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.


Power Comes from God

Messenger: Life flows from the Father in the Holy Spirit through the pierced Heart of Jesus through Mary's Heart to us.


1 Corinthians 15:20-23

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. 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.


Revelation 14:1-5

The companions of the Lamb

Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first-fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.


Revelation 14:17-20

Another angel, who also carried a sharp sickle, came out of the temple in heaven, and the angel in charge of the fire left the altar and shouted at the top of his voice to the one with the sharp sickle, 'Put your sickle in, and harvest the bunches from the vine of the earth; all its grapes are ripe.' So the angel set his sickle to work on the earth and harvested the whole vintage of the earth and put it into a huge winepress, the winepress of God's anger, outside the city, where it was trodden until the blood that came out of the winepress was up to the horses' bridles as far away as sixteen hundred furlongs.


Messenger: The day of the flood at Falmouth our Lord said, all that would remain would be the fruit of heaven.

And so I quote from March 3, 1997:


March 3, 1997 Message
Day Falmouth Flooded Early Morning

Jesus speaks: Oh, the waters will run and the earth will shake and you will suffer and suffer and work your own plan and say it happened before, it is not a sign from God - it is a phenomenon, a happening, no reason to take notice.

And I will shake you on your tree and you will fall to the ground as rotten fruit and all that will remain will be the fruit of heaven.


Messenger: Today the Feast of the Holy Rosary, I remember the events of October 7, 1997, like it happened yesterday and I cry. On that night I was to deliver a rosary at the Morrow Center. It is the only rosary I remember in which I just didn't get any messages or any mediations either. This saddened me, because it was the Feast of the Holy Rosary.


Excerpt from January 19, 1999 Daily Message

Messenger: There is a Woman Clothed as the Sun appearing on the building in Florida. Her image is so identical to the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Look at the United States and see that on one side beneath the United States is the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico and on the other side is Clearwater, Florida, where her matched book-end image appears. And in the center, a wipe-out of the fruit lands by a torrential hurricane. On October 8, 1997, I remember Our Lord speaking clearly as if He was walking around my bed. He kept repeating in a mumbling tone which woke me and drove me from my bed to write as He spoke.

Jesus speaks: SEEDLESS, BARREN, NO FRUIT on the vine.

Messenger: Over and over He repeated these words which I heard, and I quickly grabbed my pen and notebook. The message appears on the Internet October 10, 1998. His anger came through to me accompanied by His great disappointment. After 2,000 years man has not responded as He had wished. There is so much to tell and so few to listen.


Messenger: When the fruit was wiped out in Honduras I remembered this message of October 8, 1997. On October 8, Jesus was so strong and sounded so angry when He delivered this message.

I felt He opened His Heart and explained things in a depth as never before.

These are accounts from the writing He told us to put on the Internet.


Excerpt from January 31, 1999 Daily Message

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.

No Fruit on the Vine


Message from October 8, 1997

Jesus speaks: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?

Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?

Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy.

What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.

The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth.

He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.

I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.

My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.

My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.

Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts.

I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory.

The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs.

Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.

Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb.

The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.

As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.

The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed 'till there was no more from the one "Son of Man, the Son of God", was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.

They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.

Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, "You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one." and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One.

You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.

I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.

I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.

I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.

You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.

There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death.


Messenger: Now I know He wishes me to write about power today, for He has called me to deliver this message.

After 2000 years since Christ, how perfected are we in our ways of loving?

Think of all the dysfunction taught in the ways of relating since Adam and Eve.

I quote this:


Matthew 12:46-50

The true kinsfolk of Jesus.

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, ‘Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’


Messenger: Christ is our Brother. He calls us His spouses. God gives us a free will to love Him and love others. He does not control.

Even parents cannot force a child to love them.

Everyone of us has a free will.

Nobody can control our wills. Someone may try to force us to perform actions, etc., but the will is ours to have. A person can try to brain wash another, but God so loved us He gave us a free will and wants our loving response freely. Some try to manipulate others in all kinds of ways to get the other to love them as they desire, but nobody can force another to love.

The person must give himself willingly in love.

When a person is forced to relate with another, there may be interaction, but only the person wanting to give his love freely will add love to the situation.

So here in the Movement, in the Church, in our families, are relationships that God wants to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom and the devil helps to create problems in relating so there will be division between parties or sin if they get too close. The bottom line is every relationship must be as God wants, not with division or sin.

So our journey is to learn ways of perfecting our love relationships with one another according to God's will.

The devil masks his activity to cause all kinds of problems in relationships so they will not be according to God's will.

There are all kinds of games and ways we relate that were taught to us that we are not even aware of.

We like that which is familiar, we resist change and we want to feel we are perfect already.

