The idea that psychic powers exist, once planted, will not be easily shifted. It is inevitable that there will be an acceptance of the reality of psychic phenomena. I am not exactly sure what will cause it, basically it is just a case of making everyone wake up. Great intelligence, shining like a beacon, also indicates one’s infinite compassion and endurance. According to the ancient Hebrew text of Exodus (34. 29-30), after Moses received the Ten Commandments at the summit of Mount Sinai and brought the stone tablets down to the people, the prophet’s face shone bright like a diamond in the Sunlight, and literally sent forth beams. We recognize what a powerful source of mystification this can be. Suppose someone were to set out on a search to prove the existence of rainbows. (Yes, rainbows.) And moreover, that he or she found oneself having to prove it in the face of the raillery of sceptics who have been firmly maintaining that the whole idea of rainbows is riddled with paradox (you can just hear them: ‘Why has no one ever brought a rainbow home, why do rainbows always recede as you approach them, why is a rainbow visible from one side but not the other?’ and so on). These three main lines of discussion would be likely to offer in defense of one continuing commitment to search. #RandolphHarris 1 of 10
Three reasons for supposing that one’s advanced belief in the phenomenon was and is justified is respectively the debate from the seminal personal experience, the discussion from external authority, and the conversion from a priori reasoning. First, of course, the debate from the seminal personal experience, where the discussion is based on what was been experienced by the believer at first hand: I saw a rainbow myself last June. I watched it for a full two minutes while it arched radiantly over the wheatfield. It was a key moment in my life. I felt as if Nature were reaching out to me to reveal the perfect laws that underlie the seeming chaos of existence. Having personally witnessed it, I can never doubt again. When we exercise even the smallest amount of real faith in God, life can be filled with faith, joy, happiness, hope, and love. We should never get discouraged, whatever difficulties might surround us. If we are sunk in the lowest pit of Nova Scotia and all the Rocky Mountains piled on top of us, we ought not be discouraged, but hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage and we should come out on the top of the mountain. ‘I can do all things though God which strengthens me,’ reports Philippians 4.13. Knowing this is another precious gift from God, which allows us to experience the delight, joy, and warmth of the spirit of the Lord without any kind of distraction. #RandolphHarris 2 of 10
Next, the discussion from the external authority, where the argument is based on what other people, whose opinion the believer has reason to respect, insist is true for them: Even though I myself have never been privileged to see a rainbow, my professor, whom I absolutely trust, tells me he saw one last year and so did my wife’s father. What is more, I have seen pictures of them in books and read descriptions of them by some of our best poets. The weight of other people’s testimony is overwhelmingly convincing. However, too many people allows themselves to almost live online with their communication devices—blue light from the screens illuminating their faces day in and day out. Hearing assistant devices in their ears blocking out the still, powerful voice of the spirit. If we do not find time to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of life, we may miss opportunities to hear the voice of the Lord, who said, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.’ Now, there is nothing wrong with using a little social media and our communication devices when there is no one around for us to share our precious time with because these advances in the technologies are inspired by God, but we must be wise in their use. Remember, the day is a gift from God. #RandolphHarris 3 of 10
Furthermore (but in many cases, if not this one, crucially important), the debate from a priori of reasoning, where the discussion is based on what can be worked out from first principles: What I already know about the nature of light and the shape of raindrops allows me to reconstruct how rainbows are produced and why they behave the way they do. Ever since I first wondered what would happen if the Sun shone through rain in a certain way, I have been anticipating that rainbows must occur. I believe, in short, that rainbows are a logical and practical outcome of the way the World is made. Such an attitude amounts to a kind of paranormal fundamentalism. Those who think like this know in their bones that psychic phenomena have to be genuine. Though they may reluctantly admit that the public proof which they themselves have so long been seeking has not yet come to light, they have absolute faith that the phenomena must be lurking somewhere. May the Lord help and bless us to treasure our many precious gifts from God. Let us pray that we will be filled with love for our Heavenly Father’s children and be able to see their needs and be willing to answer their questions and concerns about the gospel in clear and kind ways that will increase understanding and appreciation for one another. And may the joy and peace of the Lord abide with each one of us. #RandolphHarris 4 of 10
Morbid thought that there is some deific power that is always testing us to see how much we can stand, or always restricting us lest we fail to recognize its overlordship, is one of the great psychological crimes of the ages. It really is human against human. However, some have come to interpret it as though it were God operating against humanity; as though it were the creator seeking to blot out his own creation. The people who have learned to forgive themselves, simply and directly, and who has come to believe that God eternally forgives, and who had learned to forgive all other (at least in their own minds because it may be important to stay away from people who are not trustworthy) finally comes to a place where one knows that the divine is for us and not against us. We reach a place where we know that love is the great reality. If we want to get rid of fear we need not take the time to consider each separate fear we may have—the fear of people, the fear of things, the fear of conditions, the fear of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. For all these varying forms of fear are rooted in one fundamental negation: We do not know that we belong to the Universe in which we live. We do not realize that God needs us or he would not have put us here. #RandolphHarris 5 of 10
