'Let go and let God'..... The Invincible Guide

Isaiah Ch41 V13... For I the Lord your
God, Hold your right Hand
It is I who say to you,
"Fear not, I will help you"

From Psalms 23, The Lord is my shepherd,
'lo though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me'.

 

 

 

A Sermon and Address

Valerie Turner

God is wherever you are, always guiding you,
He forever guides you to each of your
conceptions, for He answers in physical reality
that which you conceive and accept in your
mind. If you conceive and accept good,
you will be guided along the most perfect path
to it's attainment, no matter how winding the
route may seem to your limited knowledge.

Thus, 'Let go and let God' means to trust God,
to trust in the perfect knowledge of the
subconscious mind, to know whatever paths
you travel towards your goals, they are the
right paths, the perfect ones. For you have
been set upon them by the omnipotent mind
of God, which makes no mistakes and will
deliver you safely and prepared at your
destination. 'Let go and let God' means
to recognize that you do nothing but observe
and accept, and whatever you accept is
delivered to you by the subconscious mind.
There is no personal responsibility for anything
but thought, for accepted thoughts become
manifest in the physical world.

Overcoming vanity and relaxing into mental
attitudes of trust and confidence have often
been expressed in the saying
'Let go and let God'.
Only God knows the way a thing may be done,
and man never will.

You can be rest assured that really great
and outstanding people of our world have
a constant partner, God, and this partner
is consulted on all matters. and is
acknowledged to be the doer of all their
deeds. They like Jesus, attune themselves
to all the power of creation when they
acknowledge, "It is not I who doeth the works,
but the Father who dwelleth within me"

Cast aside your vanity, you do nothing by
yourself, you are never alone. All things are
done by God, which is always right where
you are. You are not isolated from the world,
you are a part of it, and at the same time
the whole of it. The world is your friend if
you are friendly with yourself. If you make
the world your enemy, you fight only yourself.
Be humble in the fact of accomplishment, for
you do nothing but conceive and accept it.
God does everything. He writes all the books,
paints all the pictures, builds all the bridges.
His instruments are these who attune
themselves to His presence and allow
the power to flow through.

Cast aside your guilt. Who does not make
mistakes? Do not feel guilty for mistakes
in thought and subsequently in deed, for it is
this path man must travel to become one
with God.
Guilt has no place in life, mistakes are for
learning. Guilt holds on to mistakes and makes
them happen again.Guilt isolates you from
God. Guilt brings about vanity, the vanity
of being alone, without God.
Vanity and guilt are the destroyers of
attunement, errors of growing self-consciousness,
creators of illusion and evil.

Feel your unity with all things, and all life,
and you will see vanity slip away.
Know only the eternal now of the subconscious
mind, no past, no future, only a present
that is always existing, and you will feel
guilt dissolve. God is in you, has done
what you have done, and God does not
chastise Himself, nor destroy Himself.

Listen to the words of Emerson:
"On this altar God has built, I lay my
vanity and my guilt"
So, don't batter and rail against
unwanted circumstances, rather,
'Let go and let God'.
Denying the power that guides you
will leave you with insurmountable
problems. Turn your problems
over to God.

'Let go and let God'


      

TRUE PRAYER

An unknown author penned these words:

I asked God to take away my pride.

God said, "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, "No. Her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, "No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned."

I asked God to give me happiness.

 God said, "No. I give you blessings, happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, "No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said, "No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things."

I asked God to help me love others, as much as God loves me.

God said... "Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!"

Someone accurately said that maturity in prayer occurs when we are able to move from the plea,

"Give me..." to the deeper prayer,

"Use me."

 

 

A Letter From God

Dear Friend,

How are you? I just had to send you a note to tell you how much I care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk to me, too. I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you -- and I waited. You never came.  It hurt me, but I will love you because I am your friend.

I saw you sleeping last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awoke and rushed off to work.  My tears were the rain.

If you would only listen to me! I love you!

I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in colors of flowers, shout it to you in mountain streams, give the birds love songs to sing.  My love for you is deeper than the ocean, and bigger than the biggest need in your heart!

Ask me! Talk to me! Please don't forget me. I have so much to share with you!

I won't hassle you any further.  It is your decision.  I have chosen you and I will wait.

I love you.

Your Friend,

God
