He Has Called Your Name
Easter Day
Uranda April 9, 1950 11 a.m. Sunrise Ranch
It is a glorious day and already we have had a glorious outworking and now we are privileged to gather again to share in a further communion in the Spirit of God's Love and Truth and the expression of His Life.
O LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, we thank Thee for the blessedness of this day which Thou hast made manifest, and with hearts full of love, we thank Thee for that first Easter Day which makes possible our fulfillment in this Faster Day as we share with Thee in the Victory. We thank Thee that as Thy Will is done on earth in the Kingdom that Thou hast established, so shall the shining of the Light give assurance and courage to all who turn to Thee, whosoever, wheresoever they may be, that all Thy Children everywhere may share in the blessedness of Thy Wondrous Love and the beauty of Thy Glorious Iruth, that, altogether we may let the Life, the Christ Life, have meaning on earth for all who will receive in Thy Holy Name. Aum-en.
“And when he had opened the Seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven about the space of half an hour.” You have been sharing this morning the unspeakable beauty of that Silence in Heaven, that which cannot be expressed in word, that which must be lived to give it meaning in the unfolding cycles of time.
Easter Morning—we have felt this day something of the feeling which pervaded Heaven that first Easter morning when our Master established the Victory. Usually, in thinking of Easter, the thought expressed is that our LORD was resurrected from the tomb. The fact is that our LORD was never subject to the tomb, but His Body was. It was our LORD’s Body that was resurrected, not the LORD Himself, for man could not touch Him.
The LORD Himself, men could not crucify. The LORD Himself could not be placed in a tomb and sealed there—it was His Body against which self-active human beings took action—it was His Body that was placed in the tomb—and it was His Body that came forth in the Resurrection and the Life. So is it today, it is not the LORD who has stood in need of the Resurrection and the Life, but the body of His Faithful Ones on earth, the body of His Children everywhere that has stood in need of the Resurrection and the Life.
You have today tasted something of that Resurrecting Power by which the Members of His Body are set free from the darkness of the tomb, that, entering into the Garden of God, they may know that it is futile to look in the tomb to find the LORD. Too long have human beings looked into the tomb, but, as the Angels said, “He is not there.” No, it is not in the tomb that we will find our LORD, although He sends His Angels to bring us forth from the tomb of this world's darkness into the Light of an Easter Day.
It is in the Garden, you will remember, that Mary, when she first recognized the Master's Presence, supposed Him to be the gardener. He was, and is, but not in the sense she thought. No, first perceiving Him, she did not see Him as He was; she did not recognize Him, but He was there in the Garden beyond the tomb. Her fear was that they, persons unknown, had taken her LORD away. How many times since that day have human beings imagined that someone, somewhere, what someone else did, what someone else said, had taken their LORD away. Human beings with their puny activities cannot take the LORD away—it cannot be done. How should the LORD be taken away? No, He was not in the tomb; it was futile to look there and it still is, but they, persons unknown or known, have not taken Him away; they cannot; He is there in the Garden of God.
When her name fell from His blessed lips, “Mary,” the sound of His Voice awakened her from that trance of sorrow that had engulfed her. She was awakened so that she could see that which was before her. The Master was there in the Garden—she knew someone was there but she had not recognized Him. How often human beings have been like that. But the wonderful thing is this: that when He called her name she did not just go blindly on; she was not so deeply engulfed in her own thoughts and ideas that she did not hear; no, she heard Him speak and knew His Voice and answered, “Master.”
There was acknowledgment; there was recognition; there was the depth of love response, uttermost devotion according to the Law of the Kingdom, “Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all Thy heart and mind and spirit and soul and with all thy strength.” Yes, in that answer that came forth from the depths of her heart, you can see and feel and know her fulfillment of the Law, and she saw her LORD. How many times the Master, walking in the Garden of God on earth has called the names of those who did not hear, those who went blindly on, immersed in their own ideas and concepts and their own anguish and human desires, so busy looking in the tomb, so busy worrying about who they might have been and what they might have done to the LORD that they could not hear His Voice.
