“Appreciating Islam” featuring Nashwan Hamza at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on March 7, 2010.

Summary

Salaam Alaikum, Friends in Unity,

The way of peace through submission to the will of God has really been around since Creation. This is the 95% of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism that is identical. A Muslim (literally one who submits to the will of God) feels our purpose here in this Earthly existence is two-fold. First is to live in harmony– even to differentiate among the peoples of the Earth is to fail in that. Second is to study to know God, Who is evidenced by everything around us.

Is it a coincidence that Unity began as study groups, and that our classes are a mainstay for us still? And do we not strive for harmony with each other, our community, our world around us? We say every Sunday, “In striving to know You, God, we are one.” How affirming to know our Unity with those of “other” faiths!

So peace to you; salaam alaikum!

Summary

“If you pour your words of faith into the omni-present substance, you will be prospered though all the banks in the world be closed.”

–Charles Fillmore.

Our journey to prosperity thus far has 6 steps. Today they are united in the 7th.

The 6 are:

Be clear of your purpose, which is defined by your passion – those things that are important to you. The Universe is as committed to your success as you are, providing all that you need to manifest it.
Through healing and forgiveness clear away that which blocks your success from coming to you.
Jump into the flow of God’s giving nature by your giving – your tithing.
Attune to God’s goodness through the power of prayer.
Since that which we affirm with our focus is manifested, strive to live complaint free. Use your powers for good.
Our caring actions bring into manifestation the love of God in this 3D world.

The 7th step is to express your gratitude for God’s goodness, even in the face of challenges.

Do not “Thank God” as a victim as that will attract more of the same. Know that there is no thought of lack in God’s mind. As spiritual, creative beings we know there is something good, something wonderful and whole coming. Often we can’t see it, but we know it’s got to be there.

“Thank You, God, for the goodness that is there that must come forth.”

If you are willing to let God’s goodness flow in and through your life, even when facing challenges, say, “Thank You, God!”

“Sacred Love” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on February 14, 2010.

Watch the Broadcast

Summary

When we love, the One we are really loving is God. When love is present, the limits we normally see do not bind us. The state of love can change us from moment to moment. Commit to love and care.

Care is applied love. How powerfully we care expresses our love. Our first assignment is to be the love we are and care for ourselves and others.

The gift of love opens us to see others as they truly are. However, they do not need to choose to bring forth the truth we see. We often combine our vision with our expectations, but love need not return through the ones we love.

The gift of love frees us. Through the feeling and practice of care, we are being the instrument of love. The gift can come any way. Sometime it gives us time to be alone. The assignment is the same, to love and care for someone, even if it is yourself.

When we love, the One we are really loving is God.

Sermon, 07 February 2010 – Complaint Free Living

John — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:00:15 +0000

“Complaint Free Living” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on February 7, 2010.

Summary

Do you want to affirm your limitations? Do you want more of what you are complaining about? Then keep complaining! When we speak our words, we put our power of creation out into the world. We put our thoughts into three dimensional being. We must become conscious of our creative power.

By putting our thoughts into the three dimensional world we draw to us that which we speak.

The nature of God is wholeness which is always present. Let us affirm the wholeness of the goodness of God. Acknowledging even the darkness as part of the whole, let us speak the world we want to exist. Break through to the next level.

Join others in creating a Complaint Free World. Join in the “ripple effect which will become a cascade of positivity around the world bringing about greater harmony, understanding, prosperity and peace.“ (from the vision statement, A Complaint Free World)

Sermon, 31 January 2010 – Praying Through a Storm featuring Sheila Gautreaux

John — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:00:12 +0000

“Praying Through a Storm” featuring Sheila Gautreaux” at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 31, 2010.

Summary

You have the power. Be in awe of yourself. You are a child of the Grand Operational Design – G.O.D. Thus you are royal. You do not want or need anything, as that implies lack. Whatever you require you already have. Command it to manifest.

