PSALM 94:18-19 (2024)

PSALM 94:18-19

When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’,
   your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
   your consolations cheer my soul.

---- mine,

My right hand holds you fast to My side. Fear nothing but fear itself. When you are afraid you lose focus when you take your gaze off Me you stumble and are in danger of falling. Trust Me at all times and let the praise of God be ever in your heart and on your lips. Keep your thoughts always on Me recalling past blessings, not difficulties and sorrows. Remember how I brought you through each one of them and let gratitude, praise, worship, adoration, and confidence in My love care, and protection overflow in your heart and soul. Let the praise of God be always on your lips and let My Word sustain you in times of difficulties. Know that I AM God and that I will never leave you, never will I forsake you for you are Mine. See, I have carved your name on the palms of My hand.

SIRACH 39:5-6 (2024)

 SIRACH 39:5-6

He sets his heart on rising early
   to seek the Lord who made him,
   and to petition the Most High;
he opens his mouth in prayer
   and asks pardon for his sins.

If the great Lord is willing,
   he will be filled with the spirit of understanding;
he will pour forth words of wisdom of his own
   and give thanks to the Lord in prayer.

---- mine,

Morning after morning you come to Me and spend the first hours of day with Me. I stoop low from My Throne in heaven to come to you, to listen to you, to comfort you, and assure you that I AM God and I love you with a love beyond your expectations or understanding. My love for you is everlasting. Frequent the Sacrament of Reconciliation often so you can approach Me with a blameless heart. Cleanse the sanctuary of your soul from even the smallest imperfections and it will be a place of great delight for Me to repose in and find respite from a world abounding with debauchery and filth. Remain in Me and I will remain in you. Tell Me everything; all that makes you anxious. Confide all your joys and sorrows all that troubles you and then be still and let My Spirit flow gently into your soul and fill you with My peace and My joy. Let Me fill you with all that you need to assist you in making your pilgrim journey from this life to eternity with Me in the next. Be still and know that I AM God and I love you.

MARK 11:24 (2024)

MARK 11:24

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

---- mine,

You as a parent know what your children need and have given it to them even before they asked if it was in your power to do so. How much more, ---- my own, will the Father, who loves and delights in His children, not give His children all they ask for in prayer? And He is God and can give you all you need for He is Jehovah jirah. He is the Creator who gives all holding nothing back. He did not hold Me back, His only Son but gave Me up for the redemption of His children making them His sons and daughters through the power of the Sacrifice of My life on Calvary. Have faith and trust that every prayer you raise to Him either in silence or through words, loud cries, and lamentation are heard and every one of them is answered. Believe this is true and be at peace for it is I, the Son of God, who speaks. The Father and I are one so believe Me when I say that all is well because God is good and ask for whatever you need in My Name and discover that in Me the Father's response is always Yes and Amen.

DANIEL 14:38 (2024)

DANIEL 14:38

Daniel said, “You have remembered me, O God, 

and have not forsaken those who love you.”

---- mine,

You are always before Me. You are always in My Presence. Your heart and mind are raised to Me often during the day and I AM attentive to the sound of your voice and the cries of your pleading. I AM not far from you but near. You repose in My Heart, you are at My side. I hear you breathe, I feel the anxious beat of your heart as you rest against Me. Once more, ---- my own, I say to you as I have said so often before, and will continue to do so each time in your frailty and weakness you ask for reassurance, I will say as often as you desire Me to say it, My faithfulness and love for your loved ones eternal. I AM GOD and you belong to Me. I AM always with you and I assure you that all is well not just with you but with all whom you pray for. Be at peace and trust Me.

PROVERBS 9:5-6 (2024)

PROVERBS 9:5-6

‘Come, eat of my bread
   and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Lay aside immaturity, and live,
   and walk in the way of insight.’

---- mine,

It has always been My Father's plan that His children should eat and drink Me and become like Me so you would truly be His daughters and sons, pleasing to Him always. The Eucharistic feast that I instituted at the Last Supper on the night of My betrayal, is the food and drink that wells up to eternal life in you. Unless you eat and drink the Flesh and Blood of the Son of Man you will have no life in you. I AM the fulfillment of the high priest Melchizedek and the prince of Salem, the prince of peace which is also My name. Eat me and drink Me as often as you can and you will have life, life that lasts. The Holy Eucharist makes you one with Me, you are transformed in Me, and the more you are conformed you are to Me the more closely will you resemble Me, and the Father will love you, and the Father and I will make our home in you. Fear nothing ---- my own except separation from Me. Dread sin and keep yourself from doing anything that would displease and wound Me and you will never be parted from Me. 

