Received by K.S.
We are here with you, my dear sister in Christ,
and we never leave you alone for long, but
always remain at your beck and call if you
have need of any help we can lend. And, as
you know, you are the one who needs to
activate your faith in the power of your
goodness, and ability to touch base with God,
through your will being activated. If you feel
unworthy or undeserving it will lessen the
strength of your will and the sincerity of your
prayers. For as you see, fear and lack of
acceptance of your worthiness are products of
the mind, and when the mind is active it tends
to interfere with the faith of the soul being
extended in prayer.
You know how to switch gears from mind to
soul, but when you allow yourself to be caught
up in worries or fears, with thoughts like, "I
wonder if this back pain and shoulder pain is
a warning of heart distress?" then your
prayers will be less effective.
You are going through major cleansing as a
result of your intense desires to be rid of
negative attitudes. When encrustments are
being removed from your soul, you will
experience residue from past experiences,
which can’t help but be interpreted as
stressful. Sometimes it even seems as if you
are going through a setback, or that you are
re-experiencing stressful events. When you
know that God loves you, and that the power of
His Love in your soul can remove these
encrustments, then you need to activate your
faith that this is what is happening: that you
are working your way up through the "foggy"
strata of so-called protective armor that you
have built around yourself to feel safe from
persecution.
There is a fine line between feeling indifferent
to the opinions of others, and having
confidence that you are doing your best, and
being loving. Each person needs to come to
terms with how to respond, how to best extend
their love, and how to become involved without
offending others. When you strive to activate
your higher spiritual qualities, and strengthen
your soul’s love through prayer to God for
Divine Grace, you will have inner strength to
support your outer conviction. These work
together to lead you on your spiritual journey in
service to God and all His beloved children.
There will always be someone who will find
fault with what you do and say. This is
because it is an imperfect world. People who
don’t feel good about themselves want to pull
others down to their level. Don’t allow
yourselves to be pulled down. Pray for God’s
Love, desire to do His Will, ask the angels to
protect and guide you, then proceed to
outreach with your love to the best of your
ability, and know that it’s good enough.
It will be helpful if those you are interchanging
with are willing to see clearly, if they are willing
to change and come into greater harmony with
the Law of Love. Sharing love and ideas,
points of view, and opinions is part of
growthful change. Even though you may feel
strongly about a certain belief because you
learned it when you were a child, or someone
you loved and trusted taught you to believe in
this concept, it could be an erroneous belief. It
doesn’t matter so much that some of your
long-held ideas may not be absolute truth,
because it is your sincere desires and
intentions which will lead you toward spiritual
enlightenment.
As you pray for God’s Love to elevate the
condition of your soul, and integrate that Love
into your daily living, you are on your way to
letting go of false beliefs. As you sincerely
desire to know the truth, and are willing to let
go of long-held beliefs, this will make it easier
for them to fall away, when the truth becomes
more clearly apparent.
These are the spiritual steps necessary for
growth and change to occur in your lives. So
now, even without getting to the nitty-gritty of
what it is you can’t stomach, you can see that
you are having difficulty letting go of beliefs
that are proving to be out of harmony with love.
We have suggested previously that it’s easier
to roll with the punches than to resist change.
Look to the brightness of the day, even if it’s
raining – you know that the sun is shining on
the other side of the clouds. And, as you come
out from under your cloud of doubt, and are
willing to change, you will have a brighter
outlook on life.
The way a person can pick himself, or herself,
up faster and easier is to focus on their
goodness and to know that they are
progressing. Don’t focus on the imperfections,
the patterns that may still bring sadness as a
result of long-held attitudes; these are
beginning to loosen from the soul and mind
as a result of prayers for God’s Love.
Thank you for perceiving my presence, and
desire to write. We have been channeling
healing energies to you, but you’ve been
hanging on to your "determination" to keep
things the same. If you expect to progress
(and we know that is your sincere desire),
then you need to let go of old patterns of
thinking – ideas that no longer serve you in a
productive way.
I will sign off now with my love and blessings.
Flow with the changes; welcome them. See
others in a new light. Everyone benefits from
giving love, having love, being love. Give it
freely, starting with yourself.
I am your friend and brother in Christ – the
Spirit of God’s Love made manifest in my soul
– Andrew the Apostle of Jesus, and a true
follower of his teachings.
