Differences

Well it seems that I should inform people more about Divine Lovism. So, I'll delve into the differences between Divine Lovism and other Christian religions. Most of the time you will hear someone say, "I am a God fearing Christian". Lovites should say, "I am a God loving Christian". Don't fear God, reciprocate the love he has for you. God loves us and we should love him. After all, God gave us our lives. Love for God should always be tempered with gratitude. Be thankful, that God loves you. Here's the part that a lot of people are going to have a hard time swallowing, sin and redemption. God loves you, unconditionally, he will not condemn you to a fiery lake. He wants you to do good, to be of good spirit. But at the same time he knows better than we do, that we are human and even the best intentions go astray. I struggle everyday with trying to be Godlike, but I still catch myself being foul. The glory is in the effort. Try to be good, try to be Godlike, this sounds cliched but ask yourself at every decision WWJD. If you don't know what that means its, What Would Jesus Do? You can supplement what would God do, or what would Buddha do? They are all representations of God. They all give the same message, Love and Forgiveness. So try your best to make good decisions, do things that are good, doing bad things deliberately will fill your spirit full of negative energy. The more negativity the further you are from God. Positive = Good, Negative = Bad. God is everywhere, everything, and even a part of you. The human soul is divine, it is the soul that should make all the decisions. God put a piece of himself in all of us. We are just souls walking around in temporary physicalness. Don't let the physical side override the spiritual side. Try always to keep the spiritual side in charge. Love All, Forgive All. I know that the forgiveness part is hard especially in cases of mass murderers. But we must seek to override our natural hate and disdain and try to see the soul inside the flawed physical mind and body. Prayer is the most important part of Divine Lovism. Pray every day, at least once. Then take some time to meditate on what you prayed about. I pray so much that sometimes I think God will get tired of hearing me. I saw on TV the other day about a high school student who was diagnosed with brain tumors. I immediately prayed for him. Prayer is a powerful tool that is often neglected. I found a picture of a sign in front of a Baptist church that said, A Free Thinker is Satan's slave. It's that kind of thinking that started the Spanish Inquisition. You should be a free thinker, you should not blindly follow any one doctrine. Seek the truth for yourself. Divine Lovism wants you to study all religions. Divine Lovism doesn't hold strictly to one book. All books are good, because knowledge is power. Confession, though misused by some, is good for the soul. But you don't need a priest to absolve you. Confess to God. He is always listening. He understands you better than anyone on earth. The main difference you will find between Divine Lovism and other major religions is that we will never ask you for money. We don't need money, we have God. Use your money for your needs, take care of yourself and your family. However Divine Lovism encourages donating to charities that feed the children or to Ronald McDonald House. Charities that have a proven record of doing good with the money given to them. I cant help but think that a church that asks for tithes is somehow corrupt. Well I hope this helps someone, if your considering Divine Lovism for yourself contact me at Godsdivinelove(at)hotmail.com I will be more than happy to counsel you and pray with you. God bless you all.

Prayer 101

I thought about what I would write next, but could think of nothing. Today I asked God what he wanted me to write about. I quietly meditated for just a moment and there it was. God wants everyone to know how to pray. If your already following a church or used to things being a certain way, then you may not like my way. However no one told me my way was right or wrong this is just how I do it and it is effective. I start by thanking God, for my life, for his love, for my family, for everything, for any particular answered prayers. I then ask the question or questions I am seeking help with. Then I say thank you God for listening. Then, because of my belief in Christ, I say, I pray to you O' Lord in the name of my saviour Christ. Then if you have time, meditate and listen for your answers.

You can pray out loud, silently to yourself, or any way you prefer. I recommend a position that shows respect to God, shows humility.

In Gods Hands

So far Divine Lovism seems to be just me, thats ok. I have put it all in Gods hands, if God wants many Lovites then God will lead them here. If God wants us to have a physical (bricks and mortar) church, then he will provide. Thank you God for getting me to this point.

Seek Knowledge - Recommended reading



This is an interesting ebook I've read. Mind Reality - The Universe is Mental by Enoch Tan.


I believe you can find it on http://www.free-ebooks.net/

This is recommended reading for Lovites.

Here is the basic message


The World Within and the World Without

There are only two worlds. The world within and the world without.

The world within creates the world without.

The world within is mental/spiritual, the world without is material/physical.

Complete understanding of the two worlds is perfect knowledge.

The key is to understand the world within and use it to rule the world without.

The world within is the cause, the world without is the effect.

The inner governs the outer always. The outer is a reflection of the inner.

The world within and the world without are not two separate worlds. They are two different levels of the same world.

The world is mental. All is mind, the universe is mental. As above so below, as within so without. This is secret knowledge.

The two most important kinds of knowledge are secret knowledge and governing knowledge. One gives you awareness, the other gives you power. Secret Knowledge is knowing how things work and understanding what’s going on. The reason why it is secret is because it is not normally known. It is so powerful that only those with insight and perception can appreciate its value. Only conscious people can see reality for what it really is.

When you have this knowledge, you can use it first to govern yourself, then use it to govern everything else. This is called using secret knowledge as governing knowledge.

Governing knowledge is knowledge that runs your psyche. It is the governing statements of your mind that determine what you do, how you do it and why you do it. It is the operating dynamics that controls your thoughts, your emotions and your behaviors. What governs your mind, governs your reality. By governing yourself, you can govern the world.
When you can control yourself, you can control others.

You can only control what is without by controlling what is within. All control is self control.
To be in control, you must know. All knowledge is self knowledge. You can overcome something by overcoming it within. When you overcome it within yourself, you overcome
it in the world.



Now that you've read that, hopefully, understand that just because I say you should read it doesnt make it law or any such nonsense. I recommend it because you might gleen some bit of knowledge that can help you in your life. I did. It helped me define the real difference between spiritual and physical. It also helped me to deal with my arachnaphobia. I hope it helps you. God Bless.
