“God’s Church that Saint Peter Built and led just as Jesus Instructed him to do is not the problem; it’s the Diabolical that has infiltrated it to use God’s Church”

“17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19
Francis, Putin, Biden, Pelosi and many others hold hands with Satan!
This man is a complete FRAUD! He’s an abomination to Christianity and I have been a Catholic all my life! This was not a Consecration of “RUSSIA” only; Our Lady didn’t bring God’s request for a World or Ukraine consecration! Ukraine and the World were not the specific request made by Our Lady of the Church of her Son Christ Jesus! They had everyone attending wearing masks as the Covid Cult Luciferians that they are, this video says He made mention of Russia, nothing like what was requested and needed! The request stated that Russia would spread her evil ways throughout the world which it has done decades ago; even Ukraine is a place of thieves and criminals that continually made deals with Biden’s son, along with Pelosi’s, Romney’s and countless other political figures or officials family members!
Therefore specifically as I’ve already said the consecration was supposed to happen many decades ago to avoid the spread of Russia’s evil government which is based on Lenin’s and Marx’s satanic interludes who they worshiped, throughout the world which didn’t happen, making the request invalid now; unless Our Lady appears and makes another formal request of some kind that is fully substantiated, but with the corruption of the church that is highly improbable of being able to happen, so the damage is too far gone now, and the world is poisoned with Marxist, Atheist Evil! This Fraud pope is super tight with evil souls like Pelosi the Whore of the New Modern Age Babylon and Biden who is America’s Own Man of Perdition the most corrupted career politician in America’s history, performing like an Organized Crime Syndicate Racketeer for over 50 years while Pelosi’s family her dad included were in the Mafia!
Don’t make me puke with all of this horrible abominable lies and deception! For all intents and purposes this was nothing but smoke and mirrors to deceive who it will!
Just as the United Nations is now under satanic forces so too is the Roman Catholic Church as this Fraud pope has put the final nail in the corruption coffin just like Biden and Pelosi have done with the United States of America one nation under God! You had better wake up if you haven’t yet to what is really happening and how quickly the antichrist will be upon the world to rule everyone with chips and complete slavery to the merciless Devil!
Pelosi and Biden have pushed for Full Term Day of Delivery Abortion like nobody before them and Biden in his first 100 days in office appropriated 468 $Billion for abortion making him the abortion king; these monsters with this Fraud pope will not escape God’s judgment even though they dupe millions of people daily! I say they are marked by the beast and Satan owns them! Why else do you think the MSM have all sold their souls to protect them all, these Marxist’s; instead of doing their job of true honest journalistic reporting for the public’s best interests!
God help all of his true and loving servants to withstand all of these wicked satanic people who are attempting to create hell on earth for the antichrist’s arrival!
Father in heaven protect the faithful and innocent of your flock here on earth sending all the powers of heaven sooner rather than later! We so desperately need Michael the Archangel to bring his army of purely righteous angels to slay the beast and all of his cohorts with their earthly minions that seek to devour your flock! Amen?
Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence Morra III
God forgive me for my sins in the precious name of Jesus, my Lord Savior and Redeemer! Amen.

Due to a follower’s like of this post today I decided to go back to this blog posting of mine and add a bit of additional information as an amendment to the original, which pertains to the comments as well as the text body; so please also read the comments.
What follows is my response to a blog today regarding another apparent misdirection of the faithful by the active Pope Francis. I had to get into a more comprehensive explanation and chronicling of my own experiences that have led me to have my current perspective and belief that comprehensive efforts on many fronts including the Vatican are actively working to discredit the faith and renounce God’s word that Jesus Christ is “the Way, the Truth and the Life.”
It appears from Holy Scripture what Francis is saying flies in the face of what the Lord Himself has commanded us to do.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
I have a few things to add here! First I apologize for this extremely long comment but so many people around the globe need to get real. We are living in a most unprecedented time like no other in history when the digital age and information overload is non-stop, which is good and bad! The good side is that spreading the word of God and the Good news of the Salvation though Jesus Christ has never been so facilitated! But, the double-edged sword is at work in this, because Satan is using many of the advantages of high speed digital communication to confuse, misinform and outright deceive in earnest as the father of lies having these modern tools at his disposal! We now see a Pope that is false and I dear say he appears to be supporting the beast which I’ve become aware of over the last several years like many of you! My mother based on her long life experience and being a parishioner of the RCC had been saying for the last dozen years that Jesus is in a sense being crucified again by an out of control secular world and culture of death. Obviously materialism and vain exploits riddle the earthly societies tremendously while so many turn away from seeking God and prefer pleasure, lust and all manner of instant gratification. This leads to all manner of perversions and abuse which we read about or see on TV or the net news daily. Is it any wonder hatreds and violence plague our man-made system. This is to me a spiritual warfare like no other that has increased exponentially over the last 30 to 40 years and especially since 9/11/2001 which to me was a definite demarcation line or event to clearly show that two opposing ideologies or beliefs that have been colliding for well over several hundreds of years are now being set-up for a major showdown which is of course The Battle between Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the antichrist.
