Know, No Fear

2/4/2014

Trust all is well, this is what is meant by having faith in God. God is good so we are to believe as God’s children that all of God’s goodness is available to each of us as well. We are to trust in God, trust in God’s goodness, purely and completely, without doubt or fear. For God is Love and Love does not know fear. No fear, God is near waiting in love with love to welcome all to the center of His heart Eden, Heaven on Earth.

When you know something you are sure, you are certain, you are confident. I know I am loved. I dwell in the house of the Lord, the Lord of love. I have built an altar in my heart for God’s Divine Love. God has told me, yes told me, that I am safe, safe in love.

Fear not My beloveds. Know Me. Know Love. Know, no fear.


When we worry we are fearing, fearing bad, fearing not being totally cared for. We are imagining living outside of God’s love. Did you know this? Had you ever thought of it this way? Rethink what it means to surrender to God, to surrender to the power of Love. Love is power, the most powerful energy of all, the energy that creates worlds, worlds of good, the energy that is available for the asking in each moment. Ask and it is given. Ask for God’s guidance, care and love. Then listen. Heed. Give thanks and share the love.

When you want to know, you ask. When someone wants to know they will ask, when they are interested. They have to have interest to care, to care what you say. So until you are asked, save your breath. Breath deep, know and trust that living well is the best you can do to show what you know.

Nothing is bad or good in itself. It just is. It is what you make of it. It’s what you think of it that matters, that matters to you. Someone else may choose to think entirely differently about the subject at hand and thus have a different experience and that is okay for it to be that way. No one is to judge another for their personal choices. It is certainly enough to concern yourself with making the right choices for you. But here’s the good news, when you choose God, you choose good, you choose Love at every turn and all is good in return. It can be no other way when you choose God’s way.

I am listening

It is okay to be scared and admit you are afraid. Come to Me and ask for My help, My light, My wisdom, My abundance and My strength. All I have is all I am and All of Me is here for you. See this, know this. I do not ask you to be strong except in faith, faith that good can prevail. Your belief is necessary to call it into existence. Believe it true. Whatever it is you desire. Call to Me in your hour of need. Call to Me in your hour of joy. I am with you always. We are together as one. Ask for My eyes to see beyond the pain which is so real to you. Ask for My arms to hold you in a loving embrace, as you have not the strength to stand alone.

You need not wait until a dire hour to make this plea for I am always available to thee. You do not have to do any of this alone. Help is available. Aid, comfort and wisdom untold are all awaiting the word from you, the word of acceptance of My love into your heart, the word asking for My will to be done as you set aside your own. I am your Loving Father and you have been the defiant teenager determined to do things your way and all alone. I gave you this independence and I do not take it away. It can only be by your choice that you come to Me and choose to see things My way.

It is okay to be scared. Know that I am here to comfort you. Tell Me of your pain. I am listening. It is okay to be afraid, but do not my dear, please do not choose to live in fear. For if you are living in fear, you are living away from the acceptance of My love. You are choosing the world and their stories over the Truth, which I am. My truth is love, Divine Love, no other. Ask for My love. Ask to be filled with My love and your fear will be no longer. I want you to have a comfortable existence. I wish you well. I am always sending you My love. Be where you are. We are all in this together.

You have the weight
of the world
upon your shoulders.
You cannot carry
the weight of the world
upon your shoulders.
Give it unto Me.
Only I can carry
the weight of the world.

I See the Bigger Picture

8/23/2013

The more ideas I expose myself to, the more questions I have. Just like a child, I ask “Why?” I wonder.

When you were dissatisfied with the life you knew, you sought Me. You sought more to life, and I am the more to life. Living through Me you are finding joy abundantly. Physically you are in the same place, yet spiritually the ladder you have climbed. You cannot be unhappy with Me, for you have found True Joy in My Life, in the breast of My Loving Heart.

Don’t keep these words under lock and key. Keep them where they can be found by the ardent seeker. For just as you have found wisdom and comfort in the words of Mine written by the hand of others, many others will find great value in these words you write. They will bring comfort to seeking hearts for generations upon generations. Do not take this work lightly.

The world taunts you at every turn with seductive marketing ploys. Act now, limited time offer, buy one, get one free, special exclusive offers all around guaranteed to make your life better in some way. But you’re pretty smart. You are catching on. If you miss one offer your chance to ever have that promised happiness will be offered again, if not in the next commercial break then next week or next month. And besides you’re not stupid. You know that while you may enjoy the benefits of such a product, your life will not truly change. Yet all seem to want change, want a better life so continue to look, to acquire and acquire stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff. You are stuffed with stuff and remain unsatisfied.

What you are looking for is a special offer that never expires and has no cost. Haven’t you heard that you can’t get something for nothing? Everything has a cost. Even the ultimate Gift you can receive, God’s Love. Some believe it’s free for the taking because another paid the price but this is not so, not the true story. Each must lay down their own life to walk with God.

