Message 29

There comes a time in everyone's life that they must make a decision on what way of life they wish to accept. Do they accept what their God is asking them to do or do they continue on the same course that has led them to where they are today. This question is being asked of all of God's children. Do you continue on your same course, the same course that has led you to where you are today or do you follow what your God is telling you to do? This is, at times, a hard question for most. For a few, there is no question. But let's be clear. For most it is a difficult question to answer. God is showing his children a course, a path, a crossroads in their life, one that must be accepted or denied. There are only two directions to follow. The reason God is asking all these questions is because the time grows near. All of God's children will have to make a decision, which way to go. God is not asking this of you at this time, but what God is saying is that all will have to make a choice on the day of contemplation. On this day, all will be asked to contemplate on where their life has taken them. Has it taken them on God's path or others paths? God is showing you that you all have paths, roads to follow. There are sometimes more than just two, there are three, or even four, but only one path to God. Those who contemplate, who must reflect to see whether or not they are believers of God, must ask themselves, who am I? Where did I come from? Did I achieve all that I did on my own? Through my own determination? Through my own knowledge? Or were there other forces at work, did the other forces assist me in any way? If you acknowledge other forces, then you must learn to accept God. For God is those other forces. Mankind has seen that they are strong and that they have the knowledge to recreate. They have abilities that others didn't. Mankind must accept that God has given them so much. Through these gifts that God has given them, they are who they are. They are where they are because of God. Miracles happen every day, some small, some large, but nevertheless, miracles do happen. God is asking you where do these miracle comes from? Do you create them? Do you generate them? You know where they come from. They come from the force, the being that is God.

Mankind has seen so much in such a short time. Mankind continues to question what they are doing to the planet. What they are doing to each other? What they are doing to creatures large, and small. God is asking mankind to reflect on all things, good, and bad. Look to the bad to learn what must not be done again, to learn from your mistakes. But also look at the good things, things that brought the planet happiness. You will see what those great events were peace, from wars, reunions with family and friends, things that have brought joy. Look to the positive things that have happened. Dwelling on the negative can sometimes create just as much negative as the negative event did. Mankind must learn from their mistakes, but they must not put them on a pedestal, to be worshiped. They must be learned and put away. For by dwelling on those negative things only reinforces the negative. Pain and suffering brings more pain and suffering. When one is killed, it not only affects the one who is killed but it affects the many friends and family of the one killed, bringing four times the amount of negative. If positive would only work the same way. If people would bring happiness to thousands instead of three. Everyone must understand that there are only two forces in the universe, positive, and negative. These are the only forces, the building blocks of the universe. Through those uses for good, and bad, create positive, and negative energies. That the importance of the positive might be understood. By attempting to control those forces, will only end in failure, for all those in effect. The forces of good and evil have been in existence since creation and are a result of the creation. These energies are throughout the universe. Mankind will learn to accept what God is telling them. This is not a matter of accepting God. For it is more about accepting mankind, for without God there would not be a mankind to accept. Look to one another. Find the peace love, joy, happiness that is God. Accept yourselves. Look only for the positive in all that you do. Accept what God gives you each as your gift from God the Father, creator of the universe.

People continue to look for love. They seek love from others, from possessions, from animals, from all things. Where people must learn to look for love is from their God. God is within each of you. Show God love by showing yourself love. There is nothing wrong with showing yourself love, for this is a part of what God created you for. By accepting and loving yourself, you're showing your love for God. God is the only one who understands you, for he understands all; he created all. There can be no question of his existence, of his love for mankind, of his acceptance of all. God shows all his love for mankind, shows all who will listen to what he tells them to do. They must learn to accept what God is telling them to do. Through this acceptance, they will find new worlds, new beings, new universe. In those universe you will discover that God has created so much more than just one planet. He created all planets, all beings, all universe, for they are all his creation.

Throughout the centuries, mankind has sought solace from their faiths. By listening to those who spoke for God, they would be closer to God. All must learn that faith is an end result that God is within each of you. There is no need to honor him by going to services that speak of him. They must learn to accept him and that he is a part of all things. You only have to look to your friends, look to your loved ones to find God. For without your God, they would not exist either. God shows mankind all these things, not because there is a need to prove his existence. For those who believe, will believe. Those who continue to refuse his existence will continue to refuse his existence. There is no need to convert them, for there is no need to convert. They are already a part of God, whether they acknowledge him or not. This is the kind of love that God has for his children. An orphaned child is still someone's child whether they have a mother or Father. They are still someone's child. This is how God feels about his children. There is no need to prove that he is your Father, for he is, and that is all that must be said. If they choose to acknowledge that God is their Father is completely their choice, but it does not affect the outcome. You look to the future for happiness and growth. This is what God is hoping for mankind, but with the outcome of events happening every day do affect which path his children will follow. The importance of God's story of mankind must be shared with all who will listen. Once again, man asks that God prove who and what he is, for this is not for man to question, what, or who God is. All know that he is the Father, the creator of the universe, the creator of all things. Love and accept him for that.

