The Moon Nature in Man

Munich 25th August, 1910

GAIN and again in these lectures we have been able to show how the Genesis account, rightly interpreted, has corroborated the findings of clairvoyant investigation. There remain a number of points still to clear up in this regard. The first thing will be to show with still greater precision the point of time at which the Genesis account falls in terms of spiritual scientific findings as to the evolution of our earth. I have already said that I put the beginning of Genesis at the time when the sun and the earth were about to separate, but we shall have to go more closely into this.

Those of you who have heard some of my earlier lectures, and also those who have studied the description of earth evolution in my Occult Science, will remember what great importance I attached to two significant moments in this evolution. The first was the separation of the sun from the earth. This was a very important event. It had to take place at some time, for had the two cosmic bodies remained united, as in the first stage of earth existence, the course of human evolution could not have given to man his true earthly meaning. All that we include in the word “sun” — thus not only the elementary or physical constituents in the body of the sun, but also the spiritual Beings who belong to it — had to withdraw from the earth, or, if you prefer, had to extrude the earth, because, had those Beings remained united with it, their forces would have worked too strongly for man's welfare. They had to mitigate their forces by removing themselves from the terrestrial scene and working upon it from without. We are therefore concerned with a point of time when a number of Beings transfer the scene of their operations to a distance, so as to moderate their influence on the development of both man and animal. From a certain point of time the earth is left to itself, and, because its finer, more spiritual forces have withdrawn with the sun, undergoes a certain coarsening. But man, such as he has become through the Saturn, Sun and Moon evolutions, still remained for a time with the earth. It was only very exalted Beings who withdrew with the sun and found their scene of activity outside.

After this separation, the earth still had within it all the substances and forces which go to make up the present moon. Man therefore was exposed to conditions which were much grosser than earth conditions proper later became, for the substance of the moon is very crass, as it were. One result was that, after the separation of the sun from the earth, the earth forces became ever more moonlike, ever denser. Another, that man himself was now exposed to the danger of wilting away, of becoming mummified, or at any rate of becoming mummified astrally. While, so long as the sun remained with the earth, conditions had been too fine, they now became too coarse. Consequently, as the development of the earth proceeded, man could thrive less and less by maintaining his connection with it. This is described in detail in my Occult Science.

We know from yesterday's lecture that men were still psycho-spiritual beings at this time, but that they were unable to unite with the earth on account of the density of the matter which streamed from the earth into its periphery so long as the moon remained with it. So it came about that the great majority of human souls had to relinquish their union with the earth. Here we come to something of great importance in the relationship between man and earth, something which happened during the time between the separation of the sun and that of the moon. During this interval human soul-spirits, except for a very small number, abandoned earthly conditions, and pressing upward into higher regions, continued their evolution upon the several planets belonging to our solar system, each according to the stage of his development. Some souls were fitted to pursue their evolution on Saturn, others on Mars, others again on Mercury, and so on. Only a very small number of the strongest soul-spirits remained in union with the earth. During this time the rest dwelt upon the earth's planetary neighbours. This came about at a time preceding (to use our own terminology) the Lemurian age.

Then came that other important event, which took place as we know during the Lemurian time, whereby the moon with all its matter and all its forces was itself withdrawn from the earth. This brought about great changes in the earth, which now for the first time came into a condition in which the human being could thrive. Whereas the earth's forces would have been too spiritual had it remained united with the sun, they would have become too coarse had it remained with the moon. Hence the moon too withdrew, and both sun and moon Beings then worked upon the earth from without, thereby bringing it into a state of balance. And in this way the earth prepared itself to become the bearer of human existence. This all happened during the Lemurian age.

Evolution now makes a further advance, and little by little the human soul-spirits who had escaped to the planets begin to return again. That went on far into the Atlantean epoch. What had crystallised out as man during the latter part of Lemuria and during Atlantis was gradually endowed with soul-spirits of differing characteristics, according to whether they came from Mars, or Mercury, or Jupiter and so on. This brought about great variety in earthly incarnations. Those of you who are familiar with the lectures I gave recently in Christiania know that this division of men into Mars-men, Saturn-men and so on was the origin of what later became racial differentiation. It is still possible today for the seer to recognise whether a man's soul has descended from this or that planet.

But it has also been emphasised — and it has been fully discussed in my Occult Science — that by no means all human souls abandoned the earth. What we might describe as the toughest souls were able to go on using earthly matter, and to remain with the earth. I have even mentioned the startling circumstance that there was an outstanding pair of humans who survived the densification of the earth. Spiritual investigation impels us to accept what to begin with seems incredible — that there was such a couple as Adam and Eve, and that the races which arose out of the return of souls from the cosmos came about through their union with the descendants of that pair.

If we bear all this in mind we shall be able to come to a conclusion as to the point of time in our spiritual scientific chronology to which the Bible account refers. Let me remind you that after the six or seven “days” of creation have been described, there comes what the superficial approach of modern biblical criticism takes for a second, separate account of creation; really it is quite consistent with the first. I have often described how during the progress of earthly evolution from the Lemurian to the Atlantean age a kind of cooling down of the earth took place. I went into this in detail in my Occult Science. During Lemuria we must think of the earth as a fundamentally fiery body, as having the element of fire spurting in it; the cooling-down process only began with the transition to Atlantis. During the Atlantean age the surface of the earth was still very different from what it became later; far on into the Atlantean age the surrounding atmosphere was still not water-free. The earth was completely covered with volumes of watery mist. The separation between rain and rain-free air which we have today did not exist in those ancient times. Everything was shrouded in watery mist, laden with all kinds of smoky fumes and other matter which had not at that time assumed liquid form. Much which today is solid at that time still permeated the atmosphere in the form of steam. And far on into Atlantis everything was permeated by those volumes of watery mist.

But that was the very period when what had previously existed in a much more spiritual condition began to take on physical form. In the condition described as the third “day” of creation we must not think that the forms of individual plants, as we know them today, sprouted from the earth, but we must give full weight to the phrase “after his kind,” that is, in species form; the reference is rather to the group-souls of the plants which were present in the earth in an etheric-astral state. What was described on the third “day” as the creation of the plants would not have been visible to external senses, it would only have been seen by clairvoyant organs of perception. It was during the time lasting from the end of Lemuria right on into Atlantis, the time when a state of mist developed in the periphery of the earth, and then gradually grew lighter, that what previously had been etheric became transformed into a condition somewhat resembling what we know today. The etheric became more and more physical. Strange as it may sound, the plant kingdom visible to the external eye did not develop until much later than the time indicated in the account of the third “day” of creation. It did not come about until the time of Atlantis. The geological conditions necessary for the development of the visible plants of today cannot be ascribed to a very early period.

