Power of Words The words that we speak come from the abundance of our heart. Our spoken words show others the interior of the home of our heart. Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah Our words and deeds are the result of our thoughts. Our words are our spoken thoughts and our deeds are our thoughts in action.

Unknown The House of 1000 Mirrors. Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often." In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again." All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet? Japanese Folktale Creativity is the ability to think in unhabitual ways.

Power of Determination As Children of FatherLove and Ambassadors for Christ/Messiah, we are called to walk in harmony with life at its fullest or highest potential. In order to accomplish this, everyday, moment by moment, we must strive to imitate our Loving Heavenly Father by being kind, tender, forgiving, loving, blessing, doing good and praying for all. We must continually strive to show excellence and be the very best in every way. We must carefully select our thoughts, words and deeds and become impeccable in our way of living and being. Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah We submit to Christ/Messiah Lordship when we obey his word. Rev. Terry Moore, PhD., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah When we fellowship with FatherLove by studying and applying his word our minds are renewed and our strength is refreshed. Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah There are basically four steps to peace in any type of relationship, including world peace. First, a conscious (non-emotional) desire/decision for peace by all involved parties; Second, a clearly defined expected outcome, agreed to by all involved parties; Third, an acknowledgement that all problems have a win - win solution that may require a fair comprise by all involved parties; and Fourth, a respect for each others freedom of choice and opinions, tempered/governed by basic human kindness (i. e., give love, respect, and forgiveness and do no harm to anyone or anything). Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah Should an individual not be able to tolerate another's different opinion regarding any issue, it may help if they understood that simply acknowledging an individuals right to posses an opinion which differs from our own, does not mean that we agree with the differing opinion. It simply means that we are intelligent enough to permit an individual to exercise their God given right to 'Freedom of Choice'. However, if one or both of the different opinions are clearly contrary to basic human kindness (i.e., give love, respect, and forgiveness and do no harm to anyone or anything), then we do have a right to do our best, in a kind exchange of ideas, to attempt to persuade the differing individual(s) to change their opinion(s) for the betterment of humankind. Moreover, we should all remember that in the kind exchange of ideas - 'if an individual's opinion is changed against their will, they are of the same opinion still'. So lets communicate love and kindness at all times. Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah The love, kindness and good you give to others is remembered and cherished far beyond your mortal life. Rev. Terry Moore, Ph.D., Son of FatherGod and Ambassador For Christ/Messiah Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.
