Divine Substance for Every Soul

"Drop it like it's hot"

2009-11-23T06:44:00.000-08:00

'Drop it like it's hot' has become a popular saying. And this is precisely what I would like to use as an analogy for today's lesson.

If you were to pick up, let's say a mug or a bowl and you were not aware of the fact that they were hot. Would you not almost immediately drop it or quickly put it down as soon as you realize that they were in fact very hot?

We could compare the hot bowl or mug as Sin personality in us. In the course of our lives we have picked up some habits, and have developed some thought patterns that are not always positive or constructive. They are 'hot', in the sense that they can harm us, affect our health and our relationships, thus causing us pain and unhappiness. We must therefore drop them like they hot! Hebrews 12:1 tells us to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

When sin becomes our personality it possesses our minds and begins to rule our consciousness. We know we have lost control of the direction of our lives when the good we ought to do we do not do but instead do the bad that we don't want to do. Apostle Paul wrote in the 7th chapter of the book of Romans: "Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it".

We also understand that from his other letters that he overcame sin. Apostle Paul often wrote about dying and crucifying the old self, thus allowing his true Self Christ to now Live. And like him we can also realize our true divine nature by continuously refusing to allow sin to rule our thinking, thus allowing Christ to sit enthroned in our hearts. We must there become militant, meaning guarding our hearts from destructive thoughts and feelings that are causing us to be miserable.

The word 'sin', if it were to be translated from the original text, means 'to miss the mark'. It literally means that the human race 'has gotten it all wrong'. This is to say that the majority of us has chosen to live unconsciously. And because we are unaware of the true purpose of living we wrongly make use of the mind, thus wasting our substance, which is the divine life in us. And all of us must repent meaning change the direction of our lives by changing our mind.

Let's put it this way. If you were driving somewhere and realized that you had gotten lost, would you not quickly turn around and begin to look for the right direction; the one that would lead you to your destination. This is repentance. As soon as you realize that there is something within you that is not bringing you joy and happiness, you must repent from it or drop it like it's hot.

Now you may begin to look within yourself and do a deep soul search and identify the many times you have 'gotten lost'. You are destined to be happy and living and enjoyable life. And each and every time you failed to experience that you had simply taken a wrong turn somewhere. This does not mean you must get punished, so avoid feeling guilty and condemned. Just turn around and repent as this light (this teaching)is helping you to see the way to true salvation.

Here it is important that I mention that as soon as you begin to search the heart you will uncover some things that may be unpleasant; things you have said and perhaps done in the past that may have directly or indirectly cause pain to yourself and others. At this point it is crucial that you allow the Holy Spirit to help you for the heart is very sensitive and your emotions can get a hold of you. So don't be quick to do anything on your own strength by trying to 'fix things up'. The real change must be a change of heart. What will provoke such change is HEALING. So allow the Holy Spirit to not only heal every past wound, but to also bring light (new understanding)in everything you have experienced thus far. And stay in that healing period for as long as needed. When you are ready to take any actions He will guide you.

Now here is a suggestive prayer

Father, I know you are the Light and Life that has brought me forth into this world. My journey in this earthly realm has not always been pleasant. But now I know it is my divine right to live a peaceable and enjoyable life. I am ready to 'drop' everything that has caused me to experience pain and unhappiness. O Lead me most Holy Spirit to the way of happiness and peacefulness now and forever. Take my heart Christ Jesus shape it, take my mind mold it into your very own. And it is in your name I pray and seal this prayer, As I also vow to desire you and you alone. Amen!

Now take a moment, meditate on these words, feel this prayer and let a new energy overtake your entire being.

I will see you in Spirit. Have a happy meditation.

Fear Not

2009-10-29T11:04:00.000-07:00

“…But perfect love casteth away fear…” (1 John 4:18)

We are afraid of what others may think or say about us, because we don’t know the truth about ourselves. We are also afraid of other people reactions, because of our lack of confidence in what we say and do. We avoid certain situations, because we don’t want emotional pains, which are usually based on some past experiences. We are hesitant about making life decisions, because we want to prevent ourselves from making mistakes.

Clearly fear can become a major hindrance in our lives. And here are the major areas that are directly infected by fear:

1. The freedom to discover ourselves
2. The boldness and confidence to express ourselves
3. Our ability to freely make life decisions

Now let us find a solution. First and foremost, we must rediscover our perfect self expression by asking some fundamental questions about ourselves; one of which is: “what is my life‘s goal?”

Our life’s goal is to rediscover our true selves. To rediscover our true selves is to know we are the image and the likeness of God. In other words, we are God's offspring. This is to say, God is love and we are the embodiment of love. Love is our true nature.

Our purpose here on earth is to realize God and to only know him as Love. It is this knowledge that gives us true identity. This is a powerful knowledge. But it must not be a head knowledge. We must daily affirm this truth until it becomes our consciousness. Meaning until it becomes part of our overall thinking and believing. Once this is done, fear is vanquished!

The victory over fear is quite simple. All it takes is practice. What I mean by practice is faith and consistency.

Here are some suggestive affirmative prayers. Use them verbally early in the morning and at night right before you go to bed. Choose one affirmation and memorize it. During the course of your daily activities you may pray it in your heart over and over again, until it is crystallized in your soul.

Your faithfulness to this simple practice will show an amazing result in a short period of time.

Here are the suggested affirmations:

God is love. I am made in the image and the likeness of Love.

God is love. I am the embodiment of love.

God is love. I am love. I see love in everything and in everyone.

God is love. I am love. I think in love, I act in love.

I do nothing on my own. Love does everything through me.

Chasing after the Wind

2009-10-09T11:34:00.000-07:00

We are so caught up in what seems urgent, our daily to-dos, that we often neglect what is important, realizing true happiness and peacefulness. A lot of us are lonely, bitter, discouraged, and some of us have simply given up on finding the true meaning of life and our existence. But most of us are still chasing after the wind.

Our society is structured in such a way that all of us at one point or another have been victimized by its system. And sadly to say the majority of us are still unconscious of its effects on the human soul.

The other problem is we seldom take the time to appreciate our lives because we are often too busy trying to change it, fix it or simply finding something wrong with it. The reason we don't appreciate our lives is because we are confusing life, our essence, our very core with our life experiences. And that is pricesely why we are always unsatisfied with the outcome of our lives.

Today take the time to focus your attention on your life (within) instead of your life experiences (without). And if you really desire to change the outcome of your life you must then bring your awareness within.

What does that really mean to bring your attention within? The outward manifestations of our life could be summarized as our health, wealth,success, our relationships, and so on. People tend to measure their level of happinesss based on these experiences. But all of these things are subject to change and are temporal. And chasing after them can only provide a short time relief. This is what Salomon in the bible calls chasing after the wind.

The conflicts we experience within and sometimes in our relationships is based on our attachment to the material world. And the more we are attached to these things, the less we take the time to appreciate the life of God in us. And the light of that life gets dimmer and dimmer as time passes us by.

And that is how man stays in ignorance, he walks in darkness. His attachment to the outside world veils the presence of the life of God within. Though this life is present in every cell of his body. Man's real success and true happiness are closer to him than he realizes, except he barely takes the time to recognize this truth about himself.

Today allow the light of these truths to awaken the Christ life within. Feel the divine energy and intelligence that is making your entire body function. Become one with this life. Appreciate it, bless it and remain in that pure awareness for as long as you can. Learn about the members of your body and their specific function. Praise the God-life in every cell of your body and thank the divine mind that is making every organ perform day and night.

This is one way you can practice being instead of doing, loving instead of accusing, pausing instead of chasing. And the more you acknowledge the within the better your without. Love your life and watch and see how life begins to reshape your experiences.

Exchanging our Sorrow for Rejoicing

2009-05-05T10:59:00.000-07:00

"...I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing." Jer 31:13b (NLT)

You know at any given time in our lives and throughout our various experiences we are always given an opportunity to see things in a different light. The light of Truth. It is always up to us to be willing to see things differently and to seek Christ vision instead of the world’s. Christ Vision is our Gift from God. It is the Holy Spirit purpose to help us see things in a higher realm of consciousness thus aiding us in transcending the personal ego and the false light that comes from the concepts of the world.

Each time we experience sorrow or pain we are quick to say things like: "life has handled me a bad hand", or "God is punishing me", we are quick to judge ourselves, others or the situation at hand based on our own understanding. But who are we to judge? The bible tells us to rely not on our own understanding. We must therefore ask the Spirit of God for clarification instead of making our own assumptions.

We are destined to be happy. We know this to be true because we are constantly seeking for joyful and happy experiences. When we experience sorrow, however it is a good indication that something is missing deep within. It simply means that we haven't yet realized certain truths and the Spirit of God is calling us higher. The Voice for Truth within is ready to bring us to higher knowledge of Truth. We simply need to acknowledge this and be willing and happy to learn as we look forward to hear His Voice.

The real cause of sorrow is ignorance of Truth. Truth is reality. Reality is God. When we ignore the truth about our true selves we walk in darkness of ignorance, which leads to bondage. The soul is then imprisoned within our own minds due to our own erroneous beliefs.

Every time we become disturbed due to a particular situation, event, person or whatever images or thoughts that come to mind, we are given an opportunity to exchange our sorrow for rejoicing. We simply need to change our minds about how we define sorrows. In reality they are indications of the need for new understanding, new light, and ultimately the higher knowledge of Truth that will liberate the soul.

You see a lot of times we may desire something, maybe to become more loving or forgiving, or we may have set for ourselves some other spiritual goals. But at times in order for the Spirit to bring us to the manifestation of those desires it is necessary that we experience some torments within our soul, so to speak. At first it may seem like a period of darkness.

Nevertheless you must not fret but rest assured that your soul is being liberated as the ties are coming loose. It could be various ties. I am talking about attachments to the material realm. It is when we erase from our consciousness the belief that something outside our Source, who is God, is able to make us whole or save us. Every time the soul becomes detached you may experience some disturbance, and this is perfectly fine. The degree of the torment is parallel to the level of attachment. The more attached you are the more difficult and more painful it is to become detached.

These are growing pains and as you experience them learn to go on and rejoice, for the more you detach from the material realm, the more you become attached to God. this is inevitable. You are then being set free my friend! Go on rejoicing and saying: "I thank God for experiencing this sorrow or torment or suffering or pain", or whatever you wish to call it. Praise God for the lessons you are able to draw out of each experience as you allow the light within to shine new understanding in your consciousness.

In Him,

"The Lord is on My Side"

2009-04-17T02:19:00.000-07:00

Said David, and I will not fear.

With the power of the universe on our side there is nothing to be afraid of. We experience fear, lack and limitations of all sort simply because we are not truly siding with the Lord. And consequently we begin to feel disconnected from our Source, everyone and every aspect of creation.

Ponder on this one for a while, you have infinite, power, wisdom and love at your disposal. Think about inexhaustible supply, divine providence, loving kindness, tender mercies and the list goes on unto eternity.

There is a supply for every demand. We shall not want if we truly side with the Lord, we shall not lack nor fear if we seek his face (mind) and his ever-present help in time we believe there is a need.

If we look around us we will become aware of God’s abundance and limitless supply throughout creations. The universe perfectly displays the riches of God’s glory. Think about the different galaxies, planets, trees, plants, animals, sea creatures, the immensity and the variety that is so evident in everything our eyes behold. How about the very air that we breathe, do we ever wonder if there will be enough for tomorrow?

He has given us all things pertaining unto life and godliness, Apostle Peter wrote. We only need to learn how to appropriate all that is ours by divine rights. In other words we only need to learn how to side with the Lord.

If you stand on top of a hill you will have a better view than someone else who is at the bottom. We transcend the realm of limitations, fear and lack thus operating in a higher consciousness When we align our minds with the divine. We do so by putting ourselves in the right relationship with God through comprehension and appropriation of divine truths. And we accomplish the same through devotion, prayer or meditation on divine principles. This is how we begin to see things differently; things that others cannot see. Our perception changes through the right use of the mind.

We have inherited two great gifts; it is intelligence and will power. We can decide to do whatever we want and it is up to us to use the intellectual aspect of the mind to seek spiritual knowledge and divine understanding of Truth; thus deciding to side with the Lord and not the world.

David wrote: "It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in Man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes". He had made a decision to always side with God and his devotion to God was evident throughout his writings.

It is up to each one of us to make this decision as David had;to side with the Lord no matter what challenges, situations, or current life events we may be facing. If we choose to believe in lack instead of abundance we are not siding with the Lord, if we choose to believe in sickness instead of health we are not siding with the Lord. If we choose to believe in anything that is not of eternal truth we are not siding with the Lord.

It does not matter what your apparent situations maybe whispering to you, you must deny their suggestions, that you are poor, in need, unhappy, sick, the worst of the sinner, etc…Instead walk with the absolute confidence that ye are sons of the Most High as Jesus put it. A son resides in the house and has access to everything that belongs to the father. Jesus said in his prayer to God “all thine are mine”. You are one with God, thus one with ALL that IS. Apostle Paul said God is all, in all.

God is not withholding anything from us, To believe this is to believe in a lie. He has already given us everything we need. So there is no need to beg him or force his hands or say if it is God’s will I shall have. Simply receive it through the power of your word and through prayer. Than believe you already have ‘all that is yours’. Act as if you have it now thus enjoying it constantly in the present moment.

Choose to side with Life instead of death, with love instead of unforgiveness, with abundance instead of lack, with perfect health instead of sickness, with oneness instead of separation, with infinite possibilities instead of limitations. Is anything too difficult for God?

For in Truth you are one with the all pervading substance, divine mind, every where present, all wise, all knowing, diseaseless, deathless, opulent, eternal life principle, namely God. Therefore whose side are you going to lean on? It is evident, isn't it?

In Him,

The Joy of My Salvation

2009-04-15T08:45:00.000-07:00

Do you recall the joy you felt the day that you were 'saved', some call it 'born again', others term it 'received Christ'.

It did feel like you have found something precious didn't it, like unto a treasure. Something that was hidden in you but you were unaware of up until then. It is this awakening of eternal life, peace and joy. A lot of people describe that experience as the most meaningful day of their lives. The joy of salvation, there is nothing like it, isn't it? The day that you received Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Our master said: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.(Matthew 13:44)

The joy of our salvation is not supposed to be something that we experience once in our lifetime. As a matter of fact each time we enter the prayer closet within we should experience it over and over again, and it should also intensify.

I believe a lot of people did discover that hidden treasure. In their intensive search for a new life they have turned to God. And perhaps with the help of others have studied the bible and have 'received Christ'and were overjoyed that day; the day of their 'salvation'.

The problem is many have stopped there, they have failed to 'work out their salvation as Paul admonished us. Many people can help you receive Christ or lead you to him but it is up to you to personally work it out.

Jesus said once we find the treasure that has been hidden in the field, we will be so thrilled, so overjoyed that we will hide it again and sell everything we posses in order to possess the entire field. As we know Jesus was teaching in parables. Every word means something, we can actually increase our faith by digging deeper into each word in order to get the honey out of the comb so to speak and that is how we receive revelation knowledge from the Spirit. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives Life.

The things that we must sell (give up) are the things that we are attached to in this realm. Those are the things that our soul has clinged to since the begining of our individual journey in this earthly realm. And the truth is the more attached we are to those things, the more difficult it will be to possess that treasure field (the entire kingdom).

You see God is the one experiencing Himself through our physical bodies. He is therefore our only Source and Provider. When we begin to rely on anything besides him for our physical, mental, spiritual, emotional needs we will inevitably become attached to some other source outside of ourselves. Then we will depend on that source instead of God which will make our journey here on earth painful and difficult.

It is like this let's suppose you were going on a road trip, the lighter you travel, meaning the less luggage, the more pleasant will be your trip, the more luggage you bring along the more uncomfortable you would be. In the same manner we are here on a journey the more we detach the easier the journey will be. Meaning the more we rely on God and solely on him the more we become attached to him and detached from the world.

Selling everything or become completely dettached does not necessarily mean giving up your material possessions, we may be attached to certain beliefs or principles that are not based on Truth and have polluted our minds. We may find it hard to let go of some character issues or some habitual 'sins'.

What is it that you must sell in order to experience the joy of your salvation over and over again? Look deep within yourself, what are some habitual sins, some mindsets that have hindered your spiritual work and stolen your joy. David said: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation while repenting of his sins. Repentance is not a one time deal or something we experience once in our lifetime prior to baptism or receiving Christ as many call it.

Repentance is being like a little child each time we come to God in prayer, and asking him to fill us with his substance. Each time we must empty ourselves that he may renew our strength. We must come as if we dont know anything, like a virgin soul. We must be vulnerable. That is the only way we can experience the joy of our salvation, over and over again.

And that joy is your strength my friend. That is the Joy of the Lord.

Here is the challenge you must believe and without a shadow of a doubt that in you are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Which is Christ in You, the kingdom of heaven. It is the fount of everlasting Joy and Life and Love.

The other challenge is to make up your mind to turn inward for your every need. Turn inward my friend, for nothing outside of you is able to save you.

In Him,

Whom Shall I Fear?

2009-04-14T02:04:00.000-07:00

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear"? Psalms 27:1

When darkness surrounds us a feeling of fear arises. Just as a little child would be afraid to fall asleep once the lights are turned off in his room at night.

Darkness signifies mortal or error thoughts. Darkness represents sin. To Sin simply means to have missed the mark of truth.

When we are facing challenging or confusing situations we are tempted to become fearful as doubt and fear fill our hearts. This is the precised moment to seek for truths through divine understandings. We must make every effort to allow the Mind which was in Christ be also in us. The Christ Mind is the light of the world.

You must make up your mind to not be afraid when mortal thoughts seem to creep in your mind, but instead you must declare boldly like David 'The Lord is my light and my salvation Whom Shall I fear?' David also said 'when the wicked even mine enemies and my foes came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell'.

That was David's conviction, they (his enemies)shall, meaning they must necessarily come to nothing. He had absolute faith in the God power in him to overtake his enemies.

The Truth in us, The Christ in us is the power of God unto Salvation, we must therefore turn inward and through our words whether spoken or silent defeat those mortal thoughts (our enemies).

Those enemies and foes are thoughts of doubt, fear and confusion they are like an army waging war against our soul. This is the time to affirm that the Lord is the strength of my life. As you speak the word with conviction and boldness you become strong as a supernatural strength floods your soul. It is divine energy, the power of God in you doing for you what you could not have done on your own strength.

When facing darkened situations you must not avoid them, or run away from them, you must use the truths that you know in order to face them. If you were to go to war and as soon as you see your enemies you begin to run they will overtake you. That is how the enemies,our own mortal thoughts at times get the best of us and rule our minds and hearts.

You must therefore remain in the dark so to speak until light comes. You will notice that at first once the light is shut in the room, the room would seem completely dark and you may not be able to recognize a single item. But if you continue to look around little by little you will recognize the table, the chair, the chest etc.

How long should you sit in the dark?,Well until light comes. You must wait on the Lord as you seek his face, meaning his mind. That is how we commune with Him and that is how he leads us and directs our paths. As we learn to wait on Him, wait on the Light of truth.

Every darkened situation we may face is an opportunity to seek the Christ Mind, to seek the Truth. Next time you are facing such challenge enter the closet prayer within and speak to your father who knows your heart and your needs and ask for light, meaning understanding of truth. And may this truth that you know make you free and save the soul each time from temptation, from sin and darkness.

The truth is there is nothing to fear if you set your heart and mind on Truth, on God.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Do not be afraid of fear

2009-04-02T08:11:00.000-07:00

To be fearful is a good indication that you are relying on your own strength instead of God’s. It clearly reveals that you are unaware of the all-pervading substance of divine power that is at your disposal upon your request. Ask and it shall be given to you.

When you are afraid you are seeing something that is not really there, for in God there is nothing to fear. God is love and love is all encompassing, everywhere present, all knowing and all-powerful. If we see something besides God or love we are seeing a friction of our own imagination, thus calling it into being. Yes our minds are that powerful. If we can conceive it in our mind we can achieve it.

This is why it is important that we make a habit of thinking and pondering on divine truths and that we read, watch and listen to things that are inspirational; meaning of the Spirit of God. These constitute the true substance our souls need.

The human soul longs for peacefulness. It is a state in which we are contented and happy. When our hearts feel anxious or fearful our soul wants to bring into our awareness the fact that something has gone wrong within and need some fixing. It is telling us that there is an area in our consciousness that is darkened thus needing the divine light of God. This is the process of soul development; to seek higher truths and knowledge that will set the soul free from fear, anxiety and disempowerment.

To be fearful is to believe in the existence of evil, thus creating it or attracting it into your life experiences. Evil has no real substance of existence, it is like a parasite that lives off erroneous beliefs and concepts in the minds of the ‘separated ones’; those who view themselves as being apart from God who is The infinite, creative source of only Good.

Once we stop believing in the existence of evil, evil will cease to exist. It is our beliefs that create it. We must believe only in Good, in God and see no evil, thus denying its apparent reality first in our minds then in our body and affairs.

Next time you are afraid of fear don’t be fearful. Detach yourself from the situation and become an observer. Play the scene in your mind as if you were watching a movie. See all the people involved and perhaps the different agencies. Now you are the screenwriter, this is your movie simply change the script. You are in control of your own mind and life, you can decide the kind of thoughts you want to think of or imagine, and you can see the outcome that would make you happy and contented instead of projecting what you are seeing right now. See the situation resolved and you and everyone else happy.

In Him,

Another Chance at 'Life'

2009-03-24T06:35:00.000-07:00

I am not referring to ‘life’ as we often define it- being born, growing up, going to school, getting married, starting a family or a career and so on. Those are in fact the outward manifestation of the ‘life’ I am talking about here.

This life is your innate ability or your God-given potentialities to create the experiences that will bring about peace, balance and order in your every day life events. You have the power, through your words, thoughts and actions, to decide each and every day how you are going to spend your energy and what you are going to attract into your life and your future.

Jesus said: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Notice Jesus said take no thought for your life, then later he added is not life more than meat, so clearly he was talking about another aspect of life. Life as outward manifestation and life as divine substance.

A lot of us spend our energy on the without rather than the within. That which you need to make your life work is in the inside. The life of God in you is more important to God than anything else you may desire. That life is the fountain of wisdom and power within your heart. God’s power is at your disposal and his wisdom is here to guide you in all of your life decisions, but you must first seek his counsel and trust his guidance.

By taking a good assessment of your life you may notice some things you could have done differently. If you are completely honest with yourself you may also realize that you are not truly happy because you are not living your life to its fullness. You may have tried everything you know in order to be contented and perhaps your soul may be longing still for that state of perfect peace.

Well right now you have another chance at life by recognizing the divine energy within your soul. It is the breath of God in you. It is in essence, this divine life that is causing you to will and to act. It is in this life, as Apostle Paul described it, that you live, move and have your being. You are, in truth, the expression of divine life. And you can make this life work for you and not against you starting right this minute.

You only need to bring your mind into perfect relation with His Source. The source of Life within; namely God. Then seek to know who you truly are. I can tell you this to begin with you are not what you think you are, you are not what others think you are; you are what you are, eternal being.

Commune with God, your true Source, see the reflection of his image in you. Hold on to that perfect image by continually affirming that you are his beloved son and you are as he created you; perfect. As you continue to do so the divine life in you will overflow your entire beingness carrying you into the springs of eternal living waters. Then daily make the commitment to stay connected to your source that you may continually drink from it.

Today believe that you are the Son of the living God, you have the life of God in you, therefore you have his abilities.

Today walk in the absolute conviction that you are able to live and create the life that you deserve starting right now. Don’t delay, now is the time. This is not complicated, for God himself wants to express his nature through you, He only needs your cooperation. Be obedient, be willing.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Are you willing to 'see' things differently?

2009-03-11T06:22:00.000-07:00

"And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell," Mark 9:47

Are you willing to see things differently? Are you willing to change for good and live the life of dominion you are destined and entitled to live? If yes, It all begins with the way you 'see' or perceive. It also depends on which sight you are perceiving your world from. Are you using your physical sight or your inner sight.

Our body sight, which comprises what we perceive through our physical senses, often leads us into error and this is why Jesus admonishes us to get rid of such sight and that it is better to enter into the kingdom with one eye. This one eye is our Inner eye or inner sight. It opens a whole other realm to us. It is the realm of God; which is Ultimate reality. This inner sight gives us access through Christ vision which is the basis for our salvation and freedom.

Beyond everything our physical senses see, hear, feel, hear and smell there is another reality, it is substantial reality. It is what our physical sight cannot see nor perceive. We can only enter into the kingdom of God within through this inner sight, which is wisdom. Wisdom is insight into reality.

Instead of saying this happens because of that, it is better to seek spiritual insights. We gain insight by asking questions. Instead of telling something what is it, it is better to ask instead of relying on your own judgments. There is truth and light beyond every error and darkness that you perceive.

This is why the bible also teaches us in the book of proverbs not to rely on our own understanding. As we experience different things through our soul journey on earth, we are often quick to jump to conclusions and to give our own meanings to things. And that is how we create laws. These laws begin to govern our minds and hearts. But they are really based on a false sight. They attract negative energies into our lives for they are from a lower level of vibration.

For example we judge and condemn ourselves and others based on our own understanding. There was a man born blind in the bible and Jesus’s disciples perceived that he was blind because of His parents sins, but Jesus told them He was blind so that the glory of God may be revealed. False perception leads us into error and blocks the manifestation of God's goodness into our lives.

As we experience some adverse situations and conditions we are quick to assume that life has handled us a bad hand, and that it is fate, bad luck or destiny for us to be poor, miserable, sick or whatever other lies we may have heard in our heads and invested our faith in. However once we are quickened within we look beyond the physical appearance of things to connect to their substantial nature and meaning.

When Jesus saw the dead girl, he said she was not dead but asleep. Jesus denied what his physical senses were perceiving because he only knew one reality, the reality of the kingdom of God within. And he made his abode there. And that is how he performed all his miracles.

We have also inherited this great kingdom of light. We have access through it and we may enter it once we are determined to no longer judge and interpret things from our own understanding. Only when we are willing to change and to see things differently and making this our top priority do we truly begin our spiritual journey on this earth.

This willingness and determination is your passport to enter into the kingdom within. Wisdom is ready to guide you and the Ultimate Teacher resides within you. You are equipped with all that you need in other to save your soul from the false impressions of this world and make this spiritual journey on earth. However salvation can only be where salvation is needed; within. You must enter the house of wisdom within.

Are you ready to see today, are you willing to allow Truth and Love (God within) to quicken your inner sight through divine understanding?

That which you see is that which you manifest. Jesus said I am from above, you are from below speaking to the Pharisees. He was operating from another sight/reality. When you look at Life what do you see? When you look at this world what do you see? When you look at your present circumstances or contemplating your future, what do you see?

Are you willing to see things differently beginning now? This is the beginning of a new Journey.

Today refuse to perceive your reality from the false sight. Judge not according to your own interpretation. Maybe you believe that you are facing a dead end situation, a dead end job or perhaps a dead end relationship. Speak Life into those situations, say positive words and seek divine understanding and insight. Deny what your physical sight is perceiving. Exchange your eye for your EYE.

It is better to enter into the kingdom with one eye. May wisdom guide you today and forever. Amen!

In Him,

Dying now, rather than later

2009-02-06T08:11:00.000-08:00

The sooner we die to the flesh the sooner we can resurrect the Christ in us and others. The sooner we die to the old life the sooner we can walk in the newness of divine life.

The flesh is the race belief in mortal thoughts that are based in error or human wisdom, which is not a wisdom at all. For what does darkness have in common with light?

The flesh is what the Bible terms the carnal mind, and all of us have been affected by it one way or another. It is the false belief in separation from God and others, the false belief in another source of power outside of ourselves which is the cause of evil. And unless we are set free of those beliefs we will fail to realize our true self; which is 'Christ in you, the hope of glory'.

To die now is to deny completely the false ego personality that has been born out of human consciousness. A consciouness that has been based on false or limited concepts and knowledge of divine truths.

Our purpose is to undergo soul development by desiring to be set free from the race belief in sin, sickness and death and by acquiring the divine knowledge that will make us free.

However unless we first transcend the false ego and die to the flesh it will be impossible to ascend to the Christ within.

The ideas that we invest our faith in become our belief system and our belief system create our personalities. If those ideas are based on false or limited knowledge our personalities will be affected.

The person or the ego that has been created out of those erroneous beliefs are not your 'true divine self'. That is why you must not accept it and therefore must deny it. The bible says to put on the new self. Christ is our new Self, that has been created in the perfect image of his creator.

This is why Jesus taught that we must be born again, but unless we first die we will not experience the new birth or the regeneration of the soul.

Jesus said: "if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

In other to be a true follower of Christ Jesus we must crucify sin on the cross the same way Jesus did. His body represented 'the sin of the world' or the 'carnal mind'. Sin, which is also the false personality in man, died and was nailed on the cross. Thus Jesus overcame the 'world'. We must continuously crucify and nail the thought patterns that derive from the 'carnal mind'. Which are thoughts based of some sort of limitations. We must daily cross them out of our consciousness. And relive the rebirth experience by resurrecting into the newness of life each and every day until we attain the full statute of Christ as the bible teaches us.

This is 'working out your salvation' . It is a daily commitment to deny the flesh its desires and demands for you are no longer subjected to the law of sin and death. That means you no longer have to obey its commands or suggestions. But rather you must make all of your thoughts and desires subjected to The Law of the spirit of Life. (Christ in you) is your true guiding light, your source of infinite wisdom and power.

In other to allow the light of Christ to shine through you, you must first accept who you are and daily position yourself in 'the light' of the glory that is in you. The true light that reveals your divinity and your identity in God.

You must also believe that you are not the person or the false ego that has been born out of negative belief of the world system. When adverse thoughts of guilt and condemnation seem to invade your mind you must put them to flight and deny their suggestions by affirming who you truly are in God through Christ.

As certain images or memories of the old unregenerated self come to mind be careful not to become emotionally attached to them as feelings of guilt may arise. Dwelling in those feelings will hinder your soul development. It is better to practice detachmemt. See your old self as someone you used to know, deny your identity to it and affirm your true divine identity. However do acknowledge that you acted out of ignorance, and trust the divine presence in you to guide you to 'the way everlasting'. This is repentance.

When adverse thoughts, memories, past events or deeds arise to your conscious mind speak to them with boldness and authority and say: "I am a new creation in Christ Jesus". The old is gone and the new has come. God is now doing a new thing in me. Behold Christ has made all things new". That is how we put on the Christ. It is a daily work and commitment. Just as we put on our clothes and take care of our physical body each and every day we must make the same effort to take care of our soul.

Today make a conscious decision to no longer allow the voice of the false ego dictate your life. Christ has made you free. No longer are you subject to those negative thoughts of limitations and lack. Spirit is infinite being, wisdom and power. You are no longer conditionned by the world collective beliefs in sickness and death. Arise above those conditions right now and take your rightful place in Christ with God in the heavenly places.

Those erroneous thoughts patterns have crippled you for far too long, thoughts of guilt, condemnation or disempowerment. Put those thoughts to flight and cross them out even now! Tell them you only obey one voice and that is the Voice for God, the indwelling Holy Spirit in you, your true guide.

'You are able and more than able' to achieve all of your heart desires! The wisdom and power of God is in you and you lack no good things, claim all that is yours by divine right. Claim everything now! Now is the time! Claim perfect health, divine wealth, perfect self expression and divine love! This is walking in the newness of life, death (thoughts of death) have no power over you!

In Spirit and In truth,

A. Danielle Dagba

God Suffices Me

2009-01-11T07:23:00.000-08:00

God suffices you. Accept this simple truth and be free from the belief in lack or the illusion of needs. When God is enough you shall not want. In this realization you completely identify yourself with your Source (God), until you become like your source. This is what it means to abide in the secret place of the most high. It is a complete surrender to the free flow of the divine essence within.

