Simplicity is a Good Spice of Life

Adapting to the Newness of My Reborn Life(John 3:7 & Romans 5:12-21), I recognize that With All That is Within Me I Do Love THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY & POWERFUL.
If it had not been For THE LORD, HIS GRACE & MERCIES I would have been dead in buried or swept up after the fire into an urn of permanence.
I sincerely look back over my life of which spans four decades and I've observed THE HAND OF GOD CONSISTENTLY SHELTERING my inconsistencies and failures by Promoting Me in Character & Faith with the Perseverance(Romans 5:3-11).
Far from Perfect and acknowledge I Will Always Be as long as I reside within the walls of my flesh but Operate beyond those Walls by The POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT WHICH RESIDES INSIDE OF My New Heart(Deuteronomy 4:29, Psalm 7:9, Acts 15:9, Philippians 4:7 & Colossians 3:15).
A Living Witness to the Power of The New Heart. I began with declaration of Relaxation not in the sense of therapy or massage but by The Renewing of My Mind to Understand THE WILL OF GOD and the Obedience of my flesh to deny its earthly desires as I Seek GODLINESS & HOLINESS Through The Spirit(Psalms 93:5, Romans 1:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 7:1). Simple Trust IN THE WORD & Faith In It's ABILITIES.
I've learned through experiences individual & as witnessed that complications arouse from frustration, deceit & sin(James 4:1-10). GOD IS NOT the author of confusion therefore HE WOULD not utilize it's negative actions unless invited by the Ruler of THE TEMPLE HE HAS CALLED HOME(Hebrews 9:6-28 & Acts 20:28).
JESUS Meant when HE Spoke of Destroying The Temple(John 2:19) was His earthly body & not The Temple of Solomon. Destroying the former tabernacle Opened Dialog between GOD & Mankind where if Invited GOD WILL RESIDE in Our Hearts.
In the Wilderness after The Exodus from Egypt GOD DWELT inside man-made tents(Exodus 40:17-38) and GOVERNED the quest to The PROMISED LAND Symbolized by a CLOUD Above The Tabernacle(Temple/Home) by Day & FIRE was Over It by Night throughout their journeys. What a Relationship Moses & The Prophets Shared With Our LORD. I long for just that type of Relationship Today & I'm Maturing as I Continue Praying & Studying GOD'S DIVINE WORD & Obeying It by THE POWER WITHIN Me.
Little things seems much When You place them IN THE MASTER'S HAND(James Cleveland).
I honestly don't feel no ways tired, I've Come too far from Where GOD HAS BROUGHT Me from, nobody told me the road would be easy and I Don't believe HE BROUGHT Me this far to leave Me. Thanks James R.I.P.
My Hope is Built on JESUS' BLOOD & RIGHTEOUSNESS and My Faith Will Accomplish Whatever GOD INTENDS Me to do.
Prior to November 1992 & August of 2005 I was sold out to the prince of darkness & the principalities of this world(Ephesians 6:12). GOD DELIVERED Me both times & Renewed My Mind & CREATED A CLEAN HEART WITHIN Me(Philippians 2:5 & Psalms 51:).
Its easy to lose focus & become distracted from THE WILL of GOD by following the traditions of Mankind and conforming to its policies(Romans 12:2) to acquire acceptance or privileges from people in this world. Forgetting that If GOD BE For Me HE'S MORE THAN THE whole world against Me(Romans 8:7 & 31).
Between 1992 & 2005 I had a form of Godliness but denied It's Strength(2 Timothy 3:5).
From August of 2005 thru January 2009 I was luke-warm(Revelatians 3:16), Not a good place to be in as GOD SPITS out the bitterness from HIS MOUTH uggh.
I Want HIM IN My Heart & Always on My Mind but I don't want to be spit anywhere(unless used to restore sight Mark 8:21-25).
Then again LORD IF IT BE YOUR WILL I'll Go & Do Whatever YOU WANT Me too & HE KNOWS I mean that.
In January 2009 I Experienced Total Alignment With GOD & HIS WORKS() BY Obedience & Submission. I relented my finite authorities for GOD'S INFINITE ABILITIES().
