\"pressure\"<\/a>Sam and Dave live in a beautiful coastal area near the beach.\u00a0 They both worked very hard to be successful in their respective careers and both were experiencing significant challenges in their businesses and life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over a period of about five years they worked on some projects together and did their best to help each other both personally and professionally.\u00a0 They both had great ideas, wonderful visions and plans.\u00a0 They worked very hard to make it happen.\u00a0 Sam and Dave made progress and learned a lot along the way, yet their projects and financial success never quite manifested in the way they had hoped and dreamed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was challenging, very challenging.\u00a0 While all this was going on, Sam and Dave learned more about each other.\u00a0 They shared important values and priorities in life.\u00a0 They both were spiritual, not religious and doing their best to follow proper principles and express their creative potential to help others.\u00a0 Sam and Dave became friends and then they became good friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

One day, Sam experienced something extraordinary.\u00a0 In fact, it was a miracle.\u00a0 Sam had been praying very hard and sincerely for his daughter, who had recently been very ill with a rare disease.\u00a0 Without realizing it, Sam achieved 100% faith was living more in his heart than he ever had and God heard his calls.\u00a0 So God visited Sam at his home one afternoon while Sam was sitting in his recliner.<\/span><\/p>\n

God said, “Hi Sam,\u00a0 I have been waiting a long time for you.\u00a0 You have been totally faithful and been calling to me, so here I Am.\u00a0 Would you like to know the answer to the question you have asked since you were a child?”\u00a0 Sam said, “Of course!”\u00a0 So God shared information with Sam that explained all of the confusion he had experienced growing up in his family.\u00a0 God showed Sam his life lessons, challenges and transgressions and how each human being is totally responsible for the life they create with their thoughts, beliefs, feelings, words and actions.\u00a0 It was incredible.\u00a0 Anything Sam wanted to know was available and his teacher was God.<\/span><\/p>\n

People had become so confused by the Bible and what man had done to religion.\u00a0 Having 100% faith and following the 10 commandments seem too difficult for people.\u00a0 God tried to make it simple by sending his son, Jesus to the world.\u00a0 <\/span>Jesus taught the most important thing was to love one another, have 100% faith in God and turn over all of your problems or burdens to God or Jesus and don’t try to do it by yourself.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, it is important to forgive yourself and others for any mistakes all the time.\u00a0 Since human beings are flawed and make lots of mistakes, all we have to do is ask God for forgiveness and His help and give Him our burdens.\u00a0 God will forgive us anything and we must forgive ourselves and others too.\u00a0 This is all it takes to live in the Kingdom, The Promised Land, The Holy Grail, whatever you want to call it, Paradise!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam was amazed by what was happening in his life and he started talking to God all the time.\u00a0 He shared his dreams, his fears, his hopes, his questions, his flaws and God never judged him or made him wrong.\u00a0 God loved Sam and showered his compassion and grace on him.\u00a0 Sam started actualizing his potential and transforming.\u00a0 It was incredible.\u00a0 Sam told Dave what was happening to him and how he felt with God in his heart and life.\u00a0 Dave, being a good friend listened and didn’t say much.\u00a0 Dave was supportive and happy Sam found God and was so happy with himself and his life now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks Dave noticed something was happening to him.\u00a0 When events would occur which usually made Dave upset or angry, instead he found himself asking, “What would God do now?<\/em><\/strong>”\u00a0 The next thing Dave knew, he would be more patient, kind, loving, compassionate, etc. depending on the situation. \u00a0 As time went on, Dave found himself asking this question often, even every day, and then many times a day.\u00a0 The more Dave asked this question, “What would God do now?” the more Dave’s life transformed.\u00a0 This ripple was becoming a wave.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

After a while, Dave told Sam what was happening for him.\u00a0 Sam was so happy for his friend Dave.\u00a0 Sam realized as he shared his truth and feelings with Dave, he was overflowing with God’s love and truth.\u00a0 Dave’s consciousness started transforming and acting like a tuning fork resonating at a similar frequency to Sam’s new alignment with God and the Creative Power of the Universe. \u00a0 Then Sam asked, “Isn’t asking the question what would God do now your way of giving God your burden?”\u00a0 Dave thought for a while as said, “I never thought of it that way before, yes, I guess it is.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do we humans try to do everything ourselves when we have the GREATEST POWER IN THE UNIVERSE, THE CREATOR OF THIS WORLD asking us to turn over our burdens to Him whenever we need help?\u00a0 Look at what we can achieve when we are one with God!\u00a0 After all, we all are God’s children and created in His image.\u00a0 We are God’s greatest creation and we are blessed with co-creative ability.\u00a0 It’s time to play a bigger game.\u00a0 When I Am Aligned with God I Am Always Victorious!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Life is interesting…join the conversation…ask yourself, “What would God do now if He was here?”
\nThe answer will definitely surprise you and transform you.<\/span><\/p>\n

blessings,<\/span>
