There are many plans in the heart of man. "" (Proverbs,)
«... remember the great and terrible Lord, and fight for your brothers, for your sons and for your daughters, for your wives and for your houses»
(Nehemiah 4:14)
Each of us has many desires, ideas and plans in life. We are not even surprised that there are so many of them that even a lifetime is not enough for all of them to be realized. Some desires we cherish in our hearts in the hope that someday they will come true. We are passionate people, and we want to have a lot in life. We are building new plans, despite the fact that the previous ones have not yet been completed.
We are left on the pages of the Bible: “Do not worry about anything, but always in prayer and petition with thanksgiving, open your desires to God ...” (Phil. 4:6). Here we open desires. We ask God to bless us to accomplish our plans. We cry out to the Lord and ask Him to give us what we ask.
But what does Solomon tell us in the above verse of the book of Proverbs? “Only what the Lord has decreed will take place.”
It turns out that the truth is that it is important for us to know what God wants us to do in life. Therefore, we need to know the will of God in relation to our lives. Solomon wrote, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”
“There are many plans in the heart of man, but only what is determined by the Lord will take place” (Proverbs 19:21).

Who do we listen to when we create dreams? To your "I"? To your human nature? Or, as believing people, do we trust God with our ways? The Bible says: “When the Lord is pleased with a man’s ways, He reconciles even his enemies with him.” (Proverbs 16:7). The Lord wants us to plan our lives according to His will. He knows all the days of our lives and does not want us to waste them. There is a famous phrase: "If God called me to be a missionary, I would not want to die a millionaire." She talks about the serious consequences of our choices or the results of our dreams.
Let's analyze our dreams and see where they lead the ship of our life. How good it is that the truth is revealed to us that God knows all our plans, and we can, knowing His will for us, fulfill our destiny in life.

