The Suffering Sermon (Part 5 of 8)  

Know the Will of the Father and Fall back in the Knowing 

That is why I've learned to fall back and just trust God, always trying my best to imitate Jesus in all that I do. 

More often than not, suppressing my natural human notion to act based on my feelings, which are based on my own understanding. In exchange for a more godly way of behaving.   

Trusting my feelings have failed me before, there have been plenty of times I thought I knew best only to fail big time because I was way wrong. So I know that I can't even completely trust my feelings. That is basic logic; if something is fallible once, it can never be truly trusted. So what can be trusted in this world? The answer is nothing. God is the only infallible source of truth, thus you can always trust Him. It’s like the old saying goes, 

“Never lie to someone who trusts you and never trust someone that lies to you.” 

I now know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God is in control, and not me. And what a wonderful relief that is. It's the responsibility of saving the world, which I took on all by myself, is taken off my shoulders. If the world was to be as my whims would have it, chaos and disorder would surely ensue. If the world were so organized that everything had to be perfectly fair, according to me, the world wouldn't survive for a day. 

Imagine what the world would be like if everyone’s self-interest would have to be served. Birds would be forbidden to eat worms, out of the worm’s self-interested to stay alive, the birds would die of starvation. Thank God that He is in control, and not me... 

The only God, the Creator, that ETERNAL, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, and OMNISCIENT, supreme being... 

(ETERNAL, meaning not involved in the flow of time, OMNIPRESENT, meaning found everywhere; OMNIPOTENT, meaning all powerful; and OMNISCIENT, meaning all knowing for is in control and not me...) 

Christ has empowered me to go beyond the ideas succeeding and failing. These are judgment calls, and bias judgments at best, based on my narrow perspective. I have found that when I judge others, I do not define them, I define myself. A seeming failure could be a critical part of the big picture for all I know. I have learned to just try to stay in the process, just enjoying life in the moment and allow the perfect flow of the universe to handle the details. 

Flow with the spirit of God into His peaceful presence. A mind at peace, a mind focusing on not harming others is stronger than any physical force in the universe. Stay on purpose! And let the God of the universe handle the details. 

I've discovered that a great majority of my suffering is and has been caused by my mind, by a mind that insists on having preferences, and holding prejudices. A mind that will not allow others to be just as they are will never find true peace. 

But by the grace of God, I've learned let that go. And He has allowed me to begin to feel the true joy and exhilarating feeling of being at peace with myself and the world around me. Mindfulness about my body and awareness of the physical world around me has allowed me to tap into a peaceful flow from the pleadings of my soul. 

The Holy Spirit now guides me. I live in His presence. He lives in me. Peace is in my spirit. As I shift my consciousness from the world of form to the spirit world, I'm endowed with discernment of the Father's will... and I fall back in the knowing… Aligning my soul and spirit with the Spirit of the Lord.
