Do You See the Connection?

#240  Friday, Feb. 21/14,  10:45 am., St Theresa’s Chapel, before the Blessed Sacrament

I cry for My People.

I cry out for My People to hear and heed My Word.

Do not stop recording these Words of Mine and sharing them around.

Hasten to the middle of My Sacred Heart to become strengthened and renewed in this ministry.

You do not feel like you have been chastised for writing down My Words and please note that I will guard you so these messages persist and grow.

Do not let anything throw you off course.

Do not look for the agreement from others as a test for the validity of My Words.

I will send you loved ones who will let you know what these Words of Mine have meant to their hearts.

Do not stand in awe of My Words but in love with My Words.  There is so much I want you to know and share, yet these Words of Mine are not meant to make you jump back in awe, but, rather to invite you in to take marvelous refuge in My Sacred Heart.

Drink in these Words of Mine,  cherish them – they are speaking to you in this day and age.  They are not from Christ of 2000 years ago.  They are from Me this very day.

How Blessed you are you who read and let these Words settle in your heart.

Stop the carnage in your heart --  the brokenness, the worry, the bitterness and let My Words become the salve.

My Words only bring peace.  At first they may seem to disturb, yet if they disturb thank Me because it indicates to you that all is not as it should be in your heart.

I want your heart settled and secure in this World --- no matter what is going on around you.

Breathe Me Jesus in.  Breathe Me Jesus out.

But unless you ‘breathe’ Me in you cannot ‘breathe’ Me out.

Take Me into your heart.  Let Me find a welcoming space and place there.

Then you see you will be enabled to ‘breathe’ Me out to the World because your love comes from a heart that houses My Heart.

If anyone speaks ill of this Book to you, remember, you --- any of you who believe in what I am dictating --- you do not need to explain or defend Me.

What you have learnt from this Book so far should lead you to joyfully thank Me that My Words have touched and changed your heart.

Others will find Me in other places.  And that is My Will for them, so it is no responsibility of yours to beat them over the head with the contents of this Book.

We want everyone ‘to feel’ the way we do from having read this Book and that is natural because we want ourselves and others to grow in the knowledge of Christ.

However, I repeat and repeat, thank Me Immensely that these Words of Mine in this Book are speaking to your heart and changing your heart.

And I have also given you a great method of praying for others – perhaps for those whom you feel need to get this message.

Take your soul with their soul into My Sacred Heart and ask for nothing, but joyfully give thanks for the Love I pour over you equally.

Do not ask me to make their hearts understand My Messages in this Book, but just be supremely grateful that you have been moved by My Words to you, to all in this Book.

You are your brothers keeper in that I ask you to bring their soul before Me.  But not to make their soul right in your eyes, but for your soul to see that the ‘right’ that everyone has to know is that they are loved unconditionally and abundantly and equally by Me.

So they may not get this message from reading the Book, but their soul will certainly experience this message when you bring it before Me into My Sacred Heart.

Rejoice I say Rejoice.  You are never at a loss as to ‘what to do.’  Bring your soul and their soul into My Most Sacred Heart and just BE in My Loving Presence.

Most of us humans need concrete things to do when faced with a problem or worry.

You have 2 choices

• one works well for your heart and soul

• the other takes energy and health from your heart and soul.

 You can choose the ‘soul and soul’ prayer or you can choose to busy yourself in seeking to solve it yourself.  Good luck!

One brings you many blessings, and brings many blessings on the other souls, while the other solving-the-puzzle solution only is done to satisfy yourself.  It is not centered on the needs of the other.

So we have gone from My Advice about not worrying if others speak ill of these Writings to the ‘soul and soul’ prayer.

Do you see the connection?

Anyone who may speak ill of this Book or may not be as enthused as you are, heh take your soul and their soul into My Most Sacred Heart and let Me reign My Love down on the both of you.

You are not called upon to defend the Words of Mine in this Book.  You are to be obedient to these Words of Mine which have asked you, recommended to you that you bring your soul and that person’s soul before Me in My Sacred Heart.

That is the obedience I ask of you.

Thus you are able to show Me that these Words of Mine certainly have been accepted by you, believed by you and that you are ready to ‘do’ what I ask of you.

It is you putting your faith in Me into action for Me, in Me.

What is faith without action?  Well here it is plain and simple.

Do this because I have enlightened you as to what to do in all circumstances. 

