The Answer to Prayer

Linda Mihalic, Palm Sunday, April 9, 2006, Cleveland, Ohio, Mark 11:22-26, John 16:21-26

  “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”–Mark 11:22-26
  “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:”–John 16:21-26

  Jesus preached his “Our Father” discourse on prayer, which Matthew recorded, at a public event that thousands probably witnessed. He taught the truths about prayer, which Mark and John recorded, at the end of his mission, as his private instructions to his disciples.
  Jesus taught two ways to pray, by petition, or communion prayer, one for the masses, the other way for his closest followers. The kind of prayer we offer, petition or communion, depends on your state of consciousness and understanding of divine principle.
  All prayer is good; however, not all forms of prayer are equally effective. Petition prayer always asks God for something. Communion prayer is two-way sharing, talking and listening. The prefix, “com,” means “with,” and the root, “union,” means “united.” Communion prayer is our only means of becoming unified, united with God, as opposed to being divided by self. Our unification with God is possible only when we listen to God, rather than to self.
  Viewed candidly and without self-defense, we offer most petition prayers strictly from a point of self. In petition prayer, we tell God what we want, what we think we or others need or should have, and instruct Him about how He should fulfill our will and desires according to a plan we have imagined. Self views everything – the world, people, situations and events – according to the truth of appearances, which are usually deceiving. This is why most people cannot understand or perceive the answer to prayer when it arrives.
  God does not operate according to the truth of appearances, but works and answers all prayers according to the truth of reality. If you do not perceive reality, you cannot perceive the answer to prayer. In petition prayer, we project our will and desires onto God. Since we are so virtuous and our motives are good, we believe that He will automatically agree with us. However, for our prayer to be effective, we must agree with God, adjust to reality, and cease to argue with our Creator and His laws.
  Logic is the fundamental science of thought, our means of distinguishing correct from incorrect reasoning. Incorrect reasoning wants to argue with God and to dispute law. “Logic opens as a faculty,” Edna Lister said, “when we meet an unchangeable principle or fact that we cannot alter or interpret to suit our theories, or to justify our actions or statements.” Law is unchangeable principle. We may not alter it in any way, but may only obey or disobey law.
  Prayer is an intensely personal matter; no two people pray the same way, nor should anyone expect them to. Authors have written whole books on prayer, yet still people ask, “How should I pray?” The question they really are asking is: Why does God answer some prayers and not others? They don’t understand. They really want to know why their prayers are going unanswered.
  When you do not understand something, and repeatedly fail to comprehend explanations, you are probably applying incorrect reasoning, not logic. Then you usually ask the wrong questions. The simplistic answer on how to pray is the “Our Father” (Matthew 6:5-15), which is how Jesus taught the multitudes, 2,000 years ago. Petition prayer is good and it comforts most people. Yet we want to know how to be effective in prayer, how to avoid any pitfalls, and how to recognize the answer to prayer. Let’s examine what the Master Teacher said about prayer:
  First, he said, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to the mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart; but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”–Mark 11:22-23. So faith is the first key. You must have faith, which means that you must be faithful to God in prayer. To have faith, you must be faithful. Forego the petition prayer of the masses and begin practicing communion prayer, which is the soul’s ongoing dialogue with God.
  If you only go to God in prayer when you want something, need something or are afraid, you are a petition pray-er. Like a beggar seeking a handout, you will experience shame, guilt and embarrassment because here you are again, asking something for not much.
  Belief is the first baby step in building the very large soul faculty of faith, which is absolute trust. Belief can occupy any degree—ice cold, lukewarm, or hotter than a star. If you believe that God is like most of the people you know, who are trustworthy only “most of the time,” “sometimes” or “now and then,” then doubts, soft and spongy, riddle your belief. Basing your prayers on wishy-washy belief will produce results only “most of the time” or “sometimes” or “now and then.”
  If you are on fire with belief that God will answer your prayer, then He will. “I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”–Mark 11:24. This is where belief moves into the white-hot stage of the truth of reality. This is the beginning of true faith, which is a perfectly fervent expectancy that God will send the Light to manifest as the answer to your declarations of absolute faith.
