More Patience

“For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 7:14

I need to remember that everything I do, and everything
I have comes from God’s gifts and blessings. Any talent or gifts that God has chosen to bestow upon me are for His greater good, and for the advancement of His Kingdom. Even the work I have done, or will do for Him are for His glory and not mine. We learned in Proverbs that “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.(16:18) While I was born with a skin color, sex, and sexual orientation that once carried certain social advantages, these things never made me virtuous, nor does the lack of them make anyone else virtuous. While society can be tough on us for various reasons, the greatest virtue we can carry is still humility. God calls ALL of us to humble ourselves before Him as Jesus demonstrated, to remember His passion, death, and resurrection so that we can exemplify that humility in the same way that He did, or as He would have us do as we carry His light out into the world. With humility comes understanding, and with understanding comes love and acceptance. Where there is love and acceptance, there is no need for pride. May we remain aware that pride is still the deadliest of sins, May we carry God’s light going forth, and remember that everything we do is for His glory, and not ours. This requires much patience in the world in which we live. I pray that God grant us that patience as we carry His light forward in perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

More Patience
“My dear little one, I am your Jesus of Mercy Who comes
to embrace your soul, to love, to guide, to teach, to pro-
tect and to comfort. I am here with you now, desiring to give
another lesson to the people of My heart. I shall continue to
speak My words and dictate them to you as long as My people
continue to listen and work on overcoming their obstacles by
surrendering to the truth, accepting My love and guidance.
I wish tonight, My little one, to continue on the topic of
patience. I have mentioned patience before, but now I wish
to speak further on the subject. I wish for My people to bear
their tribulations with patience. Bear the offenses against you
for God’s sake, your neighbor’s sake and the sake of your-
self. Whatever good or evil you do, you do for or against
yourself!
Have compassion on those who do evil against you. Have
compassion on their sins. If they do good, offer it to God. If
they do bad, pray for them; have compassion and try to help
them. When someone competes with you, lose if you want to
win! The way of salvation is in the way of losing. If someone
speaks ill of you, bear with patience and help him by speaking
worse of yourself. If someone offends you, bear it patiently for
the love of God and in remission of your sins. Do not offend
anyone! Bear patiently without complaining.
You are blessed, those who keep their sins and the good-
ness of God before their eyes. Do not expect God to reward
you. Blessed are you who do not seek consolation from man
or seek justice! Remember, holy men do good and suffer evil.
It is far greater to suffer and bear patiently an offense against
you than to fast and mortify yourself. What good would it do
to fast and then seek justice for an offense, even if invalid or
not true?
Those who bear their tribulations with patience always keep
their sins before their eyes, and therefore, are not weakened.
It is a great virtue to overcome yourself. Look at yourself and
continually work in yourself, on yourself and for yourself, seek-
ing spiritual consolations. If you overcome yourself, you will
be able to overcome your enemies. Just as good can be twisted
into evil, evil can be turned into something good! This is all in
man. Man has within himself things that only God sees, and so,
can do good as well as bad, contingent on free will.
Therefore, I say to not seek justice or a reward when some-
one has done an injustice or offense against you. You all have
sin and the right to be purified. The quicker you embrace pa-
tience, the less you will suffer and will be saved. Look to God, seek only God, not reward or consolation from anyoneunder Heaven. Do not complain. If you are weak in patience and complain, the more you will be burdened. Fight against vices and treat tribulations and humiliations with patience. Bow
under holy obedience, and the task will be easier for you.
I tell you this because if you are in a state of love, compassion, patience, no matter what destruction were to happen,you would NOT be harmed. It would not hurt you. The devils try harder to disgust you when you endure with patience, or labor fighting insults with kindness. You are being saved,
and they wish for you to live in their own disgust. Whatever
man does to you, he does to himself; so be compassionate
on his sins and be patient.
Look at your own sins and you will see your own
wretchedness, instead of seeking justice or reward. I love
you to teach you! You do not love unconditionally and
do not understand the mystery of My love. You wish to
be blessed and saved without going through purification,
self mortification. You do not want to labor. You want to
be honored. The Father does not bestow His grace on the
proud, but the humble! To be honored, you will be blamed
in order to surface humility which destroys evil, and is the
enemy to sin.
Patience is the virtue to tame the blows of evil through
sin against yourself, and the offenses of others. Pray and
endure. Fight against the vices. Make a conscious effort not
to seek rebuttal in your favor, but look to God to defend
you through your lowliness. Pray. Pray. Pray. Prayer is the
beginning and fulfillment of goodness.
My dear one, be thankful I humble Myself before the
eyes of My Father to teach the truth! My words seem harsh,
but remember, My life is your Way! I AM THE WAY. I am
your crown, and it is by holy patience you walk unto Me. I
chose you. You did not choose Me. If you wish to walk with
Me, you must walk My Way, not your way. Ad Deum.
If these words are harsh to My people, it is because they
choose to walk a different path. All can make judgments
on My words, but it is I Who have the final say. My Father
asked Me to walk the Way for you. Those who are Mine
walk the same Way My Mother did! So can you!! Peace.”

