You are not now as men among men but as the enlightened citizens of another and heavenly country among the ignorant creatures of this dark world. It is not enough that you live as you were before this hour, but henceforth must you live as those who have tasted the glories of a better life and have been sent back to earth as ambassadors of the Sovereign of that new and better world. Of the teacher more is expected than of the pupil; of the master more is exacted than of the servant. Of the citizens of the heavenly kingdom more is required than of the citizens of the earthly rule. Some of the things which I am about to say to you may seem hard, but you have elected to represent me in the world even as I now represent the Father; and as my agents on earth you will be obligated to abide by those teachings and practices which are reflective of my ideals of mortal living on the worlds of space, and which I exemplify in my earth life of revealing the Father who is in heaven.<a href="https://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/The-Urantia-Papers/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #808080;"> From the teachings of the Urantia Revelations (1955)</span></a></span></p></blockquote><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="560"></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><img alt="" height="500" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/79898/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="700">The following remarkable prophecy, given in the year 1679, forcefully confirms the truths written above. We quote it in its entirety for your benefit and blessing. Please read and re-read it for its truths are profound:</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">01 &quot;There shall be a total and full redemption by Christ. This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same unto all holy seekers and loving enquirers. The completion of such a redemption is withheld and abstracted by the seals of Revelation. Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open seal after seal, <a href="http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6699ff;">(Paper after Paper)</span></a> so shall this redemption come to be revealed, both particularly and universally. In the gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in Christ doth consist the unsearchable wisdom of God which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy seeker. In order to which the&nbsp;<a href="http://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/The-Urantia-Papers/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 18px;" target="_blank">Ark of the Testimony in Heaven&nbsp;</a>shall be opened before the end of this age, and the living testimony herein contained shall be unsealed.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/images2023/Sign-To_The_Elect_of_God-1%20copy.gif"></a></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">02 &quot;The presence of the Divine Ark (Christ) will constitute the life of this Virgin Church, and wherever this body is, there must the Ark of necessity be. The unsealing of the living testimony within the Ark of God must begin the promulgation of&nbsp;<a href="http://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/Jesus-Papers/0000-Index-Text.htm" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 18px;" target="_blank">the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom.</a>&nbsp;The proclamation of the testimony will be as the sounding of a trumpet of alarm to the nations of professed Christendom. Authority shall be given by Christ to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true church that is born of the New Jerusalem mother. This decision will be the actual sealing of the body of Christ with the name (or authority) of God, giving them a commission to act by the same. This new name (or authority) will distinguish them from the seven thousand names of Babylon.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">03 &quot;The election and preparation of this Virgin Church is to be after a secret and hidden manner. As David in his ministry was chosen and anointed by the prophet of the Lord, yet was not admitted to the outward profession of the kingdom for a considerable time afterward, of the stem of David a Virgin Church, which hath known nothing of a man or human constitution, is to be born, and it will require some time for it to get out of the minority and arrive at full and mature age.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">04 &quot;The birth of this Virgin Church was typified by St. John&#39;s vision where the great wonder appeared in heaven, bringing forth her first born, that was caught up to the throne of God (or identified with the authority of God). For as a woman brought forth Christ after the flesh, so shall a Sonship Family bring forth the first born after the Spirit, who shall be endowed with the seven spirits of God. This spiritual family so brought forth and sealed with the mark of divine authority will have no bonds or impositions; but the holy unction among these new born spirits will be &quot; I AM all in all a new revelation of the Supreme Being.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">05 &quot;There is not at this day (1679) visible upon the earth such a church; all profession being found light when weighed in the balances. Therefore they are rejected by the Supreme Judge, which rejection will be for this cause, that out of them may come a new and glorious church. (Comprising a single human family) Then shall the glory of God and the Lamb so rest upon this typical tabernacle, so that it shall be called the Tabernacle of Wisdom, and though it is not now known in visibility, yet it shall be seen as coming out of the wilderness within a short time. Then will it go on to multiply and propogate itself universally, not only to the number of the first born (144,000) but also to the remnant of the seed, against whom the dragon will make war continually.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">06 &quot;Wherefore the spirit of David shall revive in this church and most especially in some elect members of it as the blossoming root. These will have might given them to overcome the dragon and his angels even as David overcame Goliath and the Philistine army. This will be the standing up of the great Prince Michael, and it will be as the appearing of Moses against Pharaoh in order that the chosen seed may be brought out of hard servitude.