Jesus looked at them and said, &ldquo;With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.&rdquo; &ndash;Matthew 19:26 (NIV) Said Jesus to Ganid: &quot;I have absolute confidence in my heavenly Father&#39;s overcare; I am consecrated to doing the will of my Father in heaven. I do not believe that real harm can befall me; I do not believe that my lifework can really be jeopardized by anything my enemies might wish to visit upon me, and surely we have no violence to fear from our friends. I am absolutely assured that the entire universe is friendly to me &mdash; this all-powerful truth I insist on believing with a wholehearted trust in spite of all appearances to the contrary.&rdquo; ~ The Urantia Book, 133:1.4. God is not only present in the midst of seemingly impossible circumstances&mdash;serious illness, financial problems, broken relationships, addictions&mdash;but He also knows how to bring victory out of them. With God&#39;s help, the impossible becomes gloriously possible to us all.<br />
May we Fill our heart with hope and enthusiasim by resisting in moving ourselves away from the Light, the universal flow<br />
,which is in the present moment.<br />

I showed her a picture of what they were eating that day. She said, &quot;Mom, I am thinking I want to give them my $10 bill.&quot; She got busy making a note to Robert and I sent the money to him and the picture of Ava&#39;s note and money. Then Robert told me how the new baby was born that day and had no clothes. So I asked Ava if it would be ok if Robert used the money to buy the baby&#39;s first clothes. Of course she loved that. She was so happy to see the pictures of the new clothes and the baby.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 15.99px;"><img alt="" height="2048" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/5961/master/" width="1152"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="960" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/5960/master/" width="720"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="960" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/5959/master/" width="720"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="800" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/5964/master/" width="1280"></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 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/walugosirob/"><img alt="" height="100" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Ani-RobertWalugosi-FaceBook.gif" width="100"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong style="margin: 0px;

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><span style="color: #0000FF;">The Good Samaritan&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><span style="color: #0000FF;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></span></p><p><img alt="" height="158" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/5864/master/" style="float: left;" width="200">Many, many times during his years of teaching, Jesus told and retold this story of the prodigal son. This parable and the story of the good Samaritan were his favorite means of teaching the love of the Father and the neighborliness of man.&nbsp; &quot;A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of cruel brigands, who robbed him, stripped him and beat him, and departing, left him half dead. Very soon, by chance, a certain priest was going down that way, and when he came upon the wounded man, seeing his sorry plight, he passed by on the other side of the road. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came along and saw the man, passed by on the other side. Now, about this time, a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed down to Jericho, came across this wounded man; and when he saw how he had been robbed and beaten, he was moved with compassion, and going over to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting the man upon his own beast, brought him here to the inn and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out some money and, giving it to the host, said: &#39;Take good care of my friend, and if the expense is more, when I come back again, I will repay you.&#39; Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?&quot; And when the lawyer perceived that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, &quot;He who showed mercy on him.&quot; And Jesus said, &quot;Go and do likewise.&quot;</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>

Who can study for years without having lunch while at school!<br />
Is the kind of person who can lose his or her parents and the uncle&#39;s&nbsp;and aunt&#39;s mistreat him or her and remain steadfast in the determination to succeed!<br />
Is the kind of person who can start looking for money to survive at an early age and struggle for the rest of his or her life!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Really life in Africa for some kids is uneasy and at the same time often unbearable.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />

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.</p><p><img alt="" height="113" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-02-Thick-Shadow.png" width="569"></p><p>What does the greatest teacher of truth ever to appear on this world mean by the saying &quot; The gospel yoke is easy and the burden of truth is light.&quot;</p><p><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6699ff;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">Understanding what it truly means to be an Urantia Book leader and teacher</span></span></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="525" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/1123/master/" width="700"></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Hi dear friends, greetings to all. I would like to share with you some thoughts about spiritual leadership, that could be helpful to understand what it truly means to be an Urantia Book leader and teacher:</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Urantia Book speaks about effective and wise leadership in civilization, nation life, society and culture, to material success, etc. But spiritual leadership is clearly something different, and it is what the Urantia movement needs most. It requires &quot;faith, love, and devotion to truth&mdash;hunger and thirst for righteousness&mdash;the wholehearted desire to find God and to be like him.&quot; The Urantia Book, 156:5.7</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Says the Urantia Papers: RELIGION does need NEW LEADERS, SPIRITUAL men and women who will dare to depend SOLELY on Jesus and his incomparable teachings. If Christianity persists in neglecting its spiritual mission while it continues to busy itself with social and material problems, the spiritual renaissance must await the coming of THESE NEW TEACHERS of Jesus&rsquo; religion who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world. 195:9.4 (2082.9)</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Friends, please observe: The revelator is not talking about social leaders. The revelator said that THE NEW RELIGION LEADERS WILL BE THE NEW TEACHERS, they must be spiritualized men and women. Then, there cannot be any Urantia Book related leadership if there are no profound KNOWLEDGE AND TRUE PRACTICE of the religious life of Jesus and the revelator&#39;s teachings (spiritual = spirit-born men and women that live the religion of the spirit, based on true worship and service).</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Why is the leadership established by Jesus and the revelators in the matters related to the spiritual brotherhood spiritual? Because it consists in guiding others into the kingdom, and to do it we must walk in the clear light of living truth. Living truth only can be known experientially within ourselves, in the spiritual communion with the Father, but we need also to have a clear understanding of the revealed truth.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The second part of the paragraph, &ldquo;&hellip; who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world&rdquo; refers to the human beings spiritually regenerated by the work of the leader-teachers as &ldquo;these spirit-born souls&rdquo; who will &ldquo;quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world.&rdquo;</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The leader-teachers &ldquo;will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men&rdquo;, they will not be devoted to reorganize the world. The social, moral, economic and political reorganization of the world will be a natural consequence of the inner personal religious experience of the believer soul in the communion with God, the spiritual transformation.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">181:2.16 (1958.3) &quot;When the Master had finished speaking to James Zebedee, he stepped around to the end of the table where Andrew sat and, looking his faithful helper in the eyes, said: &ldquo;Andrew, &hellip; In my universe and in my Father&rsquo;s universe of universes, our brethren-sons are dealt with as individuals in all their spiritual relations, but in all group relationships we unfailingly provide for definite leadership. Our kingdom is a realm of order, and where two or more will creatures act in co-operation, there is always provided the authority of leadership.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Master was not speaking about social leadership. He was talking about the leadership in the group relationships within the divine kingdom, the spiritual brotherhood. To be a leader in the spiritual relations of the Father&#39;s kingdom implies to be also a teacher, both things are inseparable. To be a leader in the Father&rsquo;s kingdom means to guide our siblings to the kingdom and continue guiding them in the path of the personal and spiritual growth. To do this we must be able to: know, understand, live and teach the revelation. There is only one way that these leaders-teachers can arise, it is depending solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings, living the religion of the spirit, studying the truth, spiritualizing themselves and teaching the living truth to their siblings. Then will this person, fully dedicated to do the will of the Father, receive from Michael and/or the Father the authority of leadership. Spiritual leadership, thus becoming the new human teachers of truth by the very lives they live.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">It is impossible to do spiritual work without spiritual power, because only the spirit-born human beings have the Spirit of Truth in their souls. Jesus said &hellip;&rdquo;this Spirit of Truth will become your power-multiplying fulcrum.&rdquo; 178:1.6 (1930.3)</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;&hellip;Salvation is the free gift of God, but those who are born of the spirit will immediately begin to show forth the fruits of the spirit in loving service to their fellow creatures&hellip; IF PROFESSED BELIEVERS BEAR NOT THESE FRUITS OF THE DIVINE SPIRIT IN THEIR LIVES, THEY ARE DEAD; THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS NOT IN THEM; they are useless branches on the living vine, and they soon will be taken away.&quot; 193:2.2 (2054.3)</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">156:5.2 (1738.1) &hellip;: &ldquo;In order TO YIELD THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, YOU MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT. You must be taught by the spirit and be led by the spirit if you would live the spirit-filled life among your fellows. &hellip;&rdquo;</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In this way grows the spiritual brotherhood and the revelation triumphs, through the true spiritual leaders attracting the seekers of the divine truth that yearn for God, guiding them to the kingdom of the Father, because they live a truth-coordinated life and show forth the fruits. The spiritual brotherhood leadership is based on the knowledge of the living truth and in the real experience of the conscious contact with God, which bears the transforming fruits of the spirit.