The Desire of the Inner Being

The world is filled with hungry souls who famish in the very presence of the bread of life; men die searching for the very God who lives within them. Men seek for the treasures of the kingdom with yearning hearts and weary feet when they are all within the immediate grasp of living faith. (Urantiabook, Teachings of Jesus, 159:3.8).

 Well, nice text anyway and I think so true. Even the greatest atheists feel lost in this large and risky world. And of course you can cling to a partner, the kids, work, fanatical hobbies and shout very loudly that you are happy and don't need anything else, and certainly no faith. But I don't believe them, especially when I read this. Could You elaborate on this, please?

 We look into man's mind, into his heart, into his inner being. And how true is what Christ said. How could it be otherwise? He was closely associated with His God in His earthly life, so except in the Garden of  Gethsemane, in His great trial, He was never lonely. He was with God day and night.

 And now the human being. Certainly the Western man, and certainly the unbelieving Western man. What a sadness, you might say. Clinging to matter, the body, holidays, reason. But it’s not sad. We in the spirit find it endearing. For the unbelieving man denies his deepest desire to return to the Father-Mother God, to no longer be lonely. But he has sweeped the carpet under the rug of his conceit. Touching.

 But let's not talk about the unbelieving man, there are already blogs dedicated to this subject. Let's talk about man longing for God.

 Happy man who longs for God and feels this with all his being. This longing is a guarantee of future success, and the proof of the existence of God. Life-Giving Principle, Key to Happiness, Comfort in Anxious Days, Only True Pure and Loving Presence in man. So close, so present, so waiting for man who looks   nose, who searches in his inner self and not in outer religions or pastors and gurus. Blessed is the man who knows God within him, who consciously listens to The Silent Voice within. Blessed is the man who is no longer lonely, because he knows God to dwell in his heart. And of course also blessed are all other people, one day they will find out the Great Truth, if not in earthly life, then in life after physical death. That promise is there.

God Depends on Us

God is the Adjuster, man is the decision-maker

 I have to get something off my chest, my God. I had experienced something again and noticed that I and my fellow human being in that situation were so incredibly clumsy, stubborn, short-sighted, a bit primitive too. And then I thought, "How terribly dependent You are on us, on our will, on our attachments, on our short-sightedness. Actually incomprehensibly dependent. You God depends on us little people.

That's right, My son. God has made Itself totally dependent on your free will. Whichever way you go. No matter how wrong you choose. No matter how evil things you come up with. God cooperates. God is totally dependent on your little will. Of course you're surprised about that, it's also amazing. The Creator of the cosmos, who is subservient to the free will of a small, short-sighted, limited creature. That seems ridiculous.

But it's not. A grand and well-thought-out plan is at the heart of this, with clear goals, clear methods, such as evolution, and also completely successful "on the long run". For your freewill is embedded in a beautiful system of cosmic laws, through which you become wiser through every trial and error. And finally, after a large and impressive detour with all your experiences and insights, you will surrender gloriously to the Will of God completely, out of your own free will. There is no other way.

In the whole process of evolution from beast to spirit, from the development of the ape-man to saint on earth, nothing is lost, nothing is left unused, every experience, however miserable, is a source of strength and insight for the future spiritual man. The greatest criminals will one day become very good helpers of Christ. And the good people on earth too, of course, but in a different way. So, in a way, everything is going to be fine. God knows that. The spiritual helpers know that. The guardian angels know that. Your soul knows that.

 God is the Adjuster, man is the decision maker

And now comes the punch line. Through your conscience, intuition, heart and also through your mind, I offer all the knowledge and skill and wisdom there is. I am the Adjuster of your life, of your mind, of your attitude. However, what you do with it depends on the size of your evolved consciousness and on your free will. And that free will is a thing, as they say these days. You are the decision-maker. You decide whether you listen to it, you decide what to do with it. You decide how long you will deny the beautiful signals of God. Freewill is cherished by Us because only in this way you will become independent, wise and free beings. We don't need Earth's robots in the cosmos. And so with your freewill you do what you do. Just look at the past, just look around you, and beware of the near future. So be it. Everything fits into a grand and glorious plan of God, in that sense you can trust in the good outcome. In the meantime, We wish you strength with "the earthly party", that's really something.

My blessings to you all

We're following a long path

There is no shortcut to every destination of value (Arabic proverb)

Would You like to elaborate on this?

Can you say something about it for yourself first?

 

Oh yes, if that's what You want.

I notice that the ego likes to have it easily. And that every goal, every beautiful goal, every important thing, well, that has to be fought for, worked hardly, practiced hardly, maybe no blood sweat tears, but effort, and perseverance and keep on trying. And that perhaps that is also the difference between a saint and an ordinary person. The saint continues on the road where an ordinary person leaves off after a while. So what you see now with populist politicians, and for that matter in the whole of modern times: promising quickly and getting home soon. And that's not how life works.

 

Welcome to Earth, My good son. This is it.

It is certainly true that the road is the goal. And while practicing and struggling, it is good if a person also looks around and in the meantime enjoys all the beauty and the good that is around him. And wonderful and unexpected things can happen in a person's life, that's for sure.

