~ The True Way to Repent. ~

 The word Repent is used in the Bible Many times, so it's obviously a Very Important thing to Do.

Yet Many people don't know what Repent actually means. 

From my own personal experience, it was a Long time into my Journey of Faith before I found out what it means.
I had read about it and heard it mentioned, but I didn't know what it actually meant.

Over the years I've come to realise that the word Repent has been given a 'Bad Name'. It's been made to seem like it's something Strange, and people have Dramatised it.
Many people have been 'Put Off' by these 'Lies & Manipulations'.

But the 'Truth' is, that 'Repenting' is one of the Best things You can Do, because the Outcome leads to 'Peace & Freedom', and Harmony with God. 

Basically the word 'Repent' means:

~ Stop Doing Whatever You're Doing that's 'Wrong',
~ Turn Away from it,
~ And Follow God's Right Way to Live.

It's Not Strange.   It's No Big Drama.   It's just Plain & Simple.

With that in Mind, Imagine You're looking down from above at a Path that runs horizontally across. 
It leads all the way to the Left as far as you can see and out of sight.
It also leads all the way to the Right as far as you can see and out of sight.
There's a 'Line' in the middle 'Separating' Left from Right.

The Left side of the Path represents 'the devils' Way to Live, which is often referred to in the Bible as 'the worlds way'. 
At the end of the Path to the Left is Hell.

 The Right side of the Path represents 'God's Way' to Live.
At the end of the Path to the Right is Heaven.

On the Path of Life, there is No 'In Between Ground'. 
There's Only 2 Ways to Live, either 'the devils way', or 'God's Way'. 

Imagine that the Path represents 'Your Life', and now Imagine Yourself 
'On the Path'. 

Be Truthful with Yourself :

~ Which Side of the Line are You on ?
~ And which Direction are You Heading ?

Pause for a moment and Think about that 'Honestly & Seriously'. 

~   ~   ~   ~   ~

There are some people who Believe in God & Jesus but they're Heading in the Wrong Direction. 
And some Believers are Living Their Lives on the 'devils side' of the Path.

There are many reasons for that. It could be because they're Doing something Wrong but Nobody has told them that it's Wrong in 'God's Eyes', so when they see 'Other People' Doing it, they Think it's ok for them to Do it.
Or it could be that they know what they're Doing is Wrong, but they Choose to 'Do It Anyway' just so they can 'Fit In' with people and be 'Liked' by 'people'.
Then there are people who 'Manipulate' Bible Verses to 'Suite Themselves' so they can 'Do Whatever They Want', even if it's Wrong. They say things like 'Some Bible Verses are not relevant in the modern world'. 
Well people have probably been saying that for Thousands of years.

But the 'Truth' is, that in 'God's Eyes' what's Right is Right, and what's Wrong is Wrong. And that will Never Change.
~ (Malachi 3:6) says, “For I am the Lord, I do Not Change”. 
~ (Hebrews 13:8) says, “Jesus is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever”. 

If God's Word says something is Wrong, then it's Wrong.
It will Never Change just because 'people' want it to Change.
It just means that those people are heading in the Wrong Direction on the Wrong side of the Path.

There are Many reasons why people end up on the Wrong side of the Path or  heading in the Wrong Direction.
Some is out of 'Personal Choice'. And some is because they have been 'Misled'.

But whatever the reason, the Important thing is to 'Repent'. 

God is so Loving, Graceful and Forgiving that if You 'Honestly & Sincerely' Repent, then He will 'Welcome' You back onto the 'Right Side' of the Path.

God knows who the 'Fakes' are, but He also knows the 'Genuine' Believers who have 'Gone Astray'. 
Repent, and feel God's Love in Ways that You've never felt before.

Jesus will be 'With You' Every Step of 'Your Journey'. He will Guide You and He will Fill You with the Power of the Holy Spirit.

But He will Never 'Force' Any of this on You. 
You need to be Willing to Accept His 'Guidance & Power'.

Jesus wants what's 'Best for You'. 
He knows that the Best thing for You to Do is to get as 'Far Away' from the 'devils side' of the Path as You can, and as 'Quickly' as You can.

