Completion Of A Cycle
You Are Not Of This World
Uranda September 16, 1946 Service Number Three 8 pm
End of Summer Session — Sunrise Ranch
With what words shall I speak to you tonight? How shall I convey to you that which is in my heart. As you feel near to the heart of God, you know those things which cannot be spoken, and you feel those things that cannot be confined to words. And if that be true of you, with what words shall I speak? I feel so deeply the going of those who must go, and I pray God for them go, and I praise God for those who by His Grace are permitted to stay. Through the goodness and mercy of the Almighty we come to the closing service of a successful two-month Summer Session. And it is the first time in my ministry that I have been privileged to say so in the fullness of accomplishment. The first time under the pressure of a Session, when I have not felt my focalizations crumble out from under me. You who have been to the former sessions know that in every case I completed the cycle, but always before there have been those who did not complete the cycle with me, upon whom I had placed great trust. This time, by the goodness of God, it is not so—through your love for Him.
This has been what the others should have been. And having passed through those things, though they did not move me, I cannot say that I did not suffer, and perchance it may be by the Grace of God and through His Love that part of what I feel tonight is the pulling of the scars in the quivering flesh that has suffered under the failures of the past. This has been a glorious day of victory. I know that another part of what I feel has its roots in the days of long ago when, on a certain morning, the disciple whom Jesus loved outran Peter to come to view the empty tomb. Humanity has waited so long to share that victory, and while it has been waiting, the misery and the suffering in the world has sustained a poignant memory of those events which led to the tomb for our Great Master.
And this evening I was thinking, here I am, blessed as He was never blessed on earth. I have gathered around me those who have stood by me, and they have not forsaken me. There be a feeling hard to describe, with a thought of loved ones going out into the world to serve the LORD, who are loyal and who are true, and somehow it seems a little hard to see them go, and that a part of me was going, a part of that which I am for we are not separate, but we are one body in Christ. And the thought crossed my mind in memory of certain hours in Gethsemane, and hours that followed, how, if I find it difficult to let loyal loved ones go out into the world to serve the LORD, what it means to Him to have loved ones betray and deny, and follow a far off. I have in some small sense tasted of that in my own ministry, but I have never felt that it should compare to that which He felt in that hour. It is not to engender sadness that I speak of these things, but rather to bring understanding in a realization of the Source from whence our strength cometh; and to emphasize, if by some word I may do so, my joy in that which is made manifest in you by reason of our having been gathered together in the spirit of the Christ Love.
I have often thought how greatly I am blessed. Our Great Master came into the world and served and talked, and at the end of that ministry He had so few to stand with him in the hour of the cross. I have served only fourteen years and ministered as you have known, and you who are gathered here are not the only ones who share the Victory of this hour. There are other sheep who are safely within this fold, who would have so loved to have been here in person this night. All of those who are delivered from the hand of the enemy, drawn from the east and from the west, and the north of the south, have come to stand with me in His Name, not at the foot of the cross but at the mouth of the tomb from which the stone has been rolled away in the Victory of our God. By this we prove to Him that that which He did was not in vain. And that which is made manifest in this hour is but a foretaste of that which shall be, as the earnest ones from around the world are drawn forth from the darkness into the light; for we must ever remember that it is not for ourselves that we have had and share so great deliverance, but for all who shall truly turn in love to the LORD of Love. That is the condition of salvation—"to believe on me”—and all who will may come.
