You woke up in the morning with the Sunrise in your eyes, but all that she is seeing is darkness, and she will not tell you why. No more butterflies because they do not never last, stolen from the light by demons of the past. It is always raining, but she keeps on praying. Pain, sorrow, and illness are experiences we all share—the moments of mishap, misery, and misfortune can add up to a sizable memory on your soul’s own internal hard drive. When it comes to our physical well-being, we accept gaining and illness as part of our mortal journey. We seek the counsel of professionals who understand the physical body. When we suffer from emotional distress or our psychological fitness is diminished, we seek the help of experts who treat these kinds of disorders. Oh, sunny days, lift me when I am down. Oh, sunny days, break you through the clouds. Just as we face physical and emotional trials in this mortality, we also face spiritual challenges. Most of us have experiences times in our lives when our testimony burns brightly. We also may have experiences times when our Heavenly Father seems distant. There are times when we treasure things of the Spirit with all our hearts. There may also be times when they appear less precious or of diminished significance. #RandolphHarris 1 of 9
When we think of spiritual wellness—how can we find healing from stagnation and walk a path of vibrant spiritual health? She keeps on praying. All she needs is shelter, shelter for the night. And this one could be Heaven, but she is looking down the line. Sometimes spiritual illness comes as a result of sin or emotion wounds. In many cases, spiritual breakdowns come so gradually that we can scarcely tell what is happening. Like layers of pain, spiritual pain and grief can build over time, weighing upon our spirits until it is almost too heavy to bear. However, most people are trying to do whatever they can to live by the law. Last night, I had a dream that Samantha Stephens punished her son Little Darrin for lying. To some people, lies are very serious because when people tell a story, which is untrue, it erodes your trust from them and you can never tell if you can trust anything they are saying. When people lie to us, we might even feel as though we have no more to give or that they do not rely on the living commandments of God, which is where our strength comes from. Lying can create a kind of neurotic disturbance, and cause people to quarrel or indicate signs of dissatisfaction outwardly. Lying can also get people killed, arrested, or in some other way ruin their lives, and cause irreversible damage. #RandolphHarris 2 of 9
Also, lying can leave people feeling puzzled and afraid. It is sad when a person is around you and because you lie, they are never sure of what to feel or think because there is always an element of the unknown, the mysterious, in the atmosphere. As a result, people may withdraw into a World of their own, daydreams, remain remote, and retain the same attitude in their love relationships later on. Furthermore, the withdrawal results in the development of intense stress, a feeling of not being firmly grounded in the World, and often leads to masochistic tendencies as the only way to experience intense excitement. There was this new manager or an apartment complex, and she has some kind of psychological fitness injury and had a man go inspect the apartment units, and he went into the bedroom, without the man of the house knowing, and tossed the sheets around. When the man of the house came home, the little girl who witnessed this man in the bedroom told her daddy. He jammed his wife up and, although she never lied, the man did not believe that the manager told man to go in her bedroom and toss the sheets around. She even said, I swear,” with her right hand on the Bible. So he got upset, thought she was cheating, and in the heat of the movement choked her out until her neck started to bleed. #RandolphHarris 3 of 9
Unfortunately, the man of the house was arrested and the family fell behind on bills because he had to take time off work and hire a lawyer. Although she showed her husband the inspection notice, it said nothing about anyone being required to inspect the sheets. So, it was a huge misunderstanding started by a manager who was looking to upset families because she is evil. However, just because spiritual trials are real does not mean that they are incurable. If we carefully look into the deep meaning of the laws of God, we find they were all designed to reveal one divine presence to the undisciplined mind. Our study and reading are a process of disciplining our own thoughts to grow into greater spiritual understanding. We can still love people in spite of their mistakes, they are still family. You have it in you to respect what your family members have to say and forgive them. Look at your beautiful family, look at yourself, you are the change that counts. We must understand that human life and consequences are real. We have to look at life with the universal law of cause and effect by introducing the personal factor. It is important to proclaim that the life of God is in us and the law of God is operating through us. #RandolphHarris 4 of 9