In time past, you recognize, He has called your name, for today is not the first time He called your name, but you never answered Him as you did this morning. When the anguished heart grows still, and when the mind is quiet, when there is the fullness of love response to Him, then can the human being hear the Call, for He has called your name as surely as He called the name of Mary long ago. We have known something of His Presence; we have sensed it; we have recognized it; so have tens of thousands and millions of others. It is not that we have forgotten the LORD. Mary was searching for Him; so are tens of millions of others searching, looking in the tomb when He is not there; but in the Garden of God He is walking, and He calls the name of each one who searches for Him.
You know that He has called your name, and hearing, you have begun to see and hear truly that wondrous Voice of Love—that Love that will not let you go. Mary answered, “Master.” What do we answer when He calls? If He is our Master, then let us so function in our lives that we prove that it is so, in the fullness of devotion, obedience and trust—in that faith that springs from love for God that cannot be shaken by what any may think or say or do or be, or by what may take place in the world around us, faith that springs from unshakable love for God, that God's Love working through us may have meaning on earth.
That Easter Day set the pattern and opened the Way for this Easter Day which we are privileged to share. What greater honor, what greater privilege could God bestow than this? Our LORD came into the world because God so loved the world and He brought the message, “Repent and be baptized, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” We have found it so. In our lives we have proven His Words are true, true and righteous altogether—the Way, the Truth and the Life. As we meditate upon that Easter Day and see the outworkings of this Easter Day, in our own hearts and minds we know that we have begun to taste, begun to see, that we have begun to feel—but it is little more than that—the Victory of His Kingdom, the Eternal wonders. We have just begun. He opened the Way. He set the pattern for this Easter Day.
After He spoke to Mary, He said, “Touch me not for I have not yet ascended unto my Father.” Having brought His Body forth from the tomb, His first business was to ascend to the Father and what did He say? He told Mary to go and tell the other disciples, saying, “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” His instruction was and is to follow Him, follow Him in the Resurrection and the Life, follow Him in ascending unto the Father. His first business, His first fulfillment of responsibility after the Resurrection of His Body was to ascend unto the Father. It was after that that He met with His disciples and talked with them concerning the things of the Kingdom.
First, he ascended unto the Father, and following through, following Him, we must do likewise. It is not enough merely to taste of the Resurrection and the Life—we must together ascend unto the Father. The only way we can know that fulfillment is by following our Master in the expression of His Love for the Father. His Commandment was: “Follow me.” That is His Commandment to each one of us—follow Him. We have seen how that following must lead to the crucifixion of that human self that is not of Him, how it must lead through the tomb, through the Resurrection and then, if we are to follow Him all the Way, the next step is to ascend unto the Father. What was it He said unto the one who saw Him in the Garden, what message did He give? He said, go and tell them, “Behold I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” He made it very clear that He was not ascending to some high Heaven denied to those who should follow after Him. He was ascending and as He said before, “Whither I go ye know, and the Way ye know.” He had prayed and given assurance to those who followed after that “Where I am, there ye may be also.”
He expected His followers to follow Him all the Way, including the ascension to the Father. We thank God that it is so. As you continue to let the Cycles of the Spirit work in the silences of your soul, holding true under the Law of the Kingdom, abiding in the attitude of the Angels' Song, you shall surely find the processes of ascension working in and through you to fulfill His Word even as He said, “And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”
He made it clear and plain that as He ascended unto the Father, He expected those who followed Him to let themselves ascend unto the Father. “And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me,” and so we are to let the process of ascension work in heart and mind and body and soul that we may share that which He established then, that which He made possible for the children of men. This is our opportunity, our privilege, our sacred responsibility on this beautiful Sunday, this Easter, Nineteen Hundred Fifty.
O LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, I thank Thee for these Blessed Ones who are letting themselves be opened more fully moment by moment and hour by hour and day by day to Thy Great Love that they may be lifted up into that place which Thou hast prepared for them in Thy Kingdom which is at hand on earth, that they may truly let Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. O LORD, we thank Thee that as we share and know and experience the wonder of the working of Thy Spirit, we know that all Thy Children everywhere of every color and creed, of every race and clime are likewise being drawn into the Spirit of the Resurrection and the Life that, moving steadfastly forward, all who will may share the Resurrection of Easter Season and the ascension to that place which Thou hast prepared for us in Thy Kingdom that is at hand on earth. O LORD, I thank Thee that it is so and I thank Thee for the blessings of Thy peace which rest upon these Earnest Ones here gathered and upon all who turn to Thee, whosoever, wheresoever they may be, IN the Christ. Aum-en.
The Peace of our LORD, Jesus Christ be with you now and forever. The LORD has truly been good to us this Easter Day and now we have a lovely afternoon in which to let His Spirit continue working in our hearts. We look forward to gathering again at the appointed hour this evening.

Easter Day In The Kingdom Of The Prince Of Peace
You Can Afford To Wait
Uranda April 9, 1950 7 a.m. Sunrise Ranch
O LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, we come “before Thee this morning that in Thy Love and Mercy Thou mayest examine our hearts. I thank Thee for the Peace that has been established in the hearts of those here gathered and in the hearts of those who are with us in Spirit this glorious Easter Morning. We acknowledge Thee Prince of Peace, and each one, to the degree that he has entered into Thy Peace, shall know that he has come into Thy Kingdom and each shall know that as he abides in the Peace of the Prince of Peace, he is abiding in the Kingdom. O LORD, I rejoice in the privilege of presenting before Thy Throne these Blessed Ones who have entered into Thy Peace, that as they open their hearts to Thee they may know the wonder and the joy of Letting Thy Love flow through them into the world, that having come forth from the tomb they may ascend unto Thee in the Currents of Thy Everlasting Love.
Blessed Ones, Entering the Kingdom the shell of self is left behind. Ye cannot look for it in the Kingdom, for if ye seek it ye shall find yourselves outside the Kingdom. That shell of self is not here in the realms of Peace. This you know, but I remind you that you may ever abide under the Law of the Kingdom in Love Response to our KING.
As you have entered into the Peace of the Prince of Peace, having left the tomb behind, you are granted the privilege of growing in Grace and in Stature until you may know the maturity of function in the Spirit of the Living Christ. Abide in patience and “Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
As you have entered into the Kingdom, you have become Angels before my KING on earth, and as you are Angels of the Kingdom, the Angels’ Song reveals the attitude of the Angels—the spirit and attitude in which the Angels of the Kingdom abide in relationship to all things whatsoever. Would you sing that Angels’ Song, that you may know its spirit. (All sang the “Angels’ Song of Praise”) This is the attitude of all those who dwell in the Kingdom, in relationship to all things whatsoever. Abide ye in the attitude of the Angels’ Song, that thy growing into maturity may be swift and sure.
Remember what I have told you before, that having entered the Kingdom you will not be able to see all the Things of the Kingdom or to understand, but, rather, to abide in Peace under the Law of the Kingdom in the attitude of the Angels’ Song. There is joy this morning, joy in my heart and yours and in all Responding Ones everywhere. As we say “Good Morning” in the realm of Peace in humbleness before the Prince of Peace, there is a great joy, but it is a solemn joy, for, having entered in we are at the place where we now begin to let God's Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Having proven that the Kingdom is at hand, having entered into it, we must next prove that in true Polarity and Love Response to our KING we can abide in the Kingdom. It is not for a few moments sojourn that we have come hither; it is to live, to live in the Spirit of the Living Christ.
There is no need that I should welcome you into the Kingdom, for you have received your welcome already in that moment when your whole being was flooded with Peace and all sense of burden rolled away. The unutterable Love of our LORD and KING which floods one's being when one enters into His Peace cannot be described one to another; it cannot be told, and for each there is that in it which is different from every other. It is that in which we walk with Him and talk with Him in the Garden, communing in His Spirit. Abide ye in that Peace which He left on earth that we might enter into it, even as He said: “My peace give I unto you.”