Dryness of the Desert

“In trying to control the situation, searching for freedom of spirit, you have found not life, but the opposite. Finally, in surrendering, peace and freedom, the cool breeze and freshness comes from God to restore you.”(From Gianna below)

We do like the illusion of control, don’t we? We see people living lives of desperation because a loved one has crossed over to a different plane, or an election didn’t turn out the way we had hoped. We immerse ourselves in the loss of something we knew was temporary, yet, instead of opening our souls to God, and His eternal promise, we choose to dwell on the things that we can’t change, causing misery not only for ourselves, but for everyone around us. Self pity becomes our crutch, and the rest of our lives here on earth become compromised because we choose to stay in the temporal instead of opening up to The One who gives eternal life.
Change is assured, and the only thing we can control is how we react to it, and how we choose to live our lives going forward. God offers us a place and a way of being that brings new hope. A place of resurrection in His light that brings peace back to our souls in the awareness of His eternal gift. His Kingdom is here and now, and all we have to do is open our hearts and souls, and say “yes” to Him. To use our pain in love to embrace and give honor and glory to His Kingdom on Earth, that we all get to carry each other home in his precious light. He has the answer and the refreshment for everything we seek or could ever possibly desire. The choice is ours, and God is by far the path of least resistance. May we pour our hearts and souls into Him, that we all exist in His precious and eternal light. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

Dryness of the Desert
“My dear one, in the heat of a hot summer, looking out into the desert, you feel the dry, hot wind beat against your face, and the stillness makes you wonder in the torturous heat how there is life. You begin to thirst and your skin begins to become dry and scorched. Where is the beauty of the desert,
you say. Where are the milky cacti and the budding flowers with bees
suckling the honey?
Your soul, empty, is searching for coolness and fluid to
drink. Where is my God, you wonder, to refresh me and calm
my mind. Where is the gentle breeze of my Jesus? You pray,
you wait, you pray again. You wait..you pray…no answer.
Now you exert anger and more energy. Your tears begin to
stream down your searching, thirsty soul, fighting control. You
wait. You wait, and you wait! Then in silence you surrender,
realizing you are exerting energy without result. You accept,
and now you pray without words.
The clouds now begin to cover the heated sun. Exhausted,
you relax and close your eyes. The sweat streaming becomes
your cooling source. The warm breeze brings a soft and gentle
freshness. You fall into a peaceful sleep.
My dear one, what I have described here is how the soul
in dryness exerts every last energy in the heat of searching for
water to drink, in order to revive itself to life. It is the walk
of the night where the light is so strong it blinds you, and you
become anxious because the beauty of life is taken away. So,
what do you do? You exert all your energy in attempting to
find that beauty and, in the process, you become exhausted.
The sun is so hot, it dries every source of energy from you.
You become more thirsty!
In trying to control the situation, searching for freedom of
spirit, you have found not life, but the opposite. Finally, in sur-
rendering, peace and freedom, the cool breeze and freshness
comes from God to restore you. The desert becomes a garden
of beauty. The mountains shadow the desert and illuminate
their lavender softness with the sunset! Everything that you
thought was dying from the scorch of the heat is now clearly
the radiance of the beauty of the desert.
My point of this lesson, My dear one, is to teach My
people to be still, quiet, silent, in dryness of the soul. WAIT
PATIENTLY for God to show His face to you. Do not be
afraid; do not be anxious. You are not alone. Submit in sur-
render and in acceptance of yourself. Strip open your soul. Lay
bare. Be humble. Remember, humility is grounded in silence.
WAIT, as I have waited. Look within. Be simple. Do not battle
with control. Do you walk against a sand storm, or do you find
refuge and keep still. You cannot control a sand storm! And so
is the soul in dryness. It cannot control. Control will only delay
by causing more blindness. WAIT FOR THE DAWN. WAIT.
DAWN WILL COME, and all will be renewed.
Bless you, My sweet one. Here is the honey now for you
to suckle and nurture your soul in God’s love. Here is the
honey for all My people. HERE I AM. Peace.”

