The Concentration Of Spiritual Energy

"… save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Galatians 6:14

If you want to know the energy of God (i.e., the resurrection life of Jesus) in your mortal flesh, you must brood on the tragedy of God. Cut yourself off from prying personal interest in your own spiritual symptoms and consider bare-spirited the tragedy of God, and instantly the energy of God will be in you. "Look unto Me," pay attention to the objective Source and the subjective energy will be there. We lose power if we do not concentrate on the right thing. The effect of the Cross is salvation, sanctification, healing, etc., but we are not to preach any of these, we are to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The proclaiming of Jesus will do its own work. Concentrate on God's centre in your preaching, and though your crowd may apparently pay no attention, they can never be the same again. If I talk my own talk, it is of no more importance to you than your talk is to me; but if I talk the truth of God, you will meet it again and so will I. We have to concentrate on the great point of spiritual energy - the Cross, to keep in contact with that centre where all the power lies, and the energy will be let loose. In holiness movements and spiritual experience meetings the concentration is apt to be put not on the Cross of Christ, but on the effects of the Cross.

The feebleness of the churches is being criticized to-day, and the criticism is justified. One reason for the feebleness is that there has not been this concentration of spiritual energy; we have not brooded enough on the tragedy of Calvary or on the meaning of Redemption.

Prayer for Salvation

"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

DO NOT EDIT THE FORMULA PAGES !

DO NOT EDIT THE FORMULA PAGES !
EDITING FORMULA PAGES WILL CAUSE THE FORMULAS TO BE DESTROYED AND NO LONGER USABLE !
Until these 7 steps become second nature to you, it would be helpful and a good idea, to copy or print out this instructions page, so you can follow along step by step.
Also, a helpful hint, it is best to make your first or bottom page, and your last or top page, so they are solid non animated pages, so you can easily read your typed messages, and your photos will be more easily seen ! Take your time and experiment, until you get it down ! Creating backgrounds is loads of fun, once you learn how !
Each Photo album is either done by color or by topic, and with each album, there is a message board for you to post your completed creations and materpieces ! Please keep the albums and message boards organized, so they will be user friendly for all !
1 - 7 STEP BY STEP HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS
1) TO USE FORMULAS, TO CREATE NEW BACKGROUNDS WITH, COPY THE ENTIRE FORMULA YOU WANT TO USE
2) THEN EDIT ONE OF THE COMMUNITY PRACTICE PAGES, THEN ONCE PAGE IS FULLY DOWNLOADED, CLICK ON BOX NEXT TO WHERE IT SAYS "USE PLAIN TEXT EDITOR",
3) THEN ALLOW THE PAGE TO FULLY DOWNLOAD AGAIN, THEN PASTE FORMULA TO COMMUNITY PRACTICE PAGE,
4) THEN FILL IN THE PROPER AREAS WITH THE "URL CODES",
( TO GET URL CODES, RIGHT CLICK ON THE PICTURE OR BACKGROUND, YOU WANT TO USE, THEN CLICK PROPERTIES, THEN HIGHLIGHT COMPLETE URL CODE, AND CLICK COPY , THEN PASTE URL CODE TO IT'S PROPER PLACES),
5) THEN CLICK ON BOX NEXT TO "USE PLAIN TEXT EDITOR" WAIT FOR COMPLETED NEW BACKGROUND TO FULLY DOWNLOAD,
6) THEN COPY THE NEW BACKGROUND, THEN POST IT TO THE SPECIFIC BG MESSAGE BOARD WHERE IT GOES,
7) THEN COME BACK TO THE COMMUNITY PRACTICE PAGE YOU USED TO CREATE YOUR NEW BACKGROUND WITH, AND DELETE THE BACKGROUND YOU CREATED, SO THE PRACTICE PAGES CAN BE USED BY ALL, OVER AND OVER AGAIN !

TO CREATE AN INSERT BOX FOR YOUR BACKGROUNDS !
1) GO TO THE WEB PAGE CALLED, "BG_FORMULAS_1" THEN COPY THE CODE FOR THE DOUBLE LAYER. CREATE THE INSERT BOX WITH THE SAME COLORS AS YOUR BACKGROUND PAGE, OR COLORS THAT WILL COMPLIMENT THE BACKGROUND PAGE. FOLLOW THE SAME 7 STEPS AS WHEN CREATING A BACKGROUND. ONCE YOU CREATE AN INSERT BOX, POST IT TO THE PROPER MESSAGE BOARD THAT IS FOR THAT COLOR OF BACKGROUND, THIS WAY OTHERS MAY GO BACK AND RE-USE THE INSERT BOX YOU CREATED. AN INSERT BOX IS MERELY A DOUBLE LAYERED BACKGROUND, INSERTED INTO ANOTHER BACKGROUND, SO THE INSERT BOX IS AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BACKGROUND PAGE. FIRT CREATE YOUR BACKGROUND PAGE USING ONE OF THE COMMUNITY PRACTICE PAGES, THEN USING A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY BACKGROUND PAGE, CRETE YOUR INSERT MESSAGE BOX. THEN COPY YOUR MESSAGE INSERT BOX AND PASTE IT INSIDE YOUR BACKGROUND. THEN POST YOUR INSERT INTO THE PLACE PROVIDED FOR BG INSERTS AND POST YOUR BACKGROUND OR BG INTO THE PLACE PROVIDED FOR IT. THEN GO BACK AND DELETE THESE FROM THE COMMUNITY PRACTICE PAGES, SO THEY CAN BE RE-USED BY OTHERS.

THE MORE YOU COMPLETE THESE 7 STEPS, THE EASIER IT WILL BECOME, UNTIL IT BECOMES SECOND NATURE TO YOU. HAVE FUN BEING CREATIVE, AS WE USE OUR CREATIVITY, TO BRING HONOR AND GLORY TO OUR CREATOR, AND HIS CHILDREN !