ISAIAH 60:19-20 (2024)

ISAIAH 60:19-20

The sun shall no longer be
   your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
   give light to you by night;
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
   and your God will be your glory.
Your sun shall no more go down,
   or your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
   and your days of mourning shall be ended.

---- mine,

Morning after morning you come to Me before dawn while it is still dark and the birds have yet to begin their morning hymns of praise except for the lone caw of crows. While the world is yet asleep you draw near to Me and I near to you and I hear you as you come to Me faithfully to pray, praise, glorify, and offer Me the first fruits of your day. And morning after morning I assure you that I hear, I listen, I am attentive to the sound of your cries, and I answer. I am ever present to you, your Lord, your God, your Savior, Redeemer, Messiah, your Spouse, and the Bridegroom of your soul. I AM the Light that illumines your life and your soul. Remain in Me ---- my own, and I will remain with you always. Keep the light of faith burning bright so that many may come to know Me through you. Have faith, I have overcome the world. Every prayer is heard and answered. Rejoice for your deliverance and the deliverance of everyone you pray for faithfully is at hand.

ISAIAH 65:24 (2024)

ISAIAH 65:24

Before they call I will answer,
while they are yet speaking I will hear.

---- mine,

Is this not what I say to you all the time? that I hear you always. I know your thoughts, I know everything that weighs heavy on your heart. I know that you always thinking of, and praying ceaselessly for those you love. You plead wordlessly for their salvation and their healing in every way. Have I not said to you that I have collected your tears, every one of them, and I have stored them in My Sacred Heart. Yes, ---- my own, even before you call Me, even before you speak My Name, I hear and I answer for I love you with an everlasting love and not just you but all those you love and pray for. I have heard and answered you and have already appointed the day and the hour when they will receive all you ask of Me for them and much more. Nothing pleases and delights Me more than to give you all you ask for and a share in My Kingdom as well for I desire that you and those you love come to Me and remain with Me eternally.

PSALM 131:2-3 (2024)

PSALM 131:2-3

I have quieted and stilled my soul,
like a weaned child, on its mother’s lap;
like a contented child is my soul.

Hope in the Lord, O Israel,
now and forever.

---- mine,

A humble, contrite heart I will not spurn. Stay little, stay small, and understand that without Me you are nothing but with Me, you can do all things. Unless you become like a little child you cannot enter the Kingdom of God for it is to the little ones that the Kingdom of God belongs. Trust in Me, hope in My Word. Without hope, you will never be happy, never know peace, and never possess serenity of soul. In this life, you will have difficulties. Each day brings its own troubles, how can you who have neither strength nor courage and are anxious about everything withstand the forces of darkness if you have no hope in My merits? Hope will enable you to face all the troubles and difficulties that you face each day. Hope in the merits I obtained for you on the Cross through the Sacrifice of My Life to My Father. Pray constantly and beg the Holy Spirit to never let hope dim for it is hope that will carry you like a buoy on the stormy waters of life. Be still and know that I AM God and I will never abandon you for you are Mine now and forever. Be of good cheer for I hear you always and I always answer. Wait in faith and hope for love makes all things new - God's love for you and your love for Me.

PSALM 66:16, 18-19 (2024)

PSALM 66:16-17, 19-20

Come and hear, all you who fear God,

   and I will tell what he has done for me.

I cried aloud to him,

   and he was extolled with my tongue.

But truly God has listened;

   he has given heed to the words of my prayer.

Blessed be God,

   because he has not rejected my prayer

   or removed his steadfast love from me.

