Messages from Jesus

These entries are those that were found in the diary of messages maintained by James Padgett. Where possible, they have been linked to the messages, and thus now also serve as a chronological index of the messages received from Jesus. Since we can no longer converse with the person who abstracted this from the original, we are not certain if the underlining is part of the original document. But our feeling is that it is.