The crucifixion that is to take place is with your own ego. I can hear it now, the crowd gathering, roaring up against these words. “This is not the truth we know! Shut up! How dare you even recite such words!” But those who do are not listening now. They have already thrown this book to the side and trampled upon it, all out of fear. So I do not speak to those with minds closed so. I speak unto the seekers of Truth, whom want to know God in their own hearts and minds. You have to let go of your ego. For your ego is what keeps your mind and thinking small.

It is the ego that refuses to listen to new ideas. It s the ego that thinks it knows all and yet fears the unknown for the ego does not want you to look any further. For it knows if you do glimpse beyond you will walk away from its hold and it will wither and die. Yes, the crucifixion to take place is of your own ego. This is the price to be paid.

But such a deal, such a small price to pay for freedom, freedom from fear, worry and judgment, such a small price to pay to know God’s Love. Let go of your ego and let God. Let God’s Love fill all the spaces of your heart and mind. Feel God’s Love. Know God’s Love. Be assured in God’s Love. Walk through life in God’s Love in faith, in trust and contentment.

The offer is available now. Always is the now. It can be the now of today or the now of tomorrow but God asks, “Why wait? There will be no better offers to come. Come enjoy life now to the fullest with Me.” Come forward. Do not lag behind. Your light cannot be hidden. It is for you to know. It is for you to show My Love. Put your fears aside and walk in faith with Me. Trust in goodness. Trust in the goodness of God. God says: Come to Me as you are. You need not be perfect. You will find perfection in Me, in My Love. With My Love you will be purified. Day by day we grow in Love. Day by day we are sent signs from above.

Some see the world and say it is coming apart. Crying out like the little chicken who screamed in terror that the sky was falling. The world my dear is not coming a part. Yes, it is being shaken up, but it’s being put back together bit by bit the right way. Your eyes only see a jumble of pieces of what seems like an unsolvable puzzle. You can not see as I do. I see what can be. I see areas here and there uniting, interlocking, working together, joining forces with others who find strength in looking for their similarities not differences. Looking for how they can be stronger and more meaningful as a united force.

Oh yes you see, I see the bigger picture and it is lovely, it is grand. I do not expect any of you to begin to grasp the whole, leave that to Me. I just ask you each to have faith in the grand plan of one people united in love, living and working cohesively together for the good of all. Look around wherever you are on this grand board game for others who have something they need that you may give. Just as others will be looking for something they need to give you. This is how love interlocks, builds and comes together bit by bit no longer as a puzzle but as a beautiful picture of life.

How do I know if someone “gets it?”

8/11/2013

1 Comment

 

You do not have to believe anything you do not want, not for yourself or your family. “Things” change. This is a fact of life. What and how you think guides the very direction of those changes.

Do not fault anyone for what they do not know. Mostly people’s problems are not due to what they do not know but are because of what they do “know,” about what they have decided is true of life. The things that limit you are the things you know, of which you are so certain. Which you continue to repeatedly point out sealing your destiny and assuring that such will continue to be in your path.

Again we say, “Don’t know so much.” It is okay not to know and to allow the flow of life’s natural state of goodness to be and to be for you. When you live in this way, in the Flow of Life’s Abundant River of Goodness, you do not decide too much. Desire is the key, proper desire.

When one desires properly he thinks about what he wants and feels good. He enjoys the thought of his desire. Proper desire does not get bogged down in the details. Proper desire is the belief that good can and will come your way and that you are deserving of this better. You trust, you believe, that what you desire in life is coming your way for it is already there for you in the Flow. And by the energy you hold, by the power of your feelings and your thoughts, you magnetize your desire to you as it rushes through the River of Life, the amazingly abundant Flow of Goodness of which is always around you. It is okay to want something, to desire something. This is all fine.

As you feel good and think good you allow more good to be your truth. You are in control of your mind. It matters not to you, what others think. Listen again to these words you have been given. Let them sink in. You cannot be a “control freak” and work for Me. Without want there is no desire, no motivation to seek better.

So what do I know is true in a nutshell? I know that life is more, so much more than the shell we live in and view life out of. I know the “More that Is” goes by and answers to the Name of “Love.”

You think too hard. I will give you the words. You just hold the pen to the paper.

How do I know if someone “gets it?”
 
Whoever’s life is directed by fear and worry does not know the fullness of My Love. You are not to tell anyone else what they do or do not know. It’s only a heart to heart talk with Me that can mean anything.

We Like to Bypass Your Head

7/24/2013

Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it is not there. If you want it, believe it so and keep looking, searching and believing. If it is not what you want, then forget about it. We are so proud of you darling, for not bowing down and lowering your own personal standards to fit the world’s view of what is right to do. Who else can truly know you but you? The true You knows the truth of you and it is beautiful, all so beautiful. Listen here My dear. All is well with you.