---- mine,

Once more I say to you dry your eyes and calm your fears, no evil forged against you or those you love will prosper. By My Blood and by My Love I say to you today as I have said in the past and will continue to say to you tirelessly, for as long as you need consolation and assurance, no evil will touch you or those you love, those for whom you cry out to Me day and night. I am not deaf to the voice of your pleading. I have heard your sighs and I have heard your groans, Do not be afraid, ---- my own, it pleases My Father to give you and your loved ones a share in My inheritance. You are co-heirs with Me and in the end, the power of the Cross that has purchased the salvation of the whole world will triumph over all. Victory is Mine. Victory has been wrested from the jaws of seeming defeat through My life, passion, death, and resurrection. Exult with Me and rejoice for I have overcome the world and because of Me, you receive life and victory. Be not afraid, ---- my own. Be not afraid for it is I, your Lord and the Bridegroom of your soul who speaks.

ISAIAH 4:5-6 (2024)

ISAIAH 4:5-6

Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its places of assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night. Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy. It will serve as a pavilion, a shade by day from the heat, and a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.

---- mine,

On Mount Zion, I have built My Church and the gates of hell shall never prevail against it. Here it pleases Me to dwell in fullness, glory, majesty, power, and strength but above all in love. Nothing delights Me more than to dwell among My little ones, those I have chosen to be My own. Baptized into My Church conceived in My Sacred Heart, washed clean from the water flowing from My Side, and strengthened and made holy by the Holy Spirit. Here, in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, the sparrow makes its nest, the sheep of My flock find pasture, and lie down in peace for their abode is in Me. I  AM the Cornerstone of My Church which I established on Peter, the Rock. It is in this Church which the world and those of the world reject that I feed My lambs and My sheep with My Flesh. I slake their thirst for God, for love, for truth, and for life with My Blood, and they are made One in and through Me with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This is the family of God. Here I shelter My little ones from the scorching heat of the noonday sun. I shelter them in My arms from the storms of life. Here I keep My own, safe and I will lead them home as a shepherd leads his sheep for I AM the Good Shepherd I know My own and my own know Me They recognize My voice and they follow Me. Not one of them will be lost for it is I who will ensure that they come home in safety and share in the joys of the Kingdom of God forever. 

JOHN 1:14 (2024)

JOHN 1:14

And the Word was made flesh and
dwelt among us;
and we have seen his glory, the glory
of the only Son of the Father:
fullness of truth and loving-kindness.

---- mine,

You belong to Me. I paid the price for your salvation. I lay down My life so that you may live and experience life in abundance. Grace, peace, and loving-kindness are My Father's gifts to you because you have received, believed, and embraced the Truth that the Father sent His only Son into the world so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. 

What is eternal life and who receives it?  

Anyone who eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks My blood will never taste death but will receive eternal life which will well up to eternal life. 

Remain in Me and I will remain in you, shelter you, and shield you from the wiles of the Enemy. I love you with an everlasting love, I have purchased you - you are Mine in time and in eternity. Rejoice and be glad for it pleases the Father to give you a share in His Kingdom as His beloved child.

MATTHEW 6:20-21 (2024)

MATTHEW 6:20-21

Store up treasures for yourself with God,
where no moth or rust can destroy it,
nor thief come and steal it.
For where your treasures is,
there, also, will your heart be.

---- mine,

Every earthly thing that humans set store by that is created, of this world, and made by human beings has no place in the heavenly realm. All that is of the earth will perish, will decay, will be lost, can be stolen, and have no value at all when compared with the things of heaven. Beware of thinking and acting like those in the world who spend their whole lives not in the present moment but in an imaginary future life that they may or may not ever live to enjoy. They put up with people and situations that crush and destroy their spirit for some utopian future where they imagine themselves eating and drinking and being merry. It is to these that I say, 'You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?' You ---- my own, take heed. Do not find comfort in what you possess of this world rather store up for yourself treasures that are incorruptible. Do good while you still can, while today lasts. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is the day, the hour, the moment to live, to love and serve joyfully, willingly, and obediently, expecting your reward not from those in the world but from your Father in heaven who will reward you richly. 

PSALM 105:4 (2024)

 PSALM 105:4

Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.

