What we perceive to be reality today can change tomorrow. Truth when revealed has a tendency to change our view on life; it either takes the edge of our perception or sharpens our perception of reality; consequently the truth can change our lives. In this context I am revealing this truth. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The devils is a liar, life on earth is of the devil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”. There are only two things in life, people are either ascending or descending, coming from God or ascending to God, everything else if of the devil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us check the facts, let us check &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;reality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; against this truth; let us check &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; as in the way we perceive the world. it was real as can be real, but today it is so real as yesterday. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What was this reality?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we differentiate truth from falsehood? Perhaps the very nature of this world is a false reality. It is always changing. It appears to be real but its nature will change in time. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pass away&lt;pass&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we ready for the truth that can give us the light of the day?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to know the truth behind the impulse, which drives us to negate each other. We need to know the reason why we are driven to negate that which is black in life and to exalt that which is white in life. It is an unnatural disposition, yet it is a fact of life. It is beside us. We have no control over the way we feel. We need to do something about the way we feel. We are driven by the impulse to negate that which is void of the attributes of light or black, and to exalt everything, which reflects the attributes of, light or white. We are either driven to negate literarily that which reflects the attributes of black or lack of light or driven to exalt the attributes of light or white. In so it is the struggle we go trough all the days of our lives. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been tided up in this eternal struggle, a type of polarization, which creates duality in human’s life. This type of struggle existed in human’s life since the fall of man. It has been the cause for all the disparities that exist in the human race. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anything black in life is to be negated and cut off from life, and anything white is to be exalted and put forth. Unless we know the truth, which exists behind this struggle, we will continue to live our lives struggling with each other literarily. This type of darkness existed in life since the fall of man. Until Jesus came to reveal through actions, and showed us new possibilities trough demonstrations we were living in the dark. We did not know the possibilities of the spirit life.&lt;br /&gt;He raised the dead, healed the sick, gave sight to the blinds and arose Himself from the dead. These are possibilities that didn’t exist until He came to reveal them to us. We too must claim these possibilities as our own and also any other revelations that come later to us trough His servants. Hence these revelations become reality in our lives, they will override our present reality. However difficult and challenging it may appears to be right now just to talk about these subjects, before Jesus came these possibilities did not even exist to us. Now we cannot only talk about them but we also can confront them. Jesus said that He is the truth, because before Him we were living our lives in a false reality and we are still do. We know not that the dead can live again; He revealed this truth to us by demonstrating its reality. He healed the sick, arose from the grave. These are truths that He also demonstrated to us. These truths one day shall become facts and override the false reality that we are now living. In such manner shall it be for us that knowing the truth behind the struggle between black and white shall help us override our false reality. If we can focus on the truths that Jesus revealed and seek to live the life, which make them possible, we can experience new realities. One of such reality that needs to be changed is the struggle, which exist between black and white. The impulse to negate anything black literarily has caused great disparities in the human race. Black people because of the color of their skin have been cut off from the possibilities of life. Not necessarily by whites but the impulse to negate and restraint that which is black, such happenings can only be the works of darkness. Though the devil portrait himself as an agent for light, he is in actuality an instigator of darkness. Very few human beings understand the reason why they are feeling the way they feel, act the way they do or be in the condition they find themselves in. Asians people also have experienced some degree of negation because of the color of their skin. They have not experienced the intensity of which black people have experienced because their yellow skin is closer to white and reflects some of the attributes of light. The truth that I am trying to put forth is that there is a co-relationship between the attributes found in light and the reality of life on earth. There is also a co-relation between the fall of man and the struggle, which is currently going on in life. There is also a relationship between the stagnation that persists among the darker skin people of the world and the acceleration that flourishes among the lighter skin people of the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Truth is that which is. It is aught, it changes not&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”. Truth is that which is, it resides in God. He alone can reveal it to us. Jesus revealed Himself to be the truth by demonstrating in actions the reality behind the truths He tried to reveal. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is no religion higher than truth”. “Falsehood is what seems to be, it is naught and shall pass away&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?ID=thereis_1.pdf.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Continued..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/freedownload.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;More..&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2009/10/there-is-a-truth.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_XdvotseMfm9KQanf8Cbl5i8Rp6WHNuy-Cs-s-0wWu0bWxCaGomhYwEZ8ew8gj3LHKqGFdheuY-S-CUegb4YoKDmSo8Zkc9SQzYwyxQbWAnAHqGCXjQTG_2oSuMIs64XtXlmbq-KYnk/s72-c/looking_3.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-834250681481326449</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2008 20:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-10T12:52:54.848-08:00</atom:updated><title>The Measure of Faith</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMBSW_7oMRlMIIqAHLfCRvzWX7qC51YyDTEW2NXoWHzS0RKCo_quN_bMVp-NMuViN4qayz0ExFwODXD1Qvbbh0oIkXFPzM8-RNpdYKzKyy_0JI-tkaonJDf1kQm_k-F0x8cC9DA_SS64/s1600-h/idick12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260825956746276146&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 102px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 142px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMBSW_7oMRlMIIqAHLfCRvzWX7qC51YyDTEW2NXoWHzS0RKCo_quN_bMVp-NMuViN4qayz0ExFwODXD1Qvbbh0oIkXFPzM8-RNpdYKzKyy_0JI-tkaonJDf1kQm_k-F0x8cC9DA_SS64/s320/idick12.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;She had the measure of faith necessary to transcend her limitations and had her needs met. Despites been looked down upon as dog; with no standing in the world; she was able to transcend her limitation with her faith. She had the measure of faith. Do you want to change the human condition in your country and in your world? Are you affected by Negation? Is the world put you in a corner and you see no way out? Do you want to change the lines that depict your existence? Here is how?&lt;br /&gt;You need the measure of faith. What do I mean by the measure of faith? Is it the amount of faith you need or the substance of your faith? Faith is defined as the substance of things hope for. True to that but what you need to know is what substance is your faith made up; in what do you have faith in. You need faith in the substance of God, in the power of God. The measure of faith is the (standard) amount of faith required in Christ to tap in the power of God. Faith is the demarcation line separating the haves and the have nots, separating what you don’t have and what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is the measure of faith&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christ is the end of the law and the end of our limitations. Christ is the power of God for our salvation. The moment we believe that with conviction we have the measure of faith necessary to tap in the power of God.&lt;br /&gt;Jesus asked his disciples a rhetorical question: “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is eternal life?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and He answered his own question this way: “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eternal life is to believe that Jehovah God is the only true God and the one He sent, Jesus Christ&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”. That is the measure of faith. That is what requirerd. Hence you believe that, you can tap in the spiritual world, the eternal. Everyone who believes in Christ starts with that measure of faith; with the same amount of faith. This amount of faith is all that you need to access heaven, to bring the kingdom of God to the earth; that is the measure of faith she needed. The Canaanite woman was able to access the power of God to meet her need by her faith. All she needed was her belief in Jesus that He is the Christ, &lt;strong&gt;the savior&lt;/strong&gt;. Savior means that she believed that Jesus embodied the power of God in Him to meet her need. Her faith gave her access to that power. Jesus was a Jew; as a man He was conforming to the demands of the law. It was forbidden for Jews to deal with Canaanites, but her faith forced Him to transcend the law and fulfill her needs. Whatever your race, your denomination, your limitations in life, hence you tap in the spirit world; you are free of your limitations. Your faith in God and in Jesus Christ gives you access to heaven, the eternal. Yes her ancestral ties placed limits on her, her race was a barrier keeping her from accessing her possibilities on earth, but her faith helped her transcend her limitations. That measure of faith is what gave her access to the spirit, to the eternal, to the eternal life that Jesus was talking about. He went on to describe further what faith is, that measure of your belief, that conviction that you must have. He said that faith is like that of a mustard seed which is the least among the trees, but grows on to become the largest of the trees. You start with that small amount of belief; the only requirement that you need to access heaven. You start with the belief that Jehovah God is the only true God and Jesus Christ is the one He sent to reveal His power. That is your conviction, your belief. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A man has to believe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” without this conviction you cannot access the power of God.&lt;br /&gt;What is the implication to all of that; how can your faith help you transcend your limitations in this world. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A man is a spirit being clothed in flesh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” this statement is true, I can demonstrate the truth in it to you. The Canaanite woman was clothed with the body that she was born in. she was born in Canaan . According to the bible that race is traceable to an incident in the Old Testament involving Noah and his sons. Noah was drunk and when he awoke knowing what his son Ham had done to him, he said: Cursed be Canaan&lt;br /&gt;It was forbidden for Jews to have anything to do with Canaanites. Jesus been a Jews had to conform to the law at that time. When He was talking to the woman, He was addressing her as a Jew not as the Messiah. The friction that existed between Jews and Canaanites at that time was very apparent in the conversation between Jesus and that woman. She was able to won Him over with her faith despites all, taken him past the flesh and addressed His spirit. She believed in Him despites all He said to her to remind her of her limitations, her fleshly statutes. The Canaanites were considered as dogs at that time. Jesus was trying to remind her that Jews did not have anything to do with Canaanites; but her faith won Him over. Your faith in the power of God, your faith in Christ is all you need to transcend your limitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt; You who is lagging behind, cut off and cut out of the possibilities of this world, unable to attain success despites all of your efforts, for whatever reason the devil uses to negate you, rather it is because of your race, religion, gender or geographical origin, you can call on the power of God for your salvation. Out of the mouth confession is made into salvation. If you believe that Jehovah God is the only true God and Jesus is His envoy and embodied His power for your salvation, confess it with your mouth, you shall call on that power to free you from the grips of Negation and it shall be done. You can tap in the spiritual world with your faith. You can tap in the power of God for your salvation. Only God can free you from the division brought by the forces for Negation; if you can have that measure of faith necessary to tap in that power, you can transcend all the limitations that the world put on you.&lt;/span&gt; }&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can really be in the world and not of it. That measure of faith is the belief that Jesus is the Christ, the power of God for our salvation. Someone said that: “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;having to believe is a cinch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;” a man has to believe in his knower, he must know that he knows that Jesus is the Christ, the power of God for his salvation. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jesus said to Peter upon this revelation that I am the Christ, knowing this truth, whatever you bind in heaven will be bound on earth and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”. All of this means that you can bridge heaven and earth together with your belief; you now can bring heaven in the play in your life.&lt;br /&gt;As a body you have the limitation of the body, but as a spirit you have no limitation. If you identify yourself with the body, you will have the limitations of the body. You will be forced to conform to the laws that regulate the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00cccc;&quot;&gt;Obama as a president embodies the spirit of reconciliation. He is equally white as he is equally black. He is not affected by the pull of Negation or the privilege of Attainment. Why hasn’t his white side been a problem? Well we know why; it is Negation that is a problem. In this world, whites are affirmed and blacks are negated. He is able to transcend the struggle that exists between blacks and whites because he embodies the spirit of reconciliation. If you can assume your right identity, you too can transcend the struggle that exists between blacks and whites. See right identity:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/rightidentity.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/rightidentity.html&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Her faith gave her access to that power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;The woman with the issue of blood is a perfect example of the power of God embodied in Jesus, she was able to tap in that power of God without Jesus foreknowledge of it; He did not realize that she had tap into Him until the power was released from Him. Her faith gave her access to that power. That is the measure of faith that she needed to access that power. That is the measure of faith we all need; everyone who tap in to the spiritual world start with that measure of faith. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A man has to believe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”. She believed that if she could touch His garment, she will be healed. That belief, that conviction was all she needed to access the spiritual reality she could not see. “&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Faith therefore is the substance of thing hope fore and the evidence of things unseen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;”. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the evidence of things unseen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/measure-of-faith.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMBSW_7oMRlMIIqAHLfCRvzWX7qC51YyDTEW2NXoWHzS0RKCo_quN_bMVp-NMuViN4qayz0ExFwODXD1Qvbbh0oIkXFPzM8-RNpdYKzKyy_0JI-tkaonJDf1kQm_k-F0x8cC9DA_SS64/s72-c/idick12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-4544362598525956411</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-31T10:00:21.916-07:00</atom:updated><title>This System of Things</title><description>This is what Jesus called it, the name seem a propos. Because it is a system of operandus, it is mechanical. It has an aim, an objective. It is designed to make us consume the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. We are subconsciously and unknowingly consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. The kingdom of darkness, rightly named so, is subconscious; because it operates below our conscious mind, it is designed to make us perpetually consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.