Received by K.S.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I feel grateful for the privilege of being able
to channel thoughts from your Celestial
children. I have been neglecting to afford them
the opportunity of conveying their thoughts
through me. I have been feeling anxious and
unsettled and didn’t believe I could be a clear
medium.
I pray for a great inflowing of Your Divine
Love at this time. I pray to be able to put aside
my distractions and forethoughts so an angel
may write a message through me at this time.
Thank you for the many blessings You
bestow upon us every day. Help me remain
open to the influence of divine spirits so I may
serve You better and help Your lost children
learn about the availability of Your wondrous
transforming love. Amen.
We are with you throughout your days,
guiding you in your work. As you know,
everything that you do as a movement of your
love is God’s Work because that love
extended from your soul affects the elements
around you which, in turn, carry a higher
purpose within their properties.
It may seem like "sci-fi" when we attempt to
convey how spiritual energies affect the
material and that’s why it acquires the name
"magic" or "miracle" because, generally
speaking, people don’t believe that these
could be common occurrences. But they are.
You have the power to bring positive changes
to your surroundings by giving your love,
expecting good results, and knowing in your
hearts that you can, do, and will reap what you
sow.
Too often people see only the material results
of certain activities and conclude that they
didn’t receive what they wanted. They become
disappointed and disheartened without taking
into consideration that this result would have
led them in a higher and better direction than
the one they were aiming for. They lack the
broader vision, and fail to activate their faith in
the wonderful laws God has put into motion to
bring them to a rewarding place in their lives.
So, as a chain reaction, they cut themselves
off from realizing these rewards and settle for
less.
As you are aware, there is a law that
essentially states that a person does not miss
something which he or she has never
experienced. Even though God’s children fail
to carry through with keeping their spiritual
goals and desires foremost in their minds
and hearts, in order to attract the most fulfilling
rewards and blessings, they are not acutely
aware of what they are missing, and therefore
make do with what unfolds for them. You can
see from this why it is so important to be
humble and activate your faith in the power of
love and spiritual laws to guide you in an
upward direction, step by step.
There is a wide variety of information out there,
most of which is only temporary, and, even
though a person wholeheartedly believes in
something that is not true, this false belief can
serve a purpose for the time being. Perhaps
because of a person’s fragile emotional
state, this temporary belief prevented a
breakdown. Accepting a person, imperfections
and all, is the best way you have of helping
him or her overcome their blocks and fears. It
can open their hearts to learning new ideas
and trusting others.
You cannot teach the truth to the masses until
they are in condition to hear it, so, in the
meantime, you need to continue with your own
spiritual development, which renders you
more tolerant and loving, and able to
demonstrate your acceptance of others. This
demonstration of love toward all your brothers
and sisters is what will help them want to
listen to what you have to say. Otherwise, you
will just be saying words, and people will not
be able to distinguish your words from all the
other words that are being said out there. They
sound the same, they look the same, and they
can’t distinguish the order of your words from
all the others they’ve read, seen, and are
seeing every day.
Of course, the desire to know the truth needs
to be activated in the soul before it will be able
to feel the love, and have the truth resonate
within it. But, if the truth is not delivered with
humility and sincerity, it may very well be
discarded with all the rest of the "information"
shared by everyone who believes that they
have it "right" this time.
But what time is this? Perhaps they have
come up from earthbound to first sphere! You
are aware that the masses don’t have a very
highly developed love nature and they still
believe that love has mostly to do with sexual
expression, while in truth (though love can be
expressed through physical affection), it is not
mainly a physical emotion. Love is a quality of
the soul. You can feel the peace and tranquility
of love when you pray for at-onement with
God, when you drink in the beauty of nature,
and feel God’s blessings surrounding you.
Take this joyous and peaceful feeling with you
wherever you go. Let it be expressed in each
and every project you become involved in. You
are spiritual beings. You are souls. You need
love to fulfill the purpose of your creation. It is
essential to your well-being.
A person can go through the motions of living,
of functioning in the material world – eating,
sleeping, cleaning – distracting herself from
facing the truth, from dealing with issues
which are interfering with the fulfillment of
love’s expression. During all this
pseudo-living, the soul is hungry, starving for
real love which comes only from God, and the
poor, dear children who try to develop their
love natures without God’s help are very
unsuccessful indeed. And that’s what you’re
finding in the world today – people looking for
love in all the wrong places, places where it
cannot be found, because it does not exist
there.
So, people pretend they are happy. They
make do with what they have, and with what
they do not have, and the world is not a happy
place. Happiness is a state of mind, but the
mind cannot attain that state when the soul is
not enlightened. And, since you know you are
soul, and that love is a quality of the soul, then
you need to help God’s children come to that
awareness. The time is coming when more
people will have spiritual experiences, and
soon the evidence will be so overwhelming,
that a majority of people will believe. And
these so-called supernatural experiences will
not be considered an oddity, or a mental
disorder, and will not have to be kept under
wraps to protect one from being ostracized by
others.
I know that you are surprised by the content of
my message, but I picked up on your desire to
receive whatever it was that I wished to
convey, and I took advantage of the opportunity
you’ve given me.
I also am aware of the fact that you feel that
you cannot discern the identity of the spirit
who
is writing, and that’s one of the major reasons
you don’t allow us to write. Your block is real.
You don’t enjoy being criticized for receiving
untruthful information, but lately we have been
trying to explain that the majority of "spiritual
information" in the world today is untruthful
information, and that people need to start with
a less-high truth than you’ve been trying to
foist upon them. Keep it simple and
down-to-earth: "You are a child of God, a soul.
Love is a quality of your soul." If they don’t
learn the basics, they may get hung up on too
many other facts, which will never fit into the
equation.
Step-by-step, learn your lessons well. Develop
your love; love yourselves. Extend that love,
and self-love, in all of your activities, then you
will be teachers of truth. Then you will have the
necessary emanations that will attract others
to listen and hear what you are saying.
Do not be anxious. All will be well. We will be
working by your sides forevermore. I will leave
you with my love and blessings, and I am your
brother, John the Apostle. As Doug told you, I
was waiting for you to invite a Celestial to
write. And you did quite well, even over the
difficult passages. You can acquire greater
faith in your ability to receive our thoughts
clearly by not doubting yourself, or God’s gifts.
Have a good week, and give your love,
particularly to yourself.
