"THE DAILY LESSON", an ongoing open class by Infinite Way
Teacher Al Denninger, is inspired by the message of
Joel S. Goldsmith. In this Book Study we delve into Joel's books paragraph by
paragraph, from cover to cover. I provide Scripture supporting his entire Work
and an Impartation from my daily Experience. These classes appear on my website
and by email subscription each day, for my students
to take into their daily meditations and to carry with them throughout their
day.
We are currently studying the book "THE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE" By Joel S
Goldsmith
On October 10th, 2026, we began Chapter 10 "Meditation On Life By
Grace"
STUDENTS NOTE:In my teaching, the words that are capitalized
throughout the work are not capitalized for emphasis. Instead, the purpose is
to Lift the student into the Awareness that these words are a Synonym for, or
an Activity of God. The portions that are italicized are spontaneous
meditations.
At the conclusion of each chapter the Lessons are posted to the
IWSO Archives, where there are
over 16 years of consecutive Lessons for your further review and study!

God Is Your Dwelling Place Many persons have been taught that if they
wanted something, they should pray for it. If they needed a new home, they
prayed specifically for a new home or did mental work about it. But
in the Infinite Way, or for that matter in any other mystical teaching, no one
would do mental work, take thought, or pray about attaining or
acquiring a home. What he would do would be to settle down into a meditation,
and if he found it difficult to become still, he might begin by realizing:
There can be only one home because I live and dwell in God; I live and move
and have my being in God. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Matthew 6:31-33 KJV
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
Acts 17:28 KJV
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your
own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Living and moving and Being is not something in the past that happened once,
or something that might happen again someday
It is Now, right now that we
are Gods Offspring... We are Gods Living Individual Expression...
If so be I Dwell in Gods Kingdom, what could I possibly ask for?...
Should I be thinking about improving my experience in this-world?... My Father
already Knows what I have need of
God is my Shepherd, I shall not
want
I can of mine own self do nothing
The Spirit within, He doeth
the Work
I am Home

When your prayer is a complete relaxing in the Word, you are fulfilling
the requirements of prayer, the prayer which is a realization of God's presence
and power. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Matthew 6:5 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut
thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;
Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own
works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the
same example of unbelief.
Philippians 4:7 KJV
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.
When we enter into our Secret Place and relax in Gods Word our prayer is
not ours any more, and our work is not ours anymore, it is His. Gods
Kingdom is Come. There is nothing left to do but to Be still and rest in His
Presence in awe and gratitude. During this Great Peace that Passeth
understanding, our heart and mind is His Expression. Christ Liveth our Life.

The Daily Lesson October 23, 2026
As you go through the day, discords will most likely present themselves
to you, and oftentimes they will be in the form of erroneous persons. If so,
you will be called upon to realize that in the presence of God there is only
the person of God's creating. At other times, evil may present itself to you as
some kind of a negative law: a law of matter, weather, or climate, and it will
be necessary for you to know that inasmuch as God is Spirit and infinite, the
only law must be spiritual law. ~Joel S Goldsmith
John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
1 John 4:1-6 NIV
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the
world.
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the
spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is
already in the world.
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who
is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world,
and the world listens to them.
6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from
God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the
spirit of falsehood.
This world is full of distractions and every one of them is erroneousthe
evil distractions and even the good distractions, if they lead us off the
straight and narrow and down some rabbit hole. Appearances of false prophets,
universal belief, lack, the spirit of falsehood or hypnotism are all the same
thingdistractions that occupy our thought and convince us that we are
somehow separated from the Spirit of Truth. We are from God and our job is to
acknowledge, practice and Live as such. Realize God and Live the Truth. ~Al

The Daily Lesson October 22, 2026
There is only one legitimate thing for which to pray to God and that is
for the realization of God's presence and God's power. It is legitimate to ask
God to give you Himself, but nothing else. As a matter of fact, there is
nothing else anyone could need or want. When you have attained the realization
of God's Self, you will recognize how wise and true was the Master's statement,
All these things shall be added unto you; only be sure that you are
not taking thought for these things, and that your whole desire is for the
understanding of God:
Where I am, God is; and God knows all about me. He knows my need before I
do, and it is His good pleasure to give me the Kingdom. I will relax and rest
in His word; I will not seek to use a God-power, nor will I seek to influence
God. ~Joel S Goldsmith
II Corinthians 3:14-17 KJV
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil
untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in
Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.
Luke 12:22-32 KJV
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought
for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have
storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the
fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought
for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I
say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow
is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of
doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father
knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added
unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you
the kingdom.
Acts 8:18-22 KJV
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy
Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may
receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast
thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in
the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the
thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Being infinite, God cannot give you anything but Himself, and when you
pray for something other than God, you are praying amiss. When you pray to God
for health, for peace on earth, for supply, for home, or for companionship, you
are praying like the pagans who began this whole practice of that kind of
petitionary prayer thousands of years ago. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Luke 15:31 KJV
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is
thine.
Matthew 6:7,8 KJV
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye
have need of, before ye ask him.
Ephesians 3:19-21 KJV
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world
without end. Amen.