In his book "Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all small stuff" Richard Carlson PH.D.
"Obstacles and problems are a part of life. Thu Happiness comes not when we get rid of all our problems, But when We Change Our Relationship to them.
When we see Our problems as a Potential Source of Awakening, Opportunities to Practice Patience and to Learn. The most basic principle of Spiritual Life is that Our problems are The Best places to Practice Keeping Our Hearts Open.
Inner Peace Is Accomplished by Understanding & Accepting the inevitable contradictions of life-the pain & pleasure, success & failure, Joy & sorrow, Births and deaths.
Problems Can Teach Us to be Gracious, Humble, and Patient."
LORD KNOWS I've had my share of life's ups and downs, GOD'S BEEN GOOD To Me and the downs have been Few, Well I guess you could say The LORD HAS BLESSED Me.
There has never been a time in My Life HE DIDN'T SEE Me Through! Oh The Mind of James Cleveland Worship and Praise.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Simplicity; is a more qualitative word connected to simple. It is a property, condition, or quality which things can be judged to have. It usually relates to the burden which a thing puts on someone trying to explain or understand it. Something which is easy to understand or explain is simple, in contrast to something complicated. In some uses, simplicity can be used to imply beauty, purity or clarity. Simplicity may also be used in a negative connotation to denote a deficit or insufficiency of nuance or complexity of a thing, relative to what is supposed to be required.
The concept of simplicity has been related to truth in the field of epistemology. According to Occam's razor, all other things being equal, the simplest theory is the most likely to be true. In the context of human lifestyle, simplicity can denote freedom from hardship, effort or confusion. Specifically, it can refer to a simple living lifestyle.
Simplicity is a theme in the Christian religion. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, God is infinitely simple. The Roman Catholic and Anglican religious orders of Franciscans also strive after simplicity. Members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) practice the Testimony of Simplicity, which is the simplifying of one's life in order to focus on things that are most important and disregard or avoid things that are least important.
In MCS cognition theory, simplicity is the property of a domain which requires very little information to be exhaustively described. The opposite of simplicity is complexity.
Simple not complex oh the Light is Shining Through the jargon.
Through life's experiences and Walking in THE SPIRIT AND denying my flesh, I've Learned that Simplicity Really is The Spice of Life as GOD ONLY REQUIRES We Believe & Repent as Instructed IN HIS WORD. Once Reborn THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD Directs You Toward GOD'S WILL as You Study HIS WORD and Arm Yourself With The Weapons of warfare:
Let THE MIGHTY STRENGTH OF THE LORD MAKE You Strong. Put On All THE ARMOR THAT GOD GIVES, SO You Can Defend Yourself against the devil's tricks.
We are Not Fighting against Humans. We Are Fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness & powers in The Spiritual World.
So Put on All THE ARMOR THAT GOD GIVES. Then when that evil day comes, You Will Be Able to Defend Yourself. When the Battle is Over, You Will Be Standing Firm. Be Ready! Let The Truth be like a belt around Your waist, and Let GOD'S JUSTICE PROTECT You Like Armor. Your Desire to Tell The Good News(CHRIST IS RISEN!) about Peace Should Be Like shoes on Your feet. Let Your Faith be Like a Shield, and You Will Be Able to Stop All the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let GOD'S SAVING POWER BE LIKE a Helmet, and for a Sword Use GOD'S MESSAGE(The Bible) That Comes From THE SPIRIT. Never stop Praying, especially for Others. Always Pray by THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT. Stay Alert & Keep Praying for GOD'S People. Pray!!! Pray that GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL GIVE Peace, Love and Faith to Every Follower! May GOD BE KIND to Everyone Who Keeps on Loving Our Lord JESUS CHRIST(Ephesians 6:10-24).
Learn to take certain thoughts captive(Isaiah 55:8 & Matthew 15:19 & Ephesians 4:23) and only Permit THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO Control the Thoughts That Flow Like Rivers of Living Water Into the Atmosphere Generating Peace, Relaxation & Tranquility with Understanding.