&quot; Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world&hellip;(the Power Elite)</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44401/master/" style="font-size: 18px;" width="684"></span></p><blockquote style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">157:4.5 Jesus, still standing, then said to the twelve: &quot;You are my chosen ambassadors, but I know that, in the circumstances, you could not entertain this belief as a result of mere human knowledge. This is a revelation of the spirit of my Father to your inmost souls. And when, therefore, you make this confession by the insight of the spirit of my Father which dwells within you, I am led to declare that upon this foundation will I build the brotherhood of the kingdom of heaven. Upon this rock of spiritual reality will I build the living temple of spiritual fellowship in the eternal realities of my Father&#39;s kingdom. All the forces of evil and the hosts of sin shall not prevail against this human fraternity of the divine spirit. And while my Father&#39;s spirit shall ever be the divine guide and mentor of all who enter the bonds of this spirit fellowship, to you and your successors I now deliver the keys of the outward kingdom -- the authority over things temporal -- the social and economic features of this association of men and women as fellows of the kingdom.&quot; And again he charged them, for the time being, that they should tell no man that he was the Son of God.<a href="http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"> From the teachings of the Urantia Revelations(1955)</a></span></p></blockquote><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="60" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-12-Divider3.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="903"></p><blockquote style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Eph. 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the full armour of God, that ye may withstand the evil day.<br />

For Christ will appear in some chosen vessels to bring into the Promised Land the New Creation state.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">08 &quot;Thus Moses, Joshua, and Aaron may be considered types of some upon whom the same Spirit will come, yet in greater proportion. Whereby they shall make way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mt. Zion; but none shall stand under God but those who have become &quot;tried&quot; stones after the pattern and similitude of Christ. This will be fiery trial through which a very few will be able to pass or bear up in it. Whereby the waiters for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of Pure Love. This trial will be of absolute necessity to all for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning of all wood, hay, and stubble. For nothing must remain in the fire, for as a refiner shall He purify the sons of the Kingdom.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">09 &quot;There will be some who will be fully redeemed, being clothed upon with a priestly garment after the Melchizedek order. This will qualify them for governing Authority. Therefore it is required on their part to suffer the Spirit of burning and fanning of the fiery breath searching every part within them until they arrive at a Fixed Body from whence the wonders are to flow out.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">10 &quot;Upon this body will be the fixation of the Urim and Thummim that are the portion of the Melchizedek priesthood whose descent is not counted in the genealogy of that creation which is under the fall, but in another genealogy which is a New Creation. Hence these priests will have a deep inward search and divine sight into secret things of Deity; will be able to prophesy in a clear ground; not darkly and enigmatically, for they will know what is couched in the first originality of all beings, in the eternal anti-type of nature, and will be able to bring them forth according to the divine counsel and ordination.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">11 &quot;The Lord sweareth in truth and righteousness that from Abraham&#39;s line, according to the Spirit, there shall arise a holy seed, produced and manifested in the last age. The mighty spirit of Cyrus is appointed to lay the foundation of this Third Temple and support it in building.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">12 &quot;There are characteristics and marks whereby the pure Virgin Church shall be known and distinguished from all others that are low, false, and counterfeit. There must be a manifestation of the Spirit whereby to edify and raise up this church, bringing heaven down upon the earth and representing here the New Jerusalem state, in order to which spirits are thus begotten and born of God, ascended to New Jerusalem above where their Head in majesty doth reign.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">13 &quot;None but those who have so ascended and received His glory can condescend and communicate the same, being thereby His representatives upon the earth and subordinate priests under Him now. He that has ascended and glorified has made Himself, as it were, our Debtor. Consequently, He will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain high and principal instruments who shall be most humble and as little regarded as David was, whom He will dignify with honour and priestly sovereignty for drawing to them the scattered flocks, and gathering them into one fold out of all nations.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">14 &quot;Therefore, there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among the bands of believers that they may be of the first-fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/3786/the-planetary-reserve-corps-of-destiny" target="_blank">and so be made principal agents for Him and with Him</a>, that they may be, if possible, of the number of the First-born of the New Jerusalem mother. All true waiters of His Kingdom in Spirit, under whatsoever profession they may be, ought to be numbered among the virgin spirits to whom this message appertains.

