Do we need salvation because of sin? No, please. We were not created with eternal life inherent within us. We were created mortals, with the potential of becoming immortals IF we accept to wholeheartedly commit ourselves to the eternal divine plan and purpose of God. Embracing the divine love with all our hearts and dedicating our lives to his love is a signal to God that we are totally willing to align with, and eternally commit to his eternal divine plan and purpose. </span></p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(15, 15, 15); color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
As a result, he gives us the free gift of salvation and eternal life. This eternal life is the God-kind of life that empowers us and enables us to literally live forever. In order to fulfill your role in his eternal divine plan and purpose, you have to live forever. So, he gifts you his eternal life. Those who refuse to align with his will and way, ultimately cease to exist. He will not or cannot force them to work with him forever. So, goodbye. They are gone.
Yes, our salvation delivers us from sinning or living in sin. Nevertheless, even if Lucifer had never rebelled and even if we humans do not do very terrible things, we will still be in need of salvation and eternal life. To receive salvation is to be crowned a bonafide spiritual son of God. To receive eternal life or to have eternal life fully functional in your life is to be crowned with the ability to live forever, endlessly, ruling and reigning with the everlasting, ever-loving, all-powerful heavenly Father, the First Source and Divine Center.
We mortals are not created or born with eternal life inherent within us. And we were not born having the absolute, eternal perfection of God. Same goes for some celestial beings like Lucifer. If Lucifer and all other unseen beings who rebelled had the absolute, eternal perfection of "the Father in heaven", they would never ever had rebelled or sinned. The ability or tendency to sin would not have been present. Some of God's children or creatures, terrestrial and celestial alike... ...some... ...were intentionally not created with the absolute, spotless, infallible perfection of God. They were created with varying degrees of perfection and then commanded to EXPERIENCE LIFE and grow or evolve to become perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect. And there are amazing reasons for this. </span><div style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(15, 15, 15); color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(15, 15, 15); color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is very, very important for us to understand these things.

It is estimated that there are between 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Each galaxy has trillions upon trillions of planets and stars. We are definitely not alone. God (our Source) has revealed to those who care to listen that he has intelligent free will mortals in other planets - in trillions of planets.
Now, please, what is the requirement for salvation for people living in all these planets out there? It is LOVE - the wholehearted embrace of the divine love by faith that really ushers in the free gift of salvation and eternal life.
Urantia Book 15:14.8
"The grand universe number of your world, Urantia, is 5,342,482,337,666. That is the registry number on Uversa and on Paradise, your number in the catalogue of the inhabited worlds. I know the physical-sphere registry number, but it is of such an extraordinary size that it is of little practical significance to the mortal mind."
Jesus said he has sheep not of this fold or not of this world. Also, God, our heavenly Father can confirm for you that free will intelligent mortals exist in some other planets - if you ask him earnestly and sincerely. Please, have you ever asked God, the God of LOVE?</div>The Christ Michael Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12086460787726871079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930510361863887260.post-52004592621836347492023-10-24T14:22:00.000-04:002023-10-24T14:22:08.337-04:00The New Birth And Eternal Life<p><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, we all are sons of God - children of God. But you, a son of God, have to willingly, gladly, and wholeheartedly accept God's offer of salvation before you can experience </span><b style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the new birth</b><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. You</span><b style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </b><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">have to accept the status of sonship. Every human being, by just being a human being alone, is a son of God. But you are not yet saved - you are not yet a born again, born from above, born of the spirit, spirit-born son of God if by his grace through faith, you have not wholeheartedly embraced God's love and made a personal commitment to walk in his love. The salvation process is what really gets you to accept your status of divine sonship with God. This acceptance cannot and will not be forced upon you. </span></p><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Being a child or a son of God is automatic. But salvation is not automatic. Salvation is a free gift that you receive. It will not and cannot be forced upon you. When you receive salvation, you are spirit-born, you receive the baptism of the spirit Thought Adjuster, the still, small voice that is already living inside of you, in your mind - in the superconscious level of your mind, the Holy of Holies within you. Then you become a "faith son of God."</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">At salvation, your soul is immersed in the spiritual waters of God. You experience the new birth - the baptism of the spirit. You receive deliverance from evil, and you enter into the spiritual kingdom of God. Before salvation, you were just a son of God who had not yet been spiritually baptized into the spiritual kingdom of God. It is the gift of salvation that makes you to be a "faith son of God" and that enables you to actually and practically have eternal life. This eternal life is a spiritual God-kind of life that enables you to literally live forever in love, light, righteousness, and eternal service to God and to all of existences. Without eternal life, you - your soul cannot live forever. At some point, the soul will cease to exist (the soul literally dies - cessation of creature existence). To live forever, an individual must have eternal life. <img alt="💗" aria-label="💗" class="an1" data-emoji="💗" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f497/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /><img alt="🤍" aria-label="🤍" class="an1" data-emoji="🤍" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f90d/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /><img alt="💛" aria-label="💛" class="an1" data-emoji="💛" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f49b/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /> </div></span><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">+ + + <br /></div></span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div></span></span><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: black;">Urantia Book Paper 148, Section 4, "</span><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">Evil, Sin, and Iniquity</span><span style="color: black;">" </span></b></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto">Jesus, in <b>UB 148:4.8</b> said, "...The new birth—the baptism of the spirit—is essential to deliverance from evil and necessary for entrance into the kingdom of heaven, but none of this detracts from the fact that man is the son of God..."</div></span><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div></span></span><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Urantia Book Paper 40, Section 6,</b> <b>"The Faith Sons of God"</b> </span></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><div dir="auto"><b>UB 40:6.4</b></div><div dir="auto">"1.

Yes. Did Jesus cast out demons? Yes. However, since the day of Pentecost, demonic possessions cannot occur BECAUSE of the presence of the Spirit of Truth. Since the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth on all flesh, demonic possession ended. Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and sent his Comforter, the Spirit of Truth down to planet earth (Urantia) - poured out ON ALL FLESH. </span></p><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We don't have demonic possession anymore as we used to have before Pentecost (Urantia Book 77:7.</span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t83/1/16/1f60e.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">😎</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. What we have are cases of demonic oppression, not possession. There is a big difference. Strong or severe cases of demonic oppression may look like demonic possession, but they are not the same.</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">With demonic possession, rebel spirits are living inside the mind of the individual. This is not possible today because Thought Adjusters are now living in people's minds all over the world - in the minds of masses upon masses of people. Since Pentecost, Thought Adjusters (still, small voice within, the heavenly Father's spirit fragment) have been coming en-masse to indwelling mortals. Now add the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For a human being to be demon possessed or possessed by any rebel spirit, his Thought Adjuster has to leave him, and the Spirit of Truth has to leave as well. In addition, he has to be cut off from the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit as well as the loving ministry of the angelic hosts. Such a case is very, very difficult, if not almost impossible to occur today. This is my understanding of these things. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We should not confuse demonic oppression with demonic possession. They are not the same. Also, some cases are not even demonic oppression. They are medical problems, psychiatric problems, psychological problems, mental problems, etc. You need the right knowledge, wisdom, understanding, counsel, courage, intuition, and a worshipful soul (worship) to be able to know or discern the difference. The seven adjutant mind-spirits come in very handy here. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">+ + + </span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Freedom From Demonic Influence or Demonic Oppression</b></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">People cannot be possessed by demons or rebel spirit beings today. But they can be troubled by them. They can be oppressed. To totally prevent or overcome demonic oppression, you need to walk by FAITH and LOVE - divine love. In short, you need to immerse yourself in *the fruits of the spirit.* This is your surest and greatest guarantee of total, 100% </span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tf1/1/16/1f4af.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">💯</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> freedom from demonic oppression. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Today, some people, believers and unbelievers alike, are suffering from demonic oppression in one area of their lives or the other. They have allowed themselves, knowingly or unknowingly, to be entangled by negative energies, demonic, satanic spiritual circuits, demonic thought forms, etc... </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Such brothers and sisters can be totally free as they grow in walking in the fruits of the spirit and in spiritual power. A quicker way to bring freedom, from my own experience in ministry is for someone else of greater manifestation of spiritual power and fruits of the spirit to pray for them. However, please, this does not substitute for walking in the fruits of the spirit. Rather, they go hand-in-hand. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Pray for them and pray with them. Distance cannot hinder such a prayer of faith. Even if they are miles apart, the prayer will still work. If they are standing face-to-face to each other, prayer by the laying on of hands or stretching your hands towards the individual does wonders. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I have prayed for people face-to-face and seen deliverance from demonic strongholds in their lives, taking place. Sometimes, the person may fall down and start shaking violently. Sometimes, you may even hear the rebel spirits speak using the person's voice. This can happen even though the individual is NOT demon possessed. Sometimes, it's not even a rebel spirit speaking. Sometimes, it's the troubled mind of the person speaking... This is a little complex or complicated matter. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sometimes, I am taken up in the realm of the spirit; I travel long distances to meet people to pray for them and break demonic strongholds in their lives and in their communities. Sometimes, in a community, there may be negative, evil, demonic energies or circuits in a particular location, troubling the community. And God will send some faith-sons, faith-liberated souls: in the realm of the spirit, their souls with their Thought Adjusters will travel to the location and in partnership with other powerful and loving celestial beings, personalities and entities, they will shatter the negative, demonic energies to pieces and repurpose them to do good things. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Energy cannot be destroyed but it can be repurposed. It can be transformed and put to good use. Sometimes, the rebel spirits are not even literally present in a location, but their wicked energies or circuits are present. I know some Urantia Book students will argue against some of the things I have said. But I won't argue. Nothing beats practical, tangible experience. Just let me catch you one day face-to-face and then lay hands on you or have you see me lay hands on someone who is troubled by negative, demonic influence. Certain strongholds may manifest and be broken right before your eyes. Glory to God! </span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t50/1/16/1f525.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">🔥</span></span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6a/1/16/1f497.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">💗</span></span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t50/1/16/1f525.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">🔥</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">+ + + </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Here, below, we see that although people cannot be demon possessed today, it is possible for them to be oppressed or troubled by demons or rebel spirit beings.

