What is not of God, has no power to do anything

“What is not of God, has no power to do anything.”

This is Dan SF’s signature. What does that mean?

Thanks!

Hi,

the quote is from the book "A Course in Miracles".

It is used to remind the student/follower of the course that nothing, what is not God-made, can have any lasting effect.

If God is love, and love only, then everything else, like hate or fear can not have any real effect.

It means that, from the God's perspective, only love can prevail.

But to understand the meaning of it, reading the book and doing the exercises is needed.

- A little info about the course: It is a channeled book, the source claims to be Jesus Christ.

This means that if I don’t give power to an evil spirit, he cannot do anything. God, on the other hand, is there whether or not we give him power.

That’s right?

Thanks!

Hi,
I do not know about "evil spirit".

In my opinion there is only Spirit and it has different expressions.

Spoiler alert:
From one of Carlos Castaneda books, Don Juan describes running away, in fear, from an ally.
Then he tells that, after he stopped being afraid, the ally stopped chasing him as well.
He explains that the ally feeds on the power of "Animal Fear", which is what fear basically is.

This would be my explanation to "he can not do anything":
You could be initially afraid of that spirit and that spirit-essence would be attracted to the fear energy which you are giving out freely,
and when you notice it is chasing you would become afraid more ...


For the God part:

It is rather that we deny his power somehow.
For e.g if God is thought to be Love, then hating would be denying.

Useful thoughts:
Be still and know that i am God.
Peace that passes all understanding.

Thanks Dan. It works! I say to the evil spirit, “if I don’t give you power, you cannot do anything”, and he is intimidated. And I started to forget about him.
