Live in the knowledge the truth of you.



Real strength does not reside in ideas but in a comprehension that is above all ideas. VH
Free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. How easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their thoughts can do. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home.
The world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions. your gratitude is all your gifts require, that they be a lasting offering of a thankful heart, released from hell forever.
God blesses every gift you give to Him, and every gift is given Him, because it can be given only to yourself. And what belongs to God must be His Own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love and adding to your never-ending joy while you forgive but to attack again.
Learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while, before He snatches them away again in death. Gratitude remains a part of love. In your heart the Heart of God is laid. He holds you dear, because you are Himself. All gratitude belongs to you, because of what you are. Give thanks as you receive it.


Illusion makes illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For you have believed that you can injure, and the right you have established for yourself can be now used against you, till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted and unreal. Then does illusion cease to have effects, and those it seemed to have will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the gift you gave. Condemn and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules perception. Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster. Forgiveness is the end of dreams, because it is a dream of waking. It is not itself the truth. Yet does it point to where the truth must be, and gives direction with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are One. Now is the time for your deliverance.

“To ask _why_ something happens means you permit the ego to fight an event instead of letting right thoughts understand the cause of the event. You do not ask why the sun rises because your ego is not involved. Understand your- self and _why_ no longer arises. VH
Your making up your mind to do the right thing will make you strong to carry out your determina­tions successfully always. Keep this text: "As thy day is so shall thy strength be."ECH
The true measure of success in life is not determined by what we have acquired, but rather by the degree to which we have put our fears behind us.Guy Finley
No matter how people seem to look upon you, you may be sure that they will think nobly of you always if you bear this law in your heart: "I am governed by the law of God." ECH
"Forgiveness starts with you. You must forgive yourself and get rid of your negative feelings of self-condemnation. Live in the knowledge the truth of you - your Divine Self that never sins - and leave all guilt behind."
"Forgiving God" is a double entendre; you can hear it two ways. It has two meanings. First, it's about our forgiving God, or letting go of old ideas about God and advancing and maturing our concepts about God. And secondly, it's realizing that God is a forgiving being regardless of what the Old Testament and other chauvinistic conceptions of the masculine aspect of the deity may say.
As you deal with the anger, resentment, feelings of guilt, shame and disappointment, it can lead to a whole new sense of freedom, wholeness and the healing of many (if not all) of the ills you may be experiencing. Rev. Ike
You are strong, and firm, and fine by nature. Let this strength and noble firmness clothe you by your saying: "Jesus Christ is all in all." ECH
Apostasy in Christianity refers to the rejection of Christianity by someone who formerly was a Christian. The term apostasy comes from the Greek word apostasia ("ποστασία") meaning defection, departure, revolt or rebellion. It has been described as "a willful falling away from, or rebellion against, Christianity.
According to B. J. Oropeza, the warning passages in the
New Testament describe at least three dangers which could lead a Christian to commit apostasy:[ "Apostasy and Perseverance in Church History" in Paul and Apostasy: Eschatology, Perseverance, and Falling Away in the Corinthian Congregation, 2. Paul Barnett provides four reasons for apostasy: (1) Moral or Spiritual Failure; (2) Persecution; (3) False Teaching; (4) Self-Choice]
Temptations: Christians were tempted to engage in various vices that were a part of their lives before they became Christians (idolatry, sexual immorality, covetousness, etc.).
Deceptions: Christians encountered various heresies and false teachings spread by false teachers and prophets that threatened to seduce them away from their pure devotion to Christ.
Persecutions: Christians were persecuted by the governing powers of the day for their allegiance to Christ. Many Christians were threatened with certain death if they would not deny Christ.
