Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]
Authority!  Let us speak of Authority!

From whom does all valid authority come?  From God!  From Me!  I am Who Am.  For just as I call into My Union and Acts of Creation man and woman in Marriage, so too, do I call into My Caring Hand, all who would lead for Me.....for Me.....lead for Me.

Authority properly used is Authority which helps to raise hearts and minds to God.  Authority properly used, begets Good upon Good in society.  Authority used for self purpose, self gain, kills the spirit, breaks the backs of mankind.  Recall Pharoah.....yet, I gave him every opportunity to repent of his selfish authoritarian ways and to lead as I would have him do so:  justly.

It is for this reason, children, that I ask you to pray for all who are in a seat of authority.  But do not overlook your own selves.  For you are mothers, fathers, leaders if even by example.  None are exempt from employing My Authority!

Authority properly used, presses the soul into service in Me......Yes, the soul of the one in authority should be in willing service to Me.  Pray, do not judge.  Fill your mouth with prayer and praise.  Recall the Law:  Love.  And without Love, there is nothing.

Ah!  But you say:  "Can I not think, Lord?"  I say:  think GOD!  I say:  Pray.  I say:  Trust in your Lord.....that *I* can do all things!

Who do I call?  You!  Who do I ask?  You!  What authority do I give to you?  My Life.....to share deeply in My Life.  Authority without Me is fleeting.  Authority IN Me brings souls to God, most especially, your own.  True Authority used by you would see you endlessly bowed in service in Me.  For Perfection of all virtue is found in Humility:  honest and sincere, bowed in Love before the Throne of your God.

You want more of life NOW?  Well I say:  Why suffer, why surrender your soul for time spent NOW in self pleasure, when all could be lifted to Me for the Value of All Eternity!

If I am the Author of all Life, then let Me be.  Do not assume to your fictitious roles any longer.  Assume everything you do.....in Me!  Here we are again:  I teach:  Be IN Me!  Let MY Authority rule in YOU, that YOU would rule in Me!

I am God.  You are not.  Your authority aside of Me is a fleeting moment.  Ah!  But IN Me......the possibilities are eternal!  Now and forever, I call.  DO hear My Voice and come, enter new Life here and now, in Me!  Amen.    †
