The Greatest Secret HOW TO LIVE

Preface

ould there be anything more precious to you

than your very life itself? AND IF SO, would you know how to live your life from its beginning when you commenced to be conscious of its priceless value and true worth? From that point forwards, as you move on, everyday, to your fixed goal and to the fulfillment of your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations HOW WOULD YOU LIVE? How would your dream come true IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DREAM? So that heart-tugging song and lyrics rings thru the decades since it was sung in that box-office hit of the 1960s movie: SOUTH PACIFIC of Rodgers and Hammerstein. On a rerun in New Yorks Broadway, circa June 16, 2008, it has won 5 awards. The actress who played the main role exclaimed: It is a dream come true!

So do you have a dream? Would your knowing how to live enable you to have your dream come true? Ah, you would hitch your wagon to a star! So goes the motto that was taught to be the mantra of young kids growing up in the grade schools. And the many hitched their wagons to their stars. Where are they now? Would you intimately know? And have you hitched your wagon to a star, too? Now then, have a dream. And hitch your wagon to a star. They will be the twin power drives of your life and being. And when you do dream, have a right and true, wonderful, attainable, reachable dream. So that when you come awake, in the real world, you can live the promise and wonder of your dream.
5

The first thing you must do: translate your dream into a feasible, reachable fixed goal. And so hitch your lifes wagon to a star. For life is a journey. And even as you are earthbound, you may rightly hitch your wagon to a star. And when you do, that star must be a bright, shining, enduring, everlasting star. Yes, Virginia, and yes, Francisco, you can have a true dream, AND IT IS YOUR MAKERS DREAM FOR YOU. And the Star is true, real, and never changing. AND HE IS CALLED MORNING STAR. THE BRIGHT AND

He is ever present. Everlasting. Eternal. Forevermore. THE PAGES THAT FOLLOW ARE THE MEAT, SUBSTANCE, AND ESSENCE OF THE WORDS SPOKEN BY, AND FROM, THE MORNING STAR.
6

AND THOSE WORDS SPOKEN BY HIM ARE SPIRIT. AND THEY ARE LIFE. To learn a new language, it is pronounced by those in the know, and who mentor others how to speak a new language, or tongue, one must immerse oneself. To learn of the depths of true knowledge, you follow the same principle, for it is correct and true. Immerse yourself in the Words spoken by The Bright and Morning Star. Drink of them. Feed on them. Daily. Without fail. Meditate on them. Live by them. Then you will live Spirit-filled and Spirit-led. And be truly alive. Is there any other way? There is no other way. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE TRUE AND PERFECT WAY. WALK YOU ON IT. LIVE YOU IN IT. Then you will have your dream come true.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root of the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star,

*KNOW AND LOVE GOD. LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. WITH ALL YOUR MIND. WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
(Exod 20:3-11; Deut 5: 7-15; Mt. 22:36-40; Mk. 12:28-34; 20:3722:3612:28Lk. 10:25-28). 10:253 You shall have no other gods before me. me. 4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth anything beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children of the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you holy . shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath day of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work : you, , nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD day . 20:3blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, (Book of Exodus 20:3it,

Chapter 1

Your Lifes Foremost Agenda and Top Priority Daily

ou are on a lifelong journey. A journey towards,

and ultimately, into GOD. Along with the entire human race. Everyone, without exception. Moment by moment that you draw breath, you move onwards, forwards, guided by a fixed bearing on your lifes personal compass.

Some were foreordained to arrive first, to fulfill the ultimate purpose of God for mankind. They are called the firstfruits.
11

Others will arrive according to Gods timetable. The very incorrigible evil few will be aborted from their journey, their walk invalidated. The Eternal Creator GOD, your Maker, has set your bearing fixed towards Him. Just what exactly is that bearing? GOD Himself spelled it out. He has defined it for you. You therefore can not miss:

YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND.
You are here on earth, to dedicate, and consecrate, your whole
12

life and being in the love and service of GOD who inhabit eternity, The Great God who created the whole, expandng, vast Universe. How are you going to perform that? GOD Himself showed the perfect method. The exact unfailing Way. He defined it in FOUR WAYS.

I. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.

Your whole focused attention is towards GOD your Creator and Maker. Other attractions will try to distract you. Divert you. Draw you out of

13

the line. Your fixed determination will prevent you from doing so.

