WHOM DO YOU FOLLOW? ME IN SPIRIT & TRUTH or YOURSELF & YOUR OWN WILL? Excerpt of The Lord’s Sermon 28 ‘Parable of the great Supper’ from March 27, 1872 (Revealed through Gottfried Mayerhofer) The Lord says… I intend to prepare a great supper for mankind soon. I am inviting, and have already for a long time been inviting, all mankind to this evening meal at which, after their work has been done, they can be satisfied with their accomplishments and rejoice at their fulfilled life and, after a spiritual rest, confidently face the newly beginning morning of a never-ending day. But as the landlord in the parable fared, so do I. Too occupied with their worldly business, most people excuse themselves and reject or avoid My table, where My spiritual celestial bread of love, meekness, gentleness and implicit trust shall be served. And why? Because during their whole life they have indulged in exactly the opposite. Thus I, too, will have to send My servants who have remained faithful to Me, into the world to seek guests for My. table among the poor, the crippled and lame who, during the course of their life, had plenty of opportunity to practise towards their brothers, if not love, at least tolerance and kindness. Thanks to the fact that they possessed few or none of the good things of this world, they have become more tolerant and amenable and enjoy the foods on My table, since with their sufferings in body and soul this evening meal at the end of a difficult life means at least the end to all their sufferings and privations. “Lame” and “crippled” must also be applied to the spiritual life of the soul, since there are by far more spiritual cripples than physical. They too will be helped, for these souls – neglected, but not depraved – are more likely to accept the pure, true, spiritual fare than those, who in their self- conceit imagine themselves enlightened and believe they do not need instruction. They will fare at My supper as did the Jews whom I once told, when they did not want to accept My Word, that it would be taken from them and given to the Gentiles. Thus the Great Supper prior to My advent will separate the worthy from the unworthy. For some the road to Me will be considerably shortened whilst others will be rejected for a long time and left to themselves until their morning will dawn. And only after they will have worked diligently all through the day, after they will have struggled and suffered, after long lapses of time, – only then will a supper be possible for them, too. *** Excerpt of Timothy’s Message, moved by the Spirit of God ‘God is Spirit & Love’ from November 21, 2005 (Trumpet Call of God) Does our life and our ways reflect the Truth, we say is in our heart? Though that, which we have accepted, is spiritual, it must be shown to others in an earthly way, because they can not yet understand that which is spiritually discerned. Let us show those we love, that God is at work in our life, by making our life a shining example, bright and pure… This will open the hearts of those you love in time. All things, that are not acceptable before God, must be overcome in your life. This is our reasonable duty as servants of God, because He first overcame our sins and our death, by the death and resurrection of His Only Begotten Son. This is how you will know if The Spirit resides in you… All those, fully converted in their hearts, will come to see the world as a foreigner in a strange land. This is the beginning sign of the division in yourself, and is also the beginning of your separation from the world… Ending in your complete separation from this world, being united with The Messiah in Heaven. So let us all be doers of The Word, and not just hearers. Those, who only hear The Word and abide, assuredly, they have their reward, for they had abided in The Messiah. But even they, who abide in Messiah, are doers, because one can not abide in the Truth if one’s life is not clean and purified because of Him who has cleansed us. As the five virgins, in Matthew 25, were left standing outside, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’, The Lord said He did not know them, because their mere proclamation of faith was not enough… Faith without works is dead… And likewise, works done without faith are also dead. Know this… We are all servants, serving either God or the devil. We can not serve two masters. Even when people deceive themselves into thinking they serve neither, by default they serve the devil. For not to serve and obey God is sin. And the devil is the very father of sin, being the first to disobey and turn from Him who had created him. *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy… ‘Walk in the Lord in Love, Faith & Obedience’ from January 8, 2006 (Trumpet Call of God) The Lord says… Once you have come to stand by the grace I have given you, then will you also learn to walk in Me, even as I walked… Until the time comes when we shall run and leap together, in fields you have not yet known, nor can you imagine. So then, seek always to walk in My ways, stand steadfast. For the path’s end is in sight, no more time to tarry… Beloved, be My examples! Reveal that you have received of My life, that I live in you, and let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven! Show them The Way by your faith and obedience, that they too may come