As you awaken spiritually it is important to see who is coming to your spiritual table. It is important to make sure the people coming to your spiritual table have your best interest in mind and will be of service and value to you. Many times in our human existence we allow people to come to our spiritual table that are toxic and thus they contaminate the entire table with their negative energy.
When you hear the words brace for impact it normally conjures up the image that something bad is about to happen. How many of you when your read the headline thought oh no here comes a bad story? Well I am here to tell you that this is not a bad story but a story about personal, professional, and spiritual growth. I chose the title as a result of reviewing videos of me announcing sporting events, emcee charitable events, interview people for a TV Show that I used to host, and some speeches I delivered. I was reflecting and then began to read comments and began to understand the impact that I have been making by being of service and value to others. Despite some setbacks over the years I have been able to move forward and positively impact the lives of others. Though I may not have gotten recognition for this impact I know in my heart that I took the proper action to show people that service to humanity is the best work of life.
Spiritual Awakening: Spiritual Enticement And Seduction!!!
Can I interest you in a dose of Spirituality? This is not a question that usually entices many people nor does it lead to seduction so the question is how do we find a better way to bring people onto a spiritual path so that they can maximize their potential and evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. We begin by filling ourselves with the love of GOD and we share it with others because love is thicker than water and love is the answer.
When we do things with great love we open up channels to receive and thus we become more able to entice people and seduce people with the sharing of spirituality. It is when we show love that we receive love. Today (4/16/2019) I went to see Bishop Johnson to help in with his business and also to record some spot for Changing Your Life Ministries and I was rewarded with a plethora of bread. In becoming an action taker coming from a position of love I have experienced first hand the love of GOD manifested in the form of money, food, shelter, and clothing. It is when we put love in our heart and understand that this is the day the lord hath made and it is our responsibility be glad and rejoice in it that we attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our life. It is when we let go and let GOD that we get more and enticed and seduced into being positive in our effort to be of service and value to others.
When you are in the spiritual awakening process it is a lot like being in a boxing match. Your opponents may be demons from the past, challenges in your current situation, fear, and anxiety. As you begin to fight to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams you need to evaluate who is on your corner. Ask yourself if the people in your corner are lifting you up. If you find lifters keep them in your corner. If you find there are some that are bringing you down remove them and let them go so you can clear your path to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As many of those who read this blog on a regular basis know I have had a bit of darkness in my life over the last 9 months. In those last 9 months I have found who is in my corner and who I can count on. I have had a few people come forward and help me by visiting www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more or by meeting me in person to give me some support. I have had a few people send me checks. I am grateful to have these people in my corner. In the toughest of times you find out who really has your back and who want to help you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
In evaluating who is in your corner you will be able to weed out those who no longer serve you so that you can move along on your path toward spiritual enlightenment. In my corner I have GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, The Angels, and a few really good people that come through for me. When things get really challenging I turn to GOD and seek guidance. Once GOD’S message is delivered I take action to act upon it so that can move forward in a positive direction of my goals and dreams. If I feel beat up I go to the best cut man I know Jesus and seek his guidance and support remembering that all things are possible through Jesus who strengthens me.
When GOD is in your corner and you heed his messages you will see that you have an easier time in taking action to become more and more aware and awake. In listening to GOD’S messages you begin to find your calling so that you can affect change in your life and in your community. As you listen to your top trainer, GOD, you will find yourself coming alive so that you detach from expectations and outcomes and focus on being of service and value to others. As you become more and more focused, centered, and grounded you will find your dreams manifesting for you are connected to GOD. As you continue to have GOD in your corner you will find yourself finishing projects and creating a good space for yourself so that you can continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
As I was in a great deal of pain today due to my diabetic nephropathy and other medical conditions I asked GOD to lift me and guide me as it has been a trying time in my life. GOD gave me the strength to go to The American Cancer Society Office to drop of money that I have raised for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I was going to go home and rest however GOD directed me to Starbucks to work on posting www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo and to send messages. In following GOD’S directions I was able to secure $60 in donations which gets me that much closer to making a mortgage payment. As I continued to share the link I realized that It is GOD who gives us the mighty wings to soar to the greatness that is our birthright. It is GOD who will bring us to challenges and it is GOD who will bring us through challenges. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that GOD will not give us anything that we can not handle and he will put people in place who will lift us and who will help us to soar on Mighty Wings. I have come to learn that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me and that when you are connected to Christ you will be able to overcome all the challenges that you are facing in your life. Sometimes things may seem dark and it may seem as though our mighty wings are being clipped. It is at those times that you must turn back to the scriptures and become centered, focused, and balanced by taking action to continue your relationship with GOD. It is when we feel blocked that we must trust the process and press on for GOD’S Plan for us is far greater than the plan we have for ourselves. In awakening you gain the mighty wings that will allow you to soar to great heights in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you seek GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will find that you receive the answers to the questions that you are asking. In allowing GOD to give you mighty wings you will show your grace and see that grace wins.
