| Break Out of the Rut Part 2 |
| 2008-07-22 05:00:40 |
Knowledge alone is not enough to break you out of the rut of ineffective daily structure or of harmful habits. Many people fill themselves with knowledge from a wide variety of self-help guides, but still fail in implementing the majority of the good knowledge that they've learned. For breaking out of the rut of the typically daily habits that create an ineffective life, consistency is the key. In both the religious and secular realms, people often quote, "The truth will set you free." Yes, it can, but the all important element to truth setting you free which Jesus revealed in the same conversation is rarely mentioned. In that conversation, Jesus said, "If you remain constant...

| Links from Breast Cancer, Other Cancers, to Parabens in Cosmetics |
| 2008-07-18 05:00:00 |
Changing from lotions to natural oils is an easy and inexpensive way to begin reducing toxin levels.
Most lotions contain harmful toxic substances called parabens. Parabens have been linked to various cancers as well as a wide variety of women's health problems due to the hormone imbalances they cause. From my studies, countless people have experienced reduction or healing of various ailments and diseases by the elimination of such toxin intake. It is no longer believed that the main source of our toxin intake is through ingestion, or what we eat, but from toxin absorption through the skin....

| Does God Want to Heal Me? |
| 2008-07-16 14:46:38 |
The emotions created by a lack of healing often cause people to ask this question. Yet God even calls Himself by a healing name. God uses many different names throughout Scripture to describe Himself and assist us in understanding His characteristics. In Exodus 15:26, God says, "I am Yahovah Rapha'," which is translated in English, "I am the Lord who heals you." A direct translation is the "Self-Existent or Eternal One who cures, heals as a physician, repairs, thoroughly makes whole." To help us understand Him clearly, God identifies Himself as the One who thoroughly heals us. His desire is that our healing is not solely physical, but in every aspect of our lives. [This post is a continuation of a healing discussion the day prior called, "Why Doesn't God Heal Me?" You will want to read th...

| Why Doesn’t God Heal Me? |
| 2008-07-15 20:44:19 |
Since the majority of Jesus' 3 year ministry consisted of healing people's physical ailments, delivering from demonic forces and preaching, it is a continual question in this day, where is healing now? Scripture expresses that Jesus' life revealed the will of God for us. Since His ministry on earth consisted of bringing restoration to people's lives physically, emotionally, and spiritually, it would naturally follow that this is still God's desire. In this post, I would you to share with you one of the most phenomenal healings I've ever read and the principles of healing by which this great man of faith lived....

| When to Buy Organic Food |
| 2008-07-11 17:14:35 |
When it comes to improving one's health by eliminating toxins from your diet or environment, most people just start with what they can afford. The most important point is that you start. Usually it is not in most people's budget to buy all organic foods. Nor can every food type your are interested in be readily found in organic form at your local grocery. I came across this list last year as to which produce is most important to buy organic, though I didn't reference the source. If your budget limits you to what you can buy organic, here is a list of which is most important produce to choose in organic form....

| Is Poverty Ever From God? |
| 2008-07-10 17:53:15 |
In most realms of religion, there seems to be a prevalent concept that poverty makes a person more pious. The added deduction from this concept is that God sends poverty on His people to teach them or purify them. There are several possible reasons for the development of this line of thought...However, Scripture actually says that God works to bring good out of evil done to us (Gen. 50:20; Deut. 23:5; Rom. 8:28)...God's own words express that poverty is destructive to people, a trait contrary to God's nature....

| Determine Your Destiny |
| 2008-07-09 15:25:24 |
We all want to achieve the purpose(s) for our existence, but how do we overcome the apparent roadblocks? It is important to have a sense of destiny, of purpose for your life. For this post, we are assuming you already have your destiny in view. If you were to rate yourself between 1 and 10, how effective do you feel that you are in accomplishing the actions and goals necessary for fulfilling your destiny? Even when we have a clear destiny in mind, most of us feel that there are numerous roadblocks to either fulfilling your destiny at all or fulfilling it as effectively as you envision.
My spouse and I have been listening to a series...The man teaching the series has put out a new book on achieving your destiny, called, "8 Steps to Create the Life You Want." In describing his book, he explains an 8 step process to achieving your destiny and how you can evaluate the roadblocks to your destiny by seeing where you are at in this 8 step process.
Here are the 8 Steps:...

| Substituting Honey and Maple Syrup for White Sugar |
| 2008-07-03 17:29:44 |
There are countless ways to improve one's health, but using natural sugar substitutions is one small piece in the mosaic that is easy to start. In the U.S., the average American consumes 170 pounds of sugar per year, compared to only 10 pounds per year 200 years ago (J. Rubin, Maker's Diet, pg. 136). Everyone I know admits his or her need to cut back on sugar. One easy way is to use honey or maple syrup wherever you would use spoons of sugar daily-in coffee, tea, on toast or bagels (instead of jam), in oatmeal, etc. Without going into the studies, in general, popular artificial sweeteners are worse for you than white sugar and linked to numerous health hazards, so avoid them completely.
Honey is an easy substitution over white sugar in many cooking recipes,...

