Dear God, If I’m in condition to channel a message from Your ministering angels, I’d like to be of service to you in this way. I pray for a great inflowing of Your Divine Love at this time. I want to know the truth. Please help me put aside my forethoughts so I may channel the angels’ message clearly and without interference. I love You and appreciate this opportunity I’m being given to help others and myself in our spiritual growth. AMEN

 

Thank you for responding to our desires to channel our thoughts in writing on this fine day. We have been waiting for you to be willing to sit for a message. As we have said on many occasions, there is much we desire to say to God’s children who are seeking earnestly to come closer to Him in His Nature of Love. We are aware that humankind is generally caught up in the daily grind, so-to-speak, which does not allow enough energy or desire to seek outside the general flow of life’s vicissitudes to find the blessings promised by a Loving Creator. People often feel helpless to change their status quo; they think it requires more effort on their part, more concentration, more learning, and they are at a loss as to how they will be able to pull more out of themselves than they are already doing.

But the message is that they need to learn to relax and trust in the Powers that Be to bring them up to higher levels of awareness, that they can’t get there through their own efforts. It’s like the harder one tries the further behind he gets because the way to spiritual enlightenment and growth is surrendering to God’s will and that requires “muscles” most people have not learned how to use yet. Developing spiritual muscles entails looking within to find peacefulness – prayer and meditation are the rule-for-the-day, learning to commune with your Loving Creator and learning to trust that God Loves you and wants you to be happy and fulfilled.

The happiness and fulfillment that God has in store for His children doesn’t come with material possessions, it is a joyfulness that comes only with love. The peacefulness people are seeking will not be found in fighting over a piece of land, and it still will not be obtained if or when they have all the land they think they need to make them happy.

In order to follow your heart’s desires, it is done the way the phrase implies: through seeking with your heart. Surrender your control over things; know that spiritual fulfillment comes through Love. Accept yourself as a child of a Loving Parent and great joy will be in store for you as you seek with sincerity to become the person God created you to be.

The only thing which makes this complicated for you is that you believe it is up to you to carve out your place in the world and prove that you are worthy of these blessings. You are worthy of God’s blessings when you are born; you can receive these blessings by simply accepting them and looking to the Source for your sustenance, guidance, and upliftment of spirit.

Because you know that you are soul, then you can clearly see the need to develop your awareness of your spiritual nature and what it takes to develop the same. Your soul does not develop its “muscles” when your body does, for example. Spiritual strength requires material surrender and faith in the power of God’s Love to help raise your consciousness. There is strength in spirit. There is power in Love to change even the material aspect of your beings. In fact, you cannot change the material aspect without first changing the spiritual and bringing it into alignment with the laws which govern the higher purpose of your being – your soul, as a child of a Loving Creator.

We do understand that life in the flesh and predominately material world requires lots of energy and focus on things that you feel are important, but where you often fail is to acknowledge that if you would put at least half of your time and energy into prayer and recognize that you are a spiritual being, the power and peace which would then flow from your inner energy would bless your material lives in much greater proportion than half. The intent of this message is to help you want to stop dwelling in the material and stop thinking that it is up to you alone to get things done, to make things work out to your advantage through physical effort. The effort that is more effective in bringing peace and joy into your life is your effort to become the loving soul God created you to become.

It perhaps sounds too simplistic for you to believe it will work, especially since you have believed in accomplishment through work ethics, but I can assure you that if you will discipline yourselves to trust God to guide you and know that your strength lies in your surrender to His will, you will be pleasantly surprised the way your life experiences will unfold in peaceful and joyous ways.

I don’t believe that I have introduced any new concepts in this channeling, but I implore you to put these principles into practice on a more regular basis so you can prove to yourselves that they indeed will work in your behalf.

I will leave you now with my blessings and thank you for allowing me to convey my thoughts through you this morning.

I am your friend and brother in Christ and Jesus’ brother, James, one of your guardians, who has been given the privilege to serve my Loving Father by showing His children the Way toward at-Onement with Him.

He blesses all of us with His Love, it is up to each of us to accept this Gift with open arms and heart and receive the blessings He wants to share with His children. Amen.
