John 6: 63

‘It is the spirit that gives life,
the flesh has nothing to offer.
The words I have spoken to you are spirit
and they are life.

      

Matthew 11: 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

 

                Jesus: If a man does not build a house, he has no dwelling —

                Yet you build not for yourselves, but for all you
                    will come in contact with —

                No man lives alone, if he does his heart is united to
                    others or he is sad — for you were created to
                    love God and one another.

                Work for what is above, not what is below —

                Shout cries of joy for the Lord —

                Let your suffering be not in vain —

                You wear a mask, and satan is telling you how to
                    travel —

                Let your face look into the portrait of the One who
                    teaches you truth —

                You fight Me for your own will.

                Your own will leads you in the wrong direction —
                Because of pride and your selfishness, you follow —

                Follow the road I trod —

                I was obedient to My Father to My death on the cross

                You wear My ring as My spouse —

                Your eyes are every where, but on Me and pleasing
                    My Father.

                How can I help you when you fight God's will —

                You are willful and want to dominate.
                Even when it is clear to you of your selfish ways —

                You follow the wrong road - to be in control —

                My ways I make clear to you in your heart —

                I want obedience to My law —

                You write your own law —

                When you sleep at night — you put your willful
                    day to bed on the pillow next to you and
                    dismiss Me to the closet to wait another
                    day - you control —

                Wear clothes of love — wear My ring of peace —
                    Peace comes in doing God's will — you oppose
                    My will for control — Your god is your control —
                    Who can move a concrete wall

                I uprooted the trees, they split at My command —
                    You are hard and unable to move — your control is
                    your god —

                Open your heart to My Heart — let your heart be pure —
                    do not give into jealousy, anger, envy, seeking
                    dominance for dominance sake

                When I called you to My altar — you come not with
                    sweetness, but with an angry agenda —
                    me, me, me, Lord — I come to do my will —
                    not Yours —

 

The Ten Commandments
  1. I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.
  2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
  3. Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
  4. Honor thy father and thy mother.
  5. Thou shalt not kill.
  6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
  7. Thou shalt not steal.
  8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
  9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.
  10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.

     

Matthew 11: 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

 

                    Come and refresh yourselves by living lives of
                peace. There is evil in the murdering of the babies —
                You feel the tension — What do split trees mean —
                division — the tree cannot live when it is split
                down the middle, how can you live a spiritual
                life when you are split with anger, envy, division
                in your heart.

                    I want My parishes, the family, religious communities
                to be strong — united — vibrant and loving —

                    The division in your hearts, your jealousy,
                anger, possessiveness is how your hearts are
                divided

 

   

Tree outside church at China

  

                    When a child of two looks into a mother or father's
                face — they know they are loved, accepted, parents
                who criticized little ones learning about acceptance
                can hurt a little child's self-esteem, trust —

                    The face of the mother and father should be
                that of love, acceptance, as they teach the
                child — It should not be perfection — wanting
                the child to eat perfect, be perfect.

                    Little children are learning important things —
                learning to hold on and let go. People who are
                controlling because they were severely hurt
                may say to themselves "I will never trust
                again." But we were created to love — to live
                in obedience under God. People who have
                control as their god - don't let go — they don't
                want to trust another — they lock up their
                heart like a bricked up wall — spontaneity
                is out of the question — because they have
                to control — so they are never hurt again —
                like a guy with a sore knee — they guard their
                heart and don't let nobody too close —

                    How can such a person be one with God
                and know love — How can such a person be
                one with others in community, in marriage —
                in family.

                    They wear a sign — stay away — don't get
                to close — while their heart cries out from
                the box — walled in — 'I was created to love' —

                    Controlling others because of deep wounds
                is normal to them. In addition to this — seeing
                with impure vision to control — they don't
                see with the eyes of the Father —

                    At age 40 a man can still be looking into
                the face of their dad or mom that constantly
                demeaned them and they think they need
                approval to prove to themselves they are
                okay. They are tense because they never
                healed — they hear the voice of dad say
                "You won't amount to much", "You should
                be ashamed", etc. They have walled up their
                heart for dad's lack of love, selfishness
                or maybe fiendish perfection —

                    Compulsive perfection, correcting a child,
                withholding approval because the parent
                had low self-esteem and was shamed — these
                dysfunctions don't die — somebody to stop
                it has to be "man enough" to say
                "the buck stops here" — I want to heal — I want
                to love — I want to build the Kingdom of God —

                    Do you want to love and be loved — then there
                must be interaction with others — and looking
                into the face of God — knowing God's plan —
                seeing through His eyes — not selfish, tainted,
                eyes of others who taught us imperfect
                ways.

                    We are not perfect.
                    Children mess themselves up.
                    Children are learning.
