A Vision of a Burnt Out City

Bethany Supernatural Gifts from God ,

During my quiet times I received a very disturbing vision. I saw I believe a great big city that a fire went through it. I am not sure if it was the efforts of a nuclear or a comet or what? It was flattened and had only one sky scrapper standing. The whole city was like charcoal. Very lifeless looking and all grey. There was no colour except in one spot. The thing that really impressed me the most was, there was a very faint light in one spot. It was faint and weak looking. It seemed to be a person or a family that had survived.  The person seemed to be turning to Mary the Mother of Jesus for help. I saw a picture of a woman that had the clothes of that era that Mary was alive in, and she looked liked a religious picture of Mary also. So that is why I thought the person may have been praying the rosary for example. I also saw what looked liked a solid stone circular shaped that had a round hole in it and it was like in the air. The power that came from that hole was all powerful and merciful, flowing from it. It was pouring out from the hole I believe to the person praying. Jesus sacrifice still made Mercy possible even in the times of God’s great Justice. I believe also Mary is a very important intercessor during those times, because peoples faith might be too weak to believe God will hear their prayer.I felt God was showing me that even though the persons’ faith was weak it was also powerful, because God is powerful.

isWNUVGOVLWhen we say the rosary, we are actually meditating on scripture and asking Mary to pray on our behalf. Saying the rosary has 15 promises attached to those who say it. The promises were not made up by somebody, but came from God through Mary to two saints to spread the devotion all over the world. The saints were St. Dominic and Blessed Alain. At Fatima (1917) Our Lady said: “I am the Lady of the Rosary. Pray the rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.” So that is why I think the person was saying the rosary. The person’s faith was weak, but because God is a very generous and even during His wrath the prayer was strong. You only need a faith of a mustard seed to move mountains according to what Jesus teachings.

So I think this vision is to encourage people to realise doesn’t matter how weak your faith is, it is still important to God and God will act on it. I also believe this vision is also backing up the importance of the communion of saints. Alone we can’t make it, but with the help of all the angels and saints in heaven, we have a strong army of people helping us, who are in a very good position to intercede for us. They made it and really have faith in God’s mercy, because they see it in all its glory, even in times of what looks hopeless to us. It is never hopeless to God. But there is a prophesy in Revelation in the back of the Bible that the Anti-Christ will rule the earth for three and half years. During that time the martyrs are going to be cruelly tortured like never known in history. So they are in need of prayers now. I pray for them even now, because I know God will answer them. The more we pray the more we will help them. To me prayer is a bit like saving your money. The more you can save the more expensive an item you can buy. Just look at houses for example, the more expensive it is the grander it should be. Our prayers to me are like that, the more we prayer the more help will come their way if we pray in faith and humility and love.

Last Days

Bethany Uncategorized

I originally wrote this article as a letter to my family and relatives and as I was reading it I felt God’s Spirit telling me it is a good article don’t waste it. Meaning for me to post it for other people to  read as well as my family. So here it is with some changes.

I am over excited. Videos of different visionaries have been saying Christ is going to take His Church anytime now. And He is saying there is no going back. At other times He has been saying He is coming very soon, but He has also been saying pray for extended time, which we all have been doing. So that has allowed Him to hold Him back His hand of Justice. Now He is saying there is no going back, in other words we can expect Him anytime now. He said every minute you have is a gift from God. We are getting so excited. One visionary said many of you are feeling it in your spirit. I feel it, I hope you do too. If we miss it, and most Christians will, they will have to face the Great Tribulation with the rest of the world. It is never too late to repent, while there is still breath in you. But it is going to be much harder to be Christian during those days than before the rapture. Good and evil will stand out like never before. And the world is truly going to hate Christians like never before.

I think the 3rd world war will break out first. Then the so called peace maker will stop the war. Unknown to many he had originally started the war in the first place. So that he can fool people the better. By looking like a very powerful, successful, strong and good leader that has other people’s interest at heart. It will be all lies. He will be what the Bible calls the Anti-Christ.

Don’t take the mark of the beast. It is a microchip that they insert in your hand or your forehead according to the Bible that is where the mark of the beast goes. It is already beginning to be advertised by the media overseas, as a great thing. They tell you how it is going to be so convenient. You won’t have to carry money around you and so you will be able to buy things in the store without paper and plastic money and so on. In the Bible it will tell you in the end you won’t be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. And that is what the chip is. In the end it will control your mind, they are not going to tell you that. You won’t be able to repent, because they will block God out of your mind and also they will control your emotions as well. In many ways you may as well be a robot.

