A Glimpse Into my Soul & Spirit

Comforting Bible Verses When Dealing With the Sadness of the World

by

happy-and-sad

At times, my soul gets burdened down with the evil and deception in the world. As I grow in knowledge and wisdom (Ecclesiastes 1:18), I find myself oscillating between the sadness of the world and the joy and happiness that lives within me. Though I feel this way now for spiritual reasons, I’ve always been empathetic. When I was child, I heard about things and would feel awful. This reality has even been a factor in some suicides. For a brief time, I tried to ignore the stuff I saw or heard and would not look at certain news because it was too depressing.

But that wasn’t the right response and kind of selfish. God told me to pray about what I saw & for anyone who might have been affected. This also gives me an opportunity to reach out and touch someone with my faith, mourn with those who mourn, take a stand for injustice, or help a person in his or her time of need. Then, I give this weight to God. This is something I must do so the feelings do not consume me or affect my health. (But there is this part of me that hurts for God because he has to carry all of our burdens, and I have to give that to Him, too.)

I know that this world is temporary, and Christ has defeated the enemy. But communing with God in various ways brings healing to my soul. No Christian should ever feel comfortable on this earth. We always long for home. The world is lost to sin, yet I’m thankful Love is always victorious. The following are a few Bible verses for sadness that you can memorize.  Allow them to marinate in your heart when you are being pulled into the dark shadows of this temporal world.

Crystal Wisdom: Practices I Do Not Take Part in

christian crystal healing

I’ve received e-letters about how to draw the line between right and wrong concerning crystal usage. The truth is, we shouldn’t do something until God makes things clear to us. There are countless ways to incorporate crystals into your life; it’s really a personal experience and your particular preference.

And sometimes I think, well, how do you use concentrated herbs, food, healing clays, and other creations in the right way? They’re all vibrational medicine when you get down to the nitty-gritty. I see everything as being connected. I also use crystals in very practical ways. As just mentioned, I do not experiment or use a method if I don’t have clarity. I know these creations are widely used in ways they should not be, which can be confusing. But not too long ago, Christians thought herbalism and science was wrong for some of the same reasons.

Our Creator can reveal how to use His creation; all we have to do is ask him (Matthew 7:7). He might reveal something while you are praying, studying your Bible, or one day when you are reflecting on creation and observing his wonders. This is how I learn(ed) much of what I know. G-d is the one that told me his creation is healing. He can also reveal imbalances and issues within your soul and physical body if you ask Him. Of course, some people are given a spiritual gift (or natural ability) of healing and knowledge comprehension (1 Kings 4:29-34)(Daniel 1:17)(1 Corinthians 12:8,9). God does talk through and use people.

When exploring worldly information, you need spiritual discernment. A gift of special knowledge would be helpful as well. All true knowledge is God’s (Ecclesiastes 12:9-10)(Psalms 24:1-2). I allow the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures to guide me here. Modern science and ancient knowledge can contain nuggets of truth wrapped in thorny branches. I pray, compare it to the Scriptures, and filter the information with my spirit. I see what is helpful and what does not serve me–though learning is a process. You will always be a student (disciple). If we get impatient and just do whatever, we might end up using creation in a way that does not honor God, succumbing to the flesh. The following are a few crystal practices I do not take part in. Some of these practices I have mentioned in other posts, but now they are in a neat little list.

Restore Balance With Quartz Crystal Points

Sometimes, you might feel sluggish, depleted, and drained. I feel like this when I’m constantly working and running here and there. I have a chill and laid back kind of temperament. Naturally, I have a cooler constitution. Busy-bodies are generally warmer. After I became a true Christian, my life became more seasonal. God doesn’t let me get too comfortable. I am gently pulled out of my comfort zone in various ways.

When my soul feels drained, God sustains me with His Strength and Energy (Holy Spirit); he has also done this when I am physically depleted as well. Those moments are blissful & surreal. Of course, there are times when I just need to allow my body to rest so that it can rebalance or reset.

An energy imbalance can also occur because of our diet and the modern world in which we live. Many things upset the delicate balance, and you are left marinating in a toxic soup. Leaving crystals around your home (and wearing them, etc) can help, along with healthy, consistent doses of unpolluted nature. The truth is, it is hard to escape these modern-day issues (especially in a big city). The soil, air, water, etc, is not like it was many years ago. All we can do at this point is do the best we can. Though I see some countries trying to be good stewards of God’s earth, which is a Christian’s job. Thankfully, this world is temporary. We’re awaiting a new earth that can never be corrupted by men (Revelation 21:1-3).

We are energy beings (you could say multiple layers of vibrating energy). What you eat even turns to fuel for your body. Everything is relatively energy when you simplify things. God is a Spirit. And he made us (and all of creation) in His Divine Wisdom; this force is pointing back to Him (Romans 1:20)(Acts 17:25)(Colossians 1:16)(Job 12:7-9).

One way to rebalance, or rearrange, the force within you is to use a crystal point as a conduit between your energy and the energy around you. Of course, it is better to do this in a healthful environment. Think of the beach, a stream, waterfall, the forest, or maybe your backyard. You want a natural environment to access the earth’s magnetic field to its fullest potential. Be sure to clear the crystal (use your favorite method) to restore its balance (if needed). …More, Please!