---- mine,

Seek me while I can still be found. Come to Me often in the Blessed Sacrament and spend time with Me. I delight in seeing you. Even if you have nothing to say with your lips speak to Me with your heart. Remain in silence for I hear the words that your heart speaks. Let My love flow into your body, mind, soul, and spirit. Let Me drench you in My love and when you return to the world permit My love to flow from you into everyone you meet. The more you pour out My love on others the more will I fill you. Come often to the Source Of Love and I will replenish it. You have received Gifts from the Holy Spirit use them to bear fruit that will last. Let all who come to you find Me in you and having found Me may they permit Me to possess them body and soul just as you permit Me to possess you body and soul. Remain in Me, remain in My love, and you will find perfect rest for your soul.

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7 (2024)

SONG OF SONGS 8:5a, 6-7

Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning upon her beloved?

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of one’s house,
it would be utterly scorned.

---- mine,

Lean on Me, you have a rightful claim on My Heart. Receive your strength from Me. Am I not your Lord and your God? Am I not your Spouse? Am I not the Bridegroom of your soul? To whom will you run except to Me, whom will you cling to but Me, who has loved you with an everlasting love. I have poured out My life for you as a libation so you may live. I have called you by your name. I have washed you from every stain of iniquity. I have sealed you in the power of My Holy Spirit. I have taken you by the hand leading you every step of the way through the valley of tears, sorrow, and suffering until I bring you safely to My Father's House and to eternal life and joy. Nothing can snatch you away from Me. No power can separate us. Only you can do that. You have the power to turn your face from Me. You have the power to let go of My Hand. Choose Me and you choose life. Choose Me and you choose love that will never end. You are Mine and Mine you will remain in time and eternity. Fear nothing, ---- my own, it pleases My Father to give you the Kingdom.

ESTHER 14:14, 15:9-12 (2024)

ESTHER 14:14, 15:9-12

But save us by your hand, and help me, who am alone and have no helper but you, O Lord. 

‘What is it, Esther? I am your husband. Take courage; You shall not die, for our law applies only to our subjects. Come near.’

Then he raised the golden sceptre and touched her neck with it; he embraced her, and said, ‘Speak to me.’ 

---- mine,

Each time you cry out to Me, each time you reach out for Me, each time I see your eyes filled with tears and spilling down your cheeks, each time I see how sorrow overflows from your heart and you cry out to Me for help and comfort, praying ceaselessly for those you love, for their salvation, for their well being for their healing I hear you ---- my own. I hear you and invite you to draw near to Me as I draw near to you and I enfold you in a close embrace. So close that our hearts beat as one. Fret not. Dry your eyes. Am I not your Spouse, your Brother, your Friend, the Bridegroom of your soul? Will I not hear and answer you because I love you so tenderly I lay down My life and not just for you but all those you pray for so faithfully? I AM God and nothing is impossible for Me. Never cease speaking to Me. Bring all your troubles to Me and I will hear you, answer you, and give you all you ask for. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

PSALM 23:1 (2024)

PSALM 23:1

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 

---- mine,

I AM the Good Shepherd I know My sheep and Mine know Me. I know you, I have always known you, from eternity to eternity you are Mine. Do not allow the troubles of this world to weigh you down, Trust in me Am I, not your Spouse, the Bridegroom of your Soul? Have I not loved you and cared for you with an unwavering love even when you wandered far from Me? My love is everlasting. I AM God and not man and My Word is true. I have made promises to you concerning your loved ones and I KEEP MY WORD. All that I have said I will do. Be not afraid, be not troubled, rest in My Love and I will give you My peace and joy. You will taste the goodness of God in this life and you will enjoy it fully in the life to come. Be not afraid You are Mine in time and in eternity.

MATTHEW 19:30, 20:16 (2024)

MATTHEW 19:30, 20:16

But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first. 

So will it be: the last will be first, the first will be last.’ 

---- mine,

As you know in the Kingdom of Heaven all things are opposed to the things of the world and those who embrace the ways of the world. In My Father's House the humble are raised and the proud cast into the darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. In the Kingdom of My Father those who were last in the world but who continued to live to praise God and obey His will in all things no matter how difficult it was and despite all they suffered for keeping My commandments will receive eternal life and will share in My glorious inheritance. In the world the rich, the powerful, the influential, who are caught up in their own hubris and deny Me and set themselves up to be God will in the end find that when time has run out, as it eventually does for all creatures, they will suffer the most terrible punishments in the bottomless pit of hell eternally. There the fire never goes out and the torments never cease. But for the poor of the Lord, His little ones, those who sought shelter under His wings and remained nestled in His shadow will be led with joy by all the angels and saints to the place prepared for them in Heaven and there they will enjoy eternal bliss as they behold God face to face never to be parted from Him.

