The butterfly effect is a concept that states that "small causes can have larger effects".
This concept was initially used in theories about weather prediction but later the term became a popular metaphor in science writing.
According to this theory “Each path produces a different outcome”
The butterfly effect is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. Translated into mass culture, the butterfly effect has become a metaphor for the existence of seemingly insignificant moments that alter history and shape destinies.
Actually the term “The Butterfly Effect”, was a phenomenon proposed in a doctoral thesis written in 1963 by Edward Lorenz. It states that a butterfly, by flapping its wings in one place and time is able to create a major weather event in another place and time, eventually having a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent events.
Do not despise these small beginnings — Zechariah 4:10
What do you do when your Hope dies? Why should we have hope in Christ? Because he has plans for us for good, to give us a future and a hope for better things, either in this life or the next. Psalm 94:19 New Living Translation When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer
Job tells his friends that he will go to his nest and experience rebirth like the Phoenix. Learn the power of God to give you second chances.
Do you really know the God of the Bible, or do you just know about him? God sees you right where you are. He is using what you’re going through to prepare you for great things ahead.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Do you know who your God is?
You can quote Scripture, plaster inspirational quotes on your social media, fluently use God-talk, show up at church every time the door is open, and still demonstrate that you don’t really believe God is who He says He is.
Today most Christians expect the church to give them something that only God himself can give.
Jesus says in Matthew 20:28, that he “did not come expecting to be served by everyone, but to serve everyone…”

