AT THE BOTTOM LOOKING UP

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth, not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  1Corinthians 3:13, 14.

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

Over the years, I’ve read a number of success articles which are encouraging, inspiring and informative embellishments from those who have achieved their worldly dream and as a result are rewarded monetarily and what they believe emotionally.

Giving advice when you’re successful in life’s endeavors is one of the skills I associate with discernment and encourage it to become a common practice within your life’s journey of giving back or sharing your motivations and inspirations, in the hope many or some will hear your message. Gain courage to move forward in their life’s journey within their careers outside of the group referenced too in an earlier article “Being Unique” published June 4, 2019.

I see it as a skill each individual can use to identify and overcome their fears of the unknown or untried. I see it as a way of encouragement to those hesitating stepping out of the group. I identify it as a source of replenishment; it takes the sting out of the risk of your decision to function as a Unique individual outside of the group. It aids in overcoming your fear of leaving a perceived secure position for the truly unknown and perceived position of standing alone in the unfamiliar beginning of your adjusted life’s journey.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father humbly we approach your throne with this petition Father, fill us with your knowledge, wisdom, patience, and Love. That we may in spirit have the courage to spread your truth and witness about Yeshua’s precious sacrifice as your Son’s Disciples.  Bring us to a place where we may serve as your Disciples and shining Beacons of light, “Fisher’s of Men” capture the hearts and minds of those we gather that we may teach them to come before you. Cover us with your protective wings, strength, discernment, and bring your words unto us that we may minister through your Love for all mankind. Fill us with the spirit of “Goodwill unto all men.” In the name of Yeshua, we pray Amen and, Amen

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

I have stated my years have taught me lessons which I am more than willing to share in any way that will assist anyone who has a dream, no matter what that dream may be. The one piece of advice I can share here is don’t hesitate, trust your intuition and underlying gut feelings, move forward don’t let fear deter you; easier said then done if you don’t have the proper information. However, if you have been honest in your self-analysis, you should have discovered another skill of discernment, called “FAITH,” which will prove itself as one of the most powerful tools you will continuously use in your adjusted life’s journey outside of the group. Simply put, having “FAITH” in the understanding and information you recognize as the basis to your final decision as truth.

Perhaps I was different than most young people growing up, I envisioned my worldly father as being fearless, untouched by those things many around him did fear. I saw him having a simple solution to his fears, always facing them and moving forward. My father taught me that everyone experiences fear of some kind, even the most successful, he showed, “they have learned how to use discernment as a skill.” He stated not to let fear put me into a box, or let it entrap me, he identified it as a lack of understanding my real inner strengths. He related, defeating fear you need to gather information about what it is your doing to yourself. And use it to learn, what it is your allowing to block your faith in the discernment of your inner strengths and their use. He stated this is when you need to be completely honest with yourself, you can’t use compromise or justifications. If you’re completely honest, you will overcome fear and allow yourself to make the proper decisions in moving forward confidently and resolutely [having fortitude, inner strength, resolve, determination, and finally tenacity]. So you understand, my earthly father served in WWII as a Regimental Sargent Major. He enlisted as a very young individual and moved up through the ranks. Not to be prejudicial, he was a very Unique individual I knew as a man first, and a loving Father second, who I saw as the first Unique individual outside of the group. He stood on his strengths gained through life’s hard lessons. My worldly father was not a highly educated man, he was a life-educated man.

I consider myself very fortunate having his tutoring and insights into our life’s journey, which, as a man was willing to share those insights as a loving father. After figuring how to use a computer I am now sharing what I consider are insights of my life’s journey which fostered my successes on a small scale in comparison to what others have accomplished, but none the less are successes outside of the group. 

For those who are thinking this is just an article, I say to you, “I see it as a haven for those who are too busy.” “A haven allowing individuals desiring to be unique and separate from the group to accomplish their spiritual goals & achieve their spiritual dreams” but more than anything find themselves in an opportunity to capture time and to care for the most important thing “THEIR SPIRITUALITY” and Eternal life.

Without Spiritual well-being, none of what you might accomplish in the world, at any age, is of any value. The second thing next to your spirituality, is your wife and children, or your real friends, as their involvement in your life comes with a dear price tag which has been paid in full. Without spirituality, it all means absolutely nothing, if you don’t have the ability to share in a relationship, especially with your family.

