GOD IS DIVINE LOVE

God is Divine Love - The Essence and Spiritual Substance of the Divine Soul of God is Divine Love.

God is Divine Love

November 30th, 1914

I am here, Helen.

    I am very happy for I have so much Love of God in my heart that I cannot think of any thing that tends to make me unhappy.

    Yes, my home is very beautiful and I am perfectly delighted with it.  It is made of white marble and is surrounded by lawns, flowers and trees of various kinds.  The grass is so very green, and the flowers are so beautiful and variegated. The trees are always in foliage and have such beautiful limbs and leaves. I am most pleased with my home.  I mean the building.  There are many beautiful pictures on the walls.  The walls are all frescoed and hung with fine coverings.  The floors are inlaid with beautiful mosaics.  I have all the splendid furniture that I could possibly wish for.  My library is full of books of all kinds, especially of those that tell of God and His Love for human.  You would be in your element if you could be with me.

    I have music, such as you never heard on Earth.  And, instruments of various kinds, which I am learning to play.  I sing with all my heart and soul as the days go by. I have beds on which I lie down, but I never sleep.  We do not need sleep here.  We only rest, for sometimes we get tired from our work and are greatly refreshed by lying on the beds and couches, which are so comfortable that we do not realize that we are tired after lying down a little while.

    Yes, I do.  When I sing I think of you and wish that you could hear me as you did when I was with you in the body.  I like "The Song that reached my Heart".  It seems to bring me more in rapport with you than any of the others.  Although, "Sing Me to Sleep" is one that I enjoy to sing very much.

    Yes, we eat fruit and nuts, but do not do so because we are hungry, but more because we enjoy the flavors so much.  We drink water, pure and sweet, as it makes us feel so refreshed when we are a little tired.  No, our fruit is not of the earthly kind.  It is so much more delightful, that I am unable to describe it to you.  The nuts are different, also.  Yes, the water is purer than what you have and is more refreshing.

    No, our instruments are not like those on Earth.  They are not stringed instruments, but are played by our thoughts of goodness and Love.  We do not use fingers, or lungs, but merely thoughts.  If they are pure and loving, our music is very beautiful and not discordant.

    Yes, I am.  When you are asleep or doing something in the line of your work, then you do not need me.  I am free to leave you. You must not think that I am not free to leave you when I am with you, for I am.  I come to you of my own free will, but love compels.  In that particular I am not free and do not want to be. Your love to me is the greatest thing, except God's Divine Love, in all the World.  Without it, I would be very unhappy.  You do not know how very necessary your loving me is to my happiness.  You must never cease to love me, for if you do not I will not enjoy my home, or the Spirit World, so much.  Yes, I know.  I some times fear that you may forget to think of me as I want you to.

    Yes, it is permanent.  The house, trees and flowers are more real to me than were ever the houses, trees and flowers on Earth.  They are not shadowy as you may think, but are so very substantial that they never decay or grow old.

    Yes, I have one selected for you now.  I will make it so beautiful that you will wonder how it was possible for me to do so.  There will be so much Love in it, that there will be no room for anything that is not in Harmony with my Love.  You will realize that your own Helen Loves you with all the Love that a soul can have for its mate.

    Yes, we will be together in every way and separated only while we are doing some of God's Work.  You will be with me in all my thoughts, and I will be with you in your thoughts.  Love will keep us through All Eternity.

    Yes, we will love our parents and children just as much as on Earth, but they will not need our love so much, as they will have their own soulmates to love them.  We will visit them, be visited by them, and enjoy their society even more than when on Earth.  They will love us very much, but the love that makes two souls one will exist only for the soulmates.  God's Love will not interfere with that.  I mean our love for God.  It is of a kind that is different from our love for each other.  Is of a more Spiritual and Holy Nature.

    I am so very much pleased to see that you are getting more of His Divine Love in your heart each day.  Soon you will do the work that the Master has laid out for you to do.

