Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“My disciples must be free like a butterfly. The cocoon and webs, which restrict freedom, are the evil one’s tactics of restricting love. Be free by loving My ways and My words, instead of loving the world and people through sensual passion, which controls and paralyzes the spirit. My true followers understand this love and denial. It is their relatives who cause misery of the flesh by wishing to restrict the freedom of their love of the spirit, by controlling and attempting to cause guilt or instill fear!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“Catholic guilt.” That’s an expression that’s been around a long time, and while I do believe accountability is important, the “authority” behind who we are, and many who have been proclaimed leaders by those in places of authority, have failed us on many levels. It’s the hypocrisy and lack of love that church leaders and parents have instilled on children and adults over decades that has caused distrust, hurt, low self esteem, and even suicide. While Jesus has called us to love, our authority figures have called us to “discipline,” and obedience to themselves as opposed love of Jesus and His call to spread the Gospel. They’ve created a culture of fear, as opposed to a culture of love, and for this, their credibility has been shattered in ways that will be very difficult from which to recover. On the other hand, more “liberal” church voices as of late have been rolling too far in another direction as they fail to call us to accountability, and have created an enabling environment where sin doesn’t matter at all, and have watered down Jesus’ words to fit their own narrative. The yin and the yang have become so separated from each other that any common focus has become compromised, and neither love nor accountability exist amongst the masses. Our “narratives” have become so dichotomized by our political factions, that we’ve become incapable of recognizing truth, even when it’s right in front of us.
This is why it’s so important that we as Christians put our focus on Jesus Himself, immerse ourselves in the lessons from the scriptures and the prophets, and put every aspect of our being into recognizing all truth through Him, as opposed to leaning into the “politics of the day.” We must take time every day to lean as deeply into Him as our souls will allow, and create a process that allows us to grow further into Jesus and His will for us every day that we manage to exist in this physical plane. We are called to love, and we are also called to truth. We cannot exist without both, and that’s why it’s so important that we seek Him “as wise men do,” place ourselves at the foot of the cross in humility, and allow Him to walk us through this world as we shine our light on others through, with, and in Him. That we keep ourselves in a mode of honestly asking Jesus what He would do, as opposed to asking others “what would Jesus do,” because only Jesus Himself holds the “keys to the Kingdom,” and knows the path to Heaven as He has proclaimed and promised. Jesus said “Come, follow Me.” (Matthew 4:19) It doesn’t get any simpler or more truthful than that. May we all remember those two simple words, as we walk with Him in the Truth and the Light, remaining all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol II
DISCIPLESHIP
MARCH 12, 1990
My dear one, if My people wish to be My disciples, they must be free in spirit. They must deny the sensual passion of love they have for their spouse, children, brothers and sisters, mother and father. The love they have for their close ones must yield to one love, Mine! They must deny themselves and even ‘hate in a holy manner’ their being, and surrender to My love. My love is a freedom.
Love your families and close ones by loving their spirit, not with the sensuality of love bound by control. Learn to hate this type of heaviness of love. When I say, ‘hate in a holy manner, I do not mean hatred, I mean denying the passions of love, but loving with the freedom of the Spirit. All must deny himself, and those he loves, in order to follow Me and yield to My love. However, love those by My Spirit.
My disciples must be free like a butterfly. The cocoon and webs, which restrict freedom, are the evil one’s tactics of restricting love. Be free by loving My ways and My words, instead of loving the world and people through sensual passion, which controls and paralyzes the spirit. My true followers understand this love and denial. It is their relatives who cause misery of the flesh by wishing to restrict the freedom of their love of the spirit, by controlling and attempting to cause guilt or instill fear!
All must yield to the Father’s love, a love that is not of human standards, but one which is of Divine. Those, who know Me, know of My love and accept with humble resignation. It is the only way to freedom.
Man worries far too much! If he worries, he should worry about the richness of virtue. However, mind you, this worry must not be anxious or painful. Good is the enemy of anxiety, fear and haste. To be free, you must be peaceful, peaceful in victory and peaceful in defeat! You must be peaceful at work and be constant and confident. You must be peaceful, even in your tears, when you have displeased God. You must not be angry with yourself when you fall, for anger is only a symptom of pride and lack of confidence.
When you sin, say, ‘Father, forgive me, for I am weak. You are aware of my weakness, which overwhelms me. Help me to be free from the stain of sin, and keep me faithful to your Divine Word.
My disciples submit freely to this type of love and peacefulness. They walk with Me by the freedom of spirit. They do not deceive themselves by using their handicaps to justify themselves in their feelings of sorrow. If you wish to be My disciple, you will take My words into your heart, and show Me your heart’s desire through your actions.
This, child, concludes this lesson today. Receive My blessings on this day of your creation into the world, your birth, and rejoice as you celebrate with My angels in holy song.
Peace and Ad Deum.