Go in Peace.  Enjoy this day.  Let your heart rest in the Lord.

Obedience and Grace

#239   Thursday, Feb. 20/14, 10:15am, St.Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Again, it is about obedience. It has nothing to do with what sin you were to confess.  It had everything to do with obedience and not caring to look foolish in anyone’s eyes.  How can we address your pride unless you are given many circumstances to be humbled.

Before, when I have asked you, out of the blue, to go to confession, I have  revealed what sins I wanted you to confess.

But this time I just asked you to go to the priest and tell him I sent you and yet you had nothing to confess having asked Me to tell you. 

So how foolish does it look when you ask a priest, out of the blue, to hear your confession and yet have nothing to confess. I do not say that you are sin free.  I do say that I had not revealed to you anything that you needed to confess.

And did you see the instant Grace and Insight that I gave this priest, who spends time before Me.  He knew instantly what needed to be done and what you needed to hear.

He showed you My Reward for your obedience to Me – even when it looked foolish to you.

It showed you how I bless those who come before Me to adore Me. 

I blessed Father with the Wisdom to know what to do in the circumstance.

Do not try to make excuses that he has probably done this before.  And if he has what does that matter to you.

Today, he answered My Call to serve Me by blessing you --- that is the Fullness of Truth in an instant.

Now go and remain in obedience to My Will for you.

I love you.  And I have shown you how I Love you --- what great consolation.

Come to Me each one of you and let Me Love you.

Coming to Me and sitting before Me sometimes is your choice and I thank you for it.

But, when I ask you to come to Me, in obedience to what I want you to do that is the greatest step to Glory.

Lots to ponder and be grateful for eh?

God Bless each person whom I have personally created.  I love you, you are Mine.  You can deny Me all you want, but I will not deny you.

And note that I will not ask for your obedience in simple easy things that agree with your nature and are feel good things for you to do.

I will ask for your obedience to step out of you into the ALL of Me.

Routine?

#238  Thursday, Feb. 20/14, 8:55am. St. Theresa’s, before Mass

Lord you called.

I want you to be able to respond whenever I call.  Now you have known Me to call you during adoration, at home, and before bed, yet I have not called you before Mass.

I want you to be ever so vigilant that My Voice can come at any time.  I call, you answer.

That is the message.  I call. You answer.

So you must not get stuck in what you may perceive to be ‘a routine’.

I am not ‘routine’!!

I  come and go at My Will, not your supposed idea of when I come and when I don’t.

I come out of the blue.  I want to surprise you.  It would not be an adventure if it became ho hum routine.

I know you looked at the clock to see if you would have enough time to write, however even that you can’t assume to know.  I come when I want, I dictate as long as I want.

Do not try to tie Me down to your schedule.  I cannot be tied down.

(Mass started)

A Chink in your God Armour

#237  Tues. Feb. 18/14, 10am., St. Theresa’s chapel, before the Blessed Sacrament

I called you from doing something you planned to do to do something I want you to do.

Both were good.  However My Invitation holds much more soul merit --- obedience.

Hear My Voice oh My People.  Listen for I have much to share with you. 

Endeavor to become accustomed to asking Me in all circumstances. 

Should I clean the kitchen now, brush my hair, seek something to read, work on my computer?

Now some of these may appear so mundane and even silly, yet I want you to build up the habit of depending on Me for ALL things.

You do not have to ask the question each time necessarily like ‘should I brush my hair?’ but listen to My Urgings, My Directions.

Do not think that you are in charge of some things and I am in charge of others.  Not so.

Be attuned to My Presence in your life at all times, in every instant.

When you surrender your day to Me, you do so willing that I will direct you to do all that will bring Glory to Me.

Seek not to separate us by dividing our roles in your day.

You be in charge of this in my day Lord, and I will be in charge of that in my day.  Almost as if you don’t want to get in My Way, but, even more so, that you don’t want Me to get in your way.

Oh, oh, oh.

When you surrender your day to Me, you allow us to work together in harmony.

I told you that you would be My Hands and My Feet. But you can’t be if you do not give Me charge over your hands and your feet.

When you put your slippers on at home, ask Me to bless them so they will take you where I want you to go.

When you put on your winter boots, ask Me to bless them so they will take you where I want you to go.

Hold out your hands each day to be blessed by Me so they will do what I want, need done in this World.

