126. The Garden of Agony (Part 1) By Saundra L. Washington
     Eden, the garden of ecstasy is no longer available to us. We left it in sin and shame and it cannot be regained. All the privileges it offered have been forfeited. And so every man on this toilsome journey through life, in the midst of much tribulation and much soul searching, enters the Garden of Agony.We do not enter this garden out of choice. Destiny calls us to it and we must heed the call. Jesus said "if a man is to save his life, he must first lose it." Regardless of our socio – economi…



127. Researching Your Spiritual Path By Tina M.
     So really, how did you find your spiritual path? This is a very good question that I get asked quite often. If you are searching and want to begin your spiritual journey or path but don’t know how then you probably have more questions than answers. Firstly in order to begin your spiritual path you’ll need some basic ideas of what you are looking for, in other words, what you want to accomplish spiritually. During a peaceful time of meditation when you can be alone just think about your life an…



128. Petitioning for Your Needs By Isaac Nwokogba
     Human beings are blessed with a unique gift: the gift of prayer or petition to the Infinite for our needs. A religious person would call it prayer; others may call it petition or meditation. There is a clear distinction between petition and meditation, however. Meditation is generally a passive process, but in a petition, we actively communicate with the Infinite Source. The word "petition" itself conveys the significance of the process. In human law, once a suit is filed or a legal proceeding…



129. Neither White-washed Nor Unmarked By Steve Singleton
     When I was 10 years old my father decided to dig a full basement out from under our house. In one corner he pointed out to me a change in the pattern of the packed earth that formed the wall. “Notice how this part is all layered,” he said, “while the earth right next to it is not? This may be an old Indian grave.” I was filled with amazement. Our house might have been built on top of a dead man’s bones! Two warnings Jesus made about the Pharisees seem contradictory at first. He says they are …



130. Almost Persuaded By Anthony Smith
     "Acts 26: 24-28 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou bel…



131. Footprints and Monuments - Slow Down By Jeff Earlywine
     Every month I usually sit down and write an article around the topics of leadership, teamwork, vision, or self-improvement. However, this month I am only passing on something that came across my desk a few days ago. If this means something to you - pass it on, if not simply delete it and be looking for next month's article that will surely help you live your life to your potential.A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.…



132. When All Else Fails, Talk To An Astrologer By Randall Curtis
     What I am about to tell you may not change your life, but it could lead you to discover resources that you never thought were available to you.For example, most of the people walking around here on earth think of the stars and planets as being very far away -- out there -- up there, some place. However, there are other people who see themselves as a part of the heavens -- not separate. This means that, like the other planets, the earth is zipping through space at an incredible speed and…



133. God's Will By Mellody Davis
     Many may wonder what is God’s will, or how do I put God’s will into my life? Well let’s see what the Bible says about God’s will. We must first understand that Jesus wants us to be holy. Let’s look at 1Peter 1:13 it says Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, s…



134. Anam Cara - Life as a Box of Paints By Tony Cuckson
     Lonely Song“a box of paints - lament for my da”It has been a wonderful morning full of feelings. Feelings arise and feelings go. First there is delight. Then there is sorrow. Then again there is delight. I sit playing guitar in the early morning sunshine and the mail arrives. In the mail is a gift from a friend. On opening this mail I find new delight. I have been sent a magazine and on the back is a love poem.I treat each of these feelings as a simple movement of energy without judgeme…



135. Psychic Ability - Reflections of Reality
     Psychic Ability - Reflections of Reality What is Psychic Ability and is it real? I believe psychic ability is the ability to know intuitively things that are not visible with the naked eye. It is perception and knowingness without having been told. Although we all have this ability to one degree or another, it is an ability that over time has been frowned upon, made a mockery of and been feared and doubted by the majority of the populace. When I ask myself why this should be, the only feas…



136. Finding Freedom! By Kim Bloomer
     "You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. " Psalm 31:8, NIVDuring this weekend we're reminded of all of those who've gone before to fight for our country so that we can remain America the Free. I'm not sure how many truly realize the cost of freedom and what it takes for us to remain that way. In fact, many of our basic rights such as freedom of religion are disintegrating right before our eyes and yet with so much apathy prevalent it seems as though w…



137. Resolutions or Revelations? By Vivian Gordon
     There's nothing wrong with wanting to improve ourselves either outwardly or inwardly. What's important is to check the motives behind the improvements.Do we want to improve our outward appearance in order to get more attention from the opposite sex or do we just want to be healthier as a result of losing weight? Are we trying to make improvements that will get us attention from those around us or are we secretly improving the hidden parts that only God sees? If flattery and compliments …



138. A New Beginning By Jo Ball
     Sometimes showing up for life can seem like a major achievement. And within that ‘showing up’ we’re showing tremendous courage. We’re not giving up. We’re forcing our way back - searching for meaning, trying to find a new direction… a reason to go on.I know the emotions of failure. I know the thoughts - the questions: what’s the point? Why me? Why now? What is this all about? And I know the choice we come to within these questions: do we fall away, a bitter cynic; or do we find our way, make …



