If you knew you were going to stand before God, today (not in judgment, but meeting your very best friend) ... is there a gift you would like to present Him with? Do you plan to meet Him empty handed? Maybe you have a gift for God already. Perhaps, you never thought about it and would like to.

Have you ever found yourself in a position where, if you just keep your mouth shut, you will receive the credit? Perhaps you observe the keys in another's car. Maybe you're in a different town where no one would notice you visiting the local bar. Or, you're on vacation, at the beach, where church members will never see how you dress.

When Two Become One - The Gift of Sacred Marriage
Written by: Mashubi Rochell | Distributed: 2007-12-31 | Word Count: 780 | Page Views: 653 | Votes: 3 | Rating: 0.67
In previous eras, the nature of sacred marriage was connected with duty, or related to practical necessities. Nowadays, as human relationships transform and become more conscious, the nature of sacred marriage enters a whole new domain of possibility, that is related to two souls who become One in God, without releasing their individuality or unique identities.

This is a time of monumental transition for our world, and each of our lives is being affected by the larger planetary transformations that are happening.

God's love as a healing presence in the world is growing stronger daily.

Your Divine Soul Purpose -- Manifesting Your True Life's Mission
Written by: Mashubi Rochell | Distributed: 2007-12-12 | Word Count: 814 | Page Views: 1049 | Votes: 10 | Rating: 2.20
When we begin to awaken spiritually, we ask 'why am I here?', and 'for what purpose did God create me?' For some, an inner understanding of divine soul purpose emerges relatively early in the spiritual journey. For others, knowledge of soul purpose eludes our human embodied self for quite a long time, necessitating a period of 'walking in the desert' with little apparent support. God created you so carefully, and uniquely for the sacred purpose you embody.

Am I suffering demonically from habitual sins my great- grandfather was involved in (not just once-in-a-while-sins, but over and over again)? Will my grandkids and great-grandkids suffer demonic punishment and slavery because of some habitual sin I do? Where does this idea really come from?

When growing up, if there was a sibling dispute, mom had the perfect solution. She would refuse to choose. Instead, mom would bang our heads together.
