      Reminder From Jesus & Mary

      Jesus and Mary would like to remind you that any document produced by Divine Truth containing any information from Jesus, Mary or any other person includes only a portion of God's Truth that they have personally discovered.

      It does not and cannot contain the entire of God's Truth since God's Truth is infinite and humankind will forever continue to discover more of God's Truth as we progress in receiving more of God's Love.

      Please remember that due to these limitations information contained within this document may need to be revised in the future.

      Many other ebooks have been published by Divine Truth, including ebooks translated into a variety of different languages.

      Faith & Prayer: Session 2 Part 1

      1. Introduction

      G'day, everyone, how are you this morning?

      As you can see, Mary's joining me today. (Applause) We want to continue with the discussion about faith for a little while longer this morning before we get onto the subject of prayer. The main reason why is because I didn't cover everything I needed to cover yesterday about faith, and so I wanted to introduce a few more topics to you.

      Mary: I felt there was a little bit of resistance in the audience yesterday. A few things were confronted. I always sit there like a little cheerleader going, Put up your hand! Ask your question! (Laughs) You know, just say it! It'll be okay! (Laughs)

      Mary: Often I can feel Jesus is explaining something but there are a lot of questions in people's minds, but nobody just says, Look I don't get it. And I feel like when people take what feels like a risk to do that, a lot more clarity comes for a lot of other people. So I'd like to encourage you guys to just go, I don't get it.

      Participant: I’ve heard you say in the past that when you become at-one with God our faith will actually increase that we can do that.

      It will but unfortunately it's only an intellectual kind of a faith that grows under those circumstances.

      1.1. Engaging Divine Truth emotionally rather than intellectually

      Participant: The other thing was I think I've become one of those neurotic paranoid people who is so worried about being in addiction and figuring stuff out. You said yesterday you don't do that. I'm going, What?!

      No. No I'm not very neurotic.

      Participant: No, no I realise this!

      Mary: Or intellectual.

      Even though others might claim I am. (Laughs)

      Participant: Yeah. I think it's all that injury about wanting to be perfect and do it right, so I've heard you say that you write lists about addictions and...

      Well one of the biggest problems that most people face is you're still trying to do everything intellectually rather than emotionally. When you do that, you end up with these kinds of problems, the kind of problems where you're getting worried about everything and what's going on, you can see the addiction but nothing's really happening. You're trying to heal it but nothing's going on with that either.

      You end up in this space where you're really just trying to do what anybody else who's heard any truth in the past would do, and what most people in religions do; that is they hear some truth and then they become very concerned about having to follow it, and they use all of their might. If I could say might in the sense of all of their intellectual strength and all of their effort goes into trying to follow it, but they don't realise there's some kind of resistance in their soul to following it. If you get rid of the resistance in your soul, then everything's easy.

      So if you're only focused on the resistance in your soul that is far more powerful than focusing on everything else and doing everything else.

      1.1.1. Feeling through addictions

      Mary: So we've often spoken about before and I feel the most powerful way to deal with the addiction is to feel how much you want it. A lot of people go, "Oh I got that addiction. I’ve got to stop it, got to stop it. Okay what's the causal? What's the causal? How am I going to
