	<title><![CDATA[Spiritual Assault]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>Spiritual assault is spiritual force. Spiritual assault requires spiritual valor. It requires prayers and meditations. It also requires action! Spiritual assault involves desiring a certain Kingdom-oriented outcome with all of your heart; and putting all efforts or great efforts to get it. You focus your mind on it - use the power of your mind, your thoughts and prayers.<br />Spiritual assault involves spiritual warfare prayers. You pray with boldness and confidence and faith. You stand strong and declare and decree prophetically. With spiritual clarity, you speak things into existence in line with the divine will.<br />Spiritual assault involves exercising your divinely endowed powers and authority as a faith-liberated son or daughter of God. With spiritual assault, you make things happen, in partnership with divinity. You don't sit on the sidelines... You don't ‘chicken out’. You put up a good fight - a good fight of faith! Hallelujah!<br />“Jesus continued to teach the twenty-four, saying: “...The heathen strike directly for their objectives; you are guilty of too much chronic yearning. If you desire to enter the kingdom, why do you not take it by spiritual assault even as the heathen take a city they lay siege to? ...Cease your useless yearning and go forth bravely doing that which concerns the establishment of the kingdom.” - Urantia Book 155:1.3<br />You have to strike directly for your goals and objectives. Go for it forcefully in the power of the Holy Spirit. You have to be hungry to get it or achieve it.<br />“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12. The violent ones take it by force - by spiritual assault! Glory!<br />One has to be 'violent' against evil, sin, iniquity, hindrances, obstacles, evil machinations from Lucifer and his minions.... One also has to be 'violent' - forcefully determined to ascend the progressive steps of righteousness....<br />A simple way to understand spiritual assault is to take a close look at these words of Jesus in the Urantia Book quote [in UB155:1.3]: "The heathen strike directly for their objectives..." We have to learn to strike directly for our spiritual goals. When you spend time reading spiritual books with an objective to feed your soul; to grow spiritually; to equip yourself with wisdom, knowledge and understanding, you are engaging in spiritual assault! When you take out time to meditate and pray, with a desire to understand who you truly are and who God really is and your place and role in the Universe, you are engaging in spiritual assault! The other day, a brother talked about proactively doing gospel outreach work. That is a goal or an objective. If he decides to actually give it a go, to do something about it - practically, and to make efforts to sustain the momentum, that is spiritual assault!<br />You go for it; you enter the Kingdom; you seek to have a better understanding of the Kingdom (or the Father's Fold); you make direct efforts to help others to understand as well; you boldly acknowledge all your rights and privileges as a faith-liberated son or daughter of God; you walk in the reality of your divine heritage as a member of the family of God; you allow love to flow in your heart as you bask in the fellowship of believers; you sustain the momentum... You back it all up with loving prayers and meditations. That is spiritual assault. You, “Take the Kingdom by force” - without apologies; without fear or favor; with zeal, coupled with knowledge! ...Spiritual Assault!</p>

<p>Go in the strength of God’s love!</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Global Gospel Outreach through Facebook Boost]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>Beloved, are you interested in Gospel Outreach? Through Facebook Boost (advertising) you can present the gospel to people in cities around the world or in countries around the world. Words of truth, beauty and goodness in their undiluted form can be offered to hundreds, thousands or even millions of people. It all depends on the amount of money you spend. You may spend $5, $10, $25 or more each month.</p>

<p>First of all, you would have to create a Facebook Like Page. And post messages: texts, pictures and/or videos there. It’s all free. You may then pick a post and “boost” it. You initiate the boost by clicking on the “Boost” icon by the post. You have the opportunity to share that post with men and women, boys and girls in a particular city or cities around the world. Also, you may choose to share using the Country option. You can select one or more countries.</p>

<p>Just imagine the difference we can make in the lives of people all over the world by sharing teachings from the Urantia Book. You can make a commitment of spending $10 or $25 per month. You can even spend less or more. Each month, your message may reach 5,000, 20,000 or more people. In partnership with divinity, you can bring salvation, healing, deliverance and spiritual enlightenment to your fellow brothers and sisters globally. New Urantia Book readers would most definitely be generated.</p>

