El secreto de la Felicidad y el Gozo

El secreto de la Felicidad y el Gozo

“Los mandamientos de Jehová son rectos que alegran el corazón” (salmos 19:8)

Ha usted luchado por encontrar la felicidad y el gozo? Frecuentemente mis pacientes me dicen cuan desesperados están por encontrar la felicidad, pero muchos de ellos parecen encontrar solo mas dolor y miseria. Lo que he descubierto es que la mayoria de la gente no sabe el secreto para la felicidad y el gozo.

Y cuál es el secreto?

Que los dos, felicidad y gozo son un derivado. Esto significa que usted no puede obtener felicidad y gozo directamente; ellos son el resultado de alguna otra acción – como el aserrín es el resultado de la carpintería.

 

Experimentando la Felicidad

La Felicidad es el resultado de la sanidad en todas las áreas – física, mental, emocional, relacional y espiritual. Cuando estamos enfermos físicamente no somos felices; mental o emocinalmente enfermos – no somo felices; conflictos en las relaciones – no somos felices; enfermos espirituales (culpa, verguenza, condenacion) – no somos felices.

La felicidad es el derivado de la sanidad en todas los aspectos de la vida. Y la salubridad se experimenta sólo cuando estamos en armonía con las leyes que Dios diseñó para la vida – el protocolo sobre el cual el Creador Dios construyó la realidad para funcionar. Cuando quebramos la ley de la salud, enfermedades, dolor y sufrimientos suceden – escondiendo nuestra felicidad. Por esto es que la Biblia repetidamente nos dice, “mas el que guarda la ley de Dios es bienaventurado!” (Proverbios 29:18)

Aunque no podemos elegir “ser felices” o buscar la felicidad directamente, podemos elegir estar sanos, elegir vivir en armonía con todos los aspectos del diseño de la ley de Dios para la vida. Y cuando elegimos la sanidad, el derivado es una felicidad en crecimiento.

Sin embargo, mucha gente falla en entender ésto y, en vez de perseguir la sanidad, la sustituyen con la busqueda de placer, algo que los haga sentir bien en el momento inmediato. Pero esto con frecuencia viola las leyes de la salud (ej. drogas, alcohol, sexo casual, juegos de azar, etc.) y causa solo una infelicidad mayor. Ésto con frecuencia lleva a adiciones, cuando la gente, en vez de buscar sanidad, se dedica a buscar placeres.

 

Experimentando Gozo

Aunque la felicidad es el derivado de la sanidad, el gozo es el derivado de usar nuestras energías en los propósitos de Dios.  Dios creó al hombre a su imagen con el propósito de que amaramos a otros; de utilizar nuestras habilidades para crear, desarrollarnos, avanzar, y descubrir; e invertir nuestra energía física y mental en alcanzar objectivos piadosos.

Padres, por ejemplo, experimentan gozo en la procreación. Artistas y músicos experimentan gozo en vaciar su pasión en un hermoso trabajo. Granjeros en una abundante cosecha. Científicos y matemáticos experimentan gozo en nuevos descubrimientos. Y todos experimentamos el mayor gozo cuando amamos a otros – cuando damos de nosotros mismos por el bien de otros. Esto es porque la verdadera vida, salud, felicidad, y gozo se encuentran en vivir como Jesus, ” El cual por el gozo puesto delante de Él sufrió la cruz” (Hebreo 12:2).

Jesus conoció íntimamente el gozo de actuar en salvar a otros, de amar a otros más que a sí mismo, de cumplir el propósito de su Padre en el cielo. Y Dios, a través de Jesús, nos ofrece el privilegio de participar de su naturaleza divina, de tener su ley diseñada de amor, restaurada en nuestros corazones y mentes (2 Pedro 1:4; Hebreos 8:10).

Este es el secreto para experimentar la felicidad y el gozo:

  • La felicidad es un derivado de la sanidad, la cual se experimenta solo cuando se vive en armonía con las leyes naturales de Dios, teniendolas escritas en nuestros corazones y mentes.
  • El gozo es el derivado de vivir el propósito de Dios para nuestras vidas, y en últimas amar a otros como Dios nos ha amado.

Les invito a ser felices y gozosos trabajando para tener una vida saludable – en armonía con el diseño de Dios para la vida – y vivir gozoso eligiendo adoptar el propósito de Dios en tu vida.

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

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!

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 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!

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 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.

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 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!

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 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.

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 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

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!

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.
