Dear Family‚

1. I love you, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to share with you more fun‚ inspiring, and vision–increasing birthday messages from our friends and co-workers in the heavenly realm. Without too much ado, here's a quick peek at the contents of this GN.

2. First I'll share what was a highlight for me—some more insight about the revelation of Merlin's Hat that the Lord gave to Dad in 1977 (See "Merlin's Hat," ML #627). Though a little mysterious, I think you'll find it fascinating.

3. I'm including a potpourri of messages from some interesting spirit helpers. Aphrodite, Elijah, and Queen Victoria take the floor. Then there's a message from Asmet, a wisdom-filled heavenly sage. Following that is a message one of you sent me, from a little Palestinian girl, which I think you'll find encouraging—a reminder of the impact of our witness and what tremendous results just a little bit of love can bring.

Happy reading and feeding! I love you!

Love, Mama

Merlin's Magical Hat

4. (Merlin the Magician speaking:) Great mysteries and deep magical powers of the spirit world have been loosed unto you for this day and are in your hands! The world of the spirit contains an endless wealth of power and wisdom, and all that you desire this day has been granted to you through our great Lord. I have been given the commission to guide you into the truths and wonders of the spirit world, much as I did your David, for his anointing and mantle have fallen upon your shoulders.

5. The keys of the Kingdom have been placed within your hands and the Family's‚ therefore you may ask what you will and nothing shall be withheld from you except that which no man knows save the Lord Himself. All gifts of the spirit, all power, all wisdom are yours for the asking! Visions of never-before-seen places in the heavenlies, deeper understanding of the workings in the spirit, are all available to you.

6. The Lord has promised to give all to those who have given their all to Him, and to those who hold nothing back—and you, my queen, have done just that! You have yielded your all to Him and accepted His will for your life, even though it was by faith‚ and now your faith has been rewarded. By this faith, the keys of the Kingdom have been passed on to the Family, and the world will see and marvel at the awesome power that the Family holds!

7. Your David saw this and told you of the great things to come, yet even he did not see all that you were to accomplish, and there is more to come! This is but the "tip of the iceberg," as you say. For once the Family becomes skilled in the use of the keys, their awesome power will become magnified and seen.

8. You cared nothing for yourself and forsook everything so that you might fulfill this calling. By so doing you have become a clear and pure jewel that the light of the Lord and His wonders might be poured through. (End of message from Merlin.)

9. (Mama:) Merlin explained above that he had been given the commission to guide me into the truths and wonders of the spirit world, since Dad's anointing and mantle has fallen on my shoulders. I asked our Husband to tell us more about how this works, the significance of his hat, and how Merlin guides and helps not just me, but you too.

10. (Vision:) I see Merlin standing in space, and he has this hat in his hand. It seems that I'm seeing the same incredible cone-shaped hat that Dad saw and described in the Letter "Merlin's Hat‚" with holes in it‚ all in the shape of planets, moons, stars, suns and geometric shapes. There are beautiful, powerful light beams streaming out of these shapes and holes, all coming from within this hat.

11. Merlin appears to be doing a demonstration with this hat. He's taking it in his hand and moving it toward me‚ closer and closer. He's now turning the hat around so that the small end, the apex‚ is pointing toward me‚ and the larger end is pointing out into space. He's putting it up to my eye and encouraging me to look through the small opening at the apex. Now, as I'm looking through this small opening in the cone, it seems like I'm looking through some sort of inter-dimensional telescope of sorts. I'm seeing way, way out into deep space and even galaxies beyond. I feel like I'm moving at the same time—like my spirit is literally being pulled out of my body, even though when I pull away from looking through this opening‚ I'm actually physically standing still. In looking through this opening, I feel as if my spirit is being transported somehow.

12. It appears that this "hat" or cone is some kind of communication link to see beyond the natural eye to the fifth dimension, as well as a transporter of some kind. It's difficult to describe the sensation I'm feeling. On one hand, this cone is hat–sized‚ and I can hold it in my hand and look through this small opening on the apex, but when I gaze into the opening, all of a sudden I feel very small—minuscule, in fact, almost like Alice in Wonderland, ha!—Like I've entered another dimension. It's almost as if my spirit is stepping into this hat and I'm being transported in the spirit.

