A Message from Natalia
By MariaMaria #590 CM/FM 3372 10/01
Dear Family,
1. Merry Christmas! We love you and pray you're having a very special Christmastime as you share the Lord's love and His free gift of eternal life with others, which is why He came to Earth so many years ago!
2. The Lord not only gave His life for us, but He daily loads us with benefits, with blessings, with spiritual and physical gifts. He really pours it on every day, and we have a lot to be thankful for, to the point that His praise could continually be in our mouths!
3. This Christmas He's given us a gift as well—a Christmas gift of His Words for you. He sent Natalia with the following message of praise and thanksgiving, which you could read unitedly sometime during your Christmas celebration. We pray that you'll find this message joyous, uplifting, inspiring and strengthening, and that as you praise you'll receive even more of His gifts—the blessings of God and riches of Heaven that He says He's eager to pour out on you, both now and throughout the year to come!
Love and prayers during this praiseful Christmas,
Mama
4. (Natalia speaking: ) Our loving Husband has sent me to lead you in Christmas praise, for it is fitting.
5. I was created to lead you in praise. And I am honored to help teach you, the children of David, the true secrets and value of praise. I am honored to lead you in praise, that you might avail yourselves of its magical touch, that you might immerse yourselves in its glorious glow, that you might put its awesome power to use!
6. Remember, my loves, when we first met? I told you I was created for this purpose—to continually praise our loving Savior in song and dance! And at this Christmastime, it is fitting that I come to you‚ dear Family, to lead you in Christmas praises to our mighty King.
7. Do you know why? It was I who led the praise on that wondrous night our almighty Lord was born on Earth! Yes, it was I who led the cherubim, who led the seraphim, who led the Heavenly choir to praise and rejoice and give glory to God before the shepherds in the fields.
8. This is why I bear the name Natalia‚ for I was to have the honor of leading the Heavens and those who witnessed the birth on Earth in praise on that first Noel! I led the praise on that glorious night when our King came down that you might live forevermore. I led the praise the night your salvation was made possible, when Love came to you at Christmas!
9. It was my commission that night to lead the Heavens and those on Earth in praise to our King. In addition to the angels and shepherds in the fields, I also touched Mary and Joseph. I led them all in praise, as well as the small stable boy who attended to their needs, on the night of that glorious birth! I was created to sing eternal praise to our King!
10. Now, dear Family, I come to lead you this Christmas in praise to our strong Mighty Man, in praise to our Lord and King! Join me now and partake of the strength of praise.
11. Let your praise be known to all the worlds! Be not as those who repeat the words in vain repetition, but immerse yourselves in the joyful sound of praise and glory in its power! Praise with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul‚ and let your praise lift you to the Heavenlies!
12. This is the kind of praise our dear Love wants. This is the kind of praise that empowers you. This is the kind of praise that brings fruit in your lives. This is the kind of praise that rises above. This is the kind of praise that turns the keys to the Kingdom, which you hold in your hands. This is the kind of praise that transcends the impossible!
13. So cut loose, dear ones! Lose yourselves in praise to our King! Be enraptured in His glory, and thrill to His magnificence! Lift your eyes upward! Set your heart and affections on that which is above. Never mind the trivia‚ the nagging details in the world around you—only think on Heavenly things in this moment.
14. Lose yourselves in praise to the King of Kings! Sing for joy and be filled! This is what your Husband desires as you remember His birth. He wants you. He wants your joyous, exuberant, happy praise.
15. Do you know why? Yes, He derives great pleasure and satisfaction when He hears your praise. Yet greater than this‚ your praises open the door for our strong Defender to fill you with His power. This is His greatest pleasure—to fill you with His Spirit. This is what He longs for. He wants to flow, flow‚ flow through your veins. He wants to pump His energy throughout you. Grant Him this pleasure, dear ones, in giving Him thanks for all He has done for you.
16. This is what pleases our King more than anything—to fill you with His Spirit, for He knows this is what brings true happiness—when you are filled with His strength and power! Through your praises you create a vacuum that He can fill, and when He does, you benefit in ways beyond compare. Through your praise your spirit is set free, and this is what pleases your Love. Through your praise, you raise shields of protection around you that guard you from the Enemy's attacks.
17. Through your praise you receive the blessings of God; you open the door to receive the riches of Heaven through your praise, and this is what He wants. He wants to heap on you His great treasure. He wants to give and give and give to you again—more than you can possibly conceive of. This is why He loves your praise; through your praises you make it possible for the King to love you like He wants to.
