April 2, 2006

Jesus speaks:              A big bump on the head and you see stars.
                                I gave you your Mother in Florida, but even
                                those who I have called lack faith to move
                                ahead as I have directed. You can see how
                                nothing has happened with Our Lady of
                                Clearwater because they would not believe.
                                This angers your God after such a gift was given
                                and the failure to recognize that man
                                destroyed the image of the Virgin Mary to
                                help make reparation to God for the offense.

                                    Today is the anniversary of April 2, 1994 the
                                day of Fr. Carter's first public message. He was
                                faithful — he openly stated that commitment
                                was taking time.

                                    The devil works to try to threaten — to
                                fill with fear, to show lack of commitment,
                                He wants instability. While I give you signs as
                                solid as Mary's face and My Blue Book writings
                                you come to shake the foundation —
                                you may say
                                "there will be no head, I have this power"
                                "there will be no money - follow this with I have this power"
                                "there will no place to go - I have this power."

Messenger:             A person who marries doesn't test the other for
                                power. There is love. They want the commitment.
                                Fr. Carter loved the Movement — Fr. Carter was
                                faithful — A person giving themselves in
                                religious life commits — if they do not
                                they struggle every day with their lack
                                of commitment — they challenge structure —
                                they are unsettled — they are not married
                                to Jesus in this religious commitment —
                                their ring means little and it can
                                easily be removed.

Jesus speaks:              For one in religious life wearing My
                                ring — they are married to Me, they want
                                to serve Me as I desire and give their
                                lives in this service with joy.

                                    Judas betrayed Me. In his heart
                                was betrayal. He lied. He did not show
                                his real face.

                                    A person that lies and has secrets
                                in an intimate relationship is a person
                                on the fence. They are never at peace. They
                                will not surrender.

                                     On the fence a motor runs — should
                                I go this way or the other way and satan tempts
                                them constantly. They can do God's will —
                                they can go the way the devil wants to
                                take them.

                                    The devil works in temptation — a
                                man marries a woman and he may say —
                                is that all there is? His attention to her
                                may be lacking, his heart roving, his
                                desire to make some other conquest —
                                for he will not settle down and watch
                                the garden he planted grow —

                                    His garden is uncared for, he spends
                                little time at home and he is on the
                                fence — he really likes the little wife
                                waiting for him while he has secretive
                                affairs, joys, excitements —

                                    The error is in his lack of commitment
                                to his vocation. He put on the ring and where
                                he was called to go in and make a happy
                                settled life and commit himself — he
                                began his lies while he lived on
                                the fence motor running.

                                    Do you know about commitment? If
                                you have a vocation, you commit, you
                                don't give into satan's temptations to
                                keep you on the fence.

                                    A superior, the pope, the bishop
                                tries to establish stability, a jealous
                                person under — helps to show
                                instability while attacking authority.
                                Where stability could be twice as strong
                                with their support — they challenge
                                and try to get power by making
                                everyone fear.

                                    Look at children in a marriage —
                                mom and dad are one and stable — little
                                babies deal with love and both parents —
                                as the children grow they see this
                                solidness they are not afraid.

                                    Case two — mom and dad fight, one or
                                both will not commit — one or both
                                is not there — there is constant conflict —
                                dad may have the idea she waits while
                                he does whatever he wants or mom may
                                have a job and running around leaving
                                dad with the children.

                                    There is definite instability — children
                                are confused — they can't go to either
                                parent to feel stability —

                                    parents are unsettled, confused,
                                uncommitted — causing disharmony —
                                one parent may be totally living by
                                God's will — very stable — while another
                                plays the game of unpredictability and
                                power —

                                    As one builds up and does God's will
                                the other plays games of control and
                                unpredictability — which tears down —

                                    You say well the one should
                                not put up with the unpredictability —
                                would greater stability for the children
                                occur in a divorce when new children
                                and new spouses enter in.

Messenger:                 What about the commitment to
                                marry for better or worse is that old
                                fashioned — is that what God wants
                                for the short 20 years of the children's
                                life?

Jesus speaks:              You who have all the answers —
                                if they are not rooted in My
                                Word, they are not My answers.
                                I give you My Word and the Commandments.

                                Without structure there is pandemonium.
                                A person who fails to recognize authority
                                can use manipulation to get power —
                                to leave a place unsettled —

                                    They will never be under and they
                                will make havoc to be in control.

                                    A person from a divorced family may
                                live with division in their heart.
                                In dealing with others, 
                                they must seek the unity I desire and
                                not give into past learned ways of
                                dealing with separation.

                                    My Church is one — united
                                in love — working through imperfections —
                                living by My Commandments, My
                                Word in love — living to do the
                                Father's will. Where children are taught
                                division, a strong parent rooted in
                                LOVE and truth, My Word the
                                commandments, teaches mighty lessons.

                                    But if the person thinks they are self-
                                righteous, judging rashly, thinking
                                they are better than others because of
                                their holiness — they have anger already
                                in their heart —

                                    Anger and love do not co-exist in
                                peace. A person truly loving as I am
                                loving is out to promote oneness
                                and love — not judging — making themselves
                                high on the ladder for their own
                                recognition.

                                    A person called to be a leader
                                leads for God not for their own
                                self promotion. They love all — wanting
                                oneness on the earth and give to
                                promote the Kingdom of God
                                according to God's will.

                                Love is the answer.

                                People who live being sneaky to their
                                spouse, to their superior, to Me
                                have a problem.

