Powerful Affirmations Starting With The Letter A

Affirmations, christ consciousness, Manifesting, Religion, Spiritual

As I’m writing, I cannot adequately express how wonderful it is to be able to share my feelings and reflect upon different aspects of my spiritual journey. I know that some people will not accept or appreciate what I am sharing, while others are attracted to my writings, appreciating their level of authenticity, recognizing and gleaning from the writings what they may need to help support their spiritual journies.

I know this; by putting my thoughts about my walk in Christ Consciousness into writing, I’m taking the first steps past the spoken word in affirming my commitment to walking my talk and living an abundant Christ Consciousness life.

Over the next few days, I feel the need to reinstall within myself some of the basic living affirmations that help me to remember to reinforce and reaffirm who I am. When I meditate upon these powerful statements, they seem to self-activate, bringing the desires of my heart to manifest with astonishing speed.

You may want to use these I AM affirmations in any way that supports you best. I print them out, putting them in conspicuous places throughout my home, reading them as I pass them by during the day. I have also found them to be super powerful when I meditate upon them just before going to sleep. I can promise you these affirmations will come to life in you. As we all know we get the things in life on which we focus, so why not focus on only what brings you love, goodness, happiness, health, peace, and joy.

I have organized the affirmations alphabetically, so today I’ll share my favorite affirmations starting with the letter A and each day after, I will do a letter of the alphabet. I pray, as you meditate on your affirmations they will manifest for you at this very moment, and you will have the desires of your heart.

I AM ACCEPTANCE – There is nothing for me to resist.
I AM ACCEPTABLE – There is nothing that resists me.
I AM ADORABLE – I am loved and cared for just for who I am.

Faith Comes From Living In The Spirit… It’s Not About Being Religious

christ consciousness, gratitude, Religion, Spiritual

Like The Force, The Spirit Gives Out Its Gifts Without Conditions

I remember the first Star Wars film, and what stuck most with me was how everyone, even Darth Vader could access The Force. Yes, both good or evil had access to The Force.

The Force didn’t judge the motives of those who used its powers. It gav His Spirit Gives You Love Without Any Condition's... How Will You Share That Love So Freely Given To You? e them whatever they requested unconditionally. It was always up to the person what they did with the skills they received.

Though the Force is made up in the mind of the author of Star Wars, The Forces attributes paralleled the attributes of those of God or The Creator whom I call The Spirit. Most of all I caught The Forces show of unconditional love flowing out to every entity. The Force always left it up to the individuals to do with the gift of the power whatever they chose. The actors choice was to give The Force a level of influence in their lives; the actors are much like us when it comes to The Spirit; we can choose to be novices or masters.

The Force Is With You And In You And Just May Be You

Like The Force in the movie, The Spirit in real life, when given mastery in our lives, heals us and strengthens us. Provides us with mental clarity and the ability to do anything we believe we can do. So, for me, the terms The Spirit and The Force are synonymous and being a Spirit Man is a lot like Yoda being a Master.

So, today as a man, I AM also The Spirit for It lives in me and through me, its hard to explain, but It’s now becoming me, maybe I AM becoming a master.

The choices are mine as to how I use the gifts given to me by The Spirit. I can choose the “dark side” or the “Light.” Today, I want The Light and to use The Spirits gifts to help me give, or better yet BE unconditional love towards all mankind, all sentient beings, and the earth. The rest of this article is just about the spiritual journey of how I got to where I AM at this moment. I hope you will join me, and may The Force be with you.

Do You Want A Spiritual Awakening?

If you are like me, you feel the need for a spiritual awakening at the very core of your being. This desire is ever-present, always there, softly humming in the background of my consciousness. It’s inside me, and outside of me, it encompasses me and everything in my world, all the time.

In my space, I mostly call this presence Spirit or Love. I always want to make it easier for me to relate, to people of different cultures, religions, and spiritual practices. So I defer to them and interchange Spirit and Love with whatever name brings comfort to that person.

What Is The Spirits Name?

Being human means, we must have a name for everything. There are so many names for what really in truth is nameless. Jesus, God, Life Force, Yahweh, The Field, Spirit, Love, etc. To say the name of this presence has to be exactly this or that limits It to the religion of the mind and the form of my (our) thoughts.

