Dedication

This book is dedicated to

God for wanting to become our friend,

exposing Himself to us in the flesh

and enduring extreme temptations.

All this to earn the right to be our

mediator, elder brother and co-heir

versus choosing to have an introvert

relationship with Himself

throughout all time.

We stand in awe,

with our praises to You,

for the rest of our

Eternal lives!

Thank you!

God

Dedication II

This book is dedicated to the following people:

My parents: Richard and Sally, for assisting God in bringing me into

this world, putting up with me in all my seasons and reminding me

from time to time, I am really human.

My brother: Eric and his family, for letting me see over time the effects

of my decisions while growing up together under our parent’s roof and

individually embracing our loved ones as we saw fit.

My children: Kezia, Rakkal and Aron for giving me the honor and

privilege of being your father and a mother when none availed. Your

lives were the beginning of my life in realizing how truly wise God was,

in designing family. It helped me to understand the depth of

unconditional love, faith and hope, between us as a family.

My children by marriage: for giving me the experience of embracing

you like you were my very own.

My grand children: Dakota, Isabella, Ashton, Madison, Adin and

Jackson, for giving me the honor and privilege of seeing my children

become parents themselves. Your lives were the beginning of my life,

in realizing how truly wise God was in allowing us to remember how

important it is to always embrace life like a child.

My future children and grand children by birth and marriage: for

giving me the honor and privilege of enjoying and celebrating life as a

legacy.

The two men in my life, that are like brothers, sons, friends, fathers,

men, mentors, entrepreneurs, philosophers, confidantes, comrades

and kings to me: Aron and Nicholas, for giving me the honor and

privilege of knowing what is like to sincerely enjoy all these roles as a

man. Time itself will reveal to all what this really means to me.

My special and dear friend: Mackenzie, for healing all those human

relationship scares I subconsciously accumulated through out all my

life.

My furry friend—Cooper: for assisting me in writing this book; by

waking me up in the morning when my alarm clock wouldn’t, waking

me up when I fell asleep in the chair writing and taking all those play

breaks from writing. Your timing was implacable. You put a smile on

my face every time I think about it. Thank you Cooper!

You all have made me realize how good God is,

at allowing us to enjoy His Life together, to the fullest!

I forever thank you all.

Habakkuk

Then the LORD replied:

"Write down the revelation

and make it plain on tablets

so that a herald may run with it

For the revelation awaits

an appointed time;

it speaks of the end

and will not prove false

Though it linger,

wait for it;

it will certainly come

and will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:2-3

Disclaimers

1. The main theme of the New Friendship Bible is an attempt to show mankind how serious God was in creating mankind as His friend and the depths He goes to keep that friendship throughout all eternity.

2. The adding of new books, changing of traditional titles and or scriptures references are solely to maintain the same friendship theme throughout this version.

3. Sequencing the events of the four traditional gospels into one woven story was based on cross checking and comparing each account’s documented sequence events. This gospel compilation account is from the book His Life manuscript by Optimum Vizh-an, published by Trafford Publishing, with additional editing.

4. References to Christ crucifixion were added, as documented in the book of Isaiah, to describe in more graphic detail of what really happen to Christ, during His crucifixion versus avoiding it like traditional Christendom.

5. It is not the intention of the author to replace the individual accounts and or the bible; that have been traditionally accepted for centuries.

6. This woven compilation account of scripture references are from the New International Version, unless otherwise stated.

7. Repeated use of the word friendship is intended to give a variety of examples of God’s dedicated desire in making us His friends by choice, based on His perfect love for us. This friendship theme has been applied to the traditional books of the bible so that our hearts can absorb this concept versus using the customary intimidation theme.

Preface

The New Friendship Bible is the sequel to the book His Life. His Life was based on the four common stories of the Word of God becoming flesh; woven together into one complete easy to read story of God reconciling His friendship with mankind. Author Optimum Vizh-an, Published by Trafford Publishing.

The NFB expands in more detail on how God desires to have a friendship with mankind. This sequel covers the time period before God created mankind, to God creating an environment that allows their friendship to exist then to giving mankind the free choice of choosing either to be God’s friend forever or not to be.

The NFB introduces new books to describe these different thoughts. This format is not intended to deceive the public into believing there are more new books that have been discovered and or these new books should be added to the traditional bible. These new books were created on the premises of various scripture references that are already available in the traditional excepted bible.

