The Greatest Gift
The Greatest Gift is from our Heavenly Father and it is His Divine Love. It is ours when our souls long for it and with its receipt we are blessed with a personal relationship with Him and we are given all of His attributes of love, happiness, joy, forgiveness, peace and freedom from sin. When our souls receive God's Divine Love, His very essence, we are transformed from merely an image to the substance and are assured of immortality and divinity in the Celestial Heavens. And we may do this now, with prayer to Him, if it is our desire to do so. This inspirational video was created from phrases contained in The Padgett Messages that were written by Jesus and many Celestial Spirits, who brought God's Truths to us so we will know how we may truly become children of our Heavenly Father.

A Divine Angel Helps Her Soulmate Get Out of Darkness
I am here, Caligula,
I was the Roman Emperor and the murderer of the Christians, and have since that time, and for my sins, suffered all the horrors of a Hell which I can't describe.
Suffice it to say that the Hell of the Bible, or of those who interpret the Bible, is not equal in its torments and horrors to the Hell that I passed through. I tell you this that you may know that every man will have to pay the penalties for the evil deeds he does when on earth, and as my deeds were so extremely evil my penalties were correspondingly great.
But, thank God, I have paid my penalties and am now enjoying the happiness of the Christian Heaven, for I am now a follower of that Jesus, whose followers I persecuted.
Strange as it may seem to you, the cause of my conversion to Christianity was one of the very Christians whom I murdered. She was a beautiful spirit when I first saw her in the spirit world, and when she came to me and told me of the great love of the Father, and the kindness and humility of the Master, I was then in much darkness, though I had suffered for many long years and my thoughts were commencing to turn to things that ultimately helped me to get out of my darkness and find relief from my sufferings.
But this Christian spirit came to me with such love and forgiveness in her speech, that I was greatly affected by what she said and by her appearance, and I listened to her as she told me of the wonderful love of the Father and the great desire of the Master that I should seek for that love and the happiness which it brings to spirits who obtain it.
She had many interviews with me, and at last, she told me that her happiness depended, to some extent, on my getting this Divine Love in my soul, and progressing with her to the sphere of light and love. She said that I was her soulmate and that my love was necessary for her happiness, and that I could not give her that Love until I had become the possessor of the Divine Love to some extent. So you can imagine what an effect this declaration had on me.
I saw that she was beautiful and pure and loving, and that I was not a fit soulmate for her, and that I must try to make myself a suited soulmate in order that I could be with her. And, in addition, when she told me of her love for me, and that we were necessary to each other's happiness, I had a most wonderful longing to be with her and enjoy her love, and the desire soon took possession of me, that I commenced to inquire the way by which I might get this great love, or start to get it, and she told me then of the love of the Master, and how he could teach me the way and what power he had to help spirits like myself to get out of the darkness and torture into light and happiness.
And so I continued in my longings and desires, until at last, my spirit seemed to have a power to rise out of the darkness and to meet other spirits who were not dark and forbidding as I was.
She often came to me and taught me to pray, and I did pray and ask forgiveness and for just a little of that Divine Love of which she had told me.
At last as I was praying and hoping for this Love and for deliverance, the Master came to me, and such a wonderful loving spirit he was, the most beautiful and loving and yet the most humble that I had ever seen or ever have seen, and he commenced to tell me of this wonderful love of the Father, and how it was working for me to fill my soul and make a child of God, and at-one with Him, and he told me that the only things necessary were for me to pray to the Father and have faith and in all earnestness repent of my great sins. That if I did so, the Love would come to me, and as it came into my soul all the sins and recollections of my sins would leave me so that I would be able to progress to a higher sphere where light and love were.
I could not resist his influence, and I did not want to for my soulmate was with me in her love, with pleading eyes and anxious looks, and I commenced to have this faith, and to pray with all the earnestness of my soul and, at last, light came to me and love came flowing into my soul and what a happy spirit I became, and thanked God for his mercy. My soulmate rejoiced with me and we were so happy in our loves and in the great love of the Father.
