from Jesus:
I was quite confident that
they all had the ability to open themselves to be instruments of the
Holy Spirit. I was also quite confident that they were not attached
to a particular outer doctrine or interpretation, and therefore they
would not seek to impose that doctrine upon the flow of the Holy Spirit.
In other words, I trained my disciples to allow the Holy Spirit to blow
where it listeth without seeking to force that Holy Spirit into conforming
to or confirming their existing beliefs, doctrines and interpretations.
This then is the first requirement for becoming the instrument of the
Holy Spirit, namely a willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to express
itself as it wants to do in that particular situation and to that particular
audience. This is what many Christians, who claim to have the Holy Spirit,
fail to do, as explained elsewhere.
I taught my disciples to become instruments of the Holy Spirit by putting
them through a very concentrated course of systematically breaking down
their rigid beliefs. This was quite a crash course. Yet you must understand
that my disciples had been around me personally, and as stated in the
Bible, I did expound all things to them when we were alone together.
They had also seen me perform a number of miracles. As a result of this,
they had been effectively shaken out of their normal beliefs. I had
also taught them about the need for spiritual
protection, as explained on this website.
You do not need to have the full Christhood to convey the Living Word.
It is something that many people can learn to do quite effectively.
However, at this point in time I do not desire to release a systematic
procedure for learning how to convey the Living Word. This may change
in the future, as time allows.
For now, I encourage people to diligently follow the path of personal
Christhood, as described on this website, and especially in the book
The Christ Is Born in You. Use the tools for spiritual protection,
use the Violet Flame to transmute all imperfect energies and give the
Christhood affirmations from the book. Use the technique for inner
attunement to build a greater contact with your Christ self. Study
my teachings and show yourself approved unto God by being willing to
look beyond your existing beliefs to discover the living truth of God.
As you diligently follow this path, you will begin to feel that when
you talk to other people, you can express the Living Word. It is important
not to have a sense of idolatry concerning the expression of the Living
Word. Many people already have the ability to be instruments of the
Living Word in their conversations with others. Being an instrument
of the Living Word does not mean that you have to stand on a platform
in front of thousands of people and give a perfect discourse from a
spiritual being. You can very well deliver the Living Word in an everyday
conversation by giving another human being a particular insight, which
that soul needs in order to rise to a higher level on the spiritual
path.
Although the Living Word is an expression of the Holy Spirit, that Holy
Spirit can only flow through your Christ self. So to open yourself to
the Holy Spirit, you must establish the best possible attunement with
your Christ self. You might envision your Christ self as a point of
stillness, a point a peace, within your heart. When you speak to another,
you can learn to tune your consciousness to that point of stillness,
and you can then begin to feel that you receive inspiration and words
directly from your Christ self. The words are flowing through your heart
instead of through the analytical mind or the emotions.
So what I am saying here is that I encourage you to focus your attention
on walking the path of personal Christhood and establishing inner attunement
with your Christ self. Then allow the Living Word to spontaneously flow
through you and do not seek to force it. The Living Word is precisely
that, the Living Word, and it is living because it cannot be forced
into a rigid or set matrix. Many people have attempted to force the
Living Word, and in so doing they have opened themselves to lower, or
psychic, forces. I talk about this elsewhere.
If you diligently use spiritual protection, and at the same time do
not attempt to force the Living Word, you can protect yourself from
such forces. However, it is important to know that they exist and to
take proper precautions.
Finally, let me say that is important to overcome all sense of perfectionism
concerning the Living Word. Some people adopt the attitude that being
the instrument of the Living Word is high and Holy calling, and therefore
they must be perfect before they can do so. They often begin to think
that their way of delivering the Living Word must live up to some outer
standard. Once again, this will impose a restriction that will impede
the flow of the Living Word. To become an instrument, you must be willing
to express that Living Word even if you cannot yet do so perfectly according
to some worldly standard.
God does not abide
by the standards created by the world. God abides by a divine standard,
which is often quite different from the standards created by Human beings.
If you are concerned about being acceptable to human beings, you will
find it difficult to let the Holy Spirit flow. You must be willing to
lose all preconceived opinions to become a clear instrument for the
Living Word. In some cases you must even be willing to be a fool for
Christ, or at least to let ignorant people think you are a fool.
Do you see the subtle distinction here? The all-important aspect of
being the instrument for the Living Word is to let it flow spontaneously
through you. And you should not seek to force it to flow according to
a particular outer standard. That is why I say to focus your attention
on the spiritual path and on attaining attunement with your Christ self.
Then, the Living word will spontaneously start flowing through you.
As it does, simply allowed to flow without seeking to force it in any
way.
As this process moves on, you will begin to experience a stronger and
clearer flow of the Living Word through you. Simply allow this to happen
in its own good time, and before you know it, you will be a skilled
mouthpiece for the Living Word. Seek first the kingdom of God - meaning
the Christ consciousness - and all things shall be added unto you.