There is a video that a woman scientist said that they have been secretly planting this chip in people, without their permission, or their knowledge during surgery. I don’t know what doctors are doing it or which hospitals it is happening in. She just said millions and millions have had it done to them in the last 10 years. Operations like hip0 and knee replacement and breast enlargements and so on. She was an American scientist very high up in her field. That is all I can tell you. I have an idea, it is just my opinion that she could well have been converted to Christianity and now has a conscious, so she is blowing the whistle. She said this chip means all those who have it, are now linked up to the world web. So it is preparing us for the one world government, so that the Anti-Christ will be able to rule the world so much easier. Jesus has told the prophetess Marie Diving Mercy about this years and years ago. And God said He won’t judge those who have been implanted with this chip without their knowledge. But truly don’t do it voluntary because that is a different story.

In the Bible it says people who receive this mark (in Revelations) that they will seek death for six months, but they won’t find it. Visionaries have seen in their dreams people trying to kill themselves through drowning and shooting themselves others may try to jump off tall buildings and still live through it. And they all look with disbelief that they can’t kill themselves. People who take the mark of the beast are in fact are going to suffer more than Christians who will be martyred for their faith. It doesn’t matter how horrific Christians die for their faith, in the long run, when the Anti-Christ is in full power those who take the mark of the beast, will suffer far worst than any Christian Martyr will. So you fear God  who has the power not only to kill the body but also take the soul to hell. Don’t fear the Anti-Christ more than God.

God said those who have missed the rapture can still repent even though they will see His Justice and fury everywhere. A prophet said people left behind will have to do their purgatory on earth. Catholics have always believed in purgatory. At present if we die now and are not quiet up to scratch, but we still love God we go to purgatory and pay the rest of the debts we owe God before entering into heaven. This is allowed because we are still in the era of His mercy, but that door is closing fast and we now moving into the era of His Justice.

You are wrong if you say it is not in the Bible. There are three places I have found with the help of somebody else that Jesus and St. Paul are talking about purgatory. But you have to read them very carefully. One of them as an example is Matthew 18:34. Talks about a person will be tortured UNTIL he pays that last penny of his debts that he owes. St. Paul talks about some people’s works will be burned by fire, but they themselves will escape. So in other words their works were not able to pass the test, but they themselves still made it.

A Protestant visionary saw in her own home that it was all lit up. She knew that represented she was saved. Then she went outside and it was all darkness, and she knew it represented the people of the world are not saved. On the porch it was grey and the couch was folded up. And Jesus told her He will not tolerate any more greys. You are either for or against me. That means total commitment to Him in order to be saved. In my opinion it means you have no other choice, but to become a saint in order to survive the Great Tribulation. In another era God did tolerate grey, they went to purgatory to be cleansed up before they went to heaven. during the Great Tribulation all Christians will suffer as if they are doing their purgatory on earth, because they are.

You will be hunted down like a wild animal and there will be so many people, not to be trusted that you will have to have a real relationship with Jesus in order to be able to recognise His voice. So He will be able to lead you through it all. You will have to have a supernatural faith. Don’t fear all things are possible for God, especially when you call out to Him in complete desperation. You will have your priorities in order. It will be all about survival and we will find a way if we have to. Jesus has told another visionary it is going to be the hardest time of your life and at the same time the most exciting time in your life. Because you are going to see miracles that are perform in Jesus name like never before in history. You will do greater works than Jesus. That is also in the Bible.

So I do suggest you to give your complete all to God now and don’t be so wrapped in the worries of the world. Get ready to put your spiritual house in order so that you will be taken up to heaven before the Great Tribulation. Before the Anti-Christ rules the earth. If you still have a part of you that is hanging onto the things of the world, you will miss out. And you are not to put your family or any person before God. God has to come first in your life. Or you will have to go through hell on earth for some years, before Jesus will come and finish off Satan and throw him into hell and all those who serve him.

isVJF7ODZBI have given you medals for you to start wearing them now for protection. They are not good luck charms, as so many people suppose. A prophetess Marie Divine Mercy was instructed to have them made and circulate them with the promise of protection. They are made to honour Mary’s new title called ‘Mother of our salvation.’ Mary did have something to do with our salvation. If she said ‘no’ there would be no birth of Jesus, and therefore no cross to free us from our sins. And we are all called to save souls, through our prayers and deeds. So if you see it in that light there is no need to be alarmed by her title. The medal is more powerful if it is blessed. So if I was you, I would either get a priest bless it, or ask St. Peter who is a disciple of Jesus, who is now reigning in heaven with Jesus to bless it for dyou, and he will. Just believe in God’s goodness and those of His children in heaven, they will always help you if you ask them.

