Are you a Real Christian, walking in the Spirit of Christ

Are you a Real Christian, walking in the Spirit of Christ?

Written by Joseph Ho, 10th August 2009.

Most Christians today conform to a set of church teachings which defines their unique denominations, but this is only a subset of the total way of the Lord. They become conformed to external compliance to a standard religious behavior set by their pastor?s knowledge and understanding. They are more bound by peer pressure and desperately seek the approval of fellow Christians. The real Christian are sons and daughters of God, they walk in Spirit and Truth, their transformation is real and lasting not counterfeit nor pretentious, when they talk their actions are in line with their body mind and spirit and they are naturally in obedience to God as a way of life. They do not try to be Christians they are in Christ and Christ dwells in them. These are the real ones who cling to the Rock in times of crisis and stormy weathers; they trust God totally even unto death. God is part of their lives and he becomes an integral part of whatever they do and think.

Mark 7:6-8?(New International Version)

6He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
” ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.’ 8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

The most difficult thing to understand about the Christian living is how sanctification works; how should anyone actually go about living the Christian life? The Law is meant as a restraint, it reveals what Sin is; it accuses the sinner of their sin. So is the Law and Grace of God opposing in nature? No. It is not. As a young Christian, you will need the Law to know what is acceptable or not in the sight of God. Without the acceptance of God no one can lead an overcoming life and they will have no power to restraint Sin. Sin is the demonic suggestions that tempt the person, like what the Serpent did to Eve in the Garden of Eden. The serpent tempts Eve into eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Sin makes you its slave to obey the lust of the flesh and not the Law of God. Sin caused you to fall short of the Glory of what God wants to see in you.

So God has to send us the helper in times of Grace. The helper is the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus to help us in times of need. Jesus said, to those who asked it shall be given in Luke 11:9 to 13.

Luke 11:9-13?(New International Version)

9″So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11″Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

If you need the Holy Spirit, you have to formally ask for this indwelling. God must dwell inside of you for you to have the full power to resist the Devil. The Holy Spirit will show you all truth. But before you can have Jesus and the Father God dwelling inside of you, you have to build your house.

John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Haggai 1:7-11?(New International Version)

7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the LORD. 9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the LORD Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. 11 I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil and whatever the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on the labor of your hands.”

What is the meaning of building your house? It means build your spiritual body the house of the living God so that he will dwell in you and do not focus on building your physical house of wealth and earthly things. We are all living stones build in his image and we should conform to his ways and teachings.

In order for us to be over-comers, we need to be tested for our faith and believe. Make no mistakes, God will test everyone because he said, when the storms comes the house which stood on the Rock will be left untouched. Jesus is the Rock. But believing in Jesus Christ alone is not enough, even the devil believed in Christ and they also knows scriptures. So a real Christian needs more than that and what is the thing that they need? When we accept Christ, we have only gone through justifications. Accepting Jesus Christ only allows us into the narrow gate, but we need to move past that gate into the promise land.? This is the first step of Justification in which we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and Christ, our Savior and that he shed his blood to redeem me from eternal death.

Is this all there is as a Christian, just saying these few words and our live will be good and smooth and blessings will flow through us? No, the next step is Sanctification. When God brought his people out from Egypt, they had to walk through the desert from one place to another until they reached the Jordan. But by that time they reached the Jordan only 2 men of the entire generation at that time managed to cross over. Who are they? They were Caleb and Joshua. And what do they represent in the sight of God? They represent in the case of the name of Caleb, whole heartedness and faithful, while Joshua represents salvation comes from God, and he is also faithful bold and courageous. Caleb had confident that he can conquer all his enemies by the presence of God in him, while Joshua could command all the people to fight the enemies of Israel and gain victory through listening to God and being obedient, he had faith and action. These are the combined qualities of the true Christian who can enter the promise land.

Sanctification is a deliverance and house building process. During this process, God will send manna from heaven and that represents his word to us. This word is given to us daily and not weekly, God will send us daily food from heaven; his word. If we were to use yesterday?s word or keep his word for tomorrow it will turn into maggots and harm us not bless us. The same word applied the next day will not be suitable for us since it is a today?s word a now word for us to do today.

Exodus 16:19-20?(New International Version)

19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”

20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.

