Religious Experience

Habits which favor religious growth embrace cultivated sensitivity to divine values, recognition of religious living in others, reflective meditation on cosmic meanings, worshipful problem solving, sharing one’s spiritual life with one’s fellows, avoidance of selfishness, refusal to presume on divine mercy, living as in the presence of God. The factors of religious growth may be intentional, but the growth itself is unvaryingly unconscious.

Spiritual development depends, first, on the maintenance of a living spiritual connection with true spiritual forces and, second, on the continuous bearing of spiritual fruit: yielding the ministry to one’s fellows of that which has been received from one’s spiritual benefactors. Spiritual progress is predicated on intellectual recognition of spiritual poverty coupled with the self-consciousness of perfection-hunger, the desire to know God and be like him, the wholehearted purpose to do the will of the Father in heaven.

Spiritual growth is first an awakening to needs, next a discernment of meanings, and then a discovery of values. The evidence of true spiritual development consists in the exhibition of a human personality motivated by love, activated by unselfish ministry, and dominated by the wholehearted worship of the perfection ideals of divinity. And this entire experience constitutes the reality of religion as contrasted with mere theological beliefs.

Religion can progress to that level of experience whereon it becomes an enlightened and wise technique of spiritual reaction to the universe. Such a glorified religion can function on three levels of human personality: the intellectual, the morontial, and the spiritual; upon the mind, in the evolving soul, and with the indwelling spirit.

The True Vine of Life

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. I am the vine, and you are the branches. And the Father requires of me only that you shall bear much fruit. The vine is pruned only to increase the fruitfulness of its branches. Every branch coming out of me which bears no fruit, the Father will take away. Every branch which bears fruit, the Father will cleanse that it may bear more fruit. Already are you clean through the word I have spoken, but you must continue to be clean. You must abide in me, and I in you; the branch will die if it is separated from the vine. As the branch cannot bear fruit except it abides in the vine, so neither can you yield the fruits of loving service except you abide in me. Remember: I am the real vine, and you are the living branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit of the spirit and experience the supreme joy of yielding this spiritual harvest. If you will maintain this living spiritual connection with me, you will bear abundant fruit. If you abide in me and my words live in you, you will be able to commune freely with me, and then can my living spirit so infuse you that you may ask whatsoever my spirit wills and do all this with the assurance that the Father will grant us our petition. Herein is the Father glorified: that the vine has many living branches, and that every branch bears much fruit. And when the world sees these fruit-bearing branches—my friends who love one another, even as I have loved them—all men will know that you are truly my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Live in my love even as I live in the Father’s love. If you do as I have taught you, you shall abide in my love even as I have kept the Father’s word and evermore abide in his love. Michael Of Nebadon

The Vastness of thine Potential

All individuals have the vast potentiality to advance unto spheres of glory and honor.

All individuals have received a creative nature of authorship and the rights of existence; yet now must each learn of the right understanding in its application and its use.

All individuals have the same one and indwelling power loaned to each in the achievement of mastery of this authorship. And as you are wholeheartedly of faith and trust and unreservedly dedicated .. consecrated .. devoted .. to advance thine personal existence unto light and life, so shall you be given opportunities.

All individuals have the possibilities to live as I am living .. and to doeth the will of existence in growth, glory, and graciousness. Ye shall be willing to live the Christ life as you obey the laws of the First Persona of Existence .. the Universal Father. Then, shall you receive more of that Grace and Glory which you seek in the caverns of thine heart.

Ye shall open thine selfhood to receive grace for the sake of God in thee. As ye live the life that leads to Illumination .. to thine own Christhood .. thine sonship and daughtership of light .. so shall you receive the fruits of such a life.

Now .. are you of a mind to advance and receive what you hunger for. All creatures have inherently within themselves this inner urge and inalienable desire for greater life .. greater expression and experience within the One Existence.

All shall receive of the fulness of this Life accordingly. Every child of God have been given the very same free will to choose between that which leads to their freedom in Christos .. and that which leads to the self-destruction of the individual persona soul.

I bid thee to choose wisely. Wheresoever ye place thine acknowledgement and attentions so shall you have more of these things. Wheresoever ye shall place thine loyalties and gratitudes, so shall you grow forth. Wheresoever ye shall abide with adorational worship and praise, so shall you enter this destiny to unfold.

Proclamations of the Glory of God

God Sovereignty

As you enter the kingdom of God through the eye of the needle, so shall you exchange the mortal limitations for a more unlimited immortality.

Insecurities shall fade unto God Security

Instabilities of emotions reacting and pushing from fear shall elevate unto God Stability

Uncertainties which cause pretending and prejudiced ideas shall transform unto Certainty with God the Adjuster Father.

Ye shall be made anew with overflowing faith and hope and compassionate charity .. merciful tenderness shall inundated thee.

