JTM Crusade Prayer Meeting on Thursday, 4th February, 2016

 Prayer Theme: Special Graces

The readings are chosen at random by volunteers after a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

We usually pick 3 readings plus a Bible reading because we like to hear the messages, but today I thought that we would only choose two, and it was just as well, because they were all long.

Thoughts on the Readings today

The first reading from the book of Truth (see readings below) was the story of the Father’s Love. He tells us how he pines for those who are lost. He explains His Covenant. He tells us of His  great gifts  – the time we needed, created in his own image, free will and free choice. He just wants us to love him.

He explains to us how He created the angels before man and that Lucifer was his favourite, but that Lucifer went into a jealous rage because God love us so much. The angels – all of them – had free will also. He then outlined to us His plan.  – the prophets, ten commandments, His only Son and finally the death of HIs Son on the Cross. It seems to me that we are a very dense, and ungrateful lot and after all that, we still don’t get it.

He explains to us, that His plan is not complete. We are now at the final stage – the book of Truth, and finally, the deception wherein many people will be deceived into worshipping Lucifer and his servants. This will be the most painful. Even at this stage, our dear loving Father gives us a special Prayer (CP 140 – see below).

God the Father sums it all up for us at the end – His final instructions to us: Remain strong, ignore the hatred, prepare for the anger which is soon to erupt,   pray for those who are sucked into the vacuum of lies, and remain in Him, with Him and for Him.

These words of our dear heavenly Father should melt the hardest hearts. That’s why the book of Truth is so powerful.

In the second reading, the Father’s beloved Son  and our dear Lord – Jesus – continues to teach us and to get us ready. At His second coming, he wants us to be ready, not catch us unawares. He tells us that the time is short but to never fear. On top of all this He tells us about His Mother and her special role as Mediatrix to help prepare the world for Jesus’ second coming. We can feel the sadness with which Jesus tells us that we have ignored His mother – at Fatima and at Garabandal.

He tells us that he has been sending His mother  to warn us for hundreds of years.. It is very sad for Jesus to say “There was a time when my mother, who, through Divine manifestation, would command attention on Earth. Sadly, since Fatima and Garabandal, few of My sacred Servants take her Divine apparitions seriously.” And if the priests don’t take the apparitions seriously, most of the faithful certainly will not. We always hear people say ” It’s not necessary for salvation to listen to private revelation” or that “it ios not yet approved”. Well if they keep waiting, it will be too late, and they will have missed the boat!

But once more, He proceeds to give us instructions and reminders about money, prayer groups, churches, and holding onto scripture. Jesus tells us that in 3 years’ time we will understand why. The message was in Jan 2011: – in Feb 2014 the first meeting was held to propose an agenda for the first synod in October of that year. Well, we have all read how the holy words of Scripture  and teachings of the Church were quoted and  twisted that year (preparing for the synod, during it, preparing for and during the second one in 2015) and ever since. It is now snowballing. Make sure you all have enough Bibles everyone – for yourselves and your family and relatives. As Jesus told us in another message – they won’t be available – we won’t be able to buy them, and if anyone wanted to check in the Bible, they won’t be able to.

Jesus even has a word for the Media – telling them that their arrogance will turn to despair. The media has always meant to represent the independent truth. It is quite astonishing to read that even the media will turn to prayer when they realize that mankind has turned from the truth and does not want to listen. Jesus talks of “the secret channel” of communication, given to us by technology. This is obviously  the internet.

Even the media will despair when nobody listens. Jesus gives the media advice too – He tells them to beware of dictators  paying them to report lies. Jesus tell them to fight for the freedom to report injustices.

We all have a role to play and God makes sure that we are all well equipped to fight this battle. He warns us that Satan will try to take our free will away, but that he can never win.

The reading from St John’s Gospel is the Crucifixion. Obviously the message to us is the Crucifixion of Christ’s Mystical Body – the Crucifixion of the Church. Phrases that stand out are “this hour” an d “not for my sake…but for yours”. The final sentence says it all in a nutshell:

“Now sentence is being passed on this world; now the prince of this world is to be driven out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all people to myself.”

There is always so much to think about, so  much to learn in God’s classroom.!

Praised be God. Thank you Lord!

The Readings:

God the Father: For this is the final period – the final chapter in the fulfilment of My Holy Will

13 March 2014

My dearest daughter, my protection is extended right now over all of My children in the world who love me. I do this in abundance, because of the threats facing humanity during this time in history.

You, My children, must pray for every one of those who are lost to me.
I pine for them. I crave their love. I weep for them. I wait for the day when they will understand my Covenant, created by me in the beginning.

For this is the final period – the final chapter in the fulfillment of my holy will.
It was by my Covenant that I gave man the time needed to come to his senses and to recognise himself for what he is and what he is not. Man was created by my loving hand, in my own image. I flooded his soul with My Love, I gave him complete freedom, through my gift of free will and free choice. I never wanted man to reciprocate his love out of fear for me.I only wanted him to love me, just as I loved him.

I created my angels before man, to serve me, but because of My Love for them, they too, were given the gift of free will. It was because of the betrayal of lucifer that man suffered. He, lucifer, was loved and favoured by me. He was bequeathed with extraordinary gifts and powers and many angels served under him.

When I created man, Lucifer went into a jealous rage. He could not bear that I would love My children to such a great extent and so he set out to separate me from My children. He tempted Adam and Eve and this meant that they, by their own free will, denied my power and thought – just as Lucifer did – that they could attain my power and claim a piece of my Divinity. Lucifer, along with his loyal angels – all of whom committed atrocities against My children – then and now – were cast into the abyss for eternity. But because of their free will – given by me freely and with love to humanity, I never claimed it back.

So I created the Covenant to win back their souls, through my plans to redeem them.They received huge favours from me. I sent prophets to warn them of the dangers of giving in to the temptation of the Devil. I gave them the ten commandments to guide them and to help them live according to my will. I sent them my only son, taken from my own flesh, to bring them freedom from Hell.
They would not accept this, but his death on the cross was the turning point in my plan of the Final Covenant.

The Book of Truth is the last part of my intervention, before the final day, when I bring all of My children together and back to the Paradise, which I created for them in the first place. Those who listen to the truth and who remain true to my holy word, will find great favour with me. Those who do not, will still find favour with me, through the lives they lead, the love they show others and their purity of soul. I will welcome them, once they acknowledge that they accept the hand of mercy, which will be extended to them by My Son.

The final stage of the fulfillment of my Covenant will be a painful one.
Because of the influence of Satan and his demons, many people will be deceived into worshipping him and all his servants, who walk amongst you. I will tolerate the suffering of souls and the hardships, which will be borne by many innocent people, but only for a short time. Then, I will wipe my enemies off the face of the Earth.

I promise you, dear children, that I will ease your pain, sorrow and fear, by bequeathing you powerful graces and blessings. You will be protected by the circle of my hierarchy of angels. To ask me to dissolve your fear and sorrow and to grant you the freedom from persecution, please recite this prayer.
Crusade Prayer (140) protection of hierarchy of angels:
Dearest Father, God of all creation, God the Most High, grant me grace and protection through your hierarchy of angels.
Enable me to focus on your love for each of your children, no matter how they offend you.
Help me to spread the news of the Final Covenant to prepare the world for the second coming of Jesus Christ, without fear in My Heart. Grant me your special graces and blessings to rise above persecution, inflicted upon me by Satan, his demons and his agents on Earth. Never allow me to fear your enemies. Give me the strength to love my enemies and those who persecute me in the name of God. Amen.

Children, you must remain strong at this time. Never listen to the hatred and venom, which will cover the Earth, because of the infestation to come. When you ignore it, you can serve me in the most beneficial manner, without any malice in your hearts. Prepare for much anger is about to erupt in the world, which will be directed at me, God the Most High and My Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Pray for those who will be sucked into a vacuum of lies, which will bring nothing but sorrow for them. Remain in me, with me and for me.
Your beloved Father
God the Most High

Media and Other Censorships to come

1 January 2011

My beloved daughter, the time has come for yet another year when my beloved children will learn more from me, about how to adapt their lives so that when I come as judge, mankind will be ready.

