The Truth of My Being

Friday, September 26th, 2008
HOW GOOD IT IS TO KNOW, TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE TRUTH OF MY BEING… IN ALL THAT I AM… IN ALL THAT I SAY, IN ALL THAT I DO AND IN ALL THAT I HAVE!  
I was NOT born as a beginner, even tho’ I was born as a tiny infant.   I entered into this form endowed with the stuff of eternal day, with an indwelling powerful creative genius to guide, guard, direct and protect me at all times, in all ways.  I am here to celebrate my aliveness and to recognize that what is true for me is true for all…  So I speak this word for everyone under the sound of my voice, or who reads this message, and for anyone or anything on each of our prayer lists.  There is only one presence, one power, and one intelligence thru out the entire universe.  And that presence, that power and that intelligence indwells each of us, at a cellular level.  When I feel, I feel with that presence.  When I move, I move with that power.  And when I think, I think with that intelligence.  I’m hooked up!!! And so are you.  For what is true for me is true for you.  All that God is… divine light, divine life, divine love, peace, poise, power and prosperity… each of us is in limitless potential and infinite possibilities.  So as we breathe… we inhale potential and possibility and exhale thoughts and inclinations of lack and limitation.  Knowing this we can and do surrender to the indwelling presence with gratitude, thanksgiving and great appreciation.  I anticipate and accept that something wonderful, marvelous and magnificent is seeking to express itself in you, me, us… as us… because it is US.  So let it be!

I Honor People by Looking for Their Innate Divinity

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I appreciate today’s blessings, adventures, revelations and breakthroughs, successes and failures. This is a glorious day and I rejoice in it. Father, show me the Christ in everyone I meet or think about today. It would be very nice if I could discern some redeeming value or characteristic in every person who crosses my mind or crosses my path. I see You so clearly in some people and I forget to even look for You in others. I am ready to give that up and I am willing to behold Christ in everyone, including those who would deny that Christ exists. Shine Your Light of Understanding on my ignorance and Your Light of Love on my intolerance and prejudice. You are active within me as the energy of my motivation, inspiration, enlightenment and Love. I believe You are present in others just as You are present within me and You energize them in similar yet diverse ways. Reveal Yourself to me so that I can know others as You know me.

Thank You God! I Praise You Lord! Selah! Amen!

September Prosperity Prayer 2008

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:23

We thank You God for this month of prayers, peace and forgiveness. We look forward to days of peace and hours of prayer filled with praise, thanksgiving and forgiveness. Bless those we would call enemy and transform them to friends. Bless those who we call friends and transform them to family; brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and mothers and fathers as age would imply. Forgive us our transgressions and mistakes as we forgive those who transgress and err in our sight. Fill us with Your love Lord so that there might be peace on earth and let it begin with us.

\”Glory to God in the highest, On earth peace, good will toward men.\” – Luke 2:14