&lt;br /&gt;Jesus Himself said it plainly. “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Except a man denies himself; he cannot fallow Me&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;. Jesus is the alternative to the kingdom of darkness; He represents the kingdom of God. What He is saying in effect is that we must deny the process by which we arrive at our self identity. We assume our identity as a separate entity by consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Unless we deny that process, we can never be part of the other kingdom. To fallow Jesus and become part of the kingdom of God, we must deny the self. The process by which we arrive at our self identity is for us to consume the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is us assuming our self identity, separating ourselves from our fellow human beings, and ultimately from God.&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Except a man takes up his cross he cannot fallow Me&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”: this is the antidote to the kingdom of darkness, the antidote that will keep us from consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil gives us our self identity, our self awareness, our spirit of separation. Except a man takes up his cross means that we must embrace our humanity, our oneness, the short comings, the weaknesses of our fellow human beings, all of the flaws that come with being human. Just like a child, we accept with all weaknesses, vulnerabilities, etc... Only as a child can we enter the kingdom of God, with no consciousness of self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must undo the works of darkness; we must deny the very thing that sustains the kingdom of darkness. We must give up our self identity and embrace our humanity.&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Let him deny himself and take up his cross&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”. This is the antidote against the kingdom of darkness. “Except a man is born of water and spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of heaven”. Born of water means renunciation, let go of our self identity, give up the self, deny the process by which we arrive at our self identity. only then can we be begotten by the spirit of God. We must make the transition, that is we must give up the spirit of separation and embrace the spirit of oneness. “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I pray Father that they are one as you and I are one&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;There will never true races relation until this system of things is no more. We know why He came; to destroy the kingdom of darkness. Every little bit of progress made is a victory against the kingdom of darkness. Apartheid in South Africa, James Crow law in America, are steps toward making the enemy of humanity our foot stool. I am seating with Christ waiting on God to fulfill His promise. “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now is the ruler of this world cast out, the darkness of this world cast out&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;Looking at this system of things, it is complex, elaborate, fleeting, cunning, elusive, only God can stand against it. We must align ourselves with God to expedite the process, and shorten the time.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-system-of-things.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-5240747407371366493</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-05T10:48:43.768-07:00</atom:updated><title>Get off My Tail; Here Are Some Tales</title><description>You must hear this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had recently a conversation with an intellectual, university educated voodoo priest from Haiti. We were discussing religion and the human condition in Haiti. I asked him what he think was responsible for the state of poverty Haiti. He told me that he was about to fix that. He had an organization on the way addressing this issue. Haiti must go back to its ancestral religion he said and that Christianity is responsible for the economic depravity that exists in Haiti. Christianity is a foreign element introduced by the Whiteman to rob black Haitians of their inherited power. He said that Haiti was a prosperous nation until Haitians were forced to give up their religion. He said that there were several campaigns mounted by former leaders, in the 1920, 30s and 40s forcing Haitians to give up their religion. I let him talk to his heart content. I realize his frustration, like most of us we&lt;br /&gt;feel helpless in the face of insurmountable task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told him that Christianity is not an imposition, it is not something that is imposed from outside to us; it is what we are all becoming. as we develop the human qualities such as love, tolerance and compassion for our fellow human beings; as we express these qualities we are becoming closer to what God intended for us to be. In doing so, we begin to realize these qualities in the teachings of Jesus Christ are our source of strength. Christ is humanity redeemed, human beings becoming closer to the image of God. I said to him; trust me my friend, the blessing of God, the power to succeed in anything in life, the ability to proper and excel in life will come through Christ. As we getting closer to the image of what God intended for us to be, He has no other alternative but to bless us. Jesus Christ asked a jew this question: “are ye Abraham descendant?” if ye be Abraham descendant, etc. God is able to raise Abraham descendants out of the history of Abraham”. Which means that you don’t have to be a Jew, born in Israel or Palestine to receive the blessing of God; God said through Abraham and his seed, He will bless all of the family of the earth... he said to Abraham: “I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward”. Why is that about Abraham you may ask? Why God showed him favor?&lt;br /&gt;Jesus said this: “Because Abraham obeyed the law of God, the statutes and the commandments of God, God accounted him righteous”. God blessed him exceedingly because he knows right from wrong, how to treat others as he want them to treat him, he knows and acknowledges God as the source of unfailing, invisible supply. He gave no credence to man or any other power, except God. This is the fatal flaw that maintains poverty in Haiti. Even though all voodoo priests acknowledge God as the source of all powers and to Him they ask permission before carry out their activities, but never once educate their subjects to seek the source themselves, or even point them toward the source. While they themselves ask permission from the source to operate, they never once lead their subjects to the source. As a consequence, there is always a third party mediating, standing between the source and them. See what they have as a result; Third world reality; taking guidance and direction from failed spirits; spirits that may not even graduated out of their class or who may have been permanently banned to reach higher levels of awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was disappointed because I saw the zeal and the enthusiasm displayed by the voodoo priest. He is wrong and will lead his people away from their blessing. I told him that you don’t have to be labeled a Christian if you don’t want to, just become one. These principles you found in the teachings of Jesus Christ are universal principles if we not learn them willingly, we will learn them forcefully on the battle fields of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert noel</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/04/get-off-my-tail-here-are-some-tales.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-8625985836266850006</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-05T10:45:57.767-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Babel Syndrome</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJh4oScZj_K0GBkV0qUe00XvxwShjjZErSa1lVRFVNbteTUvDwjBu0qL76WNNjL-LhKrPTDY_4AvyJcXE3dv9BgsDjajM2QxGC-dveYVrON1QKn1ojPPr2o8t2UYCpQQymLqTVHkEf_Zk/s1600-h/tidbit.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187416366406037394&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJh4oScZj_K0GBkV0qUe00XvxwShjjZErSa1lVRFVNbteTUvDwjBu0qL76WNNjL-LhKrPTDY_4AvyJcXE3dv9BgsDjajM2QxGC-dveYVrON1QKn1ojPPr2o8t2UYCpQQymLqTVHkEf_Zk/s320/tidbit.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jesus never saw Himself as God or equal to God yet He said the He and God are one. This tells us that we can still be individuals and yet part of a collective or a greater whole. he also prayed to God to preserve His disciple as a unit, as one. “I pray Father that they are one as we are one” While we celebrate our individuality we tend to loose sight of our collectivity. God is the source of all things, in God we are one because he is the source of all things. Some how we lost the awareness of our oneness with God; in order to find God again we must first deny the process that gave us our individuality.&lt;br /&gt;“If a man wants to fallow Me, let him deny himself and fallow Me”. Everything we do in this world revolves around the self. It is the self that make us individuals yet we are a collective. The proof is in the pudding; Christ save us as individuals, each one of us is saved differently. Only as individuals can we be saved, yet Christ is coming for a collective. He is coming for the church or the body of believers that made up the church. Here is the nuance, we must loose ourselves in order to find ourselves. God saves humanity, not just me or you but the whole of humanity. That is the awareness we must cultivate. Jesus never lost his position as master, nor did his status diminished when he washed the feet of His disciples. He was one with them yet still retained His individuality. He did not have to negate them to make Himself more important than them or greater than them. He knew who He was as an individual and as a collective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See: The individual VS the collective &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The babel syndrome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Genesis 3:17 to 19“cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art , and unto dust shalt thou return”. This is the sentence that we incurred when Adam decided to put his individuality above God. What is it that took place when God said to Adam that you shall not eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. “which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it “. What is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man is a collective entity, a fragmented being that needs the presence of his fellow human beings to find wholeness. The moment we consume the fruit of our individuality we loose sight of our spiritual oneness. This is why it is said that sin separated man from God. The process by which we arrive at our individuality is negation. We must negate others as to say that you are not me. It is this process that leads us to consume the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. We know that we are better than that is good and everything else that is not me is evil. Resorting that difference is the act of consuming the fruit of the knowledge we gain that we are separate and I am not you and you are not me. This is what causes us to be fragmented, we lost sight of the spiritual link that binds us together as one. Without the spirit there is no oneness. It is t he spirit that makes us one. “We know in part and we prophesize in part” Paul said. Some of us may hold the gift of prophesy and still some others have the gift to interpret prophesies. Everyman has a blind widow which he needs some one else to help him see. jesus put great emphasis on oneness. The question that I am inviting you to ask is why is it so difficult for the people of the Third world to see eye to eye, share the same vision or come together collectively to achieve great things? Why is it so difficult for some of us to come together in one accord? Why is it so difficult for some of us to see eye to eye, share one vision collectively? Jesus Christ teachings revolve around teaching us how to be one... he knows how much we need each other. He knows that we are not complete without one another. In His teachings, He said: “Do unto others, as you would like them to do unto you”; forgive your brother seven time seven, turn the other cheek that is seek alternatives to resolve conflict, avoid head on collision, be like the good Samaritan, be kind to others in need, take up your cross that is to embrace your humanity, the weaknesses and the short comings of your fellow human beings”.&lt;br /&gt;“A man discovers himself in the midst of his fellow human beings” we need other to help us see ourselves, help us see a reflection of ourselves. Are we our brother’s keepers? Yes we are, because our survival depends on others. God will not pour His blessing until there is unity. “Where the unity is, there t he Lord commands the blessing”. Jesus prayer for His disciples is that they remained one as a unit, one as a group with the same purpose. He knew that they could not accomplish their mission unless they remain one as a group with the same purpose. “I pray father the are one as you and I are one”&lt;br /&gt;“Lo the people are one; nothing will be refrained from them which they imagine to do”. There is power in oneness. We were created to be at one with God. We must deny the self, the awareness of our individuality to regain the awareness of our collectivity. “If a man wants to fallow Mw, let him first deny himself and fallow Me”. Jesus came to undo the works of darkness; he came to undo the process by which we arrive at our self awareness. We are perpetually consuming the fruit of the knowledge of Good and evil. We arrive at our self awareness by negating that which we think or believe is not us. This is consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Why we negate others? We do that to promote ourselves, to claim our individuality as better than the next person and in the process for go our awareness of the connection we have with that person. Jesus came to show us other wise. There is no humanity without the awareness of our collectivity, our dependence on each other, most importantly our connection to the source.&lt;br /&gt;The crux of success in the industrial world is the ability of the people to come together collectively to achieve great things. This entails a denial of our individuality for the purpose of coming together for a greater good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question to you is what is the Babel Syndrome?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The babel Syndrome is a mental state that is common to countries that are underdeveloped commonly called Third World Countries. If there is an indicator, something by which to measure the Third World it is in the frequency of the mental disease called Babel syndrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus claimed his individuality yet never separated Himself from God. He never claimed to be God. He said: “The father is greater than me yet He and the father are one”.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/04/babel-syndrome.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJh4oScZj_K0GBkV0qUe00XvxwShjjZErSa1lVRFVNbteTUvDwjBu0qL76WNNjL-LhKrPTDY_4AvyJcXE3dv9BgsDjajM2QxGC-dveYVrON1QKn1ojPPr2o8t2UYCpQQymLqTVHkEf_Zk/s72-c/tidbit.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-5034143192491300017</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-02T15:11:19.746-08:00</atom:updated><title>Solution for a Third World</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV4g6P7Oz1c9MSsH_P-gvctcLPg2F54hZxKfOzKLGquq0l7lFrCQ-K2UjJv4caYYBOXdZY3iEa6MU2sGX8awFM55xrEY3M55vljTs3R389ZcilQcJwZPRnCWyby6URFulOaLJoLK1-9ww/s1600-h/levels_2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173285741715935458&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV4g6P7Oz1c9MSsH_P-gvctcLPg2F54hZxKfOzKLGquq0l7lFrCQ-K2UjJv4caYYBOXdZY3iEa6MU2sGX8awFM55xrEY3M55vljTs3R389ZcilQcJwZPRnCWyby6URFulOaLJoLK1-9ww/s320/levels_2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This below will explain the reason why there is a Third World in our midst and what can the people of the Third World do to produce first rated world. Below are universal principles when apply will make a measurable change in the lives of people.&lt;br /&gt;Prepare a short questionnaire for yourself that will help you determine where you stand in this world in terms of human needs; to what level of awareness are you stuck in; or if you are a free human being, able to move freely back and forth from one level of awareness to the next. God intended for you to go back and forth, climbing up and down the rungs that made up the ladder of awareness from one level of awareness to the next, communing back and forth, ascending or descending from earth to heaven or from heaven to earth bringing the divine to the lowest levels of awareness illuminating the darkness of this world.&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now is the ruler of this world cast out, the darkness of this world cast out&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;See: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/motivation.html&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/motivation.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summarizing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were to summarize the description of the people of the Third World, I could do it in just one word: AWARENESS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do I mean by awareness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It is your inner disposition, your ability to perceive and assess the world around you, how you relate to people and the world around you.