/MULYALE MUTISYA

A few of David’s last words were, ‘But the sons of Belial (Satan) shall be all of them as thorns cast away, because they cannot be taken with hands.Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie’ (2 Samuel 23:6-7). When God commissioned Ezekiel to prophesy, He urges him, ‘And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid,though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house’ (Ezekiel 2:5-6). God’s Word uses an analogy of thorns, bristles, and briers to describe those who rebel against God’s ways, Word, and will – those who rebel against God and are under Satan’s power. Thus…

Two Prayers in Honour of Saint John the Baptist

Originally posted on Catholicism Pure & Simple:
O Saint John the Baptist, greatest prophet among those born of woman, although you were sanctified in your mother’s womb and did lead a most innocent life, nevertheless it was your will to retire into the wilderness, there to devote yourself to the practice of austerity and penance,…

God bless CP&S for all of the consistent work you do in bringing light and truth to the urgent matter of the Catholic Faith and Mother Church in Jesus’ holy name! This is a most beautiful offering and for me it was absolutely a Godsend; because as you noticed I’m sure the focus of much of my writing as of late, it’s been only sincere genuine truth from my heart on matters of crucial importance that I know were inspired for the most part by the Holy Spirit speaking to me while those dots or intersections were falling into place.

This most beautiful prayer is so timely and needed not just for me but I believe anyone who actually cares with all of their heart about what is happening to our world and lives, moving into what to me is the darkest of times ahead for mankind with the massive evil that has infiltrated all aspects of society and is rotting it out from the core; even in our beloved church; hierarchy it’s so apparent.

This one sentence says precisely what I’ve been seeing and experiencing lately; “withstand the impiety of Herod even at the cost of your own life, and did rebuke him openly for his wicked and dissolute life, by your prayers obtain for me a heart, brave and generous, in order that I may overcome all human respect and “openly profess my faith in loyal obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ.” I too have dealt with corrupted powers and principalities on my own; to seek justice and truth!

I would have gotten along superbly with St. John the Baptist if I were living in his time on earth, but I hope now with this prayer, which somehow I had forgotten and didn’t think of, yet needless to say; it’s ideal right now! Through it I can perhaps have some connection to him, St. John, and “be good faithful spiritual brothers!” Amen.
God bless you.

O Saint John the Baptist, greatest prophet among those born of woman, although you were sanctified in your mother’s womb and did lead a most innocent life, nevertheless it was your will to retire into the wilderness, there to devote yourself to the practice of austerity and penance, obtain for me from your Lord the grace to be wholly detached, at least in my heart, from earthly goods, and to practice Christian mortification with interior recollection and with the spirit of holy prayer.

O Most Zealous Apostle, who, without working any miracle on others, but solely by the example of your life of penance and the power of your word, did draw after you the multitudes, in order to dispose them to receive the Messiah worthily and to listen to his heavenly doctrine, grant that it may be given unto me, by means of your example of a holy life…

Zero Lift-Off Only The Beginning

June 25, 2021

Humbling, but, so wonderfully stated here in this article presentation, is the most important and relevant factual truthful perspective for any person who, in clear conscience with an open heart, needs to think about NOW; as if being told they had one last day to live! Because the truth is whether you can actually see this or not by what is going on in plain sight each and every day, it is going to happen and could any day or moment now. There are many specific indicators that were provided to mankind in the Holy Scriptures as guideposts or markers that would continue to act as warnings or if you will, wake-up calls, to be prepared if you haven’t been doing what is required of any of us; who seeks Salvation and everlasting life with God.

I wrote last June these words regarding an article that surfaced pointing to a very specific Biblical Prophecy, which would be such an indicator, that the time was very near.

Biblical Prophecy is now confirmed and there will be no other great Kingdoms on Earth! America is the last one serving the Gentiles spoken of in the Holy Scriptures that would happen just as Prophesy said it would in the End Time.

‘The Temple Mount Is In Our Hands’: The Words That Still Shake Israel 53 Years Later
JERUSALEM, Israel – Fifty-three years ago, Israeli soldiers captured the Old City of Jerusalem.

On June 7, 1967, the 55th Paratrooper Brigade of Commander Mordechai (Motta) Gur broke through Jordanian defenses. What happened next resonated throughout the world and electrified the Jewish people.
Commander Gur broke the radio silence and said, “the Temple Mount is in our hands.”
It marked the first time the Jewish people controlled Judaism’s holiest site in more than 2,000 years.
“Within six days, we returned to the biblical land of Israel, all the mountains of Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights. We returned to the Old City of Jerusalem.” Rabbi Yehudah Glick told CBN News.
“It was liberated and reunited and here we are 53 years later, a new government, Jerusalem is united. It’s fabulous, it’s the Word of God coming out of the book, materializing and becoming a reality in our time in front of our eyes.”

You Better be Preparing Your Soul Now

Also last June 4th to be exact I saw then a forecasting many of the things that have happened since and are happening now especially in regard to secularism along with the atheistic horror of Marxism poisoning our societies and moral codes deep into the heart and soul of America to destroy it and this being the last great manmade kingdom; is the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back,” meaning here that the final Judgment is upon us in breakneck speed, no two ways about it!

Just a couple of days ago I wrote this; “By artistic imagination and vision the great renaissance masters depicted the height from which mankind had fallen in such beatific renditions that captivated the heart and soul; giving the onlooker a sense of heaven.” Now to be honest with pop culture icons who presently captivate many of the youth of today, say like Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga, if we don’t see moral indignation and worshiping of material sensationalism or the Fools’ Gold of the Ways of The World as I call it; with the likes of Taylor Swift in music videos portraying the Whore of Babylon, America, with Satanic themes throughout, or even Lady Gaga saying in her past big hit, Born This Way, “It doesn’t matter if you love him or capital H-I-M Just put your paws up ‘ Cause you were born this way, baby.” She also says “don’t be a drag be a Queen,” just as if an everyday matter of fact promotion of vile decadent behaviors, being transgressors and homosexuals, while worshiping money and materialistic pleasure life is the way to go!

