This year, before the 29th Annual Meeting to be held on June 10 and 11, 2000, we share with you some of the messages by the spiritual messengers of God on the preparation for the coming of the Messiah, and their guidance given over the months before the first Annual Meeting. It is our hope that their words will touch your hearts and also help you truly know what the Annual Meeting is about, who comes, and who is inviting you to come.

A grand planetary alignment, May 5-17, 2000, came 28 years after the first Annual Meeting, May 10, 1972. Did Aka, the spiritual messengers of God, speak of this alignment of the planets in their Christmas message on December 17, 1971? Maybe Aka's words so long ago are a reminder to all members that this is a special meeting this year, an important one to note and to come to, "for those who are wise to hear," as Aka says.

"For he has been born upon the earth. " And Aka said in October 1981 that "he has reached his 13th birthday." This means that he is now 31, the age that Jesus became known as he began to minister publically.

Could this Annual Meeting of 2000 be a time for the birth of the Messiah in all who come, all who will receive this spiritual and loving gift from God? "For we are here to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah, and this, in itself, is the preparation of both your soul, your spirit and the immortal body of the same," the spiritual messengers of God said January 23, 1972.

"Open the door that we may enter, and therefore, there can be a place prepared with you, each of you, for his coming."

"New words shall be written upon the sky, but they must be written in men's hearts first."

"For those who have eyes to see, let them see, and for those who have ears to hear, let them hear."

The spiritual messengers of God said, December 17, 1971: As thy reach the time of the year that thy should celebrate the birth of the one known as Jesus Christ, we should say unto thee these words, for as a gift was given once before, so it should be again. But we should tell thee of the words and of the birth.

For, as we have said before, for God gave of His first begotten son; and as He did give of Adam, so He begot of the same into this one known as Jesus. And yet, he did say unto man for man to know of heaven, so he should know of earth.

Then we say unto thee, hark, and [get] these words. For the wise to listen, let them listen; for the wise to see, let them see. For as we have said before, we have come not to prove to you that we are great; we are but the servants of God. And as it was so in another time, we did come upon the earth and prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah, and this we do so again unto mankind. But as your time is a different time, so it should be done in a different way. But the glory of God upon your earth shall be the same. For He says to His children, "Hark, and prepare a way that I may rest My head upon your earth."

Then we say unto thee, as the time grows near when you should celebrate the birth of a before time, prepare that way within thy hearts and souls. Prepare the way that, as before when he walked by the sea of Galeah [Galilee], and therefore, called unto his brothers, and they did come and walk with him, and as he did say unto them, "Come and I should teach thee to catch men," and so it was. But he brought unto this earth love for all, for he could not see the difference in man's skin, for he looked only into their souls.
And as he came in five places upon your earth, it shall not be again. But he should come unto all races as one.

And as once before, your planetary system was posed to give forth the light of birth of a savior unto your earth, so it shall be again.

But we say unto thee, thy can destroy nothing; therefore, build upon what already exists of the same. It is not necessary that a man should call himself a Christian. It is not necessary that he call himself Mohammed, Ishmael. Nay, these are not important.
It is what is in his heart, his true love for his God; these are the things that shall be counted.

And therefore, we say unto thee, as thy celebrate the birth, stand beneath the cross and count the drops of blood unto the same, and thy shall know the true meaning of this word you call love.

But be not sad. Rejoice unto the same, for thy Lord has not forgotten thee, for this day shall come again. Then let your teardrops flow with joy unto the Lord.

Eight bodies in our solar system, the Earth, moon, sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, almost formed a line for several days in May of this year. On May 5, 2000, they came closest to forming a straight line. Although the inner six planets align about every 50 to 100 years, the configuration of these eight bodies is more rare. They lined up in a somewhat similar fashion in 1962, and won't do so again until 2438, according to NASA scientists. Whether this alignment of planets, the sun and moon was similar to what the wise men of the scriptures, probably Zoroastrian astrologers, saw around the time of the birth of Jesus is unknown. But many wonder in awe and ask, does such a rare alignment hold a special meaning for us? Is there a message in the stars for the wise to see?

