Human culture is totally into ghosts, the paranormal, perversian of many kinds, the pursuit of money, fame, answers to the question of why we are here or what is our purpose, and the unordinary.
We live in an oxymoron society where we all want to live cookie cutter lives that represent our wealth or capability to control our lives, seemingly all the same; yet we want to stand out, stand apart, and be unique. You can just watch our popular media in books, movies, tv, and more and see how prolific these subjects are in just the monetary statistics alone. Not only that, time spent watching, the high demand for new story lines, and the pure awe of these types of stories, the attraction, the draw is evident everywhere no matter what country you are speaking of, what state, or what type of peoples. Even people who love God are watching and enjoying entertainment with these threads in them.
I have been for several years analyzing my life in the midst of getting to know God better. He has allowed me to walk a walk not many people get to, both due to what I believe was His Will to begin with and my own business of running from Him for things I thought would fulfill me. I started to wonder why, especially since He has allowed me to see spiritual things most people never do. I think I have figured it out and therefore, you are reading this book. It is a mixture of Testimony, Facts, and Teachings.
What drives us all?
FEAR
In my experience in life I have found that fear drives most all needs, wants, and goals in the human condition of life. If you break apart most every desire you can find the root of it in fear and the need to fulfill, cover over, feed, or deny that fear. The irony is that humans are also addicted to fear. It is the fear itself that makes them feel alive at times. We constantly live walking a tight rope, one foot in life, and one in death.
Fear Even in Christians
I have seen throughout my life a fear of the topic of the supernatural realm in the church. It shocks me at times and saddens me as well to see how many people are truly missing out on so much more that they could see AND how much closer to their Father they could be if they were willing to take a little risk, truly trust God, and let go of the fear factor. The problem with this (and I believe satan perpetuates the issue) is that the opposition is fulfilling the needs and questions people, and especially our young people, have when it comes to the supernatural realm.
Look around you. How many churches openly discuss the ideas of ghosts, spells, curses, etc.? What is the typical opinion of a church that practices healing, miracle believing, or the presence of the Holy Spirit? Why is there such a division between say a Baptist church and a Pentecostal church? Why is there such a stigma about someone who is feeling the presence of God in their souls and dancing or falling prostrate on the ground? What is a person supposed to do if God gives them the gift of Discerning of Spirits and they see things? Where would a person like that even fit in church? Do you not think that they usually get pulled to the opposing team? They do. There, a place or role is readily available to them.
We all enjoy our stable little lives. We want to feel safe and taken care of. Many Christians do not want to talk about spiritual things for fear that this might break their shiny little glass worlds. I think they are afraid to talk of such things because they feel they must hold on to these few set beliefs, the great commission, and that if they consider other things out of the box they might get led astray. They are also afraid of asking God for 'signs' or messages to tell them what He wants. Yes, Jesus mentioned in the Word that a wicked and adulterous people would ask for signs. I understand that. I think the focus here is different. We are not asking for a sign that Jesus or God is Real, NO. We would be asking for God or Jesus to Speak to us, be it through signs, not to prove their being or to prove they exist but to point us in the directions they need us to go in our lives.
Many Christians are afraid of seeing spiritual things for fear it might mean they are crazy. It is as though they simply want to live in faith, but dead faith. They go about their business and work, eat, sleep, go to worship once or twice weekly and maybe tell a few people about Christ. They are slaves to their culture and to their demigods.
Whoever said signing up as a believer meant that life would be dull and un-supernatural or that completely living in worship for God was wrong? Certainly Jesus didn't and so did many others in God's Word. Look at David. He danced and sang praises to God and made such a spectacle of himself that one of his wives refused to please him anymore! He ended up not giving her any attention anymore and she never had children. He punished her for her judging his worship for God. Apparently God was pleased with Him for He blessed David's lineage forever to the point of letting Jesus be part of it. Many Supernatural events occurred because of David's continued praising and following the Lord. There are hundreds of more accounts of how God loved, enjoyed, and bestowed Joyful praise through peoples and supernatural occurances in His Word.
