[The Lord speaks.....]
What shall I say today that has not been said before? What do you want to hear? The Truth? Or what pleases your soul? Is it the same? Is it different? The answer lies in where IS your soul? Deeply rooted in Me? Or deeply rooted in the world. For souls in the world, My Word is sheer boredom. Repetition. More of the same. For a soul growing in Me, there is an appetite for more. Only YOU know where you are.....and I, for I can see the entirety of your heart. Relax into Me. Be in Me. Are My Words floating in your surface? Are they only in your eyes? Or are they like a well, filled by the trickle, the current up from below, from within the depths of your heart?O child who reads! O child who writes! What is the difference? All are learning, who want to learn. The only advantage is your position in Me. I invite you. It is for YOU to come!
For hearts who resist Me, My Word is the enemy. For hearts who doubt, My Word becomes the enemy. For those who resist, who doubt, their weak spots become the territory of the enemy. For doubt is like fertilizer for the advance of the evil one. Children, can you not see this? I invite you into Me. You invite the enemy by your resistance to Me, for you leave yourself in a weakened condition by your efforts to resist Me. And the sight saddens My Heart. O look! Those who refuse Me would banish Me. Would YOU cast Me out, too?
Child! Your eyes are now upon this page. Look and see the Truth that greets your eyes. Look and see the Truth that would permeate your hearts. See! I lift My Scripture, I compress it into a way of understanding for your heart and I offer it to you as a daily diet, that you might imbibe and so, grow strong, strong enough to withstand the advances of the enemy. "So, we have Scripture," you say, "why
do we need this, too?" Child, your God stands before you with a platter of succulent good fruit. Would you decline My offer? Who knows you better than I? O child, know this. I offer Myself to the entire world, but here in this moment is you and I. Will you dine upon this delightful morsel that I would share with you? Would you grow rich and strong on the Word of God? Or do you prefer the vacuum of the world, filled with its empty noise. Do you prefer a desert to an oasis? Thirst to satisfaction? Now I would Grace you and grow you so that in a leaner time you would continue in amazement to all about you.The health of the Body is My Concern. That My Healthy Body remain thus. Many parts, Here in My Body. And I provide the precise nourishment necessary for each part. This here is what I offer to you. Will you accept Me here? Will you grow here? Will you stay here and be in Me here? I permit it. I encourage it. I invite it. I invite YOU.
My Hand will continue to lift and to teach, as I long for you all to be one in Me. This is My Only True Desire. For there is pleasure rendered to My Father by this action: the motion of hearts back to Him. For some, the life that you will assume is gravely different from what you have known. But in Me, all is lifted in My Light. In Me, conversion becomes the Light in your soul. And Grace flows that you may endure it. For others the change is a slow process, almost unrecognizable to those around you and yourself as well. Until you have arrived, and then you shall know! But what I ask each of you, is to focus on Me. And then the process will seem less important, than the Vision in your heart. God is leading, you are following. And what can be more perfect than that? So DO pray for trust. In Me. That you follow, this time. That you stay, this time.
My Light is a Light of Utter Truth. My Light is not welcome in a world chosen to live in darkness. Yet for all searching in Hope, My Light is the Beacon of Safety and of Home. You see Me? Rush beyond the beckoning world. Do not listen to the temptations! Come, follow Me.....no matter what. Will you trust Me? I Grace you sufficiently. I call you home. To My Heart. Hear My Word and Live My Word. Do not flee, please do not flee. Stay, will you? Grow, will you? In Me. In Me. In Me. Amen. †
