“Sparks of Light”
Jesus Christ our Way Shower declared that he was the light of the world. He also said that no man comes to the Father but by him. In other words, the only way to the Father is through accepting and believing that Jesus demonstrated the Christ within Himself. BUT WAIT! It gets better…… He also said that we had the same calling & the same sacred Christ Potential. This talk is about each of our own life odysseys. I am going to talk about taking control of our lives & and living life fully. Not just the overall picture of where we want to go, but day by day living our lives and finding enjoyment in them; more than enjoyment, finding magic in life in each moment. This is what life is supposed to be.

“Seek the Light of Understanding”
One night, the Lord appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask what I shall give you.”
In response, Solomon answered, “Give your servant, therefore, an understanding mind to govern your people.” 1 Kings 3:5; 3:9
Understanding is the ability to know, perceive, and apprehend.
Affirmation: My understanding of Truth deepens and directs my life.
Month: July
Location in the body: Front of the brain
Our focus for July is Understanding.
Understanding is about more than surface-level knowledge. It’s about perceiving, comprehending, and apprehending the deeper truths beyond appearances.
Looking beyond the surface helps us to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.

“Trust vs Faith”
Trust is our internal acceptance based on our individual personal experiences. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Faith takes a rock-solid belief and unconditional trust that defies description. A deep unwavering knowing that God indeed has a master plan and divine order.

“Nature Knows”
Mankind experiences the illusion of separation from Divine Mind in order to have the experience of free will. Since plants, animals and what we call inanimate objects do not have free will they do not experience that sense of separation. They are in a state of oneness with Divine Mind and therefore are in a state of knowing. Nature does not have to study and learn as humans do because Nature already knows. If we as humans can work together with Nature and tap into that knowing, we can vastly improve our lives and our World around us.

“Acceptance Doesn’t Mean Approval”
Acceptance is the first, but most challenging step, to not only surviving a situation, but learning and growing from it. We know on a cerebral level that we can’t change others, but our hearts often forget.

“Freeing The Soul”
In life there are two paths, the higher way, and the lower way. There is a new realm of living, into a new kingdom that will give us a freedom we have never experienced thus far. Every person lives in an environment of energy that circulates through the cells of the organism like bees in a hive. This is a time of a great awakening in the consciousness of humanity. The thought that we are more is being accepted inside of us because those thoughts, that awareness actually already lives inside of us. We are blessed beyond measure.
September 29, 2024 – Bob Churilla
“Awakening as an Adventure-Part II”
During the second message of this series, we will study freedom from time through presence, giving to the world, and becoming one with reality through acceptance.
