STATEMENT OF FAITH — RECLAIMING SPIRITUALITY ™
RECLAIMING SPIRITUALITY — A CONFESSION OF BELIEF, KNOWINGNESS, AND
FAIRNESS IN A TIME OF CONFUSION AND IGNORANCE
It is time to be sincere followers of God, the Holy Spirit, the
Trinity, and the Master Jesus.
It is time to stand up for the rights of all people; stand up for the
most vulnerable, protect the elderly, protect widows and orphans, respect victims of
crime, protect Christians from hatred and bigotry, condemn the burning of churches and
government buildings, assist working families who have been disenfranchised, help those
who value children, and innovate education for all.
It is time to reject bigotry toward anyone regardless of their
ethnicity, creed, skin color, country of origin, cultural heritage, or even eye color.
At this juncture in time, most Americans are descendants of ethnic minorities.
Earnest belief and authentic spiritual knowledge lead us to what we
must reject. What we confess as our faith leads to truth and guides us to reject hate,
ignorance, divisiveness, ethno-racism, discrimination, anti-Christian bigotry, and
political bias.
When politics oppresses religious freedom and harms unity and
spirituality, we must expose extremist “anti-Christian” ministers who mock our sincere
desire for inner peace, harmony, self-respect, and faith-based empowerment beliefs.
GOD is NOT GOVERNMENT and Government IS NOT
GOD.
“Racist Social Justice Policies are the Crack Cocaine of the Masses.” Bolshevism,
Socialism, and Communism are proven “anti-spiritual religious opioids of the weak mind”
that are used to destroy families, oppress workers, and keep the poor begging. These
totalitarian forms of Bolshevik non-spiritual extremism must not fester in church or
country.
Making government or “social justice” your Master and God is not in
accordance with the Teachings of Jesus. Forcing one group into economic shame or slavery
for the benefit of others is a crime against humanity.
All people should be free to work, create, and master their destiny.
The role of government is to enforce justice for all — not to give
unequal justice for political cronies, bureaucratic
elitists, or religious socialist elitists. The same golden rule should apply to any
priest or church, where no person should be shamed or oppressed from the pulpit
because of their ancestry, heritage, mixed race, skin color, ethnicity, or national
origin.
WE REJECT CRIME, COLLUSION, AND INJUSTICE
We believe each human being is made in God’s image and likeness
(Genesis 1:26). Victim injustice and crime toward women and children have overcome our
inner cities. Bigotry toward anyone of any ethnicity is morally and spiritually wrong.
We give thanks for the historic role of the ancient churches in America, but we admit
that the leaders of the Church have failed with their complicit involvement in bigotry
and injustice.
Sadly, many of today’s religious elitists have difficulty making the
civil rights and freedoms of children, the elderly, and local congregations an important
priority. While children go hungry in the inner cities and urban crime runs rampant,
priests and bishops take the cowardly road and rant against their “alleged” political
opposition while doing nothing about war, crime, corruption, church crimes, sexual
assault, rape, drug deaths, and violence against the elderly, women, and children.
Lately, we have seen bishops dress up in full regalia to march against
peace officers when not one of them has marched for a rape victim, a violently beaten
woman, or an abused child.
WORLD PEACE
People of faith demand peace. The last 25 years of war up until 2017
were not truly justified by canon law and international law.
For eight years, there was failed war from 2009–2017. This failure
created billions of lost dollars that could have been used to educate and feed our
youth. Priests and bishops supported this war in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan,
Libya, Yemen, and Somalia. Our diplomats were murdered, tortured, raped, and our embassy
was blown up in 2012. Bishops and priests stood idly by and praised the president.
Since 2017, we have enjoyed peace and prosperity for the first time in
a generation until the pandemic set upon the world in January 2020. We should all join
to demand strength through peace and help build our domestic house from the inside while
empowering our people and nation to continue the present prosperity and peace in the
year of our Lord (2019).
Before the foreign virus attack, all people in the USA were enjoying
record-breaking prosperity, jobs, and health care options. Bishops now sit by and watch
a war with Russia and Ukraine and offer no diplomacy or ideas.
RESPECT SACRED SPACE
We repudiate and condemn any priest, bishop, or deacon who uses the
pulpit to serve their political party or to spread divisiveness with racial slurs and
bigotry. The church is a sacred place.
