WORD OF GOD - MT 13:44

MATTHEW 13:44

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

---- Mine,

The Kingdom of God is hidden in your heart. Once you discover and uncover it you will readily give up everything in order to possess it. The kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit and having found it you will quickly understand that it is better to lose your life for My sake than to cling to it. Strip yourself of all that keeps you earthbound and you will soar in the Spirit to union with Me. 

WORD OF GOD - EZ 37:26-27

EZEKIEL 37:26-27

I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them for evermore. My dwelling-place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

---- Mine,

Never forget for an instant that I am with you always. I AM your peace, I AM your blessing, I AM God's Covenant of Love with you. Trust in Me with all your heart and never forget that you are Mine bound irrevocably to Me with cords of love and sealed in Me with My Spirit. I AM God and I AM also your Brother, Friend, and Spouse. Remain in Me as I remain in you always.

WORD OF GOD - MK 15:33-34

 MARK 15:33-34

When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

---- Mine,

Dark days come into every life this is why anyone who experiences it can come to Me. I know and I understand. All that one can and must do as one gropes in the night is to reach out with trust and confidence knowing that they are not alone. I will grasp that hand that is thrust out in helpless agony. God never forsakes those who are His own. My Father did not forsake Me. At the time when I felt most the horror of sin that cost Me My Life, My Father was as near to Me as He ever was. I experienced being forsaken by Him for your sake so you could never say, or think that I do not understand. There is nothing about the human condition that I did not experience. I suffered and was tempted in every way that human beings are, except that I did not sin. This is why you can come to always, you can reach out to Me, you can tell Me anything and I will understand. I will bring you help, aid, comfort, healing, and relief. You see, ---- Mine, I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD - LAM 3:57

LAMENTATIONS 3:57

You came near when I called on you;
you said, ‘Do not fear!’

---- My own,

Fix your gaze on Me. It is from Me that you receive help, confidence, and strength to fight the Enemy. Never for an instant forget who you are, by what means you have been redeemed, and the price paid for your redemption. You are no longer a slave but a child of God use your freedom wisely and you will not stray from the path that leads to eternal life. And remember this always, I, the Lord your God, have chosen you to be Mine in time and eternity. Remain in My love.

WORD OF GOD - PS 18:17

PSALM 18:17

Reaching down from above,
he drew me out of the deep waters.

---- My own,

Never for an instant forget that I AM with you always. Before your sigh leaves your lips I hear it, while your prayer of supplication is still in your heart I answer it. Before you stretch out your hand I reach out Mine so you can grasp it. I stoop over you guarding, protecting, strengthening, encouraging, guiding, and leading you on the path of life. Fear nothing. I AM your shelter and your shade you are Mine. Rest in My love.

WORD OF GOD - DN 14:38

DANIEL 14:38

 “You have remembered me, O God, and have not forsaken those who love you.”

---- Mine,

Keep this thought ever before you especially when difficulties come and you are assailed on all sides by trouble and worry. You are always before Me and My gaze is fixed on you. Before you stumble I reach out and steady you. Before you fall I reach out and take your hand. Should you fall I will pick you up and strengthen you to begin anew. Never forget that you belong to Me, I have carved your name on the palm of My hand. No power can wrest you from Me. I paid for your redemption you are Mine. Rest in My love. 

WORD OF GOD - 1 MACC 2:61-63

 1 MACCABEES 2:61-63

‘And so observe, from generation to generation, that none of those who put their trust in God will lack strength. Do not fear the words of sinners, for their splendour will turn into dung and worms. Today they will be exalted, but tomorrow they will not be found, because they will have returned to the dust, and their plans will have perished.

---- Mine,

From generation to generation, those who have placed all their hope and trust in God have never been disappointed. The whole world has seen the might of the Lord on Calvary's hill. The weakness of God is greater than the power of those considered mighty in the world. Be not afraid of what the world can do to you. The wicked are like grass here today and gone tomorrow. As for you, My own, who are called by My Name, you who are mine in time and eternity, never forget that I AM God. The proud, the vain, the sinner, the blasphemer, is but a puff of smoke. Be not afraid. Remain in Me as I remain in you.

WORD OF GOD - MK 3:34-35

MARK 3:34-35

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.’