You must understand: GOD does not forbid you to love your parents. Your family. Your friends. Your country, and your countrymen. He did not say HATE these. He meant you LOVE them, and do care for them, or any of these, LESS, than loving Him. Many mistook these to mean to exclude all the above from your life. To do that would be very ungodly. Do not be a crackpot fanatic. Not to be an oddball. Be balanced.

To truly love GOD, you would have to adore Him. Worship Him. Honor Him.

14

Revere Him. Pray to Him. Thank Him. Sing songs of praise to Him. Credit Him for all the blessings and favors, joy and happiness, you receive in your life. Whether in nature, or from other fellow human beings. They are from GOD, using both nature, and other human instruments, to bless you abundantly. YES, PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! PRAISE AND THANK HIM IN PRAYER AND IN SONG. In this way, He can truly bless you abundantly. And it His pleasure and delight to do so. Your thanksgiving and songs of praise glorifies Him. In all these, God is pleased.

15

Do not allow things and stuff to diminish your love for, and of, God. Not money. Not fame. Not celebrity. Not the applause of others. Not power. In none of these must you ever be drowned. In none of these must you ever be choked. In none of these must you ever be entangled.

IF you love God, He will bless you with promotion and security. And there is no grief that comes with it.

SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND

ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU, (Gospel Book of Matthew 6:33).
The twin most powerful principles of success involves two pronouncements by the Eternal Creator GOD.
16

They are not what you may think. Not what aggressive proponents of success and achievements promote in the now world. Not according to the claimed discoveries written about which are best sellers in the book market, past, present, or future. THE FIRST IS THE SABBATH. THE KEEPING OF THE SABBATH HOLY AND CALLING IT A DELIGHT. THE DIVINE GUARANTEE OF BLESSING IS INVIOLABLE. THE NEXT IS OFTEN QUOTED: SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. THE SIMILAR DIVINE GUARANTEE BY THE DIVINE SON OF GOD IS JUST AS UNBREAKABLE. Success and accomplishments embraces the true Sabbath keeper and whose vision of life and living revolves around the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. These TWO, and the living by them, and in them, releases the Believer and Practitioner of the Faith from the bondage to spiritual prisons, mental inhibitions, and superstitions that bog down every, and any, mortal born of woman.
17

The individual is astonishingly liberated from his acquired mental chains. The invisible and visible albatross is lifted from his shoulders, so to speak. The person is quickened in many countless ways as he exults in blessings as God brings them to him in so many mysterious ways His wonders to perform.

II. YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF ANY GRAVEN IMAGE ANY LIKENESS OF ANYTHING THAT IS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH. YOU SHALL NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM NOR MERCY TO SERVE THEMI SHOW THOUSANDS, TO THOSE WHO LOVE ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
You demonstrate and express your love of God by not creating gods in your heart and mind to supplant your worship of God, just as much as you do not bow down to worship man-made idols and statues. Photographs, and paintings. Any, or everything , resembling creatures. Neither heavenly creatures, or angels. Neither man or beasts,

18

or fowls, neither fish, and insects. Nor whatever they symbolize. Stay clear off and far away from worshipping or adoring any, or all, of these.

The worlds masses have come to worship the American Dollar, it being the international currency reserve in the present world. They worship and crave for it. They live and die for it. For it has become their lifeblood, for the things and stuff it can buy and the temporary life comforts it can purchase, or bring. Even the nations crave and covet it. As it falls, other currencies will replace it. The nearest candidate could be the Euro Dollar, When the Euro Dollar becomes the worlds currency reserve, do not worship it, neither place it on your financial altar, as you may have the American greenback.

Step away from the worship of human celebrities, and their images. Screen celebrities. Or athletic icons. Avoid idolizing movie idols, action stars, or singing stars. Television and
19

celluloid images of fictional heroes and superheroes obsess tens of millions, teens, or adults alike. Be balanced in watching entertainment figures. They degenerate into idolatry. All these images create false gods and hopes in mankind. All these diminish the love and worship of the True Eternal Creator GOD, and make them forget GOD. Strange as it may seem, you could worship your own image of you to yourself. Never take yourself too seriously, as to be puffed up in futile vanity. In pride. Always have a sense of humor. Rid yourself of your pet peeves and pet vain theories that are evidently contrary to good sense, and opposed to godliness. This will contribute immensely to your good health, and enhances your good relationship with everyone whose lives are touched by your presence, your laughter, and goodwill.

