Look Within

I am a drop of water in the ocean of life. A part of the whole, there is no separation. We are all One.

It’s easier to imagine Oneness with the analogy of being a drop of water in the ocean of life for you have touched and thus understood the physical form of the ocean. The body of Spirit, Spirit as One and you as an inseparable part of this, is a notion that escapes your mind. That is alright for your heart has this understanding. When you follow your heart and not your mind, you will always find your way home.

Give no mind to what you do not want for yourself or any other. Separate yourself. Raise your consciousness above the matters of matter. Here you will find peace for you, which is a peace so strong and lovely that it has the power to give peace to the all. When you recognize the ego you are giving credence to the idea of your separateness. When you deny the ego you are able to recognize the wholeness of life in Spirit and feel a part of such.

We know the power matter holds. It is full of energy, a force very strong. It bombards your senses. It says look here see what is wrong. And then it says look over here gain this, buy this and feel better, feel good. But no one tells you the good feeling is just for a moment for your eyes are so weak they can not stay centered on good, even if it is true good for only but a moment.

This is why we tell you to shut your physical eyes to the world and look within for strength and beauty. Here you will find peace and tranquility. Here lies God, your God connection to all. The more you can stay centered in this knowing, the more you will be God showing to all in the outer, for when the inner and the outer are the same you are whole and reside in Heaven.

Supplication

6/11/2013

Bring forth the ideal, supplication.

I need not worry what the next moment brings for I trust in God’s Ways. You see, I see through faith, faith in God’s Will, God’s “Good Will.” This is not the same as one whom one says “Oh, it must be God’s Will.” Like, “If punishment is due, I guess it is due.” No, Jesus taught us a different way to look at and be led through God’s Will. Through supplication of our own will, or need to control, and the asking that God’s Will, or Good Will to All, is done in His Name through us. God knows my desires and my uniqueness for My Maker Himself has bestowed the gifts I have, on me. Of course He wants to use these “God given” abilities to enlighten and bring joy to His creation. This is my only true desire, to be of service so I have laid my life down.

Some would say here that I have “taken up the cross.” But I do not, for that seems to me as an announcement that one is expecting their way to be hard and a burden. It’s just the opposite for me, as I am laying down the burdens of my mind, my fears and worries for the future, and knowing that God will provide my daily needs and lead me out of temptation. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth (the physical) as it is in Heaven (the spiritual). This is truly my daily prayer, which I ask in the Name of Christ, who reigns in me.
 
I find myself speaking with such authority. The words take me back and I laugh, laughter of joy and amazement that such adamant wisdom flows so freely and forcefully from my mind and mouth. “It is true… It is this way… Yes, I know… This is because…”

Drop the Dead Wood

6/11/2013

Do as you are told
and you will be justly rewarded
Drop the dead wood.


We’ve got it wrong. That’s not the point, Christ says. It never was about bearing the weight of the cross not for Him, not for us. We are to drop the dead weight of the cross and rise up. The priest told us again last Sunday that we all have our own crosses to bear. He was asking us, telling us, to think of them, to bear their weight. But if we keep tied to the heaviness of our physical weights we will remain planted in this physical plane. Our spirits cannot soar when we have both feet so deeply planted in the ground.

Rise up
Release
Soar
Glide
Grasp a new idea
The idea of the Peace of Heaven.

 
Yes, we here on earth can have the Peace of Heaven, Heaven on earth, Heaven above earth. But each time we concentrate on our physical woes, they become mental and then spiritual woes, dragging us down. Did we ever hear Jesus complain? He might have commented, but he didn’t complain. He kept his thoughts high. He lived in continual communion with “His Father,” as we are to do as well. Some call this “The Golden Key,” the key to all the treasures of Heaven. Whenever you find your thoughts low, tied to trouble, raise them by thinking of God, the Glory of God. Thank God again and again.

Listen in, hark, hear! This is the Message for all ears.

Come home, God says. Come home now. You do not need to take leave of where you are to be with Me. Now is the time you have. Be with Me. Where ever you are, I am present as Love. People think you have to die to go to Heaven but exactly the opposite is true. You have to “live” to go to Heaven, for Heaven is Life Eternal. You can enjoy life in Heaven while your feet touch the earth. Your “Highest Self” resides there now. How high you go is up to you by what you choose to do. Live low, know low, and stay low. Live high, know high and rise high. Love is what fills your soul like helium in a balloon. My Divine Love will take you to the highest of heavenly realms. Let Me blow kisses to your heart. Each kiss is filled with My Love.

You can’t help but rise higher when My Love you desire. No one can keep you down. No one can hold you to the ground. So filled with My Love you will be that you will see and understand eternity. This is My Gift, My most special and precious Gift which I offer to you. This is indeed the “Good News.” Trouble not. Have no fear. Divine Love is here!

