Cleansing Power

I NOW RECEIVE THE CLEANSING POWER OF DIVINE LOVE, AND I AM RENEWED AND REFRESHED.

If we spill a glass of milk, we may be disturbed for a few moments. We may blame ourselves for being so clumsy, or we may even try to blame another for causing us to have the accident. But most of the time we mop it up and it is soon forgotten. We would become concerned if we saw someone actually “crying over spilled milk,” wouldn’t we? If one continued the self-blame and wailed endlessly about this misfortune, pointing to the spot even after it had long been cleaned up, we would soon become impatient, to say the least.

Yet we permit ourselves to act in much the same manner at times. We may keep looking at the failure of some project and inwardly cry bitterly for years or even for a lifetime. We may continue pointing at the spot of the spill—which could be a place of unhappiness for us in the past. At times we blame others for our accidents—for our spills and misfortunes. Let us realize how ridiculous this is also! The power of prayer can wipe away the condition and cleanse the memory of it from our minds forever.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:8)

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.
