Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Abba speaks.....]
The Ark of the Covenant! Why would I place My Law into it? Why would it house My Manna? Who is the Ark? Sweet Mother of God! Purified Virgin, born without sin! Into her I have placed My Living Word! She, to house My Word, My Law, the Living Bread from Heaven. Yet now, My little ones, I look to you. Are you not, as well, an ark into which I place My Spirit? Into you, does He not enter at your Baptism? Into you, enters the King of Glory: My Son, the Word made Flesh, given as Gift to you by the Sacrifice of His Cross. O children! Temples have been built! Yes! GREAT temples have been built, but none greater than you, O children! In your [Blessed] Mother's shadow you dwell. Her steeple has rung true from her Conception. But you, O little ones, as well from your cleansing of sin, have existed as Temples of the Almighty God.For generations, man has turned to stone and wood and mortar to build edifices in which I am to dwell. But I tell you, NO edifice can house Me with as much purity as a Baptized heart! O children! Can you not SEE? It is your HEART where I long to dwell. Your eyes fall to buildings and boundaries. But I have promised you Life. And I keep My Word. Would you come to see the Beauty in your heart? Have we not discussed this here [the Messages] before.....that your heart is a nation, a kingdom in which I would dwell?
The Word made Flesh is according to MY Will, not your own! Salvation from sin concerns your eternal soul, and your flesh must come to a willing submission to all the desires you maintain. All Good that is given is by My Hand. And I have created you, entirely, that your WHOLE being might give Glory to Me! I have built you as a Temple, dedicated to Me. Where within you, do your Praises to Me resound?
Too many of you have silent bells, quiet, muffled chimes. Too many of you have empty pews in your hearts.....no one comes to worship Me there.....not even YOU! The empty pews in your heart are the moments which could have been spent in prayer. Children, it is this emptiness of space that we will examine in your time of Judgment before Me. For, if you were absent from the Temple of your heart, then where were you? Was your labour rendered freely to Me? Or were you about your OWN business?
Little ones, hear Me speak to you. The desires you have must come to be filtered against the Desires of My Will for you. All things should be in clear focus on Me. My Son has been teaching this to you endlessly, by His Own Example. Until you do these things, there will be no Peace in your hearts. And until your hearts are in Peace in Me, there will be no Peace among you. All "peace" not rooted in Me is no peace at all. And that is why your struggle continues. I ask you: If I desire your Temple to be in your soul, why would I truly be concerned with brick, mortar and earthly boundary, when all that is the world will fall away? Would I not be concerned primarily with the condition of your heart [soul] which will live forever? Would you not think that I, Who am your Loving Father, would want the Best for your soul? If I were to come to rest and live within your Temple, would it not be the one eternal?
O children! I Gift to you My Spirit. By His Gifts to you do you win the right to enter into My Life. And if you avail yourself of these Gifts, you will begin to Understand these, My Words to you. You will begin to see My Life within you. And you will begin to Desire more and more of Me! But you MUST come to LIVE within your Temple where I reside. You MUST come to BE in Me. Have you become bored with My Request for you to BE? If so, that is your problem, your weakness. For you must be WILLING to be. I shall lead the way. For 'being' is unique for you in Me. No two existences in Me are alike. But you must start. For, the temple I would have, and the one you would render to Me are two completely different edifices. One is but a facade. And one is Real. Come, enter the Temple of your soul. I shall hold you here, in My Palm. I shall grow you Here. And you shall learn and you shall live. And you shall.....be. In Me. Forever. If you enter. If you would but live in Me. Even now, as I live in you.
O Temples! May your chimes ring loud and true. BE an indication in this world that God IS with you NOW! Amen. †
