<P>MEETING WITH ABRAHAM -- <U>WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS THERE IS
LIBERTY</P></U>
<P><FONT size=3>AUGUST 29, 1999</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>WOODS CROSS GROUP</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. It is so apparent that the Spirit
dwells among you, yes. You are allowing and that is creating liberty. <U>Where
the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty</U>, yes. As these weeks go by it is
becoming more obvious who you are serving. This dedication is indeed life
changing, growth promoting, at times-confusing. You are seeing strength in
yourself where it was not before. You are feeling on a more deeper
level.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>In your efforts to answer the question of "whom do you
serve?" you are receiving such spiritual rejuvenation. You are inviting
Michael to walk before you. You are committing to be as the little child, open
and with true humility. <U>Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is</U>
<U>liberty</U>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>In your commitment to serving the First Source and Center you
have invited God in on a personal and intimate level. Your closeness with Him
creates a sense of well-being, balance, and freedom. The sense of unfulfillment
or emptiness goes from you. The worries and fears of loss or loneliness
dissipate, for His presence has brought you liberty. Father’s presence has
brought you comfort in knowing your true source of origin, and you are indeed
endowed with power from on High.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>I do not dangle these truths as carrots to entice those who
would perceive the spiritual life halfheartedly, no. I mean to share these
truths with you who have already expressed in your daily lives the answer to the
question of "whom do you serve?" Those habits you perceive as
weaknesses or unhealthy attachments become small, for you are liberated by the
Spirit. You are strengthened by the Source of all that is true, beautiful and
good, yes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>Those daily material fulfillment’s you seek become as
though they had never been when you are serving the one true Source of all that
is soulfully fulfilling. Those individuals that had made you to fear should you
lose their love become looked upon as ‘mortal life experiences.’
Mortal life experiences are meaningful in that they can teach you spiritual
values, but these experiences are only in passing, only temporary. They cannot
make nor break you.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>You begin to relinquish your ties to individuals in favor of
allowing life experience to simply unfold. You fear not loss, for the Source of
all fulfillment has been invited in. You can see to serve things or people in
mortal life is, in a manner of speaking, enslavement. I say if you fear loss
should you not serve these mortal things in an adequate manner, then this is a
negative definition of service. This is enslaving you, captivating your energy
or attention, taking the focus off the Kingdom of Heaven causing you to feel the
unfulfilling emptiness that plagues so many individuals.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>When you have answered without doubt the question of "whom
do you serve?" and your answer is clearly Father, the First Source and
Center, then are you endowed with liberty, strength and confidence to live your
life as a reflection of the Master, Himself. How much more can you be of service
to your fellows when you are without fear of loss, without the burden of worry,
knowing full well you receive all you need from Him, who has laid out the
universes and dwelt within every square inch of them. We are in Him and He in
us. There cannot be more cause for worshipful rejoicing than that.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>This week in your practice of being the little child, with
allowing openness and true humility, note what Father has to show you. Be not
surprise at the strength within, be not surprised at the dissipation of fear and
feelings of unfulfillment. Be aware of that <U>where the Spirit of the Lord is
there is liberty</U>. My love is with you. Until next week,
shalom.</FONT></P></FONT><FONT size=3></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
