I Am Jesus:
You are my dear brother and I will tell you what I desire you to do at this time.
You must not let the little worries of your business life keep you from giving your thoughts to God in worship and in prayer, and from believing in me and loving me as your friend and teacher; for I am, and wish only to have you do those things which will make you more at-one with the Father and love me more. You must try to let all your thoughts turn to the mission which I have selected you to do, for you I have chosen and you must do my work. As I am the one that God selected to do His work when I lived on earth, so you are the one that I now select to do my work by giving to the world my messages of truth and love. I will soon commence to write them and you must preserve them until such time as you shall be in condition to have them published.
I do not want you to think that you are not worthy to do this great work, for you are; otherwise I would not have selected you. and this fact alone should be sufficient to make you not doubt that you are a suitable person for the work.
In my teachings I want to show you that I am only my Father's Son as you are His son, and not to be worshipped as God. He is the only God, and the people who to-day are worshipping me in all parts of the world are not doing what I desire; for they are putting God in the background and making me their object of worship, which is all wrong and which I am so anxious to have cease. They must look upon me only as a son of God and their elder brother who has received from the Father His full love and confidence and which I am bidden to teach to them.
You are not to let anyone tempt you to let your love of God be displaced by any love you may have for me, for your love for me must not be of the kind you have for Him--He is the only God and you must worship Him alone--so be careful and make this distinction or you will make an egregious mistake.
I am your own dear brother and teacher and love you with a love that I have for very few of the mortals. Why? because I see that you will become a true follower of me and learn to love God as I love Him; only I do not want you to think that you are now in a condition that leaves you free from sin, or the necessity of praying to the Father with all your heart for an inflowing of His love. You must get all this love that is possible; and that can be gotten only by prayer and faith. So in your prayers have faith, and the time will come when you will become very close to the Father and enjoy His love to a degree that few have so far obtained.
Yes, it is possible, and as I say, it will take place. Only do as I have told you.
Yes, I will help you with all my power and love and you will succeed, only try to believe and you will realize before you come to the spirit world that God is your Father to a degree that will enable you to live very near to Him as I am living. Your faith is now very great as I know, and notwithstanding the fact that at times you have your doubts and get despondent, yet your faith is there, and it will grow in intensity, and become so strong that it will never again be shaken.
You must now let me stop as you are tired and need rest.
Yes, there are many things in my life as written in the Bible which are true, and many that are not true. These I will tell you of when I come to write my formal messages.
So let us stop now--
Your own true friend and teacher.
May God's blessings and mine rest upon you this night.
- Jesus.
