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 the 6:20 prayers.


October 23, 1999

Jesus speaks: My child, are you one body in the Shepherds of Christ? Is the hand one with the foot? Are you as a body, or are you divided?


Ephesians 1:22

He has put all things under his feet, and made him, as he is above all things, the head of the Church;


Jesus speaks: When one raises his heel over Me, when I am not King over him, he is not acting as a member of My Body should act. When one is acting as I desire, under My feet, I am his Head.

Who is the head of each person?

If they have their own program against My will, they have made themselves head.


Philippians 2:12-14
Work for salvation

So, my dear friends, you have always been obedient; your obedience must not be limited to times when I am present. Now that I am absent it must be more in evidence, so work out your salvation in fear and trembling. It is God who, for his own generous purpose, gives you the intention and the powers to act. Let your behaviour be free of murmuring and complaining


Colossians 3:15

And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful.


Messenger: All authority comes from Him. If it does not come from Him, it is not the right authority.

If the leaders were perfect, then it would be easier to let go and trust them, and things would operate according to His will. But many, not even realizing it, act in their own names.

Leaders must be perfected more and more acting in God will. Those under these leaders must trust and follow them.

He is the Good Shepherd. He walks ahead and they follow Him. They hear His voice and follow Him.

The one who is constantly questioning those in authority puts a cross on his own back and puts a cross on the back of the person in authority.  (Like a child always questioning the parent and giving him a hard time. This is really a difficult situation.)

The leaders must lead, but if they are selfish and not doing God's will, who wants to trust them?

Jesus speaks: You must follow authority willingly.

Authority must be from Me. Those in authority must live as best as they can according to the Father's will.

If a person in authority changes direction because of the way the children act or because of the way the wife or husband has treated him or her or because he or she is strapped for money or because one lost power on the job, the person is allowing one's personal life to affect one's exercise of authority.

The greater authority one has in the Movement, the Church, the world, the greater should be the personal holiness of the person, so the person is most likened to Me and acting in My name.

What every person in the Movement, the Church and the world "dishes out" to others, affects everyone else.

Many are "dumping". I use this term "dumping". A person in a family or a job can transfer personal feelings, past history, whatever, to a life now in a community. He can transfer his bad feeling, anger, etc., to the Movement, the Body of Christ and the world.

If you feel bad today and look for someone outside yourself to blame it on, you act incorrectly. When you feel bad inside, look inside, check your relationships in the past, don't be so quick to try to blame it on something or someone outside yourself. All must work on themselves. Work on personal holiness. With the upcoming holidays, people reunite with old family members and where they felt insecure in the past and have lost power with family members in their past dealings, in an attempt to resolve unsolved problems, many times they transfer the problem to someone in their lives today and try to "work it out" on them. This is done without realizing how they have acted to get empowered or settle the conflict.

Meetings with siblings and family members can bring up old, insecure wounds from hurt relationships. If you blame those in your present life and fail to look inside and analyze your hurt feelings, you may cause great pain for the people you live with today. Own your own feelings and deal with hurt feelings inside.

A person that is swayed by mood swings because of past hurt relationships, and acts as a leader who allows these moods to affect his administering authority, can hurt many others.

This is a problem in communities where people are swayed by their emotions and reach out to blame others when they don't feel good, feel insecure, threatened, or have lost their power.

If one acts in a community, the whole community suffers if the person is acting incorrectly.

Can you see how the Church is affected by the personal life of priests? They must work through old wounds in relationships and must be pure to handle decisions in the church. They can not be swayed by angry parishioners or by people with power and money.

A priest must spend private time with Me so he is fixed in the Father's will. You must pray for your priests.

Some people who are angry affect others. The person in authority is afraid of the angry person and can give in to his demands. Satan works many times through angry and demanding persons. Be leery of this. Do not give in automatically to one who demands his way. Question if he has authority to do it.

It can be devastating when a leader acts incorrectly when in authority.

Many times you want a solution, you want an end to a problem, you force the issue. It is the wrong solution, it is the same as a false message. Authority comes from God, you must want His will.

