MATTHEW 12:19-21 (2023)

MATTHEW 12:19-21

He will not wrangle or cry aloud,
   nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
He will not break a bruised reed
   or quench a smouldering wick
until he brings justice to victory.
   And in his name the Gentiles will hope.’

---- mine,

The Holy Spirit - the Spirit of the Father and the Son is as gentle as the dew but will accomplish all that needs to be accomplished. The Breath of God and the Love of God, the Wisdom of God and the Power of God is gentle, pure, and can be perceived and experienced only by those who seek Me with all their heart. When the Spirit convicts you of sin, of wrongdoing, of transgression He will do so with compassion. He knows you are weak and He will correct you firmly but with gentleness. Neither My Father nor I seek the death of the sinner rather we desire repentance, contrition, humility, and a firm resolve with the help of the Spirit of God to sin no more. Victory is yours in My Name - hope in Me with all your heart and you will receive all that your heart desires. I AM the Lord your God there is no other but I AM also Your Savior and Redeemer, your Brother, your Spouse, and your Friend. Come to Me. Lean on Me. Trust in Me. Be at peace for I have conquered the world.

PSALM 18:35-36 (2023)

PSALM 18:35-36

You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.

---- mine,

Yes, it is I who have been with you from the moment you were conceived in your mother's womb but long before this the Father had already conceived you in His heart. He intended you to be born and to someday return to the place that was created for you from eternity. You are covered in the Blood of the Lamb. You are fed on the Bread of Angels, Manna from Heaven, the Holy Eucharist, the Bread of Life - you eat My Flesh and you drink My Blood and you receive life in abundance. Trials, suffering, pain, heartache, sorrow, and heartbreak are all part of the pilgrim's experience for the road to the Kingdom of God is narrow and this is why few choose it. But with Me the Way is easy and the burdens of life are light because I carry you. I hold you steady with My victorious right hand so your feet will not slip. Continue to remain in My love and I assure you that you and your household will come to Me and remain with Me forever.

DEUTERONOMY 31:8 (2023)

DEUTERONOMY 31:8

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.’

---- mine,

I know every thought that passes through your mind. Take heart. Have courage. I AM here and I will never leave you never will I abandon you. Never will you have to say I am alone there is no one to help me. It is I, the Lord our God who made the heavens and the earth who assures you once again today as I have done so often in the past that I stoop low over you - I AM so close to you that I hear every sigh. I am aware of your breathing. I AM so close to you I know your thoughts. I am aware of the prayers that you are praying and I hear you call My Name constantly. Lean on Me. Rest in Me. Be still and at peace knowing that God is fighting every one of your battles for you. Remain in Me as I remain in you and fear nothing. I repeat - fear nothing for fear weakens your faith and opens you up to anxiety and distress. Be not afraid ---- my own. Be not afraid for I AM with you now and forever.

BARUCH 5:5-6 (2023)

BARUCH 5:5-6

Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height; look towards the east,
and see your children gathered from west and east
at the word of the Holy One,
rejoicing that God has remembered them.

For they went out from you on foot,
led away by their enemies;
but God will bring them back to you,
carried in glory, as on a royal throne.

---- mine,

Never for an instant believe that a single prayer remains unheard. I who am closer to you than you are to yourself know all, hear all, receive all, and answer all your prayers of intercession and supplication for those who are nearest, dearest, and closest to your heart. Be still, ---- mine, and know that I AM GOD and I will never leave you, never forsake you, never abandon you or anyone you pray for. I desire their salvation even more than you do so do not lose heart. Have courage. Remain steadfast in faith and hope and in the end you will rejoice for you will receive all that you have asked for in prayer and so much more. I AM WHO AM loves the sinner and I will pursue the lost until they turn to Me and I will rescue them and save them.

PSALM 23:4 (2023)

PSALM 23:4

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
   I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
   your rod and your staff—
   they comfort me.

---- mine,

This is the truth that I keep reminding you day after day. No matter how dark or evil the day, despite the fact that you find yourself plummeting into the depths of the valley and there seems no way out you need to fear nothing. No evil shall touch you. No harm shall come to you. Even when I lay the cross on your shoulder I will be bearing it with you. You will never have to bear your sorrows alone. The cross shall not crush you but it will strengthen you, purify you, give you courage, and enable you to grow in grace, humility, and in every virtue. Remember that the cross is the only way that can lead to salvation if there was any other I would have chosen it. But it is the cross alone that redeemed the world and I desire that you partake in some small way in the great work of redemption that God wrought on the Cross for the salvation of the world. Embrace all the sufferings that are yours to endure for a season and praise God for them for without the cross there would be no possibility for you to have a share in My Crown of glory.

When you walk through the angry waters of life I will take you firmly by the hand and lead you. When the storms of life threaten to drown you I will still the storm to a gentle breeze. When all seems lost you will discover that nothing that was of worth is lost. Fear nothing ---- mine, except sin which is the only way you can separate yourself from Me. Remain in my love and you will live in My peace. Joy is My gift to you today let your heart be filled and exult in praise for all that I have done for you. Be still and let your soul be filled with My Presence. Life in abundance is yours now and always.

SONG OF SONGS 4:10-12 (2023)

SONG OF SONGS 4:10-12

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.
A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
   a garden locked, a fountain sealed.

