We invite you to participate with us in a daily devotional time called “Your Daily Bread.” These daily devotions will come to you via our podcast network. It is through these daily podcasts that we hope you use to allow God to minister to your daily need enabling you to walk each and every day in the spirit of Christ.
Hello, my name is Paul, and I am the voiceover for a ministry provided to you by Jim Pugue at God is Government called Your Daily Bread, taken from Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, verse 11. This is a daily devotion ministry focused not only on uplifting Scripture, but Scripture that will grow your spiritual connection with Christ. We hope that you receive these devotions to uplift you, encourage you, but most importantly, advance your knowledge base of the Holy Scriptures. Today's focus discussion will be on understanding our emotional guidance system and visualization. It is through our emotions that we know if we are connected to the source or not. It is through our emotions that provide guidance to our thoughts as they relate to the divine plan and the laws of the universe. It is here that our non-physical self communicates with our physical counterpart. This can be a foreign concept to understand, as it was for me initially. So let's look at this in some detail. Before our separation with our source creator, we did not have any reason to think or feel, because we were with one mind with our source. We did not understand at that time that there was any other thought, other than that, which was provided by our source. It was not until we became aware of the knowledge of good and evil that we had the ability to think for ourselves and have free will to act on our own. This ability is what developed the ego self, our own mind to think and actions to do as we choose. Because of this mind separation from source, having two minds, ego self and spirit, we are not controlled by source, but have a choice to adhere to the words of the source or the words of our ego self. God placed in our minds when he allowed ego to create a call to joy, we have a choice to hear and act upon either our ego self or the joy of the spirit. We can only hear one at a time. If and when we do, we all will get back to where we were at one point or another. There will be no need for ego self and emotions. It is in the process of removing the ego self from our lives that we need the emotions to provide guidance. For if we have not yet obtained atonement, become of one mind with spirit, we will always be thinking through the ego self. It is these thoughts that we need to know if they are in alignment with the spirit or not. It is through the emotional guidance system that we know if we are in alignment or not. Think of it this way. All thoughts are ours to choose, and as we think thoughts, they are compared to the spiritual voice inside us. And if the thought is a match to the spiritual voice, then we feel good. If the thought does not match, then we feel bad. Good emotions are those positive emotions of love, joy, kindness, peace, etc. Bad emotions are those of hate, despair, disappointment, depression, etc. It is through listening and feeling with our emotions that we know we are in alignment with the source. The guide here is to allow us to understand that we need to change our thoughts on an ongoing basis to make sure that we are in constant alignment with our source. For instance, a dancer will visualize a specific turn, a songwriter will visualize a particular message, a computer designer will focus on the desired outcome of the design, etc. However, visualization as a process is the same regardless of these classifications. When we visualize, we create a mental image. In doing so, we launch our thoughts and emotions toward what we are visualizing. We are told in Mark 11, verse 24 that therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ask, believe ye receive them, and ye shall have them. What better way to believe we have received that which we desire than visualizing that we have them already? Everything we desire should be clearly visible in our mind. In fact, if it is a new car we want, then we need to see ourselves inside it, driving it, listening to the stereo, etc. If it is a new piece of clothing, then see yourself wearing it and how great you look. Visualization brings to life our wants and desires. Thank you for joining us in this exploration of understanding our emotional guidance system and visualization. Until next time, remember to keep the faith, stay strong, and continue to shine your light in the world. To hear these daily devotions of your daily bread, please log on to goddessgovernment.com.
