Genesis 1:2, with the spirit of God moving on the face of the waters, is an incredible statement when we stop to meditate on it. There’s an intimate and definite relationship between the immaterial and the material, the invisible (to the human eye) electrical impulses, and the visible letters. It will transform the INVISIBLE into VISIBLE characters, sounds, and images for you to see and hear. When you, on your computer, enter and open up this blog post, you connect to that server storage area, and it sends you an INVISIBLE electrical impulse that, via your computer or telephone and their programs. When I hit save, these same words transform into electrical impulses, transported and stored on some computer, somewhere in the world in the form of an electrical impulse. I’m writing the words of this blog post on a keyboard while simultaneously watching them on my monitor.
The spirit acts on the material this is the process of creation and transformation of the physical by the Spirit of God.ĭon’t ask me how the process works I have no idea. The Bible opens with a clear definition of both the spirit and physical environments and the relationship between the two.
Last week we discussed how God’s Spirit moved on the face of the waters this is the link or interconnection between the spiritual world of God (His Spirit) and the physical world (the waters) of humankind on Earth. To exercise His creative and transformative power, there has to be a juncture or intersection where they both meet. Spirit God created the physical universe and oversees it. The physical realm is everything to do with the universe. The SPIRIT realm is everything to do with God. Where is the conjuncture between the two? God (Spirit) created the universe (physical). Findings do not suggest that mindfulness, social desirability, and religion predict alcohol use in African-American college students.The spirit realm and the physical realm both exist. Findings suggest that those participants who reported being mindfully nonjudgmental also reported being more likely to be negatively reactive to their own thoughts. Participants who endorsed practicing some form of meditation also were found to have a higher degree of reported spirituality compared to those who reported not practicing meditation. reported being religious were more likely to have higher emotional intelligence and better verbal expressive abilities compared to participants who reported being nonreligious. Significant positive correlations were found between mindfulness and religion as well as between spirituality and meditative practices. This study examines the relationships between mindfulness, alcohol use, social desirability, daily spiritual experiences, and religion in African-American college students at an Historically Black College or University.
