I am a Disciple Of Jesus Christ

What The World Knows.

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, although the quest for the historical Jesus has yielded some uncertainty on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the Jesus portrayed in the Bible reflects the historical Jesus, as the only records of Jesus' life are contained in the Gospels. Jesus was a Galilean Jew, who was baptised by John the Baptist and began his own ministry. He preached orally and was often referred to as "rabbi". Jesus debated with fellow Jews on how to best follow God, engaged in healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. He was arrested and tried by the Jewish authorities, turned over to the Roman government, and crucified on the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect.[After His death, His followers believed He rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the early Church.

Christian doctrines include the fact that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary, performed miracles, founded the Christian Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where He will return. Commonly, Christians believe Jesus enables people to be reconciled to God. The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead either before or after their bodily resurrection, an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three persons of the Trinity. A small minority of Christian denominations reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. The birth of Jesus is celebrated annually on December 25 as Christmas. His crucifixion is honoured on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. The widely used calendar era "AD", from the Latin anno Domini ("year of the Lord"), and the equivalent alternative "CE", are based on the approximate birth date of Jesus.

RAHAB: HARLOT, LIAR... ANCESTOR OF JESUS?

"Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab"
(Matthew 1:5).

Many first-time Bible readers are surprised to learn that the New Testament begins with a genealogy (Matthew 1:1-16), Jesus’ family tree. Those same readers are even more surprised when Rahab shows up on the list.

Most of us know about her. She is almost always mentioned by in the Bible as “Rahab the harlot." But that’s not all. Rahab was also a Canaanite-who were the hated enemies of Israel. Her most exemplary deed was telling a lie. Think about that. A Harlot, a Canaanite and a liar. You wouldn’t think she would have much chance of making the list, but there she is.

You can read about Rahab in Joshua 2 and Joshua 6....

It’s a great story with many lessons, but we mustn’t miss the point that Rahab was a harlot. That was her “trade.” The men hid there because people would be accustomed to seeing strangers come and go at all hours of the night. We also can’t deny the fact that Rahab told a bald-faced lie. Is there anything good we can say about her? Yes! She was a woman of faith. You don’t have to take my word for it. Hebrews 11:31 says, “By faith Rahab ...” She was a believer!

Many people are intimidated by Jesus Christ. They hook him up with a lot of religious paraphernalia-big sanctuaries, stained glass, beautiful choir, pipe organs, formal prayers, and all the rest. When they look at the trappings, it’s all very intimidating to them. To many in the world today, Jesus seems too good to be true.

This genealogy is in the Bible to let us know that he had a background a lot like yours and mine. He called himself “the friend of sinners,” and he said he didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. He said, “The Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.” (Luke 19:10)

The same grace that Rahab experienced is now available to you. I invite you in Jesus’ name to come and be forgiven. He’s already made the first move. The next step is up to you.

WHY DID GOD SEND JESUS?

The Bible teaches that the Father sent the Son into the world

(John 5:37; John 6:44, 57; John 8:16, 18; John 12:49; John 20:21;)
Also (Galatians 4:4; 1 John 4:14). In other words, God sent Jesus. The Bible also tells us why God sent Jesus into the world—reasons that redound to His glory and our eternal benefit. We will look at four of the reasons God sent Jesus:

Why God Sent Jesus: To Reveal the Father

In creation, we learn some things about the Creator, such as “his eternal power and divine nature” (Romans 1:20). But what is God really like? Is it possible to know Him personally?

In the Old Testament, God began to reveal Himself as the Creator, Lawgiver, Judge, and Redeemer of His people. And then came Jesus (Hebrews 1:1–2). Jesus revealed God in a way that really caught our attention.

Without Jesus, we would not be able to see God. “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known” (John 1:18). Jesus is, in fact, “the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence” (Hebrews 1:3, AMP). That is, if you’ve seen Jesus, you’ve seen the Father (John 14:9).

Without Jesus, we would doubt God’s love. But in the works that He did and the death that He died, Jesus revealed God’s love (Luke 7:12–13; Romans 5:8). Without Jesus, we would question God’s goodness and care. But Jesus revealed God’s knowledge of our needs and His desire to meet them (Matthew 6:8). Without Jesus, we might consider God unfair. But in His interactions with people of all backgrounds, Jesus revealed God’s impartiality.