When your prayers are unanswered it is because your affirmations are butting up against a core belief which counters your desires. Ask, “What is grabbing my emotions? What grabs my thoughts?” That is what you are praying. That is what your attention is directing the endless possibilities into manifesting. Bruce Lipton explains that even our DNA responds to our emotions. But DNA really stands for Do Not Accept anything as stopping you. You have the power.

Pray, “God, I want to know You more.” The more you know God, the more you know your truth.

Say to yourself, “I am whole now. I am healthy now. I am wealthy now.” Call forth your good with belief and feel it throughout your body in every one of your trillion cells. Feel the wave of truth move from the soles of your feet up through your body and out through the crown of your head. Let go, you couldn’t be safer letting God. “Holy Spirit does the singing. All you need to do is show up and look cute.”

"Prosperity Principles: Tithing" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 24, 2010.

Summary

Here are the steps for bringing abundance into your life this year.

Step 1. Go into the Silence. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." Affirm "God is my instant, constant, abundant supply."

Step 2. Attune to your purpose. Make your choices in your heart; follow your passion.

Step 3. Open to receive. Remove those blocks to your abundance by freeing yourself through forgiveness. Unburden yourself. "Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me."

This week's lesson:

Step 4. Expand the flow of good in your life through giving. "As you give it is given to you." Everything is God's after all. But it is not ours to give all. Our abundance is to be used with wisdom. Seek guidance to find what is yours to say "yes" to. The greatest tool for expanding your flow is tithing. It is the acknowledgment that God is your source. It is acknowledging the beautiful goodness that is flowing in you, through you, creating and expanding your physical world. It is knowing that God is your partner. Even loss is God coming through. Yet loss is minimized and gain maximized. Bring your highest perceptions through into the physical. Become an instrument for transformation in the world. And tithing is saying, "Thank You God!"

Thank You God! Thank You God! Thank You God!

"Prosperity Principles: Forgiveness (weekly series part 3 of 4)" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 17, 2010.

Summary

To prosper, we have to transform that which blocks out our good. We need to remove or transform the barriers of anger, resentment, hate, and fear we have built which block our propserity from flowing. We need to unburden ourselves, to free ourselves. Forgiveness is not about the other person, it is about letting go of our pain again and again until it is gone. To do this, we need to bring the awareness of the goodness of God into the feelings of hate, etc. You must really want to be free of the burden. Ask for the pain to be healed. Bring the love and compassion, that Divine Presence into the pain to be healed. Find it in that deep peace. That Divine Love has the power to free us, to lift us.

"Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me."

"Prosperity Principles: Finding Your Purpose (weekly series part 2 of 4)" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 10, 2010.

Summary

Sometimes we are sure of our purpose in this life, but the universe does not seem to be saying "yes", we are not meeting with much success at all. So we go within and check our guidance, and the purpose we were sure of is affirmed! Why, then, is the universe not responding with abundant success? This is when we need to re-align ourselves with our purpose. We need to re-align our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. We need to ask ourselves, "What are we showing up with?" Even addiction and childhood trauma can be transformed if we walk through them aligned on purpose.

So to re-align yourself in every aspect, change your consciousness. Bring the power of your heart into it. Our individual purpose is in our hearts, not our heads. It is passion that points us in the direction of our purpose. You have the capability of creating abundance – it is the work you are about. You are to give form to the Universal Energy. Make a choice in your heart. Show up and transform. The universe will say, "Yes!" and abundant success will flow in and through your life.

Marianne Williamson said, “Your playing small serves no one.” Well, living on purpose, manifesting your purpose, is playing “big”. You are not just creating what you are about. Your abundance, your purpose flows into the world transforming it as well. You are creating a different world!

“The Consciousness of Christmas” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on December 27, 2009.

Summary

We look forward to Christmas with such childlike anticipation. The sense of community seems world-wide, universal, as we eagerly open to the rebirth of the awareness of the Christ Child among us, in us. That pure love in which we realize we are the instruments of the flow of God’s love to all, freely sending good wishes and giving gifts big and small. We are especially moved to give to those in the community with obvious need. We donate to food banks and charity drives anonymously, blindly.

