Christianity in Obeying God Today

We can’t help surrendering ourselves to one master or another. We are built for worshipping either God or something else, as our unconscious habits demonstrate every day. And, from my experience living in the U.S., I gather that the most prevalent false god to whom unredeemed people pay homage is the ego, or the self (including any subtle derivations of self). But a life that lives and dies after Christ’s example is consumed by God's never-fading glory. Those who live sacrificially in Christ are trading in corruptible riches for incorruptible ones. If you need confirmation, that a life sacrificed for something greater than the self is a life well-lived, then look at Him who embodies sacrificial living and see the enduring fruit of His efforts. A better-than-average life is one that is spent on a cause that is greater than the oneself. The best life is one spent in surrender to Christ, the Cause to end all causes. All that is shakable must be done away with. Our flesh is shakable. Our self-centeredness is shakable. The sooner these things are done away with the better. Christ has the authority to submit all creation to Himself… glory to God, that includes us! And He is patient enough to start a bunch of know-it-alls like us all over again, from the bare-bones beginning. Therefore, if any of us desire spiritual closeness to Christ, then we should brace ourselves for a devastating deconstruction before we try to say or do anything else. By opening ourselves up to Him we will discover that He is in the business of exploding all our puny expectations.Some churchgoers are fine with adopting Christ as their exclusive Leader… as long as this doesn’t affect their daily lifestyles. And there are some church leaders who approve of the idea that all believers, including themselves, are equally second place to Christ… they agree with this so long as it doesn’t affect the way they run their congregations.

Progress of Spirituality

We churchgoers have our certain ways of doing things, which we love for their familiar ease. Our love for familiarity even leads us to lift up tradition as profound or meaningful in itself. However there is nothing inherently meaningful about tradition (by itself). Our hunger for familiarity handicaps our spiritual senses so that we forget to take God as He is. For those of us who are considered "established" or "experienced," we should take care lest we neglect the man-reducing nature of being established in God's Spirit. The theory of gaining superior godliness through theological institutions betrays itself (or at least it should… as students will discover if they listen to God as they learn about Him). This is the theory of depending on men to learn about God. We churchgoing westerners are, by and large, so engrossed with unspiritual chores that we neglect the most fundamental aspects of our calling, which amount to listening to and obeying Jesus Christ. We do well to surrender to God's Spirit because spiritual realities exceed our natural realm of thinking in any case. We are inherently clueless about Spirit-led living, therefore we should take our spiritual Teacher at His word. In this way, we will most substantially honor Him as Teacher. Christ is already holding the whole world together simply because He chooses to, therefore He will also teach and train us however He sees fit. Our goal as Christ-followers is to adapt ourselves to His way of getting things done, which will happen as soon as we decrease so that He might increase in and through us. This might be agonizingly difficult at first, but the eventual results of our sincere efforts amount to unspeakable, heavenly blessings in Christ. The fact that God works Himself out in us despite us demonstrates the overwhelming nature of His grace.

Psychic Abilities

Most people when they start there spiritual development process are often not aware of the difference between the different spiritual abilities and call every one psychic. There is a distinct difference in the abilities and as the pupil’s spiritual growth develops they can become far more aware of each of these abilities.In this article we are going to focus mainly on the most common spiritual abilities that would be taught in a psychic school. It is important for us to remember that as spirit people no longer have a physical body, they cannot easily show themselves to us without a large amount of energy supplied to them. They are not physical so we do not connect with them with our physical body but with in our mental and emotional mind. The most practiced spiritual growth technique would be to follow guided meditations in a spiritual development circle and or enhance that with the use of downloadable meditations for meditations exercises.When following a spiritual meditation we are activating certain areas of the brain and getting used to using them. Over time, we become more adept at understanding and focusing on our spiritual connection.These abilities are as follows:- Clairvoyance (clear sight)Is the ability to see spirit within your mind, seeing moving pictures, symbols, people’s faces and places shown to you by spirit. This is when spirit communicate with you directly in the area of your brain where your eyes would register what you see but bypassing your physical eyes. Clairaudience (clear hearing)Is the ability to hear spirit within your mind. When we hear spirit within our minds, we know it is not us because of the way they speak and the information they pass through to us is most often things we would not think of or say. Clairsentience (Clear sensing)Is the ability to sense spiritual emotions and feelings. People who are clairsentient are usually very in touch with their emotions. Because so much information can come through one single emotion, clairsentient mediums are able to give vast amounts of insight from a single feeling. PsychicBeing psychic is the ability to read the information from people’s auras or from inanimate objects. Most psychics can read past and present information and are able to understand the intricate flow of energy as it passes into the future and thus can closely predict oncoming events. Tarot card, rune and psychometry readings are done by using psychic ability.With a better understanding of the spiritual abilities we can start to understand more about our spiritual growth. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

The Philoshophy of comparation between Ethics and Morality

We are shaped to a large extent by our cultural setting, whose moral values imprint themselves on our minds in ways most of us are unaware of. Music, movies and television all carry value-laden messages that bombard us daily. Over time, these messages can subtly develop within us a new worldview. These cultural values become accepted as more mature than previous values, especially by the young, and govern how we see the world. The result, inevitably it seems, is a generational divide.Expressing nostalgia for the values of days gone by is common to an older generation. We hear and read about the need to return to moral values of previous times without, in many cases, any clear definition of what those values might be. In reaction to change, older people often simply declare that things used to be better.But is it really a question of whose values are correct? Indeed, do any values represent a correct standard, or are values of themselves relative? If so, should we accept that they can and will differ from one generation to the next?The nature of the generational differences is in the way we view values themselves. The word value can have a broad range of meaning; in a cultural sense it refers to a principle, standard or quality. A desire to return to past values generally means a return to principles and standards held by society and culture at large in previous decades. However, another meaning of value that needs to be considered is "the desirability or worth of a thing." If this meaning is applied to cultural values, then we introduce a moving target, because such a definition implies variation over time.The perceived value of something differs from person to person and may reasonably change. For example, do we really want to return to the days of men wearing three-piece suits to baseball games? Would it be better if women still wore girdles and white gloves when they left the house? It would be ludicrous to think in these terms to find solutions to generational differences today. But here is the catch: While certain values cannot be replicated today, the principles, standards and qualities they reflect may well be desirable and downright helpful to a younger generation. How can we improve our principles and standards without all the baggage that can come with trying to recapture the moral values of a previous time?Author Jeremy Rifkin describes the problem in his book The Age of Access: "The world . . . has become a human construct. . . . This new world is not objective but rather contingent, not made up of truths, but rather options and scenarios. Reality, it seems, is not something bequeathed to us but rather something we create. . . ." James Davison Hunter says it quite plainly in his book The Death of Character: "Values are truths that have been deprived of their commanding character."To address issues in terms of moral values makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the generations to be drawn together on common ground. Successive generations have created their own values as cultural influences have progressively emphasized the importance of self.
