In New York, it's true that QP's win the most jackpots. Do you play strictly QP's? If so, why?
I sometimes play QP's but mainly play my own because I would like the feeling that I won with a little skill than a lotta luck...but I'll take a little luck anyday!!

I will take your advice about the self beating up; I do on a regular Basis; Just Don't want any surprices on That Day
YESHUA HAMESSIAH Said many will come on that day and they are going to hear some not so good news!!! I Don't want to be among those who take HIS Grace and MERCY for GRanted!!!
But on your take on the QP, I am going to have to Disagree with the Quick Pick thing.
Vision, Who gives the capacity to formulate thoughts and Ideas, is it not HIM so how could any one be arrogant and foolish enough to take Credit for something that is not theirs in the first place!!!
The Brain was not an idea of ours...LOL...LOL... As I sit her typing on this key board I marvel how HE allows me to fly through these set of letters with such ease and almost effortless! can I dear take Credit for even this???!!! NO!!! Absolutely NOT!!
You winning with QP's or by collecting number data you have to use the braain HE gave! so all will ALWAYS BE to HIS credit! Not yours or mine! That Much I am clear on!!
On all the other eye-opening things you said, I will meditate on and I will say thanks for this, So Thank you Vission, you are a great person!
as far as "numbers", etc.......and the use thereof towards lottery pursuits, i still think because it's a random event, no amount of "manipulation" of them by man can produce a better "edge" than any other method.
that being said, i know Gods character enough to realize He institutes different individualized methodologies for each person to whom He deals His "cards" out to, in different arenas in life, so long as it is not contradictory to His word on the subject matter, which can include the "possibility" of even giving someone "numbers".
He has done this in history, and so i know from that, it is a "possibility".
however, i must issue extreme caution that believers are sometimes famous for......and that's for jumping on someone else's "bandwagon". what i mean by that is that when people become desperate, they think that God "owes them" the same thing He has done for john or sally down the street, and that is entirely not true.
what God does in "john & sally's" life has nothing to do with anyone else BUT john and sally.
if God uses some methodology to mold certain aspects of a persons life, that's "customized", and strictly tailored solely to each individual. it is never a "one size applies to all" deal.
so when i state "He could"......as far as giving persons numbers that will enable aspects of their lottery play in the positive column, it is not something anyone better count on as if it is thier "right"?
besides, you see people lining up to "win the lottery". millions of people actually.
how many people do you see lining up to be the next "mother teresa"?
i am talking to believers, so "unbelievers" can change the channel if you want......but it is God that deals the "cards" out in a believers life. up OR down.
if it happens to be "up", thank Him. but thank Him just as well when things aren't "up".
adjust to wherever He takes you, and never relegate yourself to any "methodology", as if THAT'S your "answer"........because then THAT will become your "god"
again, i play 1 QP on purpose, because the last thing i want attached to my name is the notion it came by some "methodology", because someone else will ride off into false hope land thinking that what happened to me, is supposed to happen to them.

i almost missed this, and this is a million times more important than ANY amount of money.
this is a simple ancedote i tell people when i see them doing this, and that is...
how can you possibly hold yourself up to some level of "perfection", that even God Himself does not require of you, especially in light of the fact that He even knows your heart, better than you could possibly ever know it yourself?
it's a ploy to steal your joy, because there will never be a time in your life where the works of your life EVER surpass what God has already done.
Christ's last words before He passed weren't "it's not quite finished, because I left some of it for you to finish". He said......"it is FINISHED"
collectively, everyday, you need to re-train your mind to see yourself as Christ see's you.....a finished work BY Him.
done. not "someday". today. done. not what up and down emotions tell you, but what truth tells you. done
if you know that in your heart, your life will be free, because then you realize you are gonna fall, but it's ok.........God doesn't look for perfection anyway, He looks for consistent "intent".
you have that in SPADES
just relax jrosina, and enjoy the rest of your life

Vission, I agree on all points exept the Quick Pick, When Laban was robing Jacob of his labor he presented Him with an offer and said all the speckeled Flocks of cattle goats dark sheeps, will be Jacob's, Jacob did not sit down or stood up for that matter and said :oh, if I'm ment to get speckled I will get Speckeld No!
he used his brain and knowledge given to him BY GOD and caused the desired result in the flocks Geneis:30:28-34
And there are countles Example of situations where men and women of GOD received HELP from HIM in their daily lives and HE ALWAYS GOT THE HONOR AND THE GLORY too many examples to show us that ALMIGHTY GOD is no respector of persons "According to HIS word I move in Faith in ALL I do! So no QPs for me! and HE ALWAYS get the GLORY HE WILL not have it any other way!!