    Yes, I am going to try to progress into the higher planes.  I hope to do so as rapidly as is possible.  You may rest assured that no matter what plane I may be in, my love for you will not lessen.  I will not cease to be with you as I now am.  The Life in the higher spheres without you would not be complete.  You are necessary to my complete happiness.  God has decreed that two soulmates are intended to make one complete whole.  They must, in order to be wholly happy and to fulfill the Laws of His Love, live together forever as one.

    Yes, I know, because I have asked your grandmother, and she has told me.  You can progress on Earth just as rapidly as I can here, if you will let God's Divine Love come into your heart as fully and as abundantly as I do.  You can if you will only pray to the Father.  He does not require the Child of His Care to be in the Spirit World in order to develop their soul.  You have the same soul now that you will have when you come here.  If you let God fill it with His Divine Love while you are on Earth, why should it not progress as much as it does here?  God does not intend to wait until you come over here, that He may give you the full enjoyment of His Holy Spirit.  It all depends upon you.  If you Truly and sincerely seek His Divine Love, you will get it on Earth just as easily as you can get it after you have shunned off the body.  The Divine Love of God coming into the soul of a human does not depend upon whether they are in the flesh, or in the spirit.

    All souls must answer for the sins done in the body, but it is not necessary that such penalties be paid in the Spirit World.  You can pay the penalty while on Earth.  As you sow, so shall you reap, but the reaping is not necessarily here.

    If you seek earnestly for God's Grace and Divine Love, you can obtain them on Earth.  I am informed that when they are obtained on Earth, greater will be the progress of the spirit when it comes over.  So let me pray you to seek these Blessings while you are in your present Life, and not wait for them to be given to you after you have entered the Spirit World.

    Your grandmother says that she had that experience.  When she came here, she entered the Third Heaven, without going through a period of expiation, or purification, in the lower spheres.  She is a wonderfully bright and pure spirit, and is very close to God.  She has so much of His Divine Love in her soul, that her countenance really seems an illuminated face.  She is in a condition of almost perfect Love and peace.  Although, she says that she is striving for a higher plane and a closer At-Onement with her Heavenly Father.  She is the one who can help you in your spiritual progress, more than all others, except Jesus, who is the grandest and most glorious spirit in all the Heavens.

    Let your thoughts be of a pure and holy kind.  You will soon realize that God's Divine Love is in your soul, to a degree that will make you feel that He is your own Near and Dear Father.  Do not doubt His Love, or that He can come to you through the Holy Spirit.  That is His Messenger of Divine Love.  It will never refuse to come into a human's heart and soul, where the desire exists to have It (the Divine Love) come, by earnest, sincere prayer for Its inflowing.

    Be True to yourself, as I have told you.  You will soon be in God's Divine Love and favor.  Do not let worries, or disappointments, keep you from seeking His Divine Love, and believing that He is waiting to enfold you in His Arms of Mercy and Divine Love.  He is not only waiting, but wants you to call on Him.  Do not let the thought that He is afar up in the Heavens, cause you to think that He is not always near you, anxiously waiting your call.

    He is not willing that one of His Children should perish.  When they go astray, His Great Heart of Love yearns for them to return, and partake of His Bounties and Blessings.  You must try with all your heart to realize this Truth, for it is a Truth.  Is the greatest Truth, taught us by Jesus, who is the greatest of all teachers. Make your daily Life one of prayer and aspirations.  You will see that what I have told you is not only True, but you can make it a part of yourself.  You have only to let your desires turn towards God.  He will meet you more than half way.  He never sleeps, or closes His Ear to the supplications of His Children.  Those who have sought Him, with an earnest, repentant wish and longing desire of the soul, know that He has always responded to their call.

    You are now in the way to obtain these Blessings.  I pray that you may continue, for you cannot find True Happiness in any other way.  This is what Jesus meant when he said; "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life".  He knew that there was only one way to obtain the Father's Divine Love, and that is through the New Birth, which is merely the flowing into the soul of human the Divine Love of God, to the extent of eradicating all desires and tastes for things, which are not in Harmony with God's Laws and Love.