It is so important to always submit to the leading of your indwelling spirit, Thought Adjuster!

Caligastia, your apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on Urantia to prosecute his nefarious designs, but he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence." </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please, take a close look at UB 53:8.6. Right there, we learn that a wicked, rebel spirit CANNOT enter your mind and CANNOT corrupt your soul EXCEPT you really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence. Sadly, there are some people today who actually really desire to be cursed with the wicked presence of unclean, demonic spirits. These people wholeheartedly and persistently give themselves over to devils.</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In such cases, the Thought Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth can leave that person. This makes it possible for a rebel spirit to enter the mind of the individual and to corrupt his soul. This is a very severe case of demonic oppression and can lead to demonic possession. Such cases are rare. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This is why I believe that even though demonic possession is a thing of the past, it is still possible IF someone really desires to be cursed with a demonic presence. Such a desire can get the Thought Adjuster and Spirit of Truth to leave. This makes the person open for all kinds of weird, demonic stuffs... </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">+ + +</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, please consider this twist:</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Rebel spirits can enter the mind of a man or a woman and terribly corrupt his or her soul IF HE OR SHE REALLY DESIRES TO BE CURSED WITH THEIR WICKED PRESENCE.</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, how much more, if you really desire to be blessed by God's glorious, loving, and all-powerful divine presence?</span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Some people say they want God's presence and mighty spiritual power! But they do not yet walk in SPIRITUAL POWER. The key is YOUR DESIRE!

The Father gave him that name AFTER he successfully completed his mortal incarnation mission. The heavenly Father highly exalted his Son, our Master Son, our Master Michael. Before he came to our world, he did not have the name above all names. The name above every other name in our universe carries with it, all power, all glory, all authority that cannot be contested. That name means unlimited and unrestricted power and authority in the very universe that our Master, Christ Michael created. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you understand that prayer is simply making a solemn, sacred petition AND THAT prayer is not worship, then you will easily appreciate and understand the power, value, blessings and/or advantages of using prayer as a tool to get things done. <img alt="🎇" aria-label="🎇" class="an1" data-emoji="🎇" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f387/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /><img alt="💗" aria-label="💗" class="an1" data-emoji="💗" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f497/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /><img alt="🤍" aria-label="🤍" class="an1" data-emoji="🤍" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f90d/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /><img alt="😇" aria-label="😇" class="an1" data-emoji="😇" loading="lazy" src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f607/32.png" style="height: 1.2em; vertical-align: middle; width: 1.2em;" /> </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In making solemn, sacred petitions or requests, sometimes you can call on or appeal to the power of the individual or individuals you are presenting your petition or request to.