"Aka, you have spoken of the Star of Bethlehem, I believe. When the Messiah comes, will it be at the time that this star comes again, about 1998?"

Yes, we see thy need, and if all is in preparation for the same, and if we have accomplished our mission upon your earth, then all shall be in readiness. If we do not accomplish, then there shall be 300 years of darkness and bloodshed upon your earth. For remember, the last shall be first....

Yes, we see thy need, and therefore, we should answer in this manner. For as we have said before, upon this rock shall flow a brook, and this brook shall be as the spirits of God. And from the brook should flow a river, and this river should be as the spirits of man. And from this river should flow an ocean that should be as the souls of man. But remember, God's spirit flows through all, and therefore, flows though all the lands, and all the universes, all your galaxies.

But as we have said before -- there shall be many who should not have but coin enough to buy but one loaf of bread. Let them buy of it, and pray upon the same, and we should turn thy water into wine, and we should make of thy bread into yeast, and therefore, should feed the multitudes of the same. All thy must possess is the faith of God. And the faith, if it be so small into the smallest creature of the earth, this should be answered.

"And we shall say again, for, hark...."

January 1, 1972: And we shall say again, for, hark, for those who have ears to listen, and for those who have faith, both in themselves and in God, our Father, let them bring the bread that is needed. And the bread shall be the body of the same. And let them pray over it and ask for healing of the same, and the healing shall be given. For, as we have said before, we shall furnish the wine that is needed, and we shall turn the bread into yeast, that the healing may grow outward and inward. From this day forward, your medical readings shall not be needed, for those who come in faith shall be given the healing that is needed....

We see...the needs of the group, and we shall say, yes, upon this. We should change but one thing. Thy instrument shall be called of "the prophet" of the same.

Ray Elkins smiles before returning to healing other people in 1974 in Phoenix, Arizona. He always preferred simply to be called an instrument.

We see thy other needs, and the needs of the financial of the same, and we would say unto thee in these words, as we have said before. For as in the beginning we did say unto thee these words, the material things that shall be needed for this work shall come unto thee as they are needed. But ask of thy needs, not of thy wants. For within thy group, as things are needed, pray upon them, and we shall see that they are provided.

We have given unto those who should believe and have faith the help that is needed, both of the material things and the spiritual things. But as we have said before, we ask but one thing in return, we are here to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah; let this flow outward, and let the spirits of Aka enter into thy minds, that we may guide thee. For all thy must do for our presence to be with thee is but ask....

Thy have other questions, ask.

"Yes, Aka, only for the sake of clarification for others not present here. But I believe it is clear that you mean the Articles of Incorporation are acceptable, except you would like our instrument termed "the prophet;" is this correct?"

Yes....

Now we should say unto thee, provide for a guidance book for thy ministry. These things should come in this form: preparation for meditation, the difference between the prayer and the meditation of the same, a time for listening unto our Lord, a time for speaking unto the same; the manner unto which we have prescribed before of giving unto the marriage vows between man and woman; the manner unto which thy should give up thy dead unto thy Lord that thy may help in the preparation for the changing of the two worlds, that thy may give guidance that they might see our Father's light.
The Minister's Book was written from guidance given by the spiritual messengers of God in 1973 and before. It contains instructions for the ministers given January 7, 1972, for marriage vows; words of baptism given January 15, 1972; guidance for assistance in passing and a burial service given January 21, 1972; and the minister's vows given January 28,1972; and other guidance for ministers. A Teacher's Book was written later.

Thy have taken unto thyselves and brought the bread; we shall furnish unto thee the yeast of the same. Fear not, for as we have said before, upon this rock we shall build a mighty temple unto God, our Father.

