Pray unceasingly by your attentive communion upon the Life of the Father.
This kind of Prayerful Intimacy Communion generates a new direction and purpose. A purity of motivation develops. A priority of intention unfolds in those individuals who grow through praiseful adoration and unselfish giving of themselves to the Individualized Life.
Remain in stillness .. in silent receptivity .. giving ample opportunities to afford thine indwelling spirit to reach you .. to speak to you .. to heighten thine listening and receiving soul by its eternalizing power of grace.
The spirit life of the Father speaks best to you when your human mind fosters an attitude of ascendancy .. true worship .. quiet and praiseworthy love .. unselfish acknowledgment of the indwelling Life .. and the daily and hourly reciprocal exchange .. the righteously motivated sharing of thine mortality with the Father's immortality.
Worship the Lord thy God by the guidance of the Father’s indwelling spirit .. by thine personal and directly intimate communion .. by the gradually transforming illumination of thine human intellectual mind engaged within the Spirit of Truth.
Worship raises you towards the ideal of your worship. You become that ideal as you concentrate steadily upon him.
Worship by your faith and trust in the goodness of God is a powerfully transforming experience .. a renewing splendor .. thine finite status progressively .. gradually .. indescribably .. approaches God in you .. and eventually attains to the presence of his glory.
You touch the Father's Infinite Kingdom, and his Sovereignty .. his Generosity .. his Grace .. the Majesty of his Love .. touches you forever.
(1638.3) 146:2.3 2. That prayer which is inconsistent with the known and established laws of God is an abomination to the Paradise Deities.
If man will not listen to the Gods as they speak to their creation in the laws of spirit, mind, and matter, the very act of such deliberate and conscious disdain by the creature turns the ears of spirit personalities away from hearing the personal petitions of such lawless and disobedient mortals.
Jesus quoted to his apostles from the Prophet Zechariah: “But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears that they should not hear.
Yes, they made their hearts adamant like a stone, lest they should hear my law and the words which I sent by my spirit through the prophets; therefore did the results of their evil thinking come as a great wrath upon their guilty heads.
And so it came to pass that they cried for mercy, but there was no ear open to hear.”
And then Jesus quoted the proverb of the wise man who said: “He who turns away his ear from hearing the divine law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.”
