NUMBERS 6:24-26

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

---- my own,

As this year draws to a close I want to assure you that I AM with you always. I will watch over you, guide you, protect you, and keep you close to Me and in the shadow of My love. On your part have faith, pray always, and place all your hope in Me alone. Let nothing and no one draw you away from Me. Remain in Me, remain in My love, remain in My Presence.

WORD OF GOD - LK 11:11-13

LUKE 11:11-13

'Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’

---- Mine,

The good and wise parent will not give their child anything that is evil or harmful rather they will do all that is in their power to keep them safe and will protect them even at the cost of their own lives. Now consider this, Your Abba in heaven loves you so much He did not spare His only Son to save you. Approach Him with confidence and ask Him for whatever you will for He delights in giving all that is good to His little ones. Ask for the Holy Spirit and you will always remain in His love and in Mine.

WORD OF GOD - IS 49:15

ISAIAH 49:15

Can a woman forget her nursing-child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.

---- My own,

I couldn't forget you if I tried, My nature will not allow it just as a nursing mother's body will not allow her to forget her baby. However, many in the world have a remarkable capacity for denying that the baby in the womb is a child who is very much alive and present, though hidden. The world conveniently blinds itself on what it chooses to see or not to see. But I see you, I know you, I love you, I walk with you and will do so all the days of your life. Walk with Me and you will walk without fear in the Light of My love.

 

WORD OF GOD - MT 7:13

MATTHEW 7:13

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it.

---- Mine,

To give in to sinful desires, to allow yourself every indulgence of the senses, to have no desire, nor the strength of will to control your appetites, to satisfy your own needs and wants at the expense of others whose needs are greater than your own is the way that leads to destruction. Choose to enter through the narrow gate - you can do so only if you rid yourself of all unnecessary baggage. There is only one Way that leads to Life, it is the Way of Truth - choose it and you will be saved.

WORD OF GOD - 2 KGS 2:9, 2 SAM 25:35

2 KINGS 2:9, 2 SAMUEL 25:35

‘Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you.’
‘Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.’

'Go back home in peace. I have listened to you and granted your request.'

---- Mine,

Why are you surprised that I have heard your prayer and answered you? All that you ask for I will do for I AM God. Do not be afraid, do not doubt - just believe. 

 

WORD OF GOD - JN 15:9-10

JOHN 15:l9-10

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

---- Mine,

All who belong to Me do what I tell them to do just as I always do all that My Father asks of Me. Remain in Me as I remain in My Father, Abide in Me as I abide in My Father and true joy and peace will be yours. What do I ask of you, what are the commandments I ask you to keep - to love God alone placing nothing, and no one before Me and to be prepared to lay down your life in loving service to those around you for My sake. Do this and you will live in My love.

 

WORD OF GOD - MK 3:34-35

MARK 3:34-35

And looking at those who sat around him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’

---- My own,

Do you want to be Mine alone? Do you desire to be My family? Do you want My Father to be your Father and My Mother, to be yours as well? Do you want Me to be My little sister, little brother, little mother? Then do as My Father has said, "This is my son, the beloved. Listen to him." And do as My Mother has said, "Do whatever he tells you to do." Not just now and then, not only when you feel like it, but always and you will be Mine in time and in eternity.

WORD OF GOD - TOBIT 7:17

TOBIT 7:17

“Take courage, my daughter; the Lord of heaven grant you joy in place of your sorrow. Take courage, my daughter.”

---- My own,

For as long as you walk in this valley of tears you will have trouble, sorrow, difficulties, heartache, and heartbreak, but have this confidence- I, the Lord Your God, am with you, I walk with you, My Breath is yours, My Words are your Life, your food and drink. Lean on Me. Trust in Me. Count on Me, in all things for I, the Lord your God, am with you and will remain with you all the days of your life. Courage! Fear nothing! I have overcome the world and have claimed you for Myself. You are Mine now and forever.

WORD OF GOD - 1 SAM 25:35

1 SAMUEL 25:35

“Go back home in peace. I have listened to you and

granted your request.” 

---- My own,

When you pray have the confidence of a child of God, for that is who you are. Do not be anxious about anything but make all your needs known to Me keeping this in mind always that I who love you, who lay down my life for you, who give you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink, will grant you all your heart's desires. No one who approaches the throne of mercy and grace will return without receiving all they have asked for and more, for I give in full measure, shaken together, and running over.  

WORD OF GOD - 1 KGS 2:20

1 KINGS 2:20

Then she said, ‘I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me.’ And the king said to her, ‘Make your request, my mother; for I will not refuse you.’

---- Mine,

To all My disciples, to all who follow Me, to all who love Me, I have given heaven's grace-full treasure, My Mother. It pleases the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to refuse her nothing for no one has walked more closely with God than she. I AM flesh of her flesh and bone of her bone and it is this Body that I received from her that I break and share with all who come to receive Me in the Holy Eucharist. All who take Mary as their Mother receive her from Me at the foot of the Cross, all who take her home into their lives and hearts will find in her an ocean of blessings.

