Our scripture comes from Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi in which he thanks them for their financial support of his mission. He makes it clear that their support has been not only sufficient but also abundant and “it was welcome as a fragrant perfume and a sacrifice acceptable and well pleasing to God.” We share this background of our scripture because it is important in understanding the ‘whole’. You will note that Paul’s main point of gratitude is that it is “through Christ who strengthens me” that all things are accomplished.

Here is a pattern that we too can most certainly benefit from right here and now in these times, which seem so troubling. The key to accomplishing everything with joy and unending benefits is to recognize that our strength and help comes from the highest source, which is not only unending but also limitless. My very favorite scripture, Matthew 5:16 establishes the attitude of our every action and reaction; “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

In the case of financial abundance, we have a glorious reminder each time we spend a coin or bill; “In God we Trust.” As we consciously affirm this Eternal Truth we build our core support with unmatched strength to any other method of abundance consciousness.

Our world is filled with teachers of the Truth and we are certain that each one of these teachers graciously accept any financial support in their ministry now just as Paul did in his ministry. We trust we are included in our humble way of sharing the teaching of Chirothesia.

In the case of abundance in health we have the example of a perfect pattern as well; claiming Radiant, Vital, Dynamic Health as the Truth of our life. The Harmony Exercise practiced in the Chirothesian Philosophy assists us to maintain harmony with the Divine Vital Energy also known as the Abundant Life.

As we discussed many times; “if you will practice the principles of the abundant life as interpreted in the Chirothesian Philosophy, you will find even greater treasures of well-being than you have heretofore enjoyed – and you need not change your present spiritual attitude either.” We bring that up again to emphasis one of the basic principles that we teach in that the Chirothesian Philosophy fits well with all other spiritual attitudes. We sincerely believe that God/The One, or by what ever name resonates with you, God doesn’t give preference to the ‘titles’ we as humankind do with our practice of labeling every thing and action.

Perhaps it would also be of benefit here to remember the meaning of the one title, Christ and how it is used in our attitude and teaching. Christ is the divine-idea man, the I AM with each and every person. Christ is the individual expression of God on earth. Jesus was that perfect expression here on earth and practiced it completely in his daily life. Christ is the only begotten Son of God, or the one complete idea of perfect man in Divine Mind/God. Our higher self has the same potential of this divine expression whether we LET it unfold in this life experience or not. If we can accept that potential then the scripture this week shall also open the doors wider for the accomplishment of all things with the unlimited supply of all things. Yes, all things in all things.

This understanding, well built on the foundation of your Faith, will lift the present challenges that are currently vibrating and allow them to be neutralized to the highest productive energy or illuminated entirely. This is God-given energy and power that is available for everyone. For everyone is part of the entire whole of life. The importance of how we each affect the other person behooves us to be mindful of our daily life.

Science has proven how our thoughts and action create energy waves that reach around the earth and we dare say out into the Universe. Science most recently has been conducting tests that are proving we can literally change the structure of our DNA with our thoughts.

We also recognize the vibration of all life including solar vibration has affect on our personal as well as global life. Today we are blessed with a Solar Eclipse that is visible to the Western States starting around 17:30 PT . Living in a time that these Truths are being explored beyond times of the past and now are also being proven, is so very exciting. The consequence of this wider understanding gives those of us support in our basic beliefs that “With God/Christ all things are possible.”

Or if you prefer to phrase it; “With highest conscious thinking we can do anything.” But we would encourage that God by some name is included always. Certainly we are each being challenged to use to a more efficient and effective way with the tools we were given at the very beginning of creation.

The contradictive feelings that manifest within us in the form of love and hate, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain etc. are the result of our past understanding, but they effect and form our future existence, if we do not choose wisely how we think and act NOW.

Any negative thoughts or actions manifest in our feelings, but our most effective expression is in the manifestation of the power called faith – the energizing expression by which, through the proper application can change any challenging condition. We focused on guarding against and changing quickly those thought forms of negativity as they come into our minds in last weeks lesson. Being in step with our emotions and feelings simply means to choose emotional control with an attitude of confidence and attention to being in harmony with the Divine Energy, God/Christ.

We all need more practice with being in harmony and holding the highest vibration especially when dealing with today’s challenges. We are reminded of this when our impatience takes over our emotions.

As Jesus the Christ said to the woman at the well; “The time is coming, and it is here, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father also desires worshippers such as these.” Does this not describe faith, personal faith, by which we are to worship the Father? And the key, as time after time taught by Jesus the Christ is Love.

Certainly we have stressed that many times but it is well for us all to remember to use the power of God’s Love as the foundation for our faith and the very doing of our daily activities and the formation of our thinking. Doing, acting and responding in the attitude of Love. Not easy when we do not use God’s Love, but with God’s Love and the spirit of Christ we are strengthened and able to accomplish all that is placed before us.

No matter how well we know these Truths we need the gently reminders gotten through our studies. Perhaps that is where the term, “Truth Seekers” comes from. We are all challenged but there is unlimited opportunity to walk in The Way especially in our day to day living.

It is in deep gratitude to the teaching and teachers of my life and to the ability to share these ideas. May our faith be strengthened and our blessings be abundant, as we close with the Aramaic translation, the original language as spoken by Jesus, in the Lord's Prayer:
