Be mindful. Be watchful. Be obedient to the principles of God. In God's commandments are blessings. There are false perceptions in the trends and traditions of mankind that result in unnecessary misery, disappointment, suffering, sickness, and demise. The satanic entities are biting at your heels, which is to say your lower nature. Your false perception of yourself, and your ignoble desires to succeed through lower means are not in accordance with your true status as a divine child of God. The satanic entities want you to worship them through your lower desires of the material world, through which they gain greater influence and sway you to commit acts against your divine self and the principles of divinity. You may think you are elevating materially by doing things that are absent from God's Holy Presence and Divine Principles, however by such lower means and methods you are then enslaved to the temporal existence. Your divine goal is in demonstrating the beauty and harmony of God. God wants you to prosper without creating in-harmony or harming others. God certainly does not want you, as his child, to be enslaved because you serve the false trends and traditions instituted by individuals aligned with lower entities. Claim your divine rights. Face the challenges and circumstances of life by bravely applying divine principles in an intelligent manner. Seek God's guidance, in all your ways acknowledge and honor God. Respect and cherish your divine soul. Do not corrupt your life for the glamorous appearance and attainment of success gained through wicked ways. Your erroneous ego will endeavor to perpetuate its prideful disposition over your higher thinking. Cling to your higher perceptions and noble aspirations that are essential to unfolding your soul. Denounce lower desires and claim victory over vanity; stomp the heel of your left foot seven times while doing so. Read the 68th Psalm morning and night.

The best way to improve your life is by self-control. Self-control is the self-management of your faculties and talents towards a desirable goal to make your life better. By governing your behavior, you can improve relationships and facilitate respect. It is the small things that are said and done that can spoil relationships. The comments and behaviors that spoil relationships are often detected when it is assumed that others are not really paying attention. Individuals can reason what you are saying, and how it is presented can insult their character. These seemingly cloaked statements (which are thought that others do not realize) reveal your hidden perspectives and agendas and have others wondering and perceiving that your actions, words, and persona are in conflict, pretending, or are hypocritical. Being rude, crude, and debasing even in a joking manner does not foster positive relationships. Constructive criticism is delivered in a manner to improve the circumstances and the character of the individual. Good and meaningful friendships are significant in various circumstances and situations. When you need a friend, who can you turn to? Be mindful of those moments when you need to adjust your behavior. Speak not to debilitate or to debase an individual trying to find their way in life. See how you can help. Self-governance also includes knowing when you are to address individuals who want to misuse you. Be aware of those who behave in a manner to take advantage of your well-meaning nature and kindness. Self-governance means facing your adversarial circumstances with courage and conviction. It requires facing your internal conflicts, unregulated emotions, your human weaknesses, and your mental dispositions to advocate your position in an appropriate and positive manner. The essential control needed must be over the lower ego, which is often too hot or too cold, too hard, or too soft; having too much of a sense of being a superior persona, or perceiving yourself as too inferior to be effective. Self-governance is also an aspect of temperance, which requires directing your desires and activities in a positive direction and not allowing yourself to engage in your addictive lower self-desires. Unbecoming attributes do not produce positive results. A lack of temperance can be detrimental to all the positive things which have been accomplished previously. Do not lose out and fail, as many have, due to hidden desires that you do not want to be revealed. Replace lower desires with higher aspirations. Read the 123rd Psalm, and be sincere in making needed changes.