 

WORD OF GOD - 2 SAM 6:11

2 SAMUEL 6:11

The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months; the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

---- My own,

Wherever the Ark of God's Covenant is, there I AM. I will bless all who honor Me, worship Me, and not just they, but everyone in their household will be blessed, as will all their work and their plans. The Ark of My Covenant is My Mother, she is the Woman Clothed with the Sun. She contained first in her womb and ever and always in her heart and soul, the Word, the Son of Justice. All who love and honor her, love and honor Me as well. Mary, My beloved Mother, Virgin spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the first daughter in the Kingdom of My Father. 

WORD OF GOD - PS 27:3

PSALM 27:3

Though an army encamp against me, 

my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.

---- Mine,

This is the confidence I desire you to have in Me always. No harm shall come to you not even to a hair on your head. Fear nothing. Have this assurance always, no matter how dark the night, how loud the sound of the storm, the lashing of the waves, or the keening of the wind, I AM with you in all the storms of your life. Even in the dark night, you will walk as if in the bright light of the noonday sun for you walk with Me. Be aware of My presence always and you will live in the confidence of a child whose Abba is God. 

WORD OF GOD - SIR 34:16-17

SIRACH 34:16-17

Those who fear the Lord will not be timid,
or play the coward, for he is their hope.
Happy is the soul that fears the Lord!

---- Mine,

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. To know and love Me is to desire never to displease or offend Me. This healthy fear enables you to do all I ask of you in obedience and humility. To fear the wrath of the world rather than God is timidity and vanity. To seek My approval in all things no matter the cost takes courage and strength which the soul possesses if it is possessed by Me. Such a soul is happy and blessed. 

WORD OF GOD - PS 73:23-26

PSALM73:23-26

Nevertheless I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will receive me with honour.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

---- Mine,

These words to you today are My assurance that I AM with you always. You are Mine in time and in eternity. Trust Me. Lean on Me. Let Me guard and protect you. Permit Me to direct and lead you in all things no matter how small or how great - I AM here and I AM yours as well. Be not troubled, be not afraid am I not your Lord and your God who loves you with an everlasting love? Let Me by your strength, your help and your comfort until you come to Me to remain with Me eternally.

WORD OF GOD - PS 73:25

PSALM 73:25

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.

---- Mine,

Make Me your all in all and you will find rest and peace for your soul. I AM the Lord your God you will have no strange gods before Me. I AM the Way, walk in it. I AM the Truth, believe in it, I AM the Life you receive in all its abundance through the life-giving outpouring of graces in the Sacraments. Desire Me above all things, hunger, and thirst for Me above all things, and you will store up for yourself treasures in heaven, that neither moth nor rust can consume or thieves break in and steal.

 

WORD OF GOD - JER 15:16

JEREMIAH 15:16

Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart;
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.

---- My Own,

I AM the Eternal Word of the Father, abide in Me as I abide in you and you will find joy - the joy that the world cannot give. You are baptized into Me and into My Name - you belong to Me in time and eternity for it is I who called you out of darkness into My own marvellous light. Fear nothing but believe that I, the Lord, your God called you out of darkness and sin to live and reign in Me in time and in eternity. You are Mine.

 

WORD OF GOD - PRO 4:23

PROVERBS 4:23

Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.

---- Mine,

As a faithful sentry keeps guard over the citadel so too must you keep vigil over your heart, for from here flows life, grace, truth, and beauty. Stay watchful at all times lest evil gains admittance into your soul and muddies the source of life-giving grace. Once on this slippery slope, you will quickly descend into the abyss where there is neither light nor hope for the spring of life, and grace is blocked by iniquity. 

WORD OF GOD - JN 4:14

JOHN 4:14

Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.

---- Mine,

All who belong to Me, all who are grafted into My Body, all who receive life through the waters of Baptism, have within them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life. You have received the Holy Spirit, He dwells in you, He makes your body His sanctuary, this is why I say to you that anyone who has the Spirit of God may draw on His power, His wisdom, His strength, and above all His love, always. It is the Spirit of God that gives life, the flesh will avail you nothing.

 

WORD OF GOD - LK 7:22-23

LUKE 7:22-23

“Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

---- Mine,

I AM the God of the impossible. I AM the Eternal Word that restores sight and hearing, cleanses lepers, strengthens weary limbs, and brings the dead to life. I AM WHO AM and anyone who takes offense at Me, who finds the Truth a stumbling block, will fall headlong into the abyss of eternal darkness and death. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one who believes in Me will perish.

WORD OF GOD - LK 1:38

LUKE 1:38

“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

---- Mine,

Model yourself after My Mother and you can be certain you are walking on the straight path to the kingdom of heaven. Just as she always did all God asked of her so too does she instruct each of her children who love her and have placed their confidence in her, 'Do whatever He tells you to do.' Listen to her and you will be listening also to God for she is His perfect echo, she is My perfect echo, this spotless spouse of the Holy Spirit. 

WORD OF GOD - SG OF SGS 4:10-11

SONG OF SONGS 4:10-11

How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride!
how much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

Your lips distil nectar, my bride;
honey and milk are under your tongue;
the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.

---- Mine,

You were created in love to know love at its most sublime. Love Me with your whole heart, mind, and strength, and the union you seek with Me will be granted to you.  

WORD OF GOD - JER 51:46

JEREMIAH 51:46 

Do not be fainthearted or fearful
at the rumours heard in the land—
one year one rumour comes,
the next year another,
rumours of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.

