Renee Morgan BrooksRev. Renee Morgan BrooksLove is the answer, no matter what the question, by Romantic Poetess followers.

Love is a Choice! No matter what the issue is! What if we endeavored, dared even, to do simple things that could change our behavior so we live from love consciously/as a group/with each choice and action? Dare to Imagine!

We can Start with us, simple things and make a massive movement with profound consequences and worldwide ramifications. Love is the one thing we all need and crave because it is the source of who we are!

Come Sunday and lets explore simple choices for a worldwide movement Love as a Movement Together

Until we meet try singing this - a twist on an old standard. Im just saying… Notice any changes in attitude or feelings.

Let There be Love on Earth and Let It begin with Me
Let There be Love on Earth the Love that was meant to be
With God as our Power, Loved Ones all are we
Let Us walk with each other in perfect harmony

Let Love begin with Me, Let this be the Moment Now
With every thought I think, Let this be my Joyous Vow
To take each Moment and LIVE each moment in LOVE ETERNALLY
LET THERE BE LOVE ON EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME.
NOW THERE IS LOVE ON EARTH AND NOW IT BEGINS WITH ME

If we have Love, are Love, we have Peace. Think about it! See you Sunday.

Lori FlemingWelcome to a brand new year filled with promise for abundant good. I have spent the last couple of days pondering what lies ahead and even though there seems to be apparent chaos in parts of my life, I know that chaos is part of the natural order. In order for something great to emerge, things have to change.

I am willing to let go of what no longer serves me as I begin to create something new, better, more fulfilling. I release anything negative and recognize the changes that are happening as growth and unfoldment.

For me, I see a year of promise and possibility. My affirmation is: May two zero one three, be the best year yet for you and me.

Abundant blessings,

Rev. Lori

Every seeming challenge has the seed of opportunity to practice faith at a deeper level. We will discover that in order to overcome obstacles, the solution is found in the silence.

When we become centered in the presence of the living God, our faith cooperates with the manifestation of prosperity in all areas of our lives. Each day, God reveals new ways to increase and use our unlimited gifts, talents and abilities, creating solutions to every seeming challenge.

As we pray for healing—for ourselves or for a loved one—our faith in God's wisdom, strength and love fortifies our prayers with spiritual illumination and brings us back to wholeness.

Through the spirit of the living Christ within, our minds and bodies express health and wholeness.

Abundant blessings,

Rev. Lori

Lori FlemingIs there something in your life that is challenging you? Does it seem that you are stuck in the past as old tapes in your head constantly loop over and over? We can choose to remain in old consciousness or we can do deeper introspection and see what has been hidden that wants to be revealed.

When we let go of resistance, we can find new ways to respond to old problems, attitudes, judgments and opinions. Wanting life to be different than it is now without being willing to do this work is the definition of insanity. You know, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Sometimes we feel emotions that make us uncomfortable and our first impulse is to look away, burying them deep within our psyche. This can create drama, feed our addictions or simply distract us from the real issues.

I invite you to do some deep, inner work. Discover what you are saying to yourself in your mind. If it is negative, take the time to reprogram those old tapes and put positive affirmations in place that encourage, nurture, and uplift.

By inviting God into your life for a personal relationship through prayer and meditation, we are opening our consciousness to the healing energy of Spirit. Over time, as our relationship grows, our life will begin to be less challenging and answers to problems will come quickly, easily and lovingly.

Abundant Blessings,

Rev. Lori

Lori FlemingWe live in an age of discovery and invention. Not a day passes that some new or updated product is offered to make our lives better. This is a tribute to our amazing curiosity and ingenuity in our quest for meaning and understanding. We are not discovering new laws. Instead, we are simply learning how to use existing natural laws in a new way.

The greatest discovery is one of self-discovery as we turn within and gain insight for new ways to tackle old challenges. As we turn within, we open our eyes to see things as they truly are with brilliant clarity.

Is there a challenge in your life today? Are you being called to create something amazing but the way is not really clear? I invite you to go into the silence and open your Spiritual eyes. In the silence is found the answer to every question. In the silence is the solution to every problem. In the silence is the Mind of God, filled with all of the Divine ideas necessary to make our lives peaceful, loving and overflowing with abundance and prosperity.

Abundant Blessings,

Rev. Lori

Lori FlemingWe are now officially in the fall season. The nights have started to get longer and the days are growing shorter. Soon, my morning walk will begin before the sun comes up. I love this time of day because it is quiet and peaceful.