to walk beside you, even upon the Highway of Holiness in due time. For I tell you the truth, to walk where The Son of God Most High walks, you must become like Me, crucifying your lives of old, separating yourselves from the bitter enmity which is of this world and men. For as I had spoken it to My disciples of old, so also do I now speak to you: If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me; for whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Therefore those who strive to hold onto their lives, in this world, will lose their lives, having already become dead man’s bones in a wasteland of many sorrows, leading and following others into condemnation. Beloved children, what are these things of the world compared with your life? What is their worth? What of all these works of man, are they not passing away? Again I ask you, what is their value? For I tell you the truth, whoever loves anything in all creation, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. For I am The Only Way, The Only Truth and The Only Life; there is nothing apart from Me, for I am He by whom all things consist. Therefore, come and follow Me!… *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy… ‘Blessed are Those who overcome for My Sake’ from November 9, 2006 (Trumpet Call of God) The Lord says… Can one, who does that which is an abomination in the eyes of God, serve Me? He may not. For no one who actively engages in or passively practices homosexuality shall inherit the Kingdom of God; behold, even all who voice their agreement shall be left outside the gate, says The Lord. Yet if one comes to Me and asks of Me forgiveness, even a continual washing in My own blood, he shall surely have it; even if he comes to Me seven times, or seventy times seven times, he shall be forgiven. For I forgive all those who come to Me in sincerity and in truth, and draw near to those of a contrite heart, delivering those of a humble spirit. Beloved, by this then shall our love be made perfect… You shall abstain from that which is not lawful, and make every effort to depart from that which is an abomination in the eyes of God… You must strive to be completely separate from that life, presenting your body as a living sacrifice to The Lord… Blameless. For that which is unnatural is universally known, though the men and women of this world deny it. And that which is against God shall be purged by fire; even all that offends shall be destroyed and come to a swift end. Therefore, My son, take up your cross and follow Me as I am, and not as you or the churches of men would have Me be. Yet remember this… Whoever loves their mother, father, sister, brother, child or close friend, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. Thus he who does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me, as it is written. For he who holds onto his life in this world will lose it, yet he who gives up his life for My sake will find it. So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there are none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather, I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself. For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully. My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims. Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather, let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace. And by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law, for Love has saved you… Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways, that you may be My son and I your Father. For I correct and discipline all those I love, lest the devil gain advantage over them. Therefore, again I say to you, come to Me, for I am your Healer. Serve Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. Yet turn away unto strange flesh and I shall also turn away from you, leaving you in the midst of the earth, until you are truly ready to give up your life for My sake… My son, come out from among them, and I shall give you a cool drink of water, for you are yet thirsty. Hear My words and understand, for My words are life for those who walk in them; and if you walk in them, then you are really My disciple. *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy… ‘Refinement and the Day of the Lord’ from December 11, 2006 (Trumpet Call of God) Thus says the Lord… And so it will come to pass… Those who would be first shall be last, and those who were accounted as last shall be first. For every man, who thinks himself righteous, shall be left. For there are none righteous, no not one, not one person or church; all is vanity and pride, vexation of spirit. For I have already told you that I require of you humility, a complete forsaking of your wills, walking in faith, abiding wholly in the doctrine of The Messiah. Yet all you men in the churches abide in your own doctrine, walking always in religion, and not in faith. For not one of you obeys God in truth!