What Does it Than Mean to Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus?
In this article I want to touch on three important points: A) How do we turn our eyes upon Jesus? B) What happens to us when we do it? C) What are we seeing?
Stepping Into the Realm of the SpiritWe read in the Bible stories of miracles, healings, great outpourings of the Spirit and we wonder why we see so little of this today. Did miracles cease with the death of the apostles? Did God decide that He no longer wanted to give these gifts to His church? Or are we missing something in our walk with the Lord as a church and as individuals that keeps us from stepping into the realm of the Spirit and all that God has for us as His people?
An Evolutionist’s Intellectual Amends With GodEvolution or creation? How much longer are we going to waste our energy in dividing interpretation, as opposed to uniting in functional researching and exploring of our potential?
Psalm 130 – The LORD – “Feared” For His Powers of ForgivenessWhy on earth would we fear God for forgiving us? It’s a very good question. Perhaps it’s easiest asking how we’ve felt whenever we’ve been forgiven by someone (if that’s occurred to you). Picturing this right now, in the first person…
Faith and WorksThere are many different ideas and doctrines about faith and works. The truth is that God tests our faith by what we do for his cause. The work required is simply what we do out of love for him because of all he has done for us. Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins. He brings us abundant life. He gives us the peace that is beyond understanding. He promised that he will work everything out for good if we love and obey him.
The Great Controversy – Is There a Controversy at All?We are obviously dealing in physical reality with a non-real set-up — a virtual realm in control by this supposed god. You do not have to follow the script! But in order to do that you must understand what sort of relationship you have with this god.
Statio – The Pause That RefreshesThe busyness and concerns of our day can have a dampening effect on our connection with reality and the connections with God that we established in our early morning prayer session. We started our day feeling right with ourselves, but the world of mankind that we interact with throughout the day may begin to wear against this.
Spiritual Evolution & Growth – Kicking One’s Own ButtThere is often a great confusion as to the difference between Spiritual and Psychic Development. While the ego often gets juice from the specialness of having psychic powers, thinking that those manifestations of spiritual awakening is the awakening itself is a mistake. Spiritual development is growing up and becoming a fully balanced and developed human being.
What To Avoid If You Are Looking For a Vital Relationship With JesusIs Jesus just a believe system for you, or do you have a vital and living relationship with him? Many people know about him and study him, but they are missing a personal and living relationship with him.
How Do I Obtain Christ Consciousness? – Achieve a Higher ConsciousnessHow do I obtain Christ consciousness questioning starts with a strong desire to reach that higher state where in your development as an individual is achieved. It is an amazing chance that was conceived to provide a way for you to make contact with the higher being and progress through your current life.
The Mystical Gifts of Intuition, Vision, Prophecy and FeelingOne of the things I have most enjoyed and benefited from during my spiritual growth is unfolding my spiritual gifts; my “psychic abilities.” I never really thought of myself as being psychic or as having the ability to become psychic.
Finding Your Swing by Overcoming the PastWhen I think of the challenge of overcoming the past, I am reminded of the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance. The main character, Rannulph Junuh had an illustrious golf career cut short by his enlistment in WWI.
