"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had it's foundation on the rock." Matthew 7: 24 - 25 NIV
What happened on Twitter recently is a fascinating example. On October 20th, a hot topic sprung up on Tweet under the title of "No God." Evidently, what started this wild cacophony of unbelief and rebuttals where some atheists who where offended by a previous hot topic called "Know God." During the day, I was engaged in my local activities and caught the last of the discussions in the late afternoon before Tweet's server began to be overwhelmed. Twitter had to shut it down. I was absolutely amazed that many where quoting Richard Dawkins infamously ignorant statement from his book, The God Delusion. In it he states, "Religion is responsible for all wars and bloodshed in history."
Just prior to the shut down, I managed to get in a handful of Tweets.
- No God? Who was responsible for wars before religion? "I have seen the enemy and he is us!" Pogo
- "No God" McGrath-1, Dawkins-0 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mcgrath/
- (to an atheist) Science can't put God in a test tube, much less a thought. Is science then propagating it's own inadequacies? (Twitter then shut it down)
- (to an atheist) Ya, burn the Christians now, Nero! No God was simply overloading Tweet's server, Dude!
- Why does prayer work? No God? Watch What The Bleep Do We Know
After Twitter shut down "No God," an atheist blamed it on a vast right wing Christian conspiracy to censor them. I found it as hilarious as Bill and Hillary's fabricated assertions. What these people don't get is the fact that Christianity is still the largest religion in the world and atheists are a very small minority in contrast to the world's population as a whole.
In a recent article by Rick Joyner, he says, "A recent study on the church in America revealed the shocking fact that an estimated 65 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be born-again Christians, but only 3 percent had a Christian or biblical world view. To have a Christian world view means to view the world as Christ does—to know and adhere to His teachings. Because there is such a wide gulf between those who claim to be born-again Christians, and those who are reflecting a basic aspect of Christ, perceiving the world as He does, it reflects how poorly we are accomplishing the Great Commission."
By the way, Quantum Communications is a video I have posted below for your consideration. The reason I have it up is twofold. First, it starts out with a scientist's honest appraisal of our current level of scientific understanding. Secondly, it is saying the same thing as The Secret movie. As I have said before, I believe the Law Of Attraction has merit. My question is, "Where is this "enlightenment" taking us?" To put the subject in perspective, here is something I recently posted on a Powerful Intentions group bulletin board:
I have read critics of The Secret movie who have blown off the principle of the Law Of Attraction for various reasons. I have also listened to Joe Vitale being interviewed by Mark Joyner discussing the "missing secret" within The Secret. Joe described The Secret movie as incomplete. The movie is designed to take us from the stage of victimhood to the stage of empowerment. They go on to discuss the four stages as being a) victimhood, b) empowerment, c) surrender, and d) divine.
"Love is a choice more than an emotion. Choose to love and the emotion will follow." This is something that my pastor once said that stuck with me for decades. The Law Of Attraction is about taking control of our thought life. I believe the Bible's New Testament has been speaking of the same thing for nearly 2,000 years. It states that we are coworkers with God. What does that mean? I believe that The Law Of Attraction explains that. If you substitute the word Universe for God in the Secret movie, it all falls into place.
Jesus said, "I do the will of my father in heaven." and "The kingdom of God is within you." He saw what God was doing and did what God was directing him to do. That is how we surrender and become part of the divine.
For me, salvation came through Christ. Fully understanding the principle of salvation came by The Secret. Salvation is not just "pie in the sky in the sweet bye and bye." It is the eternal present we live in right now. Let's make it a good one!
On another group discussion, I recently helped a woman who was ripped off by someone who she thought was a friend. She thought she may have been attracting thieves and con artists. How many times has that happened to you? This comment will also give you a better understanding of the Gifts of the Spirit.
Hello!
Been there. Done that so many times! VibingOM was right in that there are givers and takers in this world. You are a giver and let your giving return to you many fold. The takers will also receive their just reward in God's perfect timing.
Now, I am going to go a bit beyond the Law Of Attraction into what Joe Vitale and Michael Beckwith have been talking about recently. I have already posted a comment on the bulletin board regarding the "5 missing secrets" within The Secret. The Secret movie was about empowering us to transcend the stage of victimhood to the stage of empowerment. The two stages of being beyond that is the stage of surrender and the stage of divine.
In my case, I interpret that to surrendering to the Divine and becoming part of the Divine. As I said in my comment, if you change the word Universe to God, in The Secret movie, it all falls into place. Now, to better understand what is going on, please watch this short video called Quantum Communication. We all constantly broadcast our thoughts like a radio station. Takers feed off givers by reading these signals and finding ways to dupe givers into enabling their thieving lifestyle. It is my hope and prayer that these individuals would awaken to the fact that it is better and just as easy to manifest wealth of their own. Let's keep sharing the Word, OK?
It is my belief that giving will bring about abundance and "heaven" on earth if we all participate in helping meet the needs of others. There would be no lack of anything anywhere if we all learned to be a blessing to one another. As in the old saying, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
However, enabling a destructive lifestyle is not a way to bless someone. The key here is to learn to read other's vibrational broadcasts as they read ours. Bibically speaking, this is called the "gift of discernment." There are also other "gifts" of the Spirit called the gift of wisdom and the gift of knowledge. These are gifts I used frequently while counseling anonymous people over the phones at Love Lines in Minneapolis. I could sense their energy (spirit) by their tone of voice and surrendered to what I sensed was God speaking through me to them. You may also consider learning the art of reading body language. Just Google the term and you will find a wealth of info on the subject.
The bottom line is respect should be freely given. Trust needs to be earned. Don't make yourself vulnerable to takers. And, regarding your jewelry, you can say to yourself, "Whatever is taken from me will be returned to me seven fold." Forgive them, so you don't have ill will toward anyone, and pray for real blessings and enlightenment to overtake them. This does not mean you have to allow anyone to abuse you.
Now what I and others are seeing here is a strong push to subvert our faith and Western culture toward believing in no God or believing you are God. Both ideas are completely sad and destructive. However, you are a child of God, created by God, for God's special plan and purpose. Tune in to God's vibration and follow His lead. He will light your path and guide your feet!
