The Plight of Prophets, Seers and Visionaries
A Walk with the Truth
Thinking over the plight of people in the world, I found it difficult to choose between them because this world is so full of need. In prayer I asked Jesus to inspire me and I opened Message Book Two at Message number 547, where he spoke of "My two servants of Love" that is, the two Patricks.
"You see, My children, I have sent My two servants of Love to defend the Truth and this they will do. They shall become a great plague to the evil of this world. They cannot be stopped for My Hand rests upon them as well as My Mother's.."
When reading the Messages, reflections or writings it clearly comes across that the two Patricks are very human and have the same strugglers as ourselves, though, to a greater degree. The mission of any Prophet is of a great spiritual size. The spiritual part is one that is never seen because it is their sacrifice, their giving to the mission that they are on..
The mission is designed by Jesus to save many souls. Jesus has given the Patricks and all Prophets a great responsibility. He gives them His Words as drops of His precious Blood, and the Prophets are the protectors or guardians of that Word. Not only are they a great responsibility for Prophets but Jesus suffers to give them because, in many cases, He knows that they will not be listened to.
"My children, look at Me. I stager in Pain as I give these Words. I tear pieces of My own Flesh, for that is wheat these Words are." And, "..please listen to My Words for they are little droplets of My Blood and taken from the very depths of My Heart and given to you from all of My Love..."
Jesus describes in these extracts whet His words actually are.
When the Patricks speak at meetings, can you imagine the influence from the other side they they have to cut through so that Jesus' Words and love can reach into hearts? They are like shields deflecting the flaming arrows of the evil one so that the Message that they give remains pure and unsullied by their own failings. And of course, maybe they do reach the hearts but how long do those hearts burn in love for Jesus before the evil one comes along and robs those sacred seeds, those potential gardens of Heaven?
Recently, I read a piece of writing that describes how they feel. I put it here to show that Prophets lot is not just an airy-fairly world of privileged floating around. One of the Patricks was working on the Messages of Jesus, to put them in a presentable way so that they could be better understood as to what Jesus wanted. Many doubts flooded in to try to stop the work because the evil one does not wish us to understand what Jesus is saying. He was allowed to see visions of people actually going against the Words of Jesus and, because he is closely linked to Jesus through the Messages, was allowed to feel a small part of what Jesus feels. This left him in a great moral dilemma as to whether he should finish the work because it would hurt Jesus more by actually giving something to go against Him with.
As I sit here at the computer fixing up the Messages, my heart is torn. I read the beautiful Words that Jesus has given to us all and I feel the pull that they are not being listened to.
I fear to hurt Jesus by making up this book because I fear that the most of what is written here will be ignored. I can feel many feelings as I sit here and I can see many people breaking or changing these Words. I could go on about how self can change things to suit itself but, how much can be written on the one subject?
I am again in a moral dilemma. Should I leave the book as it is, for it seems to make little difference what I do with it. I am again the farmer who goes out to sow his crop. I am full of hope that it will grow and produce abundant fruit for the Master that I serve. I watch as it begins to burst through the rough soil that I have planted it in. I watch as the leaves begin to sprout and burst forth into the sunlight. I nurture and water the seedlings. I hold them in my hands, caressing them, hoping, that this crop will live to see the harvest.
The blight of self always strikes the hope that I have filled myself with. It strikes at my heart. I have been here before and I have faced the sodden, blighted crop that does not wave, golden, in a gentle breeze. My being cries out to me that it is useless and I feel the pain of knowing that it is true. But still I have hope. It clings to me like mud on the shoe, like sin on the soul. My hope is like a vine that binds around me.
What must I do? If I do what I set out to do, will it be a lie? Will it be in vain?
Many who read this will say, here he goes again, but I say to those people to come here and do what I am doing and feel these feelings that shout at me that I am hurting Jesus by not fixing up a book so that it can be ignored. I am writing these words because what is inside me is tearing me apart and everything is telling me not to do it, not to heap more on Jesus. I do what I do simply because I love Jesus and I hope that these words will make a difference to how people serve Jesus. There is pain in me as I write because I am torn between allowing people to simply do what they want and making Jesus 'Words clear. I am writing this in he hope that the taunting that is within me will stop and I can cling to my hope in Him.
Every word that I read in this book screams at me that it is a lie and will not be listened to. I am fighting every moment to survive this and this is my way to speak the Truth. And in this struggle, I am distanced because no one else can do it but me. I feel alone and separated.
Along with the responsibility of the Words, which, if taken on, will established Gods Kingdom on earth in little oases' or pockets of Light that Jesus needs more and more. Prophets realise this plight of Jesus, they know and understand His movements and how important it is to meet Jesus' requests, even when they don't understand. And this they must convey to Jesus' followers. they must fulfil His Words and carry them to the people. A hard task indeed, especially when confronted with all sorts of opposition, spurred by the evil one.
Ezek 2:6-7 "And you, son of man do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious."
Jesus' Words aren't often pleasing to the ear because they make us feel guilty as they point out that we are not doing enough; they speak the Truth of our complacency and selfishness. And this is the Message the prophets must carry to the people.
Just as Jesus was hated by the Scribes and Pharisees, so the Prophets are hated, and indeed all true followers of Jesus.
It is a hard task and it must be so tempting to please the people and to contaminate the Message, as some of our priests do today, to gain popularity and even wealth.
All these temptations, the Prophets must fight for they will be sorely tested as gold in the fire. They can't afford to be swayed or even affected by the opposition for they are entrusted with and responsible for many souls.
We need to pray and support Jesus'' Prophets, seers and Visionaries. They need our love and help to make Jesus' Words live in and light up this dark world.
John 13:20: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
Jesus' Prophets despise popularity and do not want a big fuss made over them. They are usually very humble and do not like being in the position Jesus has raised them to. Jesus seems to choose mere children to use to convey His Message and all they require is that Jesus' Words are taken on and lived. This is their wages, if wages are to be had. This is how we support our Prophets - by doing what Jesus asks in His Words.
The following extract conveys what Jesus is doing through His Prophets, Seers and Visionaries. Let us stop criticising them and look instead at our own black hearts, our own white-washed walls and let Jesus do His work through His Prophets. Let us stop ourselves being used by the evil one to destroy Jesus' Plans.
"My Prophets, through My Words, are building an Ark. This Ark of Words is My Covenant with this world and without it there is no redemption, for there have been many Warnings and Words that give Life, but many have chosen death by their own hearts. They only follow the ways of this world."
