Your Calling

YOUR CALLING

It seems that everyone is grieving over something these days. Loss of a loved one(s), a business loss, loss of a home, breakups, disappointments, broken promises, betrayals, the loss of hopes, dreams, visions… you get the point and it sucks! Some people just find it hard to cope with life because the grief is so heavy. Life has become intolerable because their heart aches, stress and nothing seems to mend, heal or help it in any way. Some have found a way to ignore it, basically throw a Band-Aid over it and push it aside but it’s still there haunting them on a constant basis while others just can’t seem to deal with the pain that is deeper than you can imagine.

I heard it once said that a dream is just a wish of the heart, but it’s much more than that. Others will say, it’s just a dream, find something else, your time will come, wait until it happens for me then I’ll open the doors for you or… how do you you’re called to do such a thing? First of all, let me that your destiny should NEVER depend of someone else’s success. If someone tells you that, it only means they want to make it before you and somewhere down the road, if you’re lucky, they might remember you and maybe, just MAYBE even help you,  but there are no guarantees.

How do you know when you’re called to do something specific in your life? It keeps calling you. You feel like you’re dying inside when you are not able and/or denied to do what you know/feel you’re called to do. Do you feel intense pain because you feel that dream is dead and gone? You feel a loss so great, that you can physically feel it break your heart in your chest.

There is actually a medical term for that and it’s called, “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy” is the medical term for a syndrome that can be caused by heartbreak, or more accurately, the stress of a heartbreaking situation. Emotional stress, positive or negative, can cause the left ventricle of the heart to be ‘stunned’ or paralyzed, causing heart attack-like symptoms including strong chest, arm or shoulder pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, loss of consciousness, nausea, panic attacks and vomiting.

The good news is that the condition doesn’t usually cause permanent damage like a heart attack does, and often resolves itself as long as things actually change for the better.  The bad news is that it can be stressful and painful, with people thinking they’re having an actual heart attack or a panic attack. Then, when heartbreak happens, these hormone levels drop and are replaced with the stress hormone called “Cortisol” which is a hormone designed to support your body’s fight-or-flight response, too much Cortisol over a period of time can contribute to panic attacks, anxiety, nausea, acne and weight gain and so much more– all those unpleasant mental and physical symptoms that comes with heartbreak. I’ve heard where it has been said, “They died of a broken Heart”. That is what they mean. It’s actually a medical term.

Remember that old saying, “you’ll heal with time?” It actually has some truth to it. Over time when the stress eases, things change for the better and you begin to calm down you will recover. You should expect your body systems to gradually return to normal. If you’re feeling like the stress, sadness or anger isn’t passing, if you’re having trouble getting back to life, or if you’re concerned in any way about how you’re feeling mentally or physically, it’s time to get some extra help.

When Nikola Tesla was a child his father told him he could not pursue science. Not long after being told that, Nikola became very ill to the point of being close to death. When his father told him he could pursue it, he recovered and went on to invent amazing things and you know the rest. Everyone has a purpose in this life and when it’s denied, stopped, blocked, derailed or hindered in anyway… something happens to a person. It doesn’t help when you have these narcissistic and/or cold, heartless or just inconsiderate people who will tell you, don’t worry about it, get over it, just find something else. Or there are people who will jump at the chance to take advantage of that bad situation. Trust me.. there are way too many of those type of people around. Way too many, but I digress!

Take a dog for example. Yes.. a dog!! Sometimes a dog will bark when they hear a noise, a car or someone around your place then a lot of barking and growling ensues. That excessive barking can get on someone’s nerves and they yell at the dog telling them to be quiet! After done enough times, the dog falls into a depression and ends up dying soon after. Why? Because even though the barking was annoying to you, that dog felt like they were doing what they were supposed to be doing which was alerting and protecting you, they felt as if they were living their life’s purpose. Just because they’re a dog doesn’t mean they don’t feel joy, love, fear, sadness or loss. When a dog feels like they lost their life purpose they end up drifting into a depression which leads to sickness then death. Many instances have proven when the dog able to do what they feel their life purpose is, they begin to regain their health. So how is it any different for us? Short answer… It’s not!

