Christ Michael Shares with his Apostles of the 21st Century

I do say unto you beloveds of this twenty-first century .. focus not thine thoughts for your life upon what ye shall eat, neither concern thyself with the endless demands of the flesh body, nor shall ye place thine overt attentions on thine fashions and attires of cloth.

Thine Life is the very God Life who has bestowed upon thee His Life .. His Spirit of Consciousness. 

Thine Life is more than food and drink, and the body is more than a garment which ye have placed upon thyself. Consider the tender chirping birds at morning's glory who sing praises to their Father Mother of all Existence .. for they neither sow nor reap; neither do they store under rooftop their cravings and accomplishments. God feedeth them according to His Way and Time. 

And are ye not worthy of attracting the very same as the fools and the ones of feather and wing?

And which of you by provoking thine thought upon the ethers can truly advance thineselves into greater measure? I say to thee, beloveds of Mine Heart .. If ye are unable to bring about thine transformation as an island independent unto itself .. unconnected and in mortal disarray .. then shall ye truly be able to influence thine own existence?

Take no thought of thine own survival, yet advance thine measures and valuations through the Victory of your mutual and reciprocal spiritual relations with the one animating Intelligence who sits behind all creatures and beings.

Now .. I tell thee once more to stir thine countenance and to fortify thine character .. consider the pure white lilies how they grow .. for they toil not, nor do they struggle to actualize their potentialities of grace and growth. Even the wealthiest of thine citizenry has not the grandeur of mind and heart as does the purest white lily who speaks not .. nor rants and raves about things it knows nothing of .. and if then, God so grows and protects the wonders of the natural world so astutely well .. and seeing how His vast generosity clothes the trees with endless numbers of leaf and tender fruit, why should thou be concerned for thine survival?

I say mine family universal ..reckon with thine own field of life. Attend to thine own flock of thoughts and feelings. Reach inwards for thine nutrients which do feed thine soul. Allow thine mind to weep for God .. so that it becomes elevated in truthful understandings and eternal knowledge of everlasting import and higher meaning.

Promote thyself unto wisdom. Gather thine intellect into worship. Strengthen thine desires into purity and a constancy of living daily for the Deity Absolute. Today shall be sufficient to meet thine demands and to give thee succor to play upon the fields of matter. Tomorrow shall take good care of himself, and he shall emerge that much greater as ye bring thine awareness into an appreciation of His Life in you.

Tomorrow shall take care of tomorrow. Cast it now into the ovens of thine ephemeral discontent. Quicken the field of thine life into an eternal and everlasting divine field wherein angels do sing and chant the name of the Holy One.

Certainly, thine survival in materialized expression shall be met with all thine faithful trust in the One Father God who has been traveling with thee throughout thine flesh adventures. O ye of the tender shoots of faith and vision .. redeem thyself through the workings of your devotion and discernment. Thine gentle faith does prosper thee into maturity in My Father's Kingdom. Trust in Him to provide and He shall surprise thee to the upside of His Life.

Seek and strive to behold His Presence and Power who works in the daylight and the evening's darkness. Worry not but instead put thine measures of application and thine supplications to work towards unfolding our Ideal of Vision and Virtue .. of Values and Meanings Eternal.

Put aside thine doubtful mind .. thine fearful defense; for these shall not equip thee with the solution for your cravings. For all these things do all the global peoples desire to understand .. and the countries of the world do seek after; and yet, your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. He bringeth light to the mornings, and He is reliable in all His givings.

I tell thee .. seek ye the Kingdom of God and bring forth with commanding certainty His Sovereignty in you. Let Him establish Himself in and throughout thine life and very existence, and all these things shall be added unto you in right method, right time, right way.

Fear ot, mine children. Lean upon Our Protocol of Possibilities. For it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Ye are his emerging and blossoming sons and daughters. Give away all insignificance. Tender not thine inadequacies and unworth. Sell all extremities of thought and misperception that ye have, and give alms to the little ones of less fortune in you who need your attention and awareness. 

Provide yourselves with possessions of remembrance and recognition of the One God Identity. Make sturdy thine treasures in the heavens of thy God Awareness that faileth not, and where no thief may approach thee, neither shall the parasites and locusts of this world corrupteth thee; for where your consciousness is, there shall ye be. Thine treasure is all about thee. Thine heart shall not squander these gifts of personality and willingness .. perception and pure insight. And wheresoever ye place thine attentions .. these do ye value. Thine heart will become full into overflowing as ye pursue rightly and with revelation.

