Super Massive Black Hole, Image Released By NASA In M84 Galaxy

Hubble Reveals Supermassive Black Hole In M84 Galaxy

M84 Galaxy Super-Massive Black Hole

This Image was just released by NASA, taken by the imaging spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. Their data reveals that this Black Hole is moving/rotating at a speed of 880,000 miles per hour and is located 26 light years from the center of the M84 galaxy.The size of this object, if you can call it an object since it does not have a measurable amount of mass, has a size of 300 million solar masses which means that you could fit 300 million stars the size of our sun inside of its outer boundary. The black hole is 50 million light years from Earth. M84 resides within the Virgo cluster of galaxies and relatively nearby is M87 galaxy which also has a super-massive black hole residing somewhat near its center.

These marvels of creation are truly included when the scriptures say that God is greatly glorified by his creation. The heavens  speak of the fact that not only do the Scriptures offer great evidence of the presence of a wonderful Creator but the creation itself  surpasses our ability to categorize the greatness of his splendor! Magnify The LORD and Glorify His Name.

Amen

The Spiritual Gifts from The Holy Spirit  are provided to believers when they receive Eternal Life through Faith in their LORD and Savior, Jesus The Messiah or The Word of God who set aside His Prerogative to remain seated on the Throne of Glory, at the Right Hand of The Father. He then Chose to be born a human being, who are created in the image of God. It was Love that caused Him to do this and pity for this vast sea of humanity who were like sheep without a Shepard, wandering to and fro without hope. Mankind had been cursed along with all of creation and without a sinless Savior to become the Final and most complete sacrifice, there was no hope for mankind. After Our LORD paid the Great Price for our salvation, He then returned to Glory and 10 days later He sent the promised Holy Spirit at the time of Pentecost which meant that Jerusalem was filled with those who chose to worship the God of the Jewish people. This was the beginning of the "Church" which is the "Body of Christ", Also known as the "Bride of Christ" who will someday be snatched away to meet The Lord in the air or upper atmosphere which is called the "Second Heaven". Actually, it could be anywhere, from where the clouds are to the outer atmosphere or "space".

Now back to the "Gifts of The Spirit". Each "true believer" receives at least one spiritual gift and these are available in the books of 1st Corinthians chapters 12, and 14, 1st Peter chapter 4, Ephesians chapter 4, Romans chapter 4 and of course in the book of Acts which describes the coming of The Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Today is a time like no other in the history of the Earth. The battle is raging for the hearts, minds, and souls of our children. The enemy of all mankind has conceived all manner of traps, snares, and deceptions to keep or prevent as many human beings from knowing the Truth which is God's Truth and no other. The battle is on Earth yet the primary players are in another realm or dimension. This takes an incredible amount of "Spiritual Discernment".The spiritual gift of discernment is listed in the Bible as "Discerning of Spirits". We also must use much caution when defending against an invisible enemy who hates all of humanity because we are created in the image of God.  God is their primary enemy. That which makes it even more difficult to understand is that the battle has already been won by "The Word of God", when He died on the cross and paid the sin debt for all who will believe a simple yet astonishing truth. "We are Saved By Grace Through Faith". All other religions are in one form or another, "works based" in their understanding of what is "good" and what is needed for atonement, of one sort or another

.

The description of this spiritual battle in the Bible has proven to be absolutely true. I know this from personal experience yet  it has taken decades for me to even begin to understand why I have seen and experienced all that I have. I finally turned to the Bible after God personally stepped into my life at the age of 30. There was a long interval where I was like a ship without a rudder because I received Christ as my Savior at the age of 6 and for a variety of reasons why,  it took a long time for me to look to "The Book", the Bible, for some answers. It is now like daily food that is every bit as important as food for the body. The better the nutrition for the body then the healthier will be the body, and it is the same for our soul and spirit! Without daily feeding on God's word, we become not only malnourished but leave ourselves open to attack by "the enemy". This does not mean that we are not attacked daily any way, it means that we are better prepared to resist the attacks. I have found that for me it is necessary to listen to the audio Bible daily if possible and also listen every evening to as many of my favorite Bible expositors as possible.  Since I live alone it is possible for me to spend most of my waking hours filling my mind with God's truths. It is something like an immunization. The enemy still tries to get a foot-hold in my life but when his attacks happen, I know why and do not turn and run but stand my ground with the addition of spiritual armor from God and can even use the LORD's offensive  weapon which is God's Word!

A Question Of Life / An Enduring Question Of Purpose

      A Question Of Life                                                                    

Quite often, I ask myself what should I be,
just another poet, an apple in a tree?
The answer is out there, it is so difficult to see.
It is shadowed by heartache.
It is shadowed by thee..
Should I be a poet?
Should I be a cook?
Should I go to college?
Should I write a book?
The answer is out there, it is so difficult to see.
Will I ever find, what life means to me?

Another Soul Enters Eternity

                                                                   The Nountaineer



I have felt unusually down-in-the-dumps lately and I have not understood why. Today, I went to a Super Store whose name I will leave unmentioned, and at the next check-out counter I recognized three women of whom two do not live in my neck of- the-woods normally but I knew why they were in the area. The 90-year-old mother of the two sisters were in town because their mother had suffered  some Type of  heart attack. I had been in the dark except for a brief description about this woman being in the hospital. We finished checking-out at the same time and I was very anxious to ask about their mother. When I did, I was given the bad news that she had passed away yesterday.

I ate lunch with this woman in a semi-public facility a few times each week, and had done so for a few years. I had been very concerned about her because she had behaved in an unusual way, Other than  in previous months. Her attitude toward me had changed, even though I took very good care of her. I suspected that it had to do with the fact that I had on a few occasions mentioned that I was a Christian and had made brief comments to another person sitting with us, along those lines.  Even though these comments were made to other people seated with us, I suspected that it bothered her somehow. I believe that she was not "Saved"and she had developed hard feelings toward me, because of it, somehow. I am now convinced that The Holy Spirit had worked on her heart but she was resistant. I had waited for an opportunity to witness to her but she never joined the conversation when Christian related comments were made in her hearing. My heart has been very burdened because of her spiritual condition and somehow, The Holy Spirit was causing me to be troubled over her condition because her time was short!

This goes back to other posts that I have written about "Spiritual Gifting"and It was the gift of "Spiritual Discernment" which is in the Bible called, "Discerning of Spirits" that through God's Spirit, had troubled me for this past week or longer! Now she is Gone and I am convinced that she is not in a good place because of her stubbornness and now she will have to endure an eternity of punishment. I can not tell you how saddened I am over this situation and wish it had turned out differently

.
If you have anyone close to you who you suspect that he or she is not saved then make every effort to talk to them, privately, if possible because you may not have another chance, which was the case in my life. It is too important to allow an opportunity to witness to pass by! Eternity is a very long time, especially in hell.
