Letting Holy Spirit Heal Our Fear Thoughts

by Revs. Mary & Robert Stoelting

The path to peace of mind is to notice our barriers to Love — our fear thoughts — and take these thoughts to the Holy Spirit to be undone. We cannot do this on our own because on our own, we know nothing. On our own, we place our belief in being different from the Love we are. In this world of separate bodies, we believe in time and space, the birth and death of our “unique” bodies.

We also believe we are weak and vulnerable, in a world that is in constant conflict from “outside forces” that have nothing to do with the thoughts that constantly roll through our minds.

In truth, the world we see is in direct correlation to the thoughts we are believing in.

The way out of this ongoing experience of problem after problem, brought on by the constant chatter of our fear thoughts, is to consistently ask our true Self, the Holy Spirit, to heal our minds of all thoughts that are not true.

A Course in Miracles tells us, “It is but your thoughts that bring you fear …For once you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You cannot then believe that fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy mind He never left.” (W-pI.196.7:3-8:3-5)

We recently had an experience where we needed to practice letting Holy Spirit heal our fear thoughts:

Google has been demoting websites to lower positions in search rankings when the website is not mobile friendly for smart phones and tablets. This limits awareness of the Pathways of Light website and all it has to offer. We learned that the cost for updating our extensive website would be $20,000. Because Pathways keeps its prices very low, there is no reserve to cover this large expense.

Together we returned to a place of quiet and inner peace and handed this perceived problem over to the Holy Spirit, remembering that we do not know how to solve it on our own. 

Shortly after this, we received a phone call from someone who has been a Pathways friend for many years. This person asked how things were going. We shared our situation regarding the website. They suggested that we have a fundraiser and they would support it by matching every donation with an equal donation. Wow! We never would have thought or asked for this on our own. Holy Spirit has a way of working through others to help us get past our limited beliefs.

We have great gratitude for all the loving support we received during this time. We have now reached 50% of our needed amount. If you would like to participate in helping Pathways of Light be available to help people around the world heal their minds, donate online or go to www.gofundme.com/f/update-our-website-for-mobile-devices/donate.