Let your lesser urges become transmuted into Our strength and wholeness .. pure intelligence and thine godly attires .. as ye wait upon the Lord thine God Life to expand in thee. Wait and work towards allowing this expansive view to emerge. Wait as a bride awaiteth her groom to come into the bedroom chambers. Wait with firm demand and confident expectation .. an overriding faith too bold to hide from. 

Ye are the determiner of your destiny .. so give to Him as thine Life .. wait for the Lord thine God Life .. and when he shows Himself .. shall ye be as one who has returned from the wedding celebrations; that when he cometh and knocketh, ye may open unto him immediately and with determination to consummate and succeed in thine closeness and connection with Him.

Blessed are they who are mine servants, whom the Lord knoweth when he cometh shall He find ye willing and waiting .. ever watching; for they do come into this lifetime having prepared their meal and are ready to sup with Me into the eternal purpose and everlasting meanings of their existence.

Verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself with wisdom and worship from all these temptations of erroneous thinking, and he shall stand within the kitchen of thine own mortal house to bake His bread of remembrances and realizations .. which fills thine hunger eternally.

Our Paradise Fellowship comes forth and serves them who are made ready by their decisions to become manifest. Our relationship association quickens thee into discipleship. Our fellowship divine yields to thee thine freedom of ascendancy.

Knoweth the hour and its timely quotient for Truth to come knocking upon thine inner door. He does enter therein through the dignity of the front door. Be ye His servant who opens wide the inlets of thine awareness. Stand alert and unearth thine graven images of separation. Suffer no longer thine perplexities of mind .. and take these thieves which bring to you confusions and doubts .. allow them to leave thine house through the doorways of your transfigurations.

Know what hour the thief would come. Watch with diligence and mind vigilance for his entrance. Allow him not to enter and fill thine inner house with the poisons of his worldly manufactured solution. Watch, wonder, willingly await. The Lord thine God cometh through the silence. He seeps into thine earthly home by your attentiveness and devotions .. thine virtues of eternal contemplations and everlasting wonderings. 

Be ye therefore ready; for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

The Sixth Power

Inquiry the 6th Power of Holy Faith has its three phases - The Daily Review of Journaling, The Essene Mirror of Reflections, and The Harvesting Transfiguration of Misqualification.

The 12 Powers of Holy Faith are the daily yoke which I place upon your shoulders of responsibility.

As you take up thine yoke and follow Me with the right attitudes and the higher attributes leading into soul receptivity, only then shall you know of our Saviorship .. our Association Universal.

I have said that everyone is seeking God, though oftentimes without knowing it. Just as plants are leaning toward the sun seeking light and warmth, so is the human being leaning toward God, often as unconsciously as the plant. Only when you have found God within yourself will your heart be at rest and will your puzzling life make sense.

Only by finding God will the light of knowledge be yours—not necessarily general or abstract knowledge, for that is of lesser importance. It will be personal knowledge. You will understand why you had to go through particular difficulties, and why so many incomprehensible experiences happened to you that originally appeared as the result of the cruelty of others or “fate.”

All of a sudden your life will make such deep sense to you that you will not quarrel anymore with its hardships. You will be glad that you have had them, my dear ones, not only because you will fully perceive the justice of them but also because you will realize how good and how strengthening these hardships were for you. Yes, indeed, you will.

God is sought in different ways. He cannot, however, be found outside of yourself, in some building or up in the sky. You all know that. He can only be found within you. In spite of the fact that you do know He lives within each of you, many of you still seek God in the wrong way.

No matter what religion or philosophy you believe in, you can only find God within by going through your lower self. If you have a treasure hidden deep in the soil, the only way you can get to that treasure is by digging up the dirt, which means that you have to come in close contact with it for a while. You know that handling this dirt is worthwhile and necessary for freeing your treasure, so you do this temporarily unpleasant work to get it over with once and for all.

There is absolutely no way to get the treasure out unless you are willing to grapple with the mud first.

The simple logic of this will be comprehensible to all. Why not then do this excavation work to uncover the treasure house of God that lies embedded in every one of you? Why do you hope to gain the greatest and most precious treasure of all without being willing to face your lower self?