On Christmas 2018 I was interacting that whole week with connections of mine on a social media platform sharing happiness and prayers for peace and salvation when a rabble-rouse agent or troll kept appearing on this one particular post and he increased his insults at our belief in Jesus and indeed upon Jesus with many carefully orchestrated rants that seemed to both promote atheism and then Nation of Islam which ultimately appeared to be the mindset of this derelict hateful minion! I am a passionate person and yes I can become a bit angry when wicked people offend or attack those I love! I tried for the days leading up to Christmas to be intellectual each time this individual kept appearing not letting well enough alone and allowing those of us of faith to have a peaceful joyous Christmas to share and celebrate the birth of our Savior! I will not just pass it off I thought; so I took it as a “direct attack” by evil, which I never experienced on Christmas by anyone my entire life until then! I know from this event and so many others that were painful challenges in my personal life over the last several years or more that this is pure evil at work in the world and it seeks out anyone of faith to attack viciously with its sole purpose to dishearten or trouble the faithful while completely confusing the weak and lost; it is pure hatred I witnessed not only of Jesus but of all His faithful. This Pope speaks in contradictions and I never thought that I would say such a thing having been brought up a Catholic and knowing in my heart I truly love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! But, I won’t go into all of my reasons except one is that I reached out to this Pope at the Vatican during one of my more if not most troubled periods in my entire life where I was up against powers and principalities; or very corrupted political slaves of the Devil in my locale and I got “Zero Response” back from the Pope when at least some acknowledgement regarding the matter which I explained in great detail in a letter of several pages; would have been appropriate. Now I realize I should have sent it to Benedict XVI instead, but I was duped like so many to believe we had a new Pope Francis. Now in light of the most recent betrayals of the Church and its faithful this Pope has sealed his fate in my view as being derelict in the least or possibly diabolical at worst.
Before I show you what I said to that attacker of our Lord on Christmas Day 2018 I ask that you focus on this Scripture which says it all in my heart and mind as to why I felt it important to share this long explanation.
“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.” Isaiah 45:22-23
“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
Victoria, for a couple of days leading up to Christmas and right on Christmas this phony and deceptive guy who was commenting on a post about the two Scandinavian young ladies beheaded kept twisting truth like the Devil to make Jesus nothing more than some guy like Muhammad. His denouncing Jesus and Christianity therefore on Christmas set me off onto my mission, as he would not stop it no matter how many important things I tried to explain to him. He was a clever deceiver. He did however stop after this piece I wrote to him on the post!
Tony Aツaz Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” “Muslim hoax I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire.” Wonder NO MORE, Pay Attention and learn of your blaspheming error! You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected! Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous. First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said. Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist! The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven.
“In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such. An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen. After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion. The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God. According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God. Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion. For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)
These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such! Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic! In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy. Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom! Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion! It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said; he made it all up, the heretic! Islam seeks to conquer and must be stopped! And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!
After this experience on Christmas day 2018 the likes of which I had never experienced any such blatant antichrist in your face attack, during a most important religious observance activity for Christians, tells me that we are in the end times, as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to attack Christianity and it’s faithful; because the time is drawing near for God to return! Of course I could be off by many years but this is my hunch as there are so many signs and I was attacked by evil several years ago to stop me from being a witness and faithful one for Jesus. A woman of a consecrated Catholic order told me back then that there was a reason I was suffering for Jesus and it would become apparent at some point in the future why I was being prepared! Now I see in retrospect that God did want me to do something for Him and it could be just to be doing as I am or maybe something more; like a priest told me recently, “wait and see!”
God Bless You. Amen.
Lawrence Morra III
“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23, 24)
Because we who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior believe in the blessed trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that the Father and Son are one; when we glorify Jesus we are glorifying the Father. Therefore, the eternal glorification of the Father is through the Son Jesus Christ. If any people will not willingly give praise and glory to God in this life, they will do it against their own will throughout eternity. It’s made clear through God’s word to all who seek Truth, Hope and Salvation from a sinful world that in many instances is barely even a distorted reflection of God’s Glory, we must do our best to not be deceived making sure to discern God’s will from that of the worldly beast or even ourselves.
Thanks be to God. Amen.
Note: Upon my actual completion of this Blog in the very early morning hours today a comment showed up in my email from the author of that parallel blog which I’ve included with my reply below in the comment section in-case you’re interested. Thank you.
Further clarification needed here for lack of thorough communication on this one point! I realize Jackie commenting in the original post said more than I agreed to. I was agreeing that first Francis is not a pope; I know he is a fraud pope just like America now has a fraud President Biden, which doesn’t make all previous presidents frauds. The point of God being the Father who is in heaven is absolute, and no pope or anyone in the universe stands in for the Father; only Jesus Christ was the physical and spiritual presence of God the Father on earth with us, the Holy Trinity. This only occurred when Jesus was born a human being and became our Savior; meanwhile He is in heaven seated with the Father giving us the only direct presence of the Father which we can have now that is through Jesus Christ, which then allows the Comforter or Holy Spirit of God the Father to teach and guide us as we seek to serve the Father, doing His will alone.
John 14: 25-27 “All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. 27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.”
