How God solved my intellectual problem last night

[jennifer_bloom]

During the whole book writing process, I kept feeling trapped, like my knowledge and wisdom was limited by a ceiling I could not move or push past, and this issue had been in my life for years before too, where it was like there was an invisible stumbling block that was preventing me from progressing further in my goals and last night I found the solution:

God told me in my dream, that if I wanted God to help me accomplish my goals, I would have to help other people accomplish their goals and if I wanted God to allow me success, I would have to allow even those I hate and dislike, to have their success. That is, if they work for it, and if God had forgiven them, then they should have to the right to succeed. I realized God had failed to help me achieve my dreams, because I had failed to help others achieve their dreams.

In the past, I would rejoice when my enemies failed at the purposes they pursued and if they achieved something, I would pray against their achievement. The main reason being, I did not want them to be happy after they had slandered me. But God was telling me in my dream, I have to allow others their happiness, if I want God to allow me, my happiness. And not only would I have to allow it, but I would have to actively participate in aiding their progress when they tried to achieve their goals.

We need to start having compassion and respect towards other living things.
This is veey interesting because just today my mom insisted on bringing me to volunteer at a homeless gathering to feed, bathe, het haircuts, clothes, blankets, accessories.
I was aggravated to begin with of course, because in my mind I thought for a moment,
"Why would I want to go and volunteer work helping homeless people?"
Immediately I felt guilty.
I felt God in my soul and my heart shaking his head.
I then heard a voice in my head say,
"Why would you be so aggravated as to help others?"
I realize how selfish and blind I was being.
We never know what hearts we may touch in this test and journey we call life.
Each time the sun sets it could be our last, the sun set never last long.
Most of the time we don't even notice it and take it for granted, just like life.
Then, we won't notice it's over until it's too late.

God is a God of mercy and mercy is crucial because we don't know the whole story behind why people act the way they do. Look at Cain for instance. He killled his brother because he was jealous but also because of the mistakes of his parents. God is slow to anger because He knows the whole story.

That your encounter is 100 percent genuine because only God can give a counsel that perfect.

38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

So many people are busy trying to figure out who their neighbor is, that they forget that Jesus told people to love their enemies also.

Glad you had that breakthrough.

That’s a good psychological experience you had. And a great insight. Keep the credit, don’t give it to a mythical being.

what’s the book about?

[jennifer_bloom]

I have over 50 book ideas and I’m not sure which ones will get published

[OddBeMe]

Few examples? Elevator pitch?

[jennifer_bloom]

One of my ideas is on 24 common moral errors Christians make, another one is on common dangers people expose themselves too without realizing it

[OddBeMe]

I like the latter. The formal could get preachy. But that might sell better.

[jennifer_bloom]

I think it could as well - it’s one of many ideas

Looks, good doesn't talk to us... when your pastor say , O God spoke to me... ask him what did he say... might be a demon whose talking to you.. God shows you the way, and there are 3... good/bad/or inore it... he speaks in derables...

Why do you need God to tell you to care about and be nice to other people? Religious folks always act like they invented morality and kindness.
