What are you hearing? What have you heard? How have you discerned? Are you stuck in your own heart's hearing, or are you willing to hear these who I have gathered here?

[The Lord speaks.....]
My children, My lambs, hear Me. When you listen to My Word, when you read My Word, DO be affected by It. Let Me take root in your hearts. Pray through the Spirit that His Breath will fill you and My Word will become your own. If you are in Me, My Word will fill you and your mind will be opened and your hunger and thirst for Me will find a Home. You cannot exclude a part of Me and still expect to be whole in Me. You cannot expect fulfillment in Me, yet decline the part of Me I offer to you. See? To be one in Me is for you to offer all of yourself to ME.

If you do not remain open to My possibilities for you, you may miss My Presence, My Way when here I am for you. Be less contrived in how *I* am to be for you, and more concerned in how YOU are to ME. Be more concerned for the condition of your heart. For you must be prepared to receive Me. You must be aware that I am always here, waiting to meet you, waiting to greet you. Will you truly receive Me when I come to you? Will you listen to My Word and accept the Interpretation I teach through My Church, My Body gathered here?

To be of honest heart is to admit I speak. To be of functioning heart is for you to listen. To be of obedient heart is for you to act upon My Word.....So you must listen and heed the discernment of your heart and of the hearts I gather here. For the Spirit is Whispering that He be understood. If you hear properly you do not banish Me. If you hear properly you grow. If you hear properly you will find you are not alone. If you hear properly, you will see a building up of community. There is a difference between building up and tearing down. I come to build you. Do not CONTROL the Word, but LIVE the Word. Explore the Word and encourage one another. Learn and grow and know that ANYTHING I would say to you finds its rightful place NOW in My Church Teaching, in My Word, in My Way. I do not contradict Myself. And so I say to you who hear.....If you find contradiction, do not tolerate it. Seek the Truth. Explore in Love and with prayer the understandings of your hearts. Growth sometimes comes from the agitation of your own spirit. But ALL things are to be resolved in Love, in Church, in Truth. Recall: My Word is given to build you up. So, you must be aware of the condition of your heart. Are you in discernment, or distress? Are you building up or tearing down? Are you listening to your own preconceived notions, or My Word. Are your interpretations confined to your vision, or free to be fulfilled in My Own? Are you willing to receive the insights of fruitful discernment of the family around you?.....For the Word is given to build you up.....to build a community. Look and see those who I have gathered. Look and find Me. Now I ask again: What are you hearing? What have you heard? How have you discerned? Are you stuck in your own heart's hearing, or are you willing to hear these who I have gathered here?
