From The Gospel of God’s Love, page 367. Mr.Padgett asked a question about, if spirits possess a medium, might that cause harm? The answer follows:
“Well, there are cases where such results follow, and it’s not astonishing that this is so, for these mediums, who surrender their own wills and faculties, will attract spirits who desire to take control of them. These spirits do not hesitate to use these mediums for any and all purposes that they may desire; and these desires are mostly injurious and detrimental to the mediums, both morally and spiritually.
“In such cases of spirit control, the mediums absolutely submit their mental and will power to the domination of these spirits, and once the spirit gets control they are never satisfied, and care not for the condition of the medium. And such being the case, the medium suffers. But the mediumship which you have is not of such a character as to permit a spirit writing through you to obtain that control of your mental faculties as would enable them to exercise their will and mental powers in a way that would prevent you from exercising yours as you desire. They do not become your masters, but are subordinate to your will and cannot use you for their purposes unless you are so inclined.
“The exercise of your phase of mediumship will not do you harm and you need not fear the result. In fact it is necessary that your mental faculties should become vivified and enlarged in order for you to do the work, and the greater develoment you have, the more you will be enabled to do our work in a more satisfactory manner.
“So, try to be in condition, and we will continue the writing of these messages. With all my love and blessings, I am Your brother and friend, Jesus”
Anyone who wants to develop their spiritual nature can do so through their soulful desires to receive the Grace of God’s Love into their soul. God Loves all his children, with a Love so great and deep that we cannot have even a near conception of how to describe this Love. As we continue praying and desiring to develop our Love nature, we will be enabled to start changing, little by little, at first, then more and more, until we can notice a wonderful difference in ourselves. And we will make a difference in the world. Amen
