~~ SYSTEM'S CENTRAL THEM-----THE OBJECT ?~~

Asked if that "system's central theme — the object?"

North. It is you. System's central theme — the object you — you who and what you've got is to be developed. Are you the subject of mechanisms — you and who you can be. Just so you just kamvasna. And while it is not well understood work you can't RAM may not be atmavan. Sexuality and spirituality are two ends of the same energy.

System starts from where you began your yoga prospect. Start with the end sum, system starts from the beginning. And good to start from the beginning. It's always good to start from the beginning. If made starting end then you have created undeserved suffering for yourself. You end up, not ideal. You have to be in the future becoming divine, perfect, but just so you only animals. And it is because of the deranged animals divine norm, goes crazy.

Tantra says forget the divine. If you animal treat this animal in its totality. In the same sense, the development of the divine. And if this is not the divine sense develops forget, then he never. Cannot create your ideal prospect real, actual knowledge of the real him.

The mechanism topic — object you may — who and what. Your reality and your chances of subject-object.

Never-ever people are upset. If you come to understand the system so there is no discussion of the divine, moksha and Nirvana are not discussed. People think, what kind of system it is religion! The mechanism of discussions that do those things you do, whose discussions you don't like. Who want to discuss sex? Every man thinks I know only. Because you could cause the child, understand that I know.

A man doesn't want to discuss sex and sex is every man's problem. A man doesn't want to discuss love, because everyone considered our already great lover. And look at your life, the more hatred and do! And that you love say that same excuse to stress a little less hatred. Look around you and you'll know that I don't know love.

A mystic rose balsam own tailor your dress. Tailor make a modest outfit took six months. Poor Fakir! When she was ready to dress and tailor made him, in the hands of balsam balsam said divine, all over the world in six days and you have a poor Mystic clothing chest took six months! Balsam has missed in his memoirs tailor. The tailor said:. Making the world in six days by divine, but see this world, what kind of world is it! How the world was created in six days and!

Look around the world you have created it, just watch. Then you'll know that I don't know I'm just's in the dark. And because other people's in the dark, so it can't be that you live in. And while everyone's in the dark, it makes you feel better, because there is not a matter of comparison.

But you are in darkness. And you like that, the mechanism starts from there. System you want to give the perception of those basic things that you can't deny. And if you try to deny them so yours will be ahit. System threads

