Can you give me a method to change myself so that I will be able to do this?

When it comes to spirituality, that term doesn't mean all who are "spiritual" know God, or even have anything to do with Him. That would be like saying, all who go to the zoo are monkeys. It doesn't work that way. Likewise, not all who go to church, are born-again believers, as the bible calls those dedicated to God. Some know OF Him, yet that doesn't mean they have a relationship with Him, and that is what salvation is all about, is what Jesus said in His Word. It is also not about what church one attends, nor their service or tithes, that constitutes salvation according to God's standards for salvation. It is not about the religions of this world. It is about committed relationship with God. That is what He said in His Word. And we are certainly not expected to be perfect NOR can we earn our way to heaven by doing "good", as Jesus said we are saved by [i]grace[/i], when we believe in God, what He said, and trust Him to keep His Word. What is the definition of [i]grace[/i]? It is UN-EARNED [u]favor[/u] from God. He is trust-WORTHY. Christ died for the [u]world[/u]. Not just certain denominations. And NEVER for "certain churches", as some false teachers would have others believe, leading them astray by their cultist, unbiblical teachings.

Christ was simply telling us that if we want peace of mind and joy, then focus on those things of God, rather than the crazy people and troubles of this world. What brings true peace and joy, does not take hard work, but better choices. It is the Holy Spirit that brings our Spirit peace and great joy that passes all understanding...when we pray and fellowship with God, read and study His Word, ask for His strength and guidance each day, do service for Him, spend time with Him as our best friend, and love and help others.

God's recipe for true happiness, joy, and peace of mind? Simple. Focus on those things of the Lord.

See what God said? Who's mind stays in PERFECT PEACE? Those whose mind is [u]stayed on Him[/u]. He's not talking 24/7. He's just saying the more you abide in Me, the happier and more peaceful your mind and heart will be.

Honestly the fact you even ask this is grounds enough for caring as you are interested in knowing and do not appear to be presuming yourself to be so high and mighty. Think of all the people you have loved who have loved you back and simply let yourself feel that love. If there is some higher power you worship or are grateful to, or you are simply grateful that you had them in your life...what more can any high and mighty omnipotent being ask for?

They can't expect you to not live and just hold yourself hostage to their arbitrary whims. You need to live, to enjoy life. Relax. Take some advice from the Eagles, and take it easy. 🌹😊

The standards of a Perfect God are very High, aren't they ???

But what was the point of God revealing His standards to mankind ???

Was it out of a demand for mankind to perform up to these Standards???

Standards that imperfect beings like us can never attain???

Or was it to let us know we can never perform up to the perfect standards of God?? The Standards given to convince our minds that we fall short of the Standards??

What does the Standards do then.. Make us feel hopeless? Make us feel we are doomed to fail? Well YES...

If we know we cannot attain the standards we are then open to The Way God has made for us to have eternal reconciliation with God.. Through being justly forgiven all our failings...

If one believes in the Standards of God, If one loves the standards of God, If they agree with the will of God.. Then that is called being righteous in Spirit.. Having the right attitude the right Spirit buts us in the right place to justify God forgiving us for being unable to perform to His standards.. Believing God and trusting God can be achieved by faulty human beings.. Believing in His standards and trusting in the Atonement of the LORD Jesus who paid the penalty for all our failings..

Gods Law reveals our Problem..
Gods Atonement reveals God solution to our problem..

I think if we set our hearts on pursuing this goal, albeit imperfectly, and sometimes horribly, the rest of the commandments fall into place.

Augustine famously said, "Love, then do as you will."

I have always found that Biblical commandment to be reinvigorating, offering me a fresh start.

The Dalai Lama calls his mind a chattering monkey.

He has practised all his life to stop it chattering, he hasn't given up:)

Kahil Gibran had the idea of us as Onions trying to remove one leaf at a time until we get to our real essence - hopefully not the essence of a real onion:)

For me, if we are temples of the Holy Spirit, it would seem that unveiling the onion leaves of ourselves to get closer to our true selves would seem to be a way to get to know and Love God.

Just do the best you can, God knows we're only human and born to make mistakes.💫The bible was written in a time we don't live in anymore, that's why it's so hard to understand. It needs to be "updated." 🤭😇💓

Pray more and over anything (good or bad, important or insignificant), and see where it goes.

Try a full frontal lobotomy.

@Zeusdelight Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I am certainly not going to write Fulford off. He has, indeed, said that he is fighting to save our planet, and I find no fault in that.

The fact that the is naming lots and lots of names of people in high places would be expected to draw lots and lots of criticism. Of course. But I think it would be interesting to see the folks he has named as murderers and satanists sue him, forcing him to present his evidence in court.

@Zeusdelight And yet, as I understand it, courts are busy with suits. \

You could be right, though the first three sources I found (I stopped there) say that usually the loser pays the costs of the winner in civil matters -- whatever court decides about both court costs and attorney fees, in case it has not been decided in advance between the two parties, as you said. So a wronged party without deep pockets would want to be pretty sure there was no evidence of the type Fulford claims to have. You could be right. He might not have any --

It is the human condition. Like King David said "what I want to do I don't do, and what I don't want to do I keep doing." We are battling our sinful bodies even if we have been saved spiritually. We will have saved bodies in heaven one day. Just read your Bible every morning and be thankful throughout the day.🙂