To attempt to bolster hatred or guilt upon any race for the color of
their skin or for where their ancestors came from is not only a sin — hate or fighting
words are not protected speech under the U.S. Constitution.
Many congregations are mixed race with various ethnicities, and having
a white or non-white priest inflict trauma, shame, or bigotry toward little children,
women, and babies in the audience is totally unacceptable.
While church rules and regulations on reconciliation prohibit the use
of political and racial politics from the pulpit, priests and bishops continue to breach
the rules out of stupidity, defiance, and ignorance.
Many of the priests and bishops were not raised in an Anglican faith
of their “priestly employment” and simply don’t understand the rules, culture, and
ethics of the Church. While over 60% of the worldwide Anglican Church is African, church
leaders in the USA are dumb enough to protest the Church as if it has no diversity,
while the Protestant Church continues ignoring Hispanics, Asians, people of India,
Native Americans, Africans, and Eurasians in general.
THE CHURCH AND THE NEW BOTTOM-UP HIERARCHY
While the Church of the past was not a democracy, the church
membership suffers because truth and facts expose the hypocrisy of priests and bishops
who rail against their imaginary opposition while remaining loyal to the political
parties that created or supported slavery, segregation, lynching, the KKK, and Jim
Crow.
The twenty-first century brought in a new republicanism where
congregants can communicate with thousands or millions of fellow church members via
email and social media about a corrupt Church and expose incompetent church leaders or
their criminal behavior.
People of our Church have the right to expose the truth to all
congregations, conduct mass emailings, post on social media, and report any charity that
is violating the political restrictions under the law. If any priest or bishop
intentionally uses premeditated language that is harmful to congregants or anyone, they
should be punished or fired.
Priests do not have free speech in church and should not, under the
law, use language or attacks which may harm or injure a child, PTSD victim, recovering
addict, survivor of violence, victim of rape or murder, or any other person suffering
from injury, sickness, or related trauma.
For priests to casually bolster the rights of criminals or support the
platforms of political parties that supported Jim Crow, slavery, and the KKK is
negligent and fraudulent propagation of issues that may cause extreme trauma and harm to
congregants.

Excellent — I’ll continue the Statement of Faith – Reclaiming Spirituality™ from where
we left off, maintaining every word and meaning, only correcting spelling, punctuation, grammar, and typesetting, and
adding light formatting for readability (bold headings, italics for scripture,
consistent paragraph breaks).
HUMAN RIGHTS
Those who believe in God reject the injustice of:
involuntary servitude, confiscation of labor, privacy violations,
spying, wiretaps, illegal search and seizure, and other crimes against
humanity.
People of faith reject the use of fake evidence and fake testimony to frame innocent
victims, as this is what was done to Jesus the Christ when He died on the Cross.
The recent wiretaps and spying on political campaigns and unjustified
wars by former leaders are condemned and should be punished by censure, jail, reparations, or incarceration.
WE REJECT HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Human trafficking must be stopped. Criminals and fugitives should not
be allowed to traffic women, little girls, and children across borders and profit from
drugs, prostitution, and slavery.
Italian human trafficking laws were the first in the USA to make
trafficking a crime. Italian slavery was not banned in the United States until the
1870s—almost nine years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Italians were finally freed
from human bondage and human trafficking in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City in
June 1874 by the Padrone Act.
American Christians and the Republican abolitionists have already
stood up against slavery supported by complicit religious bodies or political
organizations such as the Confederate Democrats.
THEREFORE, WE REJECT RACIAL FRAUD AND RACIAL HATRED
We, as believers of the teachings of Jesus and other great prophets,
reject the use of racial slurs, racial ignorance, and bigotry for political gain and
oppression that we have seen. In the face of the last decade (2007–2017) of bigotry,
theft, corruption, and spying, our silence is complicity. We refute any person who
discriminates against their political opponents by calling their opponents racist names
and slurs.
The resurgence of ethnic-political supremacists and racial
divisiveness on all fronts—particularly in the last 10 years of ethnic oppression in the
highest levels of political leadership—has disenfranchised millions of citizens in favor
of a few political cronies and supporters (1993–2016).
In particular, we reject any ethnic supremacy of the past. We reject
racist crimes of the past by entities against any and all people. Bodies such as
unions, seminaries, religions, universities, political parties,
athletic teams, and the like should pay restitution to anyone they have
harmed.