Without Jesus, we would be forever fatherless. But Jesus showed us that we can approach God as a child approaches his or her father (see Matthew 6:9). There’s a relationship not just based on creation, the law, or judgment; there is a family relationship (see Matthew 12:49–50). As J. I. Packer wrote, “If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God’s child, and having God as his Father. . . . Everything that Christ taught . . . is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. Father is the Christian name for God” (Knowing God, InterVarsity Press, 1973, p. 201).

Jesus spoke God’s words, thought God’s thoughts, felt and expressed God’s emotions, and did God’s works. God sent Jesus into the world to reveal the Father to us.

WHY GOD SENT JESUS: TO DO AWAY WITH SIN.

Hebrews 9:26 says, “He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”

The sacrifices of the old Levitical system were insufficient to take away sin. But Jesus offered the perfect sacrifice, once for all time. With the shedding of His blood on the cross, never again would animals need to die as our substitute. When God sent Jesus into the world, the Son of God took on human flesh and provided a better sacrifice for sin and a better covenant with God’s people.

God sent Jesus not to deny the fact of sin or help us forget about our sin. Denials and cover-ups were not His purpose. God wanted to do away with sin once and for all. In Christ, God forgave sin and released us from its penalty. Through faith in the Son, we have full deliverance from guilt. Not only that, but we have deliverance from the hold of sin itself, true salvation, and real peace with God. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

Our religious actions cannot put away sin. Neither can feeling sorry, practicing self-denial, or holy living. Not even our death can get rid of sin. Sin is a blot on our soul, a stain in the fabric of our being that can only be washed away by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Jesus alone can put away our sin (1 Peter 2:24). It’s one of the reasons God sent Him.

WHY GOD SENT JESUS: TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL

Another biblical reason that God sent Jesus into the world is spelled out in:

1 John 3:8: “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”
It was a divine mission, executed with the precision of a well-planned military strike. Two thousand years ago, the Son of God landed on foreign soil, behind enemy lines, with a mission to demolish something, and He succeeded in His objective. He wrecked all that the devil had been doing.

The devil has been working to build a kingdom for himself, and Jesus came to dissolve the framework, making everything Satan has ever done a worthless waste of time. The devil had made his sand castle, and Jesus was the tide.

The devil’s works that Jesus destroyed include deception (Jesus is the Truth); sin (Jesus is our Righteousness); and death (Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life).

Jesus accomplished His wrecking of Satan’s work by the fact of His holiness
(Matthew 4:1–11; John 14:30), the excellence of His sacrifice:
(John 12:31; Colossians 2:15; Hebrews 2:14–15; 1 John 2:2), and the action of His grace (Ephesians 2:1; Colossians 3:4; Romans 16:20).

The devil had a plan for Lazarus, and it did not involve his being resurrected from the dead (John 11). The devil had a plan for Saul of Tarsus, and it did not include his becoming a missionary to the Gentiles (Acts 9). The devil had a plan for the Philippian jailer, and it did not include living through the night and being saved and baptized with his entire family (Acts 16). Satan’s plans have gone awry, and they will continue to as God’s will is accomplished in and through us. As for the devil’s future, he will eventually be sent to the place of torture he dreads:

(Matthew 8:28–29; Revelation 20:10).

WHY GOD SENT JESUS: TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF A HOLY LIFE.

In the context of suffering for righteousness’ sake, Peter tells us that Christ has left us “an example, that [we] should follow in His steps” (1 Peter 2:21).

All those who follow Christ:
Ought to conduct themselves just as Jesus conducted Himself (1 John 2:6).

We are to be holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:16), and Jesus is our example.

Jesus handled temptation, and He did so without sin (Luke 4:1–13; Hebrews 4:15). Jesus lived blamelessly, being holy in word (John 8:45–46) and holy in deed

(1 Peter 2:22; Hebrews 7:26). Jesus nurtured a prayer life (Luke 5:16), and He relied on the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1, 14).