Sanctification is freedom from the ritual acts of Sin. Sanctification comes from constant training our spirit, mind and body to the obedience in Christ to gain freedom from Sin. Freedom is gain when we are freed from the bondages of Sin. Whenever we Sin, we are subjected to obey its commands. Sin torments us until we obey its commands and manifest its wishes, once done it gives us some release until it torments us again. Gambling, alcoholism, smoking, sexual immorality, and fear are some examples of this type of Sin that have a hold on your body mind and soul. It is called a habit in human terms but it has its spiritual roots of binding the sinner to its commands. This Sin gives us temporal release and escape from a world of capitalistic control. The pressure of Mammon (Mammon means God of Money) rules the entire world and everyone becomes its slave. Therefore when we need some peace of mind we run towards one of the above habits to find some form of release, its called escapism from the world of demands.

When the pressures come, we run towards our familiar rituals because it gives us real temporal relief, we suck on our cigarettes to ease our mind, we drink our whiskey to dull our mind to create a state of euphoria and we caress strange women paid by price to gain love and acceptance; all to find some short term release from the demands of a world ruled by merciless Mammon. The more you do the more you will do it, since it gives us a temporary fix. As the Great Lord God has mentioned many times, the wages of Sin is death. All these Sin have their consequences and its only a matter of time they catches up with the Sinner. Cigarettes, booze, women for sex all will destroy your health, reputation and it puts holes into your pocket because Sin is expensive. That is why the poor can not afford to Sin since they have no extra cash or money.

Sin makes you pay tribute to the 5 kings in the days of Joshua when he entered the promise land. Once we cross the Jordan, we have to fight these 5 kings. Those who supplied the Booze, Cigarettes, Women, drugs are all servants of Satan and Mammon rules them and those who patronize them are slaves to the 5 kings because they took their unclean spiritual food and became a slave to them through Mammon. This is a willing buyer and seller situation sanctioned by our economic wizards of this world who created this system.

Sanctification is thus a deliverance from spiritual bondages it?s the application of our spiritual sword to cut and sever the unholy ties to become the slave to Sin and demonic suggestion. Without sanctification, we can not be acceptable in the sight of God. Everyone who is justified will be sanctified whether they believe it or not; it will take place since they have declared that Jesus is their Lord, so Jesus will chastise everyone he calls son. So if your life is still not right, don?t expect to be blessed with a lot of good things, God will not put authority and position on you if you are not trained and qualified for that position. So how long can the process get? As long as you are humble, obedient and trainable it will get faster, but the more you rebel the longer it gets. And God promised that when we seek him diligently, we will find him.

Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Peter Bedard is a hypnotherapist who lives in Los Angeles. He has come close to dying several times and has healed himself of fibromyalgia, chronic sinus infections, bronchitis, asthma, an allergy to chlorine, sciatica, and fifteen years of chronic pain. He has even had to learn how to walk again. In dealing with his health conditions the only options that he was aware of were Western medicine and pharmaceutical drugs. He first discovered alternative health practices when his back was so out of whack that he couldn?t walk. The Western medical doctors were recommending surgery but he knew from watching his father whose vertebrae had been fused together that he didn?t want that. He discovered acupuncture through a referral from a friend and he literally dragged himself into his first acupuncture appointment. He crawled into that office a skeptic but amazingly walked out a believer.

We hope that you, in your experimenting with alternative health practices, will find a practice that heals and inspires you. Healing is a two way street and just by taking your health and situation in hand you are already beginning the process of creating the health you want.

Reiki, a Powerful Tool for Mind, Body and Spirit

The interest in alternative medicine is growing rapidly today. Among the huge number of healing methods available, Reiki has become very popular around the world, especially since science has verified the existence of the universal life energy that Reiki is based on. Reiki is a powerful holistic healing system; it heals on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

So what is Reiki? Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. It is a very simple method that uses universal life energy, the energy which permeates our entire universe and all living things. This universal life energy is called qi or chi in China, prana in India, and ki in Japan and this is where the Reiki name derives. It circulates throughout the body and in an energy field surrounding the body. This energy field, long been known to healers and mystics, is now verified by scientists. Recent scientific experiments have verified the existence of this life force energy. Scientists have proven that everything in the universe, at a sub-atomic level, is made up of energy. Health is the harmonious flow of life energy, while imbalances in this flow, due to unhealthy habits or negative emotions lead to illness. So this subtle energy is responsible for the processes in our body on all levels: physical, emotional and mental. Reiki is channeled through the hands of the practitioner into the body of the receiver and balances the energy flow in the body.

Reiki is a holistic healing system, i.e. it addresses the whole person: the physical, mental, emotional and the spiritual levels. The body is not made up of isolated parts to be fixed, but an amazing web of energy, and in order to truly return to health, all the levels of our being must be addressed.

Reiki works on four different levels:

The physical level: Reiki strengthens the immune system. It helps in pain relief. It balances and harmonizes the function of glands and organs. It heals by opening the blocked energy channels, the meridians, and balances the chakras. With regular practice, good health and well-being is maintained.

