The Overlooked Procedure – What To Consider When Praying
We have overlooked the fact that we’re evaluated in everything we do; whether in a relationship, or on jobs we are evaluated in our performance. Likewise in our prayers and what we do for God are evaluated to determine the value of what we do and say.
How To Be Your Own GuruThe narrative by Anthony de Mello underlines the theme, Truth is found within and not in someone’s teachings. We must avoid following other people’s truth, mainly when everyone is searching for answers of their own. A teacher can take you so far in your knowledge while your inner wisdom has access to absolute intelligence. No one is infallible, by virtue of our human existence we are prone to mistakes and gurus are no different.
There are so many things wrong with the way man thinks and perceives the things of God that it is only with a direct input from the Spirit that they can be understood. The answers could be given to the many who want to know but that is impractical. When everyone interprets things differently it would lose the real meaning.
Are Heaven and Hell for Real?God of love not only leads us to the way of salvation but also reveals the secrets of Heaven. Many have these questions in their mind – Where am I going after life in this world? Or does Heaven and Hell exist? Many people die before they find answers to such questions, or even if they believe in the afterlife, not everyone goes to Heaven. Some even believe in Heaven and Hell, but since they did not know the way to Heaven or they do not have the right knowledge about Heaven or Hell, they missed Heaven. Heaven and Hell are not a fantasy, but a reality in the spiritual realm.
Why Christ and Church Make Every Difference in SufferingHE has gone there before us. All His disciples have gone there before us, the only exception, the cursed Judas Iscariot. Many of the fathers and mothers of the early church went precisely the same way. There are saints and martyrs through the history of the Church who have wisely recanted nothing, going the same way. There are contemporaries of our time… and, if we’re blessed, us, ourselves… going the same way.
God’s Law and the Forbidden Things That HurtTo know God is to keep the rules that provide spirituality and an inner voice that directs and guides one throughout life. To follow religious laws is to bring down the wrath of God and retribution against the evil doers that are now destroying the world as we know it. The rules are simple and easily understood by those who are not brainwashed and indoctrinated into false gods and worship of idols.
It can be one of the hardest things to get across to people, because many do not want to hear it, or just do not want to know. Do you want a deeper spirituality? Do you want a spirituality that is real and authentic – a spirituality which will grow and mature? Jesus preached the ‘bad news’ before He announced the ‘good news’. If this is not made clear, it can be difficult to know what the Gospel is addressing. Jesus comes to reveal the righteousness of God, and the Gospel is the power of God to save and rescue man. This is why the Gospel of Jesus Christ is God’s answer for all races, all colours, and all nationalities. There are those who think they are a hopeless case, to which one friend replies, “You are much worse than you think!” The message of Jesus Christ is designed for sinners – for those who have fallen – whether they realise it or not.
Spirituality Is Separate From the MindOur brains are organs formed during the embryonic stage of our development. As science proclaims it cannot have a separate existence to the body and it is dependent on that overall construct for its survival. But there is something beyond the brain what enters the body after its development and that is spirit.
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, and Satisfaction of SoulThere’s a pattern to our confession, as a soul’s release from bondage is procured. It’s the pattern for the Christian life and far too few of us, much too little of the time, actually practice this ancient response to the Holy Spirit’s convicting goad. And I shrink when I read those words back; no criticism of you, more criticism of me! But that’s humanity’s lot.
Why Reincarnation Is Taking Over From Heaven and HellMore facts about reincarnation are emerging as people suddenly take a greater interest in it. It is, after all, far more logical than pie in the sky dreams of heaven and hell. With space exploration proving there is nothing ‘up there’ but stars, planets, and other space matter it appears that people are starting to wake up to have much the religious forces have fooled the world.
Addiction to Spirituality: The Spiritual BypassLian had been meditating for many years before consulting with me for his depression. He had been part of a spiritual community that encouraged their members to turn to God through prayer and meditation whenever they were feeling any difficult or painful feelings such as anger, hurt, anxiety or depression. He had been taught that Spirit would transmute his feelings for him and bring him the inner peace he sought.
Spiritual People Don’t HateSpiritual people can’t hate is probably a better heading for this article. They are different in their attitudes towards others because they have understanding. They have the gifts of the Spirit of the Universe, the real God, and they are peace, love, joy, knowledge, and a link that provides answers.