139. GOD Loves Us All By Paul Bradley
     God, what a wonderful spirit. He, is our ever present savior and helper in times of need. This God, who loves us and lives within the beleivers of Christ,ie, "Those that are saved". What, would this world be like without Him? Could this world, inhabited by humans live in peace and prosperity? No, it could not. Why, because this world is ever controlled by the devil, and his fallen elite. They have corrupted this world beyond our comprehension and understanding.When the Devil fell, he was sent…



140. The Victory By Mellody Davis
     Many people may ask what is the victory and how do you achieve it. Lets look at what the Bible says about the victory. First look at 2Corinthians 10:3 it says For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obe…



141. Blessed Are By Anthony Smith
     In our life we become poor in spirit at one time or another. We see many changes in our lives from birth to our death. But in between we see the hope of our salvation and the promises of eternal life thru Jesus Christ.Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the poor in spirit; These are the people that are convinced of sin and unrighteousness, which are willing to accept the truth about themselves. Understanding that there is no hope without a …



142. Lonely No More By Amy Biddle
     When you feel lonely, it seems that loneliness is the truth of your whole existence. You may have experienced love and friendly camaraderie just yesterday, but now it seems you must have been kidding yourself. Today’s loneliness, because it’s so familiar, seems to be the only reality. It must be real, you think, because it hurts so much. But although loneliness is so very painful, it’s not real at all.Loneliness is only fear in disguise. It’s a fear of not being connected to anything or anyone…



143. The Miracle of Lexie Chihuahua By Linda Miller
     I would like to tell you the story of a very special little Chihuahua girl. Her name is Lexie (short for Alexa) and I call her my "grand-puppy. " She came to me through a series of miracles that I believe were orchestrated by my son, Brian Michael, before his passing on February 22, 2003. Lexie has brought more comfort and love to me than I can even describe. She has been my constant companion and my live connection with Brian.Around Christmas time of 2002 Brian started talking about gettin…



144. Living Without
     So many of the letters I receive are often related to financial or physical restrictions the person is currently experiencing. These individuals reach out because they know life could be better...but they just don't know how to get there on their own. They are tired of feeling they are living without so many of the good things that life could or should provide. We all have these thoughts and experiences in one way or another, but they can all be worked on and healed by applying a few basic conce…



145. Spiritual Surrender: Living a Peace Filled Life By Lisa Sullivan
     Are you at a crossroad in your life where you want the after to be better than the before? Do you feel as though your life is not on “purpose”? Are you scared of what the future may hold for you or angry at what has happened in the past? If any of these themes ring true for you, than I would ask you to let go, and surrender.I am often asked what the term Spiritual Surrender means. To me it is about living each moment as it comes and not worrying about what has taken place in the past or what m…



146. Oh My God By Roy Klienwachter
     “Oh my God,” or “Oh God,” are common expressions used world wide involuntarily at moments of recognition of an intense experience.Some say it is a quick prayer or mini prayer and it comes out during extreme emotion. In my experience, I have heard it used as acknowledgement of a horrific event, an orgasm or news of a winning ticket. So I believe that it is simply an acknowledgement or affirmation but I don’t really connect it to the physical body so much as I do with the spiritual body.I believ…



147. The Meaning Behind the Ankh By Brenda Hoffman
     The Ankh (aka the crux aitsata, or the 'ansate' or 'handled cross') was sacred to the ancient Egyptians (this is actually the land of Ancient Kemet - "the land of the blacks" - which the Greeks later renamed Egypt) and is known as the original cross. This symbol stands for life or living, and forms part of the Egyptian words such as 'health' and 'happiness.' (This is why it's often referred to as the Key of Life which would unlock the gates of death, aka the cross of life.) It is linked with t…



148. Trust is Prosperity By Vivian Gordon
     A while back the Lord had given me this message which has prompted me to study it further and find out just what He meant. He told me, "Trust is Prosperity". Somehow I felt His love surround me and I wasn't quite sure what He meant, but I knew that my trust in Him would prosper me in ways I had not even thought about, not just financial. Prosperity engulfs many things, both physical and spiritual. It could be our health, our attitudes, the condition of our spiritual life, and somehow …



149. Let Your Light Shine By Teri Thomas
     "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that …



150. The Magic of Tarot Card Reading By Sherry Sims
     The magic of the tarot was obvious to me the first time that someone confirmed that my tarot card reading was accurate. Of course, the first time that I did a tarot reading for someone else I really had no reason to believe that the reading I was about to give could be so revealing. I was amazed at the words that sort of just came out of my mouth, all by themselves. And I couldn't have told you a minute earlier what I had in mind next to say. The words were just there, and I was speaking them.…

2. Is It Safe To Walk Into Your Doctor's Office? By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
In a recent case study which I also summarized in a recent article entitled "Some Evidence of How We Are Spiritually Connected" I discuss how we are connected beyond the physical.Briefly the study revealed that two individuals who experienced the same traumatic incident together shared the energetic memory of the incident in their own bio-fields as well as a common interpersonal or collective field. When I employed a new modality to help one of the individuals completely release their energeti…

3. Why Did God Create Things That Decay and Die?
You are not living in a world created by God because God could not create the things you see and experience here. Since God is perfect, he can only create perfect things....and this world, this reality, is far, far from perfect. God is perfect peace and love. God is everlasting growth and giving. God is growing and expanding and creating all things eternal and perfect. God is unquenchable life beyond any concept of life we may have. God is eternal blessings where everything benefits everything e…