The emotional level: Reiki reduces stress and improves relaxation, this in turn strengthens the immune system and maintains health. Reiki clears energy blockages and suppressed emotions.

The mental level: Reiki enables the person to become more positive and reach a different outlook on life. You feel more empowered and find it easier to overcome obstacles and achieve goals.

The spiritual level: Reiki enables you to feel more connected to your higher self. It aids meditation, increases intuition and provides limitless benefits of spiritual growth.

Reiki is so simple yet so powerful, and this is what makes it a unique healing system that anyone can learn, because it does not require any previous experience or special ability. The Benefits of Reiki are infinite. It enables you to take an active part in your own wellness, and increases your growth on all levels.

Exercise Your Dog for Longevity, Mind, Body and Spirit

Exercise is important for everyone including your pet. Too much confinement can result in stress, emotional and behavioral problems, and a generally unhappy dog.

Unhappy dogs result from negative environments, experiences, and inconsistent interaction with their owners, along with a lack of exercise, an unstable routine, inappropriate social interactions, and underemployment where the instinctual desires to perform an activity are not met.

Emotional stress and loneliness alter neurochemical and vascular functions and can increase susceptibility to major diseases.

A lack of exercise leads to obesity, poor muscle tone, heart, bone, and emotional problems.

The opposite scenario occurs with exercise. Exercise leads to longer life, increased strength and endurance. Your dog will rest more calmly and be less nervous when left alone. Exercise can improve dog bone and joint health, heart, and lung function.

Your dog?s metabolism is geared for field work, pulling sleds, or other vigorous tasks.? Pent-up energy demands an outlet and it is up to the responsible dog caregiver to channel this energy constructively through exercise.

The most effective exercise engages both mind and body.

It?s important to understand what your dog?s instinctual traits are and incorporate them into activities and exercise. For a working breed, performing a task would be naturally satisfying, possibly pulling a wagon or carrying a pack with your water bottle. For a retriever breed, engage your dog in ball throwing and retrieving.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that dogs need a big yard to get plenty of exercise.

The truth is that most dogs do not exercise when they are alone outside or indoors; they spend most of their time lying in a comfortable spot waiting for “their guardians” to play with them.

Exercising with your dog creates a human-dog bond in which the dog will sense you care as a good pack leader, which will make your dog?happy.

A brief daily walk sometimes is not enough.

The exercise you choose for your dog should depend on the age, weight, health and breed characteristics. A Border Collie or Parson Russell Terrier needs more play and exercise than an English Bulldog or Pug.

For small dogs, vigorous play activity for exercise can be accomplished indoors; for larger breeds, outdoor activity needs to be given unless the weather is especially dangerous or conditions are too extreme.?

Daily exercise is recommended and is a great stress reliever.

Dogs on average should be exercised aerobically for at least 20-30 minutes each day, of course taking into consideration health and age limitations, unless there is a medical problem or a pregnancy.

Keep in mind that obese dogs and those with heart and lung diseases may have a problem, and be sure to consult with your vet before starting any exercise regime.

Healthy dogs need interaction with other dogs and people for proper socialization. Dog parks are great for this and some of them allow the dogs to play and walk unleashed. If you participate in off-leash activities, be sure you are in control and can reliably recall your dog.

Your exercise should include activities the dog finds stimulating and enjoys — games of catch, long walks, jogging, swimming and biking. A Ruff Dawg K9 flying disc is similar to a Frisbee, only more rugged, flexible and non-toxic for on-land or in water. Try a simple game with a rope tug toy, a Hyper Disc which is floatable, durable and soft on your dog?s mouth, or a Hyper Ball Launcher that allows you to launch a ball up to 220 feet. These and other quality dog exercise toys are available at CalloftheDogShop.com

Caution should be used when exercising in the hot weather.

All dogs, especially those with heart and lung ailments and dogs with thick hair coats will likely have trouble with hot and humid conditions.

Use precaution when temperatures are approaching and greater than 100 degrees and for at-risk pets when approaching and at 90 degrees. Exercise your dog in the early morning or evening and when the temperature is less than 80 degrees and humidity heat index is less then 30 percent. When the heat index greater then 72 use precaution for at-risk breeds. Any relative-humidity reading above 17 % will make the heat index higher if the actual temperature is above approximately 68 degrees, and full sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 degrees. Always avoid hot and humid conditions.

Dogs do not get rid of heat the way we do.

Sweat cools our skin; however, dogs do not sweat. They have a few sweat glands in their feet, but mostly they dissipate heat through their paws and mouths.