She said wear it in honour of them and Mary and Jesus will protect you. The whole idea is to reflect on Mary’s great influence on Jesus as His mother. If anybody is going to obey the 10 Commandments it is going to be Jesus. We all know that Jesus honours His Heavenly Father, but so few consider that Jesus also honours His mother. Many will pipe up that we are all His mother and sister and brother if we obey God’s Commandments, and of course that is true. It is also true no one suffered for Jesus more than any other person than Mary. The more you are willing to suffer for Jesus the greater the friend you become of His. It is in suffering you prove yourself if you are really for Him or not. Friends do not run from you when you are in need. They help to share your burdens, they are willing to suffer with you. How much more that is true to Mary His Mother. You only have to stop and think what it must have been liked in her day, giving birth to a child outside marriage and not be able to explain ‘I didn’t do anything wrong.’ And watching her precious loving, kind and gentle Son die such a vicious death for you and me. If anybody knew Jesus! It is going to be the woman that raised Him don’t you think? Nobody has ever come close in understanding how she must of felt. The commandment that tells us to honour our parents, is the only one that has a promise attached to it, to who obey it. And that is you live a long life.

I cannot tell you how many times be wearing this medal I have been protected by fire in my house, because I have forgotten that I had something on the stove. How many times I have been protected from choking in my sleep, because somebody has put a curse on me and I have woken up in time. One time which I won’t go into depth, I saw in my dream two men sitting down and one of them stood up and gave me a hard star into my eyes. Unknown to me in my dream the man put a curse on me. (Witches and Warlocks can work through your dreams). My guardian angel, who was not part of the dream, told me to wake up and I told him in my sleep ‘no I am too tied.’ The next thing my dear guardian angel punched me in my abdomen and I woke up coughing. I would have died in my sleep, because as I was coughing I found I couldn’t breathe.

Coughing can be a sign when a demon leaves a person. I am into casting out devils. I won’t go into that either. Demons after they have been cast out in the name of Jesus , they will often leave the person through coughing, yawning and crying. So I knew why the angel punched me and I thank him very much for saving my life. I am constantly, and everyday being attacked by a few covens of devil worshipers I believe. Because my writings in Faithwriters, and this blog exposes how Satan works against us. So naturally the devil worshipers are trying to stop that. You would be surprise also how many miracles God performs in my daily life, because He looks after us. Many Christians have no idea how many preachers are being attacked through witchcraft. If you are in this circle you will hear often them talking about this subject. So it is not a secret amongst us! It is though for Christians who they do not consider a threat.

So please wear the medal in honour of both Jesus and Mary’s love for you. And you will see how many times they will protect you. You will still have to pick up your cross and follow Him. Which means also you will be hated for His sake.  By wearing the medal doesn’t mean you won’t suffer for Jesus, but it does mean He and Mary will watch over you and most importantly protect your soul from the lies of Satan.

 

 

 

 

Prophesies Can be Confusing

Bethany Supernatural Gifts from God

I have a book called “The Crusade of Prayer.’ These are prayers given to a prophetess going by the name of Maria Divine Mercy. The prayers were given to her by Jesus Himself for us to pray for the preparation of the second coming. The prayers are very powerful and I love saying them, because I know they make a big difference in God’s Will being accomplish by saving so many souls.

isCDQ8IBZ3It can get confusing sometimes when you hear so many different prophecies out there and they seem to contradict one another. What can be so confusing is that they are from very genuine people recalling visions given them by God. I remember I had a friend who was a seer of God’s once and she hated dates, because Gods’ timing is not ours. We don’t always interrupt what we are told by God correctly and that is where the confusion can come from. I do believe God sometimes can set us up as well.  I have experience it and I am sure many of you have too and we are so glad that He does. If He didn’t set us up sometimes, we would do certain things differently, but because we were trick into it, we received great blessings that otherwise we would not be privilege to have. God is good. He did command us to go out into the world as a lamb and be sneaky as serpents. If He is telling us to do that, guess who is being sneaky with us sometimes. He has too for our salvation.

Jesus is Leading

If having visions about the era of the rapture is going to get us moving, He will give us rapture dreams, but leave out it is not going to be in your lifetime. If it is the second coming that moves you then He will use that to move you. He doesn’t lie, He just doesn’t let you know everything, because it would be harmful. In one of my visions I had from God, I saw people in front of a table at a wedding feast and then suddenly everybody turned around and was dancing. I knew it was the wedding supper of His brides, but what was very interesting I complained to Him, because the picture was so small on the left hand side of the corner down at the bottom of the screen. I said to Him ‘can’t you make the picture bigger’ and then light dawned on me and I realised that was the message. More than three quarters was empty. He was telling me I knew next to nothing about the future, despite of all prophesies out there, there was a lot not being told for our sakes.