Commit not the folly of calling that divine which is wholly human, and fail not to discern the words of truth which come not through the traditional oracles of supposed inspiration. <a href="https://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/The-Urantia-Papers/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank">From the teachings of the Urantia Revelations (1955)</a></span></p></blockquote><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" src=".%20In%20accordance%20with%20the%20truth%20committed%20to%20your%20hands%20will%20the%20Master%20of%20truth%20require%20a%20reckoning."><img alt="" height="561" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/83922/master/" width="1000"></p><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">5TH EPOCHAL REVELATION OF GOD TO MAN</span></div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><a href="http://theuniversalfather.com/" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 14.4px;" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="128" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44397/master/" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="637"></a></div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44394/master/" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="700"></div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="523" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44403/master/" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="700"></div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="67" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44408/master/" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="74"></div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="1000"></div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;">A NEW SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS</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 style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="300" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/53569/master/" width="300">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" height="330" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/36506/master/" width="227"></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">A New School of the Prophets</span></strong></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">148:1.1 (1657.6) Peter, James, and Andrew were the committee designated by Jesus to pass upon applicants for admission to the school of evangelists. All the races and nationalities of the Roman world and the East, as far as India, were represented among the students in this new school of the prophets. This school was conducted on the plan of learning and doing. What the students learned during the forenoon they taught to the assembly by the seaside during the afternoon. After supper they informally discussed both the learning of the forenoon and the teaching of the afternoon.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">148:1.2 (1658.1) Each of the apostolic teachers taught his own view of the gospel of the kingdom. They made no effort to teach just alike; there was no standardized or dogmatic formulation of theologic doctrines. Though they all taught the same truth, each apostle presented his own personal interpretation of the Master&rsquo;s teaching. And Jesus upheld this presentation of the diversity of personal experience in the things of the kingdom, unfailingly harmonizing and co-ordinating these many and divergent views of the gospel at his weekly question hours. Notwithstanding this great degree of personal liberty in matters of teaching, Simon Peter tended to dominate the theology of the school of evangelists. Next to Peter, James Zebedee exerted the greatest personal influence.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">148:1.3 (1658.2) The one hundred and more evangelists trained during this five months by the seaside represented the material from which (excepting Abner and John&rsquo;s apostles) the later seventy gospel teachers and preachers were drawn. The school of evangelists did not have everything in common to the same degree as did the twelve.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">148:1.4 (1658.3) These evangelists, though they taught and preached the gospel, did not baptize believers until after they were later ordained and commissioned by Jesus as the seventy messengers of the kingdom. Only seven of the large number healed at the sundown scene at this place were to be found among these evangelistic students. The nobleman&rsquo;s son of Capernaum was one of those trained for gospel service in Peter&rsquo;s school.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="160" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69802/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="160"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 22px;">Let&#39;s join hands in the establishment of the school of future evangelist and teachers of the urantia book teachings!</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img alt="" height="267" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69794/master/" width="200"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="188" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69793/master/" width="250"><img alt="" height="188" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69792/master/" width="250"><img alt="" height="188" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69791/master/" width="250"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); 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>