In addition, there is this aspect of your being called the animal nature that cannot be eradicated by death. This animal nature exerts pressure on your soul. Your animal, carnal nature strives to dominate you. There is a spirit in you that is also striving for dominance. This is your spirit; the still, small voice within. Life in the heavenly realms is not going to be completely hassle-free because of the animal nature, the carnal nature, the mark of the beast in man. The tussle between the spirit and the flesh (or animal nature) is going to continue over there, in the heavenly abodes till the animal nature is completely gone. So, the more we overcome the beast in us while here on earth, the better for us. We also have to factor in the level of maturity of the soul. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #060606; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">In heaven, you will continue from where you left off on earth. You must reap what you sow. For example, if you refused or failed to learn the lessons of forgiveness; if you struggled with jealousy and envy; if you were not interested in more matured spiritual truths, etc, when you get to heaven, you will be made to face all the lessons you avoided or skipped while on earth. Death has no power to magically transform your soul. The soul must grow through experience. That is how you go from glory to glory. It cannot automatically happen. This is why people will have different rewards in the heavenly abodes. Hence, Jesus always advised, "Lay up treasures for yourself in heaven."</span></p><p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br />
This is where amazing personal relationship with God by way of relationship with the indwelling divine Thought Adjuster, your spirit, comes in. It is the spirit at work in us and with us that transforms us gradually, peeling off the animal nature and replacing it with the divine nature. This process yields amazing experiences and lessons for us and for the spirit and also for a vast, vast, vast universes upon universes with all its uncountable intelligent life! This mind boggling treasure throve of experiences are of eternal significance to the Paradise Trinity and everyone and everything else. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">When you get to the mansion worlds of glory and bliss, you will continue from where you left off, in dealing with the animal nature. Death has no magic or power to eradicate the animal nature. Physical death has no power to take care of a spiritual challenge. Death is just a tool that enables us to transition from this earth to the heavenly realms. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">All those who refuse to grow intellectually and spiritually on earth will have a rude awakening when they get to heaven because they will realize that all the discipline and lessons they refused to go through on earth will be patiently waiting for them in heaven. All the mental, emotional, spiritual, etc challenges that they dodged or avoided on earth will be waiting for them in heaven. To become perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect is not a piece of cake. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">I had a spiritual experience where I was taken to heaven and shown a gentleman who had died some years earlier and is now in heaven (the Father's house - mansion worlds). I saw him seating in a corner, sad and in deep thought. He was having a hard time over there. Yes, life there is fun, great, beautiful, blissful, etc. Yes, he had all that but in addition, he was finding some things very difficult to navigate through. And the reason is he had to deal with his animal nature; he had to confront all the lessons needed for him to grow spiritually - lessons that he dodged while on earth. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Heaven is a spiritual place. As a result, the more intelligent and spiritually minded we are, they more will be the enjoyment that we will experience. The less spiritual one is, the less will be the enjoyment. People will have to unlearn and relearn in heaven. Death has no power to miraculously remove all their stupid and false religious beliefs, etc. They will have to be taught aright in the schools in the heavenly worlds. And then, each one of them will have to make a decision whether or not to drop every wrong teaching, self-limiting tendencies, etc. If you drop them, you move on. If you don't, you'll be stuck till you are ready to drop them. Some people will even remain in mansion world number one (this is the "first heaven") for decades upon decades or even centuries - for as long as it will take for them to evolve to higher levels.</span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">It's just like someone comes to the United States of America from a very, very remote and backward village in a very backward country, far away. He didn't complete Elementary School or Primary School education before coming. For him to make quality progress in the United States of America, he will have to complete his Elementary School classes. And he cannot get a great job or task at a big company like Tesla. The most he can get is mopping floors or cleaning toilets in a fast-food restaurant. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">So, he will continue to mop floors for 10 years, 30 years, on and on - for as long as it will take him to complete Primary School and advance. Now, please, how will it look like, for example, for such a man to come to America and be satisfied with cleaning toilets or mopping floors for 10 years, 20 years, 40 years etc without receiving a promotion; without getting a pay raise; and living in a tiny rented room? </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">How will you consider such a brother if he tells you that he is fully satisfied with all that; and that he is just very happy to have entered the United States? Everybody around him is progressing; moving on to Secondary School and University; taking on greater responsibilities, becoming CEOs and buying big and beautiful houses; traveling to amazing sight seeing places in America; learning, growing and enjoying so much goodies - the good, great life that America provides. But over there, in one corner, you have a brother who is not progressing and is just happy to be in America... </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The truth is, very, very soon, his happiness and contentment will fade away. If he refuses to make progress, he will see himself for the fool that he has allowed himself to become. After some time, nobody will even tell him to put in more effort. He, himself, will slap some senses into his head! Otherwise, he will not be able to cope at all in America. This is like an analogy with regards to mortal souls who have gone to heaven. Hallelujah! This is why Jesus always emphasized that we should lay up treasures for ourselves in heaven; that we will be rewarded in heaven depending on our fruits or level of spiritual attainment; that each individual will reap what he or she sows. </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Peace and Blessings! </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">- Karo Akamune</span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">ChristMichaelCenter.org </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">= = = = = = = </span></p><p style="color: #141414; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>The Christ Michael Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12086460787726871079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930510361863887260.post-2056939885484002122022-05-24T18:50:00.000-04:002022-05-24T18:50:02.822-04:00 Cain Marries in the Land of Nod <p><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were people living in the land of Nod. There were human beings - different races and tribes in different parts of the world before Adam and Eve came. Nod was one of those places. When Adam and Eve came, they lived in a special area called, "The Garden of Eden". They belonged to a different race - the violet race. They were brought to earth from the heavenly realms and earthly bodies of flesh and blood were made for them. </span></p><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plan was for them to procreate and for their children to be marrying the humans who were already on earth; in order to upstep them biologically, intellectually, spiritually, etc. These humans have been living on earth for close to one million years prior to their coming; having evolved from animals - primates. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were two gardens of Eden. The first was abandoned after the "fall of Adam and Eve". Cain was born on the way to the location where the second "garden of Eden" was built. Abel was born in the second garden, less than two years after Cain's birth. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In summary, this is the backdrop. So, after Cain killed Abel, he left Eden; went to Nod. There, he married and lived amongst the people of Nod - the Nodites. He was able to find a wife there because humans were already on earth - in different parts of the world long before Adam and Eve came here. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cain's wife, Remona was his distant cousin - from his father's side. Cain's father was from the land of Nod. His name was Cano. Cano had sex with Eve - that's what led to the birth of Cain. And this is what led to the default or "fall" of Adam and Eve. The law from heaven said Adam and Eve were never supposed to have sex with the humans that were already living on earth before they came. They were to have sex with each other only and procreate. And then, their future generations will intermarry with the evolutionary humans. That was the original plan... </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eve was tempted and succumbed by engaging in sexual intercourse with a man from the land of Nod called, "Cano". This is what is represented figuratively in some sacred texts as partaking of the forbidden fruit. After Cain (the product of Cano and Eve) killed Abel (a product of Adam and Eve), he left his community, "the garden of Eden" and went to his biological father's community, "the land of Nod". There, he married his distant cousin from his father's side, a lady called, "Remona". Adam was not Cain's biological father. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"And so Cain departed for the land of Nod, east of the second Eden. He became a great leader among one group of his father’s people and did, to a certain degree, fulfill the predictions of Serapatatia, for he did promote peace between this division of the Nodites and the Adamites throughout his lifetime. Cain married Remona, his distant cousin, and their first son, Enoch, became the head of the Elamite Nodites. And for hundreds of years the Elamites and the Adamites continued to be at peace." - Urantia Book 76:2.9 </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>NB</b></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please, see the Urantia Book, <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.urantia.org&source=gmail&ust=1653518400344000&usg=AOvVaw2DzzJTJpMEMJT6Oxjd3sdW" href="http://www.urantia.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.urantia.org</a> </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paper 73 - The Garden of Eden</div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paper 74 - Adam and Eve</div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paper 75 - The Default of Adam and Eve</div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paper 76 - The Second Garden </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fellowship with us at the Christ Michael Center.

You have been struggling year in, year out. You will continue to struggle not until you begin to follow the divine leading, consciously or unconsciously. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This divine leading comes from the still small voice within you. This is your spirit. This is the heavenly Father's presence within you. This is your Indwelling Thought Adjuster. This is what some people refer to as, "your higher self". This is God's voice to your soul. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This your spirit is perfect and is God within you. It is this spirit that LEADS YOU. So, you need to know how to connect with your still small voice within. Then you will be surprised! You will begin to have amazing relationship with Christ, with the Holy Spirit, with holy angels, with the Melchizedek Order of Sons, etc, etc. </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is relationship with God the Father within you, by way of relationship with the still small voice within (i.e. your Thought Adjuster) that opens the door to very fruitful relationships with all other members of the family of God. This is because the Father is the First Source and Divine Center! </div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get into the habit of speaking to your spirit, to the still small voice within.

I saw our house on fire. The fire came from the very foundations, down, underground and shot up to the very pinnacle of the house - all around the house. It was a very powerful and beautiful wall of fire. And then all of a sudden, I too, caught on fire - from the soles of my feet up to the crown of my head. I saw myself, standing, looking at the house surrounded by a very powerful wall of fire and then, as I looked, I too caught on fire! But the fire did not burn or destroy the house. And the fire all over me did not consume, burn, hurt or destroy me. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After I woke up, I remembered the incidence of the police officers and fire fighters who literally, physically showed up at our house in response to a 911 call from one of my neighbors.

He told me of an account he read in a book about a certain preacher... ...How that the preacher narrated an incidence of his own house on fire but it was not a physical fire. To me, this was a confirmation that the 911 call was placed by someone whose inner eyes or spiritual eyes were opened; saw fire all over my house but didn't understand what he or she was seeing and then proceeded to dial 911. We live in a mysterious world.

They successfully became eternally one with their indwelling Thought Adjusters - eternal fusion, eternal oneness with the Father's spirit within, the still small voice within, the divine spark within. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And then ultimately reached Paradise - attained Paradise; became "perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect"; stood, as it were, face-to-face before God the Universal Father; received a very unique divine embrace; and were mustered into, "The Corp of the Finality". Finaliters are those who, in the Bible are called, "spirits of just men made perfect". (Hebrews 12:23) </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hebrews 12:23, "To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect," </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As we speak, there are finaliters present on Earth (Urantia). They are always here. And you can tell your Thought Adjuster that you desire to fellowship with them; to have direct spiritual encounters with them; to be ministered to, directly, one-on-one, by them, etc. Your request may be granted! Hallelujah! 💝🕊️🙏 </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Urantia Book 31:0.11, "One or more companies of the mortal finaliters are constantly in service on Urantia. There is no domain of universe service to which they are not assigned; they function universally and with alternating and equal periods of assigned duty and free service." Please, did you catch that? It has been revealed, <b>"One or more companies of the mortal finaliters are constantly in service on Urantia." </b>So much amazing experiences await you, a sincere and honest truth seeker! Oh! Glory! Hallelujah! 🎇💓🙏</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Please, note that finaliters are grouped in companies. A company of finaliters is made up of 1,000 individuals or beings. Of this 1,000, 990 are "glorified mortals". This means 990 members of each company of finaliters were once mortals or free will intelligent mortals. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These glorified mortals make up 990 of the 1,000 members of a finaliter company. The remaining slot of 10 are allocated to: </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Havona Natives.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Gravity Messengers. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Adopted Seraphim.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">4. Glorified Material Sons.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">5. Glorified Midway Creatures. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">6. The Evangels of Light.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And this is the reason why I said finaliters are, for the most part, folks who were once mortals. In each company of finaliters, 990 were once mortals.

