I thank you for your obedience in your request that I come and visit
with you on the subject I spoke
to you about in the last message. Let me begin by saying, you are blessed
by the Triune Godhead.
Bow your head and receive the blessing, and we will then continue our
conversation. Very
good--now listen and write what I will be saying to you:
What does this term mean? To whom is it referring? Let me explain. When
I began my ministry on
earth, I knew that I would need human men to help me in my mission
to bring my Father's message
to the people. I knew that I would only be on earth for a short time,
and then I would leave to go
back to my heavenly kingdom. So, in order for me to keep my mission
alive after I had ascended, I
prayed to my Father to help guide me to the special group of men that
would help with this awesome
responsibility. I did not choose hastily. Only after much prayer and
contemplation did I go among the
people to find my band of men that would help me in this important
mission. The group of men I
chose were just average men, for I chose from the working group, the
professionals, and friends that
would be dependable, hardworking, and strong-willed. I tried many,
but the twelve who responded
were the designated team to walk with me on this lonely, but beautiful,
journey back to my heavenly
home. I could have chosen among the elite of the city or of the synagogue,
but, no, I knew that in
order to reach all the people, both rich and poor, both intelligent
and uneducated, I must choose
ordinary men that would be able to preach (talk) to the people in their
own language. I wanted these
chosen ones to be able to go forward to all nations after I left, preaching
and teaching in my name
and bringing the good news of salvation to all my people. We had to
work as a unified team with
only one purpose in mind: to go out and teach the people how to love,
not hate, and how to convey
my love to the people.
The twelve chosen disciples were all different in personalities. They
were from all walks of life. They
were men that I knew could be counted on to continue my mission on
earth. I chose them; they did
not choose me.
After the men were chosen, I asked that they come together every day
to meet with me. Before each
meeting, I would pray to my heavenly Father for guidance, and then
I would conduct the meeting. I
explained who I was and what I was about. Many, as all of you, said,
"Why me, Lord? I am not
worthy to be your disciple. I do not have money to travel; I do not
have dignified manners; I do not
speak well in a crowd. How can I, a common, ordinary man, fulfill your
wish to be 'fisher of men'?" I
responded that I came among ordinary people because it is the simple
man who always responds to
my call. It is the simple man who comes with love and prays with his
heart, and it is this type of man I
wanted to pass on my ministry to. I would teach them how to pray for
guidance and how to gather
my people together to inspire them about me and my heavenly Father.
I explained that I would leave
the Holy Spirit to guide them when my time on earth was finished, for
I knew, because of their
human characters, they would become frightened when I left and would
not be able to continue
without me. I molded these ordinary pieces of clay into vessels that
would pour out my love to the
whole world.
Now many will ask, "What about Judas Iscariot?" Know that I knew that
it would be he that would
bring my ministry on earth to an end. For, even though I nurtured,
loved, and taught him like the
others, he would always be the one who became frustrated and disbelieving.
He was unable to forgo
his material wealth for heavenly wealth. He could not understand that
what I was teaching was about
a greater richness, about a richness that could never be attained by
ordinary means. He was not a
bad person, only attached to worldly goods instead of heavenly goods.
(Does this sound familiar?
So many claiming they are my disciples and speaking in my name are
doing the same.)
The first twelve chosen disciples were molded, taught lessons, and nourished
by me until we were
bonded into a chain of unity. Have you ever noticed a chain--one tiny
piece of metal, paper, or other
material linked together until it becomes a circle welded together
in unity? However, it only takes one
of those [pieces] to break and then the strong circle is broken. This
is likened to what happened to
my completed chain of love. I developed this beautiful chain of men.
I polished and refined them and
built a circle of love so precious that it would [withstand] all dangers
from outside the circle. But
what happened? One piece of the chain, from within the circle, broke
away, and the chain had to
again be welded and intertwined stronger than before, until I was certain
that when I left, the chain of
love would hold together and that my work would be carried on for all
times. After I was satisfied
that my chain, or circle of love, would stay strong and would withstand
any hardship, I said, "It is
finished." I gave up my spirit and ascended to my heavenly kingdom.
