"To be crystal clear, I have learned and know this to be true...I was the one that had
to make the decision and commitment of being willing to surrender my old way of life,
especially those things that were causing my misery. My life had become such a mess, I actually
cried out..."I NEED HELP." I firmly stand by this, that by the grace of God, help came about in
a way I never thought of...
"Amen" Full details would be boring and no words would suffice as to
all things that came about in the following years. One thing to clarify is the fact that on my knee's
and with tears, I asked God for forgiveness and put God in my life as guidance, and that I would
strive to make a serious effort to change my ways in living my life. I work on this daily, believe it.
And sadly, it would appear there are those that actually "think" God's spirit will do the work that needs done,
just pray and it will happen. A great misconception that leaves many with the one thing that destroys
the soul...
complacency! This being a subtle warning put forth in the Divine 'readings'.


'Now twenty-five years later, I am still learning and growing on this spiritual journey, and that is what I
have surely learned, God is spirit and the Holy Spirit is a gift to behold, so long as I keep and maintain
this spiritual reality, and know to practice the principles of life, and love being the greatest resource to practice.
When love is disciplined from the heart, life takes on a renewed course, and God's spirit surely shall come to be known.'


'Life will always have challenges, great and small, things that can't be changed must be accepted and it should be known
the one thing that can be changed...being SELF. And with God, this being accomplished only through the
willingness to surrender, and act upon the inspired instructions...no more...no less.'

"The stubborn and the rebellious shall continue on the path of worldly foolishness. And this too has been told of...to be."

"I have come to know the difficulty of hoping to find some spiritual harmony in this
restless world. It is not meant to be easy, thinking otherwise may well find many caught up in
the perceived thought of complacency to be sufficient. With this mindset, leaves foolishness of the
world to be the prevailing master. And, I have learned not to get caught up with those that have allowed
worldliness to be their way of handling the inspired wisdom of Jesus Christ, that has been put forth by
numerous authors. And in reality, the human authors are actually the ones being endlessly debated and
argued with, serving only to bring the continuous division and separation...nothing gained, much being lost."


"It appears the man mind has great trouble in attempting to distinguish between worldly and spiritual.
And, finding harmony most likely will require a spiritual heart with the right worldly attitude."

"I believe it to be paramount to understand God's grace, being an unmerited gift, that
of being His manifested love upon the lives of Christians. There is the condition and the qualification.
Wherever there is faith, there the Spirit of God is bestowed, and bestowed in the measure in which faith is exercised.
I believe this being precisely the reasoning in sharing, that this spiritual awakening being a reminder for
others to know and to learn to let our light shine, and how the gift of the Holy Spirit has been
manifested in a life that has come to share the love of God's love, and the renewing of an old life, for
a reformed new way of life through acting upon and applying the inspired teachings declared by Jesus Christ."


'There being no need to reiterate the need and necessity of a spiritual heart and how it affects
the character of Christians. The scriptures that are so often brought up, but forever ignored is
the principle of "in spirit and truth". There may well be a hindrance in a daily spiritual quiet time with Christ.'


"Christian responsibility being too often ignored, most likely because responsibility requires being responsible."

"I have surely learned on this spiritual journey, the significance of striving to
attain a spiritual awareness. And, in doing so I find no need to get caught up in the endless
worldly sacrilege of the inspired words of wisdom. The light of my life, was experiencing the
spiritual light of Christ."
"Amen"


'And, it being conceivable, many there are that have not witnessed the "light' of Christ the Lord God.
There would surely be far more spiritual awareness if and when the "light" of the Lord comes upon a life.
This being an extraordinary happening to behold...believe it.'


"Born again takes on a new way of life, and selfishness and self-centeredness are not compatible with this new life.
And, much of the world foolishness shall become a hindrance to spiritual awareness...here in the now."

"I have learned a valuable lesson on this spiritual journey, and things being shared are
not always going to be accepted by many, simply because many are most likely spiritually incapable
of grasping the truth and understanding precisely what has been put forth in scripture pertaining to "spirit and truth".
Let us be clear on prayer and expecting God's help and/or intervention. God's work has been done, and until this
reality is fully acknowledged and accepted, many shall be mislead by their own misunderstanding."


'Only when the inspired lessons and instructions are adhered to, and with integrity, shall God's inspired wisdom
likely to become integrated sufficiently within one's life, and/or the lives of others. And in prayer, being the time
to earnestly strive for the necessary scripture reflections, upon which to apply in accordance with the prayer being prayed.
When a spiritual heart is present in time of prayer, I have come to know, then shall come God's spiritual energy
to lift me up and come to terms with whatever the situation may be, and often the answers become known, and
often in ways never thought of...BELIEVE IT!


