4 Let s Pray

5 ...and greater works than these Let s Pray! shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:26

6 My dissertation began two years ago with these questions - Where has the Spiritual Power gone? Why no miracle healings like Jesus? Why no miracle healings like Emma Curtis Hopkins? Why no miracle healings like the early days of Myrtle & Charles Fillmore? What has gone wrong?

7 Jewish Scripture One God Represented as a powerful man Male bias New Testament carries it through with Father

8 Taoist taught the Aspects of the Tao Yin Female Yang - Male Must have the two polarities, the two aspects to experience the power

9 Emma Curtis Hopkins Teacher of the teachers 50,000 between Teacher of Dr. E.B. Weeks 1886 Myrtle Fillmore attended Dr. Week s lecture

10 I am a child of God, and therefore I do not inherit sickness 1888 Myrtle healed of Tuberculosis lived to years young

11 Silent Unity began 1890

12 1891 Charles and Myrtle were ordained in Chicago by Emma Curtis Hopkins

13 Emma Curtis Hopkins "She is undoubtedly the most successful teacher in the world. Her instruction not only give understanding to the student by which he can cure ills of himself and others, but in many instances, those who enter her classes confirmed invalids come out at the end of the course perfectly well. Unity Magazine

14 Emma Curtis Hopkins She dwells so continually in the spirit that her very presence heals, and those who listen to her are filled with new life." Unity Magazine

15 Myrtle said that Emma was her most beloved friend They wrote to each other, right up to Emma s transition in 1925 Myrtle said of ECH, I know of no other writings that mean so much to me as hers do Myrtle Fillmore, Mother of Unity

16 ECH taught there are 3 epochs of spiritual growth Father period Old Testament Son period New Testament We are in the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Holy Mother

17 The Holy Ghost was the Shekinah of the Hebrew Scripture. It was the feminine principle and the sign of the future. She further developed the Holy Spirit as a She in a 17 page writing, The Ministry of the Holy Mother

18 ECH went on to say that Holy Mother was wooed by praises and only answered prayer. She taught that: Holy Mother/Holy Spirit waits on our invite The perfect Lady

19 Let s Pray! But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26

20 Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit is just what the name implies, the whole Spirit of God in action. In the Hebrew Jehovah is written Yahweh, Yah being masculine Weh being feminine. Jesus Christ Heals

21 Holy Spirit Do not be misled by the personality Of the Holy Spirit and the reference to it as he. This was the bias of the Oriental mind, making God and all forms of the Deity masculine. Jesus Christ Heals

22 Holy Spirit Holy Spirit is the love of Jehovah taking care of the human family, and love is always feminine. Love is the great harmonizer and healer, and whoever calls upon God as Holy Spirit for healing is calling upon the Divine Love. Jesus Christ Heals

23 Holy Spirit Do not fear to call mightly upon the Holy Spirit, who has all compassion and Healing Power at Her command. Thy perfect plan of bodily perfection is now made manifest in me. Jesus Christ Heals

24 The gender of the Holy Spirit has been the object of some discussion in recent years, questioning whether the Holy Spirit should be referred to as "he", "she" or "it". To some extent this derives from the gender of the noun used in different languages. In the original Hebrew of the Old Testament, the word for spirit is "rūaḥ is a feminine noun. The word for spirit in New Testament Greek is pneuma, a neuter noun. In Latin, the common language of the Roman Catholic Church, the word for spirit is masculine. Wikipedia

25 Let s Pray! Polarity two contrasting aspects not duality which is belief in two powers

26 The GOD Power already exist Let s Pray! We access the power when we complete the circuit

27 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15 The fruits of the Spirit are: Love, Joy, Peace Galatians 5:22
