Chapter 5, Verse 3 Chapter 5, Verse 3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The poor in spirit are those who are poor in the spirit of love. Fret not that you have sought treasure in the world and invested wrongly. But to see value in the true treasure, or the spirit of love, you must understand the value of love and want it. You can only understand the importance of the spirit of love by sowing your wild oats in the world, such as condemnation and judgement. Then like the prodigal son, you will see that there has to be a better way of living. Then and only then have you made your own free choice to follow God's spirit of love. You have not been forced to do this by the world's spirit of fear or guilt. You do this out of love as you know that treasure is not found in the world of fear, guilt, and attack.

Then you come home to your Father's house, or the kingdom of Heaven within you, to seek the treasure that cannot be taken from you or cause you pain. You learn the way of love and forgiveness. You learn to see God in all, and everyone as God's child no matter how blind to his reality he is.

Love, forgive, and be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Love sets free, and fear binds. Perfect love casts out all fear. Come, enter into the strait gate of forgiveness, to the love, peace, and world of your Father. This world of your Father is spirit. Your Father is spirit and seeks those who worship him to worship him in spirit and truth. Talk to your Father, and listen for his still, small voice. The world operates from a spirit of fear, but God is the spirit of love. They are opposites. See only God and love, and the perfect love of God will cast out all your fears, releasing you to the love of God forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 4 Chapter 5, Verse 4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Cry your tears of despair, but then know that the answer to your problem is coming. Ask me for answers, and I will answer whatever problem you bring to me. I will answer you with the truth of your being, which is changeless and eternal and not part of the world. I will show you the way to leave the world of pain and suffering behind, to experience the peace, love, and happiness of the kingdom of spirit and God within.

When you are finally ready to see the better way and realize that there is a problem that needs to be healed, I will gently guide you unto the teacher of teachers, the Holy Spirit. He will give you the answer to your problem that will heal all and keep you in perfect peace and love. You can give up pain and suffering. You do not have to keep it. Blessed are you when you are so fed up with the world's ways of attack and fear that you are willing to give them up for the ways of spirit, or love and forgiveness for all.

Yes, you may mourn for a while, but know that comfort is just a breath away. Leave the world and its attack and judgements, and transcend to God's world of divine, unconditional love. It is waiting for you when you choose to come. Mourn no more. Your salvation is here. The path of love and forgiveness leads only to God, while the path of fear and attack leads to more pain, suffering, and mourning. Blessed are you when you can see this, for then you can transcend the world of fear and judgement to a life of spirit, love, peace, happiness, and abundant good forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 5 Chapter 5, Verse 5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

The meek shall inherit the earth and all God's good, as they love and forgive and do not attack, condemn, or judge God's creation. When you do not judge, you cannot be judged. When you do not condemn, you cannot be condemned. Attack brings attack. Love and forgiveness brings love and forgiveness.

To inherit the kingdom of Heaven, you must love and forgive. I have provided the example to follow, so love your brothers. Do good to them who hate you and despitefully use you that you may be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

What credit can you claim if you love only those who love you. Everyone in the world of ego loves this way. You are to love with divine, unconditional love. You are to be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

To love with divine love, you must be reborn of spirit and listen to the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction. With your willingness to love unconditionally and the Holy Spirit's power, you can do anything. In yourself you can do nothing, it is the Father within that does the works and enables you to do the impossible when you trust in him completely.

Love and forgive like your Father in Heaven. Live a life in spirit devoted only to the Father's world of love, not the world's world of attack and fear. Rise above the world of fear. I can help you. Remember I said that in the world you will have tribulation but fear not for I have overcome the world of fear. Through my Christ strength within, you can transcend the world of fear, judgement, and attack, and live in God's world of love and forgiveness forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 6 Chapter 5, Verse 6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

The people who hunger and thirst after righteousness are those who want it badly enough to change their minds about the world and its purpose. God knows a sincere heart that really wants to know only the truth. As long as men find value in the world of fear, judgement, and condemnation, they will not see the value of changing their thinking to God's.

When you call on God for the answer to life, happiness, and love, He will answer. No soul who seeks God in truth will seek long without finding Him. God is the bread of which you eat and the water of which you drink that leads to no more hungering or thirsting for knowledge. You know and you know that you know the truth. God fills your life with peace that the world does not understand, as the world lives in fear and attack, not love and forgiveness.

