Peace and Good Will to All, and the Love that is shed abroad has gone forth and it is recreating the world and bringing all to their understanding, in reality GOD is Love. It is Wonderful!

While sitting I was thinking and looking over the resurrected ones. The Spirit has always been just what It is, and always will be, but as the Spirit is quickening in one and the individuals are made subject to the Spirit that is quickened in them and resurrected, the very physical bodies are changed by the renewing of the mind: they look different they think different and they act the same! The very physical body and their conscious mentality, they all are changed. In every thought and every mind you are made new, you are made pure and you are made clean, and through the transforming Spirit within it goes through every joint, every sinew every cell and every bone, and through every muscle and every vein. It causes you to be new, not only to look new, but to be new and regenerated and born again. Therefore we can see the great unfoldment of this great Love.

Charged With This Magnetic Current

It is the same as something that has been charged up with electricity. You can take the live rail for a comparison. Compare the live rail with the other rails side by side. The live rail carries the power and the power will carry things that are connected, or those things that are attached to it. It is Wonderful!

So, the very Spirit of the Presence of GOD, when it charges you up with this magnetic current of Infinite Love, you are completely different from what you were before this current of Life charged you up and charged you down. It charged you from the head down to the soles of your feet and you became to be a new creature physically as well spiritually. So, it is a wonderful thought to see and to know, this Spirit and this Love can charge you up so it would be a matter of impossibility for you to catch any sort of contagious diseases. You have been so vaccinated with this Infinite Spirit it is a vaccination that will answer every purpose for every sort or every kind of disease. It is Wonderful!

You can see them when they are charged up sure enough! Now look at them! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful!! This Spirit and this Life and this Love is the real expression that is the reality of that which was the sketch and the reflection of a percent of a percent of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the reality of this Infinite Life and this Infinite Love that will change your bodies and souls. It is Wonderful! In a parable the Message has been told, through and by the invention of electricity and the different minor inventions, for the mechanical attachments to and instruments of this electricity are just slight sketches and reflections of the percents that I have described, down to the lowest terms of your human intellect to cancellate. It is indeed Wonderful to see really what GOD can do and what He has done and still is doing, expressing Himself through and by the lives and bodies of men, and by the new inventions that are for the accommodation and the convenience of them.

Make Mental And Spiritual Contact

It is such a glorious privilege to see and to know, you are charged with this Infinite magnetic current of Love that transcends all human understanding, and therefore Christ being in every joint and every sinew, every cell and every bone as long as you stay attached in My version, to the Spiritual Realm we often use the phrase, make your mental and spiritual contact. In the mechanical world you would say, "attach it and it will contact" or, "let it be attached to this or to that and the current will be transmitted to the other connection." It is Wonderful! Make your mental and your spiritual contact and you can be charged with this Infinite current of Love and it would be a matter of impossibility for sickness, sorrow, pain or death to present itself or manifest itself in your physical bodily form, just as it is, or would be, for something to run on a live rail. It is Wonderful! It is charged with this mighty current, and it carries the Power within itself, transmitted through the Great Dynamo of Salvation, and they are stationed as it may appear to be, all along the way and yet it is but the self-same One expressed in many forms.

 

Victory In This Life

GOD is truly in the midst of thee, unfolding and manifesting Himself to the children of men, for you are Temples of the Living GOD, and GOD has said, "I will walk in them and dwell in them." It is Wonderful! Oh this glorious Light and Life wherein you cannot, if you are charged up, fear what may apparently come, for the very Spirit of GOD's Presence is sufficient to lift you above every opposition, every undesirable condition, for within this Principle, within this Light, within this Life and within this Love you have the Victory. You have the victory over every limitation and every undesirable condition, and over all adversities, whether they be mental, spiritual or physical difficulties. The very Spirit of GOD's Presence within is sufficient to give you the Power to overcome them. It is Wonderful!

 

GOD is Your Five Physical Senses

Therefore again I say, GOD is in the muscles in every muscle of your eye, and GOD truly is your sight, and GOD is incorruptible and undefiled and fadeth not away. GOD is Pure and Perfect today as He was yesterday, and shall forever be! If you believe that, and can convince yourself that GOD is your five physical senses, then and there as here and now with Me, your five physical senses will function effectively and will prove to be satisfactory. It is Wonderful! They will stand and withstand every seeming opposition and they will express and manifest perfection, by you recognizing GOD your great Creator and knowing for yourself GOD is both it and them. Then and there, you will know as well as I, your five physical senses cannot fail. If your mental senses fail, so will you fail and so will your five physical senses fail, but if you are transformed by the renewing of your mind, your physical senses will also be renewed by the recognition of this Principle that is the Author and the Finisher. It is Wonderful! Being the Creator, the Maker, and the Beginning and the End, being all that there is, this Principle is willing to express itself in the way of positiveness when you begin to think positive thoughts concerning Him within.

