Note from the Author on an Inspired Evening

Everything I write is inspired on my heart to share it is prayed over, studied, council sought,prayed and cried over again. What is written within these pages has been compiled over

many years study. I hope you enjoy the information shared here. Below is a special giftgiven to me that I want to share. It will let you know a little more about me, my beliefs &spiritual gifts.

The other night I sit on my front porch enjoying the rain and delighted with the occasionalcrack of lightening. Here in Houston any rainy evening is a welcome event as we are alwayshappy for some relief of the heat and sticky weather.

As I sat there, I was inspired with a short thought and compelled to quickly gather pen andpad to jot it down. As I wrote, looking at the silhouette of the tree, the lines began tomaterialize into full statements and developed into a wonderful metaphor poem about my lifeas a tree.

I feel that I received the inspired poem; as a gift from above to help me live right, and tounderstand my place in creation, so I do want to share it. My poem is entitled, I Will Be ALikened To A Tree by Becky Marie

I Will Be A Likened To A Tree

Standing tall with limps outstretched in praise of Your Name.I will enjoy your presents like the breeze and spring rains.I will be warmed by the enlightenment you give me and find peace in the shadows that fallnear.

I will be a likened to a tree.I will have offspring and reproduce as you commanded me.I will push my roots deep into your teachings knowing its your Holy Ground.I will allow others to rest beneath and within my branches as I grow stronger in yourpresents.I will wave my leaves as Angels hover near and singing praises with bursting colors throughthe seasons of my years.I will be a likened to a tree.I will bow and sway to you in the winds of turbulence as if dancing in the spirit with no fear.In the calm of the evening I will breathe deep the sweet fragrances of your visits.In the mornings I will savor drinking in the dew droplets being refreshed for the new day.I will cherish my maturity as this garden of life moves by.I will be a likened to a tree.

You Are Not Alone Precede With Confidence

In this very instant the Comforter is here with you, no matter the directions you turn goodor bad he is still there.

You are not alone!

Put the Holy Spirit in charge of all decisions; ask for His guidance in making choices. Ifyou are uncertain he will give you answers, you need only ask. If you need guidance hewill direct you in the right path giving you peace and protections. Just ask for it! You willreceive stillness with peace and a tranquil open mind, to understand all possibilities arefor you.

Put the Comforter in charge by requesting help, he will answer you and speaks from theHoly Fathers vision for you. Listen when you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

You should proceed with confidence that the knowledge of the Holy Spirit is there for youalways, you need only ask for help. When in doubt just ask, you have a direct link to theHoly Father, The Almighty One and He is listening.

The majority of Christians are taught Bible stories about the life of Jesus, using hisvaluable parables and teachings just like he used with the disciples, but Jesus is not withus now the Comforter is. As Christians we are taught to live as Christ like as we can,and rightfully so. But the key factors of how to do that in todays world are not clear orleft to our own learning & discernment.

Christ was led by the Holy Spirit throughout his life so we being Christ like we need toseek the leading of the Holy Spirit.

You are not alone precede with confidence! There is a Powerful Force that abides withyou! Learn to use it.

Ask for the understanding of the reciprocity we share with our Creator.Ask for theknowledge and power of the Comforter, The Holy Spirit. There are privileges promised toChristians that learn how to use the Comforter in daily activities an exchange of blessingsthat are gifts from the Holy Father.

Set aside all denominational traditions of what the Holy Spirit is or is not and ask our HolyFather directly, find out what God has to say about this important topic and how living withthe Comforter at your side can change everything on your spiritual journey.

One of the best reads on instruction concerning the Holy Spirits is done by Paul theapostle he talks about the gifts of the spirit. Its found in I Corinthians chapters 12:1-31;

13:1-13; 14:1-40. He starts off by telling us he would not want us to be ignorant. In thosethree chapters he teaches us that there are many gifts and that they are essential forspiritual maturity and ministry but they also prepare us for Christ's return.

How to Live a Life of Inspired Actions

We all want to live a life of inspired actions otherwise known as being led by the Spirit.Thats Gods way to show you the road to being able to manifest anything you desire. Weall want to know our purpose in life and how to succeed, but the truth is we were createdto worship God first then all other things are possible.