| The Power of Your Words–Is it a Reality? |
| 2008-07-02 17:44:10 |
Many people still struggle over whether or not there is truth in the concept of the Power of Your Words. If you have Googled the Law of Attraction recently, you will find scores of people in the secular realm who say that they were bankrupt and had lost everything only to have their lives restored by following the principles of this philosophy. It is based on a quote by Jesus, yet the spiritual and natural laws of positive words are so strong that putting it into practice has even turned around the lives of people who do not seek close association with God....

| Recognizing Controlling People |
| 2008-07-01 17:10:13 |
How do we recognize controlling people to stop the infringement of personal boundaries? People with compliant personalities ( basically a personality that feels guilty for standing up for itself) are often "run over" in life by people with controlling personalities. Often the compliant person doesn't even realize why he, or she, struggles with so much guilt and resentment, guilt for not wanting to do what the controller says and resentment for giving in and doing what is against his own conscience or goals. A compliant person must learn to deal with his or her own weaknesses and the lack of determination to stand up for his boundaries; he must determine to be true to the person that he is and how he wants to live his life, making his own decisions and tak...

| In God’s Mercy or At His Mercy? |
| 2008-06-27 17:49:24 |
Many of us have been raised to feel that we are "at" God's mercy, that God is an uncompassionate authority figure who rules over our lives at a distance, yet He is unmoved by the severity of our situations and we are forced to feel grateful if He acts in our behalf. After research, I discovered that God's mercy is clearly governed by His overwhelming love and concern for us. The first passages I came across were of people in crises....

| Sleep Disruption and Re-Setting Your Biological Clock |
| 2008-06-26 17:41:23 |
I read a fascinating article last month by Dr. Joseph Mercola on sleep disruption. He described how our bodies were designed for dusk to dawn sleep and that the development of electric lights has thrown off our biological clocks, causing many people to live in a state of permanent jet lag. He then gives several tips on re-setting your biological clock for effective sleep patterns. These tips not only address the times we choose to sleep but various light sources that affect us which we may not normally think of.
Here is a quote from Dr. Mercola's newsletter on permanent jetlag. A link to the full article is at the end of the post:...

| Characteristics of Father God |
| 2008-06-25 20:28:00 |
The characteristics of Father God are deeply moving once one begins to peruse them in their full scope. Some of God's fatherly traits are like those of a good earthly father; others, though similar, go far beyond an earthly father's abilities. Whether you have had mainly negative experiences with your earthly father, or if you had positive paternal experiences as a child, these traits of Father God will be very healing, emotional, and fulfilling to your mind and spirit....

| Achieving Deep Sleep |
| 2008-06-12 15:45:11 |
Most people admit to being tired and exhausted the majority of the time. Many suffer from restless sleep for a variety of reasons and would do anything for a good night's sleep! I recently read an article that said most Americans actually exist in a continual state of jet-lag due to throwing off their internal clocks by not making a habit of a dusk to dawn sleep pattern. The article below quoted in Dr. Mercola's newsletter says that "Americans now get about 25 percent less sleep than they did a century ago." In addition to health problems such as weight gain, depression, high blood sugar, increased cancer risk, and brain damage, it said "an estimated 71,000 people are injured in fall-asleep crashes each year." In this quote there are 10 steps for achievin...

| Does Love Have to be Earned? |
| 2008-06-10 11:33:23 |
A reader inquired, "Does Love Have to be Earned?" Love that is earned in human relationship is actually more stable. It may begin as emotional love or acquaintance or friendship and develop into a stable, lasting love as your attitudes and behavior show over time that you can be trusted to be a loving person through the variety of life's circumstances... God's love operates on a much different basis than human love,...

There are many ways one can define or recognize the harmful behavior of others in your life, or even behavior of your own that is harmful to others or yourself, but the easiest way is to evaluate the results. A person who truly loves you will not consistently live a lifestyle that brings harmful results in your life. Let's take a look at how to evaluate behavior by the results....

To overcome a fear of God's rejection, one needs a concrete decision to replace feelings with truth. Negative feelings about God most often stem from harmful relationships with authority figures in one's past, such as parents, or from improper religious education during childhood. It will take consistent effort since usually you are trying to correct decades of negative thought patterns....

| Free from Lack |
| 2008-05-20 16:22:16 |
It is astounding to realize how much lack in one's life can be created by a deficiency in emotional and spiritual maturity. If you survey your life and see lack or need in several areas, it may be worth your while to see if a lack of maturity in dealing with your life's circumstances is the cause. For example, a person who lacks the maturity to stick with a job will not receive advancements in that career. A person who lack's maturity hinders his interpersonal relationships; he keeps himself from developing effective conflict resolution as well as healthy relational skills....

The week of this post there have been 2 major world tragedies, a cyclone in Burma and an earthquake in China. When tragedies occur, especially ones such as these that hit with such severity, there are always people who question if God is the source and others who insist on it. Though there could be a great deal of theological or doctrinal discussion on this point, I wanted to encourage you today with a main spiritual principle about the heart of God from this verse....
