June 1st, 1920.
Received by James Padgett.
Washington D.C.
I am here, Jesus.
Let me write a few lines, for it has been a long time1
since you have received any writing from me, and I am desirous to
write you. You will remember when last2 I wrote that
I told you that there are many messages yet to be delivered, and
that you must get in condition to receive the same, and I now repeat
that statement with emphasis.
As you have been told many times, these revelations can be made
only through your mediumship and unless you become fully convinced
of this fact, and act accordingly, these truths that are so important
to man, and that we are so anxious to have come to the knowledge
of the world, may not be made known. This I know may seem extravagant
and hardly possible, but it is the truth and you must believe it.
I am as much interested in the work as ever and also in the work
that your two friends are now doing, as well as in that which they
shall do in the future, and they also must realize this fact and
believe what I tell them. The work of Mr. Morgan is one that is
very important and causes the salvation of many souls that are now
and have been in darkness, and he must understand that only he can
so successfully do the work. As has been written him, there are
myriads of these spirits who attend him when he gives his talks,
and many more who make the effort to get near enough to him to catch
the import of his teachings, but cannot get within the circle that
desire the benefit of what he says. And as his spirit friends have
told him, his band and others find much difficulty in giving the
necessary attention to all those who have become interested in the
truth because of what he says to them. But he need not hesitate
to do the work because of this feature of conditions, for sooner
or later, they will all have the advantage of the instructions of
spirits whose mission it is to instruct in the way of life.
But he is mistaken when he thinks because of what some of his friends
write, that he can start the great truths to be made known, because
that is not his work. They must first be completed when they can
be made known to the world, and then this great work will commence
and continue. No, upon you depends the necessity of receiving the
truths. No other can do this now, and until they shall have been
received our book must not be printed or circulated, for the world
must have all the truth that it is now capable of receiving and
assimilating. Just here I want to say that while the great vital
truth of the new birth is already known to you and can be made known
to men, yet, you, in your day, will not receive all the truths of
the Infinite. Always new ones will come to the knowledge of men,
and the revelations of truth will never have a finality - and no
man or spirit can ever be able to say that his knowledge is complete.
Progress is the one law of the universe that exists always, and
man, when he gets in condition, will always be the object and subject
of that law.
But the messages that you have read tonight state a fact when they
say that you are not in the condition of soul development that you
have been, and are not in that rapport with the higher spirits that
enables them to communicate. You must arouse from this condition
and let your longings go out to the Father for his love, and your
thoughts turn more to spiritual things. We are greatly delayed by
this condition of yours, and as a consequence, some of the spirits
who are engaged and interested in this work become a little impatient,
and communicate their thoughts and encouragement as they did in
the messages to your friends. I will come soon and resume my writing
of the higher truths, if you are in the condition to receive them.
Now think of what I have said, and in thinking, realize the importance
of your work. I will not write more tonight; and will leave you
with my love and blessings. Good night.
Your brother and friend,
Jesus
1 Initially this message was shown as June 7th in the
tablet as received. This tablet was however not the original, but
a typed out document. The message
previous to June 7th was five days prior. Which would seem to be
at variance with this comment. Yet both this message's content and
the previous message match the entry descriptions in the tablet,
suggesting the dates are correct.
2 This was not contained in the message immediately
prior, but was the subject of a great many messages. And
particularly this one on March 7th 1920. From this I am deducing
this message was actually June 1st, not June 7th, and that a transcription
error has ocurred.
