Selected Extract No. 35

I Do Not Live in Noise; You Will Find Me in Silence

From The Door to Heaven Extract #58
27-Oct-96
The Lord
DH-58

My Daughter, you are not alone. I am in your soul, in your spirit. Sometimes you feel lonely, because I take everything from you so that there can be no mistake in the interpretation of My Words.

You do not know how good it is that you turn toward Me, for Me to have you. And it is in the silence of your heart where you will mostly find Me. I do not live in noise, in confusion; you can find Me in silence.

I want to talk to you about the importance of silence and humbleness of heart. Let us start with silence. A silent heart has been stripped of the excitement of feelings in the presence of My Spirit. Thus, this Spirit fashions the soul, elevated in such a way as to worship God... Therefore, it is a silent soul, concentrated on its God. I have told you that blessed are the clean of heart, because they will see God. When your entire person - particularly your heart - is in silence, you can see God everywhere because your heart is pure.

If men would calm their minds, they would worship Me and follow Me, and seeking My Way they could become saints, My saints... I want all My children to look for and follow My Way with pureness of heart. I am not keeping or hiding anything from you.

This is why, My children, you must silence your inmost being, silence your heart and you will see Me. I give you all My being and I want all your being, though I am not forcing you, because My Love and the fruit of My Love is at your service. The fruit of this service is the silence of My Heart; I am the murmur, the soft, cold breeze that refreshes your anguished soul. Silence your hearts and live in My faith.

Be united always and avoid arguments, because he who is with Me cannot be against Me. I am the Light, I am the Word incarnated.

Give Me the silence of your heart and I will turn it into a clean, pure heart, a heart that lives with its God, that sees its God.

EXTRACT ENDS…

EDITOR’S NOTE: Through the rest of 2002, Scoop will be publishing a series of daily reflections on spiritual matters from Bolivian author Katya Rivas. Rivas, has received an official imprimatur from the Catholic Church for several books she says she was instructed to write by Jesus Christ, Mary and various Angels. Scoop’s extract, above, comes from Rivas’s book “The Door to Heaven”. In 1999 Katya Rivas was the subject of a top-rating documentary show hosted by Mike Willessee (see Scoop TV review - Jesus Christ Tells FOXNews He Wants To Hug World and Scoop Images ). More recently Rivas says she was instructed by Jesus to have her books translated and published on the internet with the intention of having the books distributed to as wide an audience as possible. Several of the books can now be read online at http://www.greatcrusade.org/, and more are coming soon. In August 2002 Rivas visited Wellington New Zealand and met with Scoop Editor Alastair Thompson.
