You Never Will

1/2/2014

Don’t look elsewhere; you hold the power for your life deep inside. Bring it to the surface. Rise up. Shine on. Be My Light in the world. Tell My story, the story of My love. Act it out. Be the star. I will guide you line by line, scene by scene. What you need is here.

What don’t you understand My love? You don’t have to know it all. You can’t. You never will. But you can know just what you need to know in each moment. Trust in this and I will feed you. I will give you My All as you need. There is no waste, no want, in Heaven. Be with Me now in peace, in love. I am waiting deep in the center of your heart.

Psalms, songs, praises to God. So sweet, so deep the love God gives from above to one’s heart. Reaping what has been sown. Seeds not scattered, but sown deep within one’s soul. Watered with tears of repentance on bended knee, error thoughts weeded from the mind. What glorious flowers bloom, prayers answered.


Make me a channel for Your peace. Make me a channel for Your love. Fill my heart with Your transforming love. Bring me peace on the wings of a dove. Oh, my heart, desires You so. For only You know the depths of my being and complete my story, the story of Love untold.

Sometimes We just want to thump you on the head!

What is it with you people? If something doesn’t materialize immediately you think you have failed. This is why We tell you to have faith. Believe in what you want to happen. Believe it is coming. Believe it is on its way. Every time you doubt, it puts what you want on hold.

Imagine every wish of yours as a work order. You of conceive something you want. And you believe and that is, submitting a work order to the unseen, (your behind the scene team). So as long as you hold your belief, We work on orchestrating all to make your desires materialize for you. The stronger your faith, the higher a work priority it is for us. When doubt enters your mind, it’s like a whistle blows and all work on your “project” is halted. If you have changed your mind We have no reason or ability to proceed further. This is a team effort and you call the shots. We have no right, nor ability to interfere or act against your wishes.

We love it when you give us projects and let us help. We feed off of your energy. We can only make suggestions. It is up to you to choose and declare what you want, to put in the “work order.” This starts the process rolling. And when you doubt that it is coming, all energy is lost. It’s really like you pulled the plug on that project, so all We can do is twiddle Our thumbs.

Remember, you are the boss of you. But you don’t have to do this life all alone. Your family of friends, spiritual friends, is here to help and guide you. What you do is up to you. Ask and you shall receive Our help, but ask you must in full trust.

Sometimes We just want to thump you on the head. Sometimes We do.

It is You My Child

8/8/2013

Mystic, self-knowledge, wisdom untold, look what I am giving you. Look what I gave you. These words of Truth written of old, so many years, centuries upon centuries before you walked the Earth. These same Truths written just as your own hand has, confirmation of this “Great Truth,” confirmation of My Love Eternal. Wake up, rise up and rejoice. For you know My Love and can share it.  

Heir transparent you are to My Kingdom, yet you see it not. Celebrate your fortune, sing glad tidings, jump with joy, for you are one of the few whom have stepped through the veil of matter and yet you still cling to the old. Is this way not so much better? Can you not still see the Glory in My Plans? Hold tight My dear. Put away your tears. I have great plans for you. You and I have so much to do.


After another obvious sign too clear to be chance I hear, “So, do you still not believe?”

Yes, I do believe, I have faith. Total faith in Your Ways! My mind is moving out of the way. It doesn’t matter so much anymore. As my soul rises I think higher thoughts, all good comes to me. I just have to stay out of the way. Thank you Lord, for Your Continual Blessings. I praise You for Your Glory.

Those whom believe in despair, despair they shall find, professed Holy men or not. The glad heart honors God. The Earth’s bounty is for all to claim and enjoy the fruits of. The objective of life on Earth is to recognize and enjoy the fruits of My Kingdom while as well enjoying the fruits and pleasures of the physical world I have created for you. Hiding and holing away to bar yourself from temptation is not living as I intended. You are to love yourself and others. How can you love your brother if you cannot look him in the eye?

