The Purpose of John’s Gospel.
John 20:30 – 31:
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Psalm 43:1:
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2: For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3: O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4: Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5: Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Wondering if this a rational argument for God?, while performing my Morning Prayer, flash backs of my awakening over the last few years came back to me, this is not an awe inspiring affair, its rather going back to what is simple and natural and yet seeing what things have in common.
Seeing the simplicity and commonality in things, whereas God appears to me in my morning prayer as not a being, but a way, a path within…
What was noticed on this journey of awakening, was the color sequence of the sun which God created, the color it seems to take as it rises and sets in the morning.
Red, orange, yellow, white or green etc, Green if your in space.
This color sequence matches the sequence of colors the Chakra’s or energy centers take on in Indian or Asian spiritual philosophy, it is also the color sequence on our planet.
While some have realized through the act of their morning prayer, that they must deliberately give up the energy within these energy centers to see a bigger picture.
What is needed is to sacrifice your own wants and needs or your own desires and pleasures for the betterment of life.
This is not any easy thing to do, as the mind etc will continually convince you to stop.
And yet if you continue you are becoming good , becoming more aware of how you treat and view life inside and around you, making you more harmonious with life.
Taking the path of good, God or eternal life.
Now the reason I mentioned that the color sequence of these energy centers are the same as our sun’s ascent in the morning, is that if you are sensitive enough to the energies and subtle life forces around you, the Universe will almost feel like a sun rising inside you at some point to turn you inside out and back to being selfless.
Back to being good, where you realize that the only way to create sustainable life within and without is to take this path they call God within…
This path is like having a snake or fire 🔥 wind its way up you showing you the positive and negative in everything.
To the point where your feelings and mind are all over the place, where no decision can be made only to let go of control and trust that the Universe has your back.
This thing that guides within calls itself God, don’t ask me why.
While a recent dream had of a twin flame meditation… Reveals how to awaken the heart.
Waking up at 4:30.. am every morning, sitting up, spine erect..
Eyes open for half an hour, sit with feet and palm’s together in praying motion 🙏…
Your heart will begin to open up, once you can feel love in your heart your vibrating on that frequency, you’ll see better romantic interactions over time with this meditation…
Your basically giving up that which is below you, to find love with life, not to control it or use it for your own gratification…
There is powerful energy at this time in the morning, you can channel it.

While recounting an examination within the next few pages of the Bible, we are expected to vocalize our desires in a state of gratitude, the Lord God also expects us to be upright in times of darkness…
Unattributed, the book of psalm recounts the call to God, for to be righteous, rejoice and praise. While focusing wholly, referring to those among God’s people who have walked uprightly.
Rejoicing in the LORD – Calling upon the righteous to sing praises to God, for those of saintly desires to be merry and upright.
Where those who follow God are called to rejoice in the LORD, and in none such else. For to rejoice in comforts pertaining to that which is temporal is unwise, whereas to rejoice inclined to oneself is foolish, while in sin is deadly, yet inclined to God in rejoice is heavenly.” (Spurgeon)
Psalm 33.
1 “Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.”
2 “Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.”
3 “Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.”
4 “For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.”
5 “He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.”
6 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”
7 “He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.”
Hebrews 11. – Where faith is needed.
“By faith we understand that the Universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” ( Hebrews 11:3 )
While we may begin to comprehend that the Universe was formed by the Word of God and yet, our faith also takes on an incredible act within the creation of the world. While nothing was, God did saith that creation shall exist when there be nothing. Wherein faith was taken upon the part of God, He had a belief that His Words would create the physical creation as it did so.
While faith is key to how God’s Kingdom works, while faith has the power to bring that which is not created into creation..
Wherein speaking in faith unblocks that power, while bringing it to pass. We can speak the Word of God with authority to any situation, being satisfied that it will bring change to our circumstances.
1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
2 “For by it the elders obtained a good report.”
3 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Psalm 61.
Written by David pertaining to a time when he had been far from home and safety for some time. He begins with a despairing cry to God. While hopeless, lost, and struggling, he recites of how his heart is overwhelmed.
While difficult to admit many of us can empathize with David‘s feelings as he writes. We know what it is like to sit in darkness and wonder if light will ever come. lamenting, David’s prayer is inclined toward’s God. knowing that to find rest and refuge is for God to reach out to him.
1 “Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.”
2 “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
3 “For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.”
4 “I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.”
5 “For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.”
6 “Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.”
7 “He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.“
