76. Why The Fulfillment Of Your Vision Delays By Joanne Robinson
    When God first unveils a business or ministry vision that He wants you to fulfill, it is often the case that there is a long delay or wait until the vision comes to pass. The reason the Lord has given you the revelation now is so that He can gain your attention and to equip you for the work ahead. The Lord is patient and well organized and will not move you into your appointment until your disposition matches the revelation. In other words, there is a work ahead of you that requires your…



77. Fool for God By Michael Ozair
    The following article is an exploration of the Spring holiday season and its spiritual implications. In it will be a unique perspective with a special emphasis on the importance of owning our dualities for the purpose of transcending them. The duality of Spring is that while it is a time for thorough “house cleaning” it also requests of us our lightness of being and simple trust.When we make a complete and unconditional surrender and trust the mysterious, unknown void with our lives, we ente…



78. REAL Christianity: Home Improvement or New Construction? By Michael Tummillo
    Jesus said, "No one can see the Kingdom of Heaven unless he is BORN AGAIN," (Jn 3:3). A born again disciple is one who has, literally, been given a new lease on life. He or she gets to start over, sins forgiven. We become new creatures, the old is gone, the new has come, (2 Cor 5:17). The Holy Spirit, the promised parakletos (comforter, in Greek), now dwells within each of us who are disciples of Christ. We are His home. Yes, God... the One who made both Heaven and earth... chooses to li…

80. Where Are You When You're Dreaming? By James Rick
    Have you ever had this experience: You're doing something strangely familiar yet ... different. Suddenly it dawns on you that you're dreaming! In that moment, and for all the moments that you are aware; where are you?At first you might be tempted to say that you're at home sleeping. Technically you're right. Your BODY is at home sleeping.

81. Beware of the Lobby Lizards By Terry Hadaway
    Our church is infested with lobby lizards. They crawl around the lobby of the church while other activities are going on as if they already have mastered the topic the pastor is discussing. Maybe they have memorized the Bible so studying it in a small group isn't necessary. Whatever the case, the lobby lizards are multiplying!Maybe it started with one person who had a legitimate excuse to roam the lobby. Maybe he had a bad back or was prone to surprise allergic reactions when he encountered tr…



82. Going Where God Leads You By Archie Lawhorne
    I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~ Mother TeresaWhen God calls you to do something, you can be sure He will give you the means to see it through. Many times it’s not clear where the strength or resources will come from, but if you look deep within yourself and follow His guidance, you’ll find what you need. That’s how circumstances have unfolded for Archie and Pauly Lawhorne since God put it into their hearts to adopt a …



83. Getting Back to the Basics of Truth By Lois Grant-Holland
    Anyone who has invested time, energy and effort into finding their own truth knows that ignorance is NOT bliss. Understanding the religious environment that we grew up in should be the natural first step towards defining our own belief system. All too often, we grow up getting bits and pieces of religion, but never take the time to look at the bigger picture.It's the bigger picture that enables us, as thinking, feeling human beings, to evaluate both the truth and the doctrine of established re…



84. The Power of Myth - The Celtic Way By Tony Cuckson
    “Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone the question, "Does this path have a heart?" If it does, the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. ~ Carlos Castaneda,In Corrogue I am building paths out on this acre of diamonds.These paths come from all directions and form all sorts of shapes. There are diamond shapes, and square shapes. There are triangles pointing east and west. At some future time I wil…



85. Echo's Transition By Nedda Wittels
    Echo was a flea-bitten gray horse, with brown speckles everywhere, and crystal clear hairs in her mane and tail. We met in October, 1976, when she was a broodmare on an Arabian farm in New York State. A beginner at riding doesn't usually start out with a novice horse, but I fell in love at first sight of her. Somehow, over the years, we learned how to have great times and not get in trouble. We enjoyed trail riding and had fun doing dressage, too. Echo loved to be ridden and to gallop acr…



86. The Success of Servanthood By Kim Bloomer
    "Who being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant." Philippians 2: 6-7, NIVSince the Ashley Smith and Brian Nichols incident (amazing how God works!), I've been thinking about what servanthood really means. There have been several situations arise in my life over the last week also that keep coming back to servanthood or my own rights and way. When that happens, I know God is really wanti…



87. A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION - Wisdom From The Fulfillment Forum Books & Study Courses By Jard DeVille
    A few men and women are universally successful but such superior seeming geniuses usually lose so much empathy for we lesser souls that their relationships become selfish and self-defeating. Many end up alone and unloved, in a prison of their own making, as Michael Corleone did in The Godfather. As an ancient African-American gospel song laments, life is plagued with sorrows, complications, and defeats for every person.Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen -- Nobody knows but Jesus.We really ar…



88. God, Religion, and My Term Paper By Sunny Sambhara
    I've never been one to think things through. I like to act on impulse and pretend that whatever happens was part of some master plan I had all along. It's how I end up finding myself in situations that aren't typical. It's how I ended up in a an upper level World Religions course.A few months ago, an old friend of mine wrote a paper on religion and peace. I scanned through it and misinterpreted his argument entirely. For some reason, I felt that he was arguing that religions are exclusi…

