Flowing Around Obstacles—Aligning With the Law of Harmony

Discover how aligning with God’s law of harmony empowers you to flow through life’s challenges and grow into divine abundance.

Resistance vs. Purpose

Why does resistance fail? It feels strong to push against obstacles, yet it often leaves us weary and stuck. Holliwell observed, “Resistance fails because it is not in accord with harmony and order, which is the Law.”

True harmony comes not from fighting but from flowing. It comes when we stop working against what we don’t want and start working for what we do. As Holliwell taught:

“The Law does not require us to work over or against the things we do NOT want but it does require us to work with and for that which we DO want.”

This principle invites us to stop resisting and start aligning with God’s purpose: to emulate Christ.

Are You Stuck in the Stream?

Are you caught in the daily grind of a 9-to-5 job? Do you feel the pull to write that book, pursue that mission, or share that talent God has given you—but bills and obligations hold you back?

You’re not alone. For years, I felt the same. I started strong but often faltered. Content creation came and went. Dreams of coaching faded into daily demands. I was pushing against limitations, working hard but going nowhere.

But here’s the truth: The stream doesn’t have to stay small. By emulating Christ daily, you can turn the stream into a river—one that flows with power and direction toward the ocean of becoming like Abba.

The Stream: A Lesson in Flow

Picture a mountain stream. Small, winding, and full of life. Along its path, it meets boulders, fallen trees, and debris. But does the stream stop to fight the obstacles? No. It flows around them, seeking the easiest path forward.

Its purpose is clear: to grow into a river and then merge with the ocean. It does not waste time fighting what is in its way. It blesses the obstacles by flowing past them, growing stronger and surer with each turn.

This is the law of harmony. The stream grows by flowing with its purpose—not by resisting.

Owning the River Within

For many years, I worked over limitations, trying to fight my way forward. But in 2023, through Christ’s grace, I was healed. My mind was sound, my body renewed, and my purpose clear. I stopped fighting and started flowing.

I now see emulating Christ as the river of life. By aligning my daily habits with His teachings, I have stepped into the flow of being perfected in Him. Each post I write points others to this river, inviting them to join the journey.

But the river is not the end—it is the path to the ocean. The ocean represents becoming like Abba and receiving all that He has. This is the fullness of joy and glory.

Resistance Fails, Harmony Flows

Holliwell’s words ring true: resistance fails because it fights the natural flow of God’s law. When we resist, we stay stuck. When we align with harmony, we move forward.

Non-resistance is not weakness. It is faith in God’s design. It is the courage to bless the obstacles and focus on what truly matters: becoming one with Christ.

By trusting the flow of the river, we are led to the ocean of divine abundance.

Step Into the River

What is your river gift? A talent, a dream, or a mission? What would it look like to stop resisting and start flowing?

Take one step today. Emulate Christ by establishing a daily habit that aligns with your purpose. Let the stream of effort flow into the river of Christlike living. As you do, you will tap into the power of God to carry you toward the ocean of becoming like Him.

Pray for clarity. Ask, “Lord, what would You have me do?” Then act with faith, trusting His guidance.

The Power of Alignment

When you emulate Christ, your strength increases. The obstacles become stepping stones. Your purpose becomes clear.

The river of life carries you forward, flowing with power and direction. It leads to joy, abundance, and Zion. Trust the flow. Align with His law, and He will guide you to the ocean of becoming like Abba.

Closing Thoughts

Fighting keeps us bound. Flowing sets us free. The stream teaches us that power lies not in resistance but in harmony.

May we bless the obstacles, embrace the river of Christ, and flow toward the ocean of becoming like Abba.