VISION, or should I say Houston we have a problem! MAtthew 7:23 Galatians 6:7 1-John 2:1-5
You do now that those that where been spoken to in that manner where Believers...The Believers who believed that they had it together and relaxex in that beliefe...
HE said that I must grow in perfection...HIS word said Anger rests in the Busom of Fools, I must removed all that contaminates my Walk with HIM!! HE said Be not deceived GOD is not mocked for whatever a man/woman sow That shall he/she also reap..
No where does HE say just consider yourself a finished work!!
IT is Finished:
IS the end of any Sacrificial ritual for my sins, I no Longer have to go and take a goat or a lamb or a pigeon or any kind of animal to the Pastor so he can sacrifice it for any sin I have committed, YESHUA HAMESSIAH'S Blood took care of that for me and all unbelievers and sinners so they can come to repentance and accept that GIFT and no longer have to Atone, and HE said go and SIN no more...HE did not say "ok, continue and consider your self a finsh work"..
1:John 2:1-5 My dear children I write these things to you so you do not SIN but IF you sin you have an Advocate a (Lawyer) with THE FATHER who is JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS: 2:and the propiatiation (subtitute ) for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world
3: and hereby we know that we know HIM if we keep HIS commandments 4: he that saith I know HIM and keepeth not HIS commaandments is a liar and the truth is not in him. 5: But whoseever keepeth HIS word in him truly is the Love OF GOD perfected; hereby we know that we are in HIM 6: he that say HE abides in him, must himself also to walk even as HE walked
No where do I seeI must consider myself a finish product!! No Vision, we must GET RID OF ALL THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HIM in us!
When HEtells me"well done you good and faithful servant enter into my rest", then I will relax... but for now this is war...not with you,not with my family athome or at The Lottery Post or any other place...this is a personal war with Me The old Jrosina must be gone, die,once and for all and If I see or smell wiff of her anywhere in my nose or my sight she is going down!!!
YES!! It is finished yes the battle is over there is no more war between ALMIGHTY GOD and myself, YESHUA IS THE LORD of my life, for I strife towards the high mark of HIS calling, in my life which is no longer my life but HIS!!!
It's like that for me Vission!!! Where sin abound grace did much more abound is in reference to the world! GOD forbid that I should continue in sin and call myself a finished work!!! The Pharisees did that!

(Scarecrow)
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
(Scarecrow)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

i "thunk" you kinda misunderstood what i was trying to imply.
i totally agree that we don't "relax" per se, as we need to show Him our appreciation for what He has done on our behalf thru our obedience. obedience is sometimes "work". it takes no discipline to do/say whatever comes to mind.
and that can at times be a "struggle" for everyone, because we are in-perfect beings, while attempting to adjust to the standards of a Holy God, and striving for a healthy spirtitual balance
i wasn't implying a lazy take-it-for-granted "grace", i was merely stating a biblical fact that you certianly don't beat yourself up over your "imppppppppppppperfections" either.
what i mean't by "just relax", is that one can get so caught up in "being", it strips them of a vibrant life, a life that has the ability to give away what you have. we can get so caught up in it, we can't give, and we were created to give it all away.
'sometimes', those thoughts "that i have to" become so overwhelming, that it paralyzes a person almost.
i whole heartedly agree with you, that you push to live a life well pleasing to God, but enjoy the ride too, with injecting a good perspective on where you already are in Christ, not so much "where you will be then" when you are with Him
today is what matters to God most, and your effectiveness thereof.
borrow too much from "tomorrow", and that will render you ineffective for today.