---- Mine,

To do the will of My Father was food and drink to Me and so it must be for you if you are to be Mine and receive a share in My inheritance. What is God's will for you? It is to know Me, to love Me, to believe in Me, to put all your faith, hope, and trust in Me. The will of God is for you to walk in the Way of the Cross for it is the only Way to Life. There is salvation in no one but Me. If you love Me above all and before all, you will have My Father for your Father, My Holy Spirit as Your Helper, and Guide, and Me for Your Brother, Spouse, and Friend.   

WORD OF GOD - WIS 2:22-24

WISDOM 2:22-24

They did not know the secret purposes of God,
nor hoped for the wages of holiness,
nor discerned the prize for blameless souls;
for God created us for incorruption,
and made us in the image of his own eternity,
but through the devil’s envy death entered the world,
and those who belong to his company experience it.

---- Mine,

The wages of sin is death, the wages of holiness is incorruption. The world hates all who belong to Me because they love Me and keep My Word. The powerful witness of those who walk on the side of truth rouses the envy and anger of those who choose evil. The wicked hate the righteous and the just with a ferocity that drives them to madness. Every ounce of their energy is spent in plotting evil against the people of God. But I say to you, 'Fear not! Take heart! Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.'

WORD OF GOD - JOB 19:25-27

JOB 19:25-27

For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that at the last he will stand upon the earth

and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!

---- Mine,

Never doubt for an instant that you will receive the inheritance that the Father has prepared for you since the dawn of creation. Conceived in the heart and mind of God, redeemed by My Blood, and born of water and the Holy Spirit, yours is a glorious destiny. Remain in My love in time and you will be Mine eternally. 

WORD OF GOD - IS 51:13-14

ISAIAH 51:13-14

You have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.
You fear continually all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor,
who is bent on destruction.
But where is the fury of the oppressor?
The oppressed shall speedily be released;
they shall not die and go down to the Pit,
nor shall they lack bread.

----Mine,

Fear has no place in the lives of the children of God. All troubles shall pass and all sorrow will end, they are like grass here today and gone tomorrow but I AM forever. I AM God and you belong to Me. Not a hair on your head will be harmed. No one shall lay a hand on you to torment you for you are the apple of My eye. You shall not die, you will live for you are fed on My Body, you are washed in My Blood, you are called by My Name, you are sealed in My Spirit. No one takes what is Mine and You are Mine, now and eternally.

WORD OF GOD - PS 138:7

PSALM 138:7

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
and your right hand delivers me.

---- Mine,

Know this - you are Mine, you belong to Me, you were purchased by My Blood. I redeemed you. I paid your ransom to death with My Life so you could live. Fear nothing. No harm can come to you, no evil can touch you. Walk in My footsteps, I will be your shade and I will protect you. I will deliver you from all your fears for I AM God. Do not stray from the path of life and I will lead you to My Father's house where you will live with Me forever.

WORD OF GOD - PS 73:24-26

 PSALM 73:24-26

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,

You are the apple of My eye. Never forget that I AM with you always. I take you by the hand and lead you at your pace from this life to the place where My Father and I dwell with the Holy Spirit so where I AM you too will be. Fear nothing but live in faith, be guided by it, let it be the light that illumines all you say and do. Stay close to Me and remain in Me. Do not let go of My hand lest your foot stray and you stumble and fall, but should you do, rise up, and start over. Life is perilous but I make the journey easy if You remain in My love.

WORD OF GOD - PVB 16:24

PROVERBS 16:24

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

---- My own,

Much division, hatred, fear, violence, and evil are caused by words that result in the heart becoming bitter and the soul overcome by sadness and suffering. Words must be used to build up not to tear down. Discord is sown by unnecessary words carelessly spoken. It is far better to hold your tongue and be silent no matter what the provocation. It is better to be humble than to be right. It is better to love than to win an argument and lose a friend.

WORD OF GOD - DT 5:9-10

DEUTERONOMY 5:9-10

I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

---- Mine,

The grave sin of parents is their failure to keep My commandments, to abide by the teachings of the Church, to grow in the faith given to them as a gift, and the greatest failure of all is not making make even the feeblest attempt to hand it down to their children. This is how children are punished by the iniquity of their parents. But those who keep My commandments and are faithful to the teachings of My Church, and lovingly and patiently teach their children to do the same by word and by example, from one generation to the next, to these I will reveal my steadfast love to the thousandth generation.