To attain certainty in your prayers, affirmations, and decrees, align your sacred solicitations with the truth and divine purpose of God's Holy Will. Your spiritual solicitations, in the forms of affirmations, decrees, and prayers must be rendered sincerely, compassionately, and confidently. Heaven is a singularity wherein there is pristine balance, heavenly harmony, immaculate perfection, and only good. Singularity of consciousness is the perfect state of being in oneness with the Supreme Being, in knowing that there is no duality equal to God. The supposed opposition to God is predicated on a false notion, that there is an entity equal to God, which is the sinking sands of doubting. Doubting is a human perception and often is the satanic entity seeking to deceive one to think that they are not heard by God. Evil entities exist, yes, but they are not equal to God who is immeasurable and unlimited. Evil entities are fallen ones of angelic orders. When we ask for God’s will to be done it shall come to fruition because it has been, and is done in heaven and shall be glorified in the earth. When we ask for our desired will to be done in the form of a prayer, if it is a decree or prayer against God’s divine will, it does not manifest from heaven. Jesus prayed for the bitter cup of the crucifixion to be passed. However, Jesus stated, “nevertheless not my will but thy will be done...” and in so doing Jesus was greatly glorified. We on occasion are saddened when our prayers are not aligned with God’s divine plan and seem to not be answered. We think that we or God has failed. God never fails. We fail to be aligned with God’s will. God's will nonetheless will be glorified in greater means if we accept God’s will. Our karma and tasks may be challenging; however, God’s glory will manifest. We have creative powers that we can use for good or evil. Prayers and desires that are not elevated to the higher vibratory plane of heaven could be wrought from the astral plane of duality and may cause things to become worse because of the imbalance, in-harmony, and other negative factors that come to gestate. The higher mind is a higher connection to divinity and the certainty of God. The righteous mind is the higher alignment with God's divine will and purpose which is the key to God abiding in you and you abiding in him. As such, you will decree a thing and it shall come to pass. That which is decreed in alliance with “God’s Will” shall result in harmony “…on earth as it is in heaven”. Read the 119th Psalm on Sundays. Read the 103rd Psalm daily, Monday through Saturday.

You will need to become more and more sensitive, and attuned to the impressions you are receiving. You are becoming more sentient to the inner dimension of the realm of the spirit. Acknowledge and give thanks to divine guidance. Adhere to your higher impressions. Accept the inner voice that seeks to direct you. Your inner voice from the tree of life directs you in ways that are beneficial and positive. You will be given courage, comfort, and certainty from the guidance received from the higher realm. The higher guides will warn you of negative matters to protect you and aid you in avoiding unnecessary situations. The demonic entities will attempt to sway you, by appealing to your lower egotistical selfish perceptions and your self-serving desires. To attain answers, ask your guiding angelic assemblies and your spiritual guides, for the understanding required in knowing who, what, when, where, which, how, and why. Be thankful when you receive the answer by whatever means it may come. You will be directed. You will not be forced. You will be informed. Pay attention. You will be provided information to make the right choice, however, the choice is yours. Demonic entities want you to esteem them as viable sources of life, but they come not but to kill, steal and destroy. The satanic entities cause contention, obstructs, cloaks, maleficent pain from pleasure, disrupts, weakens, lies, corrupts with vain lewdness, and hatred. Rebuke these negative sways of the satanic ones, as Jesus did with the truth of God. Be committed and obedient to the principles of light, life, and love. Within them, you will attain and emanate blessings. Each day thank God for the guidance of the divine being. Thank God for heavenly angels; for their spiritual guidance and divine protection. Your intuitive insight will increase through meditative practices, expressions of loving-kindness, and an appreciation for the divine presence in your life. Demonstrate your compassion by aiding others and God will reveal his will to you in greater measure. Read the 28th Psalm and burn white 23rd Psalm candles.

A wise farmer plants seeds in fertile soil. Like the wise farmer, you must plant your seeds in terms of your tithes and offerings to obtain a rich harvest of blessings and fulfillment. Plant the seeds that you want to grow. These are the seeds that represent your desires, ideas, and aspirations. Plant the seeds in the Holy order which is teaching and blessing you to live a noble life. These seeds represent your appreciation, your esteem, and your understanding. This would greatly aid you in achieving your goals. Give both your offerings and tithes in love and with certainty. Know that in giving, you shall receive numerous blessings. Your tithes will contribute greatly to your spiritual growth and your material prosperity. You must also tithe your time in prayer, meditation, and study. Seek to cleanse yourself of the corrupting thoughts of doubt. Mute the lower mind and affirm the higher truths enthusiastically. Release yourself of feelings due to past disappointments by realizing that you have prevailed and are being renewed. You met the challenge of your karma, which was a season. Now prepare for the season of new blessings and greater truth. Be sincere and compassionate about obtaining your sincere desires. Be certain that you are working in a manner in which God is pleased with what you are doing and what you desire to accomplish. If God is for you then who can be against you. Anoint yourself daily for success. Affirm in words and action: “I am pleasing God in all manners of my life.” Read the 45th Psalm and burn green candles this month.