Just last year a woman in her 30’s was all pumped up about meeting Taylor Swift and excited about her presentation at a Film Festival, as if she is someone to emulate; to ride on her shirt-tail! And it was so sickening to me to see this woman behave like some wacky spoilt groupie child in her early teens; that I said I’m done and stop following such people on this media platform! I bring this up because way too many people that should know better are running around like banshees playing with fire and evil, in a world gone mad for self-glory and fame! That is pure evil and will give those people a one way ticket straight to hell, promoting evil to others like a joke of some kind! Way too many of the people on this internet are lost and sensationalism groupies looking for attention and adulation, but, they are stupid as well, because time is just about up; and here they play “Ways of the World” nonsense, giving the Devil his due; to accomplish what?

I went on to say a couple of days ago; “By artistic imagination and vision the great renaissance masters depicted the height from which mankind had fallen in such beatific renditions that captivated the heart and soul giving the onlooker a sense of heaven.

But today these visionary arts with their generation are long past and we have been catapulted into a generation of High Tech bombastic Helter-Skelter visions of cold harsh technology with all of its artificiality and bleakness. Computer games for children like Fortnite with all sorts of fantasy violence and mayhem!

That ancient generation was a time of the uplifting of humanity, a time when certainly the majority of citizens would see the destruction of the unborn as clearly diabolical and wicked.

This wayward generation that we are in in now has flipped that idea on its head and even flipped out, to where life, even the innocent unborn is now denigrated as being just fetal tissue; from a fetus not a human being, because until it is a born breathing baby one can hold; it’s not a human being. How preposterous and evil an idea! What about its God given soul! Surely those that see it as just tissue don’t believe in any soul or God Almighty!

“Not everyone that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but, He that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 7:21

I think that coming out of that more golden era or ancient time when humanity truly was seeking God, and elevated humanity through art and noble acts of heroism, attempting first and foremost to be closer to God Almighty, and know Jesus Christ intimately through actual inward and outward behavior, has now since waned. It’s degenerated to where we see massive departure of faithful from the Catholic Church along with other Christian denominations like never before in history. The Bible very clearly warns that in “the latter times” churches will “depart from the faith,” and will “no longer endure sound doctrine.” Under Bergoglio we have seen this happening in double time.

The Bible says there must be a time of a great falling away, a time of apostasy, when the son of perdition, the Antichrist, will be revealed just preceding the Second coming of the Lord.
I had also said these things like you have brought out here quite well; being so very timely.

Let’s put it all in clear concise perspective; we are in World War III, but worse than that revelation we are in the Final Spiritual Battle between Heaven and Hell. We children of God are caught in the middle of it; being the prize or spoils of this war.
We God’s treasures are being snatched away from Him by the Evil One in unprecedented numbers! I’ll say this only because I know it’s true; in comparison to people who lived a few generations ago and especially hundreds of years in the past most of you have been at times or know people who are a spoiled rotten lot, being so overly materialistic, self-serving and vain; just look at many pro-athletes taking a knee so arrogantly when the people that made this country possible never would have done such an arrogant disrespectful thing; they actually knew virtue and honor earning the hard way! Or all these entertainment celebrities who take the cake for living decadently! Game players and glory seekers who thrive on attention and adulation of self; basically “playing the game,” “the crooked ways of the world,” becoming worshipers of self and or heathens practicing paganism; that are marching away from God Almighty; toward Perdition!

As the world marches toward the Precipice of Oblivion with such things as a false Pope and a cheating fraudulent criminal vile man as the President of the US; who the criminal Democrat party cheated into office with the cheerleaders of MSM that’s more than happy to accommodate whatever narrative the guilty need to promote; in order to conceal their crimes and sins at any and all cost! This is being done in order to not uncover the TRUTH; for “We the People and Citizens of God’s Creation!” We are not going to be heading into some utopia or peace on earth but rather the exact opposite; and we all need to face up to the fact that evil has overcome so many top echelon members of society now; making it a foregone conclusion that this is the End Time prophesied in the Bible! And so, it’s imperative that any of us who are not sure about it all, get attuned to Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit of God will come to you, to instruct you as you walk your daily path to Salvation. This world is falling away fast, and now is the time to respond to God’s will; not our own, or any supposed leaders; because most of them are too far gone, or sold their souls to the Devil and are possessed by sheer diabolical evil forces from Hell. Amen.

In closing I want to make it clear that what I wrote last June when bringing out what Albert Mohler was speaking to has absolutely increased exponentially and we can rest assured the Biden administration is working hand in hand with Satan! Here is some additional commentary of Mr. Mohler to see for yourself how secularism is rampant and damaging as much good as possible each and every day.

“In an interview on Thursday’s 700 Club, Mohler said that a dramatic shift took place over the course of a decade on the attitudes about same-sex marriage. He believes the speed at which Americans accepted this radical shift on a moral issue such as the definition of marriage is a hinge to the rapid secularization of the culture.

“There’s no event in human history on which human beings turned on a moral question like that so quickly,” he said.

Mohler believes that as the culture shifts more toward secular thought, and as many mainline Christian denominations follow suit, those who hold to an orthodox view of the Bible and Christian morality will find themselves more and more on the outskirts of society. “We certainly see that orthodox Christianity is seen as a problem by the cultural elites.
What we believe is what they believe they have to overcome to liberate humanity, he said.