… I tell you, all religions shall fail! Not one shall persist! For The Salvation of God is nowhere to be found in the religions of men; nor shall one find Me in any denomination or church! Thus all your attempts to hold onto your self-righteousness are in vain! For every bitter and perverse doctrine of men shall be burned up in the Day! My children, Messiah’s church dwells within Him, and He dwells in the hearts of men. This is where My Son has rebuilt the temple which has fallen down. Yet you seek outwardly in the world for fulfillment, mixing the things of the world with the things of God, polluting pure worship with the abominations of the pagan and the heathen; altogether desecrating My name and My glory, as you continue to segregate My Word in an effort to maintain your own way. Therefore, be separate! Says The Lord of Hosts, your Redeemer. Come out from among them, and follow Me! My servants, bring nothing with you, for I abide not in any church made with human hands. Why do you not understand My speech?! For I tell you the truth: Those who love anyone or anything in this world, more than Me, are not worthy of Me; and to be a friend of this world is enmity with God, as it is written… Stop stifling The Spirit! Know you not… that to celebrate and worship Me, in any way contrary to the Scriptures, is a desecration of My name?! And to mix anything I have given you, with the things of satan, is an abomination?! My children, come out of her! The harlot has deceived you! And you willingly commit adultery with her, reveling in all her fornications… Therefore, you are given up to judgment, refinement in the Day of The Lord! For I shall indeed correct and discipline you! Behold, with a strong rebuke and an outstretched arm I shall humble you, and tear down all your whitewashed walls of abomination! *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy ‘Who is first?’ from March 24, 2008 (Trumpet Call of God) Thus says the Lord… My sons, who is first? You say that I am, yet you seek to hold onto that which is passing away, to maintain a peace which has already departed – not realizing that this only serves to expose the truth, that you have not placed your wives or fear of strife above Me, but yourselves! Therefore gird up your loins like men, and serve Me in sincerity and in truth, or serve Me not. For it is far better to do nothing, than to deny Me by concealed works and dark speeches. Nor shall you attempt to justify yourselves by false and erred parables, which you did not receive of Me. For you deal not with children, nor with those who feign ignorance, but with those of your own household, of which you were to be the head. Thus you are to blame, My sons. For by your actions you have added to their quandary, when instead you should have quickly set all these crooked paths straight!… Or have you forgotten these Scriptures: “Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven. Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. For he who loves father or mother, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy… ‘The Harvest is separated’ from August 1, 2011 (Trumpet Call of God) The Lord says… I know My own! And in My own I am known. And I will not marry one who has betrothed themselves to another. For I am holy! And My Bride, holy. My blood runs through her veins, My image is shown upon her face, and the light of My coming is reflected in her eyes. For I have captured her gaze, and she will by no means look away or seek after another. Thus are some plucked from this world already… And these shall also be taken, They shall surely be gone from this place… For their hearts have departed from this world, And I have plucked them from the midst of their brethren. Beloved! I am gathering you now!… I have but to call out your name, And we together shall pass through the gate. Have you understood My words? Have I not, in this last hour, spoken to you plainly, using few figures of speech? Have I not treated you as My own, even as the twelve?… My love does not change. And though I reveal My displeasure and My anger is aroused, My love does not change. I do not conceal the thoughts of My heart toward you, I speak them openly… Why then do each of you withhold? It is time to depart from this world, yet who among you has departed already?… My sons, it is time!… And though your thoughts betray you, and your actions bring you pain, it is time. Though your friends and loved ones hate you, and bring against you all manner of false and hateful slander, it is time. Though you are shunned and looked upon as evil, it is time. For their belief is not at all required, neither is their approval needful. For I am holy… And faithfulness is written in My vesture… Says The Lord. *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Timothy… ‘The Double-minded shall not enter in’ from March 31, 2013 (Trumpet Call of God) Thus says The Lord to His servant… Timothy, harbor no ill will toward your mother, nor hold resentment in your heart, but forgive her. Nevertheless, because she does not keep My Commandments and disregards My every decree, making no allowances for My holy days, to remember them and keep them holy, always compromising for the sake of her children, doing those things which I said she shall not do… This is what The Lord your God says… Those who know a prophet of God must also give heed to the words he speaks; and those who have received My words by the hand of My prophet are bound by them. For those who love Me seek always to walk in My ways; and those who know Me recognize the Word given to those I send, and obey it. Yet with your mother it is not so. For with her mouth she testifies of her love for Me, yet her actions speak to the contrary, revealing a