Most people spend their lives struggling to be successful materially in one format oranother, some spend all their energies building an empire, professional career or somemeasure of wealth. We are taught that to obtain success you must set goals and work outthe action plans to manifest these desires. Some of us cant even come up with an actionplan, we dont know what we want. At the same time, its in our nature to strive to proveour self worth, to better our position and keep up with the Jones.

We experience and create a lot of painful struggles because of the choices we make, notrealizing our actions are not functioning in line with our true being. Our innate purpose inlife is to prosper and benefit from cause and effect, which is a direct stem from ourCreator. He gave us the ability to create too. God created us for a purpose, it is our natureand desire to want to fulfill that purpose, but we get caught up in the "how to" causingstruggles.

We have to stop doing things in our own way! You can try setting goals for things youthink you want and succeed in achieving them along with tons of mistakes, but yourachievements will be small in comparison to what God already has for you. Its true, youcan manifest with intent, you are a creator, but there is a missing link in this modernmessage of teaching, its "Inspired Actions".

Inspired action comes from the Holy Spirit, He who knows all and can enlighten you withthe knowledge to do good will to benefit all those around you. You know the win- winscenario that we all want. The key factor is to listen to the Inspired Spirit. Simply putGod should be on the top of the list!

Only after spiritual union with God and seeking His counseling should you proceed. Trustthe Voice of the Holy Spirit, this will give you peace and understanding, you will betapping into the infinite power source of All Power.

After seeking counsel and praying if you still do not have an action plan, simply moving inthe direction of the goal, will guide you to the next level without needing to figure it outbeforehand. Just take the next step.

Thats why life is called a journey or path of life, because its one step at a time. All youhave to do is take the next step wherever your heart is leading. Listen to The Voice within

and move in that direction, you will see the next step is just waiting there for you. You justcouldnt see it before.

Some may ask how I will know if I hear God speaking. You have to become accustom tolistening to the Voice. You might need to stop talking so much and listen more.

Do You Hear The Voice Within?

The one speaking to you about big and small stuff, the self talker, the ego, the one that isalways talking to you about everything and everyone. Yeah, that voice kind of chucklingat you now as we think about it. Thats the ego of self.

Its important to point out there are two voices speaking in our minds which one we hearis left up to us.

The ego believes it is completely on its own and in total control, its the minds way ofbeing powerful. This is why self-esteem is vulnerable when there is a threat to the egosexistence. In some people the ego has been allowed to set up belief systems that are

just illusions of reality and even mythology and magic, this is a way to preserve its self.

When we stop listening to the voice of our inner ego that is trying to control everything,

and start listening to the Higher Power Voice of the Holy Spirit our ability to understandand see things clearly change. The world and ego looks for powers though psychic,intuitive, clairvoyant, etc, but those things do not hold the answers we seek, it is thepower of the One Voice, the one in the "big picture" The Comforter.

With the knowledge given though the Holy Spirit there are no limits we live in theunlimited ability given from God. This shift in awareness changes perceptions fromillusions to reality, the Voice of the Universal Inspiration can teach you to do miracles andmanifest.

The ego arises from our separation with God, The ego lives in the consciousness of themind it delivers a temporary existence of self-worth from whatever venue you allow it. Bylistening to The Voice you can see the illusions of the ego and the world around you forwhat they really are. Self-awareness comes from listening to Holy Spirit.

The ego blows everything out of proportion like a drama queen on steroids in fulltheatrical actions. The Holy Spirit brings peace of mind and comfort, awareness andenlightenment. The voice you listen to will be demonstrated by your attitudes, yourfeelings and your behavior, you will be known by your fruits.

You are deprived of nothing except by your own decisions. Which voice do you listen to,the self talking ego or the Higher Power Voice of the Holy Spirit? Start to distinguishwhich one you are tuning into and taking actions steps from. You might be surprised athow easy the self talking ego has deceived you.

This shift in your awareness changes perceptions from illusions to reality, the Voice of theHoly Spirit can teach you to do miracles and manifest. Its your decision; its your will thatmakes the choices.

Using the Will to Manifest

One of the first problems encountered is the active thought process in the mind the selftalking ego. Our minds are multi-faceted like a diamond has multi-facets so does thehuman mind. It has many different functions operating all at the same time, so many so

that it is like a wild animal when you ask it to meditate or stay totally focused and still. Thethoughts can dart from one point to another, leaping from one subject to the next almostuncontrollable. It takes practice to stay in control and focused.