Every Day

Every day I am learning. Learning what it is to be human; that we are flawed and broken creatures who still manage to piece together this mosaic of experience to create a beautiful thing. Yes...there is ugliness and dark in the world, but if we can throw enough love in, there will always be a light for those who seek it.

~~~ YOUR AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT ~~~

The teacher had just finished giving her first-graders the basic facts of life. Little Mary raised her hand from a front-row seat. “Can a six-year-old boy make a baby?”

“No,” said the teacher smiling, “that would be impossible. Any other questions, class?”

Pause. Mary again put her hand up. “Can a six-year-old girl make a baby?”

“No,” said the teacher. Whereupon the little boy behind Mary leaned forward and whispered loudly in her ear, “Ya see! I told ya, ya didn’t have nothin’ to worry about!”

All your agreements, all your disagreements, are just finding ways to remain the way you are, not to change. People’s whole lives are devoted to one work: How not to change. They GO on saying, “I don’t want to be miserable,” and they go on doing things which make them miserable. They go on saying, “I want to change,” but I look deep down in them and they don’t want to change.

In fact, this express desire that they want to change is again a trick not to change; so they can say to the world, “I am trying to change and I am saying loudly and shouting loudly I want to change, and still if nothing is happening what can I do?”

You cannot change – the last thing I would like to say about this question – YOU cannot change. You can only allow change to happen. Trying to change, you will never change. Who is trying? The old? Look at the inner logic of it: you are trying to change yourself. It is almost like pulling yourself up by your own shoe-strings. What can happen out of it? Nothing is possible. You cannot change yourself, because WHO is this one who is trying to change? It is your past. It is you.

You can allow a change to happen. What can you do to allow it? Please don’t agree and disagree with me. You just listen! You just be here. You just let my presence function as a catalytic agent. You just get infected by me. You just catch the disease that I am having, the measles that I am having. You just allow me. You don’t try to change yourself.

Love Always Finds a Way!

By Maria Fontaine MAY 7, 2015

This is a time of great change in the world: technological, economic, religious, political, business, and environmental. The results are seen in governments, organizations, and in the lives of families and individuals. Change is touching all spheres of society.

Many people, from pastors to productivity gurus to life coaches to leaders in society, have realized the benefits of change, whether unexpected or planned, and are extolling its virtues. Everyone knows that it is rough to go through, but when the difficulties are weighed against the benefits that the changes bring about, most agree that it is well worth it.

Much of the benefit that we derive from change depends on how we look at it and whether we embrace it or not. Attitude is a key factor. Attitude can make the difference between succeeding despite difficulty or succumbing to it.

If we can focus on the positive aspects of change and look at all the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges as necessary means to get us to our destination, we can actually enjoy the trip. Life is a journey, and change, even big change, is a part of life’s “equation.”

As we follow the Lord and strengthen our faith through His Word, we can trust that a positive outcome will occur regardless of the circumstances. Faith helps us through difficult times.

As Christians, we have the advantage of the Bible and God’s words in other literature. We have prayer (whether it be private or from others), personal prophecy, praise, and meditation to assist us during these times. In addition, there are many individuals who have very positive experiences from the changes that they’ve gone through or have helped others go through, who can be an encouragement to us.

Some important factors that I’ve found personally helpful include:

1. Developing a positive attitude about change in general, as well as specific changes that affect me. Trying to look at, or anticipate, the prospective good results ahead. Since there isn’t any way we can stop change—and if we try, it will knock us over—I’ve found that the best thing to do is to embrace it and “go with the flow.” Being positive gives us buoyancy and skill in riding waves of change that we wouldn’t have otherwise been able to.

2. Asking the Lord to help me to see the benefits of the big changes that He’s bringing into my life. I like to “mine” these benefits by seeking Him for the understanding and wisdom that is needed to get the most out of these changes. He speaks to me and gives me the answers that I need when I desperately seek Him.

3. Realizing that at times the toughest things that I have to pass through are the things that are the most beneficial for me in the long run. It can be hard to think of this when I’m going through a difficult situation. But it helps to remind myself that the faith and trust I must exhibit as I hang on may be one of the things that will help me to grow the most in that particular situation. Sometimes I just need to “hold on,” knowing that once the storm passes, the sun will come out and I will see everything in a new light.

4. Connecting with the Lord regularly for my personal encouragement and guidance, through communing with His Word, through meditation and prayer, etc. As destabilizing as change can be, God’s Spirit will always remain our anchor, and His Word will give us a faith-filled attitude that will make the ride smoother.

