 Greetings!
Change? The Time Is Now!
By Rev. Pat
It is so very strange with all the things that are happening in the world. I awakened at 1:07 A.M. this morning with the words that the Newsletter had to go out this morning. This March Newsletter has been more ready to go out on time than any Newsletter that we have written even those for WUC. Yet, every obstacle possible has appeared to block it.
Information poured in from 1:07 until 2:15 this morning. The article is some of what this Higher Power wants you to know. The picture tells us: Do not be conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2 adapted)
It seems that we have taken the easy route out to progress. However, it is that we are to look only to Our Father and not to the profits of traveling for success.
When the knowledge came to man about splitting the atom, the bomb was exercised with great power, but how much power would have been released if man had waited and used the entire atom to make progress. We seem to be a people who want things quickly without checking out the cost it will have on animal, mineral and plant life. Remember, man comes under the area of "animal."
This appears to be the thing that this Higher Power wants you to know. It is time to change the thinking and return to the Power that created all things.
When God gave instructions to Noah to build the boat big enough to house many animals, there were those who laughed at him. They thought it was silly. It took 40 years to build that boat and not one of those persons who were criticizing adjusted their thinking processes.
When God told Abraham that He was going to destroy Sodom, He sent two Angels to see if the cries He had heard from Sodom were true. Yet, when the Angels told Lot and his wife to gather their things and ask others to join them no one wanted to leave. They had a short time to change their thinking because the city would be destroyed in the morning.
They had time to adjust their thinking, but his daughters could not get their men friends to join them. Sodom, Gomorrah and three other cities of the Plain were destroyed. The Angels told Lot and his family to leave quickly and not look back or they would be consumed. His wife looked back. She loved Sodom and in her heart did not want to leave. Our Gathering of Minds Group discussed this and saw that many want to disbelieve this account in the Bible, but there are too many findings that validate it.
I tell you this Truth; be wise and read this, pray and ask Our Father what is best for you to do.
There are too many troublesome things going on due to what we are doing to harm the environment, animal life and the plant life. The time is now to change the criticisms, the negative censures, disparagements and condemnations and begin to use words of praise, joy and peace that will honor everyone, for their "true" nature is godly. Thus, it is wiser to worship Our Father. Bestow blessings upon everyone, and then leave everything in the hands of Our Father. |

Prayer for the Japan and the World
Our Father in Heaven, we recognize You as the Only Power in the Universe, creating all things and Creator of All Things. We know that you are the song in the throat of the bird, the flight in its wings, the russle of the wind in the trees, the green in the grass and the Power behind all things. We know that You are the owner of everything on this beautiful Earth.
We speak our word for Japan and for the entire World asking that You hold everything in the palm of your hand and close to Your bosom. Keep all things safe and secure. Teach us to know and desire to do only that which is of worth. Keep all peoples safe and out of harm's way. Show us how to love You more. Nudge us gently when we fail to see the way You see that corrections may be made in our heart easily. Fill each of us with the knowledge of how to live life with pleasure, joy, peace and harmony. Show us how to be wise in the things we desire to do. We ask that Your Angels, Archangels and Principalities accompany us in what we do now and forever. We realize that Your Infinite Wisdom keeps us safe as we ask for Your guidance as to what the best solution may be for this very moment in time. We know that You have the wisdom to pass this knowledge to each one that is in charge of the Nation, the Cities, the State and the Country.
We open our mind, heart and our very soul to You that you may guide us in all our actions.
For this we do give thanks, for we know our word cannot return unto us void. We have confidence that all is well with our soul.
We release this to the Infinite Law and know it is done. And So It Is. Amen

 Life Is So Beautiful
By Rev. Pat
This past Sunday, March 6, we reviewed the Introduction of Discovering God's Way of Handling Money. We understand that when we are changing the way we think one study is simply touching the surface. It must be studied until the subconscious mind accepts the change.
It was amazing that this verse showed up in our study of handling God's money. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9).
We have read this many, many times, but this time we stopped at the first 7 words. If the way we are thinking is lower than the way Our Father thinks, perhaps it is wise to ask Our Father to teach us how to think a little higher each day. If we work on one area of thoughts, then as time goes by, we will raise the way we think to the way Our Father thinks. Can we do it in this one lifetime? We will never know until we begin.
It may be that the one area to change is to realize that God is the owner of everything. Reading Psalm 24, verse 1 we find this: "The earth is the Lords, and all it contains." Wow, what a verse to embrace!
I love laughter and I respect copyright laws and "All rights reserved" laws, so you will find that I refer you to a Website rather than copy something that is unlawful or wait until someone gives approval. I believe that this little joke explains of what I speak. Only to Our Father, it is not a joke but the Truth.
Check out this Website, fourth joke down that begins with, "One group of scientists....get your own dirt." It is a beautiful Web page. http://godslittleacre.net/funnies/short_christian_jokes_2.html
Life is so beautiful that I just want to live it forever and manage all of God's creations that He will give me power and the authority to do.
This how we like to teach what Our Father wants His children to know.

