Only Spiritual understanding can explain what Jesus meant when He prayed to the Father that He had given His words to the Apostles and they received or kept them.

What we think out of the Presence: our negative thoughts create our pain about the situation. How we think in the Presence: the feeling of the Peace creates a peaceful thought in the situation. This is something we cannot just think about or memorize. We can only discover by doing it.

You will receive the Wisdom you are looking for to bring balance into your life.  Read more

The Resurrection of Jesus as the Son of God can be revealed in many ways. Jesus chose to have the Apostles, as well as us, to understand the resurrection by using the Old Testament Scriptures which were the only Scriptures at that time.  Read more

Take a quiet moment to discover the difference between what you are thinking and how you are thinking. Think of your anger toward something someone did. Wonder what difference it would make if you were feeling the Presence of the Peace of God. If you can get in touch with the Presence, you will receive a Wisdom you could not have if you were out of God's Presence and feeling angry.  Read more