There are many people who have Repented, but they 'Linger' around near the 'Dividing Line' of the Path.
The devil can then Easily 'Lure' them back onto 'his side'. 

That's what happened to me at the beginning of my 'Journey with Jesus'. 

 When I started my Journey over 20 years ago, I made a 'Choice' that I wanted to become a 'Decent Person'. 
I knew that meant 'Stopping' the Wrong things I was Doing, and Start Following 'God's Way'. 
I Did Do that. 
But I wasn't Aware at that point of the 'Mighty Power' that was Available to me from the Holy Spirit that would Enable me to take 'Giant Leaps of Faith' to 
'Get Away' from the devils 'Lure'. 

So I 'Tentatively' took 'Little Steps' towards 'God's Way'. 
I was Heading in the 'Right Direction', but because I wasn't putting my 'Complete Trust' in God, then the devil was able to 'Lure' me back with his 'Lies & Trickery' through 'Other People'. 
I Wrongly continued to Believe 'people' about 'How to Live my Life', and I felt that I would 'Miss Out' on things if I Fully 'Let Go' of my 'Old Lifestyle'.

Even though I was Heading in 'God's Direction', I Regularly 'Looked Back'. 
I now realise that was the 'Biggest Mistake' I made.
Every time I 'Looked Back', the devil had the 'Opportunity' to 'Lure' me back again.

There are many different ways that people 'Look Back' after they've Repented.
One of the worst ways is by 'Thinking' about the Wrong thing that You 'Used' to do, or 'Thinking' about the people who had a 'Wrong' Influence on You.
Every time You 'Think' about Your 'Past' that's Connected to a 'Wrong' Way of Living, it's like Opening a Door in Your Mind to the devil, and he will take Any Opportunity You 'Give' him to 'Trick' You back onto 'his side' of the Path.

Another way that people 'Look Back' is by Continuing to spend time with the 'Wrong' people or staying in Contact with them.
Those people will Continue to 'Lure' You back onto the 'devils side' of the Path.

Both of those ways led me back onto the 'Wrong' side of the Path many times.
But since I realised these things and since I Discovered the 'Mighty Power' of the Holy Spirit that Jesus Gave me, I No longer 'Waste' my time or energy 'Thinking' about my Past or spending time & contact with 'Wrong' people.

I Made a Firm Decision Many Years ago to 'Get Rid' of 'worldly ways' Out of my Life, and to 'Only' Believe God about 'Who I Am' and 'How to Live my Life'. 
That Firm Decision has led to 'Real Freedom' in my Life, and Opened the door to 'God's Plan for My Life'. 

I Honestly Don't 'Miss' Anything at All from my 'Old Lifestyle', and I 'Truly' mean that.
I've Lived Life on the 'devils side' of the Path, and I'm now Living on 
'God's Side'. 
I can 'Wholeheartedly say that:

“Life with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit 
is Everything You could Ever Dream of, and Much More”. 

My Guidance to You about Repenting is:

~ Believe God's Word in the Bible & His Guidance to You Personally about what is Right & Wrong. Don't look to 'people' for Answers, because too many people have got Corrupted Views.

~ If there's something You are Doing that's Wrong in 'God's Way' of Living, then 'Stop' Immediately. Don't put it off till tomorrow, the devil will have 'Tricked' You again by tomorrow.

~ Make a 'Sincere' Commitment to 'Turn Away' from the 'Wrong' Lifestyle. Remember, God knows who the Fakes are, but He Gives Power to the Genuine.

~ Now that You're Facing the Right Direction towards God,
 Don't 'Look Back'.
Stay Focused on God. 
There's Nothing 'Behind You' that's worth risking 'Missing Out' on 
what God has got Planned Ahead of You.

~ Be Open & Willing to Accept the Guidance of Jesus, and the 'Mighty Power' of the Holy Spirit. 

