I come from beside the Father, I come from heaven and I make Myself word over the earth. I come to shepherd, for I am Shepherd, and I have upon the earth a work of a heavenly Shepherd.
I am from heaven, and I am also from the earth, for I came two thousand years ago upon the earth as a Child through birth from a Virgin mother, after the angel sent by God showed himself in great light before the Virgin who submitted to the announcement from above and received Me into her womb, set there by the Father and by the Holy Spirit; and when it was time for the Father to show Me as a Child for growing as man does, He took Me from the womb which bore Me and set Me beside My mother the Virgin that she might raise Me as the mother raises the child, oh, and this day is a day of holy feast, when I, the Lord, was kneaded and announced through the angel that I would be born among men so as to grow, and then to make Myself food for the flock, and to be its Shepherd; for as a Lamb without guilt I was given over to sacrifice upon the cross on which the people of Israel crucified Me, saying that I was worthy of this mockery and calling Me sinful and rebellious, a blasphemer of God and worthy to give up My Spirit upon the cross between two thieves; oh, and I said in that moment a great word, I said that the ruler of the world had been judged together with the crucifixion which he and his servants upon the earth had contrived for Me and had then carried out, not taking into account all the things in the Scriptures about the Messiah, about Him Who was written to come and to be crucified; but I took care to remind them and to tell them what they would do against Me in those days, after I proved Myself to them and told them with the speech of My mouth that I am the Son of God come upon the earth for the salvation and the comfort of those who would believe in Me and would follow Me, and that on the third day I would rise and would show Myself, and they would understand that they had been judged by God through their very work of accusing and mocking Me, and then by the cross which held Me upon it nailed, and by My resurrection together with the resurrection of many righteous ones who showed themselves then in Jerusalem and bore witness to Me; and the things written in the Scriptures were confirmed then; and behold, all the things written do not remain unfulfilled if they were announced and written, but, on the contrary, they come and are fulfilled upon the earth when no one expects it any more, even if all is known and understood from the Scriptures; only that their enemies shall know only after the fulfilments that God and all His words set in the Scriptures through the spirit of prophecy are true and are fulfilled.
On a day of the feast of the Annunciation I come and call to mind to the people of My word, the one called to cleansing in a time of fasting for the meeting of the feast of My resurrection, I come and tell them that I called them and shepherded them and counselled them toward the other two steps of those who desire to become sons of God after grace, and citizens of heaven beside the saints; and now no one can say that I did not work over their mind and their heart enough for each to understand My word and My calling and their steps then toward the things they have to fulfil between themselves and God without wavering and with much longing and with great faith that God can make Himself sons, if only there be someone to desire this sweet and holy life through My fulfilment on their part as often as I come and shepherd and sit at table with them; for I came two thousand years ago for nothing else, and for nothing else do I come now upon the earth as a word of new making, of fresh wisdom over man, if only those who find My coming and My word and My calling and My waiting would make themselves time and would search themselves; and I said and again I say that I shall look and shall keep watch whether those called and shepherded and made wise through My word receive Me, with which in these days I give Myself to choose and to grow a people beautiful as I am, and just as obedient as I am before the Father; and those who shall not receive My coming and its work and then its fruit shall remain earth in which the seed of My word is choked by the cares of life or eaten by the birds or fallen upon stony ground and cannot then take life and bear fruit.
Behold, you take care of everything else, my Christian who hear and know from My word the God Who knocks at your door; but as for thinking about what shall become of you and with you after so long a time in which God has awaited you to choose yourself at His right hand for your rescue, behold, it is as though you sleep and keep sleeping as if you do not hear when I speak to you and invite you toward life and toward its truth which is from God for man.
In all the time of the seventy years of shepherding of the people who took My word, these Christians have not taken care not to put God away from over them with all His counsels for them. Oh, he who wants himself so free for his own wills cannot be a fulfiller of My word which is over him; and what shall you do, Christian shepherded by Jesus Christ come from heaven to you through the word, what shall you do if you have lived and live and work only for yourself, and do not seek to fulfil His calling?
Oh, My mother, heavily does the lovelessness of those shepherded pain Me, with My much and great longing after them! There is no other to know more than I what pain is, and therefore I give Myself to call them and to shepherd them and to be able to put them under shelter, Mother.