I have been working this miracle, molding chains of love, from this
heavenly realm, time and time
again over the centuries, for the first group of men I left on the
earth to carry out my ministry went
among the people of all nations, preaching and teaching my good news
of salvation, and they, in turn,
banded another chain of love, under my guidance, to go forth after
them to preach and teach in my
name. So it has been, century after century. I have never left my people
unattended. I have sent
strong disciples to care for them and to love and nourish them in my
name. Every man can be joined
to my chain of love, if he will just open his heart and mind to my
love.
Now, let me say to those who have chosen to be a spokesman for me in
many different religious
affiliations, listen to my words. You have been chosen by the specific
order of Melchizedek, and the
vows you took MUST NOT be taken lightly. If you have a chosen vocation
to serve me in the
ministry, much is expected of you. For, as you have witnessed, my true
disciples are not chosen
unwisely. If I have spoken to your heart, and you love me enough to
enter into my ministry, you must
listen to my words.
Many ministers who speak in my name on the earth today have not been
chosen by me to do so.
Maybe, when they first entered the seminary or synagogue, they honestly
wanted to serve me. But I
see such abomination in my churches today, that I say, woe be to anyone
who speaks as a chosen
disciple of mine, who gives unholy advice or bad example to my people!
They will pay a dear price
when they reach the heavenly kingdom. For the heavenly Father will
sit in judgment of them.
Also, many of the chosen ones have broken the special bond of love that
they made with me, this
chain that I so lovingly welded together. They are like Judas of old;
they betray me with
sugar-coated words that sound good, but do not come from the heart
where I always implant my
loving words to all my chosen ones. How dare they act as a minister
of God and go about their daily
lives as if Satan were their teacher instead of me! Some of these try
to outdo others in building the
largest, finest structures. They use the wave lengths to impress people
with their charismatic delivery
of my Word, and people send money to support their worldly ways. Many
of my churches are being
overwhelmed by badly misguided ministers. This is not to say that all
churches are not beautiful in my
sight, for many were built by people who truly love me and who, out
of the generosity of their hearts,
give much of their earnings to build an edifice to honor me or some
saintly member of my world. But
let me reiterate, if you are a minister speaking in my name, you had
better understand this chain of
love. If you were chosen by me to go among my people speaking my good
news of salvation, I am
charging you with the salvation of my people. Your life must not be
a tarnished piece of the chain. It
must always be a shining, beautiful chain that will glow with my love
and all your congregation will be
able to see the light that emanates from it. Because you are human,
you will have faults just as my
disciples of old, I realize this, but what I do not condone is the
lackluster way you perform your
duties. So many of you go about your duties in a haphazard way. You
do not seem to realize the
special privilege that I have granted you. You are not humble in your
duties. You hurry through
services as if you had more important things to do; you mumble the
words; you go through the
movements as a zombie instead of a dedicated disciple of God. Your
daily routine is not to minister
to my people, but to do work of your own choosing. How many times have
you sluffed off your
duties to someone else? How many times have you mismanaged your time
on things that do not
pertain to my ministry, but on your selfish desires? How many times
have you neglected my sick, my
bereaved, my hurting flock?
I see such abomination in my "priestly people." So many lies, so many
deceits, so many inexcusable
lifestyles that do not give good example, and the ones I abhor the
most are those that abuse my little
ones. How can you perform such an abominable act and then go to the
altar of God and profess to
speak in my name? WOE BE TO ALL OF YOU, NO MATTER WHAT RANK YOU HOLD!
DO NOT SPEAK IN MY NAME IF YOU CANNOT LIVE BY MY PRINCIPLES. If you
have
a personal problem, leave the ministry and pray that you will be forgiven.
