If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 and 13

Do you live with limiting beliefs? A limiting belief is a belief that keeps you from obtaining or being or having something that you desire. Some examples of limiting beliefs are "I am too old to get a good job"; "Only people with college degrees are getting hired today"; "There isn't enough time"; "I don't have enough money"; "My doctor said I would never feel any better"; "My disease is incurable." Limiting beliefs seem very real when we believe in them.

There was a man who had very little money, but for years he had dreamed of going on a cruise. Life was a financial struggle for him, and he often had trouble making ends meet. He certainly didn't have the cash flow for something as extravagant as a cruise. With each year that passed, he continued to focus on going on a cruise. He kept his dream alive inside of him. He stayed open and optimistic. He had a belief. He had faith. Yet, he still had no cruise. What was the problem? The problem was that he believed that he had to have money, and a lot of it, before he could take a cruise.

A friend of the man suggested that he let go of thinking that he had to have money to go on a cruise. This meant letting go of the belief that he had to "pay" for the cruise and be open to other opportunities of supply coming to him. As it turns out, the man was a very good dancer and had taught some dance classes at his local cultural center. When the man let go of the thought that he had to "pay" for the cruise, he began to get creative ideas. He contacted several cruise lines and found that they wanted and needed people who could teach dance to their guests. Not only did he get to take the cruise he had always wanted, he got paid to do it!

Optimistic focus and holding to our dreams are crucial in the co-creation process. And being open to new ideas of how to achieve that focus and accomplish those dreams is absolutely necessary. The Mind of God is much more powerful than our minds. When we connect with that Spirit Within, we tap into that great creative Mind of God. God in our lives can do more through us than we can imagine.

Whatever you are desiring in your life, I encourage you to let go of your attachment to how it is to come about. Let your mind be a blank canvas using the prayer, "This is my desire (whatever you are desiring), or something better. I let go and release the means and the outcome to Spirit's highest creative demonstration. Thank you, God."

Are you aware of the Source of all things? There is no reason that anyone should be without anything that your heart desires as God word states “ ask and you shall receive”. Now here is where we run into problems we ask and then we try to fix it, we try to make it happen. The Spirit is one of infinite wisdom and abundant supply in all things. Love, health, happiness, wealth but you must activate your faith and think thoughts of abundance. The Source of this very Universe is willing.

You know life is sometimes very strange and hard to bear, we feel alone, scattered and as if there is no one on our sides. No matter who you are I bet you have felted this way… But I want to let you know today that God is always working, sometimes we see it, sometimes we feel it and sometimes we hear it. You are never alone, never… There is an army of angels, saints and departed loved ones in spirit that has your back every single day of your life. Tap into the divine within you and know who you are,but not only who you are but who you are. You can lick back and put your feet up while God is working and know that he always is.

Many Blessings to you!

There is a certain knack to writing affirmations. Keep your focus on the positive. Negative statements negate the purpose of affirmations. Keep your statements in the present. Futurist statements distract us from being present in the moment.

A statement such as I WILL BE RICH ONE DAY has the word-power to keep a person in poverty because the focus is that richness will come later. Later never comes, as we are always living in NOW. An example of a positive prosperity affirmation would read like this: I AM RICH or TODAY I AM PROSPEROUS.

Practice making a positive statement  every day that you awake until it becomes habit. Speak the life you desire into this moment.

SOUL MATE VS. PLAY MATE

In our quest for happiness we must be sure that we don't settle for a Playmate when God has a Soul mate waiting for us. Sometimes this is a hard distinction to make. Playmates are tricky. They are so much fun to be with that even the smartest of us will be fooled into thinking this has to be our Soul mate. Worse yet too many of us attempt to make a Soul mate out of a Playmate.

The danger of this is that later, after years of playing we will meet our Soul mate, but it may be too late then. We may have already made a Life mate of our Playmate and created life-long bonds (emotional, children, etc.) Or we may have been hurt from playing so hard that we are in no shape ourselves to be anyone's anything. How can we distinguish between the One, and just another one?

First, we must be open with ourselves about who we really are and what our soul yearns for. Only you and God know what is truly in your heart and mind. Only you know what will make you truly happy and whole.

In order to find your Soul mate you have to know you, first. You must be willing to listen to that inner voice. And is that voice telling you that the nerdy person you enjoy talking and sharing your thoughts with, could be he? What about that friend who is always willing to go the extra mile for you when no one else will.

Oh no! He's too short or too tall, balding or too hairy, and on and on?

Just too ordinary looking for me! Then there's that girl who makes you feel so special when you're around her, but she doesn't match that ideal you have conjured in your head. She's too tall, not slender enough, not light or dark enough, not shapely enough, not attractive enough, and on and on. She just couldn't be for me! So what if he or she doesn't look like Denzel Washington or Janet Jackson! He or she is going to treat you like the jewel that you are.

Not only that, his or her soul and yours will commune in ways you never imagined possible! In order to heed that voice, we have to put on the back burner our own superficial thinking. Could it be that your inner desire is for a truly genuine person with a good heart? If you enjoy playing, stay on the playground. There are plenty of Playmates out there to occupy your time. But don't spend too much time playing or you may play your life away.

Eventually the playing loses it appeal and your soul begins to crave a deeper, more meaningful connection. Your soul begins to crave your Soul mate.

