I am jazzed with irrepressible joy!

I proclaim today to be a day of joy, no matter what the current circumstances in my life may be. I do not dwell in pessimism, lack, fear or doubt. Today I am jazzed with irrepressible joy!

My exuberance is fueled by my awareness of true joy—the joy that lives within me. It does not depend on outer situations or other people. This joy is innate. It comes from the unfailing Source of happiness and serenity within me.

When I allow joy to surface, even in difficult times, its powerful energy calls forth my good. As I share joy freely, my own joy is increased.

"For you shall go out in joy … the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song." — Isaiah 55:12

Divine order is at work in my life and I am grateful.

A magnificent order underlies all of creation. It is found in the macrocosm of our galaxy, as we see the placement of sun, earth and moon in perfect alignment to support life on this planet. Order is also manifest in the microcosm, as the smallest atoms of oxygen and hydrogen bond to form water vapor, water and ice. Divine intelligence is revealed in all things. God eternally creates, sustains and re-creates all that is.

Just as divine order works in nature, it also works in my life. I am at peace knowing that my good is now becoming visible. I am grateful for the divine creative process.

"Who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night." —Jeremiah 31:35

I use the power of my words to co-create the life I want to live.

In the first creation story of the Bible, God creates the universe by speaking into the void. God’s words bring light, sky and all visible and physical aspects of the world into being.

With this as my model, I use my words intentionally to create a life of meaning and purpose. I create harmony in my home, workplace and community by mindfully choosing my words. If I am tempted to complain or blame, I turn within. In the Silence, I affirm the light of God in the situation. A new way of being emerges.

My creative power is reflected in my words, so I choose them carefully. I affirm abundance, wholeness and peace.

"God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day." --- Genesis 1:5

What is the Divine Feminine and why It is so vitally important to discover, nurture and integrate in our lives today. It is in our separation from God and/or the Goddess that all of our life challenges stem. If we truly knew that the separation never occurred and that we could be re-united with the Goddess – mother of all – would our lives change? If we experienced from the Divine Feminine all the love that we always desired, that we never quite got – yes, our lives would change profoundly.

The Apostle Philip represents Power and we look at how we can more fully step into our own God given Power to not only create lives that we love, but also lives that truly benefit the shifting consciousness of the planet.

Today we partake in a deep spiritual spring cleaning of our own consciousness. We shift old, sometimes conscious, sometimes unconsciousness, beliefs and patterns of being fraught from living in the Land of Not.  We make a commitment to allow ourselves, more fully than ever, to align with the Divine. We discover tips to allow ourselves to shine as we heal and reveal our inner winner!

It is extremely challenging for us to leap over or transform the walls of illusion and separation. We have been made to see the world as human beings; limited, disconnected, abandoned with a deep sense of unworthiness. None of that is true! But to find what is truly ours we have to be willing to consciously move into the Land of I AM, into the land of being, understanding and acceptance.

I love that the Disciple this month is Thomas better known to the masses as “doubting Thomas.” Jesus is said to have appeared to the Disciples at least twice. The first time created quite the stir to begin with but because Thomas was not there, he declares that he doesn’t believe and won’t believe until he can put his fingers in the wounds of Christ. And so Love personified returns to let him do just that, Yeshua (Jesus) appears again.

There is a highly circulated portion of Da Vinci’s Sistine Chapel masterpiece that depicts the fingers of the hand of God and the hand of man almost about to touch. That stretch, that intensity and struggle typifies the orientation most of us have experienced in our relationship with God. It really is much easier than that but it does require willingness on our part. A willingness to re-orientate ourselves; to refocus our attention; to, in fact, take our attention off the way we see it and allow new “in-sight.” Let us get re-orientated and redefine our direct connection to the Presence that is everywhere present now, loving us and longing to love through us. That Presence waits for our yes to lift us in consciousness. Let us, like a child stepping on to the feet of a trustworthy adult, accept the invitation to glide and Dance through this year. Let us be willing to let Faith in Love lead the way.

Please join me Sunday in a transformational ceremony in which we use the burning bowl ritual to help us prepare our personal garden to create an ideal environment in which to plant our seeds of transformation as we deliberately nurture the beautiful garden yearning to bloom within each of our hearts.

