Understanding the levels of spirituality is like going to school, first you start with kindergarten, elementary, high school, all the way to university. It is also like life which is about age and the different stages. God who created the entire world and every human being and things in it, good and bad; right and wrong and the many faiths(belief), there’s really only one (the existence of God and our relationship with him) and it takes wisdom, knowledge and understanding to get it. “What?” you maybe thinking! As for all you devout religious people, God forbid, cause you know for sure your was according to your belief is the right and only way according to your books that are written. Especially our brother Jews, Christians and Muslims. You Christians(to be Jesus like) you are the last on the religious level and before you get all crazy remember your book declares the last shall be first and the first last (Matthew 20:16). You are last because of Jesus being the answer to all the hidden mysteries of God and his salvation for humanity. You are at the university level when you can comprehend Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Mohammad are all one coming from one.

Before books(word of God like the Bible) was written God existed. How did we know God existed? It is written within in the heart and mind as a yearning in the soul. Some people were born knowing the existence God throughout the ages before documentation existed. Sin has drawn humanity so far from God that it took God all kind of creative ways to draw man back to him. That’s where levels came into play. And the levels passes from generation to generations. The first level began with all humanity who’d believed in God even though there way of beliefs and practices of worship differs from what one another would consider normal or right way of, it’s still faith in God. Jesus said faith small as a mustard see can move mountains Matthew 7:20. Aĺl different paths, but it all leads to one God a way of connecting to the divine, not visible. When God can’t be tangible, imagination runs wild, like a child’s to fulfill.

Judge not, that you be not judged(Matthew 7:1-3) Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? This is to all the Christians of different denomination that criticizes and hate on one another. What level are you on to be like that. We blame God for sin still being in the world when we ourselves with all the lesson documented for us to reference and learn, it is our choices and stubbornness that has us remaining in sin.

If all things work together for good Romans 8:28 Think of this for a moment, good and bad exists for a reason. Remember it says “All things,” no exceptions. Genesis 50:20 Joseph said to his brother, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, saving of many lives.” Joseph had to suffered bad to accomplish good and for him to even acknowledge it, we know what level he’s on. We should imitate him.

There’s no strengthen and weakness when comes to spiritual level, just purpose and destiny. There’s yearning of faith and trust in God we must be able to walk in, like all men and woman in the Bible called by God, beginning with Noah. Moses has proven this fact by not knowing anything about the God of Abraham even to who he truly was, not an Egyptian Prince, but a slave chosen by God to set his people free from bondage.

What level are you on when you could forgive others, love your neighbors as yourself, do good and be good at all cost, to stand in the righteousness of God even when persecuted?

Lets begin with Sarah, Abraham’s wife who believed she was too old to have a child and laughed when the angel came and told her husband Abraham she was going have a baby, a son in her old age. Genesis 18:6-15 The story of Sarah always depicts her as woman that was inpatient to wait on God to have a child and like Eve in the garden of Eden she give her husband a bite of a forbidden fruit her servant an Egyptian to sleep with and conceive. Abraham took Sarah servant Hagar as she had requested, slept with her and she conceived, which brought about sadness and turmoil for both Sarah and Abraham. Hagar conception made Sarah felt belittled and she blamed Abraham when it was her idea to take Hagar her servant to have a child, so they fought, and Hagar ran away pregnant, Genesis 16.

Even with everything bad happening surrounding the situation of Sarah infertility, we can see that both Sarah and Abraham loves each other very much. Sarah made a sacrifice of selfless love for her husband to give him a child, but the cost was more than what she can bare. No woman back then or now in this present day would be emotionally okay with the husband they love sleeping with another woman having a child. There are certain things we are just not willing to share, so we can see in her actions her love for Abraham. And Abraham obedience to his wife was not about getting with a younger woman to sleep with, but maybe a hope of an answered prayer that the woman he loved came up with such an idea to give him an hier, it must be God he probably thought. God never told Abraham the nation will come through his wife , but rather through him, so he was willing to recieve his promise, Genesis 15:1-5. All that had happened to Sarah and Abraham was nothing but the devil you’d think, his temptation and deception. God is omniscient, he already had a plan to deliver them from their situation, because He new of the strong bond and love those two had for each other. When Hagar ran away she met with an angel that told her to go back to her mistress Sarah, and submit to her, Genesis 16:7-9. We know for sure Abraham loved Sarah very much because he told Sarah to do whatever she want to Hagar, the mother who’s carrying his first and maybe his only promised child. What if her intent was to kill Hagar to ease her pain of being despised by her, Genesis 16:5-6 If he loved Hagar he would of tried to protect her from Sarah wrath.

Sarah wasn’t moving the hands of God or lacking in faith. It was logical for her to see the impossibility of her now passed menopausal that she was not going to conceive. God understood her suffering and desperation to bring about his purpose for their lives. We can’t get it confuse when it said, “wait on the Lord” because it doesn’t necessarily means do nothing and the blessing will fall from the sky. Sometimes it’s in our actions that God sits back and watches as we try hard to be obedient and do His will, that He will bless our efforts in faith.