---- Mine,

There is a place of rest in My Sacred Heart. Come to Me and find in Me your place of perfect peace for your soul. In the world, there will always be trials, tribulations, news of war, and rumors of war; let nothings disturb you for you are Mine. Remain in My love and I assure you no one will harm a hair on your head. Fear not the terror of the night or the arrows that fly in the bright noonday for wherever you are I will be your shelter, your shade, I will keep you safe in the shelter of My Heart. Pray constantly, pray unceasingly, and do not worry, be anxious, or fearful for the mighty power of God's protection covers all who are Mine.  

WORD OF GOD - MT 1:16

MATTHEW 1:16

Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and from her came Jesus who is called the Christ — the Messiah.

---- Mine,

Contemplate My Mother and remember always that you do well to stay close to her. She will lead you to Me by a straight path. She is the Woman clothed with the Sun of Justice with the moon she represents under her feet for all her dazzling light comes from her Son. She gave birth to Me, the Messiah, the Bridge twixt the Old and the New, hence she is crowned with 12 stars representing the 12 tribes of Israel and My 12 Apostles. She in whom the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are well-pleased, reigns eternally as Queen of heaven and of earth. I assure you, anyone who approaches My Mother to plead their cause before the Throne of Mercy and Grace, will have all their prayers answered.

WORD OF GOD - IS 45:3

ISAIAH 45:3

I will give you the treasures of darkness
and riches hidden in secret places,
so that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

---- Mine,

When the night is darker than darkness. When you rely on nothing and no one but Me. When it is I alone in whom you place all your trust and hope. When your security and assurance of help comes from nothing and no one but Me. When I AM your all-in-all, your only shade, shelter, and rest, then indeed you will find rich treasures of graces in unexpected, secret, sacred, silent places in your soul. And you will know it is I, your Lord and your God who calls you by your Name, who has done this.

WORD OF GOD - LK 1:28

 LUKE 1:28

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God, to a town of Galilee called Nazareth. He was sent to a virgin, who was betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, “Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you!”

---- Mine,

This is the divinely appointed time when God pierced time and space and altered forever the way humankind would see themselves. God revealed to the world all that is possible to those who yield themselves in perfect submission, humility, and obedience to the divine will. The Holy Spirit will come upon such souls, the power of the Most High will overshadow them, and they, like Mary, My Mother, will conceive in their heart and give birth to the Son of God. All who believe will rejoice at all that is possible when God, who is Emmanuel, is with His people. 

WORD OF GOD - SIR 6:37

SIRACH 6:37

Reflect on the statutes of the Lord,
and meditate at all times on his commandments.
It is he who will give insight to your mind,
and your desire for wisdom will be granted.

---- Mine,

Let My Word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Think on it, contemplate it, allow it to find a home in your soul, and permit it to direct your every thought and action. Ask for wisdom and understanding and I, the Lord, your God, who desires to give you every good and perfect gift will give you all that your heart desires. 

WORD OF GOD - HAGGAI 2:23

HAGGAI 2:23

On that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, .......  and make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts.

---- my own,

You belong to Me, you are my own, my sister, my bride. I have called you by name, I have poured clean water over you, I have rescued you from the snares of the enemy, and I have seated you with Me at the banquet, at the table of the Lord. I will feed you with the finest wheat, and you will drink deep from the cup of salvation and you will be Mine forever.

WORD OF GOD - JER 32:27

JEREMIAH 32:27

See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?

---- Mine,

Never doubt for a moment that I who am God can do all things. Nothing is impossible for the Son of God. This is why I say to you, ask boldly for what you need and you will receive all you ask for, seek tirelessly for all that gives life and you will find it, knock relentlessly, and do not lose heart and the door will be opened to you. and you will abide in Me and I in you.

WORD OF GOD - MT 8:26

MATTHEW 8:26

He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm.

---- Mine,

Be not afraid. Perfect love casts out fear for there is no place for fear in love. Just believe and all you ask for in faith will be granted to you. Align your will to Mine, desire all that I desire for you. Walk closely with Me, follow Me, pick up your cross daily and keep your gaze fixed on Me and you will find that My yoke is easy and My burden light. Remain in My love and life in all its abundance will be yours.

WORD OF GOD - MT 11:28-30

MATTHEW 11:28-30

‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’

---- Mine,

Life can get wearisome for you were not created for this life but the next. In the world you will have troubles, anxieties, burdens but you are not alone I AM with you, I AM beside you, I AM in you. Come to Me, lean on Me and I will help you carry your cross every day. Do not run away from it but embrace it for it is the means by which you prepare yourself for the life to come. There can be no eternal reward without first carrying your cross daily and following Me. 

 

WORD OF GOD - MT 25:40

MATTHEW 25:40  

‘Truly I say to you: just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it to me.’

--- Mine,

If you lack compassion, love, kindness, mercy to those you can see, who are around you, who live with you, are in your neighborhood, whom you meet every day, you cannot, in all honesty, say you love Me. They belong to Me as you do, I AM in them as I AM in you. Anything you do for anyone I consider it done to Me. Love begets love if it doesn't, it isn't love.

WORD OF GOD - SG OF SGS 4:12

SONG OF SONGS 4:12

You are a garden enclosed,
my sister, my bride;
a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.

