The Influence of God

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 3rd July 1937

Blessed are ye who answer to the influence of God and cursed ye who submit to the influence of evil. Ye who suffer in the cause of righteousness suffer not in vain. Evil alone enshrouds thy progression in darkness retarding the advancement of thy progression and all ye fail to comply but penetrate the darkness in vain. The Lord our God must be obeyed. Tread ye then the path of righteousness protected from the stringing thorns of obstruction but ye who wander in the darkness must surely tread upon the stings of realisation. Faith in the controlling forces of God's Holy Influences will surely lighten thy burden of material and spiritual obstruction.

In those words whose meaning is in accordance with the Sphere of thine own compliance will be found two roads, one road is the true road the other is a promise oh ye who trust and believe for what thou art expecting to receive will without thy compliance will find thy shrouded intentions revealed.

It has been spoken that thine actions and thy deeds and wisdom of thine own acceptance with the strength to obey in the face of all retarding will lead ye surely to the protection of the Power of the Holy Ghost our God our predominating influence that controls all forces in Heaven and on Earth.

Learn ye now that ere ye are permitted to enter the Kingdom of Progression thou must cleanse thy material self cleanse thy Spiritual Soul and cleanse the influences controlling thy Soul, for thou must realise the wisdom of compliance.

A task that is thine must be borne by thee thy troubles that thou alone must endure. All the wealth that thou dost possess cannot force others to carry thy burden. Realise the splendour of thy material possessions may be but the fruit of temptation for could thou but realise the beauty of a flower is judged not by its possessions. The beauty of thy Soul is judged by the Power to comply not with the fear of God but with the love of God, for the desire to lighten the burdens of those who are in the whirlpool of doubt and darkness.

Ye who fail to hear the guiding influences endeavouring to lead them towards the path of progression there is none so deaf as those who desire not to hear.

Be guided by the cries of those who have suffered the agonies of wilfulness and non compliance whose strength and Powers have been weakened and whose voice in the wilderness of sin failed to guide their erring footsteps in the hour of doubt.

The Power of God is a Power of Strength given only to those whose soul is the soul of righteousness.
