Receive This Day My Mantle of Peace and Be Pilgrims of Peace
Thanksgiving Day Address
Part 3
I ask you to receive this day my mantle of peace and be pilgrims of peace. And therefore, watch in your own members1 as you determine to stand with the Elohim Peace and Aloha, with all of my bands and with Archangel Uriel and all those who serve in the flame of Cosmic Christ peace. See how you make a resolution this day to maintain perfect peace in heart and mind and soul, no matter who may approach or accost you or who may speak to you in a warring attitude.
Blessed ones, when you make this resolve to have the peace of Christ and not merely human peace but the peace-commanding presence of my heart in your heart, then you will see how people will come to attack you because they are angry with me and my flame of peace.
It is one thing to be a human, preaching human peace. It is another to walk the earth, striving for the attainment of your Christhood, yet bearing the burden of your karma and yet affirming:
“I will stand for peace. And wherever peace is violated, I will make the call and I will say to the very vortex of anger: ‘Peace, be still and know that I AM God!2 And know that the I AM in me is God. And I shall not be moved. I shall not be moved by any force or person or condition. None shall move me from my heart center of peace.’”
Well, beloved ones, if you decide to do this, you had better reach out to Archangel Michael each day to protect the flame of peace that you have determined to bear. You had better call forth your tube of light. You had better be ready to exorcise your own dweller-on-the-threshold and cast out the enemy within, as well as the enemy without, while befriending all people and not giving power to the division in their members or to the darkness they may yet harbor in the folds of the unconscious.
Yes, beloved, you will find that if you make this your goal, you will also have to make your goal your own adeptship to become the master of your own emotions and to not be moved by whatever may come upon you.
Thus, in the midst of my Presence and this Thanksgiving Day address, which I bring to you, it is almost too easy to decide to become a pilgrim of peace. Yes, it is easy when we are together, when we are one, when our auras are bonded and we are a part, a section of the mystical body of God gathered here on the mountain.
Then each one of you goes back to your nets, to your shop, to your household, to your responsibilities—some very great, affecting millions; some still very great but affecting only a small factory or a workshop somewhere. Wherever you are responsible, beloved, it is a major responsibility. For upon you hangs the proper functioning of the wheels of industry, of the spiritual path, of higher octaves and, yes, of coming with me when I make my descent into hell to preach to the rebellious spirits and to call them to be converted to Almighty God.3
Wherever you may go with angels of light in heaven or in hell, beloved, be the peace-commanding presence and be ready to defend your very person and your mission. Be not afraid to start this mission because you know it has challengers, but begin. For remember when I was in the garden—“Father, if thou be willing, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.”4
Through the night in agony, when I made my decision, angels came to minister unto me.5 They have never left me. And other tens of thousands of legions have stayed with me. When your commitment is to the will of God, no matter what it will cost—your human ego, your reputation—remember, I who made of myself no reputation6 have had the reinforcement of all angels of heaven and armies of heaven. Thus, when you know clearly you have not surrendered to the will of God, I say, you allow yourself to drift in no-man’s land.
You dare linger no longer than a night in the garden midst the olive trees in Gethsemane, no longer, beloved. For if you take longer to decide, you are vulnerable, totally vulnerable. For not having committed to the will of God, you will not have the reinforcement of angels. Not having committed to the evil side, their armies will attack you. Surely you will say, “Woe is me!” when you have failed to surrender to the will of God.
Thus, what have I said this day? Mercy is the key. Surrender to the will of God is the key. Keep on keeping on and decide what flame you shall bring to this earth. Perhaps we shall have so many of those who become pilgrims of peace—carrying the sword of peace that is a flaming flame of purple and ruby and gold—that there shall be a staying of the malintent of hundreds of thousands of individuals upon this earth, beloved, who have sworn to get the technology and the weapons to wage their vengeance upon what they still call the “Great Satan America.”