You are an imperfect soul; you have a perfect spirit; and you live in an imperfect, mortal body. Your imperfect soul is destined to grow and evolve into becoming eternally one with your indwelling perfect spirit (your Thought Adjuster, Inner Voice) and then to eventually become a true spirit - a perfected spirit, becoming, "Perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The still small voice within you is your spirit and is God in you. This is your 💯 percent (100%) perfect Thought Adjuster, that lives in your mind, in the Holy of Holies of your mind - your superconscious mind, working in you to get you, your soul, to attain divine perfection. This indwelling spirit is here to lead you Godward. This Thought Adjuster, divine spark of God or candle light of God came from Paradise and will eventually take you to Paradise, on its way back to Paradise, if you cooperate. In the process of leading you to Paradise, you, your soul will experience tremendous transformations till you become a perfected spirit. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are so many lessons and blessings and opportunities for amazing growth and expansion in living in a world that is not yet perfect. These lessons and blessings are received and enjoyed by mortal and celestial beings alike. </span><span style="font-size: large;">These lessons and blessings and growth are very, very valuable in order for us, in partnership with divinity, to successfully carry out great tasks in eternity, in our eternal future. If we allow the Spirit of Truth to teach us and expand to us, the eternal divine plan and purpose of God, then everything will begin to make so much sense, as to why we are here on earth!

(Urantia Book 140:6.6)</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Of the spirit, your indwelling spirit, it is written, "At some time, during human sleep, has been temporarily detached from the mind of mortal incarceration to perform some exploit of liaison, contact, reregistration, or other extrahuman service associated with the spiritual administration of the world of assignment." (Urantia Book 109:2.6)</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">"Truly of the human race has it been said, “You are of God” because “he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.” Even in wrongdoing you torment the indwelling gift of God, for the Thought Adjuster must needs go through the consequences of evil thinking with the human mind of its incarceration." - Urantia Book 3:1.5 </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">At salvation, who gets born again: your soul or your spirit? Jesus said, "I am on earth solely to comfort the minds, liberate the spirits, and save the souls of men." Clearly, the Master made a distinction between the mind, the spirit and the soul. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Ezekiel puts it rightly in saying: the soul that sins, shall die. (Ezekiel 18:20) The prophet did not say the human spirit that sins shall die. Nowhere will you find God saying that your spirit, the still small voice within (1 Kings 19:12), can die or shall die. It's not possible because your spirit (Job 32:8) is perfect and came directly from the heavenly Father. And this same spirit returns to The Father at the death of your physical body. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">This spirit is God the Father within you and lives in the golden holy of holies deep within you or in the superconscious level of your mind. Sin does not exist there. It is perfectly clean in there. Pure. Golden. Pure, pristine gold. This is the Father's presence within. The First Source and Divine Center within.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">However, this spirit within - your spirit, depends on your will before it can act freely to bring all kinds of blessings to your total mind and your soul. The spirit will not force anything on you. Your cooperation is needed. You have to align your heart, your will and your way to that of God and to do so wholeheartedly. Then, the spirit will emerge from the innermost temple or innermost court within, to manifest greatly in your life: in your mind, your heart, your soul - to manifest through you mightily to the glory of God the Father. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The spirit sits at the citadel of your being - the citadel of the spirit, the throne within waiting patiently for you to grant permission. So, when you - your soul gets born again or born from above, the indwelling spirit fragment of God is liberated! In accepting the Father's gift of salvation, you have aligned your will with that of God. When you make a decision, to, as it were, surrender all to God, his spirit will latch onto your personality and your will to do more work in you, for you and with you. This is why you sense or perceive a great liberation of your spirit at the new birth (salvation). Your spirit is liberated NOT recreated. Liberate is the right word not recreate. Your spirit receives more freedom to soar and do so much more for you and through you. Your spirit, the Inner Voice, is, in that sense, set free. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">It is not that the spirit was in chains, in bondage, in darkness. No! There's no darkness in the holy of holies within. There's no darkness in the superconscious level of your mind. Only light! However, the inner spirit can be said to be restricted or incarcerated within you because of the limitations placed upon it for the very fact that it has come to live inside a circumscribed mortal body and by design, is dependent on your will or cooperation in oder to fully express itself through you. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">I have chosen to use the word, "it" for the indwelling spirit because by design, this spirit from the Father is "prepersonal". It has come into you with no personality of its own and is dependent on your personality to live through you. The still small voice is dependent on both your personality and your will in order to bless you mightily... ...Dependent or waits for you to use your will to align with its will - the will of God. These are some reasons why your spirit, your Thought Adjuster is said to be in the mind of mortal incarceration. The spirit is incarcerated in your mind. And will experience more and more liberation to do more work for you and through you, the more you align your will with the Father's will. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Please remember, your spirit does not get born again. It is your soul that gets born again or recreated (if you like that word). Your spirit cannot be recreated. That's God in you and God cannot be recreated. However, your spirit can be liberated! The spirit can be liberated in the context of the explanation above. </span></p>

Your body is not your real you. It is a vehicle, a house, a temple, a tool for your soul and spirit to express and exert themselves in a third dimensional realm like planet Earth. </span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #060606; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Your soul is your real you. Your soul exists in a realm between your body and your spirit. It impinges on or interacts with your body and your spirit more directly. It is your soul that is the YOU that continues to exist after your life on Earth is done. It is your soul that receives the gift of salvation; that gets born again or born from above. Your body does not get born again. Your spirit does not need salvation. <br />
</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #060606; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #060606; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Your spirit is pure and perfect. Your spirit has the perfection of "the Source" - God the Father. Your spirit came from the Father to live in you; to spiritualize your thinking; to help you to become perfect as the Father is perfect, slowly but surely. Your spirit is the image of God in you because it is an exact replica of God, miniaturized in a way you can contain. This is why this spirit is called the spark of God, the candle light of God, the still small voice, the divine fractal, the divine fragment of God in you. <br />
</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #060606; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p>

This is the highest dimension of your mind where sin does not exist. It is pure gold. It is far above your conscious mind, subconscious mind, etc. This is how God in his perfection, power, love and glory can live in you even when you give yourself over to ungodliness or unrighteous deeds. Even when you succumb to temptations, God is still in you because there's a place in you where evil, sin and iniquity cannot approach. You are "fearfully and wonderfully made" indeed! <br />

