Truth or Fiction

Here are highlights from last Sunday's sermon.
  1. "Pain, sickness, poverty, old age and death cannot master you, for they are not real." (Lessons In Truth)
  2. Your senses seem to say that all of the above are real, and yet your soul says only God and God's perfection are real. The only seeming challenge you have in life is resolving the discrepancy between what your soul says is real and what your senses seem to say is real.
  3. Life mastery happens when you can ignore the testimony of the senses, and stand firm on God's Absolute allness.
  4. People say this is difficult, but it is because they are sincerely trying from a human sense of identity. It is the Christ that knows the Truth and reveals that you are already and forever free from pain, sickness, poverty, old age and death.
  5. The most important thing you can do is REALIZE (real in your eyes) your Christ (God as you) Identity as your only Identity. The more you realize your Christ Identity, the less you will seem to be bamboozled into believing that the false is real and that the Real is invisible.
  6. Go into your prayer closet (as often as you feel led) and take these words with you, "I and my Father are one." Ask your God Consciousness for great understanding and clarity of these words. As your understanding increases, you are realizing and experiencing your Christ Identity. This simple practice will seem to lift your feet off of what appears to be the battlefield of life and will plant them solidly in the kingdom of heaven.

Live The Life/Walk The Talk (sermon recap)

I apologize that this past Sunday's sermon was not recorded. We will now implement preventative measures to insure that it never happens again. Here is a brief recap of the sermon's highlights.
If you want to live the power you read about in the Truth books, the first requirement is a right understanding of God.

Affirmations, denials and mental visualizations do not take the place of a right understanding of God gained through silent, God-focused prayer.

Whenever the going seems rough and you don't know what to do about it and don't know how to pray about it, DON'T PRAY ABOUT IT. Instead pray something similar to this, "God, what is it that I need to understand about you." [You may have to keep this up for awhile until the answer is revealed.]

All of our seeming problems have one thing in common. They represent a misunderstanding of the presence and nature of God. Clear up the misunderstanding by spiritual realization and there is no more problem

Be steadfast and unwavering TRUSTING that your spiritual principles are already true--even when things seem just the opposite.

Spiritual principles don't change because your situation seems to change. God remains all despite what you seem to be going through. Maintain that you move, live and have your being in and as the Perfection of God, rather than believe that you are going through something--no matter what that something appears to be.

You can never go wrong praying to see clearly that God is right here where the problem seems to be.