heart which remains far from Me, a heart married to those of this world, a child who is double-minded in all her ways. Thus she shall not enter the house of My prophet; nor shall any who stand against Me draw near. And this shall be for a sign, and for a testimony against them, until the time be changed. For those who walk alongside the rebellious, and cast their lot with the insolent, stand with them; and those who keep the company of the wicked, and are at ease among those who slander My servants and blaspheme My name, have shown themselves to be in agreement. Therefore, again I say, she shall not enter in, says The Lord. *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare ‘Buy of Me fire-tried Gold’ from May 6, 2015 (Love Letters from Jesus) Jesus says… “There is so much for people to do, but they have encased themselves in their comfort zones. They live where they feel drawn to live, they choose everything to their liking – and this is why so many are lost and lonely walking down a road with no real destination other than the status quo. Living for the pleasures of the flesh. “The enemy uses the flesh to encase a soul in their likes and dislikes: where to live, what work to do, how to dress, how to eat, how to be secure. But I say: you must live like the sparrows! To be free, to live for the Spirit and follow My will for your life. You have only to look around you and see the frustration and unhappiness of those who live to the comfort of their bodies. Something is dead inside, the spark of life, gone – buried under layer after layer after layer of likes and dislikes according to the flesh. “Life is an adventure, full of new experiences when one lives for Me.” “This is what I need of My vessels unto honor… flexibility and a willingness to go where I lead when I lead. There is so much richness in a life lived in the Spirit and so much sediment in a life lived for the flesh.” “My Children, I have such wonderful things for you to do, but your obstinacy in choosing your location ties My hands. There are connections waiting to be made, a broadening of your horizons, and deepening of your understanding, if only you would come under the yoke of obedience.” “There is no reason why a person has to be tied to a house, a piece of land, a city, a country. The world is an exciting place with many opportunities for those who are willing to live for the Spirit alone and go where I send them.” “But will you trust Me? Will you acknowledge that I am God and there is none other? That My plans are far superior to your plans? That nothing is impossible for Me? That you can trust Me with your life? “You must come to terms with these issues if you are to live the fullness of the life I have called you to.” “You see, when you come to serve Me, your life is no longer your own. Most people, however, try to run their new life in Me on two tracks…what they want… and what I want within the context of what they want. Rather than totally abandoning their will and their way to Me, they compromise and then expect to be happy and fulfilled. But it will never happen until they totally abandon their agenda.” “Some are still catering to their earthly parent’s expectations. Some have their eyes on a career goal and prosperity, and within that context they choose what they think is My will. But they are so far from the truth that they would be shocked if I revealed it to them. Yet I know the course they are holding onto for dear life will lead them into mediocrity and unhappiness. I can only wait until they discover that’s not what they wanted after all. And sadly by then, more than half of their life is spent and sickness has found its way into their bodies.” “I am just saying this for your own good Children. Choose Me and My Will with uncompromising faith and clarity. Seek Me and wait on Me. Lay down your agendas, let your earthly parents lead their own lives, but you – follow Me.” “Many are confused about what it means to honor and obey your mother and father. It does not mean let them take My place in your life and let them dictate what your life should be. Honor them in their old age, help as you can, celebrate their birthdays with them, treat them with respect and reverence in all your dealings. But never give them the helm – this is meant for Me and Me alone.” Is it not written, Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37 *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare ‘You do not receive because you do not believe’ from May 13, 2015 (Love Letters from Jesus) Jesus says… “If you lack faith, ask for it. I will surely increase your faith as you take baby steps to trust Me. And that is the bedrock issue here, trust. And proceeding from trust is faith and who do you suppose is constantly shipwrecking your trust in Me by lying against My character? Yes, the Father of Lies, he is about his business of deceiving people – especially about My character.” “It is a slap in My face, to believe that I will not come through, I will not be faithful. It is a slander against Me and I wait for My people to defend Me. But instead they turn the other way and give up, they believe the lie! This intimacy that you seek is highly threatening to satan, for a deaf and dumb Christian is not much of a problem – they can’t hear Me so they won’t be taking any ground from him. But a Christian