Anyone
the
Creator is working with is 'righteous'. Why?.Romans
4:17 ".....God, who quickens the dead and calls those things which
be not as though they were." Isaiah
46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times
the things that are not yet done.(what's
one of those things?.2Timothy
1:9), saying, My counsel shall
stand and I will do all my pleasure.(it's
a delight to
the Creator to bring us up higher in happiness)."
Isaiah
64:8 "But now, O Lord, you are our father, we are the clay and you
our potter.(one
who fashions pottery {bowls, etc.} with his hands).and
we.all
are.the
work of your hand."
David
had trials. Here David comments on his trusting of others:.Psalms
55:12-23. That is life here:.Matthew
5:45.
"Don't you trust people?"
"Of course I do; it's just the dark
side in them I don't trust."
There are two reasons why
it is so difficult to trust others: One, because we do not know them and
the other, because we do!
Everyone seems normal until
you get to know them! Ha ha!.(*)
There are two
major sides to each of us and about six
personas we use.
"Let the lover be disgraceful,
crazy, absentminded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly. Let the lover be."....Rumi
The premise
most people hold is that of distrust of others. Many by the decisions made
against humanity, qualify
for others distrust of them.
Rather than accept things
with open-mindedness
that it is possible something is true, proceeding along until or if, one
finds something not right, most instead maintain inaction so they do not
have to proceed with something perhaps new for them that may turn out be
of benefit.
But when you start to see
negatives or things that just don't seem to add up, it's time to move away
from them. Many spiritual persons have this worldly super cautious
fearful attitude of losing something they feel they have gained, not
realizing all is from the Creator and in this balanced universe of
things, there is no loss without gain.(*),
no down without up and vice-versa.
A program was offered by
wealthy Christians to provide other Christians and similar good hearted
individuals having the wherewithal to increase their ability to be of benefit
to others, deposit being fully secured, the return.(higher
than regular market).guaranteed.
One could even come with their lawyer, etc. 9 out of 10 individuals having
heard of this opportunity deemed
it 'too good to be true'. That did not change the fact that it was indeed
true. Unfortunately those missing out preferred instead to not pursue that
which could help others and themselves and their families:.Luke
19:12-26;
Luke 16:10-13;
John
10:25-27.
Do be open-minded, but also
be very cautious. There are many wolves out there. Listen to your body,
your body that looks
after you. What is it's first reaction to what you have been confronted
with? Is it comfortable
or uncomfortable?
Both ancient David
and Joseph had long continuous
trials. David because he decided wrongly and Joseph because he wouldn't
decide wrongly. Why does
God test us? Do you take a test drive before you buy a car? Do you get
to know another really well before deciding to make him or her a hopefully
lifetime partner?.(see
Mating)
Do you inspect a place well
before committing to living there? The Queen of Sheba tested the wisest
person in the world at that time:.1Kings
10:1-7. Nothing wrong with testing someone if you're unsure of your
intuition.
Trials are necessary in everyone's
life. Trials work character.
Trials and tests show us what our own hearts are really like so that we
can decide to be better.
The Creator is behind our
trials. In them we become established in righteousness:.Psalms
7:9 "Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish
the just, for the righteous, God tries the hearts and reins."
David
failed his 'test', but 'passed' because he realized how great God's forgiveness
is. He learned about the Creator's character. David trusted his Creator,
but allowed
his passions to cause an awareness of his closeness with the Creator
to drift away.
How?
Joseph passed his test because
he was resolute
in trusting God. He had learned to trust God no matter the surrounding
circumstances. No matter how hard we try, no one escapes life's trials
and tests. Once life's trials and tests show us what we are like, do we
do anything about it? Do we leave our ways of anger, deceit, greed, hate,
'flies' or just carry on as we were?
If we avoid changing, then even more severe trials may come along as what
happened to this guy.
Trials and heartaches do
come along to us. Why? Why in this mathematically perfect multiverse do
these things happen? If you think enough of God to ask why, you'll get
a specific answer. It's often because it is a mathematically perfect
multiverse that such things happen, because all of us reap
what we have sown. Has to be this way or else how would we really learn?