The course of events from the end of Lemuria right on into the Atlantean time can be summarised as follows. The earth was enveloped in dense volumes of mist, charged with clouds of the smoke of various substances, later to be transformed into the crust of the earth. The beings “according to their kind,” visible to clairvoyant consciousness, had not yet been brought to physical densification; and the fertilising of the earth's soil with what still hovered in the atmosphere as water had not yet taken place; that only happened later. How could the Bible give this expression? It would have to say at a certain point: “Even after the conclusion of the seven days of creation, after the completion of what took place during Lemuria, still none of the plants we know today sprouted forth from the earth, the earth was still covered in mist.”

The Bible does in fact say this. If you read on, after the description of the seven days, you find it mentioned that there were still no herbs, no shrubs, on the earth, although it had been said earlier that the forms of the plants had arisen in species form. On the first occasion the reference was to something of a group-soul nature, the second time to something which sprang forth from the earth as vegetation in individual physical form. And the Atlantean mist is described as in fact it was after the “days” of creation. The words For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth indicate that the condensation of the water in the atmosphere to rain only came about after the “days” of creation.

Thus we find a profound wisdom here. But I can assure you that nothing from this document influenced the description given in my Occult Science. I purposely refrained from consulting the Bible, and I might say that there were times when I tried hard to reach results which differed from those of this ancient tradition. Modern materialistic ideas of the Bible make it inevitable that one should not readily read into it any of the facts of Spiritual Science. But Spiritual Science itself constrained us to find in the Bible what we have ventured to say in these lectures, and our own reluctance notwithstanding, we have at last been obliged to recognise in the Bible what spiritual investigation had previously discovered.

Having made our position clear, we may now go on to ask where in the Genesis account we have to place the departure of human souls to the neighbouring planetary bodies, or planetary Beings, brought about by the hardening condition of the earth. We must put it at the point where it says that through the formation of the sound-ether the upper substances are separated from the lower. I went into that fully in my description of the second “day.” And when one follows it all with the eye of the seer one realises that along with what withdrew from the earth, which the Elohim called “heaven,” there withdrew at the same time the human souls. So it is the second “day” of creation which corresponds with the withdrawal of the human soul-spirits into the periphery of the earth at a definite time between the withdrawal of the sun and that of the moon.

But we must bear in mind that there is an important corollary to this. What was it exactly that went out into the cosmos at that time? In which member of man have we to look for it today? Of course it does not exist today as it was at that time, but we can nevertheless find something corresponding to it in certain members of our present human organisation. Let us look at the human being for a moment. Today we distinguish in him four members, the physical, etheric and astral bodies and the bearer of the ego. We know that the physical and etheric bodies during sleep remain in the bed. When we are concerned with those ancient times which are described in the second and on into the third “day” of creation, we cannot speak of physical and etheric bodies as we know them today. These were only formed later out of earthly substance. All there was of the human being at that time belonged to the part of man which today withdraws in sleep from the other human members (grown denser since that time); it belonged to the astral being of man. It is the forces working in the astral body that we must have in mind, when we contemplate the human soul-spirit which at that time took leave of the earth in order to thrive better upon the surrounding planets. It is those forces we have when with our astral body we are outside our physical and etheric bodies, which we have to look for on the surrounding planets after the second “day.”

We know, however, that when today man in the state of sleep is with his finer members outside his physical and etheric bodies, he is so to say articulated into the astral environment of our earth, into the forces and influences of the members of our planetary system. Man is then united with the planetary Beings. But in those far-away times man was not only united with the planets in some kind of sleep, but after his flight from the earth he was united with them all the time. Thus we have to bear in mind that during the third “day” of creation human souls — with the exception of those I have mentioned who stayed behind — were not on the earth, but in the region of the planets; there they had settled and there they developed further. But meanwhile, on the earth, those who, as the strongest, the toughest, had remained behind were developing. And their evolution consisted in clothing themselves more and more with earthly matter, so that there below on the earth, what we now have during the day as our physical and etheric bodies was being prepared. It was in order that these etheric and physical bodies should be able to play their part in every phase of earth development that some souls were preserved on the earth. By that means the etheric and physical bodies which were in course of preparation were propagated even while the moon forces were still united with the earth.

If we bring before our souls a true picture of the state of things after the withdrawal of the sun, we have to say that for the most part what is of a soul-spiritual nature in man is on the neighbouring planets in the circumference of the earth. The sun had already departed, but if at that time a man had been able to stand upon the earth, he would have seen dense formations of misty, smoky and steaming cloud upon its surface. No trace of sun was to be seen. The sun with its forces was far away, and only little by little began to take effect on earth by causing this volume of smoky mist gradually to lighten, and to assume in the circumference of the earth the form which the development of humanity needed. And if a man had been able to look upon evolution from without, he would have seen that it was only very gradually that the fog and the smoke lifted and that the forces of the sun began, not only to act through the dark envelope of smoke, but truly to make themselves perceptible. Or let us say that we are coming to the fourth “day” of creation, and getting near to the event we call the separation of the moon. Had a man been living on the earth at that time, he would have seen the rays of the sun piercing through the masses of smoke and steam. And while this was happening the earth gradually came into a state favourable to human incarnation, a state in which human beings could once more live. From the physical descendants of those who had remained with the earth throughout, bodies could now be produced for the soul-spirits who were returning from the periphery of the earth.

Thus we have two kinds of propagation. What later became the human physical and etheric body derives from those who remained on earth. The soul-spiritual element comes into it from the periphery. To begin with this approach from the neighbourhood of the planets was a spiritual influx. At the moment when the sun had penetrated the clouds of steam and smoke, after the moon had left it, the desire awoke in the soul-spirits of the neighbouring planets to come down again into this earthly region. When from the earth the sun became visible on the one hand and the moon on the other, the urge to descend to the earth grew more pressing in these souls. That is the reality lying behind the words used in describing the fourth “day” of creation: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. For by the stars are meant the planets surrounding the earth. Thus the deed which brought about a kind of balance was produced on the one hand by the sun and on the other by the moon, and at the same time the human souls who wanted to incarnate on the earth prepared for their descent.

This places the fourth “day” of creation at a point in the Lemurian age, after the exit of the moon, when those conditions come about which you find described in my Occult Science, and which you can summarise in the words: “The human soul-spirits are pressing back to earth again.”