Today was very interesting one, I spent alot of time in the silence and boy did the Angels talk to me.. I must share. So many people spend so much time trying to figure it out, wanting to know how to get more, be more, have more. We seek more education, more money, more fame, more popularity. Please know that theres nothing wrong with wanting more, but the problem lies when we simply don't realize that it is really not that hard to get.Simply God is the source of all things that you need and want, when God touches your life it matters not how educated, rich or popular you are. When God blesses your life you are truly that blessed from head to toe. Simply all you have to do is get close to him, he loves you and truly wants you to have your hearts desires.

The next time you're exploring nature, try this guidance ritual to get in touch with Gabriel.

BY: Richard Webster

Gabriel is willing to provide guidance whenever you wish. Here is an effective ritual that enables you to receive the benefit of her* advice whenever necessary.

Start by enjoying a pleasant walk. Ideally, this should be outdoors, but weather conditions might force you to indoors. Alternatively, you might like to drive to a shopping mall and walk under cover there.

While you are walking, look around and see how things you can locate that you are grateful for. You might be grateful for sunlight, the colors of fall, bookstores, automobiles, birds, grassy meadows, and the laughter of children. Obviously, if you are walking around your home you would come up with a different list. You might, for instance, give thanks for electric light, carpets, modern-day bathrooms, toothbrushes, and comfortable beds. Naturally, the things you are grateful for need not be “things.” You might give thanks for a warm smile, a gentle hand on your shoulder, a cooling breeze, and the gurgling sound of a stream. See how many blessings you can come up with during the course of your walk.

Walk for at least fifteen minutes. Half an hour would be even better. When you return home, sit down in a comfortable chair, close your eyes, and run through your list of things to be grateful for. Visualize each one of them in your mind.

Once you have done this, it is time to think about your guidance. Think about the problem in general terms. You might be wondering whether or not to take a certain course at college. You might be thinking about buying a house, having another child, or starting a new relationship. Most of the time, the problem will be one that you have not been able to resolve yourself, which is why you are calling on Gabriel. Alternatively, you may have reached a decision, and now want Gabriel’s approval of it before you proceed. It makes no difference what area of life you need guidance in. Gabriel will be happy to provide it.

Take three deep breaths, holding each breath for a few moments, before exhaling slowly. In your mind, ask Gabriel to join you. You might say something similar to this:

“Blessed Archangel Gabriel, thank you for all the blessings in my life. I am grateful for your guidance, inspiration, and purification. Please come to me, as I need your help.”

Pause for thirty seconds. If you sense Gabriel around you, continue with your request. If you feel nothing at all, repeat the request. Do this up to three times.

If you experience nothing at all, return to the list of things you are grateful for. Again, visualize them as clearly as you can. Once you have done this, ask Gabriel to come to you. This time, explain your problem or difficulty after making the request.

Wait for thirty seconds. Hopefully, you will sense Gabriel’s presence in that time. If not, repeat your request. There is no need to feel upset or concerned if Gabriel does not come to your aid immediately. You have told her what the problem is, and the answer will come to you when you least expect it. I find the most frequent time for a response is when I wake up the next morning, and I find the answer has miraculously appeared in my mind.

Whether or not Gabriel has appeared, the ritual finishes in the same way. First, thank Gabriel for her help, support, and guidance. Thank her for being part of the same divine source that provided the world with all the things you were giving thanks for earlier. Go through the list of items you are grateful for again, take three deep breaths, and open your eyes.

Just had to share this:::: Fran I just had to tell you about the blessings from the tithing that you teach. As you know I have been faithfully tithng and at first I was not. Long story short I went to pay a bill and I sent 3000.00 wire tansfer, well ...I got confirmation for money sent so I checked my bank balance the next day, the money was still there and my bill shows paid and it's a month later.... The money is stil there... Things like this don't happen and have never happen to me. I am so thankful for you and the Four Spiritual Laws of Proserity. You are truly doing the job of spirit and for you I am Grateful.

You cannot beat God giving there is just no way that you can,,, This is one of the ways that he says" Test me in this" Give your 10% today to where you are spiritually feed and watch God move~

By Dr. Wayne Dyer

Noise is a distraction to your highest self because it keeps your ego on red alert.

You live in a noisy world, constantly bombarded with loud music, construction equipment, jet airplanes, rumbling trucks, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and tree cutters. These human-made, unnatural sounds invade your senses and keep silence at bay. In fact, you’ve been raised in a culture that not only eschews silence but is terrified of it. The car radio must be on, and any pause in conversation is a moment of embarrassment that most people quickly fill with chatter. For many, being alone is a nightmare, and being alone in silence is pure torture. The famous scientist Blaise Pascal observed, “All man’s miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone.”

Make a conscious decision to reduce the noise level of your life. Noise is a distraction to your highest self because it keeps your ego on red alert. Learn to take time each and every day for quiet contemplation: For example, when you’re driving alone, turn off the constant chatter bombarding your inner world. Then when you arrive at your destination, honor the OFF button on the TV remote—and honor the ON button for your highest self!

Try to make meditation a daily practice as well, even if it’s only for a few moments. All creation stems from the void, the great silence—this includes the creation of a new you devoid of self-defeating thinking habits and accompanying excuses. As Swami Sivananda reminded his devotees: “Silence is the language of God.” Mother Teresa described silence and its relationship to God by saying, “God is the friend of silence. See how nature—trees, grass, grow in silence; see the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence…. We need silence to be able to touch souls.” This includes your soul!

All creativity requires some stillness. Your sense of inner peace depends on spending some of your life energy in silence to recharge your battery, remove tension and anxiety, reacquaint you with the joy of knowing God, and feel closer to all humanity. Silence reduces fatigue and allows you to experience your own creative juices. Ask in silence, listen in silence, and let silence be the jumping-off point for becoming one with the creative force of the universe.
