Jesus speaks:        I AM YOUR KING

Jesus speaks:        Promote My Kingdom

Listen to me, Yahweh, answer me,
for I am poor and needy. 
Guard me, for I am faithful, 
save your servant who relies on you. 

You are my God, take pity on me, Lord, 
for to you I cry all the day. 
Fill your servant’s heart with joy, Lord, 
for to you I raise up my heart. 

Lord, you are kind and forgiving, 
rich in faithful love for all who call upon you. 
Yahweh, hear my prayer, 
listen to the sound of my pleading. 

In my day of distress I call upon you, 
because you answer me, Lord; 
among the gods there is none to compare with you, 
no great deeds to compare with yours. 

All nations will come and adore you, Lord, 
and give glory to your name. 
For you are great and do marvellous deeds, 
you, God, and none other. 

Teach me, Yahweh, your ways, 
that I may not stray from your loyalty; 
let my heart’s one aim be to fear your name. 

I thank you with all my heart, Lord my God, 
I will glorify your name for ever, 
for your faithful love for me is so great 
that you have rescued me from the depths of Sheol.

Arrogant men, God, are rising up against me, 
a brutal gang is after my life, 
in their scheme of things you have no place. 

But you, Lord, God of tenderness and mercy, 
slow to anger, rich in faithful love and loyalty, 
turn to me and pity me. 

Give to your servant your strength, 
to the child of your servant your saving help, 
give me a sign of your kindness. 

My enemies will see to their shame 
that you, Yahweh, help and console me.

I Am Here in the Tabernacle

January 15, 1994 9:15 a.m.
St. Michael Church

Jesus: You come here and I am waiting. Let go of all distractions Satan busies your mind with. You have come to adore your King. Block out all and focus on the King of Glory.

I am Jesus. I am God. I am your all. I am God. Worship, honor, glory--all is My due. Blow the trumpets, sound the horns! There are others to walk about, but no thought, not even a prayer, for the King of Glory.

I am very sad and hurt by all who neglect Me and do not come to Me as I sit here. Where are they? I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. If for one instant I were to cease to think of them, they would cease to be, but they do not even realize Who I am. My heart is so sad. What do they think, for their busy lives? They are in the presence of a King and they don't even recognize Me!

It delights Me so that you have come to Me. I love you with such intense love and I want to give you so many gifts. Come and be with Me in silence. Sit and I will help you block out distractions. I am the King of Glory. I am God. If people come to My house here, it is not to pray, outside of Mass. They come to fix the church and miss the King of Glory. Blind! How blind they are!

Blessed be the name of God. At His Name every knee must bow. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God and have spoken to you, My child. Be with Me. Tell your friends to come and bang on the doors to My church. The priests lock Me up all day. Those who want to come cannot get in! Tell them to come and adore Me and open My doors.

Trinity Sunday

May 29, 1994 Before Mass

I am with you, My precious one. I am God. Today is the Feast of the Trinity. God is here, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Praise Us, worship Us, honor Us. We are truly present and ready to take your prayers to Our heavenly court.

After Communion:

The more you know and love Me, the more you know and love the Father, for He is one in Me and I am one in Him. The Father has sent Me to be one in you. Reach with love in your heart for the one, triune God. To know Me is to love the Father. He is your Father. He created you. He loves you. You are His precious creation.

The Holy Spirit is the love that exists between the Father and Son. It is through the Spirit you are given the knowing power to see God. God is one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three equal persons in one God. Go to the Spirit. Beg for His gifts to see God, one, holy, true. Go to the Spirit. Ask Him to remove the blinders from your eyes. Where you were blind, you now see. You see with such clarity, you hear with such wisdom, only through the Spirit. You of yourself would not know such things. Beg to be opened to the Spirit. Beg Him to give you His life within you.

Love your Savior Jesus Christ and know how He loves you through the Eucharist. Know that all the love you have for Jesus and He has for you is extended to the Father for they are one with each other.

If you could behold the sight of God, your eyes could not see. You do not reach with your hearts to know God. Pray to the Spirit to open up your hearts and give you the eyes to see. You of yourself are blind and deaf. This is the gift of the Spirit, to know God. Such love pours out to you. Pray to Mary to love through her sinless Heart.

R. God in His magnificence is truly present. How do I love Him? How do I, a mere creature, love God? Only through the Immaculate Heart of Mary can I love with such great love. My precious God, I am so imperfect. Through her sinless Heart, through her ardent love for God, I can love Him more deeply.

Spirit, open my eyes. Fill me. Open my heart. Give me Your life that the life and love of God might dwell within my breast. I beg for Your gifts. I implore You to help me unite more fully with God through Mary.

Jesus: And I came unto you and you were filled with My love, and the power of the Lord shone upon you, the power of the the one, triune God.

R. He is mighty and worthy of all praise. Fall to your knees. Fall and adore Him. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Mysteries of Light

Kingdom of God

1.  Luke 17: 20-25

Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and there will be no one to say, "Look, it is here! Look, it is there!" For look, the kingdom of God is among you.’

He said to the disciples, ‘A time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man and will not see it. They will say to you, "Look, it is there!" or, "Look, it is here!" Make no move; do not set off in pursuit; for as the lightning flashing from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of man when his Day comes. But first he is destined to suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation.

2. One of Fr. Carter's favorite scriptures was

Matthew 7:21

‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
       

3. Fr. Carter spent His whole life
        learning about the spiritual life,
        writing about it as a holy priest
        of the Church and learning how
        to love his brothers more deeply. 
        This helped us in the Movement 
        to learn from all his direction
        how to love God and one
        another more perfectly.

4. We are building the Kingdom
        of God by how we love God,
        love one another and try to
        serve God by doing His will.

5. In many situations we can settle
        something selfishly or settle it
        in a way of love to help build
        God's kingdom.

6. Disobeying God's law is not being loving.

7. Parents need to discipline their 
        children in love and help build
        the Kingdom, by helping them
        grow into loving persons.

8.  We are sinners, we try to do what
        God wants, those in authority
        do what they do lovingly to
        build the Kingdom.

9.  Jesus obeyed His Father -- He
        shows us how to be obedient 
        and He loved those under Him
        so much He gave his life for them.

10. We must do what we know God 
        wants of us in a loving way.
        It isn't loving to not do God's will.
