# There Is Fate and Yet There Is No Fate **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Augustine|Augustine]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2015-03-24 *There is fate and yet there is no fate. God sees all and anticipates all, and in time His Will is enacted. To have willing souls who are ignited by God's Love is a treasure in this world - for through them miracles may be manifested.* --- My beloved souls, it is your teacher, Augustine. So we embark on another adventure together, which will in time open up into a whole entire chapter and many series of events which you will not anticipate but will unfold as the will of God manifests in your lives and in this place. Do not try and anticipate these events but accept and go upon your guidance, allow this flow of God's will to manifest as it should be in all its beauty and grace and perfection. Indeed, this instrument has thanked God for all the series of events that have brought him and his dear mate here, and this is an insightful prayer of gratitude for many things, many acts and actions had to take place for you to arrive at this very moment, and the angels indeed are kept very busy to orchestrate many, many things in this world and at times to allow the results to take place that are required may take circuitous routes and more time than anticipated and different players. For in this world there is no sure path, for the power of free will buffets the enactment of God's will, turns and twists this flow of the power of God's will and the power of God's Love is greater than all the power of man's will. But the laws of cause and effect, of free will, of creation, must be obeyed. And so outcomes are not altogether predictable nor can they manifest in a predictable order. But in time it does manifest, for God does see all and anticipates all and in this way He inspires His angels and the spirits and the many who wish to serve Him and to act in this world and the world of spirit to bring about the desired results. So, my children, there is fate and yet there is no fate. There is an end result which may take many, many years and generations and lifetimes to bring about. But the will of God is enacted in time, and to have willing souls like yourselves, my beloveds, who are willing to obey the will of God, this is a treasure in this world, beloveds. To have the direct and clear enactment of God's will through you is truly a gift to the world. It is not obscured by a lack of understanding of the truth, it is not obscured by a soul that is not ignited by God's Love and together the enlivened soul and the willing spirit may bring about miracles, manifestations of God's will in this world. So you see, when you see the injustices and the extreme perversions of life, and the innocence of those who are the victims of the great power of mankind's free will, and the sin and error mounted one upon the other for generations and generations and this dark condition which attempts to pull all the souls into it to have those who seek to be unencumbered by these conditions, who wish to manifest God's will and are strong enough because they possess the greatest gift possible - that of God's Love. Then we can work in wondrous ways to eradicate this darkness, to bring about harmony and love and pull the innocent souls away from the dark oppressive conditions and influence through you those who are in pain, lost and suffering and through you the truth can be told, and the invitation can be given. Seek ye the Heavenly Father, open yourselves up to His Love, and as these lost and needy souls open themselves in this way, you are there to love and embrace them, to reassure them that they will overcome those conditions which keep them in pain. So, my beloveds, we do indeed begin a new chapter, a new door opens with many possibilities and events to unfold, and all that is required of you, my beloveds, is to step through that door one step at a time, to walk in faith and know that God does have a plan which will bring an end to this great suffering world and bring forth peace and harmony, a redemption of mankind. And you, my beloveds, within your souls know that you have a part to play, a role, a journey, and an unfolding, manifestation of your true soul's gifts. Ah, my beloveds, how we rejoice to know that you have chosen light, that you wish to do God's will, that you are willing to be a channel of His Love and Light that will change the world and push back the darkness. Every day brings its challenges and its opportunities and every day that you overcome that which would hold you back into the human condition, we rejoice when you turn to light, when you aspire to the highest, when you beseech your Heavenly Father to receive His Love. We rejoice and we walk with you as you walk down this lighted path of great possibilities, of wondrous events as God's will unfolds within your lives. My beloveds, bless you. Know that you are truly loved and within God's care. Be at peace and know what you do here is one more step in the manifestation of God's will and rejoice in this, my beloveds. Rejoice in this. For he who serves God is mightily blessed. In the giving comes a receiving. In this learning and growing comes strengthening. In the Love comes the sure knowledge of Truth and the joyous reunion with your Heavenly Father. Carry on, my beloveds, carry on. A great road lies ahead and much to do and many blessings to be had by you and by so many others. God bless you, your teacher Augustine loves you and is with you often in your efforts. Bless you. --- > [!abstract] Description > Augustine delivers a philosophically rich teaching on the relationship between fate, free will, and God's Will, explaining that while God has a plan and an intended outcome for the world, the power of human free will means the path to that outcome is never straight or predictable. He teaches that God and His angels work ceaselessly to orchestrate events through circuitous routes, and that willing souls ignited by Divine Love are a treasure in this world, capable of manifesting God's Will in ways that cut through the accumulated darkness of generations. ## Related messages - [[2015-03-23 They Will Fill This Building|They Will Fill This Building]] - [[2018-05-09 Walk in Harmony With God's Will|Walk in Harmony With God's Will]] - [[2016-05-02 Two Paths Towards Love and Purification|Two Paths Towards Love and Purification]] ## Chains - [[Chains/Free Will And Gods Plan]] - Foundation - [[Chains/Free Will And Gods Plan]] - Foundation - [[Chains/Free Will And Gods Plan]] - Foundation > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - Is my life fated or do I have free will? > - Does God have a plan for my life? > - If God is all-powerful why does evil and suffering still exist? > - How does God work through human free will without overriding it? > - Why does God's plan sometimes take so long to unfold? > - What does the Bible mean when it says God works all things together for good? > - Can one willing soul really make a difference against the accumulated darkness of generations? > - What does it mean to be a channel of God's Will rather than just my own will? > - How do angels orchestrate events in the world? > - Is there such a thing as destiny in a spiritual sense?