The Way, the Truth and the Life are open to all alike, and we must of needs so function that all who yearn for him, and seek him she'll surely find him. But except He be made manifest on earth through His Body on earth, how should the seeking ones find, and how should the yearning ones come to know him? for I cannot of myself give personal ministry all the children of men as I have given to you. You have received freely—freely give according to the response made manifest under the direction of the spirit, but seek not to act too swiftly. Move forward in the rhythm of the Whole Body. Let the grace of movement appear in the Whole Body that the function may be smoothly effective in the doing of the Father's Will. Abide in His Love, and He shall abide in you; for you have been anointed with His Love, and through His Love the Breath of Life has come into this Body which has answered His Call to come forth from the darkness of the tomb—the Breath of Life, and this Body becomes a Living Soul established in the Garden of our God; and it shall be that wheresoever you may go upon the face of the earth, as you abide in His Love, and let His Love abide in you, you shall find that you are ever unfolded in the atmosphere of the Garden, the Garden of Eden, for Eden is the whole world, and the atmosphere of the Garden shall enfold you wheresoever you may be, and you shall find, as you let it be so, that the Realm of the Prince of Peace is not limited to Sunrise Ranch; and as you have entered into His Realm here, you shall find, as you abide in His Love, and let His Love abide in you, that the earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof.
The earth is the LORD’s, and regardless of the denizens of darkness that may still be roaming the face of the earth, His power is there, and His Peace is available to all who respond to Peace, wheresoever they may be. As you go out into the world, you who go, and you who stay—and as you function in relationship to the world, you will find that you are on a new base. The prayer and the song have been answered. “LORD, lift me up, and let me stand, By Faith on heaven’s tableland, A higher plane, then I have found; LORD plant my feet on higher ground” And as by your lives you prove that it is so, other sheep are drawn into the Fold.
As I stood at the foot of the cross that dark hour so long ago, it seemed so futile,
and yet He had said, “And I, if I be lifted up, shall draw all men unto me.”
I think the record proves that I was drawn to him then, and have not faltered from that function since that day; and by me you have been drawn, and as you remain Faithful Members of His Body on earth, others likewise will be drawn, until the magnetic power of His Love shall search around the world so powerfully that all who respond to love shall surely be lifted up out of the quagmire of sin, suffering, sorrow and shame, yea, from the darkness of the tomb, that they may step forth in the resurrection and the life, and there is no joy so great as the joy of sharing His Love with those who believe on him. But do not expect the world to see you as you are or to respond quickly to the light that is in you. You are not of this world, and the world will not love you, for the world does not know love. Only those in whom the Love of God is found will see the Light, and rejoice in that which they receive through you. Be patient, therefore. “Let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
We know that the world does not respond, and will not respond to the Love of God; for if the world had responded to the Love of God, it would have returned to the Edenic State long ago. It would not have rejected and crucified our Master; therefor the world as a whole cannot be expected to respond to your love if it has has not responded to the LORD of Love through these many thousands of years. Nevertheless, though the heart of the world be cold, we endure those conditions that are in the world, and are made manifest, that those who do Love God may draw near to the heart of God. Be not discouraged, therefore, if it seems that no one responds, or if it seems that those in whom the Love of God may be found are few and far between. Judge not. Your commission is: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”—and those in whom the Love of God is will see, and those who know not the Love of God will not see, for the self-active mind without the love of God refuses to be convinced, regardless of the signs. or the Truth, or the evidence made manifest. You are not of this world, for you are of the Kingdom, and your KING is the Prince of Peace.
In the world there is no peace, no matter how many human beings may cry: “Peace. Peace.” For these words are upon their lips when there is no peace. But you know peace, that peace which passeth all human understanding. Let not, therefore, the turmoil that is in the world destroy your peace; for if you respond to the conditions of turmoil, you will find yourself drawn into the realm of the prince of confusion, who is the prince of this world. If there be confusion in those whom you contact, your response to the LORD of Love shall prevent your being subject to the turmoil and the confusion, as you obey the first of the great commandments. Some there are who are in turmoil and confusion, who have lost faith in the works of men, the plans have men and the boasts of men; and if there be in them the Love of God, it may be that seeing the Light that is in you, and sensing the peace that is in you, they may respond and seek and find and know the Way, the Truth and the Life.
