FREEDOM By your conscious
realization and recognition of God’s Presence you will be delivered and freed
from Every adverse and undesirable condition. It will not be anything that any
man must necessarily do, from a personal point of view, which will free you. The
Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of God Is the source of all supply,
and will satisfy every good desire. It will reach every condition. It will
abolish every undesirable condition and circumstance, and deliver you from every
undesirable expression of life. It will give you joy beyond degree, and when you
realize and accept the Truth, that the same Christ is within you which was
within Jesus, that will set you free. Free from every untoward condition. ‘Tis
the saving Power of God manifested in the name of Christ. And when you Recognize
this, He will set you free from all undesirable conditions." "If the Son,
therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." The
Recognition of this PRESENCE is not the old idea of a Power which was invoked to
act by prayer. It is a sensing Consciousness of the Presence, which, when
recognized, turns hell into Heaven, debt into plenty, sickness into health, fear
into love, and unhappiness into joy. How does it make these sudden changes?
"By a way that ye know not of." There is no human reasoning that
can scale the lofty peaks of the Absolute God and tell what is the working of
His Mind. " His ways are past finding out"; then why waste any more
time trying to "find out" how the Power can neutralize evil? The Power
of the next dimension always sets aside all the hard and fast laws of the
dimension preceding it. Hence what is a hard and fast law in the two-dimensional
world is non-existent in the three-dimensional world, and so on. When Jesus came
showing this NEW way, which was past finding out, but which was the heritage of
every man who would actually Recognize the Presence, the old human reasoning
again said; "This cannot be." How can poverty be turned into riches?
Who can answer that question, "Canst thou by searching find out God?"
and, "Who hath known the mind of the Lord?" It is wonderful that we
are recognizing this, and letting go of the old mental ideas that we could
assist God, or make Him do something, of that we had the power to make God
operative. The old idea, so firmly fixed in the minds of many, is actually a
belief that God is only working when they are "knowing the Truth," and
that at all other times He apparently is absent and inactive. "Awake thou
that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light." "He watching over
Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps." The Power of God is always active, and
when you align yourself with this Power you set aside the so-called laws of the
three-dimensional universe in which you have lived. Hence when a man Accepts the
Presence of God as HERE and NOW, if he has been under the bondage of sickness,
he finds himself suddenly well. That which he called a "healing" has
been the action of the Revelation of his True Self--the coming out of the mists
of human belief and the Real MAN. It is Wonderful! Awake, arise, and shine, for
the light has come. The PRESENCE even
now, as you are reading, is all about you, within and without, awaiting
Recognition; and the moment of Recognition is the moment of the downpour of
blessings. "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich." Do you begin to
see that you--yes, you--as you are sitting reading this very line, are, at this
instant, able to function this glorious manifestation of Light, Life, and Love
into expression? It is Wonderful! You are thrilled and filled with the Presence
of the Holy Ghost, and the three-dimensional fears are gone. \ The Recognition
of the PRESENCE is what raised Lazarus and Jesus from the dead. The Presence
sets aside every human belief, no matter how time-honored or old. So the
recognition of the Presence will set aside, suddenly, every adverse condition or
undesirable expression. Do you begin of FEEL the Presence, the sense of
protection and immunity, that He gives you? "He giveth His beloved
sleep." There is sense of relaxation, a letting go as it were, when one
cognizes the Facts of Being Everything is in the hands of God, and it is well. As you are
reading, the Voice within is saying, "Fear not, it is I---Fear ye not, be
not afraid, "I am with you alway." It is so glorious. I am here NOW,
and I will show you a way out that ye knew not of, and that no person knew
anything about. "I am the Way"--do you hear? It is glorious, this
Recognition of the Presence. BE still; I have much to say to you in the secret
place. I have much Revelation to make to you when you are ready, and when you
cease going without, and trying to solve the mysteries of evil. They shall all
vanish away at the coming of the Lord. Blessings! Blessings! Blessings!
"Every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement, thou shalt
condemn." Every obstacle which impedes the outflowing of Truth shall be
moved away. See that you do not make yourself an "obstacle" to the
Truth in another. "Be not wise in your own conceits"--you do not have
to set the world right by pointing out all the people who are wrong in it. Every
criticism that you utter comes home for fulfilment one day--"watch, watch,
watch." Ye shall eat your own words." It is Wonderful! "Your
fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead." See that you feed
upon the manna that they knew not of. This is the Manna of the Presence. The
manna that your fathers did eat was the human beliefs about life and God It is
Wonderful. The Recognition of
the Presence can be made by a child; we are told that the Kingdom can only be
entered by the Child, so you see it is quite simple. Can you accept the Presence
of God, and once and for always acknowledge that He is stronger than any human
belief, and He does not fight against Evil? "Thou art of purer eyes that to
behold evil." At the coming of God into manifestation, the creation of man
fades out like a dream. His hard and fast beliefs melt like wax in a blast
furnace. The evil problem which has hovered about you for so long, and which
seemed to have the support of so many believing people, will melt as a snowball
cast into a white-hot fire; and all they that battled against thee and laid
snares to catch thee, shall fall into the ditch of their own making. It is
Wonderful! The Doors of the
Hidden Treasures shall suddenly be flung wide open unto you. The things that
have been told in secret shall be proclaimed from the house-tops of Recognition,
and the Heaven on Earth shall be made manifest, HERE and NOW. It is wonderful!
No man knows, or thinks of, or even senses, the glorious riches that are to be
poured out on you when you make this Recognition. "Awake, thou that
sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light." Christ is the Power within you
which makes your Oneness with the Father possible. The Recognition of
the PRESENCE of God causes the descent and the ascent of the Blessings of God! "The blessing
of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with its" "When
He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hideth His face, who
then can behold Him?" So in quietness
and peace the strength of the Presence is Recognized, and the
"quietness" is past all description. No matter in what a turmoil you
may have been, the "quietness" given by God cannot be troubled by any
man, belief, or power. The Presence goes before thee always, and makes the way
smooth. "A knowledge
of the Spiritual realities of life prohibits asceticism and repression, the same
as it prohibits license and perverted use. To err on the one side is just as
contrary to the ideal of life as to err on the other." The immunity with
which the Presence wraps you about is not that of overcoming’ it simply brings
you to the dimension where the things that were formerly true are no more so. A
man may desire protection and immunity from accidents so ardently that he
permits himself to be locked in a cell. He has gained his object, certainly, but
he has lost his freedom in so doing. So with man, who insists on getting his
immunity from evil from the outside. The immunity which comes through the
recognition of the Presence enables you to walk through what the human mind
calls evil, without experiencing any of the effects. Hence the H Hebrew children
in the fiery furnace--the same furnace which, to human belief even destroyed the
man who built the fire. It is wonderful! We do not have to run away from
evil" the Presence will take care of all of that. When you begin the
process of Recognizing God in everything, then the appearances of evil will
diminish, until they fade entirely out of the picture.
