Jesus instructed
His Disciples as follows "…..When
they hand you over, do not worry about
how to speak or what to say;
because the spirit of your Father
will be speaking in you"
Matthew
10:11-23
Our Holy Spirit entered the hearts
and minds of My beloved Apostles
after My death and resurrection
and they became bearers of the Father's
word, interpreting the Father's
love to all to whom We sent them.
Their absolute self-giving in their
service to the Father's world enabled
and empowered their ministry. But
they met opposition and hostility
just as I did . So do all My faithful
followers who witness to the truth.
All who earnestly desire the Father's
will and seek it with commitment
become the place of Our indwelling.
Through their consistent, faithful
lives Our loving purpose is fulfilled
in those things the Father wills.
And they become Our Presence in
the Father's world. Not that they
have already reached perfection,
but faults and failures become a
means of their advance as they are
offered to My saving love . And
they themselves bear witness to
My saving love and to the Father's
will and loving purpose through
their obedience and faithfulness.
