Message from John, the Apostle, in the Gospel of God’s Love, page 320.
“I am with you trying to help you develop your spiritual nature, so you’ll be better equiped to receive our truths. Then they may be transmitted to the waiting world, so humankind may learn the only way to God’s Kingdom of Love and Immortality.
“Doubts as to the teachings of Christianity are permeating the minds of many of their members. They are nominal Christians who know nothing of the Divine Nature of the Father and his plan for their salvation. Their perceptions of God are blunted and they tend to worship out of a sense of duty and feel that it’s the right thing for them to do. Their prayers are mostly those which come from their lips, or from a kind of blind intellectual belief. Their longings do not enter into their worship and, as a consequence, their petitions for God’s Love go no higher than their heads. They think that the blood of Jesus saves them from their sins; all Orthodox Christians are taught to believe this, but that does not make it a fact or a Truth.”
From a different message and a different Celestial Angel: “The regeneration of the human soul is caused more by quiet meditations on God’s Grace of Love and Mercy, and by the silent longings of the soul, rather than by the emotions which arise from the fervid and persuasive sermons of preacher or evengelist. These may arouse the dead soul to a realization of their need to reconcile with God, but so often these emotions do not bring the soul into rapport or unison with the Father, as do silent prayers and meditations.
“There must be sincere, soulful longings and aspirations for the Love of the Father. These longings do not generally arise from the emotions produced, especially if such emotions are of fear, created by picturing an angry or vengeful God. But notwithstanding their false beliefs, when these peoples’ prayers actually aspire for God’s Love, he knows the sincere longings of their hearts and his Holy Spirit conveys Divine Love to their souls, then they become at-One with him to the extent that they receive that Substance of Grace.
“Even though they have false beliefs, yet they are receiving God’s Saving Grace, which is working to redeem and transform them. Have Faith and Pray to progress spiritually, and you’ll be blessed with the saving Grace of God’s Love.” Amen
