Praise Swelled Lucifer's Head and Shrunk His Heart
By Rev. Pat
Yes, I know, we do not speak about the one the Bible calls Satan found in I Chronicles to Revelation fifty-four times and by Jesus seventeen times.
Yet, we must face the truth that he was one of The Father's most beautiful angels known by the name of Lucifer. Also, I have awakened many mornings regarding this angel who was thrown out of Heaven.
On the other hand, the most Powerful Voice of Our Father has also awakened me telling me that Lucifer wanted His job. I decided this time
I would not ignore Him as I had ignored Jesus. I decided that my actions would be that I not only hear The Father, I would listen to Him knowing that I was protected and He was guarding me.
God often praised Lucifer for the wonderful work he did and told him often how beautiful he was. Lucifer, the angel could not take this. This is what Our Father told me. He said, "Lucifer thought it was time for a promotion, but he forgot that the position of Ruler of the Universe, the God of Everything was already filled. Never to be taken over by any Angel, Fairy, Archangel, man or anyone else".
From my Religious Science teaching I knew that this Lucifer idea is oft times the negative wanting entrance into the life of one who is positive. I knew that I had to be sure of remaining in the Arms of The Almighty.
All that wonderful praise by The Mighty Creator of all got to him. It swelled his head and as a result of a swollen head his heart shrank! When you hear praise from others about you, it is wise to never allow your head to swell. It ruins the heart. It clogs the heart and causes problems in allowing love to flow easily. Remember, love is always the key and being open in consciousness is what love is.
Thus, the question is, "How well do you accept praise?" You know living on Earth is a lot about acceptance. It is acceptance of praise. And of course, the acceptance of The Holy One, Blessed
isHe. It is about accepting ourselves of whom we really are, and the acceptance of Goodness that comes from everywhere.
It is also the acceptance of visions seen. Acceptance of prayers made. Acceptance of Creator and His Mighty work. Acceptance of Truth understood. It is the acceptance of living a wonderful life, because Our Father said we could live this if we wanted it.
Yet, do we do any of these things wholly and fully in mind, heart, soul and body?
I want to tell you something and trust you will simply be open and non-judgmental. I knew that Jesus told me something that I simply ignored. I truly did not know how to handle it as I stated in the very beginning that we do not speak of Satan.
My telling you this may cause you to decide to end this relationship with Universal Wisdom Fellowship, because it has gone too far and that I am not who you thought I was. However, I entreat you to have an open mind and read it through to the end.
What I was told:
"On July 26, 2005 I was told, "Satan will be hard after you, but you must do what I have taught you." I simply paid no attention or gave the slightest thought to that statement. After all, we teach that there is no devil, no evil and no punishment. They are all states of mind. For what reason did I have to care about that statement? Yet, it was Jesus dialoguing with me, Rev. Pat, The Father's Servant, which was also His Father!
Evidently, I did not understand the Proverb that was given to me that morning, It was,"Anyone willing to be corrected is on the pathway to life. Anyone refusing has lost his chance." Proverbs 10:17 (The Rainbow Study Bible, The Living Bible Edition)
It would be wise to understand what Lucifer failed to understand. When anyone begins to question another's action, it is wise to give an answer as instruction. That is what Jesus taught. If we fail to understand what is meant, simply ask Jesus as he was sent to teach us how to understand and get closer to Our Father.
Maybe some of you know this as you were members and friends attending the Celebration Services at World United Church. The Contribution envelopes will verify what I am about to say. The attendance from that point on became scarce until the Celebration Services were ended. The Church still operated, but no Celebration Services.
Believe it or not, the year 2006 was the greatest year of spiritual growth for me even though World United Church closed. It was a year of great spiritual growth, because I allowed it. That is how Our Father works through us. It was also the year that I was told that Satan was hard after me on July 26, 2005 and reminded of this again on September 29, 2006, "Remember, I told you Satan would be hard after you."
Our Father gives us plenty of time to rectify what we are doing, but we are to question what we do not understand, listen to what we hear in mind and to practice what we know. On the other hand, it appears that we have a tendency to learn after
the horse is out of the barn.
We were taught that Dr. Holmes always said to never take everything that he said as Truth. We are to prove what he said. It may be that there are some who like to disprove rather than to prove.
