Manipulating

      Destiny

 

 

As human beings we manipulate destiny by the choices we make in our daily lives.

 

In Genesis, Chapter 1, God referred to Himself as being multi-dimensional (Holy Trinity). He said, “Let ‘US’ create man in ‘OUR’ image”. This was the "spirit-man”. The “physical-man” was formed later in Chapter 2.

 

As "spirit-man” the choices we make are creative in nature. We express ourselves as God fashioned us to do. We create stuff out of the nothingness of pure thought.

 

When "spirit-man” dictates a need for activity, then the very things we think and speak, become our reality. Our very existence is multi-dimensional, i.e. parallel realities. One simple thought may program where and how we reside in the next moment of time. Thus without direct interaction in and through the Holy Spirit, our plans will go awry.

 

The gift of Spiritual Discernment must test the relevancy of things we bring into our lives—like, mates, careers, homes, cars, etc. We must read His Word, and study the words of the world around us in order to be knowledgeable. The Bible says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Holy Spirit will, "...teach us all things", tutoring according to our needs.

 

Safety and fulfillment are a small part of this deeded information, but absolutely vital to the continuity of our existence. We need to have a good grasp of our environment in order to make quality decisions. Our manifest destiny remains a changeable quality, subject to the evolutionary whims of nature herself. The Bible tells us about the man who built his house on the sand, and another man who build his house on the rock.

The result of those efforts is entirely predictable in light of the time of storm.

 

As we absorb the impact of spiritual, mental, physical, and environmental bombardment, our choices can be based only on how much we've allowed ourselves to be educated. WHO are we; WHAT are we predestined (called) to do; WHY are we here; WHERE we are going; WHEN will it all take place?

We continue to seek the Divine.

 

Our earthly environment is a generic composition of everything that’s happened since the “Big Bang”. When God created the Earth, He said it was “GOOD”! Even though we might like to think otherwise, this includes: earthquakes, tsunami, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, drought, lightning, tidal currents, and meteors—

the whole cosmic bag of surprises.

 

For us to really enjoy His ‘Good Stuff’, we need to be tuned-in enough to Him, to continually be enlightened.

This way we can create our stuff intelligently.

 

Thus our spiritual environment is created as a result of what we KNOW, then what we DO. The best way to know anything about what it takes to make it all work is to peruse the operations manual: The Holy Bible. This search of the scriptures is what constitutes the adventure that breeds the important differences in our lives. Especially, in the lives that immediately surround us--our family and friends.
