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 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

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)

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

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 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

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.

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

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!
