Messenger: In the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all will be winners. As it is now, there is often pompous control from those above that see truth as they have been taught from generations past.
It goes back to the ham. The woman cut off the ends of the ham because her grandmother, or someone in past generations, did it this way so that the ham fit into the pan.
So how do we get to this point as St. Paul says:
Galatians 2:19-21
In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not setting aside God's grace as of no value; it is merely that if saving justice comes through the Law, Christ died needlessly.
Messenger: We are rigid men. It is indeed the living word of God, it is a gospel we preach, one of repentance and openness, one of vibrancy filled with life, conviction, energy.
Authority has at times been used to keep the gospel under a bushel basket, when it is a light that must shine.
We are composed, closed up, contained, disunited, we are pompous and prideful and the way we live is by the teaching of those in the past.
Our religious orders have become men and women living separated lives. Many do not let down their walls and really grow in their relationships with one another.
They wear the perfect mask, for it is far better, in their minds, to be dead and perfect, than alive and real, living the truth.
We are all sinners. It is in the interaction intimately with others that the true self emerges, both good or bad. We are free to let ourselves live and when we see the imperfections emerging from us in even exchange with others, we know we need to change, for that which we thought to be a way of relating and loving is most unacceptable in intimate relationships.
But the world has taught us to be contained, proper, posing as a perfect being, never showing others the true self that lives within. We squelch our spirit to save our perfect face.
And so you say, what if everyone did exactly as they pleased, what chaos and misdirection! And I say this:
There is one Body, there is one will, there is one law to be written on men's hearts. It is love, it is freedom, it is living according to God's will.
If all realized their imperfections and dealt with them, how truly holy we could all be and we would interact in great holiness and harmony.
But we hide our wounds, we put on a perfect face, we are contained, locked in a box with all our imperfections. We are afraid to come out because the unwritten law of the land states this:
You wear a pretty face, you hide your feelings, you squelch the spirit within, you are contained, proper, hard in heart, and every blade of grass in your yard must be perfect with no crab grass, because otherwise the neighbors will judge you lazy. You must worry about the image you are creating before men. It must be perfect and you must look good here below to all, all the time, despite what goes on inside.
So we learn to wear our masks, paint our faces and look good to all others on the outside. Some of the sickest, alcoholic families look the best, for they have had years of practice of covering up the truth about their dysfunction and painting the prettiest picture on the outside for their fellows.
I refer to the message of Jesus, June 26, 1995, given on our first apostles' journey to Florida. On the last Tuesday of August, 1994, there took place our first Shepherds of Christ meeting. While at mass at the Cathedral, I saw a vision of St. Margaret Mary reading from a white book. This happened right before the meeting. When I drove into the driveway of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, I heard Our Lord speak, "These are My apostles of My Sacred Heart.", or something to that effect.
And so on June 26, 1995, we made our first mission to Naples, Florida, and then we met an important person who has majorly contributed to our success in Florida. Already in June, 1995, Our Lord was laying the ground work for the vision of Our Lady and for making connections. I would not understand until much later when I received messages from Our Lord almost 1 1/2 years later at the time Mary appeared on the building.
I quote this message from the Apostles Manual, P.421-425. This book is white. It has never been revealed to me that St. Margaret Mary held the Apostles Manual. The book was white--this is all I know.
June 26, 1995
The Pain - Naples, Florida
Messenger: He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.
His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.
All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.
All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.
The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.
A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.
Jesus speaks: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.
What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?
My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.
To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.
The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.
An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.
Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.
My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.
The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.
The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.
You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.
Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.
This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.
A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.
You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.
All functions in the body were stopped.
The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.
Messenger: All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.
Jesus speaks: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.
Messenger: Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.
Jesus speaks: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass.
An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.
You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.
Messenger: Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.
Jesus speaks: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.
And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a message of love to one another.
The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head.
They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.
My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.
Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.
Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.
You have ignored the importance of these letters.
I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.
My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.
The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.
I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.
You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the Church and this world.
My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.
The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.
I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.
Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.
(End of June 26, 1995 Message from Apostles Manual)
Messenger: I hope that you have endured to this point because Our Lord is not finished with this revelation and the message of June 26, 1995, is most important.
We cover up our wounds and really show a very untrue picture to our fellows, not that we are to cry and ask for pity. We are to live the truth, to grow in the ways of truth and to share in intimate exchange with others.
Layers and layers of crud has been mounted upon our hearts. We have put up walls to hide that sick debris that lurks within . We can present a pretty picture on the outside and inside the imperfections lurk like little treasures we hide so no one will know the truth.