Thoughts can make one calm or aggressive within seconds, with countless otheremotions available at a whim. While in the moment of thought there is a need to monitorand drive the direction of the thinking process to manifest planned events. The directioncan vary from moment to moment even with discipline it is hard to stay focused. Disciplinerefers to "will", the will to make changes in life or events.

In St. Matthew 15.28 Our Lord was approached by a Canaan woman after conversing hetold her, "O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou wilt." Wow! So he just

gave it to her. Whatever she willed.

We have all been taught about faith, but not so much about the will. So what is "Will"? Willis the part of the mind that you consciously decide things with. Its the ability to stayfocused, make decisions with determination. Using your will is the power to decide on theoutcome of reality. We call it "will power" for those who stop smoking or drinking, becauseits a battle to be successful at changing these habits and patterns. But the determinationof your will is much more powerful than just the ability to drop addictions. With the powerof the will you can teach yourself how to create your desires.

All that you see around you is simply what you have willed to be. Every thought from yourmind is a communication of faith and will. Your thoughts are always creative whether it is

good or bad, and you can add a power boost to that effect by listening to the Holy Spirit.There is a reciprocity effect with our Creator from our faith and will, its privileges given tous to create and manifest our desires with help of the Holy Spirit.

Do a little experiment: Whenever something happens, good or bad, look within yourselfvery carefully to find out how you created it. Everything is created within your ownconsciousness at will, with faith, its a God given power you have. The trick is learninghow to control the cause and effect of our thoughts in good ways; the cause and effectmake up the complete whole of our reality.

The results are not always spontaneous and may take a while to develop, but they are sure.Use your gifts wisely, learn how to use them to the benefit of all those around you. Ask the

Holy Spirit for the understanding of the reciprocity we share with our Creator.

Laws of Belief and Stumbling Blocks

The biggest stumbling block that you will ever overcome is your self-limiting beliefs.These are mental beliefs that you limit yourself to, what the self talking ego has taught.These mental beliefs even stop you from trying and they counter attack you when you dotry to manifest your desires. With the information shared here you can change your life tohave your desires come true.

There are three categories of beliefs that people have regardless of religion:

Some see the world as a good place to be. They have tendency to see the goodsituations and believe the glass to be half full. They tend to see the good in people andlook to the brighter side of any situation. They are optimistic and positive in all aspects oftheirlives, but have no direction of intent manifesting anything on purpose. Whencircumstances or things are created they are done eitherunconsciously or by default.

The second type of person feels that the deck is stacked against them, that its just theirluck. They generally have negative and pessimistic attitudes towards themselves andothers even the world around them. This type of person sees injustice, oppression andundesirable events everywhere. They believe they have no control its just a fact of life.They believe that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The third primary largest groups of people are in between the first two, they are neitherreally positive nor really negative. They coast along taking life as it comes, being thankfulthat things are as good as they are, or thankful its not as bad as it could be. Believingthat its just the facts of life, its just the way it is.

With practice and training any person can manifest desires. First you must analysis yourbelief systems and change the negative roots of belief. You can take control of situations

and manifest too! Regardless of which category you aligned with, you just need to knowhow.

You can talk the walk! Your belief becomes your reality, even if your belief is wrong. Youbehave and interact with others and situations in a manner consistent with your mentalbeliefs positive or pessimistic.

Needless to say, the optimistic and positive path leads to a successful journey in life. Itsimportant to point out: This is a developed and maintained life style of aimed intent. Youcan start right now, develop a positive view point and practice it daily even in lifes ups &downs.

Analyze your thoughts & beliefs prune or delete those that bother you. Get rid of andchange the less desirable ones to a positive viewpoint. Do this intentionally!

It may be useful to even change some attitudes towards your own self worth. Beliefs inyourself when positive will propel you to a more successful level of understanding makingyou more powerful in the realm of manifestations.

Let's Take A Closer Look Aimed With Intent

People have been practicing positive thinking for years now, as a way to better theirposition in various situations, but not everyone knows how to use this power to fulfill theultimate desires of your heart. Positive thinking is a byproduct of Faith.

In recent times there has been a lot of attention given the Power of Attraction one of theUniversal Laws in different publications. But there was information left out of theteachings and done so on purpose to sell tickets for retreats or conferences to the non-believers as well as the Christian. They had the positive thinking part right, but notsharing how to manifest with intent using faith accompanied by the Holy Spirit guidance.

