As we come to the commencement of this journey and I reflect back over the last six months specifically and my life generally, I now understand so much more than I did at the start of the Master Key Experience (MKE) last year.

I’ve had the spirit of God dwelling in me since I was a pre-teen, but never grasped the awesomeness of the qualities that it brought.

I’ve studied omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience as attributes of God, but never came to the awareness that because God dwells in me and has those qualities, I now have those qualities accessible for me to use.

Instead I allowed my judgmental father, opinionated husband, and unwarranted criticisms from other people — even strangers — to pile more and more layers of cement until my vibrant, enthusiastic, do-anything thoughts and beliefs were covered with untruths like “You can’t do anything,” “You don’t know anything,” “Nobody wants you here,” and “Why do you even try?”

I have been so blessed to find my tribe that helped me start clearing off so many layers that I can see the gold shining through. With step-by-step directions and my compass to help me navigate the maze out of my mental quagmire, I am seeing daylight on the other side.

In the Old Testament, God’s attributes were often shared in various “I AM” statements. God told Moses, “I AM that I AM.” To the Israelites in the wilderness, He was the “I AM that provides,” “I AM that heals,” and so forth.

Now I know that I AM means me!

“All things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23)

“For with God, nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)

“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

“With men” or “with God”?
I choose “with God.”
