Hail, sons and daughters of flame! And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I AM come in the flaming spirit of the LORD’s host. I come in love to deliver unto you the fire of salvation, and I come in the still small voice within your heart.
I come not to offend but to defend by the sword of living truth. And I raise my sword to cut you free from all that would impose itself upon your soul, your evolution into the one flame of life. I AM the defender of your consciousness of God. I AM the defender of good and goodwill.
I come where there are those who would not be defended, who prefer to entertain an entourage of demons and fallen ones and spirits that mutter and peep. Well, I say, if you would have God, you cannot also keep the fallen ones, for the two are incompatible. What fellowship hath light with darkness?1 Now I come to test your hearts. If you would really have God in this age, then I ask you, what are you willing to surrender to have God and to experience him in the here and now?
Are you willing to surrender your spiritual pride? [“Yes!”] And your ambition to be thought wise among men? [“Yes!”] And are you willing to sacrifice those self-indulgences that tear you from the Path, the homeward path? [“Yes!”]
Only by free will do the LORD and his hosts enter in to your temple. You must invite the legions of angels or they will stand without. For, you see, the angels of our bands are trained in holy protocol. They have the understanding, all too well, of the dos and don’ts of the heavenly hierarchy. As God has vouchsafed to you the gift of free will, so the angelic hosts will wait to be invited, to be bidden to enter. And this is why it is written, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”2
In entertaining the stranger that is in thy gate, you often find yourself in the presence of the angelic hosts. But you need not wait for the passing stranger. For we are here in living, tangible fire!
Prove me now therefore. Ask me, then, of things to come. Command ye me, as it is written and as it has been taught to you this day.3
I say, then, I will enter the hearts, the minds, the auras of those who would bid me enter. You have but to speak within your heart to me and to say, “In the name of Jesus the Christ, Lord Michael, I bid you enter my house.”
[Congregation gives the call to Archangel Michael:]
In the name of Jesus the Christ, Lord Michael, I bid you enter my house.
In the name of Jesus the Christ, I call my legions and I enter with my sword of blue flame. And as you have bid me enter, so I say, I will not leave that house as I find it. But I will cleanse it and I will chase the demons. And I will chase the spirits that torment the mind and the emotions, and I will chase the dampness and the dank of sorrow. I will chase from you those psychic impostors who do not observe heavenly protocol and therefore who, in your own unguarded moment, have entered there unwanted, uninvited.
I say in the name of Jesus the Christ, let them be gone! Bind them by the power of the flame of the Holy Ghost! Bind them in his name! Bind them and let them be removed!
For I AM the Archangel of the Deliverance and I come forth to set the captives free. I come forth to deliver you from the toils of the spoilers and to deliver you into the arms of the everlasting God. I do not come to possess but to divest you of all that is unnecessary, all that is debris on the homeward march. I come also to enlist you in the service of the Lord Christ, to invite you to join the legions of Archangel Michael, the hosts of the LORD, who come following the Faithful and True, who leads the armies of heaven into battle for and on behalf of the souls of God on earth.4
I AM Michael, and because I affirm my reality and my identity to you this day, you too can confirm your own reality in Christ. Have you ever wondered whether or not you really exist, who you are, where you came from, if God really exists and if Christ is able to save your soul unto the everlasting love of God?
This wondering, precious ones, is certainly normal, given the exigencies of time and space. May I also mention, however, that the wondering concerning the manifestation of God ought not to be. For you live and move and have your being within his holy flame, and you cannot be absent from the LORD God. But because, by disobedience, you have lost your sight and lost your way and have become the blind followers of the blind, you require faith.
And therefore, seeing the plight of mankind, I went before the Almighty One aeons ago to invoke the flame of faith, to draw that flame from my heart and from the heart of God, and to place it upon the altar of humanity as my gift during the dark ages, when mankind would wonder and question as to whether life is real and as to whether the promises of God will ever be fulfilled.
Well, I am here to tell you that I have seen him face to face, that I have even this day conferred with the Lord Christ concerning your salvation. And he has sent me to this place to deliver you from those fallen ones who would take you out of the way and into the paths of Antichrist. And so I have come, and every one of you who would be delivered from sin and the sense of sin and from struggle and the sense of struggle may have my unfailing, undying support this day and every day.
I will come to you. I am the servant of the Christ, who lives within you. I bow before you. For I am of the angelic hosts, fashioned by God to be ministering unto the evolutions of his sons and daughters.
Do you not understand that the angelic evolutions are the willing servants of mankind? But of late, mankind have failed to call upon us and to call us into action. And therefore I say to you, as we await your invitation to come into your house, so we must also await your invitation to come into this octave. For we are dwellers of the planes of Spirit, and we make our abode in heaven. If you would have us on earth, you must invite us. And this is the purpose of the invocations that are given, not only to Michael but to all of the archangels and heavenly hosts, that we might come into your midst and give you the protection which is lawfully yours.
How often we have watched as you have walked in danger, as you have had those experiences unfortunate, accidents as well as injuries to the heart, the mind, the emotions. We would have stepped forth to protect you with our light, to shield you with our momentum. But, alas, the call was not given, and by cosmic law we were forbidden to enter there.
O precious ones, we make known to you the laws that have been taken from you so easily by the fallen ones who have entered even into the churches, even into the synagogues. And they have come to steal the light of the Christ from the holy innocents.
