Sunday, December 8, 2019 Joyville, Jeju Island, South Korea
About two thirds of this Sunday morning service from Joyville on Jeju Island, South Korea was spoken in Korean by our friend Jae Hyoung Lee, and he spoke about one third of the words in English, which I was able to transcribe. In order to get a feel for the fine spirit that is moving through Jae Hyoung and the assembled angels, it is worth watching and listening to the edited YouTube video which is attached at the bottom of the page, including the responses in Korean which provide an opportunity to move in radiation beyond the seeming language barriers. Thank you to Jae Hyoung and thank you to all angels in Korea. db
Jae Hyoung Lee — I’d like to share some parts
of Martin’s service from August 15, 1982. The reason why I shared these stories was that I would
like to introduce several viewpoints for us. The first one
is: What is the situation on this planet earth and what is our responsibility?
Another one is two different stories in Buddhism: One (Shinsoo’s point) is that
we are the ones who need to pursue the awakening, dusting off and cleaning our self continually—and the other
one (HaeNeung’s point) is that we are already the awakened One. The reason why I’d
like to introduce this Martin service, Being the Fire, is to know how Martin saw himself, and
what message he wanted to deliver to us on how we see our identity. Martin said:
“I am the fire; that is my character. I am the fire that burns eternally. I am
the light that glows eternally in consequence. I am the cloud of glory, which
gives evidence of the light that glows and the fire that burns. Therefore in
that experience the former things of pain and sorrow and crying are no longer
present. Death is no longer present. Death is simply the absence of life. In
truth, life is never absent.”
It is quite a different story!
“I know, in your experience as
human beings, thus far you have known pain, sorrow, trouble, discomfort, and
you have been aware of what is called death. What is it, then, that suffers
these things? It certainly isn't you, the angel of life.”
Who is it that suffer these things,
pain, sorrow, trouble, discomfort? It certainly is not you, you are the angel
of life.
We need to see ourselves from a
very different perspective. We are not the one who is trying to find somewhere,
something, the real us, somewhere else. In Buddhism they say that awakening
happens all at once—but Shinsoo’s point is different from it; you need to
pursue the goal. We are not the one who gradually know something. if we try to
know something of ourselves gradually, there is no end. When we awaken, then
all the cells of our body start to change. Of course it needs time to change
all the cells.
Once you change the direction of
your response, then your perspective, your value system, your
attention—everything changes! If you change once then you cannot go back to the
past. I experienced some things in the past, long ago, when I met this Emissary
for the first time. There were lots of subjects that I was interested in at
that time, and I read lots of books, many different kinds of books. At that
time I dropped by the bookstores every month and tried to find new books that
interested me. After meeting the Emissaries, at that time, I found myself. I
couldn’t read any other books—one or two pages only. I was a very curious,
intelligent person but I found that my appetite in that direction completely
disappeared. At that time I was interested in many subjects; international politics,
and the theology of Christianity—and also I was interested in Japan, so I
collected all the books translated into Korean about Japan: history, politics
and economics. I read more that 30 books about Japan, because I thought we
needed to know Japan to overcome her as Korean. But such kind of interest
disappeared completely. And it passed, more than thirty years after that, up to
now, and the direction of my attention has not changed.
I am the fire. I am the fire that
burns eternally. The only interest for me is to awaken the people to the fact
that they themselves are the fire eternally burning. All the spiritual
teachers, the one thing they wanted to deliver us, the one truth, is that. The great
Buddhist teacher I mentioned (HaeNeung) and his prominent successors wanted to
deliver us that. And also in Christianity—Jesus tried to teach us, awaken us. It
can not be experienced by learning only.
What is the characteristic of the one who is in that place? It is one’s orientation to heaven. Another characteristic
is response to the right things, response to the best things I know, response
to what is higher than myself, response to the highest in me—trust in heaven,
and to know that there is nothing to fight with. And to understand, and
acknowledge that I of myself am not enough and complete; and know that I need
to have a line of agreement with other angels, to create together. There is no
other mission than to awaken the others to the truth that they are the fire
themselves, an angel of heaven, and so create a line of agreement together, to
act, to have the means of the Creator on the earth to create. There is nothing
else to do except being the channel for the Creator.
