Deceitful Roses Little one, come into My light. You who are bound, arise. You who are deceived, awake. You who are in torments, be freed. Let not this darkness reign in your mind. Come, and see My truth: My light brings truth. What has made you shun the good, and cling to the bad? What has made you refuse My joy, and continue in despair? Beloved, it is the darkness of lies. Dear one, you cannot discern good and evil, you cannot tell truth from error. Why? It is the work of the enemy to darken. It is the fruit of sin to cause bondage and con¬fusion. Carnality only cloaks, and blinds, and imprisons. The enemy hides that which I illumi¬nate, and shows things in dimness and partiality. My light will show, in completeness, a rose with its thorns—that you may avoid it. Yet the working of sin will cover and shade the thorns, and deceive you to pluck this cruel flower. You may see the flower’s beauty, and truly, you may see that it is good. Yet it is in the nature of sin to blind and block out the thorns and show only the petals. For Satan lures you according to the lusts of your own mind, as a man casts a lure for a fish. And though you will see your desire, and even taste it on your tongue, yet will you not swallow it. His hook shall ensnare you, and prevent you, and the sweet and pleasant bait shall not enter your stomach to satisfy.5 You shall flail and thrash about, and taste the beginnings of your darkened desires, yet it shall not nourish you. Be now encouraged by My words: for I can satisfy. I am all truth, and I do not distort. I am all light, and I do not conceal a deceptive device. I am not nine parts water, one part poison. I am not nine parts honey, one part hemlock. I do not mix bitter poison with My sweetness. I am the whole truth. In Me is all sweetness. He that drinks of the water that I give to him shall never thirst again.8 My precious child, let Me plant in you My endless fountain, that you may drink abundantly and never have thirst. It is in My heart to give more and more, and make My love abound unto overflowing fullness.
