On Being in Love With God II

What does it mean to ‘be in love with God’? From what I see in the Bible and the life of Jesus Himself, to love God is to live and walk as Jesus did, in an obedience that comes from faith and from the heart. Not an external repression by a legalistic moral code or fearfilled compliance, but the result of a deep and intimate knowing of He Who IS love, righteousness, holiness and truth. Nothing else will do.

Can There Be Preparedness in Meeting the Afterlife? A Spiritual Exploration

It is good to apply ourselves to the issue of afterlife because it helps to bring about a natural orderliness in our present life on earth. In that direction, messages from Near Death Experiences can be of great help.

The Hard Stance on Morality

We will never see America become a Christian nation again until the day the church takes absolutely no stance on morality as it applies to the outside world. When the world sees that the church absolutely does not care who you are, where you’re from, what terrible things you’ve done, then and only then will we see revival. At that point the church will realize the most powerful and important thing we can do is love the lost with our actions, not our words and our judgments.

Morality and the Real Enemy

Morality is a road block to Christians living in the will of God. Many, if not most, people center their faith on the morals of their religion and focus their efforts on minimizing their sins. This mindset is the worst thing for the Christian Community. We need to break this mindset and move on to building His kingdom!

Twelve Days of Christmas – Day One – Jesus

ON THE FIRST day of Christmas my True Love sent to me a partridge in a pear tree. That partridge is Jesus of the Nativity, and the pear tree is seen either as an allusion to the Nativity or to his cross. I’ll focus on the latter image.

Spirituality Is a Personal Choice

Choosing to walk the spiritual path is a very personal decision. It is a decision that only you can make. No one can, nor do they have the right to, compel you to make this choice. It is a personal matter – a personal choice.

The Gift Within the Experience of Emotional Pain During the Holidays

How many of us experience the pain of loss, loneliness, and sadness as the festive season builds all around us? We are flooded with pictures that portray the excitement and anticipation of the perfect Christmas, the perfect family get-togethers, and the perfect holiday season. Each picture projects images of loving families, perfect gifts, and an abundance of happiness and togetherness. And each picture feels like one more stab in the heart of people who are grieving, recovering from traumas that kicked their feet out from under them, or experiencing a seemingly less-than-picture-perfect physical reality.

Signs of the Saved – Story of the Second Chance

On August 2, 2005, Air France Flight 358 left Paris with 297 passengers and 12 crew on board and was confronted by a raging thunderstorm as it prepared to land at Toronto International Airport, Canada. The plane lost control, slewed off the runway, and came to rest in a small ravine 300 metres away. As it crashed, the left engine caught fire and passengers and crew had only seconds to escape. Amazingly, nobody died. One of the survivors spoke for many when he said, “We felt as if we should have died that afternoon; we felt we’d been saved to live a life of a second chance; we felt we were now to live lives that would give our lives away in compassion.”

Alignment – Guilt and Shame Are Stories of the Past

It never ceases to amaze me just how much guilt and shame float in and around us in any given moment. No matter how long you’ve been on your path of inner-reflection, healing and letting go of anything and anyone who no longer resonates vibrationally, there seems to be that occasional thought about “what will they say about me and my dreams and goals?”

Nehemiah Commentary

Nemiah is a fascinating book about an incredibly devoted man and about a nation finally on the upswing. Leading up to Nehemiah, the Israelites have been through one disaster after another, more or less being scattered across the lands. Nehemiah’s heart was broken for his people and their fall from God’s favor. Nehemiah didn’t settle in despair though. Rather, his sadness fueled a beautiful vision of a united Israel and a rebuilt Jerusalem. Nehemiah devotes himself wholly to God, and through his strength, he unites and rebuilds a nation. Nehemiah is such an awesome example of what can be accomplished through faith, and how rock steady God is as our support. Nehemiah faced every obstacle possible, but he never gave up hope or faith in God. After reading Nehemiah, I hope that you can walk away with a better understanding of how steadfast God’s support and love for us is. If we can be like Nehemiah, stay close to God through every obstacle, then we can truly see nations transformed!

The Bible States We Reincarnate Seven Times

The spiritual people of God are outnumbered many to one as the world comes to its last days. The plan is outlined in the Old Testament prophecies but the religious elders altered the nature of God to suit their purposes and few now understand them.

Facing My Shadow and Casting It For the Glory of God’s Kingdom

TRANSPARENCY is an important concept in the Kingdom, for without transparency we don’t have trust, and if there’s no trust there’s no relationship, and if there’s no relationship there’s no community, and nothing can be changed for the Kingdom of God without community. So, if we’re to be ‘community’ we must first have established transparency within ourselves, that is also ‘projected’ out into our world, in order to build trust and relationship.
