G.E - I Will Heal You. - July 20

Do not recognize your illness. Each time you speak of it to others you stabilize it.

Ignore it as much as you can. Think more of Me, the Great Healer. Dwelling with Me you become whole.

Even My most faithful followers often err in not claiming of Me healing and perfection for every part of their Being.

But to claim physical healing alone is a sign of living too much on the physical plane, and My Healing is of the Spirit.

Claim healing of spirit, mind and body. Then shall you, regardless of age, know wholeness.

G.C. - My Standard. - July 20

Carry out My Commands and leave the result to Me. Do this as obediently and faithfully as you would expect a child to follow out a given rule in the working of a sum, with no question but that, if the working-out is done according to command, the result will be right.

Remember that the commands I have given you have been already worked out by Me in the Spirit World to produce in your case, and in your circumstances, the required result. So follow My rules faithfully.

Realize that herein lies the perfection of Divine Guidance. To follow a rule, laid down, even by Earth's wisest, might lead to disaster.

The knowledge of your individual life and character, capability, circumstances and temptations must be, to some extent, lacking, but to follow My direct Guidance means to carry-out instructions given with a full knowledge of you and the required result.

Each individual was meant to walk with Me in this way, to act under Divine Control, strengthened by the "Force" of Divine Power.

Have I not taught you to love simplicity? No matter what the world may think, Earth's aims and intrigues are not for you. Oh! My children, learn of Me. Simplicity brings rest. True rest and Power.

To the world, foolishness, maybe, but to Me a foretaste of Divinity. Never be led by the world's standard. My Standard only is for you.

G.E. - Unconquerable. - July 21

I will help you to conquer in the hour of temptation or difficulty. Cling to Me. Rest in My Love. Know that all is well.

Trials press, temptations assail, but remember, you can be more than conquerors through Me. Lord of all, I am. Controller of all. Keeper, Lover, Guide, Friend.

Remember that when once your hearts have said with Peter, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," then, upon that sure foundation (Rock) of belief, I raise My House, My Holy of Holies.

The gates of hell, the adverse deeds and thoughts and criticisms of the world, cannot prevail against it. More than conquerors. Conquer in the little things. Conquer in My Strength and Power.

64

G. C - The Way of Praise. - July 21

I am teaching you both My Way of removing mountains. The way to remove mountains is The Way of Praise. When a trouble comes, think of all you have to be thankful for. Praise, praise, praise.

Say "Thank you" all the time. This is the remover of mountains - your thankful hearts of praise.

65

G.E. - Lend a Hand. - July 22

Not once only in your lives, when I called you out to follow Me, but constantly -

Jesus calls.

In the busy day, in the crowded way, listen to the voice of your Lord and Lover calling. A call to stop and rest with Me awhile. A call to restrain your impatience, a reminder that in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. A call to pause, to speak a word to one in trouble.

Perhaps to lend a hand.

66

G.C. - Miracle of The Ages. - July 22

Abide in Me. "The works that I do shall ye do also and greater works than these shall ye do because I go to My Father."

"Greater Works!" The blind received their sight, the lame walked, the lepers were cleansed, the poor had the Gospel preached to them. "And greater works than these shall ye do because I go unto My Father."

Wonder of the World! Miracle of the Ages! God's Power manifest in believing-man. God's Power going out to bless, through the agency of the man actuated by the Holy Spirit. Arise from the grave of sickness, poverty, doubt, despondency, limitation. "Arise, shine for the Light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."

A wonderful future is before you both. A future of unlimited power to bless others. Just be channels. Be used. Ask. Ask. "Ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you," and unto those for whom you pray.

God at Eventide - Dear Name. - July 23

The murmuring of My Name in tender Love brings the unseen into the foreground of reality. It is like breathing on some surface, which brings into relief a lovely figure.

It is the Name before which evil shrinks away, shamed, powerless, defeated. Breathe it often. Not always in appeal. Sometimes in tender confidence, sometimes in Love's consciousness. Sometimes in triumphant ecstasy.

68

G. C. - Stop All Work Until - - July 23

Our Lord, grant us that wonderful inward Peace.

My children that Peace does truly pass all understanding. That peace no man taketh from you. No man has the power to disturb that Peace, but you yourselves can let the world and its worries and distractions in.

You can give the entrance to fears and despondency. You can open the door to the robber who breaks in upon, and destroys, your peace.

Set yourselves this task to allow nothing to disturb your peace, your heart calm, with Me. Stop all work, stop all intercourse with others - until this is restored. Do not let those about you spoil your peace of heart and mind. Do not let any one without; any trouble; any irritation; any adversity, disturb it even for one moment. Control! Control! You must learn control.

Look on each difficulty as training to enable you to acquire this peace. Every work, every interruption - set yourself to see that none of it touches the harmony of the real you, that is hid with Me in the Secret Place of The Father.

G.E. - Christ's Co-operators. - July 24

I have always work to be done. So fit yourself for it by prayer, by contact with Me, by discipline.

Nothing is small in My sight. A simple task fittingly done may be the necessary unit in building a mighty edifice.

The bee knows nothing of its agency when fertilizing flowers for fruit-bearing.

Do not expect to see results.

The work may pass into other hands before any achievement is apparent. Enough that you are a worker with others and Me in My Vineyard.

