WALK ONCE AGAIN WITH ME IN PEACE

 2020-12-31                       WALK ONCE AGAIN WITH ME IN PEACE                               INRI

 

In these troubling times, you may not appreciate the inconvenience, the distancing, nor the lack of merriment that was once yours, you are enduring hardships and a time of confinement, yet I want you to know that I am allowing it all.

 

This may be a time of quiet reflection, a time to seek humility, for it will help you to see My Greatness, and for you to truly know your nothingness in comparison.

 

Ask for the help of My Holy and Blessed Mother, She will help you attain this virtue, which is the foundation of all other virtues.

 

What you are presently enduring is indeed the result of sin in the world, this chastisement is a wake-up call for all to realize where you are headed, for many are oblivious to sin in their own lives.

 

There is a great need to ask for the grace to trust in God, so many are thinking that they must take care of everything themselves, this has caused some to despair and to lose hope.

 

It is sometimes difficult for you to know what to do, I came to rescue the world, yet I am not accepted by a great many who are walking in darkness.

 

But I know that you have a certainty regarding My Love for each of you, even if you have chosen to walk a different path than the one I would have chosen for you, which would have been perhaps a more direct and more simple way.

 

There is no need for worry or anxiety, I am able to redirect your path so that it may go well with you, walking once again with Me in peace.

 

You may be questioning, why some people are called to suffer greatly at the hands of others in so many varied ways, but be consoled in the fact that these chosen souls follow Me in carrying My Cross.

 

Pray that they be able to endure with the right disposition, for their reward is great, and in relation to eternity in Heaven, the time of suffering will be short.

 

I am with you always, could you find it in your heart to thank Me, even now in your discomfort, for at times when you are most in pain, this is when I am closest to you.

 

You will not know when I will call you home, hang on to HOPE for this pleases Me, even when it looks bleak and foreboding, for I am trustworthy and My Love for you will never fail.

CALLED TO HOLINESS

 2020-12-24                                           CALLED TO HOLINESS                                       INRI

 

You are to be made ready now for the holiness of Heaven, so then, in the here and now do you dare waste any of these precious moments that have been allotted to you?

 

As you allow Me to touch your souls, and indeed I do, each one will have special moments that are memorable, uniting us more closely, these moments in time change and redirect lives.

 

On your day of judgment you must have more on the scale of good works and deeds of serving others, than on the other side of the scale with bad deeds and sins.

 

Be therefore conscious of doing good and serving the needs of others, for they will count as double when it comes to the tally.

 

Because of the good you have done in My Name, serving one another, I see it as having been done unto Me, no matter how small, love covers a multitude of sins.

 

Your existence is now living in eternity, your soul will not die but lives on into eternity, you are now on the path to Heaven or on the path to damnation, each step is one step closer to your destiny.

 

I saved humanity by My coming to earth on Christmas, you were all saved from death, freed from the captivity of sin and from Satan’s tyranny.

 

To know this is a blessing, to believe with faith is a gift, this freedom was gained for you personally, walk ye therefore in it and live forever unbound.

 

Live your life in all humility, knowing that you are completely dependent on God and not on self.

 

Practice virtue, gaining daily in holiness, remembering that all were created in the Image of God, thereby sustaining joy and happiness.

 

I came from Heaven for love of you, and I prepared a dwelling place for you in this realm above,

I came to serve, not to be served, you are to follow Me, and I will make you fit for Heaven, I will make you a saint.

 

Gradually, and without your really comprehending the magnitude of grace in your daily life on the earth, I prepare you with ever increasing graces, that bring you victory over temptations and habitual sin.

 

Pray for those who do not know that their lives are hanging in the balance, I have revealed the Truth to you and you are in My Heart, but I died also for them, and My Heart aches in the loss.

 

My Heart was pierced and remains open awaiting their return to Me, it is awaiting late comers who at the last moment may convert, but there is a door that is set to close, pray My dear ones for them.

TOGETHER LET US PRAY THE OUR FATHER PRAYER

 2020-12-17                TOGETHER LET US PRAY THE OUR FATHER PRAYER                   INRI                                                                                                   

 

I know what pleases My Father in Heaven, so, when you begin to pray the “OUR FATHER” prayer I Myself cover you with My Holiness, My Presence covers you completely.

 

Thus, the Father sees Me in you and you in Me, in this way your prayer is magnified and obtains great graces for yourselves and all the world.

 

I infuse in you knowledge on how to bless His Name Who is in Heaven, how to obey His Commands on earth, and as God is ubiquitous, omnipotent, you are able to receive everything that He Wills.

 

I am your daily bread, when you receive Me in Holy Eucharist, I lift you to My Cheek, to receive your kiss to Me, now as I return you to the world, as I set you once again on your feet, now you are able to bring My Love to others, for you cannot give what you yourself have not received.

 

I do not leave you, but empower you to do great things, greater than you think, all I need is your trust to accomplish the mission that has been given to you, uniquely prepared for today with all its challenges.

 

The prayer of the “OUR FATHER” was given from Heaven, in it is contained all that is thanksgiving and petition, pray it with great fervor, it was given to you as a gift of lasting value.

