Fear not, little flock. It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.1
The kingdom of light's domain that is within the center of your heart is the gift of the Father of lights.2 That gift comes to you when you are ready to open the package, and as long as it is sealed you do not benefit from the light that is there. You may acknowledge that the kingdom of God is within you,3 but until you release the energy of that kingdom by the fiat of the spoken Word, you dwell yet in outer darkness.
All hail! I AM come, and my presence before you is the spiritual light body, my ascended light body, which even the disciples did not see as I rose from their midst forty days after the resurrection of my body temple.
You ask for a sign, yet signs have been given. And the only sign that shall be given is the sign of the prophet Jonas, for as he was three days in the belly of the whale, so shall you be three days in the tomb of Mater.4 Aborning again in the womb of the Divine Mother, you also can emerge as the Christ victorious, drenched with the fires of the resurrection.
The sign of the Second Coming of Christ is the sign of the light within you, for the light which I AM is already in manifestation. It has been, it shall be, it is forevermore the living Christ Presence. And lo, I AM here! Lo, I AM there!
Let no man, let no woman limit the communication of the Lord or the communicants of the Lord’s body. Indeed all things are possible with him. And therefore, do not be dismayed when you see the sign of the Word incarnate first appearing as my Word and my testimony in this octave. For the delivery of the Word of the Almighty as I speak it through this messenger presages the dawn when I shall appear in physical, tangible manifestation to be among you and to take you into my arms as the sheep of the Father’s pasture.
The process whereby heaven descends to earth is a gradual one, a step-by-step lowering of divine energies into the octaves of human experience. And line by line, step-by-step, as mankind put on the Christ consciousness, they are raised. And as their earth consciousness is raised and spiritualized, they meet the Christ in the air,5 in the holy rapture. And thus, heaven descends, earth rises, and the communion place is that secret place, that dwelling place of the Christ in God and in man. This is the fusion of the elements when there is a melting with a fervent heat6 of those densities of carnal-mindedness, when the LORD God Almighty raises his hands and his scepter of authority to roll up darkness, to roll back the hordes of night and to make way for the Prince of Peace.
I AM come, and I bear witness of the Father, even as you bear witness within your heart of my coming. You have waited long for the promise of salvation and for its fulfillment. And when you feel the Presence draw nigh and yourself drawing nigh to the living Christ, fear not. For in those days that are prophesied of the Second Coming and of the end of the known order, there is that weeping and gnashing of teeth7 and men's hearts failing them for fear.8
The fear that comes upon mankind as the Presence of God draws nigh is the juxtaposition of the darkness with the light. The increase of light is an increase of consciousness, and if the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!9
I come to intensify and consume all darkness before the moment of the flame when all that is less than the Christ is consumed in the fiery trial of the Final Judgment. That darkness is as a shroud, a grave cloth, that is overwhelming to the soul. Plagued with doubts and fears and death, mankind come to the altar of the Lord and they know not that he indeed is priest at the altar of the sacred fire.
And so you come to understand how the rivers of darkness flow, how the tide rises upon earth. It is the preparation for the consuming of all that is unfit to dwell in the habitation of the Most High God. Yet your souls were created by him, and within that soul is the seed, the germinal power of freedom, of Christed being, the potential to be God in manifestation.
And this is the message of the coming of Christ. This is the message which I preached to the dark ones and the fallen ones in the astral depths. The message of hope, of salvation is given to all. And those who have the courage to face the tide, the oncoming tide of collective darkness, will experience that night in Gethsemane’s garden. And that night may endure for a time, but joy, joy cometh in the morning10 with the dawn of opportunity to submit to the will of God.
The release of my soul with the words “Not my will but thine be done, O Lord”11 was the release of all that remained of even the shell of a conscious outer identity. And as I stood before the tribunal of the world, I was filled with the presence of the Holy Ghost and I was at once before the throne room of the Almighty and before Pilate's face.
You, too, can become aware simultaneously of several octaves of experience. You can hover over your form and consciousness and observe the trials and the overcoming victories. And thus you see yourself not only in that form, but you see the Christ as the True Self in every form. And your heart is saddened to see how mankind do not understand that the Christ dwells in them. You see how, by the lines of hardness of heart and mind and by the wretchedness of the insanity that has been projected upon them by the dark ones, they no longer have the chalice mind to express that mind which was in me12 and which I impart to all.
O LORD God Almighty, O Father, hear my call. I stand before the earth, before mankind this day and I cry out, as of old, O God, take them. Take them. Gather them into thy oneness. Make them one, even as we are one.13
As I look upon the earth and I see those tests which shall shortly come upon the human race, I long to hold everyone in my embrace, but I know that each man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling,14 with joy and rejoicing. All of the hierarchies of light, the angelic hosts, the saints of heaven gather, and they pour out vials of love for the succoring of the children, for the nourishing of the mature, to lend assistance and the aura of hope in all ways. But not for a moment can the intercession of one of the heavenly hosts take place—in the sense that God will not deprive you of your overcoming victory, of your self-mastery, of the opportunity to prove the Law, which I proved forevermore, of the victory over death and the victory over hell.