When I relate to the others, I
only see the angel in that person. Of course I know that there are many other
identities in the person, but if that angel does not come out to greet me I
wait until the angel comes. The reason why this is possible is because I know
that I am the fire, and I am the angel. The only way to relate to each other is
as the angel and as the fire.
Two weeks ago Yujin Pak talked about
the processes of growing through Maslow’s design, his hierarchy of needs. Of
course, we know that we need to pass through the kind of processes that Yujin
mentioned, but eventually we should know that the true identity of ourselves is
the angel, characterized by the burning fire of love—that is each of us, and
that is the only way of relationship between each of us. That only is
important, and that only is what we need to remember all the time. We need to
know that our true identity is the angel and the true identity of any others is
the angel too. We should not forget that!
Of course there are lots of
problems in the human world and in the planet earth, but the only answer for
that is to come back to the original truth of our identity—that is the angel of
God, the angel of love. There are no other ways to change the situation. There
are many political ways, economic ways, or social ways, or other ways, but
these are only transitional.
When we come back to the right
position of ourselves, there comes new direction, new wisdom flowing through
us, and a new way of living will open to us. Currently we don’t know, but when
we come back to the right place of our true identity together, then that new
door will open for us. I will close my words here.
Duk Hee Kang — It is time for responding, so those on Skype line please respond first.
David Barnes — This is David speaking, from Salmon Arm, in British Columbia, Canada, and I want to speak about the line of agreement that is present between us here and you where you are—this is angelic agreement that we share on this line. We could call it an arc of agreement—a great arc of light and fire that connects you where you are and me where I am, and that connects all angels together along these arcs of fire, which are love, which is oneness. And so today you have brought us a very beautiful and important message from On High, and my heart sings in gladness with yours for what it is that we know and share together angel-to-angel. And we continue this angelic agreement, doing in this creative work together. Thank you Jae Hyoung.
Many commentson the Skype teleconference line, and from those present in the room.

Jae Hyoung Lee — Kamsahamnida. Thank you to all who are connected with us. In fact we are connected with the One who knows everything from the past, present and future—we are already connected with that Source. As we are controlled by what we perceive through our five senses it seems that we are disconnected from that Source; but in fact each of us is already connected with that. To know, to connect with that Source, all together, we need to be in one accord in one place first. When we are together as a body of angels, then we can be connected with the Source, so that wisdom and a new direction will be unfolding before us, to bring ourself to the Mission—at first, to awaken to the truth of myself, and then to set up a line of agreement, to make a body in agreement so that the Source can be revealed through that body. I think I have said what I would really like to speak today. Thank you and good bye.
We came to present ourselves before the Lord, to assume responsibility for whatever His will might be. We have had a most precious and valuable four weeks in association with each other, letting something be generated as it only could be by this Assembly of angels. There have been some transformations in consciousness—which is our service. We do not merely look beyond into the larger consciousness of the world and say changes need to come there. They do, undoubtedly—but how? Not by imposition but, “By my spirit, saith the Lord.” The Lord's spirit has been here present by reason of this Assembly, that by this spirit transformation might occur. We behold transformation occurring within the range of our own consciousness. We behold some of the things that need to happen in the consciousness of mankind, but only as there are these happenings in our own earthly consciousness are the changes being wrought in the consciousness of mankind. We do not stand in the judgment seat, observing what we imagine should happen, because we do not assume a vision that does not belong to us. The Master Himself emphasized this point when he indicated that the day and the hour of what it was that should occur, actually nobody knew, not even the angels in heaven, but the Father only. We leave that ultimate authority in His hands, but we have the authority to deal with our fields of responsibility on earth now, and consequently in each succeeding moment. So we accept this authority.
As you came up to speak this morning, I observed those who accepted the authority, those who were somewhat tentative about it as yet, and those who were still moving toward the experience. To this extent the Assembly was not entirely in agreement. I look for the day when we might have an assembly of angels all of whom have accepted their authority in the flesh. To the extent that this did not occur we did not achieve what we might have achieved. I do not say this in a spirit of condemnation but in simply a statement of fact. Obviously there was achievement, and I am most thankful for what has occurred. There have been evidences of individual transformation—greater acceptance of angelic responsibility, and the consequent expression of true authority. A little care needs to be taken in this regard. I noticed here and there, an endeavor on the part of lingering human nature to try to assume the authority of the angel, and it doesn't work too well—it isn't genuine. Sometimes a person feels so genuine about it, but it is the fact that we are concerned with and not the feeling.
