IS THIS HE THAT SHOULD COME?

"Is THIS He that should come?" Eternally the question is asked as a long line of teachers, preachers, so-called Messiahs, books, and systems of Truth parades across the line of vision. The answer is, many tomes, "Yes, this is He," only later to be turned into a bitter, "No, I was mistaken." The eyes of the Seeker again scan the horizon, looking for another who apparently never comes.

"Is this He that should come, or look we for another?" has been asked since time began, and will continue to be asked until the individual ceases his looking for a Messiah - in the old sense of the word - and becomes aware that the glorious Revelation that the search is ended and that "HE that should come" has come. Until man stops looking for a Messiah who is to save the world, and turns within and gives a full and glorious recognition to the Christ, he will never find HIM.

When man awakens to the glorious truth that the HE that should come is the risen Christ in the midst of him, he realizes the eternal question is answered, and from that moment it is just a matter of recognition.

"Is this He that should come?" Yes, this is the HE that should come. This is the "HE" that has been standing in the midst of thee, knocking on the door of your consciousness, while you have been running hither and thither, looking for a personal teaching or system, and have denied the "HE that should come." It is wonderful and glorious - it is self-revelation.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." This very Messiah that men have been seeking in the world of relative beliefs stands at the door and knocks, and awaits the recognition. A flood of light overtakes you, pours over you like a waterfall, covering the whole face of the earth. Light bursts forth and reveals the Kingdom of Heaven Here and Now - a real heaven and a real earth, for the first heaven and the first earth those imaginary states of consciousness, have passed away, and something living, tangible and real has come into manifestation. "Yet in My flesh shall I [yes, you] see God." Yes, in this very flesh shall you see this God power in manifestation. And if you do, what do you suppose will happen to the appearances of disease and age, and all the limitations you have held about you, while you were dreaming of the first heaven and the first earth?

The Inner Lord, the Christ of which Jesus told us so much, and showed us so much, is asking you, "But whom do YOU say that I AM?" The answer is usually the same: "Some say that you are one, some another." Some say that you are this teacher or that teacher; of this or that nationality; or a representative of this or that system. What of it? It is all talk of and about a subject until you can answer for yourself, "But whom do you say that I AM?" What are you going to do about it? How much longer are you going to deny ME, and get the reaction to this denial? Awake, thou that sleepest. Stop looking for a Messiah, and recognize the Presence within you. Fling open wide the doors of your consciousness, and LET this Glorious "He that should come" come in, and let HIM rise, and rise, and rise, with healing in His wings, and cover you with His floods of healing light and revelation. It is Wonderful!

Think of it, Beloved! All the revelation you expected to come from some Messiah will now come through the risen Lord, because you will have the Single Eye and Ear and be able to perceive and hear what the voice says through any avenue or channel. It is Wonderful! Until you "hear THE voice," in the truest sense of the word, you only hear "a" voice, and mistake it always for the Messiah. "Is this He that should come, or look we for another?" is at last answered by the recognition of the Presence, and THEN the automatic power of this recognition starts to fulfill the Law; "If you ask anything in my name [nature], that give I unto you."

When you hear the answer to your recognition of the Inner Lord, speaking with authority, "Behold, I AM HE that should come," you experience a thrill of freedom and joy, and you begin to see that all things are possible to God. "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty." Filled with the Light of this new day, you begin to "call upon ME," and find that "I AM close at hand," and ready to bless, to save, to heal. It is all glorious. "This is My beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased," is said of the body (embodiment), and you will find that your body begins to express "the" condition which causes the Father within to be "well pleased."

This Inner Lord, this "He that should come," speaking to your body, "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee," causes you to experience a new sense of health, which is more in the terms of light than the old idea of human power.

