WE WILL NOT FEAR, BECAUSE GOD IS OUR REFUGE

What is it that restores the lost years of the locusts? I. What is it that resurrects our body, businesses, home, strength, health, and vitality? I. There is only one Divine Presence and Power and It is all embodied in that which secretly, and secretly is called I. The master had great difficulty in imparting this idea to the Hebrews who had observed ceremonies, rituals, and holy days, but who had...

In an attempt to understand the mystery of God, to explain what can never be explained, and to comprehend what can never be comprehended, man has used words. But words can never explain God. There can never be a word that is God. Not even the word God is God, nor the words Mind, Soul, Spirit, or Truth, for all these are effects objective to the person voicing them. There are no synonyms for God in...

The Kingdom of God is within our consciousness, and when we turn in meditation to this infinite Consciousness to let it flow, we will show forth. More of the Limitlessness, which we are and always have been, and next year a greater degree, and a year after, still a greater degree. In other words, we are expressing as much infinite Consciousness as we can at the moment comprehend. Let us begin with...

Everything visible first had to have an invisible something to send it into form , and that invisible Something is consciousness, which sends Itself into expression as a seed, and all that comes forth from the seed. Were it not for Consciousness, there would be nothing expressed as form. Regardless of how beautiful a thing may seem to be, how wonderful, or how abundant, we must look behind it and...

To sow to the Spirit, does not mean that we have to avoid physical pleasure . It does not mean giving up our work, our profession, our home, or our family. It has nothing to do with what we do externally; It has to do with what is going on in our consciousness while our mind and body are performing their functions on the outer plane. What is going on in our consciousness determines whether we are...

With each meditation, there must be this surrender of ourselves to the Spirit within, together with a realization that God’s grace is our sufficiency and that we are in meditation for the express purpose of receiving the comfort of His Presence. The person who is one with God is merely the transparency through which God is living His life. His body is the temple of God, and his mind is the instrum...

The human race as we know it, is composed of men and women, living completely shut off from Divine Aid, Divine Substance, and Divine Providence . From the most ancient of times up to modern days, man has not only lived by the sweat of his brow but has engaged in conflict to gain his ends, whether in the case of individuals or companies under the name of competition or as a nation under the name of...

If we are willfully disobedient to the laws of God, we must correct ourselves and bring ourselves into attunement, and alignment with His laws. In so doing, the finger of God will touch us to His will and His grace. We must learn to relax, and stop trying to bring God to our mind or body. In that moment we would find that God has always been there. God has made a covenant with his image and likene...

Jesus was wise in the world's ways and heavenly wisdom . He advised his followers against attempting to help people when they wished no help. He said "When you come into the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it: if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you." People do not always receive their message. When this happens, there should be no con...

The Universe holds nothing against us. No matter how many mistakes we have made; we are still perfect beings within, and the within may become the without, if we will carefully train ourselves to listen to the inner voice of truth which speaks to us in our moments of quietness. There is nothing in the Universe that wishes evil to anyone. Indeed, it is only as we experience good that God is express...

We must understand the law of creation . God is our consciousness and, therefore, it is our consciousness that is creating, feeding, nourishing, supporting, and maintaining our bodies in their health, harmony, and beauty at all times if we so desire. We must, however, consciously realize that we are being fed, maintained, and sustained from within. If we do this, it will be done unto us. We may be...

We cannot separate our life or our minds except in belief. And when we do that there is a funeral. But we bring about that funeral by accepting the world's belief in a separation between God and God's creation. Since God is the consciousness of us, and since that consciousness is unfolding and revealing itself as form which we call creation we cannot separate God from its creation . Nobody...

How often had Jesus healed the multitude? How often had he healed individuals? How little healing power any of those people manifested themselves? How great was His sorrow when He said Jerusalem, Jerusalem, I would love to tell you and show you, but you cannot accept it? The people were grateful for loaves and fish. But, Jesus was seeking thankfulness for a principle that he was showing forth and...

We must keep our demonstration in the realm of Spirit. When we turn to Spirit for help, desire only spiritual good. We are living in a higher state of unfoldment than that of demonstrating things and persons. When we turn to God, let us pray for the things of God. Ninety percent of our failure to experience harmony is that we are turning to Spirit for material demonstration. We only have the right...

There is only one way to find our heaven on earth and that is through inner contact with God. We should never undertake anything even a slight thing as going to the corner store without first making conscious contact with God. Nothing is ever what it appears to be in the human picture. We often think that we are doing something for a normal, natural, human reason and find that this was not at all...

 We cannot organize Christ as a physical body, or we will set up one member against another. We will have the mind fighting with the flesh, and the flesh with the bones, and the bones with the blood. The Christ is a spiritual being, and until we can see ourselves as disembodied we will be fighting the warfare between the Spirit and the flesh. We will be trying to use God, the intangible Spirit, to...

The Christ, this great truth, comes to our human awareness . It is said that Christ is born in the manger, but that manger is our human awareness. What happens, then, to our human awareness? It begins to be dispelled. It becomes volatilized. This Christ, this great truth of the infinite Presence and Power, comes to us while we are yet depending on man, whose breath is in his nostrils. It comes to...

The purpose of this message is to set us free through a spiritual awareness of our oneness with God. If we find our oneness with God, we will need no contact with man, whose breath is in his nostrils. This whole message is a statement, or restatement, of our oneness with God now – with or without material organization or human contacts. Think of Christ as a feeling or recognition of a Presence wit...

The mind that was in Christ Jesus is the mind of all people walking up and down the earth , but it is of no avail to them unless and until they consciously purge their thought or mind of the fear, hate, and love of error. Let us use the illustration of money. One way of purging ourselves, and thereby manifesting the mind that was in Christ Jesus, is to look at money – whether it be a quarter or a...

In man’s evolution, mankind was always brought to the point of self-choice and left alone to discover his true nature . If we are endowed with the attributes of self-choice and free will, mankind must be allowed to make this discovery on its own. Nothing is more apparent than man as he now appears, which is the result of evolution. However, to evolve, he had to have a Principle from which to unfol...

Some of you are becoming aware of the fact that the principle of spiritual living and spiritual healing we have dealt with, is different from any of the approaches that have been given to you before . That does not mean that the principle involved is something new. There is nothing new about it, it is the principle revealed by Jesus Christ, particularly in the Gospel of John. Jesus said my kingdom...

The objective is to become one with the law of God, recognizing not even a healthy physical body, but only a purely spiritual body. However, we must not let our thought go out in an attempt to heal the world. That would only be an attempt to change the dream picture since war, depression, and accidents are not realities. We must not use our minds or our thought or our spiritual powers to try to pa...

We have said that there is a spiritual, universal plan. Since God is infinite intelligence, God must operate or act as an infinite plan of good for its universe. Just as we plan our business and the details of our existence, so must infinite Intelligence in Its spiritual way, bring everything into one divine pattern, nothing out of place and no one out of place, but everything and everyone fulfill...

It is a very difficult thing to impart the idea of Christ's wisdom . Christ’s wisdom differs from human knowledge, even from human knowledge of the truth. Humanly, none of us knows what truth is. Certainly, no one knows with the human mind what it is. The wisdom of Christ is not in the realm of human wisdom or understanding. It is the knowledge that transcends all earthly wisdom. The things of...

God is our consciousness and, therefore, it is our consciousness that is creating, feeding, nourishing, supporting, and maintaining our bodies in their health, harmony, and beauty at all times if we so desire.