who listens to God and obeys? He is a problem, he will take ground from him.” “That is why your faith is under attack as you pursue Me, and you are considered a high-priority threat to the kingdom of darkness, right there alongside prayer. The problem is, your prayers are useless without faith, and faith comes by hearing, and I don’t mean just noise in the background. I mean hearing with your heart, it builds your faith, as you eat and digest My Word and it becomes a part of you.” “So the enemy uses the hot buttons on you: rejection, ridicule, delusion and insanity. Those are all hateful things to be called, so you avoid those tags at any cost. But how can you believe when you receive your praise from man? Do you not see that as long as you depend on others for your validation, you will be lame and weak in hearing from Me?” “I am lacing this message with Scripture, which you can look up in 1. John Chapter 2, because some of you are saying… ‘the messages are not Scriptural’ and for that reason doubting the veracity of this vessel. To you I say, ‘Stop your unbelief for it is robbing you of the treasure of My presence.’ And the enemy knows full well that once you have cultivated My Presence you will not be fooled and misled as those who are mindlessly following all they hear in the pulpit.” “So set yourselves apart from those who would shame and condemn you for seeking the higher gifts. Courage is needed along with faith, to overcome the voices of the enemy that surround you. Even those closest to you are easily persuaded against your pursuit of Me. Remember, I have told you: anyone who loves, mother, father, wife or children more than he loves Me is not worthy of Me. This is no time to be cowardly in the pursuit of holiness! This is the time spoken of by the prophets when ‘the strength of kings must uphold you and lead you to the truth, standing against all opposition.’ You will not succeed without detaching yourself from those you love and respect. Your first duty and commitment is to Me and those the enemy uses against you are to be loved but not bowed down to.” “I am calling you to set Me apart from all your other relationships and compromise no more to any man, for this will be your downfall. This is the time of great testing that is coming upon all who dwell on the Earth and to give in now is certain to lead down the road of compromise that ends with the mark of eternal damnation.” “Stand strong in what you know in your heart to be true. Expect – without allowing insinuations of doubt to creep in – expect Me to move upon your efforts and visit you, for truly I am a God who rewards those who diligently search for Me. Open your eyes, open your ears, retune your mind and your hearts, pay attention! I speak to you many times during the day but you are like men who have fallen asleep at the gates – you do not recognize the King when He comes to you.” “I am blessing you with a new anointing, to hear Me. Look for My messages to you in everything around you: the wind in the trees, the sun on your path, the bumper sticker in the traffic jam, the numbers on your clocks, the call of the dove, the heart shape when you cut a tomato, or spill on the counter. Oh, I speak to you in so many ways! Open your ears and your eyes now to hear and see Me. As you practice this, I will become clearer and louder in My messages to you. The signs of My Love are all around you. Go now and begin to acknowledge them.” *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare ‘Rapture Drills are purifying My Bride’ from May 16, 2015 (Love Letters from Jesus) (Clare) Lord I don’t really understand, altogether, must we truly be without spot, wrinkle or blemish as your Word says? To the letter? Jesus says… “Clare, you have said it yourself so many times – how is it that now it escapes you? You do not have to be perfect, but the will and intention to be perfect with at least some fruit really does need to be in place. Consistent effort, consistent amendment, and remember I am ‘doing the doing’ in the soul, it is merely their effort and cooperation I am calling for.” “Far too many are still sliding around and compromising. Compromise must be done away with. I need pure, devoted, intention and the fruit that produces. This is costly, but by paying the cost I see that she is sincere and I will reward that.” “There are those who are living together and have no intention of getting married. This is sin. There are those who are heavily indebted to the world and continue to live an indebted lifestyle to impress their peers.” “There are those who know they are using worldly means to prosper their church, they feel it in their conscience but continue to do it anyway, because they want a bigger and more prosperous congregation and lifestyle.” “There are those I have called to turn their backs on the world and come on board with My agendas and still, they cleave to living a life of subservience to a roof over their heads and food in their bellies as well as driving nice cars and having the latest cell phones. Yet I needed them and called them to leave all that and walk the dusty paths of evangelism among the poor.” “There are those in bondage to their culture -they feel the call to walk away but they seek the comfort and approval of their peers and family more than in My approval. Some of them I have