"First to thine own self be true." How many lessons have we been taught like "cutting off the ham" that hide really deep imperfections in our family. Why don't we see this, why do we not admit our tainted and hidden ways of acting so we can look at ourselves naked against a dark sky and see the sin that lurks within, hidden ways of acting because we don't want to admit how truly wretched are our hearts?
Well, it happens. When we are squeezed, anger and hidden thoughts come out and we don't look so pure then.
When you are squeezed, when you are under pressure, do we operate like Jesus on the way to Calvary in perfect peace?
When He was squeezed in the garden, blood came out, not hidden anger and deep rooted imperfections as is the case with us, imperfections connected with family history. They taught us ways of acting that were anything but loving rather than ways that bring us into greater oneness and harmony with our brothers and sisters of the earth.
We have been taught by our ancestors how to pray, how to go to Mass. Generations upon generations have taught us how to be in relationship with God and others.
I ask you to read in John, chapter 9, about the blind man. This chapter is before the chapter of the Good Shepherd.
In the Litany of the Sacred Heart it talks about "Heart of Jesus, house of God and gate of heaven,".
In the Litany of the Blessed Mother she is referred to as the "Gate of heaven".
The gospel of John 10:1-3 begins:
John 10: 1-3
'In all truth I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a bandit. He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out.
Messenger: We enter the Heart of Christ through the Immaculate Heart of the Mother. His Heart is the house of God and gate of heaven.
These litanies are among the prayers the Good Shepherd has asked us to pray at 6:30 p.m., prayers found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual. There are keys and insights into revelations in these litanies to help us know what we need to know to help to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart.
The way to hear His voice is to dwell in His Heart. We must do what Our Lady told us at Fatima and consecrate our hearts or we won't get in that gate.
Before this chapter which tells us about the Good Shepherd is the chapter which tells about the blind man. It says he was blind from birth. We are blind. Generations of blind people have taught us about Jesus. They have passed down their ways of praying, relating in love, having a relationship with God and others. If they were blind, they taught us from their blindness. In many schools today they teach our children great untruths about God and the Church from their own blindness.
I cry out, let the scales drop from our eyes, take the mud out of our eyes, Lord, let the people see that the Holy Spirit works in the womb of Our Mother, her Immaculate Heart, giving us lights.
God reveals Himself to us. We can make all these mechanical things happen in our world and make discoveries that may seem to us just short of miracles, but only God acting in the soul will reveal insight into the mysteries about Himself. We can look and look and look and study, but God reveals Himself to man. God acting in the soul to enable us to know Him most intimately comes when He grants the grace.
The more man thinks he is the master of everything, the more he is misinformed.
Quote John 9:6, 9:11, and 9:15.
John 9:6
Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blind man,...
John 9:11
He answered, 'The man called Jesus made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, "Go off and wash at Siloam"; so I went, and when I washed I gained my sight.'
John 9:15
...so when the Pharisees asked him how he had gained his sight, he said, 'He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see.'
Messenger: And then the Pharisees questioned the sign given, John 9:16.
John 9:16
Then some of the Pharisees said, 'That man cannot be from God: he does not keep the Sabbath.' Others said, 'How can a sinner produce signs like this?' And there was division among them.
Messenger: They questioned the parents, they replied: John 9:20, 9:25, 9:27, 9:30, and 9:34.
John 9:20
His parents answered, 'We know he is our son and we know he was born blind,...
John 9:25
The man answered, 'Whether he is a sinner I don't know; all I know is that I was blind and now I can see.'
John 9:27
He replied, 'I have told you once and you wouldn't listen. Why do you want to hear it all again? Do you want to become his disciples yourselves?'
John 9:30
The man replied, 'That is just what is so amazing! You don't know where he comes from and he has opened my eyes!
John 9:34
They retorted, 'Are you trying to teach us, and you a sinner through and through ever since you were born!' And they ejected him.
Messenger: Jesus speaks in John 9:39 and 9:41.
John 9:39
Jesus said:
It is for judgement
that I have come into this world,
so that those without sight may see
and those with sight may become blind.
John 9:41
Jesus replied:
If you were blind,
you would not be guilty,
but since you say, 'We can see,'
your guilt remains.
Messenger: Do we hide our sins or do we speak the truth? Do we know we are all sinners? Do we hear the words He speaks in Revelation?
Revelation 1:17-20, 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29,3:6, 3:13, and 3:22.
