Directive from Heaven #214 - Riches, Part 2 given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#214 - Riches, Part 2

“Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.” – St. Matthew 19:23-24

TO BLIND HIM
"Satan will give to mankind all manner of riches to blind him to the spiritual.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1977

A VOID
"My Mother has counseled you well to prepare and protect your households. The hourglass has been turned over several times to give you more time to do penance and take the stigma of sin from your homes, and mankind in general. However, man has sought success and riches and science to console him, and instead, has found a void. And the children of these parents, who have lived without faith and morals, are the major victims. For as they wandered in a life that has been a void to them, they have sought what they did not know in their human reasoning. But the heart and the inborn conscience of God has sent them seeking, but without firm direction--and this direction not coming from not only the parents but the clergy in My House--they have found instead, these poor misguided, misled children, they have found death--death of the body, and death of the soul: death with drugs, death of the soul with pornography, immorality, and the worship of false idols and gods, even consorting with new religions based on humanism and satanism.” – Our Lady, November 20, 1979

CANNOT ACCEPT TWO MASTERS
"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.” – Our Lady, April 9, 1977

ETERNAL TREASURES OF HEAVEN
"The truth has been given into every man's heart by the Father. He has in his will the power, as a human, to accept or reject the truth. He will do this in bargaining for the pleasures and riches of a temporary world, discarding the eternal treasures of Heaven.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1974

LOVERS OF MATERIAL WEALTH
"The world and the spirit have nothing in common. You cannot serve two masters, for you will love one and learn to hate the other. And you, lovers of pleasure and material wealth, gather now all that satan now throws to you, heaps upon you, for you will then receive your just reward. Riches, you pile them up upon your earth. For what? You will leave them all behind and stand naked before your God, stripped naked, baring all of your past and soul. And for what? Because you will have no measure to enter the Kingdom of your God.” – Jesus, December 7, 1976

MEN OF THE CROSS
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?
No--O men of the cross, whatever has happened to you in your profession? You prefer the worldly life of riches and power. You partake of sins of the flesh. You mislead by teaching doctrines of demons. You do not exercise discipline among your own. Better that you have a few with quality than a quantity of nothingness! You will not build in Rome nor in the world a church of man given over to humanism and modernism.” – Our Lady, November 20, 1978

HARDENED THEIR HEARTS
"The warning has come late for many, My child. Others have hardened their hearts and their eyes are blinded, as they have given themselves to the pleasures of the flesh and the riches of the world. Many have sold their souls to get to the head.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1974

VAINGLORY
"Too many, My children, have lost their souls seeking to get to the head. Riches are all vainglory in your world, My children. Power is vainglory, for all is passing fast.” – Our Lady, November 1, 1977

ONLY BY MERIT
"Many have sold their souls to satan to get to hell faster. Many have sold their souls to gain what? Worldly riches and power of temporary nature! What does it gain you if you gather every treasure upon earth and lose your soul? When you leave your body, you will be judged. Every man, woman, and child of conscionable age will be judged. And I tell you now, not one bit of your silver or gold shall buy your way into the Kingdom of Heaven. You will only enter by merit.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1977

DEAD IN THE SPIRIT
"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

SEEKING ANOTHER MASTER
"The Eternal Father waits for you to reverse your ways. The Eternal Father waits for you to restore My House to its former glory. Stop running about seeking another master, while you pile up riches of gold and silver that shall melt in the firmaments; while you gather power--and what power do you have but for the destruction of mankind?” – Jesus, May 14, 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

LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER
"For the love of money and power, My child, many souls have been sold to satan. For the love of money and power, many have misled the sheep. Pastors, shall you stand before My Son and say that your teaching has been pure in His sight? What manner of vile corruption have you set, in your teaching, upon the children?” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

WORLD BARGAINS FOR SOULS
"For money, the world bargains for souls. For money, many shall lose the Faith. For money, many will sell out their trust as pastors. For money, your country and the countries of the world shall bring themselves to the edge of destruction by the promotion of a great War, a war that will affect the lives of every man, woman, and child.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1974