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">This allows us to have a controlled, directed, and constructive inner life, through our conscious elevation to the worshipful contact in the superconsciousness, by which the spiritual and divine concepts and values can be brought to the human consciousness level, manifesting the divine spiritual fruits to our siblings. This spiritual growth bears witness that God reigns in the heart of the leader-teacher or believer, God having already idealized, ennobled, and spiritualized them.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">So, when the revelator says in the Mandate &ldquo;leaders and teachers,&rdquo; he is talking about only ONE kind of server. The souls born of the spirit, thanks to the efforts of the leader-teachers service, will &ldquo;quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world&rdquo; because these outcomes of Jesus&rsquo; religion are &ldquo;the natural outworking of this inner experience of the soul as it manifests the fruits of the spirit in the spontaneous daily ministry of genuine personal religious experience.&rdquo; 140:10.6 (1585.4)</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The human institutions cannot be transformed by a simple act of the human will. They can be transformed by human beings spiritualized and really guided by God in the spontaneous daily ministry of a genuine personal religious experience. Spontaneous means to seek the communion with God with an open heart, with hunger for truth and thirst for righteousness, longing sincerely to be like God. This ministry implies to nourish daily the soul in the inner experience of meditating on - praying to &ndash; and worshiping the Father, and manifesting the spiritual fruits in our daily services to our siblings.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">16:6.8 (192.4) 3. Worship &mdash; the spiritual domain of the reality of religious experience, the personal realization of divine fellowship, the recognition of spirit values, the assurance of eternal survival, the ascent from the status of servants of God to the joy and liberty of the sons of God. This is the highest insight of the cosmic mind, the reverential and worshipful form of the cosmic discrimination.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">God bless you all. Your sister, Jeannie V&aacute;zquez de Abreu.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="728" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/6602/master/" width="1648"></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="800" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/23234/master/" width="600"></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The Training of Teachers And Leaders,  According to the Teachings of The Urantia Book.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">By Jaime D&iacute;az Page</p><p style="text-align: center;">(Mexico)</p><p>A Melchizedek&nbsp;of Nebadon teaches us <em>&ldquo;There must be perfection hunger in man&rsquo;s heart to insure capacity for comprehending the faith paths to supreme attainment.&rdquo;</em> (Paper 102, page 1118:4)</p><p>This is an <strong><em>essential</em></strong> precondition to become an Urantia Book leader-teacher or study group host. These teachers and hosts should know as much as possible the Urantia Book teachings and train spiritually themselves as taught by Jesus and the revelators, as a condition to disseminate successfully the teachings and attain the acceptance of the revelation in our world.</p><p>The Master outlined the principles that should guide and impel those who teach the divine truth. An instructor of the revelation must be trained through the spiritualization of the soul, the enlightenment of the mind, the acquirement of wisdom and spiritual discernment. <strong>It is not enough to study the revelation to attain these goals</strong>; <em>it is necessary the <strong>spiritual preparation</strong> as the ideal support for the revelation knowledge</em>. The regular preparation in the intimate and spiritual worshipful communion with God, with all our heart, gradually brings us spiritual insight and everything we need to serve God and his revelation. The service to the humanity will be <em>enhanced by the ennobling association of the human mind and the indwelling spirit, the Thought Adjuster</em>. (Paper 178, page 1931:4) This is the religion of the spirit, in which the man communes with God, receiving both the water and bread of the divine life.</p><p>The Book must be brought to the truth-seekers through the example of appropriately qualified persons who show in their lives the spiritual fruits described in the revelation, so when the truth-seekers hear them, they trust and believe them, consequently dedicating themselves to the study and practice of the spiritual teachings designed to attain the soul development and survival.