&lt;br /&gt;In describing the inner disposition of the people of the Third World I can say that it is first a state of fixation on a particular need, in the structure of human needs, needs are arranged by order or priority, needs are what motivate people in life, they are the driving force in our lives, the driving force of a country on a collective level or driving force on a personal level as an individuals, people are driven by needs, when a predominant need takes precedence over all other needs that becomes a fixation in life, that fixation is our state of awareness, it is that state of awareness through which a person sees, interact or relate to the world, everything is filtered through that need, that need takes up all of our attention, this is fixation of our attention, we are stuck at that level of need or one can say that our awareness is stuck, unable to break free, we enter into a state of bewilderment and confusion, in this state of fixation we lack focus, we then become unable to hear or see anything else outside of that need, we remain stuck within ourselves as individuals, unable to join others, unite as a group collectively, share each other vision. This is the ply of the Third World people; they are indeed stuck collectively at one level of awareness; we can say that is as far as they can come together collectively, they are one collectively because of their communality; they are part of a collective, not by choice, but by their communality. It is not without cause that we have a Third World in our midst. If you observe carefully the communalities that are typical to the people of the Third World, you will understand why the world they create is called Third World. If you were to characterize the people of the Third World, you could say that they are living in a trance like, their attention is fixated on a need, whatever that need is, they are driven by it. I hope that you get the essence of what I am trying to convey to you. I want you to understand that the reason we have a Third World in our midst is because the people cannot help themselves; they are in a state of fixation which usually accompany by a state of bewilderment and confusion, they cannot produce first rated world, because they cannot share their thoughts and vision collectively, cut off from the higher levels of awareness where they can find inspiration, intuition and vision. Because they are stuck, they can only function as individuals and not function as a collective, each one is to his own, doing his own thing, pursuing his own dreams. This is their ply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;The Remedy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spirit and fire are the true remedies. John testified to that fact when he said that;” &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Luke 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”. the chaff represents the undesirable things that pin us down in life. We should be fluid and flexible, free to go back and forth from one level of awareness to the other, but some of us are stuck at one level, pin down, unable to get free, this is called fixation of attention. When Christ baptize you with spirit and fire you are shacking from you foundation, you are able to be free, free to move like the wind. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; when you are baptized by fire you are purged from and clean from anything that block you, weighted you own, keeping you from flowing with the spirit. You attention should be free to move back and forth, free to climb the ladder of awareness, from the need for survival to the highest need, the need to be divine. You are indeed a new creation in Christ; you are able to flow like the wind with everything around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all driven by needs. In terms of needs, some of us are stuck at the bottom of the scale to the level of subsistence, still others are stuck at the level of procreation, they only want to have children and enjoy sexual pleasure, others still are suck at the level of self recognition, the need for power, to be acknowledged, these different needs become our fixation in life. When we are stuck, we only see and respond to the world around us through the prism of that need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;The need for Savior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of us need someone to help us break through our fixation. We need a booster, a shot in the arm so to speak, an infusion of the spirit to help us break free. We need the power of God to help us break free. We need a Savior. Jesus embodied that power in him; he is the Christ, the embodiment of the power of God. This is where the word savior comes into play. Most people in the Third World are functioning only at one level of awareness, which ever one that they are stuck in; unable to operate at other level; they are oblivious to any other level of awareness. This why you find even leaders and well educated people unable to create a better world for their people; they are in a state of fixation. What is usually fallow that state of fixation is a state of bewilderment and confusion? What I would like for you to do is to evaluate your life, see where you stand, on what level of awareness you are; what is it that is driving your life, what is your predominant need in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at the structure of human needs, see which level best describes your life, what is the need that motivates you the most. We all have needs, but which of these needs becomes an obsession for you. When everything else matter for you in life except fulfilling that need, you are in a state of fixation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are an individual, yet you are part of a collective. Your country is a collective. You may be free as an individual to flow form one level of awareness to the next yet your country as a collectively may not. A man is bound by the collective.&lt;br /&gt;From the one to the many&lt;br /&gt;Whatever God is going to do, he will do it first through the individual; then from the individual to the collective. As through sin death entered the world as such through one man humanity was saved; from the one through the many. We are individuals first then a collective, we are part of a collective, not the collective. &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/03/solution-for-third-world.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV4g6P7Oz1c9MSsH_P-gvctcLPg2F54hZxKfOzKLGquq0l7lFrCQ-K2UjJv4caYYBOXdZY3iEa6MU2sGX8awFM55xrEY3M55vljTs3R389ZcilQcJwZPRnCWyby6URFulOaLJoLK1-9ww/s72-c/levels_2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-3462169547240269834</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-10T05:02:58.220-08:00</atom:updated><title>A World in the Making!</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcA2jimMQzNpgfWEpjhgb1kFLXcHzhwoCsleUaVhOPdMbwOcNpAHlAlfupLcGfPvNTLNp7WblyLqvuUz1hkH345V_DEA03hpT398Amy93U3bAgkqYOPIviDfLdtsz1IBl7j4uvUiqE_Hc/s1600-h/events.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153679476649990818&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcA2jimMQzNpgfWEpjhgb1kFLXcHzhwoCsleUaVhOPdMbwOcNpAHlAlfupLcGfPvNTLNp7WblyLqvuUz1hkH345V_DEA03hpT398Amy93U3bAgkqYOPIviDfLdtsz1IBl7j4uvUiqE_Hc/s320/events.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/currentevents.html&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/currentevents.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A world to Come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many possible outcomes, yet no matter the outcome one thing is for certain, there is a shift, it is indisputable and no one can do anything about it. The winds of change are blowing, only God knows the outcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality Check&lt;br /&gt;The prediction for a win in New Hampshire for Senator Obama was dead on, except the report on Obama family put a damper on the voter’s enthusiasm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole country is trying to figure out how things can turn so quickly against Obama.&lt;br /&gt;The reason is simple; all you have to do is put the lines side by side and sort out the differences. CNN did that well when they aired a special on Obama family in Kenya. The lines coming out of these images depict poverty, stagnation and all the resulted effects of Negation. You may ask yourself, is Obama a champion for those who are victims of Negation, those that are left behind or a unitor; someone who can bridge the gap and help us overcome the disparities that separate us? One thing is for certain is that we are at a cross road where two opposing forces will intersect each other, the forces that drive humanity forward and the forces that restrained humanity backward; someone needs to facilitate that shift. Obama embodied that spirit, rather he becomes president or not, he will help reconcile the opposing forces that drive us apart. He will take us beyond the adversarial system that is driving this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for us, we can never know for sure the outcome, except in retrospect, recollecting the events that just passed. God made sure that it is that way for us. “Had they known , they would not have crucified Jesus”. God only knows why He raised a voice like Obama to point us toward change.&lt;br /&gt;A Better World&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/01/world-in-making.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcA2jimMQzNpgfWEpjhgb1kFLXcHzhwoCsleUaVhOPdMbwOcNpAHlAlfupLcGfPvNTLNp7WblyLqvuUz1hkH345V_DEA03hpT398Amy93U3bAgkqYOPIviDfLdtsz1IBl7j4uvUiqE_Hc/s72-c/events.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-6580815125522582154</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-09T03:51:38.654-08:00</atom:updated><title>The Embodiment of the Spirit</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4E0ieefR7bKuTyp0PYePa6Gq_AxhV7jfILz4nybcWD___Eg0sg1n-ju0PWlikg-mTEHGoyAKoNO7jxVZG02AdFdAJUiUBFSLFyajp2P-VNrqtVH3g-Yslr-l5yONvMZkcLNrEjjsYEM/s1600-h/idick2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153282432693279362&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4E0ieefR7bKuTyp0PYePa6Gq_AxhV7jfILz4nybcWD___Eg0sg1n-ju0PWlikg-mTEHGoyAKoNO7jxVZG02AdFdAJUiUBFSLFyajp2P-VNrqtVH3g-Yslr-l5yONvMZkcLNrEjjsYEM/s320/idick2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The embodiment of the spirit, the spirit of reconciliation that is, just like Mikail Gorbachev embodied the spirit of Perestroika or openness helped the Soviet Union made the transition from Communism to Capitalism without any bloodbath as such Barack Obama will help unite this country, reconcile the differences that separate &lt;us&gt;the American people without much (vacarme or fanfare ). He will do it because he has the spirit to do it. I hope that those who oppose change and prefer the status quo &lt;stay&gt;will embrace this change or even welcome it. All changes are for the better, because God is a God of the future not the past. The past is for the dead and God said that He is not God for the dead but for the living.&lt;br /&gt;Think of it; the past is the source of our trouble in the world today; a past that is trying to find expression in a world that it no longer fits in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few quotes for those who are resisting change.&lt;br /&gt;“Change is the essentiality of all things”&lt;br /&gt;“All things are in a state of becoming”&lt;br /&gt;“Change is the inevitable or the unavoidable condition of life”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who don’t embrace change are subject to be left behind: see Psychic Sailing&lt;br /&gt;at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/psychicsailing.html&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/psychicsailing.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let Christ heal your wounds, mend holes in your psyche so that the winds of change may not pass right through these holes and you remain unaffected. &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2008/01/embodiment-of-spirit.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4E0ieefR7bKuTyp0PYePa6Gq_AxhV7jfILz4nybcWD___Eg0sg1n-ju0PWlikg-mTEHGoyAKoNO7jxVZG02AdFdAJUiUBFSLFyajp2P-VNrqtVH3g-Yslr-l5yONvMZkcLNrEjjsYEM/s72-c/idick2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-3253323713060823962</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-18T07:56:54.705-08:00</atom:updated><title>Call on the Light:</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145342433783813954&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0gBGTp-xQwlmC7kU_wu5hyphenhyphenpIAHU9_pe6es8CGX322xlRJWH9TR_IenRnlW_ThcoXttIaHlzz9YdThme0EIO6NdyvTHvYCTS0J6T_ahEZOy5Oz1cdoQonHy4Ewa77IxatDPt_HU44kToc/s320/base_h2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Too complex and too intricate for us to sort out on our own, come to God; “Cast all your cares upon Him”, call on His name. “The entrance of thy word gives light”.

If you call on His name, He will answer you. This I speak from experience; He never failed me; if I call on Him sincerely, urgently and with fervor; he always answer. “The word is near thee, even in thy mouth; therefore speak the word, call on God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are still living in the kingdom of darkness; to get some light we must deliberately call for the light in order to cast the darkness of this world out of your lives. It will not happen willingly. We must deliberately do it and live the life style that will automatically increase our spiritual awareness and fills us up with the inner light. This way we can be in the light and yet still be in the darkness of this world. “I am the way, the life and the light”; His life style is the way to the light, it is a mean to acquire the light. “If a man walks with Me, he shall not walk in darkness but has he light of day and if he walks in the dark and stumble, it is because the light is not in him”. This is how we cast the darkness of this world out of our lives, we must live by the spirit. We must live a life that is conducive to the spirit. It is said that God will not touch us even with a ten foot pole, until we are ready to live by the rules and the constraints he set to guide our spirit. The selfless life prescribed by Jesus Christ is the life style that we must all live if we want to live in the light and not be at the mercy of the rulers of the darkness of this world. “If a man wants to follow Me, let him first deny himself and follow Me”. This is the selfless life that is required to follow Jesus Christ or to gain access to the spirit. That is if you still want to be spiritual and still be in the world. If you don’t want to retire from the world to achieve spiritual awareness, you must at least give up the self, that is your personal story and embrace the selfless life. “If a man wants to follow Me, let him first deny himself and takes up his cross and follow Me”. Besides denying ourselves that is renouncing the self, the personal story that inflates our egos, we must also embrace our humanity; that is we must embrace the short comings and the weaknesses of our fellow human beings, this is what Jesus meant by take up our cross. Do all of that and we shall surely guarantee to be in the light while still in the middle of the darkness of this world. We can surely fend ourselves against the rulers of the darkness of this world because we have the inner light to guide our path and illuminate the darkness of this world. There is an undeclared prerequisite to become a follower after the light, a seeker of knowledge, a seeker of truth or a follower of Jesus Christ; you must above all else love God and your fellow human beings. “Love ye one another by this they would know that you are my disciples”. There is a sign that becomes visible to the rest of the world around you; it is the resulted effect for following after the light. You become a lover and a champion for humanity. You automatically know how to treat others as you would like others to treat you and you become more forgiving and more giving. What was once a subject of weakness and shame for you is now your strength? You are no longer ashamed to love your fellow human beings and loving them is no longer a sign of weakness for you. People are no longer measuring your meekness for weakness. You are strong and more powerful than ever, yet you are fluid, flexible and gentle like a dove. Like the wind, you are quick to make the turn around obstacles in your path. You really can turn the other cheek by avoiding head on collision. People cannot read you, pin you down or put you in a mold like they use to. You are now a child of the Most High God. You are begotten by the spirit. “as such are those that are born of the spirit” Jesus said . Don’t fight the darkness of this world alone. When the world becomes too complex and to intricate for you to decipher, call upon God and cast all your cares upon Him. Call on his name, maintain the life style prescribed by Jesus, this is your ticket out of the darkness of this world. This life style is the way out of the darkness of this world. “I am the way and the life”&lt;br /&gt;“And for that He came, to undo the darkness of this world and to destroy the works of the devil”&lt;br /&gt;“Now is the ruler of this world cast out, the darkness of this world cast out”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;French&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Appel à la Lumière:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Trop complexe et trop intrigant pour nous de faire le triage entre les nôtres, (pour faire ressortir entre Nous-mêmes)&lt;br /&gt;Vient vers Dieu; &quot;Jetez tous vos soucis sur lui&quot;, donne la parole à Son nom. &quot;L&#39;entrée de sa parole donne la lumière&quot;.

