“Most people don’t realize they can drop anything at all out of their life, addiction, sickness, depression, fear, anything at all.”

Joel was an unrelenting adversary of the Roosevelt administration. When the bill to increase the size of the Supreme Court came before Congress, which in the eyes of its opponents meant “packing” the Court, his response was immediate action. Only this time it was a different kind of action. The night before the bill was to come up for a vote, the Voice that was always there to impart Itself to him told him not to go to bed but to stay up and pray.
Throughout the hours of the night he meditated, read, meditated and read, not praying for the defeat of the bill, spending hours waiting for something to come through, and at four o’clock in the morning the answer came that the work had been done and he could go to bed. The following morning, newspapers came out with the headline that if the bill passed if would mean the end of freedom in the United States. The bill did not pass, and years later the editor of a chain of newspapers told he had been awakened at four o’clock on that particular morning by a voice in his ear, saying that the bill must be stopped. He sent out word to all his newspapers to enlist public opinion against the bill, with the result that the nation was so aroused that the bill was defeated.
The truly helpful are God’s miracle-workers, whom I direct until we are all united in the joy of the kingdom. I will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful, and to whoever can follow my guidance through you. - ACIM
