Sufferings Will Befall You

God's Blue Book II Cover

January 19, 1994 4:45 a.m.

Jesus:  I write a message for the world. I write this message for you. I want to tell them to pray and not to underestimate what sufferings will befall them all. Pray constantly. You suffer this weather, you see the earthquakes and you still do not comprehend a power greater than yourself. I have all the power. I want men's minds and hearts to turn back to God. I want God first in their lives, but they are so blind. What do they need to shake them to such great power!

    All things are under My control. There is not one thing that happens that I do not allow. You are so comfortable in such evilness. Why are you not on your knees asking, "Lord what is happening?" One suffering will come after another and you will, in your blindness, have to admit to My Might. My mother comes and people pay no heed. Spread these messages. Spread her messages. Do not think of what others think of you. They will know soon enough of their blindness. Do not spend a day without telling someone news about the Blessed Mother and why she comes. Tell all of My might and tell them to pray. Prayer is your weapon in a sick world. Open up the minds of your friends. What will rock these children off their rockers? If the earth moves under them, they still stay steadfast in their ways. So stubborn, indeed. They want to be blind because they do not want to change to the ways of God!

    I am He Who comes to you this way. I am He Who wants you to pray constantly. I am He Who is calling out an alert for a change in your lives. I am He Who wants you to pray, yet you sit. You idle and hold on to such trivial things while the earth moves under your feet! I will rock the heavens. I will tell you of My might. Sit, you idle ones, but you will suffer for not praying. I am God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, and I am ever present in your midst. You are blind and look for idle pursuits.

    You have become so comfortable in this evilness that you do not even sit up and take notice. "Oh, it is okay. I don't like it, but it is okay." Your children are being poisoned by the world, as if someone gives them constant poison, and you worry about your sports and what have you!

    Where in the world do you think you are going? Man thinks he is here to stay. He spends his days making his life "better" he thinks: more things--more things, more money, better bodies, clean breath, better smelling feet--oh, such insane pursuits! Let's make these bodies so perfect! Our lives should reflect the perfect life! Our children run races for glory every day, not even knowing the Ten Commandments! You make every moment a pleasure in itself. Make yourselves happy. Eat, drink, be merry, be beautiful, be smart, be perfect. Forget God--who is He? We have a life going on here and we are going to enjoy every moment! This society is sick, sick, sick. What they are enjoying is destroying their souls. Children are not even aware that I exist and their lives are totally secular. They are so blind. Oh, America, I lament everything you do. It is senseless and without meaning!

    The Son of Man is in your midst and you do not even know who He is. What more can I say. Spread My good news that Jesus is Lord and He is Coming, that you had better turn your lives back to Him now. Mary, My mother, is coming. The sun spins. What do they need? Such attachments to their sick ways! Pray constantly. Tell others about Me. Tell them to read the Bible and amend their ways. Tell them that I am God and that they need to turn their lives back to Me. Tell them to repent and pray. My mercy is great and I am waiting with open arms.

    Pray, America, pray. You will soon know My might if you continue your foolish ways. Every soul who is fixed in Me is My messenger. Go to the highways and byways and tell all: Jesus is Lord and He wants you to amend your lives. He will rock the earth and you will know His might. Time is short. Repent and pray constantly. What do I do to shake you? This earth is very insecure, here today, gone tomorrow. The only things that remain are the things of God.

    I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Hear Me, America. Listen and be attentive! I do not come to give a message for one or two. This is My message for all. You will know My might in big proportions. I will rock you off your rockers. You must turn your lives to God. You are not here for fun and sin and whatever you are doing. Oh, little ones, you miss My tremendous love for you. You have missed all the good I have for you. You are stubborn and willful. You are silly and sick. Pray for your brothers. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Offer everything you do as a prayer and know I never ever leave you! I love you, My child. This message is an act of love!

    I gave Myself that you might live. I am He Who comes to deliver this message to you and you are blind. Look beyond the cup and the drink. This is your miracle, that I am truly present in the Eucharist.

    I am here. Open your eyes and see Me here in your midst. Come to Me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. I am your God and I comfort you on your way. I am waiting for you to come and be in union with Me.

    You, My faithful ones, can no longer be silent. Don't worry. Speak out. Others need you!

Excerpt from August 12, 1999

Messenger:  On the morning of August 12, 1996, I was told to go to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. There in those early morning hours Mary appeared all night. I remember the darkness of the Sorrowful Mother Chapel, black, and I only saw the light of Mary. She appeared in that same glorious light of hers, light like fluorescent, but not like that at all because it is like nothing I have ever seen. I cried out to her and begged the Father to please help me to do what They had asked me, and all of us, to do. I felt I prayed as never before.

    The next morning of the 13th of August Mary appeared again in the same place for several hours in the same exact setting in that white light in the darkened Sorrowful Mother Chapel in the corner. In the late afternoon of the 13th, I would go to the Sorrowful Mother Chapel again.

    The Eucharist was exposed and the whole front of the chapel was covered with a celestial aura and she appeared again. This time the light and the aura were a golden light, almost like a gold glistening veil across the whole front of the chapel in front of the exposed Eucharist and before Mary. I did not want to leave there. I drove to the rosary at Tom's farm, the mikes for the rosary were missing. The younger shepherds had to go to the store to get some mikes. John Weickert was there for the first time on the farm. I asked him to say the 7 Sorrows of Mary. What appeared to me to be a mixed-up situation without the mikes and equipment turned out to be a night of great grace. I didn't know all what was happening....

    Mary spoke in the rosary. She gave the following message at the beginning of the mystery of the Visitation.

