Good evening, Disciples of Jesus Christ. We pray everyone is going deep into contemplative prayer with Our Lord in Adoration with Him during this first week of Lent. There is so much to still learn about what Our Lord wants us to do to be ready for Him, but yet seems like there is so little time left. We have been studying more of Lorena’s messages and I actually heard the mantra of St. Michael the other morning coming out of my sleep. This time, I believe it was my own Spirit repeating this mantra three times, “Who is like God, there is no one like God.” “Who is like God, there is no one like God.” “Who is like God, there is no one like God.” It surprised me when I heard myself saying this mantra in my head, while coming out of my sleep that I right away knew that I needed to study Lorena’s prophetic messages more to try and discern what Our Lord may have planned for me personally to be ready for Him at the Warning. We should all be discerning our specific roles in these times before the Warning now with Our Lord in Adoration and after receiving His Holy Body at Holy Mass. This early or partial discernment of God’s Will can prepare us when we receive confirmation from Him at the Warning/Illumination of Conscience.

We went into studying St. Augustine’s teachings on the end times that we posted a few days ago and forgot to post a very poignant piece the other day of why these transformations of our bodies must take place during the Tribulation period. But first, here is the First Sunday of Lent Holy Mass celebrated at St. Mary’s Parish in Ottawa, Canada if you didn’t attend Holy Mass due to illness, or restrictions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIVQMR7oCjk.

In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 6:9-11, we see that there is a specific quota of martyrs that Our Lord is waiting on that must be filled, before He executes His Divine justice (wrath). It was a famous Christian Author named Tertullian that once said, “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church” in “Apologeticus.” Any time the Roman Empire persecuted martyrs, he warned, they only attracted new Catholics. This was also recently quoted by Pope Francis in 2015. Hmm, that’s interesting, especially since Father Chad Ripperger mentioned in one of his videos that Pope Francis has been quoted as saying that he is the Bishop in White that is martyred for our Church that is mentioned in the Third Secret of Fatima! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A9-11&version=NABRE.

So, how does this align with what Our Lord is telling us about the saints in the Book of Revelation and how they will reign with Him in the New Heaven and New Earth and is it the Blood of the Martyrs that brings in Our New Church (New Jerusalem) in Revelation 21:9?

In Luke 21:7-19, Our Lord tells us when the time of the end has come, His Disciples will be handed over for persecution, but God will give them the words to speak and not a hair on their heads will be destroyed. “¹⁴ Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, ¹⁵ for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking^[c] that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. ¹⁶ You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. ¹⁷ You will be hated by all because of my name, ¹⁸ but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. ¹⁹ By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21%3A7-19&version=NABRE.

It is also the prayers of the holy ones, (saints) mixed with coal from the altar in Revelation 8:1-7 that is thrown down to the earth by the Angel. Notice that this begins the Seven Trumpets and God’s purification and wrath of justice that is coming for the holy ones that were slain for the testimony they gave for God in their faithfulness to God’s Holy Word! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208&version=NABRE.

Could this blood that is thrown down by the Angel in Revelation 8:7 after the First Trumpet is blown, be the blood of the Martyrs, which is actually the holy ones under the altars that were previously asking Our Lord in Revelation 6:9-11 to avenge their blood? Our discernment from the Holy Spirit is “Yes”! But is this going to actually be blood mixed with hail we see coming from Heaven after the first Trumpet is blown, or will this just be symbolic? We will not know this until it occurs, but the significance is there from God, that His purification and wrath begin at the sound of the First Trumpet and goes all the way through to the 7th Trumpet, when He has completed His transformation of us (His saints). Transformation of Heaven and the Earth is completed, and He has eradicated all evil. Remember what is in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 on the sound of the last Trumpet, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A51-57&version=NABRE.