Without the second part of the equation you are only coasting on positive thoughts withno real destinations, just floating in a stream of aimless dreams and thoughts of bettertomorrows. This mind set will do good things, far more than negativity will produce, but itwas not targeted with intent.

Heres what I mean, when looking through binoculars you can see a wide range of objectsand terrain or you can focus zooming in on one object. Much like the magnifying glassworking with the suns rays on a large spot has little effect, but pinpointing the ray to onearea empowering the ray to cause flame. That is the change you can experience whenconsciously controlling your thoughts with aimed intent.

First become clear on your desires, most of us have lots of small wishes that are sovaried with no direction. Worst of all some of these desires actually conflict with eachother causing counter productivity; you end up just spinning your wheels. Get control, pinpoint your pure intent, and get focused on your true desires. Aim! Aim high too with Holy

guidance.

After distinguishing what it is that you really want then use forceful thoughts, visualizing indetail, deliberate outcomes, seeing & feeling these desires as current happenings, beinggrateful for their existence in your life. This pattern of thoughts also know as faith willprogram your subconscious mind to work on manifesting your desires into your reality.Some things may happen very fast, or within days or weeks others may take time todevelop.

The key factor is not losing sight of the clear desire, stay focused, repeating thevisualization every time you can, restart it as if it were a movie, replaying and feeling the

pleasure and desire as often as you can. Control your thoughts to not go back withnegative thoughts of destruction destroying everything that you have already positivelyreinforced for manifestation.

Pay special attention to opportunities that come your way, the Holy Father will begin toplace things or people in your path that will get you closer to your intended desires andgoal. Dont be upset if you miss the first few opportunities and see them in hind sight; just


13/20

keep visualizing your clear desire, and focus your thoughts, the Holy Spirit will continue tobring you closer to obtaining the intention, but listen to his voice of direction.

Heres the Golden Rule of Manifestation & Creation: Identify and deal with EffectiveThinking, Creative Thinking and Negative Thoughts. Processing the information correctlyfrom each source takes practice. It is essential to set-up an active, ongoing monitoring

of this information, as described below.

The active monitoring is critical, without a specific action plan of monitoring and beingaware, random thoughts of negativity will sneak in and cause damage even downrightdevastation to your planned manifestations without you recognize theircounter productivity until its too late.

First up: Incoming information: this is people (friends/family) you come in contact with,TV programs, news, radio, reading materials, any avenue feeding information as in-put.Guard against the bad stuff getting in.

Second: Thought Processing: This is self talk, messages that you say to yourself.

(Examples: I am so stupid, it's just my luck, I could never do that, I dont deserve better)You get the picture; just listen to your own self-talk to know what it is that is attacking you.

Thirdly: Outgoing communications: This is every spoken word that comes out of yourmouth, towards someone or a situation. This spoken word is not to be taken for granted itis a very powerful influence in your life. Remember that our Creator used the spokenword to create us in His image and also gave you that same creative power. Be verycareful of what you say as if will become your reality.

One of the most beneficial actions to any type of success is an awareness andaccountability plan. Use your active monitoring plan to determine if these actions arebeneficial & uplifting or negative & destructive. Learning to do this as a habit will allowyou to overcome any obstacles and be successful at creating and manifesting anything.

Just do it! Do it on regular bases every day with all your thoughts in-coming and out-going. Ask yourself is this a good thought is this beneficial to me? Become aware of thestatus of this information and be accountable enough to yourself to fix it, categorize it,delete it or deal with it by changing it.

Positive thinking allows your mind to accept new ideas and creative thoughts, buteffective thinking involves setting goals. Both creative & effective thinking are importantto being a positive thinker and doer. Even goals about your thinking process need to bemade, learn how to handle the information effectively within your own mind.

We can choose our thoughts & control them, thats the beauty & underlying premise ofbeing a child of God. It's true of effective thinking and creative thinking, as well. You makethe call; its your choice to focus on those thoughts that bring you closer to your Creator,reaching your goals and accomplishing achievements maturing as a Christian, learn todeal with it. Dismiss negativity as not true of your nature or not being important enough todwell on. Keep your thoughts up lifting and concentrate on positive concepts that help tobe more successful and more like our Divine Creator.


14/20

Positive thinking takes practice and determination, it takes aimed intentions. We have tomake positive thinking a habit. By getting in the habit of always thinking and speaking ina positive manner youll be able to meet future challenges as they arise, with a greatattitude and success.