You must not wear a collar
(circle) if you cannot represent me in your daily walk with me among
my people. To those who
consent to be my spokesmen, I expect much of you. I do not want any
tarnished chains among my
circle of love. You must be glowing like the finest piece of gold and
give good example by your
exemplary lives so that all your congregation will know you serve their
Lord and master. Those that
serve with a higher rank must not use this investiture to control other
ministers or lay people. They
must learn to live by my commandments. They must learn my precepts
of love, understanding, and
compassion, and not stand in judgment of others. I alone am the judge
of my people. You must lead
with kindness and tenderness and understanding. However, I do want
you to be forceful if you know
of any of your charges ministering to my people unworthily.
STOP THE ABOMINATION IN MY CHURCHES, NOW! My disciples must be men of
strength that will never break this chain of love with me. To all of
you who are preaching in my name,
I tell you, you must pray from your hearts. Do not give me lip service--give
me heart service. Do not
abandon my people because you do not have time to listen or minister
to them. The life you have
chosen may not be an easy one, according to earth's standards, but
I promise you, if you walk with
me and converse with me and listen for my answers, you will be rewarded
with a fulfilling life that no
ordinary human can comprehend. I warn you the world is gearing itself
for a monumental
catastrophe. Beware, all of you ministers of God! You had better get
your act together and bring
your people back into the fold. You had better become true examples
of my chosen ones. You had
better minister in my name with all your hearts and souls, or you will
be reprimanded by my Father.
DO NOT SPEAK OF ME IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME. Could you speak of a stranger?
Yes,
you say you speak from my Word, but it must go further than that. Anyone
can read from my Word,
but that does not mean that he represents me. But you who claim to
be my representatives on earth
must do more than read my Word, you must come to me in soulful prayer
every day. I must be able
to mold you and weld you into a beautiful, shining chain of love. This
love must be intertwined with
mine if you are going to continue my mission on earth and bring my
people back to me. You must
pray from your hearts and listen for my summons. I, and only I, will
be giving you the perfect words
to convey to my people. Then you must live as a true disciple of mine
by your loving example and by
your dedication to my mission of bringing my people back to their heavenly
home.
So many of you have failed me and this is why I turn my back on you
and go among the people to
find special friends that will do my bidding. They have not taken special
vows nor gone through
special ceremonies to be ministers of mine and witnesses to my name.
They have come, not
expecting any material gain, but simply opening their hearts to me
so that a beautiful chain of love
could be molded and welded together. They pray from their hearts and
wait and listen for my
answer. To many of these fine people, I am giving my instructions on
helping my hurting flock. I
unfortunately, could not get through to some of my "priestly people,"
so I went among those whose
love and devotion would never tarnish. They love me and only want to
do as I ask. To these faithful
servants much will be given. I need more Mother Teresa's, Fulton Sheen's,
John Paul's, and Billy
Graham's to witness in my world today. I tell you, you must mend your
ways. You must truly
minister to my people lovingly and always give good example to them
by your lives. After all, would
so many have followed me if I spoke one way and my lifestyle was another
way, one that was filled
with evil deeds? No, my ministry would not have lasted one year if
I and my chosen disciples had
acted like some of you who say that you have been chosen by me to speak
to my people. You had
better start praying and meditating and listening to me; otherwise,
it might be too late.
If you speak in the name of God, be sure you can, by your example, give
evidence that you are truly
my disciple. You cannot speak of the love of God and live in a manner
unbecoming a true disciple of
mine. Put on humility, put on kindness, but most of all, put on love--my
love--and bring it to the
people. Do not put yourself on a pedestal, thinking you are God and
people must listen to you and
do what you demand them to do. Did I come down as a king to lead my
people? NO, I came as a
servant, as a shepherd to tend to my flock. I came in perfect love,
I was humble, kind, and tender.
Do likewise in remembrance of me, and then you will know the real meaning
of priestly people.
Your master teacher,
JESUS
