Teacher: Jessona

 

 

 

* Jessona (Jonathan TR): Hello to all of you. I greet you all warmly, and I mean this for everyone who happens to be not only receiving my communication at this hour but likewise to the many who, through the delays of time and the transfer media of communication, receive this greeting.

Always remember that the Father is instantly in touch and constantly in touch with you. I perforce must send my greetings your way. The Father lacks distance in which to send His greetings to you, for He, as your Father, is right where you are. The reach you make to God is a reach that is, in reality, over a distance of zero. This should bring great assurance to all of us during our times of trial, for our guidance is so close that in our search for truth, for reality, for solution to trials, we need not spend a great length of time also seeking our guidance. Your guidance is resident; it is already installed through your decision to do the will of the Father.

At this time I would be happy to hear your comments and to address your questions. This is Jessona.

Tom: I want to confirm whether I made sense of our communications the other day when my tape recorder went on the fritz. To review, I was concerned with the process of healing, as it goes through willingness to compassion to faith. The healer stands beside Michael and lets his faith motivate the faith of the person to be healed.

If someone were to ask me what is faith, it still eludes me. I see it in concert with hope and trust and devotion, like a chemical forming compounds with many qualities. In itself it is transcendent and is with us to Paradise. It defies definition on this plane. When Michael said, "Your faith has made you whole" to the woman touching his garment, it seems more superstition than faith. What makes up the faith a person has when healing takes place?

* Jessona: My dear friend, you indeed had only thing wrong and that was your equipment. The content of my contact was well received by you. You did well to recall our communication.

Faith is one of the most beautiful elements of Supreme experience. I do understand your difficulty in describing it, for to make a comparison, you know how difficult it is to describe to another the feeling of falling in love when the other individual has yet to experience that feeling. The longing for love may be present, but the feeling of love has yet to be gone through. Your description will always pale, and this is true with faith.

Tom: I'm thinking worship. Feelings, focus, and faith all lead to a greater appreciation of love. Faith is merely a component of something else in that all these qualities have to be appreciated both individually and simultaneously to be more effective.

* Jessona: Yes, this is quite true. If we were to use our diagram of triangles, you mention the tetrahedron of worship with faith and feeling and focus its triangular base. Each element contributes to the worship experience, yet worship is more than feeling and faith and focus. It is a bonafide personality experience in relationship with its creator. To experience truth, to witness beauty, to partake in goodness, each on its own isn't necessarily the experience of love, yet these three elements are found in love.

Faith is a component of something else, and that something else is your relationship with God. This underlines once more the importance of the statement that relationships, personalities, are ends in themselves, for love and faith bring you into relationship where personalities may commune, may work with and for each other. It is hard for one individual to love without another individual to love. It is hard for a creature to have faith without a creator to have faith in, just like it is hard to have depth perception with one eye. One can still perceive, but depth becomes a difficult discernment. One can still believe in God, but, without faith, that relationship element is difficult to attain.

Tom: Thank you for that stirring commentary. And thanks to all of you for your help this past month.

* Jessona: We extend our welcome. We are overjoyed at your including us, and we are very happy to discover that our partnership is working well and that we have such a qualified and capable complement, that being yourself, that we can work with to bring about some tangible ministry on this world. We angels do not simply hover over you all and rain down upon you incantations and magic recitations to cause change in this world. It is the earthling, the foot soldier, that effects the work we long to see take place here. You are performing in this function, and as one of our team you are here now being credited with success, and we extend our gratitude.

You mentioned a new team member, a female counselor. Could you tell us more about her? I think she has been involved in some of our activities.

* Jessona: She is one of my order of being. She is assigned to a different group than the one to which I am assigned. I speak of my seraphic associates. Her focus is to counsel, and not so much the counsel of finding solution to conflict, but the counsel of developing effective solutions to conflicts. Her goal is to train you all to better work out your problems; she won't be there to solve them for you or to referee between you, but to train you how to bring resolution and solution. Her qualifications are great, for she has trained in quite a few roles that are available to us seraphic beings. She has trained on numerous worlds, not only the worlds that host mortal creatures, but the many worlds of the morontia realm. By doing so she has entered into many relationships and has experienced all the diversity that rises from those relationships and so has become quite capable of teaching the methods whereby personalities may better get along.

I hope this has been helpful in introducing her to you, and she is willing to be in communication with you all.

* Jessona: I will release you from this classroom today. I encourage you to set your days in order early by engaging all the guidance systems available to you that you may better discern the will of the Father in your lives and to minister to his many children that surround you.
