#34 Denying the will so as to yield to His

-

[Pryr-1.2-34] A child that obediently denies his own Will, and own Reason, and is guided by the Will and Reason of a truly wise and understanding Tutor, can never be said to make himself a Fool, because he is giving up the Benefit of his rational Nature, and instead allowing his own Will and Reason work in his behalf as a true Blessing.

#47 Stretching your hand towards God

-
[Pryr-1.2-47] There is no avoiding this fatal Error, except to deeply realize the great Truth, that all our own Activity and Working has no Good in it, & can do no Good to us, unless it leads and turns us to the Light and Spirit of God.  That is the only way to bring Life and Salvation into the Soul: Stretch forth your Hand, said our Lord to the Man that had a withered Hand; he did so, and it was immediately made whole as the other.  --------------------------------------------------------------   9 Departing from there, He went into their synagogue.   10 And a man   was there  whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him  of impiety and breaking the Law. . 11 And He said to them, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?   12   So  “How muc...

#44 Opening the door between God & us

-
[Pryr-1.2-44] Hence by proclaiming our Love and Belief in Our Father, we may also learn the true Nature and Worth of all Self-denials and Mortifications. We see for what they are truly worth, their Nature, and like a torch shining on our foibles, we realize them for what they are:  shackles that separate us from Goodness & see that they are not real Food or Nourishment & have Quickening, Sanctifying Power in them; but that their only Worth consists in this, that they remove the Impediments of Holiness, break down that which stands between us & God because we spend too much time tending to them and not enough listening and following Him.   As in our Creation, we had only that Degree of a Divine Life, which the Power of God gave us; as then all that we had, and were, was the sole Operation of what God in the Creation imparted to us; & so in our Redemption, or regaining that first Perfection, we lose all that we thought meant something to us, because o...

Spirit of Prayer , Questioning the Wrath Posted on   January 22, 2011 by   In My Anguish Previously,  Law questions whether God was being wrathful or vengeful  to Adam & Eve because he broke the “Law”.  It's an interesting thought and perhaps a pun, as Genesis is part of the Jewish Torah (the Book of Law), that does indeed set various laws for His people to follow.  Among them are dietary, marital, societal and criminal laws with according punishments; all which He feels would help them lead good and proper lives. The first of these laws,  is Genesis 2:1-3 where God blesses the 7th Day,  or  he investing the seventh day with the quality of highest value and  giving to those who observe it great advantage.  In short, God  stamped the Sabbath with the seal of Divine approbation; and so “set it apart,” as distinct from the other six days, for sacred purposes.   Our duet, for whatever reason, seems to ha...
