"JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT"
- Joyce (JOY) Be Lynda Russaw
We are on a spiritual journey, living in a world filled with energy. This positive/negative energy affects each person and you decide the kind of energy you invite to reside in your soul.
Spiritual energy is to be nurtured daily. Soul Food comes through communion with the Holy Spirit. We feed our soul through scripture reading, prayer, and meditation. If you invite Christ into your heart, you have chosen the earths' positive energy. If you deny Christ as Lord, you have chosen the darker energy of satan. The evil of the world begins in the negative spirit.
I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and practice my spirituality as a Christian. I blend the culture of my ancestors into my meditation and prayer ritual.
What a rich legacy to be the beneficiary of the African and Native Indian bloodline.
I am Joy Belynda Russaw-Browne, author.
I pray, Lord, for the homes in this beloved country. Without Your love and wisdom guiding us, our society will crumble.
“There is sin in their homes, and they are polluted to
the depths of their souls. But I will call upon the Lord to save me—and he
will.”
—Psalm 55:15,16 (TLB)
The broken home has become the number one social problem of America, and could ultimately lead to the destruction of our civilization. Since the basic unit of any society is the home, when the home begins to break, the society is on the way to disintegration. It is a threat to the American way of life. It does not make screaming headlines; but, like termites, it is eating away at the heart and core of the American structure.
It is high time that our so-called experts on marriage, the family, and the home turn to the Bible. We have read newspaper columns and listened to counselors on the radio; psychiatrists have had a land-office business. In it all, the One who performed the first marriage in the Garden of Eden and instituted the union between man and wife has been left out.
-Rev. Billy Graham
We as Christians are fighting a spiritual war. Prayer and scripture are the weapons God promised would defeat the devil on earth _and protect our souls. When you examine current events, along with human behavior toward other humans, you see that many of us are not actively living a Christian life. There are weak souls that succumb to enticements that appear attractive, but the consequences of giving your soul to satan will lead to the day when you are called into account_ and your debt must be paid.
We understand the benefits of being a devoted follower/believer in Jesus Christ, and we will one day stand in judgment for the path of our journey. We are not deluded into thinking that hell is a cool place to spend eternity, and even if there is a wee bit of doubt- as you move into the winter years of life, like a flowing river trying to return home, you begin to see God and heaven in a different light.
The natural instinct of ‘wanting to return to the one who gave you life’ Kick in. Before returning to the earth_ life flashes before you, all your wrongs, shoulda’s, and didn’t- stirs regret. . and you wish you had lived differently.
It is still time to accept Jesus Christ into your life.