But now we must turn our attention for a little to the accompanying spiritual conditions. What we have just been considering is what afterwards became physical. We must become ever clearer that always behind the coarser lies a finer, and behind the physical lies a spiritual. With the exit of the sun the Elohim withdrew, transferring their scene of action to the exterior, so that they could work towards the earth from the periphery. But not all of them went. A part of the Elohim remained united with the earth, even while the earth still had the moon forces within it. And that part of the spiritual forces of the Elohim which remained united with the earth is in a certain way connected with all the good effects of the moon forces. For we must speak of good moon influences too. After the separation of the sun, everything on earth, human beings especially, would have been constrained towards a state of mummification, a hardened, woody condition. The human being would have been lost to the earth. The earth would have become a desert waste if it had retained the moon forces within its body. Within the earth the moon forces could never have been beneficial. Why was it that they had nevertheless to remain along with the earth for a time? Because humanity had to endure every phase of the earth's condition, because its toughest representatives had to survive the moon-densification. But then, after the moon had left the earth, its forces, which otherwise would have led to the death of the earth, became beneficial. After the withdrawal of the moon forces everything revived again, so that even weaker souls were able to descend and incarnate in human bodies. Thus by becoming her neighbour, the moon became earth's benefactor — which from within the earth it never could have been. The Beings who guided this whole series of events are the great benefactors of man. Who were they? They were the very Beings who had just united themselves with the moon, who then wrested the moon from the earth, in order to guide men further in earth evolution. We know from the Genesis account that the leading Guiding Powers were the Elohim. And the forces which brought about the mighty event of the moon's withdrawal and thereby enabled man to assume his proper nature were none other than the very forces which brought about the cosmic advancement of the Elohim to Jahve-Elohim. Part of the Elohim forces remained united with the moon and then withdrew it from our earth. Thus Jahve-Elohim is intimately bound up with what we find in creation as the body of the moon.

Now let us picture to ourselves more closely what all this really signified for man in his earthly incarnation. If man had remained tied to an earth which had the sun within it, then he would have become a mere cipher, fettered to the Elohim; he would not have been able to sever himself, and attain to independent being. But because the Elohim withdrew with the sun, man was enabled to remain with the earth and to preserve his own soul-spiritual life. If it had stopped there, however, man would have become hardened, he would have met his death. Why had man to come into a condition which provided even the possibility of his death? In order that he might become free, in order that he might cut himself off from the Elohim, in order that he might become an independent being. In the moon element man has something within him which really leads to decay, to death, and he would have received too big a dose of this element, had the moon not withdrawn. But you see how it all follows that it is this moon element which, as cosmic substance, is closely connected with human independence.

Present conditions on earth were brought about after the separation of the moon. The influence of the moon is thus not so strong now as it once was. But as far as the foundations of his physical and etheric bodies are concerned, man lived through the moon period too, he lived through the time when the earth was united with the moon, and therefore he has within him something of what is up there on the moon. He has preserved it in his physical and etheric bodies ever since. Thus man has the moon element within him. The earth could not have supported this moon element within it, but man has it in a certain way within him. Thus he has the disposition to be something other than a mere earth being.

As men we have the earth under us; the moon had to be cast out of the earth, but not until the right dose of its nature had been injected into man himself. The earth contains no trace of moon in it; it is we who bear that within ourselves. What would have become of the earth if the moon had not been wrested from it? Look at the moon for once with rather different eyes. The whole constitution of its matter is different from that of the earth. The astro-physicist speaking from the material aspect says that the moon has no air, scarcely any water, which means that it is far denser than the earth. It therefore contains forces which would lead the earth beyond the degree of hardness which earth actually has. These moon forces would make the earth physically harder, more fissured. To get a picture of what the earth would become if the moon forces were still in it, think of a very wet, muddy road becoming dustier and dustier as the water in it evaporates. You can see the whole process happening when after a fall of rain the mud in the street gradually turns to dust. Something like that would have happened to the earth if the moon forces had remained within it — it would have cracked and crumbled into lumps of dust. Something like that will happen to the earth one day, when it has fulfilled its task — it will crumble into cosmic dust. Earthly matter will be dissolved in cosmic space as cosmic dust when man has passed through his evolution upon it. Thus we can say that the earth would have become dust, it had the tendency to become dust, to crumble into particles of dust. It has only been saved from doing so already by the withdrawal of the moon.

But in man something has remained of this disposition towards dust. Through all the circumstances which I have described to you man receives into his being something of moony earth-dust. Those Beings connected with the moon have actually introduced into the human bodily nature something not derived from the earth which we have in our environment since the withdrawal of the moon; there has been imprinted into the human body something of the moon-earth-dust. But since Jahve-Elohim is united with this moon-nature, it means that it is Jahve-Elohim who has imprinted this moon-earth-dust into the human body. So there must have been a point in the course of earth evolution when it would be correct to say that in the cosmic progress of the Elohim Jahve-Elohim imprinted into the human body the earth-dust, the moon-earth-dust. These are the depths beneath that passage in the Bible which says that Jahve-Elohim formed man of the dust of the earth. For that is what it says. None of the translations which convey that Jahve-Elohim formed man out of “a clod of earth” make any sense. Jahve-Elohim imprinted into man the earth-dust. [The English Authorised Version says: And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground.]

Not a few of the startling discoveries we have already made have filled us with awestruck veneration in face of the revelations uttered in the Bible by the ancient seers and rediscovered in our own day be spiritual scientific research. But here, in the words “And Jahve-Elohim imprinted in man's bodily nature the moon-earth-dust,” the tale told by the clairvoyant authors of the Genesis narrative may well inspire in us a sensation of almost overwhelming reverence. And if those ancient seers were aware how the tidings which made them vocal came to them out of the realm wherein the Elohim, and Jahve-Elohim, were active — if they knew themselves to be receiving their wisdom from the very region of the World-creators — then they could say: “There is streaming into us as knowledge, as wisdom, as intelligence, the very Same that once worked within those Beings, giving shape to the earth itself in the beginning.”

Therefore we can look up in holy awe to those ancient seers, who themselves looked up into the regions whence their inspiration descended, into the realm of the Elohim and of Jahve-Elohim. By what name could they have called those Beings, who underpinned alike the creation itself and their own knowledge of it?

