Finally, we turn again now to the Divine Will teachings Jesus
                gave Luisa.  Again, these are important because there is a new

                   grace with them that connects us (gives us) to the Father’s
                heartbeat.  Jesus often uses analogies with Luisa to teach this.
                One is having a coin stamped with the image of the King in (Vol
                  16 (5 May 1923) it then becomes royal currency otherwise it

                  has little value. So too if we simply do God’s will rather than
                  allow God’s Divine Will do or be the action through us. Jesus
                also compares having a coin on loan rather than possessing it-

                 of how much more value is the latter!  We really only have life
                     “on loan” until we enter into the Divine life on earth as in
                heaven. Jesus also uses the analogy (in Volume 17 September

                  18, 1924) extract below) of the difference between a Servant
                  and a Son, both can do the same act but of how much more
                                                                                                18
                       value is the act of the latter in the eyes of a Father!
               In Charismatic circles some call this the ”anointing” you have.

               Jesus said in reference to John the Baptism the least in the
               Kingdom of heaven is greater than he even though John was
                                                                              19
               called by Jesus the greatest born of woman.  This means, to
               my mind, God gives greater gifts as the church journeys along

               the salvation history path. It is not dependant on merit but on
                                 20
               shear grace.

               One more analogy Jesus uses is a person who lives in a dark
               house and the extent they open the windows and doors to let

               the light of the sun in, is the extent they embrace the Father as



               18  In this powerful passage Jesus focuses on explaining directly
               the difference between doing and living in God’s Will. And
               several scriptures could also be alluded to here eg the prodigal

               son.
               19
                   Matthew 11:11 “Truly I tell you, among those born of
               women there has not risen anyone greater
               than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of
               heaven is greater than he.”


               20  This can be explored in another talk.
