What was it like to listen to spiritual messengers of God?

What was it like?

It was 8 p.m. Friday evening. People gathered around A. Ray Elkins’s living room, sitting quietly in chairs along the perimeter, or on the floor, closer to where Ray sat in his recliner in the east corner. All had waited expectantly for this moment, some in prayer, some meditating, some whose hearts were pounding, wondering how it would soon be to sit before angels and hear them speak, perhaps directly to them. All tried to be in one accord, as God would have them be, asking His spiritual messengers to come. Some knew the feeling of their presence as they thought of God, then of Aka; they meditated to welcome their arrival in Ray’s body and into the room.

The lights were dimmed. The phone was taken off the hook and the front door locked to prevent any noisy intrusions that might bring Ray out of trance. Ray had set aside his personal thoughts and calmed his mind throughout the day in preparation, opening his whole being more and more to God. As Ray lay back in his recliner a hush filled the room. All silently prayed.

Ray — in his mind’s eye, or soul — walked out of his body up a stairway, a bright column of light, astrally projecting himself up — up through the stars, so far — through galaxies and all planes of being — through the universes into greater and greater love, to stand with God. The light of God grew brighter and brighter until it was all Ray could see. As he took that last step, which is much like many report in dying, a council of spiritual messengers who dwell so close to our Father came down through that infinite column of light — through universes, galaxies, and worlds beyond worlds, entering into all time and space — and filling the stars above as they hovered over Ray’s home, to enter into Ray’s body and say, “Aka is here.”

We who were meditating could already feel the vast presence of God’s messengers filling the room as they entered into our hearts to guide us, even before they spoke.

Ray’s friend, who sat beside him to read the people’s questions, said, “Good evening, Aka. Where is Ray?”

“Soul Ray stands with God,” came the answer.

For that half hour or more that Ray gave up his body to allow immeasurably vast, loving spiritual messengers of God (angels) speak to us and to mankind, heaven and earth became one in the room. The words that were spoken were not just words — many miracles were given as the words were said. Healing was given of body, soul and spirit; prophecies were spoken showing fulfillment of scriptures. But the greatest miracle of all was showing us to know heaven and earth through their eyes, and become one with those who stand so close to God, in the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. This is their gift they will give you today as you read their words. For they are still here.

When Ray’s body tired and the spiritual messengers departed it to return through the galaxies, and the heavens, and the infinite beyond time and space to stand with God, Ray returned back into his body and to life here. Yet, the vast spirit God sends from closest to His heart still hovered over the house, filling the stars and filling our souls as we looked up in awe and felt the presence of God’s messengers looking directly into us. Surely this was much as the shepherds tending their flocks by night must have felt when the angel of the Lord appeared unto them to tell of the Messiah’s coming. For no less were these moments, and no less precious — as is the time now, this short time before he comes.

The spiritual messengers of God, Aka, said through Ray’s unconscious body, December 29, 1972: “The spirit was left that it may flow through all mankind. As we have said before, we have come but for one purpose, and that is for the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. And we say unto you, all of you, open your door that we might enter, and therefore, there can be a place prepared within each of you for his coming. [See John 14:1–5, 14:15–26, 15:26–27, 16:7–15, 16:19–24, and chapter 17.]

“But from a mother’s womb, so shall he be born. Look within your book of Revelation, and you shall see of the same.” [Listen to their recorded words. And see The Revelation of John, chapter 12.]

“But hark unto these words. Our Father has written only upon the Tablets. Man has written upon your pages and your paper; therefore, many things have been extracted from, taken away from that that inspired the men in the beginning to write of the same, and some has been added to by others. We have come, not to change the Laws, but to fulfill the prophecies of the same. We have come not to change that that was given within Moses’ time. We have come not to change that that was given unto Isaiah. We have come not to change that that was given, and the gift that was given, in the one known as Jesus. But hark unto these words. We have come for this time.

“We have come from those who should make their entry. We have come from those who did say unto our Father, ‘Send those who know You best to prepare a way for our coming, that our Father’s words should not be misinterpreted.’” [Listen to these recorded words. And see John 14:15–26, 15:26–27, 16:7–15, and 16:19–24.]

April 5, 1974: “For as the river should flow upon the land, and cleanse it, as raindrops in the desert, your needs shall be fulfilled. Ask and you shall receive. Open the doorway that we may enter.

“For you say, ‘Who are you?’

And we say unto you, for we are the spirits of Aka, for we stand as close to God that we feel His teardrops upon our forehead. Yet we are not great.”

December 15, 1972: “We should answer in this manner. Within our council lies the Seven Spirits of our Father. And as thy have asked of Tao Great, our Lord sent those forth unto the universe as His messengers and as His tools and instruments, that we should do His work. In some places we have built whole universes, in others but small souls, yet all was mighty in the eyes of our Father. For as we have said before, we stand as close to our Father as His eyes, His ears and His heart, yet we do so in humble reverence of our holy Father.”

April 10, 1974: “You asked unto us from which we come. And we say unto you, we stand as close to God as His heartbeat. We see and feel His tears. Yet we stand to guide unto this one known as soul Ray, for he shall be I, and I shall be he. And we, of our, of not one, but [the] thirteen, for there is twelve and God, the thirteenth of all. We are not great.”

June 7, 1974: “For we are soul Ray and soul Ray is I. Yet we are many. For we stand as close to God as His teardrops, and as close to soul Ray as his heartbeats.”