ISAIAH 45:3-4 (2024)

ISAIAH 45:3-4

I will give you treasures hidden in darkness
and riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am Yahweh,
the God of Israel who calls you by your name.
For the sake of Jacob my servant,
of Israel my chosen one,
I have called you by your name
and given you your mission
although you do not know me.

---- mine,

My promises and My love are for all - no one is excluded from My Father's House. It is for the glory of God that all creation came into existence by the Power of God's Word and His Breath. Every living creature glorifies the Creator and more so must you. I desire that all people in every land and of every race and language are to know Me and be called by My Name so all will be saved. This mission I entrust to you. You are to make Me known and loved. Testify by the witness of your life in great things and small all that God has done and how He has saved and redeemed not just you but the world. Seek Me and you will find inexhaustible treasures of My graces not in the chaos and disarray of the world but in quiet. Withdraw from the garish lights that seek to distract you and lure you from Me and you will meet Me in the darkness of faith. Withdraw into the secret sanctuary of your heart and there I will teach you, and I will love you, and I will minister to you and you in turn will love with the love that I have loved you. 

BARUCH 5:6 (2024)

 BARUCH 5:6

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,

Your children left you for a faraway land across mountains and oceans and the great expanse between you and them is not just physical in time and space but also spiritual. The great divide seems unbridgeable and insurmountable but remember, with Me nothing is impossible. Although they have wandered far from their Father's House they will return like the Prodigal Son to the ever-loving and ever-outstretched arms of the Father, He will draw them into His everlasting love and embrace. They will return ---- my own, this I assure you. Let My peace fill your soul and let your spirit be filled with gladness and joy for I will wipe away the tears from every eye and by the power of My Word I will reconcile them to God. I came not to condemn but to forgive and reconcile and this I will do. I the Lord have spoken and all that I have said will be accomplished - I AM God and all things are possible for those who place all their faith, hope, and trust in Me. Be not afraid! Do not be dismayed. As I have said so it will be.

PSALM 30:5 (2024)

PSALM 30:5

For his anger is but for a moment;
his favour is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

---- mine,

I drive away all the phantoms that haunt you when you walk in the dark valley of sin, and you give in to your blackest fears. You feel the heat of My anger when you refuse to trust Me, refuse to have faith in My Word, refuse to do anything that would honor the God of Love who created you in love for a glorious destiny. But I also know that you are weak, frail, easily tempted, and easily distracted. You readily give in to your feelings instead of refusing to succumb to the wiles of the Enemy. I understand that you often do exercise discipline when you ought and lean on Me for strength which is always readily available to you. You sin often in little ways and these faults and failings prevent you from becoming the child of God that you are created to be. But do not lose hope, grace is always available to those who ask for it. Your time of weeping is over it is time to put on the mantle of joy and gladness and to exult in the love and faithfulness of the Bridegroom of your soul. Take off your garments of mourning and put on the festal garments of the bride and come to Me and remain in Me now and always.

BARUCH 5:1-9 (2024)

BARUCH 5:1-9

Take off the garment of your sorrow and affliction, O Jerusalem, and put on for ever the beauty of the glory from God. Put on the robe of the righteousness that comes from God; put on your head the diadem of the glory of the Everlasting; for God will show your splendour everywhere under heaven. For God will give you evermore the name, ‘Righteous Peace, Godly Glory’. 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.   For God has ordered that every high mountain and the everlasting hills be made low and the valleys filled up, to make level ground, so that Israel may walk safely in the glory of God. The woods and every fragrant tree have shaded Israel at God’s command. For God will lead Israel with joy, in the light of his glory, with the mercy and righteousness that come from him.

