I am a strounch Christian from Muyama Church Mafubira. I am a total orphan who was picked from street by the Late Pastor Kato Richard who was the owner of the above mentioned church. The late Pr. Kato Richard had started to cater for orphans who were on street. He used to feed us, educate us and also look after widows. He used to help us in our dialy life. Unfortunately after a short period of time Pastor Kato got an accident and died. It was really a very had time especially on our side because we thought life has ended since Pr. Kato was our everything by that time. Among the orphans who were staying with the late i was the eldest person among them i thought of leaving them but they had no where to go. The situation started to worsen more because i started to look for food to feed, medication and other necessities. We were 45 children but because of the bad conditions we were living in 3 children died and were remained 42 children. I felt touched and thought that if I also leave these children and I go they will remain with no one to help them. I decided to live with them and I also promised God not to leave them and I just asked for his protection care . Since I acquired education i became a translator in the church and i could translate the bible from English to our local language and this acts as my occupation because am paid for it. 180,000/_ug shs very month. It is this money that I use for medication, paraffin, and sugar but it is insufficient to care for us all the 42 and the widows. The promise I made with God not to leave these children made me to stay and cater for these children. The situation was not all that good but we could pray to Jesus everyday. Life moved on like that, I was on Facebook that&#39;s when I found you who have indeed uphold, rendered assistance and also advised me.</p><p>Right now the challenges we face are, We luck beds, blankets and mattresses for the children apart from Summary whom you bought for but the rest sleep on mats. Another challenge we have is the weekly paraffin we have to buy because we cannot afford electricity. We also face a challenge of buying pads for the widows because per now they cannot work. We bought uniforms for the children but still they have few clothes and they luck shoes and sandals. Another great challenge we face is that of the school dues for the children.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p><p><span style="color: #B22222;">Please follow the links below to learn more or to make a donation to this cause.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(75, 0, 130);"><span style="font-size: 28px;">Mafubira Youth Development Association</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: 28px;">Director Wandira Ramathan</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(75, 0, 130);"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 28px;" width="560"></span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(75, 0, 130);"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7959/master/" style="font-size: 28px;" width="400"></span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(75, 0, 130);"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/wandira.ramathan" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="120" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7962/master/" style="font-size: 28px;" width="120"></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/campaigns/view/8020/about/mafubira-youth-development-association-annual-fundraiser" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="186" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/6661/master/" style="font-size: 28px;" width="180"></a></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(75, 0, 130);"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" style="font-size: 28px;" width="1000"></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

These are &ldquo;The Religious Crisis of the 1960s&rdquo; by Hugh McLeod, and &ldquo;The Origins, Nature, and Significance of the Jesus Movement&rdquo; by Kevin John Smith.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Both books focus on religious and cultural transformations taking place in America, Europe, and Australia between 1957 and the late 1970s.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">This was a period of time during which millions of people turned out to hear Billy Graham preach. The Second Vatican Council was held in Rome between 1962 and 1965 as church leadership struggled to find ways of adapting teaching and practice to be more relevant. Major academic efforts were under way to try and discover Jesus separate from the dogma and tradition which had grown up around him. The greatest expansion in higher education in American history took place during this time. The sexual revolution, new theological explorations, political radicalization in the anti-war movement, social radicalization in the civil rights movement, and a changing economic climate all contributed to a period of profound social change.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">The experimentation with and embrace of eastern religions was an unprecedented event in American religious history which, combined with growing religious pluralism, contributed to the beginning of the decline of the church as an important social institution. Religious activism on college campuses was at an all-time high in the late 1950s and by the 1960s Campus Crusade for Christ was a major player in universities across America.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Religious books as a proportion of all books sold peaked in 1958.