House On A Rock

June 12

Be watchful to hear My Voice and instantly to obey.  Obedience is your great sign of faith.

"Why call ye My Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say?" was My word when

on Earth to the many who followed and heard, but did not do.

I likened the man who heard and did not do to the man who built his house on the sand.

In times of storm and trouble he is overthrown; his house falls.  

I likened the man who obeyed Me implicitly to the man who built his house upon a rock.

In times of storm he is steadfast, immovable.

Do not feel that by this I mean only the keeping of My Commandments, even the

living My Sermon on the Mount.  I mean more than that to those who know Me

intimately.  I mean the following in all, the Inner Guiding that I give, the little injunctions

I speak to each individual soul, the wish I express - and desire to have carried out.

The secure, steadfast, immovable life of My disciples, the Rock Home, is not built at a

wish, in a moment, but is laid, stone by stone, foundations, walls, roof,  the acts of

obedience, the daily following out of My wishes, the loving doing of My Will.

And it is in that Rock Home, manmade but divinely inspired- the 

House of Obedience- the truest expression of a disciple's adoration and worship-

it is there I come to dwell with My loved one.
