style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, most certainly, it is far more than
just saying the words.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is one
thing to say you ‘will do God’s Will,’ and it is quite another to “will to do
God’s Will.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How do you know when
God’s Will is being expressed in your life?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is perhaps the most perplexing
element for agondonters, to know without certainty, to know without proof, to
know without demonstration, to know without explanation from one who does
know—truly does know—the way of God.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As agondonters, you must submit your will to God, and “will to do God’s
Will.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The difficulty lies for
many, particularly in the Western World, where you have been taught how to
express your will to get things done, that you hear the phrase sometimes, “My
way or the highway.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And
oftentimes, this can be the opposite of what God’s Will is for your life.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoBodyTextIndent> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoBodyTextIndent>It does not mean being
passive in life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It means to be
actively humble, open to being led.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>When you pray to God to do God’s work and God’s Will, and you will to do
that, you might as well also ask your Guardian Angel and your teachers to show
you opportunities to lead your forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>When opportunity arrives, then you say “yes” to it and begin to explore
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Explore it as far as you can
go, and then if it terminates, then you, so to speak, back out of that and try
another opportunity or wait for an opportunity.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoBodyTextIndent> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoBodyTextIndent>More perplexing than
this, is when opportunity comes as a denial of the way forward in what you were
doing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If your landlord asks you to
move, see this as an opportunity, rather than a begrudging inconvenience.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>See it as an opportunity to explore a
new residence situation where you might make new friends and have a better
social life, a better living situation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

the situation you would like to have for your life be in thirty years?<SPAN

life as Jesus lived his, you live it very simply.<SPAN

intermingle with children, even before the arrival of their Thought
Adjuster.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It approaches more
actively in their lives as the Thought Adjuster becomes present, as there
creates a spiritual energetic dynamic in their mind to help them make correct
decisions, life-giving decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, there is much that adults can do
with their children and that is to assist them in examining moral situations of
right and wrong.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Children can
oftentimes learn vicariously and even through language, instruction about making
moral decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Parents do not
have to wait for actual experience to point out moral decisions, and which are
the best decisions and correct decisions, moral decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There can be much to do ahead of time
with that, and as well, it is important for parents to point out to children of
that age that there is the Spirit of Truth that can guide them in making
decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Spirit of Truth is
here to assist them, even when they do not ask.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When they do ask, then it becomes much
more powerful in its influence in this young mind.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Given the fact through discussion about
the problem of fearing God, I guess that for years I have been reluctant to
spend time reading the Old Testament.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I’d like to ask you if there are things to be gained from reading about
man’s fear of God in some of the disastrous things that people thought God was
instructing them to do.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Maybe
that’s not very clear….but</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is sufficient.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Old Testament was simply that—the
old covenant, the old agreement between God and mankind, and mankind’s chore at
that time was to learn that God was existent in their lives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And they believed in the duality of God,
which is, as you know, erroneous.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They feared the harmful side of God’s wrath and God’s Will in their life,
and so they feared God and feared for doing wrong in their lives, that they
would be visited with disaster in their lives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The New Testament is a new covenant that
was forged by Jesus in his lifetime, and the fear of God is no longer useful to
train people to become moral individuals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Rather it is through the emulation of Jesus’ life in their life, to take
on the decision-making processes of sharing love that Jesus shared in his life,
to come to know God through love.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Fear is no longer supported in this new era.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your duty, your work, your self-assigned
chores are to learn to love yourself and to learn to love others, because this
is the example that Jesus demonstrated in his life, of his Father, God.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Jesus did not fear God and Jesus did not
require you to fear God, but to love God.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Fear leads to duality in people’s thinking; it is now time for people to
think in much broader parameters than duality—that was in the old era, not in
the new.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