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">The theological writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Francis Schaeffer&rsquo;s work at the L&rsquo;Abri community in Switzerland attempted to bring fresh intellectual insights and contexts to Christianity. From June 12 to June 17, 1972 more than 100,000 high school and college students gathered together in Dallas at Explo &#39;72 where Campus Crusade offered a training program in personal evangelism for young people.&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">The Jesus movement subsequently developed into an influential undertaking which, along with the rapid growth of charismatic Protestantism, changed approaches to worship, teaching, and belief across the board in both Protestant and Catholic churches as well as spreading a revitalized Christian message into Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

In the process an unprecedented opportunity to bring a saving revelation to the world was lost; a world which was fully mobilized (and probably prepared by the seraphim) to seek new religious and spiritual insights.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Competent, experienced leaders with financial means and wide-spread connections in media, anxious to get the revelation out to the world such as Clyde Bedell, Harold Sherman, and Sek Seklemian were marginalized and ostracized. Even Dr. Sadler was reprimanded and restrained in his efforts to make the revelation relevant to Christianity. Mediocrity came to dominate. And a reluctance to fully engage the world still remains today in the administrative hideaways of Urantia institutions. Future generations will not look kindly on the &#39;leadership&#39; of the early years of this revelation, its hagiographic preoccupation with the forum and the contact commissioners, and the lost opportunities of a lifetime.</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">Inform yourself by spending some time with Smith and McLeod and become more familiar with the sociological and cultural aspects of our undertaking--especially if you&#39;re a young reader envisioning a lifetime of serving the revelation.

We appreciate all the good Samaritans who have been always there with us and through supporting our different programs.&nbsp;</p><p><br />
At the moment we are searching for any good citizen who can create for us a Youcaring or a GofundMe page to help us raise funds for land to help us carryout farming, and construction of our permanent home and school as well. It&#39;s a great idea that we have discussed on with staff and the community as well.&nbsp;</p><p>The Good things in this are as below:</p><ol><li>It will help us save funds that we pay for rent.</li>
	<li>It will help us grow our own food without buying from stores.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>It will help&nbsp;others in the&nbsp;community as poor children will have quality education from the School of Samaritan Foundation Orphanage that we shall construct with your support friends.</li>
</ol><p>The good things from this project shall be many my dear ones otherwise anyone with the idea of creating for us a GofundMe page or Youcaring please we welcome you so much.&nbsp;</p><p>Help us to raise voices of the poor and deliver quality services to the needy, widow and abandoned, AIDs orphans.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px;

These are basic necessities! Healthcare is not a discretionary expense it is a basic necessity that often gets sacrificed when limited funds must be applied for basic needs.&nbsp;</p><p>The fact that children must go without is unconscionable. The fact that education is a luxury is a travesty!&nbsp;</p><p>When much is given much more is expected in return! Those who are blessed much acknowledge with gratitude their blessing and in good conscience give to those who are in need.&nbsp;</p><p>Praise God on this day. Privilege is something that is often not understood until it is not there. The greatest privilege does not come from ones material wealth but from ones ability to help ones fellows.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

A regional conference put on by the newly formed Urantia Communities of the Northwest. It was truly an amazing event, to say the least, but it was missing youth participation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">So where are the young people? They are everywhere! They are all around us everyday. Ok, yes, you know I&rsquo;m speaking specifically about young Urantia Book readers. Well, unfortunately they seem to be in shockingly short supply. But it wasn&rsquo;t always this way.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="667" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7425/master/" width="1000"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When I talk with people about the history of the movement I often hear about how many people found the book in the late 60&rsquo;s and 70&rsquo;s. The open minded cultural movement of love and self discovery of those times was the perfect soil for the revelation to grow and an amazing number of people (including many young) became readers in a short period of time.</span></p><p>The UB tells us:</p><blockquote><p>&ldquo;As the human mind reckons backward into the past, it is evaluating past experience for the purpose of bringing it to bear on a present situation. As mind reaches out into the future, it is attempting to evaluate the future significance of possible action. And having thus reckoned with both experience and wisdom, the human will exercises judgment-decision in the present, and the plan of action thus born of the past and the future becomes existent. &ldquo;&nbsp;118:1.4</p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">To me this quote means that we continue to acknowledge the past of our movement as we plan for the future. Otherwise it seems we will be discussing solutions to a problem we don&rsquo;t fully understand.