What sort of word could they have had for them — unless it were one which filled their whole hearts in the moment of receiving this revelation of the world-creative powers? Looking up to these, they said to themselves: “Our revelation flows down into us from divine-spiritual Beings. We can find no word for those Beings, save only that one which expresses the holy awe we feel. ‘They that beget the holy awe we feel.’” If we translate that into ancient Hebrew how does it run? “They that beget the holy awe we feel” — it has the ring of Elohim — the Hebrew word for those before whom man feels a holy awe. And in such a way we may approach the link which is to be found between the feelings and perceptions of the ancient seers and the name of those Beings to whom they attributed the creation and also their own power of revealing the creation.

Oil Spill Litigation – BP

Fill out the form below to submit your inquiry

On April 20, 2010, an explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform caused the death of 11 workers and put into motion events that have led to one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Today, over 200 million gallons has leaked into the Gulf of Mexico.

As clean up continues, those that make their living in the waters of the Gulf and along the Gulf Coast are paying a horrible price. Oil now pollutes the beaches keeping tourists away, is killing the sea life putting the commercial fisherman out of business, and generally wreaking havoc on an area that relies on the water to survive. Worst of all, scientists and government officials have no idea what the long-term impacts will be.

The Law Offices of Wolf & Pravato is currently taking in new clients who have been impacted by the negligence of the oil companies for Class Action Lawsuits against BP and others involved in causing this tragedy.

Sinners will sin, but I died for each and every one. I am not shocked by sin. Sin and more sin leads to slavery to sin and oppression. Sinners can believe in Me and accept Me. Such as were all who believed. My grace will cover them. If they will confess and repent in brokenness, My Spirit can transform the hardened heart. Awake O sleeper! Come out into the light of day. Prepare your heart to meet our Maker. Time is running out.

Received 7-5-18

Peace and safety will be the cry, though it will be a lie from the enemy deceiving those who are in his grip. You can imagine how easy it will be for that message to be spread. People listen for what they want to hear. They don’t want to be confronted with their sin. They don’t want to repent and give up their sinful ways. They don’t want to hear about a time of judgment. The time is short. Pray for the lost and dying around you. Be bold and courageous.

Received 7-6-18

The time to be comfortable is past. Bring out of your treasury articles of gold, silver and precious stones. Place them on My altar. What do these things represent to you? Do they have value? Yes. Why? Because man says so, or because I say so? Let Me consecrate them for greater value as I use them for My kingdom.

Received 7-7-18

I am with you. Hold on to Me. Call upon Me. Just as was with My people in times past, I will be with you. I will be with you as much as you need Me. Are these things yours? If so, why are you doing them? If they are Mine, then why are you concerned?

Received 7-8-18

My way will lead you into greater revelation of truth and purpose. Cover yourself with praise and thanksgiving. Study My Word.

Received 7-9-18

Come to Me all who labor and you will find rest for your soul. Don’t carry your burdens alone. Let Me help you. Join with Me in doing what I desire.

Received 7-10-18

Live for Me and not for yourself. Be available and ready when I call upon you. Just keep presenting My truth and My Word. Some hearts are hard, some are tender.

Received 7-11-18

All things are possible for them who believe. In My Name there is victory over all kinds of diseases and oppression. Every knee shall bow before Me.

Received 7-12-18

The heart that yields to Me will prosper in all that he does. My hand will guide him.

Received 7-13-18

I will guide you into all truth. Just keep asking Me. You are not special. Anyone who seeks after Me can receive this truth for the asking. If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of Me. There is nothing I don’t know about. Daniel asked Me for what seemed impossible. He recognized and believed that I knew. He gave Me credit for the answer, even saying that it was Me who was directing these unbelieving kings. I direct rulers to accomplish My purposes. Both good and bad. Most people rush into decisions in their flesh, pleasing their flesh, ignoring My counsel. The wise seek Me. Have patience, for nothing is impossible with Me. Deadlines may come and go. Abraham trusted Me for what I could do after Isaac’s death.

Received 7-14-18

I will call you. I will ask you to do what I want. Pruning brings more fruit. Learn how to live in righteousness and holiness. How did I live? Guard your mind and only allow My thoughts to enter.

Received 7-15-18

The heavens declare the glory of God. It is for kings to search it out. Man is made in My likeness. In My world man is doing My will perfectly: seeking after Me, desiring to know Me, obeying My Word and commands with joy and love. As long as you have breath, keep seeking Me.

Received 7-16-18

I am teaching you. Teach others as well. Engage men, confront men, expose the lies of the enemy.

Received 7-17-18

What will get your attention? If I speak, will you listen and obey? Are you too set in your routine to change? How clear must My call to you be? How many confirmations will it take to convince you? Will you step out in faith doing what I ask, exploring, seeking, looking for fruit? If you take My yoke upon you, you will merely go where I am leading you, pulling the weight I have assigned you.

Received 7-18-18

Life can be hard. Because of sin life can be unfair. I will bless those who seek after Me in faith. Do not give up, but call upon Me. Together we can do great and wonderful things.

Received 7-19-18

Be at peace. You are realizing the impact of living loosely with your mind and eyes. You are in part what you allow into your thoughts. If you put in My Word, if you praise Me with your lips, if you think about good and pure things, then you will naturally draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. I will be your Companion, your Friend, your Instructor, your God. Do you want this? I want it for you.

Received 7-20-18

My heart is in Your hands. My life is in Christ. I am loved by My Father. I am overwhelmed by Your Spirit. How wonderful is it to be loved by the One who made me and guides my life!

I am pleased with your statements. Now go and do what I command you to do. Give freely of yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others, nor expect them to be like you.

Received 7-21-18

Sin is sin, but My grace can bring forgiveness and healing. My love compels Me into going after even the hardest of hearts.

Received 7-22-18

I will make a way for your family. Trust Me and give Me praise. Believe My Word and all that I have revealed to you about My love for you.

Received 7-23-18

My time is near for you. Pay attention and listen to My Spirit. Pray in the Spirit often. Allow Me to fill your mind with My thoughts. Love Me, live for Me, seek after Me.

Received 7-24-18

Welcome to the real world, the visible world. But know that there is a spiritual world as well and it is very active, more so as the days near the end. Evil tempts and the flesh responds. Be a beacon of light. You are with My Spirit within you, but you can intensify the light by pressing in toward Me. Praise is like cranking the charger.

Received 7-25-18

Finding peace with God is found when the guilt of sin is removed through forgiveness, repentance, faith in what My Son did on the cross as a sacrifice of immense value and the substitution of His righteousness for your sinfulness. There is no point in praying to Me if you don’t believe that I exist. I will reward those who seek after Me in any fashion. The more they seek, the more I will reveal Myself to them. Who am I to you?