Offer yourself to Me so I can bring the World to a closer union with Me.

Do not hesitate to come aside and learn how to offer yourself in total surrender.

Even those of you who have been saying this prayer, I beg you to continue to come aside to learn more and more how to surrender.

You all know truly that even though you are saying this prayer, there are many times when your surrender is incomplete.

I don’t tell you this to discourage you, but to challenge you to continue to seek a closer union with Me.

It is what we all want and need and yet we still may want to cling to pieces and parts of ourselves otherwise we feel we are lost, or smothered, or lack initiative.

Don’t let your foolish pride tell you that there are still parts of you worth keeping away from My Love and My Grace.

Do you hear the devil whispering?

Do you hear that he still hopes to find a piece, even a small piece of you that you don’t want to give over to God?

All he needs is a slight chink in your God armour to worm his way in to start to try to rule in your life again.

You noted the other day the reading regarding Solomon, who was so wise, when he got older he fell away from God to worship false gods.

So even the wisest can be brought very low.

That it why I encourage you to seek to know throughout your day anywhere where there may be a chink in your armour.

It is like an examination of conscience.  Yet I encourage you to allow Me to advise you throughout the day if these are parts of you that you have not surrendered yet.

Let Me instruct you ‘at the moment’ otherwise you may feel that list at the end of the day is too long to bother with, and for some it will seem even too big to tackle.

So each day as you say the surrender prayer “O Jesus I surrender myself to you, take care of everything”, do so willingly.

Willing to let Me show you whenever the occasion arises how your surrendering isn’t as full as you could make it.

The surrender prayer and the recent prayer “O God strengthen my soul” go so hand in hand.

Because as you willingly surrender yourself to Me, also willingly ask Me to strengthen your soul, so that any ‘corrections’ I point out to you, you will not take as hurts but as marvelous helps for your soul that you know needs strengthening daily and even moment by moment.

Your strengthened soul will not mind Me pointing out to you where you can even surrender more and more to Me.

We get hurt and feel hopeless when we perceive My ‘Corrections’ for you as a deliberate attack on poor you, and thus you will be inclined to give up surrendering to take a lot of time out to try to be with and feel sorry for your hurt self.

Here is the devil again.  He has found a chink in your God armour – you trying to feel sorry for you and he quickly hastens to fill it with more of ‘you feeling sorry for yourself” medicine that is so deadly poisonous.

Jump out of this slump quickly and into My Sacred Heart.  I will welcome you and nourish you and love you. 

Not to satisfy the hurt and thus let you feel justified in feeling hurt, but rather to love you out of this darkness into My Light.

It is only the Light of My Love that can bring you back from feeling sorry for yourself.

You all know what I mean.  Take a moment right now and think of an instance when you went into the ‘I feel sorry for me” mode.

That is a serious chink in your armour, but, if I do not tell you this, you may let it persist for all day.

That is why I ask you to beg Me to jump in ‘at the moment’ and to reveal to you the lack of Me in your life.  Then you see it does not get to persist for very long and thus the devil does not have all that extra day time to bring in more and more legions.

You must surrender each moment to Me and each moment allow Me to strengthen your soul.

You will know when both are needed because you have asked Me to strengthen your soul.  A strong soul will be more aware of what is happening and what needs more of My Care.

A strong soul will welcome My “Corrections” not as chastisement but as bountiful food for my soul.

So, this new, holy day open your new heart that you have gone and had filled with My Divine Love and relish in the fact that you are more than willing to have Me bring more Graces into your life today than yesterday.

With New Graces comes your realization that there are many more moments in your day that can be filled with more Graces.

Do you see each moment in your day more in need of more Graces?  Count the number of seconds in your day.  Ask Me for all the Graces needed for each of these moments.   I have them ready and willing to pour over you.

Sit quietly in My Love.  Adore Me the Giver of Moment to Moment Graces.

I love each one of you.  I want you to know how much I love each one of you.

Significant to Me!

#236  Thursday, Feb. 13/14, 3:45pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

I have come to Love My People.  I hold none of My Love back from anyone.

Come and bathe in this Love.

Do not hesitate to join Me in the mission of making Me known to the World.

In the very smallest of ways you can do this.  Yet if I call you to do it in a big way, then you will.

Do not ever think that a small way of serving Me gets less credit than a large way.

We think the bigger the deed the more worthwhile we are in Your Eyes, Lord.

