am ABRAHAM. Greetings. What a healing group of people we have here this evening.
I am touched to see how faith has blossomed down through the generations to keep
our cause alive. I find our faith to be so stable because it is not forced—it
just is. How blessed are we to have this freedom and put it to good use in
everyday living.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

has been an honor for me to know you and see you grow in spirit. It would do you
well to know the mass personalities here on my side cheering you on, always
hoping and praying for your advancement. It is a cause to rejoice when we can
see Father bring about an ultimate good in any situation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am MARY. Greetings again, friends, I do believe this evenings topic is about
life preparation. I know that many of us can look back on the difficulties of
life and wish they had never happened. Many of us make effort every day to avoid
trudging through the same difficulties over and over again. We all know
individuals who have become quite embittered over their personal experience, but
those who attempt to live a life in the spirit realize that these difficulties
were simply preparation or training for what is to come.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Everything that holds the spark of life has purpose.
Different universes have different goals and each one is set up with a network
of individuals to achieve these goals. You could say one of our collective goals
is to bring growth and actuality to the Supreme Being. The more we live and
experience, the more enlightened we become, which brings our God in time into
actuality.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
don’t believe as a mortal I thought much about the advancement of our universe
or our Supreme Being. In such a materialistic world, I was more captivated by
what was before my eyes. In my life I had experienced a number of hardships,
which Father used to bring about an ultimate good and was indeed training for me
to become an apostle of Christ.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Every individual has particular gifts and is part of the
universe network. As you each mature in spirit you would do well to ponder your
cosmic citizenship and the responsibilities thereof. At this time of correction
many of our tasks are accelerated to bring individuals into their natural
talent. Look not on these circumstances as hardships but as training and bridge
building.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">In
all sincerity, we are soldiers for the Master and have committed ourselves to
serving Him and His cause. He set a wonderful example of forbearance in drinking
the cup of ‘come what may.’ With these thoughts in mind, let us allow the
world’s opinion to fall by the wayside and serve the spirit to the best of our
ability.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

those tasks that bring you soul satisfaction. What is your cosmic
responsibility? That is all for this evening. From Abraham and myself, we send
you our love. Until next time, shalom.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
