Messenger: Water Cleanses
Christ allowed John to Baptize
Him.
Matthew 3: 13-17
Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’

Isaiah 61: 1-3
The spirit of Lord Yahweh
is on me
for Yahweh has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring the news
to the afflicted,
to soothe the broken–hearted,
to proclaim liberty to captives,
release to those in prison,
to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh
and a day of vengeance for our God,
to comfort all who mourn
(to give to Zion’s mourners),
to give them for ashes a garland,
for mourning–dress, the oil of gladness,
for despondency, festal attire;
and they will be called
‘terebinths of saving justice’,
planted by Yahweh to glorify him.

Messenger: Jesus preached.
Jesus is the teacher.
Excerpt from December 29, 1996
Messenger: "...he who is your teacher will hide no longer, and you will see your teacher with your own eyes." (Isaiah 30:20)
Jesus speaks: Yes, I am the Teacher of whom they speak and I will reveal to them the secrets of My Heart through these writings and the teacher will be brought to light as the children of light are conceived and brought forth from the womb of the woman.
She is the woman clothed as the sun. She is Our Lady of Light bringing forth her children into the world and the devil's deadly influence will be no more for, as children are conceived and dwelling within the Immaculate Heart of My Mother, she will smite the dragon and they will be protected, My children of light.
End of excerpt from December 29, 1996
Matthew 10: 7
And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand.
Luke 4: 20-24
He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the assistant and sat down. And all eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to speak to them, ‘This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening.’ And he won the approval of all, and they were astonished by the gracious words that came from his lips.
They said, ‘This is Joseph’s son, surely?’ But he replied, ‘No doubt you will quote me the saying, “Physician, heal yourself,” and tell me, “We have heard all that happened in Capernaum, do the same here in your own country.” ’ And he went on, ‘In truth I tell you, no prophet is ever accepted in his own country.
John 10: 36

whom the Father has consecrated
and sent into the world you say,
‘You are blaspheming’

Meditate on the Miracles of Jesus
Marriage at Cana
John 2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’

