IF AT ONCE YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART

This is the lesson I impart to you this night:

I come to many of my people. I whisper to them words of love, words of compassion, words of
praise for doing my will, but many turn a deaf ear to my voice.

I whisper to them, ever so gently. I do not force myself on any-one. I only want to love you. I only
want you to know I am always with you in time of trials, in time of tribulations, and, most of all, in
time of joy. I laugh with you! I cry with you! I rejoice with you! I am your true friend and
companion. I never get weary of being with you. I delight in your company. Even those of you who
do not feel beautiful, brilliant, or lovable in the eyes of man, I am with you, for I do not look on your
countenance, but at your heart. "You are blessed and wonderfully made" by my Father, and I want
to be your special friend and companion on the journey to your heavenly home.

Listen for my voice. Listen to the inner stirrings of your heart. Stay quiet and listen to the words I
speak to you in your mind, in your heart. Your intuition, as you refer to it, is often my words to you,
my wishes for you, and sometimes, my warnings to you. Take heed and listen, for you never know
when I may want to converse with you.

You have all been blessed with an inner mechanism that is meant to communicate with me. It works
much like a radio transmitter. You cannot see the wave bands coming across the wires into the radio
transmitter; you cannot see the wave bands coming into the transmitter, but you can hear the words
of the announcer as he presents his program. You can hear the music, the news, the commentator,
but they are invisible to the naked eye. Well, in the same way, my wave bands are sent to you--you
may not see me, but you can hear me, if your hearts are in "tune" to me. If your heart is not hardened
by the world's loud and vulgar sounds that drown out my soft and gentle voice of love.

There are so many times I am with you, and I just want you to talk to me, laugh with me, (You
know, I do have a wonderful sense of humor), pray with me, acknowledge me, and listen with your
heart. Open your hearts to me, and you will soon hear my voice speaking to you through your inner
senses.

Many may say you are crazy when you tell them about our conversations, but pay them no mind.
Simply tell all doubters to try to get in touch with me, and I will show them the peace and love that I
give

to all of my children who love me. Why should you not talk to me? Are you afraid? Please do not be
afraid of me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and I love you as no human being can ever love
you.

Please listen for my voice. I may whisper to you as you sleep. I may talk with you in a more forcible
voice, if I feel you are about to embark on a dangerous journey in your life that will take you away
from me. Ask me often to come and visit with you. Listen to the wind, listen to the waters, listen to
my creatures, birds and other animals, and most of all, listen to my little ones. Have you ever heard
the expression "out of the mouths of babes"? Have you ever thought that the wisdom that comes
from small children is in reality words from me through the gift of a child? Next time you hear a
profound statement coming from a child, take note, for the words coming in a child's voice may be
the heavenly voice speaking to you through a child. Oh, how I love the little ones! They are not
afraid of me. Have you ever heard little ones conversing with someone not visible to the human eye?
Well, guess who that might be! Listen to their conversation; listen to their laughter. I delight in their
company. Oh, you mighty men, become as little children. Open your hearts to your God. Harden not
your hearts to my voice. Listen, and you will find your peace, your life will be changed, and you will
never be afraid to live, for to live without my love is not living--it is merely existing.

So, I ask of you, come to me, open your hearts, open your ears for my voice. You will know my
wishes for you, and you will find true happiness. Please try it--do not be afraid and do not give up
after the first try. Anything worthwhile is worth trying over and over until you get the best results. So,
I ask you, try to hear my voice, pray to me for enlightenment and listen, for I will be there, I promise
you. It will be so wonderful, and it is so easy. Love me, pray to me, come to me, and LISTEN. Just
listen for my gentle whisper, for my laughter, for my loving words to you. I am with you always.

Your loving friend and savior,

JESUS
