~Thought for Today~
"It is not your circumstances that need altering so much as yourself. After you have changed, conditions will naturally change. Spare no effort to become all that God would have you become. Follow every good leading of your conscience. Take each day with no backward look. Face the day's problems with God, and seek God's help and guidance as to what you should do in every situation that may arise. Never look back. Never leave until tomorrow the thing that you are guided to do today."

"Individually, in our worldly drunken illusory view, we are severely limited in what we can do. By ourselves, we can do little or nothing except drown out the bleaknesses and frustrations of life. A man without power is NOTHING. With POWER, however, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
That POWER is, of course, SPIRITUAL POWER, the POWER of THE CREATOR,
.... mankind needs power, lots of it, to survive. This means getting in touch with the SOURCE of power and the
ONENESS of all things ..... so that every act becomes a spiritual act, every day a spiritual day. It is thus that we
come to live a COMPLETELY SPIRITUAL LIFE and we come to the Full Realization that the visible world is but a part of a GREATER SPIRITUAL WORLD, and that the Spiritual world and the Visible world are One Reality."

Amen Bingo, we need to think on that spiritual plane to recognize the enemy. Paul said it best here: Eph. 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." :cool:

John 16:7-11 (NIV) 7 "But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned."

Satan is the current god of this world. The full armor of the one and only true God is our protection.
2 Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

The reason Jesus Christ came to earth and allowed Himself to be condemned was to destroy the works of the devil: 1 John 3:8 "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

It appears that is our job also: John 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

That is what we are doing on this forum! :)

Willing To Be Changed...

Posted by Bingo , August 09, 2013 · 1280 views

"Willing to be changed...willing to be changed...for within one's self...one must be willing to change...
the strength comes from trusting in God...a revelation from the heart of knowing God's words...
speaks of the Holy Spirit as the Divine living Christ within one's heart...is this not God's will to be...
holy words tell of the wonders and miracles of Jesus Christ and the purpose of life...our free will...
has went astray...has it not...worldly 'things' have taken away love and harmony within so many lives...
this is known far and wide...the Holy Spirit is a profound enlightenment...if one is willing to change...
open thy heart and soul to the Holy Spirit...it is said...one's old life must die...this is known to be...
a new life...to be reborn with the Holy Spirit within one's self...this to be God's will...
I am you...you are I... 'I'm Alive...I'm Alive...I'm Alive...
'come close to words before you'...I am you...you are I...

"The following article is presented as a subject of profound significance that
perhaps will enlighten or enhance the diversity surrounding our relationship with
Jesus Christ, and how we are all unique in our own character perception of living
life here in the now, as each shall be responsible and accountable of ones own self."

( A valid subject ) ) "What is the difference between religion and spirituality?"
~Observation resource~ Before we explore the difference between religion and spirituality, we must first define the two terms. Religion can be defined as “belief in God or gods to be worshipped, usually expressed in conduct and ritual” or “any specific system of belief, worship, etc., often involving a code of ethics.” Spirituality can be defined as “the quality or fact of being spiritual, non-physical” or “predominantly spiritual character as shown in thought, life, etc.; spiritual tendency or tone.” To put it briefly, religion is a set of beliefs and rituals that claim to get a person in a right relationship with God, and spirituality is a focus on spiritual things and the spiritual world instead of physical/earthly things.
~The most common misconception about religion is that Christianity is just another religion like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. Sadly, many who claim to be adherents of Christianity do practice Christianity as if it were a religion. To many, Christianity is nothing more than a set of rules and rituals that a person has to observe in order to go to heaven after death. That is not true Christianity. True Christianity is not a religion; rather, it is having a right relationship with God by receiving Jesus Christ as the Savior-Messiah, by grace through faith. Yes, Christianity does have “rituals” to observe (e.g., baptism and communion). Yes, Christianity does have “rules” to follow (e.g., do not murder, love one another, etc.). However, these rituals and rules are not the essence of Christianity. The rituals and rules of Christianity are the result of salvation. When we receive salvation through Jesus Christ, we are baptized as a proclamation of that faith. We observe communion in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice. We follow a list of do’s and don’ts out of love for God and gratitude for what He has done.
~The most common misconception about spirituality is that there are many forms of spirituality, and all are equally valid. Meditating in unusual physical positions, communing with nature, seeking conversation with the spirit world, etc., may seem to be “spiritual,” but they are in fact false spirituality. True spirituality is possessing the Holy Spirit of God as a result of receiving salvation through Jesus Christ. True spirituality is the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in a person’s life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Spirituality is all about becoming more like God, who is spirit (John 4:24) and having our character conformed to His image (Romans 12:1-2).
~What religion and spirituality have in common is that they both can be false methods of having a relationship with God. Religion tends to substitute the heartless observance of rituals for a genuine relationship with God. Spirituality tends to substitute connection with the spirit world for a genuine relationship with God. Both can be, and often are, false paths to God. At the same time, religion can be valuable in the sense that it points to the fact that there is a God and that we are somehow accountable to Him. The only true value of religion is its ability to point out that we have fallen short and are in need of a Savior. Spirituality can be valuable in that it points out that the physical world is not all there is. Human beings are not only material, but also possess a soul-spirit. There is a spiritual world around us of which we should be aware. The true value of spirituality is that it points to the fact that there is something and someone beyond this physical world to which we need to connect.
~Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of both religion and spirituality. Jesus is the One to whom we are accountable and to whom true religion points. "Jesus is the One to whom we need to connect and the One to whom true spirituality points."...... "AMEN'
