Never Criticize
Ministers
It appears that often times we criticize without really taking note what someone is saying or what we are saying.  Take for instance we hear of some Religious Groups that speak of Christ as the Creator.  Perhaps, you may say that they are incorrect in that statement, but think for a moment.  
 
Jesus the Christ said, "When you see me you see the Father.  The Father and I are One."  What does this really mean?  
 
He is telling us that there is only One in this Universe and that he has raised his consciousness to that of The Father, therefore we are not to separate him from God.  What God does, he does. Who God is, he is.  Therefore, if you take this and understand this at the level he speaks, he is God, the Creator.  It is just that simple.
 
The Chief Priests and the Scribes were angry with him for making such a statement and began to seek how they could get rid of him, for they feared the people.
 
The question ran through their minds, "Who does he think he is?  Why he makes a statement as if he is God and he associates himself with God!"  This brought anger, fear and pondering as to what will happen to the Priests of the Sanhedrin.
 
When we boldly speak of that which is different from the general thinking, many become afraid of what will happen to them, their wealth, and their control that they may have.  All sorts of things may run through their minds. 
 
The wise thing to do is simply stand still, be quiet and commune with Our Father.  Rather than criticize, get your answers from Our Father.  He knows more than we do and we must know we are taken care of and protected.
 
Realize this Easter Season that Divine Love is greater than any problem in this world.
 
Have a Wondeful, Loving and Happy Easter.

Greetings!

The very first Sunday, April 4, 2010 we celebrate the resurrection of Truth, the Christ within that we may have our reunion with Him. 
 
Many churches will celebrate in music and choirs will sing of praising the wonders that happened over 2000 years ago.  The Disciples, however, were in the Upper Room praying, no music, no choirs.
 
I am certain they were wishing or hoping that what had happened was not so and were moved when Mary Magdalene appeared to the Disciples saying, "He is alive!  He is alive!  I have seen him."
 
We here at Universal Wisdom Fellowship will not be in an Upper Room, we will not even have a choir to sing, but something wonderful will take place.  Rev. Fred will deliver a 10 minute Message, "The Truth is Arisen", before our regular Gathering of Minds Discussion on Developing How To Handle God's Money.
 
How interesting that these two fall on the same Sunday since it was the Disciple Judas that evidently did not understand how to handle God's money in a smart way.  He used money to betray.  Afterwards, he realized his mistake.
 
Join us on this wonderful Sunday at 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 and no longer than 11:30 A.M.   Can we count on you?
 
Telephone: 203-595-8308 and let us know that you are ready to experience an Easter Sunday as the Disciples did over 2000 years ago.
 
The Fountain of Bliss 
Peas2 
First, let us understand that "bliss" is possible in the world in which we live, for Our Father created everything for our entertainment and for us to entertain Him in response.
 
When you give a gift to someone, is it not a joy to see them use it or do wonderful things with it?  If we are created in Their image and after Their likeness, then Our Father feels the same way.
 
 After all, He said in Genesis Chapter 1, verse 26, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  Verse 27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."  In Haggai chapter 2, verse 8 it says this, "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts."  Wow!  We are just caretakers.
 
Even if you are one who believes in a "big bang" explosion, explain who made the things necessary to have a "big bang?"  There is no way to get around a Power greater than ourselves, so the next best thing is to decide, "Do you want to experience: ecstasy, heaven on earth, paradise, enjoyment, happiness, delight, pleasure and harmony?"  And that there is a Power that can give these things to each of us?
 
This is the spirituality that each of us can enjoy, but it is our choice.  We can believe what someone else says, or we can believe that Power that is greater than ourselves.
 
When I was very little, I would hear our mother singing, "I'll Fly Away" while she ironed.  I do not know whether it was that she would rather be someplace else, or if the song made the ironing go easier.  If you "google" this, "What are the words to I'll fly away" or simply click on this site: my.homewithgod.com/heavenlymidis2/flyaway.html you will hear the music and can sing or read the words.
 
This is brought up because we as people have our minds attached to death rather than life, so it may be that many are afraid to experience bliss, because you think that it means you have to die.
 
Nowhere do I find such a statement.  It is just the opposite.  In Genesis 6:3 we are given 120 years, so let us forget about death, embrace the fountain of life and let that life pour over you God's Heavenly bliss.  This is what the resurrection is all about.
 
