Today I was still held by God’s words, when told I was doing it all wrong, backwards.  And those thoughts brought me back to how God followed with direction and guidance.  So, I returned to my journal page of April 7, 2020, and read the written words I wish to share with you today.

And God said

“It Is All Within”

      And so, after listening to my whining and frustration patiently and quietly, God said, “everything you are talking about, everyone you are talking about, every issue you are talking about can be resolved by going within, first, before you let frustration turn into anger, before frustration rolls into a feeling of helplessness.  Challenge frustration and anger with rejection before the energies draw you into a feeling of helplessness.  You have all I have, within you.  Do not seek validation.  Seek wisdom in the light of My grace, and you will be strong all your days.  Your strength is within, and it comes from Me.  I AM your strength.  Strength can be difficult to accept, because you want someone to side with you, support your position, cheer you on with your cause.  But your strength does not come from causing another to appear less than you.  Strength is not belittling another or making light of their situation.  When you put others down, you never feel better, you do not feel lighter, you certainly do not feel happy or joyful.

          “For all the reasons above, and more, I will not cheer your cause against another, or agree with you as you walk a path that will lead you away from Me.  But I also will never leave thee.  I AM forever with thee.  I will take your hand and whisper, encouraging you to stay near to Me.  My ways are not the ways of the world created by man.  The world teaches you that you have every right to be frustrated, upset, angry, or totally enraged, reacting to another’s action.  This is not true.  You have no right to create more frustration, anger, or rage.  You do have a responsibility to create love, and light, and peace to counter the negative energies which are created.  But to do this requires spiritual maturity.  You must grow in spirit ways before you can turn the other cheek in the face of anger.  However, it is in this way, by turning the other cheek, by loving those who would curse you that the energies of darkness and shadow will dissipate and vanish.  When My children rise-up to counter hatred with love, greed with charity, coldness and arrogance with compassion then the shadowy, dark energies, which inundate the world, will dissolve in the light created by those who are willing to deliver My ways to Earth.  It will be easy to recognize My ways because they are of The Light.  Always remember, My Light, My Love, and every answer you will ever need has already been given unto you.  It is all within you, now and forevermore.  It is a vast and unending treasure chest prepared for thee, just for thee, by Me.  Your strength, your power, comes from following My ways, and using all I have given unto thee to live your life upon Earth in a divine light, growing stronger and wiser within My grace.”

          The reading I have chosen today is from Luke 2:39-40

The Reading

January 11, 2024

“When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. ⁴⁰ And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.” Luke 2:39-40.

          Today I was thinking a lot about epiphany and beyond.  With each encounter of revelation, we walk away with a pearl, a piece of wisdom.  But do we use the pearl, the wisdom?  It was this thought which brought me back to a time when God spoke, with no equivocation, to me.  And the message was powerful, so much so that it was recorded.  It might be a message for you, as well.  It was March 31, 2020.  I wrote it down.  The words flowed, and I typed, and I cried, and that which God wished to say was revealed, in that time.

And God Said

“You are Doing it Wrong”

          And so, that one particular day, when the clouds were releasing as much water as possible, God said, “You know, you are doing it all wrong, all backwards, and out of place.  You are living life upon Earth as a human being, accepting all limitations and boundaries of a human being, when the reality of it all is that you are spirit, living humanity, experiencing Earth.  And, that experience does not have to be human first, and spirit second.  Suppose, just suppose, that you could spin it around, putting your spirit in first place, and having your body, your humanity, follow the lead of spirit.  Ah, that would indeed be very interesting.” 

          “It would be interesting, because you would lose the doubt and fear that have held you in place, tied you down, chained to a boulder.  Now, what would you do, if doubt and fear no longer plagued you, if you were free to do exactly what you felt you were meant to do?  And, what if you could do exactly what you were meant to do without concern about: what others would think; how you could make it all come together; financial barriers to achieving the goal.  What if you could master your destiny, free of doubt, and free of fear, walking through what had previously seemed impenetrable territory, with ease?  Well, My child, that is exactly what you can do, once you accept that you are an eternal being, you are spirit.  You are spirit, wearing the garment of Earth, for a while.”

          “If you can accept that you are spirit, wearing the garment of Earth, for a while, why would you accept that your spirit is limited to only what the human body can do, what the human brain can know and imagine, what the human heart can withstand?  When you put on clothing, any clothing, you want the clothing to fit, so you can move comfortably, without constraint or restraint.  If the clothing is so confining, that you cannot move, you cannot accomplish the things you are to do, then you change the clothing.  You select the clothing which suits the activity of the human body.  So, why do you not make the choice to have your body, brain, heart, and all other pieces and parts of the Earth dust and star dust, comprising the body, fit your spirit, allow your spirit to move, unrestrained, over the Earth?  That is The Way you are meant to live on Earth, spirit first, body following spirit, performing in compliance with the mission of the spirit that is you, the eternal you, the real you, the authentic you.”

          “Once you can make the switch, and have your body do the physical work for your spirit, then you will realize the truth in what your Brother Jesus said, when He told you that you could do everything He was doing, and even greater things.”
