Another Enlightening #ConceptOfFaith @CharlesCapps1 - How Prayer Changes Your #Clay- to #Wax-in-the-Sun (or vice-versa, hardening your wax to clay) @Daystar

'Those words' (below-hyperlinked to a collection of broadcasts of Charles Capps's "Concepts of Faith"-series) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Clay” (or #Claymore #Claymation) is built on ancient words that mean "|Stiff, Sticky Earth (|Bran)" (possibly Slime, |Glue, Mucus, to |Cleave, |Adhere, |Plaster; 

(Scripture says that Clay was the material that became the Human-Body (especially important when Death turns it back into Clay); and in Daniel 2:33, #FeetOfClay is a metaphor for |Fundamental Weakness; #ClayPigeons are Baked-|Saucers used as Targets (in place of Live |Birds) in |Trap-|Shooting). 

The word “Wax” (or #Waxy #Waxpaper #Waxwing #Waxen #Waxed #Waxing #Waxes #Waxworks) is built on ancient words that mean "the |Substance Made by Bees" (slang for |Gramophone Records) or "to Increase."

Today, I watched Daystar's broadcast of the episode of Concepts of Faith where Charles Capps explained something that makes some Old Testament scriptures confusing---where it says 'God hardened Pharoah's heart' in some places, and 'Pharoah hardened his own heart' in others.

One explanation was 'the Hebrew-translation'--that the original English-translators didn't feel it necessary to explain the difference between 'God doing something (or making it happen)' and 'God letting someone do something'--but the other explanation 'flipped a light-switch' for me.

"Say you take a ball of wax," he said. "And a ball of soft clay. And you set them out in the Sun. Two different things will happen---the wax will soften & melt, and the clay will dry-up & harden. But does The Sun do anything different? No! It shines exactly the same on either one!

"The difference between the two results," he said, "is the material of the heart." (or maybe my mind was just projecting a message here) God shines down "equally on the just and the unjust"; and the believer's heart receives God's Light the right way (taking in the warmth, softening as needed, hardening when needed), and the non-believer's heart shuts it out.

And how you 'change your material'? Prayer.

And not just 'you and your friends giving praise & prayer-requests to Our Heavenly Father,' but also 'carefully watching and listening for his call ... perhaps realizing that people's prayers were always actually a response to his requests to us!'
