Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

Many people will assume some people have the gift of faith. But God didn’t give it to me, so I guess I’m just gonna sort of have to plug along in life and do my best. Faith is indeed a gift but remember this, that faith is neither secular or spiritual. It is both natural and it is neutral. Everybody has faith, it doesn’t make any difference. For example, when a  man gets up in the morning and he walks into the bathroom and turns on the faucet, he turns it on not standing and thinking: “I wonder if water will come out of there. I certainly hope it does. I’m really gonna try to get it out.” He walked over and he turns the faucet with absolute confidence that when he does, water is coming out. God has given to every single one of us this gift of faith. What I mean by that, is that every single person who is alive has faith, your whole life, is a life based on faith and so we’re the ones who separated: secular faith, and spiritual faith.

There’s no such thing, the only distinction is who is the object of my faith. What is the object of my faith, is the key issue about the whole idea of faith. Now the question we wanna deal with is how do we get our life moving forward by faith: Lord let me be honest now and listen carefully and be honest about what I hear and evaluate my prayers. It’s real easy to say, especially when you’re having a tough time. I am believing in God and I am trusting God, listen carefully many people who think that they believe in God are dominated by fear, dominated by doubts, dominated by anxiety, overwhelmed in their life by many things. However, if you ask them do they believe in God, they say; yes I do! If you ask them, are you praying in faith? NOT!

Remember that there are those folks over here who are facing almost insurmountable barriers, and life is difficult in hardships. They live with them. They face them day by day and what happens. They are moving forward sometimes slowly and sometimes they’re taking great leaps forward. And here you are and you believe you say and you trust, and they’re moving by, with life passing by years without going on Our God, why are you not getting ahead in life? What’s going on? What I wanna ask you to do is lay down your guard, drop your barriers and be willing to listen, and carefully listen to and ask the Holy Spirit spirit of God to speak to your heart, no matter what you are thinking or if you are hearing the truth witness to my heart.

God is about to do something in your life to throw your life into forward motion. Which direction is your life moving, now in faith is the disposition of the mind that moves you forward in life. Faith is the disposition of the mind that moves you forward in life with God. It is the way I think, it is the way I think that is a question. Faith in itself is a positive expression of the mind to a very specific object and that is God and so as we examine what genuine true faith is, listen carefully, and I wanna say this again now it’s not going to work unless you’re honest enough to evaluate your own praying, your own request, your own relationship in your own conversations with God and the words you use. I’m really hoping that things are gonna change.

I  love your Word and experience with me mow.!

What psalm 119 ' God wants us as friends, deciples work together. It's all about community 

Please dearest Mother Mary fill me with your Devotion to your son! I've been getting the same message over and over again. Facing life with Christ, always walking in faith. Faith beyond the Mustard Seed. And always  walking in Christ to obey and rely wholly on god... Walking the way of Faith.

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

What are you doing now?

I’m listening to theJoyFM.com Podcasts as usual. Ok, I confess I had trouble getting to sleep last night, so I awoke late today, yes that means I had to click my blog links to get to today’s podcasts. . . . . !

What about last night?

I knew you would ask this forcing me to share my learning . . . ! So yesterday, I helped Dr. Jim again with Addys & Jay. They were moving into their own apartment, while their house gets fixed; and they had a U-Haul truck to get everything there in one trip. I showed up at the first apartment, where they were getting a dresser and chair. I noticed the ramp for the truck out of place, and stepped into loading and tying up the truck. Dr. Jim said he hadn’t done this for twenty years, and I admitted I could share a few stories about moving.

Anyway, I was up all night as I “took responsibility” for loading, and all but “bragged about” knowing how to load a truck. . . But then one thing fell. Yes, one thing moved that I had tied down. Only one, but it was the TV, that fell over and crashed. FIGURES! Jay commented about how it was an old TV, but still worked saving him some cash as he handed it to me in the truck. Yes, he then said we were all done?

