You are Imprisoned but we know how to fix that

Your thoughts are forced along the same pattern every day. Your weekly routine is the same every week. If you have kids, you go through similar trials every day. If you are married or with someone, you notice how each year becomes a little less interesting than before. When you hit somewhere around forty years of age or so...you realize that you are an energy unit! You are being processed, you’ve always been processed, and once you leave this life....yep, more processing.

Would you like some control? That would be refreshing, don’t you think?

Taking the bull by the horns can be hard. In fact, the reason you have not been able to do it so far is because you STUDY Jesus, but you do not WALK ON WATER like He does! What does it take to pull that trick off? How about an open mind, to start with!

Did you ever take a minute to realize that maybe some of the Christian lessons you received over the years were just plain boring and unnecessary? Some of them are not only engineered to KEEP YOU IN YOUR RUT.....but they DISCOURAGE CREATIVITY and EXCITEMENT! At this point in life...aren’t you interested in some unique experiences?

I started my adventure back to real life by understanding why I was following Jesus in the first place. I wanted to create the kind of effect that He did. I never had a desire to do everything He did, but I really did want those miracles! The miracles always looked so good to me. I wanted to throw them around, spin them this way and that, and bless those who really could use them. So you know what I did? Every day, I asked for the ability to do that kind of thing. I also worked very hard to prove to God that I was worthy of such power.

For over four years I was counselor to the world, running a huge advice site. I answered many thousands of emails. And you know what? It worked! Sometime in there, I discovered that I could create a miraculous u-turn for a complete stranger just with a few practical tips and a prayer or two. Sound simple? It was! And it can be for you too!

The Law of Balance

What soever  a man soweth he shall reap. The golden law in the universe. At the end nature will always bring you back to equilibruim, the state of balance.

The strength to do nothing

I volunteered at my church for four hours today.  Then I laid in bed.  And that was it.  I was not feeling so hot, for whatever reason, so I just relaxed all day.  Took a nap.  Watched some basketball.  That was it.  And believe it or not, that was an accomplishment.

I’m kind of an antsy person.  In general I enjoy going out, socializing with friends, and eating at different restaurants.  Slowing down to the point where I do not do much is very hard.  In a lot of ways it is a let down too.  I thought throughout my younger years that my thirties would be a time of freedom.  I would be able to go and do whatever I felt like doing.  That dream has not come true, at least not to the extent I had hoped.  But you know what?  That’s okay too.

Jesus gives you the ability to reach beyond your circumstances.  You can be immobilized, depressed, locked up.  Jesus will still work with you.  He will take your energy, your prayers, and He will distribute them perfectly.  You are part of the power that runs this place, and He knows best how to use what you offer.  You are a shareholder, but it is His company.  He has lots of challenges, believe it or not, but with our help He always takes care of them.  Always.  This is how it is, and how it always will be.


God runs a zero-sum game.  At the end of the day, all baskets are unloaded, all cage doors are opened, and the party-goers have feasted and gone home.  What is left is absolutely nothing.  What came before...was absolutely nothing.  But in this perfect equation, God has produced something amazing.  He has made something from nothing.....again.  And we benefit from His generosity and grace.  He has invited us to the dance, and if we are smart, we make sure to thank the host.

I suggest doing a boring day sometimes.  Yes, I did not make a million dollars today.  BUT....I helped a billion people.  That kind of trade-off is a wonderful thing.  And God makes sure my retirement account is full, regardless.

Realize that even when you are doing nothing, you can be working for Christ.  I love knowing about this miracle.  It is a miracle.  It really is.  This ki

If jesus was not the saviour

..what would the world be like?  After all, how can anyone prove anything after 2000 years anyway?

This world is permeable.  That means that things can pass through it quite easily.  Stuff comes, stuff goes.  History is more about what you want to believe than what is actually true.  I don’t think books can be relied on very much.  Soon, video editing will produce the same effect on movies, as real people can be doctored up without any trace of change.

Years ago I had to come to grips with the fact that I would not ever have proof.  Yes, the language of the bible is powerful.  Yes, Christianity is the biggest religion, by believer count, covering 1/4 of all humans.  However, Christ had never stepped up to me and said, “Look, I have missions.  Do you want to carry them out?  I only want you to work for me if you jump in with both feet.”  What would you say to that?


If you take the risk, and start believing, it becomes very apparent very quickly that you have placed lots of hardships on yourself.  Just as soon as you start embracing the world’s most joyous religion, you are tossed into the abyss of challenges.  Why?  Only joyful people can succeed in the abyss.

I think it must have been right around the time when I started seeing angels that the real truth seemed to show itself.  Obviously not everybody gets treated to that kind of vision, but God communicates in all kinds of ways, and He is never denied an audience.  I really started to get into this whole “helping people” thing.  I became one of those big prayer engines that loves it, adores it, and systematically makes every prayer automatic.  Otherwise I would run out of room on my plate.  If I did not set up a system....nothing would get done.

At a certain point I just did not want the fun to stop!  I was achieving at an incredible rate.  I could see results as clear as I could see the stars and the sun.  Jesus was always there, sitting next to me in the car, walking with me into church, providing advice on how

At a certain point I just did not want the fun to stop!  I was achieving at an incredible rate.  I could see results as clear as I could see the stars and the sun.  Jesus was always there, sitting next to me in the car, walking with me into church, providing advice on how to counsel folks.  His presence never let up.  He would tell me, “There is no better way to do it.”  Of course, I believed Him!


So, what if Jesus is not the savior?  What if He was just a guy with some really awesome ideas and some extraordinary powers?  You know what....it really wouldn’t matter.  If I can make my life this effective, this extraordinary, touching billions with just a thought....I don’t really care about the rest of the scenario.  I’m just happy to have Him in my life!

Besides...now that I work for God, I’m guessing the retirement plan is pretty good!
