when we are happy, we feel it in more ways than one? We are mentally at ease, we are physically feeling well, our spirits are lifted and sometimes it can tingle or just be a surge of warmth, or an over all peaceful feeling. We smile and laugh. And we eminate this aura out into the air that others will pick up on.
In the other way, have you ever walked into a room where people were just fighting, and felt the tension in the air? Same thing. People respond to these things even though they can't be seen. This is energy at work, and it is our spirit that picks up on it. Words, thoughts, feelings, are all forms of energy being used in different ways. Anger and hurtful words and thoughts of revenge are thrown around when people argue or fight. This is chucked out there in the room with them.

As soon as the words leave their mouth, the energy that carried the words is mixed with the universal and ever surrounding energy that's already there. The feeling of anger is projected out into the room as soon as it was ignited. It lingers in the air, like a foul stench. We are all made up of energy and this is why we sense it when we walk into that room. Our inner self or spirit picks up on that. Our physical self picks up on how the people act toward each other, what their facial expressions are, how their words are directed. But our spirit, our inner self/inner energy picks up on the other things that can't be seen. The other energies in that room.

This is how energy works. Prayers are our best use of this energy. Now think of, if you directed that energy into something or a room, or someone. If you purposely sent love (the most powerful energy!) to someone. Something would happen. We've already been shown how that works in the 'tension in the air' story. Imagine constantly sending loving thoughts and feelings into your home. If you did this in each room, this is what is going to be felt in the air. Add flowers or pictures, anything that will make you happy and feel peace and Love (God) each time you enter the room. And each time you enter there, and feel that love, it is strengthened, both in the room and within yourself.

When we pray, we are actually sending out energy. We connect, visualize or say our intentions or requests, build that energy (remember thoughts, words and feelings are energy), direct it and send it out. These prayers are heard. This is the personal part of God. He hears all our prayers. He doesn't turn a deaf ear to us, even though many of us, many times, do just that to Him. That's what sets God as God. No other will ever compare to Him. No other has the power or Unconditional Love that He does. Why go to any other to fulfill our prayers? They don't know what truly lies in our hearts, in our minds, our souls. They don't know what we are deserving of & what we a re not. They don't know that if they help you to get lots of money, that you will become hardened & treat others with no respect. They'll give it to you anyway. Who cares if you turn into a jerk. They don't. They don't know that if they helped to bring that person back into your life that hit you once before & said bad things to you everyday was going to kill you the next time they got drunk or angry. But God would've known. You could've asked Him for a partner that knew whow to love & would appreciate you for you. You could've asked Him to fill your life with love & help lead you in a direction to where you may find a special someone. You can ask Him these things. If you don't have a partner & want one, but never seem to be able to find a good one, stop for a moment. There are reason's why you are not drawing love into your life.
There are many things we do that push love away from us. Knowingly or unknowingly. Plus, many people out there don't have pure love, unconditional love. They have their own terms of love. They love certain types of people or things that appeal to THEM. They do not know yet, how to love purely, without judgement or labels. Why do we try to receive love from these types of people? We cannot change them, and I don't care who you are, how good you think you are, you can NOT change a person. They must do it on their own. They must choose to have love or not have love. To let that love be pure, or not. You can pray for them, that they may be open to realizing how helpful you can be, how wonderful a person you think you may be. But if they continue to give no signs of Good love, walk away. You will merely be wasting your energy. They do NOT want to change, so they won't. They do not wish to be healed, so they won't be. That's the free will that God gave us. Our own ability to make choices. To decide to live in God, or not. He will not force this on anybody. That person must want His help. It is their own personal decision.

When we pray to others, who don't know us, no matter who they say THEY are. Even Mary, the Mother of Jesus, doesn't know what is truly in our hearts. Only God. The 'saints & angels', they don't either. gods/goddesses, they don't know either. Why go to someone for help with your life, if you don't even know who they are? If they don't even know you? They aren't able to see what is truly in your heart, mind & spirit, and vice versa, we are not able to know who they truly are, what their true intentions really are. Many of us say one thing just so someone else doesn't find out another thing. If spirit hasn't learned to overcome this, then spirit will always be this way, whether it's your spirit or someone else's.

I was sent the following in an email. As I read it, I thought of something. I had thought of this before, but it just hit me differently today. It had a much more deeper impact today. Read it, and then I'd like to share my thought with you. Possibly you thought the same thing.....

