Living by sight
and not by faith causes failure both in trusting
God and in God trusting
us.
How can we be sure heretofore
unseen future joys are attained:.2Corinthians
5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
These are grasped
only by the diligent.
Reading the topic Creation,
By Evolution Or God? will definitely
increase your faith in Him who created all:.Ephesians
3:9 "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created
all things by Emmanuel the Christ."
This will bring forth more
of God's Holy Spirit in you to affect your
heart. Once your heart is affected,
your
life changes:.Matthew
6:33 "But seek you first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you."
-We are here to make a noticeable
change or effect with
a compassionate heart.
In our actions toward this we develop the same love that Christ had:.Ephesians
3:19 "And to know the love
of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all
the fulness of God.".Have
you ever asked yourself what you could do this day that might make a positive
difference in another's life?
-We are here to encourage
others, to let the light of Emmanuel
the Christ in us shine to others in helpful good works:.Matthew
5:16;
John 13:35. Add what you
can to benefit the lives of others.
-We are here to learn to
live by grace.
-We are here to develop the
important quality of patience.
-We are here to become
complete
in Christ.(Colossians
2:6,10).through
various trials and tribulations.(Philippians
1:6).needed
for qualities of
eternal character and all that we will
then be doing. But, it is exciting when you realize to the best of
your ability, just how
big this living, powerful beyond all imagination, being is, that we call
God!
We are here to complete
what
is necessary to function at the same level of existence as the Infinite
One. It's a journey that begins within
a person:.Hebrews
12:28; Galatians 6:8. This journey
of spiritual growth can be accelerated.
How?.Isaiah
58:5-11. And why accelerate it?
"Raising the level of a
person's state of consciousness means that as this person grows, that is,
as he exceeds the level of the collective consciousness more and more,
he becomes submitted to less and less number of these 'objective laws'
and the less and less these 'objective laws' are able to affect him. Remember
nothing is fixed as something that represents a certain unchangeable given
(as it is in the ordinary consciousness realm). So, as a person grows spiritually
he exceeds the level of the collective consciousness more and more and
is less affected by the so called laws of this ordinary consciousness three
dimensional world. For example, if the collective consciousness is changed
say, in the respect of levitation, from what it now holds true about it
and that is, that the 'laws' of the universe are fixed, representing an
unchangeable system and levitation is then not possible, then once the
collective consciousness is changed it will cause the so-called
'law' itself to change from the ordinary consciousness beliefs people hold
to be true, to also change. Changing so called 'laws' in the direction
desirable man is using one's consciousness to control situations and events
for humanity's betterment. So, change is desirable. Orthodox.science
observes and then registers the laws they discover, seeing their purpose
as discovering existing regularities and describing them. In this they
limit progress of humanity as they leave man out of the picture. Man is
a spiritual being with unlimited potential as he was created by an unlimited
being." ...from page 98 of Grigori
Grabovoi's book.
We are here to become malleable
enough to allow the Master Potter.(Romans
9:21;
Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah
18:4,6; Lamentations 4:2; Ephesians
2:10; Philippians 1:6; 1Thessalonians
3:13.{how
does He establish our hearts?}).to
thoroughly shape us, so that we become 'fit
in the Lord' as this book of extreme high consciousness called the
Bible details:.Galatians
4:19 "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ
be formed in you." 2Corinthians
3:3 "Forasmuch as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle.(letter).of
Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the
living God, not in tables of stone but in fleshy tables of the heart."
Ephesians
2:10. Fruit has to ripen on the tree before it's at its optimum
and ready for the next stage - eating. Spiritual growth transpires when
you use the spirit supply you came with and ask for more, so you can better
change the information and energy of the maker of problems, your ego level.
You want to change low vibratory energy into higher functions at spiritual
levels. And so, your expression of spirit increases:.Colossians
2:19.
So what
does all this religious sounding stuff mean?
-We are here to
become
of greater value to others in order to serve
and help others:.Jeremiah
4:22 "For my people is foolish, they have not known me. They are sottish.(stupid,
foolish).children
and they have none understanding.
They are wise to do evil,
but to do good they have no knowledge.".When
you give up control to another, be it another person, church and even government,
you lose your value. Unfortunately, when you feel the pressure to be 'understanding'
- standing under this 'other', you can be sure they are not out to enhance
you and are therefore not acting in love.
-We are here to put good
things in other's hearts,
as
best we know how to and as others may accept:.Titus
3:8.
No matter how poor you may
be, you always have something to give if your heart is to help. Prayer
is a most powerful way to help others and society. No one but God sees
your prayers:.Matthew
6:6; 1Timothy 5:5.
Selfish people would rather
spend time on silly time consuming pursuits for themselves than find out
the needs of and pray for another. Selfish people lack compassion.
-We are here to learn how
to interact with
others.
-We are here to express what
we want. For example, if one wants friends, he must express friendliness,
and so on with other things too:.Proverbs
18:24 "A man that has friends must show himself friendly. And there
is a friend that sticks closer than a brother."
Be to others what it is that
you want to be, but just do not be presumptuous.
It is the example of faith.(faith
with good works), love
and compassion, not the words of perhaps, disagreeable doctrines.(anyone
have religious people come to
their door?), that is important
in being a light to the world:.Romans
1:8; 14:16-18.
Proverbs
and Ecclesiastes
are great psychology books.
-We are here to
have fun.
Paul
knew psychology.of
living. He did not 'turn off' those he met. When talking to a group of
pantheists,
Paul used psychology with them and
in other places too:.2Timothy
2:22,23. When need be Paul also had the wisdom to stand up for himself:.Acts
17:19-25; 22:22-29; 23:1-5;
23:27-34.
As also did this persistent widow:.Luke
18:1-8.
But, here he found a way
to tell others about the true Creator by appealing
to their interests.(Acts
17:23).and
finding common ground for agreement.(1Corinthians
9:19-22), rather than inciting.negative
emotions.
When dealing with a mixed
group believing alternate things, Paul knew how to at least get half of
them on his side. Paul would analyze a situation before committing himself
to it:.Acts
23:6-9.
Paul
was intelligent. He knew the Old
Testament well. In it is the Book
of Proverbs, probably the greatest psychological book ever written.
Emmanuel
also was in favour with men:.Luke
2:52.
Others lacked
this, 1) 2).
