There are those, who are called, to come to the mountaintop, and they hear the call, and rise-up, and go. They go unprepared. They go not knowing the way they are to go. Yet, they go, and begin, the ascent. And the way can be difficult, and challenging, and often, they slip, and fall, and rise, to begin the climb, again. They are called to go first, to make ready the way, so the path will be marked, and easier to climb, as others are called, in their time. If you are called, to make ready the way, rise-up, and be assured, that even though the challenge will be difficult, and there will be distractions, to sway you away, from the climb, up the mountain, you are already prepared to make it. You are prepared, from within. You are to leave your mark, as you climb, climbing higher, until your ascent brings you to the peak, where you look back, and see where you have been, from the perspective of where you are, when you reach the top of the mountain.
And The Holy Spirit says:
When word comes back, that others have reached the mountain peak, and then, you too, are called, to rise-up, and climb, make sure you trust the path marked for you. Make sure you know the way is made clear for you, by one who holds your faith. Then, as you go, the silent prayer will be for those who went before you. And there, in the quiet, of the climbing, to the peak, you will hold a prayer for those who went before you, and for those who will follow. Those who will follow will find it easier to climb, because you have marked the way, by your progress. You have left behind the energy of the body, the physical body, clearing, making it obvious which way to go. And you have left behind the energy of prayer, which will envelope, and hold, each pilgrim, climbing there. Continue, day, and night. Climb. Answer the call. When you reach the peak, you will know, that it was worth every effort, to see, what you could not see, before.

Care for your spiritual body with the equal enthusiasm, that enthusiasm you employ, when you are caring for your physical body, molding it, shaping it, feeding it, tending to it, so that it will serve you well. Tend to your spiritual body, in the same way. Strengthen the spiritual muscles, by practice. Practice love, kindness, understanding, forgiveness. And do it even when it is uncomfortable: forgiveness, love, kindness, compassion. These things will serve you well, as you practice, and your spiritual muscles get stronger, and stronger. And soon, it is quite easy to forgive, without question, and to forgive even those who do not believe they require any forgiveness. Strengthen your spiritual body, for it will serve you well.
And The Holy Spirit says:
Doing all the things required to create a body, a physical body, that is strong, healthy, enduring, this is important. For, your body will serve you well, as you are upon the Earth, if you take care of your body. But your spiritual body, the spirit that is you, will live forever. Do not let it grow weak. Practice so that you might be strong, spiritually, and physically, so that your physical body does serve you well, until you are called Home. But your physical body, and your spiritual body, can work hand in hand, as that is how it is meant to be. So, do not ignore that important body that is thee, the spiritual body. Let the physical body serve you, the spirit that is you, and your life, upon the Earth will be one of joy, peace, happiness, and contentment.

You do not see it, yet you know it. You know it, from within. From within your being, there at the core, spirit, soul, you know it all. You know what is around each bend. There is no need for you to see it, because, you know it. As The Source of The Knowing, springs forth from Me. My Holy Spirit is within thee. And as you seek to know the truth, as you walk the path of an enlightened being, the place you will find, all that you can see, is within thee. There within, is the recognition. And the recognition sings-out, and you know, because it is within you.
And The Holy Spirit says:
The journey within is a beautiful mystery. When you sit long enough, in silence, a peace wraps around you, as a gentle shawl, reminding you, that this journey within has nothing to do with the world around you. You are taking it so you can go, and see, and know. The Wisdom of God is within you. Be still, and go, and see, and know.

Do not permit fear to scar your journey. Do not permit doubt to cloud the clarity of your vision. When you know, I AM with you, there is nothing to fear, and My truth, with you, melts away all doubt. To clear yourself of fear, and doubt, know I AM with you. And since that is so, there is nothing to fear, there is no place for doubt.
And The Holy Spirit says:
There are many things, which can be taken from you, during your life upon Earth. People, whispering in shadows, or out in the open, can take away your good name, for a while, in the secrets they tell, in the lies they speak. A thief, in the night, can come, and steal your possessions. A catastrophe might happen to bring the house, that you considered your safe place, crumbling around you. There are many things which can be taken from you. And, in each of those things, that can be taken from you, you have no control over what others will do. But when you are the master of that which you feel, and know, you can cast any fear away from you, and you can shake doubt from your heels, proclaiming the truth, that God is with you. There is no need to fear. There is no need to doubt. And no matter what happens to you, at the hands of another, it cannot make you afraid. It cannot strip you of the truth. Do not tarry in the wasteland of fear, and doubt. Rise-up, in The Light of God, and cast them from you. Cast them out.