I am sure that there was much learned during this period—perhaps learning may not be entirely the right word. We learn in the sense I mean when we find ourselves in position to assume the authority. That is a new experience, and therefore might be described as something learned—it's a new experience in your human form on earth at this time. It is a new experience even for the angel, because although there may have been incarnations in the dim and distant past, which naturally allowed the assumption of proper authority on earth, so that experience was known back then, it certainly would not be the same experience as would be known should it be done now. This makes it quite interesting from the angelic standpoint too. There are no repeat performances—and by the assumption of authority in angelic expression we have that experience in human form now; an experience that angelically had not been known before. Every moment is fresh—nothing boring about angelic incarnation and expression!
We have had experience during this time, as individuals, of association in a spiritual core. Because this association only included a few people, it may seem to be small. This core has had a particular task, but you all recognize that this core is part of a more extensive core—which has many facets. This has been one facet, a temporary facet, because this particular formation will not be in existence anymore in the days to come. This does not mean that you are not still responsible for playing your parts in the core. There are many facets, not necessarily geographical facets, but facets of varying qualities required, vibrational facets, which sometimes come to point in a geographical sense. But if there is no particular gathering of those who constitute the core at any particular time, this does not dissolve the core—it's still there. We may recognize a certain pulsation that occurs in the spiritual substance that has been generated. This pulsation occurs in the substance because of the pulsations of spirit, and the substance moves with spirit. Sometimes that substance is concentrated—the pulsation brings it together. In that sense it might be said, symbolically, that it occupies a smaller space. Such substance as has been generated has been contained, concentrated, so that the focus of spirit that related to the particular achievement that was necessary might have a facility through which to move. And so these pulsations occur when the substance becomes more concentrated, and then again it becomes more rarified.
The pulsations of spirit—the pulsations of life—we need to move as angels easily in those pulsations. For the pulsations to be known and experienced and shared there must be the essential substance, and it must be of our own individual generation. We can't trade on the substance of somebody else. Our connection is based in the fact that we have provided our own quota of substance and it all blends together, and it is all contained in whatever the formation may be at any particular time. We have known what the concentration of substance was during this Assembly period, and there was therefore a concentration of the experience of spirit. Actually, it is the spirit that brings the concentration once the substance is there. You all brought some substance with you, and you not only brought some substance with you, but the substance brought you in the external sense, here. The substance did that because the spirit was activating it—so you all showed up. You all showed up as angels from my standpoint, bringing along some necessary machinery by which we might achieve whatever could be done—taking into account what should reveal itself as being the limitations or the restrictions present in the machinery. I'm not judging you in this regard. The fact of it was revealed when you came up here to speak—whether you realized it or not, or whether you liked it or not, it was revealed. Not so much exactly in what you said, but beyond that in how you said it, how you presented yourself, what role you assumed when you were in this position.
We had a session recently when there was opportunity to play roles—even human roles, like the shy person, for instance. We are not controlled by our roles. If you come up here to assume a focus point with respect to what is happening in this formation, you can't assume that focus point by playing a shy role. I could hardly provide what is necessary in this moment if I retired and played some sort of a recessive role. I have to come out front to do what is required and play this sort of a role. We need to see that with respect to ourselves in relationship to whatever field we may be responsible for, so that we never let roles dominate us—human nature roles. We see the necessity of roles, and for any particular occasion we can look over our wardrobe of roles and don the correct robe of role. We sense what is necessary as we proceed—we must have a starting point of some kind, and that must be fitting.