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="768" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7426/master/" style="float: right;" width="191"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">My understanding of this problem has developed out of my life experiences. I was born into a UB home, I&rsquo;ve traveled on evangelical missions, and I have been a founding member of the Youth and Young Adult Committee. Therefore, I feel my experiences have given me an understanding of my generation that few share.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When I&rsquo;ve traveled I would hear very personal stories about what some people went through in the 70&rsquo;s and 80&rsquo;s. The break up of the Foundation and the Brotherhood, the Fall of Vern Grimsly, and the growth of the teaching mission. All of these events had incredible effects on the Urantia community of those days, and continue to influence us today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The events of those times should not be taken lightly. Not that they need to be dug up but that they need to be acknowledged if we desire to have a honest conversation about our history and where we find our movement in 2015 and going forward.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">These events had a devastating effect on our community for a few specific reasons. </span></p><ol><li><span style="font-size: 18px;">One, they started a culture of separation. That groups of us had separate missions while studying the same exact teachings. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Two, they caused incredible disappointment. When you have such strong leadership, that you place so much expectation on, the let down is significant if they falter. The desire to support new leaders and trust in strong leadership has been largely lost in our community. Instead of a focus on training young leaders inside the Fellowship we continue as a culture of &ldquo;study, study, study&rdquo;. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Third, in my opinion, we have not yet figured out what our primary mission is as kingdom believers.</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">What do I mean by &ldquo;our mission&rdquo; ? Well when I say Buddhist you instantly have a clear image of what being Buddhist means right? What about Mormon? Same thing? These groups have established who they are and that&rsquo;s how the world knows them.</span></li>
</ol><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Us UB readers are still just &ldquo;readers&rdquo; if you ask most people. In fact as we left the gathering at the Hood one of the staff said &ldquo;the book club group is leaving today at noon&rdquo;. That is how we come across to observers. And if you visit your average study group that is what you will find, &ldquo;readers&rdquo;.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7427/master/"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png"></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">That is not to say these readers are not living these teachings in their daily lives or are kind and beautiful people. We know they are. I&rsquo;m saying as a community of Urantia Book students, and believers in Jesus Christ, we have not yet come together in unity of purpose and therefor we are known as readers. Because that is what we primarily do. We read. I know some of you would say that having a unifying mission is not the goal but I would argue it&rsquo;s why we have so few young people in our movement.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">People, especially young, want to be part of something. Not something deep and complex but something tangible, fulfilling, and now! Being part of a book club is not very exciting. Though it might have some spiritual fulfilment, once you get deep enough, it is not enough to attract but a few.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Here is my idea for moving forward and discovering who we are as a movement. I&rsquo;m proposing that we do EXACTLY what the revelation instructs. It is a fact that the 5th Epochal Revelation does not in fact tell us to study and know the 196 papers of the Urantia Book. It just doesn&rsquo;t say this. What it DOES say is this:</span></p><blockquote><p>&ldquo;Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.&rdquo;&nbsp;(196:1.3)</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7428/master/"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png"></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">This to me is our path to becoming who we know we can be as a community and a worldwide movement. To focus on Jesus&rsquo; message first and foremost.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The rest of the Urantia Book is just incredible knowledge and truth to help us become better messengers of the world&rsquo;s most important Gospel!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">As Jesus instructs, this does not mean banging on doors declaring &ldquo;The Master has risen!&rdquo; We must meet people where they are in their spiritual path and along the way serve all we find in need. When the whole of our movement, most importantly the leadership, is committed to this mission we will be overflowing with families and youth.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When our message and purpose is simple and tangible we will be shocked by how many people find us and join our cause.