These trials and tribulations of this century and the next are not by any means resolved. And I can tell you, the only resolution that shall make a difference in this earth, now or at any time through the entire Aquarian age, is the one individual, individual by individual, who makes his resolution with God, with those whom he has wronged, with those who have wronged him, and determines that he will draw down the power of his own Christhood and therefore stand against the forces of Antichrist—fully, fully protected and sponsored by the heavenly hosts.
Take courage, beloved! For the pure in heart shall see God.7 Take courage, beloved, for the pure in heart shall win as long as they recognize that in this world one must also be astute and know the Mammon of this world8 and not be fooled by him.
Thus, beloved, continue to mark the signs of the prophecies we have already given to the messenger. Continue to study the next year and the next. And always be watchful that what you do and say is pleasing to God and can be shouted from the housetops and will never do injury to another or cause another to be burdened. This is the sign of Sagittarius.* This is [also] the sign when you make your karma in the throat chakra by the misuse of the power of the spoken word.†
Now you have daily planners. Why not mark at the end of each day, as Ben Franklin would and would have, whether or not you misused the power of the spoken word in any way, even in the slightest put-down of another to elevate your own poor faltering ego.
I came to America with the Pilgrims. I was here two thousand years ago. I have been in the earth many tens of thousands of years. I have seen everything, and I know every lifestream in embodiment and those waiting to embody, intimately. For I am Jesus, your brother, the Son of God, waiting to take your hand that you might be my twin9 because you have determined to embody my Christ, thy Christ.
Now then, I would bless the bread and the wine. Communion servers, come forward.
[The messenger: In this song “Break Thou the Bread of Life,” you’re asking Jesus to break that bread of life. So turn to it.]
[Hymn 131, “Break Thou the Bread of Life,” sung once:] Break Thou the Bread of Life
Break thou the bread of Life Dear Lord, to me
As thou didst break the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page
I seek thee, Lord; my spirit pants for thee O living Word.
Bless thou the truth, dear Lord To me, to me
As thou didst bless the bread by Galilee.
Then shall all bondage cease
All fetters fall, and I shall find my peace— My All-in-all.
Thou art the bread of Life O Lord, to me
Thy holy Word, the truth that saveth me.
Give me to eat and live
With thee above; teach me to love thy truth For thou art Love.
O send thy Spirit, Lord Now unto me
That he may touch my eyes and make me see Show me the truth concealed
Within thy Word and in thy Book revealed I see thee, Lord.
Blessing of Holy Communion by Jesus Christ:
Unto thee, O my beloved, I give my Body and my Blood. By the Holy Spirit, now let this transubstantiation be accomplished. By the alchemy of my heart, let this bread, this wine be a portion of myself. Drink ye all of it.10
Take me. Assimilate me. Become who I am. Be my twin. This I decree, O my beloved, that you might go forth in my peace-commanding presence, in your own God Presence, and accomplish in this day the victory whose hour is come because your hour is come.
I am your Jesus, affirming your victory. And I send the all-consuming fire of God to consume the dross that has burdened you too long.
In my heart you may retreat. So retreat to my Sacred Heart—at any hour of the day or night, whether in sorrow or in joy you cannot contain—retreat to the bridal chamber of my heart.11 And I am there and thou art my brides.
Thus, in the spirit of victory let us count the days to the coming of Mighty Victory to summer quarter of Summit University. In the name of God, I am with you always12 and never far from you. Remember to seek me always in time of trouble, in time of decision and at any time at all.
Pax vobiscum.

*I.e., this is the cycle of the power center of the throat chakra under the hierarchy of Sagittarius, where we pass the initiations of the mastery of the Word in God-Victory.
† I.e., this is the cycle where we make negative karma in Sagittarius by failing to overcome resentment, revenge and retaliation in the misuse of the power of the spoken word.

This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, 1993, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Part 1 of Jesus Christ’s dictation is printed in Vol. 48 no. 3. Part 2 is printed in Vol. 48 no. 4.
