Living-By-Faith-Is-Living-In-Miracles

If money really matters to you, then earn more . To earn more, capitalize on the skills you already have, enhance and improve them, and look for better and richer employment. In addition, there are likely many other skills you may possess that cannot be or have not been fully maximized or utilized wherever you are working. Then, harness those skills and capitalize on them through doing some freelance work on the side to maximize your current income. If, on the other hand, you do not have the basic skills, and you do not want to learn and acquire them, and yet you always crave money and wealth, then your cravings are only your money fantasies . What are money fantasies? Only your money wisdom can separate your money fantasies from the money realities. There was the story of a beautiful and sophisticated woman in her mid-twenties who wrote to an investment counseling company looking for a list of eligible bachelors with earnings of at least $600,000 a year. That wo...

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”  - Napoleon Hill The wisdom is that an adversity may be a blessing in disguise. Worse, if one dwells on the adversity, one may attract more adversities. The Law of Attraction is about energy attraction: positive energies attracting positive energies, and the same for negative energies. This revolutionary concept has been exponentially popularized by the film "The Secret" as well as by the bestseller book and other related publications across the Internet. Is the Law of Attraction a myth of the mind or a reality in real life? Can the Law of Attraction really help your healing from rsdiseases and disorders? Say, when an individual is diagnosed with cancer, that individual often becomes obsessed with anxiety about its treatment options as well as the prognosis of the disease. Obsession with cancer may internalize it into self-doubt and even fear. If an indi...

  Be Your True Self As you continue your life journey, always look forward, instead of looking backward with regret and remorse. Don’t ever wish you were someone else; always be your true self. Life is about experiences, which are composed of thoughts of those experiences. According to   James Allen , author of   As A Man Thinketh , men are “makers of themselves” and the human mind is the “master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.” Accordingly, you have become who you are and what you have by way of your own thinking over the years; in short, you are the sum of your own thoughts. So, life is about mind over matter. To fully harness your mind power, first of all, you need to fully understand the role of the mind and   how   your mind works, so that it may work for you, instead of against you; and then learn the strategies to fully utilize your mind power. The brain is composed of grey matters and neurons or nerve...

“Life begets death; one is inseparable from the other. One is form; the other is formless. Each gives way to the other. One third of people focus on life, ignoring death. One third of people focus on death, ignoring life. One third of people think of neither, just drifting along. They all suffer in the end.         Trusting the Creator, we have no illusion about life and death. Holding nothing back from life, we are ready for death, just as a man ready for sleep after a good day’s work.” (Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching , chapter 50) “Abiding in the Creator, we do not fear death. Following the conditioned mind, we fear everything. Fear is a futile attempt to control things and people. Death is a natural destination of the Way. Unnatural fear of death does more harm than good.” (Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching , chapter 74) Dying and Beyond On the final journey, with acceptance of the inevitable fate, there is usually no anger ...

Lack of accountability to God for what you’ve been doing to your marriage and your marriage partner is one of the reasons why divorce is rampant these days. You’re living in a world in which injustice and vengeance are rampant. Living in the midst of this storm of unfairness may cause you unhappiness and even your own lack of faith in God. But seeing the lack of accountability in others should, on the contrary, enhance your own accountability not only in your marriage but also in your everyday living. God is forever just and will bring judgment and justice to all—at His own timeline. An illustration In 1984,  Archbishop Valerian Trifa  was deported from the United States after being accused of being a Nazi supporter, who not only had incited attacks on Jews, but also was responsible for executing many Jews in World War II. After World War II, the former Nazi supporter came to the United States as a refugee immigrant. He assumed the name of Valerian Tri...

Sloth is laziness, which is a mental struggle that some teens  may experience as they grow up in their transition phase, or even some adults when they feel they've nothing worth doing.  Sloth can be habit-forming in not doing daily things that  they’re supposed to do, such as learning and helping the family or others who need their help. Sloth is due to many factors: anxiety, fear, and worry about the consequences of the doing; not having adequate sleep; not knowing how to manage time; seeing a meaningless life ahead without a purpose. Parents should set a plan of duty and obligation for their children—a plan to do certain daily chores in the family, such as cleaning and sweeping the floor. Teaching children their own responsibility and commitment, as well as their life goals and values, such as helping others and being compassionate. Teenagers growing up in their transition phase should willingly limit their screen time on their electronic devices, and practice certain...

WHO IS THE DEVIL?  Satan is the devil.  In the Bible, the human “flesh” is where Satan drives humans to oppose and disobey God.   Those who live according to their  flesh have their  devil in  their  minds to gratify their flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.  The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life. Satan is a liar who works on the human mind to create all the wants and desires in humans that always blind the eyes of unbelievers, making them not seeing the ultimate truths of all things. “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 Satan creates doubt about the Word of God in vulnerable circumstances, such as anger, frustration, and loneliness. To fight against Sa...

The human body has built-in body wisdom that keeps it young and healthy, that is, an innate awareness of its basic needs, as well as its warning signs and signals of internal disharmony that may lead to imminent disease and disorder. Therefore, wisdom is required to enhance this human consciousness to create a new environment in which the biochemistry of the body becomes the substance of awareness of beliefs, emotions, and thoughts, thereby instrumental in maintaining and sustaining the overall wellness of an individual to remain disease-free as much as and as long as possible. Body wisdom is no more than everyday eating and living habits. Eating is a science, and living is an art; they complement each other, just as "yin" and "yang" do. Human wisdom is, essentially, the capability in creating and managing this art and science to live a better and a longer life. Ancient wisdom plays a pivotal role in aging. Ancient wisdom, however, is not the same as contemporary wi...

The Discovery and the Recovery Hippocrates  (460 - 370 B.C),  the father of medicine, once said: “Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.” Take a step further: Let food be the “only” medicine. If you have developed a degenerative disease, start thinking of food as your medicine, in fact, the best medicine, if not the “only” medicine. Your body is designed to digest and utilize food to get its nutrients and energy. But only wholesome food can do just that—not even supplements, because all supplements are just what they are called. If food is the “only” medicine for you, you will empower yourself with knowledge about food, and you will then pursue a proper diet with high quality, non-toxic, and nutritious food. That means, you will refrain from eating the commercially-prepared and chemically-loaded food obtainable at supermarkets. When food becomes the “only” medicine, you will also learn to trust your body; that is, you will learn what your body is tel...
