I am teaching you both My Way of removing mountains. The way to remove mountains is the way of Praise. When a trouble comes think of all you have to be thankful for. Praise, praise, praise.
Say “Thank you” all the time. This is the remover of mountains, your thankful hearts that praise.
I will praise thee with my whole heart; before the gods
will I sing praise unto thee.
Psalm 138:1
Do not recognize your illness. Each time you speak of it to others you stabilize it.
Ignore it as much as you can. Think more of Me, the Great Healer. Dwelling with Me you become whole.
Even My most faithful followers often err in not claiming of Me healing and perfection for every part of their being.
But to claim physical healing alone is a sign of living too much on the physical plane, and My Healing is of the Spirit.
Claim healing of spirit, mind, and body. Then shall you, regardless of age, know wholeness.
Carry out My Commands and leave the result to Me. Do this as obediently and faithfully as you would expect a child to follow out a given rule in the working of a sum, with no question but that, if the working out is done according to commands, the result will be right.
Remember that the commands I have given you have been already worked out by Me in the Spirit World to produce in your case, and in your circumstances, the required result. So follow My rules faithfully.
Realize that herein lies the perfection of Divine Guidance. To follow a rule, laid down, even by earth’s wisest, might lead to disaster.
The knowledge of your individual life and character, capability, circumstances, and temptations must be, to some extent, lacking, but to follow My direct Guidance means to carry out instructions given with a full knowledge of you and the required result.
Each individual was meant to walk with Me in this way, to act under Divine control, strengthened by Divine Power.
Have I not taught you to love simplicity? No matter what the world may think, earth’s aims and intrigues are not for you. Oh! My children, learn of Me. Simplicity brings rest. True rest and Power.
To the world foolishness, maybe, but to Me a foretaste of Divinity. Never be led by the world’s standard. My Standard only is for you.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through
his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3
I use such simple things and casual moments to reveal Myself to man. He can meet Me in the common ways of Life — if he has but eyes to see and ears to hear.
No great sign, nothing spectacular. In a seemingly incidental along the road of life I meet with him and reveal My Will, My Purpose, My Guidance.
No miles to walk, no long journey to travel, no strange language to learn, no state of ecstasy to be experienced first. Think on these things. Recall our meetings by the wayside.
Our Lord, with hearts full of joy we thank Thee for Thy marvelous blessings showered on us today and every day.
I am beside you. Follow in all things My Guiding. Marvels beyond all your imaginings are unfolding. I am your Guide. Joy in that thought. Your Guide and your Friend.
Remember that to Me a miracle is only a natural happening. To My disciples, to My chosen, a miracle is only a natural happening. But it is a natural happening operative through spiritual forces, and therefore the man who works and understands through the senses only, regards it as something contrary to Nature.
Remember too that the natural man is at enmity with God. Realize fully, and pray to realize more and more fully, that there is no wonder too marvelous to be with you an everyday happening, if you are guided and strengthened by Me.
My children, the children of My Kingdom are a peculiar people, set apart, different hopes, and aspirations, and motives, and sense of reward.
You see a marvelous happening (as that today), happening so easily, so simply, so free from all other agency, and you wonder.
My children, listen, this has not happened easily and simply. It has been achieved by hours, days, months of weariness and heartache battled against and overcome, by a steadfast, unflinching desire to conquer self, and to do My Will and live My teachings.
The frets and the worries and the scorn patiently borne mean spiritual Power acquired, operating marvelously.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
As the world’s great Teacher I taught not only so much by word as by the Living Word.
“Learn of Me,” I said, adding that men should see in Me meekness . . . and lowliness.
So that My disciples should take Me as their great example, I epitomized My attitude towards My Father in Heaven and towards He other children as “meek and lowly.”
Towards God the Father the meekness of a yielded well; towards His other children lowliness devoid of the pride that sunders men and prevents their humble approach to God.
“Learn of Me — I am meek and lowly in heart.” So do you find rest unto your souls.
Fear of what others will say is want of trust in Me. This must not be. Convert all these difficulties into the purification of your characters.
See yourselves as those around you see you, not as you wish to be, and walk very humbly with your God.
I will set you on high because you have known My Name, but it must be a purified you to be so exalted.
Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness
of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Philippians 2:3
I thank Thee, Lord, for the joy Thou givest me and for Thy tender care of me.
Grow ever more and more conscious of this. Look upon all as under My Influence, and life will become increasingly full of Joy. This Joy no man taketh from you.
This is the foretaste of Heaven that will make your passing seem no death, and will mean that your spirit will be no stranger in the home of spirits but will be breathing an atmosphere familiar and dear.
Rejoice, rejoice. I have much to teach you both. Think not that I withhold My Presence when I do not reveal more of My Truth to you.
You are passing through a storm. Enough that I am with you to say “Peace be still,” to quiet both winds and waves.
It was on the quiet mountain slopes that I taught My disciples the Truths of My Kingdom, not during the storm. So with you, the time of the mountain slopes will come, and you shall rest with Me and learn.
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there
was a great calm. Matthew 8:26
Help is always yours.
It comes so swiftly when you realize that you are insufficient to supply your need. But it comes the most potently as you grow to see that for each need the supply was already provided.
My followers so often act as if My supply came into being only through prayer for help.
Would any man in authority act thus in his business?
Learn of Me. I will teach you lovingly, patiently. My lessons are not of the schoolroom; they are fireside confidences.