But the challenges she faced, as documented in her report on the project, were monumental.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">Congo is the scene of one of the world&rsquo;s longest-running conflicts. Decades of fighting have resulted in six million deaths and more than six million people displaced in a humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the country&rsquo;s eastern region.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">Whole communities of women and young girls have been left without husbands and fathers.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">A few years ago Caroline,&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">a women&rsquo;s leader and counselor,</span>&nbsp;formed a women&rsquo;s corps&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">- the <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/39383/african-urantia-women-disciple-making-movement-auwdmm" target="_blank">African Urantia Women Disciple-Making Movement</a> -&nbsp;</span>whose members provide one another with both financial and spiritual support.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">Caroline has become</span><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">&nbsp;known as &ldquo;Mama Africa&rdquo; because of her determination to travel to women in need through the continent, even when her health is poor and she is weak.</span></span></p><h2 style="margin-top: 0.6em; margin-bottom: 0.6em; font-style: normal; font-size: 34px; color: rgb(83, 97, 169);"><span style="font-size: 30px;">Delivering the Full Gospel of Jesus</span></h2><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">The movement&#39;s mission is to reach out to people, especially women, with the full gospel of Jesus from the&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 18px;">Urantia Book</em>&nbsp;revelation. They establish study groups while providing social and economic services, and training the women to be productive in society.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">Many of those they help are victims of rape, now raising fatherless children and lacking basic needs like water, food, clothing and education.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">The church in which she is a leader, the <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/11753/siloam-altar-revival-ministries-international" target="_blank">Siloam Altar Revival Ministries International,</a> had started &quot;compassion ministries&quot;, which help build good relationships with the women of different families.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">&quot;We have been able to distribute food and mosquito nets to the needy especially during the lockdown period.

They had to do two Covid tests and pay more than expected for transport over the Christmas period. They experienced transport delays and as a result had to go over budget on accommodation.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">But that was the least of it. She describes a scene of shooting and panic on their arrival in the city. And then Caroline fell ill to a severe disease which made it difficult for her to perform her duties.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">On the day of the conference, unexpected heavy rainfall soaked many women and their children who <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44170/master/">could not be accommodated in the conference venue. </a>There were problems encountered in translating English into Swahili and French, as well as too few Urantia Books to go around.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">Yet, the conference bore fruit: 25 Urantia reader groups were formed and five leaders were identified who could read English and help the rest understand the revelation.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.6em; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;">One of the leaders of the women&rsquo;s corps gifted them <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/image/44508/urantia-revelation-office-goma-dr-congo" target="_blank">a house for their Urantia Book office</a> &ndash; &ldquo;a miracle worth celebrating,&rdquo; says Caroline.

<span style="font-size: 18px;">it is,&nbsp;the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought, therefore the mind is very pivotal in directing and controlling the actions of a person,,for it&#39;s like a gear box,it tells them what to do ,it directs man ,controls his emotions ,,many are the times when we have been hearing words like ,,l have lost my mind &quot;<img alt="" height="63" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/68743/master/" width="70"> ,,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In this dynamic world that man lives in surrounded&nbsp;by several challenges ,and perhaps ups and downs ,it is easy for the mind of someone to be easily diverted to doing the worst and the bad things ,for the mind ,acts like a heart for emotions ,,feeling ,,</span></p><blockquote><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>110:6.4&nbsp;</sup>It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function -- when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development -- that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first.&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-size: 28px;">H</span></strong><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>ow about the soul?&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">It&#39;s&nbsp;the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">So this is where most the people miss the concept from, we normally tend to concentrate on our works, others get ruined by our emotions and do become contrary, and difficult.