The Gifts of Elohim

CHAPTER 37

Yeshua further expounds upon the gifts of the Children of Light: when to use them and when not to use them. He also explains the five points of the star of light by which all miracles occur.

 1 The following day, after completing the Contemplative Movements at sunrise, Yeshua departed with Miriam and his disciples on the road to Tiberias.

 2 While walking, Yohhanan asked, “Concerning the special gifts we have been given as Children of Light, I am still uncertain of how or when to manifest my gifts.”

 3 Yeshua answered him, saying, “Your gifts are to be used only in selflessness for the glory of God and only before the eyes of true believers, when there is a true need. If a man who is committed to the Celestine Light asks you to show him the special gifts of God it is rumored that you have, show them not, not in the least degree, for there is no purpose in this except fostering pride in you and false faith in him.

 4 If an unbeliever says that if you will but show him a miracle he will believe, turn your back and walk away from him, for faith built on miracles is like a house built upon sand that will fall at the first great storm.

 5 The majesty of Elohim is not a circus, and those who ask first for a sign have not yet found Elohim in their heart, and it is only those who have first found Elohim in their heart that should ever be privileged to witness the powers of the Celestine Light upon the Earth; but even then, only when there is a need.”

 6 Cephas interjected, saying, “But you have healed those with great infirmities before the eyes of many nonbelievers, even the Sadducees and Pharisees.”

 7 Yeshua answered him, saying, “I desired the enemies of righteousness to know me, and thus it must be that all is fulfilled as it should be. But you will have enough challenges without drawing undue attention to yourself with miracles given before the Ganish.

 8 To help you prosper in the days to come, I have shown miracles to many people. This is necessary, for many are called but few are chosen, and there must be many who see but do not believe, to find the precious few who see and do believe.

 9 Miracles were necessary through me that the word of it would spread quickly across the land near and far that the true Children of Light would hear of it and come unto me. Among those, the spirit of Elohim moves in their heart, and they will follow me and come to you.

 10 The Celestine Light that emanates from me is meant for but a short time upon the Earth, and the greater glory is in my leaving, when my light shall shine even brighter through the lives of those who love me and keep my teachings.

 11 Know that your light is meant to be longer upon the Earth, that you may seek out other Children of Light and help them to find the true path. But this, do quietly, out of the sight of men of the world, or seen, but thought to be of no consequence.

 12 Verily, it is better to be thought mad than to be proved true to the eyes of the unbelieving Ganish. For an unbeliever who witnesses a miracle with his own eyes will be an unbeliever still, and instead of simply dismissing you as mad or a charlatan and letting you go your way in peace, he will now fear you and seek to control and confine you because of his fear.

 13 If the Romans call you before them and threaten you with death lest you show them your powers of the Celestine Light, show not the gifts that they can see while they look upon you, but when they look away, do as you must to be free.

 14 If you have ears to hear, listen well. One of the most powerful of all gifts is not to walk upon the water or to raise a stone into the air or command flame to appear, for these visible powers are all things that the magicians of Egypt can also do.

 15 Your great power as a Child of Light is to exert the Celestine essence of Elohim that is within you, to protect yourself and your loved ones, to heal the sick by imparting to them a portion of the essence of Heaven and of your own vitality, and to influence and change the thoughts of men, and in this, you can begin to change the world.

 16 Though you desire that all men would come to love and live the Celestine Light of Elohim, it is not possible, except for those who are first prepared and desire in their heart to bury the sins of their past and live the higher light as a way of life.

 17 Therefore, though it is never righteous to compel a man to God, it is righteous to expand and project the Celestine essence of Elohim that is within you so that the man is touched by your words in the deepest part of his heart.

 18 Then it must be on his own that he wrestles with himself to discover whether he can live what his heart knows is true.

 19 But to any who would compel you to do that which is evil or impede your freedom to worship Elohim and live in the ways of Celestine Light or imprison you unrighteously, you are justified in projecting the power of Elohim upon them, that they would desire and act to change the wrong they have done unto you.

 20 When you exert the Celestine essence of Elohim within you, the minds of men can be led to paths they would not have chosen, and this is justified if it is for righteousness sake.

 21 Thus, when you are imprisoned by your persecutors, you are justified to exert the Celestine power of Elohim within you that your guards will desire to set you free and remember the circumstances not at all.

 22 But think well before you act and pray to Elohim for guidance, for the better path might be to remain in prison if that is where you can do a greater good.

 23 For in all things, as special emissaries of Elohim, you will be led upon paths and to places where it is important for you to be, both for your growth and for the purposes of Elohim that you may know not.

 24 So too will you meet people, even adversaries, whom it is important that you should meet.

 25 Though it may at first be a mystery to you, never forget who you are and why you are here upon the Earth.

 26 Look therefore with wonder upon the places and people that come into your life, however simple or even undesirable they may seem and seek with humble prayer to ever understand the purposes of your life, and the places you end up being, and the people whom you meet.”

 27 Then Ya’akov asked, “How is it that we can manifest our own gifts? What exactly do we need to do or learn? Since the miracles we witnessed yesterday, even Miriam flying like a bird, I have tried to lift just a single grain of sand, but though I can blow it away with my breath or wipe it away with my hand, by no other means can I get it to move.”