</span></p><blockquote><p>&ldquo;No cult can survive unless it embodies some masterful mystery and conceals some worthful unattainable&rdquo;&nbsp;87:7.9</p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Do we have this in our movement? If you think we do please leave it in the comments. I don&rsquo;t personally see one. Not one that unites us and makes us jump out of bed every morning! And until we do find this our community will continue to splinter into many different minimally effective social groups. Losing the potential power we all know we would find if we united behind Jesus and his life saving message.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Let us develop together a message we can all unite behind. It won&rsquo;t be comfortable for some at first, and it shouldn&rsquo;t be, but it is the way. When the revelation says it so clearly&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #0000FF;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.&rdquo;&nbsp;(196:1.3)&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: 18px;">will we just continue to ignore this? Will we continue to be a book club when we are called to be teachers and leaders for the master? I pray not. I pray we find our common purpose in these teachings and work together to reach the masses with this BEAUTIFUL NEW Gospel we all know will change lives as it has changed ours.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">And when we do this the youth will start knocking on our door day and night.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p><p>Note from the Author: I feel like I could write 20,000 words about this subject. How to attract and inspire young spiritually minded youth to find and understand revelation. There is no one answer. It really is all wrapped up in how we each move towards following the Masters leading and being true cosmic citizens. I&rsquo;d love to hear your thought for the future of our movement.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png"></p><p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</p><p><img alt="" height="200" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7429/master/" style="float: left;" width="200">Hello!

This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same unto all holy seekers and loving enquirers. The completion of such a redemption is withheld and abstracted by the seals of Revelation. Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open seal after seal, so shall this redemption come to be revealed, both particularly and universally. In the gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in Christ doth consist the unsearchable wisdom of God which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy seeker. In order to which&nbsp;<a href="http://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/The-Urantia-Papers/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(93, 143, 189); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(93, 143, 189);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">the Ark of the Testimony in Heaven</span></a>&nbsp;shall be opened before the end of this age, and the living testimony herein contained shall be unsealed.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">02</span>&nbsp;&quot;The presence of the Divine Ark (Christ) will constitute the life of this Virgin Church, and wherever this body is, there must the Ark of necessity be. The unsealing of the living testimony within the Ark of God must begin the promulgation of&nbsp;<a href="http://machiventamelchizedek.org/Urantia-Book/Jesus-Papers/0000-Index-Text.htm" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(93, 143, 189); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(93, 143, 189);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom</span></a>. The proclamation of the testimony will be as the sounding of a trumpet of alarm to the nations of professed Christendom. Authority shall be given by Christ to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true church that is born of the New Jerusalem mother. This decision will be the actual sealing of the body of Christ with the name (or authority) of God, giving them a commission to act by the same. This new name (or authority) will distinguish them from the seven thousand names of Babylon.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">03</span>&nbsp;&quot;The election and preparation of this Virgin Church is to be after a secret and hidden manner. As David in his ministry was chosen and anointed by the prophet of the Lord, yet was not admitted to the outward profession of the kingdom for a considerable time afterward, of the stem of David a Virgin Church, which hath known nothing of a man or human constitution, is to be born, and it will require some time for it to get out of the minority and arrive at full and mature age.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">04</span>&nbsp;&quot;The birth of this Virgin Church was typified by St. John&#39;s vision where the great wonder appeared in heaven, bringing forth her first born, that was caught up to the throne of God (or identified with the authority of God). For as a woman brought forth Christ after the flesh, so shall a Sonship Family bring forth the first born after the Spirit, who shall be endowed with the seven spirits of God. This spiritual family so brought forth and sealed with the mark of divine authority will have no bonds or impositions; but the holy unction among these new born spirits will be &quot; I AM all in all a new revelation of the Supreme Being.