Amendment on 3/15/2022
In addition to the comment just mentioned that you may want to read I now ask that you consider these newest additional thoughts and historical information I wrote today to hopefully further convey to you how we must be very careful what we are believing and following due to the attacks upon the Church from it’s infancy and on throughout the millennia, all of which is meant to distort, disrupt and severely damage it; in order to confuse, scatter, isolate and otherwise divert God’s children away from His Church; placing them in severe jeopardy of being deceived as we now see happening in the Church! And how subsequently many Christians are falling away as prophesied would happen in Latter Days with a Great Apostasy; secularism, atheism and pagan belief with even completely distorted and perverted Christianity is rampant now. Thank you for your patience and understanding but most important for trying your best to understand God’s will through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
The rapid spreading of teachings could lead to different interpretations and practices of the faith right from the beginning, by a people who either were living as pagans believing in many gods or following Old Testament teachings handed down over the millennia from the prophets; but in either case straying or violating God’s word could easily occur.
To prevent that following the book of Acts came the Epistles of Paul, Peter and John by which the foundational doctrines of the very beginning of Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church were implemented; and we must remember that in that early stage and for centuries there were no massive numbers of the Bible for peoples throughout the world to sit and read daily as we now so conveniently have today and throughout much of the modern times. But even for those that could have a copy of God’s word it could be easily taken and intentionally or unintentionally manipulated for self-designed intentions and this has eventually happened throughout history since the time when Christianity began to flourish and even now in the present when God’s word is readily available!
Paul, Peter and John were the core leaders of the apostles who were following the directives very closely as to what their teacher our Savior Jesus taught and instructed them to do. This was why they wrote the Epistles which were and still are to Catholics foundational guidance meant to provide a structured clearer understanding of God’s word carefully interpreted and provided to the communities or societies wherever disciples of Christ go into the world to spread the Good News! Think of South America and Central America how many of the people there in those locales predominantly are Catholic Christians who are believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, there in those many nations that not many centuries ago were still believing in horrible falsehoods and pagan blasphemies that even included as in the Mayan Civilization the sacrificing of infants and adults both; to false gods and I say to Satan! The Roman Catholic Church that Peter started was given to the world as the order directly from Christ to Peter His leading Disciple; to build His Church, means he is directly responsible for this great Godly accomplishment and service to our Lord Jesus Christ which he did by being the greatly humbled faithful and completely loyal lead servant shepherd who did suffer for doing it being put to death eventually! Now think for a moment if you were the Devil would you not be extremely jealous of those so obedient to God that built this Church as a beacon of light and promise for eternal life as well as all those that follow it! Would you as the Devil want nothing more than to disrupt, attack and bring ruin to this “Saving Beacon of Hope” to the world that is providing “God’s Truth” through the “Direct Ministry of Christ” being facilitated by these Catholic priests and servants who are bringing multitudes to the alter of God in the name of “Jesus Christ” to be “saved from death!” So of course throughout the centuries and indeed the millennia Satan has attacked the Church from the outside by misdirecting faithful Catholics just like we see now in Washington with a most vile man Biden or a most despicable woman like Pelosi ruling in government affairs globally effecting so many in a negative extremely harmful way, both on a secular level of life and most harmful the spiritual life actually damaging faith deeply, while saying they are Catholics to further discredit God’s Church, and poison the well as it were! But then; to exponential levels by infiltrating the hierarchy of the Church and “crowning a false prophet” as the new Peter or current, “leading shepherd of the Church’s flock,” this Bergoglio who is not serving one master but multiple earthly masters, and Satan most of all! All churches have been caught up in one thing or another over time, first as breakaway offshoots of the predecessor foundational church, and now to the point where we even have the Presbyterian church not just supporting abortion rights but condoning abortion actually as advocates of it, and thus serving Satan himself; to me no less than what the ancient Mayan’s did, a modern version of paganism and falsehood!
Now also take into consideration this information that points to the truth of how Christianity has been sliced up into so many different subsets that I think you must agree, that created quite a lot of room for errors and or intentional manipulation of God’s word because all people are fallible and defective and are not the original leading Apostles Paul, Peter and John who knew more about what God’s truth is, than all the Johnny come lately types which creating this potentiality of failure that has been proven out over time to be the case that far too many times throughout just the last couple of hundred years, even leaving out some of the major demarcation points and departures from the mother original church; such as the Great Reformation initiated by Martin Luther.
“The Center for the Study of Global Christianity also has statistics that align closely to this number (see #41 in the link-34,200 denominations in 2000).
On a Christianity Statistics article, updated March 2017, states that thereare approximately 41,000 Christiandenominations, but they also state:
This statistic takes into consideration cultural distinctions of denominations in different countries, so there is overlapping of manydenominations.
The World Christian Database represents over 9,000 Christiandenominations. This number is quite lower than 30,000 but it also doesn’t say what who exactly is represented or who isn’t.
On Wikipedia they list about 1,100 denominations (according to my count) but Wikipedia isn’t official.
For more details on the breakdown of (30,000+) read this article (not a primary source).”
In America alone we are looking at an estimated 70 million Catholics which brings me to this original conceptualization of the church by its lead Apostles right after Jesus Ascended into heaven.
“Jesus set Peter apart from the other disciples during his earthly ministry around A.D. 30, declaring his primacy in the establishment of the Catholic Church after Jesus would leave them. Many modern Bible scholars believe Jesus knew of the need for church unity and specific leadership before leaving his disciples, leading to what he says to Peter in Matthew 16:18, “Upon this rock I will build my church.”Peter’s name means “stone” — a name that Jesus gave to Peter when he met him.
