"I have learned the importance of rest, and by this I am referring to my quiet time,
and often this time is just random. A time I try to reflect on perhaps a specific issue or circumstance
that may have arisen. And I surely rely on God's inspired wisdom as a guidance with whatever
is upon my mind. And, over the years this has been of profound significance in my life...believe it."
'It being conceivable, many there are that appear so obsessed with attempting to explain mysteries of
the Bible, that worldly foolishness has stripped many of spiritual enlightenment.
'Spiritual enlightenment is a state of consciousness that transcends the ego and connects with a higher power.
And when vacant of such enlightenment, it can be well witnessed, the chaotic behavior that surely ensues.'
"Hard to imagine how many lives would surely come to be renewed, with a spiritual enlightenment."
"I am thankful to be on the mend after surgery, and hopefully back out playing golf soon.
I enjoy being outdoors, guess that is one reason I liked being an ironworker.
And I am glad in these dwindling years, that God's grace is surely a beam of spiritual sunlight
in my life." "Amen"
'One should never doubt the spiritual energy manifested from a close relationship with
God's spirit. And most likely this will not be attained when worldliness prevails in one's
selfish and self-centered life, being not compatible with spiritual discipline.'
"It being conceivable, without spiritual discipline, the Kingdom of God shall never be fully known, here in the now."
"I have come to learn, with a spiritual heart, I find it easier to maintain a consciousness
of God's spirit within my life, and in doing so, I have come to know of a calm and peace never
before was aware of. I attribute this to striving for spiritual discipline, and with this comes a more
orderly and manageable life, believe it."
'I have learned by surrendering my old ways, God's guidance has become an important part of
my life in earnestly striving to do what is more acceptable. I know God's guidance most likely will
be ignored by many that are without a spiritual heart.'
"Let not the heart be far from God's spirit. Most likely this shall be, until it is realized, to surrender is to win."
"Memories are always there, but I have learned it surely is not necessary to dwell on
the past. And, I have now learned with God as part of my life, better choices and conduct
have certainly help allow a more orderly and manageable life, believe it."
'Often there are things of value learned from some bad past experiences, so long as one
has learned enough not to repeat the same bad choices, and often it appears this does happen...
lesson not learned!'
'It must be learned the importance of actually applying even some of God's inspired wisdom,
shall surely have the potential to bring about a renewed spiritual life, and a more orderly life...here in the now.'
"When words are applied, then a change may be possible."
"Thank God I have learned the importance of willing to change, and in doing so
I know my life has surely been renewed by earnestly striving to apply God's inspired wisdom.
I know the challenges are every day, and that is trying to acquire some spiritual harmony in this
restless world. I am glad I have come to learn that material things are not as important as I once
thought to be. I know now, a calmness of a peace within being an indispensable way of life, here in the now."
'It must be acknowledged and the fact accepted that instructions have been put forth in the inspired
lessons, and each are left with the instructions to act upon, or not. And willing to change may well
lead to answers never thought of through worldliness.'
"Answers may well be found in the most unlikely place, and that being a spiritual heart."
"Reminders of things that will surely help eliminate worldly foolishness, so long as one relies on a spiritual heart, knowing truth comes forth when supported by a spiritual heart."
("Messages of great significance are meant to appeal to those lost in their worldly self-centered
agendas, and in doing so have drifted far away from understanding the necessity of a spiritual
relationship with God's spirit.")
Inspiration Today "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 as one has the honest and true willingness to change, otherwise...God's help shall be unlikely to take place.'
"God's work having been done, lives are left with the inspired wisdom and guidance provided...no more...no less.
Prayer Message...
"Let us pray that we may become a channel for God's spirit. Let us pray that God's spirit may flow through us into the lives of others." 'Amen' 'Praise God'
"There are times when distractions will bring cause of intrusion of my spiritual
awareness, and this being part of real time life happening. But thankfully I know I just need to be more
intent on my focus of God's spirit, and to reflect on the necessary wisdom needed to keep
my life spiritually aligned. I have learned the importance of spiritual focus."
'Emotional exhaustion may well bring cause of undue rest that may bring cause of wrong conduct.
This being a time of calm contemplation and hope of right conduct by focusing on the inspired wisdom of God.'
"World weariness may surely bring cause of distractions away from God's spirit of wisdom."
"Natural laws of nature are just that, and not meant to tamper with. And tampering
with and/or breaking moral laws surely to bring unwelcome circumstances upon those
that chose to ignore moral laws. I have learned the importance of striving to focus on
spiritual harmony in a materialistic world. As stated before, in doing so, a peace and
calm may surely come to be known, believe it."
'As long as selfishness and self-centeredness prevail, many there are that may never know of
a spiritual calmness and peace within, it has to be lived.'
"Pureness of heart has the potential of bringing about knowledge of a calm and peace within."
"I have learned in God's care, it was I that had to surrender my old ways, and take
up the serious effort of striving for spiritual discipline. And, I know this requires letting go of many foolish
worldly notions. Being out of order and disharmony takes place when spiritual discipline
is absent, believe it. Experience teaches, but only when used for improvement, and I stand by this truth."
'Submitting to God's care requires a profound reality...a willingness to change, and to do just that.
Perseverance being an essential ingredient of great significance.'
"God's treatment is in the lessons with the instructions.So long as the instructions are not altered."
"There being different kinds of love, but I have learned to acknowledge the greatest
of all being God' love. I have experienced a different love since God became part of
my life over two decades ago. And a new found happiness has arrived with this God love,
leaving my life more compatible with those around me, for this I am glad."
'Learning to eliminate selfishness and self-centeredness shall most likely open a new perspective
on being prepared to love and be of encouragement to others that may be struggling with life issues.'
"The wise student learns to apply the instructions, and leave the lessons to the experience of the better qualified."
