Living a Fearless Life is Possible
Find out How!
​
I'm committed to an ever increasing depth of knowledge and relationship with God, to love God with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my body, with all my spirit, with all my soul, and to love you and everyone I meet as much as I love myself. These are the two most important commandments according to Jesus Christ - love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Although Jesus said this, it is known as the "golden rule".
In my Soul I am free and in your soul you can be free also.
Your Soul is your mind, will, emotions... and contains God's DNA (his "seed")
Romans 9:8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
In your soul is where freedom is lost and found.
​
IMPORTANT: You can't live - not true living - with fear inside you.
Fear is in opposition to whom God created you to be.
2 Tim. 2: 7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but [a spirit] of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Fear is in opposition to Peace and leads to death - not Life!
For Christians, there is much to say on this, but suffice it to say:
It is a lie to say "Absent from the body present with the Lord" means you must Physically die to be present with the Lord.
If being "absent from the body" means death, then we must ask:
-
How then can you be present in any form with God now?
-
How can God be omnipresent given our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
-
How can you call or think of your body as a temple of God?
​​
What then does "Absent from the body" mean?
Jesus said in Luke 9:23, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
Jesus also said in John 14:6, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." (clearly we need to follow "the Way")
We are obsessed with ourselves - our bodies and worrying about getting things to either keep us healthy or alive or satisfied with whatever we want. "To deny himself" is to make yourself absent from the obsession with "the body" or "the flesh" as scripture says. Jesus was always after the spiritual and criticized the leaders of his day for obsessing on the physical at the expense of the spiritual. We are consumed with the physical. Although taking care of the physical matters and especially since our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, it is the spiritual that we ignore or neglect even more than satisfying ourselves (our body's - lusts of the flesh). Until we "deny ourselves" , surrender to put 100% of our faith in our heavenly Father and the work of his Son Jesus on our behalf, then we cannot be renewed in our minds and cannot live with a fearless life nor have the abundant life Jesus promised He came to give us.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
To be clear - deny yourself doesn't mean you have live as a monk, have nothing, enjoy nothing. It means God First above all else. "Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added on to you.". God blesses those that see him first. Jesus said "Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you, and ask and you should receive". God is a good Father who wants to give good gifts to his children. He wants you and me to submit to His will and way. He is your "Daddy" in heaven. This verse puts together "knowing" you can identify as a child of God and denying yourself:
Romans 8:12-17 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Surrender of our wills and our ways to Abba's will and Abba's way is the ultimate way to deny yourself, the ultimate way to live fearlessly.

