“Light the candle, illuminate your heart. Don’t be afraid of the dark . . . . Ring out the old, bring in the new, bless and release what you have to, and love with love with hope . . . . Ring out the old, bring in the new, bless and release what you have to, and love with hope . . . . Light the candle, illuminate your heart.” (From the song “Illuminate” by Sloan Wainwright and Stephen Murphy) |

All thru the House.... The “house” is the consciousness where the Christ child is sheltered.
Let Light shine all through the house.
The house of “David, Beloved of the Lord,” and “Jacob, the supplanter” is the consciousness that God loves me and through Him I overcome.
Let Light shine all through the house. My house is my consciousness of Truth.
Let Light shine all through the house to light up my life.
Peace to this House Built on Love!
Let Light shine all through this house to light the world!

Night Watch Inspired by lyrics by Peter Mayer:
Make of my heart a manger, Lord, to receive the newborn Christ Child.
Calm my fears, and give me peace, Lord, and steadfast, stable faith, that I may witness the birth of the Christ Child in everyday experience.
Give me a sign, Lord, as I keep the night watch, that the Christ Child is born in the midst of the simple life of prayer.
“In Bethlehem a manger waits, long ago and so today,” we pray that “Love will come and lay there.”
“So may the lamps of stables glow, brightly that their light may go, for miles in the darkness, so, Love will find its way there,” to be cradled in the human heart.

Search the Sky “Search the sky for that star, star of light, star of love – bright enough to guide believers from afar, seeking their rumored newborn King.
And when we wish upon it, we wish for our only gift, peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves.
Search the face of the child, shining with the spirit of Christmases in your heart, and all that joy shall easily be restored.
We’ve traveled such a long way – we’ve forgotten what for. Then we gaze upon the face of that child and hope for the only gift: peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves.”
Search the sky – and your heart – for that star of light, star of love.

Radical Grace Lyrics from “All Is Grace” by Melinda Wood Allen:
“Grace from above me, grace from below. Grace deep within me. Grace is all I know –
grace from the heavens, grace from the earth. Grace is all around me, everywhere I turn.
All is good, all is well, all is grace, all is grace. It’s all good. I am well. In this grace, this loving grace.”

Radical Gratitude I’m so grateful for everything for each and every day. Each moment is a blessing so the prayer I say is, “Thank You for each breath, for my health, for Your love, for my life, for my friends, for my work, for Your grace! Thank You for everything!” |

Radical Praise (from lyrics by Daniel Nahmod to “A Word of Praise for My God”)
“Hallelujah a word of praise –a word of praise for my God!
Hallelujah a word of thanks – a word of thanks for my God!
Let every breath I breath be sacred. Let every word I speak be true.
Let every song I sing be holy and only bring me close to You.
Hallelujah, a blessed day – a blessed day with my God!”

Radical Forgiveness I am ready, right now, for radical forgiveness.
I fearlessly go forward, ready to forgive and to be forgiven, every new moment.
Whatever wrongs may have been done in error, through ignorance, I now affirm with radical faith that God is working in and through every situation and everyone for good.
Radical forgiveness means “giving for” – Truth for error, faith in place of fear, mercy for condemnation.
As I forgive, I, too, am forgiven, with endless grace.
The Christ within all has unlimited authority to forgive – radically – and forgiveness heals!

Radical Thinking If I want radical positive changes in my life, I must do some positively radical thinking!
Wanting to “get even” is ordinary. Getting rid of enemies by turning them into friends is radical.
Wanting attention by playing the victim is ordinary. Practicing the Presence is radical!
Accepting failure, giving up, blaming others – all that is ordinary. Persistently expecting good outcomes and living by the Golden Rule – now, that is RADICAL!

Big Medicine in the Bible (inspired by lyrics by Devotion):
It isn’t the touch; it’s the Truth that heals. Faith, sweet forgiveness, is the best medicine. We could carry that pain for a thousand miles, or we could just lay it down.
It isn’t the hem of the garment that healed. Faith, sweet forgiveness, is the best medicine. We could carry that shame for a thousand days, or we could just lay it down.
It isn’t the food that healed. Faith, sweet forgiveness, is the best medicine. We could go through that grief in a thousand ways, or we could just lay it down.
It isn’t the clay that healed. Faith, sweet forgiveness, is the best medicine. We can carry that blame till the end of time, or we can just lay it down.

Big Peace in the Bible (Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley)
September 21, International Day of Peace
As we share the dream of peace, we envision a world that is more loving.
All over the world today, we go within in prayer in this precious present, and our presence holds the key to peace profound.
Together, we can co-create a vision of peace on earth that will last.
All over the world today, let us reach out in love and wisdom as we share the dream of peace.

Big Dreams in the Bible “In the Temple of prayer, I have seen many days, fasting from fear, and living on praise.
I am imagining what the fullness of time will bring. I am imagining the answer to prayer.
In the Temple of prayer, I tell of the prophecy– The Vision clear revealed to me.
I am imagining what the fullness of time will bring. I am imagining the answer to prayer.
I close my eyes and behold His Image— The eyes of the Infinite beholding me — All through the ages, so tenderly gazing with love and compassion enfolding me.
Thoughts held in mind mirror around me, reflecting in kind the wonders I see.
I am imagining what the fullness of time will bring.
I am imagining the answer to prayer.”

Big Work in the Bible Spiritual principle works when I work it.
God works through me to will and to do whatever God directs me to do.
I of myself can do nothing. Spirit in the midst of me does the work.
The prayer of my heart is this: through the thoughts of my mind and the works of my hands, Thy will be done. Then all that I do becomes a labor of love.