In the Kingdom it is not the light of the sun or the moon or the stars that gives us the light that is in our hearts and that shines through our lives, but the LORD GOD giveth the Light that is made manifest that we may walk in the Light as Children of the Light now and forever.
And now I would consider with you how it is that you have entered into your first Communion Service in the Kingdom this Easter Morning. Let us note how human beings read their own ideas into the words that are recorded. The Bread and the Wine were blest in the Upper Room long ago, but this into which you have entered is the Upper Room of which that was the symbol—the first abiding place in the Kingdom. Those who were gathered there were supposed to be His Body. He blest bread and gave it unto them saying, “This gathering, you who are here, are My Body. This is My Body; partake ye of it”—not the bread, the symbol of conveyance—"this little group, this little fruitage of My Ministry. Partake ye of My Body, enter into it, be a part of it. Partake ye of it”—the invitation to be a part of His Body. It is for this cause that you have come forth from the tomb and passed through the Gate into the Upper Room, that you may receive that Bread blest by our LORD and KING and know that this, not the bread but those to whom it was given, those to whom it is given, this is my Body. Receive of the Bread I have blest and partake of the privilege, the opportunity, of being Members of my Body. It is for this cause that you have gathered in the Upper Room. Let no one betray that cause, for he who betrays passes to his own Gethsemane.
Those who betray cannot put our LORD in a Gethsemane any more
That sweet and gentle invitation—the Master said that He would not partake of the symbol of the Wine until He could sit down with us and have it fresh in the Kingdom, a New Body in the Kingdom, not a body wandering in the darkness of the world, not a body bound in the tomb, but a New Body of those who should follow Him out of the tomb and into the Kingdom, and with them, with you, He drinks of the Wine of Life as you receive the invitation and accept it—to partake of the opportunity to be in Membership in His Body. The Wine, the symbol of His Life—”This is the symbol of My Life; partake ye of My Life. This is the symbol of My Body; partake ye of My Body”—not merely the symbol but the actual Living Reality of that which is symbolized, for this morning as you have entered into the Peace of my KING and come through the Gate in the Resurrection and the Life, you have found in that Life of the Resurrection the Wine of which He spoke, the Wine which He blest and blesses now, that you may be in the Body and share the Life.
Entering into the Kingdom you know that it is in the Body, in your body on earth as a Member of His Body on earth in the Kingdom, that you share the Life, and while you have not matured in the Kingdom, and while you do not know all the ways of the Kingdom, and you have much to learn—for you are entering the Kingdom as a little child—you are, nevertheless, sitting down with our LORD in the Kingdom, even as our LORD took the little child and set him upon His knee. You are sitting down in the Kingdom with our KING. Having entered into His Peace, this is the Communion Service, the Communion that awaits you and which you now share in the Kingdom.
It is all so simple and easy that the human mind is likely to say, “It is too simple, too easy.” It is not that sort of thing which the mind tried to make you think it was, but for so long you listened to your mind instead of the Spirit. The Master said, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” If the mind is inclined to be disappointed because it did not foresee or because your experience is not thus and so, you can silence the mind with the word, “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 and serve Him,” and as this was true before you left the tomb behind, so is it likewise true as you have entered the Kingdom.
Let the LORD move you, the Members of His Body, from Glory Unto Glory. Let the LORD use His Body according to His Will and all will be well, and you shall continue to abide in the Communion, the Communion of the Body, the Living Body and its LORD, the Communion of the life expression made manifest in the Body of the LORD, Communion in the Kingdom that no longer needs the symbol, for “When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.”
It is good to bid you “Good Morning,” this Easter Day in the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace, but having entered His Kingdom you will be tested and proven as you grow and strengthen and mature. If in any moment you think to bring your LORD under judgment, if in any moment you think you can improve upon God's Way, if in any moment you wander down by the forbidden tree and listen to the whisperings of the serpent, the result now would be the same as it was in the beginning, for those who eat of the forbidden tree cannot eat of the Fruit of the Tree of Life. Remember who you are and where you are and let no patterns of the past, the dead past, call to you from out of the tomb to make you go rushing back into the darkness. Let the dead bury their dead.
