God’s
Blueprint For Living
[Part Two]
[***Please read part 1 of
this teaching or you will not understand part 2.]
You should remember that we ended part 1 of this teaching with the
young man who had purchased some flowers for his girlfriend on his way home
from work. Because he was giving to his
girlfriend, many of the negative thoughts that he thought she was thinking
about him seemed to just go away. This
is another great principle in the Word of God.
I am not going to quote any Scriptures pertaining to this
principle. You may want to look up some
of them on your own. Remember, you must
get on your own with God and not only depend upon my teachings.
Blueprint: Giving equals
receiving.
Because this believer had blessed his girlfriend with a gift that she
did not expect, he experienced healing in his mind pertaining to negative
thoughts that we discussed in part 1.
This law of Giving equals Receiving is a major law of God’s Word. If everyone knew that what they gave out,
came back to them, everyone would stop doing wrong things to each other. The world would be like a perfect world. Remember, if you choose to hurt someone,
especially an innocent person, you will pay for that deed about 10 times over. Back to our believer.
Our believer is someone that we made up for this teaching. Let’s now say that this believer spent some
time with his girlfriend and he is about to head home. What should he feel and what should he be
searching for when he gets to his home?
He had a good day and he stayed in fellowship with God and what he would
really like is for a few hours is of peace and quiet.
Blueprint:
And above all these things put
on charity [the love of God
in the renewed mind in manifestation], which is the
bond of perfectness. -- Colossians 3: 14
We must take notice that this believer did put on charity. He walked with God all day long and now he is
to receive the rewards of his efforts.
The next verse points out one of those rewards.
Blueprint: And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in
one body; and be thankful. -- Colossians 3: 15
We had previously discussed that this believer, who had a very full
day, came home searching for peace and quiet.
He will find that peace, quiet and relaxation by one of 5 methods or
means. Some of you may remember that I
did a specific teaching on the 5 ways to relax.
This believer can relax by either listening to music, reading the Bible,
via humor, through sleep, or spending some time in nature. In this situation, our believer would probably
relax by listening to music or taking some more time to read his Bible. The point I am trying to get across is that
our believer, in this teaching, because of his actions during the day, is going
to get blessed. God will show him ways
to relax and to have some peace and quiet.
I want you to also notice that one of the main blueprints for living is
to walk with the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. Here is something that should shake you
up. The love of God never fails. Can you imagine that?
Blueprint: Charity
[the
love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation] never
faileth; -- I Corinthians 13: 8a
Every time you operate the love of God, it will never fail. Whatever you’re trying to accomplish that’s
done with the love of God, it will absolutely come to pass. We are walking today with about 10% of the
power that we have as a result of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us. Think about that for a while. The enemy who is Satan and is presently the god
of this world, talks us out of using our power.
He whispers in your ear and he says to you “Oh, you can’t do that. Listen to what your religious leaders are
telling you. They teach you that Jesus
Christ is God. Listen to them. The Bible is a book of fictitious letters
written by men.” And when you listen to
his voice, Satan will steal kill and destroy you. That is all that he does.
Just recently I received a letter from a tremendous believer that
actually watches my site and makes sure that all the teachings are there. And recently, and for no logical reason at
all, all my teachings in the Advanced category just got up and disappeared. If it weren’t for this blessed believer
notifying me that this had taken place, I would never have corrected that category
as quickly as we did. There are so many
teachings on this website that I cannot keep track of everything all of the
time. But you have to look at one
principle. This was not my fault. Whose fault was it? I blame the god of this world. He has the power to do things that people
would never imagine. He hates this
website – he hates it with all of his might.
It is the rightly divided Word of God that defeats him. Because I myself manifest the love of God in
the renewed mind in manifestation, God made sure that my peace and quiet and
relaxation came back to me soon by receiving a message telling me that there
was a serious problem. We fixed it in a
few hours and we still have no idea in the world how it happened or how it
could even happen. The love of God never
fails. God had somebody looking out for
me who wrote a simple letter and that was the beginning of the end of the
adversary’s game with this website. I
get excited. I can’t help it. It’s a beautiful thing that you must
experience in your life.
It’s time now to shift gears. I
am going to move away from the schedule of our imaginary believer for the time
being. However, the principal I am about
to share with you does apply to our believer and to every believer that walks
on the face of this earth. This
principle set me free in many, many ways and I am sure it will do the same
thing for you. You definitely need to
understand what I am about to teach you. It will allow you more freedom and a
much closer relationship with God.
You may want to say this to me: ‘Hey, I don’t have a nice girl and if I did I
would buy her some jewelry and not some flowers that will wither away shortly. Also, I don’t have a job that I can enjoy.’ That is perfectly okay. This is all part of the renewed mind and that
is a difficult process.
Blueprint: The
renewed mind. I
BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable [religious] service. --
Romans 12: 1
Blueprint: And
be not conformed [fashioned] to this world; but be
transformed [transfigured] by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God. -- Romans 12: 2
In the first place, God does not want us to conform to this world. Here is where we must find the proper balance
between living in this world, but not conforming to it. This is where you may experience some
difficulty. For example. I do not
believe that speed limits are correct in most areas. Man is basically very lazy and he will simply
not change speed limits from 25 to 35 because it is just too much work. Some of you know what I mean. So when I am driving in a certain speed
limit, more than likely, I am going faster than the speed limit states. How much faster is determined by my renewed
mind. How much faster does God allow me
to drive? THIS IS THE NEXT GREAT PRINCIPLE I AM GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU.