Mohler also believes Christians will pay a higher and higher price for their beliefs, including increased hostility from the government.

He says that Christians need to respond to all of this with confidence in God and confidence in the Gospel.”

God bless you.

Isn’t this most special as most of what this article speaks about and presents in the videos I was spontaneously talking about with a stranger at a store early today! Almost verbatim! A sign from God!

Beautiful presentation here that you offered up for God in the name of Jesus Christ to be considered by any and all Catholics or others to consider the Truth about what has happened over the years and is now running pell-mell toward moral indignation, oblivion and damnation!

This is the first I have seen of any of this or the speakers and I have to say God bless them all for doing this and having the intestinal fortitude and goodness of conscience to take this stand for Catholics and humanity, overall something that should have been done just as candidly long ago! They put me to shame and I actually have some having been one who gave into the popular culture and deceptive rhetoric for a good part of my own youth and adulthood; mesmerized in my case not by any drugs or booze both of which I loathed but by the simple in your face decadence of going along with the pop culture and false images of success and materialism that I was falling for like many of my peers who were drugged and boozed up living like banshees in a secular lifestyle! Even though I didn’t act out or participate for the most part I was still doing what Holy Scripture tells us is sinful which is, to think it and participate in thought not action of the actual perpetrators; is sinful!

“But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.” (NASB) James 1:14-15

Once we have given in to our feelings by acting on them, we have sinned. That is Jesus’ message in the following verse.

“But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.” (NASB) Matthew 15:18-19

“Flee immorality” . . . (NASB) 1 Cor. 6:18

“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.” (NASB) 1 Cor. 10:14

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.” (NASB) 1 Tim. 6:10-11

“Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” (NASB) 2 Tim. 2:22

“God has called us to be holy even as He is holy” (1 Pet. 1:14-16).

Should we not allow ourselves to do less; but rather to do our best; and be holy!

Just today I was in a garden center picking up some supplies and plants for my home. I was the only one nearby a women doing the same and we engaged in talking about the plants briefly then we were talking about how the Covid Crisis had wreaked havoc for so many people but I mentioned how the more frail vulnerable seniors in nursing homes had been victimized horribly by this atrocity perpetrated by the Tyrants and Deep State government machine to push the NWO Agenda. How these good people many of them that fought in World War II or subsequent wars and many mothers who raised their children with good moral standards certainly making a difference in this world for the better were subjugated to being just old junk in the way like what Governor Cuomo did in New York by sending in severely contagious cases of Covid right into the heart of these nursing homes like some Bio-Weapon to take these elderly good folks out like trash.

The inhumanity that’s been demonstrated by mankind over just this past year clearly indicates to me that Satan’s power is being usurped by many in high earthly stations to not help or save humanity with the science and policies or edicts but to attack, ruin and destroy it! Then to top this off I just read how the evil Man of Perdition of America Biden just made a public appearance saying that if the people want to fight the government they will need F-15 fighter jets and probably nukes which was obviously the talk of a dictator and madman to even say such a thing, as it was also a veiled threat to American Citizens and Patriots, that we the bad ass government will chop you all up into little pieces if you think you can stop my tyranny which is the Devil talking through him without any doubt in my mind; we have a complete manic demonically influenced creature in the White House! I said as much long before he was installed into his current station! I mention this here because the obvious over the top behaviors and attitudes of top officials like a President of the United States of America along with the Heretic Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is absolute proof that there is now a clear and present danger at work around the globe with the sole intent being to conquer and destroy! I remember when I went to some local political rallies here back in 2016 how so many Democrats where screaming bloody murder how Trump couldn’t be allowed to become president because he would most assuredly start a nuclear war and he just can’t have his fingers on that nuclear football that stays close to the president. Trump beat Clinton fair and square and he actually slowed any pace toward any nuclear conflict even becoming the first president since the cease fire armistice with North Korea was signed back in 1953 to calm Kim down and got him to stop test shooting missiles toward Guam and Japan; while actually going to the demilitarized zone and stepping into North Korea to talk face to face with Kim. Sorry you crazy Democrats the maniac you wicked people have cheated into the Presidency is the one who may very well start a Nuclear War!

Then this woman mentioned how in our town she had been bringing the host to elderly as I took it to mean in place of the priest doing it himself, he sends them to the elderly after consecrating them at and during the mass. So now not only are they performing a secular protestantized mass and having lay people distribute the Holy Sacrament to the parishioners at the church they can make a pizza delivery style passing of the Eucharist! I didn’t want to start anything because first I don’t know this lady and secondly it wasn’t my direct concern. But, I did get into my past news photographer information gathering thinking and thought I should continue our conversation a bit more to find out if she would give any opinion about such things as the, Drag Queen Story Hour, where these perverted men sit with the children and read some I’m sure weird story to the children. She answered by saying, “well that’s too much” and then I did a Segway into, isn’t there too much indoctrination going on from grade school age up through high school where this sort of thing and homosexuality along with now Wokeism is being pushed upon young vulnerable minds and damaging a generation as well as our society. I said how the “traditional tried and tested” way of living, which the Bible even addresses saying that a man commits an abomination to lay with another man, isn’t this all a sinister manipulation of our culture and “standards of morality and decency.”

Mainly because the Leftist fringe was supported by the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center bringing suit upon law suit to any organization that wouldn’t support them and give them all the recognition and even praise or glorification they are clamoring for; now we have this all being pushed down the throats of the majority to poison society. I went on to say how the Pope we now have is a fraud just like the Puppet POTUS; who are both good buddies and apparently are on the same page with regard to so many off the wall radical ideas or concepts. She did seem to be agreeing reluctantly because she is also indoctrinated by saying well there are many different people and we have to get along; and she has grandchildren as she mentioned, taking up much of her spare time. In other words playing the proverbial ostrich in the sand bit!

