“This
is a season of distraction into
frivolous and worldly pursuits and as
the Rapture draws nearer, it becomes
much more dangerous to let your
mind stray.
“My
Brides, keep your eyes on the
prize, keep your eyes on Me. Don't
allow the enemy to barrage you
with distractions and pull you off
task. You are far too dangerous to
him and he is seeking to disarm
you through distractions and social
obligations that have no bearing on
holiness. If you follow after these
things, it becomes a matter of ‘What
shall I wear? What shall we eat?
Where shall we meet? How can I make
it festive? Who should I invite? What
should I tell them to wear’.
On and on and on -‐ad
infinitum.
“While
you pursue all these foolish things,
I am left to languish without
the company of My Most Beloved
Bride. I need your attentions
now more than ever. The world
is still progressing into the
Tribulation, and the Rapture is still
on the horizon. Do you want
to be caught unaware and perhaps
be drawn so far from Me that
your lamp goes out?
“Every
year I go through this season of
distraction with My Beloved. Every
year Satan plans attacks against the
Body
that they are not watching for,
because of their own distractions.
What you have gone through, My
Love, in these last few days is
but a microcosm of what My whole
entire Body is going through. And I
need you to share your battles
of late with them."
“MY
BRIDES, THIS IS A SEASON WHEN THE
ENEMY USES YOUR BUSY WORK AND
SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS TO DRAW YOU WAY,
WAY OFF COURSE. HE PLANS
STRATEGIC ATTACKS AT THIS TIME OF
THE YEAR, BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU WON'T
BE VIGILANT. MANY, MANY EVIL
THINGS BEGIN WHEN YOUR ATTENTIONS ARE
ON OTHER THINGS. BUT THE WORST
DAMAGE IS DONE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP, AND
YOUR LAMPS BECOME PERILOUSLY EMPTY ON
THE VERGE OF GOING OUT. PLEASE,
REFUSE THE INVITATION TO RELENTLESSLY
PURSUE THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD.
“Put
Me in number one position in
your priorities and with the time
left over, take care of the
basics, for you know not the
hour when I will come.”
BECAUSE OF GREED, WE ARE
BEING LIED TO. BE A WISE CONSUMER,
RECOGNIZE ASTROTURFING.
Astroturfing
is the practice of masking the sponsors
of a message or organization (e.g.,
political, advertising, religious or public
relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is
supported by grassroots
participant(s). It is a practice intended to give the statements or
organizations more credibility by withholding information about the
source's financial connection. The term astroturfing
is a derivation of AstroTurf,
a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to look like natural grass, a
play on the word "grassroots." The implication behind the
use of the term is that there are no "true" or "natural"
grassroots, but rather "fake" or "artificial"
support, though some astroturfing operatives defend the practice . On
the Internet, astroturfers use software to mask their identity.
Sometimes one individual operates over many personas to give the
impression of widespread support for their client's agenda.[1][2]
Some studies suggest astroturfing can alter public viewpoints and
create enough doubt to inhibit action. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing Listen to the video and know the liars.
KEEP YOUR CHILDREN
AWAY FROM HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION.
Here's why:
Halloween is a
Satanic pagan holiday practiced by satanists and witches.
Halloween opens you
to the dark side. It is dedicated to satan, death and decay.
It is the
celebration of evil, the dead, and partying.
We're glorifying
evil when we dress as goblins, witches.
To the satanists, it
means ritual sacrifices, human and animal sacrifices, beating, babies
are being murdered, and sexual abuse.
The decorations in
HALLOWEEN are dried spiders, vampires, ghosts, human hands, other
body parts
We are desensitized
to evil. But the spiritual realm is very real. You are inviting the
evil by celebrating Halloween.
Halloween candies,
costumes are cursed. Witches curse churches, and people who speak out
about Halloween.
Celebrate instead
the FEAST OF TABERNACLES, a God-instituted holy day, resting with the
Lord.. Next year celebration, Oct 17-24, 2016. 8-day celebration.

Some of the landmarks of heaven from the testimony of KAT KERR:
River of Life, Holy City, Animal Parks, Valley of the Falls, the Crystal Sea, the Rush, the Hall of Knowledge, The Hall of Nations, Surf Parks, The Portal, Nurseries for Aborted Children, Mountain of Spices, The Creation lab, Garden of Fountains, Mansions, restaurants, shops, amphitheater, etc.
You cannot enter heaven with unforgiven sins. Without shedding of blood, your sins cannot be forgiven [Hebrews 9:22]
One day you will stand before God and the only hope you have is through JESUS.
