God’s Word: a Creator’s Manual to Navigate Your Life’s Journey!

Yesterday I was giving some consideration as to the foundation upon which we build our lives. What role does faith play in this process? For me, having made the decision more than 50 years ago to say YES to the relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus and fully commit my life to Him, where does God’s Word fit into this relationship?

I ask what might seem to be an obvious question, because I am not so sure it has an obvious answer for some people. The start of our relationship begins before we even acknowledge its beginning, because of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8). Our conscious connection starts to take place as we recognize God is reaching out to us and offering to provide what it is we cannot do for ourselves.

When we make the choice to say yes and begin reciprocating His love we learn the significance of what Jesus provided for us through His death on the Cross of Calvary, which impacts who we are in relationship with the Heavenly Father. Spiritual growth happens as a result.

What I wonder about is why it takes us so long to take the pattern of faith and practice from His Word which brought us into relationship and apply it across all areas of life. It was never God’s intention for us to compartmentalize our life into that which we include Him in and that which we segregate Him from.

Alignment of our life to be in perfect selfless love (holiness) is part of His will for our relationship with Him. The Scriptures are not a law book demanding compliance, but the Creator’s Manual to Navigate Your Life’s Journey in relationship to Him!

Your Success Is Ultimately Founded on Who You Will Listen To!

It is likely you have experienced this situation in some form in your life. You have purchased an item and when you took it out of the box along with the various pieces there was a sheet of paper, or maybe a little booklet labelled, “instructions.” There are a number of potential scenarios presented in this moment of time. You might need to scan for your language among the many options, look for a magnifying glass in order to read the very tiny print size, or find an interpreter to figure out what the online translation was actually attempting to tell you. Have you ever been in such as situation? I know I have.

I am also aware, that while the struggle with print size may not be an issue, there are many challenges people face when it comes to understanding what The Bible, God’s Word is really saying. Unfortunately there are poor translations which leave people confused and wondering what is really being said. There are differing viewpoints which are often heatedly debated with less than godly expression, leaving a person wondering about any value to what God is seeking to communicate.

The level of negativity and hurt experienced by people as it relates to God’s Word is appalling. At the same time this should not hinder, or stop us from expressing the truth which God desires for us to hear and incorporate into our lives. This is why I am on a mission to change the perspective of how we view the Scriptures. My personal view about the Bible is that it is a tool which God has created to carry the message, He is a relationship builder and restorer, not a law enforcement agent. I believe and seek to communicate this as a result of His love. He put into operation all the necessary components, through His Son, Jesus the Messiah, to deal with every aspect of building and restoring a relationship which was broken from the time Adam and Eve rebelled against Him (Romans 5:8).

Beginning on March 17, 2019 I will be developing the next training series explaining this perspective from a portion of Scripture familiar to those who have some connection to God’s Word. My intention is to provide a foundation of understanding and clarity for spiritual growth and development for everyone, regardless of where they are in their relationship with the Source of all things. I invite you to join with our Grace Church of the Nazarene family in Shelburne Ontario, Canada at 10:30 a.m. EDT, live on site, or via live via the internet at: www.SayYEStotheRelationship.com. The message will also be available on my FaceBook page live at approximately 11:00 a.m. EDT. Replays will be posted as well.

Don’t let the negativity, confusion and influence of others keep you from enjoying what it is God is offering you. Find out for yourself. “Perceive and joyfully experience that Yahweh is good; blessed is the valiant person {warrior} who takes refuge in him.” The first basic universal principle I will be addressing on March 17 relates to the topic, “Who do you listen to?”

Discover for Yourself the Power of Character Based Energy!

I went looking though our personal library for a specific book yesterday and have not yet found it. What I did find was an old treasure. I have no idea when, or where we obtained this book, but I was fascinated with the find. The binding is not in great shape and the paper must be handled with care, but you will hear more from the content of the book in the future, because it really is a treasure. The copyright is 1896, so it is in the public domain. The title is, Wealth and Wisdom OR The Golden Key To Success. This book contains a vary large number of short stories focussing on the value and importance of developing good character from a Biblical base. Henry D. Northrop is credited with the section, “New Testament Story in Verse.”

The picture attached to this article is from the page where the story I am going to share with you was found. The title of the engraving is, “Milton dictating Paradise Lost to his daughters.” This story resonated with me as I was flipping through the book.

“Energy of character has always a power to evoke energy in others. It acts through sympathy, one of the most influential of human agencies. The zealous, energetic man unconsciously carries others along with him. His example is contagious, and compels imitation. He exercises a sort of electric power, which sends a thrill through every fibre, flows into the nature of those about him, and makes them give out sparks of fire.

Dr. Arnold’s biographer, speaking of the power of this kind exercised by him over young men, says: ‘It was not so much an enthusiastic admiration for true genius, or learning, or eloquence, which stirred with them; it was a sympathetic thrill, caught from a spirit that was earnestly at work in the world – whose work was healthy, sustained, and constantly carried forward in a fear of God – a work that was founded on a deep sense of duty and its value.’