God sent Jesus into the world, and we praise Him for it.

We are eternally grateful to our Lord who, at the end of His ministry, was able to look to heaven and say, “I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do” (John 17:4). Mission accomplished.

IS JESUS GOD?

Some who deny that Jesus is God make the claim that Jesus never said that He is God. It is correct that the Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” This does not mean, however, that Jesus never claimed to be God.

Is Jesus God? — Jesus claimed to be God.

Take for example the words of Jesus in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33, emphasis added). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!” This is a reference back to Exodus 3:14 when God revealed Himself as the “I AM.” The Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).

Is Jesus God? — His followers declared Him to be God.

John reiterates the concept of Jesus’ deity: “The Word [Jesus] was God” and “the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, “Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.” Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. And this same verse declares that God purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God.

Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But about the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The Father refers to Jesus as God, indicating that Jesus is indeed God.

In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship God

(Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship:
(Matthew 2:11; Matthew 14:33; Matthew 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38).
He never rebukes people for worshipping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation did. Beyond these, there are many other passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus being God.

THE REASON JESUS MUST BE GOD.

The most important reason that Jesus must be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2 ESV). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world
For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death.

IS JESUS GOD? YES!

• Jesus declared Himself to be God.

• His followers believed Him to be God.

• The provision of salvation only works if Jesus is God.

Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega:

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
(Revelation 1:17-18 ESV) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." (Revelation 22:13 ESV), and God our Saviour
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: (2 Peter 1:1 ESV).

Welcome to 2021

 Its is another year

My prayer is that we all have a better year in 2021. 

Still, no matter how positive you’re feeling at this moment,
 experts suggest that the negative feelings and experiences associated with
 prolonged isolation will come for us all. 

Humans being social creatures—Especially us Christians, 

keeping away from each other, is difficult at best, and highly traumatizing: 
Even if we put on that Brave Mask.. 

While the corona virus pandemic is an extreme, largely unprecedented moment,
the kind of seclusion that’s been eating at people over the last few months
is not as uncommon an experience as you might imagine. 

The impacts of social isolation on our bodies and minds have been traditionally:

Felt and studied in a variety of different groups, from astronauts to incarcerated people,
 to immune-compromised children, to Antarctic researchers to the elderly. 

John Vincent, A clinical psychologist at the University of Houston says:

“People start getting lethargic when they don’t have positive inputs into their small worlds,” 

Isolation of this type is sure to bring the two kissing cousins:

Depression and Anxiety a running...

The Christian Response

“I hear many whispering,
 ‘Terror on every side!’” (Psalm 31:13). 

In times of crisis we often find it easier to identify with the psalmist.
We, too, keep hearing of the “terror on every side,”
the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) now officially accepted as a pandemic.
The millions of viruses scattered by coughs and sneezes are enemies
“who pursue us,” stealing into our homes and lungs and making those they infect
“objects of dread” to our closest friends: “Those who see us on the street flee from us.”
But the psalmist would have us move past terror to say, “I trust in you, Lord …
 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies.”

One passage of Scripture to consider is Psalm 91,
which teaches how God takes care of His own.
Take time to read all 16 verses of this precious passage.
To summarize the psalm,
we are told that those who belong to God through faith in Jesus Christ dwell in
the inner sanctum of the presence of God, who protects them as
a mother hen cares for her young under her wings. 

The promise is that no evil shall befall them because God will keep them in all of their ways. 

Through God’s grace, love and mercy,
He will “set them on high” and show them his salvation that involves
the deliverance through whatever may come their way. 

This applies to COVID-19 and all other trials of life.

Martin Luther’s response ... Sorry! My Daddy was a Lutheran.

Vivian Nutton, the esteemed historian of medicine, writes that:
From the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, 

“A town would experience an epidemic of plague approximately every decade, 

and a serious devastation once in every generation.” 

Disease outbreaks were part of the rhythm of life. 

Those outbreaks caused by bubonic plague were particularly dreadful, 

boasting a fatality rate of 60–90 percent (for COVID-19, it is “only” 1–3 percent).

Martin Luther himself was no stranger to suffering. 