<p>Just imagine if 1,000 readers create Facebook Like Pages and each spend $10 a month, sharing the gospel of grace and truth, in its undiluted form as presented in the Urantia Book! Each month, we will be reaching millions of people, globally! There are thirsty and hungry souls, seeking, searching, waiting for people like you and I to help them get to know of the existence of the Urantia Book. Please, stop and think about this for a minute.</p>

<p>If you do not wish to create a “Like” page, may I suggest to you to consider giving money to those who do? A cash donation of $5, $10 or $20 per month would go a long way in bringing salvation, spiritual growth, peace and joy to many. Through Facebook Boost, organizations like “Stories of Jesus”, “The Urantia Book Fellowship”, “The Christ Michael Center”, etc are making a remarkable impact in the lives of individuals globally. Please, consider praying for them and giving financially to them. </p>

<p>Let us work together - sow seeds together. Let us allow Jesus to re-live his life through us today; to pass by our fellows, bringing gifts of love, healing, joy and spiritual power! Let us make this world a better place. 'Thank you! </p>

<p>#OneLove<br />#GospelOutreach</p>

<p>"The next evening, having gathered together the twelve apostles, the apostles of John, and the newly commissioned women's group, Jesus said: "You see for yourselves that the harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Let us all, therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest that he send forth still more laborers into his fields."" - Urantia Book Paper 150:4.1</p>

<p>"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Having a Sustainable Impact on, &quot;The World-Mind&quot;]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>Fellow Urantia Book readers, please let us strike directly at a very important objective: "What did Jesus do?" Where are the pastors, teachers and evangelists in our midst? Where are the ministers?<br />There has to be a better way of presenting the "undiluted" message of the gospel to the world - to people in villages, towns and cities. This would involve having a "structure" in place. This would involve "money". Some teachers would have to commit at least 40 hours per week to the work. 4 hours of "volunteer" work is not sufficient. This is what we see looking at Jesus and his apostles and evangelists as they embarked on a "Public Ministry" (not "Private Ministry").</p>

<p>This is not about forcing the entire Urantia Book down the throats of the masses. It's not about "rushing" to get millions of humans to change their entire mindset instantly. That's not the point. Rather, the point is having a sustainable impact on "the world-mind" with the simple, clear and undiluted gospel teachings as presented in the Urantia Book. Many souls will be saved, healed, delivered, spiritually enlightened, uplifted... Laborers are needed in the Master’s vineyard. More people, who can devote 40 or more hours weekly are needed to take the message of love, grace and truth to the ends of the Earth.</p>

<p>Machiventa Melchizedek did it with his students. He had a headquarters in Salem (that is "structure" or "organization", folks). The Salem headquarters needed "funding" constantly. Remember Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek? Jesus did a similar thing with his apostles, disciples, evangelists... They were funded as well. The Apostles couldn't work full time at a job or business. Their families had to be supported. Jesus and his inner circle had to be supported financially as well. Matthew was "the money getter". Believers gave cheerfully to Jesus' Public Ministry. Judas was the treasurer.</p>

<p>More light workers are needed to "GO!" - and preach the gospel of the kingdom and proclaim the saving truth that man is a son of God; to present the teachings of the kingdom in ways that can be easily understood by the common man. Jesus said "the harvest is plenteous". How do we look at this? Please, compare and contrast with the "slow growth" concept of the dissemination of the Fifth Ephocal Revelation.</p>

<p>Look at it this way: There may be "slow growth" with regards to people fully embracing the Fifth Ephocal Revelation and having a very good grasp of its many information. But when it comes to getting people to having a clear understanding of the "gospel message", the harvest is plenteous. We do not have to shelve the entire Urantia Book on people's laps. But we are called to work together in teams, to share the gospel message to the entire world's population.</p>

<p>So the question is, "Please, what is stopping us from having a sustainable impact on "the world-mind" with the simple, clear and undiluted gospel teachings as presented in the Urantia Book?" Let us strike directly for our objectives! Please, let's not make it look complicated. "Strike directly for your objectives!" </p>

