Jul 20_99 The Power of Prayer.

 

 

Message from God the Father to J.V.

 

God the Father speaks,
My Children, today I would like to once again remind you of the power of Prayer.
You move about in a physical world, tangible, material. An unreal world filled with error brought about by evil that has been unleashed at all levels. You trust only all that which you can touch, feel, and experience through your body. You are aware of the negative powers that man has created to destroy one another; you have weapons that can destroy the world in minutes. All that wisdom and knowledge that could have been used for humanity’s well being was placed in the hands of My adversary, with him as counsel and thus he shall warrant your own destruction.

What a paradox My children! I give you the capacities and intelligence to create good. I give you My Laws of Love and a world to suffice your needs so you could live as brothers in peace and charity. And, instead of seeking love and joy by living in My Heart and following My Precepts, you prefer your own destruction, your daily wretchedness, a life filled with insecurity and mistrust often including those around you.
        
Such ambiguity! You ask Me for goodness and help and yet you breed evil and contempt against Me and against your brethren. You have lost communication with Me and only seek it in times of need.

Prayer, which is a divine communication of the soul with thy God, has been forgotten; you have limited its use to that of a monologue demanding a petition. You use it only in urgent circumstances or when in dire need, but as soon as you obtain My help you forget to make use of prayer, at least to give Me thanks for the favor received in that time of need.
In your material world you have grown accustomed to observing the power of Nature, destructive powers at times comparable to those that man with the use of his weapons can unleash. You are amazed by and tremble at the thought that a “powerful” country might use their weaponry against a “powerful” adversary or another country. You fear that destructive power which is a reality. The leading countries that wield this powerful armament benchmark against their opponents, they compete against each other to gauge who can produce the most destructive weapon, so they may subjugate all humanity and gain “respect” through fear.

My children, there is so much evil in your hearts and in your minds. I, thy Almighty God, Creator of ALL that exists, I, Whose Powers are immensely superior to the most fearsome and deadliest of weapons, I, Who in spite of My Almightiness and Power, humbly and selflessly made Myself known; I never boasted of My Strength nor Absolute Power, nor used it to subjugate you.  The Pharisees believed the Messiah show Himself so, yet I presented Myself small and humble without any desire to overthrow the powerful. Do you know why? For it is in docility, humility and meekness that one’s true strength is found; For it is in the meek and the grateful, and in those who are like children who trust in their Father, in whom the Life of the Father and Life of God can be revealed. Those who live to please Him, those who live to fulfill His Will; it is in them that My Power is revealed. When you learn to transcend from your humanity into your spirituality then you shall learn to live in the real World, the World of Love in which all My Power is revealed. It is the meek, humble and giving souls that can realize immense favors for all. How many times have I not made known to you all the Graces that a meek and humble soul has attained for you. A meek soul, through prayer, can obtain all that he desires from Me. The power of prayer coming from a pure soul, a willing soul whose will is for My Will to be shed upon him, can live in union with Me. He knows Me and knows My needs. He lives only to please Me and intercedes on behalf of all to obtain innumerable Graces and Blessings, to obtain peace for the world and salvation of all souls. A praying soul is a soul that lives in union with My Love. A praying soul lives to exalt Me, redeeming souls by living united with the Merits of My Son. A praying soul looks out for My needs above all and through him I make Myself known, physically and spiritually, through the many manifestations of My Power that I carry out through them. A praying soul is a lightning rod placed between heaven and earth. Through this supreme offering he can detain My Just Justice and instead obtain many Graces, so much so that he becomes another Christ living among you. A praying soul is a gift that I, thy God, give to you My children from time to time as proof of My Mercy and to fill you with blessings.

In this manner you can quickly assimilate what prayer can do in the hands of a chosen soul. You all have the capability of becoming praying souls and if all were to join together for even a few minutes, you would be able to destroy the evil that surrounds you, the evil that is subjugating you, the evil that does not allow you to live in peace and love as how you were created in My Mind since the Beginning of Time.  

The remedy is in your hands, in your will. If you choose to be Mine you can count on My Almighty Power, infinitely superior to human strength and to evil however, should you choose evil, its limited power shall continue to subjugate you and lead you on a path of self-destruction, spiritual and physical destruction.

Open the eyes of your soul My children! Do not only see your carnal conveniences, you are spirit and life, because I AM Spirit and Life, and this is your inheritance, the Kingdom of Heaven. Your soul is what will transcend, that which will have eternal life, or death, spiritual life or death. Your body is mere packaging, limited, that will return to dust from which it came. You must avidly seek where and how your existence on Earth will end.

Your existence on Earth is but a moment in time for your soul, which living in Eternity, enters into a part of time created by Me for your redemption, and upon your return to Me, will reenter into the Eternity of souls. That insignificant amount of time which you now see as years, months, or days of your existence on earth, a time during which to complete a mission, which if completed successfully, will warrant for you a future in Eternity even more glorious than before you offered to descend on earth and give yourself in service to Me for the salvation of your brethren.

Much like My Son Jesus Christ who entered into time to leave you My Teachings, of which the primary teaching was the giving of His Life COMPLETELY as continuous prayer for the salvation of all souls, past, present, and future. He showed you how prayer becomes an intimate union when all your moments are shared with Me: all His moments, all His Joy and achievements were dedicated to Me. All the suffering, sorrow, and worry He experienced for your salvation were intimately communicated to Me and as part of My need to obtain for all true Life. Even His passion and death were filled with Life for you. His prayer was Life, intercession, apology on your behalf and for all times.

This is what you need to learn from My Son, to make a life of prayer during your time on earth. Live united with Him so that He may live in you and obtain all through you. Learn through the humility in which He lived.  Learn through His offering of Himself made for each and everyone, and which even today he continues to do so through those who allow Him to live in their hearts.

Live a life of prayer so that I may live in you and you in I, and so you may take from Me all that you would like to offer to your brethren for them to reach eternal salvation.

My children, you hold within your heart a weapon much more powerful than all the deadly and destructive weapons created on earth. You have Me, you have the power of LOVE and as I have previously mentioned, the power of love is what moves the WHOLE UNIVERSE, and just as the universe is unlimited, so is the power of prayer in love. Make use of it My children, live in it for the sake of your brethren and you shall be able to move those hearts hardened by evil and change the face of the earth.

My Love can only bring Peace and Goodwill, Life and Harmony to all people. Do you not prefer this to the unrest, destruction and constant fear you live in now?
 
Deepen your prayer and you shall find My Kingdom within you, a Kingdom that you can not even imagine and which truly exists within you.

Start, try, ask My Daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, to guide you and help you reach the depth of prayer and you shall find Me within you. Take the first step and I shall show you the way of Love; a beautiful and infinite path that you shall enjoy and thank Me for, and all this you shall obtain thanks to the power of Prayer.

I bless you in My Holy Name, in the name of My Son, Savior and Redeemer of the World, and in the Infinite Love of My Holy Spirit.
