(Q) Please give five affirmations for patients to be used
by them.
(A) First: MAY THERE COME INTO MY CONSCIOUSNESS MORE AND
MORE THE LOVE OF THE FATHER, THROUGH THE SON, DAY BY DAY.
Second: LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATIONS OF MY
HEART BE SUCH, O LORD, AS TO BRING IN MY EXPERIENCE THAT THOU
SEEST I HAVE NEED OF AT THIS TIME.
Third: LET THY WAYS BE MY WAYS. MAY THE DESIRE OF MY HEART,
O LORD, BE EVER IN KEEPING WITH THY WILL. THY WILL, O LORD,
BE DONE IN ME.
Fourth: IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS. LET ME SO
CONDUCT MY LIFE, MY WAYS OF LIVING, AS TO BE IN KEEPING WITH
THAT HE WOULD HAVE ME DO TO BECOME WORTHY OF HIS BLESSINGS.
CREATE IN ME A PURE HEART AND RENEW A RIGHTEOUS SPIRIT WITHIN
ME.
Fifth: MAY MY WAYS AND THY WAYS, O LORD, BE ONE IN THE
CHRIST-LIFE, IN THE CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS. AND MAY HIS GRACE,
AND MERCY, AND PEACE, ABIDE WITH ME.
Sixth: LET MY LIFE BE IN THE WAY THOU WOULD HAVE IT GO. LET
THY LOVE, THY HEALING POWER, BE IN ME: AND LET ME EVER SAY,
"THY WILL BE DONE IN MY LIFE: THOU, O LORD, THE GUIDE:
THOU PROTECT ME JUST NOW."
(Q) Would it be well to send those seeking aid through these
channels a letter thanking them for love offering?
(A) Would be well.
(Q) Please give a verse of scripture that could be used for
same.
(A) LET MERCY, PEACE AND LOVE ABIDE IN THEE, FOR THE LOVE
THOU HAST SHOWN IN THINE OWN LIFE.
(Q) [
585]: Have I had sufficient preparation to begin work
in the Glad Helpers?
(A) Seek thine own heart. Purge it from every thought
that would separate thee from the love of the
Christ-Consciousness. WHO would tell thee thou art worthy of
this or that? Not through these channels, for all have an
access to the Father always - as He dwells in thine heart.
Put into activity that thou knowest to do, being guided by
the love, that protection, that comes with knowing that you
KNOW that Christ abides in thee.
(Q) Have I had the experience of speaking with Him?
(A) Thou knowest.
(Q) [
560]: We were told to send cooperative report blanks
to those seeking aid. There are many that ask to be put on
our prayer list that do not want blanks sent. We do not want
to offend. Please advise how this should be handled.
(A) Let all be done in decency and in order, but remember -
as He gave - "If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out! If
thine hand offend thee, cut it off!" Yet be gentle, be
insistent, be persistent in keeping the pathway open that
all may be helped or aided in their seeking.
(Q) Were we able to help C. H. Hicks before he passed on?
And why did I feel so confident that he would recover? May
some enlightenment be given?
(A) As each seeks to give expression of that felt within
self, may be of the BEST of seed; yet seed falls upon all
characters of soil, even as He has shown. Yet those that
would sow the word of truth, or that would manifest His love
as the sower, FALTER not. Aid came. Be not discouraged.
It will bear fruit.
(Q) Would appreciate if a little more light could be given
on message given me October 5, 1931. [
281-1, Par. 7-A]
(A) This, as many that have been given thee, is in thine OWN
INNER understanding to be gained by the closer walk and by
the meditating within thine own self. And as the way is
opened, step by step is there SHOWN thee that thou hast a
work to do - a service to render in HIS name. For, each
keeps this ever before self - though chosen as a channel,
thou of thyself may do nothing. The Spirit of the Christ
working in and through thee will bring the fruits of the
Spirit in the experience of those that thou would lead to
the light. In leading others thou gainest thy self.
(Q) [
69]: Is it detrimental to the organs of the average
person to take cooking soda three times each day?
[See 69-3.]
(A) This would depend, to be sure, upon the quantity taken
and much of the character of the food that has been or is
in the system. If the food values are such that there is
produced a caustic, then must become VERY detrimental, even
in SMALL quantities - if persisted in. A little soda water
occasionally, if there is the tendency for alkalinity in the
the food VALUES, that the functioning of the organs may be
kept in accord, is beneficial. Too great a quantity becomes
detrimental.
(Q) Please give me such counsel as I NEED at this time.
(A) Be not impatient with thyself nor with thy neighbors.
Be not unmindful that He, the Pattern, suffered long - and
STILL was kind; that He endured unto the end and is seeking
ever to aid thee in EVERY condition that confronts thee in
thine daily experience. And be not weary, then, IN
well-doing, but keep the heart singing - and the expectancy
for great things to be accomplished in His name. And there
will come those influences, those experiences, that make the
living experience in the present more and more worth while.
And the ONLY thing that endureth is patience.
(Q) [
993]: Please interpret the following dream which I
received a few days before Christmas: "I was climbing a
ladder and as I approached the top I became conscious of
one round being out of ladder at the top. It was with great
difficulty that I continued the climb at this point.
Thankful to say, I was able with my finger tips to reach the
top. It took all my strength to pull my body up. Those who
were following back of me seemed to have no such difficulty,
and one of the group made that remark. There was an answer
by one already there, that as I made the climb I had laid the
last round in the ladder.
(A) Both prophetic and profound in THIS experience of the
body-consciousness with the soul's experience. That the
ladder represents the Way is evidenced, as has been given
in interpretations for those that visioned even the ladder
to heaven upon which there ascended and descended the angels
of light. In that the rung was missing and that self had to
make the effort to attain the top makes for those experiences
oft in the mind's consciousness of many, that others that
self considers as having an easy way do not become confronted
with those hardships as, as is felt at times, are experienced
by others. But rather as the voice that came from above,
when the self had made the way easier for those that would
ascend by the experiences of self, that "I AM the way,"
knowing that He made of Himself no estate that others THROUGH
Him might have the access to the Father. And as the voice
of those who cry the way is easier that thou hast made the
last rung, for us; and as there is the cry from above, "Well
done," there should come that peace within self that thine
work of thine hand is acceptable in His sight. Be not unto
vainglory, but rather in that happiness that passeth
understanding in knowing that the work of thine hands is
acceptable in His sight.
(Q) Please explain the difference between the Holy Spirit
speaking through an individual and when it is an entity from
the other side, and why I so desire the Holy Spirit, the
Teacher within. After having opened myself, should I receive
any communications from outside entities?
(A) As has been the warning to all, so encompass self with
the thoughts of the Christ-Consciousness that only that which
may come from the THRONE itself may BE the source of that
which will guide or direct thee in thy seeking.
The Holy Spirit has been pointed out in its activity as
designating an individual in the earth for a particular
service in the earth; while the communication that may come
from outside forces or entities - even though they may be
sent as messengers - is as a relay. Just as the experiences
of many of ye that are gathered here may receive through
these channels that which will aid thee in awakening to
the possibilities, the responsibilities, within thine OWN
experience - but to experience that THOU HAST been AWAKENED
from within in thine own consciousness of being in closer
walk with Him is more glorious still - and only known by
those who EXPERIENCE same. Both are wonderful. One is as
of guided by the spirit of truth. The other as relayed to
thine consciousness.
(Q) Will you give us a message for the following individuals
who have offered themselves for healing work? First,
[[
910]'s mother]:
(A) Let thy service in the vineyard of the Lord be without
thought of self; for they that labor in HIS vineyard are
worthy of the hire, yet must keep the mind, the heart, the
soul, seeking for the light. Thou may be a channel of
blessing to many, through Him - through HIM!
(Q) MARGARET SIMPSON:
(A) Keep the heart singing. Be more joyous in thine service
day by day. "Not EVERY one that saith Lord, Lord, but he
that doeth the will of the Father." Thou may aid in helping
others to find the way. Be gentle, be kind, be meek.
(Q) [
1629]:
(A) In thine getting, get understanding, and know that His
ways are before thee - and that the spirit of truth dwells
within. Do WILLINGLY that thy hands find to do in the
service of the Lord, and the Lord is not a respecter of
persons. Thou mayest aid in opening the way for many to
find the light.
(Q) [
603]:
(A) Oft do the experiences of self find that self condemns
self, and feels or appears as NOT willing - or as not an open
channel for His ways. Yet thou, in thine own self, hast
that which may set the WORLD on fire for the Lord; that of
sincerity with self. Keep thine heart pure. Thou mayest
bring peace and harmony to many by the gentleness of the
Christ words through thine own self.
(Q) ETHEL HORTON:
(A) Keep thine feet firm in the way the Lord may direct
thee, knowing that His whole gospel is in, "Love the Lord
thy God with all thine heart, and thy neighbor as thyself."
In thy activities, then, make the way known that the Christ
loves every soul - and wills that none should be lost.
(Q) [
540]:
(A) Keep thine feet on the path of light and thou shalt walk
in few shadows, and shall draw many in the way that will lead
to the greater service in thy Master. Serve Him in body, in
mind, in the soul, and the growth - and the bounty in peace,
in harmony in thine experience will be the gift of the
Father.
(Q) [
585]:
(A) Use that thou hast in hand, keeping thy feet firm in
the path of the way the Christ has trod. He that is tempted
is not tempted beyond that he is able to bear, if his heart
is in the way of the Lord. Thine aid to many may bring joy
to many. Be joyous. Be happy, in the service thou mayest
render.
(Q) [
295]: Any counsel for me pertaining to the Glad
Helpers work?
(A) Be not as condemning of any as to their manner of
approach; not even within thine own heart. Know the Lord
loveth the cheerful giver, not in moneys but in grace, in
mercy, in peace - that thine own activities may bring in thy
service in every way, to those in the group or those who seek
to find hope and life in the Name of the Christ.
(Q) [
288]: Since I feel innately that I am a part of this
group, but am often unable materially to observe set periods
for meditation, could I aid the group and the prayer list by
calling the names just before going to sleep at night - or
should I not be known as a member of the group?
(A) Wilt thou but reverse thine position with those that
seek aid, or those that may be giving of themselves, this
may answer in thine own conscience. As He has given, not
as an observer of times, of seasons, of days or of years,
but rather he that purposes in the heart to use those
abilities He has given thee in the service of HIM whose love
thou would MANIFEST in the earth. Withdraw not, for he that
looketh back is worse than the infidel.
Keep ye all in the Way. Be happy. Be joyous. And may love
and mercy and peace, that cometh from the Father to those who
use themselves in His service, be WITH thee.
Amen.
We are through.
