Title: POWER AND TRUTH - received during 6:20 a.m. prayer service
Messenger: Even though He was crucified, beaten by men, ridiculed, He was the King victorious.
Reference: Matthew 27:11-31
Mark 15: 1-5
Luke 23: 2-4
John 18:33, 18:36-40.
John 19:10-11
John 19:10
Pilate then said to him, 'Are you refusing to speak to me? Surely you know I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?'
Messenger: Pilate said he had the power to crucify Jesus.
John 19:11
Jesus replied, 'You would have no power over me at all if it had not been given you from above; that is why the man who handed me over to you has the greater guilt.'
John 18:36-38
Jesus replied, 'Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.' Pilate said, 'So, then you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.' 'Truth?' said Pilate. 'What is that?' And so saying he went out again to the Jews and said, 'I find no case against him.'
John 19:1-3
Pilate then had Jesus taken away and scourged; and after this, the soldiers twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on his head and dressed him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to him and saying, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' and slapping him in the face.
Messenger: POWER -- JESUS WAS HANDED OVER.
"MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD."
John 19:11
Jesus replied, 'You would have no power over me at all if it had not been given you from above...'
Jesus speaks: POWER - POWER - POWER.
I am Jesus and I speak of Power. You have adored your images, you have lined the walls of your homes and your world with false images. I am ridiculed openly by your media, your plays, your daily conversation.
Today I am crowned with thorns, I am beaten and scourged.
You handed over "your King" the Almighty God to be scourged. In your dwellings you make light of the messages you teach your young.
Once again today My Mother and I are ignored.
The power you have has been given you from above, but you have made Satan your king. You have crowned Me with thorns, whipped Me and hated Me.
"Oh", you say, "He (meaning Jesus) belongs in the Church, but not in the hearts." You have driven Me from your hearts. Look how you have treated Me. You have not recognized Me as the King of the earth. Your other gods are your kings.
I came into the world, but I was rejected by My own that I came to save.
Today I am in the world, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament and I am ignored and mistreated.
And you ask, "Oh God, why won't you rescue us from the snares of the devil?"
My men, I have warned and in the night, in the good soil, the devil came and sowed weeds. The time of the harvest is at hand. I will come, the Divine Reaper, and separate the sheep from the goats. I have warned.
Those who know Me hear My voice and they follow Me.
John 18:37-38
Pilate said, 'So, then you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.' 'Truth?' said Pilate. 'What is that?' And so saying he went out again to the Jews and said, 'I find no case against him.'
John 14:6
Jesus said:
I am the Way; I am Truth and Life.
No one can come to the Father
except through me.
Jesus speaks: I am truth!
John 16:7-15
Still, I am telling you the truth:
it is for your own good that I am going,
because unless I go,
the Paraclete will not come to you;
but if I go,
I will send him to you.
And when he comes,
he will show the world how wrong it was,
about sin,
and about who was in the right,
and about judgement:
about sin:
in that they refuse to believe in me;
about who was in the right:
in that I am going to the Father
and you will see me no more;
about judgement:
in that the prince of this world
is already condemned.
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
John 16:13
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
Jesus speaks: I am unveiling the Scriptures and you do not know the gift I have given in these writings.
The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Jesus speaks: And I will send My witnesses into the world and you will condemn them and send them far from you.
Because you are not like Me, what I said is repelling to you and you send them away.
And I speak clearly, I am the Good Shepherd, Chief Shepherd of the Flock. I speak here and I am ignored.
My Father has sent His word to you from the Apostles Manual.
January 18, 1997, Father's message Apostles' Manual, pp. 48-51
God the Father: My Dear Children,
I am the Father. My plan is unfolding through you, My beloved priest, Fr. Carter, and Rita and the core group in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I tell you all to read the accounts concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God.
Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war did not change the hearts of many evil men.
I warn you through My beloved daughter, Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the Mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is a gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you.
You do not make reparation to her Immaculate Heart; you continue to offend her. I will not tolerate the deeds of evil men any longer.
My plan will unfold. Any disobedience to these messages given by Me, My Son, or your Mother Mary will cause Me great displeasure.
I am the Father, the Almighty God, the Alpha, the Omega; you are a sinful people, a chosen race sinning against a loving God.
I am angered at your ways for they are not My ways, you have run amuck, you have offended your God, you have disobeyed your Mother and My beloved Son Who died to save you.
I will act on all who continue in such sin. The sheep will be separated from the goats; the goats will receive punishment for their deed. Heaven and earth will kiss, there will be love in all hearts, justice will prevail and My children will be children of light, children that obey as I intended from the beginning.
Oh indeed My sweet messenger, I look to the earth and see the darkness, I see the disobedience of men against their Mother. I know the deeds committed and the evil in the hearts of so many. Justice will prevail and I will wipe out the earth. Only the children of light will remain, those who have given their hearts to their Mother Mary.
