The Holy Spirit is God's Messenger, or Instrument, that carries into the human soul God's Divine Love that is bestowed on the Truly penitent human in response to their earnest, sincere longings for the Divine Love of God itself.

Yes, I am your grandmother (Ann Rollins).
?
Yes, and I am in close touch with the Lord. God is a Spirit. He is the One Mind and Spirit that teaches all other spirits that the Divine Truth is the only thing that can save from sin and error. Do not let the teachings of the Savior become mere idle sounds in your ears. Believe in them, and you will be soon in the possession of the Precious and Glorious Jewels of the Divine Truth. Let him lead you to God. Love him and he will be with you and teach you the Divine Truths of His Father.
The New Birth is the flowing of the Holy Spirit (Divine Love) of God into your soul, and the disappearing of all that tends to turn your heart from the Truth and Love of God. It comes by the workings of the Holy Spirit that conveys the Grace of God. It is not a working of your own will, or power. It is the Divine Love of God that causes the change. You cannot, of yourself, change the evil workings of your heart. You can pray and the Holy Spirit (Divine Love) will come into your soul. Then you will realize the change.
The Holy Spirit is the Power of God, which He uses to influence humans to seek His Favor and Divine Love. It is not God Himself. Only one of His Instrumentalities, with which He works for the Salvation of Humankind. Let your Love for Him be the Holiest and best kind that you can give to Him. Pray for the Divine Love, with earnest sincere prayer.
Yes, Jesus is the teacher. The Holy Spirit is God's Messenger, or Instrument, that carries into the soul, the Divine Love that is bestowed on the Truly penitent human. Jesus is the saviour of humans by his teachings, and his example. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter that carries into the soul the Divine Love. Jesus is still teaching and influencing humans to turn to God. He will continue to teach until the Celestial Kingdom is closed. He will come as a still small voice that will reach humans souls and lead them to the Father. He will not come as the Adventist preaches.
Jesus will come quietly into each human's heart. In that way establish the millennium. He is not going to have a kingdom all his own. He is the son of his Father, and will remain in the Spirit World to teach humans to progress to the Heavenly Planes that reach up to the Presence of God. He is the most glorious spirit in all the Heavens. He is the greatest spirit under the dominion of his Father.
There is only One God. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are merely the Forces which God uses to carry out His Great Plans for the Redemption of Human.
Let me stop now as I am tired, your Grandmother. (Ann Rollins)

I am here, Jesus.
Yes, I am. You will be enabled to fully understand what the Holy Ghost is, and what meaning should be given to it, as you find it referred to in various parts of the Bible. I will say this though, that it is not God. It is merely one of His Instrumentalities, used by Him in doing His Work for the Redemption of Humankind.
I will not write any message tonight, but will commence next week, if you are in better condition.
?
Well, as you believe what I say, as to my being a son of God, and not a god, you can easily believe that my coming to you as I do, is not at all contrary to any Law of the Spirit World. The fact that I have my home in the Highest Celestial Heaven does not prevent me from coming to Earth to do my work, which has not been carried on by those of Earth who should have performed it. I am a Spirit of Love and Sympathy, as well as of Great Spiritual Development. I desire that all humans shall know what the Great Plan of the Father is, for their Redemption and Happiness.
So, because I am such an exalted spirit, as you say, it is no reason that I should not come to you, and communicate with you freely, and in a way, confidentially. I Love you, as I have told you. I have selected you to do my work. Hence, I am trying to make you one wholly at-one with me.
You must not doubt me just because I come to you so often and speak so familiarly with you. Because, I hope and expect that in the great future you will be very close to me and with me. I am trying to prepare you for so great a progression in your Spiritual condition, that when you come over, you will realize the Oneness that I speak of, and be fitted to live near my sphere.
?
