If this is your first time joining us my name is Tamorra and I am the art teacher for purpose. I write, create, and promote information that will help you find your purpose in life. I want to encourage you to live your life on purpose by using your gifts, your talents, and your abilities to help expand the Kingdom purpose. Let us help each other by loving each other. Let us love as Jesus loves. Let us help spread his message of everlasting life.
I feel that it is so very important to get centered. It is so very important to grab hold of your feelings and your emotions so that you are not pulled back and forth by them. We have to get of off the spinning tea cup ride because we are all so disoriented and dizzy all of the time. You don't want your emotions to control you, but you want to have control over them. You are the one who needs to identify how you feel and why you feel that way. Your feelings are designed to warn you of the change that is going on inside of you. This is the way that God designed you. Use what he has blessed you with to help grow your awareness.
Here is the thing. God sent his son here to show us how this is done. Jesus's life showed us how to control our atmosphere. Jesus was not controlled by the outward appearance of things. Instead, he was in control of his own reality by the truth that his father in heaven had told him. He had control over his surroundings, over his mind, and over his emotions.
A verse that I sowed in my heart:
For as much as Christ had suffered in the flesh, arm yourself likewise with the same mind, for he that suffers in the flesh ceases from sin and no longer spends his time to the lust of men but to the will of God . . . (paraphrased in my mind, check out II Peter chapter 4:2)
Here goes the thing, Jesus understood how the flesh worked. He also understood how the spirit and the mind worked. It is all connected, yes, but they should not operate on the same premise of reality. Let me slow down a bit and tell you this:
This world is only an illusion of the truth. Why? Because it is a counterfeit world (Kingdom) set up by the enemy (which is and will be, but is not yet). Hence, The reality is the Kingdom of Heaven (the real Kingdom) and the laws of that Kingdom are what we should really be operating in. The more we follow the Holy Spirit, the more we will be operating in the real Kingdom. Jesus's body held the Holy Spirit, this is why he had such complete control over his environment. This is why his mind was not tempted by the flesh, he was armed with the mind to do the will of God.
I said that to explain this: Your emotions, and your false environment are being used as a distraction to you. We have to stop using the blessing of this life to obtain the lust of the flesh. We have to come out of the world culture. The world that we are living in today is set up to send you on an emotional rollercoaster, always having you disoriented from your purpose. It is time to get focused. It is time to identify your emotions, deal with them, and interpret what they really mean. I am going to tell you what they mean right now. . . All of your feelings of failure, disgusts, sadness, emptiness, discontentment, lustfulness, selfishness, envy, slothfulness, overwhelm, and worry are signs that you are not calibrated correctly. You are off center, you are off course. You are falling and you can't get up! It is time to get off of the emotional roller coaster and call on a savior, because you need help!!!
Help!!! Help us Lord!!!
Here is your motivation for Monday:
God sent us a savior . . .
Jesus will get us off of the emotional roller coaster. He will also take us out of the Amusement Park all together!
Can we really say that we are not an emotional mess? No one is perfect. Lord knows that I am not perfect. I just know that I got tired of going on ride, after ride, after ride; receiving no lasting amusement and always feeling sick to my stomach. Come out of that false reality. I know the illusions and delusions are becoming stronger and more entertaining, but these attractions will never fulfil your true purpose. These rides that you go on will always end. You need something with substance. Something that will last, and fill you up.
In other words, leave the candy (the temptations of this world) alone because it has no nutritional value to your spirit!
We want to change our minds . . . We need to grab hold of the same mind of Christ. The true meaning of our life is to do the will of our father. We need to be reconnected with him. We had to be cut off because we were too dangerous to our selves. Our hearts were always wondering off from our father in heaven. Today we need to take on the mind of Christ and no longer live for the flesh, but live to fulfill God's will for his Kingdom.