For our Father says unto thee, "Hark, My children, for I love thee so."

And upon this day, our Father says unto thee, the glory of your God is upon thee, and those things that thy should ask in our Father's name should be given unto thee.

January 21, 1972: But we should say unto thee once again, we are not great. We are here as instruments of our Father. We are here but for one purpose, to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, and we should say unto thee, this should take many hands, and much love and tenderness, and we offer thee thy wine. If thy should decide to drink of the same and therefore become one of the many that stand before God, then we should speak unto thee at a different time. We may answer all of your questions that we are given permission to do so....

But we should say again, our Father has many mansions. There is food for all. Give unto thy Father one-tenth of the love that thy, our Father gives unto thee. Give unto thy brother in the same manner. Denounce no man, no religion, and their beliefs unto the same. Understand the way they should believe. Give of this wine in the same manner. Those who should reject it, do not denounce them for it, but praise them, but take of this and go unto the next. And if this is accepted, go into their house and drink of their wine and their knowledge and let them drink of your knowledge in the same manner.

January 23, 1972: For as we have said before, we shall allow no one from either side to interfere with this work, for we are here to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah, and this, in itself, is the preparation of both your soul, your spirit and the immortal body of the same.

January 28, 1972: As we have said before, hark, and hear these words....As meditation should be unto a time for listening to thy Lord, thy God, and thy Lord, thy God, should say unto thee, "Give unto each man that that is his," walk before our Lord in such a manner that thy come without hatred.

For in thy mind thy have thought of these words -- that as man is to live again and die again, and therefore, pass before our Lord -- then we say to thee, in the passing from one world into another, thy first thoughts will be the shock of knowing that little has changed. Thy body form shall remain much as it is in life; it shall be fed with what is known as cosmic energy in its purest form.

Many of you have thought unto see us. When we have made ourselves known unto you we have done so by making our form much as it was before. Our form, within itself now, is that of pure cosmic form, as you would know, pure light. And as we should pass among you, our speech in these times -- that we should choose not to speak through this, our prophet, but as we should choose to speak unto you -- we should do so in thought form. Many of you, as you should progress, should hear our voices as we should come forth with teachings of the same.

But upon the first plane of passing, your form should change, as we have said, but very little of what it is now. This form should remain very close unto the earth plane. Upon the second plane of rising, in this form you should have changed in such a manner that most of your prejudices are left behind. Even unto the plane of our time, you have the choice to return again for further learning upon the earth plane. There are many who should come unto the earth for birth again upon new missions from our Lord. This should be done in such a manner of birth, but thy shall have remembrance of where thy have been, and therefore, shall know from where thy are going. But even upon returning upon a mission thy have free will. If thy should decide not to remember of these things thy were sent to do, this is your choice, but it is also your choice to go backwards down the ladder.

There are many lessons that we should give unto thy knowledge. If, before your readings, you should think these things out, think of the questions that they need to know, plan them. Your knowledge shall grow with each reading. There are many questions of your universe; there are many questions of your after life. There are many questions of the knowledge of God, and as we have said before, a good Father hides nothing from His children. Thy have many questions, ask....

"4-5-70-003 has asked for healing, Aka." [Numbers are substituted for names to respect privacy.]

Yes, we see thy need, and the healing thy ask for shall be given. But we should say unto thee, tilt thy head in prayer to thy Lord and say after our words, "Lord of Isaiah, Lord of Moses, Lord of all, I ask thee, oh, Lord, unto healing into my body, my soul, my spirit and my immortal body. Cleanse my body, my soul, oh, Lord, cleanse my spirit and my immortal body. I promise thee, oh Lord, to try to walk in Thy light." In these words, the healing shall come.

And now we should say unto these words. The time grows near when those of thy group that have chosen for the ministry shall walk before our prophet and therefore be made unto ministers of this, our Father's work. And they should do so in this manner.
Each should walk before this one.