Those who are in the Body in the Kingdom love the LORD their KING, and in that love they know what it means to trust and obey, and they know that being in the Kingdom they can afford to be patient.
Impatience is of that outer world which you have left behind. The people of the world are in such a rush, running hither and thither. They think they have no time to wait and they are right, for they cannot afford to wait. They have but a little moment that is empty and they must desperately try to squeeze something out of that emptiness. No, they cannot have a sense of being in a position where they can afford to wait, but in the Kingdom we can afford to wait, even though they cannot. If the fullness of perfection in outworking has not yet appeared in some point, we who are in the Kingdom can afford to wait. Those who are not of the Kingdom cannot know what it means to be in a position where they can afford to wait, to be patient, to let it work out, as can those who have entered in and passed through the Gate.
Remember.
Remember who you are.
Remember to whom you belong.
Remember where you are.
And remember that you can afford to wait.
Those who live in the world have such a little span, engulfed in so much emptiness, that they must desperately seek to squeeze something from the husks, but as you have ceased being a swineherd running about after the foulness of the outer mind that you left behind in the tomb, you have arisen and returned to the Father where you may partake of the Feast in the Kingdom.
As you were returning, O Blessed Ones, returning as a prodigal son, the Father saw you afar off and came forth and met you and brought you into His House, and having returned you are no longer prodigal, you are no longer a swineherd. You are to forget the attitudes, the habits and the feelings of the swineherd, for these are the things you left behind in the tomb. The swineherds of the world cannot afford to wait. They must desperately try to squeeze something from the husks of being, but as you have returned Home to the Kingdom, returned to your Father's House, you can afford to wait. If you hearken to the whispering of the serpent in some unguarded moment, this old conditioning of attitude could catch you unawares, and if the serpent whispering from the tree can make you forget who you are and to whom you belong and where you are, so that you forget that you can afford to wait, he can entice you into self-activity which would cause you to be removed out through the Gate. Even if that should be, if you should repent truly and return and hold steady before the Gate, yet may you enter in again.
And the LORD knoweth whether all of you here gathered have entered in. I speak not to those who have not, but that my words may be encouragement to those as they listen, if there be any such. This morning I speak to those who have entered in. But this I say to those who have not yet entered into that Peace: “Hold steady, remain faithful and true beyond the Gate. Let self die and remain in the tomb and you shall yet join us in the Kingdom.” But in the Kingdom these are the things to remember as you abide under the Law of the Kingdom.
Remember who you are—not a swineherd feeding on husks but a Member of the Body of your LORD and KING. Remember who you are. Remember where you are—not in the mud wallows of the past before you came through the tomb, but in the Kingdom. Remember, above all things, to whom you belong, for you are not your own. Remember who you are, where you are, and to whom you belong, and remember that the key to perfect fulfillment in the Kingdom, having obeyed the Law of the Kingdom, is this: Be patient. Do not run before the LORD. Do not try to shape the patterns of fulfillment. Do not think, as the swineherds think, that you have no time. Remember that in the Kingdom we can afford to wait. The world cannot; the people of the world cannot; those who are beyond the Gate cannot, but this is fundamental in the Kingdom—abiding in the Kingdom we can afford to wait, and it is in this that you shall be tested. If the consciousness of the swineherd remains, it shall be revealed. I do not mean by this that we shall not be diligent about our Father’s Business. I do not mean that there shall be loitering and foolishness. I do not mean that there will not be activity. There will be more activity, more diligent, more focalized, more effective, than ever before, a living expression of activity in those who abide in the Kingdom, but we are living in the Kingdom where Eternity has meaning.
