Scripture Reading: II Corinthians: 20-25 (Je Be Phillips)
Blessings be unto you, beloveds. We are keeping in close attunement with you, for the sessions being so often and close together, and the meditation and prayer from this point keeps an open door so that we may readily attune with you. You have come apart from the world, as such, leaving that of the material behind you. “You come into the garden of refreshment, of spiritual lifting, and as you come together in collective consciousness, offering it unto God, this vortex intensifies light energies and power. This makes for perfect’ attunement and blessings of Heaven shall be yours
We have spoken to you on a variety of subjects, and- yet first and foremost we are reminding you that you are ‘the disciples of your Lord) this day, and you are following through with that which began long ago. You are the harvest of that crop planted 2000 years ago--that which your Lord and Master began to sow jn the fertile field. Through the years, through many incarnations, he has raised you up through his love and power. Now you are the graduating class of this harvest age. There are many of the remnant on Earth--the remnant spoken of jn your Holy Writings--those who would endure unto the.end of this great age. You are to be part of that millennial reign coming to pass in the Age of Light, this next ‘turn of the century. As the tribulations take place through the end of this century, you have few years left to make ready and be acceptable, in every way, to your Lord. You have been chosen to follow through with that which you yourselves elected to do. You have been accepted for that assignment, and yet the growing is becoming more painful because you are coming closer to your goal. You have many hardships and trials to face in this last incarnation of the age so that you can step off the wheel of birth and rebirth and go into the state prepared for you that will be a true resurrection. Above all things pray that the kingdom come quickly, that all needs be met at one time, and the life of abundance shall be given you--all things be added unto you.
We have brought in the Bible passages to help clarify your understanding of the approaching ships--the celestial ships coming in your skies. They have been waiting until it dawned on your consciousness that they are part of the divine intervention. They wait until the day when, at the Lord's command, all shall descend at once, for the time when you shall be lifted up into the clouds to meet Him and be preserved in the celestial ships--the Ark of your day--until the Earth stabilizes from the various cataolysms. We have tried to allay your fears, to give you strength and courage to meet all that is coming and to keep your focus on that higher Kingdom. This should bring joy to your hearts! When you see that into which you are moving you will not so greatly regret that which you are leaving, or that which shall crumble before your eyes. For we have told you many times that while God created all, it was Lucifer who, in self-will, brought forth the chaos. You came under that influence and helped to produce mores This is the false system, the false kingdom that will have to fall. Out of the ashes shall come forth the new, and order shall be restored upon Barth
Page 107The very Earth shall shake with the cataclysms which are to come, but as always, God's mercy provides for those who serve His purposes and His will. This is for the ultimate good of those working in the Father's plan, those who have humbled themselves and have chosen to be a part of His plan, chosen to allow His will to direct rather than the human will, And so you are among those who are called the remnant, those who, with faith and prayer, have endured unto this day» Thus you are being madesready to.enter into the Kingdom.of Spirit, the kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The veil is becoming increasingly thinner between dimensions. One day you shall have no dirficulty seeing into the fourth dimension, because the rate of vibration in the atoms of the cells of your being are being speeded up, and as you move into the greater frequency of Light, your eyes will. be opened more and mores
You may be surprised with the more recent changes, and our references to the early churches in your Holy Writings, but we know of no other way to convince you of. the reality of your identity. As the soul remembrance is brought to the surface there isoa break-through into the outer consciousness. You finally grasp the idea; the concept takes on new meaning for you. You are fulfilling the Father's plan--the begotten sent forth in His image to be raised up unto Christhood--following the one who first became Christ, head of the entire body, of His true church. Thus in carrying you back it is almost like regression.
First) we carried you,: if you will remember, back, back to, Adam in the garden, to the point’ of divergence. Spiritual man was functioning in this planet under God's laws’, taking dominion, raising up the consciousness of the earth races and the animal kingdoms.. But) when the divergence came he used his free will and chose to enter the dream state where the self would draw power unto itself for self gratification--moving away from the God-center.