But, this is what has happened as I see it where so many have not resisted or are not firm enough and just went along to get along, to where now they are messing with the Eucharist and children in schools and church twisting it all into some horrendous counterfeit fraud institution of religion and that is exactly what recent prophecies of the past century along with the tried and tested Holy Scriptures spell out would happen in the End Time; as Satan prepares to install the antichrist to his earthly throne as even the head of the church and claim he is god. It’s so unsettling to think how the majority have allowed themselves to be corralled and boxed into some trap by just accepting what is coming! Where are all the protests and strong citizens with clear concise thinking when things are slipping down this slippery slope, staring into the precipice and going down like a hand basket to hell! People have been selling out incrementally since the 1930’s and this was brought out in the video documentary! This is what happened as the pandemic mushroomed into a gargantuan global lock-down for nothing more than a flu like illness with a 99.98% survival rate but yet this influenced the global population to take a Gene Altering Concoction that wasn’t properly tested over many years, the way any vaccines previously had to be before being sprung on the public! This can only be happening in such a way globally to this level by Diabolical Satanic means; all people can’t be this stupid; so the influences and indoctrination processes are designed by the darkest forces in the universe and Biden along with Bergoglio are living proof of this evil power at work; as they are leading agents of these diabolical designs!

I agree with Our Lady that punishment is long overdue and to me the punishment should come, the sooner the better, and be as harsh and painful as it can be because this human race is a wasteland of sin, debauchery and blasphemy! I’ve said it before and just recently, I feel so badly about being here in this world that it’s going on and on allowing more opportunity not to improve but rather to sin even more.

I sure know what kind of Catholic Biden is along with the Heretic Pope Bergoglio they are no doubt AUSCP Cultists infused with Freemasonry; Basically anti Catholic and I dare say that is a movement which is moving the cultural baseline closer to anti Jesus and God!

Dear Lord, help us; this lost generation is teetering on the brick of madness and evil petulantly from leaders in their lofty stations all the way down to the dregs of society, many with no recourse being so indoctrinated by the Evil One!

Awaken this foul and secular world of abomination now; I ask in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.

Our Lady of Fatima: ”More souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason”.

There is a lot wrong with the post-Vatican II ‘Church of Nice’ and its justification, celebration and promotion of all sorts of rampant variations of the sins of the flesh. Brainwashed by the Devil, they pretend to claim it is “charitable” to do so, but nobody buys that lie.

LifeSiteNews Correspondent Jim Hale in is Minnesota this week, covering the annual meeting of the Association of United States Catholic Priests, who attacked Jim, and mocked faithful Catholics who rallied to protest this group that promotes homosexual marriage and women’s ordination.

A regular commentator on The Eponymous Flower blog, Damian M. Mallipalli, points out an inevitable truth after watching this video clip:

Kathleen thank you for presenting this again because Archbishop Fulton Sheen was a prophet without any doubt. What he was saying then is unfolding now, only what’s happening along with the circumstances; has worsened exponentially!

I had actually been thinking and writing along these lines over the last 24 hours. I began responding to this critically important and beautifully well written article, when I realized it was going to end up becoming a couple of essays all in one reblog commentary; so I’m inserting a portion of my thoughts here with an added link to my complete article I’ve written today.

By artistic imagination and vision the great renaissance masters depicted the height from which mankind had fallen in such beatific renditions that captivated the heart and soul giving the onlooker a sense of heaven.

But today these visionary arts with their generation are long past and we have been catapulted into a generation of High Tech bombastic Helter-Skelter visions of cold harsh technology with all of its artificiality and bleakness.

That ancient generation was a time of the uplifting of humanity, a time when certainly the majority of citizens would see the destruction of the unborn as clearly diabolical and wicked.

This wayward generation that we are in in now has flipped that idea on its head and even flipped out, to where life, even the innocent unborn is now denigrated as being just fetal tissue; from a fetus not a human being, because until it is a born breathing baby one can hold; it’s not a human being. How preposterous and evil an idea! What about it’s God given soul! Surely those that see it as just tissue don’t believe in any soul or God Almighty!

“Not everyone that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but, He that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Here is just an excerpt from This poem “To a Waterfowl”

By William Cullen Bryant It Does speak to what I see as how we can survive through the present turmoil and coming storm! The key is in each of our hearts if we will unlock through Jesus!

“Thou’rt gone, the abyss of heaven

Hath swallowed up thy form, yet, on my heart

Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,

And shall not soon depart.

He, who, from zone to zone,

Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,

In the long way that I must trace alone,

Will lead my steps aright.”

William Cullen Bryant

I see how people looked at reality and humanity back when he wrote this poem were true to seeking paths of righteousness for His name sake, but today far too many are for the most part transfixed in a now blasphemous twisted and concocted alternate reality of perversion, debauchery and sin.

The Devil is loosed and many are serving him without hesitation, taken possession of; by the temptations of money, power and fame! They literally sell their very souls as I mentioned earlier, and as you are well aware, belonging to our Father in Heaven; just for a bit of tantalization and glory now!

Don’t you be one of those that gives in to this trap, resist and remain steadfast in your faith regardless of how bad things get, just remember this was never meant to be a picnic or a joyride that keeps on going; “ its where we are going that matters;” and the choice is completely your own. Open you hearts to the Lord, and, “let go and let God!”

Here is the link to the full blow effort today. I hope that you gain at least a modicum of hope in your heart.

“[Satan] will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.”

We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.

The False prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.

Christ’s Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.

The False Church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.

