Recently, WordPress notified me that John P. Smith, a fellow blogger, was now “following” at http://www.tgifmasterminds.com and that they would receive an email every time I published a post on “Conversations With God Using Scripture”.  WordPress also invited me to go see what they were up to.  So, I did!  I clicked onto Mr. Smith’s post entitled, “Accessing Your Spiritual Guidance”, and boy, oh boy was I truly blessed and enlightened.

John P. Smith just started following you at http://tgifmasterminds.com. They will receive an email every time you publish a post. Congratulations.

You might want to go see what they’re up to! Perhaps you will like their blog as much as they liked yours!    Accessing Your Spiritual Guidance 

******************************************************************************* Outlined below are the steps the Holy Spirit directed me to follow as I searched the scriptures to confirm without any doubt Mr. Smith’s theory on how a person’s intent frequency can positively or negatively access their spiritual guidance as he reported in his blog entitled “Accessing Your Spiritual Guidance”.  Quoted below is Mr. Smith’s thesis sentence:

“Our intent is the most powerful tool we have for raising our frequency. There are only two possible intents in any given moment: to learn with God/Spirit about loving yourself and others, or to protect against your pain and avoid responsibility for your feelings. When our intent is to protect and avoid we seek to control – through our various addictions – our feelings, others’ feelings and behavior, and the outcome of things. When our intent is to learn, we seek to take responsibility for our own feelings and behavior by discovering what we may be thinking or doing that is unloving to ourselves and others, and what would be loving.

Now the first exercise the Holy Spirited directed me to do was to get my Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and look up scriptures with the word “intent” in them. (Intent (n) means:  state of mind; purpose; volition.)

2 Samuel 17:14 – Here we read where Absalom, the heir-apparent and son of King David was bent on (intended) killing his father (King David), in order to usurp the throne and forcibly rule over the people of Jerusalem.  It was also Absalom’s intent to engage Ahithophel and receive his advice on the best way to annihilate King David.  Both men later died in their attempt to dispose of King David and the king’s life was spared.  John Smith writes that the initial spiritual truth that caused the deaths of the son and the adviser was this:  The spiritual realm exists at a higher frequency than we do here on the physical plane of Planet Earth.  And since neither Absalom nor Ahithophel accessed the spiritual realm and their intent was not to learn with God/Spirit, (received a divine revelation from on high) both men lost their lives.

 

2 Kings 10:1, 17, 19, 30 – In these verses we read where Jehu was on a mission for the Lord.  Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.  And when he (Jehu) came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the Lord, which he spake to Elijhah.  But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.  And the Lord said unto Jehu, “Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” KJV (Jehu’s intent was to learn and to take responsibility according to instructions from on high.)

Additional Scripture references of possessing a ‘good intent’ and/or to protect against pain and to control are listed here:  Biblical stories are found in 2 Chronicles 16; Ezekiel 40; Daniel 4; John 11, and 13; Acts 9 and 10; 1 Corinthians 10; Ephesians 3.

I wish to thank Mr. John P Smith, immensely, for writing his blog on How To Access Your Spiritual Guide.  I encourage everyone to read it in order to gain a deeper understanding of your motives when praying for others and wishing God’s blessing on them.  I am also of the opinion that through Mr. Smith’s revelations from God everyone will want to seek a more genuine relationship with our Lord and to converse with our Heavenly Father more often during our time here on earth.

Thank you once again John, for allowing me to expound on your writing.

Scripture Lesson:  “O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.  I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.  They looked unto him, and were lightened:  and their faces were not ashamed.  This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.  The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.  O taste and see that the Lord is good:  blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  O fear the Lord, ye his saints:  for there is no want to them that fear him.  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:  but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.  Come, ye children, hearken unto me:  I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.”  Psalm 34:3-13
