Why Do People Turn to Drugs & Alcohol? | #shorts

Spiritual growth has certain steps that must be taken in order for us to grow from childhood to adulthood. None of us can avoid these steps when we come to God. They are mirrored in our own reality and it is from these that we know what level of maturity we have attained with God.

In this article I put together the top three reasons why we should not fear the coming 2012 changes. Getting familiar with these reasons will reduce people’s fear.

The mystery that is life often has us wondering personally – when we achieve happiness – and happiness is important to us all (Christian or not) – “Why am I here?” and “How did I arrive here?” and “What can I possibly do to become and stay content?” I have come to find through experience that contentment in life is so effuse with our purpose, i.e. our found purpose – what we do and how we do it – for we all have one.

Dowsing is built upon “beyond the physical” principles. It may come to you as a shock, but there are well grounded researches that confirm dowsing may be more than just a game. Dowsing acknowledges the presence of “stress” created upon earth.

It would be just wonderful if a life with God meant that it would be a life of security, happiness and contentment. It doesn’t seem that that’s what best for us though, and although a relationship with God brings a lot of security, happiness and contentment into your life, it’s not the result all the time. Growth in your maturity, spirituality and self-confidence comes from various aspects and your beliefs will only play a part in living the life you were meant to live.

The idea of Karma is entering the everyday lexicon. It is quite common to hear people remark ‘what goes around comes around’ The notion that as you row, so shall your reap, is gaining more acceptance. We have all done things we are not proud of. And we will probably continue to make gaffes. But if we are genuinely looking to change. To create more good karma, there is a way.

Your car breaks down in heavy traffic on a very hot day; it must be bad karma, right? The truth is in most cases, you are the creator of your own day to day problems.

Witchcraft practitioners feel the necessity of myriad wiccan and paggan items. Their enchantments and rites frequently demand the presence of candles, dowsing pendulums, incense, crystals, herbs, wands, statues, tarots, gemstones, bowls, mirrors and occult books.

My original belief in a higher power was 100% backwards. I molded an image of a god in my own mind and this image stroked my ego and helped me feel good about my ways. My spiritual information was coming from thoughts based on what I wanted a god to be.

There are millions of ‘ardent Christians’ who operate in Pharisaic ways – exhibiting the critical spirit – especially in their identification and condemnation of others’ ‘heresy.’ It is rather ironic, then, for the peaceable Christian to observe certain theologians noting the critical spirit as illustrative of its own form of ‘latent heresy!’

Christ our High Priest, simply the grandest truth available. He is better in so many ways. He offered himself, not as a copy and not another blood sacrifice, but he offered his very own self. And this once for all, that sin’s power might forever be vanquished, as far as those who choose to believe in this resurrected power are concerned. There remains forever more, no barrier to God the Father.

To think that God would take it upon himself to “split” himself (if that were theologically conceivable) and sacrifice that much, forsaking his very Son, so that we would have a way back… this is a most incredulous thought!