Well, your grandmother is a wonderful spirit in her development. By the time you come over she will be near me, in my home. And, as I believe, will your mother and wife. They are all filled with the Father's Divine Love and are receiving It more abundantly all the time. They are now in the First Sphere of my Kingdom, and will find that their progress will be much more rapid.
So try to believe what I say, and do my will, and all will be well with you.
?
Well, soon you will be free, as I told you. Then you can do the work without being interfered with by material things. I know that it is hard for you to lay aside these cares. I am not disappointed, or impatient, that you do not. Only believe that the time will soon come when they will trouble you no more.
So as we have written somewhat long tonight, I will stop now. I will pray for you, as I always do. So with all my Love and the Blessings of the Father, I am your Loving brother, Jesus.

I am here, Jesus.
I want to tell you, once, and for all, that the Holy Ghost is not God, and that the “Unpardonable Sin” is a thing which has no existence, either in the World of mortals, or in the Spirit World. I never used the expression contained in the Bible in reference to the Unpardonable Sin. It has done more harm to my cause than most any other thing.
Well, I was not conceived by the Holy Ghost, as many believe. I was a human, Created and born as other humans. Only, as I have told you, I was without sin.
All writings which make the Holy Spirit equal to the Father are untrue. The Holy Spirit, as I have told you, is a mere Instrument of God in doing His Work among humans. For humans to believe that the Holy Spirit is God is blasphemy. But even that sin will be forgiven humans.
I hope that before we get through our writings, I will make it so plain and convincing that the Holy Spirit is not God, but a mere Spirit, though the Greatest Spirit in His Kingdom, that human will cease to worship it as God.
?
Yes, I will write a formal message on this subject. You will see that the Holy Spirit cannot possibly be God. So do not let this question interfere with your belief in me, or in what I write to you. You are now in the way to Truth and the Kingdom. If you will continue to pray and have Faith, you will become an inhabitant of that Kingdom, no matter what the Bible may say, which is apparently in conflict with what I write. So with all my Love, I will say goodnight.
Your friend and brother, Jesus.
Holy Spirit
November 5th, 1916
I am here, St. Luke.
I come tonight to write you a message upon the Truth of: What the Holy Spirit is.
I know that the orthodox generally believe and classify it as a part of the Godhead, being one with, and the equal of God, the Father, and not merely a manifestation of the Father, as Spirit, hence, necessarily identical with the Father, though having a different and distinct personality. In this belief, and in this classification, is included Jesus, having a distinct personality. The orthodox preachers and theological writers teach that it is a fact that these three are one, co-equal and existing, and that fact is the great mystery of God, and that humans should not endeavor to fathom the mystery, because the sacred things of God are His own, and it is not lawful for humans to enter into these secrets.
Well this declaration and admonition are very wise, as humans wisdom goes, and saves the expounders of these doctrines of mystery from attempting to explain what they cannot explain, because it is impossible for them to unravel that, which as a fact, has no existence.
Humans of thought, all down the ages, have sought to understand this great mystery, as they called it, and have been unsuccessful, as the early fathers met with the same defeat in their endeavors to understand the mystery. Then, because of such defeat, declared the explanation of the doctrine to be a secret of God, not to be inquired into by humans. So all these other investigators of the church, when they became convinced of the futility of the search, adopted the admonition of the old fathers, that God's secret must not be inquired into, for it belonged to Him Alone, and sinful human and the Redeemed human also must respect God's secret.
Thus, from the beginning of the established church, after the death of Jesus and his apostles, was declared this doctrine of the trinity, one in three and three in one, yet only one, and made the vital foundation stone of their visible church's existence.
Of course, from time to time, there arose humans, both in the church, (and outside the church) who, having more enlightenment than their brothers in the church, attempted to gainsay the Truth of the doctrine. Declared and maintained that there was only One God, the Father. They were in the minority, and not acting with the more powerful, their views were rejected. The mystery became the church's sacred symbol of truth, unexplainable, and therefore more certain and entitled to more credence. It seems to be the tendency of humans minds, or at least of those who believe in the Bible as the inspired word of God, to welcome and encourage as the more wonderful, important and the more to be cherished those things which savor of the mysterious, rather than those which a human may read and understand as they runneth.
