Opportunities are
all around us to act upon, out of a heart of love
with actions that gain us a great reward
in the Kingdom of God.
Without them, the depth of
character
one has would not be refined to bring out all its beauty:.1Peter
1:7; Zechariah 13:8,9;
Revelation
3:18.
The trials
and tests and sufferings which we all face in life have a purpose.
If you think life is 'just happening' to you.(*),
you are missing the truth of the reality of existence. Absolutely nothing
happens by chance, otherwise it would be a chaotic
multiiverse and it's not!
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 the Christ." Proverbs
17:3 "The fining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but God
tries the hearts." Proverbs 16:16
"How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding.(original
for word 'understanding' is 'knowledge', 'learning'; an overstanding).rather
to be chosen than silver!" Proverbs 22:1 "A
good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favour rather
than silver and gold.".Revelation
3:18; Proverbs 3:13-18; 8:1-12;
Matthew
6:19-21; Hebrews 12:6; .
Life is to be a
'pressure cooker' and also to have many joys too. And the Creator promises
that you can take it with Hia strength in you:.Romans
8:28;
1Corinthians 10:13.
Daily we all get our share:.Matthew
6:34.
The Infinite One is concerned
with His
plan for man. He has great plans
for man:.1Corinthians
2:9. In His plan there is at present a place for the dark side or those
of the dark side wouldn't be there. They are there so the character needed
for a reward can develop.
Because the
Great Infinite One we often refer to as God, cannot even look at iniquity,
as He is pure, the Creator uses the devil.(the
dark side in all of us by our own tacit
choice).in
His workings upon us.(Luke
4:13; 2Corinthians 4:4;
Revelation
12:9).causing
all sorts of bad things; causing those people who unwittingly
are open to the dark side, to be liars, deceivers and to want control over
others.(John
8:44), causing some to pursue what
seems
like the right way. And it seems that way because one is deceived
and a deceived individual has no idea that he or she is deceived until
they gain insight and knowledge:.2Peter
3:18.
The devil is the destroyer,
as he has the power of death:.Hebrews
2:14. But God has the power of life:.Hebrews
7:16.
The devil is a
necessary part of God's plan for humanity:.John
6:70. He was created a certain way and continues from the beginning
through various individuals.(such
as Cain,
Esau
and many others through to today).for
a definite purpose:.1John
3:8;
Colossians 1:16,17; Hebrews
2:8. There is no 'evil' with God, as evil is all part of the oneness
which is to be the human experience
for an overall good purpose.
The Creator is above
all. The Creator uses the devil and his dark angels, the dark side, to
destroy:
1Corinthians 10:10;
1Chronicles
21:15. The dark side has been defeated. That's why there is no
scripture about Christian warfare with the dark side. That war was
won by Christ. When in Christ there is no contest as to who wins. Get the
knowledge
of Christ. Both those learning light and those
of the dark side are necessary parts of this human experience. Why?
The purpose in Christ was
to turn around this
alienation
from the good God, prevalent
throughout Old Testament
times, which also today has caused us to be enslaved by all
the ways affecting you that have done you no good.
This alienation
from contact with the
Great Infinite Intelligence of the universe kept the good influence
of
the
Soul of God from flowing guidance.(a
supply).to
a one's subconscious and into his conscious mind, together called the 'soul'
with a small 's' as compared to the Soul of Creator-Father God with a capital
'S', thereby affecting thoughts toward
good things. Who is behind the evil?
Without God with you.(how
is it that a human comes to be without God?),
a human being is unable to extricate
himself from the effects of the mass of negativity within the
mass mind of humanity, which is the way
of frustration and death. He or she is on a river of no return, no
return that is, as long as one is on it. Sometimes we need help
to get off.
Many
religions are into these ways of frustration:.Jeremiah
21:8 "And unto this people you shall say, Thus says the Lord; Behold,
I set before you the way of life and the way of death." Jeremiah
22:17,21 "But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness
and for to shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence, to
do it...I spoke unto you in your prosperity but you said, I will not hear.
This has been your manner from your youth, that you obeyed not my voice.
But the Creator never
overrides anyone. One can choose to remain at the low consciousness
level they are at for as long as they are on Earth.
Here, the dark side continuously
pumps negatives, in one form or another, toward destruction. Although some
things may appear as beneficial,
may
appear as light, ultimately, tricks
like those can take you down. And that's the purpose of the dark side.
How much darkness can you stand before you are revulsed
by it?.Matthew
6:23 "But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in you is being darkened, how great is that
darkness becoming?"
The dark side wavelength
is always out to get one aligned with that which will thwart,
hurt, deceive and lead one astray.
