Directive from Heaven - No. 585 - Live in the Spirit given at to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#585 - Live in the Spirit

"Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 2: 5

SOULS, HOMES, CHURCHES IN DARKNESS
"Much tribulation lies ahead, but these trials have been brought upon you by man. As it was in the days of Noe, so it is in your day that man is prideful and arrogant, seeking to place scientific knowledge above the Father. Rationalization for sin, so that sin now is a way of life! Souls in darkness, homes in darkness, and churches in darkness--whatever will become of you? You ask for the wrath of the Father upon you!
"All that is rotten will fall! You have been given the time to mend your ways and turn back onto the narrow road. You are not without the truth, but many have sold their souls to get to the head, preferring the things of the world and not of the spirit. You cannot live in the world and live in the spirit, for you cannot have both. The world now belongs to satan. The spirit of light leads to the eternal Kingdom of God. You will live in the spirit of light. False teachers among you take the light from you and bring you into deeper darkness. You will read the Book of love and life, the Bible. However, you will not place your souls in jeopardy by reading printings after the year of earth 1964." - St. Paul, March 24, 1974

A WAR OF THE SPIRIT
"I cannot stress, My children, the necessity of your wearing your sacramentals. Many graces have been given to these objects of God to protect you from infiltration by satan and his agents.
"We are at war, a great war, a war of the spirit. Your armor will be that you clothe yourselves with the word of God. The Father has set the path for you. He commands that you do not cast aside His rules of discipline." - Our Lady, March 24, 1974

DO NOT HESITATE
"My Son has given Himself to you, for His Word became flesh. I offered Myself as a Mother so that the Word would reach the world. Humbly I stand before you, as the Mother of your God, and beg you, as a Mother of earth, to listen and hasten to take action upon My word, for your time grows short.
    "All who hear the call of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, must not hesitate, for many will not have this opportunity again.
    "The word will be preached by many throughout the world. The Father has sent among you many voice-boxes to bring the words of truth and the words of guidance.
    "Yes, the road, the narrow road is one of suffering. You will be mocked, you will be spit at, you will be laughed at, made an object of scorn, but you will pick up your cross and follow the way of your Lord." - Our Lady, March 24, 1974

"YOU MUST LIVE IN THE SPIRIT"
"Please, my sisters, return your garments to the floor! Your example is not one of piety and chastity. Your vows have been discarded. You enter into a world that has been given to satan. Retreat from this world. Go back to your life of prayer. Better a life of solitude than a life of eternal damnation.
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
"Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974

"STAY IN THE SPIRIT OF LIGHT"
"Parents, please--I beg of you as your Mother, to bar your doors to all but your immediate family and workers in the light. Satan has many faces, My children. He will come to you even as an angel of light. If you pray, if you stay in the spirit of light, My children, he will not delude you.
"I ask you again to pray for your Holy Father in Rome. He is very ill. He needs many prayers, for he is being crucified by his own. He is truly the little one in the message of Jacinta.
"My children, do not seek the material pleasures of the world or the wealth of the world, for you cannot be of the world and of the spirit. Our world, the Eternal Father in the Trinity with My Son, Our world is not of the earth. It is a world far beyond the earth, but it is the world that is eternal to all mankind." - Our Lady, June 1, 1978

HIERARCHY TO AVOID POLITICS, WORLDLY LIVING
"All high priests of My Son's House will live in the spirit and not be concerned with the politics and worldly living. You will make your choice: you will stand with My Son, or you will be of the world. And you who have been given the graces to represent My Son in this world will be cast aside and condemned with the least for the offenses you are committing against your God!" - Jesus, June 18, 1972

CANNOT BE OF THE WORLD AND OF THE SPIRIT
"Believe, My children, and you shall be given the way. Ask and you will receive the light. None shall enter into the abyss unless of his own free will. You have the balance within your heart for your salvation.
"Every man, woman, and child upon earth must make his decision when he is of knowledgeable age, for his salvation. You cannot be of the world and of the spirit. You may live in the world, but you must remain in the spirit.
"A life of prayer and meditation shall give you the necessary graces that will keep you from falling into error." - Our Lady, July 15, 1975

