MESSAGE TO CAROL AMECHE- APRIL 14, 2002

 4-14-02, External locution @ Ameche prayer gathering through Carol

 "I am your God and Father. This day, My dear ones, I come to you with the graces and the strength for which you ask. Forbearance, My dear ones, is a gift, like all gifts needed by human nature because of the selfishness of human nature and the impatience that batters the peace trying to survive within each of Our children in the world in spite of chaos, in spite of the fact that My Will reigns instead of your own. This alone can cause chaos at one time and another, as a realization sinks more deeply into your awareness that My Will springs from My Divine Love for you, My care, My desire that you would become all I have created you to be. Really understanding them (His desires) requires more acceptance, requires more surrender on your part, more docility, humility.

 Obedience to My Will means many things, and can only be discovered personally in deep reflection with that openness given you by Our Spirit for which you also pray. Each step contains many steps on this journey into My Will, My children. You can understand this statement now, being more familiar with these steps, with the continued dying to self you must experience, that you might become a new creation.

 My children, imagine taking a group, a very varied group, from all walks of life, from every level of education, different cultures, different ways of seeing and living; and turning them into a fighting unit, a group of warriors obedient to their commander: the same commander for all these different people throughout the entire world. And you will begin to appreciate the time it is taking, My dear ones, from a new vantage, from a new look at humanity, all the while Satan wars constantly within and around this varied group. My children, you are becoming these warriors; you are becoming this united fighting unit.

 As you accept and as you give in to all I desire and request of you through the Holy Mother, through My Son, through My own words, through Our Spirit; and through gift only accept it in all of these ways with all of these steps; so each step is slow and must exist within a framework that is the same though adapted to each different person. I outline these steps today, My children, to give you a greater appreciation of My job, of My action within your lives; and when you hear the words "it's not just about you" My children, perhaps you can see that in a greater way: the larger picture from this new understanding.

 Understanding expands your hearts and your minds and your ability to accept and to grow and to become an even mightier warrior! Appreciate that in this way I am also sharing My power with you, as I allow you to become more: a more pliant instrument, pliable in My hands, one to be used uniquely by Me because each of you is unique! There is much to this journey, My children.

Much of it you will never comprehend until you look back from Eternity and the vantage of Paradise. In the meantime, I desire to bring you as closely and intimately into My plans as possible, that you might be united with Me in purpose, in the desire of your own heart and will. This will make you desire to surrender more to whatever it takes to touch, to change, to save as many in the world as possible. There is a universe to consider, My children. Think about that!

 I love you, My dear, dear precious children. I am so grateful for you, for all you do, for the love in your heart for Me. Do not become discouraged for one moment, for your struggles are My Will also. I bless you, My dear ones, My own, My warriors, My beloved. Amen." Carol Ameche
