Still studying this wonderful guide about the discernment of where we are in our Spiritual lives according to Saint John of the Cross. I am going to post it again because it is also very important for those just beginning to turn back to God. If you are one of those Christians or Catholics beginning to see that we are being manipulated by world powers and elites and we are heading to a One World Order by those that run and operate within the World Economic Forum, then sit up and pay attention, because God is calling us back to Him as our Creator and Redeemer. The reason why the Holy Spirit has guided us to Frances Hogan is not only because she is a Scripture Scholar, but also because she ties everything that the Doctors of our Church have taught on the Book of Revelation with God’s Divine Will. We are living in phenomenal times because this is our golden opportunity to become saints for Our Lord, and it all begins with whose side are you on in these end times? If you are on God’s side, you will be able to identify the separation of His Sheep that has already begun as we see evil continuing to grow and permeate everything in our cultures and societies. Many that have been following this blog have understood that we are on a Spiritual journey with Our Lord, and this is not new for us to become saints! But, what is different here is that God is allowing us to choose Him at the highest level of sanctity in the history of God’s creation with Adam and Eve, which is the Divine Will. We are in the middle of this battle between good and evil, and if you are just now waking up to this, it’s okay because God is calling us back to His Sacred Heart and you have been given a Grace from God to Repent of your sins and Surrender to His Divine Will.
Here is this fantastic teaching by Frances Hogan explaining the evil that has been manifesting itself little by little this past century, but now as we all see with our own eyes, manifesting into a one world order. Here is Frances Hogan explaining that we are currently in the battle of Armageddon Spiritually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1X12UrsRA.
Here is Frances Hogan explaining the rest of the Book of Revelation, Chapter 17B, and reminding us that we had better take a stand on whose side we are on before it is too late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3p_RAtqogI.
Here is the Book of Revelation, Chapter 17 in God’s Holy Word. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%2017&version=NIV.
If you are new to this blog, please do not be afraid of whether you are going to be able to hear God’s voice or see a flame from your Guardian Angel when it comes time to flee to the Refuges. If we are in a state of Grace, and we have been working on our Spiritual life with Our Lord, then we should be getting either Spiritual consolation from Him during the Holy Mass, or in Adoration, or in our time in prayer with Him. If you are already discerning that this is happening and your love for God is on holy fire, then you are definitely in the Purgative stage of the interior life with Our Lord. Remember that God has to clean up our souls and purify our defects in order to continue to move us forward in the Spiritual life of union with Him. This all depends on how we respond to Him and become obedient to His promptings and our desire to really KNOW Him on a personal level. In my own experience, I was on holy fire for about seven years, but now I understand that Our Lord has pulled back in the dark night of the senses, and I only occasionally get a consolation from Him. This has been extremely difficult, but this is how God operates in purifying our souls and guiding our wills into His Divine Will. He removes our own selfish desires of the “feeling good” with His Spiritual consolation to us, because performing all of our actions for Him should be out of our own PURE LOVE for Him, and not because it makes us “feel good”. So, the drive that we once had being on fire with the Holy Spirit has diminished, but our hearts still yearn to serve and love Our Lord as much as it did when we are on holy fire, and we are now being tested to remain faithful. This is time when we decide to keep moving forward in union with God or fall back into our worldly desires because everything is too hard to become a saint. Trials and Tribulations are always part of our tests of faithfulness to God in order to become His Saint. This is something He allows to keep us moving deeper in union with Him, and this out of His love for us as His Children.
Here is the guide that we found last week again on the internet that is a Spiritual tool we can use to discern where we are on this Spiritual journey with God. I have personally heard many people say that they have never heard God’s voice. This does not mean you are not on this Spiritual journey, but it does mean that you need to go and sit down with Our Lord in Adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament and spend a lot of time loving Him, talking to Him, giving Him your thoughts, and heart. Eventually, He will begin to reveal Himself to you if you are in a state of Grace. If you still aren’t hearing His voice, then this is because you have decided that this is impossible, and every thought is your own thought. You have to Surrender your heart to God and tell Him that it is your desire to be closer to Him. Also, if you still have some mortal sins on your soul that you were too ashamed to Confess, then you have to go back to Confession and confess those sins, because this is the first step in being reconciled back to God. Also, St. Ignatius of Loyola teaches us that Satan will use an unconfessed egregious mortal sin against us to either keep us away from Confession, or as a judgment of guilt against us to make us believe we are not worthy enough for God.
If you have done all of this, and still are not hearing God speak to you on some level, like an image, or a word or words that come to your heart, or feeling of love that overwhelms you, then take a journal with you in Adoration, speak to Our Lord, and when you get a spontaneous thought or image in your mind, write it down. This is a form of Lectio Divina. It is a way that Our Lord speaks to you, that you are actually beginning to discern how to separate what you are getting in your mind and heart from your own thoughts. This takes time, and don’t expect that you have it perfected right away. When you are finished in Adoration of adoring and loving Our Lord, ask Him to give you confirmation that these words or images you wrote down are actually from Him and not your own imagination. If they are from Our Lord, you will get a sign after reading Holy Scripture, or from a friend that says something to you, or even seeing something while living your life throughout your day, or you may get a sign a few days later.