Because I grew up in the mid-west, fall is a special time for me. I love the color of the leaves, the cooler days and the brilliant blue skies. I remember driving in the countryside as a child looking for bittersweet, a vine with a distinctive orange berry that we dipped in wax to preserve for floral arrangements. Yet, hidden in the joy of the fall season is the promise of the cold, dark days of winter.

All of the plants are getting ready for a time of dormancy. Growth will slow or even stop as a time of rest begins. It may look as if the plant is dead, but it is making preparation for a time of flowering in the spring. For me, this is a metaphor for taking more time to go within, do some spiritual housekeeping through denial and forgiveness and prepare myself for new growth and unfoldment.

I invite you to join me in taking more time for prayer and meditation. We all know that rest is crucial in rebuilding cells and staying healthy. Spiritual rest helps to insure a healthy consciousness. Connecting to the power of the Divine on a regular basis makes our lives work more harmoniously.

May God's blessings fill your life in this fall season.

Rev. Lori

Lori FlemingOne of Unity’s basic tenants is the idea of denial and affirmation. Most of us can resonate with the idea of affirmations because they are positive and we sincerely want to eliminate negativity from our lives. For many years, I used affirmations without denials because I was a Unity “Pollyana,” only focusing on the good.

During a health challenge when I was in Ministerial School, I was trying very hard to heal myself by using affirmations. I was getting worse, even though I was spending more than an hour a day in prayer and meditation. As part of my class work, I began reading, “Keep A True Lent” by Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity. There is a forty-day lesson plan for the 40 days of Lent. The first lesson was “Denials.” As I read it, I realized that I did not understand what denials were and I was not using this Spiritual principle properly.

To properly use a denial, we don’t deny that something negative exists. Rather, we deny that it has any power over us. This is a subtle but interesting difference. As I began to practice using denials and affirmations, my health started to get better.

If you are experiencing something in your life that no longer serves you, I invite you to begin denying that the issue has any power over you and your life. Create a positive affirmation to go with your denial and you will experience real Spiritual power.

Abundant blessings,

Rev. Lori

They were demonstrators of the Divine sublime in form. Both Charles and Myrtle manifested physical healings by valuing their inner essence connected to the One. The Fillmores accomplished this even when their own followers considered it impossible in their day, and is still considered unexplainable in ours.

Thanks to the human potential movement, quantum physics and the internet, news of our true capabilites are rapidly revealing the working of the Presence Within. These are things the ancients accepted thousands of years before. For most of us this is frightening rather than something we long for or crave to uncover!

The time is now! You and I have come to the planet to be part of a time the Ancients predicted. We have before us the opportunity to move into the realization of our Divinity in the body and know more joy and health, regeneration, rejuvenation, abundance and peace!

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.

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.

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.

This is a beautiful tribute and important day for Moms. Let us take it deeper by honoring and acknowledging the Divine Feminine Goddess of all.

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.

As we affirm; I have Faith in God; I have Faith in the Spirit; I have Faith in things invisible; these affirmations quicken the mind, making God visible to the mind and strengthens the Faith faculty. This action will bring forth the knowing of the Presence of God, to be received by the giving up of personal attachments and repenting or changing one’s mind.” Charles Fillmore Co-Founder of Unity of Practical Christianity.

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.

The theme this month for our Sunday Services will be “renewal.” What do we need to do in order to renew personally and collectively as we go into this New Year? In a garden we spend time working to prepare for the renewal of the plant life. We clean out the dead and dying plants – the ones that are no longer serving us. We put them in the compost pile and transform them into fertilizer for the next generation of growth. We can transform our consciousness and our lives in a similar manner. We can use Unity teachings to transform that which is no longer serving us into a higher level of consciousness that will support the renewal we would like to see in our personal and collective lives.

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.

There is an abundance of historical documentation that credits the Emperor Constantine (Emperor of Rome 307 – 337) for selecting December 25 as the day to celebrate the birth of Christ. Breathe! The Emperor is also credited with organizing and establishing Christianity as the official religion; Sunday as “the official day” of worship; tax deductible status of the church...but wait there’s more!
The Creed of Nicaea, the predecessor to the Nicene Creed, a proclamation of faith still used by many Christian denominations today was created under the Emperor as well. By far Constantine’s greatest impact was in demanding the compilation of sacred text to create the Bible. It is through the Bible that we hear of the Love of God and the profound message of the Christ. Regardless of the liberal editing that may have occurred or the scriptures that may have been left out, it is the Bible that informs us of the coming of the Christ, The Presence of Eternal Goodness and the Kingdom of Love and Light that can be accessed through each of us.

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

“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!

In my own life, I recognize that no matter what the outer appearance may be, God is working in and through me to bring a new and higher awareness of the abundance that the universe is now providing.

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

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