Sometimes when you’re called to something, all hell tries to stop you, as pathetic as it seems, its not only true but it’s a pretty good indication you’re on the right track and the very thing you’re denied is what your purpose is. Do you feel like there’s no hope so you put it off by trying to reason it in your mind that it “Must be God or the Universe telling me or It’s just not meant to be”.  Let me tell you what I’ve learned from my experience, if it keeps effecting you over and over and it doesn’t go away, it doesn’t ease up, die down, it keeps coming back, just as strong… that’s you’re calling. The pain doesn’t fade with time because you’re breathing, you have this yearning and desire within your entire being there is something you’re supposed to be doing with your life. Something specific like: writing, saving world hunger, being a doctor, nurse, a politician, a singer, songwriter, musician, an artist, a pilot, dancer, truck driver. you get my point.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something when every fiber of your being is telling you otherwise. Just because it’s hard or it’s a fight doesn’t mean you give up; it will be worth it in the end. There are way too many people who never achieved their goals, dreams, visions or aspirations who will tell YOU not to quit your day job and just forget the dream.

Stop, Breathe, Meditate.

If you’re wondering if it’s even worth the fight anymore then try this.. weigh out all the pro’s and con’s. How do you feel when you’re doing this specific thing? How do you feel when you’re not? How does it affect you mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually… when you’re doing it or not doing it. Weigh it all out. Do you feel free inside when you’re doing it and imprisoned inside when you’re not?

Visualize. Meditate.

When you sit, breathe, meditate on God and his word then begin to visualize in your imagination. Whether you realize it or not. to visualize is the correct way to pray. Jesus said in Mark 11:24 (KJV) “Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” What does he mean by that? You SEE IT DONE in your mind which is in your imagination as if it’s already happened. You can FEEL the guitar in your hands, you can FEEL your fingers on the strings, you Feel the electricity going between you and band and you the audience. Can you HEAR and SEE the crowd, can you HEAR the music in your imagination, you SMELL the air, you FEEL the heat of the stage lights on your face, you FEEL your feet on the stage? Go to sleep in that state. Then don’t worry about it. Just allow God to use the Universe to create situations in your life that brings it into existence.  Do worry about HOW or WHEN it will happen. It will happen at the right time and just know it is done!!!

If you’re wanting to get married, imagine a ring on your ring finger. FEEL the band on it. Is it Gold or Silver? How many diamonds are on the ring? Do you SEE it sparkle in the light? It’s the same thing.. FEELING, USING ALL YOUR SENSES is KEY! See it in your imagination as its actually happening. Don’t see it as if you’re watching you in a movie. In your imagination hold up your fingers as if you’re looking at the ring, just as you would in real life. That is considered a first-person view.

PROTECT your dreams, your vision!!! Some say to share it but I say to protect it! Keep it written on the tablets of your heart until what you’re visualizing is the reality in your life. There are way too many people out there who will sadly, come against it for various reasons. Whether something didn’t work in their life, jealousy, revenge or they’re just mean spirited, don’t give them a chance to ruin it.  When you’re living the vision, it is undeniable, they will see it and you won’t have to announce anything!

The human brain doesn’t know the difference between real life and imagination because the brain only knows as an ‘Experience”. Go to sleep each night and when you’re in that sleepy state visualize your desire until you get a message from God telling you it is done or you feel in your spirit, it is done. See it in your mind as if you’re experiencing it (1st person view) not as though your watching yourself in a movie, that is known as a 3rd person view.

Ephesians 3:20 states simply… “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US”

Meaning… Jesus Christ is WITHIN you!!! We are all part of the one consciousness in the creator of this great big Universe. If God is in you, that means you are in God. Your imagination IS GOD WORKING IN YOU!!! He is the vine; we are the branches.

The scripture says in John 16:24 “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” Why does he say that? He is not saying use your voice. He is saying use the imagination he has given you. See, experience and Feel it REAL in your imagination and believe it’s done and it will appear in your life. Even though your senses deny it while awake, believe it’s done.  No Joke!

