Become Enlightened

Become Enlightened
The other day I had a meeting on the web with a few friends We are planning our class reunion and since no two people were ever available at the same time, we decided to set up a CHAT group and meet over the web
It was a lot of fun and exciting This got me curious about CHAT rooms so I later signed into a Christian chat room to see what the hoopla was all about regarding these chat rooms Although I have been on the web for almost ten years, I’ve never ventured into a chat room Need less to say, there weren’t very much Christianity going on in that chat room
One person, with a rather strange handle, which I cannot remember right now, questioned whether or not there actually was a God He stated that
with so much evil going on in the world, it led him to question God’s existence
Later, after signing off, I thought about what “strange handle” said about the evil in the world Of course, God has nothing to do with the evil
but it got me to thinking about all of the people who are so “Unenlightened”
Even people who are Christian are oftentimes “unenlightened” by a true understanding of how God works in their life
Because I teach how to discover God’s purpose for your life, I want to talk about how unenlightened we are when it comes to the type of work we choose or the profession we decide to go into
We allow the economy to dictate what type of job we accept as opposed to what type of career God has chosen for us
We continue on a job that is not fulfilling because we like the people we work with or we are just so happy that we have a job because we always hear how “there are no jobs out there”
So, we continue to stay unhappy or unfulfilled because we are unenlightened about how God works in our life
Let me try and break down my understanding of how God works in our lives:
At birth, you are born with a soul, which has a seed already set to grow inside of us This seed is your life’s purpose
As a child, we are close to God Whether or not someone in our lives teaches us about Him or not, we have an understanding and a closeness with God
As we grow older, if we seek out a relationship with God, He will grow closer to us
If you consult with God before making any decisions in your life, you will never be led astray
What often happens is we decide to take control of our lives instead of allowing God to control our lives and we oftentimes mess up because we
are human and that’s what human’s do
Because we take control and make our own decisions, we are led astray and find ourselves in jobs or in careers that just don’t settle right with our souls
Our souls were given a mission at birth and we have not followed our mission and allowed our souls to grow
The closer we draw to God, the more unsettled we will feel on our jobs or in our careers that are not aligned with our soul
When it gets to the point where we simply cannot take it any longer, when going to the office literally makes us sick to the stomach, or when simply getting out of bed in the morning becomes a task; we start looking for
answers
We start seeking out the truth We start seeking out knowledge
But having the knowledge and understanding of the truth is absolutely nothing until you put it into action
Yes, it is a bit scary at first
I don’t know anyone who has made changes in their lives and wasn’t a bit scared in the beginning But the more you learn, the more you grow Start off small Learn every day
Constantly seek out wisdom and understanding Take it one day at a time If you simply put one foot in front of the other, soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put your faith and believe with all your heart that God is guiding you, guiding your ways, guiding your day; guiding your hours If you truly believe this and learn to listen to your soul there is absolutely nothing
to stop you from accomplishing God’s goals for your life
Leaving a job that you hate and starting your own business will seem like a breeze Quitting a job that pays good money but isn’t aligned with your
soul, will become easy to do
God will guide you down the right path Remember, HE is the one that gave you this purpose HE is the one who decided what you should do with your life There’s a reason why you are here and HE is the one
that created that reason Wouldn’t it only make sense that HE would want you to be successful at it?
NOTE: This is very important If you don’t remember anything else you’ve read in this newsletter remember this: TO GOD GOES ALL THE GLORY When you reach a goal or receive an accomplishment, give God the glory Thank HIM for all He has done for you in your life All God wants from us is acknowledgement and thanks
Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart… In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths
Action Point: For this week, consult with God before making any decisions Before you go to bed at night, say your prayers and give thanks for all the blessings you’ve received that day
Ask God what you should do the next day to bring you closer to your goal
Then sit and listen
Listen to your soul
Grab a piece of paper and write down your thoughts This list will be your “To Do” list for the next day
Then go to sleep
While you are in the state right before you actually doze off, concentrate on the task you have to do the next day
Visualize yourself accomplishing all the things you have written down on your “To Do” list
Thank God, in advance, for allowing you to complete your entire list
Then, get a good night sleep
If you do this often enough, you will have accomplished and completed all of the goals you have set for yourself and will be living your life’s purpose
