Techniques to Help Improve your Life.

Mindfulness is to become more aware of our state; what’s going on in our life and our body. If we’re not happy where we are in life, there are things we can do which can cause a change our direction.

Spirituality is a huge part of change, as it teaches us to focus on what we would like to see within our life. As we become more aware of our state, we can begin to change that state, removing the negatives and building upon the positives.

Here, I’d like to draw upon quantum leaps. Quantum leaps into timelines is a fascinating concept that blends ideas from quantum physics and metaphysical beliefs. If you include the Almighty in this, the results are greater than if you don’t. I come at this from a Christian perspective. Jesus Christ; the way, the truth and the life. Bring Jesus into the process and watch your life change.

Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, His is within all time frames. As we travel, He travels with us and I would suggest you don’t attempt this process without His aid. Ask Him to come and show you what He wants you to see, to teach you what He wants you to know, to lead you step by step through the process. Ask Jesus to show you spiritual epiphanies, as you go through these steps. You don’t want to do this without Jesus, for you might end up in places you don’t want to be.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Quantum Leaps

In quantum physics, a quantum leap refers to an electron jumping from one energy level to another within an atom. This jump happens instantaneously and without traversing the space in between. The term has been metaphorically extended to describe sudden, significant changes in various contexts.

Timelines

Timelines refer to different paths or sequences of events that could potentially unfold. In metaphysical and spiritual contexts, timelines are often seen as parallel realities or alternate versions of one’s life that exist simultaneously. As Christians, we're living from both heaven and earth 

Quantum Leaping into Timelines

The idea of quantum leaping into timelines suggests that individuals can make significant, instantaneous shifts from one reality to another. This can involve:

Changing Life Circumstances: Making a major decision or experiencing a profound event that drastically alters one’s life path.

Shifting Perspectives: Adopting a new mindset or belief system that changes how one experiences reality.

Spiritual Practices: Engaging in meditation, visualization, or other spiritual practices to align with a desired timeline.

Practical Implications

Personal Growth: Quantum leaps can lead to rapid personal development and transformation.

Manifestation: By focusing on a desired outcome, individuals can potentially “leap” into a timeline where that outcome is realized.

Healing: Shifting timelines can also be seen as a way to heal past traumas by moving into a reality where those traumas have less impact.

Challenges

Uncertainty: Such leaps can bring about uncertainty and instability as one adjusts to new circumstances.

Consistency: Maintaining the new timeline requires consistent effort and alignment with the desired reality.

Here are some practical techniques for quantum leaping into desired timelines:

1. Visualization

Create a Clear Vision: Imagine your desired reality in vivid detail. Picture yourself living in that reality, experiencing the emotions and sensations associated with it.

Daily Practice: Spend a few minutes each day visualizing this reality. The more detailed and consistent your visualization, the more powerful it becomes.

2. Affirmations

Positive Statements: Use affirmations to reinforce your desired reality. For example, “I am living my dream life” or “I am aligned with my highest good.”

Repetition: Repeat these affirmations daily, especially during meditation or before sleep.

3. Meditation

Quiet Space: Find a quiet and comfortable place to meditate. Focus on your breath and clear your mind.

Guided Meditations: Use guided meditations specifically designed for quantum jumping. These can help you focus and direct your energy towards your desired timeline. Justin Paul Abraham has some great meditations to help you here. You’ll find him on You Tube.

4. Journaling

Write Your Reality: Journal as if you are already living in your desired timeline. Describe your day, your feelings, and your experiences as if they are happening now.

Gratitude: Express gratitude for this new reality. Gratitude amplifies positive energy and helps attract what you desire.

5. Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs

Identify Beliefs: Recognize any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.

Reframe: Replace these beliefs with empowering ones. For example, change “I can’t achieve this” to “I am capable of achieving anything.” Or, particularly for the Christian; “I can do all things through Christ.”

6. Energy Alignment

Raise Your Vibration: Engage in activities that raise your vibration, such as spending time in nature, or listening to worship music. Connect with God. As you breathe focus on God. This helps you draw God to yourself. As you focus on God, your energy vibration lifts.