Received 7-26-18

I believe in You. You are my God and Savior. My life is in Your hands. My future is in Your hands.

Received 7-27-18

There is much to do. People are dying spiritually, feeding their flesh, managing their pain, pretending that I don’t see or care. They are deceived by the enemy about religion. You must be different as a follower. Feed your spirit with My Word. Guard your mind to control what goes in and what you think about. Guard your heart to remain faithful to Me, not toying with other gods. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see Me. I am a jealous God.

Received 7-28-18

In all things give thanks and praise. Remain in My love. Seek after Me in a similar way as you did at the beginning.

Received 7-29-18

Trust Me and be blessed. Spread words of love and kindness. I have made a way for you, an opportunity to heal.

Received 7-30-18

Walk with Me into a new area for you. I will open new doors for you. Trust Me. Make yourself available. Prepare your heart.

Received 7-31-18

I am coming soon. Be ready. Watch and pray often. Intercede for the lost, the sinners, the self-righteous. Be ready in season and out of season. The world will grow dark. Confusion and deception and lies will multiply, not just in the political area, but in every aspect of life. A man of integrity will stand out. He will be mocked.

Received 8-1-18

Wait and see the glory of the Lord. Lift up your voices in praise. My work on earth is not done. As long as there is life, I am at work to bring salvation, healing and deliverance.

Received 8-2-18

Watch and pray. Grow in grace and understanding. Love and be loved by Me and by others.

Received 8-3-18

My love is stronger than evil. It overcomes evil. Love as I loved you. Give freely just as I have freely given you.

Received 8-4-18

When you walk through a storm I will be there with you. I am with you in all that you do. Be a listener of My Spirit. Be a friend.

Received 8-5-18

Love your wife in an understanding way. Praise her for her goodness. She is your most important person.

Received 8-6-18

Joy comes in the morning. Troubles fade away when your faith says, “God is helping me.” My love for you grows as you trust in Me. Actually, My love is constant, but your knowledge and confidence in My love grows as you seek Me. It is no small thing to sacrifice to the discipline of prayer and reading My Word. That is where transformation of thoughts and attitudes occur.

Received 8-7-18

What will history record about you? What trace of news will be carried on? What words will describe your life? Who will remember? Who will miss you and mourn over your loss? What will last is what I have done in you and accomplished through you. Come into My presence often and be refreshed. There is no one who knows you more.

Received 8-8-18

Watch and pray for those you love. Give of yourself. Be unselfish and otherly.

Received 8-9-18

Rescue those who live in darkness. Separate yourself from sin in thoughts, words and deeds. Live by My Spirit – in His direction and in His power.

Received 8-10-18

When you are with Me I will reveal Myself to you in new ways. The days are few, so use them wisely. Count the cost if you must, but continue to follow Me. There is no cost greater than what My Son paid.

Received 8-11-18

Come to the fountain of living water. Drink deeply and be satisfied. Refresh your soul. Satisfy the longing of your heart. Rest in green pastures. Take My yoke upon you, for My burden is light. It is light for the man who trusts and relies in Me to perform what he cannot do.

Received 8-12-18

Make a way in the darkness. Do men need help and encouragement? Yes, so lift them up in prayer.

Received 8-13-18

All things work together for good when I am involved, for I am good, and My mercies endure forever. I define what is good. For those who love Me, they recognize a greater good can come out of hardship and pain, even death, death on a cross. The men you see are experiencing My grace and patience and love to have them withheld and restrained from evil, with plenty of time to repent and reflect. I give everyone a choice to freely make, but I make it clear to them that My ways are better. Still some have been deceived and their hearts are hardened to the truth. Their pride and rebellious heart keep them bound to evil. You see some men who are trying to cover all of the bases, dabbling with anything they perceive might help them get out of their mess, but I am who I AM and I do not change. I see the heart. Ask Me for wisdom and insight about those you see. This is My business.

Received 8-14-18

Watch and pray. How long and consistently will you pray for someone or something?

Received 8-15-18

When you walk through a storm, I AM there. Protection, provision, instruction, knowledge, wisdom, guidance, favor, anointing, healing, deliverance – these things I give to My people for the asking and for those who are doing My will. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Received 8-16-18

Be a man, a godly man, a righteous honorable man. Yield your mind, body, soul and spirit to Me. Submit your thoughts to Me.

Received 8-17-18

Be at peace. Work to expand My kingdom, one person at a time. We are soldiers. Keep wearing your armor and be ready for the attacks of the enemy.

Received 8-18-18

When will you listen? Don’t entertain the voices of this fallen world or of the enemy. Seek wisdom and guidance from Me and My Spirit.

Received 8-19-18

I am worthy to be praised. Bow your knee to Me in submission and honor. The way forward is known only by Me. The future is bright as I will reign in glory and power.

Received 8-20-18

Broad is the way that leads to destruction. Many are on this path. They are choosing the easy way, the selfish way. In spite of the pits and traps along this way, they still plod on, not realizing that it will cost them their lives. The road pitches downward until they fall into the very pits of hell. Rescue as many as you can. Help them think about their fate. Encourage those who are choosing the narrow way that leads to life. Affirm their decision. Remind them of My great love for them.

Received 8-21-18

Be at peace. Live for Me and not for yourself. My victory will sustain you.

Received 8-22-18

Life will go on whether you are with Me or not. How empty is life without Me! People need to hear the Truth about Me. A man’s ways are before Me. You cannot hide even one thought from Me. Each person is created for a purpose, a destiny, an opportunity to know Me and live for Me. My Spirit is at work, His work to draw all men to Me. There is a hunger and thirst that can only be met in Me.

Received 8-23-18

When the sun comes up a new day begins. A cycle of life happens for all that live on the earth. Can you answer the questions I posed to My servant Job? As much as man tries to know and understand aspects of My creation, they will only know what I reveal to them. This is My world and soon I will make it all new. My Spirit is guiding you. Trust Me to do what I desire in you and those you influence. Offer and bring to Me your praise and thanksgiving.

Received 8-24-18

My ways are best, though you may not see it at the beginning or during the process. Do you want to please Me, your Creator and Savior? Do I know more than you? Be fruitful and multiply. Do greater works than these. Give and receive of Me. You have in you what people need – a restored relationship with the living Savior. Share freely. Live purposely and intentionally. Follow My Spirit and seek His Wisdom.

Received 8-25-18

People are flawed. They need a Savior. Be at peace, My peace. I am the good Shepherd. I lay down My life for My sheep.