I have seen your pain. I have seen your struggle. Try as you may to obey even the most devout of you have not found a way to live in the world and yet not be of it. I have seen this. I know this. That is why I made the new plan, gave you a new promise. I promised to comfort you and bring you wisdom, give you My Strength to hold fast to My Ways, to take away your sin by taking away your temptation, all while fully living with your two feet planted in your world. You have not understood what has been said, you have misinterpreted My Promise. Yes, Christ was to return but not again in the form he once did.

It is you My child whom are to become Christ as well. With My Gift this is possible, for the way is the same. Jesus, as Christ showed you. He told you that you could be as He and far greater works you could do. What I gave to Him I offer as well to you My love, My Divine Love implanted into your hearts. You do not need to change who you are to become worthy of My Love. My child I love you so much, you are already worthy. All I ask is that you ask continually for My Love, for My Will to become yours. You have to want Me more than life itself; more than the life you know. You have to want to know Me. Show Me this earnestness in your heart and I will give you My Love and change your heart.

You need to “reboot.”

6/11/2013

1 Comment

 
You have to push the reset button of your mind to start again with the freshness and fullness of life as a possibility. You have to clear your “hard drive” of all the corrupted files that are jamming the flow of the system that is in place. We are speaking mentally and spiritually here. This has nothing specifically to do with the physical things you see in life, except what and how and if you think of them. What has to happen is a major reprogramming of what you think about anything, period. You have to get back to basics, to what you came in with, what you knew and didn’t know.

What you didn’t know was whatever you believe now about anything. You didn’t know about money so you had no beliefs about it, whether it was good or bad or if you had any, some, lots or none. You didn’t come in to this world worrying about what you wore, or if you wore anything. The only thing you knew about was what felt good and what didn’t. When something didn’t feel good, you openly showed emotion by pouting and crying. When you were comfortable and satisfied you were calm and peaceful.

That’s what you came in with, a wonderful guidance system. No beliefs, none are necessary for existence. If they were you certainly would have come in with them as you will notice you were designed perfectly for this life you have. Actually you haven’t noticed as well as you should, for you have forgotten this wonderful guidance system you came in with. You stopped trusting it. You stopped believing in it and instead believed those who arrived before you. Well of course you did, as they were bigger and stronger and caring for your physical needs. We know that they did have the best of intentions when they told you the stories they told you about the value of material things and emotional things that arose. They taught you well, as well as they could. They just taught you what had been taught to them, customs, rituals, and stories explaining life and how one was to move through it.

They taught you with their words and actions, some good, some not so good. Some you vowed to follow and some you chose to deny. But at that point, when you became of age to choose your own life course, you as well had forgotten what you came with. The wonderful system put in place to guide you through life without rules, regulations, rites and restrictions. Your original programming was a befuddled mess, so entangled in the things you had been taught about life that you didn’t even know what you knew. Yes, you came in knowing, all the rest has been a belief. And the beliefs are what trip you in life, what impedes the natural flow, that block the strong current of good that is always coming your way, flowing to you.

So we say to live afresh you need to see the day anew. You need to “reboot.” You need to clear the hard drive of your mind from the random files that breakup your stream of consciousness.

Look Up

The rules are written upon your heart. You do not need to “look it up,” you just need to “look up.” God does not test your faith. Ego does and that is the Truth, Truth, Truth, Truth, with a capital “T.”

It will Ring True

5/28/2013

It is scary, because all I have known as safety is slipping away. Yet I know what matters isn’t matter at all, it’s spiritual and my spiritual truth is grand and wonderful. On this truth I rely. I put my faith in God and His Magnificence. All glory, I give to God.

This is the way, the way you come to Me when all else fails and is broken. You fall to your knees and I lift you up in My Arms. I hold you, love you and admire your strength, your willingness to circumvent yourself for the larger goal of love to and from your “True Self.” This is the way of Life with Me, Life for Eternity.

