Lord, have mercy upon us. Make us aware of our function in Your scheme of things. Use us, Father-Mother God, for Thy purposes. Make us aware of the blueprint of Jesus the Christ and bring forth from each and every one of us that love, that duty, to our fellow man, our fellow sister, brother and child as Jesus the Christ showed us the way. And we ask in the name of Jesus the Christ for Your help and Your light.

Peace to the brethren. Light and Mercy. Walk in faith and in comfort for the word is at hand and there is light in the darkness. Behold the light. Behold the way and the truth shall make you free. Hear the word. Hear the spirit. Her the song of songs. For He is present.
Faith will make thee whole. The comfort is in He who has trod the path, that knows the ways of mankind, that has walked in the same path that you have walked, that has walked in the path that you must walk, that knows the feeling of humanity, the feeling of being, that knows that which it is to be of this plane. Therefore, find comfort in that which is the light, the love of the man who became the Christ.
James 2:1
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
S Jesus the Christ, Lord of Lords, as has often been given, lived the lives of man, knew the ways of man; hence, knows your feelings, your trials, your discomforts, your tribulations, your joys, your happiness, your dreams. Therefore, see each and every individual, even as the Christ sees you, as that which is the shadow of self, that which is self in another form, that which is your past and that which is your present.
James 2:2-4
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, “Sit thou here in a good place;” and say to the poor, “Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:” Are ye not partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
S The one who wears the gold, the one who wears the shimmering cloth of the time, this is the one that speaks of power, of the latest fashion; hence, is the material world, the world of the mind, the world of desire, the world of physical and mental comfort, as found in the basis of wealth and power, of satisfaction as the world in general sees satisfaction to be. The world that is dedicated to this sees those who are truly and genuinely of the spirit as poor, as soiled, as below themselves or in that area that would be seen as beyond the perimeter of the fellowship of desire, carnal instincts, selfish pride, ego pride, the material mind.
James 2:5
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
S As given, the poor are those who are seen, at that moment especially, to be those without the power, the wealth, the material comforts as espoused by the material-mental being. But it also incorporates those that are truly poor in spirit that need and will turn to a comforter, a comforter of the spirit and of the spirit-mind, rather than the mind-material-physical. It is only the poor that can be enriched; for this is the law. If you are rich, you cannot be enriched. If you are poor, you may be enriched. Therefore, the rich may be only humbled or made poorer, as they see it to be, which, in a paradox, becomes richer because they have been poorer.
James 2:6-7
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
S What more can be added to this? If you walk in the ways of the Christ, you are named names and abused. For there is a discomfort in those who have the riches of this world, the power of this world, or the ways of this world. For in themselves they know the insecurity of which they live and it is known within themselves that they have a soul and that soul knows that they are imprisoned by chains of the material world.
James 2:8-9
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
S There is but one law and that law is love. There is but one love and that is God. Therefore, follow that which is as Jesus the Christ and walk His way. There cannot be the spiritual discomfort, for in the end it is only the spirit that counts. For, once again, this world is the illusion, this world does not exist in the mind of God, though the Christ knows this world, the Holy Spirit knows this world. God the Creator knows it not, for it has that which is not of God but by the making of mankind’s minds. There is this place that dwells only in sanctity or in safety through the Christ and through the Holy Spirit.
James 2:10-11
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, “Do not commit adultery,’ said also, “Do not kill.” Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
S In the end there is only the law of the spirit, as given, the law of God. And the law of this plane has clearly been given and until that time that you meet those standards you cannot abide in the kingdom of heaven. For to fulfill nine of the ten laws is not to fulfill the soul. Remember, what you think, you are; how you act, you are. Whether it be that which you would have as a skin to show others and really not of the mind within you, or the spiritual mind complex, you are that. Until that time that you show to others what you are inside, you are not living by the word of the law. It is given that the greatest transgressor of your world is your tongue. Then begin by taming the tongue and using it only for that which is the glory of God, for the use of the spirit dedicated to the Christ and founded by the Holy Spirit – will you then be on the way.
James 2:12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
S Liberty is freedom. Freedom is the word and the word shall make you free. Study thyselves to be approved by Jesus the Christ, that you may glorify, in your turn, God the Father, God the Mother.
