Scripture Reading: Luke 16-17

Greetings, dear children of the Light. We have brought you into attunement with the messages that the Master gave to the disciples long ago 60° that later you go back and dwell upon each one for a time and see their significance for today. Each one is as a step upon which you stand, as the soul takes inventory. The parables were cloaks for many great truths. You shall have greater understanding as you pray faithfully and search the portions of your Bible that shall strike you as they never have before. For the spirit in each one who responds is being released and is having a conscious breakthrough. Disciples of this day are trying to make contact with that which was their experience long ago. You are erasing time and coming again into the golden thread

of consecutive life as you walk through the many lifetimes. You are now elimina-

' ting all that which was not of the purpose of the Kingdom of God, collecting again in thought and consciousness all that pertaining to the Kingdom and its growth and development.

That within you contains all your experiences of the past which have carried over in the soul each time. It would change from one body to another, from one plane to another, but now you ere again on course, picking up all the threads that would help you to come into place, into alignment with the Kingdom

¢ of God. That within you is coming into realization. It is for this that you must turn in your prayers and your meditation. Then be sure that you move according to the prompting within, and mow that the Kingdom of God is coming forth. That higher nature is the fourth-dimensional consciousness. The power to take control according to God's laws lies within when you have put down the former self, But it is necessary to seek the Kingdom first, put down the one that the other can live, for then the Father shall bring all into perfect alignment and do the works through you. This is your attainment. As you change within, you come into greater stability--finally being moved into place, as it were. Accept this as a part of the course for the

( disciples and pray increasingly as you go into the everyday world, for the things coming to pass will be of great distraction and great hindrance. It is necessary to step out of involvement with your world, Some can do this more than others, As one steps aside, more and more, from the conditions of the world, he will have a better opportunity to serve in the higher nature--to be. in the world but not of it.

Start unloading now so that when that day comes when you may be on the rooftop and are called to go, you will not be pulled back by much wifinished business or that which would hold because you did not want to let go of your possessionse All these things will be taken away, but while you have them, use then to God's glory as much as you can. However, try to avoid entanglements and involvements that draw you deeply into materiality, You are being prepared to come apart, that the temple of God be free from the entanglements of the world, God provides a way for those of His own when they have trusted Him, Ever

A increasing prayer is needed, Prayer of the humble, trusting soul to the God

within, This shall bring greater faith, greater peace unto you. This is essential to get through these last days. For there will indeed be great changes over the Earth. As the days darken, do you not know that the ones with ulterior motive will use them as a threat over the world to demand all that they want? This next decade shall bring so very much which is hard for you to believe at this time. Your faith must be fortified and the strength of God be increased within you.

We realize that we have repeated much, but you have not believed. It rolls off as something you do not want to believe. You are going to need God's strength welling up in you to help you keep your equilibrium, physically, nentally, spiritually through times to come. Some will be taken out ahead of it. Others will be drawn up in the midst of it. And the worst shall come after. True believers will be drawn up into the skies to meet the Lord and his angels coming to Earth as promised at the divine intervention: celestial ships of glory moving as lightning across the sky, directed by the Lord of Earth, in line with the plan of the Creator, A great drama of Earth, and you see only in part. That is why we bring you reassurance that you shall be preserved. It matters not whether you go on over to the fourth dimension and are preserved or you are in the third dimension and are preserved, but in any case you shall be drawn into the fourth dimensions

God has appointed you trustees of His message. You shall be preserved for greater purpose later, In the meantime you are to gain faith and strength through more prayer, walking in greater humility, having compassion for others, learning patience, patience, patience! As you begin to let these manifest in your life you are living the attributes of God, for these are all of the Godnature. And greater wisdom shall come. Let the Lord lead you. Stand still once in a while and ask the question, "Which one is leading now?" Then be still and know. Walk this path in new ways, for you are passing through another initiation which is taking you into new phases in your journey of the soul. You do not have to understand all as you go but have faith in the one that brought it forth and move with it in great love, desiring only to follow your Lord, He is the door through which you enter. You have increased a great deal in your faith and development. We would encourage you and give you inspiration from time to time through thought transference, In many ways you are being helped. This should give you reassurance and a feeling of great thanksgiving that God's laws manifest this way y Let not your hearts be troubled; rather be alert and watching with faith, deep abiding faith, and know that although you cannot see the entire picture, your God is preparing the way, leading you in spite of that blindness, It is God's love that shall overrule your fear. Learn to experience His love and to feel the presence of the Lord with you. Let the nature, the mind that is in Jesus, the Christ, be also in you, for you were begotten of the Father in that likeness. Give consent; surrender your old ways unto the new ways of the Spirit. Be broken in will, but raised up in God's will, part of the perfect plan for His Creation. Move with the tide of the great cosmic energies. Feel yourself moving into that Light, moving with the harmony of all the energies of life. More and more shall you lose sight of self and be occupied with attaining that.