<p>Peace be upon us!</p>

<p>“Jesus continued to teach the twenty-four, saying: “...The heathen strike directly for their objectives; you are guilty of too much chronic yearning. If you desire to enter the kingdom, why do you not take it by spiritual assault even as the heathen take a city they lay siege to? ...Cease your useless yearning and go forth bravely doing that which concerns the establishment of the kingdom.” - Urantia Book 155:1.3</p>

<p>“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12. The violent ones take it by force - by spiritual assault! Glory!</p>

	<title><![CDATA[&#039;Private Ministry&#039; vs. &#039;Public Ministry&#039;, a brief overview.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>We are all called into "private ministry". And it is important to note that NOT EVERYONE is called into "public ministry". If indeed you are among the few that are called into public ministry, you should know this, deep down, on your inside. Many times, it will cost you a lot more, to wholeheartedly commit to the call to public ministry. This is a key reason why a very strong and reliable support base is needed. (Of course the celestials support but you need human beings to support you.)</p>

<p>For His public ministry, Jesus had a strong support base - His inner circle of Apostles and Evangelists. He also had some disciples, well wishers, etc. There were people who gave him moral support and prayed for Him and made donations to assist the work.</p>

<p>Our work of presenting the message of the Kingdom (Gospel Message) and the Fifth Epochal Revelation would gain greater traction when many more readers understand and appreciate these things.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[The Kingdom of God]]></title>

There must come a revival of the actual teachings of Jesus, such a restatement as will undo the work of his early followers who went about to create a sociophilosophical system of belief regarding the fact of Michael&rsquo;s sojourn on earth. In a short time the teaching of this story about Jesus nearly supplanted the preaching of Jesus&rsquo; gospel of the kingdom. In this way a historical religion displaced that teaching in which Jesus had blended man&rsquo;s highest moral ideas and spiritual ideals with man&rsquo;s most sublime hope for the future &mdash; eternal life. And that was the gospel of the kingdom.&quot;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">[embed title=&quot;The One Duty - Later and Greater John The Baptist&quot; url=&quot;https://spiritualfamily.net/file/view/92708/the-one-duty-later-and-greater-john-the-baptist&quot; guid=&quot;92708&quot;]</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XPkjl0OQJ8g</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">http://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-170-kingdom-heaven </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">~ Brother Karo Kanye Akamune </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Learn More About The Christ Michael Center </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Homepage: http://www.christmichaelcenter.org </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">On SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/christ-michael-center/ </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Jesusonianism </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">On X: @JesusHub - https://x.com/jesushub </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristMichaelCenter</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">CMC Blog: http://cmcjesushub.blogspot.com</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Jesus&#039; Instruction for Teachers and Believers]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>Source: The Urantia Book, Part 4, "The Life and Teachings of Jesus", Paper 159, "The Decapolis Tour", Section 3: Instruction for Teachers and Believers http://www.urantiabook.org/newbook/papers/p159.htm#P159_3_0 <br />#OneLove</p>

