anyone who doesn't like my father has a problem, not liking and following Jesus means you're following Satan and hell awaits you; hopefulLandlord is heading to hell unless he repents and accepts to follow Jesus

Believing you are in Christ is easy. I can say i believe Christ morning till night but do i really believe it??

If you BELIEVE you are in Christ then there is only way to know

- Do you exhibit DIVINE LOVE?

Divine love is PATIENT , FORGIVING , HUMBLE , GENEROUS, NON-JUDGEMENTAL ....

- So , before you THINK of hurting your enemy, remember - I AM IN CHRIST and CHRIST FORGIVES ALL HIS ENEMIES

- Before you worry, Remember - I AM IN CHRIST and the spirit of Christ is Omnipotent and has everything it will ever need

Believing in Christ is not a physical thing at all. It is a mental exercise of pulling down the STRONGHOLD OF WRONG THINKING THAT HAS BEEN IMPLANTED IN THE BRAIN.
Physical exclamations of loving God is useless. If you love Christ and are in Christ and believe it , then you have to ACT LIKE YOU ARE IN CHRIST

I cannot have a cheque of 10billion and beg for 10naira

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT WHICH MEANS HE IS WITHIN EVERY MAN, WHETHER MUSLIM OR CHRISTIAN.
NOW , if you have a personal relationship with jesus as people say , then you have to see life just as christ saw life.

That means you act like the kingdom of God is within you. So the next time you have a thought, ask yourself - is this what christ would think about this situation? This to me , is the only way to have this personal relationship on a level that deals directly on the mental plane and not the physical plane

yeah, the problem here is that "what Christ would think about this situation" is always open for interpretation, that's why you guys have 30,000 different sects

what Christ would think is summed up in one word. LOVE
The problem with the many sects and many interpretations is people mistakenly worship Jesus of Nazareth instead of the Christ that was within him , which is in every man as well.

99% of humans feel the purpose of existence is to eat , reproduce and die. But this is an animal's life. Ignorance of life's true purpose is the main factor behind the mass delusion we see being paraded as Christianity

To grow or evolve into our true identity OR to grow into recognition of the Self that dwells in the physical body

How do we achieve this?
Re: The Meaninglessness Of "I Have A Deep Personal Relationship With Jesus Christ" by manikal: 10:08pm On Sep 03, 2017
Ranchhoddas:
How do we achieve this?

Surrender. Learning how to just be in the present. Be Still and Know I AM God.

If i should ask u , who are you?
You would say , I AM Ranchhoddas. That means that the 'I' in that statement is DIFFERENT from RANCHODDAS.
Learning how to stay in this 'I' that is independent of Ranchhoddas is the goal of meditation.

This I , never leaves you.
I AM SAD
I AM HAPPY
I AM RICH
I AM POOR
I AM ANGRY
I AM HAPPY

There is always the presence of I. A horse might feel cold but it can never THINK of itself as 'I' am Cold.
This is what separates man from animal.

To learn how to be , meditation and concentration , especially vispanna , helps a lot.
Also , this pdf material by Joel Goldsmith - The Mystical I , sums it up it pretty well

Is this what it means to "find the stillness between your breath"?

exactly. the space of no thought. God has a still small voice according to Elijah , so to hear God , man has to be absolutely still , physically and mentally

Just Be. Close your eyes and in that dark space , silently watch the process of your breathing.
Watch as your chest rises when you breathe in and as your chest falls when you breathe out.
Now , thoughts would flood you with things of the past or things of the future. For any thought that comes , try to see whether that thought is about the future or past.
If the thought is not in the NOW , then return back to the observation of the sensation of breathing.

If you can successfully account for every NOW in 10minutes , then increase the time
Practice makes perfect.
Re: The Meaninglessness Of "I Have A Deep Personal Relationship With Jesus Christ" by manikal: 12:56am On Sep 04, 2017
intention helps a lot as well. Know why you have decided to watch the breath. Dont just watch without intention
