June 5, 2020 – Prayer is your friend, not a chore

"Children, I want you to succeed in your efforts towards personal holiness. Prayer is your friend, not a chore. It is prayer which brings you closer to Me. It is prayer which repels Satan’s efforts to discourage you"

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

Holy Love - Heart of God the Father“Children, I want you to succeed in your efforts towards personal holiness. Prayer is your friend, not a chore. It is prayer which brings you closer to Me. It is prayer which repels Satan’s efforts to discourage you. So much in the world would never take place if hearts were given over to prayer. In the same light, many good things would occur if prayer was the guiding force in thought, word and deed. As it is, people act without listening to Me or considering My Commandments. There are often bitter consequences to such actions. Often, the response to sin is more sin. My Heart sorrows when I look upon the choices which man makes – choices which alter the future of the world. I desire to welcome into My embrace all of mankind. For that reason, I continue to come here* to remind you to obey My Commandments in every present moment. This is My Will for you.”

Read 1 John 3:23-24+

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
