Human Instinct - How does it relate to God.

Instinct, we can feel this almost every minute of our life. So what is this in our life?

For example, when you are planning to do an activity, you instinct can reflect that in a different way. 

• You are planning to go for a long ride in your bike, but your human instinct is restricting that idea or the plan is postponed by some work or by someone. 
• You are planning do something in a way and your instinct is guiding you to a different end result. 

So what are these? These are the ways we will be guided by God. As humans we need God's guidance all times. God can come to us through other person, which is not possible all times. So God is communicating to us through our instinct. Listen to your instinct and follow it. You will be walking in the right path to your eternal goal. 

The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time (Jonah 3:1). So if we are not listening to your instinct then God will still come to us in other means. He will not forsake us at any time. 

Giving all the wealth to the community, is it possible?

Acts 4:34-35

34 None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses would sell them, and bring the money from the sale of them,

35 to present it to the apostles; it was then distributed to any who might be in need.

After Jesus resurrection, people who got baptized were living as one family or community and their possession/wealth were one. Everyone was sharing their wealth with others in need. So no one wants anything special and everyone is spending the life as God’s wish.

Today World:

But in today’s world we cannot share all our wealth with others. But this teaching will fit to today’s Holy Matrimony. Husband and wife should share everything they have among themself. So the family can be a small community like how it was in the early Christian life.
