I am here, Jesus.
Well, my disciple, I realize that your desires are that I shall
deliver a message to you tonight, and I am anxious to do so, yet
I see you are not in condition that I may take possession of your
brain that is necessary in order to write satisfactorily. I am sorry
that this is so, but it is a fact, and we will have to wait awhile
longer, which will not be very long, for you are much improved,
and if you continue to pray you will soon become in that soul condition
that will enable me to make the rapport.
There are many messages yet to be written and I am anxious that
you receive them in order that they may be delivered to the world,
for the world is now awakening to a greater realization of the fact
that man is spiritual and must have spiritual food. The war is causing
many people to think of the hereafter and the destiny of the soul;
and the knowledge that the world now has of the future life is very
meager and unsatisfactory, merely a knowledge that the spirit survives
death and experiences more or less happiness in the spirit life.
As you know, this is not the vital thing in the destiny of man,
for while a knowledge of the survival of man from the death of the
physical, may and does give a great deal of consolation to the near
and dear ones who are left on earth, yet that fact does not, in
the slightest degree, determine the condition or destiny of the
soul that has left its home in the flesh; and there are no means,
now known to men, to show that destiny, except some things written
in the Bible which are the subjects of much speculation and controversy
and want of belief. The consolation of those who have faith in the
Bible is founded on that faith, or rather, in most cases, belief;
but there are a number of believers in the truths of the Bible,
with a conscious soul perception of their real meaning, who have
that faith which makes certain to them the facts of destiny, and
the possession of love in their souls.
I will come soon and endeavor to write a formal message; in the
meantime let your prayers ascend with more earnestness and longings
to the Father. As you know, I love you as my brother and disciple,
and am with you as you pray each night, uniting in our prayers,
and you must let your faith increase, and believe that your prayers
are being heard, and will be answered to the fullest. I will not
write more now.
So my brother, good night, and may the Father bless you with His
greatest blessings.
Your brother and friend,
Jesus
