Whether you see it or not, this world is in the hands of the hand that is coming from beneath the earth. Just think of all the acts of will that are occurring as they never have occurred before on this planet where young children and adults commit unbelievable acts and then say, \u201cI have no idea what came over me.\u201d This is what came over them: through years of abuse by a planet filled with people who don\u2019t care, and through years of refusing the tiny moments when their Father did place His hand in theirs, they have reached the point where they can\u2019t recognize the difference between the hand that wants to pull them down, and the hand that wants to lift them up. And once you come to the point where you can no longer tell the difference \u2014 you\u2019re a goner.<\/p>\n
But to know the difference costs something, doesn\u2019t it? It means we have to work when we would really prefer not to be bothered. We want to feel pleasure with no disturbance, but that\u2019s spiritual and psychological sleep. Christ said, \u201cWatch,\u201d meaning, \u201cBe awake.\u201d When he cautioned people to \u201cbe awake\u201d he was telling them to see whose hand they were holding. Your Father\u2019s hand not only doesn\u2019t let you go to sleep, it lifts you. The hand from beneath not only puts you to sleep, but it does it faster and faster, so that one day you won\u2019t even know that your hand was held fast in that descending hand.<\/p>\n
Stay awake, regardless of what it seems to cost you. Remember to do this exercise: Come awake every moment and ask yourself: \u201cIn whose hand is mine?\u201d When you\u2019re driving your car or sitting in a business meeting, ask yourself: \u201cIn whose hand is mine?\u201d The moment you become aware of yourself and ask the question, you will know which spirit just possessed you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
