Communion, The Lord's Supper
Holy Bible, King James Version, Matthew 26:26-29
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave thanks to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my fatherÕs kingdom.
Psychic Gospel
As they were eating (Symbolizing Communication), Jesus (Divine Messenger) took bread (Spiritual Nourishment) and energized it and gave it to His students and said, ÒTake this and eat. It represents My body (Temple For The Father Of Lights). He took the cup (Spiritual Truth) and gave thanks and gave it to them saying, ÒDrink (Be Instructed in Spiritual Matters). This is My blood (Symbolizing the Mind of Christ) which is given to heal all misperceptions that say you are separate from Me. But I say to you the next time I pour my consciousness through you is when you realize there is no life but the FatherÕs life being lived through your body.

When I calmed my mind and entered my heart, the Love of the Lord leapt like a flame within me. All my old ideas and beliefs just blew away like chaff in the wind.
Psychic Reading
Communion is the recognition that there is only One Life being lived (the Father of LightÕs). When He pours ChristÕs consciousness through the body (Temple for the Father of Lights), He is the one who partakes in the sacrament of communion.
Personal Realization
When I am trying to make things happen in my life and things donÕt seem to be flowing, it is because I need to reconnect to the fact that there is only One Life. Once I have refocused my attention on this truth, I get to experience heaven on earth.
Hello from the Bishop
Rev. Debi Livingston
Each month I attempt to explain what sets SRF apart from other churches in the world. To me the answer is obvious Ð Rev. Bill has ensured that the Spirit has been put back into this church. And, if you recognize that your physical body is the true church of the Living God, you can see how you, spirit, will be guided or serviced, back into your body, where you can commune with the God of your heart in a way that is personal for you. Some people talk the talk, but donÕt walk the walk of what they are teaching. Not so with Rev. Bill, Pastor of SRF. His life is the example of what he teaches and shares with each person who enters through these doors. In the eighteen years I have known him, he has been a constant reminder of one who is convicted and focused in both heart and mind. I can honestly say I have never met anyone who has been so truthful with myself, and others, no matter what. The proof of the integrity of Rev. Bill and SRF is in the fruits of his endeavors. Look around you. Everything you see here has been birthed from his mind, with the sole intent of helping people learn how to help themselves in a whole new way. The classes, tape library, newspaper, radio programs; everything has been put together for the people. Today we also celebrate the ordination of Mort Litwack. He will be the first individual to be ordained in SRF as a Rabbi, which validates and brings to life the words in our Divine Creed which says: ÒSpiritual freedom creates no ideologies, no isms, no dissenting philosophies, no moralistic interpretations which divide, corrupt and destroy communication between human souls. No governments are upturned, no faiths cut down by the sword, nor sects or types eliminated. Only a personal revelation between the cosmos and a living soul, which flames quietly, bringing a lifetime of contentment and a realization that nothing in this world is worth exchanging for that attainment.
Congratulations, soon to be Rabbi Mort! Enjoy the glow!
Canlde Lighting Ceremony, "Turning Within"
This candle is being dedicated this day, February 20, 2000. It represents the Light of the Christ. May it represent your own inner light that guides and directs you on your own inner path. So let your light shine forth!
Holy Bible, King James Version: Luke 8:16-18 ~Parable of the lighted lamp~
No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed, but setteth it on a lamp stand, that they who enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hidden, that shall not be known and come to the light. Take heed, therefore, how ye hear; for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
Psychic Gospel
No man when he has lighted a lamp (Acknowledges The Truth Which Shines From The Father of Lights), covers it with a vessel (Rational Mind), or puts it under a bed, but lets this light shine on anyone that passes by. He can no longer keep secret lies and misperceptions. He knows he must be truthful with people from now on. Take heed how you use the truth; use it to help someone be more of themselves and you will be more of yourself. If you donÕt use the truth while helping someone you become less of yourself.
Inspired Source: Albert Schweitzer
The one essential thing is that we strive to have light in ourselves. Our striving will be recognized by others. When people have light in themselves, it will shine out of them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each otherÕs faces, or to intrude into each otherÕs hearts.
Psychic Reading
People have a natural respect for light, they appreciate its presence and they have no substitute for it. When someone tells us the truth it is best not to alter it, but merely hear it as it was stated.
Personal Realization
I must be careful to shed light on dark thoughts so they donÕt take over.
