God formed the World, the intelligible World, subsisting in the Divine Mind, and love serves as a pattern for the production of the material World. The pulse of God courses through everything and everyone and the Holy Spirit is the Lord’s animating power. The Lord and the Holy Spirit dwelling is us, suffusing us with grace and love. God loves us, and he intends for us to become like him. The heart is the love center. Love is the World’s greatest attractive power. The heart of human beings must be aglow with God’s love, and then it becomes a magnet drawing all good from every direction. The laws of nature are not invented in the minds of people; on the contrary, external factors force us to recognize them. Some of these laws, such as the principle of least action exhibit a rational World order and thereby reveal an omnipotent reason which rules over nature. There is no contradiction between religion and natural science; rather, they supplement and condition each other. When we think about the love of God drawing to us substance necessary for support and supply, that substance begins to accumulate all around us, and as we abide in the consciousness of it, it begins to manifest itself in all our affairs. There is a tide to be taken now in the affairs of the Earth which will lift us up and carry us forward as never before. Let us keep our faith beautifully simple. The Lord will lead us along, and he will be in our midst and not forsake us. #RandolphHarris 1 of 6
Keeping the natural law, with its commands that are written by God in every human heart, and being ready to obey him, live honorably and uprightly, can, with the power of Divine light and grace helping them, attain eternal life. For God, who clearly sees, searches out, and knows the minds, hearts, thoughts, and dispositions of all, in his great goodness and mercy does not by any means suffer a person to be punished with eternal torments, who is not guilt of voluntary faults. That clearly allows for everyone to be saved. The experience of God’s love is a force of revolutionary power. By loosing the strictures of guilt, fear, and self-centeredness, it enables the disciples to love our neighbors to a degree of which we have never before been capable. This brings us to the creeds, for these are attempts of early Christian mind to understand conceptually the happening which has produced this change in their lives. The impact of Christ on our lives led simultaneously in two directions. Overtly it leads to acts of loving kindness toward our fellow human beings; intellectually it leads to the creeds. God called us to watch over and help people in all their struggles for physical and spiritual well-being. God called us to help by the Spirit. He called us to teach by the Spirit. God also called us to love what we teach, and he called us to bear testimony and he called us to love them. God did not make it hard just to test us. He gave us so high a calling because he loves us. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6
God wants us home again, and to get there we have to become like him. So, God gives us a calling that can only be done with persistence and endurance. Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. It includes the release of counterproductive, negative thoughts as well as holding in mind statements of spiritual Truth. Through prayer and meditation, we experience the presence of God, as our awareness is heightening, and thereby transforming our lives. Centered in God, assured by faith and prospered by Divine Love, we boldly move forward to serve humanity by building unity. We affirm that the Universe is in Divine Order and we give thanks. We are hear to fulfill our ultimate goal, that is to know and experience God. Coming from this is to know and experience God. Coming from this place of Spirit, we manifest all of the good that God has for our family according to the Divine Order. We need to have this spirit of repentance continually; we need to pray to God to show us our conduct every day. Every night before we retire to rest we should review the thoughts, words, and acts of the day and then repent of everything we have done that is wrong or that has grieved the Holy Spirit. Live this way every day and endeavor to progress every day. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6
Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes. God did not leave us along. He provided a guide—a spiritual road map—to help us achieve success in our journey. To reach our objective of eternal life, we need to follow teachings in the standard works and other revelations received from prophets of God. Let us pray both for forgiveness and to get answers about what to do for the family. It would help, if when we go, we tell them the Holy Ghost can guide them; it has already guided us to do something for them. If we pray and then feel that prompting and act on it, what we do may be more important than anything we say. Maybe our finding out how to help them will lead them to find out what more they can do for others they love. God’s presence guards and protects us, as he sustains and inspires our lives with his wisdom. We are created in the image of God and likeness of God. We joyously express life, love and intelligence of Spirit and develop perfectly in all ways. In our journey through life, we meet many obstacles and make some mistakes. Scriptural guidance helps us to recognize error and make the necessary correction. We stop going in the wrong direction. We carefully study the scriptural road map. Then we proceed with repentance and restitution required to get on the strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6
Spiritual change, accompanied by better decisions, does often lead to better circumstance financially. Courage is the inner resolution to move forward in spite of all obstacles and frightening situations. Indeed, for we have no been given the spirit of fears, but of power, love, and faith. “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give us the same attitude of mind toward each other that the Savior had, so that with one mind and once voice we may glorify God and the Father of our Savior. We must accept one another, then, the Savior will accept us. In order to bring praise to God,” reports Romans 15.5-7. The enemy is waiting to destroy, but our job is to stay close to the Lord and to let him direct our path and direction. We must keep our eyes on God, and watch his evolution of love overflow in any through us. We must be blessed in the name of the Lord, and we cannot et anything separate us from the Love of God, not death, principality, wickedness, envy, strife, nothing. We must try to live peaceably with all people. God loves us and he will never allow more to be put on us than we can bear. We must become equipped and ready to do the Lord’s will in our life. God is not unrighteous to forget our work, labor, and love, which we have showed toward his name. We must show the same diligence to the full assurance of hop unto the end; that we be not slothful, but followers of God through faith and patience and inherit the promises. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6
God shows justice for those who love him and endure until the end. Do not be weary, and do not faith, but just hold on to God’s unchanging hand; the Lord will grant us wisdom and peace. People feel and fear that you have more than what we actually need. Everybody is not happy for us, but we must stay the course and wait diligently on the Lord. God will give us the strength and show grace and mercy toward us. Do not worry about what people say and do, just put on the armor of righteousness and the shield of faith. We must let noting separate us from the love of God. Always keep the faith and stay on the course and see God reveal himself through us. Pray, pray, pray! We will see God come in and overshadow the enemy. Keep the faith, believe, and receive that which is already before us. Blessed is one who enters through the gate of righteousness than one who sits and leans toward others. Forgiveness is an inevitable part of life. People struggle with this area daily because they are constantly fighting in the flesh about why someone wronged them. Forgive people who owe you a debt; allow them to repay. When someone owes us, rather see to it that God guards our heart and gives us a heart of forgiveness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control,” reports Galatians 5.22-24. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
