Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusI Have All the Power

April 29, 1994 6:30a.m.

Dear child, do not fume, do not fret. Hold tight to all I have taught you. You will know peace if you listen to My teachings. Satan wants to trip you up. He has no power over you! You must stay fixed on Me and My love. I love you so intently! I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I love you. Why should you worry about anything on this earth?

I am He Who has all the power and I am guarding your way. The devil uses your thoughts to taunt you. Focus your thoughts on Me and loving Me. Do not judge your brothers or worry what they think of you. Operate from love of Me and from selflessness. I will make things happen.

Obey Me in everything I make clear to you in your heart. Be open and focused constantly on Me. I guard your way. Concentrate on My Passion and how I loved you to My death and love you this way this very minute.

I, God, loved you to My death, child. Your only concern is love of Me and love of one another. Strive to love and bring others to heaven.

I call you to preach the gospel this day in your being. Do not miss an opportunity to be Me to this world.

I love you. I go with you. My way is peace. You have nothing to fear ever. I am by your side. I love you, My beautiful child. Come to Me and you will find rest. I operate you and you can rest in My arms. Let go, surrender. I am truly here. I love you. Jesus.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusSeek True Treasures

February 17, 1994 - 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.

I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.

You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?

The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.

Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.

You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life—one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people’s lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday’s forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.

Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!

If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!

Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.

Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.

You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today’s moments, yesterday’s forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?

Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.

Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn’t stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday’s forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.

Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.

Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday’s forgotten treasure.

Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

                October 31, 2015

                R. What is heaven like?

                There is unity, where we are
                wrapped in the embrace of
                Divine Love, but to get to
                heaven we must be pure.

                Dear God,

                    Help us to learn to be obedient
                to You and to live according
                to Your Law for us. God
                is Absolute truth. We have
                a lifetime to seek the truth –
                our life is a letting go process.
                We have to let go to what we were
                able to hold onto because of
                age, let go of ways we could
                do things because our bodies
                just can't do it –

                God has a Plan for all of us
                and we live in time here.
                We cannot even understand
                what it would be like
                to live in this unity, forever
                with God.

                    We are made in the image and likeness
                of God. Our life is empty without
                love – God is love – God is absolute
                truth. God is all knowing –
                God is all good.

                    To be united in eternity – we
                are united to infinite knowledge
                and goodness and truth and
                love –

                    Intensity, but we must live
                to be pure, to live in the truth –
                to seek goodness, let no guile
                be in the man, but he is
                seeking perfection in God.

                  We are seeking goodness to be able
                to embrace it eternally – we are
                seeking truth in our life here
                below.

                    Come to me Lord and possess
                my soul.

                Song: Your Presence Pervades my Soul –


 

                R. We seek the will of God first, above
                    our own desires, we want to
                    know the Plan of God for our
                    life and for the world –
                    We do not plan and prod and
                    schedule our life and then
                    decide to put God's will
                    into our plan – this is debase –
                When we do this –
                    we put ourselves above the eternalness
                    of God and His Plan –
                    for why He created us –
                    He first loved us –
                    We are dependent on God –
                        not the other way around –
                        we are to be servants of
                        God's plan –

                The love of God is love that is
                    so generous –
                    it is not petty and even-stephen,
                    as counting money like
                    Judas who sold Christ
                    for 30 pieces of silver –

                One can see the ugliness of sin,
                    the taintedness of brute selfishness,
                    and pride and against the
                    back drop of God
                    who gives and gives so generously –
                    what we have been given are
                    gifts given by God –
                    so why should a man try to
                    prove his greatness before
                    everyone else – over and over
                    and over again

                Jesus: Let your light shine in the Lord –
                    Light may be illuminations that
                    one never sees with their eyes –
                    like purity seen in generosity
                    given from a heart of love –

                For God is generous to you and others,
                    like Betty, chose to give their lives
                    to God in prayer and sacrifice –
                    all day, all night.

                And yet you measure your wealth as
                    far more precious than anyone
                    who chooses the gift of living
                    totally to serve God –

                Senseless men can see their own
                    minds and in denial will
                    not open up even to see from
                    the heavenly point of view –
                    they are too busy being
                    INDEPENDENT and in control
                    prodding and planning their next move –
                    trying to put God's will into their
                    man-made prideful plan –

                    They say "Oh I dole out to You God, what
                I so generously give", when in fact
                I have given to them their life, their
                talents, opened up doors and they
                did it for their glory; Blessed the
                man who lives for the honor and
                glory of God. There is no good
                outside of Me – I am infinite
                Perfection.

                How do you measure the purity
                of the soul of My Mother
                with your money, child –

                how do you measure –
                love given when I died on the cross
                    for your sins –

                how do you measure forgiveness
                    of sin and giving men the
                    reward of eternal happiness –

                in your eyes – you see like a
                    closed door – many of you –
                    you believe that generosity
                    and goodness begins and
                    ends on you –

                You have missed the first cause –
                    the prideful man when he
                    opens his eyes on rising:
                    sees himself the first cause –

                While a man is seeking his will – he
                wastes time and energy in his
                life. He should be seeking God's
                plan and wanting with his free
                will to chose to do God's will
                first – and many times that is
                not doing the things you would
                rather do, but serving God and
                doing what He wants.