Il ne se fera pas tout seul. Nous devons le faire délibérément et appliquer le style de vie qui augmente automatiquement notre conscience spirituelle et nous remplit à la lumière intérieure. De cette façon, nous pouvons être à la lumière tout en restant dans les ténèbres de ce monde. &quot;Je suis le chemin, la vie et la lumière&quot;; Son style de vie est le moyen de la lumière, il est un moyen d&#39;acquérir la lumière. &quot;Si un homme marche avec moi, il ne doit pas marcher dans les ténèbres, mais il a la lumière du jour et si il marche dans le noir et trébuché, c&#39;est parce que la lumière n&#39;est pas en lui&quot;. Voilà comment nous jeter les ténèbres de ce monde hors de nos vies, nous devons vivre par l&#39;esprit. Nous devons mener une vie qui soit propice à l&#39;esprit. Il est dit que Dieu ne nous touchent même avec un poteau de dix pieds, jusqu&#39;à ce que nous soyons prêts à vivre selon les règles et les contraintes Il a fixé pour guider notre esprit. L&#39;altruiste vie prescrit par Jésus Christ est le style de vie que nous devons tous vivre si nous voulons vivre dans la lumière et ne pas être à la merci des dirigeants de l&#39;obscurité de ce monde. &quot;Si un homme veut Me suivre, permettez-moi d&#39;abord nier lui-même et suivez moi&quot;. C&#39;est l&#39;abnégation de vie qui est nécessaire pour suivre Jésus Christ, ou pour avoir accès à l&#39;esprit. Voilà si vous souhaitez toujours être spirituel et toujours dans le monde. Si vous ne voulez pas prendre sa retraite du monde de réaliser conscience spirituelle, vous devez au moins renoncer à l&#39;autodétermination, qui est votre histoire personnelle et à embrasser la vie altruiste. &quot;Si un homme veut Me suivre, permettez-moi d&#39;abord nier lui-même et prenne sa croix et me suit&quot;. Hormis le déni lui-même qui renonçant à l&#39;autodétermination, l&#39;histoire personnelle qui gonfle notre ego, nous devons également embrasser notre humanité, qui est, nous devons embrasser le court arrivées et les faiblesses de nos frères humains, c&#39;est ce que Jésus entend par prendre jusqu&#39;à nos Croix. Est-ce que tout cela et nous allons certainement être garantie à la lumière tout en restant dans le milieu de l&#39;obscurité du monde. Nous pouvons certainement nous défendre contre les princes des ténèbres de ce monde, parce que nous avons la lumière intérieure pour guider et éclairer notre chemin les ténèbres de ce monde. Il existe toutefois une condition sine qua non pour devenir un disciple de suite après le feu, un chercheur du savoir, un chercheur de la vérité ou d&#39;un disciple de Jésus Christ, vous devez avant tout l&#39;amour de Dieu et de vos frères humains. &quot;Aimez vous les uns les autres par ce qu&#39;ils sachent que vous êtes mes disciples&quot;. Il est un signe qui devient visible pour le reste du monde autour de vous, c&#39;est l&#39;effet entraîné pour la suite après la lumière. Vous devenez un amoureux et un défenseur pour l&#39;humanité. Vous connaissez automatiquement façon de traiter les autres comme vous aimeriez autres de vous traiter et on devient plus indulgent et plus de donner. Ce qui était autrefois un sujet de la faiblesse et la honte pour vous est maintenant votre force? Vous n&#39;êtes plus honte d&#39;aimer vos frères humains et les aimant n&#39;est plus un signe de faiblesse pour vous. Les gens ne sont plus en mesure de la douceur de votre faiblesse. Vous êtes fort et plus puissant que jamais, vous êtes encore fluide, souple et douce comme une colombe. Comme le vent, vous n&#39;êtes pas tardé à faire le tour autour des obstacles sur votre chemin. Vous pouvez transformer vraiment l&#39;autre joue en évitant la tête de collision frontale. Les gens ne peuvent pas vous lire, vous broche ou vous mettre dans un moule, comme ils se servent pour. Vous êtes maintenant un enfant de Dieu Très-Haut. Vous êtes engendré par l&#39;esprit. &quot;En tant que tels sont ceux qui sont nés de l&#39;esprit&quot;, Jésus a dit. Ne pas lutter contre les ténèbres de ce monde seul. Quand le monde devient trop complexe et compliquée à déchiffrer pour vous, et demandons à Dieu tous vos soucis exprimés sur lui. Demandons à Son nom, maintenir le style de vie prescrit par Jésus, c&#39;est votre billet hors de l&#39;obscurité de ce monde.&lt;br /&gt;Ce style de vie est le moyen de sortir de l&#39;obscurité du monde. &quot;Je suis le chemin et la vie&quot; &quot;Et pour cela, il est venu, pour annuler l&#39;obscurité du monde et de détruire les œuvres du diable&quot; &quot;C&#39;est maintenant le prince de ce monde exprimés, les ténèbres de ce monde chassées&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://011a5d4.netsolhost.com/signup.html&quot;&gt;http://011a5d4.netsolhost.com/signup.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/call-on-light.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0gBGTp-xQwlmC7kU_wu5hyphenhyphenpIAHU9_pe6es8CGX322xlRJWH9TR_IenRnlW_ThcoXttIaHlzz9YdThme0EIO6NdyvTHvYCTS0J6T_ahEZOy5Oz1cdoQonHy4Ewa77IxatDPt_HU44kToc/s72-c/base_h2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-2255114905696154945</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-18T07:43:57.279-08:00</atom:updated><title>The Way it Should Be!</title><description>The way it Should be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was up to God, we will all live in paradise as He indented.

Our thoughts would flow only in one direction without opposition, only in the direction of possibilities. There would not be an adversarial system that is driving us to negate our fellow human beings. We would have embraced the shortcomings and weaknesses of fellow human beings. We would not use their demise to boast our egos, use them as pedestals to elevate ourselves. We would know how to treat others as we would like to be treated. We would not lord ourselves over others, just because we can. We would not use our position in life to restrain people, keep them behind, and deny them their possibilities in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La manière donc qu’il doit! Si c&#39;était à Dieu, nous vivons tous dans le paradis comme Il a voulu. Il ne serait pas un monde pour les Blancs et d&#39;un monde séparé pour les Noirs.

Il ne serait pas un système qui est de nous conduire à nier nos frères humains. Nous aurions embrassé les lacunes et les faiblesses des autres êtres humains. Nous ne serions pas utiliser leur disparition se vanter notre ego, les utiliser comme socle d&#39;élever soi-même. Nous aimerions savoir comment traiter les autres comme nous voudrions être traités. Nous ne serions pas nous-mêmes seigneur rapport à d&#39;autres, simplement parce que nous le pouvons.

Tit Bits of Awareness is what this series is all about. “Believe in God and believe also in Me” the author of these words is Jesus. Jesus is the light of the world because the life style He prescribed for us to fallow guarantees us an increase in our spirit. There is no inner light without the guidance of the spirit. We need the spirit in everything. Everything we do and everything we are repose on the spirit. It is the spirit that gives life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Let him deny himself” this is the prerequisite to have the inner guidance of the spirit in your life. We must deny the self. Selflessness is a requirement; that is we must give up our personal history, give up the very things that elevate us above others. Personal history is a hindrance for those who seek the truth, for those who want to walk in the light for those who don’t want to be part of the darkness of this world. “I am the way, the life and the light, if a man walk with Me, he shall not walk in darkness, but has the light of day” there is one prerequisite to have the light of Christ in your life that is you must give up your personal history. Personal history pin you down and keep you bound in the past. You are not fluid and flexible enough to go around the curve of time or quicken enough to respond to the prompt of the spirit. Personal history makes you dull and heavy. To walk with Christ is to be born of the spirit. Like the wind you are free, fluid, flexible and capable of making the turn when you come around the bend of time. You are able to make the shift, the sudden shift when the time comes. Jesus said that those that are born of the spirit are like t he wind; they are capable of responding to the most sudden or subtleness of change. “If a man wants to follow me, let him deny himself” this is the hardest thing for anyone of us to do, yet the most significant step we must take if we want to get access to the light. We are all doing ourselves, no exception to this fact, even when we do good; we are still doing ourselves. What is wrong with this self is when we use our personal history to boast our egos.&lt;br /&gt;Red Neck and stiff Neck people are people that are pinned down, weighted down by personal history. They reminiscing on the past, holding on to a world that is no longer, hold pass glories where are they now, the Incas of Peru, the Aztec of Mexico, and the Pharoh of Egypt. They are memories of worlds that will never be again.&lt;br /&gt;Personal history is a burden for those who want to move on to the march of time; it makes people stiff, rigid, inflexible and stiff necked.&lt;br /&gt;“And God said to Moses: these people are stiff necked people, I will not go down in their midst, lest I consume them on the way” People need to be fluid, flexible, like the wind. Jesus said that: “the wind blow where it wishes and thou hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence it comes, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are fluid enough to know when there is a shift and flexible enough to go around the bend of time when time stop moving in a straight line and flexible enough to move with the winds of change when they are blowing in anew direction as such are those that are born of the spirit. Stiff necked people, people that are those that are stuck in the past reminiscing of the past, holding on to a remnant of a world that never be again.&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;“The rulers of the darkness of this world” we wage a war everyday against the rulers of the darkness of this world. Remember that this kingdom is the kingdom of darkness; darkness rules this world. It is a war we wage until the very end of our lives. We fight to be in the light; we fight against principalities that seek to put us in darkness. This world is shrouded in mystery, hidden agendas that we don’t know anything about. We are most of the time in the dark just to discover that we are used for something other than what we want or intended. We have an enemy and his aim is to keep us in the dark.

Jésus est la lumière du monde parce que le style de vie qu’Il a prescrit pour nous de jachère nous garantit une augmentation de notre esprit. Il n&#39;y a pas de lumière intérieure sans l&#39;orientation de l&#39;esprit. Nous avons besoin de l&#39;esprit dans tout. Tout ce que nous faisons et nous sommes tout repos de l&#39;esprit. C&#39;est l&#39;esprit qui donne la vie.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Qu&#39;il nier lui-même&quot; c&#39;est la condition sine qua non pour avoir le guidage de l&#39;esprit dans votre vie. Nous devons nous denier le soit. Altruisme est une exigence, c&#39;est que nous devons abandonner notre histoire personnelle, de renoncer à tout ce qui nous élever au-dessus des autres. Histoire personnelle est un obstacle pour ceux qui cherchent la vérité, pour ceux qui veulent marcher à la lumière pour ceux qui ne veulent pas faire partie de l&#39;obscurité de ce monde. &quot;Je suis le chemin, la vie et la lumière, si un homme marche avec moi, il ne doit pas marcher dans les ténèbres, mais a la lumière du jour,&quot; il est une condition préalable à la lumière du Christ dans votre vie qui est, vous devez Renoncer à votre histoire personnelle. Broches histoire personnelle et vous vous tenir lié dans le passé. Vous n&#39;êtes pas fluide et suffisamment souple pour faire le tour de la courbe de temps ou d&#39;accélérer suffisamment pour répondre à l&#39;invite de l&#39;esprit. Histoire personnelle vous rend terne et lourd. À marcher avec le Christ doit être né de l&#39;esprit. Comme le vent, vous êtes libre, fluide, souple et capable de faire le tour quand vous venez autour de la courbe du temps. Vous êtes en mesure de l&#39;évolution, un changement soudain, le moment venu. Jésus a dit que ceux qui sont nés de l&#39;esprit sont comme l e vent, ils sont capables de répondre à la plus soudaine ou subtilité du changement. &quot;Si un homme veut Me suivre, qu&#39;il renonce à lui-même&quot; c&#39;est le plus difficile pour quiconque d&#39;entre nous de faire, mais la plus importante que nous devons suivre si nous voulons avoir accès à la lumière. Nous faisons tout nous-mêmes, ne déroge pas à la réalité, même si nous faisons bien, nous sommes encore faire nous-mêmes. Quel est le problème avec cette autonomie, c&#39;est quand nous utilisons notre histoire personnelle se vanter notre ego. Cou rouge et cou raide personnes sont des gens qui sont coincer, lestée par histoire personnelle. Ils se remémorer sur le passé, sur la tenue d&#39;un monde qui n&#39;est plus, tenir passer gloires où ils sont maintenant, les Incas du Pérou, les Aztèques du Mexique et le Pharaon de l&#39;Égypte. Ils sont les souvenirs des mondes qui ne sera plus jamais. Histoire personnelle est un fardeau pour ceux qui veulent passer à la marche du temps, elle fait du peuple raide, rigide, inflexible et rigide cou. &quot;Et Dieu dit à Moïse: ces personnes sont des personnes à cou raide, je ne vais pas entrer dans leur milieu, de peur que je ne les consommer sur le chemin&quot; Les gens doivent être fluides, souples, comme le vent. Jésus a dit que: &quot;le vent où il veut et tu entends sa voix, mais ne peut pas dire d&#39;où il vient et ou il va: tant est que chacun est né de l&#39;Esprit&quot;. Ils sont fluides assez pour savoir quand il y a un transfert et suffisamment souple pour aller dans le virage de l&#39;époque où le mouvement s&#39;arrête de temps en ligne droite et suffisamment souple pour évoluer avec le vent de changement souffle quand ils sont à nouveau dans la direction en tant que tels sont ceux Qui naissent de l&#39;esprit. Cou raide, les personnes qui sont ceux qui sont bloqués dans le passé, de se remémorer le passé, sur la tenue d&#39;un vestige d&#39;un monde qui ne reviendra plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Les dirigeants de l&#39;obscurité du monde&quot; nous mener une guerre quotidienne contre les dirigeants des ténèbres de ce monde. N&#39;oubliez pas que ce royaume est le royaume des ténèbres; obscurité règles de ce monde. C&#39;est une guerre que nous salaire jusqu&#39;à la fin de nos vies. Nous luttons pour être à la lumière, nous luttons contre les principautés qui cherchent à nous mettre dans l&#39;obscurité. Ce monde est un mystère, les intentions cachées que nous ne savons rien. Nous sommes la plupart du temps dans l&#39;obscurité vient de découvrir que nous sommes utilisés pour autre chose que ce que nous voulons ou destinés. Nous avons un ennemi, et son objectif est de nous tenir dans l&#39;obscurité. Nous avons besoin d&#39;un nouveau mode de vie qui peuvent nous garantir une part de la lumière. La lumière que nous recherchons est dans le style de vie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/awareness-in-nuthsell.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5LAcmHlZQ0nVZOujNb-wQ9uXeuIGYwI7AijGput8Jwgl9SOx1Z2tPTUR6wU-Tp18YjBwCdG5TsxW-UiayLKxdMV0M4iHowggvEIwacsosokkCWBmcbCdN373Umjp-3FxXnylfqEjba8/s72-c/idick2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-4227987158262394657</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Dec 2007 02:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-30T19:02:21.299-08:00</atom:updated><title>Headline: Palestinians Found Hope in Christ</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Js-gvdO1iJCayw55Nc7BUJD7xar68JAK_fiqkY_QBDEfFu_YxkmEgwZYG1goRIgQovXrYnI_djGkVu1zRQC7SHE24pZQdDT6Mo6IwO4bHNQDW5zF5Tczytp4CT-vcWRckpufL2jRCFg/s1600-r/base_h2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw38ZcAymtBkkaI5o3oPI1EwFzs8PZseSYp3plrGhqhxToOdjf-paBfO-BcG9PI-jGfOHhXKyGBaeFoX19HGkBjyQSkF3itiKYtkulfzrZmtnXgnFScn6GOB-IV2DVPwNoh4Zb_zQZkU/s320/base_h2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138834456458911986&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXe7SjQZKa-DuMuGAD83s2lDpUG27MlE7kNtShzJJCBEpxt3XJGA2UXfJqf3tZahZz9VmEypFTjd5pJIXy7wRvPNAPbrBzv4FYcTqtd-mDIjzk-XoFtju5l3W7r0-qmhvuiYWydvlbYYw/s1600-r/currentEvents.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz-DLhRxEygFu1dEhFsDOWXZSYBtRB7YrfhV7l-JA5YpN5mfwdsfr6ZX1gN5HRcQdGuY5gzKCwJeCmsfLCBSOMFiRjg5gycHh34kK93edPm36EfWDAmW2ULkJOi3_Wl3kSmZwc89jysck/s320/currentEvents.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138834250300481762&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;“And hope showed up in the form of Jesus Christ” &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/Newsletter.html#HOPE&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/Newsletter_2.html#HOPE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;he best hope for the Palestinian people is Christ; and I say that with utmost humility and without arrogance. Had they accept Christ as their personal savior, they would have a homeland by now; this is a fact not a supposition. Simple mathematical equation, had they accept Christ as their personal Savior &lt;span style=&quot;text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;e would have baptized them with Spirit and fire, heighten their spiritual awareness and make them aware of their oneness with the rest of humanity which include Israel. God had made of humanity one blood and one flesh but they cannot see that until they make the spiritual shift necessary that will allow them to perceive the oneness in all beings. Instead of going against the grain, they would have go with the flow and allow God to make way for them. If we are one, then there is no division, no competition, no separation then no rivalry, simple but difficult to accept until there is a shift in their awareness.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is a matter of perception&lt;/b&gt;, how they perceive themselves in relation to the rest of the world. Only Christ can enlarge their perception and allow them to perceive the oneness in all human beings, Why Christ You may ask? It is so because perception is a matter of spirit and Christ has the power to baptize them with spirit and heighten their spiritual awareness. What separate the Jews and the Arabs or Israelites and Palestinian is their perception. Jesus Christ said that believe in God and believe also in Me; and if you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your filth. (Sins)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Literarily means that if you don’t believe that Jesus is the One sent by God you will stay in your present condition, only Christ can heal their bruised egos and help them get out of themselves and embrace each other as one.