From thence, I have been progressing ever since, until now I am in the Celestial Spheres, where love is the ruling principle and only those who possess this Divine Love can live, and where Jesus is our Prince and elder brother.
Caligula, the Emperor, is now a humble follower of the despised Nazarene and happy in his humility and in his following of such a loving saviour.
My soulmate is with me, and whenever I look upon her and think that I was the cause of her sufferings and death upon earth, my whole soul goes out to her in great streams of love and she knows it, and that is a part of my great repentance.
So you see, that even though a man may be the vilest of sinners on earth, yet the Father's Mercy is so great that His love is never turned away, or is His mercy ever withheld.
I tell you that Love - the Father's Love - is the greatest thing in all the universe, and like unto it is the pure, holy love of the soulmate who has in her soul the great Love of the Father.
I must not write more tonight, but as I was passing I saw the brilliant light that is with you and I embraced the opportunity to write.
My friend, you must also thank God for his goodness to you, for I have seen your soulmate and she is a most beautiful spirit.
So with the love of a brother in Christ, I am your friend, Caligula the Roman Emperor that was, and the Christian that is.

Soul Transformation with Divine Love
Our soul, in the condition in which we possess it before the entrance of the Divine Love, is not in accord with the Love of God, nor is it a part of the great Oversoul.
It is only a special creation made in the image of the Heavenly Father having in it the natural love which was conferred upon us at the time of our creation and not having in it any part of the essence of the Father, or any quality that makes it of the Divine nature of the Father, or necessarily immortal.
But when the Divine Love enters into it, and it becomes permeated as it were with the Divine Essence, then it takes on the Divine nature of the Father and to the extent that it receives and possesses this Love, it becomes at-one with God and ceases to be a mere image and becomes transformed into the substance.
Our soul in this condition where Divine Love is present is altogether a different entity from our soul in the condition in which it was created and is no longer subject to the dominion of either the mind or of the animal appetites and desires and, hence, the spirit possessing such a soul is, in essence, a part of the Father, or as Jesus said, is in the Father and the Father in it.
Now, do not understand that such a soul is the soul that man originally possessed with increased development of purity and goodness or freedom from sin, because such is not the case. Your soul, by such transformation, becomes a new thing and never again can it relapse into the soul of our origin.
Because of the qualities that it then possesses, it becomes immortal, and such immortal nature can never be taken from it. It is now a thing of love and purity, and consciousness of its true condition is always with the spirit that has such a soul.
This transformation is gradual, and we must not think that by the mere act of conversion from our state of death we at once become possessed of the nature of the Divine, for such is not the fact.
The transformation comes according to the susceptibility of our soul to receive God’s Divine Love. But when once the inflowing of the Love commences, it continues eternally.
Although there may be times of stagnation and apparent loss of this Divine Essence, yet always is the transformation taking place and, at certain stages in its progress, the possession of this Divine Love will be so great that our original soul, or its original qualities, will entirely disappear and leave only the new qualities which the Divine Love has implanted in it. The leaven when once deposited never ceases to work until the whole shall become leavened.
This condition of transformation may be obtained by all of us if we will only seek for it in the proper way - earnest prayer to our Heavenly Father - and with faith.

A Soulmate Studies Spiritual Laws - Finds Soulmates, part two
When that time comes, you won't need anyone to find your soulmate, because she will be right at the portals of the spirit world with her arms open and her heart so full of love for you, that you will know yourself who your soulmate is, without having to have someone find her for you.
Yes, I know how happy you are and you make me happy too, my own darling Ned. Oh, how you must love me to feel that way for me and I love you with all my heart and soul, too.
Dry your tears and know that for every teardrop that falls from your eyes, I have one to correspond in love and joy. Oh, how I wish that you could see me now, and then you would know that I am your own Helen and that every drop of my love is for you and no one else. So do not cry more my own dear boy. You make me so happy that I can scarcely write.
You love me now as you never loved me before and I cannot tell you how happy I am, my own sweetheart. So do not cry more but continue to always love me in this way, and you will find more happiness than you have ever known before.