He endured the death of many of his family and friends, 

including some of his own children, and a plethora of personal ailments. 

Indeed, Hess had to write twice entreating Luther for his thoughts, 

because Luther was too ill to reply to the first letter.

Martin Luther’s letter to his friend and fellow pastor Johann Hess, 

in response to Hess’s question, 

“Whether it is proper for a Christian to run away from a deadly plague.” 

Luther himself was no stranger to suffering. 

He endured the death of many of his family and friends, including some of his own children, 

and a plethora of personal ailments.

Indeed, Hess had to write twice entreating Luther for his thoughts, 

because Luther was too ill to reply to the first letter.

In 1527, plague struck Wittenberg — the university town where Luther lived 

— prompting classes to be moved to an unaffected town. 

Yet Luther refused to leave.

He chose instead to venture his life on caring for the sick and dying and transformed 

his home into a makeshift hospital. 

So when Luther gave advice, he knew the consequences and the fear attending them.

For Luther, our loving God hiddenly but surely works for our good 

even in the places we do not expect, including amid the evil of deadly epidemics. 

The fear of bodily illness and death should drive us to pray and to care for our souls, 

remembering that this world is not our lasting home. 

An epidemic is one of many evils that beset us, and we have to take that seriously;

 but the greater evil is the evil within (Matthew 10:28, Luke 12:4). 

Therefore, responding to an epidemic or any other crisis must involve turning from our sins

 — chief of which is the selfish love that gives thought first to self, and only secondly, 

if we can assure our own health and safety, to others.

Luther regarded the epidemic as a temptation that tests and proves our faith and love: 

“our faith in that we may see and experience how we should act toward God; 

our love in that we may recognize how we should act toward our neighbor.” 

Through faith in God and out of love for neighbor, 

Christians must think first how to contribute to the physical and spiritual care of those 

who are vulnerable, self-isolated, sick, or dying. 

Only then did Luther permit Christians to make private decisions about whether to flee. 

In an era without widespread institutionalized healthcare, 

Luther wrote that Christians are under a divine obligation to fill the gap: 

“We must give hospital care and be nurses for one another in any extremity 

or risk the loss of salvation and the grace of God.”

With lives at risk, Luther encourages Christians to find solace in the promises of God. 

The devil tempts us to “horror and repugnance in the presence of a sick person.”

But striking a “blow against the devil is God’s mighty promise by which he encourages 

those who minister to the needy. 

He says in Psalm 41, ‘Blessed is he who considers the poor. 

The Lord will deliver him in the day of trouble’.” 

Therefore, “whoever serves the sick for the sake of God’s gracious promise … 

has the great assurance that he shall in turn be cared for. 

God himself shall be his attendant and his physician, too. 

What an attendant he is! What a physician!”

COVID-19 reminds us that lasting contentment, security and happiness is not to be found in 

the present world but in the world to come. 

As Augustine put it:

As ‘we are saved by hope’, so we are made happy by hope.
Neither our salvation nor our beatitude is here present, but ‘we wait for it’ in the future,
and we wait ‘with patience’, precisely because we are surrounded by evils which patience
must endure until we come to where all good things are sources of inexpressible happiness
and where there will be no longer anything to endure.
Such is to be our salvation in the hereafter, such our final blessedness.

Can God Use the Corona-virus for Good?

God can use the corona-virus for good because God is good.
Contrary to what some are saying, the corona-virus is not
The judgment of God for the sin of the world. Because of God’s great love for us,
Jesus bore not only the judgment of God for sin but also our sickness and disease.

Contrary to what some are saying;
The corona-virus is not the judgment of God for the sin of the world.

Because of God’s great love for us,
Jesus bore not only the judgment of God for sin but also our sickness and disease.

Bad things happen.
Jesus reminded us of that with his words:
“I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage
— I have conquered the world” (John 16:33).

Jesus knew trouble and suffering were already taking place.
Sickness and violence were part of humanity’s history.
But Jesus knew it was going to get worse and humanity had a choice to make.

Power of Choice

We see evil in the world because people make bad choices.
We see good when people make good choices. God uses both.

