God: "I Am the Hound of Heaven."

Message: "I Am the Hound of Heaven."

Today, I decided to begin journaling, Much has happened since a thirty-minute near-death experience just a few weeks ago, September 26, 2005.

Today the Lord spoke. He revealed more about Himself than what He communicated a few weeks ago. The Lord said, "I Am the Hound of Heaven."  In hindsight, I completely understand. He was definitely in hot pursuit when I was a a child, a teenager and now as an adult.  Yes, Lord, you are the "Hound of Heaven!"  Your constant call is grace. Your persistent quest, unyielding. Suffering, a gift so that I might gain the pearl of great prize.  Your hunt, a gift, that when answered, ends in eternal life.

Coincidentally, God has also been known as "The Hound of Heaven" in historical English literature since the late 1800s.  English poet Francis Thompson authored 182-line poem that famously describes the call of God on human lives in a very poetic but down-to-earth  realistic way.  ”The Hound of Heaven” was first published in Thompson's first volume of poems in 1893. Later, it was also  included in the Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse.

Jesus Speaks at Christmastime: "I Am born in you."

Date: Christmastime, Friday, December 23, 2005

Message:  "I Am born in you."

Jesus: "The Apostle spoke saying, 'Christ in you is the hope of glory.' Through Christmas, I Am born in you. I can do what the law fails to do. The Prophet spoke of the first Christmas saying,  'I will place my law within your hearts; I will be your God and you will be my people.' (Jeremiah 31:36) 

"At this Christmas time, be aware that I Am.  I Am Jesus incarnate in you as I Am in Mary.  I am constantly being born in the world today through each and every one who calls upon me and is baptized in My name."

Jesus spoke a similar message to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to Israel. `I AM has sent me to you,' God said to Moses." Exodus 3:14

God the Father desires a daily, minute-by-minute conversation with each of His children.

Message: God the Father desires a minute-by-minute conversation with each of His children.

In in the Manger and in the Eucharist God establishes inside us, His children a daily dialog, a communion and a daily relationship. The Lord spoke this message to the Church, saying, “'Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth' is an angelic invitation and a prayer for all the Lord's children to have a daily, minute-by-minute conversation with God the Father."

Seek The Lord While He May Be Found!

Day: Seek The Lord While He May Be Found!

Thus said the Lord, "There will come a day on the earth when people, because of hardness of heart will no longer hear the voice of the Lord. He will no longer be found. It is at this time that “hell" has begun and in that hell is the absence of God.  Hell begins when the people on earth can no longer hear or even wish to respond to the loving and forgiving voice of the Lord.  "Purgatory" on the other hand is a place of refinement for those who hear God's voice and wish to respond to it.  "Heaven" is both a place and a state of mind, having an on-going communion and a conversation with the Lord. An instantaneous and full cooperation with the will of God."

In these last days, the Lord calls each to turn from sin, excess and greed and “Seek the Lord while he may be found. Call to Him while He is still near!” (Isaiah 55:6)