But whether or not any shall respond, when you go forth in the world, it is that your Light should shine, regardless of the conditions in the world, that those who will may respond, and that those who will not may be without excuse before God, for the day of judgment comes apace The only safety is in love response to God. The only foundation that can withstand all the buffetings and turmoils of men is the Love of God. That rock upon which we build is the Love of God, for God is Love, and our KING is the LORD of Love. All else is sinking sand. That will not that which will not come into the Love of God, shall fall either under the buffeting of the storm, or under the Sword of Truth. This is the little rock cut out without hands, out of the mountain—for the LORD of Love is the Mountain, and that love which is off Him, that has found its resting place in you, makes manifest the little rock that shall grow and fill the whole earth, for there is no power greater than the power of our God.
Your work is to let Love Radiate, and let your Light so shine that you may be a living expression of Life on earth, that you may prove that there is that peace which the prince of this world cannot take away, that all who will may receive, and that all who receive may not be without excuse before God. Be not unduly concerned about the accomplishment of the Greater Works. Let the determination of such things rest in the hand of the LORD, and as you abide in your place by reason of love response to Him, and prove by your life that you are a citizen of the Kingdom, you will be ready and in your place, when the time comes for you to participate in the accomplishment of the Greater Works. But this Christ Body is not ready to begin the fullness of its Ministry.
Our Twenty-Two-year Creative Cycle has opened [1924-1946; 1946-1968; 1968-1990; 1990-2012; 2012-2034; 2034-56]. The vibration for it has already been set. The spirit of that form which shall appear through it is already established. The movement of the cosmic forces is already beginning to work in God's mysterious Way. It is for you to abide upon the Rock and be an expression of the Rock, and let His Will be done. Let patience have her perfect work, that that which is established may come forth in season in that fullness which is to be. Your outer mind may not be able to see just what is working out for a little time with respect to the Greater Works. Be content to let the Spirit work in and through you where you are.
And meanwhile, here we will be abiding, working to let this focalization become to the highest possible degree an absolute accomplishment in miniature of that which shall be done in all the world; and in the season of the LORD, the Greater Works shall appear. It is not for you to determine, when that season shall be. It is for you to let the Spirit work. It is for you to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Trust and obey, and let His Will be done. It is so simple. And when the human mind comes to rest in the LORD, you realize that the human mind does not have a hard task. It is not required to do all of these difficult things which it has been trying to do. All it has to do is to rest in the LORD. Why should human beings imagine that that is so difficult, or an unreasonable requirement.
These things remember, and you shall find, as you go about your daily expression of the Christ Life, that the Spirit shall bring to remembrance the things that I have said unto you according to the need. You do not need to try to remember after the manner of men. Let the Spirit bring to remembrance that the Spirit may give you utterance in the hour that you should speak; and if, perchance, at some time, under some circumstance, any sense of uncertainty should appear, or you should feel any need of strengthening, read the words of the Master which I have expressed for you so often through these days, as recorded in the Gospel according to John, and you shall find a new attunement in Love Response to the LORD, and the willingness to let the Spirit of Truth accomplish His perfect work in the season of the LORD.
There is yet much to be done, of which I cannot tell you now. But you are drawing nearer day by day to the point of greater understanding All things shall be revealed in season, and if you see, recognize, comprehend, and realize that which is enfolded in each moment as you move along the way of life, you will come to know all that is needful to you; but if you should get out attunement with the unfolding revelation of the moment by moment expression of reality on earth you cannot hope to know until that attunement is restored, and you abide in it—and keep abiding in it; for if they're be anything on earth that can throw you from that alignment, then it surely will; but you are to be stronger in the LORD than anything on earth, and unless the power of the LORD is greater than the things of this world there can be no hope for victory, and until you have had a season of living, moving, thinking, and speaking in this attunement in love response to the LORD, you are not prepared for that which is to be. All things essential to you I have given you in the Word of Truth and in the expression of Love, and have drown you to a realization of a vivid attunement in response to the LORD of Love It is now for you to let the cycles work.
