Moving On

A dream is your creative outlook for your life in the future. You must break out of your current personal realm of security and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
Spiritual outlook for the future is a movement and not being stagnant.
If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your relaxing sphere, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.
We tend to be held back from our goals by the simplicity of our own dwelling sectors of life...but just how comfortable are we? Wouldn't we be more content living in our dreams?
My experience is that you cannot have everything you want but you can achieve anything you really want, you just need to decide what it is and then plan your exit from the comfort vicinity.
If you do not step out of your comfort area and face your fears, the number of situations that make you uncomfortable will keep growing.
If you're in a pleasurable place, afraid to venture out, remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
Christ coming down from Heaven was a venture.
Christ could have stayed with His Father in that heavenly abode, but in obedience to His Father, and His heart for mankind he left that Spiritual satisfying domain.
What really did Christ think?
The point is to stop letting fear make your decisions, and start making them yourself. It will take some time to get used to this new way of thinking, but before long you'll automatically begin questioning your fear and stop letting it control you. Once that happens, there is no telling the levels of success and happiness you can reach!
Another reason is that people are not ready for change in their lives. They would prefer to stay where they are in life and just hope that something grand comes their way in the very near future. If that sounds like you then you are in for a unknown wait. Life does not wait for anyone, but spiritually you need to increase and grow and move on.

Being successful in life will require you to make some adjustments, permanent changes, and having the ability to remain steadfast and persistent while stepping out of your comfort zone or the box. Once you have achieved all of those key areas in your life while on your journey of success.
Children of Israel desired to go back to captivity than using faith and desiring God’s will.
Again, the way to shift through a fear is to feel the fear and take action anyway. To expand past the comfort state, one is to come to a place of acceptance that the anxiety is just a natural stage kind of a oh this is here and it is ok and then shift through it by taking action in faith and love even if the fear and anxiety are there. For fear and anxiety are illusions of ego consciousness. Fear is free from ever being where love is present. Meditation, being centered within in continued faith will ease this anxiety to eventually you will see there was nothing to fear. We create conflict when we are scared to grow and change.
Why are minds scared to change? Because we often feel that we are unable to be strong enough to cope with greater responsibility of which we really are that is love. We believe in illusions such as that we are low in self-esteem and self-love and therefore punish our souls because we feel we are unworthy. The universal truth is that we are scared to change because we believe we are unworthy of Love. We think, "Who am I to be more spiritual?"
Nehemiah’s story, which is recorded for us in the Old Testament, is one of the great epochs of Christian history. Not only is Nehemiah’s story a manual on leadership, organization, and how to accomplish goals, it shows us what God can do through a man whose heart is totally and completely His.
Yet one fateful day, some Jewish friends of Nehemiah returned from a jaunt to Jerusalem. And he asked them a question that ended up changing his life: “How is it with the people of Jerusalem?” And they said, “Nehemiah, it is not good. The walls are down, the gates are burned with fire, and the people are living in shame and disgrace.”


When Nehemiah heard this, it was like a shot to the solar plexus. It buckled him. It swept him off his feet and onto his knees! And he began to cry out to God… but not for just a moment. For four months he prayed until God showed him what to do!
Nehemiah refused to ignore what God was doing in his heart…which was to go back to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall. He could have continued to live in luxury in Persia, but Nehemiah’s heart was a thousand miles away…in Jerusalem. His heart was the heart of God.
Nehemiah by going back had to decide to change his way and rebuild what was never finished, by the original ways it was never completed.
Living now and moving forward.
A spiritual growth depends on moving and growing farther than you were before.
You can never increase or continue on, if you stay where you always have been.
Letting go does not mean giving up or losing your way... it means “moving on”. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. Starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. We feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. But as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. We are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. It means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."
"Luke 2:52" - Even Jesus increased in wisdom and knowledge, by increasing means going farther than you were before.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a mental, emotional, and spiritual process of letting go of resentment, indignation, or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference, or mistake. It can also mean ceasing to demand punishment or restitution for transgressions, real or imagined. Although forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender, it is sometimes necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, or restitution; this can often open the way for the person who perceives to be wronged to feel empowered to forgive.

Proving one wrong

Proving one wrong is that the way to be right?
Demand will get you nowhere.
Forcing love is not true love.
The best defense of the scriptures is letting the truth run its course to be the offense.
Truth will never need to be defended, just enlightened.
Being willing and open, is the first step to peace.
Christ did not teach criticism, He assisted and guided.
God will set in order for all judgments to be under His decision and final word.
Christ did not come to judge, he came to guide and to be a negotiator.

Freedom Poem

It is great to have the freedom of love, releasing and reaching like wings of a dove. Damming up the expressions deep within, is like a pure running river you never take in. The enjoyment of life we long to abide, like the feelings we have deep inside. By pressing through life as busy it may, with you by my side I get through each day. No one can fill that place with you I will abide; I can’t hide the feelings deep down inside. I hope to be with you each and every day, it brings peace to my soul and it always will stay. My goal is not to bother or push one around, my heart is just pumping can you hear the sound. So these words I have written to you I hope you believe, with my love flowing through my desire is for you to receive.