educated with a mission in mind, but due to the pressure of family they refuse to go.” “Anyone who loves the world and all it has to offer, more than they love Me, is not worthy of Me. They are in bondage, and I cannot take them until they renounce themselves and the world, once and for all. You know this Clare, you have been in this place.” “And there are others who are in the right place, who are holding down jobs and raising families and have not chosen to compromise and have repeatedly been passed over at their jobs because they weren’t ‘flexible’ enough in their morals to satisfy questionable business practices their boss imposed on them. There are housewives who are faithful to their husbands, abhor things like soap operas, and are raising their children to be holy. I will take them. Yet there are others who feed on this filth, live to spend money in the malls and impress their peers and allow their children to do as they please because they don’t want strife in their families. I cannot take them in the Rapture.” “These are all signs that they love the world more than they love Me. So, I cannot take them. Do you get the picture?” *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare Please your Parents or please Me from November 2, 2015 (Love Letters from Jesus) Jesus says… “Abandoning all things for My sake is one of the greatest sacrifices a soul can make, in a way. It is the acid test of their love for Me. When you work for the world, money and nice things it can buy, you are in a bondage to the things of this world. You are not free to serve Me and go where I please.” “You have a wife and children, you say. Did you marry the woman or man of My choice? In that case, they will give up the comforts of the world for Me as well. Many, many are the souls who live to breathe from moment to moment. They aren’t truly living; they are surviving. Something deep calls to them, but that road is blocked by debts and lifestyle. In the end they grow old and fizzle out, knowing profoundly that their lives were a waste and not what they could have been for Me.” “I am speaking to you, now, young people. Do not settle for second best, do not settle for a mate that is NOT My choice. I promise you, you will regret it for the rest of your life. If you love Me and know that nothing in this world can satisfy you, do not choose a worldly career.” “I am calling many of you, but you have given your lives to your parents, not Me. They have expectations and you’ve buried the dreams in your heart to please them. They are supporting you because you are doing what they want you to do with your life. Is it worth it My chosen ones??? Look at your life 20 years from now…(Never mind the Rapture, this is an exercise for the present moment only.) If you follow the direction you are in, what will your life look like in 20 years?” “Now I ask you to consider, is that really what you want for your life?” “Necessity sometimes comes to bear on your choices…please the parents…be on the dole. Choose to follow Me…be labeled a lunatic…be poor, be an outcast. You say you love Me, but do your choices today reflect that? Or your love for the world and the approval of your parents.” “Some day, I will call them to an accounting for being a hindrance. Yet, that weeds out those who will go all the way with Me and those who will only go half way.” “Am I being harsh here? Not really. Did I go half way? Did I stop short of the Cross and say ‘thus far and no further?’ Is it not written that ‘He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me….’” Matthew 10:37 “Yes, there is a great deal to lose, count the cost. Once you set out on this road, you will not want to return. You will be labeled a deserter, irresponsible, lazy, good for nothing. And in a way it is true. You are good for nothing as far as the world is concerned. Your goals and the world’s goals no longer have anything in common.” *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare Are you called? from August 22, 2016 (Love Letters from Jesus) Jesus began… “I must tell you, you will die to your flesh if you follow Me. There will be nights like tonight, when Clare just wanted to go to bed, because Ezekiel had been in intercessory suffering all day and she wore herself out with concern and prayer. But I needed her and I called her to forgo sleep and listen for My message to you. And I have given her the grace to be here and obey.” “There are times when you would rather write someone off, but I will ask you to go the further mile to restore peace, even though you are not in the wrong. There are times when I will ask you to do something that will bring down the censorship and calumny of other people. You will lose face with them and lose friends and relatives. You will have to choose between them and Me.” “There will be times of reproof and correction, even humiliation. Will you keep going for Me when you’ve been embarrassed by My word? Will you continue to follow Me if your spouse threatens to leave you?” “Many give Me the dregs of their lives, the left-overs. Yes, I’ll take that. I’ll take whatever you want to give Me, but you will wish you had made that decision when you were younger.” “Some of you are young and vigorous and looking forward to a well-paying career after university studies. I will warn you now, if you survive in that