WHEN CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS GO THROUGH AN AWAKENING

an awakening is not planned, is not something one plans for, at least it was not so for my case. it just happens and when it happens life is different. whatever might have been your trigger to your awakening know that it was all planned as part of your soul's path by powers higher beyond you with your consent of course. you cannot undo it even if you might want to if you are still in suffering. when it happened to me I was left stranded and stuck for years, my life turned upside down. I was looking answers all over.

i had never heard of a spiritual awakening, I had heard it in church here and there but it was all religious and nothing close to this. my ego took years to go beyond religion, because I had identified with being a church person for the whole of my life. I could not allow myself to shed that layer or that identity that I had labored for all of my life.

religious people have it hard on an awakening, I have a lot of experience with that. when an awakening happens to you, you are being called to a higher dimension of life. its a shift of gears, moving from one state of operation to another, from fear based operation to love. you could think that we as believers will have it easier to embracing this kind of God led kingdom lifestyle, you would be surprised to realize that the religious spirit ( ego) thrives in fear, guilt and shame.

the higher way of operation which is all that Christ taught, was the kingdom of God which was not food and drink but peace love and joy and righteousness in the Holy Spirit. its the kingdom within not without. an awakening is bringing you to kingdom operation mode. operating in higher vibrations and coming out of fear. finding and embracing the freedom that you are.

when you are going through the dark night of the soul or ego if you like, you might not understand what good is that to you. I did not understand that also, in fact I was not in a state to call it the dark nigh- night of the soul. I felt total disconnection to all and continuous struggle and suffering. as a believer you would turn to religion for help but it would not work. that might have helped in the past when you had not awakened, but now, its different my friend. only God will help, turn inside and trust yourself. know that God is with you. Jesus is in you and trust that knowing. this journey will teach you to go inside not outside of you.

calm down and learn to calm yourself down and listen to the still small voice, that has always been there, take charge of the mind-noise and let the beautiful soul you are be in charge. when you are suffering whatever your form of suffering is, you might not have the motivation to calm yourself down. remember you are not alone, you have Christ in you, you are one with the Christ, tell yourself that, breath.

when you are in the dark night of the soul, five minutes of calming yourself makes a big big difference, five minutes walk makes a big difference. take small steps, it matters because you are showing yourself that you love yourself and your well being matters.

you are able and well equipped for this. you will come out stronger, wiser than you've ever been. you will find your peace. it is all well.
