There Are No Good Or Bad Habits | Sadhguru #shorts

Humanitarian Martin Luther King dreamed of equality. Fantine, in ‘Les Miserables’, dreamed of enduring love. What’s your dream? Mine is of a space where people can grow as testimony sharers

Do you believe in God. Are you sure you know what God is? If human beings are capable of creating cities, societies, businesses, religions and so much more, then is it so hard to imagine the Creator of All-That-Is? Consciousness of the self and the ability to create lives in all life forms, and perhaps, in all that is.

Two ways the devil works to convict our souls to his lies is by fear and discouragement. We may even find that one of us is more prone to fear, whilst the other is susceptible to be discouraged. Our challenge is to see the attack for what it is, being simply aware of it. It’s easy to obey God when we know what to do. When we flee the devil – by trusting and obeying God in our patient and calm responses – the devil flees us, too.

Studying the Scriptures of the New Testament can be so exciting and thrilling and rewarding and I am slowly but carefully and prayerfully making my way through these pages in the book of Revelation and in Chapter 6 we read that there is concern in heaven. This is prayer in heaven, and heavenly prayers by their very nature are sinless prayers. This is a prayer that the God of Justice will show this world to be based on Justice. There can be no human sin intermingling with prayerful words here. This prayer is pure and holy and just. These saints are asking God the God of Justice to do what is right! The astonishing answer is – rest awhile and wait a little longer. Do not press for the end of all things just yet. There are more martyrs coming to join you!

The book of Revelation is written by a fisherman, or at least by a man who was a fisherman, with a good fisherman’s business by the Lake of Galilee, but for sixty years he has been a follower and disciple of Jesus Christ, and now the apostle John has been taken up into the heaven, into the control room and command room of the universe, and he is shown what events and incidents would take place and will one day take place around out world. Some are seriously wondering if some of these visions are not presently coming to pass as man faces all kinds of suffering and disaster, and with Israel back in her own land that put a fresh perspective onto every aspect of what is happening and also on what has gone before. This is why true genuine spirituality where we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and saturated with the love of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is so vitally important.

I read recently that the only difference between the saints and the rest of us is their habit of recollection. On-line Webster defines recollection as the act of remembering, of recalling to mind; remembrance.

In the second half of Chapter 7, in the amazing book of Revelation in the New Testament part of the Word of God in the Bible, we read of a crowd of people worshipping and praising Almighty God, and singing. Do read it and seek to identify yourself with it, because it is there to bless you and to enrich you life, and each of us needs that. What a picture of worship and praise. And, there will be no one missing who should be present. Is that not so reassuring? Note what is missing. Note what phrases and sentences are never said! There is nothing here about, he was a good Christian, or she tried to live a good Christian life, and she did her best. He never had an enemy. You could not even say that about Jesus!

I am aware of the story of a para-church organisation that was held to account for ‘a lack of fruit.’ Its mission was to reach into the community in an evangelistic way and create converts to the gospel. The only problem with the mission was that it was at crossed purposes with the broader culture it was reaching into – as we would expect. Still, this organisation faithfully sowed into the work. And to be fair, there was fruit, but perhaps not really the variety of fruit the investors were after. It made lives and families better, but there were relatively few converts.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God created man in three parts i.e. man is a spirit who has a soul and lives in a body. Using his spirit man is able to access the spiritual realm and communicate with spiritual beings. The spirit of man possesses the function of intuition (knowing things without natural teaching), communion /fellowship and conscience (the ability to know right from wrong). Using his soul man is able to commune with himself and other human beings. It is in the soul man has emotions, will and intellect (the mind). Using his body man is able to relate with the physical world using his five senses i.e. hearing, seeing, taste, smelling and touching. Man has two sets of ears, eyes and heart. One is natural while the other is spiritual. We will concern ourselves in this study with the spiritual ears so as to discover how to activate our hearing in the spirit.

Does the thought of consistently studying your Bible overwhelm you? The Bible is considered the top-selling book in the world, yet most people find it hard to understand.

As I faced my fear of death, spiritual wisdom came my way. Rather than comforting myself reading novels about lonely people, I started reading mystical literature. “If there is any death, it is that of death itself, for life will not die,” said the great Sufi teacher, Hazrat Inayat Khan. Such elegant logic. How can life die?

What would your life look like if you could apply your spiritual gifts in a way that helped you build a business you loved? The funny thing is, as someone who loves both inspired entrepreneurship, as well as the idea of doing good in a heart centered service business, I find that many people struggle trying to put the 2 ideas together.
