“…We can imagine that there are countless things that Jesus could or would have done in the past 2000 years to help humankind, if not for one central fact of human existence: God’s absolute and unyielding respect for the free will of his children. How many things could or would God do, to alleviate suffering and ignorance, if not for this one restriction that he placed upon Himself? And if God so honors our wills, so do all who abide by his will.
“Because of our free will, humankind’s desire, consent, and participation will always be necessary components in any divine revelation of truth. We (both individually and collectively) must desire truth before we can receive it; the strength and sincerity of our desire will determine the amount and purity of truth that we receive. As Jesus succinctly states in the Bible: “Ask, and you shall receive…”
“We’re given to understand, then, that Jesus never “went away” after his death, he’s been here in our midst, ready and willing to communicate with anyone who was in condition to hear him, for the last 20 centuries. The limiting factor in these communications has not rested with Jesus: it’s been in the strength of our individual and collective desire to know the truth. And it was humankind’s hunger for Truth that set the stage and finally enabled Jesus to deliver these messages through James Padgett.
“You’ll understand, then, that we don’t consider the Padgett messages to be the “final word” regarding the true teachings of Jesus. Rather we see them as perhaps the “first word” of a new chapter in our understanding of his teachings. We look forward to an era when spirit/mortal communication is acknowledged and regularly utilized as an invaluable (and God given) source of knowledge and wisdom for mortal humankind.”
It seems apparent that since there are so many false beliefs in the world, Spiritual Truths are not widely known, understood, or accepted. The angels have been explaining that in order for human beings to learn and grasp spiritual concepts, they need to develop their soul’s love nature. The highest and best way this can be done is to accept that we are souls, in a material body, and can grow in Love. We have the ability to seek truth with heartfelt longings. We can strive to do God’s will, and pray for God’s Gift of Grace to flow into our souls and become transformed into divine souls.” Amen
