October 4 – All You Desire

He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. — Isaiah 53:2

My children, in this verse My servant Isaiah spoke of the wonderful illumination given to those who were Spirit-guided.

To those who know Me not, there is in Me nothing to appeal to them, or to attract them.

To those who know Me there is nothing more to be desired. “No beauty they could desire Him.”

Oh! My children, draw very near to Me. See Me as I really am, that ever you may have the Joy of finding in Me all you could desire. The fulfillment of all you could desire in Master, Lord, or Friend.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of
my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord…  Psalm 27:4

October 3 — Blessed Assurance

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 
      — Isaiah 32:17

Be still and know that I am God. Only when a soul attains this calm can there be true work done, and mind and soul and body be strong to conquer and to bear.

The Peace is the work of righteousness — living the right life, living with Me. Quietness and assurance follow.

Assurance is the calm born of a deep certainty in Me, in My Promise, in My Power to save and keep. Gain this calm, and at all costs keep this calm. Rest in Me. Live in Me. Calm, quiet, assured — at Peace.

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the Spirit, … Grace unto
you, and peace, be multiplied.  1 Peter 1:2

October 2 – True Meekness

How easy it is to lead and guide when you are responsive to My wish! The hurts of life come only when you, or those about whom you care, endeavor to go your, or their, own way and resist the pressure of My Hand.

But in willing My Will there must be a gladness. Delight to do that Will.

“The meek shall inherit the earth,” I said. That is, control others, and the material forces of the earth.

But this exultant state of possession is the result of a yielded will. That was My meaning of the word meek.

So live. So yield. So conquer.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.  John 5:30

October 1 – Secret of Prosperity

Look unto me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth. — Isaiah 45:22.

Look to no other source of Salvation. Only look unto Me. See no other supply. Look unto Me, and you shall be saved. Regard Me as your only supply. That is the secret of prosperity for you, and you in your turn shall save many from poverty and distress.

Whatever danger threatens look unto Me…. Whatever you desire or need, or desire or need for others, look to Me. Claim all from My Storehouse. Claim, claim, claim.

Remember that I fed the Children of Israel with Heaven-sent manna. I made a way through the Red Sea for them. I led them through the wilderness of privation, difficulty, discipline. I led them into a land flowing with milk and honey. So trust. So be led.

Rejoice. These are your wilderness days. But surely and safely, you are being led to your Canaan of Plenty.

The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in
thy storehouses … in all that thou settest thine hand
unto … in the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee.  Deuteronomy 23:8

September 30 -Wisdom

As thy days so shall thy strength be.

I have promised that for every day you live, the strength shall be given you.  Do not fear.

Face each difficulty sure that the wisdom and strength will be given you for it.  Claim it.

Rely on Me to keep My Promise about this.  In My Universe, for every task I give one of My children, there is  set aside all that is necessary for its performance.  So why fear?  So why doubt?

So teach us to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts into wisdom.  Psalm 90:12

September 29 – I Touch Your Arm

Thy touch has still its ancient Power

Yes!  when you are quiet before Me I lay My Hand upon each head, and Divine Spirit flows through that healing, powerful Touch into your very beings.  Wait in silence before Me to feel that.

When you look to Me for guidance My Hand is laid upon your arm, a gentle Touch to point the way.  When in mental, physical, or spiritual weakness you cry to Me for healing, My Touch brings Strength and Healing, the renewal of your youth, the power to climb and strive.

When you faint by the way, and stumbling footsteps show human strength is waning, My Touch of the Strong and Helping Hand supports you on your Way.

Yes!  My Children, My touch has still its ancient Power and that Power is promised to you.  So go forward into the future bravely and unafraid.

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment;
 and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.  Matthew 14:36

September 28 – The Secret Path

Suffer it to be so now; for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.
– Matthew 3:15

Upon this I founded My three years’ Mission on earth — on the acceptance of the difficulty and discipline of life so as to share that human life with My followers in all the ages.

Much that you both must accept in life is not to be accepted as being necessary for you personally, but accepted, as I accepted it, to set an example, to share in the sufferings and difficulties of mankind.

In this “to share” means “to save.”  And there, too, for you both … the same must be true as was so true of Me.  “He saved others.  Himself He cannot save.”

Beloved, you are called to save and share in a very special way.  The way of sorrows if walked with Me, the Man of Sorrows, is a path kept sacred and secret for My nearest and dearest, those whose one desire is to do all for Me, to sacrifice all for Me, to count, as My servant Paul did, “all things but loss so that they might gain Me.”

But, dreary as that Path must look to those who view if only from afar, it has tender lights and restful shades that no other walk in life can give.

I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven
and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass form
the law, till all be fulfilled.    Matthew 5:17,18

September 27 – Divine Restraint

Is My Hand shortened that it cannot save?  No! My power to save increases as your power to understand My Salvation increases.  So from Strength to Strength, from Power to Power, we go in Union.

Limitless is My miracle-working Power in the Universe, though it has limitations in each individual life, but only to the extent of the lack of vision of that individual.  There is no limit to My Power to save.  Also there is no limit to My desire and longing to save.  My Hand is not shortened and it is “stretched out still,” longing and waiting to be allowed to bless and help and save.

Think how tenderly I respect the right of each individual soul.  Never forcing upon it My Help, My Salvation.  Perhaps in all My suffering for humanity that is the hardest, the restraining of the Divine Impatience and longing to help, until the call of the soul gives Me My right to act.

Think of Love shown in this. Comfort My waiting, loving, longing Heart by claiming My Help, Guidance, and Miracle-working Power.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end.  Isaiah 9:7

September 26 – Serve All

I am among you as one that serveth.

Yes! remember to serve all.  Be ready to prove your Sonship by service.  Look on all you meet as guests in your Father’s House, to be treated with Love, with all consideration, with gentleness.

As a servant of all think no work beneath you.  Be ever ready to do all you can for others.  Serve. Serve. Serve.

There is a gladness in service, a Joy in doing My Will for others, in being My expression of all good for them.

Remember that, when you serve others, you are acting for your Master and Lord who washed His disciples’ feet.  So, in service for others, express your Love for Me.

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.  Matthew 20:27

September 25 – Come and Stay

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28

Yes, come for rest.  But stay for rest, too.  Stop all feverish haste and be calm and untroubled. Come unto Me, not only for petitions to be granted but for nearness to Me.

Be sure of My Help, be conscious of My Presence, and wait until My Rest fills your soul.

Rest knows no fear.  Rest knows no want.  Rest is strong, sure.  The rest of soft glades and peacefully flowing rivers, of strong, immovable hills.  Rest, and all you need to gain this rest is to come to Me. So come.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear 
hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.  1 John 4:18