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, on the Lord.
One of the problems I keep seeing in Christians is that they act and make decisions without God. It is important to think about the consequences of not waiting on the Lord.
Luke 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”
His promises will never fail us. We can, and should, have complete faith and confidence that we can rely on his Word. Why? Because all things are possible for God.
SEVEN EYES, SEVEN LAMPS, AND SEVEN SPIRITS Zechariah 4:2 says, “And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see that there is a lamp-stand all of gold, with its bowl on top of it and its seven lamps upon it.” Chapter three says that “upon one stone are seven eyes” (v. 9). Chapter four says that upon the lamp-stand are seven lamps.
verse 10 of chapter four says, “For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven….”
The seven lamps in chapter four are, without a doubt, the seven eyes of God.
Matthew 12:22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
The Man
We see Jesus healing and removing a demon from a person that was both blind and mute. This man’s inability to hear or communicate had put him in danger, as people use their hearing more than they realize to avoid harm
The infirmity was more than physical. The cause for this extreme disability was spiritual in its roots.
The reason for his condition appears to have been oppression by a demon. Demons, as shown in the New Testament, can sometimes cause disabilities in their victims.
Jesus immediately solves the man's problem by healing him, likely by casting the demon out. Suddenly the man can see and speak.
Isaiah 35:5 "Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped."
The crowds
Matthew 12:23-24 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”
Following this healing the crowd is amazed and impressed.
Satan has a way of making every life miserable he comes into contact with. In mercy, Jesus heals.
The viewers of the miraculous were overwhelmed – quite literally beside themselves with amazement and wonder. They knew healings like this had to be the handiwork of God.
the crowds began to question: "Could this be the Son of David?"
Reaction
This will lead to something more than a denial of a miracle. Rather than expressing doubt that this was a supernatural event, the Pharisees will accept that it's miraculous. However, they are so hardened against God that they'll insist the power comes from Satan (Matthew 12:24)
Jesus took the Pharisees nonsensical accusations and showed them for the foolishness that they truly were.
Proverbs 3:30 Do not accuse a man for no reason--when he has done you no harm
Do you need deliverance?
Jesus makes the obvious point that kingdoms cannot stand which are divided against themselves. The common end to divisions is desolation. If you need deliverance make up your mind about Christ!
There is no greater power that can heal completely but Jesus. Seek the Father’s Will for your life, embrace the Holy Spirit and become a child of God.
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
When the healing becomes known, the people declare that He had done all things well (literally "beautifully")
1 Kings 18:12 As soon as I am gone from you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry youto a place I do not know, and so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will execute me. But I, your servant, have feared the Lord since my youth.
Being transported physically or translated in the spirit is when you are taken away to another place to deliver a message or prophetic word of God. God will speak to His people through being transported in the Spirit of God
Elijah was frequently transported by the Spirit of God from one location to another. He would just disappear from sight as he was carried by God to different places.
Philip was supernaturally teleported from the desert to Azotus (Acts 8:40).
As Christians we are carrying on the work of Jesus. This is a promise to all believers. This is astonishing. So there is no exclusion here if you are a Christian. We should move in this faith if we are true follower of Jesus!
The text says, “whoever believes in me.” This exact phrase is also mentioned other times by the Lord.
As the apostles established the early church after Christi's resurrection, they traveled preaching the gospel, healing diseases, raising the dead, and exorcising demonic spirits.
Everyone Who Came To Jesus Was Healed
When Jesus walked on earth, more than two-thirds of His ministry involved healing the sick. They brought them all to Jesus; the sick, demon possessed, afflicted, tormented, in severe pain, paralyzed, etc, and He healed delivered and set them all free.
Malchus, whose name means "king"
Malchus' story is found in all four Gospels. Though he is specifically named only in John 18:10-11, he is also found in Mark 14:45-49, Matthew 26:50-54, and in Luke 22:49-53 as the "servant of the high priest."
Jesus cleansed ten lepers - Luke 17:11-19 - Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten lepers cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
The Location The land between Samaria and Galilee is a place where one might find oneself unsure of who belonged and who didn’t, where one might be uncertain, un-trusting, even a little fearful. It is a place where the costumed rules might not apply
The 10 lepers, are a group of people excluded from community life because of their medical condition, and one leper was considered to have been doubly excluded because of his ethnicity. He was a Samaritan.
The Healing The lepers, “keeping their distance,” call out to Jesus, not specifically to heal them but to “have mercy on us!”
When Jesus sees them, he sends them to the priests, who will determine according to the law of Moses, specifically Leviticus 14, whether they have been healed of leprosy. The lepers immediately demonstrate their faith by following Jesus’ instruction even though they still have their disease.
Only as they are on their way, do we find out that “they were made clean.”
The Samaritan The gospel says that only the Samaritan turns back to praise God and (literally translated) “fell before his feet” and thanks Jesus.
Jesus asks rhetorically, “Were not 10 made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?
Jesus then addresses the healed Samaritan: “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.” But was not the Samaritan already well even before he came back praising God and giving thanks to Jesus?
The Samaritan’s return allows Jesus to demonstrate that no one, not a leper, nor a Samaritan, is beyond God’s mercy.
Why go to the ceremonial priests when the Great High Priest was right there?
Jesus didn’t have the robes and the air of self importance like most preachers have, He was cloaked in humility, yet He was authentic.
God’s mercy is for all - Jesus is there when we cry out to Him for his mercy
-
Jesus is not a respecter of persons
-
It often takes a step of obedience before we see God’s miracles
-
Our faith in Christ will cause us to fall at His feet in worship
WHO IS YOUR PRIEST?
Jesus cured a deaf and mute man.
Mark 7:31-37
Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. 33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. 36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said.“He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Luke 23:26 (ESV) And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.
Simon of Cyerene
Mark 15:21 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
Cyrene is a city in North Africa, today’s Libya. We don’t know if he was Jewish or Gentile because the name Simon was common for Greeks and Jews
Luke is the only one of the Gospels that says Simon carried the cross behind Jesus. All the other Gospels that mention this just say he carried it.
Luke 9:23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Suffering with Jesus
Simon was chosen so suddenly and unexpectedly for the heavy task be Luke’s way of teaching us that we don’t always choose the moment of our cross bearing?
We don’t always choose the moment of our suffering. They come upon us in unexpected ways, frightening ways, heavy ways, painful ways, seemingly random ways.
The call to suffer for Jesus is often sudden and costly and seemingly random
Accidentally following Jesus
There is speculation, based on some church tradition, that Simon of Cyrene later became a Christian
There is also tradition that the Rufus mentioned in Mark 15:21 is the same Rufus mentioned in Romans 16:13. If this is the case, then it would lend credence to the idea that Simon and his family were prominent in the early church
Carrying the cross
The act of carrying the cross was forced upon Simon of Cyrene, symbolizing another important truth: Carrying our cross isn’t necessarily a choice
The cross is more than a place where Jesus died. It’s a place of transformation,
Luke 14:27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
In the Bible, the word leprosy is mentioned upwards of 40 times. Leprosy is a painful and infectious disease that is seen on the skin. The symptoms range from white patches on the skin to running sores to the loss of digits on the fingers and toes. Incurable by man, many believed God inflicted the curse of leprosy upon people for the sins they committed. A leper wasn’t allowed to come within six feet of any other human, including his own family. The disease was considered so revolting that the leper wasn’t permitted to come within 150 feet of anyone when the wind was blowing. Lepers lived in a community with other lepers until they either got better or died. This was the only way the people knew to contain the spread of the contagious forms of leprosy.
The Miracle
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

