This Is The Way
The greatest challenges of my life have been to have the ability to live my life on earth according to the will of God. To trust fearlessly in troublesome times regardless of what comes my way. And finally to build my soul for my eternal future in the here and now. And with all that is going on in the world with the global meltdown and the recession many are facing extremely hard times. It is easy to speak beautiful words of encouragement and comfort, however, that won’t necessarily help pay the mortgage or make the pink slip go away. It can be hard for some of us to maintain our focus on God when not only the world around us seems to be falling apart but the world inside of us is becoming affected too. And so having that ability, to stay focused and trust in God in times of trouble becomes a real challenge. But have you ever wonder why it’s hard to maintain our faith. Well, according to the Urantia Book our biological development was supposed to be uplifted by the arrival of Adam and Eve ( The Material Sons and Daughters of God) who were given the assignment /responsibility of uplifting our biology which would have resulted in our physical nature becoming a superior type and we would have been more naturally spirit responsive. And if ,the divine plan had gone forward uninterrupted by the Lucifer Rebellion, today as a race we would not have been so spiritually confused or weak nor would we have these struggles between the spirit and the flesh regardless of our life circumstances. In other perfected worldswhere there has never has been any kind of rebellion damage the spirit and the flesh are in perfect harmony. In these perfected worlds mortals never see death because they reach their levels of spiritual attainment during their life in the flesh and are translated directly to the morontial level of existence to continue there journey to eternity. And that can happen here to, if we are able to reach the higher levels of spirituality the seven psychic circles of attainment mentioned in the Urantia Book. But regardless of our disadvantage, due to the Adamic default through our faith in Jesus Christ we are given entrance into the spiritual kingdom, which makes us the Faith Sons and Daughters of God. And this same faith in Jesus Christ which liberates us from the bondage of animal fear is what Jesus meant when He said “This is the victory that overcomes the flesh,even your faith”. And if by your faith you are considered a faith Son of God you have also at the same time, taken your very first steps toward eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven.
In paper 34 of the Urantia Book in the last chaper # 7 ”The Spirt and the Flesh” , it pretty well says it all. “Having started out on the way of life everlasting, having accepted the assignment and received your orders to advance , do not fear the dangers of human forgetfulness and mortal inconsistancy, do not be troubled with doubts and failure or faulter and question your status and standing, for in every dark hour, at every crossroad in the forward struggle, the spirit of truth will always speak, saying, ”this is the way.” I am sure you have heard someone say this “We truly are never alone in our journey and struggles in life”…but now you know why.