I created you for Myself and tolerate no rivals. Desire no one and nothing over Me, be wholly Mine and I will come to you and I will make My home in you. I will walk with you and talk to you. I will grant you rich graces, I will raise you up and refresh you with streams of living water for you are My betrothed, My sister, My bride, My own. Belong solely to Me in this life and you will be united with Me forever in the life to come. 

WORD OF GOD - JN 8:34-36

JOHN 8:34-36

Jesus answered them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

---- Mine,

Sin enslaves and grave sin enslaves completely. Only One has the power to set you free, to break the chains forever. Confess your sins to a priest and you will discover that habitual sins that trapped you like a bird in a snare no longer have power over you for when the Son sets you free you are free indeed.

WORD OF GOD - JN 12:31-32

JOHN 12:31-32

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

---- Mine,

I keep telling you over and over again not to be afraid. Fear indicates a lack of love and a lack of faith and trust. Believe Me, when I tell you, no harm will come to you, you need fear nothing. Even though it seems that evil has overtaken the world this is a lie of the evil one. I AM the Lord your God, is anything too difficult for Me? Believe, and pray with confidence, I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD - LK 12:35-36

LUKE 12:35-36

 Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.

---- Mine,

To each, the moment will arrive when time will cease. Be prepared for it will come when you least expect it. Clothe yourself with virtue and be ready and alert lest you fail to hear Me arrive. Stay awake, keep watch and you will hear Me knock and you will open the door to Me and I will enter and dine with you and you with Me.

WORD OF GOD - LK 4:39

LUKE 4:39

Bending over her, he rebuked
the fever, and it left her. Immediately,
she got up and waited on them.

---- Mine,

Whatever it is that ails you I AM here stooping over you, strengthening you, raising you up, healing you, restoring you to health in every way, mind, body, soul, and spirit. Be not afraid, am I not the bridegroom of your soul who loves you? I lay down My life so you may live. You in turn must keep in mind always that you are mine - live your life as I will you to live it - in service to Me and to your neighbor. 

WORD OF GOD - LAM 3:31-33

LAMENTATIONS 3:31-33

For the Lord will not reject forever. Although he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone.

---- Mine,

Remember always how much I love those who are My own. My sheep hear My voice, they know Me and they follow Me. Those that stray I search until they are found and restored safely to My fold. Do not worry about anything, do not be anxious for anything for I AM your Good Shepherd who lay down My life for you. Affliction and grief will come to you but will last only through the night, joy will come in the morning. Just believe. Have faith. No one who belongs to Me will be lost.

WORD OF GOD - MT 18:19-20

MATTHEW 18:19-20

Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.’

---- Mine,

No prayer, no petition, no cry of the soul goes unanswered. Pray constantly, pray when you are alone, pray with your family, pray with friends, pray as a community of believers, pray in union with My Church; in every instance when you pray in My Name I AM in your midst and I assure you My Father will grant anything you ask Him in My Name. Believe and don't lose heart for My Father will withhold no good thing to those who believe in Me.

 

WORD OF GOD - JN 19:14

JOHN 19:14

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, ‘Here is your King!’

---- Mine,

You are living at the end of the age - the age of My second coming in glory and majesty to make all things new. I AM the new Adam. I AM the eternal King and I will return to claim for My Father all the living. In Me is Life, in Me is Truth, in Me is the only Way to My Father's house - there is no other for those who are baptized and grafted to My Body. You are redeemed by My Blood, you are fed by My Body, You are sanctified by My Spirit. You are Mine.

WORD OF GOD - MK 9:7

MARK 9:7

Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!’

---- Mine,

You will live in the shadow of the cloud of My everlasting presence if you do as My Father asks and listen to Me always. I AM His heir, His first-born, I AM the Eternal Word, and Beloved of My Father, and you are His adopted child and co-heir with Me because I redeemed you. Listen to Me, yield your will to Mine - do this and you will live in perfect union with Me in time and in eternity.

WORD OF GOD - MT 9:36-38

MATTHEW 9:36-38

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’

---- Mine,

I know what the world is like today. I know that sin has hardened hearts and made souls tepid because the world has forgotten that I AM God and My Name is higher than any other. I AM peace. I AM victory. I AM Love. Without Me, the world and all the people in it can do nothing. Those who believe have to be kindled anew with the fire of My Spirit only then can they set the world ablaze with the fire of divine love. This is the time for people of goodwill to stir alive the Spirit within them and to pray as they have never prayed before. The hour for conversion is at hand before the Lord of the harvest arrives to sift the wheat from the chaff. 

WORD OF GOD - MT 9:28-29

MATTHEW 9:28-29

When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you.’

---- Mine,

All who have faith may enter where I AM for where I AM there too will My servant be. Bring all your infirmities to Me spiritual, mental, and physical; be aware of what it is you desire Me to do for you and ask. Come with faith. Come in simplicity and humility and ask boldly and with courage. Ask with complete and childlike confidence believing all you ask will be granted, for according to your faith will you receive.

WORD OF GOD - PS 121:3-5

PSALM 121:3-5

Will he let your foot slip,
the one watching over you?
Will he slumber?
No, the guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps.
The Lord is your guardian;
The Lord is at your side;
and you, in his shade.

