Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
What shall we do, little ones? What shall we do? For all this time I have been among you. And I pray for you in your behalf to the Father. Yet there remains, a spirit of obstinence within you. You refuse to imbibe, fully, My Way. You hear, but not. You live, but not, My Way. I am Whole and Complete. And you would subdivide My Word, My Way, just as they have divided My Garments. It is as though you draw lots for bits and pieces of Me. If you had truly imbibed all I have spoken, there would be no dissension in your world. Now, do not become deceived. The world I would have you look to is your own individual heart. Your heart nation. Your own.Where are you in Love, true Love, of self? Where are you in Love, true Love, of neighbor: all who are not yourself? Where then, are you in Love in Me? For you cannot truly be in Love in Me if you are incomplete in self, in neighbor. This is the Truth. And it can be a bitter pill to swallow if you are reserving your heart from Me.
You are called to suffer and die for My Sake. But how can you freely accomplish this task if you are incomplete in Me? The bitterness in your heart for one another is a clear indication of the journey you must still walk to a Full Life in Me. Give Me more than lip service, little ones. Give to Me your life. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Love so, that you would lay down your life for your friend. Let the life you lay down be your own: pride, self will, self opinion, self righteousness. It all must die within you, little ones, that you might, truly, call Me "Friend."
And so, to suffer for the Name.....the Name of Jesus. Why would you suffer for a Name, unless that Name is for you, truly, the Name beyond any other Name. Am I Jesus? Am I your Saviour? Am I your Messiah? Am I your Brother, your Friend? Am I your Lord? Your Master? Am I the Word? Am I Emmanuel? Son of David? Descendant of Joseph? Am I the Word Made Flesh? Am I the Life and Blood of your soul? Am I YOUR way to a True Life in Me? Am I the Way? Am I your Life? Is what I speak Truth? Have we not spent time together? Have you not freely followed Me? Have *I* not died for YOU? That YOU would die to ME? Have I not graced you sufficiently? Do I not meet your every need? Is not My Word sufficient for you? Is your word of more value than Mine? Would you not lay down your life for your friend. Am I your Friend?
O child! The ways of the world must be left aside if you are truly to come and follow, be, with Me! Reserve nothing from Me. Give all things to Me. That I might give your all and everything to the Father! Yes, I do intercede in your behalf, little ones. But I shall respect your free will, and I will not give to the Father that which you do not allow Me to have. I will not offer to the Father, that which you do not first lay into My Hands. Do you see? Do you finally understand? Children, if we are to be one, then you must lay down the things of this world in preference for Me.
Now I tell you this: Peace reigns in a Peaceful heart. Where is Peace in your life? Is it in Me? Or is Peace controlled by your mind. If I am the Prince of Peace, then do you live in My Kingdom? Or your own?Little ones, hear Me. You must come to live as I have: with clear vision upon the Father. For if you look to the world, you shall become distracted, attracted to its dark shadows. From the beginning, you were attracted to darkness over Light. To self knowledge over Perfect Knowledge in knowing Me. To pride of self worth, over your worth in Me. You listened to the whispers of evil rather than to the Instruction of your God. Your word was of more value to your mind than was My Word in your life. I have come for Peace of heart, yet you prefer to settle for a mimic of Peace, constructed by a piece of your mind. This is not Peace, it is pride. Ah! I expose the enemy, for he would rob you from Me. He would distract you. He would have you swallow a lie: that Peace can be achieved by your own device, aside of Me, in lieu of Me. This is not the purity, the unity for which I pray in your behalf before the Father. You do not allow to Me the unity for which I pray.
And so, what shall we do? Let us try, once again, for you to lay your life down for your Friend. I am your Friend. Now. Always. Forever and ever. Child.....I reach out My Hand. Peace. Shalom. Friend. Love. One. Unity.
.....Father! I pray for My friend. Receive us, Lord, in the unity that is becoming our own. Refuse us not, Father! For I pray continually for Oneness. And I am Your Word, Father! And I do not return to You void! Father! Into Your Hands I commend My Spirit. And in My Spirit are they, Father. By My Water and by My Blood. From My Cross, Lord. Into Your Hands, Lord. Father, receive My Prayer. Now and forever. Amen. †
