“Good evening, Aka.
Where is Ray?”
Soul
Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy
need. And we should answer in this manner -- for we should say unto thee the parable
of the gift of love.
As
the year did end and the flocking season of the sheep did come unto completeness,
each of the owners of a flock would take from their best of lambs, to take it
and donate it to the one who brought them healing and the words of God. And
they were called rabbis, or teachers.
And
the rabbi, in turn, always blessed each and every one. And he said, “Not
through I do I give these blessings, but from my Father. [From] the Lord, Jahveh
[JHVH], should come the blessings unto you all.”
Yet
there were some herdsmen who did it out of ritual. Some who did so with
resentment in their hearts.
And then one day
there came forth the one known to you as Jesus of
And the other rabbis did say, “Give them
blessings.”
And as one [who’d]
came forth, he knelt by the lamb and said to the herdsman, “Do you give the
lamb for blessings from God, or do you give the lamb expecting nothing?”
The
herdsman said, “I expect the blessings of God.”
Then
he said unto the herdsman, “Then take back your lamb, for the Lord has no need
of it.”
Another
stepped up. And he said again, “Do you give this lamb for love of God,
expecting nothing in return?”
And
the next one said, “Nay, I expect the blessings.”
And
still again he said, “Take back the lamb.”
As
the day went on, one small boy came forth. And Jesus said unto him, “This is
your whole herd. This is all you own, yet you have brought it forth. Then you
and you alone could not expect to have your flock mature and multiply if you
give it.”
And
the lad said unto him, “You are wrong, for my flock shall multiply.”
And
Jesus said, “How can that be so?”
And
the boy said unto him, “For the flock I speak of is the same flock that you
speak of when you speak of your Father’s mansions.”
And
Jesus did kneel and he did give blessings unto all, and he did hand the boy
back his lamb.
The
other rabbis were very angry with Jesus. And they said, “The lambs that they have
given offering could have been our food.”
And Jesus
said, “But they did not come as a true gift. For to give is to be as a child, and
if you should enter the
None could understand. And as Jesus left
this place of worship, he noticed the lad with his lamb was still there. And
the lad said, “I shall follow you.”
And
Jesus said unto him, “Then come, and tell me what you
should think of my sermon.” That sermon he gave that day was the Sermon on the
Mount. When it was finished he laid his hand forth to the lad and said, “Behold,
for your Father has returned your love.” And not only had the boy seen the true
value of love, which he had known in the beginning, but did all the others.
And
Jesus said, “Take thy flock and go unto thy father’s house.”
And
as the boy began to walk, the flock did multiply, and [went] till it covered
all the land that man could see.
The
next day all the herdsmen were back demanding that Jesus give unto them what he
had given unto a child.
Then
Jesus said unto them, “I have given unto you all things that belong to you. I
have given unto you all things that belong to my Father. You must give unto
yourselves all things that belong unto yourselves. I have given you the
blessings of my Father. Go and learn from the lad, and he shall teach you how
to multiply your herds.” And Jesus walked away.
Behind him were not only the angry
herdsmen, but many angry rabbis.
And the rabbis began to bargain with the
herdsmen, and they did make many false promises.
As Jesus walked away, his disciples did
walk beside him. And the disciples said unto Jesus, “What will become of these
false prophets?”
And
Jesus said unto them, “They have received in payment. And they shall give in
payment the same thing that they received. For behold,” he said.
And a
year did pass. And, the herdsmen were back again. And each had more sheep than
the last year.
And his disciples said, “Then they did
fulfill their agreement; they have
multiplied.”
Jesus
said, “Nay, not as the boy, for look yonder.” And there came the boy, and he
was bringing back more sheep than he had taken away.
Jesus
said, “For once again he is giving with true love. The priests, or rabbis, did
not give of love from their hearts. The blessings they gave from God did not
come from God; they did not come from their hearts. They came from their wants,
their needs, their thoughts. The blessings that the herdsmen received, it was
that that they wanted to hear. And because their herds did multiply normally,
in a normal fashion as nature intended, they think their promise has been
fulfilled. If you can give a gift, the greatest gift of all is love, in such a
manner that you expect nothing in return. But if you give expecting a multitude
in return, then you shall never receive, in truth, because you are not capable
of receiving.”
We
see thy need, and we shall answer in this manner. There are many types of
healing, and for those who should grieve, remember our Father has many
mansions.
Glory be the
name of God. Glory be the name of His children.
Soul
Ray now tires. And therefore, your session shall be short.
You have the key now to the answer. Look
farther into the meaning of seven, seven, seven [777]. It lays
at your feet.
Awaken
soul Ray from his slumber.
