How I Survive 11/15/2004 12:11:21 PM
When I can't find any peace, or I'm angry , nothing goes my way, I know that someone wants my attention! I love Lake Tahoe California/Nevada. I live just an hour away. If I can't be happy there, I can't be happy anywhere. It isn't the Casino/nightlife, but the pristine beauty of lake surrounded by Sierra mountains with woods and evergreens that touch the sky,and untouched wild , natural beauty . It is modern/quaint with enough of each to please everyone. I have never met anyone who doesn't like Lake Tahoe! The natural beauty says"Made by God"
So if I'm there, and I'm restless, unhappy, or upset, I know the problem lies in my relationship with God. This is the barometer I learned to use with the Lord. When I can't find any peace, or I'm angry , nothing goes my way, I know the Lord wants my attention! I learned once when dying in the hospital, how the Lord wants me to come to him for my needs. Or when he has something to share with me for my future good,or for someone elses good.
Once a person has said they believe in God, Father Son, Holy Spirit, there is a union that can never be severed. Some may find that unacceptable, but I know it to be true, after thirty years of deep study and meditation/ communion, I learned that only my rebellion and turning away will leave the door open to Satan to rob me of my peace and joy. God never turns away.
He is always Good and ever-loving, merciful and just!
Once we are given the privilege of knowing God loves us and keeps His promises, wants to guide us on the course He has set for us, it is only our lust of the flesh for whatever it is that we desire( money, power, things, sex etc) that is not the Father's will for us, then we cannot have His peace that passes all understanding and we will always be in a tug of war between the flesh and the spirit. These are old truths that we cannot get away from, no matter how hard we try, or how modern our doctrine has become!
There are many ways people find to get closer to the Creator. Many Religions have different aspects they use. I am a Christian, not just because I was born into a family of Christians, but because I made that choice. However, I also have a very broad horizon that does not please many Christians , because I find nothing wrong with Yoga, or using mantra's or other faiths methodology. I believe God is the God of all Faith's, and however he decides to arrange heaven and who gets there is His business. Because, I believe Christ is the way for me, does not negate what someone else may believe. God gave us a choice, who am I to take it away from others.
The way God showed me to come to him for my needs to be met is different than what he will show you. I believe He gives us each our own signature with Him, to be recognized. I was shown to come before His throne where He reigns as the "I Am" in majesty, Jesus is there as Saviour and Judge, and Holy Spirit is Guard and Guide.This is what I was shown on my deathbed, and it is the way I go before Him for the most important causes, and with humility, and reverence, using the names as I have written them, and waiting for the answers in a meditative holy silence...
The way you spend time with Him is special and different, however certain criteria will apply to all! That we always remember God is HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, PERFECT, GOOD, LOVING! We must revere Him and address Him in the ways He deserves. He is not our "daddy" To present Him as such can be confusing to those who are abused by their fathers. Don't try to make Him more amenable and bring Him to earth to suit your way of thinking, allow Him to be who He is and you rise to His status. He will lift you up if you let Him!
