Vol. 29 No. 45 - Archangel Raphael - September 28, 1986
The Missing Dimension in Healing
The Power of the Intercessor

     Hark! It is the hour of the intercession of archangels in this day of the shifting sands of human opinion. We enter. We come, beloved, always in answer to the call of those embodied spirits of fervor and devotion to the healing arts.

     When I healed that one of old, Tobias,1 when I sent forth the light, it was a transfer of my own aura as an electromagnetic field. And this aura of the archangel sent from God as servant, beloved, has the power, then, to mend the flaw, to heal the breach. Thus, the rent in the garment is healed by the power of Christ we bring. Thus, the proneness and the vulnerability to intrusions from the very pits of Death itself may be removed, may be sealed, as we then draw a solar ring around that one who has placed himself in faith and in understanding to be the vessel of the Light.

     How true it is - as it is said by those practitioners of the healing arts who know - that those who are not able to hold the light, the measure of healing, are the very ones who have no circle of identity or self-sustaining will. These may receive the light, the impartation, but on the morrow they depart therefrom, receding, then, to their old manifestation.

     I have watched as this servant in years gone by has implored Gabriel to stand, to enfold, to place in his Electronic Presence certain individuals sick of mind or heart or body. In some cases the individuals were made whole physically and they have remained whole. Others received the impartation of the mind of an archangel and were converted by that mind and to that LORD, even to the LORD's presence of Reality. Yet, when the archangel withdrew and they returned again, as it is the Law of God, to their own free will, they did gravitate back to their old ways of consciousness and did perform those deeds which were the betrayal of the Light of God within them and within all.

     Thus, beloved, it must be known by ye all who are sent from the altar of the Holy Grail to go forth as instruments of God's healing in many ways that the unwilling spirit cannot be exorcised, whether of foul spirits or uncleanness or diseases. There must be a willingness and it must be profound - a willingness that this healing might take him into the conformity of God's Wholeness, God's Law, his loving Presence.

     Thus, we come to examine the motive for the desire for health. Beloved ones, it is reasonable and understandable to desire health for the sake of the enjoyment of life, and many do receive it even by their own effort. But, beloved, when it comes to the healing of the soul and the deep recesses of the psyche, when it comes to the mending of the electromagnetic field, beloved, truly creating by Elohim a new creature in Christ, then, you see, something more must be the profound desiring: that something more being the desire to be nothing less than the LORD's instrument, to be so much his instrument that the very quiver of the breath of the Holy Spirit or the cosmic heartbeat causes that one to move also ever so slightly as the magnificent trees - for that one becomes a living Tree of Life, that one becomes the fount of blessing.

     Thus, the purest desire for health must be to serve God here on earth in his little ones who have been deprived of wholeness through whatever contrivances and devices have been spawned upon earth by minds of whom you know not. Almost as masked bandits they have come, intruding themselves into fields of knowledge not their own, displacing sons and daughters of God who did not receive [accept] their calling to become pillars of fire in the very midst of the most entrenched forces of materialism.

     Matter is the glory of the Mother as Mater, but when matter degenerates because it lacks the interior cone of fire, then it becomes a materialism - matter for the sake of matter, maintaining the status quo of health without desiring ultimately the divine union as the fruit of life.

     To the glory of God thus serve, beloved. For I AM Raphael. And you who love life and minister to life have known me long at inner levels. Now may thy heart and soul be acquainted in the direct knowledge that I am the ever-present helper. And with my beloved Mary and angels of Light of the fifth ray without number, we come with the science of God to tear the veil, to part it, beloved, that the whole science of healing might be known. And that for those for whom the mercy of God has decreed it, there might be given, then, as it were, the bypassing of the karmic condition of the cause of disease - the displacing of that condition and the restoration to wholeness.

     Beloved ones, great gifts have been given to humanity through the medical profession. But in many areas they themselves have captured the gift as though a child would capture the flag. They have made themselves a standard and set the ceiling and said, "Thus far and no farther. We will seek but we will not find." And often the curse is pronounced: "Incurable."

     To whom belongs the power, then? The one who thus decrees has secured his power in the situation.

     Beloved ones, I am come and I come from the altar of God where I have deliberated profoundly, where I have communed in him. And I am sent by the Father to intrude a light from heaven's altars into the community of the servants of health and life worldwide. I have come, then, with a special dispensation of light to assist those who have proven themselves to be the servants of the Light and revolutionaries for Life.

     Beloved ones, correspondingly there is a light which descends to limit, to curtail, and to shorten the days of the seed of the wicked who have blocked the miraculous cures that God has already vouchsafed to some among you and to individuals in various nations.

