29. Faith
Little one, let us continue now from the point where we left off:
Faith is the key element in which free will can be used by each person. The gift of faith is given from Me. Every human being is given this precious gift when created. How it is applied results in the depth of spiritual advancement and security within My Divine Will that each person attains.
Abraham used his gift of faith. It is because of his trust and faith that he was able to perform miracles. He did not doubt. He did not worry due to his age whether it was impossible for him and Sarah to have a child. His faith allowed him to reach the height of My promises. His trust grew stronger and stronger. He blessed My Name for everything, even before it happened. He knew that anything is possible for God. This privilege belongs to all of humanity. Because Abraham achieved this trust in My words, He became the Father of All Generations and made it possible for all to believe in My Divine promises.
The Old Testament is filled with stories of faith and stories of achievements, both good and evil. My act of salvation redeemed the world. Abraham’s trust allowed him not to be sentenced. He was found not guilty and opened the door for all of humanity to follow suit. My sentence gave humanity the freedom of salvation through fulfillment of My Divine Will.
Heaven could not contain me, so I came to save humanity. My mother taught me and primed me in the ways of culture and study. She tenderly mothered me and guided me as a child. She did not worry what other people said against the Holy Family. She rejoiced in the Truth. The Truth cannot falter. It is the Truth. She knew that what is good comes from God and that His Light never changes.
I am the Light. That is why you see oftentimes the Mother and Child together. Her faith never swayed. That kind of faith is for all people. Like Abraham, all have the opportunity to reach such heights of privilege.
Peace to you.

27. More on Samuel, Saul & David
My little child, let us continue. This scene takes place a couple weeks after my special meeting with My Mother.
My father Joseph, my mother and I were walking up to visit my cousins. As they were joined in conversation, I asked My mother, “What happened next with David after he slew Goliath, knocking that big giant down with a stone and cutting of his head, momma?”
My father immediately looked up at My mother with a stunned look in his eyes. “What’s this now, Son?”
“Oh, you should hear about this story, father. This big mean giant tried to kill David, and David with one stone killed him and cut off his head.”
“The giant had blasphemed God,” Mother said, “but God rescued David and he won!”
“What happened then, Mother?”
“Yes, Mary, what did happen then?” asked my father.
I saw my Mother smile as her eyes gazed downward. I knew then that she would continue on. With a big smile on my face I clapped my hands.
Mother continued as we walked. “Well, when David returned after slaying Goliath, the people gave him so much praise and spoke so highly of him that Saul became jealous. The people were praising David more than King Saul, so he sought out to kill David. David was sent on an expedition by Saul in hopes that he would be killed, but he was instead victorious. It got to the point where King Saul began to fear David because the Lord God was with him.
“Saul tried to marry off his daughter to David, promising her to David if he would win the battles, but in truth hoping the Philistines would kill him; however, David always won. David did eventually marry Michal, who truly loved David, but that did not stop Saul in his obsession to kill David.
“Now Saul’s son, named Jonathon, honored David. It was Jonathon who confided to David his father’s intention to destroy him. Jonathon spoke to his father on David’s behalf about how God brought great victory to Israel through David, and he convinced his father not to beget a crime which would make him guilty of shedding innocent blood. Initially Saul abided and agreed, but his spirit of envy and jealousy continued to brood and intensify to the point that Saul himself attempted to kill David with his sword.”
“What happened, momma? What happened? Isn’t this a great story, father?” When I looked at my father, he didn’t say anything. He just looked at My mother. I wasn’t sure why he didn’t answer me, but I didn’t wait either. So I said to momma, “Go on! Go on!”
“David’s wife, Michal, helped David down the window one night after she informed him that there would be another attempt on his life in the morning. So David escaped.”
At that point my father looked away as he remembered quite well how, in the middle of the night, he too was informed that he should gather me and my mother in order to escape the bite of death.
My mother said, “Joseph, are you well?”
And then my father said, “God is good, and blessed is His Name that he spares the innocent and protects His beloved chosen ones.”
“Well, where did he go, momma?”
“He went to see Samuel, the great seer and prophet. People would prostrate themselves there in prayer and give praise to God.” Then, looking at my father, my Mother said, “It is time to ponder this part of the story, Jesus. We’ll go on later.”
28. The Faithfulness of My Father Joseph
I ran up ahead of my father and mother, picking up stones and tossing them as mother and father spoke privately.
