Jesus speaks: If the heart does not beat right, if it fails to function, the life does not flow through to the body.
I give you My life. The connection is in the heart. My Sacred Heart is the source of life for the body.
As you live in love, you will connect more and more to one another.
There are many religious orders that are not like a family and that do not operate in love.
How can you assume your role in the Father's family when your own families in religious orders and in families have lost that main connection to one another by failing to discuss the things of the heart?
Much of the conversation today is of a superficial nature. The world discusses the sports, the news, the economy, politics, facts, all the things of factual nature.
You were created to love. If your family is focused on the world and trying to be like everyone else, you are missing the unique beauty with which the Creator created each and every special soul.
My children, look at your faces, see how different they are. The Father looks into the heart. Every heart is from a uniquely created soul.
When each person is realizing his full potential according to God's will, there will not be jealousy and a struggle for power.
Reference October 3, 1993 Blue Book I and I quote from Blue Book I:
October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30a.m.
Jesus speaks: I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.
Do your own work. Don't be envious of your brothers. Don't hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother's work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.
Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.
Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.
All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones.
Jesus speaks: In the Shepherds of Christ Movement there must be this connection in the heart. All are united in love with one another. In a moment I can give you everything you need. I can rain money from the sky. America, you have made money your god.
I come to form the hearts in love. It was the consuming love in My Heart for souls that I felt when I gave Myself on the cross.
Do you have this consuming love for one another? You must be loving. You operate from your hearts. You operate as a body. You walk hand in hand.
A family that knows love will work to full potential. People wander, for they are hungry and not being fed. The devil has lured your children from the kitchen table to the things of the world. What has happened to the family meal?
You will reestablish relationships, intimately united to one another as a family, living in love, bearing with one another as the Father intended from the beginning. In the garden of Eden they were given such gifts, they were told to obey.
I want love. I will reward you with funds when you operate in love. You must grow to be likened to the family the Father wishes.
It is in your prayer you will connect in your hearts in love. Through this power in your prayer as you are united as a body in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass great good will be accomplished. You must plead to the Father in the name of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. You plead as a body in love.
The connection is in the hearts. I reference a message of June 19, 1996. You operate in your hearts, not just to get the job done. You operate to do the will of God.
Every person has a free will. It is the desire of the Father that men act freely in love, doing all with the desire to want only to please the Divine Master, to love Him and serve Him.
What good does it do you to do a lot of work you think is important if it is not His desire for you to do it?
I tell you this, God wants peace on this earth. I tell you this, the Father looks down and He wants souls operating in love. Force is not love.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart all men will give themselves willingly in love serving God. They will live every moment with their whole desire being to serve God willingly.
There is such power and energy in the actions of one who serves willingly. There are all different ways of performing a task. If the desire within the individual is to serve God and all his energy to perform it is willed through love, the task is accomplished exactly as God wishes. Many do tasks unwillingly, they hold a grudge while they do it and later they explode with bitterness and anger and cause everyone so much grief.
What do you say of a mother who cooks and cleans and builds up hatred and bitterness as she serves? What do you say of the man who goes to work to earn money for the family, but the whole time is angry because he feels he is being used, saying all should "fend" for themselves. You teach your children to serve and take their fair share of the responsibilities. In the world today, some children think they should be served.
You must operate as the Father wills. If all were living according to the Father's will in one mind and one heart, if all performed their duties in love to please God and serve Him and help their brothers, you would be living in peace on the earth.
You are divided because some do the Father's will, some do not. In many churches, families, schools, institutions, etc., there are those trying to live by God's will, those living by their own will. Some institutions are operating where everyone tries to do his own will. There is disconnection when people do their own will.
Matthew 10:34-36 Jesus, the cause of dissension
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth: it is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword. For I have come to set son against father, daughter against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law; a person's enemies will be the members of his own household.
I give you this diagram:
CHURCH
FAMILY
SCHOOL
Please ask Debby and Dan to draw these diagrams.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart all will be living in peace dwelling in My Heart and the Heart of My Mother.
Dwelling in Our Hearts, they will be conformed to the will of God, living in peace.
I ask you to study these diagrams.
I ask you to consider consecration of hearts to Our Hearts.
Mary stood beneath My cross, I died on the cross.
I ask for the picture of Eden and China, Indiana.
Eve DID HER WILL
THE NEW EVE
THE NEW ADAM
"THY WILL BE DONE"As people give their hearts in consecration, they are united in one mind and one heart.
If children in schools consecrate their hearts before classes begin, they are united in one heart and one mind.
If people in churches are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, they are united in one mind and one heart.
If people in families are united in consecration, they are united in one mind and one heart.
At EVERY gathering people should begin the gathering with "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."
To have a victim is not to be united as one. I was the victim.
This is not oneness.
ALL united against one.
This is not love.
I ask you to reference the message November 25, 1997.
EXCERPT FROM A MESSAGE FOR LEADERS, APOSTLES AND OTHERS ON LOVE AND DIVISION
November 25, 1997
Jesus speaks: Today is a day of joy for you, My shepherds. I will weed out the sheep from the goats, I will refine the beauteous ones as a refiner would care for gold. I will make you sparkling and white, glistening and glorious in the end. You are to be purified.