How very False.

If I ask you to do something and it seems to you to be small and insignificant why will you not do it?

Do you think that I only work and reach out to the world in Gigantic Ways.

Not much would happen then if we all waited to do the gigantic things.

Whatever I ask you to do, please do it because it is the most important thing for you to do.  Do not measure it against what I have called others to do.  Now many of you will have to admit that you want to be seen and known to do mighty important things.  Again I do not assign you to serve Me for your own self-gratification.  Absolutely NOT.

So whatever I ask you to do ‘in love’ then that is a most important thing for you to do.

It is like wanting to always pick the biggest berry.  We feel the smallest one is quite insignificant.  Yet the smallest one shows you how big a big one is!

Do not look to cast a long shadow while you are here on earth serving Me.

Be most satisfied to be very insignificant to others.  You are never insignificant to Me.

Look to Me and allow Me to hand you the tiniest tasks.

Like you don’t have to be the well-known surgeon who saves lives.  You can be the one mopping up the room after surgery;  the person who changes the lights;  the person who makes the surgical clothing;  the tube that serves to help you breath.

Understand that no role is insignificant if it has been created to serve Me.

Open your heart to small tasks --- and sometimes these are the tasks that give us lots of Graces.  Like cleaning up the kitchen when you would rather be sitting out back with a good book.

You can almost feel the growl forming in your throat when you have to do tasks you don‘t really feel like doing.

Rather murmur a thank you that God has given you the Grace to realize that this is not a thankless task.  He thanks you for doing it with Love rather than a growl.

Did you clean the kitchen today with Love or with frustration?

Love allows Grace to flow to you to strengthen your soul.

Frustration short circuits the flow of Love and thus your soul is not strengthened.

These may seem like silly examples, but if you do not grasp these simple basic examples how will you grasp anything else I tell you about you and how I want you to serve Me.

We all want our name ‘in lights’ with people marveling at us and at our wondrous deeds.

Wondrous Deeds in whose eyes?

You see we want to please our ‘self’ with the approval of others.

We fail to realize that our smallest service for the Lord, done with love, rings the Wondrous Bell throughout eternity.

It always comes down to ‘who are you trying to serve?’  Me or you?

If we ache for acclaim, then you are definitely serving you.

If you ache to serve Me, you definitely will not be acclaimed.

Now most certainly there are those who you can name who have served Me and are ‘acclaimed’ by the World.

But they did not need this acclamation to serve Me, to continue to serve Me.

They did not, do not do it to be acclaimed and thus satisfy their ‘self.’

The acclamation of the World was not their goal.  So they do not consider it acclamation.   

When you are called to serve, what is your goal  --   so that folks will leap up and acclaim you for all the good you  have done and are doing, or was the prime intent to serve only Me?

You cannot have 2 Masters.

So sincerely ask yourself --- what is my goal?  “Lord help me to seek to do your will.” That is your goal.

You can either do My Will --- a call to love unconditionally, OR you can desire and direct your being to doing your will.

One is endeavoring to relinquish all of your free will to Me;  the other is to ignore Me and face life on your own, under your control, or what you perceive to be your will, your control.

Do you see the strength and courage it takes to relinquish your free will to My Will.

It takes a sincere focus for you to determine that you are better off with Jesus walking with you, than you walking with you.

In one case there are 2 of us facing the World;  in the other there is you against the World.

So don’t hesitate to take on the smallest most insignificant tasks – not as a martyr, but seeking to do My Will in the smallest of things --- there I am as much as in the Gigantic of things.

Come, meet with Me in the smallest of small tasks.

Now yes we can do small tasks, but please start to do them with a loving focus. “I want to meet you Jesus in the smallest of small tasks.”

I am there, I am waiting and you will be astonished that the Fullness of Me is in the tiniest of tasks.

Each time you do a tiny task, smile, because you now know that you have met with Me and no one else need ever know!!!  

Strengthen my soul

#235  Monday, Feb. 10. 2014. 9:50am, St. Theresa’s Chapel, before Blessed Sacrament

O God strengthen my soul.  This is a simple prayer you can say anytime, anywhere.

We sometimes get so busy with our prayer words that we forget to be very simple like children.

Do not try to scatter the darkness all at once, but see that each day you bring your soul to Me for further enlightenment.

Thus the prayer “O God strengthen my soul.”

