Positive Daily Inspiration – September 15, 2022 – Breakthroughs

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 15, 2022 - Breakthroughs

“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”
Isaiah 43:19

There is an ancient drawing depicting what a human being is like. The ancient drawing has a person riding on two horses: one foot is on one horse, one foot is on the other horse, and the person holds a steady rein and balances between them. Truly, that is what each one of you is doing: you are riding on two horses.

One horse represents the human, and the other horse represents the Divine. How well do you balance? If you concentrate on riding one horse, and just putting your foot on the other one, you will stay on, but, if you go from human to the Divine, Divine to human, you will probably fail. You are human, but you are also a child of God. Balance is the key.

You have to remember that there is not one of you, but two of you. When you get to the end of your rope, the end of your bridge, the end of your way – remember – that you are not alone! Even though the human horse had a failure, there is something else, around you, and within you – with you this moment–that cannot fail, and knows the perfect way to the next avenue of life. It is a way that can make your trip an incredible, blissful journey in spite of your past human mistakes.

Remember not to look too much behind, especially if it has been a painful past.

We must look forward and move towards our future with great resolve.

The past may have had some human breakdowns, but with God, the future holds Divine breakthroughs.

Beyond your hat and your boots there lies much to discover. There are two selves with great power: two selves that have all possibilities. The oneself by itself will continue to stumble and fall. There is another self-connected to the Divine. You have spiritual DNA within you.

When you combine the two, you have a force in the world to do great things. Jesus urged you to do great things, but the lower human self, working alone, is often locked into self-images of limitation.

The best way to develop self-confidence and to make a new start is to realize that you are not alone. Realize that you do not have to do it by yourself. God is with you. God knows the way. God knows the words to say. God knows the thoughts and has the wisdom to think through your mind.

God is the God of breakthroughs.

If you have had a breakdown in your life, realize that it can be a breakthrough if you allow God to break through you, to act through you, to use you, and move through you.

How well you cope with a negative event determines the kind of person you will become. With God your future can be a wonderful time for you if you are willing to let go of the bad and accept the good. Know that God goes ahead of you on your path to make it an exciting adventure. The point to remember here is this: the way to cope with failure is to realize that the failure is NOT final. It is just a redirection in your life toward success.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

A Church in the Heart

Surely the Lord is in this place.
This is none other but the house of God.
Who builds the church within their heart
And takes it with them everywhere
Is wholly by far than those whose church
Is but a one day house of prayer.
(Based on Genesis 28:16)

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: God will see me through any change and on to a new beginning.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Say not, I have found the truth, but rather, I have found a truth. Say not, I have found the path of the soul, Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path. For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.” Kahlil Gibran

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 14, 2022 – TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 14, 2022 - TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart … In all your ways acknowledge God, and God will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6

Faith in God is a deep inner knowing that the good that you are seeking is already seeking you. When Jesus was praying, he always gave thanks in advance because he knew, without a doubt, that the good that He was seeking was already His.

Faith contains within itself tremendous power to heal, to bless, and to bring good into manifestation in your life.

When you establish yourself on the firm foundation of faith in God, you experience life as something to be lived, happily and harmoniously. Faith in God strengthens spiritual qualities within you. You build upon this new strength, rather than leaning on previous, limited understanding.

You trust in God with all your heart and in all your ways acknowledge God. You look for and find the good in ALL things. You no longer doubt or have distrust. You no longer have worry or fear. You no longer criticize or condemn. Every time you give love, it returns multiplied. Praise God, who gives you an understanding heart. You utilize the talents and abilities that you have; you become more involved with life and have more enthusiasm for living. You know that to function with the firm foundation of faith is to still the troubled waters and to make the crooked places straight.

You trust in God so much that you do not allow other people to bring you down.

If you find yourself reacting negatively to the opinions of others, you become still, in prayer, and know that God is in this situation; you let God’s love fill your heart with goodwill and understanding. Trusting in God with all your heart, you rise above human hurt feelings.