MONEY: A GOD FOR MANY
"You see, My child, the enemy is very cagey. He has it all planned that man shall capitulate to save his body, to save his material goods, to save his money; as money has become the god for many. Money and power--this, My child and My children, is what brings upon the wars, and the killings, and the murders.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1985

LUST FOR MONEY
"There is an octopus, a web of evil now fanning out throughout your world. Political powers, money powers--these have all gathered to bring about the destruction of Christianity. My children, the Luciferians are loose now in great numbers upon your earth. They will work through persons, places, and things. Remember this, My children: persons, places, and things.
"I counseled you in the past, and I wish you all to remember that many will sell their souls to get to the head! It has not been said without direction that money is often the root of all evil. Many in Rome are selling their souls to get to the head. They lust for power, and this power is not for the betterment of mankind but the individual. Arrogance! Arrogance and lust for money, My children.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1978

ILLUMINATI
"Much of your money from the world's capitals arrives in New York. These monies are being gathered to start another war. There is a group in your nation called the Illuminati. They are made up of the major money holders, and for money they have sold their souls and the souls of thousands.” – Jesus, October 1, 1988

MANY HAVE FALLEN
“The evil is widespread throughout your country. Many have fallen because of their love of money and power. It is only those who no longer recognize My Son as their Savior, who no longer recognize their God as being the Eternal Master, it is they who have developed a plan for the destruction of your children and your country.
"You, My child, find upon your earth now a land covered with darkness and evil. The victims of your decadent society are your children, for those are the innocent victims of their elders. Do you not recognize the advent of the Antichrist into your land, your government, your schools, your media, and yes, into My Son's House, Church? Woe to evil man that chooses to sell his soul to Lucifer for worldly gain of such temporary nature.” – Our Lady, December 24, 1971

THE GOD FOR MANY
“You must understand, My child and My children, that satan now has gathered the store of world's riches to give to his agents to promote his cause.
"Money has often, My children, been called the root of all evil, and money shall be the god for many as they bargain with their souls. I repeat again: what do you gain if you gather all of the world's riches and power and come across the veil--as you do, will do, sooner or later? What good will it be for you to come without any graces stored in Heaven? You seek then immediate condemnation in judgment from the Eternal Father. You will be banished, forever lost, to the city of the damned with satan!” – Our Lady, July 25, 1978

YOUR DOWNFALL
“You have a free will to go your own way. Should you fall, you must fall alone. We will not let you take innocent souls with you.
     "You are trading My Son's Home and making it a place of self-gratification for arrogant man who follows after his own lust. Your love of money has been your downfall. Yes, you are misguiding!
     "There will be much suffering for those who stand to defend My Son's House. This can never be destroyed, for the foundation is solid. The foundation is My Son, but many now dishonor Him in His House. Blind man of self-gratification, blind man who pursues after his own heart his lust--you call the hand of the Father heavily upon you!
     "This condition did not arrive overnight, or this year, or two years. This has been well planned." – Our Lady, June 17, 1971

“YOU HAVE IDOLIZED MONEY”
“You will not cast aside the truth of Faith and set up a faith based on the immorality of man. No! You will retain the Faith and Tradition as given to you, not making changes that cater to the basic carnal nature of mankind. You are misleading Our sheep. Pray! Get down on your knees now and pray! You will gain nothing by socializing. You have idolized money and become money changers in My Son's houses!
"My Son shall fling you out of the temples again. Moneychangers in the houses of God! Destroyers of the Truth! Turn back now, for your judgment will be far greater than those given to an ordinary man, for you as a priest of God have been chosen by the Father to represent My Son. And as such, your judgment for misleading and denying the basic truth of your Faith will be far greater!” – Our Lady, October 6, 1974