AVOID being drawn to charismatic religious preachers. They can hypnotize you, substituting eloquence and gift of language, even thespian skills, for the forthright, clear, unbroken TRUTH OF THE

20

WORD OF GOD. They can explain away the perfect Law, the Holy Commandments of true righteousness, Such as this second commandment. They can explain, as indeed, they already have, that they are not worshipping idols. They worship, they say, what these images represent. These are present in their church buildings or cathedrals, but what these carved figures represent. Very easily, the naive human mind will get carried, and easily agree.

This is exactly why there are hundreds of millions of religious piety and inclination who do this. And are quite content. Smug. Satisfied. And that is how this has become a tradition. Or traditions. And then are set in the mores and cultures of the people and the land. Then it builds up with more traditions and forms of idolatry. These are accompanied with manconceived and developed memorized prayers, Rosaries, Regal vestments, Rituals, Solemn organ music. Burning candles. Burning incense. Soft voice sermons, Come out of all these.

21

III. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN; FOR THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS THAT TAKETH HIS NAME IN VAIN.
God is holy. As He is the Holy Father. And so is His Name sacred. Religious teachers have not bothered to teach believers the difference between the sacred and the profane. .And God condemns the religious leaders, and teachers, for such omission and calumny. This has caused believers to take the Name of GOD lightly. Consequently, they took the name of GOD in vain. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. The beginning of wisdom. It commences from that starting point.

22

That means reverence for GOD, for His very Name. GOD has set in motion the operation of the automatic law that whosoever takes His Holy Name in vain, and takes it for granted, is punished and chastised. God is dishonored when mortals use His name for cursing, for inane cuss words and outbursts of hateful venom for others. and for vulgar applications. For affixing His Name for expressing sudden anger. So-called intellectuals take His Name in vain when they deride that very Name and adopt denial of Gods Presence. They cause other mortals to lose reverence for His Name. They are pronounced guilty of high crimes and blasphemy by God. THE OTHER SIDE OF BLASPHEMY On the other hand, whosoever reveres His Holy Name is blessed. And his Maker honors him. And what a wonderful blessing it is when one is honored by the Creator of mankind, and Maker of the whole vast growing universe.

23

IV. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY,TO KEEP HOLY IT HOLY

9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD th at made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath 20:8day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:8- 11).

When did the seventh day Sabbath commence? Who started it? Who made it a sacred day? Turn back the pages of time when it started for created man. Read what the Holy Scriptures reveal:

1 THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His Work which He had made, and HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED IT: because that in it He had rested from all His Work which God created and made, (Book of Genesis 2:1-3).

Is the Sabbath a blessing or a burden? Is the keeping of it a legalistic commandment?

24

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable, and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 58:13-14).

The above scriptures is seemingly shouting and screaming out loudly that Sabbath remembrance and keeping is A PREMIER KEY TO TRUE AND GREAT SUCCESS NOW IN THIS TIME, IN YOUR VERY LIFETIME. The LORD God Almighty is, Himself, giving out the His Divine Guarantee and Assurance that He cause the greatest blessings to come and shineupon your life His wonders to perform:

FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.

All the liars and mountebanks out there who tell you that the Sabbath and the keeping of it is old covenant legalism and old wineskin not compatible with new wine are nothing but nobodies, and spiritual zeros to the Eternal Creator GOD who created it for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

25

WHAT IS THE SIGN THAT YOU ARE ONE OF GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE?
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily, MY SABBATHS YE SHALL KEEP: For IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 14 Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among His people. 15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR EVER: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was 31:13refreshed, (Book of Exodus 31:13-17).
*See Ezek 20:12, 20

Is the Holy Sabbath day a Feast Day of the LORD God?

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Speak the children of Israel, and say unto them, CONCERNING THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, EVEN THESE ARE MY FEASTS. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath
26

of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the convocation; Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings, (Book of
Leviticus 23:1-3). 23:1-

What was in the LORD Gods mind when He created the Sabbath day on the seventh day of Creation by resting in it? Is the commandment to keep the Sabbath ONLY for the people of Israel? Or is it applicable for all the human race? 27 And He said unto them, The Sabbath was made

for man, and not man for the Sabbath, (Gospel

Mark 2:27).

