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 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 3

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.

C. F., NC, USA

 

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 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

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.

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

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 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 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

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 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 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA
