Imbalance is the way to true destiny

-

LIFE LESSON: The journey to true destiny begins when the balancing scales of life tip too heavily towards the intangible realm of spirituality, rather than the tangible and practical aspects of life.


When I started my journey of faith, some in my social circles accused me of being too spiritual, urging me to seek a balance between spirituality and worldly concerns. This view persisted even when I sought guidance from experienced fellow travelers on my faith journey, leaving me discouraged and questioning my path.Despite all my efforts I found balancing the spiritual and natural realms inherently incompatible.


However, I later discovered a profound truth that shifted my perspective. Rather than being an obstacle, being excessively spiritual is precisely the imbalance required for alignment with the God of the Bible. Pursuing a balance between my natural and spiritual realities hinders my progress toward God's plans. True closeness to God demands the replacement of selfish desires rooted in natural reality with God's desires grounded in the spiritual realm (1 Peter 3:18).


Relying on my natural reality to find equilibrium with spiritual reality is futile because the spiritual realm transcends the grasp of my natural senses (Jude 1:8). While my natural reality seeks validation from fellow humans, living by the standards of the spiritual realm - God's standards - may result in rejection by worldly standards (1 Peter 4:6). This dynamic renders a balance between these two realms impossible.


Moreover, not only is finding a balance between spirituality and natural reality impossible, but it also contradicts God's will for my life. To align genuinely with His will, I must embrace a state of excessive spirituality in a natural world. This understanding empowered me to persevere on my spiritual journey, recognizing that the so-called imbalance is the catalyst for my alignment with God's plans.

LIFE LESSON: The gospel is not about what God can do for me

WHAT RELIGION TAUGHT ME The Gospel of Christ is about me and what God can do for me WHAT FAITH IS TEACHING ME God has put into action a plan to unite heaven and earth since the day Adam and Eve disobeyed him in the Garden of Eden, but before that happens God has a mission on the earth to reconcile with humanity so that they could share his inheritance with his Son Jesus Christ. This reconciliation is only possible through unity with his Son Jesus Christ, it is a free gift to humanity that cannot be earned and it is available to all of God’s people. To accept the gift individuals must confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that Jesus Christ is the Lord - this act qualifies them to be called children of God and it books them a spot in heaven to share God’s inheritance with Jesus Christ. As a show of appreciation of the free gift the children of God align themselves with God’s mission to reconcile with humanity by surrendering their lives as a living sacrifice for God  Livi

LIFE LESSON: Submit your life to HIS plans

WHAT RELIGION TAUGHT ME I was taught that if I want my plans to succeed I should give them to the Lord. This means I should initiate my plans in my own strength and then give them to the Lord for his blessings. WHAT THE BIBLE TAUGHT ME. From experience making my own plans then seeking him afterwards has not worked for me. The story of the Bible is: God has a plan for this world and he wants to use his children to fulfill that plan. What this means to me is I have to fit into his plans and not the other way around. Jeremiah 29:11 Reads for I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you and not to harm you . So  if he knows the plans he has for me, what am I doing making my own plans outside of him?  I believe  what the Bible is teaching me with this scripture is to first seek his plans for my life. Jeremiah 5:11 tells us God knew and set us apart for good works before were we were even born, so it makes sense for me to seek my plans through the creator who has already made plans f

Knowledge trumps sensuality

I used to say "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual" to explain why I left my denominational church religous teachings. I thought I was my own god and could access the spiritual realm on my own. But the truth is, the spiritual realm is invisible and can't be perceived with human senses. My human senses are spiritually blind, therefore believing I'm my own god is the blind leading the blind. When I rely on my human senses to perceive the spiritual realm, I won't get to true knowledge of truth. Instead I open myself up to being influenced spiritual domains that want to deceive me. They offer me the good life on earth, but they lead me astray in the spiritual realm. I unknowingly fulfill their agendas, which they don't make known upfront. That's why I chose the Kingdom of God as my gateway into the spiritual realm. The Kingdom of God's agenda is clear: to guarantee that I spend eternity with the Creator and to influence others towards the Kingdom by m