WORD OF GOD - JER 9:23-24

JEREMIAH 9:23-24

Thus says the Lord: Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom, do not let the mighty boast in their might, do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth; but let those who boast boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

---- Mine,

Be still and know that I AM God. No harm will come to those who are marked by My Cross and sealed in My Blood. To you is given the Holy Spirit who lives in you, animates you, breathes life in you, and draws you ever closer into union with My Father and Me. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

 

WORD OF GOD - IS 61:10-11

ISAIAH 61:10-11

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.

---- Mine,

Exultant joy must be the condition of every soul that belongs to Me, You are saved by My Blood, you are washed clean in the waters of baptism, you have received the Holy Spirit, and are robed in garments of virtue. Make a total gift of yourself Me as My spouse, My bride, and I will adorn you with grace and heap blessings on you each time your lips, your heart, and your spirit say 'Jesus'.  The sound of My Name whispered by you in prayer, praise, thanksgiving, adoration, and worship is a sweet consolation to Me for few love Me and many reject Me. But all who do receive Me, all who make a home for Me in their hearts, I will come to them, abide in them, establish My Kingdom in them, and cause justice, righteousness, and peace to flower among them.  

WORD OF GOD - JOB 19:25-27

JOB 19:25-27

For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that at the last he will stand upon the earth;
and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!

---- Mine,

Remember always, keep this truth ever before you, even if the mountains fall, the waves roar, and all around you is terror, chaos, trouble, violence, and evil, know that I AM God, there is no other. The victory is won. I have triumphed over the world, the flesh, and the devil. Rejoice, you who believe in Me, you who know Me, you who come to visit Me and to adore and worship Me veiled and hidden in the Eucharist. You who eat My Body and drink My Blood and receive a plenitude of grace in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - peace, and joy are yours in this present life and the fullness of joy with Me in eternity.

WORD OF GOD - IS 55:8-9

ISAIAH 55:8-9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

---- Mine,

Do not look to the world for wisdom, comfort, or direction. The world does not know Me. My thoughts confound the proud and the haughty, the boastful and the spiritually slothful, but to those who are meek and humble in heart, they are spirit and life. Those who choose the broad and easy road are many for My way is the way of suffering. Choose the narrow road gladly and pick up your cross daily and follow Me. It is the narrow way that leads to the Kingdom of God. 

WORD OF GOD - MK 7:21-23

MARK 7:21-23

 ‘It is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.’

---- My own,

Nothing unclean can enter the presence of God. Be on your guard against all forms of evil and do not permit evil desires to gain a foothold in your soul. Keep your gaze fixed on me not on the world nor on your weaknesses, trust Me with all your heart, and fear nothing. I have overcome the world.

 

WORD OF GOD - PS 62:11-12

PSALM 62:11-12

Once God has spoken;
   twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
   and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
   according to their work.

---- Mine,

I AM the Word of God, the Eternal Word of the Father, the Son of God, and the Son of Man. The Word of God by the will of God became Flesh for the life of the world. The Word of God is steadfast love, unchanging love, unwavering love, it is the same yesterday, today, and always. To the Word, now enthroned on the Seat of Justice, is given all authority, rule, dominion, and power to judge and reward all according to their deeds. Believe and be saved. 

WORD OF GOD - DN 6:26-27

 DANIEL 6:26-27

He is the living God,
enduring forever.
His kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion has no end.
He delivers and rescues,
he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth.

---- My own,

Once again I assure you that all who walk in the presence of God need fear nothing. The Light of God shines on you and illumines your path so you will not stray, stumble, or fall. I AM the Lord your God, I walk with you and I assure you that I will do so all the days of your life. Do not look at the world or like Peter, you will be overcome with fear and sink. Keep your gaze fixed on Me alone and I will take you safely to harbor, to the place where I dwell. Be not afraid, I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD - EZ 37:26-27

 EZEKIEL 37:26-27

I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forevermore. My dwelling-place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

---- My own,

It is easy to get anxious, dismayed, and to feel disconsolate when you look at all that is happening around you in the world. Remember it has always been so among the children of Adam. It is the children of God, possessing the power of love, who labor to make Me known, loved, and present in the world by building My Kingdom on earth. Those who know My Name, those who are called by My Name, will increase and multiply and I will reign to the ends of the earth. Be not afraid I have overcome the world. 

