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.
