          “Who understands the wounds of a God?  Who can fathom the love of a God humiliating Himself, condescending to a life on earth, in order to save man from his death sentence?  Man, in his pride, has forgotten the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  This supreme act of love is not venerated or even remembered.  It is a historic fact, the foundation of Christianity, but so little valued or remembered.

          The love of Jesus is so great for mankind that He subjected Himself to unbearable tortures.  A greater gift He could not have given to man, yet man despises this gift by wearing necklaces of the crucifixion while living in decadent sinfulness.  Man places a crucifix on the wall while standing next to it speaking blasphemy and cursing.  Even in the churches, the crucifix is a wall ornament, something commonplace and forgotten.  How little I am venerated, understood and thanked for My great sacrifice of love!  How this hurts My heart!

          The souls that love Me remember My pain.  They walk the way of the Cross with Me, bearing My burden for the world’s salvation.  They strive for purity so as to be able to abide in My presence.  They spend valuable time in My presence, loving, thanking, and adoring Me.  They understand My great sacrifice of love and seek to honor My memory by imitating My life on earth.

          When I come back to earth, will I find any faithful souls?  So many of My chosen ones have veered from the path of holiness, distracted by the world.  The light of Christ is dimming on earth.  Where are the blazing flames of love igniting the earth’s atmosphere with My presence?  What are My saints in life doing to change earth’s atmosphere from darkness to light?

          I call you to account, My lukewarm children.  Repent and turn again to My holy standard of living.  You that have been given much, much will be required of you.”

Just Judge

          “There is true heavenly joy when you stop to rest in God’s love.  So few souls know how to enter My rest.  You must come away from the world.  You must quietly sit before Me to seek My quiet presence.  The world has souls in its grip.  They cannot flee from the power of the earth around them, yet their spirits were created for another realm, the quiet, invisible realm of spirit where God resides in silent peace and rest.

          Many souls flee from the world by entering convents.  They see no other way to run from the distractions surrounding and choking them in the world and its environments.  They have chosen the spirit over the flesh.  They have realized that there must be a real breaking from the bondage of the flesh and its desires.  They seek “the best part”, to live alone with God alone, adoring Him in spirit and in truth.

          It takes great courage to make this break from the world, but it is an entrance into the peaceful pastures of peace, love, and joy, a bliss unknowable by earth’s inhabitants.  Only the courageous enter these realms of God’s abode, the spiritual realms beyond earthly thought.

          You must lose your life on this earth to find your eternal life.  It seems to be a vague, obscure door beyond which you cannot see what awaits you, but if you dare to cross this threshold, you will find God lovingly awaiting you.  He stands beyond the door, waiting to see who will be brave enough to despise the earth and all fleshly delights in order to buy the pearl of great price, oneness with his Creator.

          So few souls enter this heavenly life.”

          “Do you think there are many souls loving Me in these early morning hours?  Very few start their day in My presence.  How much they miss out on!  They hurry to and fro, rushing to get things done which have no eternal value whatsoever.  All will turn to dust, even their own bodies.  Yet they continue to run ahead, pursuing false realities and dreams of happiness.

          I alone am the source of true happiness, that deep peace and joy in the heart.  Earthly joys are fleeting, passing away like the morning dew.  I am the eternal fountain of living waters, just waiting for the sons of men to discover My life-giving and refreshing water.  They will never thirst again for the temporal gains of earth once they have tasted My eternal joys.

          Gifts, graces, and blessings rain down upon those who seek Me first in the morning.  I transform, renew, and refresh them as they turn their faces to Me as a flower turns to the sun for growth and sustenance.

          Come away with Me, My beloved ones, those who love Me more than the world.  I will teach you many things.  I will show you how short this life is, and I will teach you eternal priorities.

          Leave all to possess all.  Give Me everything in your life and I will return it to you blessed a hundredfold.  I only seek your highest good.”

          “Graces and blessings fall like raindrops upon the heads of the children that seek Me daily.  These little souls quiet themselves to listen to My voice in the silence, away from the noise and distractions of life.

          The world is attractive to the eyes and the ears.  The pride of life is alluring and beautiful to the senses.  My wise children turn away from what is presented to their senses to seek the God of silence and obscurity in the land of faith.  The door to heaven is called faith.  Faith can hardly be defined, for it is a gift from God.  All God’s gifts are beyond definition in their grandeur.

          Like the eye that can take in all things at once, faith encompasses every virtue.  Faith is the arrow pointing to heaven as the goal.  Faith is to believe in what you cannot see.  Faith sees beyond earth’s limitations.  It peers into God’s infinity.

          Faith is your gesture of love and trust, your belief in all I have told you.  Faith believes to the point of death, blindly following Christ into the shadowlands.

          Faith grows in proportion to your time in My presence, for to know Me is to love Me.  To love Me is to trust Me and to have faith in Me.

