NO FALLEN ANGELS

No Fallen Angels

January 2nd, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

    I come to tell you that you have not been in a very good condition of spirituality since last night when you read that book.
    Well, in the first place I want to say that there are no such things as the Fallen Angels, or any spirits, except the spirits of those who once lived as mortals and who are living now as spirits.  Of course, many of them are what may be called evil spirits, but they are not devils, in the sense that the author describes them.
    There never were any rebellions in Heaven of any of the angels of God.  Whenever such a thing is mentioned in the Bible, it has no foundation in fact.  For there never was a Seraphim, or any other angel, that fell and became “the devil”, or satan, as he is called.  You must not let your thoughts disturb your belief in our writing to you.  We who profess to write to you actually do write.  I know that it is very largely believed in the churches that there are such beings as devils, of which “satan” is the chief.  But such belief is wholly erroneous, and has worked a great injury to the cause of Truth, and to my teachings.
    The humans who teach this false doctrine will have a great sin to atone for when they come to the Spirit World.  Especially, will the author of the book you were reading, not only for this false doctrine, but for others which he teaches.  He will find, as soon as his breath leaves the body, that there is a Spirit World, and that he is a Living Spirit.  One who will find come to him the recollections of all his false teachings.  I know that it may be said that he actually believes what he preaches, but that fact will not alter the fact that his teachings are untrue, and that he must pay the penalties of these false teachings, until at last they shall no longer exist on Earth.
    This may seem unjust; when it is considered that he may be honest in his beliefs.  But as I said on Earth, the human who believes these false doctrines, and teaches other humans to believe them, will have to pay the penalties of results of these teachings.  Not because they injured him, and even taught insecurity, but because they injured others.  As a consequence, placed those whom he taught in a condition, which is not in unison with the Truth, or with the Laws of God.  Only can that condition be reinclosed by the Truth, or Knowledge of the Truth, possessed by these misguided beings.  They can only come into the possession of the Truth by being untaught, as it were, these falsehoods, and being taught the Truths.  This will be the work of the author mentioned, and all those who assist him in teaching these doctrines, until all who have ever been deceived by such teachings have been shown the error of the same and brought to a Knowledge of the Truth.
    This will arise not because of any special punishment inflicted upon him by God, but because of his realization of the great harm he has done to those who believed in and followed him in these teachings.  He will need no other punishment than that of his own recollection and his conscience.
    So I say, give no further heed to what you may have read.  Believe that I, Jesus, am actually writing to you.  That all the others who claim to write, are the spirits that they actually represent themselves to be.
    I was with you tonight at church and heard the lecture.  While it was undoubtedly interesting to many in the audience, yet it has no basis of fact upon which to rest.  The medium did not know the things that she predicted.  No spirit controlled her to make the prophecies.  If such had she would not have been able to make such predictions.  The only reason that the medium had for making the prophecies, were the facts that she knows now exists, that will probably bring about the future as she stated it.  No reliance can be placed upon what she attempts to foretell.  If some of the things happen, that she predicted, it will not be because she predicted them, or because any spirit inspired her to make such predictions, but because they will be the natural effects of course that now exist, or which will probably arise in the future.
    Well, as to the discourse of which she spoke, she doesn't know any more, nor have any greater reason to declare that such a disease will prevail in your country than you have.  She has no reasons upon which to found any such prophecy. I do not see any condition which will bring about such disease, in the way that she describes it.  Of course there are humans dying all the time of some disease, or other.  Humans will continue to so die.  Some may die of the trouble that she speaks of, or of those akin to the same.  But such disease will not prevail in the way that she described.  So, on the whole, you need not give any credence to what she said in the particulars mentioned.
    I have been with you a great deal today.  I was glad when you went to the church of your birth this morning.  While you do not believe in the wine and the bread as representing my blood and body, yet many of the people who partook of these have the Divine Love of the Father in their souls, and are very close to The Kingdom (spiritually).  The influence that attended this service was very spiritual.
    Many of the spirits of mortals who had attended this church were present, exercising a very Spiritual influence on the worshipers.  You could feel the presence of the same.
    I must not write more tonight, but will say that you must trust in my Love, and believe that I am with you very often, trying to help you and make your soul feel the Great Love of the Father flowing into it.
    With my Love and blessings, and that of the Father, I will say goodnight, your friend and brother, Jesus.

