REVIEW -- #71 from Dec. 24, 2012

I know it is not easy for you to find time to write and that is only natural.  

But I have given you this time and look forward to sharing it with you.

Quiet your heart.  Do not go a word further than what I dictate.  Do not try to guess My Message.  Just be open – surrender your heart, hear the Words the World needs to hear.

Write only what I say – not what you think I should say.  Keep still.  Keep quiet, keep attentive.

I want to share this with all of you.  Open your hearts to hear and receive and take in this message.  

It will disturb some – and that is ok.  It will not fluster others and that is ok.

But your heart is aching to hear it and so it shall be said.

Guard your tongue.  Speak less and listen to My Words more.  Take heed of all that is said from My Heart to yours.  

Do not let a Word fall short of entering your heart.  

Still your thoughts.  You are racing ahead anticipating My Words.  Stop, quiet yourself.  Tell Me you will obediently wait on My next Word and the next and the next.

Listen with an obedient heart.  Let go of every trouble – give each one to Me.

Stop now, if need be, and tell Me what trouble is on your heart.  Give it over to Me and then you will be ready to hear these Words of Mine.  

Thank you.  Now still yourself and listen.

These Words have never been shared before.  They come from the Father’s Heart to Mine to yours.  He wants to speak of peace – not peace on earth – but peace that only comes from knowing Him, loving Him and being attentive to All His Creation.  

Peace that abides in each person’s heart – that cannot be ripped out by calamity or strife.  Peace that goes beyond earthly concept of peace.  

Peace that is not a riddle yet hard to grasp.  

Peace that breaks bonds and frees those in fetters.

Peace that does not respond to healing.

Peace that drags you up rather than drags you down.

Peace that sings from on high, yet peace that abides within.  

It can’t be ‘out there’ and be peace.  It has to be internalized.

It breaks fetters.

It shakes individuals to the core.

It breaks open wounds that have been pus-filled for ages due to a disgruntled heart.

Peace that begs to be given freedom to run your life – to bring you to such a state of Grace that you will no longer ache for this or that earthly thing.

Peace that jumps up and looks you in the face and challenges you to put it on, to take it in, to make it part of you like bread and butter.  

Peace that escapes from your heart willingly and joyfully landing on others because it is too good not to share.  

Peace that abounds in heaps and piles in your heart – that the more you give away, the more you get.

Peace that can stop a heart from melting.

Peace that can support a heart in need.  

Peace that wants to fill all the hard parts of your heart.  To break open hardened hearts and reveal the pain that has kept that heart a prisoner.  

Ache for such peace.  Ask Me for such peace.  Each time you come aside and sit with Me ask for such peace.

It will be gradual at first, but it will change you so dramatically that your mirror will not recognize you.  

What do you see now when you look in the mirror?  Well, be prepared to see something new.  This peace will make you worry less about your wrinkles – does this sound silly?  But it is not  --  right?

If we are at peace, we do not concern ourselves with our facial wrinkles.

So there is your measuring stick.  When you look at yourself in the mirror, listen for your comments --  too fat, too thin, bruised, thinning hair, etc. 

When the mirror shows you these things you Are Not At Peace.  Or I should say, when you do not like what you see in the mirror, you Are Not At Peace.

This sounds like such a foolish thing to talk about, but it is not.

We are always looking for World Peace when we have not even found peace in our own hearts and souls.

We don’t want to think that this is peace that we should seek and want to have --  it seems so ridiculous.  But I assure you it is not.  And for those of you who want to follow My Will I assure you it is an important task for you to consider.  

Each time the mirror shows you things that unsettle you, give them to Me.  Again this sounds too silly, but if you wish to find the Peace I offer, you will have to be willing to do this. 

We always tend to start with peace by trying to bring peace into our family or our group.  And that is so futile.  If you are not peaceful with you, in you, then it is always like riding with a burr in your saddle.

There is always this little nagging thing that doesn’t allow your heart to be settled and at peace.

So surrender all the burrs, nagging little things, itsy bitsy bothers that you see in the mirror about yourself.

It has to start with the minute things that we tend to overlook because we are trying to fix the bigger picture.

But I tell you, start with the tiniest of tiny things.  Don’t go looking in the mirror incessantly looking to find them – that is not the point. 

The point is that when you do see these things and your heart is not happy with them – Give Them to Me.  I don’t care how many times you have to do this – many, many times.

But don’t just leave them there hanging as a bother to you – give them to Me.  

I am not saying that I will take your weight off or give you more hair.  I want to take these cares out of your heart to allow My Peace to settle there.

What a great challenge, eh?  You no longer have to strive to bring peace ‘out there’.  You first must dare – with Grace – to bring Peace within starting with what seems to be a foolish exercise – but it is not, I assure you.

