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 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 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

N. B., Canada

 

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Kessy B., Australia

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

M.K., USA

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Antony N. – Hobart, Australia

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

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 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Wheinny P., University Place, WA, USA