<p>3. Instruction for Teachers and Believers<br />159:3.1 At Edrei, where Thomas and his associates labored, Jesus spent a day and a night and, in the course of the evening’s discussion, gave expression to the principles which should guide those who preach truth, and which should activate all who teach the gospel of the kingdom. Summarized and restated in modern phraseology, Jesus taught: <br />159:3.2 Always respect the personality of man. Never should a righteous cause be promoted by force; spiritual victories can be won only by spiritual power. This injunction against the employment of material influences refers to psychic force as well as to physical force. Overpowering arguments and mental superiority are not to be employed to coerce men and women into the kingdom. Man’s mind is not to be crushed by the mere weight of logic or overawed by shrewd eloquence. While emotion as a factor in human decisions cannot be wholly eliminated, it should not be directly appealed to in the teachings of those who would advance the cause of the kingdom. Make your appeals directly to the divine spirit that dwells within the minds of men. Do not appeal to fear, pity, or mere sentiment. In appealing to men, be fair; exercise self-control and exhibit due restraint; show proper respect for the personalities of your pupils. Remember that I have said: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock, and if any man will open, I will come in.” <br />159:3.3 In bringing men into the kingdom, do not lessen or destroy their self-respect. While overmuch self-respect may destroy proper humility and end in pride, conceit, and arrogance, the loss of self-respect often ends in paralysis of the will. It is the purpose of this gospel to restore self-respect to those who have lost it and to restrain it in those who have it. Make not the mistake of only condemning the wrongs in the lives of your pupils; remember also to accord generous recognition for the most praiseworthy things in their lives. Forget not that I will stop at nothing to restore self-respect to those who have lost it, and who really desire to regain it. <br />159:3.4 Take care that you do not wound the self-respect of timid and fearful souls. Do not indulge in sarcasm at the expense of my simple-minded brethren. Be not cynical with my fear-ridden children. Idleness is destructive of self-respect; therefore, admonish your brethren ever to keep busy at their chosen tasks, and put forth every effort to secure work for those who find themselves without employment. <br />159:3.5 Never be guilty of such unworthy tactics as endeavoring to frighten men and women into the kingdom. A loving father does not frighten his children into yielding obedience to his just requirements. <br />159:3.6 Sometime the children of the kingdom will realize that strong feelings of emotion are not equivalent to the leadings of the divine spirit. To be strongly and strangely impressed to do something or to go to a certain place, does not necessarily mean that such impulses are the leadings of the indwelling spirit. <br />159:3.7 Forewarn all believers regarding the fringe of conflict which must be traversed by all who pass from the life as it is lived in the flesh to the higher life as it is lived in the spirit. To those who live quite wholly within either realm, there is little conflict or confusion, but all are doomed to experience more or less uncertainty during the times of transition between the two levels of living. In entering the kingdom, you cannot escape its responsibilities or avoid its obligations, but remember: The gospel yoke is easy and the burden of truth is light. <br />159:3.8 The world is filled with hungry souls who famish in the very presence of the bread of life; men die searching for the very God who lives within them. Men seek for the treasures of the kingdom with yearning hearts and weary feet when they are all within the immediate grasp of living faith. Faith is to religion what sails are to a ship; it is an addition of power, not an added burden of life. There is but one struggle for those who enter the kingdom, and that is to fight the good fight of faith. The believer has only one battle, and that is against doubt — unbelief. <br />159:3.9 In preaching the gospel of the kingdom, you are simply teaching friendship with God. And this fellowship will appeal alike to men and women in that both will find that which most truly satisfies their characteristic longings and ideals. Tell my children that I am not only tender of their feelings and patient with their frailties, but that I am also ruthless with sin and intolerant of iniquity. I am indeed meek and humble in the presence of my Father, but I am equally and relentlessly inexorable where there is deliberate evil-doing and sinful rebellion against the will of my Father in heaven.<br />159:3.10 You shall not portray your teacher as a man of sorrows. Future generations shall know also the radiance of our joy, the buoyance of our good will, and the inspiration of our good humor. We proclaim a message of good news which is infectious in its transforming power. Our religion is throbbing with new life and new meanings. Those who accept this teaching are filled with joy and in their hearts are constrained to rejoice evermore. Increasing happiness is always the experience of all who are certain about God. <br />159:3.11 Teach all believers to avoid leaning upon the insecure props of false sympathy. You cannot develop strong characters out of the indulgence of self-pity; honestly endeavor to avoid the deceptive influence of mere fellowship in misery. Extend sympathy to the brave and courageous while you withhold overmuch pity from those cowardly souls who only halfheartedly stand up before the trials of living. Offer not consolation to those who lie down before their troubles without a struggle. Sympathize not with your fellows merely that they may sympathize with you in return. <br />159:3.12 When my children once become self-conscious of the assurance of the divine presence, such a faith will expand the mind, ennoble the soul, reinforce the personality, augment the happiness, deepen the spirit perception, and enhance the power to love and be loved. <br />159:3.13 Teach all believers that those who enter the kingdom are not thereby rendered immune to the accidents of time or to the ordinary catastrophes of nature. Believing the gospel will not prevent getting into trouble, but it will insure that you shall be unafraid when trouble does overtake you. If you dare to believe in me and wholeheartedly proceed to follow after me, you shall most certainly by so doing enter upon the sure pathway to trouble. I do not promise to deliver you from the waters of adversity, but I do promise to go with you through all of them. </p>

