Whatd We Miss?
Did we just overlook the amount of love that God has for us? His word, shown in the written form we call the Bible, tells us things that He did to show us that He loves us. Did we realize it or did we overlook it and walk away? In Hebrews 11:1 we are told that our faith is thesubstance of things hoped for, the evidence of thingsnot seen. (Hebrews 11:1) Hope moves into faith The something that's wanted could be just as simple as having pasta... You put water in a pan. You put it on a heated burner on a stovetop. Then you wait for the water to boil. After the water comes to a hard boil you pour in the noodles and wait for the pasta to be cooked. Finally, you put sauce on the pasta and eat it! Normally, it isn't until that time that the attitude changes. You had a want. A hope. But that turned into the knowledge that want you wanted is happening shortly. The attitude becomes excited and expectant of the things we had faith for coming to pass. Just like the pasta wait, we learn in Hebrews 11:1 that what we want is already there. It just takes time for us to get it! Why? Because we need to change our thinking. (That's why God said to renew our minds with His word in Romans 12:2.) What God says is totally, pure truth. We just need to really know it! Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) These things that are hoped for are real but they aren't seen yet with the physical eyes! Don't forget there are the physical and the spiritual realms. Just because you can't see it in the physical realm doesn't mean it's not real in the spiritual realm! Back to the pasta! We want stuff in the physical realm! First off we have to really know that it's real in the spiritual realm. We want good stuff in the physical realm! It's very unfortunate that so many people have let go of their hopes and believed that they have to wait until they go to heaven to get the blessings of God personally. The Wait First of all, we have to really know that what we've wanted is real in the spiritual realm. (the noodles are in the boiling water!) God gave us many gifts for the physical realm! The very word 'saved' in the Greek means "delivered, protected, preserved, healed, and made whole in Romans 10:9, 10! While renewing your mind in God's word, take notice that these verses are how we have eternal life with Jesus! I know that it can be difficult to give up some religious teachings -but we have to if they disagree with God! Don't keep anything if it goes against God! The noodles in pan are cooking... It started with just wanting something to happen...After time is spent renewing your mind your attitude changes. You will find that you are sure that what you've waited for is there and real. You are excited and expectant. You're more and more fully persuaded... It is at this point that you can reach and take hold of the blessings that God has made available to you!

Psalms For Prosperity The psalms of the Bible are a literary treasure chest of prayers for prosperity. Below is a list of which psalms to recite for common financial requests. In some Catholic and Santeria traditions, you say the prayer or write the prayer out after lighting a candle. You may also recite the prayer as many times as you want to transform it into a kind of a mantra. Passions of the Heart! There are no better people to be around than thosewho have a zest for life and a joy in theirhearts. Few as there may be, when you meet one youjust know it. There's something about them thatdraws you inward, some call it a persons,"Persona", I believe God would call it your,"Passion." Some say you are just born with thatinner balance and security that is so magnetic. Leaving Storyville One of the most difficult barriers to overcome on the path to spiritual growth is extracting yourself from the tenacious grip of the Ego Story. Unsuspectingly, many people are mesmerized and possessed by this mental illusion. Possessed like some demon possesses a poor, hapless soul. They are ignorant of their ignorance. They do not realize they are separate. They believe that they are the Story. Your Guardian Angel Your guardian angel is your link to the divine. The word "angel" comes from the Greek and means "a messenger." The concept of guardian angels goes back thousands of years to the Assyrian and Babylonian civilisations where they were believed to protect palaces and temples. However, this gradually changed. Many people in the Christian tradition believe that every baby gets assigned a guardian angel at birth. Jesus referred to this when he said that the angels who look after children always face God (Matthew 18:10). Kundalini and Going Where Were Supposed To Go In the early 90's I had a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening after a near death experience, which I wrote about in a different article. Here's what happened next. Meditations From a Spiritual Journey For me, the best poetry stirs my soul; it awakens my spirit through its clarity and simplicity. Its purpose is clean, pointing me towards greater understanding of who I am in this world, or, even better, towards comprehension of the divine that indwells both this world and me. It is this comprehension, this movement towards the divine, that enables each of us to make this world better as we work for justice and an "acting-out" of the divine's attributes. Karma: Is It Good or is It Bad? You Decide! We hear this word so often and have one thing stuck in our mind ? it's either a bad thing or a good thing. The other issue is: do we believe in Karma? Regardless of whether we believe in that word or not, it is still there. Karma plays a big part in our experiences and life lessons. Even if the "word" Karma does not exist in your personal vocabulary, karma still exists in your life. Jesus Birthday: Sacred Children Series - 2 of 3 I had visions of my daughter for about five years before she finally showed up. She turned out exactly like the little girl in my dreams who had haunted me all that time. I was so very glad to see that she was alive and real. I always thought she must somehow be more magical and special then other normal kids. An Illuminatus Speaks An Illuminatus Speaks: Gods Name... Creation and Undoing! Over the past number of years, while going through my studies and research, information and answers come to the surface that are most astounding. I have come to understand things differently than I was taught in years of Catholic schooling. Although, I still believe in the "bigger picture" and "something greater", it has taken on a different tone and context. It has turned from a fearful system of faith to a confident system of knowledge and thought.

Looking Back With A Pained Expression Anyone who tells you that the path to self-actualization is an easy one has never walked it. Along the way, we meet - head on! - the skeletons in our personal closets, and the process of coming to terms with our past and al that it brought into our lives is a long and solitary one. It's such a dark and lonely space that many people give up the journey, deciding that the "present moment self" - as imperfect as it may be! - will just have to suffice in this lifetime.
