P Jammer, it takes courage to speak to this post because I could be wrong with my assessment but understand that my intention is good to the utmost as everyone’s who have spoken. I feel resentment from your side derived from the fact that you have not responded to this post, because I have been trough some similar situation in the past that I can speak to now. Thus, I want to come for the rescue even if there is a possibility of not being appreciated, for it is not about me but your self promotion for great advancement. Michael of Nebadon laid out some unchangeable principles by saying, “if you give up now you are indeed lostâ€. He may need to shake us strong enough to let go things that does not belong, which I learned through self inflicted shaking that made me take a very serious look at where I am and where I belong to recognize my wrong, which I would not do otherwise. Likewise, only you can hold you back.
So, please accommodate the words of this message from our celestial family by reading it more then once, for in spite of its harsh first appearance delivers much love and care with a positive import. I feel for you because I have received messages in the past from Ron and transmissions through him that were addressing my personal situations as I sought for it, but then his response stuck with me for the few words that I took for an offence, and now wish that I would have took the time to read it again and again until I could walk away with its constrictive criticism and advise for my benefit, but I didn’t. Sliding over it by getting offended caused me much tribulation in the future and by all means I could avoid it if I just listened better. He is our leader in all situations and we better not pick and choose. I see it now after many years as by chance landed on his message from 2017, if there is such as chance. Never easy to go through the bumps on the road but we must if want to get ahead.
Resentment is a form of self-worth assessment that would tell us we are better than the way we were addressed or evaluated, a hidden form of pride of the ego not in the sickening meaning, but in view of total surrender to the Divine no matter what. We say, we are being just a vessel in Father’s hand for his use, right? But are we? A vessel has no opinion or say so by any means, and this expression by Apostle Paul had me meditate more then once when I had to understand the same. Thanks to Apostle Paul who left so much spiritual food for us to chew on. His spiritual son Timothy explained, a vessel can be used for honor or dishonor, and it is true, but we are not used for dishonor at all. Yet if we understand the concept we should not get offended in any event. Father purifies us to be used for honor. This is what is happening. Now, this use of a vessel is not just a parable but much of a reality as it was in Jesus’ case who had to suffer all his adult life on earth, or even as a young 14 years old burdened with caring for his extended family after the painful death of his father and the injustice of how his workman compensation was mishandled. Then going homeless dragging 12 men with him be hungry at times, exhausted, rejected, chased, and finally tortured and killed, and what we had to go through in comparison is not worthy to mention and yet we are feeling offended?
Even true for Paul as he poured out to the Corinthians all what he had to go through. I did not mean to quote all of it here, but could not cut away a word when I read it (16 (http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/11-16.htm)I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast. You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face. To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!
Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I. Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying. In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me. But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.)
What would we do P Jammer in similar situations? Or look at prophet Jeremiah who suffered lifelong rejection from his fellow man based on the messages he has received for them to follow, and was beaten and imprisoned and his teeth ruined in the sand, just horrible life experiences he had.
The speakers gave you and us as well the spiritual image of ours that our ego will reject while squeaking and squealing for sure. So, I hope this helps and I hope that you can identify with my words and intention to cheer you up in case of any resentment has taken hold of you. Truth is, we need to let go talking about the Urantia book like it or not, but did not do as much as we could when it was still good. Yet we are blessed for having such a strong foundation as this filth epochal revelation was and being part of this forum. As we were told soon we will have the new revelation of the sixth that I believe we are going to teach for long if we chose. But before we are facing major changes.
And let us all recall Archangel Michael’s phenomenal words when the changes hit Urantia: “ .. the truth does not set you free as most of your resent the fact you cannot experience the matter of change more directly.â€
It is coming and all head knowledge will have to give way to genuine Love of God towards the sufferers, which will be the true unifying power and divider between darkness and light. I believe we will no longer have to deal with indecision, resentment, separation at all. Just make it simply loving. I spent years in ministry to the needy and so often met young people who were nearly dysfunctional being mentally ill from the pressures of unjust society and family problems, thus reaching for drugs to find some solace and false companionship to escape loneliness and pangs of rejection and being unloved, but inside in their hearts I have discovered the true pearl of a great price as Jesus said, the Love of God so strong that no one will be able to withstand that when the time comes and the door swings wipe open to express true self in God. So be it for all of us. Be encouraged.