However, many of you still hope somehow to do that. Many of you human beings who do know perfectly well that God can only be found within you, continue to search vaguely in some hidden recesses of your souls to find a spark, to experience God.

Perhaps you hope to do this by seeking general, abstract knowledge of God or by doing certain spiritual exercises. If this is the only way you seek him, what you will receive will be everything else but God. You must not try to disregard whatever the difficulties in your life immediately in front of you are.

If you seek in this way, you will find God to be so much nearer than you thought. But if you try any other way, He will be infinitely farther away from you than you can ever fathom.

To find God, you need to recognize your hidden emotions and evaluate them in the light of divine law. Acknowledge your true reactions instead of making yourself believe you react in another way and for reasons different from the real ones. First see your faults clearly. I have said so many times before that you have to find those parts of you of which you are not even aware yet.

Test yourself concerning your real feelings. Only by taking this road and by really going through your lower self, facing it and dissolving it step by step with courage and conviction, will you find true happiness and security in God, with God, and through God.

Christ Michael Of Nebadon The Celestial Revelators of Uversa

Weave in this the practical application of uncovering and harvesting thine creation by stripping away the chaff, by maturing thine husk, and by fulfillment of the Law of Deliverance by harvesting the wheat.

Below is a devotional discourse that weaves the given revelatory and spiritual teachings into a practical application of the 6th Power of Holy Faith. This teaching integrates the Three Phases—The Daily Review of Journaling, The Essene Mirror of Reflections, and The Harvesting Transfiguration of Misqualification—with the Law of Deliverance and the agricultural metaphor of separating wheat from chaff.

The 6th Power of Holy Faith: The Law of Deliverance and the Harvest of God Within

Christ Michael of Nebadon – The Way of Creation Harvesting

> "As you take up thine yoke and follow Me with the right attitudes and the higher attributes leading into soul receptivity, only then shall you know of our Saviorship .. our Association Universal."

Holy Faith is not a passive belief—it is a daily act of divine alignment. The 6th Power of Holy Faith invites each soul to walk with sacred diligence the path of self-examination, reflective purification, and spiritual harvesting. These are not abstract ideals; they are concrete yokes placed upon the shoulders of all who would be free. Only through the fulfillment of this law shall the wheat of divine truth be separated from the chaff of illusion and misqualification.

I. The Daily Review of Journaling

"You need to recognize your hidden emotions and evaluate them in the light of divine law."

Each evening, the soul is called to perform the daily review—not to judge oneself with condemnation, but to observe one's thoughts, feelings, and reactions in truth and love. Journaling is the first blade of harvest: it is the beginning of uncovering that which is hidden in the soil of the unconscious.

This review is the sacred act of digging up the dirt, as the Pathwork wisdom declares: "There is absolutely no way to get the treasure out unless you are willing to grapple with the mud first." What you record in truth will become light. What you evade will remain bondage.

Ask yourself:

What did I create today—through my thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds?

Where did I act from my lower self—fear, resentment, pride, self-pity?

Where did I lean toward the light—trust, forgiveness, generosity, courage?

This act of spiritual journaling loosens the husk—the outer coverings of self-deception that must fall away before the wheat can emerge.

II. The Essene Mirror of Reflections

"Test yourself concerning your real feelings."

The mirror is the divine tool of clarity. The Essenes, devoted to purity, understood that God could not be found through denial or outer ritual, but only through courageous self-finding. This second phase requires that the soul stand naked before its Creator and say, “Show me what I have denied. Reveal to me my masked motivations.”

You are not judged. You are invited to see. And in seeing, to choose again.

This reflection deepens the daily review and begins to strip the chaff—the husks of justification, false purity, spiritual pride, and unconscious projection. Through this mirror, the soul begins to mature. As the Urantia Revelation teaches, “The soil essential for religious growth presupposes a continual pruning of selfish tendencies.”

To reflect is to be pruned. It is to say:

“I now see how my judgment of others concealed a deeper shame in me.”

“I now realize my prayer was a form of self-will, not surrender.”

“I take responsibility for my reactions, and I place them in the fire of truth.”

III. The Harvesting Transfiguration of Misqualification

"Only by finding God will the light of knowledge be yours."

This third and culminating phase is not merely reflective—it is alchemical. Here, you fulfill the Law of Deliverance, which is to say: that which you have sown must be reaped, but that which is misqualified must be transfigured. Every thought, every feeling, every action has spiritual force. What was born of ignorance or fear must not be denied—it must be harvested and sanctified.

