Turn the Golden Key – 1
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to enjoy living every day in peace and harmony with no struggle or worries!
The good news is, you can! Here’s a little secret that will allow you to enjoy life much more. It’s called: The Golden Key.
In October, we will celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the founding of Golden Key Ministry-Unity. We are beginning early and invite you to celebrate with us by learning and turning The Golden Key. If you’ve been with this ministry for even a little while, you probably have already learned and are using this powerful “tool” for living an easier, happier, and healthier life.
The power of The Golden Key is always available to you and is wonderful when you use it for living stress-free. Instead of allowing yourself to worry over a seeming problem, you stop thinking about the problem and think of God instead. That is all you do. Just repeat this simple process whenever a “problem” appears and instead of the usual feelings of anxiety, frustration, and stress, you become peaceful. You have a wonderful feeling that God is taking care of everything, which He is, and you relax, let go, and let Him do it.
Try this little exercise.
- Think of something that may be a trouble or difficulty.
- Check your feelings about it.
- Now, for at least a little while, STOP thinking about that!
- Think of God instead by audibly speaking the following words:
- God is Love. (breathe)
- God is Life. (breathe)
- God is Wisdom. (breathe)
- God is Peace. (breathe)
- God is Power. (breathe)
- God is here. (breathe)
- God is there. (breathe)
- God is everywhere. (breathe)
- God is all there is. (breathe)
- God is within me. (breathe)
- God is in charge and all is well! (breathe)
- Be still for a few moments.
How do you feel now? Better? More peaceful? Repeat the exercise as needed. Turning the Golden Key is so simple, some people do not think it is very effective, but if you did the exercise sincerely, you became more peaceful and less stressful.
Here is another exercise.
- Think of person who is difficult to get along with, or is in some way a “problem” to you.
- At least for the next several moments, STOP thinking about that person’s negative effect on you.
- Instead, slowly and quietly declare:
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- God is love. (breathe)
- Be still for a few moments. If necessary, repeat this exercise.
You may go back to worrying about an apparent problem, if you want to, but why should you? If you are in the habit of worrying, or of taking some kind of action toward a problem, give the Golden Key time to work for you. The more you do it, the better it gets!
This delightful way of taking care of stress-causing problems works with any kind of difficulty, or people. The principle is the same regardless of how serious, large or small a problem or troublesome person may appear to be.
Many people experience very positive results immediately although others need to work a little longer. With practice, it gets easier and better. It’s a magnificent way to take dominion over difficulties, enjoy being stress-free, and opening God’s treasure chest of love, joy, peace, health and prosperity. That is why it is called the GOLDEN Key!
For the next two months, we are giving special attention to encouraging you to turn the Golden Key, and to do so often. Our goal is to get many more people turning the Golden Key. Just imagine how happier, healthier, and more peaceful our world will be! Will you join with us? – Lovingly, Rev. John

Positive Prayer

Golden Keys to Answered Prayer …
Instead of “fighting” to heal an apparent illness, relax, let go, and know that God’s healing presence, power and activity within you is restoring your body to its natural perfection. Fighting to heal something is making it seem real. There is nothing real except God. God is absolute perfect good. When you practice the presence of God in your body, you allow yourself be to renewed in mind and body. God is love and love works miracles!

Let go of Restrictions! – Thank you for your warm and personal letter. I am daily learning that God indeed is on my side, where He’s always been, and I only have to let go and let God have His perfect way in me and in my life. Through this, I have let go of restrictions that I had placed upon myself. My how we do try to confine ourselves to self-imposed limitations! However, I don’t do that anymore. It is good to be free!

A Little Humor …
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he’d make a deal with his son, “you bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study you Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”
His father said he’d make a deal with his son, “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, “Son, you’ve brought you grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The boy said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
Dad’s replied, “Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?”