~ Use that Power to take the Biggest 'Leaps of Faith' you can take to get as 'Far Away' from 'the devils' side of the Path as You can. 
   * That could be Staying Away from certain people.
   * It could be Deleting Apps off Your phone.
   * It might be 'Getting Rid' of certain things that Remind You of Your Past.
   * It could be Deleting All Your 'social media' accounts.
   * It might mean Not watching certain programs.
   * A Great 'Leap of Faith' is to 'Only' Believe 'God's Word' and Not 'people'.
   * It could Simply be Saying 'No' to the 'worlds ways'. 
          The Bible says in (James 4:4) “If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God”.   ~ It's Your Choice.

Whatever You Do, Do Something that's Personal & Helpful to You so You can 'Get Away' from the 'Lure' of the devil. 
The Bible says: “Resist the devil and he will Flee from You”, (James 4:7). 

The Closer You get to God, the further Away from the devil You will be.

Remember,  Jesus is 'With You Always'. 
If You've got any doubts, Give them to Jesus, and put 
Your 'Complete Trust' in Him. He will Never let You down.

Jesus knows the Power that's 'In You', and He knows what 
You are Capable of.  He Lovingly says to You,

“You Can Do It”. 

Enjoy Your 'Journey with Jesus' along the Path of Life.

And Enjoy the Wonderful Blessings 
that God has got Planned for You 
when You Repent, and Never Look Back.

~ Spiritual Gifts Given ~ worldly sins Forgiven. ~

 While Jesus was Physically on earth, He said to the Disciples that after He Rises from death He would 'Send a Helper' in the form of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was True to His Word.

About 50 days after He Rose, the Disciples were gathered together.

'Suddenly there came a Sound from Heaven, as of a rushing Mighty wind', (Acts 2:2). 
It wasn't an actual blowing wind, it was a Sound 'Like a Mighty wind'. 

'Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of Fire, 
and sat upon each of them'. (Acts 2:3). 

At that point a Truly Wonderful thing happened.

'They were All Filled with the Holy Spirit'. (Acts 2:4). 

It wasn't just a Little Bit of the Holy Spirit, they were 'Filled' with the 
Holy Spirit. 
This is what's known as Pentecost. 

This 'Mighty Power' sent from Jesus gave them the 'Wonderful Gift' to 'Do' what Jesus had Previously asked them to 'Do', ~ “Go into All the world and Preach the Gospel to Every Creature”, (Mark 16:15). 

'They began to Speak in Other tongues (Languages) 
as the Spirit gave to them'. Acts 2:4). 

The Bible says at that time there were people from 'Every Nation under Heaven' staying in Jerusalem, and when the Sound of the Mighty wind happened, they All came together where the Disciples were.

The people all spoke in Different Languages, but 'Everyone Heard' the Disciples Speaking in 'Their Own Language'. (Acts 2:5-6). 

The people were All 'Amazed' and said, 
“How can we All hear in Our Own Language”. (Acts 2:7-8). 

That's the Power of the 'Holy Spirit', He will Give You Wonderful Gifts to 'Do' Amazing things.

The Disciples 'Stood Up' and Peter 'Immediately' started to Preach the 'Gospel of Jesus' and saying Scripture to the people. He didn't Waste any time. He was 'Given a Gift' and he put it to Good Use 'Straight Away'. 
It was probably Peters way of 'Showing' Jesus how 'Grateful' he was for 'Saving his Soul', and 'Setting him Free' from the Traps of the 'world'. 

While Peter was Boldly talking about Jesus, the people asked, 
“What shall we do”?
Peter replied,
“Repent, and let Every one of You be Baptised in the name of  Jesus Christ for the Forgiveness of sins, and You Shall Receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit”, (Acts 2:37-38). 

Then in that one day, about 3,000 people were Baptised and their 'Souls Saved'.
WOW. That's the Amazing Power of the Holy Spirit.

That Power is Available to You.

It Doesn't mean You will have to Preach and Baptise 3,000 people. And it Doesn't mean You will have to Speak in different tongues (Languages). 

The Powerful Gifts of the Holy Spirit will be 'Unique & Individual' to You Personally, to Help You Achieve God's Purpose & Plan for Your Life.

