TEXT

1. GC: In appreciation of the help that has been given the soul of [378] through this channel, we ask that it be continued. And whatever information we or the [378] family should have, you will give it.
2. EC: (For five minutes he spoke in such an undertone that nothing could be understood, except towards the last the word "Philadelphia"; then:)
3. The conditions are clearing in thine own consciousness. Then, act on the impulses that prompt thee to make a more determined effort in trusting HIS promises that what is asked in His name, BELIEVING, that ye may have, that the Father may be glorified in Him and He in thee.
4. Make the effort to come to the more perfect understanding of these promises being not only something to say, think, or that refer to those things that bespeak of the spiritual only, but are those forces and influences that will bring them into the experience of those that practice them in their daily experience.
5. Love life in such measures as to live the way that will make thy efforts, and thy mind, and thine self, flourish as the bay tree, that will make those things that have tempted thee as NAUGHT in thine experience.
6. The unkindness can only be met with kindness, if ye would have those promises thine! The slights, the slurs, the unkind acts and words of others should not - and WILL NOT - break thy spirit nor thy purposes, if those purposes are founded in truth, in light, in Christ Jesus! For, He is able to sustain thee, if thou wilt but put thy whole trust in Him. Not as one far away. Not as one in another realm of experience, but one that may walk and talk with thee WHERE thou art! One that may guide in the words thou wilt say. Stand not in awe of Him because thou hast faltered, but take hold on those things that are being presented thee in thine thoughts, in thine very soul, as concerning that thou shouldst do. For, ALL will come in a way and manner that will not break thine spirit - if it is putting its trust in Him.
7. We are through.
