201. Genetically Predisposed to Faith By Arthur Levine
     Have you ever wondered how much faith you really have? If you are like me there have been times in your life when you question how much faith you have: times when you doubt your ability to cope with personal difficulties, and times when the threat of terrorism or natural disasters feels overwhelming. This is the time to strip away your inhibitions and use your imagination to find more faith.We are all genetically predisposed to have faith. It is a gift from God. The instinct to have faith is a…



202. Authentic Prophecy vs. Psychic Predictions, 10 True Comparisons
     All of humanity is completely misinformed of the meaning of Jesus Christ's message. Only authentic inspired prophecy can cure that lack at once, while prediction can do nothing. 1 - Authentic Prophecy is based upon eternal wisdom and the complete understanding of God's person, His principle, law and grace. Predictions are 50/50 suppositions of what could, or could not be so, a gamble with human lives in separation from God. 2 - Authentic Prophecy knows the beginning and the end simultaneously, …



203. The Sound of Silence
     In the silence of the space that holds my body in physical existence, echoes the inaudible voice of the master that is my eternal soul. God does not exist in this world, more over; God as we know him exists only as an illusion, painted by creatures of a physical world in their likeness. That which we call God is really nothing at all, and just as equally, everything that is. In his/her likeness I am sitting at my computer creating a senseless article about nothing. It is only a random thought…

206. ACTIVATING DNA'S HIGHER POTENTIALS
     ACTIVATING DNA'S HIGHER POTENTIALS Roshoniel DNA Activation is a relatively recent form of energy medicine that is fast approaching mainstream status. This fascinating field is based on the idea that it is possible to go deep within our own biology to the biochemical--and beyond, to the elecromagnetic--level and positively stimulate our molecular structure, or our very physical makeup. For many of those who offer and have experienced DNA Activation, the benefits can prove very real, and often u…



207. Life After Death - Is It Really Necessary That We Prove It? By Rose Smith
     Recently, I came across a book written in 1918 by Arthur Conan Doyle called "The New Revelation". It was his first book concerning his views on spiritualism and psychic phenomena. I found it fascinating to read, as much of the "proof" that he gathered and retold regarding "life" in the afterlife is still the same as what our psychics, mediums, and other metaphysical researchers of today tell us.The fact is, we've been receiving proof of an afterlife for centuries. People throughout time have t…



208. Religious Fanaticism and Poly-behavioral Addiction By James Slobodzien
     Surveys show that religion and spirituality play a central role in the lives of most of the population in human experience. Gallup (2004) found that 59% of adults nationwide say religion is a very important part of their lives. An additional 26% of Americans say religion is fairly important to them. Just 15% of respondents say religion is not very important. About two-thirds of Americans, 64%, belong to a church or synagogue. The religious and spiritual dimensions of culture were found to be a…



209. Living "Successfully" - Spiritual Answers for Modern Day Desires: Part 1 By Darren Herbold
     Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts, and see if any wicked way is in me; and lead me in the way everlastingLet me start by saying that this is not another “How To” article that are so common and successful in today’s world. This series of article’s will try to go much deeper than the “how” and answer the “why”.To explain, I must start with a supper my wife and I had with a couple of good friends and mentors not so long ago. I was asking many questions that we of…



210. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 3 of 10) By Teow Aun Chew
     Part 3 of 10 of "What is Life?" is the Third Admonition of Lao Mu and this is what she said:Tao is the most supreme.Lao Mu advised the cultivators to hurriedly attain enlightenment. Wake up to the truth and Tao; emptiness is not actually empty. Existence is nothingness; nothingness is existence. Both existence and nothingness are of the same essence.Image is emptiness; emptiness is image.The void is neither an image nor emptiness.When discussing about mysticism and talk about the void, not man…



211. Living Life Powered By My Own Intention, Knowing the True Essence of Security By Julie Coombs
     Since my departure from the traditional "Corporate Life" almost 8 months ago at the young age of 42, I have been on a free-bird journey to "find my bliss". In that time and my travels, I have continually been confronted with and struck by the fact that, although there is much talk about and studying of "the power of intentions", it appears to me as though many people aren't yet really "living it". "It" being their own life, dreams or reality in happiness and in well being.The lights of …



212. Ghosts and the Bible
     I write this to show the christian religious that yes, the bible does contain ghosts, or 'spirits.' I feel it necessary to correct the mis-thinking that the traditional, christian religion has created by stating, 'ghosts are impossible...because when one dies, they are either in heaven or hell.' This is incorrect. First of all, heaven is simply the realm of spirit; and hell is the state of a mind bound by fear created through mis-thinking. Religious, christian doctrines create much of the fear…



213. Esoteric & Occult Secrets By Graeme Wilson
     To understand the nature of esoteric and occult secrets it is worthwhile looking at origin of the words esoteric and occult. Esoteric derives from the Greek word esoterikos, from the root word eso, 'within' . The word occult derives from the Latin words occulere, 'conceal' and occultus, 'secret' . Both of these words, esoteric and occult, are used to describe the study of arcane wisdom, the spiritual mysteries, and magical and hermetic philosophies.'Secrets' often form the basis of many myster…

Well, I'm guilty too and as a youth volunteer, this can be your demise unless you can make some aspects of being a Christian exciting.