Consider—years ago it seemed, from any outer standpoint, that I could not afford to wait for the Body to come through the Gate as God Ordained, that I would be wise to make a semblance of a Body, so that we could have more members, so that we could have more money, so that we could have more of this, that and the other thing. Every pressure came to bear to make it appear that I could not afford to wait for this Body to come forth from the tomb, real and true, but that I should do something to give a semblance of more people, more money, better facilities, a greater number of those who have talents, and so on and on and on, that out of that we could then develop the real Body. Oh, so many tried to make it appear that we could not afford to wait. So many dropped away because they said, “We are not getting anywhere. We cannot afford to wait; we must rush out and find this thing for which we long.” Oh, they could not afford to wait. No, the swineherd consciousness can never afford to wait.
But you see, I could afford to wait, though the number of those working with me became so very small, though the financial provision seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, though everything seemed to be against us, though it seemed, from a human standpoint, to be impossible, though so many became discouraged and turned away, though so many found fault and criticized, judged one another, and judged me. O yes, I was the one who could afford to wait, and you were the ones who finally settled down and stopped struggling, stopped living in the swineherd consciousness long enough to hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit calling you to awaken from the darkness of the tomb and come forth into the Light of a New Day. Yes, I could afford to wait. I have proven it. And this is what I mean when I tell you to remember you can afford to wait. If the whispering of the serpent tries to make you think that there is a short-cut, that there is something you can do to help God’s Plan along, remember that the serpent is a liar.
Consider now, this Resurrection Morn, that that is what Judas thought. He loved his Master. He would not have knowingly, willingly, done anything to hurt his LORD. He had seen his LORD perform miracles. He had seen Him disappear from those who thought to take Him. He had seen his LORD show Great Power. He had seen his LORD do things to defy human understanding. And yet, his LORD was loitering. His LORD was not taking over the Kingdom. His LORD was not making the best use of all His Power and abilities. His LORD was not taking advantage of all His opportunities to do this thing right. So, the whisper of the serpent came into Judas’ mind and he said, “Now, there is a way you can help the LORD. You know His Power. You cannot hurt Him. He can disappear. He can do anything. He just needs a little help so He can take advantage of the opportunity.” O no, he did not intend to hurt the LORD. He intended to force the LORD to use His Power, to take advantage of the opportunity of the hour. What did he do? He did not think that those coming with staves and swords could touch his LORD. He thought he knew better how to do it than the LORD did. He was just going to help Him along.
In this, then, we have the outstanding example of all history of what I mean when I say, “Remember, you can afford to wait.” The Master could afford to wait. He had things to do. It was working out if they had been patient, but Judas had to hurry it up—and he did. And when he saw what he had done, he went and hanged himself. Judas forgot that under the LORD's Hand he could afford to wait, that if it seemed as if some opportunity was slipping by, the LORD had a better purpose, a larger view.
Blessed Ones, as I greet you this morning in the Kingdom, I bid you remember who you are, where you are, to whom you belong, and remember that in the Kingdom you can afford to wait. You will find that these things, truly remembered, will guard you against all the whisperings of the serpent that may arise, that you may abide in the Kingdom into which you have entered, and that you may fulfill that to which you are Called in the LORD.
Blessed Ones, as we move about those tasks that are given to us in the Kingdom, doing those things to tend and to keep the Garden, and to prepare the way for those who shall follow after you, abide ever in the attitude of the Angels’ Song, and you will notice that the attitude revealed in the Angels’ Song, maintained, will automatically cause you to remember who you are, where you are, to whom you belong—and that you can afford to wait. Others may not be able to afford it. O, the time is desperately short for so many and they must do so much in such a little time, but they do not know what it is to be in the Kingdom, where you can afford to wait. Once more I bid you sing, yea stand and sing, the “Angels’ Song of Praise”. Peace be unto you under the Law of the Kingdom in the Name of the Prince of Peace. Aum-en.

