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 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

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 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

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 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)

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

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 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

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!

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

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!

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.
