Manifesting Good

You have a word upon the earth, know you what quote “serendipity” be, that seemingly unconnected response within you to something that suddenly and mysteriously appears upon your path? Guess how it got there. It got there because, on some level, you attracted it to you. Know you how you have found yourself in the right place at the right time to meet the right person for the right exchange of something? And do you think, 'Oh, wasn't I lucky?’ There isn't any such thing as luck. That's a myth. You were sending forth into the ethers and you attract it to you.

          Now, most of you bring into your lives those events and gifts and so forth quite unconsciously. Very few of you know how to consciously plan your lives. Oh, you make little notes to yourself and you fill your little schedule books. You fill them all up with things, but you don't know how to really tune in and bring into your lives the things that you desire.

         Now, you are wonderous indeed at bringing all the stuff you don't want. (Laughter) Know you how you do that? You believe it to be a truth. Whatever you believe to be a truth will manifest itself for you. And if you believe that your life is filled with sorrow, disappointment, with hard work, strife, abandonment, being victimized, and all that sort of thing, that's what you're going to get.

         But supposing you were to believe that your life was filled with glory, with love, with peace and joy, and all the wonderous things that make you happy. Supposing you believed, really believed, that you belong to God. Supposing it was a reality in your consciousness that you were a child of God and God loved you unconditionally and would pour forth his blessing upon you without even a second thought. Supposing you really believe that. Because none of you do, you know. You mouth it and you're working at it but if you really believed it, the windows of heaven would have opened up upon your heads long ago. So what we’re here this evening trying to teach you is how to really believe what you say you believe.

         We taught you before about the power of the spoken word. The power that's in the spoken word comes from the punch that's behind it with your absolute belief.  Now, belief is the forerunner of knowing. You start out believing something and then after a bit, you know it, but very rarely do you start out knowing it. You're all working at it.

         How many of you here are totally fearless? Well, I rest my case. (Laughter) If you were totally fearless, then I would say, ‘You knew that you were a child of God and that all his blessings are poured out upon you.’

         It is sort of like the little, elderly lady who was walking along the path one evening, and she was concerned about getting home before dark because there was a great cliff on one side where she had to walk to get to her home, and she was fearful that in the dark she would misstep and fall off the cliff. So she was scurrying along as rapidly as she could, hoping and hoping that she didn't fall off the cliff and in her scurrying, she kept saying a little prayer. ‘Please don't let me fall off the cliff. Please don't let me die by falling off the cliff. Please don't let me fall off the cliff. Please don't let me die by falling off the cliff.’

         Well, she didn't fall off a cliff. A boulder rolled down and ran over her and it went off the cliff. (Laughter) Now, if she had prayed, ‘ Dear Father, please let me arrive home safely.’ She would have. But she was so concentrating on her own destruction that the energy that she sent out into the ethers attracted to her the very thing she feared, in a different form, but nonetheless, the results were the same, were they not? She was just as dead.

         Now when you do not accept the gifts that are there for you because you don't believe it is possible for you to have them, you are doing the same thing. You are not allowing the good to come to you because you are so concentrated on what might happen that is not good. Therefore, being thankful for something is the surest way to bring it to pass because you are thankful in the manner that you already believe you have it and it is there for you. You fight off you're good without realizing it.

         When you allow fear to dictate your actions or reactions to something, then you can know that you are not living in the belief that you are a child of God, whether that fear concerns yourself or concerns another. Some of you have hidden fears concerning yourselves, but all of you here have fears concerning other people that are not hidden. You know them well. You fear this, you fear that concerning another person, and if you will just thank God for the safety of that other person, regardless of how that safety may be manifested.

         Some of you are concerned about people you have not seen and cannot find. Others of you are concerned about the behavior or would be behavior of an offspring or a dear friend. Some of you are concerned about how you are going to go on with your life because of what has just happened. Some of you are wondering how you can possibly have any happiness when the person in the world who brought you happiness is suddenly gone from you. Some of you are sitting there believing that you had made a terrible mistake and will never be justified for it.

         All of these things are denying the presence of God within you, and all of these things are keeping the knowledge that you are a child of God with great and wondrous blessings waiting for you to accept them. You're pushing all of that away.

         We (angels) came this night and we drew each of you here because each of you needed to be here to listen to these words, because if each of you here is dealing with the idea that someday you will know you are a child of God and then you'll be alright. It doesn't occur to you that you are a child of God now and you are alright right now.

         ‘If I could just do this, I know I'd be happy. If I could just have that, I know I'd be happy. If so-and-so would just do this or be this way or some other way, I know that I would be happy. It is like the little child who… begs his mommy for one (i.e. ice cream) and mommy goes and gets it and in the process, the little child gets preoccupied and holds it in his hand and is playing with something else and it melts all over his hands and there is nothing to put in his mouth. Now the child is upset. ‘But I asked you for ice cream.’

‘But I gave it to you.’

‘But it's gone.’

‘Well, whose fault is it?’

         God is there with the ice cream and you are preoccupied and you're letting it melt all over your arm and drip all over your elbow. (Laughter)

         Now, the thing is, is when that ice cream is placed in your hand, then is the moment to accept it, to thank God for it, to know that it's there and to use it. And knowing it's there before it is actually manifested is the best way to bring it to you. The most rapid way to realize it is to accept it even as it is just an idea in your mind or a need or that which you perceive you would love to have. The moment that that comes into your thought, know that it is there for you; otherwise, it wouldn't have come into your mind to have. If it can't be yours, why should we approach you with it?

         We don't play a donkey and carrot game at all. If you can't have the carrot, we don't show it to you. What you don't think of isn't meant to be yours. What you think of and what you desire is already yours, waiting for you to accept it with a heartfelt, ‘Thank you, Father, that this is mine.’ It's that simple.

         You are fast approaching your time of change in form in many ways upon the earth, and we've told you before, it is important for you to live from your knowingness. And part of living from your knowingness is being thankful for that which you desire and need before it is manifested to you, because that is how you will bring that manifestation into form, is thanking God that it is already yours and holding to that with great anticipation and excitement. And it will manifest.”