^{To the Jews who believed in him Jesus said:
If you make my word your home
you will indeed be my disciples;
you will come to know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.}

^{Excerpt from January 5, 1999}

^{Messenger:  On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.}

    ^{I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".}

^{Message of January 5, 1997}

^{Jesus speaks:  Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.}

^{Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.}

^{A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wondering—you lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.}

^{Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothing—I cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.}

John 11: 1-45

There was a man named Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister, Martha, and he was ill. It was the same Mary, the sister of the sick man Lazarus, who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair. The sisters sent this message to Jesus, ‘Lord, the man you love is ill.’ On receiving the message, Jesus said, ‘This sickness will not end in death, but it is for God’s glory so that through it the Son of God may be glorified.’

    Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, yet when he heard that he was ill he stayed where he was for two more days before saying to the disciples, ‘Let us go back to Judaea.’ The disciples said, ‘Rabbi, it is not long since the Jews were trying to stone you; are you going back there again?’ Jesus replied:
   Are there not twelve hours in the day?
   No one who walks in the daytime
      stumbles,
   having the light of this world to see by;
   anyone who walks around at night
      stumbles,
   having no light as a guide.

   He said that and then added, ‘Our friend Lazarus is at rest; I am going to wake him.’ The disciples said to him, ‘Lord, if he is at rest he will be saved.’ Jesus was speaking of the death of Lazarus, but they thought that by ‘rest’ he meant ‘sleep’; so Jesus put it plainly, ‘Lazarus is dead; and for your sake I am glad I was not there because now you will believe. But let us go to him.’ Then Thomas—known as the Twin—said to the other disciples, ‘Let us also go to die with him.’

   On arriving, Jesus found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already. Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went to meet him. Mary remained sitting in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died, but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’ Martha said, ‘I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said:

   I am the resurrection.
   Anyone who believes in me,
      even though that person dies, will live,
   and whoever lives and believes in me
      will never die.
   Do you believe this?

  ‘Yes, Lord,’ she said, ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’

   When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in a low voice, ‘The Master is here and wants to see you.’ Hearing this, Mary got up quickly and went to him. Jesus had not yet come into the village; he was still at the place where Martha had met him. When the Jews who were in the house comforting Mary saw her get up so quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

   Mary went to Jesus, and as soon as she saw him she threw herself at his feet, saying, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ At the sight of her tears, and those of the Jews who had come with her, Jesus was greatly distressed, and with a profound sigh he said, ‘Where have you put him?’ They said, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Jesus wept; and the Jews said, ‘See how much he loved him!’ But there were some who remarked, ‘He opened the eyes of the blind man. Could he not have prevented this man’s death?’ Sighing again, Jesus reached the tomb: it was a cave with a stone to close the opening. Jesus said, ‘Take the stone away.’ Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, ‘Lord, by now he will smell; this is the fourth day since he died.’ Jesus replied, ‘Have I not told you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?’ So they took the stone away. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said:

   Father, I thank you
       for hearing my prayer.
   I myself knew that you hear me always,
   but I speak
   for the sake of all these
      who are standing around me,
   so that they may believe
      it was you who sent me.

   When he had said this, he cried in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’The dead man came out, his feet and hands bound with strips of material, and a cloth over his face. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, let him go free.’

Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him

Jesus speaks:               Know your parents and how they
                                    taught you about love.

                                    Look at your past jealousies
                                    and forgive.

                                Work through hatred in your
                                    heart.

Messenger:             Things that were awful in our lives
                                    can be turned into great helps
                                    to spread God's love when we
                                    work through problems.

                                Many people who have suffered
                                    help others because they
                                    faced the truth —

Jesus speaks:         Being bitter, hateful, competitive,
                                    divided, envious —
                                    doesn't help anybody and
                                    stops My light from flowing

                                    Stops the joy of My love flowing
                                        through your heart and
                                        touching them through
                                        you.

                                Giving love.

                                Spreading oneness.

                                Showing stability.

                                Being self-focused — poor me — is a poison

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Jesus speaks:          Let the joy of Easter fill your soul —
                                    your control tactics, lack of
                                    predictability has continued the
                                    work of satan and hurt others
                                    where you should have been
                                    loving them —

                                    bring peace.

                                You never let go of your own pain —
                                    it is your focus and
                                    so you never really are free —
                                    you are always pressed on —
                                    a little press —
                                    gives you an in, to your erratic
                                        behavior —
                                        control, manipulation, judging
                                    and the devil can walk right on in with
                                    his tricks and you give into him.

Jesus speaks:              Don't you think it's up to you to
                                    commit and give stability
                                    that is needed to others.

                                 Make your vows to each other again
                                    if you are married.

                                 Make your commitment to Me if
                                    you are a religious.

                                 Any lack of truth to your intimate
                                    other can be suspect and
                                    lead to greater division later.

                                    You must place high value on
                                 your lives and work with each
                                 other —

                                        respect and love —

                                        not use any other for a scapegoat
                                            for your pain.

                                  My Movement exists to help renew
                                        the Church and the world.

Jesus speaks:            You came to your marriage bed
                                        to get love — rather than give
                                        it. 

                      ^{_____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____    _____}    

Jesus speaks:              I am your spouse.

                                 I ask you to stop making confusion —
                                    don't manipulate —
                                    laugh with smart remarks —
                                    criticize when I have blessed you so —

                                Take the rock out of your heart —

                                You are filled  with pressure — like
                                    a pressure cooker from not
                                    letting go of your pain —

                                You throw monkeys on somebody's back and
                                    you want them to love you
                                    like a baby with a wet diaper —
                                    when you cry and never, ever
                                    smile and laugh because of your pain.

Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