The following thoughts that lead up to God desiring to have friends like Himself, colligated over a twenty year period of my life; resulting from several one day, randomly three day and two—seven day fasts.

My prayer is that God would manifest His life long enriching friendship between you and Him, with your loved ones; as well as be equally blessed by it.

Construction Notes

The following notes are the behind the scenes, to the core logistics on how the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were woven together.

Which of the four gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John would be the best account, to weave the other accounts to?

Luke? Was strongly considered based on Luke starting his account with documenting that he had carefully investigated, verified and then wrote an orderly account, of the events that took place. Plus Luke was considered a doctor. But when it came time to weave his documented events together, Luke had the events in chaotic groups. Those groups had to be broken up, to be in better alignment with the other accounts.

Matthew? Matthew was a tax collector. This makes more sense, because he had to keep track of who owes what and when they didn’t, he had to make sure they did.

Mark? John? When studying Mark, the least publicized account; it was surprising to know, that he had more details per event listed then the other accounts. And John has a ton more of details on Christ the night he was betrayed.

Each account had their fair share of new revelations about the individual event or events, as well as being repeated in the other accounts.

It was decided that Matthew would be the over all framework to weave the four accounts to. Then based on the individual details of each event, would determine which account, would be the framework used to weave the other accounts, based on their individual focal points.

How were the other event references to Christ, in the other Books, considered?

Any event that had mentioned of Christ interacting with mankind was considered and added to this book. The other references were considered and added to this book were in the books of Isaiah, Acts and Revelations.

In the book of Isaiah, the reference considered and added was the description of what Christ looked like at his crucifixion.

In the book of Acts, the references considered and added were after Christ’s resurrection from the dead, his ascension, his encounter with Paul and Herod’s death.

In the book of Revelations, the references considered and added were who Christ is, what Christ looks like, his message to each angel over each of the seven churches, his throne, his worthy, his rest, his reign forever, his bride, his new heaven and new earth, and his invitation.

How was each woven event referenced?

The account with the most details would be the framework of that documented event. Then the next reference, with the most details was woven within the major reference framework. The same thing for the next reference, and the same again until all the references were woven together. Example: if Matthew had the most details, then Mark, then Luke and then John; it was listed like this, after each woven account details. Matthew CH:VS. Mark CH:VS. Luke CH:VS. John CH:VS. CH equals chapter and VS equals verse.

If the next event was better described by Mark, then John, then Luke then Matthew; it was referenced as, Mark CH:VS. John CH:VS. Luke CH:VS. Matthew CH:VS.

This pattern was more than likely adhered to, majority of the time. However when warranted, due to the flow of events, the framework reference would be chosen based on continuity.

Four examples on how the before and after actual individual event accounts where woven together:

1. Christ’s Water Baptism. Before:

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. Matthew 3:16.

10 As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. Mark 1:10.

21b And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22a and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Luke 3:21b-22a.

1. Christ’s Water Baptism. After:

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, as he was coming up out of the water he was praying and at that moment he saw heaven being torn opened and the Spirit of God descended on him in bodily form like a dove and lighting on him. Matthew 3:16. Mark 1:10. Luke 3:21b-22a.

Summary of weaving the accounts together as one:

For this event, we discovered there was no reference in the book of John on this event pertaining to his life.

Matthew’s reference brings to the one woven account: lighting on him. Mark’s reference brings to the one woven account: heaven being torn open. Luke’s reference brings to the one woven account: as he was praying.

2. Seed Sown on Good Soil. Before:

23 But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." Matthew 13:23.

15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. Luke 8:15.

20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop-thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown." Mark 4:20.

2. Seed Sown on Good Soil. After:

23 But the other ones who received the sown seed that fell on good soil, stands for those with a noble and good heart who hear the word, accepts it, understands it and retains it. And by persevering they produce a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." Matthew 13:23. Luke 8:15. Mark 4:20.

Summary of weaving the accounts together as one:

For this event, we discovered there was no reference in the book of John on this event pertaining to his life.

Matthew’s reference brings to the one woven account: understands it. Luke’s reference brings to the one woven account: with a noble and good heart, retain it, persevering. Mark’s reference brings to the one woven account: accept it.

3. Christ’s Encounter with Demons. Before:

1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. Mark 5:1-5.

26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. Luke 8:26-27.