“There is no cure or magic treatment”

Perfect! What a beautiful comprehensive write up on this difficulty you are experiencing that I can’t imagine being produced any better than what you have here constructed for all to learn from and share!

“There is no cure or magic treatment,” you “hit the proverbial nail on the head” saying this because after some of the nightmares I’ve had to sustain through over the last dozen or so years that were blatant attacks upon my wellbeing I too learned that there isn’t much that can be done or as you said, “no magic cures,” for so many of the things that hurt us whether they are physical or psychological. Of course many in the medical industry will say there is this med or that one to manage the condition but let me tell you most of that is hogwash and most meds will mess up a person much more ultimately being toxic, and will eventually kill.

Too many people in this world are arrogant and self-centered saying they don’t need God and are so antichrist they are surely headed to hell in a hand basket; no two ways about it! This Scripture is perfect, and you placed it here for a God given reason as I see it perfectly from my experiences that hurt me; and what it tells us all. It is a matter of Faith and what or who we put our Trust in; that is absolutely and unequivocally what God is telling us through our living in this world, telling all of us in Plain Truth by our experiences; but so many are rebellious! Here for such a short time and they would rather be on their high horse trying to deny the Author of the Universe, but they only doom themselves in the end; a test my sister!

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” Psalm 28:7

I’ll say a prayer for you now and I thank you for showing such strength of character and heart that I know God will respond to in His way! You’re on a mission for God and working to serve His plan. Amen.
God bless you and yours.

The Vaccine Post (Part 1)

Well said Lawrence; and I agree with all of what you explained here, especially toward the end where you point out our moral obligation to our Creator who gave us a good conscience for just this reason, to stand up to egregious evil whenever it presents itself in our personal lives or societies. Abortion to me is nothing less than an abomination against God himself the author of life and all the universe, so to think for one moment we can take it upon ourselves to terminate an innocent helpless life in the womb without consequence is not merely foolhardy but it’s an outright arrogant and most heinous rebellious act against our Father in Heaven.

I can tend to talk too much and to some people seem opinionated, but I will say that it’s partially true at times only because I state my perspective on any issue strongly once I decide to open my trap about it. But in this matter I have no hesitation and to me it’s “no holds barred” in a manner of speaking as to what I say and to whom; if it involves abortion nobody will convince me that it’s OK, in this case especially; and not any others for whatever reasoning they may provide! That is a slippery slope for sure, so to say it’s OK to abort over here in a special or particular situation only leaves the door open to others who will come along and see that as precedent to justify additional circumstances or situations as being just as worthy of pardon. You and I know people are this way and always seek comfort from other humans to quell their own guilt or fears and look for approval and thus put some of, if not all, of the weight of a nasty choice on others as well; to give it some justification, thus thinking they escape guilt. None of that cuts the mustard with God and it’s all a con or snow job, maybe to delude one’s self or others around them but we certainly know from a young age if we truly are faithful, that nobody will fool God.

Am I a man that’s sinned, well of course and I’m someone that has been a fool or been fooled; absolutely! But the catch is to learn from our mistakes and transgressions because God is keeping it all in the book of life, and these choices all matter; because God will weigh it out through Jesus the “perfect judge” and His “Pure Immaculate Loving Heart,” and “will see everything just as it really is!” And so, like a Saint Dismas crucified next to Jesus there are those among us that are reeking with a past of sin but will be “delivered beautifully into Paradise born to eternal life and bliss,” while there are those with plenty of sin along with hearts that fall short of His greatest mercy; who will be sent to hell. You and I know God knows our hearts, and we can “see through our Faith, even experience of life lessons” without even reciting a number of Scriptures, that say this plainly; He is an absolutely perfect judge of character and all there is to judge, but, His Mercy is greater knowing all things, which means He will judge accordingly. Now; I know this abominable Industrial Scale Abortion going on all around us is Satan’s pleasure and thrill; while God is allowing all of what must come to pass in order to fulfill all prophecy, so that His plan can reach its final fruition.

I like you saw how this whole pandemic didn’t add up, and I saw the MSM lying without any doubt in my mind, and turned off the TV right from the start; and did all my own research. This led me to find voices out there like ours around the globe that were critical of the press and governments, knowing that something was askew! So the Truth needed to be ferreted out carefully, which in short order I was able to do! And it was then that I had no intention of taking any jabs ever, and stated as much saying if authorities make it mandatory and round citizens up they can give me mine at the end of a gun barrel; because I will not take anything derived from Abortion into my body nor be involved with any aspect of that, not ever. Then the False Pope Bergoglio came out with his proclamations, but all he did was convince me further how right I was about his grave error and transgression from God Almighty; so to me he is doomed!

Before I go on too long here in this one article I would like to mention that I will share a couple of blog postings of mine from over the last few days at the end of this commentary for anyone who has the time or would like to look at my mindset to see where I’m coming from, even if for curiosity sake. Because I think it will likely be helpful in some small way at least; and my real hope is that I make a difference in someone’s life and inspire that person to get either more serious or gain the truthful clarity he or she may need to move forward; confidently knowing they are doing the right thing.

You mentioned Hitler, which I did indirectly today, and societal conscience as for example what you laid out about WWII Germany, and how citizens took a wrong turn big-time just following the crowd and the results as we know were most horrific! I see or societies as even worse today than back then, and during the pandemic I saw how either foolish and lazy people can be or how easily tricked into behaving stupidly, almost like zombies; this is all very scary to me because if the right monster plugs into that he or she will cause a calamity beyond anything we ever imagined. So I leave this quotation that speaks well to this point and was written many years ago by a woman who was very familiar with all of that Nazi horror like many of the time were; her name Hannah Arendt.