My beautiful children, all of whom I hold close to my Sacred Heart, you must listen to me now. I will never forsake you when you recognize me and the truth of the New Paradise – the promise I gave you all before I died on the cross for your sins. The time is drawing close now, my beloved children. Never fear. If you love me and believe in me what is there to fear? For love is not fearful. Love is joy, happiness and for all of you who believe in the eternal life in Heaven, there is nothing to fear. I love you all.
Mother of God’s role in second coming of Christ
My Beloved Mother, who was responsible for taking up the chalice of accepting my existence, at the moment of conception to herald a new beginning for mankind, will also herald my second coming. I will redeem all those who turn to me for mercy.

My mother, sent by the Eternal Father to bring redemption and salvation to the world, will stand by me this second time. My Beloved Mother, the angel of light, will now triumph to deliver My Mercy and herald my second coming on Earth.
My devoted mother, the Immaculate Conception, as Mediatrix, will help prepare the world for my second coming.

She has been preparing mankind for many centuries, but has now, in the last 100 years, been trying to instil love in your hearts, to ignite the sometimes stagnate love you have for me and my Eternal Father. There was a time when my mother, who, through Divine manifestation, would command attention on Earth.
Sadly, since Fatima and Garabandal, few of My sacred Servants take her Divine apparitions seriously. Nor are her visionaries, the chosen few, taken seriously.

This time, as the year 2011 commences, many, many changes in the world are now about to take place. This is because the world, My children, as you once knew it is about to change.

Secret of Fatima – connection with future
So many of you innocent and trusting souls fail to grasp the evil that is about to unfold. My children, and I include those reading these messages for the first time, out of curiosity, who may feel a gap in your spiritual welfare, listen now.
You and your fellow brothers and sisters are being led into a world dictated by the group, foretold in the last secret of Fatima, to which you are not privy, where you will soon find the following.
1.Your money will be worthless and the only way to trade will be in gold or silver.
2.You will need to pray in groups and find a sacred servant, brave enough, to stand up before the persecution.
3.You must find shelters for prayer because your Churches will be sold for monetary gain.
4.Hold onto Scripture, you may never have read them before, but be assured, copies will be impossible to buy in the future.
5.Set up prayer groups to pray for the salvation of mankind.
In three years time you will understand why this is important.

Media censorship
To the media, I have this to say. As communicators to the world, the arrogance you display today will turn to despair when your word is no longer heard. You too will soon realize the importance of prayer when mankind turns from the truth.

Your word today can still represent the important independent truth. But this gift will now be taken away from you. Instead, the truth will now be hidden from mankind through the dictatorship you are about to witness during the Great Tribulation. Then your word will be denied just as my word is.

The “secret channel” of communication
No one will listen to you because the only word delivered to mankind, which will have any impact, will be by the secret channel delivered to the world through technology. You will find yourself in the wilderness and will end up trying to communicate to a disbelieving world, just as I do at this point in time, when your word is not heard.
Beware of dictators. Have no fear those of you, irrespective as to which path you follow God, just hear me now. Fight those who impose dictatorship in your world, for they are of Satan. Never be fooled by them no matter how much they pay you to report lies. They will face eternal damnation unless they repent; though time is not on their side. Fight for the freedom to report the injustices you witness.
No matter that you believe in me, because when you see this prophecy unfold, then you will realize the truth of My Teachings.

Book of Revelation
Today, in a world that may look battered and bruised because of economic collapse it is easy to believe that things will be okay. Yes, My children, in the past that would be a natural assumption, but not so any more.

The plots devised by the core group of organizations, worldwide in every country, joined at the hip of Satanic origin, are now ready to spring.
Those among you who do not believe in me, will now, finally understand the prophecies contained in My Father’s book and the Book of Revelation.
Fear not, My children. Turn to me and speak to me privately in your own words and I will give you the strength, hope and energy to get through this dark passage in the history of mankind. Those of you reading this message, think carefully.
If you doubt the content, then look around you and decide if you dare to consider the signs. Do you notice that your freedom of free will, given to you as a gift from my Eternal Father, is now being tampered with? I and my Eternal Father, would never interfere with this Divine gift, so sacred a gift is it.

But if man decides to accept Satan and the flames of Hell, then so be it. God, my Eternal Father, cannot prevent this. Yet Satan will try to take this gift of free will from you. When you find that your free will is being snatched from you, through powerful forces, over which you have no control, then you will know that the evil one is behind this.

Satan will never win
Please, please keep alert, my precious children. Do not give in.
If enough of you pray and stand up, you will save souls. Satan and his army will never win. They can’t. It is impossible.

Only God has the power to end this terrible conflict.
I, your Saviour and appointed judge, urge you now to stand-up, be courageous and fight for what is right in your hearts, even if you suffer fear.
Fear is given to you by Satan. Fear is never put into your hearts by me or my Eternal Father. Put down your guard and open up your heart to love, not fear.
Love comes from God. I have told you that love is not something that you feel, unless you open your heart. Love and God the Eternal Father, Creator of this Earth, go hand in hand. They cannot be separated.
When they are then Satan is at work.

Go now, My children, and make up your minds.
Do you want love to envelop you through my Sacred Heart, or fear? It’s your decision.
Your Divine teacher, Saviour and Just Judge of Mercy

NJ Bible John 12:20-32

20 Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks.
21 These approached Philip, who came from Bethsaida in Galilee, and put this request to him, ‘Sir, we should like to see Jesus.’
22 Philip went to tell Andrew, and Andrew and Philip together went to tell Jesus.
23 Jesus replied to them: Now the hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
24 In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.
25 Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 Whoever serves me, must follow me, and my servant will be with me wherever I am. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.
27 Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say: Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this very reason that I have come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name! A voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will again glorify it.’
29 The crowd standing by, who heard this, said it was a clap of thunder; others said, ‘It was an angel speaking to him.’
30 Jesus answered, ‘It was not for my sake that this voice came, but for yours.
31 ‘Now sentence is being passed on this world; now the prince of this world is to be driven out.
32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all people to myself.’

JTM Crusade Prayer Meeting Tuesday 2 February, 2016

Prayer Theme: Protection

Readings are chosen after prayers are crusade prayers are completed. Books of Truth and the Bible are opened at random, after a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

Thoughts on today’s readings:

It is always amazing  how much there is to hear in these messages from the Book of Truth. Most of us have read them – from the beginning, (back in 2010)  when they first commenced, and each day we would eagerly look for the website to see what was new. But we need to read and reread them, in order to take it all in. In our Prayer Group, we always pick 2 or 3 readings from the Book of Truth. We love this “story time” – it is  Jesus or God the Father or our Blessed Mother, here with us: teaching us, reassuring us, telling us what will happen, reminding us of our strengths, telling us what to do. We reluctantly put a limit on how many readings we choose.

The first reading today was from God the Father in 2013. There was a lot to digest. Some key phrases stood out: “the seat of Peter has been desecrated“; the Church will survive outside of Rome. Of course we know that the Pope will have to flee, and that Rome will be destroyed. It also talks of the Warning which will “divide the world into 2 halves”. I liked this. It wasn’t ” into 2 sides” – of maybe 1/3 and 2/3, or 3/4and 1/4. Two halves sounds like there will be a lot of people on our side. This is very reassuring.

There were some references also which seemed to be meant for priests: “Stay together and pray that the infestation will not devour those souls who have given their lives up for My Son” and “ sacred servants, in their hundreds of thousands, will be excommunicated”. We must pray very hard not only for lost souls, but for our priests – the Lord’s servants, many of whom will be weak, or misguided.

God the Father reminds us that he will go to any length to save all his children, and that it is through our prayers that those “who hide” from Him will be taken under his protection. He tells us “Every act of mercy, every miracle, and every intervention will be granted by me for the sake of My children.“He reminds us of His patience,  but tells us to be wary of His anger. There was much more – read it all again for yourself (below).

The second reading from June 2011  was short. Following the theme of “Protection” (which we chose today for our Crusade Prayers), Jesus tells us of His love which is “ablaze with the love for my special children” who rose to His Call. He tells us that we are the army who will lead His children and spread the messages. Jesus reminds us to go to confession now, and not to be frightened. He tells us to warn others to do this before the Warning. His promise of blessings and protection for ourselves and our families will be our reward for our devotion and faith. He loves us soooo much and always encourages us and coaxes us on.