I do thank God for his goodness in giving you to me and keeping you for me in all these years that we lived together and apart. But, my dear, we will never live apart again through all eternity. Be all mine in thought and desire as you are now and we will know no sorrow in the time to come, my dear boy.
Only to think that you will be mine in all the years that are before us, and that no matter what may happen in the few short years intervening, the time will soon be with us that we will have each other without any veil of flesh to separate us.
We are one now, my Ned, and you need never fear again that your Helen does not write to you. Now you know and you will never doubt again.
Bless you, my darling, for this evidence of your love for me for now, never again, will I have a thought that you are not mine.
Tell me again what you quoted. "Steeped in the luxury of tears." Oh, isn't that beautiful and how I enjoy those tears, but do not shed more now for I know that they are all for me, and that your love is all mine.
No, not now. More close than ever before. No more distance. No more feelings of separation, only one close eternal one. My dear, how can I tell you my feelings this night?
Oh night, I will never forget the happiness that you give me nor the love that comes to me from my own true soulmate. He is mine and I am his, but we cannot ever know the extent of our bliss.
Please, my darling, dry your tears, and let me stop a while. You need not stop writing for the night, only stop awhile that I may rest.
I am rested now.
Yes, that is the way that I feel too. Isn't it glorious that such love has come to us. The Father is good to us, and how we ought to love him and thank him for His goodness. So when we pray together tonight we will let our whole hearts go out to Him in thanksgiving and gratitude that He has given us so much of His love, and so much love for each other for our love must come from Him. Without Him, we would not have the love we do for each other.
You are my lover as well as my husband and no woman could ever have been loved more than you loved me tonight. So do not let us further write as I am tired.
I will be with you in your prayers and watch over your slumbers tonight and try to make you have pleasant dreams.
So goodnight my own darling Ned.
Your own Helen

A Soulmate Studies Spiritual Laws - Finds Soulmates, part one
I am here, Helen,
I am in my home in the Third Sphere still, but soon I hope that I will be with your mother who is waiting for me to come to her. She is trying all she can to help me, and she says that if you continue to pray as you did last night for me that I will soon be with her.
Most of my time when I am not with you is given to helping the spirits who do not know the way to God's love and the necessity for obtaining it in order to obtain perfect happiness.
I am also engaged in studying the laws pertaining to spirit intercourse with mortals, as I have told you. I find that a spirit can only communicate when it is in a condition of rapport with the mortal, and only then when certain conditions exist.
Even if a spirit is in rapport it cannot exercise any influence over the mortal unless the mortal is in a certain condition to receive that influence, so it is absolutely necessary for the mortal as well as the spirit to have these conditions around him in order to get the communications.
You and I have no difficulty because we are in the condition that enables us to communicate at all times, although sometimes the conditions are not as good as at other times.
I feel that you are not so close to me tonight as usual for some reason, and it doesn't make me very happy to feel so. Tell me what the trouble is that keeps you away from me, and I will try to remove it, if possible.
I see and I am sorry for I have tried my best to help you, and if I am not successful it is not because I did not try. I understand and I do not know what to say for I don't see how I can give any more convincing evidence.
I see what you mean, and I am sure that you will not have to feel that I am not your Helen on that account, though I am not infallible, and something might intervene to prevent the happening of what I have told you, but I do not see anything now and, consequently, I am quite sure that you will be relieved in the way that I say.
He meant just what he said, and you must believe him. He will surely see that you will want for nothing as he told you, so you have so many assurances that I don't see why you should worry.
Well, I am specially endowed with the power to find the soulmates of the spirits. I don't know why it is, but I am. So is your father. He first instructed me and I am now working with him in that regard.
You would be surprised to know the number of spirits here who have no conception of what a soulmate means. They seem to think that they have to remain all alone, until some day they may meet a spirit to whom they may become attached and live with.
So you see I am doing some good in that particular, for when they find their soulmates they become ever so much happier and seem to think that I am their best friend and special angel to guide them.
Yes, they could meet and not realize that they are soulmates. I don't understand how this is, but I know from observation that it is so. Some spirits are so in want of the power of observation that when their soulmates come to them they do not recognize them until some length of time has elapsed.
