DAGU KE ATAS


Hari ini saya akan menulis sedikit berbeda dari biasanya. Saya akan menulis tentang kesejahteraan fisik kita dan kesejahteraan kerohanian kita. Keduanya penting, bagi kesejahteraan fisik dan kerohanian kita. Ada banyak topik kesehatan yang ingin saya tulis, tetapi untuk saat ini, saya ingin menulis tentang postur yang benar ketika kita berjalan, duduk, atau tidur.


Ketika kita berjalan, kita sering berjalan dengan dagu ke bawah, bukannya dagu ke atas, netral, atau sejajar dengan tanah. Ini adalah postur tubuh yang buruk ketika kita berjalan dengan tulang belakang leher melengkung, dagu tertekuk, bukannya lurus ke atas seperti tongkat lurus. Jika kita melakukan ini selama beberapa dekade, kita mungkin berakhir di kursi roda. Dan saya pikir ini adalah salah satu sebab utama mengapa kita melihat banyak orang tua berjalan dengan alat pembantu jalan atau didorong di kursi roda. Dan saya pikir ini sebabnya. Di antara setiap pasang tulang belakang leher kita, ada cakram yang memungkinkan rotasi tulang belakang kita dengan mudah. Dalam posisi melengkung atau membungkuk ke depan yang kronis, bagian depan vertebra, katakanlah C-3 dan C-4, didekatkan. Ini meremas dan mendorong diskus posterior menuju sumsum tulang belakang dan kanal tulang belakang. Ketika MRI tulang belakang leher dilakukan, kita sering melihat tonjolan bagian dari disk yang terjepit ke dalam kanal tulang belakang dan sumsum tulang belakang. Dengan kata lain, diskus "mencekik" tali pusat dan mempengaruhi fungsi sensorik dan motorik sumsum tulang belakang dari otak ke ekstremitas. Selama periode waktu yang lama, Anda bisa kehilangan keseimbangan dan lengan serta kaki Anda bisa melemah. Kondisi tersebut terkadang dapat dibalikkan jika diketahui dan diobati secara dini, dan tanpa pembedahan, jika tidak ada herniasi diskus, degenerasi diskus, atau kondisi rumit lainnya. Jika terlambat terdeteksi, Anda mungkin berakhir di kursi roda.


Ingat, jangan berjalan, tidur di tempat tidur Anda atau di sofa, atau di belakang mobil Anda di mana dagu Anda dipaksa menyentuh dada Anda. Itu buruk untuk tulang belakang bagian depan leher Anda, terutama jika Anda melakukannya selama bertahun-tahun. Berjalanlah dengan dagu kita ke atas, dan bukannya kebawah, mulai sekarang. Ini adalah postur yang benar saat kita berjalan


Saya suka mendengar Tuhan berkata kepada saya seperti apa yang Dia katakan kepada Nabi Henokh, “Kamu telah berjalan dengan-Ku jauh dari rumahmu. Kamu sekarang lebih dekat ke rumah-Ku daripada rumahmu. Aku ingin mengundangmu untuk tinggal bersama-Ku. di rumahku." Dan tanggapan saya kepada Tuhan saya adalah, "Jika Anda tidak memiliki apa-apa lagi yang harus saya lakukan untuk Anda di bumi ini, saya akan dengan senang hati mengambil langkah ekstra untuk pulang bersama Anda sekarang juga!"


Angkat dagu kita. Ketika Yesus kembali di awan di atas, kita akan dengan sukacita menyambut Dia dengan dagu kita ke atas, dan bukan dengan dagu ke bawah, semoga. Kita akan membuat banyak kesalahan dalam hidup kita dan melakukan hal-hal yang Tuhan tidak ingin kita lakukan, tetapi Tuhan Maha Pengampun! Dia tidak menyimpan dendam terhadap kita.


“Jika kita mengakui dosa-dosa kita, Dia setia dan adil untuk mengampuni dosa-dosa kita dan menyucikan kita dari segala ketidakbenaran.” 1 Yohanes 1:9


Angkat dagu kita sampai Yesus kembali.

LEGAL OFFER FROM JESUS

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28 Today I am going to discuss a legal offer that Jesus offered to us, Jews and Gentiles when He was on earth thousands of years ago. If the Jews want to accept His offer, they are very welcome. If the Gentiles want to accept His offer, they are also welcome. If Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or even Satan worshippers want to take up His offer, they are very welcome. Jesus’ offer is open to everyone. I encourage all to accept Jesus’ offer because He is true and faithful to His words. But remember, and don’t forget, that His offer in John 10:27-28 is a legal offer. It is a contract. I want to caution every reader, however, to read His offer carefully in order to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. This offer is a legal offer, and if there are readers who are not familiar with the terms of a contra...