Things are better than they seem. They really are. I can see the glory of the day to come. I know what you do not. I know what your future holds and it is glorious. Yes, your vision is clouded, but your heart is in the right place, next to Mine. We beat as One. You are My hope and you thought I was yours. I have plans for you, for things We can together do. Yes, Me and you. Oh, what We will do.

We do not desert Our own. You have awakened into a Brotherhood of a caring Family. We are here to love and support you as you do “the work.” You are our eyes and ears. Head to toe you can be and go, and be seen, where we may not. Whatever you do, wherever you are, we are now fully able to assist, as you have allowed us to enter your heart and consciousness. You can say what needs said, so it can be heard. Your voice is clear and beautiful. It will ring true and herald Truth for many. We write books together. Of One Heart and Mind we are. Whatever kind of questions you ask, are the kind of answers you get.

Trust

5/6/2013

Do you consider yourself to be a person of your word? When one is worthy of one’s word they are trusted for what they say, they will do. So if someone asks you to do something for them and you agree and confirm you will do it, the other has no doubt that you will perform as you agreed. They count it done. They know they can count on you. Therefore, they give thanks telling you even before they can see the result that they appreciate your actions on their behalf. And in the meantime, as the idea rises in their mind, a smile comes to their face and their heart is grateful for they know all is well and you are working (in the unseen) on the project.

There is no doubt in their mind, even though their eyes do not see your action. They trust in you and your word which you have given to them. They do not summons you for another meeting and repeat their request. They do not call and say, “Oh, just in case you forgot I would like you to do this for me.” No, that is not the action of one whom trusts.

Instead, there may be a call or note of gratitude, expressing appreciation for your work. Or perhaps, they make a point to tell you how excited they are that you are creating something special per their request, how they know it will be so wonderful, beautiful and perfect for them. And as their own artistic vision is limited, they can not imagine what you will create. They only know and trust that it will exceed their dreams, as you have always proven to exceed expectations when given the power of full creative expression.

This is so for you, a creator of beautiful artistic visions, why, how could it ever be less than so for the Creator of all, we ask? We are told to trust, trust in the vision and creation of God on our behalf everyday. Give thanks that it is done.

Rushing Waters, oil painting by Debra Clemente

Where are you?
Do you know where you are?
You are with Me.
You are safe.
You are home.
Be at rest.
Put up your weary feet.
Unburden your shoulders.
Set your cares all aside.
Give them up unto Me.
I will carry you forward
in Peace,
in Joy
as you allow My Being,
My very Essence,
to flow through you.
Put up no barriers.
You have asked
for My Love,
asked for My Way.
So it is given.
It is here.
The time is now
for you to release
the beliefs
that bind you
to what you know,
to what you see.
Release it all.
Walk away.
Step forward
in faith,
with trust
in My Bountiful
Goodness
to fill
every one
of your heart’s desires.

Meant to Lighten your Load

View from on High oil painting by Debra Clemente
November 20, 2011

You don’t have to do this, any of this, on your own and we are not speaking just to the one with the pen in the hand. We, your Spirit family, your Good and God connection, are here to minister to your every need and wish, but it cannot be two ways. It’s either your way or the “High Way.” We invite you to take the road less traveled.

Part of me speaks with a voice expressing what I think and wonder about and the other speaks with a confidence that makes firm statements of this is how it is. I believe this is the Voice of the Truth of God, which is Good.

You have to ask the right questions to get the right answers. Not everyone knows this, this is true, but you are not alone.

Can you see the Light, the Light of Day? I have put it there to light your way. Steal away unto My heart. Give True Life a worthy start. Hear My Voice. Sing My Song. The day, I promise you, will not be long. We are together you and I. Together with One Voice, we touch the sky. This, no man’s heart can deny. All My Power is with you and within you. All can be done. Tell it like it is, My Will be done.


