Unfinished Business (Part 2)
So it was with John the Baptist, the martyr Stephen, the apostle Paul, John Kennedy, John Kennedy Jr. They have all joined with countless others, the gallant march with God’s greats who went to their glory with their work undone, their business unfinished, their dreams unfulfilled, and their lives incomplete.

White Sun - Tao of Heaven. Showers of Wisdom ( Part 2 of 3 )
A thought of joy is stars in panorama and clouds in celebration. A thought of anger is ear-splitting thunder and torrential rain. A thought of loving kindness is caressing breeze and sweet dew. A thought of dignity is scorching sun and autumn frost. This is a poem by JiGong, my Heavenly teacher.

True Will
Ephesians 5:17 it says Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Instructions... Guess Work or God's Work?
I love recipe books...looking through them, collecting them, and occasionally even using them. I suppose just having them is rather like a safety net. It's always mind assuring to know they are there just in case... But unless they are opened up and used, all the secrets inside will forever remain hidden from view. It will benefit no one. Are you hiding your hidden treasures from view?

Natural Talent
No one comes to this world without a gift or special talent that is not unique to him/her alone. The gifts that we bring are the tools we will use to experience physical life in our own special way. For some it is obvious, for others one may have to look a little deeper. The use of such gifts or talents are also subject to interpretation and are often used for purposes other than what we wanted to experience before birth. Most of us spend a lifetime searching for the connection to them.

Remote Viewing - Making Light of the Dark
Even Pandora and her box come in two versions. In one, the hideous woes of the world are let loose while locking hope inside. In another, life’s joys are allowed to overflow their container, leaving the dark behind. In both versions, the light and dark of all metaphor clearly exists in perpetuity.

Be Filled With The Spirit!
Be filled with the Spirit.… always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -EPHESIANS 5:18, 20
Some years ago, a couple traveled from their home in Chicago to Arrowhead Springs to talk to me about an idea they had. “We heard your lecture on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Our lives have been dramatically changed as a result,” they said enthusiastically. “We have come to encourage you to go on national television to tell Christians everywhere how they can know the Holy Spirit and experience His revolutionary impact in and through their lives.”
I am humbly grateful to God for the privilege of teaching these great truths concerning the Holy Spirit to tens of millions of people through-out the world, often with the same dramatic results this couple enjoyed. To be effective lighthouses for Jesus Christ, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.
