Now to
what extent the application of this knowledge is implemented
is between you and the Great Infinite One, the Invisible Intelligent Energy:.Revelation
4:9,10. On being transformed...
My urging to you is 'go
for the gold':.Philippians
3:13,14; 2Timothy 4:8. Get
off any lazy way of living and head toward the best reward
that you possibly can receive, that of forever living and forever young.
All will be rewarded as we all reap
what we have sown.
Why limit yourself? Why do
we and how do we
limit ourselves and how
do we get away from thinking that holds us apart in a restrictive timeline,
closing us off from what we may really want and can get?.John
10:10. Why settle for thirty fold.(Matthew
13:8,23).when
you
can get a hundred?
Go for the prize.(Hebrews
12:1; 1Corinthians 9:24,26;
Philippians
2:16).as
Paul did:.Philippians
3:14 "I press toward the mark
for a prize in the high calling of.God
through Christ.Emmanuel.".There
are many 'prizes'.
The Creator wants us to 'go
out
and
get busy', to go out and be
involved in helping others, helping
to reach them with the message they so desperately need, that of awakening
to their true state of being, serving
others, being in health, meditating
and praying for others, etc., improving yourself so that you are better
able to help others and are growing in character toward a great goal. Figure
out how to do the best you can
for others
and for yourself in order to make a loving and positive
difference in life on the Earth and beyond:.1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7.."You
can render God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of
yourself."....The
Science of Getting Rich. Avoid deprecating
your future by mismanaging
it.
God doesn't remove the problems
in life, because they are there to deal with and that provides opportunity
for an incredible reward, but one finds it hard to believe beyond this
life unless he or she is awakened:.1Corinthians
2:9 "But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither
has entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for
them that love him.".Paul
clearly saw where he was going:.Philippians
3:14.
So, what to do about
the evil? Apart from meditation and prayer, not much else you can do.
God is working through those
who are able to do something and have done something and are doing something
about it. Many Americans carry guns to keep the demonized criminals at
bay.
Go out and be sociable
and follow the guidance you receive in your
quiet times:.Mark
4:20-24 "And these are they which are sown on good ground, such as
hear the word and receive it and bring forth
fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty and some an hundred. And he said
unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel or under a bed
and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall
not be manifested,
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any
man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed
what you hear. With what measure you mete,
it is measured to you and unto you that hear shall more be given." Matthew
16:27 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels and then he shall reward every man according to his works."
1Corinthians
15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding
in the work of God." Matthew
16:27 "...he shall reward every man according to his works."
It is doubtful whether one
can be good without being good for something! One
thing you can be good about that will set the world back up and away
from its present destructive path.
"Feelings which are never
expressed languish
away and die. It is equally true of the noble and the base. Refuse expression
to an unworthy passion and we slay it by suffocation. Life is sustained
and enriched by expression, by endurance and by sacrifice."
...Jowett.
Matthew
10:38,39.
Have a good
cause to sacrifice your idle time to, where you can turn idle time into
ideal time. Here's one.
Too often instead we listen
to, as Jowett calls him."Mr.
Worldly Wiseman":."Take
the line of least resistance; keep your lips closed; go with the stream;
look after yourself! This is the method of reasonableness! This is the
policy which assures self preservation! This is the secret of a successful
and progressive life! Keep your lips closed, the policy of silence; go
with the stream, the policy of opportunism; look after yourself, the policy
of self-aggrandizement.
Such is the counsel of Mr. Worldly Wiseman. The Mister Worldly Wiseman
inside all of us is always sucked in by anything that he becomes convinced
of that will make him greater, make him richer, more popular, more secure
and worshipped more, even if it is at the expense of his fellowman. And
this is easy for him, as he is convinced that all his fellowmen are the
same as he, so might as well go along with the flow.".Luke
6:39 "...Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into
the ditch?".Humility
is not a byword
of his or her character.
The lives of such are filled with hypocrisy.
Trials would not be needed
in order for an individual to develop compassion if he would take efforts
himself toward developing this valuable quality of the heart. Sadly some
have lost courage. All persons
are in a belief that they will die,
but few ever really live.
Some spiritual individuals
however seem to prefer to develop an attitude of praise to God, "praise
you Emmanuel" they sing and "oh,
if we can only get closer to Emmanuel". How much closer can you get? It's
in
you!
Well, there is a way to
make it active and is generally neglected. And because of that neglect,
people slide into iniquity:.Matthew
7:23;.Psalms
36:1-3 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the
Lord: The transgression of the wicked says within the heart, there is no
fear of God.(no
interest in the things
of a higher consciouness), instead man relying
on the conditioning of his ego that he is used to).before
his eyes. For he flatters.(original
is 'distributes to himself').himself
in his own eyes, until his iniquity (original
is 'perversity').be
found to be hateful.(comment:
goes his own way till something dawns upon him that his way is not producing
what he hoped for). The words of his
mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has left off to be wise and to do good."