This is the day that I wish you to mark, to take note of and never to forget – this is the day when you will know that I AM God and that I keep My promises. Today marks the day when you will remove from your heart and your spirit the mantle of sorrow, worry, anxiety, fear, and grief that has been your garment for so long and you will rejoice for finally you understand that I AM God and My Word is true.     Set aside today and for ever your anxiety about your children for they were Mine before they were ever yours. You did the best you could and that is all I ask. Continue as you are doing to pray for them, fast for them, and bring them ever before Me in prayer. They will all return to My Father’s House. I Myself will lead them home, I will carry them. They will be seated in the places prepared from them and will not be taken from them. BE NOT AFRAID.   This is the will of My Father that through all the highways and byways through which they will traverse during the course of their earthly existence I will walk with them. I will be beside them. I will surround them with My protection. Angels will accompany them and the glory of God will be shown to them for I AM A GOD OF MERCY.

PSALM 12:6 (2024)

PSALM 12:6

The promises of the Lord 

are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground
purified seven times.

---- mine,

Every day in so many ways I give you signs and assurances of My unwavering love for you. In all your waking hours and when you lie quietly on your bed I comfort you and I give you My Word that all will be well with you and with those you pray for continually. My Word and My Promises are true and all I have assured you will be realized in My time, in My way, and in accord with My will. Trust in Me and in My Word and you will find rest and calm for your soul. Be still and know that I AM God and I AM trustworthy. Have faith and the gentle wind of the Spirit will help you sail safely through all your anxieties and fears to safe harbor where you will dwell in peace and joy. 

MATTHEW 17:7 (2024)

MATTHEW 17:7

But Jesus came and touched them, saying, ‘Get up and do not be afraid.’

---- mine,

Never forget, not even for an instant, that you belong to Me. You are Mine. I purchased you with My Blood. I ransomed you. I paid the price for your salvation and through My death, you have received life in abundance. I have given you joy in place of sorrow, courage in the place of fear, hope amid despair, and eternal life in exchange for eternal death. Take heart. Look at My hands and my feet, see the wound in My Side it is the entrance to My Sacred Heart. I invite you to enter and repose in it. Do not be afraid My love surrounds you, My power is in you, My Holy Spirit abides in you, and God is with you and walks with you. Be not afraid! Do not ever be afraid for you have nothing to fear. 

PSALM 46:10-11 (2024)

PSALM 46:10-11

‘Be still, and know that I am God! 

I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.’
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

---- mine,

I AM God and I love you with a love that is beyond your comprehension Unworthy though you are of My love I still love you infinitely. You have not yet understood what it means to be so loved by the all-holy, all-powerful God who pours Himself out for love of you. You are caught up with the weight of the cross and you permit it to oppress you and rob you of your faith, hope, and trust in Me. I look at you and see how you are struggling to accept the will of My Father and to patiently endure your present trial. All you need to do is trust Me, take refuge in Me, and be still until the storm passes. Yet you find it impossible because you are permitting your focus to rest on the storm and not on Me. Pray, hope, and ask for the grace not to worry. Worry will only draw you deeper into turmoil. Come to Me and rest in Me until the storm dies down and all is calm once more.

JOHN 10:2-4 (2024)

JOHN 10:2-4

The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

---- mine,

I AM the gate, I AM the Shepherd and My Father is the Gatekeeper who opens the gate so His children, those called by My Name may enter. You belong to My Fold. You know My Voice. You recognize it even through the din and noise of all the discordant voices in the world that beguile you and try to steal you from Me. But you are Mine. You are sealed in My Blood. You are sealed in My Spirit. I have paid the price of your ransom and I have set you free from slavery to sin. Those whom the Son sets free are truly free. I have freed you so you can choose to walk in the Way of righteousness which leads to the Gate of Heaven and the House of God. Follow Me! Walk close behind Me so you will always hear the sound of My Voice leading, encouraging, guiding, and loving you until you are safe in the arms of My Father who has called you out of the darkness of sin, decay, and death into His own marvelous light.

PSALM 70:5, PSALM 72:12-14 (2024)

PSALM 70:5 But I am poor and needy;    hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer;    O Lord, do not delay!

PSALM 72:12-14 For he delivers the needy when they call,    the poor and those who have no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy,    and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life;    and precious is their blood in his sight.

