Messenger: This is the message Our Lady wishes me to deliver to you this day Oct.18, 1998.
On May 13, 1997, we gathered at Tom Arlinghaus' farm as directed for the rosary of the 13th.
We had been instructed to have a particular large statue of the Sacred Heart and a particular statue of Our Lady with her Immaculate Heart at all 13ths since Oct. 13, 1996, when the rosaries began at Tom's farm as instructed by Jesus.

On that particular 13th, we were instructed by Jesus and Mary to meet at Tom's farm. The statues were placed on a table and the rosary was given.
In the fourth mystery I accounted the events of May 13, 1993, when I was in Conyers, Georgia. I had never referred to this before in the more than 700 rosaries which had been given up to that time.
On that particular day in Conyers, May 13, 1993, the wind was calm, and then immediately after the rosary, it was so windy. I told how the umbrella turned inside out. The rain came down with such force it was awful. I was soaked through to my socks. I finally got to the car, threw in all the possessions, the cameras and everything else, all of which was so wet. It was like a miracle that the cameras and other possessions that were all wet were not ruined. It was as if everything dried up.
As we left Conyers, a peace came over us and I dictated to my daughter the first message that appears in God's Blue Book I.
All the way home we were followed by the miracle of the sun which we video taped, along with the calm leaves, and then the darkened storm that had instantly come immediately after the rosary. We made many copies of this video, because the events had made such a traumatic impact on us. We circulated the video to several friends.
I had received messages since Oct. 1991.
I heard about Conyers in March of '93, and went there in April of '93. At that time, in the prayer room in the apparition house April 14-15, my family and I saw a man clothed in a burlap type sack which looked very strange. The man's eyes were focused upward and then he disappeared. There were only about two people besides my family in the apparition house. Later, as we were taking photos, we almost tripped over the man. His burlap garment blended in with the floor, and he was bent over as in a ball, praying on the floor.
I thought later that it could have been St. John the Baptist. This was my first experience at Conyers.
I felt the experience on May 13, 1993, majorly changed our lives. We were less focused on the world and more on God. To get back to the message I received May 13, 1993, Our Lord made it very clear to me that I was to put this message dictated to my daughter in the 1st Volume of God's Blue Book. He told me it was to go first.
My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.
Messenger: In a study of His messages and the earlier messages of Mary given to other visionaries (some are in Fr. Carter's The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje), you will notice a definite difference between Mary's messages and how Jesus is so focused on life in Him.
He begins "My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me."
This is the mission we have in the Shepherds of Christ Movement: that Christ will be so alive in their hearts as they dwell in Him.
In the Prayer for Union with Jesus, we say:
"Come to me Lord and possess my soul."
"I only want to operate as You do dwelling within me ."
"Come and dwell in me now."
The message Jesus gives in God's Blue Books is to help to lead the soul into a deep intimate union with Him. A good example of this is seen in how He begins God's Blue Book I. "I live in you and you live in Me."
We can see the plea of Jesus in John 17:21 in His prayer to the Father.
John 17:21
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
Messenger: We also read in John 15:4-5.
John 15:4-5
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.
...But to address the issue at hand. Immediately after the rosary, at Tom's farm, the wind blew profusely and the chairs, lawn swing, tables, everything blew over.
The big statues of Jesus and Mary fell to the ground.
The head of Mary was cut off and her head landed face up. She was cracked through her Immaculate Heart and her body was down with her back up.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue was also broken and lying face down.
Soon we will include these pictures on the Internet as Our Lord has requested.
This wind was so strong, just as in Conyers. I wanted to run for cover. I didn't care about my books or music or keyboard or anything, I was ready to run for cover.
I did not write a message from heaven today. I received these directions for today's message.
I have received messages over and over again to publish this rosary of May 13, 1997, on a video with some messages from the rosary of Aug. 19,1997.
Jesus and Mary wanted this rosary live on the video of Tom's farm with pictures of the broken statues and overturned chairs, etc., on May 13, 1997.
Because of complications and damage to both tapes, this has not yet been done.
Our Lady lamented strongly to me this morning. She was crying out for help.
I was told by Our Lady she wished this video published promptly with the printed rosary published on the Internet as soon as possible. I ask you to pray that we will be able to do this as soon as possible as Our Lady requests.
I account at Our Lady's request the events of May 13, 1997, at Tom's farm when the statues blew over.
I further account the events at Conyers when I received the first message for God's Blue Book Volume I.
Pray the finished document will follow soon.
