Jesus Presented the Full Gospel Message

Jesus declared the full gospel message. He taught the good news of God's kingdom, which included the requirements for salvation and spiritual growth. We see the proof of these in the very lives of his disciples (believers). They repented. Their sins were completely forgiven. Their souls were cleansed and uplifted. They experienced "the new birth" - salvation, born again, born from above, born of the spirit. All these happened WITHOUT Jesus shedding a single drop of blood. 

Zacchaeus is a very good example (Luke 19:1-10). He sincerely repented. And God forgave him all his sins. This is why Jesus said to him that SALVATION had come to him. It is not proper for some people to twist this and say Jesus did not mean that Zacchaeus had received the free gift of salvation. Please, why are you twisting or misinterpreting Jesus' words all because you stubbornly insist on justifying the man-made blood atonement doctrine of our ancestors and of Paul? 

The seventy (70) evangelists of Luke 10 present another example of believers who were already saved or born again as a result of the Master’s gospel ministry. Our Master, Jesus, himself declared that their names were already written in heaven because they had already received the heavenly Father's (our spiritual Father's) free gift of salvation (Luke 10:18-20). Now please, do people receive salvation at the cross of Christ? Yes, they do. People receive salvation, cross or no cross: by having a personal, life transforming, soul rejuvenating encounter with God and his love. 

You cannot understand the gospel of the kingdom: the gospel of salvation and spiritual growth by using our ancestors and individuals like Peter and Paul as the standard teachers. No, please! Jesus is the standard teacher! All teachings must be brought under the radar of Jesus' teachings. That's how you do it. When you understand these things, you will easily see how people from other cultures and religions here on earth, and also those in other planets (a.k.a. aliens) receive salvation and grow spiritually. And you will not misunderstand the statements Jesus made concerning his death and resurrection. 

Luke 10, NKJV
18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” 

A Salvation Prayer  
To receive our heavenly Father's life transforming gift of salvation, please, you may say this prayer in faith:  

Oh God! My heavenly Father, with all my heart, I accept you as my spiritual Father. Thank you for your infinite love towards me. I embrace your love with all of my heart, mind, and soul. I yearn to have a personal revelational encounter with you. I seek a Father-son relationship with you. God, my spiritual Father, I accept your divine forgiveness of any and all of my sins. May I walk in your divine love and spiritual power in my dealings with others. I make a wholehearted commitment to do your will. In faith, I ask all these under your great grace, in the name above all other names. Amen. Thank you, God, my SOURCE! I adore and worship you! ❤🙏💜 

Love, Light, and Life!

GOD SPEAKS TO YOU DIRECTLY!

 

Yes, the still, small voice, the spirit fragment of God the Father within you, your Thought Adjuster (TA) communicates with you directly. It occurs in your thoughts, in the highest realms of your thoughts. Sometimes, this communication may successfully get to your feelings. Sometimes, but not all the time. When it comes to "feelings," please, we have to be very careful because sometimes, the "feeling" may not be from God. 

However, the communication starts at the thought level. From the highest realms of our thoughts. In the superconscious levels of the mind, the communication is passed down to our souls (this is the domain of the mid-mind, morontia mind) and then to our conscious mind, our brains, our senses, our feelings - the electro-chemical parts of our being. As the communication travels or goes from the superconscious mind down to the conscious mind, it might get diluted or corrupted because of our animal or carnal nature, our ignorance, etc. It might be interfered with. This is a major reason why one has to be careful NOT to rush to conclusions to say, "Thus saith the Lord." 

If you are actually growing intellectually and spiritually, you should find it easier to ascertain or properly identify the divine messages. The closer you are to God, the more mature you become, and the easier it becomes for you to receive your TA's messages, understand them, interpret them properly, and execute them effectively. And yes, sometimes, you can literally, audibly hear your TA (indwelling spirit Thought Adjuster; God the Father in you) speak to you with a human voice, in your own language. It's always very, very beautiful, filled with love! Hallelujah! Namaste! Glory! ️     

+ + + 

God speaks to us in our highest THOUGHTS. Please see Urantia Book 101:1.3 

101:1.3, "The divine spirit makes contact with mortal man, not by feelings or emotions, but in the realm of the highest and most spiritualized thinking. It is your thoughts, not your feelings, that lead you Godward..." 

For mid-mind, please see Urantia Book 111:2.8 

111:2.8, "The midway creatures have long denominated this evolving soul of man the mid-mind in contradistinction to the lower or material mind and the higher or cosmic mind. This mid-mind is really a morontia phenomenon since it exists in the realm between the material and the spiritual..."

