Aka is
here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is Ray?”
Soul Ray
stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need. And we shall answer in this manner. Glory
be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children.
And we shall
say unto thee this parable, the parable of the three fields.
All of
these fields laid within the same valley. One of the fields belonged to a
farmer who worked very hard, but did nothing to replenish the ground; he only
took from it. The other farmer took from the ground and put back, therefore,
into it. The third farmer was lazy and did nothing with their land. He seemed
that he would plant just a few things, enough for him to eat, and that was all.
The rains
would come, and the sun would shine, and the years did pass. And the first
farmer’s land became barren and useless. And he stood before the land and
before his neighbors and did damn God. And he said unto his neighbor, “I do the
same work as you, the same and more work than this shiftless one. Why should
you two always be able to take from the land, and my land will bear no more?”
The one who
put back into the land that he had taken, said unto him, “The Lord, our God,
made us equal, and you have had an equal opportunity to place back into the
soil that which you have taken from it. You have deplenished [depleted] the soil of its nutrients.
The third farmer
said, “Since your land is no good, I shall give you one half of my land, and
take half of your bad land.”
The other
farmer said, “I shall do the same.”
And so the
three farmers went about their business, each prospering in their own way.
And the
man, the first farmer, took back his damnation from God. But it was not long
until he had committed the same sin unto the land. And he did come forth into
his neighbors’ and damn God again.
And his neighbors said unto him, “Then I shall trade you
back the land.”
And they did so. And he took back his damnation unto the
Lord.
And then,
the second neighbor dug a well and brought forth abundance of water, that
during times of drought that he may water his land.
And the
first neighbor said, “You must share this with me.”
And he
looked into him and he said, “Drink that which you wish, but I shall not give
you my water to plant your land.”
The third
neighbor said unto him, “Dig your well, and I shall help you.”
But instead, he did give damnation unto the Lord. The land
-- now he was back unto his original land -- they had shared and shared again.
Yet he learned not from the ways of the Lord and the ways of nature. And so he
did leave the valley.
And as time passed, the one neighbor who worked quite hard
bought the land for taxes. It was not long until this land too plenished. But
he went to his neighbor who planted little, and said unto him, “We have been neighbors
for a long time. Why do you not buy one half of this land?”
The
neighbor said unto him, “I do not need it. I have the land I want. I’ve always
had the land I want.”
He said, “What
do you mean, you have traded back and forth with this other neighbor, who
damaged the land?”
And this
neighbor laughed unto him and said, “I plant that which I need, knowing full well
that by planting that which I need, the Lord has provided for me. For you
seek the material things upon the earth. I seek the spiritual things upon the
earth. Would you trade me?”
The other
neighbor thought upon this. And each day as he gave thanks unto the Lord, he
decided that he would go about his work, but in the evening he would go and
talk to his neighbor. And he went to his neighbor and he said, “I shall not
stop planting my fields, nor replenishing the fields, but I need to know of the
spiritual substance you speak of that has given you such strength.” And so they
talked long.
And the
next year, the farmer who [grew] very little grew more. And the farmer who grew
and put back into the land, his land did seem the harvest was greater.
The third year
the farmer who grew very, very little grew even more, until all of his land was
planted.
And so his
neighbor came unto him and said, “You have taught me much.”
And the
other neighbor said unto him, “You
have taught me much, for [I] have learned from you the value of planting land
and reaping a harvest.”
And the other
said unto you [him], “Yes,
but you have taught me the spiritual meaning of the harvest.” He said, “Take
one half of this land that I took from the first neighbor for taxes.”
And the
other farmer said unto him, “Nay, for one day our neighbor shall come back. And
should we not give him back the land?”
This was great puzzlement unto his
friend.
And one day the farmer did come
back, and did offer to buy the land.
And the
second farmer said unto him, “I will sell you the farm on one condition, that you learn from the third farmer of the spiritual
substance that is needed in all men, and you learn from me how to place back
into the land.”
And so he agreed to these terms.
At first he went grudgingly to the
third neighbor’s home. And he went grudgingly each day to learn how to place back into the land. But as the
year passed, and a new harvest came forth,
there was no more grudgery within him. And he said unto his neighbors, “How
could have God forsaken me all this time and not given me this knowledge?”
And the two neighbors said unto him,
“God has not forsaken you, even when you damned Him, and profaned Him, for He
has walked with you all the way. And He did bring you back here, and all these
things you have learned is because of God.”
He left
them.
And for a week they could hear him working, but they could
not see what he was doing. And then he came unto them, and he said, “Would you
come to my house for worship?” And so their families went unto the house to
worship. And there he had built an altar, and he said unto these words, “I am
God, and God is I.”
We have told
you this story to answer in the minds of more than one a question.
And now we
shall answer fully in the mind of one. If your desire is to go forth, and
finish your schooling at this time, we shall go with you and find a way that
shall be satisfactory to yourself and your soul. But it is your decision. We
may only suggest.
And we shall say unto [1-1-5] and [1-1-3], glory be the name of the Lord. And glory be those who have faith in the
Lord, our God. But we say unto you, we shall give healing where it is needed,
as you have asked, and it has been asked. But smile.
You have other questions, ask.
“Yes, Aka. I have a question from [12-412-1…Long Beach,
California]. She asks, ‘How soon should we consider moving from California, and
where?’ And then she also says, ‘I pray to awaken to more understanding to be
of more service to others.’”
We will say, in a two-year period the foundation that you
seek should be built well. A way has been opened. Seek out this way, and the
knowledge you seek shall lay before you. As we said before, the whole valley
has been laid before you.
You have
other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. I
have a question from [12-412-2…El Paso, Texas]. And she says, ‘Will we be able
to sell our property soon?’”
Yes. We see thy need, and we shall answer your question. It
shall come within a two-month period of time.
You have other
questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [12-413-3…El
Paso] asks, ‘Will I regain my full health, my heart problem; will it be healed?’”
Yes. The healing you have sought shall
be given. You have other questions, ask.
“Aka, [12-412-4…Whitewater, California] asks, ‘In
Jesus’ name, I pray you for good health, to be able to be useful and helpful as
long as I live. I would like also to know what planet I am originally from. Thank
you.’”
Earth. The mother of all planets.
Yes, we see thy need, and we shall
answer in this manner. All that God places before you He places for a time, to
fill your need, to take you one step closer to your own, made destinies. There
are those who think they have been cast down, when the truth is they’ve only
been cast upward.
We say that wars and rumors of wars
are about you. And sometimes your politicians play foolish games. We say unto
you, bind together. Love one another.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
