EFFECTS OF DIVINE LOVE

September 17th, 1915

I am here, St. Andrew.

    I came to tell you that where Divine Love is, there can be no sin, or unhappiness, fear is not.

    We, who live in the Celestial Spheres, know this to be a fact.  With all the force and authority that Knowledge gives, we declare this Truth unto you tonight:  The Love that casteth out all fear, is the Divine Love of the Father.  When a spirit obtains that, there exists no such thing as fear. Nothing that could create, or permit, fear to exist.

    God wants the souls of humans in love and not in fear.  The only way in which such end can be accomplished, is for humans to see and know Him as a God of Love only.  No human can come to the Father except through this New Birth and Faith in the Father's Divine Love.

    The performance of duty, good works and mere faith, while they will all help humans in the development of their moral character and qualities, yet they will not give them an entrance into the Celestial Heavens.  Which are the heavens where Jesus rules and is the Prince, unless the spirit shall obtain this Divine Love which makes it a part of the Father's very Essence of Divinity.

    Many spirits are happy by reason of their having led good, moral lives on earth and because of a high development of their natural love.  Realize that God is their Father, watches over them, and gives them many blessings.  But this happiness is not that which comes with the possession of the Divine Love.  Besides, the place of habitation of these spirits is limited and does not permit these spirits to have free access to all the spheres where God's Goodness and Care are manifested.

    The spirits who have obtained this Divine Love, have no limitation to the spheres in which they may progress.  Are not restricted in their places of habitation, or in the spheres in which they may live.  Besides, the Presence and Glory of the Father are so much greater in these Celestial Spheres, than in those where the mere natural love obtains.

    I must not write more tonight, for you are commencing to tire.  So with all my love I will say, Your brother in Christ, St. Andrew
