Then it’s time for takeoff!

What qualities must I pack for the journey? What baggage must I release?

Sitting in the Purifying Fire of Change – July 26, 2020

Loving greetings and may you and your loved ones continue to be healthy and safe. As challenging events happen right before our eyes on a daily basis, it is vital to know that we are supported by the power of the Law of Love, a love that calls us to prayer. And when we say yes to this call, we find ways of balancing ourselves and thereby support the world in balancing itself. I remind us all that Spirit’s Love is never diminished by any of the appearances of outer conditions. As we gather together to celebrate the Spirit, let us expand our trust in that Love as we explore this month’s theme, “Practice Your Practice.”

The July 26, 2020 topic is Sitting in the Purifying Fire of Change. How challenging it is to keep our cool while sitting in the fire of change. How easy it is to go into denial or a spiritual bypass in an attempt to escape being singed by the purifying flames of change. There is good reason to take heart, for it is precisely the sacred fire of change that burns away all that is not the True Self, allowing us to catch Spirit’s reflection within our very being.

I learned that during such times Grace intervenes, extending a hand that leads us to stop jumping around instead choosing to take a leap in consciousness. Today, let’s take that leap together, spirit-to-spirit.

The Fourth Secret of Answered Prayer – June 28, 2020

Loving greetings and may you and your loved ones be healthy and safe as together we walk through these challenging times. I have no doubt that you, like myself, feel a strong inward call to prayer for our entire global family. As I read articles and watch programs about this situation, I hear the recurring statement that never in our recorded human history has there been such an obvious expression of our interdependence upon one another to now live in such a way that is for the greater good of all humanity.

To the guidelines based on science given to us by the CDC, I add that of the spiritual science of prayer, which inspired this month’s theme, “The Four Secrets of Answered Prayer.” I’ve had some extra assistance from a book I read The Prayer Chest, a novel co-authored by New Thought ministers August Gold and Joel Fotinos.

I look forward to your joining the Beloved Community as we unite in prayer and celebration of the Spirit.

The June 28, 2020 topic is The Fourth Secret of Answered Prayer. It is in the fifth step of Spiritual Mind Treatment—”Release”—that our ultimate trust in the law of prayer occurs in the form of surrender to the wisdom of Spirit. We let go of our attachment to the outcome of our prayer, including the “how” and “when” of it. This is what Ernest Holmes was conveying in his encouraging guidance to, “Pray right and God cannot help responding.”
