Moving In The Spirit

As you may have read in previous posts I have said that one of the greatest gifts from God is to reach a point where your heart, mind, body, soul and spirit act as one. We all have a spirit within us. We all in our lifetime have been moved by this spirit.

Some have received it in fleeting moments they probably don’t even remember consciously. Others remember it and question where it came from. Some have experienced it and longed for its return. Others have experienced it, cherished it and retained it.

I feel I first got in touch with mine as a very young boy on my grandparents farm in South West Michigan. There were times I would go for long walks down the dirt road to the vineyard and beyond to the forest that bordered the farm. I remember I would walk thru the forest and wonder at the majesty of it all. I would hear the birds sing their songs. I would see the rabbit and deer play thru the trees. I would enjoy the beauty of the flowers and I would breathe and take in the fullness of the fresh air and natures aromas. I was comfortable and unafraid, even at the young age of five. Of course I was too young to categorize this as a special time in my life that developed my character, my memories and yes my spirit.

Thru the years I have experienced many such episodes, as I’m sure you have. These moments in time are special and whether you remember them or not they are a part of your life that God placed in front of you in an effort to shape and mold you into a child of His Grace and an adult of His Wisdom.

A long time ago I heard on an educational TV program that the average person uses only 5% of their brain capacity. Geniuses such as Einstein used maybe 7% as the program explained. I didn’t question this but I always wondered what the other 95% was there for.

Well, I feel I have been blessed with a possible answer for your consideration. When the first computers were developed one of the biggest problems was storage capacity to file away all the “stuff” we create, download, or use to manage and utilize the many programs we use on a daily basis. I feel our brain is the same way. The other 95% (or a major part of it) is storage. Our memories from the time we were born to the present day.

Maybe you’ve been told that when we pass our life is played back to us in an instant. All your good deeds and yes all the bad one too. Where does this life history live? In that other 95% of our brain science says we do not use. We do use it. It is everything we’ve ever learned, every song we’ve heard, every experience we’ve lived, every pain we have suffered, every thing you have seen, heard, smelled and touched. They are all remembered the key is in the skill of recall and utilization.

Moving in the spirit captures these memories and utilizes them to create that specific moment in time you experience when blessed with the revelation of the heart, mind, body, soul and spirit. The more you can capture these treasures in time, the more you will feel the spirit moving you and guiding you along your path. Also, many people retain these memories and recall them more easily than others. Remember those kids in school who could read something one time and pass a pop quiz the next day no problem, while many others failed and had to reread it several times. This is a major factor of our intellect and ability to analyze and problem solve.

Your destiny may already be chosen for you, but your lasting legacy is created and remembered by you and those you have touched in some way in your lifetime. Remember your words and actions are not only in your “memory storage” but in the memories of those individuals you have contacted in this life time as well.

God created a masterful machine which is you. Not only in His image but with some of His abilities as well. I hope you experience these abilities in your lifetime. They are special and they are a part of you no one else has. You are a unique individual but we are all Gods’ children. Remember this and I am sure your life will be enriched and your soul will be blessed with the movements of the spirit inside you which is in part the embodiment of everything you’ve ever experienced in your lifetime.

We glory in our achievements and good fortune.
We learn from our disappointments and struggles.

In His Service:
