(Q) You will give affirmations which may be sent to those
on the daily prayer lists.
(A) OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. LET
THY LOVE, THAT HAS BEEN MANIFESTED IN THE EARTH, BE MORE AND
MORE A PART OF MY DAILY LIFE; THAT I MAY KNOW LIFE, HEALTH,
PEACE AND JOY THAT ARE IN THEE AND THY PROMISES.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD. THOU ART LIFE AND HELP AND JOY
AND PEACE, AND ONLY AS I MANIFEST THESE IN MY DAILY LIFE MAY
I ENJOY THE WHOLE PEACE OF THE FATHER. GIVE, O FATHER, THAT
PEACE, THAT JOY.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD. AS WE BELIEVE IN THE PROMISES
OF THY SON, OF THY SAINTS, OF THY LIFE - AS MANIFESTED IN ME
- LET THAT LIFE IN ME BE PERFECT IN THEE; THAT THE CHRIST MAY
BE GLORIFIED AS HE HAS PROMISED TO THE EARTH.
Again: FATHER, GOD, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT
IN THEM ARE, I CLAIM SONSHIP, KINSHIP, TO THEE IN CHRIST -
JESUS - WHO GAVE THAT WHAT WE ASK IN HIS NAME MAY BE DONE IN
MY BODY. GIVE, FATHER, THAT THOU SEEST I HAVE NEED OF, NOW.
Again: LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH, THE PURPOSES OF MY HEART,
THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH, BE ATTUNED TO THE LOVE OF THE
FATHER THAT I MAY SHOW TO THE SONS OF MEN.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD, FORGET NOT THY PROMISES TO HEAR
WHEN THY CHILDREN CRY UNTO THEE. HEAR, O FATHER, IN MY
WEAKNESS. MAKE ME STRONG BY THY MIGHT, THAT I MAY BE A
LIVING EXAMPLE OF THE LOVE OF THE FATHER TO THE CHILDREN
OF MEN.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD, LET ME BE JOYOUS IN THY
PROMISES. LET ME BE WHAT THOU HAST PURPOSED THAT I SHOULD
BE AMONG MY FELLOW MEN: AND MAY IT BE ALL TO THE GLORY OF
GOD, THE GIVER OF ALL GOOD AND PERFECT GIFTS.
Again: OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BY THY NAME,
IN ALL THE EARTH. LET THY PEACE AND THY LOVE HEAL THE ERRORS
OF MY WAYS, THAT I MAY INDEED CLAIM THY PROMISES TO THE
CHILDREN OF MEN.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD, LET THE LIGHT OF THY LOVE SO
ILLUMINE MY MIND AND MY BODY THAT IT MAY FULFILL IN THE
EARTH THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT CAME INTO BEING - NOW.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD, KEEP ME IN THY REMEMBRANCE EVEN
AS I KEEP THEE AND THY LOVE IN REMEMBRANCE BY THAT I SHOW IN
MY LIFE TO MY FELLOW MEN; THAT I MAY BE A CHANNEL OF HELP,
OF HOPE, OF BLESSINGS TO OTHERS.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD. FILL MY LIFE, MY MIND, MY BODY,
WITH THE LOVE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS, IN SUCH MEASURES THAT MY
BODY, MY MIND, MAY BE HEALED FROM THAT WHICH WOULD HINDER IN
THAT GREAT SERVICE OF LOVE FOR OTHERS.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD. LET THE HEAVEN OF CONSCIOUSNESS
OF THE PRESENCE OF THE CHRIST LIGHT MY PATHWAY OF CHOICE:
THAT I MAY CHOOSE IN THIS LIFE TO BE THAT FOR WHICH THY
PURPOSES BROUGHT ME INTO BEING - NOW.
Again: OUR FATHER, OUR GOD. MAY THE JOY AND THE LOVE OF
THEE SO FILL MY LIFE, MY HEART, MY DESIRES AND PURPOSES, THAT
I MAY BE FILLED WITH THE JOY AND PEACE OF THE LORD - NOW.
(Q) We submit at this time two new forms for Glad Helpers
Blanks used to send to those on prayer lists. Please comment
on them. Copies are held in my hand.
(A) These, as we find, are very good. Change sufficiently
oft that those receiving same may look forward to a service
being rendered them by those that minister in such offices.
Let each of the members of the prayer group, the Glad
Helpers, realize that your personality must be lost in the
love of service to others; yet that personal consideration
as may be given any on the prayer group or prayer list
becomes personal, even as it is said of Him, "and he looked
on him and loved him."
So you each will find a helpfulness in yourselves, and a
service to those on the list, by there occasionally being
given - or the choosing to send - a cheery word to those who
have asked to be remembered by the Glad Helpers in their
prayer.
Hence though it only be a word remember - take time to be
holy; this means to find time to speak a kind word.
(Q) Please check our Glad Helpers work and advise what
changes may be made that would be beneficial to the work.
(A) It's just been given.
(Q) Please give suggestions and plan as to how our work
should be presented at the coming Congress.
(A) Hold an ideal meeting. Take the prayer list - let as
many as will write before time and have much of an EXPERIENCE
meeting.
For if you in your hearts have felt or do feel that you have
brought comfort or hope or purpose (note the words!) in the
lives of others, then you have indeed been an example for
others seeking - in truth - to know SPIRITUAL work.
And unless the aim of the prayer group or Glad Helpers is to
fulfill such a place, you have lost sight of that whereunto
you were called.
In presenting such a meeting, let it be not long drawn out,
nor yet so crisp or snappy as to lose its purpose; inviting
all to join that will. For His promises - the last - are
that whosoever will may take of the cup and drink deep.
(Q) Please comment on the following as possible parts of
the Congress program on healing -
(A) (Interrupting) Rather use that as suggested, in that
each will have a report from one or more as to a service
given; as well as there being present those who have at one
period or another been upon the prayer list - and ask that
they say Yea or Nay.
(Q) [
993]: Please give me enlightenment concerning that
which took place in my forehead while meditating Monday
afternoon, May 17th, and have had before and since, but of
not such a long period, like an opening and shutting of a
valve, and was heard by another person in the room.
(A) This, as you have knowledge of, is the opening of the
centers along the cord of life, and - as there were physical
obstructions - produced a physical sound when opened by the
raising of the vibrations through the body.
This and such experiences then become ASSURANCES: not
boastful, not overlording, but producing in the positive
consciousness the physical activity of which you have a
mental knowledge.
(Q) Considering the group as a whole, when we come together
for meditation, should we use the intonations, singing, and
breathing as described in the Readings?
(A) You are in a material world. You are subject to the
laws of same. When you are moved by full accord, use the
intonations, the breathing, the posture; but let this be
rather as an outgrowth of attunement then the purpose FOR
attunement. For to be one mind, one purpose, one desire,
by and through a common cause, should bring - a unison of
thought.
If one begins and all join, wonderful; but do not find fault
that all are not in attune at once. Were all chosen to go
into the chamber of death? Were all chosen to go to the
mount of transfiguration? Were all chosen to act when the
five thousand were fed? There you find, in the various
experiences, numbers or different ones among the twelve
taking the leading role - as you do at the Last Supper,
as you do at the Cross, as you do in the Garden, as you
do on Resurrection Morn.
So, in your meetings, let this be a service of joy; for
you call yourselves (and well so) Glad Helpers. Then ACT
like it!
We are through for the present.