13. (Jesus speaking:) Merlin is the keeper of this "hat." He is its custodian and guardian. And yet, as I have spoken, your Father David had more power than Merlin. Merlin is but a channel of My power, just as I have many channels of My power, and just as your Father David was a channel of My power, wisdom, and knowledge.

14. Still, to this day, Merlin represents one of the greatest of earthly magicians and wizards of light. His power came from Me, and has only been further enhanced since he stepped back into this dimension. Just as he was given the commission of guiding your David, through the power given him by Me, Merlin has been given the commission of now guiding your Maria, who bears the mantle of David.

15. This little one—your Queen Maria—stands purely by faith under the mantle of David. At times it's been a heavy mantle to wear, one which has made her knees shake, but still she has stood firm, trusting and believing‚ choosing not to look at herself and her own human frailties, but rather choosing to look unto Me, her abiding Love and Author of her faith.

16. Your David had a very special calling and great spiritual sensitivity. He had a very finely tuned link to Me and the spiritual realm, and Merlin was given to him as a guide, along with a host of other heavenly helpers. But now Merlin—as custodian of what you have called "Merlin's Hat"—will take on a much greater and more profound role with your Maria. He, through the power I have given him‚ will help to guide Maria into all truth, and specifically through this supernatural marvel and wonder of My Spirit—Merlin's Hat. He is but a guide and custodian of this power.

17. "Merlin's Hat" is another one of My magnificent spiritual wonders—a wonder which has been revealed to you through your David, but which I now choose to unveil in greater detail. Merlin's Hat is a spiritual and inter-dimensional telescope of sorts—one of My wonders and mysteries of the spirit world. This hat has now been given to your Queen Maria.

18. (Vision:) Oh, wow! Now I'm seeing this hat grow to much larger proportions. It's growing larger than human size. Now I'm seeing Mama in the spirit, as our queen. She's so beautiful—though still simple in demeanor and attire—but there's an incredible light emanating from her‚ and she's sitting on a throne.

19. Now the cone is descending on top of her and coming to rest around her without actually touching the ground. It appears to hover a bit off the ground. It's transparent‚ because I can still clearly see Mama inside this cone. There are hundreds—maybe even thousands—of holes and openings in this hat all around her. Now through the small opening at the top of the cone above her is pouring this incredible golden light of key power which is filling the whole interior of the cone and bursting out of the holes and shapes in the hat. Wow!

20. (Jesus continues: ) Merlin's Hat—this cone—is yet another conduit of spiritual power, and a very powerful one. It's one of the wonders and marvels of the spirit world, which has been in existence from the beginning. It is inter-dimensional, as well as time dimensional‚ with many windows to the spirit world and spiritual realm within its boundaries. This cone serves a dual purpose. Stepping into this cone is like stepping into another dimension—the many layers and dimensions within My world of the spirit.

21. This cone was revealed to your David in a vision in the night, but now its power and mission is to be activated as never before in the days to come. Merlin's Hat has been given to Maria. Its power is in her hands. She may ask what she will through the power of the keys, and any one of the shapes and windows and holes will be opened to her, revealing untold mysteries and wonders of the spirit world.

22. This little one, your Maria, through her yieldedness and childlike faith in surrendering her all to Me and in holding nothing back from Me, is worthy of this great honor. The cone surrounds her and encompasses her, and she has been given these windows to My world. And you, as her followers and flock, also possess this awesome power‚ one of My wonders of the universe.

23. Merlin—as custodian and keeper of Merlin's Hat—will guide you into all truth, into a deeper understanding of the workings of the spirit and spirit world. Through claiming the power of the keys, in the spiritual realm you will be looking through the small opening of this "hat" and seeing the wonders it will reveal to you. It's a supernatural transporter with many "windows"; a time and dimensional shifter of sorts; a spiritual "telescope" helping to guide you in communicating and understanding more of the mysteries of My world, so you'll be able to see, understand, and utilize many more wonders and realities of the spirit.

24. With time, and in learning to hone the power of the keys, you will learn of its deeper powers, but that is yet to be revealed. (End of message from Jesus.)

25. (Question: ) Lord, Dad talked about Merlin in the Letters a number of times, but we don't know much beyond what he told us, because history is full of legends about Merlin but not many facts. What are the facts?

