Joel Goldsmith: If God Were Sitting Next to You Right Now — What Would You Ask For | 1959 Hawaii

✨If the millions who believe they pray were really praying there would be no room left for sin disease death or limitation 🪷 Joel Goldsmith opens a new series with his most complete teaching on prayer — what it is, what it isn't, why petition fails, why God is already closer than breathing, and why the moment you turn toward the Father's house the Father is already running to meet you. ✨ In this session you'll discover: • Something is wrong with prayer that produces no results — the only result worth seeking — is the presence of God itself — everything else is included in that • Dr. Carell's prayer that sets miracles in motion — disinterested — self-denying — man offers himself like canvas before the painter — this is the prayer of contact • If God were seated right beside you — what else would you ask for — when you have the consciousness of God's presence — you have infinity • Prayer is never aimed at bringing God to you — God is already closer than breathing — in hell God is there — in Gethsemane God was there • The voice in Holland said go home and be quiet — a higher consciousness must evolve — a further message is coming — and it can only be received in stillness • Very few find their own problems solved early — it is when you begin praying for others —that your own problems dissolve — • Jesus never once prayed for himself — Paul before illumination had only himself — after illumination seven churches called on him for funds — more problems — bigger problems — but joyous ones • The place whereon thou standest is holy ground — God responds to open eyes as well as closed — on your knees or on your feet — no special place no special posture • Only in prayer do you lose all sense of separateness — your interest and my interest become one — it cannot come through intellect — only through inner communion • Three to five minutes three or four times daily — soon they prolong themselves without effort — eventually twenty thirty turnings a day — this is to pray without ceasing The Father is already running toward you. The only question is whether you have turned. 🔥🌿 ⌛ STRATEGIC STUDY TIMESTAMPS 🥾The Core Journey [00:00:04] - Sacred Stillness: Meditation provides blessings.