Hannah Arendt beautifully explains; “Yes, there is a time when good men and women must stand up for what’s right, even when it involves risk, but that moment comes only after evil has already been well established and is powerfully on the move.” Evil is inherently weak. The truth is that evil survives by tricking the good into doing its will. “Without thousands of basically decent people confused enough to obey, evil would fail quickly.” She goes on to summarize evil this way: “The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil. These people wouldn’t initiate murders by themselves, but in the name of duty, loyalty, unity, and/or the greater good, they cooperate with evil and give it their strength. But each plays a small part—none of them stretches so far that they’d have to contemplate the final effects of their actions.” In the 20th century, however, the actions of such people led directly to the murders of 260 million people. And they did this precisely by avoiding decisions… by merely obeying. “People think of murder, lying, and robbery as sins, but none of those has nearly the death toll of obedience.”
“Basically decent men and women obey agents of evil for very mundane reasons. The process often goes like this:
1. Being confused and intimidated, they look for the center of the pack.
2. They try not to make waves.
3. They learn that they can avoid making waves best if they adopt the perspectives of their overlords. So they run the overlords’ slogans through their minds as a default program.
In the end, these people don’t make up their minds. Rather, they take on the minds of their overlords and do their will.
And so, the vast majority of evil done on Earth traces back to minds and wills that have been abandoned to fear and laid on the Altar of Obedience.”

So as an example of this when I previously quote Hannah; I concluded that the Obama years were chock full of this abandonment and accepting what he said as gospel and we have seen the utter decay of our Nation because of it! Now we have his partner in crime from back then who in some ways is worse but in all is at least equally as wicked; now Biden the Puppet POTUS along with all those same evil players back then coalescing again to form a catastrophe. I mention this because this evil man who says he is a Catholic, but yet he has already appropriated hundreds of billions of dollars for abortion services globally; a “Hitler of Unborn Genocide and Abomination!”

So those prophetic words by Edmund Burke “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing,” are so true even today and I suspect as long as humans inhabit the earth!

Yes Lawrence you are correct we all should be taking a Stand on this matter of most grave importance!
God bless you and yours. Amen

CP&S comment: This is probably, for many, the most disconcerting article that we have posted on the COVID-19 vaccine to date. It is written by Lawrence England, an active pro-life Catholic blogger, ‘That The Bones You Have Crushed May Thrill’. The MSM is continuously hammering out to us the many “benefits” and “wonders” of the hastily produced vaccine. However, as Catholics, whose only desire is to follow in the footsteps of Christ and do His Will, we feel we must give our readers the opportunity to hear other voices whose well formed conscience prompts them to refuse the vaccine.

If you are determined not to be vaccinated against the symptoms of Covid-19 by request, friendly advice or belligerent threat of your Government, be sure you will be in for a fight that will be deeply unpleasant. I have spoken to many people, mostly Catholics, who are determined…

“Cor ad Cor Loquitur”: Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

This is so crystalline and perfect to me! A man I used to work with who had been in a monastery preparing to become an ordained priest told me that the Roman Catholic Church of Jesus Christ is like a perfect jewel or diamond with all of its beautiful facets.

I’ve written recently how a woman is so special being able to carry another human being in her womb a precious gift from God the Creator, and how that mother and child are in a profound and magnificent relationship for those nine months forming a human and spiritual bond that can never be broken! A woman can have this most special precious relationship with her child and it will be forever, being so close sharing everything within them with each other, in the most intimate human way possible almost as though one, while also the spiritual connection is just as profound and even more so, being connected to God the Creator through the Holy Ghost!

Now take this concept and think how God the Father, The Creator and Holy Ghost chose Mother Mary who would be the only woman in existence to do this miraculous “Immaculate Conception” for the birth of Himself God, as the only begotten Son Jesus Christ, to complete the Holy Trinity; and so accordingly sanctified her making her Blessed among all human mothers ever; the only one like her that actually carried God Almighty in the Flesh and Spirit, Jesus Christ, the begotten Son of God in her sanctified body joining the Holy Father and Son as the Mother head of the eternal heavenly kingdom family! This is why Mother Mary and Jesus are together at the head of the Church family, with the Father in heaven. And they are our beloved Father, Mother and Son the Savior Jesus Christ! They together love us as the Children of God. Holy Mary’s bond by the Immaculate Conception with God and Jesus was and is “forever,” and this article spells that out so well. Amen.
God bless you.

VIDEO The Divine Guarantee of an Eternal Salvation, Part 3

Originally posted on NarrowPathMinistries:
By John MacArthur ?Jun 7, 2009 Let’s turn back to Romans chapter 5 tonight. It was a number of months ago that I began to take a look with you at Romans 3, 4, and 5. We sort of really began in the middle of chapter 3 and we end in…

Nothing gets restored in this world that is fallen and falling away. Singing songs or having some joyous mindset isn’t going to solve the problem that we living here in the flesh are in continual sin and can run amuck even further if not following a strict practice of absolving of our sins repeatedly by confessing them and then receiving the bread and wine or the body and blood of Jesus Christ through the blessed sacrament and the consecrated host or Eucharist of that process via the Holy Mass.