Love and forgiveness are the open door to God's peace. You must see love and forgiveness through the eyes of the Christ within you. Seek righteousness and truth, and you will find them. Knock with love and forgiveness, and the door of truth will be opened to you. You cannot seek God in earnest without finding Him. Seek only God, love and forgive all your brothers, and you will enter into the kingdom of Heaven your Father has prepared for you.

Leave the world of judgement, condemnation, and fear behind. Transcend to a life in spirit. You are spirit like your Father. Your Father, the Holy Spirit within, will guide you to all happiness, peace, and love. He will instruct you and lead you to the truth that will set you free from the world of fear. Love, forgive, and unite your Christ will with your Father for creation in love. Your Father will work through you in love and create a new spirit of love and understanding for all His sons. God is love, and he can be reached by love. You are love, so give love and receive love, and know God's perfect love forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 7 Chapter 5, Verse 7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

What you give you only give to yourself. If you give mercy, love, and forgiveness to your brothers, you do it unto yourself. You are one with your brothers in spirit, so you cannot give to them without giving the same thing to yourself.

Give of the fruits of the spirit--love, joy, peace, gentleness--and these will be measured back to you in bounteous measure. You cannot outgive God. When you give and do all things in the spirit of love, you unite your will with your Father's in loving creation. You think as your Father thinks and love as He loves. You are perfectly joined to your Father in wholeness and perfection.

The spirit of your Father works through the channel of your love to help, heal, and love His children. There is nothing you cannot have or do in love. Love is salvation and is of God. Love has no limits and is infinite and eternal. God's love loves unconditionally all that is, and sees beauty and purity everywhere.

Give only love and mercy, and dwell in the Father's kingdom of love and mercy forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 8 Chapter 5, Verse 8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

My child, the pure in heart are innocent. They believe in love and forgiveness and choose not to hold a grievance against their brother lost in fear. They pure in heart see through the appearances of attack and fear to the confusion that lies underneath. They see their brothers calling out for help in distress and perplexity and respond in love. They love, forgive, and give all situations that seem hopeless in men's eyes to Me. I deal in the impossible. My wisdom transcends the wisdom of men. I look on the heart and can heal the cause so that the effects will vanish. Until causes are healed, effects will stay.

Give all appearances to Me, and know I go beyond appearances to the truth of man's being. I see beyond all appearances of the flesh to the loving, sinless, Christ child that has been born in all My children. My children must identify and know themselves as loving and limitless. They must believe in themselves as the Christ and know that they are the love of their Father expressed to the world. My children must know that I work through them to love and heal all creation.

The pure in heart will see Me, as they will live the life of only love and forgiveness and give all their burdens to Me. I will release all their burdens and heal all minds. Love and purity will reign supreme.

Life is an identity crisis. You must realize you are love before you can act in love. You must become one with love--your true self--Me, and all your brothers again. The memory of your oneness will return to your awareness as you love and forgive. Give love and peace, and know the reality of this in your life.

Love is purity and innocence. The pure in heart will see God, as they have become one with Him again in their will of love and forgiveness. They see and know God as being everywhere and in everything. They trust Him for all their good and everything in their life. The pure in heart see love, not fear, and abide in the constant communion of Father and son in love and spirit forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 9 Chapter 5, Verse 9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

The peacemakers are out to bring peace to all. They do this by their infinite, unconditional love and forgiveness. The peacemakers do not attack or hurt others. They love, accept, and give understanding to all the unhappy, confused people around them. They shine their bright light of love forth to heal all minds in distress and bring all minds back home to the peace that only God can give them.

The peacemakers are called God's children, as they give peace. They do nothing of themselves, but by giving peace, let their Father work through them to do all the works of love, peace, and and healing. The peacemakers are guided and directed by God's voice within. They do as their Father does and are perfect in love, peace, happiness, and joy. The peacemakers give peace to others, as God has given this to them freely and in abundance. They will only for all the peace that their Father has given to them.

Peace is given by God to His whole creation, as they allow themselves to be a channel for His peace. Peace comes not from them, but flows through them from God to His creation.