And this one should say unto them, "Should thee promise in our Father's light to teach these things our Father has given unto thee to teach?

"Should thee at no time be prejudiced against any man?

"Should thee at all times, for those who come in need, minister in both healing of the body, and healing of the soul, and the spirit and the immortal body of the same?"

And should they say, "Yes," then he should take of what thy should know of the candelabra, but this one should have seven candles. And each one who is chosen should be presented with this. And each time he should say, yes, one candle should be lit, and then unto another.

Those who should be chosen should be versed into the words we have spoken
unto thee.

They should have, be honest [in their] effort unto helping mankind.

And above all, they should enter all things with an open mind, closing their mind to nothing, and they shall never cease in their learning.

But you should remind them that the oath that they should take should be for thy lifetime upon this plane and all others.

And then thy should ask them, "Are you prepared to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah?"

And should they say, "Yes," then have them rise, and walk with them, and break bread with them and drink wine with them.

For remember, for those who you shall choose among you, nothing can be hidden from one another. All things must come in truth from God, for you shall walk in the light of God and should be known as men and women of God....

Think deeply of the knowledge that thy should use, for the questions thy should ask and the answe rs that thy should receive shall be passed on unto mankind. Make them wise.
Then we should say unto the youth of your group, fear not that thy should prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah. Thy have many questions; ask of these, for did our Father not say unto thee, "Blessed are all My children."

February 4, 1972: As we have said before, thy can destroy nothing, that all things, both good and bad, come from the same source, and as has been said before that both the rain and sunshine shall fall upon all. But as we have said before, we shall allow no one from either side to interfere with our work....There are many times that thy faith shall be tested, for this is the way of the Lord. And we say unto thee, stand firm and strong in thy belief in your Lord, your God....

As we have said before, we are here to prepare a way, and therefore, the disciples that have been chosen unto the same, they shall prepare a way. But first, they must prepare this way within themselves. As we have said before, our Lord, God, asks but two things of man, to love of Him into [unto] one-tenth of that that the Lord gives unto His children, to love unto his fellow man in the same manner.

But as thy turn the right cheek that has been struck, unto the left, and it has been struck also, then take the wisdom of God and place it in such a manner that it should speak truth. And in this manner, upon this rock shall flow the spirits of God, and from it should flow into the river, which shall be the souls of man, and from the river into the mighty oceans that should flow into all lands of your earth, and from there into the mighty galaxies and the mighty universes within themselves. For we are here to prepare a way, and so we shall. And we give this this warning unto these, the wrath of the Lord is mighty; do not stir this anger....

Thy have other questions, but first we should answer one other in this matter. Thy have asked, "Are thy Christians?"

And we should answer in this manner. You are the people and the children of God. And for all those, regardless of what word they should call themselves, who should bow before God and give reverence before the same, we have told thee before, do not confuse this one that is called, Jesus, the Christ, with your God. For he was put before man by God, and the Lord said unto this one, "Go into My people, go in pure form, give them unto My words for this time." And so he did unto which he was told; and he did give glory unto his Lord. And now we say unto thee, we give unto thee a new coveth for your time. But do not take away or destroy anything; this is to add to what you have already....As has been said before, we come not to change the prophecies, we come not to change the laws, but to show you the fulfillment of the same.

If one should ask thee, "What are thy called," tell them you are the people of God. Should they ask further, "Are thy Christian, are thy a Buddha, or are thy Mohammed[an]," say, "Yes, I and we are all of these."

Thy have many questions; ask of the same.
"Aka, the Yuma group asks, `During the baptism service what does the wine and the bread represent?'"

And we should answer in this manner. The wine would represent the soul of man, the bread should represent the spiritual form of God; and if man should eat of both, then forever there shall remain the spirit of man.
"What wine should be used, Aka?"
Take that of the wine that comes from the grape, and that of the grape that should come from either the white or the dark. It makes little difference, for the wine in itself means nothing unless the one who takes of it should know of what they are taking of, and therefore, within their heart and soul place it in its just place.
Thy have other questions, ask.