26. (Jesus speaking:) Merlin has helped you from the beginning. He helped your David uncover mysteries of the spirit long before your David knew who was helping him. He has helped you ever since, guiding you in the realm of the mysterious and unexplainable. He loves it!

27. He was a true character on Earth, but the legend of his presence came more from the times he appeared from the spiritual realm and from the testimony of those who had contact with him through the veil than from anything he did on Earth. He went to Earth mainly to learn about the limits of the physical world so that he could teach and instruct My children in how to overcome them. He knew he needed that personal experience in order to be a better helper of the spirit, and so he lived a life on Earth and experienced many things which helped him to be more understanding and aware of all that you go through.

28. He is dedicated to helping you‚ My loves. This is what he has prepared and trained for—these Last Days, when there will be much that is inexplicable, but which cannot be ignored or neglected. You must learn to use even those things you cannot understand. The spiritual realm is merging with the physical in a way that has not been since the creation of the world. And Merlin is one of your personal guides and instructors, who will help you to learn and use the power of the spirit to accomplish My will. (End of message from Jesus)

Messages from Spirit Helpers

To Mama on Her Birthday

Aphrodite:

29. I am the goddess of love. God gave me this job and the loving attributes of His Own Holy Spirit, Who has taught me much. Just as She is helping you at times, I have also been ordained to come to help you at times when I am needed. I am not always by your side, for you have so much love that my help is not always required. But when things are difficult‚ when you're tired and weary, when your heart aches because of some loss or news that comes your way that is disheartening and saddening, then I come to your side in an instant and I fill you with love.

30. I did the same for men and women in days of old, in ancient times, filling them with love upon the order of God. Sometimes the men and women of those days realized that I was a spirit, and they worshiped me as a goddess. Other times they did not‚ but they marveled at the love that I bestowed upon a woman of God's choosing, and they idolized her. As the years and centuries passed, men were confused as to whether I was a spirit or a person. Modern men have concluded that I was a myth‚ a legend, but I am very real, and I work to give love to those who need it upon my Lord's command.

31. The way that I fill you with love is I wrap you with a scarf that I keep for you. I have brought this scarf before our Lord for His blessing, then I soak it in the elixir of love—a beautiful perfume with a fragrance that is exceedingly lovely—then I take the cloth and store it in a special box just for you. This box is lined with rose petals and is a weave of gold and silver strands that shine with an unearthly glow, for the power of God rests on this box. I keep this scarf for special times when you need it most. It is filled with so much spiritual power that when wrapped around you, it gives you that extra boost of strength that you need to love‚ to give, to pour out, even when you feel spent in your flesh.

32. When you are weak and tired, when the cares of this world threaten to undo you, just call out to the Lover of all lovers and ask Him to send me to you with your scarf of love and power. I will run to your side with it, placing it upon your shoulders, and in that instant you will be refreshed and renewed in spirit! I keep this scarf for you always, and I will always be ready to bring it to you at any time! So call, and I will be sent to bring it to you immediately! It's yours for the asking!

33. In addition to keeping this scarf of love for you, you can ask me to extend the benefits of this gift to others. Sometimes it's not enough that you give and pour out‚ if the recipient of your love is not receptive. So you can pray for the receptivity of those you minister to, and I will spread the same love to them. There's so much love, really, that it's not limited to this symbol of the scarf. But this symbol helps you to remember to call on it, and remembering it can also bring you great comfort and reassurance. So call for it whenever you need it, for you or for those you are ministering to. (End of message from Aphrodite)

Elijah:

34. You are the queen of the Endtime school of prophets, and in many cases you'll find that prophecy is synonymous with miracles. I was not in charge of the school of the prophets in my time, but I was the prophet for the time and the miracle worker for the time—because hearing the Word of the Lord and obeying it gives faith for miracles. It's like a cycle. As you hear the Word, as you obey the instructions, then the miracle is performed.

35. I want to encourage you that you are doing a wonderful job overseeing, shepherding, and guiding this worldwide school of prophets. You'll see as they obey the Word that goes forth and the Word that they hear, that miracles will increase. Yes, showy miracles, alarming miracles, miracles that strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. I say "our" because they're fighting against the same spirit, the spirit of Heaven‚ the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy!