The last reading was again, (like last week) a wonderful story from the Bible. It was about Joshua and Israelites who were in danger from some hostile kings. You know – the Joshua who tore down walls of Jericho, and who led people into Promised land. I didn’t know that this guy also managed to gain a few more cities. One in particular (Gibeon) had the local inhabitants and Israelites living peacefully together. A few kings gathered up their armies and decided to  take back this very important city. The people called to Joshua who came with his army. It tells the story of how God promised to help Joshua win the battle. It tells of a miracle of the sun, when the sun stood still (and no night), of giant hailstones, which killed more of the enemy than the swords… read the story below.

It was a great story of how God loves and fights for His people; it tells us to expect miracles and to expect what seems impossible; it tells us that God will keep us safe from the enemy, if we call on Him.

Just imagine being one of the first apostles and disciples – following Jesus around, listening to His parables and His reassurance and warnings of what would happen.

Well, we know Jesus is with is at every prayer group. He has organized our little lesson for today and you know what – we really are his apostles – the apostles of the end times, part of His remnant army!!!

God the Father: I, your beloved Father, have set the day for The Warning at last. Only I know of this date

 1 April 2013

My dearest daughter, the sacrifices made by me, your beloved Father, on behalf of humanity are coming to an end. Every attempt has been made, because of my pure love for My children, to save them from the evil of sin.
In these times, the final battle to save all My children of every creed and race is now in the final stages.
Who amongst you will stand up for the truth, when it has been given to you for so long?
Who amongst you will accept my holy word as it is presented to you in my Book of Truth today?

Those of you who scream at my prophet will be silenced, so that My children will be able to hear the sweet voice of My Beloved Son, as it draws souls into the safe haven, to prepare them for the New Paradise on Earth.

I call on all of My children, the strong, the weak, the vulnerable, the ignorant and those stuffed with pride, who think that they know the truth of the prophecies promised by me over the centuries, to respond to this call from my Heavenly Kingdom.
I, your beloved Father, have set the day for The Warning at last.
Only I know of this date. Only I know the date of the great day when My Son will return to claim the Kingdom I promised him.

The day of The Warning, given to you as a great gift, will divide humanity into two halves.
The first half will accept My Son’s Great Mercy. The other half will hide and run.
They will believe that they will have the power to withstand God’s intervention to save them. What they do not know is that I will pursue them right up to the last day to save them from the final horror, from which there is no return.

My children, do not fear me.
It is because of My Love for you that I have permitted the final persecution when evil will make itself known in a way like never before.
All Christian Churches will be knocked down in spirit. Some will be demolished.
The Catholic Church, above all others, will suffer the most, as it will now be contaminated from within its core.

This disease will be vicious, but the Church founded by My Son on Earth will survive this evil, although much of it will be outside of Rome, because the seat of Peter has been desecrated.

Rise up, all of you who swear allegiance to My Son.
Stay together and pray that the infestation will not devour those souls who have given their lives up for My Son. Oh how they will be tempted by the new laws, which they will believe are dictated by Heaven, through the seat of Rome.
How their hearts will heave with sorrow when disorder erupts.
How they will weep when those sacred servants, in their hundreds of thousands, will be excommunicated. Only then will they hold out their arms and call on My Son to guide them.

My Divinity will cover the world and gather all My children into My Son’s Kingdom.
You must await this call and accept, with grateful hearts, these gifts given to you as the weapons you need to fight against the wickedness, which will cover the Earth in darkness.
The meek and humble of heart, who love me, their Father, and those who accept the Divinity of my only begotten son, Jesus Christ, will be gathered first.
They, whose names are in the book of the living, will be called and will reign as leaders, along with the Saints, amongst the twelve tribes of Israel.
Those of you with lukewarm souls will then be enlightened and your burden will be heavier.

It will be through your prayers, that the others – those who hide from me – will be taken under the roof of my protection. The beast, who cowers before me, will not win the souls of those children of mine that easily. Every act of mercy, every miracle, and every intervention will be granted by me for the sake of My children.

Those who stand before me and My children will suffer a terrible chastisement.
Although I love all of My children, I will not hesitate to stop those amongst them who, if I allowed them, would take away My Kingdom, which I will fill with all my family.
Be wary of my anger. For although it is contained and my patience is great, I will cast upon the Earth a great affliction, even if it means destroying much of it.
Like a disease, which devours the human body, so too will the evil deeds of man against their brother, destroy the healthy cells. If this disease is not stopped and if I do not cut out, and cast away, the diseased flesh I cannot make the body whole again.

It will only be the whole, healthy body of My Son’s Church on Earth that can come to the door of my new Kingdom on Earth. Those who have removed themselves from the temptation of rejecting My Son will find it easier to be made worthy to join as one body, in union with My Son. They will be given eternal life and pain will be no more.
Your beloved Father
God the Most High

Confess your sins now – do not be frightened

29 June 2011

My dearly beloved daughter, the help I have sent you will now spread my word rapidly around the world using modern communications. My Heart is ablaze with the love for my special children who arose to My Call, for they are the army who will lead My children.
All my blessings envelop each of those who help carry my cross for the good of mankind.
The Holy Spirit is bestowed on those to enable them to spread these messages virally and with real impact.

My children, and all my followers, just remember the one thing that I want you to focus on. Warn the others to seek redemption before The Warning.
They must confess their sins now and must not be frightened. Instead, they must rejoice.
There are only a few months left for this great act of My Mercy. Do not waste time.
Go in love and peace. Do not flinch in this work. It is for the good of all My children.

All of those who work to spread my truth will be rewarded for their devotion and faith.
My blessings will protect each of them and their families.
Rejoice now, for the time is ripe for the world to finally hear my voice in the way they should.
Your Beloved Saviour
Redeemer and King of all mankind
Jesus Christ

New Jerusalem Bible: Joshua 10:1-27

(Catholic online)

1 Now, it happened that Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had conquered Ai and put the town under the curse of destruction, treating Ai and its king as he had already treated Jericho and its king; and also that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living with them.
2 There was consternation at this, since Gibeon was as important a town as any of the royal towns themselves (it was larger than Ai), while all its citizens were fighting men.
3 Consequently, Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon,
4 ‘Join me up here and help me to conquer Gibeon, since it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.’
5 The five Amorite kings joined forces and went up there, that is, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish and the king of Eglon, they and all their armies; laying siege to Gibeon, they attacked it.
6 The men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, ‘Do not desert your servants; come up here quickly to save us and help us, since all the Amorite kings living in the highlands have allied themselves against us.’
7 Joshua came up from Gilgal, he, all the fighting men and all the bravest of his army.
8 Yahweh said to Joshua, ‘Do not be afraid of these people; I have put them at your mercy; not one of them will put up any resistance.’
9 Having marched from Gilgal throughout the night, Joshua caught them unawares.
10 Yahweh threw them into disorder at the sight of Israel, defeating them completely at Gibeon; furthermore, he pursued them by way of the Descent of Beth-Horon and harassed them as far as Azekah (and as far as Makkedah).
11 And as they fled from Israel down the Descent of Beth-Horon, Yahweh hurled huge hailstones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, and they died. More of them died under the hailstones than under the swords of the Israelites.
12 Joshua then spoke to Yahweh, the day Yahweh delivered the Amorites to the Israelites. In the presence of Israel, Joshua said: Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and, moon, you too, over the Vale of Aijalon!
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon halted, until the people had taken vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of the Just? The sun stood still in the middle of the sky and delayed its setting for almost a whole day.
14 There was never a day like that before or since, when Yahweh obeyed the voice of a man — for Yahweh was fighting for Israel.
15 Joshua, and all Israel with him, then went back to the camp at Gilgal.
16 As regards the five kings, these had fled and hidden in the cave of Makkedah,
17 and news of this was brought to Joshua. ‘The five kings have been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah.’
18 Joshua said, ‘Roll great stones over the mouth of the cave and post men there to keep guard.
19 You yourselves, do not stay there doing nothing; pursue the enemy, cut off their line of retreat and do not let them enter their towns, for Yahweh your God has put them at your mercy.’
20 When Joshua and the Israelites had finished inflicting a very great defeat on them, to the point of destroying them, those who had escaped alive took refuge in their fortresses.
21 The people came back to Joshua’s camp at Makkedah; they were all safe and sound, and no one dared to attempt anything against the Israelites.
22 Joshua then said, ‘Clear the mouth of the cave and bring the five kings out to me.’
23 They did so, and brought the five kings out of the cave to take them to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish and the king of Eglon.
24 When these kings had been brought out, Joshua assembled all the men of Israel and said to the chiefs of the warriors who had fought with him, ‘Come forward and put your feet on the necks of these kings!’ They came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25 ‘Be fearless and undaunted,’ Joshua went on, ‘be strong and stand firm, for this is how Yahweh will deal with all the enemies you fight.’
26 With this, Joshua struck and killed them and had them hanged on five trees; they hung there till evening.
27 At the hour of sunset, on Joshua’s orders, they were taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had been hiding. Great stones were laid over the mouth of the cave, and these are still there to this very day.