You neither condemn nor feel condemned. Jesus says, in Luke 6:37, “Condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.”

You respect the right of others to choose the direction of their lives, and you bless them as they continue in the way they have chosen. You give thanks for God-given tolerance and understanding, as you trust God in all your heart to bring about good in others’ lives.

There are times when you need to make an effort towards reconciliation for the sake of another who has misunderstood your motives and seemed to misjudge you. These actions can be made in love and with sincerity, since the love of God continually infills you.

Today, you are established on a firm foundation of trust in God. How much happiness comes into your life when you fully trust in God and look for the good that is coming into your life, with faith and hope.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

As I concentrate on God, everything in my life falls into place.
As I concentrate on success, as I concentrate on forgiveness, as I concentrate
on plenty, as I concentrate on Divine love, as I concentrate on the best
in myself, as I concentrate on loving myself, as I concentrate on loving
my neighbor, everything in my life falls into place. And it falls in a way
that I can truly enjoy it.

Thank You God for helping my concentration.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am concentrated on becoming a better person by serving God in new ways.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: Deciding not to choose is still making a choice.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 13, 2022 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 13, 2022 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Thy name give glory. For the sake of Thy steadfast love and Thy faithfulness”
Psalms 115:1

I ask you to get comfortable in your quiet place, your place of being alone with God. Relax every muscle and let those words of the Psalmist occupy your mind. You are the writer of those words; they are your prayer. Close your eyes and ears to every outer circumstance and allow thankfulness to permeate your entire being. Realize your oneness with God, your neighbors, your foes, your rivals. You are one with all humans. Your heart swells as you realize your kinship with all life, all are one with God as you are one with God.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

There is a unity in the universe. In the mood of wonder, joy, and love, contemplate the words a phrase at a time.

“Not to us, Oh Lord.” We get no credit. All good comes from You, God. We listen, act, and receive the benefits. Benefits we often haven’t earned, but that fact doesn’t shame us. It makes us even more thankful for Your love.

“Not to us, … but to Thy name give glory.” We remember that “name” means “nature.” We are giving glory to God’s nature, God’s compassion, God’s forgiveness. Our love for You, God, overwhelms us. All this and heaven too, the whole of the idea floods us with Your love. We are able to love our enemies living in Your nature.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

I ask you to pause and think of something that you have against someone. As you contemplate this, you will see the insignificance of your complaint. This is the time to allow the love of God to come through you.

You forgive all parties to the incidents, including yourself. We have no enemies, only brothers and sisters.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

This is the time not only to think of God’s love, but to allow the love of God to come in and through you, forgiving all those who you hold anything against. You will do so as we listen to the words of the old hymn Rock of Ages.

Rock of ages,
Truth divine,
Strong foundation, ever mine.
Safe, secure, I here remain,
In the peace God doth ordain.
Living ever in the fight,
Pure and perfect in God’s sight.

On the rock of Truth I stand,
Destiny at my command.
Filled with peace and power of God,
Boundless good, eternal love,
Safe with Truth, so firm and strong,
Praising in triumphant song.
For the asking I attain
Every height in Truth’s domain,
Every wish within my heart;
For no blessing can depart.
All of good is ever mine,
On the rock of Truth divine.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

God’s love gives us the ability to do good even to those who have spitefully used us. For the sake of Thy steadfast love and Thy faithfulness, we are only repaying in a small way what we have received.

God has forgiven us so many times. We try to emulate God’s goodness. We forgive as we have been forgiven, with no reservations, and with no exceptions.

Dear God, this morning we say with the Psalmist, “Not to us.” Use us in bringing to pass the good you want to give us all. We are open and receptive.

