    Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger:        The last business day of the second

                                millennium we received the loan

                                on the building after leasing it

                                for two and 1/2 years.

 
God the Father speaks:

                            I ask you to help the Shepherds of 

                          Christ to acquire the building 

                           (in Florida) free and clear.

Jesus speaks:         The light shines in the darkness

                            and you do not comprehend it.

January 5, 1999

God the Father Speaks: It is because of your fervor to pray here that  you have held back the hand of My Son from punishing the earth with just punishment for the crimes committed against your God.

  

Excerpts from January 11, 1997

God the Father: My plan will unfold despite the willfulness of any of My children. I am the Father...

I have delivered this message that you will know My plan is unfolding. Many will be lost because of their willfulness. I demand obedience to My requests. The plan will unfold...

I am displeased with those who have blocked these messages. Anyone continuing to block My messages given through the Hearts of Jesus and Mary will receive a shock that will envelope them...

Let Us Pray

   Almighty and Eternal God, Thou hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son the Redeemer of the world, and willed to be appeased by His Blood. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we may worthily adore this Price of our salvation, and through its power be safeguarded from the evils of this present life, so that we may rejoice in its fruits forever in Heaven. Through the same Christ Our Lord. R.  Amen. 

    Genesis 1: 11-12

    God said, ‘Let the earth produce vegetation: seed–bearing plants, and fruit trees on earth, bearing fruit with their seed inside, each corresponding to its own species.’ And so it was. The earth produced vegetation: the various kinds of seed–bearing plants and the fruit trees with seed inside, each corresponding to its own species. God saw that it was good.

Mark 4: 26-29

He also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the land. Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know. Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the crop is ready, at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.’

  

Deutromeny 8: 7-18

‘But Yahweh your God is bringing you into a fine country, a land of streams and springs, of waters that well up from the deep in valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines, of figs, of pomegranates, a land of olives, of oil, of honey, a land where you will eat bread without stint, where you will want nothing, a land where the stones are iron and where the hills may be quarried for copper. You will eat and have all you want and you will bless Yahweh your God in the fine country which he has given you. 

    ‘Be careful not to forget Yahweh your God, by neglecting his commandments, customs and laws which I am laying down for you today. When you have eaten all you want, when you have built fine houses to live in, when you have seen your flocks and herds increase, your silver and gold abound and all your possessions grow great, do not become proud of heart. Do not then forget Yahweh your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the place of slave–labour, who guided you through this vast and dreadful desert, a land of fiery snakes, scorpions, thirst; who in this waterless place brought you water out of the flinty rock; who in this desert fed you with manna unknown to your ancestors, to humble you and test you and so make your future the happier. 

    ‘Beware of thinking to yourself, "My own strength and the might of my own hand have given me the power to act like this." Remember Yahweh your God; he was the one who gave you the strength to act effectively like this, thus keeping then, as today, the covenant which he swore to your ancestors.

  

Joel 2: 21-24, 26-27

Land, do not be afraid; 
be glad, rejoice, 
for Yahweh has done great things. 
Wild animals, do not be afraid; 
the desert pastures are green again, 
the trees bear fruit, 
vine and fig tree yield their richness. 

Sons of Zion, be glad, 
rejoice in Yahweh your God; 
for he has given you 
autumn rain as justice demands, 
and he will send the rains down for you, 
the autumn and spring rain as of old. 
The threshing–floors will be full of grain, 
the vats overflow with wine and oil.

‘You will eat to your heart’s content, 
and praise the name of Yahweh your God 
who has treated you so wonderfully. 
(My people will never 
    be humiliated again!) 

‘And you will know that I am among you 
    in Israel, 
I, Yahweh your God, and no one else. 
My people will never 
    be humiliated again!’
  

Messenger:        Sing: Come with Me into the Field

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.
