"The Truth in Life"
Authored by a friend
Introduction
The Truth in Life stares us in the face every day. We can't see it...it's not there for us to reach out and touch...but we can hear...and feel it.
We don't need to touch...to feel...and we don't need to see...to envision...because what we feel without touching and envision without seeing comes from within...from our minds eye and ear and from our other senses...including spiritual senses. Our spiritual senses will hear two distinct voices from within and visions from above...or below.
Typically, from a spiritual perspective...we feel either peaceful (at rest) or anxious (restless). This state of rest or restlessness is derived through our spiritual activity or from our lack of it.
To live life to the fullest is to clearly understand just exactly what does stare us in the face each day. The starting point to achieving this understanding is to develop an awareness as to just what instills this state of rest, or restlessness. This book will help us learn how to discern between the two...so we can live in peace...and avoid the state of restlessness and spiritual uncertainty.
With a state of rest...and a state of restlessness as our opposing benchmarks...and the detection of two distinct voices from within as our base line understanding...the question is...which voice to listen to, and how to tell them apart?
The two voices we hear are from GOD if we invite HIM and HIS ways...or...from the devil / Satan if we invite him and his ways. Once we have established the difference between them, we can accurately live our life under the direction of the GOD of the Universe. This will take the unrest out of our life, and the peace of GOD will surround us.
GOD is a Spirit...and his adversary Satan is a Spirit...which is why we can't see them. These are the TWO Spiritual Opposites at work here on Earth. There are not 3 or 4...IE: one for every religion...just 2...but there are a lot of lost religions...too many to list.
GOD IS "Love" and all that is good and peaceful...Satan (the devil) IS "hate" and all that is evil, troublesome and full of trickery...which will cause us to be restless. GOD wants to show us our way through life...the devil wants to bring trouble into our life...trick us...keep us confused about life...and will do anything to keep us from
This book exposes those troublesome tricks that the devil conjures up...and shows you how he will try to trip you up...so your life becomes a mess...lead you away from the Truth...just a little bit...to keep you confused...in a state of restlessness...and...so far away from the Truth in Life...that you don't even realize that there is a Truth available to YOU.
With these things in mind...it is easy to understand that the devil really doesn't want you to read this book...he wants to keep you confused about life...keep you thinking that you will never understand your purpose in life...So...
If you become uncomfortable as you read on...you may be having a Spiritual heart attack, which is one of his tricks...You see...
...The devil gives out those Spiritual heart attacks to those who don't have the peace and armor of GOD around them...you can identify these Spiritual heart attacks if you feel anxious, bored, distracted...uneasy and aggravated...self-righteous...or fearful...
...also...
When he is around you...you will feel his ugly presence!
So...
...if you are feeling like this book can wait for another time...that's the devil playin with your mind...that's "his" voice...you have been warned...read on...if it gets really bad...just say these words...
As you do read on...you will start to understand the power of these 3 words. The devil hates these words...so just keep saying them...and...sooner or later he will disappear...and you can enjoy this book in peace.
Whether you have come to realize it or not...THAT IS the world we live in...and there is not one thing you...or...I can do to change it.
Why people curse GOD
Did you ever wonder why people use the LORD'S name in vain...curse GOD...curse JESUS?
The devil will do ANYTHING to get you to curse GOD...that's his way to keep you from GOD, and all the benefits of having a relationship with GOD...and he WILL do anything to keep you from GOD...
...Because your soul is at stake here...and he wants your soul!
Why don't people curse Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Allah or any other religious figureheads?
Simple...
...They don't exist today...
...or at all...
...they are just some manmade mock up religious what ever...brought into existence by man for their own benefit...
..."Hey...let's start a religion...$$$"...
...or by their own stupidity...
..."HEY...let's worship the...MOON"...
...to distract you from the Truth...
..."We believe about 2/3 of the bible".
And designed by people who listen to the devil when he whispers in their ear...
..."Do this, and your problems are over".
The devil only wants you to curse GOD...and...JESUS...They are REAL, and alive...he won't prompt you to curse a dead religion...or their figureheads...
...the devil's battle is with GOD and JESUS...
...there are NO OTHER POWERS IN THE
UNIVERSE...
...everything is under GOD...and JESUS was there in the beginning...with GOD...and...the devil couldn't be happier if you are lost in any of these other religious sects...and he is even happier with each new religion being introduced...
(*&Hey(here's^a#new&angle^(?
That is how he keeps you confused about life...and...that is how he keeps you from the Truth in Life...and none of these religious sects have any Spiritual benefit for you...
...NONE...
...because they are spiritually
Dead...
...they have no Effect...
