Chapter 109

from Matthew end of Chapter Nine

(see below)

1: And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

7) And then he gave them each the Word of power, and said,
By this Omnific Word you shall cast spirits out, shall heal the sick and bring the dead to life again.

2: Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3: Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
 

4: Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5: These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

8) And you shall go not in the way of the Assyrians, nor Greek; you shall not go into Samaria;

6: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7: And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

9) And as you go proclaim, The kingdom of Christ has come.

8: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9: Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10) You have abundantly received, and freely you shall give.
11) But you must go in faith; provide yourselves no crutch to lean upon.
12) Give all your gold and silver to the poor;

10: Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

take not two coats, nor extra shoes; just take your wands.

13) You are God's husbandmen and he will never suffer you to want.

11: And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

14) In every place you go search out the men of faith; with them abide until you go from hence.

15) You go for me; you act for me. They who receive and welcome you, receive and welcome me;

13: And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

16) And they who shut their doors against your face, refuse to welcome me.

14: And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

17) If you are not received in kindness in a town, bear not away an evil thought; do not resist.

15: Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

18) An evil thought of any kind will do you harm; will dissipate your power.
19) When you are not received with favor, go your way, for there are multitudes of men who want the light.

16: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

20) Behold, I send you forth as sheep among a pack of wolves; and you must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as the doves.

17: But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

21) In all your language be discreet, for Pharisees and scribes will seek a cause for your arrest in what you say.
22) And they will surely find a way by charges false to bring you into court.

18: And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

23) And judges will declare that you are guilty of some crime, and sentence you to scourgings and to prison cells.

19: But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak:

for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

24) But when you come to stand before the judge, be not afraid; be not disturbed about the way to act, the words to speak.

25) The Holy Breath will guide you in that hour, and give the words that you shall speak.

20: For it is not you that speaks, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

26) Of this be full assured; It is not you who speaks; it is the Holy Breath that gives the words and moves the lips.

21: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

27) The gospel that you preach will not bring peace, but it will stir the multitudes to wrath.
28) The carnal man abhors the truth, and he would give his life to crush the tender plant before the harvest time.
29) And this will bring confusion in the homes that were the homes of stagnant peace.
30) And brother will give brother up to death; the father will stand by and see men execute his child; and in the courts the child will testify against the sire, and gladly see its mother put to death.

22: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

31) And men will hate you just because you speak the name of Christ.
32) Thrice blessed is the man who shall be faithful in this coming day of wrath!

23: But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

33) Go now; when you are persecuted in a place, go seek another place.

34) And when you meet a foe too great for you, behold, the son of man is at your door, and he can speak, and all the hosts of heaven will stand in your defense.

24: The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

35) But do not hold your present life in great esteem.
 

25: It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

36) The time will come when men will take my life; you need not hope to be immune, for they will slay you in the name of God.

37) Men call me Beelzebub and they will call you imps.

Chapter 109

NOW, when the feast was finished, Jesus, with the foreign masters and the twelve, with Mary, Miriam and a band of loyal women who believed in Christ, went to a place apart to pray.
2) And when their silence ended Jesus said,
Be on your guard; the leaven of the Pharisees is being thrown in every measure of the meal of life.
3) It is a poison that will taint whatever it may touch; and it will blight the soul as sure as the fumes of Diabolos; it is hypocrisy.
4) The Pharisees seem fair in speech, but they are diabolical in heart.
5) And then they seem to think that thought is something they can lock within themselves.
6) They do not seem to know that every thought and wish is photographed and then preserved within the Book of Life to be revealed at any time the masters will.

26: Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

7) That which is thought, or wished, or done in darkest night shall be proclaimed in brightest day;

27: What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

8) That which is whispered in the ear within the secret place shall be made known upon the streets.

9) And in the judgment day when all the books are opened up, these men, and every other man, shall be a-judged, not by what they've said or done,

10) But by the ways in which they used the thoughts of God, and how the ethers of eternal love were made to serve;

11) For men may make these ethers serve the carnal self, or serve the holy self within.

28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:

but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

38) Be not afraid of what men say and do; they have no power over soul; they may abuse and may destroy the body of the flesh; but that is all.

39) They do not know the God who holds the issues of the soul within his hands, who can destroy the soul.

12) Behold, these men may kill the body of this flesh; but what of that? the flesh is but a transitory thing, and soon, by natural law, will pass;

13) Their slaughter only hastens nature's work a little time.
14) And when they kill the flesh, they reach their bounds of power; they cannot kill the soul.

15) But nature is the keeper of the soul as of the flesh, and in the harvest time of soul, the trees of life are all inspected by the judge;

16) And every tree that bears no fruit of good is plucked up by the roots and cast into the flames.

17) Who then shall you regard? Not him who has the power to kill the flesh, and nothing more.

18) Regard the mighty one who has the power to dissolve both soul and body in the flames of nature's fire.

19) But man is king; he may direct his thoughts, his loves, his life, and gain the prize of everlasting life.

20) And you are not abandoned in your struggle for the crown of life. Your Father lives, and you shall live.
21) God has a care for every living thing. He numbers stars, and suns, and moons;
22) He numbers angels, men and every thing below; the birds, the flowers, the trees;
23) The very petals of the rose he knows by name, and every one is numbered in his Book of Life;
24) And every hair upon your head, and every drop of blood within your veins, he knows by number and by rhythm.
25) He hears the birdling's call, the cricket's chirp, the glow worm's song; and not a sparrow falls to earth without his knowledge and consent.

29: Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

26) A sparrow seems a thing of little worth; yea, five of them are worth two farthings in the market place, and yet God cares for every one of them.

30: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

24) And every hair upon your head, and every drop of blood within your veins, he knows by number and by rhythm.

31: Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

25) He hears the birdling's call, the cricket's chirp, the glow worm's song; and not a sparrow falls to earth without his knowledge and consent.
26) A sparrow seems a thing of little worth; yea, five of them are worth two farthings in the market place, and yet God cares for every one of them.
27) Will he not care much more for you who bear his image in your soul?

32: Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

40) The Christ is king today, and men must recognize his power.

28) Fear not to make confession of the Christ before the sons of men, and God will own you as his sons and daughters in the presence of the host of heaven.

33: But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

41) He who loves not the Christ, which is the love of God, before all else, can never gain the prize of spirit consciousness.

29) If you deny the Christ before the sons of men, then God will not receive you as his own before the hosts of heaven.

34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35: For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36: And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37: He that loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

42) And they who love their parents or their children more than they love the Christ can never wear the name of Christ.

38: And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

43) And he who loves his life more than he loves the Christ cannot please God.

39: He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

44) And he who clings to life shall lose his life, while he who gives his life for Christ will save his life.

40: He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives Him that sent me.

41: He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42: And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

45) When Jesus had thus said he sent the twelve away by twos, and bade them meet him in Capernaum.
46 And they went out through all the towns of Galilee and taught and healed in spirit and in power.

30) And more I say, Fear not when men shall bring you up before the rulers of the land to answer for your faith.
31) Behold, the Holy Breath shall teach you in your hour of need what you should say, and what is best left unsaid.
32) And then the Christines went again to teach the multitudes.