As I left an interview with a staffing agency today (3/22/2019) I began to think how important it is to radiate and vibrate at a higher level of consciousness so as to tap into our inner divinity and create our best life. As I went out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I was reminded to vibrate at the highest level possible and detach from the outcome. As a result of being centered, balanced, and focused I was able to resonate with my message and had people donate and be kind. It may have helped that I was dressed in a suit and I looked like an executive which reinforced my belief that when you look good and feel good you can do good. It may have been that I felt a special connection with GOD today and GOD was allowing me to get higher. In staying connected to GOD and taking action you begin to function at a higher level of consciousness thus allowing you to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is said the better your attitude the higher your altitude. It is now time for you to soar higher than you have soared before by getting higher in your mind, body, soul connection. As you get higher it is important to feast on the fruits of spirit.
As I continue to evolve spiritually and become more and more aware and awake I understand that it takes all types of people to help you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Today (3/20/2019) I had to take care of some banking and as I walked into TD Bank I was greeted with a nice welcome and the lady behind me commented on how nice it is to have some pleasant people in the world. We began to talk and I told her about how I was seeking employment and she took my card. This set the tone for the rest of the day as I went out to promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. As I was out collecting donations and promoting Relay For Life I encountered some nice people and not so nice people. I fully understand that I am coming into someone’s office or place of business unannounced however it doesn’t take a big effort to be nice. I have come to realize that some people are not going to vibrate at a high level thus they won’t understand the laws of reciprocity and other teachings that can bring them to a higher level. Sometimes we miss out on opportunities to make a spiritual connection and to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives because we get so caught up in ourselves that we don’t take the time to listen to others and see how we can be of service and value to one another. So many times we put our defenses up and start to make excuses that we miss out on a chance to enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
I have come to understand that when I walk into an office or place of business where I am not known that I will be treated in a strange way by some and a nice way by others for everyone will not resonate with me message. It is amazing to me how many people are quick to judge or throw up roadblocks and those same people then wonder why things are not as good as they can be for them. I have found that those who are open and come from a position of gratitude manifest peace, love, joy, and prosperity in their lives. I have come to learn that sometimes it is better to simply understand that it takes all types and that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. I have realized that sometimes in pushing your views it is like wrestling a pig in the mud as you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it so know that there comes a time to walk way and realize that trying to make your point is not going to serve you and is taking time from you to meet someone who will resonate with your message.
As I encounter those who are quick to judge and give off negative energy I simply hold a place for them knowing that one day they will be ready to get on the path and connect with inner divinity and understand that GOD Loves A Cheerful Giver. Through the spiritual awakening process I have seen that there are action takers and excuse makers. Which one will you be. In the last 9 months since my DAD passed I have seen the generosity of others and the stinginess of some. As a result I am grateful for those who have come forward to help. I currently have a campaign at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more. One donor wrote that she wished it could be more. I wrote back and thanked her for helping. In showing gratitude I am opening more doors to receive and to move forward in a positive direction of my dreams.
As I was looking for something to close out this entry this song was delivered to me by the universe. As I listened to the lyrics I began to grasp the idea that it takes all sorts to make our world a better place. It was when I reflected about the encounters I had today (3/20/19) that I realized that GOD puts some difficult people on your path to teach you the lessons that you need at the time. Namaste!!!
As I write this it has been 8 months since the passing of my DAD and I am struggling financially as I have not had steady work for nearly a year. I have worked some announcing gigs and have managed as I had a savings account but I have depleted that and now find myself at a crossroads. I have found my spiritually being tested and at times have wanted to quit but I knew I had to keep on moving as there are people who will help me by visiting www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 and making a love donation. I am trying many things to get into a better financial position however it seems as though just when things seem to be improving a set back occurs. This was the case on Sunday 3/10/2019 when I was on my way to an awards banquet and my car was run into by a pedestrian and when I asked if he wanted me to call EMS he ran away. My car now has a nice dent in it and I don’t have the money to fix it. I have had 3 months with virtually no income so I turned to GOD and asked for his guidance. I received the message to keep on moving and that people will be presented to help you. Ideally finding people to use my services as a PA Announcer, Emcee, and Voice Over Talent would be be great. I have been applying for many jobs as I have a very diverse skill set that GOD has given to me. I started to look back on all that has happened and I have realized that if I am to prosper I need to take action and continue to move forward in a positive direction toward my goals.
As tough as things seem as I deal with high blood pressure, hypertension, Type II Diabetes, a sports hernia, and the stress of not know where my next dollar will come from I take solace in knowing that GOD only gives you what GOD thinks you can handle. With all that is happening in my personal, professional, and spiritual life I am heeding the message from GOD to keep moving. I have come to understand that I need to get back to the pillars of spirituality and come from a position of gratitude. I need to become a man in motion and be driven by the messages from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels.
I have come to realize that I need to surround myself with action takers who will lift me up and help me in my time of need. I have come to understand that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. In asking for help by posting on social media I am hoping that people will see my pleas for help and write a check or money order payable to Jonathan Lederman and send it to 9141 Sunrise Lakes Boulevard #102, Sunrise, FL 33322. I thank all those who have already helped. It is time to lay it on the line and keep moving. I am grateful for those who have reached out and checked on me as I am having a tough time. I have begun to put myself out there and share my challenges in hopes that people will see me moving and going forward and be inspired and empowered to continue to move forward in their personal, professional, and spiritual life.
