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.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

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 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 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 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 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

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!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

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 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 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 59

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.

Michael A., Ghana

 

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!