In other words the cross=salvation. [via repentance]
Now through Jesus we can boldly approach the Throne of Grace to obtain mercy in our time of need. [Hebrews 4:16]

The
Lord is with us, precious
Heartdwellers. God bless you all.
Tonight
is a little bit different. I’ve
been in prayer for a few hours
and I have to say that, because
there’s been so many things going
on around me, I’m kind of
losing my focus. I’m going to
have to start cutting back on
outside activities and get more
focused, because I just was not
able to clearly hear a message
tonight. I don’t want to invent
something, so I just put it up.
I said, you know, until I can
clear my mind a little bit
better, between our dog passing away
and construction on the front house
and other things that are going
on, it was just too much.
But
there is something that I feel
is very important that came before
me today. I believe that this
is something we all need to...it’s
a warning, a serious getting our
attention warming. It’s called “An
Assignment of Division Has Been Sent
Out by Satan against the Body.”
It
comes from the prophet Lana Vawser,
who I have extreme respect for.
I’m
just going to go ahead a read
this to you –it’s
her latest message, I just got
it today.
I saw
the enemy releasing an assignment
attempting to bring division right
across the body of Christ. I saw
this spirit attempting to wreak
havoc, stir suspicion, division and
breakdown of relationships all across
the body of Christ.This spirit was
attacking strategic relationships, and
networks right now that are going
to produce much fruit for the
Kingdom of God when they "work
together".
As
this divisive spirit was being
released across the body of Christ
I heard the Lord speak and He
said "what you partner with, you
will empower".
Later
on she kind of clarifies that,
by “partnering” it means what you
agree with -‐going to agree
with and support, you’re going to
empower with your own energy.
So in
the turbulence, what you partner
with, is what is going to be
fueled and empowered. The enemy has
been hitting strategic relationships so
hard lately, because of the
breakthrough move of His Spirit and
demonstration of His power and glory
that is about to be released on
a grander scale through them.
The
Lord then showed me the antidote
and the cure for this divisive
spirit and it was LOVE, LISTEN
and HONOUR. As the enemy is
attempting to stir up division, suspicion
and trouble between believers out of
nowhere, I felt the urgency of
the Lord to continue to LOVE,
LISTEN and HONOUR. As the people
of God stand together in love,
listening to one another and honoring
one another, I saw the enemy fleeing
screaming and shrieking and his plans
falling to the ground.
The
Lord is wanting to bring His
people together at a deeper level,
a greater expression of unity across
the Body of Christ, and we are
moving into a season of greater
unity right now, and the enemy is
terrified of this because in this
unity there is great power.
This
is not a passive "sit back and
let the Lord do it" but an
active "moving forward and towards"
one another with love, with ears
to hear and listen and honor.
Don't
give into the strife attempting to
be stirred, don't give into the
suspicion, don't partner with this
divisive spirit. The Lord is
releasing greater clarity and insight,
eyes to see things from His
perspective that is going to break
down walls, barriers and divisions.
Great
breakthroughs in unity and relationship
are happening right now. Greater
levels of favor are being released over
these strategic relationships. New depths
of relationship and networking to
further the Kingdom of God. Don't
allow the enemy to hinder what
God is about to do through
relationships in your life by
partnering with what he is whispering.
Partner
with the Lord. Move forward in
love and wisdom, with a heart to
listen and a heart to honor-‐and
that divisive spirit will flee in
Jesus name.
And
that’s the end of her message.
A beautiful, beautiful message. In our
own ministry, what I’m saying is,
we’re beginning to see this happen.
We have to be so careful to
recognize exactly what the devils are
doing. Forewarned is forearmed!
I
know in my situation, if I catch
people trying to divide or criticize
or anything like that, I’m not going
to go into agreement with someone, I’m
not going to sit there and let
them do it. I’m going to call
it off right there, nip it in
the bud. Because we don’t need
anything like that planted in our
heads. You know how things get
started: one person says one thing,
another says another and pretty soon
it’s spread out like a cancer
all over the Body. We really
have to be careful and protect
what the Lord has been doing.
You
know, on our channel He’s been
doing some wonderful, marvelous things.
I think–I
KNOW that we need to protect
what He’s given us, each
individually through the messages that
He’s shared with us. And not
allow the enemy any foothold of
division, not at all. To listen
to each other and to be loving,
kind and supportive. And to honor
one another. Honor is so important
because when we honor each other,
we show the value that Christ
has for each and every one of
us, and the position they hold
in the Body. We honor them and
we lift them up, and listen to
them and set ourselves aside.
