IN FEW WORDS
DIRECTLY INTO YOUR LIFE
INTRODUCTION
God conceived us to be free, to be able to choose to live in total dependence to Him to be sustained in our perfection, and this we can only do but when we live in an atmosphere of praise.
THE IDEA
An atmosphere of praise is healthy for us, as it keeps us being positive, in charge, making the right choices, eating right, drinking water at the right time, and breathing freely, enjoying God's plan for us in His nature, blossoming in beauty, knowing that Jesus will lead us into the right path and have His Holy Spirit sustain us.
THE LESSON
How many times we have sank into depression, when it's not plain despair, worrying, rushing in our reactions, and ignoring God. And in the process, all we have done is make things worst, despising all the health rules, and messing things up, only to bring them back to God at the end of the day, if it's not at the end of the road altogether. We lose faith, and become negative, even about God's promises. But God works better with us when we praise Him, believe in Him and keep being positive, then we become more aware of the alternatives, as he leads us with the help of the Holy Spirit, with the grace of Jesus in our heart. And there are so many blessings to our health, because of the sweet effect of praise for God, the serenity of being positive, and the healthy choices we tend to make, we thus breath fully in peace, because we can...
THE EMOTION
Sometimes life is tough and we don't see the end of the tunnel, but God is still there, and He is still in charge. In praising, we keep in mind all our victories with God, and we keep hope alive. God has plans for us, and the plans He has for us are plans of happiness to give us a future (Jeremiah 29: 11). We want to keep the atmosphere of Heaven in our life, the feeling of being in touch with God, we want to keep our body and our mind in tune with the perfection of God's will. We want to praise our Creator and our Redemptor, and find fulfillment in this relationship with Jesus, through His example, reading His word in communion with the Holy Spirit. What love, what peace, what insight at our disposition in our praising our loving Father. Such well being in the total health obtained in praising God, as we are lead to total life, in our body and mind, and the effect they have on each other. What pleasure to breath in a body well taken care of, in the happiness of praise, and the oxygen invading our life. Yes God you are the air we breath, and Jesus is our water of life, and the Holy Spirit is food to our mind, He provides resources to all our endeavors inspired by Him.
THE APPLICATION IN YOUR LIFE
Let's keep the praise going, let's keep Heaven on earth in our hearts and minds. Let's enjoy the quality life God has provided for us in eternal relationship with Him. Let us be inspired in our struggle on earth, as God has assured us of victory. Let's praise our Eternal Savior, and let us listen to his word Jesus, let us do what the Holy Spirit inspires us to do, take care of our health, eat right, breath well, be positive. Let's revel in an atmosphere of praise.

RIGHT INTO YOUR LIFE
INTRODUCTION
God has provided rest in all the turmoil from inside and outside our life, and even better: TOTAL RESTORATION.
THE IDEA
We need the rest and even more the restoration, rest from physical tiredness, rest from mental troubles, rest and spiritual restoration, rest from our usual activities, the Sabbath for restoration, rest in God's peace, renewal now and total restoration at Jesus' coming.
THE LESSON
We need to take a break. God is in charge. We need to balance our lives into God's hands. We need to respect the laws of nature that God instituted for our well being. God has plans for us, to make us happy, we need to come into His rest, His quiet physical rest, His Faithful rest, His Prayer rest, His Sabbath rest, His redemptive rest, His renewal and His rest into Heaven.
THE EMOTION
How peaceful is rest in Jesus! The loveliness of the right amount of sleep. The fulfillment of being physically ready. The faith that we are in God's hands and that He is leading us. The healthy intimacy of meditation. The power that comes from communion with God in prayer. The regenerating Sabbath, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Knowing and feeling God's sustenance, the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Heaven on earth in our heart, and Heaven to come, Eternal life with God. O sweet rest.
THE LIFE APPLICATION
How great it feels to be effective and efficient. Satan is trying to get us on shaky grounds, by keeping us too busy all the time, and by getting us to disrespect the natural laws of God. It's the little decisions that get us into trouble, decisions about rest, being a healthy change of activity, decisions about moderation and temperance. There is always more to do and to enjoy, now, but suffer later and more. There are always more worries, but there is always God, and faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit to listen to. REST IN THE POWER OF GOD, ALWAYS WANTING TO HELP AND TO GUIDE US INTO THE RIGHT COURSE. Jump into His open arms and listen to His word, Jesus, and keep in touch with His Holy Spirit for the right decisions, the right life, the rest, the restoration, and Heaven in your heart, Heaven in your life, at every step, power to regenerate you, and peaceful rest, and serene life: Eternity with you.