We thank You through the name and nature of Jesus Christ, Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Thank You, God, for blessing me with Your many gifts.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “The smallest, good deed is better than the grandest good intention.” Duguet

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 12, 2022 – The Journey of Your Life

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 12, 2022 - The Journey of Your Life

NEW VIDEO TODAY – see below

“Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God’s best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.”
Hebrews 12:15

You cannot have a happy ending to a miserable journey. Focus on bringing joy to your journey and you will find the secret to happiness.

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess. Life is a journey, travel in faith with God. When your life is viewed as a journey, it helps you understand the twists and turns. When you view your life as a journey, you can look back with new understanding. Those turns and detours, that at one time seemed SO unnecessary, actually moved you to where you need to be today. Looking forward, you know that the road you take, today, leads you to a brand-new future – realize that you do not walk alone. This spiritual journey is like an upward spiral. We all know that our advances do not shoot straight up like a rocket, but rather slowly spirals upward. We may face something again, but we will not face it exactly in the same way, for we have been lifted up in our perception, and are viewing it from a higher vantage point.

M. Scott Peck said, “The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.”

Enjoy the journey of your life which God has given you – cooperate with God by having faith in God’s Presence on your path. God walks beside you, and ahead of you, on your path, holding steadfast love for you.

Travel on your journey in total faithfulness to God. God is by your side every day.

You will meet new people on your path and share the journey with them. Perhaps the greatest gift of all, is someone to share your life with. May God bring a new smile to your face every day. May God use this spiritual time to build up a deep reserve of soul relaxation, and joy in you, so every day, and long after, you enjoy your journey, ever aware of God’s indescribable gift. God is our tour guide, preparing a journey of a lifetime filled with joy. We share in the wonder of God celebrating discoveries together.

No one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

God Bless The journey of my life.

This is God’s life the Creator gave to me to live. I live the harmless life neither giving or receiving offense in all my journeying. God’s hand guides my way. God’s wisdom chooses the way. God’s law of order and right adjustment is manifest in every area of my life now, and in the future. No fear alarms me for God’s presence blesses me continually with the spirit of peace. I am an emissary of God’s love. God’s wisdom inspires in me alertness, good judgment, and quick decision. God’s patience gives me time and courtesy. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and directs me in all my ways.

In Jesus Christ’s name. Thank You, God.

Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I do not travel alone; God is by my side.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.”
Meister Eckhart

An elderly man in Tennessee had owned a large farm for several years. He had a pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, since he hadn’t been there for a while and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women in bikinis in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave!”

The old man frowned, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond in your small bikinis.”

Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m here to feed the alligator.”

(Some old men can still think fast.)

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

As we unite in prayer, we pray that you will be inspired and blessed,
and will be helping to bless and inspire others. Our prayers do not stop
with us. May you, and those you pray for, receive very special blessing
from God. May your life be enriched and made new by the power of God.
As our lives touch others today visiting church, or praying where we are,
let us know that with God there is always new opportunity. Every positive
prayer, every constructive word, every movement in the direction of faith,
makes it possible for God to do great things through us.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Wherever I am, God is and therefore I can begin again on the road to my success.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 10, 2022 – Saturday Inspiration

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 10, 2022 - Saturday Inspiration

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” Philippians 4:7

If God brings you to it, God will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Sara Henderson writes, it was hard to watch her fail. Physically, she was growing thinner and more stooped. Mentally, she was losing her ability to sort out reality.

Initially, my grandmother had railed, angrily, against the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease that were eroding who she had always been.

Eventually, the anger gave way to frustration and then resignation. My grandmother had always been a strong woman. She had a career before it was common for women to have careers. She was independent. In her eighties, she was still dragging out her stepladder every spring to wash all the windows in her house. She was also a woman with a deep faith in God.

As my grandmother lost her ability to live alone, my father moved her into his home. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren were often in the house. She seemed to enjoy being surrounded by the noise and activity of a large, extended family.

As she slipped further away from us mentally, my grandmother would occasionally have moments of lucidity when she knew where she was and recognized everyone around her. We never knew what prompted those moments, when they would occur, or how long they would last.