Latest Patron Saints: In November, the Russian Orthodox Church named the apostle Matthew as the patron saint of the country's tax police, who the church felt needed an image boost because they resemble SWAT teams, dressing in black masks as they barge into businesses to audit them. And in October, the Vatican announced a patron saint for politicians (St. Thomas More of England, who was beheaded in 1535), the latest of nearly 300 named by Pope John Paul II. Vatican observers believe St. Isidore of Seville will soon be named patron saint of the Internet.

My Thoughts...

It isn't the modernizing of religion that got me, which is still something that does bother me, but more of the fact that this is a religion that preaches very strongly and has even killed because of it, the fact that 'God said' we can't be involved with funny gods/goddesses, etc... but yet, they can use the saints? Isn't this very act taking away from God? The very Being that they hold in the highest esteem, Ruler of everything, and "only have trust and faith in God"? Yet, they are using the same exact type of spiritual aids as Wiccans do, there are just different names for the same beings. It has been proven that the names on the statues of these gods & goddesses that were worshipped, when taken over by the Catholic church, were scratched off. Added to these statues were the names of angels & saints. Already proven!! And yet the church is trying & has succeeded a great deal, to teach people to pray to them. We need to remember that their were angels that were cast out of Heaven. Angels, yes angels, the beautiful beings of light created by God, there were many, many of them that chose to rebel against God with Lucifer (Satan, the devil, etc..). They were cast out of Heaven. Guess where they took up residence? Right here, this beautiful planet we call Earth. Satan has full control here, this is his world, not ours. We didn't take care of this place like we should have, and that caused disease & evil things to grow out of it.He has control of the air, our atmosphere. All those neat little UFO's and angel sightings going on, Satan has full control over them. So who do you think those beings are going to belong to? Must I say?

All the religions that are not of God & Jesus Christ, mainstreamed from one place. One origin. And this has been proven also. These other erligions all originated from Babylon. The very place that Satan took up residence in to bring about his kingdom on earth. Over time, these religions were spread to the corners of the world. People tried to incorporate these practices & beliefs into their lives. It was made to look good, Get what you want, when you want it. All you have to do is worship some being that hasn't told us anything about themselves, their origin, their long-run intentions. We don't know who or what we are putting our faith & trust in. Our devotion, our love. This is not right. There is only One that we know. One that has come clean with everything about Himself. One who told us exactly who He is & what His intentions are. He's the one that even told us all about Satan, Satan didn't. Hell, he wouldn't! We wouldn't be misled by him if he did. He wouldn't have anybody in his kingdom. He wouldn't have an army to try & overthrow Heaven, his main & only intention. The Revelations & any Scripture that talks about the Second Coming, Satan is petrified of because he know what is written. There's no way that he is going to allow that type of information out in his world. He would be no more, he can't have that. He is driven by one determination only. For the shot to ruin God. If he can reel us in & make us worship him to such extents that we will turn away from God even when He is right in front of us with His Love in hand, then he will fell as if he won. He feels that he will have enough souls to overthrow God from His thrown & rule in His place. This, we already know is an impossibility. God created Lucifer & God can take him away. We were never a factor with Satan. He never cared about us, only himself & overthrowing God. That's it. He didn't try to 'stick up for us', as many would have us believe. He wasn't there saying "hey, let them alone. Let them live how they want to live. You gave them life, don't condition it". He never made any such attempt to 'stand up for us'. We were diluted into thinking this, by him. Let us think that he needs us & that he has our best intentions in mind, that he might actual have some pull to give us more than God could.

