Spiritual Forces behind our Choices

The current state of our world suggests there are big problems with the human race. It's time for lasting solutions. It starts with each of us. If we understand what motivates us, we can make a lasting difference.

Who we are with all our passions are rooted in what we believe. Those beliefs drive our thoughts, perceptions, feelings and choices. Beliefs are also linked to our spirits.

Beliefs are also the "why" behind the "what" we do. So it's wise to know what spiritual power (force) is feeding the "why" of our own disturbances. If our beliefs are not serving us (and others) well, our beliefs need an upgrade.

What's in our hearts, minds and bodies carry spiritual energy. These forces have a purpose that many people are unaware they partner with. Over time, they reveal "fruit" of life or death by the spiritual law they operate in. (Romans 7:5-6).

"The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace." Romans 8:6. The problem with the human race is a spiritual issue.

Toxic roots make "fruit" that steal life. Pure roots make fruit that gives life. It depends what "source" we are spiritually connected to.
If people choose to believe a lie, they empower the liar (the bad root source). Deception feeds their ego self, while their core self remains underdeveloped and spiritually asleep. Their willful ignorance keeps them from the perfect love of God, the true life source.

“You shall know the truth and the truth sets you free". John 8:32.

Many are connected to a false sense of power and justice that is life-taking, not life-giving. The Giver of life is not at work in them. They judge and diminish things they've never experienced. They are threatened by and even hate those who embody God's love. They are fueled by the deception they chose to partner with. Satan and his minions are threatened when Christians discover their voice and true identity in Christ.

“If the world hates you, understand it hated Me first." John 15:18.

It’s not the person but the darkness they carry that hates the redeeming power of Jesus. Their soul is lost and disconnected from the source of life. Deceit and denial helps them feel in control, yet they are under the control of the one who keeps them from the very love they need. Their belief system is failing them and it’s obvious to many people, yet they are blind to it.

Jesus fulfilled His purpose to bring mankind back to an original connection with God. We have a role to play in this two-sided relationship by opening the door to our hearts. He wants to awaken the parts of our souls that have needed love, justice and mercy that comes only through Him.

Jesus was a life-giving Spirit, sacrificing His life for mankind. (1 Corinthians 15:45). Those who would receive forgiveness, He gave access to live in a higher dimension of reality and love that gives, not takes away.

Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5.

I believe we're all suffering from spiritual separation anxiety. Many are spiritually blind and bankrupt and don't know it. We need the Lover of our souls so that we can love others well. We were created for love, but fear, hatred and pride restrict love.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out of fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4:18-19 NKJ

To be "made perfect" is a transformation of love imparted in our hearts. It can't be earned, just received.

It’s time to break-through the ego shell and be grafted in to the true vine. I pray you experience His perfect love in your heart that resurrects the parts that have been asleep or dead. You were born for such a time as this!!

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2
