SHACK 1088 GOD CALLING

You Tube

For many years I have calendar edited by A.J.Russell and from the best selling book 'God Calling' it is predominately New Testament and some psalms and Old Testament. If I remember correctly it was channelled so to speak by two female 'listeners' I believed they just sat in the silence. There is a saying by Jesus'
New King James Version
'For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 

Well today 11/01/2022 I sat after reading this calendar and this really 'called to me'  The reading was from John 15.4 'Abide in me (to me in the silence and peace) As a branch cannot bear fruit of itself. except it abide in the vine (to me my free will ego just sprouts small diminutive buds and no fruiting, the vine being rooted in the peace beyond thought---' lean not to your own understanding' 'The peace that passes all human understanding' ' The Kingdom of heaven is within') no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (to me all is of God and stands alone).

As I type this my spelling and dyslexia is appalling, it is as if something is deliberately stopping this entry and even the computer played up and took time to log up and fiddley mucking about.

The silences are calling me. An extract from a Native American prayer; 'As each day passes, help to me to surrender with grace, the things of my youth. Help me to listen to the quiet and find serenity and comfort in the silences as they become longer' 

As I type this paragraph above re the silences I had an insight; I had been wrestling with a decision over exercises. I do several of which one is a very ancient Qi Gong form with a Gan(stick) and named Jiangan ( video on You Tube by Michael Davies) I can do the standing ones but the floor one's are for me strenuous and hurt me and make me sore. I tussled with this because I am I feel I am overweight and obese and these certainly that is the ground ones could slim me down. However they are not for me, this came out of the insight above 'help me to surrender with grace, the things of my youth'. 

Many seniors who practice Qi Gong have bellies and as a senior I do not have to a 'build and figure' to attract a female or anyone especially myself, but surrender to the peace and listen to what my dearest lovely body needs and loves and be satisfied how from the guidance from the quiet and let the nudging from the silences as they become longer or more frequent satisfy me how I am.

Be still and know I am God within the.

And now the reading of the Above John 15.4 quote by the two listeners;

'There may come times when you sit in silence, when it seems you were left alone. But you will have the consciousness of My Presence, when you hear no voice. Abide in that Presence.'