So, does God still perform Supernatural Events today? God did and still does send Signs and Miracles. He also answers prayers in miraculous ways. He still Heals. He still Speaks. He still does much that we humans just miss or chock up to other demigods or religious ideals.
So why are Christians so fearful? We should be BOLD and STRONG, not fearful. FEAR. Fear, is great and can be the greatest asset to the enemy in any war... if you make a people afraid they may be afraid to fight back, give up their beliefs to keep stability, or even join the opposing team to keep from dying.
I believe Christians are fearful because satan has twisted their understanding of God's Word. He has led them to believe subtly that it is not as powerful as it is, that God is not as Super-Natural as He is, and that Super-Natural occurances are just for the opposition. I will show you how satan has lied to us in the project.
Fear has crippled me most all my life. I have accomplished much in life as you will see but I could have accomplished much more if I had not been so afraid of certain things. Our God is not a God of fear. The Bible says there is no fear in Christ Jesus!
Have you ever watched the game show Jeopardy? In it, the answers are given and the individual must find the questions. Just like in Jeopardy, satan has given us plenty of answers from his viewpoint on Super-Natural occurances. God gave us plenty of answers also it is just that we forgot to find them in His Word AND we have forgotten to ask the right questions. God says in His Word LOOKUP VERSE KIMBERLY ( THAT HE WILL TEACH US MIRACULOUS THINGS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT) We are living a Real Jeopardy and have had our eyes blinded to the truths. God is a Super Natural God and was Supernatural FIRST, before satan ever thought of it.
God Jeopardy Questions we need answers for:
1. Why is there such a draw to the Supernatural?
2. What would God say about the New Age movement ideas?
3. Why do we not hear more about these things from a Christian basis?
4. Why is it so taboo to talk of such things in the Christian circles and if our God is indeed a Spiritual God, why don't we talk about it more?
5. If Christians love the Lord so much and want to share that love with others then why not give an honest explanation of God's ideas on the matter? Why be fearful of talking about it? Non-christians want to know these things. If I were an unbeliever then I would want to know why believers are so afraid to talk about spiritual ideas and occurances when the Bible is chock full of them.
6. Where does God come into the spiritual ideas and the secular perspective?
7. Why is it that some people see spiritual things and others not, believers and unbelievers alike?
8. Where do Christian believers fit in who God allows to see the spiritual realm?
9. What a young believers supposed to think if they have been born with certain giftings.
10. If our God is a Spiritual God, when did this start? Has He always been a spiritual God?
11. Have you grown up in church? Or, have lived through the plight of coming to Christ and then wondered, what is next? I know many Christians who had that 'spiritual experience' of when they ask Jesus into their hearts and then can go years with nothing happening, no light, no life, and no fervor.
12. Why do people accept God and either never change or are not mentored in what comes next?
13. Why do so many Christians fall away in their walks?
14. Why are so many led astray so easily?
15. Why is the divorce rate in Christian circles equal to that of secular circles?
16. Why do we not see much difference in people’s lives who say they are Christians compared with unbelievers?
GOD GOGGLES is going to answer these questions above & more through the example of my life, God's Word, and the Holy Spirit's leading of your heart.
It is our job as Christians to allow the Holy Spirit to teach us and to not dampen or quench Him.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
…25All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in My name, will teachyou all things and will remind you of everything Ihave told you. 27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.… God says if we ask He will answer if We knock He will open the doors. All you need to do if you believe in Him and want to have the answers is to Ask and He will open your eyes.
Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (19) We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:18-19 ESV
~~~
Together, we will learn what Should be Next after Accepting God in our lives and the steps He presented to Walk Closer With Him.
Many people fall away or go years without experiencing the Spirit of God.
HEAVEN BOUND: I had a friend years ago who was an unbeliever. We used to work together daily with about twenty other women. She was a good friend and all our friends were mostly believers. We never pressured her but we would talk openly and frankly about her life and ours.
I asked her one day how come she didn't give her life to Christ since she openly admitted He was real, alive, the Savior. Do you know what her answer was? She said, "I don't want give my life to Christ because I like my life how it is and I know I would hate heaven. I don't want to live that way now, like in Heaven, so why would I give my life to Him? If I'm happy with things here I definitely wouldn't be happy in Heaven."