...because there is only one "GOD"...and one "SON"...PERIOD
Ephesians 4 vs. 5+6
"One LORD, one Faith, one Baptism...One GOD, and FATHER of ALL, who is above all, and through all, AND IN YOU ALL" ...period.
James 2 vs. 19
You believe that there is one GOD...you do well. The demons also believe and tremble.
Do you hear people around you curse GOD...?
Maybe they don't know the Truth in Life?
READ ON...Friend
Why does the devil do these things? Understand this...YOUR SOUL...RIGHT NOW...either belongs to the devil or to GOD...there is not a third or forth place where your soul can go...and there is no in-between...and...there are no other religions or Spiritual sects that can save your soul...
Keep reading friend
GOD has always existed...He created you and I and all the world around us...GOD is the only one that the devil wants you to damn and curse...which is why the devil will spark that little angry thing inside you and get you to say those dirty little words.... (Curse GOD)...or have you think, or do, some dirty little deed...or get you to do anything to break GODS Ten Commandments.
The above facts lead us to a very true understanding...that there is a Spirit world working in and around us...how did it all start?
Adam and Eve were the first two humans that GOD MADE...and both of them fell for one of the devils subtle little tricks...and right then and there...sin was born into Adam... because he disobeyed GOD...and...the devil had his first victim...HOW? GOD had commanded that Adam and Eve ... "Do not eat the fruit from the center of the Garden of Eden"...but Eve got sucked in by the devil...and they both ate the fruit of the tree from the center of the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 3 vs. 13
And the LORD GOD said unto the women, "What is this that thou hast done"? And the woman said, "The devil tricked me, and I did eat from the forbidden tree.
Just like you and I...Adam and Eve were tempted ...we get tempted... ...we want something...something that GOD has warned us that is not good...you know...that soft voice inside us that says...
..."no don't do it"...
...things that go AGAINST the Ten Commandments...and the teachings in the Bible...but we do it anyways...because GOD has given us a free will to chose...but HE wants us to obey HIM freely...but we sometimes think its no big deal...so we do it anyway...
...because we don't understand the consequences...and...
...THAT'S THE STUFF THAT SEPARATES US FROM GOD...
THAT'S HOW "YOU TURN YOUR" BACK ON GOD...
...That is called sin...and that soft voice inside you...the one you didn't listen to...that is there to warn you...so LISTEN to that soft voice!
SO...let's all understand what we have just said...Adam...(and Eve)...because he was weak...like us...allowed sin into himself, and subsequently, his seed / sperm was contaminated with sin...and all of us come from Adams seed...so...all of us are born with sin in us...and sin separates us from GOD.
THAT SET THE STANDARD...we are all in the wrong and have sin in us, before we start! ...And we all fall short of what GOD wants us to be...this means that we have to get right with GOD ASAP...HOW?
Well...you need to know that GOD IS HOLY and PERFECT...we can't even imagine this...but because of this...GOD cannot even look at us.
So...
...GOD sent someone to us, whereby we could get right with HIM...
...YOU acknowledge this someone every time you acknowledge the date on a calendar or in the newspaper...and every time you write a letter and date it!
Did you know that the beginning of the Calendar was the birth date of JESUS?
Do you like..."get"... the relevance of this being the BEGINNING OF THE CALENDAR...THAT EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD ACKNOWLEDGES?
GOD sent his Son JESUS...2004 years ago...
...To be the go-between back to GOD...sort of like your lawyer in court that is our go-between to the Judge...and the LAW.
First John 3 vs. 8
He that practices sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose GOD sent his Son JESUS, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
So...
...JESUS is GODS Son...HIS only Son...like it or not...
...it's the Truth!
Luke 3 vs. 22
And the HOLY Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon JESUS, and a voice came down from heaven, which said, You are my beloved SON; in you I am well pleased.
And...JESUS said in the Bible,
John 14 vs. 6
I am the Way, the Truth and the LIFE...No one comes to GOD the Father except through me".
So...YOU may not realize this BUT...if you deny JESUS AS GOD'S SON... (This is the devils sole purpose) YOU DO NOT HAVE GOD EITHER...period.
Read for yourself
First John 2 vs. 23
WHOEVER denies the SON does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the SON also has the Father.
So...JESUS is GODS Son...period...if you thought... or have been taught otherwise...you are wrong...period.
And if you believe in GOD without believing in JESUS as the Son of GOD...YOU HAVE NO GOD...whoever told you otherwise was wrong...period.
So let's summarize...
(1) We are born into this world as a sinner...like it or not!
(2) We live in a sprit world and we are subject to its consequences...like it or not!
