Old Faith - New More Powerful Meaning

Faith is a powerful mindset that comes from spiritual growth, containing a feeling of confidence, assurance, high expectations and trust in the ability of the God in you to lead, guide and direct you to a happier, healthier and longer, wealthier, abundantly blessed and fulfilling life.

Faith Isn't Matter

Faith is all that matters. Conversely, it isn't matter, but causes mind over matter i.e. prayers to answered.

YOU MIGHT EVEN BECOME WORSE!

This is a powerful quote that I got out of a church bulletin that a friend gave me. I like the quote so much I've got it in the header of this blog.

"If you are content with what you are today, then you will never be any better than you are now, YOU MIGHT EVEN BECOME WORSE."

This Makes Life Much Sweeter

The spiritual rewards of self improvement and spiritual growth outweighs the material rewards but the combination of both makes life much sweeter. KEEP GROWING!

Better Thinking = A Better Life

If you are having problems and not getting the successful results that you want in each part of your life. It means that you are doing something wrong. Which in-turn means that you are thinking wrong. Like Einstein said "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." The better your thinking and beliefs get, the better your life will get, because your life results are the results of your thinking. In other words your life physically and literally is caused by the spiritual i.e.thoughts, beliefs and the soul. Correct your thoughts and beliefs and your life will correct likewise.

" The mark of a true master is one who can express a subject of the utmost complexity with uncanny simplicity."

Our Sin is Ignorance

"Our motive is fear, our sin is ignorance, and the chain in which we enslave our self is belief"

O Ye of Little Faith

It is not a question whether your soul i.e. the God in you, can heal you, prosper you, cause you to be debt free, create holistic happiness, comfort you, find your soul mate, keep you safe, free you from drugs or alcohol, free you from stress, cause you to be healthy and fit, prevent bad things from happening to you, create your dreams, create heaven in your life, or not. It is a fact. The question is DO YOU BELIEVE?

"It shall be done to you according to your faith." Mark 9:29

Nonprosperous Beliefs

If you are not prospering in all parts of your life, e.g. health, money, relationships etc., it is because of the beliefs in your heart and soul e.g. subconscious mind, for those parts that you are not prospering in are not prosperous beliefs.

Are You Ready to be Free?

If you want to live a fulfilled and abundantly blessed life with holistic success, happiness, good health, longevity, love and prosperity. First you must believe in unlimited potential i.e. God and Self. Then seek to understand God and the spiritual truth. Because, God is Life and God is Truth and God is Spirit, God is not a man. There is no other way to have the extraordinary life that you have the potential to have.

The Bible gives us some clues in Matt 6:33 when it says: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Also, in John 4:24 when it says: "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The world have conditioned us to think of God as a man, but Numbers 23:19 says: God is not a man ... The bottom line and the spiritual truth is that God is mind, spirit and soul and the better your understanding of the role of each, the more faith you have and the better your life becomes.

Now you understand the spiritual role you play in causing the blessings you want to come into your life. Now you live your life based on the spiritual e.g. law of cause and effect and the law of focus e.g. attraction instead of on the world's theology. Now you worship God in spirit and in truth inward instead of outward. Now you realize that your life and blessings are created from the inside out e.g. divine spirit within.

The Bible says in John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Now you know how to break FREE e.g. stress free, worry free, issue free, problem free, drama free, dis-ease free, debt free, financially free etc.

Now you can live happier, healthier, longer, abundantly blessed and fulfilled.

Dr. Martin Luther King stated it like this:" "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Are you ready to be free?; Or, are you too caught up in the tricks and traps of the world?

Romans 12:2 says: "And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind," Also this quote is not in the bible but is very profound: "be ye in the world, but not of the world".

"You Become What You Think About"

"You become what you think about." Meaning, that your beliefs (good, bad or indifferent), held in your mind long enough and strong enough become planted in your subconscious mind/soul, which transforms/creates the beliefs into reality e.g. emotionally, physically and financially.

Life is Not About What You Can See

There is more to life than what meets the eye and ear. Life is not about what you can see, but it is about what you can’t see i.e. God; everything else is relative.

Intentionally or Unintentionally?

We intentionally or unintentionally cause good and bad in our life.

Is Your God Religious or Spiritual?

Worldly (literal, religious or opinionated) based beliefs about God, Self and Life puts limits on your wisdom and power i.e. potential, and will causes you an unfulfilled life either spiritually (emotionally), and/or physically and/or financially.

However, Spiritual based (i.e. mind, spirit and soul) beliefs about God, Self and Life removes the limits and gives you full wisdom and power and will causes you a happier, healthier, more abundantly blessed and more fulfilling life.

Bible Clue: John 4:24 NIV

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

To Get You Have to Give-up

Blessings don’t just fall out of the sky without you doing
something to cause them. A few are bestowed upon you by the
grace of God without you doing anything, but the abundance
of blessings that God has in store for you has to be earned by
making sacrifices in your life. To get, you have to give (i.e. give up).

It's Either Your Master or Your Slave

Your subconscious mind is either your slave or your master. It will work for you or against you. If it is your master, you are it's slave. If you are it's master, it is your slave and will do whatever you ask of it. "Ask and you shall receive ..."

