MIGHTY AND MARVELOUS

Glad indeed are the souls with whom I walk. Walking with me is security. The coming of My Spirit into a life, and its working are imperceptible, but the result is mighty.

Learn of Me. Kill the self. Every blow to self is used to shape the real, eternal, imperishable you.

Be very candid and rigorous with yourselves. ”Did self prompt that?” and if it did, oust it at all costs.

When I died on the Cross I died embodying all the human self. Once that was crucified, I could conquer even death.

When I bore your sins in My own body on the Tree I bore the self-human nature of the world. As you too kill self, you gain the overwhelming power I released for a weary world, and you too will be victorious.

It is not life and its difficulties you have to conquer, only the self in you. As I said to My disciples, “I have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” You could not understand them. But as you go on obeying Me and walking with Me, and listening to Me, you will and then you will see how glorious, how marvelous My revelations are, and My teachings

See you tomorrow, God Willing

RELAX

Relax, do not get tense, have no fear. All is for the best. How can you fear change when your life is hid with Me in God, who changeth not--- and I am the same yesterday, today, and forever .

You must learn poise, soul-balance and poise, in a vacillating, changing world.

Claim My power . The same power with which I cast out devils is yours today. Use it. If not, I withdraw it. Use it ceaselessly.

You cannot ask too much . Never think you are too busy. As long as you get back to Me and replenish after each task no work can be too much. My Joy I give you. Live in it. Bathe your Spirit in it. reflect it.

See you tomorrow, God Willing

FRIEND IN DRUDGERY

It is the daily strivings that count, not the momentary heights. The obeying of My Will day in, day out, in the wilderness plains, rather than occasional Mount of Transfiguration.

Perseverance is nowhere needed so much as in the religious life. The drudgery of Kingdom it is that secures My intimate Friendship . I am the Lord of little things. The Divine Control of little happenings.

Nothing in the day is too small to be a part of My scheme. The little stone in mosaic play a big part.

Joy in Me . Joy is the God-given cement that secures the harmony and beauty of My mosaic.

GOD’S RUSH TO GIVE

Silence. Be silent before me. Seek to know, and to do My will in all things.

Abide in My Love, an atmosphere of loving under standing to all men. This is your part to carry out, and then I surround you with a protective screen that keeps all evil from you. It is fashioned by your own attitude of mind words, and deeds towards others.

I want to give you all things, good measure, pressed down, and running over. Be quick to learn. You know little yet of the Divine Impatience which longs to rush to give. Does one worrying thought enter your mind, one impatient thought? Fight it at once.

Love and Trust are the solvents for the worry and cares and frets of life. Apply them at once. You are channels and though the channel may not be altogether blocked, fret and impatience and worry corrode, and in time would because beyond your help.

Persevere, oh! Persevere. Never lose heart. All is well.

See you tomorrow, God Willing

FAITH-WORKS

Pray daily for Faith. It is My Gift.
It is your only requisite for the accomplishment. Of mighty deeds. Certainly you have to work, you have to pray, but upon Faith alone depends the answer to your prayers—your works.

I give it you in response to your prayer, because it is the necessary weapon for you to possess for the dispersion of evil—the overcoming of all good in your of all adverse conditions, and the accomplishment of all good in your lives, and then you having Faith, give it back to Me . It is the envelope in which every request to Me should be placed.

And yet “Faith without works is dead.” So you need works, too, to feed your Faith in Me. As you seek to do, you feel your helplessness. You then turn to Me. In knowing Me, your faith grows—and that faith is all you need for My power to work.

LOVE ANTICIPATES

Lord, I will seek thee

None ever sought Me in vain. I wait, wait with a hungry longing to be called upon, and I , who have already seen your hearts’ needs before you cried upon Me before perhaps you were conscious of those needs yourself, I am already preparing the answer .

It is like a Mother, who is setting aside suitable s for her daughter’s wedding, before Love even has come into the daughter’s life.
The Anticipatory Love of God is a thing mortals seldom realize. Dwell on this thought. Dismiss from your minds the thought of a grudging God, who had to be petitioned with sighs and tears and much speaking before reluctantly He loosed the desired treasures. Man’s thought of Me need revolutionizing.


Try and see a Mother preparing birthday or Christmas delights for her child—the while her Mother-heart sings: “Will she not love that? How she will love this?” and anticipates the rapture of her child, her own heart full of the tenderest joy. Where did the Mother learn all this preparation-joy? From Me—a faint echo this of My preparation-joy.


Try to see this as plans unfold of My preparing. It means much to Me to be understood, and the understanding of Me will bring great joy to you.

See you tomorrow, God Willing

AT ONE WITH GOD

One with Me. I and My Father are one. One with the Lord of the whole Universe!
Could human aspiration reach higher? Could man’s demands transcend this? One with Me.

If you realize your high privilege, you have only to think and immediately the object of your thought is called into being. Indeed, well may I have said, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

To dwell in thought on the material, when once you live in Me--is to call it into being. So you must be careful only to think of and desire that which will help, not hinder, your spiritual growth. The same law operates too on the spiritual plane.

Think Love, and Love surrounds you, and all about whom you think. Think thoughts of ill-will and ill surrounds you, and those about whom you think. Think health—health comes. The physical reflects the mental and spiritual .

See you tomorrow, God Willing
