Memories of the past and dreams of the future

As we age, we have beautiful memories to learn from. It is good to prepare for life in eternity. That's where we're going.

The reason for choosing those songs


I exceptionally chose three good songs that fit the topic. I sang tenor in a choir when I was young and learned that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit by singing songs according to the teachings of the Bible. The song creates joy, faith and hope.

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, our thoughts are purified and brightened and we begin to see spiritual secrets with new eyes of the spirit. After that, we also get to experience supernatural guidance, which our mind often doesn't understand at first, but afterwards we realize that we were clearly guided by the Most High and we rejoice in it!

I have many beautiful memories of just that and that's why I recommend everyone to sing spiritual songs alone and together with others. Everyone can at least listen to such songs and there are thousands of them on YouTube, for example.


Biblical instructions for walking in the Spirit


Eph. 5:18-21
>>18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and singing praises in your heart to Adonai;
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Yeshua the Messiah, to Elohim, even the Father;
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of the Messiah.<<


Galatians 5:22-25
>>22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to the Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.<<


A wish at the end

A blessed journey for you together with all of us to our heavenly hometown, the New Jerusalem!
