Beloved Archangel Michael

(Excerpts from an Address of February 15, 1958)

"I AM" Michael, Servant of the Most High Living God, who has given me Being, individualization and opportunity to co-create in this planetary system, and in other planetary systems the Perfection of himself. "I AM" Michael, the Servant of your own Light, living to set imprisoned life free - wherever I may find it. "I AM" Michael, he who commands the Heavenly Hosts to stay within the atmosphere of this Earth and perform those Services under the Seven Rays which are the particular aspect of those Rays. "I AM" Michael who loves the God that made you; who loves the Angelic Host that serve with me; and who loves you, my children, all upon this planet Earth, and all that belong to this evolution. 

"I AM" Michael who offered to come of my own freewill, to guard and guide and protect the destiny of all the individuals belonging to this planet Earth. "I AM" Michael who accepted the greater responsibility, when the Earth became the schoolroom for the laggards of other systems and worlds, to protect the Faith within the hearts of men from every discordant appearance, and "I AM" to remain until the Earth's evolution is completely redeemed; until every imprisoned Angel, everyone of mankind, every Elemental, and every living thing knows full Freedom; for such is my Love for God; such is the motivating power of my Being; that Service to me is the only reason for being. That Service is now and always will be to return to God, in pure Perfection, that part of life which through freewill chose temporarily the paths that lead to discord and distress. 

It has been my joy, my privilege, and my honor through many, many ages to have guarded the Divine Spark which is the clothing of the Holy Christ Flame of the people who have used the Earth as a schoolroom, and to protect that Spark - breathing upon it my own Faith, my own Love and Light, sustaining that Spirit Spark within the soul so that individuals would not pass through the second death. It is my endeavor now to expand that beautiful Flame within your hearts through the encouragement and the pressure of all Angels, Beings and Powers of the Temple of Faith as well as my own conviction and feeling of the power of Faith in the Goodness of God. 

There is no self-conscious intelligence that does not have Faith; but it is where, one places his Faith, through his attention through the use of his own free will, which determines what shall act in his world and in his affairs. 

"I AM" determined, as the Quality of Faith is part of my own lifestream, to disconnect the Faith that mankind has placed in discordant and limiting appearances, and to CONSCIOUSLY connect the Faith of every lifestream, whether they are in embodiment or to come here in the future, to the power of God Almighty as the ultimate redeeming, restoring and gracious Father (their own "I AM" Presence). 

Beloved ones, FAITH is a tender feeling, True Faith is one of the Graces. You think of it in terms of power because I, myself, wield much power on the First Ray, but I want you to think of Faith in the terms of Grace for a moment - that wonderful tender Faith in the Power of the God who made you, the Immortal Three-fold Flame within your heart that keeps your physical body alive as well as those of us who represent the great White Brotherhood to assist in the redemption of the evolution of this Earth. 

I ask you for your Faith given unto you to place where you want it. As a friend from the Temple of Faith, I reach forth my hand to you and I ask you for your Faith that the Power of the Elohim, the Archangels and the mighty Chohans is greater than any and every human limiting appearance. If I could have a dozen life-streams whose Faith was given consciously to me and not withdrawn again at the first intimation of distress in the outer world, through the power of contagion, that Faith could be radiated through the entire human race. 

Your Faith is a tender and beautiful feeling. Its use is a gift of free will which I ask you to give to me, and I, in return, will give to you the full-gathered Cosmic Momentum of all of my Faith, gathered through experiences wherein I have seen discordant vibrations changed into harmonious ones by the use of the power of God Life. Is that not a fair exchange? You give to me your Faith, and I will give you mine! Sometimes your Faith in the All-power of God, the Universal "I AM" Presence, does waver. Make it a practice, in such times of extremity, to stop when fear and distress arises in your feelings, to consciously offer to me your Faith! 

BACK ON THE VERY BEAM OF YOUR ENERGY WILL FLOW MY POWER of the Cosmic Faith in God's Goodness to you!