Jesus speaks: Water is used for cleaning.
some people carry bags of bitterness
on their back and they find a
scapegoat - they believe has
hurt them and they put
the name of the scapegoat
on their bag of bitterness -
then they send hate, negative
energy in the world instead of
love -
Love empowers.
When ones heart is free and united there
is energy and love -
Satan comes and causes division -
he tries to block big prayer services -
satan wants to run you down
stomp on you and leave you out
to dry.
A person that is filled with hate - looking
for another to fill them -
or carrying a bag of hatred for others -
sends negative energy into the world -
It is not in the spirit of filling the
world - giving out -
It is a selfish relationship -
when one wants to possess
another for their own
well being.
It is a sick relationship when
one carries bags of division and
hatred on their back - directed
at others.
A man was an angry man, but
failed to admit the truth about
himself -
He prided himself on how holy
he was by what prayers
he prayed - how he rigidly
followed rules he gave himself
to do for a rigorous prayer life.
His union with Me was shallow -
He came and prided himself on
what he prayed and saw himself
as persecuted by his leaders and
those he should have respected.
He did not grow -
He was very un Christ-like -
He fooled himself -
He sent negative - division into
the world -
He tore down the world with
his hate -
People that live in little worlds of their
own -
people who see themselves as constantly
persecuted by others and never
grow out of it -
May very well be on a bad road -
Roads that lead to Me spread like
wings as you continue to travel -
Now look at 2 roads -
one road went ahead and what
could be seen far ahead
was a golden rainbow,
wings and a wider opening.
Another may travel down the road
where there are closed arms and
an abrupt end - a big pit -
A Black hole.
The winged road gets wider and wider.
The closed arm road, stops and dumps
their victims in a hole.
You were created to love.
I am love -
Love some you say and make others
the ones who victimize you
so you can use them like
a "whippin boy" for your black, dark,
angry heart -
LOVE - gives
LOVE is found in doing My will -
When they beat Me and crowned Me
and ripped My flesh -
they hung Me on a cross and
I spread My arms wide for
your sins.
I did not close My arms and say
"no way".
I said "yes" -
I said "yes"
My Heart is pure -
On fire with love -
What ugly things do you pin on others
because you don't want to
be thankful to God for your
gifts from God today -
Some are a pot of negative energy
waiting to pin their ugly
division inside on anyone -
How pure is your soul -
How sweet around you the air
you breathe -
Let me tell you about passive -
aggressive behavior -
It is like a smoking - rag in
the corner of a wood pile -
The wood pile would remain a
wood pile unless -
a person put a smoking -
smoldering rag under
some vulnerable logs -
What is the cause of the destructive
fire that occurred and caused the
wood pile to burn -
Well you say someone put smoldering
rags under some logs that
caught fire and
now the wood pile
was burned up.
Some people are like that -
Inside they are a smoldering
angry rag -
They don't tell anyone -
They are deceptive -
One opens their door and they try
them and try them -
they are a master of this
violin - using silence
at the proper time and
allegro, andante and whatever
it takes -
As one with well intentioned love and
a pure heart comes - they chip
away like one whittling a
block of wood at the well-
intentioned person -
It is satan that writes the score -
chip, chip - silence, quick
pace, long pause - voices
up - impossibility.
Then if the time draws near - they go
in for the kill -
shaking voice - angry
monotone and
You have now with the last move
passed your bag on to the
other.
Victory to you - you think
like passing your monkey to the
back of another -
A smoldering rag under a pile of
wood caused the big fire.
One cigarette thrown in the forest.
Satan is crafty -
You can feel negative energy around
some -
Some never want any superiors and
get the lead through passive-
aggressive measures -
Where would the Church, the
family, the world be
without structure -
But satan attacks the leader to
weaken the institution, the
family.
One can be at work and another begins
talk against the boss who
just took over -
LOW - BLOW -
The person creating the problem
could be very selfish
seizing the opportunity to get power -
at the expense of the very
company and institution or family
he loves.
There must be submissiveness to
authority because everybody
can't be in charge.
Messenger: God shows us this in how He set
up the Church -
You are Peter and upon this rock
I will build My Church.
Jesus speaks: Some if they are asked to be
submissive, just become
a smoldering rag.
A man was one of the leaders of
a big bank -
When the President tried to
change things - the second
leader would go over and
kiss the wounded persons
feelings - weakening the
direction given by the
President.
He enabled the weakness to
continue -
Rather than supporting the
President so the company would
get better - he turned the people
underneath - against the head and
soon the place fell apart.
He loved to be liked - he wanted
to console - he thought little of
what was the right thing to do -
he habitually did this - no matter
what the issue - he acted
incorrectly - he led the place
into the ground with his
incorrect ways of handling things.
When someone is in charge
of an institution, bank, family -
those who are leaders underneath
should support the leader who
has to discipline and do these hard
jobs of correcting.
In an alcoholic home -
the alcoholism may not be
cured as long as the wife
protects the alcoholic in his
sickness, while he is
untouched and she becomes
sick herself and the children
dysfunctional while he rages,
falls down, gets drunk and
is totally unpredictable -
they live a life of "hell" and
she protects him and helps the
behavior to continue -
demanding silence of the
children when they live on
a battlefield of
unpredictability.
Perfectionism is a sickness -
when someone makes a mistake and
puts themselves in charge by
never admitting it - covering it
up and not allowing anyone to
expose the problem -
painting a halo on their
head and wings on their back -
while they continue their
wrongful behavior -
when admitting it - working it
out could make it solved in
minutes - they carry division
forever -
Never understanding the real
meaning of oneness and forgiveness,
truth and building up the
body.
Fr. Carter said something about the
love in our lives.
Excerpt from Response to God's Love, Chapter 8
we ourselves might be guilty of neglecting numerous opportunities for loving them. If our main concern is to love others rather than to be loved by them, I think we will more often than not be surprised at the love others show us over a lifetime.

Messenger:
Working on ourselves and how
we are is our job here -
God put us imperfect human
creatures on this earth to grow
in perfection - not to say
"I'm perfect, I never make a
mistake and I don't need to
grow."
What would happen to a plant
if it had an attitude like
that -
The corn before it even bloomed.
The error is in protecting ourselves
when we do something wrong -
we keep ourselves stuck -
like the tire in the mud -
It won't budge and when the
men came to help she said
"I'm perfect" and
she stayed there by the
side of the road !!!
STUCK IN
MUD.
"I'm perfect."
"I'm better than you"
Do you hear the real
sound of the hearts -
We don't fool God
we only fool ourselves.
God put us here to work on
ourselves -
to be more like Him and
none of us have arrived,
But we sure can quit
growing when we
block His plan - for
one - we want more.