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">It&#39;s so unfortunate&nbsp;that most of the people do not prepare their souls for God to operate in them. That&#39;s why we have people who can do things that are complicated ,,God have mercy ?</span></p><blockquote><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>144:2.3</sup> &quot;Prayer is the breath of the soul and should lead you to be persistent in your attempt to ascertain the Father&#39;s will.</p></blockquote><p><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 28px;">I</span><span style="font-size: 18px;">s it the way to go..?</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ideally not,. as we very well know that we are one body ,we are therefore required to endeavour to keep shaping our fellows by drawing near to them.&nbsp;</span></p><p><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 28px;">W</span><span style="font-size: 18px;">hat am l trying to say?</span></strong></p><p><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">I am advocating for unity and togetherness&nbsp; ,,for if we are one ,we are able to stand strong,and not letting our emotions rule us ,,most cases come from loneliness,</span></p><p><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Together we can impact many!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Blessings and love ,,</span><br />

	<title><![CDATA[This Is What Inspired Me]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">This Is What Inspired Me In Reading The UB</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></div><div><img alt="" height="160" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/44220/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="94"><span style="font-size: 16px;">As It Talks About Science And Philosophy. I Am A Science Student Too, Fifty-Fifty&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Mind and Matter( paper 42).</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">In the inner experience of man, mind is joined to matter. Such material-linked minds cannot survive mortal death. The technique of survival is embraced in those adjustments of the human will and those transformations in the mortal mind whereby such a God-conscious intellect gradually becomes spirit taught and eventually spirit led. This evolution of the human mind from matter association to spirit union results in the transmutation of the potentially spirit phases of the mortal mind into the morontia realities of the immortal soul. Mortal mind subservient to matter is destined to become increasingly material and consequently to suffer eventual personality extinction; mind yielded to spirit is destined to become increasingly spiritual and ultimately to achieve oneness with the surviving and guiding divine spirit and in this way to attain survival and eternity of personality existence. ~ The Urantia Book, (1:3.7)</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">The endless sweep of relative cosmic reality from the absoluteness of Paradise monota to the absoluteness of space potency, is suggestive of certain evolutions of relationship in the nonspiritual realities of the First Source and Center&mdash;those realities which are concealed in space potency, revealed in monota, and provisionally disclosed on intervening cosmic levels. This eternal cycle of energy, being circuited in the Father of universes, is absolute and, being absolute, is expansile in neither fact nor value; nevertheless the Primal Father is even now&mdash;as always&mdash;self-realizing of an ever-expanding arena of time-space, and of time-space-transcended, meanings, an arena of changing relationships wherein energy-matter is being progressively subjected to the overcontrol of living and divine spirit through the experiential striving of living and personal mind. ~ The Urantia Book, (42:10.1)</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Since ancient man regarded himself and his material environment as being directly responsive to the whims of the ghosts and the fancies of the spirits, it is nonot strange that his religion should have been so exclusively concerned with material affairs. Modern man attacks his material problems directly; he recognizes that matter is responsive to the intelligent manipulation of mind. Primitive man likewise desired to modify and even to control the life and energies of the physical domains; and since his limited comprehension of the cosmos led him to the belief that ghosts, spirits, and gods were personally and immediately concerned with the detailed control of life and matter, he logically directed his efforts to winning the favor and support of these superhuman agencies. ~ The Urantia Book, (90:3.1)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

The charge which Jesus gave these ten women as he set them apart for gospel teaching and ministry was the emancipation proclamation which set free all women and for all time; no more was man to look upon woman as his spiritual inferior.&nbsp;</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">AND then, as you may not have already read, that upon his ascension back to to the Father for approval of this last mission for full sovereignty of his Universe reign, that he announce the Proclamation of Equality: our Divine Mother(the Holy Spirit) in equal partnership as co-creator with him.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">He announced this fi</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">rst on OUR world!!!