    You must give your thoughts more to this vital consideration of the Economy of Gods Being.

    It is not a question of what church you belong to, what particular faith you may have, who your preacher may be, to what duties you owe to the church, to the ceremony of baptism according to the church's dogmas, but whether you have sought God in spirit and in Truth, and have received His Favor and Divine Love.

    This is an individual matter.  No human can be saved by the sufferings, or progress, of another.  Each soul is a complete unit, when joined with its mate.  The spiritual condition of each soul towards God, determines what its place and happiness will be in the Spirit World.  So do not let the thought that it is necessary to believe in a special church dogma, or any ceremony, keep you from seeking the New Birth.  This is the fundamental Principle that operates in the At-Onement of human with God.  All other doctrines are merely secondary.  Need to be believed, only as they may lead to a belief in this foundation.

    I am writing at the dictation of your grandmother, for she knows.  I, of course, would not be able to write in this way of my own thoughts and experience.  She says that you must try to get in condition so that the Master may write.  That that, which he shall say, will show to humankind the Everlasting Truths of God's Kingdom and Laws.  That she is a mere tyro in the knowledge and ability to explain God's Truths.  That Jesus will teach you.  So try to become more Spiritual, so that you may learn the wonderful teachings of God's Divine Love and Truth that he will give you.

    You must stop writing now, as you are tired and so am I.

    So love your own true Helen, and pray to God for Love and spiritual enlightenment.

Helen.

God is Divine Love

June 28th, 1915

Saul of Tarsus, now Paul of near Damascus.

    Well, as you are so longing tonight for Love and fellowship with the disciples of the Master, I thought that I would write you just a little to show that all the Master's disciples are in their Living Spiritual Bodies.  I am alive, and will never again die.

     I have written many epistles, which are contained in the Bible.  Some are nearly correct.  In them, you will find my idea of God and of the Master.  I never taught that the Master was God.  Neither did I teach the doctrine of the vicarious atonement, or the sufficiency of Jesus' blood to save a sinner from the sins of his earthly deeds.  I never taught that any human's sins would be borne, and the penalty for same be paid for, by another.  Wherever these doctrines are set forth in my epistles, they were not written by me.

    I agree with John.  God is Love.  For this means that God is everything that is good, pure and lovely.  Divine Love is the fulfilling of the Law.  Love includes everything.

    Yes.  It was my doubt at times that I was called to preach the Truth of Human's Salvation as taught by Jesus.  I say I doubted at times that I was called to do such work, for notwithstanding the Bible narrative of my conversion, I was not altogether convinced by the vision that I saw.  I know now that it was a True Vision, and that I was called.  When on Earth, I had doubts at times.  This was my "besetting sin".

    Well, as to that, I am afraid that I will have to disillusion you, for I was never stricken blind, or taken to the house of the prophet of God, as the Bible says.  My vision though was plain enough.  I heard the voice upbraiding me.  I believed, but at times, there would come this doubt that I speak of.  Of course, from my epistles you would never think that I had any doubts.  I purposely abstained from making known my doubts, and so called it my besetting sin.  I thank God that I never let that doubt influence me, to prevent me from giving the work my call, for if I had, I would have undoubtedly relapsed into the persecuting Jew.  As I continued to preach, my Faith grew stronger.  After a while, my doubt had left me.  In my latter years, I had no doubt.

    No, I am not in as high a sphere as is St. John, for I have not that Divine Love that he has.  I am in a very high sphere, and am the governor of the city in which I live.  I am probably as much filled with this Divine Love as any of the inhabitants of my city.  Consequently, having been a disciple of the Master, they selected me for their governor.

    No, Peter is not in the same sphere, he is in a higher one.

    Some are higher and some lower.  Andrew is in my sphere, but does not live in my city.

