Jesus speaks: My child
why do you forsake Me
I give you so many gifts and
I love you so very much.
You worry for little details.
You make little problems mountains,
when they are mole hills.
You seek after details involving
your money and yet you
abandon your spiritual life.
That you would focus on the
life hereafter.
Oh My child do you not wish
to be with Me for all eternity
forever and ever and ever?
And some say the prayers
forever, and ever and ever. Amen.
And no sooner has the breath
left the words they spoke
and it seems they have forgotten
what they said.
Some go to Church for only
one hour a week.
Some do not go at all.
For so little time given
"How do you expect to have a relationship
with your God."
Relationships are formed from time
spent together, love in the heart,
willingness to focus on the loved one,
to ponder their ways,
to want that connection with them.
Some do not recognize Me.
Some give Me a little mite
just in case there might be something
to this "God stuff".
"I will dole out my little 45 minutes
a week to you my Savior
and go out and cheat my neighbor
and call myself a Christian."
A man going on a journey
has before his eyes
the destination.
His heart is forever aware
of this vision.
His actions are purposeful
directed toward this end.
Nere does his mind wander,
for this is his focus and his end.
Every action being purposely directed
toward that end,
every desire in his heart
ignited with fire for the finish line.
You are like the little blind men
wandering in uncharted territory.
Your eyes see nothing.
Your heart is not ignited.
The fire in your eyes
is gone.
Oh My little dumb one,
I speak to you this way
to prove a point of your
ignorance, but My voice
filled with such love that
it would melt your heart.
Sing the song Come Holy Spirit.
Pray that your hearts are ignited
with fire that you realize the
direction that a man on a
charted course, that your steps
are steadfast, that your breath
comes in short pants of enthusiasm
from the excitement within your
soul.
Oh stop for no man for My
Words are your truth for
I wish you to write to my
world that their eyes will
be enlightened.
For the dumb man has a life
full of folly, a wanderer is
he, one who has no charted
path, one who breaks a leg
to get to the end of the dead
end street and when he
gets there, goes back the way
he came to find a new dead
end street, where one that is
filled with sick pleasure.
Oh the man has no dimension in
his mind -- not real dimension,
he does not have a chartered
course, he is a vagabond,
a wanderer. The guy who
sees nothing more than the
walls of the bus, his life
flows aimlessly in no direction.
His money to him is his god.
His fame is so important.
He looks for love in all the
wrong places and he misses
My love and I woo him and
he says to Me, "Nay Jesus
Christ, I do not want to love
You, I do not want to give You
my time, my thoughts, and
my heart."
"For I seek the foolish pleasures
of this earth and I want to be
stimulated by them. A day is a
day, a week is a week and I
wander aimlessly in no direction
that involves my spiritual life.
I wake to the sound of birds, but
I really do not hear them and
reflect on the Creator that made them;
I see the blue skies and the trees
and my heart is focused on my
own fame, my acceptance by others,
my love of foolish recognition here
below."
"I want the 'dumb' man to look up to
me."
"And the smart man to 'bow' low to
me."
"I want to be noticed. I want them
to know that I am really something
to talk about."
"And when I get recognition from
others, I want more, I want
more to bow at my feet and
worship me a man. I like to
hear them talk about me as one
who is great."
"I want them to see me walk tall
and for them to say, 'There he is
the great man.' "
"For I had a friend close to me
that died and when I looked in
his coffin, I really didn't look
at all. The reality of his death
I would not let settle in my
soul, for I didn't want to think
it would ever happen to me for
my focus is on the here-below
and breath others used to praise
me makes me happy or so I
think."
Then Jesus says:
Oh My senseless brother why
worry you for the man who praises
you one day and disowns you the
next for he is but an imperfect
soldier in this rat race of this
earth trying to make his way,
he may change as quickly as the
wind that blows or he may
try to be your buddy life long
but your soul was created for
My everlasting love and you
scorn Me your God, your Creator,
your Friend, your Brother, your All.
Your life is temporary here
below. Learn a lesson from the
flowers that died and the trees
that bend to the ground and
wither and fade, some are struck
down dead by lightening.
For I am your God, the Creator,
the one who made you, watches you
like a little animal in a maze
run from one foolish pleasure to
another to be left empty, thirsty,
heart broken and longing for the
taste of My life inside of you
that can fill you and make you
free.
Oh child that you would know
Me, that you would long for Me,
that you would know My gifts are
everlasting, that you would know
that you were created for Me
that you would know these things
you search for are leaving you
empty.
March 8, 2004 message continues
Jesus speaks:
My dear priests, My Heart is
on-fire for My people. I have called
you to My Heart, to My Eucharistic
Heart to taste the pleasures of My
love, to tell My people of My
undaunted love for them -- to show
them through your peace and love
inside that you are a man of
holy cloth, that you have taste, the
joy of the Eucharist and your heart
is burning to tell them of this pleasure.
Oh My beloved priests, how deeply
I love thee and want to lavishly
outpour My love to you. You have
been chosen by Me to reach My
people, oh My priests -- they are so
hungry, I want you to feed them
with My Body and Blood.
Come to My Heart, give yourself
to Me. I am a vat of endless love --
you are searching and I can fill you.
Song: God's Love
March 8, 2004 message continues
Jesus speaks:
Can you only spend a few moments
with Me? You have 24 hours a day.
I help you to know what to do
when you come to be with Me. You
can sort out all the information all
that you have been given from others
more easily and see your answers
more according to God's will.
