Blessed Night, Loves 😊

I Pray All Is Well With Everyone… And Your Hearts And Minds Are Full Of Love, Joy, And Compassion… For Yourselves… And Everyone Else… All Around The World. And Why Should We Radiate The Divine Love And Light Of Our Beings Throughout The World – When The World Is So Saturated With Everything That Is Opposite The Divine Love And Light Of The Living God? Well, This World That We Exist In… With All Of Its Chaos And Discord… Is Seemingly Disconnected From The Greatest Part Of Itself – Individuals Disconnected From Their Own “Mighty I AM Presence”. Still Tho, That Divine Love Is Natural Within All Of Mankind… Yet, Powerless To Effect Positive Outcomes In The World…When That Loving Energy Lies Dormant! However, When We Radiate The Divine Love Of Our Beings Throughout The Atmosphere… We Awaken The Power Of Our Loving Energy! And The Loving Energy Of The Individual Is Powerful; But The Loving Energy Of The Collective Wields Enough Divine Power To Propel All Of Mankind And Mother Earth… Thru These Spiritually Darkened Days Of The Present… To The Brilliant Days Of Humanity’s Future! Amen…   

Give Thanks And Praises For Love And Life…   

And Y’all Be Love…  

“Nature is indeed known to us only in a very limited degree, and known laws are few compared to the many unknown laws. And although the circumstances of the occurrence or miracles may appear unusual, they are never contrary to nature, but only contrary to nature as known to us, for everything that happens, or has happened, or will happen, can happen only through law. Also lack of knowledge creates a belief in miracles. Happenings which we cannot explain are miraculous to us and, as we never will know all, there will always be miracles. Moreover, things that an ignorant, undeveloped man considers miraculous are quite simple to the educated and learned philosopher.

Superstitious people consider all unusual things marvelous, everything not encompassed within the realm of their limited understanding. Furthermore, any event called miraculous now may easily cease to be so at some future time. Many things commonplace today would have been considered miracles not so long ago, for example, the wonders of electricity, radio, aeroplane, television, all these would have been called miracles a few years ago. The conquest of numerous diseases by science would have been regarded miracles a century back. Then, certain diseases meant certain death, for men did not know their cause and were powerless to effect a cure. So, knowledge dissipates miracles.

The greatest objection to miracles seems to be that facts are against them. Well, are they against them? Science declares that the universe is governed by great, natural laws, whose action is definite, constant and unchangeable; and for miracles to be produced these laws would have to be overridden, intermitted, or set aside. And this, scientists insist, cannot be done, for any interference with natural laws would instantly plunge the universe into chaos, if not destruction. They argue that natural law repudiates and rejects the idea of divine intervention; that God does not, and cannot, interfere with the laws He has created and controls. In other words, they believe that He is bound by His own laws.

Now, what is the nature of Deity? Is He omnipotent or is He not? He Is omnipotent and, therefore, is not bound by any law. If He created them, He can overrule them or destroy them. Some of the theories advanced by scientists who doubt the omnipotence of Deity are far more incredible, implausible, and improbable than the truth—which is that the All-powerful Supreme Being can and does intervene in the affairs of men. It is much more reasonable to believe that He cares for His creations than to accept the scientific theory that there is nothing but cold, natural law, devoid of feeling and intelligence. Apparently, men are not content to create God in THEIR likeness but must ascribe to Him their limitations as well.

In the study of miracles, we can discard all ideas of accident and violation of natural law. But we cannot dismiss the action of intelligent beings other than man controlling and regulating these laws, for no miracles are performed by law alone, as behind all law there are intelligent operators. If you deny the existence of beings other than man, you have a hopeless task accounting not only for miracles, but for many other events which frequently occur.

Intelligence or mind is master of natural law. A higher law can be employed to overrule and direct a lower one. Intelligence can override it, vary it, and use it however it will, and can make it work. Christ more than once hinted that, by an increase of power, ascendancy is gained over the lower and physical laws; that by faith, knowledge, and power, men may control things that are around them, just as the body can be made subservient to the mind power. Indications of it also pervade the history of the race down to our time.

The Bible unquestionably is the greatest history of miracles. Angels are frequently mentioned in connection with them, and the angels usually appeared in human form. Furthermore, it is evident they possessed extraordinary strength and great wisdom. Then the question arises: “Who are angels?” Angels were once human beings who have progressed to the status of angelhood, for life is immortal and progression eternal. Some are sufficiently advanced to have planetary authority and are superhuman to an indescribable extent. There are others who control the elements, and prayer for rain has been complied with innumerable times. Moreover, all grades of intelligences are utilized in some way as agents of the Almighty.

