Kay Ann's Kozy Kolumn

Published in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 363, from Jesus in 1918.

“Well, my dear brother, time is passing and the necessity for the revealing is very apparent, as humans are longing for that which will satisfy the natural cravings of their souls, and which the present religion called Christianity has not in it the qualities to satisfy.

“I am pleased that you are in much better condition, and that your love is again becoming active, and is operating upon the qualities of your brain so that a rapport can be made. Here I desire to impress upon you the necessity and desirability of your understanding thoroughly the truths set forth in John’s message, and making a personal application of what is therein written.

“I would like very much to deliver a message dealing with spiritual truths tonight, but do not think that your condition is such as will enable me to take possession of your brain and control the same to the degree that the qualities and truths of my message demand. So I will instead advise you somewhat upon the way in which you must think and act in order to perfect your condition so that the proper rapport may be made.

“John has told you to pray often to the Father, so that the Love may become more abundant, and your soul become permeated with it. And to think thoughts of spiritual things, until by such thinking your brain may become infused with these thoughts, and thereby receive those qualities that will make its condition similar to that of the minds of the spirits, so they may convey through it truths that are waiting to be delivered. In addition, I will say that your praying must be more frequent, so that the soul may be freed from the condition that thoughts not-spiritual have created.

“You need not wait for occasions to formally pray, but all during the day and evening, let your longings for the Love ascend to the Father. A long prayer, or even one formulated into words is not necessary, in order to have the longing. The longing may be rapid, as unformed thought, and is as effective for the Father to catch, as I may say. The longing is quicker than the thought, and the answer to the same will come with as much certainty and love as if you were to put the longing into the most exact form.” To be continued…

Continued from previous message, Elias (Elijah, prophet to the Hebrews). Published in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 181.

Recap: Elias stated that he was a psychic and believed the voices he heard were the voice of God. “But now I know that such voices were those of spirits that were trying to help the people and bring them to a realization of the moral truths which Moses had taught.

“When Jesus was born in the flesh, there came to him a rebestowal of the divine love, and through his teachings that fact became known to humans. We who were in the higher spiritual spheres also came to know of that gift, and while none of us received it to the degree that Jesus did, yet we received it and became partakers of the divine essence of the Father. And so, at the time of the transfiguration on the mount, some of us possessed that Love to such a degree that our appearances were shining and bright, as described in the Bible.

“Our appearance and Jesus’ appearance on the mount were to show to mortals and spirits that the Divine Love had been rebestowed and received by both mortals and spirits. And while accounts of that event have been disseminated in the mortal world ever since its occurance, so have they also in the spirit world; and many spirits as well as mortals have as a result sought for and found that Love, to their eternal happiness.

“The voice that the apostles heard proclaiming that Jesus was the “well beloved son” was not that of God, but that of one of the spirits whose mission it was to make that proclamation.

“This incident was not a myth, but an actual fact that formed a part of the plan of the Father to assure humans of their salvation.

“Your brother in Christ, Elias”

God’s Laws rule in the entire universe, with justice, for all of God’s laws govern perfectly. The reason human beings aren’t able to see that everything is subject to perfect laws is because they are not in condition to perceive perfectly. Suggestion; If you want to learn truth, you need to increase your spiritual awareness. The way humans can develop their soul’s love nature is by asking God for the wondrous Divine Substance of Love. It has the power to transform a human soul into a divine soul, born again in Love. Amen

Published in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 180, from Elias.

“I will write a short message tonight as I promised. While on earth I was a prophet to the Hebrews, and tried to warn them that God was not pleased with the manner in which they were living, especially in not obeying the commandments as to their worship and  the individual lives they were leading. I was not a man who knew the attributes of God as I now know them; for then, to me, He was more a God of wrath and jealousy than of love and mercy, and most of my teachings were to warn the Hebrews of the wrath that would certainly fall upon them unless they were more obedient, and followed the laws of Moses.

“I now know that the wrath of God is not a thing to be feared, and that His wrath is not a thing of reality – that when His children disobey His laws, and neglect to worship Him in truth and in spirit, His feeling toward them is one more of pity and sorrow than of wrath, and that instead of punishment, He extends to them His mercy and Love.

