You Can Win With Spiritual Power!

People can win with spiritual power, no doubt about it.What is spiritual power? Traditional religions, new age, law of attraction. Like it is all "spiritual".

Cultures change, people change, and so do societies for that matter. In the 21st century, a great deal of importance is placed on “what can religion do for me”?

We are bombarded with all kinds of messages from the religious, new age, and contemporary self-help communities.

I like Jesus Christ’s teachings. Why? I think Christ’s principles can be applied very successfully to today’s problems. Matter of fact, I think Christ was a great Revolutionary. Turn the other cheek, Love your neighbor as you love yourself, forgive others as you would have God forgive you, it goes on and on.

It took a lot of courage to talk this way during the lst Century A.D. The middle east back then was a harsh place to live. Old Testament style living dominated back then-eye for an eye. It still does, at least according to the newspapers.

Matter of fact, I find living like a Christian to be very much like living as a Martial Artist. I kid you not. What do I mean by this? Incidently, I am a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do.


It’s like I am walking around with a support system or a body form support system. More specifically, I carried around with me the Tenants of Tae Kwon Do while I was doing the martial art.

The Tenants gave me sense of moral direction in conjunction with Tae Kwon Do. A sense of self-discipline and living with intergrity.

For example, my aggressive nature sometimes would lead me in the desire of wanting to whack some smart aleck in the mouth. But no way! This is a definite "no no" in any Traditional Martial Art school. You are instructed to be a positive force in society. No anti social activities allowed. Otherwise, you can get into deep trouble with your Master teacher.

Same thing is true with Christianity. Venegence is mine saith the Lord. Love your neighbor as your self. Forgive others as you want to be forgiven. Here is my
“harness” again. That’s what motivates the self discipline.

Controlling your temper is a great virtue in the Bible. In fact, self control is more important or more favorably looked upon, then, being a general of an entire army. God knows, this is a weakness of mine. I am sure I am not alone. This is how you win with spiritual power. It keeps you out of trouble and allows you to stay positive.

What’s curious about all of this is that other great people of history have taught similar principles. Just for openers-Great Teachers from India, China, and the Middle East. I believe a person’s “spiritual reality” is greatly dependent on the culture they were nurtured and matured in. The Truth is relative to the culture to a strong extent. So you win with spiritual power.

My spiritual upbringing was Christian orientated. However, being an ex-marine, I lived in Japan for a few years and observed the Japanese population and its practice of Shintoism and Buddhaism. I honestly feel their religious principles are just as valid as mine. How does that grab you? I mean the people in their home towns are just as “decent” as the people in my home town. And, you win with spiritual power.

So, I am not about to make any judgments of who is right or wrong. I think this same cultural validity of religion or spiritual wisdom applies to most societies.

What I do know for sure is that you can take the teachings of Jesus apply them to living today and experience a dynamite life. For example, if you want to succeed in anything and win with spiritual power, just take Christ’s teaching-that faith will move a mountain. No questions asked! Just believe in the power of belief and you can do it!

What I love about Christ is he was not a picky picky kind of guy. That is, a never gave anyone the 3rd degree when someone came to him with a problem and wanted it fixed! In those days, it was mostly “cures” from blindness, sickness, or what have you. He would grab those people by the lapel and tell them that they are healed, their faith has made them whole. Go and tell no one! You see, you win with spiritual power.

I ask you, how can you not love, respect and honor a person like this? You can obviously tell I am a Christian “Liberal”. In another words, I don’t loose any sleep over the finer points theologians may fight over in Seminary.