But most of the time, life is a long and uncertain and hard struggle with many failures and worries and problems, with many sorrows. But oh oh how wonderful when the goal is achieved, the art is learned, the striving has results, making happiness, comforting, healing and certainly giving strength. In this way life is very beautiful. Experiencing success, achieving what has been tried for so long, experiencing the joy of the new art or achievement.

And man's difficulty can be, not that he tries and that he doesn't succeed, but that he doesn't go on, doesn't get up, doesn't try again, doesn't accept that life is hard, full of uncertainties and that everything has to be built, everything. The prince in shining armour visits few people.

And actually, the human being is happy who accepts his misfortune and knows that a long, often arduous road can lead to beautiful places.

And then, of course, we also have the promise of eternal life, the Good God who keeps an eye on everything, the spiritual helpers on earth who are endlessly available.

So all in all, isn´t life worth living after all?

13 years of listening with a wink

I wanted to tell You that today, as I celebrate the first time I heard your voice thirteen years ago, that I am grateful to You.

Of course also that I can experience this, to hear Your voice. But above all, that You provide such a fine voice. Loving messages, broad stories, glimpses of justice, surprising twists in the story, and above all everything so hopeful and light. You are a wonderful Spark of God, and I thank You for Your light, loving and beautiful messages. Sometimes I think things are getting old and I should just stop. But You always tell me to keep going and usually the messages in these strange and uncertain times are messages of peace and confidence and beautiful views of an earth full of life with a clear purpose. Thank You.

We'll leave it at that. And know that you are also a wonderful messenger. And I thank You for your patiently listening, which usually goes well. Be blessed.

Faith is a matter of attitude

What do you think of God," the teacher asked. After a pause, the young pupil replied, "He's not a think, he's a feel (Paul Frost)

 Would You like to comment on this?

 Yes, I do. But I think that's what you want too?

 Oh I sure do. Actually, it seems clever of that student, but I still find it debatable. I believe that being busy with God, thinking about God, knowing of God and feeling God in your heart, is certainly not a matter of feeling alone. Often enough I don't feel anything when I'm busy with You or when I'm praying. But I do experience that You hear me and that You exist, no doubt about it.

But in my eyes you are not One of my emotional life. The bottom line, I think, is that I have accepted You with my mind, I am concerned with You with my mind, and I accept and acknowledge with my mind that You exist. And then before, during or afterwards all kinds of feelings, sensations, ecstasy or beautiful energy are added. Thank goodness.

But I see very clearly around me that the people who do not believe are, without exception, people who trust very much in what they think themselves. And they don't like to give up that trust, often thinking that they know better than others. In short, in my opinion, faith is not something of thinking or feeling, but of "the surrender of the mind", trust, giving the control  away, modesty that you don't know things, something like that.

You have said it, My son. That egg has been laid. Good for you.

To be busy with God is certainly something of the mind, or the surrender of the mind, as you say. However, being busy with God is also something of feeling, because faith without feeling quickly becomes a bloodless thing. The feeling gives colour to the faith. Without feeling, faith becomes a law- and regulation thing. And that's a shame. In short, the student in the quote also has a point.

But being busy with God is above all an attitude to life, an attitude issue, a combination of thinking, feeling, but also willpower, also intuition, also impulses of the heart. In short, as is so often the case with man, you are all a little bit right. Isn't that beautiful?

When do you acquire God’s power

When you realize God’s purpose for your life isn’t about you, He will use you in a mighty way (Dr. Tony Evans)

 My God, would You elaborate on this?

 It is the well-known story whether a man has his ego on the throne or his My God.

Of course, God is not only concerned with man himself, but with his place in life, the big picture, not with the small limited egocentric life. That's fine temporarily, We're patient.

But the My God of a human being is only really going to use Its immense powers when all limitations and shortcomings are really released and dissolved from within and when the leakages in the energy field related to addictions and attachments are closed. Until then, people will continue to muddle through. How could it be otherwise? Can a plumber connect the water pipe if there is still a leak somewhere in the house? Can a carpenter provide a door with a good lock if the door does not close properly?

This imagery can be taken very literally.

 You do not realize how the pure and great and loving powers of God become destructive when the recipient is not pure. And that doesn't mean you have to be perfect. Certainly not. Because then God would be better off staying at home and chatting with the angels on Its cloud. It means that deep down you must recognize only one authority, namely My God.

·         If you always dedicate everything.

·         If you involve God in your life in all situations.

·         If you have come to consider really in fact your addictions less important than God within you.

·         When you have come to experience in life that there are more important things than your own little life.

·         When you fundamentally forsake your attachments.

·         So if you have been born again in the light of God.

 Only then can God release Its powers. Only then really big miracles will happen in your life. Only then will you truly become the hands of God on earth. Only then will the Kingdom of God be realized in your life on earth. Only then will you have become authoritative warriors under the banner of Christ.

Until then, your life is important and full of opportunities, and you are cherished and cared for in thousands of ways. But after that, you become saints on earth.

Tony Evans is blessed.