Any unfair advantage given to one group over another based on skin
color or ethnic origin should be forever abolished, and no new special ethnic privileges
should be created for any one race or ethnicity.
WE REPUDIATE THE RACIST INSTITUTIONS OF THE PAST
Heretofore, we reject crimes of the Democrat Party over the last 400
years such as the creation and complicity in Jim Crow, slavery, the KKK, segregation, and the Civil
War.
We reject the Confederate Democrat Party’s creation of Jim Crow that
lasted up to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
We commit ourselves to help dismantle the systems and structures that
perpetuate any preference and advantage for any group over another based on hate
politics, ethnicity, beliefs, or culture.
MONUMENTS OF HATE
We also demand that the people and priests registered in the
Confederate Democrat Party remove their monuments of hate at their own expense to prevent
further Charlottesville-type tragedies.
APOLOGY AND RACIAL RECONCILIATION
We demand that entities such as seminaries, religious bodies, universities, unions, and
the local and national Confederate Democrat Party entities apologize
immediately for slavery, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, and any
murders of innocent people, such as the mass lynchings
of Italians.
WE DEMAND PEACE, JOBS, SAFETY, AND PROSPERITY
People of faith want peace, good jobs to express their talents, safe
and good schools, safe streets, safe workplaces, fair trade, fair immigration,
rebuilding our nation first, financial sustainability, fair taxes and reduction of
economic slavery, business-friendly laws for working moms and dads, fair treatment of
veterans, respect and assistance to crime victims, affordable women’s and family health,
in-state tuition for all, 100% elder and child care and education expense deductions for
productivity, fair corporate tax rates so wages of employees can be better, civil rights
for all, victims’ rights against criminals, elder care rights, social justice for all
citizens, sustainable government, protecting farmers and the environment, and peace in
Arabia, Africa, and Asia.
We also respect the modernization of trade and NATO, NAFTA, and getting out of bad deals that
hurt working families.
And of course, we respect energy independence, which enables a no-war policy and
peace through strength.
FAIR MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
After years of mistreatment of children and families on the border
(1993–2017), we need a U.S. Commission to modernize immigration from the other 50+
American nations in this hemisphere and all other countries.
We also need to fix the broken asylum and refugee rules. All ethnic
minorities should be protected from cheap and unfair labor importation into the USA.
Like Joseph and Mary going to pay their census or taxes, people must
be able to move about legally under a smart policy.
EQUAL PROTECTION
We are one nation. Therefore, we should abolish all forms of racial
preferences for jobs, school admission, or any government measure that uses race or
gender to put one person ahead of another, which disenfranchises hardworking
families.
For example, the people of EurAsia constitute over 101 nations, thousands of
ethnicities, and over five billion people—to disenfranchise them based on
their ancestry is a crime against humanity.
To attack any one continent of people as being racist is both ignorant
and against natural law.
Eurasians include Japanese, Arabian, Chinese, Portuguese, Scottish,
Hispanic, Latin American, Irish, Mongolian, Russian, Sicilian, Turkish, and dozens of
other nationalities and races.
Immigration should be fair, and our nation should recruit people of
all lands equally who have self-respect and will love their neighbors as themselves.
WE CONDEMN PRIESTS WHO COMMITTED SEX CRIMES AND CLERGY SEX
MOLESTERS
Therefore, we condemn the sex crimes by past bishops, priests, and
leaders. We condemn sexual harassment and molestation by religious leaders, misogyny,
and assault of women and boys.
We emphatically reject and condemn the systematic and structural
problem of rape and sodomy of children in churches by priests and bishops, and the
oppression of any child of God by any public or religious institution.
There should be no special treatment of priests, sex offenders, or
child molesters, and these criminals should be subject to the same prison sentences as
terrorists and other murderers of souls.
WE BELIEVE IN SUSTAINABILITY
We must use sustainability in all affairs. As with King Solomon
(1 Kings 3:16–28 CEV), we cannot cut a baby in half to satisfy
liars and thieves. If you take from one to give to another, both will die.
Thus, robbing from a starving family within our community to feed
others from outside the community is a non-sustainable offense.
Putting those who refuse to contribute above the children of working
mothers and fathers is a national transgression that violates Biblical teachings,
spiritual, ethical, and canon law.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE LAWS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
We believe in the Ten Commandments: “You shall not bear false witness” (Exodus 20:16). Bishops and priests who politically condemn
others without facts should be fired or resign.
