“The Creator Son, in the flesh, revealed God to men; the Spirit of Truth, in the heart, reveals the Creator Son to men. [. . .] When Jesus was on earth, he lived his life as one personality — Jesus of Nazareth. As the indwelling spirit of the “new teacher,” the Master has, since Pentecost, been able to live his life anew in the experience of every truth-taught believer.” [UB 194:3.1]

Thought Adjuster: “The day of Pentecost marked the onset of a divine intervention of great magnitude. Humankind was blessed with the threefold bestowal of the indwelling presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And it is still ongoing. They bring back into their loving fold their scattered flock in great need of their shepherdship.

Can you grasp the positive impact that such precious individual gifts can have on your life? Have you gratefully acknowledged by letting them work their magic within you? “[The term] “baptism of the spirit,” which came into such general use about this time, merely signified the conscious reception of this gift of the Spirit of Truth and the personal acknowledgment of this new spiritual power as an augmentation of all spiritual influences previously experienced by God-knowing souls.” [UB, 194:2.10]

The Father will never infringe on your free will prerogative but one thing has been made crystal clear by Jesus whose spirit now indwells you as the Spirit of Truth: “Ask and you shall receive.”

The Worlds on the Road to Perfection

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “The Worlds on the Road to Perfection.”

Message received by Lytske.

The Beloved: “The deepest and most secret thoughts and desires are known on High. Not a single cry or thought is ever ignored, but only the worthwhile ones are registered, while the dross eventually falls away, leaving the gleaming nuggets of spiritual import. This will help foster the character building begun on the earth plane to be continued on the next level of existence on the morontia worlds.

Material death is not the magic door through which you pass and find yourself on the other side to being ‘in the blink of an eye’ perfect. This is an incorrect belief. The humans on this planet have not seriously practiced the discipline of thought control. Many live on, seemingly unaware of how they can improve themselves by thinking more positive thoughts.

It is forever true that ‘thoughts held in mind, produce after their kind,’ and ‘as a man or woman thinketh, so he or she becomes.’ It is extremely important to think positive, loving thoughts and banish negative and judgmental ones. I know that we have spoken about this before, but each thought creates new tracks in the material brain, which reflect everywhere in the material body.

In this fashion, the positive or the negative thought stream manifests itself in the body, and discomfort of any kind can thus be seen as a pressure release valve. The material body is a very delicate instrument that responds in kind to the workings of spirit in that body. It is very unkind to purposely defile your body-temple with harmful habits and addictions.

The purer, more loving way one thinks and lives, the greater will be the benefits for the next stage of existence, where many more necessary corrections of character are made on the worlds on the road to perfection.

In all things, keep it simple. Practice cleanliness and purity of thoughts and habits. Pray for your thoughts to be brought into a higher conscious awareness of Me, so that I can better help you to attain the ultimate goal of perfection, for you to be found worthy to stand in the presence of the Creator.”

“Jesus lived on earth and taught a gospel which redeemed man from the superstition that he was a child of the devil and elevated him to the dignity of a faith son of God.” [UB,194:2.1]

Thought Adjuster: “After his death, his Spirit of Truth reiterated the same liberating proclamation.

Jesus’s principal message DURING his human incarnation was the revelation that human creatures ARE faith children of God. He proclaimed it straightforwardly as a fact, not a prophecy whose fulfillment depended on him enduring an ignominious death. How could an unconditionally-loving God who never rescinds his status as a Father toward his ignorant, unruly, or misled children be labeled as bloodthirsty?

Sadly, “[Jesus’s] life in the flesh, together with his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection, presently became a new gospel of the ransom which had thus been paid in order to purchase man back from the clutch of the evil one — from the condemnation of an offended God.” [UB, 194:2.8]

The following statement about the Spirit of Truth brings the point home: “The first mission of this spirit is, of course, to foster and personalize truth, for it is the comprehension of truth that constitutes the highest form of human liberty. Next, it is the purpose of this spirit to destroy the believer’s feeling of orphanhood. Jesus having been among men, all believers would experience a sense of loneliness had not the Spirit of Truth come to dwell in men’s hearts.” [UB, 194:2.2]

Ponder these soul-nurturing and mind-enlightening facts. Focus on the practical soul-growth promoting teachings of Jesus as it is the reason why he came to LIVE among men. His living legacy blesses a multitude with life-changing truth.”

