…Are you now a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ?

On Christmas day, I got this message from a childhood friend of mine:

Q: Hi … trust that you and your family are fine. Compliments of the season. I noticed that recently you've been posting a lot of bible passages on Facebook. I used to think that you are of the grail message. Do you guys also quote scriptures? Or are you now a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. No offence intended my brother. Just being inquisitive. God bless you.

Here is my answer:

A: Hello ... Thanks for checking on me. We are fine and I trust you had a very beautiful Christmas as well. Adhering to the Grail Message does not preclude one from reading, following or sharing the Scriptures with loved ones! The Grail Message indeed makes the Scriptures clearer. It is a key as it were to unlocking the rich abundance of the spiritual teachings of the Bible. Without this key, the Bible remains a book with seven seals! I remain a firm believer in the Son of God our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. A reader and adherent of the Grail Message is faithfully led from his believe in Jesus to victorious conviction of the Truth of the Word of Life brought by the Son of God. On this point, I will like to share with you a quote from the Author of the Grail Message: "With my words I lead to God and also to Jesus! However, in a more vital way than has been known in the past, and not as people have trimmed it through their propensity for spiritual comfort! I point to the fact that God wishes to have spirits in Creation who are alive and conscious of their personal responsibility, such as lies in the Primordial Laws of Creation! That everyone must personally and fully account for everything he thinks, speaks and does, and that this could not be effaced for mankind by the murder of the Son of God at that time!”

Many thanks again and God bless you and all yours.

LIVING NATURALLY!

You work solely with your frontal brain and you think you are normal? You are not! Very limited is the capacity of the frontal brain. It can only deduce from what it can observe with the five senses! Very useful as an instrument, yet it needs to be guided by our inner core, the spirit. How?

The spirit works through the back brain (intuitive brain) which like an antenna receives spiritual impressions. These spiritual impressions are to be passed on to the frontal brain for use or outward implementation. The essence of the spirit being love, nothing evil can emanate from the process. On the other hand, the frontal brain is to pass on what it experiences from the outside to the back brain so that it can be used for the growth and maturing of the spirit. Thus the two brains are meant to work together harmoniously.

Presently this is not the case. Man today relies mainly on the frontal brain and that is why it can be said that the man of today is not normal. By leaving everything to the frontal brain which only understands what is earthly, man too is bound to consider only material things as paramount! Even when he hears spiritual guidance or teaching, he will remodel it and drag it down to dust!

Let us be more spiritual therefore by ensuring that all we think, say or do align with the Laws of God. This will make us think in a more far reaching and comprehensive way. We will then be living as we should. Life can then really be enjoyed without the eccentricities common today.

Christmas 2015

It is Christmas time! I am very grateful that The Almighty mercifully sent us the Savior Jesus Christ to give us the Message that leads to the redemption of sins and to everlasting life.

It is also a good time to reflect: The Son of God was born and it so happened that there was not a place available for the earthly birth except a stable! It also happened that one of  the first earthly rulers that got wind of the birth promptly ordered the killing of new born babies with the aim of destroying the Envoy from on High! Even the wise ones who were carefully and faithfully led to the stable in Bethlehem only gave their gifts and left the Messenger of Truth unprotected. Little did they know that they were to do much more than presenting the symbolic gifts.

How do we stand today in relation to the Message of Christ? Is there a place in our hearts to receive and retain His Word? Let us not let His Word remain in a stable or in a glass shrine but we should let His Word be in our hearts to guide and lead us. Are we among those who still see the eventual killing of Jesus as the work of redemption? Let us leave the side of the Herods of this world and start to the see only the Word of the Lord and living it as salvation. Are we among those who think that once we give and continue to give in money and in kind to our church we have secured a place in Heaven? Let us realise that the so called wise men acted like this 2000 years ago and missed their real mission of using their earthly position and power to protect and serve the Light Envoy! Having had the privilege of having the Word we have the duty to live by It.

At this very solemn celebration of the Holy Night may the Lord grant us the strength finally to pull ourselves together for permanent improvement. May we henceforth humbly strive to throw off all former stubbornness, and joyfully greet the Word of Truth from the Light as redemption!

WHY DOES MANKIND STILL FAIL?

Yes indeed this world is a school for mankind. A school where we learn the Will of the Maker of the school Who is also our Maker- the Almighty Father.

However, mankind lost it long ago! The goal of getting to know and do the Will of our Maker was neglected and instead we have spent all the time in chasing earthly goods, its pleasures, riches and fame.

All the admonitions of Prophets of old did not help. Our craze for material things was so much that even such sacred advise of helpers was misinterpreted to conform with our base desires, our vanity and our conceit. We became slaves to earthly desires and Messages from on High we simply fail to understand.