ENSLAVEMENT
"O My children, you do not recognize the signs of your times. You do not understand the enslavement that is fast coming upon your nation and the world. Because of the love of money and power, many have sold their souls to get to the head. There are cries of peace and security going throughout all the nations of the world. As these cries go forth, farther away do you proceed from this peace and security, for there cannot be any security or peace without My Son as the leader, your God.
"There are many theologians, even in My Son's House now, that are bringing to mankind doctrines of demons. They are teachings of man and not of God. Many have set themselves in their arrogance to change the wordings in the Book of love and life, the Bible. These changes were to seduce mankind into bondage of sin.
"My children, do you not recognize that the masses of the world are converging upon your nation, the United States? With money, they are entering and bringing with them all manner of sin and perversion--immorality and homosexuality. And who will come forward to fight these evils?” – Our Lady, June 2, 1979

MONEY CHANGERS
"Pastors in the House of God, We have been watching and finding you wanting. How many warnings shall you receive as you conduct yourselves and your sheep like pagans in the House of prayer? You are setting up money changers in My House, and I shall cleanse them again!
"No man shall defile the House of God. No man shall use this House for self gain. All that is rotten shall fall!” – Jesus, October 6, 1975

SEDUCED
"Souls are being exchanged for pieces of silver. Judases gather about your Vicar--Judases within the House of God! They have attained great power through the love of money. They have been seduced by the love of money and power. The Father permits them to carry out their plan only until the scale is unbalanced and iniquity has reached its highest point, and they shall be destroyed.” – Our Lady, December 31, 1972

ABORTION
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young! Abortion, My children, is murder, and as murderers you will receive a just judgment and punishment.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1978

FALSE IDOLS
"Man shall not create a new world as he seeks. For there cannot be a lasting world without His God. And I speak not of the false idols and gods that man creates in his human nature! There is only one Creator.
"You who cast aside this knowledge and choose to set yourselves up by power and the gathering of the world's money to control the masses, you will find that all of your power and all of your volumes of gold and silver cannot hold back the heavens as they descend upon you in a just chastisement. The world, the earth shall tremble; fear shall come upon mankind as he watches the approach of the destruction that he himself has chosen to set loose.” – Jesus, February 10, 1978

SEEKING POWER AND MONEY
"I have told you, counseled you in the past, that sin is insanity. Your world and its people are involved--they walk as on a treadmill, seeking power and money and material goods and pleasure. And they go round and about, never stopping as the world plunges faster to the abyss.” – Our Lady, August 4, 1979

MUCH PROSPERITY
“Don't be taken up with things of the world, so that your children must go and find their pleasures elsewhere; for they will fall into the hands of the walking demons. They prowl the highways. They go through the streets of the cities, looking for the young and the gullible, and those who have no homes. Your country, the United States, has been graced with much prosperity, My children. Therefore, you must take it upon yourselves to guard your children by having proper education for them, and also homes for those without a proper home. There is much money in your country and Canada that can be usefully used for the salvation of these children.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1987

SHORT DURATION
"My Mother has gone throughout the world to try to stop the carnage that man is making upon other nations. Brother against brother, sister against sister. For what? What is there to gain if you lose your soul? Murder is a sin that is not condoned in Heaven nor upon earth; therefore, why must you murder and kill your brothers? For what? For money? For social standing? For gain? And what is that but a passing fancy. For this is a world where man passes through but for a short duration. Your real life is over the veil. That is when your life begins. You are all pilgrims upon earth, going forward to honor your God and I should say that many dishonor Him now, even in His own Church upon earth.” – Jesus, October 2, 1987

“A HUMBLE LESSON”
"My child, I have a humble lesson to give to your world. If you are to follow My Son and stay on the road that leads to the Kingdom, you must divest yourself of all desire for worldly embellishments. You must desire to strip your being of all worldly vanity and pride. You owe nothing, My children, to any human being but to bring him the example of a living Christ. The love of riches has destroyed many--the destruction of friend to friend, and brother to brother, and sister to sister for the love of money and riches; but saddest of all, the destruction of the soul." – Our Lady, December 24, 1972