 Is God in Every Church?
God is in favor of church, but are we as His children in favor of church? There are many churches. It may be that we feel if there are hundreds of people in a church, then God is surely there. Is that true? Let us reason together. - What do you think of your Church, Fellowship, Temple, Society or Synagogue?
- Is there only 1 member in your place of worship?
- Are there10 members in your place of worship?
- Are there 20, 30, 50, 100 members in your place of worship?
- Are there 1,000 or 10,000 members in your place of worship?
This is the question that is the key to the answer. - Do you think it is the number of members in your place of worship that draws Our Father to be there?
God comes when the hearts of the people are open. True worship of Our Father invites Him and when there is truly God-inspired reverence, devotion, respect and admiration fully operating in that place of worship God is there. It is the Minister's undertaking to always keep his or her or their heart open to love and be devoted to Our Father, for the minister is Our Father's instrument through which the teaching from Our Father flows. Money does not attract Our Father. He cannot see money in the heart, only thoughts and principles. Deeds do not attract Our Father. He cannot see deeds in the heart, only thoughts and principles. Our Father reads the heart. Caring is a thought; commitment is an attitude, an impression upon the heart; kindness is an emotion, a deep moving feeling felt in the heart; thoughtfulness is an awareness and love accompanied by wisdom is the greatest adoration we can give to Our Father. These are just a few of the ideas and principles that Our Father can read in each person's heart. I know. You are thinking if this is what Our Father reads in our hearts and this is what attracts Our Father into each worship place, then what is the necessity of money as tithes and offerings? The answer? Gratitude! Gratitude is the key that unlocks the door to Our Father's heart. Saying thank you is one thing, but when you follow through with the Cosmic Law of Action to show gratitude that is another thing and the attitude in which you give is the key as to whether you are truly grateful. No one can give for another, a husband or wife or for a city, a state, a nation or a country. Each must do their own giving as each will realize what they receive from giving. We do not advocate here in asking. It is not our general action. Teach? Yes. Teaching means that you present every true fact to those who want the knowledge to become wise manager's in handling Our Father's money. You are also thinking, well, what is the need to go to church? I can learn it on my own. We are advised, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5. So, what does that tell us? We would simply go in circles if we lean unto our own understanding, but remember you are the one who chooses what to do. What we teach here are ideas. You are the one who chooses what is best in your life. Even Jesus (Yeshua) never forced anything and neither do we. The teaching may not always feel sweet, but the one who practices it finds the sweetness follows and taste like milk and honey to the tongue and love in the heart. | Ministry Event Name

 Goodness Can Not Live On the Laurels of Yesterday
By Rev. Pat We are approaching a wonderful season to remember. That of the Life of Jesus, the Christ, the one I like calling Yeshua, his Aramaic name. He is a wonderful personality and a magnificent example for each of us to follow. During his lifetime, there were many who did not understand his brilliant teachings and misunderstood him. As many misunderstood him; those who teach like him today are misunderstood. However, there was a group who were even more upset by his teachings of Divine Love. They were upset by his teachings of Our Heavenly Father's love, the care for His children and the joy and peace that each person could behold. They were called the Sanhedrin. They were the leaders and did not want anyone to go above what they believed or work miracles which evidently they could not work. This group of leaders was very angry with Jesus, the Christ because they thought that he was wrong in saying that one could be saved through faith alone. They believed that deeds were the way to be saved. Think about these two ideas. - If Goodness, God, Our Father lived on the laurels of yesterday, nothing new could live today. It takes a faithful heart to bring Goodness into this world or into our life.
- The deeds or the knowingness of Our Father of yesterday and nothing done today would mean that we could love God once in life, for God would know us and we need not do anything else the rest of our life.
The Sanhedrin did not get it or they were lazy and wanted what they wanted every day for the rest of their life from what was done yesterday or years before. If we were to believe this, it could mean that we would never grow. We would remain stagnant. What if you took a bath only once in this lifetime, changed your clothing only once, ate only once, how would you feel or how would you appear or what bodily fragrance would you carry? Just as these things must be done on a daily basis, so does your life with Our Father have to be transformed on a daily basis. Prayer is a saving Grace. Thus the use of prayer is necessary everyday and many times during the day. Just as we love to be entertained, Our Father loves to be recognized, loved and entertained. Let us remember we are created in His image and after His likeness. This is important to remember and wonderful to say often: "I am that that thou art and thou art that that I am." | |

I call forth this day Your perfection that it may penetrate every cell in my body that You may preciously come forth in expression as that which I truly am. Let this day be the very best that I have experienced and cause me to think as You think and my ways become as Your ways. For this I do give thanks. I let this be.
