 ©Twilight in Montauk ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014 { Click pic to enlarge ! } The Gift of KNOWLEDGE enables the soul to evaluate created things at their true worth ~ in their relation to GOD. KNOWLEDGE unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness, and points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of GOD. It shows us the loving care of GOD even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in EVERY circumstance of life. Guided by its light, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of GOD beyond ALL else. Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesses it. PRAYER:
COME, OH BLESSED SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE, AND GRANT THAT I MAY PERCEIVE THE WILL OF THE FATHER; SHOW ME THE NOTHINGNESS OF EARTHLY THINGS, THAT I MAY REALIZE THEIR VANITY AND USE THEM ONLY FOR THY GLORY AND MY OWN SALVATION, LOOKING EVER BEYOND THEM TO THEE AND THY ETERNAL REWARDS. AMEN.

It enables us to penetrate the inner meaning of revealed truths and through those truths we are brought to a newness of life. Our faith stops being inactive and sterile, but inspires a new way of living that bears eloquent testimony to the faith that is in us; we begin to walk worthy of GOD in ALL things pleasing and we increase in the knowledge of GOD. PSALM 119:169 "LET MY CRY COME BEFORE YOU, OH LORD; GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD." PRAYER: COME, OH SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING AND ENLIGHTEN OUR MINDS THAT WE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ALL THE MYSTERIES OF SALVATION; AND MAY MERIT AT LAST TO SEE THE ETERNAL LIGHT IN THY LIGHT; AND IN THE LIGHT OF GLORY TO HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF THEE AND THE FATHER AND SON.

This exact spot is claimed to be a Spiritual Vortex. Montauk Indian Tribal Councils included twelve other local American Indian Tribes and were held at this location. As they gathered to discuss current events, the surrounding base of the rock would spontaneously erupt in flames which was seen as a beacon of light from vessels at sea. Many Supernatural events have been recorded at this place. The ghosts of Indians have been seen by many and the sounds of beating drums often reported. A band of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders died of Tuberculosis here and have also been seen wandering the grounds in Spirit. CLICK ON THIS LINK TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON !  The second of the SEVEN Spiritual Gifts, The GIFT of COUNSEL endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what MUST BE done, especially in difficult circumstances. COUNSEL IS SUPERNATURAL COMMON SENSE, a priceless treasure. PRAYER: COME, OH SPIRIT OF COUNSEL, HELP AND GUIDE ME IN ALL MY WAYS THAT I MAY ALWAYS DO YOUR HOLY WILL. INCLINE MY HEART TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD; TURN IT AWAY FROM ALL THAT IS EVIL, AND DIRECT ME BY THE STRAIGHT PATH OF THY COMMANDMENTS TO THAT GOAL OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR WHICH I LONG. AMEN.

The only smart choice is to plod forth into the foggy unknown, hoping to detect and navigate around surprise obstacles in our way. We require LIGHT and STRENGTH and LOVE to see our way through... and having access to the SEVEN GIFTS would make our lives even easier ! The Lord Jesus Christ instructed his Apostles to pray a particular prayer as they waited in Jerusalem,{ enmeshed in their own fear filled fog }, for the coming of The Holy Ghost, { which is known as "The First Pentecost }", who endows these SEVEN GIFTS.  ©Montauk Beach Fog n Foam~Undine DeFilippo 2014 1. THE GIFT OF WISDOM WISDOM embodies ALL the other gifts and is the most perfect of ALL gifts. There is a quote about WISDOM: "all good things come to me with her and innumerable riches through her hands." The gift of Wisdom strengthens our Faith, fortifies Hope, perfects Charity, and promotes the practice of virtue in the highest degree. Wisdom enlightens the mind to discern and relish things divine... in the appreciation of which, earthly joys lose their savor, while the Cross of Christ yields a divine sweetness; according to the words of the Saviour, "Take up your cross and follow me, for my yoke is sweet and my burden light." PRAYER: Come, Oh Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their exceeding greatness, power and beauty. Teach me to love them above and beyond all the passing joys and satisfactions of earth. Help me to attain them and possess them forever. Amen. This information comes from the

HOLOCAUST REMEMBERANCE DAY It's fitting that the only blooming spring flower in my garden this year is this six petalled golden perennial tulip with bright red stripes. To me, this particular tulip represents the STAR of DAVID The red stripes represent the blood that was spilled and the bloodline that carries on, despite atrocities and hardships. It reminds me of my own heritage and THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; how He spilled out His very last drop on Good Friday. When He resurrected and showed Himself to the remaining frightened and hiding Disciples, He instructed them to pray for NINE DAYS with the promise to send THE HOLY GHOST who would enlighten them with SEVEN GIFTS. That prayer is a powerful plea for the LIGHT and STRENGTH and LOVE needed by every person. If you'd like to know what that prayer is and what the SEVEN GIFTS are please visit this website next week. Your comments are always welcome.  © Montauk Sunset ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014 ""
PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: NOT AS THE WORLD GIVETH, GIVE I UNTO YOU. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID. John 14:27 "Without a deep inner state of quietness, one becomes prey to tension, worry and ill health. A song... a sunset... moonlight... the sea washing on a sandy shore, these administer a healing balm. But they lack power to penetrate the inner recesses of the soul. A profound depth therapy is required to attain healing quietness. An habitual repetition of this one text will, in time, permeate your personality with a complete sense of PEACE. When tense or restless, sit quietly and allow these words to pass unhindered through your thoughts. Conceive of them as spreading a healing balm throughout your mind." Norman Vincent Peale HAPPY EASTER ! YOUR COMMENTS WELCOME and ALWAYS SECURE !!!  © Flowering Pine ~ Undine DeFilippo "A great many people go through life in bondage to success. They are in mortal dread of failure. Yet success and failure are in the hands of GOD." E. Stanley Jones Suppose we have the calling to a place, person or event ... Suppose we should fail ... Is that so terrible ? NOT to have tried is a WORSE failure. We look at the verdict of others instead of HIS verdict. We do not have to "succeed". We only have to be true to the HIGHEST we know.  © Dilapidated Remains of the Roscoe, NY Hospital - A Paint Job Can't Fix This Mess ! Whether it's a HUGE City, like New York, or a tiny hamlet in New York, or ANYWHERE in the USA, the HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY ACT better known as HIPAA has a PRIVACY ACT that defines policies, procedures and guidelines for maintaining the PRIVACY and SECURITY of individually identifiable health information for the living AS WELL AS THE DECEASED !!! Deceased individuals have the SAME rights as the living for FIFTY YEARS after their demise. But WHAT can be done when that privacy has not only been violated but also slandered in a small town where gossip is as common as SNOW ? If one is living in that tiny town, would it be wise or SAFE to report the violators . . . OR . . . would it be best to remind individuals working as Health Care Providers and Assistants that these violations are EXTREMELY PAINFUL to remaining Family Members but also SERIOUSLY PUNISHABLE by damages up to a cost of $ 250,000.- PLUS YEARS OF JAIL TIME !!! If you would like to understand more about the privacy rights of your deceased loved ones CLICK HERE If you feel you have been violated ~ OR ~ You are the witness to such a violation I encourage you to file a report by CLICKING HERE !!!

The dreary never changing tale of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please by harping on that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, and GOD shall hear your words and make them true. "OPTIMISM" By Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
