Staying with God 24/7

by Rev. Daniel Cratcha, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

When I first discovered ACIM, I remember being fascinated by the idea of staying with God 24/7. I thought it was the most bizarre concept I’d ever heard. Now, it is one of my main mantras and I walk with Joshua joyfully. I have changed more in the past couple of years than I had in the previous 20. I am grateful beyond words.

About two years ago, Spirit directed me to start channeling music and the songs came, songs I could never have written on my own. So I know one of the main parts of my ministry is going to be creation of love through music. My first CD is going to be called “Love Songs to ACIM” and I dream of a web site named the same, a place for bringing the music of otherss inspired by ACIM to a tangible medium. I know Spirit will deliver my music to those who need to hear it.

I also know this is not all God would have me do. I’ve been in the mental health field for many years, much of this time as a mental health therapist.

ACIM has shown me that my counseling methods were often upside down, me as the expert and the patient as limited and weak. I was the expert and had all the answers for my patients. I would diagnose the problem from my ego’s view and then direct the client to view the world in the way I wanted him or her to. As much as I’ve learned from ACIM, I’ve also had to unlearn many distorted ego beliefs about “helping others.” I thought I was really good at what I did. Not so much. Now that I’ve learned to follow Spirit and be guided by Him, I believe I’m ready to help others on a whole new level.

At this point, I believe I would be most helpful in working with terminal illness. I’m not sure how I would do this, but I believe Spirit will guide me to where I would be most helpful. I’m sure there are other areas as well and I again believe Spirit will guide me to serve where He would have me serve. Of this I am sure.
