SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Matthew 6:32-33. "For after all these things do the Gentiles seek;for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things - But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you".

Luke 12:32, "Fear not little flock for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom".

We also know that this kingdom is of the Spirit, because in John 6:63, Jesus says, "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are Life".

Therefore, we know and expect to find the kingdom (the Father) in Spirit. Yes, by spiritualizing your physical consciousness you will see the Light of your Father, your eternal part; your Angelic self which really exists.

However, until you do see the Light and your Father, you must depend on the promptings of your heart; which is the sanctuary of the still small voice of your Father (if you are male) or Mother (if you are female), that eternal part of yourself.

Seek the Light for the Light's sake. No imagery, no bowing of heads, no confession to any one but yourself. Bow not your head in prayer, but lift thine head and thine eyes. Within and above is the location of the Light which leads to your God or Goddess. John 17:1,' `These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to Heaven..." .

Man does not live by bread alone. He requires spiritual knowledge to bring him into divine truth and closer to the Light. The Father is close above you, just as Jesus' Father was above Him. The heavens were the dome of His Church, and at will, Jesus called to His Father to let His Light shine down. The Father and Jesus were One: just as you may become one with your Father or Mother; if you will work to accomplish it.

When ye pray, pray not for things of earth as the heathen do, but with uplifted head, pray to your Father to give you what is best for you. Pray to your Father to bring you closer to Him. Remember, if you pray for earth earthly things this will take you further away from Him. As He was the creator of YOU and is the eternal part of you, He knows what is best for YOU even though you are in the physical body. Matthew (1:8,". . . your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him".

Reach out to know your God. Continue to seek and find. Then when you know you have a Father or Mother (a kingdom of God) you will become more in tune with Him or Her. Realize you must seek for yourself. Come into the understanding of the Father. Find that which gold and silver cannot buy.

Each person has his Angel of Light always near. Therefore, in going through earthly experiences, if you will look up to this Angel of Light which is God the Father, you will find a heaven where help is always near at hand. Seek this understanding of the Father. He is never far from you. He never withdraws from you, even when you have a physical cross to carry.

You have that spiritual television always ready to use, if you care to put forth the desire to use it.

As you reach out to become better acquainted with your Guardian Angel, your Father, realize you are an individual becoming One with God. Try spiritualizing your physical Consciousness. Give it a good trial, and you will find as you come closer to the Light of your Father, that attainments never dreamed of by the body will come to you.

Blessed Ones of earth you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. What profiteth a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul? We are the prodigal sons and daughters who must return to our Fathers and Mothers (see Luke 15:11-32).

THE FATHER AND I ARE ONE

The most outstanding phrases spoken by Jesus, which are the least understood are John 10:30, "I and my Father are One" and Matthew 6:33,' `But seek yefirst the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you". They both mean the same thing, which Is the "Eternal Spirit Part" of yourself.

Jesus was the first who had ever attempted to teach all people that they were individualized Gods and Goddesses; and where to find that God of each. Jesus plainly says in John 10:8, "All that ever came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them", this means that a one universal God in form, was, and is false! He then directed them how to seek and become One with that eternal part of themselves. Jesus referred to God the Father so many times, and gave all credit and all power to Him. John 5:19, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself'.

Therefore, if you will read the Bible (the King James VERSION) with this new understanding of the Father, which is the kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of Heaven, you will get the true meaning of Jesus' teachings.

Jesus' teachings were and are to acquaint all people of the earth with this fact: that you may and must become conscious of the eternal part of yourself. Do not remain lost In the desires of the body which is merely a garment for your expression while in the physical realm.

Again John 10:8, "All that ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them", and Luke 16:16, "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it". Remember the meaning of the kingdom of God & the Father are one and the same. The eternal God presence of yourself is attached to your human body, and is always close to you. He is waiting for your recognition. He waits to pour into your life the truths He knows from His eternal existence that you may be blessed with the knowledge of Life Eternal. In turn, help others along the path who are tired of bondage by the physical body.

You need no one to intercede, plead, or pray to God for you. All is within your own reach. He is a part of you which you are not conscious of. He is waiting for you to turn your burning desire to know of Him. Develop a longing filled with your Love, Devotion, Adoration and Attention to Him through spiritual aspirations. Lay aside the physical desires which are the obstacles you must clear from your path to find Him or Her.

Know that Life is Eternal. Know that your pilgrimage here on earth becomes a recurrance by compulsion, until you find and express the fullness of your Father. Until you can say: "Thy WILL be done", NOT my will, not the physical will, but THY WILL. Know that you are lost in the desires and fancies of the physical senses, which keep you ever occupied from finding time to seek your Father or Mother.

As in the words of Jesus, John 3:13, "And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven, even the son of man which is in Heaven", thus making it plain that Spirit Life is first and last, and that the earth life is merely a visit. This visit as a compulsory one until we reach that stage of consciousness, in which we can attain spiritual unfoldment, thus purifying ourselves, and freeing us from further physical embodiments.