    I am glad that you called me tonight, or rather, the influence of your Love, as I am much interested in the work that you have to do for the Master.  You will be able to do this work.  It will be a great revolutionizing one when it is published.

    Well I will be glad to write you at times, and will give my present opinion on some of the things I discussed in my epistles.

    So as I have written considerably I will say goodnight and stop.  Your friend and brother, St. Paul of the Bible.

God is Divine Love

July 8th, 1915
I am here, St. John.

    I felt your call and came.  I will tell you of Love, as that is what you called me for.

    The Love that I taught when on Earth is the Divine Love that the Father has prepared for All His Children, who might seek it.  All that is required is that they seek with earnestness and Faith.  They will receive it.  I know that this Divine Love is frequently confounded with the Natural Love that God gave to human at their Creation.  The two are different and distinct.

    Every human has this Natural Love to a more, or less, extent.  It is a Great Gift.  Makes human what they are.  Not so many have this other Love, because it is Bestowed, only in answer to prayer, the Real Longings of the Heart and Soul.  This is the Divine Love.  This is the Love that makes human a part of the Divinity of the Father, consequently, Immortal.

    God is Love!  This is the Great Truth of His Being.  His Divine Love, while free for all, yet, is not bestowed without the desire of the mortal to receive it.  I wish that I had time tonight to more fully explain this Great Love, but I have not.  I came to you only because you called me.

?

    No, not tonight, but I will come sometime and write you a long letter on these subjects.
    I am supremely happy and am working for humanity.  So directly does the Master.  I do more for the advancement of the spirits after they have commenced to enjoy the Divine Love of the Father in their souls.

?

    Well, Jesus is the ruling spirit in our Kingdom.  His power is supreme.  It is, of course, the Kingdom of God.  This Kingdom is being formed by the Master.  To him is given the supreme ruling power.  We are all his followers.  He rules by Love and ministrations.  Not by the hard lines of force and coercion.

?

    Yes, he has many with him in the Celestial Spheres, but they are all subordinate to and obey him.  It is hard to make you understand this.  This obedience is the result of Love.  The word does not convey the exact meaning intended.

?

    Well, that was a request made by us in our desire to become of importance, but we did not then understand what His Kingdom would be.  We are equal here, provided we have the same amount of Love, the Divine Love that alone determines our place and position.

   Jesus is the greatest of all, because he has more of this Divine Love than any other spirit.  Because he is nearer the Father, and knows more of Him and of His Attributes.  No distinction is made in this Kingdom because of any relationship, or personal greatness, but only because of more, or less, of Divine Love in the soul of the spirit.

    I will come to you at times and write you of my Knowledge of the Truths of The Father, and hope that they may do you and the world some good.

    I was not an educated human at that time when on Earth.  Never was, so far as languages are concerned.  I had no knowledge of the philosophy of the great thinkers and writers of that time.  All the Knowledge I possessed of Spiritual matters came to me from the teachings of Jesus, and the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  I was not a learned human in the earthly sense.

    You have my blessings and my Love.  I hope that the Holy Spirit may soon fill your soul with the Divine Love of the Father in greater abundance and keep you in its Care and Keeping.

I will say goodnight, St. John.

God is Divine Love

17th September 1916
I am here, Jesus.
    I was with you tonight at the meeting and heard what the preacher said.  He declared some Truths, also said some-things that were not True.  He said "only those who have been converted are sons of God."

    All humans are the Children of God!  His Love and Care are over all.  They are Very Dear to Him!  Otherwise, He would not have Rebestowed His Divine Love upon them and given them the Privilege of becoming inhabitants of His Celestial Kingdom.

    The mere fact that they are sinners makes them no less His Children, who He is so anxious to Redeem and fill with the Divine Love.  When the preacher says, "They who are sinners are not the sons of God", he does not declare the Truth, for they are all His Sons and Daughters.  Some to enjoy the Pure Life and Bliss, which the Purification of their Natural Love will bring to them, others to enjoy and inhabit the Celestial Kingdom, which the New Birth will bring to them.

