11/11: God's wake-up call

11/11: God's wake-up call

  1. Your words and message today couldn't have been more perfect for what I have really really been needing to hear the past few days. It was as if it was God's message just for me, and yet I know its also meeting the needs of everyone else out there! How special is this Science!! Thank you so much.

  2. Perfect thought for this morning! Thanks!

  3. I love that thought of living in the nowness of God's love and wholeness. Great to hear your voice again!

    Love, Cathryn Rathsam

  4. Thank you so much. All great ideas and
    very helpful.

  5. I love the idea of our waking only to Christ, Truth. Thank you for your clear message on the importance of being ever spiritually alert. How natural it is to respond to God's wake up call--inspiring us to watch with the Saviour in a labor of Love.

  6. Sweet! I am awake, and I will seize the moment!

  7. At 2;30 in the morning I realy do need to know that the Christ , Truth is ever present and that we are always in our right place with God, Love.

  8. Thank you so much, what a perfect thought to start our day with!

  9. Constant, continuous, good is going on!

  10. The same as 5.Cassie. - Thank you!

  11. Very timely. Thanx so much

  12. Really loved and appreciated this wake up call!

  13. Thank you so much for a great message to start the day with and the assurance that God is with us every day and in every situation.

  14. Thank you Barbara. I love the idea of "acknowledging only the good and the true of each moment." For me this also includes each spoken and written (e-mail) word!

  15. , Barbara

    Your lift tODAY IS AN ANGEL MESSAGE THAT THE kingdom OF

    Thank you Barbara for THE ANGEL thought that the KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US!!

  16. Thank you for this wake up call. To be anew....sin is healed...sickness is healed...God's infinite Love is clear. We just have to be alert and listen. Obedient and focused on God' Truth. Wake up and go forth with Love.

    I love the Christian Science lesson today, as Jesus forgave all sins and healed disease. And in the Bible stories the individuals were focusing on Christ's feet. It didnt matter what part of Jesus...just focus on the Christ- the healing Truth. They woke up to the Christ Love and were healed.

    Glad for the beautiful Mother church and the Bible lessons.

  17. Had just been re-reading notes taken from your CA. lecture, The Healing Power of Prayer: that "we always have a choice when challenges come up:
    to pray/reach out earnestly to God or to react in fear, anxiety or negativity"
    (such an appropriate reminder to me in a current situation-and then I came to check the Daily Lift, to hear this other really lovely "wake-up call". Thank you.

  18. Thank you so much Barbara.

  19. Thanks! In Christian Science I can look forward to each day, knowing that God is leading me. Your words were a comforting reminder.

  20. Not sleeping but awakening to God's omnipresence is living. Thanks for great expressions.

  21. How interesting that just before I sat down to listen to today's Daily Lift, I received a very similar thought about being new, or different, each day. Your message, Ms. Fife, helped me lift that thought to a more spiritual level.
    Thank you. And thanks to the staff and lecturers that bring us thoughts that help us "put on the new man" each morning.

  22. I needed that awake call....much thanks and love....John

  23. It feels so good and right to be AWAKE! now and every moment. Thank you so much for a wonderful "wake up call" this morning. I love it!

  24. Dear Barbara

    Your wake up call was the answer to my prayer as I needed to start with thanking God for all my blessings and Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone!!

  25. THANKS, BARBARA, FOR YOUR VERY ENLIGHTENING DAILY LIFT. YOU BROUGHT LIGHT TO THE VERB "TO SLEEP", SIMPLY SEARCHING IN THE DICTIONARY. AS I HADN'T DID IT BEFORE, I THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT AND SHARING WITH ALL OF US WHAT YOU FOUND OUT. IT'S AMAZING HOW THESE DAILY LIFTS ARE ARE INSPIRED AND INSPIRING. YOUR WORDS HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE HELPFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

  26. Thank you for this message that inpires us to be awake an live thoughtfully.

  27. Barbara: This is a very compelling message....to live with "critical discernment in thought" sounds very much like living awake to His Kingdom here and now, and it feels like a rebuke to the useless criticism of others. God is blessing your good work. Thank you!