The Resurrection is regarded by many people as the most impossible of “miracles.” However, this event was not at all miraculous, but some of its interpretations certainly are. Why should anyone think it incredible that Christ rose from the “dead”? Nothing unusual about it. All people rise from the dead. No soul ever inhabits a grave, crypt, or tomb, but at death discards its material garment and rises in a spiritual body and continues life elsewhere. What makes the Resurrection take on the nature of a miracle, as defined by Hume, “a transgression of the law of nature”, is due to men’s ignorance of their true nature.

“If a man die, shall he live again?” This question has been pondered throughout the ages by all races of men. In the first records of any nation at all civilized or cultured, we find they believed in immortality. The Egyptians were among the first to furnish us with knowledge of this subject. Their architecture gives evidence that they believed in the life beyond. So do their mummies which are still in a preserved condition. In fact, all ancient races possessed this truth which, in time, was lost to the masses or distorted, but always a few have kept this knowledge alive. The minds of the untutored of every race could not conceive the idea of the life of the immortal soul as separate from the physical body. Hence, we have the embalming, pyramids, different methods of preserving the body, as once again, they believed it would be the dwelling place of the soul.

The same thing happened to the doctrine of the Christian religion. The rising of Christ from the “dead” was considered a physical resurrection, and even today there are people who firmly believe He resumed His physical body when three days later He appeared to the Marys and His disciples. But, contrary to this belief, Jesus rose in His spiritual body; clothed Himself with a temporary materialized body for the purpose of identification. In no other way would the doubting Thomas’ have recognized Him. He walked the earth forty days in this body. Though material, it was so ethereal that He appeared “suddenly in their midst.” “He appeared in another form, the doors being shut”, and He also, says the Evangelist, “vanished out of their sight.”

This power of materialization did not end with Christ. It still exists at the present time and has been witnessed by many. Every event and every act in the life of Christ were in accordance with natural law. All His life He taught the truth of immortality and, after His crucifixion, demonstrated it by appearing objectively to many people. Nothing unusual about this. Many people have done the same. Many departed souls have appeared to relatives and friends before the burial of their bodies. We know of instances where they returned within several hours after severing connection with their material forms. But no soul ever again assumes the physical body after death, for that, saying nothing about its impossibility, would be raising the body only to die again. The reference is to reclothing the spiritual body in such materialized garments as to be visible to the physical eye. At the time of the crucifixion, many spirit entities clothed themselves, or materialized, and appeared in Jerusalem.

… Prayer and the power of God figure conspicuously in the performance of all miracles, and there is no record of any authentic miracle ever having occurred without them. Christ always gave the glory of His accomplishments to God: “The Father in me doeth the works.” The prophets “cried out to God”, or “called upon God” before they performed any miracle. These men of God lived and died in prayer, for they knew that without Him they could do nothing.

… Healing formed an integral part of the ministry of the disciples and the apostles. And was it not their Master’s command to “raise the dead and heal the sick?” Jesus was eminently practical and knew that men were not interested in their souls while hunger gnawed at their stomachs, so He first fed the multitude and then preached to them. The Disciples, following in His footsteps, healed as they preached, and it was their healing which attracted the people. Human nature remains much the same. People are still more interested in obtaining relief from their physical afflictions than in the welfare of their souls. And is not the human organism one of the greatest miracles on earth? But men in their colossal ignorance, neglect, abuse, mutilate, and desecrate this holy of holies, the temple of the Living God.

… How often people say: “That certainly was a miracle.” They had missed a boat or train that met with an accident and loss of life. They were detained from keeping an engagement and, in doing so, avoided danger. Sometimes we are impressed to do certain things, or we have “hunches” to walk on another street, or avoid a particular place, and discover in doing so we avoided injury or disaster. Most people have miraculous escapes of which they are not even aware, for in truth “God has appointed His angels charge over us”, and they, seeing more clearly, warn us of dangers of which we know not.

… Another miracle dawning upon the horizon is the discovery of the unseen world. It is destined to become like a newly discovered continent. We shall see its inhabitants and we shall hold communion with them, and we shall marvel how many thousands of years could pass with our being in ignorance of their existence. Then immortality will no longer be a question of faith, conjecture or theory, but every man will know definitely that life follows life, and that death is a condition that has never existed. People do not all die at the same time, nor do they all arise at the same time.”
