Directive from Heaven #661 - Light has Nothing in Common with Darkness given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#660 - You Cannot Have Both (the World and Heaven)

"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." - St. Matthew 6: 24

"YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH"
"Already the words of My messengers are being spread throughout the earth. Already I send you signs that you do not recognize. When you all meet with the destruction, it will only be your choice.
"You will keep your Rosary about your neck. You will continue to pray that the evil one does not enter your house. You must turn your back to material things of your world, or you cannot enter Ours. For you cannot have both. I do not expect you to live in poverty, but to recognize better you have poverty of the body than poverty of your soul." - Jesus, July 25, 1971

MANY HAVE SOLD THEIR SOULS
"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 ROAD FILLED WITH THORNS
"You, My child, will continue your mission under the direction of the Father. As you fight your way through the darkness of the world, you will remain on the narrow road. It will be a road filled with thorns. We cannot promise you a life of great happiness and approval in your world. But, My child, is this what you want? You cannot have both. But I assure you, give up the world and remain dedicated to the work given to you and your reward will be great in Heaven. Do not be swayed or grow grieved by the judgment of mankind upon you, for as they judged My Son, so will you receive the same. Only those who listen to Our direction shall recognize the signs of the times." - Our Lady, July 25, 1974

"I GIVE YOU FAIR WARNING, O SHEPHERDS"
"I tell you as the vinedresser: all that is rotten shall be shaken from the vine. The reaper will go in the harvest, and ye, all of you who have corrupted the sheep, shall be judged and gathered in the harvest and thrown into the fires!
"I give you fair warning, O shepherds in My House, I have looked upon you and found you wanting! I have looked upon you and wait with great patience for you to recover from the insanity that has been set into your minds and your hearts! Man of science ever seeking and never finding the truth! And what is truth, My children, you ask? Truth is life, and life is the light. Darkness is death! Satan is death! You cannot have both!
"My children, the war of the spirits continues. The ultimate victory will be with Heaven, but We cry great tears of anguish knowing that many shall fall to the wayside being corrupted by those in authority." - Jesus, August 5, 1977

A GREAT WAR
"My child, peace, peace, the world cries for peace. There will be no peace upon your world until they recognize My Son as their Savior. Treachery and deceit lies in the hearts of men. Your country and the world lies in a quagmire of evil. There will come upon your world a great War. Do not be deceived by your medias of communication, for you do not receive the truth.
"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

PASTORS ON WRONG PATH WILL EXPOSE THEMSELVES
"When you come before Me, the Eternal Father, and the Spirit, you will be judged. If you are found lukewarm, neither being hot nor cold, I will vomit you from My mouth and cast you into the fires of eternal damnation! You cannot play the middle road, My pastors! You cannot mislead My sheep by giving in to the values of man! You must not change--you must not trade your soul and bargain for your world. No man can have both, the world and the spirit.
"When the world and My churches throughout your world are united, know that the end is at hand! The Eternal Father will not have the world come into His House, for the flesh and the devil have nothing in common with the spirit. Take yourselves away from this error of damnation, desecration, abominations! You who know you are following the path to perdition, come out of your darkness now! I do not have to give your names in trust to Our messengers throughout the world. In charity, I do not expose you before the nations. However, the time will come when you will expose yourselves before the nations.
"The world and My Church will not unite as one, for there is nothing in common with flesh and the devil!" - Jesus, May 17, 1975

NOT BENDING YOUR KNEE FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE
"Cardinals and bishops, you run to and fro, experimenting with your own human reasoning, neither asking nor bending your knee for Divine guidance. For you have become blinded by the pleasures of the flesh, seeking worldly gain; and many are selling their souls to get to the head. Again I say unto you as your Mother--in the words of My Son I repeat to you: what does it gain a man if he gather all of the riches of the world and you--lose his place in the Eternal Kingdom of his God. You cannot have both!
"My child and My children, you will continue to send the Message from Heaven throughout the world. You must continue to pray for your clergy, your bishops, your cardinals, and especially My poor children, My poor wandering sheep. My Son's heart is torn for you, as the Eternal Father even weeps for the just punishment that will be soon sent upon you." - Our Lady, October 2, 1979