 

Expressers of The Positive Concept

I, in My Consciousness, have the concept of perfect expression from every version, and such declaration as would be termed affirmations make I unto you, or in the midst of you, that you might see and know and understand that if your affirmation be positive, you will through your positive affirmations bring forth to fruition the very positive expression in words, in deeds and in actions, and even in your physical appearance GOD will express perfectly through you according to the perfection of your positive speaking. It is Wonderful! I do not mean to say from an intellectual point of view that of the mortal version, but I do mean to say, speaking positiveness concerning CHRIST your great CREATOR, and not slacking up on the line in the least as though there would be a doubt concerning you and yourself and the desirable expression of good in accord with you and yours. The desirable expression of good, they are in perfect harmony with ME and with Mine and therefore I speak positive Words concerning both it and them and I bring them forth in outer expression on the material plane.

 

Act Out Positiveness

Therefore you can see and know, from henceforth the very words that you speak, if they be positive words of Truth, GOD will make them real unto you as it and they have been made real unto Him that speaketh them. It is Wonderful! Positiveness is a great essential to have positive thoughts and to speak positive words, and also to act in a positive way and act in a way of success and prosperity. Act out these conditions, and they will be explained in your real experiences mentally and spiritually, and the very Presence of GOD will unfold to you the deeper meanings thereof and will make it plain to you and to others, the thing you have visualized has been made real in your experiences. Speaking in a positive way, thinking the same, and living in a positive expression, not thinking and acting in a doubtful way, you will make your grade not feeling, "Maybe I may make it," but knowing within yourselves you WILL make it! It is Wonderful! "Faith is the substance of the things hoped for, it is the evidence of things not seen," and by Faith you can enjoy the positiveness of things that have not yet been, but they WILL be as you live in the positive state of consciousness concerning them. If you live in a negative state of consciousness concerning them why, you will bring them to a standstill and they cannot be brought to fruition in your experience.

 

Having Faith to Believe

Every one of you have some thought as to going some place tonight. I don't believe one of you would doubt that you would go tom bed! Now that is faith! You believe in material things. Truly might have CHRIST, the great Love Master said, in Person, "if I tell you of earthly things and you believe them not, how should it be if I would tell you of Heavenly things?" or how would it be, whichever. So it is with earthly things, GOD will tell you concerning them in thought and in mind, and you believe them. You have faith to believe you will go to bed somewhere tonight, yet you have not gone, but when you put your thought out it is put out in a positive way of expression. You do not have the least thought that you will not go. You have the thought just to the reverse you WILL go. That is something unseen.

If you would send your child out for a loaf of bread and if you sent the money, you would feel sure he would return with the bread. You would prepare the other part of your meal and have it in readiness when he returned. You would not be the least doubtful of his returning with it. Then how much more faith should you have in GOD, your great CREATOR ? It is Wonderful! Speaking and acting in positiveness, you will say, "I will do this or I will dom that." You believe you will do it if you have the means to do it with, therefore your money causes you to have great faith. "Oh I think I will go to New York I think I will go to Jersey to-morrow." You believe you will go because you have so much faith in your money. It is Wonderful! How much greater should your faith be in GOD, to bring about the perfect expression of whatsoever you may desire, knowing it will come forth without a doubt, knowing it will come forth! You have enough faith in your money to believe you can buy practically anything you want. Why not have enough faith in GOD to believe, and not only believe but know, you can get practically anything you want! It is Wonderful! The average person has more faith in his money than he has in GOD, and has more faith in locks and keys than he has in GOD.

 

Infinite Spirit True Protection

That is why I leave MY cars out, because if I would lock them I would be having more faith in locks and keys, thinking the lock and the key would keep the thief from taking it, than I would, or do have, in the Ever Presence of the Infinite SPIRIT that is the TRUE PROTECTION, the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of all things. It is Wonderful! "If the LORD keeps not" the automobile, the watch or key is in vain. Not only the automobile, but each and everything! Have faith in GOD as you do in those mortal things that have been set up before your mortal mental eye as GOD, being an idol for your and their protection. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! I thank you.
