Expression of the Soul Pronounces God’s Work to be Good

 

Because we are part of God, we have the power to think and create. Until now, we have not known that the power which has created physical infirmities may heal. God is eternal and can do all these things. We grow closer to the Savior as we, out of pure love, serve him. Our loving Heavenly Father hears us. The feeling of greatest importance is love. However, sometimes because we believe that which one is experiencing to be necessary, the experience is perpetuated. We all face situations that seem impossible and it is easy to become discouraged and think that things will never work out. However, God is going before us and correcting our difficulties. We may not have the connections at this very moment to accomplish our dreams, but we do not have to worry. God is going before us and lining up the right people. God is arranging the right breaks, and opportunities. We will find that the Lord puts helpers by our side—on our right, one our left, and all around us. “Lord God Omnipotent may seal us his, that we may be brought to Heaven, that we may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice and mercy of him who created all things, in Heaven and in Earth, who is God above all (Mosiah 5.15).” #RandolphHarris 1 of 6

By some divine intuition, by some inner whispering of our soul, by some light upon our path, we have progressed. God is our light, that urge, that whisper, and that voice. We need to receive this word from God in our spirit, and that will allow us to come out of the trouble quicker than we think. God is fighting our battles for us. We will get there quicker than we think. God will allow us to accomplish our dream much quicker than we think. Supernatural breaks are coming our way because God is crossing ahead of us. Besides God there is no other presence, no other animating principle. Wherever we look we will see God, and we will find God wherever we go. “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there by any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things (Philippians 4:8).” One who lets the World choose one’s plan of life for one has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. One who chooses one’s plan for oneself employs all one’s faculties. One must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when we have decided, firmness and self-control to hold our deliberate decision. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6

When we use the word God we mean the great reality, the infinity unity, the final truth back of all manifest life, the absolute or causeless cause, the one unconditioned, complete and perfect being—indivisible, changeless, and whole. All of these descriptive terms are synonymous with the word God. Moral knowledge necessary for virtue takes over 50 years of psychological and intellectual training. Our rational powers that are required for good moral character is not something that we can achieve on our own. The development and preservation of good moral character requires political institutions that promote the conditions under which self-love and friendship flourish. Character is shaped by the institutions of political, economic, and family life, then becoming good will require access to the appropriate institutions. However, this is not to suggest that becoming good is out of reach. The pleasing word of God shows the need for continuous repentance in our lives so we can keep the influence of the Holy Ghost. God will give us strength so we will not have to suffer any manner of affliction. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6

If the nature of God or reality were unhappiness, then the will of God would be toward unhappiness. The pleasing word of God fills us with hope, because we know that those who are faithful in tribulation will have the greater reward in the kingdom of Heaven and that after much tribulation come the blessings. Our divine inheritance is self-sufficiency, perfection, peace, wholeness, and this includes abundance, self-expression, accomplishment, and happiness. If the will of God is the will of abundance, it follows that God cannot will lack, want, or limitation. It follows that all bondage is of the human. All bondage is a result of a circumscribed viewpoint of reality. All affliction is the result of ignorance. Because of our psychological nature and because that which we think about tends to take place in our experience, it follows that if we believe God’s will is toward unhappiness and limitation we shall experience limitation resulting from such a belief. That is why it is so important that our consciousness be clear; that we should know what we really believe about God. Inevitably, what we believe about God influences our entire experience in life. “Receive the grace of God, wax strong in the spirit, having the knowledge of God, that we are taught with the power and authority from God (Mosiah 18.25).” #RandolphHarris 4 of 6

The will of God is never toward suffering. In the midst of all perplexities the cry for deliverance has risen. The intuition senses that deliverance is at hand, but the intellect does not comprehend the manner in which it may become manifest. Hence, the intuition proclaims that which the intellect does not understand, and human beings must constantly reaffirm our belief in the infinite goodness if we expect to exclude the idea of evil from our thought. God’s will for every person is happiness, peace, and joy. It also gives us the security that, after we have lived a faithful life, we will not lose any blessing for not having done certain things if we were never given the opportunity to do them. If we have lived faithfully until the time of our death, we will have all the blessings, exaltation, and glory that any man or woman (who has had that opportunity) will have. The ceaseless struggle for liberty manifest through the ages, the constant reaching out toward reality which has inspired all people to more noble efforts, are expressions of that which is largely an unconscious sense, that hope, which springs eternal in the human heart. God’s will is always toward life and more life. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6

How can the principle of life and harmony produce discord? We must believe that the will of God is happiness, healthiness, and eternal life. Then we shall have a strong spiritual and psychological background for our conviction that we too should experience God’s will. In the quest of the soul for its greatest Good, which is an inner contentment, we know that the will of God is serenity, security, and certainty. We must patiently, persistently, and insistently show people that the will of God cannot be toward anything other than that which is good; the will of God and the nature of God are identical and must forever remain so; there is nothing in the Universe which opposes their good except their misuse of the law which of itself is good. It is important that our daily activities do not distract us from listening to the spirit. God’s will most certainly is toward abundance. If we enjoy life, God is that much more completely expressed; the World is to that extent a happier place in which to live.  One must be ever mentally and physically clean and have purity of intent so that the Lord can inspire. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
