Topic: Using Spiritual Achievements

 

Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy to have you here this evening. Tonight I want to give you each one further words of praise and comfort. All of you have been diligent in your efforts to live a life of the spirit and to grow closer to the Master and to our Father in your personal life. This is not something that can be faked or that you can deceive yourselves over for spiritual experience is real and it is profoundly personal.

Those who achieve these spiritual levels do not claim it as a badge of authority. The Master did not make his mission about himself and his own spiritual authority. Rather he made his mission about the Father and the Father’s spiritual sovereignty. Never did he proclaim his spiritual power in order to claim earthly power. And to the end of his earthly sojourn always at every step did he defer to the Father’s will rather than his own. Never did he request special treatment or exemption from earthly conditions. Never did he claim power for himself. Always he used words such as, "The Father has already forgiven you", or "Your faith has made you whole". Never did he say "Follow me for I am a great healer", "follow me for I am the most spiritual man on earth". No, always his approach was, "let me tell you about my Father". Never, "let me tell you about myself".

Remember, there is only one source of spiritual sovereignty. If you, like Jesus, continually defer to that higher sovereign, then your lives will be according to his will. But if you should claim yourselves to be a source of truth or a source of spiritual wisdom, your way will be lost.

Let me begin with Jarad this evening. My son, you do very well. You are finding it easier and easier to defer to God and to trust in him even as a child trusts in his earthly parent. None of this has been easy for you but it is becoming easier all the time. All of you must remember that turning your lives over to God is a process, not simply a single decision and the more you can do this quickly and easily, the more you will find peace. Remember the Master said to train your lower nature to follow your higher one and my son you are doing this in all areas of life. Be at peace, for you do very well.

Ham: My son, Ricallo, you are also finding new moral levels in yourself and you are finding these levels through love. Sometimes it is good to be involved in that searching moral inventory of the past. Other times it is best to disown the past, to let the past die and to allow yourself to buoyed up by the power of love alone. Humility comes naturally in the God knowing life. Strengthen your relationship to the Master’s spirit and naturally your humility will deepen. There is a difference between humility born of spiritual wisdom that is the continual deferring to the Father’s will and the humiliation of the past which can keep you tied to it. You are a person who has come to God through great tribulation and that tribulation, while it required you to seek the spirit, once you have entered the kingdom you also enter into a new life. Find joy in this spiritual connection, this newness, this rebirth and give over the past to the Master and let him sift through that which is valuable to be kept and that which is the chaff of life, the old things which can fall away and not be missed. Develop your trust in God. Rely upon him ever more completely and above all be at peace and allow the old fears and anxieties that have made you a slave to your impulses to gradually melt away. You are doing very well my son, go in peace.

Q: This is from PZ. Ham, last year I asked you your thoughts regarding our aunt-stepmother. You answered me by saying to have love and tolerance for each other and to show forth the fruits of forgiveness and forbearance. We have and needless to say, there is no answer on her part. We hope that she is doing well and that she has made the right decision in her move with her daughter. We wonder if she is happy and is her health any better? Thank you so much for your prayers, and I pray for you and hope that you are well.

Ham: Yes. Yes, my son, you are doing very well. You are following the leadings of the spirit and you are having faith in ever greater measure as you do so. Look not to the left nor the right, but rather focus on your spirit leading and follow in the way that he reveals. Go in peace my son, you do very well.
