A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Jesus speaks: In relationships you are not to be thrown into the "rescuer-dependent" roles. One saves, the other is needy. Every person receives and gives love which should come from great strength rooted in a spousal relationship with Me. Where one rescues, he fails to look, many times, at himself. He focuses on "fixing" others. It keeps the dependent person in a needy role, because the other needs to rescue, so he won’t have to look at himself. There are problems in the Father’s family and every person has to focus on his own imperfections. Parents teach children to assume certain roles. The question becomes why do you work toward more imperfections in your relationships? You must work for oneness with Me so that you will be actively helping to spread My light through your example. The devil works in churches, schools, families, institutions and this causes great loss of precious time. You are responsible for growing in more perfected ways of loving. If you create relationships in which you are "needed" to save another, you better look hard at your own lives. Every person in the reign of the Sacred Heart will come from a place of strength, acting according to the Father’s will. Do you continue weak relationships that cause more dysfunction around you? You must help all to operate from a place of strength rooted in Me.

In this Movement, I have used the skills of every person as the unique child created by the Father.

You are uniquely created by God, the war will be won by strong soldiers fighting the battle. Your strength is in having a personal relationship rooted in Me, so you will say, "…it is no longer I, but Christ living in me…" (Ga 2:20)

Ascension Thursday (May 21, 1998)

Jesus speaks: (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.

My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.

Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.

I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.

God the Father speaks: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.

God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.

Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.

I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).

The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.

The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.

There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.

The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.

I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."

I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.

I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making. I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."

I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know the open door from the vision.

I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.

Jesus speaks: (Ascension Day May 21, 1998)

Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wish to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will, Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. Your have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart.

I am the gateway that leads to Freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God.

Come out of your tombs, I am alive, I am treated as a dead object.

Sing a new song, the dead shall be raised.

They conquered the devil with the Blood of the Lamb.

Pray to the Holy Spirit to come mightily on you.

(end of Ascension Thursday 1998 message)

Note: for the entire message of September 24, 1998, including the message of Ascension Thursday, May 25, 1995, please click here.

Jesus speaks: I ask the pictures of the gathering May 13, 1997, be included here.

Jesus speaks: In the Fourth Mystery of the rosary, My messenger accounted the happenings at Conyers, Georgia, May 13, 1993, when the wind came up and it looked as if the people would be blown off their feet. The sky was darkened with a white rim around the horizon. The message from Mary talked about going deeper and deeper into darkness.

The rain came down as in buckets and with great force and the wind blew.

At the end of the rosary on May 13, 1997 after reference to the Conyers event, a very similar experience happened at Tom's farm. The wind came up with enormous strength and it blew everything over. My statue of My Sacred Heart which I requested be brought to Tom’s farm for the 13^th beginning in October was blown over and the statue of My Mother fell to the ground. She was decapitated, her head turned face up on the ground. She was broken in her Immaculate Heart.

Messenger: I must note here that we went to Tom's farm on October 13, 1996, as requested by Jesus. We continued to meet there on November 13, 1996, December 13, 1996, and January 13, 1997. On February 13, 1997 we met at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.  We met also on March 13, 1997 and April 13, 1997.  On May 13, 1997, the Holy Spirit Center had another engagement scheduled and Jesus told us to meet on Tom's farm.

Jesus speaks: On this day May 13, 1997, the Shepherds of Christ Movement was notified for the third time they were not permitted to operate on the 13ths from My Mother’s House, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

The mission of Fatima is majorly linked to the Shepherds of Christ Movement and the meetings I called on the 13^ths of the months to give messages to the world.

All blockages that I have received in furthering this mission My Mother began at Fatima have held back the great period of peace Mary promised to you at Fatima.

You are surrounded by the enemy on all sides. Your children are falling down dead in the streets. On March 17, 1999, I gave the following message concerning the children dying on the bus.

Excerpt from the March 17, 1999 daily message

Jesus speaks: When your children are poisoned and lying dead in the streets, will you listen?

If a bus falls over with school children, you cry out, "Oh the children died!"

America, My world, your children are dying a spiritual death and you are not crying.

You see only the physical suffering. My children, your children are being murdered in their hearts and souls. This is far worse than a death of the body.

Jesus speaks: In another message Mary tells all that you are all her children. Even 80-year-old men are Mary's children..

I ask you to note the headline on May 10, 1999 in USA Today, concerning a tragedy on Mother’s Day:

"Mother's Day tragedy
23 die as bus full of seniors on casino trip crashes in La."

Your children have been killed on the bus, old and young. You are the Father’s and Mother’s children and you don’t care how many children are spiritually dead.

Your children in schools are dying in their spiritual lives. Your world is full of wounded children of the Father. If they died today they would lose their souls forever.

I call on this May 13, 1999, for you to wake up, America. Mary appears on the building in Florida. And I quote here from Luke, "Lament over Jerusalem", Luke 19:41-44.