For the superconscious mind, please see Urantia Book 91:2.6 

91:2.6, "...But there is also a domain of prayer wherein the intellectually alert and spiritually progressing individual attains more or less contact with the superconscious levels of the human mind, the domain of the indwelling Thought Adjuster..."

Can you literally, audibly hear the Inner Voice, the voice of your Thought Adjuster, your Mystery Monitor? 

Yes, you can. However, please check this: 

Excerpts from Paper 110 - Relation of Adjusters to Individual Mortals

110:6:5 The Adjusters are always near you and of you, but rarely can they speak directly, as another being, to you.

110:7:9 Human beings below the third and second circles of attainment rarely hear the Adjuster’s direct voice except in moments of supreme desire, in a supreme situation, and consequent upon a supreme decision.

Please be careful not to rush to believe or conclude that a new idea or concept that comes to your mind has come from your Thought Adjuster (TA). It may sound like a great or nice idea. This does not necessarily mean it has come from God. Be patient. Discuss it with your TA. Don't be in a rush. 

Excerpts from Paper 110 - Relation of Adjusters to Individual Mortals 

110:5:6 But it is dangerous to entertain the idea that every new concept originating in the human mind is the dictation of the Adjuster. ... This is dangerous ground, and every human being must settle these problems for himself in accordance with his natural human wisdom and superhuman insight.

110:5:5 It is extremely dangerous to postulate as to the Adjuster content of the dream life.

Sincerely, 
Love, Light, and Life!

Prayer As A Solemn, Sacred Petition Or Request

 

A very powerful line to include in prayers, "In the name of the celestial intelligences of all Nebadon, I ask for..."   (See Urantia Book 189:2.1) What is prayer? Prayer is simply making a solemn, sacred petition. Prayer is not worship.  

You can make a solemn, sacred petition in the name above all names. And yes, you should.  The name above all names is the name that the heavenly Father, our First Source and Divine Center, gave to Jesus Christ at the successful completion of his bestowal mission on earth (Urantia). 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. 

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.  

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 other words, you can call on or invoke their names - meaning, their authority.  

Why pray in the names of celestial intelligences or celestial personalities? Why not pray only in the name above all names? 

We all, mortals and immortals alike, are all in "the kingdom of God." It's a family affair. Family members interact with one another. It's like asking: Why petition, request or ask for assistance from the governors of my country when I have access to the president himself? 

Prayer is spiritual communion. It is a solemn, sacred petition or request. It is having a plea-, petition-, or asking-conversation with someone who can assist. Prayer is making a request. 

Prayer is not worship. Worship is different.

The family of God has all kinds of family members who are empowered to assist one another. Just like you need to know how to approach your governor and how to tender requests to him, you need to know how to get the attention of your amazing celestial brothers and sisters, celestial helpers and to know how to get their assistance. Prayer is having a conversation of requests. It also promotes communion with the one you are speaking to. You do not bring in worship except you are speaking to/with the Paradise Father and his representatives like Christ Michael (a.k.a. Jesus Christ).  

In the Urantia Book 189:2.1, we read, "...the chief of archangels - the angels of the resurrection - approached Gabriel and asked for the mortal body of Jesus." The chief archangel made a request to Gabriel or placed a petition before Gabriel or prayed to Gabriel. The archangel said, "...In the name of the celestial intelligences of all Nebadon, I ask for a mandate giving me the custody of the mortal body of Jesus of Nazareth and empowering us to proceed with its immediate dissolution." 

This is a prayer. A conversation between two persons, where one individual is making a solemn, sacred request before the other. There is no worship involved. Even we humans pray to one another all the time. For example, I can come to you and say, "My brother (or my sister), I pray you to assist me with such and such." Hahaha...  I can stand before you and appeal to or humbly move you to use your powers to assist me or help me to get something done. Hallelujah!  

People have to see prayer from a different angle. Please, why did the archangel not go directly to the heavenly Father? Prayer is simply making a solemn, sacred petition. Prayer is not worship. 

Yes, we intermingle prayer and worship when we engage with our heavenly Father and our Christ. However, we don't intermingle them in our interactions with our fellow mortals and fellow celestial brothers and sisters, who are a part of the celestial intelligences in our universe but who do not deserve our worship. If you understand this explanation, then you shall appreciate this: 

A very powerful line to include in prayers: "In the name of the celestial intelligences of all Nebadon, I ask for..."  

(Urantia Book 189:2.1)

Effective Prayer 

Jesus taught that effective prayer must be:

Unselfish - not alone for oneself.

Believing - according to faith.

Sincere - honest of heart.

Intelligent - according to light.

Trustful - in submission to the Father's all-wise will. 

(Please, see Urantia Book 144:3.17-22)

You Pray for the Death of Your Enemies?