The Gospel--A Reading from the Gospel According to Mark
Holy Bible, King James Version: Mark 2 : 1-12
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was reported that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door; and he preached the word unto them. And they came unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was borne by four. And when they could not come near unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was; and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed in which the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Which is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Psychic Gospel
After some time He again entered the compassionate city. And when people heard that He was at one of the houses so many gathered there that there was not enough room to hold them all. And He instructed them in the truth. Then four men came there carrying a man who was paralyzed in his body because his thinking had become rigid. And when they could not get near Jesus because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof and let the bed upon which the man lay down through it (Representing that this charitable act helped the man get into his body). When Jesus saw their faith He said to the paralyzed man, ÒSon, your misperceptions are forgiven you. Now some of the scribes (Religious Intellectuals) were questioning this, thinking, ÒWhy does this man speak irreverently, for who can forgive misperceptions except the Supreme Being? Jesus immediately knew psychicly what they were thinking, and said, ÒWhy do you question these things? Does it really matter whether I say to this man, Your perceptions are forgiven you,Õ or Raise your consciousness to match Mine, and picture and feel yourself as whole?Õ Here I will demonstrate to you that the Divine Human has power on earth to forgive misperceptions - and He said to the paralyzed man, ÒRaise your consciousness to match Mine, picture and feel yourself as whole and own that body. And immediately the man got into his body, stood up, picked up the bed heÕd been lying on and walked out in the presence of them all, so that they were all amazed and said, ÒWe have never seen anything like this.

Know that the very nature of My life is to love and bless, to grow and unfold, to heal and make perfect. It will do this naturally and always if not interfered with by manÕs wrong or ignorant thoughts - his not knowing the mighty power he is wielding by forming thought pictures in his mind.
Psychic Reading
When Jesus saw that the scribes were as paralyzed (rigid) in their thinking as the crippled man He sought to demonstrate a lesson. He showed them that faith is an experience of the heart, rather than an intellectual endeavor as they were trying to make it, and that when our heart is charitable and hopeful we free ourselves to adopt the thinking of Christ, which heals all.
Personal Realization
It is what is in my heart that matters most. And when my heart is open I am more open mentally to accepting the positive into my life and rejecting the negative.
The Lord's Tithe, 10%-30%
Literal Scripture -Malachi 3:10
To learn more about tithing, click here.
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in mine house, And test me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Psychic Gospel
Be responsible for your life, limb and property by following this spiritual law. Bring one-tenth (Number of Human Responsibility) of all that I give you into the place of worship (Psychic Space), that meat (Life-force Energy) may be in My house (Temple of the Living God) which is your body. Now take this inspiration, form it into mental image pictures and test (Energize) it, says the Father of Lights. Watch the results as I open the windows of heaven (Spiritual Chakras) and increased awareness floods in that will enrich your life.

Salvation is my only function here.
Psychic Reading
A new born baby stays awake for short periods of time and then goes back to sleep. True tithing done by the Father of Lights is the antidote to spiritual amnesia. Through the process of tithing Christ consciousness wakes up for a time, only to fall back to sleep, to be reawakened until it catches on like a wildfire that He is the only life and it has all grand things to offer.
Personal Realization
I was looking around at people one day and it hit me that we are all windows to heaven either opened or closed to the LordÕs truth and vibration. This realization is a blessing for me.
The Disciple's Prayer, The Student's Prayer
Holy Bible, King James Version: Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Psychic Gospel
Our Father, Source of life radiating like the sun, Your are the light of wholeness and wisdom. No matter what the outward appearance, there is only Your life being lived. Give us the awareness daily to stay focused on this truth. Forgive us when we project negative thoughts onto another because we have lost sight of Your perfection with them, as we learn to forgive others when they do the same to us. Lead us away from the temptation to think in the negative, so we may have peace with Your mind. For all wellness comes from Your power and Your mind. And so it is.
Inspired Source - The Upanishads
What is within us is also without. What is without is also within. He who sees difference between what is within and what is without goes evermore from death to death.
Psychic Reading
Saying this prayer is like getting off a busy sidewalk and stepping back to get our bearings. When we get too scattered in our thinking, this prayer flips our mind around so we can see the only priority is to stay focused on the Father of Lights, Feeder of our awareness.