"The spiritual engagement with God's spirit, requires spiritual integrity...believe it."

"I have come to learn that my spiritual 'energy' being attained and maintained
through the necessary effort of my consciousness of God's spirit being present in my life.
Make no mistake, I know it has worked well with my life, surely bringing about the trust in
knowing the inspired wisdom of Jesus Christ works, so long as I work at applying and
acting upon His wisdom in my life, bringing cause of a greater bond of love within my family circle...believe it."


'I believe a sense of unbelief may surely plague a soul that may not sustain a spiritual heart,
as this being essential, for without a spiritual heart, the soul shall be away from the spirit of Christ.
And without question, many there are that are wizards at fooling one's own self.'


"At any time there comes doubt and/or a sense of unbelief...there is surely a spiritual problem."

"Often, seemingly insignificant words present profound meaning and purpose.
I believe this to be so with the highlighted words. Until certain thoughts of the mind
are spiritually attuned and/or focused on the reflection of God's spirit, a life may never
be spiritually influenced enough to truly experience the needed rest or peace. And I stand
by this truth I have come to learn to be, and confidence in knowing it works,
so long as I strive to do my part."


'It would appear, many there are that are constitutionally unable to grasp the full implications
of being spiritually influenced. At the core being, one is not able to see the truth about themselves.
And surely this began the era of deconstruction of Christianity. Ponder this carefully!


"Apostasy surely should not be ignored, when it is being fully implemented...unabated."

"This I have declared numerous times, and for good reason. My old way of
life did not work out well. After my commitment of earnestly having God in my life,
be assured, my life became more orderly and manageable. Again, I will stress that first I
had to be willing to change, and to do just that...
change. This most certainly does not just "poof"...happen.
A life changing commitment presents great challenges, believe it. Thankfully, now I
am aware that the challenges, and overcoming them rested upon my constant reflections
of God's inspired wisdom, and putting them to the test in applying them in my life...Thank God,
they work so long as I work at it...believe it."


'Two of my greatest hindrances were selfishness and self-centeredness. Harboring these things simply are
not compatible with attempting to apply and/or in practicing the principles of life. Self control, I came
to learn and to know this not only being necessary, but essential in getting my life on the right path...believe it.'

"Amen"...
"I have come to learn my quiet time is surely a personal and intimate fellowship with God,
bringing me confidence of being within God's protection. And this requires a reflection of
and acting upon 'fruits' of the Holy Spirit. This cannot take place when worldliness intervenes.
I have learned to earnestly strive to discipline my heart and thoughts in accordance with knowing
God being the spiritual being, and holds the spiritual guidance I need to practice in my life."


'Know this and know it well. Ambassadors of Christ come with true spiritual messages, and beware
of false pretenders that do not sincerely represent Christ, for they bring worldly messages that bring
falseness and untruths. But then, this too has been told of, to be.'


"Know that... "having a form of godliness but denying its power" refers to outwardly appearing
religious or pious, but lacking true spiritual depth or sincerity. It suggests that some people may

"My spiritual experience being mine and mine alone, and so it shall be with each individual.
My 'experience' as shared from the beginning, occurred years ago from a traumatic life altering 'happening'.
And this experience and happening has to be lived to grasp the whole dynamics of it all.
And it can't be adequately described to be made sense of by any reader. I have and do share how
my life has been impacted and surely become more connected with God's spirit...here in the now."


'It surely being conceivable that many may differ on spiritual experience, or perhaps more aptly put,
Christian experience. The meaning of a spiritual experience is a deeply personal and transformative encounter
or event that brings about a profound sense of connection with a higher power, divine presence, or the
transcendent nature of reality. Then again, many are probably more motivated with just certain Christian doctrines.


"Christian doctrine perspectives may cover harmony from a worldview, whereas heartfelt spiritual perspectives
helps to navigate challenges more effectively with a sense of God, and purpose in one's life."

and a work of great mystery. No matter how anyone cares to view it, there is no question that certain parts are confusing,
and surely has been stated, there being things not meant to understand. That, I accept as a matter of fact."

about those, who through a traumatic and/or extraordinary event, came to firmly believe that God
had miraculously came upon their life, thereby bringing cause of an abiding and firm belief of God in one's life.'

carried along by the Holy Spirit. And, my life has and is... surely a changed life...here in the now."

personally lived, believe it. And, I am surely experiencing a more calm and serene life
