Jesus: I Speak to You Again

Chapter 46

Free Will

My dear brothers and sisters, each of you has been given the gift of free will by the Father, the one and only Father of all. This means that you can choose to act in various ways, and neither the Father nor I will force you otherwise. If the Father didn’t allow you to exercise your free will, you would not be able to grow as His mortal children, experiencing Him more deeply through the many stages of His manifestation in your life, both now and in the future. Through this journey, you develop into better, more perfect versions of yourselves, just as I have done.

Without free will, you would be no different from animals, who lack the same destiny you have—to experience the Father, spread love and goodness, and unite with His spirit within you. Ultimately, this journey leads you to Paradise, where you receive confirmation from the Father that you have fulfilled His command: “Be perfect, even as I am perfect,” all done out of love and by your own free will.

It is through free will that a human being can grow and develop. Even in the most difficult circumstances, when your physical body is in danger, and your life is threatened, you still have the freedom to choose—to remain loyal to the Father or to turn away from Him. This choice is always yours.

However, many of you mistakenly believe that you are forced into actions by others. In truth, no one—not even the Father—can make decisions for you. It is your mind that makes the decision, and each of you chooses your path freely. While circumstances might influence your choices, it is you who ultimately decide how to act, whether for good or bad.

I have reminded you many times while I walked among you: “Do not fear those who can take your life in the flesh, for their power ends there. Instead, fear those who can destroy your soul. What good is it to save your physical life if you lose your soul?”

One thing remains unchangeable: free will, given by the Father, is the driving force behind the growth and development of creation. Without free will, creation would be nothing more than a vast field of robots, incapable of achieving anything beyond their programmed functions. Machines you use today may perform precise, repetitive tasks, but they are limited. They cannot choose to do anything beyond what they were designed to do.

I offer this comparison to help you better understand what life would be like without free will. Just as machines lack the living energy of choice, mortals would be similar if their free will were taken away.

Therefore, you must understand that free will is what allows a person to make decisions and learn from their outcomes. This ability to choose and adapt is essential to personal growth, and it is possible only because of the Father’s gift of free will.

You may not often think about free will in your daily life, and you may feel that you don’t use it much. But in reality, every decision you make is rooted in your free will, even if it seems automatic or habitual. Every choice you make, even those that have become second nature, is still a result of your free will.

Free will only becomes challenging when there is a conflict between your inner self and the budding soul within you—your true, divine self. This is when you begin to question how you should act. These inner conflicts do not arise in the minds of the most primitive people, who act solely on instinct, nor do they occur in highly spiritual civilizations, which await you in the future. In such societies, conflict is a thing of the past, as people come together in spiritual harmony, serving one another and the Father. This inner devotion to the Father eliminates the conditions that lead to spiritual conflict and turmoil.

In such a society, people still strive for personal growth, but they do so by serving others—children, colleagues, society, all of creation, and the Father—through good deeds. This kind of development is based on the Father’s love and truth. As a result, tension and stress disappear from life, and joy becomes the dominant vibration because people no longer seek personal gain at the expense of others. Instead, they dedicate themselves to the greater good, and this benefits not only society but also science, economics, and material welfare. In such a society, competition is replaced by cooperation, guided by the Father’s presence within each person.

When the most spiritual members of society lead this way of life, it becomes a true expression of free will, carried out in love for the Father and one another as brothers and sisters. You can witness the power of this approach by forming a group of people who have experienced the Father within themselves and who work together in this spirit. Even if their task is something that others have already attempted, their results will surpass those of others. Their love for one another and the energy of their efforts will grow, and others will soon notice the difference.

To some, my words may seem like a fantasy. But I encourage you to test them. The only requirement is that each member of the group must have faith and must devote their free will to doing the Father’s will. This doesn’t mean everyone must become priests or spiritual leaders in the traditional sense. It simply means that they must believe in the Father, not through rituals or dogma, but by experiencing His love within themselves and sharing it with others. Through sincere prayer, both personal and collective, they will connect with the Father, and their lives will shine as spiritual examples to those seeking the same path.

Such people will continue to work in different roles, but their attitude toward work will change. They will work out of love, not for a reward, and their efforts will be rewarded beyond their expectations. This is the key to confirming my words in practice. One day, even children will understand this truth.