Even the Message of the Son of God.has up till now been misunderstood. Today, "exponents" of the Teachings of Christ have reduced it to a business that offers the followers all the comforts of this world, position and deliverance from enemies real and imagined! It is all about how we fare on earth. The Kingdom of Heaven is no longer the priority but the perks of earthly life form the basis of belief.

All of this leads man far and far away from the goal (to understand the Will of the Lord and to live by it). Achieving this would have been a blessing for man and lead him back to Paradise where he came from in the first place.

Our neglect of this noble goal and stubbornest has led us thus far and today there is failure everywhere. Instead of peace there is war all over, small and big; from full scale war to pockets of serial bombings. Instead of love, there is hatred and envy all over. Religions have turned to a system that promotes the acquisition of fame and fortune.Distrust abounds everywhere. Deceitful politicians take charge of affairs and common criminals take over the leadership of entire countries!

This failure is caused by the reliance of man on his brain which can only understand things of this earth since it is a part of the human flesh and can do no more than analyse earthly things. The brain cannot understand spiritual matters. At best it will drag it down to dust and make it serve the needs of the flesh. That is why even today mankind still fails.

THE WAY OUT:

The only way is to turn back and seek to understand the Will of the Almighty and live accordingly. How do we start? Let's have a strong decision to do only what is good, in thought, word and deed, pray to God for help and remain steadfast in all of these.If we live this way, miracles upon miracles will happen in our lives, we will become sound in body and soul and we will be really happy!

How does one awaken spiritually and remain awake?

Just as we sleep and wake up from slumber physically, there is another type of sleep and awakening! These ones concern our spirit, the inner core of man.

In accordance with the Almighty’s ordinance, the human spirit should direct all of man’s activities while the body is to act as a tool to carry out the inner yearnings of the spirit. However, since olden times man rebelled against God, relying more on the tool, by working solely with his brain a part of his body which produces the intellect! Placing the intellect above the spirit is the great fall of man that gave birth to all the evils of this world from self indulgence to acquisitiveness, murders, gross sensuality and all manners of oppressive conduct. As slaves of the intellect man became blind and thinks that only material things are of value.

Working with the brain alone meant that the spirit is left to be inactive; it sleeps. This sleep drains all spiritual power and the afflicted one loses all sense of beauty and inner integrity. This state of spiritual slumber is however not easily noticeable because the slumbering spirit may be a brilliant scholar, a wealthy businessman or a very brainy beauty queen.

Nevertheless, as a help to awaken us spiritually, we are constantly inundated with sadness and joy. The tenderness experienced during the periods of deep sorrow or joy momentarily puts earthly trifles at bay. If we also recall the times of our childhood; our so called age of innocence, we cannot but feel some tenderness. We can seize on these tender moments which are actually the right soil for spiritual awakening.

Furthermore, we can positively bring about our spiritual awakening even here and now by making a firm resolution to henceforth do only that which is good, pure, true and noble. We should look around us and see how the Laws of God operate and learn thereby. We will notice that good seeds yield good fruits, like attracts like and what is heavy sinks and what is light floats! We can align with these Laws for example by sowing good seeds through our thoughts, words and deeds.

To remain spiritually awake, we need to learn how to use the power of silence, listen to our inner voice, and the voice of our helpers which includes our conscience. We need to continually strive to free ourselves from base feelings, in the recognition that the hour approaches when the period allotted for this will expire!

For a start, let us keep our thoughts pure. Our persistence in this will bring us nothing but inner peace and genuine happiness!

Is reincarnation really true?

Reincarnation is a fact of life and existence! Our forbears are aware of this and the simple evidence of this is reflected in some of the names given to their children. Hence we have names in Africa suggesting that the new born child is a mother or father who has returned for another life on earth.

Furthermore, reincarnation can be considered the explanation of the often mentioned déjà vu experiences where a person feels that an event, place or experience currently being experienced for the first time has been experienced before. For example a person who during this earth life is visiting a city for the first time may sense deeply that he has been there once upon a time! Some of these déjà vu experiences which science doubts today might actually be genuine recall of experiences by many a soul from past earth lives.

Consider: if man were to live on earth only once then the Law of Justice will also demand that everything must be accounted for in that one earth life. Those who have been righteous and were badly treated by their neighbours would have to receive adequate compensation before they die. All injustices will have to be corrected and all good deeds repaid fully in one earth life.

The truth is that man actually needs more than one earth life to attain to the maturity required to return back to the Eternal Gardens of God. Even if we do not remember our past earth lives, this does not prove that reincarnation is not real. We are mercifully permitted to experience each earth life without being weighted down by a graphic remembrance of the heavy and dark baggage most of us come to a new life with.

Each earth life is a time of mercy granted to us to make good the past and add to our maturity.May we use these times in a manner that they bring us spiritual benefits and maturity!