---- mine,

This is how I see you, of course I know that you are flawed, you are a sinner, you are weak, and you are frail but I also see what you can be and are becoming under the influence of My Holy Spirit. I desire to adorn you with all the jewels of the virtues and this is why I often lift the Chalice of Suffering to your lips so you can have a share in the great work of salvation that I wrought for the whole world on the Cross on Calvary. Without suffering you cannot grow in the virtues and experience empathy and, compassion for so many who suffer cruel oppression under the hands of their brothers and sisters. Rejoice in all the circumstances of your life and pray always with hope that every prayer you raise to My Father in heaven is heard and answered. Let the fragrance of holiness emanate from you and let praise like honey and milk flow ceaselessly from your lips for praise is fitting for hearts that are loyal and are wholly Mine. And never, never forget ---- my own, that you belong to Me. I have redeemed you. I have purchased you. I lay down My life and I took upon Myself your death this is why from this day forth you no longer belong to yourself but to Me in time and in eternity, my sister and my bride.

Arise, my love, my fair one,
   and come away.
O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
   in the covert of the cliff,
let me see your face,
   let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
   and your face is lovely.

Every morning you come to Me and spend time with Me and I delight in spending this time with you. I wait for you and long to listen to the sound of your voice. I desire to listen to all your troubles, fears, and doubts. Continue to confide in Me all your difficulties share with Me the things that bring you joy. How I enjoy listening to your praises and thanksgiving because you give glory where glory is due to My Father, to the Holy Spirit, and to Me.

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!

SIRACH 32:14

One who seeks God will accept his discipline,
and those who rise early to seek him will find favor.

---- mine,

I know that you chafe under discipline but it is necessary to make you aware of your weaknesses, sins, and failings so you can correct your faults and grow in virtue. It is through suffering that you are purified and strengthened. Accept all your suffering as a gift from God and when you are being chastised examine your life and discover where it is that you need to correct yourself. Recognize your sins and the areas in which you fall short regularly and ask the Holy Spirit to help you root out these imperfections. Grace is always available to you in abundance all you have to do is ask and you will receive. I do commend you and I bless you immensely daily for your faithfulness in rising before dawn to spend the early hours of your day with Me. I delight in being with you and I assure you that I hear and answer all your prayers. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, for you belong to Me. You are mine now and forever.

MARK 8:34-35 (2023)

MARK 8:34-35

He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.

---- mine,

Today I make this clarion call to all of you who are My disciples, you who are called by My Name, as well as to the whole world. Let all those who have ears hear, those who have understanding listen and obey. This is an urgent call here and now to forget yourself, and purge yourself of all attachments and attractions that bring you death rather than life in My Spirit. Anyone who desires to follow Me must lose themselves in Me, strip themselves of all inordinate desires that wound the body, the soul, and spirit, and bring death. I desire to give you life in abundance but first, you must pick up your cross daily, joyfully, promptly, obediently, humbly, and come after Me and I assure you that not just you but your entire household will be saved.

Remain with Me and I will remain with you and you will experience peace in the midst of tribulation and joy in the midst of sorrow. Come to Me, learn from Me, rest in Me and I will take you by the hand and lead you to the place that I have prepared for you before the foundations of the world were laid for you are mine.

ESTHER 15:8B, 9, 10A, 11-12

He sprang from his throne, took Esther in his arms until she had recovered and comforted her with soothing words. “What is it, Esther?” he said. “I am your brother. Take heart. You will not die. Come, speak to me.” He raised the golden scepter, touched her neck with it, then embraced her saying, “Speak to me.”

---- mine,

Why are you discouraged ---- my own, you do Me a great disservice when you are anxious despite knowing that I AM the Sovereign Lord. How often must I encourage you, console you, assure you that you need to fear nothing, be anxious about nothing, am I, not your Brother, your Savior, your Deliverer, your Bridegroom? Are you not espoused to Me? Come, speak to Me, make known all your troubles to Me and I assure you that I will hear and answer you. Be not afraid ---- mine, not for yourself or for those you love.

“Whatever your petition is, queen Esther, it shall be granted.
Whatever request you make shall be fulfilled,

All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will give it to you. Why? Because you are His beloved daughter, because you are espoused to Me I Am the Bridegroom of your soul. Because the Holy Spirit of Truth and of Love has made His home in you - you are the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, for I have overcome the world and with Me you and all those whom you pray for with tears and sighs and over whom you lament night and day I will heal, I will bless, I will restore.

Recall that you are but a steward and all you have been given is Mine and one day you will be asked to render to Me a strict account of your stewardship. If your heart and your hands are open, if your ears are attuned to the cries of those who hunger and thirst and you give readily then I assure you that when you cry out to Me for help not just for you but for those you love and for whom you cry out to Me night and day, I will hear and I will answer and I will give them all that you have asked for in prayer and more.

Let this truth console you and when you sin, you stumble, you falter and you fall, call out to Me and I will pick you up. I will wash you clean. I will bless you and fill you with grace once more. I feed you with My Body and Blood and in eating My Flesh and drinking My Blood you receive eternal life. Do not fear anything but keep your gaze steadfastly on Me not on the things that afflict those you love and I assure you that by My strong right hand and with My victorious arm I will lead you and your loved ones safely to the Kingdom of God and to the place prepared for each of you by My Father before He laid the foundations of the world.