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">05</span>&nbsp;&quot;There is not at this day (1679) visible upon the earth such a church; all profession being found light when weighed in the balances. Therefore they are rejected by the Supreme Judge, which rejection will be for this cause, that out of them may come a new and glorious church. (Comprising a single human family) Then shall the glory of God and the Lamb so rest upon this typical tabernacle, so that it shall be called the Tabernacle of Wisdom, and though it is not now known in visibility, yet it shall be seen as coming out of the wilderness within a short time. Then will it go on to multiply and propogate itself universally, not only to the number of the first born (144,000) but also to the remnant of the seed, against whom the dragon will make war continually.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">06</span>&nbsp;&quot;Wherefore the spirit of David shall revive in this church and most especially in some elect members of it as the blossoming root. These will have might given them to overcome the dragon and his angels even as David overcame Goliath and the Philistine army. This will be the standing up of the great Prince Michael, and it will be as the appearing of Moses against Pharaoh in order that the chosen seed may be brought out of hard servitude.&quot; Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world&hellip;(the Power Elite)</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251);"><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-01.gif" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251);"><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251);"><a href="http://www.machiventa.org/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=37" style="background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251); color: rgb(93, 143, 189); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(93, 143, 189); font-size: 14.4px;"><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3/images/Occupy-the-World-684x50.gif" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;"></a><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251);"><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-01.gif" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251);"></p><blockquote style="margin: 0.5em 1px 20px 25px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(119, 168, 206); font-size: 0.95em; padding: 25px 5px 5px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><div><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-YYCir-65-01.gif" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;">157:4.5&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 16.416px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 255);">Jesus, still standing, then said to the twelve: &quot;You are my chosen ambassadors, but I know that, in the circumstances, you could not entertain this belief as a result of mere human knowledge.

Upon this rock of spiritual reality will I build the living temple of spiritual fellowship in the eternal realities of my Father&#39;s kingdom. All the forces of evil and the hosts of sin shall not prevail against this human fraternity of the divine spirit. And while my Father&#39;s spirit shall ever be the divine guide and mentor of all who enter the bonds of this spirit fellowship, to you and your successors I now deliver the keys of the outward kingdom -- the authority over things temporal -- the social and economic features of this association of men and women as fellows of the kingdom.&quot; And again he charged them, for the time being, that they should tell no man that he was the Son of God.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"><strong><em>From the teachings of the Urantia Revelations(1955)</em></strong></span></div></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><blockquote style="margin: 0.5em 1px 20px 25px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(119, 168, 206); font-size: 0.95em; padding: 25px 5px 5px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><div><span style="font-size: 15.732px;">Eph. 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the full armour of God, that ye may withstand the evil day.<br /><br />Eph. 6:14 Girt your loins about with truth, and have on the breast plate of righteousness&hellip;<br /><br />Eph. 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.<br /><br />Eph. 6:16 and above all, take the Shield of Faith&hellip;<br /><br />Eph. 6:17 the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.</span></div></blockquote><p><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(231, 242, 251); font-size: 16.56px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">07&nbsp;</span>&quot;Egypt doth figure this servile creation under which Abraham&#39;s seed groans, but a prophet, and the most prophetical generation, will the Most High raise up who shall deliver His people by the force of spiritual arms; for which there must be raised up certain head powers to bear the first office, who are to be persons in favor with God whose dread and fear shall fall on all nations visible and invisible, because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Spirit which shall rest upon them. For Christ will appear in some chosen vessels to bring into the Promised Land the New Creation state.