To be fully alive, we need to be free. One of the major aspects of Gods work in our lives is continuous cleansing, eliminating all the things that divert our course and consume our energy. The Bible tells us that God takes away every branch that does not bear fruit and prunes every branch that is fruitful, so that it could be more productive (John 15:2). He expects from us to recognize this process and to cooperate with it, because it cannot be accomplished without our will.

I deliberately release from my life all things that do not contribute to my wholeness and well-being. This is a powerful affirmation we can use to help ourselves in this process.

Do you desire to be made whole? (John 5:6), asked Jesus the sick man at the pool of Bethesda. The answer to this question depended entirely on him. The same question is still addressed to each one of us. Jesus taught that we are masters of our lives, and it is within our power to choose life or death, to decide whether we will be whole and free, or sick and and bound.

This fact remains a great mystery for an average person simply because most of our decisions are done at unconscious level. We all were brought to where we are now by our decisions, not by fate or God's predestination. Being aware of this, we begin to take responsibility for what we do with our lives.

Don't say, like a crippled man in the Bible story, Yes, but I have no one to put me into the pool (John 5:7). You don't need to depend on other people (some great teachers or some great healers) for your restoration. Within you, there is a power to become whole. Deep inside, there is a mighty energy that is waiting to be released, to make you sound and strong. Believe in this. Rise up and walk, irregardless of what are your outer challenges!

Release your sickness, and let it go. Release any subconscious desire to be sick, any thought that a sickness may serve a good purpose. Resolve within yourself that you will learn all God's lessons in a better way. Release all the things that you unconsciously invited into your life to make you sick, and walk free again. We choose the new life by releasing the old one. This is true at every level of our existence.

Perhaps, we need to release some of our old ideas about God, ourselves and the world. We often limit our life experiences by our less-than-perfect thoughts. Remember, all thoughts are seeds, and they produce outward manifestations after their kind. Would we like to reap a better harvest? Let us plant better seeds!

Perhaps, we need to release certain unhealthy attitudes, such as guilt, fear, jealousy, possessiveness.

Perhaps, we need to release some of the things that we have, but don't use.

Perhaps, we need to release some of our relationships.

Let us pray in this manner:

God, I am willing to change. I am willing to release and to be released. I know You and trust You. I know Your love and Your care. You never take from my life anything which is good without giving me something better. As I come to You, I realize that my life is a dynamic process of circulation. I am open to the flow of Your new life within me and through me new thoughts, new feelings, new energies, new provision, and new experiences. Behold, You make all things new. I see it, I receive it, and I am made whole.

In the face of those who believe in separation of God from the humankind, saints from sinners, and sacred from profane, I boldly declare the oneness of all life.

In the face of those who believe in hell and eternal damnation for the wicked, I boldly declare my faith in all-encompassing love of God which embraces all and restores all.

In the face of those who believe in human depravity and sinfulness, I boldly declare that each person is made in Gods image and likeness, that Christ lives in everyone.

In the face of those who say that humankind is weak and powerless, I boldly declare that we are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, with no exceptions.

In the face of those who believe that life is a struggle, I boldly declare that life is an adventure, a unique learning experience, and all things that are coming to us are meant to bless us.

In the face of those who believe in moral degradation of humanity and the end times, I boldly declare my faith that these times are the best times in history. We are evolving, and the New Age of light, love, and understanding is getting closer.

In the face of those who insist that their way is the only way, and they have all the answers, I boldly declare that I do not care about being right I do care about being fully alive.

My business is to live, and to live abundantly. Therefore, I do take time to discover the facts of existence and to apply them in my daily life.

I want to be known by my fruits, not by my loud voice. I want my truth to be self-verifying.

I know tat all things increase in my life as I share them, so, I am willing to present to others all I know about reality, trusting that they will be blessed the way I am blessed. I do not believe it is Gods way to hide my light under the bushel.

I am not ashamed to admit that the Way of Unity is the one that brings me satisfaction and fulfillment, that it is the Good News for me.

I present to you these sayings, and ask you to do with them all that you want.

If you agree with them, perhaps, you may send them to your friend, or someone you love, as a reminder of the fact that God is always better than our limited concepts of Him/Her/It.