“I remember, Mary,” Joseph said, “that night of terror for me when we had to escape and flee to Egypt to save Jesus’ life. I remember the fear I held in my heart for you and for our loved one; the fear to leave our belongings, to move and start anew; the fear of the responsibility of providing and caring for my family and to protect the Treasure of God Almighty entrusted to me. I was afraid, Mary. I did not know what would happen, where we would go, and how I would supply us nourishment.”
“Yes, Joseph, but God was victorious through your bravery and humility. You said ‘yes’ to God, and we were entrusted to your faithful care. Through your fatherhood, God’s work of salvation will be manifested. Your obedience and faith, Joseph, joins with mine in revealing to the world the Divine Mission of our All-powerful God. Together we can praise God that we share our faith. Our union is blessed by God and through our fidelity will purify families. God will share with the world the Revelation of Jesus on this pilgrimage of faith. Thank you, Joseph, for guarding us and communicating your tender love unconditionally. Our Love has its origin in God the Father. He will watch over us. Your self-sacrifice is a great gift to us. God’s blessing is upon you, Joseph, for accepting the Truth of the angel’s announcement and being the guardian of Jesus, taking on the Fatherly authority as His father.”

26. Samuel, Saul & David
I was sitting in the kitchen area around the table as my Mother was working with a piece of fabric, and I propped My head on My hands as My elbows supported them resting on the table. There I gazed upon the beauty of My mother. In awe I simply looked at her and admired how meticulously and with what great love and patience she wove the cloth. My mother glanced up at me and caught that mesmerizing look in My round eyes.
“What is it, Son?”
“Oh, I thought you’d like to tell me a story about one of the great prophets,” I said. “I mean I will watch you do your chores, and I will listen to you. We’ll have a meeting, a special one, just between you and me!”
“Oh, I see,” Mother responded. “Well, Samuel was a great prophet. He was a seer. They called someone a ‘seer’ when they were closely connected to God. Samuel responded to God when God called Him three times in the night as he was sleeping. He responded by saying, ‘Here I am Lord, your servant is listening.’
“Well during the time of the Philistines, when the Ark of the Covenant was amongst them, there was a King of Israel by the name of Saul. Saul oftentimes was tormented because God had rejected him as king when he disobeyed God’s commands. When Saul was tormented, his servants would advise him to listen to a harpist so that the music would soothe his sentiments and comfort Him.
“David was the son of Jesse. Jesse had seven sons besides David. David was the youngest, and he used to play his harp in the fields when tending to his sheep. He was a young, handsome fellow. Samuel was sent to Jesse because the Lord wanted him to anoint David.
“As his servants advised Saul of the harpist, Saul sent his servants to Jesse to ask if David could join his service. Saul would ask David to play his harp when he was afflicted and anxious. Saul took a great liking to David, and he too became very special to David.
“At that time there was a rugged, big man by the name of Goliath who was a Philistine. He was mean and brutal. The Israelites and the Philistines had gathered together for a big battle. Goliath had defied God and the Israelites. He challenged Saul to send one of his men to fight him. If Goliath killed him, the Israelites would have to succumb to the Philistines. If Saul’s chosen warrior killed Goliath, the Philistines would belong to the Israelites.”
“What happened, momma?”
“Well, Son, David went to Saul and pleaded that he be chosen to save Israel. Saul permitted David to face Goliath. Goliath, seeing David in his handsome youthfulness, swore against God and threatened David, pledging to kill him and leave him for the wild birds to eat his flesh. David, anointed by the blessing of God, responded back with Goliath’s words; and he told him that he would cut off his head because God was on his side and that the Lord of Hosts would save him.”
“Wow,” I said, “what happened, what happened?”
My mother continued, “Well, David selected five smooth stones to use with his sling. Goliath mocked him because he had a metal helmet and sword, and David did not have any armor, only his sling and smooth stones. Saul had given him garments to wear, but David had refused. As the two approached one another, David took a stone and hit Goliath right in the forehead, and down Goliath went. And then, as David had said, he took Goliath’s sword and cut off his head. With that, the Philistines fled in fear.”
There I sat with my mouth open and eyes fixed on my Mother who continued to weave her fabric. “The point of this story, my Son, is that God fights battles not with swords. He knows the incentives of each heart. The battle God fights is a different battle. Those He anoints save His chosen ones. But as always with the anointed and chosen prophets, there are those who become jealous, just as in the days of Saul and David. David did wondrous works, and Saul ended up being jealous of David. Saul planned to destroy him and kill him David, even after he had rescued Saul from the Philistines.
“It is the same today. They will love you, Son, for your good works, and then become jealous of you and seek to destroy and kill you. But God will prevail, and His Temple will never be destroyed. The flesh may die, but the Spirit lives forever.”
