Self Denial

Wednesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“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.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

How often do most of us actually “deny ourselves” in life. My lab reports from the doctor lately seem to indicate that “gluttony” has been an aspect of my behavior as of late, and that I often segue from one bad habit to another one that’s just a little less bad, yet I do more of it and it ends up being just as bad.
Often, even when we’re performing acts of service in love, we can let “pride” slip in and crave accolades or applause from others for doing our “good work.” We celebrate our good work with dinners and galas where we “pat ourselves on the back” for our service, yet, while glorification of the “self,” give us a temporary dopamine rush, those accolades mean little, as the work itself and the Glory we give God, are the meat and crux of everything we do. Last year’s “awards” are largely forgotten by the time this year’s awards come around, yet the service in love we’ve performed reins eternal. Especially for those whom we serve.
Giving credit to others is another thing many of us fall short on. We have way more impact on the world when we die unto ourselves and allow others to shine, for the accolades we receive ourselves die with us. The glory we give God through teaching and helping others to serve reins eternal, and works its way around the world like Amway, without the anxiety related to having to “sell” the product. Love isn’t something we have to sell. It’s free, and there’s an endless abundance of it. We just have to actively manifest and allow it.
Mr. Rogers has said it, I’ve said it, and I’ll say it again; “If we want to serve, find the “helpers,” and help them.” We don’t have to be a “boss” and run things. We serve best when we’re humble. We love best when we’re humble. And we live best when we’re humble.
I pray that we fall on our knees at the foot of the Cross, and let Jesus remind us as to what true humility looks like, as our “humility goals” likely pale in comparison to what He has done for us. Humility isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it, for only through humility, can we live a life that’s all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

SELF DENIAL
(Before Cross at Lourdes Shrine; 10/21/91)
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 Beloved 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.

Tuesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“That is why there is much difficulty in modern world relationships; because of the longing for love. Everyone wants to be loved, but if you truly give of your own self and love, there is no longing because you are fulfilled and satisfied, refreshed with yourself for giving, rewarded, renewed.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

We so often try to love with our egos instead of our souls, and as Rocky told Bullwinkle, “that trick never works.” We do things for others out of a sense of obligation instead of feeling the true joy that comes from those we love when we serve them from a place of love rather than obligation. The truth is, we don’t have to serve them.” “We get to serve them.” Even stating it in our heads that way changes everything. We serve God when we serve those we love, and in that we should be delighted. I can 100% guarantee your life will be better when joy is instilled in every perceived “obligation” like that.
Whether it’s cooking dinner, cleaning up, tending to sick loved ones, or performing acts of service out in the community, we can do it with a pleasant song in our souls. Staying “little” and humble as we look folks in their eyes and pour love onto them. And we not only heal those we serve, we heal our own broken selves, as the love that flows back and forth between individuals draws tears of happiness and submission from our bodies. And the sense of heavenly nirvana that can come from that exceeds any “earthly pleasure,” as we’re working for Jesus, and not for ourselves.
I pray that we pause for a moment and just let Jesus in. Allow Him to penetrate every aspect of our being that we can see others as He sees them, and let Him guide and protect us as we actively look for ways to pour love on those around us. They need love, and we need love, and love starts right here with us. Only through the love we give, can we keep ourselves “all in, and totally His.”❤️🙏