Visualize, just as the child visualizes the man that he would grow into, Visuelize the loving nature of the Christ: the power of the Christ in action, united with the Father within. Rejoice and give thanks that tho Kingdom of God is within you! And rejoice that you have every opportunity and probability of growing up in that nature, because that is what God sent forth. He did not send it out in vain, but He waits upon you to wait upon Him, waits for you to

choose His Will rather than your own: your choice and then your dedication to hold true to that choice. A

Many are yet on probation. They approach; they declare their intent; they believe they would like to follow the way of the Lord if it does not become too difficult nor change their lives too much. So they go along for 4 time. Then they object. When they run into a low ceiling, they will not give up certain things that are dear to them, thus rising above the low ceiling. Or they begin to slide into other distractions that are more exciting. The first thing you know, they have forgotten that they have made a covenant with their Lord and they turn to easier, more stimulating, more entertaining ways. Then there are . others so determined to do the Lord's work that they rush way ahead of Him, making plans on their own, and then they wonder why they fall by the wayside. As you learn to sit patiently waiting upon the Lord, He shall begin to show you vhat : areas you can be helpful in, what you can do to further His message before it is too late. Then you will follow through in every way possible, to see that you do not negloct the furthering of any part of His work that shall reach unto souls standing by the water who are not yet drinking.

These messages which have been brought forth for so long shall be @s an oasis in the desert for those thirsting for the Waters of Life and for the seeds that are scattered throughout. Many have fallen on fertile ground and are starting a new crop that shall be harvested in a later Age. Those who are on the edge, ready now to step forth into new understanding and to participate in the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth are listening within so as to obey the Father and be ready to help in any way the preparation of those citizens who shall enter the new Kingdom. God will give further instructions at a later time. But the curiosity of the human mind and nature will cause many to want to know all the details of the coming Kingdom before they have given up their will so that they may enter that Kingdom. They must first surrender unto God alone, completely, with no reservations, Then He will begin to give them more instruction, in a flash bring them illumination. And they shall no longer want any part of the fast-dying world kingdom,

Yes, you are being talked out of one kingdom and into another. Call it “influence” if you will. But you have already made a choice and the Lord chose you to follow as His disciples because you made that choice. And you are given instruction. The more that you read the past lessons, the more you shall see that you did not see at your first reading or in hearing the tape. The vibrations now will feed you because you are open wider than you were before. You are gaining on it, you are making progress, but you must have pure motives and be constant in your desire and focus. Thus, greater enlightenment shall come. The Spirit of God that shell bring all into completion so that you are ready to be drawn up to the heavens.

Of those who are still here in the physical body some will be removed before then. And yet preparation is needed in either case, so you are not wasting your time to read your Scriptures, to pray unto God and to wait for Him to reveal His nature to you, within you. You will begin to feel at ease in that nature. Ever seek greater love in your heart, and yet not with force but with prayer that God release it in you, for the Kingdom of God is within you. God is loves; it is indwelling in you. Make contact. Unite with that and step up into your higher nature and know who you are. Jesus knew his identity and was great love. He was meekness expressed, and yet he was firm in the conviction that he must be about his Father's business. And he was firm in taking authority when those of darlmess tried to interfere with the Father's business. He was not week. He came forth in strength because the Father's strength was in him. Whon

Page 211

it was a matter of principle, he was firm in his action and his stand; he took authority in the higher nature.