I ask you to offer every Mass for healing. The wounds in your ministry will begin to open. Every hour you must pray to the Father in My name through the intercession of Mary, for healing and for the Holy Spirit.
As quoted from the November 3 Message:
"You are being tested in fire as never before. I am allowing you to die to your imperfections by bringing them to light. It is a big earth that we must conquer and people have not responded as I have hoped to Our Lady's Vision in Florida…
I will help you shepherds, I say to you "hang in there", keep moving ahead, the funds will come, you must pray hourly, I am teaching you to be entirely focused on Me. How would you learn if I made your journey a weak journey? You are committed since December 22, l996 when I told you I would bring you to your knees, you have fallen under the weight of My cross and gotten up again and again under the duress and strain.
I am proud of you My shepherds, you must be strengthened, for the days of slaughter are at hand. A little trimming here and there, will they even notice."
You will be the greatest lovers for I Myself have taught you to love. In order to grow in oneness you must die to your imperfections. I give to you this command: You must love God with your whole heart and whole soul and whole mind and love your neighbor as yourself. You must love, shepherds. You are great apostles. Embrace one another with a holy kiss. My beloved ones, you must love according to the Father's Will. Love is freely given. Do not hang on any person when hugging them, this is not holy love, this is control, one gives love and gives the recipient a chance to accept or reject, to force yourself on another is not holy love. How do you wish to receive love from another? One does not force his affections on others. This is not kind. You are kind and loving My shepherds, you give freely. You allow others to receive your love by accepting it or rejecting it. Never, My shepherds, do you force or control another bodily. I must state these rules. There is love according to the Father's Will, it is holy love, love that is rooted in the Spirit. It is freely given and waits for the acceptance of the recipient. A mother may affectionately love her child and hold and kiss the child. The child is the recipient of the love. A mother does not grab the child and force affection on a child that does not wish to respond. There is love and a loving response. With this comes union. If one gives, one accepts. The mind of both are united by an act of the will on each part. Any forcing of affection on a person not wishing to respond, or forcing without realizing the willing response of the other is wrong.
Love according to the Father's will must be holy love. Caresses must be rooted in love and willing consent by all involved.
To love another is a great responsibility... There must be genuine love, genuine affection, giving and receiving.
Love is not for manipulation and control, love is not haughty but kind.
Any action rooted in love, loves all, it does not separate and join some and exclude others.
Love in a room must move always toward loving union of the whole. A mother may affectionately stroke a child, a husband - a wife, a boy friend - a girl friend, but the general consensus in a room is for holy love, all being members of My Body.
I give you this diagram:
To force another to stay in an embrace is unloving, it is controlling. To tickle is to control the other unwillingly. Love gives, love expects a willing response.
To force in any way is unloving. There is much abuse in your world in loving relationships, they appear to be love but actually hurt other parties.
Love loves all, love does not hate one's brother, love is not competitive, it does not seek for self gratification.
I speak to you now of division. I am the head of the body, the members must be one and loving to all. To unite to one and exclude others for the purpose of division is wrong.
You are in a room, child. It is time to consecrate your hearts. All members in the room must consecrate their hearts, Satan will try to divide them.
There are several people in a room, say five. Two can unite, three can unite, but all are united in love. There is healthy dividing in which people divide to accomplish certain tasks.
Satan aims to bring about division always. Unhealthy division is when the members do not feel good with each other so they divide to get apart.
You My shepherds are to be one flock in the mystical Body of Christ.
You unite always in great love.
I am angry when there is great bitterness in the hearts. You must strive to not be divided.
It is possible for two of the five to unite and exclude the other members in unhealthy ways. It is necessary when you operate with one another to always seek oneness, harmony and love.
On the children's school yard at school, Susie joins with Mary and is nasty to Ann, Clare and Joe. This is a very cruel form of division, for it gives love to some and disapproval to others.
In many families there is the victim, more properly titled the "scapegoat."
They are accused for every illness in the family, they are blamed, they live a life of great suffering. Dysfunctional families have great dysfunctional ways of interacting.
You must pray hourly to your heavenly Father, in My name, that you will not divide.
I was the victim. When a child is the scapegoat or victim, all are against one. It is very unholy, it is damaging, especially to a child.
Why do you look to hate when My way is love? Why do you wish power when all power comes from God? Every person who operates in authority must read this message daily. Authority comes from God, there must be structure in your Movement. The devil will operate in dysfunction, you are to operate as the holy family, living according to the Scriptures and the commandments. I give to you My word here. The existing world will soon pass away and men will live as one, operating according to the Father's plan. There will be a new earth - The Holy Spirit will renew the face of the earth. You must invoke Him hourly.
I was the victim. You must love all. In every community the members are dealt with in love. There are imperfections and faults. Every person in authority acts in Christ's name as Christ lives in him.
This is the Father's plan for salvation. Man sinned and he must make amends to God.
You will live as one. The messages that are corrective messages or warnings are given in great love that you will be one. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in perfect love.
I give you life, I came, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. See Me in the Passion, I was the victim. They piled the sins of the world on My back. You are to love in holy love, anything that is not holy is not love and does not come from God. Love Me My chosen ones, this is a message of love from Me…
I love you, Jesus.
