Introduction
By Maria
         From Jesus--With Love contains excerpts of prophecies which the Lord has given us during the past few years. Most of the prophecies have never been published before. They were given for various individuals, most of whom wrote me sharing their hearts and requesting prayer. The ones that have been published in the GNs have the GN or Letter reference following these excerpts. All the prophecies which were published in the 32-page "sneak preview" booklet for the 1997 Birthday Feast have also been included.
         I knew that these Words of love from Jesus would be a tremendous blessing to each of you, but I was concerned that sharing them in this manner could cause those of you to whom the message was originally given to feel that it lessened the meaning of the Words for you personally, or that it is no longer as intimate as it was when it was just between you and the Lord.
         I asked the Lord how He viewed this, and following is the beautiful message He gave, assuring you that the Words are indeed given for you personally and intimately--but He wants to also shower them down on all of His brides. I pray that this introductory prophecy will help you who are now sharing the gift of the Words which the Lord gave specifically to you, as well as those of you who are partaking of these beautiful treasures, to "each rejoice together" at these Words "From Jesus--With Love."

         (Jesus speaking:) My Love Letters to you are marvelous things, aren't they? Don't they touch your heart and speak to you as nothing else and no other can? Can't you see the hearts, the beautiful heart-shaped Letters, floating down from Me into your hands? Just as when Tommy scattered My Words out of his window and watched as different ones picked them up and read them and were touched and moved and changed and brought to Me, so am I, as I shower My love and My Words and My lovemaking upon each of you, My brides.
         I give to each of you that which you need at the time, for I see your hearts and I know your needs and desires. That which even you don't fully understand is known to Me. And at that moment when you call and ask, and when I come to you to fill that need, it is Me loving you. It is Me speaking to you and giving you exactly what I know will fill the void of your heart.
         I whisper in your ear. I love and caress you and fill you. I give each of you the seeds which you need personally. Do you hear My love Words to you? Do you feel My loving touch, My caresses? Do you feel healed and renewed? Do you feel new life coming back to you as we lie together in My bed of love? This is My personal touch on your life.
         I wish to confirm these feelings, this touch which each of you feel personally through the Words which My prophetess has tasted and has delighted in. For I know that you trust her and that you believe that what she has bottled and put the stamp of her vineyards upon is truly My vintage. So as your needs are brought before her, as she feels for your heart and your longings and your needs and brings them before Me, I answer her prayers and her cries for you, and I come to you with Words of comfort. I pour out to you in answer to her love for you and her desire to see you rest more fully and completely in My arms.
         Thank you for coming to Me. For those of you whose requests have come before My queen have represented many others. You have knelt before Me as each of My children do in their hearts, and as I pour out to one, I pour out to many. But you are not many--you are you, My special delight! The Words which I have given for you, My one, are for you. Yet they express the feelings in My heart, the deep longing and desire and answers that are for each of My brides, each of My children, each of My lovers.
         Herein comes into play the mystery of My bride being one and My bride being many. I speak to all, to My bride, to My called-out ones, and I speak to you, to your heart. Is this not what you experience and feel as you read My original Word, the Words that I spoke through My Own mouth as I lived and walked amongst you? Were these not Words spoken to those with whom I was face to face, those who walked with Me, those who gathered around Me? And yet when you read them, is it not Me speaking directly to you--to your heart and to your needs?
         So it is with My Words of today. When I speak to one, I do speak to all; yet I still speak to you and to your heart. There are details and specifics which may be for only one, for I am a personal God; yet I know the hearts of My children everywhere, and even these can be applied in some way to hearts which are similar.
         So My bride, My dear one, do not worry that in sharing the Words which I have spoken into your ear, they will become less personal or less meaningful, or that sharing them will lessen the special bond which they have brought between My heart and yours. But rather expand this closer communion we share so that others may be brought in, too, that others may be brought into this link between us which My Words of love have wrought. Draw a circle that will bring others in.
         Here is another of My lessons of love--I wish that you, My bride, would truly rejoice with your fellow bride that rejoices. I wish that as you receive something from your Husband--a gift, a love letter, a poem, a touch of love--you would eagerly share it with the other. Do not hold it to your breast or guard it, but open it, gladly and freely, and share it in love with your fellow brides round about you.
         Say to one another, "Look what the Lord has said to me! Look at this token of our Husband's love! Look what His seeds have conceived in me as I loved Him and came before Him and requested His filling. Won't you share this with me and partake of my joy? For this can be our love and our rejoicing together." In this will My bride truly be made one, as you come to understand more clearly the mystery of each being one in the bed of love with Me, yet all partaking and each receiving in their own bodies the fruits that I give to them personally, in particular; each rejoicing together in the love and growth that they experience! (End of message from Jesus.)

         Although these prophecy excerpts cover many different aspects of different situations, they don't necessarily cover every aspect or present a complete, fully rounded picture in every way. While the principles are generally applicable to all, it's always good to ask the Lord how you can apply them to your situation or if there's anything else He wants to show you. Dad commented on this subject for us:

         (Dad speaking:) Just get it out, Honey, as much as you can, as fast as you can. Time is short, and it just can't be so perfect or so well-rounded. The Family's learning to rightly divide the truth. They're learning to apply the Word, and if they have questions, they can just ask the Lord. In this From Jesus--With Love book that Peter and you have been working so hard on, not all of the prophecy excerpts are going to be perfectly explained. The Family's going to have to be Spirit-led in understanding and applying those Words.
         But look at the multitude of Words that you're getting out! It's wonderful! It's marvelous! You never could have processed all those prophecies had you tried to put them in a perfectly balanced, well-explained, well-applied format. But at least you're getting them out. They'll be in the hands of the Family, and the Lord can use His Word to speak to their hearts.
         Time is short and you just have to get it out. In some ways the Family is just going to have to fend for themselves, and those who are really hungry will read it and pray about it and the Lord will help them to understand it. And if they just can't get it, well, they can ask the Lord. God bless you, Honey! Thanks for pumpin' it out. Keep up the good work! I love you! (End of message from Dad.)

         So if you have questions about any facet of these prophecies, dear Family, please pray and ask the Lord for His clarification, or study what He's already given us in His written Word, the Letters and the Bible.
         To assist you in your study, we've provided an index in the back of this book, as well as a list of the full Letters from which any previously published prophecies were drawn.
         We pray this will only be the first of many more volumes of the Lord's marvelous, Heaven-sent Words of counsel, comfort, encouragement and love for you.
         With great love always, Mama
