Paul tells us that
2Timothy 1:7 . . . God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
We therefore know that if our minds are not “sound,” it is not God’s will. There is also the implication that fear could be at the root of any lack of power, love or soundness of mind that we might experience.
I awakened this morning enjoying the peace of God, which passeth all understanding
and with the phrase peace multiplied
being spoken by the still small voice inside. Night before last my husband and I arrived at the home of a dear friend with whom we’ve been in fellowship for over 35 years. She’s one of the very few people with whom I’ve felt I could be totally transparent as I’ve been on this spiritual journey. Though we lived in the same area for decades, I moved hundreds of miles away 15 years ago. Of course modern technology has enabled us to continue our relationship mostly from a distance, though we do see each other at least once or twice a year, sometimes for as long as three weeks. Yesterday a mutual friend, with whom we’ve both been transparent, called, and I had a very long and satisfying conversation with her where we were able to share the things that really mattered to us, not just engage in small talk.
I awakened this morning at 6:00 from a very vivid dream wherein I was most apprehensive about a play that I was about to perform in but for which I was not prepared. I didn’t know my lines at all. It was certainly going to be disastrous. Of course I was immensely relieved when I awakened and recognized that it was only a dream and had no reality. I knew inside that what I had just experienced had spiritual significance. So I got out of bed and lay down under an infrared dome to listen. I’ve had many revelations while lying under that dome, including the one contained in the contemplation Ten Righteous Men.

There is but one power in the universe —God Omnipotent (all-power). And that power is exercised through man, made in the image and likeness of God and given dominion (Genesis 1:26). It manifests what appears to be either good or evil, according to what is in the consciousness of man (individually and collectively); but it is all the same power —God power. There is no evil power independent of man which is opposing God and which God (or man) must overcome.
Last night I had the opportunity to prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
(Romans 12:2). And of course I did that by renewing my mind
to the truth —rather than what appeared
to be the truth (John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.).
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