Do you think I send your Mother Mary as a messenger to be disobeyed by willful children? What do you think about at night, the cat, the dog, the fish? You don't know love. You don't love God or one another. This is My command to you, to love. You are a sinful, willful race, and the devil will vanish from the hearts of the children of light for they will be under the protection of her Immaculate Heart, the other children will be wiped off the face of the earth.
Disobey My messenger, ignore your Mother, ignore the Son in these messages. Ignore My Son Who died for you.
Oh you sinful people filled with pride and disobedience, I give you the directions here to turn your hearts to love.
My Son has revealed Himself as never before in history into His tremendous love for men and you treat Our gift with such indifference.
I am angered at the lack of support to spread the messages of My Son's love for all.
You worry for funds, worry more, I am God the Father, the Almighty God. You disobeyed Mary, you disobeyed Jesus, now you will disobey Me?
You must obey My directions, the directions given through My Son, Jesus for the unfolding of the Father's plan.
No longer will I wait while willful men check and deliberate and disobey.
My plan will unfold through the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I am talking through these messages given by My Son and Mary to tell you how to accomplish this task of carrying out My plan.
You must obey. The directions are given in these messages to spread the fire of God's love across this earth, to renew the Church and the world.
Because of willful men these messages have been held in check.
I am God, the maker of all things. You have made money your god. I want obedience, the funds will come when you obey all of the directions I have given to you.
Anyone who interferes with these messages will be removed.
These are the messages I give to the world. Fr. Carter's newsletter will teach the priests, all they need to know to be holy, loving priests.
Many priests are not loving, they are cold in their hearts. I will instruct the clergy through the newsletter.
My Son is the Chief Priest and Teacher. He has taught the world the secrets of His Heart through the writings of Fr. Carter and Rita, to go to men to check the value of these writings displeases Me.
You must have faith, you must study the entire revelations given here. You are not valuing My great gift to you.
I am the power, I am God, to the ends of the earth, I will be with you. My plan will unfold. You must think big, not on a human level. You must come to Me.
Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I am telling you to circulate the tape of January 13 (1997) as soon as possible. This tape must be released to the world. It is the message to go with the apparition on the building in Florida.
You must make every connection with Mary's message given December 12 (1996) and the messages given by Mary with the apparition of her on the building in Florida.
Time is very short and My patience is very thin. I will strike the earth and the evil men will scatter and there will be a reign of peace where men will love God as I intended. The evil men will be chastised for I sent your Mother to warn you and you disobeyed. I gave My Son as a sacrifice and you treated Him with indifference. I am angry at the creatures on this earth. I will lessen the chastisement if you make reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Oh willful children, you disobey your Mother, you are unloving and willful and your ways are evil. You are a sinful race.
I am sending water, rain to quench your thirst, My beloved children of light; I am sending fire to burn the fields for the sinful children, they will suffer drought and will fall to the ground dead, they will know fire, they will know the wrath of God. For I speak and I am ignored.
I am using the Shepherds of Christ Movement to majorly carry out the plan begun at Fatima. Every day lost is a lost day. I give to you Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as your directions to help the plan unfold. Circulate these rosaries to all chapters and stress their importance.
The tape of January 13 (1997) is important to the world. The tape must be circulated with the apparition in Florida and the messages typed and put on the Internet with the rest of the messages I have given. The connection must be made between the apparition and the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
Satan will attack you strongly, he will create division and give messages through other visionaries to get you off course. You must obey My directions given in these messages to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message.
I will weed out anyone interfering with My plan.
I will tell you when you have deviated from My plan, do not taunt My messenger, this displeases Me. Read the messages for direction and obey them.
The directions given are strong to correct a sick world. You must quit focusing on the messenger and obey Me.
I am the Father, these are My messages to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
You think of money and miss the gift given. You are men bolted to the earth. You must obey Me. I have all the power.
Genesis 1:28
God blessed them, saying to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.'
Psalm 62:12
to you, Lord, faithful love;
and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
Jesus speaks: I quote from John 19:11.
John 19:11
Jesus replied, 'You would have no power over me at all if it had not been given you from above;...
Jesus speaks: You have desecrated My churches, swept them clean. You have put insurance companies where once was the spot of My tabernacle.
You do not even see the evil serpent planting the weeds in the night. You have turned Sunday into fun day for pleasure or a day to make the almighty dollar your god.
You have run amuck and you persecute the messengers that deliver the messages, for you will not change, and you fail to see how far you have wandered from the truth.
You are in a stupor. I am God. I am to be honored on My throne in My churches, but you who come run in and out and ignore the King of Glory.
Today, I receive a crown of thorns, a battered Body, a cross which is laden with your sins.
Let your children carry a white banner, not a cross laden with their sins and yours. They come home with their backpacks filled with debris and hearts sown with the seeds from the evil one.
My word is changed, My Commandments disobeyed, and men lie to themselves by telling themselves they can adapt My word to their own tainted ideas of truth.