But many are too self concerned,
too conditioned by the circumstances that have made their egos what they
are to them, too conditioned.(self
brainwashed).to
effectively care for others in need who may never be able to repay them.
The Tower of Babel ruins
are supposed to be the present
Birs Nimroud, six miles south-west of Hilleh, the modern Babylon, situated
56 miles south of Baghdad, spelt also Bagdad, Iraq. The ancient tower of
Babel became the celebrated city of Babylon
which was close to the ancient city of Ur.
People wanted to build a name for themselves, for selfish reasons, away
from Creator-God:.Genesis
11:1-9; Jeremiah 44:16,17.
The Tower of Basel, Switzerland, perhaps unknown to many, houses the Bank
for International Settlements. This super bank is the bank of central banks
and thus probably the most important cabal institution of central banks
worldwide. It was founded by Moses Marcus Warburg and John Pierpont Morgan,
among others.
Today it is the same. Corporations
do it. Churches do it. Associations do it. Individuals
do it, seeking things and ways to present themselves and their interests
as being foremost and the select of choice for others, the byword
or their motto
being, 'what advantage for the self can be gained'?
Instead of doing this with
the right kind of pride and attitude of service, the
wrong kind of pride and purpose is all too often embraced. Bigger to
be better, for them, not you. Bigger to impress, but usually not for service
to others, just for more advantage for self in some way, even if it puts
another at a disadvantage. That's the satanic way. For example, churches
and corporations get wealthier and those supporting them often become poorer.
Such is the way of the ego of the
mankind group.
Self-importance and self-aggrandizement
are the bywords
of the selfish whose investments of time are confined to this all too short
physical existence in which their efforts are put into:.Matthew
6:19-21. We are here for only a few years, here to learn why
we are here, here to make a difference of betterment
in lives of others and of course, ours. We are being trained, that is,
for those who will to be trained:.Isaiah
13:12 "I will make a man more precious than fine gold..." 1Peter
1:7 "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honour and glory at the appearing of Emmanuel Christ." Deuteronomy
9:6 "...God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness,
for you art a stiffnecked
people."
And why
does the true God want man to be the best he can be?
The ego submerges
the real reasons why humanity is here and substitutes negative concepts
of greed and selfishness:.Genesis
11:4 "And they said Go to let us build us a city and a tower whose
top may reach unto heaven and let us make us a name lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole Earth.(the
ego feature
of fear was their base for action)."
Zechariah
4:6 ".....Not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the God
of hosts.(that
is, God of hosts {who are these
hosts?} original root word for 'hosts' is 'fight', that is, the Creator
is able to act in His invisible realm in such a manner {how?}
as having an even greater effect than powerful armies able to fight at
the physical level, examples;
we {John 17:26} host the presence
and
power of the Infinite One:.Isaiah
54:5; on word
lord in its various forms).
1Corinthians
10:33 "Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own
profit, but the profit of
many.that
they may be saved.".(word
'saved' does not have the religious connotation
that many would assume it would have; instead it
means...)
Paul was loving toward God
in such a way that made him disciplined in his purpose, that gave him such
a loving, protective heart toward others in Christ that he was even willing
to give his own salvation so that others may receive more:.Romans
9:3.
One
can tell by noting another's actions and inaction, if a spiritual person
really
believes in a life beyond, or whether
they mostly trust in themselves:.2Corinthians
1:9 ".....that we should not trust in ourselves but in God which raises
the dead." Philippians 3:11
"If by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead."
There appears to be three
degrees of faith: 1) Intellectual faith, a weaker faith; knowing that Emmanuel
is God, but the Bible states that "even.the
devils believe", so belief like this is
still below par.
2) Casual faith, a type common
to many; praying for your kids/family, praying before you get on a plane,
etc. and trusting the Creator that your prayers are answered.
3) And saving faith, the
best kind; trusting in Emmanuel the Christ for
all things. Perhaps it is because we sometimes become engrossed
in
our own depression or feelings of hopelessness,
that we fail to progress to saving faith.
We appear to be created with
a God shaped hole in our soul. We go throughout life attempting to fill
it with everything but God. Some go to church every week and may think
they are filling that God shaped hole with obeisance.
But a few soon realize, that's just 'religion'.....God
wants more than that, He wants a 'relationship' made possible through the
righteousness of Emmanuel available as a gift. This also is the main
way to break off those things which may control you.
