Cover quote:

You're always surrounded by a host of angels and spirit helpers. Never does a second pass when you're without the power of Heaven right at your fingertips.

Dear Family‚

1. I love you, and I'm so thankful to have you as my mates and loves, my comrades in arms. I'm thrilled that we're fighting together to win the world for Jesus, to reach the lost‚ and to love them into His arms. I'm proud to be a revolutionary and disciple of Jesus together with you. I'm proud that we're His intimate brides, His prophets and witnesses in these Last Days. I'm thankful for each one of you.

2. I pray you enjoyed the first birthday GN with the messages from our spirit helpers. It's exciting to me and awe-inspiring, whenever I think about the hosts of Heaven, our friends and co-workers in the realm of the spirit, who are eager to assist us in whatever ways we need them.

3. I've been asking the Lord more about my spirit helpers—their names‚ some of their background and history, what they do, exactly how they help me, and any other details that I'm interested in knowing. I've made a conscious effort to tune into them more, to get to know them better, and to learn to access their help in the most efficient ways possible. The Lord's been helping me to work together with my spirit helpers much more than I've been used to in the past.

4. I'm so excited about our wonderful helpers in Heaven and their willingness to be a part of us and a help to us, that I wanted to publish some more of my birthday messages for you in this GN—and Lord willing, there will be more to come.

5. First, there's an account from dear Dad of another little celebration in Heaven that took place on my birthday. Following that I'm including messages from Edgar Allan Poe and Queen Esther, who pledge to do all they can to help us in these Last Days.

6. Then some well-known brave fighters from history now helping us from Heaven—Alexander the Great and Cromwell—give their words of wisdom. You'll learn about a new heavenly warrior we hadn't heard about before: Armina. Rianna, my permanent Amazon spirit helper, speaks, followed by a message from a mysterious wandering prophet.

7. Jesus also gave an interesting message with clear and beautiful promises about our ex-member young people and how He will use them in the days to come. And I'll wrap up the GN on a lighter note with a fun message from the curator of a special museum in Heaven.

8. I pray these messages will bring you closer to Heaven and create a greater desire within you to get to know and work with our loved ones and helpers there. We certainly need their help, and won't be able to do the job the Lord has given us nearly as effectively without them.

9. Thank You, our loving Husband, for giving us not just Yourself, but immediate access to the fullness of Heaven as well—a storehouse of everything we will ever need to be Your vessels, do Your will, fight every battle, and conquer every foe!

Much love, Mama

A Special Honor for Mama,

And the Family, on Her Birthday!

10. (Dad speaking:) The Lord has called a great celebration in your honor in one of the special halls here in Heaven. It's the Hall of Commendation, and it's filled with pictures and images of special folks who the Lord has singled out for some outstanding deed or service for Him in their lifetime.

11. Today the Lord has called a gathering in honor of you. All who have gone before—all other heroes and saints honored in this great hall—have come for this special occasion, because the Lord is giving you the place of honor for this time and this era. Putting someone new in the central place of honor is always a momentous occasion, and even more so because few have held this position during their Earth lives.

12. Most saints who filled this spot in this hall filled it after they passed on, in recognition of the lives they led and the roles they were playing from the spirit world. I even had my turn in that spot for a while.

13. But today the Lord is doing a new thing, and you are taking this central place of honor as the Lord's leading tool and vessel for this time, both in the spirit and in the flesh‚ to lead His children and His armies into the Time of the End, to go before them in the Name of the Lord and in the name of the keys to win great victories and to stand undefeated in battle until the day the Lord Himself returns.

14. Jesus is now stepping up to the podium. The eyes of all in the audience are riveted on the beauty of His presence, because He is arrayed in all the majestic splendor of Heaven. He doesn't often appear like this. Most of the time He walks around looking quite normal and ordinary‚ at least as far as those two words can be applied here. He likes to show Himself simple and approachable most of the time. But for special occasions like this one, when He appears in all His glory, we are reminded once again of His splendor and universal majesty‚ and of what He left behind to become as one of us and to show us His Father's love.

15. The audience‚ which till now had been filled with quiet chatter, laughter, and greetings‚ falls into awed silence, and with a single movement‚ all fall to their knees before the powerful figure standing before us.

