Living in the Flow of the “River of Life”

………………………………..

You  will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing…

Isaiah 55:12

Isn’t that some wonderful imagery described in that scripture?!  I wanna live like that…plugged into the River of Life!  Don’t you?  Today I want to talk about how we can align ourselves  with the “River of Living Waters” or the ultimate “flow” in life.  It’s really the only option if we want to experience the optimal life, chocked full of creative expression, joy, energy, health, and prosperity. 

In my experience, you form a winning combination in life when Spirit, mind and actions are brought into agreement and surrender to God.  Then you access tremendous power and flow to move you towards your vision.  In this state of union with God, you will have a sense of purpose, peace, and presence of mind which will open you to inspiration from the higher realms.  The mind must open and invite (Holy) Spirit in, and then we must actively walk in agreement with the inspiration of the Spirit, including the Divine Spiritual laws.  If we are not living according to the Spiritual Law of Love, we cannot be fully blessed.

1. Coming back into spiritual alignment with God:

To come into alignment spiritually with God under Jesus Christ, you must receive the  Holy Spirit and be born again from above.  How do you become reconnected to God?  To save time, I have copied the list of steps from Emerald City Bible Fellowship, a Christian fellowship in the Seattle area, plus added a little bit of my own words.  I would actually word things a little differently myself, but I think this will do for now.  If you find anything offensive below, please seek further clarity:

1. Admit that you have rebelled by not following God’s perfect law (Romans 3:23; I John 1:9).

2. Believe that Jesus is God’s only son, and that his death and resurrection is the only possible payment for your rebellion (John 3:16; Romans 3:23-26).

3. Ask Jesus to take the penalty for your rebellious actions (sins) so that you can be declared right with God (Romans 10:9; John 1:12).

4. Commit to place God first in your life by studying and obeying God’s truth in the Holy Bible (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).

In order to have a right relationship with God, pray through the steps above and then commit yourself to grow in your new spiritual life in Christ by daily talking to God in prayer, meditating, and reading the Bible and other spiritual truths based on Christ’s teachings.

2. Bringing your mind into alignment

Allowing the refreshing presence and light of God to re-enter your mind will give you deep peace and open up your channels to further revelations and inspiration from the Spirit.

This is a place of surrendering to the reality of God, where the lower mind has been quieted and you are in communion with God.  Once you have done step one above, it will be easier to allow step 2 to happen.  In the mind and in our thoughts is where creation and manifestation begins for us on earth. As you allow the inspirations of heaven and Christ’s way of thinking to infiltrate your mind, you will be setting the stage for the marvelous manifestation of the Kingdom of God in your life and in the world.  You will receive a vision for what you can personally aim towards in your life.

3. Bringing your Actions into alignment.

This is about coming to actually live and walk out the spiritual way of life.  You live according to Love and the Divine Spiritual Law.  You begin to take action steps on the vision(s) Spirit has placed in your heart and mind.  Your bring all of yourself into alignment with God, including what you do with your body, your time, etc.  Your time schedule works for God’s purpose; what you eat works toward that end; You exercise to enableyour body to flow with optimal energy for the purpose.  And the list goes on.

Let’s conclude by acknowledging that the time for change, awakening, and walking in purpose is now.  We cannot know our purpose without knowing who we are–spiritual beings walking the earth.  And we cannot know who we are without aligning ourselves with God again, since we were the ones who walked away.

Wishing you Peace and Joy on your Journey!

I was looking at my girls the other day, and kind of wondering why their teachers had reported that they seemed to lack confidence in the classroom setting.  It occurred to me that a good remedy for their lack of confidence would be to give them more positive re-reinforcement through the words I speak to them at home.  When I actually thought about it, I realized I was probably correcting and reprimanding them a lot more than I was speaking encouragement and uplifting phrases to them.   I wonder how many others do that? I decided I would work at looking for the good and telling them at least three positive things about themselves each day.

A Course in Miracles, a well known text that espouses spiritual truths, speaks about the need for us to “defend the truth“, and to defend the innocence of our brothers and sisters,  since there is actually a subconscious tendency within ourselves and creation to do the opposite as a result of mankind’s fall from grace.”  The truth according to the Holy Scriptures is  that God is Love and His glory is everywhere present (The whole earth is full with His glory, Isaiah 6:3).  We simply need to acknowledge the light of God everywhere to become more aware of it; instead of blocking it by looking for the “bad” in others.   And the more we acknowledge the presence of good and Light, the more we experience and become aware of God.

It’s easy, and almost natural in this world because of it’s fallen state to be critical of someone and look for the worst.   But this way of looking at things actually blocks us from seeing the Light of God…and we do want to look for the Light of God in creation because it’s through our personal awareness of the presence of God that we will increase our peace, power, and true prosperity.

If you’re not already an expert at looking for the good and speaking Love and upliftment to others, why don’t you try this today!?  It will not only benefit the one you are speaking to, but it will benefit you as well!

Until next time…peace.

Today I invite you to live life in the “Sonshine”!  Even when life is crazy and depressing here on earth, the true Son is shining in full brilliance above the clouds.  The true Son of course being the spiritual Son, Christ, who must be awakened and realized inside each of us.  You can live life in the peace and the radiance of the Son by living your life inside of Christ and his inspiration, Love and Light.  Just ask Jesus Christ, Son of God, to come into your heart and surrender your life to him.  If you receive a spiritual rebirth and awakening, then you can be in the “Son” no matter what kind of weather seems to be going on around you!