He said to one visionary that these rapture dreams were like fire drills we sometimes practise ourselves. We practise these drills to make sure if a real fire came we all would know what to do and it keeps us all on our toes. Well God apparently does these things also with us.  And without these fire drills we would all be asleep spiritually and then the end of the world would happen quicker than God planed it. We were also told because of people praying in earnest last year, the rapture would of taken place last June. Prayers and sacrifice are so important it can stop prophesies from being fulfilled. For example I really believe God was going to end the world in the 12 century. As I said once before in another article, St. Francis died with a secret and a friar wanted to know what that secret was, so he prayed and prayed until St. Francis appeared to him one day and told him that God would of ended the world then, but because St. Francis was chosen by Jesus to rebuild his church and because he obeyed God spared the world at that time in history. God does know how to motivate us into action.

We are Still Very Much in a Spiritual War

We are still very much in a spiritual war and we have to be involved in order to win. We would be disobedient if we didn’t engage and fight back and declaring over and over again that everything Satan has stolen from us returns back at the very least seven fold. I was upping it to 7,000 fold return and God was really keen for me to do this. Most of us say seven times back return, but in my opinion it is because our faith is not strong enough to believe that God is that generous He would gladly return more. Matter of fact one day I said I won’t declare seven billion back, because if I got that return I wouldn’t be mature enough to know how to handle it. And then I felt straight away God’s presence and He was sad that I thought that way. In other words He just wanted me to have the faith to ask seven billion back and that would have made God very happy. So there is no limit to God’s generosity and we always put limits on Him, because we do not know Him that well so we don’t believe.

The important thing is despite of all the different prophecies out there we need to know one thing, and that is be ready because Jesus will come like a thief in the night regardless. It really doesn’t matter if the rapture be tomorrow or 4,000 years from now. We have to be ready now, because we don’t know when Jesus will come for us. We all could die tomorrow. So we just do as He says and love Him as if we are already in Heaven and that will please Him very much and the rewards how can we describe them.

1 Corinthians 15:58. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

 

 

Wrongly Judging One Another

Bethany Christian Living

is(15)Some people are like magnets, everybody notice’s them so unfavourably, more than many other’s. It just seems to be there destiny to be continuingly to be judged cruelly constantly, by others all the time. I had a very bad breakdown and it lasted decades, partly because people kept misunderstanding me, with their constant judgement of me. I even had a very powerful vision from Jesus over it. Early on during the breakdown, I use to say to God I feel like a three old who has just come back from fighting a man’s war. One day Jesus showed me a vision of a three year old in very old fashion soldier’s uniform. I saw my face heavily scared and this is what I mainly want you to see for yourself, how are you are going to judge me. He showed me my eyes, they were full of tremendous hatred. He then showed me how people saw me, and they saw the hatred in my eyes and judged that I was full of hatred towards them. Jesus of course knew what was really going on and He showed me that my eyes were revealing the hatred I was receiving from everybody else that past my way. He showed me that people saw me as aloof, when what was really going on, because of my breakdown I had to pull myself all together and it took all my strength to do so. I didn’t have anything left to spare to communicate to others, it was enough for me not to breakdown in front of you. So you can see we make bad judges and that is why it is wise not to judge anybody. Jesus has said we will be judged as we judge others, so let’s be kind to one another as Jesus is to us.

1 Samuel 16: 7

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

We are not to judge one another but we do need a supernatural gift from God called the gift of the discernment of the spirits. When you have this gift, God will reveal people who are genuine and who are deceitful. Who are a dangerous influence on you and who is lying and so forth? I have this gift but it not always in operation, so I do make mistakes, but it is a sure handy gift to have. This gift is not you judging, but God showing you what He sees through you. And we need it, especially now days, because there is so much evil in this world and so many people are trying to con you in signing up for all sorts of things. When God does reveal to you faults in others, it is because God wants you to pray for them, not to do them harm.

Satan Promises Many Things, All Lies of course!

Bethany Supernatural Gifts from God

At the age of twenty two years, I had just converted to the Catholic faith and became a very strong believer in the power of prayer. So I attracted a lot of attention from Satan, who did what he could to either tempt me or scare me away from my calling as a prayer warrior. He does this to everybody who is a threat to him and you can easily become one, just obey God and fulfil your calling whatever it is well and you have got Satan’s attention. When we give our all to God we become a dangerous threat to him. Unfortunately he has successfully scared or tempted people away from their most powerful calling, through his lies that he is greater and more powerful than God. If you remember the one in you is greater than the one in the world and that if you don’t give up on God, God will not give up on you. Do you think God is going to abandon you? Of course not, He is going to make you even stronger and wiser than ever before. With more knowledge on how Satan works and how he is doomed to fail, because he is so small before God he is only a speck, easily dealt with.