One
of the things that did come to
me tonight, when I was trying to get
a message, was that the enemy was
coming in to try to steal
progress that’s been made in
different ministries all over the Body
of Christ and that he’s doing it
through self-interest, drawing people
away through self-interest and planting
suspicion.
So,
that’s a good warning for us.
I think we need to carry this
into our families. Some of you
have made wonderful progress with your
families and they’re coming to the
Lord. Be careful that the enemy
doesn’t undo it. Just be forewarned,
forearmed and be extremely loving and
respectful and honoring and that will
definitely send the enemy running.
Anyway,
I thank the Lord for Lana
because I know she hears from
the Lord, and I didn’t have a
message for you tonight. That came
across my desk and I thought
this is important for us to know
right now.
So,
the Lord provides fresh manna in any
case!
The
Lord bless you tonight, Heartdwellers.
Lets’ move ahead in unity and love,
marching shoulder to shoulder, and not allow
the enemy to break our ranks.
Father, we welcome
you. Jesus, we welcome you.Holy Spirit of God, our best friend, we
welcome you. All angelic hosts, We welcome you. All TV friends we
welcome you.
Heaven is watching.
They hear you, they don't miss when a baby is born.
There is party
in heaven. They know you are coming home.
The throne of God is surrounded with colors of rainbow: green teal, purple, sapphire blue.
People in heaven do
not carry Bible. It is inside you.
Our soul is connected with our tongue, eyes, ears.
Our soul is in our mind, what we think of, our choices,
and our emotions, the feelings we're displaying.
You can change your life by changing what you're saying.
Don't agree with the enemy.
We should speak of hope, life, truth.
The world will know us by loving each other.
The Holy Spirit wants to dwell in us.
Heaven has no limitation.
God wants us to be like children, enjoy your life in
heaven, no worries.
Declare and decree in your own homes and you will change
the atmosphere in your own home.
Upon waking up in the morning, start talking about God:
“Father, you are the most high God, You created the heaven and the
earth, you have wings for me and my family, you are our protector,
whatever is happening around me, my trust in You. I want Your
presence in my home, let the world see Your love in us. You have
dominion over the earth: the ground, the water, the air, the
spiritual atmosphere. You rule over this earth. Father, You sent
Your son to save us. Open our eyes, let me know You, give me
revelation so I can change this world. Let it start in m home.
Remind me in the morning what you want to declare and decree what
You want from me, Father, I agree, that the body of Christ on this
earth. we want your will done on earth, Your way, just like it
is heaven. So I give You permission to invade my life, my mind, my
soul, m spirit, take control. And Father, invade this land, let
heaven come and make a habitation in this land where I live. I
desire to live to see the day of your power take place on this
earth. When this country and this world will know there is a God.”
There is no time in heaven. No alarms, no schedules.
All is free in heaven.
There is no evil. No rejection, no lie, no hatred, no
judging, no lack.
Heaven is real and so is the ugly hell.
By blessing and loving people, you get your rewards in
heaven.
We can have authority over darkness if you have no darkness
in you.
Your guardian angel is with you from conception till he
brings you home to heaven
We have our individual gifts which you will use in heaven
for free. Example, gift of designing, baking, singing, etc.
There are places in heaven where it snows all the time,
spring all the time, summer all the time, fall all the time.
Prayer:
Father, I thank You for many ideas and inventions so I can create
them and put it in the market place to make kingdom finances
regardless of the economy of this world. I'm gonna wait for heaven's
economy so send down the inventions. And I thank you Father for
revelation, for showing me who You are . I want more., Catch me up
whenever You're ready. You have permission to catch me up and show me
heaven so I can share your love and your truth with others. Amen.
The
Lord bless you Heartdwellers. Today
the Lord had a really encouraging
message. It starts out a little
bit with an admonition, but all
in all it’s
encouraging. The Lord is talking about
time being short.
"Time
is very short, dearly loved ones. I
am still coming to get you soon
and some of you are still not
prepared. I have spoken over and
over again about what you must do.
Especially avoid sexual immorality. Do
you understand, it is a sin, it
will take your soul to Hell.
You must break with sin. What
you have been taught in the world
is in error and conditioning you
for the fires of Hell. Do you
think I say that lightly? I do
not. Your consciences are NOT
properly formed. Sleeping with someone
other than your wife or husband
is a sin, and some of you
keep on sinning. Please, stop this
behavior. Please get serious with Me.