All too soon, though, our ebullient spirits fade as we reach overwhelm, believing we cannot possibly have the means to serve all those in need among us. We wistfully put away our sense of universal community for another year, asking, “Why can’t the spirit of Christmas last all year long?”

However, this expanded consciousness does not need to end! You do have the means; your resources are infinite. You have the power within to maintain this expanded consciousness. You know how love transforms. Send it forth. Send forth the expanded Christmas awareness. Stay in the beauty and effectiveness; create by your intention. Send the beauty and light to those in need. You are the instrument of that transformation. You are a co-creator! Send the spirit of Christmas.

As Rev. David says, “Sing Christmas carols all year long.”

The Bible says, “Let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions” (1 John 3:18 NLT). We can talk a good act: “I love people.” But do we really love them? Do you really love them? Our love is revealed in how we act toward them.’

–Daily Hope, Posted by Rick Warren, December 10 2009

Let us take these wise words to heart, and take action this Christmas. Yes, we’re sending off a small mountain of shoes. We can join the carolers at Kensington Retirement Home Monday at 7. How many Red Cross kettles have you passed this year without dropping you change in? Just take a moment and think of the many opportunities you have to go only a little out of your way and thereby make this a wonderful Christmas season for you and yours and someone you don’t even know. Love is a verb of action.

Merry Christmas everyone!

“Becoming an Instrument” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on December 13, 2009.

Summary

The angels of the Christmas story show God communicates with us directly, that we are connected with God and that it is a two way street. And the message in the Christmas story calls us each to be an instrument for bringing forth that which is greater. With our willingness and commitment to do so, and our moving on it, we need not know for what end. We might be an instrument of healing of body or heart. Or maybe we’ll bring peace into a family. We likely will never know, but the world will change because of our faithful action.

So with each Christmas carol you hear this season, with every gift you choose and every cookie you bake, celebrate. Celebrate because you got the message, God is talking to you. If you listen, if you reply, “What is mine to do?”, and open up to it, then, just as on that first Christmas night, the angels will sing “Glory to God in the highest; peace to all of good will”.

Summary

“Now… scientists have realized …that the invisible, immaterial realm is far more important than the material realm… The new science …shows that your thoughts, your attitudes, your beliefs, and the invisible environment, are more primary in shaping your life than anything in the physical world is.” –Bruce Lipton, author and leading proponent of Epigenetics.

How lucky we are to live in these times in which science is actually proving our spirituality rather than treating it with disdain! And how lucky to know that we access our inner power and the “invisible environment” simply with the most basic of all life-giving steps — our breathing.

“I become centered now… With each breath I take in… I affirm … I am in the presence of God now and always. As I exhale… “Thank You, God!”… As I breathe in rhythm with God-life, I am renewed and energized.”

- Daily Word – June 1, 2009

Summary

“…The divine essence within me, is my guide to spiritual living… Whether in an established time of prayer or a moment’s sigh of release, I am lifted into the light of divine potential where I receive guidance and inspiration. I consciously connect with the Christ and prepare to meet my good, to succeed and to prosper in my endeavors… ‘God chose to make known how great… are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’–Colossians 1:27″ Daily Word- October 15, 2009

Thank you Rev. David for the “how to”:

Begin with being grateful for the people, animal friends, or events in your life which take you right to that place within that feels closest to God. Then acknowledge the power and love that flows through your heart. Now feel your conscious union of mind and heart with God.

You empower your knowledge with your feeling. You “enliven” it. Now you can live it. God bless.

