	<title><![CDATA[Rapture]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Please, does the Urantia Book talk about rapture?&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Yes, the Urantia Book talks about rapture. However, this might depend on your definition of that word.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">In the early years of Adam and Eve here on Urantia, a rapture event occurred where some people who were living on earth were taken away to the heavenly realms. Please, see this:&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Urantia Book 76:6.2, &quot;...Many other loyal souls had already been translated at the time of Adam&rsquo;s arrival, which was attended by a dispensational adjudication of both the sleeping survivors and of the living qualified ascenders.&quot;&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is telling me that at the time of Adam&#39;s arrival, in addition to the dead who resurrected and ascended to the heavenly realms (mansion worlds), some people who were living, alive on earth - &quot;living qualified ascenders&quot;, also were translated or caught up to heaven (mansion worlds).&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is the same scenario the Apostle Paul painted when he talked about a future translation event, a.k.a &quot;rapture&quot; in the Book of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 -17, &quot;For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.&quot;&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">In other words, what Paul talked about has happened before - in the time of Adam. The translation of people living on earth - &quot;living qualified ascenders&quot; is a phenomenon that may occur side-by-side the resurrection and ascension of the dead - &quot;the sleeping survivors&quot;.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 15.84px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: center;">Sincerely</p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 15.84px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: center;">-Karo Kanye Akamune&nbsp;</p><p style="font-style: normal; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(94, 94, 94); text-align: center;">Learn More About The Christ Michael Center&nbsp;</p><p style="font-style: normal; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(94, 94, 94); text-align: center;">The Christ Michael Center:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.christmichaelcenter.org/" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 16px;">http://www.christmichaelcenter.org/</a><br />

The individual progress of human beings is measured by their successive attainment and traversal (mastery) of the seven cosmic circles. These circles of mortal progression are levels of associated intellectual, social, spiritual, and cosmic-insight values. Starting out in the seventh circle, mortals strive for the first, and all who have attained the third immediately have personal guardians of destiny assigned to them. These mortals may be repersonalized in the morontia life independent of dispensational or other adjudications.&quot;&nbsp;</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><strong>Eternal Life, Partial and Full</strong></b></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">You, as a kingdom believer, a spirit-born soul, a born again soul, already have eternal life. Please, see this:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Urantia Book 147:3.3, &quot;In speaking to those assembled, Jesus said: &quot;...Verily, verily, I say to you: He who hears the gospel of the kingdom and believes in this teaching of sonship with God, has eternal life; already are such believers passing from judgment and death to light and life...&quot;&quot;&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Urantia Book 153:2.11, &quot;...Jesus stood up and said: &ldquo;...Every one who yields to the teaching of the Father&rsquo;s indwelling spirit will eventually come to me. Not that any man has seen the Father, but the Father&rsquo;s spirit does live within man. And the Son who came down from heaven, he has surely seen the Father. And those who truly believe this Son already have eternal life.&quot;&quot;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You go through what we may call partial levels of activations of the eternal life of God. The level or degree of eternal life, of the power of the endless life that you show, express, or manifest depends on your level of combined intellectual and spiritual growth. Eternal life becomes fully activated in you after you fuse with your spirit, the still, small voice within, your Thought Adjuster. This fusion is eternal at-one-ness with God - eternal oneness with God. Upon attaining this very high status, it becomes totally impossible for you to lose your salvation. Your eternal security becomes a full, total, and complete guarantee. You cannot forsake the will of the Paradise Father anymore. Please, see this:&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Urantia Book 40:7.1, &quot;The sending of Adjusters, their indwelling, is indeed one of the unfathomable mysteries of God the Father. These fragments of the divine nature of the Universal Father carry with them the potential of creature immortality. Adjusters are immortal spirits, and union with them confers eternal life upon the soul of the fused mortal.&quot;&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Urantia Book 111:3.1, &quot;The mistakes of mortal mind and the errors of human conduct may markedly delay the evolution of the soul, although they cannot inhibit such a morontia phenomenon when once it has been initiated by the indwelling Adjuster with the consent of the creature will. But at any time prior to mortal death this same material and human will is empowered to rescind such a choice and to reject survival. Even after survival the ascending mortal still retains this prerogative of choosing to reject eternal life; at any time before fusion with the Adjuster the evolving and ascending creature can choose to forsake the will of the Paradise Father. Fusion with the Adjuster signalizes the fact that the ascending mortal has eternally and unreservedly chosen to do the Father&rsquo;s will.&quot;&nbsp;</span><br />

