Messenger:                  When God asked me to publish Blue Book
                            I He asked me to open my arms wide and to
                            show the world my heart.

                                In the messages — God asked me to write
                            and not hold back.

                                Today so many souls have been led back
                            to daily communion through the Blue
                            Books and adoration.

                                I must do what Jesus tells me despite
                            what someone tries to do to block me.

                                I see myself on a ladder and God is
                            asking me to deliver His message — sometimes
                            people are around my feet trying to block
                            me. On these 5ths and 13ths tremendous grace
                            is released for the souls; for all of us for
                            healing, for the priests, the Church and the world.
                            Much of the world ignored Mary's visits
                                in 1994 and 1995 when Mary and sometimes
                                Jesus appeared every day. One man said
                                "Why are going in there, no body believes
                                you" — I went anyway —
Some said about
                                Blue Book one people do not believe me —

                            That was 13 years ago. Think of all of the work
                            since then in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
                            Then Mary appeared at Clearwater — 7 1/2 years,
                                but many still did not come to pray.

                            In the barrenness of Elizabeth's womb —
                            John came.

                                In the dark of the night Jesus woke me
                            to give me Blue Book I, II and III and the plan of
                            the Shepherds of Christ Movement —

                                Yes, Jesus is my rear guard and fore guard —
                            I know oneness with Jesus — Fr. Carter died
                            and Jesus gave me the vision of the Shepherds of Christ.

                                I have been on the ladder fighting the
                            throng beneath who want their vision — I
                            have the vision of Jesus. But those
                            involved in His vision may want self-ish
                            gain — want their vision and try to fight
                            for it —

                                A road opens wide and at the end is
                            home — on both sides many side streets
                            enter in — there are many pit falls —

                                Satan is the great deceiver he tells
                            people to do it their way and even
                            when they know they are wrong —
                            they can stay stuck because of pride.

                                A woodpecker — pecks away until
                            the hole is so big, a big problem occurs.

                            Satan is like this.

                            A person can get messages, promptings from
                                satan and they know the disharmony
                                         with God's truth and guess
                                                 what — they open up
                            the hole with little lies to themselves —

                            Jesus hung His arms open —

                            Jesus came a bare baby —

                            Deception is the devil's game —

                            Not telling oneself the truth is what
                                keeps people in sin —

                            I have a calling —

                            God wants us to lead souls to Him —

                            If I lie about the calling to myself
                            I will live a life of dischord and think
                            of all the work that is not done for souls
                            while

                                1)  I ignore my calling

                                2)  manipulate and block God's work
                                            for my selfish gain

                            I looked into the face of Jesus and I saw
                                  His pure giving for souls —
                            but I knew what I was holding
                            on to was not right and I couldn't give
                            Jesus what He wanted because I
                            wouldn't let go —

                                     I wanted my way —

                                    Loving God is doing God's will —

                                    Nursing wounds day long is
                                          really not productive.

                                    Healing wounds in ourselves —
                                         can only occur if I
                                                             decide I have
                                    a problem.

                                Wounded children become wounded adults —

 

                        Today's Gospel

John 1: 43-51

The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existed before me." I did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might be revealed to Israel.’ And John declared, ‘I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on him. I did not know him myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, "The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit." I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.’

The next day as John stood there again with two of his disciples, Jesus went past, and John looked towards him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God.’ And the two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned round, saw them following and said, ‘What do you want?’ They answered, ‘Rabbi’—which means Teacher—‘where do you live?’ He replied, ‘Come and see’; so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. 

    One of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother and say to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’—which means the Christ— and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John; you are to be called Cephas’—which means Rock. 

    The next day, after Jesus had decided to leave for Galilee, he met Philip and said, ‘Follow me.’ Philip came from the same town, Bethsaida, as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.’ Nathanael said to him, ‘From Nazareth? Can anything good come from that place?’ Philip replied, ‘Come and see.’ When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, ‘There, truly, is an Israelite in whom there is no deception.’ Nathanael asked, ‘How do you know me?’ Jesus replied, ‘Before Philip came to call you, I saw you under the fig tree.’ Nathanael answered, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel.’ Jesus replied, ‘You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You are going to see greater things than that.’ And then he added, ‘In all truth I tell you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.’
 

January 5, 2007 message continues

Messenger:                 Purity is obeying God's commandments.

                                  Telling ourselves — right is wrong and
                                       wrong is right in our case is the
                                       devil's way.

                                   Mary warns about this —

                                   Being loving means giving of one self.
                            Christmas was a time of giving. God so
                            loved the world He came as a baby.
                            Jesus, the Savior of the world.

                                Into a depraved state — God came
                            full of joy and love. The poor banished
                            children of Eve walked in the shadow
                            of death — the Savior promised came
                            a baby in the womb of Mary.

                                Why did God come?

                                For a few?

                                No — He came to save us all from the
                                              shadow of death.

                                When Jesus' face appeared at Clearwater
                                          it was surrounded by black.

                                Everything must be according to God's
                                         will — In the end it says in
                                         the Bible "no more lies."