TRUST IN ME
(Assisi; 10/13/91)
My dear, dear beloved one, tonight I wish to define the
difference between longing for love and loving. Longing for love is a hunger for love. Loving is living without deception. Most of My people long for love because they hunger for Me. But true love is not a hunger; it is a state
of unity. When you love, there is no hunger because you are fulfilled; there is no deception! That is why there is much difficulty in modern world relationships; because of the longing for love. Everyone wants to be loved, but if you truly give of your own self and love, there is no longing because you are fulfilled and satisfied, refreshed with yourself for giving, rewarded, renewed.
Do you see that in the simplicity of My love for My people I teach them, so that they know how much they are loved when they give love in return? How I love to be alone with you temporarily as a lover would, only so that you can go forth and spread My love.
I want also tonight to talk about the Will of God. How do you know you are fulfilling the Will of God? If you trust in what you are doing, that My Word will be fulfilled by trusting in Me, not the Message!, then you are fulfilling the Will. If you doubt what you are doing because of insecurities and are not sure, then it’s not of God! EITHER YOU KNOW OR DO NOT!! YOU EITHER LOVE OR DO NOT. YOU EITHER SAY, ‘YES’ or ‘NO’!
If you, with all your heart, trust that My Word will be fulfilled, but because of other circumstances which were against your expectations arose, that doesn’t mean the Will of God was not fulfilled. So, do not doubt. All will be done in accordance to the Providence of God, not in accordance to your desires. So, do not doubt.
Praise the Father and continue to trust. Doubt comes in when you look at your own self doings, and the plan on your map of architectural desire failed! Well, this would not be the Will of My Father if it went in accordance to your design!
Remember, He is the Potter, you are the clay. At times His Plan is laid out in your design, but most of the time, I can assure you that when you have drawn the straight line, He adds direction; and when your line is crooked, He straightens it!
So, be at peace and know if something does not go according to your plan, it does NOT mean it wasn’t the Will of God. The Will of God is always done in those who trust.
Self-pride makes you doubt the Plan of God or His Will. i love you, My dear one, as all My beloved ones. Peace this night. Ad Deum.

Tend, Adore

Monday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“I am not calling you to change the world through My Word.
I am asking you to live The Word and see the world change before you! Blessed is He who sent Me, and Blessed is He who believes in Him.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

There are fundamentalist sects out there claiming to be Christian, who seem to think bringing people to Christ means berating them over the particulars of doctrine. Preaching The Word, yet carrying a hubristic display of ego in a “do as I say, not as I do” fashion. Preaching from an imaginary pulpit with clean fingernails, yet they’ve never performed an act of service in their natural lives. Bringing darkness to the table when Jesus calls us to be the light.
That’s what turned me completely off to Christianity in my early adult years, and it’s clearly turning people off today. Placing ourselves in positions of “authority,” when we’re called to humility. Casting people “out into the cold,” when Jesus calls us to bring them to Him.
I like to think The Word is best preached through how we walk, not how we talk. We tend to put the microscope over the “speck in our brother’s eye,” while ignoring the “plank in our own.”(From Matthew 7:3-5) We try to live in Him with our egos instead of our hearts and souls, while Jesus calls us to “die unto ourselves,” that we might live through and in Him. We get hung up on “who” is right, rather than focusing on “what” is right, and we waste precious energy and air by talking when we’re called to act.
I’m pretty sure holding a door open for someone, smiling at them, and letting them know they’re loved will carry a hundred times more weight in our “path to salvation,” than berating another person over doctrine ever will. Were called to “shine His Light that others might see.” Not to beat them over the head with it so they just look at us like we’re nuts and run away.
We’re called to love, and love doesn’t come from the ego, but from the heart and soul. From being “little” and humbling ourselves before Him that others will want to see, feel, and experience what we have. Only by dying into ourselves, can we truly live in The Word, lead others to a life that is all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

TEND, ADORE!
(10/9/91)
My dear one, your tears are only healing from Me,

  • cleansing you of your own need, realizing your need is Me and only Me! What I want all My people to know is that I call them to total purity with Me.
    I highly esteem souls who wish to tend and adore Me, as I tend and adore them. Follow the way of My Mother. All of Her glory came to exist because of Me. How I wish all to adore Me and tend lovingly and tenderly to Me as She. How I long to rest My head on My beloved ones.
    Times are difficult for many, but I am here with you on earth and in heaven. I desire so My people to adore and tend to Me. Suffering is painful, yet joy can exist because I can grace you with this virtue. If you do not have My Joy, perhaps My purification of suffering in your turmoil is enough for you.
    Acceptance in peace with trust moment to moment gives you strength to receive whatever grace I deem fit. Remember, you merit nothing. It is given to you. I am in everyone as if that person is the only person who exists in the world! So do not think some days I am with you and some not! This cannot be.
    Oh, how blessed are they who quietly accept, without recognition and compensation for their efforts, their suffering when they feel nothing and yet, desire only to tend to Me and adore me! It is a true intimacy that the closer you get to the reign of God, the farther you think you are; and so you humble yourself unto Me, as I humbled Myself unto you to the point of self death.
    Blessed are those who believe in My Word and accept it.
    I am not calling you to change the world through My Word.
    I am asking you to live The Word and see the world change before you! Blessed is He who sent Me, and Blessed is He who believes in Him.
    My Father knows that anyone who would do anything for Me would never deny Him, for We are One! I bless you all My dear beloved ones. Come in purity to Me and adore and tend to Me, as I tend and adore you! Enter into My marriage without noting gender, only noting purity. Peace. Ad Deum.

