Dying To Self In Self-seeking Times

"Son, relinquish thyself, and thou shalt find Me.  Stand without choice or any self-seeking, and thou shalt always gain.  For greater grace shall be added to thee as soon as thou hast given up thyself, and dost not take thyself back.

Lord, how often shall I resign myself, and in what thing shall I relinquish myself?
Always and at all times; as in little, so also in great : I make no exception, but will have thee to be found in all things divested of self.

Otherwise, how canst thou be Mine and I thine, unless thou be both interiorly and exteriorly stripped of the own will?

The sooner thou effect this, the better will it be with thee; and the more fully and sincerely thou do it, the more will thou please Me, and the more shalt thou gain.

Some there are the resign themselves, but it is with some exception; for they do not wholly trust in God, and therefore are busy in providing for themselves.

Some also at first offer all; but afterwards, being assailed by temptation, they return again to what they had left, and therefore make no progress in virtue.

These shall neither attain to the true liberty of a pure heart, nor to the grace of a delightful familiarity with Me, unless they first entirely resign themselves up, and offer themselves a daily sacrifice to Me; without which, union of fruition neither is nor shall subsist. 

I have often said to thee, and i repeat it now again: Forsake thyself, resign thyself, and thou shalt enjoy a great inward peace.

Give all for all; seeking nothing; call for nothing back; stand purely and with a full confidence before Me, and thou shalt possess Me.

Thou shalt be free in heart, and the darkness shall not weigh thee down.

Aim at this, pray for this, desire this, that thou may be divested of all self-seeking; and thus naked, follow Jesus naked, that thou may die to thyself and eternally live to Me" --T a' K

[There is so much going on, and I am well aware of it all.  I've long predicted, written, sung, spoke of pretty much everything that is going on now.  I've been reticent, waiting, to Hear what, in these times, might be of help to relate. . . . As I've said, I know there is a plethora of information available "out there" to delve into and relatively get a grip on what is going on world-wise. . . .  
So I've waited, praying, asking, what little thing, in my (deliberately) little (albeit, I believe precious) outreach . . . SHOULD I convey, seeking The Lord's counsel.

The above quote was, I dare say, divinely inspired to share . . . which considers the times, distractions, mis-directions, obfuscations, LIES, worldliness ubiquitous 2023.

I DID also get a quick "flash-vision" (as I've called it before) that 2033 . . . is an important date for the Spiritual.

Anyway, God blesses you . . . God bless you . . . and, as a Believer, YOU know that dealing with all of the evil, perverted lies and wickedness underway (as the devil's getting to the end of his rope) . . . THE ONLY WAY . . . is to die to self, be dead of self (HE graciously WILL and DOES preserve your special, unique self nevertheless!) . . . . . . HENCE, why, I suspect, He very deliberately and swiftly (once I asked what to convey) led me to the above inspired recitation.