---- My own,

Never doubt for a moment that you are Mine. You belong to Me. I bought you, I redeemed you, I purchased you, I lay down My life for you. I gave up My life in exchange for yours. Death will not overtake you. Through the watches of the day and night, I am beside you. I am your refuge, your rock, your shade. With Me at your side, you will not be overcome by the terrors of the night or the arrows that fly by day. I have made a covenant with you an everlasting covenant of love. Be not afraid but walk with the confidence of a child of God

WORD OF GOD - LK 10:16

LUKE 10:16

‘Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’

---- Mine,

This was My assurance to My Apostles and this is My assurance to all who succeed them. It was I who chose them to serve Me. They serve and shepherd My flock in response to My call. Be very, very careful, for you stand on extremely dangerous ground when you belittle My Apostles, disobey them, undermine their authority, and teach and encourage others to do the same. The office they bear is sacred and they are answerable to Me should they fail. So bear this in mind, when you refuse to listen to them you refuse to listen to Me, when you reject them you reject Me, and in rejecting Me you reject My Father who sent Me. 

WORD OF GOD - MT 1249-:50

MATTHEW 12:49-50

‘Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?’ And pointing to his disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’

---- Mine,

If you sincerely desire to belong to the family of God My Word and My will must be your food and your drink. You cannot be My disciple unless you pick up your cross each day and follow Me. Seek to save your life and you will lose it, seek to lose it for My sake and the sake of the Gospel and you will save it to glorify God in His kingdom eternally. Never has and never will any disciple follow Me as closely as did My Mother, who is now the Mother of all the living.

 

WORD OF GOD - WIS 1:11

WISDOM 1:11

Beware then of useless grumbling,
and keep your tongue from slander,
because no secret word is without result,
and a lying mouth destroys the soul.

---- Mine,

Fools grumble, look for excuses, seek to tear down rather than build up. Fools use their words to spread hate, to gossip, to fan the flames of disunity and discord. Fools are the pawns of the devil. Fools lack the wisdom to discern the truth and the courage to embrace it. Fools are carried about by every gust of cultural wind until they destroy themselves utterly. Seek wisdom and when you are granted it, allow it to prompt every word, thought, and action. Let wisdom be your friend. Wisdom is the first of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

WORD OF GOD - 2:11-12

MARK 2:11-12

‘I say to you, stand up, take your mat and go to your home.’ And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’

---- Mine,

Never give up. There is no situation that you are going through where the power of the Lord your God is unable to work a miracle for you or the ones you care for. Make your needs known to Me in faith, believing that no matter how impossible the situation may seem to you nothing is impossible for Me. Knock, seek, ask, and you  will exclaim each and every time, 'I have never seen anything like this!' I will amaze and you will glorify Me with your life. 

WORD OF GOD - LK 6:40

LUKE 6:40

A disciple is not above the master;
but when fully trained,
he will be like the master. 

---- My own,

If you desire to be My disciple you must imitate Me in all things, not just in some. You cannot pick and choose what you will obey, or follow; you can omit nothing. You have to receive and follow all that I have said and done. The servant is not greater than the Master nor the disciple greater than the teacher. If you wish to be like Me, you must pick up our cross daily and follow Me. There are no short cuts to the Kingdom of God. 

WORD OF GOD - MK 1:35

MARK 1:35

In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.

---- Mine,

Without the power of daily, constant, incessant prayer you will have no strength to do anything pleasing to the Father or to Me. Set aside time each day to come to Me, linger with Me, speak to Me, and listen to what I have to say to you. I want you to hear Me say to you each day and all the time how much I love you, how you never need to fear anything for you have Me on your side fighting all your battles. That I have appointed angels to watch over you and those you love, and all those you pray for. That I am always at your side and you are never alone. I want to hear you tell Me that you love Me too. This is why I too escaped from the crowds to spend time with My Father. I needed to rest in Him, be rejuvenated by His love, and to talk over everything with Him, and above all to remain quietly with Him in loving silence.

WORD OF GOD - IS 33:2

ISAIAH 33:2

O Lord, have mercy on us
who put all our hope in you.
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation when trouble comes.

---- Mine,

Trust Me with all your heart and have faith that I will always be near you, closer to you than yourself. Call Me and I will answer you. Lean on Me and find in Me all the strength you need each day. Do not let fear overwhelm you for you have no need to fear anything. I, the Lord your God am with you, I have made a covenant with you that is unshakeable and irrevocable. You are Mine. Rest in Me, rest in My love.

 

WORD OF GOD - JOB 14:1-2

JOB 14:1-2

A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,
comes up like a flower and withers,
flees like a shadow and does not last.

---- Mine,

I understand your grief, and it is good to mourn but not as they who will not be comforted for they lack hope. The time allotted to all mortals is brief whether they live but a few moments or to a ripe old age. It goes by in the blink of an eye and then there is eternity. Nothing that belongs to Me is lost. All that is Mine comes back to Me. Be not afraid I have overcome death and your grieving will last for only a night your joy however will arrive in the radiant light of a new dawn that never ends.

WORD OF GOD - MT 13:35-37

MARK 13:35-37

So stay awake, for you don’t know when the Lord of the house will come, in the evening or at midnight, when the cock crows or before dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him catch you asleep. And what I say to you, I say to all: Stay awake!

