Awaken and Be Healed

There will be no Second Coming
before the First Coming...and Christ
has yet to manifest fully in the hearts and
minds of all men – God gave us power
to make on this planet a heaven
or hell...waiting on yourself,
to free yourself, is inactivity that
will only bring more misery and
prolonged suffering – the Devil, 
the rebellion, is that of your own
independent, Free Will Soul gone
astray – evil has no power outside 
of us...awaken and be healed! Christ
did not come to earth to teach how
to behave more sheepishly...he came here
to show mankind how to guide, protect – 
and how to keep our wolves of consciousness
at bay....

It is up to us to choose hell or heaven ! God has given us a freewill and it is our duty to keep the evil at bay and be in virtue's fold ! Divine thoughts Joe !

Thank you, Valsa; very wise and insightful words. The key to your statement is Us (we)...while we are individuals, we are also a humanity. No one stays in paradise till we all get there. Seems like a lot of work ahead. Blessings my friend!

Great wording! Christ did not come to teach us how to behave more sheepishly…but how to keep our wolves at bay. One favorite verse speaks of being as wise as a serpent but harmless as a dove. And yes we choose either life or death (heaven or hell) on this earth…we choose!

Thank you, Kim; very wise comments. Jesus was telling his disciples that, if they were to accomplish their mission of spreading The Word, they could not be militant – that would immediately shut them down – some don't seem to have a choice, born into hellish conditions -- it is complicated. Joe.
