WORDS NOT IN GODS VOCABULARY
By; Rev. Harold K. Wilson (White Eagle)
Let us now realize the limitations we put on ourselves. The
things we say daily. We say we can't do something or that someone or something
is in our way. We call those excuses but in reality we are sending out negative
vibrations. We say, I have to build a house, but where am I going to get the
bricks? We limit ourselves. If we have to build something, let us go and
find what we need and build it. It may take a while, but it is positive.
Have you ever thought of the magnititude of the limitations of your own
speech? No, not that you only went to the eighth grade of school or that you
were a college graduate with several degrees hanging on your wall. We mean
all those words you use without realizing their limitations. Let us look
at just a few of our words that God does not use.
Cannot. Webster defines as having no choice. This word is really contradictory
to itself. If you split the word, can means: ability, power or preogative.
Not means: In no way and to no degree. Opposite meanings. The word should
not exist. Cannot is indeed used in the modern translation of the Bible. If
it is read in context, one finds that it means should not: For example: Man
cannot live by bread alone. He can if he chooses, but he must be willing to
reap the rewards of such a choice. You may not kow how or why, or say will
not, but not cannot.
Our next word is IF. This is one of the smallest of words, but yet the
biggest of excuses. Defined it says: on condition that. You again are limiting
yourself by setting up conditions that you suppose exist. Do they really?
Are you looking at the total picture? Are you being objective and fair? And
the part of the definition. That-that what? Here again, a manmade picture
of what might be, not necessarily what really is. We know that nothing is
impossible with God, not nothing is impossible if. If what? No limitations.
And this leads directly to number three. Impossible. Really? If you reall
believe anything is impossible, then you have just bound God. Oh, how powerful
you must be to be able to set such limitations on the Divine Creator. Here
again, we may not know how, or not have the knowledge or insight to see how,
but this does not make anything impossible.
What about fear? It is defined as; anxious anticipation or danger or fear.
Remember, Thoughts are things. You create your own Heaven or Hell as you express
faith in God or the lack of such. You say you are sick? Ask yourself why
and then correct it. Are you afraid to die? Let us talk about cancer for
a moment. You were born with cancer cells. Did you let it stop you until now?
When you have it, and you show your strength by continuing onward and upward,
you then become a guiding light for the countless others with a lack of strength
or understanding. You have helped someone even though you have wondered what
you could do but wait to die. God has the power to remove all if it be thy
will.
The next word is simple. Limited. Defined as being within bounds. If you
believe this then you reject that God is infinite. For Infinite Eternity,
and Universal are all boundless. For Infinite Eternity, and Universal are
all boundless. Here once more, you may not have the kknowledge or desire to
escape your bounds, but it is and can be done daily. Be honest with yourself.
Do you really want to change? What are you willing to give up? How hard will
you work for change?
Moving along with a word that ranks very high if not on the top of the
list. Money. We are sick. We do not first ask God to heal us or show us what
is wrong, we go to material doctors and pay great big fees to find the same
inner strength that we already have within. Granted, some conditions do require
a doctor's help. They they, themselves tell you there is no cure for the common
cold, and yet you would be staggered at the amount of money spent every year
going to a doctor with such problems. We make them all rich. We spend our
hard earned money on many material things (which we leave behind at death)
but I wonder when was the last time you asked God for substance to help your
fellowman rather than yourself. Don't answer. Most church collection plates
reflect the answer, and we are still guilty. We eat steak instead of hamburger,
go to a business car wash instead of the charity car wash on the corner, we
buy $100.00 dress at a fancy dress shop instead of the same dress at a less
expensive store so we can impress our friends, spend a lot on liquor even
though we know it is bad for us, much money on drugs, and so on. The list
is endless. We buy a gun to kill something instead of a shovel to plant and
grow something with. So as you run through life and enjoy to excess, this
brings us to our next word, Poor.
Poor, but only in spirit. You lost alot of good friends as you raced by.
The ones who had no money to enter your race in life. You lost friendship,
love, companionship, tolerance, and most of all, you lost God. Now you find
yourself struggling to find Him He never left you.; You turned your back on
Him for the material riches. Why? Did He not promise you The Kingdom of Heaven?
There is no known figure in the Universe that can buy one small part of The
Kingdom of Heaven.
And when all this is done, comes the most horrifying word. ALONE. God said
you are never alone. If you choose to ignore the Spirit within then you will
really know the true meaning of alone. Give God a chance. Look to the Kingdom
of Heaven,, not to Earthly treasures that last but a short time. That Infinite
Intelligence that is timeless, priceless, all Spirits, strength, and perfect
in love, peace, and harmony.
