Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 56
How the Inanimate Turns into the Animate within Yourself
Once your soul begins to breathe freely and express itself through good deeds, your body will regain its health without the need for chemical drugs. But for your soul to soar freely within you, calling you to express love and mercy outwardly towards your brothers and sisters, you must make constant and determined efforts to turn inward to the Father who dwells within each of you. For many, this inner turning can feel difficult and tedious, which is why so many cling to dead rituals and dogmas that have been wrongly taught for over two thousand years by church leaders who have not found the Father within themselves. This is why they cannot guide you to the Father’s love and truth.
I, whom you call Christ, am giving you these teachings to help you find your way, so that you may no longer be like lost sheep. I am here to free you from the mistaken path that has been, and continues to be, imposed upon you by the church.
You must understand that by walking on the living path I have shown you—by walking through me—you can find the Father within yourself. When I said, “I am the way, the living water, the bread of life,” I didn’t mean that you should worship me through rituals and empty professions of faith. I meant that you must live my teachings with vigor and faith. The good news I brought you is that the Father is one for all and within all, and that we are all brothers and sisters in spirit.
Unfortunately, my living teachings have been distorted by the church hierarchy, who themselves do not understand what they teach. They preach a dead, non-existent truth: that I established the church, that I am its head, and that you must serve and support the church. But this is not true.
I have never taught such things. I always taught one simple truth: faith in the heavenly kingdom within your own heart. And at the head of that kingdom is the Source of All Sources—the Father. Throughout my time on Earth, I sought to strengthen and comfort you, encouraging you to experience living faith in the Father within yourselves. Now, I speak to you just as frankly and resolutely through this teaching, which I am delivering to you through my apostle of this time, who is also the Father’s ambassador. He has devoted himself to preaching my gospel, and this calling has been authorized by me and confirmed by the Father. My gospel remains as valid today as it was when I walked in human flesh upon this beautiful planet. And today, my gospel has been expanded by my apostle to include this great truth: the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the brotherhood of all creation.
This means that all creation—all the universes and all the beings within them—are lovingly and kindly disposed toward you because they share the same Father, who is also my Father. Therefore, I urge you to turn bravely toward the Father, who has sent a fragment of Himself, His living spirit, to dwell within each of you. This is the true, living path that I offer you. It is this path that I embody because the Father and I are one in spirit, even though we are two separate personalities. My being originated from the Father and from the Second Person of the Paradise Trinity, the Eternal Son, who has been confused with my person by the church authorities. I am a different Son of God, but in spirit, I am united with both the Father and the Eternal Son.
As you walk the living path of faith, as you walk through me by embracing my gospel with living faith, you also walk toward the Father. This is the only true path leading to the Father—a living faith. There are many smaller paths that lead to living faith, but often they are more prone to error.
