POINT #24 (YOU AND JESUS ALONE)
FOR RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

Reflection for the 5:00 AM Hour
Jesus is placed in prison, bound to a column, immobilized, and smeared with spittle and mud. He searches for my soul to cleanse Him and keep Him company. Am I happy to be alone with Jesus, or do I seek the company of others? Is Jesus my only breath and my only heartbeat?
If I hold everything that is inside of me—sorrows, irritations—as if they were my own, I will never be alone with Jesus. I must hold what surrounds me and even the creatures, as if they belonged to Jesus, that they may surround Him like a retinue; on the other hand, if I hold them as if they concerned me, I will never be alone with Jesus. That is why I must lay everything, both interior and exterior, that concerns me around Jesus to keep Him company, and I shall be satisfied only with Jesus. May Jesus be my only breath, my only heartbeat.

Dear Divine Will Family,
I am so sorry this Point 24 is late coming to you. Our Easter weekend was so busy, and tiring that I am just now getting this compilation of being alone with Jesus organized! Please forgive me.

Living in the Divine Will is all about giving up self and being alone with Jesus! This should be our LIFE and all that we strive for so that we can live deeply in the Divine Will! What would be the use of striving to live in the Divine Will of God if it was all about ourselves and not about God alone? It seems so difficult for us to give up ourselves, our wants, our preferences, our desires and put God and His Glory and His Kingdom first! Remember, Jesus told Luisa that this is not about our own sanctification, but about the sanctification of all souls, universally and trans-temporally! Jesus concerns Himself with our sanctification, if we but do as He tells us and we certainly cannot sanctify ourselves! I think many times of what Mary said at the Wedding at Cana, “Just do what He tells you!”

We cannot give up our family and friends as they were put in our lives for a reason, for us to be that person who will draw them to life in the Will of God! But life in the Divine Will and Jesus alone must come first in all circumstances and in all times! Continue reading “”

GLORIOUS EASTER TO ALL!!

HE HAS RISEN, HE IS ALIVE!!
HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS!

Dear Divine Will Family,
I wonder how many people really understand and appreciate the glorious and magnificent grace we have been offered by God. Reading these excerpts below really helps me understand the enormity of this Gift of Living in the Divine Will and the power, love and wisdom which comes with this Gift. I have to quote one small excerpt which helped me revere this Gift with all my heart, mind and soul!

“One more act done in My Will means that God incorporates Himself into the soul and vice versa. A mutual indwelling takes place in which one’s life flows into the other’s like blood flowing through veins. It is the merging of man’s heartbeat in the Eternal heartbeat. The soul feels within herself—as if it were her own life—the love, sanctity, and life of her Creator—while the Eternal One feels the soul’s little love flow through Him, and as it lives within Him it forms one single love and one single Will with His. Each breath, throb and movement is like a wound—an arrow or dart of love—that the soul gives to her Creator. All of Heaven is amazed as it looks at God and finds the soul fused in Him, loving with His love—and with victorious love. Heaven looks down at the soul on earth and finds her Creator there, and although God makes His throne within her, He shares His life with her.
Is there any other Gift offered to mankind that can say this about their relationship with God, their Creator and Savior?

POINT #25 (THINKING OF THE PASSION) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

MAY OUR HOLY THURSDAY COMPASSIONATE
OUR DEAR LORD IN HIS SUFFERING
AT GETHSEMANE WITH HIS WILL!

Dear Divine Will Family,
Please don’t panic!! I know I have skipped Point #24, but this Point seemed more appropriate for Holy Thursday. For Good Friday, I want to focus on Point #30, “Recognizing the Immense Value of One’s Cross!” That Point seems very appropriate for Good Friday. I will get back to the others after Easter.

I don’t know how many are reading the “Twenty-Four Hours of the Passion of our Lord, Jesus Christ,” daily, but this book should be read on a daily basis. The promises associated with this book are phenomenal! Jesus promised several things for those who enter into His Holy Will to read it. Not only do you save a soul for every word read and the book contains 35,000 words, but in the areas where it is read, all chastisements would be lessen!

Kathy and I just experienced that phenomenon here in our area of Tennessee. We have had some very serious storms in the past few days, but here in little Jacksboro, we hardly realize it…no loss of electricity, and we slept like a baby with this storms going through our area! God is also phenomenal in His promises and never lets you down, if you are doing what He ask.