I realized early in life, every five minutes I invested in my relationships was worth a 1000 fold return in my future with them. Just think a 1000 fold of returns in the future what a bonus.

I was at the bottom of the corporate ladder working in a box and looking up at all of those who have succeeded and unwittingly and unknowingly desired what they had achieved. Not realizing the price which had to be paid, to be where they are today. I didn’t see the spiritual sacrifices made or called upon each individual, to achieve what they had. I could only see they had achieved and blindly I desired the same. Like many, I dreamed about it and desired it. I had the enemies henchmen telling me I needed to know my position in this world and to accept it and move forward in it doing the best I could and being satisfied. 

Those words were like a jail sentence being pronounced over me, stating I was forever going to be in a box and should just be satisfied with that. Well, as you can see, I was not, and in my articles have shown how I climbed out of that box to walk as a unique individual outside of the group towards eternal life and peace.

I could repeat all the things stated in the articles, I won’t, what I am going to say is the following to those looking up at the successful ones. “Don’t,” “Stop,” keep your eyes fixed on your “Eternal Spirituality.” However remember this fact, “Goals are only met by building up to them one step at a time, failures occur when you try to attain your goal all at once.

“The desire to achieve your spiritual goal all at once exposes your weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and inability to manage a spiritual life at a different level and pace, even if you believe you’re ready. Attaining your spiritual Goal must follow a plan (Leading of the Holy Spirit’s teachings and guidance) of achievements over a period of time. Which you use as rungs in Yeshua’s ladder as you climb towards your final destination. Failure becomes a personal (Spiritual) measuring stick showing first our strengths and then weaknesses. It explains what we are really willing to accomplish in order to achieve. It exposes even for a brief moment the amount of control fear has on us when we’re face to face with it.

These are the three tools I used to gain freedom and build towards achieving my Spiritual Goal:

1). Recognize that your main goal will only be reached if you use minor achievements to attain your main goal. You plan to build up to your goal by recognizing what you need to achieve in order to move forward. Each successful achievement, no matter how small or big draws you closer to your goal as well as encouraging you to succeed. It is called working out your Salvation. 

2). Reality (dealing not coping) will teach you about failure and what it holds for you to learn about attaining your achievements by taking complete responsibility for those failings. You would be shown, failure becomes the foundation of information you stand on, in order to learn through those failures, how to achieve. Failure teaches you to gather further information through your mistakes, in order to fully understand how to complete the daily tasks required to achieve the tasks at hand, failure will show you what it takes personally (Spiritually) and whether you’re prepared to commit to that level of spiritual sacrifice to achieve. Again working out your Salvation. 

The Holy Spirit showed reality provides usable knowledge about our spirituality, in order to gather further information required to make the corrections allowing us to move forward, confidently, towards our achievements. Which, in turn, will bring us closer to our ultimate “Spiritual Goal.” The Holy Spirits final thoughts here taught me reality shows the real timeline we require to accomplish and achieve, it sets the pace we’re going to use or should use.

3). Now that we know the pace required, we should set out to gather information about what future responsibilities & commitments will be needed as Discernment, Understanding, and Wisdom. To maintain this level of achievement and use of the power that goes along with it. The first two steps I described, I see as a form of apprenticeship, allowing us the ability to accept the discernment, knowledge, and understanding, being exposed, in order to confidently receive them and apply them as part of our new Spirituality as we walk within business and life.

This part of the article details how I perceive service and how I desire to be treated when I am a client and have incorporated that desire as the foundation of my walk. It offers those who would partake in the service, an opportunity for completion, an opportunity to be more attentive to their spouse or soul mate, and especially too their children on a more personal level. Yes, these ideas offer simple solutions, but solutions with a personal touch and a desire to provide service above & beyond, which is my ultimate “Spiritual Goal.” It is more than a passion for achieving a Goal; it becomes a satisfying lifestyle. Serving to bring others to start achieving their “Spiritual Goal” of Eternal life and peace. 

I’ll finish this article here as again I believe there is a great amount to absorb understand and incorporate in your adjusted life’s journey. 

Remember, these messages are given by a humble servant obedient unto our Lord Yeshua as a Watchman. This I pray for all. ”Our Heavenly Father brings us to the river which bringeth forth fruit so we may partake of its sustenance and be filled spiritually with nurturing wisdom, and humble dedication in service to Yeshua. “Blessings to All.”  As you go forward in peace, knowledge, and strength
