Aka is here.
“Where is Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need. And we shall answer in this manner,
and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy
God; glory be the name of Thy children, forever and ever.
We shall tell unto thee the parable of the farmer who
came unto a strange land, and there he found two other farmers, each trying to
select the best land to grow crops and wheat of many types. There were three
parcels of land left. The first two chose the bottom land, the best land, they
thought.
The
third farmer took what was left. He worked the land and he moved the rocks. And
as he removed the rocks he built walls with them. And in building the walls he
built dikes, dikes that would hold the water in and dikes that would release
the water. And as each year went by his crops improved.
The two farmers from the lower lands could not understand
this. They had the best lands. Yet at times they were washed out, and other
times they had not enough rain, and other times too much. Yet
the farmer who farmed upon the hill in a terraced manner, his crops [were]
better year by year. So they went unto him, and they said, “When you
arrived here there was but the rocky land of the hill for you to farm upon. Yet
you did not complain? You went about the task of terracing the land, and now you
grow the best crops in all the land. How is this so?”
The farmer said unto them, “[Where] we do the best we
have with what we have. You in the bottom land have stripped your land of all
vegetation, and therefore, when it rains the water has nowhere to go. You have
not placed the dikes necessary to control the water, nor to contain it during the
dry periods.”
The other two
farmers looked upon this one, and said unto him, “But how do you know of all
this?”
And the farmer who farmed the rocky land said back unto
them, “For it is with the joy of God I farm. The harvest is always abundant
because I shall tithe with that which I have to tithe with. And the Lord, God,
knows this, and therefore, He has provided me with this wonderful piece of land,
which required much work, but greater yet, [our] faith, the
faith to know that God was with me always.”
You have many questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. A [13-452-1…Dripping Springs, Arizona] asks, ‘What is
the cause of my headaches, and what can be done to correct this problem?’”
Yes, we see thy need. First we should explain in this
manner. The inflammation of the nerve in itself is the direct cause of thy
headaches. A great deal of this inflammation is the lack of the blood supply in
these. To go without this system [re-staying? retains?] in pain substance. The
nerves in the back of the neck have become inflamed to the arthritic state, and
yet, the body keeps continuing to cry out, “Warning! Warning, for see, I am not
well! Repair me.”
These to the parts necessary to repair
the body is locked up within the birth. They allow the doors to be
opened; they allow us to enter, allow us to convey messages. Many shall think that
the answer we have just given you is not so. Whatever you give unto the Lord,
He shall give you tenfold, be it love, or money, or yourself.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. The Publications Department has a question, ‘Is the 11th
Commandment, ‘Give to yourself that which is yours?’”
Give unto all things that that belongs
in them to themselves. In that way, you shall be doing God’s work in all three.
You have other questions, ask.
“There is
another question from the Publications Department; ‘Is the three-part outline
for the “Ten Commandments” pamphlet suitable, or would you like the material
arranged in some other manner?’ The material arranged is, ‘Give unto God that
which is God’s,’ Commandments 1-4; ‘Give unto your brother that which is his,’
Commandments 5-10; and the 11th Commandment, which they have down here as, ‘Give
unto yourself that which is yours.’”
Yes, we see
thy need, and we would say, this is true.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. A [13-152-2…Tucson] asks, ‘Do I have a gift, and how
should I use it?’ She says, ‘God bless you.’”
(Chuckle.) For God
created man and woman, and He sent them forth to multiply and inhabit the Earth.
We
say unto thee, unto these words, awaken soul Ray from his slumber now.