Truth is found in Me.
Truth is revealed in My word.
The seeds of truth are planted in open hearts thirsty for My word.
The devil is choking off the little seeds that filter through with gigantic weeds and I will allow it.
Your world is a product of your hearts. The lack of sensitivity is that of which Matthew speaks.
Matthew 24:12
'...love in most people will grow cold;'
Matthew 24:36-44
But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father alone.
Be on the alert
'As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when the Son of man comes. For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept them all away. This is what it will be like when the Son of man comes. Then of two men in the fields, one is taken, one left; of two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, one left.
'So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this, that if the house-holder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house. Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Reference: Chapter 24 of Matthew.
Jesus speaks: I planted the seed and the evil one came and tore it away from many hearts.
My men, you will suffer for blocking the word I speak here.
John 19:11
Jesus replied, 'You would have no power over me at all if it had not been given you from above; that is why the man who handed me over to you has the greater guilt.
Jesus speaks: There is but one truth and it is found in Me.
Matthew 24:14
'This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world as evidence to the nations. And then the end will come.'
Matthew 24:35
Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Matthew 23:37-39
Jerusalem admonished'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often have I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you refused! Look! Your house will be deserted, for, I promise, you shall not see me any more until you are saying:
Blessed is he
who is coming in the name of the Lord!
Jesus speaks: Read Verse 39 again.
"Blessed is he
who is coming in the name of the Lord!"
Blessed is he who comes in My name, who acts in My name. They will hand you over for speaking in My name, they will throw you from the holy places. They will hate you and want to harm you, and you will cry for relief.
"Blessed is he who comes in My name."
I am God. Sing the Holy, Holy, Holy, from your heart. Let the heavens shake with the acclaim,
"Blessed is he who comes in My name."
My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me.
I speak here to you of the end times and the times of tribulation.
There will be a time of great peace and I will reign. My Gospel will be preached. I will separate the sheep from the goats.
My Gospel will be proclaimed.
Many of my earth are enslaved by the evil one. You have given away your power to him.
I gave you the power to change hearts and lead them to My Kingdom.
You worshipped false gods, you carried a molten calf into your tents.
Spread the consecration, for I want to be King of all hearts.
I hung on the throne you gave Me. I died on that tree to bring you life, that ghastly throne you made for the King of the Kingdom.
Is it so different today when I come to open your eyes to My love and you smite Me?
You have raised your heel above Me.
John 14:15-31
If you love me
you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete
to be with you for ever,
the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept
since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him,
because he is with you, he is in you.
I shall not leave you orphans;
I shall come to you.
In a short time
the world will no longer see me;
but you will see that I live
and you also will live.
On that day
you will know that I am in my Father
and you in me and I in you.
Whoever holds to my commandments
and keeps them
is the one who loves me;
and whoever loves me
will be loved by my Father,
and I shall love him
and reveal myself to him.'Judas--not Judas Iscariot--said to him, 'Lord what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we shall come to him
and make a home in him.
Anyone who does not love me
does not keep my words.
And the word that you hear
is not my own:
it is the word of the Father who sent me.
I have said these things to you
while still with you;
but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all I have said to you.
Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you,
a peace which the world cannot give,
this is my gift to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
or afraid.
You heard me say:
I am going away and shall return.
If you loved me you would be glad
that I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you this now,
before it happens,
so that when it does happen
you may believe.
I shall not talk to you much longer,
because the prince of this world
is on his way.
He has no power over me,
but the world must recognise
that I love the Father
and that I act
just as the Father commanded.
Come now, let us go.
John 14:30
...He has no power over me,
Jesus speaks: The evil one has no power over Me.
1 Corinthians 15:21-28
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.
Jesus speaks: All authority will be under My feet. All power comes from God. He who gives his power to the evil one is enslaved to the devil, but the devil has no power over Me.
1 Corinthians 15:54-58
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, my dear brothers, keep firm and immovable, always abounding in energy for the Lord's work, being sure that in the Lord none of your labours is wasted.
Revelation 22:1-5
Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.
The curse of destruction will be abolished. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city; his servants will worship him, they will see him face to face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. And night will be abolished; they will not need lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will be shining on them. They will reign for ever and ever.
Jesus speaks: "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord". All power is under Him.
Messenger: Truth is in Him.
There is one truth, one way and one life.
It is life in rooted in Him.
Jesus speaks: He says Revelation 22:13.
Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
1 John 1:1-4
The Incarnate Word and sharing with the Father and the SonSomething which has existed
since the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our own eyes,
which we have watched
and touched with our own hands,
the Word of life--
this is our theme.
That life was made visible;
we saw it and are giving our testimony,
declaring to you the eternal life,
which was present to the Father
and has been revealed to us.
We are declaring to you
what we have seen and heard,
so that you too may share our life.
Our life is shared with the Father
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
We are writing this to you
so that our joy may be complete.
