The Temple of Peace
Your body is your temple. Do you keep it peaceful or is it filled with conditions and disruptive thoughts? It is important that each of us take care of the body? We are to understand that the body is also the home of the soul. To keep the mind healthy one is to grow spiritually. Worrying about money, how to pay a bill, is limitation. Understand that we are to love Our Father and allow Him to take care of us. He knows what we need long before we even recognize the fact that we do need something.
When our mind truly turns to Our Father in FAITH and we trust Him, He brings all these things to us. When Jesus was with the people on Earth, he never lacked for food, clothing, food, water and a place to sleep. He always had these things, because The Father made sure that these things were there for him.
Our Father can take care of each of us in the same manner if we trust Him. We have much to do in order to keep our temple peaceful and that requires eating the correct foods that Our Father provided from the very beginning.
We also are to cleanse our body temple. Each time that we obey Our Father we are cleansing our temple. If we only have in our mind what we are to do and never write it down, we may seldom follow through.
It is our mind that needs changing. We cannot expect to change our mind if that is the only place we are showing the change. This is the reason that it is wise to write out our goals.
Your subconscious mind is an excellent servant. It will do whatever it can to keep your mind scattered, because it wants you to remain where you are. THIS IS NOT SABOTAGE as many may think. It is the way Our Father created each of us. CREATED JUST LIKE HIM.
To keep your body temple peaceful, we are to act immediately when an answer comes after prayer. It is smart to never let things hand in balance. ACT, but with Divine Love so that the actions will be peaceful.
In Divine Love and Delight,

What Is Peace?
We speak of "peace" often, but no one as I know of has ever really told us what peace really is. It may be that most believe that peace is doing NOTHING and who wants to sit around and do nothing all day long. However, peace is far from that. It is very energetic, active and vigorous. It is full of zip, and enthusiasm and calls for us to abide by its laws.
We know that Jesus talked about love and many at the time of his life did not want to hear anyone tell them about love. They thought it was a farce. The question arises, "Is that what most of us believe about the word "peace?"
Peace means concord and that means agreement. Therefore, to be peaceful or simply express peacefulness, we are to be in agreement with what others say. It doesn't mean that we are to believe everything that is said. It simply means that we are to understand what the other person is saying and allow them to have their own opinions, live their own life free from someone else telling them what they MUST do and CANNOT do. When anyone lives under the control of another individual, that person no longer exist in the manner that Our Father set up.
Our Father never set anyone over another and that includes man, the male over woman, the female. When it comes to a peaceful kind of living, we ALL have much learning to do.
Peace also means to connect to one another as in friendship. This calls for a link to being knowledgeable in communication skills. The other thing that one may never think peace calls for is wisdom and this can bring about much effort, because the wisdom is to include intellectual capacity. This may be the real reason that peace is slow to become a reality in life.
This idea of education and knowledge is never really covered in our Colleges and Universities. One may study in a certain subject, but to be completely wise, it may be that one is to know and understand LIFE. We may ask, "Is that possible?" Can we truly know life? It may be that we simply go all around it, but never truly understand or grasp LIFE and its meanings.
One thing about living life is that strife and contention are to be put wholly out of our thoughts before we can entirely possess the necessary understanding. We are to rid ourselves of discrimination or judgment, trivial quarrels, and jealousies in our consciousness. Divine Love runs from these thoughts.
It is intelligent and judicious to recognize perfect peace in each individual that we meet and know that each one is made from the One Essence. We can allow it to move through us powerfully cleansing us of everything unlike our Ideal Self. This will lead us to know that Our Father is all there is. There is none else!
Our Father makes ways where there are no ways. He sustains everyone that loves Him and the more often we tell Him of our love for Him, the more different ways He come through to let us know it. At the time that we love Him, we are most peaceful.

The Requirement of God
|
| | The Way to Heaven's Gate. |
Perhaps, you have never pondered if Our Father, God has requirements of His children if they want to become wise, healthy, wealthy and happy, but He does.
One of those requirements is that a righteous (meaning honest) person never lends money at interest. I know that you are thinking that this is a wonderful way to profit, but we could say that it is a way of breaking the Law of Giving and Receiving.
The Law of Giving and Receiving says that whatever we want, we are to first give it. Thus, if we want a happy life, we are to first give that to the person that appears to be less happy.
If we want to become rich, we are to desire that every person is to become rich. In other words, if we go to the bank and see someone standing in line with a wad of money in their hands ready to deposit, the wisest thing to do is to bless that person that they can deposit an even bigger wad of money. Remember, what we think about another comes to us first! In other words, our entire mind must be at peace. Our home, work, spiritual life, family life-all of living, Our Father requires us to be at peace with it.
In Divine Love and Delight,
Rev. Pat

What Will We Do When. . .?
|
| | The Red Sea region, Sinai Egypt. |
This is a new topic given to me October 25, 2015 to tell you that this will be a new topic for the Website. Here is a sampling of what it will say to us.
This is a wonderful question that needs many answers. What will we do when we realize it would have been wise to learn that it is OK to ASK for what we need, or even to know what to do in spiritual situations?
Many have problems asking, yet Jesus made a big point of the importance of asking. Is it that we feel if we ask it shows weakness on our part? If so, do you think Our Father would have directed Jesus to teach the idea of asking?
It is never weakness. It is humility! It shows how humble we can be. Let us look at the Israelites wondering the desert for 40 years under the leadership of Abram, later to become Abraham. Do you think if Abram would have asked what to do, Yahweh would have simply told him? 
He could have asked many questions, but Abram simply obeyed. It seems to me a closer relationship could have been reached very early IF Abram would have asked, "What am I to do when you show me this land? (We know he was told that God would make him a great nation.) How do I respond to the many questions I will be asked by those who come with me? Is there anything special that I must do? Will you guide me Yahweh in a way that I can understand and obey easily?"
These are just a few questions.
If you were instructed to do something for Our Father, would you ask questions? Do you think Abram was afraid of the God he was about to serve? Are we afraid of God, Our Father?
In Divine Love and Delight,
Rev. Pat
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN NOVEMBER 2015 FOR THE WEBSITE. HOWEVER, BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET THIS COMPLETED, SHORTLY AFTER I HAD LISTED THE TITLE ON MY PAGE OF ARTICLES, I SAW A FLASH ON TV THAT AN ADVERTISEMENT ASKED - WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN? THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT APPEARS SOMEONE IS STEALING MATERIAL BEFORE WE HAVE TIME TO USE IT.

Think On These Things
|
| | 1/2 Truth + 1/2 Truth Does Not Equal Truth. |
Think on These Things
The world teaches half-baked truths. Are you willing to trust half-baked truths for the Truth? Would you rather think about what the world wants instead of what Our Father wants for your highest good?
How many times has The LORD stood next to you, waiting for you to acknowledge Him? How many times has He wanted to tell you something important, to explain His Kingdom to you, but you were busy thinking on material things or concerned about where the money was for that new dress, or suit?

| The Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau
Said to be Commissioned by Pharoah Khufu |
Have you visited other cities in other states? The cities in the Scripture have certain thoughts. It is said that Egypt was very negative and binding like the East Coast. To grow spiritually, one must be able to work with this kind of negative thinking even when you are unloved. If Our Father asked you to work in these conditions, would you?
