God is the Creator of the universe and the source of Knowledge in all sentient beings.

"God permeates all things, lives within all things and yet is beyond all things—all at the same time." [1]

"What is God? It could be said that God is the sum of all relationships. God is the consummation of all relationships." [2]

God is

"God is the experience of total relationship." [3]

“God is so close to you that you cannot even turn around. God is so big and so magnificent that if you had only one leg and one arm and God, you would do well.” [4]

“God is here. Yet no one can be still. Relationship is here. Yet no one can feel it. Your Teachers are with you, but your eyes are moving too fast.” [5]

Step69-EllenMitchell.jpg

God "is the Source and Author of your life and of all life within this world and throughout the Greater Community of worlds in which you live." [1]

"Knowledge is God in you. God is Knowledge in the universe."[6]

“As Knowledge is the Mind behind your mind, so there is a Mind behind your Knowledge, and this Mind is God.” [7]

God is not

"God has no wrath." [8]

"God is not capable of anger." [9]

"God is not a person or a personage or a personality or a singular awareness. To think like this is to underestimate the Creator and to overestimate yourself." [10]

"God does not understand religion. God did not create religion. God only knows God. And because God only knows God, then God attracts you because you are part of God."[11]

God knows

"There is nothing in the universe that God is not aware of." [12]

“God knows what humanity needs even though humanity remains confused. God knows what is coming for the human family even though the human family is obsessed with its past. God knows that humanity must unite in the face of great danger even though people continue their conflicts and continue their admonitions against one another. What God knows and what people believe are not the same.” [13]

"God loves humanity. God is not angry with humanity. God knows exactly what humanity is prone to do under difficult circumstances, so God provides what is necessary to guide the human family, without taking from you your own responsibility as an individual, as a citizen and as a member of a group or a nation." [8]

God's Presence

"God permeates all things, lives within all things and yet is beyond all things—all at the same time." [1]

“God’s Presence is permanent. The world itself is temporary. The physical universe is temporary. God’s Presence is permanent. Can you then see what is great and what is small? Can you then see that which gives and that which must learn to receive? Can you then realize the importance of your preparation? Can you then realize the importance of your service in the world?” [14]

God's Plan

“The Creator uses everything for a greater purpose. The Creator does not come in and destroy the wicked and take control of everyone and everything and force a unity that people would resist and could not choose for themselves. Instead, everything is set in motion for redemption, for reunion, for contribution, for empowerment, for forgiveness, for true recognition.” [15]

“People are very adamant that God should come and make the world exactly the way they want it, but God has other plans. God’s intention is to free everyone here so that they may return to their Ancient Home. So instead of making the world a perfect place for your separation to exist, God has set in motion the forces to break your separation down. Very loving this is.” [16]

"God must enter a world where God is not welcome, in ways that do not generate fear and panic amongst those who believe the world is their only reality. It is for this reason that the Will of God manifests itself in subtle and ingenious ways in this world."[17]

God's Purpose

“God’s Purpose here is to unburden you and prepare you for true relationship, because you will not be able to do anything in life without true relationship.” [18]

"What gives your Being purpose, meaning and direction is its service to God. And what gives God purpose, meaning and direction is God’s expression through all things that can express God." [19]

“God is only interested in re-establishing communication with you. That is all that matters because that is the universe. What can you hope to accomplish here without that? Your span of years is quite brief. Your environment is far more powerful than you are, or seemingly so. There are countless adversities to undermine your progress. There must be something else. This then is where your trust must be directed.” [16]

The experience of God

“God has a Mind, a Will and a Purpose. In its totality, this is incomprehensible to you now, for you cannot stand apart from this Mind, this Will and this Purpose and be able to discern their meaning. You can only join with them, and the extent to which you can join with them will be the extent to which you will experience their reality, their value and their immediate necessity in your life.” [20]

God and creation: god of all worlds

"To understand God’s work in the world, you must understand God’s work in the entire universe." [21]

"You must think of God now in the Greater Community - not a human God, not a God of your written history, not a God of your trials and tribulations, but a God for all time, for all races, for all dimensions, for those who are primitve and for those who are advanced, for those who think like you and for those who think so differently, for those who believe and for those for whom belief is inexplicable. This is God in the Greater Community. And this is where you must begin." [3]

Enter the New Message through God

"You are no longer dealing with a local god, a local deity, a god of the hill and the tree, a god of the ocean and the river. You are not even dealing with the god of one world and one people, as you are accustomed to think.

Now you are dealing with a God of all the universes and Creation beyond the universes, a God so great that your mind can only fall down in praise.

Not a human God. Not a God that you create in your own imagination, but a God that you must experience at a deeper level, beneath and beyond the limits of your surface mind. For you to comprehend the God of the Greater Community, then you must comprehend the Voice of the Revelation."[22]

"God is too big to be concerned with this one world. God is not a human being. God is not limited by human understanding, human psychology or human emotions."[21]

"In the Universe, there are trillions and trillions of races. No one Redeemer can speak to them all. No one religion could speak to them all, obviously."[23]

God and creation: Earth and its inhabitants

"God is moving humanity in a new direction. It is time to prepare, to receive and to support the Revelation. People will complain. They will protest. They will resist. They will accuse the Messenger. They will denounce the Revelation. Unable to respond, unwilling to reconsider their life and their ideas, they will resist. This always happens at the time of Revelation. Those who have the greatest investment in the past will resist the new world and everything in it. They cannot see. They will not know. They do not have the courage to reconsider their position. They do not have the humility to stand in the face of the Revelation. What can God do for them? They asked so much from the Creator, but they cannot respond to the Creator’s response. What can God do for them? Be amongst the first to respond so that your greater gifts in life may be established and have an opportunity to come forth in the days and the years of your life. This is the power of Revelation—to unleash wisdom and Knowledge that humanity desperately needs now to prepare for a future that will be unlike the past. The blessings are with you. The power of redemption is within you, in Knowledge within you." [24]

“All the seeming power of your world, the forces of nature, the inevitability of your death, the ever-present threat of illness and loss and destruction, and all appearances of conflict are all temporary movements in the great stillness of God.” [25]