<p>159:3.14 And much more did Jesus teach this group of believers before they made ready for the night’s sleep. And they who heard these sayings treasured them in their hearts and did often recite them for the edification of the apostles and disciples who were not present when they were spoken</p>

&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;The persistent preaching of this gospel of the kingdom will some day bring to all nations a new and unbelievable liberation, intellectual freedom, and religious liberty. This statement holds the transformative power of the gospel, pointing to a future where all individuals are liberated&mdash;intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Let&rsquo;s go deeper into each aspect, exploring how these teachings relate to real-world scenarios that highlight the ongoing struggle for liberation.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 18px;">1. Persistent Preaching as a Catalyst for Change</strong></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The phrase &quot;persistent preaching&quot; points at the importance of unwavering dedication to spreading the gospel&#39;s message. In today&rsquo;s world, we often see this commitment mirrored in various social movements. For instance, consider the civil rights leaders inspired by spiritual convictions, such as Martin Luther King Jr. His relentless advocacy for equality stemmed from a deep faith and understanding of the gospel&#39;s principles. King&rsquo;s famous &quot;I Have a Dream&quot; speech encapsulated a vision of a society where individuals are judged not by their skin color but by their character.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Imagine a community coming together for a vigil, where speakers share not only their pain but also their aspirations for a world rooted in justice and equality. This gathering, reflecting the persistent preachings of love and unity, becomes a beacon of hope, inspiring future generations to continue the fight for fairness and dignity.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 18px;">2. Unbelievable Liberation</strong></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The idea of &quot;unbelievable liberation&quot; speaks to a radical transformation that can occur in societies once they embrace the gospel&rsquo;s teachings. Liberation is not just a political or social shift; it is an inner awakening that allows individuals to break free from fear, hatred, and prejudice.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Imagine a small village plagued by years of conflict, where people can&rsquo;t envision a peaceful future. A local leader, inspired by the gospel, begins to preach forgiveness and reconciliation. Over time, former enemies come together to share their stories, realizing that their humanity binds them more than their differences divide. This process of healing and liberation ignites change, leading to a thriving community that champions peace.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 18px;">3. Intellectual Freedom</strong></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Intellectual freedom is a cornerstone of progress. The gospel calls for an unshackling of the mind, inviting individuals to pursue knowledge and truth without restrictions. In our contemporary world, we often see this struggle, particularly in areas where censorship and propaganda dominate.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Consider students in a country where discussing certain topics can lead to severe consequences. These students, inspired by teachings of love and understanding, form underground study groups to explore ideas freely. They exchange books and debate philosophies, creating a safe haven for intellectual discourse. In this environment, minds open, and they begin to envision a society where truth reigns over misinformation.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 18px;">4. Religious Liberty</strong></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Lastly, the teaching on religious liberty embodies the essence of coexistence and respect for diversity. This gospel principle champions the right of individuals to practice their beliefs without fear of persecution or intolerance. In a world that often experiences religious strife, this teaching is more relevant than ever.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Picture a multi-religious festival in a town that celebrates various faiths. People from different backgrounds come together, sharing their traditions, music, and stories over food and laughter. Inspired by the gospel&#39;s call for unity, this event fosters understanding, breaking down barriers and creating friendships across religious lines. Through such openness, communities can thrive, grounded in the belief that diversity enriches society.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong style="font-size: 18px;">Conclusion</strong></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The quote from the Urantia Book serves as a powerful reminder of the gospel&rsquo;s potential to transform lives and societies. Through persistent PREACHING, we can inspire unbelievable LIBERATION, INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM, and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. These teachings urge me and you to be agents of change, embodying the principles of love, tolerance, and understanding.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">By sharing stories of hope and resilience, we can continue to advocate for a future where every individual enjoys the fullness of life, the liberation promised by the gospel. Each of us has a role to play in this journey, and every action taken towards justice and freedom brings us closer to realizing this vision for a united and compassionate world.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ayo&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" style="font-size: 18px;" width="99"></span></p>]]></description>
