Sekret szczęścia, radości i zadowolenia

Sekret szczęścia, radości i zadowolenia

Prawo PANA jest doskonałe, nawracające duszę. … Nakazy PANA są prawe, radujące serce. (UBG Ps 19:7-8)

Czy próbowałeś kiedyś znaleźć szczęście, radość czy zadowolenie? Często pacjenci mówią mi, że tak bardzo chcieliby być szczęśliwi, ale doświadczają jedynie bólu i cierpienia. Z biegiem czasu zorientowałem się, że większość ludzi nie zna sekretu szczęścia i radości.

Co jest tego tajemnicą?

Zarówno szczęście, radość jak i zadowolenie są produktami ubocznymi, co oznacza, że nie można ich po prostu nabyć czy znaleźć, bowiem są one wynikiem czegoś innego – podobnie jak trociny i wióry są produktem ubocznym obróbki drewna.

Sekret szczęścia i radości

Szczęście i radość są produktem ubocznym zdrowia we wszystkich dziedzinach życia – fizycznej, psychicznej, emocjonalnej, relacyjnej i duchowej.
Kiedy chorujemy fizycznie, brak nam w sercu szczęścia i radości.
Gdy niedomagamy psychicznie lub emocjonalnie, nie czujemy się szczęśliwi.
Gdy nasze relacje się komplikują, radość się ulatnia.
Gdy podupadamy na duchu (zmagamy się z poczuciem winy, wstydu czy potępienia), nie odczuwamy ani szczęścia, ani radości.

Ogólne zdrowie możemy uzyskać jedynie wtedy, gdy przebywamy w całkowitej harmonii z Bożymi prawami na życie – protokołami i zasadami, na których Bóg Stwórca zaprojektował realność. Kiedy łamiemy prawa zdrowia, pojawiają się choroby, zaburzenia i cierpienia, które zakłócają radość. Właśnie dlatego Biblia wielokrotnie powtarza, że jest „szczęśliwy ten, co przestrzega Prawa”! (Prz 29:18 NBG)

Chociaż nie możemy podjąć decyzji, że ‘będziemy szczęśliwi’ albo zadecydować, że ‘zdobędziemy szczęście’, to możemy postanowić sobie, że będziemy żyć zdrowo – w harmonii ze wszystkimi aspektami Bożych praw dla życia. A kiedy wybierzemy ‘zdrowie’, wówczas zauważymy, że produktem ubocznym jest wzrastający poziom szczęścia i radości.

Jednak wielu nie pojmuje tych zależności i zamiast dążyć do zdrowia, zaczyna poszukiwać przyjemności – czegoś, co sprawia natychmiastowe, chociaż jedynie chwilowe poczucie ‘szczęścia’. Niestety, zbyt często tacy ludzie naruszają tym prawa zdrowia i doświadczają jeszcze większego niezadowolenia. Zwiększając wysiłki w celu znalezienia ‘przyjemności’ (np. narkotyków, alkoholu, pozamałżeńskiego seksu, gier hazardowych, itp.) często stają się od nich uzależnieni.

Sekret zadowolenia

Podczas gdy szczęście i radość są produktem ubocznym zdrowia, zadowolenie jest produktem ubocznym używania danej nam przez Boga energii zgodnie z Jego zasadami. Bóg stworzył ludzkość na swój obraz i zaprojektował nas w ten sposób, byśmy mogli kochać, używać swoich zdolności do tworzenia, rozwijania się, robienia postępów i odkryć, oraz by nasze fizyczne i umysłowe wysiłki były użyte dla chwały Bożej.

Dla przykładu, rodzice doświadczają zadowolenia, dając początek nowemu życiu – swoim dzieciom.
Artyści i muzycy czerpią zadowolenie z oddawania się pracy twórczej.
Rolnicy mają powód do zadowolenia, gdy plony są obfite.
Naukowców i matematyków zadowalają nowe odkrycia.
Wszyscy doświadczamy wielkiego zadowolenia, kiedy w miłości do innych dajemy z siebie dla ich dobra.
Dlatego też pełnię życia, zdrowia, zadowolenia i radości znajdujemy najłatwiej wówczas, gdy wzorujemy się na życiu Jezusa, „który z powodu przygotowanej mu radości wycierpiał krzyż.” (UBG, Heb 12:2)

Jezus doznał głębokiego zadowolenia w swojej zbawczej działalności dla ratowania ludzkości, w miłowaniu innych bardziej niż siebie, w wypełnianiu woli Ojca. Przez Jezusa, Bóg daje nam przywilej uczestniczenia w Jego boskiej naturze gdy pozwolimy Mu przywrócić i utwierdzić prawa miłości w naszych sercach i umysłach (2Pt 1:4; Heb 8:10).

W podsumowaniu:

  • Szczęście i radość są produktem ubocznym zdrowia, którego doświadcza się jedynie wówczas, gdy mamy Boże prawa projektowe zapisane w sercach i umysłach oraz żyjemy w zgodzie z nimi.
  • Zadowolenie jest produktem ubocznym realizowania celów Bożych w naszym życiu, z których najważniejszym jest miłowanie innych tak, jak Bóg nas umiłował.

Z całego serca życzę Ci zaznania szczęścia i radości poprzez prowadzenie zdrowego stylu życia zgodnego z Bożymi prawami dla życia, oraz do znalezienia zadowolenia w podejmowaniu decyzji, dzięki którym będziesz mógł wypełniać Boże cele w swoim życiu.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.