One Love! 💗<br />

It is a technique that you can use to have God latch onto your will (in line with his will) and then act through you. If you can understand this and put it to practice, you will work wonders in your behavior, character, life's goals, etc. Reflective thinking and effective, fervent prayer are two ways you can practically implement it. You have to read this over and over again and meditate on it to make sure you really grasp it, beloved: </p><p>👇👇👇🔥🔥🔥 </p><p>"...Education, training, and experience are factors in most of the vital decisions of all evolutionary moral creatures. But it is entirely possible for the indwelling spirit to make direct contact with the decision-determining powers of the human personality so as to empower the fully consecrated will of the creature to perform amazing acts of loyal devotion to the will and the way of the Father in Paradise..." - Urantia Book 67:3.7 </p><p><b>NB:</b> Please, you may have to read that again and again and meditate on it deeply; so you can really get it. The indwelling spirit mentioned there is the still small voice within. </p><p>+ + + </p><p>Let me attempt to explain some more, to the best of my understanding: </p><p>Let's say you have a problem with sexual lust or sexual immorality. Now, how can you evolve to a high place where you totally and completely overcome it? This is a place where you far transcend it. You live above it. And you do so easily. Please, how? Your level of education, training and experience on matters of sex play a big role in your ability to overcome sexual temptations or ungodly sexual desires. However, there's so much more. You can do far more with God's indwelling spirit or in partnership with divinity in addition to your education, training and experience. </p><p>There's a spirit in you - this spirit is the still small voice within; the Father's own divine presence in you. This is your Thought Adjuster. This spirit is all powerful but cannot arbitrarily act through you. It depends on your will and personality in order to fully act or function through you. You must grant permission. God will not force himself through you. </p><p>To grant permission, you must understand how to tap into your God-given power of decision-choice. This is the decision-determining powers of your personality. It's in you. You have it. You just have to tap into it. You need boldness to do this. You need strong will or a wholehearted consecrated will. You need to fully consecrate yourself with all your heart to tap into your "decision-determining powers" and to use it to align yourself to the will of God. In this case, align yourself with the total determination to stop looking at others with sexual lust. </p><p>Yes, your flesh may be weak. But no worries. Just totally commit yourself to the desire not to look with lust at others: man, woman, animal or whatever. And then you make your intentions known to God's spirit within you. You open your heart and mind and declare your intentions, holding firmly onto the power of your will; the power of your ability to make decisions. Don't put your focus on your flesh. Hold onto faith; focus on your will power; focus on your desire to do the right thing; and then call on your spirit or the Father's spirit within you to assist you. </p><p>The spirit will then, as it were, jump on your back, latch firmly and completely unto your decision-determining powers, bringing in the will and power of God the Father to you; joining God's will to your will; thereby making both wills to be one; and then ride on your personality - express or manifest the Father's will through your personality. This is when you will now witness the reality of the word of God that says, "It is not by your might; not by your power but by my spirit." The Father's indwelling spirit will latch onto your personality; jump on your back, as it were, and ride you to amazing victory. Hallelujah! 🙌🙌🙌 </p><p>So, each time you are confronted with a sexual temptation, the powerful manifestation of your will, married to the Father's will is going to be activated automatically. And the process of your spirit riding on your personality to victory will repeat itself. This is going to be happening over and over and over again and again. Your flesh that is weak will be made strong. <b>You will be empowered!</b> That's not going to be an issue for you anymore because the spirit has taken over. Glory to God! 🙌🙌🙌 </p><p>This is the same principle you can apply to any and all other challenges: be it negative challenges like challenges with impatience, unforgiveness, hatred, bitterness, drug and alcohol abuse, anger, etc, etc. You can also apply this same technique to positive challenges like challenges to be more effective with time management; challenges to build upon or improve on a good character trait you already have; challenges to excel at your place of work; challenges to do more in gospel ministry, etc, etc. </p><p>This principle, the principle of allowing your Thought Adjuster to ride on your decision-making powers, to empower your WILL, to fuse your will with the Father's will, is what I implemented to successfully and totally overcome any and all forms of sexual immorality. I lost the ability to look at women lustfully... </p><p>What I am saying here is a matter of fact. I know whereof I speak. I see it everyday operating in my life. </p><p>In addition, my spirit, my TA has borne witness to my soul that, yes, indeed, this is true. I had a vision. In the vision, God confirmed for me that true indeed, I don't look with lust at women anymore. And the year I achieved this was even mentioned: that I achieved it at the age of 35, in my 35th year of mortal existence on Earth. Hallelujah! </p><p>Prior to my 35th year, I actually didn't have a big problem with sexual immorality. However, sometimes, I would struggle... With education (sex education), training and experience AND in partnership with my TA, my indwelling spirit, I transcended all that. I'm 46 now. So, for the past 11 years, I have not engaged in or looked with ungodly lust at a woman. With God all things are possible! </p><p>This is not a matter of trying to convince people to believe my testimony. It is a matter of fact in my personal experience. And those who are willing to exercise faith and commit to the process, will believe and thrive! You can and should apply this same principle to everything. This is how you attain 100% "at-oneness", slowly but surely with your Inner Voice, the still small voice within, your TA - Thought Adjuster! Hallelujah! Glory to the First Father, the Father of fathers! 🙌🏾🙌🙌🏻</p> Sincerely, <div>Brother Karo Akamune </div>The Christ Michael Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12086460787726871079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930510361863887260.post-71559606012337758452021-09-29T14:50:00.006-04:002021-09-29T14:50:43.013-04:00 Discerning The Still Small Voice Within<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Discerning The Still Small Voice Within </b></span></p><p><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Your Thought Adjuster!</span></i></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is the still small voice? The still small voice within you is not your conscience; is not the Holy Spirit and is not the Son (Christ). The still small voice within you is the Inner Voice, the voice of God the Father to your soul. It is "God in man". This is your spirit - "the spirit in man". Some people say, "the higher self". </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the Bible, this is the voice that Elijah heard in I Kings 19:12,13. This is the voice that the little child, Samuel heard in I Samuel 3. This is the voice that manifested in an apparition above Jesus on the day of his physical water baptism and spoke, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” This is the still small voice that people from all walks of life, all over the world have heard, from deep within them. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Your still small voice, Inner Voice, Thought Adjuster, divine spark or pilot light always speaks to you from within you. From my experience, it's sometimes from within your belly or your belly area, deep within. Sometimes, the message seems to come from your mind - deep within. Sometimes, you may hear the Father's Voice around you, close to you. It can also manifest outside you, in an apparition, hovering above you. This happened to Jesus at the river Jordan on the day of his baptism. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Similar apparitions sometimes happen to people around the world in their personal spiritual experiences. I had a divine encounter where this indwelling spirit of the Father manifested in an apparition, hovering above me. The spirit took the form of a total and complete golden figurine or statuette of a bald male. Pure, pristine, perfect gold from top to bottom, face looking down at me. Sweet anointing like electricity or oil was flowing up and down repeatedly all over me. It was electric! It was energizing! It was very, very powerful! Hallelujah! </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "Apple Color Emoji"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">🙌</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "Apple Color Emoji"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">❤️</span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"The Voice" always speaks from within, deep within. If you hear a voice in your left ear, usually, it's your angel or some angels speaking to you. Sometimes, I hear angels speaking to me in my left ear. In the case of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, "the voice in the Garden" was a faithful and loyal angel of God, interacting with the couple. The name of that angel is Solonia, a seraphim - according to the Urantia Book. (Please, see paper 75:8.8.) By the way, we all know that angels can also make themselves visible and speak with a human being. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">There are differences between the Inner Voice (still small voice), the voice of an angel, the voice of the Holy Spirit, the voice of Jesus Christ, etc. Sometimes, it may be hard to tell the difference. The most important thing is that we get the messages being delivered, meditate on them and act on them appropriately. However, knowing who actually spoke has its own amazing benefits... Learn more of and about the still small voice within you, your Thought Adjuster, in the Urantia Book, papers 107 to 112. Blessings flow! </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "Apple Color Emoji"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">🙏🙏🏾🙏🏻</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> </span></span></p>

So far, we have had five major Epochal Revelations:</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: large;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(1) The First Epochal Revelation is: the coming of our Planetary Prince and the Dalamatia Civilization he established. He was the initial prince of this world, Earth - Prince Caligastia. Sadly he rebelled. The Apostle Paul called him, "the prince of the power of the air". After he fell, he proclaimed himself, "the god of Urantia". He came here about 500,000 years ago. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Prince Caligastia joined Lucifer to rebel against the heavenly Father and Christ Michael about 200,000 years ago. This means he was loyal to God on Earth for about 300,000 years. He lived in the spirit realm. He was not visible to mortals. Some of us believe he was removed from planet Earth and judged in 1998. This is based on updated universe current affairs. He is no more on Earth, even though some of his wicked works are still here. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(2) The Second Epochal Revelation is: Adam and Eve and their work. This couple arrived on Earth about 38,000 years ago as full grown adults. A body of flesh and blood was made for each of them and they were placed in a garden, "The Garden of Eden". They came from the heavenly realms. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(3) The Third Epochal Revelation is: Machiventa Melchizedek and his teachings. "Melchizedek" came here from the heavenly realms. A physical body was prepared for him to live in or incarnate in. He came as a full grown adult male about 4,000 years ago in the days of Abraham. He belongs to the order of Sons of God known as, "The Order of Melchizedek". He was not born. He did not die. He dropped his physical body and left after his mortal mission was over. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(4) The Fourth Epochal Revelation is: Christ Michael, incarnated as Jesus or Yeshua - Jesus and his teachings. He came here from the heavenly realms about 2,000 years ago. He was born, incarnated as a babe. He lived, died, resurrected and ascended to heaven. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(5) The Fifth Epochal Revelation is: The Urantia Book. In heaven, "Urantia" is the name our planet, Earth is called. This book was given to us in 1934, getting close to 100 years ago. It's authors are unseen heavenly, godly beings. </span></span></p>

