Lift Up Mine Eyes by Janet Lynas

In the last post, we talked about the seven whatsoever checks. Did you fill them out? Have you thought about them on a serious level?

The second day we look at: Thy Kingdom Come in Earth as it is in Heaven

Mr. Clark asks an interesting question, “What is the Kingdom of Heaven?” He goes on to say that the Lord’s Prayer is a definite request for this Kingdom to come into manifestation within our lives here and now, while living on this earth.

What if earth… Be but the shadow of Heaven, and things therein … Each to the other like, more than on earth is thought. Pg 22

What if earth is a shadow of heaven? Do you think that possibly there may be more heaven on earth than we think? Do you think that if we focused on the heaven part of earth, that possibly there would be less of the negative and violence on earth?

Jesus told us that the Kingdom of God is within you. That would mean that it is a state of consciousness.

Mr. Clark would be considered a New Age thinker when he talks about having inner happiness and harmony that are so real, they simply had to manifest in outer love and harmony. Have you found yourself with the person you wanted to be with and they you? If so, then you have experienced a foretaste of heaven. It’s the same thing when you experience perfect timing, when you are talking to someone and the right words come at the right and in the right sequence and perfect order.

Think about the seven Whatsoever prayers, if these are all answered eternally and continually, including your soul’s sincere desire, then you would be living in heaven. You would have a heavenly creation all around you and for others to live in as well.

We were given three Anything blank checks as well. Let’s take a look at them.

Grant me, Father, the power to love everyone and everything. “If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it” (John 14:14).
Grant me, Father, the capacity to see everything as intensely and ecstatically beautiful. “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:19).
Grant to me, Father, the ability to see infinite value and importance in everything that God has made. “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will He hearth us” (I John 5:14).

Prayer

“Our heavenly Father, make us unresisting instruments fo helping to bring Thy Kingdom of Heaven, in all its love and beauty and harmony.” pg 24

Can you see how the Lord’s Pray can help us align our conscious and subconscious minds? Once this happens, then nothing and I repeat nothing can stop us.

Mind/Spirit Connection part 2 by Janet Lynas

Jesus said, “Ye, if ye have faith, though it be even as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall ask what ye will; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

From our mouth comes the thoughts of the conscious mind, but only the heart speaks the thoughts of our subconscious mind. When the mouth and the heart are in alignment, when they track true, then nothing is impossible.

I think the best way for us to see how the conscious and subconscious minds can change our lives once they are in alignment, is by looking at the Lord’s Pray for the application.

Mr. Clark talks about Jesus leaving us 10 blank checks, with 7 of them being “whatsoever” checks that we can write in what we need or want. Let’s take a look at the 7 “whatsoever” checks. In the blank line write in your name.

Pay to the order of ______________________ (your name) I pray for Thy spirit to enter me and fill me completely. “Therefore I say unto you what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of ______________________________(your name) I pray for Thy kingdom to come, in earth as it is in heaven. “And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” (John 14:13). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of _________________________________(your name) I pray for my will to become completely and utterly Thy will. “Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you” (John 16:23). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of _________________________________(your name) I pray for my actual needs to be met by the right supply, in the right way and at the right time. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight” (I John 3:22). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of ___________________________________(your name) I pray for the right persons to come into my life, at the right time and in the right way. “And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him” (I John 5:15). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of __________________________________(your name) I pray for the right ideas to come to me in perfect sequence and in perfect order, in the right time and in the right way. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you….that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you” (John 15:16). In the name of Jesus.
Pay to the order of ________________________________(your name) I pray for my deepest soul’s sincere desire to be fulfilled in the right time and in the right way. “But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee” (John 11:22). In the name of Jesus.

Now look at your list. If this list were fulfilled would you have heaven on earth? Are you asking for to much? No, there is abundance in the universe and there is no limit to the resources of Creator God.

1st Day Meditation As the rain comes down and waters the earth, and makes the seed spring forth, and provides food to the body: so shall My word go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to Me void,but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where I sent it (Isa. 55: 10-11 paraphrased). Recommended reading Psalms 8.

