How to Find a Safe Haven: I Know in My Heart

I know in my heart we are going to have a “Safe Haven for the transitional year”

A blue lake with a mountain in the background, partially obscured by a tree.
A steady gaze of hope peeking through the branches toward the still waters of life.

in every city where women are having their “last fight.” It has been going on for centuries. We are going to throw the abuse away and bring back the beautiful aspects of life for our sisters, families, and neighbors.

For centuries, women have been mistreated. Been there, done that—more than we know. Now we know we are not alone. Everyone in their way has prayed for a way out. I have been living lifetimes in a day—the cleansing of heart and soul.

No one got here by themselves! So we should share our recovery from the deterioration of what is most important for our families! Save the women, save the children, and stop the cycle of abuse.

We need to help regenerate our God-given rights. “Reach out and touch somebody’s hand; make this world a better place if we can.”

We can! Our way has been shown. Not for greed, but for compassion, understanding, and help in gaining knowledge.

The process is harder if you are on your own; by that time you are so hurt, you just do not have any fight left. I have been fortunate. In the first two and a half months, I went to sixty Al-Anon meetings.

When are we going to get up and use our knowledge for the multitudes, as Christ did and is doing through all the people who have been afflicted through misunderstanding?

January 21, 1996

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”
— Psalm 82:3-4 (KJV)

“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”
— Isaiah 1:17 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. A Safe Haven: I know in my heart that a divine sanctuary of safety and recovery is being prepared for every sister, family, and neighbor breaking free from the past.

II. The End of the Cycle: By the power of the Holy Spirit, the centuries-old cycle of abuse is cast down, making way for the return of life’s most beautiful aspects.

III. Shared Recovery: I am never truly alone in my path; I boldly reach out to lift others out of affliction, using my hard-earned knowledge to bring healing to the multitudes.

Reflection

Written in January 1996, this visionary and deeply compassionate piece serves as a passionate battle cry for global restoration, healing, and structural safety.

Looking directly at centuries of systemic mistreatment, the author transforms personal survival and recovery—including the practical steps of dedicated community meeting attendance—into a universal blueprint for a “Safe Haven”.

The text moves beyond a solitary journey, emphasizing that because healing cannot be achieved in isolation, it must be shared to actively shield families and break generational cycles of trauma.

By echoing a call to extend a helping hand, this poignant writing serves as an invitation for believers to move out of quiet affliction and use their gathered wisdom to establish places of true protection, compassion, and spiritual rebirth for the multitudes.

How to Stand Ready: It Will Be Accessible When Called Upon

It does matter how I read it. Will be accessible when called upon.

A landscape photograph from a traveler's journey showing a massive solid rock mountain rising behind an open field with a few trees clustered at the very top.
Finding steady hope and beautiful, steady hope along the journey.

Thanks for waking me up from my coma—not literally.

I knew I was going to be by water this winter. Oh, ye of little understanding. Grow in the Word, and you will be clarifying God’s most wonderful gift.

We hear, but we have to get ourselves ready. We have to project our spirits together for power. The enemy is all around us, waiting to take another piece. You need to cleanse; let us go, we have work to do.

Our families are affected, and they need us to grab them out of the fire and into the light.

January 30, 1996 It Does Not Matter

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
— Romans 13:11 (KJV)

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”
— Psalm 18:2 (KJV)

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”
— Isaiah 58:6 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Awakening: I am fully awake to God’s timing, moving directly into the light and clarity of His most wonderful gift.

II. Accessible Strength: The power and protection of the Holy Spirit are completely accessible to me whenever I am called upon.

III. Family Deliverance: Through intercession and faith, I boldly reach out to help grab my family out of generational fires and anchor them safely in Christ’s light.

Reflection

Written in January 1996, this urgent and profound entry captures a sudden, awakening shift in spiritual focus.

Describing an internal rescue from a deep, long-standing “coma,” the text underscores the vital importance of personal preparation and alignment with the Word.

It serves as an active battle cry for spiritual cleansing, noting that the opposing spiritual forces are always ready to claim another fragment of our lives if we remain asleep.

