In my Father’s House Are Many MansionsChapter 3Leonardo Rodriguez

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.  My

Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I

am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I

am.”

evolve as Spirits. Many Stages within each world of evolution

for the Spirit to conquer. Each World is less Materialized and more

Spiritualized. As you progress you may see:

More agreeable Homes Nothing Stays Stationary Animals, Vegetables, Habitations also progress

The world is in a materially and morally inferior position.

It is time to transform to a new level Everything dies only to be reborn again God gives the same rights and

opportunities to reach each new world. Be Happy the Law of God will Reign.