I thought we were filling up the truck, so I had tied down layers and covered the TV with a blanket ready to pack more together. But that was it, nothing more!  I had pulled the truck into the driveway, and thought I needed to pull-it out too . . . So I jumped down ready to drive, never thinking about the TV or anything else packed into the truck. But then seeing how the TV had crashed, I realize I tied it in and covered it ready for more to hold it in place. Then I “was done,” no more to pack. I never checked anything or tied it all up with another rope.

Yes, I was using ropes inside the truck, as I mentioned the layers I’d tied. But then never finished it? So I was tossing and turning all night realizing my mistake, which was the loss of their TV.  Yes, it was my own irresponsibility that LOST the TV.  Course, the TV is filled with crap anyway, and I’ve got four here that I never use. . . But if I had professional movers, who were packing up my house and they dropped a TV! Wow would I be pissed, and would be submitting for their insurance to replace it, even if I never watched it anyway. And so last night all I could think about was how much Jay and Addy had lost already. Their house had almost four feet of water in it. And now my own irresponsibility had lost their TV too.

Lost, we lose and struggle all the time. It’s the Anxiety of LOSS that hit me this morning with the morning Podcasts. . .   

The Anxiety Opportunity: Backwards culture of Prayer or prescribed medical treatment to make "anxiety go away!" Anxiety is actually the opportunity for spiritual growth. That's the invitation for all Christians . . . with the rise of smartphones and social media anxiety is increasing to over 60% in the western population. Basically what's happening is we are getting bombarded with images that are designed mystically by the algorithm, to actually stoke anxiety, because it turns out that anxiety is a great driver for clicks . . . More clicks, more money. 

More anxiety, the algorithms are actually set up to give you some relief momentarily and then to ramp up the anxiety a little bit later to keep you hooked on it. And there's nothing wrong with asking God, so hey, please take this cup away from me. Jesus prayed to avoid anxiety himself. But ultimately we have to make that same transition to say, "Your will be done," right? Jesus went through the anxiety with trusting the Father. Hold the Loss and Grieve it, we can endure and grow. . . Jesus Grieved in the Garden and invited his disciples to share.

Anxiety is the fear of something, a fear of loss; bringing the native “Fight or Flight” response, as the first reaction from Adam and Eve, right? They hid after eating the apple. We hide our anxiety by pushing it away from us, pretending it's something else. And so what that illustrates, is we all have cover stories that we are prone to hiding our anxiety and that actually gives anxiety more power. Like the “Hindsight Window,” how long does it take you to find "the silver lining," from a loss in life, a short window is happy life … a long window is a life of fear, more resentment, more regret … https://youtu.be/cD16oT4tqVs

Things that we keep hidden actually have more power in our lives and more power precisely because we're not looking at them. We learn to cover up our losses. We learn the ways of Adam and Eve, to cover up and to make excuses for things, and then we just carry that trauma into our teens, adulthood, etc. . . . This is the deepest invitation of God to actually go through our anxiety as an opportunity, as an opportunity for spiritual growth, to get at the parts of our heart that we ourselves don't want to look at, or actually have created some cover story around. 

Anxiety, if we're willing to actually follow its path and go through it, actually, it's like the bread crumbs that lead us to the actual state of our soul, that if we can follow that Psalm 139 injunction to say, search me, O God, know my anxious thoughts, know my innermost being, we will find actually deep, deep realities that are actually like the key, the key, the keyhole to profound spiritual growth. 

How do we get there? You must actually experience loss, because the real promise of the gospel is not loss avoidance or loss prevention or loss insurance. The real promise of the gospel is loss restoration. It's resurrection. 
It's resurrection, and you only get to resurrection through death. You only get to the restoration of life through the loss of life. Getting back on the rails with our own avoidance of loss, you say there's two main types of habits that people fall into. So if I'm fearing that loss of a job and the economic insecurity, can I imagine going through that and the resurrection day when the feast is laid out on the mountain Zion, where there's no want, there is no need any more, right? So I think there is actually something here to cultivate the Christian imagination for what happens on the other side of loss, which is a beautiful picture of bodily resurrection and the restoration of all things. . . https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/best-of-2024-handling-anxiety-gods-way/
