Session

Opening

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I want to express my deep and abiding love for each one of you. Sometimes as coworkers, friends, brothers and sisters, we can take one another for granted and from time to time it is well to speak of what is in your heart and what is in my heart is sincere love and devotion to you each. I am puzzled by your busy lives and always amazed at how much you can endure. Your resiliency is inspirational to me and my close associate teachers.

Lesson

I am renewed in hope when I can be witness to your attitude of faithfulness and being unaffected by fearful events. I have spent time with many of you this week and I am so happy to see your calm methods of sharing the good news. When you look back at those natural unfolding events that just happen to come into play, you can see how much the Father is involved. You are a peaceful light to those who sit on the edge of darkness.

I am MARY and honored to be part of your family. I can relate to your efforts in sharing the good news. When there are so many seemingly negative events in the world, it is important that you, as Teaching Mission participants, point out the positive. It is true that negative energy spreads so much faster than positive energy. I am not quite certain as to why. Maybe positive notions are to be found within and that takes time and effort.

As we are learning to tame the ego, we are feeling as if we can share the truth in love, love for our Brother/Father and love for our First Source and Center. When we are first grabbed by the truth, we are wanting to share the good news in a forceful way almost, as if to say, “follow me,” which is, as you know, a mistake. Our maturing spirits would have others follow our Brother/Father.

I can remember feeling a firm foothold in the truth of the Master and looking at others who may not have that truth as ‘poor souls.’ I held the truth and I could save them. It was painful to have people brush me aside as I tried to give my testimony to the truth I had learned. It was a feeling that I was special and the good news was secondary. I had told the Master of my negative experiences in sharing what I had learned and He was as always so understanding and fairly gentle with His words to me.

He said, “When you are feeling a family connection in the Kingdom, then sharing the gospel is not about saving others, but feeling the joy of what you have learned. This is the attraction that others see. If you should set yourself above as privileged by knowing some secret way, then individuals you speak to pick up on this energy and are put off by it. When you can make others feel a part of the family, then do spiritual sparks fly between you. It has nothing to do with judging others spiritual levels. No. It has everything to do with small acts that show kindness or can bring a smile or send out a positive energy.”

The chaotic energy that traveled the circuits is becoming more organized and reaching the Supreme Being and we are within reach of feeling the fruits of His growth. I am with wonderful memories of walking among the townspeople and greeting them by name and simply having a joyful time, open to tasks that Father may have for me. It was my relaxation and release of the desire to control situations that was most helpful in my ministry. This week, while events may seem to burden you, pray. Allow not the negativity to reflect in your words to others. Father always brings out an ultimate good in any situation.

I believe I learned a great deal from Simon Peter. He was so enthusiastic to share the gospel and give to others that joy he felt within. He learned through experience and a few harsh words from the Master, that some words must be carefully chosen. He brought a great many souls into the Kingdom as he learned to refine his methods of preaching. He took a great deal of teasing from all of us and always took it well and laughed along. He was quite inspirational to many; of course he had a wonderful teacher.

Closing

Our time is up, but next week I would offer a time for questions should you have the need. I will also express my never-ending love for each of you sweet personalities. Abraham and I send you with love. Go in peace. Until next time, shalom.