The other benefit is the sanctity of our souls. The more we read and compassionate Jesus in His sufferings, the more we can identify with Him, and the more sanctified we become. It also protects us from all evil! You know demons cannot come around as long as we are reading about Jesus in His sufferings and identifying with Him!! Of course, life in the Divine Will protects us as well. That doesn’t mean we can’t sin…because we will always have a free will! We must at every minute suppress our human wills from doing their own thing.

Please enjoy the reading below about the Passion of Jesus. There are some incredible insights in these writings. Absolutely beautiful! All praise, honor, love and glory to our Thrice Holy God!

I do pray your Holy Thursday will be the holiest ever! Let us focus as much as humanly possible on the Passion of Jesus to give Him compassion, love and immense and eternal gratitude for all that He suffered for us. Without His Life, Death and Resurrection, there would be NO Gift of living in the Divine Will.
We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers! Please keep us in yours! May God allow us the immense grace of truly recognizing Jesus’ suffering for His Father’s glory and for His Kingdom to come!

Ann Ellison

POINT #23 (VISUALIZING JESUS WITHIN US) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

MAY YOUR HOLY WEEK BE FILLED WITH GOD
AND ALL HE CONTAINS!

Dear Divine Will Family,
I am praying for everyone’s Holy Week this year. I pray it will be the holiest ever experienced by you. Divine Mercy Sunday may very well be the most important you will ever have as well. Reading and watching all that is going on out there, we may in for a very serious year! I am definitely not trying to cause fear in anyone…no one living in the Divine Will should have fear of anything or anyone! We are living IN God and He is living IN us…whom should we fear?? I would like to see everyone fully prepared, as well as their families.

It seems that many of the “good times” are gone and we are facing extremely evil spirits whose only goal is to destroy as many souls as possible. And it is terrifying to watch so many souls falling for the spirit of evil. There’s a prophecy that says during the end times, what is good will appear bad and what is bad will appear as good. That is exactly what we are witnessing today.

God created us to be here at this time in history! Why, some ask. I believe it is to save as many souls as possible. We have the power; we have Jesus within us to save millions of souls. I also believe that God expects this of us. He only has His faithful to help Him save souls! I don’t want to disappoint Him, nor face Him with my actions if I am not helping.

POINT #22 (RECEPTACLES) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

HAPPY BELATED PALM SUNDAY!!
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!!

Dear Divine Will Family,
Receptacles!! That is what we want to become…empty receptacles so God can fill us with Himself, and with all that He possesses, as much as a creature’s disposition will allow. How deeply we live in the Divine Will depends on our disposition and cooperation with the graces from Our Lady. Remember, Our Heavenly Mother is all that God is by grace, and She wants so badly for us to imitate Her. Of course, our graces would be to an infinitely smaller degree than that of the Mother of God, and our Mother! Isn’t it incredible that we have such a Mother in Heaven who loves us so much and would do anything to help us sanctify our souls for the glory of the Thrice Holy God! All we have to do is cooperate! So much easier said than done….how well I understand that! But, I believe She really looks at the desire of our hearts and souls, realizing that we do strive to be who God created us to be, but looking at our weaknesses and our lowliness, and feeling so sorry for us, She helps us even more! We are so very, very blessed to have such a Mother!

POINT #21 (Giving One’s Acts) for
RAPID GROWTH IN THE DIVINE WILL

HAPPY AND WONDERFUL SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION AND THE INCARNATION OF OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!!

Dear Divine Will Family,
This seems like a given. We can’t live in the Divine Will if we are not giving our human will, from where all our human acts are formed, to the Divine Will so that our human acts can be transformed into Divine Acts, into God’s Acts; and where all our human acts are animated by the Divine Will with the cooperation of our human will.

As usual, Jesus can certainly explain it much better than I can. Please read below the magnificent explanations by Jesus. Also read how difficult it is to leave the Divine Will, once you have firmly, sincerely and with all your heart entered into It. You have to want to leave It with the same intensity that you entered It, except for sin…that takes you out immediately!

We love you all so very much and keep each of you in our daily prayers. May God never allow you to leave His Holy Will in any way, especially through sin, and may He bless you and yours keep you safe from all harm!

Ann Ellison

PS: Below is some writings about Our Lady”s and Our Lord’s great feast day! I am sorry I could not send out something earlier about this most wonderful Solemnity, but I had to go to the emergency room, but I am fine. God is so good!! And we were invited out tonight, which we (Kathy and I) promised a week ago, so I am so far behind! Please forgive me again!
