If we have that wonderful certainty that we’re making contact with God (who resides within us) quite successfully – peace, joy, love, hope, fulfillment, etc. are felt – we can actually, literally “count on” the simplest little prayer to pack a wallop: “JESUS, HELP!!”
Because we have an ongoing contact, such a simple petition brings instantaneous solutions -a-n-d- there’s always the extra benefit of a solution that is somehow better… much better than we would have hoped for!!!
Never a blind trust but a calm knowing.

My heart needed 3 more minutes!
You’re absolutely not gonna believe what happened to me AFTER I literally spent my early morning hours taking dictation from the Lord. We wrote on the subject of “Destination: Oneness”. I finally got to a resting place in the writing when, ALL OF A SUDDEN, the nastiest, most ungodlike, hateful thoughts rushed in and clamored for attention!!! For a moment, I was so shocked and disappointed. Then God told me to read what I had just written. A huge smile – inside and out – replaced the insidious, fleshly attack. I glanced at the clock and saw that the entire mesmeric episode lasted approximate 3 minutes! My heart needed 3 minutes to catch up.
Right now I’m more interested in the conscious awareness that surrounds the Loaves and Fishes than I am in the supply itself. It was the Spirit of God at work. I know I have the same mind – individually – as Jesus.
Wordlessness
. . . . W O R D L E S S N E S S . . . .
Open your consciousness and realize that God’s grace is a gift. God doesn’t hear your words or thoughts. Turn to God within in a mere attitude of Thy Will Be Done In Me. Say as few words, think as few thoughts as possible. God already is the only power and presence. Thy Grace Is My Sufficiency. God is Spirit Love. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. Pray in Spirit wordlessly!
THAT DREADED QUESTION:
If you were to rate your thoughts,
Each and every one,
Assigning plus (+) or minus (-)
With nothing in between,
How would you measure up
At the end of a pensive day?
Scanning the column down
When all your thinking’s done?
Wotcha doin’?
I’m living and moving and having my being in God, and I’m not letting ungodlike thoughts enter my mind. And you?
Hello?
What seems to happen, correct me if I’m wrong, we get all inspired and warm and fuzzy. Then we go out to “do” life. Sometimes we’re still quite connected to our awareness and we do pretty good for awhile. But if we’re smart we’ll turn our thinking back to that out-of-the-body place where once again, All is God!
When the actual presence of God – not just thinking about God – comes to you, you have entered spiritual life. Until then, you’re the “natural man” whom Paul says is not under the law of God, neither indeed can be.
A stirring will take place within you. God’s life becomes your life and you no longer have a life of your own. You’ll then see that this life that you’re living … is God! Surrender the belief that you were born on a certain date and will die on a certain date and assume your immortality. Not after you die, but before you were born. You can’t make it so: it already is so. You don’t make it so through being good: you merely discover that it is so. “I live, yet not I; Christ lives as me.” “I am come that you might have life and that you might have life more abundantly.” That was God speaking through Jesus. “I can of mine own self do nothing.” God, the Father, always announces Himself so that you’ll know it’s God. There is only one source of your life: God: “Fear not, I am with you.” My presence goes before you. My kingdom is established within you. I, Me, My = God. His kingdom is within you and flows from within you.
Do you endeavor to stay in the Spirit as long as you can? Well, you can quit. You were born in the Spirit 2000 years ago. No matter what you’re thinking about, what side trips you take into dark, not-so-godlike fantasies, you’re still here, completely surrounded by the perfect love of God, Spirit.
The kingdom of God is within you. Why search any further? Even in hellish experiences, God is there instead. You can overcome a belief in separation from God by overcoming your belief in appearances, no matter what appears to be. Acknowledge the activity and presence of the Father within you – in spite of appearances.