Blessed are the peacemakers, as they are the loving, forgiving, accepting channels of their Father, extending their Father's love to all His children. They are one with all creation and their Father in peace and love now and forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 10 Chapter 5, Verse 10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Fret not when people understand you not and feel threatened by you. They may say false things to you and about you, but know that what they do cannot hurt you. They hurt but themselves. Love them, and return not evil for evil, but return good for evil. Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Love and forgive, and know that people who persecute others do not know what they do. They live in fear and cannot see the truth of love. Love surrounds and protects you at all times.

Seek not the approval of men for what you do. Seek only the approval of God, for He is life, good, and love. This is all you need. You need not the esteem of men. Let them say and do what they want, then smile in love and forgiveness, and give all to God. Your brother is God's son, even if his dream of attack and fear has kept it from his awareness as yet.

Give love, not attack, for evil, and the kingdom of heaven is yours, My child. Always give love, as that is the only reality. When you give only love, you stay out of the dream of fear. You stay in the consciousness of spirit, communion, peace, and love forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 13 Chapter 5, Verse 13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

As the salt of the earth, you must season the world with your love and forgiveness. As the love of the world, if you give not love, how shall the world find love? Give, then, bountifully of your love and forgiveness, and be not trodden down in the darkness of attack and fear.

You are your Father's children and messengers in this world. Your Father works through you as a channel to love, forgive, and help His creation to find themselves again. Stumble no more in the darkness of fear and depression. Transcend the world of dark thoughts to the thoughts of light.

Unite your will with your Father in communion, and be the instrument that your Father can use to awaken His creation to His world of love. The Father is all you need in this world. Be perfect as your Father in heaven, and love and forgive all.

Transcend the world of judgement, condemnation, and pain to the world of spirit, love, peace, joy, and happiness. Your Father holds this out to you when you are ready to leave the world's attack thoughts behind and think love with God. Love is the only reality there is. Think love with God, and dwell in the kingdom of heaven forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 14-16 Chapter 5, Verses 14-16
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

All God's sons are the light of the world, even if many do not remember this. The light is in all, but many try to hide the light by judgements, condemnations, and fear. Hide not your light under clouds of judgement. Drop judgement, and let your light shine brightly so that God's love can manifest in your life.

When you live a life in judgement and fear, God's love is hid from you under bushels of greivances and pain. But this need not be. Love and forgive all, including yourself. Then all will see your unconditional, freeing love and know that this can only come from the Father.

The world loves partially, but God's love is not partial. God is love; He is always love. God gives; He never takes away. To learn God's way of love, be reborn of spirit and unite your holy will back with God. God will use you as a channel to extend His love and healing through you to all. God is the love that is within you. By yourself, you can do nothing. God does the works of love through you.

Love, forgive, seek God, and be reborn of spirit, and the power to love unconditionally will be given you. You will love as God does through the power of God in you. What God asks you to do, He gives you the power to do. Relax into His love and care, and the let the light of love shine forth brightly in you to heal the world. God loves and cares for all His children, so be the vessel of love that is devoted and dedicated only to the Father's work of love.

Leave behind the world's upside down perception of attack, hate, and judgement. Judge no one, and you will not be judged. Let the Father love His whole creation through you now and forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 17, 18 Chapter 5, Verses 17, 18
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

I came not to destroy the law that was given you by the prophets. I came to fulfill it. The law of the prophets is love. Love your brother as yourself. Know that your brother is yourself. You and your brother are one with God.

If you love and forgive always with divine love, you will hold no judgements or condemnations against anyone. The Lord is a God of mercy. You must be merciful to your brothers to be merciful to yourself. What you give or do to your brother, you do to yourself.

Love God with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Know that God is the life within you and the source of all your good and blessings. Become as little children, and depend on Him for everything in your life. God cares for you and wants only good to come to you. Make no decisions on your own, but in prayer and supplication, make all your needs known to the Lord. Thank Him for His many blessings here now and for those blessings which are manifesting in your life.

God is love, and all His children are love. You must love and forgive your brothers to find the love that you are and the love that created you. Till the states of heaven and earth pass, and only heaven is left, not one jot or tittle of the law of love shall pass till all God's sons are again awakened to their true selves as God's sons and are perfected in love.

