Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Well, My children, hear now, what I have to say to you.  There are many ways that evil can enter your being, but none shall occur without your free will.  Just as *I* stand at your door knocking, so too, does evil wait for the open door of your permission.  As you set out to do things which are self-serving, as you follow your own desires of the flesh, as you pursue your own mind rather than the mind of God, you wander further and further from Me.  You enter a land of middle ground where you are neither hot nor cold, left or right.  And in your hovering state, much energy is wasted and as you tire of your position, it is far more easy to fall away from Me.....to even.....be lost forever.

True possession of a soul by the evil one does not occur without your own invitation.  If I, Who Am God, wait for your permission, so too, does evil.    For I am Lord of all.  If I choose to wait for you, so too, the enemy.  O!  How he holds Me in defilement, making his attacks on you, all the more.  For you are My child and the enemy would win you from Me, if you let him.

Children, if you would draw closer to Me, you would see more clearly, the spiritual battle which is being waged in your midst.  And the prize to be won is your soul.  Do not become so busy with your mind games, for you are attracted by your own intelligence and in the pursuit of self, you can lose your soul!

Self pleasure keeps you from a True Life in Me.  Self denial draws you closer to Me.  Freedom of thought, in defiance of Me, draws you stealthily into the enemy camp.  Obedience to ME, on the other hand, stays your advance away from Me.  It trains you, willingly on your part, to remain in Me.

Children, there is a difference in the endurance of trials when they are permitted by Me, as you are willingly in Me; than when you willingly leave Me, My Domain in you, My Heart.  There are problems in the world in this day which are all direct outpourings from your sin, from your insolence of Me.  Do not blame ME.  Look to your own heart.  Examine your conscience.....for if you had done that all along, your conscience would not have allowed so much of what exists today!

The decline in morality has led to further decline.  The tolerance for self expression has entertained pride, the first sin.  Children!  For all of "your advances," you are  no match for the power of evil!   But you WILL win the battle in MY Company!  And how do you enter My rank?  .....Ask Me!  Beg Me.....yes.....for Mercy.  For My Forgiveness.  I ask only your repentant heart!  Come!  Yes come, and be prostrate in heart before Me, your God!  In My Tenderness I shall pick you up.  I shall make you whole.  But lambs.....do not turn to Me as a last act of desperation on your part.  I DO read your heart, I DO see the sincerity.....or not.....which is there.

In the End, it WILL be My Way!  In the End, Justice.....My Own.....shall prevail.  In the End there is only My Heaven, or Satan's hell.  And right now, where you are, you are marking your place.....by your life.  So.....are you with Me?  Or against Me?  There is NO middle ground.  I have told you this repeatedly, have I not?  Are you listening yet?  For I warn you.....when you enter the fires of hell it will be your own choice, by the defiance of your life.  And there are NO  SECOND  CHANCES  THEN!

LISTEN to Me, children!  In My Mercy, I come to warn you.  Amen!    †
