(Q) Is there a message to help me to help others find a
place in His presence?
(A) Study to show thyself approved unto Him day by day. So
does the light of His presence shine unto others in precept
and example. Not by faith alone, but by "my word, by my
works," show ye forth the love of keeping in His
understanding and in the consciousness of being in His
presence. With the LIVING OF that given all will come to the
knowledge, to the understanding of, we are all IN His
presence whether we acknowledge it in the present or not;
for, as has been given, it is in Him we live and move and
have our being; hence to induce, to persuade, to give that
which will bring others, take their positions, their place,
SEE as by the light of HIS presence the needs of the inner
man, and so present that He gives thee day by day. Thus, as
He has given, may we find ourselves happily [haply? as in
Acts 17:27?] in His presence; for, "I will not leave thee
comfortless but will come to thee, and bring to remembrance
that necessary of my strength to meet the needs of the hour,
of the day."
(Q) [
303]: I would appreciate a message that will help me
to more fully realize IN HIS PRESENCE.
(A) As self is less and less put forth, and more and more
faith, hope, reliance sought in His word, each as individuals
may become aware of His presence abiding with each; for those
that would know Him must believe that He is, and IF He IS He
abides ever with those that seek His face.
(Q) [
2124]: Please give the significance of the dream I had
the morning of Nov. 3rd, in which I saw an incline, 3 houses
tied together, a man drowning, bubbles, etc.
(A) As the varied stages of developments in the
consciousness of the soul forces find in the various planes
that which to the body-consciousness represents the various
stages of activity and development, so that experienced in
the vision represents to the self the necessary understanding
of the various planes or stages of the mental visions of that
which represents either the sliding into the consciousness of
the material things or that as in the bubbles, which
represents the life even in the spheres that to man's own
understanding is incapable of being the dwelling place of man
alone, that in these spheres come the various stages of
development as to meet that NECESSARY for the gaining of the
presence of that power from which all spiritual force
emanates.
(Q) What is the significance of the dream immediately
following, in which I was discerning the spirits, getting
messages and giving them to people?
(A) The continuation of that just given, that in the various
planes of development there ARE those abilities to reach only
that to which that influence, that entity, that represented
in the presentation of the spirit TO give out - see?
(Q) What is the connection between the first and second
dream?
(A) A continuation, just as the house, the water, the rope,
the manner in which the tying of one. It is one. O, that
all men would know, "Know, O ye children of men, the Lord thy
God is ONE!" Each spirit, each manifestation of LIFE is ONE,
and a manifestation either in this, that or the other sphere,
or scope, or space of development TOWARDS the knowledge, the
understanding, the conception of that ONE - HIM - I AM - God
- Jehovah - Yah [?] - ALL ONE!
(Q) You will give an individual message on the lesson to
each of the following as I call their names: [
404]:
(A) In Him is the light; hence in His presence does light
shed abroad that which prevents stumbling feet from
faltering.
(Q) [
462]:
(A) In His presence all stand, and as that we see reflected
in the mirror of life shows what manner of shadows are cast,
so does keeping in the consciousness of the indwelling of the
Spirit of the Master keep all in the way of truth and light.
(Q) [
993]:
(A) As the reflections of self come through the awareness of
His presence through the activities, whether in fact, in
thought or in deed, so does the consciousness make aware the
presence of His forces in a manifested manner in the lives of
others, as well as to self; for as in water the face
answereth to face, so in His presence must our deeds, our
thoughts, be reflections of Him. Not in that of long-faced
or in mourning, or in sorrow, but in gladness of purpose, of
service, worshipfulness in Him.
(Q) [
560]:
(A) In the activities of the body so reflect the strength of
the physical man; so in the activities of the mind reflect
the strength of the mental body as directed by the presence
of His Spirit as may be sought, as may be found, as is ever
present with each that seeks to abide in Him.
(Q) [
69]:
(A) Keep that patience of faith, that oneness of purpose in
His presence, that as many bless thee in their thoughts so
may self hold that glorious oneness of purpose in Him; for
all are witnesses unto the effect of His presence in our
lives. So do the expressions in word, in thought, in deed,
reflect whether we are conscious of His presence abiding in
us.
(Q) [[
69]'s husband]:
(A) Keep in the way of understanding, so that there may be
more and more that glorious consciousness of His presence
abiding in us; for as one conquers in self that which makes
for hindrances, the souls of men pass from glory to glory
until the glorious knowledge of His abiding presence is ever
before us.
(Q) [
307]:
(A) Unto him that hath shall be given; unto him that seeketh
shall he find; and as we grow in grace, in knowledge, in
understanding, we come into the presence with that desire of
the mind, of the heart, that opens the way for the greater
understanding in Him.
(Q) [
538]:
(A) Keep in the way that leads to the higher planes of
light, for though the way may be heavy and His presence as of
shadows, yet the shadows are only of thine own
misunderstandings, and His glory will make for the glorifying
of self in a service that brings more and more the knowledge
of entering into the joys of thy Lord; for His presence
abides with those that love Him. "If ye love me keep my
commandments. Learn of me, for my yoke is easy, my burden is
light" to those who come to the knowledge that His presence
abides with those that seek His face.
(Q) [
294]:
(A) Know in whom thou hast believed, that He may call thee
by name as ye enter into His presence day by day. Even in
laying aside those things that so easily beset may the
consciousness of His abiding peace be in thee, bringing
harmony to the mental, the physical body, that ye may go on
in that way that leads to the closer walk with Him. Minister
to those who seek, but minister in HIS name.
(Q) [
379]:
(A) Glory in the Lord, not in self; not in the wisdom of the
earth, knowing that those things that partake of the earth
are earthy, those that partake alone of the mental may easily
become stumbling stones in the way of many. Let the spirit
of truth separate the chaff from the wheat, and enter in with
the full knowledge of His presence, shutteth out all those
things that would beset to him that believes and acts in that
manner.
(Q) [
341]:
(A) Keep in the knowledge, in the understanding that His
ways are to many past finding out; for to those that are
called does He give the power to become the Sons of God by
dwelling in the consciousness of His presence abiding in the
steps of self day by day. Study to show self approved rather
unto God than man, rightly dividing the words of truth, that
thy ways, thy thoughts, thy deeds, may bear witness of HIS
glory being manifest in the earth; for "Lo, I am with thee
always, even unto the end of the earth." Day by day show
forth that thou hast seen, hast known, the glory of His
presence in thine OWN understanding.
(Q) [
295]:
(A) As self has been chosen, as self may make self a channel
of blessings to many that He may speak face to face with His
own, so let thy yeas and thy nays be such that His presence
abides with thee in thy daily walks of life; for His
strength, His power may cleanse the world of sin through the
glorifying of Him in the life of those that seek to do His
biddings. Keep the faith. Keep in His presence day by day.
(Q) [
585]:
(A) As self finds the spirit of truth keeping the way open
for a more perfect understanding in Him, so may we pass step
by step into the consciousness of His presence abiding with
us. In the light of His presence do we measure our own
shortcomings, leaving those things behind that are not in
accord with HIS ways, and taking on more and more that love
that He showed forth in His walks among men. So do we become
conscious of that abiding faith that may make for the
consciousness of His presence abiding with us through every
trial, every temptation that arises in our experience. GIVE
the GLORY when glory arises. Give the praise when the praise
is near. Seek at all times to be conscious of HIS being
near.
(Q) [
288]:
(A) As self finds the mirrors of life showing forth those
lights of the thoughts of the inner man, whether directed to
His ways or to the shadows of life, so may we in reflecting
upon the glory of His presence in our lives come to measure
those steps that we must take in our journeys of meditation
and prayer. Seek, then, to show self approved unto Him; for
in Him is the light. The light may be reflected in us
through those mirrorings in our own selves of His glory, for
that as was given Him of the Father abides in those that seek
through His name to know the Father's presence in their own
life.
We are through.
