Take heed that you fight not alone, for there is much to overcome:
the ego, desires, the strife of the day, the anger, the impatience,
the unwillingness. Do not do any of these things alone, but turn to
God in each little trial, that you be lifted. In despondency, in anger,
in injustice, lift up your hearts; lift up your minds. Call on the truth,
on the power of God. Lift it up within the moment. Waiting for
meditation time or prayer time is not enough. In that moment when
things seem low or grey or lifeless, turn your heart towards Him
who knows the Way, who helps you in the little things, so that the
Holy Spirit can reveal to you the clarity of the moment, the perfection
of Truth, the perception of His Way.
Be not afraid, for it is I, Jesus, who shall help you. Be not alarmed
in this. Feel not at any moment that you are accursed, or that you
are alone, lonely, for it is as I said - I died so that the Comforter
may come to you. For this purpose was my life - that you may be
assisted in all things to overcome this dimension, this earth life.
So lift up your hearts every moment. Let not a moment pass where
you don't think of some praise to God - some joy, some little thing.
For I shall not speak to an empty crowd. I cannot relay my message
to a cold heart, a saddened being. Open up your heart, open up
your mind to take in the new thoughts, the new ways, the new
consciousness.
Be not afraid, for it is I that teaches you. I is I that walks with you.
Whether your steps be downtown, in crowds and traffic, or on a
quiet beach, in the grassy park, or doing daily chores.
Be not afraid, for I am with you. Spirit encompasses all things.
The Holy Spirit is beyond your imagination, beyond your power,
beyond all things you know to be true.
The Earth is like a tiny replica, a very tiny little mold, like a child's
playhouse in comparison to the real world, the Universal World.
And in this playhouse, you're here to learn, to try things, And
like a child, you're given things you can break. Like a child, you
come to be reprimanded. Like a child, you cry often. Know that,
beyond that, there is the real world, where nothing is broken,
nothing is mended. Nothing you see around you today is of the
same truth. The truth is more pure, and it is made of the fiber of
Love. Material life is a slowed-down process - a very very slow
process of the Universal Life, and in this you find it heavy; find
your bodies heavy; find your minds heavy, and your spirit longs
to be quickened; to move through time by a thought; to lift itself
above all imaginings and to realize deeper peace. This is all
possible. You needn't leave Earth to do it. It's possible now.
It's possible today. First you have to be awake - very awake -
and watch all your thoughts. Every thought has to be brought
under rein. Every thought has to be spiritualized and lifted.
Lift your hearts; lift your soul to God; receive the energy.
As you receive that energy, know that it is I. It is I who keeps
the promise to you: knock, and I shall answer, and the door
shall be opened unto you. Seek me not in the way of man,
in scriptures and in books. Seek me in your heart. Seek me
in your higher dwelling place within, for that is where I am.
Over 2000 years have passed. There has been a waiting.
Angels, spirits of holiness, have waited for man to approach
this throne. Time and time again, you've come for wisdom,
you've come for strength, for publicity and acclaim on Earth.
You've come for all the wrong purposes.
Be ye clean. Make your heart one with God, so that you may
enter. Be ye clean - clean of doubt, clean of fear, clean of
negativity, and ye shall find me. Ye shall find the Spirit of
Truth within, and it will teach you all things.
Be not afraid, for it is I, and I came not to judge the world, but
to save the world - save them through my grace. My grace is
your grace. Judge not yourselves. Don't condemn yourselves.
Don't beat on yourself with negative thoughts. Don't, like a
child who has tripped upon a rock, sit and hold your eyes and
cry all afternoon, but brush your sore leg off and run again, and
soon the pain will be gone. You will make mistakes; you will
fail, but stand up again and be brave. Keep a stiff upper lip,
and go on. For those who will indulge in tears shall not see
the joy for they cling to despair. You, too, can cling to
imperfection; can rejoice in being imperfect; can comfort
yourself in mistakes and wrongdoings. This attitude must be
thrown away, discarded, and the new attitude put on - a clean
gown to make yourself perfect before the Lord. To put on a
pure white raiment, you must be made of Truth; and the Truth
is Joy; and the Joy and the Truth shall set you free. Amen.
