Simply say "Jesus"

#378  April 27/15, 10:15am.  St. Theresa’s, before Blessed Sacrament

Kneel and thank Me for this day.

Now let Me speak to your heart.  Is it open and ready to hear My Voice?  Do not let any other voice nag at you and get you down.

If I am speaking to you, I will only bring peace to your body and soul.  Now you might not like the message --- perhaps it is ‘go to confession”, or “talk less, hold your tongue more”,  “do not repeat such and such, avoid gossip.” 

But you see these are all cleansing Words.  These Words may disturb you, but they are to disturb you for your own good.

Now the words of the evil one will take you to feeling sorry for yourself, to bitterness, to meanness, to nastiness, to gossip.  None, I repeat, None of these words will ever bring peace to your body and soul.

Hear My Words.  Beg to hear My Words.  Beg Me to lead you in My Words.  Ask Me to instruct you through My Words.

When you make good choices --- you have heard My Voice.  That is the simple measuring tool.

You yourself know that when you get angry or disappointed, you are not listening to and hearing and abiding by My Words.  So you know right there and then whom you are following --- whom you are letting lead you!!!  Scary, right?

Sure certain times you are going to get angry, it is a natural human reaction.  But are you then determined to stay in, dwell in, bathe in that anger no matter what?

When you get angry that is when the devil is ready to step in, because he knows this is a weakness and suggests that you have every right to stay angry.

But you have a choice and you know it.  You can remain in anger, wallowing in anger or you can run with it to Me and ask Me to show you what to do with it.

Just if you even say My Name “Jesus”, not in anger, but in the midst of your anger.  Say it gently in the midst of your anger.  Say it to get My Attention beseeching Me to help you in this circumstance. 

Make Me your escape route from this anger.

Test it out right now!  “What”, you say, “I am not angry” But maybe just a little set off??  So practice saying My Name “Jesus” gently.

It does work.  It does reduce your blood pressure.

But that is not the reason for doing it, because again it is to satisfy a need of yours!

You want to practice saying “Jesus” for the health and well-being of your dear precious soul.

You want your soul to hear this Word more than any other of the busy words you say daily.

It is the only Word that truly nourishes your soul.

If you say it with the intent of reducing your blood pressure and your bp does not go down, then you will think it is a futile exercise and give up saying My Name “Jesus”. 

But I tell you now in all Truth it is the medicine for your dear precious soul that does not react to any other drug.  Sure it can be dragged down by what we may say and do that is not in accord with the Lord.  But it can only be healed and made healthier daily by My Name “Jesus.”

So keep this medicine handy.  When you feel your soul slipping and tending to be led by the evil one – say My Name – over and over if you must.  And don’t think you have to wait till your soul starts to wander off.  Make it a habit of saying My Name “Jesus” often and more than often.

Your soul is in a race to win the coveted prize of eternity with Our Lord.   So it certainly needs the refreshing word “Jesus” planted in it daily.  See what grows from within us when we plant the seed of Jesus in our soul often.  It can only bring forth eternal sustenance.

We need “Jesus” in our lives.  He is the fullness.  He does not have to hear what we need or want, just say His Name “Jesus”.  It contains ALL.

The less words we use in explanation, the more time and opportunity we have to simply say His Name “Jesus”.