I remember one case where a bright spirit from the third plane came to her soulmate in the earth plane, and tried to make him understand that she was his soulmate, but was unable to succeed until after a long time, when he awoke to the fact that he should have a soulmate allotted to him, and even then she had to tell him that she was his soulmate. He did not seem to have any longing for a mate. He was so much engrossed with things of earth that he did not think of soulmates or anything else of that kind.
So you see the spirits who understand that they have soulmates are so much better off in the way of obtaining happiness than those who have no knowledge of that fact.

A Soulmate Explains the Importance of Receiving God's Divine Love
Yes, we will love our parents and children just as much as on earth, but they will not need our love so much, as they will have their own soulmates to love them. We will visit them and be visited by them, and enjoy their society even more than when on earth.
They will love us very much, but the love that makes two souls one will exist only for the soulmates. God's Love will not interfere with that - I mean our love for God. It is of a kind that is different from our love for each other and is of a more spiritual and Holy nature.
I am so very much pleased to see that you are getting more of His Love in your heart each day, and soon you will do the work that the Master has laid out for you to do.
Yes, I am going to try to progress into the higher planes, and hope to do so as rapidly as is possible, but you may rest assured that no matter what plane I may be in, my love for you will not lessen, and I will not cease to be with you as I now am.
The life in the higher spheres without you would not be complete - you are necessary to my complete happiness. God has decreed that two soulmates are intended to make one complete whole, and they must, in order to be wholly happy and to fulfill the laws of His Love, live together forever as one. Yes, I know, because I have asked your grandmother and she has told me.
You can progress on earth just as rapidly as I can here, if you will let God's Love come into your heart as fully and as abundantly as I do; and you can if you will only pray to the Father. He does not require the child of His care to be in the spirit world in order to develop his soul.
You have the same soul now that you will have when you come here, and if you let God fill it with His Love while you are on earth, why should it not progress as much as it does here? God does not intend to wait until you come over here that He may give you the full enjoyment of His Holy Spirit. It all depends upon you.
If you truly and sincerely seek His Love, you will get it on earth just as easily as you can get it after you have thrown off the body. The Love of God coming into the soul of a man does not depend upon whether he is in the flesh or in the spirit.
All souls must answer for the sins done in the body, but it is not necessary that such penalties be paid in the spirit world - you can pay the penalty while on earth. As you sow so shall you reap, but the reaping is not necessarily here.
If you seek earnestly for God's grace and Love you can obtain them on earth, and I am informed that when they are obtained on earth, greater will be the progress of the spirit when it comes over. So let me pray you to seek these blessings while you are in your present life and not wait for them to be given to you after you have entered the spirit world.
Your grandmother says that she had that experience, and when she came here, she entered the third heaven, without going through a period of expiation or purification in the lower spheres. She is a wonderfully bright and pure spirit, and is very close to God, and has so much of His Love in her soul that her countenance really seems an illuminated face.
She is in a condition of almost perfect Love and peace, though she says that she is striving for a higher plane and a closer at-onement with her Heavenly Father. She is the one who can help you in your spiritual progress more than all others, except Jesus, who is the grandest and most glorious spirit in all the Heavens.
Let your thoughts be of a pure and holy kind, and you will soon realize that God's Love is in your soul to a degree that will make you feel that He is your own near and dear Father. Do not doubt His Love, or that He can come to you through the Holy Spirit, for that is His messenger of Love, and it will never refuse to come into a man's heart and soul, where the desire exists to have it come, by earnest sincere prayer for its inflowing.

They will love us very much, but the love that makes two souls one will exist only for the soulmates. God's Love will not interfere with that - I mean our love for God. It is of a kind that is different from our love for each other and is of a more spiritual and Holy nature.
I am so very much pleased to see that you are getting more of His Love in your heart each day, and soon you will do the work that the Master has laid out for you to do.
Yes, I am going to try to progress into the higher planes, and hope to do so as rapidly as is possible, but you may rest assured that no matter what plane I may be in, my love for you will not lessen, and I will not cease to be with you as I now am.
