I, John,
heard the Lord say to me. "Write
to the angel of the Church in Smyrna
saying, "Here is the message
of the First and the Last, who was
dead and has come to life again."
Apocalypse
11:8
I am the message and the fulfilment,
the image and the reality. Through
My death I have brought life to
the children of men and through
My life I bring the children of
men to the Father. So all men may
have life in Me and become children
of the Father in time and eternity.
But all who hear My voice and respond
to My call in the Father's Name
must work in Me to turn from sin
and from all the demands of the
natural self which prevent their
advance in the way. My grace is
sufficient to enable and fortify
the going: no child of the Father
is too frail to receive My constant
and loving retrieval and renewal
in the way, however often he fails
and falls.
And when opposition and misunderstanding
are encountered from those who are
met in the way I will strengthen
the purpose and protect from all
harm and destruction. My love and
Our guiding will never depart from
the child of the Father who is faithful
in trusting and loving,
