Bil & Cher Holton http://www.unityspirituallifecenter.org/blog/?p=182 Do you remember your first job? Mine (Rev. Cher) was working as a waitress in south Jersey, at the Patio Drive Inn – a popular custard stand with a small dining area attached to it. My training consisted of Mary, the lovely Greek owner, handing me a notepad and saying: “You handle the customers at the window in the order they come up. In the dining room, you write the order on this pad and clip it to the board in the back, then listen for George to call ‘Order Up!’ Then you deliver it to the table.” That was it! Sounded simple to my 16-year-old brain – but then came my first order. Hot dog, French fries and a coke. I proudly wrote it out clearly on the notepad to be sure George could read my writing, and clipped it to the board. Then I continued waiting on window customers, listening for the “Order Up!” to be called. Instead, this big Greek man with his apron flying came out of the kitchen waving my note page in the air, yelling something in Greek. It was George – and I thought, “Oh, no, he can’t read my writing!”   But it seems I didn’t need to worry about George being able to read my writing at all . . . George did not read English! Come to find out, there was a special code for every order: for example, FF was French fries; HD was hot dog.  My lesson was learned – No “Order Up!” until you knew how to place the order!

In Matthew 6:33, Jesus as the Christ shares with us the sequence that will create Divine Order in our lives. He says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” This is our guide to Ordering Up the highest and best in our life experience, regardless of what the world of appearance may be.

Let’s take both a quick metaphysical and a practical look at this, so we understand what this really means for us. The Gospel of Matthew, New Metaphysical Version states it this way: “When we live at the speed of our Christ Consciousness, we will not want for anything. Verse 34 goes on to say: “Therefore, we should not concern ourselves about unmanifested good; right thoughts and actions help move possibilities into probabilities and hidden potentials into physical realities.” In other words, when we put things in the right Spiritual Order, by going first to Headquarters and spending quality time there, we quicken our awareness of our Oneness and open ourselves up to hear the Divine Wisdom of Spirit. This sets us up for the “all these things” that will be added. When we’re aligned with Spirit, we can “Order Up” the Divine Ideas, intuitive guidance, and resources we need for our Spiritual Highest and Best, to move through life with grace, inner peace, and joy.

So from a practical standpoint, we want to Order Up a regular Spiritual Practice in our life, so we stay prayed up! Then we can then turn to affirmations to support our Divinely Ordered life. We’d like to  give you the code to “Order Up” the highest and best. It starts be realizing how powerful two words are: “I AM…” Every time you finish a sentence that begins “I Am…” be aware that you are creating an affirmation. But the important thing to remember here is, things don’t become true because we affirm them. We affirm them because they are Truth. So you want to be sure you are grounding all your affirmations in Truth!

As we think about codes related to our affirmations, there is a Universal template for affirmations:  “I AM THAT I AM.”

Think about it … and how powerful it really is. ‘I am that I am.’ Consider the idea that maybe, just maybe, there’s something very significant missing in this powerful phrase as we commonly say it. What if a comma is missing? What if the phrase really says, “I am THAT (comma) I am.” “I am THAT, I am.” Whatever the THAT is, is your affirmation! For example, the THAT could be “I am such an idiot!” OR it could be “I am God expressing at the point of me.” What do you want to “Order Up?”

Every time you say, “I am God expressing at the point of me,” you raise your soul vibration. You raise your spiritual octave to a Christed level. You align your human self with your Christ Self. It actually creates an increase in your energy level. Let’s try it:

“I AM” –2 simple, but powerful soul defining words -  They launch a powerful vocal vibration that holds the key to unbelievable Spiritual growth that leads to your ability to Divinely Order your experience. It’s up to you to “Order Up” what you want.

Every time you say, “I am God expressing at the point of me” you are “Ordering Up” your Divinity.

Every time you say, “I am unlimited prosperity expressing as me” you are “Ordering Up” your abundance.

Every time you say, “I am radiant health expressing as me” you are “Ordering Up” your wholeness and vitality.

Every time you say, “I am pure joy expressing as me” you are “Ordering Up” your inner peace and happiness.

So here’s the Divine Power of Order as it relates to your Spiritual experience:

  • Go first to the Headquarters of our Spiritual Oneness (Seek ye first), and reconnect your awareness of Oneness;
  • Then, affirm with confidence the Truth of who you are.

With the ORDER in the proper sequence, we can “Order Up” a life that is joyful, peaceful, and Divine , and claim: I AM that … I AM – I Am God expressing at the point of me ..  and I “Order Up” my ability to master the art of living as I walk the Spiritual Path on Practical feet … I AM.

Bil & Cher Holton http://www.unityspirituallifecenter.org/blog/?p=79 Bil & I believe prosperity is living faithfully, joyfully, and confidently at the speed of your Christ consciousness. That’s our definition! When you do that, you are in a place of KNOWING that you will never lack, regardless of what situation or appearance of lack life may throw at you!

True prosperity is the consciousness of God as the inexhaustible, constant, everywhere present resource, unfailing and ready for all. God is not a Being out there withholding our good; it is us who are not truly embracing the principles which allow us to receive our good.

We’ve heard so much about Prosperity – so why isn’t it always working for us? It just might be because we don’t truly grasp the foundational principles. We get some of them, some of the time – but just imagine what we could do if we got them all, all the time! So we would like to offer the metaphor of pillars: imagine 4 strong, solid pillars, supporting your prosperity consciousness. If any one of these pillars is weak or missing, it just won’t hold up and support your complete prosperity Consciousness!

Over the next several articles, we’ll be discussing these pillars – what they mean, the Truth Principles behind them, and a few practical ways to begin demonstrating each one, to make it LIVE for you! Let’s start with the first pillar.

Pillar 1: Demolition!

Sounds extreme? It should! Think about the popular TV show Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Before this famous crew can begin building the perfect home for a deserving family, they need to implement a Demolition of the old house. But they don’t just tear it down in a boring way. This team creates a CELEBRATION out of the demolition process. That is the spirit we want to approach our demolition pillar – not with any guilt, regret, or shame. Celebrate the decision to release what is blocking your good, so you are open and receptive to receive what is yours to have. Demolition is really important, because it is a visible symbol that we believe in God as the inexhaustible source. We are releasing, letting go, knowing that something far better is there for us. We need to create some demolitions on four levels: Physical; Mental; Emotional; and Spiritual.

PHYSICAL Demolition: The physical world of things is an outer manifestation of what’s going on within us, so it is very important to be aware of it. When our outer world is cluttered, unorderly, and overwhelming, it is a signal that we are out of sync on the spiritual realm. So we want to practice the act of demolition on the physical clutter in our life, releasing things that are no longer serving us.

Giving stuff away is good, but here’s an adventure that will really amp up your Prosperity Consciousness. Look around your house and find one thing you like, but that you are not using at all. Then think about someone you know who could use it, would absolutely love it, and would truly get great joy from having it. Then give it to them. Free, no strings attached. For the joy of giving!

(Example from Cher: My mother had a beautiful set of green crystal etched goblets someone gave her and my dad as a wedding gift. They NEVER used them – they were too fragile and beautiful for everyday use. She gave them to us, and we love them; we use them often, just to drink water from! She gets excited every time she visits, and sees them being used!)

This week, look for ways to perform a “Demolition” on the physical realm of your being. Release things that are no longer serving you and see what happens!

Next article, we will explore the Mental Realm for Demolition!