Recently, one U.S. House of Bishops condemned the government’s use of
federal officers to protect U.S. property from terrorist arson. Any priest who does not
condemn terrorism of federal buildings and the “KKK-style” bombing of churches should be
terminated and exposed as a fraud of Christianity.
Further, we reject past leaders who have perjured themselves, lied,
and defrauded the people.
We repudiate false prophets and crony-capitalist politicians who have
stolen from the people using fake charities and fake foundations. Using charities or
foundations to avoid taxes and give tax breaks to political cronies is a horrific theft
against the poor and the principles of ethics and spirituality.
ETHNIC FRAUD
We are universally against any person who has defrauded the government
or our universities by the use of fake names, fake ethnicity, fake nationalities, or
phony credentials to receive special treatment or special admissions into our finest
universities.
Lying about where you were born or about your ethnicity to get special
treatment should be a crime punishable by jail.
The people who committed these crimes stole a seat away from the most
vulnerable and poor children who sought to be their best. These offenders stole a seat
from deserving women and men who have made lifelong sacrifices to achieve admission to
top institutions.
WE BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE DESERVE BASIC FREEDOMS FOR SAFETY AT WORK,
EDUCATION, AND BASIC NEEDS
The government must serve the working families and all people:
“Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s.” — Matthew 22:15–22; Mark 12:13–17.
WE REJECT LEFTIST RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS AND ETHNIC
SUPREMACISTS
We reject all anti-spiritual groups including: anti-spiritual leftists, leftist fascists, dictator-communists,
leftist-communist extremists, totalitarian socialists, and
leftist fundamentalist religious extremists.
With recent “anti-Christian” killings and assassinations of peace
officers in Dallas, Baton Rouge, San Diego, Pennsylvania, and many other states by
“anti-law and order” fanatics, we must root out all anti-peace and anti-law extremists
who desire to murder our peace officers, burn our churches, or harm our
parishioners.
The vast majority of mass shootings are by repeat offenders and
inner-city criminals who have an anti-Christian or anti-Semitic mindset. Typical hate
crimes have gone down drastically over the years, but anti-Christian and anti-Jewish
attacks have risen greatly in the past few years since 2009.

POOR AND OPPRESSED”
Would you like me to maintain the same Markdown layout (with bold
section headers and italic scripture quotes), or would you prefer a Word document style
(block paragraphs and centered titles) for final publication?
WE BLESS & APPRECIATE A SUSTAINABLE AMERICA FIRST
POLICY
Therefore, we repudiate any “America Last” philosophy as sheer theological ignorance.
While we share a patriotic love for all people and all countries, we reject
national preferences that place any nation over other nations, and we reject any
policy that puts a non-citizen over our citizens.
We condemn nations that cheat and steal using financial schemes, cheap
labor, and cheap goods to intentionally bankrupt quality-first organizations. We also
demand the innovation of the outdated asylum and refugee laws, which must be updated as
the existing laws have allowed for “religious litmus tests” for over 50 years that
discriminate against Christians and the most vulnerable.
We also reject any “cut-the-line” immigration policies for specific
underserved nations abroad, which eventually take resources from our local widows and
orphans.
“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his
holy dwelling.” — Psalm 68:5
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
We, as a Judeo-Christian community, repudiate hate. When the counselor
in the Gospel of Luke illuminated the two great laws to Jesus, the lawyer said:
Luke 10:25–37 — “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Sadly, many narcissistic Christians have not learned to authentically
love themselves and therefore spend all of their time hating themselves, hating others,
denigrating successful people, and opposing freedom and equality between people and
nations.
Some in our community who claim to be Christian would allow racial
preferences for one group over another so that the merits and talents of our loving God
are oppressed and overlooked. Putting Italians, Asians, Russians, Arabs, Irish,
Slovenians, or any people at the back of the bus in the name of Christianity is not only
a crime against God and heresy but also utterly ignorant.
CHILDREN
For church leaders to ignore the children of the congregation is a
violation of our purpose. Thousands of churches and priests spend the majority of their
time trying to pad their “social justice” résumé while ignoring the obligations and
duties of teaching about the Gospel, the sacred books, and the benefits of the faith to
our children.