We'd have no feedback for our thoughts toward actions. Becoming circumspect
with our lives can reduce.severity
of trials to zero.
Ancient Job had the same
question, Why was this happening to me? He got rid of his extremely severe
trial when he did something.
His story.
What he did to turn his plight
around:.Job
42:10.
But for spiritual individuals
of love, trials can be hard to take, often causing confusion:.Psalms
44th chapter. Many trials are of our own making by how
we live life, all because we never knew the secret
to a great life. Our parents didn't know or they would have taught
us how to use it. And the schools, well, they weren't schools of discovery,
but were institutions of remembering and repeating, which is not real learning
at all, but indoctrination.
If schools
they knew anything true about the information they were presenting to students,
they certainly weren't allowed to teach it, because it smacks of independence
and schools were out to train little obedient worker bees for the corporations,
keeping
students dumbed down on purpose, so they would never really soar as
they might want to in life. So, where can we look then? To God of course.
He doesn't manipulate you. Man does. God won't keep you down. Man does.
So, what's
God got for us?
All our
prayers are instantly heard, but sometimes and because of how the multiverse
works, the answers to them may come a few weeks after they have been known
by God, as in Daniel's case:.Daniel:10:12,13.
Those having love motivation,
which deepens as they go along in life, are promised
good things. Often in their trials they fail to see the 'blessings',
not realizing how important character development is. This
guy did!
Character improves
when
one moves out of the ego level. Away from that, it's a different story:.Psalms
119:165 "Great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall
offend them.".If
you don't love, if you are not of a loving nature, then you'll be offended
when non loving things occur in your life.
Why did this have to happen
to me, many ask? I mean, aren't we 'serving the Lord' or 'Aren't I a good
person?' many people ask. 'Aren't we His chosen
at
this time' many in religion may ask? Good question!
Why?
'Doesn't
God hear prayers for relief?' Prayer
is actually praise, praise for what God has already completed:.Genesis
2:1; Psalms 65:2. One doesn't
have to ask for things that are already there. That's
stupid:.Matthew
6:7. If you want or need something, praise God, that is, be thankful,
grateful
that you already have it, because it is already there for you. You just
didn't know all God has done was
finished before humanity was made. When you thank God for it, it begins
immediately to come into your experience from the invisible realm. Don't
go back to what you thanked God for, because if you change your original
need and/or want, it necessitates
starting all over again, which wipes out your original want or need and
you now must again praise and thank God for what is now clearer in your
mind. God is mathematical, very precise, so have it clear in your mind
exactly what it is you want and or need. If you change it again and again,
it'll be frustrating to you, as it has to start all over again:.James
2:20.
If He relieved us every time
we contributed to our own problems, He would not be a Being concerned
with the character development important for eternal life:.1Peter
2:20; 5:10;
2Timothy
2:12. He is looking out for your future, even though you may not, at
this time, be able to see beyond present trials afflicting
your life.(your
life may require reincarnations to learn; all of us have had many reincarnations
already).and
that life is for learning.
Character can be developed in us as long as we have a sane
reasoning mind and are ready
to learn.
He is able to alleviate
all problems in our lives immediately, but whether He chooses to is another
question:.2Corinthians
9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that
you, always having all sufficiency
in all things, may abound to every good work."
God helped Asa mightily:.2Chronicles
14:8-15. If you want God to help you too, you like Asa, must ask:.John
16:24.
Trials are necessary if you
want a great reward in the real life, a life in such a higher consciouness
that it pales
into insignificance
this one, a life far more vibrant, an exciting and rewarding one more so
than this one could ever hope to be and a life available
now:.2Corinthians
4:14-18.
But the Creator promises
that nothing will come along that you cannot handle, even though you
think that you might not be able to handle it:.Romans
8:28; 1Corinthians 10:13;
Philippians
2:27.