Pastor Tony Silveira at the Passion Centre. Jesus’ upside-down approach to our world. It is the way of his grace
We live in a world where the biggest, best, and brightest succeed, while the littlest, last, and least get trampled. But Jesus disrupts and interrupts our quest for power and our lust for significance.
"God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God" 1 Corinthians 1:27–29

Pastor Tony Silveira at the Passion Centre. he Amplified Bible is the ONLY translation that uses the phrase “vital necessity” in our relationship with and to God: Jeremiah 29:13 Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. What things do you consider a vital necessity in your life? In other words, what can’t you live without? Most people would immediately think of food, water and shelter; but in reality, we can’t really live unless our minds and hearts are set on seeking the Lord.
Tony Silveira at the Passion Centre. The first prayer in the Bible, the prayers of Jesus, and the last prayer in the Bible.
Pasteur Tony Silveira à Cité Passion Jésus a la mission déclarée de guérir les cœurs brisés. La guérison intérieure est au cœur de ce que Jésus fait. La Bible n’utilise pas le mot «survivant», mais il utilise le mot "vainqueur". C’est très intéressant le sens dans la langue originale (grec), il sidnifie de prévaloir, de passer au dessus, d’avoir la victoire. Je ne veux pas simplement survivre, je veux obtenir la victoire, je veux être un vainqueur!

A message by Tony Silveira. Some Christians say that severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are caused by demonic forces. This assessment was widespread throughout much of the Middle Ages. Today it still exists in charismatic circles. We cannot say that mental illness is demonic possession.

Well this happened with old engines but now it really doesn’t pass the gas filter however if you put candy, caramel or a snickers bar on the tank the engine will start to have problems and there is a permanent damage. The only solution is to replace the engine or trash the car. Today I want to talk about those sweet things that can destroy your spiritual life without you noticing.

Luke 24:53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. This is the last sentence writen by Luke in his gospel. Why is this meaningful? Let's notice how the gospel of Luke starts Luke 1:1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilledamong us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