&lt;/p&gt;                    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/todays-headline-palestinians-found-hope.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw38ZcAymtBkkaI5o3oPI1EwFzs8PZseSYp3plrGhqhxToOdjf-paBfO-BcG9PI-jGfOHhXKyGBaeFoX19HGkBjyQSkF3itiKYtkulfzrZmtnXgnFScn6GOB-IV2DVPwNoh4Zb_zQZkU/s72-c/base_h2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-7166150002820755660</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-10T11:45:08.884-08:00</atom:updated><title>Treat others as you would like them treat you</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYI2MBC793EpfH5fJ4s2lpW0Ti0lmUs9FDFLmyzjAP5IWZH1N-o537Nb6Hw5GEweRfstXNQzRCJtCKNrcMVB_GthT12mYj6vIkz-CA0jUuUzcjc6dsAIpjM5aH-L51p8YA7yNsmy0Fvg4/s1600-h/blog2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131298684712373170&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYI2MBC793EpfH5fJ4s2lpW0Ti0lmUs9FDFLmyzjAP5IWZH1N-o537Nb6Hw5GEweRfstXNQzRCJtCKNrcMVB_GthT12mYj6vIkz-CA0jUuUzcjc6dsAIpjM5aH-L51p8YA7yNsmy0Fvg4/s320/blog2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Simple lesson but powerful truth that when apply to our daily lives becomes part of our life style. Salvation is in the life, the life we live or choose to live. This simple lesson is the key for the salvation of all the Third World problems. The key to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and human diseases in the world, yes I say diseases because eighty percent of the world known diseases are the direct result of poverty and lack. This simple lesson found in the teachings of Jesus Christ holds the key to change the human condition in the Third world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I look at the Third World countries, they all have one thing in common, there is one communality that makes them all the same, they all have one common problem; it is the people. It is the people that make them all the same, not the countries. There is a lack of respect and reverence for their fellow human beings that is part of their inner disposition. It is part of their lives and readily accepted as a mean to separate, to elevate and give status. One gains merit by forcefully placing oneself above others; they don’t treat others as they would like to be treated. This frame of mind is in the thoughts, the mode of life they live. The flip side of this it is a true reflection of their true identity. They see their possessions as an extension of themselves, as things that give them the right to lord themselves over others. The inherent rights that are God given to all are override by rights given by their possessions. they have yet to learn their true identity as a human being. They constantly compete to elevate themselves above their fellow human beings, consuming the fruit of better than in the process, giving entrance to the devil to operate in their lives. Here is something that you did not know about consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is in fact to use one’s position in life to step on others, use one’s knowledge of better than to separate oneself from others, to elevate oneself above others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the world to be a school of learning and that the people of the Third world are in a classroom. Their countries are classrooms waiting to learn this simple lesson from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Hence they learn this simple lesson, making it part of their daily lives, they will be graduated to a higher level of learning. This is their ticket out of poverty, hunger and diseases to an accelerate life of success and prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whose father will withhold good things from his children until they learn obedience and able to emulate his ways, until they become a true reflection of their father. Then the father will not withhold any good things from them if they know their true identity and treat each other accordingly, God will release them from their present condition, elevate them to a higher level &lt;of&gt;, give them the reward that others are already enjoying for their obedience, make them part of the blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right identity is the solution for all of the Third World problems. The people need to learn this simple lesson from Christ. “Do unto others as you would like others do unto you”. They need to know that we are all children of the most High God. There is a certain reverence that comes with this knowing and that has to become part of their routine. If we start looking at countries of the world as classrooms and the world as an institution of learning, we will begin to see the need to learn the lessons; accustom ourselves with the teachings of Christ, learn them and make them parts of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;Salvation from poverty, hunger and diseases is in the life we live; let us make these teachings parts of our lives. If you don’t believe that the Third World countries are classrooms or levels of awareness take a look at countries like Haiti, Nigeria, and Ghana. Learn their customs, get familiar with them, get close to them, see the way the people live, watch their movies, learn from them, see the communality in their way of life. The people have no respect and no reverence for their fellow human beings. To be powerful for them is to step on the weak, the poor, use them as step stools to stand on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the literal teachings of Jesus Christ at Bite Size Awareness.com: “Life Style”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+life+style&amp;amp;qfront=life+style&amp;amp;se=on&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+life+style&amp;amp;qfront=life+style&amp;amp;se=on&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as the teachings of Don Juan in Carlos castaneda novels says that the way to power is in the life style. The lessons of Christ or Don Juan are not banal metaphors and parables; they are gate way to the spirit. It is the spirit that gives power. There is a certain way that you carry yourself that ensure you a pathway to the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: the flip side of treating others beneath ourselves is in the fact that we do not know our own identity. If we know who we are, we would know that we are of God, children of the most High God; had we known that we are all God’s children, would not accept others mistreatments nor would we mistreat others. I personally think that the next Global Initiative will be to make people aware that the world is an institution of learning and that the countries of the world are classrooms with different levels of awareness. How we graduate and move on to higher levels depends on how fast we learn the lessons of life, of man, of nature and of God. Check some of the lessons found in the teachings of Jesus Christ: turning the other cheek= seek alternative to resolve conflicts, avoid heads on collision, do unto others as you would like others do unto you = treat others as yourself, take up your cross = embrace your humanity, embrace the shortcomings and weaknesses of your fellow human beings, deny yourself= stop consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil or better than, put yourselves above others, forgive one another, be the good Samaritan, that is to give to the needy, they are not just simple lessons, but levels of awareness.&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to rss fee: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paste this in your RSS reader: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingForums-Blogs-Zbob&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingForums-Blogs-Zbob&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/treat-others-as-you-would-like-them.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYI2MBC793EpfH5fJ4s2lpW0Ti0lmUs9FDFLmyzjAP5IWZH1N-o537Nb6Hw5GEweRfstXNQzRCJtCKNrcMVB_GthT12mYj6vIkz-CA0jUuUzcjc6dsAIpjM5aH-L51p8YA7yNsmy0Fvg4/s72-c/blog2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-6758190794866562540</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Nov 2007 05:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-07T21:17:10.375-08:00</atom:updated><title>Something is Fundamentally Wrong</title><description>Something is fundamentally wrong in this world and we cannot wait for God to fulfill His promise to fix it. God said: “I know the things that I have for you, to give you a future and a hope”. God intent is to fix things and we are in the waiting phase of that promise to be fulfilled; the first phase has already been concluded. We are now sitting with Christ to see the realization of that promise; God said: “Seat down to my right, until I make of your enemies your foot stool”. Just a little while longer, things will get alright as God promised us. Are there people who are enemies of humanity you may ask? You can bet your money on that there are. If there were none why is there so much suffering, lack and wants in the world when there are so many resources available. Why our resources are been squandered by the leaders of countries like Nigeria, Congo and a host of others. Why despites the resources that are given by God to improve the living condition are been squandered away while the people live in sheer misery. Well these are the works of darkness, the works of the devil, the works of enemies of humanity. They are carried out by the emissaries of the devil, doing the bidding of the devil. God sent His Son to undo the works of darkness and to destroy the works of the devil. “For that He came, to destroy the works of the devil”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something is wrong in the leadership of the countries of the world, especially the leaders of the countries of the Third World. They are driven to horde; they want so much for themselves that they enter into a state of mental fixation. They loose all lucidity and clarity of mind. They are confused and no longer able to discern right from wrong. They are driven by the spirit of bewilderment. They try to maintain power at all cost even at the expense of the welfare of the people that they are sworn to protect and lead.  Something is fundamentally wrong with these leaders or why would they continue to horde so much wealth, while their people are suffering. What are they going to do with all that wealth, when people hate them and try to kill them for what they are doing? they are living in fear. Why do they choose that path when they could have chosen to do good and receive love in return for their good deeds. Something is fundamentally wrong. See blame it on the devil: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/Newsletter_1.html&quot;&gt;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/Newsletter_1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you help them? They are also the victims of the devil, sick people that need our love and compassion to help them out of their dilemma. They need Christ to set them free.  “To set free the captives” is one of Christ mission on earth. These leaders are indeed slaves of the devil or their own greed,; they could have much more with open hands instead of clench fists that hold so little.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/something-is-fundamentally-wrong.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-3142746663243558122</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Oct 2007 02:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-25T19:39:24.374-07:00</atom:updated><title>Escape from Poverty: the God kind of Way</title><description>Here is how to escape from poverty, as an individual, as a collective, stating with you, then the family, then the country and then the whole world, one person at a time. What you learn from this site you will apply to your life, live it with your family, become an example for your fellow human beings, your interaction with people in your country, spreading what you learn to the rest of the world. This is the aim of these writings. Here are the step by step instructions on how to escape poverty using the word of God and experiences people who escaped poverty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three steps for overcoming poverty that we will discuss in this page.&lt;br /&gt;A_ Practice the presence of God&lt;br /&gt;B_ Overcome your fear&lt;br /&gt;C_ Develop your spiritual awareness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A_ Practice the presence of God daily&lt;br /&gt;To change the trend of life for yourself you must make a conscious decision to seek the light rather than darkness. Meditate, contemplate and ponder on the truth that God is the only power in your life, a loving power that provides for all things in life. Practice the presence of God and you will experience the meaning of these words: “the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. He shall meet all of your needs according to His riches and glory.&lt;br /&gt;When you understand that truth and start seeking only the presence of God and the power of God within you, you will soon realize that nothing can touch you but God’s love. You will know the meaning of these words: “He who dwelt in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty”. Knowing this truth and it will become your shield and buckler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B_ Fear is your enemy, overcome your fear is the second step&lt;br /&gt;“Fear not and know that I am God, besides Me there is no other”. These words alone should be sufficient to help you overcome your fear. If you know that God is individualized inside of everyone and is the only power that exists in the universe, you should have no fear of anyone because you know the truth about them. They are all of God and by God.  You must trust people and welcome new experiences for God is now the only power that works in your life. Isn’t it strange that when the angels of God meet people, they always say, fear not as if that it is the password that will make communication possible with them.  They say fear not because fear is a stumbling block that keep people from perceiving the spiritual world around them. The angels are spiritual beings but fear will turn them into ordinary beings just like you and I. if we were able to elevate our mind from fear we would be able to escape suffering and sorrow. Separating us and robbing us of our spiritual awareness is a state of fear. Don Juan the character in Carlos Castaneda novels says that fear is the first enemy in our path to wisdom or enlightenment. We must first conquer our fear if we want to become aware of the spiritual world around us. Since the spiritual world is the causal world, the cause for the material world, we cannot affect the material world without first get a handle of the spiritual world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C_ Develop our spiritual awareness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right identity is the first requirement before we can achieve spiritual awareness. Who is man you may ask? Answering this question, the bible says that man is a spirit being, clothed in flesh; he is the breath of God encased in a human body. Identifying yourself with the spirit inside of you is the first step in developing spiritual awareness.&lt;br /&gt;There are forces at work in the world which you have no control. They exert their influence over you by driving you with their impulses and you behave accordingly despite of yourself. Some of these forces seem terrible, because they come to do away with you; they restrain you, keep you behind, and cut you off out of the possibilities of this world. An example of these forces on humanity is in the case of black people. The impulse to negate and to cut off blacks out of the possibilities of this world comes from the forces for Negation. I want to let you know that these forces can only influence you subconsciously, because you are not aware of them you don’t know that they exist, you just feel them, you see the result of their influence on people around you yet you are not aware of them directly(consciously). These forces that restrained you are indeed powerful but be of good sheer, know that their power are diminished as God made revelation such as this possible for you to hear. Truths that were once hidden from you are now made available to you, bringing you awareness, awareness not only for you to be aware of their influence but to overcome them.&lt;br /&gt;“My people perish for lack of knowledge” It will be naïve for you to believe that there is no opposing power in this world and that there are no forces at work in the world restraining you and trying to keep you behind. You must know that they exist and eventually why they exist. Why they exist, is a subject for another discussion, but the fact that they exert their influence on you is important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know this fact that their reign of power over the human race is at an end. Their days of terror are gone. They have spread terror in the heart of humanity in the past in the form of apartheid, James Crow Laws, the Holocaust, slavery. God has literally broken their hold on humanity; truths that were hidden about them are now made to come to light. Recounting their influences on humanity, it was not more than fifty years ago that it was impossible for a Blackman to stand next o a Whiteman as equals. The disparities that separate them were enormous; blacks were restrained on every levels of existence, spiritually, mentally and physically. Without a special gift from God to help a Blackman free from the influence of Negation, a Blackman was doomed to suffer the lowest that this life has to offer. He was cut off and cut out of the possibilities of t his world. As a result a Blackman has no recourse but to become secondary citizen, subjugated to be servant for the Whiteman. God was not pleased with this situation for humanity; seeing the end from the beginning, He made provision through His Son Jesus Christ. He made provision for His Son to come down to earth in order to destroy the works of the devil. Keeping blacks behind was a way for the devil to sustain his adversarial system, his works of darkness.