16. There is no poetry of Earth that could possibly describe the scene and appearance of our dear Jesus in all His splendor and glory. Even the tongues of Heaven can hardly describe it. You can only see it and marvel and burst out in strings of praises to this One so great Who became so small that we might partake of scenes such as this one.

17. Everyone is waiting in expectant silence for the Lord to begin speaking, but He remains silent. He stands with His eyes closed, His arms outstretched, and His head lifted upwards. Tears begin to trickle from His eyes and run down His cheeks, and all can feel in that silent moment the great love that He has for you, my darling. It is so overpowering and so overwhelming that tears begin to form in everyone's eyes, including my own‚ and I suddenly understand that these tears are prayers for you.

18. In the background there is music playing—the music of a thousand voices softly singing. The words are hard to catch, but they seem to blend with the tears as being part of the prayers that are being generated for you at this occasion, as if the voices are singing the unheard thoughts and prayers of each person in the room, translating them, and growing louder, until the whole room is filled with the sound of these voices, and the tears are flowing freely, and people are beginning to stand up and join their voices to the song.

19. The song itself could never be fully captured by human thought, but I'm catching phrases that can be translated:

Who wears her crown with utmost humility.

Who bears her mantle with diligent care.

Hail to the queen of the simple and loving.

Hail to the one who is nothing in her own sight.

Hail to the queen who our Lord and King honors.

Hail to the beloved of His heart.

Hail to the heart that stays true to her Lover.

One greater than Sheba is here.

The bride of all brides, the mother of all mothers.

The queen of all queens‚ the joy of her Lord.

Behold, how He loves her whom now He honors.

Her time is at hand, Maria shall shine.

To one so little in her own sight.

To one so great that she humbles us all.

There is no crown like hers in Heaven or on Earth.

There is no love like hers upon Earth for the souls of men.

Strength, health, wisdom, and honor be given to her who gives her all, and asks nothing in return.

Who asks, but not for herself.

Who pours forth abundantly of all that has been given her.

The riches of the Kingdom she keeps not to herself,

But gives to all, and seeks yet to give more.

There is no treasure too great for her faithful hands.

There is no prayer too great to be answered for Maria.

Behold what she has given, given freely to her Husband.

Behold what He has given, has given to His queen.

No good thing hath He withheld.

He crowneth her with gifts beyond the sight of mortal men.

20. Eventually the song begins to die down, and all open their eyes again to see that your image now hovers above the podium. It is the image of your spirit, and not your flesh—the image of your spirit as it appears this very moment. You are on your knees. Your hands are clasped together as if in prayer, and you are bowing before the Lord. Your crown, golden and glistening as if with the light of ten thousand stars, has fallen at the feet of Jesus, Who is standing before you and looking at you with great love. His back is turned to the audience, but still they can see and feel His very emotions as He picks up your crown‚ and hear His words as He speaks them to your spirit:

21. (Jesus speaking: ) Today, My queen, I commend you for all you have given to Me. I commend you for the life you have lived. I commend you for your faithfulness to Me‚ to My Words, to My prophets. I commend you for your conviction. I commend you for your love. I commend you for your care of even the least of these My brethren. I commend you for having held back nothing from Me that I have asked of you. Rise now, My beloved, and inherit the place that was destined for you from before the foundation of the world.

22. (Dad continues: ) Jesus reaches out His hand. You take it and rise, now arrayed in all your heavenly and spiritual majesty. The Lord has seen your humility, and now exalts you by clothing you in the same glory that surrounds Him.

23. Together‚ hand in hand, you step forward to the front of the podium. Jesus now turns you to face Him. Your face is flushed. You're not used to such public honor and attention‚ and for a moment you look nervous. But Jesus gently touches your face and lifts your eyes to meet His Own‚ and as He does this, you appear to forget about everything that is happening around you, and even where you are. Now it is just you and Him, your spirit and His Spirit, communing silently.

24. Now Jesus takes the crown and places it back on your head. The audience erupts in a great applause of joy and praises to Jesus and admiration and thankfulness for you. Then my eyes fill with tears‚ because I see you as you are and as you will be someday—free from the afflictions and difficulties you suffer on Earth, even though they draw you close to Him. These sufferings aren't worthy to be compared to the glory that surrounds your powerful heavenly spirit at this very moment.

