Realization [Please take some time to meditate on this]
My first realization is the extreme effort God has put in over the course of time to help
people, protect people and find ways to help them get the word. The heart ❤️ to
forgive and allow people so many chances.

One of the realizations I had while hearing the Word was when we discussed Judas
Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus. I realized that I too have betrayed God by allowing my
desires to win. This is the work of Satan and how his spirit enters people to get them to
turn away from God and our obedience to Him; but God is there waiting for me to
repent and turn back to him. I have the ability to choose which bowl I will become. In
order to become the bowl that is refined and sealed to contain God's Word, I must
repent and give a clean bowl (heart) to God.

I am thankful to see the spiritual process of being molded into clay. What I see most is
that the clay that is going through this process must continually look at himself
constantly. It is a blessing, yet a self reflective journey I must go through to constantly
see what the condition of my heart is. Knowing that as a imperfect human growing up
in Satan's culture, I must see what I have been through and what is corrupt daily and try
to find a better way to live through God's word.

According to this lesson, I view myself as the bowl going through the refinery process,
praying to God to help me to remove all of the impurities in my heart. I think that God
is very happy to see me overcome and persevere with the word, but Satan's hope is for
me to give up. I must change by getting rid of all of the dregs so that I can become the
person with a noble heart.

This lesson allowed me to realize that there is a process to being formed into a bowl
that is useful for God and does not perish. That process follows specific steps that I
must go through myself spiritually with God the potter helping to form me as I go on
the journey of learning the revealed word. The process is not easy, but I have to keep
an open mind and heart to listen to God so I am able to be cleansed and corrected
along the way. I want to endure so that I can withstand the fire of God to be a well
sealed and noble bowl.

2nd Tim 2: 20-21 — we get to choose if we remain and ignoble bowl or become a
noble bowl - we make this choice by becoming cleansed. I also realized that The
consequence of choosing not to become cleansed is receiving judgement/the wrath of
God - this is the part that my heart has not truly realized enough. I pray for fear of this
consequence so that I am able to change now .
i realize even more how refined we will have to be in this process and i knew it would
be a hard process in the beginning and i've already experienced some pain. today my
heart feels hard and i was tired before the lesson so i really feel like satan was attacking
me making me think i can't do it but i will continue to overcome staying in this word
because i know the blessing of enduring will be way better than the thought of giving
up to be “easier” i am so thankful that God put his invisible qualities in his
physical creation to make it so much better for us to understand and bring it down to
our level and i have a thankful heart so much to realize the meaning of hills and valleys
where God takes people like paul and humbles them down then he takes people like
me someone who has sinned and with his word brings us to the same level. i know it's
taking the wrath but that wrath is a rebuke i need to be in the correct place and even if
it's hard i'll overcome with help and if i stumble and fall i will get back up

I realize the significance of being faithful and going through the process of becoming a
bowl is so significant. As we endure the fire, the fire gets endured more until I reach the
point where I can become a beautiful pot that can contain the word and not leave the
word out and live by the word. I realize that God could still use Apostle Paul and he
went through a growth process. I used to think Romans 9:21 meant God picked but I
really learned that we choose and God gives us lots of chances. It is so important to
choose to become a noble bowl and follow Christ until the end. I want to make sure I
look at myself and look at what I am choosing to decide to become and not think of the
immediate satisfaction but check my heart to follow the spiritual path. I want to contain
the revealed word for the rest of my life. I really understand how God has used the
Figurative Bowl as a mirror and how it applies to us today. I don't want to be God's
people that are like Gentiles. I want to pray to become cleaned and washed and I want
to do it without any griping and complaining. I know that all God's prophecies gets
fulfilled. I understand Revelation a lot better, however, I want to always remain humble
and always seek to learn and meditate on God's word. I want to be pleasing in the sight
of God and continually change my inward condition. I want to realize all that I am doing
wrong so that I can repent of all things. I see how important it is to listen to the word
and guidance we are given. I see the tremendous love God has for me and His people. I
want to work to change. I want to continue to put the word deep inside of me. I want
to have God's thoughts, standards, values and desires.

*I must over all the difficulty of life to become a noble bowl

*If I cleanse myself from sin and impurity, I can be used for a Noble purpose
*God doesn't look at my physical appearance but my heart and how much I keep his
word
*Refusing to change according to God's word will allow Satan to take control of me
I realized that my heart a spiritual bowl according to Acts 9:15. I need to be willing to
go through the process of transforming from clay to a bowl so that I can be an
instrument for God to use. I need to make sure that my heart is clean. I also need to
make sure that I am not in the group of Christians who receive the wrath of God
because I refuse to repent.