Imperfections

Sunday Truth in Deep Love❤️🤗🙏

“I wish for all to know that it is not in the perfections of the soul I love, but in the imperfections! This is where you become holy, through your imperfections. The grace comes from Me. Once you name the sin and accept it, I give My grace of healing.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

When I go to Wal Mart or the drug store, it’s pretty evident that the “vanity items,” the cosmetics have all the security cameras and alarms on them. Not the true necessities like ibuprofen and Tylenol, or even food. Is this a reflection of the typical human mindset? That our “appearance” is more important than our health or our well being?
We become obsessed with “hiding” our perceived imperfections, when in reality we’re only catering to shallow people, as people who come from a place of love tend to be aware that “imperfections “ are not necessarily a bad thing. They’re reflections of our uniqueness, and if we’re going to be truly intimate with each other, we embrace each other’s “imperfections,”whether they be physical or mental, and if those imperfections hinder us on some level other than one of vanity, we help each other either overcome them, or to live with them, but from a place of love. Pointing, laughing, and gossiping about each other pulls us far into an adverse direction, and says way more about ourselves than those whom we happen to be chastising.
Very few of us “look good” naked, yet how do we approach our spouses from a place of intimacy when we either don’t want to see them naked, or they don’t want to see us naked? Yet, it should be the “imperfections” we embrace, as that’s what intimacy is about. When it’s just us and God, open and giving in a way that transcends earthy ideals.
We all love “cuteness,” that comes from imperfections, stumbling puppies, or baby ducklings, but we so often make our vanity such a part of our being, that no one ever knows who we truly are, including ourselves. All of us get “old and fat,” and marriage isn’t about how we look in an outfit from Frederick’s of Hollywood. It’s about whose diaper we may end up changing later in life, for changing diapers may in fact be one of the greater acts of human love. Whether it be our children, our parents, or our spouses, for there is nothing more humbling, especially later in life, than “pooping ourselves,” and we’re all going to do that at some point. We just have to hope that the person or persons helping us with that love us enough to do it from a place of empathy, and that we drop our vanity, and allow them to help us without apology, but with deep gratitude, for there isn’t a much greater form of love in the grand scheme of human contact.
Whether they be a part of ourselves, or others, Jesus not only knows our “imperfections,” he humbled Himself before all of human society, in spite of the fact that there was no tv for us to watch it on, as He gave Himself, naked and beaten, that we might place ourselves at the foot of His cross, in humility, that we might be able to at least humble ourselves a little as we pour His love on other souls. That we embrace, kiss, and acknowledge not only the imperfections of others, but our own, and that we allow love to flow through us and in us from all directions. That we allow Jesus to hold our hands, as we pour love on every soul we encounter. And that we “walk each other home” from the place of deepest love and humility, as we remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

IMPERFECTIONS
(St. Giovanni Basilica, Rome; 10/3/91)
My dear child, simply give to Me your love, and focus
only on Me. It is because of your imperfections in your love that I desire it so! Please, simply focus on Me.
The mysticism of My love stems from the imperfections of man, and because of the original sin. So many of My people are in need of inner healing from their brokenness and hidden love.
I wish for all to know that it is not in the perfections of the soul I love, but in the imperfections! This is where you become holy, through your imperfections. The grace comes from Me. Once you name the sin and accept it, I give My grace of healing.
The spirituality of your soul is a grace of My Spirit. I grace you with My intimacy. It is My desire that all My people understand that I do not wait for their love when they believe they are perfect. It is now I wait for their love in their imperfection!
When you believe you are perfect, I can assure you that you are distant. The pain My people have is because they deny their brokenness and do not accept the present condition of their being. They wish to control. When the situation does not go as desired – according to their plan – they then deny the situation and make circumstances to justify themselves with excuses!
It is necessary for My people to know that My Church consists of the imperfections of their being! These are the people in need of joy and peace. First, for them to recognize they are powerless and cannot control, they must accept the sin and not place guilt on themselves. The rest is a grace I give to them for healing.
Thank you, My dear one, for receiving My love and loving Me in your own brokenness. You, who so much need to love others first by loving yourself, I ask you to sit with Me and attend to Me by focusing on Me. In this way I can heal your very soul and give you My love, for you to love Me as I love you.
Bless you and receive My peace. You will see that now many will come in goodness of My mercy. Remember, I am overseeing your journey directly. Surrender unto Me like a little child. Peace. Ad Deum.

