Power draws to itself that which seeks to change

Day 196

And therein lies the confidence I need to begin to move ahead: the misunderstanding I have of the greater things that can be accomplished when even the non-greater things have not been done. What could possibly be the greater things if the healing of the sick, the feeding of the hungry masses, the raising of the dead, any and all provision of the needy are not seen? Am I discounting medicine, and food sources in my understanding? Or do I just see the provision of such needing to come directly from the hand of God? I would not discount either, but feel creation is more of the latter, at least what I feel I am capable of doing.

If my capability is of creation in all of these matters, then I see myself not as a servant, but as a son, and with the permission and ability to exercise the creative force of my Father and of our kingdom in all such matters. It is a recognition of my belief within this relationship that His power can extend through me in all ways I would truly want to express the kingdom.

If I create now unaware, and live the results of that creation within my life, how much more if I create with the revelation and awareness of this relationship, that these great things will come to pass as I envision them? Yet, I have not seen nor experienced that which I would want to see; I have no doubt that all have occurred elsewhere. But my heart remains for the overwhelming. Am I not seeing something?

You healed all that came to you – yet there were so many more You did not. Do they remain unhealed? You had compassion upon the multitudes that were with you, and you fed them – were there so many more of the hungry that were not with you? You provided for the singular financial need yet there was poverty all around. You raised one from the dead, one from compassion for those you cared for, yet so many others had also died. Is there a distinction between that I am ignorant of, and should there be, given my belief needs a concrete foundation? Is belief so measurable to include one possibility but eliminate the other? I cannot place this kind of template upon myself, for then I judge myself, and it is best not to do at all as to feel guilty for missing just one. My belief needs to be whole.

Do you trust Me?

You know the answer better than I. I want to but don’t know if I am.

As you have learned trust implies an adherence to, a reliance upon, a oneness not previously experienced. But it is not only something you do – as said many times before it is someone you are. And your awareness of this is growing each day. If you are with Me then you do trust Me. Your belief in Me is not unfounded, and it is there – in the place of trust, being and doing – you will always find the comfort of belief you seek.

You think you must go out and change things, change that which you are seeing now – the suffering, the pain, the poverty, the death. I know you feel powerless to do so. But your power does not reside within and then used but is who you are – you walk in it. Power draws to itself that which seeks to change; it does not go looking for something to change. You were drawn to Me for the power of My heart yearned for you. You have sought in Me that which you would see within your life – power is no less of a desire. You have sought for it, and it has been given already, for it is you and of you.

The walk within Power is the same as walking within Me. We express who we are and do what we are; it is not something we turn on and off at will for it cannot. Can we change who we are? The belief you seek is that – that we are: I am you and you are Me. We are One. We do as we are.

As you walk in Me, and I in you, you will begin to see what Power sees, what Might sees. They are Me; they are not possessions – remember, you have met them. You will begin to move within Power in ways you do not now understand, for Power does not move as man would understand, but moves as I would, and now as you do too. Power draws – wait for Him to draw to you that which you would want to change, whether disease, sickness, poverty, or even death. The greatest force of Might is belief, and your belief must be in us – I in you and you in Me. Let not what you see, or do not understand, or even yearn for, move you from that that place: I in you and you in Me. Does that help?

It always seems to come back to the place of being together. And maybe I do see a bit better that it can only be that way. I can only be near to You; and I feel incapable of doing anything away from You, even though I may know who I am and what is possible.

And therein is your faith and strength to create anything, for everything is possible if we are together.