(And of course, there are the aspects of mind and heart.) Your body cannot get born again (or born from above; salvation). It is of the earth (dust) and it will return to the earth after you leave this earthly realm. "Dust to dust." (Ecclesiastes 12:7) </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">It is your soul that gets born again. Your spirit (Job 32:8) cannot get born again because in actuality, your spirit is the still small voice within; the Inner Voice; the candle light or lamp of God within; the spirit of God the Father in you - that comes into you when you attain the age of accountability and make your first real moral decision; usually between the ages of 4 and 6. Your spirit is your Thought Adjuster.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Your spirit within you does the actual work of soul transformation from spiritual death to spiritual life (from death to life). This is why Jesus Christ taught us that we are born of water and of the spirit. This "spirit" is your spirit - the Father's spirit already in you; waiting for you - your soul to come home to the Father. The spirit transforms your soul in the spiritual water, fountain of life within. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Your real "you" is your soul. Hence, "the soul that sins, shall die". (Ezekiel 18:20a) Please, take note: it says, "the soul that sins" NOT "the spirit that sins". The spirit (your spirit) is God (or is as God) and cannot sin. Your spirit is the image of God in you and works in you to get you - your soul to become born again and very slowly but surely become perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect. You cannot attain the Father's perfection in one lifetime. However, one day, in the heavenly realms, YOU will! </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">At death (death of your physical body), your spirit returns back to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) and will be reunited with your soul at resurrection and they will live in your new heavenly body. If you reject God's salvation the spirit does not return. And your soul shall surely die - eternal separation from God; spiritual death. The soul shall surely die if all attempts to salvage it fails. This soul death is the second death. (Revelation 20:14) The first death is the death of a body. The second death is the death of a soul.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Glory!

"God is love." As a result, your heart, your mind and your entire life will become immersed in the divine love - little by little, more and more. You will see improvements in your thought life; in your behavior or character. The fruits of the spirit will begin to gain deeper roots in you. This is practical living not mere empty talk. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Closeness to God brings with it, the ability to feel the presence of God. This ushers in great faith and boldness into your life. This ushers in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. You draw close to God the Father through friendship with or intimate relationship with your Thought Adjuster - the still small voice within you. This is the Father's spirit within - living in your Holy of Holies within!

This is how you become a most magnificent version of yourself - a living Jesus on the earth. Jesus Christ will begin to live through you in higher dimensions. Fear will have no place in your life. Faith and love will not allow it to. You are surrounded by God and his heavenly hosts. You are safe and sound!

When we die or leave this earth, we will first of all go to the "seven mansion worlds" or heavenly worlds of our system. They are in the system's capital. This capital is called Jerusem. Paul saw the third of these seven mansion worlds. </p><p>Later, we will progress beyond Jerusem to the capital of our constellation. The capital is called Edentia. There, we will go through another set of various heavenly realms, worlds or planets. All these are in the celestial realms NOT terrestrial realm. This is the meaning of ascending from glory to glory! Hallelujah! </p><p>We will continue to progress to higher and higher realms till one day, we will arrive in Paradise - the literal dwelling place of God the Father. There to receive a very special embrace from the Father. By this time, we have attained divine perfection. We have fulfilled the mandate, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." You cannot be allowed into Paradise itself before you attain the Father's kind of perfection. </p><p>If allowed and you see the Father, you will die. You will fissle out of existence. "No man can see God and live." To be able to see God the Father and live, you MUST be perfect as the Father is perfect. After attaining Paradise, we become, "Finaliters" - ready to rule and reign in worlds that are presently evolving in the Outer Space Levels. Oh! Hallelujah!

I saw myself moving or gliding in the air; moving through walls; being able to make myself visible to people and invisible to them; and I was filled with power. What I saw, to me, was my soul in action - my morontia soul. My soul, of course with my personality and my indwelling Thought Adjuster. </span></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">NB:</span></i></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Morontia Soul:</b> We are being morontiaized. It starts here on earth. "When the third circle is attained, the Adjuster endeavors to morontiaize the mind of man during the remainder of the mortal life span..." (110:6.14) </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In 110:6.9 we see this, "2. Soul evolution. The emergence of the morontia soul indicates the extent and depth of circle mastery." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Power:</b> We have power. "All this power which is inherent in Jesus—the endowment of life—and which enabled him to rise from the dead, is the very gift of eternal life which he bestows upon kingdom believers..." (190:0.2)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">+ + + </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>This is one of the scenes:</i></b> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I went into a room in a building. Three ladies were there chatting, talking, relaxing. I then made myself visible to them and moved really close to one of them. I told her to accept Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. And then, I literally placed my fingers on her chest, close to her right breast. There was a disease there - inside that part of her body. It was not visible because it was inside her. I slid my fingers across that section of her chest and removed the disease. It looked like a lump. Instantly, she was healed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So, there I was, sleeping on my bed and at the same time, found myself in a compound in Nigeria.

Your adaptation to this basically uniform but successively advancing and spiritizing creation is effected by this selective re-keying. Such an adjustment in the mechanism of personality is tantamount to a new creation, notwithstanding that you retain the same morontia form." </p><p>"Such an adjustment in the mechanism of personality is tantamount to a new creation..." </p><p>👆 </p><p>This verse is talking about adjustments in the mechanism of personality in the Mansion Worlds. This is as a result of the growth of your soul. (The fruits of the spirit in your life reveals the level of spiritual maturity of your soul.) Please, remember that no two persons have exactly the same personality. Your personality is unique to you and you alone. And it is changeless. However, "adjustments" in how it operates can take place. </p><p>These adjustments also occur on earth because right here, you have a soul and if your soul is truly growing intellectually and spiritually, you will be climbing up the ladder of the seven cosmic circles - going inwards from the seventh to the first cosmic circle; leading to your attainment of the personal era of light and life - just like Jesus attained in the flesh (55:11.7). </p><p>This explains why personality is increasingly released from the handicaps of time and delivered from the limitations of space.

A Visit From My Biological Brother Who Was Never Born: The Past, Present and Future, Converging in One</b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">This was a spiritual revelation while I slept at night on Tuesday, December 22, 2020, around 2 am. He said his name is, "Akponah". If he had been born, he would have been 53 years old in 2020. My brother. My elder brother. Son of my father and mother. Conceived and was due to arrive in 1967. But a miscarriage occurred. And as a result, he did not experience mortal life on earth. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">53 years from the day of the visitation, in 2073, he came to planet earth. He said he came to observe what his biological family life was like. He was at our home, our apartment at Okumagba Lay Out, Warri, Nigeria. We went there together. He was interested in seeing how we lived. "How did mother, father, my brothers and sisters live?" He came to see... </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Akponah is dark skinned like our father. He spent some time with me. We spoke. And he was willing to manifest himself to me in the spiritual. So, we went to a place. Some place. In some building. In what looked like an open space inside the building that led to various parts of the building. A beautiful vertical tube or column appeared. Maybe 4 to 6 feet tall. He was in the tube. But was not visible. It was filled with amazing blue-violet bright lights and smoky or cloudy substance. Shining. Sprinkling. Sparkling. Moving from top to bottom. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">But I felt disappointed because an external force came and interfered with the beautiful, grandiose and powerful manifestation that was taking place right before my eyes! It came in the form of a circular colorless droplet, about 5 inches in diameter. It moved in the air in a straight line towards the tube - hit it gently and viola! They were gone: the droplet, the tube and Akponah. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">However, something very great happened next: Immediately, I began speaking in another tongue; a language I have not spoken before and I am not in any way good at! Hahaha... </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "Apple Color Emoji"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">😀</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> It was Japanese! I spoke very, very fluent and perfect Japanese and did so with so much focus and power! I would speak Japanese and would switch to English if I wanted to.