A cleansing or purging of our souls and a renewal or sanctifying that can only come via this practice to be in a state of grace. I’ve met many a giddy slap happy person that keep saying praise the Lord almost sounding like parrots and I’m saved when in fact they are acting foolish and not even aware how precarious their situation is being on the precipice as we are here in this flesh and sinful existence as they are so deluded in this silly mindset, virtually being held captive by the Evil one. Look at the government leaders in their deluded and wicked stature wielding earthly powers government against government and people against people of and by the Devil; while yet they run slipshod over the Truth and condemn themselves by these actions not being saved because all will be fine eventually at the judgment! They are screwed so that is something to be worried about and fear; not only for them but for us who could screw-up just as badly if we don’t remain vigilant and tow the line or keep our own affairs in order so as not to follow these corrupted leaders as millions of citizens are exactly doing; and will straight into hell! Salvation isn’t some given and we just show up at the judgment and all will be good for all because Jesus did all the work, and we are already saved! We’re not already saved! If that were the case then we all should have a devil may care attitude and sin all we want and go for the gusto of this world like many are; then later God will understand and cut us all the slack we need because we all share in the redemption and salvation to live in His glory and be in bliss; don’t matter what sins or how many we made its all good in the end! If that were the case then why continue with this charade and just cancel the whole mess we are in, and even the Devil will be forgiven because Sin will be no more; and Nobody is held accountable.

We all do need to fear judgment because not all are going to be forgiven, and we don’t know absolutely for sure who will be or who won’t be. We are not home until we are home; so pretending won’t cut the mustard! Though the faith the size of a mustard seed can save us that faith has to be genuine and according to the prescribed teachings that Jesus provided to the apostles during the Last Supper the actual Mass before the Sacrifice of Him the lamb of God, His body and blood that were going to be shed in order to redeem our souls from eternal damnation. Dismas on the cross next to Jesus did not assume for one second that he could or would be saved but told Jesus right there next to him that he didn’t deserve the suffering, condemnation and punishment He was relieving because he could see Jesus was great, good and innocent no some criminal hay made Him out to be, but that he Dismas certainly did deserve and accept his own failure punishment with all that comes with it asking only that Jesus please “remember me when you are in your Kingdom.” Everything I said to this point here came to me by inspired thought as I was reaching out to Jesus Christ to send the Holy Spirit from our Father in heaven. Then suddenly because I wanted to be certain about Saint Dismas in what I type here I immediately came to this when I performed an online search about Dismas. God wanted me to speak about Dismas and this proves it. Some of these following words were going through my mind exactly as they are printed on this page just before I did the search!

“This man has done nothing wrong.” This man only does what is good. This man only speaks the truth. This man is worthy of our faith and allegiance and imitation. And then, sixth, the thief goes a step further and acknowledges that indeed, Jesus is a king. “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” desiringgod.org

Now please hear me here.

This was faith the size of a mustard seed by a real sinner/criminal who was paying the price for his SINS. But that faith was absolutely Real and Genuine beyond any doubt no some yackety-yak that anyone can shoot off, but from a man that was done for and knew it for his heathen sinful life, while on a Crucifixion cross, the worst way to be put to death and was totally unassuming while apologetic an accepting of the truth he had failed and was in great grief fear and sorrow; feeling hopeless. But he was surely respecting and honoring Jesus for His beauty and purity of heart and great good! This is a most very serious fine line business that will separate the Sheep from the Goats and there will be plenty of both nothing in-between. Only God can judge that perfectly and know in the end who belongs to Him!

The first thing the repentant thief does is not get deceived by all this talk.

“But he rebuked him saying, ‘Do you not fear God?” This is the second thing about this penitent thief: he feared God. God was real to him. God was his creator, and he knew that a pot can’t take up arms against the potter and come away victorious. It is fitting that creatures bow in submission before their creator and subject all their life to his wisdom. It is even more fitting that sinful creatures bow before God in holy fear, instead of railing against God as if a rebel ant should kick against the foothills of Mt. Everest and demand that it flatten out so the ant can walk across.

Third, the penitent thief admitted that he had done wrong: “We are receiving the due reward of our deeds” (v. 41). He had no desire to save face any more; he had no more will to assert himself. He was here and laid open before the God he feared and there was no way to hide his guilt. I know people right now who are in trouble. But instead of laying down their self-righteous defenses, they are devising every means to finagle and distort so as to appear innocent and cool. The penitent thief gave it up. It’s a hopeless tack, anyway, before an all-knowing God!

“We are under the sentence of condemnation justly.” This is the real test of humility before God. Many will mouth the confession of sin: “God be merciful to us miserable sinners,” but when some trouble comes, they get angry at him. And this anger reveals that they do not really feel undeserving before God. They still feel, deep down, that they have some rights before God. There are not many people like Job, who, when he lost everything, said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb and naked shall I return; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” But this penitent thief did become like Job in the last minutes of his life—he took his suffering without complaint, and feared God.

Fifth, the thief acknowledged Jesus’ righteousness: “This man had done nothing wrong.” It didn’t make any difference to the first thief if Jesus was right or wrong. If he could drive the get-away car—that’s all that mattered. But it matters a lot to Jesus if we think his life was good or bad. Jesus does not want to drive a get-away car; he wants to be followed because we admire him. We must say with the thief: “This man has done nothing wrong.” This man only does what is good. This man only speaks the truth. This man is worthy of our faith and allegiance and imitation.

And then, sixth, the thief goes a step further and acknowledges that indeed, Jesus is a king. “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Even though he is suffering now, Jesus has the mark of a king. For those who have eyes to see, he has a power here on the cross—a power of love that makes him king over all his tormentors. He is not only good, he is powerful, and one day he will vindicate his great name, and every knee will bow and confess that Jesus is Lord—to the glory of God, the Father.