Ultimately, the writing establishes a serious responsibility for families, urging us to step beyond personal comfort and step into our authority to snatch loved ones from the destructive fires of worldly inheritance and carry them into the safety of everlasting light.

How to Find Soul Prosperity When You Feel Alone

How to Find Soul Prosperity When You Feel Alone

A wide winter landscape photo of a vast frozen lake with a massive, snow-capped mountain peak rising on the far side beneath heavy cloud cover.
Anchored in stillness: a lake resting at the base of life’s most massive, snow-covered peaks.

In all my years of putting up with afflictions, I would never have come to my ultimate conclusion. I am like a lost sheep that does not have anywhere to go. Furthermore, I am in a strange land of opportunities, but I feel all alone.

Please help me, Jesus, in Your blood spread all over this world, and let us take action. For the wages of sin have come to their conclusion, and why should the innocent suffer without cause? I wish not death on this man that has judged me, but peace to the Earth.

You have taught me immeasurable lessons, and You alone walked me through the fire. I have no fight left. Oh, Jesus, I am scared. Please bring the Comforter down and rest with me while I grow in knowledge, wisdom, communication, compassion, understanding, and patience.

Lord, You put many words in my vocabulary. I thank You. Lord, keep near our children; You are the only one they can trust.

Hear them, Lord, each time they speak, for I know their pain. Lord, I have to say this: God bless him and her for their lack of knowledge; justification will come in Your time, not mine.

The pain is here, but I lift, as best I can, my pain, for it hurts to wait so long over something I have no control over.

Lord, I know You have not forsaken me, but what must I do now? Where shall I go to rest? Who do I talk to? Who is it that should tell me where to stay next? I feel I have nothing left. Am I to blame for all this mess?

My father said, “You are not a messenger of God.” I say, “Everyone is a messenger of God. We all need to find God this generation, for it is up—not the end of time, but the beginning of eternity.”

Our lives are muddled in all the generational garbage that man and his ancestors have kept alive: greed, materialism, and wants, not needs. Everyone is affected.

I need to write to the afflicted; I am not alone. I have to fight for God’s truth, in God’s time.

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.” Thanks be to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

I have nowhere to hide. Show me Your Way. Show me through Your Eyes. Show me through Your Guidance.

Show me through Your Courage, understanding, wisdom, fortitude, acceptance, and patience. The Oneness of Eternity which You possess.

Bring Your Word Alive through me. Let me be diligent in receipt of Your Gift to me, and let’s together proclaim the prosperity of soul, life through Jesus Christ our Savior.

March 4, 1996

“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?”
— Luke 15:4 (KJV)

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.”
— Psalm 39:12 (KJV)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
— Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Guided Steps: I am never a truly lost sheep, because Jesus Christ knows my exact location and is actively guiding my soul through this strange land.

II. Ultimate Comfort: I release my heavy fears and exhaustion to the Comforter, allowing His divine wisdom, patience, and fortitude to rest upon me while I grow.

III. A Messenger of Truth: I am a unique messenger of God’s eternal love, called to write comfort to the afflicted and bring His living Word alive through my testimony.

Reflection

Written in the early spring of 1996, this deeply transparent piece captures the profound vulnerability of feeling completely isolated in a transitional wilderness.

Standing at a crossroad of deep exhaustion and fear, the author models absolute surrender by turning away from human judgment and pouring out a raw prayer directly to Jesus Christ.

The text powerfully identifies the universal truth that everyone is called to be a messenger of divine grace, breaking free from muddled generational cycles of greed and materialism.

By crying out for the Comforter, this poignant message transforms an intense season of affliction into a training ground for spiritual growth, anchoring a broken heart in the ultimate realization that soul prosperity and rest belong entirely to Christ.

Finding Powerful Peace with No Cover Up For My Abused Self

“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and save such as be of a contrite spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (KJV)

A dramatic landscape perspective looking down an asphalt road with a massive, towering sheer rock mountain rising steeply on the right side
Standing small in the presence of life’s massive structures, anchored by an open path forward.

