It Never Fails
FEBRUARY 13, 1980, 6:00 AM
This is truth, o son. It is put in a kind of objective, impersonal sense… “it” never fails. Say it “He never fails” or “The Spirit never fails” for truth that is more full. Or leave it as “It never fails”, meaning this time of dedication to Me. Some days do not begin as promptly, but your (actually, Our) observation recently is correct: It is difficult to select writings that are clearly outstanding… because each has something of real value.
So, this “process” never fails – never has and never will. You shall come when your spirit yearns, and you shall come when I draw you here. The results shall be indistinguishable. This is now (please be more careful… you are making mistakes today) established as a continuing “course” called “The Spirit Speaks”. Yes, it is available to some others, but not many have the combination of knowledge of My ways, dedication, and writing ability that you have. Each is an important ingredient. Now I could speak to someone with no developed expertise in writing, and what We would produce would be a miracle, truly. I prefer to work in more “natural” ways, using talents already developed… particularly those honed over lifetimes.
Your statement to Lenore yesterday was rather spontaneous, yet it represents some growth of which you should become more conscious. You said you would spend some of the first of your sabbatical analyzing these writings. Nothing would put a firmer base on your later investigation than the principles and truths (and Truths) you can draw from these well-springs.
Consider also that other thought you’ve had this week… that of analyzing the Scriptures in relation to the various dimensions of health… or, perhaps, your well-springs. You would learn much from these exercises in Spirit-led scholarship, and I’ll say it again, it would forge a solid base for your interviews later. A much better balance than just running off and wildly interviewing.
You have felt, rightly, that this sabbatical time should be more a time of rest and recuperation than one of busy study. Now you are beginning to see the better balance – rest and work with Me. An ultimate blessing upon your health and well-being, and an important boost to the scholarship you shall exhibit “for Me”.
This process never fails, but it does and shall vary in intensity. There will be times when you shall not hear clearly; other times will show forth a discomforting blankness. But, you remember the term from Don and Jim and it truly fits here: Trust the Process. It is a “winner” for the increase of wisdom and stature.
Your start of this page is an evidence of faith. You knew that there must be this third page, and yet it also seems that the title has been fulfilled. Nothing more is evident, but it seems important to write on. It is only out of such faith that some of My teachings may be available to you. Show the faith. Go beyond what your mind hears at the moment. March forth into the dark abyss, and light shall shine forth… the light of revelation.
Why, people shall ask, should the Holy Spirit reveal to you Truth in this way? You can say that you were selected, surely… that you are ready in your spirit to hear and write My revelations… and, finally, that the Spirit works when, and where, and how, and with whom He chooses. You are no more and no less likely than many of My other chosen servants. Be proud, but be also humble.
Be careful and cautious in your sharing of these Teachings. You have done well thus far. You are not yet ready to have them rejected and criticized. That shall come, later, but you shall have incontrovertible personal evidence by then that It Never Fails. You have a pipeline. It is old truth, newly stated old truth, and, occasionally, something almost new. Trust and come. The Mind that is in Christ is also in you. What does that make you?
Shalom this winter day