36. If you look through the stories in history, in the Bible‚ all the way up until the very end to the Endtime prophets, the two candlesticks—the prophesying and the miracles go hand in hand.

37. So that's my message to you, and my encouragement to you for your assistance in your school of prophets, that they hear and obey the voice of the Lord. You feel small, frail, and not much in yourself; you even wish at times that your own gift of prophecy was more eloquent and developed. But as Jesus said, "As you hear, you judge, and the word that you speak is not yours. For as you speak‚ as rivers of living waters flow abundantly out of your belly, it is the Word of the Lord" (John 5:30; 7:38). This has been prophesied. For as Jesus was, and as your husband and father David was‚ so are you in this world. And your school of prophets—those who know the Lord‚ those who are obedient, those who see in the spirit—trust that your word is the Word of the Lord‚ as has been prophesied.

38. Don't tremble at this or fear, but marvel. Jesus said, "He that drinks of Me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water!" The Word that they hear is not yours, but He that speaks through you—and numerous other spirit helpers. Happy birthday, queen of the school of the prophets! (End of message from Elijah.)

Queen Victoria:

39. When I reigned on Earth as the Queen of England, it was one of the greatest periods of British history, and as they said‚ "The sun never set on the British empire." People paid me great homage and gave me all sorts of honors‚ as if it was I who had done all of these things. Really it was my loyal subjects who did so much for our country and for the rest of the world.

40. A great deal of good was done, and also a great deal of bad, due to the greed and selfish intents of the hearts of men. I really wanted to see England be a blessing to the world and a help to those who were less fortunate than us. But as so often happens, all the people involved in government and the administration of such a large empire didn't always see it as their duty to give unselfishly for the sake of others less fortunate than themselves. And in order to accomplish the good that we did, I had to rely at times on people whose motives weren't always pure and who were tainted by greed or lust for power.

41. You might wonder why I'm telling you all of this. Well, I see in you the fulfillment of what I tried to do. I see the purity and the unselfishness of our precious Lord's love shining so brightly through you as you rule with great love and wisdom. You are a far greater queen than I ever was, and I say that not in the sense of power and wealth, but in the loyalty and dedication of your subjects, who will each accomplish more than 100,000 of my subjects. Even the deeds of the great men of my realm pale in comparison to the accomplishments of your loyal subjects.

42. I see in you many of the attributes that I wished to have but didn't. You have these qualities because of your yieldedness and love for our loving Husband Who blesses you richly with all that you need and more. Know that I am there for you whenever you need me to counsel you and guide you and help you rule wisely. I count it an honor and I am thrilled with the boundless possibilities of the future and all that you and your subjects will accomplish.

43. I am somewhat envious of the loyalty and dedication that you inspire in those you serve, for they are giants of faith who will do great deeds in the Name of our Savior. (End of message from Queen Victoria.)

Asmet:

44. I am a wise and wisdom-filled sage who stands beside you in counsel. Wizened am I, because for many eons I have served the house of David, and I serve you too as counselor and guide.

45. I appear to you now as an older man. My beard is long, my eyes are white as crystals filled with light, my hair tightly braided beside my face, and in my hand I grasp a staff. Though I may look old to your mind, I only appear that way as a manifestation of the wisdom stored inside of me by God. People see my nature and feel me to be an old man, but I am young—younger than you—but because of the immensity of the power and light stored within me, to your mind I appear as an old man. But make no mistake‚ this is only a disguise to help you accept me better.

46. I served your Father David; I serve our Lord and King. I am created as a wealth of wisdom, and this wisdom is now at your command and has always been.

47. Wizened sage or divine magnificence? The perception is yours to determine. But when wisdom is granted, the words are spoken through my mouth, and when called for I am always there. I am Asmet—creation of God, a keeper of the wisdom of God. (End of message from Asmet)

48. (Mama:) Asmet says that though he appears old he is younger than me, and at the same time he says that he has been serving the house of David for eons. I knew the Lord would have an explanation for what seemed puzzling, so I asked Him for further insight. He said:

49. (Jesus speaking: ) Asmet is a being of the spirit realm. Here, time—and age in terms of time—is irrelevant. You can be whatever you want to be appearance-wise. here in this realm‚ Asmet doesn't look like an old man. In fact, he doesn't look like a man at all. He appeared to you the way he did in order for your carnal mind to comprehend his magnificence and wisdom. He takes on many forms.