Big Ideas in the Bible There is only one Presence and one Power, everywhere and always: God, Divine Mind, the Good omnipotent.
Humanity is God’s divine idea: we image like God images and we co-create our world by the way we name it.
Thoughts held in mind reproduce after their kind, for life is consciousness and wherever I am, God is.
Here is the Big Idea: LOVE! – I am the thinker that thinks the thought that makes the things that shape my life. When my thoughts are loving, life is good!

Big Finish in the Bible Let all negativity end so that true peace can begin. God’s love never ends.
Where there is fear, let there be faith.
Let materialistic thinking and self-centeredness come to an end.
Let us be finished with anger. Let wars come to an end.
Let us be instruments of Your peace. Remind us that everything is all right in the end; if it is not all right, it is not yet the end.

Shallow Water (Based on affirmations given in Part III of The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity by Edwene Gaines.)“
“Harboring a grudge completely blocks our ability to have peace of mind . . . . Forgiveness . . . lets us go as far as we can on this spiritual journey and receive all the universe has to offer.”
“We have to learn how to let go of long-harbored resentment and finally just forgive . . . . freely, joyfully, and completely.”
“With forgiveness, we can let go of the past and turn to other, more important issues in our lives – such as how to be truly happy, to have the things we want, and to thrive with a sense that we are joyfully fulfilling our life purpose.”
“On our spiritual journey toward prosperity, we are aspiring to a forgiveness that’s so deep, full, and complete that no traces of any bad feeling at all will remain within us.”
I will not drown in shallow water,
for as I forgive,
I sail forward over calm seas
and under grace,
drawing others to safety with me,
and no one is left behind.

What Your Father Wants for You (Based on affirmations given in Part II of The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity by Edwene Gaines.)“
My goals and desires are between me and God alone.
The more I notice the gifts God gives me, the more God gives.
I am willing to prove to the universe – and to myself – that I am the being of integrity that God made me to be – one that does not complain.
God wants the best for me, always, and with God, anything is possible.

“I walk through the world transforming it as I go.”
“I serve God. Money serves me.”

I want God’s good for everyone.”
“I love to tithe to where I receive my spiritual food. I give lavishly and joyously.”
“I am thankful for all my seen ad unseen blessings.”
“Because I give of my time, energy, and money, I am in the flow of inexhaustible substance.”

Discovering Your Own Power & Authority Through the authority of the Christ in me, I speak the word and the universe obeys.
Instead of struggling against what scares me, I am ready to move calmly toward what I do want.
I am willing to work faithfully in my own consciousness to accomplish my goals.
Through the Christ in me, I speak the word with authority and power.

Sacred Space As I journey in faith, wherever I go, the God of my understanding journeys with me and everything is holy now.
I pray as I go, so I live in sacred time and everything is holy now.
The more I grow in spiritual understanding, the more I discern that everything is holy now.
Wherever I am, God is, and wherever I know this is sacred space. Everything is holy now.

Illuminate the wisdom in every moment, from the beginning without end, forever and ever amen! Hallelujah! Amen! |

UR Stuff Inspired by Chapter XII of Charles Fillmore’s Prosperity: If I “cannot part with the goats” I “shall have to do with fewer sheep.” If I insist on “filling the vessels with the bad fish,” I shall “have to do without the good,” for “thoughts are things and occupy space in mind.” I “let go of old thoughts and conditions after they have served their purpose” and “lay hold of new ideas and create new conditions.” I do not let worries over possessions steal my peace of mind. I do a thorough “mental housecleaning” every time I pray. I “cannot lay hold of the new ideas and make the new conditions” until I “have made room for them by eliminating the old.” Short, powerful statements of Truth like “Fear is out of here! God is my Source!” effectively clear away selfish, materialistic thoughts to make room for my good. |

Jump In! I am a Child of God and I am naturally good. I am on the way to an infinite unfoldment. As a spiritual being, I am divinely endowed with faith, understanding, and strength, and as I use these faculties, love comes naturally. I am a spiritual being, currently going through a human experience, and ready to accept the invitation to jump into the flow of good that comes naturally to me. |

Greening I behold fresh possibilities sparkling around me and good outcomes in the greening of the earth. I want for nothing, for I walk in green pastures beside the still waters. God is my instant, constant, Source, nourishing and refreshing me like a hidden spring. I behold the growth of spiritual unfoldment, first in mind and then in manifestation, like the greening of the earth

March Forth I am ready to “leave my nets,” and freely march forth! Those who really love me always free me to follow the ideals that I feel called to follow. I speak Truth with authority, giving “marching orders” to limiting conditions; and my words get results! Habits, obligations, fears, doubts, and material constraints all fall away; when the Christ in me says, “Follow Me,” I march forth! Don’t be shy, just show up as you’re able.

Power Move My real power is not in outer strength but in inner strength. I of myself can do nothing. But the power of God within me is mighty. Not by force, but by faith, Spirit moves through me. The greatest power speaks to me as a tiny whispering sound of the voice of Spirit and moves through me to change the world. |

Resolve to Evolve I take one step at a time, resolved to grow in spiritual understanding. I am resolved to build a more spiritual life and I shall not be moved. I am resolved to stand strong through the changes of life, unshaken by doubt or fear. I don’t have to be perfect yet, but I resolve to evolve. |

Your Prosperity: “The moment I let go and let God, my deepest dreams and desires manifest.” “Everything is already here.” “Everything is possible.” “I Am already everything I want to be, right now.” “It is never too late to be what I was meant to be.” “I take a good look at that shadow that I've been afraid of, and in doing that, give myself free choice to have spring all the time.” |

The World According to Jude There’s no worry anymore. You’ve made it home. Being home is richer than brilliant gold and priceless pearls. You’ve made it home. There’s no pain in all my world. You’ve made it home. Only peace is left in store. You’ve made it home. |
