Believing in Religion Dear Brother Ron Why should I believe in any religion at all? Might the spirit realm only be a figment of our imaginations. Charmed Dear Charmed Whether you choose to follow a particular religious denomination is entirely irrelevant. The important thing is to get in touch with the Spirit of the living God within you. Religion is merely the outward expression of an inner spirituality. Once you find that inner peace and strength, you may find others with a similar relationship to God and may wish to join with them in worship and service to our Father. Religion does serve some useful purposes. For one thing, those of similar faith can learn from each other and grow in wisdom and understanding. For another, when several believers join together to focus their spiritual energy on a particular situation, it has a synergistic effect of multiplying the psychic energies many times over. And finally, if you are interested in helping others, chirches are by far the most efficient way to distribute aid (assuming you don't get roped into some sect that believes the way to serve God is buying a fleet of limos for the minister). The sprit realm is very real. Once you tap into the power of God within you, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Best always Brother Ron |
