Understanding the use of numerology

by Joyce LaCourse - 1/10/20 1:41 PM

Numerology is to be used as knowledge not to be bound by in our life. The western world needs to understand there is a spiritual realm that is in operation, but as a follower of Jesus Christ, has no dominion over us. Our identity in Christ authorized us to rule and reign over the spiritual realm! A curse is broken by our verbal voice saying, “I will partner with this curse no longer. Be gone in Jesus’ name! Torment is from the enemy! Peace is from our Papa in heaven! Do not be deceived and stay any longer in torment! Read victory over the darkness and bondage breaker by Neil Anderson. Be free in Christ today my friends!

Cursed by the number 16

by Margot - 6/26/19 2:37 AM

When I was a teenager I started noticing that anytime something bad would happen to me it would happen on the 16th or a date that added up to the number 16. This has happened to me my whole life. I had a bad wreck on 5/29 (adds up to 16), and the time the cop printed out the ticket was 16:16 in military time. I don't know why this number has caused me trouble my whole life but I'm sick of it.

I thinks its interesting 16 is a "bad date" for you. Especially since your name is Margot. I was born Nov 16 which I've studied and found on Nov 16 1093 St. Margaret of Scotland died. Your name us Margot which is close to Margaret and you say the 16th is a bad date. Interesting.

y birthday a couple of days ago, I had the most bizarre experience. But for now, my sweet sixteen was 8-16-79. I had just escaped from many years of physical\mental abuse at the hands of my father. Somehow, my aunt took me into their home. This completed the near destruction of my prior life, and allowed me to rebuild under a kind, loving family. Every aspect of my life was affected. Since, I have been through seveeral other fight\flight life changes where I build up career, objects, relationships. At the highest peaks, I suffered, underwent abuse, and finally just ran to rebuild in another environment. it is 2016 and I am on my 6th revival\rejuvenation\rebuild. No regrets; everything has made me me.

16 is the age of maturity in the old days. It's when girls were old enough to be accepted into society and choose a mate. Interestingly enough, I found some information on the number 16 in numerology and the occult.

The number 16 is a karmic number, and people under its influence need to keep their feet on the path of higher learning. They must cultivate their personal willpower, independence and initiative action to enable them to overcome obstacles that come into their life experiences.

Number 16 denotes that many will experience trials and defeats throughout their lives. Unforeseen events may seem to follow people with this number, and possible manifestations of this energy include illicit love affairs and/or money losses.

16 brings in the single number of 7, with its energies of obligation and responsibility to listen to its inner-voice which will always warn them of danger through their dreams and strong intuition. When this number is transmuted to the higher vibration it expresses itself as love... more...

Let us not forget one of the famous bible verses in the Bible.Life is all about balance and that is the most important part of living life.We cant have too much good nor the bad.So I advise you guys not to stress too much on the 16th number or any other numbers and go paranoid about it just because you think it is a bad omen for the most part.We just have to learn to apply positivity in our system.Lets not forget the earth was created beautiful in the beginning,just that humans messed it up usually ;)

Last 3 Relationships 16

by Andrew - 12/04/16 8:44 AM

The last 3 people I lost in my life & love were all born on the 16th day. My mother 02/16 and each ex which ended terribly 09/16 and 03/16. When added verticality:
3 is half of 6 (666) ?
16
16
16
Am I paranoid or does this have meaning, the number of the beast 666 has chased me for most of my juvenile & adult life. Once I was so pissed the food handling cashier didn't wash his hands then argued with me my total came to 666 on a old school cash register when it clearly should have been over $10. We all knew it but no body said a word and got change from my $10. Guy next to me had same items no drink and his was $7.45.
Any help or comments, had no idea 16 had so much meaning

so cool! I have worked with computers since 1980, and have based my career and entertainment around them.

Being more of a nerd type, I havent put much effort into occult, fantasy type of data. Howevere, the other day, I sat and observed many interesting phenomenon while researching the problems Youtube\google is having with self replicating channels, ids, links, and playlists.

Something popped up to focus on the 3, the three is key. Wow....WOW.

8-16-1963, sweet sixteen in 79. Just hit 53, and on a rebuild mode of one of many complete life rebuilds. Found I am linked to both good\bad descruction\construction, along with ancient areas of sun god, Horus, Isis, etcx. I just closed up the only music store around. It was named House of Rock which I sometimes abbreviated HOR. The same Horus was abbreviated. sick. sick. sick....Binary for 3 is 0011. Horus is perpendicular side of triangle similar to bible based trinity.

And the address for my home and music store. 1011 Hwy 2. Hi all!!

Chester, Jesus LOVES you with ALL of His heart. That is why He died on the cross to save you from fear and all your sins so that you may live with Him forever. God said "Fear not, for I am with you, do not be discouraged, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, and I will help you, I will hold you up with my righteousness right hand." This scripture can be found in your Bible in Isaiah 41:10-13.
God also said "I will never leave you nor forsake you" Hebrews 13:5
But to be delivered from your fear, you MUST pray to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you of all the wrongs you have done and thought about. Tell Him to come into you life and heart. Tell him you SURRENDER you whole life to him. When you do this, Jesus will come Into your heart and be your personal Lord and Saviour. And if those evil things both you again, keep telling Jesus you are His, your life is His and that you love him and trust that he loves you.
You will be okay. Chester, believe me, Jesus loves you.

Number Got Nothing To Do With Me

by Raaz - 7/20/15 9:32 PM

Human is the best creature of nature. Human discovered numbers. Numbers didn't discovered human. So numbers can do absolutely nothing to human. If you think that some mumbers are really very much related to your life then remember that it's just a game of the time which is running in it's own way and suddenly you got in the same track with it. So numbers are just numbers. They are not God to control your life.

I know many different persons of the same birth number and they are all of different aspects. If numbers really had something to do with then why those persons have different aspects in life???

Anyway, if you think your life is getting busted for numbers then consider my consultion. Hope that I can help you.