“I AM with you. I AM walking with you. Because you believe I AM with you, and walking with you, your day unfolds differently. It reflects the knowing, within you, trusting, and confident, that I AM with you. You do not need to understand this mystery, because there will come a time when the mystery is solved for you, a time when it is revealed to you. But for now, you walk in faith, knowing I AM with you.
“Sometimes, you can stand close to, or on, a railroad track, and see that railroad track stretch far, before you, going so far ahead of you that you cannot see the end of it. It just disappears over the horizon, or to the right, or the left, but it continues, and you see that. Sometimes, you stand on a road, and the road stretches far before you. You cannot see the end of it. It just disappears over the horizon, or around a bend, to the right, or left. Sometimes, you stand at the side, the bank, of a river, and the river goes on, and on. You cannot see the end of the river. It disappears over the horizon, around the bend. There are many things that you see, you know, but at the time you see, and know, the sight of what you see, and know, is not revealed to you. But you know it! The railroad tracks, you know they continue, even if you cannot see them. The road, the river, it is the same. You need not see to know.
“Your life upon the Earth is meant to be a great adventure, a mission, a journey. And you are on the Earth for a reason. It is not accidental, nor is the time you are upon Earth accidental. You are especially created, your spirit, your soul, especially created to be where you are, right now.
“When there is no doubt, or fear, within you, you will put your foot upon the railroad track, and walk, knowing that, if you are there, at that railroad track, at that time, with it stretching before you, you are to walk it. Same with the road. Same with the river. There are many situations, which come to you, in your life, upon Earth, which require faith to step onto the track, or the road, or into the river. When you know God is with you, The Holy Spirit is dwelling within you, that you can sing with Me, and talk with Me, as you walk, every day, you are not afraid to step onto the tracks, or the road, or into the river. There is no doubt clouding the clarity of your vision. But when doubt begins to slip in, mostly through the voices of others, distracting you from your mission, that doubt robs you of the glory of completing your mission, of writing your own story.
“Do not give fear a place, within you. For, what can you fear? If you know your life is eternal, how can you fear death of the physical body, the earthly body? You are moving on. If you know that you are being guided by The Holy Spirit of God, within you, how can you doubt The Way? If you wish to change the course of your life, so that it is filled with joy, and peace, and contentment, drive the spirits of fear from you, drive the spirits of doubt from you, and do not listen. Those voices, within your head, if they are planting seeds of doubt, or seeds of fear, they are not The Voice of God. God says, ‘I AM with you, and if I AM with you, what do you fear? How can you fear?’
“These are two important things. Spend the rest of this day thinking on this, and praying on this, and accepting this. Rid yourself of fear, and doubt, and everything that comes to you will all work out, just as it is meant to be, standing in The Light of God, free of doubt, free of fear, ready to meet the destiny that is yours. Come, let us walk, together, into this new day. I will whisper, and you will know The Way.”

Loose your hands from your money, loose your hands from your possessions, loose your hands from your pockets, and open your arms, to welcome, that which I send you. For, that, which I send unto you, is greater than money, and possessions, and the pockets, and the coats you wrap around you. My love flows, without measure, to each of you. Embrace it, because, My love, My love, is your wealth. My love holds the riches, of The Kingdom. My love will guide you, and lead you, through all challenges. My love will lift you up, when you have fallen. My love will be the wings, beneath you, so that you might fly, where you could not walk, before. Loose, your hands, and take Mine.
And The Holy Spirit says:
You are not walking, upon Earth, alone. You are walking, with God. There came One, to be The Living Word, to show you how to walk, upon the Earth. Do not forget Him, for He showed you The Way. And he did not hold money, and possessions, and the riches of Earth, in high esteem. He opened His arms to those in the margins of society, to the wounded, to the disgraced, to the fallen. He opened His arms, and delivered, The Grace of God.

Resist the temptation to find fault with others. Look for the good in others. For, that which you seek, you will find. If you are seeking to find fault, with others, that is what you will find. And if you are seeking to find good, in others, that is what you will find. Focus on the good, not only in others, but in yourself. For, that, which holds your focus, grows. When you are speaking with others, speak highly of the gifts, in which they excel. Recognize the good, and only the good.
And The Holy Spirit says:
Many times, as you walk outside, in the early morning, when the dew has kissed the ground, in the light of a rising sun, you will notice a sparkle, coming from a blade of grass, there on the ground, before you. Now, you can pass it by, and not say, or think, one thing. But oh, the rewards you will find, if you stop, and acknowledge, the shining, of the dewdrop, held in the light of the sun. Look at it. See the sparkle, and the color, green, blue, purple. Focus on that shining drop, resting on a blade of grass. And once you notice it, and focus upon it, you find there is not just one dewdrop, shining in the grass. There is two. Then you see three, and four, and more. And soon, you notice the sparkling colors, scattered over the grass, like gemstones. And after you have studied this, for a while, you continue on your way. But all through the day you recall the blessing, of the dewdrops, held in the light of the sun.
