THE INNER ROOM

CONTAINING quotations from our replies to those writing us for help in their Spiritual problems. Each day at 12 o’clock noon, we take the names of those asking for such help in the Silence of the Spirit, and “Speak the Word” for them. Many hundreds have testified to receiving the blessings of such ministry.


NO MAN HATH SEEN, NOR CAN SEE JESUS CHRIST

THAT thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in His times He shall shew, Who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; Whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to Whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.—I Tim. 6:14-16.

NOW, regarding your question about the quotation from Timothy. No man hath seen nor can see Christ Jesus, because He is the Holy Spirit of God, and is not a man. What man sees or rather feels is the Great Love of God, and the human mind instantly interprets its vibrations to be and builds a mental picture of the personality of Jesus. It makes no difference, however; for if one feels the Presence of that Great Love and then pictures It as Christ, the good and the purpose of that Presence is accomplished.

Surely Jesus manifested on earth, but no man ever saw the Christ of Him; the nearest approach to seeing the Christ would be to feel the Presence of a Mighty Love within one’s own heart.

That is the reason Jesus told His disciples that He must go away, for if He went not away the Holy Spirit could not come to them. Men’s human eyes and minds are so fixed on Jesus, the man, that they cannot see or know the Christ within themselves.

HOW TO GET STUDENTS WHO WILL PAY

YES, THERE is a way that you can change the polarity of your thinking, and that is first by knowing that your Loving Father, Who is in every one of your students because He is All in all, is not only glad but eager to give the fullness of His life to every one of His children who love and trust Him. Then, if you will simply ask Him in faith to take care of this problem and to send you those pupils who will pay, and put the thought entirely out of your mind, just knowing He will do so, and holding to that knowing without any more concern about it, you will find that a definite change will take place. We have shown you exactly your part, but you must do it.
