Title:  "Why is it your nature to recognize Goodness in your midst and then to doubt its existence?"

Third Sunday of Advent, December 12, 1999

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Sweet things, I ask you:  Why is it your nature to recognize Goodness in your midst and then to doubt its existence?  My Presence is among you always, in many varied ways.  I speak through My prophets, I anoint with the hands I use, I instruct, I am kind, I am silent, I am obvious, I am different than the norm which society would tout.   And you notice Me.  Yet, you doubt My existence in these things which you see.   You rejoice over Goodness, yet gravitate to the bad.  You were made for Good, yet you remain attracted to evil.....And to doubt and question the things of God without having prayed, is to entertain evil.

You question that which is Good, of Me.  Yet, you readily accept the presence of evil in your midst.  O!  How BLIND you have become!  O!  How swept away by the enemy you are!  Does not evil upset the whole of humanity?  Yet, when MY Goodness challenges your heart, you doubt, you question, you cast away, Me in your midst.

My lambs, hear Me speak to you this day.  If I speak, and I seem to upset your heart, I ask you to ask yourself....."Why."  Is it that *I* am bad?  Certainly not.  Is it that YOU are bad?  Examine your heart.  Could it be that My Truthful Light has assisted you in seeing your own darkness.  Darkness would consume Light if you allow it.  And in THIS, I give YOU the power over darkness by your OWN desire to repent of your sin, your weakness, your failing, your imperfection in My Light.

And so, what are we to do?  Let My Scripture be ALIVE in your life.  Read every prescribed Word!  See YOURSELF within It!  For if you condemn those who struggled in the "story" of My Word [I understood.....as the Pharisees] then you do yourself a great disservice.  It is not "them" and not you.  It is for ALL people.....then, now, and to come.  They question.....you question.  They doubt.....you doubt.  They condemn.....you condemn.  History, My lambs, CAN be broken.  By you.  In your heart.  COME to Me with a repentant spirit.  I WILL make you whole!

But you must listen.  You must live, truly, My Word.  Would you silence Me....that I cannot speak to you this day?  Now, where is the Good in that?  Does YOUR Discomfort make MY Word invalid??  .....Well??.....

Daughter, describe what you see.

(Yes, My Lord. Interiorly I see a huge structure, and I am inside, Lord.  It is a sort of storehouse. It seems to be made of corrugated metal.  It has a high, pitched roof.  The rafters are all exposed and some things are stored way up there, Lord.  The walls are all corrugated.....for some reason, that structural design seems important.  There are many aisles of wooden frames which hold all sorts of pipes, some so large that they look like types of round metal chimney liners and exhaust systems, as for cars.  There is some wood, too, My Lord, but mostly I notice all which looks like some sort of venting material.....even the large metal culvert drains which allow water to flow under roads, etc.  That is mostly what I see, Lord, in the dim lighting.....For this huge place is only lit by one bare, hanging lightbulb.  It is all rather strange, Lord, to see this within My spirit while here now, in Your Company.  That is what I see, my Lord.)

And the dankness?

(O YES, Lord!  Thank You for reminding me, Lord.  The air is stale.  There are no windows.  And it seems no one comes here very often.  It is cool in here, Lord, but not cold.  Everything just seems so very dim, dank, and .....forgotten.....unused, passed by.  Supplies needed, but not used, My Lord.)

Child, children.....this vision is a soul.  An unrepentant soul.  A soul where My Light has been dimmed, forgotten.  Where the Breath of My Spirit has been slammed shut.  Where all which was intended for your use has been stored away, sealed up.  Yes.....the chimney supplies.....they were so that the Fire of My Love within you could have breathed; and by the smoke which would have risen from your heart.....would have cleared your air, yet.....given evidence that the Combustion of Love was alive within you. And the supplies for drainage.....they were for you to help funnel the Torrent of My Love from within you to all I place around you.

But the air has grown stale.  And you have become wasteful with all which I had provided to you.  Your structure.....the corrugated building.....is so temporary.  You have not taken the time to build a permanent structure upon My Foundation.  And child, there are more such structures in your life.

I speak to the child now reading.  The heart who I am touching right now.

But the place has changed.  I have entered.  We have discovered it together.  Now.....shall you ask Me to leave once more?  Shall we pretend, once again, that this wasteful undone structure is NOT in your heart?

I come to cleanse hearts.  I come to improve you.  I come to make you worthy, by My Grace, to have you enter MY Domain!  WILL you work with Me NOW, that YOU will be made, refashioned, into the fullness, completeness, which I have intended for you?

Let Me enter your dwelling, children.  I will make you whole, one, in Me.  I have seen your darkened structure.  I have waited for YOU to see it, too.  You cannot enter My Kingdom in this condition, lambs.

I come to make you whole.  I come to make you one.  In Me.  Now.  And forever.  Amen.    †