What am I about?
​
I seek to lift others up by how I live and what I do and provide love and light to all people. I desire that everyone know how special they are, and that they do have a unique purpose and mostly that they are loved. Even though I have not met you yet – I love you already because I believe God conceived a purpose for you before he placed you in your mother’s womb and you individually have a unique purpose for why you live. It is so important to understand that everything of value in life is based upon Truth, Simplicity and Love. The truth is simple - you are deeply loved and intended to love others and participate actively in the lives of others and grow in love and understanding of God.
What about God?
Does God exist and care about us?
Should we care about God?
God is the author of life – not death. God doesn’t want your death, he wants you to live and live abundantly and fearlessly. God wants you to know him as you are already fully known and conceived of and created by God. God does NOT want you to have a spirit of fear. God wants you to receive the eternal life ordained for you to have and to receive all the power and obtain the sound mind that you were ordained to have and that you can and will have by the power of God.
If you don’t believe in God, then only God can help you and you may not care what I have to say.
Even if you do not believe in God or are not sure if you do believe in God, everyone has faith (therefore believes) in something. Some believe God exists and some do not or are not sure and are maybe open to the possibility (and I hope that an open mind is what you have). If you have an open mind, you will continue to read and will want to know how to deepen your understanding of and relationship with God.
My Belief About God
I am here, among many things, to tell that the most important thing to know is that God Loves you and made you in the image of God with God’s DNA in you and his laws in you. This reality changes everything. Once you know this, a relationship with God becomes imperative. Why? You see God created you and therefore knows you and loves you and wants you to know and love and experience all that your Creator has to offer you. God is not just your creator, but your sustainer and savior and Father and his seed is in you and you are His child created for a unique purpose God ordained for you to have.
God exists as a three in one (NOTE: Christianity and Hinduism agree on this for the most part, possibly other religions):
-
Father. In Christianity He is called Father (Abba – which means “Daddy”).
In Hinduism, the Creator is Brahma. -
Spirt. In Christianity the body is considered the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
Known as the revealer of all truth. The Helper, Comforter, sustainer.
In Hinduism, the Spirit is Vishnu and is considered Feminine. -
Word. In Christianity the Word is God and became flesh as Jesus Christ.
In Hinduism, the Word is known as Shiva the Destroyer of Death.
What about Life and what about Eternal Life?
-
View 1: God doesn’t Exist – Atheist (so neither does eternal life): Those that do believe in God, do have a belief that nothing really matters in an eternal sense. If you don’t believe in God then you die and nothing happens to you. For you time stops. You have your time alive and then it is gone. Not believing in God leaves nothing to live for.
OBSERVATION: No one can live fearless this way because fear of death means all is done so fearing death your whole life is not really living. Believing in God and fearing death leaves no room for living. What you focus on you become. If you focus on fearing death, you die… maybe over a long period of time but death is the sure outcome and probably sooner than later. Death starts while living if you live in fear. If you are paralyzed (not moving) you are dying. To move requires purpose. If you die and there is nothing, then what is the purpose for life? It seems obvious that you can never truly live a fearless life believing this way.

View 2: God Might Exist - Agnostic, (the great unknown about God and eternity – I don’t care… or do I?):
If you have this view, you stay ambivalent to God. Therefore, If it turns out that he exists,then you are ignoring him and that can't go well for you. At the very least, shouldn't you wisely make sure that God does or does not exist? If God doesn't exist, you have to come up with interesting views on our existence like an atheist does. In any case you are saying you don't know and don't want to know or don't care - either way you find yourself with fear of dying and little to live for. If you think hard on this, you will have to admit that your ignorance or ambivalence (i.e. I don't know and don't care attitude) doesn't give you peace, doesn't make you fearless and doesn't allow you to really live fearless. Unless and until you persue a relationship with God to see if God exists, I know I can't help you other than to pray you change your position.

View 3: God Exists - Deist (The Unseen, Divine, all powerful Creator of All Things)
I fall in this camp – The other two views (as I see it) are both forms of denial of what is real and obvious and not scary like one would think. This view of God is a large camp with lots of views (Ideas and Philosophies) on God which boil down into all the Religions of the world.
More to come - always - as I learn and I find time to update this site, I will share There is much to say on this and I will say that without much more on this website you can't get the whole picture. I will add content to this site in the words of wisdom section as I have time.
Knowing/Confirming. Peace and fearlessness comes in knowing. Knowing has to do with confirming. How can you confirm? Stick with me and I will show you. Ultimately the person of God called the Holy Spirit will provide the knowing and confirming.
Have an attitude of Humility toward the creator of all things and start learning and go slow. Start by seeking God, Knocking on the door and asking for Him to reveal to you the truth. God's Only Begotten son, Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". Therefore, He is claiming to be the source of all truth. He also said that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of all Truth. Both He (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit submit to the will of the Father (as should we). Start with learning about that.
Reading Assignment: Read the first few books of the Bible (Genesis Chapters 1 through 3) and then read the gospel of John and 1 John in the New Testament of the Bible. To gain broad perspective, I suggest reading it in the King James Bible (JKV), then the New King James Bible (NKJV), then the New American Standard Bible (NASB) or the English Standard Version (ESV). IF you have a smart cell phone, download the Bible Gateway App or the YouVersion Bible App. In essence Jesus says there are two rules of life that sums up all we need to know in regard to simple rules for living:
-
Love God with all your heart, soul mind and strength
-
Love your neighbor as yourself​
What can we say about Religion?
I am personally not religious and don't want anything to do with it and really like the following quote:
Religion means Division – Jimmie Schwinn