That was huge for me. I was thinking of the alternative and I asked her if she wanted to go to hell. She replied, "I would never be happy in heaven."
I continued thinking about this though and it made me think, she is really a wise person! She is right! If we would enjoy heaven then of course we would want to live here on Earth, how we would there. So, where are you happiest or would be happiest?
Can we experience a taste of heaven now? I believe so, in experiencing our Lord.
Get Ready for The REAL SUPER- Natural...
Be ready when reading the book to be open to the un-normal, the supernatural, at times the unreal, as this is a common thread in my own life which is presented here and once you are able to see is a common thread in life period. I will also throw in some stories from friends who have given me permission to tell their stories or acquaintances I have met along the way. At times they will want to remain anonymous but know their stories are True. I will Never lie to you even if the truth makes me look stupid and puts me in predicaments. The truth sets us all free.
To Unbelievers of God:
If you do not know God: This book is not written to persuade you for Christ. It is not my job in life to sway you or to make you believe in God or Jesus, that is Holy Spirit's job. It is my job to run with the story and write it down especially when He keeps nudging me to do so.
To ALL: Be Open to the Lord even if you do not believe in supernatural things or occurrences…
If you want to see God more and/ or the spiritual world you need to be open to REALLY SEEING IT.
Me- I have questioned many times why God has allowed me, of all people, to live this life, to see these things as I know hundreds of people who have never even had the chance to see anything spiritual. I must admit I am quite nervous to see the reactions of the public and the possible repercussions but at the same time excited to see the positive experiences and ways God will help people change their lives.
I have in my life tended to keep these things on the ''down low'' as many people assume that people who have seen or been part of spiritual things are crazy. I believe that a realistic stance/ viewpoint on life and basis blended with the knowledge of the happenings in the Bible help me to remember that I remain ever factual and grounded in God; and know that He has just guided me through all this for some greater purpose. This project takes how I have learned over time to be able to use my own God Goggles God gave me. Through it, I hope the Holy Spirit teaches you. It isn't me being the teacher so much as just the presenter of what God has done in my life, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the hopeful. I hope producing it here is what He really wanted and that it helps others to know HIM more.
NOTE:
I suggest for a more in depth theological study that helps you understand the concept of SEERS to get the book by Jonathan Welton, "The School of Seers". A couple gave me the book about a month ago (March 2012), and I'm highly impressed. I am not a pastor and able to present the fabulous information he brings to life with God in his book, here. Plus, it is not right. He has degrees in theology and I do not. All my life since meeting the Lord I have wanted to understand what and why. Jonathan's book answered my questions. This project just states the walk God and I took and what He taught me personally through my very unnatural life.
Why call it, The God Goggles Project?
I call the project God Goggles, taking a little twist from the old adage and idea of beer goggles... the ability to see something in a new light; only we are not checking out the latest gal, we are checking out a new type of Searching for God and a Super-Natural World. This is an interactive project. You have to think for yourself to get your Goggles focused.
*God Goggles: Dialing in and focusing your personal 911 call to the Supernatural World and being able to Notice, Understand, Acknowledge, and React more Effectively to that New Information as well as Understand God's Plan as a Whole. Summed up: You are unlocking the spiritual realm with God’s help and tapping into the Holy Ghost.
God's "Whole-y" Plan-
A main part of having God Goggles is tapping into the Holy Ghost Himself. Lots of people have been accustomed to hearing about this person/ part of God. He has become a household name that people take for granted. Be assured, He is Powerful and Real. Without understanding God's Plan and using His playbook WITH the Holy Ghost, Seeing How God works is Impossible as well as being Whole-y in Him.