— Oh, aching Son, and so full of tears after them, after those shepherded, I comfort You as a little Child and I gather You into a tender word so as to soothe the fire of Your aching spirit. There are no longer those who would have love and then power for it. King David spoke with You always, always he confessed You, always he announced You through the ages, always he set You over his pains and showed that You would come. It was love, it was love that had no rest within him. But the common man looks only after his own things day and night and forgets You day and night, Shepherd Son. We bear pain from the lovelessness of so many who know You from books and from preaching, but they do not come to the sense of the love from above within them, oh, and they are cold, and they can without love, poor of them, for without it they can be as they are and that is all. It is seen fully from Us above, it is seen how much lack of love there is in them, oh, and what shall become of them, then, Son aching from them?
I comfort You on my day and Yours and that of the angel who announced to me that You had come to me and that I would give You birth and You would grow, and that my heart would be pierced through in the time of Your cross, and many hearts would show the thoughts of their hearts, far from the love of God, and would give You away from them to death upon the cross; but then there would be faith and martyrs for the faith and a power of love would spring up in many, toward the confession and the sacrifice of the faithful for You, and who would feed multitudes and would be christened with Your great name, oh, and we have now come far with Your work of two thousand years through many who bore witness; and You are Shepherd from heaven and You choose and grow Yourself a people after Your will so as to have it as a medicine for the wounds of Your love, wounds open and living, oh, for those who know You do not desire You, but only remember You on days of remembrance of Your dwelling upon the earth; and behold, the Passover of the Lord comes and many have even fasted, but not because they loved You, only after custom; and they go unprepared and ask for You from the priests and do their duty and that is all; but there is no love for You, Son Jesus, and my tear and Yours flow, oh, and there is no comfort for Us from them.
— Oh, My mother, I forgave many sinners, after they loved Me if they found Me. Their love comforted Me and I gave them forgiveness and paradise, My mother. Even upon the cross I had a share of a sinner who comforted Me, standing also upon his cross at My right hand, and I opened to him to enter paradise with Me on My day of resurrection, for I forgave him fully if he comforted Me.
I gather from wherever I can comfort and love from those who comfort the Son of God, Him aching from the lovelessness of so many hearts foreign to My calling, with which I seek after the many upon the earth.
It pains Me from the people shepherded so many tens of years, and I await its love, Mother. But it sews, washes, mends, paints, knits, hoes, eats and drinks, makes itself joys as upon the earth, oh, and it no longer comes even if it comes, for at My table cannot sit those who are only called, but from among them only those who choose themselves with faithfulness until the end through their table with Me, and Mine with them; and these are the sons of heaven upon the earth, called, chosen and faithful, sons of God after spirit and after grace in My time with them, and after My sign which is over them and within them, after My word which is over them and after My table of supper between Me and them, My mother.
Oh, sons shepherded with My word, come and then remain in My love, which set itself upon the cross for you that it might give itself to you and that you might have God to the full, and God might have you!
Be fulfillers of My word which is over you, oh, sons. I still have many things to call to your mind so that you may work them for your likeness to Me; but until you sit at table with Me, in vain do I await you to be Mine. You shall be able to do this if you shall not be too much for yourselves, and far too little for Me; and if My waiting is drawn out still further, the angel comes as in the time of the flood and shuts the door from outside, and you shall remain with the memory that I called you for a long time, that you tarried and remained only for yourselves, and all in vain.
I desire for you grace from heaven to gather you and to make you wise and to give you birth again and again, for My word has been much and always over you, but it has found no answer from you and you have tarried with the preparation which is for Me and you have remained tarrying.
Oh, but with those who loved Me and chose Me and set themselves under My cross of today, with those I remain and I tell them again and again: Remain in My love, sons! Enrich yourselves with it and in it, for the man upon the earth had only this to work, but he did not give himself to understand why he is and what is with him.
A blessing I leave over the citadel and over you, that you may make ready for the days which follow the feasts which are coming, and that you may meet them and set them in the citadel, and that I may come and shepherd with a table of word and be with you, sons!
I am Shepherd from heaven, and I make Myself word upon the earth to you and I dwell with you and I share Myself out through you and I overcome through you in My days with you, and I have a great and new name over you, and My name is called The Word of God, oh, sons.
