There is no end to all the peace and joy,
And all the miracles that I will give,
When I accept God’s Word. Why not today?
Why not today?
Years ago I was asked to give everything away in exchange to receive everything.
Matthew 19:21:
“Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”
This is a scary thing to do. It confronted me with all my worst fears and showed me that I believed in the world (even though I used to go around saying “there is no world!”) and that I thought my safety depended on me providing for my needs. Up to that point I thought “yes, I am doing everything that is asked of me, look at me, I’m giving all to all” (while still wondering why miracles were not occurring)
Be honest. Are you giving all, or are you saving up stores for your safety?
The reason Jesus asks his disciples to give everything away and follow him (and not turn back to pick up a sweater or kiss their wife – Mark 13:16) is not because he was trying to be mean or make them poor but rather …. because he was trying to show them the complete unreality of the world.
Jesus is not asking you to give all to all because he believes in sacrifice. He’s asking you to give all to all so that you can see where your safety lies, so that you can witness the Laws of God operating.
This world is not real. You cannot know this until you have given everything away and seen (with your own eyes as a direct experience) that different laws are operating in an invisible realm that have been available to you all this time. But you cannot know about these Laws until you loosen your tight grasp on the world you made.
Yes, it’s terrifying.
But look at this lesson! It’s extraordinary! It’s magnificent! You have a TREASURE that waits for you, and all you need do is but reach out your hand to find it. Even now your fingers touch it! It is very close.
But in order to reach out your hand and touch it, you gotta stop clenching your hand in a fist. You can’t touch something with a hand that is tightly closed. You must loosen it up, stop clinging.
Either you believe what this lesson is promising or you don’t and are still holding back, just a little, waiting for proof.
But the treasure is waiting for you! Right now! This minute! All you have to do is reach out your hand and accept your inheritance.
There is no end to all the peace and joy, and all the miracles that I will give.
What’s the key to this lesson? THAT I GIVE, WHEN I ACCEPT GOD’S WORD.
When I have accepted God’s Word, giving becomes natural and easy because I believe what He is saying to me. And as I give, the miracle occurs.
Most people – and I’m speaking here from my own very personal experience – spend all their time waiting for a miracle to be given to them and then they say will practice giving! But first! They are waiting TO RECEIVE. They are praying, hoping, wishing, and saying they are trying the best they can, and they are waiting for a miracle to improve their life.
People say: ‘I will give when I receive. I will give when I have more. What I have now I need for myself.”
I’m here to tell you … you will be waiting a very very very very very very very very very long time.
You give first, and then you receive. That’s how that works. I’m telling you directly. There should be no ambiguity after reading this lesson about how the miracle works. You give, and then you receive.
The miracles happens instantly and naturally when you give, because the miracle is contained in your giving.
I love it. Lessons like these activate me.
I give all the time because I’m selfish and I want everything!!
The joy that comes from the action of giving is extraordinary! This is the end of waiting! Ha! I’m telling you, you will be laughing your head off.
All those years of waiting for a miracle to occur (what’s in it for me?) and now you see why it wasn’t working. Because you were waiting instead of giving.
When you give, the flood doors open.

I love this line…
“I give all the time because I’m selfish and I want everything!!”
This lesson resonates with me deeply (in fact all the lessons I get from you in email are so dialed in to what is going on for me in this dream, there can by no way it is a coincident) and I am so glad to have read it today. I have given/sold many things in the last year, but what have I been giving? Well I have not been giving you proper praise and worship, instead I read it like some horoscope and then put it aside. I have been waiting all this time (35 freaking years!!) for mine.
Thank you, your gentle reminders of the lessons are a great service to us all.
Namaste.
Gat damn, beautiful post.