With that, my Mother got quiet and she looked flushed. I saw tears welling up in her eyes, so I hopped off my stool, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran outside.

25. Hiddenness
My dear child, do you understand why it is important now to remain “little” and silent in your heart? It is best to keep the treasure of knowledge, which is granted to you from my Father, hidden in the silence of your heart. The more you reveal to people, the more they want to prove themselves worthy. The more they dislike you, they open their hearts for the vice of the sin of jealousy to enter. People will even go as far as to destroy your entire identity if you allow them. It is important to simply observe the actions of others. You will find out who is an authentic friend and follower of my Truth.
My father desires that humanity see Me in each other. See Me in your children. See me in your family, friends, acquaintances, work partners, and even your enemies. It is necessary each moment, as best you can, to be aware that when you are interacting with someone, you see Me.
I could prevent any mishappenings, wars, or unfortunate illnesses from surfacing. I could cure and save nations by providing signs and miracles. I could let the entire world know I am the Just Judge and Savior, but I remain hidden and silent so that I may reveal, purge and sanctify. The time is nearing, however, when all of humanity will have the opportunity to see their wrong doings and inner selves in order to be able to focus on the Truth of God and change; but now and throughout history, I have remained mostly silent and hidden.
When I was seven, I will tell now you what happened:
My mother was sitting on her stool, praying in the evening with my father. I ran up to her, jumped on her lap, put my nose right up to her nose, and looked into her eyes. With my two hands I patted her cheeks and said, “Hi, momma, whatcha doing?”
“We’re praying, Son, and giving praise to the Almighty for His wondrous works today. As the day draws to a close it is very necessary to always thank God for His assistance, and we reflect on how we can do better in our failings and interactions.”
“Yes, Son,” Joseph replied, “how could I perhaps have given more in charity to aid my neighbor at the shop, and how could I have been more compassionate and loving?”
I replied to my father Joseph, “Was someone mean to you today, father?”
“Jesus,” My mother said, “there are many people who may be in need, who desire more, or who are ill and even dying. We ponder why they suffer so much pain alone, and we strive to help them and to love them the best we can without offending their honor or dignity. God desires all to assist one another and to see His Light in each person. In His infinite Wisdom, God deems what is necessary for eternal happiness and safety. We cannot solve everyone’s needs, but we can love them and support them spiritually as they go through their sufferings. The Almighty knows what each person needs for salvation. Many people resist, become angry, have other passions, or do mean things to others; and because of this, some people suffer injustice or are imprisoned, and maybe even killed. God watches from above in hopes that they will choose Life through Love.”
“I will change that, momma. I will save the world so they will no longer suffer. Then when they look at each other, they will see Me,” I said while patting my mother’s cheeks. “Anyone who sees Me will be happy.”
My father Joseph looked at me with a curious look and question in his eyes.
I said, “It’s OK. I will save the world. I will teach them the Truth, and everyone will be happy forever!”
“Even so, Son,” my mother answered, “how you teach is important and that it is done in a hidden, loving manner. As God the Father remains hidden and watchful, so too must you. All must learn the Will of the Father and live it in His Light, Love and Peace.”
“Yes, momma. Alright, I will be hidden.” Off I jumped from her lap and ran into the other room. My parents continued to pray quietly and together in peaceful union.
(Our Lord continues.)
You see, my dear one, my mother and father Joseph taught me, as all parents have a responsibility to teach their children. My Mother taught me the hidden way to follow in the footsteps of My Father the Almighty. That is not to say that I remained silent always, especially when I witnessed wrong doings, like when they made My Father’s House look like a market place. I learned through the social graces of My parents in the world when to speak and when to observe.
God the Father remained silent throughout history in times of devastations and sufferings, even through My Death. This is the Mystical Union. Those who remain loyal and faithful in their suffering are joined in Union with the Trinity. I do not interrupt this Union in times of tragedy or sufferings, unless willed by My Father. Otherwise, I would have spared the tragedies and sufferings of those dear to Me when I walked the earth.
The fulfillment of salvation came through My Sacrificial Offering; and each person has the opportunity through their own suffering to join in this Mystical Union of My Love, Faithfulness and Loyalty to God the Father, just as I was loyal and faithful to Him.
Unfortunately, far too often the free choice in the human will, the lack of love, and poor choices cause suffering and even destruction; such as is the case in war. But even in these occurrences, God the Father gives each person the opportunity to join Him and the Holy Trinity in this Mystical Union.