“Cinderella (part 2): Mystical Union ” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on November 8, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

As we ponder the now moment, we might think of ourselves slicing time into ever thinner slices like a biologist slicing a specimen for a microscope slide. A video freeze frame is another good analogy in which a moment is frozen. That is the now. An instant in which motion and progression are not apparent– there is only the stop-action of the moment. Imagine how our solar system would look “in the now”– like a photo or drawing showing all the planets suspended in their orbits. As we ponder, we get the feeling the planets are bursting to move, they have to. The measure of potential energy ready to act is beyond our reckoning. If the planets don’t move, we feel they will explode, the potential energy is so great.

Isn’t this the potential Charles Fillmore directed us to appropriate with our intention? Remembering who we are with our minds and feeling or experiencing that knowledge with our hearts, we can, in the now moment, direct our potential to make it real. It can become reality. In the now moment when things appear to be suspended, we can nudge things into the right direction. We can “intend” them to be what fulfills our heart’s desire. We can manifest the life we came here to live. Just as Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper and claimed her right place in the kingdom, we too can slip into the now moment whenever possible in our busy day, if only for a second. In the now moment, we can direct our potential by envisioning our lives lived to their fullest, our potential becoming manifest. We can claim our rightful place in the Kingdom, and “live happily ever after”.

“Cinderella (part 1): Story of Transformation ” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on November 1, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

Like the flower in the field reaching up to the sun, we strive to transform ourselves into what we came here to be. While positive thinking readies us, to rise to the next level we need to enfold ourselves in the love of God.

“My heart receives the comforting balm of God’s love. . .The love of God is a soothing balm, and it is also a great restorative power. . God’s love can never be diminished; good continuously pours into our lives in new and wonderful ways.” Daily Word - June 21, 1988

This is how we empower ourselves, and open ourselves to receive that good that is poured upon us without measure. As the vibrant colors of the flowers radiate their glory, let us radiate God’s love from our hearts. Let us transform ourselves into the beings we came here to be.

” The Soul of Money ” by Rev. Suzanne Leonard at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on October 25, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

Our faith sustains us. When we realize that God loves us– that the power and intellect of the universe has nothing but love for us– what else do we need?

Faith is more than simply a knowing or belief, more than just answers. Faith includes expectation, a confidence that good is unfolding.

Be certain for God’s presence and grateful for life’s possibilities. Learn to live from your spiritual center. Know that you can be healed, abundantly blessed, and be lifted in spirit, no matter what your background or personal history. Leave the past in the past. Look at the future with a deep and certain faith. Know that we are all created by God and richly deserving. Pray in faith, certain that God’s spirit is within each of us and that the right outcome is coming forth. — Daily word, October 22^nd, 2004.

“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” -Mark 11:24

Mike Robbins asked, “How would you live if your every need was taken care of?” In faith, we know everything needed is already given, every prayer is already answered. So be joyous. Dance.

Summary

The 23^rd psalm has calmed fear for millennia. In this new millennium, it couldn’t be more powerful or timely:

Spirit cares for me; everything needed is given.

She made me for lying down in green pastures;

She is the serene Provider.

In Spirit I return to wholeness;

Following the light of Spirit I tread a path of truth.

Yes, even though I go through the darkest of times,

I am not afraid, for You are always with me.

Your corrections and guidance comfort me.

You honor and celebrate me in spite of all my fears;

You shield me from distraction; I live in true abundance.

I know goodness and mercy will always be with me

And I will live in the light of Your presence forever.

And so it is.

“Oh God! Shifting to your God-Self” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on September 27, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

Can we use fear as a tool?

We control tools to increase our powers. The very act of considering fear as a tool reduces the power we allow fear to have over us. Mike Robbins says fear is a sign we are on the edge or verge of something.

Be thankful Spirit has directed your attention. As you know, God is good all the time. So for whatever the reason, Spirit has turned your attention to an issue. Since everything needed is already given, then you are already given the resolution of that issue.

To quell the fear and find the resolution, raise your awareness of God’s love for you. Enfold yourself in it. Be thankful that there is change coming, even if it looks fearful. God is always saying yes. We simply have to find the “yes”. So ask, “Divine Presence, what action will release the flow of your goodness in my life?” Remain