I was sitting here mulling the book over, almost done actually, and tweaking it. I was wondering how to present exactly what God Goggles was and just kind of being quiet, empty, and listening to the Lord. I was staring at our mini-blinds. Now, we have lived in this little house for five and a half years. It's an old house that was pretty much built by the previous owner. I was staring at the mini-blinds and noticed something I had not noticed in the five and a half years since moving in, putting up different curtains time after time, washing windows, and cleaning the darn mini-blinds themselves. I noticed the man had put little wedges, extra two by four pieces, next to the mini-blinds themselves to make them fit! How many times had I cleaned those things? How many times did I change curtains? Gosh, I can't count the times. I never noticed those little wedges though! Amazing. Then God whispered to me, "It's like that Kim." YES! That is what it is! It's like reading the Bible a gazillion times, over and over. You think you have it and then Voila! God opens your eyes and you see something entirely new. Or, you are going through life, minding your own business, maybe speaking to the Lord.... you could of had five months since the last "God experience" and you are tired, bored, and asking God, Where are you? Then, out of the blue, you see something spiritual! God gives you the food you need, when you need it, as you mature in Him, and according to how you use what He gives you.
God focusing your God Goggles works on His timing but it also works on your knocking and asking for Him to do so. This project is just my showing you what He showed me/ is showing me. Even as I write it, the most AMAZING things are happening!
All of you who read the project will get different things out of it depending on your own personal life history, experiences, DNA, desires, Ultimately God's Will for your Future, and well you know, uniqueness. No two people will have the same experience. No two people will have their God Goggles focused the same as anyone else's. They may be similar, you may have a lot in common, but God has something entirely special just for you waiting in these covers. This project is between you, and God.

I call the project God Goggles, taking a little twist from the old adage and idea of beer goggles... the ability to see something in a new light; only we are not checking out the latest gal, we are checking out a new type of Searching for God and a Super-Natural World. This is an interactive project. You have to think for yourself to get your Goggles focused.
*God Goggles: Dialing in and focusing your personal 911 call to the Supernatural World and being able to Notice, Understand, Acknowledge, and React more Effectively to that New Information as well as Understand God's Plan as a Whole. Summed up: You are unlocking the spiritual realm with God’s help and tapping into the Holy Ghost.
God's "Whole-y" Plan-
A main part of having God Goggles is tapping into the Holy Ghost Himself. Lots of people have been accustomed to hearing about this person/ part of God. He has become a household name that people take for granted. Be assured, He is Powerful and Real. Without understanding God's Plan and using His playbook WITH the Holy Ghost, Seeing How God works is Impossible as well as being Whole-y in Him.
I was sitting here mulling the book over, almost done actually, and tweaking it. I was wondering how to present exactly what God Goggles was and just kind of being quiet, empty, and listening to the Lord. I was staring at our mini-blinds. Now, we have lived in this little house for five and a half years. It's an old house that was pretty much built by the previous owner. I was staring at the mini-blinds and noticed something I had not noticed in the five and a half years since moving in, putting up different curtains time after time, washing windows, and cleaning the darn mini-blinds themselves. I noticed the man had put little wedges, extra two by four pieces, next to the mini-blinds themselves to make them fit! How many times had I cleaned those things? How many times did I change curtains? Gosh, I can't count the times. I never noticed those little wedges though! Amazing. Then God whispered to me, "It's like that Kim." YES! That is what it is! It's like reading the Bible a gazillion times, over and over. You think you have it and then Voila! God opens your eyes and you see something entirely new. Or, you are going through life, minding your own business, maybe speaking to the Lord.... you could of had five months since the last "God experience" and you are tired, bored, and asking God, Where are you? Then, out of the blue, you see something spiritual! God gives you the food you need, when you need it, as you mature in Him, and according to how you use what He gives you.
God focusing your God Goggles works on His timing but it also works on your knocking and asking for Him to do so. This project is just my showing you what He showed me/ is showing me. Even as I write it, the most AMAZING things are happening!
All of you who read the project will get different things out of it depending on your own personal life history, experiences, DNA, desires, Ultimately God's Will for your Future, and well you know, uniqueness. No two people will have the same experience. No two people will have their God Goggles focused the same as anyone else's. They may be similar, you may have a lot in common, but God has something entirely special just for you waiting in these covers. This project is between you, and God.