     Beloved, have you considered that many of these miracles are for believers2 and that those who deny the power of the alternative method of healing in this day and have refused it, none could help? - when, in fact, it is not an alternative, for the wrong way is the alternative and the right way has always been since the beginning. For them the miracle would not work. They did not desire Life. They entered into Death and dying needlessly.

     Did you see Raphael come and stand in the way of their free will?

     Beloved, the Law does not allow the heavenly host to interfere with free will, as you have been taught this day. Mankind forget this and in wrenching sorrow they cry out to God, "Why?" And God replies, "Thou art God in manifestation. Thou art the God in the earth. Thou art the God of thy body. What hast thou done? Adam, where art thou in consciousness?3 Where art thou - no longer a partaker of Eden?"

     Beloved hearts, where the free will is unknowing or blind or uneducated, remember the power of the intercessor - yourself. You have the power to preach Truth, to convey the Holy Spirit. You have the power of speech to convince, to help those who are beset by death in the body to reach out for life and to have hope.

     We also are fellow servants with you. We are, then, intercessors, facilitators, mediators. And we do stand in the aura of those who most oppose that which is best for them. And we woo and we transfer the love of God. And we give that power of hope, beloved, that they might choose to fight, when the hour before all seemed lost.

     Morbidity is a deadly demon! Cast it out by name by the power of the LORD Christ. Morbidity and Death and Dying - these are entities that can be seen on the astral plane. They surround the sick, attracted by the auric emanation giving off intense vibrations and odors of toxins.

     Beloved ones, surrounded by all of this, the soul needs the outstretched hand of the intercessor. And I, Raphael, tell you, I need your bodies and hearts to work through, to extend that light which I gladly give to you to convey. For the momentum of my healing light, beloved, spans not ten thousand, not one hundred thousand, but years beyond your ken unto infinity.

     For I AM the archangel of God which stand in his presence. And his presence with me always is able to convey through your very hand that charge that goes through the hand and back to the heart and opens the way for Hope to breathe her breath and fan that flame, and for the soul to rise and say, "I will not surrender! I will fight this death spiral in me as the last enemy! And I will win. And I will be in this body a servant of Christ. And I will not quit the body, for I AM THAT I AM."

     Beloved ones, [with] this power of God and faith now transmitted to that soul, begin the program of living Life transmitted and have the courage as Jesus did when he put them all out of the house to perform his healing - all of the friends and relatives and weeping ones.4 Let them not cloud the issue. Have the courage, then, to defend the right of the individual in the courts, in the systems of the world to choose his own path of healing.

     Down with the dictatorship of the medical profession, I say! Who has given unto them the dictatorship to say when the individual may live or die or take this cure or not? How can the courts decree, then, that the individual by free will does not have the freedom to select that cure that he will take, especially at the point where he has been declared hopeless?

     Cosmos is not without hope. And where there is life, there is that mighty archangel of the feminine ray - the being called Hope who ministers with the beings called Faith and Charity. These are not virtues that float in the sky but embodied virtues, embodied by heavenly hosts who know that humanity must receive the fresh fragrance of Faith and Hope and Charity from the altar of God. And they come processioning and bearing these vibrations for the rekindling of the flame.

     Beloved ones, miracles are happening all over the world every day. But every miracle must have a physical vortex of hope, of receptivity, of desiring, of drawing unto itself that descending light.

     Each body - the mental, the emotional (or desire body), the physical, and the higher spiritual body, known as the etheric - must be nourished with the nutrients appropriate to that plane of being. Thus, though we may nourish at inner levels, unless you be the physical instruments of our presence, we cannot reach physical life.

     This is not a question of instantaneous healing, as Jesus did heal taking unto his own body the karma of the disease of that one to whom he would give his light. This is the age of science - spiritual science as the alchemy of the adepts who reincarnate from all ages. It is the age of the Second Coming of Christ in every temple when each man and woman and child must reach up to that Presence of Life and draw down all light for his individual self-mastery. This is the age when the exemplars go forth, when the apostles and disciples of Christ come bearing not only his words oft repeated but his works, his aura, and his garment.

     I say to you, Go forth from this altar this day empowered by the mantle of Christ Jesus and your own Christ Self. For it is time - and time and a half a time have passed - that you must do his works. And greater works has he assured you5 because you believe scientifically upon his presence and know that that one does occupy your temple and every cell thereof.

     Beloved, although it bring relief and blessing, the instantaneous healing by the Master does not afford the individual his own self-mastery. Remember, though Lazarus was raised from the dead,6 he also subsequently died and subsequently reincarnated.

     Therefore, who benefited from this feat? Why, it was the LORD Christ who benefited. For this level of attainment in Jesus was a part of his path. The one who benefits most is the one who raises the dead. And the one who is raised should develop the desiring to go and do likewise, as Lazarus did desire to do in that life and succeeding incarnations.

