“You may awaken with a headache with a dullness or a sense of fear. None of this originates in you; none of this is a part of you. You may not have heard that there is an epidemic of flu, and yet the first thing you know is that you have come down with an attack of the flu. You were not exposed to it; you did not consciously entertain the idea of it but that suggestion entered your consciousness. When there is not an inner protection, that is, the understanding that this hypnotic or mesmeric influence, this mental malpractice or whatever you want to call it is not power and is not an emanation of God it can take root in you and appear in any and every form. That is why there are these human experiences of discord and disharmony.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalms 94:22 KJV
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

Ephesians 6:10-14 KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Isaiah 26:3 KJV
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Surround yourself in a constant Atmosphere of Truth focusing on God and His Presence and Direction—not in anxious thought, idolatry, fear and mental reasoning as the world does. Distractions come to those that lose their focus. Put on the Armor of Truth. ~Al Denninger

“Error touches your life in much the same way as subliminal perception operates. Things enter your consciousness which you cannot see, hear, taste, touch, or smell. It is not necessary to see a headline to know that there is trouble in the world, because even though that trouble may not consciously be brought to your attention, you inwardly feel it.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Luke 8:11-15
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Proverbs 14:5 KJV
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Romans 12:2 KJV
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Those “by the way side” are those that are effected by appearances and react to them. Beware of serpents with great presentations. Remain focused on the Truth or be fooled by lies. ~Al Denninger

“Without this realization, even though you are not consciously thinking of accidents or discords, diseases, sins, or temptations, you are permitting yourself to accept unconsciously or subconsciously the world's mesmeric and hypnotic suggestions.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

I 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.

Psalms 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still and Know that I Am God.

As long as we believe that suggestions of noisome pestilences are something to react to we are stuck in the cult of the natural man. The Truth is: even if we find our selves in the valley of the shadow of death, God is with us. The only way out of the cult is to be Raised up by the Christ. Be still and Spiritually Discern the Omnipresence of God… ~Al Denninger

“From the moment of waking in the morning to going to sleep at night, you should be doing protective work. But do not think of protective work in the sense of protecting yourself or anybody else from evil. Protective work is the realization that there is no power from which to protect yourself. It is living in the realization that since there is only one Power there are no powers to do anything or be anything, and any suggestion of some other power is a mesmeric influence. That is protective work.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 5:30 KJV
30 I can of mine own self do nothing:

Proverbs 3:6 KJV
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV
17 Pray without ceasing.

Colossians 1:16 KJV
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

I can of mine own self do nothing. It is the Father within that Does all the Work…. Always... He is the Source, the only Creator and the only Power to maintain His Creation… There is none other…. The Lord is my Shepherd, my protector, His Truth is my shield and buckler… I am not afraid, because He is with me Now—and I am with Him Now—and shall live and pray in His House forever…. The earth is the Lords and the Fullness thereof…. ~Al Denninger

“The responsibility is on your shoulders. ‘Awake thou that sleepest, ...and Christ shall give thee light.’ Wake up to the fact that your experience is going to be your own state of consciousness objectified. If you persist in walking around all day without living consciously in the realization of God—omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient God here and now, the all and only Power—and without impersonalizing all phases of evil and realizing that they exist only as the ‘arm of flesh’ or nothingness, you will not bring harmony into your experience.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Ephesians 5:14 KJV
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

2 Chronicles 32:8 KJV
8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

2 Corinthians 13:8 KJV
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

We will live a life of lies for as long as we work against the Truth. Seek the Truth—and Christ shall Raise thee Up and Give thee Light. Rest yourselves in the Word of God, for He is the only Power. Your Harmony is Truth Realized. Take His Word for it. ~Al Denninger

“God is. And God is ‘is-ing’ this very second. God is being this very second, and God is being all that God can be. There is no way for God to change.

“It is so easy to sit back and prate, ‘God will do it.’ But God will not do anything that He is not doing—and do not ever believe that God is going to do anything a minute from now that He is not doing now. Do not believe that you are ever going to know enough truth to influence God to do something for you or for anyone else. Do not think that you will ever be so spiritual that God is going to be your servant and fulfill your wishes, your hopes, or your desires. There is no such God.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

[Definition of “prate”: prate /prat/
intransitive verb
To talk idly and at length; chatter. To talk much and to little purpose; to be loquacious; to speak foolishly; to babble.
transitive verb
To utter foolishly; to speak without reason or purpose; to chatter, or babble.]

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.

Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

II Corinthians 3:13-17 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.

James 1:17 KJV
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turnin
g.


According to Christ Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount, “Your Father Knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him”. He Gave His flock the Prayers and Hymns they were used to, but also Lifted them in a Way for everyone to Experience the higher altitude of Spiritual Truth. Then, is it reasonable that God needs to be informed of the things we think we need? God already Knows. God Always Knows. Is it necessary to babble about baubles with a bunch of words that sound like prayers? Moses Heard The Word of God, Straight from God, but then he left his followers with a lengthy tradition of ritual, rules for humanity and a religion for his earthly generations.