25. Oh, Honey, I miss you, as much as that word has meaning here in Heaven. I'm still with you, but it's not the same as it will be when you get here. And now that I've already met the Lord, that's the day I'm looking forward to more than anything. But it's still a ways away, and there is still plenty for you to do, and I'm going to be with you and be helping you every step of the way. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you! XXXXXXX! (End of message from Dad.)

Messages from Spirit Helpers

To Mama on Her Birthday

Edgar Allan Poe:

26. Wonderful queen, lover of Jesus, and friend,

I love you through time, through worlds without end.

A queen of all queens, who merits all claim

To the words of all poets, and lovers the same.

For you are a representation of love—

The love of our God, true love from above.

I come to you with pen in hand,

With you and your Family I'm ready to stand.

I pledge to you God's gift in my pen,

To bring His Words to the souls of men.

27. That is my pledge to you, my dear queen, on this day of your birth. I come to you ready to serve, ready to give what gifts God has given me to help you reach the hearts of this great, vast‚ empty world. You have the words of eternal life, for you pour out the full truth, the pure‚ unadulterated Words of our Lover and King.

28. You stand strong in the message given to you. You don't water it down. You don't care, though the whole world stands against you‚ for your loyalty is to Jesus first. There is no one like you; no one who holds the message high and true; no one who rings out the truth loud and clear.

29. Most leaders, even many religious leaders of your day, think more about what people want to hear than what they need to hear‚ the unadulterated truth. They think about what will make them the most popular, or about how they can make the most money by getting the largest crowds. You‚ however, don't care what the worldly masses think, for the majority of people in the world are wrong and are going the wrong direction. You have conviction to tell the truth even if it makes others uncomfortable or is an unpopular message.

30. Those who love and follow you are those who want the truth above all‚ who love how you give your life for the truth and the message the Lord has given you. They love your radical‚ fiery spirit, and this, my queen, is what I too have come to love and admire about you.

31. Your dear David released me from torment and darkness through his prayers. He was moved by love to save me, and Jesus answered his prayers and received me into His spirit world of love. And now I want to do all I can to help your David as a token of my appreciation, and to give back to him some of the love he gave to me. I owe much to your David‚ and by helping you, I also serve him.

32. So I come now with pen in hand, ready to serve and follow your bidding. It is the highest honor of my life, the greatest calling that could possibly have been bestowed upon me, and Jesus has given it to me—even though I am not worthy, even though I am the least of all. Yet in His great love, He has given me the desires of my heart—to serve you and to be by your side during this tumultuous time, as the battle between right and wrong, light and dark, truth and lies grows ever more defined.

33. I love you, my queen, and pledge my eternal devotion to you and your cause, for it is the cause of the One I love the most. (End of message from Edgar Allan Poe.)

Queen Esther:

34. I became a queen one day, which was something that I never expected, just like you. It's not like you were growing up thinking that one day you'd be a queen ordained by the Lord, our great King of kings, to lead an army of His believers in this Earth's final hours. But that just shows that He takes the weak things of this world to confound the mighty. He uses your humility and your desperation to cause you to do great and mighty things.

35. I have been by your side many times over the years, and I will be by your side more as the time grows darker and the Enemy lurks on every side. For my God has granted me the honor of helping you, of working with you, and being able to strengthen you in the spirit with faith, with wisdom, and with great love that will cover all sin—the sin of your loved ones, and most of all, the sin of your enemies. Your enemies will fall, they will fail, just like our God helped us to overcome the enemy of my people.

36. As the days grow darker and the fight becomes more intense, you and your Family will be given more and more spiritual help. One by one we will rally to your side to encourage you, protect you, and give you wisdom in your hour of need! So don't ever feel alone. Don't ever wonder who is there to help you, for you have a spiritual force field like no others have had in the history of the world! And we will never leave your side. We will give you comfort, love, a fighting spirit, power, might, patience, wisdom, encouragement, and the wrath of God and His power to stand strong in the Last Days! That is our promise, for that is our commission from our Lover, that we are always by your side to be your strength, your help, and your spiritual armor in these Last Days!

