Revelations

Revelations?

Lots of theologians believe that we are in the midst of what the Christian bible calls “Revelations,” referring to the last book of the New Testament. This book defines the end times of our human existence as we know it now, and gives us signs to know what to expect when these times are upon us.

During times like we are in when a perfect storm devastates major parts of our country, the Middle East war continues and Israel’s function in it is central, and there is a rise in drugs and gang related deaths, you’d have to wonder if we aren’t in some kind of AWAKENING, if not a time when some strong negative presence is looming over the world. 

Everything that goes on around us, including things like 9-11, draw all of us in to one single consciousness. We define ourselves differently because of it.

Tonight as I watched television, I could feel the sentiment and compassion of the world focusing it’s love and care on all the people in harm’s way. How important is it that we recognize this tremendous world power we have to come together and change the course of history? Can our prayers change the direction of a storm? Can our compassionate thoughts cumulatively pave pathways of safety for those we love?

You tell me. Why are you praying, if you don’t believe prayer has power? Why are you reaching out, if you don’t believe your thoughts and compassion can somehow relieve some of the pain that is going on? Or if you do believe, then how far does your belief go? Can you believe in a miracle in the midst of the chaos?

The truth is: “Where two or more are gathered, there I AM in their midst.” This is a quote from Jesus, who suggested that if one person prays, that’s wonderful. But when more than one prays for the same thing, their prayers exponentially multiple.

But what does a prayer do, actually?

By my definition, it is opening up communication spiritually with a higher source. If we all tap into that higher source (no matter what we choose to call it), can the will of that higher source be changed?
