Building for Eternity !

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men."
- Colossians 3:23 (NASB).

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife, enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter.

"This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized it, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It's the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT

When you say Christ is with me, we begin to bear the fruit of the holy Spirit as a result of his presence in us.

This fruit is the nature or character of Jesus Christ reproduced in us, and love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness, temperance, faith--the character traits of Christ begins to find expression through our lives.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit in us should be the evidence of the new birth.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit will arise from the unconscious part of us. We do not put them on. They are produced by the Holy Spirit. They rise up from within, seeking expression through us to the world. Joy bubbles up. Love is shed abroad in our hearts. Peace flows like a river. These are the fruit of the Spirit, expressions of the personality or the character of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The new Christians overflows with the fruit of the Spirit; then, the church starts informing him that he cannot love everyone, he cannot have joy, he cannot have peace. He cannot express the wonders of the Lord except in a certain way.

That is what happened to me, and, ever since my conversion, I have been trying to "get my head on straight" so I could love all of God's children. I still struggle to get my thoughts straight, allowing the love of God to flow through my life. Thus, the fruit of the Spirit will be expressed to the world through us unless somebody has given us wrong teaching.

What we have to do “Truly empty our cup “our mind” not even with single drop of ours” ask Jesus to fill the cup till it over flows, ask Jesus from the heart so pure of it, for sure he will fill you with the Holy Spirit who will give you all you need and guide you in the godly way “ for only those who live the Christ life” . But again if you start to fill your cup “your mind” with your own thoughts you will feel you are losing the energy which was given by god and you will get disturbed by people around you. Never try to fill your cup by yourself. Always keep your cup filled by the purest form of energy from true Holy Spirit, for sure people around you will feel the True Christian Spirit within you.

Baptizing with Holy Spirit !

In the new birth, as we repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Christ
is formed in us. On real baptism Holy Spirit should imparts the life of Christ to us. So the first thing that happens in our Christian experience is that Christ is formed in us.
Jesus Christ becomes incarnate within us. The Holy Spirit superimposes the nature of Jesus Christ, the divine nature, upon our nature, the human nature, and now our
Desires, our wishes, our instincts begin to be "Christ-ionized," because they are no
Longer only the expression of the nature of man, but they are permeated by the
nature of God and begin to find expression through the personality, the person, of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is why we sometimes see cataclysmic conversions. Sinners living completely apart from God receive the Lord Jesus Christ, and their lives are completely transformed. They may have been alcoholics or drug addicts. They may have been bound by all manner of sin; however, when they receive the Lord Jesus Christ (Holy Spirit), when Christ comes in, every desire, every impulse seemingly is Sanctified and their lives are completely transformed.
The desires that previously dominated their lives no longer have influence or control over them.
On the other hand, there are those who are converted but seem to have more of a struggle to overcome certain desires or certain temptations. However, the important thing is that Jesus Christ is imparted to us by the Holy Spirit. This is the mystery of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul said that this mystery was hidden from the foundation of the world until God revealed it unto him: Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gen-tiles; which is Christ in You, the hope of glory (Col. 1:26-27).
The mystery of the Gospel is Christ in you, the hope of glory. This was the mystery. This was the revelation that God gave to the Apostle: the transforming power of Christian experience is derived from the impartation of Jesus Christ to the believer. The nature of Jesus Christ, even Christ Himself, is in us.
Jesus prayed to the Father for Him to effect this experience: That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: ...that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one (John 17:21-23).

And again, Jesus promised that when He sent them another comforter, they would know that He was abiding in them: At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and
ye in me, and I in you (John 14:20).
Probably the most powerful statement in the scriptures concerning this impartation of Christ is that of Paul himself, when he relates his experience in
Christ to the Galatians: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ lived in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave himself for me (Gal. 2:20).

Train your brain !

Your mind(So called brain) is a direct link to your subconscious mind, if your mind is focused on your goals and is trained to achieve those goals then your subconscious mind will also be focused on these goals and will attract the situations and opportunities for you to achieve the success you want.


Think of it this way, you're riding in a car driven by your personal driver and everytime your driver asks you where you want to go you simply say: "I don't know. Wherever you want to go is fine with me." Then when your driver takes you to the place of his choice you complain and say: "I don't want to be here, take me somewhere else." And again you say you don't know where you want to go.



How You Can Train Your Mind

Meditation is one of the best ways to relax and calm your mind while training it to focus better. When you meditate you actually start to clear the clutter that dominates your mind. Another step that can follow is to train the mind by working with other techniques that get you focused on your goals. You can work with affirmations, visualization, get the mind to see possibilities instead of limitations, energize your mind and body by brining in the feeling of accomplishing your goals.



How to start with meditation ?

A simple exercise. Take a red rose smell the rose fell the pleasant refreshing fragrance , Just start to concentrate over the swirl of the rose , how each and every single petal is formed, feel its gentleness and the mood it creates. Only concentrate on the rose, at first it will be very difficult not even for 10 minutes you can control your brain wandering around bringing in different thoughts, never give up! just concentrate on the rose, and do it daily until you can concentrate up to an hour at least.
When you can say you can concentrate more than a hour on a particular object here you are! You have started to control your sub-conscious mind through your brain.
From now whatever you want in life just concentrate and focus on that desire and goal, you can achieve with your subconscious mind.

If you strongly believe in god the Holy Spirit, I would rather say, holy spirit who is within your sub-conscious mind can now be your driver. A driver who can take you to any place’s in this universe irrespective of boundaries and distance. Your wish will be his command, only when you can tell him where you would like to go in this universe.