Surround Yourself with Positivity: Be around positive people and environments that support your desired reality.

7. Taking Inspired Action

Act as If: Start taking actions that align with your desired timeline. Even small steps can create momentum.

Follow Intuition: Trust your intuition and take inspired actions that feel right.

8. Consistency and Patience

Regular Practice: Consistency is key. Regularly practice these techniques to maintain alignment with your desired timeline.

Patience: Trust the process and be patient. Quantum leaps can happen suddenly, but they also require sustained effort and belief.

Quantum jumping meditation is a technique that combines meditation, visualization, and the principles of quantum physics to help individuals shift their consciousness to a desired reality.

Below are some practical techniques to get started:

Steps for Quantum Jumping Meditation

Preparation:

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down in a relaxed position.

Relaxation:

Close your eyes and take deep, slow breaths.

Focus on relaxing each part of your body, starting from your toes and moving up to your head.

Visualization:

Imagine a doorway or portal, or a door, in front of you. This represents the entrance to a parallel reality.

Visualize stepping through this doorway into a world where your desired outcome has already been achieved.

Immersion:

Fully immerse yourself in this new reality. See, hear, and feel everything as if it is happening right now.

Connect with your “other self” in this reality, the self you left behind, as you spiritually entered the door. Notice how they think, feel, and act.

Integration:

Spend some time experiencing this new reality. Absorb the feelings and sensations. When you feel ready, express gratitude for the experience. If at first it doesn’t feel real, perhaps it feels like it’s all in your imagination. Stick with it, as in time it will start to take shape and begin to manifest the desired outcome.

Return:

Slowly bring your awareness back to your present reality. Open your eyes and take a few moments to reflect on the experience.

Tips for Effective Quantum Jumping

Consistency: Practice regularly to strengthen your ability to shift realities.

Clarity: Be clear about what you want to achieve in the new reality.

Emotion: Engage your emotions fully during the visualization to make the experience more vivid and powerful.

You are Responsible for your Life.

You are Responsible for your Life.

When you understand it’s your life and your relationships and that you’re responsible for both, when you stop making excuses and start making an effort, your life will change.

When we talk about change we need to ask ourselves a few questions; will the change benefit the people around me, is it compatible with my values, is it specific and clear, are people favourable to the change, can I test it before sending it out, are the resources available to make it happen, is it reversible, is right here right now the obvious next step, can leadership bring about the change, is the timing right?

What should I do? When should I do it? Why should I do it? Sounds simple doesn’t it? Not.

Wisdom and knowledge are no good without application. You can have all the right questions, but until you test them, you’ll never know if they work. Pray about the matter. The more you pray the more you notice. The less you pray the less you notice. It’s that simple.

At the end of the day, you get to be as close to God as you choose to be. For some; the unbeliever is not satisfied until Christ hangs on the cross. The believer counts the cost of the cross, the cost of discipleship and the cost of following Christ. You’re either for Christ or against Him. There is no in-between.

Why not make Holy fear your treasure? Value virtue. Seek wisdom, righteousness and relationship. Be Holy as He is Holy.

We are holy as we come under His authority through faith and salvation, however there are two types of holiness; positional holiness and behavioural holiness. One recognising our reconciliation towards Christ’s sacrifice, the other aligns our actions to follow suit. Our behaviour must change as we mature in faith, becoming more Christlike.

As we serve, honour and revere Him, our holiness unlocks the blessings He has for us. Obedience is our key to success. We read our bible daily, and follow the instructions it gives. We ask God to empower us. The truth has the most potential to set us free, it also has the greatest potential to cause offense. You may lose a friend or two in the process. Are you willing to accept the price?

If you’re willing to go the whole way with God, describe who you want to be, including your character traits, your desires, the way you treat people, how you live and work towards it.

Chronic health problems result from suppression of destructive cellular memories. Cellular memories are the imprints in our minds of traumatic events. Coping we get through life, but coping is not a healthy way to live.