50. He says that he is younger in actual years than My queen because her spirit has been a part of Me from the beginning. He is not referring to the years of her life on earth. Here‚ age is a term that is used to denote wisdom and time spent learning the things of the spirit.

51. For My queen, it is necessary that much of what her spirit learned before her life on earth be held from her while she is there. I reveal just enough to enable her to do the job she has been given and to accomplish the task she has on earth. Were I to fully open her mind and eyes in the spirit, she would find it very difficult to focus on the things of the flesh that she, as your queen‚ must tend to for your sakes.

52. In this way, she is older than Asmet. She has a chosen place in My court and holds great wisdom in her hands. Yet it is necessary that this wisdom be accessible only as needed during this time in the flesh, or her time there on Earth would not be a test at all. Many mighty ones and chosen vessels have been given the privilege to experience this special time of training and growing in ways on Earth that they would not encounter here in the realm of the spirit.

53. Asmet has been granted the commission to delegate wisdom from Me to My children. His primary focus is on you, My queen and My king in these Last Days, but also on all of the children of David, as they need this wisdom released to them. Just because you don't feel wise and learned doesn't mean you are not. You are My children, chosen from the foundation of the world. You are the powerhouses of the End.

54. I control Asmet and allow him to pour forth according to your need, your ability to receive, and the circumstances and conditions you are in, knowing such wisdom will help you or those around you, and only limiting it if it would hurt you or them.

55. Asmet stands ready to give, but it is not his wisdom but Mine that he passes on. Even the greatest wisdom of man cannot compare to the most basic wisdom of the spirit world. That's why I said the wisdom of man is foolishness to God. You possess more wisdom than all the sages of all the ages of man in the flesh.

56. So this one, My asmet, is My gatekeeper of the spirit of your mind who opens rooms within your mind to reveal the wisdom of the ages as I know it is needed. When you call on him for assistance and wisdom to know how to do something or handle a situation, he petitions Me to release this wisdom to you. With My approval, he then enlightens a small part of your mind to understand things you didn't understand before, and in some cases‚ even enhances it with more wisdom direct from Me.

57. So call on Asmet when things are unclear or you need to understand but all is hazy and confusing. Call on him whenever you need to understand, and his petition will bring down the wisdom you need. (End of message from Jesus)

Text box:

58. (Question:) Asmet says he's served the house of David for many eons. Does that mean "the house of David" was around before Dad?

59. (Jesus speaking:) When I speak of the house of David in this context, I'm speaking of not only My David of the End, but also what he represents—My called-out children of revolution. My prophets have all belonged to the house of David. Asmet has served My prophets and My children, both in Heaven and during their missions on Earth, for many ages. He serves you, My queen. (End of message from Jesus.)

Lubna:

(Note from channel:) This prophecy came with a picture of a shy but pretty little Palestinian girl.

60. (Lubna speaking: ) Marhaba wa ahlan wa sahlan ya Mama.

61. I want to come and say Kul am wa'antum bi kheyr, to you, Mama. That's my language, Arabic, and it's what we say for Happy Birthday. It means, "May your whole coming year be full of goodness!"

62. But I didn't introduce myself. My name is Lubna, and I am just a little girl. I am a little girl from Palestine.

63. I never knew about you while I was on Earth‚ but Jesus told me about you when I got to Heaven. He told me about you because I asked Him about the beautiful clowns. They came to my school a few months before I came to Heaven, and sang and danced for us. They made us all so happy, when everything else around us made us sad. After their show I thought about the happy clowns, and I thought maybe they were angels—because they were happy and funny and cheered me and my friends up so, so much.

64. I was a bit too shy to go up and talk to them, but I looked at them and smiled at one of them. The pretty girl clown smiled at me, and it was like God smiling at me. I didn't know how a clown smiling could be like God smiling, but I kept thinking about that smile when I was dying.

65. Oh, Mama, I don't want to make you sad on your birthday, but Jesus said I could come and talk to you and it wouldn't make you sad, but it would make you happy, because I'm in Heaven now, and it's partly thanks to you.