"Yes, Aka, is the Messiah to come the reincarnation of Jesus?"
When the proper time comes, our Lord should make of this, His plan, known unto us, and we should tell of thee this. But remember this, we can tell of thee nothing that our Lord, our God, our Father does not give unto us permission to do of the same, for our knowledge comes from Him who should know of all things.
Thy have other questions, ask.

"Yes, Aka. what does the seven-candle candelabra represent that we use in ordaining ministers?"
This should be used and, as we have said before, they are the seven spirits of God.

February 25, 1972: Then we shall tell thee again of the seven spirits of your Father, and of the coming of the Messiah of the same. For as we have said before, we were sent by those who should ask our Father to prepare the way for their coming. [See The Revelation 4:5, 5:1-10 and John 13:20, 14:16-21, 16:13-15.]

And as man did come into five places upon your earth in the beginning, so it should be unto the five spirits that should enter at the time of the coming of the Messiah into the same, for he shall not be of one spirit, but he should stand as the five of before [editor's note: Isaiah, Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed?] and as the seven spirits of our Lord should descend into the same, and so it shall be again, the twelve shall walk upon your earth, and then our Lord, God, should enter into this one and it should be of thirteen. [See John 1:10-18, 29-34; Acts chapters 1 and 2:1-28; and The Revelation 21:1-7, 22-24, 22:3-5.]

As we have said before, the chain has been broken many times by your peoples through your foolish acts unto the same. [See The Revelation 20:1-3.] But none should harm this one who should enter, for our Lord, God, shall be present in this one. And then shall come your thousand years of peace upon the earth, and each day should be as a thousand of your years, for they shall not be as you count, but as our Father counts. [See The Revelation, chapters 21 and 22.]

And as we have said before, the Hebrew people should bow before this one, for they should know that this is their Messiah in truth. [See The Revelation 14:1-5, 15:3-4, 19:1-9.]

For as we have said before, Lord of Isaiah, Lord of Moses, Lord of Jesus, Lord of Buddha, Lord of Mohammed, Lord of Ishmael, so it should be again. And we say, hark, unto thee for as the first coveth was given unto the Jewish people and they, in themselves, were the servants of God, and as the second coveth was given unto the one known as Jesus Christ, so it has been in many lands, in many tongues, for as the spirit has flown and walked upon your earth. But remember unto these words. The coveth that was given unto the one known as Jesus was given, not for the Jewish people, for they, themselves, had found their God, this was given that it may be given unto the world, of the same. And as the coveth was given into Buddha, this was given that that proportion of your world should know of him. And as it was given unto Mohammed, it was given that they should know of the Jewish God, of the Jesus God, and of your God. And now we say unto thee again, we have come to prepare a way, and therefore, give unto thee a new coveth, and this coveth shall go unto the world. But remember these words: destroy nothing, thy must build upon what is already there. And as we have said before, and the bird of the Great Pyramid shall therefore take wings again.

March 3, 1972: We see thy need, and therefore, should say unto thee in these words. You have now heard the cock crow three times, and therefore the time of the cock to crow is over. Pull yourselves together and stand as the children of God. [See John 13:36-38, 18:12-27.] We have seen the need to argue among thyselves. As has been said before, if thy right eye offend thee, cast it aside....

Yes, we see thy need, and therefore, we should say unto thee in these words. Thy have asked before from which we came, and we shall say unto thee in this manner. As soul Ray was reborn, and in this manner, so were we. For as has been said before, soul Ray is I, and I is he -- for as he prayed into his Lord for death, and this was given, but as he looked back upon his body, and looked into our Lord's eyes and knew that with the gift that was given he should return and give it unto others, but he had to give it in this manner with love, with compassion at all times. This word you use so often, yet know so little about, this small word of yours, "love." You cannot give it unless it is done freely, for in giving this, each step that thy take thy grow closer unto our Father. Can you understand of which we speak?