Coping is a form of suppression and suppression is a pressure cooker which will eventually erupt. Guilt and shame come about through failure and condemnation is the result of guilt and shame. But there is no condemnation in Christ. Romans 8:1 There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

When in coping mode only, we have a tendency to criticize and complain. Coping drains us of physical and emotional energy and never solves the problem. It’s not what you do which changes things, it’s what you believe in your heart. We must stop complaining and start believing in the word of God.

It’s most difficult to emulate success when you’ve never seen success. Having said that; knowledge is not the problem. Belief is the problem. If only we could believe as Jesus believed!

Allow yourself to be filled with the peace of God. Thank God for His peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding and acknowledge that you are open and ready for a solution to the problem that you face. Meditate. Sit quietly and wait for the answers to come.

The Book of Life.

The Book of Life.

I listened to a you tube clip and it spoke of numinous power, not Dunamis as I’m used to hearing. Both meaning power. The former being the presence of divinity, the latter being potential or ability. We need the latter. We also need the former. We need that presence of the Divine. Potential is something, presence is something else.

The trouble is; we’re all learning. We all start from scratch and every one of us needs to learn it anew. We don’t just pick up where someone else left off. We can; we can follow a great leader and learn from him/her, but we don’t have that knowledge until we start.

25 plus years of following God and I’m only just today hearing about numinous power. Now I need to attain it. I’m told we don’t have because we don’t ask, or because we ask amiss, and so I ask: Lord send me Your Numinous power.

That numinous power should help us move by inspiration, not desperation. Inspiration can be found in any field, in all areas of life. Most of us, however, are just going through the motions, doing what we have to do and no more. We're tired of the rat race, but not desiring to find a way out. Not even knowing how to be free.

God can show you a way out - but He won't, unless you seek Him. Ask God to show you the pages of your book, for everyone of us have a book written with our name in it. That book is called; The Book of Life. The Book of Life is Jesus Christ. Make it your quest to explore the hidden mind of God Almighty, to enter into the pierced hands and side, the bloody wounds for which your name was inscribed.

In that book God calls us to repent, to confess our sins and turn from our wicked ways. The book suggests we turn not inward, but outward, towards the Son that we may enter the unending rest of the Sabbath. It is not the good, or the one who tries the hardest who will be saved. It is the one who believes. He who believes in the Living Lord. He who takes that Lamb’s Book of Life and lives it for themselves.

God suggests we write our vision and make it plain. It's so very easy to be distracted and if the vision isn't before you, you'll become side-tracked. Before you know it a year has passed, 2 years have passed, then 10 years and you've not yet made a start. Writing your vision keeps you focused and on track.

Be fully committed, not half-hearted. For those who are lukewarm, God will spit you out of His mouth. He wants committed people, people who will stay the course and not quit. Can you do this? Can you stay the course and not quit? Can you believe?

Lord I believe. Help my unbelief.

All Consuming Eyes of Fire.

All Consuming Eyes of Fire.

Your bible; if I could turn these pages with gloves on, I’d wear gloves. I personally haven’t revered this book to its absolute authority, its expert witness and greatest value. This book is too pure for these sin stained hands.

We ought to pick up this book with a greater awe and reverence, the kind of awe and reverence it deserves, for it was written by the greatest force on earth and in heaven. The Lord wrote His book with eyes of blazing fire. Eyes looking zealously. Eyes of intense emotion, of consuming passion and love for His creation.

The Lord consulted with wisdom from the very beginning; wisdom was with Him and is The Word. The Lord wrote the word, then He consulted with His own word. God is the only one who consults with His own word. He consults with His own word because it doesn’t lie.

The word was there right from the beginning. A book unquestionably supernatural right from the start of creation until now. The Lord wrote the word, then sat it before Himself and created every form from it; He created it all with the same consuming passion that He wrote it.

