HAVE I not told you that I come
unto you as ye invite me? have I not told you that I instruct you as ye attain to greater merit?
This hour I instruct you further in heavenly doctrine, that the truth may
engulf you and lift you to mastership. . . .
Verily men do have a humor to know
that which is withheld from them; they come unto me saying, Michael, we are
progressing in Thy name and know not the progress; we are prophesying in Thy
name and know not the prophecies; we are testifying unto Thee but our roles are
sealed unto us; whereof is our distinction if men know not our importance?
I say unto them, the roles that ye
fill are important as ye do make them of importance; the prophecies ye prophesy
are true as ye pursue them unto substance. To none is it given to prophesy of
eternal things except him who is come from me and out of my side; behold the
wisdom is spoken by members of my family, from my plane and function. They say unto me, we have
heard it uttered that he who would prophesy of Thee must have clean hands and a
pure heart, giving himself not to iniquity at any time;
Lo, we have kept the faith, we have
tried to keep our purity, we have sought no false gods, we have been constant
in our attentions upon Thee: wherefore then are we not prophets? I say unto them, It is pleasing
unto me that ye have kept the faith, it is pleasing unto me that ye have dwelt
in purity, pursuing no false ideals, making no abominations, preaching no false
doctrines;
But I demand more from you than
this before I do make you my prophets in truth: I demand that ye do go through
lives without number, preparing yourselves as instructors by long suffering
until your characters are attestments of the wonders of your prophecies.
They say unto me, Michael, what hath
that to do with Thy work? have we not kept the faith and is that not
attestment? have we not been constant in our attendance on Thee and is that not
a witness to our purity of conscience?
I say unto them, Verily of a kind,
but not enough: I seek those who have paid for their wisdom with a price, I
seek those who have given themselves over countless generations to be my
servants, who have dwelt with me and walked with me in person through many
lands and times, I seek those who have walked upright through great shadowlands
of doubt, error, and obstruction;
I disdain not your faith, I
disparage not your loyalty, I mock not your experience or attendance upon me;
but those who do minister unto me before the nations must be those who have
proven themselves to be of a high, high order of intelligent spirituality; lo,
unto these I give much, for I know that they will use it aright again, verily
as they have used it in times that are memories.
There are those in the earth,
tilling it in mine honor, who have no knowledge of themselves as prophets,
neither have they knowledge of myself as master; they go and come in the market
places and in the vineyards as scribes and pharisees among men without
knowledge of their identities as sons of Light;
Verily is it true that they are
angels of a sort, sent earthward as messengers against your transgression in
due order; and yet I say more: There are those who test you
constantly, not from a malice but ever for your good, which I presently
explain, knowing that ye do have need of it.
There are those on planes of earth
who have manifested unto me in many ages, not as men and women but as Radiant
Ones; they have come and gone in your lives of the present as servants of mine,
messengers and ministers in flesh, making you to see the earth after its nature
as an abiding place for the children of men. My beloved, hear my voice: that
which cometh unto you is sent of me to school you for your vaster trials ahead.
Great indeed will be your
crucifixion of spirit as time progresseth; great indeed will be your trials
with weaker natures surrounding you on every hand, even as they did surround me
and did mock me when I would do them most good. Know that ye will be laughed at, and mocked, ridiculed in public and by others, yet do know that I celebrate thee and honor thee for thine trials and tribulations, for thine efforts in My behalf, and for the energies ye have dispensed with pure intent to act upon thine freedom for thyself and all others.
Learn of me and be comforted: the
enemy assaileth bitterly; he lieth in wait as a lion, as a wolf, as a fox, yea
even as a weasel and a snake in the grass; he rendeth you cruelly; but if ye do have strength of me,
he cannot overcome you; I speak as one who hath lived many lives in flesh.
Ye have heard it said that man
goeth to his long home. Verily he goeth not willingly, in that he seeth no
reason for the journeying; he hath no purpose clear before him, therefore he
shrinketh from contact with Eternity.
Know that I have come to him to
encourage him by giving him sustenance in idealism. He hath said unto himself, the
things of eternity are unpleasant in that they are unknown; verily he hath a
humor in this, and of it he will know presently. I say that ye do have missions to
instruct him in that idealism which I have set before him.
Beloved, be advised: there are in
flesh certain entities who are messengers of mine sent by the Host to do you
good; they have one thought only, to execute my will; Such will compriseth this
instruction: that ye shall be protected physically and mentally from too great
trial having as its essence the undoing of your natures.
By this I mean that they are
instructed to give you sustenance whenever circumstance rideth you unto
unbearableness. Some who protect you are not in
flesh, they are not seen of mortal eye; others may inhabit the bodies of your
dearest friends, not aware of their own identities as I have told you, only
that they are of service when the time cometh for service in the proper instance.
Ye have entertained angels unawares
indeed! No miracles have proclaimed them,
for that would be a form of trickery, and in my work there is no such trickery possible. Dwell on this, beloved. There are those about you who have
come to earth to prosecute my plan with you; they are human only in their
bodies; Bear with those bodies, tolerate
those physical weaknesses which result in misgivings and misinterpretations of
motives;
Be strong in leadership, beloved;
know that I sustain you and those with you; I come unto them in ways that ye
know not. Beloved, I instruct you in this
guise: ye have entertained angels unawares; continue so to entertain them in my
name. I say unto you, the future hath no
greater mystery in its folds than this, that knowledge of yourselves is your
shield of power; live up to that shield a thousand times, I adjure you,
then live it once again.
Concerning things spiritual I have
said often, ye must be born as little children to inherit the Kingdom, children
not as infants but as progenitors of simple understandings of phenomena that
vex the worldly cautious.
Hear my voice, beloved; give heed
unto my counsel: the world expecteth more of you than of all others whom ye
serve; to you the Host looketh as my servants, perfect in stature, divine in
understanding, strong in tolerance, beauteous in patience, excellent in
service, and beloved of men for the light which shineth from you.
I adjure you from a great
understanding to be calm amongst yourselves, knowing that the work hath vital
need of all of you else ye would not be accredited to it. I tell you angels are about you, in
and out of flesh, that ye do meet and talk with them daily, that they do serve
you at my behest, that they come back to me with report of your zeal.
In that ye serve, ye are served,
my beloved!
Harken to my voice; give heed unto
mine instruction; be wise above your generation; I say that I care for you
through my minions of Light; I send them ministering unto you, even as I too
minister. Take ye my words within your hearts
that this is so, and be joyous with one another in that such is paramount in
your lives' experience.
Make no mockery of my principles to
others through garrulity of conversation in speaking unto strangers; counsel
yourselves in your intercourse with others; Sweeten your cup of conversation
with references to me, but cast not your pearls of experience of a value, to be
trampled into mire of facetious observations. . . .
Again, I have told you I come unto thee in this simple and barely noticeable way to reach in the hearts of those who hold a true desire for union with Me...with the Father Principle I AM. And for those who are unwilling to adhere to My principles and open to mine teachings in this way, allow those to become exhausted by their own evolutionary errors in the senses of the outer world. One day they too shall crave truth and eternity and will be more cooperative to join us in our universal efforts to raise this universe and the surrounding others into greater Glory...
Adonai
Michael of this Son Universe
