I can see now the strength of the spirit and it's everlasting qualities. The spirit is forever and the flesh is only temporary. From the spirit, the flesh was created. The spirit keeps us alive. The spirit connects us to our God. Our God has made us into his image by his spirit. His spirit gave us life. He has place his spirit inside all of us and that spirit shall never die.
Death has no lasting hold on me because God's spirit is inside me. No weapon made can destroy my spirit. My flesh will die but my spirit will live on. Unconquerable, mighty and strong I am for God's spirit cannot perish.
I can see through the darkness. I can see through the pain and sorrow. The flesh is dying and the spirit is growing stronger. From the cocoon the spirit pushes out and goes toward God. Whatever pain and suffering has occurred, whoever has felt the pain of death and whatever torment the soul has experienced, through the spirit the hand of God can wipe it all away.
God's spirit is an ocean to which our spirit pours into. God is like a bulb and we are like the flower in due season we will return to our life source. There in that perfect light of God our spirit shall live forever.

Where is the True Church of God?
I have looked at many different denominations and many believe they to be the true church of God. I have tried in vein to find a church filled with wise men, apostles, angelic beings or just perfect men and women. In my labor I only found ordinary people like me. Where then is the true church of God?
I prayed to God to show me his church. It seem to me that God kept silent however in this silence an answer was coming through. My eyes began to see and my mind began to understand. The true church of God was made up of ordinary people like me. They are imperfect and have problems too. They try their best to find the right way to go and no matter how many years of worship they still need help once in awhile. We all fall short of the glory of the Lord and ever so often need his help and mercy.
I believe those in the true church of God are lovers of righteousness. They are loyal to their God. These are the children of God who are obeying his voice and doing his will. I know they reflect his ways in everything that they do.
Who are in the true church of God? All those believing in the name of Jesus Christ and are showing God's love to one another. They are the ones who God has chosen by his mercy to enter into his kingdom. They are the ones who loves their God more than themselves. They are the ones who are true to his word. The ones who will be included in God's church are the ones with a whole lot of love within their hearts and the willingness to do the work of the Lord.
You see the true church of God is not a place. It is a world wide church consisting of many loyal followers. Even within the church where we are now going, there will be ones chosen by him and ones who will be rejected by him. God will judge our hearts and not by the place where we are in.
Our love is what separates us from others. Our love originated from our God. It is the kind of love that Jesus Christ carried with him upon the cross. The love within our hearts identifies us as God's children. Those who have the love of God inside them make up his church.
Where are these people of God's church? Look around you. Look around in your community. You will know them when you listen to them. Study God's word the Bible and it will tell you more about them. These people of God are a blessing to the human race. Gentle in their ways. Loving in their hearts and powerful in spirit. These are God's children of paradise and the true church of God.