Faith-insight, or spiritual intuition, is the endowment of the cosmic mind in association with the Thought Adjuster, which is the Father’s gift to man. Spiritual reason, soul intelligence, is the endowment of the Holy Spirit, the Creative Spirit’s gift to man. Spiritual philosophy, the wisdom of spirit realities, is the endowment of the Spirit of Truth, the combined gift of the bestowal Sons to the children of men. And the co-ordination and interassociation of these spirit endowments constitute man a spirit personality in potential destiny.

Through religious faith the soul of man reveals itself and demonstrates the potential divinity of its emerging nature by the characteristic manner in which it induces the mortal personality to react to certain trying intellectual and testing social situations.

Genuine spiritual faith (true moral consciousness) is revealed in that it:

1. Causes ethics and morals to progress despite inherent and adverse animalistic tendencies.

2. Produces a sublime trust in the goodness of God even in the face of bitter disappointment and crushing defeat.

3. Generates profound courage and confidence despite natural adversity and physical calamity.

4. Exhibits inexplicable poise and sustaining tranquillity notwithstanding baffling diseases and even acute physical suffering.

5. Maintains a mysterious poise and composure of personality in the face of maltreatment and the rankest injustice.

6. Maintains a divine trust in ultimate victory in spite of the cruelties of seemingly blind fate and the apparent utter indifference of natural forces to human welfare.

7. Persists in the unswerving belief in God despite all contrary demonstrations of logic and successfully withstands all other intellectual sophistries.

8. Continues to exhibit undaunted faith in the soul’s survival regardless of the deceptive teachings of false science and the persuasive delusions of unsound philosophy.

9. Lives and triumphs irrespective of the crushing overload of the complex and partial civilizations of modern times.

10. Contributes to the continued survival of altruism in spite of human selfishness, social antagonisms, industrial greeds, and political maladjustments.

11. Steadfastly adheres to a sublime belief in universe unity and divine guidance regardless of the perplexing presence of evil and sin.

12. Goes right on worshiping God in spite of anything and everything. Dares to declare, “Even though he slay me, yet will I serve him.”

Sevenfold Revelation of Christ Michael

In Time

Mine Revelations are for the next coming millenial when the world population hath the capacities developing for true ideological understanding.

This is the state of humanity .. the great majority believe that they have the right to think and feel destructively and irresponsibly, and this is certain that they have been given free will rights to author their own existence. Yet, the populace shall grow weary of their destructive thinking and rebellion.  They shall mature unto greater Worshipful Communion and Wisdom Philosophies. Meanings and values shall come to be exalted in the ways of the heaven of heavens. A new and inspiring vision shall emerge once the darkness of ignorance and immaturity and the unholy tendencies for iniquities are conquered in the mind and heart of every individual.

It is an entire global culture and worldwide civilization that is young, immature, willful, rebellious, stubborn, and caught in the prison of believing the unreal, the untrue, and the falsehoods. They are drunken and delusional in their self-imposed subjectivity believing opinions are facts, and even facts are merely opinions.

In time and with the Indwelling Life guiding each one .. with the revelations I am bringing .. in one thousand more of your years .. there might be some changes for the better.

And in my Holy Comforter Presence which pervades your planetary atmosphere since the first century bestowal mission, I can the better lead you on through this life and guide you through the many abodes in the future life in the heaven of heavens.

Life in the Father’s eternal creation is not an endless rest of idleness and selfish ease but rather a ceaseless progression in grace, truth, and glory.

Each of the many, many stations in my Father’s house is a stopping place, a life designed to prepare you for the next one ahead. And so will the children of light go on from glory to glory until they attain the divine estate wherein they are spiritually perfected even as the Father is perfect in all things.

If you would follow after me when I leave you, put forth your earnest efforts to live in accordance with the spirit of my teachings and with the ideal of my life—the doing of my Father’s will. This do instead of trying to imitate my natural life in the flesh as I have, perforce, been required to live it on this world.

The Father sent me into this world, but only a few of you have chosen fully to receive me.

I have poured out my spirit upon all flesh, but all men and women are not as of yet knowledgeable in their religious relationship and association with the Universe Spirit and I. They choose not to receive this new teacher as the guide and counselor of the soul. But before my Father God is finished with the establishing  of His Kingdom in this one world, all shall bend their knee in adorational praise and worshipful communion. They shall cultivate a  righteousness of character, a motivational purity in objectivity and love, a fostering living of the principles and precepts and proclamations given shall dominate their ideologies and their living.

But as many as do receive me in the Spirit of Truth  these ones shall become more enlightened, cleansed, and comforted.

And this Spirit of Truth will become in them a well of living water springing up into mind renewal and capacities, character restoration and choices, soul rejuvenation of vision, purpose, and priority leading all unto eternal life everlasting.