PRAY FOR YOUR BISHOPS AND CARDINALS
"I repeat: you must pray for your bishops, pray for your cardinals--you who claim you are members of the Church of My Son, His House upon earth. Many pastors have buried their heads in the sands. They are blind of spirit, and why? Because they do not pray. They have given themselves over to worldly pursuits. They do not pray. They do not stay in the spirit but have become of the world, seeking gold and silver and honor and power among men, until in their pursuits they are handing over My Son's Church to the enemies of God.
"Do you not recognize, My children, pastors in My Son's House, that satan is among you? He has come as an angel of light, deluding you with promises of humanism and modernism for mankind, promises of success and the salvation of souls for whom? For Lucifer!
"When one becomes blind of spirit, you walk then in darkness. A house and a church in darkness, My children, wears a band of death about it! A church that falls into heresy and continued error will close its doors." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

ETERNAL LIFE IS OVER THE VEIL
"Do not be concerned of your body, but have at least a small measure of fear that you do not lose your soul, for your life eternal is in the spirit. There is no death to mankind in the spirit. Your eternal life is over the veil, and every man, woman, and child born upon earth must pass beyond the veil sooner or later.
"Do not fall for the fallacy that My trial and My suffering upon your earth has automatically given you free access to the Kingdom of the Father. No! This must be by merit. You must want to enter the Kingdom; you must prepare for the Kingdom; you must make ready for the Kingdom now, for many are called, many shall be called, but only a few can enter. Man has a free will; he is given the choice." - Jesus, June 12, 1976

ARE YOU MATERIALISTIC OR LIVING IN THE SPIRIT?
"My Mother gave you full knowledge of what transpires now in Rome. You will listen to Her counsel and follow it.
"My children, you must now make up your own minds. Shall you be of the spirit or the body? Are you materialistic or are you living in the spirit? Unless you live in the spirit now, you will not be of the spirit when you come over the veil. And many who hear My voice now shall be coming over the veil before you can count the numbers on one hand." - Jesus, June 18, 1977

YOU MUST NOW DECIDE
"We had hoped, My children, My Mother had begged for a reprieve for mankind, and the hand of the Eternal Father was held back through generations; but now, My children, the test is here, the test to mankind. It will be the final stage of the separation of the sheep from the goats.
"You must make your choice now, who and what you will follow in the remaining time of earth-years. You must now decide upon a life in the world but out of the world. You must now live in the spirit of life, and not enter into a spirit of darkness.
"You must, as parents--I repeat My Mother's counsel to you--you must as parents now, be guardians of the souls of your children, for you cannot hand them over to anyone outside of your home, for the souls of whom knock upon your door are evil. Many will be lost in the coming tribulation and the days ahead." - Jesus, September 7, 1977

THOSE WHO REPRESENT GOD
"Those who represent God should not take up the fashions of satan. Those who represent God must set an example of purity of heart and purpose. Those who represent God must live in the spirit." - St. Theresa, July 25, 1972

AN ETERNITY OF HAPPINESS AND JOY
"My sisters in Christ, cast aside the inducements to lose your chastity. You must not place upon your bodies the stigma of sin in either thought or action. You must live in the spirit and out of the world. The time on your earth is not long. You will soon be put to test. Do not follow like the sheep into the fires. Your sufferings for the truth will be worth all discomforts of your worldly life, for you will gain an eternity of happiness and joy here in the Kingdom of the Mother of God and all those who He has shared eternity with now. I promised when I left you that I would spend my time here coming to earth to help guide my sisters. I will keep this promise, for I will be with you unto the end of your time. And then I shall rest." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1972

"YOU HAVE LOST CONTACT WITH US"
"My children, recognize the signs of your times. You are all being tested now. What was to happen in the future shall be now! My Mother has gone throughout your world begging and pleading for your understanding of your times.
"Because many--I will say most of you, My children--have given yourselves to your worldly pleasures and seeking and the material, you have lost contact with Us. You do not live in the spirit, you live in the body. You are living bodies with dead souls within you!" - Jesus, December 31, 1976

