A Gift, A Warning and A Solution Cover

Messenger: The world goes on and many ignore the Savior. Many do not even realize they need to be saved. Many do not even know they have allowed the evil one to become master of their lives and have ignored Jesus. If a blind man is blind, he does not see. Would the Master rubbing spittle and mud in their blind eyes wake them? The desire to see must come from within the heart. The heart must be willing and open and wanting to know Him. But what did He do to Paul on the way to Damascus? He knocked him to the ground. The desire was not in the heart, but God gave him a great grace. The devil comes like a thief in the night and steals our hearts. He comes unannounced at any time and lures us with his wares before our hearts and the hearts of our children. He wants those souls to be dead in sin. Men, we are at battle, but the blind do not see. Would that a big earthquake would knock some men from their horses and their evil ways, but how many would make any connection? On January 19, 1999, I received a writing and a map about the devastation on the earth and how God tries to get men's attention through the elements. The map looked like this and the writing spoke about a writing October 8, 1997, Seedless, Barren no fruit on the vine. The fruit was wiped out in Honduras. This past week an earthquake shook Colombia. Refer to the writing of January 19, 1999, daily message, and the date of the earthquake some days later. I do not read the newspaper or listen to the news. Someone told me of the catastrophe.

No Fruit on the Vine

We had left a restaurant Friday night and turned a bend in the road and an accident had just occurred. It was a serious accident, involving several vehicles and one big van was entirely upside down, wheels in the air. We had made a wrong turn and missed the time of the accident because we were detained a few moments while we got back to the right place.

How can it happen? You drive down the road and then a car on the other side is out of control and runs right into you and you have a totaled car and perhaps a totaled body, or one of your children not wearing a seat belt is killed in the back seat. And in that moment, your life is changed. You live with that loss of a loved one. "Oh if I only had been at that place a few moments later", you may say and for the rest of your life you live quite differently.

Or what about the accident that mars the young one in the prime of life with a body that is now wretched with paralysis from the impact and destruction that may occur. Consider a child of 20, 22, your child. He is head of the drama team, he has a 4.0, he has the lead in the school plays, he is captain of the football team, he is the greatest "runner" in the world and that moment comes for him some day when he is knocked off his horse by an almost fatal accident. But he isn't dead, just severely crippled. And left to rot?

Jesus speaks: No My beloved ones, this may be the beginning of his life. For I have allowed many to receive a bump on the head to get their attention. Some listen, some do not.

And I sent plagues to the Pharaoh and Moses warned and warned and cried out "Let my people go" and he would not listen. Pharaoh continued his obstinate ways until I took their oldest sons. Again, Pharaoh become obstinate and would not relent and I divided the Red Sea and they were wiped out because of Pharaoh's obstinate ways.

I have sent signs and warnings and messages and you do not hear Me. You continue your ways. Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas is appearing, looking as Our Lady of Guadalupe and you pay no heed, America. You do not proudly display the image and tell the world of the gifts sent from heaven. When your Mother appeared at Fatima, she warned you, her children, and told you what you must do.

Over 80 years later she appears on the building in Florida with the same message. The devastating effects of World War II, which she predicted if you did not listen, have changed your lives and man has become more wrapped in the snares of the devil.

Oh the wind howls and the floods come and the hurricanes wipe out your fruit, an earthquake rips your ground and you cry, "a happening, a happening," and many of those involved in the devastation do not turn to Me.

The television has become a beast to many, hurting the minds of the young and leading them to sin and what is a mother and father to do?

Your world has become very evil in its ways and very far from the plan of the Father.

You have not demonstrated that you have learned your lesson as the human race about the willfulness of men and how greatly it displeases God.

I gave you a garden to bear fruit, fruit for the Kingdom, and in the center of the Americas when your fruit was ravaged you did not understand, and the fires in Florida did not get your attention.

My Mother appears in Florida and there is not coverage locally or nationally to draw people to this site, but the vilest deeds are recorded on the front of almost every paper.

