The Destiny of the United States

1 Peter 4:10-11

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies. 1 Peter 4:10-11

During the Lemurian Epoch, all land was part of a single super-continent [Pangaea], and with its destruction, all races were destroyed. The same races incarnate to open every new civilization, so they came to open the Adamic Civilization on Atlantis. Today these races inhabit Ephraim, which is England, and Manasseh, which is the United States.

Each time we have decolonized and recolonized, we have asked questions. Where are we going? What is happening? How shall we meet it?

Unconquerable Faith and Unquenchable Love contain the answers to all these questions. We must let faith possess us, let it use us unto all perfection. We must let Unquenchable Love create for us miracle after miracle, and miracle upon miracle.

"I will arise and move into the High Place. I shall live above my neck!"



Flaming Desire

Job 22: 22-28

Receive from His mouth now the Law, and put His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put injustice far from your tents. Then you will lay gold in the dust, and the gold among the rocks of the torrents of Ophir. Yes, the Almighty shall be your gold and silver, strength for you. For then you shall have delight in the Almighty, and you shall lift up your face to God. You shall make your prayer to Him, and He shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows. And you will decree a thing, and it shall be established [stand] for you, and light shall shine on your ways. Job 22:22-28

This text tells us that for God to answer our prayers, we must receive the Law, make our prayer, and pay our vows! The Master tells us, "Ask, and it will be opened to you," which means that it is free to all who desire.

The Father's pleasure is to give: "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do." Because He has chosen us, "Whatever you my ask the Father in my name, He may give you."

Yet we must ask in faith, without wavering: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting."

We must approach God with a clean heart and clean hands, "And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing before Him."

We have perfect trust in Him: "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."

The River of Life, which is Light, is flowing toward us twenty-four hours a day. We are all alike in this. Yet what do we take into it? The Holy Breath is pure Light, but if we color it with negativity, we receive no benefit as it flows through us. We send it forth as dark clouds, or as Light, Light, Light!

"I now agree and adjust to the Light above, under all conditions."

The Teammates: Will and Desire
May 28, 1941 Outline
Butte, Montana
Matthew 13:31-33

Another parable he put forth to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches." Another parable he spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened." Matthew 13:31-33

Mustard seed represents the aggressive Will of the Father Principle. Leaven symbolizes the pervasive Desire of the Mother Principle.

Will, which is the expression of Wisdom through an individual, builds the pipeline of determination to our goal, according to our plan. Desire, which forms the seed, impregnated with the idea at its heart, must be nourished and sustained.

When Will and Desire are pulling opposite directions, we are filled with conflicting emotions, thoughts, doubts and fears. The Holy Breath moving through us then colors the River of Life, creating clouds and leaving imperfections behind. We must firmly harness Will and Desire, and put Imagination in the driver's seat.

Shangri-la: Paradise of the Soul

1 Peter 1:3-11

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the Power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, you love. Though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith -- the salvation of your souls. Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that would follow. 1 Peter 1:3-11

All of earth's darkness is but part of the effort to reach the soul's haven. The trials of your faith are more precious than pure gold. You are kept by the Power of God through your faith.



Jesus the Lawyer

Buffalo, New York
Matthew 22:34-46

When the Pharisees had heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him, and saying, "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David." He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him 'Lord,' saying, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool'? If David then calls him 'Lord,' how is he His son?" And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question him anymore. Matthew 22:34-46

Love is the greatest commandment, to "love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the heart and soul of the Via Christa, the Way of Universal Brotherhood.

You shall love your neighbor exactly as you love yourself. We must love enough, so much so that we stand at last on the Mount of Transfiguration, "glistering and white."



The Yoke of Love
December 7, 1941 Outline
Tacoma, Washington
Matthew 11:29-30

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle [meek] and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30

[December 7, 1941, the Japanese Attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor on this date.]

A yoke is a crossbar with two U-shaped pieces that encircle the necks of oxen or other draft animals working together, a bond or tie, something that connects or joins together. We must yoke desire to choice, under the bond of honor.

Desire begins with aspiration, moves to inspiration, and leads to illumination, which operates under three Christed Principles, Tone, Number and Form. They belong to you, and yoked together, they create concord.

We have freedom to choose the yoke we wear, and make ourselves happy or unhappy according to our desire. Choice and desire must have concord to tie them together, to keep harmony and unity flowing through, with no separation from God.

Honor brings us to concord, which is first an agreement, then a contract with God. A contract is a covenant. The yoke symbolizes our covenant with God, a covenant of Love, signed in honor.

Love considers only Love, contemplates only Love. Love expresses only Love. Love is perfect, and considers only Love as itself, as being perfect. Love creates only Love, in its own image and likeness. Love is the greatest investment in a Life Annuity.

Light is the Face of God, shining down upon us. How can we walk with God, how can God walk in us, if we are yoked with any darkness? How can He dwell in us, if we dwell in darkness? "If the Light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

God has sowed His seed of Light (6, six) within the heart of every living soul. His seed may fall on fallow ground, but it cannot die! Self's ideas and desires die to feed the seed until it becomes the number of perfect humankind (9, nine).