Jesus calls us brothers, Jesus wants a spousal relationship with us. Jesus wants interaction. Jesus acts on the soul with favors and grace and he comes to the soul open and wanting Him.

In families we have been taught many dysfunctional ways of relating. We seek the familiar.

If we are to operate as the people He desires as apostles and leaders in the Movement and the Church communities and the world:

  1. We must operate according to God's will.
  2. There cannot be these dysfunctional ways of relating in which we control others emotionally or act in authority that is not according to God's will.

A parent can teach a child what is right, but a parent should not try to force a child to love. The love should come from within as he is taught the ways of the Lord through the parent's example and teaching.

God gives us a free will. Yet so many of us, because of learned dysfunctional patterns learned from childhood and during our lives, try to force others to love us and act the way we think is right.

I received these writings yesterday.


Given October 6, 1999

Jesus speaks: I call you brother. I am the authority, yet I call you brother. When Mary asks you to mother her children, it is not to get them dependent in a needy way on you, it is to lead them in ways in which they will live and relate according to the Father's will.

My apostles and leaders and others, I do not want you to have relationships in which you feel "up" and in control and you make others under you so you can be in power for power's sake. If making you a leader makes you a parent and them children, you do not understand the concept of authority I give to you. You are children yourselves. I am the SON of God. I came as a child. Who are you to make yourself the god? I do not want you creating false gods or mentors, I want you keeping your focus on Me. You are following in My footprints. My Mother is your model. I am your model. Imperfect ways have been taught to men from other men from generations past.

Messenger: There is a book of 100 most influential men in history.

Jesus Christ is third!!!

Jesus speaks: You follow Me. I am the Good Shepherd. Men have taught men from generations past to follow the leader. The problem is this. Does or did the leader you follow, follow God? Does or did the leader, the teacher, walk in his own name or My name?

Did the leader have his own ideas, so that he wanted all to follow his ways and wanted all under him?

A leader is a teacher, but what does he teach if it does not come from "THE TEACHER", Jesus Christ?


John 14:6

I am the Way; I am Truth and Life....


Messenger: The devil works in this struggle for power between two in relationships. Our whole life is to be lived in loving God and others. This takes relating in love. Our life is relational. In communities many times, the ones under challenge the authority of the one over by creating instances in which those in authority appear to be wrong and they are wishing themselves to be on the top.

Some people that are under, spend their whole time trying to find that lost power because they do not want to be under anyone.

This causes enormous problems when this happens. They constantly are trying to change the plan operating according to God's will to make themselves have unauthorized power.

Some people who get messages many times use this authority to manipulate things.

We must want to do His will, we must want to serve willingly, we must accept the level of authority that is given to us.

Satan always works on the fallen human nature in the same way he worked on Eve.


Genesis 3:4-5

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.'


Messenger: The proper ways to operate in authority and under someone who is in authority come from studying Jesus Who shows us. He calls Himself our brother. He is the Son of the Father. He is the Son of Mary. We are sons and daughters of God.

We are brothers of Jesus. All must function as being under Christ's feet, but He loved us to His death on the cross. All must see that He bowed to the authority of the Father.

The problem with unlawful authority, dominant authority for power's sake, is that it stops the flow of authority and power coming from God and many times makes a person (who is an adult) a needy child depending on our leadership.

Understanding and sympathy will help the relationship, past experiences in relating with others may help the relationship, but a man who needs a child under him and tries to turn adults under him into children will not help a person to be a leader and do as God wills.

He will create a very sick problem. Adults are adults, there needs to be that maturity there to do the work. If everyone looks on Suzie as a little girl and Suzie identifies with this in a needy-childlike position, Suzie will not be a very good leader. She is always depending on her boss. How can she lead if she is a needy child dependent emotionally on a man who needs a daughter or a son to boost his morale and make him feel "big"? Suzie must willingly obey, but not be trapped in a parent-child sick relationship. All are children. All are children of Mary. Every relationship must be as God wills.

Jesus speaks: I do not like those who criticize those under them to make themselves feel superior. Realize that you depend on My grace.

Every person must function appropriately. Others need to work out their problems and you need to work out your problems. You must help each other. You must not create situations that make others psychologically dependent on you.

These situations arise from people who do not do God's will in a given situation. God wills all to operate in loving harmony, in oneness.

To treat a person according to one of your old patterned relationships of the past is not to deal with the uniqueness of the individual and the uniqueness of the situation in which God wishes to act for His purpose and plan. Some take that which is familiar and recreate a situation similar so it can be dealt with according to that which is familiar.

Old patterned ways of relating that are dysfunctional must be reviewed.

All relationships must be exactly as God wills.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q:  How has loving you helped me to grow to be a better person in the world?