I was given a challenge recently, to write the book of Romans in my own hand and carry it with me everywhere I go. Romans; the clearest presentation of Christian doctrine denoting the sinful nature of man and rounding off with God’s righteousness and saving grace by faith. Restoring rebels from their own path of destruction and taking them from their brokenness into the fulness of all God has for them, with practical instruction.

Why write Romans and carry it? To follow God’s word unreservedly. Can you imagine if all our politicians did this? Oh, the changes they would make. How history would have been different if Hitler, Stalin and the likes of them would have written and carried God’s word in their pockets.

Let’s not stop at Romans either. What if we wrote the Epistles, or Proverbs and carried them too? You might be thinking why rewrite what’s already written? We can just carry the book itself. What I’m finding, in writing Romans, is a deeper understanding, a connection of the power of God in greater measure. Somehow, in taking it from reading to written, the word forms and sets resolutely.

Two other areas I was challenged on… one was to say the Lord’s prayer 400 times in one sitting. That was terribly interesting. And to speak more frequently in tongues. It’s a 14-hour drive to my daughter’s. 7 hours today and 7 hours tomorrow. That’s a lot of time to think. It’s a lot of time where I can and did pray the Lord’s prayer 400 times in one sitting and speak in tongues 5 hours straight.

I’m not going to tell you what happened with the Lord’s prayer. You can find out for yourself. In speaking in tongues, I’ve been doing this for years, but never for a period of 5 hours straight. If you want to open the word to its full advantage, I recommend you give this a try. Perhaps you don’t need to do 5 hours, perhaps an hour will do, but give it a go. It’s well worth the exercise.

For now though, let us honour the Lord. Let us give the Lord our greatest accolades. Let us today, take of the body and blood in reverence of Him and the gift of His Son, as He’s asked us to do. Today Lord, I give thanks for the great sacrifice of Your Son. I take of His body, broken for me and drink of His blood, shed that I might have life and have it more abundantly. Lord I honour you in this today.

The Sovereignty of God.

The Sovereignty of God.

I dug a little deeper into Ecclesiastes 8 today. My understanding was “He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful” (verse 5 – where no harm would come to the believer). It was pointed out to me; this can’t be true for bad things happen to good people and this caused me to dig that little bit deeper into the passage.

This verse isn’t about keeping the commands of God, but of the rulers of the day (in this case, King Solomon). Here the passage isn’t talking about keeping the commands of the Lord, but of the lord. This sentence uses the lower-case L, pointing not to God but to the king of the nation. Although it could be used with the Lord our God. Still bad things do happen to good people.

The chapter itself begins by praising wisdom. It advises of the obedience to authority, in which things will go well for those who abide by the law of the land. That obedience protects one from harm. Don’t drink and drive, don’t break and enter, don’t murder. Things will go much better for you if you obey the law.

We were born to a fallen world. We live with broken hearts and broken minds. Calamity and sickness are ever knocking at our door. In keeping the laws of the land, in doing right, we can to a point, stave off troubles. In keeping to the laws of God,  in obeying laws and instruction, the Lord promises protection,  as it says in Psalm 91; no evil shall be for you. Psalm 91: A psalm of the particular importance to the believer, as we dwell in the shadow of the Almighty, nestled in the closeness of His bosom. 

Just as Job (from the biblical Book of Job) lost his family, wealth, home, and possessions through an attack of satan, he never lost his true dwelling place with God. The place of intimate worship, our secret place; the place turn to in times of difficulty. Although Job didn't understand his circumstances, although he had no good explanation for why this had happened, he did understand all things work together for good according to Hiss purposes.

The passage from Ecclesiastes then goes on to discuss the uncertainties of life, scrutinising the proper time and procedure in the ways of the world. There’s value in wisdom; in following God’s word, discerning the right time and right way to act. The wise not only understand what to do, but also how and when to do it. It pays to learn wisdom.

In practical terms, this verse encourages us to be mindful of our decisions and our actions. The limit of human control is the underscore that some things are beyond our control and are to be accepted as such.

