Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
The Truth shall pour forth from My Lips, for I am Truth and I shall not cease speaking the Will of My Father. That you all be one in Me, so, one in Him Who has created you.Children, to respond to the needs of the people is My Ministry, even as it is yours. Truth must prevail. Focus must remain. Glory be to My Father! Yes! Glory! Glorify your God by all that you do. O children, if you bend to serve man, let it be only for the Glory of God, not to please the ears and hearts of mankind. Do not bend like a reed bowed in the wind, to the ways of the world. Do all that you do solely for the Glory of God. According to His Holy Law. According to Truth, Which is the Very Spirit of God.
To bend your ways to the ways of man, is to deviate from Truth. The flesh is part of your downfall; for NOW you are of Spirit. You HAVE become a new person, My lambs, and you have a certain obligation through freedom within it, to do the things of God, not man. You shall not be capable of achieving this unless you remain in constant prayer. For prayer is communication with Me. Be speaking, constantly, to your God. By your thoughts, words and deeds. If you walk in Me, you walk in Truth. See how much easier discernment becomes. But know this: it is for YOU to discern where you are. The world is large, My lambs, but where YOU are is where you can stub your toe. So, HERE is where you must discern the Truth. In prayer. Here. Yes. And regardless of what you find, in your heart, word and deed, you must Love. For this I have commanded you to do. Freedom to obey, but it IS My Command: My Law of Love. Ah! Then, your focus IS upon Me. You are complete. Now, walk to Me! Come, yes, to Me. I await your arrival.
All that is your need will be given or restored. Would I bring you here to starve you? No. I have asked that you follow Me. You are here. Would I not provide for you? O lambs, do hear Me! I am your God. Do not play "god" but DO worship Me. DO expect that I shall provide for you as you accomplish what I have asked you to do.
In simplicity, like a child, come follow Me. Obey My Commandments. Love one another as I Love you. Children [here I could see Jesus slowly shaking His Head.....] it is so Simple. Why do you complicate it? Simplicity! I am Simplicity. Complications are not of Me. They are your own contrivances. Sweet things, DO hear Me: Be a child. Please! Be a child! Little. Small. Simple. Trusting. Relying upon Me. For your every need. Now and forever. Amen. †