Many holy priests have been preparing us for martyrdom this past year in many of their homilies and keep reminding us that the martyrs hold a higher place in Heaven for their testimony and witness for God! Now, we want to go back and take a look at Lorena from Mexico and what she said about the First fruits! Both Catholic Mystic and Prophet Lorena Portillo from Mexico and Christian Prophet Julie Whedbee have identified the chosen saints as God’s First fruits. Here is the definition of the Biblical First fruit. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/firstfruits/.

We will not go into Julie Whedbee’s prophetic messages today but will take a close look at Lorena’s messages that we will post again for everyone here from Mary Refuge of Souls blog. There are many pages here to review, so we are going to post again the Totus Tuus Evangelization Network interview with Gianna Talone Sullivan from a few months ago. First, here are all of the messages and prayers from Lorena Portillo that have been posted by the Mary Refuge of Souls blog. I am reviewing this again and only at page 73 currently. Pages 55 through 73 identify the Three groups of the Militant Army as the Primes (First fruits), the Practicing Soldiers, and the Praying Soldiers. I have identified myself thus far as a Praying Soldier, but of course we will not know exactly until the Warning comes, what our complete mission is from God. This is more confirmation of a Second Pentecost that will occur at the Warning/Illumination of Conscience. https://maryrefugeofholylove.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/2021-the-way-to-follow-army-of-saint-michael-archangel-messages-of-lorena.pdf.

Here is the video and interview by Gianna Talone Sullivan with Lorena. At about the 18-minute mark, Lorena explains in detail about an Asteroid that will hit the Earth that will come after the Warning, then there will be an Earthquake. This Asteroid could be the Second Trumpet blown by an Angel that brings a large burning mountain that is hurled into the Sea, which created the tidal wave I saw in my dream and posted in this blog. Here is what we wrote about a few prophetic dreams I have received over the years, one of them regarding a Tsunami. https://liveandloveforjesus.com/2022/08/10/understanding-given-by-the-holy-spirit-on-comparing-prophetic-dreams-to-information-from-gill-broussard-on-the-elliptical-path-of-planet-7x-the-warning-and-the-opening-of-the-seals-in-the-book-of-re/.

However, the Warning comes first before the Asteroid, then the Asteroid, then the six weeks will begin for evangelization. The First fruits will be the ones to go out and evangelize along with the practicing soldiers, who will be healing people. If an Asteroid hits, then there could be much devastation, confusion, and chaos during that 6-week period. This will make it difficult to get to the Churches to assist the Priests, but we will know what to do because the Holy Spirit will be guiding us and according to Lorena, we will have already received our gifts. The Praying soldiers will begin to have their Refuges (Marian Homes) ready to receive souls, and this period of receiving souls appears to go through most of the Tribulation Period. This is also what God put on our hearts about our Refuges being able to receive souls for a long period of time after the Warning (by souls, we mean saved souls that have converted to Christianity). This means that the First fruits will be evangelizing and saving souls that will need to seek Refuge for protection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCTUUud3cco.

At about the 21:40 second mark, Lorena explains that the First fruits are both the 144,000 in Revelation Chapter 7, and those God has chosen in their mother’s womb for this special period of time of evangelization (Practicing Soldiers). In the messages Lorena gives us above from the Mary Refuge of Souls blog, Our Blessed Mother Mary was told to Lorena to be our Captain in this Militant Army, and St. Michael the Archangel is our leader, (which also makes sense for us because we have been praying to be in the Marian Army of Love for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.) Lorena goes on to explain in the video that after the Warning occurs, the groups that will be identified by God as the First fruits (Primes) and the Practicing soldiers will be enlightened by God and given the charisms (gifts), they will need to fulfill their mission of evangelization and healing, while at the same time will be fighting against the antichrist and his persecution of the saints. These are most likely the Martyrs that will be slain for their testimony for the word of God, and this is why they have been chosen to reign with Christ during the Era of Peace. This also meets Luke 21:7-19 above!