(3) The ONLY way to GOD is via JESUS
This is all part of GOD'S master plan...and you are in it...like it or not...and you will like it some day...so as you walk towards your Spiritual destiny...you best know where you are walking...read on.
Lets all understand something before we continue...
...Because of these very FACTS...you may as well realize right now that...
Your knees...both of them...sooner or later...will bow down to GOD...
...and so will mine...and so will every human being that ever walked the earth...and we will all acknowledge that JESUS is the living SON of GOD...and...
...GOD is not pleased when people reject HIS SON...so your knees will bow from earth now...or from Heaven or Hell later...and the choice is yours alone.
This is the truth in life...friends.
Romans 14: vs. 11
As I live...says the LORD, Every Knee will bow to me.
Notice in the following verse that it refers to things under the earth...that, friends...is Hell.
Philippians 2 vs. 10 + 11
That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of the things of Heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of GOD the FATHER.
Those of us who do it now...of our own free will...find peace with GOD...and clear direction through this life...tranquility and his blessing.
Those of us that do not...keep searching for that little missing thing in our life...and the devil will do ANYTHING to keep you thinking that the little missing thing is no big deal...or...is just around the bend...or in that new job, or thing, or relationship, or drink...or business venture your counting on.
But its not!
Sitting on the Fence
Sitting on the fence on this issue...no offense, but there is none...fence that is...! There quite simply is no fence to sit on...take the light switch example...it is always either on or off...there is no in-between...no fence...you choose...on or off? Yes or No...and because of Adam...you are already on the wrong side of the answer...so right now...if you have not acknowledged and received JESUS as the Son of GOD...the LORD of your life...and the only one who can forgive your sins... you are an enemy of GOD...Yes or No ...No Fence to sit on!
The Bible says, "If you are not for me...you are against me"...
so you must make a decision...because Adam made the first one for you...now it's your turn...each one of us MUST make the decision.
Sound simple...it IS...don't complicate it.
Keep reading, "Friends"
Now ...lets be sure that we all understand this...and...lets be perfectly clear...You are born in sin (Adams sin) ...which is ...light switch off...darkness...devils domain...which may be why your life is messed up...or why you don't understand any of this...keep reading...
...and...
...To get the light on (JESUS) you have to...turn the switch ON...no fence ...no in between.
So...
...Like it or not we all get off on the wrong foot...we are all stuck in sin at birth and there is only "one way" to get right with GOD...
...JESUS...period.
You may want to turn a blind eye to this entire book, and just ignore it...maybe you just don't want to be a part of this plan, for one of a thousand reasons that the devil will put on your mind...SO... just so we all understand what's being said about GOD'S Law...lets use an example here...
...When you get in an airplane, and take off...YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE LANDING...SO...PLEASE KNOW FRIENDS...THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN TO THIS EARTH...YOU TOO...JUST LIKE IN THE AIRPLANE...WILL EITHER LAND IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL...THAT IS OUR DESTINY...SO YOU MUST MAKE A DECISION...You do not have the choice to abstain...and if you do...because of ADAM...your destiny is to live in the devil's house forever...
...READ ON.
Blood
In the old testament of the Bible, (before the birthday of JESUS) GOD required sacrifices...that is where we get the term...the sacrificial lamb...as many times the best-unspotted lamb was used as the sacrifice to GOD for the sins of the people.
The bottom line is that GOD required blood to accompany the sacrifice to atone for the sins of our forefathers. You see friends...it's all about SIN...because GOD is HOLY and Perfect...and sinless...we are not...The Old Testament also tells us that GOD will create a new covenant (no sacrifice needed thereafter) with mankind...and write this new covenant on our very hearts...and HE has done this...and it is there...in every heart...mine...and yours...and...
...this book is going to show you how to wake it up...and bring IT to life...and bring YOU to Life!
Jeremiah 31 vs. 33
This shall be the covenant that I make with the house of Israel; and I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be my people.
That means us...you and me are GODS people...
Romans 10 vs. 12
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same LORD over all is rich to all that call upon HIM.
And...the Bible also says that...
...JESUS "IS" the new covenant...after which GOD no longer required blood sacrifices. The reason that HE no longer required blood sacrifices is because GOD sent JESUS to be the blood sacrifice ...and the sacrificial lamb...2004 years ago, which is why JESUS is referred to as the LAMB OF GOD...and...when HE was nailed to the cross about 1970 years ago...HE did what GOD wanted HIM to do...give up HIS blood...and PAY for OUR sins...so we don't have to...and this was GODS way of bridging the gap...which Adam started... between Man (you and I) and GOD.
GODS New Covenant
This new covenant came about by JESUS being the blood sacrifice...and...this is the New Testament of the Bible which JESUS proclaimed in the Book of Luke when he was at the last supper with his disciples...breaking bread and sharing the fruit of the vine.