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
— Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
— Acts 26:18 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Out of Darkness: By the power of Jesus Christ, I am lifted out of the heavy darkness of trauma and carried into a pure state of divine grace.

II. Redeemed Testimony: My past survival is not a curse, but a sacred gift meant to bring comfort, healing, and light to a suffering world.

III. The Dwelling of Peace: I open the inner chamber of my heart completely, trusting that the Holy Spirit has ignited an eternal light that no earthly pain can dim.

No Cover Up For My Abused Self

You know I have felt over the years that it is only in the Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father. Since I started writing the book at the beginning of 1996, I have wondered: Who am I to write what I have, and who in the world cares about what I have done?

But all the while, time and time again, it was my journey from the darkness of my soul to bring light back to my soul for the loss of my life and my love.

Through my writings, it lifts me out of darkness into a state of grace. Grace is given by Jesus Christ. I know my pain was buried; my pain was ugly, and my pain was right in my face. When I left, I was in shock.

I searched deep into myself through all the readings, all the prayers, all the crying and mourning, and through the things I put up with on the emotional roller coaster of the negative that had consumed our lives.

I had no cover-up for my abused self, from him or from me, for losing myself to the lie, because that is all it was. I once said, “If this was all a game, everyone lost.” Well, you know, the only thing we lost was the fight.

My straightforward being is a constant in these writings. It is only in the spirit of our dear Heavenly Father, who made my experience a gift and not a curse.

It is a gift to mankind for the remission of the world’s sins. In God, I live through Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit has ignited the light in my soul to induce the omnipresence of every prayer for humankind, opening up the kingdom of heaven within each one of us.

Oh please, who am I? No one, not even myself, picks me apart. The Lord, through me, gave me His Holy Spirit to perpetuate an ongoing dialogue with Him “In Presence of Spirit.” That is what is up.

All summed up for me, right? No! Not for a second. It is made “In Presence of Spirit” for His purpose, to stay with me until the end of time and forever. Now, this is the only forever, I can only imagine.

It was never a competition against or with the husband of my youth. Although it is obvious, I am not competing. I stayed unmarried, and he was married all but three months of those fourteen years.

Our kids are adults; his kids are in the first grade and kindergarten. Now he is staying, making it right. His little game caught up with him. Now that I know it was all his game, because he always competed with me for some strange reason—reasons that have now come to pass.

I survived every obstacle to complete for me, mine, and the Lord’s, “In Presence of Spirit” to be shared. It is a must of my desire and my quest.

I cannot in my mortality state it any different. I refuse to be embarrassed about my small part in this. To repeat: “But what oneself is to You, dear Lord.” He gave me my heart and my soul back “In Presence of Spirit—The Original Writing.”

I thought long and hard about that—the first piece of my heart that He gave me eyes to see so I could write it down “In Presence of Spirit.” And then closed they went. I was part of the negative inside me, not just my negative, but everyone’s. Take it any way you want it.

I have to see it through; no door has opened yet, so this is all or nothing. What do I have to lose? I guess I am the one who is going to open that door. Hey! What? The door has already been opened, and no one dared to come into Wendy’s “In Presence of Spirit.” When they do, I know I will feel better. I love it; He gave me meaning before, during, and after my misery.

In the presence of my misery, Jesus took my hand and guided me out of darkness into the light of His ever-presence. I have been a silent partner with Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Silent I must not be anymore; too many are suffering. Although I still do not speak what I wrote, if it is the Holy Spirit’s will for me to speak at that time, so be it, with one heart to heal.

October 27, 2008

Reflection

October 2008, this landmark foundational writing serves as a raw, unfiltered bridge between a devastating past and a divinely appointed future.

It marks the exact moment the writer completely sheds the painful weight of survival, choosing transparency over concealment and recognizing that a broken road can be turned into a holy instrument.

By viewing a season of severe personal trial not as a permanent curse but as an active spiritual gift, the text illustrates how personal survival transforms into a guiding light for others who are quietly suffering.