Book of

In everything that God does, mans obedience does not redound to Gdo. They all are for mans great and wonderful God. Even as man honors and praises God, man is ultimately the beneficiary of the blessings that accrue.

THE SEVEN DAY CYCLE IN NATURE

The circaseptan week is incorporated and imprinted in nature. In living things. In plants. In cells. The human body biorhythmn requires rest for refreshing and regeneration of internal body systems. The biological clock requires the weekly cycle pause, and when it is
27

reactivated, the human being functions at optimum levels. Premature wearing out occurs to those who do not recognize and practice cyclical 7-day pauses and rest for their bodies and minds.
REFRESHING. RENEWAL. RECREATION. RECHARGING REOF PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL BATTERIES. REALIGNMENT OF FOCUS. REST FROM YOUR PHYSICAL LABOURS. REST FROM THE CARES AND CONCERNS OF THIS MORTAL LIFE AND THE CONCERNS OF THE HUMAN RACE. TO REST IN THE GRACE AND GOODNESS, AND OF THE EVERLASTING MERCY, OF GOD ON THIS, HIS HOLY DAY. TO MEDITATE AND THOUGHTS DWELL IN YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT IS TRUE GOODNESS. BEAUTY. AND TRUTH. TO DRINK OF THE LIVING WATERS, WHICH IS IN CHRIST. TO FEED ON THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS THE TRUE BREAD OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN CHRIST OUR LORD. AND THEY ARE SPIRIT. AND THEY ARE LIFE. THE TRUE R & R. OF FOR OF SUCH AND ALL OF THESE ARE IN THE HOLY SABBATH DAY OF THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.

All the above accrues to, and for, mans great good. He is the beneficiary of every blessing that comes for his keeping the Holy Sabbath day holy. This is the WONDER of the wisdom of God. And they are yours to receive, IF.

*SSP-1: ESTABLISH REGULAR, DAILY *SSPSCRIPTURES. STUDY OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES.

28

THEN GOD TALKS TO YOU THAT WAY, THRU HIS HOLY WORD.

(1 Thes. 4:11; 2 Tim. 2:15).

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PERSONAL HOLY BIBLE (King James

Version) THIS IS THE IDEAL VERSION FOR

ACCURACY OF ENGLISH TRANSLATION, AND FOR GRACE AND MAJESTY OF LANGUAGE. Or The New King James Version, which is written in current modern English Language. It is fairly accurate and faithful translation from the original Hebrew of the Old Testament, and Greek of the New Testament.

EXPANDING THE LIMITS OF MORTALITY

29

How can mortal flesh and blood, born of a woman, finite, and limited, have effective access to life higher than this? THE GREAT ETERNAL CREATOR GOD, provided for that finite limitation and humanity: He caused to be inspired, and thereby to be written, His Word by which, through which, and from which human beings may receive words of Spirit, and are life, that he may live. Modern day human beings are now unwittingly sidetracked by the accomplishments of science and technology. Many are led to adopt technological gadgets as equal, even better extensions of the human faculties than God-given talents. Consequently. The many do not look to God anymore. The microchip, as the foremost, at this time. The supercomputers, and personal computers and processors, that comes with it, has come to replace the Divine Creator in their lives. Poring over the screens for many long hours has replaced prayer and spiritual meditation and solitude. Listening to endless electronic sound bytes has set aside fervent prayers with all supplications. It may well be that human beings engrossed in all these are becoming emotionally cold, and leaning towards becoming like their personal computers and electronic gadgets: INHUMANE. INSENSATE. DEVOID OF HUMAN FEELING.

30

*SSP*SSP-2 : ESTABLISH PRAYER AS A CORNERSTONE OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

YOU TALK TO GOD DIRECTLY AND INTIMATELY THIS WAY, AS HE TALKS TO YOU THRU THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, (THE BIBLE, OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT AND COVENANT). (Mt. 6:8-15; 21:22; Lk. 11:1-4; Rom 12:12; Col. 4:2; 1 Tim 5:55; 1 Thes 5:17; Rev 5:8). THIS IS YOUR TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION. FROM GOD TO YOU. FROM YOU TO GOD. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.