Knowing we humans need to label and name to relate, I will use the names Spirit, I Am and Love throughout this article, feel free to replace these names with any name, you find comforting.

Maybe love is the only pathway to knowing the Divine.

We Feel Something Drawing Us To It

When I was younger, I was taught that the Spirit only wanted to be with certain people, of particular religions, which performed certain practices and, and, and… It’s now obvious to me; the Spirit wants to be one with me, you, and everyone. Yes, no one is excluded from the Spirits unconditional love and desire to be one with all creation. There is no religion or spiritual practice that will bring us any closer to the Spirit then we already are.

As I grow in age and gain more wisdom, I am coming to believe that before any of us ever sought after the Spirit; the Spirit was already with us. Actually, in us, the Spirit just patiently waits for us to know, we were already one and the same.

How many times have we felt the Spirit’s presence, but we could not quite connect with It? Sometimes the presence of the Spirit is so strong It causes us to tremble, at other times it’s barely perceptible. We cannot see It, yet we know the Spirit is where ever we are. It’s a primal knowing, which we have felt since the beginning of time, It’s presence, is here, now, and we like It have no beginning and no ending.

We sense the Spirit drawing us near, softly whispering, deep calling unto deep, eternally in love with each other. We have known in our heart of hearts, since the beginning of time, that our very souls have always cried out, praying that we would be immersed in the very essence of the Spirit. Having this kind of relationship was needed for us to feel complete. For some of us, we thirst after the Spirit, longing to be immersed in It, filled with It, and know that we will only feel at complete when we are one with the Spirit.

Our Hearts Are Aflame

I cannot speak for all men, but most of those who I have known, have what I would call inherent Spirit knowingness. This knowingness bids them, call out from the deepest recesses of their souls, for the Spirit to come commune with them. They cannot rest until they are one at heart with the Spirit. Their hearts are aflame, as they seek the filling of the Spirit. With a burning desire, they ask the Spirit to guide them and show them how to be love and see the world and all creation through the eyes of love; for in our hearts we know that the spirit is pure unconditional love.

Many of us feel desperate, somehow we are like little children who cannot feel safe and complete, without their moms and dads. The Spirit is our mother and father! We search high and low for the Spirit; we cry out from the depth of our souls for the Spirit to come and be with us. We long to see ourselves, the earth, and all sentient beings through the eyes of the Spirit. We know in our hearts the Spirit can only give us what we need; hearts aflame with unconditional love for ourselves, the earth, its creatures and all mankind.

My Story ~ A Thirsty Man In The Desert

When I was younger, I did not understand that the Spirit and I were one. I only knew that I longed to know the will of the Spirit, to be filled with the Spirit, and to love myself and others as the Spirit loved me. So, like a thirsty man in the desert, I have searched oasis after oasis, followed many “narrow pathways” that promised me living water. Being lead to the wells, I drank deeply, but never was my thirst quenched, and never did the water come freely. I became disillusioned and was left tired and empty. My thirst was unquenched. Leaving my body, soul and spirit depleted.

The Search For Living Water

Year after year I searched, for the Spirit, the living water that would quench my spiritual thirst. Days turned into years, years into decades in this spiritual desert, I would never give up, until I died. Nothing could stop me, so I continued to search for that “living water,” drinking from the sickly wells, followed by one disappointment after another until I could no longer go on. My body in a state of absolute depletion, and yet the thirst was still there, but being too weak, all I could do was to lay quietly and let my body, mind, and soul be as they were, and accept my conditi
on and put my fate in the hands of the universe. I rested and even feel asleep. When I The Spirit Will Lead Us Through Life's Deserts awoke, I looked into the silence of the desert, and like a mirage shimmering out of desert heat I saw a figure, a form, a man walking on the heatwaves, he was beautiful, and had a flask of water strung across his chest. He came to me, knelt at my side, gently lifted my head, put the drink to my lips, and for the first time in my life’s journey, living water flowed across my lips, and my strength was restored. I looked deeply into his eyes and thanked him for coming to me when I had given up all hope. He only said it is good that you have given yourself up. Now rest, relax, be quiet, knowing I AM with you, for we are one, and I am you. I will always be with you in this world without end.