And finally, the penitent thief does one more thing. He fears God, admits wrong, accepts justice, acknowledges the goodness and power of Jesus. Now he pleads for help. “Jesus, remember when you come into your kingdom.” Both thieves wanted to be saved from death. But O how differently they sought their salvation: 1) “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 2) “Jesus, remember when you come into your kingdom!” There is an infinite qualitative difference between “Save me!” and “Save me!” desiringgod.org

I put it this way; we are all on thin ice because as for example I could suddenly receive a huge opportunity to work for the government and be given a top ranking position through connections here on earth, but then to serve those who gave me this huge opportunity I follow their ways or lead because I’m now one of them; while we all follow the ways of the world and Satan in that scenario. Do I deserve heaven at the end of my road here after serving these despots that heaped a huge big shot opportunity upon me? Of course now I am in that getaway car with the criminals trying to get away with murder and worse, blaspheming God Almighty! That was why I walked away from government jobs or political connection and even Hollywood many years ago or any other damned man-made ways that would trap me into a hell on earth way of life; living as the unrepentant sinner!
God isn’t just giving lip service to us!

No I will keep this Scripture right up front in my consciousness and act accordingly. Amen.
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12-13)

God bless you.

Let’s turn back to Romans chapter 5 tonight. It was a number of months ago that I began to take a look with you at Romans 3, 4, and 5. We sort of really began in the middle of chapter 3 and we end in the middle of chapter 5 because this unit of truth from chapter 3, verse 21, through chapter 5, verse 11, features the glory of the great doctrine of justification by faith. I want to read the opening eleven verses of chapter 5 just to set it in your mind.

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also…

Let Go and Let God!

“Do I want to understand and control my life, or do I want the peace of God?

Here is the catch, you can’t have both. This is the fundamental decision that will determine the level of peace in your life.

I have decided I would rather know that God’s got it than to know what God’s doing in my life.”

My man you put it spot on! What does it mean for us to give all kinds of lip service or say prayers so beautifully in public or even alone if our hearts aren’t truly given and entrusted to Him our Lord and Savior; if we really don’t fully “Trust in Him!”

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Saying that and meaning it, by living it, and truly putting it into practice day in and day out is not so simple for we fallen creatures of habit, and especially for those who seek convenience or worldly satisfaction; which I know you will agree with me is a majority of the human race especially in these spoilt modern times of so much decadence or glitter and fool’s gold so many are playing the game and living in the “ways of the world;” but here and there making a statement to look good and delude themselves in the end! Too much fakery or B.S., come on how can I be wrong when we see what the world governments and many officials have been doing to us and still are with the massive NWO agenda to change the political landscape and indeed the human race into something ugly! Look how many did and still are going along to get along with the world’s heinous ways! I see them all around me not wanting to make waves or stand out because they are afraid or just too damned lazy to fight back! I’m not, I’ll willing to die right now if they came to say I can’t believe as I do and I must get the jab with a passport; to which I would reply, kill me now, or get the hell out of my face you devils!

No we must be committed and genuine in our prayerful supplication on bent knee and totally committed; although nobody is capable of doing a perfect job in our current state of being, we are capable of not being bullshit artists if we so choose! I tell you this from my own experience because I’ve been there and done that; making a valiant effort and being a good ole boy for varying stretches, but my habits or flesh nature got in my damned way time and again! Remaining vigilant is a tough road, many bumps and potholes or even a ditch all over the place. Are they all there to test us or make us stronger as we learn by trial and error or is it just because we and this world are damaged merchandise from the get goes? We know the answer to that or at least I’ve learned its both! Why then should this even be going on? As I see it to grow, and truly become the greater or better part of our nature; what Abe Lincoln referred to as, “the better angels of our nature!” That seed of greatest within that God planted in us before we were in our mother’s womb, must be nurtured and weather all the storms and trials of life in order to become the unique beautiful being and child of God He intended; to be Born Again!

41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

Let’s put it this way; I know this from factual experience and what God demonstrated to me through others and my own suffering, that it’s like the tempering of steel; being placed in that red hot fire to then be pulled out and immersed into the cool, refreshing life giving water, changing the inner character, the very molecular structure of that piece of metal from within; making it much stronger and better than what it began as; when it came from the ground and dust!

And let’s admit it, there are so many temptations out there to be had today; overwhelming opportunities to sin while that enemy the Devil is right behind watching, for another opportunity, to stick it to us if we let down our guard, and man do I know I messed up and let it happen again to me, taking another knife to my heart; not that I was terrible or evil, but, I just allowed the door to be open enough that the snake slithered on in and bit me! That’s all it takes because the enemy is powerful and so deceptive; especially catching us in our weak moments, and we all have them! Then add to this the simple truth that there are those individuals out there among us that will do any of us great harm with pleasure if given the chance, as they have darkness in their souls loving to inflict misery upon the good; and I was a victim of that as well; “screwed, blued and tattooed” by such agents of the Devil; they were even wolves in sheep’s clothing, really fooled me. There is great good in this sadness, not just that I found out the hard way that I’m far better than them, but also because, I also learned that “what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger” for sure, much stronger and wiser; and those that did those evil deeds to me are weak and doomed, which is what they wanted; so it’s a win, win and they get what they deserve too!

To conclude, I say all this which you share is beautiful enlightenment and for sure the wisdom is here in all of these words, but, keep it all in check with this one other passage that works for me when I think of it, especially if I’m feeling my flesh crying out for more freedom to slough off into the material secular world!

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12-13)

Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, who truly is my life!
God bless you.

Where to find the peace of God in the circumstances of life

It is possible in spite of great grief, sorrow, loss, discouragement, confusion, pain and broken relationships, to learn how to live in the peace of Jesus and return to peace when ambushed by the anxieties and the brokenness of this life.

All of us battle anxiety.

All of us struggle to live in the peace of Christ. All of us struggle to remain in perfect peace.

However, the Prince of Peace, Jesus, can restore peace to you regardless of how the world around you tries to take it from you.

The apostle Paul told the Philippians in Philippians 4:6 not to be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

If you and I are going to live in…