The first sphere are said to be direct servants of God.
The second sphere of angels rule over Earth.
The third Sphere have as their primary job helping humans. They are guides, messengers, and protectors.
Tony Silveira live from the Passion Centre. The first sphere are said to be direct servants of God. The second sphere of angels rule over Earth. Angels of the Second Sphere work as heavenly governors of creation by subjecting matter and guiding and ruling the spirits. Angels of the Second Sphere work as heavenly governors. Second level Angels in the second level of the hierarchy function as celestial governors, presiding over existence on earth without manifesting their existence to humans. The second Sphere of angels also contains three ranks: Dominions, Virtues and Powers. This second order of angels includes those who regulate the duties of the angels in the Third Sphere, as well as overseeing that cosmic order is maintained. They also keep tabs on how “power” is distributed within our own physical world. For the names of these supernal Beings denote the divine characteristics of their likeness to God. This middle rank of the Celestial Intelligences, having these Godlike characteristics, is purified, illuminated and perfected in the manner already described, by the divine Illuminations bestowed upon it in a secondary mariner through the first hierarchical Order, and shown forth in a secondary manifestation by the middle choir.
There are 3 different spheres where Angels are mentioned in Holy Scriptures. Each Sphere has 3 orders of Angels giving us a total of 9 orders of Angels. St. Gregory the Great teaches, based on Saint Paul’s writings, that there are nine orders of angels. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches the same ninefold pattern at Summa theologica I, q. 108. Angels of the First Sphere - Message by Tony Silveira A SPHERE refers to Rank; order of society; social positions. REALM means, a royal jurisdiction or domain; a region which is under the dominion of a king; a kingdom. Today I'm teaching you about the first SPHERE of Angels and I will mention briefly a few different instances where angels where used by God to establish God's REALM or KINGDOM on Earth.
Jesus said, "If you tell others that you belong to me, the Son of Man will tell God's angels that you are my followers." Learn about Angels with Tony SIlveira at the Passion Centre in Montreal.
Take it easy is a message by Tony SIlveira t the Passion Centre in Montreal, Quebec. According to Collins dictionary, If someone tells you to take it easy or take things easy, they mean that you should relax and not do very much at all. In God, being favored is part of the package, and you never fear an upset for you stay favored. There are seasons that God will require us to relax and let Him do His will without our interference. I have here this item from a company called Staples (Bureau en Gros in French Canada). There pitch is that they take hard office work that would normally be to hard to do in one day and they say If you will bring it to Staples they will fix it up and MAKE IT EASY for you. There logo is an EASY button that you press and when you press the button it says, “That was Easy”!
A practical application of the prodigal son's parable to your life by Steph Martin at the Passion Centre
We apologize for the sound quality we had to use a backup source. We ear a lot about contagious viruses and forms of protection against it. This way we protect our bodies from a potential damage, sometimes even death. However people pay little attention to their spiritual life and don't protect themselves from spiritual damage caused by negativity. Sin can transform you into someone who is functionally ‘dead’ in the eyes of God and your community. Both the old and new testament Scriptures talk about separation from sin. God intended that a painful separation would hopefully cause an individual to return from the error of his ways. There are two aspects to consider when talking about Spiritual contagion, 1. Contagious blessings 2. Contagious curses
The wind blows where it wishes. John 3: 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. What does Jesus mean by comparing the wind to a person who is born of the Spirit? Tony Silveira teaches about The wind of the Spirit

Higher than our ways - Devotional video and message from the service at the Passion Centre in Montreal, Canada. Pastor Tony Silveira talks about God's ways and our journey with Christ
Passion led us here… Most people are marked with passion in their emotions as children. I read somewhere, that Dr Norman Vincent Peale was walking by a tattoo shop when a confused looking young man came out of the shop with a tattoo in his right arm that read “Born to Lose”. Dr Peale asked the tattoo artist about it and the tattoo artist replied…. “ I did ask the young man if he was sure that he wanted to state “Born to lose” in his arm and the young man was pretty stubborn in that. A surprised Dr Peale asked the tattoo artist – “Isn't that surprising?” For which the artiste replied “Not really! Much before he tattooed it on his arm, he has firmly tattooed it in his brain, and his body tattoo act is just a reflection of his mind tattoo”. Some people, (like Jabez or this young man that did the horrible tatoo), carry emotional marks of defeat that cannot be seen by human eyes but that are visible in the Spirit.
Returning to the Father’s house - The Prodigal son
This is a story of a son’s repentance and a father’s great love and forgiveness. And He said, a certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. The Bible does not tell us why this young man chose to ask for his share, or portion, of the inheritance he would receive when his father died.