The Spirit Will Quench Our Thirst

No More Searching

I marvel, I thirst no more. My thirst is quenched, I AM Spirit in Spirit, and so I relax in real knowing that I AM one with the Spirit.

How is it possible that only when I gave up altogether and felt I had nothing, that I gained everything? My years in the desert are but a fading memory, the agonizing search, so many false promises. Only when I allowed the stillness of exhaustion to seep into my entire being, did I surrender to what was already within and my thirst was no more.

The Spirit Loves Us No Matter Who We Are

You Are So Loved… You Are Never Alone

I hope my story, helps you on your life’s journey. Maybe you will not have to suffer the empty deserts, or narrow pathways leading to sickly wells. It was only when I reached the point of exhaustion, that I was able to truly relax and let go. The Google dictionary defines “to relax”:

To become less tense or anxious. “He relaxed and smiled confidently.”

Antonyms: contract, tighten. tense. restricted, holding on.

- cause (a limb or muscle) to become less rigid, antonyms: tighten.
- make (something) less firm or tight.” relax our hold” antonyms: contract, tighten.
- make (a rule or restriction) less strict while not abolishing it.” they persuaded the local authorities concerned to relax their restrictions” antonyms: tighten up.

The Spirit Awakens Our Heart To Eternity

No More Religion Or Special Techniques

Wow! Did you check out the antonyms? They described me whenI was so focused on finding the Spirit. i.e., contracted, tightened, rigid, strict, holding on. When the Spirit saturated me with His living water, quenching my thirst, I realized for the first time who I was. I no longer needed to rely upon, or trust the words of other men, or drink from their wells.

Today, my reliance on the techniques, ways, and things of the world are fading fast. I now know that it’s the Spirit, being one with my spirit, that breathes eternal life in me. Whispering to me softly, the Spirit is guiding me gently on my spiritual path, the Spirits path, the only path that matters, for it is the only way into eternity.

I am free from judging myself, and others. No oaths to keep, no religion to hold onto, no work to do, no enemy to fight, no one to overcome, no thoughts to resist. I can just relax and be myself, my beautiful self, my spiritual-filled self.

Relax With The Spirit… Rest With God.

Relaxing With The Great I Am

My life in the Spirit is not about doing a certain meditation or saying the right prayer. It is not about me teaching someone else “the way.” The Spirit can handle that.

For me, life in the Spirit is truly an absolute experience of Resting and Relaxing in the Spirit. Letting myself be embraced and cradled. Trusting in the stillness, relaxing in the assurance that the Spirit is there, ever present so I can lay down my thoughts on what should be and relax, into the arms of the one who loves us without any conditions…the great I Am.

It’s That Easy To Know The Spirit… We Just Need To Relax.

Relax, It’s Handled

I now know what Jesus meant when he said: “resist not evil.” Wow, how simple the Spirit has it handled, so we can relax, lay down our protections, our fear, and our walls. When we relax and just acknowledge that the Spirit has it covered, we will see evil dissipate, in fact, it implodes upon itself and disintegrates. If there is even anything such as evil, it loses its foothold when it comes to the light of the Spirit, the master of unconditional love who abides within us and with us all.

Relaxing Into The Present Moment

When I refrain from the mental struggle surrounding good and evil, the past and the future, I make room for the Spirit to be able to pour more living water into my soul. Together we resume our rightful place in my earthly life experience. We are once again able to relax and function in the present moment; quickly obtaining all that is necessary for us to experience the fullness of our existence. As my spirit rests and relaxes in the divine consciousness (HOLY SPIRIT), Spirit speaks to my mind, and I understand that wherever I am is Holy Ground. So what else is there to do, but to smile, breath and relax for I am in the best place ever.

The Spirit Hides Us In A Secret Place.

Relaxing In The Secret Place

Because we have made no human effort, we have resisted no evil, having stopped fighting temporal powers, we have now opened ourselves to the way of the Master. The way of the Spirit, the way of the Creator. For now, we can relax and live in GRACE, instead of fear, judgment, and shame. We can now relax and live our lives in the present moment, the time when temporal power no longer affects our peace.