Men have displeased Me with their willfulness, lack of love, and lack of concern for one another, especially the poor.

You have made money your god and likewise sex and drugs, and power and sports and food and so many things that bring you temporary relief and pleasure.

On Sundays your days are filled with thoughts of selfish pleasures, not thoughts of God, and the rest of the week few stop to pray.

My Heart must reign as the center of all hearts and the children of Eve must realize they will find shelter in the Heart of the Immaculate Virgin and Mother, Mary.

I cry to you to listen to Me. The Lady on the building in Florida is your sign, but you seek another and another and another.

I can knock you from your horse. What will get your attention? My children, I cry to you.

Messenger: I saw Him bent over the altar at the Mass. He was clothed in white. I saw His brown hair. He was filled with love, the same love He had when He gave Himself on the cross. It is love He wants of us. It is love He comes to give.

I heard Him speak the words of the Eucharistic Prayer and I cried. He intercedes for us in the Mass, He is the Chief Priest and Victim and we do not connect in our hearts to Him as we need to.

Jesus speaks: Oh My earth, the Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. You must come in the Heart of the Woman, Mary Immaculate, and offer sacrifice in union with Me for your sins. She appears to lead men to My Eucharistic Heart. She is the Lady Clothed with the Sun and the glistening of the image in Florida is radiant, for she reflects the beauty of the Son of God.

My children, listen to Me. Plead at the Mass for the souls of the earth. Unite to Me in such oneness through the consecration.

Grace will be outpoured on the earth from the highest mountains. They will shine with radiant joy. The hills will clap with joy and send out a sign of splendor to the earth and streams of water will flow to the thirsty earth below.



Vision of Lucia, main visionary of Fatima, 1929


Jesus speaks: I cry to you for help to maintain the building in Florida, for help to spread this material to the world, for help to spread the priestly newsletter to the priests and the booklets to begin prayer chapters.

Messenger: We do not have funds to do as He has requested us to do.

We cannot send the school mailing, the nursing home mailing and the priestly newsletter because of lack of funds.

It becomes more difficult every month to hold onto the building in Florida.

Jesus wants the world to respond and help us spread the material to the priests and the world.

Jesus wants us to buy the building in Florida and to have prayer services there.

Jesus wants the world to respond to this message.

On January 5, 1999, the Father spoke and said that our prayers are holding back the hand of His Son. We pray constantly.

We need more and more prayer chapters in churches, schools and families.

We operate on donations only at this time.

The one thing that ultimately matters is how He acts. He has all the power. He can give the grace to set all the captives free, but if the people do not ask, if they do not respond, if they foolishly squander the gifts He has given for His purpose to promote His Kingdom, He will act or not act as He chooses.

Jesus has already merited the grace so that all souls can be saved. If we are foolish enough to think we can control everything and not keep our God first in our lives, then we will pay the price.

As a body praying together these prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world, we please Him. We offer a most pleasing sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, dwelling in the pure Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

There is but One in control. That One is God. A person only needs to see the ravishing lightning and hear the clapping, bellowing thunder or see an angry hurricane when it wipes out a hearty land filled with plentiful fruit to know He controls everything. It is fruit He wishes for the Kingdom. It is holy love He desires in the hearts, it is peace and union He wants amongst His people. He will knock us down to our knees, for the more He has spoken the more it seems we have been blocked. A great gift is given from Our God. It is the secrets into His Sacred Heart. Secrets to lead men into love and harmony as a holy family as the Father intends. It is a family living under His domain, loving and serving their God and making Jesus the King and Center of their hearts. It is love amongst us all living according to the Father's will, according to His plan. It is man willingly obeying God and loving Him. At Fatima, Mary promised a period of peace.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. He came to save the sinful race. Let us offer a holy sacrifice to Our God, loving and praising Him, in one mind and one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He is King.

1 Corinthians 15:25-26


1 Corinthians 15:25-26

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.
