~ SPIRITUAL ~

Dear Friends,

I have watched with curiosity how many of you would read into my writings where a parable would be used. I would like to explain in simple terms that my parables are meant for the reader to search out in their own way how the parable would fit into their own lives at a certain moment in time.

I receive many letters that ask for very deep understanding to difficult questions.  Many of you suffer with issues that are heart breaking.  Many of you ask me to speak directly to things that are sacred (not secret) in terms of knowledge that must be learned through much searching and prayer.  Things that can only come from a loving Heavenly father, His spirit, for YOU when you re ready to move forward with YOUR progression. When you are ready to stop old patterns and are open to HEAR a new thought and direction for your life.  Many of life’s questions cannot be experienced until we are just plain ready to move onward without looking back.  These concepts are sacred for the one ready to go for it. They can't be explained by just putting words together, it wouldn't make any sense.  It comes from the spirit when the heart is ready to hear. 

I have learned through my own experience that the concept of a parable can fill the heart of someone needing an answer or explain a mystery that had been weighing heavy on the mind of a troubled soul for some time.  Confusion and trial had seemed to stop any forward motion for this person for some reason. Through a parable, many things will come to the forefront and be looked at
intellectually then processed through the heart for a clear answer to a seemingly complex question, again when the SPIRIT is present.  

Many have questioned me for writing like this; many have knocked me saying I am confusing them.  I will only say this:  Read my parable with an open mind and a heart full of LOVE knowing that MY heart is full of love as well. I have tried to prepare my heart when I write like this to help a friend, to be there for you when I can't physically. When trying to answering a complex question, I try to get YOU to ponder and learn for yourself how GOD would try to answer you if he were standing in front of you. I never place myself in a situation where you think I am any thing other than a servant for my Heavenly father.  I do not have an ego that requires this kind of thinking.  I am only trying to serve my master as I am told to do by way of scripture, and to do what I feel he would do if he were standing next to me as well. 

When you ask me questions that are profound, I take it very personal.  I study it out in my mind, I pray to my Heavenly father for an answer, then I write or speak what comes to me.  There will be times when I feel like saying something knowing that what I would say could be misunderstood.  At times like this, a parable will be used to help me give a simple answer to those with eyes, ears, and a heart to feel what I am trying to say, (by way of the spirit)  There is nothing mysterious to this, it is just another way of communicating that is comfortable for me to use.

If a person is angry or full of contention and is trying to get answers, let me just say this too,
the author of confusion is not of GOD.  A dark force that wishes you to be confused is always present when knowledge to assist the broken heart or a confused mind is in need of help. Confusion will always present darkness.

When the Lord says, you shall know them by their fruits; I hope and pray that those who continually want to associate with me in the future, those who desire to be of light will always know where the tree that produces the fruit will always reside.  I only desire to serve my GOD and those who are in need. This is truly my answer to those who question.

Your Brother,



Merrill
