Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
It is for you to know the Word of God.  It is for you to Trust the Word
of God.  *I* am the Word of God.  God made Flesh, dwelling among you.
My Word is Deep.  My Word is True.  My Word is Infallible.  What is
fallible, is YOU.

Children, what do you believe?  WHO do you believe?  What do you obey?
Why.  WHO do you obey?  Why?  Who do you seek?  Do you KNOW who you
seek?  HOW do you seek Truth?

You ask for signs.  I provide them.  You follow *them*, when it is *I*
Who am the Sign.  You thirst.  *I* am the Living Water.  You visit the
temple.  *I* have already visited YOU, here in your heart.

Now I ask you, what must be tumbled from YOUR midst, that you would be
cleansed?  You do not yet understand My Ways, yet you proclaim Me as
solid fact:  the fact being YOUR interpretation of ME!  Shall I tolerate
such behaviour, little ones?  Where would be the True Love in that?

No.....I shall topple you from your throne.  For I shall have no strange
gods before Me.  You did not realize it, little ones, but many of you
still sit on a throne of pride.....Look WITHIN, not WITHOUT, to
interpret My Meaning!  I have come for YOU, little one!  NO ONE is
exempt from this examination of heart!

I have given Laws to be obeyed.  Yet you complain....they are too
restrictive, too old.  Yet, you have not truly lived within them!

MY  HEART  IS  BLEEDING  FOR  MY  PEOPLE!

Water gushes from My Side.  I feed you.  I quench your thirst.  But the
change, little ones, is to take place in your heart.  My Law, My Life,
are not as topical solutions to the infestations of your hearts.  When
the world resides where I would rule, there is infestation.  When
blindness rules where I would give vision, there is infestation.  When I
would speak to be heard, to be lived, and you do not do as I lead you to
do, there is infestation.  Infestation is deception.  And deception has
occurred because you do not see clearly.  You do not hear clearly.  You
do not obey Me as I would be obeyed.

The gifts which I give are given freely.  Not to be adored, but to be
used to bring you closer to Me.  The Gifts are as Grace designed
specifically for you, to bring you closer to Me.  But let ME be the
Focus in your vision, not the gift.  I give signs, little signs along
the way.  But let ME be the Focus you have, let ME be the only Sign you
truly need.  Do not adore the little signs.  Adore ME.   Wait in Joyful
Hope for the Coming of the Lord.  Do not sit as a beggar, waiting for
more signs, more gifts.  LIVE in Me, NOW!  Your waiting is OVER!  I am
HERE!

These days are days in which much must be torn down, that you would be
rebuilt in Me.  If you are given to thirst, perhaps you will come to
prefer My Purity over the impure water of life for which you all too
often settle.  Perhaps you would come to a desire to forsake ALL things
for Me.  Let all look and see ME, not YOU.  To have less is far better,
that *I* might be more.  You will come to know Me fully along the way.
Let the Way be My Own, not yours.  Do not conform Me to you, but come,
be conformed, recreated in ME!

My Heart is breaking for you.  My people.  You do not yet truly know
Me.  Yet you proclaim Me.  Yet, you do not truly LIVE Me.

[Within my heart, I could see a table set as for a child's birthday
party.....favours, paper plates, a cake....all waiting for the seats to
be filled.....]

Are the favours at the party, gifts for the one being celebrated?  Are
the little favours greater than the gift being given to the one
celebrated?  The cake, the table settings, the positions at the
table.....are they greater than the one for whom you come to celebrate?
Is the house in which the feast is held, more important than the one for
whom you gather?  If the one for whom you gather does not come, is there
purpose in the gathering?  Is there satisfaction in one another, to the
exclusion of the one for whom you have gathered?

Children, you must keep a True Image of what you are doing, and why.
*I* am the Reason of your life.  That is plain fact.  Now, live it out.
You are Graced.  But the Grace is not larger than where you are to be in
Me.  I am the One for Whom you wait.  Pursue Me.  Obey Me.  Live in Me.
Die in Me.  And be in Me.  Now and forever.  Amen.  And when YOU say, "I
thirst," let it be for Me.  Or you shall never be satisfied.
