A NEW BEGINNING

​A new beginning

 
            When the bills are paid; while your kids are getting good great grades, when they are pleasant conversations and laughter among the neighbors- the sidewalks are filled with citizens & their pets… swans and docks glazed effortlessly over the park’s pond, no families quarrel, no community violence while one may rest quietly outside or inside on a hammock or a sofa. When there’s no war and there is peace. Nations needs to fight for this peace. It does not come naturally in human nature… well not yet; our group conscience has not developed to that state, yet, I’m hopeful that one day we can achieve this state of being as a species. I honestly believe humans can obtain the nature to possess peace among humanity.
            Nevertheless, this won’t come without obtaining inner peace. Communities cannot live in harmony as long as inner quarrels are within people. Jesus demonstrates such a level of humanity.
            “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid, “ – John 14:25-27


What is this peace Jesus speaks about? Simply solitude even when noise fills their air; enjoying the screams of the infants, find the melody of the toads within the swamps. When the car breaks down, however, you do not sweat the circumstances. When you chose to pay the electric bill to keep the lights on then at same time you don’t worry about the empty refrigerator to find the food to place on the stove. This is called serenity. This is also known as Jesus’ peace. The Holy Spirit dwelling within one’s character much like water flows through a living plant. This is the peace Christianity have found as they walk their journey here on Earth, Hell is present but the Kingdom of Heaven reign.
            “What cause fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want so you quarrel and fight? You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” – James 4:1-3
We have come a long distance from the beginning of time. Humanity have somewhat matured in our spiritual walk with God. We obviously still have a long journey to continue. Last Day, End of Age, Armageddon; humans have much to understand and desire before true peace reaches a solid state in human beings.
            “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” – Philippians 4:7
Let’s embrace this task together. Like a convoy, let’s travel the distance far from this state of heart we presently obtain; far in the east to far from the west. Let God give us a new heart with a new mind which is set upon Him for a new Earth under the new administration of Heaven for the same purpose of humanity; love, justice & liberity.

I WANT TO FLY IN THE SPIRIT; FORCE OF WIND

​I WANT TO FLY IN THE SPIRIT; FORCE OF WIND

 
            Only the Lord can perfectly balance justice and love. Knowing God brings understanding the knowing of truth. Is there an absolute truth upon this Earth? What in life can we be certain about? Is faith the certainty of knowing what is real regardless of seeing it physically?
            “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
                                                                                                                        Hebrew 11:1
            You may talk with a girl as a man pursuing her into a deeper relationship. But you know her only after experiencing an intimate relationship with her. The Greek word “ginosko” means to know based on experience. This is a word found in the Bible based on original Greek text. This is the type of knowing before we are aware of faith. Before we become familiar with the Spirit
            “Why does the Almighty not set times for judgement? Why must those who know him look in vain for such days? - Job 24:1
Job knew he had a relationship with God. And Job knew this before he physically saw or heard Him. When do we come to term with being aware of what is right & wrong? Are we born with this talent? Does it come as we reach puberty? … or when do we develop a conscience? What is a conscience? How does this part of the psychic with the understanding of truth and wrong; good & bad, sick or normal, truth and justice? How does one establish a deeper understanding of what is right; how does one know which way one should live? What must one obtain to gain a career? How does one understand what the benefit is in leverage of money? Can this reality of money within the relationship with God steal His fruit of joy? How does one know? One may be able to arrive at a utopia here on Earth. The Bible is the Word of God. In the New Testament it reads “The Good News” of Jesus Christ, the Son of God as the gospel. We can find in the scriptures what is true. It reads through the spirit and mind of humans. When one becomes familiar with scripture it opens the ability to know the Lord. More like a constant memory of good meal. Do you read the Bible?
            Because then I would tell you that all ability to rise in the Spirit and fly to touch the outer limits of the Earth is possible for everyone who overcomes this world. Since anyone who seeks to find a relationship with the creator of the universe will find Him. Anything moving (searching) can be found only after we know ourselves within the presence with a plan to execute a strategy. Not so much an eternal plan but a focus point; a plan still to submit to His Will. The will that we find in Him as the creator of the universe. In the spiritual realm when the plan connects with faith it will ignite into the fire of the Word traveling further than life reveals. When we grow in understanding of this process, we move to know Him intimately and we’re able to understand a better balance of truth and love. The fragrance travels further for the synergy of faith ignites the distance of communication… unto the skies and we know the meaning of seeing God.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Psalms: 35:1 &2- “Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me; Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid.”

OUR EYES WITNESS WHY...

​OUR EYES WITNESS WHY…

            You become aware, while watching the news, of a neighbor, middle-aged male who lives alone not far from your home. You learn the police surrounded his home and arrested him. He alleged of molesting several girls in a local school who were around the age of twelve. A few weeks later you see on the news again while you’re at home that the same neighbor was not going to attend trail because he was found dead while incarcerated. You find yourself leaning closer to the television with a curious thought; was he dead because of murder or suicide? The question arrives in your conscious was this considered bad or justice?
            Again, there is a coworker you know, an outgoing but properly polite human being. You rarely speak with the person, but you are aware this person is a homosexual. There is no shame or hiding towards their sexuality; as the expression goes, this person is one who wears their heart on their sleeve. One day you overhear rumors in the break room. Apparently, this coworker body was found in the dumpster. A sick feeling enters your stomach. You definitely question the ethics of justice or the morality of your environment; the vibes of your environment… what you use to find humorous and laugh about together within the break room.
            Jesus faced injustice. We are aware of this fact. Nevertheless, there comes an ah-ah moment within everyone’s eyes when we realize that Jesus was a legit person and not just an idea. Knowing God is a relationship not a subject. Understanding the nature of humanity we’re able to witness that only God balance justice and love. What does it mean to balance justice and love? Justice is the consequences of sin growing within humanity to the third and fourth generations. (Genesis 20:5 & 6) Love endures forever. (I Corinthians 13: 8) God is love. (I John 4:8) Nevertheless, God is a just God. There is a judgement and outcome to one’s sinful nature. However, we should be able to see that we as humans cannot outshine the morality of injustice. One cannot possibly understand the how and why things happen within their life as they encounter the outcome of their fate. We blame karma; question superstitions beliefs, have emotional outburst and episodes, yet, a solid sound answer we never find. Human cannot balance justice and love
