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 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Helen D., London, England

 

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

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 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!!!

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 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

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!

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.

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

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.

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.