There is a phrase, statement or principle that will surely set you free
and allow you to have an individual relationship with God. It is something that took me many years to
learn and I’m going to share it with you right now. Then, we will go back to our imaginary
believer and continue where we left off.
But now, you will feel a great sense of ease knowing that you have
something with God that no one else in the world has, but you. Let’s get right to it. The principal is mentioned in II Peter.
Blueprint: GODLINESS. According as [he
by] his divine power had given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath
[scratch the word ‘hath’] called us to
[his own] glory and virtue [superior
excellence].
Can you guess the principle that I’m trying to stress here? Obviously, it is the word ‘godliness’. This is something you need to remember. It’s my bet that you will not forget it. Godliness is your own spiritual and vital
relationship with God Almighty. No one
else on the face of this earth has the same relationship that you have with
God. God will speak to you differently
and He will show you things differently than every other believer. It is a private thing between you and God
Almighty. When I was using the examples
for our fictitious believer, it struck me that I should explain this principle
to you. I feel the time is exactly right
to share this with you. This helps you
to understand that the example being used in this teaching may not apply exactly
to you. Something about these examples
used previously will be somewhat different for you. I have a way that I work with God. He knows how to let me know when I’m getting
proper Revelation or counterfeit revelation.
God is no respecter of persons so He will do the same thing for you IF
you study and renew your mind as Romans 12: 1, 2 clearly states. This paragraph contains one of the most
important principle that you can learn from this teaching. God does not speak to everyone in the same
manner. He speaks to everyone in a
different separate way that will fit your personality and way of thinking. The principle of godliness is massive. You must understand it. It will set you free and give you an individual
and a separate, unique relationship with the Father.
Now we are going to get back to our hypothetical believer. If you remember, he was searching for some
peace and quiet and he had a choice of 5 different ways to relax. Here is where you can apply godliness. Let’s say that our believer decided to listen
to some music. He may like rock ‘n
roll. I also like that subject
myself. Another believer may like
country-western. I, myself, do not care
for this type of music. It seems to be
the same thing over and over again, but you may disagree and that is perfectly
fine. We are to be like-minded on the
Word of God and not on our idiosyncrasies.
If a believer hasn’t renewed his or her mind on what I just said, there
are going to be problems and people are going to get out of fellowship. It is difficult for people to understand that
some people like red cars and other people do not. I had an orange hot rod Nova at one time and
many people came up to me and said they just love the color. I hated the color and that’s why I eventually
sold the car. So everyone has different
tastes and everyone walks with God in a slightly different manner. I wanted to get that point across to
you. God refers to this as
godliness. Now I’m going to reach deeply
into the Word and talk about a subject that may give many believers a difficult
time. The answer is so simple that I
will say what I said many, many times.
It should just blow your mind.
I went to my branch leader a long time ago, a most dynamic woman of God.
I was fortunate to be in her fellowship
and I listened intently to everything she had to say. But one time, I came up with a question that
I badly needed an answer and I’m sure you will too. What do you do when you have a decision that
is not specifically stated in the Word of God?
She looked at me and smiled in a gentle manner and she said two words
and that was it.
Blueprint: “Ask God”
You will learn to develop this habit in time after you make a lot of
mistakes. I could be in a store and I
have 2 different choices as to which car part, oil, or filter to buy. I would scramble my brain trying to figure
out what the heck to do. Then, thank
God, I will remember what my branch leader told me. “Ask God”. Blow me away.
I would ask God which part was the best part for me and He would tell
me. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.” !!! In time, I learned to do this out of habit
and it became easier and easier.
Blueprint: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God in the Spirit. -- Ephesians 2: 22
When I first got into the Word of God, I went to visit our headquarters in Ohio. I remember only important things that are said to me. This one believer in a leadership position explained to me that God had built us so that He can have some company and live within our own bodies. I know this may be hard to understand, but God was lonely and He wanted some companionship. When a person is born again of God’s Spirit, God actually lives within that person. So when you go to God for help and guidance, it blesses God. Let me share another Scripture with you. Would you like a concise, simple definition of the love of God?
Blueprint: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. - I John 5: 3
His commandments are not oppressive. C’mon, let’s get with the program. It’s a blast to rub the face of devil into the ground. How about that young child killed in a car accident? Who do you think did that? How about that person that was precious to you and is now gone? There’s nothing you can do.??? The hell there isn’t. You fight the devil with the Word of God. That’s the only thing that defeats him. You don’t react to him - let God handle it.
Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith
the Lord. -- Romans 12: 19
But rather give place unto wrath. Do not misunderstand this like I did for so many years. The word ‘wrath’ here is referring to the wrath of God. God seeks vengeance – He will repay. We are to never seek vengeance, but to walk away and not to react to what the devil throws at you. Believe it, don’t make that mistake. It was one of my weak points and I worked really hard to overcome it. You can’t beat Satan with words unless they are the Words of God Almighty.
I would like to conclude this teaching with a most appropriate
Scripture. This teaching can go on
forever. I believe that you got the gist
of the overall teaching. God’s Word has
an answer for every situation of life in this world. Seek and you shall find. God’s got your Blueprint
For Living.
I have no greater joy than to hear than
my children walk in truth. -- I John 1: 4