He will also Give You Power to be 'Set Free' from the 'Lies & Corruption' of the 'world' so You don't get 'Tricked', (Acts 2:40).    

The devil is Fully Aware of the Power of the Holy Spirit and the Amazing things that can be Achieved through God's people when they're Filled with the Holy Spirit. So the devil has been Using 'his followers' to try to 'Scare' people away from wanting to 'Welcome' the Holy Spirit into their Lives.

Throughout my 'Journey of Faith', I've Seen, Heard, and Read Lots of False Teachings, Manipulations of Bible Verses, and Corrupted Views of what it means to Welcome the Holy Spirit into Your Life, and about what the Spiritual Gifts actually mean. 

These 'Wrong Teachings' have either 'Pushed' people Away from God, or they've given Many True Believers a 'False Understanding' of what it means, which has led Many Believers into trying to 'Do' certain things that God has 'Not' asked them to 'Do'. 

The Truth though is in God's Word and His Guidance.

Before I started to write this writing, I asked God to 'Guide' me.
His Guidance was, “Stay Focused on Me”. 

That's the Guidance I give to You ~ 'Stay Focused on God'. 

There's Lots of 'Lies' being Spread around about the Holy Spirit & His Spiritual Gifts. The Only Way to know the Truth, is from the 'Source' of the Holy Spirit, which is God & Jesus.

Let God & Jesus Guide You through God's Word, and more Importantly by having a 'Direct' Personal Relationship with them. 
They will let You know the Truth.

If You have ever been Told that You can't receive the Holy Spirit or His Gifts, that's a 'Lie'. The Bible says:
“For the promise is for You, and to All who are afar off, 
as Many as the Lord our God will call”, (Acts 2:39). 

The Holy Spirit and His Gifts are obviously Not Scary, because the Bible doesn't say that the Disciples were Scared when they were 'Filled with the Holy Spirit'. And it doesn't say that Any of the people were Scared when they Heard the Disciples Speaking in 'Their Own Language'. It says that the were 'Amazed'. 

When You Believe God's True Word, and Not what people 'Say' about God's Word, then You will have Peace.

There's a Beautiful Bible Verse that says.
“Repent, that Your sins may be Blotted Out, so that times of Refreshing
may come from the Presence of the Lord”, (Acts 3:19). 

When You Welcome the Holy Spirit into Your Heart, Mind & Soul, it's 
Very Refreshing.
He 'Washes' You Clean of the 'Rubbish' that's been 'Holding You Back', and Refreshes 'Your Life' with Peace, Love, Joy, and the Amazing Power of the Holy Spirit.

How do You Welcome the Holy Spirit ?

God's Word says,

“Repent, and let Every one of You be Baptised
 in the name of Jesus Christ for the Forgiveness of sins, 
and You Shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit”.

~ Limited View. ~

 Every person on earth has got a 'Limited View' of their 'Own Life', and of 'Other Peoples Lives'.

We can only 'See' what we 'See', 'Hear' what we 'Hear', and 'Know' what we 'Know'. 

Our 'Physical View' as well as our 'Understanding View' have got 'Limitations'. 

We can't 'See' what Other People are Doing 'All The Time', or 'know' what they're 'Thinking & Planning'. 
And we don't 'Know' All the Details of 'God's Plan for Our Own Lives'. 

These 'Limitations' are what the devil 'Cunningly' Uses to 'Trick' people into Believing the 'Wrong Ways of Living'. 

The devil will Use Your 'Limited View' to try to 'Trick' You to Believe 'Lies' about 'Who You Are'. 
He will Use 'his followers' to 'Lie' to You to Prevent You from Believing in Yourself as the 'Wonderful Person' who God Created You To Be.

The devil knows that God Created You in 'His Own Image', which means You have the 'Power In You' to Defeat the devil.
So the devil will either try to 'put you down' so You don't Believe in Your 'Power', or he will try to 'Distract' You from Doing the 'Will Of God' by 'Luring' You away with 'worldly ways'. These 'worldly ways' might 'Seem' like they're Fun and that there's nothing wrong with them, but they are a  'Set Up' by the devil to keep You 'Away From God'. 