You have all the essentials to accomplish your goals and mission in life. You have the talents and skills, which will be further developed as you use them. Build upon that which you have, and be willing to expand your skills and talents through experiences that will cause you to learn and evolve. You have the essential truth. Use it to manifest your noble desires; to transform your character, and to change your destiny. Truth in action is faith. Faith is the application of truth principles. Increase your faith by increasing your understanding of the truth. The application of truth will increase your faith through divine experiences. Let the truth create the changes in your consciousness that are required to truly worship God. The truth and spirit are the means to worship God sincerely and correctly. Your action and application of the truth will unfold your mind and soul to realize greater possibilities. Remove doubt. Do not focus on the negative. Do not imagine failure. Imagine that which is in accordance with the divine principles and patterns of heaven. Fuel your faith, not your doubts. A fulfilled life is a life that manifests one’s faith. Thoughts of doubt and feelings of fear are the germs that weaken and debilitate your faith. Seek to glorify God in all your experiences and circumstances. You are a being of truth, as such, perform your tasks with faith and love. Read the 33rd Psalm this month.

The mysteries of life are clearly perceived by understanding, that which is the essence and innate spirit, and that which causes the gestation of the material, into an outer manifestation of the physical world. There is no existence that is separate from the higher vibratory, invisible spiritual aspects and divine entities. The material is perishable. The spiritual is imperishable. The senses of the physical body, called the “terrestrial body” are designed to experience and relate to “material” manifestations. You also have another higher body called the “celestial body,”’ which is a vessel of the inner self. Celestial body experiences are sentient to the metaphysical world. The celestial body contains our spiritual faculties. The material ego of the lower self thrives to obtain material things needed or desired, for existence or pleasure. The things that the material ego seeks are not always necessary and are often problematic. The physical existence is strongly attached to the “astral body” with its plethora of emotions. Some of the emotions developed are unsuitable, destructive, and can plague life with false perceptions, ignoble attachments, illusions, and hardships. The lower mind is conjoined with the senses of the sensory physical world. The intellectual and reasoning abilities of lower mental perceptions are not based on principles that are inclusive, and as a result, are unbalanced partial truths, and categorized facts, which isolate other aspects and considerations of truth. The mental ego isolates itself and considers its functions and determinations as to the true self when it is and should be used as a tool of the divine self. The mental ego contrarily becomes a misconceived inept ruler of one’s existence. This erroneous self-identification as the mind is due to a deficient will. A strong will is that which is needed to direct the mind to obey and align with the higher triune soul. The higher self identifies with God and seeks to be one with the eternal. The higher aspirations and goals of the Holy Breath are to be glorified in the material and make the material reflect inner divinity. In this adventure of life, the task is to achieve a harmonious merger of the higher triune soul that elevates the lower aspects. When the higher aspects are emerged, and thereby transform the lower nature, the faculties and likeness of the Divine is attained and man becomes a new creation. Those who seek the material for the sake of material, not to demonstrate divinity, but for selfish motives, will realize the possessions they have attained in time and space will be destroyed, and all their gains will perish. The great eternal treasures are of the higher dimension called Heaven. Heaven can be realized on earth. Seek to realize and manifest the spiritual aspects in all things. Seek to demonstrate the beauty and splendor of God in your earthen vessel, in humanity, and within you. Read the 30th Psalm this month.

Understand much of your reality is what you perceive it to be. It is also predicated on how you react to people and circumstances. However, you should know, perception of reality is not always real. Seeing in part as well as partial decisions are made with partial facts, which result in inadequate responses and inappropriate behavior. The individuals who choose to play with you, to manipulate you, and control you, do so because they have a knowledge of how you will respond to them. Even animals can sense how one feels. Be appropriate to your circumstances and respond wisely to instigators. Listen to what you do not hear being said, as much as to what is being presented. Do not allow others to program your thinking and behavior with lies mixed with elements of truth. Work to de-stress. Engage with people and with things that create joyful experiences for you. Make good plans. Focus and execute your plan to assure quality and leave the intangibles to God, knowing you have done your best. Seek to enhance your friendships with those who have shown themselves to have integrity. Win others with a smile and loving kindness. Create beauty about yourself. Identify things about you that you need to change and improve. Do not be satisfied with the same situation. Do not perceive stress, despair, and poor dispositions as your permanent reality. Know the power of positive thinking can reshape your life. Align your thinking with positive attributes of the universe. Do not succumb to negative energies or negative people who are negatively influenced, and as such, create cycles of negative experiences. There is a “well” of potential that you need to discover and tap into. Applying the principles of truth is the best means to have them work in your circumstances. The truth that arranged and established a new life of beauty for others can also work for you. Work it, and act to make desirable changes in your life. Read the 60th Psalm this month.

