"Then God Said, 'Let Us Make A Man-Someone Like Ourselves, To Be Masters Of All Life Upon The Earth And In The Skies And In The Seas." (Genesis 1:26 tlb)
We can change our destiny by changing our thoughts, actions and the words we speak.
Every person's life is the embodiment, the reflection, of every thought they have had, every action they have taken and every word they have spoken, in their life, up to the present moment, and their tomorrows will be determined in the same way.
We have been made in the image and likeness of our creator, God, and we have been given control of life upon this earth, not only our life but "all life" and we create our own world the same way that God created His world, we think, we do, we speak it into existence.
Everything that happens in the physical world -must- be formed in the spirit world first, be it good or bad, because the physical world is a reflection of what is in the spirit of an individual or group of individuals.
When God/Good is absent, a void is created and that void must be filled with something and the only thing that remains is evil.
Our thinking, our beliefs make up the foundation upon which we build our life and in order to change or improve our destiny, our tomorrows, a new or improved foundation must be laid.
"As Thou Hast Believed, So Be It Done Unto Thee." (Matthew 8:13 kjv)
"According To Your Faith Be It Unto You." (Matthew 9:29 kjv)
When the trials and tribulations of life come, as they surely will, we can not, we will not prevail without a solid foundation.
"But All Those Who Come And Listen And Obey Me Are Like A Man Who Builds A House On A Strong Foundation Laid Upon The Underlying Rock. When The Floodwaters Rise And Break Against The House, It Stands Firm, For It Is Strongly Built. But Those Who Listen And Don't Obey Are Like A Man Who Builds A House Without A Foundation. When The Floods Sweep Down Against That House, It Crumbles Into A Heap Of Ruins." (Luke 6:48&49 tlb)
We are not punished because of our sins, but by them. We battle against our false ideas and beliefs, we make our own mistakes, and we suffer because of them and will continue to suffer until our thoughts and actions are in line with the positive forces in this world in which we live.
"But, Be Ye Doers Of The Word, And Not Hears Only, Deceiving Your Own Selves." (James 1:22 kjv)
"But If Anyone Keeps Looking Steadily Into God's Law For Free Men, He Will Not Only Remember It But He Will Do What It Says, And God Will Greatly Bless Him In Everything He Does." (James 1:25 tlb)
Unused knowledge never has and never will accomplish anything.