The devil will also Use 'Your Limitations' to try to 'Manipulate' You to Believe 'Wrong Things' about 'Other People'. 
He will try to 'Trick' You to Think 'Good things about Bad people', and to Think 'Bad things about Good people'.
He does that to try to get You to Listen to the 'Wrong People'.   


Many people have been 'Tricked' into Thinking it's ok to Treat other people like Dirt, just because somebody Told them to. 
That's 'NOT' true. 
The Bible says “Be Kind to one another, Tenderhearted, Forgiving one another, as God Forgave you in Christ”, (Ephesians 4:32). 

The devil has also 'Tricked' many people into Believing that they can 'Treat' Nature 'However they want'. 
People cut down 'Healthy Life Giving Trees' just because they're not 'Native' or because they don't like the look of them. People spray Chemical weed-killer on God's  'Wild Flowers' just because they 'Grow' where the 'person' doesn't want them to 'Grow'. And people 'Mistreat & Kill' Wild Animals just because 'people' don't want them to 'Live' where the Animals are 'Living'. 
But these are All 'God's Creations'.

The devil has used 'his followers' to Mislead people by 'Manipulating' the Bible verse that says God has given People 'Dominion' over all of God's Creations.

'Dominion' does 'NOT' mean You can 'Do Whatever You Want' to Nature.
The 'worlds' version of 'Dominion' is to 'Control & Rule'.
But God's meaning of 'Dominion' is that God is 'Trusting' Everyone with the Responsibility of 'Looking After' and 'Caring For' His Creations.
That is a True Blessing to be 'Trusted' by God. Don't Abuse that Trust.

The devil has been 'Tricking' people for Thousands of years in All areas of Life.

The worst 'Lie' of all that he has 'Misled' people with by Using Peoples 
'Limited View' is the 'Lies' about God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit.
The devil has Used 'his followers' (who are sometimes Disguised as Believers) to 'Mislead' people into Believing 'Wrong' things about God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit, and 'Wrong Teachings' about How to Follow them. 

Unfortunately over many years, there have been many 'True Believers' who have been 'Misled' by the devils 'Cunning & Crafty' Tactics. 

I 'Fully Admit' that I 'Fell' for many of them over the years.

But over the passed few years, God has been Revealing to me more & more ways of 'How' the devil had 'Tricked' me, and 'How' he is Still 'Tricking' many other people now. 

Some of the 'Lies' that the devil has got people Believing is that God is a Strict, Bossy, Dictator. That Jesus was just another Prophet. And that the Holy Spirit is some type of Scary Ghost.

Thankfully I have 'Never' Believed Any of these, but I know that many people do Believe it.

Throughout my 'Journey of Faith' for over 20 years, I've spent a Lot of 'Quality Time' with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. My Personal Relationship with them is Closer than it has Ever been.
And I can Assure You that No Matter what Anybody says, God is 'NOT' Strict, Bossy or a Dictator. He is Extremely Patient, Loving, Gentle, and He simply wants what's 'Best for You'.
Jesus was 'NOT' just another Prophet, He 'Is' the Son of God, He 'Did' Rise from death, and He 'Is' Alive sitting at the Right Hand of God, as well as Living in the Hearts of True Believers.
The Holy Spirit is 'NOT' a Scary Ghost, there's Nothing Scary about Him. He is the Wonderful Helper who Jesus Sent to us to Communicate with 'Our Own Spirit', to 'Lead' us in the 'Truth', and to remind us of the Wonderful Teachings of Jesus, which is the 'True Way' to Live our Lives.

Many people say they Struggle to Believe these things because they haven't got 'Proof & Evidence'. Well if they can Believe the 'Lies' without having Any 'Proof & Evidence', then they can Believe the 'Truth'. 
It' simply a Choice of 'Who' do You Believe, 'people' or 'God'. 
I Choose to Believe God.

People have got the Ability to 'Lie'. 
But  “It is Impossible for God to lie”, (Hebrews 6:18).

