Looking for Truth in All the Wrong Places
Hello Beloved One,
Answers to unsettling questions, resolve in everyday challenges and guidance through seemingly impossible life circumstances…
Be guided by the ageless wisdom given in the teachings of Eternal Truth.
The inspired documents of eternal Truth teachings are so much more that what is often literally interpreted and taught. Given to all humankind, and not particular to any one religion, philosophy or teaching, you will find the wisdom of universal principles woven through them all.
Contained within the texts is the wisdom to address your deepest spiritual needs, and the guidance for your soul that reveals a more grace filled life.
“Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.” – John 8:32
“The nature of the world is such that it will produce evidence to our senses that will prove validity of whatever it is we believe, whether it is the Truth or not. When our beliefs are in alignment with Truth, they will always produce a greater freedom in our experience of life. When our beliefs are not in alignment with Truth, they will produce the experience of limitation and suffering. Consequently, it is imperative that we test our belief systems to ensure that they are in conformance with Spiritual Truth. Therein lies freedom.” ~Rev. Lloyd Strom, “What’s the Truth?” See linked worksheet.
Your old belief system will not stop operating in you until you find it and replace it with a belief anchored in Truth.
All belief systems are expressed as habitual thoughts, opinions and feelings, which manifest as and in your experience of life.
The simplicity of “The Truth Test” is to use the situations of challenge and suffering that you are facing as a way to look deeper into your soul.
Read What’s the Truth and complete The Truth Test worksheet linked below. Both worksheets were created by Revs. Lloyd Strom and Marcia Sutton for Graceful Ways.
Write down your belief about the situation you are facing and Ask the Big Question, “If this were True for me, would I be more Free?”
Can you see what you are believing in?
Are you free?
To change the old belief system, you need to find the Truth.
To find the Truth:
Decide what quality of God or Good you want to experience. (ie. Love, joy, freedom, wisdom etc.)
Find that word in the Bible concordance which lists all the scriptures in which that word appears.
Read through those scriptures to see if there is one that speaks to your heart and brings you hope about your situation.
Now, take the scripture you found and run it through “The Truth Test.”
If you answer the big question YES, then personalize the scripture, and memorize it. Begin to say and pray it frequently especially when you think about the old situation.
Example
Situation I am facing-the Government owes Marc and I a lot of money.
The belief I have about the situation-They are crooks and I will never be paid! 😜 Hidden error belief is lack. I am definitely NOT free!
Quality of God I want to experience-Freedom!
Changeless Principle of Truth-It is written in Acts 2:21 “And everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be liberated into God’s Freedom and Peace.”
I have personalized this and every time I think about the Government or that money I speak out loud “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I give thanks that I am living in the Freedom and Peace of God.”
Release the “clinging claws” of resistance, and begin to make that shift from seeking truth from others and your world. Find the ageless wisdom of guidance that is waiting for you to discover it in the living teachings of changeless principles of Truth.
First taught to perceive with your senses, and develop the ability to reflect on experiences truly brought wonderful insights, understandings and connections.
Not finding answers to today’s challenges is not to despair, but to awaken to the invitation to know the eternal Truth for you in a greater way.
You have the choice and power to use and apply principles of Truth to discover what you realize is IN you. Through your personal daily spiritual practice find the higher reality of Spirit to embody the Truth in your soul.
You will find a deep reservoir of Wisdom always available to you if look for it.
If you seek Truth from the sources of the teachings of Eternal Wisdom, the holy vibration of transmission will always bring divine revelation. An intuitive knowing within you receives answers. When applied, you develop a character of faith and a life of greater Grace.
What a Blessing!
Love,
Catherine
