    The Greatest Secret HOW TO LIVE

    P r e f a c e

    Vould there be anything more precious to youthan your very life itself?

    AND IF SO, would you know how to live your life from

    its beginning when you commenced to be conscious of its

    priceless value and true worth?

    From that point forwards, as you move on, everyday, to

    your fixed goal and to the fulfillment of your hopes, your

    dreams, your aspirations HOW WOULD YOU LIVE?

    How would your dream come true

    IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DREAM?So that heart-tugging song and lyrics rings thru the

    decades since it was sung in that box-office hit of the

    1960s movie: SOUTH PACIFIC of Rodgers and

    Hammerstein. On a rerun in New Yorks Broadway, circa

    June 16, 2008, it has won 5 awards. The actress who

    played the main role exclaimed: It is a dream come true!

    So do you have a dream?

    Would your knowing how to live enable you to have your

    dream come true?

    Ah, you would hitch your wagon to a star! So goes the

    motto that was taught to be the mantra of young kids

    growing up in the grade schools.

    And the many hitched their wagons to their stars. Where

    are they now?

    Would you intimately know?

    And have you hitched your wagon to a star, too?

    Now then, have a dream.

    And hitch your wagon to a star.

    They will be the twin power drives of your life and being.

    And when you do dream, have a right and true,

    wonderful, attainable, reachable dream.

    So that when you come awake, in the real world, you can

    live the promise and wonder of your dream.

    The first thing you must do: translate your dream into a

    feasible, reachable fixed goal.

    And so hitch your lifes wagon to a star.

    For life is a journey. And even as you are earthbound, you

    may rightly hitch your wagon to a star.

    And when you do, that star must be a bright, shining,

    enduring, everlasting star.

    Yes, Virginia, and yes, Francisco, you can have a true

    dream,

    AND IT IS YOUR MAKERS DREAM FOR YOU.

    And the Star is true, real, and never changing.

    AND HE IS CALLED THE BRIGHT AND

    MORNING STAR.

    He is ever present. Everlasting. Eternal. Forevermore.

    THE PAGES THAT FOLLOW ARE THE MEAT,

    SUBSTANCE, AND ESSENCE OF THE WORDS

    SPOKEN BY, AND FROM, THE MORNING STAR.

    AND THOSE WORDS SPOKEN BY HIM ARE

    SPIRIT. AND THEY ARE LIFE.

    To learn a new language, it is pronounced by those in the

    know, and who mentor others how to speak a new

    language, or tongue, one must immerse oneself.

    To learn of the depths of true knowledge, you follow the

    same principle, for it is correct and true.

    Immerse yourself in the Words spoken by The Bright and

    Morning Star.

    Drink of them. Feed on them. Daily. Without fail.

    Meditate on them. Live by them. Then you will liveSpirit-filled and Spirit-led. And be truly alive.

    Is there any other way?

    There is no other way.

    THIS IS THE ONLY ONE TRUE AND PERFECT

    WAY.

    WALK YOU ON IT. LIVE YOU IN IT.

    Then you will have your dream come true.

    Your Lifes Foremost Agendaand Top Priority Daily

    YYYYou are on a lifelong journey.ou are on a lifelong journey.ou are on a lifelong journey.ou are on a lifelong journey. A journey towards,

    and ultimately, into GOD. Along with the entire

    human race. Everyone, without exception.

    Moment by moment that you draw breath, you

    move onwards, forwards, guided by a fixed

    bearing on your lifes personal compass.

    Some were foreordained to arrive first, to fulfill

    the ultimate purpose of God for mankind. They

    are called the firstfruits.

    12/61

    Others will arrive according to Gods timetable.

    The very incorrigible evil few will be aborted

    from their journey, their walk invalidated.

    The Eternal Creator GOD, your Maker, has set

    your bearing fixed towards Him. Just what

    exactly is that bearing?

    GOD Himself spelled it out. He has defined it for

    you. You therefore can not miss:

    YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD

    WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITHALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL

    YOUR MIND.

    You are here on earth, to dedicate, and consecrate, your

    whole

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    13/61

    13

    life and being in the love and service of GOD who

    inhabit

    eternity, The Great God who created the

    whole, expandng, vast Universe.

    How are you going to perform that?

    GOD Himself showed the perfect method. The exact

    unfailing

    Way. He defined it in FOUR WAYS.

    I. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODSI. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODSI. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODSI. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS

    BEFORE ME.BEFORE ME.BEFORE ME.BEFORE ME.

    Your whole focused attention is towards GOD yourCreator and Maker.

    Other attractions will try to distract you. Divert you.