 

JTM Crusade Prayer Meeting Thursday 28th January 2016

Prayer Theme: Salvation of Souls

Thoughts on today’s readings:

(*See readings which follow this segment)

The first reading reminds us of the schism in the Catholic Church, which is to come, and of the Antichrist who will soon appear and rule over the world’s churches. Jesus reminds us of what is to occur, so that we will not fall into the trap. Jesus tells us of the “alternative” temple which is to be built in Rome. He reminds us that the AC will “receive the seal of approval” from the False prophet. It seems that Jesus is guiding us and preparing us for what is to come. It feels as if it will be this year. The readings randomly chosen , follow a theme – a message to us . This reading speaks of the False Prophet, the new false church and temple, and false religion.

The bIble reading is very long, but tells us a wonderful story. Jesus is quite the teacher! First He reminds us of what is important, then makes this more relevant- with an amazing story!

The reading tells us of the prophet Elijah, who was trying to rescue Samaria from a severe famine. Its king was Ahab, who had persecuted and killed many people who adored the one true God. Samaria was a land of false prophets and people who adored Baal. Ahab had a servant, (Obadiah), known to Elijah and who had hidden many of the sons of Israel in caves, and fed them, etc. He was told by Elijah to announce his arrival to Ahab – he was afraid of doing this and of being killed, but he did what Elijah requested.

Ahab, Elijah, the 400 prophets of Baal and the people assembled at Mt Carmel for a showdown – with Elijah mocking the false prophets when their ‘gods’ could not light the fire. Elijah asked God to light the sacrifice – resulting in conversions to the one, true God and in rain; which fixed the famine. The prophets of Baal were slaughtered.

The lessons for us were: watch out for the false prophets- there will be many of them;  beware of the evil King (or ruler) who will persecute believers and  his false ‘god’: those who worship and side with him, side with evil and will be punished by God. There will also be those who will help hide and protect God’s true prophets and believers; and most importantly the message of retaining Faith in the one true God- who WILL save His people!!!

The next reading continues to impress on us Jesus’ mission to save souls -it reminds us of Jesus’ call to lost, empty and barren souls and His wonderful gift to those who just call on Him to help them – even telling them that they should ask for special favours to be granted. He speaks of the “flame of love” and the  “feelings of warmth, love and peace” which they will feel. Jesus will stop at nothing!

The last reading reflects themes from the first reading – the word of God which will be twisted/changed in all churches- and that we must remain true to God’s Holy Word.

Thank you Jesus. Amen.

This new temple, they will be told, is a church, which unites all because God loves all His children

Sunday, 7 April 2013 @ 18:40

My dearly beloved daughter, every single one of God’s Churches on Earth who honour me, the Son of Man and those who pay allegiance to My Father, will soon be divided.

Many, within each Church, will rebel and great divisions will emerge as more misguided, amongst their ranks, will try to introduce laws, which condone sin.
The moral obligations felt by those who love and know God’s Holy Word will be taken to task and they will be accused of being cruel and heartless.
Their crime will be to oppose sinful laws, which will come into being as Churches disband during the persecution of the Antichrist. When they divide and splinter, their foundations will be rocked. They will no longer be able to stand firm in the face of wickedness and injustice.

The time will then be ripe for many bewildered souls, who will become very confused, to witness an alternative temple of God. This new temple, they will be told, is a Church, which unites all because God loves all his children. And if God loves all his children, then he would want them to unite as one; that they must embrace each other, whatever their creed, their religion, their skin colour, their race, their laws.

All will become united, they will be told, in the face of God, and they will all be asked to send representatives to the new temple, which will be located in Rome. They will be told that this is the new Jerusalem, prophesised in the Bible and protected by God’s chosen leader – the False Prophet.

So many will fall for this great lie, a travesty of the Holy Word of God – which was given to John the evangelist. Every word given to this prophet, for the end times, will be taken, adapted and twisted to suit the agenda of the Antichrist.

Those who refuse to accept this new, so-called inclusive Church, will be deemed to be un-Christian. They will be bullied and made to look like fools. Only for the Holy Spirit, which guides them, they would be sucked into the false and obscene temple, which will disguise the ugly truth, which lies beneath its surface.

The Antichrist is about to make his grand entrance onto the world’s stage and it will be he, who will, not only reign over these Churches, but who will fool people into believing that he possesses special Divine gifts. He will be honoured for his great service to humanitarian causes. He, the Antichrist, will receive international awards for his charity work.

And then they will say he possesses the charisma associated with holy people. It will not be long afterwards when miracles will be attributed to him, until finally, he will say he is a prophet on a mission from God.

Many will fall for this terrible deceit because he will be supported by the world’s Churches and he will be given the seal of approval by the False Prophet. Finally, the world will believe that he is I, Jesus Christ. My word will fall on deaf ears as his presence devours the whole of humanity whose applause will silence the voices who proclaim the true word of God.

But, because of my Great Mercy, I will, with My Father’s hand, intervene every single step of the way. My messages will never stop until the very last day.
My voice will never die. God’s children, who remain true to his holy word, will never die.
Your Jesus