Then your Lord returned unto Earth. He was bringing the focus back to the true Center, turning attention to the Kingdom of God within. Those that had. eyes to see and ears to hear followed Him in this concept, even though they did not have full understendings They believed that the power of God was available in each, and began:to live as though they believed it. That is what we have been urging you to do more and mores You are, toa great extent, but there must be more effectiveness, and there willbe as we help you to identify yourselves with Adam end with the children of Israel, the lost tribes of Israel dispersed over the earth, who lost their identity, forgetting that they.were the sons of God.
All this has happened to you, and with your awakening. you come back into a great realization of much of this. You know now; you have been called to remember that you are, literally,.sons of God strayed from the Father. You were of the house of Israel--that great house of those sent forth, begotten in God's image, to cover the earth. Though they forgot their identity and were separated from one another, still. at the end of the age, all things were to be brought to remembrance; they would: remember their true identities.
So.you are to identify with that. .You know to a great degree who you are, the home you left--the cosmic realms to which you will return after you have finished your commission, During the thousand~year millennium, as you. work in the restoration of this kingdom--new heavens and new Earth--then shall come
-your second resurrection. Sut, while this is taking place, we, must constantly ind you and remind you until you actually identify with the part and remember it. Naturelly, the mortal mind would say, "Why so much repetition?” It would say that this sounds like preaching. Beloveds, we are only following our Lord, and your Lord, and what He gave was the reality of Life Eternal for the {individual soul. No matter what you call it, it is time now for you to return to it, to choose your kingdom consciously, as your souls have chosen to go into the
Page 108Kingdom of God. As we call you to identify more and more with that which you were then, that which you are now, you are being prepared, are working toward the attainment of the perfect being which God shall raise up in the Christ nature of you, the divine nature that takes dominion. Then shall you reach the point where you will be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and lifted to meet Him in the clouds while the greater tribulation is completed. Lucifer shall be bound for the thousand years, and you shall come back and serve on Earth in His Kingdom.
There is so much that you must realize before these few years are past, for you will not take part in the great day of judgment that is for Lucifer and those that have chosen his way. But you will have a certain amount of tribulation, and you are to be fortified now, that you be able to help those who are weak,who have not yet gained enough strength in their souls, yet who desire to be a part of their Lord's Kingdom. Always are there those who go before as the pioneers or explorers, You are of that group which has offered to serve.
Many are confused and think that this means they must immediately go out into some church or some group and become an officers While there has been a place for this in the past there is not much time left. This is no longer so important, for many of man's systems and organizations which he himself has called "church" will fold, and God's true Church will be completed, will be raised up to serve Him in the Divine Plan. Thus, while we do not deny that there is certainly some work being done on Earth that shall further God's purposes, this will be secondary to the greater work He shall give you to do. You are now being conditioned, even as your astronauts are conditioned before they orbit the Earth. We work with many things--your endocrine glands--the chemical balance and the equalizing of the power and energies within your being. We help fortify your souls, ever strengthening and feeding.
Did not Jesus say unto Peter, “Do you love Me? Then feed my sheep !" The feeding has been going on, but now there is a need for even greater feeding, for in order to meet what io coming you must become strong in the power of the Lord. Those who have not yet decided which side of the fence they shall be on are not going to be strong enough to lead the way. The Shepherd is the great wayshower, and he shall return to take the government of the Earth upon his shoulders. He shall lead the way, bringing you back to Earth when the stabilizing has taken place after the comet side-swipes the planet, shifting the poles and burning one-third of the Eerth's surface. After this the Lord shall return with his host and with those he has gathered into the clouds with him, and set up the new Kingdom on Earth, If this Kingdom is to be by the year 2000, do you not see how much has to take place in these last thirty-three years? And this with the greater part of it at the end of the century.
Tho part you are concerned with now is the first half of this remainder. Many will go before then, but whichever way your Lord calls, you must be prepared for that to which He calls you. There will not be time then for more preparation; it is now that the preparation is taking place in many ways. We have given-you much of this before, and we continue to work with yous guardians walk by your sides minister ing unto you as He would have them do. They are unknown to your consciousness many times for you would not understand and the curiosity of your minds would cause interference. But within, your hearts are being transformed. You are to be alert to certain attitudes; be in prayer and meditation more and more. Make more time for this.