Here is something else that we need to recognize. What I have offered during this time that we have shared together has not been an arbitrary imposition on my part. I didn't decide ahead of time and say, “Well, these people need to hear this. I'm going to lay it on them.” I utilize the substance that you make available to me. There may have been occasions when I went just a little bit beyond the substance that was offered—I had some available of my own—but not very much at any time because, on the basis of your offering to me, the inheritance that comes to me, we may move together. And it isn't a class, anymore. That's what's supposed to be being learned in a class, actually—how to move in the current of the spirit. We've learned how to do that, so here we are moving in the current of the spirit. All I do is utilize whatever substance is available by reason of our combined generation to permit the spirit to be brought forth, so that it isn't just me. It includes all of us, and we are all sharing in what has been referred to as unified radiation. Unified radiation is possible only when there is a unified participation in the processes of radiation, and there is recognition that whatever substance one has brought is part of what is being used to allow the release of the spirit—and because it is all blended together, we can all share the release of the extent of spirit that is thereby made possible. None of this has been on any arbitrary basis, certainly not from my standpoint. One could say that it might have been possible to experience a far greater outpouring of the spirit if there had been a greater generation of substance. Well, it was what it was.
It is all dependent upon what we ourselves do, and we're not expecting, even in the background of our consciousness, that the Lord is going to provide something regardless of us. We are His emissaries—His angels—emissaries of Divine Light, emissaries of Glory. If there is Glory on earth, we bring it—we bring it. How could anyone else give Glory to God on earth except by sharing in allowing the Glory of God to be revealed on earth? All that happens is that we provide the substance by which the Glory may be made known—that's all—the Glory is there already. So we share in the Glory of God in expression on earth. Then others may sense that Glory, behold it even, and desire therefore to participate in the process by which this Glory is revealed in larger measure.
There was some mention of the fact that at times we do some laughing, and we have fun, and it is a light experience. If we're solemn and quiet the idea is there isn't so much glory around. I suspect that is a human nature concept. Whatever is fitting is the glorious thing, surely. And there certainly are occasions when we need to exercise a little restraint on ebullient spirits which otherwise would put feet in mouth. So there are roles to play, and the fitting role at the time is what is required. I trust that during this time we have shared together there has been a greater sense of the fitness of things. This is part of the reason for our closer and more intimate association during this period—to gain a greater sense of the fitness of things. We can do anything that is needful. We can play any role that is required. I say that from the angelic standpoint—not necessarily from the human standpoint, because there are certainly still some areas of what one might call stiffness, and a lack of resilience, so that one might, with grace and with understanding, and with effectiveness play the required role.
Usually in the human sense if one is an actor or an actress there is need for a good deal of training in playing these various roles—but you know, far less is required once there begins to be the release of angelic expression, because the angel already knows how to play whatever role may be necessary in a much more fitting way than the human mind could figure out. The human mind doesn't really know—but the angel does, and we begin to sense that in our expression. The angel knows—we know—and we bring forth accordingly, and we don’t need a great deal of theatrical training to learn this. Also in the matter of speaking. It may seem at times that it is necessary for a person to take a course in public speaking. I don't think it should ever be necessary for an angel. The angel certainly doesn't need it—and if the human facility is open and yielded, well that's all there is to it, really. You will find that you are doing the things that possibly you would have been trained to do if you had gone through a course; but you will be doing them genuinely, and it won't be an imitation. It won't be for effect, in the human sense. It will be for effect in the angelic sense—the effect that the impact of the spirit is going to have—and that can certainly be enhanced by reason of the role that is being played. So we play the right role in the right place. We discover, with this increasing sensitivity in our expression of ourselves, by reason of what facilities we have available for this, exactly what is fitting.
We find that we do the things that are necessary when the angel does it—and the angel, he or she, is quite capable of handling the equipment that is available. Angelically speaking, we've all had vast experience in this regard—we've had all kinds of equipment down through the ages. This is not the first shot insofar as the angel is concerned; and he's quite aware of what is possible and what is needful. So we let it happen, we take responsibility as angels. We do not hide our light under a bushel. That doesn't mean we play the same role on every occasion. The light needs to shine in different ways. Glory is not just one great flash of lightning. As we continue to accept responsibility in the spiritual core, wherever we may be physically speaking, we let the Glory of the Lord shine round about.
