"From personal experience, I have come to learn and know the significance
of living a day at a time. Excepting the past, and learning from that, tomorrow is
not here yet, live with what is at hand this day. And since having God in my life,
and striving to live each day, keeping in remembrance of God's wisdom, I believe to
be a full time daily responsibility to practice the inspired teachings pertaining to the
principles of life...here in the now."


'I surely trust God's wisdom, knowing how my life has become more orderly and manageable
by acting upon and earnestly striving to apply His wisdom in my daily life. And I know
it has and does work in my life, so long as I am persistent, accordingly...believe it!
'Amen'


"Make no mistake, attempting to 'outsource' God's inspired wisdom shall likely bring cause of great worldly foolishness."

"And I believe this to be true. I have shared before that this spiritual journey of
twenty-five years has been a decade of sharing, as I believe the first decade being actually
a time of spiritual preparation before I felt spiritually inclined to share. Make no mistake,
the first decade was a time of great revelations laid upon my heart...believe it!"

'I never intended nor thought of practicing spiritual discipline from the beginning, but as the
years slipped by, I became more and more focused on the purpose of God's wisdom, and by acting
upon this I realized, I had been willing to change accordingly, and surely my life took on
a different personality than the old days before my commitment of putting God in my life.'
"Amen"


"Spiritual preparation, being acquired through acting upon the inspired wisdom of Christ...no more...no less."

"There's three kinds of men: the one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation and the rest of
them have to tinkle on the electric fence for themselves."
'Amen'

'Praise God'
I was one of those who got electrocuted by the fence. It happened several times thru out my life. I cried out to God many times and he rescued me every time. Now, I had learned enough to not go near those fences. I had asked God and let God take total control of me. It's amazing how the most powerful God and creator of the universe can be so gentle, comforting, providing, loving and caring. If I didn't have those experiences I wouldn't believe it.

"There are things to be remembered as positive and learning experiences, that may
well be helpful, here in the now. Then there being the negative and troublesome times of my past, that are
of no value to hold onto, and may well bring cause of remorse, which being of no worthy value
in my life now. Thank God, since my commitment of putting God in my life, there have been no repeats of
some of the troublesome paste. I know I am not designed to be of perfect character, but I am surely thankful
for the spiritual maturity to lead a more orderly and manageable life...here in the now. Believe it."


'I believe a big problem arises when one cannot let go of a troublesome or hurtful past that may bring
cause of remorse or resentment. These emotional scars can surely fester into a real life problem, and
can linger indefinably, until one truly learns to not only put God in their life, but open the heart
and allow God's spirit to fill the heart and mind with love and His wisdom and guidance.'


"Know this and know it well. There being nothing more debilitating than self inflicted misery
and/or suffering, arising from living a selfish self- centered life. This never will be compatible with
knowing of true calm and peace in one's life."

"Let go...let God"

"I have learned the importance of calmness and trust, and this has come about
through earnestly making an effort to act upon God's inspired wisdom, believe it.
And make no mistake, over time this has come to be a blessing, bringing about a closer
family bond. Calmness of myself, I am more equipped to bring together love and patience
when disturbances arise. And I surely know and trust, when God's wisdom is applied, things
surely come together for the benefit of all involved. Never doubt this truth, I have come to learn of."


'Self-centeredness surely has a way of often bringing cause of unnecessary disturbances, that could
well be eliminated if only one would come to learn to actually apply and act upon God's inspired wisdom.
And reading and having knowledge of the inspired teachings of Christ, and not acting upon His wisdom,
comes truth of one's unwillingness to change, and not truly benefiting with a calm and trusting life...here in the now.'


"Many should carefully ponder Matthew 13:13

"I know of this has been told of, but I am only capable of striving to do the best I know how,
and to act upon and practice the inspired teachings of Christ. And by doing so, my faith grows in
knowing God's wisdom surely can bring about beneficial rewards of great significance in living
my life, here in the now, believe it."
'Amen'


'I believe acting solely upon the nature of a physical and materialistic life, without an honest
effort to practice spiritual discipline, one may never truly have the ability to realistically experience
and/or know or relate to the Kingdom of heaven, here in the now, and this being of a peace, calmness,
wellbeing and an endless display of love without a thought of selfishness or self centeredness. And
spiritual discipline being an unwavering faith in God's inspired wisdom.'


"To experience the probability of the idea of the Kingdom of Heaven here in the now and/or beyond, requires
steadfast spiritual discipline with perseverance, and a willingness to change No more...no less."

"Make no mistake, each day I give thanks for the spiritual awakening that came
upon my life years ago, and surely has forever been a blessing, believe it.
'Amen'
Never doubt that revelations and wisdom through the gift of the Holy Spirit surly
takes place since I have learned and and come to know spiritual realism lies outside
of the materialistic world."


'To be crystal clear, as I have shared before. I make no claim of being one that is special in any
way. And to be declared in the image of Christ surely starts and ends with the heart, and from
there arises things never thought of from foolish worldly 'thinking'. My spiritual reality, being
with the characteristic act of thought, that affirms the existence of immaterial reality imperceptible to the senses.'


"Only through consecration and a loving heart shall come to be a recognizable spiritual intimacy with God."

"I have shared about my spiritual experience, and my view of perceiving God coming
into my life, as a
"friend" to help me up out of the mire of my old ways of living my life.
And with this perspective of God as a
"friend", my spiritual growth, surely has been enhanced. Believe it." 'Amen'


'Religious conversion refers to the adoption of a new religious identity or a change from one religious identity to another.
And undoubtedly, there being those that have stumbled from one set of beliefs and doctrines to
another, and perhaps never coming to a solid reality of God as a friend, they being the unfortunate ones.'


