A Roman centurion chief officer named Valerius, with faith, asks Yeshua to heal his servant, and he is healed that very hour. Yeshua speaks to the crowd that remains about the consequences of their actions, the good will draw light to their soul and the bad will draw darkness, and reminds them that it is never too late to turn from darkness to the light for you never know when your last day upon the Earth will be so do not delay, as your eternity awaits you—the good to the good, the bad to the bad.

1 After spending the night in his home with his family, Yeshua arose on the following morning to see that many of the people from the multitude of the previous day were still encamped around Capernaum and the Communities of Light.
2 Within two hours of daylight, Cephas and some of the Apostles arrived by boat, and Yeshua told them that he would preach briefly to the crowd once more and desired to do so from their boat on the lake as he had done previously so that everyone might see and hear him easily.
3 Walking the short distance from his house to the lake shore, Yeshua was approached by the Roman centurion Valerius, who was a chief officer of Galilee area and lived in a large villa overlooking the lake between Gennesaret and Tiberias.
4 He was well known among the people living on Lake Gennesaret, for his generosity of purse and benign treatment of the people. He had given a goodly sum of money to help build the synagogue at Capernaum.
5 Valerius came to Yeshua, beseeching him, saying, “Man of mystery, I know not who you really are, but that great powers work through you; this I know.
6 Despite your words, which can inflame minds, I have commanded my men that none should harm you or your people or interfere in your movements.
7 I pray you will hear me now and give favor in return for the favor I have given to you. I have a cherished servant, a kind and gentle man, who is even now lying on a bed in my home, wracked with pain and suffering from palsy. I ask you with deep sincerity and good will if you would consider healing this fine man.”
8 Yeshua answered him, saying, “When I have finished speaking to the people at the lake, I shall come to your home and heal him.”
9 But Valerius protested, saying, “I am not worthy that you should come into my house and be under my roof, for I do not live as you teach, though I have studied your teachings, and they have led me to much thought and contemplation.
10 But we have still some things in common. Like you, I am a man of authority. I command men to go here or go there, and it is done; or to do this or do that, and it is so.
11 Therefore, do not soil yourself at my home, but merely speak the words as you will, and I know without doubt that my servant, who faithfully lives as you teach, shall be healed.”
12 Yeshua marveled when he heard the words of Valerius, and turning to his Apostles, he said, “Verily, I say unto you: Seldom have I found such great faith among all the people whom Elohim has blessed in this land.
13 In this, you see the future coming to pass, for when those who are given the birthright cast it upon the ground; it shall be picked up and cherished by those to whom it had not been given.
14 And I say unto you that many shall come from the east and the west and the north and the south, saying, ‘We shall sit with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of Heaven, for it is our birthright.’
15 But on that day, they shall be cast into outer darkness where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, for what has been abandoned cannot be inherited, even as the future is written by the present.”
16 Then turning to the centurion, Yeshua said unto him, “You are a good man, but there is a great man inside of you desiring to come out. Listen to your heart, and it will tell you things your mind does not know.
17 Go now your way as you will. As you have believed and had faith, so it has been done for you.” And the servant of Valerius was healed that very hour.
18 Shortly thereafter, Yeshua was in the boat with Cephas and Yohhanan while his family and the other Apostles sat or stood along the shoreline with the gathering crowd of people.
19 About the third hour after sunrise, Yeshua began to speak to the multitude, saying, “Some of you have been away from your homes for many days now, and it is time for you to return.
20 Will you be the same person when you return as you were when you left or will you be different?
21 My teachings are like seeds sown upon good soil. Each of you is the good soil. You would not have come here and remained here for these days if your hearts were not beating to my words and your eyes not seeking a greater light.
22 But when you return to your home, you become the gardener of your life, which is your greatest stewardship. For my seeds to grow and fill you with light, you must wisely cultivate the garden of your life.
23 You are also the steward of many more things, including your relationships, which can span eternity. But unless you first are a good steward of your own life, unless you first cultivate and blossom the garden that bears your name, a good steward of anything else, you can never be.
24 What do you hope for in the days to come? What do you work and strive for? Are you caught in a rut upon the road of life? Do you see tomorrow as only another day of the same challenges and maybe more or as a new dawn, rising upon a new and better life?
25 To know the answer, you merely need to look at your life. If you return home and nothing is different with the way you think and speak and act, if your weaknesses are still your weaknesses and the friends who would lead you to temptation still beckon, then you remain upon the road you have always traveled. Today will be as yesterday and tomorrow as today.
26 But new seeds have been planted in your heart. They will grow into marvelous flowers of the Sun if you will but cultivate and nourish them.
27 And how is this done? How do you cultivate the flowers of Celestine Light planted in your heart? With love and humility, with repentance and restitution, with respect and honesty, with service and prayer, with a life renewed as the old garden is turned under that the new garden may blossom.
28 Therefore, do not just hear my words and nod your heads in agreement, but hear my words and do them.”
29 Then a man stepped to the lake shore from the crowd, and he was a zealot who had been standing with the Apostle Shim’on. And raising his voice, he spoke out to Yeshua, saying, “You speak of being a steward over your own life and that is all well and good, but how can a man who is a slave be the steward over his own life or even a man who is not a slave, but under more subtle bondage as a citizen of a kingdom ruled by a tyrant king?”