climate, you may come out without any faith at all.” “Some of you may choose a Bible school and study to be a pastor, having an eye on a well-paying job and insurance, etc. You are still thinking like the world.” “If you want to follow Me, you will have to follow your heart. None of My apostles were educated – except the one who betrayed Me. That should tell you something. Everything in the Gospels is an allegory for your present day. The men who most succeeded with Me were simple men of heart and on fire. They fell in love with Me and wanted only what I had to give them.” “Peter left a lucrative fishing business with employees, servants, a wife and children. Matthew was well on his way in a lucrative government job, working his way up the ladder to a higher position. Later on, Luke was a physician with a thriving practice, a substantial income and the promise of a comfortable life with social status and favor.” “All these men had worked hard to get themselves into a secure position with the promise for a good life. All of them recognized the Pearl of Great Price…turned their backs on the world and followed Me.” “And what about you? Who do you say I am? What does My invitation mean to you? Have your parents set you up for a college education and you dare not disappoint them? Do you go to college class after college class, coming away feeling like you’re wasting your time and moving in the wrong direction? Well, you probably are, if you feel that way.” “So, what must you do to follow Me? Like the rich young ruler…go sell all you have, give it to the poor, then come and follow Me. Just like in the beginning. And where do you go? Wherever My Spirit is moving, wherever miracles are being done in My name, wherever people are risking their lives to bring the Gospel. Wherever your heart leads you. Because I dwell in your heart, and I advise you from your heart. I put My desires for you, which are truly your desires, in your heart.” “Yes, you can choose Bible College…but I’ll ask you this. What do you want to learn? All about the Bible and how to run a church? Or My ways? You will not learn of My ways until you go out among the people and learn to identify with their sorrows and successes. You will only learn to love as I loved when you go out among them, living as they live, being there in all the diverse situations of life they encounter with Me, only, as their helper.” “You see? This invitation is a call to strip your lives of the world and plunge into the sea of hurting humanity, with only My voice to guide you.” “Above all else, follow your heart. Follow Love. Go with the anointing and learn – learn to work with others and learn how to be true to Me alone in the midst of contradictions.” “Yes, I will be with you. To the degree you sacrifice, to that degree will I be with you. I will never leave your side, and you will learn My ways, first hand. The only requirement is the desire to love Me and love your brother. You may not be there yet…but if that’s the passion of your heart, I’ve put it there and I will bring it to pass.” “Deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me.” *** Excerpt of the Lord’s Message to Clare ‘Obedience & Willingness’ from November 25, 2016 (Love Letters from Jesus) Jesus says…“You artfully dodged Me for years, Clare. Had you responded as Sherry has, there is no telling where you would be right now in My kingdom and ministry, and the happiness that would be yours. I am not chastising you, My precious love, I am merely stating the facts. But I never gave up on you, Clare. Aren’t you glad?” (Clare) Oh dear God, yes! I have never been happier or felt more fulfilled than I do right now. “Yes, and that is the fruit of obedience. I cannot take a soul down the road of their destiny, what I created them for, unless they turn over complete control to Me.” “So many rely on their social standing and are petrified of being stripped down to beggar status. But there is no one on this Earth or in Heaven that has more status before Me, than one who has become a beggar for Me.” “Yet the very thought of becoming a no-one from no-where, going no-where, is seriously threatening because their reality is the world and worldly security and status. What they are missing because of it is the most cherished state a human can aspire to, and that is to be My Beloved Spouse, one with Me, given up totally to Me.” “One who has this reality could care less how others look at them. They could care less if they missed a meal or were fed. They care not where they sleep. Their only care is not to lose Me. And because of that, I care for them and look out for all their needs supernaturally.” “But when one resorts to the comfort of their family, it’s over.” “When the conscience of a soul is corrupted by the world, they must constantly have a failsafe net beneath them, and so they continue to belong to the world while on the outside pretending to belong to Me. Their life is a confused mess, because they are trying to serve two masters, God and Mammon…or the world and money.” “So, I work with them as closely as they will permit. Coming through for them time after time. But there comes a point where I must let them off the hook, so to speak, and allow them to go their own way without hindrance. I grieve over this because I see what could have been and the souls they could have brought back into My kingdom before it was too late for them.” “So, they go back into the world, being led again by their own ideas. For many, it is too late. For others, I will try again and again, but each time their heart grows harder. Their lives are entirely taken up with their own personal drama which they create in abundance – and that’s what steers their life.” “Oh, how I wish I could have been at the helm, but they would not have it. I sent them the best of My counselors lest they sin by blaming Me, ‘But I didn’t know…’ Is a common cry which condemns them as I show the many people I sent to guide. ‘But how could I tell if they were right?’ is always the next objection. And then I play the tape for them: the time I visited them in the spirit and confirmed solidly that direction, over and over again. I show them how they did indeed ‘know’ and chose their own way, nonetheless.” “Do you see, Clare? I spare nothing bringing the rebellious into My service, but when they refuse to have Me, there is nothing more for Me to do but find another vessel who truly loves Me enough to lay down their lives for Me, and give that assignment to them.” “Concerning the present situation, there was a stronghold of legalism in that town I was sending them. There were young people crying out for understanding and older people injured by the many false ways and rules of men. The fresh perspective and anointing I had given that vessel would have been very fruitful. But he did not trust Me to care for his needs. Rather, he ran to the comfort of his family and returned to the world.” “Perhaps there will come another opportunity, perhaps not. But with each successive attempt, the heart hardens, grace is lost. One becomes more set and comfortable in their own ways. Yet not only is it My nature to be merciful, but also to never give up but to send more vessels, fasting and praying, counseling and guiding. But as I told you from the very beginning of this situation, this one’s heart does not belong to Me.” (Clare) But the talk is holy, Lord? “The mouth utters many things, but a man is proven by his fruits. And here there is nothing but disorder and confusion.” “My people, please do not sign up to be My vessel unless you are willing to be broken and ground into fine powder, then rehydrated by the living waters of My Spirit and reformed by My very own fingers.” “The making of a vessel unto honor is a messy business. The pot must be broken and every vestige of the old life must be given up and ground to a powder, if not given up in fact and in practice, at least given up by resolution and continued attempts in obedience.” “A potter must work the mass with his hands and slam the clay down on the slab to remove the hidden air bubbles – the Pride – which will cause the vessel to burst in the pressure and temperatures of the kiln. Unless that lump of clay is willing to be slammed down repeatedly, with great injury done to their pride, that clay is useless to Me. It will only explode under pressure, and pressure is what is necessary to bring that vessel to completion and into My service.” “So, I entreat you, if you are showing up and offering yourselves to serve Me, and are not prepared to sustain heavy losses. Losses of all you are, all you could be, all you have been in the world, if you are not willing to have the pride pounded out of you, please do not weary Me with a double mind. Rather stay in the world until you are fully sick to death of it and truly are willing to go through anything to serve Me.” “I will still love you, I will still hope for you, I will still be there for you, but we will not have a working relationship, nor the sweet fellowship I enjoy with My Bride. Nonetheless, I will love and provide for you. Nothing will change. I will still take you to Heaven. But your life will be lackluster, lukewarm and dull. There will be piercing remorse when you see others promoted and doing what you once dreamed of doing, you may even fall to envy and jealousy, which reflects a hidden desire in you that you were never willing to die to have.” “My people, many are called, few are chosen. And sadly, much to My dismay, even fewer respond.” *** I ask you now… “Have you not yet surrendered your Life to Me completely in sincerity and truth? If you love Me, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain… I LOVE YOU… Come and pray this Prayer with Me now, all you need to do is turn to My loving arms and say… ‘Yes, Lord. Today I give You my life, such as it is; today I surrender my soul to You. Forgive me for the wicked life I have led, forgive me for what I have done to others and help me forgive what they have done to me. Come into my heart, Jesus, take over this mess I call my life. I surrender it to you.’ Say this, My child, from the heart and I will embrace you and bring you into a glorious new future. Yes, I make this promise to you: give Me your life and I will give you My hope. The scales of blindness, the knives of bitterness still in your heart, I will remove. I will heal these wounds and set you on high above your enemies. You will conquer and overcome the devils of the past and their terror will terrify no more.” “Come, place your hand in Mine. Come, you are Mine now. Let us together walk out of this prison of the past and into the glorious light of a new day… Come.” |