&lt;br /&gt;What is darkness you may ask? Darkness is the unconscious; the world that we live and experience yet have no real conscious or awareness of what behind it. What behind it affects us yet we are not aware that we are affected. This is the darkness of this world; this is the world that Jesus came to destroy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now is the darkness of this world cast out, the ruler of this world cast out”. White privilege is not an invention of white people; it is a fact that they are only acknowledged. It is a fact that they are privileged in this world to succeed because they are affirmed while blacks are negated. Equally truth is the fact that whites are affirmed in the world, blacks are negated, restrained, cut off and cut out of the possibilities of this world, while whites excel and prosper, blacks are restrained and stagnate, left to lag behind. Why is this so you may ask? It is so because without this duality in human existence, there will not be an adversarial system to drive humanity. Blacks are the step stools upon which humanity stands; blacks are the back splash by which to contrast the achievements of mankind. To resort differences between blacks and whites is to maintain the adversarial system, the driving force behind the acceleration and the stagnation of humanity, the machinery that maintain humanity continuously consuming the fruit of better than, the knowledge of good and evil.Subscribe to RSS feed: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/escape-from-poverty-god-kind-of-way.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-2831164431277538519</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-23T17:00:01.045-07:00</atom:updated><title>Affirmative Action</title><description>Affirmative Action&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God in His infinite wisdom and Majesty look down on humanity and said to Himself: “that there is no way in hell they will get back to me without some help. With the enemy in their midst, blocking every blessing, spreading darkness around them, enticing them to stay away from Me; I must do something. I must make it easy for them to get back to Me. They need not retreat from their daily activities, stay in a monastery for years, live in a cave nor meditate under a tree for days to find Me. Since they have forgotten that I am spirit and have lost touch with the spirit; I will send the One who will baptize them with spirit and fire, rekindle the spirit in them. I will send My Son that will serve as a ladder bridging earth and heaven, teaching them the way to the spirit. Upon this ladder they can climb to heaven to Me and I can send down gifts and blessing to them. Whosoever will to find Me, shall find Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affirmative action was first devised by God as a mean of last result to make a way otherwise impossible for people to make on their own. It is a mean to bypass the opposition, bypassing those who stand in the way of those who cannot help themselves, stealing their rights to the blessing, keeping them out of the abundance and the possibilities of this world. See: Cut off and cut out of the possibilities and the attainments of this world, “Negation” &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+negation&amp;amp;qfront=negation&amp;amp;se=on&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+negation&amp;amp;qfront=negation&amp;amp;se=on&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we meet someone we either affirm or negate that person; are you driven to negate, do you ever questioned why there is such impulses rising inside of you. White privilege is the affirmation that one gets when one enters this world that one is favored to succeed. This affirmation should extend to all human beings, however this world is too complex and too intricate for us to understand the reason why some are negated and some are affirmed, but be certain that God made provision for us all. “For that He came, to undo the works of darkness, to destroy the works of the devil, now is the darkness of this world cast out, the ruler of this world cast out”. If you have been negated for any reason in this world, take solace in these words that we are at the breaking point, a point in the flow of time when God intervenes directly in our lives to minister a change.&lt;br /&gt;See breaking point: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+breaking+point&amp;amp;qfront=breaking+point&amp;amp;se=on&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+breaking+point&amp;amp;qfront=breaking+point&amp;amp;se=on&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/affirmative-action.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-9108677245443936017</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-22T09:35:36.608-07:00</atom:updated><title>Third World Solution</title><description>Treat others as you would like them treat you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple lesson but powerful truth that when apply to our daily lives becomes part of our life style. Salvation is in the life, the life we live or choose to live. This simple lesson is the key for the salvation of all the Third World problems. The key to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and human diseases in the world, yes I say diseases because eighty percent of the world known diseases are the direct result of poverty and lack. This simple lesson found in the teachings of Jesus Christ holds the key to change the human condition in the Third world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I look at the Third World countries, they all have one thing in common, there is one communality that makes them all the same, they all have one common problem; it is the people. It is the people that make them all the same, not the countries. There is a lack of respect and reverence for their fellow human beings that is part of their inner disposition. It is part of their lives and readily accepted as a mean to separate, to elevate and give status. One gains merit by forcefully placing oneself above others; they don’t treat others as they would like to be treated. This frame of mind is in the thoughts, the mode of life they live. The flip side of this it is a true reflection of their true identity. They see their possessions as an extension of themselves, as things that give them the right to lord themselves over others. The inherent rights that are God given to all are override by rights given by their possessions. they have yet to learn their true identity as a human being. They constantly compete to elevate themselves above their fellow human beings, consuming the fruit of better than in the process, giving entrance to the devil to operate in their lives. Here is something that you did not know about consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is in fact to use one’s  position in life to step on others, use one’s knowledge of better than to separate oneself from others, to elevate oneself above others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the world to be a school of learning and that the people of the Third world are in a classroom. Their countries are classrooms waiting to learn this simple lesson from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Hence they learn this simple lesson, making it part of their daily lives, they will be graduated to a higher level of learning. This is their ticket out of poverty, hunger and diseases to an accelerate life of success and prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whose father will withhold good things from his children until they learn obedience and able to emulate his ways, until they become a true reflection of their father. Then the father will not withhold any good things from them if they know their true identity and treat each other accordingly, God will release them from their present condition, elevate them to a higher level &lt;of&gt;, give them the reward that others are already enjoying for their obedience, make them part of the blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right identity is the solution for all of the Third World problems. The people need to learn this simple lesson from Christ. “Do unto others as you would like others do unto you”. They need to know that we are all children of the most High God. There is a certain reverence that comes with this knowing and that has to become part of their routine. If we start looking at countries of the world as classrooms and the world as an institution of learning, we will begin to see the need to learn the lessons; accustom ourselves with the teachings of Christ, learn them and make them parts of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;Salvation from poverty, hunger and diseases is in the life we live; let us make these teachings parts of our lives. If you don’t believe that the Third World countries are classrooms or levels of awareness take a look at countries like Haiti, Nigeria, and Ghana. Learn their customs, get familiar with them, get close to them, see the way the people live, watch their movies, learn from them, see the communality in their way of life. The people have no respect and no reverence for their fellow human beings. To be powerful for them is to step on the weak, the poor, use them as step stools to stand on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the literal teachings of Jesus Christ at Bite Size Awareness.com: “Life Style”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+life+style&amp;amp;qfront=life+style&amp;amp;se=on&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.bitesizeawareness.com+life+style&amp;amp;qfront=life+style&amp;amp;se=on&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as the teachings of Don Juan in Carlos castaneda novels says that the way to power is in the life style. The lessons of Christ or Don Juan are not banal metaphors and parables; they are gate way to the spirit. It is the spirit that gives power. There is a certain way that you carry yourself that ensure you a pathway to the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: the flip side of treating others beneath ourselves is in the fact that we do not know our own identity. If we know who we are, we would know that we are of God, children of the most High God; had we known that we are all God’s children, would not accept others mistreatments nor would we mistreat others. I personally think that the next Global Initiative will be to make people aware that the world is an institution of learning and that the countries of the world are classrooms with different levels of awareness. How we graduate and move on to higher levels depends on how fast we learn the lessons of life, of man, of nature and of God. Check some of the lessons found in the teachings of Jesus Christ: turning the other cheek= seek alternative to resolve conflicts, avoid heads on collision, do unto others as you would like others do unto you = treat others as yourself, take up your cross = embrace your humanity, embrace the shortcomings and weaknesses of your fellow human beings, deny yourself= stop consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil or better than, put yourselves above others, forgive one another, be the good Samaritan, that is to give to the needy,  they are not just simple lessons, but levels of awareness.&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to rss fee: &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&quot;&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paste this in your RSS reader</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/third-world-solution.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-6194854808864647338</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Sep 2007 23:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-29T16:56:31.955-07:00</atom:updated><title>Making the Transition</title><description>How do you make the transition from a mold of poverty to a life of prosperity?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I want to help you make the transition; break the mold, cross the lines and boundaries that defined your individual or collective existence. You can break the mold from within and from without, don’t let people pin you down with their thoughts. Do not conform to their expectations; find yourself in the past, present and future as defined by God not man.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Covenant relationship is the key to power and wealth. God says that you shall not envy others for it is the He that gave them the ability to prosper, to have wealth and to have a life of accelerated living so that He can establish His covenant. Therefore partake in the blood that was shed for you so that God can establish the new covenant with you through Christ. Christ came so that you may have live and partake in the abundance of life. You may ask how I can partake in the abundance of this life and experience the plentiful life as those that I envy for their wealth and prosperity. Well the answer is simple; you must first become son and having a son ship relationship with God. You must first be imbued with the spirit of God because whatever God does or will do, He does it by His spirit. God is spirit and Jesus is the igniter who ignites the spirit in you. How does Jesus do that you may ask? The answer is simple; He does it through a life style. This life style begins first with the acknowledgement that God is the only true God and Jesus is His mouth piece, the One who connects you with Him. Second love God with all your heart, treat others as you would like to be treated; avoid heads on collisions, seek alternatives to resolve your conflicts that is turning the other cheek; embrace each other short comings and weaknesses, that is embracing your humanity or take up your cross; deny the self, for it is this self that separates you from God and from your fellow human beings. Every time you promote the self, boasting your ego, you are consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil; you are renewing access to the devil in your life. “Lift up your heart and mind to be aware, to understand and to know that the Divine Presence, the I am is the source of your abundance” Greater He that is in me that he that is in the world” “Cast all your cares upon Him” How the I am, the Divine presence lives in me you may ask? The answer is simple: you must first dwell in the word of God; you must renew your mind and heart to know. It is this knowing that allows you to discover the presence of God in you. “The lavishing, unfailing abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the universe in you” therefore, the Lord is your shepherd, you shall not want. I want to help you make the transition from a Third World mentality to a lavish; accelerate state of mind where everything is quicken. Just like Jesus said” “before you ask, the answer is already provided”. Therefore ask what you will and it shall be given unto you; because you are a child of God. Your spirit answers to His spirit. You have the Mind of Christ in you. You are now a conscious human being, not a weed in the wind at the mercy of the whims of nature. “You are conscious of the inner Presence as the lavishing Abundance. Therefore you may say: “my consciousness is filled with the Light and the Truth”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;visit my site: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitesizeawareness.com/&quot;&gt;www.bitesizeawareness.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or email me: &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:zbob@bitesizeawareness.com&quot;&gt;zbob@bitesizeawareness.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus came to help you make the connection to God your source for prosperity, the One that is the source of abundance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I came so that you may have life and have it more abundantly&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an all pervasive mentality common in the Third World; it is that people in the Third World feel that they need some one other than Jesus to serve as mediator between them and God. They feel unworthy to come boldly before God. They need a saint, an ancestor to mediate their needs before God. As a result they never get to the source of their abundance themselves, they end up with a third rated consciousness that cannot rise up to the level of awareness where they can receive inspiration from God. They forget that their ancestors are too busy themselves praying God for their own needs to care to pray for others. They don&#39;t feel the love as a child feels love and security from a father. To boldly ask God directly for what they want. God is unfailing abundance, the source of all prosperity. He is the Omni presence substance of the universe individualized in all of us. What is stopping us from manifesting this abundance in our lives is our consciousness. We have a Third party consciousness, that can only created or manifest third rated world. We don&#39;t feel that God which is all providing is inside or us or within us. We feel that we need a third party to negotiate our needs for us with God, or connect us with God. We forget that God can live inside of us if we let Him. Christ came to help us make that connection with God. He came to cleanse us so that God can live inside of us. When God is able to live inside of us we then become son begotten by Him. Christ came to give us that consciousness when our original parents Adam and Eve used to communicate with God, when they used to live in absolute abundance having the consciousness of the ever presence of God.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/making-transition.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-6010813453389471539</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-26T10:29:28.605-07:00</atom:updated><title>Ask and it shall be given unto you!</title><description>“The blessing of God makes glad and add no sorrow” We are all looking for things to better our lives; we want to be blessed by God from time to time so that our lives can be richer. When we are waiting on God and God does not deliver know therefore that we either fail to ask or don’t know how to ask.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Jesus said:&lt;br /&gt;“Ask and it shall be given unto you. You have not because you ask not; you have not because you have asked amidst. And when you ask believe that you receive and you shall have it”&lt;br /&gt;This is the formula to have things added to your life, to forcefully request your blessing from God; you must ask and you must also know how to ask.