Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My children, DO hear Me. I request your attention. Do you hear? Truly? Are you deaf to any of My Words? Would I heal your deafness? Would you permit Me? O! You say: "Yes, Lord." And so, I touch you. But children, you shall not be fully healed unless you embrace Me in your hearts. Hardened hearts are a deterrent to all growth. You cannot fully Love Me unless you Love one another. This is the Law I have given to you.
Would you grow a seed into a seedling on a rock? (No, Lord.) Would a field be nurtured in a flood? (No, Lord.) For one deprives life with no available nutrient. And the other strips away the source of life. It is imbalance. And proper growth cannot occur in an imbalanced soul. Again I say: focus on Me! How can you be unproductive in My Sight? How can you be washed away in My Care? It is a loss of focus which results in those situations. You cannot hear, for the hardness of a heart. You cannot hear for the roar of the flood waters. Focusing on Me is a necessary routine. I would direct you. I have asked you to follow, afterall!
I hand to you My Kingdom. It is a free gift. But to live Here you must adhere to My Commandments. And the Law of Love prevails. If you are not of Love, True Love, then you are aside of Me. Your presence might appear to be of My Kingdom, but your heart is not. And the fruits of a hardened heart are found in all the stagnation about you. (O Lord! What can we do? Why are we so afraid of growing? Why are we afraid of growth in You?) It is fear. Fear of change. It is doubt. That I can do it. It is pride. The control of power. Power to lead, but [choosing] not to serve. Daughter..... (Jesus! These things are not of You [fear, doubt, pride]! It is the enemy!) The enemy who conquers, yes. But not without permission. A vision, share it, Sarah?
(Yes, Jesus! You have permitted me to see a man who thinks he is the captain of a large ship; when in fact, he is alone and sailing on a raft with a sail on it. He is motioning, like a boy at play, as if he is giving orders to his crew which does not, truly, exist. He appears to be on calm waters. What he does not see, My Lord, is that he is very close to death. For just ahead is a huge waterfall into a deep abyss. And he is headed there. And he just keeps motioning and directing and commanding. Lord! He looks rather insane!)
The saddest thing, My child, is that he took the time to construct this raft. See how the logs are tied together. Much planning went into the construction of this raft. And yet no planning went into the plotting of the course. He is alone, headed for his own demise. (Lord! It makes me quite sad!)
The sadness, child, is that he is not alone. There are many such rafts. All headed for destruction. Because they do not heed the Truth which has been spoken. They live a life of charade. Have the Pharisees ever ceased their blind leadership? No. They continue to this day. Encouraging their people into a path of destruction. When will they look and finally see Me? When will their hearts finally embrace the fullness of My Word? Truth lives! But you can only live in Truth if you focus on Me!
Lamb, write these words: The Lord your God calls you to a full life in Him. The Lord your God Desires your presence. You need bring nothing but your open heart. I shall fill you beyond completion. I shall provide your every need. For in Me you shall come to see the true value of possession. You will come to see the value in leading a charitable life. And we begin with honesty and kindness to one another. I would strip you of your possessions. Would you render "opinion" to Me? Opinion, judgment? Would you give Me these? For I see how they block your true ability to Love one another. Honesty. Love. Kindness. Truth rising from your heart. But first, to be true to self.
We cannot truly heal others if we are not yet healed of heart. Within your own heart. This kingdom must be made clean in order that we reach out with genuine Love for one another. From within one another.
Hard hearts have no ears. Hard hearts have no eyes. They would possess self. They would bow to ego. They would honour self will, not My Will. They prefer laurel wreaths to My Grace. They prefer the accolades of people to the Joy in their heart from Me.
My stars, My stars, adhere to My Word. My stars, My stars, LIVE My Word. My stars, My stars, BECOME My Word. How? By being in Me as I have promised. As I have asked that you be.
Do you hear Me? Or do you read Me?
Do you live Me? Or do you tolerate Me?
Do you follow Me? Or do you follow yourself?
Do you walk My Way? Or you own?
Am I the Truth? Or are your sources greater than Me?
Am I your Lord? Or is flesh?
Am I your God? Or is the world?
O little ones! Do not complicate things! Be simple. HEAR ME! I shower you with Love! But I cannot make you listen. I repeat Myself until you listen. And then, when I have finally caught your attention, you will see that for all My "repetition" in fact, each Word is a New Lesson in Life in Me! You will hunger and thirst for Me. But not until you hear Me. I say: "Ephphatha, be opened." Will you permit the process to begin?Child, I smile on you. And I wait. Amen.
