Blood of Christ Can Wipe Away All the Sins by Brayan Peter

Repent and turn to god in Acts 26:20 are not two separate things but are considered one. A person cannot repent and then turn towards lord in faith. But he should turn towards lord by faith and tell god to forgive his sins as a sign of repentance. When a man realizes his guilt and goes against god’s law that makes him to call lord for forgiving him of his sins. Repent is also defined as to change one’s mind. Repentance begins when a person’s sin is corrupting his life and he is offensive to god.

….the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.

Biblical references to “repentance”

Acts 3:19 …#34; repent and be converted, that your sins might be wiped away Acts 17:30 …#34; god is declaring to men that all everyone should repent” Acts 26:20- repent and turn to god, performing deeds appropriate to repentance Acts 5:31 …#34; to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins

Repent means a change of mind, a change of attitude. It also means that a change from not trusting god to trusting god. It also means a change from not believing god to believing god. If you find a church and pray there, god will definitely forgive you for all the sins. A belief in god destroys the love of sin. If a person has faith then his heart is purified because this enables one to choose as what is right and what is wrong. The sin is not destroyed until a person repents. God says does not lie but you lie then you have broken his law and sinned. He tells not to cheat, not to lie etc. all these things are considered as sin. The Old Testament contains the law of god. If the law of the lord is not kept it is considered a sin. Jesus came on earth to take our place and die for our sins. He took the judgment upon him. He who trusts what god did on the cross his sins will be removed. He will be saved from god’s future judgment.

Meaning of faith means accepting god’s will over our own will. The other words to consider for the word faith is trust, reliance, loyalty, commitment, dedication, conviction.

The blood of Christ was sacred blood because it was a blood of the perfect man. Christ alone was a perfect god and perfect man. The blood of Christ is sinless blood. His blood is like a lamb without spot. All other human blood is not pure because of Adam’s fall. But the blood of the lord did not contain any sinful corruption. The blood of Christ is sacrificial blood. The blood was shed once for all. The blood of Jesus was sufficient blood. His blood was shed once for all. Christ’s blood is a shielding blood. Lord saves us completely from the insinuations and accusations of the arch enemy the devil. People who want freedom from sin can be rescued only from the blood of jesus. The blood of Christ means everything to the believers.

Love Your Desires by Ann Hazel

Have you ever thought about what your desires mean to you? How do you feel about them? Are you happy and excited when new ones arrive or are you trying to block them because they make you feel miserable? Do you believe that you are entitled to have anything you want or are you trying to justify every desire that you have?

If you are like most people, than you have probably too often heard in your life that you can’t have what you want just because you want it. And although nobody ever explained why you can’t, you accepted it as reality. But the truth is that all your desires already have the power to manifest. Whenever a new desire arises within you, it means that all the circumstances and all your previous choices have aligned in such a way that this desire can be perfectly manifested in your life.

All of your desires already have such a power in themselves to manifest that they don’t need much of your action. The only thing that they lack is your trust in them. A little less worrying and negative emotion towards your longstanding desire can make it come true almost immediately. Let me give you an interesting example that has recently happened to me. For a few months I had been hopelessly looking for an animated cartoon that I had seen when I was child. I really loved this cartoon because it had some outstanding characters and very beautiful songs. However, none of my attempts gave any results. I felt very confused and frustrated when I thought about all this. Anyway, time passed, I stopped thinking about this cartoon and just went on with my everyday routine. And that’s when the Universe responded! As soon as I stopped worrying that I don’t have this cartoon that I want so much, it came to me in three different ways (one was a gift from a friend and the other two I found “by accident”). I am sure you can recall several similar occasions in your life.

Another reason why our desires may not manifest for a long time is because we think that not all of them are appropriate, that is we shouldn’t really want certain things and feel guilty about some of our desires. For example, a lot of people were taught to believe that it is “unspiritual” to want material things, especially ones that we classify as luxurious. If you have ever heard someone say to you “All you ever think about is money!”, then you know what I mean. But what is really wrong with us wanting all these things? Absolutely nothing. There are no unspiritual desires, because everything that surrounds us is spiritual. Just think about this for a moment: how can you possibly combine two beliefs â€" that God is omnipresent and penetrates every atom in the Universe, that everything has come from God and everything is God (as all those “spiritual” people teach) and that what you desire is not right, that it is not what God (or however you call this Universal Power) wants for you? You can’t, because these beliefs are inconsistent with each other, the former automatically excludes the latter.

I hope you already know and understand all this, but even if you don’t, your subconscious will soon hint you that it is the right thing to believe in :). What we are going to do now is perform a little practical exercise to become friendlier with our desires. So, relax, put away everything that can distract you in the next 15-20 minutes, make yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea and sit comfortably in front of your computer or with a notebook and a pencil (whichever you prefer).

Now I want you to write down everything that you wish to have and experience in your life, starting from the most burning desires that you have had for a long time (like finding your soul mate or starting your own business) to small things that maybe only once occurred to you (this can be anything, from getting a puppy to becoming a supermodel). Now write down everything that you remember wanting and not getting (your childhood dreams, your teenage aspirations, etc.). You don’t have to follow this order, I’m just giving it as a guideline, write whatever comes to your mind. If you need more than 20 minutes, just make yourself another cup of coffee and continue working on your list. When you finish you should feel either overwhelmed and drained, as if you have been working intellectually for many hours, or fulfilled, as if you have finished an important task. Remember that what you are writing in this exercise are not your goals, don’t think whether they are real or how you can achieve them, just write about what you want to have, be or experience. Write until you list every single one of your desires that you can think of.