Fighting Satan

If we try to fight Satan using our own strength than we have indeed lost the war before we even began. We are only victorious in Christ. We just have to trust Christ and obey Him that is all. God has a master plan that no one knows about even Satan. It seems God always has to test us first, see how far we are willing to go for Him and then when we think all is lost that is when God most likely comes to our rescue. In such a powerful way we than marvel at how brilliant our God is. He knows all secrets and is all powerful and is humble enough to wait for the right moment to bring down His enemies. Remember Jesus was treated the same way. Jesus is our example, if we follow Him we won’t be let down, because Jesus is the only one that knows the way and is the way.

Luke 4:1-2. Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

Satan can and does try similar things out with us. Not long after my conversion to take prayer very seriously and pray for conversion of souls amongst other things. Satan gave me a vision and it reminded me of the temptations that he tried on Jesus. During this vision of Satan I was terrified, because it was so beautiful I had to keep telling myself that this vision was from Satan and not from God. I saw myself on top of a high cliff and I had reigns on like they use to put on small children to keep them safe, so they wouldn’t dash out on the road and get killed, before their mothers could catch them, I still think that is a very good idea. The reigns that I had on had a very, very long leash. I knew intuitively if I fell off the cliff by buying into the lie of Satan, I knew if I called out for help and then the angle who was holding the leash of my reigns would immediately pull me up. It gave me some comfort to know that, but I still had to fight the temptation off with all my might.

Vision from Satan

Satan showed me if I followed him all cities and even the harbours would be so clean. The harbour was so clean and beautiful it was like an Olympics swimming pool it was that clean. I managed by the skin of my teeth to stay firm and refuse to give into the temptation. Since I refused to give in to Satan, he then was showing off, by showing me all the people he had in very important positions of authority and influence and bragged and said ‘how are you going to win if you stay with God, when I have so many people holding these positions.’ I just stayed closed to God by my many prayers and then the vision was over.

You can imagine how I feel when I see how dirty the cities are and their harbours are today. Satan does lie through his teeth, he will say anything to get you in. I just want to mention one more experience to shows us up. I was about the same age again and I was in the train going to work and I was thinking of the time when Jesus was in the desert being tempted by the devil. This experienced happened before I had the vision I just explained. I thought to myself that Jesus wasn’t really that tempted, because he was God. Immediately God had to put me in my place by letting me experience a taste of what Jesus temptation was like and I was so afraid I didn’t believe my faith was going to make it, because I felt my faith sliding off me rapidly and I prayed and in God’s great mercy He lifted the temptation off immediately. Sometimes we need to be put into our place. Not only because we are so ignorant, but I believe most of the time our ignorance is due to our arrogance.

Supernatural Gifts

I hope people who read my articles about the different supernatural experiences I have had that I am not bragging to you about them. I am afraid I could not find the verse that I was looking for in the bible, but it well known text about some of the signs that will take place in the last days for example prophesy will be common place and old man will dream dreams and so on. If you are not experiencing any of these things, Saint Teresa says that the reason maybe, because you are stronger in the Lord so you don’t need them. I also believe it could also mean it will come later when God thinks you are ready for it. Many people will tell you to keep pressing in, keep asking and yearning for the gifts of God so that you can be used by Him, but never ask for His gifts for your own glory, you will lose your soul that way. I was told by Jesus a few times, I have to write and I tell Him every now and again that I can only write what I write, because I don’t know what else to write. I feel sometimes He lets me know when He is not with me, because when He is not, the article is never a good one, I still publish them though. I believe He leaves me to myself to protect me and show me always I cannot do anything well without God. when He is with me the articles seem to be gentler and has things said that I feel people have a genuine need of.

 

God Gives Grace to the Humble

Bethany Christian Living ,

Matthew 23:12 “Whoever makes himself great will be made humble. Whoever makes himself humble will be made great.”

It is very rare when we see somebody who is so humble that all their ways are holy through and through. Most of us are still learning. It has taken me a life time to realise that while I am being humble God gives me beautiful gifts and then I start to think I am somebody and then straight away God gives me some trouble to endure to humble me back down again. I have finally learnt what I am supposed to do. I am to remind myself all the time that I am a great sinner and because of God’s great love for me and the whole of the human race He forgives our sins through the blood of Jesus. Now I knew this in up to a point, but God has to teach it so strongly that it becomes more than theory and becomes a way of life.

I believe Jesus is on His way and is getting everything prepared for His coming. Remember He would want to hold off as long as He can to save as many souls as possible. The thing I am noticing and I wouldn’t mind betting you are experiencing something similar, is that God seems to be giving me a crash course on what He expects of me. God’s teachings have always been very important to me, but there is defiantly a feeling of urgency.

