Our Inner World

I am strong in the Lord. No outer condition can disturb my inner calm.

Our world is brought forth by our thoughts. As we hold thoughts of peace and harmony, our world will become peaceful and harmonious. We cannot blame others for the circumstances of our lives, for no one else in the world can think our thoughts for us. As we hold to thoughts and feelings of health and wholeness, our mental and physical being will manifest wholeness. As we feel ourselves capable and confident within, so shall we be on the outer.

Sometimes we feel that others cause our problems and get us down. People can irritate us only as much as we allow them to do so. We can protect ourselves from all outer attacks of negative words and thoughts by surrounding ourselves with the light of God. By keeping our mind on only the good and the beautiful, no other person can shake us up in any area. Our true strength is an inner strength, because God dwells within us, and God-power can overcome any error condition in the outer.

That God would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inner being. (Ephesians 3:16)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