Received 8-26-18

What is your attitude? When you go through a storm I will be there with you. There is a season for everything.

Received 8-27-18

Time will tell if what you are doing is fruitful. You are speaking life into men for Me. They are hearing and watching. What is left to do, but to pray and intercede for them. Prayer can cover many errors as My grace is empowered.

Received 8-28-18

Where there is joy and love and peace – I have been there too. Just as a flower can leave its scent, so My fragrance comes in My Presence. Worship Me is spirit and in truth, in thanksgiving and praise, in love and joy. Rejoice and lift up your spirit.

Received 8-29-18

My Wisdom sees more than you could ever know. He can show you more than you could ever imagine or think. Revelation is just that – a revealing of the unknown. My prophets saw into the future. They did not understand what I was revealing to them, but they were faithful to speak My message. You asked for wisdom about this camp and I revealed how you could proceed.

Received 8-30-18

Where there is truth and life, I am there. There is no turning back for the true disciple of Mine. He follows Me everywhere. He seeks after Me for He knows that I have everything he needs. I am his satisfaction and peace.

Received 8-31-18

Do not hold back on showing love, concern, empathy, comfort, interest, the truth from My Word. Everyone seeks after someone who will listen to them and pay attention to their situation. They need a trustworthy ear. They want a mediator to Me, someone who will pray and advise and counsel as if communicating with Me.

Received 9-1-18

Where there is life, there I AM. A mind set on peace will find peace. A man set on hope will find hope. What is your need? Meditate on My provision.

Received 9-2-18

Give away what is of this world and receive what is from My hands and Spirit. Focus on the eternal, the heavenly, the spiritual.

Received 9-3-18

In all things bring thanksgiving. Graciousness is always noticed by the receiver. My Son has grace. We are grace. Show grace and give grace and love, and people will notice.

Received 9-4-18

Always remember My grace is with you. You represent Me and My ways. Do not be a judge, but a friend, an intercessor, a helper. Give to them what you would want to receive in their place. Loving-kindness – love, goodness, mercy, justice. I took your place in death. Take My life.

Received 9-5-18

There is never a time for rest for the wicked. They seek after victims, they fear constantly. Pray to release them from bondage and sin. Break off chains. My grace is sufficient for the repentant heart.

Received 9-6-18

The ways of man can be painful, to himself and to others he affects. Sin is contagious as he lures others into his activity. Break the cycle, the repetition, the trap in prayer and action. The presence of a godly man thwarts evil. My light in you dispels darkness. You attract the hungry soul. People who came to Me were needy and hungry. I represented hope of a better life. There is always resistance to My Truth. The victory is won, but the enemy still fights on. Pray for the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers into the fields. Break off chains and lies.

Received 9-7-18

Make a way. People have hope in Me to make a way for them. They trust Me for their lives. This is what I want.

Received 9-8-18

The world has turned away from Me, yet I still love them. My love for them and offer of salvation never goes away as long as there is breath of life. People choose their own fate. All the crazy religions of man are deceived, wishful thinking at best. Your ways are noticed. I expand your heart to give love to unlovable people. Life ends and then comes the judgment. Pray to bring the lost to My Savior Son.

Received 9-9-18

The time it takes to seek after Me daily will be worth it. I AM eternal and those who love Me will be soon with Me forever. What could be more important than spending time with Me?

Received 9-10-18

Let Me carry you and what you are doing. Forever is a long time – to rest, to be refreshed, to sit at My feet in adoration, to express praise and thanks, to serve with utter joy. Try to do that today. Practice and get ready for that day.

Received 9-11-18

Jesus loves me. The Father loves me. The Holy Spirit draws me. Who is the Potter? Who is the Gardener? Who is the Creator of all things visible and invisible? Stay in My Presence and let Me fashion you with My tools. What I created was wonderful. What I am making in you is even better. What will be forever is the best. The imperfect will be joined with the Perfect. Even now I am making a body for Myself. My Spirit is working on the gift for My Son. From the beginning of time, it was meant to be.

Received 9-12-18

This is My work not yours. I have prompted the men to come to receive My words and to fellowship in My body. Do not worry or be concerned for I am carrying you.

You have done well My son, with My help. Continue to bring life with your words and deeds. Help the downtrodden, the struggling, the weak, all who have needs – just like My Son did. You are My hands and feet. Shine the light that is in you. Take no place in the ways of darkness. Flee and take authority over his schemes.

Received 9-17-18

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. My grace is sufficient, for My strength is made perfect in your weakness.

Received 9-18-18

The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of My Son is eternal life, life without end, freedom from sin, full of righteousness and joy; even now for those who submit to My rulership over them. The more you live for Me, the greater the blessings that will come from you to others. Be attractive, full of grace and love. I will give these things to you to give away.

Received 9-19-18

In all things give thanks for this is God’s will. Come before Me with thanksgiving in your heart. Testify to all of My goodness, righteousness, mercy and grace.

Received 9-20-18

In all things My grace is sufficient. I am the Potter, you are the clay. You might have flaws and weaknesses, but I still use you for My purposes. Glorify Me in your life by doing what I ask of you, what you see in My Son, as My Spirit leads you. The people you know are My gifts to you. Everyone of them has either something that you need or what you bring to them. Try to give more than you receive but be willing to receive from My hand. You are not a slave but a son.

Received 9-21-18

I am at work in you and in others to bring glory to My Name. Pay attention. Live for Me, thinking of Me, aware of the opportunities I give you. There is nothing better than to be with Me, spending your life with Me.

Received 9-22-18

My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me? Can the Father forsake the Son? How great a price did the Son pay to bear our sins! Was this when the guilt of our sins were placed on Him? Did He ask the Father to do that, fully knowing what that would do? Or did He merely submit Himself to the Father, and the Father took the action to place our sins upon the Son?

Received 9-23-18

You are my Source, my Shield, in You I put my trust. I believe in You. There is no one else.

Peace be to you and to all who live with you. Faithfulness is noticed and rewarded.

Received 9-24-18

Sing a new song of deliverance and victory. Praise the King of kings and Lord of lords. Make way for Him to come in joyful celebration. Hear the trumpets blaring. “Wake up” He says before it is too late.

Received 9-25-18

It will be well with him. In all things, be thankful and have faith in Me. Let your eyes be full of faith. See with My eyes every situation. There are outcomes you don’t think of. All things work together for good when I am involved.

