WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE IN A STATE OF
GRACE
BELOVED
ARCHANGEL GABRIEL
Flourtown, Pa.
July 2, 1958
HAIL! Children of God that walk for a time the ways of Earth! I AM
Gabriel, the Messenger of the Lord, come always to bring good tidings of grace
and joy to every lifestream who can receive my Presence, who can accept my
reality and who desire deep within the heart to know the joy of holding the
immaculate concept for themselves, their fellowmen, the sweet Earth and all life
that is upon It. I have come many times as such a Messenger from on High!
People in every civilization who were endeavoring to sustain the
magnificence of God's Life and God's Will and God's Way, when they were filled
with Grace, a constant listening consciousness for divinity and were not
diverted constantly by the voices of the many outer activities with which they
were surrounded, were able to hear my message and on many occasions to see me
face to face!
The import of remaining in a state of Grace cannot be over
emphasized to any earnest and sincere chela who intends to pass from ' the outer
shrouded consciousness of the masses into the awakened, liberated God-free of
the illumined who walk and talk as the beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain has
prophesized and as shall come to pass with the Great White Brotherhood, their
representatives and the Angelic Hosts themselves.
The ingredients of Grace
Beloved ones, it has been described in detail to you, the activities
that are ingredients of a constant state of Grace; they embody the Mercy of
Almighty God, the Peace and Balance that is held within your own Holy Christ
Flame, the knowledge of the Truth which has been presented age after age,
century after century, eons after eons, to lifestreams who chose to accept
portions of it, utilize portions of it, and placed it on the shelves of
libraries, the greater majority of those Truths. Grace means purity of motive.
Oh, that most subtle of all initiations wherein you are able to stand apart from
the. personality that you wear and apart also from the soul that you have
created through ages of misuse of life, and measure honestly the motivating
power behind your action and prepared action.
Grace contains within itself a true abiding love for God, a love
that is in the feelings and not on the lips or in the mind of the outer
consciousness; a love for God that cognizes in feeling that ONE in dignity with
God is a majority over all human creation and all disturbing appearances, and
love and reverence for the Divine Hierarchy who through the mercy of the law
have passed through the veil of maya created by mankind and who stand before you
time and time again, giving of their love and Their life to help you to redeem
those energies that have been distorted and to set you free from that karma that
you have created through the misuse of free will; a love for your fellowman in
distress, for the animal kingdom and elemental kingdom and all imprisoned life,
even so-called inanimate objects that is a part of Grace.
Discrimination indispensable
Grace contains within it discrimination, discretion, the capacity to
cognize the Truth and to cognize and reverence Divinity's Presence in your
midst, and to cognize also the petty outer consciousness of those with whom you
must deal in your capacities as Sanctuary and Group Directors, and in your
family and business associations, the discretion to cognize the Holy Christ
Selves within them, and to place where it belongs, in the Violet Transmuting
Flame, all of those petty differences of every kind.
Grace contains within it illumined faith in the power of God to
render service to all life everywhere, knowing that the Father and Mother God
who created you and everyone of the individualized beings using this Earth as a
planetary home, certainly wished for you and yours, and all of mankind, the very
best, he created you, my beloved ones, in his own Image, in his very Likeness,
endowed with the magnificent Immortal Three-fold Flame which beats the heart of
the White Fire being from whence came forth your Electronic Presence and from
whence then came forth your Holy Christ Selves around which was coalesced the
beautiful forms that you wore when you, either as holy innocents; or as
protectors from other stars, came first to the planet Earth and chose to use her
as your Hostess.
When I came to beloved Mary, as I promised to do before the birth of
Jesus, it was possible for me to give confirmation to her and strength to her in
the time when she required it most, because she was, despite all of the personal
aggravations, in a state of listening Grace! All through her blessed life she
remained so, and so I could easily say, "Hail! Thou Mary, filled with Grace"! So
say I now to you, guardian spirits from other stars, human beings belonging to
this Earth, imprisoned angels, elevated elementals, "Hail, children, be thou
filled with Grace"! May the great Mother Mary herself so imbue you with that
Grace that you, feeling it, KNOW the comfort that abides within It.
Beloved ones, all men and women unascended seek confirmation of
Truth but mostly they seek it through phenomena. Some of the earnest and sincere
students who have made the pass-over at Easter time into the New Era of dignity,
reverence and beauty can understand that phenomena in itself is not a lasting
confirmation for your faith in the Divine Beings who have lived, loved and
served you through the ages, for the outer mind, the human consciousness is a
very unsettled entity.