If you truly Love Me, you will
obey Me. Break with sin, now.
Do not put off another day.
“Yes,
I am coming soon. Some of you
are ready, in fact some are
more than ready and you are
forming others in the right way
to go. Well done! I say to
you. It has cost you dearly,
but you have been firmly established
in righteousness and others are
following your example. Continue on
and remain vigilant, you will not
be totally safe until I take
you Home with Me. Lead others,
impart to them what I have
imparted to you. They
are watching you, they are following
you, and you are bringing forth
fruit for the Kingdom. I will
soon say to you, "Well done.
Enter into your Master's joy!"
“Others
among you have finally broken free
from the love of money and man.
You have grown to despise this
world and I am preparing you
for Heaven as well. Do not
think the changes in your character
are not noticed. They are, especially
by your relatives. Yes, they see the
changes and they wonder, ‘Perhaps
they are right about God in
their lives, after all.’ Yes,
your light is shining and drawing
all men to Me. Well done.
Continue in your good resolve and
do not allow yourself to slide
backwards. There is little time left,
hold onto the good, continue to
weed the garden of your heart.
There is a great reward awaiting you
in My Kingdom.
“Some
of you lie in your sick beds,
burning with love for Me and
for mankind. Yet day after day
you sorrow because you long to take a
more active role in the salvation
of souls. There is no more
active role than to pray. You
are at the center of the wheel,
and as such, reach out to the whole
world through the spokes, all the
way to the rim. If you were
on the rim, as those in the
field, you could not influence all
as you do from the center.
Could there be a more sublime
place? No, there is no place as
sublime as intercession. Your prayers
direct the course of history.
“To
you I say, your heavenly rewards are
beyond imagining. Your selfless devotion
to Me and My needs have made
you My Friend and My Bride. Do
not allow the enemy to efface
you by saying that you are sick
and therefore worthless. Understand, I knew
all about this sickness and its
timing before you were born and
I knew you would be standing in
the gap with Me interceding for
these souls. You are highly honored
by Me, yet despised and looked
down upon by men.
“And
to all of My ministers, I say,
yield to the fire that is
coming. Yes, I am pouring fire
on My People, they will be My
witnesses throughout the whole world.
Receive the fire, bask in the
fire, keep fanning the flames and
let your light shine that all
man may see the reflection of
My glory upon you.
“The
enemy will try to beset you
with discouragement to cause the
flames to go out, but you are
to persevere and continue to be
a reflection of My glory to the
whole world. Littleness is your
strength, littleness draws the hurting,
displaced and most needy ones to
you. They have long abandoned the
company of the rich and famous who
have looked down upon them, yet
are still searching for fellowship
among those who are in love
with Me and not themselves.
“This
ministry is essential to My Body
and many, many will be last,
even though they and their friends
considered themselves first. Do not
regard your littleness with scorn and
contempt, for it is through your
weakness that My Power is Perfected.
“All
of you, at the end of the
day, come into My arms where
your soul will find rest. I am
forever waiting for that moment when
I may impart some grace to you.
There is never a moment in the
day when I am not thinking of
you and looking forward to our
time together.

Ang
payo niya para hind TAYO mapasakamay ni satanas: bantayan ang ating
bibig, ang mata, huwag manood ng televion/videos or maglaro ng mga
games na demonic. Sapagkat nakapaglalagay si satanas ng mga bagay na
makaka pagpamanhid ng isip laban sa kasalanan [ anesthesize your
mind against sin]. Nagiging addicted ka tayo TV kaysa sa pagdarasal
sa Diyos.
Ang
pornography ay isa ding pagsilo ni Satanas sa mga babae at lalaki.
Katulad din ng alcohol, akala nila madaling pigilin ang sarili ngunit
nakadikit dito ang espiritu ng kadiliman. [watch the video with
English subtitles]
JOHN:
“In the name of Jesus, you can be free of the familiar sprit, from
any tormenting spirit, from any spirit that's calling your mind,
from any combination, any pornographic, any torture, any tormentors
that are sent your way, I break it in the name of JESUS right now. I
break every satanic attack over your life, your purpose, your
destiny, pornography, anything that is holding, suicide, oppression
depression, any form of evil spirit, I bind it right now. Be free in
mighty, unmatchable name of Jesus.
Sid
Roth: You will have no fear of the demonic when you know Jesus, when
you know who your Father is.
JOHN:
Thr enemy recognizes you as a child of God and the authority God has
given you.
