Thou child of quiet desperation of confusion and conflict and ensuing chaos .. I am come to raise my children of the earth unto childlike humility .. of growth in the meanings of the spiritual realities .. and of the maturing grace of character righteousness.
True and genuine inward certainty and everlasting security does not in the least fear outward analysis .. nor does truth resent honest criticism.
You should never forget that intolerance is the mask covering up the entertainment of secret doubts as to the trueness of one’s belief.
No man is at any time disturbed by his neighbor’s attitude when he has perfect confidence in the truth of that which he wholeheartedly believes.
Courage is the confidence of thoroughgoing honesty about those things which one professes to believe.
Sincere men are unafraid of the critical examination of their true convictions and noble ideals.
Where you discover the limits of your science and philosophy of intellectual pursuit...I merely begin with you in our Universe Association!
On the second evening at The Salvington School, Juan Pablo asked Jesus Michael this question:
“Master, how can a new believer in your teaching really know, really be certain, about the truth of this gospel of the kingdom?”
And I, Jesus Christ Michael said to Juan Pablo of Spain:
“Your assurance that you have entered into the kingdom family of the Father, and that you will eternally survive with the children of the kingdom, is wholly a matter of personal experience—faith in the word of truth.
Spiritual assurance is the equivalent of your personal religious experience in the eternal realities of divine truth and is otherwise equal to your intelligent understanding of truth realities plus your spiritual faith and minus your honest doubts.
The 'Son' is naturally endowed with the life of the Father. Having been endowed with the living spirit of the Father, you are therefore sons and daughters of God.
You survive your life in the material world of the flesh because you are identified with the Father’s living spirit, the gift of eternal life.
Many, indeed, had this life before I came forth from the Father, and many more have received this spirit because they believed my word; but I declare that, when I return to the Father, he will send his spirit into the hearts of all women and men.
While you cannot observe the divine spirit at work in your minds, there is a practical method of discovering the degree to which you have yielded the control of your soul powers to the teaching and guidance of this indwelling spirit of the heavenly Father, and that is the degree of your love for your fellow men.
This spirit of the Father partakes of the love of the Father, and as it dominates man, it unfailingly leads in the directions of divine worship and loving regard for one’s fellows.
At first you believe that you are sons and daughters of God because my teaching has made you more conscious of the inner leadings of our Father’s indwelling presence; but presently the Spirit of Truth is now already poured out upon all flesh in this 21st century ever since my days of the 1st century, and it will live amongst all men and women .. and teach all women and men, even as I now live amongst you and speak to you the words of truth.
And this Spirit of Truth, speaking for the spiritual endowments of your souls, shall help you to know that you are the daughters and the sons of God.
It will unfailingly bear witness with the Father’s indwelling presence, your spirit, then dwelling in all men and women as it now dwells in some, telling you that you are in reality the sons and daughters of God.
