One thing that’s become very obvious to me over many years of doing this work is how many people within religion, or other ‘spiritual’ practices, don’t want God in their lives. The most devout people sitting in churches will argue this point strongly, but what so few of them fail to recognise is the fact that what they’re actually devoted to, obeying and following is the religion they’re part of, not God.
People involved in other practices they call spiritual are no different. God is left behind by most people claiming to believe in and follow Him. Their devotion is very admirable and they’re often seemingly very pleasant people, but they’re mostly not following God’s rules, laws or ways, but doing everything man demands of them without realising it.
My work has taken me down the middle path between both worlds of false spiritual practices and the Orthodox Christian teachings. So much of both ways can be utterly beautiful, filled with meaning and love, but much more isn’t.
It’s not the first time I’ve talked of unity and division within spiritual life, but most people involved in either of those ways refuse to accept they are being divisive, superior, self congratulatory and far removed from God. Nor are they aware this has happened due to them following man’s ways and demands rather than the One they profess to follow and serve. This can be said for both leaders and followers.
No matter one’s belief or unbelief, people choose to be either good people or bad, united or divided, accepting or unaccepting, to love unconditionally or love with many conditions attached. The law of opposites is relevant and applicable to anything we do or say in life, but it’s clearly seen things are going wrong when everyone is so unaccepting, intolerant, filled with hate, puts conditions on everything, feels superior and says their way is the only way.
The only thing any of us in life should be rejecting or calling out and standing up to is badness, no matter from where it comes or who it’s seen in. Badness is a choice just as goodness is. Jesus came to this world to teach us all how we are meant to be, why we are here and the purpose of our lives, yet His teachings are mostly ignored.
His teachings embraced everyone in the world, not just people within man made religions. He accepted and loved everyone; never discriminated, hated, failed to teach, guide or heal anyone due to their religious beliefs, skin colour, ways of life, mode of dress or lifestyle. No, He loved, and does love, unconditionally. How many of you can say you do the same?
Does your belief system allow you to love everyone unconditionally, thinking of others as your equal no matter who they are, what faith they do or don’t follow, how they dress, choose to call themselves, live or behave? Do you only reject badness and call it out if needs be, or do you reject otherwise good people just because they don’t fit in with your idea of who and what everyone should be?
We were told by Jesus that there are many paths by which we come, but the two we need to be very aware of are the two most important ones. The narrow and the wide paths. The narrow one leads to life everlasting in paradise, the wide one to permanent suffering in hell – a place people mock and say doesn’t exist. But does it?
One is a path very easy to walk, the other much harder. Is it any surprise then that the majority choose the wide path without even bothering to think about the difference between their choice or the consequences? Let’s look at them both.
The wide path is the far easier one to walk. It’s the one where we live and do as we please pandering to man’s demands rather than God’s. We twist God to make Him into our own idea of Him so we can speak, think and behave as we like. We excuse all bad behaviour saying He will forgive everyone regardless if they repent or not. Basically, with them, anything goes. Religion, their leaders and followers can sadly be found travelling this road in many, many ways.
The narrow road is the hard one. It’s the one where we live and behave as God asks us and God only. The path that asks us to love everyone unconditionally, to accept everyone and their lifestyle choices unconditionally. The one where we are to reject badness, division, hate, intolerance and all things that take us from God rather than to Him. It is the hardest road and the emptiest one.
Look around you at the world and it’s easy to see how many people not of any spiritual practices or beliefs have also cast out God. Not only have they cast Him out, but they openly ridicule and become aggressive to anyone who does believe in Him. Their hate and aggression is supported and defended by others who are no better. This is people on the path of badness, the wide path where all the hypocrites within religions or other spiritual practices also walk.
Then look at the others also not believing in God nor knowing anything about Him. Those who are really good people, but who are sadly in the minority. They have chosen the narrow path, that harder one to walk, but the one where they walk alongside other good people who try hard to avoid all badness as much as they can.
No one wants a hard life, one filled with hardships, suffering or anything that makes each day difficult to bear. No matter how hard it is though, no matter how many hardships, how much badness is aimed at them, no matter how many temptations come their way, they refuse to change to suit anyone. Their only intention is to follow God and be as He asks of us all.
Everyone chooses their own path. That path can change many times over a lifetime with some changing from the wide to the narrow and vice versa. Whichever path is chosen will decide one’s fate on leaving this world. It’s no coincidence that no matter how die hard an atheist in life, no matter how bad a person has been who states they believe in nothing and that there’s no afterlife, many of them when facing death pray at the last moments ‘ just in case’.
Why wait till those last moments? What if your last moments come with no warning? Why would anyone choose to be a bad person over being a good one anyway? Your life choices decide your fate. Casting God out of our lives as much as people have is why so much is happening in the world that’s bad.
He warned us that unless we come back to the Almighty, lead good lives, we would have to suffer the consequences. We were told almost thirteen years ago what would happen, how everything warned of would increase coming closer and closer together and bigger and bigger. It was even told to us that people would liken it to apocolyptic happenings.

We are now seeing those very things warned of happening daily, hearing people say exactly that very thing about it being apocalyptic of many of the disasters. Read what we were told, share it with others, open your eyes and recognise the truth in those words. No matter how much you think you don’t believe in God, no matter how religious you are and believe yourself to be following Him only, can you keep ignoring the facts? Only you can decide.
Two books with the same words in each, but with two different names to reach as many people as possible. Ignore it if you must, but you need to make your choice based on knowledge and facts to decide which path you wish to continue walking. Ignore it at your peril.
