G.E. Immune From Evil. - June 30
Evil was conquered by Me, and to all who rely on Me there is immunity from it.
Turn evil aside with the darts I provide.
Rejoicing in tribulation is one dart.
Practising My Presence is another.
Self-emptying is another.
Claiming My Power over temptation is another.
You will find many of these darts as you tread My Way, and you will learn to use them adroitly, swiftly. Each is adapted to the need of the moment.
Understand Them. - June 30
Take Joy wherever you go. You have been much blessed. You are being much blessed.
Such stores of blessing are awaiting you in the months and years that lie ahead. Pass every blessing on.
Love can and does go round the world, passed on the God-Currents from one to the other.
Shed a little sunshine in the heart of one, that one is cheered to pass it on, and so My vitalizing Joy-giving message goes.
Be transmitters these days. Love and Laugh. Cheer all. Love all.
Always seek to understand others and you cannot fail to love them.
See Me in the dull, the uninteresting, the sinful, the critical, the miserable.
See Me in the laughter of children and the sweetness of old age, in the courage of youth and the patience of man and womanhood.
G.E. - Out of the Unseen. - July 1
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
You do not yet see, nor will you see fully while you are on this earth, how faith, co-operating with Spiritual Power, actually calls into being that for which you hope.
Men speak of dreams come true. But know them as answered prayers; manifestations of Spirit Force in the Unseen. So trust boundlessly.
G.C. - Attack Fear. - July 1
Learn daily the sublime lesson of trust and calm in the midst of storm. Whatever of sorrow or difficulty the day may bring, My tender command to you is still the same - Love and Laugh.
Love and Laughter, not a sorrowful resignation, mark real acceptances of My Will. Leave every soul the braver and happier for having met you. For children or youth, middle or old age, for sorrow, for sin, for all you may encounter in others, this should be your attitude. Love and Laugh.
Do not fear. Remember how I faced the devil in the wilderness, and how I conquered with "The Sword of The Spirit which is the word of God." You too have your quick answer for every fear that evil may present - an answer of faith and confidence in Me. Where possible say it aloud.
The spoken word has power. Look on every fear, not as a weakness on your part due to illness or worry, but as a very real temptation to be attacked and over-thrown.
G.E. - Dangerous Power. - July 2
Do you not see how necessary is your learning the method of Spirit-attack. There must be a certain root-faith in Me, or you could not trust yourself to perfect surrender to Me. But there must come to those who walk all The Way with Me, a yielding of their wills and lives wholly to Me, or the greater faith that results would be a source of danger. It would drag you back to the material plane, instead of to Spiritual Heights.
For unless your will is wholly Mine, you will rely on this new God-given Power, and call into being that which is not for the furtherance of My Kingdom.
G.C. - The Child Spirit. - July 2
Does The Way seem a stony one? Not one stone can impede your progress. Courage. Face the future, but face it only with a brave and happy heart. Do not seek to see it. You are robbing Faith of her sublime sweetness if you do this.
Just know that all is well and that Faith, not seeing, but believing, is the barque that will bear you to safety, over the stormy waters. "According to your faith (trust) be it unto you," was My injunction to those who sought healing of Me.
If for wonder-working, if for healing, if for salvation, faith was so necessary then the reason is clear why I urged that all who sought entrance to My Kingdom must become as little children. Faith is the child-attitude.
Seek in every way to become child-like. Seek, seek, seek until you find, until the years have added to your nature that of the trusting child. Not only for its simple trust must you copy the child-spirit, but for its joy in life, its ready laughter, its lack of criticism, its desire to share all with all men. Ask much that you may become as little children, friendly and loving towards all - not critical, not fearful.
"Except ye become as little children ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
G.E. - Hiding in Thee. - July 3
Follow Me, and whether it be in the storm, or along the dusty highroad, or over the places of stones, or in the cool glade or the meadow, or by the waters of comfort, then, with Me, in each experience there will be a place of refuge.