	<title><![CDATA[Has Anyone Gone To Heaven?.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><h3 style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(27, 27, 27);">Has Anyone Gone To Heaven?</h3></blockquote><div style="font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 32px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(89, 89, 89); font-size: 14px;">January 13, 2025</span></div><div style="font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; color: rgb(94, 94, 94);"><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>Yes, Jesus said no man has ever ascended to heaven. But please, what &quot;heaven&quot;? There is the &quot;Heaven of heavens&quot;. This is the literal dwelling place of God, our heavenly Father, our spiritual Father. This is actually what Paradise is. This is the HIGHEST heaven. It is the &quot;heaven&quot; of other &quot;heavens&quot;. The highest Heaven of all other heavens or heavenly spheres. The Jewish Bible captures this concept of the Heaven of heavens. Please see Deuteronomy 10:14, Nehemiah 9:6, 1 Kings 8:27, and Psalm 148:4.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>It takes time to get to the highest heaven after resurrection. You have to go through other heavens - other heavenly realms first. Some of us know of the first seven heavens people go through after they resurrect. Paul, while on earth, had a revelational experience of the third of these seven heavens. It is this set of seven heavens that Enoch and Elijah were translated to; NOT Paradise or the Heaven of heavens. This explains why Jesus said no man has been to &quot;heaven&quot; - to Paradise.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span>When you understand these things, you shall see that the repentant thief did not go to Paradise on that same day of the Crucifixion. It is literally impossible to ascend to Paradise, the literal dwelling place of the Paradise Trinity, within a day. You cannot even get there within 100,000 years.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span>There is a human error in the NT Bible&#39;s rendition of what Master Jesus said to the salvaged thief. The comma:, should be after the word &quot;today&quot;, NOT before. Luke 23:43 is supposed to be: &quot;Truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise.&quot; Some theologians have discovered this human error.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span>Besides, the Father&#39;s presence there has light no human soul can approach (1 Timothy 6:16). You have to learn, grow, evolve, and be prepared for it. You have to become perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect. If not, you will shatter to pieces if taken to the literal presence of the Father immediately you resurrect.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span><em style="font-size: inherit !important;"><strong style="font-size: inherit !important;">Enoch and Elijah were translated in chariots of fire to heaven (or the heavenly mansion worlds). This spiritual fire&nbsp;literally consumes the body of flesh and blood to dust, ashes...</strong></em><em style="font-size: inherit !important;">&nbsp;</em></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>You and I can have a similar experience if we meet the requirements. We have to attain a very high level of combined intellectual and spiritual growth. This is why the Jewish records indicate and rightly so: that Enoch walked with God in a very, very deep way. This led to his translation, for God took him. (Reference: Genesis 5:24) This, my dear, is also what happened to Elijah.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>Some people say Elijah was taken to another part of the earth in a windstorm. A windstorm do NOT take people from one part of the earth to another. That&#39;s a myth, beloved. Some folks may point to 2 Chronicles 21 to show that Elijah was still on earth after his translation experience. Please, just stop to consider the human errors in the writing of the Bible and also mistakes people make in interpreting what was written. Then, you&#39;ll understand...&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span>+ + +&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />
<span><strong style="font-size: inherit !important;">Urantia Book 11:0.1</strong>&quot;PARADISE is the eternal center of the universe of universes and the abiding place of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, the Infinite Spirit, and their divine co-ordinates and associates. This central Isle is the most gigantic organized body of cosmic reality in all the master universe. Paradise is a material sphere as well as a spiritual abode. All of the intelligent creation of the Universal Father is domiciled on material abodes; hence must the absolute controlling center also be material, literal. And again it should be reiterated that spirit things and spiritual beings are&nbsp;<em style="font-size: inherit !important;">real</em>.&quot;&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><span><strong style="font-size: inherit !important;">Urantia Book 48:6.23</strong>&nbsp;&quot;You should consider the statement about &ldquo;heaven&rdquo; and the &ldquo;heaven of heavens.&rdquo; The heaven conceived by most of your prophets was the first of the mansion worlds of the local system. When the apostle spoke of being &ldquo;caught up to the third heaven,&rdquo; he referred to that experience in which his Adjuster was detached during sleep and in this unusual state made a projection to the third of the seven mansion worlds. Some of your wise men saw the vision of the greater heaven, &ldquo;the heaven of heavens,&rdquo; of which the sevenfold mansion world experience was but the first; the second being Jerusem; the third, Edentia and its satellites; the fourth, Salvington and the surrounding educational spheres; the fifth, Uversa; the sixth, Havona; and the seventh, Paradise.&quot;&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><br />