Whether we call him Jesus, and others call Him, Yeshua or Essa, the fact is HE came! “I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly.”  He took on Flesh and walked the earth to remind us to remember who we really are…Creations of Infinite Love and Intelligence. The True Nature of who we are does not start with our being born here nor does it die here. We are not something separate - from but we are part of vast mystical Oneness. We were strategically born on this planet, at this time to Let Love express through us in specific ways. We are expressions of the One as Jesus was an expression of the One. “this work and greater works shall you do”.

Every Christmas we commemorate the Birth of Jesus. But the real celebration comes when we allow personal recognition of the Christ nature to be born and grow Itself within us. Thank You For The Gift You Bring! The Christ knocks at the door of our Being constantly that we may open up, even more, to the power endowed by the Creator. Thank You For The Gift You Bring! The nature of the Christ teaches us how to allow power to flow through us and create lives so fulfilled and abundant we can’t even imagine. IThank You For The Gift You Bring! However every once and awhile, because of Grace, we get a glimpse of the greater reality.

While the exact date of Yeshua/Jesus’s birth may be questionable, the impact of His coming is profound, beyond a doubt. This Christmas let the gift of the Christ be born/renewed in you. That, raises the vibration of the Gift/s We Bring! It’s Time Beloved!

Come, Oh Come and let us celebrate together, the Birth of the Christ Child on Earth.
And Now may Sacred Unity and the Grace of the Christ be made manifest in us all!

Please continue to enlighten yourself. Do the research not to blame but to inform! I used the following references and there is so much more. Peace

Join us in the deeper spiritual purpose of the season which reminds us of giving, sharing and the joy of the Christmas season.

Looking forward to being with you on Sunday, December 18th at 10:00am at Unity of Divine Love's Celebration Service.

In Joy,
Rev. Rob

“We are Spiritual Beings, living in a Spiritual Universe, governed by Spiritual Laws, having a HUMAN EXPERIENCE." Yes that is my personal mantra and an ancient truth. This truth has been carried by sages and wisdom teachers in every tradition. It has also been lost, suppressed and misrepresented by every manipulating and controlling force imaginable. So if we forget we are spiritual beings, that’s perfectly understandable. Now is the time to stir up our gifts and remember who we really are!

As “the season” has begun, what better time to look at the gifts, talents, graces and skills of love already within us. This will only help, as we prepare to receive one of the greatest gifts the world has ever known…Christ’s Light!

So Beloveds, how does God, i.e. Sacred Unity show up and flow through you? What’s in your Bag? Come let’s take a look on Sunday, December 4th at the 10:00am Celebration Service.

Hey, if others can “Super Size it” could we together with the love, beauty and power spiritualize it?

This lesson will explore how just being thankful for what we have now isn’t enough to allow us to experience the abundance God has in store for us as God’s beloved children. We will examine how we are blessing and cursing the things that are showing up in our lives and how this creates a resonance with the all-expanding power of the universe. Finally, we will learn how being grateful for EVERYTHING, both the good and the not so good will expand our awareness of the Divine and begin the loving, spiritual energy of attracting more good to us so that we can truly
HARVEST OUR BLESSINGS.

My true freedom rests in Spirit.

I may feel powerless in certain difficult situations, but powerlessness is an illusion. Even though I may not know how I will find my way through, I know that true wisdom and power come from Spirit within.

To move beyond any standstill, I remember the Truth of my existence: I am divinely created, made in the image and likeness of God. In this Truth, there is no room for worry. I live in a consciousness that is limitless; I live in spiritual freedom.

I fully use the power of Spirit within me to be free from restraint. I break through chains that bind me and open to the understanding that I have the power here and now to do all things. Filled with Spirit, my life is bursting with God's promises.

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free." ---Romans 8:2

We are the new/ancient archetype that is the original pattern of creation. As we open to consciously living from omni-dimensional awareness, we realize the Truth of who we are as a spiritual model for our time. Let’s explore together this Sunday the power of living from within our greatest spiritual self with an awakened awareness of the new archetype we are setting into the consciousness of our planet. We will set ourselves free to own and honor the amazing gifts of omni-dimensional awareness.

Your Spirit will be dancing and singing in celebration!!

One with God and all life, I radiate pure joy!

The expression of joy is often contagious. A genuine smile or an honest burst of laughter can inspire joy within the hearts of everyone nearby.

Joy is one of the great rewards of my connection with God, with others and with all life. As I give in joy, I receive joyously. When I share a tender moment with another, watch an inspiring movie, or simply think about the people I love, joy often arises.