1. Rom. 7:23; James 4:1; I Pet. 2:11.
2. Mark 4:39; Ps. 46:10.
3. The initiation of the descent into hell. It is a Christian belief that between his crucifixion and resurrection Jesus descended into hell where he preached and brought salvation to souls imprisoned there. Christian tradition states that this was not “hell” as the state of eternal punishment for sin but a realm where all the dead abided. In a dictation delivered on Easter Sunday, April 6, 1969, through the messenger Mark L. Prophet, Jesus said he had come to exhort us with the same sermon he had preached to “the rebellious spirits that in the days of Noah were disobedient unto God.... I preached and repreached and spoke again and again to each soul that I could find there who was in chains of bondage and despair. Many gazed upon me with dullness in their eyes, the dullness of despair, the centuries of timeworn care and fear and doubt. The very light of God seemed to them [to be] put out and I sought to rekindle it then as I do today to rekindle it in you God’s way.” (This dictation by Jesus Christ is on the album Only Mark 16 and is also available at AscendedMasterLibrary.org, Jesus Christ, April 6, 1969, “Renewal and Commemoration.”)
4. Matt. 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-47. The messengers have taught that Jesus submitted to the initiation of the dark night of the soul in the garden of Gethsemane in preparation for the initiation of the crucifixion. Jesus bore the entire planetary momentum of attack by fallen angels, who came to torture his soul in an hour when his disciples fell asleep.
5. Luke 22:43. Among the angels who ministered to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane are the Angel of Peace, the archeia Holy Amethyst and the Angel of Gethsemane. Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, in The Masters and Their Retreats, elaborate on these angels: “The Angel of Peace ...was ...one of the ministering angels who, together with Holy Amethyst, kept the vigil with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was one of the heavenly hosts sent by God to sustain Jesus after he had prayed, saying, ‘Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.’ Although the Father, acting in conformity to his own Law, did not ‘remove this cup,’ he did send his archangels and archeiai and, among others, this Angel of Peace to strengthen Jesus in his resolve to do the will of God. The fiery presence of these angels served as electrodes to magnetize the flames of peace and power, healing and truth, faith and hope and reality from Jesus’ own causal body, thereby aiding Jesus in bringing the full momentum of his own light to bear upon the betrayal, the trial and the crucifixion that lay before him” (p. 31). The Angel of Gethsemane is also “one who ministered to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He comes to strengthen the body of God upon earth as he strengthened Jesus in the Garden. The Angel of Gethsemane has released one dictation [‘To Strengthen the Body of God Upon Earth,’ April 12, 1979]. He said, ‘My strengthening is for the hour when you also must be alone in the Garden, unsupported by those well-meaning ones around you, in the hour when you, too, must say, “If thou be willing, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, Father, not my will but thine be done.” And when you have spoken the word, “thy will be done,” then and only then shall I appear to strengthen you for the most glorious of initiations—the hour of the crucifixion when the Christ is liberated fully and the soul prepares for the resurrection’” (pp. 29-30).
6. Phil. 2:5-8.
7. Matt. 5:8.
8. Matt. 6:24; Luke 16:13.
9. Jesus’ twin. The Gnostic scripture the Gospel of Thomas is attributed to Judas Thomas, who is called Jesus’ “twin.” The messenger has explained: “Some people have mistakenly interpreted the concept of Thomas as Jesus’ twin as meaning a physical twin brother. [But the Gnostics understood that] as we aspire and become our Real Self, we are becoming one with that Christ Self. The Christ Self of us is also the Christ of Jesus. They are one and the same. So when we become like, or the reflection of, our Holy Christ Self, we also become the twin of Jesus.” (See Jesus Christ, “I Will Come When You Have Matched My Light!” in 2004 Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 47, no. 33, August 15, 2004, pp. 155-57 n. 4; and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “The Lost Teachings of Jesus on the Gospel of Thomas,” Part I, October 13, 1991, and Part II, October 11, 1992.)
10. Matt. 26:27, 28.
11. Matt. 25:1-13. For Gnostic teaching on the bridal chamber, see the Gospel of Philip in James M. Robinson, ed., The Nag Hammadi Library in English (San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1978), pp. 140, 141-43, 144, 145, 149, 150, 151.
12. Matt. 28:20.