Let’s talk about Job wife. Job 2:8-10 “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!” Is she not going through a mental break down or is this a possession by the devil disguised as mental illness? Look at what caused Job’s wife to snap, Job 2:7-8 Job lost everything and now he’s about to lose his health. Job’s body was afflicted with painful sores from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet and he took a piece of broken pottery and started to scrape himself with it as he sat among the ashes. When I visualize Job sitting among the ashes according to the NIV Bible I could see why his wife snapped cause it’s like your house caught on fire and everything, children, animals, servants all burned to the ground and all Sarah could see is the hopelessness shecfeels within herself reflecting in her husband who’s sitting in the ashes of the burned house picking through everything like if he could find something of value to hold on to. Her spirit crying out why God, why did this had to happen? In anger and frustration instead of yelling and sreaming out her pain and dispair to God she attacks what looks like Job hopelessness in not being able to do anything about the situation. Maybe Job faith was what brought them out of many things and now for the first time nothing it seems he could do is working to fix it. If Job’s wife was faithless and didn’t love him there was no way he could of have it so good and has been chosen by God for such a task. His wife also who was faithfull and love God and Job very much who had pure heart and mind, lost everything else she loved, why then the one and only thing she had left she would want dead. Was her statement about Job or herself? After all flesh of her flesh and bones of her bones they both are as husband and wife. She wanted to die and wished for it, because for the first time in her life with everything going on she lost faith cause things had gotten so bad. Could it had been that she was the weaker in faith?

When we get married we become one flesh, that when Job flesh was touched in his infirmities right away it hit his wife as if his flesh (body) was to cry out to him,”can’t you see I am in pain, do what you must to release me from this pain, even if it means to die.” Was his wife actions crying out to him in desperation. This is connected only through the pure and righteous love you have for one another that comes from God. I believe the devil couldn’t do anything to Job wife, her love for him was the weapon. The devil also was trying to use Job’s love for God to hurt him. When Job spoke these words to his wife in her bitter anguish, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?” Job 2:10. To me I understand Job spoke as though she should of known better and she was not being her true self, “snap out of this, you know God, this is not like you.” This is one of the greatest lesson in how to be angry and sin not.

Love can be a battle field, and for the sake of love there should never be a villain only a lover as these saints has shown us.

So the Bible declares “thou shalt not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14. Adultery, to me means lacking the ability to be committed truthfully and honestly in an intimated relationship, easily distracted and tempted to give up on being one with whom you specifically promised to be faithful and true to. It’s like being naked and totally exposed to a multitude of people, when you’re reserved to be seen only by one person. As Christians we are told to love everyone and some people take it to the extreme with sex. Fornication synonym for adultery is sex and all about sex. Adultry cut the cord of marriage by stripping the moral values on which it is built. We are not to be lead so easliy by temptation, resist the devil.

Nothing in this life is forever because at one point in time things decay, get broken, fall apart, and as a living being there are illnesses, growing old, or getting accidently hurt, and death is inevitably. Being in love is no different it doesn’t last not the way it started off for many. We can never say we’ve fallen in love by accident, now can we? Because at the time it’s real or so we believe. When we, lust, get infatuated and have a crush on someone, all these emotions clouds your mind to the reality of what true love is all about. In this life if you do find true love, both partners have to be great warriors to stand and maintain that love no matter what. What is true love? True love or real love as it is called in today’s complexed world it depends on the person. But according to the Bible 1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love I kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it s not proud. It is not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails

Genesis 2:24,(As interpreted) That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Come on now, this is not God speaking a prophetic word talking about leaving mother and father God is the father and mother to Adam and Eve after all they are first people. It look like someone just threw that in there to make a valuable foundation on which a marriage stands. The word marriage is no where written in the Bible, in the beginning with Adam and Eve in the garden when God created them. Mark10:7-9. Why did God allowed polygamy? 2 Samuel 12:8 say that God gave David wives. Genesis 2:24 God intented for one man and one woman to be married to each other for a life time. Matthew 19:8 Divorce is allowed because of the hardness of the heart of man.

Polygamy was abolished by God I believe because of David, David the man after God’s own heart who killed a man for his wife whom he’d got pregnant (2 Samuel 11). I believe back in those days people could marry, be with whosoever you wish or was given in marriage. Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Esau, Solomon and Elkanah just to name a few in the Bible that had more than one wife. But David whom God loves because he also loved and trusted God not only did he committed adultery against Uriah, he broke the bond between him and God by him breaking not one but a few of the Ten commandments when God had provided him with everything he could ever want. David became like another Adam. Even though he had such an intimate relationship with God, and God give him everything, like the eating of the apple his disobedience cost him to fall though he was so blessed that it affected everything he loves. Adam wasn’t hungry he need not to have eaten the apple. God warned him of the consequences and the Lord had provided his every needs and wants like He did David’s there was no need for his sin.

Not everyone has a specific calling on their lives by God to do mighty things through Him and when you’re like that, now He puts a hedge of protection around you because of David and Adam so that devil can no longer get to you without His permission like Job 1:6-10. We are now also taught to resist the devil and he will leave you alone (James 4:7)

Lesson to be learned about adultery, if you can’t be committed truthfully and honestly to the one you proclaim to love and cherish to whom you can see and touch, how then can you be committed to God?” God wants us to stand strong in the little things in which He blesses us with so we stand mighty in the big things He has prepared for us (Luke 16:10) “Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much.” God was for Adam, his help mete, but in the spirit. Adam wanted someone more like himself cause God wasn’t enough, so God granted him his desire and look what happened. But God is still good and faithful, cause after all we are still here, the great fold with Noah, He didn’t give up on humanity and today some still can’t get it. When we proclaim we are Christian, we have to be like Jesus. To be seen and our actions has to be that of Christ himself. “God calls us to a higher standard of living!”