For All Eternity

“I do not want My people for the moment. I want them for eternity.”(From Gianna below)

Eternity is now, precious souls. Every “now” that ever was, and every “now” that ever will be. God promises to be with us and in us for every instant of this life, death, and resurrection that we do and will always endure. We just have to say yes to Him. To allow His love into every interaction, and every aspect of our being. To be His light for all the world to experience, see, feel, and hear. As humans we will fall, and as eternal beings, He will always be with us, in every here and now to rescue us from ourselves. To keep His light flowing through us and in us that we might draw others into that same light. I pray that we surrender to Him, to always be ready to say “yes” to Him in every encounter and occurrence. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All we have to do is allow Him in. I perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

For All Eternity
“My dear little one, how delicate My people are! I come to
embrace them, desiring them to allow Me to love them
and desiring their love in return. I am seeking a romance with
them: an intimacy, not only of friendship, but of love. I tell
My people; ‘Trust in Me and believe I will care for you,’ but
they trust for the moment in which I speak and then fail to
truly surrender all of their being in trust of Me. I do not want
My people for the moment. I want them for eternity.
My people continue to fall in their trials and tribulations,
but they do not allow Me to catch them! I wish for them to
fall into My arms as they let go. I fell three times, My dear
one, and each time I got up. You fall. but I am with you, if
you will simply allow Me to care for you. I want to care for
you. There is no fall, through your trials, that is too great for
Me to handle, if you accept Me and willingly allow Me to
care for you.
If you choose to walk your path alone, without allowing Me
to help you, it will be a different and perhaps lonely walk. But
even then, know I will be with you because of My love. You
are NEVER alone. I see all, and I am with My people always.
They are never alone. They may not allow Me to love them or
help them, but I am still loving them and am always there!
I AM YOUR GOD. As many of My people will be firm
in criticizing My words through their skepticism, saying My
words are not theologically sound, I will still love them and I
will continue to ask them if they will allow Me to teach them
and care for them!
The time will come, My little one, when My people will
know that the truth is that they are powerless without Me, and
it is I Who gives to them everything, even allowing their con-
trol. They will soon realize, for the time is sure to arrive, that
they, themselves, are completely helpless by their own merits;
and they will realize that by surrendering and ALLOWING
Me to care for them as their spouse, their fear, turmoil and
suffering will end in true peace and joy and total happiness.
Bless you, My little one. Peace.”

“Oh, you people of little faith! Here your Jesus has been granted from the Father this time of Mercy to teach you and guide you, and you continue to act as if it is a myth. You go to your churches and synagogues praying to a God in a far away distance; and, once again, I come to speak to you, but you ignore through scrutiny of the truth.”(From Gianna below )

We do like to keep God in a “compartment,” don’t we? Growing up, we would get dressed up and go to church on Sunday like we were merely performing some act of due diligence, then we’d spend the rest of the week wishing we could get out of going the next week. There was a disconnect, and It makes sense that there was, as the world, our televisions and advertising, dangled many shiny trinkets in front of us to distract us from the reason we’re actually here, which is to love. It became a routine act of show, but any real service performed, was typically done by the same group of people who “had time,” and were engaged in full devotion, which I didn’t seem to have time for. Our TV and media have only grown worse, but it is encouraging to see so many churches filled with people who are engaged in service, helping folks within and outside of their own circles. People who set great examples for the rest of us to follow. People who shine the light of Christ through us and in us, even if we’re only paying minimal attention. I guess the point I’m trying to make here is that God is with us and in us full time 24/7, and unless we’re tapping into that 24/7, in every act we undertake, we’re missing out on a significant gift. God is our best friend, but we have to let Him “out of the box,” and into our hearts, souls, and minds full time if we truly want to experience His power and love through ourselves. God doesn’t just love us in our Sunday suit. He loves us 24/7 no matter what we’re wearing. I pray that we “wear” Him as we go forth in His light carrying it to every soul we encounter. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

