Spiritual & Personal Growth

Watch our introduction video for Spiritual Growth

Thanks for visiting the MA Spiritual Growth Pillar.

The purpose of exploring this pillar is to go in-depth to the problems with spiritual and personal growth. We will then discover solutions to those problems.

These solutions can result in true spiritual and personal growth for you and your family to achieve true spiritual mastery.

Below are examples of problems that MA can help you with by offering you some proposed solutions.

The most profound issues facing us as a society are rooted in our children’s lack of spiritual education! This is the one pillar that must be identified above all others that prioritizes our children. Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 19:14  KJV). The first of seven problems we’ll address is “A famine for the Words of God” (Amos 8:11 KJV). The Word of God is truth, therefore we must seek it out if we are to be a free people.

The second problem is that there is an incredible lack of understanding and wisdom when it comes to spiritual things. But we can tap into it if we are humble and teachable. Third, there is a real problem with relation to the afterlife. Most people roam through life with no known purpose and don’t comprehend the meaning of life and how to live by faith. Fourth, we have forgotten the true meaning of love. Division and strife are rampant, and unity and love for others are needed more than ever. Fifth, unrighteousness, dishonesty, and disrespect toward others are flooding through our world. Honor and reverence are confused with popularity and human praise. Sixth, there is little peace in the lives of people today because they rely on the counsel of men. Seventh, the world is plunged into chaos and is powerless to save itself. Only our eternal Creator has all power and authority! In order to enjoy true spiritual fulfillment and achieve spiritual mastery in every area of life, it is essential to learn and follow the seven step process. See Chart Below:

Our society has become more and more secular, and due to the government’s misinterpretation of the Constitution, the decision has been settled that there should be no Bibles allowed in schools. There will be no religious or spiritual studies of any kind because the government has stated that it violates the concept of the separation of church and state. The deeper problem here is that our children are deprived of the discipline of learning, in the most crucial area of their lives; of where to find the truth, and who or what is the source of all truth. As we reach adulthood we are left to our wandering in a spiritual desert!

Through collective engagement, we will make it possible for our children to attend schools that allow biblical teaching and enable them to learn the principles of truth therein. Adults will make a huge impact as they learn and teach true principles while leaving a legacy of examples that are based on the love of truth, honesty, and integrity. MA will always be the beckoning call for truth and freedom. Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free”.

As a nation, we have been spiraling on a spiritual decline for way too long. Our children have been deprived of the access they need for real spiritual growth. By not realizing the rewards and/or consequences of their choices based on walking in the ways of truth, they are unable to have the understanding they need to propel them in all of their studies. Their ignorance of God and who He is as a real being has a profoundly negative impact. As a result, our children are left to secular and worldly reasoning and unable to discern real differences in the principles of right and wrong. Unfortunately, this often disables the children from making wise choices both academically and spiritually!

MA will establish a place for significant potential growth in the area of spiritual reasoning and understanding of God’s ways. It will be possible for students and adults alike to grow spiritually, and come to a deeper understanding of all things spiritual, and to enhance their minds with a greater light and knowledge which will change lives. This will also give way to a greater depth of thought and discernibility with issues of right and wrong. The logical outcome will be to prosper both temporally and spiritually. MA is poised to provide the catalyst for accomplishing its mission through the collective engagement of its members along with the proprietary system we have implemented for disseminating ideas and new platforms for spiritual knowledge and growth.    

Because our ignorance of God has become so entrenched in our communities and schools, the people have no real chance for true success. As we grow to adulthood, our spiritual faculties become less sensitive and we fall away into our ways rather than the ways of God. We are weaker in our senses to the concept of grace, and that there truly is a God who loves us. We are stunted in our ability to live by faith because we have not surrendered ourselves to the one true God. The stunting of our spiritual growth many times affects negatively toward secular and/or academic growth. Not always does this occur, but when it does, secularism could most definitely become a terrifying replacement for spiritual growth. Jesus said, “What shall a man gain if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul”? “Lest a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of heaven”.

MA vows to be a guiding light to all who seek refuge and who desire to partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life. We are committed to the efforts of building a strong community of believers who can help carry out the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To fulfill the principles of grace and faith, we will be devoted to the idea of dedicating all of our resources, time, talents, and energies to kingdom living. When praying to the Father, Jesus said “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. God wants all of his children surrendered to him for them to reach their highest potential here on earth. 

The Bible says that in the end times, “When iniquity abounds, the love of many shall wax cold”. The people who lack spiritual development do not comprehend the great love that is possible when loving God and others. This problem exists on a massive scale. It has been said that we can abide in hope and faith and exhibit great things outwardly, but if we lack love, we have nothing.  There is a lack of unity in our families, in our communities, etc. We are plagued with divorce, hard-heartedness, unforgiveness, selfishness, and on and on! There is only division and strife and every evil, lurking around the corner, and those who have chosen such paths have reaped misery and doom. Our people are becoming more unthankful and more divided than ever before. We have abandoned God, therefore these things just continue to worsen! As it worsens we drift farther and farther from our God who is love.