Luke 22 vs. 19, 20
And he took bread and gave thanks, and broke the bread, and gave it to all his disciples and said, "This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me". Likewise with the fruit of the vine, after the supper, he said, "This cup is the "New Testament" in my blood, which is shed for you".
Ephesians 2 Vs. 7
JESUS, in whom we have redemption through HIS BLOOD...the forgiveness of sins...according to the riches of HIS grace
It's all about the CROSS, friends
JESUS then DIED...
...for our sins...period...
...HE didn't have to...
...HE could have used his divine power to avoid his earthly death...
Mathew 28 vs. 18
And JESUS came and spoke to them saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth".
...But he didn't...
...because IT WAS GOD'S PLAN THAT ALL OF MANKIND BE RECONCILED TO GOD...TO REVERSE WHAT ADAM AND EVE HAD DONE...AND FOR THE THINGS THAT ALL OF US HAVE DONE THAT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO GOD...AND THE BLOOD OF HIS SON WAS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS...THIS WAS GOD'S PLAN...like it or not...understand it or not...that was...AND IS...GOD'S plan...period...JESUS obeyed his Father...and died a horrible death on the cross...(Good Friday)...
...see the movie...its excellent!
and
"The Passion of the Christ"
But 3 days later GOD raised HIS physical earthly body from the dead, and back to life...(Easter Sunday) re-united with HIS Spirit...which never died...This is where JESUS defeated death...many saw HIM...and walked with HIM...and talked with HIM...and to prove it...some of HIS friends wrote about HIM...they wrote notes and stories and biographies...and all these stories were inspired by GOD...so that all that was written was accurate and true.
Second Timothy 3 vs. 16
All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD...
Today these notes and stories are called scriptures...and are available for you to read in the "New and Old Testament" of "The Holy Bible"...
...Best selling book in history.
Shortly after this GOD sent to all of us..."The Holy Spirit"...THIS...Is GOD'S way of writing his PLAN on our hearts...The Holy Spirit speaks to our mind and to our heart... and directs our path in life...some call it our conscience.
"I'm fine Thanks"
If you don't believe the preceding...and don't know JESUS and you think you are just fine, understand this.
As long as you don't know JESUS the devil will leave you alone...and you will think you are just fine thanks.
Why? He already has your soul...period...remember...we are born into sin...when you are born your soul is the devils...and GOD has given us a free will to decide...
...so...
... YOU MUST MAKE THE DECISION.
Its when you are looking for GOD and getting close to the light of JESUS...that the devil will start paying you some attention.
He doesn't want you to find GOD...and certainly not JESUS, which is your ticket "to" GOD...and "away" from the devil.
And...
...That GOD given Spirit we have within us...that's the Spirit / conscience that calls us to the light of JESUS.
Have you ever been in church or been watching a true Godly minister on TV and that conscience of yours starts to call you...that's the Spirit of GOD calling and encouraging you for your decision...Yes...or...No?
Its amazing to watch in Church sometimes...people that you would least expect it from...all of a sudden are on their feet...and walking to the front of the church and making the decision to receive GOD'S plan for their life...and to receive and follow JESUS...that's the Holy Spirit leading you to your decision.
It's not Rocket Science
Friends...this is the Truth in life!
Understand it or not...like it or not...IT IS THE WAY IT IS...PERIOD...and when GOD calls you by the Holy Spirit...WOW...its pretty amazing...and then you know...all the doubts and confusion that the devil had put in your life...and on your mind...will go away...because where GOD is...the devil cannot be!
And...
...this amazing peace will come over you...and you might cry...but it's totally different than crying...it's more like...
A RELEASE of tears...because sin is kind of all pent up inside us...and it keeps us up tight...
...because its not good for our body or our Spirit or our minds...and then it's gone...it flows away...it's great...because you are also in the presence of GOD...and there is no better place...Ponder this............................... for a moment...read this again.
And then...
...That thing that's been missing in your life...
...IS FOUND!
Here's a bad example...if ya got a Chevy...ya don't bring it to Ford...and if ya got a MAC program...ya don't run it on Windows...
Remember GOD made us!
When you find GOD, and find his son JESUS...you also find the Holy Spirit...and you will KNOW this is good...you will feel it...because GOD made you! The Holy Spirit in the Bible is also referred to as the comforter...and this great feeling of comfort will come over you.
The following is a promise from JESUS found in...
St. John 14 vs. 16, 17, 26
And I will pray the Father, and HE shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees HIM not, neither knows HIM; but you know HIM, for HE dwells with you, and shall be in you. But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