---- Mine,

It is time for serious reflection on the last three things - death, judgment, heaven, and hell. The time for slumber has passed. Wake up from your fool's paradise and cease staking your future on the false security that the world or the things you possess provides. These will be taken from you, perhaps in the twinkling of an eye, and you will stand before the righteous Judge. Make provision for that hour lest you be lost forever. 

WORD OF GOD - MT 6:8

MATTHEW 6:8

Your Father knows what you need, even before you ask him.

---- Mine,

Sometimes you set your heart on something and you long for it with your whole being, believing ardently that it is truly the best thing for you but what occurs is something so completely opposed to what you hoped for the crushing feeling of disappointment is excruciating. In times like these remember what I say to you this day, Your heavenly Father knows what you need, even before you ask Him. He wills only that from which He can draw the greatest good for His children no matter how impossible or improbable it might seem to you. Trust in Me with all your heart and don't be afraid - I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD - ZEPH 3:15

ZEPHANIAH 3:15

The Lord has lifted your sentence and has driven your enemies away. The Lord, the King of Israel is with you; do not fear any misfortune.

---- Mine,

I have triumphed. The victory is won. The sentence of damnation against you is lifted. Fear not, no harm comes to those who are called by My Name and sealed with My Spirit. When you walk through deep waters I will be with you. No hand lifted against you will succeed. Even in the midst of darkness, I will be your light. Remember the price paid for your deliverance and know that I will never lose what is Mine. Be at peace. I AM the Lord your God, is anything too difficult for Me? Just believe and you will celebrate with joy the power of the Lord at work as I destroy the Enemy. A new day is dawning, the day of the Lord. 

WORD OF GOD - IS 26:3-4

 ISAIAH 26:3-4

You keep in perfect peace

the one of steadfast mind,

the one who trusts in you.

Trust in the Lord forever,

for the Lord is an everlasting Rock.

---- Mine,

Peace is my gift to you. It is not the peace of the world but My own peace. Do not be troubled or afraid. Receive the peace that comes from putting down roots deep into Me and having the life of My Spirit coursing through you. In a world filled with division, hatred, violence, evil, fear, discord, and sin, I give you peace that the world cannot give. Place all your hope and trust in Me. Even in the darkest hour when all seems hopeless, trust in Me and you will see My glory, My power, My victory, My triumph. Deep and abiding peace is My gift to all who are planted on the everlasting Rock of the Son of God. You walk in perfect peace when you walk with Me for you have God for your Friend.

WORD OF GOD - JN 8:51

JOHN 8:51

Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.

---- Mine,

He who keeps My Word keeps the Eternal Word of God. Obedience to the Word ensures life in abundance. I AM the light of the world follow Me and death will have no power over you for even if you die, you will live. Keep My Word and I will make my home in you. Fear nothing for fear has no place in love just live in My love and you will live.

WORD OF GOD - 14:13, 14

EXODUS 14:13, 14

‘Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today.

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.’

---- Mine,

It is easy to become discouraged when you take your gaze away from Me and fix it on the world. Be not afraid. I have overcome the world. Remain faithful to Me and to My Word and you will see the power of God, the glory of God, and the triumph of the Most High. Have I not told you over and over again, 'Be not afraid you are Mine?' Believe in Me and believe in the power of My Word and My Spirit. I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD - ESTHER 15:9, 11 & 5:3

 ESTHER 15:9, 11 & 5:3

What is it, Esther? I am your brother. Take heart. Come, speak to me. Speak to me. What is it, Queen Esther? Tell me what you wish. Even if it is half of my kingdom, I will give it.

---- Mine,

Today I ask you to tell me what is it you desire more than anything else? Don't be afraid, ask for what you wish boldly, confidently, with certainty knowing that all is Mine to command and all will be granted to you if you desire it. Have I not laid down My life for you? Did I not save you from eternal death? Have I not given you My own Holy Spirit to abide in you? Have I not made you my sister and given you the freedom to address My Father as your Father too? What more can I do for you that I have not yet already done even to the half of My Kingdom for you are co-heir with Me? Be not afraid just believe that I AM with you always and I will not permit even a hair of your head to be harmed. Remain always in My love.

WORD OF GOD - JN 2:1-5

JOHN 2:1-5

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’

---- My own,

I performed this sign on the third day of My public ministry. Recall that it was on the third day I rose from the dead and made all things new. I was sent into the world because God's chosen people had run out of wine. They can be no celebration without the New Wine that I came to give of water, the Word, and the Spirit. All who drink it receive new life, life that lasts, for the Wine I provide will never run out. Pay heed to what My Mother says to all the servants of the Lord, "Do whatever he tells you." It is also what My Father always says, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” In this alone is life, everlasting life.

WORD OF GOD - EZ 18:21-23

EZEKIEL 18:21-23

But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die. None of the transgressions that they have committed shall be remembered against them; for the righteousness that they have done, they shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, says the Lord God, and not rather that they should turn from their ways and live?