&lt;br /&gt;“I will give you the key o the kingdom Jesus said: here is the literal meaning of what He said: Because you understand the revelation that God gave you about me, you know that I am the Christ, you also know what is it means to be the Christ, because you have the awareness that I Jesus is the Christ, the hope of glory; you also know that this Christ lives inside of you. With this knowledge at hand, you have the key to the kingdom of God. This is the key to access the realm of the spirit; this is where you let the Christ in you take over. You are now a child of God with full spiritual awareness of who and what you are in Christ; God will respond to you as a father respond to his child because you been initiated in the spirit. “For those who received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, born of the spirit not of the flesh”. If you receive Christ and believe that He lives in you, you are a child of God. You have the awareness that the spirit of God lives in you. You have a new awareness that you are now son of God through Christ. You now can boldly ask your father in heaven what you need. With his awareness, you are now the church of Christ; you are the body of Christ. Your body is the temple of t he Holly Spirit of God. The Christ in you is His spirit individualized in you. He is the substance of the universe; the Omnipresent substance of the universe, the unfailing abundance. With this key at hand, whatever you bind on earth is also bind in heaven Jesus said and whatever you bind in heaven will be bound on earth because the omnipresent substance of the universe is in heaven as it is on earth. Jesus asked us to pray this way: “Our Father in heave, hallo be Thy name, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven; Thy kingdom come. You now know that the key to the kingdom of God is awareness, spiritual awareness that is.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Key Words&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Words are powerful; they can make your or break you. Here is a take of what words are: Jesus said: “My words are spirit and they are life” knowing the right word can open doors either to heaven or to hell. “The world is held by the word of His power”. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word (The Logos) was with God”. And God said;”let there be light and it was so” God spoke the world into existence. “And the word became flesh and dwelled among us”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I chose these words carefully so that I can feed your soul. I am a follower of Christ; I want to the will of God. Jesus said: “If you love Me, feed my sheep. My sheep know My voice and a stranger they will not fallow”. I bring you the word of so that your mind may be renewed because as a man thinks so he is. If you feed your spirit with the word, you shall have the spirit. It is possible to enlarge your spirit and have more of it. It takes the spirit in you to do anything worthy of life, to be inspired and create require the spirit. Jesus said that” I am the true manna coming down from heaven. Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you. I came so that you may have life and partake in the abundance of life”. If the words that jesus spoke to us are spirit, and if it is the spirit t hat gives life and if you need the spirit to do anything worth while that is to prosper and excel, it is therefore essential that you feed your soul with the word so that you can enlarge your spirit.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Find that which is essential and become it”.  What then is the essentiality of life?&lt;br /&gt; The essentiality of life is that we find the totality of ourselves. Who is man that the Lord may remember of him? He is a spirit being encase in a human body, he has a soul.&lt;br /&gt;“And God created man out of the ground, breathed in his nostrils and man became a living soul” the breath of life is t he spirit in man and the body is the temple of the spirit. The interaction of spirit and body make the man a living soul. The soul is the expression, the sum total of a man experiences. He must walk the lines set by God to guide his spirit of fall prey to the impulses coming from his body. Life is a perpetual struggle between man doing the will of God and be guided by the spirit of doing the will of the flesh or be guided by the devil. The body should not have a will on its own or does it really? Who is man you may ask? Does the soul dies? “God said that the soul that sins it the soul that will die”.  Sin therefore makes it possible for man to die. Is man a soul or spirit?  “And man became a living soul” Is soul more important than spirit? Is man really a soul or spirit? I believe that it is a question of identity. A man is definitely a soul; but he has a body and spirit. It is spirit and body that Makes a man a soul, yet if a man identify himself with the spirit, he lives and if he identifies himself with the body, he dies; his experiences and memories are forever lost. If a man identifies himself with the spirit he lives. Jesus said that eternal life is to believe that Jehovah God is the only true God and the One He sent Jesus Christ” “If you don’t believe that I am said Jesus, you will die in your sin” Jesus came to give us back our awareness of the spirit so that we may live again. Remember that it is the spirit that gives life, the body has nothing. It takes the life giving spirit to energize the body. “Find that which is essential and become it”. Al of my effort thus far is to feed your spirit with the word so that you can enlarge it and you may become a partaker in the blessing of God. “In you and in your seed, I will bless all of the family of the earth”.  However God is going to bless you as he promised; he will do it by His spirit. If you are obedient to His word, if you obey his law, his statutes and commandments, He will bless you through the spirit. God is spirit and those that worship Him shall worship Him in spirit and in truth” Jesus’ job is to baptize you with the spirit, help you develop your spiritual eyes and ears so that you may be able to hear the voice of God. Without the inner guidance of the spirit of God to guide us out of the darkness of this world we are at the mercy of the forces of darkness, to be pushed here and there by the whims of nature.” What is of the flesh is of the flesh and what is of spirit is of spirit said Jesus.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The World adjusts to itself, as you think so you are!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Lord shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory.“The Divine consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature. This is its responsibility, not mine. My only responsibility is to be aware of the truth. Therefore I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all sufficient in my life affairs. My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any needs or unfulfilled</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/ask-and-it-shall-be-given-unto-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-8484384551145702383</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Sep 2007 02:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-24T19:12:18.119-07:00</atom:updated><title>Becoming a Conscious Human Being</title><description>Becoming a Conscious human Being little by little&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am getting to be aware of my spiritual self. I am increasing my awareness little by little in bite size. This is what Bite Size Awareness is all about. It is about consciousness; becoming aware of our divine Consciousness; helping us focus our attention from the physical to the spiritual. Since it is the spirit that gives life and sustains life; since everything we do and everything we are rest on the sprit; it is therefore wise for us to seek the spirit or become aware of it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Easier say than done&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; You have been living your life in a mold; people perceive you as such and you cannot escape their thoughts life therefore God says: “Go out from your people to a land that I will show you” why God had to uproot Abraham from his land you may ask? It is because he could not escape the fixation of the thoughts of his people. They were continuously making him what he was not. It is hard enough for us to fight against our own self from making us what we are not less fighting others...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All of my life, I want to bridge the gap that exist between the people of the Third World with those of the industrial world. I want to help those that are lagging behind catch up with those that are far ahead. I want to help them make the transition from a third world reality to an accelerate and prosperous reality.  I want to increase their spiritual awareness, help quicken them so that they can become more cognizant of their environments. I want them to be sharp and focus so that reality does not escape them. There is a certain naivety and a child like ignorance associated with people of the Third World, a lethargic kind of disposition even spreading out to their languages, a kind of mental laziness that make them more sluggish and less responsive to the needs of the world around them. As a result they are producing third rated world, misfit disorderly and chaotic world, call the Third World.&lt;br /&gt;The day of such disposition of soul and spirit shall be no more. “With His fan in his hands, he shall separate the wheat from the chaff, but the chaff he will consume with unquenchable fire” ; which means that he will quicken you, clean you up, take off from you all unwanted, undesirable traits and make you worthy of the spirit. Christ within you is the hope of glory. How do you have Christ in you? Well it is an awareness that you need to develop. You need to shift your attention to the Christ within you. Jesus himself told us how. First you must dwell in His words. That is in his words you will find a life style. This is the life style he prescribed for us to fallow. This life style is the path to develop your awareness of Him in you. “By that they will know that you are my disciples” By fallowing the teachings of Jesus Christ, do as he says, apply his teachings in your daily life; you are developing your spiritual awareness. Here are the teachings of Jesus Christ literally. “Love God with all of your heart and believe in the one he sent, Jesus Christ. Treat others as you would like others to treat you. Turn the other cheek that is avoiding heads on collision; seek alternatives to resolve your conflicts. Be like the Good Samaritan, be generous and give to others in need. Be forgiven that is forgive others who trespasses against you seven time seven. Deny yourself that is to stop boasting your ego, stepping on others to elevate yourself that is consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, placing yourself above your fellow human being, separating yourself from them and from God. Embrace your humanity, the short coming and weaknesses of your fellow human beings that is to take up your cross. Self sacrifice is the way of the universe. “Every man must be willing to give his life as a willing sacrifice for other man. This is the path of the spirit; it is in the life style that you live. “I am the way and the life; I am the life and the light” No one come to God but by Me. You cannot find God who is spirit without first finding the spirit Christ in you. You cannot be in the light for without the spirit there is no light within you. You are in darkness doing bidding for the kingdom of darkness. “For that He came to undo the works of darkness, to destroy the works of the devil” The only way that you can truly say” Now is the darkness cast out, the ruler of the darkness of this world cast out” it is for you to live the life style that will lead you to the spirit within; apart of which God cannot do anything for you.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;e came, to undo the works of darkness, to destroy the works of the devil” The only way that you can say truly “&lt;br /&gt;I am a conscious being&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“God is lavishing, unfailing abundance, the Substance of the universe. This unfailing abundance is individualized in me. I am conscious of the inner presence of my lavishing abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity.  “Greater He that is in me than he that is in the world” Through my consciousness of this Christ within is my source; I cast all of my cares upon Him. I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of spirit. “It is not by might nor by power but by My spirit says the Lord”. Whatever God is doing or will do; it is through His spirit. Everything we do and everything we are rest on the spirit. It is the spirit that gives life. “This substance is my supply thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply”.  It requires consciousness to make the shift from poverty to prosperity. You need to be fully aware of who and what you are and your connection to God. I can say plainly that the prerequisite for abundance is knowing the source of abundance and your position with that source. That source is God and god is spirit. “After me shall come One who will baptize you with spirit and fire” it requires the spirit to quicken you and empower you to prosper. Since He, Christ is the one who will baptize you with spirit and fire. “I come so that you may have life and partake in the abundance of life” if Jesus is the baptizer of the spirit and if it is the spirit that gives life and make you a partaker in the abundance of life; it would make sense to deduce that our priority in life is for us to develop our spiritual awareness. That is to be conscious of the life giving spirit inside of us. The key to prosperity; the key to make the transition from poverty to prosperity is for us to change our focus from the supply to the source.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As it is always in our quest for riches or to get out of poverty we automatically focus on money. Since money is the universal exchange for goods and services, it seems natural for us to focus our attention on money. But money is not your supply. “No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all providing activity of the divine Mind within is my supply my consciousness of the truth is unlimited; therefore my supply is unlimited. We must shift our attention to the source. It is said that attention made the world; what is attention therefore. Attention is our awareness. Reality as we perceive it is an awareness. Reality does not exist unless we are aware of it. Reality as we perceive it is a direct result of our attention therefore if we focus our attention on the source we shall surely get the result. Like cause and effect, action and reaction; we must first focus our attention on the cause to get the effect. If money is the effect that we are looking for; it makes sense for us to focus our attention on the cause. We need to focus our attention on the action; the person actuating the action. I have money; because money is my essence; the source of money lives inside of me.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The challenge for us is two fold first to get out of the mold and redirect our attention on the cause; secondly it is for us to become aware of the source of our invisible supply.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hence faith comes. “A man has to believe. Having to believe is a cinch says the character Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda Journey to Ixland. Faith said St. Paul the apostle is the substance of things unseen. Though we don’t see God, we must strive to become aware of His Presence for he is the Lavishing, unfailing abundance; the substance of the universe. “Faith is the evidence of things unseen” “We are a feeling, we are an awareness said Don Juan; we must practice our awareness, develop our feeling for the presence of the Divine within us.&lt;br /&gt;If attention is what makes the world then if we direct our attention on the divine in us which is the source of unfailing abundance therefore we should have a life of abundance. We need to tap in the source; we need no third party to help us except the one assigned by God Jesus Christ. He is the Christ within</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/becoming-conscious-human-being.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-2379967133200839654</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-24T07:06:52.350-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Key to the Blessing</title><description>Every aspects of the kingdom is ours; our cup run over, overflow with every good things, including abundance, beauty, wealth, health, joy, peace, love, creative expression, right relation, freedom, harmony. Our site is about awareness, develop our spiritual awareness. When we talk about awareness, we talk about consciousness, attention: “and when we let our heightened awareness, our consciousness interprets itself as that, which we are conscious, we become the I am what I am, born not of the flesh but of the spirit”. Spiritual awareness is the key to the blessing for it is that awareness that makes us sons of God and heir of the kingdom, eligible to receive the blessing. Let us notice the mental disposition of the people of the Third World. They feel the need to reach out to God through third parties, a saint or the spirit of a dead ancestor. They feel less than divine and inferior beings that must have some one higher than them to negotiate for them with God. We need not bargain our way into God’s favor. The secret to get our prayers answer (granted) is for us to be in tune with God which is the unfailing abundance, substance of the universe. Since God is the unfailing abundance substance of the universe lives inside of us, we have no needs; all of our needs are met.&lt;br /&gt;“Ask what you wish and I will do it so that you may bring fruit” Jesus said. It is through Christ that God will be glorified on earth. God takes much pleasure to give you the things that you asked so that His glory can be manifested on earth. As long as you have the awareness that Christ is the key to your blessing, you will have things added to your life. God takes much pleasure to give you, to manifest His glory through you.&lt;br /&gt;“To them gave he the power to become sons of God” even to those that received Him, those that accept this new awareness that they are sparks of the Divine and that the Divine resides in them.  