The more you become aware of God within and the more you acknowledge him as Infinite Supply, divine providence, and pure guidance the more you trust Him. This is not trusting by saying that He will provide, but believing that He has already made a provision for your every need. This is perfect faith.

God suffices you. Trust this simple idea and no longer will you feel the need to rely on any other sources outside of you. In truth those are illusions, for there is but one Source, one Cause who is God manifesting in various ways through different individuals to meet our needs as we rely solely on his infinite wisdom and love.

God suffices you. Believe this today and let this divine understanding heal every heartache, resolve every issue and set you completely free from any bondage you may be currently experiencing. Let this divine light expose and dissolve any form of darkness that may have been hindering your process to God realization. Let this divine idea sink within your heart and liberate it from fear and confusion.

God suffices you. Believe he has already made a way where there seems to be no way. Rely not on what the world or others may be saying concerning you, but rather delight yourself in the law of the Lord. This law is written in your heart the bible says. Seek within and keep on trusting your True and only Source.

God Suffices you, Though this world has taught you in so many ways to rely on sources outside of ourselves, such as our jobs for security, our bank account for money, our loved ones for love, our mentors or teachers for guidance, our spouses or children for happiness, social events for joy, vacation and other leisured activities for enjoyment and they are countless other examples.

God Suffices You. The reality is God is infinite Supply. There is no limit to what God can do for you, through you and with you. We interfere with the infinite when we block its free flow within, meaning when we limit God activities in our lives because of our own limited conception of him. We also interfere when we assume that God should move this way or that way. He is not limited to our immediate circles of friends, or to our bank accounts, or our jobs. God is not limited by time and space. Let God be Jehovah and trust Him to find the proper means to manifest your heart desires.

God suffices you, for He is infinite Power! Have you pondered on this truth alone! The power of the universe is at your disposal. Therefore what is it that you could possibly need and God is unable to provide? Simply rest in his sufficiency today. Continue to seek Him first by acknowledging the pure essence within you, which is the pure life and intelligence that is causing you to be, to move and to live. He is your true Cause, your only Source and all your needs are already met in Him.

"God Suffices Me". Keep saying and believing this truth as it liberates you from relying on the illusions of this world and to connect you to the everlasting spring within; the true source of Love, peace, joy and guidance.

In his sufficiency,

A. Danielle Dagba

"I am spirit and I am free"

2008-12-11T02:07:00.000-08:00

“For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death).” I Cor 15:53 – AMP

Unless you are realizing or have realized the Christ within you are walking in some type of spiritual bondage whether you know this to be true or not. Many of us are enslaved in the prison of our own making, we are cut up in some sort of mental rut and at times there seems to be no way out. Our minds are so preoccupied by the things that are visible to the body eyes that we fail to seek to understand the things that are not, which are the things of Spirit.

The truth is the invisible realm controls the visible. A wise man seeks first the kingdom. It is the Christ within, the true light that came to awaken Man’s soul to its divinity and sets it free for good from the race belief in sin, sickness, lack, poverty and death. A wise man seeks divine understanding and knowledge for that is the path to real freedom.

Christ is our Higher Self just as the false ego personality is our lower self. Our ultimate calling is to reach our higher self, Christ in you the hope of Glory. This is the process of spiritualization or God realization. Just as Jesus realized God we are also called to realize him, first within than without. What the false ego does, the false ego being the personality that man creates due to the world negative consciousness, he gets us to focus first on the things without, which are worldly passions, desires, material gains, ambitions and the likes.

The truth is without first gaining spiritual wisdom and understanding and knowledge, the things without have no real substance of life. On their own they are incapable of giving any lasting joy and peace. And because Man’s soul is designed to experience such state, it begins to demand more for it is unsatisfied with less. But the soul that is asleep, meaning that has not yet been awakened to its divinity or the Christ within, is blinded. This spiritual blindness is the cause of Man’s ignorance of the true light within and his bondage to the wisdom of the world, which is a false light.

This false light could only lead him to perdition. But when Man is truly ready to walk out of darkness and seek the true light, He shall unite with the Christ within and find his redemption and his Liberty at last.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Rest and Peace

2008-11-05T19:58:00.000-08:00

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

“My yoke is easy and my burden is light,” Jesus says while inviting us to come to him. What an invitation? And what manner of love has Christ bestowed upon us? Christ’s love characterizes inner peace. He invites us to come share the peace or the oneness he shares with the father. We do so by looking up to things above and not earthly things.

In this invitation Christ is calling us to a higher consciousness; he is calling us to seek first the kingdom of God within. He is inviting us to look beyond the world of dreams/illusions that our erroneous thinking has made. He is calling us to a new world, a new vision; the world of Spirit and the vision of Christ.

Today if you are feeling burdened about anything is simply because you have not said ‘yes’ to Christ’ invitation. His burden is Light. If you are feeling heavy and overwhelmed you haven’t yet cast that burden to the Christ within. Trust him today with all your concerns for He desires to teach and lead you to the way to inner peace.

Today accept his invitation by opening up your heart to Him with the firm conviction that He will answer and guide you in all your decisions and actions.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Overcoming Guilt - Saying 'No' to condemnation

2008-10-23T04:37:00.000-07:00

In order to overcome Guilt we must silent the voice of the accuser’ that is constantly speaking lies in our heads. It is the voice of the knowledge of good and evil. In the Garden of Eden, God had forbidden Man to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because if He does he will surely die. Meaning the divine nature in him will fall asleep. However Satan the father of all lies deceived Man by convincing him that he will become like God if he eats of the tree God had prohibited him to touch.

The truth is Man was already created in God’s image and did not need to do anything in order to become like God. Therefore Man was deceived, he believed in a lie and because of that his divine nature got corrupted. This erroneous belief caused a false personality to erect in his consciousness, and the false ego personality that believes in duality, (which means, good and evil, sickness and health, rich and poor), begins to rule his mind and heart and consequently his life.

Likewise every time we believe that we must do something in order to become like God, we believe a lie and are deceived, thus eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. All that we need in order to be like God, is to simply believe that He has given us of His Spirit and has made us in his image and likeness. Or else we will surely die. Adam and Eve after the devil's scam didnot drop dead right away, they physically died hundred of years later. The death that they experienced was a spiritual death.

The Garden of Eden represents our innermost being or the human soul. Within our soul, there is the reasoning mind, which is our intellect that judges and perceives things as being good and evil. And there is our subconscious mind, which is the heart, also known as our faculty of intuition. In the Garden of Eden there was also another tree, which is the tree of life. This tree represents the realm of perfect ideas, or the kingdom of God that is inherent in every soul.

We all have access to this kingdom but when our mind is blinded with the knowledge of good and evil, we will inevitably fail to see God’s image in us and in others. This is why jesus came so that the 'blind' may see. He is the Light that dissolves our darkness and converts it into light that we may be awakened to our Divine nature.

Jesus in his teachings taught that we must first seek the kingdom within. We must intellectually seek understanding and guidance from the reality of the perfect kingdom within. We were created to only know God and be lead intuitively, that is by the Spirit. We were designed to do everything through inspiration; we must not rely on our judgment (knowledge of good and evil).

When we seek first the kingdom that is within, our mind is renewed in Truth and this divine light enlighten our consciousness and we are able to recognize our divine nature. When we accept who we truly are, we silent the voice of the accuser and we deny its demands. If they are no accusations there are no condemnation, thus no one is found guilty. “ for there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”

Today accept who you are in God (in Truth), for Christ has made you whole
When thoughts of Guilt want to creep in your mind, you may say
'behind me Satan for Christ has made me whole'
Guilt and condemnation cannot affect me
God's love Protects, upholds, and prospers me

In Him,

Divine Delight - Acknowleging God's Omnipresence

2008-10-20T08:11:00.000-07:00

Delight Yourself in the Lord

To be delighted is to be overjoyed. It is a state of being rather than doing. It is being aware of God’s omnipresence and to consciously unite your soul with the God Mind. When you acknowledge God’s presence and abide in that consciousness you will inevitably experience pure joy, which is a state of completeness and wholeness.