---- Mine,

The price is paid and the sinner is redeemed. Anyone, no matter how wicked their past, has only to raise their eyes to Me and ask for mercy, forgiveness, and pardon and it is granted gladly. Every sin is forgiven and the soul is washed clean. I keep no memory of the transgressions of the repentant sinner but I do remember every righteous deed, every good thought, every act of kindness and goodness and these will be rewarded a hundred-fold. Do good and shun evil. Come to Me and I will wipe every tear from your eye no longer will you go about sighing and heavy-hearted for I, the Lord, Your God who saved you has claimed you for My own now and forever. 

WORD OF GOD - PVBS 8:13 & 17

 PROVERBS 8:13 & 17

The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.

I love those who love me,
and those who seek me diligently find me.

---- Mine,

Only the childlike and humble of heart find a home in Me, they rest in Me, It is I who teach the little ones who are called by My Name. Anyone who hears My voice and follows Me will be taught by My Spirit.  Call on Me and I will answer. Seek Me and you will find Me.  I will never leave or forsake those who are Mine. Be still and listen to the voice of wisdom and yield in all things to the Holy Spirit and you will know perfect peace in a world of turmoil and trouble.

WORD OF GOD - IS 59:21

ISAIAH 59:21

And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord: my spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your children, or out of the mouths of your children’s children, says the Lord, from now on and forever.

---- My Own,

I have made an irrevocable covenant of love with you and with all those you love, those closest and most precious to you. My Spirit which I have given you will be with you always - leading and guiding you, inspiring and teaching you. He has made His dwelling place within your soul and will never leave you. This same Spirit will also remain with those who are yours. Believe in Me and believe in My Word.

DEUTERONOMY 15:10-11

Give liberally and be ungrudging when you do so, for on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. Since there will never cease to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, ‘Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land.’

---- Mine,

Learn to give as My Father gives, unstintingly, generously, without counting the cost. Giving expands your soul and enables it to receive a multitude of graces. Have a heart that is empathetic towards those less fortunate than yourself. There is always someone in need, someone grieving, someone hungry for kindness, someone thirsting for a word of encouragement, or just a smile. Hunger and thirst are not always for want of food and drink. Give and you will be given with a measure that is pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing. 

WORD OF GOD - IS 54:13, 17

 ISAIAH 54:13, 17

All your children will be taught by the Lord, and they will prosper greatly.

No weapon forged against you will succeed, and all who speak against you will be silenced. Such is the lot of the servants of the Lord, and such is the right I grant them—says the Lord.

---- Mine,

Believe all that I say to you this day. You know this to be true because you have already experienced it thus far. Today, I wish to assure you that it will continue to be so, for I love you and My protection extends over you and all whom you love. I Myself will teach your children and I will ensure they receive all that is necessary to lead them home safely to My Father's house. As for you, never forget that you belong to Me and are most beloved to Me. You are Mine.

WORD OF GOD - SIR 24:19-22

 SIRACH 24:19-22

‘Come to me, you who desire me,
and eat your fill of my fruits.
For the memory of me is sweeter than honey,
and the possession of me sweeter than the honeycomb.
Those who eat of me will hunger for more,
and those who drink of me will thirst for more.
Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame,
and those who work with me will not sin.’

---- Mine,

Because you are Mine, I will heap upon you a super-abundance of gifts beginning with the Gift of My Spirit. He is the treasure for which all is well lost. He is the pearl of great price possessing it you possess the Kingdom of God. Wisdom makes her dwelling place in the Holy Spirit and the Spirit grants her to all who come to Me, all who believe in Me, all who eat and drink of Me, all who receive life from Me.

WORD OF GOD - LK 15:22-24

 LUKE 15:22-24

But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!” And they began to celebrate.

---- My own,

Take a moment to reflect on how much the Father loves you. What does He care about your past sins grave though they might have been although they broke His heart at the time? All that matters now is that you have returned with a contrite heart and a broken spirit. Do not dwell on your past sins, they are all forgiven and hence the Father has no memory of it. Begin anew. The price is paid, you are redeemed. Remember, there is greater rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need for repentance. To the humble, obedient, and broken-hearted in spirit belong all the treasures of the Kingdom of My Father. Rejoice and be glad, you are home in My Fathers' house where you belong

WORD OF GOD - JER 33:3

JEREMIAH 33:3

He who made the earth, who fashioned and established it, he whose Name is Yahweh is speaking to you, “Call me and I shall answer. I will reveal to you great and mysterious things you have not known.”

---- Mine,

You are a daughter of God and all that is hidden is made known to those whom the Father has betrothed to Me. Listen and you will hear. See and you will behold. Open your heart to the Son of God and the Son of Man who desires to make His dwelling place in you and be united as one with you in the love of the Spirit. Be not afraid you are Mine, no one can take what belongs to Me.

WORD OF GOD - JN 7:37:38

 JOHN 7:37-38

Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water."

---- Mine,

Come, stand at the foot of the Cross, bathe in the water, and blood that flows from My heart. Believe in Me and you will be saved. Immerse yourself in My Word, make it your food and drink and springs of living water flowing from your heart as well. The things of the world cannot satisfy but I can, I will, I do. Come, drink deep of My love and you will have life in abundance.

WORD OF GOD - LK 21:3-4

LUKE 21:3-4

 ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.’

---- Mine,

The only kind of giving that is pleasing to My Father is the one in which one gives all of oneself to the Beloved. In love, half measures are unacceptable, love keeps nothing in reserve but pours itself out counting the giving pure joy. The poor widow went home with a heart filled with the loving presence of God and rich with a superabundance of grace. 