“In my time, the God of Love was not known to the people in any practical way, although He was written as a God of love. The people were not looking so much for His love as they were fearing His wrath; and it was only by threatening them with His wrath could they be made to realize that they were disobedient and alienated from Him.

“I myself knew nothing of divine love, and could not possibly have known, for then it was not open to human’s seeking, as it had not been restored by the Father. But I knew of a higher development of the natural love than did most of the people, and realized what increased happiness such development would give to the individual who might possess it. I also knew that the  prosperity and success that most sought after would not bring the happiness of love, but only the pleasure and satisfaction which increased possessions would naturally create.

“I was a psychic and frequently heard voices of instruction and admonition from the unseen world, and as was our belief in those days, supposed that such voices were the “voice of God,” and so proclaimed to the people.” To be continued…

Message from St. Peter, in The Gospel of God’s Love, found on page 179.

“I see what you’ve been reading, and must inform you that many of these so-called miracles of healing, raising of the ‘dead’, and controlling the laws of nature never occurred. These accounts are not true, and are the results of the imaginings of people who attempted to add to the book that Luke wrote.

“Of course there is a true foundation for some of these alleged miracles, but as to others, there is no foundation in fact. Jesus did heal the sick, and cure the blind and the deaf, and the withered hand and the palsied man, and resurrected the supposed dead, but not in the way described in the New Testament, and it is not good for people to believe all these miracles to be true.

(A question is asked.) “Well, that incident never occurred, for Jesus, in casting out evil spirits, would have no authority or power to permit them to enter into the swine, and it would not have been in consonance with his love and ideas of what was just to have allowed the swine to receive these spirits and thereby perish, as the account says. And besides, the result of such a happening would have been that the property of the innocent owners was taken from them and lost. Never in all Jesus’ performances of miracles or in any of his teachings did he ever do or say that which worked wrong to any human being.

“Sometime I will consider these miracles in a message, and inform you of those that he actually performed, and those that are mere fantacies of some early Christian teachers who had wonderful imaginations and used them in adding to the truths of Luke’s original writings.

(A question is asked.) “Well, there is some little truth in that, for we were in a storm and were afraid, Jesus slept and we awakened him. But he did not rebuke the storm and the waves and cause them to subside, but rather he allayed our fears by his talk and example, and as to it became as if there were no storm, for when fear left us, it was as if we were not sensible of the storm, so far as the dread of drowning  was concerned.

Many wonders ascribed to Jesus were never performed. I must stop now. Your brother in Christ, Peter

From John the Baptist, in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 177.

“I have not written for some time, and I come to say, I have not forgotten you, I’m with you quite often, trying to help you with my love and influence.

(Interchange between James Padgett and John, not recorded.) “Well, I’m glad that you had such an experience, and I will tell you that you’ll have many more of that kind, for the celestial spirits are your friends and companions, and where they are, only love can come.

(Conversation not recorded.) “Well, That does seem contradictioy, but the fact is that I never sent my disciples to ask such a question. I knew at the time Jesus was baptised that he was the promised Messiah, that knowledge never left me or degenerated to a doubt. This passage of the bible has no foundation in fact, for I never thought it necessary to ask such a question. To me, Jesus was the real Messiah, and I knew that he was the true and only one, and that no other would come after him.

“After Jesus brought to light the fact that God had bestowed upon humankind the great possibility of obtaining the Divine Love and the divine nature, there never thereafter arose the necessity for the coming of another Christ. The great gift that was necessary to make humans become divine had been bestowed, and beyond that there was nothing that the Father had to bestow upon humankind.

“I am so sorry that such untruth should have been written and incorporated into the Bible. It did Jesus an injustice, and made me appear as a contradictory prophet and messenger of his coming. When I said; I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.’ I meant that I knew that Jesus was the true Christ, and that forever thereafter would that knowledge be mine.

“I did not send my disciples to ask the question that you referred to. As I knew then, I know now, that Jesus was and is the true son of God and the savior of humankind, in the sense that he brought life and immortality to light.

“You have my love and blessiings, and the love of the Father, which is the great Love that makes you part of the divine essence of God.