Right now, there is a real tragedy going on in African American communities. They noticed people are more willing to redeem an aluminum can for a couple of nickels, before they even take the time to value the power of the Black community. There are corrupt officials who are trying to price Black people out of their neighborhood’s, make it impossible to get an education, and other look the crimes of others, but go out of their way to set up and take down the Blacks that are doing well, and that is why it can be hard for Black people to retain their wealth. While it is true that we can trace specific fears to certain incidents that transpire in life, and while it is true that if we do this we can remove them, most fears finally resolve themselves into a very few attitudes of mind, most which are base on the belief ‘No one wants me, needs me, or loves me; probably I am unworthy, unnecessary, and useless; I am inadequate to meet life, I have not the strength nor the power nor the will to overcome obstructions, and I do not fit anywhere.’ #RandolphHarris 6 of 10
These are the types of unconscious fears the adversary wants to put in our unconscious attitudes of mind and cause to rise from our repressed desires to live more abundantly because the adversary has an inward sense of inferiority because they are uncertain about their future. The adversary also thinks they can create cases off of spectral evidence and get you to ‘Go off’ so they can justify violating your rights and bring you up on real criminal charges, which will act as sort of a means to justify an end. Basically, their argument is they violated your civil rights because they knew you were a dangerous criminal, which gave them the right to do what they did. And when the adversary cannot get you to act like a militant savage, they will then infiltrate your family and friends with deals and offers to get them to set you up. That is why we have to be smarter and get our educations, stay out of trouble. If someone offers to help you and they have never done anything kind for you before, it might be best to pass up their assistance, it might be a trap to generate the spectral evidence and to start manipulating you. The way we get rid of demonic energy is through the cultivation of faith. Faith founded on the thought that God is all there is. #RandolphHarris 7 of 10
If we learn to see God in people, in circumstances and situations, we shall find him—seek, and ye shall find. When we turn in complete confidence, with a simple, innocent trust and faith, to life itself, it will always respond to us. It does not matter what the history of any evil experience may have been, or how long we may have harboured fear or resentment or doubt. Nor your race or gender or position because the adversary looks to take down anyone they fear. In the very moment when we turn from the distractions of evil, it will depart from us. You see, eternity is here and now. God is everywhere. The divine spirit is in every person. And the movement of the law of God is in all human events. We alone block our good, and we alone reaffirm it. We alone can readjust our lives to a new way of thinking until all out patterns of thought are changed. In doing this we shall be making the best bargain we have ever made, for we shall be swapping fear for faith, doubt for certainty, Hell for Heaven. It is destined that we shall do this, sooner or later, so why delay the day of our freedom from fear? This is the day that we should accept that Kingdom which is forever given. This is the day that we should get complete clearance form all of our past. This is the day God has made. Let us be glad in it. #RandolphHarris 8 of 10
Many communities currently are experiencing hardships, the average mortgage payment in major cities has gone up by 20-25 percent, and a lot of people want to buy houses because rents are unreasonable. The rents in some cities have increase by 50 percent. People do not want to keep throwing away money on something they will ever own. However, people feel like because they have a foreclosure on their credit report, bankruptcy, a credit score near 500, self-employed with limited income, high assets and large down payment that they will not be eligible for a mortgage loan. Where there is a will there is a way. With a nonprime mortgage, borrowers lower credit ratings can get a loan at a higher interest rate than a traditional loan or they may have to put down a higher down payment. People who are self-employed can use their bank statements as proof of income. And theses nonprime mortgages are responsible due to all the regulations and laws passed in the past several years. An example of some of those changes are: The Ability to Repay law (ATR), Appraisal Independent Regulations (AIR), and borrower needs to have power in the market by putting down a larger payment. Therefore, have faith and know no matter what your situation is, the American Dream is possible through faith in God. #RandolphHarris 9 of 10
Today shall contain joy and happiness, be filled with peace, and through it all there will be running the silent power of spiritual force, that which harmoniously and happily governs our thoughts and decisions and acceptances, so that everything will be done without effort. We are rational and while spectral evidence is accepted in regards to religion and faith, we know that when it comes to legal and financial matters, we need facts and real evidence. There are also Constitutional laws which will call for cases to be thrown out if it was found that there was something improper done. So, we lay all weariness aside and accept that the life-giving, invigorating, dynamic power of the spirit, knowing that it vitalizes every organ of our body, it flows with strength and purpose through everything we do, even as it leads us gently down the pathway of life. There is also a statute of limitations on crimes so the government cannot hunt its people like a bounty hunter indefinitely. Today is the day that God made, and we are glad in it. And when the evening time comes, the cool shadows of peace shall fall across our pathway and the quiet of the night shall enter into our souls, the beatitude of the spirit shall flow through us as a river of life. We shall sleep in peace, and wake in joy, and live in a consciousness of good, for God is over all, in all, and through all. Maybe someone did bring a rainbow home, open your eyes. #RandolphHarris 10 of 10