WORD OF GOD - MK 6:50

MARK 6:50

‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’

---- Mine,

There will be times in your life when troubles overwhelm you, during these and at all other times, remember that I AM with you always. No harm will come to you and to those you love and hold close to your heart. Have I not told you that you are Mine? Fear nothing, believe that I who am with you always will guard you against every evil. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

 

WORD OF GOD - LK 12:6-7

LUKE 12:6-7

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

---- Mine,

Have you noticed the abundance of sparrows, they are everywhere and God is aware of every single one of them. Remember that You are worth so much more to Him than little sparrows. His love for you cost Him His Son. He gave Me up to death so you may live because He could not bear losing you. This is how much He loves you. Never doubt Your Father's love for you ever.

 

WORD OF GOD - MT 21:22

MATTHEW 21:22

Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.

---- Mine,

Dare to ask in faith for the desire to always seek My will in all things and pray for courage to do it no matter the cost. Ask and you will be given the grace you need to seek nothing in this life that is contrary to My will for you. Do this and you will be filled with the life of the Holy Spirit and with joy always.

WORD OF GOD - LK 1:45-47

LUKE 1:45-47

"Blessed are you, who believed that the Lord’s word would come true!” 

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, 

 my spirit exults in God, my savior!"

---- Mine,

An authentic disciple is one who believes that every word that proceeds from the mouth of God fulfills all that it sets out to do. God's Word does not return to Him empty. It is life-giving and where there is life there is God. The soul of the disciple is always in a state of exultation because it recognizes the hand of God and the will of God in all things. It knows that all that comes from God is good, is needful for the soul, and strengthens it to meet every challenge in this valley of tears. Be still, know that I AM God and I AM with you always.

WORD OF GOD - GAL 4:31

GALATIANS 4:31

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

---- Mine,

Remember, you are no longer a child of the woman Eve, nor of the slave woman Hagar, but of the new Eve, Mary, My Mother, since you are grafted into My Body in Baptism. God is Your Father, you are a child of God and heir to His Kingdom. Those who are in sin are slaves to sin and as long as sin rules you, you are a slave and in bondage to the sins that rule your life and dictate your words and actions. I have set you free from the yoke of slavery to sin and invite you to yoke yourself to Me. Do this and you will be free indeed.

WORD OF GOD - JER 1:7-8

JEREMIAH 1:7-8

You shall go to all to whom I send you,
and you shall speak whatever I command you.
Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you.

---- Mine,

Have an open heart and a generous spirit and you will go boldly wherever the Holy Spirit desires you to. Courage! Fear has no part in love. Hold on to My eternal promise that I AM with you. Nothing is impossible for those with faith even the size of a mustard seed. Pray without ceasing and you will always remain in My love.

WORD OF GOD - JN 10:11

JOHN 10:11

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

---- Mine,

I AM God, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of Sacrifice, the willing Victim for your sins and for the sins of the whole world. I AM God and I love you. Align your will to Mine and you will always walk in the Light of Truth that illumines the way to fullness of life and love in Me. 

 

WORD OF GOD - SIR 2:10-11

SIRACH 2:10-11

Consider the generations of old and see:
has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed? Or has anyone persevered in the fear of the Lord and been forsaken? Or has anyone called upon him and been neglected? For the Lord is compassionate and merciful; he forgives sins and saves in time of distress.

---- Mine,

You were created for Me this is why whenever you call I will answer. I hear every sigh, I know your thoughts, I AM with you, always. I walk with you, talk with you, inspire you to choose that which is good, to do what is honorable, and to have a right judgment in all things. I AM your God there is no other and I laid down My Life for you so you may live. Have I ever disappointed you in the past? Never doubt the power of My love for you. Ask for anything and you will receive it for I can deny you nothing that will unite you to Me in time and eternity. All I have is yours even the Kingdom of God. Live with confidence as a child of the Most High whose only Son is Your Brother, Friend, and Spouse. My Spirit lives in you, breathes in you, and animates you. Remain in My love.