Did God tell you to pray for the death of your enemies? What happened to, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you?" Where did you see Jesus or Paul praying for the death of their enemies, persecutors or haters? Who made you a Judge and Arbiter over others - whether they live or die?
What happened to, "God prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies"? It doesn't say, "in the absence of my enemies". It says, "in the presence of my enemies". A reason for this is so they can see the goodness of God in your life and the error of their ways - which can lead them to repentance...
Praying for the death of your fellow human beings is rooted in fear, hatred, revenge and unforgiveness. Wake up your heart to LOVE and FORGIVENESS. God is the Great Judge. He gives life. And He determines when a life should be terminated. Not you! Stay in your lane!

Why pray for the death of others? 
People have to make use of the appropriate words - most especially in an enlightened age. Highly spiritually matured and knowledgeable people choose their words carefully. It is far better to use words that make it clear that you desire the evil machinations of your enemies to be destroyed instead of speaking as though you yearn for the individual human being to physically die. ....and going about the place decreeing physical death on people, left, right and center... Such fake decrees cannot be honored by an Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and at the same time, all loving God.

A brother, Emeka Odoemene puts it quite nicely, "God is a loving Father and He is Father to both the righteous and the sinner. We, earthly parents would not kill one (or some) of our children because he oppresses other children. So, people should stop expecting God to answer their prayers to kill other humans for some wicked acts. He owns all lives and would take them when he wants." 

"Suffer not a witch to live."
That instruction was based on the level of enlightenment of the people of that day - Moses' day and era. The Paradise Father does not see that as "His Word". Another example is: "An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth." And you know Jesus made it clear that it is not the Word of God or that our Heavenly Father doesn't want us to implement that. But Moses and his crew taught that. Knowledge has increased. A greater enlightenment has come. We should know better. We are guided by the perfect law of liberty and love. Vengeance belongs to God. Let Him do His thing.

2 Timothy 4:4 
"Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will pay him back for his deeds." - Paul
This clearly falls in line with God's modus operandi. Paul knew better. He didn't pray for the man's death. God is the Judge. 

On very few occasions, an instant judgment may be delivered by God or the Celestial forces. And sometimes the verdict may be literally uttered by or through the mouth of the faith-liberated and love-soaked believer. A close look at God's dealings with humans show that such instances are very rare and "Justice" is always mingled with "Mercy". You cannot site such rare examples and run away praying everyday or every week for people to die! You have to understand the "operations of spirit" or the modus operandi of spirit - the divine spirit realm... AND TAKE NOTE: Such instant Judgment comes from God - 
not someone randomly praying for disaster to strike another human being, who in actuality is a brother or sister... 

A key guiding principle is seen in a question: "Where is love and forgiveness and divine purpose in this matter?" - whatever matter or situation that may be before you.

Once again, we re-echo, "People have to make use of the appropriate words - most especially in an enlightened age. Highly spiritually matured and knowledgeable people choose their words carefully. It is far better to use words that make it clear that you desire the evil machinations of your enemies to be destroyed instead of speaking as though you yearn for the individual human being to physically die. ....and going about the place decreeing physical death on people, left, right and center... Such fake decrees cannot be honored by an Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and at the same time, all loving God." 

Be blessed!

The Power of Decision-Choice

A "SWOT analysis" can be applied in making choices. Before you choose, stop, pause, and consider your "Strengths", "Weaknesses", the "Opportunities" and "Threats" that are related or connected to the choices before you. Bring in "SWOT" to your decision-making process! And bring in "Prayer" and "Meditation"! Glory to God! Amen.

"The Universe awaits your choice to see what you will make real in this life and then as a result of your choice, realities can be made manifest and will be used to the glorification of the Father." Tap into the power of decision-choice today! Shalom and Hallelujah! 

Let us work together to encourage people to tap into their God-given powers of Decision-Choice, bringing in prayers, meditation and heart-felt worship. There is this all-important factor of closeness to God that is realized! It is also important to note that when more individuals engage in this, an inevitable outcome would be peace, safety and security in our communities all over the world. 

I delivered a message titled, "The Power of Decision-Choice". I'm telling you my dear, this message is very powerful. It has viewpoints, nuggets and suggestions that will add transformative value to your decision-making behavior. Click to listen today! Hosanna! Hallelujah!

Co-creating Through Prayer - Audio

Pastor Karo gives a brief audio message on, "Co-creating Through Prayer". Please, take a listen!

...We pray for so many reasons. In this snippet, the focus is on, "Co-creating Through Prayer".

