I am here, Jesus.
You read in a Padgett message that I said, "My
development in the knowledge of the truths which I taught during
my public ministry was caused by my inner spiritual faculties, and
my teacher was God, who, through His angels and through my soul
perceptions, caused to come to me those truths, or rather the knowledge
of them, and in no other way did I obtain it."
You have learned that my teacher was God, directly, and that no
mortal or spirit before me possessed the Divine Love. So then, the
phrase "through His angels" confuses you. Let me explain.
Certain spirits were indeed given knowledge of God's Plan regarding
salvation in the Divine Love, though they knew that I was destined
to be the one in which this Love was first reinstated, and that
I would also embody It.
To understand the situation, it is important for you to realize
that I was certainly not left to my own devices when I began my
mission. Since I had the full support of the Creator, He naturally
provided for my needs. So what I am saying is that it is a fact
that a band of powerful spirits watched over me and protected me
at every moment of my career, up to my death.
This knowledge of God's Plan possessed by these spirits is only
logical to assume, for how could these spirits have assisted me
if they were totally ignorant of God's Plan?
As soon as they learned about the Divine Love, they started praying
for It, and received it, when it was possible to do so. But none
of them reached the New Birth before I did.
The word "angel" in the original Padgett message has its
original meaning of "messenger."
As far as the Divine Love was concerned, I was always the chief
possessor, but being a mortal, I was subject to the laws of the
mortal life, and required the assistance of these spirits in other
ways. They were very powerful and wise, and knew exactly how to
fulfill my needs. But they also needed to have at least a working
knowledge of the purpose of my mission. So even though God was my
direct teacher, I was also assisted by this band, whom God used
to provide for me.
There were certain spiritual insights that only God could supply,
but in other ways, He used these spirits to assist me.
Once I was in full possession of the Truth, these spirits learned
from me as well as from God.
It is one thing to hear about the Divine Love, but it is quite another
to possess It. As you well know, none of my disciples understood
this Love and Its significance until the great Pentecost.
In the case of my spirit band, they were not encumbered by earthplane
limitations and error, so they understood the Truth much better
than my disciples.
Just as I had a powerful effect on mortals, so I also had a powerful
effect on spirits, many of whom followed my lead in pursuing the
Divine pathway. But of these obedient spirits, some were specially
designated to assist me in a more direct way. They accepted this
mission gladly.
So, in summary, this spirit band did assist me in my knowledge of
my mission, in addition to providing for my other needs. But there
were certain insights that only God could explain.