Remember that Christ’s mission is to baptize you with spirit, awake in you your spiritual self and make you aware of the spirit in you. He is to energize the spiritual spark in you so that you may become conscious of it; for it is through it (the spirit) that God will manifest His glory on earth. “That you may bring fruit worthy of heaven”; it is His good pleasure to give you the kingdom; which means that He takes pleasure to give you the key to access the blessing. The kingdom is the manifestation of the government of God on earth, the spiritual power of God through you. He cannot do that without you aware of His spirit in you. God is unfailing abundance, the invisible substance of the universe individualized in you. Whatever is His is also yours. This Omnipresent supply of abundance resides in you. Making the transition from the consciousness of unworthiness to a consciousness of son ship is the challenge. We have been so much accustomed to the consciousness of separation that to undertake this challenge won’t be easy. What is sin, what is separation, what is it that separate us from God or our spiritual awareness? Sin is disconnection from the spirit which means having no more spiritual awareness. Sin separates us from God or from the consciousness of the spirit and nature takes precedence and our consciousness becomes subjugated to nature. We no longer have consciousness of our spiritual heritage. Christ had to come down on earth to rescue us and restore our consciousness back to his spiritual heritage, give us back our awareness of the divine in us. “To them that received Him, gave He power to become sons of God”. Without Christ we are cut off from the blessing of God. Whatever we received in life that bring us joy, peace and happiness is of God; for the blessing of God makes glad and add no sorrow. “You are the Christ the Son of the living God Peter said” this is the revelation that we need to have, the same revelation that Peter had. It is this knowledge, this knowing without a shadow of doubt that Jesus is the Christ, the One who will ignite the fire of the spirit in you that we need. We need to know that Jesus is the key, the philosopher stone so sought out by the alchemists of the past, the One that will transmute you from mortal man to immortal man. The spirit never dies; it is the spirit that gives life.  Is gold the precious metal that the alchemists were looking for and if the philosopher stone is the key to transmute lead into gold and the key to immortality Jesus then is the key, the philosopher stone. It is the revelation that He is what He said He is that we must have. We must know that He is the key to the spirit. Without the spirit we can do nothing. “If you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your sins”. That revelation is an awareness. It is the key to a new awareness. This knowing is the key to a doorway to the spirit. Jesus said: “I am the way and the life” Jesus came to re-unite us with the spirit show us a path to the spirit. Sin separates us from God; it takes our consciousness away from the spirit and forces us to focus our awareness on the body. Sin put blinders on our eyes for it blinds us from perceiving the spiritual world.  We cannot perceive the spiritual world without us first become aware of the spirit. “Except ye born again of spirit and water you cannot see the kingdom of heaven” water means repentance, renouncing one former self, embracing the spiritual self.&lt;br /&gt;How do we find the way?&lt;br /&gt;It is to be found in the life style. Jesus prescribed the way for us to fallow. Like Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda novel, we must learn to live like a warrior at war with the forces of the flesh. We must live for the spirit, guided by the rules of the spirit. We must be alert, vigilant for the flesh is weak. To succumb to the impulses of the body is to be like a weed at the mercy of the wind; it is to be like dust in the wind but to be guided by the rules and constraints of the spirit is to be a warrior. A warrior has power over the forces of nature.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/key-to-blessing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-8608908632895904705</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Sep 2007 00:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-21T18:31:01.049-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to get Things Added to your Life</title><description>“The blessing of God makes glad and add no sorrow” We are all looking for things to be added to our lives, to better our lives; to improve our living condition; we all want to be blessed by God from time to time, we all want our lives to be richer. When we are waiting on God and God does not deliver, know therefore that we either fail to ask or don’t know how to ask. I had to learn how to ask before I would start getting things from God and also use the key given given by God to start getting blessed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus said:&lt;br /&gt;“Ask and it shall be given unto you. You have not because you ask not; and when you ask and you have, it is because you have asked amidst. And when you ask believe that you receive and you shall have it”&lt;br /&gt;This is the formula to have things added to your life, you must forcefully request your blessing from God; you must ask and you must also know how to ask.&lt;br /&gt;“I will give you the key o the kingdom Jesus said: here is the literal meaning of what He said: Because you understand the revelation that God gave you about me, you know that I Jesus is the Christ, you also know what is it means to be the Christ and because you have the awareness that I Jesus is the Christ, the hope of glory; you shall ask what you want and I will do it so that you may bring much fruit. With this knowledge at hand, you have the key to the kingdom of God. This is the key to access the realm of the spirit; this is where you let the Christ in you take over. You are now a child of God with full spiritual awareness of who and what you are in Christ; God will respond to you as a father respond to his child because you been initiated in the spirit. “For those who received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, born of the spirit not of the flesh”. If you receive Christ and believe that He lives in you, you are a child of God. You have the awareness that the spirit of God lives in you. You have a new awareness that you are now son of God through Christ. You now can boldly ask your father in heaven what you need. With his awareness, you are now the church of Christ; you are the body of Christ. Your body is the temple of t he Holly Spirit of God. The Christ in you is His spirit individualized in you. He is the substance of the universe; the Omnipresent substance of the universe, the unfailing abundance. With this key at hand, whatever you bind on earth is also bind in heaven Jesus said and whatever you bind in heaven will be bound on earth because the omnipresent substance of the universe is in heaven as it is on earth. Jesus asked us to pray this way: “Our Father in heave, hallo be Thy name, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven; Thy kingdom come. You now know that the key to the kingdom of God is awareness, spiritual awareness that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key Words&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words are powerful; they can make your or break you. Here is a take of what words are: Jesus said: “My words are spirit and they are life” knowing the right word can open doors either to heaven or to hell. “The world is held by the word of His power”. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word (The Logos) was with God”. And God said;”let there be light and it was so” God spoke the world into existence. “And the word became flesh and dwelled among us”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose these words carefully so that I can feed your soul. I am a follower of Christ; I want to the will of God. Jesus said: “If you love Me, feed my sheep. My sheep know My voice and a stranger they will not fallow”. I bring you the word of so that your mind may be renewed because as a man thinks so he is. If you feed your spirit with the word, you shall have the spirit. It is possible to enlarge your spirit and have more of it. It takes the spirit in you to do anything worthy of life, to be inspired and create require the spirit. Jesus said that” I am the true manna coming down from heaven. Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you. I came so that you may have life and partake in the abundance of life”. If the words that jesus spoke to us are spirit, and if it is the spirit t hat gives life and if you need the spirit to do anything worth while that is to prosper and excel, it is therefore essential that you feed your soul with the word so that you can enlarge your spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Find that which is essential and become it”. What then is the essentiality of life?&lt;br /&gt;The essentiality of life is that we find the totality of ourselves. We must find or access the spiritual part of us. Who is man that the Lord may remember of him? He is a spirit being encase in a human body, he has a soul. God is spirit and whatever he will do, he will do it by His spirit. In order to bless us God must get access to our spirit. Remember what Jesus said: It is the spirit that gives life” Everything we do and everything we are repose on our spirit”. We need the spirit to inspire us, to quicken us, to empower us”&lt;br /&gt;“And God created man out of the ground, breathed in his nostrils and man became a living soul” the breath of life is the spirit in man and the body is the temple of the spirit. The interaction of spirit and body make the man a living soul. The soul is the expression, the sum total of a man experiences. He must walk the lines set by God to guide his spirit or he will fall prey to the impulses coming from his body. Life is a perpetual struggle between man doing the will of God and be guided by the spirit by doing the will of God or succumb to the flesh or be guided by the devil. We should not succumb to the impulses coming from the body and be tossed here and there like a weed at the mercy of the whims of nature. Who is man you may ask? Does the soul dies? “God said that the soul that sins is the soul that will die”. Sin therefore makes it possible for man to die. Is man a soul or spirit? “And man became a living soul” Is the soul more important than spirit? Is man really a soul or spirit? I believe that it is a question of identity. A man is definitely a soul; but he has a body and spirit. It is spirit and body that Makes a man a soul, yet if a man identify himself with the spirit, he lives and if he identifies himself with the body, he dies; his experiences and memories are forever lost. If a man identifies himself with the spirit he lives. Jesus said that eternal life is to believe that Jehovah God is the only true God and the One that He sent Jesus Christ” “If you don’t believe that I am said Jesus, you will die in your sin” Jesus came to give us back our awareness of the spirit so that we may live again. Remember that it is the spirit that gives life, the body has nothing. The spirit lives and the body dies this is the equation which ever one you identify with is what you will get. It takes the life giving spirit to energize the body. “Find that which is essential and become it”. All of my efforts thus far have been to feed your spirit with the word so that you can enlarge it and that you may become a partaker in the blessing of God. “In you and in your seed, I will bless all of the family of the earth”. However God is going to bless you as he promised; he will do it by His spirit. If you are obedient to His word, if you obey his law, his statutes and commandments, He will bless you through the spirit. God is spirit and those that worship Him shall worship Him in spirit and in truth” Jesus’ job is to baptize you with the spirit, help you develop your spiritual eyes and ears so that you may be able to hear the voice of God. Without the inner guidance of the spirit of God to guide us out of the darkness of this world we are at the mercy of the forces of darkness, to be pushed here and there by the whims of nature.” What is of the flesh is of the flesh and what is of spirit is of spirit said Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World adjusts to itself, as you think so you are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few quotes to help you feed y our soul:&lt;br /&gt;The Lord shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory. “The Divine consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature. This is its responsibility, not mine. My only responsibility is to be aware of the truth. Therefore I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all sufficient in my life affairs. My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any needs or unfulfilled.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-get-things-added-to-your-life.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352546767589795913.post-3649936902182256060</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Sep 2007 01:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-19T18:18:43.947-07:00</atom:updated><title>The key to Excel and Prosper</title><description>“Bless me too oh father”; some people are looking for their blessing; they want to know why they are not blessed like the rest. They want to know why they lag behind; why they cannot succeed in anything despites all of their efforts. They want to know why possibility to achieve and to attain came to them fewer and far apart. They want to know why they are not inspired, have those moments of clarity which gives them answers to their problems and help them overcome obstacles out of their paths, these moments of chance that pop up from time to time to empower them to prosper and excel. They want to know how to find the blessing and partake in the abundance of life. I devoted my whole life in search of the blessing of God for me and my people. I say my people because I am part of a Third world people. My desire is to help them make the transition from a cursed world to a blessed world, from poverty to prosperity. I believe that I have the answer and the know how to tap into the blessing of God. The first question one has to ask is what is the blessing? How does one consider oneself blessed? People are looking for things to improve their living condition and when they find these things, they consider themselves blessed. This is what the blessing is all about; it is to have the desires of our hearts fulfill. Jesus gave us the key or a hint on how to find the blessing of God. He said: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the things you want shall be added unto you”. Remember that blessing is equal to things, wants and desires fulfill. We get our wants and desires fulfill when we get things from God. Now the key to get things is for us to seek first the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God. Kingdom and righteousness is used as one word. A kingdom may not be righteous or rules by justice but the key to the blessing that we are looking for is to be righteous. “The blessing of God makes glad and add no sorrow”. We are looking for the kind of blessing that comes with peace of mind. The kingdom of darkness is wicked; it is the opposite of righteousness. The next question one has to ask is what is the kingdom of God? Remember that the key to the blessing of God is for us to seek first the kingdom of God that is the rule of justice. The kingdom of God is the return of the rule of law and justice but a rule of law and justice that is not imposed from without but from within. It is the re-establishment of God grand design fro humanity and for mankind to live in peace and abundance, lacking nothing. God first placed man in a garden like estate where all of his needs were met. God want to extend this garden like estate to all of the earth but there is one catch and one prerequisite for us to participate in this grand design, that prerequisite is righteousness. The only requirement for us to partake in the kingdom and be part of that government is righteousness. “In you and in your seeds, I will bless all of the family of the earth”. Because “you” Abraham obeyed the law, the statutes and the commandments of God he was accounted righteous. If we are of the same mind set as Abraham was; we are indeed the seed of Abraham, his descendants. We are also counted righteous by God. Jesus said: “God is able to raise Abraham descendents out of the history of Abraham”. If we are of the seed of Abraham, we are therefore righteous and eligible to partake in the blessing of God. In order for us to operate in the authority of the kingdom we need a key and Jesus gave us that key. He is the key. How do we get access to that key you may ask? That key begins with awareness. The first step in getting authority to operate in the kingdom is to have the awareness of who is the key. You must become aware that Jesus is the key to the kingdom. He is the key to get things done, doors open and shut in the kingdom. Jesus is the key, the anointed one by which everything, all powers and authority is given in the kingdom. “You are the Christ Peter said to Jesus and Jesus answers and said” Upon this revelation is the kingdom of Go, the key by which all doors are open  or close on earth as well as in heaven. This is the key to the blessing; you have to have awareness that Jesus is the key that gives you authority to operate in the kingdom. The way to access that key is righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is a full measure of infinite good, the abundance of all sufficient supply. Now the question that you should ask is why this full measure of good and abundance of supply is have not manifested in the Third World, places like Africa. Why is it that the African people must wait for Europeans to bring them a little bit of that abundance of supply? It is the Creative energy of God that allowed the Europeans to prosper and excel why is it that this same energy is disconnected to the people of the Third Word and Africa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure that you are dying to know the reason. See my writing on why the Blackman is left to lag behind by His creator?&lt;br /&gt;A sentence was pronounced; the earth is cursed because of it’ thorns and thirties it shall produced and man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. That sentence still stand today; though god made provision for our redemption, still parts of humanity has yet to be removed from under the sentence. That sentence is the curse and become law. It is the law that gives the devil latitude to operate in the world and dispense as he saw fit his purpose. Now the devil got permission to use law to advance his kingdom. He used the law to divide and conquer, separate and steal... by dividing the world into class of people, allow white to prosper and negate blacks, he create an adversarial system that ensure us perpetuating the curse. Every time we affirm or negate someone we are repeating the original sin that is consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil to boast our ego or elevate ourselves above others. This Christ came to undo, to destroy the works of the devil. Every time we enlarge our awareness of Christ in us we are establishing the kingdom pf God and destroy the works of the devil.</description><link>http://betterlivingworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/key-to-excel-and-prosper.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