So because we are Human, we have a 'Limited View' of Life.
God knew that, so He sent His Son as a Human to Show us How to Live 'Our Lives'. While Jesus was 'Physically' on earth, He was 'Fully Human', which meant at that time He also had the same 'Limited View' that we have got.

Jesus Experienced the same things that we do. People 'Lied' to Him. People tried to 'Trick' Him and set 'Traps' for Him. The devil himself tried to 'Tempt' Him.

But Jesus 'NEVER' Fell for for Any of it.

How did He do that when He was a Human like You & me ?

Because He was 'Always' in Communication with Someone who could 'See' Everything that the people and the devil were doing to try to 'Trick' Him.

That Someone was God.

Even though at that time Jesus only had a 'Limited View', God had 
'Unlimited Views' of Everything.
God 'Sees, Hears & Knows' Everything.

God knew Every 'Scheming & Manipulative' plans that the people where plotting to 'Trick' Jesus. God knew Every 'Lie' that they told. And God knew that the devil would try to 'Tempt' Jesus.

Jesus 'Trusted' and 'Believed' that the Only person who had 'Unlimited Views' and knows Everything is God.

So Jesus 'Wisely' spent 'Quality Quiet Time' With God on a Regular basis.
Jesus would Very often go into the Countryside and Mountains 'by Himself' to 'Pray & Listen' to God's Guidance.

And because God is Loving, Gentle and wants what is Best for His Son, then He 'Guided' Jesus with Everything He needed to know so that He Didn't Fall for the 'Lies & Trickery'.  
Jesus was able to 'See Through' the 'Cunning Tactics' of the people and the devil because God had 'Revealed' them to Him.

And God wants to do the Same for You & me.  

He wants to 'Lovingly Guide' us so we don't get 'Tricked & Misled' anymore by the 'Lies & Corruption' of the devil and 'his followers'.

We have a 'Limited View' of Who the 'devils followers' are.
Some of them are Obvious, but Many are in Disguise of many forms.
The Only Way to know for Definite who they are, is to have a 'Direct' Relationship with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit.

Because Jesus Lived on earth, He knows what it Feels like to be 'Lied' to by people, and 'Tempted' by the devil. 
Jesus wants to Help You so that You don't Fall into the 'Traps'. 
Or if You have already been 'Trapped', He wants to 'Set You Free'.

When Jesus Ascended into Heaven, He sat down at the Right Hand of God, and God gave Him 'All Authority over Everything'. That means that Jesus has got 'Unlimited Views' of 'Our Lives' and 'Other People Lives'. 
Jesus can 'See' what we can't 'See'. He 'Hears' what we can't 'Hear'. And He 'Knows' what we don't 'Know'. 

So it's Very Important Not to Rely on 'Your Own' Understanding of Your Life, because it might be Wrong.
And Don't Rely on 'Other Peoples' Views of 'Who You Are' and 'How to Live Your Life', because they might be Wrong.
Yes it's Good to sometimes ask others for Guidance, but Don't Rely on it.

There's Only 'One Way' to know the 'Truth'. 
Jesus is the 'Way', the 'Truth', and the 'Life',  (John 14:6).

When You Follow His 'Way', He Leads You in 'Truth',
so You can Live a Wonderful, Free & Enjoyable 'Life'. 

When You put Your Trust & Belief in Jesus & His 'Unlimited View',
You Will Enjoy God's Wonderful Plan for You.

~ Keep Your Faith Supple with 'Swir-etch-iggles' . ~

What does  'Swir-etch-iggles'  mean ?  Good question, I'll explain in a bit.

What does 'Supple' mean ? Another Good question.
Basically, Supple means to keep something Flexible so that it doesn't 'Stiffen Up' or 'Seize Up', and to keep it 'Freely Moving'.  

An example is keeping your Muscles & Joints Supple so they don't 'Stiffen Up' and become Tight.
I Learned the Importance of this over 20 years ago when I used to do quite a bit of physical training. I Learned that it's Helpful to your Overall Fitness to do Regular Stretching and Low Impact Movements to keep your Muscles & Joints 'Free Moving' & 'Flexible', and therefore keeping them 'Supple'. 

