True Happiness only Comes from God

Happiness only comes with God in us. God through the Holy Spirit will "make a tent" [Bible term: tabernacle] within anyone who lives morally right. One starts to become righteous as he/she fears the Lord's judgment. The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." A righteous person shuns evil.

Jesus did not only come to die for our sins but also to live the life anyone should live that he/she be called a child of God. Indeed, he is the model that we should follow.

In contrast, God cannot be with someone who does wrong. Wrongdoings will always lead to trouble. And this is doubly alarming for without God's power no one can do right. For the devil's power is too powerful to be defeated by man's effort.

Defeating the devil requires that you join with Christ. How? Believe and do what he teaches. That's the essence of being called to follow God. This is made easy by God's power as he sends the Holy Spirit to live within anyone who believes his Son.

God's Help for Trouble

WE might have heard someone blame another for causing his/her troubles. This is wrong. Have you heard of the story of the first fall? Eve was the first to fall into sin, who being deceived by the devil chose to disobey God. So Eve blamed the devil. On the other, Adam blamed Eve and particularly God for giving Eve as his companion.

This blame game has been replayed so many, many times. It is counterproductive to say the least. It never solves any problem.

I'll give you one that can solve every problem of any man or woman. It's the prescription of the Bible. It's God's own medicine for anyone looking for a peaceful, worry-less and trouble-free life. All Christians know or at least are aware of it but they can't seem to apply or use it. Anyway, I know it's very effective for it solved and still solving mine.

I was as evil as any man on earth. It's only on degrees that we vary. Then God brought me down to my knees by taking away almost everything that I have. I almost lose my family. Out of the blue God gave me a promise through a dream that he will bring and gather myself and family into one place. That was my first dream ever. It was the end of 2004.

At the end of the year 2012 the family was reunited in one city - in one family home.

How does my story relate to anyone? In not so many words, God converts anyone who owns up to their fallen nature; that one cannot be fully righteous without being joined with Christ. Christ has said and still saying, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing [righteously]."

Troubles come with the wrong things we do which in turn result from wrong choices. Anyone not counseled by the instructions of God but taking cue only from himself will fall into making mistakes.

                The Word of God contains...warning signs. The book of Hebrews especially provides 

                cautions about perils to the soul. “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil

                heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while 

                it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin”

                (Hebrews 3:12-13).

In contrast, taking a stand always for the right things as defined by an outside source, i.e. the very righteous God, will bring you that trouble-free, happy and peaceful life that no man or woman can ever take away. You must know that the devil tempts through his followers - the evildoers. Anyone without God when tempted can do evil most easily.

Anyone's troubles or fears will not go away until he admits he is committing wrong things and must turn back to God, the only person who can change him/her.

Men may be able to help someone in distress in the normal or usual way people do but God gives the greater help. And it's permanent or eternal, too. For God provides through the Holy Spirit the will and the power to remain righteous to those he wants to help.