Roman Catholic tradition views this verse as Jesus’ formation of the papacy, making Saint Peter the first pope and establishing the Roman Catholic Church in the same moment. Through Peter’s leadership, believers in the early church could unite under truth and sound teaching. Here are some examples of the type of leadership Jesus expected of Peter and continues to expect of every pope that has come after him:
Early Christians were pluralistic in their beliefs. Early believers needed to defend the truth and establish a set belief system. In I Timothy 6:20, Paul admonishes Timothy, a young church leader, to, “…guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid profane babbling and the absurdities of so-called knowledge.” This verse shows that false teaching was spreading during those early years of Christianity, and Paul left the task of defending the truth to Timothy. Early churches needed sound authority to keep them from absorbing falsehoods.
Saint Paul also changed the concept of the church in Ephesians 1:23when he refers to the church as Jesus’,“…body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.”This unique phrasing shows that the church needs unity as the body of Christ in the world. A unified church can complete the mission given by Jesus to “make disciples of all nations”in a way that a fractured religion cannot.
To strengthen the entire church:In Luke 22:32, Jesus says to Peter, “I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.” In establishing the Roman Catholic Church and the papacy, Jesus commanded Peter and every pope thereafter to strengthen the members of the Catholic faith.
To guide and care for the church: The pope must guide the church like a shepherd tending their flock. Jesus referred to himself as the Good Shepherd and the church as his sheep in John 10:11. A crucial part of the history of the Catholic Church timeline is Jesus’ departure from Earth. Before his ascension, Jesus passed on the earthly care of his sheep to Peter, the pope of the Roman Catholic Church. In John 21:15-17, Jesus tells Peter to “Feed my lambs,” “Tend my sheep,” and “Feed my sheep.” catholicworldmission.org
On 2/24/22 I wrote the following in that day’s essay.
The Enemy Within the Church
Matthew 7: 13-15“13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. 15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”
Getting back to what you have said here about so many falsehoods happening in churches and all around us in this more and more artificial contrived world, which has taken the old “Ways of The World” spoken about in Scriptures and exponentially amplified its corruption, deceptions, temptations as well as great frauds that the masses are now believing and following; putting false gods before God Almighty of the Ten Commandments and breaking that first one with many or maybe even all the rest in the process! Just think of sins of the flesh alone which can and will condemn multitudes to hell, how in the old days the proliferation was minimal, but now with video and digital communication platforms this evil is anywhere just about with a click, it’s even in pop music and so forth; with many more in this age being ruined by sins of the flesh!
I say sadly that the majority of the human beings are now in potential peril of being unworthy of salvation at all. Industrial scale abortion is now to the point of a full term helpless baby being murdered and what could possibly be any justifiable reason for it, especially one that God Himself would accept? There is none, and so humans are making sacrifices of human babies to the modernist man-made Beast System and thus Satan, who is the prince of this world and who rules the flesh material sinful realm; even the blasphemous falsehood of a president Biden wants to push through Federal on Demand Abortion across the country; pure evil. This is exponentially worse than what pagan idolaters of ancient civilizations like the Mayan Empire did regularly!
We are told to be in the world but not of it and that is literally what it means and how we should live each day, but, sadly we do not; most are just going along for the ride and then faking belief and Trust in the Lord. It’s too easy to do and very convenient to have your cake and eat it too, and be as you said a Lukewarm Christian vs. the devout Faithful Believer in Jesus Christ!
2 Corinthians 10:2-4“2 I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh. 3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. 4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
Here is a portion of one of Billy Graham’s fine sermons that clearly defines what we are talking about here and should consider.
The warnings are clear. The Bible says in Romans 12:2,“Do not be conformed to this world.” The Bible teaches in Galatians 1:4 that,“[Christ] gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age [cosmos].” In other words, the world was such a great danger to our souls that this danger caused Christ, the Son of God, to go to the cross to deliver us from it.
Throughout the Bible, the lines are definitely drawn between the world of unbelievers and the world of the children of God. “Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God”(James 4:4).Jesus Himself said,“The world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world”(John 17:14-16). Again Jesus said,“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you”(John 15:18).
The Bible also teaches that the Christian will face opposition in the world. “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution,”said the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:12. Just as Christ’s life with all its love, concern and selflessness was a rebuke to the cosmos of His time, so our lives with Christ abiding in us today bring about criticism, opposition and persecution from those who cannot comprehend the mystery of God’s redemptive grace.
The Bible teaches that we are not to be discouraged by this belligerence. We are to consider it evidence that we are identified with Christ. Jesus said,“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven”(Matthew 5:11-12).https://decisionmagazine.com/in-world-not-of-it/ by Billy Graham | January 28, 2016 | Billy Graham
This internet is a Devil’s Playground and so many are deluded or mesmerized by the click bait and followers routine; followers for what and to what avail? This is mostly frittering and wasting the time away, that precious time we have to make sure we have our houses in order for the Lord and are working diligently to serve the will of our Father in heaven who put us here for a purpose; His purpose; so when Jesus comes knocking on our doors we aren’t caught unawares!
I have a few previous blog postings I want to share that hopefully will shed a bit more of God’s light upon this subject and narrative you have eloquently presented here.