          The more time you spend with Me, the more certain your faith, the more pure your countenance, the more peaceful your spirit and the more obedient you become.  You obey because you love.  Love makes obedience a beautiful gift in response to so many gifts, the first being the honorable gift of life.

          Faith tells you that I love you, that I gave My life for your love, that I am waiting for you in heaven.  Faith is the gold coin that opens the door to My Heart.”

Faith Builder

          “My Heart is alive and beating in this world that has forgotten Me.  The pulsating rhythms of the earth are the beating of My Heart, crying over man in his weakness.  He has forsaken mercy and has chosen a tortuous path of self-indulgence and egocentricity over Love’s calls and pleadings.  My Heart has truly been broken by mankind’s rejection.  Who understands this Heart of Mine, so tender and pure, so gentle and forgiving?  I am the Forgotten One, the forgotten Creator of all that exists.  I created man for a loving relationship, but he has run away from Me and he has rejected My overtures.

          Yet I cry out, I continuously plead with him, begging him to return to My loving Heart.  He has run into the forest of jackals and demons, allured by the glittering sights and sounds of worldly enticements.  He is led further and further into the dense forest.  He cannot find his way out of the dense darkness.

          My light bearers travel deep into the forest holding candles of hope high, leading the way out of the darkness, but they are shunned and ridiculed, made fun of and mocked.  Their gentle hearts unite with My sorrow for mankind.

          My saints crisscross each other through the darkness, holding their lamps high as they greet each other in Love’s relief.  They are the soldiers of light piercing the dark forests of sin, rescuing the perishing.

          The forest is ready to be folded up, nearing the completion of the ages.  Those that have chosen the dark abyss will remain within its confines.  “Those that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever.”

          The light of heaven is dawning, My people.  Be faithful to the course I have placed before you.  Keep your focus on the eternal, the home I have prepared for you, as I await you in glory.

          Time is short.  “Redeem the time, for the days are evil …”

God’s Warning to Wandering Souls

November 20, 2015

          “Spiritual strides quicken in response to love.  The more you love, the quicker will you grow in holiness.  Works are priceless, theology is a basic need, spiritual aspirations and desires are fruitful, yet without love, the fire has no wood to kindle.  Give me a soul with love in the heart and I will show you a true saint.  Maybe this soul cannot read or write.  Maybe this soul has no doctrinal aptitude.  Maybe this soul is unlearned and unchurched.  If there is love, there is God.  All souls have not been given the graces of doctrinal teaching.  Maybe they have never picked up a spiritual book.  How can they attain to sanctity?  By love alone.  God is love and he that abides in love abides in God.

          “By their fruits you shall know them.”  “The fruit of the Spirit is love” foremost.  A man may be learned in every area of spiritual formation, but if God’s loving fruitfulness is lacking in his life, all that learning is straw to be burned.

          I see that African woman living in a mud hut.  She has never picked up a book or listened to spiritual teaching, yet her heart is on fire with love for her Creator.  She is a saint.

          Many learned men have a head full of knowledge, yet they have not truly met the Giver of this knowledge, the God of burning love.  They have good intentions, but they have mistaken the firewood for the fire.

          The souls that are in love with Me radiate My atmosphere of loving peace.  They do not judge; they love.  They let Me do the judging.  Their eyes are so blinded by love that it is nearly impossible for them to judge another.  They love people into doing right.  Souls respond to this unconditional love.  They follow this atmosphere of love straight into My Father’s arms.  Every soul craves love and when they find it, they run eagerly to embrace it.

          Permeate your atmosphere with My love.  My radiance through you will draw souls to My Father’s Heart of love.

Jesus, Greatest Lover

          “Are you ready to let go of all that you think that you are to let Me come into your life in My way?  So many souls seek Me according to their plans.  They have preconceived ideas about how I will intervene in all that happens to them.  They play out their own little drama and attribute it to My workings.  Man is afraid to let go, to relax into My arms in trustful rest.

          I wait for souls to get to the place of abandonment before I can freely work on them unhindered.  How could a potter shape a vessel unless it was without motion?  Even so, My children come to Me for help but when I respond, they jump out of My hands to try to figure things out in their own way.  I am not left free to help them … and so I wait for the opportune moment of complete and total abandonment to My will.

          Abandon yourselves completely to Me, My children, and allow Me to hep you.  Let go of all your preconceived ideas and agendas.  Allow Me to show you a new way to expand your limited horizons.

          You cannot do it on your own, children.  You need My help and I am so willing to help you.

          Become the dependent child I desire you to be.  Let Me help you.  Calm down; stop your running; sit quietly, listening for My words of instruction.  I know the answer to every question and every problem you have.  Let Me help you through life.  I am so willing!”

Love, Jesus,

Your Helper in Life