The Faith of Jesus

Alabama, US of A, April 17, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Faith of Jesus”

Message received by Oscar. 

Thought Adjuster: “The faith of Jesus allowed him to face very painful situations without falling into discouragement and despair because he lived with confidence in the Father's care and His infinite love and mercy. Jesus knew very well that nothing could truly happen to him and that his life was in the hands of his Father; therefore, nothing and no one could take it from him. Thus, he knew how to face death as one who knows that after the bitter drink of today, the spiritual rewards of tomorrow await.

This certainty is available to all human beings who decide to nurture their faith and make it dynamic and alive. Although you live in this world and are in some way subject to its ups and downs, you can be assured that what you truly are will never end and that every challenge you face during your life can be overcome with the Father's help. No matter how great the problem or how immense the suffering, for those who have a living faith, the hope of a better future is a reality.

Now consider, how would you live your life if fear were not the main force driving your decisions? Fear can be deceptive. Many who consider themselves brave are true slaves to their fears and unfounded anxieties. He who fears facing his enemies head-on is afraid, but this is just one form of fear. Fear also manifests in those who constantly strive to present a false image of themselves for fear of not being accepted by others. Those who don’t express their opinion because they don’t want to go against the majority's ideas also fear. Those who don’t defend what is right to avoid ridicule and shame also fear. Those who fight to maintain their social, political, or economic status to have an advantage over their peers are full of fear. Those who are full of distrust and do not let their brothers and sisters into their hearts to share their affection and friendship are also afraid.

Fear is one of the greatest and most widespread evils in this world. It is perhaps a consequence of the orphaned life that many have lived due to the consequences of planetary isolation. However, the relationship of mortal children with their Creator Father has never been interrupted. None of you were ever abandoned, and the Father himself cares for you, guides you, and offers you the inspiration and comfort you most need. There is nothing to fear. Your lives will never end if you so desire. Your position in God's family has never been compromised. There is nothing you can do to displease the Father and make him abandon you. This simply is not possible. But there is much you can do to draw closer to God, learn to know Him, and experience His friendship and divine love. It is simply your desire to find the Father that promotes the great changes that will eventually make you exalted beings like God.”

Seek to Become Like a Little Child

Urantia, December 7, 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Seek to Become Like a Little Child.”

Message received by Lytske.

The Beloved: ‘Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven,’ was the injunction of your Master Jesus, when He walked the earth more than 2000 years ago. This saying has been grossly misunderstood and never seriously put into practice.

It simply means to have a trusting, happy faith in the loving over-care of your heavenly Parents, like a well-balanced child trusts its earth parents, who provide for his or her mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. The spiritual nature of the child ought never to be forced into the adult system of beliefs with its dos and don’ts. Children, by their very nature, will naturally develop a trusting faith-filled relationship with the Creator God, according to the example set before them by their parents.

A child learns by example, and does not seek to know the future, as it intuitively knows that this will come to pass as surely as night follows day. It is learning to trust and have faith that this is so, as it daily accepts this outworking of natural laws laid down by the design of the Creators.

To seek to know the future is to rob faith of its sweet fulfillment. ‘According to your faith, it shall be done unto you,’ said Jesus, when He healed the people. It was their personal faith which accomplished the healing.

Do become more carefree, and know that all is well. Become less critical and judgmental, be open and friendly towards all. Learn from the example of the Master, who was never in a hurry, and had an uplifting word of encouragement for all He met in His travels.”

Seek to become like a little child that is filled with glad expectations and does not question its parents loving over-care.
