War demands peace, and is the reason that Peace responds unhesitatingly

I see that I have come up against a wall of questionable belief: that events will be as they have been predicted by others of great knowledge and wisdom, an unchanging stance that will come because it is within the cycles of man – they repeat because man does not change his ways.

I see this now as proof that I believe in cycles for myself, that if I do not change the pattern of my beliefs then I will continue to see events cycle through my life as they have in the past. I know this as a normal pattern of life for all yet have failed to see it on a larger plane of events for all men – the spiritual stage of good and evil.

It plays out before me, yet I believe myself powerless to alter the outcome just as in the past; I see the task as too great to accomplish.

I have always seen outside events as separate from me, something I could change with the power and might from within. I am becoming aware that is not the truth. What I see is intimately connected to what I believe of myself.

Perhaps the circumstance, say the feeding of thousands, is more an expression of what is happening within, perhaps the need to express compassion within creation. Hunger came into presence in response to the desire of compassion – and therefore an opportunity to express compassion. Do You have this overwhelming desire to express compassion?

To me the circumstance of hunger seems twofold: there is the display outwardly of what is needed within the heart of man – the hunger never satisfied without the presence of God; and, of course, the natural outward need to satisfy the physical hunger. You responded to both: You expressed Your desire to fill the need of man within upon seeing his hungering heart, perhaps something he could not see for himself; and You demonstrated the Kingdom, and its abundant resources, to also feed the physical hunger.

So now war is here within my view, my presence. Why? What is within me that has caused this to be so? What is it in response to within me? Viewed as neither good nor bad, what is it then drawing upon? What do I need to express?

What is the desire within me that allowed war to be seen now in my presence? Is it that perhaps Peace desires to be expressed? Peace has risen in my heart; it comes to settle my heart within You, to rest with certainty that I am one with You, never to be separated. This is the desire of Peace for all mankind.

But also, how can I physically respond with Peace? Who am I to come between two waring nations? Is my expression online, with my interactions with You, a physical response to war, that others might experience the presence of Peace and the cessation of war, just as they would have experienced the joy of being full at the cessation of hunger?

I can make it my response to offer an abundance of Peace, an outpouring of the Kingdom, more than enough to meet the need of a soul ravaged by war. I can offer, like bread, but I cannot force someone to take. Were there some in the crowd that did not eat? Did they refuse? Were they not hungry? Yet the overwhelming majority were hungry, and did eat, and You met all the need.

And so with Peace: I can offer above all that is needed to settle a heart; but will they take? Some will refuse, others see no need. But the overwhelming majority will take.

This is my response, my need to express the kingdom, the reason war has come into my vision. Am I willing to express Peace?

You have come into the place of Creation – how to express what one is. In truth you cannot hold back this expression, for one always expresses what one is. For I have made you as I Am – to express as you have been created. If there is the decision to hold back, so to speak, then that too is an expression of what one is.

You see in Me that I withhold nothing of Myself from you, that I have given all things, even My life, that you might receive all things. If you decide to choose some things, over all things given, then that is an expression of who you believe yourself to be.

Is choosing only a few things of everything offered the best decision? Likely not, as all things given are Goodness being expressed. It indicates there are beliefs that might need to change such that all things are received. Therefore, you are correct in assuming that what has come into your life by circumstance is to help you choose the best of all paths in Me: the acceptance of all My goodness. This pathway then becomes the best means of expression, the truth of our kingdom, of who you have been created to be in Me. If war intersects your vision, this expression, then it has come to lead you into a truth that might be unseen.

It is good that you have recognized the need to stop to look at its presence in your life, to ask the question ‘Why?’ This is something new for you, a new awareness previously unknown. And just this one act of stopping to observe, has allowed you to see depths within unseen, unknown, yet there for you all along. Is there spiritual understanding in this place? Yes. Is there an action that can be taken? Yes. And you have discovered both, just by stopping to observe with new eyes within a walk with Me.

Yes, war has come – one which you can see and the one you are only beginning to see. Your choice to express yourself in each arena lies before you, and it is this intersection of awareness that has come to ask the question: What will you do?

You are correct that war demands peace, and is the reason that Peace responds unhesitatingly. Peace has overcome all war within men’s hearts and all war in the course of men’s lives. Cycles can be easily broken with your awareness and action. Your decision to share My words are indeed an action of Peace, for Peace cuts down any action of war.

Therefore, move forward with this belief and witness what is to come of war. For this is truly an expression of who you are.