This is the separating of wheat and chaff:

Chaff is the misqualified energy of past thoughts—bitterness, guilt, resentment, denial.

Wheat is the divine essence hidden within every experience, once it is purified by truth.

Harvesting means:

You gather every discordant experience, reaction, or habit.

You bring it to the light of the Indwelling Spirit and offer it without resistance.

You speak aloud the truth that sets it free: “This is not of God, and I now release it. I choose divine order.”

In that moment of honest surrender, the misqualified energies are redeemed, and the light hidden within them is harvested as soul strength. You become stronger, purer, more loving, and your field becomes ready for a new planting—this time in truth, with God, and through God.

Living the Daily Yoke of Faith

> “The 12 Powers of Holy Faith are the daily yoke which I place upon your shoulders of responsibility.”

To walk this path is to choose conscious evolution. Holy Faith is not passive—it is a creative act. The yoke is the structure through which grace can flow. The 6th Power reveals that divine union comes not only through prayer and aspiration but through the labor of soul-harvest. This labor is joy when done with the right attitude. It is the soul’s participation in the cosmic redemption of all miscreation.

As Christ Michael declares, “Everyone is seeking God, though oftentimes without knowing it... Only when you have found God within yourself will your heart be at rest and will your puzzling life make sense.”

Final Affirmation and Practice

Morning: “I take up the yoke of Holy Faith. I will create with consciousness today.”

Evening Journaling: What have I sown today? What must I harvest, redeem, or release?

Mirror Practice: What truth do I resist? Where is my soul still clinging to chaff?

Harvest Declaration: “I deliver this into the fire of God’s redeeming love. I receive the wheat of wisdom.”

Closing Benediction

O Infinite Vine, may I be pruned and made fruitful.

O Indwelling Spirit, may I see my shadow and turn it to light.

O Lord of the Harvest, may the chaff be stripped, the wheat matured,

And my soul made radiant in the glory of deliverance.

Growth and Awakening Love

The vine and branches metaphor is a call to active, living faith. It teaches that:

1. Spiritual life depends on divine connection—without it, the soul withers.

2. Growth requires pruning—trials refine and strengthen the spirit.

3. Bearing fruit is the purpose of discipleship—love, service, and truth manifest divine reality.

4. Separation from the vine leads to spiritual decay—life apart from God results in stagnation.

5. Abiding in God brings joy and fulfillment—a life aligned with divine will leads to deeper peace and purpose.

The vine and branches metaphor, as taught by Jesus and amplified in the Urantia Book, reveals a profound spiritual structure through which the individual believer's journey unfolds. It is not merely a poetic image but a living diagram of spiritual vitality, transformation, and destiny. Each of the five insights listed describes essential laws of inner life, revealing how a soul becomes fruitful, God-aligned, and eternally alive. 

Let us explore each of these points in the context of how they unfold within the individual life.

1. Spiritual Life Depends on Divine Connection—Without It, the Soul Withers

The moment an individual sincerely turns to God, a conscious connection is initiated. Though the Thought Adjuster is always present within, this connection is actualized through faith, intentional prayer, and the choice to seek God’s will. Over time, the believer experiences that all true vitality—joy, creativity, moral clarity, courage—flows from this hidden root of divine presence.

When the soul neglects this relationship, focusing instead on egoic desires, worldly distractions, or fear-driven pursuits, spiritual vitality begins to fade. The person may appear outwardly successful, but inwardly there is barrenness—a lack of peace, purpose, or passion. The soul withers not because God withdraws, but because the individual has become unreceptive to the Vine’s life-giving current.

2. Growth Requires Pruning—Trials Refine and Strengthen the Spirit

In the life of the individual, spiritual growth is not comfortable. True transformation often comes through the loss of illusions, the surrender of attachments, and the refining fires of trial. God, the master gardener, “prunes” the soul—not to harm but to remove what blocks growth.

This pruning may take the form of difficult relationships, personal failures, losses, or inner restlessness. During these seasons, the individual is invited to yield more fully, to let go of false identities and submit to divine purposes. Over time, the soul becomes simplified, clarified, and strengthened, better able to channel love, wisdom, and service. The very struggles that once seemed destructive become the roots of deeper maturity.