*SSP*SSP-3: LEARN HOW TO SING JOYFUL SONGS OF PRAISE AS A PILLAR HABIT OF YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
(Ps 67:1-6: Eph 5:19; Col. 3:16). 67:11 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all. all. nations. 3 LET THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE, O GOD; let all the people praise thee.

31

4 O LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD AND SING FOR JOY; for thou shalt judge righteously, and GOVERN THE NATIONS UPON EARTH, Selah. 5 Let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise thee. 6 THEN SHALL THE EARTH YIELD HER INCREASE; and God even our own God, shall bless us. 7 GOD SHALL BLESS US; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him, (Book of Psalms 67:1-7). 67:11 I WILL EXTOL THEE, MY GOD, O KING; and I will will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts and I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great great goodness and shall sing of thy righteousness. 8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD, and THY and SAINTS SHALL BLESS THEE.
32

11 THEY SHALL SPEAK of the glory of THY KINGDOM, and TALK OF THY POWER; 12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the GLORIOUS MAJESTY OF HIS KINGDOM. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion dominion endureth throughout all the generations, (Book of Psalms 145:1-13) 145:1THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS TO BE PROCLAIMED BY HIS SAINTS (OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD). 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto praise my God while I have any being, (Ps 146:1-2). 146:11 Praise ye the LORD for it is good to sing praises unto our Go; for it is pleasant and PRAISE IS COMELY. 5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. 7 SING UNTO THE LORD WITH THANKSGIVING; SING PRAISE UPON THE HARP UNTO OUR GOD, (Ps 147:1 ,5, 7). 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise Him in the firmament of His power. 2 Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His according excellent greatness. 3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet. Praise Him with trumpet. psaltery and harp. harp. 4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with dance: stringed instruments and organs. organs. 5 Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the cymbals: upon high sounding cymbals.
33

6 Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. PRAISE YE THE LORD, (Ps 150:1-6). 150:1(CAUTION: DO NOT USE DRUMS. DRUMS ARE IN USE BY HEATHEN AND PAGAN WORSHIPPERS WHO COMMUNICATE WITH DEMONS AND THE WICKED SPIRITS).

Your Eternal Creator GOD wills you to look beyond all human detractors, who proudly style themselves as authorities on God. As all-knowing intellectuals, and Bible scholars, who look down on down-to-earth songs of praise for and towards God. Or sneered at by self-proclaimed know-it-alls about God. Who say God does not need human praise neither songs of praise. When they deride you, do not, never, be intimidated. All these who say these things ARE FOOLS IN GODS EYES and consideration. Those who are reared in congregations, and churches, that are loath to use musical instruments listed in the Book of Psalms, and are too shy, even too embarassed, as to think they look ridiculous when they use these instruments of music in worship services are still in their spiritual infancy. They may look old in the faith. They are really babes-inChrist. They simply are vain in their shyness to follow what God has set in Holy Scriptures to follow as examples
34

in performing worship services, especially on Sabbath days, and in the Feast Days of God. GO, SHOW THEM THE JOYFUL WAY TO REALLY WORSHIP, HONOR, AND ADORE THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD BY SONGS OF PRAISE ACCOMPANIED WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. THIS IS GODS WILL AND WAY. King David of the House of Israel, a man after Gods own heart, showed the exact way, (Book of Psalms chapters144-150).

*SSPMEDITATION. *SSP-4: PRACTICE MEDITATION.

IT IS THE KEYSTONE OF RIGHT THINKING AND FOUNTAIN OF CREATIVE, FRUITFUL AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS. IT ENHANCES AND EXPANDS YOUR IMAGINATION. THE POWER OF

35

SOLITUDE WILL TRANSFORM YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, YOU THEN GROW INWARDLY FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH. YOUR INNER FOCUS FORTIFIES YOUR ENTIRE BEING.
(Josh 1:8; Ps 1:2; 119:97, 99); 1 Tim 4:15; Phil 4:7-8) 4:7-

7 And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall passeth keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things just, are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of pure, lovely , whatsoever good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, virtue, report; THINK ON THESE THINGS, (Epistle to the Philippians THINGS,
4:74:7-8).

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN SPLENDID REALITY BY YOUR THOUGHTS. SO YOU MUST HAVE THE MIND OF GOD AND CHRIST. THEN YOU LIVE IN THE MIND OF CHRIST, (First Epistle to the Corinthians 2:16).