All persons in the Movement, a community, a family, the Body of Christ, affect others in the community by their attitude and their relationship to authority.

I ask you to read and live by My Blue Book messages.

I speak to you in the Shepherds of Christ. You are more united than ever as members in the Father's family. Your prayers are affecting the whole earth. If you act correctly, it has a tremendous influence on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

As members of the Movement and the Body of Christ, if you act incorrectly, you affect the whole world and the Church.

My Shepherds of Christ members,
I have called you to be a powerful machine in the world, praying as intercessors for the priests, the Church and the world.

You do not realize that when you act erratically as members of a community, as members of the Body of Christ, you are affecting the whole Body. You are connected as one. When one sins or acts selfishly, it affects everyone in the Body.

What about tender loving care for each other?

Selfishness affects everyone.

One person that spends time in pitying himself can affect the whole Movement, the Church and the world. (This is not to imply that you do not need some time in getting in touch with your hurt or wounded feelings by writing letters to Me, but being preoccupied with your own problems and being unproductive must be examined.)

My Father is pleased with your prayers and sacrifices. You have held back My hand and prayed for the whole human race. You are a body of intercessors pleading to the Father for grace and mercy for the whole Church and the world.

If you act in wrong ways, it affects the whole human race. You are not an island.

You must be careful not to transfer your personal problems, or problems you have had in past family settings, to the new community where you live.

Do you love each other?

Now we will see.

Do you love the priests and the Church and the world?

Now we will see.

Because you will be tested and it will depend on "what your hearts are made of" on how well you do.

How are your hearts?

Do you love Me?

Now the bar is higher. Will you withstand the raising of the bar or will you drag everybody down? Will you hold on to your selfish imperfections and look at others instead of dealing with your own faults?

You won't make it if you don't strive for the greatest personal holiness.

The transformed Adam. I will bathe you with My grace when you answer My call and dwell in My Heart.

Every priest tremendously affects the members of the Body of Christ.

Every person that is a member of the Body of Christ affects the Body.

How you pray as a body, the Shepherds of Christ, can affect the whole human race.

You must pray for one another.

You must strive for personal holiness in the doing of God's will.

You must unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in Our pure and holy Hearts.

You have a responsibility as baptized Catholics to pray for one another.

This is My Movement.

You will be held accountable to the extent you neglected this duty to reach others with My message of love.

Please do not persecute the messengers I send.

You persecute the messengers I send and go your own merry way.

MY DEAR PRIESTS,
How you say the Mass, your own personal holiness, affects the world.


October 25, 1999 - Second Message

November 3, 1994 - Love Your Brothers As I Have Loved You

Jesus speaks: I am watching you at the Center. My Heart is an endless furnace of love. I am waiting for your time with Me. I love you each so dearly. Your soul craves My love, but I sit alone and you complain about one another. I love you with an open Heart that is ablaze for love of you. Each child there, I love with the tenderest Heart. I died for each person, I would suffer and die for you this day. My Father created each child His special and loving child. You are a child of God! You are so loved. My Father gave you Me for love of you. The Holy Spirit loves you so intently and wants to give you such love. Love on fire! He wants to lead you to such great love of Me and My Father.

My beloved Mother, who suffered so for love of you, who stood by Me and shared in My Life, appears as Our Lady of Light to light your way to the love of her precious Son. She, who suffered and experienced joy with Me, she who from a young girl to an old woman knew the love of My Heart for you, appears to lead you to such love with My Sacred Heart. She wants you to come to her pure Heart and let her place you deeply in My Heart.

My dear children, loved by My Father and My Mother, let the Spirit sanctify you, let go and be led to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am as present this day as the day I died on the cross. I am present in the Eucharist in My Divinity and Humanity. I am waiting for you in the tabernacle. I am waiting to give you My love. I pour Myself out to you.

You go into battle with your hearts filled with My love. I watch you battle everyday this spiritual battle. I cry out to you to return to holiness. I cry out to you to realize the divine love I pour out to you. Come back to love. Make Me the very center of your life. You will not light your city with hearts that are angry. It is only by the love of God that you will light your city. Come to the burning Heart of Jesus. Come to Him for your love.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I suffered so for those who neglect Me and My most precious love. I pour out to you Myself. I love you no less than the day I died.