Come ye apart. from the world until finally you can obey your Lord, turn loose and be no longer earth-bound. ‘Many would obey their Lord today if he met their conditions. It is for you to meet his conditions: give up self and bring all your affairs into order as quickly as you can. Have no panic, no fear, but in orderly fashion trust your Lord. This is the common sense that God gave
Page 109Aah it is His divine intelligence moving in you. You have innate wisdom in you when you keep still long enough to let it come through so that you do not become impulsive and jump ahead.
; It is one thing to be prepared to be lifted up into the skies to the celestial ships at His command; it is another to fulfill the many requirements that He gave you long ago. "If ye abide in Me," he said, "and my words abide in you, then ye shall ask anything and it shall be done unto you." Search your souls as to how closely you~have met that requirement. Your sincerity is there, your motives are true, and you are praying for greater guidance. Your souls are brightly shining, for you are children of Light. You are progressing towards that, but as you attain a higher consciousness and learn to control and maintain it, then shall you be in the Christ name and nature in which you can ask anything, for you shall be asking in wisdom and power. But when you function in the lower self you cannot claim the promises of the higher.
You must move into that higher nature, the divine nature which is God-centered. You then know God's desires so that in everything you do you quickly say, "Let Godts will be de,” and mean it. We know this is your aim; we are trying to help you to remember to make it more constant. It behooves those who have many times been turned away from anything that sounds "ohurchy", to tear down all barriers and be the true Church of their Lord, for the time is drawing near.
Draw aside from many of the world systems. It will do no good to be involved in politics, for all this is of the world system. Pray that Light fill these areas and that your Lord come quickly to govern your Earth. That is better than any election you can have. Come apart from the mobs, strikes, all of this that is rampant in. the world. lucifer is moving through in a. death struggle, trying to divert those who would follow their Lord, trying to sustain his false kingdom which is fast falling away. You must be on guard even against the infiltration of your educational systems, of many of your. organized churches which are splitting wide open, Those who think they can come together in one organized church are mistaken, The true Church is of the Lord and not of man's doing, but man's desire and opening enables the indwelling spirit to lift, him into the higher realms.
Your tribulations now, which shall become greater, are certainly your carrying of the cross up the hill to Golgotha--the results of cause and effect. This experience of your personal Gethsemane, and then the cross, is parallel to that of the Master in that you are finally putting down the human self that if ye be of the Christ, the true and eternal self shall live.
There are groups over the world who were drawn together many years ago; many stimulated by the excitement of phenomena, such as the coming of the space ships. Some had one motive and some had another. There is not to be the excitement caused by sensationalism. There must be a deep realization of the underlying spiritual purposes. Many fall by the wayside, but others with true soul purpose and motives are drawing apart from many of these groups and are forming small circles in the homes for prayer and union with their God. Jesus preached the gospel of union of the son with the Father, becoming one with His will. This is what these small. groups are doing. They come together in meekness and in prayer--true prayer--the soul opening and desiring that God's will be done, Each with this purpose is moving into reality, and when he sees ships in the skies he understands their meaning, knows there is greater purpose. He shall then be attuned to those who come under God's law, in divine intervention.
Yes, there are counterparts in all things--false prophots, false christs, false ships, but if your desire and motives are true, these will have nothing to do with you, for like attracts like, You will be drawn up into that
Page 110frequency of Light which corresponds to the frequency of light in you. Many are being worked with now and are prepared for this very thing, but it is only the outward manifestation in that Day which shall come quickly, for the preparation has been taking place all along. Those of you who have given your lives unto God's Service are sacrificing even more, giving up things that you never would have thought about before, for you are seriously about your Father's business, This is & great age in which you live, for you shall see the passing of the old and the Coming of the new. By seeing the contrast it shall remain in your memories so that you never turn back, for when Lucifer is loosed after the thousand years of Suspension he shall again make another attempt and shall again offer his world pattern to those naive enough to follow. He is not yet convinced! Thus many who have not chosen correctly this time will have other opportunities, and there will be more sifting and more sifting until.all have come into a harvest age in due Season. God's mercy extends unto all and His patience is without limit. Eternity provides the opportunity forall stages of unfoldment, each in its turn.
