Resurrection Time:


God is my help in every need; God does my every hunger feed; God walks beside me, guides my way, through every moment of the day. I now am wise, I now am true, Patient, Kind and Loving too, all things I AM, can do, and be, through Christ, the Truth that is in me. God is my health, I can't be sick; God is my strength, unfailing quick; God is my all, I know no fear, Since God and Love and Truth are here.
Hannah More Kohaus

I love that poem, known as The Prayer Of Faith; Whenever I read it, I hear the voice of my mentor and minister, Bishop-Reverend Dr. Barbara King within my mind and it always makes me smile. It too is a favorite of her's and she quotes it often in a way that only she can do. Powerful words when read slowly, and taken deeply within one's own consciousness as a reminder to the Truth of not only what God is, but about whom we are in the essence of that God energy.

Often times we may need a reminder of our connection to Spirit, a surge of divine power to rejuvenate our faith and wisdom when dealing with the issues we face in life. Simply speaking a line from the poem often empowers me instantly and brings me back to my center. God is my all, I know no fear, since God and Love and Truth are here. In moments of confusion, doubt and even fear, this is all I need to focus upon to move forward with ease. Moving forward through challenging situations we may encounter, is in fact quite symbolic to the resurrection that Jesus demonstrated in the tomb.

Charles Fillmore, Unity's Co-founder said that resurrection takes place in us every time we rise to Jesus' realization of the perpetual indwelling life that is connecting us with the Father. In other words, when I can fully step into that place of knowing, believing and affirming that I AM one with the ONE, I am revived and reawakening to my true nature as a spiritual being. In a flash of insight I AM reborn and resurrected and become infused with my true Christ potential to do all, be all and live an abundant life fully present and fully joyful.

I now am wise, I now am true, Patient, Kind and Loving too, all things I AM, can do, and be, through Christ, the Truth that is in me. Our resurrection awaits! Rise up and walk as love in motion!