Bible Reading: 1 KIngs18

1 A long time went by, and the word of Yahweh came to Elijah in the third year, ‘Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the country.’
2 So Elijah set off to present himself to Ahab. As the famine was particularly severe in Samaria, 3 Ahab summoned Obadiah, the master of the palace — Obadiah held Yahweh in great reverence: 4 when Jezebel was butchering the prophets of Yahweh, Obadiah took a hundred of them and hid them, fifty at a time, in a cave, and kept them provided with food and water– 5 and Ahab said to Obadiah, ‘Come along, we must scour the country, all the springs and all the ravines in the hope of finding grass to keep horses and mules alive, or we shall have to slaughter some of our stock.’
6 They divided the country for the purpose of their survey; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 While Obadiah was on his way, whom should he meet but Elijah. Recognising him he fell on his face and said, ‘So it is you, my lord Elijah!’ 8 ‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.” ‘
9 But Obadiah said, ‘What sin I have committed, for you to put your servant into Ahab’s power and cause my death? 10 As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent in search of you; and when they said, “He is not there,” he made the kingdom or nation swear an oath that they did not know where you were.
11 And now you say to me, “Go and tell your master: Elijah is here.”
12 But as soon as I leave you, the spirit of Yahweh will carry you away and I shall not know where; I shall go and tell Ahab; he will not be able to find you, and then he will kill me. Yet from his youth your servant has revered Yahweh.
13 Has no one told my lord what I did when Jezebel butchered the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid a hundred of them in a cave, fifty at a time, and kept them provided with food and water?
14 And now you say to me, “Go and tell your master: Elijah is here.” Why, he will kill me!’
15 Elijah replied, ‘As Yahweh Sabaoth lives, whom I serve, I shall present myself to him today!’
16 Obadiah went to find Ahab and tell him the news, and Ahab then went to find Elijah.
17 When he saw Elijah, Ahab said, ‘So there you are, you scourge of Israel!’
18 ‘Not I,’ he replied, ‘I am not the scourge of Israel, you and your family are; because you have deserted Yahweh and followed Baal.
19 Now give orders for all Israel to gather round me on Mount Carmel, and also the four hundred prophets of Baal who eat at Jezebel’s table.’
20 Ahab called all Israel together and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.
21 Elijah stepped out in front of all the people. ‘How long’, he said, ‘do you mean to hobble first on one leg then on the other? If Yahweh is God, follow him; if Baal, follow him.’ But the people had nothing to say.
22 Elijah then said to them, ‘I, I alone, am left as a prophet of Yahweh, while the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty.
23 Let two bulls be given us; let them choose one for themselves, dismember it but not set fire to it. I in my turn shall prepare the other bull, but not set fire to it.
24 You must call on the name of your god, and I shall call on the name of Yahweh; the god who answers with fire, is God indeed.’ The people all answered, ‘Agreed!’
25 Elijah then said to the prophets of Baal, ‘Choose one bull and begin, for there are more of you. Call on the name of your god but light no fire.’
26 They took the bull and prepared it, and from morning to midday they called on the name of Baal. ‘O Baal, answer us!’ they cried, but there was no voice, no answer, as they performed their hobbling dance round the altar which they had made.
27 Midday came, and Elijah mocked them. ‘Call louder,’ he said, ‘for he is a god: he is preoccupied or he is busy, or he has gone on a journey; perhaps he is asleep and needs to be woken up!’
28 So they shouted louder and gashed themselves, as their custom was, with swords and spears until the blood flowed down them.
29 Midday passed, and they ranted on until the time when the offering is presented; but there was no voice, no answer, no sign of attention.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come over to me,’ and all the people came over to him. He repaired Yahweh’s altar which had been torn down.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, corresponding to the number of tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yahweh had come, ‘Israel is to be your name,’
32 and built an altar in the name of Yahweh. Round the altar he dug a trench of a size to hold two measures of seed.
33 He then arranged the wood, dismembered the bull, and laid it on the wood.
34 Then he said, ‘Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.’ They did this. He said, ‘Do it a second time;’ they did it a second time. He said, ‘Do it a third time;’ they did it a third time.
35 The water flowed round the altar until even the trench itself was full of water.
36 At the time when the offering is presented, Elijah the prophet stepped forward. ‘Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,’ he said, ‘let them know today that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, that I have done all these things at your command.
37 Answer me, Yahweh, answer me, so that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God and are winning back their hearts.’
38 Then Yahweh’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this they fell on their faces. ‘Yahweh is God,’ they cried, ‘Yahweh is God!’
40 Elijah said, ‘Seize the prophets of Baal: do not let one of them escape.‘ They seized them, and Elijah took them down to the Kishon, and there he slaughtered them.
41 Elijah said to Ahab, ‘Go back now, eat and drink; for I hear the approaching sound of rain.’
42 While Ahab went back to eat and drink, Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel and bowed down to the ground, putting his face between his knees.
43 ‘Now go up’, he told his servant, ‘and look out to sea.’ He went up and looked. ‘There is nothing at all,’ he said. Seven times Elijah told him to go back.
44 The seventh time, the servant said, ‘Now there is a cloud, small as a man’s hand, rising from the sea.’ Elijah said, ‘Go and say to Ahab, “Harness the chariot and go down before the rain stops you.” ‘
45 And with that the sky grew dark with cloud and storm, and rain fell in torrents. Ahab mounted his chariot and made for Jezreel.
46 But the hand of Yahweh had come on Elijah and, hitching up his clothes, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

Prayer Requests: Go now and call this request: My Call to Jesus

Monday, 14 May 2012 @ 18:00

My dearest beloved daughter, your gift to me is accepted and as a result will save a further 5 million souls. *
It is my dearest wish to bring an end to your suffering, but, this precious gift you bring me will now mean I can save more of God’s children.
Never forget that this mission is to save mankind from Hell.
I need your help and the help of others to do this.
Never feel alone, for I love you and am with you the entire time.
So many more of God’s children are beginning to hear my voice at last.
The work of the Holy Spirit will bear fruit and very soon the Love of God will be felt in the hearts of even the most barren.
Those lost, empty and barren souls will feel a flame of love and witness a familiar yearning to be part of my new Kingdom on Earth. Many will not understand why, but they will be unable to deny their feelings of warmth, love and peace. So many will be surprised and will want to speak with me.

You must now unite people everywhere to request the gift of My Love. They must ask for special favours to be granted. You, My daughter, must designate one day a week to this.
Each lost soul must ask me to help them. If their request is according to my holy will, then I will answer their prayers. This will instill in them a stronger link to my Sacred Heart and my Great Mercy.

Go now and call this request “My Call to Jesus”
My daughter, do this as soon as you can as I wish to ensure that those souls, especially those who do not accept that I speak now, they will finally realise how close I am to each single soul. Tell them that I love everyone and don’t exclude one single sinner no matter how grievous their sin. All I ask is for them to come to me and ask me to help them.
Your Jesus

*the souls referred to on the first line are to do with a personal suffering offered by the prophet and do not refer to the world as a whole, because billions are currently being saved through prayer.

When My Church upholds the Word of God, you must remain obedient to My Church

Tuesday, 14 January 2014 @ 16:53

My dearly beloved daughter, when My servants, my followers and all those who profess to be of me, say that they love me, this means two things.
They love me because they accept my word and they honor me by professing the truth.
When you love me, you must remain true to my holy word.
This means being obedient to my word in all things relating to the truth.
When you profess the truth of my word, as My sacred Servants, you must remain obedient to the word of God.
When My Church upholds the word of God, you must remain obedient to My Church.
But when the day comes when those with authority in My Church no longer proclaim the Truth, then you must remain obedient only to Me.
For I am the Church. Without me, Your Jesus, there is no Church.
When my word is tampered with and then adapted, it will no longer be my word.
You can only be obedient to the true word of God.
Should you follow a new man-made doctrine, which will replace my holy word in My Churches throughout the world, then, those responsible for this sacrilege will deny me.
Only remain obedient to those who proclaim the word of God, for if it is not my word then – it is not from God.

The word of God is sacrosanct. It may never be changed by anyone.
Obedience to My Church is important. Obedience to the word of God is what determines if you are a Christian. The day when you replace the word of God, with a man-made substitute, is the day you will disobey the word of God.

You can only remain obedient in my eyes, in My Church on Earth, if the truth is upheld.
You must never be frightened to proclaim the truth, because only the truth will set you free.
Your Jesus

Here we go – That phrase – again!!

Pope Francis: obstinate Christians are rebels and idolaters (18th Jan. 2016)

See extract of article below. For full article click on following link
http://www.news.va/en/news/pope-francis-obstinate-christians-are-rebels-and-i

In this sermon, PF is simply reinforcing what he has said over and over – “the God of surprises” the “surprises of the Holy Spirit”, and the “newness of the Spirit”.

He doesn’t specify what these surprises are – not yet. At this stage he is preparing us psychologically for changes – i.e. “surprises” – which are to come. They will be drastic and will overhaul all that has ever been part of our practice and Apostolic Tradition. But if we are primed for changes, it will be easier for Catholics/ Christians (who have not discerned the truth) to accept them. And he keeps reminding us to expect them.

Just in case we don’t accept them, he has to convince us that they are from God – so he uses these phrases – the God of surprises: and the “surprises of the Holy Spirit.” Because he has endeared himself to many people – proven to be a man of the modern world, and because he is after all, the pope – whom many people think cannot err – people will swallow it all – hook, line and sinker!

We don’t exactly know what the changes will be– but there are clues. Just read up on what occurred in the Synod. Changes to marriage and laws for who can receive Holy Communion, will change the perception of the Holy Eucharist. There will be a ripple effect and before we know it, we won’t need any Sacraments because we are all children of God; God loves us all, God is infinite mercy, etc.

He mentions “fasting”. I wonder why? He said “there is another reality”. I wonder what it is? Without (prayer and) fasting, a very strong spiritual weapon will be taken away from us. We will fall like a deck of cards.

Just to make it all sound authentic, he uses stories and parables from scripture in a new way to make his point.

