Journeying Toward Centeredness.

Getting Centered is one of the best experiences of any one's life who is aware he/she is on a journey. Even if you are not aware you are on a journey, it is still   a very good experience. And if you do not realize you are journeying, you are missing out. 

When a person does not take time to center, he/she risks becoming susceptible to the "business experience."  The mind has to have something going: TV, Radio, IPOD,Twitter, Facebook, email, and other web stuff that keeps us up to date with stuff that, while enjoyable, may be counterfeit for the power of just being.  Even entertainment becomes god like. All can be exciting, as you see, hear, smell, taste and touch a whole lot of stuff.  But in "experiencing" mainly the superfluous and temporary, we have difficulty hearing and knowing what is eternally important... not to mention spiritually fulfilling and enlightening for the soul.

There are levels of this centeredness; for example,  We can be centered by just being with someone who matters so very much to us.  Last night TLOML and I were sitting in "Cave 2."  It was very quiet, and we really did nothing earth shattering, but just being quiet together gave great strength.  The talk would not move nations but it gave us quietness and peace.  It  gave us a sense of oneness with each other, the dreams God gives us dreams... and God.

Another level goes much deeper: It involves just being alone with God.  Seems like our time with God gets taken up with a whole lot of talk. Nothing wrong with talking to God.  Yet the Lord says to us in Psalm 46 "Be still and Know God."  Literally this is translated "Be still and experience God."  HMMMMM? Now how can we do this if we keep filling our minds with a whole bunch of noise and chatter?

It seems to me that Centering cannot happen until we decide to make it a priority to "Take a deep breath" (somewhere in a private place) and let the "drunken monkey of the mind" go until it quiets. Then just "hang out" with the almighty.... asking for nothing but experiencing everything.  Its sort of like "practicing God's presence.  Think I will try that right now.  Take some time out to think about how you can think about journeying toward centeredness and God.  Then just do it:o)

Be Blessed 2day, especially today.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