  Perfect and absolute are superlative words that describe a state of soul-knowing that is firmly established on God’s foundation principles, such as truth, beauty, goodness, honor, loyalty and integrity. When you climb in consciousness to the realm of the Absolute, God knows that you have stopped being a beggar with a tin cup, and have instead taken up your true and royal heritage as a Son or Daughter of the Most High.
  The truth of appearances is always lying to you, telling you that your glass is half empty, seducing you to see only the lacks and the negatives, or what’s wrong with the world and your life. The truth of reality is always there, just waiting for you to look and really “see” that your glass is full. The Kingdom is already yours. Everything you could ever need is just waiting for you to see it and declare that it is manifest now.
  So, you say, “I have done that, and it isn’t working for me.” It isn’t working because you are standing in the way of its reflection. This is how you “see”: Stand in the Silence, and offer unceasing praise, not petitions; you must move past the petitions. If your thoughts turn to your need, you have descended in consciousness and must climb on praise again. Climb until the doubts, fears and ideas of lack no long enter your mind. Be prepared to climb a thousand times, if necessary. Absolute persistence, which is faithfulness in prayer, is the attitude it takes to reach the state of communion prayer.
  When you are fully in communion with God, you are united with Him in consciousness. This is God consciousness, not just thinking about God or how much you love Him. That is a lesser degree of faith, and is insufficient for miracles. In true God consciousness, you experience no sense of separation from Him. You’ve left the truth of appearances behind to dwell in this high state of being within the truth of reality.
  God consciousness is cosmic or Christed consciousness, where you surrender all self, all thoughts of the world, and your very soul to the divine truth that God Is All that Is. In this state, you are the perfect instrument for the Creator and Maintainer of All. Here, you are God as you, not God and you. The Christed consciousness of God is silent, absolutely silent. Only at this high degree can our Creator project His solutions onto the mirror of your receptive mind. In this place, you may not project, or you will fall from grace. In this place you may be receptive only.
  We all think in symbols, not in words. If you see the answer, it may appear as a symbol or unfold as a movie. If you hear words, beware—you are not high enough in consciousness and must begin your climb again. Words are not enough. Words are not the answers to communion prayer, but to petition prayer, which is why so many can hear what they believe or only hope is the answer.
  Let’s examine why hearing words, a voice, is not enough: A voice can come from anywhere, high or low, and it can come from any number of sources. You could be listening to your self, the voice of your innermost desires. That would be imagination, which is cheating you of reality and truth. Many beings populate the universe, and not all of them have a Christed agenda. To whom are you listening, if you cannot “see” them? If you do see a figure, a person, then you must know that you are not seeing God, for no human has seen God at any time (John 1:18).
  Here’s how to discern the real answer to prayer: First, keep your eyes open. It may take months or years of practice not to be visually distracted. Gaze at a plain wall, preferably white or some very pale color. When you see or perceive white Light, you are close. If all you can discern is absolutely blinding white Light, like the light of a billion suns filling your mind and erasing your field of view, you have arrived. Then the answer will unfold itself, just like a time-lapse film of a rose unfolding from bud to full-bloom. You “see” the answer, from start to perfect finish, and you know it’s true.
  You “see” the true answer to prayer, just as described here. You will not “think,” “believe,” or “wonder” if it is true. You will know the truth and the truth will make you so free that the perfect declaration will unfold within your personal portion of the divine Mind. The Light of the Living God will fill you until the perfect miracle declaration flows from you as the Word, which the substance of your perfect love of God shall absolutely make flesh. You will know the End from the Beginning, and be in communion with God!
  “You now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. And in that day you will ask me nothing.”–John 16:22. This is perfect communion prayer, as the Master described it. Communion prayer flows from the fount of joy within the soul. Because you still have sorrow, because you may still believe your glass is only half full, the Christed One has given you this bond: “Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.”–John 16:24-25. This pledge, which the Christ gave us, is our guarantee that God will answer our prayers, in time. How long it takes for that answer to manifest is up to you.
  “Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”–Mark 11:25-26. These verses tell us clearly how we block the answer to our prayers. If you do not forgive, the answer cannot come. This is law. You have invested soul substance in whatever or whomever you have not forgiven, substance which must be freed to open your Oversoul Star storehouse of Light. Our Father is waiting for us to forgive and to forget everything but Him. Jesus forgave those who crucified him while they were still crucifying him. God is waiting for us to be Christlike.
