The Flame of Victory

by Lorraine Michaels

There once was a flicker of a flame that grew into a mighty flame on earth. It was the Flame of Victory. But a long time ago people of the earth let that flame go. They no longer accepted that flame within their being. And the dark ages came and it seemed as if there was no light in the earth for a time. Century after century went by before the hearts of the people had an opportunity once again to harness that flame of Victory and make that flame once again Victory! Victory! Victory! in Being I AM within them.

What is the Flame of Victory, you might ask. Well it is the flame that knows no defeat. It is the power to keep on against all obstacles to obtain a goal. It is that flame which can never be put out by any forces outside of God Being.

So how do you attain that Victory Flame? And why do you need it? That is my discussion here. Unless we understand victory and what it truly means, we might not ever acquire it.

The first time I was tangibly aware of how to attain oneness with the Flame of Victory happened as I defended my daughter’s rights. The Master Victory was with me during the days and weeks that I worked hard to not accept defeat. So I share with you this example to give you some understanding what you might do to garner that oneness with this Mighty Flame of Victory.

It started one summer day when I was at work. It was just a normal day for me and I was working at my desk when I felt this extreme sleepiness come over me. I was not bored and I had plenty of sleep the night before, yet I could not shake this weight upon my eyes and being. So I decided to take a walk outside in the fresh air to revive me. But it did not help. So I went in my car and rested against my seat and dozed off.

It must have been fifteen minutes later I pulled myself together and went back inside to my desk. My boss immediately asked me where I had been. She was looking for me because my daughter had called. She had been in a car accident and was needing help. I immediately went to the scene of the accident, but my daughter and family were no where to be found and they were just towing her car away. So I rushed over to the hospital where I was told they went.

I found my daughter in the emergency room being stitched up on her leg. She had a bruise on her neck, but the children and her husband were fine. No one else was hurt but her. It seems my daughter was driving the car and they were sitting at a stoplight when some woman in a van plowed into the back of her at 50 mph. It threw my daughter forward and she somehow hit her neck on the steering wheel and threw her leg up hitting something else.

She could get out of the car, but her husband’s door could not be opened. The babies were strapped into the back child seats and were screaming from fear. Her husband wanted to be put on a stretcher in case he had back injuries and so my daughter tried to take care of the babies while the paramedics arrived. They worked on getting her husband out of the car and she was busy tending everything. She was not allowed to take the babies out of the car until the paramedics came and checked them out. When she got to the hospital they were so surprised that she was hurt as all her attention went on helping everyone else.

What I realized had happened was that my energy was needed to help her, and so my God Self gave me the sleepiness so that I could focus my energy in the physical to be one with her. Although I was not physically with her, because of our closeness I went to her at the spiritual level to give her support. And when I walked into the hospital, there were the paramedics so surprised at what she did under her condition and not a word to them while at the scene of the accident.

So we come to discover that her car was totaled, which means the repairs would cost far more than the car was worth. Since she did not cause the accident I saw this would not be a problem as the insurance would pay her the value of the car and she could get another. We had sold her the car when my husband and I bought a new one, but she had not had it for long. So we called the accident into the insurance company and waited for their reply about the other driver. It took many days to straighten out the mess that followed, as the driver did not have car insurance. But the policeman did not ticket her for not showing proof of insurance. We could not figure out why this happened, as we needed proof that she was uninsured. But then we discovered a problem with my daughter’s policy. We discovered that when the car was transferred over to her from our policy, we had set her up on a separate policy and they did not transfer the no-fault insurance part onto her‘s.

This was in the State of Utah, and you can easily let your insurance expire once you have purchased a vehicle. So the law makes it voluntary to carry extra insurance for those drivers might who meet up with those who let their insurance expire. With the other driver not insured, the only way the car would be covered by our insurance was to kick this extra policy in. But it was not on her insurance! In the weeks that followed we discovered that up to 50 percent of Utah drivers are uninsured and this extra insurance was very needed.

But that still left the problem of no coverage for her and thus no money for the replacement of her car. I called the Utah State Insurance office to research how this insurance worked. I called every office I could to rectify this situation so we could straighten the problem out. I soon discovered that sometimes I would get our agent and sometimes I would get another office as they routed the calls and thus a different response. So I kept trying. I spent many phone calls and several tries to get them to honor the original policy we had and to allow that they made the mistake—not us.

Well, eventually on one of my calls into the agents I was told that she did have the extra insurance on her policy now and there was a few months extra payment due to cover the policy. That was a grace and we were grateful for that victory. Somehow, one of the officers in the agency had added the needed policy on.

But then we discovered that they only valued the car at some ridiculous low amount, and not enough to buy a decent replacement car. We knew this was a good car because we had owned it for many years. So this was a great disappointment. So I worked with the agency to find out what we could do about that. But they would not relent, they would only give her this small amount.

