Leviathan: This hebrew word occurs six times in the Bible. It comes from a root word meaning "twist,"
"coil" or "wind." We are citing two of them.
Job 3 :1-17 ...Job opened his mouth and CURSED the day of his birth. He said: "May the DAY of my birth perish, and the NIGHT it was said:"A boy is born!" That DAY may IT turn to DARKNESS; may GOD above not care about it; may no light shine upon it. May DARKNESS and DEEP SHADOW claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may BLACKNESS overwhelm its light.
That NIGHT -may thick DARKNESS seize it; may it not be included among the DAYS of the YEAR nor be entered in any of the MONTHS. May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it.
May those who curse DAYS curse that DAY, those who are READY to ROUSE LEVIATHAN.
May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn, for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.
Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb? Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed? For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins, with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. Or why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of the day? There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.
LEVIATHAN is mentioned in connection with water (the power of the mind). The power, inherited to the waters, appears to signify some form of aquatic creature, of great proportions and strength, although not necessarily of one specific kind.
Psalm 104:25-26 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both large and small. There the ships go to and fro, and the LEVIATHAN, which YOU formed to frolic there.
The creature is described here as cavorting in the sea where ships travel giving the impression of being like a huge whale .... ///

THE EVIL SPIRIT OF RAGE AND RESENTMENT.
How long we will blame GOD as the one who pervert justice?
Job 15: 14 What is man, that he could be pure or one born of woman that he could be righteous?
15) If God places NO TRUST in his holy ones, if even the HEAVENS ARE NOT PURE in HIS EYES, (16) how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!
20)All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him.
21)Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him. 22)He despairs of escaping the darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23)He wanders about -food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. 24)Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack, 25)because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, 26)defiantly charging against Him with a thick, strong shield.
27)Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh, 28)he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.
29)He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land. 30)He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away.
31)Let him not deceive himself by TRUSTING WHAT IS WORTHLESS for he will get nothing in return. 32)Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish. 33)He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms. 34)For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.
35)They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashion deceit.
Job 18: 4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?...
5) The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning. 6)The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out. 7)The vigor of his step is weakened, his own schemes throw him down. 8)His feet thrust him into a net and he wanders into a mesh. 9)A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast. 10)A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.
11)Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step. 12)Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls. 12)It eats away parts of his skin; death's firstborn devours his limbs.
14)He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors. 15)Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling. 16)His roots dried up below and his branches wither above. 17)The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land. 18)He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world. 19)He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.
20)Men of the WEST are appalled at his fate; Men of the EAST are seized with horror. 21)Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of ONE WHO KNOWS NOT GOD.

The purpose of LIFE. By Angela Bernales
The purpose of life is far greater than our own personal fulfillment, peace of mind, or happiness. Far greater than family, career or dreams and ambitions.
Each one of our cells reacts to any thought we have, and any word we say. The continuity of our thoughts and talks produce a specific behavior and postures that attract blessings or maladies in our everyday life. The grim face that many individuals display before our sight is the product of their thoughts and feelings of their personal lives.
The face and body of the elders reflects clearly the internal dialogue of their whole life. Our internal dialogue affects every cell in our body. In the same way our purpose in life not only is reflected in the way we face our trials but also in the reflection that others see in us. We are part of a whole new world.
Everyone of us has a mission to accomplish in this journey and we need to know exactly what it is.
If we do not address the cause of our bitterness through reasoning and understanding of our own behavior, do not expect that a doctor can correct the cause of the sickness in the physical body when we do not want to face it.
Believing that the cure of the illness can be found from the outside to the inside is just an illusion. It doesn't work that way. We need to go to our internal world to find the place where the sickness started.
When we stop blaming others and focus in our own experiences then we can say we are growing from the inside out.
During our childhood, we learn to think about ourselves according to the rules and role models of the adults around us. If we were surrounded by people who were too weak or bitter or victims of the circumstances then we have attracted to much negativity over us and our lives. But it does not means that we have to accuse them of our own unhappiness. They did the best that they could to raise us up.
It is our responsibility to grow from the inside out and accept the fact that we harvest from the seeds that we put in us through our own personal experiences, good ones or bad ones.
Everyone creates its own universe based on their thoughts, and words and our subconscious accepts as truth everything we choose to belief.
We need to accept the fact that our parents were chosen accordingly to make us work hard in the areas of our internal world we needed to grow. Then our responsibility is to grow and execute the tasks we need to accomplish in the journey that everyone has in this world.
