For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God…. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. (Romans 8:14-16) In other words, God communicates with us Spirit to spirit. “Bearing witness with our spirit” means he speaks to us in our spirits. That is why we must learn to listen to our spirit.

As you have probably already discovered, life isn’t always fair – bad things often happen to good people. There is an enemy in this world, and he is no respecter of persons.

This year can be a year of new beginnings, a fresh start. Have you ever wondered why New Year’s Eve is such a time of celebration? It’s because even in the natural, people understand that a New Year means a new beginning – a fresh start. They want the New Year to be a turning point in their lives. That’s why they make New Year’s resolutions. However, if you don’t put in some effort to change some of the things you are doing, your life can’t improve.

We should try as much as possible to take our minds off the challenges of everyday life, is it in the area of marriage, parenting, career, emotional needs? And be focused on Him. God is always aware; so long as we are His. He is more willing to share than we make available for Him to.

Do you ever feel so awful about something it completely immobilizes you? Perhaps you get “stuck” on the sins of your past, or the way you raised your children. Maybe you get hung up on words you’ve said or things you “should” or “should not” be doing.

The word fear means different things to different people. To some people, fear is a motivator to help them perform their very best. To others, it is the evil that robs them of their best performances. What then is fear, and why do people talk about it with such hatred?

Karma is not something that we need to fear, it is simply the way in which we get back what we give out. Your karma is always under your control, and you can easily change it by changing your thoughts and actions.

It’s great to take a vacation, isn’t it? It just makes you feel better to go away, to get away from your home life and the daily grind of your job. You might even experience an “aha” moment or two when you are away from your current circumstances. But what if you could have more than that – what if you could have a life-changing moment, or trip, that create permanent positive shifts in you?

Most people do not know why they are here and their purposes in life, so they usually follow some pre-established life ways that usually are trends and norms of a society. However, each of us are created on unique purposes in life. Unless and otherwise you know your purpose in life and why you are here, you are going nowhere in life.

Since almost the dawn of time, and certainly since the fall, humankind has always sought to try and outstrip God, waking “earlier” to get dominion over him (if indeed that were even possible). And still, the LORD laughs–not deridingly, but at our motive. The Giver of Life is short-changed and then abjectly rejected. If that’s not contemptible I don’t know what is.