    Draw you out of

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    14/61

    14

    the line. Your fixed determination will prevent you from

    doing so.

    You must understand: GOD does not forbid you to love

    your parents.

    Your family. Your friends. Your country, and your

    countrymen. He

    did not say HATE these. He meant you LOVE them,

    and do care for them, or any of these,

    LESS, than loving Him. Many mistook these to mean to

    exclude all the

    above from your life. To do that would be very ungodly.

    Do not be a

    crackpot fanatic. Not to be an oddball. Be balanced.

    To truly love GOD, you would have to adore Him.

    Worship Him. Honor

    Him.

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    15/61

    15

    Revere Him. Pray to Him. Thank Him. Sing songs of

    praise to Him.

    Credit Him for all the blessings and favors, joy and

    happiness, you

    receive in your life. Whether in nature, or from other

    fellow human

    beings. They are from GOD, using both nature, and

    other human

    instruments, to bless you abundantly.

    YES, PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! PRAISE

    AND THANK HIM IN PRAYER AND IN SONG.

    In this way, He can truly bless you abundantly. And it His

    pleasure and

    delight to do so. Your thanksgiving and songs of praise

    glorifies Him.

    In all these, God is pleased.

    Do not allow things and stuff to diminish your love for,

    and of, God.

    Not money. Not fame. Not celebrity. Not the applause of

    others. Not

    power. In none of these must you ever be drowned. In

    none of these

    must you ever be choked. In none of these must you ever

    be entangled.

    IF you love God, He will bless you with promotion and

    security. And

    there is no grief that comes with it.

    SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND

    ALL

    THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU,

    (Gospel Book of Matthew 6:33).

    The twin most powerful principles of success involves two

    pronouncements by the Eternal Creator GOD.

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    17/61

    17

    They are not what you may think. Not what aggressive

    proponents of success and achievements promote in the

    now world. Not according to the claimed discoveries

    written about which are best sellers in the book market,

    past, present, or future.

    THE FIRST IS THE SABBATH. THE KEEPING OF

    THE SABBATH HOLY AND CALLING IT A

    DELIGHT. THE DIVINE GUARANTEE OF

    BLESSING IS INVIOLABLE.

    THE NEXT IS OFTEN QUOTED:

    SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND

    ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO

    YOU.THE SIMILAR DIVINE GUARANTEE BY THE

    DIVINE SON OF GOD IS JUST AS UNBREAKABLE.

    Success and accomplishments embraces the true Sabbath

    keeper and whose vision of life and living revolves around

    the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.

    These TWO, and the living by them, and in them, releases

    the Believer and Practitioner of the Faith from the

    bondage to spiritual prisons, mental inhibitions, and

    superstitions that bog down every, and any, mortal born of

    woman.

    The individual is astonishingly liberated from his acquired

    mental chains. The invisible and visible albatross is lifted

    from his shoulders, so to speak. The person is quickened

    in many countless ways as he exults in blessings as God

    brings them to him in so many mysterious ways His

    wonders to perform.

    You demonstrate and express your love of God by not

    creating gods in your heart and mind to supplant your

    worship of God, just as much as you do not bow down to

    worship man-made idols and statues.

    Photographs, and paintings. Any, or everything ,

    resembling creatures. Neither heavenly creatures, or angels.

    Neither man or beasts,

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    19/61

    19

    or fowls, neither fish, and insects. Nor whatever they

    symbolize. Stay clear off and far away from worshipping or

    adoring any, or all, of these.

    The worlds masses have come to worship the American

    Dollar, it being the international currency reserve in the

    present world. They worship and crave for it. They live

    and die for it. For it has become their lifeblood, for the

    things and stuff it can buy and the temporary life

    comforts it can purchase, or bring. Even the nations crave

    and covet it.

    As it falls, other currencies will replace it. The nearestcandidate could be the Euro Dollar,

    When the Euro Dollar becomes the worlds currency

    reserve, do not worship it, neither place it on your

    financial altar, as you may have the American greenback.

    Step away from the worship of human celebrities, and

    their images.

    Screen celebrities. Or athletic icons. Avoid idolizing movie

    idols, action stars, or singing stars. Television and

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    20/61

    20

    celluloid images of fictional heroes and superheroes obsess

    tens of millions, teens, or adults alike. Be balanced in

    watching entertainment figures. They degenerate into

    idolatry. All these images create false gods and hopes in

    mankind. All these diminish the love and worship of the

    True Eternal Creator GOD,

    and make them forget GOD.