28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. Matthew 8:28.

3. Christ’s Encounter with Demons. After:

1 They sailed across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes which is across the lake from Galilee. 2 When they arrived at the other side, Jesus got out of the boat and stepped ashore, two men with an evil demon-possessed spirits came from the town tombs to meet him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 3 For a long time these men had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but lived in the tombs, and no one could bind them any more, not even with a chain. 4 For many times it had seized them, and though they had often been chained hand and foot and kept under guard; they tore the chains apart, broke the irons on their feet and had been driven by the demons into solitary places. No one was strong enough to subdue them. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills they would cry out and cut themselves with stones. Mark 5:1-5. Luke 8:26-27. Matthew 8:28.

Summary of weaving the accounts together as one:

For this event, we discovered there was no reference in the book of John on this event pertaining to his life.

Mark’s reference brings to the one woven account: brings most of the details to this event, as stated above. Luke’s reference brings to the one woven account: For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house. Matthew’s reference brings to the one woven account: two demon-possessed men, so violent that no one could pass that way.

4. Christ with Pilate. Before:

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? 34 Is that your own idea, Jesus asked, or did others talk to you about me? 35 Am I a Jew? Pilate replied. It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done? 36 Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place. 37 You are a king, then! said Pilate. Jesus answered, You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. 38 What is truth? Pilate asked. John 18:33-38a.

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor and the governor asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? Yes, it is as you say, Jesus replied. Matthew 27:11.

2 Are you the king of the Jews? asked Pilate. Yes, it is as you say, Jesus replied. Mark 15:2.

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, Are you the king of the Jews? Yes, it is as you say, Jesus replied. Luke 23:3.

4. Christ with Pilate. After:

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and Jesus stood before the governor and the governor asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? 34 Yes, it is as you say, Is that your own idea, Jesus asked, or did others talk to you about me? 35 Am I a Jew? Pilate replied. It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done? 36 Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place. 37 You are a king, then! said Pilate. Jesus answered, You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. 38a What is truth? Pilate asked. John 18:33-38a. Matthew 27:11. Mark 15:2. Luke 23:3.

Summary of weaving the accounts together as one:

For this event, we discovered all the individual accounts had reference to this event.

John’s reference brings to the one woven account: All of the details except for the minor details in Matthew, Mark and Luke. See above. Matthew’s reference brings to the one woven account: Jesus stood before the governor, Yes, it is as you say. Mark’s reference brings to the one woven account: Yes, it is as you say. Luke’s reference brings to the one woven account: verifies the same reference as Mark’s.

Construction Notes Summary:

Based on weaving all four accounts together as one account, it leads us to believe, that each separate account potentially has missing details. When these missing details are added together they enhance the event even more. Without weaving the four accounts together, we would have to take time to read the other references and then some how combined them in our minds. Let a lone, try to remember which account reference detail is located. This version allows us to enjoy reading the enhance events, without thinking about how to sequence each event.

Construction Notes Mystery:

After going through the mechanics, in putting this all together, it felt like his story was originally one account to begin with. It’s like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were sitting around the camp fire one night, discussing how they should break his life story up into separate accounts, for the purpose of increasing the odds in preserving it for generations to come. It’s like they reasoned, protecting four accounts had a better chance of surviving all the famines, floods, pestilences and tyrannies it might have to go through versus protecting one account. Three out of four accounts could be lost and there would still be one account to refer to. If the only one account was lost, then there would be no hope of preserving it. One account would be harder to prove as authentic, as would four accounts. Since there are four different people who wrote an account on his story, maybe there’s a better chance of his story being true. It’s like they took this original puzzle, broke it apart, mixed up the pieces and then randomly divided them up into four groups. Each would organize their allotted pieces and call it their account. And then by chance somehow, twenty centuries later, God in his grace, decided to put the his life story puzzle back together again.

Added New Books Construction Notes:

Why new books? The purpose is two fold. The first is to make an attempt to reach out to; those who see God with stereotyped glasses, cultures who have been forbidden to read the bible for centuries and those who have become complacent with reading the most influential message of all time. The story of God’s unconditional love for His creation. The second is to show how God seriously desires to connect with us in a more meaningful way versus by a list of do’s and don’ts. We find this proof, in the way humans seek out friendships that they can trust, confide in and celebrate with. Good friendships are hard to find. We all hope to have one, but only few of us get to enjoy them.

