Long Quotes
Recognition must be based upon a deeper experience, recognition of a greater truth, recognition of a New Revelation.
This recognition occurs at a deeper level of the mind, beyond the realm of the intellect, beyond the realm of ideas and beliefs and the things that people attach themselves to regarding the Divine Presence and Power in the world.
This Power is so formidable, but it functions through the individual. It works from the inside out. This is how God works in the world.
People want grandiose demonstrations, but the Presence operates differently. It does not make a great show of itself. It speaks to the inner world of the person and reaches from person to person in this way.

What God has given you, however, is so much greater than all of your former requests. God has given you freedom, and with freedom God has given you purpose and direction.