In this perfect unity you will also experience the divine flow of Love (the God Nature in you) arising within. This pure feeling overtakes your entire beingness, and transcends you from the apparent reality the world of forms conveys to the reality of the kingdom of God within. The reality of the kingdom of God in you opens up and divine ideas begin to unfold to you in perfect sequence giving you joy and happiness. This is the same as walking under open heaven. In that moment your soul is delighted in the Lord.

Such state is attainable, but only in the present moment. In order to experience it however, you need to recognize the sorts of things that usually block your awareness of God’s omnipresence and consequently rob you of experiencing the Joy of the present moment. These sorts of things are usually worries and anxieties, which encompasses the ‘cares of this world’. We usually worry about something that has already occurred in the past and we often tend to be anxious about something we have projected into the future.

The concept of past and future is then our major hindrance from being fully in the now. If you pay close attention to your mind, you will notice that you are constantly thinking according to some concept of time. But if you come to the realization that Now is all that IS, you will learn to be ‘present’ in the ‘now’, rather than living in the past or anticipating a negative outcome of something in the future.

Learn therefore to delight yourself in the Now, for this is where you will meet your Lord. As soon as any anxious thoughts or worries arise in your consciousness, immediately put them to flight by casting them upon the Christ within. This will be free your mind and heart of any burdens so that you may begin to focus back on the now.

Remember it is only in the now that we meet and commune with God. He longs our awareness of His divine presence that is in us and surrounds us.

Today, give yourself wholeheartedly to God’s omnipresence. Experience true joy by acknowledging the present moment as being the only real time there IS. Today, walk under open heaven by being conscious of the reality of God' perfect kingdom in you.

Live today as if you did not have a care in the World, knowing that Jesus has already taken all your sins, sorrows, pains, sicknesses, confusions and disappointments. There is no lack in the realm of perfection, which is God’s kingdom in you. Everything that you need to experience is in you awaiting your recognition.

Today may you discover and Enjoy the many treasures of the Kingdom of God within you. May you delight forever in the Lord in the now.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Providence - Our Divine Manisfestations

2008-10-09T10:46:00.000-07:00

He (God) has given (you) all things pertaining to life and godliness.

All things comprise every single thing that you could think of or imagine! What is it that you need? What is it that you want? What is impossible to God? Ask and you shall receive, for Papa God has already made a provision for your every spiritual, every emotional and every material need.

Your divine manifestions await your recognition and your demand in other to be translated from the invisible realm to the physical. The invisible realm is the spiritual dominion, which is the realm of faith; faith being the substance of what you hope for and desire. Therefore get a hold of all the substance that you need in order to co-create with God the life you deserve.

The Word of God says: He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for (you), how will He not also with Him freely give (you) all things?

He has also given you dominion over all things. Henceforth, take every erroneous thought captive and make each one obedient to the Christ within. Refuse to believe in scarcity, in sickness, and limitations. Affirm who you are in Christ-Jesus and as a heir of the same kingdom you also have authority through your spoken word to decree a thing and it shall be made for you. This great kingdom is in you,you have access to it by faith and your spoken words (affirmation, prayer and meditation).

Today Believe his Word for it is infallible! Since everything has already been given you, you simply need to receive them by faith. If you already have everything, then no longer should you be begging, simply thank Him. Then rejoice as if you already have all that you have asked for. In all things give God the praise. And keep this attitude of gratitude and contentment, for it will speed up your tangible manifestations.

Now is the time to receive your divine manifestations
Use your imagination (the eye of your faith)- and visualize the life that you deserve.Arise your consciousness from the negative collective consciousness.
Get a hold of Health-substance - See yourself walking in divine health
Get a hold of Prosperity-substance - See all your debts paid
Get a hold of Love-substance - Imagine the freedom of releasing everyone from your heart!
Keep doing this visualization until you get a hold of all that is yours by divine right!It is the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom Jesus says, Therefore receive it and enjoy the many riches therein!

To your divine manifestations,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Liberty - Express YourSelf!

2008-10-07T13:08:00.000-07:00

Being free in expressing our Perfect Self-Expression.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom)

Spirit is free and unlimited. Spirit defies the law of nature, and transcends time and space. Spirit is fed on spiritual substance (Truth). Spirit is unattached to the things of the earthly realm and is not moved by them, but rather moves them. Spirit is not confined within the body, but transcends it. However The Spirit of the Lord - Christ seeks perfect expression and manifestations through the human soul and body.

For this to take place our mind, that was once darkness, must first be enlightened and regenerated. This Light comes from the understanding of the gospel of Christ Jesus. Such understanding opens our inner eye and reveals our divine nature to us. This is the miracle of the new sight.

It is in this Vision – the vision of Christ that we recognize our True Self. Christ is the light in which we see our true divine self. When we completely identify ourselves with the Christ within, we become one with Him in Spirit and in Truth and Christ becomes our consciousness. This is what Paul meant when He said I only married you to one husband, Christ.

In this perfect oneness (marriage), our soul is completely lavished with Christ substance and no longer seeks provision outside of its temple (the kingdom of God within). The soul no longer lusts after the things of this world but seeks first to be prosperous on the things of the Kingdom and then all these things taken together will be given it besides.

As our soul - which is the seat of emotions, appetites, aversions and memory- continuously seeks to be fed on things above (Christ substance), The Spirit of God, which is the Holy Spirit infuses into our hearts the nature of God. That nature is love and it is our perfect Self-expression.

This natural flow of the influx of the divine life in us freely flows through us and transforms the lives of all those who come to its fount. It testifies of the realities of the kingdom of heaven and teaches peace, righteousness and forgiveness. It looks on all with compassion and love as it awakens every soul to the Christ consciousness.

Today resist not, but allow your true nature, Christ, to have perfect expression in you.
Be free to forgive, release everyone from your heart.
Offer the Vision of Christ to everything your eyes behold.
Be free to express your divine nature, Christ in you the hope of Glory
Bring this Hope to many souls and awaken the Glory of God in them.

In Christ,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Peace - James 3:17

2008-10-02T13:52:00.000-07:00

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable..."

Clearly such wisdom is not found in this world. To look for it there is to seek for error- a false light, which only leads to illusions. The wisdom of God is the only true foundation for Inner Peace. To find peace within is to find God Within.

To find God within is to transcend the apparent realities our body eyes offer. Beyond those realities lies Truth. God is Truth. The revelation of God (Truth) enlightens the eye of our understanding (mind). This Divine Light, which is the Wisdom of God, causes us to see things differently; according to the Truth in The God-Mind.

It is the truth that you know that dispels fear and gives you Peace. The Truth that you don't know keeps you in bondage, which results in lack of peace.

An opportunity to learn more truths is given to you each time you experience an adverse thought, feeling or situation. Make every experience a learning experience. Seize every opportunity. Today turn everything you are feeling over to the Teacher within (the Holy Spirit).

Maybe you are experiencing some types of lack (lack of joy, lack of peace, lack of money), or maybe you are confused about your life purpose or the divine calling upon your life. Perhaps you are confused about the way you should go regarding a certain decision you need to make, or maybe you are experiencing some kind of sickness in your body.

Consider these things pure joy for there is given you the opportunity to grow in Truth and knowledge. Turn every adverse event, situation, condition into a prayer say: Holy Spirit I give you this situation, let your divine light shine upon it, I am determined to see it the way you do. Enlighten my mind with your Truth.

The Holy Spirit is your Teacher; He is The Truth that will lead you unto all truths. Therefore seek to define everything according to God's Truth, which is the only Reality there is. Do not let the apparent realities of the world of forms define who you are in Truth.

Desire to grow more and more in the Things of Spirit, the Things of God. Be determined to not allow your peace to be disturbed. Keep giving yourself over to the Holy Spirit, for He will gladly lead you to the perfect knowledge of Truth that guarantees complete freedom and perfect peace.

Keep saying to yourself as you begin to feel disturbed; I am grounded in Christ (Truth)- His divine light now dispels this darkness. I am determined to see this situation in Divine light (God-wisdom), which gives me perfect Peace. "I now receive His Peace".