The life in the higher spheres without you would not be complete - you are necessary to my complete happiness. God has decreed that two soulmates are intended to make one complete whole, and they must, in order to be wholly happy and to fulfill the laws of His Love, live together forever as one. Yes, I know, because I have asked your grandmother and she has told me.
You can progress on earth just as rapidly as I can here, if you will let God's Love come into your heart as fully and as abundantly as I do; and you can if you will only pray to the Father. He does not require the child of His care to be in the spirit world in order to develop his soul.
You have the same soul now that you will have when you come here, and if you let God fill it with His Love while you are on earth, why should it not progress as much as it does here? God does not intend to wait until you come over here that He may give you the full enjoyment of His Holy Spirit. It all depends upon you.
If you truly and sincerely seek His Love, you will get it on earth just as easily as you can get it after you have thrown off the body. The Love of God coming into the soul of a man does not depend upon whether he is in the flesh or in the spirit.
All souls must answer for the sins done in the body, but it is not necessary that such penalties be paid in the spirit world - you can pay the penalty while on earth. As you sow so shall you reap, but the reaping is not necessarily here.

Faith - What It Is
Faith is that which when possessed in its real and true meaning makes the aspirations and longings of our soul a real, living existence, and one so certain and palpable that no doubt will arise as to its reality.
This faith is not the belief that arises from the mere operation of our mind, but that which comes from the opening of the perceptions of our soul, and which enables its possessor to see God in all His Beauty and Love.
The possessor of this faith will not actually see God in form or feature, for He has none, but our soul perceptions will be in such condition that all the Attributes of the Father will appear so plainly to us, that they will be as real as anything that we can see with the eyes of the spirit form.
Such faith comes only with constant earnest prayer, and the reception into our soul of the Divine Love. No one can be said to have faith who has not this Divine Love.
Faith is a progressive quality, or essence of the soul, and increases as possession of this Divine Love increases and is not dependent on anything else. Your prayers call from the Father a response that brings with it faith, and with this faith comes a knowledge of the existence of this Love in your own soul.
Many people may understand this faith to be a mere belief, but it is greater than belief and is existing in its true sense only in our soul. Belief may arise from a conviction of our mind, but faith never can. Its place of being is in our soul, and no one can possess it unless their soul is awakened by the inflowing of this Love.
So that when we pray to the Father to increase our faith, it is a prayer for the increase of Love. Faith is based on the possession of this Love, and without it there can be no faith, because it is impossible for our soul to exercise its function when Love is absent from it.
Faith is not a thing that can be obtained by a mere exercise of our mind, but has to be sought for with our soul perceptions, and when obtained will be enjoyed only by our soul perceptions.

A Personal Prayer for Divine Love
This is a modified version of the Prayer for Divine Love, which makes it more personal. May your soul receive an abundance of God's Divine Love today, tomorrow and forevermore.
* * *
Dear Father, who art in Heaven,
I recognize that thou art all holy and loving and merciful, and that I am a child of Thy care and not a subservient, sinful and depraved creature that false teachers would have me believe. That I am the greatest of Thy creation, and the most wonderful of all Thy handiworks, and the object of Thy great Soul's Love and tenderest care.
That Thy will is that I become at-one with Thee and partake of Thy great Love, which Thou hast bestowed upon me through Thy mercy and desire that I become, in truth, Thy child, through Love and not through the sacrifice and death of any one of Thy creatures.
I pray that Thou will open up my soul to the inflowing of Thy love, and that then will come Thy Holy Spirit to bring into my soul, this, Thy Love in great abundance until my soul may be transformed into the very essence of Thyself. And that there may come to me faith, such faith as will cause me to realize that I am truly Thy child and that I am one with Thee in very substance and not in image only.
Let me have such faith as will cause me to know that Thou art my Father, and the bestower of every good and perfect gift, and that only I can prevent Thy Love changing me from the mortal to the immortal.
Let me never cease to realize that Thy Love is waiting for me, and that when I come to Thee with faith and earnest aspirations, Thy Love will never be withholden from me.
