I saved something I started writing a couple of days ago but I can't find what happened to it. Anyway what I was saying the other day is that I feel much more refreshed now and am ready to get back to work here.
Everytime someone says or does something to us we have choices to make as to how we will respond back.
I have discovered that responding back in a negative or vengeful way is counter pro-ductive. Thats not to say that I still don't do it at times, but I don't want to or like to anymore. It serves no purpose at all. People that do that kind of stuff are ugly inside. They are angry, bitter and in general unhappy. This was me for a long time. I had a very sarcastic mouthy attitude at just about everything and everyone.
There are no gaurentees in this life that everything will go our way or that it is even supposed to go our way.
People do not like to give much stock in the story of Adam and Eve (Adam by the way is the Hebrew word for man and Eve means mother of all living.) However the truth of the matter is that when Eve disobeyed G-d and ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is when all of our problems with things going our way and bad things happening, began.
If you aren't saved then you have no hope in G-d and if you have no hope in G-d then I can understand why choosing good reponses to things said or done, or bad responses wouldn't matter.
The truth is that we are spiritual beings and that there is a war going on in the spirit world for our spirits. Satan (which is the Hebrew word for adversary) is very much alive and well. He hates us and wants to take as many of us as possible down to hell with him. Even though we can't see into the spirit world does not mean that it doesn't exsist. The reason Satan hates us so much is because we are G-d's creation and Satan hates G-d and anything and everything to do with Him.
I read a book and saw a video by a surgeon whose name is Dr. Maurice Rawlings. He wrote the book because he said he noticed that there was much talk and written about peoples near death encounters that were only positive and that he being a surgeon saw many negative encounters as well but that nothing was ever mentioned about them. He had people dying on the operating table for a few minutes and being brought back to life and begging to not be sent back down to that awful place again. Check it out for yourself, do a google search on Dr. Maurice Rawlings. The name of the book and video is called "To Hell and Back".
Hell is as real as Heaven is. Whenever I hear of a volcano erupting I usually say or think or both, "hell is belching". Thats what the lava is, a little taste of whats in hell. The Bible says that hell is in the middle of the earth and just as I have read many encounters of people going to heaven, I have read many encounters of people going to hell as well. And no, you will not be partying with your friends down there. It is a place of isolation and desperation and pain and sorrow and horror. It is a place of burning from head to toe and feeling every bit of it. It is a place of worms crawling all over you and you feeling them in and out of you. Whatever your vice was in this life is what you will be punished with over and over and over for ever and ever and ever. Some people can't wrap their minds around such an awful place and that thats where you will be if you dont get saved. But G-d's word is true and faithful and Jesus talked about hell more then anyone else ever did.
I will explain these things in more detail as I go along here. They are things that need to be said. G-d is very serious about what He says and is not to be trifled with.