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">AYO&#39;S MONTHLY BLOG ON &quot;HOW LOVE DESTROYS HATE&quot;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" height="300" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/82427/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="329"><strong><span style="font-size: 24px;">The Individual at the Heart of Jesus&rsquo; Teachings: </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Insights from the Urantia Book:</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In the Urantia Book, we find a powerful assertion: &ldquo;Nothing ever seemed so important to Jesus as the individual human who chanced to be in his immediate presence. He was master and teacher, but he was more&mdash;he was also a friend and neighbor, an understanding comrade.&rdquo; </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">This quote encapsulates the essence of Jesus&rsquo; approach to humanity and highlights several themes worth exploring. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Emphasis on Individual Worth</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">At the core of Jesus&#39; teachings is the profound respect for each individual. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Urantia Book emphasizes that Jesus valued the unique experiences and stories of every person he encountered. This sentiment echoes throughout the text, reminding us that each individual carries intrinsic worth, regardless of their circumstances. </span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="700" src="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/images/The%20Revelations%20of%20God%20Flash%20on%20Earth-01%20copy.gif" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="394">Jesus as a Model for Human Relations:</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The interactions Jesus had with those around him serve as a blueprint for meaningful relationships. His ability to connect with people&mdash;be it through healing, teaching, or simple acts of kindness&mdash;illustrates the importance of empathy and understanding in our own lives. By engaging with others on a personal level, Jesus taught us that fostering genuine connections is vital to building a compassionate community.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Recovering the &quot;Human Jesus&quot; </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In discussions around Jesus&rsquo; life, there is a call to recover the &quot;human Jesus&quot; from the confines of dogma. The Urantia Book presents Jesus not merely as a divine figure but as a relatable human being who faced struggles, joys, and complexities just like us. By recognizing his humanity, we can draw inspiration from his bravery and courage, motivating us to navigate our own challenges with grace. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>The Importance of Gender Sensitivity:</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In examining Jesus&rsquo; teachings, some papers highlight how his respect for individuals transcended societal norms, including gender roles. The quote from the Urantia Book serves as a foundation for discussions about the importance of inclusivity and understanding in our interactions, regardless of gender. Jesus&rsquo; example encourages us to honor every person&rsquo;s dignity and contributions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>A Unique Perspective on Jesus&rsquo; Mission:</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Urantia Book presents Jesus as Michael of Nebadon, a Creator Son with a mission that extended beyond his earthly life. This broader perspective invites us to consider the lasting impact of his teachings and the importance of his relationships with individuals during his time on Earth. His legacy challenges us to extend that same compassion and understanding to others today. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Conclusion</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The insights from the Urantia Book remind us that at the heart of Jesus&#39; ministry was a deep commitment to valuing each individual. As we reflect on his teachings, let&rsquo;s take to heart the responsibility of fostering connections that honor the unique stories of those around us. In a world that often emphasizes the collective over the individual, we can strive to be present for one another, embodying the spirit of friendship, empathy, and understanding that Jesus exemplified. Let&rsquo;s embrace this opportunity to create a more compassionate and connected world, where every individual feels seen, valued, and loved.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Stay blessed as you read my reflection </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Godspeed Ayo&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="525" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/84815/master/" width="700"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

He was not just a master and teacher; he was a friend, a neighbor, and an understanding comrade. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">This profound connection is beautifully captured in the Urantia Book, where it states, &ldquo;Nothing ever seemed so important to Jesus as the individual human who chanced to be in his immediate presence.&nbsp;&rdquo; His ability to see and value each person&mdash;regardless of their background or circumstances&mdash;teaches us a powerful lesson about compassion. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Imagine the countless lives he touched through simple acts of kindness, attentive listening, and genuine care. In our daily lives, we can embody this spirit by taking the time to connect with those around us, recognizing their struggles, joys, and unique stories. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">As we navigate our own journeys, let us remember the importance of individual connections. In a world that often feels disconnected, we can choose to be present, to listen, and to uplift one another. Let&rsquo;s embrace the opportunity to be a friend to those in need, just as Jesus was. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In these small acts of compassion, we can create ripples of love and understanding, reminding ourselves and others that each person truly matters. Let&rsquo;s carry this reminder into our lives and communities, fostering a world where every individual feels seen, valued, and loved. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ayo&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">2025-06-6th,7th,8th, Nakivale Refugee Trip Report</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></p><p><img alt="" height="300" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/83233/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="300"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Nakivale Refugee Trip Report</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Brother we are going to Nakivale next week but as we had promised to go and restore hope to our brothers and sisters in the refugee camp we had promised to pay 150,000 Uganda shillings&nbsp;<br />
