Goodness

You have no idea the joy we receive knowing that what is here is for the benefit of our Earth, our environment our Universe and of course for the benefit of every person who practices what is here. Goodness is the seed that makes everything grow.

What is this thing called "goodness?" It is virtue. This path leads to Our Father.

Goodness is kindness. We can learn how to be kind every moment of our day. A good start is to thank someone who holds the door for you. Tell them they are kind.

When we see kindness in another, it causes kindness to awaken in us.

Goodness is integrity. A student once asked me, "What is that?" Integrity is first honesty, then truthfulness, and honor. There is nothing desired, for everything is answered.

How do we square up with this definition of "goodness?"

In Divine Love and Delight,

We have many options this month. In the August article regarding How We Seek Our Father, it tells us to be honest, so that there are no more lies. This can be difficult for some, but we are asking that there be sincere practice in this month of September.

Our Featured article of Goodness can help. Try asking questions regarding each of the definitions of "goodness" and listen to your answers.

We know happiness and illumination is important to you.

Hand drawn doodle scripture text which says, Be still and know that i am God - Psalm 46 v 10.
Psalm 46:10 
How Do We Seek God?

We are encouraged many times in the Scriptures, by Ministers, and Pastors to seek God and we will find Him. Yet, I cannot recall in any of the Churches visited that anyone of them told exactly HOW to seek Him. No one gave us the steps.
If God is desired, below are steps that anyone may follow.
  1. The first thing that we are to understand is that Our Heavenly Father, IS our Father
  2. The next thing is to understand that He is ALSO SHE and is Our Mother.
  3. Now, we are to know that each of these parents operate in SPIRIT [that is the part that stumps most of us]. We want to TOUCH everything we communicate with and Our Father and Our Mother can ONLY be touched in MIND. We also, want to SEE Our Heavenly Mother and Father with human eyes and that is impossible.
  4. When we understand the first three steps, we are ready now to demonstrate what we are seeking.
  5. Neither Father, Mother, Spirit allow us to touch them until they know we are sincere!
  6. We are to understand that they are SINCERE and expect sincerity from us.
  7. We seek God [the three in one] the same way we seek a human lover! This may sound strange to you. However, IT IS TRUTH SPEAKING!
  8. When a young man seeks love [and I mean by love, close companionship for life] he has to woo that young lady [it is the same for the young lady, for the steps are the same] and the steps are the same when we seek Our Father. I used the word "woo", because the meanings are persuade, encourage, COURT, entice, pursue, flatter, for you are seeking favor, Our Father's approval, his support and kindness. We are encouraged to COURT the Presence. One of the synonyms for court is woo.
  9. In Essence, WE SEEK LOVE, HIS LOVE as a LOVER!
Perhaps, this is the real reason we do not understand Our Father God, because we do not truly understand how to love a man or a woman [and that may be because we become suspicious when someone woos us]. Our question becomes, "What does he/she want when we ourselves are insincere?" So, are there also steps in this? YES! Most of us have missed them all!
  • BE HONEST!
  • BE HONEST!
  • BE HONEST!
If we are honest, then there will be no lies, untruths of any kind, no deceits, no denigrations, no slurs, inaccuracies, no suspicions, for then and ONLY THEN CAN ALL TRUTHS and OPENNESS LIVE! This is what Our Father requires WHEN WE WANT TO FIND HIM!

THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT SEEKING OUR FATHER IS THAT WE ARE TO BE LIKE A CHILD. Often times, we misunderstand this command, because the many TRUTHS about childhood were never taught, particularly, if we are one of those children who never went to Sunday school or our parents never read the Bible to us. I have to say here, "I had an exceptional mother and father. They went to church with us and my dad would read his big family Bible to us when we came home after church."

This kind of teaching is missing in our children today. Many of the children fail to understand that ALL people are respected, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, adults, those in authority-everybody! Until we do this as kids, we certainly will never respect a Heavenly Father we cannot see. Be like a child does not mean we are to ACT like a child.

Children have in them the instinct to have confidence in those who love them. We are to understand that when our children love us and see us, they know us, and respect us, and then we harm them, it causes them to have doubts, because love never harms is what children know. The Scriptures are saying to us, seek the Father the way a child seeks whatever he or she wants and you will find The Father. In other words, have confidence in yourself, be self- assured and God will be there ready to answer you when you call.

Glorifying Our Father

God'sEyes
If we love Our Father, and if we follow what Yeshua, (Jesus) did, then we will understand that prayers to Our Father acknowledges Him and tells Him that we love Him.

However, we can do far more, such as what Yeshua showed us and that is for each of us to have a willing heart. Can we say honestly as Yeshua assured Our Father that it was His will that he would obey, not his own.

Life with Our Father is very easy IF we obey Him. Yeshua had healing powers beyond those that any of us have the FAITH to understand, BUT we can acquire those powers IF we obey Our Father.