 28 Yeshua answered him, saying, “What purpose of Elohims would be served by you moving a grain of sand? If you were to move it without purpose, you would soon be doing it often and would become proud and vain because of your ability, because it was serving you but not serving Elohim.

 29 It is possible for you to move a grain of sand or a rock even without a righteous purpose, and if you continued to practice, you would succeed because it is a gift given to you as a birthright by Elohim.

 30 If you use your gift for things that are trivial, you will not be able to manifest it for things that are great, for that which becomes common is not valued. But if you have learned the Celestine secret to moving both sand and mountains, then your practice would be with the purpose to perfect your gift. Therefore, the first essential is to gain the secret knowledge necessary to accomplish the miracle.

 31 There are five points to the star of Celestine Light by which all miracles occur, and only with confidence, humility, faith, awe, and love can the great miracles be accomplished. And before confidence comes, you must have knowledge.”

 32 “If I cannot practice my gifts on small things such as moving a grain of sand, then how will I ever know that I have any gifts? Ya’akov asked. “And how will I discover other Children of Light out in the world if our gifts must be kept in secret?”

 33 Yeshua answered him, saying, “You may use your gifts often and with power for the purposes of Elohim. You should practice your gifts by embodying the five-pointed star of Celestine Light and prove to yourself that you are a vessel for the miracles of Heaven by using your gifts for selfless and righteous purposes.

 34 Simply remember the five-pointed star as you seek to become proficient in the use of your gifts. The stronger each of the five points is, the greater will your gifts be able to manifest.

 35 Once you embody the five points, practice on as many grains of sand as you desire until you have perfected your gift. But know that even if you never move a grain of sand, you should still be supremely confident that you do have special gifts, for I have told you that you do.

 36 You must not be puffed up with pride because of your gifts, but humbled by the honor that Elohim has bestowed upon you.

 37 And how do you relate to Elohim, the unseen God? Do you know Elohim the Father and Mother, even as you know me? Is your faith great enough that though not seeing, you still know the living God and feel the spirit of the living God moving in your heart? Is your faith great enough that though not hearing, the voice of Elohim still speaks as a still, small voice silently in your head, imparting wisdom you did not know, ever showing you the way to go?

 38 The greater your faith, the greater your power.

 39 It is for this cause that you neither see nor hear Elohim while you sojourn in mortality, except as the warm feeling that overwhelms your heart or as the still, small voice in your head that tells you the truth you did not know or in your dreams that seem so real.

 40 If you could see and hear God as men see and hear one another, what would be the need of faith?

 41 Give thanks for your blindness and deafness, for it is through them that you learn to listen with the part of you that is of God and learn to hear your Father and Mother in Heaven when they give inspiration to your head, seek you in dreams, or touch your heart and move you to good actions.

 42 Because of your deafness and blindness, you can build the faith that moves mountains.

 43 Let confidence, humility, and faith lead to awe and wonder in the majesty of all Elohim has created and the power of God that has been given to you to come forth as the lightning of the storm and the balm that calms the storm and heals all wounds.

 44 Lastly, draw upon your love. If faith is the power of your gifts, love is the activator.

 45 You must have a love that burns as a passion that can never be dimmed in your heart, for without it, confidence, humility, awe, and faith are for naught.

 46 Whatever gift you desire to manifest, you must first focus on a love that will activate the gift.

 47 If you are in prison for the sake of Elohim and desire to be free, think of the love you have for God. Become one with the passion of pure love that it may activate your commands.

 48 If you are asked to heal a young girl, think of your own daughter or son and how much you love them. Feel the passion of your love for them, then lay your hands upon the infirmed and, with your gifts, empowered by your confidence, humility, awe, faith, and love, heal them!

 49 Concerning finding the other Children of Light in the world, you will seldom see them manifesting their gifts, for most will not know yet that they have them, and those that know will likely hide them for their own safety lest they be thought a witch and stoned.

 50 But when you preach, you will speak of the gifts given to the Children of Light. There will be those that hear you and know that they have the gifts, and they will be righteous and virtuous and honor the temple of their body, and they will come to you as the spirit of Elohim moves them to be among their own kind.

 51 And there will be those who hear you and know not that they have the gifts, but they will find themselves drawn and fascinated to learn of them. Those that are also drawn to live in righteousness and virtue and honor their bodies as temples are surely Children of Light.

 52 But those who are drawn to learn of the special gifts of Elohim but do not desire to live in righteousness and virtue, honoring the temples of their bodies, are not called to be Children of Light at that time, and they should be taught no more of the special gifts of Elohim.

 53 But some of those have just lost their way and are too weak to be masters of themselves.

 54 Therefore, do not turn away sincere seekers of truth, even those who are not strong enough to be their own masters.

 55 Instead, show them a path where they can become the master of themselves, where they can throw off the old and love to live in the new. Then let them wrestle with themselves to see which will be the victor.

 56 When the master of self has won, and they are ready to be born again, lead them to the gate that they may enter and discover how much greater light fulfills than darkness.

 57 And all who walk through the gate of virtue shall become Children of Light and inherit all that Elohim has to give to the worthy and the righteous.”