It is willfulness.
It is not like the trees
that bend in the wind -
It's like stiff timbers

And guess what -
Trees that do not bend
in the wind are
stuck -
Our lives are unpredictable -
we don't even know
when we will die -
God put us here to grow and
be like Him and
help each other -
We are like the bossy
fish in the tank, some
of us, that try to eat
the other fish.
We Are All Like Little Fish
February 3, 1994
R. The King of Glory is in His house. All have left. (Talking and indifference after Communion and He is so close!)
Jesus: I am the King of Glory. I am God. You are here in this House. You are in My presence. You, who are unworthy to tie My shoe!
R. This morning I thought my relationship with Jesus could be compared to my loving our one-inch fish. It seems so silly! Such power and such ignorance! I could see God, bothering with little us! We had some bad fish once. There was a fish that chased the others and bit them. We got rid of the fish. Why let the fish hurt the good fish? It was a little, tiny fish, but so brassy to be so mean in front of us when we could snatch him up in a second and put him in the sink!
This is the King of Glory. Such honor and dignity is his due! We have made light of His majesty. We have made ourselves our own gods. We see this world as an end in itself, yet He sits on His throne and watches us as we watched the fish. We are busy about our lives and pay no mind to Him Who cares for us and watches us. The fish would die if we didn't feed them. They would die if we put poison in their water. They need us to oversee the tank. Likewise we do not see the eyes of God as He watches us like little fish. Busy. Busy doing what? Where are you going? In one second He can snatch us from the tank and put us in the sink!
Who has the power, the fish or the person who owns the fish? Do we have any power at all? In one second He can steal our breath away. Somehow, in our blindness, all of us still know that a force mightier than ourselves holds the reins. But such stupidity to think we have control!
Oh, Lord, who are we that You, God, even give us concern? You, in your might, not only give us concern, but such intense and great love! It is as my loving my fish--such imbalance! But He Who is such a Good God loved us to His death! He loves us this way this very day. Why does He love us? He is such a good God! Who are we that He is so good to us? Ought we not bow down low in such great honor to Him Who sustains us and loves us? He is worthy of all honor and all praise. He is, indeed, the King of Glory. Praise His Name. Bow before Him. Kiss his sanctuary, for we are unworthy of His presence!
Yet, He-HE-dwells within us. He comes to us in such a humble way in Communion. He comes to our sinful bodies and He gives us such dignity and honor. He comes in our bodies and we show him indifference. Wake up to the true presence of God-made Man, coming here into your hearts, sitting as a prisoner in the tabernacle for love of you! And you swim your busy lives away, just as the fish must swim by this rock and that rock.
All that matters are His cares, His work for us. We are so blind. Wake up! This life is but a fleeting moment. We are being tried for the great reward. Come and worship. Bow down before the King. He is mighty and has all the power. We are doing useless tasks and wearing ourselves out. He is the true treasure. Only the things of God are of any account.
Alleluia. Praise Him, the Holiest, in the Heights. Alleluia, Alleluia.

R. He said in church at Mass that, if I look at the exterior of my brothers and size them up, I am judging God the Father's beautiful creation. The person has nothing to do with his skin color, his height, his hair color, his whatever. He was created by God the Father as he is. Jesus died and shed His blood for each and every person. Who are we to decide we don't like what God the Father created?
He said (similar to the talents letter of Oct. 3, 1993) that we have nothing to do with our talents, that they are given by God to do the work He has planned for us. To be envious of our brothers is sinful. The message is so beautiful.
To look at someone and say, "Boy, what a big nose" is to criticize the Father's creation. We are to love God. If we are criticizing his creation, this is not good. He could have given us a nose that would be so big. I didn't have anything to do to get my nose. Who am I to be so proud that mine is better than yours when they were both created by the Father?

Genesis Chapter 3
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.
Revelation 21: 1-8
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.’
I Corinthians 15: 20-28
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. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

In the same way, when you see these things happening: know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
