EXCERPTS FROM THE FINISHED KINGDOMBy Lillian DeWatersListen to the covenant from this Source: "I am that I am. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh . . . the same yesterday, today and forever. . . I am the first and the last; and besides me there is no God. . . Yea, before that day was, I am He. . . . Is there a God besides me? Ask what ye will. . . . Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear. . . . No Weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper . . . Fear not the reproach of men . . . Nothing shall hurt you. "Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents. . . . I give life to the faint. . . . When Thou passeth through the waters I will be with thee. . . . The waters shall not overflow thee. . . . The fire shall not burn thee. I will make darkness light before thee. . . . I will make a way in the wilderness. . . . I will deliver thee. . . . I will guide thee. . . . I will instruct and teach thee. . . . I will strengthen thee. . . . I will not leave thee nor forsake thee. . . . I will heal thee. . . . I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard the things that I have prepared for them that love me. . . .I give unto him that is athirst of the waters of life freely. . . . I will put a new spirit within you, and make you a new heart. . . . Call upon me and I will answer and will show thee great and mighty things that Thou knowest not. . . Behold I make all things new." Light your mind with high vision. "Where there is no vision the people perish." Life cannot be life today and death tomorrow; good cannot have been good yesterday and evil today; nor can health be here one moment and gone the next. Since the Divine cannot change its inherent qualities, neither can these inherent qualities of health, activity, strength, courage, love, be changed in us. Does the air ask for invisibility? Do the stars desire to shine? No. Neither do we need to long for that quality which we already inherently possess. We are courage, we have power, we have abundance. Let man become conscious of what he is! Let him know his inner self, the Christ self, to be all that he could possibly desire! Life gives us earth and heaven, time and eternity, in which to understand this self, this pearl of great price. In order to do the things of Spirit, there must be a spiritual recognition or realization of Truth. It is not enough to become aware of the reality of the individual soul; there must also be a consciousness of identity with the universal life, even as the Master, Jesus, taught and illustrated. We are soul drops in the great ocean of life. We are divine sparks of the infinite light. Taking this as a starting point in the spiritual recognition of our oneness with the whole, it blesses and enriches us. Each is an individual center of consciousness in the great ocean of consciousness. How can we expect to control our thoughts, if we do not start with the premise that we are greater than our thoughts? Only as we realize the Self that is above thinking, do we become capable of controlling our thinking. "In all eternity no tone can be so sweet, As where man’s heart with God in unison doth beat." Be not afraid, O creatures of the earth! The thing you fear is but a senseless cloud; In God’s name arise! and rend the phantom shroud; Lo, o’er the earth Love’s presence doth appear; The healing Christ triumphant draweth near. Arise! and know by Spirit Thou wert made As perfect as thy God. Be not afraid.