You have seen the images on the television showing saucers from other planets. Mankind is not alone. They have never been alone. There are those from other planets, but until mankind can live as one, can show love and compassion, they will not communicate with you. There has been much speculation that faiths would question the existence of other beings. God is telling you that they do exist, just as you exist. It is not mankind's place to accept what God is telling them. It is only their place to do what God is telling them to do. Peace, love, joy and happiness are all parts of your loving and accepting God. God loves all beings, from all planets, for they are all creatures of God. God is the universal God, creator of all things in it. Faiths have not acknowledged this, for it is not faith’s place to acknowledge what God has given. It is God's place to acknowledge. We show you a future full of despair, hate, intolerance, not of God's doing but of mankind's doing. These things that continue to drive man toward this end. These things have been stated over and over that mankind must learn to accept all for they are all God's creatures. Mankind being so destructive, so hateful, so full of negative energy - these energies must be changed over to positive before others will attempt to communicate with your civilization. Throughout history, they have been here. They have seen you. They have witnessed all of human existence. For there to be talk that they do that, they don't. It is not mankind's place to argue this point it is fact.

You see that there are things that mankind must understand, must accept, must do before they will be welcomed into the fold of the universe. There must be true change. Mankind must learn to live and accept one another as what they are, brothers and sisters in God. God's love is all that all need. God is showing mankind that they must listen to what he is telling them to do and that ignoring what God is telling them will only lead to one direction. God will be with you, no matter what, but there are easier ways to get there than following the road that mankind has set down for it to follow. Plants and animals rely on what mankind does. Do they follow the road that God has asked them to follow or do they continue down this path leading to mankind's ruin? Plants, and animals are the first to go, then the people. Is this what mankind wants to experience? A planet full of death and despair? It is not the easiest thing to do what God asks, but nothing in this world has been easy. You accomplished great victories, the ends of great wars, the cure for great diseases, the peace, and love for God, but these things have been forgotten. For now, the path mankind runs toward is full of even more pain and sorrow. Mankind should understand that God does exist, that he has always existed, that he will always exist. Nothing they can do or nothing that will be done will change this. Those who seek world domination through unscrupulous means will end only in one way. Listen to what your God is telling you. Search for peace, love, happiness, and strength from knowing that your God loves all of his children. Great men have spoken of God, spoken of God's love for his children, spoken of great events showing that God does exist, but all continue to question these great men. Look to the east, and see what happened to those who questioned his existence. Egypt was a great civilization that failed to listen to what God was telling them to do. Look to Greece, another great civilization that failed to listen to what God was telling them. So is the course for all great civilizations that fail to listen to what God is telling them. This is not the way that mankind must follow. Listen to what God is telling you. Preach love and tolerance among my children, not hate, and fear. This is not what I want from my children. All have the right to exist with me in their life. No one, no being, no government, no faith has the right to restrict God from anyone. This is not a matter for faiths to argue. This is a moot point. God exists with all of his children. There is no one special, no one excluded from his love. Those who profess hate are entitled to only hate. Those who profess fear are entitled to only fear. Those who profess love and happiness are entitled to only love and happiness. Do you understand what God is saying? This is how easy it is that if you disagree with people, if you dislike people that is your right, to feel those feelings. But that does not give you the power or the right to reject those people, for they are all the creations of God, and as such must be accepted by all. God continues to speak of the power of acceptance, but mankind must learn that the acceptance of oneself and the acceptance of others is great. This takes power away from the negative that through these positive and powerful acceptances, can have a great effect on the direction of the world. Those who seek to control the world through the uses of negative, will not be able to maintain their power with love and happiness, joy, and peace. All positive events that happen on the Earth have a positive effect on the negative. The pendulum that swings from the positive to the negative must be kept in alignment. At this point in human history, the pendulum is well into the negative. There has been little to no positive for quite some time. If you look back in time, you will see that the last positive event was the end of the Vietnam War. This war was not that large, but many died from it. All wars have a very negative effect on the planet. Those who profess national defense must learn to accept the fact that there is only one defense, and that is the defense of all God's creations. It is important for mankind to make peace and love an important issue in your day-to-day life. Just as important as the pay raise, is the importance of peace and love. Laws that restrict happiness must be abolished. Mankind must learn to accept the love that God has. The love that others have. The love for oneself. Love in any form is acceptable. No matter what your moral beliefs are, all people are God's creations, and no mortal has the right to make the judgments. Many profess to be motivated by the Bible, for the Bible is not the word of God. This book is the word of God and must be listened to. God is not a constant. He does not create and then leave. He is a God of change, a God of love and tolerance. He is with all at all times. Mankind must learn that there is nothing wrong with communicating with God. What is wrong is when mankind chooses not communicate or even ignore what God is telling them to do. God's children know what to do. They understand what is good and what is bad. You must learn to accept all as what they are, God's creations. Even further down their life, they have strayed from God. It is not mankind's right or power to judge them. It is between them and God, no others. Love all, no matter what. Show the love that you have for God by showing it to others. Faiths must learn not to judge others, not to judge what God would say, or want, for this is only up to God. What God is calling on all faiths is that they go back to why they were created. To help God's children communicate with God, not to judge those who have strayed from God. God's house is God's house, but God is with all. There is no need to go to this place or that place to worship your God. All you have to do is accept him, listen to what he is telling you to do. Symbols are symbols, rites are rites, but God, is God, and this must be acknowledged and accepted. There is no one who is superior to God.