Toward the end of her life, she became convinced that her mother had knit everything she owned. “Mama knit my boots,” she would tell strangers, holding up a foot clad in galoshes. “Mama knit my coat,” she would say with a vacant smile as she zipped up her raincoat. Soon we were putting on her boots for her and helping her zip up her coat.

During my grandmother’s last autumn with us, we decided to take a family outing. We packed up the car and went to a local fair for a day of caramel apples, craft booths, and carnival rides.

Grandma loved flowers, so my dad bought her a rose. She carried it proudly through the fair, stopping often to breathe in its fragrance.

Grandma couldn’t go on the carnival rides, of course, so she sat on a bench close by and waited while the rest of the family rode. Her moments of lucidity were now a thing of the past having eluded her for months, but she seemed content to sit and watch as life unfolded around her.

While the youngest members of the family ran, laughing to get in line at the next ride, my father took my grandmother to the nearest bench. A sullen-looking young woman already occupied the bench but said she wouldn’t mind sharing the bench. “Mama knit my coat,” my grandmother told the young woman as she sat down.

We didn’t let my grandmother out of our sight, and when we came back to the bench to get her, the young woman was holding the rose. She looked as though she had been crying. “Thank you for sharing your grandmother with me,” she said. Then she told us her story. She had decided that day was to be her last on Earth. In deep despair and feeling she had nothing to live for, she was planning to go home and commit suicide. While she sat on that bench with Grandma, as the carnival noises swirled around them, she found herself pouring out her troubles.

“Your grandmother listened to me,” the young woman informed us. “She told me about a time in her own life, during the Depression, when she had lost hope. She told me that God loved me and that He would watch over me and would help me make it through my problems. She gave me this rose. She told me that my life would unfold just like this rose and that I would be surprised by its beauty. She told me my life was a gift. She said she would be praying for me.”

We stood, dumbfounded, as she hugged my grandmother and thanked her for saving her life. Grandma just smiled a vacant smile and patted her arm. As the young woman turned to leave, she waved good-bye to us. Grandma waved back and then turned to look at us, still standing in amazement.

“Mama knit my hat,” she said.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Thank You God for using others to talk,
and act,
through them to bless our lives.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Divine order is now actively at work in my life. God is guiding and directing me to my good directly and through others.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:
“Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all times that you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can.”

John Wesley, minister

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 9, 2022 – SHOWERS OF BLESSING

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 9, 2022 - SHOWERS OF BLESSING

“There shall be showers of blessing.”
Ezekiel 34:26

As we reflect on this past week, we reflect on how many blessings we have received. We take time to enumerate them, either in our minds or on paper.

Now, I ask you to recount your blessings this week. Write them down, and give thanks to God for them.

We are not only grateful for God’s gifts received and given, but also, for the beauty that is all around us.

Today, we appreciate the blue sky, or if it is gray, we shall enjoy that beauty, too. We will enjoy the lovely trees silhouetted against the sky.

Today, we appreciate our family, more than ever before. We will bless them, and know with them, that their lives can be, and are, in Divine order. We give thanks that, in and through God, their every need is met.

Think about your friends; you love and cherish them, and show them your love by thoughtful acts, perhaps a telephone call or e-mail to greet someone and to wish them a happy day.

You pray to be shown ways in which you can continually give to, and help your friends. This day is a day of our appreciation. You will increase your good by magnifying it in your mind, speech, in your world.

The good God has for you is immediate and offers itself to you as a constant stream of ideas, ever flowing to you and through you. You accept those ideas with anticipation and activate them by thinking upon them, prayerfully.

You think upon the idea of God’s light, and your mind is illumined with better understanding of yourself and all that concerns you. In this understanding, you make wise and right decisions that improve the conditions and experiences of each day.

You gratefully think about the idea of life and feel healing currents within you that cleanse and renew and make you whole. You are uplifted in thought of life, it brings a response of strength, energy, and vitality. You think upon the idea of love and feel enveloped in an awareness of security, harmony, peace, and plenty. God’s love brings showers of blessings upon you with a sense of well-being and fulfills God’s plan for you in wonderful ways.

