Make me know your way O Lord

Faced with similar situation, why does everyone mostly think the same? Why does it often appear like something always comes to mind, to do or not do, to say or not say – and it is often similar to others?

What is the origin of the things that come to mind, especially those that weren’t thought of, or without any prior links?

Why are there spontaneous thoughts and actions – in a moment – different from the kind of person an individual has ever been?

Why is behavior often unpredictable? Why is the mind so unpredictable? Why are some thoughts super overbearing to the point of turbulent discomfort?

Why does it seem like the subject areas the world depends on for mind and behavior are unable to find answers to many of the questions requiring answers?

Why is it that in spite of all the scientific advances, the world is unable to find solutions to hate, bias, bitterness, emptiness, wickedness, envy, greed, hidden intentions, unknown influence, deceit, etc.?

Why is the focus of the world different from the root of many problems, but alert on the similar temporal stuff?

How is it that the world has an abundance of failure problems, disappointment and rejection problems, but no sure solutions on how they should be handled?

Sometimes it is one failure, or a string of disappointments or moods, an individual can’t understand, that becomes a vow to addictions, regardless of how harmful, or how unnecessary in any moment.

Neuroscience has a ton of studies, but addiction is yet to be fully demystified. The things that are wrong with the world are more than the things that any study or subject understands.

The world is said to be better because of technology, but it seems that the world is highly manipulated – or as said, influenced – by stuff from digital.

One message from anywhere, with a different situation or experience, sent into digital, could become the standard to judge in other situations bearing no resemblance to the first, and doing lots of damages.

Just like money got overtaken by greed, strife, pride, wickedness, bias, etc. So is digital overpowered by those and worse.

How can this world solve bitterness? How can this world solve hate? How can this world provide sure solutions to handling of disappointment, failure and rejection? How can this world solve wickedness? How can people not fall into deceit?

Unfortunately for many, Salvation they could have opened their hearts to, already got hate messages by those with lots of hate, bitterness, wickedness, hidden motives and unknown influence.

Usually, no one willingly submits their hearts to strange thoughts, or leaves their behaviors opened to situational impulse. It comes, takes over and happens.

Assuming there was a way to submit the heart to certain thoughts and subject the life to certain commandments, and it helps to close the gate against weird thoughts, actions and behaviors; it would be useful to the individual, to others and to the world against the most vicious stuff known.

Jesus Christ came to the world to solve the problems that seems natural to the mind and to behavior. Jesus Christ says to come to Him, abide in Him, that He stands at the door and knocks and that if an individual believes.

It is not by force. It is to see Jesus for the new mind and character to become reborn with, and to want Him, need Him and let Him into one’s life. It is a choice to make, but when made have to follow the strict rules.

[John 4:24, GOD [is] a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship [Him] in Spirit and in Truth.]

They that worship Him, which is like they that come to Him. They that choose Him: when they do, they must do it in Spirit and in Truth.

Whatever worship [which can include service, testimony, prayer, praise, giving, miracle, faith, hope and holiness] must be done in Spirit and in Truth. [Hebrews 12:2, Looking unto JESUS the Author and Finisher of [our] Faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of GOD.]

JESUS is the model of Christianity. Not any Pastor or Church. No matter the kind of actions of anyone or interpretation given of any Church or Pastor, JESUS Christ owns the true Church.

The attack on Christianity is often to make others see it as strict and see no way there, but genuine Christianity would make the world a far better place than what the world is.

Submission to GOD is voluntary. Yes, it comes with strict boundaries, but those boundaries are to help genuine Christians not to be hard on them.

Examples of actions that can take control beyond will or kind of person are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.

But with the Spirit of GOD there are fruit like: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

Many criticize one Church or Pastor like they are the model of Christianity. Some also criticize Christ like Christ came to solve earthquakes or disease or the economy. NO. Christ brought Salvation. He also did some healings in the process. [Acts 10:38, How GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD was with Him.] [Matthew 8:16, When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast out the spirits with [His] word, and healed all that were sick:]

GOD can heal, it does it when He likes and how He chooses. GOD is Superior and Supreme Sovereign. If He wants to heal, He will. If He chooses not to, His Children should still believe in Him.

Yes, there are fake miracles and miracles that are not of GOD, but it does not invalidate the Power of GOD, or the Power in the Name of Jesus. [Acts 3:6, Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.]

From time, people always want to brainwash against the Power of GOD, to discredit Christ, the resurrection, or to assume fake miracles somehow means all miracles are fake. That is inaccurate. [Acts 17:18, Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them JESUS, and the resurrection.] [John 9:19, And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?] [John 9:20, His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:] [John 9:11, He answered and said, A man that is called JESUS made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.] [John 9:25, He answered and said, Whether He be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.]
