Part of a message received from Jesus, in The Gospel of God’s Love, The Padgett Messages, page 333..
“The book you’ve been reading is altogether misleading, for there are no angels who have become devils. Never was there a “Lucifer” or “Satan” and no angel was ever thrown from heaven into hell. The only spirits in the spirit world are those who at one time were mortals on earth. Wherever angels are mentioned in the Bible, the word always refers to those who had passed the line between life and death, as commonly understood.
“There are spirits of all kinds, however, just as there are mortals of all kinds, having all the traits and characteristics of mortals; and some of these spirits may be justly called wicked or evil spirits. Evil spirits are attracted to evil humans and enjoy influencing them to carry out their evil intentions. Because of the great number of years these beliefs have existed, and the fact that many churches still teach that such devils do exist, it will be difficult to convince humans that there are no such things as devils – but it is the truth. I know that the majority of humankind believes that there are devils and are independent creations of God…”
Editors note: This message was received almost a century ago, and it seems to me that humans may have made some advancements in spiritual awareness over that period of time. So perhaps it is no longer “the majority” of humans who believe that there is a devil. Considering that the potential to receive God’s Gift of Grace, was rebestowed only 20 centuries ago, it’s no wonder that humankind is still under the influence of barbaric behavior.
Another reason I have faith in the power of God’s Love to help human beings change their negative condition, is that when people reach out to the Over-Soul asking for guidance and wanting to make a connection with that Beneficient Power, God knows what’s in their heart and responds accordingly.
Even though you might have a different name, or heartfelt connection to the Creator Soul, when you desire protection, comfort and Love from the Higher Power, God will hear your prayer, and you will receive a response from the one and only Loving Creator.
I pray that anyone who reads this message will understand that when people pray, from their heart and soul, for God’s help and Love, our Loving Creator will respond accordingly to all their sincere and heartfelt prayers. Amen
