TEXT

1. EC: "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me."
2. Thou hast seen and heard how that "My Spirit beareth witness" in the experience of those that seek to do His biddings, who would make of themselves channels that the glory of the Father may be manifested through the Son and those that have loved His ways.
3. Then, trouble not thine self that there are those things in the material that would make for dissension and for trouble in the body, in the mind. Put thy trust rather in those things that are revealed in thy experience. For, these be they that will make thee more and more aware of "My Presence" in the earth. Be not overcome of those evil influences that are abroad, but rather give place to those things that will strengthen and sustain thee.
4. Let thy supplication be: "RENEW THY SPIRIT IN ME DAY BY DAY. CREATE THAT IN MY ENVIRON THAT WILL MAKE FOR LOVE, PATIENCE, TRUTH, THAT THE LIGHT OF MINE COUNTENANCE AND COUNSEL WILL BE IN THY EXPERIENCE MORE AND MORE." For, the Lord's ways may be thy ways, if thou wilt let self and self's personal desires give place to the glory of those that would come in thine consciousness, that may be glorified indeed in Him. He is in His holy temple; let the earth keep silent. And there will be builded in thine experience those glories of the material things that make for joy and beauty and peace and harmony in thy soul.
5. Let those things most precious in thine experience be manifested the more in thy activity day by day. Thus may ye come into the house of the Lord and know His ways are thy ways.
6. Let joy fill thy BEING. Let praise be given in THEE and thy activity. Let thy speech, thy thoughts, thy acts, be one with the Oneness of purpose in Him.
7. Keep the way open. Block not thyself from receiving Him, for He knocks at the door of thy consciousness. Wilt thou not let Him in? "I am the way, the truth, the light." Know that in Him is the light that will shine to the inmost recesses of thine heart, thine consciousness; yea, thy mind and thine soul will rejoice in the Lord. He will do thee good.
8. We are through.