    But all are His Sons and Daughters.  Though some have wandered, and become strangers to His Love, just as was the prodigal son who left his father's house for a far country. This doctrine of the sinful not being sons of God is a damnable and harmful doctrine.  Will cause many to give up hope of ever becoming anything else than the sons of perdition, or as these orthodox say, of the devil.

    The Father's Mercy is for all!  If certain of His Children do not choose to seek and receive the Divine Love, which when possessed, will make Angels of them, yet they are His Sons and Daughters.  Will, in the fullness of time, or before the time of the great consummation, become pure and happy beings, as were the First Parents before the fall.

    While this preacher has a great amount of the Divine Love in his soul, and is earnestly and in the right way seeking for more, yet his beliefs and teachings, as to the destiny and future condition of those who may receive this Divine Love and become At-One with the Father, are all wrong.  Will tend to retard his own progress in the development of his soul and in his advancement towards the Kingdom of God.

    He, of course, is possessed of these beliefs because of his study and construction of some of the declarations of the Bible.  Therefore, is not teaching what he does not believe.  Or what, to his own conscience, is false.  Nevertheless, it is false.  He will have to suffer the consequences of such false beliefs and teachings.

    Ignorance, while it will not relieve him from its consequences, neither will it invoke the penalties of the Law that apply to the willful deceiver, or teacher, of false doctrines, yet neither will it excuse him, or relieve him, from the penalties of that Law (of Compensation) which demands the Truth, and only the Truth, to be believed and taught.  He will have to get rid of these false beliefs, even though he may have some of the Divine Love in his soul.  For whenever there exists untruth, in belief in the heart and soul of human, to that extent it interferes with the inflowing of the Divine Love into, and the progress of that soul towards Perfect Unity with the Father.

    Truth is of itself, a fact.  It can have no affiliation with untruth.  No matter that untruth is the result of ignorance.  For all untruth is the result of ignorance.  Must be eradicated from the hearts of humans, before there can be that Harmony between God and human, which the Very Nature of Truth itself requires.  So that, if no human could be the son of God, who has not the Perfect Harmony which Truth absolutely, demands, God would have no sons amongst humans.  The condition of the sinner, and that of the human who has experienced the New Birth, differs only in the fact that one has not commenced to have in their soul the Essence of Truth, while the other, to an extent, has that Essence.  All may have that Essence.  And, to a great abundance.  Some may never have the Essence of Divine Truth.  Yet no human will be left without the Essence of the Truth which leads to the Perfect Human.

    The Truth of the Angel existence and the Truth of the Perfect Human are equally Truths, though the former is of a higher degree and nature than the other.

    Our First Parents were the Children of God, His Own Creatures.  Good and Perfect.  After their fall they became no less His Children.  For His Love was so great for them, that in the fullness of Perfection of His Plans, He again bestowed upon them the privilege of receiving His Divine Love, and sent me to proclaim the fact.  To show humans the Way to obtain that Great Love.  The (spiritual) death, that had existed for all the long centuries was supplanted by Life Potential.  I became the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Immortality became a possibility to humans.

    So that; all humans are the Sons and Daughters of God, in one relation, or the other, depending in the one case whether a human will turn from their sins and be satisfied with the Perfection of their Natural Love and the home that belongs to the Perfect Human, or seeks for the inflowing into their soul the Divine Love, which will enable them to enter the Divine Heavens, and have the certainty of Immortality.

    When God Rebestowed this Divine Love on human, there was no human in existence, or spirit either, who could be called His Son, if it were necessary that they had been converted, as the preacher said.  Because none had received this Divine Love, which is the only thing, or Power, in all God's Universe, that can convert a human dead in trespass and sin.  Yet God Loved All His Children and conferred upon them this Great Gift, because they were His Children.  If God had Loved only the righteous, there would have been no one who could have been the object of His Bounty.  He would have had no sons, or children, of His Love.