So take a chance!  Come aside and sit with Me and bring your itsy bitsy bothers to Me and let’s see Peace begin to abide deep in the recesses of your heart.  

Come aside.  I want ALL of you, and these itsy bitsy bothers are part of you that you may not have realized I want you to give Me too.  

Throw your burdens on Me.

REVIEW -- #70 from Dec. 22, 2012

 #70     Dec. 22, 2012, Sat. Muscat, 2:30pm

You have found some quiet time.

So come aside and listen to My Voice.

Do you feel the need to hear from Me?  Do you feel disconnected from your prayer life?  But you know you are not.

I am with you constantly and have seen the times you thought to say ‘such and such’ yet held your tongue listening to My Advice on what did not need to be said.  

Keep listening and even more so remain obedient when I tell you not to say it.  You can most definitely listen and hear My Voice, yet not all the time do you remain obedient to My suggestion not to talk.  

Some people have asked you how do you hear My Voice.  

I speak to all people.  Some are not used to hearing and thus do not put it down to it being My Voice.  

Yet if you make a good choice it is usually on My prompting – so you will know you are being obedient.  

When your choices are not good – you will know you acted on your own advice.

Now let Me clarify.  

If you choose to go on a trip, vacation, this is not a bad choice or a good choice, it is just a decision.  Otherwise if something bad happens on the trip, someone will point out that perhaps it was not a good choice. 

Yet good things and bad things are happening all around us every day and we may not have any control over these either way – they are out of our hands.

However, you know when good choices and bad choices present themselves over which you have control.  And these are the ones I ask you to be attentive to.

You know, without My explanation, what is right and what is wrong.  

Throw out a few ideas to yourself as you read this and right away you will determine which are right and which are wrong.  And be sure you don’t make an excuse for choosing bad over good.

Such as “well that person is a mean person anyway” or “it really isn’t gossip because lots of people know about it already.”

Perhaps, I asked them not to say it either – not even perhaps, anyone who knows Me knows I do not ask for gossip ever.  

Yet many make excuses because they want to be the first with juicy news, or they comment that they may be sharing gossip without the slightest reference to the fact that they are not asked by Me to say such things. 

Do we count this as sin?  Do we realize that this is a weakness which we nurture and nourish by not avoiding it and thus do not do good service to our dear God?

How often do we reason that bad choices really are not really, really bad?  

Do we credit any good to our bad choices?

Do they bring us strength and fortitude?  Yes?  

I have heard said we can all learn from our mistakes – can we?   

Are we willing to cast aside those bad choices and intentionally endeavour to avoid them?  or are we willing to use the phrase “too late to change now”, or some such expression.  

If you are unsure of your choices – if this or that is right or wrong, stop reading right now and bring them to Me and ask Me to clarify them for you.  

Do not interfere or interrupt or add any of your own suggestions. Just sit and listen to the Wisdom that covers ALL.

Dare to sit and hear My pronouncements on what you bring to Me.

In the majority of cases, you already know what is right or wrong don’t you?  and perhaps are afraid to bring them to Me face to face because then you will feel more obliged to change and hand over to Me those things that are not good choices.  And if you do, can you come back and ask to take them back?  hmmmm

So let’s look at gossip.  What goal do you wish to attain by using gossip?  

It has to be an earthly satisfaction because nothing in heaven will reward such chatter.

What good will it attain for the person about whom you are talking?  

Please Note:  complimenting someone is never gossip unless you tag on the line that runs them down.  

For example: ‘He is a really great dancer but it is too bad he is cheating on his wife.’

When did the compliment end and the gossip begin?  You know right away don’t you?

So don’t hesitate, as you examine your conscience daily, to see where your compliments ended and your gossip began.  

Just try out paying someone a compliment, not even necessarily to their face, and stopping there.

You will find that you don’t need to use as many words because what you will say is sincere and to the point. “He is a good painter.” 

Sometimes you will soon note, as you begin to listen more and more to My Words, you will discern not even to bring up a person’s name because your guide (HS) tells you that even bringing up the person’s name will leave open an opportunity to say something that does not compliment the individual.  

How many times have you run down My priests?  I ask you most sincerely – how many times?

I do not imply that they are the only ones who should be respected.  Yet I know that you often do not hold them in any regard, least of all high regard.  

Instead of running them down, stop and if you are speaking about them to anyone, ask them to share a prayer with you about this particular priest, asking Me to bless this priest abundantly and to remove any uncomplimentary thoughts or words that you have thought or said.  

Ask Me to guard your thoughts.  Ask Me to guard your words.  Please I am only too willing to help you stay on the straight and narrow.