37. I am one of a whole battalion of former kings and queens of old who are continually by your side, whispering in your ear, holding up your arms in spirit, teaching you the tactics of fighting and winning the battles of the spirit and how to wield your newest spiritual weapons—the keys of the Kingdom!

38. I am also commissioned by our Husband to uphold you and shield you from attacks of discouragement upon hearing of the many problems or of the accusations and attacks on your Family by former members and even loved ones who have gone out from you.

39. These things do not move you, dear Maria, because of the shield of faith you have received from our Husband, Jesus, and because He has specially commissioned me to hold up a special key of the Kingdom as a shield and armor around you to protect you from these darts and arrows that would wound you in spirit.

40. Know that I am always by your side, helping you in these ways, and you and your Family can call for my help with a special request at any time. (End of message from Queen Esther)

Alexander the Great:

41. I conquered the world through force, but you have conquered the world with love! And love has proven more powerful!

42. I have watched you with great interest to see how you would blossom into the queen that God wanted you to be after your loved one, Father David, came to his reward. I have seen that our wonderful King will never fail in His faith in you. He knows that you love Him above all and He has so much faith in you that you'll always seek Him‚ you will not make a move without His guidance‚ and that is what will always guarantee the victory.

43. Don't worry or concern yourself with the enemies who wish to raise their arms against you. For in the day that they do so, many legions of angels and spirit helpers‚ myself included, will also raise our arms to fight them in the spirit. Their evil machinations will come to naught‚ for none can stand against the might and strength and will of our almighty God!

44. I worshipped many false gods while on Earth, for I knew not of the one true God that made Heaven and Earth. But upon my death I was given a choice and I was told the truth. I'm so thankful to Him for His love and mercy to give me that chance, for now I am able to help lead His armies to victory!

45. Victory is always assured to those who fight for love, for the right, and for our God! I had many victories, but they pale in comparison to the glorious victories won for the Lord of lords!

46. I am standing ready to fight for you‚ to protect you, my queen, and to serve you as my Lord has commanded! So never fear, for the armies of Heaven are here to guard you. We will not look to the right or to the left, but we will stand strong‚ holding our ground and protecting you on all sides.

47. You are most valuable to Jesus, our King, and He has sent me to be a helper for you. Together we will vanquish the Enemy! Together we will wound and send him howling into the netherworld! Together we will conquer for our King and Mighty Ruler, Jesus. I am yours to command. (End of message from Alexander the Great.)

Text box:

48. (Question:) Wasn't Alexander the Great a cruel leader and conqueror who lived long before Jesus? Lord, could You please explain how he came to know You, and not only know You, but rise to the position of being one of Mama's spirit helpers and a commander of a heavenly army?

49. (Alexander speaking:) I was told the truth of love‚ and was shown the accounts of my life—the good and the bad—upon my deathbed. I was not given the full truth about salvation upon my deathbed, as that truth was given to me after Jesus' mission on Earth. But even those who died before Jesus blessed the Earth with salvation still received the basic truth of God's love at their death. Just like others, I was shown my life and actions, and it was all balanced with the measuring stick of God's love. Though I wasn't at the time given the chance to accept Jesus as my Savior and receive His salvation, as He had not yet paid the price, I still received much truth. I saw my wrongs, my failings, the mistakes I'd made that hurt so many others.

50. After my death, there was a time when I was in limbo, where I went through a period of retraining, relearning. Part of my training was in Purgatory—as from the very beginning‚ immediately after my death‚ I knew full well my mistakes and sins. And because those affected so many people‚ I had to go through a period of retraining. Part of that retraining was realizing the hurt I'd caused others‚ suffering as a result, and overcoming condemnation‚ guilt and remorse. And, yes, in time I did receive full salvation and have been in Heaven for quite some time now. [For more on Purgatory, see ML #2698:4-12, 19–20, Lifelines 19; ML #3132:83–89, Lifelines 24.]

51. Upon my arrival in Heaven, I continued the second half of my training, and I am a different man today than I was when on Earth. I feel unworthy to even be in Heaven, and can understand why you on Earth would wonder how I ended up here, because I wasn't a good person on Earth. I did help to prepare the way for the Lord—spreading culture, language, art, and literature—and in that way I fulfilled a certain plan and was blessed for the good I accomplished. Yet I lived by the sword, and though that was the way of those days, still I was hardened in heart and often unforgiving and merciless. For these things and my many sins, I am very sorry.

