Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]

When you go forth in My Name, how can you be sure you are acting for Me? .....By BEING in Me!.....Through the Action of The Spirit Most Holy! Be sure, in prayerful discernment, that what you say, that what you do, that what you attribute to Me has in fact, come from Me. For there are two spirits at work in you, My lambs: the Spirit of God, and as well, your own....and possibly a third.....if you allow him.....the evil thought, to persist within you. How do you carry out My Word? How do you carry out My Way? How assured are you, in whose spirit you act? .....Look for Fruits, look for Love. Even aridity gives forth life when aridity is given to Me. I AM the Oasis in the desert, afterall! But you shall not see Me as I am if you are more alive within your own spirit and less in submission to My Own. The more you cling to self the less you see of Me. The less you see clearly in Me, the more subject are you to the enemy's ways.....the more your own spirit becomes guided by him.....the more that deception enters your realm and what would have been Fruit, becomes death.....poison.....self-will, not MY Will.

And so.....look upon Me.....gaze upon Me and let go of self in [into] Me and let Me fill you. Hear My Whispers. Let Me fill your hearts. See that Goodness pours forth.

.....How long? How long will you separate yourselves from Me? DO you recognize Me as you say you do? Where am I in your neighbor? Your sister? Your brother? Have you caused infliction, pain.....for self gain? .....Ah! Be careful in your answer, little ones. See? I have sent you forth. What have you done? Where is Love in all that you do? Why are you thirsting in the desert? How did you arrive where you are? You are thirsting, when My Life-Giving Water is before you. How well, truly, do you see? To whom would you give a cup of My Kindness? Make sure, little ones, that first, I am pouring forth from within you. For unless I am freely within you, you will not know Me and others will never meet Me.....for they will always only see you. Amen. +
