pure and clean, through and through, and have put on the wedding garments of white, a symbol of innocence. You are found worthy to walk with God. God walks in you and has purified you. You have washed and overcome and are clothed in white raiment; your name is not blotted out from the Book of Life, but is confessed before the Throne of Truth and all its angels. You have heard what was said to the Angel of the Church of Brotherly Love. These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth: I know thy works; behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jersualem, which cometh down out of Heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. And I say that you understood that it refers to you. That it is the Truth in you telling you what you are, in fact. There is but One that saith anything, and that is God. The Spirit that dwelleth in you; and that is he that speaketh of himself as he that is holy, he that is true. So I say, You are holy. You are true. You have the key of David. The same key that David had. The same meekness and humility. The same desire to live up to the Truth. The same Spirit of Good. I say you are cultivating that same Spirit. You are encouraging it. I say that you have opened the door and no one can shut it, and when you shut the door no one can open it but yourself. You have dominion over the earth that you seem to carry around. You have complete dominion over your house of clay, and as you will so it is for you. Not the passing whim but the steadfast firm standing, day in and day out, keeping the night watches, always looking to the Truth, always looking to the Good. You are standing fast. You are firm. You are determined that come what may, as for you and your household you will do Good, think Good and be Good. You have put your hand to the plow, and you plow and sow and reap, day after day, month after month, year after year, century after century. You hear that voice and know that you have strength and are keeping the words of Truth and do not and will not deny his name; and for this reason all men shall worship at thy feet, shall seek for the Truth that thou hast kept, and shall know that God has loved you and has manifested himself to you. You know that because you have kept his word in patience, he will keep your word in patience, he will keep you during the hour of temptation. When thou passest through the flood he will be with thee. You have felt his presence. When you were being seemingly harrassed by the overwhelming flood of mortal mind it seemed as nothing, it did not even come near you, it had no power over you. You were held in the hollow of his hand and the storm and the cyclone passed along and left you as fresh and sweet and untouched, as though a gentle shower had passed and washed off the dust of the day. You have overcome the trials by your patience, by your trust and by your faith; by the Spirit of Good that has always dwelt in you from the beginning, and you are a pillar in the temple of God; and shall go out no more, and I will write upon you the name of God, and I will write upon you the name of my God; and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of Heaven from my God; and I will write upon you my new name. You have heard what I have written to the church of just people, and have governed yourself accordingly. You have bought the Truth tried in the fire, you have had all the dross burned out by the heat that you have been subjected to. You have washed yourself in the word of Truth until the word has made you clean, pure and innocent. You see the Truth in every direction and you reflect it in every way. You have overcome the idea that there is any justice out side of Good, that there is any justice outside of Truth, that there is any justice outside of Love. You have heard me as I stood and knocked. You have seen me as I knocked at the door of your understanding. You have heard my voice and seen my form and have opened the door, and you and I are dwelling together in perfect uni son. You have overcome your own sense of justice and have accepted the justice that God teaches, which is that he showers his blessings upon all his children impartially. You have accepted God's idea that we are all his children, and you are seated with Christ in his throne, which also is God's throne, which is within and not without. God's Kingdom is Perfect accord with God's Love. With God we all stand on a perfect level. There is neither high nor low, rich nor poor, friend nor foe, master nor servant, bond nor free, Jew nor Greek, male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus; Christ is all, and in all. You are now where you hear and see the Truth. You are in the Kingdom of Heaven. You think nothing but how to serve God. You find all things worshiping God, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to reeeive glory, and honour, and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength and honour, and glory, and blessings. Blessings, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, forever and ever. And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth: for the first Heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of 'Heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are faithful and true. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. Your Mind is the Mind of God. Your Life is the Life of God. Your Strength is the Strength of God. Your Wisdom is the Wisdom of God. You have dedicated yourself to God. You have given yourself back to God and can say, I am thine, do with me as thou wilt. I am God's. I am God. |