52. You can be sure I have endured much pain and suffering as a result of the life I lived on Earth—but some would still feel I don't deserve Heaven. Well‚ I don't deserve Heaven! It's true. But Jesus is merciful and will extend His hand of love and mercy even to the greatest of all sinners. I'm not worthy, but when He offered me freedom and love and said He would wipe my past away, I accepted it and received it with open arms. I did have to suffer for the wrongs I did and receive extensive retraining, but my retraining didn't need to last forever.

53. Jesus said that I was now ready to help you, the children of David, and your queen, in these Last Days. I am humbled to do so, and pray that through everything I have experienced in my life on Earth, in Purgatory and in Heaven, I have gained wisdom, love, and will finally have a chance to be used of the Lord in a way that will really matter—to spread love and hope instead of war and death, to give courage and bravery instead of defeat and destruction. (End of message from Alexander the Great.)

End of text box.

Cromwell:

54. Let courage be given to you this day—the courage to stand alone against the ten thousands that stand against you, and to face them down without fear! There is nothing more frightening to the Enemy of your soul than a man or woman who shows no fear and is determined to fight on, no matter what!

55. You have been given the courage of a lion, though in yourself you feel weak. Yet it is through this weakness that you've been given great strength—the greatest strength ever given to mankind! I have known fear and I have seen the enemy surround me, yet it was my faith in the Lord and the knowledge that my cause was a righteous cause and one worth fighting and dying for that gave me the courage I needed to fight on.

56. I have been instructed to be by your side in these Last Days, to help you and to give you courage for the fight. For the right is always the underdog, the side that looks like the losing side. But not with the Lord, for one with the Lord is a majority no matter what the odds! You have the most righteous cause on Earth, one that any hero or heroine would be honored to fight alongside you for.

57. All the great men and women who have ever lived stand in line now to aid you and the Family this day in all manner of war and new weaponry of the spirit. This is a fight that must be won, and one that you shall win. But it shall not be without a battle. There are those who look at the physical and see the horses and chariots and great numbers of the Enemy's forces that encompass them, and not the heavenly host that is fighting by their side. If they could see the powerful heavenly army amassed against the Enemy, there would be no doubt in their mind as to who the victor would be.

58. You have been given the keys to unlock the secrets of Heaven and to show them to the Family, to open their eyes and give them the vision. You are the bearer of the sacred flame of the Most High, to give light in the midst of darkness and to defeat the forces that would try to snuff out this flame. My comrades and I stand at attention to do your slightest bidding, for that is our pleasure and sacred duty. (End of message from Cromwell.)

Armina:

59. They call me Armina. I am created by God to champion the causes of those in need‚ to fight against the attacks of the Enemy on those who are in need of help and support. I've been commissioned to fight now for the Family. I am preparing for the days ahead when I will be there to defend you.

60. I have been outfitted with the latest of weaponry, and I have been trained in the finest fighting arts. I will use these to fight on your behalf. I will rally the forces under me to your aid when the time comes.

61. The Lord has commissioned us to begin training the Family in spirit for what is to come. We are skillfully prepared for the battles to come, and we will stand by your side and lift up the standard of David with you.

62. (Vision: ) I'm seeing a very powerful and formidable woman warrior. Her facial features are very feminine, but at the same time she is muscular and fit. She wears a helmet with a long plume coming out of the top. The funny thing is that I don't see any weapons on her‚ but I know she has them.

63. She's standing on a rock, and behind her is a crowd of fighters outfitted like her. Her body is clothed in leopard skin—not a lot‚ but sparsely covering her body like a two–piece outfit. She has this band-like bracelet around her forearm. It's just a band all the way around, but in the middle there is this incredible key that illuminates. This band is made of what appears to be shiny gold, but rather than emitting a yellowish light‚ the light that glows is white with highlights of blue in it. All of the people behind her wear them too.

Text box.

64. (Question: ) Lord, is this a real leopard skin? If so, how is this possible, because it doesn't seem like animals would be killed and skinned in the spirit world and Heaven?

