7-7-19 – MEDITATION AND THE MIND OF CHRIST: Healing the Subconscious and Living as Spirits in the Material World, Part I

Today’s Confession/Declaration:

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN:
(Presence of Divine Love and Light that lives within us and within all of life)
HALLOWED BY THY NAME:
(We invoke the powerful creative nature of all that is sacred and holy)
THY KINGDOM COME:
(We embrace the healing essence that is the Kingdom of Heaven within us)
THY WILL BE DONE:
(We accept our greatest good as we align with our Divine Nature)
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN:
(Knowing that the affairs of our lives reflect our evolving consciousness)
GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD:
(Each day, we receive great blessings from within and throughout all the activities of our lives)
AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US:
(We accept the Divine Nature of all things and all people, including ourselves, as we move away from judgment and toward greater awareness of Divine Presence)
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION:
(We shall be vigilant in expressing and experiencing the Oneness with all life)
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL:
(As we are learning to live without faultfinding and suffering)
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER:
(For we accept the consciousness of Divine Perfection with all its power and glory right here, right now and forever)
AMEN:
(And so It is!)

I – “So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God.”
(Exodus 4:16 – NKJV)

II – “So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.”
(Exodus 7:1 – NKJV)

III – “I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”
(Psalms 82:6, 7 – NKJV)

IV – “Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
(John 10:31-35 – NKJV)

V – “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

6-16-19 – THE SIGNS AND WONDERS LIFESTYLE: Developing the Supernatural and Creating the Miraculous, Part III

Today’s Notes:
I – “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
(Matthew 19:26 – NKJV)

II – Sometimes all you can do is NOT think, NOT wonder, NOT imagine, NOT obsess. Just breathe and have faith because miracles do happen.

III – “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

IV – “Never allow fear to keep you from creating your own miracle. There are unlimited options at your disposal for creating any magical experience safely if you access the wisdom of your heart and make the choice to walk in the light.”
― Molly Friedenfeld

V – “I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”
– Charles de Lint

VI –”Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
-Albert Einstein

VII – If you don’t believe in miracles, perhaps its because you’ve forgotten you are one.

Bishop Jim’s insightful messages help others find THEIR METRON through M~otivation E~nlightenment T~ranscendence R~enewal O~utreach and N~etworking

Today’s Notes:

I – “Peter continued, “People of Israel, listen to the facts. Jesus, the Victorious,was a Man on a divine mission whose authority was clearly proven. For you know how God performed many powerful miracles, signs, and wonders through him.”
(Acts 2:22 – TPT)

II – “And the apostles went out announcing the good news everywhere, as the Lord himself consistently worked with them, validating the message they preached with miracle-signs that accompanied them!”
(Mark 16:20 – TPT)

III – “You’ll be happy to know that the universal law that created miracles hasn’t been repealed.”
– Wayne Dyer

IV – ‘When you overcome your senses, when you understand that you are not bound by the chains of your past—when you live a life that is greater than your body, your environment, and time—all things are possible. The universal intelligence that animates the existence of all things will both surprise and delight you. It wants nothing more than to provide you with access to all you want.’
– Dr. Joe Dispenza

V – “Beyond the mind, at the deepest level of consciousness, resides the spirit. This is the part of us that is eternal, unchanging, and imbued with pure unlimited potential. Tapping into this potential is what enables us to manifest miracles.”
– Deepak Chopra

VI – “Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

VII – Meme – I am realistic. I expect miracles.

I – “And these signs shall follow them that believe…”
(Mark 16:17 – NKJV)

II – “Miracles happen, not in opposition to nature, but in opposition to what we know of nature.” – St. Augustine of Hippo

III – “And so people ask God for signs and wonders. Yet when signs are given and wonders are performed, most can’t even see them! I therefore believe that it’s not signs people should be asking God for; but you should be asking God for Sight!” ― C. JoyBell C.

IV – “As long as you are thinking equal to your environment, you keep creating the same life. To truly change is to think greater than your environment. To think greater than the circumstances in your life, to think greater than the conditions in the world.”- Dr. Joe Dispenza

V – “Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you. – Jon Bon Jovi

VI – Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see. – C.S. Lewis

VII – meme – WE LIVE ON A BLUE PLANET THAT CIRCLES AROUND A BALL OF FIRE NEXT TO A MOON THAT MOVES THE SEA, AND YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

5-12-19 – ADVENTURES IN MEDITATION: Finding God in the Space Between Your Thoughts, Part II

Today’s Quotes:

–“And you, who once were alienated and enemies IN YOUR MIND by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled.”
(Colossians 1:21 – AMPC)

–“We have between 60,000- and 80,000 thoughts a day. That’s a thought every 1.2 seconds…but we are not our thoughts – we have thoughts. Just like a cell phone is not our texts…it receives texts but they are not the phone. You have thoughts but you are not your thoughts.” ― Davidji

–Jesus’ word for repent simply means return, it does not mean repentance at all. It means, turn in, return to the source. It means, return to your own being. That’s what meditation is all about: returning to the source, returning to the center of the cyclone, returning to your very being. –OSHO
