Whatever You Are Told ‒ The Wisdom Of Omraam Mikheal Aivanhov
*"Whatever you are told, whatever the latest philosophies would have you believe, never sever your ties with God. On the contrary, seek Him, think about Him, love Him, and call on Him; in this way you will receive invisible but extraordinarily powerful energies that will prevent the forces of darkness from disturbing or harming you. You may still be mistreated a little from time to time because you have not yet strengthened your ties with the Lord sufficiently, but once this is done, evil will no longer be able to touch you. Christians recite or sing, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’, bu... more »