&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">So, to this end, I am looking forward<a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/discussion/group/67605" target="_blank"> to discussion here </a>as well as to future zoom meetings&nbsp;where we ladies can fully ask and receive answers heretofore kept from the church attendees in order to liberate them on their path to a more fruitful and personal relationship and friendship with God, our Beloved Father in Paradise, through learning about the full life of Jesus of Nazareth as he lived his perfect life here on (Urantia) earth.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="61" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-01-thin-shadow.png" width="880"></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Shepherds Wanted]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4B0082;"><span style="font-size: 36px;">Shepherds Wanted</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">It&rsquo;s hard to know where to begin with this issue. As all dedicated students of spiritual truth know, the &lsquo;desertification&rsquo;, or spiritual desiccation of the traditions, is a symptom of a much deeper spiritual malaise. The tradition based shepherds have strayed far from the fountain of living spiritual truth and are now well and truly lost. Their flocks have unwittingly followed them into a great and terrible spiritual desert. This tragic reality was foreseen by the prophet Amos, chapter 8:</span></strong></p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><sup>11&nbsp;</sup><span>Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:</span></span></em></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">This statement references the great spiritual crisis that the &lsquo;global north&rsquo; [North America and Europe] is currently experiencing.</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><sup>12&nbsp;</sup><span>And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.</span></span></em></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">This speaks about how the people of the &lsquo;global north&rsquo; will search for spiritual sustenance among the traditions of the East, i.e.: Buddhist and Yogic traditions, and even the atavistic and shamanic traditions of the south.</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><sup>13&nbsp;</sup><span>In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.</span></span></em></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>But the severity of the spiritual crisis will be intense and will probably be indicated by high suicide rates, self-destructive behaviours among our youth, the further breakdown of the family, and the high places falling victim to fatal corruption &ndash; leading to national devastation. This is the great famine of&nbsp;</span><em>The Why</em><span>. Nietzsche once said, &lsquo;he that has a &lsquo;why&rsquo; can bear with almost any &lsquo;How&rsquo;&rsquo; and what this means is that a person that sees that their life has meaning, value, and purpose &ndash; he that has a &lsquo;why&rsquo; can endure and overcome the most insurmountable of obstacles, whilst without a why we stumble over molehills. When Jesus taught that we should &lsquo;seek first the kingdom&rsquo; he was admonishing us to find our WHY, our purpose [satisfaction through the pursuit of perfection, joy through loving service for our fellows, and completion in worship]. Without purpose life becomes aimless and unprofitable; it tends towards chaos. Purpose gives us perspective, puts things into proportion, helps us determine what will help us and what will hinder the realisation of our goal, what we should keep and what we should let go of. A pile of wood is useless to a man without a vision but if that same man dreams of a log cabin, or a boat then that wood becomes a means of realising a dream &ndash; it acquires purpose and value, and it gives his life direction and aim.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&lsquo;Not a famine of bread and water&rsquo; would indicate a time of relative material prosperity. The challenge generated by material opulence is the false confidence that occurs when we fall under the illusion that we&rsquo;ve &lsquo;got it all&rsquo;, that we &lsquo;got it made&rsquo;, are self-sufficient, but, in reality, all we are is self deluded.</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;You will stand in grave danger in subsequent times when most men will speak well of kingdom believers and many in high places nominally accept the gospel of the heavenly kingdom. Learn to be faithful to the kingdom even in times of peace and prosperity. Tempt not the angels of your supervision to lead you in troublous ways as a loving discipline designed to save your ease-drifting souls.&rdquo; [178:1.10]</span></em></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">We forget that material wealth springs from spiritual resources like honesty, integrity, trustworthiness, justice, humility, conscientiousness, thriftiness, exaltation of family life and social service, but success leaves us vulnerable to pride and as pride goes into ascendancy these virtues are undermined and immediately are sown the seeds of the destruction of that culture. Thus our angels have been forced to lead us &lsquo;into troublous ways as a loving discipline designed to save [our] ease-drifting souls.&rsquo; Indeed,</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>&ldquo;For when culture advances overfast, when material achievement outruns the evolution of worship-wisdom, then does civilization contain within itself the seeds of retrogression; and unless buttressed by the swift augmentation of experiential wisdom, such human societies will recede from high but premature levels of attainment, and the &quot;dark ages&quot; of the interregnum of wisdom will bear witness to the inexorable restoration of the imbalance between self-liberty and self-control.