Lost is a Spiritual Problem
Sometimes life just seems to have led us down a dead end. This can be experinced as bad relationships, depression, low mood state, poverty and so on. There seems to be nowhere to go, no way out, and our dreams and desires are further away than ever. There is a way out. There is a way to get back on track.

The Problem with Anger
God knows we cannot make it to His kingdom until we learn how to sacrifice our needs, our wants, and our desires, for the good of someone else. In other words, until we learn how to love one another, even the unlovable. And, we can never love until we get rid of the anger.

That we must live with imperfections is a fact of life that cannot be denied. We must come to terms with the silent and perennial truth that the field of human life will always consist of the good, the bad and the ugly coexisting together.

Christian Love
Actually, loving does not take any great effort on our part because it is not something we must put forth great effort to achieve. When God enters our heart, soul, and mind, love is spontaneously produced because He is love.

Gracious Forgetfulness
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. --GALATIANS 3:27, RSV
I was thanking the Father today for His mercy. I began listing the sins He’d forgiven. My motives were pure and my heart was thankful, but my understanding of God was wrong. It hit me when I used the word remember.

Natural Talent
No one comes to this world without a gift or special talent that is not unique to him/her alone. The gifts that we bring are the tools we will use to experience physical life in our own special way. For some it is obvious, for others one may have to look a little deeper. The use of such gifts or talents are also subject to interpretation and are often used for purposes other than what we wanted to experience before birth. Most of us spend a lifetime searching for the connection to them.

Be Filled With The Spirit!
Be filled with the Spirit.… always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -EPHESIANS 5:18, 20
Some years ago, a couple traveled from their home in Chicago to Arrowhead Springs to talk to me about an idea they had. “We heard your lecture on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Our lives have been dramatically changed as a result,” they said enthusiastically. “We have come to encourage you to go on national television to tell Christians everywhere how they can know the Holy Spirit and experience His revolutionary impact in and through their lives.”
I am humbly grateful to God for the privilege of teaching these great truths concerning the Holy Spirit to tens of millions of people through-out the world, often with the same dramatic results this couple enjoyed. To be effective lighthouses for Jesus Christ, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.

Relieve Stress - Take Time Out For YOU!
In my line of work in the alternative health industry, I have noticed a common theme in the lives of some very powerful healers. In the most beautiful way, these powerful healers are heart-centered and quite self-less. The flip side of this can lead to caring ONLY for others and not giving much attention to themselves. Burnout is a very serious issue for these desperately needed healers. This is why I am always reminding people of how important it is to take some time out for themselves each and every day, no matter how busy the day seems to be. If this sounds at all familiar to you, I'd like to remind you of three important things: 1.) Like attracts like, 2.) There are quick and easy ways to take time out for yourself, and 3.) If you're stressed, you won't be as helpful to others as you can be.
