The Holy Scriptures
For a long time, I have wanted to teach about the Prophets and God's Holy Word, but have hesitated because we were not really taught enough about the Scriptures and I could not teach something I was not sure of myself.
I asked the question about how we have come to the decision that the Law of Cause and Effect moves slowly. Some of us even believe that it takes years for the effect of what we do to happen.
Yahweh answered with this statement and at the time it surprised me and yet it did not surprise me. He said that the lack of Scriptural study is the cause. He also said that New Thought is great, but they have left out the continual study of the Scriptures and when that happens the Truth is only partially given.
I studied the Prophets in 2006, three hours every Saturday morning from 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. going through the books of the Holy Word and the Metaphysical Bible Dictionary by Fillmore to get the hidden meaning of the cities, towns and people that were mentioned.
During that time, we were World United Church and only about two or three people were attending on a Sunday morning. It was unfortunate that they did not want to know about God. What they wanted was to simply know how to solve their problems.
What we fail to know and understand is that the Scriptures tell us about how the people got into trouble and gives the solutions on how to GET OUT of trouble. Let us see how this works.
Let us look at the Prophet Ezekiel. I know you have heard of him, for he is one of four major prophets in Scripture. He shows us how to demonstrate strength. It tells us that what happened to Ezekiel can happen to any of us as we open up to Spirit.
Ezekiel saw a vision. The book of Ezekiel tells us what happens when we seed our conscious mind with all kinds of negative thoughts (man represents the conscious mind) and our subconscious mind (woman represents our subconscious mind), then acts like a harlot. A new book is in process explaining this - GOD SELF IN MAN.
The book of Ezekiel tells how the Spirit blessed, loved nurtured him and how the subconscious then set itself up as the all-powerful almighty and superior self being more wicked than Samaria (its thought patterns) and Sodom (what and how it acted).
Let us understand that when God says "a soul will die," He is meaning that the NEGATIVE part will cease and only the GOOD will live. There is NO ETERNAL DEATH, only ETERNAL LIFE. This is what Ezekiel is all about!
We have persisted in believing that this Lovely, Magnificent, even Loving Father is a tyrant and none of it is true!
It is like our being hungry and we are taken to a Restaurant where food is set before us, but if we do NOT eat we remain hungry and if we never eat our outer shell will be shed and the soul simply says, OK, I will return to The Father and see what I need to do to come again to this land and try to do it right.
The next lifetime we may eat only enough to keep the outer shell nourished, for a period of time and eventually we shed that outer body again.
However, suppose we not only eat of the food, but eat the very best and find that when we do our thoughts are also nourished. Our mind becomes clear and our soul is filled full of the Glory of The Father.
What a difference and that is what ALL of The Scriptures are about--US. I pray this encourages you to study. This lesson is on Chapter 15 to Chapter 24-ENJOY GOD.