The Christ removed the veil of ritual and the business of religion and taught His flock to enter into their closet: To be still and intimately Know the Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence of God, and Listen intently for His still small Voice. To rest in Silence with an attentive Ear, Opening the Door to the Spirit of Christ Consciousness and to Listen with all your Heart, with the attitude of: “speak Lord thy servant heareth”. Spirit to Spirit ye shall Know the Truth—and where the Spirit is Realized there is Liberty, Abundance and Harmony in All things—and for All People. He said, “All that the Father hath is thine”—so is there one thing to ask for if we already have All. Every Gift from God is Perfectly timed. ~Al Denninger

“Remember that temptation, whatever its form, has to be consciously rejected. This is not easy to do because the one thing the world is suffering from is mental inertia. It will not wake up and think. It wants to look at pictures. It does not want to give voice to specific truth. It does not want to live with truth. It wants to depend on an unknown God, or on a concept of God that has failed mankind for thousands of years.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV
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.

John 6:63,64 (to .) KJV
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.

Matthew 26:14 KJV
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 6:13 KJV
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

There are distractions in this-world that come in such a way that they appear like a good idea. If we fall prey to the temptation that our ego and our judgment rules our life, we are lost until such time that we return home as the prodigal did—to his Father’s House, to Live in the Father’s Truth. When we are tempted into thinking that we could be in control, stop...and demand that the tempting thought “get thee behind me”. God already Knows the things we have need of. His will be done—His Way. Live in the Father’s Truth. ~Al Denninger

“No matter what form of meditation you practice, it has to be built around the principle that there is only one power, that nothing but God, and the activity of God, is power, and that any sense of evil is impersonal, the activity of the fleshly mind. Where you are makes no difference: whether you go up in an airplane or down in a submarine, or whether you are a soldier on a battle front or a farmer tilling his soil. Whatever the nature of the human picture, it has to be consciously met. Every treatment or meditation must embody these two principles: the realized truth that God Itself is infinite and the only power, and that every appearance is but a mesmeric influence, the temptation of the one impersonal evil coming to your consciousness to be accepted or rejected.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

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.

Luke 20:21-25 KJV
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

John 19:10,11 (to :) KJV
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above:

Is there a place where God is not? [Do we Realize the Omnipresence of God?]
Do we render unto Caesar or God? [Are we entertained by this-world’s distractions, or do we Know of the Secret Place of the Most High, and do we Dwell there?]

“YOUR EXPERIENCE IS YOUR STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS OBJECTIFIED

Those are comforting words to read, but the all-important question before each and every person is: How can I arrive at that state of consciousness? How can I become the one who dwells ‘in the secret place of the most High’? I can assure you that this is not brought about by sitting idly by and accepting what the world doles out to you. It has to be done consciously. Whether you believe it or not, your life is either a conscious activity of your consciousness or the result of your unwillingness to let your consciousness express itself. You either become master of your fate and captain of your soul or you become a blotting paper for all the beliefs of good and evil that permeate the world, respond to them, and show them forth. You can become master of your fate only by an act of consciousness. This is not accomplished by the attitude, ‘Oh, God will take care of it.’ No, no, no! There must be an activity of truth in your consciousness, and that activity of truth has to be built stone upon stone.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

2 Peter 2:2-6 KJV
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

John 6:63 KJV
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.

2 Corinthian 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.

The newborn babe looks to have its life provided for—lovingly of course, and wonderful it is—but this-world’s babe cannot live without the provider’s gift constantly given in this-world. And so, in order to Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High, we must look for the Spirit within the Word, and the Essence of the Word to Shine as Consciousness Awareness. It is the Spirit of the Word that Gives Life Itself and Spiritually Sustains It. The Spirit Comes not by coasting. Are you willing to put in the effort to Build a Foundation of Truth? Are you willing to be so dedicated to Dwelling in the Spirit, to not only receive It, but to ably Minister It too? Are you willing to do what ever it takes to Be a Living Stone in that Foundation? ~Al Denninger

“How, then, can such mishaps and catastrophes be avoided? Is there a way? Yes, there most certainly is, if those who have been taught the principles of one power, impersonalization, and ‘nothingization’ can break through their mental inertia in the morning to the extent of consciously realizing: There is but one Power operating in this universe. It is not a, power of accident, death, disease, or sin. This Power is the same Power that causes the sun to rise and to set at its appointed time, and the tides to ebb and flow. The Power that is operating in this universe is the same Power that is operating in my consciousness, and It operates as the law unto my experience.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 40:25,26 KJV
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

“Every morning of the week, safety engineers forecast approximately how many accidental deaths will occur that day.

“Chapter 10

IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE

If you have studied the preceding chapters carefully, you should be beginning to understand that the universal belief of good and evil operates hypnotically upon every person in the world. Every phase of discord that comes into any person's experience is a mesmeric influence from which he has not learned to protect himself. What with automobile collisions, sudden storms, and even coconuts falling from the trees, a person who leaves his home in the morning has no positive assurance that he will return safely at night.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

1 John 5:19 KJV
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Psalms 91:7 KJV
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

1 Timothy 4:7 KJV
7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

2 Corinthians 4:3,4 KJV
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