  28. When I awoke this morning I thought, I will put aside all habit thoughts of what the day should be and not live in the way of yesterday. I am open to Gods newness of Life. Thank You, Your message strengthens mine

  29. From my childhood I recall a favourite hymn -- "New every morning is the love / Our waking and uprising prove / " Thank you for these thoughts.

  30. Very good! Thank you for the wake up call as it says in Psalms 17:15 New International Version " And I—in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."

  31. Thank you :)

  32. Striving to live each moment, awake to God - it's the kind of wake-up call I need! Thank you!

  33. Thank you so much for this beautiful guidance. The world is crying out for help and we can give it only if we care enough to be awake to the healing Christ. To be aware of God's presence in the midst of all of us and to deny that evil has any place, presence or power.

  34. LOVED YOUR THOUGHT WERE SOOOO RIGHT THAT THE DEMAND THAT AS AS CHRIST AWAKENS~~ ITS A GOOD IDEA TO LIGHT YOUR FIRE AND GET GOING IN THIS WAY--GODS" DAY" SO MUCH MOTHERING THANKS BOL-- TO ALL YOU

  35. Perfect! What a wake-up call for me today -- and every day.

    Thank you.

  36. Loved the message! I felt the newness!

  37. Thank you, Barbara, for these sacred words. "If you obey my commands-----you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." We need to be awake to his commands before we can obey them, don't we? Such a wonderful reason to stay awake to God's Kingdom! The servants of the prodigal's Father were awake and full of love to go and get the royal garments for the son, at the Father's command. Let's take off the old, and put on a new perception today. With God all things are possible. Love to all the "uplifted and uplifting" today.

  38. Thanks for the pep talk. Rising and shining have sometimes been difficult for me. These thoughts will help to wake me up each day.

  39. Loved this thought of being brand new every morning! Sometimes I go a step further and say "we are brand new every MOMENT" that does away with any thought of age or the lie of "time"......this is such a powerful and healing thought, thank you so much!

  40. Today I received an email from someone saying nothing ever stays the same - everything changes. I believe that God's love never changes. It is always the same and always will be. Thank you!

  41. Barbara: This is one of the most inspiring message that I ever heard. Today is the day of the great awakening! I was thinking this morning, how stars on the celestial sphere were grouped together into constellations and together just move in perfect harmony and perfect equilibrim without touching each other, and just radiate and do not have to beg each other (or excuse themselves) just move each other in perfect harmony with their luminosity and radiance,..

    Why not us today?

    Why not to be awake and aware that today everything is just moving in the perfect direction and harmony together with "The Celestial Science ofl Bieing"? We are enjoying our onesness with God and we radiate inner joy. Thanks a bunch!. .

  42. Absolutely beautiful! This touched my heart; this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you!

  43. My thought today, is "seeing clearly God's creation"...Your thoughts about waking to the Christ and Truth go along perfectly with this. Thank you.

  44. Barbara, Thank you so much for your thoughtful message today about being awake to God's call, each moment in spirit. Also for pointing out the negative side of not being awake - inattentive, careless, unconcerned. This message makes me think of Jesus' words - arise, take up thy bed and walk. I am up!! :)

  45. Thank you so very much for this call to "wake up"--from the dream of life in matter, the illusion that anything unGodlike can shape or determine our moments and days. Right now, I am opening my heart to the truth of waking up to the utter powerlessness of the belief of contagion. Thank you for this truly up-lifting thought.

  46. Thanks for the uplift! I am waking up and putting on the "new man".

  47. Very interesting what has just happened to me!
    I was trying to open the file of todays´daily lift and didn´t succeed, so I started reading the comments about been alert, aware or awoken and immediatly I affirmed that nothing can prevent me from been aware, alert or awoken to the only Truth that governs and guides me. After a quite number of trials to open the file I finally succeeded!
    The words poured into my conscience filled me with great joy!
    Even when we are apparently sleeping God is watching and caring for us, for He never sleeps or rests and so are we.
    Thanks a lot!!!