Also important to remember the power of positive thinking is contagious. While you

exhibit great attitude and positive thinking skills to your co-workers & family/friends, youmay get some strange looks it first, but soon your optimism will catch on. If so use thatdoorway to sharing the good news about our Lord and Savior. Christian living andpositive thinking are like a song or melody that you carry with you. People will soon startto hear it and see you in a different light; hopefully they will start singing the same tunetoo! You too will be surprised with the changes occurring in your life,

I am convinced that circumstances can be changed and improved, that everyone canlearn how to achieve inner power and strength by hearing the Holy Spirits guidance.

Mind Defragmenter for Positive Results

When first learning about my computer I learned that I should do maintenance on regularbases, a little housekeeping. One of the suggestions was to do a Disk

Defragmenter and to remove the cookies. The need for the process was explained tome that, as data is saved it is put on the hard drive wherever it can find room. Overtimethe data is spread here and there or fragmented on the hard drive, therefore to assemblethe information becomes harder and harder eventually slowing the computer down. Tomake the process even faster I was told to remove any unwanted data. Well long storyshort it works and it works great! It is the same with our minds and our way of thinkingabout life in a positive way. Yes it works for the mind too!

Much like your computer needs a disk defragmenter session to make it work faster yourmind could have some emotions, judgments and beliefs that are making you sluggish in

your life. We like to say garbage in garbage out. Stored garbage is like pollution justsitting up there in the mind poisoning our attitude and life.

Heres what I mean: Our brains are multidimensional, they are affected by everything thatgoes on around and inside of us, good or bad. We are affected by suggestions from ourenvironment, like newspapers, radio, television, family, co-workers Along with theseenvironmental suggestions we also have our very own belief systems at work in ourminds, sometimes these factors are working against us. It is important to take aninventory from time to time to see just what is causing negative effects in our lives.

Just like the maintenance & clean-up on your computer is important to functioningproperly, so is the maintenance and clean-up of your Beliefs, Judgments & Opinions.

The easiest way to do this is to take an inventory of your fear based beliefs andemotions. Determine which ones are holding you back from being the person that you sodesire to be. A good start is to immobilize and clean-up these fears by understandingwhat they are, where they came from, you may see that they have no value in your life.You may want to speak to a minister or coach, share your thoughts and fears, and then

allow the listener to replay or repeat what you have expressed from a differentperspective.

Remember the disk defragmenters process on a computer takes some time to complete,depending on how fast your computer is and how much junk there is, so the cleanup ofyour mind with all of its multidimensional facets may take some time too.


16/20

The important factor is to do the cleanup and avoid any clutter that causes crashes in ourlives. Dont be like many and live with fear based emotions, bad judgments calls & wrongoptions about yourself, rejecting advancement, and never having any of your dreamsfulfilled.

Be a positive winner clean your mind. Do regular maintenance, practice prayer andmeditation and choose thoughts on purpose causing a positive result.

Lastly, I need to make it clear the negative stored data in your mind is like pollution and isa poison that is seeping into your life and the lives of everyone around you. Remove it!

Choose your thoughts on purpose! You will be living them soon.

How to Find Happiness and Peace of Mind

Happiness and inner tranquility come from the development of love and compassion forothers. Genuine sympathy and working to end the suffering of others brings about thegreatest degrees of happiness. Just like the joy experienced when you give a gift to

someone is far more enjoyable than the experience have when receiving a gift.

Having affection and respect for others is vital for our own happiness. Just like the joy ofgiving is experienced by the giver, so it is with happiness for the compassionate one. Youmust be compassionate to others to be happy and at peace.

It is a mistake to place hopes for happiness on material values and external possessions,just like it is a mistake for your personal needs to motivate love, over genuine care for theother individuals. Genuine love and compassion does not change even if there is negativebehave such as displayed by a child or even an enemy. Unconditional love is real love.

As infants our innate recognition of interconnectedness with the mother starts at

conception, a pregnant woman's mental state, be it calm or agitated, nervous or stressed,has a direct physical effect on her unborn child. Even as adults, studies show thatnegative emotions such as anger, fear, greed, hatred and envy harms the immunesystem.

The most destructive emotions are anger and hatred these can be overwhelming andover take our entire mind. They produce evil conduct within us. Nevertheless, they can becontrolled.