By ignoring our children and elderly and focusing on politics and
ethnic divisiveness, the faith has lost about 50% of its believers in the USA in the
past 30 years. This negligence by priests who want to be political advocates
spiritually bankrupts the Church.
Priests who do not teach the healing and prosperity aspects of the
Gospel of Jesus are not true believers, as their consciousness is consumed with
political hate and injustice.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell
you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” —
Matthew 18:10
GOVERNMENT
The Church should condemn any “anti-faith” socialist and communist
tendencies. In the last 40 years, the socialists in government have taken over the
charitable work and power of the Church, while the outreach aspects of the Church have
become more and more meaningless due to government intervention and dependency.
Many of the leftist members and leaders in the Church have quit
tithing and donating because their government agencies have become their “Higher Power.”
At the present rate of incompetence, leaders may be fleecing the assets of the churches
to fund their lifestyles and retirements because membership is dwindling so quickly.
Priests and bishops could have easily increased their memberships, but
they decided to drag politics and race into the sacred space, which has driven away the
most successful parishioners in a short amount of time.
Proverbs 29:2 (ESV) — “When the righteous increase, the people
rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
PASTORAL CARE
Priests and bishops have become administrators shirking their pastoral
duties. While church priests used to spend 50% or more of their time with congregants
providing pastoral care, sacramental care, Sunday School, and wise counsel, the priests
of today largely ignore their congregants and are legally underskilled at providing any
teachings or counseling.
Many priests see themselves as actors and singers and have no idea how
to lift up parishioners with experiential views of the Gospel to help families and
children grow and prosper.
SANCTUARY
It is against God’s law to give sanctuary to violent fugitives, child
molesters, rapists, murderers, kidnappers, and terrorists. No women, men, or children
should suffer rape, torture, molestation, or dismemberment by a fugitive who has been
granted religious-based sanctuary.
Those who do give sanctuary to a fugitive are depriving the offender
of a fair trial and judgment by their peers in their home country.
Simply put, Christians are in favor of protecting religious minorities
with asylum or refugee status, but rational Christians are not for violent fugitives—who have not paid their debt
to their mother society—receiving any special protections.
ECONOMIC BONDAGE
We as Christians believe that the House of Christ should have adequate
funds to serve the poor, but if the Church does not use money for the poor, then it is
wasting congregational tithes.
If state, federal, and city taxes are too high, the government robs
the ability of the churches, temples, and mosques to help and assist widows, orphans,
the elderly, and the sick. Any cutback on tax deductions to real charities is an attack
on Christianity and spirituality.
It is against natural law and canon law to enable economic bondage
upon working mothers and fathers in the form of punitive taxation. Tolls and taxation
that are too high prevent women and children from having the funds to get ahead, pay
debt, attend church, and get an education—and deprive believers of making tithes and
donations to help the poor and the sick in our communities.
GENDER HATRED
As Christians, we reject all forms of gender hatred or hatred of
children. We are against misogyny and mistreatment of women, and we are further against
misandry—the hatred of boys or men.
Over 100 million fathers are responsible for providing support for
their young girls in the USA. Therefore, discrimination against men hurts little girls,
and discrimination against women hurts all men.
IMMIGRATION
Priests and bishops have little or no immigration education. Since
Mary and Joseph traveled to pay their taxes and report for the census for Rome,
immigration and taxation of workers have been a constructive process. Every civilized
nation has regulations, rules, and ethics for immigration.
China, Arabia, and Latin American countries charge fees for
immigration, and immigration is a for-profit activity almost everywhere in the
world.
Allowing fugitives to come into this nation and deprive poor minority
children and the elderly of funds for food, medicine, and education is not only
spiritually ignorant but also causes injury to the most vulnerable.
The detention centers and cages built by prior leaders should be
emptied by sending everyone back to their mother country unless the immigrant can show
asylum or refugee status with a lawyer.
SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Inner cities have curtailed the growth of trees and foliage. We
encourage all people from cities to help the environment: plant trees, and respect the
land.
Most landowners are mindful of their property, but large cities must
have a sustainable and respectful mindset toward the surrounding rural lands, trees,
livestock, and farms.
We understand that there are many types of farmers—of food,
vegetables, livestock, trees, oil, gas, minerals, and more. We demand to have local laws
that protect farmers and make these local jobs and careers safe and competitive on a
worldwide scale. These agricultural landowners feed the world and clothe the
children.
