TARA: I feel there is a [[message]] this morning.
MALCOM: My child, there has been a long [[delay]] since our last transmission. We [[realize]] you have not been well. Do not be discouraged, but continue on as you are able. We are here to [[support]] you and to [[guide]] you. [[The Master]] desires that you continue on in your part in your work for him.
We do have this message for you this rainy [[morning]].
There was the question asked by your beloved friend, “How does one [[change]] their [[habits]] and [[actions]]? Why do we keep doing the same thing over and over again, especially now that we are more aware of certain actions and [[thoughts]] and yet still do what we don’t want to do? How do we make personal [[corrections]] in our lives? What is the [[meaning]] of [[48:7|Morontia Mota #24 “The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow.”]]
A tall order you have given me. Little ones, you must realize that the Father loves you each and everyone of you and they, nor are their servants, your [[teachers]], task masters.
We do have this message for you this rainy morning.
We do fully realize that the life [[journey]] is a [[progression]]. Do not read into this [[mota]] that your actions of this moment in time are determining your [[ultimate]] fate for all [[eternity]]. This is a very mortal thing to do because of what you have been taught in the [[Evolutionary religion|evolutionary concepts of manmade religions]].
The Fathers certainly do not condone [[sin]] and [[iniquity]], and you certainly could not live for [[eternity]] in that state of being in your [[future]] experiences in [[time and space]] or in the [[presence]] of [[the Father]]. The Fathers love you at every [[stage]] of your [[growth]] and development just as you love your erring and wayward children. You are being nurtured and cared for even in your stumbling and apparent [[failures]] along the way. You are indeed, now mortal flesh and “spiritual babes” in [[growth]] and transit. You are not thrown out with your soiled bath water!
Your teaching and nurturing takes [[time]] and [[experience]]. That you are [[aware]] of your [[errors]] are [[proof]] of your [[growth]]! With each experience you will accomplish a little more. [[Trust]] the [[Ta|spirit of God within you]] to direct your [[actions]], for only by replacing old unserving [[habits]] and [[thought]] processes with new ones do you overcome and [[change]].
So often have we told you to grow close to [[the Father within]], in [[prayer]] and [[communion]] with Him in the [[stillness]]. This is needful for you, to armour yourself against your own [[weaknesses]] and the unserving influences without.
Yes, can you not see now, [[understand]], that you do indeed [[determine]] your [[destiny]], moment by moment by the [[achievements]] of daily living? It happens moment by moment.
[[Perfection]] isn’t achieved instantly as if by the [[wave]] of a [[magic]] [[wand]] or even in the event of [[death]] and [[resurrection]]. You will still carry on moment by moment, living day by day all the way to the [[Paradise Isle]]. God has [[prepared]] for you His multiple [[architectural worlds]] of living and learning, for [[experience]] and [[growth]] into true [[God likeness]], into literal children of His eternal and [[cosmic family]].
Yes it is also true that in your constant and continual, unchanging [[attitude]] of [[rejection]] of what He offers, embracing only [[sin]] and [[iniquity]] even after the [[truth]] has been fully [[revealed]] to you, yes you can indeed, moment by moment by such daily activities, [[determine]] your own destiny of [[isolation]] and [[annihilation]] from the family of God. (?)
You must put your [[mind]] at ease now and not be fearful, for [[the Father]] is a loving God and He [[embraces]] every child of His, and is there within [[guiding]] and [[leading]] you, as you will and allow, even during times of [[trial]] and [[adversity]], oftentimes unknowing and unrealized by you.
But you now know and are aware and all you need to do is ask, and help is there immediately. Ask [[the Master]] to be by your side and let the [[Spirit of Truth]] direct you. Just as your own children fail and flounder and you pick them up and love them and [[encourage]] them on, so does [[the Father]] and His hosts ever cheer you on, in your [[mortal]], [[soul]] struggles in life.
In eternal [[love]] reaching down and mortal love and [[sincere]] [[attitude]] of heart reaching up, rest in the [[assurance]] that you will not fail in your [[ascension]] [[journey]] home. A multitude of teachers are [[prepared]] and waiting to assist you now and in all your spheres of [[learning]] for all [[eternity]].
So be of good cheer and joyful in all your struggles moment by moment. Rest in the loving arms of Fathers who have [[prepared]] a place for each and every one of you, yours for the striving and that striving is indeed moment by moment in your daily activities of life as you endeavour to overcome and grow in the “[[the fruits|fruits of God’s Spirit]].”
We would remind you that the plan of [[God]] for your success and [[ascension]] has already been set in place, as you have [[read]] in [[your text]]. Continue to read and study and be grounded in the [[truths]] found there and so clearly [[explained]] for you.
“There is in the mind of God a PLAN which [[embraces]] every creature of all his vast [[domains]], and THIS PLAN is an ETERNAL PURPOSE of boundless [[opportunity]], unlimited [[progress]], and endless life. And the [[infinite]] treasures of such a MATCHLESS CAREER are yours for the STRIVING!
The GOAL OF ETERNITY is ahead! The ADVENTURE OF DIVINITY ATTAINMENT lies before you! The RACE FOR PERFECTION is on! Whosoever will may enter, and CERTAIN VICTORY will crown the EFFORTS of every [[human being]] who will run the RACE OF FAITH AND TRUST, DEPENDING EVERY STEP OF THE WAY ON THE LEADING OF THE INDWELLING ADJUSTER, and on the GUIDANCE OF THAT GOOD SPIRIT OF THE UNIVERSE SON, which so freely has been poured out upon all flesh.” [[32:5|Pg. 365]]
“There is a GREAT AND GLORIOUS PURPOSE in the march of the universes through space. ALL OF YOUR MORTAL STRUGGLING IN NOT IN VAIN. We all partake in an IMMENSE PLAN, a GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE, and it is the vastness of the undertaking that renders it impossible to see very much of it at any one time and during any one life. We are all part of an ETERNAL PROJECT which the GODS ARE SUPERVISING AND OUTWORKING.
The whole marvelous and [[universal]] [[mechanism]] moves on [[majestically]] through [[space]] to the music of the metre of the INFINITE THOUGHT and the ETERNAL PURPOSE of the FIRST GREAT SOURCE AND CENTRE.
The ETERNAL PURPOSE of the eternal God is a HIGH SPIRITUAL IDEAL. The EVENTS OF TIME and the STRUGGLES OF MATERIAL EXISTENCE are but the scaffolding which bridges over to the other side, to the promised land of spiritual reality and supernal existence.” [[32:4|Pg. 364]]
These are but a few of the excerpts from your text, the [[Urantia Book]], that reveal the [[destiny]] and the [[purpose]] that are yours, if you [[desire]] and strive for it.
I [[hope]] this has helped in answer to your [[questions]]. You need not be [[anxious]] at your stumbling. Always continue to strive in your [[spiritual growth]] to overcome, knowing all is not in vain and [[eternal life]] awaits you with all its [[wonders]] and [[glories]] to [[embrace]].
I bid you good day, ever your guide and friend, Malcom.
