                Given November 29, 2014 

                Jesus: Do you feel trapped and you don't even admit it
                    to yourself?

                Resistance to one's calling is a big part of the
                    slovenly way some do their work –
                    They want to be in control.
                    They have their own plan.

                Time is needed to be alone with God, but
                    I have called you to a specific mission –
                    so you talk to yourself why you
                    don't do it.

                My Father called Me to sacrifice – life is a
                    sacrifice. You need each other, but when
                    one refuses and demands their own timing,
                    their own way and they have a particular
                    mission they do - do – they have a hook in
                    the works and stop the smooth flow of
                    unity and love that could be, because of
                    their selfishness and control.

                I came to this earth and I showed you I did
                    the Father's will despite any person
                    around me – Read the message of April 25, 1994
                    in Blue Book III on the Father's will.

     

          From Blue Book 3

I Call You to Do My Will-Do You Answer?

April 25, 1994

R. I can't judge what His Will is for me by your behavior. I have to decide what He is calling me to do by whatever He is saying to me. If the whole world does one thing but He is telling me something else, I have to do His Will. You have your commands to follow from Him; I have mine.

If you choose to do something, but He tells me to do something else, I cannot get angry at you. I must love you where you are and pray for you. I am not the judge; I am not the jury; I am to spread His love. Always love nothing short of how He loved all. He did not condemn. He spoke about love; He spoke the truth. He is the Way, He is the Life, He is the Truth. His truth He makes known to us in His word, in our hearts, in these letters. I can choose His way or my own way. His ways He makes clear.

It is up to me to choose my will or His Will. Doing His Will is His Will. Many times it is not doing what I like at first, but He knows exactly what I need. Doing His Will is the way to live in harmony. He knows all things. Do I pick and choose and do my will or His Will? I know what He is calling me to do. Maybe I don't like it.

Writing these letters will not make me popular. Many do not want to love as He asks, give up their food, give up their pleasure, love everyone, even people they don't want to love, stop getting angry, get rid of self. "Oh," you say, "what fun is that?"

end of excerpt

                Jesus: A man was told a hundred, two hundred times what
                    he was to do –
                    two hundred times he didn't do it –

                It is his way to do it his way, his timing,
                    come and go as he pleases –
                    would you put him in charge of an
                    organization?

                I call and have taught about unity –
                The Father's Plan is communication and unity –
                To be united, to be trustworthy, to communicate.

                I have communicated to you here –
   

Look, my servant will prosper,
will grow great, will rise to great heights.

As many people were aghast at him—
he was so inhumanly disfigured
that he no longer looked like a man—
so many nations will be astonished
and kings will stay tight–lipped
   before him,
seeing what had never been told them,
learning what they had not heard before.

Who has given credence
    to what we have heard?
And who has seen in it
   a revelation of Yahweh’s arm?
Like a sapling he grew up before him,
like a root in arid ground.
He had no form or charm to attract us,
no beauty to win our hearts;
he was despised, the lowest of men,
a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering,
one from whom, as it were,
   we averted our gaze,
despised, for whom we had no regard.
Yet ours were the sufferings
    he was bearing,
ours the sorrows he was carrying,
while we thought of him
   as someone being punished
and struck with affliction by God;
whereas he was being wounded
    for our rebellions,
crushed because of our guilt;
the punishment reconciling us fell on him,
and we have been healed by his bruises.
We had all gone astray like sheep,
each taking his own way,
and Yahweh brought the acts of rebellion
of all of us to bear on him.
Ill–treated and afflicted,
he never opened his mouth,
like a lamb led to the slaughter–house,
like a sheep dumb before its shearers
he never opened his mouth.

Forcibly, after sentence, he was taken.
Which of his contemporaries
    was concerned
at his having been cut off
    from the land of the living,
at his having been struck dead
    for his people’s rebellion?
He was given a grave with the wicked,
and his tomb is with the rich,
although he had done no violence,
had spoken no deceit.

It was Yahweh’s good pleasure
    to crush him with pain;
if he gives his life as a sin offering,
he will see his offspring
    and prolong his life,
and through him
    Yahweh’s good pleasure will be done.

After the ordeal he has endured,
he will see the light and be content.
By his knowledge, the upright one,
   my servant will justify many
by taking their guilt on himself.

Hence I shall give him a portion
    with the many,
and he will share the booty
    with the mighty,
for having exposed himself to death
and for being counted
   as one of the rebellious,
whereas he was bearing the sin of many
and interceding for the rebellious.