Turning within, I discover the great joy of God's gentle presence and the simple pleasure of being one with God. My time in the silence of prayer brings me a sense of soul satisfaction as joy wells up within me. Returning to the world around me, I radiate pure joy.

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us." ---Psalm 67:1

Thank You God for Your protection and love. Amen.

Are we just throwing color on the canvas of life with no thought of whether it will stick or what kind of mess we will leave after we're done?

Are we at least paying attention to where the paint lands, how the colors blend, minimizing the mess..and NOTICING if we're enjoying the creative process?

OR
Are we approaching our creation with a sense of focus, a plan for the design, and a steady hand ready to be guided by a Higher Impulse to create a life of Beauty that will serve the upliftment of humanity?

It's all art...but its NOT all Beauty.

Join us in a exploration of our inner artist, and the most important step on the path of creating a life of Beauty.

Have you ever given any thought to what it would take to speak those words with authority? Let your mind wonder and if you dare imagine! We are Spiritual Beings, Living in a Spiritual Universe, Governed by Spiritual Laws, having a human experience. By now we can all agree, that our Spiritual journey in this physical realm, requires rigorous mental agility. To Choose Love; to look beyond the appearance, when your human experience wants to slap somebody; to call forth greatness and listen for that still small voice while a gigantic wave of goodness unfolds within demanding surrender in this moment and your on the freeway in the next moments taking the honks for letting someone in during rush hour. Staying awake to the Presence is not for whimps. Love really is a verb and loving God and being in relationship with God IS the supreme experience with perk
One of those perks is Power. The Presence will rise in us and speak to pain Get Thee Behind Me and pain will dissipate and dissolve; lack will transform and peace can be ours in the midst of chaos.
The Divine will lead, teach and guide us if we are willing. It will help us develop the faith, trust and action to Stop Drop and Roll:

STOP! The mind chatter as Eckhart Tolle suggest in The Power of Now and get our thought back to the present moment where the Power is.

DROP! To become present to the Drop of God we are and submerge ourselves into the ocean of love, wisdom, joy, peace and abundance “all-good” that God is

And ROLL ON FROM THERE…

“Let That Mind Be In You That Was Also In Christ Yeshua (Jesus)”
“It is Not I but the Father (Mother) within me that doeth the work”

Divine or Human which do you choose?

Trained thought is more powerful than random thinking.

As A Man/Woman/Child thinketh in their hearts so are they. A little twist or modernization on this verse from James but I am sure you get the gist… It’s time for everybody to get very specific and clear about what we think. What do we truly think and what do we truly believe.
Fear, anger, guilt, shame and greed…oh my and God knows there is enough frustration, confusion, disease to pull your mind into doldrums and your body into perpetual deterioration.

No matter who we are we can always use a Spiritual Tune Up!

Do you still dream? Are you still visioning? What gifts are in your spiritual tool kit.
God got rhythm! Are you dancing?
Come let’s laugh and sing and refocus so that we may endure whatever is yet to come!

I bless my father and all fathers around the world.

Expressing love toward each person in my family is one of the ways I demonstrate my love for God and recognize the spirit of God in my family members. Today I express my love for my father.

If my father is living, I express my love and appreciation to him directly. I voice my feelings and let him know that he is loved. If my father has passed away, I bless him in prayer and honor his memory and spirit, which live in my heart.
If for any reason I have been estranged from my father, I allow the forgiving love of God to ease and release any resentment that has kept us from understanding and loving each other. Today I let God's love express through me and I bless my father.

"All the families of the earth shall be blessed." ---Genesis 12:3

The wisdom of God lives within me.

As a child, I saw life from a perspective of innocence and naiveté. With age, education and experience, I gained wisdom. Some of the things I know now I couldn't possibly have understood as a child. Some of my wisdom, however, has been gained not by experience, but by tapping into a greater source of wisdom within me, the wisdom of God.

Just as plants know how and when to push through the soil toward the sun, just as birds know to migrate hundreds of miles to their nesting grounds, I, too, have an inner wisdom. Closing my eyes to the distractions of the outer world, I find direction when I feel lost, inspiration when I am ready to hear, and a closeness to God as I open my heart. The wisdom of God lives within me.

"For the Lord gives wisdom." ---Proverbs 2:6