    Strange as it may seem, you could worship your own

    image of you to yourself. Never take yourself too seriously,

    as to be puffed up in futile vanity. In pride. Always have a

    sense of humor. Rid yourself of your pet peeves and pet

    vain theories that are evidently contrary to good sense, andopposed to godliness. This will contribute immensely to

    your good health, and enhances your good relationship

    with everyone whose lives are touched by your presence,

    your laughter, and goodwill.

    AVOID being drawn to charismatic religious preachers.

    They can hypnotize you, substituting eloquence and gift of

    language, even thespian skills, for the forthright, clear,

    unbroken TRUTH OF THE

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    21/61

    21

    WORD OF GOD. They can explain away the perfect

    Law, the Holy Commandments of true righteousness,

    Such as this second commandment. They can explain, as

    indeed, they already have, that they are not worshipping

    idols. They worship, they say, what these images represent.

    These are present in their church buildings or cathedrals,

    but what these carved figures represent. Very easily, the

    naive human mind will get carried, and easily agree.

    This is exactly why there are hundreds of millions of

    religious piety and inclination who do this. And are quite

    content. Smug. Satisfied.

    And that is how this has become a tradition. Or traditions.And then are set in the mores and cultures of the people

    and the land. Then it builds up with more traditions and

    forms of idolatry. These are accompanied with man-

    conceived and developed memorized prayers, Rosaries,

    Regal vestments, Rituals, Solemn organ music. Burningcandles.

    Burning incense. Soft voice sermons, Come out of all

    these.

    God is holy. As He is the Holy Father.

    And so is His Name sacred.

    Religious teachers have not bothered to teach believers the

    difference between the sacred and the profane. .And God

    condemns the religious leaders, and teachers, for such

    omission and

    calumny. This has caused believers to take the Name of

    GOD

    lightly. Consequently, they took the name of GOD in

    vain.

    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. The

    beginning of wisdom. It commences from that starting

    point.

    That means reverence for GOD, for His very Name.

    GOD has set in motion the operation of the automatic

    law that whosoever takes His Holy Name in vain, and

    takes it for granted, is punished and chastised.

    God is dishonored when mortals use His name for cursing,

    for inane cuss words and outbursts of hateful venom for

    others.

    and for vulgar applications. For affixing His Name for

    expressing sudden anger.

    So-called intellectuals take His Name in vain when they

    deride that very Name and adopt denial of Gods Presence.

    They cause other mortals to lose reverence for His Name.They are pronounced guilty of high crimes and blasphemy

    by God.

    On the other hand, whosoever reveres His Holy Name isblessed. And his Maker honors him. And what a

    wonderful blessing it is when one is honored by the

    Creator of mankind, and Maker of the whole vast growing

    universe.

    When did the seventh day Sabbath commence? Who

    started it? Who made it a sacred day?

    Turn back the pages of time when it started for created

    man. Read what the Holy Scriptures reveal:

    1 THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all

    the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended

    His Work which He had made, and HE RESTED ON

    THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK

    WHICH HE HAD MADE. 3 And God blessed the

    seventh day, and SANCTIFIED IT: because that in it He

    had rested from all His Work which God created and

    made, (Book of Genesis 2:1-3).

    Is the Sabbath a blessing or a burden? Is the

    keeping of it a legalistic commandment?

    13 If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy

    pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of

    the LORD, honourable, and shalt honour Him, not doing thine

    own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine ownwords: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I

    will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed

    thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the

    LORD hath spoken it, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 58:13-14).

    The above scriptures is seemingly shouting and screaming

    out loudly that Sabbath remembrance and keeping is APREMIER KEY TO TRUE AND GREAT SUCCESS

    NOW IN THIS TIME, IN YOUR VERY LIFETIME.

    The LORD God Almighty is, Himself, giving out the His

    Divine Guarantee and Assurance that He cause the

    greatest blessings to come and shineupon your life His

    wonders to perform:

    FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HATH

    SPOKEN IT.

    All the liars and mountebanks out there who tell you that

    the Sabbath and the keeping of it is old covenant legalism

    and old wineskin not compatible with new wine are

    nothing but nobodies, and spiritual zeros to the Eternal

    Creator GOD who created it for man, and not man for

    the Sabbath.

    work be done; but in the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, holy to

    the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall

    keep the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual

    What was in the LORD Gods mind when He created the

    Sabbath day on the seventh day of Creation by resting in

    it? Is the commandment to keep the Sabbath ONLY for

    the people of Israel? Or is it applicable for all the human

    race?

    In everything that God does, mans obedience does not

    EXPANDING THE LIMITS OF MORTALITY

    30/61

    30

    How can mortal flesh and blood, born of a woman, finite,

    and limited, have effective access to life higher than this?

    THE GREAT ETERNAL CREATOR GOD, provided

    for that finite limitation and humanity: He caused to be

    inspired, and thereby to be written, His Word by which,

    through which, and from which human beings may

    receive words of Spirit, and are life, that he may live.

    Modern day human beings are now unwittingly

    sidetracked by the accomplishments of science and

    technology. Many are led to adopt technological gadgets as

    equal, even better extensions of the human faculties than

    God-given talents. Consequently. The many do not look

    to God anymore. The microchip, as the foremost, at thistime. The supercomputers, and personal computers and

    processors, that comes with it, has come to replace the

    Divine Creator in their lives. Poring over the screens for

    many long hours has replaced prayer and spiritual

    meditation and solitude. Listening to endless electronic

    sound bytes has set aside fervent prayers with allsupplications. It may well be that human beings engrossed

    in all these are becoming emotionally cold, and leaning

    towards becoming like their personal computers and

    electronic gadgets: INHUMANE. INSENSATE.

    DEVOID OF HUMAN FEELING.

    WITH DEMONS AND THE WICKED SPIRITS).

    Your Eternal Creator GOD wills you to look beyond all

    human detractors, who proudly style themselves as

    authorities on God. As all-knowing intellectuals,

    and Bible scholars, who look down on down-to-earth

    songs of praise for and towards God. Or sneered at by

    self-proclaimed know-it-alls about God. Who say God

    does not need human praise neither songs of praise.

    When they deride you, do not, never, be intimidated.All these who say these things ARE FOOLS IN GODS

    EYES and consideration.

    Those who are reared in congregations, and churches, that

    are loath to use musical instruments listed in the Book of

    Psalms, and are too shy, even too embarassed, as to think

    they look ridiculous when they use these instruments of

    music in worship services are still in their spiritual infancy.

    They may look old in the faith. They are really babes-in-

    Christ. They simply are vain in their shyness to follow

    what God has set in Holy Scriptures to follow as examples

    JOYFUL WAY TO

    REALLY WORSHIP, HONOR, AND ADORE THE

    SONGS OF PRAISE ACCOMPANIED WITH

    MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. THIS IS GODS WILL

    Twenty two words encapsulate in them the key principle

    of filial love that begins with the active verb: HONOR. It

    defines what true gratitude to ones parents who gave life

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    42/61

    42

    to you, is all about. Who brought you out into the light

    and life of the world.

    To HONOR without qualifications and mental

    reservations. It defines respect for the very mortals that

    were instruments in Gods Hands to bring to reality your

    coming into the presence of others of your fellowmen.

    Honor - Gratitude. Respect. Deep Affection.

    Doing these to, and for, your parents redounds back to

    you in happiness and joy for doing them. Seeing your

    parents delight that they have brought into the world and

    raised a unique person, and individual they are rightly

    proud of. One they call their child. Their very offspring.

    And they are the parents of this blessed one.

    Every time you honor your parents, in thought, in word,

    and in deed, your heavenly Parent, the LORD God

    Almighty blesses your life. With His protection and shield.

    And causes the hidden laws of good health and security to

    bless your very existence. You may never see it. But you

    will surely experience them. Some call themselves lucky. Itis really the blessing of the ALMIGHTY GOD that brings

    all of these to your door. To you.

    HOW TO LIVE FOR BOTHMEN AND WOMEN

    27 And GOD created man in his own image, in the image of27 And GOD created man in his own image, in the image of27 And GOD created man in his own image, in the image of27 And GOD created man in his own image, in the image of

    God created he him; male and female created he them,God created he him; male and female created he them,God created he him; male and female created he them,God created he him; male and female created he them,

    (Genesis(Genesis(Genesis(Genesis 1:27).1:27).1:27).1:27).

    Thereafter, the Eternal Creator GOD blessed them

    (BOTH), granted then the enabling ORIGINAL DIVINE

    MANDATE to become cooperating stewards of the

    planet earth.

    When God said, I have given YOU, He really meant

    BOTH male and female.

    They were to equally partake of the responsibility,

    singularly, or jointly, to be stewards of the whole

    resources of the planet earth. They are not to becompetitors. They are to work together, and complement

    each others strength. To reinforce each other, to overcome

    inherent weaknesses.

    In a marriage, the wife, the woman, is revealed as the

    weaker vessel, (1 Pet 3:7). THIS IS AN AXIOM.

    WHERE DID MANKIND GO WRONG?

    When the human race were diverted to fix their goal onto

    other things than the original purpose for which they were

    created, it commenced to produce many false goals to live

    for. That singular point of reference was smashed.