* Remembering that God loves me and cares deeply about me and my happiness and well-being. In His great and all-abiding love for us He sometimes has to bring into our life something that might not seem “good,” but can actually turn out to be an experience of great benefit.

~~ You destroyed your love ~~

When the heart starts functioning you will have a different world around you – because you create your world. If you are doubting you create a world which is filled with doubt, depression, sadness, darkness. If you work through the heart you create a different world – of radiancy, of love, of prayer, of joy – but that is totally different. And you cannot change from one world to another; you will have to change from one center to another. And these centers are within you, the center which doubts and the center which trusts.

When you fall in love, what is the use of reason? How can you use your reason while falling in love? That’s why reason says it is a fall: “falling in love.” Who created this phraseology, “falling in love”? Why not “rising in love”?

Reason has condemned love; reason says it is a fall. And in a way it is, because from the head you fall to the heart. You start functioning from a different center. But how can you use your reason in love? Is there any way to use it? If you use it, you will destroy the whole phenomenon. The first thing reason will say is, “Doubt!” The first thing reason will say is, “Is there anything in existence which you can call love? Is there anything like love? Dissect it.” And if you dissect, love disappears.

Love is a unity and a very delicate harmony; it cannot be dissected. It is just like a small child jumping, dancing, enjoying. He is alive. You cut the child, dissect him; you put him on a table, a surgeon’s table, and dissect him to find out where life is, what it was that was alive – you will not find it. Not that it was not there; the way you are trying to find it means you will miss, the very method prohibits. The moment you dissect the child he is dead, the life has disappeared, and by dissecting you will come to death, not to life.

Last words of Muslim Prophet Mohammed (as)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Prophet Muhammad’s (saws) Last Sermon

——————————————————————————–

[This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul-Hijjah 10 A.H. in the

‘Uranah valley of Mount Arafat’ in Mecca.]

After praising and thanking Allah the Prophet (saws) said:

 

"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year

I shall ever be amongst you again.Therefore listen to what I am saying

very carefully and take these words to  those who could not be present here today.

 

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life

and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to

their rightful owners. Hurt no oneso that no one may hurt you. Remember that you

 will indeed meet your Lord, and that he will indeed reckon your deeds.

Allah has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligations

shall henceforth be waived. Your capital is yours to keep. You will neither inflict

nor suffer any inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that

 all the interest due to Abbas ibn ‘Abd’al Muttalib [the Prophet’s uncle] be waived.

 

Every right arising out of homicide in pre-islamic days is henceforth waived and

the first such right that i waive is that arising from the murder of Rabiah ibn al Harithibn.

 

O People, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calender in order to make

permissible that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah has made permissible.

With Allah the months are twelve  in number. Four of them are holy, three of these are

successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Shaban.

 

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope of that

he will be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

 

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women but they also

 have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under

Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right, then to them belongs

the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to

 them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that

they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never

 to be unchaste. O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah,

say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, and give your

 wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.

 

All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab

nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority

over a black nor a black has any  superiority over a white – except by piety

 and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and

 that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a

Muslim which belogs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly.

Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves. Remember one day you will meet Allah and

answer your deeds. So beware: do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

 

O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me, and no new faith will be born.

Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand my words which I convey to you.

 I leave behind me two things, the Qur’an and my Sunnah and if you follow these you

will never go astray.

 

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again;

and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly.

Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people."

being thank full