All beings are equal; all have the same survival needs including the need for love andhappiness.

I have found that each time I meet someone it is in both our interest if I will remind myselfthat this person is a spiritual being just as I am, and that we both have the same desiresand needs. By maintaining that thought it is easier to look for ways to help him/her to findhappiness and by doing so I too will find it. Dont take the Golden Rule Jesus taught forgranted, there is much power in acting on it. St. Matthew 7:12 Therefore all thingswhatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them and then againin & Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

We do and will encounter difficult situations in our lives. There are people that will bedisagreeable and full of anger even without reason. These are opportunities to havemore compassion for others and therefore find more happiness and tranquility for yourown life. Use the opportunity to share love and kindness, remember the aggressor ishurting deep inside; he is searching for help but not knowing how to find it, so he islashing out in defense. Show compassion for his need and pain. He has the same needsyou have. Genuine love and compassion are gentle, peaceful and soft by nature but arevery powerful if you are being sincere and concerned with the needs of others.

Committed To Spirit

After learning that the Holy Spirit moves about me, ready to assist me at any givenmoment even when I am not aware it, I realized how naive I am. I realize I have a lot tolearn about life and Spirit! About who I Am! I need to learn how to commune with theHoly Spirit while moving about my daily activities, even when I am not being thewonderful positive spiritual person that I have to strive & work to be each day; He isthere and he is ready to help me. Its hard to believe that He is willing to help me evenwhen I am not helping myself; He is ready to commune with me and show me how to bethe very best that I can be. This communion when I allow it gives authority to me andthe ability to make changes in my live.

The sad part is I forget about His presents. Being too busy, to full of myself torecognize He is waiting there for me. Then without thinking about it I start takingmatters into my own hands without asking for direction or help and then I can reallyscrew things up. I get so busy with the me, myself and I that I forget about the veryOne that has been sent to help me. He is right there with me patiently waiting.

Its the ego that gets me in trouble, pushing me though my day, rushing me to the pointof forgetting that I have the Comforter with solutions to all circumstances. The ego takeshold on my thinking and ticks me into thinking it knows whats best for me. Its like theevil twin flipping everything around making me believe. Then before I realize it I am inover my head in some stupid circumstances with consequences affecting others andtwist my world into a darker side of reality full of illusions. I am left there alone in mymind thinking, what was I thinking!

I cant help but laugh about the memories of this happening over and over in my life, theironic part is I am just like everyone on this planet. Everyone is faced with beingcommitted to Spirit or to the ego. Its not easy being a Christian and living in this humanbody at the same time, but that is why the Spirit is called the Comforter and alwaysabiding with us. We are never alone! He is always there to help only if we will allow itand just ask.

Its a hard lesson to learn to ask or remember and then allow for help because it takesthe ego out of the equation. There other alternative is getting in over your head in somestupid circumstances that ego is involved in. Its well worth asking for help!

Meditation for the Christian

What I soon discovered was I could carry on a conversation with my Holy Father and if Ishut up remained silent long enough and really listened he would speak back to me.

This is also known as meditation a form of being committed to listening in silents to theSpirit.

The subject of meditation is referenced in the bible several times. Meditating in biblicaltimes was a very strong form of prayer which people used to try to get closer to God. It isstill enjoyed by many people today, as a way to get closer to the Divine Holy Father.

In Joshua 1: 8, God says to Joshua, "This book of the law shall not depart from yourmouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to doaccording to all that is written in it."

Meditation is again found in Psalms 4:4, 19:14, 63:6, 104:34 with its final mention inPsalms 119:97, "O how I love Your Law! It is my meditation all the day." There are otherreferences not listed here, you can find them in the concordance in the back of the Bible.

Although meditation originated from religious purposes, meditation has branched out intodays circles yielding other beneficial uses such as for relaxation, medical benefits,memory improvement, and ways to develop psychic abilities, to name just a few. Ourpurpose for meditation here will be to get closer to the Holy Father and reflex on histeachings and communication with us.

Be Committed to the Spirit of God. Allow him to ruffle your feathers, to inflate your tired

soul or deflate your puffy fat ego. Listen to him in quietness and meditate on his word.One of my favorite verses in the Bible is found in Hebrews 3:13, it tells us what the wordof God is:

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing tothe division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts andintentions of the heart (Hebrews 3:13).

You truly have no closer companion!

Do You Read Your Bible