    Now that He has Rebestowed this Gift (of Divine Love), and some of the sons of humans have received and possess it, and are more in Harmony with Him, it is not True that those who were His Sons and Children before its bestowal are any less His Sons and Children, because they may not have sought and made this Gift their own.

    No, the Father's Divine Love is so great, broad, and deep, that it goes out to all the Children of Earth, waiting to bestow It upon them.  The lost sheep is as much His Child as the ninety and nine who are safe in the fold.  Although the lost one may never find, or enter the fold where those are, that possess His Divine Love are sheltered, yet that sheep remains and is the Object of His Love.

    So let preachers, and others, who have assumed the responsibility of teaching humans the Truths of the Father, cease from proclaiming the doctrine: “that only those who have received the New Birth are the Sons of God”.  They, of course, are not His obedient sons until they have obtained either, the Divine Love and Essence of the Father, or the Purity of the First Parents before the fall.  Yet they are His, even though defiled by their own creations of sin and error.

    GOD IS LOVE!  Love knows no limitations in its heights or depths.  It exists in the highest heavens, and reaches to the lowest hells.  Will, in its own way, and in its own time, work its own fulfillment.  All humans will come into Harmony with the Will of the Father, which is Perfect.  Even though some, and I may say the majority, of humans will not accept the invitation to become Divine Angels of His Celestial Kingdom, which is not compulsory, yet they do His Will by becoming in the future, near or far, free from the sin and error of their own creation.  Pure and Perfect, as were they, whom the Father First Created and pronounced Good.

    Human’s greatest enemy to Human, is they, who having received the assurance of possessing the Divine Love, and thereby becoming as it were, a Divine Son of the Father, and who believes in the errors of the Bible and the misinterpretations of its Truths, declares that all others of humankind are hated of God, and are objects of His wrath, and certain of eternal damnation and everlasting torment.

    It is deplorable that such beliefs and such declarations should exist, and continue to be made, especially on the part of those who undertake to lead the masses in the way to God's Truths and Plans for Human’s Happiness, and Redemption from the evils and sins that cause them so much suffering.

     All this shows the power and blindness of belief, founded upon error and untruthful teachings.  Strange as it may seem, these leaders of the ignorant may have some of the Divine Love in their souls, and yet their mental and intellectual beliefs be so fixed and unmovable that the possession of this Divine Love will not cause them to understand that the Father's Divine Love is for all.  That wrath is not a part of His Being, but a quality of sinful human, that these believers in error attribute to Him.

    If God may be said to hate anything, He hates sin.  But He Loves the sinner, who is the Creature of His Will.  Who is so unfortunate as to have created that which defiles them, and to wander away, not only from the Father, but from their own Perfect and Pure Creation.

    Well, I have written enough for tonight.  I hope that what I have said may prove beneficial, not only to the sinner, but to the human, preacher, or layman, who possessing some of the Divine Love, proclaims that only they, or others like them, are the sons of God.

    As Paul said, "they see through a glass darkly, but then they shall see face to face”.  When they do, they will see such evidences and manifestations of the Father's Love that they will know, that they, and their sinning brothers, are all Sons of the Father.  Although, one may be an heir to the Celestial Kingdom and the Divine Essence of the Father, while the other may be an heir only to the Pure Love of the Father to bless and make them happy in the Pure Natural Love and Perfect Humanhood, which the so-called Adam and Eve possessed before their fall.

    I must stop now, but in doing so say, that you must not let what any of these orthodox believers may say, disturb your faith in our communications.  For they know only what the Bible tells them.  You know the Truths that we declare.

    I will soon come and write to you a Message of Truth that I have been waiting sometime to write.  Believe that I Love you and am with you, praying for you and helping you with my influence.

Goodnight, and May the Father Bless you, your brother and friend, Jesus.