66. Would you please thank the clowns, too? Jesus told me that they sometimes don't know how much they're helping us children.

67. We don't have much of a childhood. We go to our school when the soldiers let us, and we walk around checkpoints with soldiers who either ignore us or shout at us and point their guns at us and threaten us. At school it's also sad, and we don't play and sing very much because of all our friends and brothers and sisters who have died. The teachers are sad and they tell us all about the intifada and how we must rise up.

68. Mama‚ I don't want to hurt anyone, not even the Israelis. Some of those boys with those guns aren't much older than my older brother. They almost look the same. Sometimes I used to wonder if they had a little sister my age, and if they did, whether maybe we could be friends and she could come to my house and play. I was only 10, so I guess there wasn't much I could do to change all that. But some of the kids at my school wanted to kill the soldiers. I don't really blame them, because some of their brothers and cousins had gotten killed for no reason.

69. That's why they were throwing stones at the soldiers that day when we were on our way home from school. It had happened before and my mama told me to stay away from this type of action. So I was running and running and the boys were throwing stones, and then the soldiers got very angry and started shooting.

70. And that's when I got shot. It hurt really bad for a while‚ and then it started not to hurt so much, and all I could think about was the beautiful smile on the pretty clown girl. I kept thinking about that, and that was what helped it not to hurt too much. And then suddenly the smile changed and it was a very beautiful Man smiling at me. I thought it was maybe an angel, but a voice said, "No, this is Jesus, the Spirit of God, and the Savior."

71. Then He came and picked me up and carried me in His arms‚ and I couldn't see the soldiers anymore‚ or the fighting, or the ambulance I was in that was stuck in the roadblock and couldn't get through. I was in beautiful Paradise with lots of other children, and nothing hurt anymore.

72. After a while I asked Jesus about the smile, and He told me all about the clowns, and He also told me about you. He let me read the book about you when you were a little girl like me. I loved that book, because you were a shy girl like me, but you loved God and loved to pray, and to be alone in the trees and the fields. I used to love that too, when I lived in my little village, walking in the vineyards and olive gardens on the hills.

73. So then He said I should come and talk to you because it was your birthday. He told me how much your encouragement and your sample had helped the happy clowns‚ and especially the girl that smiled at me, and that you were like the leader of their group‚ though not many people on Earth know so much about you. So I wanted to tell you how the smile of God was like the way to Heaven for me, and I wanted to thank you for being such a good Mama to your children and encouraging them to keep smiling and keep showing God's love to the sad children like me who aren't allowed to be children.

74. Thank you, my dear Mama. Can I call you my Mama? I love your Family and I want to be a part of them, and Jesus told me I could, and could help them with their shows and learning my language and singing for the children and all the other things they do.

75. Happy birthday, my dear and precious Mama. I am so thankful to you and to all your children.

Ana behubbik (I love you).

Lubna (End of message from Lubna.)

Text box:

76. (Jesus speaking:) You notice that the witness that this dear child of Mine received was simply from a clown show. You might wonder how that could provide enough of a witness‚ especially with the counsel I've given recently about giving the meat of the Word more freely, and not allowing your witness to remain shallow or on a fundraising level. However, there are exceptions, such as this sensitive field where this little girl received her witness from the clowns.

77. In such cases where it would not be wise to witness more openly, or where you have to go slower, in those cases when you're doing all you can and following Me step by step to woo and win the people of those lands‚ I magnify and enhance even the simplest witness that you're able to give. I am able to enter into hearts that receive Me simply by receiving you, even if they don't understand it all.

78. I go where I am wanted, where there is a vacuum. And in many of those sensitive fields, the vacuum is so great, and yet you must go so slow in order to be able to remain there, that I choose to override the natural ways and means of bringing My sheep along, and I enter into hearts that even simply desire your fellowship, the light in your eyes‚ that partake of the love you give.

79. That's not to say that you should not witness openly whenever you have the opportunity—for when you have the opportunity‚ then I wait for you to take it. But I use whatever I can, and in situations where it would not be wise for you to witness more openly, I understand, and I use even the slightest witness to win and love in a great way My children of those hungry lands.
