The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 14, Number 11 March 13, 1992
Beloved Friends,
The clue to attaining that which you most desire is your own insistence! The moment you feel a lack of any good quality in your being and world, immediately make your call! Waiting and permitting negativity to take root in your minds and emotions is your first mistake. It opens the door to flood tides of such feelings, and intensifies them across the face of the Earth. Enough is enough! It is you our chelas who must make the calls and do your work. You know you are sustained in even the smallest such effort, and we magnify that effort to a degree that will truly fill the Earth with all that God desires!
Some of the decrees that you use regularly may simply be adapted to your service, such as; 'Fill my world with Violet Fire until it manifests God's Desire!' This decree, repeated with enthusiasm, joy and assurance, will change your environment quickly to the area of light and love from within which you truly desire to function! Fill my world, fill all chelas..., fill the Earth..., fill the family of man with the perfection God desires for them. It shall be made manifest!
Lord Zadkiel has pointed out time after time that if the chelas called forth the qualities of the transmuting Flame as often as they called forth the negativity that has surrounded the Earth for so long, the job would soon be done for the entire planet, and that is the truth! It is a matter of, first remembering! and then, doing! Remember Zadkiel's potent decree; "I AM a Force of Violet Fire stronger than any human condition!" There is no compromise with human frailty within that statement!
An important point that you might keep in mind as you work with decrees is to keep them brief and to the point, especially when you wish to call forth a specific quality. Just as you have been advised to discover your own strongest momentums of service and develop them, so it is with the decrees.
There are times when you desire and need to use a decree as a prayer or invocation, a song of gratitude to a particular Being of Light, and so forth. However, these are different forms of decrees that I will discuss in another letter. I speak now about using the power of decrees to overcome the immediate situation. For instance, if you find yourself overcome by lethargy, tiredness, or fear, it is far more effective to immediately call out to overcome this condition than it is to hunt for your decree book and seek the proper decree needed at that very moment.
Before any student gets the idea that 'John said not to use your decree books', I want to assure you that this is not my intent! Rather, it is my hope that you will quickly come to the understanding that your every word is a decree, especially when it is combined with those powerful creative words, "I AM!" As a result of this understanding, make your every word count for courage, truth, joy, harmony, and unity of service around the entire Earth until it is truly freedom's holy and radiant star!
...and may you each one BE the Radiant Presence of the Christ who lives within your hearts, right here and right now, upon the face of this dear Earth! SO BE IT! BELOVED I AM! Enfolded in my eternal Love and Gratitude, I AM...
John, the Beloved