Walking hand-in-hand with Jesus out of the shock of trauma, this piece stands as an open gateway—inviting readers to leave behind human games, break their silence, and step directly into the healing, ever-present warmth of the Holy Spirit.

Open Your Heart to Understanding | Spirit Presence

“Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16 (KJV)

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

Dramatic dark storm clouds hanging over a brilliant orange sunset between mountains with a winding river below.
Finding the light of hope tucked between the darkest clouds and the heavy mountains of life.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Guidance: The Holy Spirit is my constant Guide, filling my heart with the peace and strength of Jesus Christ.

II. Complete Surrender: As I release my own will to Him, His pure love envelops and shelters me completely, bringing divine understanding and steadfast protection to my soul.

III. Renewed Strength: I walk by faith and not by sight, confident that the regenerating power of God cleanses all pain and anchors me in His perfect time.

Open Your Heart to Understanding

Read 2 Corinthians 5 in one sitting! You will be home soon. He will come, and you will have the strength to go on whichever road He chooses. Follow Him always. In your heart are all the answers of the universe, which will bring the peace you so desire.

The Holy Spirit is your Guide. The Lord is the Light. The Lord is the strength that makes the seed grow. The Lord is in you. Let the Passion of Christ encircle you completely. Give up your will and put it into the stretched-out arms that God, through Jesus Christ our Savior, is holding out for you.

Referring to Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest, I hope you have read some entries of the book I passed up to you. There is no holding back, so it is necessary to tell you that I have had it for a year. There are so many revelations in his writings; he guides you through the distinct reality in which we live with Christ, and the opposition of the cleansing and sanctification that follow after Salvation.

Complete purification comes through baptism and deliverance from sin and temptation. All falls into God’s place and time. The regenerating forces of God’s power cleanse you of all your pain, placing strength within you alongside knowledge and ultimate understanding.

It is a gift. “God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever should ever believe in His name,” in the faith of His glorious love for His chosen, will not die but have eternal, everlasting life. As written in the King James Version: “Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

The life in which we are living is full of man’s traits in succession of time. This constitutes the loss of one’s rightful place. Purification, through the pure love of Christ and the ultimate abandonment of one’s own will, is a path to which there is no other.

The love of Christ penetrates the smallest opening, even as tiny as a mustard seed. Once this occurs, His love envelops you. Although rough times are ahead, you are sheltered with and through the Lord.

Your protection is in Him, through Him, and round about Him. The Glory comes through with His magnificent power and glory, and you know you are loved through the faith you hold in our Lord Jesus Christ.

December 8, 1996

Reflection

This profound piece, written in the winter of 1996, calls for a deep and ultimate surrender to the presence of Christ.

By drawing inspiration from the timeless devotion of Oswald Chambers and the transforming truths of 2 Corinthians 5, it highlights the journey of shifting from the active mind to the quiet, receptive spaces of the heart.

The text captures the essence of true spiritual purification—allowing the tiny seed of Christ’s love to take root, break through human limitations, and expand into an all-encompassing shelter.

Even when the road ahead appears rough or uncertain, this message serves as a comforting reminder that complete protection, divine peace, and life eternal are found entirely within His extended, merciful arms.

Nothing Like It: A Powerful Story of True Hope

Nothing Like It

A gorgeous photo capturing a brilliant gold and orange sunset peeking out perfectly in between low dark clouds above and a majestic mountain range below.
Finding beauty and steady hope along the journey.

Original Writing

There is nothing like having a gift to share. Thank you, Jesus, for my writing in spirit with you and Your Majesty.

Thank you for the spark of light, that you inspired, through me, in, “In Presence of Spirit,” and all its extensions. The big package, you gave me to treasure, unto your time, acknowledging your presence in spirit, not just for me, but for everyone.

Even though in human terms impossible, in the Lord’s hands this testimony has come to be: My Last Will and Testament.

One for all, all for One, has come together to consciously touch the presence of Jesus Christ, Christ the Holy Spirit from God through Jesus Christ to us all. February 28, 2011

12/29/12,
Oh man, how can I write these positive things, only, in “In Presence of Spirit.” Right now I am trying to write, and I cannot. I changed my book room because I needed everything in here with me. While I decide, what I am supposed to do.