Flames and Rays versus Phenomena
The greatest phenomena performed will not convince the soul of the
tilt efficacy of the divine powers to act, but the cosmic directed flames and
rays called forth, in the Name of anyone of the Cosmic Beings and the Ascended
Masters and CHARGED silently when discretion indicates, audibly when
discrimination directs, will FILL the feelings and world of any lifestream who
chooses to experiment with the powers of Invocation that are held within the
consciousness of my beloved Brother Zadkiel, beloved Holy Amethyst, the beloved
Ascended Master Saint Germain and the blessed Portia.
The power of these rays and flames is for the purpose also of
establishing upon this Earth again the pristine purity and perfection which It
knew before the first Manu and holy innocents came forth, until that holy
immaculate concept for this planet Earth is re-established through the
self-conscious endeavors of those embodied, disembodied, and awaiting
embodiment, who century after century have despoiled the perfection of this
sweet planet, this planet into which Helios and Vesta and the great Elohim and
Archangels and the Hierarchy have poured so much love, and which Sanat Kumara in
all his love saved from dissolution by an exile long and in patience.
Be ready to meet Saint Germain!
When Helios and Vesta draw this planet closer to their Hearts, pray
God that all those who have been released from the compound and the sleepers'
realm, all those who are not yet fully accepting even the reality of the
Ascended Master Kingdom, may have the assistance of the God Pelleur and whoever
is in embodiment who chooses to take upon themselves a portion of this
impersonal karma, and may be so accelerated that they too move forward and enjoy
Freedom's Holy Star.
Pray God that when the veil of maya is dissolved and your Lord and
King Saint Germain and his Goddess Portia stand forth in the atmosphere, that
you are ready emotionally, mentally, etherically and physically, and that you
can face this great and gracious Son of Heaven who has loved you so long, served
you so faithfully and trusted you beyond all human powers to describe. May you
look upon him and hear those words, "Well done, my good, my faithful child". It
is worth centuries of endeavor, not alone one short life, to be received by your
Master and know that you have done your best.
Measure not your light against the light of another
Remember beloved ones, that each ones best is not the same. The
developed capacities and powers of each lifestream is determined by the star,
the planet, the system, the sun to which they belong, by the service that they
have rendered at inner levels, and by what they have done with life, personality
after personality, embodiment after embodiment and in-between embodiments as
well. Therefore, measure not your light against the light of any other man, but
measure your light silently when you are at home, in a period of introspection
and retrospection.
Your light living in the chalice of your heart, your light, the Holy
Christ Flame itself expanding through you, is all that you will be judged by
when you leave this earthly sphere and stand before the Karmic Board. As that
Flame expands, as your aura becomes more beautiful have you left behind you a
trail of light and a beam of light for those following after you? THINK ON IT!
For one day, each one unascended, shall so stand, shall face his Sponsor, shall
face the Karmic Board, shall face their God! You will take nothing with you but
the records in your etheric garment and your soul and the light that you have
expanded from within your heart! When you bring in your sheaves, beloved ones,
you are stripped of personality; you are ONE in a long line of those who come
into the Halls of Karma and stand before that august Body. The knowledge you
have received in this earth life alone and that which you have done with it, is
measured and carefully.
You are in the era of using the Law
As Master after Master has said to you, many are those who feel
remorse after the lifespan is closed; many are those whose tears have flowed as
they say, "it might have been". NOW you are in the Era of performance according
to your teaching in the past; you are in the Era of using the law and your
God-given discrimination in expanding your light in whatsoever way and means
life directs you to. You have in your hands and use already enough substance of
the Truth to illumine an entire planet as well as yourselves.
Remember beloved ones, dispensations come and they go! Cosmic
moments strike and then they are over! Even Jesus Christ himself was under that
Law wherein and whereby after the three years of his cosmic ministry he was
invited and directed to return to the Father's Home. He made that Ascension
which you have read about and heard about, both in your Gospel and in the
manifold expression, prepared and released under the auspices of our beloved
Morya.
I Am a Messenger, that means I Am a servant
I AM a Messenger of the Lord; that means I AM a servant of the Law.
Any unascended lifestream wheresoever they may be, if they honestly and
sincerely be consecrated to God's service, are the servants of the Law of Loves
Think on it.
I send to you today, the full directed power of my capacity to hold
the immaculate concept for each and everyone of you, for your groups, your
families, your loved ones and affairs. Accept it, use it, and help us, oh
Children of Earth - HELP US in this great and magnificent hour of opportunity,
the redemption of the Earth, Its people and all imprisoned life. Make it a
platform of dignity and beauty of the Ascended Master Saint Germain and all
succeeding generations. Thank you.
Archangel Gabriel
