Show me Thy way, O Lord, and let us walk in Thy Paths.
You are doing so. This is the way. The way of uncertain future and faltering steps. It is My Way …
Put all fear of the future aside. Know that you will be led. Know that you will be shown. I have promised.
Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham.. I, being in the way,
the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren. – Genesis 24:27
And the work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance forever. – Isaiah 32:17
MY Peace it is which gives quietness and assurance forever. My Peace that flows as some calm river through the dry land of life. That causes the trees and flowers of life to spring forth and to yield abundantly.
Success is the result of work done in peace. Only so can work yield its increase. Let there be no hurry in your plans. You live not in time but in Eternity. It is in the Unseen that your life-future is being planned.
Abide in Me, and I in you so shall you bring forth much fruit. Be calm, assured, at rest. Love, not rush. Peace, not unrest. Nothing fitful. All effectual. Sown in Prayer, watered by Trust, bearing flower and fruit in Joy. I love you.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from
his own works, as God did from his. – Hebrews 4:10
Rest in Me. When tired nature rebels it is her call for rest. Rest then until My Life-Power flows through you.
Have no fear for the future. Be quiet, be still, and in that very stillness your strength will come and will be maintained.
The world sees strength in action. In My Kingdom it is known that strength lies in quiet. “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.”
Such a promise! Such glorious fulfillment! The strength of Peace and the Peace of strength. Rest in Me. Joy in Me.
My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Exodus 33:14
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:24
This cry of the human heart is as expressive of human need as it was when uttered to Me while I was on earth. It expresses the soul’s progress.
As a soul realizes Me and My Power, and knows Me as Helper and Savior, that soul believes in Me more and more. At the same time it is more conscious than before of its falling short of absolute trust in Me.
“Lord, I believe. Help Thou mine unbelief.” The soul’s progress – an increased belief – then a cry for more faith – a plea to conquer all unbelief, all lack of trust.
That cry heard. That prayer answered. More faith, and at the same time more power to see where trust is lacking.
My children seek to go up this path, leading by each stage, nearer to Me.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Hebrews 3:12
No longer has sin any power over you unless of your own deliberate choice.
The surest way to safeguard yourself against any temptation to sin is to learn to love to do My Will, and to love to have that Will done in all the little as well as in all the big things in your daily life.
So often man puzzles over this — if I have conquered sin, why is it then so powerful an enemy?
I conquered sin.
It has no power over any soul that does not want to sin. Then all that could lead to sin is desire.
I lay such stress on man’s loving Me. If his love, his desire, is set on Me — he wills only to do My Will. Thus he is saved from sin.
My Name is the Power that turns evil aside, that summons all good to your aid. Spirits of evil flee at the sound of “Jesus.” Spoken in fear, in weakness, in sorrow, in pain, it is an appeal I never fail to answer. “Jesus.”
Use My Name often. Think of the unending call of “Mother” made by her children. To help, to care, to decide, to appeal, “Mother.” Use My Name in that same way – simply, naturally, forcefully. “Jesus.”
Use it not only when you need help but to express Love. Uttered aloud, or in the silence of your hearts, it will alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of Love. It will raise the standard of talk and thought. “Jesus.”
“There is none other Name under Heaven whereby you can be saved.”
Because of the savour of thy good ointments
thy name is as ointment poured forth. Song of Solomon 1:3
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you. – Matthew 6:33
If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. – Matthew 6:22
The eye of the soul is the will. If your one desire is My Kingdom, to find that Kingdom, to serve that Kingdom, then truly shall your whole body be full of light.
When you are told to seek first the Kingdom of God, the first step is to secure that your will is for that Kingdom. A single eye to God’s glory. Desiring nothing less than that His Kingdom come. Seeking in all things the advance of His Kingdom.
Know no values but Spiritual values. No profit but that of Spiritual gain. Seek in all things His Kingdom first.
Only seek material gain when that gain will mean a gain for My Kingdom. Get away from money values altogether. Walk with Me. Learn of Me. Talk to Me. Here lies your true happiness.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all
these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:31
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
Yes, I, your Master, am a generous Giver. Abundant Life, in overflowing measure, I give to you. For that I came. Life for souls. The Life, Eternal Life, that pulses through your whole being, that animates your mind and body too.
A generous Giver. A Kingly Giver. For this I came that man might live in Me. Life it was of which I spoke when I said “I am the Vine and ye are the branches.” The life flow of the Vine is in the branches.
Our lives are one – yours and Mine. All that is in My Nature must therefore pass into yours, where the contact is so close a one.
I am Love and Joy and Peace and Strength and Power and Healing and Humility and Patience, and all else you see in Me your Lord. Then these, too, you must have as My Life flows through you. So courage.
You do not make yourselves loving and strong and patient and humble. You live with Me, and then My Life accomplishes the miracle-change.
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world. John 6:33
You must be ready to stand apart from the world. Do you want the full and complete satisfaction that you find in Me, and the satisfaction of the world too? Then you are trying to serve God and Mammon, or if not trying to serve, then claiming the wages of both God and Mammon.
If you work for Me, you have your reward. But then you turn to the world, to human beings, and expect that reward too. This is not right.
Do not expect love or gratitude or acknowledgement from any. All reward necessary I will give you.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; … Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24
When supply seems to have failed you must know it has not done so. But you must, at the same time, look around to see what you can give away. Give away something.
There is always a stagnation, a blockage, when supply seems short. Your giving clears that away, and lets the Spirit of My Supply flow clear.
A consciousness of My Presence as Love makes all Life different. The consciousness of Me means the opening of your whole nature to Me and that brings relief. Relief brings Peace. Peace brings Joy. The “Peace that passeth all understanding” and the “Joy no man taketh from you.”
Beyond all words is My Love and Care for you. Be sure of it. Rejoice in it. Walk in My Love. These words mean much. There is a joy, a spring, a gladness in the walk of those who walk in My Love. That walk becomes a glad conquering and triumphant march. So walk.
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you,
that ye may live, and that it may be well with you … Deuteronomy 5:33