The most difficult part for you is to be patient, to be still, to be meek, putting down the human will, and yet rising up and taking authority in the higher will. We realize this is confusing to you. It is hard for you to know the difference between them. Pray for more help with this. For that is the desire of your hearts. The desire shall bring the wisdom to discern. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Even if you do not see it, believe it, for your Lord went before you as an example and he gave unto you the assurance that this would take place in you.

We repeat slowly, for we are sending this concept in Light into your being, riding upon the wave of the vibration of the Word. But while we are waiting for the Word to sink in we are penetrating your cells of intelligence and life, "bombarding" them with concepts of reality, hoping that one day you will see--an illumination. We are letting this sink into your minds and yet we are sending forth the light vibrations, the truth of the concept, that it sink into your souls. So we are feeding you in two ways. So you trust us and offer us the opportunity, even though you do not understand just how this is done. You have not the comprehension for all these details, so it is better that you do not know all now. The more you know consciously the more you become more confused until the time comes that you can know in the fullness.

And so we work with you as you open to receive and accept, for that which we bring is first of the Lord, and we channel it through by fusing with the consciousness of the soul of our channel. The waves and vibrations of sound come through the voice box and enter by impulses into your mind. The strengthening of the soul-body is taking place, and concepts are moving into it. This light brings you greater understanding to the soul and it is rising to the surface of the waters of the consciousness, breaking through. Then you say, "I remember! Oh yes, I understand this." A new light dawns. And you have had another breakthrough of light. You are truly going up the steps. The farther you go the greater the need for prayer. You are as little children, growing, moving through each phase toward maturity. Angels were giving the soul milk for a time; then the fruits of the spirit began to appear. Now your souls are receiving the meat of the body of the composite Christ, that of his nature, the very light energies of creative force--God power. This is the "body" that the Master spoke of. You must partake of that. He has expanded in consciousness and drawn you unto himself; now you must feed on that nature, on that energy. Be strong in your convictions and the Spirit of God within you shall bring it about. Remember: you desire, you give over self, you lay down your will; seek first the Kingdom of God and the Father shall do the works through you. And you shall be raised up to perfect fulfillment, you shall be the finished product--that of the Christ nature receiving its crown of glory. In other words, the projected or the begotten, sent forth of the Father, comes into its fullness, expressing the Father's will, the Father doing the works through this union of consciousness. Surrender and unite with Him. Accept that which the Father does through you.

It is time now for going often into the "upper room" with the Master, to realize that within, to prepare for the Kingdom. Even as the Master Jesus as the small boy helped in his father's carpentry shop. He was helping to cut and carve and build to exact measurement that which the plan called for. This was symbolic of the Great Workshop in which he was to move, as he went about his Father's business. He was to be the shepherd of the flock, to work toward the molding and shaping by drawing all that the Father had given unto him into his consciousness, uniting them as one, that they be brought into exact shape, into

Page 212

completion. You will know when this power moves through you and will then take action. Be obedient unto the promptings of Spirit. Practice will enable you to tell the difference. Be not afraid, Walk through the pastures of your Lord and he shall set you straight on course.

We have given so many truths, volumes and volumes of messages brought through in love to the disciples of Jesus--his friends, the citizens of the new Kingdom. The Master has preserved so much for you throughout the 9geS+ Now the Spirit is being poured out over the Earth and new revelations are being given. Bless you for being a powerful vortex, : selves that you be the vessel through which God's Spirit works. The vessel is filled, the cup rumeth over and your Lord moves jn your midst. The shepherd is where the flock is. The flock that know its need of the shepherd and holds its focus true will one day see, face-to-face, the glorious Light of truth.

for giving of your time and your

My children, I am with you until the end. Trust in the plan of your Father in Heaven and believe in the shepherd who leads you. In his plan the will ofthe Father shall be done. Go forth in greater light and greater love, for the Spirit of God is working within you. Love will cast out fear. My peace shall be yours.

So be it, beloveds. Our Lord has spoken. Let it be well with thee. The time draws near when the Barth shall be shaken and all upon it. Seek now (« the refuge within, the indwelling Spirit of God, and rise up and follow His word.

Beloveds, send forth this light while there is such power.
