I am here, John:
I want to say a few words in reference to your conversation about
the Prayer and the importance of thoroughly understanding it, and
its spiritual significance and the wonderful truths that it contains.
I heard you say that when you first received it there was in its
meaning all confusion, and that you did not understand that it would
convey any great truths, or help very much those who should offer
it to the Father. Well, I have no doubt but what you say is true,
and there is a good reason for the same, and that is that it is
so full of the declarations of wonderful truths and thoughts for
soul aspirations that it was difficult, and almost impossible, for
your mind or soul to grasp the same, and like every other truth
that men do not understand, it does not at first reception appear
to be a thing of truth that men can learn, and learning make their
own.
But the truths of that prayer, when rightly analyzed, will appear
sufficient to meet every necessity that men need or are in want
of to bring them to a perfect at-onement with the Father and assure
them of eternal salvation as His Divine children and the partakers
of immortality.
Very soon I will come and give you a full explanation of the Prayer
and its deep and vital truths, so that you may become real possessors
of its full meaning. Tonight I do not think it best for me to write
more, and in closing will say to you and your friends that you must
not become discouraged in the work that you have before you, or
in the work that you are now doing, for I, John, tell you that your
labor is absolutely necessary to make our truths known to humanity,
and there are no others of all the men of earth who have been selected
for this work or can perform it, for none have the qualifications
developed for the rapport which we have established.
So take what I say seriously, and do not let the importance of
the work, or the thought that you are not suited to do the work,
cause you to think that we have made a mistake in our selection,
or that this power that has been given to you is a mere myth and
without reality. The high spirits who are followers of and are led
by the Master have, in following the Master's desire, determined
that you three shall be the ones to start the spread of these great
truths amongst men, and leave behind you helpers who will carry
on the work after you come over to receive the reward of your well-doing.
I am John, and I write with authority, and must be believed.
So with my love to you both, and the blessings of the Father, I
will say goodnight.
John
