Continued from Ann Rollins’ message, published in The Gospel of God’s Love, The Padgett Messages, page 246.
“When spirits became possessed of this knowledge, they commenced the work of trying to influence humans in such a way that there arose in them a longing for closer unity with God and an opening of their soul perceptions; as a result, many people in various parts of the world received this Love in their souls. The reason I’m telling you this is to show that God had no special or particular people; and that everyone could not learn from Jesus, if that were true, the majority of humankind could not have learned about the availability of this Love. Then it wasn’t difficult for them to listen to the explanations of those spirits who had received it.
“Now, from what I’ve written, it must not be inferred that the Mission of Jesus and his works on earth and in the spirit world are not important for humankinds redemption – for they are. It was not until Jesus declared the gift had been rebestowed and teaching the way to receive it, that either mortal or spirit could understand the existence of the privilege. The ministering spirits could not influence the souls of mortals to seek for the inflow of this Love until they had received some, which would enable them to understand its existence.
“And here let me declare a fact; that when Jesus preached to mortals on earth the necessity for the second birth, myraids of spirits heard these teachings and became possessed of this knowledge. Today human beings are attended by hosts of spirits of all kinds and the sermons and teachings of humans are often heard by more spirits than mortals. And such teachings have the same effect upon the spirits as upon the mortals. Spirits living in the earth plane are substantially the same as they were when living on earth, and an earthly friend frequently has more influence upon them than do other spirits.”
Note from the editor; It seems like a catch 22; “One can’t receive God’s Divine Love into their soul until they become aware of its availability; and they can’t become aware of its availability until they have some of God’s Love in their soul.” It has been 2,000 years since the potential to receive God’s Gift of Divine Love has been rebestowed; hopefully, from now on, humankind will embark onto the Divine Love Pathway, by the multitudes.