Discernment and spiritual awakening with the Holy Spirit speaking to us and in turn we hearing Him is the best thing to seek in order to stay on the one path that Jesus explained perfectly; John 14: 5- 7 5“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”6 Jesus answered,“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
Let’s keep discerning and following the Holy Spirit not men or the system, but, still through discernment we can look for any good that exists in people or institutions and recognize any intrinsic good or value that God wants us to receive from them; learning to fully see God’s Truth in all things and make use of what he instructs us to, by His will alone; anything else will be not of God and we must reject it.
This world today is a very tumultuous quagmire and extremely dangerous for anyone, but, especially Christians who are being challenged and attacked from all directions! We must remember as long as we are in this battlefield our souls are in mortal jeopardy of being lost to eternal damnation. Too many people are nonchalant and think they are so on top of this professing to be good Christians, when they are just playing the game and are deceived or even deceivers; minions of the evil one.
This additional essay reblog posting of 3/13/22, does point out to me clearly just how vicious and dangerous the world has become since antiquity for Christians or those people who want to seek and follow Jesus Christ. The battlefield is all around us and growing more deceptive, intense and more totalitarian all the time because the heat is on to devour mankind!

Time to Stand Up and Be Counted
This following excerpt to me says it in a proverbial nutshell; which is what I’ve seen happening all around me so radically with hardly any restraint or resistance by the masses, making me sick and tired of seeing so many people that fall into the Trap willingly; like so many mindless zombies, all weak-kneed, cowardly and corruptible!
“In these days we see the masks of tyrants from all over the world fall, and unfortunately we also see so much conformism, so much fearfulness, so much cowardice in people who up until yesterday we regarded as friends, even among our family members. Yet, precisely because of this extreme situation, we discover with amazement gestures of humanity made by strangers, signs of solidarity and brotherhood on the part of those who feel close to us in the common battle. We discover so much generosity and so much desire to shake us from this stupor. We discover that we are no longer willing to passively suffer the destruction of our world imposed by a cabal of unscrupulous criminals, thirsty for power and money.”Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
I’ve written many essays reiterating the spoken words of this Valiant Faithful Servant of our Lord Jesus, who along with a handful of other top theological disciple/servants of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church, who have taken an absolute stand for Righteousness and declared to the world that they are squarely against all tyranny, falsehood, lies, deception and especially all of the current evils that are now blanketing the human race with a darkness the likes of which has never been seen or allowed before!
But this rampant evil now, is being accepted, tolerated and promoted by almost all the globalist elite along with multitudes of ordinary citizens, that are more than ready to welcome the take over of their lives by the wicked and powerful! They are being manipulated and propelled into this coming abyss by the requisite cohorts of Satan just as mentioned here int his article. “Klaus Schwab’s School for Young Leaders – the so-called Global Leaders for Tomorrow – beginning with Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, Jacinta Ardern and Boris Johnson, and before that Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair.” These are some of the leaders who are bringing many of the unwary right into the lap of Satan.
These are the many who will join the antichrist system on the horizon, while these truckers and their many supporters are willing to take a stand and put it all on the line for what is right and good according to God Almighty; I unequivocally take the same stand with the Archbishop and these good citizens, the children of God in the Holy name of Jesus! Amen.
God bless you.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

Tucker Carlson sizes up the good Citizens Trucker Rally in Canada!
Abp. Viganò endorses Canadian truck drivers, calls for prayers to defeat ‘infernal’ Great Reset
Mon Feb 7, 2022 – 3:53 pm EST
Help Canadian truckers at the border: LifeFunder.com
(LifeSiteNews) – Dear Brothers and Sisters Canadian truck drivers,
The global coup that in these two years of psycho-pandemic farce has been carried out by the globalist elite appears most clearly if we do not limit ourselves to considering what happened in individual Nations, but broaden our gaze to what has happened everywhere.
Your protest, dear Canadian truck driver friends, joins a worldwide chorus that wants to oppose the establishment of the New World Order on the rubble of nation states, through the Great Reset desired by the World Economic Forum and by the United Nations under the name of Agenda 2030. And we know that many heads of government have participated in Klaus Schwab’s School for Young Leaders – the so-called Global Leaders for Tomorrow – beginning with Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, Jacinta Ardern and Boris Johnson, and before that Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair.
It would seem that Canada is – along with Australia, Italy, Austria and France – one of the nations most infiltrated by the globalists. And in this infernal project we must not only consider the psycho-pandemic farce, but also the attack on traditions and Christian identity – indeed, more precisely the Catholic identity – of these countries.
You understood this instinctively, and your yearning for freedom was shown in all its coordinated harmony, moving towards the capital Ottawa. Dear truck drivers, you are facing great difficulties, not only because you give up your work to demonstrate, but also because of the adverse weather conditions, long nights in the cold, and attempts to be cleared away that you face. But along with these difficulties you have also experienced the closeness of many of your fellow citizens, who like you have understood the looming threat and want to support you in protesting against the regime. Allow me also to express to you my support and my spiritual closeness, to which I join the prayer that your event may be crowned with success and may also extend to other countries.