Open your hearts to be hearts that are pure. Rid yourself of all hate and anger toward your brothers. Come from a heart that is pure. You cannot love Me if you do not love your brother, all your brothers. Look to your brother for the Jesus that lives in them. You must love every person. I command you to love God with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul. I command you to love your neighbor as yourself.

I gave the last beat of My Heart for your brother. I live in your brother. Your Father created your brother. How can you say you love Me when you do not love your brother? I am in your brother, I love you all. I watch each of you. I love each of you and many times you hate one another. You are often divided because you are not coming to Me for your strength. You need to operate from love. Love one another. I watch you hate one another and then tell yourself you love Me. I love each person. You cannot light your city without the love of God alive in your hearts. To love God you must love your brother. To love your brother, pray to realize My love for you. Pray for grace. Pray for one another. Say the Morning Offering. You are the city of My love. Love gives, love is kind, love is compassionate, love finds its roots in the Eucharistic Christ.

Come to Me and I will pour My Heart out to you. These are the letters of My true love I pour out to you. I died for you. Why do you not think I would send you a letter of My love for you? I love you -- these words are My love letters to you! These messages are My instructions for holiness and love of one another. Love one another as you realize My immense love for you. I talk directly to you and profess My deepest love. I give you songs of My greatest love. LOVE is active, LOVE is from the heart. LOVE is rooted in a pure heart. You cannot hate one person and love Me. LOVE is kind, LOVE is seeing Me in your brother. This is the mighty medicine to light your city of love.


October 25,1999 - Third Message

Messenger: I give You, Lord, my whole heart with all its imperfections. I am a tainted child of Eve. I want You to take my heart with all its wounds and imperfections and put it in Mary's Immaculate Heart to be more pure.

Now I know why I must give my heart to her. I am tainted and I have a fallen human nature. Her Heart is the most perfect Heart of any human person.

She will put my heart in Your Heart. I willingly GIVE YOU my heart to be placed there by my holy Immaculate Mother. Your Heart is the SACRED HEART OF GOD. A GOD-MAN consumed with such fire and love for man that you gave Yourself willingly TO YOUR DEATH for LOVE of ME.

I GIVE MY HEART TO JESUS AND MARY WITH YOU IN LOVE.

I AM A TAINTED CHILD of EVE. I WANT TO BE PURIFIED.

Mary's Heart and Jesus' Heart are all-pure.

I LOVE YOU, GOD.

October 25, 1999 - Second Nursing Home Message

Jesus speaks: I ascended into heaven, My beautiful souls.

I left you behind.

YOU MUST GIVE ME YOUR HEART.

You will know more and more My love when you give Me your heart.

You will know more the love of My Mother.

You must say this all day, all through the day.

I love you so much, My Heart is on fire for love of you.

Jesus.


Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.

What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus can be sung before and after these prayers.

It is desirable to have a big picture of the Ascension when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Excerpt from April 16, 1995 rosary from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary pp. 108-109

  1. Messenger: See Jesus as He raises His arms and ascends into heaven and a cloud takes Him from our sight. We live on faith. We see the consecrated Host but we do not comprehend the great gift we have that He truly remains with us this day in the consecrated Host. God gives Himself to us! We become one in Him when we receive Him in the Eucharist. He gives us His Body.
  2. Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, come to this earth in such great love to save souls, to lead souls to heaven to be with Me forever and ever. How many souls will be lost because of their willfulness and their ways? Pray, My children, for the souls that are in darkness. They hold on to their foolish ways. They turn their backs and go their own way.
  3. Messenger: He went to heaven to prepare a place for us. Heaven is our true home!
  4. Messenger: He ascended into heaven and the gates of heaven were opened!
  5. Messenger: See the souls as they ascend into Heaven behind Jesus. See the souls as they are released from purgatory because of our prayers. See the great mercy of God that He loves souls. God the Father loves us so much that He sent His Son into this world so that we might be in heaven some day.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel when it seems everything and everybody is more important than our union with each other?
