We all have a purpose and a destiny upon our lives whether we know it or not. Truly our purpose is to fulfill the will of God upon our lives, but in order to do that we have to know what the will of God is and then begin to walk in it.

That is step number one, there is no use going on to the next steps if we haven’t first made Jesus Lord in our lives. If we try to fulfi

Rudraksha Beads have been used from very ancient times all over the world by ancient Gurus, Pundits and Sages in India who very well knew about their beneficial effects.

It seems everyone you meet these days is a self-proclaimed psychologist.

I started calling G-D the Holy One of Isra'el in 2007. I had never heard of this name for G-D before growing up in a Catholic Church. Christians are taught more from the New Testament than the Tanakh (Old Testament). Therefore, I was ignorant of this name for G-D. I thought this was a name that I had made up for my beloved, holy G-D, who is my best friend, who I adore.

A couple of weeks ago ADONAI Tzva'ot gave me divine revelation about the significance of the book of Ester. The book of Ester is a book of prophecy about the fate of those who seek to exterminate Jewish People & the right of the Jewish Nation to defend herself!

With the tongue we bless God and curse men. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to so be." (Jas. 3: 9 - 10) What does that mean, really? It's understandable that we should not curse our fellow men.

The word “manifesting” means to make something tangible or readily perceived by the senses especially by sight (this is according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary).

There is in everyone the longing to know intimacy with the Divine. The only difference between people is that a few are aware of this longing, while most are not. For those who are not, life is a constant challenge, even a frustration, as they search for God everywhere but the one and only place where God could ever be found - which is, inside of you.

For centuries, Christians have not only believed but vigorously defended the view that Jesus is the one and only way to God. As a Christian myself, I was one of these who not only believed this but was ready to argue and debate with anyone who questioned what I thought was an unquestionable claim made by none other than Jesus himself. That claim is recorded in John 14:6. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me." To me, for someone to question this bold assertion was tantamount to heresy.

Christians share a position of responsibility in their own development and in the stewardship of earthly things. The differential between stewardship and ownership has caused the Christian to question his own, God granted position. No man may own any of God’s creation. Man only has the right to occupy temporally as a condition fulfillment. He must glorify God in his actions. nnBecause man questions his arrangement with God, Satan has been able to exert his own agenda in

Interesting you would ask me this, as others have asked me this question, too, and I suppose it is because I no longer pretend to believe that Christianity is the only way to know God.

In what many consider his most comprehensive work on the subject of solitude, “Notes for a Philosophy of Solitude” by Thomas Merton attempts to put forth and defend the concept of monastic living in terms that may be understood by the common person.

We could easily describe the story of the Buddha going forth from his home as an archetypical experience, where the story of the Buddha was not only ascribed to him, but to previous Buddhas.