Now here, not even in the Bible, is there any saying of Jesus, to the effect that God is tripartite, consisting of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. As a fact, never did Jesus, when on Earth, teach any such doctrine. Only this, that the Father is God, and the Only God, and that he, Jesus, is his son and the First Fruits of the Resurrection from the (spiritually) dead. That the Holy Ghost is God's Messenger, for conveying the Divine Love, and as such, the Comforter.
I know that in some of the Gospels, as now contained in the Bible, and adopted as canonical, it is said, in effect, that the Godhead consists of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, these three are one. Such Gospels do not contain the Truth in this respect, and are not the same Gospels, that were originally written. These original Gospels have been added to and taken from, in the passing of the years. And in the copying and the recopying that occurred before the adoption of the same. They, the adopted ones, were compiled from many writings. As the compilers, in those early times, differed in their opinions, as humans do now, respecting religious Truths, the more powerful of these having authority to declare what should be accepted, according to their interpretations of those manuscripts that were being copied, directed the copies to be made in accord with their ideas, and, I may say, desires, and announced and put forth such productions to be true copies of the originals. As these copies were successively made, the preceding ones were destroyed. Hence, the earliest existing manuscripts of these Gospels came into being many years after the originals, from which they were claimed to be compiled, were written and destroyed.
I Luke, who did write a gospel, and who am acquainted with the present gospel ascribed to me, say that there are many vital things, and declarations, that I never wrote and that are not True, contained in it. And, many Truths that I did write, are not contained therein, and so with the other gospels. In none of our Gospels did the mystery of the Godhead appear. That, for the reason that there was not, and is not, and we did not teach, that there was any Godhead, composed of three personalities. Only One God, the Father. Jesus was a son of human in the natural sense, and a Son of God in the Spiritual Sense. He was not God, or a part of God, in any sense, except that he possessed the Divine Love of the Father. In that sense was a part of His Essence. The Holy Spirit was not God, but merely His Instrument, a Spirit, The Holy Spirit.
As you have been informed, the soul of human existed prior to human's Creation in the flesh. Was the only part of human that was made in the image of God. It existed in this pristine state, without individuality, though having a personality, and resembled the Great Soul of the Almighty, which (Divine) Soul is God Himself, though the soul that was given to human, was not a part of the Great Soul, merely a likeness of it.
Some of you mortals have said that human's soul is a part of the "Oversoul," meaning the Soul of God. This is not True. If, in any of our communications, it has been said that the soul of human is a part of the Soul of God, and I mean while it existed before its incarnation, our sayings must not be so interpreted.
The Ego of God, as may be said, is the Soul. From this Soul, emanates all the Manifested Attributes of God, such as Power, Wisdom, and Love, but not jealousy, wrath, or hatred, as some of the writers of the Bible have said. He possesses no such attributes.
The ego of human is the soul. In their Created Purity and Perfection, from their soul, emanated all the manifested attributes belonging to them, such as power, love, and wisdom. Neither were jealousy, hatred, nor wrath, attributes of theirs, before their fall.
It is said that human is composed of body, soul and spirit. This is True. From your Life's experience, you know what the body is. I have told you what the soul is. Now the question arises, what is the spirit? I know that there have been for century’s great differences of opinion among theologians and other wise humans as to what the spirit is. Some contending that it and the soul are the same thing. Others, that the spirit is the real ego of human, and the soul something of less quality and subordinate to the spirit, and others having other views. All wrong.
As I have said, the soul is the ego. Everything else connected with human, and forming a part at their Creation, when they were pronounced to be "very good", is subordinate to the soul, and only its instrumentality for manifesting itself.
