My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 296 for October 21, 2024. The SPIRIT that embodies the Voice of God and the WHOLE of His Son resides in you and uses your voice to testify of both when you accept the Atonement and release the belief in separation from God.

The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.

* The SPIRIT that embodies the Voice of God and the WHOLE of His Son resides in you and uses your voice to testify of both when you accept the Atonement and release the belief in separation from God.

1. The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice, and hear Your Word through me.

* This is NOT a JOKE or something to be ‘embarrassed’ about. It is the truth.

²I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours, and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true.

* This is my prayer though I may make mistakes AND I am only able to speak of what I understand at the moment and what the ‘world at large’ that I am speaking to IS WILLING TO HEAR OR ALLOW TO BE SAID.

³I would be savior to the world I made.

* Yes, by acknowledging God and His Son.

⁴For having damned it I would set it free, that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.

* I participated (or seemed to) in the belief in separation from God and I now deny that as a reality with all of my being.

2. We teach today what we would learn, and that alone.

* AMEN. The ONE THING that I want to BE TRUE IS THAT GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS.

²And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment.

* YES!

³How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell, when we allow His teaching to persuade the world, through us, to seek and find the easy path to God.

* It recently occurred to me that perhaps instead of saying “WHOLE” Spirit or WHOLLY Spirit (or that gawd awful “Holy” Spirit), perhaps the TRUTH is simply “the SPIRIT within you.” That which tells you that you are Loved by God and Part of the Whole Sonship that is Christ. HMMM!

* May we each FIND GOD SOONER THAN LATER!

Till next time, God bless, debi.
