Salvation enabled my spiritual awakening

-

I was raised a Christian but as I grew up I thought Christianity had a narrow lens through which to interpret humanity's relationship to the great spiritual experience , and this is the reason I dabbled in New Age beliefs where I was taught practices like meditation and being one with nature to help my spiritual awakening.

Spiritual Awakening is a call to higher consciousness and deeper mental awareness. The process of spiritual awakening brings about personal transformation and a shift in one’s worldview. When someone goes through a spiritual awakening they experience a shift in their mental framework.

When I started applying my Christian faith through a relationship with the Creator rather than religion I then learnt that contrary to my previous beliefs there was no need for me to dabble into New Age beliefs and practices because when Christianity is applied as prescribed by the Scriptures it leads to spiritual awakening.

Salvation brings spiritual enlightenment

When I decided to explore the spiritual realm through the domain that is ruled by Jesus Christ i.e. the Kingdom of God I got saved. This salvation has implications for me in this lifetime and in eternity. The eternal implications are that I am now saved to spend eternity with the Creator. 

The implications of my salvation in this lifetime are that I am saved to fulfill the Creator’s agenda on the earth. I am saved so that through me the Creator's agenda can be brought to life on earth. The Creator is a spiritual being and for his agenda to be successful through me I need to have the ability to spiritually discern his will.

When I got saved I was simultaneously enabled to spiritually discern his will through the Holy Spirit. My responsibility is to ensure I enhance this ability through working on my relationship with the Creator. My salvation is a free gift it is not a consequence of my efforts or practices; it protects my mind and brings me spiritual awakening that brought me a new life.

I am therefore working out my salvation as a means to a spiritual awakening so I can be who I was created to be.

LIFE LESSON: Self help is no help

I recently watched a series on Showmax titled - The VOW. It is a documentary that follows the experiences of people deeply involved in the self-improvement group NXIVM, an organization under siege with charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy brought against its highest members and founder Keith Ranier.  I previously held very harsh views against people who have fallen victims of cults but after watching this documentary I have learnt not to be quick to judge, because the story of the victims in this documentary could have easily been my story. The people narrating their experiences in this documentary are good people with sober habits. They were looking to find meaning and purpose for their lives, a journey I believe we should all embark on, because when we find our life purpose we are then well positioned to make an impact in our society and communities.I am currently on a journey of self discovery and that is why I can identify with them and watching their s...

I am a SHEEP who needs a SHEPHERD

When I got frustrated by the failure of my denominational church teachings to provide me with real life solutions to real life problems, I aligned myself with a New Age slogan “Hail to thyself for I am my own master, I am my own God I need no shepherd for I am not a sheep ”. The slogan appealed to me because there was no obvious link between what I was being taught at my denominational church and my daily life experience.This led me to conclude that the God I am searching for on the outside must reside within me, meaning I am my own god. As it turns out this belief is the misappropriation of the Biblical truth.  Defense against false gods In the spiritual realm there are spiritual beings who parade themselves as the true God, these false gods have supernatural powers that are above that of natural beings. Their mission is to deceive human beings away from the agenda of the true God. I am by default aligned to these false gods and to defend myself against their mission I have to opt...