  48. Awakening to the newness and freshness of God's angel thoughts is all we can be doing as The reflections of Mind, God. God is pouring forth more than we accept. How lovely to know that we are awake and never can sleep. Thank you so much for this daily lift.

  49. Thank- you

  50. Grateful to know that the "wake up call" comes directly from God.
    Thank you so much!

  51. It's so nice to know that a wake up call can occur at anytime of the day...morning, noon or night. Truth never sleeps, and it's always accessible to all of us- anytime!! Thank you for sharing your lovely words today, Barbara!

  52. Beautiful!!! I love how being awake means so much more!!! So my eyes are not just opened, but I am watchful, expectant, and grateful.

    Thank you and have a graceful day everybody.

  53. Awake to the demands of Love; watchful for the blessing to express; gratitude for all that Love gives; joyful to demonstrate the new way of be-ing - life in the moment, in the Now! Thank you Ms Fife, for all these thoughts you inspired today!

  54. Thank you, Babara, and all who respond to this wake up call.
    I love the word " Unfolding " It means heaven is already within
    us, forever unfolding so I pray to be awake and aware and listen
    to the still small voice of Truth.

  55. Thank you for what a wonderful new way of thinking of awakeness. To truly be awake and aware, not slumbering through daily life. How wonderful!

  56. How wonderful to know that each healing is an awakening from "sense to soul".

  57. What a beautiful wake up call message. Thank you so much dear Barbara.

  58. Wow thats really a wake up call.A

  59. Wonderful helpful ideas. Thank you. We can't sleep when God is ever-appearing in consciousness.

  60. Thank you Barbara! I'm excited to witness the good and the truth today :)

  61. Thanks, Hilary, for introducing me to the beautiful hymn from your childhood. I looked it up on Google and it's so beautiful and I'll hold it dear.

  62. Thank you for this inspiriing message.

  63. Thanks so much, Barbara. What a lovely message today - Remembrance Day. I awoke this morning knowing that we are honoring those who have unselfishly and fearlessly served their countries; not those who have "fallen." Each one of us is awake to know that man has never fallen and never could fall from the arms of Divine Love, but dwells forever in His embrace. Many thanks for such an inspiring message that I will carry with me moment by moment.

  64. A true bugle call fpr me. especially when I listened to your great message 3 times. Then each detail gets properly embeded. From the wonderful canyons and mesas of Utah. gratefully and cordially my thanks.

  65. I must have "heard this message" before I even "opened my eyes" this a.m.
    I am very grateful for this healing message and I dearly appreciate as Lois Carlson mentioned:

    ..."to live with “critical discernment in thought” sounds very much like living awake to His Kingdom here and now, and it feels like a rebuke to the useless criticism of others."

    The useless criticism of others...a silly novel! Definitely NOT my bio!

  66. Thank you Barb for waking us up to the activity of the Christ, always at work in human consciousness. And thanks Ruby (#54) for the reminder to pay attention to and cherish "the still small voice" of Truth.

  67. That was an awesome wake-up call, Barbara. "In Him, we live, and move, and have our being" reminds me that our being is the constant, conscious awareness; not only when we are up and around, but always in the moment with the Christ. That was a terrific lesson! Have a new, good and now day, every day!!

  68. I always seem to recall hymns when I listen to the Lift,s message. Hymn #14 Arise, arise and shine, and #202 O dreamer leave thy dreams for joyful waking, o captive rise and sing for thou art free. What a wake up call for every morning. I love your dear soft voice and the message. Much love and thanks.

  69. Thank you, Barbara for the morning message on this
    Canadian Rememberance Day.
    And thanks to Hilary Tann for reminding us of that old favorite
    hymn, "New every morning is the love
    Our wakening and uprising prove."

  70. We are awake every moment to Spirit, to our Father Mother God. Listening to and being a witness to His ideas. We are all awake and at one with infinite goodness always. Everyone is. Thankyou Barbara for your wonderful thoughts!