Blessed ones as you abide in polarity and prove the hope that is in you, the time will come when you shall share in the Greater Works. As you have been drawn into the Kingdom; it is now for you to prove before the LORD of Love that you can live in His Kingdom, and until you have become acquainted with the living of Life in His Kingdom, you are not ready for that which shall be required of you in season. Not one single day waiting shall be in vain if you let it be what it should be in attunement in the LORD; and if the serpent should whisper that you are accomplishing nothing, and that you should begin to shape and mold and accomplish according to the ways of men, yea, that you should eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree, remember that the serpent is the prince of liars, and all that you can shape and mold by any such function is the path that leads into the shackles of the prince of death.
As you abide in His Love, and let His Love abide in you, you know that you are never alone; for to those who love him he said, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” And you know that my love is with you. I am with you in Spirit. Those of us who Minister here are ever mindful of those of you who must go forth into the world, that you may ever be assured of the place to which you may turn away from the world, and open yourself and love response, and know that you will receive of the Water of Truth and the Bread of Life, and the healing, soothing bomb of His Love.
Is there any among you who, in the beginning of this Session in the middle of July, foresaw or could have foretold that which has come to pass? I think not. If that be true of these two months, remember, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. “And do not try to determine as to how the outworking of the Cosmic Plan should be. Let the Spirit direct, abide in His Love and let His Love abide in you, and let the Spirit of Truth determine the pattern of that which shall be, and you will know in season, as you remain faithful and true in your Calling in the Body of Christ Jesus on earth. What more can I say to you than I have said?
Remember Philippians 4:8—“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
You do not go out into the world to undertake to fight with the forces of darkness. You go into the world to let the Light so shine that those who respond to the LORD may be drawn to stand upon the Rock. Leave the direction of the battle to Michael, and prove that you are one of His Angels, for His Angels know that he knows when and how to direct the battle. The battle shall be so directed that, if possible, no responding one shall be hurt. Abide ever within the hedge, for from this day onward the battle needs no longer to be in you, but beyond the hedge. For as you abide within the hedge, the battle will not be in you. But if you should make yourself a battleground, through division of response, there can be no assurance that you will not get hurt; for there is one enemy—the dragon, the serpent, the devil—by whatever name he is called, with whom there can be no compromise. Whether you be the battleground or not, you need not be the battleground anymore; for the battle rolls on outward into the realm of darkness, and in season the dragon shall be destroyed utterly from the face of the earth insofar as its self-active manifestation is concerned. It is for you to Love the LORD and not be concerned about trying to battle the enemy; for if you undertake to fight with him, there is no assurance that you can win. If you are functioning under the direction that is ordained, there is no question about the outcome of the battle, but you are not directing that.
It is for you to Love the LORD. Let Love Radiate. Let your Light so Shine. Let His Will be done, and let the LORD do the works. So shall we let His Glory manifest in the earth, and thus is He Glorified, and all the children of men may know that the LORD He is the God. The LORD He is the God. It is good to Love and Serve the LORD—the greatest joy in life; in fact, the only joy in life; for all else is emptiness and nothingness. As you hold steady in your places in love response to the LORD of Love, my work will be easy, and you will find that truly the LORD works in mysterious ways, His Wonders to perform.
Uranda read the Great Prayer which the Master expressed in John, Chapter 17
O LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, as we consider these Thy words upon the earth, we rejoice that Thou did pray for us, and we would let that which is of the Spirit of Thy Prayer be made manifest in us to the blessing of all who will respond to Thee, that all who will let go may be lifted up and established upon the Rock in Thy Holy Name. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory, forev er. Aum-en.
O, LORD of Lords, I thank be for the blessing upon these who were Thine, and who came out of the world, for Thou didst give them unto me, and as I have given them unto Thee, I know that Thou shalt be with them always, even unto the end of the world, that they may let Thy Will be done on earth, and that all who respond may come to know Thee as Thou art, the only true God in Whom we trust. And I thank Thee that the Word that I have spoken according to Thy Commission has gone forth in the Fire of Thy Love, accomplishing that where unto it is sent, and it shall not return unto Thee void. In. the Christ. Aum-en.