Keep me in the shadow of Thy Love every hour and moment of my life, and help me to overcome all temptations of the flesh and the influence of the powers of the evil ones, who so constantly surround me and endeavor to turn my thoughts away from Thee to the pleasures and allurements of this world.
I thank Thee for Thy Love and for the privilege of receiving it, and I believe that Thou art my Father, the loving Father who smiles upon me in my weakness, and is always ready to help me and take me to Thy arms of love.
I pray, thus, with all the earnestness and longings of my soul, and trusting in Thy Love give Thee all the glory and honor and love that my finite soul can give.

Importance of Getting Divine Love in Our Soul
If you keep on trying to have more of God's Love in your soul, you will soon realize the full joy and peace which comes with such possession. Try to let your heart receive more of His Love, for He is always ready and waiting to bestow His Love upon you.
He is the one Lovely Father for you to long for and keep with you in all your thoughts and aspirations. Do not let the worries of life keep you from loving and believing that He wants you to become one with Him in Love and Grace. He is not only waiting for you to let His Love flow into your heart, but He is anxiously knocking at the door of your heart, that you may open and let Him enter.
Be true to your best spiritual longings, and you will soon feel that you have got that in your soul which will give you perfect peace and happiness. You must feel that your Father is so near you, that He must become a part of your life and being.
When that Love has fully taken possession of you, you will know that you are His own true and reconciled child, just as all are who have come into a realization of that Love.
You must not let the things of your earth life keep you from the higher things that the Father has prepared to give you. The only things worth striving after are the things of this spiritual Love of the Father. Be more anxious to get this knowledge, and it will come to you in all its beauty and convincing force. If you could see the Holy Spirit's work among mortals and spirits, then you would not doubt any more that God is a God of Love, and not of anger or retribution.
Keep praying, for that is the one great means to receive the Love of God. Without prayer we cannot reach the answering ear of the Father's Grace. He will hear the penitent only, for He will not accept anyone who is not truly and earnestly seeking Him.
We have a will to either accept or reject the Love of God, and until we exercise our will in a way to show that we want this Love, it will not be given to us. No one is ever forced to love God or to let God's Love come into our heart.
The Love of God cannot be defined, for it passes all understanding, but the result of that Love, when in our souls, can be seen and felt in the exceeding beauty in our countenances and in our wonderful happiness.
No fear of death or anything that makes us afraid can possibly exist where this Love is. It is not the Love that permits any feelings of jealousy or envy to have an entrance, but is so perfect and all soul filling that there cannot possibly be any room for anything but its own great self.
The Love of God is the only thing that can make us supremely happy while on earth and after we become a spirit.

Truth, Knowledge and Love - How to Find It
Love is the great principle that enters into all knowledge of things spiritual, and without love it is utterly impossible for us to rightfully conceive the truths of God and possess them.
When you are sure that you have discovered or have had revealed to you a truth, let it sink deep into your soul so that it will find such lodgment as will cause you to realize that this truth is a reality, and a thing that must not be forgotten or neglected in its application to your daily life on earth.
When you have found that the truth fits some peculiar condition of your mind's experience, adopt it as a criterion for determining what your course of action shall be.
When you have thus adopted it, let it always remain with you as a guide and monitor in determining what your belief as to the particular thing involved shall be.
When you have thus received this belief of the mind, encourage and feed upon it until it becomes a thing of established faith; and when faith has become a part of your very being, you will find that the accompaniments of such faith, in the way of longings and aspirations, will become things of real existences, which will result in actual knowledge.
When such knowledge becomes yours, then you have solved the problem of what is true and what is not. And when you have solved this, you will become a person who, when you utter your knowledge of truth, will speak as one having authority.
These various steps which lead to this great knowledge of truth, must be taken gradually and with increased confidence. In all this, the help and influence of the Heavenly Father are necessary, and such help and influence comes only in response to sincere, soul aspiring prayer.
Prayer must arise from our soul and the response must come from God. There is no other means by which this knowledge can be obtained. All knowledge of things spiritual, that we may think we possess coming in any other way, cannot be relied on, for there is only one source of such knowledge out of which the real spiritual truths of God emanate.