People are so gullible. It is so clear! It pains me to the core of my heart and my soul.
Without the Eucharist, how can we possibly have the strength to bear it all?

Jesus mercy, Mary help!
St Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, pray for us!

Read his homily below ( Monday 18th January):

(Vatican Radio) Christians who say “it’s always been done that way,” and stop there, have hearts closed to the surprises of the Holy Spirit. They are idolaters and rebels will never arrive at the fullness of the truth. That was the message of Pope Francis at Mass on Monday morning at the chapel in the Casa Santa Marta.
In the first reading, Saul was rejected by God as King of Israel because he disobeyed, preferring to listen to the people rather than the will of God. The people, after a victory in battle, wanted to offer a sacrifice of the best animals to God, because, he said, “it’s always been done that way.” But God, this time, did not want that. The prophet Samuel rebuked Saul: “Does the Lord so delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obedience to the command of the Lord?” Jesus teaches us the same thing in the Gospel, the Pope explained. When the doctors of the law criticized Him because His disciples did not fast “as had always been done,” Jesus responded with these examples from daily life: “No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.”
“What does this mean? That He changes the law? No! That the law is at the service of man, who is at the service of God – and so man ought to have an open heart. ‘It’s always been done this way’ is a closed heart, and Jesus tells us, ‘I will send you the Holy Spirit and He will lead you into the fullness of truth.’ If you have a heart closed to the newness of the Spirit, you will never reach the full truth. And your Christian life will be a half-and-half life, a patched life, mended with new things, but on a structure that is not open to the voice of the Lord—a closed heart, so that you are not able to change the wineskins.”
This, the Pope emphasized, was the sin of Saul, for which he was rejected by God. “It is the sin of so many Christians who cling to what has always been done and who do not change the wineskins. And they end up with half a life, [a life that is] patched, mended, meaningless.” The sin, he said, “is a closed heart,” that “does not hear the voice of the Lord, that is not open to the newness of the Lord, to the Spirit that always surprises us.” This rebellion, says Samuel, is “the sin of divination,” and obstinacy is the sin of idolatry:
“Christians who obstinately maintain ‘it’s always been done this way,’ this is the path, this is the street—they sin: the sin of divination. It’s as if they went about by guessing: ‘What has been said and what doesn’t change is what’s important; what I hear—from myself and my closed heart—more than the Word of the Lord.’ Obstinacy is also the sin of idolatry: the Christian who is obstinate sins! The sin of idolatry. ‘And what is the way, Father?’ Open the heart to the Holy Spirit, discern what is the will of God.”
Pope Francis noted that in Jesus’ time, good Israelites were in the habit of fasting. “But there is another reality,” he said. “There is the Holy Spirit who leads us into the full truth. And for this reason he needs an open heart, a heart that will not stubbornly remain in the sin of idolatry of oneself,” imagining that my own opinion is more important than the surprise of the Holy Spirit.
“This is the message the Church gives us today. This is what Jesus says so forcefully: ‘New wine in new wineskins.’ Habits must be renewed in the newness of the Spirit, in the surprises of God. May the Lord grant us the grace of an open heart, of a heart open to the voice of the Spirit, which knows how to discern what should not change, because it is fundamental, from what should change in order to be able to receive the newness of the Spirit.”

The God of ‘Surprises’

I cringe whenever I hear this phrase, uttered very often by you know who.
Does he think people are so dumb? (Apparently so!!)

When he talks about being open to the Holy Spirit, he’s implying that everything a priest or bishop or himself does or says, is as a result of the Holy Spirit working in a new direction. We know this is utter nonsense. It is just a way of justifying sin in a new way – making out that all our doctrines and teachings have been wrong for 2000 years – that we got it all wrong – in fact Jesus must have got it all wrong and what the evangelists wrote isn’t what they really meant!

The phrase “the God of surprises” or “the Holy Spirit surprises us” is a cover up for the evil intent of the changes which he himself (NOT the Holy Spirit)  is planning to introduce.

This man, Bergoglio, has made many inferences about change, and all his desires for change: for Lutherans and other Protestants, the divorced and remarried, homosexuals, women priests,  etc. Well, guess what? He is well on his way.

Firstly, last year (2015) he issued the new annulment reforms, which the committee was still in the process of formulating. But he went right over them and just announced it according to what he wanted. The Synod was meant to have a say in this, but he hasn’t even announced this yet.

Today, (21st January, 2016) I read how he has given a directive to Robert Cardinal Sarah about changes to the Maundy Thursday foot washing ceremony. As if this is a surprise! Each year since 2013 he has done his own thing. The ceremony by the Pope is meant to symbolize Christ washing the feet of his apostles, – teaching them how to serve their flocks. It is meant to be for “faithful” (read practising) “People of God”. We might all be God’s children – he created us, but we are not all “People of God”. We need Baptism for that.

He denigrated it to a ceremony where anyone is invited – Moslems, women, etc. He took it to new heights by having it in a prison, not in a beautiful, sacred place where the highest honour can be given to our Lord and King. What an insult! Now, any and every priest, (except those who will DARE to disobey) can (or will have to) do the same, because it is now law. I can see what is coming this year – women (who can never be priests), practising homosexuals (who are not repentant and don’t intend to be). The recent Vatican Pope Video should give us a clue.

Poor Cardinal Sarah – he was given the document to announce! I feel he is a good bishop, but he is trapped in his position as prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. He needs a lot of prayer. He needs to get out of there. Better to be sacked like Cardinal Burke.

Bergoglio, will start with these (small) things and then proceed very quickly to changing the Mass and the Sacraments. In fact, why do we even need Sacraments?! He will do it by stealth, and you will be surely told of all the wonderful reasons that these changes are necessary – and it will sound good – in human terms, of course.
Don’t you know? It is the Holy Spirit working, who is working in the world today to change sin into something seen as good. In fact, there is a spirit working – but it is not the Holy Spirit!

The good thing is that these changes exclude the Extraordinary Form (Traditional Latin Rite). Our dear, good popes John Paul II and Benedict, knew what they were doing when instigating the Motu Proprio, etc.

Get ready for a wild ride this year. There will be no limits and almost everyone will welcome all the changes with open arms, and those who don’t will be too afraid to say a word.

See a less emotional article at: http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/the-inevitable-takes-place-pope-francis.html?m=1

The English translation of the Vatican declaration can be seen in full at the Rorate Caeli link listed above.

Excerpts from Vatican Information Service:
…
“After careful consideration”, he continues, “I have decided to make a change to the Roman Missal. I therefore decree that the section according to which those persons chosen for the Washing of the feet must be men or boys, so that from now on the Pastors of the Church may choose the participants in the rite from among all the members of the People of God. I also recommend that an adequate explanation of the rite itself be provided to those who are chosen”.
…
To manifest the full meaning of the rite to those who participate in it, the Holy Father Francis has seen fit to change the rule by in the Roman Missal (p.300, No. 11) according to which the chosen men are accompanied by the ministers, which must therefore be modified as follows: ‘Those chosen from among the People of God are accompanied by the ministers’ (and consequently in the Caeremoniale Episcoporum No. 301 and No. 299 b referring to the seats for the chosen men, so that pastors may choose a group of faithful representing the variety and unity of every part of the People of God. This group may consist of men and women, and ideally of the young and the old, healthy and sick, clerics, consecrated persons and laypeople.
This Congregation for Divine Worship and the Disipline of the Sacraments, by means of the faculties granted by the Supreme Pontiff, introduces this innovation in the liturgical books of the Roman Rite, recalling pastors of their duty to instruct adequately both the chosen faithful and others, so that they may participate in the rite consciously, actively and fruitfully”.

Francis And His Errors: “Jesus came into the world to learn how to be a man…”

[Francis said:]

Even though Jesus is God, He “is annihilated, He humbled Himself and became a servant. This is the glory of the Cross of Jesus”. [He added:] ‘Jesus came into the world to learn how to be a man, and by being a man, walk with men. He came into the world to obey, and He obeyed. But he learned this obedience from suffering.” (Homily at Domus Sanctae Marthae , September 15, 2014 – Original complete Spanish text.

