I Open the Door of My Consciousness and Welcome the Divine Guest Behold, I stand at the door and knock. —REVELATION 3:20     "The healing Christ comes with directness into the mind of all who receive Him. This Christ is the incarnation of God in the individual soul. Spirit has imparted Itself to all persons. This divine incarnation, this living Presence at the center of our being is Christ, the soul of every living person. We do not will this Presence into existence, nor do we by declaration, affirmation, or demand command It. We do not court It by false humility nor engage Its attention merely by admiration. The Presence—the Power—is already there. It is willingness, acceptance, and recognition that gives entrance to the Divine Presence. It is faith and acknowledgment that permit Its creative power to flow through our word. Therefore, “I lift up mine eyes unto the hills [the Divine Presence within me] from whence cometh my strength.”

I will look long and earnestly, sincerely and simply upon every object and every person until this Presence is revealed. I will wait at the doorway of my expectation until my acceptance grants my mind the privilege of “beholding God’s face forevermore.” But I will not wait too long, for today I expect to see God’s shining Presence revealed. Today I expect to don the seamless robe of Divine union. Today the most High is revealed in my life.”