Mary had been rather silent in the rosaries for much of the year since about February, except for a rosary she delivered April 25, 1996, for the youth at a Junior Shepherds of Christ Meeting.

It was a gift when Mary spoke that evening August 13, 1996, (she would deliver Mary's Message of August 27, 1996, two weeks later on Tom's farm.

Mary's Message is the message she wishes circulated with her image in Florida).

The message that follows is the message Mary delivered August 13, 1996 on the farm after some silence in the rosary. Very soon John Weickert became our President.
   

Excerpt from August 13, 1996 - The Visitation

Mary speaks:  My dear children, on the 13th of this month I come to you to deliver this message. I have not given to you this message before. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to come to my spiritual womb, to take refuge from the terrors of the night. In my womb, I will hold you close to me and protect you from all the terrors in your life. Do not give in to Satan. Satan is a roaring lion, prowling this earth, attempting to catch you in his snare. You must not surrender. You must give your heart to me and to the Heart of my Son. Please, my little children, come to me and I will care for you. I am your Mother. I am caring for you with the greatest motherly love. You do not know how I want to mother you and to love you. You are as little children, afraid and wounded. I will heal your wounds. I will comfort you in your fear. I am the Mother of greatest love and I love you, my little children. I will take you to the Heart of my Son, Jesus. This is a special message that I deliver for you this evening. May you hold this message in your heart, and may you come to my heart at every moment and find refuge from the terrors of the night.

Messenger: The 10th meditation of the mystery, The Finding in the Temple:

10. Jesus speaks: Will you go out to the world and tell them that I am truly present and that I am waiting for them, or will you squander this knowledge and keep it to yourself? You are My apostles that I am sending into the world to spread My love. I ask you to please circulate the second Blue Book and to tell all that I am God and I am waiting for them in church.

(Messenger: At the very end of the rosary Jesus gave the following messages:)

Jesus speaks:  How I suffered the hours of agony in the garden for all the hours that I would spend in the tabernacle and would be forgotten and ignored. I am waiting to give you great gifts. If you come to Me, I will outpour My gifts to you. I want you to love Me. I want you to love Me and to tell others how I love them and want to be loved by them. This is My message in the rosary. I love you. I love all souls, and I want to be loved by you and by all souls. I am Jesus. Will you love Me? Will you tell Me all through the day how you love Me? Will you delight My Heart and give Me your love? At every moment I am waiting for you to talk to Me, to be united to Me that I will live in you, love in you, and touch others around you, for as you visit with one another, you are Christ to one another, and I live in your heart, and I live in this world in you. Will you love Me?

Jesus speaks:  My dear, sweet, loving child. I am calling you to the Heart of My Mother. It is there that the Holy Spirit will sanctify you, that you will be molded more and more into My image. It is there that you will be protected. Come to the Heart of My Mother, and the Holy Spirit will make you holy. As you dwell in Our Hearts, you will become more holy. You will be loving in this world, for you will be saturated with My life and with My love. You cannot do this on your own. You must realize that you are totally dependent upon Me to love and to be Christ-like. You must pray for the grace, for I will give you this grace if you pray fervently. It is by grace that you will change. The hearts of many will be changed by My grace. The more you try to control and to change others, you will see many times that you fail. You must come to Me and let Me work in you. Pray for the grace. Unite all of your activities to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass so that you help obtain grace for others. Come and dwell in Our Hearts, for you will be safe from the terrors of the night. You will be filled with My life and with My love, and you will carry the message of this love into the world. You are saturated with grace when you dwell in My Heart. Realize, realize your dependency on Me. Do not think that you can do this alone. You need My grace. In one moment I can give a grace that would change this world. Through your good acts, through your love, moment by moment doing the Father's will with love, grace is released on this earth. Come and be one in Our Hearts and unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and great grace will be released on this earth, and the fire of My love will spread across this earth and many hearts will fervently love Me and be taken to heaven because of the work that you are doing. Souls are at stake. Every moment is urgent. The work that you do this day will help your brothers to get to heaven. You must not give up or let up or give in to the tauntings of Satan to stop you. I love you. I love you. Come to My Heart, and I will bathe you in this love.

Excerpt from October 18, 2001

Messenger:         Mary had appeared all night to me August 12, 1996
                                in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel at the
                                Holy Spirit Center and I had laid on 
                                the floor and begged God the Father 
                                for help. Mary appeared in the early morning
                                August 13, 1996 at the same place
                                and then August 13, 1996 before I went
                                to Tom's farm for the evening Shepherds 
                                of Christ meeting, the whole front of the
                                chapel was veiled with a golden veil-

                            Jesus was exposed in the Eucharist and Mary appeared....

                            I remember receiving Mary's message August 27, 1996.
                                I sat on my chair on Tom's farm, it was dark,
                                    the emotion Mary gave to me swelled
                                    up inside of me and I delivered the
                                    message as she spoke through me.

     

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the
Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

October 18, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         It was an answer to the prayers prayed on
                                August 12, 1996.
                            On August 13, 1996 during the prayers someone
                                saw a blue light over John Weickert's
                                head, he became the president of the Shepherds of
                                Christ Movement the next week.

                            Two people saw St. Michael coming out 
                                of the River at Tom's farm as
                                we prayed.

    

     

October 18, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         The message given that Mary did not
                                appear as she once appeared was
                                spoken of by Father Carter February 13, 1997.
                                Mary appeared on the window in rainbow
                                color on December 17, 1996, the same day the
                                Red Rosary book was released.

                            After daily prayer at Mass by Fr. Carter, this
                                Red Rosary book finally was published
                                December 17, 1996.
                               He knew the importance of it and he prayed
                                    everyday for this.

                                The day it was released Mary appeared.
