Aka is here.

“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul 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 His people forever and ever.

And we say unto you unto these words, unto this parable.

For in the desert there was a spring, an artesian spring, and it produced a small amount of water. [And] a few of the animals came to water there.

One day, a man came. And he looked upon the land and he said, “This is where I shall live. That I should live here, so should all of the other animals, and people, live in harmony. And so, he dug a well. And the well became as the small spring, and good, sweet artesian well. And he allowed the water to form a small pond. And as [other] people came they took from the well, but he laid that land aside that all the other creatures could come and drink from it and take from it. And soon, all the creatures, both those of the predator and non‑predator, came. For this was a peaceful land. This was land where no life was taken.

One day, the man thought to himself, “I must give something to this land that the rest of the land does not have, for this is a special place before my Lord.”

And so he ventured forth into the mountain city. And there he saw a plant he had never seen before. It grew and it produced beautiful flowers. And he went forth to the flower and he found it had sharp thorns. And he thought to himself, “This flower can grow in my land, for no one shall take it, for the thorns shall protect it as the other vegetation in my land has thorns.”

And so, he bought these and with them he bought grapes and apple[s] and all sorts of fruit[s] and vegetable[s]. And he brought them forth and planted them in the land. And he planted the flowers, the roses, and they grew into a most beautiful plant.

And soon, many people from many lands came to see this miracle that grew in the desert and to see this great plant. And some would come and ask that they might get a sapling from it.

And each year [were ten planted from the] same plant, and each year he gave freely without a charge for those who would ask.

But one came and looked upon this plant and said, “I must have it, this plant; I must own it.” And all of these people who travel so far shall pay me to see it.

And so he went forth and tried to buy the plant and buy the land and the well.

The man said, “No, for I have not this to sell.”

So the man went where the records were kept, and he found fault in the way the man had purchased the land. And he drove the man from the land, and he fenced all of the land. And each day, the well stopped running a little more and the plants began to die. For the animals had stopped coming, for they could not get in. And even the bees who pollinated the land could not get in.

The man who’d been greedy and selfish had brought his family with him. And a child went out to the plant and was saddened to see that which had happened. And the child spoke to the plant, as most children will, and spoke with the mind and heart of a child in truth.

And the plant spoke back to the child, for the child had asked the plant why it was dying. And the plant told the child, for it to grow it must be free. It must receive the sunshine that had been blocked by the huge wall. It must have the birds and the bees and all the other plants and animals for company.

And the child went back to its father and pleaded with him, and said, “Father, do not let this happen.” And soon, the rest of the family had joined in with the child.

At first, the father’s heart was hardened, for he was greedy. Then he walked with the child and saw what he had done. He tore down the fences. And he found the man he had stolen the land from and said, “Can you forgive me for what I have done to you, what my greed has done?”

The man looked upon this one and said, “If the plants and the animals can forgive you, surely I can.”

And we say into you, unto the worst of times, can not you forgive? Can you not have the faith in the Lord, thy God, into His wisdom?

You have many questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka, thank you. We have a question from [M____ P____]. She would like to know if the building that she has now is safe?”

We see your need. We shall say unto you, no place is safe in truth. Put your heart and your faith forth, and if it is strong enough, then so shall the building that you have.

But we say unto you, “Give unto the Lord, thy God, that that belongs to the Lord, thy God. And give unto Caesar that that belongs to Caesar.”