The premises for creating these new books are based on balancing various scripture references throughout the traditional bible. These references give us clues on the possibilities of what might have occurred to cause God to create us as His friends and everything around us as gifts to us.

The pursuit of creating these versions of books and related traditional scriptures; are in light of selfishness living amongst us. Those in trapped by selfishness could have been tempted to rewrite versions of the Books of the Bible in an intimidating way; causing mankind to submit to her gatherings of feeling guilty for their sins.

This pursuit is based on the following three truths about the Word of God:

The Word of God sets us free to enjoy life with no guilt. Reference: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2. Selfishness convinces us our guilt is removed when we submit to her.

The Word of God automatically transforms our lives when we let it. Reference: who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that we will be like His glorious body. Philippians 3:21. Selfishness keeps adding to our to do list to make sure we will always feel guilty.

The Word of God brings unity. Reference: And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:14. Selfishness brings different forms of isolation and loneliness.

Meditations

What would you be doing right now if you had all your bills paid for, good health and more than enough money to do what ever you wanted to do?

Ok. Relax. Hold on to that thought and hide it somewhere in your heart.

Ok. Where are you now? Some of us have incredible stories to tell; stories that would inspire millions to keep their hope burning. Some of us desperately need a better life… now, before it’s too late. Then some of us feel like walking dead people, hoping to find something worth living for.

Ok. If you’re alive and reading this book now, you are going to be ok. YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK. Let, you are going to be ok, permeate into all of your flesh, your soul and your spirit to the point you feel like you are going to be ok.

It’s not a coincidence you and I are now sitting together thinking about these same things. I saw you while I was writing this book, generally speaking. I cried for you, I cried with God thanking Him for the honor and privilege of being with you in this moment of your life. PLEASE Hang on. PLEASE Hold tight. Hold tight to your hopes and dreams. They are more real to you than you think they are.

No matter what our backgrounds are, we are all facing the same things. No matter how hard we try to ignore it, it is still in our faces… so relax.

I must become at peace with my four walls. What ever I am challenged to face right now; it is my four walls, walling me in. I must become at peace living within my four walls, so much so, that I will own them. I will own my own peace, so much so, that no one will ever take it away from me. It will be there with me when I wake up in the morning. It will walk with me everyday. It will walk with me every minute of the day and night. It will be in my conversations. It will live constantly with me. It will always tuck me into bed every time I close my eyes. And by chance if I have a night mare while sleeping, my peace will come to me instantaneously and comfort me. Guaranteed.

I must relax. I must hold on tight. I must not give up. My creator is fully aware of my life and what I am going through. He will make a way for me. He so desperately wants to be my closest friend. He will never leave me. He will never forsake me. He is right here in my presence, right now. Relax. I will let Him into my living space, my life, my heart. I will let Him whisper in my mind of how much He loves me and regretfully hopes there was better way. But there isn’t. For me to have the most enriching friendship with my God I must let Him into my life. I will consent to it. I will… consent… to it.

To own my peace, I must learn how to control my thoughts. My thoughts, be they lies or eternal truths, can get the best of me. I must learn to control my thoughts. When i learn to filter out the lies—the false paradigms, I will start to learn how to harness the peace that passes all understanding. The peace, that allows me to enter into an enriching friendship with God. A good reference book for this is Maximizing the Armor of God manual, Author Optimum Vizh-an, Trafford Publishing

One way of controlling my thoughts are through meditating on certain things and thoughts, over and over again, until I become peaceful with those things and certain thoughts. (Phil 4:8. Finally, whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable-if anything excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Prov 23:7a. For what a man thinks in his heart, so is he).

So how do I define meditating?

Meditating is the art of mentally focusing on my thoughts; for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of awareness, of who I am within my limitations, to who I can be with unlimited resources.

This meditational version of the New Friendship Bible is not another personal devotion on; the different events and roles of Christ, the environment of the time in which He lived in, the meanings of special key words, nor on the purifying one’s self. These types of personal devotions have dulled my senses over the years. And now I have found myself hungry for an ongoing enriching experience with God, that will last me for the rest of my life. This book is the results of my endeavor to slow down, absorb what I was reading and then allowing God to manifest His deeper friendship experience in my life.

