THE DAILY INSPIRATION FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER IS WRITTEN BY HERBERT LASSITER FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. 

THE SPIRITUAL POWER WE FOCUS ON DURING THIS MONTH’S DAILY INSPIRATION IS LIFE REPRESENTED IN SCRIPTURE BY THE DISCIPLE JUDAS.  TODAY WE CELEBRATE LIFE ON EVERY LEVEL --  PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, MATERIALLY, AND ESPECIALLY ABUNDANTLY AND ETERNALLY. 

IS IT CHRISTMAS YET?                          T.G.I.F.: Thank God I'm Free.

Go First And Fully To God.             Again, I Pray For The Now.

Accept Your Wholeness - Now.

 

 

     Unto us a child will be born. That was the promise. A Son will be given and His name would be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Is it Christmas yet?
    Wise rulers from the East would come to bring gifts of gold and such. They would kneel in worship and then go home a different way. Their adoration would be the stuff of songs and praise for centuries to come. Where are they? Have they come? Have they gone? Is it Christmas yet?
    Revelation: The Child that is to be born is the joyful spirit of expectation in each of our hearts. The Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace is the whole and wholesome Presence of Divine Thought in our minds, and loving feelings in our hearts. Only the one who reads these words can answer the question: "Is it Christmas yet? "

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and his name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

    On a happy church web site, www.cutemple.org. every Friday is T.G.I.F. day in the LIFE-BUILDER feature. We celebrate and have fun making up new uses for the expression, T.G.I.F.
     To many T.G.I.F. simply means, "Thank God, It's Friday" (the end of the work week). To them, it is a time for merriment and relaxation and maybe a drink of carrot juice or distilled water. But, T.G.I.F. can be whatever we want it to mean. Thank God, It's Fun. Thank God's Invisible Force. Thank God, It's Finished.
     As we think about the Christmas season let us consider: "Thank God, It's Fulfilled." The promise of Peace of Mind, Strength of Body, and an Everlasting Awareness of the Presence of God is fulfilled. T.G.I.F. indeed.
Affirm: "Thank God, I'm Free. Thank God, I'm Fulfilled."

"And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."   Luke 1:46-47

         Do not tarry for even an instant. When the opportunity arises to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, GO FIRST AND FULLY TO GOD.
     Let your prayer be that you know God in the present tense, not a God of the ancient past, or a God of some future, faraway time and place. Pray that you know the current and active Presence of the Eternal God, the Eternal Spirit that is within you, NOW — in the moment that is at hand.
     Now, go ahead and claim your access to the Divine Creativity and Intelligence. Let your prayer be the Prayer of the Now, the Prayer used in the 1,000-Voices-in-Prayer program of www.cutemple.org:

I totally release the past.
The future is not yet come.
In the mystical moment that is
NOW, I live. Thank You, God. Amen.

     You might ask: Who can pray such a prayer as this? The answer: You can! And ... you can do it, NOW. Thank You, God. Amen.

"... and the Lord shall guide you continually." Isaiah 58:11

 

     "Through the Power and Authority of the Christ in me, I totally release the past. The future IS NOT yet come. In the mystical, God-Aware moment, that is NOW, I live. Thank You, God.
Amen."
     I do not need to rely on my human history and capabilities to pray such a prayer. I can rely totally on the Presence of the Christ Spirit in me, "the same mind that was in Christ Jesus." I can call upon this all-knowing, all-loving Mind to exercise its eternal authority. I commission it to cleanse from my soul the limitations of any prior unproductive or unpleasant experiences.
    I release even the joys of the past, knowing that they were only God's appetizers for the present. In this moment, I do not attempt to live in the future, postponing my blessings to another time and place. I live triumphantly in this Moment, knowing that all of God is with me in the Moment that is NOW. Thank You, God. Amen.

"Behold, now is the accepted time."    II Corinthians 6:2

     Through the authority of the Spirit of God in me, I see myself as being whole, healthy, and complete. In this moment, all of me. Spirit-Soul-Body, is at peace -  healed. I click on the light of freedom in my Soul, and all is well. Thank You, God. Amen.
     With the light of freedom shining brightly in me, I am healed by_the Power and Grace of the Spirit of God in Me. This is an immediate and comprehensive healing. I give thanks for its lasting effects. My prayer becomes an act of gratitude for the healing that is NOW. I thank You, God. Amen.
     With the joy of wholeness ringing in my heart, I behold healing not only for my acquaintances and friends, but also for all people everywhere. I see through their outer shells to the Holy Light within them. I recognize that it is the same Light that blazes in me. My prayer for them and for me becomes: We are whole. We are complete. Thank You, God. Amen.

"Your faith has made you whole."    Matthew 9:22
