Can destiny be changed?


Destiny can be changed.

Our activities form our destiny. Our activities include our thoughts words and deeds. Each of these are seeds that we plant every moment and they are nurtured through the workings of the Laws of creation such that at a definite time we will have to reap what we have sown earlier on as seeds. As an example, a person who nurtures envy in a relationship may not expect to reap happiness from that interaction. On the other hand acts of kindness will bring us a harvest of peace. So, we can only expect results that are similar to the earlier seed. The Law that brings these about is the Law of Sowing and Reaping, the Law of Reciprocal Action. This Law speaks of the Justice and Love of the Creator and makes man the architect of his own fate or destiny.

Therefore, what a man burdens himself with can only be redeemed by none other than himself alone. Before there will ever be a change to this, the Law of Sowing and Reaping will have to be amended but this will never happen! What then is the way out especially for many who have spent more time sowing seeds that can only bring them multiple harvests of bitter fruits? Repentance and the firm volition for what is good will lead to redemption! First of all, a complete inner change has the effect of putting a stop to the unwholesome habit of acquiring further debts. He can then begin his upward journey.

As he goes along, he must engage only in planting good seeds which is a sure way of attracting help to strengthen him in his new way of life. He and even we can make a start here by keeping our thoughts pure. A huge task but the rewards are that we will reap peace and be happy. It will lead to pure words and deeds which in turn will lead to bountiful harvest of forgiveness of our past negative actions. The result or harvest of our past activities will come no doubt due to the effect of the Law of Sowing and Reaping but the sustained resolve to be good also forms a formidable covering and protection for us that prevents the onrushing reciprocal action from having full effect or any effect at all depending on the level of the inner change. This is the way to obtaining forgiveness and attaining to a change of destiny! It goes without saying also that a person who has initially set out on the right road can through willful change to a wrong course alter his destiny negatively.

Let us always give thanks to the Author of the Laws that makes it possible for us to judge and also redeem ourselves.

How true is it to say "with God all things are possible"?


The Almighty is Omnipotent! He is the Source of all Power. This Power created all Creation, maintains, sustains, heals and develops it. In addition, the Lord God is Omnipresent and Omniscient.

The all powerful and ever living God in His Power and Wisdom also created the Laws that maintains His Creation. These Laws are the expression of His Will. He speaks and manifests to His creatures through these Laws which are perfect and do not change! Because these Laws do not change all Acts of the Almighty always corresponds to earlier Acts. There is no arbitrariness in everything that proceeds from the Lord.

Some believers think that the Almighty can do everything and that with His omnipotence He can act arbitrarily. This is not so. Arbitrariness is an attribute of humans who in their weakness and foolishness try to show off their abilities in this way. The Lord is however perfect and His Laws are the same yesterday, today and forever.They do not change. So the Lord will not for example go contrary to His Laws,or do anything impure, unjust or act out of hatred.

God is Love, Just and Holy!
