Jesus, would please give me the gift of endless adoration of You?
"Oh, such a request makes My Heart swoon. You must give up all created things to be free enough to be with Me on that level. Those who are willing to pass by their attachments to what people think, how they look in the eyes of man, what they enjoy in foods and entertainments –those to whom the whole world is dead, I can grant this gift, if they seek after it.”
It would seem
to me, Lord, that there are
people like that in the world. I
know that even Ezekiel and I
have felt that way at different
times.
“Well, there are... But they don’t desire Me, and being so caught up in Me that they voice that desire. Or even consider asking it.
But why?
“Why do you think?
”They feel unworthy?
“That's part of it. But partly because they never imagined that a gift like that could be had. And I AM here to tell them it.
“THE GIFT OF CONTINUOUS CONTEMPLATION OF MY GOODNESS IS AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO ASK. YET THERE IS A CERTAIN COST INVOLVED. THEY MUST BE DETACHED FROM THE COMFORTS THE WORLD CAN AFFORD.”
"I'm simply telling you what is available to those who would believe. You must have faith, not works. In other words, it's not up to you, My Love. T his kind of grace, it's up to Me. The only reason Cuthbert did that was so that He could be with Me; his desire was so acute and burning, the very thought of falling asleep and losing consciousness of Me was abhorrent to him. Do you understand?"
“Yes, there are yet unimaginable heights of glory to those who believe. The key IS belief, not works.”
Anyway, I told the Lord – I don’t see all these preoccupations. It’s more like I’m constantly trying to cut things out of my life. He continued the sentence and said,"
...and to find shortcuts to get those things done without having to invest your time. But even that begets trouble because you must teach and supervise others. How much better would it be if you didn't need those things or even consider them?"
Ok, but now we're talking about things like firewood?
"No, I'm not pointing to necessities. I’m pointing to superfluities.”
“Do you know that your cat is better at contemplating Me than you are?”
"Yes, My Love, it is. Therefore, the people who are most scorned in the world are the ones who are most taken up with Me. Under this category are the homeless, the native cultures, those who abandon the world to live a primitive life, like the hermit-‐that is, if they abandon the world for My sake, not because they no longer want to participate or they’re lazy. There are two types here: those who abandon the world out of pain and inability to function in it, and those who function quite well, but have chosen the better part.”
But what about leaving others behind and not contributing to society?
“It is a calling, My Love.It is not something you take upon yourself; it is something I call you to. And with it comes the solemn responsibility to love and to pray for humanity.
“We will speak on this more. I just wanted to plant these thoughts in your heart. I know your heart, Clare, I created it. I know the times of your life. I know what your deepest longings are. For now, take care of the flock entrusted to you and contemplate My Glory. As you empty yourself more and more of your affections for this created world, I will open to you more and more of the realms of Glory.
“AND FOR ALL OF YOU, MY BRIDES, BE ASSURED THE LIFE LIVED IN SOLITUDE AND SIMPLICITY IS A VERY SPECIFIC CALLING. IF YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO IT BY ME, IT IS A DISASTER! SO, DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF WANTING SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU THINK IT IS SO HOLY. NO, THE ONLY HOLY LIFE FOR YOU IS THE ONE LIVED IN OBEDIENCE TO MY KNOWN WILL AND YOUR STATE IN LIFE.
“Yet, we will talk more about this life at another time. In the meantime, My blessing is upon you as you learn of more and more ways to put away your flesh and yield your life and times to Me.”

Living
Everyday in the Realms of
Glory
September 16, 2015
The Lord’s
sweet presence and counsel is with
us, Heartdwellers. I wanted to bring
something up before I got into
the message. There’s a young man
by the name of Douglas, 25
years old, who had a four-‐wheeler
accident and is in critical condition
in Albuquerque. He’s been unresponsive
ever since the accident and they
don’t think he’s going to make
it. And he’s unsaved, so we’re
asking for prayers for him. Thank
you.

No!
"Would I lie to you?"
No, You wouldn’t lie to me.
“Well consider then, they do not weave, they do not spin or think about what they will eat for dinner, wanting something a little different, you know a little variety in their menu. No, they eat, sleep and contemplate. Their minds are simple, like a child's-‐so they are able to slip into a place of awareness of Me that your complicated mentality does not permit you in this life.
"Just because you can't hear their thoughts doesn't mean they are stupid! What about the flowers that turn and follow us in Heaven. They are not even animals, but are aware of Me and of us. H ow can all Creation groan if there is not an awareness of Me?” (btw, that Scripture is found in Romans 8:22 All Creation groans.) They are not dense or illusive-‐you are."
Wow. We are the crowning glory of Your Creation and we are ‘dense and illusive’??
“That's right. BECAUSE OF YOUR INCREASED AWARENESS AND INTELLIGENCE OF HOW THINGS WORK, YOU TEND TO GET DISTRACTED INTO THE FINER DETAILS OF LIFE. BUT THEY ARE SIMPLE, LIKE CHILDREN. AND IT’S MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO BE DRAWN INTO ME...THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE TO THINK AND QUESTION ABOUT. AND MAN, IN HIS QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE AND POWER, HAS CONTAMINATED HIS MIND TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT HE HAS WALKED A MILLION MILES AWAY FROM ME IN DAILY PRACTICE.
“THAT IS WHY MORE PRIMITIVE CULTURES ARE CLOSER TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD THAN THE SO -‐CALLED INDUSTRIAL NATIONS. YET, THEIR INTELLIGENCE IS MERELY A MIRAGE...BECAUSE WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN THEIR LIVES IS OVERLOOKED. SO, IN THE LAST ANALYSIS, MAN, WHO SEES HIMSELF SUPREMELY INTELLIGENT, IS SUPREMELY IGNORANT OF THOSE THINGS THAT MATTER TO HIM THE MOST, NAMELY HIS ABODE FOR ETERNITY.
”What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but loses his very own soul? Mark 8:36
Wow, Lord. This is deep.
"Would I lie to you?"
No, You wouldn’t lie to me.