65. (Jesus speaking:) If I am able to create all things‚ can I not create the garb for My spirit beings and helpers as well? The fact that it is leopard skin does not mean that the leopard was killed to provide it. (End of message from Jesus.)

End of text box.

66. (Jesus speaking:) These are some of the specially trained fighters of the End, designed especially for your battles with those who would try to stop My work through you. They have no visible weapons, for in the keys lies all the power they need. The light that emanates from that band is like the white-hot light of My Word—My Spirit in you.

67. You see them as a band of outstanding warriors, and you yourself feel so insufficient in the fight. But know that in time you will stand among them—the spiritual and physical realms melded as one—and the fight, determination, and skill will be equal in all of you. That is their calling—to train you in the fight as they have been trained.

68. Armina leads them, just as you, My queen, lead your troops into battle against the Enemy and his attacks against My Family—My warriors, My Endtime witnesses.

69. (Note from channel:) I'm getting the word Armenia, and that somehow Armina has a connection to this country or people.

70. (Jesus continues:) You are receiving the word "Armenia" because Armina served as the guardian spirit over Armenia and her peoples, and specifically over My gypsies of Armenia. Armina is what many here in Heaven refer to as a "patron saint" of Armenia. (It is not those on Earth who look to her as their patron saint, as they do not know of her, and many today have turned completely away from My truth.) For many years she served her country in interceding and fighting bravely in the spirit for her people, who have, over time, suffered much persecution—even being driven from one nation to another. I sent her to guard My Armenian children because their cries had many times reached My ears and My heart.

71. Armina was assigned to My Armenian children because she is a great warrior in the spirit. She is well trained in the art of warfare, the art of combat, and being face to face with the Enemy and with the threat and reality of persecution. But now the call of David—the king of the gypsies in spirit, the children of David—has summoned this one to your side. She and her army now prepare and are being prepared with the new weapons and the spiritual weaponry to come.

72. Her skill lies in always being one step ahead of the Enemy. Armina's heart lies with those who are persecuted for My Name's sake, and so she has been called to the side of the children of David, that she may gather an army of great might to fight on your behalf. Her army consists of those, such as the Cathars and others, who have suffered persecution for righteousness and My Name's sake over the millenniums—those who have been trained and outfitted in the new weaponry and the power of the keys, and who I have personally seen fit, able, and qualified to fight for you, the children of David, My children of the End.

73. These, your new spiritual warriors, are all children of David in spirit—gypsies in spirit—tough warriors who are used to the rugged warfare, the harsh elements, being called upon to fight in adverse conditions and circumstances. Already they stand in rank and file, ready to assist you. There are many more of them than there are of you, so there is more than enough help for all. Each warrior stands at attention directly behind each and every child of David, bolstering them in spirit, supporting them in spirit, and preparing them in spirit for what is to come. They are all gifted in secretly learning the strategies‚ tactics and plans of the Enemy‚ and are masters in their own right at spying out the land and evil intentions of the Enemy and his legions.

74. Not only are they gifted in warfare, the power of the keys‚ and in the latest spiritual weaponry available, but they are gifted in the art of skillfully remaining hidden and disguised‚ remaining elusive‚ difficult to detect, and always one move and one step ahead of the Enemy‚ that they may guard and protect their own.

75. Now their ministry is a quiet one, one of preparing, of waiting, of strengthening through their prayers, their whispers and their checks. But they stand ready—ready at a moment's notice to launch into the great battle that is to come for the children of David. (End of message from Jesus)

Rianna:

76. This is an extraordinary time in your history! The year ahead is going to be a year of strengthening for you personally, and for the Family! You are going to exercise your gift of fighting like never before! I know what this brings to your mind, but you have no need to worry, fret or fear that the battle will be too strong‚ too intense, or more than you can bear. No, dear Maria, it will be thrilling, exhilarating, strengthening, rewarding. You will relish the fight and come out better for it in the end. Then you will stand unflinching, glorying in the presence of our Husband and Savior, the Victor over all.

77. You have nothing to fear, for we, your helpers who surround you constantly, are many‚ and we will help you carry the load. This one petition I make of you‚ if I may, my queen: Listen intently to my instruction in the coming weeks and months‚ for I have new things to share with you, new fighting strategies and fresh counsel regarding the fight.