What was it the Master said, when the disciples were fussing around about how they hadn't understood, and hadn't seen what they thought they should see? One of them spoke up and said, “Well, show us the Father and that's enough.” “Have I been so long time with you … He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” Well, that's what we're here to proclaim—in unified radiation it is done. We proclaim the truth. All the Master apparently could say was, “If ye continue in my word, then ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Futuristic—one day! And He was going to depart and He would send the spirit of truth, and he would do something in the future. What future? When is the future here? The future is here the very moment someone accepts the responsibility of whatever it is that is required in the moment. That has been our approach. It has allowed something to happen. We do continue in the Word. Not if—not if we do it. We continue in the Word, and because we continue in the Word we know the truth and we are free to express it—and we're not going to allow any nonsensical hesitancies in human nature to prevent it.
Now my expression in this moment is to you who are in position to participate by reason of your own substance, in this formation, in a particular expression of this nature. If you observe what I am doing now and say, “Well, I should be doing that,” you would be wrong. You would be having the idea that you could imitate me in doing something which you merely have externally observed, without any awareness of what it was that made this expression possible. Well, in any situation there is that which makes your expression possible. There is so much substance that you can use. Whatever there is, you use that—as an angel. You never deny the reality of your own Being, but you know that you cannot violate the Law—you wouldn't wish to. You don't have to keep thinking about the Law in order not to violate it. It is a natural thing. Whatever substance is available, you use that. If there isn't much, that will condition what you are able to express. You are not imposing something on anyone. You use the substance that is there. There is a greater concentration of substance in this situation than there would be in some others; therefore there is a greater concentration of the release of the spirit. But when you will find yourself in some other situation, where there's very tenuous substance—you're in a store in town, and there would probably be very tenuous substance there, so your manner of expression would be, naturally, totally different to what it would be if you were standing up here speaking to a group of people who were providing a rich quality and quantity of substance. So we understand the meaning of the words “sense of the fitness of things.” We sense what substance is available and therefore what can be said. If you have a general situation in the world, the substance is very tenuous. Sometimes there will be some person who comes out of the general situation, in whom there is more substance, and you can say something more to that person. Some people have substance, but they never offer it to you. They're so wrapped up in their self‑centered selves that there's very little substance there available for use. A person has to look you in the eye, and offer something, if there is to be a starting point for the right use of substance. And our concern is totally with right use.
There's plenty to use, in fact—all we need to do is learn to use it rightly. We shouldn't ever take the attitude, “There's nothing to use rightly here; there's no response here.” Even if there isn't favorable reaction, that doesn't mean that there's nothing there. There is something else, maybe, to be used rightly. There's always something there. The way we use spiritual substance is one thing, but the way we may use other circumstances and other situations is something else again. We make right use of whatever it is, even if it's opposition, or unfavorable reaction. Nowadays, even if it's indifference we bring something to bear—we can do this to the extent that there is substance available in our own expression. People begin to be put on the spot one way or another. So we have wide fields of responsibility with some excellent substance available for right use, and other not‑so‑good substance available also, for our right use. We need to learn how to use it, so that there may be the Glory of the Lord present—“He that has seen me has seen the Father.” I'm not suggesting that one should have a brash approach in this regard, but you need to be conscious of the fact that you, an angel, are present—not to impose anything on anyone ever, but to make right use of whatever is available to your hand. If you, the angel, are present, don't behave in a manner that denies that the angel is present. As an angel you may play a particular role for a particular purpose—you can use any honorable role.
So we have shared this time, we have shared our substance, and we have consequently shared unified radiation in whatever measure. And we have been in position to utilize to advantage whatever has been brought to us. We have considered various fields, that there might be an outlook which is clear, reaching into the consciousness of mankind. If we ourselves are mucking around in a fog, of what value are we to anyone else? And if we have the attitude, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father,” then we are very conscious of our usefulness in the world, and we would not let a moment slip by where that usefulness is not present. We are in motion, after all—in action. If it is true, “He that has seen me has seen the Father,” then here is Jehovah, and here is the creative power present on earth, required to accomplish the will of God. As we move along we discover what the will of God is. We don't have preconceptions as to what the will of God will be, as though the will of God was translatable into forms—this form is what is required for the will of God. What is required of us now, so that we may know the truth now, and the will of God be done now? The right word spoken, the right attitude revealed—now, and now, and now.