Dogs do not dissipate heat as fast as we can, which makes heat stroke a real possible danger. While they are having fun, many dogs will run themselves even to the point of collapse, which can prove to be fatal. Limit sun exposure during the mid-day hours and provide plenty of water in a shady area

People assume that if your dog is in water, your pet won’t overheat. This just isn’t true when the water temperature gets much above 75 degrees and if the dog is working hard in the water.

Keep in mind that searing hot asphalt is not good for your dog?s paws.

Consult your veterinarian before you decide on a fitness program for your pet.

CalloftheDogShop.com specializes in DOG EXERCISE TOYS, and supplies for all pet needs.

We have existed as a company since 1985, but it was a love of dogs that inspired the creation of CalloftheDog.com and CalloftheDogShop.com. Be sure to see our About Us page.

Foot Spa Enhances The Overall Well-Being And Renews The Mind, Body And Spirit

About Foot Spas

Based on ancient beliefs, the feet are renowned for being the body?s second heart and are connected to the body?s major internal organs, the nerve lines of which end at the soles of the feet. The detoxification process can target body organs like the liver and the kidneys via the feet.

A foot spa comprises of a large tub of water mixed with sea salts wherein the feet are immersed. The water in the tub will start to change color based on the internal organs being targeted. Children as young as four years of age can use this safe and natural detoxification process. A foot spa is both painless and safe, but sessions with a foot spa require the user to be properly hydrated. A foot spa is a body cleansing tool and if it does bring curative results, it should be seen as a bonus for having restored one?s good health.

Good health is the real wealth that every individual aspires to possess. An unhealthy lifestyle makes an individual more prone to diseases, which can sometimes be serious. As very few people take care about the inner cleansing of their bodies, foot spas help in weight loss and detoxification.

Detox Foot spa

As seen with increasing frequency, toxins assault the body, rise at an alarming rate and cannot be excreted effectively by the daily workings of the body. Because of their gradual build-up, the toxins cause electrolyte imbalances within the cells, prevent the absorption of nutrients and does not have capability to rid the body of waste effectively. In addition to this, the problem is further aggravated because most people do not consume the right quantity of water required by the body. This causes dehydration. Dehydration and toxicity together are responsible for almost all the congestive and degenerative diseases rampant today.

During a detox foot spa, an electrically generated ionic water process is used to stimulate the body which in turns helps in the detox process. Toxins accumulate in our bodies as a result of being exposed to the air around us as well as because of the resultant effects of things like stress, pollution, smoking, alcohol and diet. A detox foot spa treatment generally lasts for about 30 minutes.

The detox foot-spa treatment entails the feet being placed in a salt-water solution, as this is a good medium in which to produce an electric charge. The feet are the best body part for detoxification as they contain over 2,000 pores. Being the end point of the lymph system the entire blood supply is routed through the feet. The electrodes produce a charge that resonates around the feet, balancing the cells and at the same time assisting in the release of toxins. This results in a feeling of well-being. In some cases it may even relieve insomnia, increase energy levels and make you nimble.

The detox foot spa treatment works positively to re-balance the body’s energetic field and improve the supply of oxygen and other nutrients to the tissues. This treatment is contraindicated in people with pacemakers, epilepsy and if they are pregnant. However, others are encouraged to go all out and take advantage of the detox foot spa.

Viatek Ionic Energiser Foot Spa

This Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa treatment boosts the natural immunity of the body. Although our body does have its own natural detoxification process, the excessive amount of accumulated toxins makes it difficult for the body to remove them. Because of the irregular and stressful lifestyle of the people, the need for detoxification arises and Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa provides is one such option.

The treatment starts when you put your feet in the foot spa machine, which is filled with water and creates an electronic flow. The body, as a result, experiences a gentle bio-energetic resonance as the feet are gradually massaged. The toxins are removed through the 2000 pores in the soles of the feet after a 30 minute treatment. As the colour of the water changes to brown, the treatment relieves the symptoms of allergies, leg pain, insomnia, dry itchy feet, digestive problems, yeast infections, joint pain, bad complexion and helps enhance the energy levels of the body cells.

Although, there are more luxuries in the present times, the modern world is much more toxic world and has come at a cost of polluting the environment. In addition, it is easy to be exposed to toxic substances through smoking, alcohol, food additives, and pesticides. With these toxins being absorbed by the body, its efficiency to perform tasks is affected.

The natural detoxification process removes about 95% of toxins daily. However, the incomplete detoxification gravely leads to bad skin, cold, flu, tiredness, headache, and body odour. As such, the Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa helps maintain balance, re-energize the body cells and cleanse the body internally.