18. He glories in your praise. He dwells in your praise. He comes to you when you praise. His desire is to meet your desire, to fill you and thrill you and make you happy, to strengthen and empower you to move forward.
19. Love came to Earth on Christmas‚ and so we praise His Name! Join me now, dear ones. Come, let us praise our King and fill His desire; let Him fill you. There is not a better thing you can do as you join together for fellowship at this Christmastime than to sing praise to the One Who is your all in all. Join me in Christmas praise to His Name!

We activate their power within us, that we might lay down our lives daily for one another, as You laid down Your life for us, that we might live Your only Law of Love.
104. (Jesus speaking: ) My dear brides, My faithful, most intimate loves, thank you for being Mine! Thank you for giving Me your praise! How I love your praise! I thrive on it and live in it! When you love and praise Me like you do, I would do anything for you. When you lift up your hands in praise, when you kneel before Me in humility, when you sing Me songs of thanksgiving, when you tell Me how much you love and need Me, when you call on the power of the keys, when you love one another, when you tell the world about Me‚ when you call on Me in prayer, when you ask Me everything, when you express your dependence on Me‚ when you stop in the middle of a busy day to take a few moments to love Me—when you praise and adore Me like you do—you make all that I have done for you and sacrificed for you worthwhile.
105. I have no regrets for anything that I underwent to gain you, My loves. My coming to Earth, being born in a stable, the son of a lowly carpenter and a simple maiden, being reared in humble surroundings, learning obedience through the things I suffered, forsaking the comforts and glories of Heaven, passing through raging fires of affliction, tests and trials, being tempted of Satan‚ standing trial before men, being beaten and scourged, and finally being nailed to a cross and hung in shame amidst thieves—all of this pales next to the deep personal satisfaction, fulfillment and joy I find in you.
106. You, My brides, make everything I've lived for worthwhile. If I had before Me the choice to do it all over again, to come to Earth in order to save you‚ I would do so without any hesitation. You make My life complete. Thank you for loving Me like you do. Thank you for giving Me the gift of your praise. Thank you for your love and faithfulness. Thank you for your willingness to walk in My footsteps, to follow where I lead, to be called Mine.
107. I will grant your Christmas prayers: Strength is delivered to you, grace and power to be My action brides each day of the year—doers of My Words, carriers of My love. Thank you for calling on the keys, for turning them and activating their power—for in the power of the keys you will find the strength you need to carry on.
108. This is My Christmas message to you this year, dear ones: Keep turning the keys! You want to continue to walk in My footsteps; you want to continue to love one another as I love you; you want to keep branching out into all the world, making disciples of all nations; you want to keep My commandments; you ask Me to help you to be doers of My Word each day, to live My Law of Love. The grace, strength and power you seek to fulfill all these demands lies within the keys.
109. I cannot repeat it enough‚ and so I ask you yet again: Keep at it. Keep learning to use the keys. Keep calling on the keys. Keep turning the keys. Keep opening the doors that lie before you with the keys. Keep activating the power of the keys. Let nothing deter you from using the keys, for with their power, you are invincible! When you're tempted to waver, just call on the keys. Hold up the keys in the face of the Enemy when he tries to tempt you; call on their power to rebuke Satan, and he will flee. He cannot withstand the power of the keys!
110. The answer to the strength and power you seek is in the keys! Hold tightly to the keys and put them to use constantly. The keys will always be with you‚ as long as you call on their power. Turn the keys in all you do, and their power will propel you into action.
111. I came to Earth that you might be saved, and I came to Earth that you, My children of David, might be the keepers of the keys of the Kingdom in the Last Days, for it is in the power of the keys that you will overcome the world!
112. Thank you for giving Me the gifts of your love and praise. Another gift you can give Me this Christmas, and throughout the year to come, is to put the keys to use each and every day. You must use the keys! Keep calling on the keys in your daily lives! Keep turning the keys and keep learning all about them! It brings Me great happiness and joy to see you wield the power of the keys.
113. Keep calling on the keys, activating their power and letting them carry you through, and they will! The power of the keys will never fail you. The power of the keys will propel you to action. Thank you, My loves, for being Mine. Thank you for fulfilling My desires. You are everything to Me‚ the ones for whom I gave everything during My time on Earth. You are My intimate loves‚ and we will love each other forever. (End of message from Jesus.)