We all continue to share responsibility in the spiritual core of the body of mankind. Never think of the core as a small place. Sometimes it's thought of as a point that has position but no magnitude. If that refers to the undimensional state, which is incomprehensible to the human mind, fine. There's the whole of that undimensional state, whatever it is—plenty of it. But if you're thinking of the dimensional state, the core is not a small thing at all. If you remind yourself once again of concentric spheres, the largest sphere is the core. Love substance—that is the core of everything, and it is the largest sphere. The smallest sphere is the physical level of substance, the physical sphere—that's just a little marble in the middle, permeated by all the other vibrational spheres which extend beyond the physical sphere. Every one of them extends further than the physical sphere, and the sphere of the pure essences of Love substance extends beyond everything—it is all‑inclusive. There's nothing outside of that. So to function in the core is not to function in a little narrow place. It is to function in a vast expanse, plenty of room—more room there dimensionally speaking than anywhere. Let us never feel that we're being constricted because we should be functioning in the spiritual core of this ministry—“that's just a little place, because after all there are only a few people there compared to the population of the earth.” There are a lot of people in a very small space—and there are a few people in a very big space! That's the way it is. It isn't determined by the number of people.
So there is this space available for those who assume responsibility, and consequent authority, in the core of Love substance. It isn't a matter of cramming together. There may be occasions when the pulsation brings the Love substance into what might be seen as a density, necessary to accommodate the focus of spirit in the specific achievement that is necessary—and when that's done there is an expansion again. We have had this little four-week period when there has been a concentration of this substance, and we've done whatever was possible on this basis. We couldn't do what was not possible. We need to have a recognition that, given more substance, and given the willingness to let it all come together in a greater concentration, that more would be possible on that basis. We have experienced what was possible on this basis, and we do not condemn ourselves or anyone for what we didn't experience. I'm sure you're all very much aware that there's a lot we didn't experience. On the other hand, there was much that we did, and much that has been of value to many others.
Now as this Assembly dissolves and you begin to move out geographically speaking. You are still in the core of substance. I don't care where you go, you can't get out of it if you're actually in it. We need those who are consciously aware of being in it. That is what composes the core, regardless of geography. Because of that there is a continued presence of the reality of this core, the Glory of this Core, present with the world, with the people in it. Here is the enfoldment of which we may be aware. This is part of our spirit as individuals, as well as the blended spirit of all those who compose the control element in this core. You are invited to continue to share that control element, simply on the basis of your behavior in the proper roles which you will be playing. Then you'll be quite aware of what you need to be aware of relative to your responsibility in this core, and we will continue to be together.
We abide together. We continue in the Word—and because we continue in the Word we know the truth to be expressed in each moment and we experience the glorious freedom of the children of God. There is the Glory of the Lord, revealed in expression earth, which is an open invitation always for others to come and allow that revelation to be increasingly complete. We do not go forth from the spiritual core ever. We possess the land because it is the Lord's and it is brought to us. We have the responsibility for receiving the land into the hands of the Lord, clear and perfect. All that is not clear and perfect passes away. What is now clear and perfect is now in the hands of the Lord. There is more to be revealed in clarity and perfection, and this is the responsibility of those who maintain the core, continuing in the Word, that what is established, what is now done, may be finished and revealed, clear and perfect and complete.
Long ago the Master spoke the words, relative to His ministry—“It is finished.” And yet there were things yet to be clarified, to be made perfect, to be gloriously revealed. So it is in this day. It is finished, and no man can change that fact. After those words were spoken by the Master, it was impossible for human beings to change what took place, in permitting the reality of the resurrection to be known, and following through into His ultimate ascension. That couldn't be stopped. In fact, unwittingly, human beings cooperated in letting it occur. And so it is now with our responsibility. It can't be stopped. Let us be very sure that we are included amongst those who reveal the fact that it cannot be stopped.
