FAITH

Once that we have understood that we are spirits, we begin to
discover all the marvels that we were given. In order for the
spirit to understand all of which it possesses, it was given
matter, so that through such matter it would know in a
comprehensible and palpable fashion, what a spirit is able to
accomplish. The gifts are to the spirit as to the senses are
to the matter; In the same way that matter has sight, the
spirit has intuition through which faith is assured.

We have heard some religions state that faith is a dogma; but
our Father tells us the contrary. Faith must be based on
knowledge, in the "I know", not even in the "I believe." It is
something which our spiritual sight has already seen.

Our Father says: "Blessed are the ones who believe before they
have seen. Yes, My children, because the true faith is also the
vision which contemplates that which  neither the mind nor the
senses can discover. Only faith can uncover to man some of the
mysteries of creation." (The Third Testament. Book of the True
Life. T 153:57)

All those who have faith because they understand the magnitude
of the gifts that  God has deposited in them, cannot be unshure
of themselves. They know that with love and preparation, with
spiritual elevation, can take to the roads which God points out
to them, and leave with their example a strong trace of peace
and light amongst men. 

Whenever we feel that our faith weakens, we must act as if we
had it, and before we realize it, our faith will have grown.

"Faith is like a lighthouse which illuminates your route until
arrival at the safe port of eternity." (The Third Testament.
Book of the True Life. T 263:12)

THE GIFTS THAT WE ALL POSSESS

The Divine Master, in the Second Era, told his disciples that
they could repeat all that they saw Him do. By telling them,
He told all humanity, to he who prepares himself. And, how can
we prepare ourselves? 

"He who loves, practices My doctrine; he who feels the pain of
his brethren, suffers on their behalf and provides consolation,
he is My disciple. He who teaches virtue through deeds, with his
own life, he is the teacher. He who truly loves his brother, he
is My worthy son." (The Third Testament. Book of the True Life.
T 73:27)

Jesus healed everyone. There was no evil that He could not defeat.
There was no unknown sickness to Him. There were no problems
without solutions. Sin without forgiveness did not exist (Luke
7:47), and there was no affliction without consolation. All was
found within that spring of love, in that divine doctor that
healed everything with only one remedy, only one balsam: His
love.

Because Divine love is fountain of life (Ap.21:6), fountain of
health, spring of blessings and charity. And the faculty was
deposited by our Lord in his disciples, whom after His departure,
achieved marvelous prodigies, surprising and miraculous healings,
both in matter and spirit.

"Close to the year 2000, the spiritual gifts of humanity shall
commence to manifest themselves, giving testimony of My word."
(The Third Testament. Book of the True Life. T 181:56)

Therefore, what are we waiting for? Let us practice our gifts!!,
it does not matter that in the beginning we make mistakes. How
did we learn to walk?  Did we never trip in the process? All we
have to do is practice, practice... because practice makes
perfect.

"He who knows how to prepare himself, he who instead of making
himself noticed, makes himself useful, and instead of trying to
make things happen before their time would await patiently, he
shall listen  clearly  My teachings that will reach his spirit
through the gifts that exist within him, which are the gift of
inspiration, intuition, premonition through prayer, spiritual
vision and prophetic dreams."  (The Third Testament. Book of
the True Life. T 7:14)

I encourage you to go through life's path, conscious of what you
possess, willing to distribute those spiritual gifts with full
hands.  They are a treasure that the more they are shared, the
larger they will become.

INVITED COLUMN: EVERY DAY LIFE

-NEWS FOR A NEW ERA-       CONTACT WITH GOD OUR FATHER!!

Time has arrived: Man can communicate with the Divine Spirit!.
Take Advantage!! Contact Him by direct line. Learn how to have a
dialogue with our spiritual Father and to receive His messages.
No email address necessary.

Our Father likes those who try to communicate with Him because He
has always been there, waiting for His children to call. But it
is not often that His "phone" rings. His creatures prefer to make
other types of calls. And when it is Him that calls, nobody
answers. We don't even get to hear the ring. We are all to busy
to listen to that soft and loving voice, instead the noise of our
daily activity prevails.

When things change is when we have serious problems. Then we
unhook our "phone", fall on our knees, and it occurrs to us to
make an "emergency call" to ask for help, since all the other
alternatives failed..." God, please do something!!. Help me, have
mercy, I promise to be good, I can't take it any more!!". And we
impatiently await the reply. But, normally nothing is heard. God
apparently does not reply. It would seem that He  has deaf ears
and is not there. Doubts begin ... doubt of Him who is all love¡¡¡
Ask Him to have mercy, when He is mercy!!

Meanwhile, God our Father is communicating with us, but  we do not
hear Him. We are so little accustomed to dialogue with Him that we
don't even recognize His voice when He talks to us. Who knows what
words He uses, how He expresses Himself... hmm, maybe the language
that He uses is that of  love. That is it¡¡ The divine language is
Love¡¡¡

It is not enough to ask of what we need. One has to know how to
receive what is given. It is necessary to have practice to
communicate with our Father and understand His messages. And what
is that practice? The one that is born from doing good, that which
is born from love. We can tell Him all that we want, there is no
problem since He always listens, moreover He already knows. But how
do we know how and when He replies to us?

It is simple. We have to orient our antenna like that of a TV when
we want to receive a clear image, or like a radio when we are
looking for a frequency of a station to listen to a program. And
that frequency is that of love. 

Of course, one must avoid interferences and must disconnect from all
the superfluous and material things. Forget even our thoughts, take
refuge in silence. And there, talk with that God which we need as a
Father, a friend, a confident. In a simple, humble and sincere
manner, with our heart, with faith, like a son who approaches his
parents convinced that he is loved, listened to, and that he will be
helped. 

Then the miracle takes place! There is always a reply in one manner
or another. Not always will we receive the reply that we wanted or
expected, but it will always be the one that is necessary and best
for us. We must know how to capture and interpret it. Sometimes we
fall asleep awaiting the reply, and a dream takes place. This dream
has a meaning. It is the reply. At other times a thought goes
through our mind, clears a doubt, discipates a misunderstanding.
It would seem to have sprung from who knows where, but we know from
Whom and where it came from.

Our intuition, premonition, you know... those subtle feelings born
deep from within us, that do not deceive or make mistakes. Those
that have tuned their spiritual affinity have developed these gifts
that have been wrongly called a "sixth sense". And when that
sensibility is awakened, it is as if the "phone line" with our
Father rung constantly to inform, orient, instruct, comfort and
guide us.

There are many other faculties which our Father utilizes to
communicate with us. We will discover them in the manner in which
we learn to become in contact with Him, using the divine language
of love.

Beloved: 

It is such the importance of the development of our spiritual gifts
that we can say that without their use, we could seem to be dead
within life. And in the same fashion as the senses belonging to our
matter are used to communicate with those around us, and to percieve
all that surrounds us, similarly our gifts manifest our spiritual
life and the perception of it.

Let us not forget that in order for the gifts to flourish, the
most important thing is to make use of them, without fear of
criticism, without permitting shyness or lack of will to prevent us
to exercise those faculties that are dormant within us, to the
degree that some of us may feel that we do not possess them at all.