A LIFE OF PENANCE, ATONEMENT AND SACRIFICE
"I repeat, My children. I dispense among you the greatest of graces, for you are My disciples. And with these graces you will have the power to return errant souls to the fold. Gather My sheep, each one seeking his brother. Go out to the pastures that are rich but filled with poison. Save My sheep from these pastures. Lead them away from the darkness, My children, I ask you, for many tears will be shed upon your earth before long. Approach these days with great hope and live your life in the spirit of light--a life of penance, atonement, and great sacrifice, not only for yourselves, but for your loved ones and others who do not have the grace to save their own souls.
"They need you, My children. And I need you, for I love you as the Father. We expect the return of each of you to Us. Do not turn your back on Our path, for it's very difficult, My children, when you go too far off the path." - Jesus, December 31, 1972

ENDEAVOR TO LIVE IN THE SPIRIT
"You will find in the future that the more contacts you have with worldly associations, the less spiritual you will feel. Therefore, do not subject yourself to this test. You will endeavor to live in the spirit." - Our Lady, March 18, 1974

"YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH"
"Man in your world, to enter the Kingdom of the Father, you must be reborn in the Spirit. You must turn and reject the world about you that has now been given to satan. You cannot have both. We look upon a world that is plunging fast into deep darkness of spirit.
"The Father has allowed Me, in His mercy, to come to you as a Mediatrix of graces: graces for the asking, graces in abundance." - Our Lady, May 30, 1974

RETURN CHURCH TO STATE OF HOLINESS AND PURITY
"Return My Son's House to the state of holiness and purity. Do not be silent any longer. Discipline--pastors, where is your discipline? You will not count souls by filling your coffers. Daily collections--money changers in the temple!
"The gifts from Heaven that are eternal have no price placed upon them. They are free for the asking. Ask and you will receive, My children.
"My child, there will be many armies strong with the Faith, though not with material gain or even the comforts of the human body. They will live in the spirit, neither seeking the plaudits, the praise of the world nor any worldly gain, accepting a pledge and vow of chastity and piety and poverty. We ask this in reparation for the many foolish maidens who have cast aside at this time their vows when they became the brides of Christ. They cast Him aside, divorced Him from their hearts, and sought the pleasures of the world and mankind." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974

THOSE OF THE WORLD WILL REJECT YOU
"The idol being used in your world to bring about its destruction has a foundation based on worldly gains, the idol being money. For coins will many sell their souls!
"You will accept your trials, My child, without complaint. You must understand, My child, that when you live in the spirit those who are of the world will reject you. When you have chosen the road of the spirit you must place an armor of strength against the mockery of the world. The opinion of mankind must not slow your work, My child.
"Man, even man in My Son's House, Church, has found the way to rationalize his sin. There is no rationalization, My children, for sin! For sin will bring about the death of your soul. Your soul is immortal, but when I speak of the death of your soul, I mean its fall to satan and its banishment into the eternal fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 6, 1974

"ONE OR THE OTHER YOU MUST CHOOSE"
"Do not be concerned of the knowledge of the world. Do not concern yourselves, My children, of the acceptance of mankind in your world. I have given you the knowledge in the past that in order to follow the narrow road to Heaven, you must be different. You cannot be of your world, earth, and in the spirit. One or the other you must choose. The world of the spirit has nothing in common with the world of man. For satan is directing the course and actions of mankind, for he does not call to the Holy Spirit to guide him.
"Sad to say, My child, only a few will be counted in the final count. Many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. This agent celestial that will be used by the Father is already on its course to your earth." - Our Lady, March 29, 1975

EACH INDIVIDUAL GIVEN THE CHOICE
"You all--each individual soul still living upon earth will be given the choice to join the Kingdom of the Father, or surrender himself to satan and the kingdom of the prince of darkness and damnation and sorrow, and forever lost.
"As We go throughout the world, My children, We see many who are called 'dead.' Better that they die in the body and be cleansed of the soul than to live in the body and die in the spirit. What does it befit a man, nor benefit a man, if he gains the riches of the whole world and bargains and gives away his soul to satan?" - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

MESSAGE WILL EXPOSE THEIR ERROR
"My children, you must retire now from a world that has been given to satan. You must live now in the spirit. You must be in the world, but not of the world.
    "The major downfall in the House of God lies with the fact, My child, that the pastors prefer worldly living with world treasures, never counting the merits needed to enter the eternal Kingdom of God the Father. These merits are not gained by your gatherings of world treasures. They come from your heart. These hearts of Our pastors have been hardened. Their ears are clogged, My child; they do not listen. Their eyes are blinded, not seeing the miracles We send to open them.
    "Pastors, do you reject the Message from Heaven because you fear it? Or do you prefer to ignore it because it will expose your error?
    "Pride! False pride, My children, is the downfall of many. Cast aside this worldly pride! You have only one to face when you come over the veil: it is the judgment of the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, October 6, 1975

"DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR SOUL"
"Do not surrender your soul for honor and glory of your world, a temporary state of honor and glory that you must discard when you come over the veil. You will stand before the Eternal Father in judgment with nothing of worldly nature or value, but only what you have stored for your entrance into the Kingdom.
"You must then, My children, live in the spirit. You must live in your world but not be of the world, for the world now has been given to satan. The world will discard you, reject you, scorn you because you are not of the world. They will not understand your words, and laugh, be derisive, because you are speaking a language foreign to them, for you are speaking a language of the spirit, My child and My children. Therefore, you will not be affected by being called different or even, scornfully, crazy, for, My children, whatever the world will call you--accept the cross, for We are waiting with Our arms extended to receive you when your mission is finished." - Our Lady, April 17, 1976

SEEK PURSUITS OF THE SPIRIT
"My children of the world, listen and learn by the Message from Heaven. The time is growing very short. You will keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world. The power of prayer is great. Bring the knowledge of the truth of faith and tradition to your brothers and sisters. Plant the seed, nourish it with truth, and it will grow!
"My Mother will continue to counsel you in the days ahead. You must persevere, and when you feel yourself weaken you must repeat over and over again: My Jesus, my confidence! You must live now in the spirit. Take yourself away from the wiles of the world of satan. Seek pursuits of the spirit.
"You will not be an outcast. My own will know Me, and they will gather. You cannot serve God and the world, for you will soon grow and learn to hate one and love the other. And woe to the man who loves his worldly possessions so that he rejects his Faith and sells his soul to get to the head!" - Jesus, May 3, 1978

RICHES ARE THE RUINATION OF MANY SOULS
"I cannot promise you a life of joy, peace, or prosperity in materialism upon earth, My children. Were it different I should permit it. But it has been a proven fact, My children, that riches have been the ruination of many souls. Therefore, you will all be cared for in the spirit." - Jesus, May 13, 1978

"YOU MUST MAKE YOUR CHOICE NOW"
"My children, I could go on and on, repeating and adding to the offenses against your God that are being committed daily in your lifetimes. Needless to say, sin is insanity; and the world's peoples will look askance--I say, My children, many will look askance at the developments as time goes on. All who are living will soon envy the dead, for sin is truly insanity.
"This sin has now encroached upon the clergy in My Son's House, His Church. A great measure of responsibility has been given to them to save and guide the sheep. The pastures are rich, but the sheep grow thin! They are not being fed spiritual food.
"The world must not reject the knowledge of the supernatural and the spirit. The world is of the flesh and the devil! My children, you must make your choice now: Will you be of the world, the flesh, and the devil, or can you live in the spirit for the short time given, left for mankind." - Our Lady, August 5, 1978

A WAY OF LIFE
"If you pray more, you will learn to love prayer. It will become a way of life that you cannot turn from, for it will give you something that you have never found in the world." - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

PRAY CONSTANTLY
"I have asked you in the past to refrain from rebuilding My Church into a church for man. I am the foundation! I have set down the rules. And of all the disobedient cries, of disobedience against My little ones, it is you who are disobedient to your God! It is you who have been disobedient to the Vicars I sent to you! And it is you who have murder in your heart!
    "My children, My little ones, do not be afeared by My words. I speak to My pastors. But pray for them.
    "My children, Lucifer has set much woe upon the earth and in Rome, but I want you, My children, to understand that all will be good for those of well spirit. These days that are upon you were looked forward for in the hearts of many past saints now in Heaven with Us. But from this era many latter day saints shall come forth.
    "My children, go forward in the days ahead with patience, with hope, with charity in your heart. Pray constantly. The prayers do not have to be typed nor read, but speak from your heart in the spirit.
    "There is much confusion and chaos set upon the world by Lucifer, but if you understand--if you understand, My clergy, that Lucifer is now upon earth with his agents, you will understand why many have become blinded. The power of satan is great." - Jesus, October 6, 1978