Today I say all glory be to God, the All Mighty. I give thanks for this new day, I will rejoice and be glad in it. The Word of God tells us not to be ashamed or even be scared to spread His word, I am going to use this blog as often and as much as possible to motivate myself and possibly others in Gods goodness, a Godly thought is a positive thought. I love these words from a song I sing daily "satan the blood of Jesus is against you" and YES satan you have been DEFEATED. God blesses us all with his love, His love endures forever. God bless

What a beautiful day, glorious rain yesterday, which we have not had in a long time, more rain on the way. That is worth being thankful for. As the words in a song go, "let the love of Jesus rain down on you." Thank you Lord Jesus for all your love and care, I know that Your Love is eternal and knows no boundaries.

Wow another week has passed, I give thanks and praise to God for giving us these days. This last week I have been meditating on His goodness towards us. God's word tells us not to judge others, it's sad to say where ever we go, we tend to pass judgement on others, I pray this day that we start to renew our minds in Jesus Christ, let us put aside our thoughts and differences, and forgive. It is certain that the time will come where we will be judged by our Heavenly Father, a question will be asked "what did you do with the life I gave you on this earth?" Can we receive forgiveness if we ourselves cannot forgive

Sense of Values

Embedded image from another site


By Virginia Brandt Berg Nov 19, 2015

How true that the Lord calls us over the tumult of life’s wild, restless sea. Some time ago, I mentioned to you that I was sitting in a little coffee shop overlooking the ocean here and I was watching the boats far out to sea.

Suddenly, a man at the next table was saying something very interesting and loud enough for us to hear. His companion had asked him the question, “Why did you dismiss Henry from your office force?” And the man replied,

“Well, he had no sense of values! He didn’t value life, health, or money. This began to affect my business. Whenever I wanted him, he was taking a coffee break. It seemed to me he valued a cup of coffee more than his job. I warned him a number of times.”

I thought about that a good deal as I was meditating on it—a cup of coffee rather than a good position. And the little sailboats kept skimming over the water just as a light wind had risen.

I thought how many people just go skimming over the surface things of life and never have any sense of values, like the man that he was speaking of—just living off the nonessentials, the inconsequential things of life crowding out the things that are worthwhile, and robbing them of the things that are in the long run really worthwhile.

God doesn’t fit in second place! He fits nowhere but first, and there are certain things He has entrusted us with that fit only in first place too; you can’t put them secondarily and be right with God.

Trivial temporal things so often are put first, and God and His Word crowded into a secondary place. And if that’s the case, all of life is just thrown out of balance, and the result is only disharmony and disruption and confusion.

I wonder, are the great realities of life in the proper perspective in your life? Or do you let little trivialities and material things come before the reading of God’s Word and prayer, and excuse yourself by saying, “I’m busy; I don’t have time”? Maybe you’d better question your own heart about your sense of values. (Proverbs 3:3, 7:3; Deuteronomy 11:18 - Matthew 15 KJV)

The Bible contains the very Word of God! There is life in that Word, that precious Bible, that’s food for your soul. It’s absolutely essential to the growth of your soul. If you don’t have time for it, then your soul’s going to starve and you’re certainly going to be a dwarf spiritually. And prayer is communion with God. Without prayer you walk unempowered, in your own strength and wisdom.

God’s Word says, “Without Me, ye can do nothing.” On the other hand, it says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” That strength comes only through prayer and the reading of God’s Word. You can hardly depend for that strength needed on a weak little hurried verse, or a little tiny prayer just before you hop into bed half asleep and sort of dazed. You couldn’t call that “seeking first!” (John 15:5 -Philippians 4:13 - Matthew 6:33)

The one that lives for time instead of eternity has no sense of values. It happens every day that someone will say, not by their word perhaps, but by their actions, “I just don’t care about getting the mansions in heaven and I’m not so interested about eternal things. Give me rather a mansion and a crown here, with a little fame and glory and the favor of man and the pleasures of sin for a season, and I’ll be a little satisfied here.”

And the King of kings, the Lord of lords, who has offered them a robe of righteousness, a crown of glory, an eternal home among the many mansions there, is put aside just for these “other things” that really have no value.

Will you bow your heads in a word of prayer?

Our Father in heaven, we pray that Thou wilt help us to have a keen sense of values, and the realization that we are put here to prepare for eternity and not for time!—That our citizenship is in heaven. God help us to understand.

A Christian Worldview for the 21st Century Pt. 2

Embedded image from another site


For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. Proverbs 4:17-19 KJV

The Christian response

Today’s cultural, societal, intellectual, secular, and moral environment, fused with widespread questioning, skepticism, and rejection of what have been accepted standards and values for years, has brought about a fundamental shift in many people’s values, ethics, worldview, relationship to authority, and their interactions with other people. For many it’s much more difficult to know what one can place trust in. While for some, conditions of the world and society may draw them to the message of the Gospel, for others the environment of today’s world makes it much more difficult for them to relate to it, much less believe it or receive it.