36

9 These things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do; and the God of peace shall be with you, (Phil 4:9).
AS YOU CONTINUALLY THINK OF THESE THINGS, THEY BEGIN TO MANIFEST IN YOU AND RADIATE FROM YOU. *Meditation, consistently practiced and used, grows neurons in your brain. You ultimately become a sharper and brighter person as you advance in time and coverage of space on planet Earth. You are ever moving forward for true goodness, beauty and truth.

*SSP*SSP-5: PRACTICE SPIRITUAL FASTING WITH FERVENT PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS. SUPPLICATIONS.
THIS WILL MAKE YOU HUMBLE.

37

But to this man will I look, says God, even to him spirit, that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My Word, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 66:2). Yes. humility
attracts and draws the very attention of The LORD GOD Almighty towards you! THIS WILL DRAW YOU CLOSE AND NEAR TO GODS BOSOM. *NOW YOU CAN PLUG IN AND TAP BOUNDLESS SPIRITUAL POWER FROM THE VERY DIVINE POWER THAT HOLDS THE ENTIRE CREATED, EXPANDING GROWING UNIVERSE, TOGETHER. AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH THE DIVINE PERMISSION TO DO SO. *PRACTICE PHYSICAL FASTING WITH FRESH PRESSED FRUIT JUICE AND FRESH WATER. NO SOLIDS.

12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 13 You shall not murder. 14 You shall not commit adultery. 15 You shall not steal. 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17 You shall not covet your neighbors house; you shall not covet your neighbors wife; nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbors, (Exodus 20:12-17). 20:1234 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

22:34Book of Matthew 22:34-39).

re you a Christian? Then follow what the Master

exhorted you to become: 33 A new commandment I give

unto you. That ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall men know that you are my disciples if ye have love one one to another, (Jn 13:33, 35). 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man will lay down his life for his friends, (Gospel Book of John
15:1215:12-13).

VI. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: THAT THY DAYS MAY BE DAYS LONG UPON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE, (Book of
Exodus 20:12).

Twenty two words encapsulate in them the key principle of filial love that begins with the active verb: HONOR. It defines what true gratitude to ones parents who gave life
41

to you, is all about. Who brought you out into the light and life of the world. To HONOR without qualifications and mental reservations. It defines respect for the very mortals that were instruments in Gods Hands to bring to reality your coming into the presence of others of your fellowmen. Honor - Gratitude. Respect. Deep Affection. Doing these to, and for, your parents redounds back to you in happiness and joy for doing them. Seeing your parents delight that they have brought into the world and raised a unique person, and individual they are rightly proud of. One they call their child. Their very offspring. And they are the parents of this blessed one. Every time you honor your parents, in thought, in word, and in deed, your heavenly Parent, the LORD God Almighty blesses your life. With His protection and shield. And causes the hidden laws of good health and security to bless your very existence. You may never see it. But you will surely experience them. Some call themselves lucky. It is really the blessing of the ALMIGHTY GOD that brings all of these to your door. To you. *KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE, CORRECTLY.

HOW TO LIVE FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN

27 And GOD created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them,
(Genesis 1:27).

Thereafter, the Eternal Creator GOD blessed them (BOTH), granted then the enabling ORIGINAL DIVINE MANDATE to become cooperating stewards of the planet earth. When God said, I have given YOU, He really meant BOTH male and female. They were to equally partake of the responsibility, singularly, or jointly, to be stewards of the whole resources of the planet earth. They are not to be competitors. They are to work together, and complement each others strength. To reinforce each other, to overcome inherent weaknesses. In a marriage, the wife, the woman, is revealed as the weaker vessel, (1 Pet 3:7). THIS IS AN AXIOM.
53

WHERE DID MANKIND GO WRONG? When the human race were diverted to fix their goal onto other things than the original purpose for which they were created, it commenced to produce many false goals to live for. That singular point of reference was smashed. Or so they thought they had smashed. In the end, it is the only point of reference that remained to endure. Everything else is ephemeral. Fleeting. Fads. Mode for the time. Obsession for the moment. Fashion for a season. The Holy Scriptures reveal that the woman is the weaker vessel. The male, the man, unwittingly, or wittingly, made a choice to relegate the women aside, and claim full sovereignty of the earth and all that therein is. And the woman a lowly subject and subordinate. It went worse over the centuries. This book is not enough to catalogue all the indignities down which man has pushed down women from her original status as rightly complementary equal to the man. Thus, man unwittingly,
54

created the missing link, the missing half of his life and being. He reveled in his imagined solitary crown. He usurped all authority to himself. In so doing, he diminished and hurt his own potential for total fulfillment that was foreordained for both of them, male and female, man and woman, to jointly share. Thus, the paradox of the proverbial glass, half empty, and half full.