3. Bearing Fruit Is the Purpose of Discipleship—Love, Service, and Truth Manifest Divine Reality

The evidence of abiding in the Vine is not theological knowledge or moral superiority but the production of spiritual fruit. In the individual life, this fruit is expressed as love in action, truth embodied, and service rendered to others—not out of duty but from an overflowing inner life.

This fruit may appear in many forms: kindness in the face of cruelty, wisdom spoken in times of confusion, or compassion offered to the forgotten. It is not forced but arises naturally from inner communion with God. The Thought Adjuster continually inspires this fruit-bearing, guiding the person to live not for self, but for the good of others and the glory of God.

4. Separation from the Vine Leads to Spiritual Decay—Life Apart from God Results in Stagnation

When an individual chooses to live apart from spiritual truth, whether by pride, fear, distraction, or rebellion, the inner life begins to deteriorate. Without the Vine’s sustenance, the soul becomes disconnected from meaning, plagued by anxiety, confusion, and inner barrenness.

Spiritual decay often begins subtly—neglected prayer, loss of gratitude, increasing self-centeredness—but over time, it deepens into spiritual numbness or despair. Yet even then, the Divine Gardener does not abandon the soul. The Thought Adjuster continues to reach inward, calling the individual to return, to reattach, to renew the inner connection through repentance and surrender. There is always a path back, for the Vine never rejects the branch; it waits for the branch to desire reunion.

5. Abiding in God Brings Joy and Fulfillment—A Life Aligned with Divine Will Leads to Deeper Peace and Purpose

When the individual chooses to abide continually in God, a state of profound inner alignment and joy unfolds. This does not mean a life free of difficulty, but it means a life lived in harmony with eternal currents. Peace, joy, and confidence arise—not from external circumstances—but from the assurance of being rooted in divine love.

The person aligned with God’s will discovers a higher purpose that transcends personal ambition. Decisions become clearer, relationships more meaningful, and service more satisfying. This abiding relationship becomes a source of daily renewal, a living current that energizes the soul and clarifies the path forward. The individual begins to sense the presence of eternity within time and becomes, increasingly, a living expression of God’s love in the world.

Conclusion: A Living Journey of Union and Transformation

The metaphor of the vine and the branches unfolds as a real-time spiritual biography in the life of every believer. It begins with the decision to connect, deepens through seasons of pruning, matures in fruitfulness, warns against separation, and culminates in joyful abiding.

In the teachings of Jesus and the revelations of The Urantia Book, we see that this is not merely an abstract theology—it is the living rhythm of eternal life beginning now. To abide is to live. To bear fruit is to become. To remain connected is to journey inward and upward, ever closer to God, and ever more a channel of God’s love and will on Earth and beyond.

Intelligence Grows

Intelligence grows in reception relationship with the Living Forces of Trinitarian Origin.

Mortal man first experiences the ministry of the Spirit in conjunction with mind when the purely animal mind of evolutionary creatures develops reception capacity for the adjutants of worship and of wisdom.

This ministry of the sixth and seventh adjutants indicates mind evolution crossing the threshold of spiritual ministry. And immediately are such minds of worship- and wisdom-function included in the spiritual circuits of the Divine Minister.

34:5.4 When mind is thus endowed with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, it possesses the capacity for (consciously or unconsciously) choosing the spiritual presence of the Universal Father—the Thought Adjuster. But it is not until a bestowal Son has liberated the Spirit of Truth for planetary ministry to all mortals that all normal minds are automatically prepared for the reception of the Thought Adjusters.

The Spirit of Truth works as one with the presence of the spirit of the Divine Minister. This dual spirit liaison hovers over the worlds, seeking to teach truth and to spiritually enlighten the minds of men, to inspire the souls of the creatures of the ascending races, and to lead the peoples dwelling on the evolutionary planets ever towards their Paradise goal of divine destiny.

Though the Spirit of Truth is poured out upon all flesh, this spirit of the Son is almost wholly limited in function and power by man’s personal reception of that which constitutes the sum and substance of the mission of the bestowal Son.

The Holy Spirit is partly independent of human attitude and partially conditioned by the decisions and co-operation of the will of man.

Nevertheless, the ministry of the Holy Spirit becomes increasingly effective in the sanctification and spiritualization of the inner life of those mortals who the more fully obey the divine leadings.