Message 30

People must take a look back to see where they have come from and where they wish to go. God shows you there are many paths, paths not only on this plain. but on other plains. Even in heaven we have paths that we must take. Life and the afterlife are still aspects of God's realm. We have things that we must attain so that we can develop spiritually. People question what is the spirit world like. Just ask God. There are many types of spirit worlds. There is the spirit world of the reckoning. On this plain you learn to understand things that must be realized before you can achieve a higher realm. There is the majestic plain. On this plain you learn to accept what others say about you, to accept, and learn from those things that have been said about you and things that others will say about you. This sounds strange that there are plains, but this is all a part of God's world. You will learn to accept that things have been set out for you, even before your birth. You have the ability to accept them or not. That is of your choice, but nevertheless you have a destiny that God has set for you. Along the way you will stray. You will follow paths that others have laid out for you, but there is always God's path, just off the side of your path, waiting, beckoning you to follow it. All follow these different paths. That is normal. What is not normal is to continue to follow those other paths, even after God has told you of the other path. Those who feel that there is more to life than what they have must recognize that there is. There is always more to life than just what you have at any given time. There is God's path. On this path, you learn not only how to go through life at ease, but you will learn to love and accept others. You will learn the way of God, that through acceptance of all things you will find peace from within. Don't question God's path, for on this path you will always find things that you must learn to elevate your soul to higher plains. Mankind does not need to understand God's world, for it is God's world. What God is doing is giving mankind a peek into it, to show you that not only does God exist, but that the things all must learn, must understand, must accept. In God's world, there are many paths. The path of least resistance is that path created by God, but just as life there are other paths. It is important to understand that following a path is not wrong. What is wrong is to follow your own path, for all must accept and learn to live with others, no matter what your feelings are of them. You must learn that through acceptance, you can find God.

We ask ourselves, how can this be. How can there be so much more than we have been told? what you must tell yourself is that it is not your place to question what God does. It is only your place to accept what your God is telling you. No one should ever fear what their God tells them. God just as your Father will only tell you things that you need to know, things that you need to understand. Through his love and through him you will find what you’re craving. Those things that you truly desire, things that no others know, sometimes not even you. Peace comes from many places. It is important for mankind to understand that true peace comes from God. You must understand that the solitude, the loneliness that you feel at this time is only temporary. Those feelings are to be expected because in this life, you are to experience things that you could not experience in God's world. These things are a part of life on this planet. By having these feelings, you’re learning things that will help you on the next plain. Life is a wheel that spins around and around. Sometimes you’re at the top, while other times you’re at the bottom, but you must understand this is a part of life. Life on this realm, this planet, is meant to engage you in ways that in God's world, you couldn't. This message goes out to those who contemplate taking their own life. This should never be an option. God understands that there are times that the pain, the suffering, the pressure becomes, too great. It is not as many profess that you will not go to heaven. What God is saying is that you need to place all your faith, all your trust in to God. By asking God to take this pain, this suffering, this pressure, you will see that things will start to get better. If it is your time to cross over, this will assist you in your final journey. But taking one’s life will only bring more negative to this world.