NestingisRKENV7PD

Sometimes I don’t know if it is me I am listening to or it is God’s Spirit directing me. Jesus explains in the Gospel during the last days it is like we are going to go through birth pains. And the pains increase in intensity as the time gets closer to when He comes. I have never had given birth to a child before, but I hear often when a women is near her time, she often finds herself getting busy like doing the housework. Like a bird has a need to get the nest ready in time. I believe that is what God is doing to me. I have heard about the three days and night of darkness, when hell will be let loose basically. We are told to stay indoors and cover our windows with blankets so we won’t see outside, because it is going to really frighten us. I know it sounds strange to cover windows if it is going to be dark, but there must be a reason for it, for them to tell us to do it. We must be able to see something even though the sky is going to be blacker then black. The Rapture is apparently going to happen a little time after the three days and nights of darkness. This is what I believe.

People who are proud and think they are good, watch out, because we can only enter into heaven if we are fully aware that we do not deserve to go to heaven. It is only because of God’s Great Love and Mercy that He sent His Only Son on our behalf to pay the full price of our sins. We are not good. We are very skilled and masters of great wickedness. Don’t consider you are better than another person either. We all do it and it is our down fall. The more spiritual gifted we are, often it is because God choses the weakest or the most sinful to show off His glory. When people see God choses those kind of people to do great things in His Name, it gives people hope that He would use them also.

People Have a Tendency to go to Extremes

Don’t go to the other extreme which we are all equally good at and that is to keep our eyes on only our sins and not look at the Love Jesus has for you. The straight and narrow road, is to not go to those two extremes. Admit you are a terrible sinner and be truly sorrow for your sins, because you love God so much that you don’t want to hurt Him in any way. Then believe you are forgiven and I am afraid it is a daily process. One day you are humbler than another, but if you are genuinely seek to please God, you already have. So don’t let Satan bring you down by trying to get you to think you are either a saint or a sinner. You are both, as all God’s children that follow Jesus His Son faithfully.

No Good Tree Bears Bad Fruit

Bethany Honouring Mary the Mother of Jesus , ,

isVJF7ODZB Luke: 6:43-45   “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of – I was thinking more about why many people including the Protestants seem to believe all the apparitions of Mary as being false and many seem to believe it is from the devil. It is true for sure we have to test out every spirit and that is what the Vatican does constantly. There was a saying in the Catholic Church ‘the quickest way to get persecuted by the Catholic Church is to say that you had a vision.’ You only have to look back at history to see how true this saying is.

Jesus Rocked the Boat

Most saints were given an extremely hard time while they were alive, because the church would not believe them. When the saints were safely buried and out of harm’s way, the church often canonised them. Saints are like Jesus they often rock the boat. People don’t like to be told they are wrong for one thing. They don’t like their spirituality to be upgraded. They want to stay in their comfort zone. If we are to follow Jesus we can’t do that. If we want to stay comfortable, we are going to find that we are on the road to hell not heaven. To follow Jesus you are always climbing to higher places of righteousness. Climbing higher and higher up God’s Mountain is never easy nor comfortable.

1 Corinthians 13:7-8. (Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails – What is the fruit of a believer in Jesus? Love!! Love of God and love of neighbour. Love is not always sweet and mushy. True love will speak out and even correct you if necessary. Because love doesn’t want you to waste your life and it is always wanting the best for you. Love is not weak. Love can be cruel to be kind even. People these days hate discipline more than any other generation in history before it, far as I am concern. The fruit of a true disciple of Jesus is explained to me well in 1 John4:7. Let us love another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Look Closely At the Apparitions of Mary

All these apparitions of Mary if you look closely and honestly you will see the fruit that has been offering to us by her, it is always for us to grow with love of God and our neighbour. If the apparitions were of the devil he would do the very opposite. He would teach us it is OK to be lazy spiritually, so that you will not advance in the Kingdom of God. Mary doesn’t teach laziness, she is telling us to pull up our socks. She is saying pray harder, obey the commandments of God like never before, because your soul and our world depends on it. She approaches everybody with love, she doesn’t encourage vanity or snobbery but humility and love in all her seers. She doesn’t draw people to worship her regardless of what people say, her attention is always bringing us closer to God through her Son Jesus. That is not what the devil would do.

Testing Out the Spirits

If it is the devil all the seers would be proud and educating everybody to take the easy and broad road to hell. Mary teachers us to follow Jesus by the narrow and straight road that only a few find and are willing to travel, because it is a hard and difficult road. Mary doesn’t teach to follow Jesus is going to be easy, she is teaching us not to get too comfortable here on earth as if this is our eternal home. Many people including Christians do live on earth as if we are not going to leave it. How dangerous. All the disciples with the exception of John were martyred to death, because they taught what the religious of the day did not like. What they taught was truth and it didn’t flatter their egos. Satan and all his followers’ uses flattery to get you to do what they want you to do. And so many people fall for it.

