Align your hearts and minds to Me

Notes of meeting on 15 August 2017

Picture of Jesus in a homespun white garment. He is stood to the right of the Father's Throne and His hair is gently moving in the Spirit's Breeze.
Flowing down from His side is blood and water, down out of the Temple into the surrounding area until it becomes a river.
People from all nations are submerging themselves in the flow and as they arise the Blood and Water adheres to their skin and all sin, darkness, deprivation, bitterness, anger and resentment have gone from them. They feel only peace. They move their way to the City Gate to gain admittance and as they pass through the Gate all traces of Our Lord's Blood and Water are absorbed into them leaving them refreshed and cleansed, no more trepidation, only a oneness with Jesus as though their hearts flowed into His. His Heart beats aligned with theirs, His Blood, His thinking and breathing becoming their own.
Jesus says:
"My people many are the delights and wonders that await you in Our meeting, all that was detrimental to you will have passed away and only your New Life in the Son , Me Your Jesus will remain.
My Blood pours continually drawing My children to me, I await you with a Lovers Heart .
I, Jesus know your name, I knew you before you were conceived in your mothers womb, the spark of My Love that caused you to be and have Life.
Do not waste time on the things of this life they are transient, instead align your hearts and minds to Me.
Turn to Our Mother when you feel tempted to leave Me, she will always direct you back to Me, her Son, for she is the most glorious and powerful guardian of God's children. Follow her life as a pattern, pray for those who have no one to pray for them and indeed much prayer is needed.
I, Jesus anoint you, each of you, by your name to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Believe I am in you as you are in Me. You My people consecrated to My Scared Heart and the Most Immaculate Heart of My Mother do not fear or she who is all glorious will lead you to your Saviour.
Be filled."

Ephesians 6 v 10 -18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

1 Corinthians 10 v 1-31

For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptised into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.’  We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did – and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did – and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did – and were killed by the destroying angel.
11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Idol feasts and the Lord’s Supper

14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
18 Consider the people of Israel: do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

The believer’s freedom

23 ‘I have the right to do anything,’ you say – but not everything is beneficial. ‘I have the right to do anything’– but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26 for, ‘The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.’
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, ‘This has been offered in sacrifice,’ then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. 29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God – 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
