Inner Light Ministries Podcast

Within each of us is a powerhouse of promise. No longer do we search the past for clues of our potential. No longer do we scan the future for hints of our possibility. We stand boldly in the awareness that our greatness simply IS. We reignite the kindling of compassion within us. We stir up the gifts of grace and gratitude. We expand our capacity for contribution, our receptivity to receive. We demonstrate daily the resiliency of the human spirit to rise to any occasion with dignity, respect, and generosity. Oneness envelops us; wholeness warms us from the inside out. © 2012 Inner Light Ministries

AFFIRMATIONS Life is full of opportunities awaiting our embrace. Each of us has much to share; our gifts are needed everywhere. True wealth is not in what we do, but in who we are.

AFFIRMATIONS: “Spirit is that something within us that never gives up hope.” Carolyn Myss This day I have the courage to rise above. No longer weighted by the cares of the world, I take flight to new dimensions. I remember that there is always more than what meets the eye. Never stuck on appearances, I perceive the greater trying to express itself. I release judgments and expectations. My soul is free to find its way beyond what has happened. I have dominion over my attitude and, therefore, my experience. I choose to stay upstairs in consciousness. I choose to be positive and affirming. © 2012 Inner Light Ministries

The circle of life has no ending so I can’t get stuck. It doesn’t matter how people treat me, it matters how I treat myself and how I treat others. I circulate love through the world effortlessly, because I know we’re all connected. The circulation of happiness will always come back to me. © 2012 Inner Light Ministries

Affirmation: The Goodness of Life is my life now. I show up this day with an open heart and an open mind. I show up this day with open arms ready to receive. The Spirit of the Living God goes before me making the rough places smooth and the crooked places straight. I graciously yield to it. I know that something great, grand, and glorious unfolds in my life today. Every fiber of my being is alive with enthusiasm and joyous expectancy. I give thanks for the renewal of my Spirit. I shine brightly illuminating everything and everyone that I meet.

Affirmation: Life is in a constant process of renewing itself. Every winter is followed by the spring. The bird knows its song regardless of the season. My heart is always in full blossom, finding nourishment wherever I am. Healing never has to be coerced for it’s the natural order of things. As I proclaim worthiness and value in all things, I enable them to transform. I have the patience to await the ripening of my inner and outer fruits. I have the insight to replant, even as I harvest. My cup runs over and my soul is restored. All is well.

Affirmation: I live in a constant state of being renewed by Life’s Goodness. I build upon the rock, not shifting sand. People, places, and things come and go but Spirit is forever. “No longer tied to the things of this world, I know who I am in you. Resurrect me, Lord, this day as I die to my old ways. Resurrect me, Lord, this day as I die to my own ways. I let go of the fight and the struggle. I release my need to control. I have reached the eye of the storm. I am ready to be reborn.” -Resurrect Me by V.J. Fiddmont & Rev D L Johnson

The Love Ethic governs my life. I love God with all of my heart, strength, and all of my mind. I love myself and my neighbor as myself. I choose to love all "enemies" as my neighbor and myself. Love unifies all things. I do not slay the dragons, I befriend them as a part of myself. Shadow energy dissipates in the light of my embrace. None are expendable, all are redeemable. All mistakes fade into God. I courageously explore the foreign land of my own heart and mind. The "Holy Grail" that I seek is the Christ already within me. © 2011 Inner Light Ministries

Affirmation: Regardless of circumstances and conditions, I know that there is a blessing in everything. God is Good all of the time. Miracles large and small are occurring every day. I acknowledge the multitude of blessings too numerous to count. My very existence is a miracle for which I am eternally grateful. I am here by the Grace of God. If I had 10,000 tongues it just wouldn’t be enough to say “Thank you.” An attitude of gratitude is the antidote for most spiritual ailments. As gratitude increases, anxiety decreases. With every fiber of my being, I am grateful beyond measure

Spirit seeks to express itself in, through, and as me. The only love that I will ever know is the love that shines through me. The only joy that I will ever know is the joy that resonates in my heart. The only power that I will ever know is the power that I put into action. The river of life flows into the sea of all possibility. More than going with the flow, I am the current. God’s Grace is closer than hands and feet, nearer than my very breath. What I am looking for, I am looking with.