Joseph’s brothers made a bad choice by selling their brother into slavery.
Joseph chose to believe God was with him and leaned into his faith.
God took the awful thing his brothers did and not only saved the nation of Israel
but also many other nations as well. Joseph spoke about how God used the bad for good. 

“You intended to harm me,
but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”
(Genesis 50:20)

Faith Over Fear

First, as Christ-followers, we need to remember that our God is a
“refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble” (Palm. 46:1).
God has not given us a spirit of fear. We should not panic.
Our Heavenly Father is still the all-knowing, ever-present, omnipotent God.

Second, we need to pray for all those who have been infected, those who will be,
and for their families.
We need to pray for God to deliver the world from this menace to human health and well-being. We need to pray for wisdom, Guidance, and protection for our national, state and local leaders;
 as they seek to fulfill their oaths of office in protecting the citizenry.

Third, we need to take necessary precautions. Listen to the medical experts.
Be informed, sensitive, and wise in the way we approach this pandemic.

In fact, not to do so would be to commit the sin of presumption
(assuming the Holy Spirit will protect you when you disregard prudence and think
 since you are doing the Lord’s work, you can be exempt from sound medical advice). 

For example, if the authorities recommend no meetings of more than a hundred people,
is it presumption for churches to go ahead and have their services in person 

rather than streaming?  No That is disobedience to the Authorities and Ultimately to God.

Our Church has live streaming, if your Church does not, feel free to join us!

We'll be online at 8 am on these Sundays! [GMT+2]

Fourth, don’t do anything knowingly that would put anyone else at risk. 

Seek to help those who need help coping with the aftermath of having the virus or 

having been exposed to it. And during this whole process, as Christ-followers, 

we must always remember and have in our consciousness the Lord Jesus’ command to

“love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31) and 

“to do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Luke 6:31). 

Let’s all pray that when we look back on this crisis, 

That our fellow Christians will see this episode of our history as one that reflects:

credit on the Lord we serve as they see His work in us as we serve them.

More Ideas

Many of the best small business ideas for 2021 involve an online business model.

Choose a business idea that you are knowledgeable and passionate about.

Before starting a business, determine if there is a demand for what you want to provide.

Consultant

If you are knowledgeable and passionate about a specific topic (business, social media, marketing, human resources, leadership, communication, etc.), starting a consultant business can be a lucrative option. You can start your consulting business on your own, then grow your business and hire other consultants over time.

Online Clothes Reseller

Those passionate about clothing and/or sales may want to consider starting an online reseller business. Although it takes a lot of time and dedication – and an eye for fashion – this is a great idea that you can start as a side hustle and turn into a full-time resale business. 

Online teaching (Been advised by Sebastian to look into this)

The demand for online education has opened up a wide possibility for entrepreneurs to start their own ventures. Since this is an online business idea, you can choose any subject you are knowledgeable about and teach a course regardless of your location. If you don't have advanced knowledge in any particular subject, you can always consider teaching English as a foreign language online to students overseas.

Cleaning service (Clinton is doing this)

If you like to clean, you can easily turn it into a business. With a few staff members, a host of cleaning supplies and transportation, you can offer cleaning services to homeowners, apartment complexes and commercial properties. Most cleaning services charge between $25 and $50 per hour. Cleaning services are straightforward businesses that require relatively little overhead; you simply need planning, dedication and marketing to get your business noticed.

If you're looking to differentiate yourself from other cleaning services, consider adding premium options like floor waxing or exterior power washing for an additional fee. These services could be the deciding factor between your new cleaning service and seasoned companies that maintain too large a client list to provide that level of cleaning.

Freelance copywriter (One of my Interests)

If you're a natural wordsmith with a bit of marketing knowledge, you can establish yourself as a freelance copywriter. Whether you write blogs, web content or press releases, plenty of companies will pay for your services. You can increase your value by bringing SEO knowledge to the table to help your clients craft a strategy to attack specific keywords that their target audience is already using in their online searches. Most freelance copywriters charge $40 to $50 per hour, but those with expertise in a given vertical could charge even more.

