A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.


Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.


Jesus speaks: When I give you rules to live by, it is because I love you. I impart knowledge to you to live by.

Follow My will, it is the will of the Father.

Please put on the message July 2, 1994, from Blue Book IV.

I speak to you here. Oh, how I love you. If I correct you it is to lead you into a deeper union with Me, to ward off danger, to take you closer to My most Sacred Heart.

Oh, little child of the Father, I love you so much.

Love, Jesus.


Message of July 2, 1994, From Blue Book IV

The Holy Spirit

Messenger: Hot air balloons filled with air set afloat by fire. We are filled up by His Spirit and set afloat by the fire of His love. We become weightless and float in the sky above. We are floating, letting His Spirit take us about. We are united with the heavenly powers. It is the power of His mighty love.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love. Send forth Thy Spirit and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

As I die to my false self, God lives more in me. Help me to die to myself. You, Lord, love my brothers, You gave the last drop of Your Blood, the last beat of Your Heart for them. The more I die to self, the more the God Who loves my brothers lives in me and He ardently loves my brother.

The more I think of myself, the less I love my brothers. As the false self diminishes, the God Who is united to me operates in me more and more.

Help me to love as You love. As I surrender to You, I become in greater union with You and it is You Who operates in me more and more. You loved my brothers to Your death. You love my brothers, all my brothers this very day. You would die for each brother this day. It is God Who loves through us that loves our brothers with His love. It is He Who operates my very being.

We die to the false self, we increasingly receive His living water. We remain alive in Him. He fills us to the brim, we are vibrant in Him. He is Life. We are made anew, like the clean water. We are filled with clean, living water. We operate with vibrancy, force and spirit.

Jesus speaks: I came to this earth out of such love for you, My beloved ones. I was born a mere human and I came to love you and they persecuted Me. Those whom I loved, they persecuted Me! They tore My flesh. They numbered all My bones. They were My beloved ones. How it hurts to love and be rejected and persecuted by those you love.

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I know the pain of torture. No matter what they do to you, they did it to Me.

To My death I suffered for intense love of you.

When they persecute you and holler every slanderous thing against you, pray to your heavenly Father for strength to deal with your attackers. It is in your sufferings you are drawn closer to Me.

Message of July 16, 1995

Mary speaks: My dear, sweet children,

I call you my children because you are my little children. I mother you as I mothered my Son, Jesus. I love you more than an earthly mother could love you. I love each one of you with a personal love, more than you can love any of your own children.

I call you to come to my Heart. I carried my Son, Jesus, in my womb. I carried Him, a Child, in my arms. I held Him in my arms under the cross. I hold you now, my sweet children, in my arms and press you to my Heart.

When you are cold and alone, come to my arms and I will press you to my Heart and take you to the Heart of my Son, Jesus. His Heart is burning with love for you. You, my little children, are never alone. How dearly I love you! I send you my sweet love.

I am Mary, your Mother. I am with you every second of your day. Come into my Heart, I will protect you.

I love you. I am Mary, your heavenly Mother.

Message of July 16, 1995

Mary speaks: My dear little children,

I want to tell you of the sweet, gentle love of my Son. Many do not know how sweetly my Son loves you. Be still and let Him talk in your heart. His Heart is sweet and gentle, always loving and waiting for your love. He longs to hear you tell him of your sweet love. In all your sufferings, He is forever with you. He allows you to suffer to bring you closer to Him. Turn all your sufferings over to Him and offer the sufferings as prayers for the priests and ministers of this world. Pray for all the religious of this world. I am Mary. The Father hears the prayers when prayed from your heart. Offer your prayers and sufferings to the Father. Offering your sufferings to Him is a most powerful prayer. The Father loves you so much. My sweet children, I am Mary, and I thank you for responding to my call.

Do My Work

God's Blue Book I Cover

October 17, 1993

Jesus speaks: I come and you open the doors of your heart. I enter and you are made whole. Your hungry soul thirsts for only that which I can give. Open the gates. Let Me enter and wash you with My Blood. My Blood is the Blood of salvation. Nothing in this world can compare to My Blood. It is there for you, it cleans you, it feeds you. It is your all. Come and be nourished by Me. I have all you need.

Your time is not your time. I loan it to you. I loan you your time to do My work. This is your day, but it is My day to work in you. You are doing as you ought. You feel tired and worn out and you wonder why. My work is work. It is not a puffy little job. It is a big job. It is the most important thing you do. You keep doing My work and then wonder why you are exhausted. My work is hard. It is struggling up a hill in a world that has lost its way. People are closed. The world is pulling you everyplace but to Me and then you wonder why the exhaustion. You pray many hours a day and talk many more trying to sell My wares. It is hard work. People reject you. They are closed. They are not of Me. They are all busy with their stupid earthly lives. I sit and watch and they are so blind. What good does it do a man to run down a road if it is the wrong one. Hold tight, My little flower. You are doing My work and it is tedious. It is hard work. It is the best work to do. Do not wear yourself out talking on the phone. Plant My seeds and be on your way. Others must do their own seeking of Me. You only lead them to the water. You do not have to stand around and see if they will drink or not and prompt them to do so. They must read My messages and come to Me for their feeding.

You do not feed your brothers all their food. You plant the seeds. They come to Me and they are fed by Me. Hold tight to all you are doing. It is hard, hard work. I am giving you strength. Each day is a day's work, indeed. No one but I knows how much work you do in a day. You have touched a lot of hearts in one day. Be glad as each day unfolds. Be glad I am using you as My instrument to reach many. Know that this is work. You should be tired at the end of the day. I am your God and I love you, My little one. I play the organ at Mass with you. I love the music. I love people to sing. It is of great comfort to Me and My mother for all the singing. Keep singing and playing. It is so soothing to our hurt hearts. I love to hear My children sing. I love you all so much!

Keep spreading My word and doing My work. You feel tired because it is indeed work, but I will supply you with extra energy and blessings for all you do. I need you to do this work for Me. You always bounce back and go full steam ahead. That is Me! All of a sudden you are refreshed and wonder what happened. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, but I have all the power. The very hairs of your head are numbered. I give you strength when you are doing My work. Oh, how I love you. I am pleased with your work. Your weariness is worth it. I will give you a bath in My love and you will go and feel like flying. I am your love, little, one. Thank you.


Messenger: Every month on the 17th of the month, Jesus called a meeting from February 17, 1994, until the meetings on the 13th of the month began October 13, 1996.