Goodnight, your brother in Christ, John the Baptist

Recap:  The disciple Peter, after Jesus’ death, had the realization that the kingdom of which Jesus taught, was not to be an earthly one; then the conviction came to him in all its fullness, and he became the most powerful of all Jesus’ disciples.

“After the Pentecost, all of my disciples understood what my real mission was, and they went into the world and preached the true doctrine of my mission on earth, and the Love of the Father for His children. And the fact that His Love was waiting for all who should seek for It.

“So you see that many of my disciples were not possessed of a true conception of my mission, and were not true followers of me, in that inner sense of what the Love of the Father meant, and what I tried to  preach to them. I have on earth now many mortals who understand my teachings better, and with a greater extent of soul knowledge, than did my disciples when journeying with me through Palestine.

“But there are a great many men and women now living who do not understand my teachings even though they think they understand the Bible and the interpretations of its discourse, in accordance with the accepted doctrines of the so-called learned teachers of what it contains.

“I don’t feel that you can write more tonight, so will stop and say that you must continue to get stronger, spiritually and physically, so that we can continue our writings more rapidly and with greater satisfaction. So believe that I am Jesus, your true friend and brother, who is with you very much, trying to help you and make you happy and contented.

“With my love and prayers, I am Jesus.”

I read somewhere, in these wondeful messages, that “God came to the rescue,” when the disciples were in the upper room, 50 days after the death of Jesus, lost and afraid to go forth and continue Jesus’ mission: God poured out an abundance of His great saving grace, Divine Love, upon these beloved followers of Jesus’ teachings and example.

This great outpouring of God’s Divine Love into the souls of these disciples caused them to feel as if the room shook, but it was the power of the Love entering their souls. After they received this great inflow of God’s Grace, they were no longer afraid to go forth into the world and teach the Truths. Amen

From The Gospel of God’s Love, page 175,  by Jesus.

“When I came to teach the truths of my Father, the world was almost devoid of a spiritual conception of the true relationship of God to humans, God was seen primarily as a being of power and wrath. The Jews largely envisioned Him as a God who was interested in their material welfare, and did not realize that He was a God who wanted them to know Him as their spiritual father and as their savior from sin and evil.

“Consequently, when I came, they looked upon me (those who accepted me as their Messiah) as one who would redeem them from the slavery which their Roman conquerors had placed them in, and make them a great and independent nation, more powerful than all nations of the earth and fitted to rule the whole world. They had no conception of my true mission on earth, and even my disciples, until shortly before my death, looked upon me merely as a savior from the burdens which the Roman yolk had placed upon them.

“The only one of my disciples who had a clear realization of what my teachings meant was John, and that was because of the great amount of love that seemed to be a part of his nature and being. To him I explained my real mission, and the spiritual truths which I had come to teach. Hence, only in John’s Gospel is written the one necessary requirement to the full salvation and redemption of humankind – I mean the declaration that mortals must be Born-Again in order to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the only way by which a person can become a true child of the Father, fitted to live in and enjoy His Kingdom to the fullest.

“The other disciples had a more or less accurate conception of this necessary truth, but not a full comprehension of what it involved. Excepting John, Peter was more possessed of this love than were the others, and with it he also understood that I was the “true son” of my Father. (He never declared that I was God.) He was a man filled with zeal and  ambition, but his development of love was not sufficient to enable him to fully realize that my kingdom was not to be an earthly one – until after my death.” To be continued…

From John the Apostle, in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 174.

“I come tonight to tell you that the Master will not write, as he is not present, but is at work in another part of the universe where he is needed, and where he is doing work that none of us can do.

“I know that he had an engagement with you, but he thought it best not to keep it, and sent me here to tell you – for he didn’t want you to think he’d forgotten you. Soon he will come and continue the messages, and you will not be disappointed.

“Yes, it was a glorious night, many Celestial Spirits were present with their love and helpful influences. And one (Mary, the mother of Jesus), was with you, having great love for you and your friend (Dr. Stone sat with Mr. Padgett while he was receiving messages). She still has a great mother’s love, as well as the divine love – or rather this Divine Love which includes the motherly feeling and desire to make you happy as one of her “children,” although she is your sister rather than your mother.

