And the topic this week is I Am God,
A big,
Bold,
Audacious claim that is scary to a bunch of people and arrogant and off-putting to other people.
And once we get on the inside of it and are able to claim the truth of our God nature and to wear that title of I Am God without it being limiting for anybody else,
Without saying I am God and you're not,
It's not a comparison.
It is an acceptance and an ownership and a recognition of the truth of what we are.
So let's do a prayer about that.
And the prayer is not about being any more God-like than we are.
Because if the truth of the matter is that I am God and that is the case for each of us,
We can't pray to be God.
If it starts out being true,
Then the prayer is completely unnecessary.
And if it's not true,
Then the prayer's not gonna change it.
But we can remind ourselves of that truth.
We can remind ourselves of the truth of the nature of the universe.
So let's take that into prayer and know that there is that one infinite creative power,
That one divine presence,
That one love that shares itself as and through and in all of its creation.
Everything is that one sharing itself as its creation.
We take it back to the beginning.
There was darkness and void in God,
Just God,
God and nothing else.
The rest of it was dark and void,
Empty.
And then God said,
Let there be.
And things began coming into being.
The only thing that existed before they all came into being was God.
In the story of the big bang,
There's the singularity.
One impossibly dense singularity that began expanding and exploding and recombining with itself to create everything that exists.
It's all that one.
Everything is that one.
It's all the God of darkness and void.
It is all the singularity of the big bang.
We are all that one.
Everything that exists everywhere is that one shared in its own specific form.
So there's no question about where we came from.
Everyone listening to me,
Everyone within the sound of my voice and everyone everywhere is an expression and unfolding a recombination of that divine God essence in specific and particular form.
Everything is God's divine love expressed in its own way.
We are each individualizations of that God essence.
So when I say I am God,
I say that on behalf of myself and each one listening,
I am God.
And it must be true because there is nothing else.
There is nothing but God.
And to the degree that that awareness of our divinity,
Of our I am Godness,
If the awareness of the authority and the power and the prestige and the influence and the presence that we are brings it more and more into our awareness,
Then it's serving its purpose.
As we claim I am God,
We get to step up to that next highest and best expression of our godliness,
Inviting in good and more good and more good to our experience and to the experience of everyone we come in contact with.
It shows up in so many,
Many different ways.
It shows up in our health and our vitality,
Our experience in this physical plane of being.
It shows up in our experience of prosperity and sufficiency and enoughness in our lives.
There is plenty.
And as a divine presence,
We are heirs to all of the good that we are willing to accept.
The same thing applies to love.
There is love and harmony and goodness and connection and depth available in every moment.
And I claim it for each of us in whatever way is gonna bring richness and joy and happiness and uplift into our lives.
And in our creativity,
The way that we are taking that divine creative power and channeling it to bring something new and wonderful into our experience,
That's all happening now for each of us individually and all of us together.
When we claim I am God,
We are taking ourselves to that higher place,
Knowing the truth of who and what we are and allowing that divine creative process to create something new and wonderful as us,
Through us,
With us,
And for us.
So we rock our I am Godness.
We accept that mantle and we invite the good to unfold in even more rich and wonderful ways.
I'm grateful for all the good.
I'm grateful for the willingness of each one to step into the truth of who we are.
I'm grateful to be able to speak this word and release it into that creative law that creates everything.
And to know without any question whatsoever,
It's now creating this.
This good is underway now.
This awareness is enhanced and uplifted now.
And so I let it be.
And so it is.
Amen.