Moreover, you are perhaps expecting God to give you health, supply,
companionship, or home; and if you are, you are praying amiss. The Master is
very clear on that point: Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.... If
ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. Abide in what words? The word that God is and
that God is where you are, that God does know your need and gives it to you
freely, and that your function is to relax and to be a beholder, letting God's
grace unfold. ~Joel S Goldsmith
James 4:3 (to ,) KJV
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,
Matthew 6:25 (to .) KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
John 15:7 KJV
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it shall be done unto you.
Matthew 6:8 KJV
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye

Psalm 46:10 KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I
will be exalted in the earth.

Why We Do Not Experience the Kingdom
The question may arise in your mind: If God is present, if God already knows my
need, if it is God's good pleasure to give me the Kingdom, then why am I not
experiencing it? The only answer to that question is that instead of
recognizing that God is, that God is present where you are, that God already
knows your need, and that it is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, you
have perhaps gone way off somewhere trying to find God, trying to get
God-power, trying to discover what you can do to bring God into your
experience. You have been looking in the wrong direction: You have been looking
where God is not, that is, where God is not as far as your immediate
demonstration of harmony is concerned. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Psalms 91:8 KJV
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
1 John 2:15 KJV
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Isaiah 55:1-3 KJV
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no
money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and
without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for
that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is
good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I
will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Matthew 6:19-21 & 33 KJV
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
Only with this-world eyes and thoughts can we be distracted, or have a sense of
separation from God. Incline your Ear and behold the Ever-presence of God.
Right where you are God Is. Open your Awareness to that which Is. When we are
focused on and Dwell in the Secret Place of Truth, the old man and all of his
ideas fade away into the nothingess it always was. ~Al Denninger

Never forget that you do not have to ask God for anything: God is already
closer to you than breathing, God is already omnipresent where you are; and
more than this, God is the all-knowing intelligence that already knows your
need. Therefore, do not waste any time telling God what you need or when you
need it or how much you need because it is His good pleasure to give you the
Kingdom. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Acts 17:27-28 KJV
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find
him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your
own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Job 33:4 KJV
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me

God is omnipresence. The place whereon thou standest is holy
ground because the presence of God is there. So you do not have to spend
time wondering how to reach God, how to bring Him into your experience, or how
to make yourself worthy of Him, but you live and move and have your being in
the realization that wherever you are, God is. It makes no difference whether
you are sick, momentarily sinning, temporarily in lack or limitation, or even
if you are dying. Right where you are, God is, and your function is merely to
keep remembering that, but not to try to make it happen because it is already
true. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Acts 7:33 KJV
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place
where thou standest is holy ground.
Psalms 139:7-10 KJV
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold,
thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the
sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the
Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly
fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
There is only One Truth, One Source and there is no other. The Lord is your
Shepherd, you shalt not want. Right where you are, God Is. You do not need to
search for God. Just Acknowledge Him. ~Al Denninger

The major point that everyone on the spiritual path must constantly
remember is that he is not seeking a powernot even a God-power-to do
anything for him or for anyone else. It is not that he does not need God-power,
because God-power is forever present; but no one can bring the power of God
into his experience by praying for it, by asking for it, by sacrificing, by
being good, or by observing rites, rituals, fast or feast days. ~Joel S
Goldsmith
Isaiah 30:1-3 KJV
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of
me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin
to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to
strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of
Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the
shadow of Egypt your confusion.
James 4:3-8 KJV
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon
your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the
enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us
lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but
giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil [division], and he will
flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye
sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Matthew 6:31-32 KJV
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Give your heart to God alone, not to distractions, division and imaginings. The
Gentiles of this-world seek comfort and supply in the earthly treasures that
world-thought has tempted and convinced them is true. Thoughts of a source of a

God's Omnipresence
Most persons believe that there is a power of good and a power of evil, and
they are always trying to get some power of good to do something to a power of
evil. As you enter the spiritual life, however, you soon become aware of the
fact that all mystical teachings, and especially the revelations of Christ
Jesus, are based on the concept or idea of resist not evil, and
take no thought. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Psalms 139:7 KJV
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
Matthew 5:39 KJV
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:
Romans 13:13 KJV
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
II Corinthians 3:13-18 KJV
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of
Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil
untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in
Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of
the Lord.