In these days we see the masks of tyrants from all over the world fall, and unfortunately we also see so much conformism, so much fearfulness, so much cowardice in people who up until yesterday we regarded as friends, even among our family members. Yet, precisely because of this extreme situation, we discover with amazement gestures of humanity made by strangers, signs of solidarity and brotherhood on the part of those who feel close to us in the common battle. We discover so much generosity and so much desire to shake us from this stupor. We discover that we are no longer willing to passively suffer the destruction of our world imposed by a cabal of unscrupulous criminals, thirsty for power and money.
In this relentless attack on the traditional world, not only your way of life and your identity have been affected, but also your possessions, your activities, and your work. This is the Great Reset, this is the future promised by slogans like Build Back Better, this is the future of billions of people being controlled in their every move, in all their transactions, in every purchase, every bureaucratic practice, every activity. Automatons without souls or wills, deprived of their identity, reduced to having a universal income that allows them to survive, to buy only what others have already decided to put up for sale, transformed by a gene serum into people who are chronically ill.
Today more than ever it is essential that you realize that it is no longer possible to passively assist: it is necessary to take a position, to fight for freedom, to demand respect for natural freedoms. But even more, dear Canadian brothers, it is necessary to understand that this dystopia serves to establish the dictatorship of the New World Order and totally erase every trace of Our Lord Jesus Christ from society, from history, and from the traditions of peoples.
Demonstrate for your rights, Canadian friends: but may these rights not be limited to a simple claim to the freedom to enter supermarkets or not to be vaccinated: may it also be a proud and courageous claim to your sacrosanct right to be free men. But your demonstration should be one of true freedom, reminding you that it is the Truth – that is, Our Lord Jesus Christ – who alone can guarantee you freedom: the truth will make you free.
Let us pray that Christ will return to reign in society, in your hearts and in your families. Take up the spiritual weapon of the Holy Rosary, and pray to the Blessed Virgin, Sainte Ann, Saint George and the Holy Canadian Martyrs to protect your homeland.
I would like to conclude my appeal by asking you to pray with me, with the words that Our Lord has taught us: may they be the seal of this awakening, of this national liberation. Let us all pray it together, out loud, so that our prayer may rise to Heaven, but also so that it may resound powerfully in these squares, in these streets, all the way to the palaces of the powerful:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit”
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”
Hi Sister Hope! First of all I send my prayer for Almighty God to bless you and your entire family in the precious name of Jesus. I agree with what you’ve pointed out here with great clarity and wisdom! You are holding true to your Faith in Jesus Christ and thus following the Father’s will as He inspires us to do through His Holy Spirit while of course consuming His Holy Words in the Bible.
I also see a problem besides Bible Thumpers which are too many “wishy-washy Spiritual Blenders” thinking they are showing others truth by being very selective choosers of Scriptures to promote a self-indulgent perspective or let’s say a modernistic PC or let’s be all inclusive gig which actually is causing many to stray from the Faith and “will of God” creating a secular man-made church system and the evidence of what I’m saying is rampant and in our faces! If you take the time to examine all of the information and other essays I provided these are just a few of the multitude of examples of what is Really Going On! We have multitudes of youth that put Taylor Swift on a pedestal and she is serving the beast system and Satan without a doubt! Even a so called Catholic woman who gains popularity on social media that I had to part ways with was doing just what I said, and even said the current so called pope is someone to support when she and anyone with a clue should know he is a Freemason sort of World System Pope, which is ludicrous as he is blaspheming God continually and then there is the Presbyterian church that says abortion is fine and they support it! https://lawrencemorra.com/2021/08/27/presbyterian-baptist-churches-join-new-coalition-of-churches-to-promote-killing-babies-in-abortions/
If anyone thinks I’m a Bible Thumper so be it, I’ll accept that title as I know it’s not true and what I am is a man who will stand toe to toe with any evil on earth and not back down who is in a modern world of many multitudes of the opposite of a Bible Thumper running loose and concocting or blending as they so choose! Mainly to give themselves license to live as they please and have all the things they WANT! Sadly with that most often times they are leaving God out and pretending; maybe delusional! When nobody takes a stand anymore then the world and all the people on it is done for! How else did WWII not end up being a victory for Hitler! When the going is tough the tough get going is how I see the task before us not any wishy-washy or oh let’s not look at reality and want to deal with it, lets just all sit around and talk nonsense like so many do who bring up religion and Jesus, but, are not in fully and willing to take a stand putting it all on the line, and I mean all; so many aren’t like this on the internet! I love talking many other subjects which I can look at as enjoyable and heartfelt fun topics! But, when it comes to Jesus Christ and why I’m on earth that is when it’s time to separate the men from the boys and the woman from the girls!
No church that serves Almighty God through Jesus Christ would even think such a thing let alone promote it to multitudes! I see far too much lip service and though I understand full well who Martin Luther King Jr. was and how wonderful a job he did in advocating the Faith, he was not living in this over ripe hedonistic, narcissistic and antichrist culture we now find ourselves in! If he were here now I’m sure he would address what I’m talking about very strongly and get people’s minds and hearts right who truly want to see and hear Truth, God’s Truth; but, there would be plenty who would not listen or care and even criticize him! Let’s focus at this moment how the world responded to Christ; they nailed Him to a cross, I deserve less? We all deserve far worse than that Cross eternally! That was us on that cross or should be if not for the Eternal Love and Mercy of God Almighty!