The NFB is presented in the perspective of God desiring to have friends made in His likeness. This desire emerges from the back drop of God basking in His omnipresence for countless eons, then at one moment, He finds Himself deep in His loneliness. After wrestling with Himself, for more eons, He realizes He longs for a friend. He sets out in pursuit to remove His omnipresence loneliness with His infinite wisdom. This adventure will take Him to all of the edges of His existence, in all of His dimensions. He will make eternal commitments and personal sacrifices to reassure Himself, that our friendship with Him, will be one of not by force, not by intimidation and defiantly not by keeping a set of rules.

With this knowledge, how can I bridge together my hunger for a deeper friendship with God and His desire to having friends into an effective meditational bible?

For starters, I know I can’t exist unless God allows it. I know I can’t produce anything unless God allows it. These take no effort on my part other than belief. These thoughts make my friendship with God one sided.

I have had seasons of absorbing His word, speaking His word and then resting in His Word. All these seasons have created a stronger foundation in my trust; knowing that God has everything under control and can create hope out of my deadest moments, from my darkest hours. These thoughts make my friendship with God peaceful.

Perhaps I could find the bridge to deepen my friendship in the abundant life that Christ promises us?

To be honest with you, at this moment in my life, I have yet to enter into that abundant life God promises me; abundant compassion, abundant good health, abundant successful skills, abundant good relationships and abundant wealth. Some say the baptism of the Spirit of God will take care of that. But why do I still seem more disconnected from the world in which I live. When I connect with those who seem to be baptized in the Spirit of God, our group seems to be disconnected from the world, all the more. Even though the Spirit will remain apart of my life, it will do so in a quieter, less charismatic way. This feels to me more like a reference to the abundant spiritual life more than the abundant physical life. But no matter how hard I try to be more spiritual, the more I end up feeling more physical. I have moments of spiritual encounters. But my flesh still yearns for a physical friendship more than it does a spiritual one. A spiritual friend seems more like an imaginary friend to me and to everyone else who’s observing me from a distance. These thoughts make my friendship with God isolated.

Why is it that my abundant spiritual life yearns to emerge with an abundant physical life? Why is my abundant spiritual life no longer satisfied with just the spiritual? Why is my abundant spiritual life now demanding to permeate my physical life until it is abundantly overflowing into my physical life; then to the point of taking care of me and my loved ones? These thoughts make my friendship with God enriching to both of us, with my loved ones and in all of creation.

God, being all spiritual, moves all of heaven and earth to connect to our physical selves, so that He can have a physical friendship with us.

Now with a Spiritual God, wanting to connect to physical mankind, by being physical and a physical mankind wanting to connect with a Spiritual God, by being spiritual; we now have a common bridge we can use, to enter into each others lives (God’s and mine) to deepen a life long enriching friendship with each other.

With this knowledge, how can God and I cross over this common bridge to enter into deeper life long enriching friendship together through an effective meditational bible?

It’s not by works. These thoughts make my friendship with God based on accomplishments. I will get weary by them. It’s not by signs. These thoughts make my friendship with God based on hope. I will get tired of them. It’s not by support groups. These thoughts make my friendship with God based on encouragement. I will depend on them.

It has to be by something from within me. Something that is apart of my life that acts like an artesian well of excitement, rest and a sense of purpose. No one will have to remind me, pressure me or assist me for the rest of my life and when I learn how to harness it, it drives me. The only thing that comes close to this is passion. The only people who truly seem to be successful are those who have the passion to pursue a vision. It seems like those who have harnessed their passions are full of life, full of purpose and full of satisfaction, every moment of their lives; for the rest of their lives. My passion can be anything from: wanting to assist those with physical, financial and spiritual barriers; express my skills publicly; having family; discover new worlds; provide more resources; harmonizing communities, nations and world economies; to getting control of personal weaknesses, ect.

Entering into a deeper life long enriching friendship with God is now in sight. When I visually imagine the manifestation of my passion, in motion with the word of God, I’m choosing to walk on this common bridge towards an enriching friendship with God. When visual meditation saturates every part of my life, every moment of my life, it becomes physically natural to me. When my passion comes alive, manifesting and reproducing itself through God’s word, that Glorifies Him, this synergy becomes the incubator for God to enrich our friendship between Him and myself.

With this knowledge, I now find myself in the presence of God. Smiling face to face, embracing chest to chest then together walking side by side, embarking on a new life long enriching friendship adventure!

