I am here, James, Apostle of Jesus.
I have heard you read the messages, and I have listened to your
conversation and I am much pleased that you both enjoyed the messages
so much, for if you had not had the soul development that is yours,
you would not have been able to understand the purport of the messages
as you did.
It is a wonderful message of truth, and if men could only understand
what its real significance is, they would soon renounce not only
their sins and evil thoughts, but their belief in the false creeds
that cause them to neglect the true way to the Kingdom of God, that
many of them, even though they may not receive the Divine Love that
is so necessary to lead them along the way to the Celestial Heavens.
I am glad that this great knowledge has come to you both and that
you are on the way to this greater and grander kingdom where are
men who are men no longer, but are angels of the divine nature that
the Master has to such a degree of perfection.
Well, I want to say a few words to my special charge (Dr. Leslie
R. Stone) tonight and he must believe me and trust in me as his
special angel; I would desire to inform him that his soul is developing
more and more each day, and that we are all well pleased at his
progress. Soon he will be in that condition that he will not have
to wait until he gets into the spiritual world in order to have
some of the Celestial Heaven in his soul, and with it that happiness
and peace that comes only to those who possess the Divine Love in
a degree that many spirits of that soul development don't have.
He is pursuing the right course and he must not let doubt enter
his mind or soul, for he is, in truth, one of the redeemed of this
love that he has been so often told is waiting for him without limitation.
I am with him very often, trying to help and influence his thoughts
for good of the Divine, and he must continue to pray and believe;
and I, James, his own true friend and guide, assure him that he
will not be disappointed.
Life on earth, at the most, is short and fleeting, and his work
is one that only he can do. His is not the gift that another may
have, but is his all alone and in a short time now, it will be developed
in him, and he will be informed of just what his work will be. He
is now doing a good work but its results he has no conception of,
for there are many spirits who a short time ago were in darkness,
and now are in light and much happiness, who give to him the credit
of being the one who started them on their progress to light and
happiness.
So tell him to have courage and faith and he will not be forsaken
or left to the influence of evil or depraved spirits who are so
very numerous in the earth plane at all times trying to influence
mortals to become as sinful and depraved as they themselves are.
I will not write more, as I feel that he would like to hear from
some others who are present. But tell him that I as well as many
others of the higher spirits love him and are with him very much
and pray to the Father to shower upon him the blessings of the Divine
Love.
So with my love to you both, I will say good night
and God bless you,
Your brother in Christ,
James