Adjust your thinking, and manage your life circumstances to attain success in all aspects of your life. Your preoccupation with the material must be such that it does not stunt your spiritual growth. Your spiritual engagement is not to negate the fulfillment of your human potential. Master your human experiences by incorporating the principles and perfecting powers of truth. Manifesting your human potential reflects your spiritual growth. Your spiritual growth will emanate from you to bless everything you set your heart and hand to accomplish. In all aspects of life, seek and ask for the “Christ Spirit” to be revealed. Seek to manifest and work harmoniously with the will and wisdom of God’s love, and the principles of power. Practice meditating, and apply the truth in your circumstances and challenges. Express divine compassion to others and aid them in facing life with truths, rather than falsehoods. Help to open their minds and hearts to the unadulterated truth. Do not linger with ones who refuse to accept or diminish divine principles. Love your truth. Read 12th chapter of Isaiah.

Greatness is achieved in simple manners. It is the simple things that perplex and confound the wicked. The woman with the issue of blood was healed with a simple touch. The centurion’s relative, was healed by a simple word. Naaman was healed by obeying God’s direction given to him by Elisha. What is needed to attain greatness from God? It is reverential sincerity of truth and God's spirit. Create your affirmations and prayers with sincerity. Recite your affirmations and scriptures with enthusiasm and certainty. Know that God is loyal and faithful in his word. Know that the Name of God serves to bless you in your decrees and praises of his Divine Name. God has created all your needs before you realize that you had a need. Do not make God accountable for your failures, or the failures of mankind. Seek divine guidance in all matters. Design your blessings, as the woman with the issue of blood designed her healing, by saying, “If I just can touch the hem of his garment.” Be obedient as Naaman was obedient to be healed of leprosy by following instructions. Rely on the certainty of God's power and promise to send his word. Trust the servants of God. The greatest of faith is simple. The goodness of God is like the sun that shines on the just, and the unjust. You may feel that you do not deserve to be blessed, but you can receive blessings by simply accepting in faith that God is ever shining and sending his word. The centurion was not all that he should be, but his simple faith was demonstrated to be greater than all the faith found in Israel. Accept the rich blessings of God in your life with gratefulness and thankfulness. Read the 135th Psalm this month.

Most of your circumstances have been like walking through mud. However you still prevailed, and now you are entering a new season; a new state of existence is being prepared for you to attain. Wash away the stains from your heart and mind. Wash away the stains left from muddy experiences. Clear out your heart and mind of those former incidents and troubling individuals who failed in their attempt to hinder and debase you. Renew your life and dismiss the images of those adverse experiences. There are individuals that will enter your life, and thereby create positive changes for you. Use this time to set new goals, rather than ponder these negative experiences of the past. Design plans to obtain the goals. Focus and decree the things that you want to have and manifest. Be thankful for the assignments you will be offered. You should use your imagination to create things in a unique and interesting way. Focus on obtaining positive results. Use the strength of your imagination to create better outcomes. Your life is a budding tree. You will come to realize that some of the buds will unfold beautiful flowers. Other buds will unfold luscious fruit. Chase your disappointments out of your imagination, to make room for the new manifestations, and coming increase. Do not get annoyed by the unkindness and jealousy of others. Such ones are speaking and behaving from the lower self. A treasurable relationship is unfolding. Be gracious and thankful. Read the 37th Psalm this month.

Catering to your physical body will lead you deeper into the traps of the mundane material life. It is not good to become a puppet to your senses and the ignoble desires of your senses. Body sensations must be managed and disciplined by your higher aspirations and your higher active will. You are not your body. You are not to let your body be regarded as the master of how you feel and what you think. Use your higher imagination directed by wisdom and love to create your circumstances and existence. Take care of your body, as if it were a prize racehorse, but maintain the reins of control. Develop your mind by thinking noble ideas. Teach and direct your mind to recognize the principles of life that need to be focused upon, because they improve your character and your circumstances. Direct your mind with enthusiasm. Concentration will aid you in improving and expanding your mental capabilities and your mental capacity. Increase your meditation. Each week increase the time period of your meditation. Small increments of time will aid you in developing your ability to concentrate and strengthen your mind and will. Place positive images before you, not to worship but as channels of positive thoughts and positive energies. Set your daily meditation period at an established time. Enjoy your meditation sessions. Organize your meditation exercises. Your meditation period should have an agenda for each day. Use your meditation to visualize and perceive health, happiness, harmony, and holiness for yourself.  Read the 113th Psalm.