This is especially true for those who are teachers because it is when
they are not teaching that they are living closest to their spiritual center.
Then, they are not thinking and speaking through the mind, saying things that
oftentimes sound foolish. Words always sound foolish to the real teacher
because anyone who has advanced to the point of being a teacher knows that God
is not reached through speech or through thought: God is reached only through
silence. The one legitimate excuse there is for voicing truth is to teach it,
and the only reason for remembering even a little bit of truth is so that you
can settle down in conscious union with God and thereby in union with your
good. ~Joel S Goldsmith
Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
James 4:8 KJV
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
1 Corinthians 2:9-14 KJV
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love
him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in
him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they
are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
Isaiah 30:15 KJV
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest
shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
I know this: that if you really want to learn about God, teach about God. It
forces you to focus on all aspects of the subject. Good teachers should be able
to answer easy questions and will have to answer tough ones too. Some times it
takes me a while in stillness and pondering to be able to answer a question,
but it is a great opportunity to immerse in the Truth and Let the Truth unfold.

The first and very simple rule is not to reach out to God for something,
to be sure that you do not believe you need a God-power, and to realize
constantly that your only need is for the realization of God's grace. Aside
from that, the less talking you do about what you know the better for you and
for those you are helping. ~Joel S Goldsmith
John 15:5 KJV
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the
same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having

Except for the realization of the true nature of prayer, which carries
with it the understanding that God does not have to be appealed to or used, and
the understanding that all the presence, substance, power, and law of God are
where you are, silence is far more valuable than all the speech and all the
teaching that can be given. That is why a person can usually do far greater
work as a practitioner than as a teacher because a teacher is constantly being
called upon to speak, and what he says sometimes deflects from the inward
realization that God is. To be able to abide in the is-ness of God is far
better than all the teaching or talking in the world. It is not what a person
says that does the greater works: it is the quiet, peaceful realization.
~Joel S Goldsmith
Isaiah 30:15 KJV
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest
shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and
ye would not.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut
thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye
have need of, before ye ask him.
Pray in secrecy and silence. Seeking only to Be with the Righteous Spirit of
God. Too Know the Truthand Prove it. God already Knows, we are the
Branches, on and of, the One Vine.
To Be
Consciously One
In Communion
How else could we pray to an All-Knowing, always Present and All-Powerful God?

Beyond a few simple statements of truth which every truth student must
understand and realize, there is little of an intricate or difficult nature
that one has to know so far as knowing truth is concerned. The difficult part
comes in developing a state of consciousness which enables him to be inwardly
still. ~Joel S Goldsmith
John 6:58-69 KJV
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat
manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an
hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto
them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except
it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living
God.
Psalm 131 KJV
1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise
myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his
mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
What Jesus is teaching his disciples in John 6 is definitely an hard
saying. It is as hard as can be for this-world consciousness, impossible
for most casual listeners. The Truth passeth understanding in this-world. Many
of the followers of Jesus murmured among themselves, and left him after this
teaching. They stopped Following and returned back to their former lives. It is
very hard Principle to grasp, for sure.
Only in the Stillness and in the Silence of Dwelling in the secret place of the
Most High will we Hear the Word. This takes practice being inwardly still.
Quiet yourself as David did. Weaning oneself off this-worlds universal
belief is not easy. Be patient with yourself, but be focused and diligent. ~Al

Chapter 10
MEDITATION ON LIFE BY GRACE
The greatest spiritual blessings that come into your experience are not brought
about so much by what you know of truth as by the degree of silence you can
maintain. What you know of truth, that is, of the letter of truth, acts only as
a foundation for the real demonstration of spiritual living. ~Joel S
Goldsmith
Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
Isaiah 40:31 KJV
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint.
John 5:39-40 KJV
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
2 Corinthians 3:3-6 KJV
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God;
not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves;
but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter,
but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.
Be still and Wait,
upon The Lord.
And Know His Grace
Is Infinite.
The Spirit Moves,
not on the page.
But in the Peace,
beyond letters,
words and thoughts.
So, wont you Trust,
the Christ within.
And Listen Deeply,
for His Spirit to,
Open your Heart,
to accept the Gift,
of Eternal Life.
~Al Denninger
So, won't you Trust the Christ within? ---> click --->
