The Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist

Friday, August 29, 1997

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[From within prayer, I hear Jesus speak:]

Child, hear Me. For I would speak directly to My children. O family who is Mine: Be one! What is it that divides us, My lambs? Why is there a rift between us? Why would you drift from My Side? Why would you leave Life; This Source; Me? What has dissuaded you to go? To what voice do you listen?

Lambs, you must be strong. To follow Me takes strength. I am your Strength. If you will allow Me to be.

Now lambs, I tell you further still: the commitment you bear Me must be more than skin deep. "Surface lives" do not remain very long in Me. Why would I speak to you day after day, lest it would be to affect a change in your life! But how shall this be, unless you pick up your cross and come, follow Me. Where is your heart? If it is not for Me, then it is against Me.

Children, this is a time of great recognition. A time of searching, yet finding a home. In Me. I am the Port in every storm. I am the Lord, God of Life.

What is the level of commitment. Willingness to even the death? Where are your eyes fixed. Are they totally upon Me? Or are they fixed in part, upon things of this world. "Oh," you say, "this is too difficult." Children, recall that in Me there are no burdens. In Me every labor is made light.

How would I accomplish good in this world? When I perform miracles in this day, I am investigated and disallowed. And so, I send forth My prophets, My mouthpieces to announce Me. And still My Voice would be stilled by those who disallow. And so, I increase My Spirit among you. That My Presence would be made visible. In you.

I send you forth to bring this Good News. How? By the manner of My sending. Alone in Me: two. Two by two do I send. In My Company. In the company of yet another in Me. And, what is to be witnessed? Grand speech? For some, yes. Bold proclamations? For some, yes. An extraordinary life? Yes. For some. But what of you? Locked in a prison are you? Here in your life as it is. Confined by time and space. But, here you are. How shall you BE for Me? By the example of your life. Your true Life in Me.

I will not deny that I have touched you and made you whole. Will you deny Me by not proclaiming My Presence in your life?

And so, now, I speak to you of vocation: the how and why of your life in Me. What shall you do and how shall it be accomplished? How closely shall you follow Me? My Footsteps are before you. Would you come, and follow Me?

Lambs, where is your focus? You must look upon Me. I beg you: look upon Me. For if you do, then dying to self has sense. Otherwise, it is an insurmountable sacrifice. Hand Me your hands. I shall take them. Look at Me. Gaze upon Me. Glory awaits you.

The world sees victory in the death of a man who would challenge the ways of the flesh. The world sees fit to ridicule such a life as wasted on foolish fancy. But you are not of the flesh, but spirit. And My Spirit calls you forth this day, this moment, to be more than of flesh, but spirit.

Proclaim Me by your life. How you live. What you do. And listen to the Voice of One Who cries within you. It is I, the Lord. Speaking. Calling out to you. For by My Path are you saved. Listen, child, for I speak to your heart. And step by step you are Mine. Come forth here, into the Hands of your Lord. Victory awaits you. Focus on Me. Amen.

What seems like death, is Life waiting to happen. Amen. +

(Jer. 1:17-19: Ps. 71:1-6,15,17; Mk. 6:17-29)

With Love, in the Two Hearts,

His Sarah
