Jesus…..findeth
Philip and says to him "follow
me"
John
2.43
When will all men and women
of good intent realise and
understand that they are
already in the way if they
are seriously set on serving
the cause of love and self-giving?
They are already found of
the Father; and Our Holy
Spirit enlightens and empowers.
So there should be confidence
in the soul of those who
are committed to the way,
though this confidence must
never give way to complacency.
This can never happen in
those who continually submit
themselves to the Father's
loving purpose, which is
dynamic, demanding, searching
as well as fulfilling. Before
I set out for Galilee at
the beginning of my ministry
on Earth I sought out Philip
to accompany us in the work
we were given to do. Philip
was a seeker after truth,
faithfully obeying The Law
as he understood it, committed
to serve the Heavenly Father
and His fellow men. So he
was sought out for life
and work with Me and with
the band of My Disciples
; and his place in the Kingdom
of the Father, designed
before the beginning of
time was, assured as he
toiled and witnessed, faithfully
followed and suffered in
the way. So it is with every
single one the Father's
committed faithful children.
The way is assured for the
true of heart of all races,
faiths, and nations. Philip
is every man and every woman
and every child who perseveres
in the way. And I am present
at the heart of the centre,
Our Holy Spirit continually
enlightens and empowers
in all things needful at
all stages. Let this bring
encouragement and joy.