Nay, not fully, but the day shall come that thy shall -- and we speak these words not only unto the disciples that we have named, for we name you all disciples before God. But we have also given unto thy keeping a prophet, a man who should stand before God as he stands before you.

Thy have asked in thy mind, who should minister in your baptism, and who should minister in the sermons that are performed to each new minister? This shall be done through your prophet. We have worked long and hard to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah. And so shall you all.

Thy have asked in your minds, what are these who speak to us? And we shall answer in this manner. For those of the spirits who should enter and become one, and therefore, become your new Messiah and ours, have asked into our Lord to send those who stood beside them before to prepare a way, and we chose this one thy call thy prophet to work through as once before in the one thy know as John the Baptist. Give praise unto thy Lord, thy God, and our Lord, your Father [and] your God shall give praise unto His children, and they shall become mighty, both in heaven and earth. [See John 14.]

But remember, no man shall know of heaven that does not know of earth, and no man shall know of earth that does not know of heaven. But we say, hark, unto thee, why should you believe the words we speak of your earthly things, and not believe these things we speak unto thee of heaven, as thy would call it?

And they say, you say unto us, what are these who speak in this manner? Are they angels? Are they archangels? And we should say unto thee, these are words of yours. But we should answer in this manner, we stand in pure light before our Father and yours. We have found it necessary to speak in your tongue, of your language. But go forward, bear this yoke of love, and our Father shall reward into each of thee in thy own way.

March 10, 1972: And as we have said before, thy can destroy nothing, thy can build upon what is there but remember that the temple that thy build in is God's, and this is the body of man, the soul of man, the spirit of man, and the spirits of God that dwell therein.

March 17, 1972: "6-9-70-004 has asked if you can give us further information on the writing of our minister's book that she is working on?"
Yes, we see thy need and we should answer in this manner. Thy ask in thy mind, what is meant by the "life plane?" And we should answer in this manner. The life plane may be of one day, one hour, or it may be for a thousand years. Or it may be for never. These things must come from yourself, for none stands in judgement before you but that that dwells within yourself.

March 24, 1972: Yes, we see thy need, and therefore, should say unto thee in these words. There shall be rain, but not before the 24th day of your time of June, and this shall be slight. Thy shall have slight moisture from the Gulf of California. For the land shall become bare again. But we should say unto thee in this manner. As we have said before, this, in itself, can be changed, for as a group, through thy prayer, this can be changed. Bring thy group together, and give forth in thy prayer for the same....
And as the time for the cock to crow is over, let thy groups stand fast together as the children of God. Send into thy enemies good thoughts and leave thy trust in thy Lord, thy God. And for those who should oppose the coming of the Messiah, as stones they shall be cast aside as Lot, and arisen again from the sea, for as the daughters of Lot walked forward and did sanctify Abraham, and as God saw it was good and gave blessings upon the same....

And we should answer into all of those, and we shall leave these instructions unto the prophet of the same. As we have said before, the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. And in this manner, the last thing that this one should do in your ceremony, he should ask for a bowl and a towel, and unto each of these who should become ministers of the same [he] should wash of their feet.

April 1, 1972: Thy have asked, "Have I ever loved?"And we answer in this manner. For, once before, there was this one thy call of Jesus Christ, and as he stood upon the cross and as his brethren stood beneath and counted the drops of blood, one by one, and two by two, and three by three, they knew of this love he possessed for all. For remember, did he not say unto you, "I come not to change the prophecies, but to show you the fulfillment of the same; I come not to change my Father's laws, but to show you the fulfillment of the same." And did he not say unto those of the temple, "Destroy this of thy temple, and I shall rebuild it in three days." And then again, upon your third hour he died, as you would know it, for the body wilted and turned into dust. But from the dust rose another who had memory of where he had been and therefore knew of his duties before him.