At the 26-minute mark, she continues to explain that the First fruits (Primes) will be purified and have the gifts of Adam and Eve before their fall (Luisa Piccarreta on the gift of living in God’s Divine Will!) After the Warning, they will be transformed, hearts will be childlike, and they will meet God Our Father and the Holy Trinity and receive their gifts and be ready for the war. The Practicing soldiers will also be transformed at the Warning/Illumination of Conscience about their chosen place with gifts of healing that will be assisting the First fruits, and their leader is St. Raphael (which makes sense because St. Raphael is the Archangel of healing). Then Lorena identifies the final group of soldiers, which are the Praying Soldiers that will be praying and running the Refuges (Marian Homes) and their leader is St. Gabriel. Lorena stated that anyone can have a Marian home if they desire to serve Our Lord, but ultimately God will decide for everyone’s safety and His Angels will lead us to a Marian home (Refuge) that has been chosen if we are in danger.

What is amazing about this as we tie this huge puzzle together that God has revealed to us over the past 4 years is that Lorena Portillo has quoted Luisa Piccarreta and the Divine Will of God in her prophetic messages, and I don’t believe I have heard any other current, or modern-day Prophet mention Luisa Piccarreta in their messages before. If someone has heard another modern-day Prophet mention Luisa Piccarreta, please let me know in the comments section.

Also, Lorena’s messages seem to appear to align with what St. Augustine has taught us about a final transformation of our bodies at the end of time per Corinthians 15:51-52, and not just a transformation of the Earth, and we identified this in the previous post in the blog.

Even in Chapter 5 of St. Augustine’s teaching on his book City of God (Book XX), he seems to think there may be another period of time outside the final judgment, this is what he said, “Many passages I omit, because, though they seem to refer to the last judgment, yet on a closer examination they are found to be ambiguous, or to allude rather to some other event — whether to that coming of the Saviour which continually occurs in His Church, that is, in His members, in which comes little by little, and piece by piece, since the whole Church is His body, or to the destruction of the earthly Jerusalem. For when He speaks even of this, He often uses language which is applicable to the end of the world and that last and great day of judgment, so that these two events cannot be distinguished unless all the corresponding passages bearing on the subject in the three evangelists, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are compared with one another — for some things are put more obscurely by one evangelist and more plainly by another — so that it becomes apparent what things are meant to be referred to one event. It is this which I have been at pains to do in a letter which I wrote to Hesychius of blessed memory, bishop of Salon, and entitled, Of the End of the World.” https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120120.htm.

Disciples, I believe this is ultimately our calling from God to discern from Him on what our role is within the parameters of these messages that Lorena Portillo has given to us. We still need to pray and discern with the Holy Spirit of course, but I have received four different confirmation signs referencing St. Michael in the last 4 months from the Holy Spirit, and this is why I have covered this information from Lorena again. Lorena’s messages are still being reviewed by her local Priests, and not a Bishop that we are aware of, but her messages have not been disapproved. Please take the time to review all of the information that has been provided to Mary Refuge of Souls above and continue praying to Our Lord in Adoration if there is anything He wants you to discern on these three different groups and if God has a mission for you in one of these roles. We will continue to do the same, while also going back over St. Robert Bellarmine’s teachings on the end time.

Let us Pray – Lord, we continue to seek the gift of living in Your Divine Will, and we continue to pray for all of the gifts of Your Holy Spirit in order to serve You in these times. We know You are continuing to reveal all Truth to us as we surrender to our Purification as You refine us to make our robes white. Please continue to pull us closer into Your Sacred Heart and allow Our Blessed Mother to also lead us by Her Immaculate Heart. We ask for Your protection by Your Precious Blood and Your Heavenly Legions of Angels as St. Michael is interceding for us along with Your Saints. Thank You for all that You have revealed to us through Your Prophets and keep us from all deception as we continue to seek Your Holy Face daily. We ask this in Your Name, the Name above all Names, Jesus Christ. Amen.