As Jesus has told you, the spirit is the active energy of the soul, the instrumentality, by which the soul manifests itself. This definition applies to the spirit of human, while a mortal, as well as when they become an inhabitant of the Spirit World. The spirit is inseparable from the soul. Has no function in the existence of human, except to make manifest the potentialities of the soul in its activities. Spirit is not Life, but it may become an evidence of Life, it is Life's Breath.
As human was Created in the image of their Maker, and as spirit is only the active energy of the soul, by the application of the principle of correspondences, which one of your former psychics declared to exist, it may be assumed, and it is Truth, that the Holy Spirit is; the Active Energy of the Great Soul of the Father. As we know, from our experiences and observations, is used as the Messenger of the Father to convey to humankind His Divine Love. I do not mean to restrict the mission of the Holy Spirit to humankind in the flesh, for it also conveys and bestows this Great Love upon the souls of the Father's Children who are spirits, without the bodies of bone and flesh, and who are inhabitants of the Spirit World. So, it is a Truth, that the Holy Spirit is not God, and no part of the Godhead, but merely His Messenger of Truth and Divine Love, emanating from His Great Soul and bringing to human, Divine Love, Light and Happiness.
So you see, there is no mystery of the Godhead. No secret that God does not wish human to know and understand. No Truth that it is contrary to God's Laws and Will, that human shall search for and possess.
It is said that God is Spirit. It is True. Spirit is not God. Only one of His Instruments, used to work with humankind and the spirits of humans. To worship the instrument is blasphemy. Only God Alone, must be worshiped. Jesus must not be worshiped as God. The Holy Spirit must not be so worshiped. The sooner humans learn this Truth, and observe it, the sooner they will get in At-Onement with the Father, and please the Master. Who, as some may not know, is the Greatest Worshiper of the Father in all His Universe.
I have written longer than l expected. I hope, from my message, many mortals may receive the Truth, and believe that the Holy Spirit is not one of the Godhead. And, that the mystery of the Godhead is a myth, without body, soul or spirit. That there is no Truth in All God's Universe that human is not invited to search for, understand, and possess.
I will now stop. In doing so, will leave you my Love and blessings, and will pray the Father to send the Holy Spirit to you with great abundance of the Divine Love. Goodnight and God Bless you until I come again.
Your brother in Christ, Luke.

I am here, John.
I merely want to say that your (spiritual) condition is improving, and that in a few nights we will be able to continue our messages. Then you will find yourself happier in more ways than one. I mean that you will feel better spiritually.
I was with you tonight at the meeting. It did you good, for there were many spirits present who have the Divine Love, to a more or less degree. Of course, their influence was being exercised on and felt by the worshipers.
The preacher is a man with a considerable amount of the Divine Love in his soul. If he only had the True conception of Jesus, he would find himself possessing more of this Divine Love. His idea of the Holy Spirit is such that it interferes with his receiving the effect of the work of the Holy Spirit. He thinks and believes it to be an entity, in other words, a being of substance, thought and sentient capacity, whereas, as you know, it is not, merely the evidence of the working of God's Own Soul, in bestowing upon mortals His Divine Love and Mercy. The Holy Spirit is God's Messenger for this purpose. Is not a creation of His, as is Jesus and humankind. It is merely an energy of the Soul of the Father, conveying His Divine Love. The Holy Spirit could have no existence without the Soul of the Father, and is entirely dependent upon the Powers of that Soul for its existence. Only in the sense that it conveys God's Divine Love can it be called the Comforter.
To grieve the Spirit, as the preacher said, means only that the Divine Love of God is grieved, which is, in fact, not True. This Divine Love is never grieved, as it is so Great, and so Intense, in its desire that humans shall receive it, that it never becomes grieved. Though, it is often disappointed, as you may say, that humans will not receive it. It is always present, waiting for humans to receive it, by their longings and prayers cause their souls to be opened up to its reception. This remember; that this Divine Love of the Father is so Very Great, that the Spirit which conveys it to human cannot become grieved.
