IF I HAD THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL

Brent Anderson

My dear Brothers and Sisters if I had the voice of an angel there is so much that I would like to say to you from the depths of my heart. Of course I would talk to those who know me, but more importantly, I would talk to all the men and women of the Earth. As I write this, my soul is soaring with the spirit of God and I rejoice in a way that is beyond words or speech. This is not a rare happening for me since the time I was called home to receive a blessing at the Hands of Jesus the Christ, and it seems to come more and more often as I grow older. Perhaps this is a sign that the flesh grows weak as my spirit grows stronger. I don’t know of course, but I rejoice nonetheless and my love for you my Brothers and Sisters grows, and yet I am able to speak to so few. I have never been popular and was rarely chosen, but my Elder Brother has chosen me, and in this I have solace.

Hear if you will my Brothers and Sisters at the ends of the world that I love you. I used to love Science more than almost any other system of thought. I had little feeling about my Brothers and only little more for my Sisters. I of course loved my wife and family more than anything else, but now I can say to all, and would if I had the voice of an angel, that there is nothing as important as love of each other. Oh, I still love the beauty of science and the wonder of the Universe’s creation, but Love is all that matters in this world. The wealth of the world is nothing but dross and it will not survive for long. Sure it can be held and hoarded by the powerful, but soon he who had it dies. What will the powerful do when they reemerge in the spirit realm? Will they pursue the things of this world that will forever more be out their grasping reach? In contrast our Brothers and Sisters who value and give love receives it in return in a never-ending spiral of true wealth. Will you hear my Brothers and Sisters? Please hear I love you so and it is so important for you to learn these things while you are here in this World of travail.

We all came from the same family in the spirit world. We have existed as spirit children of the Father, who is God, forever in the past. We all decided to come to this testing place of our own free wills. We knew that we would lose all memory of home, and that we would have to find the way back by ourselves. We each thought we could do it, but our Father told us that we could not do it without loving each other and helping each other along the long and arduous path. He also told us that we could not do it without the help of our Eldest Brother’s personal sacrifice and yet we believed that we could do it and said, “Father send me now and I will do well.”

This day we all awoke in a world of trial and know full well how hard it is to be kind and loving to our Brothers and Sisters. The very genes of our flesh scream that this is a dog- eat-dog world and we must fight and win, otherwise we will not get ahead. We need no Tempter to lead us, for our bodies desire to excel in this world of kill or be killed. Our bodies demand that we be unfaithful in marriage and dealings with our fellow man. (Are our Brothers and Sisters just fellow potential victims to most of us?) They demand that we take our neighbor’s wife and goods, if not his life. But our Father, who is God, says that we must love one another, and our Eldest Brother, Jesus the Christ, says we must love if we are to return home successfully. Who will hear that message and care? They who desire to find the way back home will. I hope it is you my most Loved Brothers and Sisters.

Behold, I your humble brother who, was and still is rarely chosen, was chosen by our Elder Brother Jesus the Christ to be called home and there be bathed in the fire of God’s Love. I somehow survived that ultimate fire and was instructed as to what I would do with the rest of my life. I will never be popular nor have riches or even be loved by many, but I will do what my Father desires because I Love him with all my soul.

If I had the voice of an Angel what would I tell you my Brothers and Sisters? It is simply this, that our Brother Jesus Christ awaits you to instruct you and Love you. Will you pray to God that you may see from afar that glorious light that is our Brother and hear the still small voice that calls from afar? If you will, he will send the truth to you. It may come in the guise of missionaries or others of your Brothers or Sisters who have learned to love and follow his simple instruction to “Follow Me.” When you find that path, it will lead you to be baptized by someone who has received the authority of God from his hands or those of his chosen servants here on Earth.

The way back Home is not to be found by the authority of any man, whether Pope or Bishop or Minister. The only way is found in a personal relationship with your Brother Jesus the Christ. No Pope, Bishop, Minister, or even friend will help you when you stand before God for judgment, only He who was despised, ridiculed and spit upon by men of authority and power He who was valued with the same value as the lowest thief and murderer and robbed of life by the same men of power and Authority. He will plead your case and ask the Father for mercy and forgiveness for you my most loved Brothers and Sisters. Through him and only him will we take the first step into the Glory that is Home, and realize the goal that each of us had as we came trailing glory to live this terrible life of trial knowing “we of all our Brothers and Sisters” would succeed. I hope to be honored to stand with you there and to clasp you to my chest and weep upon your shoulder in gratitude that I am privileged to be your Brother. You are the stars and planets of my universe and without you I am as nothing. Please hear our Brother, Jesus the Christ’s, voice, he is calling you this minute will you please hear and follow him I pray in his name?

As I write this, my spirit is soaring as if to Heaven and my eyes are wet with tears and yet I do not have the voice of an Angel. I do the best I can with the meager words of a primitive language that will not even allow me to express the Glory that is my Eldest Brother, let alone the Glory of the Father. I am truly the least of your Brothers for I have no great talent, nor am I loved by the World, but I would crawl through hell to reach you my Brothers and Sisters for my Love overflows the bounds of my meager soul. Please hear; please listen, for you will hear if you try, just by asking the Father for guidance he will help you to hear. I want you to help me to become better and to be worthy to be called your Brother in the kingdom of our Father, and how will that happen if you are not there? My soul will cry in anguish if you are not there, and where will my solace be in that emptiness that will exist instead of you my beloved.