---- mine,

Over and over again and as often as you need Me to say it, I will do so, and I will assure you and reassure you of My love and My faithfulness. Do not be afraid ---- my own, even when your courage fails My love never will. I AM God and there is no other. I will never forsake the work of My hands. I know you are weak, I know that your tears are not for you but for those you love. You know you are helpless and can do nothing to help them but I AM not helpless. Continue to plead their cause and as I have said before, I say again, in the end, I will grant victory, I will pardon, I will restore, I will heal, I will make whole in every way that healing, wholeness, and restoration are needed. Be still and know that I AM God and My Word once uttered will most perfectly and surely accomplish all that I have said it will do. 

MATTHEW 18:12-14 (2024)

MATTHEW 18:12-14

What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost. 

---- mine,

Why do you agonize day after day? Where is your faith? Do you not know Me yet? Have you forgotten how often in the past I have performed miracles in your life? Day after day I assure you that I have heard all your prayers and in My time, in My way, and according to My will I will answer. You just need to be still and know that I AM God and that nothing is impossible for Me. When the storm is at its peak, when the waves keep rising higher and higher when the winds grow stronger, enter into My rest, cling to Me, and trust that I AM with you and I AM in control. Understand well that at a time of My choosing, I will say to the storm, 'Hush, be still' and all will be calm, all will be well. Peace will reign at a time of my choosing and not a moment before and you will know that I AM GOD. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

JOHN 15:16 (2024)

JOHN 15:16

You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 

---- mine,

Do not come to Me for what I can give you, come to Me for My Sake because you love Me. Love Me for who I AM - the Son of the Living God. Come to Me with praise and thanksgiving. Come to worship and adore Me. I know what you need. Your heavenly Father knows what you need. Set aside for a while the desires of your heart and allow your soul to be filled with the knowledge of the One who created you in love and who created you in love for love. Love seeks to pour itself as an oblation for the Beloved, Seek first the Kingdom of God ---- my own, Seek first the Kingdom of God and put every other desire out of your heart and mind. Give God the glory due to His Name Ask nothing more than to love without self-seeking If you love Me take up your cross daily and follow Me forgetful of self. This is love not clamoring constantly for what you want me to do for you but just to love Me without selfish motives. Look at the birds in the air and the lilies of the field and learn from them.

ESTHER 7:2 (2024)

ESTHER 7:2

On the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, ‘What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.’

---- mine,

Wine represents My Precious Blood. In this month of July, I desire you to contemplate the Blood that streamed from My Body from the wounds caused by the scourging, the Blood that flowed like sweat in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Blood that streamed from My head when the crown of thorns was beaten and pressed on it. The Blood that flowed from My knees each time I fell on the stony ground, the Blood that flowed from My shoulder where the rough-hewn, heavy Cross lay heavily grazed against it causing a most painful, gaping, bleeding wound. The Blood that flowed from my Mouth and Nose from the blows rained on it, from the Blood that flowed from My hands and my feet when the nails were hammered into them. And finally, the Blood that flowed from My side when it was pierced with a lance and ran through My heart causing the last of the Blood and Water to stream out of My opened side. This is the Wine that is poured out for you to wash you clean to redeem you to make you a new creation and not just you, ---- my own, but everyone for whom you pray for all your waking hours and whom you entrust to Me, My Mother, and all the holy angels and saints when you sleep. I hear your requests -they are always before Me. I have answered you because all the things that are breaking your heart break Mine as well. I will give all you ask even to the half of My Kingdom. This is what My Father desires and what I desire as well. Be of good cheer ---- my own, for My Blood has conquered the world and it has purchased for you and your loved ones all you ask for in prayer.

PSALM 17:8-9 (2024)

PSALM 17:8-9

Guard me as the apple of the eye; 

hide me in the shadow of your wings,
from the wicked who despoil me,
my deadly enemies who surround me.

---- mine,

I will always guard you as the apple of the eye and hide you in the shadow of My wings. I will protect you from evil, I will hide you in My Sacred Heart, I will cover you with My Precious Blood. No harm will come either to you or those you pray for, imploring My grace, blessings, and powerful protection over them. Fear nothing, ---- my own, fear nothing except the loss of your soul. I have purchased you, I have redeemed you, I have sealed you in My Spirit, I have washed away all your iniquities and cleansed you from all your sins. 

Remain in My love. Cling to Me. Abide in Me and allow My Word to take root in you so you may grow and bear abundant good fruit that will last. Fear nothing, those who are called by My Name have nothing to fear.