  “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name.”–John 16:25. The Christ no longer speaks to us in figurative language. Today he is telling us plainly about the Father. We now have the instructions, the guide book, the map for reaching the highest White Silence, which lies beyond the Golden Silence. He awaits you there!

Divide or Multiply?

Linda Mihalic, Pentecost, June 4, 2006, Cleveland, Ohio, Mark 3:13-26, Acts 2:1-4

  “And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house. And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.”–Mark 3:13-26
  “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”–Acts 2:1-4.

  This text from the Gospel of Mark includes many topics: A list of the disciples whom Jesus called to service; the startling report that his own people claimed he was “out of his mind”; the scribes from Jerusalem accusing him of being possessed by the demon Beelzebub, Jesus’ rebuttal to them; finally, the story of his family attempting to lay claim to him and how he handled that appeal.

To understand this, we need more than the bare words on a page. We need the background and context. Our information about the Gospel writer Mark comes from Eusebius Pamphilus1 of Caesarea, quoting Papias, Bishop of Heliopolis: “Mark, who had indeed been Peter’s interpreter, accurately wrote as much as [Peter] remembered…about that which was either said or done by the Lord.”
  Papias’ original writings have been lost, so we have only Eusebius’ written opinion (ibid.). Each must decide if this “hearsay” is valid. The First Epistle of Peter 5:13 mentions Mark as “my son,” though some Bible scholars argue that this proves nothing, so again we must choose what we wish to believe.
  Most Bible scholars generally agree that the Gospel of Mark was written between 60-80 A.D., making it the earliest of the Gospels to be recorded. Mark is probably retelling the stories he heard from Peter, the disciple. This is our background. The context of this Scripture requires that we read the Gospel of Mark from its beginning. It includes a story of Jesus casting out an unclean spirit (Mark 1:23-27), and describes how he cast out “many demons” (Mark 1:32, 34, 39).
  The people all talked about what they had seen, so “immediately his fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee” (Mark 1:28). In Capernaum, “the whole city was gathered together at the door” of Peter’s house, because Jesus was there (Mark 1:33).
  Those whom Jesus healed became his publicity agents. The leper he healed “went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to him from every direction” (Mark 1:45).
  The second chapter of Mark is much like the first: Miracles abounded and the crowd followed him everywhere. Yet it records that Jesus violated the man-made Sabbath laws by healing the sick and permitting his disciples to pick grain. He forgave the paralytic’s sins and healed him, returned to Capernaum, and ate dinner with tax collectors and sinners.
  In short, Jesus performed hundreds of miracles while he broke dozens of man-made rules and flouted convention. He was not “politically correct.” He thrilled and delighted the common people with hope, and horrified and angered the establishment with the threat of change.
    Chapter three begins with the story of Jesus’ healing a man’s withered hand, publicly, on the Sabbath and in the synagogue. His actions were utterly provocative:
  “And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.”–Mark 3:1-5, he healed the man’s hand.
  “And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him.”–Mark 3:6-7. Jesus had successfully polarized public opinion and prejudice, both for and against him. This is our background for what followed. Jesus was an iconoclast, defined as someone who “attacks cherished beliefs, traditional institutions, etc., as based on error or superstition.” Jesus never attacked the true Law, given by God to Moses, but the nitpicking rules, created by generations of opinion and prejudice, angered him.
  Truth is always the casualty of opinion and prejudice. Most of what people believe about God and His Law is not much more than opinion and prejudice, which they automatically accept as the truth, without thought. From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus worked to tear down the veils of opinion and prejudice in consciousness to reveal the simple truth of God’s Law and Love again.
  A greatlaw says, “Light forever adds and multiplies the good; darkness forever subtracts and divides the good.” We must reexamine that law in light of Jesus’ divisive acts as outlined in Mark. We are never in doubt about our need to add and multiply the Light in our lives, our loved ones, friends and the world. We know the need is always for more.
  Flawed desires, thinking and imagination is the breeding grounds for opinion and prejudice. Division is our problem in consciousness. We must subtract what divides the good, and add what multiplies the good, just as Jesus did. Let us examine how he did it.