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">08</span>&nbsp;&quot;Thus Moses, Joshua, and Aaron may be considered types of some upon whom the same Spirit will come, yet in greater proportion. Whereby they shall make way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mt. Zion; but none shall stand under God but those who have become &quot;tried&quot; stones after the pattern and similitude of Christ. This will be fiery trial through which a very few will be able to pass or bear up in it. Whereby the waiters for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of Pure Love. This trial will be of absolute necessity to all for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning of all wood, hay, and stubble. For nothing must remain in the fire, for as a refiner shall He purify the sons of the Kingdom.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">09</span>&nbsp;&quot;There will be some who will be fully redeemed, being clothed upon with a priestly garment after the Melchizedek order. This will qualify them for governing Authority. Therefore it is required on their part to suffer the Spirit of burning and fanning of the fiery breath searching every part within them until they arrive at a Fixed Body from whence the wonders are to flow out.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">10</span>&nbsp;&quot;Upon this body will be the fixation of the Urim and Thummim that are the portion of the Melchizedek priesthood whose descent is not counted in the genealogy of that creation which is under the fall, but in another genealogy which is a New Creation. Hence these priests will have a deep inward search and divine sight into secret things of Deity; will be able to prophesy in a clear ground; not darkly and enigmatically, for they will know what is couched in the first originality of all beings, in the eternal anti-type of nature, and will be able to bring them forth according to the divine counsel and ordination.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">11</span>&nbsp;&quot;The Lord sweareth in truth and righteousness that from Abraham&#39;s line, according to the Spirit, there shall arise a holy seed, produced and manifested in the last age. The mighty spirit of Cyrus is appointed to lay the foundation of this Third Temple and support it in building.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">12</span>&nbsp;&quot;There are characteristics and marks whereby the pure Virgin Church shall be known and distinguished from all others that are low, false, and counterfeit. There must be a manifestation of the Spirit whereby to edify and raise up this church, bringing heaven down upon the earth and representing here the New Jerusalem state, in order to which spirits are thus begotten and born of God, ascended to New Jerusalem above where their Head in majesty doth reign.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">13</span>&nbsp;&quot;None but those who have so ascended and received His glory can condescend and communicate the same, being thereby His representatives upon the earth and subordinate priests under Him now. He that has ascended and glorified has made Himself, as it were, our Debtor. Consequently, He will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain high and principal instruments who shall be most humble and as little regarded as David was, whom He will dignify with honour and priestly sovereignty for drawing to them the scattered flocks, and gathering them into one fold out of all nations.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">14</span>&nbsp;&quot;Therefore, there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among the bands of believers that they may be of the first-fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principal agents for Him and with Him, that they may be, if possible, of the number of the First-born of the New Jerusalem mother. All true waiters of His Kingdom in Spirit, under whatsoever profession they may be, ought to be numbered among the virgin spirits to whom this message appertains. Be watchful and quicken your pace.&quot;</span></p><blockquote style="margin: 0.5em 1px 20px 25px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(119, 168, 206); font-size: 0.95em; padding: 25px 5px 5px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><div><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-YYCir-65-01.gif" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; float: left;">155:6.2<span style="font-size: 16.416px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 255);">&nbsp;You have come out from among those of your fellows who choose to remain satisfied with a religion of mind, who crave security and prefer conformity.

You have dared to protest against the grueling bondage of institutional religion and to reject the authority of the traditions of record which are now regarded as the word of God. Our Father did indeed speak through Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea, but he did not cease to minister words of truth to the world when these prophets of old made an end of their utterances. My Father is no respecter of races or generations in that the word of truth is vouchsafed one age and withheld from another.

We need to silently/quietly/peacefully lovingly nurture the growth of our own souls.In actual fact,we need to undertake to revere the looming darkness in balance with the light .</p><p><br />
Our spiritual seeds hold the most precious and best aspects of our souls. Imagine our spiritual seeds taking flight, like seeds upon the wind, pollinating and enhancing our lives and the lives of those around us, for all that we <span>have come to offer the world are ...our love, our wisdom, our laughter and joy, our imagination and intelligence.</span></p><p><br /><span>May we delight in witnessing the flow of love that emerges from each one of us, whenever we choose to share our value with others by playing our part in the boundless and bountiful creation of the Universe.</span></p><p><br /><span>Amen.<br />