The new website (run by a group of priests with permission of their bishops ) at
en.denzingerbergoglio.com/jesus-came-into-the-world-to-learn-how-to-be-a-man/#Francis  answers Francis’ comments very thoroughly.

Answers include Fathers of the Church, Catechism of Catholic Church, Scripture, as well as our dear good Popes Pius XII, John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

An essential part of the priest’s grace is the task of putting others in touch with God
Christ tends his flock through the Pastors of the Church

Every priest is called to help the penitent to walk on the demanding path of holiness

Listening to the confessor’s advice is important for the spiritual journey of the penitent

In the saintly priest, the Christian People recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd

…judges Francis’ idea on adulterine unions

The trials of Christians are indeed numerous, but they must be faithful to God in their marriage

Materialistic ideologies tell us it is absurd to observe God’s commandments

The only joy that fills the human heart comes from God: the cross of Christ

The Church has received from its Founder the mission of showing people the way to true happiness: fidelity to the words of Christ

…judges Francis’ idea on family

An institution of natural law based on the marriage between a man and woman

 Marriage has value as a natural institution and as a Sacrament Raised to the dignity of a Sacrament, marriage confers greater splendor and depth to the conjugal bond

The Lord is the centre and heart of the family

 The family is a necessary good, fruit of the love and total self-giving within marriage

 Today the essential characteristics of Sacramental marriage are misunderstood

Today the crisis of the family impresses upon children an erroneous typology of the family

The natural structure of marriage is the union of a man and a woman – this principle comes from human nature itself and not only from faith

JTM Crusade Prayer Meeting Thursday 21st January 2016

Prayer Theme:  Faith, Family, Church, Nations.

Prayer themes are followed chronologically, but the readings are chosen by volunteers, opening the book at random, after a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

Thoughts from  the readings today.

In the first reading, Jesus speaks to us of the urgency of this mission, and what it is like to belong to a family. It is a call to salvation of all those who follow false religions. (Themes – Faith, Family).

The second reading speaks of challenges to priests who will shortly have to make a choice. Jesus warns us of amendments to the Mass, of desecration of the Holy Eucharist, and  of the tolerance of sin. Jesus tells priests to “remain loyal”. Jesus tells us “Priest against priest. Bishop against bishop. Cardinal against cardinal.“(Where have we heard this prophecy before?!!) (Themes – Church, Faith)

The third reading tells us that the departure of Pope Benedict XVI is the “beginning of the end”. It tells us of the “masonic elite” and their “wicked deceit”. Jesus once again (as in the previous reading today) tells priests to “remain loyal“. He again tells us of the changes to His Holy Word, which will be “tampered with” (Themes: Faith, Church)

The Bible Reading, from the Letter of St Peter,  tells us how to live as Christians – which virtues are important, and how the practice of these virtues will lead us to knowledge. It tells us to work harder in these things and good works, for in doing so it will attain for us a place in the kingdom: – “labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election.”    A lot to think about for us Crusaders!

This Mission is the last Gift of Prophecy sanctioned by My Father to save souls

1 September 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, the speed at which my messages are being given to humanity is indicative of the urgency of this mission. So many people in the world are lost. So many poor souls do not know who God, My Father, is. So many do not accept me, his beloved son, as the true Messiah.

This mission is the last gift of prophecy sanctioned by My Father to save souls.
These messages are for Christians, jews, muslims, atheists, agnostic and all those who seek solace in man-made religions. All people, all souls, have the same desire to find meaning in their lives. For most it is heart breaking if they do not believe in God, for they believe that all ends when their life on Earth expires.

Oh if only they could see what happens when their souls come before me. They see me and are speechless for they cannot believe that I am real. The joy in many such souls is matched only by relief if they die in a state of grace. However, the joy of those souls in darkness, when they see me, is cut short and they drift away from me, into the depths of Hell in a state of shock and despair.

Those souls who know of God’s teachings, through his prophets and as a result of my own mission on Earth, and who reject me, know this. You have chosen to turn your back on the truth. Because of My Love for you I will do all I can to open your eyes. I will bring gifts and because of my Great Mercy I will save you. I call on all of you, irrespective, as to which religion you follow, to listen to these words now.

You all know what it is like to be part of a family. Some of you are fortunate enough to have been born into a family full of love. Others are not so blessed and may have suffered through difficulties and darkness within the family unit. Others are lost, bruised, angry and cannot feel true love for their families. Some are cast out into the wilderness to fend for themselves with no one to turn to. Many simply need a crutch of some sort to lean on in order to feel hope.

This is why many poor souls try to find religions, which provide that missing link.
Sadly this simply leads them into further despair. For these religions are based on a lie.
Lies hurt you children. They give you a false sense of security. These religions have no substance because they do not follow the truth, the path of the Lord.

Just know that we, the Holy Trinity, are your family. The new Heaven and Earth will be your true home. Follow me on the path of truth so I can take you to your rightful home.
A home so full of love and joy that it is all you need strive for. Please open your eyes because the time has come for the world to be finally presented with the Covenant of truth.

My Death on the Cross was a Covenant to bring you salvation. My second coming is also a Covenant, the Final Covenant, to bring you home to God, the Creator of all things.
My Father, God the Most High, is now sending me soon to bring salvation to all of his children.

I can only do this and fulfill My Father’s promise if I can save every soul. Do not block my path because of doubts. Do not reject my attempts to bring salvation to every soul. Do not forfeit the chance to live a fulfilled life full of love, joy and wonder, in peace and harmony, in the new era of peace.
Your Jesus

The family unit, and the destruction of it, will be at the root of everything

23 December 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, many of those sacred servants of mine, are to face a terrible challenge.This will be one, which will convince them to take one of two separate paths.
It will be up to each, by his own free will, as to which path he must choose.
For the abomination will make itself known shortly.
Many of My sacred Servants will not be immediately aware of what is happening. It will only be when they read letters, given to them from those in high places, that they will find difficulty. Those who uphold my holy word, given to man through the gift of the holy Bible, will be challenged and urged to accept amendments. These amendments will be given to them and they will be expected to swallow them, and accept them as the truth.

They amount to one thing. They will urge those holy sacred servants of mine, to accept tolerance of sin. They will be told that God is an ever-merciful God and that he loves everyone. Yes this part is true. But then, they will be instructed to condone laws, which are an abomination in my eyes.

The family unit, and the destruction of it, will be at the root of everything.
Others will be asked to accept a new type of ceremony, which will replace the Mass and the presence of my Holy Eucharist. It will be deemed as an all-inclusive move to join all Christians and other religions as one.this will be the beginning of the end.

The day the daily sacrifices of the Mass are cut will be the beginning of all events to unfold, as foretold to John the evangelist. It will be the time of the rise of the beast and his influence will be great. He will win over the hearts and souls of many priests. His aim is to stop all Masses and to desecrate the Holy Eucharist. He already does this, through black Masses, held in many Catholic Churches.

The core of disloyal servants is plotting against My Church and they will mislead many.
Be alert. Open your eyes and beg me for the strength you are going to need, in order to stand up against this vile and wicked plan. This battle within My Church on Earth will be vicious. Priest against priest. Bishop against bishop. Cardinal against cardinal.
Let it be known that those amongst you, My sacred Servants, who know me and love me, I will lead you. I will guide you. I will give you the strength to deal with these enemies of God.

You are not alone.You must never listen to lies, given or presented to you, in my Holy Name. Only you know the truth in your hearts. Listen to your heart. Remain loyal to all that you have been told is the law of God. If you are presented with anything, which seems to be in contradiction of My Teachings, then you must turn your back.
Your Jesus

The false prophet will now take over the Seat in Rome

17 February 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, the schism within the Catholic Church, as foretold, will now be witnessed, for all the world to see. The departure of my dearly beloved Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI, marks the beginning of the end.I have, through you, my chosen prophet, over the last two years, tried to prepare My Church on Earth for this sad event.

The masonic elite have grasped control over My Church and they will wield the most wicked deceit upon Catholics.The keys of Rome are now within my hands having been passed over to me by My Father. I will direct all of my followers so that the truth can be sustained and that my Holy Word remains intact.

