From Luke, in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 311.
According to messages from Angels, they can see that some people believe the great millennium will come before or after the so-called “second coming” of Jesus. But the major error in this belief is that Jesus has already come, by way of delivering his teachings again through messages from God’s redeemed children. These same souls who were with Jesus on earth, when he was announcing the rebestowal of God’s Divine Grace, are now in the Celestial Heavens with him. The early Christians, who were followers of Jesus’ teachings, and Jesus himself, have been striving to influence human beings on earth about the most important aspect of Jesus’ Mission on earth – to pray for God’s Substance of Love to transform their souls into angelic beings.
There is no personal ‘devil’ in the sense of satanic majesty, but there are evil spirits which abound in the unseen world. These are constantly exercising their influence upon mortals, but they are merely spirits of departed mortals, who retain their evil thoughts and desires, and enjoy encouraging mortals to act upon their promptings. Sin is wholly the result of the wrongful exercise of human’s appetites and will, where the desires of the flesh are permitted to overcome their spiritual desires.
When the cause of the current condition of humankind is determined, it will become apparent what is necessary to change the condition and remove the cause. The cause is two-fold: one arising from the fall from perfection at creation, by permitting the animal nature to subordinate the spiritual, and thereby their appetites grew and made them into lovers of sin; and the other arising from the spirits of evil, who are always exercising their influence upon earthlings.
As a preliminary to ushering in the greatly desired time of peace and purity, humans must cease to believe that it will result from the coming of Jesus in a manifested way – this will never be, for no person is an enemy of Jesus, all are his brothers and sisters. The soul is the person, and that soul can be made pure and sinless only when that soul desires and consents that such a condition becomes their own. The belief in Jesus coming to establish peace, is delaying the event. If they think that they only need to believe and wait – they would not be in condition to enjoy a place of purity and freedom from sin. Amen
