We advocate then in the overcoming of unwanted habits and conditions a recognition of the all-power of God: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,” said the Master Jesus. The recognition that this power is given unto the Christ in every man as the just steward of his potential is essential, for God’s power with its attendant perfection is now and always has been available to man. However man was also given the gift of freewill which he may use to effectively blot out the Holy Spirit which gave him birth, even as he uses it to still the voice of conscience—as Saint Paul long ago said “searing conscience with a hot iron.”
Knowing that truth and life are more important than temporal satisfactions which must one day be surrendered, knowing that the divine birthright far exceeds man’s earthly expectations, the advocates of the Holy Spirit bear the hope that individuals in this day and age will understand that surrender to God is only surrender to the goodness of Life itself. This goodness is already inherent in life and awaiting the welcome of the individual monad who possesses the key of freewill.
When your blessed free wills are tethered to His will there is far less of the sense of struggle about life. One’s future is no longer subject to the whim of personal desire but rests firmly in the God-desire to develop the patterns of the life plan to the fullest extent of which the individual monad is capable.
The chastening of the Holy Spirit is the natural outgrowth of conflict between man’s will and God’s will. How strange it is then that in their reactions to the love of His Spirit many have said “I want to be free!” Well, precious ones, while your own freewill is actually your passport to absolute freedom, once misused it is no longer an instrument of freedom but the tool of self-imposed bondage (until one self-corrects). The world is filled with diversions that are used to lure people from the path. Even devotees of the Spirit because of their misunderstandings of the Law have allowed themselves to become bored with religious things.