MANKIND MUST TURN TO THE ONLY TRUE GUIDE AND AUTHORITY ON HOW HE MUST LIVE AND BE
At this juncture in mankinds long history, he is confronted with crises after crises. The human race is simply unable to know how to cope with each, and all of them. Being mortal flesh and blood, , the human beings of this planet go into a mode of denial. Better to forget, than to go to God for help. Earth-bound, gravity-drawn mortals., born of woman, are, without exception crises-challenged from which real threat of extinction on a mass scale is being projected moment by moment to humanitys habitation, to mother Earth. The convergence of catastrophic weather disturbances bringing havoc and utter destruction is confounding
55

leaders and citizens alike of affected nations and inhabitants thereon. As Nature strikes back, all the handiworks of their thinking, planning, building, and projections for future this and future that are being dashed to hopeless pieces. These, they know not how to cope with, much less solve. Then disease and hunger stalk the ravaged land. What to do? WE, NOW, ALL LIVE ON THE EDGE OF SUFFERING AND WOE Circa June 2008, massive earthquakes of 7.0 to 8.0 magnitude are happening one after the other. For the first time in living memory. Southern China continues to try to cope with one. 80,000 dead, tens of thousands perished and buried in the rubble of buildings that crashed in the thousands. Continuing rain bring landslides. Now floods in Guangdong and Zhenshen. The threat of floods from the Yangtze River is terrifying hundreds of millions of Chinese. Deadly cyclones hit regions, as the Irrawady delta of
56

Burma/Myanmar, and 150,000 people are dead. Millions homeless. Devastation so widespread. The Land of God this was the original name of China has suffered intermittently, throughout the 4,500 years of its existence. Nature has interrupted its civilization building. What is happening right now, as it rises to the top of the world economy, is a warning. WIL IT HEED THE WARNING AND SEEK THE HELP OF THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD OF THE CHINESE PEOPLES? In the United States of America, at just about the same month, the state of Iowa is nnder siege of floods. Thousands of beautiful homes under water. Worst than Hurricane Katrina, the reports indicate. Other states were devastated with deadly tornadoes. Twisters that came unexpectedly and disappeared just as quickly, leaving destruction and broken lives. Have the peoples of the United States of America, a nation of immigrants from all the nations of the whole earth, forgotten the Eternal Creator GOD? Was not this great country founded on Belief and Trust in GOD? IN GOD WE TRUST IS
57

IMPRINTED ON THE FACE OF THE ONCE ALMIGHTY AMERICAN DOLLAR. Have they turned away from Him by taking up heathen culture and ungodly ways? ARE NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BIBLES PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY AND FROM THAT CHRISTIAN COUNTRY? Have they departed from knowing HOW TO LIVE BY GODS WORD, WILL, AND WAY? WHAT TO DO? Against natural calamities as above, human beings, of every color and race, are rendered helpless., frozen, immobilized. And then, somehow, they turn to GOD who created all of them. Somehow, they might, and yet again, they may not. Eight hundred passengers perished in the ferry that listed over and sanked near the Sibuyan Island of the Philippines. It is reported that the owners of the ferry allowed the vessel to sail while the warning of a powerful typhoon Fengsheng was being broadcast in the last week of June 2008. The grievous tragedy could have been
58

prevented. Yet people are stubborn to heed warnings of imminent danger. This publications page is a memorial to those that died, and offers comfort and solace to the families and love ones that are left in the land of the living. They turn to the GOD they refused to know and get help from. IT IS A LESSON TO LEARN FROM So singularly, or jointly, or individually, man, and woman, must learn as an imperative, to come to a close relationship with their Eternal Creator GOD. For He is the one and only source and wellspring of help and direction that really and truly matter.
