Spiritual Encouragement for Everyone
The good news defeating every discouragement is this: For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. ~Romans 5:19 (NIV). What one man broke another has restored.
Connecting With Higher Self and Activating the Potential WithinTo fully benefit from connecting with the higher self, it is important to activate what the Counsel of Light calls “the third, center level” within you, which is your higher self expressing itself in the world. Connecting with your higher self and integrating that into your physical life is really what this time of awakening is about (and it’s what will get you out of crisis into creativity).
The Remarkable Kindness of JesusJesus was nothing if not kind. We’ve noted that his miracles were all vaunted with kindness – the response of a compassionate man.
Tuning Into The God ChannelEach of us can tap into the God Channel; indeed, each of us should. If we did it we’d quickly find critical information for living that would help us in our aspersions.
The Completeness of ChristAll things in heaven and on earth are pulled together in the Jesus-time and the Jesus-space; all things are under the Father, through Jesus. They always were, but we were apart, due the need of the blood sacrifice of God’s own Son.

Head – Heart – THEN HolyWe cannot be set apart to something, devoted to it, without it reaching our hearts. We can understand anything at the level of the mind, but we’ll be forever confused and overwhelmed by the steady and consistent practice of it until it reaches our hearts.
The Christian’s Respect – 1 Peter 3:15-17I’m not sure we think of this much, but we should. We should be working out our salvation in fear and trembling as Paul exhorts us in Philippians 2:12. I think this is also what Peter is getting at.
Resting Confidently in God’s AssurancePersecution is certainly still known toward the church and Christians today – and perhaps it might always be. And, still, we have this comfort of the Lord in the above vision, which is appreciably written for us today as much as it was for Paul back in the First Century.
