THE GOD LESSONS-PART III

You cannot gain the true life while simultaneously trying to avoid the only pathway to it with all your strength, "the way is narrow and constricted by pressure". This is what the pro-fess-ers do. Before you come to the place where you hear the interior Voice of the Word of God, you must learn to SEE the exterior Voice of the Word of God in your life circumstances.

The exterior Voice of the Word of God appears to the individual as an "enemy"-a "bad" thing. It appears this way because one's outward circumstances are a mirror reflection of what is going on inside the individual. It is showing that the interior is ruled by an enemy. Sickness, disease, so-called accidents(really is no such thing, as the word implies chance occurrances), deaths of family members, adverse job circumstances, animosity between relatives, acquaintances, and co-workers, and on and on. Everything which "comes against" the individual which appears as an enemy is actually God in "disguise" as a lesson or teaching whose goal is the transformation of the individual-a "turning inside out"-and as each lesson is given thanks for and accepted for what it really is, then the individual "overcomes" the "obstacle" until the next one comes. As each lesson is learned, the lessons decrease.

Many never learn these lessons which come continually to all. They use the band aids that this world offers to ward off, alleviate, escape, circumvent, avoid and defend or resist.

That which comes to you, keeps coming to you until you learn the lesson it brings.
