Prayer

Larry:  Dear Father, thank you so much for all the blessings that you 
bestow on each and every one of us, we love you so very much.  We 
appreciate and we love you Father, Michael and Nebadonia.  We would have 
you walk beside us on our journey from imperfection to perfection.  We ask 
you Father to guide us in the proper actions to take in our daily 
lives.  Thank you for the speedy conclusion to the war.  Thank you for the 
peace that is to come to our world.  We pray for Light and Life.  We pray 
for that time when all men and women are doing your will Father, in Christ 
Michael’s Name, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.   Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is 
good to see all of you once again.  Though there are less now then usual, 
however, it is an intimate group.  Tonight I would like to speak to you 
about the significance of Michael’s resurrection.  Although there are many 
views that people hold on the event and the reasons behind it, I would like 
to introduce to you a particular reason.  Most of you know this already 
because most of you read The Urantia Book; however, I would like to 
reiterate the significance.  It is a promise to everyone.  It is a promise 
of a better world.  It is a promise of everlasting life.  It is a 
guarantee, in some respects, that you do survive this mortal life and go 
beyond it.  What awaits you on the other side is another opportunity of 
life.  Michael’s resurrection had a profound impact on your world.  For it 
changed many peoples’ lives and it continues to change and people continue 
to be inspired by him.  People are inspired by his words and by his way of 
living as an example.  Likewise you have been inspired by him.  The 
interpretations that people hold about Jesus should be respected and 
honored.  It is their way of viewing, it is their way of knowing and this 
is not something that you should take away from them.  It is possible for 
you to expand their knowledge of Michael.  You can introduce them to new 
ideas about him.

It would be wrong of you to take away from anyone’s belief system or 
religion.  I would suggest to each of you to hold peoples’ beliefs with the 
utmost respect.  This will help you to avoid conflict with anyone’s belief 
system.  I, in the same fashion do bite my tongue from time to time when I 
see many of you falling into error.  It is not my place to correct you.  I 
am only here to enlighten you and to educate you.  Sooner or later you 
shall correct yourself.  It is up to the individual to learn and to 
grow.  Nothing can be forced on someone.  If it is forced, it is 
useless.  You would be resentful.  In the same fashion of enlightenment you 
should give the knowledge about The Urantia Book or about Michael.  Freely 
give them this knowledge and if they choose to accept it, it is for their 
own benefit, but if they do not choose to accept it, do not force it upon 
them.

Another aspect of Michael’s resurrection is the gift of the Spirit of 
Truth.  The Spirit that enables you to recognize something for what it 
is.  It allows you to recognize truth, beauty and goodness.  This gift of 
the Creator Son is a marvelous gift that should be cherished by all of 
you.  It has allowed you, up to this point, to recognize the truth that has 
come to you throughout your life.  If it were not for this gift, you would 
have been fooled into whatever treachery anyone could have devised.  You 
would have fallen far from your path, but the Spirit of Truth combined with 
your Thought Adjuster has allowed you to find the way towards God, towards 
Michael, towards your destiny.  This is the gift that has been given to you 
by Michael.

There are many more reasons for Michael coming here to Urantia, but I 
cannot name them all.  What I can tell you is that he so dearly loves your 
world.  He loves all of you.  He is honored by the amount of respect that 
he receives each year during Easter.  He does listen to everyone’s 
praise.  He does recognize everything that people ask of him.  Even when 
people use his name for wrong reasons, he does not judge them nor condemn 
them.  Michael accepts all and he loves all.  Jesus loves you, his 
children, his brothers and sisters.  Jesus’ life here on earth meant so 
much to him and he has forever felt how it is to live here.  He fully 
understands each and every one of you.  Jesus knows how it is to be sad, to 
be in pain, to be in anguish or to suffer.  He understands all of this 
because he went through it himself.  He felt every single emotion that a 
human can feel.  He did this for you.  He did this because of you.  I am 
not saying that he died because of you.  Nor did he die for you.  He died 
because he had to die the death of a mortal and yet he lives.

What Michael did was to come here for you, he came to this world, Urantia, 
because it was so alone, so tattered and so chaotic that it formed the 
perfect contrast for his message; for his gift.  That is why he prizes your 
world most of all, for it is a promise that one day this world will reach 
Light and Life.  This world will usher in this new era.  Michael knows it 
in his heart and he is glad to see it coming.  He just wishes that he could 
share this vision with you, so that you won’t worry so much about what your 
world will become.  Michael understands where you are coming from; he 
understands your limited point of view and your limited ways of 
thinking.   He wishes you would open your minds enough to accept new 
possibilities and new ways of thinking.

When you arrive on the Morontia Worlds you will automatically have a more 
open mind.  Your minds shall be more superior on the Morontia Worlds.  That 
doesn’t mean that you will stop holding certain views.  The power to 
explain something to you will be easier, you will quickly grasp concepts, 
instead of me having to explain something over and over again until you 
finally begin to see.  Michael has patience and faith, he knows that sooner 
or later this world will show signs of improvement.  There are signs of 
improvement as we speak.  Do not worry and do not be afraid of what is to 
come.  Michael is here, he is all around you.  He shall protect you and he 
loves you.  Michael is always with you.  Are there any questions?

Lucille:  JarEl, my daughter-in-law is Jewish and she is raising my two 
grandchildren in the Jewish Faith.  Is there any way that I could talk to 
them about Jesus or just share the love?  She does not recognize him.  It 
makes it difficult for me to not talk about Jesus to my grandchildren.

JarEl:  TR, George.  It is not so important that you bring up to them the 
figure of Jesus.  What is important is that you make that connection with 
them, with love, that you harmonize with them and that you set examples for 
them.  People will always have different beliefs, but that is no a reason 
to drive a stake down and separate the family.  You shall find other ways 
to connect Lucille and those ways shall be remembered by your grandchildren.

Lucille:  Thank you.  I dearly love them and they talked to me on the phone 
tonight, so it was

..but they are raised with a lot of love that is for sure.

JarEl:  TR, George.  That is what is important and it should be like 
that.  Are there any other questions?

Lucille:  Is it possible to have the feeling that Jesus is standing beside 
you?  It seems like I have seem him standing by me more lately.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Yes it is possible.  When you feel something and it 
feels real, it is real.  This is something that I would like all of you to 
try to recognize; the reality of certain things that are not seen.  You 
will soon find out that these things that are felt are more real and 
meaningful than the things that can be seen or touched.  The next time that 
you feel Jesus standing next to you, know that is real.

Lucille:  It certainly gives me a beautiful feeling of love.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Jesus feels the same love from you.  You are all 
children of the Everlasting Father and that makes you my brothers and 
sisters.  You are destined to reach Paradise at some point in your 
lives.  Inside of you, you hold the eternal beacon that one day shall lead 
you to the eternal fusion.  What you create in your lives and your souls 
shall be the offspring of what God the Supreme is and will be.  Respect 
each other and love one another for we are all brothers and sisters.  You 
are doing good.  Continue with your works.  Until next time, good night.

All:  Good night.
