Duty And Honor

Date: Sunday, January 8, 2006

Message:  Duty And Honor

Lord, while in sleep this early morning you wrote two words on the wall - "Duty And Honor."  Then you spoke, "I have written these words on your heart for all eternity. When you awake, you will remember all that I have shown you."

Duty

"So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only our duty, that which we ought to have done.’”  Luke 17:10  

Honor 

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone."   1 Chronicles 29:11-12

 

Soon: The Coming Chastisement

Message:  Soon:  The Coming Chastisement

Lord, it's early morning. In a vision you warned of a soon "Coming Chastisement" if people do not stop the noise, turn from the sin in their lives and call upon you.  God, You have unleashed a worldwide chastisement where great waves exceed the boundaries of the oceans.  Simultaneously, earthquakes everywhere, clouds, thunder and lightning. Then the Blessed Mother spoke, "Pray the Rosary. Calm be upon your house. You will not see the darkness. You will see with clarity, Blue and White."

The Way of God: Something from Nothing and Cosmos from Chaos

 

Date: Saturday, June 6, 2015

Message:  The Way of God: Something from Nothing and Cosmos from Chaos

Lord, you spoke today - "The way of God is to create something from nothing."  Jesus, you left everything in heaven and became nothing, a tiny homeless baby laying in a manger.  Jesus, you recreated us from nothing, your humble beginnings and then out of the chaos of our sin made of us something. Lord, you ask us to empty ourselves,  dump our pride and possessions, to become nothing so that God, you can fill us with everything.

Brother Joseph +

“Have this attitude among yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped at, but rather emptied Himself by taking the form of a slave and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11

"I Am God Your Father"

Date: Wednesday, November 9, 2005

Time: 6am

Message: "I Am God Your Father"

Lord God, before awakening, you granted a vision and through it said, "I Am God your Father."  I saw the face of one like God, King of heaven and earth. His face, worn and full of wisdom. His gaze, piercing thoughts through steel blue eyes . God the Father's understanding, reflected in flowing white hair and beard. Robed in a garment white as snow and a blue tunic flooded with
the depths of the sea.

God: "I Am the Hound of Heaven."

 

Date: Friday, October 14, 2005

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.