As I look back over the last 7 years and all I have faced I have come to understand that I must be focused and balanced so that I can move forward. It is scary to face the fact that you may loose everything but sometimes in loosing everything you gain more of what GOD has intended for you and your life becomes better because you kept on moving forward. I have tried things that I thought would be financially successful only to find that I need to change the way I approach projects and how I share with others if I am to move forward.
It is time to move forward and praise GOD by being grateful for what I have and not wanting what I don’t have. It is my hope that I will break the shackles that have been blocking me from being in a better financial position so that I can move forward while being of service and value to others. I share my story of challenge so that others will see that they are not alone and that there is help to allow you to move forward and create a better life for yourself. Namaste!!!
I have attended many seminars where the presenters have talked about thinking outside the box and I though what if you had no box and simply did what your divine guidance system instructed you to do? When you are creative and you tap into your inner divinity you begin to make a connection to GOD that will propel you to the greatness which is your birthright. When you head the messages from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will be able to eliminate the box. In experiencing a spiritual awakening you will be guided to utilize your talents to be of service and value to others thus improving your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Yesterday (2/21/2019) I was the emcee at The Broward County Chamber Of Commerce Business Expo and as I was pulling the winners of the chance drawings from the vendors a vendor said the person that won hasn’t come to my table and I am leaving. I said you should call the winner and set up a time to meet to give them their prize this way you can see how you can be of service and value to each other. The vendor said oh that is a good idea. I left the table and thought wow many of the business people here need to eliminate the box and think greater picture.
Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Eliminate The Box!!!
In thinking creative and taking action on your idea will lead to success. It may take a while for others to fully wrap their head around it as they have been doing things a certain way for so long that they are not ready to eliminate the box. In October of 2018 I ran Strike Out Cancer Day with The Sunrise Sharks Travel Baseball Team and I thought how can I take this idea to the next level. About a week ago I sent a tweet to The Miami Marlins about making one of their games a Strike Out Cancer Day and I heard back from them. I spoke to a Miami Marlins representative today (2/22/2019) and gave him some ideas and he liked them and will present them to the decision makers and we will go from there. In being creative and sharing a concept you can achieve greater success and eliminate the box.
Reading a variety of books and implementing the teachings from these books will help you to eliminate the box. One of my favorite books is Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements. I have found by reading and rereading this book that I am better equipped to eliminate the box.
Music is a fantastic way to eliminate the box as it can set a mood for more creativity that will lead to more implementations of ideas thus allowing you to make a mind, body, soul connection that will show you that passion + action = success.
Block out the negativity that is creating blockages in your life and simply understand that when thing seem the darkest you are the verge of a breakthrough that will allow you to step into the light and eliminate the box that has been holding you back from fulfilling your full potential. I have come to understand that many things that we perceive as bad are going to occur but all we can do is eliminate the box and look for the lesson that is being given to us and the positives that are coming our way.
Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’s Gift to Help You Eliminate The Box!!!
Today (2/22/2019) I give you this gift of meditation so that you can release that which no longer serves you so that you will be able to eliminate the box. Namaste!!!
In life when you experience a spiritual awakening you are given an opportunity to let go of the past and to start over. Sometimes it just takes a chance to begin a routine again to find your rhythm and create the positive energy to vibrate at a higher level so as to improve your personal, professional, and personal life. In many cases it is simply observing a situation and looking at the energy level and seeing if that vibration is positive or negative. Today (2/20/2019) I went to The Dunkin Donuts on Sunset Strip and Nob Hill Road in Sunrise, FL and from the time I sat down all I observed was the employees complaining and one employee nearly getting into a fight. I sat with my earbuds on focusing on writing this entry and creating my own sacred space so that I could give the reader a positive entry. I had started to write a different article but then I decided to start over and take the article in a different direction as spirit was guiding me to write about the importance of starting over.
It is when we realize that we can begin again from right where we are that we start to attract more peace, love, joy, and abundance into our lives. It is when we let go and let GOD that we can start over and remove that which no longer serves us so that we can be of better service and value to others. In starting over we come to understand that it is only the beginning of a spiritual journey that will take us to places that we never imagined.
I sat in reflection this morning (2/20/2019) and realized that I was dwelling so much on the past and worrying so much about the future that I wasn’t living in the moment. As I came to the realization that it was time to remember that today is the day the lord hath made and to be glad and rejoice in it I decided to simply start over and allow things to flow as GOD has intended. As I followed GOD directions and acted upon GOD’S Messages I found myself vibrating at a higher level and blocking out the negativity. I came to learn that I can control my actions and not the actions of others and that sometimes it is just necessary to step back take a deep breath and start over. In starting out each day with a clear set of intentions and removing that which no longer serves me I have been able to move forward and start over.
In starting over it is imperative to let go and Let GOD. In following GOD’S message you can start over and become stronger than what you were before. In taking things moment by moment you can make a divine connection that will allow you to start over at any time in any place where you may be. It is time to tap into your inner guidance system and let GOD guide you in your quest to start over. Namaste!!!
