Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[I understand the Lord.....]
There is a Fire in this world. It is My Spirit. Yet, there is a competition for Its Light. The evil one would distract you. He would compete for your soul. He would burn you, singe you.....your wings, that you could no longer fly unto Me. Can you recognize the ways in which I try to gain your attention, versus the ways that Satan would distract you?Truth has entered the world and there is a direct contrast to lie, which competes for your soul. Truth is straightforward and plain in fact. Lie leads you down a road of much distraction. Truth is resolve. Lie is unended possibilities, all rooted, chained as it were, in the world. But I Who am Spirit, I Who am God, come to shake you loose from all your earthly bindings. How can your own spirit rise up in Me, unless you willingly let go of all which binds you to the earth: the world, the flesh and Satan, who would draw you down to the very bowels of hell.
If your focus has willingly been shifted from earthly binds to Me, you will soon enough notice that tugs which would draw you back to your old earthly habitats, is very distracting. For you have come to live in the world, but not to be OF the world. If your spirit has come to live more and more in Me, then you will notice, more and more, these instances of displacement. You will come to recognize that your spirit has been set free in Me. That you have come to dwell in My Spirit. I am your home.
And how can you cope? How can you exist? Pray. Pray. Pray. Be in Me. Remain in Me. I have jarred you loose from the world that you would leave your shackles behind. That you would prefer Freedom in Me to slavery in the world.
Pray for yourself. Pray for those imprisoned in their hearts. The flame of self satisfaction, self gain, self worth at the expense of others, self righteousness in the absence of Me, self glory, self gratification, personal power, personal wealth and pride, all tear your flesh from your bones and imprison your spirit. You claim a place in the world, yet you are chained in worldly binds. You claim self righteousness, yet you are in servitude to Satan. You cry "freedom" yet you are living in jeopardy of losing your soul. You claim intelligence, knowledge and vision, but to the exclusion of Me. If I am the Source of all Goodness, and you are living a life in the exclusion of Me, then I ask, where is Goodness in your life?
(.....Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and enkindle in us the Fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be created and You shall renew the Face of Your earth! Alleluia!)
My child, include the words of My saint. (Yes, my Lord.)
"One of the ways most pleasing to God of keeping ourselves in His Holy Presence, is to enter into the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to commit to Him all the care of ourselves. We must abide therein as in an Abyss of Love, and lose in It that which is of ourselves, so that He may substitute that which is of Himself." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for May 11]
[The Lord continues.....]
I surround you with Love and Truth. Grace abounds from My Father. I feed you My Body, My Blood. And My Spirit abounds. You have been washed clean in Him. Now, rise and LIVE in Him. For to be in Him is to be in Me. And to be in Me is to be in the Father. One. We. Us. You in Me. God, not the world. In the world but not of the world. Now and forever. Amen. †(Acts 16:22-34; Ps. 138:1-3, 7-8; Jn. 16:5-11)
With Love, in the Two Hearts,
His Sarah