This presents those of us who are committed to sharing the Gospel with numerous challenges, not least of which is that we are called to bring a message about a man who lived and died and was resurrected 2,000 years ago—with the claim that this is the most important message they will ever encounter. It is therefore vital for the mission-minded Christian to find new and creative ways to express and deliver the timeless message of the love of God in a manner that speaks to the people of today’s world. No doubt Christians of the past have had challenges in their time periods as well, but today’s world is our challenge.

We are faced with the challenge of how we present Jesus in a manner that resonates with those we interact with, especially when, in the West at least, many non-Christians hold values which cause Christianity to be seen as irrelevant to their lives and worldview. It seems that in some areas of the world, where Christianity is growing, sharing the Gospel can be done more easily as people are more inclined to believe in spiritual matters, especially if they live in countries where there is more evidence of spiritual power, generally seen in evil spirits and their works. In many supposedly sophisticated countries, it can sometimes be difficult to bring up the topic of God, let alone Jesus, because widespread secularism, materialism, and intellectualism have replaced belief in God and made Him irrelevant to their belief system. Of course, Christians living in countries that don’t have a Christian heritage or culture, such as Eastern and Middle Eastern nations, face different challenges in making the message relatable.

FOR EVERY WORD YOU SAY ABOUT THE DEVIL, YOU SHOULD SAY SEVERAL ABOUT THE LORD!

We shouldn't talk too much about the negative and the Devil's dirt and his dirty work, but we sometimes have to in order to expose him and reveal what he does and how he works. If you don't recognize the Enemy's work, how are you going to get the victory over it? We need to be forewarned and forearmed against his devices so we'll know how to pray, how to get the victory and how to keep it!

Jesus didn't talk very much about the works of the Devil, but He did warn people a lot about them. The Scripture says we're not to be unaware of the Devil's devices (2Cor.2:11 KJV). In other words, we are to beware of his devices. But we're not to get so fascinated by studying how he works that it becomes a form of morbid curiosity, a fascination for evil! When you begin admiring the Devil's work, then it's a form of worship! The only way you can get rid of the Devil is to defy him, resist him, rebuke him and refuse to obey him!

See no man save Jesus only! (1Cor.2:2 KJV). Glorify the Lord and talk about His wondrous works!

It’s Never Too Late to Start Over - Final

Embedded image from another site


There hath 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 ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 & Revelation 2:4 KJV

I don’t care what your failure is in life. You are not washed up unless you choose to quit, unless you choose to give up, unless you choose to reject the grace of God. The choice is condemnation or confession. You can either live in condemnation or you can confess it and get on with life. Forget the former and focus on the future.

4. Trust God to work it all out.

In Romans 8:28, “We know that to those who love God, who are called according to his plan, everything that happens fits into a pattern for good.” God is working out a pattern in the fabric of our lives that’s going to be beautiful. It all fits. But sometimes from our point of view it looks like a jumble, a mess. We look at our lives and think, “How can anything good come out of this?”

I used to worry about the source of the problems that come into our lives a lot more than I do now. Is this problem from the devil? Is this problem from other Christians? Is this problem from the Lord? Is this problem something I’ve brought on myself? The longer I grow as a Christian, the more I think I understand that it doesn’t really matter the source of your problem. It doesn’t matter if the devil brought it on or other people caused it or if you caused it yourself. God will still use it. God has a way of overriding our big mistakes. He works them all out.

God wants to take your greatest failure—that area of greatest failure that you want to hide and keep secret—and He wants to turn it into your greatest strength. He wants to make a life message out of it. What is your area of weakness? Whatever it is, that’s what God wants to work on, if you stop regretting and stop having a pity party and let Him work in your life.

**

GOD'S LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES!

God's love is so great, it will descend to any depths to save, go any lengths to rescue. He can love man in his lowest estate and save him in his hour of need from his most pitiful plight! For Him there is no stopping place, no limit to which He will not go to save a poor lost soul with His infinite love and unlimited mercy! He stoops to the level of our need!

"The Love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen can ever tell!
It goes beyond the highest star, and even to the lowest Hell!"

Look at the mercy of Christ! "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth" (Mat.12:40 KJV). He went down into the bowels of Hell and was one of them in order to preach the Gospel of deliverance to the spirits that were in prison there!

"Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit?--Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into Heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in Hell, behold, Thou art there! If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me!" (Ps.139:7-10 KJV).
