159:3.6 Sometime the [[children]] of [[the kingdom]] will [[realize]] that strong [[feelings]] of [[emotion]] are not [[equivalent]] to the [[leadings]] of the [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]]. To be strongly and strangely impressed to do something or to go to a certain place, does not necessarily mean that such [[impulses]] are the [[leadings]] of the [[indwelling spirit]].

159:3.7 [[Forewarn]] all [[believers]] regarding the [[fringe]] of [[conflict]] which must be traversed by all who pass from the life as it is lived in the [[flesh]] to the higher life as it is lived in the [[spirit]]. To those who live quite [[wholly]] within either realm, there is little [[conflict]] or [[confusion]], but all are [[doomed]] to [[experience]] more or less uncertainty during the times of [[transition]] between the two [[levels]] of living. In entering [[the kingdom]], you cannot [[escape]] its [[responsibilities]] or avoid its [[obligations]], but remember: The [[gospel]] [[yoke]] is easy and the burden of [[truth]] is [[light]].

159:3.8 The world is filled with [[hungry]] [[souls]] who [[Hunger|famish]] in the very [[presence]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_of_Life bread of life]; men die searching for the very [[God]] who lives within them. Men seek for the [[treasures]] of [[the kingdom]] with yearning [[hearts]] and weary feet when they are all within the [[immediate]] grasp of living [[faith]]. Faith is to [[religion]] what sails are to a ship; it is an addition of [[power]], not an added burden of life. There is but one [[struggle]] for those who enter [[the kingdom]], and that is to fight the [[good]] fight of [[faith]]. The [[believer]] has only one battle, and that is against [[doubt]]—unbelief.

159:3.9 In [[preaching]] the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]], you are simply [[teaching]] [[friendship]] with [[God]]. And this fellowship will [[appeal]] alike to [[men]] and [[women]] in that both will find that which most truly [[satisfies]] their characteristic longings and [[ideals]]. Tell my [[children]] that I am not only tender of their [[feelings]] and [[patient]] with their frailties, but that I am also ruthless with [[sin]] and intolerant of [[iniquity]]. I am indeed [[meek]] and [[humble]] in the [[presence]] of [[Universal Father|my Father]], but I am [[equally]] and relentlessly inexorable where there is [[deliberate]] evildoing and sinful [[rebellion]] against [[Doing the will of God|the will of my Father]] in heaven.