HOW THE HOLY FIRE IS LIGHTED ️️ The appearance of the Holy Fire on Holy Saturday on the eve of Easter for millions of believers is a sign that Jesus Christ is indeed “Truly Risen”. The first mention of receiving the Holy Fire dates back to the time of the foundation of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in the 4th century. And since then, this great miracle has not been interrupted for a single year. The very process of the appearance of the Holy Fire in the temple is under the zealous supervision of the police and civil authorities of Jerusalem. On the eve of Good Friday, all candles and lights in the temple are extinguished. On the bed of the Sepulcher inside the Cuvuklia, a lamp is placed, filled with oil and with a lamp in the float, but without fire. Pieces of cotton wool are laid out all over the bed, and ribbons along the edges of the Coffin. Then the premises of Kuvuklia are carefully examined and then sealed until Great Saturday. On Holy Saturday, many pilgrims gather in the temple, waiting for the miracle of the appearance of the Holy Fire. By tradition, the patriarchs of the Greek Orthodox and Armenian churches enter Kuvuklia. In front of the entrance to Cuvuklia, the patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church undresses and remains in one cassock, he is examined and felt from head to toe in order to avoid falsifying a miracle and not allowing inflammable objects to be brought in, he has only two bunches of candles in his hands. And only after that the seal is removed from the Tomb and the patriarch is allowed into Kuvuklia to receive the Holy Fire. The patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church enters the boundary of the Holy Sepulcher, where he prays for the sending of the Holy Fire. The Patriarch of the Armenian Church is at the Angel's limit and makes sure that the Greek Patriarch does not start the fire with natural means. It is dark in Kuvuklia and the patriarch alone in complete silence prays to the Savior. Prayer always lasts in different ways, from several minutes to several hours. And suddenly, in the darkness, small fiery sparks flare up on the bed of the Life-giving Coffin, turning into fire from which cotton wool, ribbons and an icon lamp, prepared the day before, light up. From the fire that has arisen, the patriarch kindles bunches of candles and passes the Holy Fire to the pilgrims waiting in the temple. When the Holy Fire appears, like a thunderbolt, a rumble of joy and delight is heard throughout the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. Believers who have gathered in anticipation of a miracle hold bunches of candles in shrines, usually at least 33 pieces according to the number of Christ's earthly years. From this, the whole temple is illuminated by the light of the Holy Fire. In the first minutes, fire has a wonderful property - it does not burn. Therefore, pilgrims wash their faces and hands with fire, not being afraid to do themselves any harm. The Holy Fire that descended in the Church of the Resurrection is transported from Jerusalem on special flights around the world, hurrying to catch the festive Easter services. At the airports of different countries, he is met by government delegations, representatives of the clergy and ordinary believers who want to receive a piece of the Holy Fire. In Cuvuklia, the Holy Fire, received on Great Saturday, is maintained for a whole year and is extinguished only on the eve of the next Great Saturday. And every believer for a whole year can come to the Church of the Resurrection and light a bunch of candles from the fire. Then, usually, the bundle is extinguished, and the candles burned by the Holy Fire are transported by pilgrims around the globe as the greatest shrine. It should be noted that the receipt of the Holy Fire occurs only through prayers. Orthodox Patriarch. They say that in 1579 the representatives of the Armenian Church agreed with the new authorities of Jerusalem, so that they would be given the right to receive the Holy Fire. This year, representatives of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church were not even allowed into the Temple. Representatives of the Armenian Church entered Kuvukliya and began to earnestly pray for the condescension of the Holy Fire, but their prayers were never heard. Representatives of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church also prayed earnestly at the closed gates of the Temple. And this year, the Holy Fire for the first time descended not in Cuvuklia, but through one of the marble columns at the entrance to the Temple, and splitting it, lit candles in the hands of the Orthodox Patriarch. This split column can still be seen on the left side of the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
ahh) interesting to understand Proverbs 19:21 - There are many designs in the heart of man ... an interesting passage in the bible, how to understand it? definitely only God, man has the freedom of choice, it's just that God knows in advance what a person will freely choose. If there is a share of such irreversible predestination in our destinies with you, then looking at people, their lives, at the world, at the prevailing destroyed destinies, lives, it is very clear that they are not arranged by God, the plans of the path and their end, not by His Plan. And God gave man freedom of choice. And He has His way for man, but man has the right to always refuse and choose his own path. Maybe a certain thing will come true, it says that God is out of time and He already knows? .. and this place can be used in vain for self-comfort for oneself, one’s stupidities, erroneous decisions based on anything, wrong choices and actions, mistakes, to get away from a sense of loss , and do not condemn your mistakes or inaction in yourself))), amusing your carnal nature that everything was fine and God planned it, “He has such a plan for you ..”)) this is perceived by many as if it were a subconscious attitude to the soul and mind “don’t change yourself, it’s not about you and your decisions and actions .. it’s about God who planned it all and it definitely unconditionally comes true, it’s all God ... everything is according to plan and you are doing everything right” ... ahaha)) but in this case, we would not know the sin that is translated “hit the target” miss .. and lived in what God intended, regardless of the many plans.))) Christians often use this place as an excuse for their stupidities and mistakes, inaction when something is needed tighten up and sd eat and not cycle on yourself and listen to your ego caressing your ears with pink excuses .. right? and me included. but what does it say, can anyone shed some light on it? God has a plan, a life plan for every person, but NOT the Fact that it will be Incarnated into reality!!!... because you can always choose any path, loving god keeps the door open to the exit from Him and the entrance, isn't it?? Yes, He is not a man, He is ready to accept you in any state at any stage of your path, to forgive all mistakes and restore you to the path that He intended for you. all His attitude of intention and His plan are saturated with love, you turn from your own He restores, and even the bad turns into good, but it all depends on the decisions you choose, God takes into account our will or .. If I'm wrong and I don't see something .. Someone enlighten me, open this rebus on the shelves)) (I’ll tell you about everyone, I wrote without meaning to address an individual person), and I’ll be glad if someone can objectively reveal this place.

My friends call me Svitlochka. I am a missionary from Ukraine in the Far East of Russia, a radio journalist. The Lord gave me many blessings in my ministry, working on Christian radio, evangelizing children in orphanages, holding Christian camps ...
But I needed good Christian fellowship, and I found it here, I found good friends.
It so happened that when the borders opened, many Christians dispersed to different countries and cities. But the Lord provided for us to continue our friendly communication on the Internet, and I am grateful to everyone who created and works on the Invictory portal. I still haven't met the person that the Lord created just for me, my friend of life, I continue to pray for him, but I have met many good, very good friends here. And I want to say to those who are looking for friends and good relations in the family of our Heavenly Father, you will find them. Only the Lord has his own time and place for each of us. Keep hope and look at what the Lord wants to say or do through this fellowship.