90. The Key to a Clear Conscience By Saundra L. Washington
    I have discovered as I grow older in Christ Jesus and wiser in all things spiritual, that one of the best possessions any person can have is a clear conscience. You feel good. I mean, you really feel good. You can let folks say about you whatever they will and it is of little consequence.The key to a clear conscience is to know where you stand in the Lord. When you know where you stand; when you know you have not done anything to anybody, when you know that you are not running around sneaking …



91. Really, Who Are You? By Lee Down
    You are a spiritual being. You recognize something in you that is greater than the experience you may be living. Trust that part of who you are.Our difficulty in our society is due to all the conditioning we have had through education and culture that places so much emphasis on our mind and denying our emotions. You have not been properly taught about your true spiritual nature and that the mind, body, and emotions are tools to serve you.These concepts can be quite challenging to accept, parti…



92. Yes or No? Difficult Questions for Christian Apologists By Dennis Diehl
    Yes or No? Difficult questions for Fundamentalist Christians.I was sitting in the Ambassador Auditorium, in Pasadena, California at a Bible Study, in the early 80's, on the Nature of God given by the then resident Greek scholar and thinker. He really was a very intelligent teacher and I always enjoyed, to a point, hearing from him. At times, it was an exercise in going around and around but never quite landing anywhere.The fact that I have yet to understand the true nature of the true God and…



93. The Incredible Power of Prayer By Wendy Betterini
    During moments of helplessness, there is always one thing that can be done to make us feel more purposeful: pray. Contrary to traditional prayer poses, we don't have to spend hours on our knees with hands steepled before us. Prayer can actually be a wonderful, calming, energizing, yet comfortable activity. Sit or lie in any position you wish. Arrange yourself as if you were preparing for a long chat with a close friend.Though prayer can mean different things to different people, most of us wou…



94. Dear Lord By Vaughn Pascal
    As I sit here and ponder my existence my heart is burdened by much. See I seek you but feel so unworthy of you, unworthy to be looked on by you. My Lord, I too know the pain of betrayal. I know the feeling of deception. I cry out to you in my need and feel humbled in knowing that You first felt the sting of betrayal, You first knew the look of deception and You first were the one to confront the one whom had betrayed You. My heart grows weak with an ache that only You may know Lord. I have my …



95. Thoughts That Kill By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
    In an article entitled "Some Evidence of How We Spiritually Connected” I discussed a recent case study where it was possible to clear a traumatic memory from one person's consciousness and by so doing it also helped permanently clear the traumatic memory from the consciousness of another person who shared the memory of the same event. In this study the second person was neither present nor aware of the work I was doing with the first person.I wish to use this study to highlight a very serious …



96. Are You a Worrier? By Kimberly Chastain
    Are you a worrier? I think it comes with the job description of Mom. Seems like there is always something you can worry about. As a child I memorized Philippians 4:6. This is what I memorized, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything pray.” Recently, I rediscovered this verse and found I had not done a complete memorization. The verse says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Did you catch the big …



97. What Did Jesus Really Say?
    Most people, even if they're not Christians, acknowledge that an exceptional spiritual master named Jesus lived and died 2,000 years ago. The story of his life and teachings are chronicled in the four gospels of the New Testament and they have captivated and inspired the Western world ever since. But how do we know what Jesus actually said? There was no stenographer or tape recorder present and the first gospel to be recorded, Mark, wasn't written until 30 years after Jesus' death. How much do …

Bible, Matthew XXVI: 41"Not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." Bible, II Corinthians III:6"Spirits are not finely touch'd But to fine issues."

99. Confidence and Trust
    My time here in New York State has been a wonderful opportunity for growth and remembering. I've had more contact with more people -- family, friends, people in general -- than I usually do in Wyoming. And I've been powerfully reminded of the lives of quiet desperation so many people are living. It ain't a pretty sight! Our modern world exhorts us to base our confidence and trust on what we do and not on who we are. We've forgotten how to live and love. No wonder so many are living lives of quie…



100. The Mysteries of Elemental Life and St. Germain's Teachings By Ron Henry
     FORCES OF NATURE ARE INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO MANKIND'S ACTIONS, DESTINY, and how I became initiated.Most people on some level would probably agree that we are somewhat connected to what outplays in Nature. That is, most would probably agree that we are certainly AT EFFECT of the mysterious forces that appear to act randomly, but could we consider that it is actually "us," the human factor, that greatly determines the cycles and torrents of Nature's release's.Could it be that Man is the emitter…

3. Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? By Owen Waters
Did you ever see something go wrong around you and suddenly burst out, “How on Earth did I create that?”Really, how can bad things happen, even to the sweetest, kindest, most spiritual people on the planet? Where’s the fairness in that?The root of the question lies partly in the fact that we live in a state of polarity consciousness. This is a point of view where life is seen as a contrast between opposing forces, and that events are either good or bad. Good or bad is a judgment issue. Judgmen…
