Our gratitude goes out to those who carry our Mission forward, those who host

fellowship, those who minister and spread the good news. You each play an

gratitude to our beloved Father and His perfectly organized universe. While the
world appears to be in constant chaos, those who chose to live a life in the
spirit will take comfort in knowing Father knows everything, and all is well
looked after and attended to. This evening we will speak a few more words on the
subject of peace.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Most inner turmoil that
individuals have stems from the feeling of being out of control, or controlled
by someone or something else. Life is busy and so it should be. You should be
diligent in your life activities, but always is there a balance to be mindful
of. Of course, you must work to support your material life. Of course, you must
take time for children and the family life. There is always something that
motivates you to stay ahead of the game.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Anxiety comes when you are
feeling overwhelmed and behind. Anxiety comes when there is not effort put forth
toward maintaining balance. Of course, you have your material responsibilities,
but to neglect the spiritual is an invitation to inner turmoil. The challenge of
mortal living is to grow ever closer toward God, to be like God and to maintain
a human and divine life.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Many say, ‘I could be more
likely to be more God-like should I not have to spend so much time working.’
Employment is fertile ground in which to practice your spiritual ministry. You
can view your place of employment as you share a common burden with other
individuals or you work as a family toward a common goal, a common
good.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">You can view your
employment as something that controls you and takes from you, or you can view it
as something that provides for you and your family on many levels. Of course,
Father would never want you to be employed at something you dislike terribly,
no. This situation would call for you to be active in seeking other avenues,
other opportunities, yes.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

life which many times appears to be a place of chaos instead of a place of
peace, especially in this day and age where there are so many single parents,
blended families, cultural and societal influences. There is a great deal of
issues to attend to. Many individuals live in somewhat toxic relationships and
no, Father would not have you put forth your best effort year after year only to
meet with misery, and continue to stay in the toxic relationship. Again, this
would be your choice to be active to find other
avenues.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Mortal life has many areas
that could be a breeding ground for stress and of course, this affects the mind,
body and spirit. Should you desire peace then you should work toward it. You can
maintain a certain amount of control and order in your life. You need not be
overwhelmed to the point that you feel controlled by your life circumstances.
You have power; you have intelligence, but best of all, you have Father. You are
not alone. He does not seek to challenge you to see how much you can take before
you break, no.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

would agree that it is the way it is because of the choices you have made. Of
course, there are exceptions, but for the most part you have made your life what
it is. You have control to a great degree and you can create inner peace and
mindal clarity. You must remember that all worldly circumstances are working
toward an ultimate good.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Be aware to keep worldly
issues at an intellectual level. Do not personalize it to the point that you
have moved from the intellect to being paralyzed emotionally--also the same goes
for friends, family, coworkers and acquaintances. Their lives are not yours. You
are a part of their life, but to worry yourself to the point of anxiety is to
sever that God-connection, which would certainly give aid to those you have
concern for. Forget not that God is many things, but above all else, He is
intelligent.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

those troubled aspects of your life that continue to cause you unrest. Simplify

lighthearted attitude while she is here and have not worry about the deeper

finding that again. Is this helping? (Yes. Thank

come from the Father. Is that your question? (What source does it come from?)
Man, of course. The war is wholly mans choice. There are universal laws to be
followed or there will be repercussions. On an experimental evolutionary planet
such as yours there indeed needs to be majority of agreed upon laws for there to
be world peace. Absolutely. This world peace does indeed come with a price. As
the world moves closer to the stages of Light and Life the understanding will be
made clear, and individuals will not seek to be superior and all-powerful. There
will be that inner knowing that all are children of God, and all are deserving
of a fair mortal life. It is entirely mans choice to war. I however believe that
this planet is working toward its highest and best good. The majority of
individuals seek for the well-being of the whole. It is just a small percentage
of people who seek the greater self-glory at the expense of others. Is this
answering? (Yes. Thank you.) You’re welcome. Good question. One more
question.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

and every individual to decide with their own free will choice. The Fragment of
Father is bestowed to every normal minded individual. That is what will guide
you toward light. The understanding of evil versus good does indeed come with
time and experience. A small child cannot expect to understand the larger
concepts of light and dark, but indeed from the mind-set of where he is, even he
knows bad and good. All are with free will. It is the individual’s own choosing
to know good and evil for themselves. If you have not experienced evil, how
could you know good? I do believe the Internal Father, time and experience, will
be the best teacher. Is this helping? (Yes. Thank you.) You’re welcome. Good