Although the media is bashing America, and trying to spread anti-American sentiment, do not buy into it. You should still be proud to be American. What they are trying to do is take America down being, arguably, the best, riches, and most beautiful country in the World. Foreign governments are trying to make Americans feel shamed of who they are, to rob you of your spirit and empower their own countries. When you hear reporters reporting lies on the television, or in the newspaper, write them a letter, and jam them up about disrespecting your home, but be respectful about it, and do NOT threaten them. You do not want these people spreading propaganda to have any reason to get you jammed up in the legal system. Behind the individuality is the Spiritual oneness of God, which holds us all together in unity and love. When you receive the divine presence of God, impart it to others that you love. Recognize that truth itself is Universal and belongs to all people. God is the great law-giver, and there is something beyond even the law, which is love. Always remember that family comes first. God is not coming to destroy, but to fulfill his promise of eternal. We can heal spiritually and respect all cultures and obey the laws of the land. #RandolphHarris 5 of 9
On my way to my mother’s house, which is in Southern Sacramento, California USA, I saw a field of cows and it made me smile because Sacramento is a cow-town, with a lot of trees and house. My mother bought her house when there were still gravel roads and when target was located on part of a farm. I was happy to see the cows because it means Sacramento is being true to what it is. A valley, with family values. It is not a big, fancy city like New York. Diversity is good. Keep in mind, the deepest spiritual wounds—even those that may appear to be incurable—can be healed. God’s healing touch can transform lives in our day. If we have faith, God can take our hands, fill our souls with Heavenly light and healing, and speak to us blessed words. When we find the meaning of God’s teaching, we shall have found the key to our own freedom. Our trouble has been that we have not discovered that this key which unlocked the doorway to the larger life is in our own mouth. Whatever causes our spiritual aliments, they all have one thing in common, the absence of divine light. Darkness reduces our ability to see clearly. It dims our vision of that which was at one time plain and clear. #RandolphHarris 6 of 9
When we are in darkness, we are more likely to make poor choices because we cannot see the dangers in our path. When we are in darkness, we are more likely to lose hope because we cannot feel the peace and joy that awaits us if we just keep pressing on. The law of God is a law of emancipation of humanity—which means the freedom of each of us. We must never lose sight of the necessity of looking for the light and seeing things as they really are. Truth allows us to discern between truth and error, between the vital and the trivial. When we are in the light, we can make righteous choices based on true principles. We come to the full meaning of building the Kingdom of God, and to form a new philosophy for living. We must treat others how we want to be and expect to be treated. We must have the courage to announce, without qualification and without limitation, that the same power that created everything and holds everything in place is also at the very center of our own being. We will find spiritual healing as we step away from the shadows of the World and into the everlasting light of God. To refuse to pick it up would be to stand in darkness when there is light at hand. How can we see the light of God, unless we recognize its presence? #RandolphHarris 7 of 9
The more we understand and apply the doctrinal concept of light, the more we can guard against spiritual sickness that afflict or trouble us on every side and hand, and the better we can serve as energetic, courageous, caring, and humble bearers of the holy soul that God has blessed us with. There is a power, a strong influence, that emanates from God. It proceeds forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space. Because this power enlightens, uplifts, and illuminates our lies, the scriptures often call it light, but it is also referred to as spirit and truth. We are on the pathway of an eternal evolution, the purpose of which is to produce in the individual everything that is inherent in the nature of the divine. To feel we are back with this fundamental unity, to commune with it, to experience the beneficence of its presence, recognized and understood, is what is meant by divine. This profound experience—that light is spirit, which is truth, and that that light shines upon every soul who comes into the World—this is important and hopeful. The light of God enlightens and saturates the souls of all who hearken to the voice of the spirit. #RandolphHarris 8 of 9
In the confines of a photograph lives a child who once was me, oh do you see? I still see through those eyes, why did you choose to believe bare-faced lies and let the troubles of others darken your skies? Your soul is good! In the remnants of our time, I wake to find, you have broken me. Used to be free, but in the pain, I chose to stay. Why did you choose to believe things unkind? Oh, hallelujah! Heaven is in your mind. Yes, your soul is good. Everyone will arrive at the same place, for God is incarnated in all. It is still necessary to understand that, while we are often surrounded by negative conditions that certainly seems evil, evil is never a thing in itself. Therefore, Good finally must triumph over evil, even though it appears as though there were some struggles between the powers of light and darkness. The Universe is a spiritual system and we are some part of it; God is right where we are and is discovered at the center of our own being. We meet the great reality in the only place we shall ever discover it, within our own hearts and souls and minds. The light of God fills the Universe and it can fill every heart. God’s light is available to all—great, small, rich, poor, privileged or disadvantaged. #RandolphHarris 9 of 9