Received 9-26-18

There is a price to pay for sin. The fool thinks he can get away in doing what is wrong. He justifies his actions. He pretends that I don’t see or know what he is doing. He thinks that because he wasn’t “punished” or caught in sin, that he can do it again and again. He finds others who also sin to be with, to support each other. Before too long he becomes a slave to sin, easily giving into the temptation and opportunity to sin. His heart becomes hardened, even if he hurts others or even his own family.

I can rescue such a man. My Spirit broods over him. He finds himself facing death. He is afraid of death, for inside he knows that he has sinned and that he cannot be with a holy God. That fear and failure causes him to cry out to Me. I show him how to repent. He sees my love and the love of My Son dying for him on the cross. He receives My forgiveness and healing. My Spirit directs him out of sin and into life and wholeness. Still there is a price for sin that he must pay. That price can be tempered by My love and grace. He becomes a living testimony, a light to others to follow. Prayer helps a man. Mercy and loving kindness follow him.

Received 9-27-18

Look to Me in everything you do. Do not be complacent or overly confident in yourself. Seek to know Me, to know My will and My ways. Be led by My Spirit. Let these words direct you and give you faith in Me. Be a man who believes in Me.

Received 9-28-18

This is the way of sin and fallen man. Pray for repentance. Lying and deceit have been here from the beginning. It is a sin to misrepresent Me and My Word, for I am holy and righteous and true. There is no other standard higher than Mine. Every knee shall bow before Me. Be careful with My Word. Cherish it and speak highly of it.

Received 9-29-18

Be at peace for I am working. I see and hear the cries for help. All who call upon Me shall be saved. Yes, there may be confusion and lack of faith, but any faith is better than unbelief. Desperation and need drive a man to Me. Jail and trials are the crucible to test a man. What is really in his heart? Who does he go to for help? You are My representative, My hands and feet, My voice. Protect yourself in My Word.

Received 9-30-18

Many are struggling, but there is always hope in Me. Cast your cares upon Me. Truth never hides forever. Knowledge and wisdom is revealed for those who are seeking after Me. What is revealed is our need for a Savior. If the innocent are mocked and attacked, how much more will the guilty face judgment? I will not be mocked when I return again. Every knee will bow before Me.

The book that we have selected as our bookstore’s book of the month this month — Paul Tripp’s, What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage — is also on sale in the Kindle store for $3.74.  Pick up a print version or the digital version and benefit from this excellent resource.

Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world. Yet, in pastor Paul Tripp’s professional experience, the majority of couples enter marriage with unrealistic expectations, leaving them unprepared for the day-to-day realities of married life.

This unique book introduces a biblical and practical approach to those realities that is rooted in God’s faithfulness and Scripture’s teaching on sin and grace. “Spouses need to be reconciled to each other and to God on a daily basis,” Tripp declares. “Since we’re always sinners married to sinners, reconciliation isn’t just the right response in moments of failure. It must be the lifestyle of any healthy marriage.”

What Did You Expect? presents six practical commitments that give shape and momentum to such a lifestyle. These commitments, which include honestly facing sin, weakness, and failure; willingness to change; and embodying Christ’s love, will equip couples to develop a thriving, grace-based marriage in all circumstances and seasons of their relationship.

Vetiver Oil: A Grass Roots Therapy For Better Sleep

If you suffer with insomnia, or if you have trouble relaxing at night, you might find this post helpful.

An Aussie Maple Leaf, adrift on the wind...

One of my most consistent problems with sleeplessness is that I can be totally exhausted, but still unable to actually drop off to sleep.

That’s mostly because of my fibromyalgia, but it is complicated by back pain on those nights when my pain relief medication fails to cut the mustard, as it sometimes does.

Because I know from past experience that prescription sleeping medication causes my whole system to lag, and because of the strong pain killers I need to take for my back as well as my fibro, I feel very strongly about not having those other drugs in my regime.

So,I recently visited my friendly local alternative health practitioner and asked, “What can you suggest to help me sleep?”

She suggested Vetiver Oil, diluted in fractionated coconut oil. The instructions say to apply it under both big toes and to the wrists, to inhale deeply on going to…

Programme Information

How does the referral process work?

Your referrals can start their free trial for Google Workspace by signing up through your unique referral link. They will have the option to apply one of your promotion codes when they first sign up to their 14-day trial period. You will be eligible for payments once your referrals have been paying Google Workspace customers for at least 90 days. Rewards vary by country. Once you are eligible for payment, you will receive an email notification to fill out your payment form. The reward payment will be deposited in your bank account by the end of the following month.

Whom can I refer?

You can refer any business that has not previously started a Google Workspace trial and is not currently a customer of a Google Workspace partner.

You can also refer Google Workspace to any individual who is starting their business and does not have a professional Google domain/account (i.e. Google Workspace).

What is the criteria for an eligible referral?

New Google Workspace customers who are from one of these eligible countries, and have not previously signed up for a Google Workspace trial are eligible as a potential referral. You are eligible to reveive reward payments for your referred customer account’s first 100 users, and you can earn rewards for up to 200 users per calendar year. To be eligible to earn rewards for users above this threshold, you may apply to join the Google Workspace Affiliate Program.

Where can I find my referral link?

Your referral link can be found in the welcome email that you received after registering for the programme. The email was sent from the Google Workspace Referral Programme and you should receive it within 24 hours.

If you can’t find your welcome email, please check your "Promotions” tab in Gmail. You can also contact us with the email address that you signed up with if you still can’t find your link.

How much can I earn?

As a member of the Google Workspace Referral Program, you can earn for every new user that signs-up $8 (for the Business Starter plan), $15 (for the Business Standard plan), $23 (for the Business Plus plan), up to US $3,000 per domain.

A user is an individual account belonging to the customer domain. Your referral amount will be based on the number of users who have paid for at least 90 days.

Product Referral fee
Business Starter $8 / user (max $800 per customer)
Business Standard $15 / user (max $1,500 per customer)
Business Plus $23 / user (max US $3,000 per customer)

Is there a way for me to track the status of my referrals?

We regularly send out a dashboard email that will include the status of your referrals. This email displays the number of:

  1. In-trial Referrals: Referrals who are currently in their 14-day trial.
  2. Potential Paid Referrals: Eligible referrals who are located in any of these eligible countries, and completed their 14-day trial. These referrals may have also used your promotion code, but have not completed 90 days of signing up with their new Google Workspace account.
  3. Paid Referrals: Referrals that completed their 90 days as paying Google Workspace account users. After a referral converts into a paid referral, look out for an email from the Google Workspace Referral Program requesting your bank information.

