Be Patient
January 25, 2022
The Lord came to me in different ways, at different times today. In prayer this morning, He gave me first the scripture verses from Isaiah, and part of the vision sequence. Later in the morning He gave me the rest of the vision.
In the afternoon, He gave me an old Advent song by John Foley SJ, Patience, People, which tied into the overall message. It took me some time to find the lyrics, and to see if it was from Him, or my imagination.
After I reviewed the lyrics, I realized my imagination was not involved, which was confirmed by the actual brief message He gave me finally.
Scripture
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Vision of the crosses
I saw the Lord on the way to Calvary carrying His Cross. It was extremely heavy and very dark. This is a vision for a purpose, so the Lord’s Cross was disproportionately larger than His actual Cross. I saw followers of Him coming after Him, carrying a very small, maybe 5 inch, white cross on their shoulders.
The Cross Jesus was carrying had the weight of all our sins on it, and the weight was almost crushing Him.
Our crosses were small, because they are the weight of our other difficulties and challenges, minus our sins repented of, because He carried them.
The whiteness of our crosses symbolized repentance and forgiveness, and joy in carrying a small part of the Cross of Christ.
Along the road were many larger dark crosses that had been discarded. They were dark and larger, because those carrying them had not repented of their sins, so they could be transferred to Jesus. They just abandoned them along the Way. He did carry their sins, but because they have not repented of them, they carry them still also.
Later, in both my own time, and in the timing of the vision, I saw many rushing to pick up their discarded crosses, and because they had repented of their sins, their crosses had turned to white.
What was kind of amazing was that though there were so many crosses strewn along the Way of the Cross, each person who had dropped a dark cross, knew which white cross was their own.
Message from Jesus
My Children, you have waited for My Return, praying, begging Me to come NOW. Be patient a while longer, for the Father’s timing is perfect. It will not be a moment too soon, nor a moment too late.
You have seen the Holy Spirit being poured out upon yourselves, and upon others. This watering of the seeds must first occur, so they can grow to the strength necessary for the winds and disasters to come.
If I come too soon, you will not be ready. If I delay, you will become discouraged. If you think I am delaying, it is your impatience surfacing. Notice this, and repent, trusting in Me to come at the appointed hour.
Your Blessed Mother has been among you, lifting you up as a mother does to her children who are distressed. She has been pouring out her mother’s love upon you, and bringing her heavenly spouse, the Holy Spirit to each of you according to your individual needs.
Rest secure beneath her mantle, no matter what storms come against you.
Patience, People - John B. Foley SJ - 1977 OCP
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
See the farmer await the yield of the soil.
He watches it in winter and in spring rain.
Patience, people, for the Lord is coming.
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
You have seen the purpose of the Lord.
You know of His compassion and His mercy.
Patience, people, for the Lord is coming.
Patience, people, till the Lord is come.
Steady your hearts, for the Lord is close at hand.
And do not grumble, one against the other.
Patience, people, for the Lord is coming.