    Or so they thought they had smashed. In the end, it is the

    only point of reference that remained to endure.

    Everything else is ephemeral. Fleeting.

    Fads. Mode for the time. Obsession for the moment.

    Fashion for a season.

    The Holy Scriptures reveal that the woman is the weaker

    vessel.

    The male, the man, unwittingly, or wittingly, made a

    choice to relegate the women aside, and claim full

    sovereignty of the earth and all that therein is.

    And the woman a lowly subject and subordinate. It went

    worse over the centuries. This book is not enough to

    catalogue all the indignities down which man has pushed

    down women from her original status as rightly

    complementary equal to the man. Thus, man unwittingly,

  • 8/9/2019 J.M. Cardona: HOW TO LIVE

    55/61

    55

    created the missing link, the missing half of his life and

    being. He reveled in his imagined solitary crown. He

    usurped all authority to himself. In so doing, he

    diminished and hurt his own potential for total fulfillment

    that was foreordained for both of them, male and female,

    man and woman, to jointly share. Thus, the paradox of

    the proverbial glass, half empty, and half full.

    At this juncture in mankinds long history, he isconfronted with crises after crises. The human race is

    simply unable to know how to cope with each, and all of

    them. Being mortal flesh and blood, , the human beings

    of this planet go into a mode of denial. Better to forget,

    than to go to God for help.

    Earth-bound, gravity-drawn mortals., born of woman, are,

    without exception crises-challenged from which real threat

    of extinction on a mass scale is being projected moment by

    moment to humanitys habitation, to mother Earth.

    The convergence of catastrophic weather disturbances

    bringing havoc and utter destruction is confounding

    leaders and citizens alike of affected nations and

    inhabitants thereon. As Nature strikes back, all the

    handiworks of their thinking, planning, building, and

    projections for future this and future that are being dashed

    to hopeless pieces. These, they know not how to cope

    with, much less solve. Then disease and hunger stalk the

    ravaged land. What to do?

    WE, NOW, ALL LIVE ON THE EDGE OF

    SUFFERING AND WOE

    Circa June 2008, massive earthquakes of 7.0 to 8.0

    magnitude are

    happening one after the other. For the first time in living

    memory. Southern

    China continues to try to cope with one. 80,000 dead,

    tens of thousands

    perished and buried in the rubble of buildings that

    crashed in the thousands. Continuing rain bring

    landslides. Now floods in Guangdong and Zhenshen.

    The threat of floods from the Yangtze River is terrifying

    hundreds of millions of Chinese.

    Deadly cyclones hit regions, as the Irrawady delta of

    57

    Burma/Myanmar, and 150,000 people are dead. Millions

    homeless. Devastation so widespread.

    The Land of God this was the original name of China

    has suffered intermittently, throughout the 4,500 years of

    its existence. Nature has interrupted its civilization

    building. What is happening right now, as it rises to the

    top of the world economy, is a warning. WIL IT HEED

    THE WARNING

    AND SEEK THE HELP OF THE ETERNAL

    CREATOR GOD OF THE CHINESE PEOPLES?

    In the United States of America, at just about the same

    month, the state of

    Iowa is nnder siege of floods. Thousands of beautiful

    homes under water.

    Worst than Hurricane Katrina, the reports indicate. Other

    states were devastated with deadly tornadoes. Twisters thatcame unexpectedly and disappeared just as quickly, leaving

    destruction and broken lives. Have the peoples of the

    United States of America, a nation of immigrants from all

    the nations of the whole earth, forgotten the Eternal

    Creator GOD? Was not this great country founded on

    Belief and Trust in GOD? IN GOD WE TRUST IS

    IMPRINTED ON THE FACE OF THE ONCE

    ALMIGHTY AMERICAN DOLLAR. Have

    they turned away from Him by taking up heathen culture

    and ungodly ways?

    ARE NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BIBLES

    PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY

    AND FROM THAT CHRISTIAN COUNTRY? Have

    they departed from knowing

    HOW TO LIVE BY GODS WORD, WILL, AND

    WAY?

    WHAT TO DO? Against natural calamities as above,

    human beings, of every color and race, are rendered

    helpless., frozen, immobilized. And then, somehow, they

    turn to GOD who created all of them. Somehow, they

    might, and yet again, they may not.

    Eight hundred passengers perished in the ferry that listed

    Philippines. It is reported that the owners of the ferry

    allowed the vessel to sail while the warning of a powerful

    typhoon Fengsheng was being broadcast in the last week

    of June 2008. The grievous tragedy could have been
