Friday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“All I had was then to abandon further unto death of My own Self, physically and spiritually. Those who are blessed to suffer unto Me, must also be crucified and die to their very selves.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
Is anyone good at “self denial?” I may appear that way on the outside. I’m not even sure about that. We all tend to get wrapped up in vanity and pride, becoming angry when things don’t align according to our plan. But as I reflect on my own failings over the course of the last few months, or even days, I realize that there’s always an important lesson, an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth embedded in every failure, or “derailment.” An opportunity to kneel at the foot of the cross, doing the best I can to hand my ego over to Jesus so I can embrace, feel, and learn what He’s trying to teach my hard headed egotistical self. The part of me that needs to draw attention to myself as opposed to allowing all of the Glory to go directly to God. It makes it even harder when minions of Satan come before us in human form, and rather than bringing peace to a situation, we allow our ego to rule, and engage in a way that ends poorly. Believing we have a duty do correct others, regardless of how absurd, or “narcissistic” they may appear in our eyes. Standing in judgment of things that belong to God, things that we have no business concerning ourselves with. There are in fact demonically possessed people out there who will attempt to pull us in to their lair of hatred and deception, and we have to be aware, and avoid these people at all costs, as engaging them will never, ever go well. I’m not talking about good people whom we merely disagree with, but those who make fomentation of hatred a habit, and remembering that hatred often manifests itself as false displays of virtue. I only mention that because it’s a dynamic that has created more division than unity in our world, and the only course of action we really have in addressing it, is to humble ourselves in prayer, as “calling it out” only tends to push people “back into their corner” in defense, and often that defense can be very ugly.
I pray that all of us, especially myself, become alert in our own awareness in a way that helps us to maintain our light, and to live by example rather than “correction,” as the only people we can really correct are ourselves. Jesus calls us to love. That’s it. May we make that our priority, as we work to remain all in, and totally His. In perfect love.❤️🙏

Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol IV
SELF DENIAL
(Before Cross at Lourdes Shrine; 10121/91)
MY dear one. as I was dying on the Cross, I looked in
despair for My Mother in hopes that She would comfort Me and be by My side in My last moments of agony.
She gave Me hope and love for My broken body. I could not find Her because the blood dripped into My eyes and My vision was blurred! In despair I thought, Where is My love to comfort Me? Has She, too, abandoned Me?’ All I had was then to abandon further unto death of My own Self, physically and spiritually. Those who are blessed to suffer unto Me, must also be crucified and die to their very selves.
Self denial is the ultimate self death route. Choose only to accept those things that give glory to God. If it pleases you and does not bring glory to God, then it is not self denial! Do not deceive yourself to think that it is. Be careful, as you get closer to My Kingdom spiritually, that you are not deceived to think that you are living in self denial when, in fact, you are not!
Self denial is an emptiness, not only of physical pleasures, but also spiritual! Avoid spiritual gluttony. Abandon totally in your pain to the emptiness of self death, as I experienced and lived out for you. This I have done for you, that I experienced even the abandonment spiritually of My Father and My Be loved Mother, My treasures. Many wish to know the key to self denial. My answer is to avoid all pleasures of self which do not give glory to God, and do not influence yourself to believe that, because it is your desire, it would always bring glory to God.
Pray that the discernment and strength to self death, because of your love and desire to please Me, will always remain as the primary choice in your heart ABOVE your own desires.
Accept only to live out those experiences and things which bring glory to God.
Beware, also, of spiritual gluttony. Allow Me to even strip you of spiritual enlightenment to achieve total unity in abandonment through self death.
Self denial is the way to embrace My Cross and die to the world, only to gain life. Peace, My dear one. Peace to you in My death on this cross.
