LESSON THREE: THE DIVINE ORDER

While receiving the Four Divine Intentions I queried to the Divine Voice, "Is there a particular order to these Intentions?" 

 

It replied, "Yes, the Divine order is: Hope, Love, Peace, and Happiness. Faith precedes Hope. Faith means the Remembrance of the One perfect divine power that is contained in the Oneself. The Divine Intention of Hope springs out of Faith.

 

In order to express Hope perfectly the Oneself must have a full awareness of The One contained in the Oneself and solely rely on it, in other words complete surrender to God. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not on thine own understanding. Meaning, trust in the One not the Self."

The Divine Voice continued, "Due to the Universal Law of Free Will, the Self can achieve Selfish needs, which are desires that are not the will of The One, these Self-gratifying achievements will not express The Divine Intentions. They only serve to draw the Self further away from the One and they derive feelings of emptiness  and longing leaving the Self dissatisfied."

 

"Once the Divine Intention of Hope is perfectly expressed the Oneself has the potential to Love perfectly. The Oneself expresses the Divine Intention of Love in the Recognition of The One that is contained in the Other. The act of recognizing that God lives within all of us is the act of Divine Love. Once you are able to recognize The One in your 'enemy' and in 'the least of these' you have perfectly expressed the Divine Intention of Love. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me."

"Through Remembrance you gain Hope. Through Recognition you foster Love. With unwavering Hope and Love you 'need' for nothing because you've come to know that the Divine is boundless. Need creates stress. Stress cannot exist in the absence of  'need' therefore the Oneself experiences Peace." 

 

"Perfect Divine Peace is gained and maintained through Forgiveness. Forgiveness is choosing to remember existence of the One in the Self and recognizing the One in the Others. If the Self holds onto feelings that oppose Divine Hope and/or Divine Love stress is created. Peace cannot live where stress is the ruler." 

"The Intention of Divine Happiness (Bliss) is expressed by the Oneself when the Oneself expresses perfect Hope, perfect Love, and perfect Peace. This is not to be confused with the happiness buying a home or even a good marriage produces. Divine Happiness flies in the face of  losing a home or divorce. It is the Bliss of the One because it knows all that occurs is for the good of all concerned. Sorrow may be felt by the Self in the wake of tragedy. The Oneself that has perfected Hope, Love, and Peace strives to override the feelings of the Self in order to express perfect Divine Happiness."

Hope + Love + Peace = Happiness