I will know what is in your soul that needs strengthening and by this simple prayer you have given Me permission to act.

We get caught up in “What should I do to make myself a better person?”  It is a good question but you do not have to seek for the answer,

The answer is most simple “O God strengthen my soul.”

We get scattered in our thoughts and good intentions as we seek to serve God.  However, I urge you to be like little children – say this simple prayer and your will will be done by Me.

You cannot strengthen your own soul because it does not come from you.  It was not created by you and thus you do not have the key to care for it as it needs caring. 

You do however have the key to ask the Creator of your soul to care for it.

We don’t think of this small prayer “o God strengthen my soul” as asking.

It sounds more like a command.  Yet what your command represents is your will and wisdom to know that I AM the one to strengthen your soul.

So it is a statement of Trust. 

It is a statement of sincere belief in My Power.

It is a statement that lends itself to submission. 

I am not in control God, You are.

What a privilege and blessing to be able to relinquish your soul to God.

There is nothing that you want to let stand in the way of your soul getting the best care it can ever get.

It may seem to some like a prideful request.  You want to have a strong soul.  Yet, not a strong soul that you can brag about but a strong soul that day in and day out wants to serve the Fullness of your God.

Many of us want to serve God – in our time and our place.  The strength we need for our soul is to serve Him in His Time and His Place.

So the strength we are requesting is not to better our soul but to open our soul to realize and act on the fact that to serve God we need a strong soul.  One that will not waiver at the slightest breeze of anger, upset, hurt.

Sure, sure your soul may react this way in certain situations and that is normal.

But it is how long you let it be in these states of disquiet.  That takes strength to see that these disquieting happenings are dangerous and damaging to a soul that wants to serve God.

So the strength you seek for your soul is to move hastily from these disquieting moments to the center of My Sacred Heart.

Your upsets do not survive in the Fire of My Love.

Yet your soul has to have the strength of character to realize this and choose to jump hastily into My Sacred Heart.

Your soul has to be the one to make these strong decisions otherwise you will wallow in your hurt emotions that sway so easily hither, to, and yon.

Call your strong soul to distinguish for you – to defend you when you let your emotions take flight.

Let the strength of your soul pull your emotions back into His Sacred Heart.

The more you ache and ask for a strong soul the healthier all of your being will be.

The negatives can’t stand up to the scrutiny of a strong soul.

Stop chattering on what you should do, could do to defend your hurt emotions.  Rather gather in your soul and take flight into My Most Sacred Heart.

It takes great strength to do this maneuver because we always seem to want to satisfy our ‘hurt me’ rather than running hastily to the Me who offers Love and Assurance.

We get caught in our emotions because we feel hurt and abandoned.

Yet the only thing you are missing really is knowing and proclaiming you are Loved above and beyond ALL.

If someone puts their arm around you and tells you what a great job you have done – does this hurt you??

It shouldn’t because it conveys to you that you are loved.

Yet if someone speaks sharply, harshly or correctively to you, you feel hurt.  You are not feeling loved, right?

So what you must realize in this circumstance is that you have a choice – you most certainly can stay in the hurt you, or you can choose to take these hurts and hasten into My Most Sacred Heart where only Love abounds.

A strong soul will direct you to the center of My Sacred Heart.

It knows what you are missing and it will escort you to where the missing can be found and received.

We can’t get True Love from this world.  Yet sometimes we think we can and then are  disappointed when it does not come.

So you need a strong soul that will remind you that there is an endless source of Love that you can tap into anytime.

So don’t hesitate to ask your God “O God strengthen my soul.”

It is like doing push-ups or arm curls.  If you don’t do them your arms will not be as strong as they could be when you are called on to pick up something heavy.

So with the soul.  If you do not exercise this prayer “O God strengthen my soul”  you will lack the stamina to ward off negative, destructive emotions.

Exercise this prayer in your life often!

You do not have to wait for the hurt moments to use it.  You have to realize that it is necessary to pray it as often as possible.

Again it is like doing one arm curls when you go to pick up a bag of heavy groceries.   It is not as effective unless you have done many thru the day without a thought of picking up a heavy object. 

You have chosen to do this exercise because you know it will come in handy when you have something heavy to lift.

Thus the same with this prayer!  Say it often to strengthen your soul for when it needs to act on your behalf to take your hurts to a healthier living place.

God Bless, I love you, you are Mine.
