Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family.
We are planning the second phase of the City of God building project. The task and the provision we need to accomplish clearing ten acres of forest land is a bit overwhelming. Father Derrick and I were trying to figure out how to budget for it without losing sight of charity and giving to those who have needs. I was beginning to get a bit anxious about it. Then I pulled these Rhemas;
First Rhema,
“Congratulations”, by Ada Ehi. Play the song (testimony coming soon).
Second Rhema,
A Song of Praise, “The Lord shall go forth like a Mighty Man. He shall stir up zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, ‘Yes, raise a war cry’. He shall prevail against His enemies. “A song of victory!”
Third Rhema,
Jesus says, “Yes” Nobody can say, “No!”
I thought, “Wow Lord, what is coming our way? Hey, now Jesus!”
After the Lord’s Supper, I received Jesus and came to hear His voice.
Lord, good morning, I come to you with so many things on my heart.
Jesus responded,
“I know, My beloved little one, and I am here to answer and give you peace to them all.”
Lord, all the Rhemas are wonderful. Do You have another surprise up your sleeve?
“And I won’t tell” (He said with a twinkle in His eye)
I laughed as well. I can think what I would like it to be ─ but I surrender to your providence. However big or small the surprise, I take it and thank You for it now, as you said to.
“Yes, Beloved, let praise and thanksgiving ring forth from your lips. When nothing seems to be happening, so much is happening, and you have obtained the victory now. Just wait to see what I have in store and what victory it is you have won.”
Okay, Lord, I wait with great anticipation and gratitude! Thank you, Jesus.
Lord, I felt strongly, [that] you wanted Mother Angelica to speak to me today. I could sense her presence.
Jesus continued,
“Yes, My beloved one, she holds you dearly in her heart. She is one of the many spiritual mothers you have here in heaven. And there is a lot you can learn from her life. It would do you good to get her book again. In The Biography of ETWN, [Eternal Word Television Network], there are many nuggets of truth, inspiration, and encouragement that you will need for this journey, and for your call because your paths are similar in nature. I have called you to do much and to be an example for many things to many people. Never shrink from this. It’s pride that causes you to look at yourself. Whether it’s in admiration for what I accomplish through you or rather insecurity for all that I have called you to do, just keep your eyes on Me and continue to give Me the glory in all that I do through you. You are who you are by the grace of God simply and humbly accept it and think of nothing else. Especially stop thinking of yourself or caring what others would think. You just be obedient and faithful, and I will finish My work through you.”
I then saw Mother Angelica walking up smiling at the right side of Jesus, ready to speak to me,
Mother Angelica began,
“My beloved daughter, what a pleasure for us to meet again”, as she laughed. “There is much I want to encourage you on and give you the counsel you have been seeking, concerning donations and whether or not to give to the poor ─ or use it first for the Lord’s work. I too, had my struggles interiorly, wondering if I was stepping in the right direction. I had to put on different hats at different times. The hat of a Mother Superior over a congregation ─ a hat of a businesswoman when dealing with the banks and the world ─ the hat of a religious nun when dealing with the public ─ the hat of God’s resilient bride when dealing with my fellow brother bishops, and other leaders in the religious community who made it a point to oppose me ─ the hat of a daughter sharing her religious life with her mother ─ the hat of a project overseer when we started constructing buildings and setting up for the network ─ the hat of a speaker and teacher when sharing the Word of God ─ and finally the hat of a television star, now that was the hardest.
“In all of these things, I never lost my place ─ where I stood with Jesus. Before Him, I knew I was feeble, weak ─ absolutely nothing. He was my everything. He gave Me the grace to trust His providence; to be sensitive to His providence, and to see the opportunity when it came.
“When it comes to funding you do not serve just a King, but the creator of all things ─ the controller of all things, and money is the least of His worries. Trust His leading, use wisdom and the counsel of those He has entrusted to you. Your beloved is a very wise man and hand-picked for the job. Use normal donations as they come, to be a support to help the poor and those in need ─ and the funds you raise specifically for your project use, for that. Move forward and get started on that. The Lord has given you such a big vision for a small pint like yourself.
“He once told me that he chooses the small things of this world to confound those who are big (as she burst forth into laughter).
“He likes to get all the glory. I know, it’s the fools of this world who confound the wise ─ but how more foolish can you look? Being a woman, so little in stature, no defense, or anything to intimidate by your appearance alone, but you have the Lion standing behind you. You have the King of kings and the Lord of lords, waging every battle and every assignment. Hell will try to rage against you and this work. They may cause delays for a time, but no weapon will ever prosper against you. They cannot stop this work, just as they could not stop mine.
“Now the Church is in a weakened state, so it has affected what initially started out pure, with the intention to reach the world for Jesus ─ to draw souls from all walks of life, to love the Holy Eucharist.”
As an aside, she is talking about the Catholic Church.
“My heart still pains me for where the church is now, but even then, I know Jesus will be victorious and the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, no not ever. Stay focused, Beloved, and continue to trust your beloved’s leading. Pray about everyone who comes on board to help with this project. Get their names and immerse them in your Lord’s Supper. Pray over the equipment you use and stay before the Lord’s Eucharistic face. You have no idea the graces, the strength, and the victories alone, you have won by just coming and adoring. He will continue to remove every obstacle one by one.
“Trust His timing. When things seem to fail miserably, trust his providence, even in that ─ that there has been a wrong turn of direction. But even then, do not stay discouraged. For as soon as one door closes, another one opens. Again, His providence. I will be fighting next to you in prayer, to ensure this work is completed, because it is also My work from here in heaven done on the earth.
“None of us saints stop working when we get to heaven. We do much more than we could have ever done on earth. See, this tough Italian mama, as now the spiritual project manager over this work. I will help your beloved to make sound decisions, and warn him when he is veering off, or has those around him who do not have the Lord’s best interest but rather their own and will be an impediment in the long run. Because many will come once this begins, to want to be a part of it. Pray about everything and discern about everyone. Stay the course and stick to the vision the Lord has given you two.
“That is all for now, my dear little daughter. Truly, you are blessed.”
That was the end of Mother Angelica’s message.
I went to The Bible Promise Book to discern, and I got this scripture, that really brought consolation and confirmation concerning the work and raising donations;
1 Timothy 6:17-19, New Life Version:
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
Amen. I felt, once again, it was about the donations. Family, we receive a large amount of donations every month, but we give 75% of our donations away to support ministries, many in the Heartdwellers family group, many children… So, we are always giving away to the poor and the needy ─ and we have nothing left for the project ─ for “The City of God”. He wants us to continue giving first to the poor and needy. What is left over, ─ to give to ourselves to finish the project, the work of “The City of God”. That is why we are doing “The City of God” Phase 2 Campaign – we are in desperate need of a lot of money and provisions to make this work ─ to build this project ─ to build this family and to build this community. So, our hope is in the Lord. He will continue to provide.
Thank you, family. In the next video, we will share with you our farming journey and the second phase of “The City of God” building campaign. Please support us with your prayers. And any donation amount would be so appreciated.
Now, enjoy a little clip from Mother Angelica….[see the YouTube video on HeartdwellersGhana.org].
God bless you, until the next message.