Love and forgive, judge not, and you will be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. When you judge and condemn, you only reap what you sow. Sow judgement, and you reap judgement. Sow love, and reap love. Sow only love and forgiveness, and reap the fruits of love and forgiveness forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 19, 20 Chapter 5, Verses 19, 20
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

To really teach the commandments, you must live them. What good are words without action? Your life must show forth the love of God so that your good works glorify the Father in you. You teach by what you do. What you really believe comes out in your actions. You must let the Holy Spirit undo your errors of thought, and be reborn of spirit so that you will have the power to live the life of love that you talk about. Through the power of God in you, there is nothing you cannot do if you really want to. Be reborn of the spirit of love, and leave the spirit of fear and the world's thoughts behind.

Love and forgive all, be reborn of the spirit of love, and listen only to the voice of the Holy Spirit for direction and guidance to show you the way. He will lead you home to the love that you were created to be. To find the kingdom of heaven, you must be reborn of spirit and follow only the guidance of the still small voice, or the Father within you.

Your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. You must not just talk love and forgiveness, you must love and forgive all in your life. You must practice what you preach. You teach nothing but the ways of fear and judgment if you act not in love in your life. To teach love, give love in thought, word, and deed, and set the example for others to follow.

If you attack, condemn, and judge, then you teach the ways of fear, or attack, condemnation, and judgment. To teach love and forgiveness, love and forgive. Do what you say, and unite your holy will with your Father in love. Ask the Holy Spirit for the power to live the life of love. In yourself, you can do nothing. But with the help of the Father within, there is nothing you cannot do. Love, forgive, and unite your holy, perfect will as God's child with Him now and forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verse 22 Chapter 5, Verse 22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

I say unto you that there is no cause to be angry with your brother. When you judge, you only judge yourself with the same judgment. Let he who is without ego cast the first stone of biting judgment, or condemnation.

We all have egos that cause us fear or anger. No ego self is perfect. But you can love, forgive, and know that your brother is calling out for your love and help by his ego attacks. He calls out in his blindness and ignorance of God's love and the truth of his being. Your brothers in ego know not what they do.

Each biting judgment you think only throws you into the hell of your own making. The more you judge imperfection, the deeper in darkness you go until the light of God cannot be seen through all the clouds of judgment, condemnation, and grievances. But all this is unnecessary. The light, love, and memory of God your Father, your brothers, and yourself is waiting to be restored to your vision when you choose to be perfect as your Father in heaven, and love and forgive.

Love is the only way back to the remembrance of God. God is love, and those who see love will see Him. Love is of God, so love His creation, do not attack it, and stay in the light of God forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 23, 24 Chapter 5, Verses 23, 24
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

The altar is in your heart. To have the gift of love and communion with your Father, you must reconcile yourself to the truth, or the holiness and perfection of all creation.

There is no need to go to all your brothers ego to ego to ask for forgiveness unless you wish to. Ego involvement only leads to more ego judgments and condemnation. Go to your brothers spirit to spirit, and love and forgive them in your heart and mind. You will then be able to forgive yourself and open the channel for the light and love of God to come to you. God cannot come to you when your mind is full of confusion and grievances.

See only the holy, sinless sons of God, and you will receive God's holy judgment of perfection and love forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 25, 26 Chapter 5, Verses 25, 26
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Agree, make peace with, and love and forgive your brothers. Take up not the sword of judgement or you will die spiritually and be blind to the holy truth of God.

The kingdom of heaven can be seen only through loving, forgiving vision. For you to have your brother's mercy, you must give your mercy in love to all. What you give to your brothers is returned to you.

When you take up the sword of judgement and condemnation, and refuse to forgive, you are cast into the outer darkness of ego thoughts and hell and misery of your own making. You will stay in the hell of your own ego thoughts until you lay down your sword of judgement and love and forgive. Remember that when you judge, you only judge yourself.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors means that, as you forgive your brothers, so are you forgiven. It cannot be any other way. You are one with all God's creation in spirit, and what you believe about one part of creation, you will have to believe about yourself.

If you see one part of creation as not whole, then the vision of your wholeness is bound from your vision. But you need not stay this way. Love and forgive, choose to see only the Christ within, your true brother, who is spirit and one with you.

Choose to not look at the outer confusion and darkness of your brother's ego beliefs, which are due to ignorance of the truth. Choose to see only the perfection of all brothers, and give all to the holy spirit for healing.