 Loving You,

Never Forget Our Father/Mother God, He Never Forgets Us
By Rev. Pat
FaceGod1sIn studying "Discovering How to Handle God's Money", it becomes easy to realize why we are in the predicament we are in with money.  When money is collected incorrectly, it is like the wind.  It blows for a while and then it is gone.  Therefore, when we:
    1. Lie
    2. Cheat
    3. Steal
    4. Embezzle
    5. Hurt
    6. Harm
    7. Cause Illnesses
    8. Misuse God's Money
    9. Use our words to hold things back--
we can expect to become limited in our resources, because we are collecting them and then using them in inappropriate places and ways.
  
Everything on this Earth belongs to God whether you want to believe that or not.  We are simply caretakers.  The Scriptures guide us in understanding this.  In Isaiah 55 verses 8 and 9 say, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."  And Psalm 24 verse 1 says, "The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains."
 
It is sometimes difficult to understand this, for we work so hard to take care of what we think we own and at every turn it may feel that someone is always trying to take it away.  However, it is not ours to begin with.
 
Read these verses:  Leviticus Chapter 25 verse 23 says, "...for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me."  Psalm 50 verses 10, "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills."  Verse 11, "I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are mine."   Verse 12 says, "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, all the fullness thereof."
 
There is nothing difficult about understanding that, but it is clear, we own nothing, nada, but we are the caretakers of everything that is here.
 
 If the Power that is Greater in us is neglected, what we get, what we do, how we act will never go through the right channels, or follow the right path.  Everything will be lost on some side path, desert road or lining the "roads of great intentions" which lead to blind alleys.
 
The Small Group, Gathering of Minds that is now teaching, "Discovering God's Way of Handling Money" is bringing out Truths of what Our Father/Mother God has instructed us to do.
 
When Daniel, the Prophet was captured and taken to live in Babylon in the great palace of King Nebuchadnezzar, he became what we would call the CEO of Babylon for the King, because he never forgot the God of his fathers.  He never stole, never hurt, never harmed, never caused illness, never lied, never cheated, never embezzled or anything that would misuse God's Gifts or God's Money for the King.
 
However, there were those who tried to make him do dirty things and he would not.  As a result, they were the cause that landed Daniel in the Lion's den where these men thought the lions would kill and eat him, but by the morning, he walked out safe and unharmed.  King Nebuchadnezzar was very happy that Daniel was alive and the men that caused the problem was thrown in the Lion's Den.
 
If we would use God's money correctly, as it is needed for everything in life, we would find that we would have an excess of funds, excess of health, happiness, joy, peace and harmony, because Our Father only knows abundance-opulence.
 
What makes us do these things?  We did not make money by ourselves.  If Our Father erased from the minds of every individual how to make money beginning with printing and ending with earning it, do you think that there would be ONE individual who would know how to do it? 
 
Remember, there is a Power in this Universe that is greater than we are and we must become aware of how to cooperate with it, never to work against it and denying that there is a God higher than our thinking will never erase the Truth.
 
Think on that these things this month.
 
(We will study about Daniel in July.  I awakened in the "wee" hours this morning, 03-5-2010 with this message, so I must give it here.  Daniel comes under the Bible Heroes.  We can, however, teach these in any order.)

What Is the Best Way to Handle the Authority Our Father Gave Us?
GodWeightsHeart01s 
The best thing that we can do is to allow the authority Our Father gave us to be equal to His Thoughts and Plans.  This is actually what we call "Letting Go and Letting God" do what is necessary in life.  In other words, surrender!  It is not a bad thing.
 
This no doubt is one of the hardest things for any person to do, because this embraces the unknown.  However, if we truly do trust Our Father, the unknown is joy, peace, Divine Love and wisdom and is definitely adventure.  You do not have to hang on the side of a cliff, do tight rope walking or even climb a mountain to be adventurous. 
 
The greatest adventure that any person can experience is taking a walk with Our Father.  Browse the path of joy, of peace, of spirituality, of kindness, of bliss and all the other wonderfully magnificent positives that are just waiting to blaze a path to a heavenly paradise with you.
 
Right now, blazing an additional path of Geometry since it was never really part of my study in High School seems to be a wonderful path to tread.  It is said that Our Father is mathematical and if He truly is, to know that part of Him will make life beautiful.  To know what it feels like to walk with him in all the most beautiful symbols of shapes will not only be enlightening, but also fun.  What a glorious way to experience Our Father.
 
You see, it is wise to realize that everything any one does is related to Our Father, His expressions to entertain His children and loving to play and entertain Him. 
 
Remember, in the early grades that recess was about 15 minutes in the morning, 10 or 15 minuets in the afternoon and 30 or 45 minutes for lunch.  This keeps Our Father's children healthy.  Perhaps whatever company for which you work keeps you healthy by allowing you to truly have recesses like this from your work each day. 
 
May You Know Our Heavenly Father the Way He  Knows You.