<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Before the Lucifer rebellion took place, unseen beings like the prince of Persia, the kings (or lords) of Persia, the prince of Greece, etc were all once loyal to Christ Michael and our heavenly Father. And they were placed in positions of leadership, authority and rulership in the spiritual realm over various parts of planet earth, in line with Universe Government Administration. This is how they got to our planet in the first place. <br />
<br /><b>Book of Daniel 10:12-14 </b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.” </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The heavenly messenger was delayed for 21 days by his fellow spirit beings (the prince of Persia and the kings or lords of Persia). These beings were rebel spirits. They still had some powers. God did not strip them totally and completely of all their powers. Also, they had some form of legal claim to the planet, since it was under their rule before the Lucifer rebellion started. They continued to have some form of leeway. These are some reasons why they were able to withstand the glorious heavenly messenger for 21 days till Michael came to his rescue. <br />
<br />
It is very important to note that their right to rule has been stripped from them completely since the days of Christ Michael as "Jesus of Nazareth". Michael came here in the flesh and terminated the Lucifer Rebellion - technically. The full manifestation of this is unfolding before our eyes, little by little. The Lucifer rebellion has been terminated but this does not mean that automatically, within the twinkle of an eye, every single rebel spirit has been destroyed. No! The Universe does not operate that way. <br />
</span></p><p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">When the Lucifer rebellion broke out, some celestial personalities joined Lucifer in his rebellion. Some of them were already on earth on various assignments for God. They were not immediately removed from the planet after they joined forces with Lucifer. Even the likes of Lucifer and Satan were not immediately imprisoned when they rebelled. All these unseen rebellious beings were permitted to move and act freely to a certain extent. And Christ allowed this, in part, to let everyone on the terrestrial realm (e.g. earth) and the celestial realm see, without a shadow of a doubt, the folly of their actions that "the way of the transgressor is hard"; that "within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction"; that “the wages of sin is death." </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">It is very important to understand these things. The correct understanding will open your eyes to the fact that God did not drive them down from the heavenly realms to earth to make our lives a living hell. Some scriptures say "they were cast down". This simply means they were disgraced, demoted and defeated. It does not mean they were driven out of the heavenlies, down to earth. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Our God is a God of justice. He will not drive rebellious spirits to our planet. Think of it, please. Humans were on earth, minding their own business. They had nothing to do with Lucifer and his gang rebelling. So please, what sense does it make to chase them out of the heavenly realms to earth and leave them here to tempt and torment us? Is that justice? Is that fair? Is that love? It is important we understand the nature of God and how God operates. Those rebels were already on earth as loyal and obedient members of God's family, working for God. When they changed their minds and rebelled, they were not immediately removed from the planet. And there were those who were not stationed on earth but had access to move freely around the Universe. In Job 1:6, we see an example of Satan moving freely. This access was not withdrawn from them immediately. By the way, the account in Job is not very detailed. The Urantia Book presents a more detailed and clearer account - please, see Urantia Book 43:4.8-9. <br />
</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br />
<b>Urantia Book 43:4.8-9 </b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">43:4.8 That the teachers of olden times knew of these things is shown by the record: “And there was a day when the Sons of God came to present themselves before the Most Highs, and Satan came also and presented himself among them.” And this is a statement of fact regardless of the connection in which it chances to appear.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">43:4.9 Since the triumph of Christ, all Norlatiadek is being cleansed of sin and rebels. Sometime before Michael’s death in the flesh the fallen Lucifer’s associate, Satan, sought to attend such an Edentia conclave, but the solidification of sentiment against the archrebels had reached the point where the doors of sympathy were so well-nigh universally closed that there could be found no standing ground for the Satania adversaries. When there exists no open door for the reception of evil, there exists no opportunity for the entertainment of sin. The doors of the hearts of all Edentia closed against Satan; he was unanimously rejected by the assembled System Sovereigns, and it was at this time that the Son of Man “beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven.” </span></p>

<br />
We see here in the Urantia Book that even after Satan rebelled against our heavenly Father and his Christ, Jesus Christ (or Christ Michael), he was still allowed a certain degree of freedom. Please, why? We need to understand that Satan and all other rebels were created by Christ. They are his creatures; his children. As a human parent, please, do you kill your children or disown them immediately they rebel against you? The answer is, "No!" A big no! Your love for them as a true parent, a real parent makes you to give them opportunities to repent and come back to their senses. Now, if you, as a human being can do this to your mortal children, then please, how much more our everlasting heavenly Father and his Christ - beings who have infinite love, mercy and compassion. Please, think about this for a minute. <br />
<br />
Allow the mind of Christ to pervade your being, then you will begin to see the wisdom in giving rebellious spirits time to repent and offering them opportunities for correction and rehabilitation. This verse below will help you see that God can forgive a fallen rebel spirit. Forgiveness and salvation is not for humans alone! </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Urantia Book 53:9.1 </b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">"Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael. To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service. None of the leaders accepted this merciful proffer. But thousands of the angels and the lower orders of celestial beings, including hundreds of the Material Sons and Daughters, accepted the mercy proclaimed by the Panoptians and were given rehabilitation at the time of Jesus’ resurrection nineteen hundred years ago. These beings have since been transferred to the Father’s world of Jerusem, where they must be held, technically, until the Uversa courts hand down a decision in the matter of Gabriel vs. Lucifer. But no one doubts that, when the annihilation verdict is issued, these repentant and salvaged personalities will be exempted from the decree of extinction. These probationary souls now labor with the Panoptians in the work of caring for the Father’s world." </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Source: </b>The Urantia Book, Paper 53, "The Lucifer Rebellion" <a href="https://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-53-lucifer-rebellion"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">https://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-53-lucifer-rebellion</span></a></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">In paper 43 of the Urantia Book, we see that if a rebel spirit insists on persisting in evil, sin and iniquity, his freedom begins to be gradually curtailed, limited or reduced. Thus, a time came when Satan was not welcomed anymore to the Edentia conclave, the gathering of the “Sons of God”. The doors of the hearts of all Edentia closed against him; he was unanimously rejected by the assembled System Sovereigns (a.k.a “Sons of God”), and it was at this time that the Son of Man “beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven.” Even at that, Christ still opened the door of repentance to Satan and all other rebels. Satan continued to reject it and a time came when he was seized and taken to a prison world in the heavenly realms. <br />
<br />
The Urantia Book also reveals that Lucifer and some other rebels have been seized and taken away to hellish prison worlds in the heavenly realms - the Jerusem Prison Worlds. However, the Urantia Revelation does not say that every single rebel spirit has been imprisoned. As at the time of the publishing of the book, a rebellious being Caligastia, our deposed planetary prince, the one the Apostle Paul called, "the prince of the power of the air" was still roaming freely on earth. There are other rebel spirits that have not been removed from earth even to this day. They are being removed one after the other, slowly but surely. These things take time. Why? </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">God is patient and merciful. There's no rush. Please, remember, they are all his children. Do you think it pleases a Father to see his child destroyed? Our heavenly Father, in his infinite wisdom always look to see if there's a window of opportunity for repentance in the heart of a rebellious child. Also, I believe there are other reasons that we may not know of right now, as to why some rebel spirits are still here. But we should be rest assured that our heavenly Father has our best interest at heart - ALWAYS! <br />
<br />
There's great wisdom in delaying justice sometimes. Mercy delays justice for good reasons. There are so many lessons that are learnt. There are so many good and great things that come out as a result - for the benefit of all. <br />

<b>Conclusion </b></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">It is very important to know that God our heavenly Father and his Christ (Christ Michael) did NOT drive or chase fallen angels, Lucifer, Satan, etc to planet earth. When you begin to understand more and more of the true nature of God, you will find it easy to see this and understand/appreciate why. The belief that God drove "fallen angels" (rebel spirits) down to earth from heaven is not correct. Such a belief implies that God just got rid of them quickly and pushed them away from his heavenly domain to our earthly domain. It suggests that God took care of his own comfort and did not care much about our own comfort. Such a belief is not consistent with the nature and character of God. </span></p>

<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Please, do you really believe a loving heavenly Father would do this? We really had nothing to do with the Lucifer rebellion. We did not cause, create or initiate it. We did not participate in it, at least, initially. We did not participate in the war in heaven. So please, why should someone think God chased them to meet us on earth? Is it just and fair to push those heartless spirits down to earth, just like that? </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">They were not chased out of heaven to earth to be a pain in our behind. They had the freedom to move around freely before they rebelled. They moved around from the heavenly realms to our earthly realm and beyond. Some of them were literally stationed on earth to serve the divine plan and purpose of Deity. Some of them were stationed here while they were faithful and loyal to God BEFORE they rebelled. After they rebelled, they were not immediately removed from the planet for some key reasons in line with the Father's nature of justice, mercy and love. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">The heavenly Father has already made more than enough provisions for his human or mortal children such that even though some rebel spirits are present on earth, they (i.e. mortals or humans) have been given the power, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to withstand and overcome them all. It is up to you, the individual human being whether or not you will make use of all that your spirit Father has freely given to you. The Father loves all his children: terrestrial and celestial alike; seen and unseen and he makes ample provision for their salvation, growth, care, upkeep and eternal destiny.