Extract from Science of Getting Rich !

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless
substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. Otherwise he cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive
in spirit.

A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the minds of individualswith the intelligence of substance, so that a person's thoughts are received by the formless.

A person can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him.

Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude.

This is the process by which the impression is given to the formless and the creative forces set in motion.

The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the person who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.

In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a person must be in action in a way that causes him to more than fill his present place. He must keep in mind the purpose to get rich through realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He must give to every person a use value in excess of the cash
value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life, and he must hold the advancingthought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich, and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose,
the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

The above post was shared with me - by my loving visionary brother Mr.Andrews!

Holy Sprit over the formless matter of the physical world !

When we look around us, it is very easy to take for granted a created and material universe. Anybody who contemplates the existence of God, even the atheists, must ask himself or herself,

where did the material universe come from ?

Is there a answer from Metaphysics, Quantum Physics or from any scientific discovery? - NO - and why ?

The material world is temporary and physical, while the spiritual world is eternal and invisible to the material.

In the beginning, when God created the universe, the Spirit of God was present, over the formless matter of the physical world (Genesis 1:2).

The physical world, according to scripture, derives its being from the invisible spiritual realms of God presence (Hebrews 11:3)

For those focused on a physical and material world, the concept of spiritual world is alien.

However, even the visual and physical world, which we comprehend, is only partially visible, limited by the capacity our senses, our eyes, only see a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, we cannot see ultraviolet light, infrared light or even radio waves, yet they all exist in the physical world. Though we can detect them through equipment, our physical senses design does not comprehend them.



In the same way, we cannot comprehend aspects of the physical world; we are not able to comprehend the spiritual world.

The spiritual realms are alien to the physical and carnal (Hosea 9:7).


But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I Corinthians 2:14

Power of Subconscious Mind !



Do you believe it or not! Subconscious mind can kill you instantly by stopping your heart's function.

That’s why martial art teaches the techniques to kill a person by hitting him in special places from where the messages are sent to sub-conscious mind directly, as a response your subconscious mind will paralyze that particular portion of your body or it can stop your heart !!! OOPS !! You are dead !!!

Imagine! If you can control the conscious mind of a person not through martial arts but through the power of your subconscious mind, then you are the owner of his body. That’s what for decade’s physiologist and doctors are researching to attain but we have a long way to go. But for sure one day we are going to achieve it.

The power of subconscious mind is beyond imagination!

How to put them both together?

There is a simple exercise that you can do in order to make the difference between the conscious and unconscious mind clear. I want you now to change your breathing rate to either faster or slower, what you are doing now is using your conscious mind to breath. Now stop controlling your breath and let it flow naturally. When you forget about this exercise, you will notice how your subconscious mind returns your breathing rate back to normal, contrary to when you had your conscious mind control the process.

Subconcious mind controlls your body,your brain and your heart to keeps you alive 24/7

What is the conscious mind ?

The conscious mind is the part of your mind that is responsible for logic and reasoning. When I ask you about the sum of three and four, it's your conscious mind that you use to get the addition done. When you decide to take any voluntary action like moving your hand or leg, it is done by the conscious mind. So, whenever you are aware of the thing you're doing or want to do, it's done with your conscious mind; whenever there's logic or reasoning to be done, you use your conscious mind.

The conscious mind includes everything that is inside of our awareness. This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about in a rational way.

The conscious mind includes such things as the sensations, perceptions, memories, feeling and fantasies inside of our current awareness. Closely allied with the conscious mind is the preconscious, which includes the things that we are not thinking of at the moment but which we can easily draw into conscious awareness.

The Subconscious mind uses the conscious mind to accomplish its task. The subconscious mind can speak through conscious mind. Your charecter is exposed through our subconscious mind's output through our conscious mind.

What is Subconscious Mind ?

It's important to first understand that the brain and the mind are not the same, as many people believe.

Subconscious mind is "spiritual" in nature and the brain is physical in nature.

The brain is the physical muscle that the Subconscious mind utilizes and works through to carry out a portion of it's functions.

Since the Subconscious is spiritual in nature, it must have physical components "BRAIN" to carry out the tasks it needs to accomplish in the physical world. That is where the brain comes in to the picture. Here Brain is called as "Conscious Mind".

The subconscious mind makes no determination or judgment concerning the validity of the data or information it receives. It is designed as the storage facility to store whatever data is given to it which can be accessed for later use and accepts as fact whatever the conscious mind sends to it. In other words unlike the conscious mind which can analyze and make a determination or judgment concerning if the data it analyzes has any meaning or truth to it, the subconscious mind has no logical or rational reasoning capability whatsoever.

To better understand the process, it can best be explained like this. A thought is formed. It is then analyzed by the conscious mind which ignites an electro chemical process within the brain. Neuro pathways are opened as the data processes through the brain. As the data travels, additional cells throughout the brain are imprinted with the data being processed. The conscious mind then attaches emotion to the thought based on it's "perceived" interpretation of the data, which increases the frequency (vibration) of the thought and a belief is established and stored in the subconscious mind as truth. (or reality) This data, or perceived truth can then be accessed and utilized in the future by the conscious mind to support or discredit future data received by the conscious mind.


Unlike your brain and body, the subconscious mind never sleeps or never rests. It is working 24 hours per day 7 days a week, and constantly absorbing data, creating and sending out vibrational frequencies based on the information it has been given, through the conscious mind. These vibrational frequencies (energy) are then matched with harmonious vibrations in the universe, and are then manifest into the physical and become what you see in your outside physical world and perceive as reality.