Personal Realization
I see how everything we do at SRF is about straightening out our priorities. This prayer reminds me when IÕve let my imagination run away again in the negative, and it helps to center me once again.
Good Will Offering
Holy Bible, King James Version, Mark 12: 41-44 The Widow's Mites
And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury; and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which makes a farthing. And he called unto his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow hath cast more in than all they who have cast into the treasury; for all they did cast in of their abundance, but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Psychic Reading
Jesus sat watching people as they put their money into the donation box and He noticed that the ones who were wealthy gave large amounts. Then a widow, who obviously had very little money, tossed in two coins, basically all that she had. Jesus gathered His students around Him and said, ÒTruthfully I am telling you, this woman has given more than any of the other patrons put together. The others gave from their excess to remain in good standing with the ministry. She gave in obedience without thinking of her personalityÕs wants or needs. The Father of Lights was radiant in that obedient body.
Inspired Source: Annalee Skarin
Remember always that it is far greater to share your little, give something you could use or even need, than it is to give something that you do not require for your own comfort and well being.
Psychic Reading
When our energy channels are clear of foreign influences we can be the obedient vehicle for the Father of Lights to use to spread His good will on earth.
Personal Realization
I am still learning to be a giver, and when I give I know that it is the Father alive and well and living in this body called Sherry.
Testimonies from the Heart, the Trance Experience
Rev. Kathy Bibeau
I had a really eye opening experience in trance the other day. I had stepped on a nail a few days earlier and had gotten a tetanus shot. My body was really uncomfortable, and although my foot was healing my arm hurt a lot where I had received the shot. I mentioned this to Rev. Bill when he asked me how I was doing. He proceeded to facilitate a trance state for me and I was guided back to correct the thinking which had resulted in the pain in the first place. In trance I recalled when I had gone to the hospital and the nurse had asked me which arm I wanted to get the shot in. I had asked her, Will it hurt? She had responded, ÒYes. In trance I saw how at that very moment an agreement was created for me to experience pain that went right into my subconscious mind. I must admit I was highly amused when I realized how I had done it to myself. However, when I realized how I had created the pain in the first place I was able to erase that thinking, and as a consequence the pain in my arm went away.
Joy Butler
The day before the last church service I was experiencing a bit of the flu, and was afraid I wouldnÕt be able to sing in choir the next day. Rev. Debi asked me if I was going to be on the radio show that evening and I told her Òno because I needed to save my voice. She proceeded to put me in trance for about 3 minutes, and gave me the suggestion that whatever was ailing my voice was now being healed. Immediately my voice was amazingly more clear. I talked for hours on the radio that evening and I sang a solo part at church the next day, which was a big breakthrough for me.
Wendy Jones
Rev. Bill held a ÒTrance and Self Healing class where we released a lot of energy and looked at why we have allowed our bodies to become sick. The class was phenomenal. We learned a trigger phrase to use to heal ourselves at any time and I had an opportunity to use this phrase shortly afterward. I was sitting at my desk at work when an excruciating pain was felt in my index finger that immediately crippled my typing efforts. I thought of the trigger phrase we learned in class and said it within myself. The pain immediately dulled to a mild ache. I followed that up with a rose and flushed gold energy through it and the pain disappeared. Thank you Rev. Bill!
Bill Shearer
When I started taking classes at SRF I had been having nearly constant pain in my new hip joint for over two years. Rev. Debi helped me realize that if I could support the thinking that said I had to experience pain, I could also support the thinking that says I am pain free. I learned a technique I could practice to heal the pain. Since then, my hip hasnÕt hurt in over six weeks, except two times when I have worked it really hard.
Dan Boushey
In the past I have had allergies, bronchitis and sinus trouble often. The symptoms were occurring again recently. After Rev. BillÕs ÒSelf-Healing Class, I used the technique taught in the class. For the very first time I did not have to miss work, nor be medicated for these problems as I was healing myself now. I could feel the effects of the class were allowing me to do this and IÕm very grateful to Rev. Bill for providing us the opportunity to learn this.
Rev. Ann Savino
I have been incorporating trance much more into my daily life and I see how it helps me to release the stress of the day, get more things done and renew my attitude. Not only is trance great for working on specific issues but it is becoming a habit for me to use this tool to disconnect from going down the road of negative thinking that happens as a result of stress, so that I am not straying so far off of my own course.