PASTOR-ATTORNEY

Now as Paul thus made his defense before King Agrippa, Festus, a Roman procurator said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!" Acts 26:24. I believe that all Christian Pastors should be trained as lawyers or Attorneys-at-Law. Why? Because the Bible is a law book. It has cases, laws, regulations, commandments, rules, etc. You can learn about civil law and cases in law libraries called reporters or law reports. Reading the Bible is not like reading a novel. The Bible is a collection of the history of law since Adam and Eve. The Bible is a law book! Many Christians are confused when they read the Bible, especially the writings of the apostle Paul. Festus told Paul that much learning was driving Paul mad! Do you know why he said that? Because Paul's legal arguments were not easy to understand and often confusing. Utter confusion, I believe, was the primary reason why we now have over 45,000 Christian denominations or groups globa...

CONFUSED?

Today I am going to write a few more words in case some of my readers are still not fully clear about what Jesus said when He said in Matthew 10:28, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Why did Jesus say that we should fear a God that can kill the soul, and not kill the body only? Do you know why? Most Christians don’t know the answer. They think that once we are dead we are done, finished. Once we are punished and burned in hell to ashes, there is nothing more to it, right? No, you are wrong! Why? Because the holy spirit tells me that while killing our body doesn’t take much work, a simple lethal IV infusion or high voltage electric current of an electric chair will kill our body, killing our soul is a different story. Only God can kill our soul. Our soul is resistant to death! Our souls can last forever when God destroys them in hell. That's why the Bible talks about ...

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world . A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16. Paul, on the other hand, contradicts Jesus and said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. ” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul said put your light under a basket. Don't glorify God with our good works. But in James 2:17 we read,  "Thus also faith by itself if it does not have works, is dead. " And so, who determines the work that we must do? Preachers, pastors, Biblica...

JUDAISM vs. CHRISTIANITY

Today I am going to write about a topic that I have not written about before. What drives me to write on this subject is not new. It’s about the shocking number of Christian denominations  that many of my readers have already heard or read on the Internet - over 45,000 worldwide. And there is only one Jesus. Is this good or bad? Why are there so many Christian groups or denominations in the world? I found the answer in Judaism and Christianity. There are 4 branches of Judaism - Orthodox Judaism, Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and Reconstructionist Judaism. And there are over 45,000 Christian denominations. Let us look back at the history of Judaism and Christianity. Both the Jews and the Christians believe in one God. The Jews called their God Yahweh, and the Christians called their God Jesus Christ. They are the same God. However, the Jews and the Christians do not worship the same God. The Jews worship Yahweh, but the Christians worship the apostle Paul, aka Saul. The Je...

KNOW YOUR HACKERS

Today I want to write about hackers. These hackers can be Pagan hackers or Christian hackers. They go to church every week, or they stay home hacking us every day of the week. There is a high demand for hackers. And good hackers should not have great difficulties finding jobs, private or public. First, I want you to know that you should never use any of your CREDIT CARDS to buy anything ONLINE Never! ATM cards okay. Hackers are spying and watching you by using the apps that you have installed on your computer. They can know your user names and passwords through your apps. The fewer apps you have on your computer the better. They will give you a lot of problems when you use your CREDIT CARDS to purchase anything online. If you have to purchase anything online you should use your DEBIT CARDS instead. Be aware that hackers can intercept or interrupt you anytime they want when you do online transactions. They may ask for your driver's license, etcetera. IGNORE them! You might think tha...

SABBATH

"And pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the Sabbath . For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:20-22. Jesus said that we should pray that our flight will not occur on a Sabbath when the Great Tribulation time arrives. Why ? Because the Sabbath must still be observed as a holy day thousands of years later after Jesus was crucified. This should tell us that whoever teaches that the ten commandments is abolished after Jesus was crucified will heavily pay the price for teaching lies and deceiving people. The Sabbath commandment to keep it holy was never abolished by God. It is still valid until Jesus returns, and beyond. Readers, why do you think Jesus told us to pray that our flight will not occur during the winter or on the Sabbath when...

ALL ABOUT THE HEART

Readers, do you know that when Jesus or Yahweh returns He will not only judge us by our deeds, but He will judge us first by the intention behind our deeds? Do we know that? Do you know that? If our intention is bad, God will send us straight to hell, no detour!  “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8. God looked at the intent of their hearts. They were evil. And God drowned them all! Whether you believe that Jesus had died for us on the cross or not makes no difference. If the intent of our hearts is bad, we go straight to hell, body ...

THE TRIAD OF SALVATION

Today I want to discuss the Triad of Salvation - work, grace, and salvation . Work is our part, grace is God’s part, and salvation is our part together - God working tog ether with us in a partnership to help us do His will. We must be in partnership with God if we want to be saved. Why? Because no one can be saved walking alone. Jesus said that only those who endure till the end will be saved. The only way that we can endure till the end is when we walk in a partnership with Him, as the Prophet Enoch did. He walked hand-in-hand with God until the finish line. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21) What is the will of the Father? Jesus explained in the following text. "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This [is] the first commandment.” (Mar...