I Have Finished The Work
I Come To Thee
Uranda April 8, 1950 pm Sunrise Ranch
It is a joy unspeakable and full of glory to see you, according to your responses and according to the degrees of your letting go, coming under the Law of the Kingdom, that I may receive you Home in the Kingdom in the Name of my LORD. That self which has been crucified in you and which has been placed in the tomb shall surely, according to the faithfulness of your Polarity, come forth in the Resurrection and the Life, not the old self that it was, for the former things are passing away, and in the Name of my LORD and KING all things are being made new.
You are not now what you were, nor are you yet that which you shall be, for entering into the Kingdom you shall move from Glory unto Glory in the outworking of the cycles of Being which are ordained by the Creator; and you begin to know that the Creator is not far away but is at hand in the Kingdom that is at hand, and you are privileged to share in the wonder of His Creative Work whereby all things are made new.
But as you move through the Gate into the Kingdom according to your responses and to the degree of your letting go, remember that the forbidden tree is in the Garden, and let it alone, that you may abide in the Kingdom and go no more out; for thy greatest service and thy necessities in the fulfillment of the Will of God on earth are that you should abide in the Kingdom and go no more out, for thus it is that our LORD and KING shall be glorified and thus it is that you shall be the Blessing which you ought to be to the children of men.
Peace be unto you, that walking in the Way, the Truth and the Life you may know in fulfillment the joy of service rendered, and tonight according to your faithfulness in ministry, you have a share with me in that Harvest which is being made manifest whereby the good wheat is garnered into my Father's Barn. Rejoice ye therefore, for, as ye come into the Kingdom and abide there under the Law of the Kingdom, you are workers in the Harvest Field in Spirit and in Truth, and we give thanks to the LORD of the Harvest that He hath sent, and is sending, workers into the Harvest—for it is white, ready for the reaping, and though as yet the laborers are few, yet shall the Harvest be gathered into the Barns of our LORD and KING, and all things shall work together to perfection in and through and for those who love and serve my KING in Whose Name I speak to you tonight.
I look forward to meeting with you here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. In the interval let the working of the Spirit continue in you, that as you gather, you may know the Reality of the Resurrection and the Life. This is a solemn hour. This is a solemn night in which you are privileged to experience in your own hearts that outworking, that coming of the Kingdom on earth in you to the degree that you have truly repented and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In your gathering in the morning leave the grave clothes behind, for they will not have any place here; and if, with the coming of the morrow, you are looking in the tomb for your Lord you will look in vain, for He will not be there.
The hour has come when your Lord made manifest is to return to that Place which He left nearly four years ago [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2022/09/we-are-not-in-old-world-any-more.html] to make it possible for you to become Members of the One Christ Body. He has walked with you through these months and years, and now, if you would walk with Him you must come where He will be—into the Kingdom. I can say, as my KING before me said, “I have finished the work,” in these outer realms of being and now I return to my Point in the Kingdom, and the Way is opened whereby all who will may return with me; and I shall not return empty-handed to stand before my KING.
Blessed are they who shall, by the dawn of tomorrow's light, have come to a realization of what it means to pass through the Gate and enter into that Kingdom that is near at hand, that there they may abide under the Law of the Kingdom, and, “There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth or maketh a lie.”
The hour has come when the shell of self which you have protected in time past with such struggles must be left in the tomb, for it is not what you are in Reality. You have no need of it when you shall have passed through the Gate. This is that hour toward which the prophets of all ages have looked since the fall of man. This is that hour which our Master Himself hoped to bring into manifestation, but those who walked with Him in that day would not let it be so. I have come in His Name and that which was refused then is now established for those who shall let go and let it be so.
The Kingdom is at hand, and all they who are ready to pass the Sword of the Angel may enter in. As it was when man first fell, so is it today. The Angel stands at the Gate with the Sword which turns every way, and you who shall receive this Gift tonight as the first-fruits of them that sleep shall be in the Kingdom as representatives of all who shall follow after, that all who will may hear the word: “Arise from thy sleep and share in the Resurrection and the Life.”