James 2:13
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
S In the end you are the judge of yourself, and Christ is the judge of your spirit. And mercy comes from God in the form of the Christ and the Christ’s mercy is grace. And grace will alleviate that which is the earthbound spirit that you are, which, in the end, frees you and gives you that which is your choice, the activity that is God, the force that is the Creator, the love that is the Holy Spirit, and you are then in the realm that you were created to be.
James 2:14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?
S If you have faith, true faith, you have the works. For the works and true faith go hand in hand, even as the example as Jesus the Christ who had the faith, who had the works. And yet, there are those who say they have the faith or have developed a faith of sorts, and yet have not developed the works. Without the works they are not whole. They are the body without the heart, the nervous system without the brain; they are the body without the blood. In short, incomplete and, in truth, functionless.
Q Were you just describing people who do works without faith?
S This is correct, although faith without works is the example, is that which is the same as works without faith – incomplete, nonexistent in the end.
James 2:15-16
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, “Depart in peace,” be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
S And the true body is the spiritual body and until you may feed your own true body that your brothers, your sisters may benefit (and this is the key), there is no glory to God, there is no exaltation of the spirit, there is no true work. Therefore, faith, faith – true faith – releases unto others that which is the spiritual nature of yourself that they may feed themselves upon your acts. For as you act, you are.
James 2:17-18
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, “Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”
S You can do no less than to show your faith by your works. There are many that talk much and do little. And yet, there are many who talk little and do much, and there are others that talk much but their talk is that of the spiritual nature and they also do much. Of the three the latter is that which you must become soon.
James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
S In the heart of those who do without faith, and so often these are the charitable organizations, the political organizations, the political philosophies, the government sources, what have you, (that) are the devils, for they do that which is without faith. Much are they applauded for that which they do. And yet, they tremble for they know inside of themselves (and even as bureaucratic entities, they know; even as government bodies, they know) that without faith they have nothing. Their works are not of this spiritual plane but of this material plane.
Q Would you elaborate a little more on what this group must be doing soon, as far as talking much and also having great works?
S This group will be given or must make, or take, Obsen’s choice, or Hobson’s choice, by your understanding, at that time which will be the Epiphany or that which is the true birthday of the Prince of Love. Hobson’s choice will be of that of this material, you see. It is the time for this group, this channel, to make the real progress, the real move within that which is the works to be done in this time, this place.
James 2:20-24
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
S Jesus the Christ’s ultimate act of faith was the nails driven into the flesh upon that which was the cross. By His mercy, by His love, you are exempted from the same. Your lack of faith, your lack of works, redrives those nails into Jesus the Christ. Daily this is done over and over and over. If you have mercy and faith within your soul, within your mind, within your realm, within the command of yourselves, you will show mercy to Him that has shown mercy to you by preventing those nails to be driven through the flesh spiritually and physically and mentally into the Prince of Love. You will relieve that which is the Lamb of its distress. Hence, make thy works works of faith; make your faith as works for Him. Thus, you will glorify God and bring joy into that which is mercy, that which is the light, and you will find, lo and behold, you will find that your faith has made you free.
Q Is it possible for us to understand this? It’s appalling.[re the daily crucifixion of Jesus Christ]
S This is correct. Little by little those that find the life, those that find the light, realize the sacrifice made in your behalves. Saint Francis (as you would call him) of Assisi learned this lesson; others have learned this lesson. It is a jolt. It is a tearing of the spirit – yes, of the spirit. It is a destruction of the ego. It is a recreation of the idea of the Christ and of Jesus. Hence, you have been given that which is the choice to come, at that time, concerning these readings.
James 2:25-26
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
S Confuse not this Rahab with that of the Rahab in Isaiah [5l:9], but turn to that which is Matthew [l:5] and you will see what is happening here. Faith! By giving to that which are those that come into you – these are the thoughts, these are the Israelis, these are those that have come to you to enlighten you and free you then from the prison that you are in – even as Rahab did. Thence, as Rahab believed, the Israelis then conquered and because of the faith that Rahab had in that which came into her, she and those of hers were spared. Whereas the Rahab of Isaiah represents that which is the crocodile of Egypt, that which would tear and render and destroy and consume. And this is the world without faith.
