"What star is this which beams so bright"

From the song:  What Star is This

Jesus speaks:     I have given to you a garden and
                                a bridge to build.

                            If the priests and religious lived the
                                spousal union with Me, the Divine
                                God, they would not want for other
                                attractions, fame, etc. in their lives.

                            The answer to the problems in the Church
                                is having a burning intimate union
                                with Me your Divine Spouse.

                            I speak of purity for men must work with
                                women and women with men in the Church.
                                Every person has a free will.

                                A man was married and he loved his
                            wife. He would not be unfaithful to
                            her - he loved her, he lived his marriage
                            vows - he wanted her happiness.

                                If the priests and religious read the
                            Blue Book letters of love I give they will
                            realize more fully their relationship with
                            Me their Divine Spouse.

  

A City on a Hill Shines to the World (excerpt)

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus:  I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

   

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     Who would want to "flirt" and look for
                            satisfaction else where if they realized
                            their bridal union with Me.

                                So much work is unaccomplished because
                            of stiff relationships.

                                You are given a free will — if you love
                            Me deeply as your Divine Spouse, spending
                            an hour before the Blessed Sacrament daily
                            to be with Me because of love of Me and
                            knowing how I fulfill you — you would
                            not give into temptations to lead you from
                            your religious vocation — I am your spouse —
                            you love Me — you are fulfilled by Me —
                            you wouldn't "flirt" to have your excitement
                            in a romantic way with other men, women,
                            children — whoever —

                                the key is Union with Me
                                I am the Divine Bridegroom

      

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    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

    

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     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.

   

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     I want a burning, on fire love with My
                                religious, I want them to spend time
                                with Me daily before the Blessed Sacrament.

                            They have a free will — to give into temptation —
                                to not give into temptation.

                            A person committed to the religious life
                                realizes they were called by Me to be
                                My Spouse —

                            They do not stop work with others of the
                                opposite sex, they do work with
                                whoever God wills them to work
                                with, but do not
                                foster romantic relationships with
                                intimate others.

                                Satan works this way, he can tempt
                            people in religious life to have romantic
                            flirtatious relationships — first they
                            begin sharing religious aspects —
                            then it is romantic — looking into
                            eyes, touching, long walks etc., etc —
                                a person in charge of themselves -
                            has their heart rooted in Me — they do
                            not engage in the thoughts that allure
                            romantic expressions between two
                            persons - when it is not God's will
                            for them or they are living a life,
                            a religious life, consecrated to Me
                            as their spouse.

                                How can intimate work in the
                            Church be accomplished if these
                            stereotypes exist and why would
                            you be a religious if you put a
                            person above Me as your Divine
                            Spouse
—

                                for 2 seconds of affection — you
                            can cause scandal and can cross
                            the lines of passions and lose your
                            soul if you give into sin —

                                On the other side of the teeter
                            totter is not doing God's will because
                            one does not do the work they need
                            to do because they want to
                            be sure they don't get tempted.

                                It is simple, the Eucharist is
                            the answer, the realization of
                            the religious as My Spouse and
                            their desire to be faithful to
                            Me in their vocation.

                                Much work can be accomplished
                            by focusing on the job, it is
                            the constant focus on oneself and
                            the desire to work out issues,
                            flirtatious natures etc. — that
                            the devil can use to block work that
                            needs to be accomplished.

                                You, My religious, have given
                            yourselves to Me in a special way
                            as a special spouse. It is in the
                            commitment of those in religious
                            life to celibacy that much reparation
                            is made to Me for the sins of sexual
                            behavior committed by the souls of
                            the people of My earth.

                                I see the sin, the allurement,
                            I see them — so evil in so many ways
                            and then My special religious say
                            Oh God I love You so much — I
                            give You myself as Your bride,
                            wholly and completely —

                            Oh how I love those in a very special
                            way that give themselves as religious,
                            taking the vow of celibacy and
                            they help comfort My aching Heart
                            torn by the sins of the flesh.

                                They beat My Body and tore My
                            Flesh for the sins of the flesh
                            today.

                                Oh many think little of their
                            habitual sins of the flesh — many
                            think little of how they lure others
                            into sin —
                            the pornography magazines on airplane
                                stands, so people can read them
                                in the plane —

                            Oh I tell you to beg for mercy and
                                to be pure.