215. Repentance From the Heart: The Invitation of Jesus By Jeremy Hoover
     Jesus challenged the Jews of his day to true, heart-based repentance and to follow him. This is in contrast to the religion of the religious leaders of the day, who called Jews to find God through the Temple and its rituals and ceremonies. In this context, it was easy to become complacent and go through the routines of worship.But Jesus brought with him the prophetic expectation of the Old Testament. In Isaiah 40, we see that God declared he would bring an end to the people’s exile (40:3-5)…



216. You Are What You Think By Mike Bradley
     One of the first things you will find that God will start to do with you if you have decided to enter into a true sanctification process with Him is to try and put right thinking into your thought process.What you choose to think about and dwell on in this life will make or break you as to what type of person you will end up becoming in this life. Leave it to God the Father to perfectly capture, in one simple short verse from Scripture, the secret to being able to have good mental health in th…



217. Overcoming Pride By Brian Jones
     The first church I ever served was located in an extremely small town in Eastern Kentucky. There wasn’t even a stop-light at the time. The church was full of wonderful farmers, which was ironic, because the only time I had ever been to a farm up until that time was on school field trips. On one occasion I was visiting a family in the church and watched their young son throw “feed” on the ground for the chickens. Very quickly there was a swarm towards the food and chickens starting hitting othe…



218. Conscious Creation: New Years Resolution
     I've made a lot of New Years resolutions in my time, perhaps more than I'd like to remember! But my favorite resolution was when I decided to start creating my life consciously rather than unconsciously. You might be thinking that you are creating your life consciously. But, if I asked you to tell me what your intent is for this year, chances are you wouldn't be able to answer my question at first. Perhaps you would need to think about it for a while. But, while I was waiting for your answer, l…



219. Karma: Is It Good or is It Bad? You Decide! By Joseph Ghabi
     We hear this word so often and have one thing stuck in our mind – it’s either a bad thing or a good thing. The other issue is: do we believe in Karma? Regardless of whether we believe in that word or not, it is still there. Karma plays a big part in our experiences and life lessons. Even if the “word“ Karma does not exist in your personal vocabulary, karma still exists in your life.By human nature, we usually drive ourselves to learn things the hard way. That’s fine, and I can relate to that…



220. Understanding the Gospel of Matthew and Why it Matters - Part 3 By Justin Nale
     The Birth of Jesus Christ18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before the came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that wh…



221. Traveling Out Of Body By Keith Varnum
     I can see the cops coming! They're a good thousand feet away. I can clearly make out their uniforms and swinging nightsticks. How can I be seeing this?I didn't dare mention it to my fellow underage drinking mates lounging with me on the grassy knoll in the park. Am I making this up? Projecting it somehow into my vision? Forcefully, I shook my head back and forth in an effort to free my mind of its strange perception.But the view of the two police officers remained in my sight, as they sauntere…



222. Calling Upon the Angels to Help By George Lockett
     Getting assistance from the Angles, to help find solutions for events in our lives.Angels have been around as long as man. Most religions mention them. But how do we connect with our Angel friends and call upon their help.Most religions say, “ask and you will receive”, so how do we go about this asking process?To “ask” take the attention within, you can do this through the process of meditation, or just sitting quietly and letting the mind settle down. When you feel that inner silence or peace…



223. White Sun - Emptiness By Teow Aun Chew
     In the search of Truth, man of cultivation must learn two things. Firstly, realization is an important stage and if one wishes to seek further, realization is a necessity. For with realization, the wisdom is then opened up. When the wisdom is opened up, the knowledge will then be widened and one will be able to see things at their best, otherwise it is only look, and not see. When one goes deeper into it, one will realize his own nature and find his true self. When these two treasures of man a…



224. Getting Sodom Straight: A Scriptural Overview By Dennis Diehl
     The Biblical story of Sodom is not the story of a town that happened to be 100% gay, men and boys, for this is a ludicrous assumption. This would have to be the conclusion if God, vowing to save it for ten righteous men, did not. It would also mean that "righteous" meant heterosexual, while unrighteous meant homosexual and, well, I doubt that alone qualifies men to be righteous.The story that unfolds in Genesis 19 is a hospitality story and not a story based on homosexuality. Sodom's proble…



225. Protector By Mellody Davis
     Some may ask why in a disaster some people are save and others are not? Well Jesus said to his sheep that no harm will come to them. He also said that he is our provider. Lets look at what the Bible says about protection. Lets look at the book of Psalm 32:1 it says Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. Now look at verse 7 it says You are my hiding place; you …

4. Green-Eyed Monster By Donna Shepherd
Recently I received a book by snail mail - a gift from an author I met on-line. I took the book downstairs and propped it up on the bookrack on my new treadmill. I opened it up being careful not to break the spine. I love the way a new book feels. I love the way I feel - excited about the treasure hidden between the covers.And what a treasure it was. The writer included an entire book's worth of information in the first chapter. My thirty-minute workout passed by before I knew it.While I savor…