78. I am here to teach you the deep secrets of the Amazon warrior women. I am here to teach you new strategies and skills in fighting during this coming year. I have instructed you personally‚ my queen, in the battle for your young people—this I will continue to do. In addition, I have more—much‚ much more to instruct you in regards to your fight for your Family. Now I will guide in the battle for your Family‚ the battle against those who are led by the Tempter.

79. I will help to strengthen you in this fight. I will keep, protect‚ and guide you this coming year in the fight for truth, the fight for right, the fight for your children, those whose hearts are pure, and who desire to follow to the End. The fight is worth it all, dear queen. This year you will grow strong in the ways of boldness, fearlessness, bravery and courage. My skills will become your skills and you will glory in victory. (End of message from Rianna.)

Text box:

80. (Question: ) Lord, can You please tell us a little more about these Amazon women? There's not much about them in history, and what little that's there isn't always very complimentary. What's the reality of the Amazons?

81. (Jesus speaking:) The nations and peoples in your physical realm are often reflections of the spiritual. Many tales of heroes or heroines of old, of gods and goddesses, or warriors which your modern world considers myths were real. They existed in the spirit and still do, and many were visible in the physical and did great deeds, some good and some evil.

82. Sometimes they had human counterparts as well, people who later came to be known by their same name. Such is the case of the Amazons. They were warrior spirits and they were warrior humans. The warrior spirits came to Earth at times to wage their warfare on behalf of My children and those who were in the right, and those brave human women on Earth who came to be called Amazons came to Heaven to become warrior spirits here, to continue their fight. So the spiritual traveled to the physical realm for a while and those in the physical who were worthy traveled to the spiritual realm to abide forever. (End of message from Jesus.)

Wandering Prophet:

83. I want to give a message to you, the queen of the beggars. I'm not well known. I have no name in the annals of history. But I was a prophet, a wandering prophet. I wandered just in my robe and sandals, carrying my staff. I went from village to village, temple to temple, and spoke the words that the Spirit of the Lord gave me. Sometimes I was received and sometimes I wasn't. It was, as you say, "feast or famine." Sometimes I was welcomed into their houses and fed, given a new pair of sandals, a fresh, clean robe, and some victuals for my journey, and I went on my way. But I was constantly forth-telling. My speech was always seasoned with salt. I would, as you say, "let the chips fall where they may."

84. As I said, some received me and some didn't. Some would beat me up and throw me out, spitting on me, hitting me with sticks and throwing stones at me, and I would go on my way. But I was always comforted and succored by the Lord Himself. I was literally a stranger, a pilgrim, and a vagabond. Sometimes I slept out in the desert. Most times I would look for a cave to sleep in. Outside it would be chilly and frosty sometimes, and I would huddle with my robe wrapped about me. But the fire in my heart, the love in my heart, helped keep me warm, and I felt so safe and secure.

85. So I'm stepping forward to pay my respects to your queen of the beggars, the queen of the cast–out ones, the queen of the hated and despised ones of this world, who make themselves of no reputation for the Word of God. Oh, you who fear persecution … you fear imprisonment and even death. But you don't know the reward here and now in your heart and in your spirit that you receive knowing that you are persecuted for righteousness' sake. It's something that is hidden from you until you actually experience it‚ and it causes you to face the driving wind of all opposition, the hatred in men's faces‚ with the peace that passes all understanding.

86. Yes, as your queen said, persecution will be good for you. Persecution equals good. Rejoice, Jesus said‚ in that day‚ for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you, and I was one of them—a lonely prophet. I often wished someone could share my life‚ but that was not meant to be‚ so I was the lonely prophet—literally a voice crying in the wilderness. But it had its rewards, even there and then in the faces and the fellowship of those who received me. It made it worth it all! Those villages, those communities, were blessed for many generations afterwards. They saw from the heavenlies the fruit of their acceptance of Jesus in me, in the lives of their children and their children's children on down. (End of message from wandering prophet.)

Arrows in My Hand—Your Children

87. (Jesus speaking: ) I have said that your children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty man. I want to explain a little more about this, and how some of your "arrows" that have missed the target, in the form of your second generation who have left the Family, will yet come to play their part.

88. I'm bringing this subject up because I know that it is one that concerns you, and I want to reveal to you My plan concerning these by expounding and enlarging on My analogy of the arrows in the hand of an archer.