                Jesus: Stiffness comes from men who want to
                    not trust anyone –
                    they want to do it in their way and
                    in their timing –

                Faith is seeing the vision of the Father –

                The whole Second Blue Book over 20 years
                    ago is on surrender.  

                Jesus: A person could walk down into a big
                    hole because it looked interesting –
                    so he did –
                    he went down and down and down and it
                    was very, very deep –

                Soon he wanted to come out –
                    It was dark, very dark, rocky and
                        he went very, very low –

                He saw there was no rocks to put his
                    foot on to get out –
                    Night fall was coming and it was
                    becoming so black he couldn't see anyone
                    around –
                    although he knew others were in there.
 

                Jesus: The man knew he was supposed to be in
                    a meeting with other men from his
                    work, but he just decided, as usual,
                    to go wandering and exploring alone and went
                    off, like usual, because he just liked to
                    do his own thing, when he wanted, how he wanted.
                    He thought only of himself and he liked to
                    come and go and show others how he
                    had no strings attached –
                    Then he would show up when he wanted, with
                    a surprise for attention and once again
                    all waited while he showed his plan.

                Well now he wished he had a string from above
                    to hold onto. He was at the bottom of the
                    big rock, mud hole, it was dark, he couldn't
                    see and he tried to find a rock to stand on
                    and crawl up – but he was like a lone
                    soldier suspended in the low ravine –
                    he had put himself in – wandering and
                    exploring when he could have just gone
                    along and done the work needed with the
                    others – he was in the habit of doing
                    the opposite and it was getting worse
                    and worse – how he opposed what
                    would have been easy to do and help through
                    his harmonious participation where he
                    was called to be.

                At long last in the bottom of the hole – he
                    cried "Help, Help, Help me" – he
                    never asked for anybody he should have
                    to help him before –
                    he was too busy proving he was better at
                    doing everything, than anybody else –
                    so he never would show he was to work
                    as a team player –

                A strong man came over from the dark, across
                    the hole and said –
                    don't be afraid, I can help you.

                His love and compassion helped him in his
                    panic.

                Then it showed up as they walked – on the
                    other side of the hole - way over
                    was a door and a drive way.
                    The door was bolted and a truck
                    had driven down the steep driveway –

                The man got out of the truck and was unlatching
                    the door, the nice man took the man
                    over to the door and soon - they were out –
                    the nice man and two women led him
                    around the block to his car –

                His car did him no good when he was trapped
                    in the hole – He loved his car – he could
                    go anywhere and get away from others –
                    It didn't help him when he was
                    trapped in the hole, though, did it.

                His friends from the meeting - were familiar
                    faces and because he was
                    missing had tried to find him and
                    they were there to walk him to his car.

                There are so many ways the Holy Spirit is
                    working in men to work together and
                    do the job of building the Kingdom
                    of God.

                Team players work as one –

                R. Why would a man be so afraid to trust the
                    people God sent him to work with.

                    The truth is God has a plan and God
                created us and we are to work together
                for the building of the Kingdom –

                The story God has given in the Blue Books
                    are unity – love – obedience to just
                    authority –
                    greater faith, hope, love, humility,
                        prudence, temperance, justice,
                        fortitude –

                No man is an island –

                When he thinks he is equal to God in
                    intelligence he is like Eve in
                    the Garden –
 

 The Fall

   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.

   The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’

   Then Yahweh God said to the snake, ‘Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you of
    all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.’

     To the woman he said:

     I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
     you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
     Your yearning will be for your husband,
      and he will dominate you.

   To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

     Accursed be the soil because of you!
     Painfully will you get your food from it
     as long as you live.
   It will yield you brambles and thistles,
     as you eat the produce of the land.
   By the sweat of your face
     will you earn your food,
     until you return to the ground,
     as you were taken from it.
     For dust you are
     and to dust you shall return.’

   The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, ‘Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!’ So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. 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.

                R. God created a beautiful, harmonious
                    world and Eve disobeyed God
                    because of her pride –

                The more one gives into pride (seeking dominance
                    for dominance sake) anger, jealousy,
                    envy, slothfulness, lust, gluttony
                    He is like the man in the hole –
                    It gets darker and darker and he doesn't
                        even see –

                The Holy Spirit brings a Guiding Light
                    to us –

                God is in charge

                God is communicating and we
                    don't really listen to Him
                    either when we act this way –

                Hell is full of people who did it
                    their way – who sinned mortally
                    because they didn't want anyone,
                    including God –
                    to tell them what to do –

                The devil tempts men to isolate - make
                    their own rules –
                    even violate the natural law –

                Satan wants souls for hell –

                But he wants confusion, isolation,
                    lack of communication.

