Well now.....we shall continue with the theme of words heard and how well you interpret them. Many words are heard. Many words are spoken. Some are pleasant to the ear. Some are hard. Some are harsh.....Ah! Yes.....some are hard, some are harsh. MY Word may be hard for you to hear, but My Word is never harsh! I speak firmly and plainly, and My Rod of Justice is firmly placed upon you. But there is a difference in words which are hard to hear and words harshly delivered. It was hard for Herodias to hear the words of Truth pouring from the Baptist’s heart. It was harshness which caused her to order the death of the Baptist.....Do you see what I am saying?

Truth is Truth. I have said it cannot be broken and it cannot be bent. I have said that Truth must live in Love. So let us look. In the Garden there was only Truth. Truth is what I gave to you in Love. And because of Love you chose to obey. One thing, I had asked of you, not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil. In a moment, you permitted Truth to be bent, Obedience to be cast aside and Love of self to overpower your Love of Me. Temptation entered the Garden once pure, and your free will chose to taste of the Knowledge of Good you did not need to know and of evil which I had not wanted for you. The evil pouring forth from the serpent Satan, presented a temptation, and rather than to obey Me, you freely chose to do what I had not wanted you to do.

No more.....no less. No more.....no less. That is My Lesson to you this day. Examine your hearts, little ones. How well have you heard My Word? How well have you delivered it? How Lovingly have you behaved toward one another? Have you wounded another? Have you left the Garden of My Love? Have you obeyed Me? Or disobeyed Me? Have you misinterpreted My Word and then acted and continued to act upon My Word.....or the misinterpretation.....your own.....of My Word? See? You shall surely be lost if you do not focus on Me! Do no more and no less than I ask of you, little ones.

If you are the giver of My Word, then do no more or no less than I ask of you. If it should go badly for you, then come Here and stay in Me. The hardness of hearts may be melted in time. If you are the hearer of My Words, come Here to Me. For you shall never fully understand Me unless you turn to Me. Come to Me in My Church. All you truly need to know is contained Here. And all else may be measured Here. If what you hear takes you off on a journey of self interpretation, you tread, step-by-step, away from Me. Recall the Garden.....preferring self, over Me.....do not make that grave mistake again. Learn by all which have gone before you.  I have said that life is your Lesson Plan.

Be in Me, firmly grounded in Me in My Church. There will be confusion in your midst. It is the enemy trying to confound you and capture you. Rush into the Heart of My Church. I have told you the Heart of the Church is My Own. Seek Her Wisdom. Seek My Spirit. Here, in My Church! Hear My Word in Her. Compare all which you hear in Her. All you truly need to know is contained Here. In Her is the Tree of Life Who I am. The Fruit upon THIS Tree are of My Spirit! The Gifts given are My Own: the Gift of the Spirit to you.

So.....speak for Me. Pray that you hear in Me. Let your actions be in Me. No more. No less. In Me. Amen. +