Belief in the power of Christ's
loving nature in you, is the
key to getting through tough times:.2Corinthians
1:3-5. Trials are relativeonly
to one's perception
of the difficulty. To the hopeful, trials are promise of balance. To
the discouraged, an omen.
Trials are for learning a
way we may be following is not working and for learning that overall,
God
is
in control:.Matthew
10:29,30; Hebrews 12:8,10-15;.Daniel
4:25 "..... till you know that the most High
rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will.".Then
there is no reason to worry. And the
Creator greatly responds to attitudes. Good attitudes in the majority of
people in an area, cause better governments, because we are all
connnected.
Trials are to produce patience
and perfection unto holiness, so that we are
fully formed.(Galatians
4:19).into
the image that God sees us as;
that of being holy, righteous and perfect:.James
1:2-4. Impatience is sister to anger
and intolerance:.Revelation
3:18.
Many
of us are not patient with the Infinite One:.Exodus
32:1; Matthew 26:38-40. Waiting
on God requires patience, but we often just 'jump right in' to what we
think is an answer:.Luke
21:19 "In your patience possess you your souls." James
1:4 "But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect
and entire, wanting.(lacking).nothing."
The Infinite One is often
guiding you to just stay where you presently may be in order for you to
fulfil some spiritual work that is necessary, for you and/or for others.
But you are frustrated in life because you want something else, because
you
see that you lack it. This tells you that you are out of alignment with
God.(the
way of love for all).at
the time and are steeped
within frustration.
The more love
one expresses by acts of compassion, concern,
consideration, etc., the less trials come
along.
Many people in this fast
paced age are hasty
in what they do, causing many problems for themselves:.Proverbs
14:29; 21:5; 28:20;
29:20;
Ecclesiastes
5:2; 7:9. Take driving
for instance: Many people drive as though tomorrow is not worth waiting
for! Fast, reckless driving leads to slow, soft music!
Carl
Jung said."Hurry
is not of the devil. It is the devil". Jung
held that once one finds his divinely destined interaction with his true
self, his soul
connection through his spirit, it
is a defeat for what has been causing all our problems,
the
ego. Jung called this, reconciling
the great divide within, the divide between one's spirit connection with
the Soul, the multiversal intelligent energy we can all use and the ego,
what we work with by default
in the absence of connection to the
higher consciousness of the Soul. Another
Jung quote.
He called this 'marriage'
synchronicity,
that is the meaningful welding of inner and outer events. Like Freud, Jung's
mentor for six years, he believed the multiverse was causal.(every
event is the effect of a prior event, first in the soul, then from the
invisible there, it comes into the material world),
which modern quantum
physics also adopts. How
it all works.
Trials are for finding out
your heart, your thoughts and the emotions
you may specifically have and your reactions to the variables of life we
all experience.
Trials are for learning to
believe only in Him, in whom are all answers for
us:.2Corinthians
2:14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph
in Christ....."
Notice that with all the
power Emmanuel had available to Him.(Matthew
26:53).that
He said that He would pray for His disciple Simon Peter that his faith
would not fail, not that He would pray that Satan would be kept from macho
man Simon Peter:.Luke
22:31-34 "And God said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to
have you that he may sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you that
your faith fails not and when you are converted,
strengthen your brethren.
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with you both into prison
and to death. And he said, I tell you Peter,
the cock shall not crow this day before that you shall thrice deny that
you know me."
The books of the Bible
and here, the Book of Luke in the New
Testament in the Bible
tells us much is required from him who has been given much. If you have
trials in your life, know that the Engineer.(Ephesians
2:10).has
determined that you can take them and come up smiling, with His help.
Luke
12:48 ".....for unto whomsoever much is given, of him much is
required....."
Hebrews
13:5 ".....for he has said, I
will never leave you, nor forsake you."
Isaiah
41:17 "When the poor and needy seek water and there is none and their
tongue fails for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel
will not forsake them."
Philippians
1:6 "Being confident of
this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Emmanuel the Christ."
1Corinthians
10:13 "There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man,
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you
are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that
you may be able to bear.(or
'endure').it."