John's
prayer against the spirit of infirmity and sickness:
Father,
in the name of Jesus right now, I bind this torment over the airways
in the name of Jesus. I bind the gatekeeper, I bind any
reinforcement, I paralyze every devil, every hell, every demon. I
paralyze every infirmity of sickness right now. Father, I separate
one from another, Father, I change their languages to confuse them. I
send civil war to the enemy's camp to let them destroy each other .
Loose the person right now. Loose the person in the name of JESUS. I
pray healing. I speak healing into your life right now. I speak
restoration. I speak restitution upon your life. I put the devil
under your feet and keep him there. Father, in Jesus name, I cage up
every demon. My God, in the name of Jesus, I put the blood of Jesus
in those demon box and let them to tormented, night and day, and I
close this prayer right now. Father, I come against retaliation, I
come against retribution, in the mighty name of Jesus.
"SUFFERING
MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY
COMES IN THE MORNING. WHAT YOU SUFFER NOW
ON EARTH WILL MOST CERTAINLY BRING
YOU GLORY IN HEAVEN. Although I
am well aware that is not your
motive. I know how you love Me,
Clare, and are willing to submit to
the trials I allow in your life.
They are to strengthen you, My Love,
so that you will not back away
from any adversity.
“They
are fires of purification to prove
your love for Me is pure,
fire-tried silver, gleaming and
glancing over the obstacles in your
path. How I wish for all
of You, My People, to persevere under
trial. I know you feel like
quitting sometimes, but for those of
you who do not, there is a
Victor's Crown awaiting you.
Yes,
discouragement can set in if you are
not very, very careful not to
receive the insinuations of the enemy,
‘See the way your
God is? Harsh, cruel, punishing -‐not
protecting. Back down from this path,
He will only make you suffer
more if you continue to serve
Him that way. Quit while you're
ahead.’ ‘No matter
how hard you try to please Him
you always do something wrong, and
He punishes you. It is your fault,
after all, that your dog died-you
still have faults and sin in
your life, so He punishes you.’
“The
enemy will taunt you with this
and worse if you let him. These
are his tools: Dejection and Condemnation.
But little does he see how
suffering purifies a soul and takes
from him his quarry. If the
devils really understood how many
souls are saved every time I
allow trials in the lives of My
Faithful ones, he would quickly cease
his operations over them.
“Nothing
works to his advantage, all turns
to merit in My hands. I know
how you are feeling, Clare, and I know
how weary you are, but breakthrough
is coming. I am with you, and
all you have to do is give
Me your consent and cling to Me
with all your heart, your mind
and your strength. I will do the
rest. I will accomplish it all, your
part is to hold onto Me and
never let Me go.
“I
WANT ALL OF MY HEART DWELLERS TO
RETREAT TO MY HEART WHEN THE
WORLD IS YET TOO HARSH. COME AND
BURY YOURSELF IN PRAYER AND
SUPPLICATION. LET ME ENFOLD YOU IN
THE BLANKET OF GRACE, MADE JUST
FOR YOU TO RESTORE YOUR HEARTS
AND MINDS. IN THIS PLACE I WILL
HEAL. IN THIS PLACE I WILL STRENGTHEN,
GIVE WISDOM, PERSEVERANCE AND MOST OF
ALL EXERCISE YOU IN LOVE AND
SACRIFICE UNTIL YOUR IMAGE REFLECTS ME
TO THE WORLD. COME AND DO NOT
ALLOW THE DEVILS TO WEARY YOU,
RETREAT INTO THIS SAFE SPACE WHERE
THERE IS HEALING AND REST.
“I
HOLD YOU TENDERLY THERE, MY LOVES.
I TEND TO YOUR WOUNDS AND
RESTORE YOUR SOUL.
“COME.”
This
is an excerpt, please listen to the video or read more at PDF
Well,
dear Family, today is kind of a
sad occasion for us. We lost
our beloved dog, Bruno. He was
very, very sick yesterday before he
passed this morning –that’s
kind of why I didn’t get
around to posting a message
yesterday.
The
Lord bless you, Family, and thanks
for your prayers, because I know
you have been praying for us –I
can feel it. We really appreciate
it.
When
I came into prayer...actually I was
having a hard time Getting
into prayer, I couldn’t get into
prayer at all last night, because
I could feel what was coming.