I had to pay 100,000 Uganda shillings and promised to donate 10 chicken to the refugees there by restoring hope in them and letting them know that they also can but as for now I have failed to get 50,000 Uganda shillings and I would request if you could be of help&nbsp;<br />
This is almost $30 only</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">We need to check on them and do some voluntary work to help them also get to know how conditions are going on Uganda. The money we collected bought sewing machines and other things.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">We embarked on a journey from Fort Portal on Thursday evening, bound for Nakivale Refugee Settlement. As I approached Ibanda, rain poured down, welcoming me to the town. Fortunately, I was warmly received by Don Herman, who provided a comfortable resting place for the night. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The next morning, Friday, our team of eight people set off together, fueled by determination and anticipation. We reached the settlement in the evening, where we were warmly welcomed by the community. The following day, we began our work, learning about permaculture principles and practices from Brother Teut from Kenya. Under his guidance, we engaged in various activities, including hands-on training and community projects, gaining valuable insights and experiences during our stay. Through this trip, we not only acquired new skills but also developed a deeper understanding of the refugee community&#39;s resilience and resourcefulness.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85560/master/" width="300">&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85559/master/" width="300">&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85558/master/" width="300"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85556/master/" width="300">&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85554/master/" width="300">&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85553/master/" width="300"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85552/master/" width="300">&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85042/master/" width="312">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85041/master/" width="350"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="1851" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/85555/master/" width="2560"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000">&nbsp;

Each fruit&mdash;love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control&mdash;serves as a guiding light, helping us navigate our relationships and experiences. </span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Impact of Spiritual Fruits: </span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When we embody these fruits, we create a ripple effect in our communities. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Here&rsquo;s how each fruit can manifest in our daily lives:</strong> </span></p><ul>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Love: Cultivating empathy and compassion for others. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Joy: Finding happiness in simple moments and sharing that joy with others.</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Peace: Promoting harmony in our interactions, even in conflict. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Patience: Understanding that growth takes time, both in ourselves and others. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Kindness: Performing small acts of kindness that can transform someone&#39;s day. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Goodness: Striving to do what is right, even when it&rsquo;s difficult. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Faithfulness: Being reliable and trustworthy in our commitments. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Gentleness: Approaching others with sensitivity and caring.</span></li>
</ul><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>A Call to Action:</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In a world often filled with chaos and negativity, embracing the fruits of the spirit can be a powerful antidote. This quote reminds us that we are not just individuals; we are part of a larger tapestry of life, where our actions can inspire and uplift those around us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">As you go about your day, consider how you can nurture these fruits within yourself. Whether through acts of kindness, moments of patience, or expressions of love, each effort contributes to a more compassionate and harmonious world. </span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Conclusion: </span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The teachings of the Urantia Book invite us to reflect on our spiritual lives and the impact we have on others. By embodying the fruits of the spirit, we not only enhance our own lives but also contribute to the collective good of humanity. Let us strive to manifest these divine qualities in every aspect of our lives. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ayo 09.06.2025&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l16FM4PYlKs</p>]]></description>
