But, I have since found the above mentioned verse that confirms my thoughts on whether what I heard from God was a parable or not.Do you not love how God confirms what He needs and wants from you? In my early walk with God, I had, so many times wondered at if I was truly hearing Him or not. But, sure enough He would confirm my doubts and I would have a sure foundation to walk on.Now, I know for sure that I am hearing God and need no confirmation, although, at times I still get the confirmation. This past Sunday, at church, I was asking God to speak to me about going back to the farm. I wanted to make sure that I was doing the write thing. So, I asked to hear His voice. ...

Allegories & parables which point to spiritual deliverance
2007-12-18 20:20:00 An allegory is a story that has two levels of meaning: the obvious, literal one and an underlying symbolic, figurative meaning. Both levels are important, but those with wisdom are able to see what is presented and hear the message. Why did Jesus use them? In Matthew 13, the disciples asked this same question of Jesus in verse 10. He answered, “The knowledge of the secrets of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. This is why I speak in parables, ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand’” (Mat. 13:11,13).The literal story of Abraham tells of the 'chosen race' oppressed and in slavery to an evil ruler in a foreign country (a land not their own).A man with a calling is chosen by God to order the wicked Pharoah to release the Israelites (Children of God). They follow Moses through the desert of Sin (Ex 17:1), on their way "up" to the promised Land (The Kingdom of Heaven). Unfortunately, half-way there, they start to rebel agains...

Sri Ramakrishna Author of Great Parables
2007-12-07 11:51:00 The video is about Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsha a greatSaint and a great narrator of Parables. Sri Ramakirhna used parables to give spiritual insights and understanding, much like Gautam Buddha and Jesus Christ did. As stated in the video, parables illustrates religious and spiritual teachings in a simple way. The parables can give a good impact on the mind and easy to remember.It could be hard to grasp that the great teacher, who transformed so many lives and minds, was uneducated. The parables he used came from his high spiritual state of mind rater than read and learned or gathered information. Most of His parables comes from Indian village life and Indian Spiritual understanding. The Westerners sometimes find it difficult visualizing these parables. Aldous Huxley, while writing a foreword to "Gospel Of Sri Ramakrishna", a great book having the qualities written about Sri SaiSatCharitra, wrote that the feelings and experience are entirely Indian.
