Why Did You Come

“In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea…Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea were going out to him, and all the region along  the Jordan…”

What were you coming to see? What did you expect to hear? What did you need to see? What did you need to hear? So many thousands of years ago, were you all just like me, wanting to know the truth, the secret to living this life, of putting the past back where it belonged, to enjoy the present? To defeat the demons whether real or imagined forever? I know your lives were so much harder than ours. I couldn’t survive then,but you couldn’t survive now so I guess on some invisible plane we are even. But…

Abraham-Hicks taught that feelings are how you know if you are aligned with the purposes of God. Well I chewed that one over and asked God over and over about the validity of such a statement since I had been taught to ignore feelings. But I have found that feelings are indeed a barometer at least for me, and a good one. When am I happiest, most passionate about what I am doing at any given moment? 

Writing makes me happier than anything else. And the feeling here is definitely a barometer. When I  think angry thoughts, steal, lie a little. Rebel a little. Talk about…Laugh at… Ah the barometer. All the actions I have questioned in my past whether justified or not can be labeled good or bad according to feelings. I mean why would the God-created human be born with feelings if they did not have a purpose in themselves? So I go with that.

And Hicks said that if you hold onto a feeling, an emotion for 16 seconds than another emotion just like that one will follow. Isn’t that why bad moods last so long?

So I tried it out yesterday: every time I thought of Risha my old cat dying I would imagine God’s huge white wings wrapped around me protecting me. As I thought of those wings I counted the 16 seconds and then let go of the thought, and the peace remained. All day long I consciously did this, and all day long there was peace. Amazing, I thought. And what else have I missed at Hicks teachings by scoffing and rolling my eyes because she was not a Christian source?

I will not let go of my belief that Jesus is the SON OF GOD in all that I behold that to mean which is much much more than Hicks gave Him credit to be. I believe that “I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

But there is nothing that Hicks says that contradicts my beliefs. I so have to loosen up, listen to others who just may know more or see The Light in a different way. Why did You come? So I have dreams to hold on to, and love to believe in. If the authors I read and the speakers I listen to lead me right back to Your Feet, then yea! Because I don’t want to be tempted to give up what You gave Your Life for.

Jesus you are my everything. You are all that is great and good and will be great and will be good, the source of dreams and expectations, and more, oh much more than just feelings. You are my everything. And Whom I owe everything. I thank You  for coming, for teaching, for displaying the power of God in Your time and in ours and into eternity. I thank You for dying for in your death there was resurrection and ascension and then ascension into my heart where I will treasure You as the pearl of so much great value forever.