We are now able to abide in the secret place of the most high, and live, and breathe divine GRACE. This gift of GRACE lies within each of us and is not separate, or apart from us, it’s in you now! The recognition of your Christ Consciousness is just relaxing and recognizing the state of Christ is in you, the knowingness that Spirit is one with your spirit and you are in the “I Am.”

Now let us all go into the presence of divine grace and relax. We no longer fear anything as we live in Spirit’s Divine Grace, in Christ consciousness, in God’s love.

A Mans Character Is Revealed In His Approach To Lifes Circumstances

christ consciousness, Manifesting, Spiritual, Uncategorized

The circumstances in which a man finds himself does not determine who the man is. Each situation he encounters gives him the opportunity to test himself and see whether his thoughts are divisive, self-serving, and mean-spirited or kind, loving, and virtuous. I believe that the man whose thoughts are focused on what is kind, loving and virtuous will live out their lives ineffective actions that are overflowing with the fruits that come from a good spirit.

Each of us is connected to the Great I Am through our thoughts. Our thoughts are the most powerful of tools as they empower us to do good or evil. We are made up of thoughts, we are not robots(unless we choose to be), but thinkers who have a free choice in every matter concerning our lives. We and we alone are the authors all of our thoughts. With each thought serving as the cornerstone of most everything, we can imagine into existence.

When we find ourselves not obtaining our hearts desires and thwarted at every step, it’s usually because we have not put much thought into what we are trying to achieve. When we think about and focus on our desires and live as if they had already been granted, we automatically lift ourselves out of every earthly quagmire and set ourselves up to feast on our fulfilled desires.

The kingdom of God is within us and recognizing that we are divine son’s and daughter’s of the I Am helps us to have divine thoughts which culminate in holy actions and divine ends. Our prayerful and humble recognition of who we are in Christ frees us from our self-imposed bondage, enabling us to think noble thoughts which in turn enable us to bring about physical demonstrations of healing, health, kindness, and love, in our world.

So, it’s not what we wish for that we get; but we get what we think about the most, as the thoughts we focus on the most, are the ones that come alive and form up in the physical realm. Having this understanding enables us to take responsibility for our thought life and what happens in our lives. We truly do have divine responsibility for our thought life as our thoughts can bring about pain and suffering or peace and love.

When our thoughts, prayers, and desires are manifested in harmony with our Christ Consciousness, we find ourselves experiencing the peace of God, as we’re no longer bound by conscious or unconscious thoughts that thwart our ability to manifest the righteous desires of our hearts.

All of us want better lives, but how many of us are willing to change ourselves, do what it takes to improve ourselves and the lives of those among us? When we improve and change ourselves, it sometimes means giving up the person who we thought we were. It sometimes means having to crucify our egos, dying to our earthly desires.

So, today we seek to improve our circumstance, not by changing the world and people around us, but by changing our own thoughts about who we are and how we can be loving, kind and generous to ourselves as well as to each person who comes into our lives. It’s my opinion that for myself, I must be willing to give up who I believe I am and die to my little earthly self so my eternal spiritual self can reflect the I Am’s divinity that is within me and makes up who I really am.

Do You Believe Your Prayers Are Answered?

prayer, Spiritual, Uncategorized

Christ said: “When ye pray, believe ye have it. Become as a little child if you would enter the kingdom.”

I just found that less than half of us pray on a daily basis. I felt somewhat astounded, as for most of my friends and me, pray at least once and usually several times a day. Most of my friends are educated, coming from different countries, cultures, races, and religions. Many are Protestants, Catholics and some are Buddhist, Hindus, and Sikhs. Even with all our differences, we have a single bonding common denominator; that is we all pray. We all know there is more to this life than what meets the eye.

Being humans means on most days we’re bombarded by distractions, challenges, and adverse situations. I believe if humanity understood how simple, but powerfully effective prayer is they would be cherishing their time in prayer, instead of avoiding it. If we could put aside our adult ego’s and become like children, full of curiosity’s and simple trust, we would be able to pray from our hearts. Being like a child in our prayers knowing we are safe and cared for would open the door to the kingdom of heaven, and we would receive the spiritual, emotional and physical benefits associated with prayer and the miracles that God channels through prayers.

“Trust in me, commit your ways unto me.”