Jesus said. Jesus told. He wanted each of you to know Me, as He (did), for I showed Him the way. He had so much of My Love He could not stay. But I sent back another Gift, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to give you a lift, to lift your burdens, to ease your load. It’s so beyond those rules you know. For I watched you stumble. I saw you cry. And decided that no longer could My Divine Love you deny.

This Gift allows you to flow through life with ease. Yes, like a gentle breeze, My way becomes yours. My Will be done, without any effort or because of anything you have done, but wanted Me so, thirsted for My Love. Oh, how I love to gift you My dears with “this Gift” from My Dove.

Listen in, hark, hear! This is the Message for all ears. I will make you anew. You will not feel the same. Some have felt so changed that they take a new name. This is It. The Real Deal. Offered first to Jesus, My Son, who was once as you, wandering, wondering, what to do. But He asked for My Help and offered Himself up to Me.

Yes, this was the real crucifixion actually.
The cross He died on was His own. He had carried just as you. Falling and tripping, getting up and trying anew. In order to fully know Me, He had to deny “himself.” He had to die ego-ly. Three times He denied his own will and served Himself up to Me. Right then and there He was so brand spanking new that He glowed from head to toe. Oh boy, Jesus sure did show My Love to all He met. Every time He asked in My Name, bounty He could proclaim. Jesus more than believed. What son “believes” in his father? A son can only “know” his father or not. Jesus was My “first” Son, spiritually begot.

“The Christ” that Jesus became, He as well proclaimed was here for you. He told you how and what to do. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus Christ gave no more rules for this was the Truth of His Message and was His Message complete.

If any man so loves Me, as he hungers and thirsts for this closeness, and as well loves and cares for his brother man, he will find himself rising day by day. His thoughts will be of joy and he will see perfectly. This is My Promise; the “Promised Land of Israel,” where greener pastures lie, the Heaven I promised and My Saving Grace.

The Savior was Jesus and can be you. This is what I want for each of you. If you indeed so love Me and spend time with Me in the quiet closet of your heart, you will find My Peace and Love pouring fourth so rapidly into your very being, shaking you to your very core. Oh yes, dear ones, it is you My children, whom I adore, with which I wish to fill with My Love, just as I promised “on the wings of a dove.”

Do not be mistaken. This is not a one-time thing. I have acres and acres of Love for you that I desire so to bring.
Bit by bit, puff by puff, I kiss your heart and fill you up. You will feel this, I know. And you will surprise yourself, when you begin to show. Show in your actions, thoughts and deeds. Show my Love to others fully, just like Jesus Christ did indeed.

You see, this is the difference, this is the Gift. My Love makes doing the right thing easy with no thought, or rules, or laws. You will not even pause to think if any action is the right thing to do. It always will be, as you will be becoming Me fully.

After you pass from this earth you will continue to rise with My Love. Higher and higher, purer and purer will be your soul until it becomes golden and burns like the fire of the sun. Yet until that, you will not be done. But you will be Mine and My Will, will be yours.

Can you see and understand the glory of this story? I know it is different than the one you knew. But isn’t it so much better too?


This is the Truth, which you can know. Ask your heart to show. Invite Me into your life. Yes, the one you are living which is filled with strife. I care not where you have been. I just ask for you to let Me in.

I’m at the door now, waiting for you to pick up the clues. Yes, you have to seek, but this isn’t a game. I just ask you to pray using Jesus Christ’s Name. For He knew and He knows now.  And He did all I asked him to show you how.

Give it All to Me

Heaven engulfs the earth, few know. More will show. Listen here/hear the time is near, so near it’s already here. The air you breathe is given to you. Listen in, I’ll tell you what to do. Come follow Me. Let Me lead the way. It’s time to go, not to stay. Heaven on earth can be felt. It’s for all, no matter what hand you’ve been dealt. Clearer now you are seeing the way, the way to Me, to My Glory. Give thanks and praise to all the good you see. You are beside, not beneath Me. Believe. Believe. Believe.

Know this in your heart, I love you and am with you as you write, as you cry, as you laugh. Give it all to Me and I will give My All to you in return. Take My Hand I’ll carry you through the sand, one set of footprints as you walk this land.

And God said, satisfaction guaranteed with Life in Me. The material world can never truly satisfy. That’s why people are always looking for bigger and better, more, more, more and still never enough. So when is enough, enough for you? What is it all worth? You can’t keep any of it, the stuff you spend your life collecting, none. If you spend your lifetime chasing material riches you will find yourself among the poorest in the hereafter.