“My child, where are you aiming to? Where are all My
people running? You cannot escape the truth of life,
even if you deceive yourself. Do not be dismayed with the
works you have undertaken for Me, or of the tribulations which
have come your way. Allow My PROMISE to strengthen you.
Your hard labor and tribulations shall pass. Everything passes
with time, but I shall never pass.
Allow Me to be your reward! So many of My people expe-
rience anxiety, they ponder when death shall be no more, and
when there shall be never-failing health, infinite brightness and
peace. Peace will come in a day known well to the Lord. Do
what you need to do. Work faithfully and you shall gain your
reward. Endure with patience and you shall see the end of evil.
I will protect you. Come deep and penetrate into My heart.
You perceive a longing after eternal bliss, but you desire
it without the shadow of change. This is because My people
desire heavenly things without the temptation of the affection
of the flesh, which they are not free from. So their petitions
are not fully for God’s honor. Break yourself from mortal
desires, and allow Me to fill you with true peace. My words
are strong this night because many come to Me with their
petitions, but with an agenda.
The Kingdom of God is NOT an institution. The Kingdom
of God is LOVE and encompasses love! It is not conceivable
in man’s worldly mind. So step OUT into My world of love
and try not to understand so much, as to walk by faith in
trusting the Triune God.
Oh, you people of little faith! Here your Jesus has been
granted from the Father this time of Mercy to teach you and
guide you, and you continue to act as if it is a myth. You go
to your churches and synagogues praying to a God in a far
away distance; and, once again, I come to speak to you, but
you ignore through scrutiny of the truth.
WAKE UP, My dear ones, to the true world! Allow the
possibility to exist in your minds. This is the way My Father
has allowed My teachings to prevail for you. Come to your
Jesus and allow Me to come to you. I only want to love you
and mold you in your imperfections, but you choose to be
certain of what perfection is according to a falsified standard.
Love yourself in your imperfections, and I will perfect you
and make you righteous in the sight of God.”

Silence

“It is far better to be weak in understanding and have lack of knowl-
edge than to be lacking humility and charity.”(From Gianna below)

Humility and charity. What else could God possibly want from us? Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own self righteousness, and we’re so busy trying to impose our will and ideals on others, that instead of showing others the divine light that could be working through us, we turn them totally off and they run for cover just to get away from us. We create division when the idea is unity. All because we choose to speak when we should be listening. Who likes being around preachy people? And who is going to share and bear their soul when they feel like they’re being judged? They say “two ears, one mouth, give equal time to each.” I’m finding that maybe even less “mouth” than that is in order. When we listen we learn, and the more we learn, the more powerful our words become when we do choose to speak. Everyone needs to be heard, and most of all, God needs to be heard. For our sake. I pray that we open our hearts and souls and listen. His word is everything. Totus Tuus.🤗❤️🙏

Silence
“My dear one, it is more profiable to hide the grace of
your devotion than to esteem it through exalting your-
self! It is true wisdom to simply be in silence and solitude
than to speak much of your journey. It is those who follow
the truth who look towards God and live in silence, without
seeking consolation.
Silence is an increase in knowledge, a virtue of contem-
plation in which the spirit of the soul ascends. Silence is a
whisper and grace of My Father in which He instills the truth
into your being as you listen with an open heart.
Remember, the Progress in your spiritual journey does
not consist of the grace of consolation, but instead, bearing
the desire for it with humility and patience!
If you will allow your mind to rest and be at peace with
simply being in My presence, silence will become your com-
fort in times of support and need. Those who are novices
should be careful to be discreet and silent, lest they fall into
deceit. It is better to be quiet and in a state of solitude than
to see yourselves through your own eyes of wisdom, seldom
allowing to be governed by others.
Silence will allow you to be ruled by God, and the way
to flourish in the gifts of humility and divine charity! It is far
better to be weak in understanding and have lack of knowl-
edge than to be lacking humility and charity.
Humility is a grace, and silence and solitude, through
divine contemplation is the catalyst to humility. Those who
choose to be quiet through prayer and discipline, even though
it may be difficult, are graced with true wisdom and lack of
self conceit! I am speaking of silence, My dear one, not be-
ing secretive. I am speaking of developing and nurturing the
soul through intimacy.
Quiet the mind and rest in Me. I will replenish you. If you
feel far away and not rewarded, and empty, hold on to your
faith and know that the light may leave as well as return when
God deems fit! Better now for My people to be at peace and
contemplate how it might be if the light turns to the shadow
of darkness. And if you feel the light leave, know that it will
come back. So hold on to your faith in silence and in the
solitude of contemplation.
I bless you tonight, My dear one. In the intensity and depth
of My Father’s graces of darkness in your soul, you willingly
write My words for My beloved people, even though it is of
great difficulty for you. This darkness is one of light for your
soul, and those I elect are graced with it. Peace. Ad Deum.
IN SILENCE IS HUMILITY GROUNDED.”