In Peace,

A. Danielle Dagba

"Divine Resemblance" - Hebrews 1:3

2008-09-30T08:44:00.000-07:00

In Spirit and in Truth we are not different from God. We are the exact representation of his image. This image represents the God-Light and the God-life from which all things originate, consist and hold together. This light represents the divine wisdom that saw the blueprint of everything before they came to existence. The life of God is His essence or his breath. In that life we live, and move and have our being.

Light and Life represent thoughts and emotions, which comprise consciousness. Therefore God is the original consciousness from which the universe and his inhabitants emanate. Believing that we are different from God is the source of the ignorance of our divine identity and it is the root of many evils.

To believe that we are different from God is to deny our true origin and identity. To view ourselves different from God is seeing through a false light and believing that this light is the true light. Thus ignoring the True light that has brought us forth. This is the deception that has infected our divine nature and has caused us to view ourselves separated from God, from each other and from All-that-is. In Spirit and in Truth we are all one. Spirit is indivisible. The division that we perceive is an illusion created by the sinful mind.

In essence, you are me, and I am you. We are all born of the same invisible substance, which is Love. Love is the creative life principle, unifying substance that binds everything together in perfect harmony in the universe and in the human organism. The disharmony that Man experiences in his body, life and affairs has its root in the ignorance and acceptance of his true nature and origin. The sooner Man returns to his place of origin and abides there the faster his problems will disappear.

To do this we must seek the original Light from whence we came, only then will our mind be enlightened to see our divinity and that of our brother. As we begin to walk in this light, the life of God that has been asleep within us, will be awakened and this natural flow will lead us to the eternal spring of everlasting life.

This false perception is the sin that Jesus became for us and crucified on the cross, so that we may be free from it. This is the redemptive work complete in Christ. This is salvation revealed to mankind.

Love looks on all as One. (This is the meaning of “he makes his rain fall on the good and the bad”). We are the products of Love. God is love. Love begets love. We are the divine offspring of Love. This Love is pure substance of divine life. We are like God. Just as He is so are we in this world.

Accept who you are today.
Say I am that I am.
I am of God
I am pure substance of Love
In spirit and in truth, Iam the divine offspring of God.
My father and I we are one.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Life

2008-09-29T11:27:00.000-07:00

What is "Life"? The level of our understanding of Life determines the level of our expression of Life.

Life is perpetual, it never ends. Life is unalterable, it does not change. This is why the human spirit has a hard time accepting the concept of 'death'. Life is essentially pure, whole and divine; for Life is of God. This is why the Human spirit is continuously seeking perfect self-expression.

The corrupted or distorted mind gives another definition to life. The divine life is not subject to the disharmonies that Man experiences in his body or affairs. The God-life in us simply awaits our recognition in order to manifest through us.

Jesus said I came so that you may have life, and have it more abundantly. People were living, but they were living unconsciously. Meaning they were not conscious of their divine nature. They depended on things outside of them as their source, rather than focusing on the centers of their own organism for perfect self-expression. They saw everything through a false light, a false wisdom and have missed the mark.

The life of God in us needs the light of God (God Wisdom) for perfect self-expression. There is life in everything, but we need the wisdom of God (the understanding of God-Mind) in other to see the underlying principle of all things. Everything that we see is an emanation of God. Everything is an expression of life, but only at various degrees of energy (light).

The level of life-expression in the mineral kingdom (rocks for example) varies from the level of life-expression in the animal kingdom. The human life expresses the highest level of light or intelligence. It is designed to express the exact image of God. It is designed to co-create with God. In our divine nature we are the perfect expressions of The God-Mind. The more we understand the God-Mind, the higher is our expression of the God-Life.

Today abide in Him as He abides in you. All that God requires of you is that you believe that He exists in You. Allow this natural flow of the divine life to permeate every fiber of your being in order to experience joy and peace. Today offer Christ' Vision to everyone and everything you behold; see through the eyes of truth. In doing so you will awaken the God-life in everything and everyone you see.

Let The God-Life find perfect expression through you.

In Him,

Divine Wisdom - Proverbs 4:7

2008-09-26T13:55:00.000-07:00

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding”

What does it mean to be wise? To be wise is to be insightful. We need wisdom in order to possess the ability to see the way God sees. Wisdom allows us to see things beyond their apparent forms and to discern their true essence. It gives us the ability to see the underlying nature of everything. Nothing you desire can compare with her.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So this is our starting point first we must acknowledge God for who He truly is. What does it mean to fear God? To fear God is to acknowledge that He is every-where-present, He knows everything and He is all-powerful. We must recognize God as who He truly is. This is the beginning of wisdom.

The next step in growing in wisdom is to have understanding. Having merely a “head-knowledge” that God is our creator, our maker, the beginning and the end is not sufficient in acquiring wisdom. Understanding God (his nature, his will, his purpose in creating the universe and its inhabitants) enables us to believe in him and to seek to have a personal relationship with him.

You cannot relate to anything that you don’t understand. Understanding enlightens the eyes of your mind in order to see and believe in things invisible. Understanding strengthens your spiritual muscles in order to stand firm when facing adverse circumstances. It trains your mind to appropriately discern which way you should go when doubts and fears arise from your heart

How much do you love your own soul? The bible says: “He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good”.

Are you facing some challenges right now or experiencing some difficult situations? Rely not on your own wisdom; trust God to reveal to you the underlying cause for your troubles. Seek his face, draw near to him and he will draw near to you. Ask God – Who is infinite knowledge- to show you always which way you should go if you are having a hard time to make a certain decision. Throughout the day stay connected to his Mind by saying: God teach me your way, and let me see what you see. Or you can simply say, “I intend to do what Jesus would do in this situation”.

Pure Love - "you did it for me"

2008-09-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me

Pure Love is the essential nature of all Men. This nature is the presence of the God-Life in everyone without exception. God is love and love sees all as one. How do you see love, how do you define it? How do you express it. The perception or the understanding that we have of love will determine our degree of love. How do you define love? How do you express love? In Spirit and in truth all that is, is an expression of Love; an expression of God. For all things emanate from God. Everything and everyone is an extension of God; an extension of Love.

In God, in Love all things consist and Hold together. God is Love. God is everywhere present, therefore Love is everywhere present. When we fail to acknowledge the presence of God in someone we are in resistance. We are resisting the natural current of the divine life to freely flow through us. When we deny Love presence, we are in fact acknowledging the presence of another force. Since God is All that is, it is thus impossible for something besides Him to exist, unless we imagine it there through our own vain imaginings.

Jesus disciples said to him Master when did we see you hungry and gave you something to eat, when where you naked and we gave you clothes and when were you in prison and we visited you?. Jesus replied when you do this for one of the least of you, you do it for me. Jesus saw himself in everyone. It would not matter if this person were on death row, or were the world worst criminal. It would not matter if the person were a beggar on the street or a homeless. Jesus saw beyond the apparent nature of things and connected to their underlying nature, which is Love Presence, the God-life in everyone. He beheld the perfect image of God in everyone.

The vision of Christ is offered to you today. Allow the Spirit of God to stir the divine life in you by acknowledging Love as your divine nature. This current is as natural as the informative intelligent life that is currently causing perfect bodily function in every part of your organism, every fiber of your being, and every cell of your body. Allow this life intelligence to overtake your whole being. The God life in you knows exactly how to express itself through you. Interfere not with its activity in you. Remain in a state of non-resistance by saying: I am love. You can only give that which you possess. Say: I am love. Love is my nature. I am love

Today let us practice pure love. First we must love ourselves by accepting our divine nature. Let us allow our true nature express itself through us easily and effortlessly. Naturally we are love. Let us be natural, let us be ourselves.
In His love,

A. Danielle Dagba

Divine Life - Galatians 2:20

2008-09-19T08:37:00.000-07:00

"...and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God..."

The divine life is founded on Faith. What does it mean to live by the faith of the Son of God? We know it is impossible to please God without faith. It is easy to believe on the things that we can see with our body eyes. Now how do we get a hold of the spiritual substance that will bring about the tangible manifestations that we desire?

When we feed ourselves on the Word of God and become the doer of the Word, we become one with the Word. Inherent in the Word of God is the Life of God. That Life is the 'rhema' of the Word. The letters are the 'Logos'. The letters kill but the Spirit gives life. That life is also the light of God, which is God's wisdom.

