The Family of God

The Family of God is the Kingdom of God; the Father's fold; the fellowship of faith-liberated sons and daughters of God. They family of God is broad and vast - way, way, way beyond our present comprehension. Seek to understand your place in God's family. Understand and appreciate your role and your rights and privileges. Be empowered. Be blessed. And lead a life of faith, love and service. Hallelujah! Amen.

"The next evening, having gathered together the twelve apostles, the apostles of John, and the newly commissioned women's group, Jesus said: "You see for yourselves that the harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Let us all, therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest that he send forth still more laborers into his fields."" - Urantia Book Paper 150:4.1

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12

To love AS Jesus loved

#Love

Jesus seeks to take us deeper for he said: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I LOVE YOU. 

THAT'S DEEP! 

We are not expected to just love others as we love ourselves. We are encouraged to climb higher - inwards: TO LOVE AS GOD LOVES. 

We are to go far beyond the beautiful human capacity to LOVE. We are to ascend higher into the greater divine capacity to LOVE. 

Stop and meditate on this for a minute...

John 13:34-35 Darby Translation (DARBY)

34 A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves. 

Urantia Book 180:1 - THE NEW COMMANDMENT. 

JESUS to his disciples, "...You well know the commandment which directs that you love one another; that you love your neighbor even as yourself. But I am not wholly satisfied with even that sincere devotion on the part of my children. I would have you perform still greater acts of love in the kingdom of the believing brotherhood. And so I give you this new commandment: That you love one another even as I have loved you. And by this will all men know that you are my disciples if you thus love one another." - UB180:1.1

A Divine Counselor and Angels

I am determined to see and experience a Divine Counselor in me!

I am determined to see.
Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined to see. I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear; laughter to replace weeping; and abundance to replace loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
~ Original Handscript of ACIM  

A Divine Counselor summarizes it as follows: "Health, sanity, and happiness are integrations of truth, beauty and goodness as they are blended in human experience. Such levels of efficient living come about through the unification of energy systems, idea systems, and spirit systems." [Urantia book 2:7.11]

"Happiness ensues from the recognition of truth because it can be acted out..." [Urantia Book 2:7.6]
May we be empowered as Children of Light, exercising our birthright as Creator-Beings and Beings of Light.

The Purpose of Ministering Spirits/Angels.

The primary purpose for which they were created by God was to be servants (i.e., “ministers”) to those who are to inherit salvation.

They are beings of great wisdom, “to know all things that are in the earth” (2 Samuel 14:20).

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14).

Urantia Book 38:0.1, "Angels are the ministering spirits of time; authorities, the messenger hosts of space; powers, the higher personalities of the Infinite Spirit."

May The Infinite Intelligence guide us in all ways and may God's riches in wisdom flow to us all freely.

Amen,
Abegunde Julius Taiwo

A Life Above Lust

Two key spiritual principles to walk in - so you can live a life far above 'the lust of the flesh' or any form of sexual immorality: 
(1) "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman." - Job 31:1.
(2) "When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;" - Job 29:6
[Job is a Book in the Bible - for those who may not know.]

We can confidently tell you that the [spiritual] WORD of God works. It is POSSIBLE to experience spiritual growth and changes in your mind and biological, electrochemical make up - to such an extent that it becomes IMPOSSIBLE for you to have lustful desires towards anyone or anything. With God all things are possible. Some of us are living proof testimonials. 

A clear understanding of the two verses above can get you to tap into some powerful spiritual principles and anointing that would "quicken" you and bring you to a beautiful place where you easily overcome any form of sexual temptation. Stay blessed and have a great week! ‪#‎OneLove‬

Cheers!

The spiritual technique of SALVATION

Here's a gospel of salvation that would apply to anyone in any inhabited planet. There are many, many, many planets with humans in them. Earth is not the only one. This is where my about 35 years of spiritual journey has brought me to:  

"The spiritual technique of SALVATION occurs when an individual accepts and is "quickened" by the expression of God's LOVE and MERCY. Salvation is yours when you get a revelation of God's love and mercy: a revelation or understanding-experience that causes you to open your heart to God, to trust Him, to welcome Him into your life; to surrender all to Him as your Father. These acts bring you to a place where you begin to see others as your brothers and sisters and you develop FAITH in your eternal salvation - that you will exist in and with God forever. Your heart becomes totally committed to doing His will. This is possible because of the GRACE and GOODNESS of God. Herein is your salvation."  

Always be of good cheer! ‪#‎faith‬ ‪#‎hope‬ ‪#‎love‬

Having Divine Thoughts

There's nothing wrong in having divine thoughts. And the righteousness we have is God's righteousness - this is what God consciousness is all about. Your intimate relationship with your Thought Adjuster [TA - God within] leads you "Godward". It is a relationship that transforms your mind and makes you increasingly "godlike". 

A wholehearted devotion to the Adjuster's plan (God's plan) "spiritizes" you. You grow in grace and are made to be "increasingly" spiritually minded. The God-man (or God-woman) relationship makes you increasingly divine. This is your heritage. You receive more and more divine endowments and divine ennoblement, for your are "blessed with all spiritual blessings in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus". True spiritual growth means tapping more and more into the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ [Christ Michael]. 

As you partner with your Maker, you "are becoming God" and God (your Thought Adjuster, the Still Small Voice, the Inner Voice) is becoming you. You experience divinity in #God. Your God experiences humanity in you. 

Any SINCERE faith-liberated truth seeker on Earth knows that there's the human "thought" and there's the divine "thought" in his/her mind or life. He or she learns to differentiate between the two. Let us commit to being under the ministries of the TA, SOT and HS (Thought Adjuster, Spirit of Truth and Holy Spirit). Cheers!

Status of Lucifer and other Rebels

The Status of the rebels of the Lucifer Rebellion, as at WHEN the Urantia Book went to the press.

[NB: About 60 years later, the question is, "What is their present status"? Hahaha... :). Would you wait for a 2nd Edition of the UB to provide you that vital information or are you willing to ask your Thought Adjuster, right here and now?]

LUCIFER: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 45:1.11, "...the Satania prison worlds surrounding this planet, whereon are now confined Lucifer and the majority of those personalities who followed him in rebellion against Michael..."

SATAN: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 53:9.4, "...Satan is now unqualifiedly detained on the Jerusem prison worlds."

CALIGASTIA: Still free on Urantia. I jokingly [but sadly] call it, 'Free roaming'. Paper 53:8.6, "...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."

DALIGASTIA: I do not know. Please, do you? I cannot recall anywhere in the UB where his name was specifically mentioned, with regards to his status. I conjecture he may have been left to roam freely on Earth {Urantia} with his immediate supervisor, Caligastia. Or peharps, he was tossed into JPW.

REBEL SERAPHIM & CHERUBIM {Evil Angels}: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 45:1.10, "...the few seraphim and cherubim who went over to the rebels in the Satania rebellion have been long since confined on these isolation worlds of Jerusem."

REBEL MIDWAYERS (PRIMARY & SECONDARY) {Evil spirits and demons}: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 77:7.8, "The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they roam this world on mischief bent..."

As a scientist, I love acronyms. So, here are some acronyms. ;)

- Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW; Paper 53:9.4

- Isolation Worlds of Jerusem, IWJ; Paper 45:1.10

- Jerusem Rebel Detention Spheres, JRDS; coined from Paper 53:7.1
