There are no lost sheep because Christ searches for them and helps them out of the belief of being lost. Christ is here, all dreams of error breaking, unloosing bonds of all captivity.
This podcast cannot grow as there is one Voice, God. The word of Christ shall not pass away. These words have nothing in Christ, they cannot stand. Jesus’ words “still live, and to-morrow speak louder than to-day.” (Mis 99:19)
On the internet, we have all kinds of examples of people leaving one group and finding another; angry over different experiences of their own or others. This stirring confusion of mortal mind is exposing itself. What is needed is a healing of hearts from divisive labels and demonizing another with different ideas. Love is there to meet it, to unify versus divide, respond with compassion versus judgment, find freedom versus enslavement—-mortal mind has no hold. Divine Mind forever holds us in our conscious identity as His own. We are given wisdom from on High to discern with our native spiritual qualities that are ever present, as Principle’s idea, to see through the lie as Truth’s honest child. Divine Mind is ever awakening us to let go of error.
Mis 31:17-18, mental malpractice is the opportunity to face down and relinquish the belief of evil presented to our thought.
These things cease to be when they cease to bless. Father, heal hearts to give us peace -– praying to know God’s love is with us all. Help us as a church receive the blessing of loving those whose hearts need healing, and reconcile with or forgive each other. Help us take up the cross of this hour with calm resolve, expectant patience, spiritual love and unshaken joy within.
The gentle voice of the Mother Love came one morning, “Keep your thoughts on Me regarding all this.”
“All souls are mine as the soul of the parent, the soul of the child is mine.” The Mother Love is the only source and relationship to be felt by parent and child.
At a Wednesday night Testimony meeting, I prayed to have only the true witness of everyone I saw through the risen Christ, also in the community. That every word from the pastor heals. Declaring our churches are healing places and no impositions could rest upon them.

Part 2, Addressing the imposition of the current WatchWords: Christian Science practice includes blaming the sick – the false sense that sickness is the individual’s fault for not thinking correctly or trying hard enough.
Obviously healing is a change of thought, but mortal mind cannot use this to turn the changing of thought against us. Healing, changing thought is all about awakening and newness. Our prayer and practice is not convincing or blaming our fellow children of God, but healing is a call for God’s love and our reflection of that Love.
One of the repetitive comments in the podcasts has been that if you are healed you don’t get the credit but if you are not, you get all the blame. As I was praying about this, the thought came to me that we don’t personalize truth, so we don’t personalize error either. There is only reflection, no separate personal error or truth.
Modern psychology abuse words like shaming, gas lighting and trauma cannot be attached to Love’s gift to humanity. Mind alone communicates Her own revelation and the understanding and practice of it must reflect it.
Father, help us lift the practice of CS from personal sense to divine Mind, spiritual sense, the spirit of Christ. God is not going to hand over His healing power to us as His reflection nor is He ever going to hand it over to human will -– the personal sense belief of not trying hard enough. Error is an impersonal lie, imposing itself on Truth; we all are of Truth.

ACOM sharing about imposition above:
Praying about the three translations of mortal mind from SH (115-116). First degree is double vision or division/divided vision. Second degree is revision. Third degree is supervision – God’s vision, God is watching over and supplying right ideas no matter who we think we are; or provision, God is providing just the right thoughts and comfort that heals.
What would I do if I wasn’t afraid? What does Love look like?
When people are healed, God, not person, is praised.
No other mind to tempt, to harm, or to control man.
Christian Science is the only available resource that gets away from a belief system to understanding.
Article by Elise Moore online for Martin Luther King day called “Hate met with Love.”
Don’t work against error but feel the Love that dissolves it. We are not focusing on the adamant of error but the dissolving of Love.
No one is outside the fold, see them in the fold.
“Nothing is more disheartening than to believe that there is a power opposite to God, or good, and that God endows this opposing power with strength to be used against Himself, against Life, health, harmony.” (Science and Health 380:28)
Rather than see someone as needing a healing, this is a distraction, a claim to distract us; our job is to stay with the Truth. There is no power opposite of God.
Man cannot be deceived nor mock God, nor tricked in any way to believe a lie about God or Christian Science.
John 9 – When the disciples asked who is to blame for the man being born blind, Jesus said, “Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” The Message Bible translates, “You’re asking the wrong question. You’re looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do.” (Casting out the belief of blame)
SH 574: 27-30, “The very circumstance which your suffering sense deems wrathful or afflictive, Love can make an angel entertained unawares.” Look for the angels. What is God doing.
Like Mary trusted Joseph had his own angel. My job is to get out of the way so they can hear God, Mind. There is nobody that is not the perfect ray of light of the one Father.
This is a lie in a different set of clothing and has no more power or can make us fearful than any other lie. The dreamer isn’t real either. We see what God sees. Separate person from personal sense. Depth of Love (February Journal) “seeing our fellow man as God sees them is the highest sense of Love.” No fear because there is no Truth in it.
Don’t personalize false ideas; keep personality out of sight.
God puts His sheep back in the fold, especially those that run away. Doesn’t let them stay away.
We all have the power to be attracted to the Truth, to know and think rightly and we can embrace the three different audiences here — Christian Scientists, the people doing the podcasts, the audience. This echo chamber of hearing mortal stories to find satisfaction or for closure is mortal mind keeping us in its own picture by rehearsing it. Ruminating brings us in the court of error; divine Science lifts this off God’s child and brings them in the Court of Spirit.

Part 4: Email received:
Professor Bart Ehrman commented, in several of his books on Christianity, on losing his faith. Clearly it was a deeply painful experience, and he desperately wanted to keep the pure and very comforting sense of belief in orthodox Christian teachings. His honest comments reflect some of the feelings that I’ve seen in a few former Christian Scientists – a sense of genuine loss….Was it Diana who told about her daughter as a high school student repeatedly searching for the naughty sheep that kept wandering off and getting dirty; that was so touching and meaningful. God loves all His sheep!
