JOURNEY TO THE HEART

 Journey to the Heart

January 2, 2021

Dear Children of My Immaculate Heart, the journey of the Magi to find Jesus is akin to the journey from your own head to your heart, where Jesus desires to reside.

The wise men had to journey a great distance over desert sands. In their journey they encountered many difficulties. The journey in your mind towards Jesus is fraught with many difficulties as well.

They encountered the elements, and physical dangers. In your mind, you encounter your own emotions, that are manipulated by external things and so create dangers for you that appear worse than they are.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, the star disappeared temporarily to test them and their resolve. Not knowing where to look, when the star disappeared, the wise men went to the palace of Herod, expecting to find the baby king there. You too, rely on your own understanding when seeking Jesus. 

They were deceived by Herod, and saw the indifference of the temple leaders. The Father allowed this deception, because it showed them the way to their destination. So, too in your lives, the Father allows certain trials and deceptions, which also will help guide you to your ultimate destination.

The deception of Herod was not revealed to the wise men, until they had found Jesus. The same occurs in your life from time to time. Deceptions that draw you in, even though you desire to know Jesus more intimately, will in the end be used to God’s Glory.

I saw in a quick vision, when Mary placed the baby Jesus into the hands of one of the wise men. As he held Jesus in his arms close to him, Jesus reached up and gently grabbed his beard in his chubby little fingers. As the wise man looked at Jesus with love, Jesus look at him penetrated to his soul, and he was touched greatly.

Jesus touched these men and their entourage in a way that they would never be the same again. So, too Jesus has touched your hearts in such a way that you can never live as you lived at one time, without Him. Your hearts burn for love of Him.

When the deception of Herod was revealed to them, this opened their eyes further to the wonders of God, that He can use even evil minded people to achieve His purposes.

My children, do not be deceived by the evil that surrounds you, both spiritual and in the world. For your growth, it has been allowed to serve God’s purposes. But now, you must work diligently against the deceptions so better to serve your Lord in these days of great trials.

A number of days ago, I had seen another vision. In this vision, I saw the “army” of the Lord. As part of the final training before entering into battle for the souls of those the Lord desired to reach, I saw them gathered on the edge of the desert. They were all wearing the armor of Ephesians 6, and had a white cape on them. 

A particular group was either wearing their helmets on their heads, or holding them in the crook of their elbow. The thing that stood out was that they were all gathered close to each other and were constantly surveying the area around them, on the lookout for enemies and dangers.

But, a larger contingent of this army had moved out into the desert, and each individually was digging a shallow trench using his helmet as a shovel, and was burying his head in the sand. I understood that these members of the army would not be fit for the battle ahead.

My children, open the eyes of your heart to see the Glory of the Lord.

I immediately saw the eyes of many opened more fully and filled with bright and godly images.