But I would keep calling and trying to see what could be done. Because the babies were passengers in car seats, the car seats under the insurance law – once they have been in an accident – are not to be used again. The seats were really fine, but the insurance company had to reimburse you full price for those seats. So she received one check for the car and later another check for the car seats. And then weeks later she received another check for almost a thousand dollars. We could never figure out what the extra money was sent for, but eventually the total worked out to be about $3,500, enough to buy a car!

The point in sharing this incident was that I never gave up. Again and again I would hear that there is nothing you can do to change the policy or the amount or whatever obstacle was thrown in our way. Again and again I would try to rectify the problem, determined that there must be some way to overcome the obstacle for repayment for this lost vehicle.

At the beginning of this ordeal I received through the Holy Spirit that this accident was good karma for my daughter. I could never understand how any accident could be good karma. But it was not that accident itself, but that the outcome of the accident would be a return of good karma. We sold the car to her for $1,000 and she ended up getting three times the money for her loss. Therefore she could step up to a better car if she liked. But I had to fight for that right.

I remember exclaiming to my daughter in amazement one day how I called an agent and discovered something had been changed on the policy—as if by mistake. I never said anything to them hoping they wouldn’t discover the change in her favor. But at times I felt like there was some unseen hand that was causing the agents to make mistakes on their part that benefited us or move them to do something that they would not normally do. It happened several times that I felt the whole outcome became one of a miracle.

The whole time I worked with this issue, I would have Mighty Victory by my side. I don’t remember what I received from him, but he would identify himself and then give me words of wisdom, encouraging me. I didn’t put two and two together at the time or even immediately afterward. It wasn’t until years later that I realized, in hindsight, that a master will come work with you over a period of time to impart some aspect of their God Flame.

And so it was that Mighty Victory imparted to me that Flame of Victory over those weeks of my struggling with the bureaucracy. Anyone who has been up against bureaucracy knows that it takes perseverance to win any victory with governmental and licensed agencies. The red tape is often overwhelming and the obstacles are always in front of you with everything leaning to their side as being in the right.

What I learned about the Victory Flame was:

Never give up. Even against insurmountable odds because there is a higher spirit that can even change what was said that can never be changed. I saw employees make mistakes that according to others was not going to happen. And then they did.
Never give up. At the moment you hear it is impossible or you can’t do that, cast that voice of doom and gloom out of your head. There is no such word as “can’t do” in the Victory Flame language.
Never give up. At the moment you feel like you can’t take anymore, that this is impossible, you are out of strength and endurance, keep on. That is often the moment you are about to break through to the victory.
Never give up. When you see something that is impossible, do not entertain the impossibility in your mind or vision. Instead, focus on what you want to happen and it will if you are inspired to pursue something against all odds.
Never give up. Even if the laws of time and space seem that something is impossible, always know that with God nothing is impossible and everything is possible.

Victory is not something that will be handed to you on a plate. You need to work for it and you will need to work to maintain it. It is a state of mind and consciousness where you determine in yourself that you will not succumb to the difficulties or obstacles you face. And therefore you will need to be the one to maintain that state of consciousness. No one can do it for you. Yes, they can fight your battles for you and they can even triumph for you, but you will not feel victorious. The feeling of victory is a wondrous feeling that is as a state of peaceful bliss. It is that bubbling joy that wells up in you when you have triumphed over some difficulty and know that you have won a victory.

Sometimes those victories are small and sometimes they are big, where the consequences not only affect you, but they have major effects upon the world around you. And then you will know how important those small victories were that you won. You have won the small victories as practice for the bigger ones that might come your way.

Begin practicing wherever you are at in your will and determination and your ability to not succumb to the words “never, you can’t or impossible.” Try to do something that you believe is impossible or someone has been telling you it is impossible—but there is a small part of yourself that is sending you another message that it really is possible. And when you have won that victory and then another, you will be gaining momentum that will lead you to greater and greater victories. And one day you might bring about a major planetary victory because you have been willing to try and not give up.

If you have a personality that is generally positive you already have the attitude to manifest the Victory Flame within you—and you probably already have many times. It is those who have a pessimistic attitude and have been put down so many times in their life that they just don’t have the faith in themselves anymore – and sometimes even in God – that they need to develop the “I can do” attitude. If your attitude is pessimistic, you need to start looking for the positive things in life. Start a momentum on seeing life in an uplifting way. Practice doing things you love, and taking better care of your health and getting the proper rest. All those things will contribute to your being able to look at life with a positive attitude.

And so it is that you can have the Flame of Victory. Because we live in time and space and are subject to the free will and negative forces that work through this plane, we can find ourselves in circumstances that are out of our control. But when you have the Flame of Victory you can take back control. You don’t have to be subject to the mismanagement and flaws of those who are in positions of power when they ought not to be sitting in those seats.

Maybe one day you will need to meet up with circumstances that you seem to not be able to change but you wish you could. And then you will need the indomitable spirit within you of the cosmic Victory Flame.
