November 5, 2025 – SIGNS OF THE TIMES!
“Problems are the outward signs of unused inner possibilities.”
― Rollo May.
.
“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.’ The official said to him, ‘Sir, come down before my little boy dies.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son will live.’” John 4:48-50.
“But it does not require a prophet’s perception to discern the signs of these times. The dissolution of the old and the birth of the new are manifest in every walk of life.” Talks on Truth, Charles Fillmore, 123.
“Human beings are discourse. That flowing moves through you whether you say anything or not. Everything that happens is filled with pleasure and warmth because of the delight of the discourse that’s always going on.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 76.
“After contemplating the wonders of your physical body temple and feeling the stirring of the new life which your thoughts will send coursing through you, think again, just as happily and intently, about the mental activities which must depend upon these centers in the body for their success. Let your body know the joy of your loving attention and interest; give it the exercise it needs.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 103.
“If we invoke the name of Buddha or pray to Christ but do not practice love and understanding ourselves, something is wrong. If we love someone, we have to be patient.

“When we pray we pray universally. We pray that all men’s eyes be opened, that the kingdom of God be realized on earth as it is in heaven, that those who are in sin be lifted up and be forgiven — not punished.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 115.
“Like King Canute, you can wade into the sea and forbid the rising tide to rise… But make yourself a channel through which the power of the tide may express itself; study how the tide works and do what you have to do to let it work through you — and the tide will do all your work for you.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 113.
“My choices, including those related to the day-to-day aspects of life, like the use of a modest car, are related to a spiritual discernment that responds to a need that arises from looking at things, at people and from reading the signs of the times. Discernment in the Lord guides me in my way of governing.” ― Pope Francis.
“And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.’ And it was so.” Genesis 1:14-15.
THRIVE IN ’25!
For 2025 our theme is: “Thrive!” According to Webster; to thrive is “1: to grow vigorously: flourish 2: to gain in wealth or possessions: prosper 3: to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances — often used with on, “thrives on conflict.”
As the wholly perfect sinless child of God (Christ) that we are, we are meant not merely to survive, but to thrive. The only things holding us back are our own limiting thoughts and feelings of inadequacy and separation. To which, the Apostle Paul said, “I die every day!” 1 Corinthians 15:31. Each day we have the opportunity to release what was for what can be; we open the door to a new level of understanding and expression of the divine potential within. We are reborn as we are renewed in mind. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2.
Our weekly Prayer Circle letters this year will follow the book ‘Talks on Truth’ by Unity co-founder, Charles Fillmore. “Mind is the only causative power. By the power of the Word, it makes and unmakes all laws governing in personal life. The I AM floats in mind and formulates the words that set mind in motion.” (pg. 82.) When we change our minds, we change our lives. When our consciousness opens up to new awarenesses of being we are ‘born anew’: we begin again to realize peace, wholeness and abundance through greater and more fulfilling channels of expression.
For November we are sharing from Lesson 11: The Restoration of God’s Kingdom.
Thank you for accompanying us on this journey of self-realization and discovery of our Divine potential!
Please affirm with us: “The Kingdom of God is at hand; I realize Peace, Wholeness & Abundance in Divine Order and Divine Timing!”
Thank you God, thank you God, thank you God!
For so it is and so it shall be, Amen!

“But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24.
“The real continues; the seeming passes away. We know that we are healed by right thought, that we can and do raise these sick bodies and restore them to health. Where is the limit to that healing? There is none.” Talks on Truth, Charles Fillmore, 119.
“Keep open the shop where you are not selling fishhooks anymore. You are the free-swimming fish.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 75
“We must understand clearly that the real life of all men is identical with our own and that aside from the one life all is illusion; that all seeming differences in people are caused by selfishness or desire for something separate and apart from God, or our fellow men. Hence, all undue accumulations of money or power by individuals are in direct violation of the divine law.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 19-20.
“There is no need to blame or condemn. Those who destroy themselves, their families, and their society are not doing it intentionally.

Only understanding and compassion on a collective level can liberate us.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 110.
“Some of our enemies are in our own midst in very high places, not that they are evil — I would not even suggest such a thing — only that they are blind and deaf to the spiritual urge.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 114.

“Sometimes you look at a person and see a cynical snake. Someone else sees a joyful lover and you’re both right. Everyone is half and half, like the black and white ox.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 75
“But once the mind takes up a definite program and stirs up interest in things worth while here and now, the body will begin to wake up and to draw the abundant life of Spirit down into the various nerve centers, bones, muscles, and organs. ” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 114.
“The practice of mindfulness is to be aware of what is going on. Once we are able to see deeply the suffering and the roots of the suffering, we will be motivated to act, to practice. The energy we need is not fear or anger but understanding and compassion.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 110.
“When our motive is that God’s grace be made known, that God’s presence be felt, that God’s power be manifest to friend and foe in all lands, then our prayer is with power.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 114.

“Wisdom teaches us not to give our spiritual riches to those who are not connoisseurs of spiritual things.

I’m helpless against this creature even in my own house! Just as you can’t come close, I can’t go out!’ This is how animal energy becomes monstrous and ruins your life’s freshness and beauty.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 734
“THERE is no reason why the machinery in our body temples should wear out, because the Creator is still on the job, building up and renewing His temples to the extent that we permit. When we co-operate by thinking habitually in terms of eternal life, eternal youth, ever-increasing strength, and perfect health, we are renewed moment by moment.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 116.