If you would like to know the number of users your referral has, you can send us a message and we can check how many eligible referrals and seats they have.

My referral forgot to use my referral link. Is there a way to track it back to my account?

We're unable to track referrals back to your account if they didn't use your referral link at the time they signed up.

Can I receive payment for previous customers I referred before the Referral Programme was launched or before I signed up?

The Referral Programme tracks referrals that are new Google Workspace customers. We cannot grant referral credits to customers who have signed up or started a trial before the programme launched or before you joined.

Can I refer customers in any country?

You are able to refer a customer in any country that is in the region you are enrolled in. For example, if you are signed up in the United States, the promotion codes you receive can be used for any country in the Americas.

In order to refer a customer in a country outside of your region, you will need to enroll in the referral program again for that intended region. For example, if you live in India, you are eligible to refer customers in any country within the Asia Pacific region. However, if you live in India and would like to refer someone in the UK, you must enroll for the EMEA region.

Currently, the program is available in the regions and countries listed here. You will need a bank account in each country where you register. At this time, credit will not be given for referred customers outside of the countries listed.

When will the Referral Programme be available in my country?

The Google Workspace Referral Programme is currently available in the countries listed here. We don't know exactly when, but we hope to expand to your region soon. Let us know where you're located and how to contact you when we do.

Promotion Codes

How does the promotion code discount work?

If you provide a promotion code to one of your referrals, he/she is entitled to a per-user discount of 10% for the first year as a Google Workspace customer.

If your referral is in the United States, Canada, or EMEA region, they will need to apply your promotion code when providing their billing information, before completing their sign up for the 14-day trial.

If your referral is in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru or APAC region, they will have the option to enter their billing information and your promotional code at any time during the 14-day trial period.

Each promotion code is unique and can only be redeemed by one customer account from a country in the region you are signed up in as a referrer.

If you join the program in multiple regions, Google will provide promotion codes for the relevant regions upon your request, up to 100 promo codes per calendar year.

When should my referral use my promotion code?

Google Workspace offers a 14-day trial. When the customer is ready to provide their billing information before the trial is over, they should enter your promotion code.

Where can my customer enter the promotion code?

  1. Once your referral has finished signing up to Google Workspace, they can log in to the Google Workspace window with their domain name and select Admin Console.
  2. Inside the Admin Console, they will find the Setup Billing button in red on the top-right hand side of the window.
  3. In the Setup Billing window, they can enter the promotion code in the field called Promotional Code.

If they need to enter this code after they have already entered their billing, they can find the option in the payment plan section of the billing console.

My referral forgot to use their promotion code. Can we still get the discount?

Your referral can use the promotion code as long as they have not input their billing info yet. If they have not, they have their entire 14-day trial to enter it.

My promotion code does not work

Upon entering your promotion code, you will see a note about a 20% discount being applied at the bottom of the billing summary that states, 'amount plus applicable taxes and VAT minus the promotional discount'. Since your referral will be able to change the number of users that they have and are able to change Google Workspace plans, the actual monetary amount of the discount will be reflected in the monthly billing.

When and how will I get paid?

  1. You will be eligible for your payment once your referral has been a paid Google Workspace customer for at least 90 days.
  2. Once you’re eligible for your first payment, you will receive an email asking for your banking information through our secure form.
  3. On the 25th of the month, following the referrals you made that are eligible for payments, you will receive a direct deposit in your bank account for any payments you earned.

How to avoid payment delays

Once your first referral has been a paying Google Workspace user for more than 90 days, you will receive an email with instructions on how to provide your bank information so that you can receive your payment. Once you receive the 'Last Reminder' email, you will have 2 more weeks to provide us your bank information in order to get paid in the next payment cycle.

If you miss the time frame to provide your bank information, you will experience a delay receiving your payment since your window for that month will have closed. However, you will still be able to get paid. Once you provide your bank information, your payment will be processed during the following month's cycle.

To access the form directly and provide your bank details so you can receive payments, select your country and complete the subsequent steps on this page:

If you would like find the email requesting your bank information, search for this subject line:

[RESPONSE REQUESTED]: Google Workspace Referral Program--Please fill out the Payment Form

Why haven’t I received my payment in my bank account?

Payments are processed on a monthly basis. If you have not received a payment, you will probably receive it during next month’s payment cycle. Please contact us with your account details to verify.

Who needs to fill out the W-8BEN tax form?

Are you located in the US?

No, I do not live in the United States, BUT plan to refer someone from the Americas – If you plan to refer to a country in the Americas (United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Peru) you must fill in the W-8BEN tax form (more information here).

This W-8BEN tax form is for referrers who are not located in the US but are referring individuals or businesses located in the Americas.

Yes, I live in the United States: Referrers who are located in the US, do not have to fill in the W-8BEN tax form.

Why is my bank charging me fees?

We have heard from some fellow referrers that they have had to pay some bank 'fees' when receiving the payment through their bank. This will depend exclusively on your bank. Please also note that Google does not cover these fees. You will have to contact your bank for more information.

Why is my bank converting the currency for my referrals to my local currency?

Your bank may have to convert the currency of your referral into your local currency. Depending on which country your referral is from, Google has no control over the associated exchange rate and fees.

My bank is charging me fees that are more than my referral bonus. Can I hold my payment until my referral bonus reaches $XXX?

Contact us to request a hold to your payment until your referral reaches $XXX.

Depending on the bank transfer fees, currency conversion or any other bank-associated fees that are due to the time when you receive your first payment. You can contact our support team to request a payment hold until you have reached a certain amount of referral bonus that will cover these initial bank fees. You will then collect that payment once you have reached that referral $XXX amount.

Product description

Prepare yourself for the wrath of the Norsemen! That is, if you don’t mind and it’s not too inconvenient…Everyone knows Vikings are ruthless barbarians whose idea of a good time involves pillaging, plundering and feasting. But Thorfinn is no ordinary Viking! He is always polite and happily offers to wash the dirty dishes. Too bad his dad is Harald the Skull-Splitter, Village Chief and the roughest and toughest Viking of them all. Tired of Thorfinn and his too-nice ways getting them into trouble, his dad decides it’s time for Thorfinn to earn his gruesome Viking name. Stuck on a longboat with a ragtag bunch of adventurers who’d like to throw him overboard, how will the Nicest Viking cope with a dangerous voyage to Scotland? Thorfinn the Nicest Viking is a funny, illustrated, action-packed new series for young readers who love Horrid Henry and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, set in a world where manners mean nothing and politeness is pointless!