My Glory

Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“I cannot say enough to you about how I desire a great intimacy with My people. I continually speak intimately with you and ask you to continually offer My people to Me in intimacy, so that I can grace them with Me. It is in this intimacy they receive My glory. Too many of My people run from Me because they are overwhelmed with intimidation and fear of worthiness.
Please look beyond the materialistic standards created by man which indicate glory with worthiness. My saints are simple. I call you all to be My saints!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

In 50 years, it isn’t likely that there will be more than a couple of people alive on this earth, if that, who will remember who I was, and I’m more than ok with that. I just hope and pray that somehow things will be a little better on some piece of this earth because of the love I left behind. Through kids I’ve raised or mentored, or maybe adults who’s lives might have been changed for the better because of me. And that all glory that comes from any of my thoughts or actions goes to God.
We see what happens with “idolatry” as “controversial statues” get toppled and sins of the past are uncovered, and artifacts of the human ego become rendered back into the dust from whence they came.
The bigger we are, the harder we fall, in life, or historic viewpoint, and often it’s the little things, the minor gifts we leave behind through our love for others that have true and lasting impact on this world. And if people turn to God because of us, how awesome is that? While historic figures like Constantine might have impacted Christianity in a positive way on a macro social level, it’s the “acts” of us “little folks,” and the love brought forth through those acts, that keep His Kingdom alive and well. And Constantine will always remain a sketchy historical figure for people to idolize or condemn as they see fit, while Jesus and His Love reins eternal. Yet, the worker bees like us, get to spend eternity with Him, as He reins over all things “visible and invisible.”
“Love one another as I have loved you.”(From John 13:-34-35) This is what Jesus calls us to do. Not to worry about our name on a random tombstone 100 years from now, but to leave love behind on this earth that has lasting impact through those we love and serve. To show love to souls like they’ve never seen or felt, that they might also become filled with The Spirit, and the call to serve. That through their love more generations after them will be called to love and to serve as we have. That every generation to follow lives their lives to the fullest, and that the power, and the Glory forever goes to God, that we might remain all in, and totally His. For all eternity.❤️🙏

MY GLORY
(St. Peter’s Church, Rome; 10/1/91)
My dear child, you are never alone. I am always one with

  • you – near you, guiding you, leading you by My hand.
    I wish to begin by telling you how so many people seek My glory, but their concept of glory is not of Mine. I am simple, loving, tender!
    My people think that they must accomplish great things to receive worthiness of My glory. It is in the simple ordinary tasks that you receive My glory. It is not a merit received through worthiness. It is given to you because of My love for you.
    I cannot say enough to you how I desire a great intimacy with My people. I continually speak intimately with you and ask you to continually offer My people to Me in intimacy, so that I can grace them with Me. It is in this intimacy they receive My glory. Too many of My people run from Me because they are overwhelmed with intimidation and fear of worthiness.
    Please look beyond the materialistic standards created by man which indicate glory with worthiness. My saints are simple. I call you all to be My saints!
    Do not allow people of man’s power to frighten you! Remember, I am God and I will protect you. If it is in the Will of My Father, it shall be done accordingly. You only need to live in simpleness and focus on Me. There is nothing more to be done.
    When it is My Father’s desire, His Will is done as He deems fit. Pray for all and live by actions of simpleness and loving kindness. Ad Deum and My blessings. Listen to My words now silently.
