Happy Birthday to our Country, the USA. We have had many fights, many struggles and many good things to happen in its growth. We will be 240 years young since the Declaration of Independence from Britain in 1776. The USA is blessed and yes, God is Good and is still alive and well in the USA.
Read our article on "How Many People Take on the Character of the Biblical Saul? Let us know what you think about it and yes, we really want to know. Don't be bashful or allow anyone to deter you from communicating or communing with The Reverends at Universal Wisdom Fellowship. It is important to you and to us.
In Divine Love and Delight,
Rev. Fred and Rev. Pat

How Many People Take on the Character of the Biblical Saul?
 |
| | The Conversion on the Way to Damascus
|
Let us renew our understanding of Saul from the Scripture. Saul was a Jewish boy that was born in Rome. His father was a leader and was Jewish. Saul literally hated The Twelve Disciples and Jesus.
Even though Stephen was not one of The Twelve, Saul had Stephen stoned to death simply because Stephen delivered such healing and beautiful messages and could perform healings. Read Acts 6:8 to 8:1 to understand.
Stephen was in conflict with what Saul thought was the right thing to do for the Israelites.
There were many cruel things that Saul did. Always they were against The Twelve and Jesus.
Later, when he was on his way to Damascus he was struck with blindness and remained blind for three days. He was on his way to cause trouble in Damascus.
When he was struck with blindness, a voice called out to him and asked him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Saul did not know who was speaking to him. Saul thought that the cruel things he did to the Disciples were right. When he got to the home of Ananias, he asked to see him, but Ananias was afraid of Saul, because he knew the cruel things Saul had done in Jerusalem to the Disciples.
After Saul's conversion, he wanted to do what Peter was doing. He thought that his conversion would save him.
There are many people today who take on the character of Saul from the Scriptures. They do cruel things to others and feel they are right in what they do. It is said that we act as those in the Scriptures act, but no one has taken this seriously. That is the reason we are to read and understand the Scriptures. If we know who we are imitating and how they got out of trouble, we can do the same and get ourselves out of trouble.
Saul changed his name to Paul, but that did not help him with "The Twelve." They had problems forgetting or letting go of the past JUST AS WE DO TODAY.
It would be wise for us to understand this story about Saul and make changes in our life before we make a transition from this life to the next. Saul's transition from his old life to a new one proved to be valuable as he wrote most of the Books of the New Testament.
However, his teaching is misrepresented as "man over woman," which is far from what Our Father created in the beginning.
There will be further information about this to come.

 Deep in the Heart of God - Part I
This topic came to me at a most wonderful moment with God. I know it is desired to love God and sometimes it appears that we, as a people, fall short of that idea. This part of our Articles will be short and in 6 parts.
Each part is to drive home a point about God, Our Father. Please allow yourself to think deeply and to answer honestly each question or to think deeply about a statement, for it is no one's business except your own. This has to do with YOUR soul growth.
Question #1: What does God mean to you? Write out your answer for at least 5 minutes for 7 days.
In Divine Love and Delight, Rev. Pat

That Precious Part of You
There is a precious part of you that Proverbs tells us is more precious than all the gold and silver in the Earth. In Proverbs 20 verse 15 it says, "There is gold, and a multitude or rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel." King James Bible 1611
Also, Proverbs Chapter 3, verses 13 & 14, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding, for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver." King James Bible 1611
If you read it in the King James Bible, it reads that wisdom is more precious than gold or silver. May I invite you to read Proverbs Chapter 4, verses 1-27.
There are benefits to getting wisdom.
That means that we are to increase our understanding concerning the subconscious mind. It is precious. Once we understand wisdom, we will succeed in everything that we do.
The unfortunate thing is this: Man thinks that money is the key to success and for the most part will do anything to get money, which could include to steal, cheat, hurt, harm, embezzle, bargain or swindle and deceive another. Deception has been practiced on Rev. Fred and myself. We know who and why, but bless those who deceive.
Let us turn around and bless the subconscious mind, love it with our whole heart and build it that it may become wise. The subconscious mind is referred to as "she" in the Bible and as "the heart." It is our heart that Our Father knows and reads every moment we breathe.
Every thought we think, everything that we see with our physical and mental eye settles in the subconscious mind. It is very powerful and as great as it is, it cannot initiate ANYTHING!
Read these pages in the Science of Mind textbook by Ernest Holmes: 29 paragraph 1, 30 paragraph 4, 90 paragraph 3, 101 paragraph 5, 114 paragraph 3, 320 paragraph 3, 322 paragraph 2, 342 paragraph 1 and page 390 paragraph 3 to learn more about what the subconscious mind does.
We will discuss more concerning wisdom in later articles.
In Divine Love and Delight,