Grace is where my spoken and unspoken needs delight in God’s intentional provision. I am comforted by forces working together for my Good every minute of every day. There is so much more than what meets the eye. I move beyond the need to see it to believe it, for as I believe it I see it. When things are blocked, I boldly declare “Another Way!” I rest assured that there is always a way, whether I can see it in the moment or not. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

The Universe is friendly. We live in a vibratory field of Oneness and Unity. All things are conspiring together for our Good. Life wants us at our best. It rejoices in our well-being. We are intrinsically connected to the Divine. In God we live, move, and have our being. We are never alone. The Divine Presence expresses as us. We can never exist outside of it; the finite is always contained within the Infinite. To feel the Holy Spirit I need only embrace its presence. In the dark of the night, I courageously proclaim the Light. God is with us.

Life is lived one moment at a time. Each moment is rich and full of wonder. Life is a journey, a continuous arrival. There is no final destination, just the next leg of the journey. I gain the courage to live the next moment by facing the one I’m in. Daily spiritual practice expands my capacity to stay present. Even as I look forward to increasing clarity, I embrace the “not know.” Beginner’s mind affords me with new insights. My trust seasons as I surrender to what is. With a graciousness of heart, I am present to whatever is next.

I dedicate my life to being a vessel of Joy’s revelation. I choose to live in Oneness with life and the glorious ways it manifests. Walking in the glory of a Higher Truth, I allow the past to be a portal to deeper healing. I trade in attachments for transcendent awareness. I can see clearly that we are all a part of the Great I AM. Forgiveness washes away the mud and crud that camouflages the Truth. I willingly relinquish past perceptions for new perspectives. Unleashing my imagination from the confines of space and time it soars to new possibilities.

All things are working together for my Good right here and now. I live in a world of promise and possibility. My life is never defined by my circumstances. I am greater than the facts, more powerful than any condition. I have the courage to look through and beyond the appearances. I give myself permission to be joy-filled no matter what is going on. I allow my inner eye to guide me, my inner knower to teach me. Every day my grateful heart acknowledges blessings large and small. I remember to remember who I am as a spiritual being.

Faith is knowledge of, assent to, and confidence in certain Divine Truths, especially those that lead to Good works. Faith integrates our belief, acceptance, and trust. It is the power of belief itself that creates faith, not adherence to specific facts. There are things that I know in my bones which I cannot prove. I have the courage to step out on what I know. I refrain from judging by the appearances. Fear and doubt have no resting places within me. I am grounded, vibrant, enthusiastic, and aware. Faith lets us experience wholeness. Resting in faith we are secure. © 2012 Inner Light Ministries

Faith is where my intent partners with Divine Design. Something within me knows, and knows that it knows. It is not confused by the appearances of “facts.” Piercing through illusion, I see the glory of Reality. Consenting to transcendent awareness, I step more fully into my Yes. With every Yes there is a victory as my capacity expands. I experience more joy, more life, more love, abundance, and creativity. I cease resuscitating comfort zones. I release and let them rest in peace. I no longer struggle up stream. I trust the current, and flow gracefully with the river of life. © 2012 Inner Light Ministries

Faithfulness is partnering my intent with Divine Design. Faithfulness is remaining steadfast in my knowing regardless of appearances. Faithfulness is moving through the “not know” still confident that spiritually all is well. Faithfulness is my resilient spirit rising above circumstances and conditions. Faithfulness is going the extra mile when I would rather retreat or stay where I am. Faithfulness is remembering to remember that I am more than this. Faithfulness is gratitude flowing from my lips like a cascade of water forever blessing the earth. Faithfulness is the restful sleep knowing that I gave it my spiritual all that day.

My faith leads the way. I own my faith, it cannot be bought. My faith is powerful. My strength is the embodiment of the purity of my faith. My faith is the cornerstone of my soul. When I encounter challenges, I trust and do not give up, because I know my faith will get me there. My faith causes miracles to happen. I am faith in its highest form. I am faithful to the Lord. I am the faith in faithfulness.