Some people will say, that’s too easy, it’s only your imagination, remember…. faith without works is dead. To that I say, CORRECT!!!

When you use your imagination that is FAITH IN ACTION. Allow God to use the Universe and people to bring about events, circumstances and situations into your life and will lead you to your completed vision.

For an example: Let’s just say someone you know has sprained their ankle. You can sit quietly and, in your imagination, (also known as the secret place) you see they’re running, doing things they would normally do if they’re not hurt in your imagination, you tell them you’re glad they’re better and, in your imagination, they reply back to you by saying “I never felt better”. You do not need to announce to that person what you just did for them in your imagination. Just sit back and watch. Sometimes when you tell people you did this good thing for them, they’re inital reaction is to deny it so save them the trouble and keep it to yourself until they are healed. Remember… a house divided will not stand but when you join the two into one… it is done. Meaning When you join Thought and Emotion together in your mind, it’s done and you will experience it.

Let’s say you need a car but have no money, no collateral and you don’t know anyone. This is what you do… you sit quietly or just before falling asleep and you’re in the sleepy state, You see the car you want in your imagination. You feel the wheel in your hands, you see and smell the interior, the air freshener hanging from the mirror, you see your phone plugged in, you see yourself driving with the window down. You feel the wind go through your hair from the window or from the top, depending on the car you’re visualizing. You see the sun beaming down through the windshield and you can feel the warmth of the sun on your face and arms. You feel your hand turn the key, you feel your foot on the break, on the gas. How do you feel riding in that car? Do you feel the sun, the wind, the air conditioner, can hear music or smell the air? When you parked the car, did you feel your hand open the door, did you feel your foot step out of the car. Did you hear the car door close? Did you feel your hand hold the keychain alarm, feel your finger press the button, did you hear the alarm sound, did you see your lights flash when you did? Try it for 30 days and see what happens. You have nothing to lose.

When you see a child and they say, I’m going to be a doctor or a rock star and it happens in real life… this is why.

For the first 7 years of life a child’s brain is in what is called a “Theta” state. Meaning whatever they’re taught goes right into their subconscious and stays there. A lot of people will say, I prayed and believed but nothing happened, I did everything but no changes. That’s because your subconscious has been trained over the years to believe something else because of past experiences. So you have to bypass the conscious mind and go straight to the subconscious. Basically, you have to hack your brain. When people are almost asleep and in the sleepy state or undergoing hypnosis, the brain automatically goes into that Theta state meaning anything you’re thinking as you’re falling asleep or suggestions under hypnosis to in straight to your subconscious mind while bypassing the conscious state of mind which creates the doubt and uncertainty. If you go to YouTube and look up people like Neville Goddard, Brian Scott, Rev. Ike, you will see what I have done my best here to describe here. 

Jesus said in 3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

The bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue choose life! Choose blessing. In Romans 12:2 it states, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” and in

Philippians 4:8 it states “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.”

2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

There is so much more I can show you from both the bible and scientific point of views, but both say the same thing. As a man thinks, so he is. God has given you the ability to change your life for the better, pursue your calling, your destiny, your goals and fulfilling your dreams by transforming your thoughts, renewing your mind. Your biggest problem aren’t people, although they don’t help the situation, because of the signals your subconscious is unknowingly putting out, it’s also the doubts, thoughts, self-sabotage from your subconscious because of the experiences throughout your life, that is your biggest problem. Your conscious mind only Reinforces what it knows from the “experiences” in your subconscious mind. So, just bypass the conscious mind and retrain the subconscious with better experiences. There are many self-hypnosis videos out there. Listen to them, see if you find one that helps and if so, play it as you go to sleep. Neville Goddard says you can manifest a house as easily as you can manifest a button. It’s like a muscle, you have to work at it. Try small things and work your way up. The more you do, the stronger and faster things will happen. NEVER use what you’ve learned to hurt anyone. It will come back to you. Karma does exist and last by not least…Always give the Glory to God!!!!!

Stay safe, Stay Blessed!