Well, I did not intend to write on this subject tonight. What I have said is merely fragmentary. Sometime I will come and write in detail.
You must pray more, and let your Faith increase. You will find what the Holy Spirit is, and how it operates. Your prayers will be answered, and a great inflowing of the Divine Love. Also your desires will be realized. Keep up your courage. You will not be disappointed. Today may look dark and dreary, but tomorrow the sun will shine, and you will enjoy the sunlight.
I will not write more now. So with my Love and blessings, I will say goodnight.
Your brother in Christ, John.
Holy Spirit
May 10th, 1920
Let me write for a short time upon a subject that will be of interest to you, and to those who may read my messages.
What I desire to write upon tonight is: The condition of those who think they have received the inflowing, or baptism, of the Holy Spirit, when the fact is that they have received only that advancement in the Purification of their Natural Love, and a Harmony with the Laws of Their Creation, that causes them to believe that what they experience must be the result of a bestowal of the Divine Love, which the Holy Spirit brings to mortals.
In this mistake so many humans indulge. In the satisfaction, or rather happiness, which their experience, growing out of such an increase in the Harmony, brings to them, they fully believe that the Holy Spirit has taken possession of their souls and caused the happiness. But in thus concluding, they are deceiving themselves, and will realize their mistake when they come to an Awakening in the Spirit Life.
The Holy Spirit is that part of God's Spirit that Manifests His Presence and Care, in conveying to human souls, His Divine Love. This Divine Love is the Highest, Greatest and Most Holy of His Possessions, and can be conveyed to humans only by the Holy Spirit.
This appellation is used in contradistinction to the mere Spirit, which demonstrates to humans the operation of God's Soul in other directions and for other purposes. His Creative Spirit, His Caring Spirit, and the Spirit that makes effective His Laws and Designs in the Governing of the Universe, are not the Holy Spirit. Though, equally part of God's Soul, and equally necessary for the Manifestations of His Powers and the exercise of the Energies of His Soul. These deal with the things of the Universe that do not have interrelationship with the Soul of God, and the soul of human. Whenever the Holy Spirit is spoken of, it should mean only that part of God's Spirit, which Transforms the souls of humans into the Substance of the Soul of God, in its Quality of Divine Love.
I heard the preacher’s discourse Sunday night on the work of the Holy Spirit, as portrayed in the contents of the New Testament. Saw that his conclusions from these contents were wholly erroneous and apart from the Truth. As he said, the effects of the workings of the Holy Spirit are shown in more ways than one. Not every one upon whom It is bestowed, is filled with the same powers of displaying its presence and possession. Now in all these evidences of its existence in the experiences given, it must be understood that it is limited in its operations, to those conditions, and Manifestations, that have their source in the Divine Love of the Father that was bestowed upon humankind at my coming in the flesh. That those evidences of the existence, that have no relationship to this Divine Love, are not evidences of the Presence of the Holy Spirit. As mentioned in the New Testament, when it was bestowed upon my disciples at Pentecost, it came as with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, which has before been explained to you, that shook the room in which the disciples were assembled, and filled them with its powers. Which means only, that this Divine Love came into their souls in such abundance that they were shaken in their souls, to such an extent that they thought the building in which they were assembled was disturbed. In this they were mistaken, for the effect of the Presence of the Holy Spirit, is not to affect the things of inanimate nature, but is confined to the souls of humans.
The preacher must know that because humans are possessed with powers to accomplish the mental, or material, things of their Living, they are not necessarily possessed with the Holy Spirit. Much of the physical healing of mortals is caused by powers that are bestowed upon humans, or some humans, that are not connected with, or proceed from, the Holy Spirit. That there is evidence of this; humans will recollect that the Old Testament is full of instances where humans were healed of their diseases, and other wonderful things performed, at the time that the Holy Spirit was excluded from human's possession. Yet these marvels, as then considered, were performed by humans claiming to be endowed with the Spirit of God, which is working for the Good and Happiness of humankind, and which will continue to work, until humans shall become in Harmony with themselves, as First Created.