You are the light of the world. Choose to see only the light within, and be not cast out in the darkness of ego thoughts and judgements. In love and forgiveness is your function, purpose, salvation, and peace now and forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 27, 28 Chapter 5, Verses 27, 28
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

It is only your thoughts that can hurt you. With your thoughts you bring into manifestation what you dwell on.

The tree is known by its fruit. If you dwell on evil thoughts, your mind and vision will be evil. If you dwell on holy, loving thoughts, your mind and vision will be pure.

The pure in heart will see God and find themselves as God's holy children. You cannot meddle in the world of false thoughts, judgements, and unloving thoughts, and have it no affect your life. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

You must watch your thoughts carefully. Give all unloving ego thoughts to the Holy Spirit to undo and purify. He will undo and purify all your ego thoughts and heal your mind to think like God thinks. This is the way to find the light and the kingdom of God. Light cannot come about by dark, unloving, judgemental, condemning thoughts. Love comes from loving, pure, peaceful, merciful thoughts that see sinlessness and God everywhere and in everything. God is manifesting Himself through His creation for the salvation of the world.

Cloud not your mind over with the thoughts of grievances, judgements, and darkness. Think only loving thoughts, and think only like your Father in heaven. Seek the Lord, your God and Father, with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and seek to love His kingdom as yourself. You and all your brothers are the kingdom of God. God's kingdom will come to know and remember themselves so that God's will of love and forgiveness will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Change your thinking to loving, pure thoughts, and change your life to the remembrance of God as your Father and yourself and your brothers as one. Behold only the Christ within, and you will change your remembrance to love as your reality and live in the love, trust, and beauty of the kingdom of heaven forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 29, 30 Chapter 5, Verses 29, 30
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Choose carefully the things you see. If something you see causes you fear and does not upbuild your mind in love and forgiveness, choose not to behold it any longer. Choose to behold only the loving realities and things about yourself, your brothers, and your world.

When you choose to behold only good, the Christ in all and God's spirit manifesting through all creation, you throw not yourself into the hell of negative thoughts, fears, anxieties, and depressions. Think only love, and behold the world of love and peace before you.

If there are things that you do in your life that cause you pain, stop doing them. Why keep doing things that cause you only misery? It is important to remember to do all things through the power of the spirit of God and Christ within.

Do things in the power of spirit, love, peace, and forgiveness, and do not cause yourself the pain of all your condemnations, judgments, and fears.

Give up judgments, fears, and condemnations. Transcend from the world's way of doing and seeing things, and live in the spirit of love and forgiveness forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 31, 32 Chapter 5, Verses 31, 32
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

In the world of fear and separation, divorce is very common. People fall in and out of love, they think. But the world's love is specialness, where people love each other for what they can do for the other person or what the other person can do for them. They depend on the marriage partner, and love them because of certain attributes they desire in someone lovable.

God's love is unconditional. All are love, or it is not love. Some are not love, and some rejected. Love and forgive, and remember that all are your brothers, and all are one with you. Love without conditions as to the role your brother is to play in your life. Love gives the freedom to the beloved to act out the role the beloved must play for his salvation. Love frees, and specialness binds all to play the roles specified to meet with approval to be loved. Love all with God's unconditional freedom, and love as God does.

In heaven they marry not. No one particular person is special above another. All are close, loved, accepted, special, and one. No one is needed to fulfill or protect another. God is the love and fulfillment of all in happiness, joy, peace, and love forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 33-37 Chapter 5, Verses 33-37
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

I say unto you, take no oaths. Swear not to keep an oath, for you have not the power to keep it. In yourself you can do nothing. It is God living in and through you that does the works. You have no power on your own. God is all power, all strength, and will help you to change as you affirm what you want and deny what you do not want to be your reality. Love is your only reality. Fear and its manifestations are part of the dream of separation. Affirm positively, and know that your loving thoughts are your only reality. Deny the unloving thoughts to be your reality. Know that they are only part of the dream of fear. You are created in your Father's image. You are the spirit of love, not fear. Love is your only reality. Only thoughts of love have any power over you. Thoughts of the world of fear and attack can have no power over you if you give them not the power.

Do nothing on your own, as your only power comes from God. But you must think like God. Love, forgive, and think thoughts of happiness, joy, peace, abundance, harmony, and beauty. Eliminate all negative thinking. Supplant all negative thoughts by injecting positive thoughts to take their place. Leave not your mind a vacuum. Always fill it with thoughts of positive thinking to replace the old, worn out negative ones that are causing you pain.

