Truth Message: “Divine Powers of Elimination and Life.” The following quoted information comes from Paul Hasselbeck & Cher Holton. Elimination–ask yourself these questions which will help in developing a clearer understanding and application of how you individually express the quality and power of divine elimination: “How have I been using Elimination?” “What have I been eliminating, releasing, denying, or letting go of?” “How can I use Elimination to be the best (aware and light-filled human being) I can be?”

An affirmation of Truth for Elimination: “I claim (the power of) Elimination now. I deny and eliminate anything that I have empowered to hinder my being the best (aware and light-filled human being) I can be.”     

Life–Some questions to ask self in developing a keener understanding and application of how you individually express the quality and power of divine life: “How have I been using Life?” “What have I been energizing and vitalizing in my life?” Thirdly, “How can I use Life to be the best (aware and light-filled human being) I can be.”   

An affirmation of Truth for Life: “I claim (the power of) Life now. I use Life to energize and enliven my pursuit of being the best (aware and light-filled human being) I can be.”

*******************A continuation in the beatitude & enrichment in Life–  

Life–As we prepare our minds and hearts for the Lenten Season of Spiritual renewal and growth, let’s open ourselves to greater life and acceptance of the richness of divine Spirit waiting expression in us.

Equally important, we open wide to understand more truly the nature of the restorative life within our every cell and nucleus of our being: Take into prayer the message of Life authored by Rev. Frieda King. Let these words be like the meditations of your own hearts–

“Life–The power of life in me is a constant presence of well-being.”

“The light of perfect life shines continuously within us. From where does our life come? Our source of life is God. Divine life is the essence and wholeness of our being. Myrtle Fillmore affirmed this Truth when she said: “God is .. the source of our life and the substance of our bodies.”

“In her song, “I Am the Life of God,” Georgiana Tree West wrote: “I am the radiant life of God, I am, I am, I am,” We are the radiant life of God—we are, we are, we are!  

“As we grow spiritually, we joyfully and gratefully discover the power, vitality and fullness of life coursing through our veins. We are vibrant expressions of the life, love and energy of God. We are!”

“Renunciation and Elimination.” There is a Principle of Growth that states: “Let go of What you Don’t Want to Make Room for What you Do Want!

Think for a moment what your living quarters or workplace would look like if you did not throw anything away. Some people recycle and the recycle containers get filled to overflowing all too quickly. 

Think what life would be like if we had no microbial activity on earth. We would be piled high in garbage. Organic things without the life force decay and become soil, mulch and the components for life to spring forth anew. Our organic world is a gigantic operation of recyclability.

The principle of renunciation and elimination opens the way for greater life to come into being. Suppose we hung onto every negative word we ever voiced or pessimistic thought we have had. We would be so overloaded with that which does not perpetuate the evolving capacity of life within us. Our thinking capacity would be filled with negativity; our inspiration capability would be clogged with darkness. We would be out of balance and uncreative.

Hence, our ability to say no, to reject that which does not contribute to vitality and teaming life, lets life circulate afresh within our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual expression.

We can be very grateful for our ability to recycle, to clear and clean our inner mental and emotional household, to forgive and release what blocks life, light and expanded growth, knowledge and well-being. Our discerning quality of mind sifts out the negative, the destructive and lets it dissolve and keeps the elements and life-promoting qualities and nutrients conducive to health, wholeness, spiritual aliveness and thriving life. 

The master gardener keeps his or her garden weeded so the tomatoes, lettuce, collards, and other vegetables have plentiful space to thrive, have sunlight and take in the water all necessary for growth. Our releasing capability weeds out the debris in our lives and allows for the principle of life to flourish and multiply more life-giving expressiveness. 

In prayer we eliminate anything holding us back from fully embracing clarity of mind, ease of heart, and fullness of life in this moment. In consciousness we let go anything blocking the full expression of our heart of pure love. We let go unforgiving thoughts, feelings, ideas and allow peace, forbearance and acceptance free reign in our hearts and attitudes. We easily let go and recirculate material goods no longer used or needed. We circulate material items and financial good opening our hearts to the activity of robust generosity and blessings. 

I possess an inner right and zeal to reject anything that degrades and takes away from thriving life, respect, courtesy, love and equanimity. Thank you dear God for an understanding heart and clarity of mind and soul to realize the difference between that which promotes wholeness of life and what detracts from flourishing existence, Amen.
