This is one of the earliest messages James Padgett received from Jesus. It was received on Septenber 28, 1914. Found in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 1.
“You are my true brother, and will soon have the love of our Father in your being. Do not be discouraged or cast dowm, for the holy spirit will soon fill your soul with the love of God, and then you will be happy, and full of light and power to help yourself and fellow human beings.
“Go to your Father for His help. Go in prayer, and have faith, and you soon will feel His love in your heart. My teachings, I know, you will receive in the course of time, and you will then see that your understanding will be greatly enlarged; you will know that I am the Father’s son, as I explained it to you a few nights ago. You can and will receive God’s love so you will not need to go through an expiation in the spirit world.
(Padgett asked a question.) “I was not conceived by the holy spirit, in the sense taught by the preachers who are leading people in the doctrines of the churches. I was born as you were born, and my earthly father was Joseph. I was conceived by the holy spirit in the sense that I began receiving God’s love into my soul while still in the womb, which enabled me to be born free from sin and error.
“I was always free from sin and error, but I had all the feelings and longings of a human being which were not of sin. My love was human as well as spiritual, and I was subject to all the feelings of sympathy and love that any other human being was. Do not understand that I was preoccupied with those desires and longings for the pleasures of the world which the human passions create – I was not – but I was capable of deep feelings, and could feel and know the suffering and distress of humanity.
“You will learn that many errors were introduced by the writers of the Bible. I will show you that many of the alleged sayings of mine were not said by me, and did not experss my teachings of the truth.
“You are too weak to write more. You have my blessing, and also that of the holy spirit. Jesus the Christ”