There is no doubt that every man, no matter how low he may have dropped in the scale of human belief, has heard the "knock" at the door; but note that it is necessary to hear more than the "knock." The knock is merely the urge of the power. It is necessary to "hear" within you - yes, you, the reader - and cease the useless "denying" the Christ within yourself and stop the endless seeking in another for the Truth. Until you can give the Glory to God, and recognize this Christ within you, you will not be able

to hear the VOICE. You will always hear the voice of some person, and yet it says the still small Voice shall say, "Turn to the

right," "Turn to the left," etc., and that all guidance will be given to you from within. Until you can accept your Divine heritage as a joint heir with Christ, you will be found eating the crumbs under the table of one of your supposed Messiahs, and yet in some strange, remote way resenting this humiliation that you have brought upon yourself.

The recognition of the Inner Lord does not bring a sense of arrogance or conceit. Contrary to this, it brings the first loverly sense of meekness and humility; and why not? You begin to realize that the fighting and excitement belong to those who are seeking things and fighting for them. You have become "meek," because you know that the MEEK inherit the earth, and there is no question about it being a legitimate inheritance. It is wonderful, the floods of light that are pouring over you now, NOW that you have answered the question, "Is this HE that should come?"

"Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world" - you may rest assured, Beloved, that the Christ within you is greater than any teacher, or lecturer, or preacher, who ever claimed to be the Messiah. Greater is HE that is in you, because that very HE is the point of contact between you and the Infinite God of all creation.

The HE that was in Jesus made Him what He was, and changed the carpenter's son into a glorious Master. The HE that was in Him enabled Him to offset the beliefs of the millions about Him, One, with God, is a majority, and it was just this recognition of the Christ within that enabled Jesus to show forth the LAW, which set aside every human belief.

When the five thousand were in the desert, hungry and a great distance from food, they all testified to this situation as true. There was plenty of evidence of the lack of food, and apparently no way of getting it. There was plenty of proof of the impossibility of acquiring anything in the immediate time it was needed, and yet this volume of proof and testimony did not affect Jesus at all. One can stand against five thousand, if that one knows that "Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world." When you begin to see the Law as given to us by the Master Jesus, you begin to understand all the workings of the Law. "One, with God, is a majority," over a million beliefs and proofs, however time-honored and reverenced.

It was the desire of Jesus to show this crowd of five thousand how it was possible for them also to become one with God; but most of them only saw the so-called miracle, and the next day they were looking for Him again; not seeking the light, but the loaves and fishes, showing how utterly they had misunderstood the revelation. "You seek ME after the loaves and the fishes and cannot find Me."

Until a man has recognized the simple teaching of Jesus, and found the "HE that is to come" within himself, he will constantly be either building up or tearing down. He will, each year, get a new craze for another teacher or system, and each time he will turn many awry by telling them this is the "only" one. He has only heard the "knock," and not the "Voice."

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent ME, HATH everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life!"

It were well if you read and re-read this statement, and note the tense of the verbs, and rejoice in the presence of the Almighty God. The Lord thy God in the midst of THEE (yes, you) is mighty. Do you hear? "My sheep hear My voice."

"Is this He that should come, or look we for another?"

"The government shall be upon HIS shoulder and HIS name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, and of the increase of His government there shall be no [not any] end." The heavens are pouring out floods of revelation upon you as you read, and upon me as I write. The WORD is going out, "I shall pour out My blessings on all mankind." The richness of this Love has come to you, and "He careth for you." Nothing else matters. If God, the Inner Lord, careth for you, then all is well with you. It cannot be other wise. The automatic working of this law may come through any channel or avenue, but the power of recognition lies within you.

It is not that anything must or will be done to you by any man, and yet any man may be the materialized evidence of what you have called for. It is Wonderful! "Is this He that should come?" Yes, this is HE that should come to unto you, with healing in His wings. The government of your life is upon the shoulder of this newly recognized (born) child, whose name is Wonderful, the mighty God. Do you begin to see how you can give up, and "lean on ME"?

"Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God." But this NOW may be three thousand years away, or it may only be a moment away, or it may be NOW. All this depends upon your willingness to recognize the Lord within you as the HE that should come.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork." We can come whole-heartedly to the throne of Grace, and bear away the Blessings that are so freely given to us. We recognize ONE God of all, and His name is WONDERFUL. Yes, this is He that should come; it is the He that is the ONE (triumphant) against the five thousand, with their avalanche of belief and proof.