Must you all be as Thomas? Think thee of the times of before. Think thee of the persecution within the temple. Shall you once again persecute this prophet unto which we have sent unto your keeping? Shall you cut again of his head? But we say unto thee these words, our Father does not ask of the Lamb of the blood, but only of this word thy use, only of the love of each of you....

Of this new state of consciousness, we see thy need, and therefore, as we have said before, we walk before thee and prepare a way. Fear not. Walk in the light of God, and we shall walk with thee. Have faith, and thy shall walk on the water with us....

We have come but for one purpose that, in itself, is the preparing of a way for the coming of the Messiah. If thy should take unto thyself this purpose, carry the torch before thee and light the way for others. We shall enter and give thee guidance.

April 7, 1972: Yes, we see thy need, and therefore, should answer in this manner. As your candelabra should stand as a symbol, as once before in the time of Moses, and therefore, be given unto each of your ministers of the same. But it should stand only as a symbol, for your Lord, your God, has asked but two things, that you love unto Him one tenth of the love that He gives unto His children.

April 14, 1972: And we say, hark....for thy have asked these words of communion into the same, and we should answer you in this manner. We are here to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. We do not ask from any of you other than the love of your God. And as we have said before, our Father has many mansions; therefore, you can destroy nothing, but you may build on what is already there. We have told into thee to take of the bread and the wine, for the bread shall be your soul and spirit, and the wine shall be that of our Father's, for as the body, the soul, and the spirit should come in completion of the immortal body of the same. And they asked of the wine; place this before each. If they choose to, let them partake of the same. But our Father does not ask for the blood of the Lamb, and the Lamb does not ask for the blood of man, for these things that belong to the earth also belong to our Father, for they were His in the beginning. And should the grape choose to become the wine for your offering, then the grape has seen fit to use of its free choice. And should the wheat of thy bread choose to come forth of its free choice unto your offering, and should our Father's children see to come forth of their free choice, and therefore, give up into our Father the offering of the same, this is their choice. But remember, this can be done anywhere, for this is between them and their God.

But as you should become ministers in the light of God, and therefore, speak of the words of God, this can be done unto your own people and those with free choice who come unto thee and ask. But as we have said before, go unto this house and knock. If they should bid you enter, drink of their wine, that they may drink of yours, but should they not, then take of this and go elsewhere.

But we should say unto all of the disciples of this work, give that that is God's to God, give that to your brother that is your brother's, but just as important, give that unto yourselves that is yourselves. But close your doors to no man, for we do not come to one people alone, but to all the people and all the children of God; therefore, give glory unto God and God should give glory unto all His children.

But mark these words, for those who have chosen to walk in the light of God and minister in the same manner, walk as a man and a woman of God. Be as a mirror into the same, for as we have said unto thee, for those who should see us, should see of our Father, and thine should be likewise in the same manner. Do no step backwards.

And now we should tell thee of a time soon to come, this, of your calendar, of May the 2nd of your year. And as we have said before, the fifth angel stands upon thy earth; he no longer slumbers, but he holds in his hand the mighty sword of God, that that should divide the people and the earth. And as we have said before, where no water flowed, water shall flow again. Where water flew, it shall not, for your earth shall start its change, and pray unto the Lord that it comes in your summer months....[See Matthew 24.]

We leave into [unto] all of thee these words. For the teacher should feel great and mighty in the eyes of man, but within their hearts, if they should stay humble in the eyes of God, and God shall make them great; but a student shall never become more than the teacher, and the teacher shall never become more than the pupil. But your time of learning has come forth, and the Great Pyramid and the bird of the Great Pyramid should take flight, for now we shall give thee the powers thy ask for.