We have given you reassurance many times because you are faithfully remaining at your task, using this vortex to become an amplifier through which we may send. this message out to the world, and you are going up the steps. When you feel you have gone as far as you can go, He shall take hold, give you new strength, and your new life shall begin. This is your hope. It cannot be described to you, exactly, for it will be in the higher dimension and nothing in your dimension compares with it. That is why we use something familiar to you and draw parallels, just as the Lord spoke in parables so many times, using the familiar for those of his day. When the prophets and the disciples received visions, of that which was to come they could not draw comparisons. They could not describe such things as automobiles and jet. planes, for’ they only had vhat was in their day. Thus you find some of the strange+sounding descriptions: "chariots of fire in the sky," or "monsters sending out smoke", What would you call your fighter planes, atom bombs and many things of war? "Monsters" they are indeed! There was not then the descriptive terminology and their prophecies were not for their days This was preserved unto you so that you, knowing what you have in your day, would read the signs. When you see these signs coming to pass, lift up your heads, lift up your eyes, for your redemption draweth nigh.
You are the ones who shall be raised up. Among the many there may be a few of the remnant, here and there, who shall pass through the portals called "death". Those who have gone before shall be raised up first and the rest shall be drawn after. This is not too far away. Wo one knows the exact day, but the cycles and the seasons and the watches of the night are coming to pass, and the dawning sun is not far off, Trust’ in the wisdom of the Father. He knows His perfect plan for His creation, for you. Trust until you are illumined enough to have that plan revealed to you, though it be glimpse by glimpse. Show your willingness to obey what you see and know now; then you shall be given more.
This, as well as being a preparation period, is a probation period, Do the attitudes of the heart bring resentment--bitterness, injured pride--or do they bring ever-increasing love and forgiveness? ‘Let each day be as though it were your last in this incarnation. Forgive all, pray for the discernment to recognize true from false--the discernment to separate the essential things from the non-essential. Begin to reduce your affairs and everything in your home so that you are not cluttered in body, mind and soul. When your Lord calls you into greater action for Him, you cannot be so tied down that you camot turn loose,
Be not under great obligations and commitments. Your soul integrity would make you finish that which you had started. Be careful what you start. Will it bina you, suspend you, cause you to be earthbound? Cause you to be a little too long and too late?
Page 111Be ready so that when your Lord says, "Turn loose!’ you will follow him. Remember this warning. If you are upon the housetop when the call comes, do not even turn back for your clothes but' go in obedience to your Lord. There will be no time to wastes Do not take time to grieve for others; God's compassion is far greater than yours. He will take care of others, whether it be at that moment, or whether He preserve them for the next cycle. He cares for all. One certainly may have compassion, pray and send light and sustaining to all souls, but it is God's business what He does with each one.
Those coming often together in prayer in His name are a sustaining, one for the other. It was only that when this was done in hypocrisy, through the ages, that many were turned away from this. When it is genuine prayer from the heart--meditation--sitting and listening, waiting upon the Lord, then you are becoming attuned to the inborm communication system which was given you in that nature. He made it and gave it; He will speak through it. Practice, turn to your Lord. You do not have to go-to classes to learn to develop extrasensory perception or to learn hypnotism; turn within. If your hearts are pure He will bring all things to remembrance and will cleanse and remove that which needs to be removed. ‘These are the most important things now.
There.are those who have become suspended in much psychic phenomena or things of the lower astral realm,’or even thé phenomena of the ships. These things are secondary. Put your Lord first, then your attunement with the Infinite will open the door, reveal the plan. This is your connection. You do not get it through another, though there is certainly sustaining, assistance of one another through love and union of hearts and souls moving in the same direction, all of one flock being led by the Shepherd. But your God dwells within. In reality it is God Who shall sustain you, shall give you confidence and strength in the knowledge of Him. These are essential to you in these last days. Nothing else shall hold, nothing shall remain permanont, nothing shall be secure except the Lord God within you. Come into the reality of this contact; then all things shall be added unto you--your needs mot--and you shall move into the Kingdom, that which shall be light and joy unto your souls.