                There is the Divine Law –
                You can be united to God's law or
                swim against the current and
                do your own – causing problems,
                disharmony, darkness, independence
                is doing your own will –
                like Eve in the Garden –

                I have given you a free will – to
                    choose if you will seek God's
                    will and serve God –
                    or plan your own plans and
                    kid yourself trying to put
                    God in your plan.

                To seek My will in love is to go
                    out and to want the heights –
                    to pray to the Holy Spirit to
                    guide the unknown and to
                    give you wisdom to see
                    and embrace God's plan –
                    to be ready to seek goodness,
                    truth and operate in love –

                Giving to God what is His due –

                Recognizing God's generosity given
                    to you –

                Love is the best – do you do
                    what you do for Love of
                    God or love of self –

                To Love is the best – to seek to
                    serve God and love Him and
                    love others because God
                    is love –

                The selfish man sees everything
                    from himself – his point of
                    view – the wounded man in
                    denial, judges things from his
                    box of a wounded heart –
                    controlling and shutting down
                    and trying to make others fall
                    in line under him –

                Life is a journey to be lived under God –
                    Man is dependent on God –
                    God has a plan –
                    Man has been given a free will –
                    What does he do with his
                        free will?

                The will of a man can determine
                    his outcome in life – You
                    are to abandon your will and
                    freely choose love –

                    love of God first above your
                        selfish desires –

                    love of others – because I
                        showed you the way –

                    love of self – is living according
                        to God's will –
                        not being independent,
                        but dying to the tainted
                        ways that are impure
                        and rising to greater
                        perfection –

                The greatest of all is love –
                    you seek God, you seek
                    God's will –
                    You seek to know God as He is –
                    You reach up –

                You don't start with your mind and
                    what you desire out of
                    selfishness and woundedness
                    and then try to put God in
                    your plan and make Him
                    down to your size.

                In heaven man will have the
                    beatific vision and see
                    God face to face –

                In heaven you will have the fullness
                    of life –

                In heaven you will be possessed
                    by God.

  

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

 

                Jesus: In heaven you will have
                    eternal happiness –

                You must try to spread these
                    prayer chapters I gave you
                    to spread.

                Jesus: I attach so many graces to these
                    prayers, prayed with a
                    humble heart for the Church
                    and the world –
                    pray the prayers doting on
                        every word from a pure
                        and humble heart.

                I tell you – you were created by
                    God with a plan –
                    Man must advance in the
                        Plan God has for him –

                    A man can tell you he has
                        accomplished this and that
                        by his own plan and
                        measure his worth by his own
                        accomplishments and disregard the
                        plan of God, who created him for
                        His purpose with all the talents
                        he has to serve God according
                        to His will.

                Adam and Eve were created in the
                    image and likeness of God
                    and they sinned against God –
                    They made themselves a rival
                    to God.

 

Genesis 3: 1-7

    Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

 

Genesis 3: 24

He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

 

                Jesus: Adam and Eve were given great
                gifts – They chose their own will
                over God's will –

                They were to be the first teachers
                    of the human race –

                Adam was given these gifts to
                    teach the children he would
                    have –

                But Adam and Eve chose independence
                    from God –

                And with the sin of Adam and
                    Eve – disorder entered the
                    world –

                Adam was so gifted, but now the
                    human race would be subjected
                    to death and disorder.

                You have been given so many
                    gifts in the sacraments –

                The gift of your knowing and loving
                    capacity elevated in baptism –
                    to be able to love supernaturally
                    but you can refuse to love
                    as God wants you to love and
                    choose your will over
                    God's will and see things
                    from your tainted, closed
                    down point of view –

                I give you a free will to love God and
                    to seek His will or
                    choose to be independent of
                    God's will and try to live
                    your life – working against
                    the current and try putting
                    God into your plan –
                    which is absurdity!
                   

Hebrews 11: 1-4

   Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen. It is for their faith that our ancestors are acknowledged.

   It is by faith that we understand that the ages were created by a word from God, so that from the invisible the visible world came to be.

   It was because of his faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and for that he was acknowledged as upright when God himself made acknowledgement of his offerings. Though he is dead, he still speaks by faith.

  

                R. Read all of Hebrews
                    Chapter 11

               

Hebrews 11: 6

Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and rewards those who seek him.

 

 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

                R. Love of God - demands that we
                    honor God –
 

From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
    by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p. 12

                        23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

                            Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God 
                        our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

 

                R. Love of neighbor we treat
                    our neighbor as God wants.

                God is Absolute Truth –

  

John 14: 6

Jesus said: 

I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. 
No one can come to the Father 
    except through me.
 

                R. Our quest for happiness –
                    our goal is God –

                We seek to obey the will of God
                    over our own will –

                We seek to do the will of God
                    in love as God desires
                    us to be –

                God is all truth
                God is Absolute truth –

                God's Word is the truth!

    

1 Corinthians 2:9

"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;"

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusDo Not Be Troubled or Afraid

 

May 21, 1994

My dear child, I love you. Constantly focus on Me and My love for you. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I live in the hearts and souls of My beloved ones. I have life in this world in you. The more you read these letters, the more I live in you.

I come, you write. Do not be troubled or afraid. Your love for Me and your brothers is all that matters. You think I am not right by your side. I am, child. Come and be close to Me. I want to share Myself with you.

Time is short and you will be tested. Stand still and do not give in to your emotions. Focus on Me and My love for you. You are My soldier in this cold world. I come and comfort you. Do not be troubled and anxious. Only live in My love, My sweet one. Do not worry for I am your beloved one. I love you. Jesus.