There are in the world tens of thousands who are asleep in Christ. They do not know that the Resurrection Morn is at hand, but as they abide faithful and true, sleeping in Christ and not being asleep in the adversary, they shall in season hear the Call and awake.
The Angels are working in the tomb, and shall work; and for each one who lets go the stone shall be rolled away, but before the stone can be rolled away, each must be set free in the tomb from the grave clothes that bind, and none can set himself free. The Angels of the Lord are sent to remove that which binds, and so shall it be for those who are awake in the tomb. For those who sleep it shall be as the Master said to the sleeping disciples: “Sleep on.” The Angel is commanded to set free those who are awake to the Dawn of the Resurrection Morn.
I have opened to you the Way, the Truth and the Life, and all things needful to you have been made known unto you according to the Master's Promise and according to the Commission I received at His Hand. I have finished the work and now it is for you to let the Holy Spirit work in you. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-one-great-intercessor.html]
In the silences of your own souls let it work. Let the cycles of the Spirit work in the silences of your soul, for much speaking about it will distort its expression in and through you, and the words of your lips cannot convey that which is in your hearts, nor at this point in your progress give proper form to the workings of the Spirit in you. It is not by words this night that you shall experience fulfillment, for even the words of prayer and devotion as you have used them in the past will not be sufficient tonight. It must be more than that.
Let the cycles of the Spirit work in the silences of your soul, that the work may be completed in the tomb. You cannot now tell God what to do. You need not try to convey anything to God by the words of your lips. He does not need it, and if you try you will spoil it. Utterance in the Spirit will come in season after you have come forth from the tomb and entered the Kingdom and learned to abide therein under the Law of the Kingdom—but the babe newborn is not able to speak.
I thank my LORD and KING that you are here, that you have come to this hour. That love wherewith you have been loved has drawn you and compelled you along the Way and now you know that you are not your own. You know that you cannot roll the stone away, and only perfect love and trust can serve you now. Wait upon the Lord. Let your minds and hearts be stayed on Him, for if the fearful thoughts of the tomb pervade your minds it will not be well with you. You are in the tomb, bound hand and foot in the grave clothes, but struggling against them will not release you from them, and beating your fists or your head against the stone at the mouth of the tomb will not remove it. You are not your own.
By the Grace of my LORD and KING the beginning of the Day of Resurrection is at hand. I am returning Home. Who among you shall join me the other side of the Gate tomorrow morning? A welcome shall await you there. Between now and then that which takes place must be in the silences of your own soul. This you shall pass alone. No one can carry you through in the ordinary sense, but the Love of God shall enfold you and you shall not be alone.
Leaving behind the old, look not back. Look to that Light which thou shalt see upon the other Shore. There is a way that is in darkness before you. Look not back but look to the Light that is established in the Kingdom for you. Waver not but abide under the Law of the Kingdom.
What more can I say than I have said? You know the love wherewith I have loved you and love you still, and now I say “Goodnight” to you over here that I may say “Good Morning” to you over there. Repent and be baptized. Abide under the Law of the Kingdom, and the Love of God shall carry you through. Tonight you are to prove the words that I have spoken to you through the years: Let go. Let go of the old; let go to the new; for the former things are passed away, and behold, I create all things new.
This one thing more I bid you remember. As you remain impersonal toward the unreal in yourself or another, you will be unmoved by that over which you should have dominion. Rejoice and let the Reality that IS be the Spirit of your lives, and in the Name of my LORD and KING I bless you in body and mind and heart and soul, that you may let God’s Will be done in fullness on earth, now and forever.
O Father, I thank Thee that Thy Spirit enfolding these Blessed Ones is in every case sufficient, that not one has any need to hearken or in any way to give heed to the whisperings of the serpent which would bring discouragement or turning aside. I thank Thee that the Way is prepared that these Blessed Ones may prove this night that they are able to abide in Love Response to Thee without listening to the lies of the serpent which spring from the forbidden tree, that, passing through the Gate, they may abide in Thy Kingdom forever. O Father, I thank Thee that it is so, and Holy Father, I come to Thee.