When you have established that communication He shall then direct you, and it shall come easily, just as Adam walked and talked with the Lord in the Garden of Paradise in the fourth dimension. You have not understood; you have been as confused children. But God knows your hearts and shall care for you, in spite of all. Come apart from the noises of the world while you yet have time and practice being still, utterly still, forgetting self, being one with the Cosmic. Then God shall move through you. The Father doeth the works through the son just as He did through Jesus, He shall do even greater works because He shall accomplish all through each one and all of His sons that offer themselves unto Him. God does not fail; God shall not leave the plan incomplete. It is for you to put self out of the way and surrender to His will. The Spirit shall yield the increase and the power shall be great.
Come apart from that in the world which shall crumble. Maintain a palence of energies in you. Allow the soul to take dominion, control the mind and emotions of the mortal and let the divine mind of God mmifest in yous. As you come into this realization, you will not so much do something as stop interfering. Know this to be the living reality and suddenly you shall be illumined. It shall come; God keeps His promises, and man is to be raised unto the highest nature of the begotten son, into Christhood, one with the Father, prepared to govern His worlds. f
You cannot measure nor judge this by the things you see in the human counterpart nor by the shortcomings of tho finite mind. This is of spirit, in the soul being nourished and raised up. You will no longer look to the finite mind,
Page 112but it shall be tho Christ nature in you that shall review the parade as it passes by--the memories of soul experi ences through many incarnations. The Christ in you shall be the judge, and according to the way that you have judged others or forgiven others, that same judgmont shall be reserved for you. Be loving, be forgiving, and yet be not too involved with your neighbor's affairs. Love his Soul, send light and love, and yet do not get into the mixture of human involvement. This is where many fail in that which they begin. They are confused as to which is which.
Do not meddle with your noighbors! affairs. Do not meddle with their lives. Each one must know what is best in them, for them. If he is truly God-centered, he will begin to got direction and will know the best thing for him to eat or the right thing to do that day--what to put first. But they do not know for another. Each is individual unto God, and God has given a system of direction within each where they may make contact within, truly desiring that God show them. Many will ask verbally and then be watchful for something that does not suit them. They cast this out ard then the communication ceases. But if they truly desire God's will to direct them, and they listen and obey, commmication shall come to them more and mores
Your spirits within are renewing your souls, and your soul bodies are growing into the likeness of Him, for that is the nature within. And you, the temple, must be more willing to put down the former self. Already you are showing great changes--greater love, greater humility, greater ability to come together as one in His name and purpose. To the extent that you do this you are glorifying the Father, and this shall increase because of your willingness, the desires of your hearts, your genuine sincerity. You are on your way. May we en-courage you, beloveds. Be not too concerned about some of your shortcomings, for these will go with the human nature. The divine nature will stand forth radiant, because of your soul's desire to take dominion and control the body and the environment. You are no longer victims of circumstance, for the power of the Lord, in you, transcends all circumstancee You can bring order into every situation by careful prayer and action.
We will continue to work with you, and as your souls take flight tonight, while your bodies rest they shall be drawn into the ships, and we shall revitalize and strengthen the etherisc bodies more and more. The spirit within you functions as the union takes place--soul united with spirit--son with Father, becoming integrated as ones But until then it has been requested that many minister unto you in the process; we are getting souls accustomed to coming to the ship so that whon the time comes they shall know to which ship they are being drawn. You will marvel at the knowing that comes to you then, for there shall be an instanteneous breakthrough into the outer consciousness. You might say that then you will know on the outside what you have known on the inside. More and more this is breaking through, more quickly for some than others, for some cannot remove the blocks or interference as yet. But the souls know and are going forth in preparation, in joy and expectancy of God's Kingdom soon to be manifesting more fully.
Peace be with you as you surrender to His will. This is the only peace there is. This is the only way to obtain its thus it is difficult for those who have not given themselves over, because it only comes with acquiesconce to the Father's will. You have surrendered your lives and yourselves. Remind yourselves to put down self daily and you shall go forward in His name. You shall know that peace. Bless you. Selahe
Page 113So be it! Let that power within you, within the midst of the circle, be sent forth in tho Christ tiame and directed for purposes of healing-- light restoring, renewinge Send it forth to places of need in individuals or situations, or over the Earth. Let that Light go forth through the instrumentality of you as the Father within doeth the works, sending it through the vessel that has offered. Direct it forth consciously in His name and it shall bring results, wherever it is sent. Learn to take control, take dominion as the
Father directs you, and it shall increase in power as you send it forth in great love. Selah