So, if we desire to hear God’s voice, we MUST spend time with Him in prayer, and this is something that both St. Teresa of Avila and Saint John of the Cross have taught us. Here is this fantastic Spiritual guide again, in case you missed it the other day when we posted it. http://christinasemmens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Stages-of-Spiritual-Journey-by-St-John-of-Cross.pdf.
For those that still have a lot of worry or anxiety over these times, this is for us the Purgative stage, and this is where a lot of us get stuck in our Spiritual lives with our Lord. It’s okay to feel this way at first, but we MUST continue to strive for holiness, so that we can get to the Illuminative Way (only with God’s Graces), and we can believe that no matter what happens to us in these times, God is either going to bring us home with Him in the Heavenly Kingdom, or we are going to move on into the preparation of the Era of Peace as God’s Saint. Our desires should always be in God’s Divine Will. So, this should be the goal that we have all set for ourselves to become God’s saints. If you have been studying the Prophets and Our Blessed Mother’s prophetic messages, you would have read over and over again that God is asking us to be more Spiritual in these times. If we are seeking God’s Divine Will, and we are doing everything that the Saints did before us, then we are on our way to becoming a Saint for God with our robes washed white in the Blood of the Lamb. It is more than just a Baptism of water; it is also a baptism of fire by the Holy Spirit. If you were Baptized, you may only be halfway there believing like the world believes, that you are a good person, and that is good enough for God. But, as we live in the world, we begin to be blinded by our actual sins that Satan has tempted us with, and our Mortal sins have separated us from God. This is why we MUST go to Confession! We spoke extensively about this at the beginning of this blog, and now we must remind new followers of this, because we have all been Spiritually blinded by our own sins in our lives. No one is perfect and God knows this, and this is why He is bringing us the Warning/Illumination of Conscience with His Divine Mercy.
When we get at least to the beginning of the Illuminative stage of the Spiritual life, our fears begin to be alleviated from death as we become a more mature Disciple and follower of Christ. We begin to understand that this life is only temporary, and our desires are to love God, live to Serve Him for the salvation of souls, please Him, and be with Him in His Heavenly Kingdom. Here is an excerpt from Volume 18, on there being no death in His Divine Will. In fact, as we grow more Spiritually in full Union with God, we die to ourselves daily, and are reborn more Spiritually connected to God. Here is an excerpt from Our Lord explaining this in His Divine Will from January 24, 1926.
January 24, 1926
The Divine Will is Mother of all human wills. In the Divine Will there are no deaths.
I felt all abandoned by Heaven and by the earth, and I thought to myself that Jesus had told me a long time before that I was to live in the hard exile of life as if there were no one else but Jesus and I; everyone was to disappear from my mind and from my heart. And now, after everything has disappeared from me and I am used to living only with Jesus, He too has run away, leaving me alone, prey to unspeakable bitterness, in this hard state of isolation. Oh! God, what pain. Have pity on me – come back to the one who feels the need of your Life, more than of her own life. Now, while I was thinking of this, and of other yet more harrowing things, which it would be too long to say, my sweet Jesus moved in my interior, and sighing, told me: “Daughter of my Supreme Volition, courage in your isolation. This serves as company for my Will, abandoned by creatures. The sorrow of Its isolation –
oh! how harder than yours it is. My Will is the Mother of all the wills of creatures. As most tender Mother, She left Herself in the center of Creation in order to deliver the human wills and keep them all around Herself, to raise them upon Her knees, nourish them with the milk of Her celestial teachings, and make them grow in Her likeness, giving them all Creation in which to amuse themselves. And since my Will is center of each created thing, wherever the creatures would go, She, as center of all things, would remain always near them, more than affectionate Mother, that they might never lack Her maternal cares, nor descend from Her nobility and likeness. But, alas!, these daughters, the human wills, delivered by this Celestial Mother, my Will, despising and neglecting all Her maternal cares, Her love, Her tenderness and attentions, even though my Will is near them. These human wills are far away from this Mother; many of them don’t even know Her; others despise Her and make fun of Her. Poor Mother, which is my Will, in the midst of so many daughters delivered by Her – She remains isolated, abandoned; and while all of them take from Her own in order to live, they use it to grow in dissimilarity from Her, and to offend Her. Can there be greater sorrow for a mother than the abandonment of her children? Not to be known by the fruit of her own womb, which, turning into enemies, offend the one who brought them to the light? Therefore, the sorrow of isolation of my Will is great and inconceivable. So, may your isolation be the company of this isolated Mother, who cries and searches for Her children; but as much as She cries, shouts, and calls Her children, whether with the most tender voices, with the most bitter tears, with the most ardent sighs, or with the most thundering voices of chastisements, these unruly children keep far away from the womb of She who generated them. My daughter, do you not want to share, as true faithful daughter of my Will, in Her sorrow and in Her isolation?” Then, after this, I began to do the adoration to my Crucified Good; but before my mind passed a long line of soldiers, all armed up, which never ended. I would