WORD OF GOD - LK 5:4

 LUKE 5:4

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’

---- Mine,

The Church, My Church, My Bride, of which Peter and each of his successors is the visible head, hear My voice and obey it. To them is given the courage to venture out fearlessly into the deep water where none have the temerity to go. They let down their nets exactly where they are inspired to do so by the power of the Holy Spirit and always haul in a large catch of souls for the Kingdom of God. The Bride hears the voice of the Bridegroom clearly and always speaks His Word in its entirety and always acts according to His will. She is neither deceived nor will she be deceived for the Spirit of Lord dwells in fullness in her.

WORD OF GOD - MT 12:19-21

 MATTHEW 12:19-21

He will not argue or shout, nor will his voice be heard in the streets. The  bruised reed he will not crush, nor snuff out the smoldering wick until he brings justice to victory, and in him, all the nations will put their hope.

---- Mine,

I came into the world to reveal the Face of God, the nature of God, the power of God, and the wisdom of God so all may believe and come to the knowledge of Truth. This is Truth, that the Son of God came into the world to lay down His life as a ransom for all. I came into the world to take by the hand not angels but the people of all nations who believe that the Father sent Me and I lead them to My Father's house. I AM He of whom it was said that I would be a sign of contradiction to the world to confound the proud and the haughty and bring deliverance and hope to the poor. 

WORD OF GOD - IS 16:5

I AM the Lord your God, there is no other. There is no help but the help that comes from Me. Ask and I will give you all the grace and strength you need until the end of your pilgrim journey on earth. You are Mine.

WORD OF GOD - RM 14:17, 19

ROMANS 14:17, 19

The kingdom of God is not a matter of food or drink; it is justice, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Let us look, then, for what strengthens peace and makes us better.

---- My own,

Disunity, discord, and destruction are the work of Satan and his minions. All who live by the Spirit are bearers of peace and they promote peace, good-will, and harmony. God's children work together to build up not tear down. I was sent into the world to save it and to make the Father's love known. It is His desire that all His children believe in Me and believing are saved. Peace is My gift to you. Not a peace that compromises what is good, and true but a peace that the world cannot give. The peace I give is made manifest in loving service to one another and in laying down one's life for one's friends.

Before the words are out of your mouth I have heard you. Never forget that you belong to Me. I will always protect you for I AM not only your Brother, I AM your Redeemer, your Savior, your Friend, and your Lord and your God.

 PSALM 45:10-11

Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
forget your people and your father’s house,
and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him.

You are a daughter of the Most High because you are baptized and grafted into Me. You belong to My Father because you believe in Me. It has always been My Father's will that you are counted among those to whom is granted the privilege of the faith so you were born into it.

WORD OF GOD - JN 3:34-35

JOHN 3:34-35

He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands.

---- Mine,

Looking around you and all that is happening in the world it is easy to get discouraged, to lose heart, to think that the world has reached the point of no return that all is lost and it is impossible to stop the world's headlong fall over the brink of into the abyss of disaster and doom. But those are the lies that the father of lies wants you to believe. God so loved the world that He sent Me, His only Son, into it, not to condemn it but to save it. I sent the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Life and Truth, the power of God, and the glory of God. He is at work in the world against all the forces of spiritual darkness. The Holy Spirit is given without measure to all who belong to Me. Love is stronger than death and will never be vanquished. Be not afraid.

WORD OF GOD -

 ISAIAH 63:9

In all their trials It was not a messenger or an angel but he himself who delivered them. Out of his love and mercy, he redeemed
them, lifting them up and carrying them throughout the days of old.

---- Mine,

Listen and hold fast to what I say to you today. In all your trials, difficulties, anxieties, and fears, in sickness and in death, in good times and bad, in all the circumstances of your life, it is I Myself, no one else, who saves you, delivers you, consoles and comforts you, carries you. This is what I have done from the moment of your conception and will continue to do so all the days of your life.

 

WORD OF GOD - JN 8:31-32

 JOHN 8:31-32

You will be my true disciples if you keep my word. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

---- Mine,

My true disciples are those who model their lives on Me. I AM the Way, follow Me. I AM the Truth, believe in Me, I AM the Life, receive Me. You cannot keep My Word if you are ignorant of it.

so my soul longs for you, O God.

Hunger and thirst for Me as I hunger and thirst for your love. Remain in me and I will remain with you always. My Face will shine on you and I will be your rock of refuge, your shelter, your comfort, and your shade.

WORD OF GOD - MT 8:23-26

 MATTHEW 8:23-26

Jesus got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a fierce storm burst upon the lake, with waves sweeping the boat. But Jesus was asleep. The disciples woke him up and cried, “Lord save us! We are lost!” But Jesus answered, “Why are you so afraid, you of little faith?” Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and sea; and it became completely calm.

---- Mine,

Follow Me even when you do not know where I lead you. When troubles and difficulties swamp you and you feel abandoned hold on to My Word assuring you that I will never leave you or forsake you for you are Mine. Have courage, have faith, believe. Trials last only a little while. Do not let fear overwhelm you. Do not permit terror to overpower you. The wind will die down, the waves will subside, I will calm the storm and all will be well.