It’s funny, because I’d asked the
Lord about if he was going to
recover and I got “Joy” in
the Bible Promises. I thought, ‘Well,
that sounds good.’ I
realized that the Lord was talking
about the Rapture and that we would
see Bruno again. That was hard
–really hard. Anyway,
it’s been hard for me to get
into prayer. Getting quiet and calm
brings me closer to the pain.
Deep, deep pain. But after several
attempts and some 'nesting' behavior…
running around doing laundry and other
busy work, I was finally able to
enter into His rest.
Jesus
was there immediately, holding me and
resting my head over His heart.
I was waiting for a message for
you all, because I didn’t want
to disappoint you two days in a
row.
He
said, "I want to speak to
you about 'death.'
"THERE
IS A TIME AND A SEASON FOR
EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. DEATH OF
THE BODY DOES NOT SEPARATE YOU
FROM YOUR LOVED ONE. FOR IN THE
SPIRIT YOU ARE STILL VERY CONNECTED.
“My
Love, I want you to understand that
nothing you suffer is in vain.
There is an appointed time for
all creatures. This was his time
and now you need to let go.
I know your heart is bursting
in pain, but understand in the
economy of salvation there is much
merit in your suffering. There are
those who are benefiting from your
pain.
“Oh,
this is so overlooked by My People.
REALLY, MY PEOPLE, IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU DO THAT DOES NOT A HAVE
A PURPOSE? DO YOU REALLY
BELIEVE THAT SUFFERING IS IN VAIN?
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT I
WASTE EVEN ONE TEAR FROM YOUR
EYE? DOES THAT SOUND LIKE MY
CHARACTER?
“NO,
IT DOESN'T, BECAUSE IT IS NOT.
DOES NOT YOUR LIFE AND EVERYTHING
IN IT HAVE SIGNIFICANCE TO ME?
I TELL YOU IT DOES. I
AM NOT SOME STERILE GOD THAT
SAYS, "OK YOUR DOG IS DEAD,
GET OVER IT." OR "HER
DOG IS DEAD, SHE'LL SEE HIM
AGAIN THOUGH." AND LET IT GO
AT THAT.
“No,
I hurt with you and as you
offer that pain to Me, I turn
it into opportunities and movements
of grace to call others into My
Kingdom. Nothing is accomplished
without suffering and sacrifice. Nothing.
Consider Jim Elliot and his
companions (the book Gates of
Splendor).
“The
natives killed the men, and the
wives went back to those very
same people who killed their
husbands, and brought them the
Gospel. Five men died, and a
whole tribe came to Me and is
still to this day bearing fruit
even around the world. Do you
understand? I use the suffering of
others, be it sickness, death or
martyrdom. The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church, and
conversion follows on the heels of
it.
“When
I said take up your cross and
follow Me, did I say also, ‘OK,
you carried it, now lay it down
and keep going?’ No,
I expect you to follow Me even
unto death. Yes, this is a big
offering but nothing else will do.
A complete and total relinquishing of your
life is what I call you to,
Beloved.
“And
then, just as I abolished the barrier
between men and God, and wrought
salvation for all, you by your
sacrifice fuel the spreading of the
Gospel-‐even the bending of hardened
hearts that will not come to Me
until they are dying. Some souls
are very stubborn and hardened against
Me, but I hold out hope for
the end, those last moments when
perhaps they will see themselves as
I see them, and feel the love
that I have for themand repent.
“Although
not all are given this opportunity,
it is not something to be
presumed upon by anyone. There
are many that did not receive
this final opportunity because I had
visited them over and over again
and each time they pushed Me
away. They chose evil over good.
“What
I want to say is that much
has been accomplished by the sacrifice
of your dog. You all suffered, I
collected every tear and applied it
to the most wretched of souls to
bring them to their senses.

“Yet
as you can see he is in
Heaven with Me, barking, wagging his
tail and telling you you're coming
home soon. A little while after he
passed I'd close my eyes and he
would be plainly before me barking
his head off and wagging his tail and
talking to me, like he loves to
do.
Ezekiel
saw Bruno with a hammer in his
mouth, running up to Jesus, who was working
putting finishing touches on my
dwelling.
"Oh
Death, where is your sting?
“You
see and you know, you will be
together again soon. Bruno did
his job, and you are finishing
yours, because I am coming for
you. You will all be reunited, and
what a joyous occasion that will
be!
“I
know My Love, I know your heart
is heavy. This will pass. And I
have used this as a fast
offering of great magnitude. Even though
it didn't require your martyrdom, it
was a martyrdom of sorts, a
white martyrdom. Pick up your
cross and follow Me... right down
to the end.