have wanted to think about my Crucified Jesus, rather than see soldiers, but, against my will, I was forced to see these soldiers, equipped for anything. So I prayed my sweet Jesus to take that sight away from me, that I might be free to be with Him; and Jesus, all afflicted, told me: “My daughter, the more it seems that the world is apparently in peace, and they sing the praises of peace, the more they hide wars, revolutions and tragic scenes for poor humanity, under that ephemeral and masked peace. And the more it seems that they favor my Church, and sing hymns of victories and triumphs, and practices of union between State and Church, the closer the brawl is which they are preparing against Her. The same was for Me. Up until they acclaimed Me as King and received Me in triumph, I was able to live in the midst of the peoples; but after my triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, they no longer let Me live; and after a few days they shouted at Me: ‘Crucify Him!’; and all taking arms against Me, they made Me die. When things do not start from a foundation of truth, they have no strength to reign for a long time, because, since truth is missing, love is missing, and the life that sustains it is missing. Therefore, what they were hiding easily comes out, and they turn peace into war, and favors into revenges. Oh! how many unexpected things they are preparing.” Jesus disappeared, and I remained all afflicted, thinking to myself: ‘My beloved Jesus has told me many times that I was the little newborn of the Divine Will – just newly born, without having formed my little life in this Supreme Volition. And now that I am most in need in order to form my growth, Jesus leaves me alone. So, I will be like an aborted birth in the Divine Will, without having existence. Don’t You see, then, my Love, in what pitiful state I find myself, and how your very designs upon Me are reduced to nothing? O please! if You do not want to have pity on me, have pity on Yourself, on your designs and on your works which You have made for my poor soul.’ But while my poor mind wanted to go further into the sorrowful state I was in, my beloved Good came out from within my interior, and looking at me thoroughly, from head to foot, told me: “My daughter, in my Will there are neither deaths nor abortions, and one who lives in It contains, as life, the Life of my Will; and even if she feels herself dying, or even dead, she is in my Will which, containing Life, makes her rise again, in every instant, to new light, to new beauty, grace and happiness, delighting in preserving her always little within Itself, so as to have her great with Itself – little but strong, little but beautiful, just newly born, so that she might have nothing human, but everything divine. So, her life is my Will alone, which will carry out all my designs, without dispersing anything. You will be like the drop of water submerged within the great sea; like the grain of wheat amidst the great masses of grains: as much as the drop of water seems as though disappeared within the sea, just as the grain amidst the innumerable grains, no one can deny or take away from them the right that their life exists. Therefore, do not fear, and make it so that you lose your life, in order to acquire the right to have my Will alone as life.”
Let us Pray – Lord, we die to ourselves only by Your Graces, so that we can be reborn in Your Divine Will. Please deliver us from all evil that continues to surround us in this world and teach us how to become Your Saints. The only knowledge we have is what You Grace us with in each of our own hearts on what it means to be in full union with You. Please allow us to hear Your voice and continue to instruct us as You are the Divine Teacher with all knowledge, all wisdom, all understanding, and all Truth. We can do nothing without our complete dependency on You and how to move forward in this world to get closer to You now, and not after our physical death. Our heart’s desires are to be with You constantly and to live perpetually in Your Divine Will, which is Your desire for the salvation of all souls. Hear our cries, Oh Lord, that we need You and cannot bear to live one second separated from You. Expand our souls so that we can accept Your Divine Will and Surrender fully to Your Love and live as living tabernacles for You on this earth. We are not worthy, but we Surrender ourselves to You to be made worthy of all of Your promises. We ask this in Your name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Here are the latest messages from After the Warning website. One of the followers of the blog has a concern about Lorena’s messages because she made the statement in her latest message that invitro fertilization babies have no soul. We must remember that Lorena has not been officially approved by Our Church, and from what we understand has only local approval by her Priests in Mexico. Because we can’t confirm that her Priests are actually discerning all of her messages, please use caution when reading any of these messages. We do still believe that Lorena is an authentic Prophet, however, we could also be mistaken because none of us have perfect discernment. When we consider the fact that Our Church has defined human life at the moment of conception, and our Church although does not approve of invitro fertilization, has never stated that the invitro fertilized children are soul less, we must take time to discern and ensure Lorena’s messages are still aligned with our Catholic Church. So, this might be an accidental loss of translation from Spanish to English in this message from a few weeks ago, or incorrect wording used by the translator from the original Spanish message from Lorena Portillo. It is hard to know at this point, but please pray about all messages as we post them, and we will try and continue to discern with the Holy Spirit. Not ready to discontinue posting her messages just yet, because we are still discerning and ask all of you to do the same. Thank you everyone for your prayers and discernment.
