Sooner or Later...

Sooner or later it becomes necessary to take each truth that rings a
bell inside of you, and there are a lot of them, you know. You're
reading along, you're listening and it just hits you. You hear it and
something rings. It resonates within you and you know when the truth
resonates within you. You can feel it. There's this inner quickening.
When that happens, that truth /is for you/. It's for you right now. And
so take that truth into your meditation, into your contemplation. Mull
it over, look at it, feel it, sense it, ask God what it means, ask
Spirit to reveal the inner meaning, and then be quiet; be still. Create
an opening so God can happen in your meditation, and then you will know.
It will be revealed to you, what that truth means. When you get up from
your meditation, and go out into your daily life, practice what was
revealed to you, don't practice what was revealed to Joel. Don't
practice what was revealed to Bill, or Virginia, or Herb, or anybody
else. Practice what was revealed to *you* in your meditation, because
that was for *you*. Then when you've practiced that truth, and you have
practiced it for a while, that truth will become a working part of your
consciousness. And your awareness of that truth is the substance of the
new kingdom in which you will now be walking.