Now it’s time to sum up what you have written. Think about what you felt when you were writing down your dreams. Is it a very long list? Did you feel guilty when you were writing it? Did you think that you were greedy, that you shouldn’t want so many things, that no one person should have all this? It’s quite normal if you did, because this is what we all were taught to think. How did you feel when you finished the exercise? If you felt overwhelmed and drained, it means that you have a lot of resistance towards your desires; you don’t believe that you can have them. It is also very likely that most of those desires that you wrote are not really what you want. Maybe someone else wants you to do that and you just want that person to feel good about you? I recommend that you carefully read through the list that you wrote and identify which of those desires are yours. You will know it by the way you feel and because now you are doing it intentionally.

And, last but not least, if after finishing this exercise you felt fulfilled and satisfied, it means that you are doing a great job and have no resistance to your desires. Enjoy your life and everything you want will come to you, often in very unexpected but pleasant ways :). Leave the space for the Universe to bring you even more than you ask for! Maybe while doing this exercise you remembered some long forgotten dreams that you nurtured many years ago. Well, I wish you to fulfill them and all of those which are still to come.

Beloved I AM PRESENCE by Living in the Light

I have recently learned of my Soul's purpose for this lifetime. It did not come to me in a dream, but in the form of an intuition while I was surfing on the net one day. Yes, this internet is now filled with all of the glorious information for accessing the soul easily attainable by the stroke of a few keys. When I realized what I read, and what I saw, I came to the understanding of the time we are in and what I must do to serve mankind. Everyone soul is here to serve a purpose, whether we have awoken to it or not. Eventually, we will all have to wake up and choose...

Kabbalah on Life's Secret Ingredient by Bnei Baruch

Have you ever asked yourself why people do the things they do? Whether we are talking about acts of heroism, antisocial behavior, or simple personality quirks, we never cease to be amazed at the variety of ways people respond to life. There are libraries full of books trying to explain psychology and human behavior, but maybe it is much simpler than that.

The first computers were based on a very simple design: they received input, performed a calculation and then produced some output. Computers have gotten far more sophisticated over the years, but this is still essentially the way they operate. Computers are machines, though. They cannot choose which input they want to receive (other than by executing instructions that have been programmed into them) or receive pleasure from their calculations and so demand more of the same.

People are far more complex, but when we get down to basics, they operate in a remarkably similar fashion. Instead of programming, the driving force behind every action that a person takes is a magical ingredient within nature - desire. Desire actually begins as a sense of lack. Nothing is desired without first experiencing its absence. The fulfillment of a desire is sensed as pleasure, while its absence is perceived as suffering. Not a moment goes by that we don't adjust something, even if it's just a slight change in our position, to make ourselves more comfortable.

Once a lack or desire is felt, the human computer goes to work. The five senses - taste, touch, sound, sight, and smell - provide input to the body. The mind then begins to calculate the best way to fulfill that desire. Is the anticipated pleasure worth the effort required to obtain it? These calculations are what compel us to action, the equivalent of the computer's output. Our whole life is a constant pursuit of good things to fill us, surround us and make us feel satisfied.

We are creatures with many desires; they manifest themselves without our knowledge, without any help from our intellects. For instance, there are sexual desires and desires for food. In this way, we are no different than other animals. We see desire even in plant forms -- they turn towards the sun.

As humans, however, the desires grow to great heights. We want all kinds of things that money can buy. We want knowledge. We want honor. We want power. The arts, the sciences, the technologies -- all have been created because of desire. Each person in the world experiences a different combination of these desires, which is what makes us unique individuals. One person might be satisfied with a nice house and comfortable lifestyle. Another might yearn for the political spotlight, while a third might aspire to be the next Einstein. As different as these people may appear on the surface, they are all simply responding to the underlying desires that they feel.

There are some people, though, who cannot find satisfaction in any of these things. These people feel emptiness, but it is a desire for something not found in this world. It is a seed of spiritual desire. It's like the power of life within an apple seed. It holds the potential to become a tree-- it holds the desire to become a tree. This may start out as a very tiny urge, but eventually it cannot be ignored.

The wisdom of Kabbalah provides the methodology to help that seed of spiritual desire blossom and grow. Kabbalists understand that spiritually, like in the physical, no action happens without desire; therefore, they work to build that special desire until it demands fulfillment. Once it is big enough and demanding enough, Kabbalah teaches us how to satisfy it by developing a sixth sense, an awareness of a spiritual world beyond this world. From this point on, our human computer performs calculations of a new and different nature: ones designed to bring us to spiritual fulfillment.

According to Kabbalah, spiritual fulfillment is the reason for our existence. It is the reason that desire was created in the first place, and is the only desire that will bring lasting happiness. All that happens in life is meant to bring us to one point: the awakening of that first spiritual desire. Desire-- the secret ingredient of life. That which manifests, but can't be seen. Today, human beings are following the next course in evolution that was initiated from the beginning--the desire for the ineradicable worlds beyond.
