ABRAHAM & MICHAEL -- BE ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS
MARCH 31, 2002
WOODS CROSS GROUP

I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. How wonderful it is to see you children at work for
the Kingdom. Your concerned natures bring awareness to many, which helps
shift the mind-sets of the masses.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." This time of
purification and liberation from the old has not been one of ease, no. It
has taken courage and stamina to allow our divine Overseers to cut away at
the unfruitful branches. Healed individuals make for a healed world. Our
best hope of healing comes through education and a willingness to grow, no
matter the cost.

Judas, the apostle of old, paid a great price for his unwillingness to be
healed through self-honesty. He did not allow the spiritual life to remove
his unfruitful branches. Judas harbored ongoing thoughts of revenge, which
always--in his own mind--resulted in him appearing to be the victor. This
man knew not the freedom in humility, the freedom in being honest with self
and Father.

Other apostles also struggled with these mindal strains, and it was through
their love for the Master that they were able to be honest in all situations
with self, Father and their brethren, which led to purification and the
cutting away of the dead branches, the spirit poisons, yes, dead branches or
those things which do not serve in a wholesome manner.

As we allow this purification, this renewal, we are again becoming as little
children, open to adventure, curious and enthusiastic about life to come.
Judas failed to see the beauty in this freedom, in this releasing of old to
take up the new. Although his upbringing had him believing he was superior
among his fellows, he still had every opportunity to learn different, to
learn better.

There comes a time in your spiritual growth when you must take full
responsibility of who you are now. There comes a point when you can no
longer blame others for who you have become. Judas failed to learn anymore
because he believed he already knew everything there was to know. This is
spiritual death.

As we are reborn as little children in the Kingdom are we refreshed and
ready to take in more, take in new. We are moving. We are progressing. This
is spiritual life. Healed people make for a healed world, which progresses
into Light and Life. It has been our Mission to naturally help you to find
healing and hope of a new and better world. I would offer a prayer:

Our Father, who can do all things, we are willing to be made new in spirit,
mind and body. Our beloved Spirit Mother, we are open to your Adjutant
Mind-spirits, which light our path to Paradise. Our Brother/Father, Spirit
of Truth, Creator of our universe home, we are open to receiving your
Spirit, your vision of freedom, your courage to live the mortal life as you
did. Our beloved Caretaker's guide us into that healing which also heals
this world. Remove our unfruitful branches, those stumbling blocks, which
blind you from our sight. Create in us a clean heart and mind. Open us and
prepare us for that spiritual upstep we need to escort Urantia into Light
and Life.

MICHAEL: My children, believers in the eternal adventure, I am your
Brother/Father/Friend and Co-creator with you in all things. I look at your
faces and I am overfilled with a love that has had no beginning, nor will
ever end. I see you as you are, the truly beautiful souls that diligently
work toward advancement, toward knowing me and knowing Father.

You can hardly know the anguish I am made to feel when I see how you
perceive yourselves and one another. This is not a world of chaos or an
orphan who has been left outside in the cold, no. I have been here all
along, your Paradise Compass, your Light in the storm, your Gardener. What I
see before me is experiential beauty and eternal potential, a flourishing
garden with a variety of harvest.

We stand together at the beginning of eternity, the beginning of all
potential. Our real work now begins. I have lived to show you life. I have
also died to show you life anew. I have, without ever questioning my Father,
experienced this life, your life, to the fullest. I sought no escape--for
you, for Father, for my universe. I lived so that you may know life, so that
you may carry on in the face of all obstacles and challenges.

You, Mission citizens, are more than prepared to take up my example, more
than qualified to show my flock life lived with courage, faith and enduring,
not wavering, enduring dedication to living a spiritual life, a life
dedicated to wanting what Father wants.

As I review my Urantian bestowal I have no regrets. I have no desire to
change one single thing. I am wholly satisfied with my adventure, for Father
carried me through His eternal purpose and plan. He upheld me as a mortal,
as a Creator Son, as His child. I found out who I really was as I trusted
Him, as I relied on Him, as I held to faith, no matter what. Surely He will
do these things for you. Surely you will assist your fellows in doing these
things also.

Allow the unfruitful branches to be left behind. Allow the past to be the
past, take therefrom the meanings and values. Take up your faith and be
healed. Lay down your mortal guard of pride. Be refreshed in the Light of
the new. Be cleansed in the waters of Life. Move with confidence that you
are with me and together we will be about he Father's business. Together we
will minister to your brothers and sisters, my children. Together we will
take up our cosmic responsibility and usher this world into a new era.

Our work is great and our time is accelerated. We can no longer afford to be
held back by the half-hearted. We can no longer afford to be dragged under
by those who refuse to find healing. This is your career, children. This is
what you have so long waited for. Put down your feelings of unworth. Take up
your responsibility as my faith-son, as my faith-daughter, and go forward to
work for what will surely be a historical event in all of Nebadon.

Know that I move through you like the wind. You cannot see me, but you can
see my affects, my influence. Be not burdened by doubt, for our work is
great and we must be about the Father's business. I know you. I know all of
you. I am in all of you and you in me. My Spirit is about truth, freedom,
and change. Before us we have a grand adventure. Speak to me, for I will be
speaking to you. I am about details in all your spirit challenges. I am
about peace and shelter for the weary soul. Know me. Work side-by-side with
me. Allow my unseen Spirit to show you the changing influence we can create
together.

Salvation has been had--you know that. Your work is not about gaining
entrance into the heavens, no. It is not about spiritual favor or
superiority, no. Your work now concerns the well-being of the universe. It
concerns the growth of the Supreme Being. You are no longer about petty
mortal happenings, habits, behaviors, past injuries, no. My Mission
children, you are keepers of the Flame, bringers of the Light. Let us be
about the Father's business. I am in you and you in me. Carry on.

ABRAHAM: Our gratitude to our Brother/Father, Upholder, Liberator, Michael.
We are fully prepared to take up your challenge. We are determined to go
forth with your spiritual confidence and power to allow you your work. We
allow you your place in us, as you have allowed us ours in you. So be it.
Until next week, shalom.