Give more, and not get a comment in the world, or keep giving my Lord, updates with no one looking at the pages, themselves. Most of the views are updated copies of what I update. I do not know where it goes; it just gives me the acknowledgment that one and the other, were viewed.

God is offering you a gift; that is what the preacher said, do you accept God’s gift? Do you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior? I was at the end of the dead end. I had nowhere to hide. No way to escape the insanity in my mind.

The years of being without hope, without spirit, without strength, with that gut-wrenching pain, I felt for well over, seventeen years.

When I finally said yes, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior. I felt those lights, I describe.

I felt the precise fusion with Jesus Christ, my personal savior. It took me eleven months to be able to write it. In “State of Being” I was shocked after I wrote that one.

It is my handwriting; it is not copied from a book. It came out of my experience; that is not fiction.

Happy birthday to all the New Year’s babies in the world, including mine, who is 31 today. January 1, 2017, Happy New Year!

Scriptures

1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Romans 11:29
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Psalm 40:5
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Affirmations

I cherish the unique writing gift the Lord has entrusted to my hands, knowing it is a treasured package meant for everyone to find.

Though my physical surroundings change and human feedback remains silent, my soul rests content in updating the pages of my Savior’s work.

I am completely delivered from the dead ends of the past, standing securely in the precise fusion and radiant light of my Personal Savior.

Reflection

“Nothing Like It” lays bare the deep, internal wrestling that accompanies a true spiritual assignment.

To keep updating copy after copy when nobody in the world seems to leave a comment can cause a heavy weariness to settle upon the mind.

Yet, this piece stands as a grand reminder that a testimony built from a seventeen-year fire is not a fictional story—it is a living document of deliverance.

Shifting physical rooms or sorting out copyright years are simply milestones on a trail that was established before time began.

When we accept the ultimate gift of salvation at our lowest dead ends, the precise fusion with Christ leaves an unchanging mark upon the heart.

This writing calls us to overlook the silent statistics of the web and remember that a book inspired directly by the Holy Spirit remains an eternal treasure chest waiting to be found by the souls who need it most.

The portal of my spiritual awareness is expanded in the here and now, giving me the courage to follow His voice in perfect clarity.

Reflection

The worldly limitations and misconceptions of the multitudes fade away as the portal of true awareness opens in the here and now.

True access is not a complex mystery to solve, but a golden gateway into the throne of grace, shifting our steps from the heavy burdens of sin into the boundless freedom of forgiveness.

I hold the key to the portal of my soul, opening up completely to Father God where I am ultimately and finally home.

I choose to live in the eternal here and now of yesterday’s tomorrows, walking boldly in the true newness of life right now.

Reflection

“Weathered Me” stands as a magnificent, timeless testimony to the profound protection of our Creator in the middle of life’s trials.

While the storms of the world rage on the outside, a quiet, divine work takes place on the inside.

The Lord shields our innermost being, keeping us safe so that we can emerge to capture hidden spiritual knowledge and remarkable revelations.

True peace is found when we realize that the kingdom of heaven is not a distant reward to wait for after human death, but an active, living presence dwelling inside the soul right now.

By turning the key of faith, we unlock an infinite union with Jesus Christ. This piece calls us to step out of the shadows of the past and into the radiant dawn of the here and now, where true life begins.

The Book is a Blessing: A Powerful Story of Hope

Original Writing:

The Book is a Blessing

A beautiful photo looking across a wide, open field stretching forward to a majestic rock mountain range rising under a grand sky in the far background.
Finding Steady Hope Along the Winding Journey

The book is a blessing; I cannot help that I believe this. I have always thought the book was not about me. “My search through the valleys, and tunnels, that my life’s circumstances have unfolded.” But it is. I did not mean to be vain, in any way.

My boldness is in the spirit of the Lord’s presence, where everything is possible. Thus the I of Me, speaks for everyone, not just myself. So it is alright that, I am in the presence of spirit in conversations with the Lord, because I am.