“9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.” Romans 3: 9-11
“12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” 13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.” Romans 3:11-13
The one world religion is on the horizon as many powers on earth are pushing cultures and societies toward it which is all in alignment with the antichrist agenda, we are in a world of “many antichrists” amongst us who are cheering on the coming of the actual false god; and to not be coming on strong against this now, is to be derelict or even participate with such evil like that Presbyterian church or the false pope is doing! Edmund Burke knew what he was talking about when he said, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
I don’t intend to be one of those and I say what I see as the Truth and follow the Holy Spirit that God has sent to me on many occasions in dire-straits, even saving my life from impending death a few times, so I was shown He will address what needs to be, if we are truly faithful and “take a stand” for Him offering our whole being as a servant unto the Lord God Almighty in the name of Jesus, along with continuing to do his will; not the world’s.
“15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth” John 17:15-17
“19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19
In this world, but not of it, is more how I live and even then I fail here or there because I’m fallen just like all of us! But, now that the heat is on and the spiritual warfare is at a “fever pitch” with many young innocent lives being lost forever; this is the mother of all wars coming on hard and fast, there is no room for getting wishy-washy in our faith and not doing things that need to be done, in order not to completely drop the ball as it were, and allow more weak-minded or lost persons to lose their souls with all of the mumbo-jumbo nonsense being poured out upon the human race now! I talk faith with anyone, but, I do not participate with games or half-truth speakers with forked tongues and the like or seeking self-aggrandizement of any kind when it comes to God’s will, and my own responsibility, to speak and live as truthful as I can.
I’m sorry to say it is, “Turn or Burn” and you nailed it by mentioning it, because anyone who has so much information or has their wits about them and refuses to “turn away from,” in the utter face of so much evil running rampant in this world now, and thinks they can chill so as not to get worked up over the world’s problems, which does require having a genuine conscience that serves God only; such as those have a big surprise coming, as many are going to hell and I don’t want to be one of them; as well, I prefer nobody will be, but, that is up to them to be sure they are following God’s will so they won’t be! I am a sinner and deserve hell and I have seen how the human race has gotten exponentially worse in its utter evil decadence and even arrogance, thumbing its collective haughty nose in the face of ;and yet with so much evidence in their faces, which to me is pure evil and Satanic, just like these pop stars or many a politician and billionaire corporate magnates, to even a Joe Smoe down the street who blows everything off that isn’t of any interest to him while he has his fun times!
What I’m saying is, I may seem hard core to some, but, that doesn’t faze me at all, because when moved by the Holy Spirit in this tumultuous evil world now, I must respond as the Spirit of God directs me to, and, I had to face powerful government crony powers and fight for my rights and even existence, so I have some knowledge and experience; know what I’m talking about. I did tell those powers that I won’t stop doing what I know to be absolutely right and necessary, and they can stop my body but my soul goes on and belongs to God Almighty, so I fear no man or beast!
So I don’t like the phony pretenses and airs of many online social media groupies and I stay away from them, I learned fast they are narcissistic self-worshiping, disingenuous fools, but, I can’t help them if they won’t hear truth in their own hearts, that is up to them to get down on both knees and crawl if necessary like I did, fighting tooth and crawl if necessary; to not join into the frenzied wicked Ways of the World!
Again I mention Taylor Swift who is so far into serving the beast system, and her doing so, young minds are sucking this crud up and turning their hearts over to this New Age Evil Mind Set! Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t see anything remotely approaching this debauchery on this global scale, but since his untimely death the world has gotten vastly more evil and the Devil is more cunning as he traps so many into this web of blasphemy! So I say it like it is and shout it from a roof top if I must, but, I won’t “go along to get along” like so many are doing! And I Hope, you will understand perfectly what I speak and won’t be in any way drawn away from God’s Wisdom and Truth that is there for the taking to those “who have eyes to see and have ears to hear and use them with an open heart to Jesus” in order to respond appropriately especially if speaking to Truth online, which is full of lies and half-truths just like the MSM is propagating to the world! I worked in that business and dumped it hard and fast just like Hollywood when I left it! In it we see a few success stories, but, we never see the multitudes who were lost and ruined possibly ending up in hell for sure, for partaking of those dangerous cauldrons of sin and self-worship and not doing the right thing; like as I see it now in this most tumultuous twisted world that is off the rails and going down hard and fast! Do you not see all of the children as well as adults who have been murdered and sacrificed for the elite power mongers of the world? With their total LIE and SCHEME to take over all!
Will the coming worse confusion like we already see be stymied or stopped by just talking easy or not at all to avoid bruising someone’s ego or feelings? Hardly, and the trouble is going to get exponentially worse, not better for this corrupted sinful world! Sure we can and should take time to enjoy the little things all that good that is free in life; as we share these good things with each other as God wants us to! But, there has to be many who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get right into the thick of it, those people Edmond Burke was talking about, to prevent loss of souls to hell; which requires many strong actions and words of Truth; the Truth hurts often times, and we all need some huge doses of it now; Big Time!

