The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #2 – Earthly Ministry

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #2 – Earthly Ministry

This is the evangelistic period when the knowledge of God is sown in the heart of the believer by the Spirit. The hearer receives the word through listening to teachings, reading scripture, books and literature. Devotions, quiet times, and prayers become part of daily living. Guard the heart and protect all that is given. Anyone desiring to only know God will be separated to a secret place to hear more than what is written in the bible or spoken in…

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #1 – Birth

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #1 – Birth

The first step in the spiritual journey begins with the birth. The birth, not of natural form but rather of spiritual form may begin with feeling there is something ‘more’. That nothing or no one on this earth can fill the need of a longing that can’t even really be described. Things we once enjoyed are no longer fulfilling, and an overall deep longing is the prevailing mood. There may be what is known as heartache, but it is really the…

The Spiritual Journey: Seven Significant Events

The Spiritual Journey: Seven Significant Events

The spiritual journey consists of seven significant events that mirror the life of Jesus. Only when these spiritual events are completed will our lives be completely transformed with a new God-like nature, prepared to fulfill the highest calling on our life. Each significant event is a process uniquely created to bring each of us out of bondage and into freedom. This pilgrimage requires a solitude and quietness that can, many times, lead to feeling isolated and helpless. But with diligence, obedience, constant…

Everything Seems Backwards

Everything Seems Backwards

In a dream, I was leaning over tying my tennis shoes. When I stood up and took a step, I looked down and my shoes were on backwards. I sat back down, switched and re-tied them. When I stood up and took a couple of steps, I saw my shoes were on backwards again. As I sat back down, I thought, “What the heck is going on?” No matter how many times I switched them, when I stood up to…

It’s OK to Kick Up Some Dust

It’s OK to Kick Up Some Dust

God understands where we are and the things we face, and He understands if there are times we may grumble a little bit and ‘kick the dirt’, so to speak. Sometimes this is the way for us to get our heart right first. Then, we are to remember the importance of godly integrity and honesty in everything we do and say. We must refuse to allow the fear of rejection to tempt us to use deception as a means of…

Fleecing

Fleecing

Fleecing is a medium, acting as an intervening force to determine some action, or direction desired. The word ‘if’ always accompanies the fleece and exempts the individual of the responsibility for the course taken. By using a fleece, the eternal spirit is deprived of its rightful authority to give divine instructions to the asker.

There Is Only One

There Is Only One

There is one of all. Every one and every thing is an extension or indication of that one original existence. For example, there is only one love. When it is broken up and applied to objects, it is seen as many kinds of love: love your child, love your dog, love your house, love your job. But when it is left whole and pure, and not broken up, then Love knows no bounds. The same is true with fear. There…

Dreams & Visions

Dreams & Visions

Dreams and visions are methods used to reveal lessons, provide instruction, counsel and direction, and even warnings. Prophetic events also occur through this medium. Dreams and visions can range from severity to humorous, depending on the dreamers’ attention to the spiritual journey. Life’s purpose determines intensity and frequency of the dreams. Corresponding events always follow a dream or vision and may transpire immediately, or occur at a later time. Either way, the natural desire to know can allow the imagination to…

Surrender

Surrender

The long, slow process of surrender enables the believer to enter their eternal home. To finally belong in a spiritual environment that’s satisfying is where safety, security and happiness reside. Little by little, self-created ideas and plans are surrendered until the believer is totally disconnected from the past addictive nature and its sensual earth bound life. Total surrender of the will is when the believer has been stripped of former values and worth and can begin the transformation to the…