'Sadly, in today's world, due to 'worldliness', it would appear, many have scattered far from the
spirit of God, and declared themselves as a friend that attempts to replace spiritual wisdom, with their own
worldly delusional interpretations, which only further corrupts the inspired teachings of Christ.'

"I have learned, just because I made a commitment of having God in my life, does not
render my life free of disturbances. But I have learned and come to know, by acting upon
the inspired wisdom and the principles of life, I am surely more equipped with the necessary
fortitude to confront disturbances that may arise."


'Many times this has been repeated, about acting upon and applying God's inspired wisdom...
and for good reason. Over the years on this spiritual journey, I have come to know by doing so,
I am not so likely to be the selfish self-centered person I surely once was. And practicing the
remembrance of God's inspired wisdom brings about a peace and calmness with those around me...believe it.'

"I firmly believe, God's work has been done. I am left with the inspired teachings put
forth. And, it is not for me to change and/or rearrange the inspired instructions, or attempt to
implement worldly foolishness. I thank God, I have learned to focus on precisely that which
helps me grow in my spiritual awareness, and this involves my practicing of the principles of life."


'Knowing these principles has surely helped improve my life, believe it. I have gained spiritual
momentum allowing a supply of confidence in the ability to honestly practice the principles of God's wisdom.'


'Until one learns to end personal conflicts, selfishness and self-centeredness that may be currently
disturbing the heart or ones life, the pursuit of God's strength and attaining understanding will likely not be attainable,
in any age.'


"Moving forward with spiritual momentum requires "ACTION"... action of acting upon God's inspired wisdom, here in the now."

"I have gained spiritual energy through striving to apply and act upon the inspired
teachings of Christ, in my daily life. This energy has allowed the confidence to share,
and hopefully to be an encouragement to those struggling with life disturbances."


'I believe only through people, shall be the result of God's spirit to be fully known, here in the now.
God's work having been done, appears not to fully register with many. Claiming to have God
in one's life, may be unlikely to be recognized, when worldly foolishness attempts to
outsource the inspired wisdom of Christ.'


'And when told God can and will do this and/or that, appears not be clearly comprehended and
fully explained. Only through applying and acting upon the inspired wisdom and the guidance
provided, and then practicing them in one's own life. This being the way of God's help, so long

"Thank God I have come to learn the importance of striving to maintain a spiritual heart.
And I believe without, the worldly heart surely has a way of bringing cause of being disillusioned
with doubt and/or confusion, since a worldly heart being not overly compatible with striving to maintain
a spiritual heart."


'God's energy is derived from a spiritual heart. To truly grasp the essence of God as a divine being,
one must open their heart and mind to the awe-inspiring realization that they are in the presence of a higher power.
This understanding brings about a sense of humility and reverence, igniting a deep connection with the divine.'

"Miracles are often described as extraordinary events that defy natural laws and human understanding."
(
according to the Bible, a miracle is an event that occurs outside the ordinary course of nature and cannot
be explained by natural or scientific laws, which is attributed to divine intervention or the direct agency of God
.)

"And I will leave it at that. Each may come to whatever conclusion that fits within one's own realm
of personal experiences. I know the event that occurred in my life, forever has surely brought about
a new me...believe it. And not being obligated to prove anything, and as stated at some time, there simply are
no sufficient words to describe the "happening" that took place in my life, years ago...(1996) I remember well.'
"Amen"


'Having read words of those attempting to explain how God touched one's life, it is not for me to judge
one's own personal experience. It happens, or one may have a tendency to exaggerate to gain attention.
Character of words often has a way of reflecting one's trueness.'


"A spiritual awakening being an extraordinary 'event' that simply is unexplainable."

"Thank God, I am fully aware and know it is solely up to myself to hopefully reap the benefits from
God's inspired power. I personally consider this to be a profound spiritual energy in my life.
And, I have learned and know this surely depends upon my discipline and practice of God's inspired
wisdom and instructions put forth through the teachings inspired through Christ, and remembrance
of the gift of the Holy Spirit, being my spiritual comforter and guidance, here in the now.
So long as I know I must surely apply and act upon this spiritual awareness, in all my coming and going,
to the best of my honest intentions to do so."


'It surely being conceivable, many there are that appear rebellious, by and/or attempting to outsource the
spiritual reality, through worldly man mind notions of foolishly rearranging and/or adding or removing

"I believe through my personal spiritual awakening, God's grace and mercy were
surely a profound factor that brought about a reprieve of my old life that was out of control.
And I became spiritually delivered from the near death of alcoholism, and became delivered and spiritually
born again into a renewed life through the commitment of focusing on God's spirit upon my life for the
inspired help and guidance of a better way of living my life..so long as I strive to maintain my spiritual wellness, God's
love and wisdom are always on standby, so long as I earnestly work at applying and acting upon God's intended purpose
of this life, here in the now."


'It being conceivable, many there are that know not of an actual spiritual awakening, and often this comes
about in the lowest time of one's life. Life or death brings cause of miraculous unexplained events that
have and surely do take place in lives of many. Thank God, I have witnessed this to be...being of few.'

"I have learned the idea of looking to God's leading and guidance requires
my acknowledgement, acceptance, remembrance and the practice of acting upon
and applying God's wisdom in my life, to the best of my spiritual ability. And I have