Thank you, Jesus, for the presence of your spirit in all our conversations. Bless the husband of my youth, with the wealth of, Your Spirit, indwelling his ever-presence, and bring him, where you need him to be. Thank you, Jesus.

My eyes, I am staying out of the sun. Even with double sunglasses, I have blind areas in my eyes. I have given Jesus my love, my attendance, and every page is “In Presence of Spirit.” But for me, I have not given myself, entirely to my Savior, for I feel, I am unworthy. The Lord still forgives me and gives me the OK, to publish Our Conversations With The Lord.

Jesus Christ, steadfastly I call out into the barren wilderness of all the lost souls. Bring them closer to home, bring them inside, themselves, where you are, “In Presence of Spirit.” September 2009

Scriptures

Luke 1:45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Ephesians 3:12
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Affirmations

I stand boldly in the presence of the Lord, trusting that He has blessed my writings to speak to the hearts of everyone who reads them.

Though I may feel unworthy, I fully accept the Lord’s complete forgiveness and His divine permission to publish our sacred conversations.

My words are a guiding light sent into the barren wilderness to bring lost souls safely back home into the presence of Spirit.

Reflection

“The Book is a Blessing” serves as a profound threshold where personal affliction is completely transformed into a global spiritual sanctuary.

Walking through the darkest tunnels and valleys of life can leave a soul feeling isolated and physically worn.

Yet, when we surrender our lives entirely to the Savior, we discover that our deepest trials were never meant to remain hidden.

True boldness is born out of this total reliance on the Holy Spirit, allowing an ordinary person to become a voice for the multitudes.

Fears, Worries, and Anxieties: From Darkness to the Light

Original Writing: Fears, Worries, and Anxieties

A stunning view across a peaceful lake looking at a massive, singular snow-capped mountain standing majestically on the opposite shore under a clear sky.
Finding beauty and steady hope in His eternal presence.

Grew up in a close Latin Family, My twin, Dad, and I were the only white, people on my mom’s side of the family.

Whose suffering is it? Where is the shame? Well, for all, it is covered, until the dawning of the age, when all will be, laid out. For all to see, the unraveling, of the misconceptions of the false passed down, from all our ancestors.

Words being said, without meaning. In the outer sphere of awareness, which is in darkness. Until the real spark is ignited, to the answers from the darkness of the outer to the ever-present light of the inner.

The inner kingdom, which is in expectancy, for all men and women to come inside, to the truth of, Christ in all our existence. The core of understanding. The inward soul becomes part of the whole. In one heart, in one mind, in one soul.

From the outside, abominations to the clearing off, the cobwebs, from without to within. In Christ’s presence, there go I, and I am infinite, in the Universal Law of Cause and Effect.

We are the chosen. We all can come into, Father God, The Clearing, so the regeneration of the holy words can accomplish itself and bring peace to the multitudes. December 15, 1997.

Scriptures

John 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Ephesians 4:4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

Affirmations

I step out of the outer darkness and ancestral misconceptions, walking completely in the ever-present inner light of Christ.

My inward soul is cleared of all earthly cobwebs, perfectly united with my Creator in one heart, one mind, and one soul.

I enter into Father God’s divine clearing, where holy words regenerate my spirit and bring absolute peace to my being.

Reflection

“Fears, Worries, and Anxieties” opens a sacred window into the process of spiritual untangling. Growing up amidst deep family dynamics can weave silent threads of inherited suffering, unmeaning words, and cultural misconceptions that cloud the soul’s true identity.

Yet, the outer sphere of darkness completely loses its power the moment a real spiritual spark is ignited within the heart.

This writing reminds us that the true kingdom of God is never found in external validation or ancestral patterns, but in a dedicated withdrawal into the inner chamber of the soul.

By boldly stepping into Christ’s presence, the cobwebs of false beliefs are completely cleared away. We find our ultimate baseline existence in one unified spirit, opening the door to a universal regeneration that spreads comfort and steady hope to all who are searching.