  Jesus divided the worldly elements from his desires, thinking and imagination to become “a strong man.” We know this from the laws he taught: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”–Matthew 6:21, refers to our desires. We treasure what we desire, and believe that what we desire is a treasure. He taught Laws of thinking also, and because he had divided self from his thinking, he knew others’ thoughts; he could hear them. Jesus had purged his imagination of worldly influence, and the proof is in the clarity of his parables, word-pictures that inspire or increase imagination of the good.
  Jesus knew what his mission encompassed and how much he had to do. If he had simply come and preached “God is love,” he would have accomplished little. Ministers, rabbis and priests by the thousands do this weekly, yet greed, war and strife fill our news, not stories about how God’s love is healing the world. Jesus knew that he had to be bold and aggressive in his approach for the world to remember his message. He had to inspire the masses, arouse their desires into action, and he had to annoy, alienate and estrange himself from the establishment, angering their conservatism into action, which would lead to his Crucifixion.
  These actions were part of his Master Plan for the Crucifixion, Resurrection and the Ascension. The Resurrection is how he taught us to divide ourselves from everything that binds us to earth and its worldly illusions. With his Ascension, he taught us to multiply the Light within us greatly enough to go Home.
  How did those who loved him react when he put his plan into action? His friends said, “He is out of his mind.” His detractors said he was an agent of Beelzebub, the devil, which provoked him to reply, “Assuredly, I say to you…he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.” The Holy Spirit is the substance of truth, undifferentiated universal Light, with no individualized name or number. Having reacted to his message from opinion and prejudice, the self-righteous Pharisees invoked eternal condemnation upon their own heads, and Jesus spoke the word for this.
  His family, pleading for his attention, tried to call him away from his mission. He publicly insulted and humiliated them by using their plea as a lesson: He remained with the people he was teaching and said, “Who is my mother, or my brothers?” He looked around in a circle at those who sat about him, and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and mother.” In effect, he said that his spiritual family was those who listened to and accepted his message.
  Most people are not ready for Crucifixion or Resurrection, never mind Ascension. Most attend religious services and spiritual classes because they know that something is missing from their lives. When they hear the message of truth, which tells them to crucify self, resurrect their half-dead soul and ascend, they say, “Who, me?” Or, like the Pharisees they are, they become angry when told they need to do more than just talk about it. A good spiritual teacher often makes people angry.
  When a minister or teacher offends anyone’s self-righteousness smugness, calls them on their hypocrisy, or informs them that their yesterday’s worn-out best is just not good enough for tomorrow, the murmuring gossip, resentment, intolerance and anger start smoldering. In most congregations, they fire the minister or rabbi and hire a new one, who will flatter them with praise for at least a year. Jesus made people “see” themselves and all their faults in his parables and teaching. The scribes and Pharisees, who composed the Temple Council, could not fire Jesus, and they could not control him, so they killed him. They would do so again today.
  Jesus came to earth to encompass the Seven Degrees of Initiation within a single earth life to show us how to do it. When you read the Gospels carefully, devotionally and open to the Light, you find the evidence of what you must be and do to complete the Seven Degrees. The Via Christa is a hard Path; nothing about it is easy. Grade school is easy, middle school is, and high school. The Adept goes to college, improving his adept skills while earning higher degrees. Most people today spend the bulk of their lives stagnating on the Adept Degree.
  Few are the Mystics, who commune with God directly. Most who pray do so to tell God what they want and what they think He should do. Then they imagine that He agrees with them while telling them how wonderful they are. That is not prayer. True prayer is utterly unselfish giving, and letting, an indrawing and outpouring of the Light and love freed by the soul’s upward reach for God. This is true multiplication of Light and love.
  The Master is both responsible and accountable. Jesus was. His last speech in the Gospel of John records how he accounted to the Father, “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”–John 17:12. Business and political adepts today spout how they are responsible for what went wrong, but rarely do they want to be held accountable. You are accountable for your every thought, word and deed, and Law permits no excuses. If you said it, you said it. If you did it, you did it. Each must crucify the self, which is the work of the Master; otherwise the self will crucify you!