It's a Shame - Religions are Doing a Dis-service to the World

All religious paths e.g. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism etc., should be leading it's followers to the knowledge of the spiritual truth (e.g. knowledge of the working of the mind, spirit and soul) which causes total happiness and a abundantly blessed and fulfilled life. Unfortunately, for the worlds religions, the path to God stops in their religion e.g. outer world, and does not venture into the inner spiritual world where God and the real truth is found. It can be said that religions are not serving their purpose and is a dis-service to the people and the world. It can also be said that the people don't know or believe this, therefore is content with their life as is. They are afraid of the truth, therefore don't believe it and rebuke it.

Furthermore, it can be said that the religions are not leading people to God because God is truth. They are holding them hostage in religion. It can be said that Satan don't want the followers of religion to know the truth because the truth will set them free. The people are content living in the bondage of the worlds system because they don't trust Gods spiritual system. Some have all of the material things they won't, most don't, none have all of the happiness that they want. They rather depend on and trust man for their blessings rather than God. Their subconscious mind has been programmed to rebuke believing all information that does not pertain to God from a human, literal and worldly perspective. The religions and people of the world should commend Satan for a job well done. What a shame!

E=MC² - It's All Relative

Life is about "God", nothing more, nothing less. Everything else in life is relative. Its not about people e.g. you, me, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Moses, Bush, Obama or anyone else. It's not about religion or politics.It's not about places. It's not about things. HOWEVER, people , places and things are all relative. If the SPIRITUAL TRUTH be told, life is about spirit (positive and negative energy) often times called "God" and "Satan". E=MC² ... It's all relative.

Golden Rules for Finding a Life Partner

FINDING AND KEEPING A LIFE PARTNER - Golden rules for finding your life partner by Dov Heller, M.A

When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%,it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr./Miss. Right!

If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married, they'll say: "We're in love"; I believe this is the #1mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on love.

Though this may sound "not politically correct", there's a profound Truth here. Love is not the basis for getting married.Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again:"You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone"; you need a lot more!!!

Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious about finding and keeping a life partner.

QUESTION #1: Do we share a common life purpose?
Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel,eat and jog together?

You need to share something deeper and more meaningful.You need a Common life purpose. Two things can happen in a marriage: (1) You can grow together, or (2) you can grow apart. 50% of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life! Bottom line; and marry someone who wants the same thing.

QUESTION #2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person?
This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The Basis of having good communication is trust - I.e.Trust that I won't get "punished"; or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings.Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry.

QUESTION #3: Is he/she a mensch?
A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions. Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as "someone who is always striving to be good and do the right thing"; so ask about your Significant other what do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic? Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top priority is character refinement. There are essentially two types of people in the world: (1) People who are dedicated to personal growth and(2) people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.

QUESTION #4: How does he/she treat other people?
The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self-absorbed? To measure this, think about the following:

* How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, Such as waiters, bus boys, taxi drivers, etc.?
* How do they treat their parents and siblings?
* Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything;
* Can you do nearly as much for them? You can be sure that someone Who treats others poorly will eventually treat you poorly as well.

QUESTION #5: Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married?

Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to "improve"; them after they're married.As a colleague of mine puts it: "You can probably expect someone to change after marriage for the worse" if you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them.

In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating; to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues. Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself in trouble because you didn't do your homework.

Another perspective. ... There are some people in your life that need to beloved from a distance.... (some of y'all may need to read that again) It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative,incompatible, not-going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. (This statement feeds into my thoughts on "Do Not Make Someone a Priority In Your Life, When All You Are Is Just An Option For Them")

Pay attention... . Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye"; Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, pity,desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important.

* Do you bring out the best in each other?
* Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare and control?
* What do you bring to the relationship?
* Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
* You can't take someone to the altar to alter them.
* You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.
* If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and"a life"; you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Seeking status,sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG ARE:
1. TRUST
2. COMMUNICATION
3. INTIMACY
4. A SENSE OF HUMOR
5. SHARING TASKS
6. SOME GETAWAY TIME WITHOUT BUSINESS OR CHILDREN
7. DAILY EXCHANGES (meal, shared activity, hug, call,touch, notes,
8. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS
9. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE
10.GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment withdrawal, abuse, neglect, and dishonesty; and pain will replace it.

Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keep You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But.........Only God keeps You Going!

"In search for me, I discovered truth. In search for truth, I discovered love and in search for love, I discovered God. In God, I have found everything."

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals...."

The Magical Power of Faith

Faith is the key to an abundant and fulfilling life. It is more valuable than any amount of money and any material possession. The man or woman who possesses it will have the resource to work miracles in his/her life and the life of others. There is nothing in the world more valuable than faith. Faith is not a thing and it is not of this world - it is a MINDSET.

Matthew 9:29" According to your faith let it be done to you"

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said to them, "Because of your lack of faith. I tell you with certainty, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

As man's faith increases, his problems decrease and his blessings increase.

Your Faith increases when your DESIRE for it increases. Therefore, your search (seek ye first the kingdom ...) for the truth increase. Therefore, your understanding of the spiritual truth about "God"/Life e.g. Self/ Mind, Spirit, Soul/ The YOU-niverse increase. Therefore, your wisdom and power increases. Therefore, your problems and issues decrease. Therefore, your blessings increase. Therefore, YOUR HAPPINESS INCREASE.

If your spiritual understanding is limited, so shall be your faith and so shall be your happiness.

Hebrews 11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.