I understand the object of the preacher, in attempting to show and convince his hearers, that because they have not those powers that the Bible describes as having been possessed by my disciples after the bestowal of the Holy Spirit, that therefore, they must not believe and conclude that they, his hearers, have not this blessing. His intentions and efforts were commendable. Arose from the desire that his hearers should not become disheartened and disappointed in their efforts to obtain the inflowing of the Divine Love that the Holy Spirit brings to humans. But on the other hand, his teachings were dangerous and misleading to these hearers, for the natural consequence of such teaching is to lead humans into the belief, or persuasion, that they possess this Power and Comforter, when they do not. Thus prevent them from seeking for an obtaining this Comforter, in the only way in which it can be obtained. The Holy Spirit, primarily, has nothing to do with great mental or physical achievements. To say that because a human is a great inventor, or philosopher, or surgeon, who does things without knowing where the inspiration or suggestion to do the things comes from, therefore they are possessed of the Holy Spirit, is all wrong and misleading.
All things, mediately, or immediately, have their existence, operation, and growth in the Spirit of God, and only in that Spirit. Which Spirit is evidenced in many and varied ways, in humans experience. Hence, humans say that they live, move, and have their being in God, meaning only that they Live, move, and have their being in God's Spirit. This Spirit (of God) is the source of Life, Light, Health, and numerous other Blessings that humans possess and enjoy. The sinner as well as the saint, the poor human as well as the rich, the ignorant as well as the enlightened and educated, are each, and all, dependent on this Spirit for their being and comfort. This is the Spirit that all humans possess, to a greater, or lesser, degree. The brilliant preacher, or teacher, or orator, possessing this Spirit to a greater degree, than their less favored brother, depends upon the same Spirit. It is Universal in its Existence and Workings, is Omnipresent, and may be acquired by all humans, in this sense, to the degree that their mental receptivity permits. This further demonstrates the fact that God, through, and by this Spirit, is with humans always, in the lowest hells, as well as in the highest heavens of the Perfect Human. It is working continuously, ceaselessly, and always at the call of humans, be that call mental, or Spiritual. It is the thing that controls the Universe, of which human’s Earth is an infinitesimal part. This is the Spirit of God.
But the Holy Spirit, while a part of the Spirit of God, yet is as distinctive, as is the soul of human distinctive from all other Creations of God. It is that part of God's Spirit that has to do with the relationship of God's Soul and human's soul, exclusively. The subject of Its operation is the Divine Love of the Father's Soul. The object of Its workings is the soul of human. The great goal to be reached by Its operations is; The Transforming of the soul of human into the Substance of the Father's Divine Love, with Immortality as a necessary accompaniment. This is the Great Miracle of the Universe. So High, Sacred, and Merciful is the Transformation, that we call that part of God's Spirit that so works, the Holy Spirit.
So let not teachers or preachers teach, or their hearers believe, that every part of God's Spirit that operates upon the hearts, thoughts, and feelings of human is the Holy Spirit, for it is not True. Its mission is the Salvation of Humans, in the sense of bringing them into that Harmony with God that the very souls of humans will become a part, in Substance, and not in image merely, of the Soul of God. Without this working of the Holy Spirit, humans cannot become in such Union.
I have written you before as to how this Holy Spirit works, and The Way in which it can bring humans the Divine Love of the Father, and what is necessary for Its inflowing. The Way described is the Only Way! Humans must not believe, and rest in the security of such belief, that every working of the Spirit of God is the working of the Holy Spirit.
Except a human be born again, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Such attainment is possible only by the working of the Holy Spirit.
Oh, preacher, upon whom a great responsibility rests, learn the Truth, and then lead humans into the Way of Salvation.
I will not write more now, but will come again and deliver another message. Believe that I Love you, and am, your friend and brother, Jesus.