This is one of his great illusions. He has put many illusions out in the world for us, to trick us, to take us away from God. I used to think for years, that even though people pray to these beings, if they are for the Good of All & Harm none, what is wrong? I used to think that if these other spirits said that they were working for the Good of All & harm to none, then it would be ok. The only thing that Satan & his followers won't admit to is accepting Jesus as their Lord & Saviour. That He is God's only begotten Son. That He is the way to Salvation for our souls. Satan will not admit this. Nor will his followers. They will lie about everything else. They will even lie about their appearance. Remember, never judge by outer appearances alone, they can be misleading. They can hide the true being that is inside, whether it is a good or bad being. Antichrist is already showing himself in many different forms, but never as he truly is. This is a load of B.S. to me. Jesus didn't play such tricks. he never changed physical appearance like that. He had nothing to hide. A lady was contacting, "channeling" spirits. She specifically asked for Jesus & Mary as her guides, thinking that if she specifically made her intent, she would get it, whether she needed, deserved it or not. After years of contacting 'Jesus & Mary', all of a sudden, she decided to ask them to show their true selves. She must've been enlightened in order for her to do this. God gave her the information that she DID need, not what she wanted. She did this nonetheless, and sure enough, the beings, demons I should say, showed their true form and they weren't who she believed & was told, that they were. Their appearance changed dramatically & formed into what she described as a werewolf looking beast. So, as we can see, not everything is at it semms with worldly things. Only God never waivers from His promises, from His intentions, from what H e tells us. He always tells the truth because He is Truth. This is why we should only direct our prayers to Him & no other. Mary knows that we are not supposed to worship or pray to any other. Do you really think she is going to be there participating in such things that she knows full well are not of God? Absolutely not. She was chosen to have a virginal birth to bring Jesus into our lives. Her heart was this pure to have been able to receive such a blessing. If God knew she could become tainted so easily, she would not have been chosen. Jesus specifically always said to worship God & no other. He never said to pray to Him or to worship Him. He merely said to follow Him for His ways were the ways of the One True God. Through following His lead, His example, we could find Salvation in God. When God sent angels to deliver messagees & the epople kneeled before them in worship, in praise, they specifically told them to get up, do NOT worship us, you worship God. Why do we still not get it? Because we want to do, hear & learn what sounds good to us. What looks good to us. We don't even know who we are half the time, never mind know what's perfectly correct for us, for our spiritual growth towards attaining salvation, life with God & His Eternal Love. Half of us don't even believe we have a soul or spirit, never mind recognize it. Let all of your cares, worries, troubles of the world & prayers be given unto God. This is what He asked us to do. This is how we were supposed to live & sustain ourselves & His love in our lives. And we didn't want to listen. We allowed ourselves to be persuaded by outer appearances & weakened by our own selfishness & lack of awareness.

"Seek and ye shall find." If you don't look for Him, or ask for the help, you will elude yourself from Him. God will not interefere with our free will. A gift He gave us. It may seem like a curse at times, but it truly is a gift. To make our own decisions & learn our own lessons at our own pace. To be able to choose those lessons on our own. This is very much responsibility, something that, evidentally & unfortunately, most of us aren't mature enough to handle. Let your free will help you to choose a path of God. You can achieve more riches & blessings this way than you've ever dreamed possible. If you need to work with others in order to help you achieve this, do it. But make sure you are consulting with others that are working for God's Will. We can go directly to God for this, but over the years, fears have been instilled in us that prevent us from coming forward to Him. That cause us to think that He will not be personal with us as an individual because we are so bad. But He loves us all & knows each and every one of us. He knows how hard we try, how much we love & how much we hurt. He loves us & He hurts when we hurt, just like any loving parent would/should. But we all agreed that we would do it on our own and only have Him intervene if we needed & asked.

If you have a need to make contact with other spirits other than God/Goddess, please do so cautiously, protectively & lovingly. You don't have to make contact with ANY other spirit. God/Goddess can & will help you if you ask. And this way, where only God knows what is truly inside our hearts, only God knows what we truly need to benefit from & grow stronger as a spiritual being, then this is who we should go to for the help. Others out there that may not know what you or someone else really needs can put setbacks in your pathway. You may want riches beyond your wildest dreams. The spirit on the left will help you with this, but may not know deep inside, that this is NOT going to be good for you. This type of help may make you a miserable & greedy person. They did not know this, they just wanted to help you. With God, He KNOWS that you will become a miserable person & that is not supposed to be part of your advancing path, so He doesn't quite give you riches beyond your wildest dreams just yet. First, He may help you to strengthen your spirit, your heart, your lovingness. Then He may take you away from a place that is not helping you on your correct path. And maybe there are people around you that are hurting you, so He will help you to strengthen yourself to get out of these situations or the strength & knowledge to recognize the alternative path He opened for you. You may not want it & you don't have to take it, but if you trust in God, ask Him for help, be appreciative of all that He has given to you, no matter how crappy it may look on the outside. He knows what you will truly benefit from. Always remember to thank Him. He does His best to bring out the best in all of us. Blessed Be ~