"I have learned that inspiration comes to be when wholly accepting God as an
influential spirit of wisdom, and I try to choose my life in accordance to God's wisdom,
to the best I am capable of. I have learned above all else, the significant importance of
striving to practice spiritual discipline, here in the now."
' It being conceivable, with free will, many there are that unknowingly cannot fully grasp
the necessity and absolute need to focus on practicing spiritual discipline, and in doing so,
perhaps worldly folly would surely be laid to rest.'
"Perhaps Bible warnings should be studied with more due diligence, instead of conveniently ignoring."
"I stand by my spiritual conviction, and in doing so, I find no satisfaction in
criticism and/or judgement of others. Each personality being unique in their own rite,
and all may read the same words, but each with different interpretations, especially having
not full spiritual enlightenment, there ends up untold worldly notions...so be it, it is what it is."
'It surely can be witnessed how some lack self control in attempting to offer Christian hope,
encouragement and love. Some there are that make claim of their way is the only way, when most
likely being so lost they have no spiritual reality of truth.'
"Falseness shall surely be found in worldly narratives when spiritual discipline has been abandoned."
"I can only share things I share by the grace of God's unwavering love set forth, so long
as I earnestly strive to rely on this love to assist as a guidance in my own life, and to know to
act upon this love in all my coming and going. Be assured, this surely requires an honest and
active spiritual heart that is done with selfishness and self-centeredness...believe it."
'This being necessary to clearly understand...God's spirit never abandons a life, but a life may surely
abandon God's spirit. Extreme caution should be in place when so filled with complacency, that it becomes
deemed unnecessary to look to God's spirit for real time guidance.'
"Too stubborn and/or proud to acknowledge and accept the absoluteness of God's spirit, shall be considered
the fact that complacency has surely stunted the chance of enjoying any hope of spiritual growth...here in the now."
"This will always be a tough concept to grasp, but I have learned of great
importance to strive to fully understand, and to know the importance of practicing
spiritual discipline to the best of my ability, knowing the importance of maintaining
a God consciousness of God's spirit. Outside of this unseen spirit is a world that will devour
and leave in misery those that may not be secure in the unseen spirit of Christ."
'A Spiritual connectedness refers to ones ability to intuitively understand something that
impacts the soul and gives meaning to life. This involves seeking a meaningful connection with
something greater than ourselves, which surely can result in positive emotions such as peace, calmness,
contentment, gratitude and acceptance.'
"Never doubt the necessity of taking a spiritual inventory of self."
"I know since having God as part of my life, I have learned to control my
emotions, and not to let petty things upset me. In doing so, I am better equipped
to make better choices in different circumstances of importance."
'Not able to control one's emotions often leads to unnecessary emotional stress, and this
will likely lead to the inability to turn to God for guidance. My inner strength and
energy surely being enhanced by turning to God's inspired wisdom for guidance...believe it.'
"Keep God's spirit secure within by avoiding unnecessary annoyances."
"Thank God, now of twenty-five years into this spiritual journey, and I have surely
progressed in my spiritual growth, to the point that I like my life where it is, here in the now.
Perseverance, being the greatest tool, and this I firmly believe. Not all days shall be good,
but all days are good for more learning."
'Not to judge nor offend, but by observation of language put forth, by all indication, many there
are that appear clueless to the profound significance of the Divine readings that precisely declare
the necessity of worship to be spiritually motivated, "in spirit and truth", and here, many consistently
ignore the subtle warnings that are put forth, and for good reason...worldliness shall devour the chance
of acquiring a spiritual heart.'
"Disturbing as it may be, many fail to recognize that strife within a Christian community, shall
surely be when spiritual immaturity exists."
"I have learned my greatest focus is to maintain a spiritual consciousness
of here in the now. And, I have come to believe my spiritual discipline and
consciousness are needed in this world for preparation of acquiring an enlightenment
of being part of God's eternal spirit when life on earth is done. And, I know not to put
forth things that falsify the reality of spiritual truth and reasoning."
'Spiritual truth may be ignored, but an active conscious often becomes a troubling part of humanness
that may bring cause of doubting one's own spiritual security and well being, here in the now...and eternity.'
"There shall be no hiding from an active conscious. Held captive by a troubling conscious surely to be
cause of troublesome thoughts that are away from the spirit of Christ the Lord God."
"I believe signifying God as my refuge symbolizes a spiritual and emotional haven of a perpetual
inner feeling that surely has helped keep my life up out of the mire I once was embroiled in, and
has led to a more orderly life much more aligned with the inspired teachings of Jesus Christ. And, it
is none other than myself that must seriously strive to apply and act upon the principles of life."
'It surely being conceivable, if and when the inspired principles of life are applied to life, here in the now, with honest
sincerity, this will surely occupy far more importance than attempting to devise a self run, selfish or self-centered agenda.
Many there are that fail to recognize the one needing the most help, is none other than SELF. Perhaps when
this dilemma is attended to accordingly... revelations of spiritual enlightenment may surely come to be...believe it!'
"No greater haven shall there be, than that of God's spirit, within a spiritual heart. Ponder this truth carefully."
"I have mentioned many times about a God consciousness, and for good reason...
without this spiritual discipline, worldly foolishness will surely be more prevalent than
the needed relevant thoughts of God's love and wisdom as the real source of spiritual energy.
And I have surely learned how this has helped improve my life, and those closest to me, my family."
'I firmly believe with an active God consciousness, not only to help one's self, but also to help
bring peace and contentment concerning people, places and things surrounding one's life. And, with
this feeling of God's love, a better chance of expressing love and kindness, here in the now.'
"Conceivably, many there are that simply have not the spiritual discipline for the necessary practice
of attaining a God consciousness."
