AQUARIUS ♒️ weekly tarot 25th April – 1st May |“MOVE ON UP!”| #ReydiantAquarius

I changed the future and so can you. We can make it more like we desire, and help others also in the process. We create our own reality with our thoughts and our actions. Many of us have heard that we are what we think. But can we change the future? When I told my friend that I had changed the future, he thought I had really lost it! So I told him what I did.

Love is a powerful force. It is such a powerful energy that it even protects us from the wiles of the dark force we call Satan. Many of us have been taught to fear Satan and an illusive place we call Hell. Is there really such a place, or is it just a state of mind, or a figment of our imagination?

It is always possible to define God as something that obviously exists, so it’s best to choose a definition that we can put to use when trying to relate our experiences to others. Maybe the simplest, but still useful definition is to say: “God is everything.” Unless you engage in a highly philosophical debate, it is obvious to most people that ‘everything’ does indeed exist, and why not call the wholeness of everything ‘God’.

Some say God is in heaven. Some say God is dead. Some say God is inside us, and some even specify the location: in our hearts. Some say God is nature untainted by human influence. Some say God is on Mount Olympus having fun with his friends.

If we don’t imagine God to be human, where to start then? Stripped of its meaning, ‘God’ is only a word. If we give meaning to this word by considering how most people use it, then we come to a theology. If we try to give a clearly defined meaning, then we come to a philosophy.

To get to know God a little better, it’s best to cast away expectations and preconceptions that are limiting. So, it makes sense to see first who God isn’t:

Tension grows. It frequently does when two distinctly different groups appear. Those who came to hear what Jesus Christ had to say gathered around him, while the religious leaders of the day arrived murmuring and muttering.

Life is nothing but a continuing cyclic journey of surprising ‘twists and turns’ that at times, appear contrary to the direction in which you are wanting to head. In fact, the road may abruptly stop throwing you in the opposite direction. But, how do you genuinely know where you are headed? You don’t. That’s the point! Life is an incalculable mystery revealing itself in the cracks and crevices of the hours that unfold. (Without the secrecy, we would all be bored to pieces).

To erroneously believe that you can be separate from the destiny in which you are creating, participating and exalting is ludicrous. Nothing escapes, eludes or elicits more from you than you are capable of giving/producing. Why? Because who you are is how you are, Period.

Is it prudent and realistic to send church teams on short international missions trips? With so much economic and political uncertainty these days, should we be spending our time and money on these things? Your church might be struggling with this very question. If you are, you need to examine assumptions that motivate those questions. This article explores those assumptions.

One of the dilemmas I faced on becoming a fully-fledged Christian was coming to terms with my loyalty to certain cultural icons who in the passed had been labelled as un-Christian. The greatest of these is no doubt “the King” himself, Elvis Presley. Before Elvis, the only individual in history who could be known simply as “the King” was probably Jesus himself. Was Elvis an example of Satan’s grand plan to subvert the authority of our Lord?
