This
ministry reaches a global audience. I receive prayer requests and
requests for help from all across the world from people I will probably
never meet but at the same time, people that I know very well. How
can this be true? It is true because we are all One ... we all
have a mind, a body and a spirit ... and this Spirit connects All of us.
In the Spirit, we are All living to the measure of Love, Peace, Harmony,
Joy, Happiness, Strength and Light that we have learned to
"realize" in our lives. Now, I am not writing that we
are the same ... we are All One ... but different. And this
difference is what connects a practitioner and a client ... the client
is seeking that which the practitioner has a greater measure of ...
whether it be Love, Peace, Harmony, Joy, Happiness, Strength or Light.
All of which are the Qualities Of God expressing through us ... the
Infinite One individualizing Itself "as" us.
An honest practitioner will always know what it is that must be
"re-enforced" within themselves by the nature of the requests
for prayer or help. If I receive requests for health ... then I
have either over-come a health issue or I am going to prevent a health
issue from manifesting in my experience by working on a health issue for
the client. Same thing goes for finances, relationships, fear,
depression, whatever ... if the request comes to me .. it is mine to
handle within myself first ... and then the client receives the blessing
of the work. If I don't handle it within my very own consciousness
... then both the client and I are going to have the experience or a
delay in healing the condition. But, if the practitioner is honest
and practices their practice ... and the client cooperates this is not
necessary. A Divine Agreement is made and the healing begins Its
unfoldment.
The
two predominant issues I work with are Love and Money. We can't
have too much Love and we can't have too much Money, so I will probably
always deal with these two issues. In Truth they both come down to
Harmony ... are we in Harmony with our desires for Love and our
requirements for Money? Most of us aren't most of the time... and
most of this has to do with the on-going living of Life. As soon
as we reach one goal... we have another... and then another still... and
most of our goals require either Love or Money.
Most of the requests I get that involve Money are self-esteem
issues; not enough translates into not feeling "good enough"
and so along with the feelings come fear, shame, embarrassment, and
guilt. The not "good enough" comes from our past
experiences with lack and financial restriction ... fear comes from
thinking about what "will happen" or "can happen" to
us if we don't have a certain amount of money. Shame,
embarrassment and guilt can come from the level of responsibility we
take for our money troubles. As we heal these feelings ... the
money issues lessen and we begin our movement into prosperity and
greater abundance. But we have to cooperate ... as the Master Mind
Jesus stated, "he/she who has little will have even less ... and he
who has much will have even greater still." In other words,
we have to cooperate by being grateful for what we have and
"believing" in the Law of Increase ... no matter how seemingly
little we may have ... God, Infinite Supply ... can increase it .. if we
get our poverty thoughts out of the way and "let" the Good
unfold.
Love issues usually involve other people and this
can get complicated. When someone sends me a prayer request to
bring them back together with someone who has left them ... they aren't
always open to my suggestions. Love is a "sticky" issue
for most of us. Love issues have all the same "feelings"
that money issues have ... but for most of us ... they are amplified
tremendously. Love issues darken our hearts with all manner of
feelings that many people cannot even explain. But the solution is
simple ... not necessarily easy ... but simple.
All the Love we will ever need ... is within us ... ALL THE LOVE WE WILL
EVER NEED IS WITHIN US ... and what we see and experience outside of us
is the measure of Love within us. This is why the Radical Rabbi
stated that there are only two commandments, "Love God and Love
Your Neighbor As Yourself." In other words, LOVE WHO AND WHAT
YOU ARE ... AT ALL TIMES. Do not let the conditions, experiences
and people outside of us define the measure of Love we have for
ourselves and God. IF YOU CAN'T BE WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE ... LOVE
THE ONE YOU'RE WITH ... YOU!
And
So It Is!
Letting
Love Use Me In Its Own Good Way,