Do you not understand that communion with the angelic hosts was acceptable and understood? Was it unusual for Mary to receive the visitation of Gabriel—or for Elizabeth or Anna and Joachim to know this archangel of the LORD? They welcomed him as friend. They knew him of old.
In the time of the early Christians, as they faced the lions, as they were thrown there and they sang their hymns, I tell you of a surety that we stood with them and they beheld the legions of angels. And thus, though they passed through the transition of death, they had the courage to stand because they had the vision not only of the Lord Christ but of all of the heavenly hosts who assisted in the translation of their souls into etheric octaves of light.
Some of you know of the presence of my own flame in the hour of the passing of Joan of Arc, when I counseled her to breathe in the smoke that she might pass without pain from the screen of life. It was the faith that was transferred to her throughout her mission that enabled her to be victorious for France and for the threefold flame—which is the symbol of France, the fleur-de-lis—that fire that burns on the altar of every heart.
Precious ones, although you have not known me, I have been with you and with your souls throughout the ages as you have pursued the Path in this and many climes. And some of you question whether or not you have lived before. I tell you, it is not whether you have lived before but that you have always been alive forevermore in the very bosom of God, that your souls are coexistent with the Christed One, that you can say with Christ, “Before Abraham was, I AM.”5
For that portion of your soul that is real has been hid with Christ in God from the Beginning. And therefore, reincarnation as a science and a doctrine of the early Church was indeed taught by the Lord Christ, and yet it has almost been removed entirely from the recorded scripture.
May I say to you that it is the incarnation of the Word that your soul continues to experience age after age and cycle after cycle. It is the soul incarnating in the Word of God, the soul entering into the Christ flame.
And it is the LORD God that is able to clothe that soul and that flame again and again with the coats of skins which he placed upon man and woman when he sent them forth from the Garden of Eden.6 These coats of skins are vehicles of consciousness whereby your soul is able to function in these planes of Matter and planes of density and pollution.
And therefore, to experience God and to be given the opportunity of free will to choose to be one with him, you are given opportunity again and again to be on earth that the salvation of God may come to you. Do you understand that this opportunity that is given again and again is the very mercy of the Law? [“Yes.”]
What do you suppose, precious ones, is the fate of one who sins and then is immediately taken from the screen of life?
Is it the act of a merciful God to commend that soul to eternal damnation because that soul has erred and gone astray?
I tell you this is not the way of God, but it is the doctrine of the fallen ones, who have inserted their false doctrine in the sacred scriptures and, therefore, caused mankind to fear the eternal hellfires and to be in such fear of God that they have forgotten that God is a God of love. And therefore, for certain cycles, even thousands of years, God gives to his children the opportunity to make good, to right every wrong, to balance every jot and tittle of the Law, to take incarnation again and again in order to clear the record, to fulfill the vows which the soul makes before the living God, and to balance every deed that is committed against life.
Now you are living in an age which is the turning of cycles. Indeed it is the end of an age and the beginning of a new age, which we call the age of Aquarius. Therefore in this hour of cycles turning, there is an open door—an open door to the cycles of God’s consciousness whereby you are given the opportunity to have the teachings of Christ which are not recorded in sacred scripture but which you can know by the flame in your heart. By the application of these teachings and by the invocation of the Word, you can invoke that flame of God to pass through your consciousness for the righting of all wrong—past, present and future. This is the law of forgiveness.
And therefore I say, consider well your opportunity to invoke the light of God in this age. Do not take it lightly, but ponder in your heart all that you have heard this day and then ask me for that sign, that certain sign. And I, Michael, promise you that if you have but a grain of faith, I will come to you. Then upon that faith, I will arc my light and show you the proof of the living Christ, both within you and within Jesus, and of the mission that he has given to me to rescue your soul in this age.
O beloved of God, beloved of God, how I have known you from the Beginning. How I have been one with you. How I have come to walk by your side. And in answer to the prayers of many on earth, I have been able to keep you in the way of God. I give my gift to you today and every day. I ask you to welcome the legions of angels that descend, in answer to the call of the Lord Jesus Christ, from the heart of the Father. These are the legions which he could have invoked in the hour of his judgment. But he chose instead to submit to the judgment of this world that, in turn, those who made themselves the judge of Christ could be judged by God.
When you allow yourself to also be persecuted and judged and tormented by the powers of this world, you will find that the light of the Christ himself is with you to see you through and that the legions of his angels will defend you in the hour of your trial and your testing. And this is in order that the hearts might be sifted and that the thoughts of men’s hearts might be revealed. For unless that light of the Christ descends through those who are here on earth, then the light will not be separated from the darkness, and the seed of Christ and the seed of the wicked will not receive the judgment.
Rejoice, then, that the days should be shortened for the elect. For unless the days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved.7
Rejoice, then, that the LORD God reigneth, that he is omnipotent and that he is the judge and that he lives within your heart in that blessed Christ flame.
Rejoice that the emissaries of God are real and that God himself will send to you, at any hour of the day or night in answer to your call, angelic beings, masterful beings, the Virgin Mary, and the precious seraphim and cherubim.
I come in love, with the comfort of the Holy Spirit. I come for the consolation of Israel, for all who abide in the flame of reality and know that my house of Israel is the house of all that is real in God and man.
I come. I AM with you alway, Michael, Defender of the Faith! I AM WHO I AM!