Allow Me to Express through you. Our work is not through. There is much We shall do. Be available. Remain open to Me and your eyes shall see the Glory of it all. The channel, your soul, is just being cleared. There is so much more We will do My dear. Stay near. Don’t you doubt, you will never be without My Love holding you so above the fray. There is no delay. I got you girl, you get Me. We are a team, undivided. As “One” We win, “All to All.”

He asks you why you aren’t doing your art right now. It’s because people need words, words to find their way and you are to direct them as you know and as I show you the Light of Day. Your art will gain value in other eyes as you help Me give them new eyes.

It is all to be well with thee. Smile, you are not forgotten. You are My “For-Get-Me-Not,” My flower child, My blossom in the garden of heavenly delight. Someone will say, “We have been waiting for you, for these words to be delivered.” and you will say, “Here it is, the manifesto!” And as well you have the images which illustrate the brilliance of My Light.


It all started because I wanted to understand why I was this way, why I was so driven to create. I have known no other quite like me. I had to know why this was my destiny. I began to write words as they came, “painting titles” I called them, became a game which I played with myself for over a year before it became clear that there was more just beyond the door which was my mind. And I had to find what lay ahead, what was “Truth” for me, not ever imagining the glory of my destiny.

I now know, it’s the Voice of God which I hear so clear. He calls me “Precious” and loves me dear, but not just me alone. And even though it is my own soul I am to atone, I have to tell what I am told. The story sounds new but it is very old. As old as time and then before time began, our Maker was, the “I am.”

I need to feel good because I have a lot to do.


Yes, you do!

I give God the power of full expression in my life. This is heavy stuff!

This is light stuff, meant to lighten your load to unburden your shoulders from the weight of the world, which you carry around. We never said you had to do it alone. All is done as needed, as you wish. Please be fine with that knowing for now. There is much for you to do and you know what that is. You are the only physical one to do it. So please do leave the unseen to the unseen. We are happy to be of service, please allow.

Me? Crazy?

12/8/2012

I found Debra to be one of my most fascinating guests. As she poses questions and then answers them herself, I just sat back and watched "the show." Oprah
Some people say that people that talk to themselves are crazy. Others say that's okay. It's when you start answering yourself, that’s when you have problems. So with that in mind, some would say I'm crazy. I say, they just don't know. They don't know what they don't know. They haven't, as yet, discovered the amazing secret to an amazing life as I have, the treasure trove of wisdom that lies within ready and available for the asking. Does "Ask and ye shall receive." ring any bells? Wisdom is a very important part of that equation. I'm not talking about trivial facts here. I'm talking about moment-to-moment useful, totally applicable stuff. Like, "Where did I put my phone? What is the name of his wife?" and "What should I do with my life?”

There are rules though, no guessing, none. For when I attempt to guess, ponder or think the answer my mind is instantly involved and I am disqualified from the game. The only way I can access this wisdom is by letting go of my own estimations and ask trusting, in this higher power working through me, for the answer. My own brainpower seems to block the flow of this stream of consciousness. I have to let go and allow flow. Just be, be willing to hear and to heed.

The heeding of the information is just as important as the reception of it. Imagine it this way. It's fun to give the ones you love gifts, especially handmade gifts of love. So imagine giving a special gift to a loved one and watching them open it, then drop it on the floor and walk away. Kind of takes the fun out of the giving doesn't it? So imagine a part of yourself that is the giver of such wisdom and how that part of you would feel to have someone you love not take hold and make use of the gift you have made especially for them.

The joy is in the giving, but proper reception is needed for the giver to be excited about the possibility of giving more. When the giver is acknowledged and thanked, their joy skyrockets. They sit on the edge of their seats awaiting the chance to be of service again.

So goes the "the game" I play within my mind and heart. There is a soul truth to me. Not a single "sole truth," but a vast infinite truth within my grasp, available to me, wherever I am, whenever I make myself available. Yes, I talk to myself. I ask myself and I answer myself. I thank myself and I love myself. Some would say I'm crazy. Some people would care if others thought them so. I don't. I know better. Thank you. I love you. You know me so well.