This also Helps towards keeping your Mind Supple so you can Think Better and more Clearly.
A Good Stretch can Release tension in your muscles and Help you feel more Relaxed.

For Many years now (as far back as I can remember) since I Learned the Importance of Keeping Supple, I've been doing Stretches Every Day.
It's Not Yoga or anything like that, it's just different Stretches & Movements that I've found Helps keep my body Supple.

I start with 'Swirling' my arms round in circles, followed by my wrists.
Then Gently 'Stretch' my neck side to side and left to right.
After that I put my hands together behind my back and Gently bend forward, lifting my hands up as high as I can to 'Stretch' my shoulders, arms & back, Gently standing up and shaking my arms.
Next I slowly twist side to side with my arms out to 'Stretch' my lower back & stomach.

Onto my legs I bend forward with my arms pointing to the floor to 'Stretch' the back of my legs.
A few Gentle squats help 'Stretch' my thighs, and then into the lunge position to Gently 'Stretch' my calves & hamstring.
'Swirling' my feet round and round helps to keep my feet loose.
And finishing off by shaking my arms & legs to loosen them up, and then the Fun bit, 'Jiggling' all my body from my legs up to my arms, like a Bird does when its feathers are wet and it 'Jiggles' all over to shake the water off.

This leaves my body feeling Refreshed, Supple & Free Moving.

I do this Every Day when I get up, and before I go to bed, as well as a few bits throughout the day.
It's not something that's a Strict Routine. I know I don't 'Have' to do it. 
But I 'Choose' to do it because it Helps me.

There have been times when I haven't done it for a while, and at first it feels ok, but after a bit I notice my muscles & joints starting to 'Stiffen Up' a bit. So I prefer to do it Every Day as it's much Better to keep it up.

I Don't view it as a Chore. I 'Enjoy' it, especially the 'Jiggling'. 

So, as I wrote at the beginning I'd explain what 'Swir-etch-iggle' means, 

Swirls ~ Stretches ~ Jiggles  =  'Swir-etch-iggles'. 

Just as we need to keep our bodies 'Supple', we also need to keep our Faith 'Supple', so that it doesn't 'Stiffen Up' or worse 'Seize Up'.

How do You do that ?

~ 'Swir-etch-iggle'  Your Faith ~ 

   Do something Every Day to Keep Your Faith 'Supple'.
Don't let Your Faith become Rigid & Stiff. Be Flexible & Open to God.

Too many people have become 'Set in Their Ways' and they're Missing Out on a Joyful Life, as well as not Fulfilling their Part in God's MasterPlan.

The people in the Bible who Achieved Great Things for God where the people who were 'Adaptable' to God's Guidance. They kept Their Faith 'Supple'. 
They spent Time With God Every Day, they Listened to Him, Trusted Him, and Believed Him. And they put His Guidance into 'Action'. 

Find Ways that work Well for 'You' that will Help keep Your Faith 'Supple'. 
Your Faith is Personal to 'You' so you need to find what works 'Best for You'. 

But make sure You keep it 'Enjoyable'. 
Too many people have let their Faith become 'Dull & Boring'. And when other people 'See' it, then they're Not Inspired by it, so they 'Turn Away' from God.

The Truth is, there's Nothing 'Dull & Boring' about God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. They Created 'Joy'. The Fruit of the Spirit is 'Joy'.  

Jesus says to You, “I have come to give You Life, and More Abundantly 
so that Your Life Overflows with Joy”. 
The Holy Spirit is Your Helper to 'Lead You' in the Truth so 
You can be Free & Enjoy Your Life.
And God is Your Creator, who wants to Enjoy a Loving Relationship with You, and Guide You so You can 'Be The Person Who He Created You To Be'. 

So Enjoy Your Faith and Keep it Supple.

Swirl it ~ Stretch it ~ Jiggle it

~ 'Swir-etch-iggle'  Your Faith ~