  71. I'm so grateful to be reminded of the importance of staying vigilant and awake, - to strive to keep our thoughts constantly turned Spiritward throughout each day. I'll be listening to this Daily Lift over and over again. Thank you, Barbara

  72. Barbara, Many thanks for that soothing and insightful message. I have kept it in my messages and played it over 3 times already. And forwarded it to Lyn to share the joys of Christian Science

  73. Dear Barbara, what a lovely thought u shared with us all!! Really, we recieve God's wake up call at every moment, with every experience, which wake us up in Spirit from the false senses. Its very well said that we only awake with Christ's Truth...
    Just what I wanted today... :-)
    Thanks a lot for this wake up call...
    And also thanks to all who commented on this lift... Love you all...

  74. It seems that I am often hearing the daily lifts in the middle of the night because I have not been able to sleep. There are so many advertisements these days for sleep aids, and many people feel stress and anxiety from insomnia, and the media overwhelms us with stories of celebrities who seek the most dangerous and deadly means of dealing with their inability to sleep. But today's lift tells us that it is not in the unconsicous repose of sleep that we find true rest and renewal; rather, they are found only in being awake to Spirit. I will now be less concerned with sleeping (or not sleeping) and focus my efforts on being more spiritually awake. Thank you.

  75. Barbara, Thank you so much for this wonderful message "God's wake-up call". It was what I needed to hear this morning. Knowing that I am always awake to the truth of our Divine Father Mother God Love. Giving each of us whatever it is that we need.

  76. "Go your ways." This was overlooked by me, until recently. As each of the Daily Lift listeners go their ways today, inspired and alert in their joyous round, inspired by the same message, but so individual in its application, they are not fettered, but freed to fuller expression. Many thanks.

  77. thanks for this summary of what it means to be awake and alert. I felt sleepy and dull last evening, but joyously awake today as I expect to receive in humility Mind's active guidance.

  78. Thanks Barbara,
    Such a good reminder to be awake! and not mentally go to sleep when we need to stay alert, and listen, and guard our thoughts (standing porter!)
    Good to know that "God never slumbers, and His likeness never sleeps."

  79. Wonderful message, be awake, be alert, expectant, joyful, thanks Barbara!

    Hermoso mensaje, despierta, está alerta, expectante, gosozo, !gracias Barbara!

  80. Thanks! What a good reminder for us all. What if everyone brought such an awaked consciousness to every church service and member meeting!

  81. Thank you - your message reminded me of Mrs Eddy's comment, "Watch your thoughts, and see whether they lead you to God and into harmony with His true followers." p 213 Miscellany

  82. Thanks, Barbara. I, too, have listened to this Lift several times today. Each time I get new inspiration.

  83. Thank you for that healing message, so powerful.

  84. Thank you so much. I'd been working with "Awake thou that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light." Your Lift was perfect!

  85. Hi everyone,

    Thank you for all your comments, insights and inspiration. The truly wonderful thing about these Daily Lifts is not just that they give us new inspiration and fresh insights each day - but that as we take these ideas with us and apply them they bless our day and our world!

    love to all.

  86. Dear Barbara,.. Sincere gratitude for keeping us alert to expect
    God's wake-up call, and use it, each moment of His glorious day!

  87. Thank-you!

  88. Nice thoughts, even for day's end --I'll just carry them thru to tomorrow!

  89. Wow, Barb, thank you. This is a perfect thought for each day - to live thoughtfully in Spirit, where each day, really each moment, is new. Thank you to all the lecturers for the Daily Lifts, This is just another reminder from our Mother Church that God is with us every day, mothering us, supplying our needs, keeping us strong, and bringing His goodness to light for us. Being awake / aware of God's presence is what living is all about.

  90. Barbara, That was great. Isn't that what our spiritual growth is all about: awaking to the Truth of being, the consciousness of true being, whereby false beliefs or unconsciousness vanishes!

  91. Thank you very much, Barbara, really appreciate the thoughts that you've shared, esp. re: being "awake and aware", to see and acknowledge the good and the true, now, in Spirit. Very compelling thoughts, thank you,
    All the best,
    Lisa

  92. Thank you very much. I really like being Awake within God's reach.

  93. Thank you for being alert and awake to help others to be alert, too!

  94. I am definitely bookmarking this page and sharing it with my friends.

    :)
