TRUSTING GOD

"How many of you here feel that you absolutely, 100% truth God? Do you trust God completely to the extent whereby you feel that nothing that God offers you can be anything but good? Even if you don’t like the wrappings that it comes in, do you trust that within the package there is a blessing?

If you absolutely felt that way all the time, you wouldn't have any fear of anything. When a friend was ill, you wouldn't feel that they might not remain on the earth. When your finances were in jeopardy, you wouldn't feel you are going to end up in the poor house. When there was a disagreement between you and your mate, you wouldn't feel that your marriage was on the rocks. You wouldn't fear anything because you would know this has come to bless you.

But most people go through a time of abject terror when something happens. It is, ‘Oh dear!’ It takes you sometimes anywhere from a half-hour to two or three hours or sometimes a week before you settle down and you think, ‘Oh, I forgot. This has come to bless me. Oh God, I wish it would!

But the belief that it has come to bless you is not real to you. …How do you break down these walls of granite that have been created by guilt? You throw out all of your religious beliefs, I don't care what religious background you come from, they all have taught you fear. I am not telling you not to go to your churches or your synagogues. I am just telling you, don't believe in fear. God is not going to get you. So how does one get rid of a lifetime of programming in which you are taught that anything bad that happens to you is God punishing you for some perceived evil doing?

First you start by talking to God. I don't mean formal prayer. I don't mean reciting your beads or reading from a book. I mean sitting down and saying, father, here I am, and I am scared. Such-and-such a thing has happened to me and right now, at this moment I am so afraid. I know that you know the outcome, but I don't. Don't want to be afraid. I want to trust you. I want to believe but this truly has come to bless me, but at this moment I am not in that space.

‘But You can make me be there. You can surround me with your love in such a way that I can feel it. As I feel it, I will know you are truly here loving me and if you love me, then I don't have anything to be afraid of. I know if I feel your love, I can trust that you will not lead me into the valley of shadows, but you will establish my feet upon the firmament of your substance. When my feet are thus established, I can lift my eyes and look at you and know how much you love me. Help me to know how much You love me.’

A simple prayer like that opens the door between you and God. God never closes His door, but you close yours. You close it in fear, in guilt, in shame, and in a thousand things. Getting yourself reconnected to that established knowing that you once had, that you were created with, that you and God are one, that helps you to see yourself as someone loved by God. Until you believe that God loves you, you are not going to believe that only good comes to you. You are not going to be able to believe that this has come to bless you because you are still going to have your walls of guilt.

God loves you. Whether you know it or not, God loves you. But when you know God loves you, it helps you to talk to God about why you feel guilty. It helps you to say, Father, I perceive that I have done thus and so. I know now that it was not a correct thing for me to do and I am very sorry that I did it. But the fact remains, I did it and I can’t undo it. But I can accept that I am forgiven. I can accept that You love me, and You hold nothing against me. I can accept Your peace. I can know that You love me.’ Now, you might have to say that a hundred times a day, but you begin. You say it and you feel it. You feel it. As you do, those walls of guilt come down. They crumble. Holes come in them until after a bit, they fall completely away, and you are free.”