This is what Yeshua (Jesus) did. He would go to pray to Him and he prayed often telling Him that he would do whatever He wanted him to do. This was told to Him often! He would tell Him what he wanted to do, but His (The Father's will) Will was what he would do. Are we strong enough to do this, to follow Yeshua?

He continued with praising Him, then, he would pray to Him again while he was there. He would ask Him, "Father, what do you want me to do?" Then he would praise Him again.

If we want answers to our prayers, this is a good method to follow. Do we often ask again, and again what Our Father wants us to do for Him? Our Father's Will is very important and is good to be important to each of us. In this manner, we are glorifying Him.

One thing to understand, we never ASSUME anything when we work with Our Father. A WILLINGNESS IS VERY IMPORTANT. We either trust Our Father or we do not trust Him.

This is a very simple act. Can we honestly do this throughout our life every day, every moment of our life? It calls for a willing heart!

In Divine Love and Delight,
Rev. Pat

Ask, a Powerful Word
The Power Of Good Questions card isolated on white background  
Yeshua, said, "ASK, and it shall be given you." This is a powerful word, but there are some who learn how to manipulate others to get what they want free from having to ask. For what reason is, such applied? The answer is obvious. If we never ask, and a problem arises then, when things come back our statement can be, "I did not ask you to do that."

This removes responsibility from the one who never ask. However, we have missed a great realization. Asking has a power enclosed in it for the one asking and Our Father considers the power that comes to Him. If we never ask His children to do things, then, it is obvious that we probably never ask Our Father to do things for us.

The responsibility of a "NO" answer coming to us when we never ask, or an unanswered prayer coming will be nil. This belief keeps us safe from being wrong, but does it? We can say that Our Father has always answers, and He does. He answers the one who disbelieves and does not want to take responsibility and He answers the one who believes that asking has power.

Yeshua (Jesus) would have refused to teach the concept of asking if it were a bad concept. He knew the power behind it. To ask means that there is something that we may not know, but is willing to accept the fact that we do not know and is willing and eager to learn. This is humility at its best!

This idea of never asking keeps a person from growing spiritually. It also keeps that person from growing mentally! What it truly does is that person incarnates lifetime after lifetime and sometimes with the same person, if that person accepts the manipulation and continues to be manipulated.

Remember, Our Father has given each individual authority over their own life and when we fail to accept this gift, we are saying to Our Father, "Your gift causes problems for me, I will let another think, act and do what You Our Father think I ought to do."

The Law of Correspondents is trying to show us what our inside world is like. When manipulation is used, it makes the individual double upset, because this person feels angry most of the time, and may feel they are a victim. This Law tells us that our life is a reflection of what is going on inside and that it is wise to pay attention to how we see things. This Website may help in understanding The Law of Correspondence http://www.iempowerself.com/75_law_of_correspondence.html

 
It may just be that we are more fearful of succeeding, for if we ask, and then receive, what will we do?
When problems arise, it is wise to try something like this.
  1. As soon as a problem comes to mind, we are to ask for help from Our Father, and Yeshua (Jesus).
  2. After we immediately ask for help through prayer.
  3. Our Father guides us to what we are to do.
 
The question may arise as to when we call for help from His Holy Angels.
  1. We may ask for help from Our Father's Holy Angels any time AFTER we have prayed to Our Father. Remember, Our Father is God. We worship Him. We give respect to Him and then we may ask for help from our Guardian Angel, a specific Angel or from the Heavenly Host.
  2. Prayer comes first. If we pray first thing in the morning for the partnership during the day, we have already prayed for the assistance and the Angels may be summoned at any time.
  3. This area is where Science of Mind does NOT teach, but it is very necessary to demonstration [this may be the reason prayers are slow to be answered]. If at some point you say "LORD," you have called upon Yeshua (Jesus). Remember, he said we are to go through him. Go to our Website www.universalwisdomfellowship.org and read it for yourself. Write in John 14:6 and it may be wise to check the Living Bible (TLB) since it is easier to understand.
 a.  Always it is Our Father to whom we give thanks and ask to partner to Him, next to Yeshua (Jesus) for our needs, and THEN to the Angels when specific needs come forth.
 
Our Father loves us and wants us to succeed in whatever it is that we may obtain, embrace, or encompass in our life. Know this, "Wherever we give our greatest attention that is our god!"

Rev. Pat

THINK ON THESE THINGS

Thinking
We are most interested in giving as much information on life as we can. We know that things seem to be working hard on us, but if we do what Yeshua said, "Take your troubles to the Lord and leave them there." We will understand what to do, for Our Father will guide and protect us every step of the way. When we have failed in being able to handle things ourselves, Our Father will send His Holy Angels galore to assist us.


The way of an idea as colorful illustration for your presentation

Hone means to improve oneself, refine oneself, enhance, polish, sharpen, and perfect oneself. When we begin this process, it may feel that in asking, we are turning our world upside down.

What Do You Think about This?

Life is a scientific proposition.