"YOU WILL NOT HAVE BOTH"
"I gave my life upon earth as a child. My little way was a way of love. True love seeks no self-gratification, but the well-being of the beloved. It is only in giving that you shall receive.
"All must now retire from your world that has been given to satan. You will not have both. You must now pick up the cross and carry it. Only in this way will you stay on the road. It is a narrow road, and when you leave, it is difficult to find the way back.
"The direction to the Kingdom has been given to you all the duration of life on your earth. It is a simple plan of love. You do not offend and hurt those you love; so why have you chosen to offend and hurt Jesus and our Mother, Mary?" - St. Theresa, March 25, 1973

"MAKE YOUR CHOICE NOW"
"Retire from this world of satan. Wear your sacramentals, and have great hopes that one day the trials will be over. As you choose your side, be sure that you do not take the wide road which leads to your damnation.
"Make your choice now, for your time is very limited. Sacrifice now for My Son, and you will receive the greatest of rewards. You cannot have both. You will not be rich on this earth and store up your riches in Heaven. You must be poor on this earth, and therefore gather your graces for Heaven.
"I am not stating that all should discard their earthly living, My children. Man must work for his daily bread. But I do say you will not lose your souls for the desire of riches and your body pamperings. Your body is but a shell for the spirit, and your spirit is eternal. Remember this!" - Our Lady, August 14, 1972

"YOU MUST BE DIFFERENT"
"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

GIVEN THE CHOICE
"You are now being separated as sheep from the goats by trial. It is the way of the Father that cannot be understood by man. The world and the spirit are not compatible, My child.
"Your world, earth and the inhabitants of earth, are now fighting the battle against satan. Your world has been given to satan for a short duration.
"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." - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

MAKE TIME FOR QUIET MEDITATION
"You will go forward, My child, with perseverance and trust in the providence of the Father. You will be directed if you do not fall from your prayers. You must make time in your busy schedule for quiet meditation. Make it a habit, My child, to repeat to your brothers and sisters that they must wear the sacramentals given as their armor through the years.
    "Penance, My children, the world must do heavy penance. You must keep in heart that you cannot have the world and the Kingdom of God. For you will love one and reject the other. The world and the Kingdom of the Father are not companionable. When you are not of the light you will love the world, but if you reject the world you will find the light.
    "You, My child, must learn a simple lesson. If you are given your reward upon earth, what have you to look forward to in the Kingdom? Do your work, My child, in secret so that the Father Who sees you in secret shall reward you. It is only the human frailty of pride that makes man seek recognition. Yes, My child, pride is a sin. Mortification--this, My child, will be sent to you for reason. Soon you will thirst for mortification, for only in this manner will you retrieve the souls.
    "I place, My child, your hand in Mine, knowing that I protect you in the days ahead. I place My blue mantle over all My children. What is there to fear but fear? Face fear, My child, and it will soon disappear." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

VERONICA WILL UNDERGO GREAT PERSECUTION FROM HER OWN
"My child, man must now take himself from the world which is in full control of satan. His reign will be short, but he is working night and day. Know, My child, that he never sleeps.
    "You will find, My child, many who will turn from you as the thorns become more numerous. However, know that We have gathered Our own about you, those who are destined to come to the victorious climax and the establishment of the Kingdom of the Father upon your earth.
    "Persevere; wear your sacramentals; guard the souls of those you love. Keep the Faith in the hearts of those you love. You cannot have the world, your world on earth, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
    "Know, My child, that you will undergo great persecution, persecution from your own. You will understand, My child, in time, that the Father sets a great test upon those He has chosen for special mission." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

NO PEACE UNTIL WORLD RECOGNIZES JESUS AS THE SAVIOR
"My child, peace, peace, the world cries for peace. There will be no peace upon your world until they recognize My Son as their Savior. Treachery and deceit lies in the hearts of men. Your country and the world lies in a quagmire of evil. There will come upon your world a great War. Do not be deceived by your medias of communication, for you do not receive the truth.
    "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.
    "I stand now on turbulent waters with My Son. The bark of Peter flounders in dark waters, but My Son is watching this battle. I have, My children, My hand on the helm." - Our Lady, May 30, 1974

A VALE OF TEARS
"Life, My child, is but a pilgrimage for all, a vale of tears. You cannot have happiness, sublime happiness upon your earth, for then you will not be following the way of the cross. Life is but a vale of tears, but with these tears you will wash your soul.
"Persevere, My children, in the days ahead. The attacks from satan will be great, but recognize them and pray him out with a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975

