"JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT"
- Joyce (JOY) Be Lynda Russaw
We are on a private journey that leads back to our spiritual home. Some of you are afraid to face the end of this life, but there are many who live each day_in preparation for what comes at that time. For this journey to give you the best it offers, you have 'free-will' to accept Jesus Christ as Lord, or you can choose to follow idol gods. God sent His son to prepare us for what he knows is waiting down the road. When you believe in him, read scripture and pray_ you can establish and maintain your relationship with the Father, and he will be with you- always.
This journey requires patience
In this world you must expect tribulation; the way to heaven lies through it; and you need to be patient under it, not murmuring against God, on the one hand, nor reviling of men, on the other.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Encouragement
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
There are many answers on what it takes to get into heaven. While there is no one thing, that opens that door, According to the Bible, you get to heaven by putting your trust in Jesus Christ and following Him.
Journey for Today
Evil exists because humans have free-will- giving them the freedom to make choices that cause hurt or harm. When tragedy strikes, there are many people who are quick to lay responsibility on God. While bad things can happen when God allows us to exercise our free-will- He is not the source of the evil act. God is love_ only humans have the capacity for evil.
We can avert some evil by being pro-active. But how do we avert disaster, shootings, and lawless-ness today? The soul of humanity needs spiritual intervention. For those who can’t bring themselves to acknowledge God’s omnipotence, you must admit- IF humans had the ultimate power- they would all be billionaires and the world would be as it is today, but worse.. God did not want a world where all people were the same. If everyone had the same thoughts, desires, abilities, talents, it would be a boring life. But I am sure__ God did not give humans “free will’ to do evil, mean, inhumane, acts against other humans. In His infinite wisdom, He knew what mankind was capable of and this was to be part of our journey.
Intentionally doing evil to harm others means you are operating from a dark place. The darkness that ignores the teachings of Jesus Christ is satanic. It is done by people who have given their soul to satan. While it is Christian-like to turn the other cheek and forget the intentional wrongs perpetrated against people of color_ they don’t have Alzheimer’s nor are they Jesus Christ. As good as humans can be about forgiveness, the guilty must work to deserve it because some things are difficult to forgive or move on from.
Some atrocities against humanity, only God can judge.
- “free will,” should be done from a Godly place.
It was a gift from God… to be used for good.
And so it is_
Welcome to Journey With Spirit, known as JWS. This journey began many years ago when I began my career at General Motors Corporation.
