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.
Jesus my Spouse
John 17:20-26
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.
Jesus speaks: I want to be your Spouse. Freedom from attachments will be found in detaching yourselves from anything against God's will.
I must be the primary focus of your lives.
You cannot entertain thoughts that would lead to something against God's will. When thoughts come into your mind to engage in drinks, drugs, sex, relationships that are not according to God's will, you must not give in to them. Your hearts must be pure. My Heart is Sacred, My Heart is All-Pure, Mary's Heart is all-pure. Avoid thoughts that would lead you into any sin. If you entertain the thoughts to a certain degree, then the devil can lead you into acting in ways that are against My Father's will. The temptation is not the sin. The devil will lure you into thoughts in which you entertain some engagement which is not God's will. You think it is innocent, but it begins to get the "ball rolling". Sinful actions are begun in the mind before the external act. This applies, for example, to thoughts of hatred toward your brothers. The devil tries to tempt you into ways that will lead to hatred later in spoken words to your brother.
Your hearts must be pure. You must say, "This is not God's will. I can't continue thinking of this." At that point you focus on Me as your Spouse and Lover. You know it is God's will you are one with Me. You want to please Me. Instead of entertaining thoughts of attachments against God's will, think of Me. Unhealthy attachments lead you away from Me.
You want immediate pleasure and gratification. You entertain thoughts of relief with some thing. It is right to enjoy the pleasures God wishes you to have, but unhealthy attachments to things that you use to not face problems must be dealt with. The example I use is drugs. (It can be drugs, sex, alcohol, overeating, shopping, anything that is done compulsively to relieve pain and not face the pain.) A drug addict uses drugs as a reward. He becomes addicted to the drug. He does not have to face problems or life. The alcoholic lives for his drink. He endures life knowing he will reward himself with alcohol. Many people live their whole lives looking for a mate to love them, and then they think they will feel good. The relationship isn't to mutually love, it is to help with the crying pain within because they need love to numb pain inside of them. They avidly search for someone to fill them. This can turn into addiction to another person. Only God fills the heart and soul. You must see Me as the One Who fills you. See Me as your beloved Spouse, live in the now. When you are hungry for love, feel that oneness with Me as your beloved Spouse. Then your love relationships will be more pure. You will give more love to others rather than being slavishly depending on another's love to make you feel good. Oh My children, how precious you are to Me. I love you so, I died for you. I want to be the Bridegroom of your soul.
Refrain: A Song from Jesus
February 23, 1999
A City on a Hill Shines to the World
February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus speaks: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!
February 23, 1999, 5:30 a.m.
Jesus speaks: Five years later I ask this of you, My beloved ones.
First: Every day to pray to Me as your Spouse, consecrating your hearts to Jesus and Mary and praying the prayer "A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul."
DAILY MESSAGE - Given April 21, 1999
Messenger: Mount the cross with Him, feel the sin, from the vilest sin to the slightest sin, all the sins of men. Christ is the Divine Reaper, the One Who offers the perfect sacrifice to His Father. We should experience the deepest offering of oneself united to the Father in the most complete oneness. Should not the priest feel this immense sorrow for these most vile sins being committed today? The priest mounts the altar of Sacrifice, the children of the Father and Mary present, the whole body of Christ united to the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we pray with our whole being for the release of grace and mercy on this world and our Church.
I feel as if I will pass out from the desire so deep in my soul to serve Him and offer sacrifice. The sorrow within my heart is an immense ache for the sins committed by men. My soul desires to go through Mary's Immaculate Heart to offer the purest sacrifice.
Oh God, hear my prayers. Oh my God, I truly cry to Thee, my Beloved, have mercy on us and the whole world.
DAILY MESSAGE - April 24, 1999, given April 23, 1999
Jesus speaks: My shepherds, focus on Me and My children that are dying, being murdered, slaughtered. These are the children you must focus on, not the ones praying and asking for hope.
Oh My children, I cry HELP ME, PLEASE HELP ME.
Quit being selfish and wanting your way. Work together, share each other's pain and sorrow, BUT DON'T TAKE My place in another's life.
I AM YOUR SPOUSE. When you love anything more than Me, money, power, sex, food, drink, drugs, you are unfaithful to Me.
I love you so much and want you holy. I want your love. I want you as My spouse. You, I love, I want to share your love most intimately.
What is the degree that you have allowed yourselves to be seduced by the world?
OH HELP ME! DO NOT FIGHT AND BE DIVIDED, do not sin in any way in your dealings with each other. It is a ploy by Satan to get you away from Me.
Oh child, I love you so much. I am Jesus.
Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:
Q: How do I feel I can better share my love with you when I develop more my spousal relationship with Jesus?
