“Why do you think you have the strength in those physical bodies? How much strength would be there if Life suddenly withdrew? They would just collapse and lie there helpless. So the strength is not there; it flows in and through the body, but it is not generated there.
I smile so many times as we move among the beloved Students among mankind, thinking they have to eat and eat and eat to have strength in the body. Well of course habit has made it seem necessary, but what would that food do in the body without this Life taking care of it? You would soon get overloaded, wouldn’t you?
Now this is very practical. Therefore, Beloved Ones, Life acts upon that food and withdraws the essence from it, or whatever is there. Some of it does not have so much, but do you know what the atomic structure of the body is?
It is the density gathered about those Points of Light, which is in your stomach cells, and what do you think that does? That habit is not satisfied unless there is a certain amount of substance in the stomach, regardless of what it is going to do there.
The Messengers and Staff have found out that they do not eat one third of what they did, and yet they are stronger than they were before.
I do not mean, Dear Ones, that until you grasp sufficient Fullness of the “Presence”, that you could suddenly leave off two thirds of your food; but as your attention goes to the “Presence” and is held there, the Love, Wisdom, and Radiance of the “Presence” will cause you to do perfectly the things you should do.
Then say, “‘Mighty I AM Presence’! cause me to do the Perfect Thing of the moment.” Then you will be fulfilling constantly everything which is required; and as you are raised in vibratory action through your attention to the “I AM Presence”, the undesirable things will surely and steadily drop away.
That is why We call your attention to these things, because if you will give obedience to this, you will find such Freedom in no time.
The Great Energy, Strength, Power, and Courage comes from your “I AM Presence”, because It is the Pure Essence of Life.
Saint Germain used to very often first gather the Substance together, and then afterwards, precipitate the Elixir of Life – and It produces marvelous results!
You today have the same Elixir of Life flowing into your bodies, exactly the same which He produced in outer Manifestation to mankind! They drank It and received the cleansing, purifying activity through the flesh structure!”
Mighty Victory