30 Yeshua answered him, saying, “Thank you for your question, Garz-el. You have well introduced that which I desired to speak upon.”
31 The man was startled to hear Yeshua call him by name, and in surprise, he asked, “How did you know my name? We have never met or spoken.”
32 Yeshua answered him, saying, “A shepherd knows his sheep, even as the sheep know their shepherd. When a new sheep joins the flock, he does not need to be shown to the shepherd to be known by him, any more than the shepherd needs to be introduced to the sheep to be able to single him out from among the flock.
33 Even a slave can be a steward over themselves. The master may dictate where the slave must go and what he must do, what he must wear, and what he must eat and drink. But the master cannot dictate what the slave will think, nor hear his prayers to Elohim, or know the true desires of his heart.
34 In all things, Elohim expects the best you have to offer of yourself, but does not expect more than you can give, even as the slave who is a good steward over his thoughts and prayers and desires, but is not held accountable for the food or drink he is compelled to consume by his master or the clothes he must wear or the things he must do.
35 And woe unto the master who compels his slave to do evil or to the officer of the army who compels his soldiers to initiate attacks against the peaceful instead of only protections and defense against the marauders, or to the rulers of kingdoms who compel the innocent to evil, who would otherwise be pure.
36 For them, it would almost be better that they had never been born, for when one man forces another to sin, where to object would be death or great penalty, that man takes upon him the sins of they who were compelled, and the penalties in the hereafter shall be multiplied seventy times upon that man.
37 And though a man of darkness may compel one of light to commit evil and may escape a penalty in this life, know that it is only for a breath of eternity, and in the hereafter all shall be held accountable for the actions of their lives for much longer than a breath.
38 In the hereafter, each person’s light and darkness shall be weighed in the balance, and they who are found wanting shall be cast out into outer darkness, into the place of torment which they created in life, and are pulled to in the life to come by their own resonance.
39 And in that prison of their making, there shall be great weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, until they have paid the utmost and redeemed themselves.
40 In outer darkness, the evil will burn; every part of them inside and out shall feel as if fire is eating at them, but they will never be consumed; always burning, but never scorched, in the flames, but without light, but also in utter cold, in impenetrable darkness and loneliness without solace.
41 And it is not by Elohim that their torment comes, but only by their own hand by the resonance they created by their thoughts and actions in their previous life.
42 Before the world ever was, Elohim laid out the plan by which all things would be, not just in this life, but also in the life to come.
43 And to all the thoughts of man, there would be an accounting. And to all the actions of man, there would be an accounting. And the accounting is written upon the resonance of your soul.
44 Good thoughts and deeds are credited with light upon your soul. Wicked thoughts and deeds bring darkness to your soul.
45 Once your last breath in mortality is taken, your soul will rise at once to a place of judgment, or so it is thought. But in reality, this is but a house of measures.
46 Your soul is put into a balance, and the light and the darkness which you put into it in mortality are weighed one against the other until your place of resonance is determined.
47 And there you are sent, not by force or decree, but by the inexorable pull of your own soul toward its resonance, the dark to the darkness and the light to the light.
48 The difference is in this life; you may sin and not only feel no pain or consequences from your actions, but might even feel pleasure in your sin. But in the eternity to come, you cannot escape the consequences of your darkness.
49 If your balance is found wanting, you will be pulled by the resonance you created in life, into the outer darkness.
50 The greater your darkness in life, the deeper into outer darkness you will be drawn; and the deeper into outer darkness you fall, the greater the pain that never ends will wrack you and torment you, and the fire that burns but never consumes will torture you.
51 Knowing this, a man should consider well before he compels another to sin, for the darkness of the sin is multiplied seventy times upon the head of the man who compels or seduces another to do evil.
52 How much greater then will be the weight of the darkness of his soul when it is weighed in the balance?
53 But even as the soul of a man can be drawn into outer darkness in eternity because of his sins in this life, so can the soul of a man be drawn into greater light, even into the presence of the Elohim, by the weight of the light in his soul from the good thoughts and deeds of his sojourn in mortality.
54 The same man who owns a slave and has compelled him to do evil can free his slave and ask forgiveness of his slave by word and make restitution by deed. In this, great light comes into his soul and puts away the darkness.
55 The same commander who ordered his men to attack a city whose people had not attacked them could, when given the choice again, refuse to so act. In the future, helping to build instead of destroy, he could bring light to his soul instead of darkness.
56 The same king who ruled his people unjustly and compelled them to act against their light could repent and ask forgiveness of his people and then prove the value of his words by his good deeds; thus where before his soul drew darkness unto it, now it would draw light.
57 It is never too late to turn from darkness to the light. But you know not which day and hour your soul shall be called from this life to make an accounting for eternity. Therefore, do not procrastinate or delay to think, act, and live in the Celestine Light.
58 Your eternity awaits you, and whether you live in a world of light and joy and abundance or a world of darkness and cold and hunger depends entirely upon the choices you make every moment of every day, for you are the architect and builder of your forever.”