Beloved, click on this link now: https://soundcloud.com/christ-michael-center/co-creating-through-prayer 

‪#‎pray‬ ‪#‎PrayerNuggets‬

"...Prayer will lead the mortals of earth up to the communion of true worship. The soul’s spiritual capacity for receptivity determines the quantity of heavenly blessings which can be personally appropriated and consciously realized as an answer to prayer." - The Urantia Book 144:4.4 #UranitaBook #UB #FER  

Co-creating Through Prayer II

Urantia Book 110:1.3 - "Although the divine indwellers are chiefly concerned with your spiritual preparation for the next stage of the never-ending existence, they are also deeply interested in your temporal welfare and in your real achievements on earth. They are delighted to contribute to your health, happiness, and true prosperity. They are not indifferent to your success in all matters of planetary advancement which are not inimical to your future life of eternal progress."

Refusing to pray to God for His divine assistance and/or intervention in your material welfare: job, business, finances, marriage, health, etc, may seem altruistic, 'not selfish', 'not personal', 'free of personal interest' or 'selfless'. It may come off as macho, spiritual or grandiose to some but in actuality, it is defeatist. It is burdensome. I may even add that it is selfish. Your Thought Adjuster {God within, the divine fractal} would like to be involved in everything about you and this includes material or temporal matters. Of course, God's main focus is your spirituality. However, bare in mind that everything about a faith-liberated, "born again" child of God is sacred. So, yes, we should talk to our heavenly Father about everything. Nothing wrong with that. And while we are at it, we make efforts to discern His will concerning that particular matter...

In communication with God and the heavenly hosts [prayer], we have a beautiful opportunity or privilege to "co-create" with God. With our thoughts, our hearts, our words (words energized or infused with spiritual power), we visualize, we speak into existence that which constitutes truth, beauty and goodness. It may be a material or physical need or desire. It may be something strictly spiritual. We exercise our "faith", pray and act as well, having at the back of our minds, the divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding related to our prayer. And this is one way in which prayer changes us and pulls us closer to divine perfection...

When i pray, some useful pointers for me are: How does this benefit me - how would it contribute to my being a better man, a more useful or more productive person? What would other people get or benefit from this prayer request of mine? Would it contribute to seeing a better neighborhood, a better world - peaceful, moral, economic, healing, healthy, spiritual, etc?

I have to examine: What are my motives? What are my true intentions? Where is the Father's will in all these? What's in it for the Universe?

Make your time on Earth outstanding! Bring Heaven to Earth (Urantia). #PrayWithoutCeasing #OneLove

Co-creating Through Prayer

Prayer is not a monologue. It's a dialogue. In prayer, you engage with God and the cosmic, celestial forces. You partner with divinity to make things happen. You co-create with divinity. You speak things into existence. These are things that do not yet exist. You co-create, you co-labor with God to bring them into reality in this life. This is one of the very important reasons why we pray. God has structured it in such a way that you, his child work or partner with him in order to get things done. 

There are certain things our heavenly Father doesn't wish to do alone. He desires to accomplish them with you! And as you work with him, you receive training for greater tasks you would embark upon in your eternal future. These are outstanding tasks that would be carried out in order to fulfill the Father’s eternal and divine purpose. Glory! Hallelujah! ‪#‎pray‬ 

Now what will you make real in this life? What will you like to see come to pass? What contributions are you willing to make to pull this planet closer and closer towards full blown, "Planetary Era of Light and Life"? "...the Universe awaits your choice to see what you will make real in this life and then as a result of your choice, realities can be made manifest and will be used to the glorification of the Father." Hold onto prayer. Use it as a tool, a great tool to manifest your destiny! 

Remember, Jesus always prayed. We have to learn to pray and to pray powerfully...  And as faith-liberated souls, we have to learn to align our prayers with the will of our heavenly Father.

Please, say this to yourself, out loud: "I am a powerful co-creative being! My creativity is my contribution to the Father’s will as revealed through me. Hallelujah!" So, once again the question is asked, "What will you make real in this life?" Have an outstanding day!

Worship makes one increasingly like the being who is worshiped. Worship is a transforming experience whereby the finite gradually approaches and ultimately attains the presence of the Infinite. #worship 

Urantia Book 146:2.17 - "...Jesus taught his followers that, when they had made their prayers to the Father, they should remain for a time in silent receptivity to afford the indwelling spirit the better opportunity to speak to the listening soul. The spirit of the Father speaks best to man when the human mind is in an attitude of true worship. We worship God by the aid of the Father’s indwelling spirit and by the illumination of the human mind through the ministry of truth. Worship, taught Jesus, makes one increasingly like the being who is worshiped. Worship is a transforming experience whereby the finite gradually approaches and ultimately attains the presence of the Infinite."