Again, quoting John 10:34, "Is it not written in your law (Psalm 82:6), I said ye are Gods?" also in John 8:28-29, "Then said Jesus unto them, when ye have lifted up the son of man, then shall ye know that I am He and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath taught me; I speak these things, and He that sent Me is with Me, the Father hath not left Me alone,for I do always those things that please Him".

By true interpretation this means a) "When ye have lifted up the son of man", meaning, when by your efforts, not His, you have lifted up the son of man (your physical consciousness to spiritual consciousness) and, are able to see with your spiritual eye and observe the eternal part of yourself; which is your God and Father; b) "Then shall ye know that I am He and do nothing of myself', or, Ye shall know that by your experience of seeing your individualized God, that ye, too, have an individualized God, your eternal spirit body, and know, you are He and by reason of its perfection you do nothing of yourself if you are One with Him; c) "He that sent me is with me, the Father hath not left me alone for I do always those things that please Him", meaning, by reason of your becoming One with your Father, He is always with you; and for you to always do the things pertaining to spiritual laws and life. Never let the desires of the physical body in anyway influence your actions.

Thus Jesus' statement in John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you - He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father".

Provide yourself with time to produce spiritual growth of Light. Then spread your Light into the paths of others and ye will be laying up treasures of Heaven. Bring others into the pathway, which leads them to their highway. As that final gateway to eternity is opened they will find, as they enter, a consciousness of Heaven or Hell; the treasures they have laid up for themselves.

CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER UPON THE EARTH

The heading of this chapter comes from Matthew 23:9, "And call no man your Father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in Heaven. " To understand fully, we must interject another of Jesus' sayings from John 6:63, "It is the SpIrit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are Life".

Thus we read the heading, "Call No Man Your Father Upon Earth", calling your attention to the fact that you are Spirit always, whether in or out of the body; that the body is meerely a house of clay, a domicile or temple of the Living God - your Spirit.

Jesus is no different now than He was when in His earthly body. His interest is to acquaint all people with the truth of eternal life and to direct you into the type of life which will attain that knowledge, based on the degree of your desire and your willingness to put forth the effort to reach that goal.

People of the earth, open your minds and hearts to the words I give you, then as you draw closer into the presence of your God, you will be living within the peace that you are seeking, the Peace of the Light and Truth. Your God will always be there if you believe these words of Truth and Light.

As you listen or read, I ask you to take heed. Today, you people of earth are living in your house of clay, but tomorrrow you may call, "Oh God help me for I am at the end of my earthly roadway from whence I go into my spirit home". Know that you have been given the opportunity to be prepared for entrance into Eternal Life. Yours is the Free Choice to make. Make it now or regret it later.

I say to you as you enter into the Spirit World, if you have the knowledge of what awaits you there, happiness, life, and Light will be yours. You will be free of the shackles of the earth and can continue your journey onward and upward into the Spirit World of Light. These are the things which will bring you peace; peace while you are finding more Light. The truth of Jesus' teachings and the kingdom of your God and all else shall be yours.

Reach forth up into the Light. Nothing can harm you if you will continue to have the desire and put forth the effort to Spiritualize Your Physical Consciousness. Then, as you do that, you will see, know, and understand that the words I give to you are for the Brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. These words will give you a different view as you mingle day by day with the people of the earth.

So, I say to you, one of the greatest realities is knowing the Truth, that each one of you is a God or Goddess.

Let your Light shine forth that others may know the Truth of Everlasting Life. Each one of you can spread the Light wherever you are, wherever you go. Let your Light shine that others may know they can live in a Heaven on earth. Know that within your heart and consciousness, progression spiritually and materially can be yours. The abundance of spiritual knowledge and material gain can and will be yours, if you will live close in the Light of your God.

Seek ye first the kingdom of your God and all things will be given to you. Do not put aside your desire for spiritual knowledge which is waiting for you, if you will put forth the effort to attain it. All that is needed is your desire for spiritual progression, and to put forth the effort to attain it. It is for you to decide. Free Choice is yours.

Reach into the Light of your God. Take hold of the willingness of your God who will assist you to know and understand these words you hear and read. There, in the Light of your God, the assistance will be given to you to know and understand that all the problems in your pathway of life can be as naught. Your God will assist you with, and through, the Light regardless of whether your problems are spiritual or material. The Light of your God will give you the answer and assist you to know the truth; and the Truth will set you free.

I say to you, if you put forth the effort to come into full Oneness with the Light of your God, the things that are trials to you will become as naught. Be steadfast and true to your God and know that His Love will help you. Always remember that the Love of your God will never fail you. However. If you wander away from the Light, you yourself are as the words, "the prodigal son that wandered away from the Light of your God". Remember, your God is a God of Love. not a God of fear.

Cast out of your mind all fear; fear of the things in your earthly pathway. Then there will come to you an understanding, if you keep close to the Light of your God, an understanding that will bring to you peace in your heart and mind.

Review the darkest, saddest places and conditions that each one of you has been through, and you will understand the meaning of these words. Where did you go in your thoughts and heart? Did you say, "Oh God help me" even though you knew not the meaning of Jesus' words that ye are Gods & Goddesses?