</p><p><em>Jesus endeavored to make clear that he desired his disciples, <strong>having tasted of the good spirit realities&nbsp;of the&nbsp;kingdom</strong>, so to live in the world that men, by&nbsp;seeing&nbsp;their lives, would become&nbsp;kingdom&nbsp;conscious and hence be led to inquire of believers concerning the ways of the&nbsp;kingdom. All such sincere seekers for the truth are always glad to&nbsp;hear&nbsp;the glad tidings of the faith gift which insures admission to the&nbsp;kingdom&nbsp;with its eternal and divine spirit&nbsp;realities</em>. (Paper 141, page 1593:4)</p><p>Jesus teaches us that the hunger and thirst for rectitude of the souls who discern the truth drives them to do the Father&rsquo;s will, to find God and to become like him. Regular and sincere communion with God will produce human beings adequately qualified, trained and coordinated with God the Father. Those who aspire to take their fellows by the hand, to teach them the truths of the spirit, must be guide by their own indwelling Spirit. They must seek to experience the divinity within themselves and be inspired by their Thought Adjusters, gradually incorporating the teachings of Jesus and the revelators, so this Spirit can manifest himself through their human personality, yielding the fruits of the spirit in their lives.</p><p>The service to the people who search God must be the result of the sublime and superior transformation that occurs in the hearts of the spirit-born men, with the help of the Spirit of Truth and the living faith, through the communion with God. To the successful of this truth-seeking ministry to humankind, this service must be anchored on God and must be carried out in his name and for the welfare and happiness of His creatures. The potential instructors who want engage themselves in the spread of the divine truth should be filled with &ldquo;<em>loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace</em>.&rdquo; (2054.3) 193:2.2 They must be sincere, always humble; their spirit fruits and their example must inspire and motivate those who seek the divine truth.</p><p>Let us consider this teaching: &nbsp;<em>The pursuit of mere knowledge, without the attendant interpretation of wisdom and the spiritual insight of religious experience, eventually leads to pessimism and human despair</em>. (Paper 195, page&nbsp;2076:8) The potential instructor of the truth should live the religion of Jesus in his daily life, because it <em>demands living and spiritual experience</em>, not mere traditional beliefs, emotional feelings or philosophic concepts, the true religion of the spirit requires that men attain <em>actual levels of real spirit progression</em>. (Paper 160, page 1782:3)</p><p>It is valid to say that &ldquo;the religion of Jesus&rdquo; and &ldquo;doing the will of God&rdquo; is the same thing. The worship of God and the service of man is the sum and substance of the religion of Jesus. We are taught that the highest levels of self-realization are attained by worship and service, that true religion is the act of an individual soul in its self-conscious relations with the Creator. Jesus exhorted his followers to exercise experiential faith and admonished them not to depend on mere intellectual assent and credulity.</p><p>Our world discovers in the Master&rsquo; life <em>a new and higher type of religion, a religion based on personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the supreme authority of genuine personal experience</em>. (Paper 196, page 2087:4)</p><p>Jesus said that <em>The will of God is the way of &nbsp;God, partnership with the choice of God in the face of any potential alternative. To do the will of God, therefore, is the progressive experience of becoming more and more like God</em>. (Paper 130, page 1431:2) And the revelators tell us that to do the will of God is man&rsquo;s willingness to share his inner life with God, the indwelling Adjuster. <em>Meditation makes the contact&nbsp;of mind with spirit; relaxation determines the capacity for spiritual receptivity</em>. (Paper 160, page 1772:2) <em>He who is full of faith worships truly when his inner self is&nbsp;intent&nbsp;upon&nbsp;God. </em>(Paper 131, page 1448:4)</p><p>Jesus founded the religion of personal experience in doing the will of God and serving the human brotherhood. <em>Worship, taught Jesus, makes one increasingly like the being who is worshiped. Worship is a transforming experience whereby the finite gradually approaches and ultimately attains the presence of God, the Infinite. Paper 146, page 1641:1)</em> Conclusion: if we worship God, we will become like him through the divine qualities that arise in our soul.</p><p>Jesus said: &ldquo;<em>By daily living the will of the Father in heaven, we can reveal him to our fellow men</em>&rdquo; <strong>We cannot <em>do spiritual work in the absence of spiritual power</em></strong><em>. And you can do neither of these, even when their potential is present, without the existence of that third and essential human factor, the <strong>personal experience</strong> of the possession of <strong>living faith.</strong></em> (Paper 158, page 1758:5)</p><p>Jesus teaches us that <em>if the blind lead the blind, they both shall fall into the pit; that if you would guide others into kingdom of the Father, the guide himself must walk in the clear light of living truth.</em> This implies knowing and living the divine truth, associating ourselves with the indwelling Adjuster. Jesus taught us that we should let our light so shine that our fellows will be guided into new and godly paths of enhanced life. Our light should not shine to draw attention to self. Jesus tells us that we can use our vocation as an effective &ldquo;reflector&rdquo; for the dissemination of this light of life.</p><p>We are told that religion does need new leaders, spiritual men and women who will dare to depend solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings, that these new instructors will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of man. We can do this applying wholeheartedly the teachings of Jesus in ourselves, finding God, being born from the spirit and being led by the inner Spirit, through our own effort, in union with God. These instructors are forged walking the spiritual path shown by Jesus of Nazareth.</p><p>Those who feel the call in their heart trust in the Lord, and he will do the work with them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