All of this teaching involves the subconscious mind, for that is where every thought and every idea, every picture and every ounce of our being or believing is stored. Somehow or other, some in Science of Mind think that the subconscious sabotages us when it goes against what we want to do. That would be a grave misunderstanding!
Some of us start things and never complete them, but know this, it doesn't matter what we are talking about or even what we are thinking. What is important is that we continue or complete what we begin. In that manner we can follow what is happening in mind, in the way we are thinking.
Our subconscious will try to scatter our thinking because it wants us to remain where we are. This can never be thought to be sabotage. It is the way Our Father created each of us and we are to like Our Father and our subconscious.
The one thing that I taught the students in the early years of the "90's" was that we must redefine the words that define what we say. I learned this when I told my subconscious that I wanted the year to be an adventurous year. The thought immediately came, "You want to hang on the side of a mountain?" That's when I wrote over 100 times what I meant by adventure. It was the most fascinating year. The reason we must do this is that if we never tell the subconscious what we mean, then it will gather the information that is already stored and we will continue in the same old pattern.
If we never say what we mean by "Truth", then we will continue to tell lies. If we never tell our subconscious what we mean by honesty or integrity, we continue to steal. If we try to be something that we aren't, then we will never be authentic. To liberate ourselves takes a little work on our part and may take a lot of time.
You see, we think just because we make ONE STATEMENT about some change we want to make, we think that it is done. That is an unfortunate belief on our part. The word we want to change must be REDEFINED so that the subconscious knows exactly what we are talking about.
It is important that we use the word "Satan" even though we know in consciousness and in essence that it is simply a negative use of what we have planted in our subconscious. Jesus said,
"Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Matthew 4:10 KJV
I know now in retrospect that it was a mistake that we as New Thought students AND The New Thought teaching saw fit to destroy this word without our full understanding, because as we did this we also made a pathway or opened a door that would allow this word to have a ball with our thinking.
Yet, we have taught what the Mystics have taught. If you have a textbook, look at page 337 paragraph one and if you do not and would like to have one, I believe that we can send one to at least the first 6 people who asks. It is truly a wonderful teaching. Even we say that there is no "devil". Yet, we know that Jesus rebuked the "devil" out of the lunatic. Matthew 17:14-19 and noted in our textbook Science of Mind on page 456 paragraph 1.
What we really want to do is to face TRUTH and facing it can never be done by lying to ourselves. Maybe it is that we truly do not understand exactly how to express this negative. I know that when Jesus told me on July 27, 2005 sometime between 5:11 a.m. to 6:11 A.M. that, "Satan will be hard after you, but you must do what I have taught"
that as far as he was concerned I haf a belief in negativity, a devil or a Satan, or an evil or a Lucifer was trying to enter into my life. He was trying to tell me that I had to listen to Him, be careful and to expunge all negative beliefs and simply love divinely.
I know that this is difficult to absorb and even more difficult to understand coming from me, a Religious Science Ordained Minister and a Servant of Our Father, but that is why it must be said and must be understood. Perhaps, this is the reason I heard that deep directing loud voice after getting almost to our home in Palmdale, California after a Ministerial class that said, "You will not affiliate!"
That word, that awful word is never to be accepted again as a "power" that can take hold of anyone nor can any of us ever be tortured by its words or believe that I have left my Science of Mind teaching.
Understand, that by simply saying that it was a negative idea, it simply buried it deeper in the subjective and New Thought is about TRUTH. By saying there is no evil, plants it deeper in the subjective. By saying that the Mystics have taught it does not eradicate it or erase it from consciousness. Somewhere, it is lurking in the mind and it is ONLY TRUTH that can obliterate it.
I would rather think that because we now have faced this word, we know TRUTH and because we know TRUTH we have awaken and come to the realization of being totally ALIVE, AWAKE AND ALERT-GOD IS ALL THERE IS!
We are always to face Truth. We are never to just bury it!
When will we learn how to truly love one another? That is the teaching of The Christ. Can we do it? I believe that it is possible, for with The Lord all things are possible. Oops! First, we must understand, know and love The Lord, for without that nothing is possible.
Second, we must desire it with all our heart, mind and soul and third, nothing must stop us or come between our desire and our action. I love ALL of you and so does Our Father.
It's Up to You!
In Divine Love and Delight,
Rev. Pat