Peace, be still, and know that I AM God!15 I AM Jesus of Nazareth. I stand before you to anoint you with the holy oil of the resurrection that you might find the spiral of your overcoming victory.
Behold, I AM alive forevermore!16 I AM alive within the heart of each one. I AM the fullness of the Christ within each one. I AM the way. I AM the truth. I AM the life.17
O world, look up and behold your God! And see how God has prepared the way for you to merge into his oneness. See how God has released the glory of his light this Easter morn. See how the angelic hosts gather in the City of the Angels and the seven archangels have come to honor the Christ, not alone in myself but in every one of you. For you are joint heirs in the Christ consciousness18 and in the opportunity to be all that I AM. This is cosmic justice. This is the light fire from on high that descends with a crescendo of God's own harmony, of the harmony of his mind, releasing all spheres into unity and drawing all into the center of the one flame that is the flame of life.
Let the warning go forth to the nations that they must bow before the living God. And the nation which allows compromise with the ways of the wicked, with the Liar and his lies, shall be cut down and brought low.
Therefore let every man and every woman take the responsibility of calling upon the name of the Lord daily for the salvation of this nation under God and of every nation under God. Let prayer ring as the bell of soul awareness. And the great tolling of the bell whereby the soul dies unto mortality and lives unto immortality is the sound which calls forth the hierarchy of light and is the merging, as Above, so below, of spirals of infinite consciousness, including all lifewaves, all evolutions.
The holy rapture, which many have described, is in fact a great spiral of the cosmic consciousness of the Lord that shall come to wrap the planet as in a swaddling garment, a spiral of fiery light. And all shall be drawn into the center of this fire, and those who have that fire and that spiral externalized as Christ consciousness will live in the flaming Presence of the Almighty One. But those who have not unwrapped the package of the kingdom of God that is within, those who have not released the light fire of the heart, will find that they will be consumed upon contact with that great fire. This is the conclusion of an age, and when that movement toward the center of being occurs, it will be for the finalizing of a period of evolution, of a spiral that has come and of a spiral that shall return to the heart of God.
As the seeds are sown in the spring, as they mature in the summer and are harvested in the fall, so in winter they rest in the storehouse of the Lord. So it is time for the going within. And these are the cycles of the manifestation of the light of the Son of God through the seed that is in the heart of every soul.
So let the harvest of souls be proclaimed. So let those who have borne the fruit of sacrifice, selflessness and surrender now be made one in the Presence of our God.
All hail! I AM the flaming sun consciousness! I AM the victory of the light in ye all! Behold, I AM alive forevermore! Come unto me and allow me to assume your soul into the sun of his Presence. Come into the communion of the Lord’s body, and be that portion of God which I assimilate in this hour. Drink me while I am drinking thee.
So let there be a flow. So let there be that oneness that is the merging of Alpha to Omega spirals. So let all of life know that we are one, fellow servants of the Lord, communicants of the fountain of flame.
In my heart there is written the name of every son and daughter of God evolving upon Terra. That inner name I hold and I surround with love and I secure in the Presence of the Most High. Thus I intercede with Mary, with Michael the archangel, with all of the hosts of heaven on behalf of humanity, and my prayers are that none of these be lost but that all be found in the fullness of the stature of Christ.19
My heart is the heart of God. As I live, so you live in that dwelling place. My heart is the heart of the Christ. As I live, so you live in Christ. My heart is the heart of the world. As I live, so the world is contained within my heart.
I AM the Prince of Peace, and I uphold the sword of peace over the nations of the Middle East. I command peace to flow from the heart of God! I command war to cease in the name of God! I release the fires of the resurrection! And let all who persist in war be consumed by the fires of peace.
Peace, be still! I AM the living Presence of the Christ! I AM the New Jerusalem! I AM the flame in the heart of the Holy City. And I say, in the name of the living God, they shall not desecrate that city or that holy mountain.20 For I AM the Holy of Holies. I AM the Presence of the living God! And I, Jesus the Christ, anchor my flame of peace, which shall be for judgment this day.
Let those who have persisted in their warfare, in their hatred, in their darkness receive that warfare, that hatred and that darkness upon themselves. And let them rend their garments this day, and let them stand naked before the high tribunal of the Lord. And let them receive the judgment which they have meted upon themselves by their own actions, by their own misuse of the Law.
I AM the living presence of the Law! I have decreed it out of the mouth of God this day! And my Word shall not return unto me void!21 For that Word transcends the seasons, the ages and the worlds within worlds, for the Word is the living Christ throughout cosmos forevermore.
All hail! Behold I AM with you, even unto the end of the age and unto cycles of eternity!22
I AM THAT I AM.