The
ego 'loves' to be in tune with negativity. Know anyone who loves gossip?
Know anyone who nurses depressive
thoughts, anyone who is mostly on the negative side of things? Anyone who
cheats to gain for the self? Little things lead to bigger things. And so
one throws away the paddle on the river of
no return.
Number one way to deal with
negative thoughts is to just say no to them. Do not comply.
Not complying opens the way for your soul to come to help with better thoughts
to take you further from negativity.
The frequencies by which
humanity tune in are
here.
Being on what we often term
as being the devil's wavelength.(Acts
26:18).which
involves his most effective work.(he's
had so much experience over so very long a time).of
getting you against yourself
and against others and corrupting everything that concerns you.
The main thrust is to 'take
you down'; the main thrust is to turn your problems in on you with even
heavier weights. The main thrust of the ego influenced dark side is to
focus your mind on "what's wrong with me, that my life is such and such?"
"What's wrong with me that so many negatives have occurred?" "I guess I'm
just worthless." "I might as well give
up and die." "The world would be better off without me anyway." "I'm
so far in, there's too little hope to go on."
And by the time you are at
this point in your life, you've probably done much damage to others' lives
and to their hopes. You've no doubt, uncaringly contributed to drowning
out the hopes of others, assisting likeminded cohorts
in whom also 'the
demons roamed'; assisted in smothering out someone's uniqueness and
sincerity. Jabez seems like he suffered
in a situation like that, but found a way out.
The Creator is in absolute
control over the devil and in absolute total
control over everything, but much He allows and does not intervene,
as long as His ultimate purposes are on
track and He never overrides
our mind set:.Ecclesiastes
7:29. That's for us to do:.1John
5:5; Revelation 3:5; 21:7.
He has given all responsibility
to Christ:.1Peter
3:22. Evil is part of the good/evil equation that has a purpose here:.Isaiah
45:7. One day evil will not exist:.Revelation
21:3,4. People whose hearts are hearts of love are progressing toward
this now, learning by living both the evil and good:.Hebrews
5:14.
The devil does not want you
to live safely and in comfort, but rather in fear of retribution:.Luke
8:12. He has power to take us to death.(Hebrews
2:14).through
many ways, including emotional hurts, wrong food, wrong living, decisions
usually based on selfishness, etc.
If we had a relationship
with the Creator that was a vibrant relationship, the devil would have
little to accuse us of:.Revelation
12:10.
He cannot now correctly accuse.(Revelation
2:10).you
of
ever being unrighteous,
unholy
and not in perfect stead with your Creator.
The devil is also allowed
to influence those who open themselves to his ways:.Matthew
13:39.
When we get off the track
of love for ourselves and others by getting discouraged
and depressed, bicker
with others.(Ephesians
4:31).and
generally negative, we open the door for
more.
The 'devil', the dark side,
works on influencing man with tricks to
get him deeper into evil leading to even more serious deeds of evil done
from the low consciousness,
the ego we all
have.
Always out to take
you down a step further is the plan for man by the dark side. To you
it may seem like
self.sabotage
supreme, as you fail to see the workings of the invisible dark side:.1Peter
5:8; James 4:1,2. Intuition
helps to see what's going on and coming for you. Get yourself into high
consciousness and out of the grasp
of the dark side.
The deceitful egos we all
have are out to destroy all that concerns us, while making it look like
it's 'the only way to go':.Proverbs
14:12. Destructive and negative thoughts produce negative circumstances
each of us is personally
responsible for.
The ego is extremely adept
at
getting and keeping you against yourself.
Much experience abounds in the mass mind of humanity from so much negativity.
This keeps the world in a state of hell, and takes a person down with 'pin
pricks'. Energies from the dark side mass consciousness of all humanity
ensure that people think all is basically ok and 'coming along', while
all the time the world is lead into increasingly destructive ways. The
mass
mind contains the sum total of trickery, deceit and
subtlety.
The writers of the Bible
had to put it in a way that an ego minded person would understand at his
level so he could begin to see it in himself and move into
higher consciousness:.Revelation
12:9.
Vigilance is critical:.Hebrews
12:15; 2Peter 1:10.
Each.thought
and impulse must be run through your computer, your brain and if it proves
incompatible with your basic operating system.(hopefully
love is your basic operating system),
then a decision not to incorporate it must be made.
Only adherence.to
principles revolving around love will ensure
lack
of severe problems. Example
of a successful corporation, in ways besides just money.
The most important thing
a corporation should consider when hiring people is what motivates them?
Selfishness and greed? Care and concern?
According to Warren Buffet,
there are three most important qualities to consider in an individual.