Prayer Our Father Who are in Heaven, forgive us for our failure to honor You as we should. Help us to honor You Name, and honor Your Message, and trust Your Word even as the raindrop trusts itself to the sun, and the river gives itself to the sea. Amen.

We will look at the 3 anything checks in the next posting and then we will look at how this ties into the Lord’s Prayer.

Mind & Spirit Connection

There is a book I read when I was in my 20’s. The book is “I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes” by Glenn Clark. The book was out of print when I ordered it, but I’m sure you can get it. It was published by Harper & Row, Publishers in 1937. I recommend the book highly.

I will take sections from this book and talk about them and I will note what page I have taken the section from at the end of the quote.

“As the feet of the hind are to the mountains, so is the mind of man to the heights of life; and as the rear feet of the hind are to the front feet, so is the subconscious mind of man to the conscious mind.” pg 11

Can you see where I’m going with this? Conscious mind/subconscious mind, hypnosis – Spirituality, I will connect the dots to Natural Health and Nutrition in with this discussion in those sections of the blog.

I guess I should start by explaining what a hind is for those of you who are not nature folks. A hind is a mountain deer that lives on treacherous mountain rages. When the hind is walking in these treacherous areas, their back hoof has to track precisely with the front hoof or the hind will fall off the mountain to its death.

So, what does the hind have to do with people and the conscious mind and the subconscious mind?

The hind that has the most perfect correlation between its front feet and its rear feet is the surest to reach the mountain top in safety, so the person who has the most perfect correlation between their conscious mind and their subconscious mind is the surest to reach the heights of life.

The lips speak the thoughts of our conscious mind, but the heart speaks the thoughts of our subconscious mind. When the lips and the heart are in alignment, when they are truly tracking together with the absolute certainty that the rear feet of the deer track with the front feet, then nothing is impossible.

So, how do we align our conscious mind with our subconscious mind? Stay tuned in and you will learn.

Contrary to belief, the conscious mind is not in charge, it’s the subconscious mind or in some cultures the heart.

January 9, 2018 Spirituality

Spirituality is defined; as of, relating to, or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Is there a connection between the mind and the spirit? Can one affect the other? Can you see the spirit?

Most of us seek to know God, but do we seek to be known by God? There is a difference. We can know a good deal about God without having much knowledge of God. We become intrenched in the theology of our religion, we can quote Bible verse, we know the history of our religion, and we can talk our way through any discussion on God, but is that really knowing God?

How do we know God? The first step in knowing God is to realize the deception in our relationship with God. The lie that has been told for eons, the lie of separation. We are taught that we are separate from God, that He is out there in the universe or heaven. We are taught that He is a separate being from us who sits in judgement of each deed we do and each thought we have. But what happens when the veil of deception is removed? We learn that we are not separate from God, but that we are of God. We are told that we are made in the image of God and if this is true, then how can we be separated from God?

Lots of questions right? We will see in this section how the mind/body and spirit are tied together and how one affects the other. If one is out of balance, how it affects the other parts.

Science has conducted research through the years to find tangible proof of the spirit. People have been weighed just before their death and then afterwards. The results revealed that the body did indeed weigh less after death than just before death. Not real proof that there is a spirit. The most convincing evidence of the spirit is the reports from people who have had near death experiences and who were brought back from the dead. Yes, man can bring one back from the dead. Modern science has given mankind the ability to do just that.

I have been a nurse for many years and I have been with many people through the years as they died. I was nineteen when I saw my first death and couldn’t understand what I had just seen. You see, I saw the spirit leave the body of my patient. I have seen the spirit leave the body on many occasions and I have often wonder about what I witnessed each time. At one point, I was a hospice nurse for three years and I enjoyed the privilege of comforting patients and their families and helping them through this transition in life. I have learned a lot from my patients through the years.

So, what are your thoughts on what the spirit is?
