Lost: Families

I don't seem to understand why it is so hard for our families to come together or to forgive each other. I notice that we can more easily forgive a friend or stranger than a brother , sister, uncle, aunt or parent. What must we do to be able to forgive the ones we are suppose to love as family, over those that we know friend or neighbor? I mean, we more often will forgive and forget what was done by a friend than what your sister or brother did or said.

Love is suppose to be the glue that binds families together, but we let guilt, envy, jealousies, money, property and anger divide families for generations. The family sometimes never recovers the lose love, respect and joy that once was shared when growing up and living under one household. We have allowed the family to die due to the pride of the individual to have more weight than the love of family. We have allowed the outside influences to have more sway in our lives than love of family.

We need to find whatever will work to bring us together as a family, a community, a city , a nation and the entire world. What will stop the destruction of the family? God is waiting for all of us to realize that we are all one family. We live together, we die together. Let us start by praying as a family. Praying changes things. I've tested it. It brought my daughter off the streets and she is starting school in September. Thank God!

Stay to the Right

I have come to understand that when you speck to yourself it should not be in hate or haste.Speck to yourself in love, a righteous and positive manner. Be positive, so that your heart's desire shall be manifested in your life.

We are more than what we do to make a life for ourselves( job, business, family,etc). Stop putting yourself down just because you did something wrong a few minutes, hours or even last week.

It is in the past. God is the creator that is in the NOW. God 's gift is the "present" , not in your past. Learn to forgive yourself, because God loves you enough to forgive your mistakes(sins), even before you do. Don't believe me? Ask God ! Love is all God (Romans 8:37-38). We are all here to love, experience, learn and teach.

When we allow love to rule over our lives, then we are living the right life that God intended . When we love ourselves and each other, doing for each other. Then you are living without haste or hate ruling your life.

God's blessings will rain down on you !

All things in life can be conquered by the love of God through the spiritual connection that is non-destructible by man. God is in all of us, for we are all connected by God which is spirit/ energy/ power/ life/ breath.
(Gen 1:27, 2:7; I cor 6:17)

The only way to God is the right way, so stay to the right.

Words

Words have the power to build or destroy. In many cases the words that are said are more powerful than a gun or bomb. Words used in prayer have the same effect. Let us pray for life and not death. Let us pray for peace and love, not hate and war.

Use your words of power in prayer, not to curse or profane . The words you speck have power. Speck in love, not hate. Speck to heal, not to hurt. Speck to build up, not to destroy.

Words have power, be careful where you point them.

For the Holidays(Everyday)

Since Mankind is blessed to have the power, intelligence and knowledge to create instruments of destruction ; and the greater capacity to create beauty, joy and peace. Which would bring us closer to what God desired for us to be and achieve?

Your Spiritual Growth Is In Your Hands

This is going to be very brief. I am going to give you something to think about as it regards religion and the organized church. They are some Churches, Sects, Orders and Denominations that are not interested in your spiritual growth. They are not interested in you growing in faith and spiritual power, just coming to church (for your money) and not learning what you need to do to change your life for the better. We are here for three reasons as I see it: 1) to love God; 2) to love each other; 3) to experience life to the utmost!
The church is not a building, it is you! Religion is enslavement to a physical structure, a deity, a certain denomination and/or sect. God wants you to be free. Jesus wants you to be free. In fact, Jesus, never wanted a religion to be constructed based upon his teachings. Jesus taught that you are the church and you are to love God and each other, nothing more. Read your WORD and learn for yourself. It is true we all need guidance , but we learn through experience, not from what we are shown, taught, preached to, terrorized or brainwashed to believe. Just think about it.
When Jesus said that Peter is the Rock upon which he will build his Church (Matt16:15-17).Jesus was telling them that the statement that Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." These words are the foundation of the Church. What Peter said that showed his faith and belief in who Jesus is, that is the foundation upon which the Church will be built, not Peter himself. The "keys" are faith, love, and knowledge of the word that will give you the kingdom of heaven! I am not trying to change what you believe, only you can do that. I just want you to thing about how "Organized Religion" has "misused" God's word to suit the "needs" of those in power. Check it out for yourself!