Who in the world do you think you are and who in the world do you think you aren’t? For you are everything you believe. Believe in Me and with Me that you are wondrous, wonderful, amazing and unlimited. Judge not yourself. Compare not yourself against anyone, nor anyone’s standards, even those you believe are mine for I judge you not. I judge no one. Love does not judge. Love only loves and this is what you are to do for you, love yourself unconditionally.

When you can love yourself unconditionally you can as well love others unconditionally. You can do unto others as you do unto yourself. Love yourself first. Take care of yourself. Treat yourself well. You are in charge of yourself, no one else is. Remember this, you choose who you are by the thoughts you choose to think, what you choose to believe. Do not think less of yourself for you are no less than My Love manifested unto the world.

Sometimes you have to hear things more than once to get it through your thick head and into your heart, which is why we like to bypass your head and speak directly to your heart. Your heart hears and remembers instantly.

You said you want to make people happy. That’s a wonderful idea but you can’t you know. You are powerless in this instance. You have not the power to make anyone else be happy or sad. You may bring joy to another by offering to share the joy you have but you cannot force your joy upon another.


Sometimes my body becomes too much for me as well as my mind and I just have to lay myself down and be one with the Divine.

“We already have our church.” people say, in an attempt to shut the mouth of another as tightly as their own mind is clamped.


For this very reason We ask you not to impose any of these teachings upon one soul. These Words are not for everyone, only those whom seek a better life than they know.

I’m not going to play that game.


What game?

The game where one worries.


Every once in a while I remember why I believed what I believed. Why I didn’t feel good about all I was, or all I did. It was because I believed the words, the opinions, of others. I took them to heart distrusting my own True Self, the Heart of God within me. Luckily for me I see this clearer and clearer everyday, as my mind attunes to my heart which is being overhauled by the Love of God.

I don’t know about “star systems” and such as that and I don’t care to.

If you wanted to know you could know.

No thank you, I’m fine for now.

No one ever told me that what I now do, “talk to God,” was ever a possibility for me or any other. Oh sure, I was told I could and should talk to God in prayer. But the idea that God could talk to me, I mean really talk to me, was never within my comprehension. Perhaps, the very reason I didn’t hear clear His Call, was that I didn’t know that God had a Voice which could be recognized by my heart.


Others should know. Let others know that if they want to hear My Voice they can as well.  For I Speak to all continually. Not many listen. Few recognize the Words as Mine, as My Heart beating for them.

One is not “holier” than another because God Loves one more than another. God Loves all the same. It is just that some have accepted and welcomed more of God’s Love in to their heart raising their own heart, soul, in holiness.

Re-creation of the soul: Physical recreation is necessary for re-creation of the soul, as your mind disengages from its constant workings therefore resetting its healthy set point. Make time daily for the re-creation and realization of the soul part of you of which is of sole importance to your being. Find yourself again and live anew each day in some way.

Sometimes I read these words which I have written and say, “How can I say this, like how dare? Who do you think you are?” But then I remember it is not about who I am and that these words are not mine. They are gifts from the Divine.

Do Not Be Afraid

A new age is dawning My dears. It is a glorious time of awakening. Hearts are hearing Me. Harkening to My Voice and proclaiming Truth in My Name. Do not be afraid to listen to your own heart. There is safety in the Silence. Learn to find comfort in the Stillness, for it is here I await you. Come spend time with Me and ask Me to let you know My Love within your heart. All whom desire and ask so for the infilling of My Love will know Me and through them, so very naturally, My Will shall be done.

Know this Peace and You Know Me

6/11/2013

I want to share my story.

Your story needs shared. You can do this. You will do this. We are here, always here for you, to help you as you allow. Allow us to help you help others by sharing “Our Story.”

Don’t let it bother you, the mass and mess of confusion which you see displayed all around you. You can stand within the midst and be not affected. Stand with Me, stand within the sanctity of the One Mind of Peace. It is here. Jesus stood in mind, heart and soul as his physical form within a raging storm. But He called forth this Peace, this supreme inner Peace into the outer and all was well. Don’t allow the fears of others to be your guideposts. They know not.

You can know this Perfection and Peace within your heart as Jesus knew, Jesus as the Christ. Jesus Christ was the Presence of Peace. Just being in His midst brought comfort to others.


Were the others whom were around Jesus as well this same Peace? Did they as well know this Peace as did He?

No, they did not. Being the Peace that Jesus was did not depend on any outer, nor any other, manifesting this level of Peace. Their lack of Peace did not diminish His.

If you wait for peace in the outer before you know Peace in the inner, you will be waiting a long time baby. Most do not even understand that such Inner Peace is available, and is attainable in the present moment. They are so wrapped up, so all consumed, by the outer. But this Peace we bring to you, which is offered unto you, is the very Peace of God, the Kingdom of God, Heaven, Eden, the Holy Grail, the place within your heart in which you eternally know All is Well. This is the Eternal Peace of which all seek. Know this Peace and you know Me, God says.
