SEE, I AM SENDING MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU WHO WILL PREPARE
YOUR WAY; ISAIAH ****
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness
to testify to the Light,
so that all might believe through him. He, himself, was not the Light,
but he came to testify that the
true Light, who would enlighten everyone, was already in the world.
;John 1: 6-10
John the Baptist was the messenger, or witness, sent from God the Father
to prepare the people for
my coming. John was a good man who loved God very much. His desire
to please God was so
great that his only thoughts and actions in life were to do God's bidding.
He was bold in his delivery
of the promises of God. He would come among the people and, in an excited,
booming voice,
proclaim the good news of salvation. He would call on them to repent
of their sinful ways and return
to their God. He was a very colorful preacher who went about his duties
in a very direct manner. His
sermons were never dull; he would stir up the people with his dramatic
teachings. He baptized
multitudes of people with his charismatic approach to the laws of God.
His voice was heard over the
land, and he was instrumental in converting many to the knowledge of
God. God the Father knew, in
his infinite wisdom, that a man of vision, a man of fortitude, a man
of charismatic personality, would
be needed to stir up the people--a man who would tell the people, in
a thundering voice, to repent of
their sinful ways, be baptized and made clean in the eyes of God, and
be brought back into the
Father's light. John was well chosen. He performed his work well and
prepared the way for my
coming among my people to save them from the enemy of the soul. He
was the forerunner of my
mission on earth, and he is blessed by the Father for the accomplishments
he made while on earth.
He came with a loud, booming voice that shook the timbers, stirred
the waters, and put the fear of
the Lord in the people who listened to him.
John had served his purpose well for his time in gospel history. Now,
in this time of gospel history,
the time of the second great revival of mankind is about to revealed.
God the Father chose John to
be my forerunner--who would I entrust to be my forerunner for my second
coming to the earth?
Who would I send to go among my people, stirring up their hearts to
make them aware of God's
blessings and turning them away from their sinful ways? Who would I
send to love them, to comfort
them, to warn them, to plead with them to come back into God's loving
arms? There is only one
whom I would consider for this vast task--my mother, Mary. I would
send her to my people to
present my case and to envelop mankind in her mantle of love, a mother's
love for her children. My
mother would gather her children around her and speak to them of her
divine Son who would return
to the earth and take his faithful followers back to the heavenly kingdom
with him. She, the fairest of
all creation, would precede me and be my special instrument to bring
my message of love to all my
people. I granted her permission to enter the world's atmosphere and
to be visibly seen by many in
order that my message would be received by mankind.
Unlike John, she comes with a gentleness of spirit. She comes in a calm,
serene manner and states
her case. She comes as a mother to warn her children of the impending
danger the world is in at this
time. But, most of all, she comes with love and presents her Son's
love to all who will listen.
Make note--Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of Divine Grace,
the mother of all nations,
has been sent to earth to dispatch my messages of love, of warnings,
to all who will listen. Do not
take the rumors of her appearances lightly, for she comes at my bidding
to rekindle man's love for his
Creator. She comes in the wind, a gentle breeze that stirs the hearts
of men so that they will become
as little children and return to their Father's arms. Heed her warnings,
for she comes with first-hand
knowledge of God's wishes for his people. Those of you who have no
knowledge of my mother, I
say unto you: If you believe in John the Baptist, you must believe
in Mary, the mediatrix of all graces.
For if John found favor with his God, how much more would God favor
a young maiden who said
YES to his request that she do his will and become the mother of Jesus,
his Son.
So, you see, Mary has been sent down from heaven to, like John, prepare
the way for her beloved
Son. She has come with the blessings of the almighty Father to place
her mantle of protection over
her children and to warn them of the danger the world is in at this
time. She comes in the name of the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to convey God's love for mankind. She
comes, like John, as a beacon
of light, to testify that the true Light will soon come down and enlighten
the world of man's salvation.
She comes once more to ask men to give up their errant ways and return
to the Father's love before
it is too late. She comes to warn her children of Satan's plight and
his desires to devour mankind and
cheat man of his rightful place with God.
Man must now listen and adhere to my mother's messages, just as, in
days of old, man listened to
John the Baptist. She brings warnings, but most of all, she brings
love that emanates from God the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. She is love sent among mankind
to bring men back to their
rightful place in God's kingdom
I leave you now to ponder over this lesson. Pray from your hearts for
discernment of the messages
from my blessed mother Mary and listen to her pleas for the good of
mankind.
Your loving friend and savior,
JESUS