 

As you know, I endured much pain and suffering during the execution of My Passion, but did you know that the Holy Trinity was in complete JOY during all this time, knowing that in its accomplishment that all humanity would be redeemed at last.

 

This is a time for repentance, and for joy, you are to acknowledge that I came to earth to lead you all to the Truth, it is a difficult time for My children in these days of so much deception and temptations.

 

You need to invoke the aid of St. Michael, the Archangel and the Nine Choirs of Angels, they were created to serve God and you, The Holy Spirit is an indispensable Gift, so necessary in life always.

 

Give attention to the Blessed Virgin, My Mother, I put all My Trust in Her as a helpless little child, and I expect you to follow My lead in honoring Her, She can inspire and intercede for all your needs.

 

I know that you have many unanswered questions at this time, but faith has always been the vehicle that Heaven has used for the means of maneuvering through the darkness of this life on earth.

 

Never doubt that God through all of what you are experiencing is well aware of all of your hardships, what you have seen is only a prelude to greater destruction and enslavement of My people.

 

In order to purify My Church, much needs to change, there have been leaders who have caused division and loss of faith among those who had previously been faithful, I need to intervene.

 

As the sun still shines above a cloudy sky, know that there is joy still in Heaven, even as God’s plan unfolds on this troubled, darkened path that earth has taken, hope is born anew.

DECISIONS THAT MATTER

 2020-12-10                                  DECISIONS THAT MATTER                                          INRI

 

Every person, each day for that matter, will have decisions to make, some small and insignificant, and at times some big ones, these must be made prayerfully, asking Me to assist them.

 

There will be times that it will not matter much in which you choose, God leaves the little things to your discretion and preference, they usually do not lead you to or away from God, choose as you wish.

 

But some decisions will be made only as you wait upon My directives, these are life changing and I want you to know how, and when, and if you should proceed at all in this direction.

 

How shall you know these things, it is peace within your heart, this will incite you to action or if the situation warrants it, to take the time and pray until an answer is received.

 

Sometimes you will be pressured to make a hurried and rash decision, the evil one wants you to be confused and to make decisions you may later regret.

 

Waiting upon the Lord is not as easy as one might think, there may be outside pressures, convincing you this way is right or the other, maybe simultaneously.

 

When you remain in the state of grace, having the right relationship with God, enables you to more easily hear Me speak what you are needing to hear, at this most critical time in your decision making.

 

At other times, you may be thinking that, I will surely approve of your decision it seems so obvious to you, yet you must step back perhaps and take a second look, as you pray and ask for an answer.

 

I am within your soul, and I want what is best for you at all times, I see what you do not, think of a little rudder on a huge ship, it is so small in comparison to the ship, yet it can change its direction, a small decision in the wrong direction can make a big impact on your life.

 

When making serious decisions, wait and pray, I will not hide important facts that you need to know, in order that you make an informed and wise decision.

 

But should you make a decision that was not quite the best one, I, God Almighty, Am here to rescue those I love and care for.

 

Therefore do not be afraid of making mistakes, for in your lifetime you will, but as you seek to do My Will, yet even if you do fail, I will assist you in your efforts to get back on track to the right path.

BEING HOLY IS IMPERATIVE

 2020-12-03                                BEING HOLY IS IMPERATIVE                                        INRI

 

Holiness is a goal that you must strive for each day until the end of your earthly life, it is not optional, it is imperative, in order to obtain your eternal reward.

 

Strive to put God first in your life, loving Me as I have Commanded, this is not just a suggestion but the First Commandment, you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.

 

In order to prepare you now, to walk in Heaven with Me, you must decide today that you will live for Me completely resolved to live your life for Me.

 

It may seem an impossibility, but what would be impossible, would be to strive alone without My help, for when you were created, it was Our idea that you be reinstated in holiness, and it will be My initiative to work in you to that end.

 

You were made to be holy, to be like Me in all your being, you are never to be discouraged in your efforts, many graces await you throughout your day, I want you to attain success and to be joyful.

 

Because of My great love for you, I will not give up trying to influence your decisions concerning holiness and leading you to do good works, which encourages others in their walk toward holiness.

 

You were chosen in Me by the Father, having been made in Our Image and Likeness, to become a citizen of Heaven, sin has disfigured you and blinded your right thinking, the world has made evil look good and what is good to seem to be evil.

 

The more that sin is eradicated from your life, the more you will be able to follow and resemble Me.

 

Give permission allowing Me to change whatever is needed in your life, in order to accomplish this transformation sooner than later.

 

When you receive Me in the Holy Eucharist, your soul is purified, sanctified, consoled and preserved.

 

Each Communion brings you more in line, more readily disposed to receive specific graces, that have been arranged for your advancement in the virtue of holiness that you are sincerely seeking.

 

When you study the lives of the Saints that have gone before you, you will discover that they each found different ways to the same end which is holiness, declared necessary in order to see God.

 

The Saints of Heaven, and Angels too, are all helping the Church Militant on earth to achieve their goal of holiness, walk humbly with your God, Who through the Holy Spirit instructs and directs your path.