True love is exemplified in obeying the truth and God’s commandments. Jesus once said, “If ye love me keep my commandments”. The personal relationship that is built by investing ourselves in knowing God, cannot be overstated. Indeed, we must first love God and then others, however, you cannot effectively have one without the other. The unity that MA brings to the table will enable its members to build and nurture healthy loving relationships with family, friends and strangers alike. It is our further commitment to extend the hand of fellowship and service to those less fortunate, such as the stranger, or feeding the hungry. MA will ensure to the best of its ability, to create a climate of warmth and unity so that the Lord may pour out spiritual blessings that will continually transform individuals, families, and communities and make them all heirs of God’s promise.

The principles of honesty, virtue, and integrity are gone out the window for those who lack spirituality. There is a real concern in our society today, that men and women who almost consider these characteristics as trite or insignificant. They may give lip service to it, but their hearts are not in it. The effects of lacking respect and honor toward others have led to widespread distrust and a large chasm of indifference among and between many different ethnic groups. Living without righteousness is dooming millions to chaos and judgment. Those dishonest agents who are maligning others and breaking oaths, contracts, and promises are facing dire consequences for such abhorrent conduct. Secret societies with ill intent have evolved and have become the cause of great catastrophes.

Minding the things of God and honoring him are the keys to the mastery of spiritual things. It is important to note that unity will quicken the renewal of our minds. MA’s platform for fostering growth in individuals, families, and communities, will be to build, by example, renewed excellence through honesty and integrity. MA’s platform will demonstrate many different values and characteristics to model after; qualities that engender trust, fortitude, reverence, honor, respect, righteousness, etc. All these things will be vitally important keys to the mastery over self and our enemies.

Divine purposes and plans along with personal development and goals are thwarted because there is a lack of preparedness and peace of mind for those who refuse to live uprightly and seek the counsel of an Almighty Creator. Without true peace and the counsel of God, outcomes can be very disappointing and our confidence marred. When we lack God’s peace we also lose all expectation of what is possible. In paraphrasing the bible it is said that “nothing shall be possible to those who do not believe”, or the person that wavers in belief, “he should not think that he shall receive anything from God”. The old saying that “there is no rest for the wicked” might be a funny saying to some, but as a matter of fact, this saying is very true because the wicked shall “have no rest” according to Revelation 14:11.

Personal development and spirituality is made possible when we prepare our hearts and minds. The fruit of righteous living leads to peace when we seek the counsel of God. We can expect a great reward when we focus on what is possible with the goal at large. We can avoid disappointments when our thoughts are aligned with the divine. Working hard while trusting God has always paid off! MA offers its members exclusive access to spiritual and personal development secrets. While this particular pillar is not monetized for the particular interests of the member who participates, it is monetized for the building up of God’s kingdom here on earth. MA vows to contribute all of its resources collected within this pillar to fund foreign and domestic missionary work, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the destitute, and delivering bibles to those starving spiritually.

We have no real vision for our futures, especially beyond this life. The Bible declares that “Where there is no vision, the people perish”. If a man abides not the law of man, of man he shall be cursed. If a man abides not the law of God, of God he shall be cursed. The people who have become corrupted have lost all inspiration from God because in their hearts they have denied him. There is no real power in our churches because we have allowed compromise and we’ve refused to “fight the good fight of faith”. We have lost our power because of our complacency and our lack of humility. Our stewardship has become ruined by our refusal to serve others. Our denial of all that is good and blessed has turned our eyes away from the light. By not recognizing and conquering the enemy within, we have lost our hope for dominion and righteous rule in our country.

MA will endeavor to build a strong community of caring for others. We will teach true principles to those who desire to be trained and discipled in God’s ways. The power of God will be evident among the truth seekers who exercise their faith and trust in God. MA will empower its members to spread the good word and to become ambassadors of discipleship themselves. When Jesus addressed the 7 churches in the Book of Revelation, he admonished all of them to be overcomers. It is only the overcomers who shall be rewarded in the end. Therefore, it would behoove his followers to heed his admonition. It is only in and through the righteous elect, that the power of God is manifested. MA will demonstrate a methodology to help elevate members to achieve a discipleship mastery program! This will do more for personal development than any secular method. However, there are always nuances that are interesting and there are secular teachings that are good because they are rooted in God’s word. MA, however, will not mince words on this subject. The value of spiritual knowledge cannot be overstated, and we must not compare it to any other. It has all of the resources needed to make all good things possible. MA’s mission and its goals may seem impossible to the world but yet they are amazingly possible through faith and the Word of God. The ultimate reward for our faith is the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of God the Father.