The Faithful of Days of Edentia, on the request of the Constellation Fathers, in person presented the plan of Michael for the saving of these flagrant rebels, but always was the mercy of the Creator Son rejected and rejected with increasing contempt and disdain." - The Urantia Book, Paper 53:2.5, "The Lucifer Rebellion" </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">From 53:2.5, we see that some of Lucifer's subordinates accepted the proffered mercy - they repented. And they were forgiven. 🙏 </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Christ Michael (aka Jesus Christ) offered forgiveness to the fallen angels and other fallen spirits:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">"Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael. To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service. None of the leaders accepted this merciful proffer. But thousands of the angels and the lower orders of celestial beings, including hundreds of the Material Sons and Daughters, accepted the mercy proclaimed by the Panoptians and were given rehabilitation at the time of Jesus’ resurrection nineteen hundred years ago..." - Paper 53:9.1, "The Lucifer Rebellion" </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Paper 53:9.1 reveals two key things:</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">1) They were offered salvation in the early days of the rebellion. This was about 200,000 years ago. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">"Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael." </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">2) They were offered salvation again after Michael, as "Jesus of Nazareth", son of man and Son of God, attained full or complete sovereignty over the universe of his own creation, the universe of Nebadon, our local universe. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">"To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service." </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So, clearly, from the beginning of the Lucifer rebellion to when Christ was here as Jesus (or Yeshua) and even up until now, our heavenly Father and his Christ continues to leave the door of salvation open to his unseen misguided and rebellious children. <b>This is huge! </b>It opens our eyes to the infinite greatness of the love of God towards all - human beings, angels, "Sons of God", etc, etc. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Some people find it very difficult to accept that God will or can forgive Lucifer, Satan, Caligastia, etc. BUT PLEASE, remember, God is not man! Can you recall the parable of the prodigal son? His father continued to have love for him and forgiveness towards him - even though he went astray! If a human father can forgive his erring or even wicked children, please, how much more God the Father? God, the Father of fathers, the Father of spirits, the Father of all, the Father of love! How much more! He is the Father of human beings and spirits as well. His heart is infinitely large enough to accommodate and forgive all... Please, stop and meditate on this for a minute. 🙏 </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Some people argue that it is not fair to forgive rebellious spirits because of the great atrocities they have committed. Some people even say that they can never repent. But we see from paper 53 that some of them have repented. Also, if you as a human being can forgive your human children regardless of their atrocities, then please, what makes you think our heavenly Father cannot forgive his spirit children regardless of their atrocities? 🤔</span></p>The Christ Michael Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12086460787726871079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930510361863887260.post-50876552143858288362020-10-26T23:48:00.004-04:002020-10-26T23:48:46.120-04:00 My Flight to Another Inhabited Planet<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dateline: Circa 2015 (I cannot remember the exact year. I should have penned it down.) </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-138826ef-7fff-3192-d24b-367f4c93e64a"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On this given night, I went to bed as usual. During the night sleep, I found myself in an airport, somewhere on Earth, about to board a small aircraft together with about 3 other people, earthlings just like me. (I do not know the exact location on Earth.) We boarded the flight and the spacecraft took off. We landed on another airport. But this airport was on another planet. It was so clear to me that we were on a different planet for the people there told us so. They call their planet in what sounded like, “Aturukolatey” and “Ukpurukpuru”. They gave us two names for their planet. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There were dancers in the airport, waiting to greet us. There was a lot of jubilation in the air! They were singing and dancing. The dancers wore traditional attires, similar to some African traditional dance attires. The clothes covered their breasts and private parts. The other parts of their bodies were more or less exposed. Apart from the dancers, the other folks on the planet dressed in ways similar to us, regular clothes of shirts, pants, etc. Most of them have skins tones or colors that look like what we, on Earth, will call black and brown. Most of the people I saw there were black and brown people. I cannot recollect seeing people of the red, yellow or white race. I saw men and women: males and females. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the airport, those of us from Earth (about 3 or 4 of us in all) were split into different groups. I left with a group. I was the only earthling in my group. I was taken on a tour. They took me to what looked like a High School. It has buildings; a gymnasium, etc. After showing me around the school, they took me to their living quarters. We went into an apartment and sat down in the living room in upholstery [furniture] just like what we have on Earth. Their apartments were one level or bungalows. I cannot recall seeing high-rise apartment complexes. The houses looked simple and strong with roofs. The houses were attached, side-by-side. Of course, there may be other variations. I did not tour the entire planet. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the living room, we were seated, relaxed and engaged in discussions. I asked them a lot of questions. I cannot even remember the exact questions I asked but they were about learning more about them and their planet. I may also have told them some things about life on Earth but I cannot remember now. They were very interested in me - in knowing more about me and my planet (Earth) and vice versa. I asked a lot of questions to the point that a young lady present in the living room grew angry. But all others present showed no anger. They were very friendly and accommodating of me. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After our tour, we went to the airport. The other fellow earthlings were also at the airport. I was given a gift: a very colorful and beautiful wrist watch; simple, yet very sophisticated. It reminds me of the Apple Watch - iWatch. (Please, note that as at that time, I had not seen an iWatch. In short, the first time I saw an iWatch, my memory immediately went back to the watch gift I received from those folks - those brothers and sisters.) The wrist band looked like a plastic or rubber wristband with purple, blue and orange colors; they kind of faded into one another (if my memory serves me right). I loved it and put it on my left wrist. We boarded a craft that looked like the very same spacecraft that took us from Earth. And then we were flown back to Earth. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">...And then I woke up. The very first thing I did on waking up was to look at my left wrist for the amazing watch I was given. But to my disappointment, it was nowhere to be found! lol! 😀 </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One Love! </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Karo E.K.D.

Urantia Book 142:6.7, "...Jesus answered: “Already does the spirit of the Father in heaven indwell you...”"</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Beloved, please, take note of this: Jesus told Nicodemus that the spirit of the Father in heaven was already living inside of him (Nicodemus). The spirit of the Father was already in Nicodemus even though he was not yet born again or born from above as at that time.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">This is a very important fact.</span> This spirit that Jesus talked of is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is different. This spirit is what we call the Thought Adjuster (Urantia Book). This is what the Bible calls the still small voice (1 Kings 19:12). This spirit is perfect. This spirit is God the Father living in you. And this indwelling spirit comes into you when you attain the age of accountability, usually the ages of 4, 5 or 6. This is when you make your first moral decision.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It is possible for God to be in you before you get born again because his spirit lives in the realm of your mind that sin does not or cannot come into. This is the Holy of Holies of your mind. This is the superconscious level of your mind. To be born again (or "born from above") you have to surrender all to the Father's spirit within; to the leading, will and way of God the Father with all your heart. And this will happen to you when you are transformed through a personal encounter with God. This is when you are "born of water and of the spirit".</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Papers 107 to 112 of the Urantia Book goes in great detail, teaching us of the Father's spirit that lives within us. In the Bible, this same spirit is revealed:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Proverbs 20:27, "The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart." <br />Ecclesiastes 12:7, "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it." <br />Job 32:8, "But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding." <br /><br />This spirit, this still small voice, this Father fragment or Thought Adjuster is already within you - from childhood. This is why Jesus taught saying, "The kingdom of God is within you." <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Glory! Hallelujah!</span> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"type":104,"tn":"*N"}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/onelove?source=note&epa=HASHTAG" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">#OneLove</a> <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="heart emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="18" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/taa/1/18/2764.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="18" /><span aria-hidden="true" class="_7oe" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;"><3</span></span></div>
