This is Day 1 of Truth of the Spirit’s Daily Prophetic Words to Prepare the Way of the Lord—Advent Pearls on Sunday of the First Week of Advent. I am Patti Brunner. Playlist: Daily Advent Pearls
The Lord says: “You need to stay connected to Me in prayer. My Son Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to your side, and you must fully receive Him. Listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit insures our presence in you fully every day. The Lord says: Do not let the “obligation” fool you. It is not that I need your attention but that you need mine. Too many of my servants have lost touch by becoming too busy to listen to their God and thus they spend much time ‘lost’.”

The Lord says: My Child, the delights of the Kingdom are yours as you enter my Presence through the grace given—my Most Holy Spirit.
Seek to dwell not upon those who remain in the shadows—fear, pain, lethargy, lack of knowledge and even rejection keeps them at bay from my fullness.
The Lord says: The smallest request for my Presence will provide permission of your freewill for me to enter.
Each sacrament is designed to pour out tremendous graces on those who ask by stepping forward to receive. Woundedness, Unforgiveness, Anger, Disobedience each limit my grace—even to the point of no benefit. The heart most closed is the lukewarm heart who only goes through the motions of receiving the sacraments ‘for show’. One of the main reasons that marriages are in trouble today is that they (Sacrament of Marriage) were given to people in the state of sin with unrepentant hearts.
Holy Eucharist is meant to be the most intimate of all the encounters with God on earth: To become one with the Living God. My Bride has taken other lovers and thus brings filth to receive my precious gift. What other lovers? What distracts you? What sinful barriers are like a contraceptive to our union? Are you full of judgment against others?
The Lord asks: How many of my children avoid the fruitful encounter of Reconciliation? How many make it a ‘quickie encounter’ of a rote list of sins repeated each year instead of truly opening your heart to be vulnerable with Me. Cannot you see how I long to forgive You and take Your repentance and cleanse you with My grace to purify your heart that I might be one with You without any reserve? Only my encounter with you in Baptism allows light to come to darkness and dissipates it—but the grace, if it is cast aside for sin or forgotten by not allowing the metanoia to take place becomes an encounter of sorrow rather than the glory that is intended.
The Lord says: My presence is available. Come to me and bear the fruit of my grace.
St. Paul wrote us in 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4 “We ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God (as, in fact, you are doing) you should do more and more.”
Jesus told us in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24 “Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
