April 27 – Seeing Christ
I am beside you. Can you not feel My Presence?
Contact with Me is not gained by the senses. Spirit-consciousness replaces sight.
When man sees Me with his human sight it does not mean of necessity that his spiritual perception is greater. Nay, rather that for that soul I have to span the physical and the spiritual with a spiritual vision clear to human eyes.
Remember this to cheer My disciples who have never seen Me, and yet have had a clear spiritual consciousness of Me.
“And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” Exodus 33:14
Bear One Another’s Burdens

March 9 – Bear One Another’s Burdens
Do not judge of another’s capacity by your own.
If the burden another bears presses too heavily, what matter that you could bear that load lightly?
You must learn of Me to judge of the sorrow or strain of another, not with a feeling of superiority, but with one of humble thankfulness.
Would not your burdens have seemed light to Me? But insofar as they pressed heavily upon you so did I judge of them.
That which tore your heart may seem light to another.
Truly I said — Judge not. Only to God can the heart of man be made plain.
Seek My Presence, not only that you may understand Me, but that you may gain the insight to understand more clearly My other children.
The Key To Holiness

March 4 – Key to Holiness
Draw near to Me, my children. Contact with Me is the panacea for all ills.
Remember that Truth is many-sided. Have much tender Love and Patience for all who do not see as you do.
The elimination of self is the key to holiness and happiness, and can only be accomplished with My help. Study My life more. Live in My Presence. Worship Me.
I said in Gethsemane, “If it be possible let this cup pass.” I did NOT say that there was no cup of sorrow to drink. I was scourged and spat upon and nailed to the Cross, and I said, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
I did NOT say that they did not do it. When My disciple, Peter, urged Me to escape the Cross, I said, “Get thee behind Me, Satan.”
When My disciples failed to help the epileptic boy, I said, “This kind cometh not out but by Prayer and Fasting.” I did NOT say, “You imagined that he was ill. Nothing is wrong.”
When the Bible says, “God has purer eyes than to behold evil,” it means to impute evil to His people. He always sees the good in people, but remember that I “beheld the city, and wept over it.”
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” – Luke 9:23
Spirit sounds

February 27 – Spirit Sounds
Take time for prayer. Take more time to be alone with Me. So only will you prosper.
Realize that the hearing of Spirit Sounds is more than the hearing of all earth’s noises. I am with you. Let that content you, nay, more, let that fill you with rapture.
Seek sometimes not even to hear Me. Seek a silence of spirit-understanding with Me. Be not afraid. All is well. Dwell much on what I did, as well as what I said.
Remember, I “touched her hand, and the fever left her.” Not many words, just a moment’s contact and all fever left her. She was well, whole, calm, able to arise and “minister unto them.”
My touch is still a potent healer. Just feel that touch. Since My Presence, and the fever of work and care and fear just melts into nothingness — and health, joy, peace, take its place.
“For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” Matthew 9:21
Meet Me Every Where

February 12 – Meet Me Everywhere
Life is really consciousness of Me.
Have no fear. A very beautiful future lies before you. Let it be a new life, a new existence, in which in every single happening, event, plan, you are conscious of Me.
“And this is Life Eternal, that we might know Thee, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.”
Get this ever-consciousness and you have Eternal Life — the Life of the Ages. Be in all things led by the Spirit of God and trust Me in all. And the consciousness of Me must bring Joy. Give Me not only trust but gladness.
“For as many as our led by the Spirit of God,
they are the Sons of God.” Romans 8:14
You Shall Know

February 5 – You Shall Know
Walk with Me. I will teach you. Listen to Me and I will speak. Continue to meet Me, in spite of all opposition and every obstacle, in spite of the days when you may hear no voice, and there may come no intimate heart-to-heart telling.
As you persist in this, and make a life-habit of it, in many marvelous ways I will reveal My will to you. You shall have more sure knowing of both the present and the future. But that will be only the reward of the regular coming to meet Me.
Life is a school. There are many teachers. Not to everyone do I come personally. Believe literally that the problems and difficulties of your lives can be explained by Me more clearly and effectually than by any other.
“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:17
Keep Calm
Posted by Bassem W in God Calling on January 26, 2009
Keep your Spirit-Life calm and unruffled. Nothing else matters. Leave all to Me. This is your great task, to get calm in My Presence, not to let one ruffled feeling stay for one moment. Years of blessing may be checked in one moment by that.
No matter who frets you or what, yours is the task to stop all else until absolute calm comes. Any block means My Power diverted into other channels.
Pour forth – pour forth – pour forth – I cannot bless a life that does not act as a channel. My Spirit brooks no stagnation, not even in rest. Its Power must flow on. Pass on everything, every blessing. Abide in Me.
See how many you can bless each day. Dwell much in My Presence.
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” – Proverbs 4:23How Power comes

January 23 – How Power Comes
Learn to shut yourself away in My Presence.
Lord, Thou art our Refuge. Our God, in Thee do we trust. O Master, come and talk with us.
All power is given unto Me. It is Mine to give, Mine to withhold, but even I have to acknowledge that I cannot withhold it from the soul that dwells near Me, because it is then not a gift, but passes insensibly from Me to My disciples.
It is breathed in by the soul who lives in My Presence.
Learn to shut yourself away in My Presence – and then, without speaking, you have those things you desire of Me, Strength – Power – Joy – Riches.
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” – Psalm 91:1
Feeling God !!
Posted by Bassem W in God Calling, Human spirit :), Religion on December 29, 2008
hi there, i guess that many of us wish to feel God’s presence, to have a materialistic touch, some wish it to believe in God, some wish it to face their doubts, some wish it to feel safe, or to feel that we are in the right pass , me ,myself maybe have wished all of this , any ways this is the answer from God himself .
from the book God calling
December 28 – Signs and Feelings
[Our Lord, Thou art here. Let us feel Thy nearness.]
I am here. Do not need feeling too much. To ask for feeling too much is to ask for a sign, and then the answer is the same as that I gave when on earth. “There shall no sign be given but the sign of the prophet Jonah. . . . For as Jonah was three days and three nights . . . so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Veiled from sight to the unbeliever. To the believer the veiling is only temporary, to be followed by a glorious Resurrection. . . .
What does it matter what you feel? What matters is what I am, was, and ever shall be to you — A Risen Lord. . . . the feeling that I am with you may depend upon any passing mood of yours — upon a change of circumstances, upon a mere trifle.
I am uninfluenced by circumstances. . . . My Promise given is kept. I am here, one with you in tender loving friendship.
“Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.” Psalm 119:151
———————
in my opinion, God is removing all the doubts, he is telling us that his existence in our life , in our heart and mind, shouldn’t depend on our feelings, one day you feel God one day you don’t, God is more than that, he is telling us I am here, always here for you, even if you don’t feel it, don’t let something temporary or something that can come and goes decides your faith, just believe it from your heart that I am here , believe me ,even if everything else even your feelings ,thoughts and mind are telling you that I am not here.