As for me, I’ve found a hiding place, a monk’s cave in the midst of the chaos. It’s my inner sanctum, It’s the kingdom of heaven within me, I quickly enter my heavenly abode by simply being silent, being still and letting the I Am hear the prayer of my heart. I m like a child I need ask for nothing for My loving Father knows all I need and all that has been made and will be done is already mine. I have ceased my longings, not of my volition, but because of His overwhelming love, a love that assures me in the depths of my heart, my Father is at this very moment performing the miracles I need, for He knows what’s best for me. He never fails to release the exact miracles I need, and within moments they begin to flow over me like warm spring rains, saturating my body, soul, and spirit.

“For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?”

Our Supreme Creator, Lord and Maker God, works in mysterious ways, moment by moment, performing miracles and wonders for you and me. It’s my heartfelt belief that my prayers channel these miracles, making them the cornerstones of my life.

“Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

Prayer, oh what a blessed gift. What a comfort in times of testing. What else can heal a soul torn asunder? What else can lift us from the depths of despair? When all else has failed, prayer always brings us physical and spiritual showers of blessings along with the miracles that support a life of peace, love and pure bliss.

What a happy feeling it is to pray until you get that warm glowing feeling that lights up your imagination and fills you with the sense that you are in the midst of a miracle, and you are already in possession of for which you have prayed. Oh, what a mysterious thing prayer is to so many, yet when we approach it’s from the point of our being like little children, prayers mysteries fade like the morning due in the midst of the sun’s warming rays.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

May your life be filled with every blessing.

Dreams Come True When You Stop Trying To Manifest And Align With Love

Manifesting, Spiritual, Uncategorized

Manifesting what we desire is an amazing feeling of accomplishment. The more we do it, the easier it becomes to manifest what is most beneficial for ourselves and in alignment with God’s highest purpose, shown through “agape,” selfless love in action.

For me, manifesting is like “praying without ceasing,” every manifestation is a miraculous event, that brings about goodness, kindness, strength, honor, faith, grace, forgiveness, healing, patience, stillness, knowledge, wisdom, financial security, mercy, love, and forgiveness. These are but a few of the many circumstances I now find myself in as I live a life of miracles. The more I manifest from a heart aligned with the heart of LOVE that lives in me, the Great I AM is replacing the little me, my little I am, more day-by-day,

I love manifesting miracle after miracle, each manifestation serves as a basis for the next one, like I said it’s like saying never-ending prayers all of which are being answered before I have finished praying. I find myself in this perfect manifesting state when I am manifesting from my heart and not my head. I know there are many things I want, but some of my desires may not be in alignment with Love “God Is Love,” so I now always ask will this manifestation make me a more loving person? Will it bring me closer to being one with the heart of The Great I AM? Will what I manifest bless others? If I cannot answer yes to theses three questions, I know it’s not in divine order to bring forth the manifestation, at this time.

Here’s something really awesome, that’s happened to me over the past year or so. It’s as if I no longer am asking for something to materialize. I feel the miracle has already happened and my state of manifestation is a celebratory acknowledgment of what already has come into materialization. It’s more like I feel I already have it before I can manifest it. It’s as if my grateful heart sees’s my desire already manifested, already in place, my prayers answered before I asked. Now it seems all I want to do is say thank you, thank you, thank you to my Creator, the world and myself.

One last thing that has absolutely helped me in my life of manifesting is to always pray and meditate upon how or what I’m about to manifest will affect my life, especially my spiritual life as it relates to my Christ consciousness. I now spend more time in the state of prayer and meditation than I do focused on actually manifesting. Unfortunately, some of what I’ve manifested over the past years was directed by my mind, not my heart, and I’ve found that manifesting my desires is much easier than living with some of the circumstances I have created. My advice is ALWAYS manifest from a heart, aligned with love and the materialization of your manifestation will bring about wonderful results for you and all mankind.

I am at peace with my life, and my heartfelt manifestations. I am grateful for all I have learned and am learning. In the new year, I pray that each of us will find our lives energized by the Spirit, the I Am, the Creator, the Christ or by whatever name you to call LOVE. So, let the manifestations begin and our dreams lived.

Blessings, Robert C. Morgan “Bobby”