I will now have a friend that is closer to me than a brother, a friend that I can confide in, a friend that I can trust no matter what and a friend that I can establish the Kingdom of God on earth with.

The following meditation format was chosen to assist in harnessing the spiritual saturating the physical. Each meditational thought is started primarily with, Imagine God then referencing to a new Word of God related manifestation, which I would like to physically experience in my life’s passion. My life passion is the gift God has prewired me with from birth, which I can easily perform, no matter what state I’m in. When I relax it flows freely. When I harness it, it blesses others and it provides for me. It is fully functionable. No matter how hard I try to run from my passion, it will never leave me. It’s right their by my side, all the days of my life. Some people find it early in life, others find it later.

The meditational thoughts are listed at the end of each section. Each thought is intended to expand my awareness, my understanding and my insights on how much God is committed in having a sincere friendship with me. One way of God doing this, is by deepening our relationship with each other through my life’s passion.

Meditations Reference Example: His Earthly Birth;

Imagine God working through the opening of my life’s passion’s eyes, to see it being surrounded by a great company of heavenly host, constantly proclaiming peace and favor over my life’s passion.

I would personalize this by switching out life’s passion with my personal passion, which in this case is book writing. I would apply this like so. Imagine God working through the opening of my book writing’s eyes to see my book writing bring surrounded by a great company of heavenly host constantly proclaiming peace and favor over my book writing.

This is the framework for me meditating on seeing multitudes of heavenly host proclaiming peace and favor over my book writing.

Meditations Reference Example: His Worthy;

Imagine God working through my life’s passion being so good, that it earns the right to open up new opportunities with unlimited growth.

Again, I would personalize this by switching out life’s passion with my personal passion, which is book writing. I would apply this one like so. Imagine God working through my book writing so good, that my book writing earns the right to open up new opportunities with unlimited growth.

With both these examples, it’s not a matter of debating with yourself if this is wrong or right. It’s about training our minds and hearts to meditate on good things. It’s about visualizing good things associated with our passions. It’s about visualizing God creating these goods things through our passions. The more we physically visualize these meditative thoughts the more enriching our friendship with God becomes.

Remember above all, it’s not how many pages I read or the things I accomplish; it’s being at peace and applying what I know that makes all the difference.

My prayer is that your passion will be quickly discovered—if not already and that God will continue to strengthen and grow it throughout the rest of your abundant spiritual physical life.

The Meditations format can be embraced either as a personal study and or in a group setting.

BEFORE CREATION

9 However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him—10 but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-11.

His I AM

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1.

I found Myself running again as fast as I could, only to end up in a tranquil peaceful beyond all understanding place. I will rest here. What is rest? My mind has infinite thoughts and concepts that interact with each other. Simple to complex; the simple is complex and the complex is simple.

How long have I’ve been here? It feels like a long time. The more I do in My time; I feel like I’m expanding and getting stronger but tired as well. How tired am I, when I am at total complete peace? Not worried about anything. I have everything and by possibility I don’t, I would instantaneously create it. I am glad, joyous and satisfied.

I am addicted to creating. I can’t stop creating if I wanted to. Nothing can stop me from creating. I create infinite things when I’m doing infinite things. It comes to me effortlessly. I don’t even have to think about it. It just happens. I am addicted to doing everything I love to do; non-stop, all the time. I can’t wait to out do Myself every time I create; the faster the better. I have an infinite amount of questions that compound into an infinite amount of more questions but every question is mated to its answer. It’s like they are equally balanced at the same time. Questions and answers come into existence at the same time without warning, without reasons. I instantaneously know the status and outcome of everything I create instantaneously. I never grow tired of creating. I come alive, even though I never die, when I create. The more I create the more excited I become. I never run out of room to create. Nothing is overwhelming other than I love to overwhelm Myself with creating.

Enough of this, I must run to another place to see and feel my creative self again. This time I try to out run myself so that I can see if I’m missing something. Nothing. It’s me again. Aaaah! I am more peaceful than I was before. Let Me rest here. Let Me close My eyes. I will sleep here, this is a good place. As My eyes grow heavy I find Myself creating non-stop again. Is this rest? Is this being satisfied? Yes, because this is who I am. I am a creator.

I create to get more adrenaline rushes. I exploded inside with a tingling sensation every time I create. I don’t stop until I reach the end of My thoughts; just to get the satisfaction that I created something good, something that has