DOES NOT WISH TO FACE THE TRUTH
"Brides of Christ in Our convents, whatever shall become of you? You know neither discipline nor love of suffering for souls. You adorn yourselves with all things of your world. You strip yourselves of graces needed for your salvation and the salvation of your brothers and sisters. You shall not, in your vocation, compromise your Faith. You cannot have worldly gain, worldly acknowledgement, and still enter into the Kingdom of eternal life.
"My child, in the great trial ahead in My Son's House, Church on earth, there shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan has set himself in their midst.
"My warnings at Fatima were cast aside as they are being cast aside now, My children. It is a failing of human nature, My child, that that which does not give pleasure to the carnal nature of man is not accepted. Man shall blind himself to the truth, as he does not wish to face the truth. And those who seek to bring him the truth are cast aside and do much penance, My child." - Our Lady, September 13, 1975

RE-EVALUATE YOUR LIFE
"The way to Heaven is a simple road, but you must be imitators of My Son. You cannot have the world and its riches and acclaimance and Heaven too. You cannot accept two masters in your life, for one you will love, and the other, the other you will grow to hate.
"Many of you have used your God-given sense to turn away from the light because you do not pray; you cast aside God-given knowledge to you, willing, in your human nature, to close your hearts and your ears.
"My children, you do not learn from your past. It is pride and vanity that sets man away from his God. Life upon your earth is but a short duration for all. Think, My children, think while you have the time to think. Evaluate and re-evaluate your life. Cast aside the worthless, cast aside all that can only be kept upon your lifetime on earth. Are you storing any merits in Heaven for your entrance? Each and every one of you, My children, must come across the veil, the veil that will be taken from your eyes when you approach immortality." - Our Lady, April 9, 1977

CHILDREN ARE VICTIMS OF YOUR LAXITY
"My children, your children, parents, are the victims now of your laxity. They are the victims of their elders. All foul manner of acts are being taught them in their schools, in their secret societies. And why? Because you as parents are too lax in your duty. You flitter to and fro looking for pleasures and gathering the materials of your world. And for what? For I shall soon make them as naught, nothing.
"My children, there is no honor among thieves, those who rob the light from your souls. My children, your country, the United States, has given itself to satan--corruption and evil, defilements in the home, corruption in your government!
"My children, understand: you cannot have two masters. One you will love and the other you will hate. Has My Son become now hated in your world, one to be mocked and scorned anew? Has My Son's Church met now with a new ruler? Have you torn down My Son's Church and erected one of man? Yea, I say unto you: Your time is short." - Our Lady, November 1, 1977

"THEY DO NOT COINCIDE"
"Do not follow the scoffers who continue to say, 'His promise has not and will not come true, to return in the Second Coming.' I assure you I shall come to you all as a thief in the night. Little will you be prepared unless you listen to My Mother's counsel and keep your heart open for the truth. The more you seek riches in this life, the less you will have in Heaven, for they do not coincide, My child and My children. You cannot have a god, symbolized by money, before you, for you will love one and hate the other. And whom will you hate, My children, but Me?" - Jesus, September 7, 1985

"YOU CANNOT HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH"
"My child and My children, it has come to Us in Heaven that so few are reading their Bible. How, My children, if you do not seek the truth, shall you find it? From others? No, this cannot be. We have left with you all a testimony of truth, the Bible of life and love. Mankind must read his Bible, or he shall be lost in the world. He shall go to and fro, hinder and yon, seeking peace and tranquility, but never finding it.
"I could bring to you a truth, My children, a truth that goes by unnoticed: that you cannot have Heaven on earth, or you could not share in Heaven in Heaven, My child. I offer you a key to the Kingdom, My child and My children. All you have to do is seek and you shall find the truth. I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children. There is reason for that, which I shall not go into this evening.
"Our hearts are torn asunder here in Heaven. The saints cry out, 'When will justice be meted to mankind? How long, O Lord of Lords, must we wait for the return of the good souls to Heaven? Seeing them crucified on earth makes our hearts grow heavy. How long, O Lord,' the saints cry, 'shall this carnage be permitted?' My child and My children, by now if you have only read a portion of My Mother's travels and Her words to the world, you will have an idea how much time is left." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