I’m like that man in a very important way
After reading and watching this video I agreed with what Kurt Warner because I have to say many years I can see I have been a lot like him not in athletic prowess or any other mundane attributes and stature in life, but in our view of faith in Jesus Christ and how truly committed we both may have been throughout our lives and in the right ways, as I too have been raised as a good Catholic boy and on into my adulthood staying with the Church being comfortable in that faith even though I see so many attacks by Satan upon the Church over the years and how its now horrible to see a heretic ruining the Church from within; just like Biden and all the other destroyers working with him are dancing around like criminally insane drunk with power Banshees seeking more power and total control while tearing apart the Greatest Nation on earth bar none for so many years, which is now being reduced to rot and cannon fodder as these communist dictators are obliterating it from within.
I could identify immediately with how Kurt loves children and can connect so well with them as he did with his now wife’s son so early on in their relationship; as I’ve always been one to watch over the younger siblings or cousins growing up and then eventually wanting to help any of my nieces or nephews when I could by always at least wanting to be there and give them the best advice and genuine love I could. Like a second dad or just a really loving uncle should. There is so much need out there in this messed up screwed over world right now and what a shame, that so many children are falling through the cracks and into serious hardship or even much worse turmoil, as they grow up in broken truly dysfunctional insecure and even godless homes! Add to that now a world that is even more dysfunctional than that, which is coming apart at the seams! I see how guys like me not due to being cold or indifferent but how we can want to disengage from this horrendous mess because there is a slippery slope out there too, an ugly underbelly of troublemakers, where a person man or woman can have great noble intentions, and then end up in some quagmire of insanity because evil is getting its due; especially where and when it comes to true goodness, which it hates with a vehement passion. End times Good will be despised it says right in Scriptures, by so many people in all stations of life.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
A world where the following adage has taken a full grip and bite out of genuine giving humanity, due to the dangers of even being good! Like being a walking target in an upside down world now; where the bad guys are allowed to burn cities down and rape or pillage and walk away scot-free!
The road to hell is paved with good intentions is a proverb or aphorism. An alternative form is “Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works“.[1]
“Another interpretation to consider would be; One is naive and acts in good faith with no altruistic objective. It merely seems as the proper or even sensical thing to do. In this scenario the act, regardless of its virtue, leads the actor to unintended negative consequences.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_road_to_hell_is_paved_with_good_intentions
This is like asking oneself now, do I feel OK to get in the cage of a ferocious lion even turning my back to him, let alone stick my head into its mouth when it hasn’t eaten in days! I see why more people than not are saying, not my problem, and I didn’t cause all that grief for those people, even those innocent kids, which is so opposite of when I was growing up and people were more willing to be engaged and helpful to at least some reasonable human degree, when it was appropriate; but now people ignore their neighbors or see something that looks or seems pretty sad, and don’t even want to ask if everything is OK!
Anyway, my main point is times have so severely changed for the worse, that if we don’t see the writing on the wall yet, we never will; and this battle we’re all in, whether you accept that fact or not, requires at least the best, brightest and strongest who have genuine faith in the Lord, to be ready to follow the Father’s will to whatever place He requires of those of us that get that calling, just like Kurt did; God bless him! Amen.
Watch the video or read the text its the same, but, I did both to not miss a beat and see what the Lord is saying here!
WHAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT!
God bless you and yours.

Kurt Warner Reveals Moment He Realized God Is Not a ‘Spare Tire’ – ‘I Had’ it ‘Mixed Up’
Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Thursday, December 30, 2021
Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner says in a new video that his Christian faith soared after he met his wife Brenda, who he says challenged him “early and often” about what he believed about God.
As a child, Warner studied at a Catholic school and went to church every Sunday. Yet, his faith “was never really personal for me until after I met my wife,” he says in the new video released by I Am Second, an organization that interviews well-known individuals about their faith.
Warner’s story is the subject of the new movie American Underdog (PG).
When they were dating, he said, Brenda was always “talking about Jesus.”
“She challenged me early and often in our relationship about what I believed – and why I believed it. I think before that I always felt faith was kind of, well, God was out there, and whenever I needed Him, He was like my spare tire – that when I get a flat, I’ll go and pop the trunk and pull out the spare and God, You know, I need this.”
When he read the Bible closely and in “context,” he said, he realized he had his view of God backward.
“I had this mixed up. … God’s not just here for me …. [T]he goal is that I’m here for Him. I’m here to give my life for Him as Jesus did for me,” Warner said. “And it started to become real. I started to understand and take a different perspective on what life was all about. And it took some crazy moments to really understand that.”
One moment that impacted him, he said, was the tragic death of Brenda’s parents in a tornado – a subject that’s confronted in American Underdog.
“I remember how she didn’t have all the answers,” Warner said. “She was angry. And she was willing to call out to God and ask God why and yell and scream – but never lose her faith. It was never one of those things where, ‘Oh, God, you allowed this to happen to us. So now I’m going to walk away from You.’ That’s what a relationship is to me. It’s about being able to disagree in moments, to be angry in moments, but not allow that to stop the relationship. And, to me, that was when I kind of stepped back and [thought], everything that she’s been talking to me about, ‘This is what it looks like, this is what it’s supposed to be.’ And it was in those moments where I came to realize, ‘Okay, I’ve never had that. And that’s exactly what I want.’ And it was at that time where I really committed my life to Jesus.”
Warner won a Super Bowl and played in two others. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