As he drew near and came in sight of the city he shed tears over it and said, ‘If you too had only recognised on this day the way to peace! But in fact it is hidden from your eyes! Yes, a time is coming when your enemies will raise fortifications all round you, when they will encircle you and hem you in on every side; they will dash you and the children inside your walls to the ground; they will leave not one stone standing on another within you, because you did not recognise the moment of your visitation.

Jesus speaks: You do not know what makes peace and you have missed the visitation. A century of grace and visits from heaven, from Fatima to Clearwater, Florida, and you cry aloud in utter pain while the ancient serpent devours your young. You are all Our children. Your world is run amuck and you are dropping over dead, but you are holding on to your last piece of dust.

I WORK IN THE ELEMENTS, IN SICKNESS, so that you might see something.

But you are blinded and you will not listen to Me.

I state once again:

MARY'S PEACE PLAN Pray the daily rosary. Consecrate your hearts to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. Observe the First Saturday devotion. Make reparation to Our Hearts.

A message for the Earth from Jesus
January 22, 1998

I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

China, Indiana - Received May 12, 1999 to appear on May 13, 1999

Jesus speaks: You do not appreciate the great gift I have given to you in one another. Look with the eyes of love on your brother. Do not measure their weaknesses and omit their good works. You should look with the eyes of God. Hail the good works of the churchmen, recognize their sinful ways. You are to live in truth, you are to love the sinner, you are to cherish all and be mindful of their Creator and the plan He wishes for them. You are the instrument to draw men into oneness in love. Do not throw away the sulking child, try to understand his heart and love him, evoke from him the God-given talents God wishes him to develop. God does not wish any man to sin or engage in sinful behavior. He wishes men to be impeccably pure. You must tolerate others as they tolerate you. Lead them to a place of strength through My word and the Eucharist.

The day soon is over and many move on to another world. Your days are so quickly over and none have returned to express their heartfelt love when they were buried in their graves.

How passing indeed are the things of the earth, how frail the body. Death is a natural process. See the lilies that grow, soon they die off, but you know they will not last forever. Tell the men the body will decay and rot, as well as all that you hold on to in order to cover up the reality that soon the life of a man ends, always in death. Your attempts to "cover up" the reality does not stop the fact that it happens.

You have "banked" on a lengthy existence here below when in fact children die quickly many times. You do not know the events of tomorrow. My men, look at things in truth, you are born to die, your soul is immortal.

So foolish of you to not focus on your eternal life and to try to preserve the flesh. It withers and dies and is soon consumed by maggots and bugs.

Oh men, My men, look at your grass and fields. Before you is the story of the Creator. Things come into existence and like a summer rain soon give way to a blustery hot day.

You do not see the change, because many times you hold onto a false premise that you can prolong your life here forever. Study the snow and the rain, the ice and the heat of day, all come unannounced and you must accept how the Creator wishes to divvy them out to you. But your own life, you try to control. You try to kid yourselves, thinking somehow you will never die, when in fact I promise no set number of years to anyone. Some are swallowed by death in the womb before they are born. Some live to be 106 years old. Some are here a short while, some a longer while. Look at the beauty of the earth and the trees with their foliage. Look at the wind that sweeps down and destroys farms and villages and the rain that beats crops to the ground to be made slush of. Look at the fires that burn beautiful fir trees and whatever over which you men had no control. And, oh men, one day you wake to a glorious day and the rain comes and floods your basements and you walk knee-deep in its flow aplenty. I am God, I water the earth and I allow it to dry with the scorching sun. I watch you in your silly ways try to control Me and think you will win. You haven’t learned the lesson from the fir trees yet. You learned lessons you made up in your own minds to fit your sinful ways. The lessons you need to learn are by studying the stars and the wind that blows (and I do not mean the astrological studies of some who make the stars their gods). I tell you to watch the field as it blossoms and dies and to recognize death as a natural phenomenon for a corruptible body. I tell you to deal with the reality that your Creator tells you information about Himself and your world and you make up your own story. Oh blind men, do not smite Me. In a second I can wash the tank clean and the debris will be washed away. I give messages for your own good and you persecute My messenger and make the messenger cry. Oh, open up your hearts and your pocketbooks and help Me spread the word I give here. The books have all but been burned by those who will not even hear what I speak. You do not listen with an open heart. You listen with a closed, stubborn mind and get on the bandwagon to join those burning the building before you know what the building is even all about.

Do not spite Me. I Myself appeared over and over again and you ignored Me. What do I do to you now, let YOU SUFFER for the fate is yours and you have chosen to ignore My Mother.

The sign given in Florida is all I wish to give you. The wind will blow and the rains will come. I will continue to let you destroy yourselves by the rubbish within you, poison I tell you. You are poisoning your hearts and souls and hurting your children.

May 13, 1917, Mary Queen of Peace.

YOU MISSED YOUR VISITATION. AMEN!
