Here is how to escape from poverty, as an individual, as a collective, stating with you, then the family, then the country and then the whole world, one person at a time. What you learn from this site you will apply to your life, live it with your family, become an example for your fellow human beings, your interaction with people in your country, spreading what you learn to the rest of the world. This is the aim of these writings. Here are the step by step instructions on how to escape poverty using the word of God and experiences people who escaped poverty.
There are three steps for overcoming poverty that we will discuss in this page.
A_ Practice the presence of God
B_ Overcome your fear
C_ Develop your spiritual awareness
A_ Practice the presence of God daily
To change the trend of life for yourself you must make a conscious decision to seek the light rather than darkness. Meditate, contemplate and ponder on the truth that God is the only power in your life, a loving power that provides for all things in life. Practice the presence of God and you will experience the meaning of these words: “the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. He shall meet all of your needs according to His riches and glory.
When you understand that truth and start seeking only the presence of God and the power of God within you, you will soon realize that nothing can touch you but God’s love. You will know the meaning of these words: “He who dwelt in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty”. Knowing this truth and it will become your shield and buckler.
B_ Fear is your enemy, overcome your fear is the second step
“Fear not and know that I am God, besides Me there is no other”. These words alone should be sufficient to help you overcome your fear. If you know that God is individualized inside of everyone and is the only power that exists in the universe, you should have no fear of anyone because you know the truth about them. They are all of God and by God. You must trust people and welcome new experiences for God is now the only power that works in your life. Isn’t it strange that when the angels of God meet people, they always say, fear not as if that it is the password that will make communication possible with them. They say fear not because fear is a stumbling block that keep people from perceiving the spiritual world around them. The angels are spiritual beings but fear will turn them into ordinary beings just like you and I. if we were able to elevate our mind from fear we would be able to escape suffering and sorrow. Separating us and robbing us of our spiritual awareness is a state of fear. Don Juan the character in Carlos Castaneda novels says that fear is the first enemy in our path to wisdom or enlightenment. We must first conquer our fear if we want to become aware of the spiritual world around us. Since the spiritual world is the causal world, the cause for the material world, we cannot affect the material world without first get a handle of the spiritual world.
C_ Develop our spiritual awareness
Right identity is the first requirement before we can achieve spiritual awareness. Who is man you may ask? Answering this question, the bible says that man is a spirit being, clothed in flesh; he is the breath of God encased in a human body. Identifying yourself with the spirit inside of you is the first step in developing spiritual awareness.
There are forces at work in the world which you have no control. They exert their influence over you by driving you with their impulses and you behave accordingly despite of yourself. Some of these forces seem terrible, because they come to do away with you; they restrain you, keep you behind, and cut you off out of the possibilities of this world. An example of these forces on humanity is in the case of black people. The impulse to negate and to cut off blacks out of the possibilities of this world comes from the forces for Negation. I want to let you know that these forces can only influence you subconsciously, because you are not aware of them you don’t know that they exist, you just feel them, you see the result of their influence on people around you yet you are not aware of them directly(consciously). These forces that restrained you are indeed powerful but be of good sheer, know that their power are diminished as God made revelation such as this possible for you to hear. Truths that were once hidden from you are now made available to you, bringing you awareness, awareness not only for you to be aware of their influence but to overcome them.
“My people perish for lack of knowledge” It will be naïve for you to believe that there is no opposing power in this world and that there are no forces at work in the world restraining you and trying to keep you behind. You must know that they exist and eventually why they exist. Why they exist, is a subject for another discussion, but the fact that they exert their influence on you is important.
Know this fact that their reign of power over the human race is at an end. Their days of terror are gone. They have spread terror in the heart of humanity in the past in the form of apartheid, James Crow Laws, the Holocaust, slavery. God has literally broken their hold on humanity; truths that were hidden about them are now made to come to light. Recounting their influences on humanity, it was not more than fifty years ago that it was impossible for a Blackman to stand next o a Whiteman as equals. The disparities that separate them were enormous; blacks were restrained on every levels of existence, spiritually, mentally and physically. Without a special gift from God to help a Blackman free from the influence of Negation, a Blackman was doomed to suffer the lowest that this life has to offer. He was cut off and cut out of the possibilities of t his world. As a result a Blackman has no recourse but to become secondary citizen, subjugated to be servant for the Whiteman. God was not pleased with this situation for humanity; seeing the end from the beginning, He made provision through His Son Jesus Christ. He made provision for His Son to come down to earth in order to destroy the works of the devil. Keeping blacks behind was a way for the devil to sustain his adversarial system, his works of darkness.
What is darkness you may ask? Darkness is the unconscious; the world that we live and experience yet have no real conscious or awareness of what behind it. What behind it affects us yet we are not aware that we are affected. This is the darkness of this world; this is the world that Jesus came to destroy.
“Now is the darkness of this world cast out, the ruler of this world cast out”. White privilege is not an invention of white people; it is a fact that they are only acknowledged. It is a fact that they are privileged in this world to succeed because they are affirmed while blacks are negated. Equally truth is the fact that whites are affirmed in the world, blacks are negated, restrained, cut off and cut out of the possibilities of this world, while whites excel and prosper, blacks are restrained and stagnate, left to lag behind. Why is this so you may ask? It is so because without this duality in human existence, there will not be an adversarial system to drive humanity. Blacks are the step stools upon which humanity stands; blacks are the back splash by which to contrast the achievements of mankind. To resort differences between blacks and whites is to maintain the adversarial system, the driving force behind the acceleration and the stagnation of humanity, the machinery that maintain humanity continuously consuming the fruit of better than, the knowledge of good and evil.Subscribe to RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/BetterLivingWorld