April 17, 1972, Aka spoke to one who was to become a minister May 10, 1972, at the first Annual meeting: Yes, we see thy need. And as you have given honor unto your God, your God shall give honor unto you, and this honor shall be before men and women of the same. Fear not, for we walk before thee and guide thee, for thy have opened the door that we may enter. Thy have given unto the Lord that [that] is thy Lord's....
Then we shall answer in this manner. Fear not this word thy call communion. Do you think that we shall not be there and guide each footstep in its proper place? For we shall answer you in this manner, for you shall always remember the miracle of the candelabra.

The Miracle of the Candelabra

After the spiritual messengers of God had asked that the ministers light a seven-branched candelabra in saying their vows to God, one of the ministers-to-be, Dorothy Wright, was given the task of purchasing the candelabras before the first Annual Meeting, which was held on May 10, 1972. Little did we know it would be such a difficult, even an impossible, task.
For several months before the first Annual meeting, no seven-candle candelabras could be found. A search was made in Globe, Phoenix, and Yuma, Arizona, and in Los Angeles. Finally, an artisan in Mexico offered to make them of wrought iron.

But just weeks before the ceremony, an old catalog from a Los Angeles company was provided which had pictures of brass candelabra. Dorothy called the phone number listed in the catalog. It was a Saturday, and the Annual meeting getting near. Fortunately a woman answered, but she said she wasn't supposed to answer the phone because she wasn't officially working that Saturday. However, she said she'd look the following week for the old catalog and see if any candelabras were even in stock. When Dorothy said she needed seven candelabras, the woman said she couldn't take the order, but she'd send Dorothy a new catalog.

By this time, it was so close to the Annual Meeting, and still no candelabras could be found. Dorothy and all the others prayed, asking God for help, since His messengers had asked that the seven-candle candelabra be lighted as each minister was ordained before God.

It took a miracle. And just days before the first Annual Meeting, May 10, without anyone knowing they were coming, fourteen brass, seven-candle candelabras arrived at Ray's front door. Dorothy nor anyone else had ordered them. They simply arrived, just in time for the ministers to take their vows.

These are the same candelabras that you see on the altar today, through all the 29 Annual Meetings. They were provided by God. They are made in the same image as the original seven-stick candelabra or menorah in the original Jewish temple in Jerusalem.

The spiritual messengers of God have often reminded us, through the years, of the miracle of the candelabra. Perhaps it is so we may always know God is with us, and this is a sign of His covenant.

April 21, 1972, the spiritual messengers of God said: Thy have other questions, ask.
"Yes, Aka. You made reference a number of times to the Seven Spirits of God. Could you tell me more about what you mean by this? Are they part of the council of Thirteen? Are they different? What do you mean?"

The Seven Spirits of God are the seven spirits of God. They are no part of any council. This dwells within thyself; as we have said before, open he door that we may enter. And we shall say once again, have faith and thy shall walk on the water with us.... [See The Revelation, chapters 4 and 5.]

Then we should say unto thee these words. We shall give blessings unto your May [now June] meetings of the same. Now is the time of the cherub. Earthquakes shall come upon your earth. Fear these now, for the children of God shall walk with God and give guidance unto the children of man.

April 28, 1972: We came but for one purpose that, in itself, is the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. And we come with love. But we also come from the one we were sent, and our Father should shed many years for His children. But remember unto these words, thy shall not bear false witness into thy brother, nor his house. And thy should not coveth anything that should belong to thy brother. But we did promise unto thee these things that we wouldst give unto thee -- the material things, as they were needed -- and the protection of our Lord, God, unto His children....

And we should answer unto those of the disciples of the same, thy have in thy minds, and we should answer in this manner, wear of these things thy choose, but wear for this time, and this time only, unto white covering of thy clothing. But wear no ornaments before God, other than the one we have given unto thee. [The ankh.] Place into thy house no false images unto thy Father, for we have not asked that thy should build a mighty temple. The temple we should seek is within thy hearts, thy souls, the spirits, and thy immortal bodies of the same.

And before your ordination, let all go unto soul Ray and we should place in his mind these things he should say unto thee.