                Jesus: Why would a man crawl in
                    a big ravine and keep going
                    deeper and deeper?

                From Blue Book 15

June 5, 1997 Rosary (excerpts)
at Morrow, Ohio

The Coronation

1. Jesus: My beloved ones, this is how satan works in your head. At the moment that you are attacked, he tells you that you must worry and you must be concerned and then he plays in your mind thoughts of how others have offended you and how they are plotting to harm you or to hurt you. And then your mind begins to wonder and then your heart is troubled and you feel at once that you must act or that you must share this with another. For you are feeling suspicious and hurt. The impulsiveness that you feel many times is the sign that it is satan. You must quiet your heart. You must quiet your fears. You must give your cares to Me. You must surrender. He works when you are tired and when you are hungry and when you feel unloved. He is there waiting, lurking by your side, coming into your thoughts, planting seeds of division between you and those that you love. His way is to divide you. My way is to bring you into oneness.

2. Jesus: You must practice the discipline to not act impulsively when you are motivated to move ahead. And you feel edgy and agitated. You must continue to do My work for satan will attack you as you are working and you will have to press ahead and it will almost seem as if you cannot move ahead. But this is satan who aims to stop you. And you will feel tired and you will feel like you cannot pick up the phone. And you will feel that you cannot do this job, that it is too hard, that another day maybe, but not today. And there will be call after call. Someone that you must talk to now that will stop you from doing this job. I am telling you that millions of souls will be affected by the work that you do here. And that is why you are being pressed on by satan. You must not give in to his tactics. You must be aware that he is there to distract you, to have some call you to keep you from the job that is at hand. You must focus on one job until it is done. If others call and call you must not answer many of the calls. Set time aside to do the work that I have given to you for I have called each one of you and given you the talents that you need to accomplish this task. Satan will try to do everything to keep you from the mission that I have called you to. You know how it is. There are millions of souls that are at stake and what you do in this movement is crucial to the renewal of the church and the world. You must forever have before your eyes the burning souls of hell for you are helping souls to get to heaven.

 

The Assumption

9. Jesus: Are you afraid My beloved ones? I can look around this room at this very moment and I can see the fear and the frustration within your heart. You must let go of all of the fear that you feel in your heart at this moment. At this moment I am asking you to focus on the love of My Heart, to go to My Heart, this red chamber, this room, and to think of nothing but the warmth of My love and to be alone with Me, to take all of the cares that are inside of your mind and to put them to rest and to focus only on My Divine love, to see My beating Heart, to see the red chamber of My Heart. Release yourselves of all of the problems in your mind and in your heart and to feel only love.

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. Jesus: Imperfections, imperfections, you are filled with imperfections. But that which offends Me the greatest is the heart that comes to Me that is haughty. I long for the heart that comes that is contrite and that is loving. I am asking you to put aside your haughtiness and your pride and to come to Me with a heart that is humble, that is gentle, that is loving. I am Jesus. I am asking you to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.

 

The Assumption

5. R. Do we realize, in a message that I received from Jesus at Easter, how we truly are this family of the Father that will spread out to the rest of the world, in which the rest of the world will be one as a holy, happy family? Do we realize that we are the core and the center of this? That He is really forming us? That He is teaching us? That He has given to us each other that we can be most intimately involved in our hearts with one another. That we do not talk about the socks and the weather and the cars on the road and whatever that we talk about the things in our hearts. The love of God. We talk about things, how we feel. We talk about things and it is very hard when we are talking many times with others because we cannot share deeply, our feelings in our hearts. This is a great gift that He has given to us to help bring about this era of the Two Hearts.

6. R. And so you go out and you say I do not understand. They do not speak about the things that I want to speak about. And my heart feels so cold.

Jesus: I am forming you, My apostles to carry My love into this world. It is in praying with your heart, it is in being in your heart, it is in loving with your heart that you will spread this devotion of My Heart to the world.

7. R. What if we went to church and the priest got up and the priest said, "Jesus loves you so much. Pray to Jesus. He is longing for your love at this moment. He will give Himself to you in the Holy Eucharist. You are offering yourself up to Jesus and Jesus will outpour His love to you and you will feel His Divine love within your heart." This is what Jesus wants of our world. The world is blind. He has given to us this great gift. This great grace to know Him most intimately in our hearts. He has given to us one another to share this love in our hearts. We must focus on the glass being half full and not half empty. We must look around at each other and love each other in all of our imperfections, to love the little quirks and the personality that irritate us many times. For in a family there is love and He is using us to be His family, His little heart beating in this world.
