Religion vs Spirituality

What is the difference between Religion and Spirituality?
 

In short: Religion is the stories and encounters that other people had with God. Spirituality is YOUR story and encounter with God.
 

Let us look at the Christian faith. Christians reads the Bible. In the Bible there are countless stories of people that tell us what happened between them and God.
 

From Adam to Jesus.

Adam talked to God in the Garden of Eden.

Noah - God told him how to build the Arc.

Others such as Moses, Daniel, Samuel, Cain, Saul, Eve and Sarah.

God speaks to others through Angels: Abraham, Lot, Elisha and Elijah.

Do you see that the Bible is full of stories of how other people interact with God?
 

Now what is your storie?

How do you interact with God?

Does God talk to you?

What is God telling you?

This is spirituality!!

Be you. Live your life. Tell your story.
 

When you outgrow religion and find yourself in spirituality, you won’t need a Bible or a Bhagavad Gita, or any other scriptures to tell you what right or wrong is in the eyes of God. You will know.

I hope that this will make you think of where you are in your religious/ spiritual life.
 

To a better you.

Experience God's Presence

Experience God's Presence by Repentance with Joy!

Receive and "abide" in the presence of God by understanding with your mind, AND by teaching your heart to think differently about earthly things and about your being able to freely receive the presence of God by believing He is drawing near, because of His grace! 

 You Can Grow Even in Difficult Areas because You Can Taste Heaven Now!

 Repentance should be as important a practice to your Christian life as prayer or reading the Bible. It can help you just as much. Repentance is more than just what you do after you do something wrong. Repentance is a biblical practice—an activity that describes something you can do for great personal growth and change. 

You Can experience a deeper Christian life! 

It will take effort on your part to direct your heart toward God, but you can do it!

I will show you how.

How to contact you Angels

Has the thought ever crossed your mind to contact and talk to Angels. Maybe your Guardian Angel? Have you ever wondered about them?

Here is the ‘How to..’ to connect to Angels and to talk to them and have them talk back.

Angels are all around you, all the time. Your angels will not let something happen to you that you are afraid off. If you are afraid of them, they will not allow you to contact them.

First of all you have to ask for help. Also ask for proof. Ask for something specific / time frame specific. Ask one question per day. Ask your question and let it go. Ask to see the proof within a week or so, never leave it hanging in the air because you will probably only get it in a years’ time.

Your proof should not be something that you often see. Let it be something unusual.

One woman ask to see a Peacock. When she opened the paper, there it was. The answer that she was looking for and a confirmation that it came from her angel.

The same woman asked to see a white cat – while standing in the queue in a fabric store a little girl behind her had a stuffed white cat in her hands.

Write your question in a Journal/ Diary. Write what proof or sign you decided on.

Where and when is it best to talk with your Angels. In the shower, when you are all by yourself/ take a walk/ somewhere that it is peaceful.

Talk from your heart.

Place hand over your heart.

Take 3 deep breaths.

Say: “I am not afraid. I want to learn’.

Ask your question, like: ‘If I am on the right spiritual path show me a ………’

‘Angels please proof to me in a way that I will absolutely know that it is coming from you’.

‘Thank you’

‘Amen’

Be open to receive it

Take a picture of the proof if you can

 

When you see one of the following signs it means that there are Angels with you that wants to tell you something.

Repeated numbers sequences – when you see the same number over and over again. Actually anything that is repeated.

Feathers – unexpected feathers falling down or lying on the ground.

Butterflies – following you.

Music – Songs that you hear over and over everywhere you go. A line of a song that is repeated over and over in your head.

 

Close your eyes and say: “ Angel what are you trying to tell me”

No religion in heaven

In our everyday life we try to convince people that our religious beliefs are the only way to God.

We try to convince people that they will only go to heaven if they do such and such.

We defend our God, our religion and our ‘Bible’ (or whatever you see as your bible).

We forget that all religions feel that way.

People created religions not Jesus, Buddha or anyone else, they were only the teachers. They taught us their ideas and we decided what who we want to belief. Then we created a religion to protect their ideas and to separate us from the ‘non-believers’. We even went further and created rules to distinguish us from others. These rules were never put down by the teachers.

Let us look at Jesus’s life. He came to earth to tell us about the kingdom of God. That was His main purpose. And only for the ‘lost people of Isreal’. He send out His disciples to go and tell the people ‘the good news’. He never told them to start a religion. Up until His death there was no Christians, there was His ‘followers’. Only after His death we decided to gather everything He said and then we created a religion, with some of our own rules, off course.

The teachers suggested things that we can do to life a full and happy life and we made it law.

In the end all these teachers said the same thing.

To force people to do what we decided is right; we even created a devil and then we try to scare them with hell. If we look at the Bible we will notice that the word ‘devil’ never appeared in the Old Testament. Only when Jesus came the word ‘devil’ appeared.

To keep these people in our ‘churches’ we decided not to teach them to grow beyond the point of needing a ‘church’ to get to God. We know that once a person starts to know God personally, he/she wouldn’t need the ‘church’ anymore. Who needs a ‘pastor’ or his ‘church’ if he/she has got an open line to God? Thus we need to prevent people going to God directly.

We forget that there is no religion in heaven.

This means that all our efforts to protect our religion is useless. In heaven there will be no Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, etc. only God’s people.

Religion is a game we play here on earth. When we die it dies with us and we go to God. All of us.

It will be as it was in the beginning. There will be only God.

What will you be if you didn’t have your ‘Bible’? What God would you serve?

Maybe that is our problem; we have too many ‘rule books’ and not enough ‘how to..’ books.
