No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it.



"Praying, then, is recognizing yourself to be that which you desire to be rather than begging God for that which you desire." – Neville
"Whatever you want, see yourself as the one who has it." by Rev. Ike.
 Prospering is a quality of being, while prosperity connotes a quality of having. The word "prospering" points to well-being, peacefulness, assurance, joy, harmony, love, gratitude and freedom from anxiety, fear or torment. These qualities are present in everyone but they may be dormant and can be awakened through the process of study, prayer and meditation. Through such consistent study we can gain a spiritual perspective on Reality, revealing to us the fact that we are perfect spiritual beings, created by God for His own purpose, and that the abundant life Jesus spoke of is our birthright.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment - Eckart Tolle

Carefully search your mind, to find the dreams you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? One question should be asked of all dreams, "Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of God?" No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it.

A frequent problem with spiritual students is the fear that they may be withdrawing from the world. They try to avoid the garbage thoughts coming at them by not reading newspapers, by not watching television or not going to the movies. We can be healed of these fears by simply seeing that we are concerned with what the world is doing to us. When we become beneficial presences, we will be asking another question, namely, "Of what impact is my presence in the world? How can my enlightened thought be a leaven for good in the world?" We will stop thinking about what others are doing to us and start observing what God is doing to others through our presence. We are not a target for the world to throw garbage at us. We are beneficial presences in the world, radiances which are redeeming the world. This way we shall not be afraid to read the papers. As a matter of fact, reading the papers can be a way to pray for the world. While we are reading, we can say; "This is not valid and that is not true," etc. It is important to know that we are not targets, but beneficial presences. This is God's purpose for us. Thomas Hora

Your faithfulness to duty will bring you success even if it is when it will seem to you late. ECH