Mankind will see that in the future there will be many events that question all things, God, paths, destiny, hope, pride. But what mankind must understand is that these events will not be of God's doing but of others’ - others who have varying reasons for accomplishing these events. Some hope to bring attention to their cause. Others will be out of revenge. Others will be from things that mankind has done to their planet. All of these things will be of mankind's own doing. It is important for mankind to see that their God is with them through these trying times. He stands with them. He will help pick them up, help steady them on his path. You look to the sky to find God. It is important that you look to yourself, find God within. Listen to what he is telling you. Follow the path that God has laid out for you. Accept not only God, God's path, but God's love. Show others that God does exist. Show all that God love can cure all.

God's paths have many courses. Some are acknowledgeable while others are not, some easy to navigate, while others are much more difficult. God understands this, but it is for the spirit to also understand that these paths are laid out for the soul to acknowledge and navigate. Mankind thinks that they are the captain of their own destiny. It is important for mankind to understand that it is the soul that guides you. Some feel that they control their own lives. It is who they are, what they are, but in fact it is the soul that guides you. Sometimes your soul needs to be reminded what God wants from it. People come and go, leaders are made, and leaders are removed. Cities come and go, but the soul stays the same. Lead only by what it is required to understand, to acknowledge, to gain elevation from this plain to the next. Ultimate perfection is reserved. There is only one who has gained that position, only the son of God, Jesus Christ ever achieved ultimate perfection. Souls all strive for this. Mankind must learn to not only communicate with God, but also learn to communicate with their soul. The soul is you. The only object that is you that no one has access to, not even you. But that does not mean you can't, through learning to listen, to interpret, to acknowledge what your soul is telling you to do. Mankind must learn to accept these things, things that God is telling them to accept. The soul to many is an emotion, an aspect of one’s life that they have no concept of. They understand that when they pass, the soul is released. and moves on. Some faiths believe in reincarnation, while others believe that your soul goes to heaven or hell. Mankind must learn that there is no hell. The only hell there is, is of your doing, your contemplation on this place. The truth is that hell is on this Earth, this planet. The hate and despair and violence is what you would call hell. In God's world there is only perfection. This perfection is God, no other objects, or things matter for all is God. When you understand that God is perfection, then you will begin to understand that in God's perfection all things have a place. Those things mankind feels are evil or bad have a place. This does not mean that they are encouraged. It simply means that they have a place. We have spoken of God's positive and negative. It is important that mankind understand that you must become more positive in your own life. Through this difficult at times process, you become more positive. You will have access to things that as negative you will not have access to. Some call this becoming God like. God, on the other hand, calls this heavenly. By becoming heavenly you gain access to a higher spiritual realm.

Mankind has brought such ideas and fear to themselves all in the name of God. It is important that these stories be corrected. God never created the devil. This is a myth. There is evil in the world, this is true. But this is what is called negative. There are many negative aspects to the world, people, places, events, countries, but it must be understood that they have a place for they are negative. For there to be a systematic change from the negative to positive, positive events must take place. We have spoken of asking for forgiveness, not only for yourself, but for them. By doing this positive note for them that have only known negative, this can help convert them into positive. They themselves can help by doing positive aspects themselves. Helping other souls to find doorways to heaven, this is when the doorway to heaven or God's world is opened, usually for a very short time. At this time positive souls can transfer to God's world. Learning to ask for forgiveness can assist. Correcting those events that they caused during their life time can assist.

Mankind must learn they all must assist souls cross over. Some cross quickly. Some have yet to understand that they're dead, while others cling to this place, this time, fearing the unknown, which can be understandable through all the miscommunication about God and heaven and hell. Mankind will see that there is less confusion on heaven than at this point in human existence. In God's world things are not as complicated. There is no need to have secrets, confusing plans, obstacles to pass. In God's world all is understood. There are things that we haven't learned, failed to accept, failed to achieve, and thus we return to correct those events. You must not fear heaven for this is the one place you will all be accepted through God's love for all things acceptance, and love are all. God has said that you are all my children. Love and acceptance are all that is needed to see me, to find me that was never lost, for it was you who was lost I have been here all the time, waiting patiently for your return. Rejoice in the fact that your God loves you this much that he would wait patiently for your return. There is nothing you or anyone can do to change that. Your deeds done on the realm, this planet, are nothing, for all can be forgiven if only asked for. Acceptance is an easy word with multiple meanings, acceptance of yourself, acceptance of others, acceptance of your God, acceptance of a world without hope, acceptance of a world without pain. Acceptance of all things. As you can see, hope runs hand in hand with acceptance because without hope there would be no acceptance. People will see that by hoping, things will be better. By hoping, positive will be. Good things come from hope, as with other positives hope, love, joy, happiness. You must look to the future full of hope, full of happiness, full of love, for these are positive. Through the positive, you can have a great effect on all things negative, the earth’s negative, your negative, others negative. God shows all that negative can be adjusted through . Positive must be applied to those things negative. In doing so, small events, activities can change the negative greatly.