How to Have Your Own Personal Pentecost. What is Your Spiritual Temperature? Be the thermostat, not the thermometer.
The words thermometer and thermostat sound awfully similar but there is a huge difference. A thermometer is like a mirror, it reflects the temperature of its environment. You’ll notice that the language of a thermometer is always influenced by what is going on around it. So when the temperature of a room is hot, the reading is high- if the temperature of the room drops, the reading drops too! Thermometers are in a constant state of change, meaning they can be both “up” and “down” within minutes.
A thermostat, on the other hand, is used to regulate its environment. You may think you’ve never seen one before but that temperature control on your wall at home is exactly that! This modern word is based on two ancient Greek terms: thermo (meaning heat) and statos (which is related to words like statis and static meaning to stay the same). Which perfectly explains the role of a thermostat – to maintain a desired temperature
We should all wash our hands, and in our Church building, we are providing Purell and anti-septic wipes to everyone. But we must also make sure to not surrender to the downward spiral of fear and choose instead to act with faith. We need to be aware and conscious and also retain our souls and spiritual well-being. People should seek the forgiveness of their sins as much as they purify their hands with water, soap and Purell
COVID-19 is a shared experience that’s stressful for everyone. In this moment of uncertainty and anxiety, there are a few things that science tells us can genuinely help. Today I wuld like to share Spiritual truths that can help you purify your soul.
Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
God is perfect and pure. We are called to be perfect as God in heaven is perfect. We need to be cleansed from our sins. We need “spiritual Purell” for our soul!
Isaiah 1:18 Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.

Moses had to wear a face mask and he did a quarantine after his encounter with God on Mount Sinai. During the Exodus, God descended on Mount Sinai and told Moses to visit him on the top of the mountain. Moses met the Lord on the mountain and after that the prophet and leader of the Israelites experienced a dramatic personality change. Why do I call Moses’ face mask a Do It Yourself thing? First of all we don’t see any indication that God told him to wear it. He did the face mask for a reason.The veil, or face mask that Moses used after his encounter with God was interpreted in many different ways, Today we are going to learn some truths about the reason why he weared Face mask, both from the Bible, Jewish traditional teachings and I will also give you my personal views on this subject.

WHEN THE EAGLE GROWS OLD, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather of his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out. We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives . . .Tony Silveira at the Passion Centre in Montreal, Quebec
This is an interview with Dr Russ Moyer during the covid-19 Outbreak. Tony Silveira asks about opportunities to preach the Gospel and end times.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ: The ancient Greek word translated Revelation is apokalupsis (apocalypse). The word simply means “a revealing, an unveiling.”
Merryam-Webster Dictionary gives 2 meanings to the word
- The expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom
- A great disaster
- (Collins) A cataclysmic event, the sudden and violent end of the world.
This said the meaning of this word has 2 opposites. For Christians is a great thing, for the world is a catastrophe.
History can be divided into "ages" (aeons), which are time periods each with certain commonalities. One age comes to an end and a new age or world to come begins. The Apocalypse does not deal with the "end of time" but rather with the end of a certain period, the end of life as it is now, and the beginning of a new period. So we can say for certain that we are living “Apocalyptic times”.
CNET (Article March 16, 2020): Need a playlist for a coronavirus outbreak that would've seemed inconceivable just a month ago? Alternative rock band R.E.M.'s 1987 hit, It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), might just be on that soundtrack. The buzzy hit has shown up in the top songs list on iTunes.
Today a Google search under "Covid-19" comes up with 13 billion hits. People have been in isolation and quarantine for weeks. The economic impact of this coronavirus outbreak is just incalculable. No shopping, limited production, little or no travelling (business or pleasure), workplaces shutting down, possibly for ever, markets crashing, profit margins destroyed, health facilities strained to breaking point. Of course, the way we live our lives, cramped together in open offices, trains, buses, factories, planes, classrooms, favours the spread of the virus enormously.
The virus is not out to get us as such – we are merely a convenient part of its life cycle. A handy link in its chain, because we frequently touch the same public surfaces, and then touch our faces.
Pretty soon, there is unlikely to be any country in the world that remains unaffected. Disruption on this global type of scale has never happened before for more than a day or two. This looks set to carry on for weeks, if not months. The world economy could go into a tailspin. We just don't know.
So what do we do? Stay calm. Panic won't help anyone.
Is this related to the Bible book of Revelation. Is it described there as a percursor to the end-times? The answer is yes and I will show you how.
This is an answer to the question "Are we living in the end times?"

Proverbs 4:23 (TPT) So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.
In the Old Testament the word “heart” is used more than 800 times, but more than 200 times it deals with one's thought life, emotions, the wellsprings of life, those things that motivate and mold us.