     Thus, beloved, not to be a taker of the gifts, but now in the seventh age to break the shackles of a limited theology and to enter into the at-one-ment - the at-one-ment with God that is the only atonement. Atonement for world sin, where you are in your body now, can come about only through at-one-ment.

     Let God be in you the fullness of the healing flame. I say it! I am the bearer thereof and He has sent me this day.

     And to those who can see, I stand upon this altar. I stand, therefore, over and including the Messenger in my being. And this we will do with you also, only by your leave and your free will. If, then, you desire in your service the intercession of my heart and that of Mother Mary, remember that the call compels the answer and that we have already delivered dynamic decrees and the rosary and songs of love that will magnetize our aura and sustain it where you are.

     We come to supply the missing dimension, beloved, in healing. Will you take our hearts' love that is not our own but the gift of the Father and the Son? This is our gift to you. We will not be overbearing. We will not enter where we are not invited.

     The LORD Christ, who was so assisted by the presence of the mighty archangels, did give the teaching to the apostles, who in turn taught the early Christians: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.7

     Sometimes we do enter through friends of Light who have already received us, who bring you a message and a teaching that has been given to them, as you can see clearly, by divine inspiration. And that inspiration is carried often to the mind and heart by angels of our bands.

     Thus, it is well to receive the teacher in the earth who has spent a lifetime of meditation and research/experiment and the performance of healing work. For, beloved, that which has been given to one and that which that one has earned the right to know and be for many, many lifetimes can be yours in a matter of days or a week's study, depending on the level of proficiency you desire.

     This is the great gift of the individualization of the God flame. It is the gift whereby each one does share with the whole the fruit of his causal body of Life and his inner communion. Therefore, give freely, one unto the other, and see how we will make this world more receptive for right choice in matters of life and living and giving and wholeness itself.

     Beloved, mindful in this hour of mounting acts of terrorism, mindful of conspiracies in the planetary body that move against Freedom and Light and this nation as a symbol thereof, I tell you that in this hour the mighty angels of the LORD raise the right hand of God to stay, then - to stay, then - that action of Darkness. We implore your prayer vigils, then, for the exposing, the absolute exposing by the All-Seeing Eye of God, as well as for our intercession in the binding of those tools of terrorism beset by religious and political fanaticism.

     Beloved ones, that force has also hit home to your hearts in this past week. But be not dismayed but ever grateful that God is working his purpose out through you, through every trial, every setback. Thus, learn the lessons and be prepared for your assignment. For the LORD God has not left thee alone to solve the very problem of being and freedom and peace on earth.

     You are our very own, as all Lightbearers on the earth are - as are all sincerely working together hand in hand around this globe. We have not and we shall not leave thee alone. Therefore, seek. Seek, then, comfort and guidance, protection and direction in the secret place of the Most High.

     I AM Raphael. Remember, then, the angel who did come to trouble the waters at the pool of Bethesda. Remember, then, that whosoever did enter the water first following its troubling (the charging of it by the vibration of God) would so be healed.8

     Thus, I have come this day and troubled the molecules of the bread and the wine and thus use this as the instrument of conveyance to you of that portion of the gift of our Lord's Body and Blood.

     In his name, then, receive ye Communion. Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Go and be the LORD's servant.

     In his name, I AM Raphael, Servant of the LORD and Saviour.

Give us thy Holy Spirit, O God. For each and every one of us does now claim thy wholeness as our own. Send us forth, O LORD, with Archangel Raphael and Mother Mary, Saint Germain and thy hosts to be healers, not only of souls but of bodies.
Make us one as we are one, O God. And send thy angels to protect and direct us that we might complete this battle for the LORD and obtain that victory of freedom of religion in America for all.
In thy name, O LORD, bless this gift of our offering - offering our supply and our hearts and ourselves this day to renewed dedication to thy Work.
Let thy Word in us, O LORD, become thy Work. We decree it and we accept it done in the name I AM THAT I AM Jesus Christ. Amen.

It is a day of rejoicing and of all God seriousness as we commune together to meet that which has been presented to us as the next challenge.

Footnotes:

1 Tobias and Archangel Raphael. The Book of Tobias in the Douay (Catholic) version of the Old Testament relates the story of how a father and son, both named Tobias, and the son's bride, Sara, are healed and delivered through the intercession of Archangel Raphael (see Tob. 6; 8:1-19; 11:1-15). Scholars generally believe that the book was written before the first century B.C. The name Tobias is Greek from the Hebrew Tobiyah, meaning "God is good" or "the goodness of Yahweh." In the apocryphal (Protestant) version, the diminutive Tobit ("my goodness") is used in reference to the father. See the Book of Tobit in The Apocrypha, trans. Edgar J. Goodspeed (New York: Random House, 1959), pp. 118-19, 121-22, 124-25.