  The Priest serves. Most people do for others to get what they want, or to be thought wonderful by those they wish to impress. That is not service, but self-serving. The true Priest heals, as Jesus did. We can cast out a demon of self by unveiling it to the Light, but no one, not even Jesus, could prevent someone from clasping it back again. Healing is Resurrection, the work of a Priest, not an Adept. Finally we arrive at the Christos Degree, where we must surrender all of the self. What does that mean? How does that look? Edna Lister never taught a thorough study of the Christos Degree. She did not have the time since she was struggling to live it.
  Here are some tips on how to walk the Via Christa, while earning the Christos Degree: Self is an illusion, as is the world; we divide it from our soul. This is hard work. Nothing may be more important to us than God. If God is not first in our life, we will be last in line in heaven.
  You must cast out all your false gods, those worldly things that seem so very important—clothes, cars, money, praise, approval and the good opinion of others. Stop worshiping the world. Clean up your thoughts and words, for the mind you use to think them, their substance and the power you use in broadcasting them is God’s Mind, Substance and Power, not ours. God’s name is on every life spark; do not take it in vain.
  Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Beyond that, maintain silence unless asked.
  Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, wholly devoted to God. The Sabbath is the time set aside for Light to refresh and rejuvenate your soul. Thus, Light multiplies the good in you. Otherwise, the world divides your consciousness and creeps in to own you again.
  Honor the principles of Wisdom and Love to consciously live by them during the week. Read, study and learn, which are actions that multiply the Light within you. Watching TV divides your consciousness and enthrones the world, its illusions and conflicts as the centerpiece of your mental life.
  You may not murder any positive virtue, nor another’s good name. Murder is the worst form of dividing yourself or another from the Light. Yet you can and must murder the deceit, lies and treachery of the world and of the self, wherever you find such, by saying, “This is good! Let there be Light!”
  You may not adulterate your mind, body or soul, your desires, imagination or thinking, nor another’s. People do this often; we call it influencing opinion, putting spin on a topic, false claims and exaggeration. Most advertising is absolute adulteration of truth.
  You may not steal time or effort, yours or another’s, for anything of the world. When you understand that God is time and God is the effort you use, we will value these things more highly. What you choose to spend time doing, what you apply our efforts to will either multiply or divide the Light moving through.
  You may not lie, especially to yourself, not for a second. When you catch yourself or another in the act of lying, remember to declare, “This is good! Let there be Light!” God will tell us when to say more than this. Only fools lie or entertain lies, which is the province of Belial, the “prince of this world.”
  You may not covet anything of this world. “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”–Matthew 6:21. Coveting is the worst drag anchor on the soul. It stifles creativity, distorts imagination, twists thinking, and perverts desire into an obsession. Covetousness breeds greed, envy, jealousy, resentment and hatred. These taints will kill a soul.
  Multiplication is increase, but division is decrease. The world is living by polarization, division into factions, sects, opinions, prejudices, into haves and have-nots, into I’m right and you’re wrong. The Via Christa is the Path from division into multiplication of the Light within you.
  Many people do nothing to change the world because they do not know where to begin. The Elect should, but only a few do: Begin with casting out your own demons of self; heal your own paralyzed will and withered soul by declaring, “I am healed. I am good. I am Light.”
  The Elect are supposed to follow the Master all the way, not just to the nearest oasis to rest. Do not hang onto his coat tails and expect him or another to drag you along. When you do just enough to get by, you are a thief-in-the-making, expecting his or another’s efforts to save you and make up for your lack.
  Jesus’ mission was to become the Christ, which released enough Power to open the Gates of Light in the wall surrounding the world. He freed the souls within the world, and preached a purified version of God’s message of Law and Love. He cleaned up the mess. The world is a mess again, but this time our task is to do the cleanup, by talking as he talked and walking as he walked, in truth and Light. You can, if you choose, stop talking about it and begin walking the Via Christa today.
  Take one true step onto the Path, and the Light moving through you shall multiply infinitely. Speak the Word and let Light heal every soul on this planet. Multiplication of Light begets unity of consciousness, which is syzygy. This is how to be One with God.
  Today is Pentecost, and we are gathered “with one accord in one place.” The Divine Fire has descended and now fills Terrah. Add your voices to the Legions gathered above, and multiply God’s Love and Light for the world. Let there be Light!
