Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
We will write these Words now. Dear children of My Heart, DO hear Me. All that I have said, all that I have taught, has meaning in your life. I preached repentance, as did John [the Baptist]. Yet, I AM Salvation, Salvation for all. Do you believe? Do you live what you say you believe? Then: Repent, repent, repent! Again: Repent, repent, repent. For, a final moment can enter your midst like a thief in the night and rob you of all I have given you if you are not prepared to win the battle in that final moment. So many did not understand. But YOU see, do you not? Afterall, how can we be together like this and have you not seeing clearly? Where IS your vision, afterall?You long for Me to answer prayer. And I do. But when you do not see, you accuse Me of not having answered. This is because your vision is elsewhere. Your vision is not happening through trust, trust in Me. Your vision is guarded. Guarded as with a horse with blinders, for you would walk only where YOUR vision leads you, not as I would have you go. All prayer is answered. Now, pray for MY Vision that you begin to see Me as I am in your life. Wisdom is seeing and it leads you to knowing. And how can you possess Wisdom, unless you know Me well enough to bow before Me in My Glory? Children, it is difficult to follow someone you do not know. It is difficult to follow, if YOU are leading the way. Bow in humble reverence before Me. THEN the Path of our journey will be true.
How can you keep a proper perspective on your journey's path? By focusing on Me. By being in constant awareness that I am God and you are not. My John's Reading today says: have no idols. [Reference to today's First Reading.] What has become an idol for you? Is it YOU? Your way? Your mind? Your spirit's desires? Your thoughts? Your wants? Your needs? I tell you this: when you discern, always begin with yourself. Do I not take care of the birds of the air? Do I not, as well, take care of YOU!
You say: I came for you, as if no other existed. Well, if I came for you, what is it I shall accomplish? You must be willing to see My Purpose in all things. John baptized with water. I baptize in the Spirit and the water, by My Blood. Do you see the difference, as did John? Do you see that some things change, and some do not. Who is it that causes change for the Good? What good would water be without the Sacrifice of My Cross and the Coming of the Spirit? Now, this is not to put down all tradition of the past, but it IS to say that I advise you to be on guard for all things which cause you to cling to this world; most especially your routine.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. Yes, there is an intrinsic nature to this thought. But, some things are in process: a progression, to a fruition. Most especially, you!
See? I have come to break the old routines. I have come to Perfect the Good which is already present within you. I have come to wash away all guilt. I have come to absolve you of all your sin. Do not be focused on the repentance of another, when I am standing here before YOU now! This is OUR moment. I have created it. Do not give away that which you do not possess. This moment is YOURS. I have given it to you. It was made especially for you. It will not fit another. Yet, you try to give it away. And so I wait. For you. To be. In Me.
I am Love, and I Love YOU. I am Love and I Love ALL. Trust Me, child, that while we are together, I likewise am with all. Do you truly believe that I am Everywhere? Do you live what you believe.
John [the Baptist] bowed in reverence before My Presence. He knew. He saw. He saw through Wisdom. He did not let the world or the flesh dissuade him from the Truth. He listened to Me, alive in his heart. He gave all things to Me. He let Truth speak Truth in his life. And so, when others did not see, John saw. And when others vied for a place before Me, John bowed. John decreased. Willingly. Bowing to the Will of God. John knew that I was God, and he was not. Do you?
May I ask you to read, now, My Word? Will you see there, with Wisdom? Will you come to know Me there, as well. Will you see how much I Love you?.....Children, look at Me. I am bowing to My Father. I am God and I am bowing to My Father. Do you see? Do you believe? Do you live what you say you believe? For living is living in Me. And I am in My Father as He is in Me. And for you to enter, you must come to bow. To bow in praise and in Grace and in Love. Of Me. Of your neighbor. Of yourself. To bow to God, and not the world. To bow to God, and not the flesh. And so, to avoid the attack of the enemy. To win over temptation. To avoid sin. To be in Me. Yes. To be. One in Me. Amen. †
