Come back to me with all your heart

Notes of meeting on 6 May 2014

Picture of a tunnel of fast flowing sludge and filth.

In it with no control was a man being carried to what looked like a fire of hissing smoke.

A hand came down and lifted him out.

This person realised that he had no right to be saved but was so very gratefully humble that he kissed the hand continually. He realised that the life he had lived deserved nothing less than death but God saved him, even from himself,by the great sacrifice of Jesus.

Jesus says "I will retrieve mine from the unholy one. I love every sinner. Turn to me. Your name is written on the palm of my hand, my hand which will hold you fast, my hand which will save. Come to me let me cleanse you with the healing waters of my Sacred Heart. For here in my Heart is a Fount of Mercy for you my Beloved. Be not parted from me. Come unify yourself to me your Jesus."

Luke 23 v 33

33 When they reached the place called The Skull, there they crucified him and the two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left.

Jeremiah 31 v 1 - 14

1 When that time comes, Yahweh declares, I shall be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people. 2 Yahweh says this: They have found pardon in the desert, those who have survived the sword. Israel is marching to his rest. 3 Yahweh has appeared to me from afar; I have loved you with an everlasting love and so I still maintain my faithful love for you. 4 I shall build you once more, yes, you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Israel! Once more in your best attire, and with your tambourines, you will go out dancing gaily. 5 Once more you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria (those who plant will themselves enjoy the fruit). 6 Yes, a day will come when the watchmen shout on the mountains of Ephraim, 'Up! Let us go up to Zion, to Yahweh our God!' 7 For Yahweh says this: Shout with joy for Jacob! Hail the chief of nations! Proclaim! Praise! Shout, 'Yahweh has saved his people, the remnant of Israel!' 8 Watch, I shall bring them back from the land of the north and gather them in from the far ends of the earth. With them, the blind and the lame, women with child, women in labour, all together: a mighty throng will return here! 9 In tears they will return, in prayer I shall lead them. I shall guide them to streams of water, by a smooth path where they will not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born son. 10 Listen, nations, to the word of Yahweh. On the farthest coasts and islands proclaim it, say, 'He who scattered Israel is gathering him, will guard him as a shepherd guarding his flock.' 11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, rescued him from a hand stronger than his own. 12 They will come, shouting for joy on the heights of Zion, thronging towards Yahweh's lavish gifts, for wheat, new wine and oil, sheep and cattle; they will be like a well-watered garden, they will sorrow no more. 13 The young girl will then take pleasure in the dance, and young men and old alike; I shall change their mourning into gladness, comfort them, give them joy after their troubles; 14 I shall refresh my priests with rich food, and my people will gorge themselves on my lavish gifts, Yahweh declares.

Acts 2 v 17-21

17 In the last days -- the Lord declares -- I shall pour out my Spirit on all humanity. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young people shall see visions, your old people dream dreams. 18 Even on the slaves, men and women, shall I pour out my Spirit. 19 I will show portents in the sky above and signs on the earth below. 20 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the day of the Lord comes, that great and terrible Day. 21 And all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Come back to me with all your heart

Jeremiah 30 v 8-11

8 (That day, Yahweh Sabaoth declares, I shall break the yoke now on your neck and snap your chains; and foreigners will enslave you no more, 9 but Israel and Judah will serve Yahweh their God, and David their king whom I shall raise up for them.) 10 So do not be afraid, my servant Jacob, Yahweh declares, Israel, do not be alarmed: for look, I shall rescue you from distant countries and your descendants from the country where they are captive. Jacob will return and be at peace, secure, with no one to trouble him. 11 For I am with you to save you, Yahweh declares, I shall make an end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I shall not make an end of you, only discipline you in moderation, not to let you go quite unpunished.