When we have a superficial or intellectual understanding of God, we will undoubtedly have a superficial or intellectual understanding of his Word. The level of understanding we have of his Word parallels the level of the current of the divine life in our spirit. In other words we express the Divine life in proportion to our understanding of the Divine Mind, namely God.

This is why we need the revelation knowledge of the Word of God. Revelation takes us beyond the surface or the logos to the interpenetrating realm of Spirit, or to the Rhema of the Word. It is the Spirit who reveals the Truth of the Word to us. When we first hear the Word, we must open ourselves up in other to allow the Holy Spirit to unfold it to us. This happens through meditation.

As you read the word or hear the word, ponder on some key passages. See yourself in the Word, become one with it in consciousness. Feed on the revelation knowledge of the word and let the power of the Word transform your life and give you dominion over life circumstances.

"Divine Trust" - Psalm 62:8

2008-09-15T10:01:00.000-07:00

Trust in Him (God) at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8

To trust is to have total confidence and complete reliance in something or someone. Our body senses have trained us to put our confidence in the flesh or the things visible. But like Paul we shall put no confidence in the flesh, but we must look to the things of Spirit to satisfy our needs and desires. Whether it is a financial, personal, or spiritual need,we must believe without a shadow of a doubt that our God shall supply our every need. This inexhaustible source of supply is within each and every single one of us awaiting our recognition and our demand in order to express itself through and in us.

When in doubt or in need you must continually affirm "My God shall supply all of my needs". If you know someone or a loved one who may be going through a challenging time, do not be quick to solve their problems but let the image of that person come to your mind and say "My God shall supply all of your needs". And then see their problems resolved and their needs met.

In times of trouble our greatest need is to Trust God. Trusting him all the times also means to acknowledge him in all of our ways. Like a little child who relies solely on his parents for his daily supplies, we must also look to God to feed us the divine manna or strength that will bring about our divine manifestations. Sometimes we are quick to draw our own conclusions based on our own limited perception of things. This is why we must not rely on our own understandings but rather we must seek divine guidance and instruction. He shall instruct you in the way you should go. When an idea comes to your mind it is better to wait on God for the unfoldment of the idea and let Him order your steps.

The business idea that you need, the wife or husband that you need, the parental advices that you need, the financial breakthrough or the new attitude, character or personality that you need, the answer lies within you. Seek to know your father who art in heaven. This heaven is not some distant place. This kingdom of heaven is your superconsciousness or the Christ Mind in you, it is in you. It is the invisible realm of divine ideas and substance and the only True source of Man's supplies.

Make your abode in Him as He abides in you! Open your heart to your father and speak to him just as a child would speak to Her daddy. The more you open up your heart to him, the more He will open up his heart to you. Know that this fount of unconditional love is forever in you and always at your disposal. Trust him all the times, and put no confidence in flesh.

May His love guide you and supply your every need and desire today!

In Him

Nehemiah 8:10 - "Divine Strength"

2008-09-12T07:20:00.000-07:00

Do you sometimes feel as if nothing really makes sense? You may experience this after a big loss, or a big disappointment. Or you may suddenly feel sad and depressed and begin to look down on life. Maybe things are not turning around the way you'd expect them to. Or does life at times seems purposeless? Or maybe everything you have tried seem to fail?

It is during our darkest hours do we truly experience God's love and strength. It is when the things or the people outside of us fail us that we seek a quiet refuge within. This is the time to turn inward and listen to the voice of God. The voice of truth. We do this by opening up our soul and pouring our hearts to HIm who loves us unconditionally. We commune with him in that secret place and wait in silence as we are being fed on divine substance. That substance is the Truth of God. When we earnestly seek Him, we will find Him. God is Truth. The revelation of God's truth or God's word gives us understanding. Understanding enlightens our mind and that light is gives us divine strength or substance.

When we come out of that secret place, the closet of prayer within, we experience a sudden joy; a joy inexpressible. That sudden surge of emotion quickens our spirit and we begin to see everything in a different light. The things that once troubled suddenly become meaningless. We feel empowered, and the things that seemed difficult and even impossible, now seem attainable.

The joy of the Lord is not like anything the world could offer you. There is a whole other realm available to you. It is the realm of the kingdom of God that is within you. It is the realm of Divine ideas. YOu have access to that realm through your own mind, which is one with Divine Mind. Whithin that realm is your divine pattern and the divine strength you need to walk in it.

Today escape the apparent realities of this world, even for a moment. Refuse to accept the temporary joy they offer you, but rather seek to experience everlasting Joy, which is the joy of the Lord. Today find a refuge in God and trust him to lead and enlighten your path. Today rely not on anything outside of you for strength, rely not on your own understanding or interpretation of things, find true definitions in the things of God, of Spirit. YOur security and protection are found in Him alone. He is your stronghold and your rock, your Strength!

If you are feeling sad or discouraged today. This is a Good thing. Acknowlegde it to be so. God created us with a soul so that we may feel and know when something is wrong. Therefore feelings are good, embrace them. Secondly do not blame God or others for how you are feeling, but trust God to show you why you feel the way you do. Ask and you shall receive. Keep a perfect image of God in your mind and a perfect image of yourself. If you look down on yourself, you will look down on God, but God created you like Himself. However you treat your Self, that is how you will treat God for you and Him are inseparable.

To your strength,

A. Danielle Dagba

Romans 8:14 "Divine Guidance"

2008-09-08T13:55:00.001-07:00

"Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God".

The Spirit of God in us is our unerring Guide. And we have 24/7 access to his Counsel. When we are uncertain or in doubt we may commune with Him and in stillness listen to His Voice. He speaks to us through our own mind. and communicates with us through our own thoughts. Our only task is to simply listen.

When we allow God's will and purpose to be done through us we are in fact putting aside our own personal will and desires. We are saying not my will O Lord, but Thy will be done. We put on the nature of God by denying the desires of the old nature. The bible calls it the old man, which we must put off.

Today allow the Spirit of God in you, who is the source of all understanding and all needs, Guide you, lead you and order your every step.
Ask him to show you the way you should go about every idea that comes to your mind.
Rely not on your own understanding, but trust him to enlighten yours.
Listen carefuly to Your Self today for he communes through your thoughts and words.

In Him,

A. Danielle Dagba

"Have faith in God"

2008-09-05T12:10:00.000-07:00

What is Faith? We were all born with a measure of faith, it is a part of our innate nature. Therefore all of us have faith, everyone believes in something. We may believe in different things, but we all have certain principles that we live by and that govern our life, otherwise we will be reduced to the animal kingdom.

Faith is a mental faculty. It is our natural ability to use our imagination in order to see in the invisible realm. Faith is therefore a spiritual dimension. It is up to each individual however to grow in faith. Without understanding however,faith is dead.

As we know faith is the conviction of things not seen. If I were to show you something that you cannot see with your natural eyes, you would not believe that it is there, unless I am able to convince you that it exists by painting an image in your mind. Even then it will be up to you after analyzing all the facts to decide whether or not you believe in what I have said.

You ever wonder how someone can explain something to you, though that person may try her best, you don't understand a word they are saying. But someone else who may has a more accurate knowledge of that thing will explain it to you and you will say: oh, I see, now I get it! Well the same principle applies with the things of spirit. In the same we may not get certain spiritual principles at first, but we must persist until 'light'(understanding)comes.

Jesus says to his disciples: Have faith in God. How many of us have seen God? The bible says: No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

When the disciples ask Jesus to show them the father, Jesus replied if you see me, you see the father. What was Jesus saying? Did He mean if you see the way I look,the color of my hair, or my skin? He was not referring here to his physical appearances. Neither was he asking the disciples to see him through their natural eyes. The son is the expressed image of the father. God is Mind. The son is the divine offspring of the divine mind. He is the perfect expression of God. He is the God Mind 'pressed out'.

The Mind of God is the realm of Divine ideas and truths. Jesus says the words that are coming out of my mouth are spirit and are life. What he was saying was I am the expression of God Mind. I express the heart and the mind of the father. My words are God words and if you believe me, you believe God.

If you want to know God, Know his mind. If you want to God Mind,know the Words of the Christ.
In Him,