Such a power, exercised by men of genius, evokes courage, enthusiasm, and devotion. It is this intense admiration for individuals – such as one cannot conceive entertained for a multitude – which has in all times produced heros and martyrs. It is thus that the mastery of character makes itself felt. It acts by inspiration, quickening and vivifying the natures subject to its influence.”

As I was retyping this short story I experienced something very interesting. I could literally feel the energy and electricity that was emanating from this book. My body felt like it was a receiver of something very powerful and exciting. My arms and the back of my neck were literally covered with goose bumps. It is my hope and prayer that as I post this short article that energy will be transferred to you and multiplied greatly.

In the middle to late 1800’s there was a spiritual renewal within North America which was significant enough to impact the culture and strong enough to change the energy of an era. The denomination in which I have ministered in, for the last almost 45 years, came out of the American holiness camp meeting movement of that time period. It was during this time that men like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein lived and were influencing the world. As the 20th century grew older, this power and energy waned as the relationship of the people with God declined.

The vision statement of the local congregation I lead declares we are, “pursuing and proclaiming the universal truth of Biblical holiness (Perfect alignment of your life with pure, selfless love) with the power of God’s Holy Spirit in the energy of a new era.”

May there be a return to personal character and our culture being founded on the foundation of God’s Word in this new era of time.

Upgrade Your Individual Vibrational Frequency Now to a Greater Level!

Whatever our personal average vibrational quotient may be, there are certain areas where our energetic consciousness, or awareness is higher or lower than the average. Your attitudes, reactions and actions will demonstrate where you are on the scale in any given area, or moment of time. Researchers over the years have identified specific character and emotional traits to specific vibrational frequencies. For instance fear and anger are low frequencies. Love and joy are much higher frequencies.

It is interesting to look through the charts and see where qualities identified in Galatians 5 as the Fruit of the Spirit are vibrationally identified and then compare them to things identified in Scripture as being contrary to God’s will, which are being vibrationally low.

Researchers have identified a threshold frequency which is critical for being able to function with a positive quality of life. People who live below that threshold usually feel powerless to change anything in their lives, or have the motivation to act to improve their level of freedom and quality of life. I find it interesting that much of the church today completely ignores this important information and remains silent about its impact on our ability to grow spiritually.

It is my desire for that to change, so people have the ability to upgrade the perception of their life and SEE the steps they can take to shift their mindset and achieve transformational freedom and expression in their life. When they elevate their energetic awareness they can fully deploy their inherent potential and then enhance the quality of their life, living their purpose and fulfilling their destiny. I have identified this process as The SEE Method of Living. It is based on universal principles which are in alignment with God’s Word.

My desire is for people to reach an energetic level where they will be able to understand and experience the benefits of living at a higher vibrational frequency. Your ability to decipher the truths found in the Bible, to respond to the Holy Spirit’s prompting in your life, and be in alignment with pure selfless love (be holy), depends upon your willingness to increase your energetic awareness. Saying YES to the relationship with God through His Son, Jesus is a beginning, but you need to move forward and continue to walk in that light. Upgrade your individual vibrational frequency now, to a greater level!

Access Principles and Practices Producing Lasting Transformational Change in Your Life!

I was standing in the bathroom brushing my hair yesterday when a thought manifested in my mind. I quickly ran for a blue ink pen and paper so I would not forget it. It was the perfect phrase for the beginning of a video clip I was wanting to create. The reality is, it has much more impact into a number of areas I am involved with. There are many ways to describe what happened in that moment. I could respond, “My subconscious downloaded the information from the field,” “it came as a moment of inspiration,” or I could also say, “the Holy Spirit gifted the phrase to me in just the right timing.” Because of my relationship with God, I chose the later, but at the same time all three options may have been at work.

As a result if someone should chose to express a similar experience in any of the above ways, or even another, I can identify with them and process through my filters without judgment, or criticism. I can rejoice with them in their moment of discovery, because it really is something to be excited about.

For me, having had the opportunity to be trained by Joel Bauer, the Mentor’s Mentor, allowed me to perceive the significance in the languaging pattern found in my momentary revelation. My mind began to formulate important new ways to take that one simple concept and use it over and over again in different scenarios. As a result, you will likely see and hear it used many times in many ways if you are following the Life Potential Training expressions I am putting out.

Whether, you read my daily blog articles, or one of the books that has, or will be coming, listen to a sermon live on site, or a live stream on the internet or a replay, whether it be an event training or something else, my desire and focus will be to encourage and support you in the process of achieving the benefits of saying YES to the relationship with Jesus and living that relationship in full commitment and alignment with pure, selfless love.

AND so, I ask you now, “Have you ever dreamed of having access to principles and practices that will produce lasting, transformational change in your life and that of your family? I want you to SEE what Shifting your mindset and Elevating your energetic awareness can do in producing an Enhanced life which allows you to live your purpose and fulfil your destiny, leaving a lasting legacy. Be willing to learn and willing to change in order to achieve these amazing results.

Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in Yahweh with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; {6} in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