We All Need Help

God and His Children including the Mother of Jesus, speaks on the true path to enter the Kingdom of heaven, because they are sincere in wanting you to arrive in God’s Kingdom. People who follow the devil will say what you what to hear, so that they then can win your trust to get you to do what they want you to do and it is always to rob you of your inheritance that God is offering you.  The journey to heaven is not a push over. There are many trials to overcome and we all need to know how to handle these trials. Not one of us can do it on our own. That is why I love and preach the importance of practising the communion of saints so much. We all can do with extra help from the saints who have made it to heaven, they know the way. After all they have arrived!!! When you ask them to help you, they do according to your faith. The more you believe they will intercede on your behalf, the more spectacular the prayer gets answered. Saints are very kind people, because they are in the image of God. They no longer suffer imperfections like we do. They love you more than you love yourself. All of the inhabitants of heaven does. They all do the will of God in heaven, not like earth.

Why Should We Practise Devotions to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Bethany Honouring Mary the Mother of Jesus , ,

is(9)Mary has appeared so many times before multitudes, performing countless miracles to catch our attention to be serious in serving God, by obeying His commandments and pray without ceasing. She has kept asking us to do acts of self-denial. And she has told us how even good people are not listening to her. The need to pray for the salvations of souls is so urgent. Not that many people have listened to her, they just enjoy the miracles, like it is a side show. Centuries has past and most of us, are still not listening to her. Mary has told the children of Fatima to spread the Devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, because Jesus wants it. Now Jesus has told the prophetess Maria Divine Mercy that we should say the three mysteries a day, which takes about an hour, because of the urgent times we are now living in.

I know a great many people have difficulties in the idea that Jesus actually wants all people including the Protestants to say the rosary every day, but it is simply the truth. Many people try to explain away all these visitations of Mary as if it they are not true apparitions. There was miracles of the sun and everybody there saw it at Fatima. I have watched a show once that two men claimed that what the people really saw was UFO’s ships. It was not like it was the only miracle that had ever happen or the only apparitions that has ever been recorded in history. The evidences that God has left behind some of the apparitions are incredible. Science are at a lost to explain them and yet people do not look into it for themselves and find out about it. I believe if people do it would change how they would see Mary and Jesus’s love for her.

Mary’s Example to Us

I remember one of the times Mary appeared to countless of people, I think it was the Apparitions at Medjugorje, people had rosary beads. The rosary beads that had silver chains turn into true gold and the rosary beads that had gold chains turned into silver chains. There is so many miracles I don’t know why people don’t believe they come from God. God works through all who surrender to Him. Mary’s life example is so humble, faithful, courageous, beautiful and amazing. All Catholics I believe that have a genuine devotion to her or any saint get visitations or communication most of the time, in this day and age. I personally believe only a few wouldn’t, maybe I am wrong I don’t know, but I do know a great many people do receive visitations from Mary, me included. Mary wants to help us if we will only be humble enough to let her.

I have asked her for help so many times and she truly does help. Not long ago I was really praying from my heart for Mary to help me learn humility. Mary said that she will help me, which gave me encouragement no end. Then fairly recently I was saying a novena to Sister Josefa Menendez as well to help me grow in humility and she assured me that I will receive the grace. They do really help out.

The Immaculate Heart will Triumph

Mary told the Fatima children that, ….’In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph.’ This was said in 1917 AD. I have heard that during the Great Tribulation, things are going be so desperate that all denominations of the Christian Faith will unite just in order to survive. The more ammunition you have to use to survive in this war between good and evil the better are your odds. That is why I try to push Mary onto people a great deal. Her prayers strengthens yours. The prayer of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Rosary only takes about 5 minutes to complete. I have an article on it in this blog if you want to have a look at it. It is worth saying this prayer as long as you can. I try to do it an hour at a time.

Prayer is Like Food

I believe a true prayer life is like food. If you only eat cabbage for example you will get sick, to stay healthy you need a variety of different foods. I believe this is true of prayer. There are all sorts of different types of prayers and they are all in urgent need to strengthen your relationship with God and one another. For example there is a time of just rest in the Lord another time to meditate on the word of the Lord and another time to worship and praise and another time I call chit chatting to God and there is a time to intercede for everybody who is in need etc. If is not done from the heart you’ll end up becoming luke warm.

