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 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

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 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 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 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 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

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)
