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.
Messenger: It is essential we lay ourselves bare to Jesus, to write and tell Him our deepest fears.
Jesus speaks: When you do not spend enough time looking deep into your souls, you will suffer.
I ask you to write to Me everyday and try to reveal more to Me about the true self within.
Go deep into your heart and bring up your fears.
Do not focus on others.
The things you mask inside are stumbling blocks that the devil uses to get you majorly off track.
Write about your fears. Quit looking for others to fill you. You must embrace your hidden fears and deal with them.
I will help you.
People in married relationships must tell the truth if they want intimacy and quit wearing a mask so they can work through what is really there.
Quit wearing a mask.
Look at yourself truthfully.
Don't try to fix everyone around you.
What are you afraid of?
Your answer is in yourselves.
You must do this to be more like God.
Luke 2:35
...so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'
Jesus speaks: Look at yourselves truthfully.
People can hide the truth from themselves for years. Masking their fears, blaming others for their faults and trying to change the world.
It is the self that needs to be perfected
You are responsible for yourselves.
Do not look at the plank in your brother's eye when you have one yourself.
In relationships one grows in greater ways of perfection.
All must honestly interact. It isn't that one person is all bad and another all good, all are imperfect.
All of you must seek the truth about yourselves and live to be more likened to God.
Seek the TRUTH.
Every relationship helps you see more the truth.
Relationships help you grow.
What are your fears?
What are your own problems?
Look deep within.
Your relationship with Me will help you to grow to be more perfect.
You Must Want Union With Me (excerpt)
Messenger: Nobody can teach me about the ways of the soul and loving Jesus and God. Only God can reveal such things to me. If I want to be close to Him, I must be as a baby at the breast.
I must be taught and cared for and fed by Him, Who knows things of love in the soul. We all crave this union, but it is only Jesus and God Who can give us what we want. We must come and beg for this from them. This is torment, to want to be so close to Jesus but not be able. I must be totally submissive and surrendering to Him and He, in His time, will reveal Himself to me little by little, if I come and wait with Him. I am like a baby. I must wait to be fed. I must wait for this love. He is in charge of giving me what He wants to. I could not, in my nothingness, take all of Him. I would pass out. I am not ready for it all. I am as a baby. He gives me little bites-that is all I can handle-but I crave it all in my soul. Jesus, give me little bites and teach me how to know You more and more, how to serve You and please You. I know this gnawing will never be satisfied here on earth, but it will be filled to a greater degree if I keep coming to You. You will give me glimpses of Yourself which will overpower me in my earthly form.
It is this craving of the soul that keeps coming back for more and more. Now I understand My unrest. It is for love-deep, deep love of You. I crave it so. As we let go more and more of ourselves we become more and more ready for You. To experience You is overwhelming. Your power would knock us over. It overwhelms us. We can experience You more and more in the Eucharist if we give ourselves over to You and You choose when and how much You give to us. Make me open to You and all focused only on You. My unrest is for love of You. It haunts me day and night and the stalking love I feel is for love of You. I will never get enough. It is such unrest. I cannot play music after Communion. It is distractive for me and everyone there. He wants that for quiet union with Him.
September 23, 1999 - Married Couples - 2nd message
Messenger: In married life and intimate relationships, couples can grow when they are willing to write and really reveal their hidden feelings, fears, etc. Unmasking the true self will reduce the ways Satan can work in our lives.
We cannot blame our insecurities on others. The things inside of us are inside of us. We can talk to others and relate with a significant other and they can help us by relating with us in a different way. But our insecurities are part of us. We must be willing to admit the truth about ourselves and our problems. We mask things to look good and keep falling over the same stumbling blocks because we don't admit the truth.
Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:
Q: What do I feel is my biggest fear about our relationship?
Jesus speaks: Go deep in your heart and pray to see this and answer the question.
September 23, 1999 - 3rd message
Jesus speaks: It is a big problem if I will something to be a certain way and because of jealousy or possessiveness, it is blocked.
You can stop something that needs to happen.
If messages are given and others stop them because of jealousy, My plan is affected.
If some are supposed to work together and another stops it because of jealousy, you affect My plan.
All things must be done according to the Father's will.
You must be careful not to block or manipulate events. If you do it your way against My way, you will suffer. You must DO GOD'S WILL.
You must have personal time with God daily and married couples must spend time communicating. This should be at least 20 minutes a day.
If it is impossible some days, you should make it up as soon as possible.
There must be sufficient intimate time.