With the world itself in the throes of a rebirth as made manifest through the turmoil, suffering, sorrow and death which engulf the globe, we are, as citizens of the world, subjected to increased pressure in the rapid tempo of life. This intensified stress causes us, individually and collectively, to turn whole-heartedly to that in which we have confidence and faith—to that which we feel provides a means for release and for a measure of happiness. Those who turn to worldly pleasures and temporal powers in the vain hope that thereby release and happiness may be experienced, must be allowed to follow in the way of their own fancies until they come to the time of disillusionment. If individual disillusionment comes while there is yet life, there will be an eager willingness to hear the Word, to learn the Way, and to do the requisite deeds. Therefore, it should be understood that these words are addressed to those who sincerely look to God for release and for the Divinely appointed measure of happiness. Sounding above the din of the world turmoil there is the clear and undying note of truth and confidence in the Divinely uttered words which we find in Revelation 21:5
Behold, I make All Things New
We know that God is making, and will make, all things new. We know that the human patchwork, and that the human efforts to retain and uphold the worn-out devices and worldly structures, must assuredly fail. We know that it is absolutely futile to pin our faith on anything which does not have its foundation in the Divine Plan in harmony with the Laws and Principles of the Christ Kingdom. For all those who are awake to the Reality of the Christ Kingdom, and to the actuality of the Divine Word, “Behold, I make all things new,” there is a Biblical passage that carries a heart-thrilling message: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17
Those who are being prepared of the Spirit to be Citizens of the Kingdom always rejoice in the opportunity to learn the Language of the Kingdom, to learn the Ways of the Kingdom, and to learn the Laws and the Customs of the Kingdom, that they may learn to live in the Kingdom. In John 10:1-5 inclusive, we read: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
There is the one true Way and there is the one true Door into the sheepfold, and the true Shepherd enters by the true Way, to lead his sheep forth by the true Door, and the sheep of the fold know the Voice of the Shepherd and follow him. How wise are the sheep that flee from the sound of the stranger's voice when the stranger entereth not by the Door into the sheepfold. So it is that as I come in the Power of the Spirit, and by the command of the Lord Jesus Christ, to gather His sheep into the Fold, and then to lead them forth by the true Door into the Divine Way wherein they shall find all things made new, those who are of the sheepfold will hear My Voice and rejoice in the Language of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ our Lord. The clarion Call is sounding forth throughout the earth: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Behold, the Water of Life is now being offered to all those who feel and know the Spirit of the Language of the Kingdom, and to all who are willing to be led into the Way, the Truth and the Life, when they hear the Words of the Language of the Kingdom. We are not interested in the doctrines of men, and I am not concerned with the politics and plans by which human beings think to achieve the fulfilment of their own desires. I am concerned only with that which is My Purpose and Calling in the Spirit to Minister unto all the children of men who find it in their hearts to desire to be Citizens of the Christ Kingdom on earth.
I have no quarrel with any church, and I freely acknowledge the right of each and every one to affiliate with the church of his choice. I gladly recognize that there is at least a degree of truth in all churches and in all spiritual teachings, else they could not exist. But the time is here when a degree of truth is not sufficient. Jesus Christ our Lord gave the sure and certain promise which we find in the Thirteenth Verse of the Sixteenth Chapter of the Gospel according to John: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” And in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Verses we read: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
Here we see that by the decree of the King of the Christ Kingdom, the Spirit of Truth would come to guide all those of all nations and kindreds and tongues and peoples who would respond and let themselves become as little children, that they might become Citizens of the Christ Kingdom, and be guided into all Truth—not a portion of the Truth only, but the whole Truth. By this same decree of our King we see that the function of the Spirit of Truth made manifest in the world should take of that which was His—that is, of that which belongs to the King, and that which was of the King, and should show it unto all the children of men who were ready to hearken to His Voice, and to hear His Words: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
That about which I speak to you did not have its beginnings in the days of the Reformation, nor did it have its beginnings in the days when Jesus Christ our Lord Himself walked upon the earth, but it had its beginning in the days when God first created this world and all the things that are therein. Then it was that the Christ Kingdom was established in the earth. Then it was that the Christ Kingdom was set up. But even in that time when the Christ Kingdom was set up, it was established upon that which came from out of Eternity to that time and place, and is, therefore, Eternal.