The two types of bowls 🥣 were very reflective. Although it seems we were
predestined to recieve one seed and follow one word, we all have a choice. As we saw
the apostle Paul! Not wanting to be like Judas who recieved the revealed word and still
chose his own thoughts and desires in the end. That is why it is important to clean our
bowls. I don't want a bug infestation because i let my desires sit and rot in my heart and
God's word was not able to come in and cleanse me. I don't want to be an instrument
for satan. If I am going through the process of becoming a bowl I might as well be a
clean one for God because he worked so hard to create it. Amen

My realization for this lesson would be seeing bowl is made and what processes it must
got through to be used for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:20-21 shows how God give
free will that it not our looks that are going to get us into heaven it's about how cleanse
our bowl are. This lesson kinda hurt but I'm ready to be fully clean to be a clean bowl !

Something that stood out to me today is the method through which God is using the
Bible in order to prepare us for the time in which he returns. Before, I had always seen
the Bible as a way for God to teach us things that would be helpful in life, but I was
completely mistaken. The way through which Jesus presented so many parables about
the Kingdom of Heaven and spoke in that language throughout Revelation in order to
ensure that the Bible is sealed has made itself apparent to me as we've been learning
the parables. What also stood out to me was the importance of remaining humble
before the word of God. For those of God's people who don't repent, many of them do
so because they cling to their old teachings over the word that is being revealed to
them. I must make sure that I listen and internalize this word, allowing it to change me
on the inside, if I want to be able to emerge as a bowl that can be filled with the
revealed word of God.

We must be the clay that overcomes. We actually get a choice to choose whether we
want to stay dirty or get cleaned. Time after time I realize that God is very patient and
he gives us several of opportunities to become clean. He doesn't judge immediately so
we shouldn't take that for granted. We should put into action the ways in enrich we will
overcome so we can keep God's word. We shouldn't try to save God for later.

I have to be careful with learning God's word, In order to not become like Judas Iscariot
or the moabs who were God's people. I have to make the definite decision to learn and
keep God's word and not pick and choose to listen to what I want to listen to but to
take it all into my heart. I have to change fully not partially to become a bowl that
contains God's word.
So to day I definitely learned some thing new but I don't feel like I realized somethings. I
realized for a second time that God is hurting and we have to conscious of the potter
feelings, and again this is a tough road to travel but in the end it will be all worth it
when we become the useful pottery.

One thing that I reflected on is why it might be hard for us to keep the word of God in
our hearts. Of course, Assistant Flo actually told me that it has to do with the fact that
there is a war going on in our hearts (as Apostol Paul writes). I'm sure that this war is
the battle in our hearts between God and Satan as we learned in earlier lessons but I'm
sure we will learn more later. However, this lesson also seems to explain what it takes
to retain the word of God. The word of God must be contained in a strong bowl (strong
heart) and not a weak bowl made of clay yet was not baked to increase its strength (a
person without word of God/ not strong enough to keep the word of God). I guess all
Christians with the reveled word of God go though trials but if I am not able to keep the
word of God then maybe my heart is still clay (although I am trying to become the clay
pot). After all, just like how we don't necessarily throw away nice pots if it has a dent in
it, God won't throw us out. Since God has the heart of a potter, he will take a lot of time
to make us into strong Christians. Therefore, this makes me want to try and become
strong now that I know another reason why it is hard to keep the word of God for me
sometimes.

Amen! thanks for sharing this lesson with us. One of the parts that really stood out me
was seeing just how precious God deems us to be. and that we have a choice becoming
a noble bowl that can be pleasing to God. I know it will be hard, I have to put he effort
in to become a bowl the can hold water.I have to continue to guard my heart from
things that would take my heart away from the word,

The process of becoming God's bowl is not an easy process, however it is also not a
process that we can choose to disregard at a whim. In the word we see that those who
contained the dregs of their wrong teaching were smashed, so MUST be cleansed to
have eternal life. Also, we must continuously consider God's heart and asses his
perspective of our spiritual bowl.

General Review

Since all prophecies have a physical realities, what will be the physical reality of God's
wrath being poured out?