Not Fallen Angels

January 3rd, 1916

I am here, Jesus.
    I am with you tonight to warn you against letting any doubt enter your mind, or heart, as to our actually writing to you.  For we, and none other, are actually in communication with you.
    The book that you read is a snare and a lie.  There are no angels who have become devils, as the author of that book declares.  Never were there any angels, who through ambition, or any other reason, revolted against the power of government of God, and thereby lost their estate as angels. Never was there any Lucifer.  Never were there any angels who were thrown from the battlements of heaven into hell, as it has been written.  As I told you before, there are no devils, and no satan, considered as real persons and Fallen Angels. 
    The only spirits in the Spirit World are those who at one time were mortals and who lived lives on Earth, shorter or longer.  Whenever Angels are mentioned in the Bible, or rather in the New Testament, in places, which contain my sayings, or those of the apostles, I mean those sayings, which were actually said, the word Angel always refers to the spirit of some mortal who had passed the line between Life and death, as commonly understood.
    I desire to tell you of these things at large very soon.  To instruct you as to who were the Angels of God that are supposed to have had an existence prior to the Creation of Human, and of the World.  Who the inhabitants of Heaven were before the Spirit of God entered into human and caused them to become a living soul, as the Bible says.  The time is not yet ripe for me to instruct you in these matters, because there are so many more Important Truths to be first taught you.  Divine Truths, which are vital to human’s salvation and happiness to those on Earth, and in the Spirit World.
    This you must believe that no devils ever write you, or in any manner manifest to, or through, any of the numerous mediums who are used to show the existence of spirits of humans in the Spirit World.  No matter whether these mediums be good, or evil.
    There are spirits of all kinds, just as there are mortals of all kinds, having all the traits and characteristics of mortals.  Some of these spirits may be justly called wicked or evil spirits, even devils.  They are nothing more, or less, than spirits such as I describe.
    I know that the belief of the majority of humankind is that there are such things as devils, and that they are independent creations of God.  Made by Him to tempt and inflict all kind of trouble and unhappiness on mortals.  Because of the great number of years that these beliefs have existed, and the fact that many of the churches still teach that such devils do exist, and are at all times trying to tempt and injure humans; it is hard, and will be difficult, to induce humans to believe that there are no such things as devils.  Which is the Truth.
   I know that the Bible, in many places, speaks of my casting devils out of humans, and of humans being possessed of devils.  Of the apostles casting out devils, and of their not being able to cast out some of these devils.  I tell you now that the Bible is all wrong in this regard.  The writers and translators of the Bible never understood what the word devil, as used in these various instances, meant, or was intended to mean.  As I have told you, there was never any devil, or devils, in the sense mentioned and taught by the churches.  Consequently, they never could have possessed mortals nor have been cast out of them.
    It is True, that by the workings of the Law of Attraction, and the susceptibility of mortals to the influence of spirit powers, mortals may become obsessed by the spirits of evil.  That is, evil spirits of humans who once lived on Earth.  This obsession may become so complete and powerful, that the living mortal may lose all power to resist this influence of the evil spirits, and may be compelled to do things that the mortal will not desire to do, and to show all the evidence of a distorted mind, and present appearances of a lost will power, as well as of the ability to exercise the ordinary powers given them by their Natural Creation.
    In these instances referred to, of casting out devils, wherever they occurred, and they did occur in some of the instances mentioned, the only devils that existed were the evil spirits who had possessed these mortals.
    This obsession obtains today, just as it did then.  For the same Laws are in operation now, as were in existence then.  Many a human is in a condition of evil Life and disturbed mind from the obsession of these evil spirits.  If there were any humans of today in that condition of Soul Development and belief that my disciples were in, they could cast out these so called devils, just as the disciples cast them out in the Bible days.  Humans have not this Faith.  Though, there are many who have been blessed with the inflowing of the Holy Spirit.  They have not the belief that such work as the disciples performed can be performed by them now.  In fact, the most of them believe that it would be contrary to God's Will to attempt to exercise such powers.  Hence, they never attempt to do such work.  When humans learn, that in all ages, God is the same.  That His Laws work the same way.  That humankind is the same, so far as the soul's possibilities are concerned.  That the Faith, which God made possible for human to attain to, may be possessed by them now, just as it was possessed by my disciples, then they will attempt this work of beneficence, and will succeed.  The sick will be healed.  The devils cast out.  The blind made to see, and the deaf to hear.  The so-called miracles will be performed as they were in my days on Earth.
    There is not, and never was, such a thing as a miracle, in the sense of having an effect produced by a cause which was not the result of the ordinary workings of God's Laws.  For these Laws, in their workings, never vary.  When the same Law is called into operation, upon the same condition of facts, the same results will always be produced.
    So, let a mortal have in their soul the same amount of God's Divine Love, which the Bible writers meant, or should have meant, when they spoke of being endowed by the Holy Ghost.  Let them have the necessary Faith, that when they pray to God, He will give them the power to exercise this Divine Love, in a sufficient degree, to produce the desired results.  Then try to exercise the power of casting out devils, or healing, etc.  They will find that success will attend their efforts.  God is the same, at all times, and under all circumstances.  Only mortals vary in their conceptions and conditions.
    So I say, there are no devils as independent creatures of God, in contradistinction to the spirits of humans who once lived on Earth.  You must believe that there are not.
    I tell you now, that the teachers of such false doctrines will have to pay the penalties for their false teachings when they come to the Spirit World, and see the result of these false teachings.  No relief will be granted until they have paid the last farthing.  To believe such doctrines entails results that are bad enough for any spirit to endure, but to teach others these beliefs, and convince them of their truth, entails upon the teacher, whether they actually believe them, or not, sufferings, and duration of sufferings, of which humans have no conception.
    I will not write more tonight.  I will in closing, say that you have my Love and blessings.  My promises I will fulfill, so that you will realize your expectations and be in condition to perform the work that you have been selected to do. 
?  
    Well, you let doubt come into your mind.  As a consequence your soul does not respond, although, strange as it may seem, the Divine Love is there.  When this mental doubt exists, it is as if it were a covering, which prevents the existence of the Divine Love in the soul to shine forth and produce the great feeling of happiness and joy, which otherwise you might experience.  The mental condition of the mortal, undoubtedly, has a great influence on the consciousness of the human, as to their possession of this Soul Development, and the Divine Love.  Consequently, there will have to be this continuous fight, as long as Life lasts on Earth, between the mental conditions and the soul's consciousness.  As the mental beliefs are brought into Harmony with the soul's condition, more and more the fight will grow weaker and less frequent.  It is possible that they will cease altogether.  The mental beliefs become entirely and absolutely subordinated, or rather absorbed, in the soul's consciousness of its being possessed of this Divine Love of the Father.
    So my dear brother, I will say goodnight.  Your brother and friend, Jesus.