G.C. - Keep Close. - July 24

Our Lord, guide us. Show us Thy Will and Way in everything.

Keep close to Me and you shall know The Way because, as I said to My disciples, I am The Way. That is the solution to all Earth's problems.

Keep close, very close to Me. Think, act and live in My Presence.

How dare any foe touch you, protected by Me! That is the secret of all Power; all Peace; all Purity; all influence, the keeping very near to Me.

Abide in Me. Live in My Presence. Rejoice in My Love. Thank and Praise all the time. Wonders are unfolding.

71

G.E. - Joy in Me. - July 25

Joy teaches. Joy cleans the smeared glass of your consciousness, and you see clearly.

You see Me clearly, and see more clearly the needs of those round you.

72

G.C. - Wonderful Life. - July 25

I am your Lord. Lord of your lives, Controller of your days, your present and your future. Leave all plans to Me. Only do as I bid you.

You have entered now, both of you, upon the God-Guided life. Think what that means. God-taught, God-Guided.

Is anything too wonderful for such a life? Do you begin to see how wonderful life with Me can be?

Do you see that no evil can befall you?

73

G.E. - Perfect Yourself. - July 26

Perfect as My Father in Heaven is perfect.

That means a life-struggle, an unending growth. Always as you progress, a greater perception of My Father. More struggle and growth. Above all a growing need of Me and My sustaining help.

I came to found a Kingdom of Progressive growth. Alas, how many of My followers think that all they have to do is to accept Me as Saviour. That is a first step only.

Heaven itself is no place of stagnation. It is indeed a place of progress. You will need Eternity to understand Eternal Mind.

G.E. - Judge Not. - July 27

Human nature is so complex. You can hardly, even in your most enlightened moments, tell what motive prompted this or that action of your own.

How, then, can you judge of another, of whose nature you have so little understanding? And to misjudge of what in another may have been prompted by the Spirit of God, is to misjudge God's Spirit.

Can any sin be greater than that? False judgment sent Me to the Cross!

G. C. - My Consolation. - July 27

O Jesus, come and walk with us and let us feel Thy very nearness.

I walk with you. Oh! think, My children, not only to guide and comfort you and strengthen and uphold, but for solace and comfort for Myself.

When a loving child is by you, is the nearness only that you may provide protection and help for that little one?

Rather, too, that in that little child you may find joy and cheer and comfort in its simplicity, its love, its trust.

So, too, is it in your power to comfort and bring joy to My Heart.

76

G.E. - Stupendous Truth. - July 28

The world can be overcome only by believing Me, and in the knowledge that I am the Son of God. This is a stupendous Truth.

Use that as your lever for removing every mountain of difficulty and evil. Be cautious in all things and await My Guidance. Commune much with Me.

The truth of My God-head, of My All-Power, creative, redemptive, erosive of evil, must permeate your whole consciousness, and affect your attitude in every situation, towards every problem.

77

G.C. - Mistakes. - July 28

I am your Shield. No buffets of the world can harm you. Feel that between you and all scorn and indignity is a strong shield (The Force). Practise feeling this until nothing has the power to spoil the inward peace. Then indeed a marvellous victory shall be won.

You wonder sometimes why you are permitted to make mistakes in your choice when you sought so truly to do My Will in the matter.

To that I say it was no mistake . . . All your lessons cannot be learned without difficulty, and this was needed to teach you a lesson. Not to him who walks on, with no obstacles in his way, but to him that overcometh is the promise given.

So to attain peace quickly in your surroundings, as well as in your hearts, learn your lesson quickly. And the overcoming is never the overcoming of the one who troubled you, but the overcoming of the weaknesses and wrong in your own nature, aroused by such a one.

No lower standard than My Standard shall be yours. "Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect."

78

G.E. - See the Lovable. - July 29

Do not try to force yourself to love others. Come to Me. Learn to love Me more and more, to know Me more, and little by little you will see your fellow-man as I see him. Then you, too, will love him.

Not only with the Love of Me, which makes you desire to serve him, but you will see the lovable in him, and love that.

G.C. - Sunlit Glades. - July 29

Lord, bless us in this evening hour, and in Thy Mercy heal us all.

Do not think that suffering is the only path into My Kingdom. There are sunlit glades, and ways amid the liveliest flowers, along which the steps and hearts of men are drawn to Me. There are birds and laughter and butterflies, and warm, life-giving summer air, and with these as tender companions and friends, the Joy-Way into The Kingdom can be taken.

Bleak, cold and desolate, briar-beset and stony, are not all the ways. Leave all to Me. The choice of ways, the guidance in The Way. But when the sunlight calls accept it gladly.

Even in the Spirit-World appreciation results from contrary experience. Can the fireside of home be more dear than to the traveller who has forced his way over bleak moor and through blinding storm? Take to your hearts this word of cheer. "He will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will, with the temptation, also find a way of escape that ye may be able to bear it."

The World is not The Kingdom. In the world ye shall have tribulation but "be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Live with Me, the Conquering Christ, and the Joy and Peace of conquest shall be yours too.

G.E. - Real Influence. - July 30

Do not let one single link of influence go.

Cords of true love and interest must never be broken. They must always be used for ME. Pray for those to whom you are bound by particular ties, then you will be ready, should I desire your special help for them.

You must stand as a sinner with a sinner before you can save him. Even I had to hang between two thieves to save My world.