Revelation 1:17-20
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead, but he laid his right hand on me and said, 'Do not be afraid; it is I, the First and the Last; I am the Living One, I was dead and look--I am alive for ever and ever and I hold the keys of death and of Hades. Now write this down all that you see of present happenings and what is still to come. The secret of the seven stars you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lamp-stands are the seven churches themselves.'
Revelation 2:7
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: those who prove victorious I will feed from the tree of life set in God's paradise."
Revelation 2:11
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: for those who prove victorious will come to no harm from the second death."
Revelation 2:17
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: to those who prove victorious I will give some hidden manna and a white stone, with a new name written on it, known only to the person who receives it."
Revelation 2:29
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Revelation 3:6
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Revelation 3:13
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Revelation 3:22
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Messenger: Revelation 3:1
Revelation 3:1
'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead.
Messenger: Deuteronomy 10:16.
Deuteronomy 10:16
Circumcise your heart then and be obstinate no longer;...
Messenger: Be no longer stiff-necked.
We have been taught from ages past how to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are partially blind in our ways, for our teachers were blind in their ways.
Let us hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. Let us pray that our eyes are opened so that we will see. I think it is very significant that the Good Shepherd chapter of John follows the chapter telling about the blind man.
He will shepherd His flock through His beloved priests.
Mary is the Mother of the Church. She has authority over her priest-sons.
The Incarnation goes on in her spiritual womb, her Immaculate Heart. We are formed more and more in His image and likeness.
The Prayer for Union with Jesus is most important—
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Messenger: We were created to be possessed by God.
Mary is the Gate of heaven as it says in the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In His Heart are found the treasures we seek.
The authority is from God. If we continue teaching our children from the blind parents, if we are not open to the voice of God as He reveals intimate love in these writings, we have blocked His voice. We continue with the authority, but block the words of the Virgin and the signs given from God.
Mary is Mother of the Church and Our Mother.
We, with tainted hearts, need the two holy and pure Hearts in order to offer a most holy sacrifice.
Jesus is Chief-Priest and Victim. The source of infinite mercy and love flows from His Heart, but we are being blocked from delivering the message of Fatima.
Eucharistic miracles are suppressed and held back from the people.
Mary appears looking like Our Lady of Guadalupe on the building in Florida.
If people believe in Our Lady of Guadalupe, cannot they see Mary's image in Clearwater to be in resemblance to Our Lady of Guadalupe's image?
Jesus speaks: Oh My people, I cry out to you for you are stiff-necked and pompous in your ways. I come and speak of My tender love for you and you continue to coat your bodies with perfumes and plastic gels. You are in little boxes, separated and not united at all.
You do not teach My children the Commandments or even tell them in the Catholic schools about the great gift of the Eucharist. You do not teach children the mysteries of the rosary.
You have indeed plugged up My mouth when I speak and you teach more and more as you feel it should be.
It is all there in Scripture, but because of your pompous minds, you will not listen. You do not go to My Heart to gain the deep insight into the mysteries. Many think they will find the answers in studying My Word like any textbook.
Oh I am weary, weary trying to reach you, My Church, for you are set in your ways. Many of My priests will not even be open to listen to Me cry from My Eucharistic Heart. When I give signs, they seek to destroy them.
I am the authority. My Mother is the Mother of the Church.
I Corinthians 15:22-27.
1 Corinthians 15:22-27
Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him.
Jesus speaks: My men, you are sinners.
Come out of your tombs, live in the truth, ask for forgiveness. My priests, tell My people of sin and of heaven. Open your hearts. Be no longer stiff-necked. Circumcise your hearts. Remove the layers of walls around your hearts that hold you locked in this frigid pattern of co-existence in this world. You are to be ONE-UNITED, no longer stiff-necked. Be free.
Freedom is found in living according to the Father's will.
You are children of the Father and Mother, you are in the holy family, brothers and sisters.
You are to live in oneness and in love.
Lay on the ground and beg, beg for forgiveness from your heavenly Father for your sins.
God cleansed the earth at the time of Noah.
Today I cry to you. Answer My call.
I want a refurbishing in the hearts of men in the Church. I want to write My law on their hearts.
You worry concerning your earthly image and forget to think about the image you are presenting to your God.
Oh My people, I do indeed cry out to you, but few hear the cry of the Good Shepherd. I want your hearts to be alive and filled with the FIRE of God's love.
Revelation 3:1
...I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead.
Revelation 3:6
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Q: How do I feel suffering in our relationship has led us to greater life?
