Until now, I have been discussing things you can do to change
your life for the better by changing your attitude, your actions
and reactions to situations, which can greatly effect your
health and well being.
It would be impossible to have a life filled with all the good
things you want if your mind was clouded with anger,
resentment, anxiety, hatred, bitterness, frustration, negativity,
which is the purpose for the previous steps explained to rid
yourself of these things.
Although you, on your own can make tremendous strides in
your life if you work the steps previously discussed, but you
need to gain an understanding of the overall scope of life and
life’s energy.
So far, I have only been discussing the physical realm in which
our bodies dwell, however our entire world is energy.
Throughout our universe, there is a river of Life that flows
through and sustains all things. This energy is Gods energy,
spiritual energy.
We are always connected to it, and we have the ability to be
completely filled with it. It is your choice. He gave you FREE
WILL. He will assist you in having a wonderful life.
Notice I said assist ? That is why I started this discussion by
showing you things you could do to improve your life, mainly
through changing YOUR mind. God WILL change you and your
life, but He won’t take responsibility for it. It requires some
effort on your part, however, even faith the size of a mustard
seed can cause miraculous changes.
Although you may make some changes that greatly benefit
your life, true happiness begins when you include God in your
daily life.
While it is true that Gods energy, which is essentially spiritual
in nature, is part of everyone’s life. It is possible to go through
this life without ever having a real relationship with God. He
wants everyone to be part of His Family, He does not force it
on us. He waits with open arms to bring us into His Light and
Love. If we never have a close relationship with God, it is OUR
eternal loss.
Knowing that Man’s heart is not spiritual in nature, and
seldom chooses Gods way, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, in
the physical to set a perfect example for the world, and
ultimately giving His life as the eternal sacrifice for all
mankind. Through the Blood of Jesus, repentance, and
acceptance of Him, we are forgiven of our sins.
We must, through Gods Holy Spirit, come to believe that Jesus
lived for us, died for us, and rose again. We must honestly look
at ourself, our life and see our sin. ALL people have sinned.
We must then Repent of our sin, which is to truly make a
decision within ourselves to turn away from sin, ask God for
forgiveness, ask God to come into our life and accept His gift
of salvation and the Holy Spirit. We will become part of his
family and shall have eternal life. Although not widely
preached, this gift of God is not dependent on your works, but
is part of Gods grace.
If we genuinely Repent, and ask God to come into our hearts
and reveal His Spirit to us, his spirit will come into us, and he
will show us the way.
God is building his eternal family to be part of His Coming
Kingdom that He will establish on this earth, and many are
being called by Gods spirit to be part of it.
The Bible says that upon belief, repentance and acceptance of
God, that we should have a Baptism by immersion. It also tells
us that if we want to keep a relationship with God we should
keep His *Commandments. If we truly love Him, we will want
to.
While on this earth, God wants man to have a wonderful life,
not just an endurance. He gives us power to endure,
overcome problems and flourish.
God does not carry us through life, but is always there for us,
and gives us the tools to have the life we desire. God wants us
to have the truly happy and fulfilled life we can have by a
relationship with Him.
He is the rock, never changing, always there for you.
*Commandments - Although there are 10 Commandments,
Jesus said there are essentially two for man to follow. Love
God above all things, and love your fellow man as much as
you love yourself. Of course these two encompass the ten.
