It's been said, human beings can, typically, survive for only… 1/Thee seconds [see Note below] when attacked or mauled by a wild predator (such as a lion, bear, moose, boar, or wolf). Note: These times are not absolute (as everyone is different). These times are intended to represent only general, order-of-magnitude, time-frames. 2A/Three hours (without treatment) if bitten or attacked by a poisonous snake, insect, or arachnid. 2A/Three hours (in harsh weather conditions [see Note below]) without suitable shelter. Note: Cold and wet conditions tend to be harsher on human survivability than hot and dry conditions. More people die (or die quicker) each year from hypothermia (being chilled too much for too long) than hyperthermia (being warmed too much for too long). 3/Three minutes without air. 4/Three days without water. 5A/Three weeks without food. 5B/Three weeks without sleep. 6/Three years without friendship and companionship. - Most Holy God… You’re My Hiding Place, My Prote

Jesus to Me: “ Dave … I want you to own everything in your life: This includes your thoughts, feelings, wise choices, poor choices, selfless actions, self-centered actions, inactions, words spoken, words unspoken, good deeds done, good deeds not done, bad deeds done, and bad deeds (of taking revenge, etc.) done only in your imagination. I want you, too, to take complete ownership of your life-outcomes. By that, I mean, take ownership for and of everything that’s ever happened to you—especially those things you label as being ‘bad’ or ‘evil.’”

While the practices of theoria (or contemplation) can take on a variety of nuanced forms in Christendom, they most often fall into one of two camps of contemplative practice: Camp 1: The pursuit of vision (that is, a vision of God). Camp 2: The pursuit of sanctification (that is, transformation in Christ). In the east [the Eastern Orthodox Church, etc.] the practices of theoria (or contemplation) are fueled mostly by one’s desire to see God (that is, to experience an intimate vision of Him). The contemplative practices in this approach most often entail the traversing of a progressive path of Divine illumination, like that laid out in The Ladder of Divine Ascent, an ascetical treatise written in the 7th century by St. John Climacus, an Egyptian monk. Here in the west, the practices of theoria focus more on the pursuits of biblical sanctification, wherein the one contemplating (or experiencing) God through worship and Scripture-immersion becomes more and more set apart (and made pure

J esus to Me: “Dave… You can’t rightly call yourself M-my Loved One [M-my Beloved] if you don’t live as I live. And you can’t rightly live as I live without M-me. I am, in totality, The I AM of Your Life and Being. There’s no one beside M-me.” S criptures: “Remember the former things, those of long ago; I AM God, and there’s no other; I AM God, and there’s none like Me.”  —Is 46:9 Jesus speaking: “If you love M-me, you’ll keep M-my Commands.”  —Jn 14:15 Jesus speaking: “I AM The Vine; you are The Branches. If you remain in M-me and I in you, you’ll bear much fruit; apart from M-me you can do nothing. —Jn 15:5 The fallen nature was crucified with Y-you, Jesus. It was annihilated forever and for all times, spaces, and places. Accordingly, it is no longer I (the fallen I, because he [or she] was nailed to the cross and died with Y-you) who lives but Y-you who lives and expresses Y-yourself for, in, with, through, and (mysteriously unveiled) AS me… AS me!!  —Ga 2:20 [expanded, pers

  Holy Trinity… In Your power, kill the devilish diseases within me; heal the wounds, injuries, and traumas I’ve sustained; dissolve or eliminate that which doesn’t belong; and raise to life or recreate that which is dead, damaged, or missing—or just asleep—but shouldn’t be. Heal my heart-mind, body, and personhood miraculously. Do that or show me how to do so myself. Either way, I’ll be eternally grateful to You and for You. O God… There’s residual hurt in my soul from the traumas I’ve suffered throughout my life. My reactive personas—which I created (on-the-fly and very early in life) to protect me from future harm and to “secure,” in almost any way possible, my emotional happiness—is killing me. Accordingly, let’s work together… 1/To heal me of the emotional, physical, and psycho-physical injuries that have plagued me for so long now. And… 2/To (when possible) heal and assimilate healthfully and healthily, or (when necessary) to dismantle, all such persona-constructs. Holy Papa a

1Co 14:1… The Apostle Paul writing: "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire the gifts of The Spirit, especially prophecy." -- "As I Lay Me Down to Sleep..." Holy, Glorious, and Gracious Father…As I lay me down to sleep, I ask (in obedience to You [Note: In October 2012, I was told by God prophetically to ask specifically for the things and no-things (life-giving expressions, generative creations) I mention below.]) for the following attributes, attitudes, conditions, qualities, and outcomes: 12/The Pentecostal gifts of faith; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing; the working of miracles; praying in the spirit [tongues]; speaking in prophetic tongues [Note: The uttering of prophetic tongues must always include an interpretation. Without a Spirit-inspired interpretation, such an utterance would be inordinate.]; the prophetic sharing of messages—including dreams and visions—inspired by You; the discerning of spirits, sources, intentions, movements, ga