You give thanks for the good that is available to you at ALL times. You open your mind and heart and accept the good from God pouring into your life from every direction.

Today, you accept Jesus’ promise, “Come … inherit the kingdom!”
Matthew 25:34

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

I am ready to receive.
I am open and receptive to my good.
I ask for showers of blessings,
and I promise as I receive, I will be a blessing to others.

Thank You God!

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am a radiating center of Divine love, mighty to attract my good and to radiate good to others.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 8, 2022 – GIVING AND RECEIVING

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 8, 2022 - GIVING AND RECEIVING

“Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17

Do you give, thinking that this action is simply presenting the gifts to others that you think they will appreciate? Or do you give because you think it is expected of you?

When you consider WHY you give, remember that what makes any gift special is the thoughtfulness behind the giving. Just as vegetables that are grown in a home garden seem more flavorful because of the care you have given them, your gifts are more meaningful when you center yourself in God. Then, just as the sun gives freely of its warmth with no expectations, so do we give our gifts.

Our gifts may be given in big or small packages, as words of encouragement or as acts of faith. Let us know, however, that what is most important is that our gifts come from the heart. God, working through us, is the true giver and the gift. Centered in God, we are able to give gifts that are centered in love.

It can also be a gift to others, to graciously receive their gifts.

How well do we receive? Do we accept our good knowing that as children of God we are worthy of the highest and the best? Or do we feel as though we do not deserve some good because we have not earned it? Are we resisting good from others because we do not want to owe something in return?

You are filled, today, with the joy of giving a blessing when you give to others. It is important to know that just as we need to share our blessings, so do others. Open your mind to receive. When you are open to receiving good, you will allow others to be channels for the goodness of God.

In Psalms 24:5, the Bible states, “He or she will receive blessing from the Lord.”

What we owe ourselves and others MOST is the opportunity to love and be loved.

Let us allow God to care for us through the words and actions of others, just as we allow God to care for others through us.

Let us accept the fact that we are worthy of the highest and best that life has to offer. The highest and best of life come through us when we consent to give it away; and it comes back to us multiplied when we again consent to accept it.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I pray that I may not neglect the help and happiness that I may give, with compassion and love. Make me strong in all the senses that answer to the call of humanity. Help me to guide and protect little children, and to care for the comforts of the old.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I bless every gift that I am given to give, God works through me to bless others.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 7, 2022 – STORMS OF LIFE

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 7, 2022 - STORMS OF LIFE

“Thou, O God, art my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.”
Psalms 59:17

Personal important note: Many (hundreds) have been asking about our retreat center in Ellijay Georgia – Hope Hill.

People have wanted to book it, read about it, etc. and it’s now off-line.

About six months ago as I faced my own storm of life with my health challenge. My financial advisor strongly advised that I sell Hope Hill. He said because of Texas and Georgia law it would definitely go into probate which could last years. But I said, “I love Hope Hill,” and when I’m not using it is rented 90% of the time making it very profitable for the ministry. He said, during probate it would sit vacant you would not be allowed to rent it and that being the case it would go into disrepair.

I put Hope Hill on the market and sold it within days for a high amount which went to the trust to support this ministry ongoing.

By the way, I’m doing fine, feel-good, and in a great mood. God is with me. Please don’t write asking me how I’m doing because I just can’t keep up with that kind of correspondence. I dislike being the focus instead of God being the focus. Plus, such correspondence really brings me down temporarily.

I love thunderstorms.

The other day, there was a thunderstorm, and I told my daughter that I was having the time of my life watching it from the covered porch. I love thunderstorms – when I am not in them, but rather watching them with a sure sense of security because I am inside – safe, warm, and dry.