Freelance copy-writing is a great business to run, because as long as you have an internet connection, you can work. It's a business that you can operate from the comfort of your own home, or even from the road if you travel. If you establish a large enough network and gain referrals from satisfied clients, you could even make freelance writing your full-time job.

Expanding an idea

‘Writing New Blog posts are important, as new posts are essential for online success.’

Lets put this differently:

‘Writing new Blog Posts, REGULARLY are essential for online success.’

It is of paramount importance to learn to write well, get the spelling right.
Ensure that the grammar is correct, but more important, does the thing say what it says? That is... is the article true to its intended meaning.

Techniques To Prevent Boredom.

Mental Boredom, or Writer’s Block is a common malady faced by all writers.
It can be over come by using variety, and multiple techniques.

Discover a style that works for you

There are as many writing styles as there are writers, if not more...
There are More!
There are probably two to three times as many writing styles than writers.
Most regular writers have more than one writing style and technique.

Following on, are the techniques I like to use.

Feel free to use it yourself, but most of all, if you do I encourage that you make it yours. Own it! Modify it! Add Your own spin to it.

Separate Writing from proof reading, formatting and type setting.

Method 1 -The Long Blast Writing Method
(My Own Term)

This method I use went I must create something in a hurry,
but I often mix it up too. 
I have used this technique from the early days of being online.

It involves just writing, without stopping. 
Write, write and write, do not stop, to check spelling, just write and write.

Stopping regularly makes writing a tedious matter, especially if you are facing a big deadline.

Stopping regularly also wastes time and breaks your though pattern, as you mess around fixing things

This is especially true for beginners (newbie writers).

Proof read afterwards, but never during, the actual writing process.
This is traditionally or rather academically called Free-Writing

Free-Writing

[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]

Free writing has traditionally been seen as a pre-writing technique in academic environments, in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without worrying about rhetorical concerns or conventions and mechanics, sometimes working from a specific prompt provided by a teacher.

While free writing often produces raw, or even unusable material, it can help writers overcome writing blocks and build confidence by allowing them to practice text-production phases of the writing process without fear of censure. Some writers even use the technique to collect initial thoughts and ideas on a topic, often as a preliminary to formal writing. 

History of Free Writing

Dorothea Brande was an early proponent of free-writing.
In her book Becoming a Writer (1934),
she advises readers to sit and write for 30 minutes every morning,
as fast as they can.

Peter Elbow advanced free-writing in his book Writing Without Teachers (1973), and it has been popularized by Julia Cameron through her book The Artist's Way (1992).

Method 2 - The Short Blast Writing Method 
 (My Own Term)

This is a method I use, when:

I must create something, that is almost picture perfect, right from the word go. 

I have used this technique since 2016.

It involves combining proof reading, formatting and type setting, as you write.

Basically this technique can be described like this:

Write a paragraph, stop, check spelling, check grammar, check formatting.

Write the next paragraph, stop, check spelling, check grammar, check formatting.

Method 3 - Make A List
(But Beware Of The Follow On Disadvantage)

Making a list of what you want to write about isn’t a bad starting point.

I have met up with a few of its limitations: 

The Follow On Disadvantage is that whatever word you write down, 

will determine the next word you write down, which in turn effects the next word you write down,

and so on, this can end up being tedious as well as distracting, but it is a technique being taught.

The Governed Structure Disadvantage once you have your list, it’s very difficult to change its order. 

So the entire structure effectively becomes governed by whatever word originally popped into your mind when you sat down to write.

Method 4 - Structured Writing

Structured writing is a form of technical writing that uses and creates structured documents.

The term was coined by Robert E. Horn and became a central part of his information mapping method of analysing, organizing, and displaying knowledge in print and in the new online presentation of text and graphics.

Horn and colleagues identified dozens of common documentation types, then analyzed them into structural components called information blocks. They identified over 200 common block types. These were assembled into information types using information maps.

The seven most common information types are: 

Concept, 

Procedure, 

Process, 

Principle, 

Fact, 

Structure, 

Classification,

That will be all, for today, I am rather tired, just spent the last 24 hours working.

So I am going to call it a wrap, I will however, continue this thread.