Message 31

You have seen what happens when God is forgotten. You must not allow this to happen. God is within all. You must learn to accept that God would not allow anything to harm you. That is not to say that things won't happen. It is saying that God is with you no matter what. He will be there to give you the support and comfort that you will need to meet all things that challenge you. God shows all of his children ways that they can protect themselves, ways that they can protect not only themselves but their families and their loved one. When God asks that his people talk with him, this is a part of the reason. God has things that he needs to tell you. You should rejoice in this fact that God would take the time to tell you of events that will challenge all of his children. It is important that his children learn to listen for God's voice. To each, God will come in a different way, so there is no set way that God will communicate with you. Some feel that God speaks with lightning bolts. Some feel that he comes in the sky. To each, he will come to you differently. What is happening is that you are communicating with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is how all mortals communicate with God. This is to be understood and accepted. God wants his children to include him in their lives, to talk with him daily, to understand that he wants to be a part of your life, to share in the joy, as well as the despair. People will see that by including God in their lives, their lives will become so much the richer. With your hopes and aspirations for the future God wants to know about them. He wants you to tell him about your hopes, your dreams, your happiness and your despair. All these things show God that you're alive and that you exist. Not only God exists but you exist in God's world. God has asked that no one be above him, that no idol, no person, no things, should ever be placed above God.

This is important to understand that no one, no being, no saints, no idols are to be above God the Father. God is all anyone needs and through God all is made, all is taken, and all is given. Importance of this is that your God showed you the way into the life that you have now. You may have taken the wrong path in your life, but he is still with you here and now. All anyone has to do is to ask for God's forgiveness. They include him in their lives. They accept that God creator of the universe is the only God. Mankind will see if they follow God's light that the end is not the end but only the beginning of a new life, one in the folds of our Father. Rejoice in this that our Father who loves us with all that there is shows us that through his love and acceptance all things are welcomed. No one must be turned away, for this is not God's way. This is man's way that through mankind man has been judged. This belief that only these people are accepted, that only these few have the right to enter heaven are wrong for all were created by God. It is up to God who is permitted to enter into God's world, not mankind, not mankind's faiths or religions, but God. Only mankind could make God so complicated, so confusing, so misunderstood. God is not complicated. There are no secrets to God. There are no rites to God. There is only a simple and profound faith of his existence, and that through our love for him and his love for us, all is right. Mankind in its need to govern to rule others has created these so-called laws of God. God's laws are simple. There is the law that you must accept him as the one and only God. There is the law that you must not kill one another. There is the law that you must accept others, the law that you must accept yourself. There is the law that you must include God in your life. There is the law that you must watch out for the sick and poor. These laws are not complicated, nor should they be made complicated. What God is saying is that through a positive life, by doing positive things in your life, you will have a good life, a heavenly life.

Mankind sees that the future is full of despair, but what God wants you to remember is that there will be good. There will good created by good people that positive things will happen, not only the negative, but that it is important for God's children to see that there will be a need to do positive things, to make a difference in others’ lives. Through these positive events much-needed good will arise. It is important that mankind remember to do the small things, things that mean a sacrifice in your life. Doing these things this will also increase the positive in the world. God wants all to remember that he will be with you all during these trying events. During these trying events, you will need him more than ever. Make a promise to God that you will include him in your life, that you will always remember that he is with you. Through your love for God and through God's love for you, all things will be right. Rejoice in the fact that God shares his love with all.

God also wants mankind to remember those things that he loves as well, the plants, the flowers, the trees, the animals. All of these things are loved by God and as such must be learned to be revered and not continued to be destroyed. Plants and animals are just as man. They must be accepted by all. They have a life cycle as well. God respects and loves these creatures, for they are all God's creatures. In your life, you must make sacrifices for them as well. Remember that all things have been created for man by God and that he allows them to exist. As such, you must learn to treat them with the respect you would treat your family. Plant trees, plant flowers, watch them grow. Then you will understand that flowers, just as men, have paths that must be followed. On these paths, some will die, some will be born but all follow a path that allows them to grow and develop. This is what God is asking of mankind, that you grow, that you develop, that you learn.

God has showed mankind many signs of the future. He has shown mankind sign