89. Yes, your children are My arrows, and I shoot them out toward the target of My highest will. But these aren't just dumb wooden arrows; they are living arrows, and thus they have a mind of their own—to decide whether to fly straight along the path I have shot them in, or whether they will deviate and seek some other course, or run out of steam and fall to the ground.

90. Right now there are many who have chosen to fly along other paths and have not hit the target they were meant for, so they lie about, scattered on the ground, not being used of Me. As a wise archer, My quiver is full of many arrows, so for the time being I'm still shooting out those that will obey, and I'm continuing to use and raise up the second and third generations of My Family.

91. But when the days of evil will come upon this Earth, during the great final reaping, I will be in need of reinforcements, above and beyond those faithful who have remained by My side for many years. I will find Myself in need of all of My arrows, even those who chose a different path or life for a time. In the Last Days I will not have time to train new ones straight out of the System, so I will call for the help of My children who received training in their youth, and will rekindle the truth in their hearts.

92. That's when I will go out into the highways and byways and find and gather all those arrows that are lying about unused on the ground. Those will be the days in which you will experience the returning of your lost ones. I will lovingly pick them up from their useless places in the gutters and grasses and polish them off, re-sharpen their tips, and place them again in My quiver to be shot out once more to join their fellows.

93. So don't worry about the arrows that seem to lie about on the ground. Know that in due time I will gather them to Me once again. Rejoice rather for the arrows that do fly straight and are accomplishing My purpose. You are doing all that you can in praying that those which are gone will stay clean from too much of the world and will remember Me in their hearts. Those prayers are working and you will reap their benefits in the Latter Days. (End of message from Jesus.)

A Museum in Heaven

94. (Spirit being:) I'm the curator of a museum in Heaven, and since it's your birthday‚ I thought it would be fun to tell you about an exhibit that we're running. You might think it's a little weird or "much ado about nothing," but it's interesting to us and it's been pretty popular.

95. It's a collection of all the various pieces of equipment you have ever used to record the Lord's Words, either through David or directly in prophecy. Our team has painstakingly crafted authentic replicas of every pen, pad, dictaphone, microphone, computer‚ or what–have-you that you have ever used to record and capture the Lord's living Words.

96. They've really gotten into it, and the models are pretty much perfect in every detail‚ down to the wear and tear that you've put on them. I know it seems a little silly, but it's an interesting thing to see these pens and tape recorders that are just dumb pieces of machinery‚ except that they were used by God to record His Words for the world.

97. I guess, in a way, it's a little like you. You're just a person, just a regular old human like anyone else, but because you're so used of God, you become something special, something extraordinary and worthy of note.

98. Anyway, back to the exhibit: Everything is displayed in nice little display cases that have text near them that says how long you used this certain one‚ and there's a way that they can click for more information that tells which precise Letters and prophecies were received via which pads or mikes or whatever. It's very interesting to see the world-changing Words that have been recorded with these simple devices.

99. Like I said, it's been quite popular up here, mainly because most of our exhibits don't focus so much on precise earthly things, so it's kind of novel for people up here to see the things that you've used to get the Lord's Words out. Some of them snicker a little at the "old-fashioned" technology, but it's all just done in fun‚ and they have respect for these important "artifacts."

100. We had a real treat the other day when Dad heard about this exhibit and he dropped by to see these things. He had a great time looking over all these old things, and they brought back a lot of memories. He recognized some of the old typewriters and tape recorders, and he gave a little impromptu "tour" to those who were in attendance that day, explaining some interesting little facts and figures about how some of those talks were given, some of the things that were nearly lost due to faulty equipment, and the miracles the Lord did.

101. Of course, his main emphasis was to point out your faithfulness in always being there to make sure not one seed fell to the ground. He always laughs when remembering how quick you were with your pen and paper or your microphone. You always were right in there to catch it all, and look at all that's happened because of that faithfulness! I guess that's why we're running a heavenly exhibit on it.

102. I'm sure you'd rather not be the focus of so much attention, but we love to give it to you because you deserve it so much. We all love you and are thankful for you and your constant faithfulness to capture and record the Words of our beloved Jesus. (End of message from spirit helper.)