                            Here is a message I gave years ago —

  

Excerpt from January 5, 1999

Messenger:  On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.

    I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".

    

Message of January 5, 1997

Jesus speaks:  Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.

Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.

A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wondering—you lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.

Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothing—I cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

end of excerpt from January 5, 1997 / 1999  message

    

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     Here is a message given 6 years
                                ago today from the Father.

  

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.

end of January 5, 1999 message

   

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     How can you be closer to Me, My
                                religious?

                            Strive for purity —
                            Strive to put into action that which
                                you talk about.

                            In looking into the face of others —
                                in engaging in love in work
                                with each other - you can
                                accomplish many things, but
                                there must be purity in your
                                heart, a desire to serve the
                                souls, a desire to show love
                                to Me.

                            I want this message to go to all the
                                souls of the earth, that they
                                will know My love.   

   

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus   Introduction

    April 13, 1994

    Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
    Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.
    I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
    I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!
    I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
    I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
    Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
    Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     I want My Song to go to the
                                ends of the earth.

                            I want the world to love —

                            Here is the greatest commandment.

  

1 John 4: 7-10

My dear friends,
let us love one another,
since love is from God
and everyone who loves
    is a child of God and knows God.
Whoever fails to love does not know God,
because God is love.
This is the revelation
   of God’s love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.

    

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:      I have seen people focusing on others
                            when they kneel before the Eucharist.
                            Religious must focus on being
                                faithful to Me —

                            Religious should do God's will —

                            Religious should be those promoting
                                holy oneness in the Church,
                                those most loving,
                                those most compassionate.

                            I have wrapped up a package for
                                you.

                            I give you Myself —
                            I love you so dearly —
                            Sing this song "I Love You, Jesus"

 

 

January 5, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:      You are My precious one —
                            I want a personal relationship
                                with you.

                            I want you to see Me as the Bridegroom
                                of your soul.

   

Song of Songs 2: 8-17

I hear my love. 
See how he comes 
leaping on the mountains, 
bounding over the hills. 
My love is like a gazelle, 
like a young stag. 

See where he stands 
behind our wall. 
He looks in at the window, 
he peers through the opening. 

My love lifts up his voice, 
he says to me, 
‘Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.
For see, winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.

‘Flowers are appearing on the earth.
The season of glad songs has come,
the cooing of the turtledove is heard in our land.
The fig tree is forming its first figs 
and the blossoming vines give out their fragrance. 
Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.

‘My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,
in the coverts of the cliff,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet
and your face is lovely.’
Catch the foxes for us,
the little foxes
that make havoc of the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in fruit.

My love is mine and I am his. 
He pastures his flock among the lilies. 

Before the day–breeze rises, 
before the shadows flee, return! 
Be, my love, like a gazelle, like a young stag, 
on the mountains of Bether.

  

Song of Songs 7: 11-14

I belong to my love, 
and his desire is for me. 

Come, my love, 
let us go to the fields. 
We will spend the night in the villages, 
and in the early morning we will go to the vineyards. 
We will see if the vines are budding, 
if their blossoms are opening, 
if the pomegranate trees are in flower. 
Then I shall give you 
the gift of my love. 
The mandrakes yield their fragrance, 
the most exquisite fruits are at our doors; 
the new as well as the old, 
I have stored them for you, my love.

  

Song of Songs 8: 5-7

Who is this coming up from the desert 
leaning on her lover? 

I awakened you under the apple tree, 
where your mother conceived you, 
where she who bore you conceived you.

Set me like a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is strong as Death,
passion as relentless as Sheol.
The flash of it is a flash of fire,
a flame of Yahweh himself.
Love no flood can quench,
no torrents drown.
Were a man to offer all his family wealth
to buy love,
contempt is all that he would gain.

  

Hosea 4: 4-6

But let no one denounce, no one rebuke; 
it is you, priest, that I denounce. 
Priest, you will stumble in broad daylight, 
and the prophet will stumble with you 
    in the dark, 
and I will make your mother perish. 
My people perish for want of knowledge. 
Since you yourself 
    have rejected knowledge, 
so I shall reject you from my priesthood; 
since you have forgotten 
    the teaching of your God, 
I in my turn shall forget your children.

  

Sing:  Hosea