 Life Is Fascinating!
This life is so very intriguing. There are so many things about it that we, as humans, do not understand about living on Earth and what it is about. I wonder, if we would accept ourselves truly as spiritual beings, would we understand life better.
I have a feeling that we would. We travel through this lifetime without really knowing what to do, how to truly act and the reason or purpose for what we are here to do. We go in circles many times not knowing which way is the true way.
Could it be that if we would stop and ask Our Father questions, would life be better lived? Most of us try to do what our parents expect of us rather than to seek out our destiny or our true purpose and some of us do what our peers think we are to do.
Some of us even try to control the other with our mind not realizing that is a dangerous practice, for to try to control is to be controlled.
The bare fact is that we never really ask Our Father what is for our highest good. If we would do that, I believe that all of God's children would live a happier life.
The question stands: Are you doing right now that which tickles your fancy? If not, when will you get around to doing that?
There is another question that is very important and that question is this: Do you think someone else is supposed to take care of you even though you are an adult?
When you can honestly answer these two questions, you will be on your way to becoming ONE with Our Father God. That is what God is waiting to hear.
In Divine Love and Delight, Rev. Pat

Think on These Things
 Did Jesus Marry?
Questions and Answers:
Did Jesus Marry?
With so many women in the Bible named Mary, it is difficult to know which Mary Jesus or the Scripture is referring to and this alone can raise a big problem.
There are those, even now, who want to disbelieve the Teachings of Jesus and a few call him a liar. Few realize that Jesus was incapable of lying, for even the slightest would cause the Laws of Our Father to collapse and that would mean NO EARTH, UNIVERSE or LIFE on Earth. Jesus made the statement that he never married, but there are some who contend vehemently that he was married to Mary Magdalene.
I questioned Jesus and this is what he said:
"It is difficult for man to understand the ways of God when they are not receptive to His ways. I never married, for that would have sealed my ways to one person and made it difficult to do and be about My Father's Business. Mary Magdalene was my mother's sister (I could have heard Martha's sister). I could not have married her. She was most attentive to me. She wanted me to succeed and saw that I needed to have the attention given to the body and she took care of that. There are those who wanted me married so that it would appear I knew what I was talking about. Mary Magdalene finally understood that God took care of my body, for the Soul and the Body are One. There can be no separation when you become One with The Father. Your body becomes translucent, but looks solid to those who do not understand. That is why when I arose, I could not have her touch me. My Soul Consciousness was completed, but my body was not solid. If she has touched me, it would have dissolved her, but frightened her first. She was needed, for it was her part to tell the others. She could believe, while the others still had doubt about life and death. Even though they had understood the power and could raise the dead, it was whenever I was around. Peter was finally receptive of the Power and learned how to do it after I left. That was the only way to pass the power to others. I am as alive today as I was for The Twelve Disciples. People today still don't understand marriage was NOT part of my mission. Mary Magdalene was close to me, because she had great receptive ability. She was learning. When I went through the initiations, I had to go through being tempted and Mary Magdalene was that temptation. I passed and she was grateful. If I had not passed, there would have been NO CHRIST." I know there are those who will still have their thoughts about Jesus. They will learn Truth when they meet him after a transition. Jesus understood this and still allows it to be as each one so desires. He NEVER forces Truth upon us even when Truth will help us.

Many words of thanks go out to you for reading The Source Within Newsletter. The question is constantly on our mind about our Newsletter and the importance of reading what is here. So many times we allow ourselves to bypass things in life not really understanding the significance of our actions and as a result follow what someone else tells us to do. We pray you have a mind of your own. Everything that happens in our lives will be reviewed when we meet Our Father at the end of our journey on Earth. What if He asks, "What did you think about The Source Within Newsletter?" How will you answer?
Truth of You is published.