The more you sincerely love God the more you are going to love your brethren in Christ and you will want to help out. This truth doesn’t change just because you go to heaven. You will still want to help out with people who are struggling on earth. Why do people have such a problem with that? You know the earliest prayer to a saint to ask for help to my knowledge was a prayer to St. Joseph. It was found in fifty AD. People of the first Century who knew both Jesus and St. Joseph would of have said this prayer. It is a very powerful prayer, because St. Joseph lived a very holy life on earth. If we do that too our help in heaven will also be very powerful.

Some thoughts what Heaven might be like

Bethany Christian Living ,

There was a person who went to heaven that I saw on YouTube and she said that there is football in heaven. She reckons it is beautiful not like the football on earth. Other people say we basically do what we do here on earth, but everything is so much more joyous and so wonderful that it can’t be described. Music, visiting, driving cars even, beaches are in heaven, fishing and so on. One thing that one women mention was in her mansion, had a very big kitchen. Something I would be looking forwarded too. Heaven doesn’t sound like what I was told when I was young. That basically you sit on a cloud and just worship God for ever. They say that you are worshiping God all the time, but there is so much going on in heaven. I want to go there. I know Jesus wants us to think about heaven a lot. It keeps you positive and breaks your attachment of the things of the earth. It reminds you that your real home is in heaven. A place that is so exciting and creative, who wouldn’t want to go and live there for eternity.

A Visitation God gave Me when I was a Young Girl

isI2TNE013The little that Jesus has revealed to me about His majesty, as you can imagine their is nothing on earth that even comes close to describing anything about Him. You look at mother nature in the middle of no where and you can feel great power coming from a mountain for example. It is nothing to be compared with the power of God. It is just a small token of it. So when we are face to face to Jesus in all His glory, we will soon find out how small we really are before God Almighty. Once when I was a young child I had a visitation of God and I explained it to myself this way that I only tasted a teaspoon of God. His presence was so powerful I knew if the whole world was one mind, we would not be able to imagine what I experienced. I knew if God poured the power over a stone as He did with me the stone would worshiped God with all it had. So if that is only a teaspoon of God’s power, there is no way are we going to know what we are in for when He comes.

The Suffering We Experience in Life is Nothing Compared to the Glory We Will Experience in the Next

We live in our little world and don’t realise how big the outer world really is. Only God knows everything about us all. There is so many different trials out there. We all come from different places with different baggage that only God can really understand. The other day a word was spoken over me and the Holy Spirit touched my soul so deeply that I had a glimpse of what God could see in me. He revealed to me that my soul has stored all the memory of all the pain I have ever suffered from beginning of time to the end. My soul is still in very great pain but God protects us so that we don’t feel everything, that is the best way I can explain it. I saw and felt my soul experiencing a real deep appreciation and comfort that God truly cares about everything that I have had ever suffered in the past and He is going to reward me for it. I can’t exaggerate or even explain it that well, but I was crying so deeply, because I knew God really cared about every single suffering that I went through in my entire life. That He hadn’t overlooked not one thread of suffering that I went through. Just knowing God really loves me and appreciated all that I went through, that nothing is lost to Him, was such tremendous comfort.

People might think I am exaggerating about my suffering, but we have no idea how much our body and soul is holding.  I knew great healing of great magnitude will take place in heaven. We are all going to be in for a great wonderful shock when we are face to face with Jesus in His whole glory. We will no longer be seeing Jesus through a veil. We will all be healed and glorified through Jesus merits that it is going to be so incredible.

The Divine Mercy

Bethany Prayer , ,

The Love of God is the flower – Mercy the fruit.

Sister Faustina was born in Poland. At the age of twenty years she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. Our Lord chose to entrust her with the mission to spread the Gospel of His Mercy. If you meditate on the prayer taking in the words slowly into your heart, the prayer will have great meaning. It is a powerful prayer to win over your confidence that God truly loves you and is merciful beyond measure. Once you have confidence in God’s mercy then your prayers become extremely powerful, if you pray for things that do not offend God. If you pray for things that are good and not harmful to yourself and others that is. God loves to answers our prayers at the right time.

To the Divine Mercy

I fly to Your mercy, Compassionate God, who alone are good. Although my misery is great and my offenses are many, I trust in Your mercy because You are the God of mercy and it has never been heard of in all ages, nor do heaven or earth remember, that a soul trusting in Your mercy has been disappointed.

O God of compassion, You alone can justify me and You will never reject me when I, contrite, approach Your Merciful Heart, where no one has ever been refused, even if he were the greatest sinner. For Your Son assured me: “Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than my mercy fail to embrace a trusting soul. Amen

Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven, You are my peace. You are my salvation, You are my serenity in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts. You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life. You are everything to a lonely soul. You understand the soul even though it remains silent. You know our weakness and, like a good physician, You comfort, and heal, sparing us sufferings – expert that You are. Amen
