Message from James the Apostle, received on October 31, 1916, found in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 476.
“When you are weakest, then are you strongest, because then you rely more on the power and help of the Father. Such has been your condition tonight, and I want to tell you that you have received a wonderful amount of the Father’s Love. This I tell you because I know, from what I actually have seen.
“So you should not let your worries trouble you so much. Try to think more of the promises of the Master and of the Love of the Father, and you will realize that help is very near you.
“We are all here tonight because we are interested in you, and want to see you happy – and you shall be so. And if you could only know the love that surrounds you, you would cease to worry so much. The Master has told you that your worries will leave you soon, and you must believe him, for it is true. I know this, and can only corroborate what he says.
“I will not write more tonight. Your brother in Christ, James the Apostle.”
(Following on the same page, a message from the Master, Jesus, titled, Pray with all the longings of your soul,)
“Well, my brother, I see that you are much better than you have been for some days past, and that you have prayed more to the Father for the inflowing of His Love, and as a consequence, have more of it in your soul, and are in better condition spiritually and physically.
“I would like to finish my message on God tonight, but I do not think you are in just the condition necessary to enable you to receive it, and so think it desirable to postpone it for a while longer.
“You must surely realize the effect of prayer to a greater extent than ever, because if you had not prayed as you have been doing for the past few days, you would have found yourself in a great degree of despondency, since the same cause for creating this condition exists now as it did previously when you were so depressed and worried. Prayer is a wonderful help when offered with the true longings of the soul, and will always find a response, and the benefit will not be only spiritual but material as well.” Amen
