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 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 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 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 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 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

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 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 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

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.

Nancy S.

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

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 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.