The Highest Order of Work that I Could Ever Do
What are we doing with our lives? What are we accomplishing for ourselves and our world? Many hours I have spent working only for money, only for pay. Nothing in our world never changed as I worked. The time I spent was only for my material wants and needs. This kind of work will continue until I die. Is there not more for me to do than only to work so to survive?
There was something that my eyes could not see but my mind was comprehending. A veil was lifting and I could see the true work before me. It is a work of the highest order. It is the best and the most meaningful work that I could ever do. It is a work that is second to none and most ignored.
The highest order of work is the building up the human heart and the human mind. It is making the people of our world into the image of Christ, heirs to his kingdom and brothers and sisters unto our Lord. Yes the work is to reclaim our entire world and cleansing it in the Lord's spirit and bathing it in his love.
To many times I have ignored this great work of change. I got so lost in my everyday activities. I had little time to do anything else. I saw my world rotting away and I did not know what to do. A darkness lied around me and there was only a little light shining through. My eyes were getting to accustom to the dark but deep within, my soul felt sick. My mind and my heart knew there was much more to life than this. Like a sleeping man I was waking up from my slumber.
I thought to myself what if men and women were more like the angels of heaven and treating each other with love and kindness. Is it beyond our capabilities? I said to myself, "No it is not." People can be different than what they are. Generation after generation does not have to pass down to each other the worst of themselves but their best. It is within our abilities to show compassion to one another. Nothing is impossible if we do not let our minds think it is so.
The highest order of work is changing ourselves and thus changing our world around us. Nothing you could do in your lifetime could be any greater than this. One step towards heaven is one step towards a life in paradise. It is a step towards a new world and a new place to be.
Men and women awake to that light within you and open your eyes to that new world that could be around you. Dream the best dream and live as though it could be true. Never give it up for it could be possible. Do the work then live that dream.
Our greatest work is our greatest hope for our world, united we would be in peace and in love. Making our world into heaven what more could you dream of, what more could you want? We would have nothing to fear again and nothing to feel sorry about. Our home would be a place of peace and a place of rejoicing. The spirit of God would be close to us all the time.
Beautiful souls with a spirit like an angel. Our world would be blessed. What is keeping us from having this glorious future? The answer I believe is each of us. Our voices sound not like angels but like serpents. Our hands are not open to welcome a brother but closed around a rock. Our hearts are not filled with love but with anger and conflict. What is preventing us from having heaven? Ourselves.
The work, the work why is it not being done more? What have we found to be better?

Never Does a Dime Equal a Dollar
I am given a dime and the world expects back a dollar. I have grown to be in debt because dimes I have but dollars I am lacking. Ten dimes to a dollar you may say but I cannot compensate when every dime is equal to a dollar of debt.
Why do they only give me a dimes worth and they charge me a dollar? It is so unfair.

Love, Because You Can
Love without expectations. Just love because you can. Love is without fear. Love is about taking risks. Love is not about fear of failing. It is about doing what is right. Love is an expression of our spirit and it is apart of us.
To not to love is like not using your legs or hands. It is like not using apart of you. We may get around in life without using our hands or legs but not very good. It is the same with our love. We can live our life without giving or receiving love but our life will never be quite complete. To live our life as it was meant to be, we have to use everything that God has given us including our love.
So love, because it is apart of you and love, just because you can.

The Spirit, Freedom from Law
There are laws for the flesh. Those who live by the flesh need laws but those living by the spirit no longer need laws. If I live by the flesh then I need laws for my own sake for without law how would I know right from wrong. Break the law and be punished or live within the law and be free. If I live within the law I should be safe and those around me likewise. The law governs and protects our flesh.
There are many different governments and many different laws, laws that are created by imperfect men. If the men are crooked then we will have crooked laws. If they are just then we will have justice. Wherever their mind and their heart leads them is the way that they will go. If we live by the flesh then our flesh will lead our way.
According to Galatians 5:22,23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." If we walk by the spirit the law of the flesh will become obsolete. For who will be doing the crime and from where will the grievances come? The law will not be needed if all of us live by the spirit and not by the flesh. There are no laws against love, joy, peace, kindness and goodness. The spirit is truly free from law. Those who walk by spirit are free from the laws that are upon the flesh for there are no restrictions at all on the ways of the spirit. Freedom from law is living by the spirit.
Jesus Christ long ago told us to walk according to the spirit and not by the flesh. Those of us who really know about life knows his words are true. In the kingdom that he has promised us the courts will stand empty. Our flesh will be ruled by the spirit bringing to an end the laws ruling over the flesh. Fairness will be a common practice ruling out the need for justice. People will give freely from their hearts creating an abundance for all. By the love of God and by the love out of our on hearts a perfect world will be born. A world that no longer needs law.
Today people are still closing their hearts to the spirit and clinging tightly to passions and desires of the their flesh. Laws are still needed for the spirit has yet to take complete control. When will people ever learn that God's way is the superior way to live? It is a way for us to grow beyond the condition that we are in. It is a way to freedom over our flesh. In the end the world without law will be the perfect world of God's spirit.
