Is it possible to live a good christian life and still not know God? We are confused about what life is really pleasing to God. In his letter to the Philippians Paul the apostle clearly gives us the answer.

The perfect person who reached the fifth dimension perceives everything from the perspective of Allah (swt). He draws lessons from everything. He takes care of Allah’s consent in everything he performs. He is fair in all his judgments. He is now a reliable person whom everybody trusts. He has no dual standards. He doesn’t act differently when something is advantageous or disadvantageous for him. He is a real believer and his criteria are the criteria of Allah (swt). He has no concern, doubt, fear or worry, beyond being honored with consent of Allah (swt).

DISINGENUOUSNESS has its roots in fear within social constructs where approval is a more powerful need than telling the truth. Even at Bible study groups and other Christian community events, our needs of approval, perhaps in getting to know others, are far more powerful, oftentimes, than saying something right because it’s the truth.

When you are thankful praise becomes easier. Do we not find that time and time again the Psalms? Do you read the Psalms devotionally? There is encouragement and inspiration and motivation that is refreshing and renewing and reviving. Just this morning I was reading in Proverbs Chapter 24 and it was like reading that passage for the first time. It was so relevant and revitalising. If politicians, and leaders at all levels, would read God’s Word, so many of our serious problems could be resolved almost overnight. Why is humility such a rare virtue? Some might regard humility as weakness. Read of Jesus Christ the King of Kings and Lord of Lords washing the feet of the disciples in John Chapter 13 and learn something of the strength and authority which flows from humility. When the joy goes, the strength goes. It is Nehemiah who writes that the joy of the Lord is my strength.

The focus of your thoughts is a very crucial point to attracting to you what you desire. For if you focus on what you feel negative about, you will get more of that!

What would you do if this scenario confronted you? It could happen anywhere and in a whole variety of circumstances and we have to be ready and prepared. But, what would you do? It could be an alcohol or drugs problem, or some moral issue that was dogging and defeating the individual, and causing great distress. Everybody these days seems to have an opinion on what is right or wrong but how might Jesus address the questioner? On most vital issues Jesus makes His thoughts fairly clear. Rejection hurts. One dear colleague and friend used to say when people came to him for pastoral help and counselling, “Jesus understands”. There is always a time to prepare for these situations and that time is now.

I was chatting on Facebook with a friend from high school who shared with me that they had a distant feeling with the Lord. I reminded them that the Christian walk is a one-day-at-a-time walk and we grow day-by-day. I also reminded them that we were approaching a new year and what better time than the present to draw closer to God. Maybe you’re not satisfied with your walk, either. In truth, none of us really are. Until we see God face to face, our walk won’t be 100%. However, we should continue to improve our walk day-by-day. So, following are a few things you can implement that will improve your walk:

When a person becomes a real Muslim by being surrendered and subject to Allah (swt), he begins acting in accordance with the will of Allah (swt). Therefore, even the wishes seem to be emerging from him are in fact the wishes of Allah (swt). And also a mature person perceives everything with the light of Allah that He granted him by divine training. Person must escape from the meaning blind and learn to perceive everything with the light of Islam while he is in the world. It is related to refinement of the nafs and purifying the heart.

Unconscious limits to success often stem initially from the unresolved and many times unspoken traumas, tragedies and transgressions that weave themselves into the energy, “fabric” and conversations of our family. Family Constellations is a therapeutic method to help detox from family pain and/or drama.

We all have a story. And we tell our story through language. To quote Heidegger, “language is the house of being.” We live and create and express in language. Every invention, every relationship, every revolution, every society, everything revolves around our capacity to speak it into existence. But the capacity to listen, is equally as powerful.
