The Christ - Poem

The Christ is ready, quick in emergency - when no other person is present.

The Christ is in the Present Time.

The Christ is in the present day.

The Christ is in the present moment.

The Christ is in the present juncture.

The Christ is in the present occasion.

The Christ is in these times,

The Christ is in the existing time.

The Christ is in the time being; 

today, these days, nowadays, in this century.

The Christ is in each in each and every day, hour, age. 

The Christ time is now because I am now.

Dear Father/Mother God,

Dear Father/Mother God, 

I am your humble, wiling and obedient servant.  

I answer to You, and only to You, 
                                                            divine Principle. 

I REJOICE, [v.i. rejois''.To experience joy and gladness in a high degree;]Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913 + 1828) 

that you are my God, divine Spirit and governing all that I am and do.  

Thank you for healing and answering my prayers.  

To day, some daily good I have to do,

 for all that I do,

 I do so in your name and in consonance with your peace broker,

                                                                                                                      divine Love.  

Lying Lips

Psalms 31:1 (to ;), 18 (to ;)

"In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; . . . Let the lying lips be put to silence;" (KJV) (also listed in the Golden Text of mybiblesson.com)

Every time we place our trust in "Our Father/Mother God, All-Harmonious," (Science & Health with key to the Scriptures, p. 16) we enter the realm of the kingdom of heaven and nothing can counter the weight of Truth, divine Principle.  Life is not in matter and it never has been in matter for Life is God and God is All.  

Human opinion, events, circumstances, do not now nor have they ever been in charge of Life, God, nor the power that Life, God, is, for only Love is Life, God.  Aligning our thought with divine Spirit, negates the suggestions and supposed influence that is not in Spirit.  Jesus proved time and time again the power of divine Spirit over the claims of the body, human opinion and matter based logic.

So, think and act in accordance with the divine law of Love.   Shut the door on the "Lying Lips," and confidently rejoice in divine Truth, God. 

Exploring divine Soul

"In the scientific relation of man to God, man is reflected not as a human soul, but as the divine ideal, whose Soul is not in body, but is in God,- the divine Principle of man."  Unity of Good. p. 51

I love the word soul and it is particularly important in considering our view point towards others and our relations to them.  Keeping an articulate, spiritual perspective, continues a fresh and pro-growth attitude for future relations.   Broadening the human viewpoint is accomplished when the height, might and infinite power of divine Soul is front and center in all our activities. 

Standing with Daniel

How many times have I been undaunted in the face of overwhelming adversity?   Have I given into intimidation or been discouraged by what someone said?  Have I been disappointed by an outcome I had not expected or a series of events outside of my control?  

In fact this past week, I felt imprisoned by several instances that occurred in our family and to me personally.   I witnessed the events at our embassies and the rage that criticism and fear incited in the mobs.  I found myself feeling really disappointed and discouraged.

So, I was led to pray about these questions in conjunction with studying the story of Daniel found in the Christian Science Bible Lesson on Matter.  mybiblelesson.com

I discovered from studying Daniel that whomever conspires together can never intimidate, harm or influence me when I am committed to serving God, divine Love.  Aligning my consciousness with God, is the protection and sophistication that I need to defeat and defend against fear, intimidation and criticism. 

The poem I found from the Christian Science Sentinel was very helpful in uplifting my thought  and inspiring me to new thinking.


Standing

HENRY EDISON WILLIAMS

From the July 18, 1931 issue of the Christian Science SentinelDaniel stood 

Undaunted when,
Imprisoned in the lions' den,
He faced their wrath with vision clear,
Retreated not as they crouched near,
Nor threatened with uplifted rod—
But smiled, and humbly spoke with God.
For Daniel knew his God was good;
And Daniel stood.

Shall I not stand
Undaunted, free,
When bestial senses roar at me,
And face with love instead of wrath
The lions crouching in my path?
Shall I not stand as Daniel stood,
And silently commune with good?
Since Daniel's God is e'er at hand—
Shall I not stand?

Spirit

Luke 4:16-18

“God's Spirit is on me;
      he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to
       the poor,
   Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
      recovery of sight to the blind,
   To set the burdened and battered free,
      to announce, "This is God's year to act!"     

                                    

                                                   The Message (MSG)

Making a declaration  that "God's Spirit is on me" and striving to see that truth in all that one does in good is acting in faith and demonstrating Spirit.  

"Is our thinking clear, focused, alert and sharp—inspired?"

"Is our thinking clear, focused, alert and sharp—inspired?"  (Some fundamentals of Christian Science healing  Bill Moody,Reprinted from the May 2011 issue of The Christian Science Journal.)

Good questions to consider!  


"On one occasion, a young practitioner, Lady Victoria Murray, had come from England to see Mrs. Eddy. During their talk about how she healed, Eddy said: “Keep your violin in tune.” Then with emphasis she repeated, “Keep your violin in tune” (see Yvonne Caché von Fettweis and Robert Townsend Warneck,Mary Baker Eddy: Christian Healer, Amplified Edition, pp. 264–265)."  (Some fundamentals of Christian Science healing, Bill Moody,Reprinted from the May 2011 issue of The Christian Science Journal.)

I remember when I first started playing the guitar, I was amazed how experienced guitar players could sit down grab my guitar and tune it to sound perfectl and in complete harmony.  I am not exactly sure when I mastered that skill but I watch my kids faces when I pick up my instrument the way my instructor did and produce the same result.

Some fundamentals of Christian Science healing

I Live in Spirit

I live in Spirit; my life is Spirit.  

All that I am is the perfect expression of Spirit. 

Spirit is with me when I sleep at night.  

Spirit is with me when I wake in the morning! 

Spirit is with me when I am Parent.

Spirit is with me when I am Spouse.

Spirit is with me when I am sibling. 

Spirit is with me in the Practice of Christian Science.

Spirit is with me when I move from place-to-place.


Spirit is with me when I work.

Spirit is with me when I am  . . .

Spirit governs me, right here and right now!  

God is Spirit!

While praying this morning, I found these comforting words written by Mary Baker Ebby.

"In times like these it were well to lift the veil on the sackcloth of home, where weepeth the faithful, stricken mother, and the bruised father bendeth his aching head; where the bereft wife or husband, silent and alone, looks in dull despair at the vacant seat, and the motherless little ones, wondering, huddle together, and repeat with quivering lips words of strange import. May the great Shepherd that "tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," and binds up the wounds of bleeding hearts, just comfort, encourage, and bless all who mourn.

Father, we thank Thee that Thy light and Thy love reach earth, open the prison to them that are bound, console the innocent, and throw wide the gates of heaven."

Miscellaneous Writings, p.275

Healing equates to Openness

On Wednesday evening I attended the Weekly Wednesday Testimonial meeting at Second Church of Christ Scientist in Fresno, CA.  The hyms were inspiring and I thoroughly enjoyed singing the healing words with the congregation.  

As the reader began her readings on Christian Healing from the New King James Version of the Bible, a theme for me began to be revealed, that Christian Healing equates to openness.

She began her readings with a scripture from Romans that posed the question, "What if some did not believe?" 

That got my attention and opened my thought to receive the Christ!

The Christ revealed to me through out the service, that God is the very source of openness at all times.  He is always open for me and every one of His perfect ideas.  

God is open for business, the business of Christian Healing.  The Christ is here and now and filling all consciouness with the healing power of the Holy Ghost. 

Yes, I felt and experienced the Christ as a result of attending this service and the readings the dear Reader had so thoughtfully put together to share with the congreagation.  I saw and experienced that this Church is alive with spiritual inspiration based on God centered activity and Christian Healing inspired by the Bible.