At times you seem to follow afar off. Then weary with the burden and The Way, you stretch out a hand to touch the hem of My Garment.
Suddenly there is no dust, no weariness. You have found Me. My child, even if it seems unprofitable continue, your drudgery, whether it be of spiritual, mental or physical effort. Truly it serves its turn if it but leads you to seek help from Me.
G.C. - Spiritual Fullness. - July 3
Our Lord, we love Thee and desire to live for Thee in all things.
My children, "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." That is satisfaction.
Only in that fullness of spiritual things can the heartsick and faint and weary be satisfied, healed and rested. "Lord," we cry, "to whom shall we go but to Thee." "Thou preparest a table before us." Bread of Life, Food from Heaven.
How few realize that the feeding of the four thousand and the five thousand was in each case but an illustration of The Way in which I should one day be the Food of My people.
Think of the wonder of revelation still to be seen by those who live with Me. All these hundreds of years, and much of what I said and did is still mystery, much of My Life on earth is still spiritually unexplored country. Only to the simple and the loving heart that walks with Me can these things be revealed. I have carefully hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
Do not weigh your spirits down with the sins and sorrows of the world. Only a Christ can do that and live. Look for the loving, the true, the kindly, the brave in the many all around you.
G.E. - Break Free. - July 4
For by whom a man is overcome . . . he is the slave.
I cut the bonds of sin which bound you to evil. With loving Hands I replaced each with my cords of Love, which bound you to Me, your Lord.
The power of evil is subtle. A cut cord, a snapped cord, would awaken your slumbering conscience, but strand by strand, so carefully, with gentleness cunningly acquired, evil works until a cord is free. Even then the work is slow, but oh, so sure, until presently the old bond I severed is binding you to evil, strand by strand.
Snap off these returning fetters. Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat. He works with an efficiency My servants would do well to copy. He has marked you as one who will increasingly bring souls to Me.
G.C. - Friend of Mine. - July 4
What man calls conversion is often only the discovery of the Great Friend. What man calls religion is the knowledge of the Great Friend. What man calls holiness is the imitation of the Great Friend.
Perfection, that perfection I enjoined on all, the being perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, is the being like the Great Friend and in turn becoming to others a Great Friend too.
I am your Friend. Think again of all that means - Friend and Saviour. A friend is ready to help, anticipating every want, hand outstretched to help and encourage, or to ward-off danger, voice of tenderness to soothe tired nerves and speak peace to restlessness and fear.
Think of what, to you, your friend is and then from that, try to see a little of what the Perfect Friend, the tireless, selfless, all-conquering, all miracle-working Friend would be. That Friend, and more even than your heart can imagine, that Friend am I.
Were I to read in My Kingdom - My Kingdom of the Child Hearts - the doctrines of your churches, so often there would be no response. But the simple rules I gave My true followers are known, loved and lived by them all.
In all things seek simplicity.
G.E. - My Family Circle. - July 5
For whosoever shall do the Will of My Father, he is My brother and sister and mother.
You see how everything depends on the necessity of doing the Will of My Father.
Here is the intimacy of a new relationship. The only condition of this is the doing of My Father's Will. Then at once, into the inner Family Circle there is admission.
The plain way of discipline is the way of knowing My Will. That is the first requisite to the doing of it.
My Will for each day can only be revealed as each day comes, and until one revelation has been lived out, how can you expect to be made aware of the next?
Awareness of My Will is only achieved by obedience to that Will as it is made clear, and when THAT Will has been obeyed the veil, hiding My next desire, is lifted.
G.C. - You Are Invincible. - July 5
I am with you all the time controlling, blessing and helping you. No man or woman can stand against My Will for you. A whole world of men and women cannot do this - if you trust Me and place your affairs in My Hands.
To the passenger it may seem as if each wave would overwhelm the ship, or turn it aside from its course. The captain knows by experience, that, in spite of wind and wave, he steers a straight course to the haven where he would be.
So trust Me, the Captain of your salvation.