Taking shelter during a storm is a sensible thing to do. You can apply the same action of seeking shelter from the turmoil of your life. You can know that many of your hardships, upsets, or difficulties would be better met by your nonresistance, rather than by your direct participation.

Knowing that God is your present help in the time of trouble, you can take heart as you pray. You can be in the presence of the peace, power, and protection of God while a stormy experience passes. When you retreat into the security of God’s presence of love, you are assured that this, too, shall pass. As you let God takeover, your faith in God increases, as does your ability to work and to pray from a center of peace and power.

During a storm in your personal life, there may be times when peace of mind seems impossible to obtain. You may have decisions to make, work that awaits your attention, or appointments to keep. Busy activities often make the world seem like a place of disorder.

At these times, take shelter in God. Remember that God is never confused and is with you in times of trouble; and no matter how changeable the world is, God is eternal and changeless. God abides with you as perfect peace and harmony. God protects you during your storms of life.

As you focus your attention on God in moments of need, you experience God’s presence and power.

You are resting within the shelter of the Almighty. Within the shelter you are no longer confused. The perfect peace of God gives you the strength and enthusiasm you need to meet life victoriously. With God, you view the storms; from under the shelter, you are less affected by them, and you move through life, easily and harmoniously.

In any storm that you face, hold to the reality of God’s goodness in your heart and mind and know that your every need will be met.

When you find yourself in a storm, let go of anxieties and concerns and let God guide you to safety. Try to see past appearances and become open and receptive to all possibilities, for you know that God will see you through each situation.

If you have a storm of a health challenge, have faith that you will be healed, and that you will be filled with renewed strength and energy.

If you have a storm of a prosperity challenge, release all thoughts of what you don’t have and rely on God’s supply of abundant good.

If you have a storm in a personal relationship, know that God’s love will restore order, harmony and justice in every circumstance.

Just as the sun comes through the clouds as the storm passes, you know that God’s good is coming forth and that all your needs will be met.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

The incomplete is made complete in God. Failure is made into success in God.
Weakness is made into strength in God. Sickness is made into health in God.
Hate is made into love in God.
Thank You God! Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I let go and let God’s good bless me now.

Positive Daily Inspiration – September 6, 2022 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - September 6, 2022 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

This is the most powerful time of this day. It is a time when we go to God without reservation, without holding back. It is a time to release ourselves into the activity of God and to allow the activity of God to work from center to circumference, from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet, and out our fingertips. There is no cell in your physical body that does not feel totally surrounded by God, the total indwelling of God. Know there is no power greater than God. Greater is God that is with you than he that is in the world. Surrounding you, and inside of you, greater than any fear of disease or mistake, is the power of God Almighty.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

In this moment of time, you are one with God. You exchange your human mind thoughts of the lesser for God’s Divine greater ideas. You allow the perfection of the Christ to flood your entire being. You allow it to become you, and God’s truth is shattering the illusion of something seemingly impossible. All wrong practices of humankind have never dimmed God’s glory and radiance within us.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

There is no power greater than God. The belief in self-limitation is utterly false. Nothing can stop us from demonstrating our oneness with God. God is all-power, our help in every need.

Reflect on God’s power in the silence of prayer …

Dear God, I pray that through the complete perfection of thought and energy, every foolish fear will be cast out and will be null and void.

As children of God, we can never be from the presence of the Christ. May the Christ presence give us our intelligence, here and now. Dear God, in faith, we rise up and we banish away all ignorant belief. We are a tower of strength to ourselves, to the cells in our body, and to others, to all people.

Rest in the silence with this thought. There is no power greater than God.

I decree – in my own individual life, there is no power greater than God.
God is working in my mind.
God is working in my physical body.
God is working in my entire life.
The perfection of God is now fully accepted by me.
The Lord, our God, is one God and there is none beside God.
You know this is the Truth. God is with you, from everlasting to everlasting.

In the nature of Jesus Christ … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: The intense light of faith is within me this day. All darkness disappears and I easily surmount all difficulties.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” George Eliot
