We are living in a spiritual system where it is done unto you as you believe. This is so whether you believe it or not. Without knowledge and understanding folks are already dead spiritually. This leaves you merely responding to life's events blindly, wondering why things occur and you have no power in you to overcome adversity. With God/Christ all things are possible. Oh, enjoy the smoke, we know eventually it will make breathing difficult but that is not what defiles a person. What defiles you is what comes out of your mouth, words from the heart, evil actions. Don't you want the greatest life possible, to be happy, content, to love and be loved? We are to, be one, with God/Christ as Jesus prayed for Us in John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. 21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou has sent me. You can of course visit my blog which I provided you a link to the story about my father's literal illumination, which is why I started writing. For years, even though I was baptized at ten, I was not truly walking by faith. I would at times cry out to God wondering why life was so hard. Over the years I have seen some amazing things. God is very real, I hope you discover this so you can truly live, forever!
