You belong to a kingdom that has no end.
Message From Jesus: To the Little Apostle of the True Faith on 04/23/2024
JESUS:
Beloved of My Heart,
Know that you have been chosen, called to belong to a kingdom that has no end. Rejoice, for you are invited to the eternal banquet of My love! Be prepared to witness the joy of My return. Live for your Creator and understand the signs and events of the last days that I have spoken about. These signs are not to be feared but to awaken you to the reality of My presence in the world and in your lives .
Be vigilant, observing the signs of the times, but do not become consumed with the desire to know the exact hour of My return. For it is written: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone”. Instead, live in joyful expectation, knowing that you are chosen and called to inherit the eternal kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world.
Look forward with hope to the paradise where the Lord of all reigns in glory, where there will be no more tears, suffering, or death. In this eternal communion with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, you will experience the fullness of peace and joy.
Live each day in readiness, faithful to My teachings, and always in prayer, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Let your hearts be filled with love, and let your actions reflect My divine will. When I return, I desire to find you prepared, adorned in holiness, and united with Me in eternal communion.