“She really wrote to you, and what she stated is true, notwithstanding the declarations contained in the Bible as to Jesus’ conception and birth. And I must here state again that at no time in his ministry did Jesus claim or have the slightest thought of having been “conceived by the holy spirit,” or that he had any other father than Joseph.

“We never looked upon him as God, or as son of God in the peculiar sense in which the orthodox churches teach; and now I know he was not such God or son of God. He is merely a spirit, as are the rest of us, but the one possessing more Divine Love, and having the greatest knowledge of the Father and of His personality and attributes. So believe what we have written you on this question, for it is true.

“I will stop now, and in doing so will say, God bless you. Your brother and friend, John”

Humankind is exceedingly blessed to have this information from the Celestial Angels. There are several publications of these wonderful messages now in circulation in the world. The Way to develop the Highest Potential of your soul, is to pray for God’s Divine Love, and have Faith that you will receive It. Amen

From The Gospel of God’s Love, page 310; Title, Armageddon.

“These teachings of the preacher do great harm to humankind, in that they cause the individual person to believe that I, as Prince of Peace, will come in mighty power and in one fell swoop destroy evil and all who personify it, and thereby do the work which each individual person must do.

I know it will be very difficult to persuade the people of this sect that what they teach and conclude the Bible teaches is not true; but I hope that when my truths are brought to light, and people have the opportunity to learn from them, many of them will halt in the security of their beliefs, and attempt to understand these truths – as they must understand them, either in the mortal life or in the spirit world, in order to enter the Kingdom of God.

“As to the prophecies of Daniel, they have no application to the present condition of the world. So far as they were written by him or by any other prophet, they related only to the times in which they were written. No person,, nor any spirit had the omniscience to fortell these things that are now taking place in the world; any attempts to apply these supposed prophecies to the happenings of the present day are without justification, and are the results of the imaginings of mortals.

“Peace will come, but not as a result of any battle of Armageddon, or any other battle based upon the principles which the preacher applied to these prophecies. As I have said, this battle is going on all the time, and it is an individual fight between the sinful soul and the creatures of human’s disobedience.

“So do not waste your time in reading or listening to these unreal and foundationless teachings of people who think that they have discovered the intentions of God with reference to the destiny of nations.

“I will not write more tonight, but at some time I may say more on this subject, though its only importance is that it attracts human’s attention away from the truth, and creates beliefs which do harm.

“I love you as a younger brother, and will continue to bless you with my influence and prayers. Pray to the Father, and you will find truth in the greatest fullness, and receive corresponding happiness.

 “Your brother and friend, Jesus”

Message from Jesus, in The Gospel of God’s Love, on page 309.

“I was with you tonight and heard the address of the preacher, and his explanation of the causse of the great war, now raging in Europe, and it was a very intelligent and truthful explanation, and identified the real foundation of the war.

“But I will not come as “Prince Michael,” as the preacher said, to establish my kingdom on earth, and to take unto me those whose names are “written in the book,” and destroy those whose names are not therein written. For I have already come and am now in the world, working to turn human’s hearts to God, and to teach them the way by which they may become at-One with Him, and receive into their souls His Divine Love.

“In no other way will I ever come to humans on earth, for they will not need me as a visible king, with powers and invisible armies of the spirit world, to subdue the evil that exists. There will arise no “Satan” to fight against me or my followers in the sense that the preacher teaches – for besides the fact that I am already in the world fighting for the salvation of human beings, there is no Satan. The only “devils” who are trying to influence mortals to evil thoughts and actions are the spirits of evil people who still retain all their sins and wickedness – these and the evil that exists in the hearts of humans themselves.

“How pitiable it is that the preacher and his followers believe that the spirits of humans who have died the natural death are still “dead” – resting in the grave or in oblivion, waiting for the great day of my appearance on earth, in order to come again to life and be called by me into my kingdom. How much they lose by such belief, and how great and surprising will be their awakening when they pass through the change called death.

“There will be no “battle of Armageddon,” except as each person’s  soul is now fighting the battle between sin and righteousness. This is the only battle that will ever be fought between the Prince of peace and “Satan;” each soul must fight its own battle. In that fight the powers of God will help that soul overcome the great “enemy” – sin, which enemy is of their own creation.” To be continued…
