I am here now to write, my dear sister in
Christ, and I come this morning to extend my
love to my coworkers in the flesh and to deliver
what I hope may help humankind in their
quest for truth, if they have ears to hear and an
open heart to learn of the great Love their
Father in Heaven has for His children who
seek for the way to salvation of soul. I am your
friend and brother in the Spirit of God's Love,
the Christ Spirit made manifest in my soul,
Jesus of the Bible and Master of the Celestial
Heavens, and I welcome this opportunity to
come through you in this way to express my
thoughts, and I also thank you for affording me
this opportunity.
As you realize, there are many different ways
of saying the same thing and, to complicate
matters, people have said things in so many
different ways to so many different people that
the meaning and intent of what they were
trying to convey became obscure and easily
misinterpreted by the readers and listeners of
these statements. And when the person
reading or hearing such statements sifted it
through his own thought process and added
his interpretation to what he was exposed to,
the meaning became somewhat altered by
his understanding and experiences. So when
he would, in turn, extend what he had heard to
others and they took it through their
interpretations, it didn't, or wouldn't, take long
before very little of the original thought
remained intact.
So, I am sure you can see how easily
misinterpretations from the original teachings
of mine and my disciples could have been
made and why; therefore, it is so important for
seekers of truth to take what they see and
hear, and otherwise learn, to prayer, asking
God to show them the way to Him, asking that
they be enabled to discern the truth with their
hearts and souls. For this is possible for the
sincere seeker, and one of the ways which
needs to be stressed in order for the masses
to realize that truth – high spiritual truth –
cannot be discerned by the reasoning mind,
but must come to the person through the
perceptions of a soul which has been
developed by the Love of God, conveyed to the
soul in answer to sincere and heartfelt prayer.
The reason there are so many false teachings
being expounded in the world today is
because these professed spiritual teachers
are spreading the words which they have
interpreted from the Bible, which has been
miscopied and misunderstood down though
the centuries, and because they believe they
can understand spiritual truths through the
reasoning powers of their minds, and this
cannot be.
So, now we have another case to support the
importance of a person's search for truth and
the absolute necessity for that person to turn
to God in prayer before the truth can be known
by that soul. As we stress the limitations of the
human mind's reasoning powers and help
readers learn that their souls have
perceptions which can be developed through
Love -- the Divine Love received from God
though earnest and prolonged prayer -- then
perhaps we will reach some seekers of truth
who have been on the verge of giving up the
search, believing or having concluded that
there was no way it could be found in the vast
maze of untruth which prevails in the world
today. So, if these dear souls who would be
sincere seekers discover that they have been
using the wrong faculties in trying to find the
truth and can realize that they do have a soul
which is their real self and which has potential
power of its own when the mind becomes
humble and allows the soul to develop its own
qualities, then perhaps we will have been
successful in reaching some segment of
souls and saving them from feelings of
despair.
It is solely between each individual soul and
the Soul of God that enables a soul to
progress in Love. A church cannot cause that
development; a group cannot, except as the
truth is taught and exemplified for the seeker
to follow in the way toward at-onement with
God in Love. As he is helped to realize and
accept that it is up to him, alone, to pray
sincerely from his heart for that Love, to learn
to depend upon God for his guidance in life, to
know that God is the One Who gave him that
life in the first place, this commencement of
humility will be the key which opens the doors
of his soul, which will help him realize that his
human mind has weaknesses and is fallible,
can make mistakes, and is utterly incapable of
grasping high spiritual truths until the soul
qualities have been developed. When the
soul activates its potential or receives Divine
Grace from God's Soul, then it has the power
to transform the qualities of the mind, which
then allow the mind to grasp these higher
meanings and explanations of the truths of the
Father.
So, there is hope for the lost soul. There is a
way a person can find his way out of
darkness and despair and that is through
sincere prayers to God for His Help and Love
through prolonged desires to know the truth
and how to find the way to the Salvation of
soul. Divine Love is the provision of the Father
to save the souls of His children. A child must
have faith in the Father's Love and care for
him. Without that necessary faith, it would be
almost impossible for a child to turn to the
Father in prayer. So, faith and prayer on the
part of the child will bring the saving Grace --
God's Divine Love -- into that child's soul as I
have explained in the messages delivered
through James Padgett and as I am
explaining now, and as I will continue to
explain in the future as long as the gates to
the Celestial Heavens are open and the
invitation to the wedding feast can and will be
accepted by God's children everywhere. I am
your friend and brother in Christ, Jesus of the
Bible and Master of the Celestial Heavens.