The author reflects on the injustices of life where the wicked appear to receive honour while the righteous suffer. Even so, it reassures the reader that those who fear God will ultimately be rewarded, while at the same time the wicked will face dire consequences.

The end of the chapter puts forth the views on the paradoxes of life where the righteous and the wicked get their just desserts, while at the same time encouraging the people not to overthink the ultimate understanding that lies beyond human reach and into the divine realm.

Respect authority, apply wisdom, find contentment despite uncertainties and injustices and remember; some things are just out of our control. Overall; trust in God’s sovereignty whatever comes your way.

The Truth of the Word.

The Truth of the Word.

God is truth. God’s word is truth. Christ is truth. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. This is what the bible tells us, but how do we know it’s true? We find out by testing God’s word for ourselves. And we can’t test it for a day or two, we have to give it a good few months.

God doesn’t promise to remove our trials, but He does tell us we will overcome them by our faith. Overcoming is used 324 times in the bible. Faith is mentioned 336 times and truth 333 times in the bible and the benefits to the believer are far reaching. God is dependable, promising to set us free from our bondages, preserve us and guide us, establishing in us an everlasting heritage.

Deuteronomy 32:4 A God of truth and without injustice.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…”

John 14:17 states the Spirit of truth… for He dwells in you and will be in you.

Psalm 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth…

Psalm 119:142 tells us God’s laws are true ...and Your law is the truth.

The commandments speak truth, the Gospel is truth, God’s council is truth, His works and His judgements are written to be truth.

The bible is a warning not to depart from these truths, not to allow deception from the enemy, which so easily ensnares us. (Hebrews 12:1)

Satan will inform us we’re unworthy, that God couldn’t love someone like you, you’re too insignificant, so insignificant in fact He wouldn’t even listen to you. Don’t believe these lies from the evil one. Instead, trust in the Truth of His Word, in which it is impossible for God to lie. (Hebrews 6:18)

God is love. Love is mentioned 361 times in the bible. If you’re feeling unworthy or unloved, look for and read these 361 passages from the bible. Don’t listen to that negativity which speaks from your head and dwells in the absence of light. Get into God’s word and find out what the One who cannot lie has to say about you. Then believe it!

All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23.

The Aftermath!

The Aftermath!

Acts Chapter 1.

The “field of blood’ where Judas hung himself, where his insides split open as he fell upon the ground, was also the place of Jewish child sacrifice to the god moloch. Today a Greek Orthodox monastery stands on the site. 

Judas wanted to purchase that field, but another did in the way of the priests. Judas’s place needed to also be filled within the disciples ranks. A bringing back the number of disciples to 12 – a fulfilment of the word brought about in Acts 1:20 (Let another take his office), from the proceeding words written in Psalm 109:8. The number 12 being symbolic of the 12 tribes of Israel in the Old Testament; a knitting together of the old (not to be forgotten) and the new.

That Judas tried to exult himself before the priests, but was brought to nothing. That Judas’ place was also filled amongst the remaining disciples, is a telling reminder that we should not consider ourselves greater than we are, but that we are to remain humble at all times.

Even the enemies of God will be brought down for Jesus knew Judas would betray Him and God worked into this part of the story, a reminder of what happens when we don’t do what’s right in the eyes of God; the lawless disobedience of men is their downfall.

There are many reminders of this kind within the bible. This is particularly important, as it is a continuation from the old into the new, right at the start of the new in Acts 1.

Only when roots are sunk deeply into the word of God, as we consider the deeds of Jesus and His reason for coming to this earth, can we be preserved. As our roots sink and our branches grow, let His words be your hope and strength during the days of trial. Let us keep an invincible, unwavering zeal towards each member of our precious Trinity. Let us not lose our flavour, nor our light, as we encompass all He has for us.

It’s only one step back to repentance. Had Judas repented of his betrayal, God would have forgiven him. But he didn’t repent. Instead he committed suicide. After a misstep, just take that one step back and repent and you will be forgiven and you will go on to live a fruitful life.