If our local people are oppressed and cannot farm their product or
service effectively while people in other countries can farm much cheaper, then we are
hurting the affordable production of life-sustaining food, housing, energy, and
beverages for our local people and city residents.
CHRISTIAN LOVE & NATIONAL DEVOTION
We reject anti-Christian and anti-American bishops and priests as
halfwits and agitators. Any priest or bishop that rejects Christian enthusiasm or a
child’s loving faith should be either fired or sent back for an education.
As for Christian nationalists—it is ridiculous that any priest or
bishop repudiates people who are enthusiastic and happy about their faith and country.
Christian nationalism is merely gratitude, which is a form of
love. God is love, and we cannot reject love.
In the Gospel of Luke, the lawyer clearly explains the law to Jesus
regarding loving thy neighbor as thyself. Bishops and priests shame themselves and defy
the great law by repudiating Christian charisma, enthusiasm, and those who have learned
to love themselves and to love Jesus and God.
From Armenia to Russia to Coptic Egypt, the ancient Christian churches
have been based in sovereignty and rule for over 1,000 years. Thus, rejecting sovereign
Christian dignity is not only foolish but a woefully uneducated idea.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” — Matthew
12:25
For any church or priest to spew hate and confusion against their
fellow man or against government leaders without probable cause is a sin against the
congregation and the diocese.
Just because a bishop’s favorite candidate lost an election is not a
reason to try to use Jesus to impugn a leader who seeks peace and prosperity for the
people. From 2001–2017, we suffered through years of war, joblessness, and incompetence,
and if you did not stand up against the last eight years of fraud and war, you have no
right to stand up today with fake complaints.
In sum, we believe that the past totalitarian political leadership is a
theological hazard that threatens our democracy and the common good — and we will
continue to counterattack all forms of oppression, waste, corruption, and
incompetence.
Excellent — here is the final section of your document,

corrected for clarity and presentation.
RECLAIMING SCRIPTURE TO EMPOWER THE POOR AND
OPPRESSED
When I think of lack or limitation, I now think of the teachings of the
“Law of Abundance.”
John 10:10 — “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.”
When I worry about my perception and the truth, I can reflect on the
“Law of Thought.”
Matthew 6:22 — “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are
good, your whole body will be full of light.”
When I want to procrastinate, I can remember the “Law of Action” and take steps each day toward improving
my body, mind, and spirit.
Luke 9:62 — Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow
and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.”
When I have annoying thoughts, I can consider the
“Law of Love.”
Matthew 22:36–40 — Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first
and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
When I wonder about my capabilities and ability to serve, the
“Law of Success” must be pondered.
John 14:12 — “The works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do.”
When I want to react or become overly attached to a situation instead
of being still, walking away, or responding in a spiritual manner, the
“Law of Non-Resistance” comes to mind.
Matthew 5:39 — “Resist not evil…”
When I wonder about the government and authority, I recall the
“Law of Obedience.”
Mark 12:17 — “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is
God’s.”
I then realize that my spiritual life transcends politics.
When I am harboring anger or resentment, I try to observe the
“Law of Forgiveness” and the freedom that I receive by
giving forgiveness, praying for others, and allowing myself to be forgiven.
Luke 6:37 — “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not
condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be
forgiven.”
When I wonder if things will improve, I must give credence to the
“Law of Increase” and consider helping others and
serving humanity.
Luke 6:38 — “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For
with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
When I feel unworthy, I should observe the “Law of Receiving” and become open to receiving and
having a blessed life.
Luke 16:12 — “And if you have not been trustworthy with someone
else’s property, who will give you property of your own?”
When I feel lazy or unmotivated, the “Law of Compensation” often comes to mind, and I try a
little harder to plant good seeds of work into the world.
Galatians 6:7 — “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.”
When I don’t feel like preparing or becoming ready to embrace life, I
sometimes consider the “Law of Preparedness.”
Matthew 22:14 — “For many are called, but few are
chosen.”
When I lose focus on the good and become distracted from my purpose,
the “Law of Attraction” is indeed worth respecting.
Matthew 6:21 — “For where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also.”
When I am afraid to take risks, ask for help, change, or grow, the
“Law of Supply” is sometimes the secret to my
transformation.
Matthew 7:7 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”