Through God's power in you, you can become a newly awakened creation. You can remember, at last, after all the clouds of grievances and negative thoughts go, your real inheritance of the Christ spirit of love. Trust and depend only on God. He is the bread of life that will give you new life in the Christ spirit of love. You will join your holy Christ will of love with God your Father once more, and live in His world of happiness, peace, and love forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 38-42 Chapter 5, Verses 38-42
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Meet not attack with attack. Meet attack with love and forgiveness. When you attack another, you only attack yourself and cause yourself pain. Give as you would like to receive. Give only love, and you will receive what you have given.

If your brother takes from you, love, bless, forgive, and give cheerfully. You can never lose. God will always take care of you. Everything God has is yours, and everything you have is God's. God gives in love cheerfully and asks nothing in return. Know that your brother must have need of what he takes, and your need for it is gone. No one can take from you unless you think they can. See your brother calling out for help, and give lovingly, knowing that as God provided the materal substance of the gift for you, He will provide the multiplied blessing for you if you give it to your brother in love.

The logic and reasoning of the world are false. It is when you think that something is yours alone and your possession that you try to separate yourself from God and your brothers. All that you have is yours, your brother's, and God's. Seek not to possess, just to use what God gives you at the time, knowing that if a brother takes it away, your need for the material substance and good is over. Bless it in love to your brother's use to help him in his life.

Do what your brother needs you to do for his salvation. Remember what does not matter to you may matter to him. Give all to God, and know that with God's strength, there is nothing that you cannot do. Become not attached to the things of this world. God will provide what you need to use while you need it. If a brother takes something, know that someone else has better use for the object than you do. Love, bless, and let go.

Give to those who have need, and know that God is and will provide abundantly for you above that what you could think or ask. Trust only in God for everything, seek first His kingdom, and stay in the peace of love and forgiveness forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 43-45 Chapter 5, Verses 43-45
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Light and judgment fall on both the just and the unjust. A brother who is unjust today may be just tomorrow, as a brother who is just today may be unjust tomorrow. The just shall live by faith in the love and forgiveness that there Father is and that He created them to be. The just shall see the light and know that they only bring judgments on themselves when they hate, curse, or hurt their brothers.

All of God's children are one in spirit. The ones who know this love and forgive, and the ones who do not know hate, attack, and make judgments and condemnations on themselves by judging and condemning others. They know not what they are doing to themselves. They do not like to live in pain, sorrow, and sickness, but do not realize that they bring this on themselves by their lack of mecy, love, and understanding of others.

Love your brothers. Bless and pray for them, and know that they are lost in the pain of their grievances. They cannot see the light of God's love through their grievances and judgments. Love and give your brothers and yourself to the Holy Spirit for love and healing within from all the errors of thought you or a brother may believe in.

God is a God of love and mercy. All are already saved from all the insane thoughts about sin, judgment, and hate that they may ever believe in by their ignorance of not knowing their own true reality. All are one with their brothers and one with God. This reality is hidden within and will not be seen or understood until love and forgiveness shines away all hurts, resentments, hatreds, anger, fear, judgments, and condemnations that cover its reality.

The world's source is fear and its effects are judgment, condemnation, anger, resentment, and hurts. God is the source of all good and love, and the effects are love, peace, understanding, wisdom, joy, happiness, beauty, harmony, abundance, and no limitations. Love, bless, and pray for your brothers, and see the effects of love and forgiveness forever. Amen.

Chapter 5, Verses 46-48 Chapter 5, Verses 46-48
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Love and forgive all your brothers. Love all with an unconditional love that can only come from God in the power of spirit. If you love only those who love you, you are no different than anyone in the world. There is no separation. You and your brothers are one and the same. See separation, and you will cloud over your real self of love and oneness with your separation thoughts.

Acknowledge all as God's sons. See not only your friends, relatives, and church people as God's children. You must realize that you are a part of a much bigger family. You are one with all that God created. All are your family. With God, there are no separate families of specialness that exclude others and love only a special few. You are a part of everyone and everything and a part of God your Father. Feed on your oneness with all creation, not your fearful thoughts of separation, and live in the consciousness of oneness, love, and peace forever. Amen.
