We need to understand that there is a spiritual warfare going on every moment of the day. Hence, we need to be spiritual warfare warriors and encourage others to do the same. We need to read the Word of God ourselves and not to depend on others to read for us because so we do not miss out His blessings (eternal life, peace, joy) by being obedient children of God:-
Revelation 22:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
John 15:4-11 King James Version (KJV)
(As spoken by Jesus Christ:-)
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 14:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
1) INTRODUCTION:-
In this page, we have added our 3m 24s video to show how we conduct the DAILY DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY (S.O.A.P Method) – Live session on IMVU.
We do praise and worship, pray, read the Word of God, discuss, share our points and encourage each other. Here, God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit is our teacher. We refer to only one book, The Word of God (The Holy Bible) because it is the lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!
We love you and we want to encourage you to read the WORD OF GOD daily.

The Bible Scripture below shows that Satan knows the Bible Scripture too so he can try to confuse us. Therefore we need to know the Word of God extremely well so we know how to counter the tricks and attacks from him. He will always try to steal, kill and destroy us if we are do not know the Word of God well enough. See the Scripture below of how Satan tried to confuse and deceive:-
Matthew 4:1-10 (English Standard Version):-
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But He answered, “It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “He will command his angels concerning you, and On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.”

7. How to download and install IMVU (Classic version) on your computer or laptop and register a new account?
(NOTE: IMVU works best with a Windows based operating system with a minimum of 4GB of computer RAM.)
VERY IMPORTANT: Please do not install the wrong version. We recommend the CLASSIC VERSION so you can hear the music and more user friendly.
Step #1: Go to https://www.imvu.com/download.php
Step #2: Click on the link on the second line that says ‘546.2: Windows Installer (38,010KB)’ to download the IMVU CLASSIC version exe file (InstallIMVU_544.16.exe) and remember where you saved the file. See the picture below:-
Step #3: Go back to the folder that you have saved the exe file and then double click on it to install it. An IMVU shortcut icon will appear on your desktop once installation is completed.
Step #4: After installation, double click on the IMVU shortcut icon on your desktop to open the Login window. See the picture below:-
Step #5: Click on ‘New? Click here to register.’ You do not have to register under your real name. Nicknames are allowed. Please use your real birthdate, month and year.
(NOTE: When creating your 3D model of yourself, you do not have to worry much about the the look and the clothing / outfits. Reason being, you can change it by getting all sorts of items (examples: hair, eyes, eyebrows, head, skin, shirt, dress, suit, gowns and etc. in the Shop later on.)
See the picture below (Login window):-
Step #6: When logging in, you can type just your nickname. You do not have to type your email address.
Step #7: When you want to log out, we recommend you to do clearing of cache instead of clicking on ‘Sign Out’ directly at the top right. Do this every time as a good habit when you want to log out. Reason being, your cache will accumulate a lot of things and will develop cache congestion in the future which leads to cache memory disruptions on IMVU if you do not clear your IMVU cache daily.
Home > Settings > Advanced > Clear IMVU cache and restart client
After clicking the ‘Clear IMVU cache and restart client’, leave it to do its work. Please wait. Once done, the Login will re-appear. You can then close the login window.
