Cheemalogy.....

Hi everyone! Ready for some cheemalogy? :P I'm going to relate this closely to what Joy shared about her overcoming the fear of roller-coasters. :) Thanks Joy. You are in the FLOW! :P

Was just reading the site that Jilian linked us to. :) think it is written by her mum, and I felt that it is good. The audience that she is writing to, I'm not sure if it is meant for Believers or for the world. It does seem that in her wordings that she is writing it for ppl of the world, and not entirely for Believers.

Cheemalogy: We are a Spirit, possessing a Soul (mind + emotions), and living in a Body. Man is 3 parts. The Spirit-part was dead when Adam sinned, but the moment you received Christ, our Spirit-man is ALIVE again. And this is the part of us that is CONSTANTLY connected to Jesus. And it is the part of us that ALLOWS us to be BLESSED WHEREVER we go, in WHATEVER we do, and with WHOEVER we meet. :) It is something like a STATUS, a club MEMBERSHIP, that you have the RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES to.

But then, there is the Soul part of us, which are our thoughts, emotions and willpower, that through just daily normal living or learning from the wrong ppl and things in school or through TV or cyberspace gets negatively-influenced (from what you see and what you hear) everyday. And in this negative-influence, it does hamper our ability to receive from Jesus. It's like you are REALLY an EAGLE (Status), but if you think like a chicken and behave like a chicken (mind+emotions+actions), guess what. You really live life like a chicken lor. It'll just be awkward for you lah. And you'll be frustrated. You see other Eagles (like you) receiving and enjoying the fullness of life, and you wonder about your own and why you couldn't. That is sad...

The article that I read from Jilian's link is good, that it addresses your mind (your Soul). But the Truth remains this: you can be of the World and think only good and positive stuff, but your status remains that you are cursed and un-saved, and doomed for failure or maybe only a small measure of blessings; the other one is more for us: we can be SAVED (status), but if we only think negative and horrible stuff about ourselves and our lives, we can still get a small measure of blessings, but not the fullness that God wants you to have. That is the difference that we have with the World: they can think good and still fail because of their status; but for us, if we can really think GOOD, we will truly make it big in life because of our status, that we are already the Righteousness of God thats why Jesus will ensure that our lives become great! :)

In Joy's example, many of us think that the roller-coaster is scary, and that we can 'die' or be frightened. But Jesus already took away our curse and death, and if He had done it, will we need to be afraid of death? In truth, we don't need because our Spirit man is already saved in Christ. But because WE still THINK it is scary and that we cannot take it, guess what? we don't dare to take the ride, and thus we are robbed of the chance to enjoy something fun. But if you all are like Joy, who knows that she is a Child of God and she cannot die and then hop on the roller-coaster, you end up enjoying even more! That is true in almost anything: we limit God in our lives.

Therefore, learn to differentiate between what is 'good' in the eyes of the world, and what is 'good' in the Eyes of God. Good to the world means changing behaviour through your thoughts, which will still result in failure; good in God's Eyes means seeing Jesus, His Beauty and the Perfection of His Redemption in our lives so that our lives TRANSFORM effortlessly and supernaturally. Remember this, my dear ladies and gentlemen. I'm teaching you how to tell the difference between worldly advice and Godly advice. Do have a good read! :)

Ask me if you have questions on this! :) It'll blessed you if you read and understand!

Have a blessed night! :)
