The will of God does not uniformly prevail in the heart of the God-seeking material mortal, but if the time frame is enlarged beyond the moment to embrace the whole of the first life, then does God’s will become increasingly discernible in the spirit fruits which are borne in the lives of the spirit-led children of God.

12:7.7

…In the physical universe we may see the divine beauty, in the intellectual world we may discern eternal truth, but the goodness of God is found only in the spiritual world of personal religious experience…. (40.5) 2:6.1

“…Says the Lord: `I dwell within their own souls as a lamp of wisdom. I am the splendor of the splendid and the goodness of the good. Where two or three gather together, there am I also….'” (1448.2) 131:4.3

THE URANTIA BOOK

...Just as a butterfly emerges from the caterpillar stage, so will the true personalities of human beings emerge on the mansion worlds, for the first time revealed apart from their onetime enshroudment in the material flesh. The morontia career in the local universe has to do with the continued elevation of the personality mechanism from the beginning morontia level of soul existence up to the final morontia level of progressive spirituality.... 112:6:1 (1235.5)

THE URANTIA BOOK

...Only a poet can discern poetry in the commonplace prose of routine existence.

The high mission of any art is, by its illusions, to foreshadow a higher universe reality, to crystallize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity.... 48:7.22-23 (557.6)

The New Apostles' Creed of the 21st Century

As a Newly Faithful Apostle of the World...

I believe in the One Indescribable God, the Father and Mother Almighty of all lives who is of
Infinite Goodness, all Truth-giving creator, controller, upholder and preserver of heaven and
earth, in Christ Jesus Michael, the Father Son of our Universe of Nebadon who is the Vine of Life.

I believe that we are each his branches meant to bring forth the fruit of Life Everlasting.

I believe in the Father Son personified as Christ Jesus Michael who stands together with the
Infinite Creative Mother Spirit, who is the universe expression of the Infinite Spirit.

I believe in her Holy Spirit Presence to exalt my mortal mind into its eternal encircuitment with the Mind of God.

I believe in living in Holy Communion with the Father’s Spirit Life in me, and one day to enter
into eternal union, and in cooperative communion with those Divine Personalities who serve the
evolutions of the earth.

I believe in the forgiveness of sins through my personal authorship and acceptance of my creative nature, I believe in the Authority of God by acknowledging, adoring, and the full acceptance of the Spirit Life of God the Father living in me as my all-powerful authority, and...

I believe in the progressive transfiguration of my mortality through embracing
eternity each day, and in the resurrection ideal for my body, mind, emotions, and total persona
in the fulfilling achievement of the eternity embrace.

I believe in becoming born anew through the power of God the Father’s Indwelling Life, and his all-ennobling love, that I am entering the Kingdom of Heaven by the powers of holy faith, and by my wholehearted commitment to achieve the Will of God the Father.

I believe that unless I am born of the water of a new mind and the spirit life of a new creature, that I cannot see the kingdom of God, and I believe that which is born of the flesh remains of the ephemerality of flesh, and that which is born of spirit identification and loyalty is transformed in the eternity of spirit, I believe in the redemptive power of love, and in my personal soul vesture growing daily from out of my own mortality, and it’s righteousness, and in my progressive evolutionary attainment of life everlasting.

Loving Freewill Service ~

Jesus -- "The essence of his teaching was love and service..."

92:4.8 4. Urantia Book
Jesus of Nazareth. Christ Michael presented for the fourth time to Urantia the concept of God as the Universal Father, and this teaching has generally persisted ever since. The essence of his teaching was love and service, the loving worship which a creature son voluntarily gives in recognition of, and response to, the loving ministry of God his Father; the freewill service which such creature sons bestow upon their brethren in the joyous realization that in this service they are likewise serving God the Father. (Brothers and sisters am Barnabas from Western Uganda I would like to tell you that I am going back to school on Monday so pray for me and so help ...)

The affairs of this world and other worlds are divinely supervised. “He does according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.” It is eternally true, “there is no power but of God.”
3:2.1
Barnabas from Western Uganda and I'm going back to school on Monday so I need yours prayers.