&rdquo; [118:8.6]</em></span></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>Recessions [sudden corrections] occur when individuals and large groups lose their spiritual bearings or values, when they follow/worship&nbsp;</span><em>false values</em><span>. Without an effective spiritual compass, we are lost and today &ndash; arguably more than in any other generation &ndash; we are experiencing the most profound spiritual bankruptcy or famine that has ever been experienced in the history of the world. So profound is this famine that every resource has been plundered and there is nothing left, politically, economically, traditionally, we appear to be screwed. Folks are really feeling it. On the other side, this is a tremendous opportunity for those that possess a great revelation, a grand and consoling spiritual and cosmic perspective.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Unfortunately Roman Catholic Institution is suffering because the princes of the tradition abandoned the gospel in favour of political ecclesiology. It stands under condemnation of one of the great laws of the Kingdom, </span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>&ldquo;He who selfishly loves his life stands in danger of losing it; but he who is willing to lay down his life for my sake and the gospel&#39;s shall enjoy a more abundant existence on earth and in heaven, life eternal.&rdquo; [174:5.8]</em> </span></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">These princes have knowingly and willingly sacrificed the lives of children that they might protect a man made creation, their true values [or lack thereof] and the extent of their blindness is revealed in that they value the dead and lifeless thing that is their institution above living children. They abandoned the gospel values they were sworn to up hold. </span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>&ldquo;He who is a hireling, when danger arises, will flee and allow the sheep to be scattered and destroyed; but the true shepherd will not flee when the wolf comes; he will protect his flock and, if necessary, lay down his life for his sheep.&rdquo; [165:2.8]</em> </span></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">They abandoned the flocks to the wolves, worse - they protected the wolves and enabled them to sneak from flock to flock despoiling everywhere they went. The Master taught that &lsquo;by their fruits you would know them,&rdquo; when they abandoned the flocks they abandoned the gospel - one is the shadow of the other - they fled from the post they were supposed to defend and proved to onlookers that they were mere hirelings, not their true shepherds. Now the flocks wander, lost &ndash; in search of a shepherd in a world full of wolves.</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The litany of cruelty that occurred in my country at the hands of these men is appalling. The spiritual law that declares that you &lsquo;reap as you sow&rsquo; is surely taking effect now. The whole world knows that these people abandoned the gospel; that they sacrificed children to maintain their careers. Alas, it would have been better if they were willing to sacrifice their careers and maintain the gospel. They have fallen so tragically short, have been measured and found wanting. Can they find their way back into the good graces of the flocks again? </span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Behold! The Lord has opened a way. Right now they wolves are circling, endeavouring to enslave the whole world! The flock are looking earnestly for shepherds that will fight, even die for them and the gospel. Are any willing to lay down their lives to defend the flock? Are there shepherds that can lead people out of the deserts the wolves have prepared for them and into the green pastures that are the heritage of the children of God? Are any willing to highlight the hypocrisy and corruption of the leaders, as their master did? Are they willing to condemn the toxic ways, the toxic food, the toxic culture exalted by the corrupt and corrupting leaders and instead exalt the healthy, wholesome and life giving ways of the Lord?</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Until they do, they will no more find their way back into the good graces of the flocks again. They fed our children to wolves and refuse to accept responsibility. Consequently, they are finished in their current form. They must be willing to die so that they may be born again &ndash; in a new form! The princes of the Roman tradition know their days are numbered. Their own prophecies, one&rsquo;s that they accept as true, tell them that the &lsquo;Church&rsquo; is to be led into the desert, where she will be stripped of everything, in an effort to purge her of the false, unnecessary, and blinding, there to rediscover the source of her true riches. Behold, the hour has come.</span></p><p style="margin: 0 0 var(--size-20) 0; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">We, the children of the next revelation, should be studying hard to get ready for our call to service. As the door of one age closes the door for the next age swings open. The hour is striking for a spiritually famished people to re-discover the supernal life and teachings of the Master. The angels are preparing the world, whetting the appetite of truth-seekers and sharpening the talents and skills of truth teachers. Are you ready for the call?!</span></p><p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/strangepreacher/p/shepherds-wanted?r=17ovtn&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">SOURCE</span></a></p><p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>