The False Prophet will now take over the seat in Rome and my word, just as it was in my time on Earth, will be treated as heresy. Make no mistake, for as the deceit is presented to the world, as if the new reign represents the truth, you, My daughter, will suffer terribly in my Holy Name just as the prophets, which came before you.

My followers must remain calm and pray for the salvation of all of my most sacred servants who will be caught up in this abomination. I call on them to respond as follows.
Continue to follow My Teachings. Never waive from the word of God. Remain loyal to your sacred duties and administer the holy sacraments as you have been instructed by me.

The teachings of the Catholic Church, based on its formation by my apostle Peter, remain infallible. Now this will change once the foundation is rocked by the changes to come.
Shortly, you will no longer recognise My Church and you will feel very uncomfortable when you witness how my Holy Word will be tampered with.
Your Jesus

Bible Reading:  2 Peter 1: 3-11

[3] As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue. [4] By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. [5] And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
[6] And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness; [7] And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity. [8] For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. [10] Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
[11] For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

 

JTM Crusade Prayer Meeting Tuesday 19th January, 2016

Prayer Theme:  Salvation of Souls.

Prayer themes are followed chronologically, but the readings are chosen by volunteers, opening the book at random, after a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

Thoughts from the readings today.

The readings today , as always, are true to the theme (Salvation of Souls). They remind us of events which are happening around us in the church/world today.

The reading from the Bible ( St Paul to the Corinthians) speaks of heresies and schisms in the Christians who meet  for the Eucharist. Indeed this is true today.Many of those with whom we worship may be tempted to believe/ accept some of the heretical ideas being put forth by bishops, priests, cardinals and the false prophet. Another key phrase was “When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper”. Eventually, those coming to  Church will not be there to receive the Eucharist, for they will no longer believe in the true presence.

St Paul continues to warn the early Christians about eating/ drinking of the Body/Blood of the Lord unworthily – reminding them that this brings judgement upon them. Today this reminds us of those who have been especially invited to do so by the false prophet himself.

The first reading from the Book of Truth, is a warning from Jesus to those who have committed the sin of abortion that without remorse, their punishment is eternal. What stands out is not those who have committed abortion, and those who actively participate, but those who “Accept abortion …”.

The second reading from the book of Truth is also about the Salvation of Souls. It is a loving invitation from Jesus, to ask Him for whatever we need and a promise from Him to protect us and even give us a sign, if we ask Him – “I promise that you will be given a sign that I have responded to your cry to me”.

The Readings:

1 Corinthians 11:18-30

[18] For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it. [19] For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you. [20] When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper.

[21] For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. [22] What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. [23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. [24] And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me. [25] In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

[26] For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. [27] Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. [28] But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. [29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. [30] Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.

 

The sin of abortion is a mortal one and those responsible will burn in the fires of Hell for eternity

 1 May 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, this intervention by me, the lamb of God, by revealing to the world these messages, has been foretold.
Those of you who follow the word of God must be at peace, as I do not want you to distance yourself, for I love you.
You must never fear My Love, even if sin separates you from me.
I open the eyes of all who want to see and my holy word will shut the eyes of those who refuse to accept my hand.

I hold out my hand to you, my beloved children, so that I can pull you to safety, away from the vultures who wish to devour your souls. Every day, from this day forward, you will hear many voices shouting – demanding that you listen.They will present you with diabolical lies and arguments, disguised with the sweetness of honey,
coaxing you, with a never-ending barrage of arguments, to hear their reasoning, in the name of humanitarian causes – which condone sin – they will not stop until you accept what they wish to force you to swallow.

Abortion, murder in the eyes of God, will be forced upon all nations as a sign of defiance against the Almighty Father, God the Most High.
When you condone this wicked abomination, you are guilty of terrible sin.
The sin of abortion is a mortal one and those responsible will burn in the fires of Hell for eternity. To those of you who refuse to accept this grave error, you have little time left to secure salvation.

For when the great day comes, unless you have turned your back on this wicked act, you will never see the face of God. Murder is one of the most serious acts of defiance against God and it will be punishable by castration.

The great divide, amongst the human race, has begun. Those who side with the beast and condone all that defies the word of God will be separated from their brothers and sisters.
Do not underestimate my warning.
Accept abortion and you accept the deliberate killing of a child of God.
If you cannot find remorse in your soul, then you will never see me.
I will cast you into the wilderness.
My Love and mercy may be great – I will forgive the most blackened of souls, but without remorse, My Justice is final. My punishment is eternal.

Love me and I will cherish you.
Destroy the life of another human being, created by the love of My Father, and you too, will lose your life.
Your Jesus

Ask and you will receive is not an idle promise that I make

3 May 2014

My dearly beloved daughter, when I ask people to trust in me, this is a very difficult thing, for many people to do. So many find it hard to trust in My Love for humanity, when they rely on their own faith, in order for them to surrender completely to me. It is only when you fully surrender yourselves, into my care, can you feel safe, protected and at peace. My Love, when sought out by you, will cover you, when you hold out your arms and call out to me as a little child.

Children place all their trust in their parents, when they are little. They know only the difference between what feels right and what feels wrong and so they rely completely on the adult to protect them. Children do not think twice about running to their parents for comfort and to seek refuge. The faith of a child is strong. He does not question, for he believes, truly that he will find safety in the arms of a loving parent.

I am to be trusted, for all that is asked of me will be done, if it is for the good of the soul.
Ask and you will receive is not an idle promise that I make. I relish the act of lavishing my gifts upon each one of you. When you ask me to help you, I hear, feel and respond to all that you desire. Allow me the chance to prove My Love for each of you. Let me show you the proof of my intervention.

It is at this time of existence, that I, Jesus Christ, will make my presence known in all that you ask of me. It is at this time, that I will enable you to feel my presence, witness my great acts of intervention in your daily lives and to understand the power of your prayers.
For these are the days of great miracles, which I bequeath to humanity, more than at any other time, since I walked the Earth.

When you truly place all your trust in me, I can work great miracles to bring you, not only relief from suffering, but to draw you even closer to my Sacred Heart.When a child knows that a parent loves him, he feels secure in the knowledge that he is protected. Know that by trusting in me, I protect you all and I will flood each of your souls with a deep sense of peace, which you will find nowhere else on this Earth. Come to me today and call on me to help you – no matter what worries you may have.

Recite this special prayer, every time you are in distress, and I will respond every single time.
Crusade Prayer (148) come to my aid:
O my Jesus, help me, in my time of great distress.
Hold me in your arms and take me into the refuge of your heart.
Wipe away my tears.
Calm my resolve.
Lift My Spirits and fill me with your peace.
Please grant me this special request (mention it here…).
Come to my aid, so that my request is answered and that My Life can become peaceful and in union with you, dear lord.
If my request cannot be granted, then fill me with the grace to accept that your holy will is for the good of my soul and that I will remain faithful to your word, forever, with a kind and gracious heart.
Amen.

Always call to me, whenever you are sorrowful or in need of help and I promise that you will be given a sign that I have responded to your cry to me.

Your Beloved Saviour.
Your Jesus

Thought for the Day – Monday 28th December

The thought for the day is from Donna, who opens the Bible randomly each day for a point to reflect upon.

Monday 28th December, 2015

The Bible used is the CTS New Catholic Bible 2007.

St. James says in chapter 2:

My brethren, do not hold the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Lord of glory, with partiality. (1)…

Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into courts?
Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? (6-7)
And
“You believe that there is ONE GOD. You do well.
Even the DEMONS believe – and tremble!
But do you WANT to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” (19-20)

Comment – There is a lot of food for thought here:

  • Bishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) is being taken to court for handing out a booklet entitled “Don’t mess with Marriage” which was the result of the Aust. Bishops’ Conference outlining what the Catholic church believes about marriage.
  • It was deemed to be discriminatory according to a local Tasmanian law.
  • The name of “Christ” (Christian/s) by which we are called.
  • There is One God –even the demons believe this. Those who are not Christian do not believe in the same god as our God. Their god is completely different to the Christian God – the one True Trinitarian God.
  • Faith without good works is dead – A declaration of faith  is not enough according to the Bible (as some Christians believe). Good works alone are not enough either! True faith is seen through the good works.