That about which I speak to you is not something that will come to an end like the passing of man-made kingdoms and empires. No, this of which I speak to you is from out of Eternity and continues on into Eternity. The Christ Kingdom, insofar as this world is concerned, has always existed. The sinfulness and the waywardness of man down through the ages of recorded history have prevented the full manifestation of that Kingdom, but, nevertheless, the Christ Kingdom has, through all these thousands of years, been supreme over and above and beyond all the kingdoms which men have established upon the face of the earth, and the day comes, and shall surely appear, when the Christ Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity shall again manifest in the whole earth. We have the sure and certain promise of the Living, Almighty God, as expressed by decree of the King of the Christ Kingdom:
Behold, I make All Things New
Therefore, it behooves us, one and all, to give consideration to the way by which all things are made new—now. It behooves us to consider the Laws of God and the Principles of Life with which we must harmonize if we would have a part in the Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity. Let each and every one in whom the workings of the Spirit have aroused a desire to know the Kingdom, to understand its Laws, and to learn its Language, remember always, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
The Water of Life is the Truth of Life, of which you are invited to partake freely, that you may be led of the Spirit into all Truth, and remember, that it is the Truth that shall set you free. It is only through the Truth, the Truth of God, the Truth of the Christ Kingdom, the Truth into which you shall be led by the Spirit according to your response, that you may find release from the turmoil, from the suffering, and the sorrow and death of this world, that you may receive and know and experience the Divinely appointed measure of peace and happiness that is the Will of God for you.
We have the sure and certain promise that all things shall be made new, and through the inspiration of the Spirit as made manifest through the prophets of old, and through the inspiration of the Spirit as made manifest now, we see that in this time of world turmoil the Creator of Heaven and earth is now making All Things New. If you have a sincere, earnest, persistent longing from the depths of your heart to share in this world made new, with the Edenic State restored, it is for you, now, to give yourself, whole-heartedly and without reservation, to God, that through the Spirit you may be made new. Until you are reborn and made new, you cannot comprehend fully that which is to be of the world made new, and until you yourself have been made new, you cannot be a part of the world made new. All things are being made new, but only those who let themselves be made new can share in the state of being that is envisioned in the Words of our King when He said,
Behold, I make All Things New
Are you ready now? If you are ready, you feel the stirrings of the Spirit at the sound of My Voice as I speak to you these words of Truth concerning the Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity. And if you are ready, you will hearken and give heed to the words spoken by the Spirit and the Bride, with the invitation to, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst, Come. Turn aside from the way and will of the world into the Way and the Will of God, that you may come into the One Christ Body, to be a part of the One Vine, to be made new and prepared as a worthy Citizen of the Christ Kingdom that shall be made manifest in all the earth.
Behold, I make All Things New
In Daniel 2:44 we read: “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, And it shall stand forever.”
Thrice blessed are all they who recognize, and respond to, the Language of the Kingdom, that as they, themselves, are transformed and made ready for the Kingdom, they may be instruments in the Hand of God by which the world itself is transformed and prepared for the full manifestation of the Christ Kingdom. As the world is being reborn, that it may be made new, the people of the world must be reborn if they would become Citizens of the Kingdom. Consider the words of our Lord and King as recorded in Luke 14:16-24, where the servant was sent to proclaim, “Come; for all things are now ready,” but those who should have come began to make excuse.
You will note that the excuses which Jesus outlined cover, in principle, the excuses which the people of the world are making today. Consider this matter well, for those who think to make excuse have, in fact, been left without excuse before God, and that by which human beings delude themselves into a false sense of security is of no avail before the Judgment Bar of our King. Consider, also, the Words of our Master as found in Matthew 22:1-14. Only those who respond to the heavenly invitation, “Come”, can know when and where and how to receive the Wedding Garment, and such as do not have the Wedding Garment will surely hear the command of the King to His servants, “Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few are chosen.” Thrice blessed are they who let themselves be chosen of the King, that they may be at Home at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb.
Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we would let ourselves be so drawn by the Cords of Thy Love, and so directed in the Way by Thy Spirit, that we may hear Thy Cosmic Call to “Come” and, hearing, to Respond with that unspeakable Joy that wells up from the depths of our being—for we would let ourselves be made worthy to wear the Wedding Garment, that through us Thy Will may be done in earth as Thy Will is done in Heaven. We thank Thee that it is so established in the Christ, even as Thy Kingdom shall fill the whole earth and endure forever, in Thy Holy Name. Aum-en. Peace be unto you in the Way in which you go, that being blest of the Lord you may be a blessing to all the children of men, of whatsoever race or nation or belief they may be, that according to their response they may share the Peace of God with you, now and ever more, as you walk in the Way of the Christ Kingdom on earth.
