The concept of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in the New Testament, is a profound testament to the intricate and transcendent relationship between humanity and the divine. These gifts are not merely symbolic tokens; they are transformative powers that enable individuals to transcend their ordinary limitations and align themselves with a higher purpose. To truly grasp the magnitude of these gifts, one must delve into their biblical foundations and understand their psychological and spiritual implications. In 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, the Apostle Paul provides a detailed enumeration of these gifts: “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish betwee...
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him

What do I think about the TV Series Upload Season 1?
I've just finished binge watching the first season of this Amazon Original TV series, Upload. If you haven't watched it yet I recommend that you discontinue reading this article as I could mention some spoilers ahead and I don't want to ruin your experience. You guys can watch it for free if you are a member of Amazon Prime via Prime Video or avail of the trial period here.
I got hooked to it because there's this element of mystery plus it had its take on its version of digital afterlife and the classic the underdog-wins-the-day vibe to go with it. The story is about this software genius young man named Nathan Brown who was on the verge of becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg but before he a chance to become that, he unfortunately had a questionable accident while riding a self-driving car. As he was dying on the hospital, he was asked to make a choice of going to the operating room to try and save himself or have himself uploaded to Horizen's Lakeview afterlife where he will get to live forever in digital heaven.
There he can continue to exist and be in contact with people who are still alive and those that are in the same program as he is. This is also where Nathan gets to meet Nora Antony, Horizen's tech support angel. Nora is your good girl next door type of person and just like many struggling day to day to make ends meet. She noticed some anomalies with Nathan's account leading her to be more extra curious about him. This eventually led to her and Nathan developing to become friends and more.
They later on realized that Nathan's death wasn't accidental and as Nora helps him recover some memories back, they get entangled into a web of murder mystery. Who wants Nathan dead and why?
IMDB gave this is a rating of 8.0 and I think is fair enough. Personally, if such option of living this digital afterlife was available, I wouldn't take it. I would roll my dice with God's version of heaven than this.
Season 2 will be interesting and I can't wait enough for it. It will be great watching it with a fast and safe VPN connection like NordVPN. Click on the banner below for special deals.
Also, Nathan would have found this handy before his accident as they'd be another set of reliable eyes on the road. You can get these Rexing Dashboard cams in Amazon Australia by clicking here or get special deals by clicking on the banner below.
This is all for now. As I said, the 8.0 rating that IMDB gave I think is fair and this should be a good series to watch. Until then, keep safe and stay safe everyone.
God bless you all.
