THESE are ALL the LORD God’s ✡️📖✝️Words, written down THROUGH over 40 different biblical authors of HIS CHOOSING, from the time of Moses (~3400 yrs ago, 1400BC), up to John the Apostle (Gospel, letters, Revelation~90AD).
IF A PERSON STATES that they believe in the Father, the Son-the Lord Jesus Christ-and the Holy Spirit— they will be held accountable to BELIEVE IN, read, study, learn, and know the whole counsel of God’s ✡️📖✝️ Word (Acts 20:27), IN ORDER TO have an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus.
ALSO, to have the Holy Spirit DWELL (Jn. 3:3,5,7) in them, leading, guiding, teaching, and CORRECTING them (Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9,11; Eph. 1:13-14), and remind them that they are the TEMPLE of the LIVING GOD (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19).
THOSE who have EARS TO HEAR (Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mi. 4:23; Lk. 8:8; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6,13; 13:9) what the Holy Spirit SAYS, will be the ones that are the most obedient to Him, disciplined and discerning of all that is happening in this world concerning the End Times.
KEEP Watch, PRAY, have your lamps filled (Matt. 25:1-13), and BE READY(Matt. 24:44; Lk. 12:40; 2Tim. 4:2), for NO ONE knows that Day or Hour (Mk. 13:32-33; Matt. 25:13; 24:36, 42) when the Father will have the Son begin the Time of the AntiChrist, and the 21 Judgements of Revelation (see Rev. ch. 6-18).
The End of all things IS AT HAND (1Peter 4:7). Do NOT be fooled into thinking that the LORD will not return. Peter warned us about this (see 2Peter 3:3-4).
The Lord is patient (2Pet. 3:9), and He has allowed thousands of years to pass in order for many to come to repentance.
HOWEVER, as there was a Beginning (Genesis 1:1), there WILL be END (Rev. 20:10-15; 21:4-5, 8) of all things. The Lord Jesus MUST return (Acts 1:11;Rev. 1:7-8; 19:11), and JUDGE the Earth and its inhabitants AS IT IS WRITTEN (Acts 10:42; 17:31; Jn. 14:3; 2Tim. 4:8; 2 Cor. 5:10; Jude 1:14-15; Rev.22:12).
EVERY FAMILY is affected one way or another by the demonic realm. They attack in so many different ways with so many different people, especially those who are non-believers, but not so surprisingly anymore, even among those who profess to be Christians. See 1Timothy 4:1-5 and 2Peter 3:4 for a couple of examples.
After all, Scripture does tell us that “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus WILL BE persecuted, while evil people and impostors WILL GO ON FROM BAD TO WORSE, deceiving and BEING deceived” (2Tim. 3:12-13).
So we should expect trouble to occur in this day and time as we get closer to the “End of Days”, not only with strangers or co-workers, etc., but from WITHIN our own FAMILIES.
AND—this problem is also affecting me as well; being a servant of the Most High doesn’t mean I’m immune to any sort of attacks. I don’t just deal with the onslaught from satanic groups or the like; in fact, most of the attacks a Christian like myself faces comes right from our own family members and close friends.
How and why does that happen? I’ll give you a few examples from Scripture of what people DO NOT look out for, when certain negative thoughts come into their minds.
I’ll share a real example from my own life experiences that is taking place right now.
HaSatan is doing an excellent job with certain people in my family; unfortunately they don’t recognize the “fiery darts”(Eph. 6:16) shooting into their mind as from him and the demons.
Furthermore, they do not “take every thought captive (2Cor. 5:10) to the obedience of Christ.”
And, I can almost guarantee that those who say they are Christ’s, are NOT putting on the armor of God every single day (Eph. 6:10-18).
Which also means they are NOT allowing the Holy Soirit to chastise and correct them, instruct them, and teach them (Jn.16:8-11,13; 14:26; 15:26) via God’s Word, how to PROTECT THEMSELVES from such demonic mental attacks.
Those people have not allowed the Holy Spirit to work in them, in order for them to “be transformed by the renewal of your mind”, so they will be able to rightly discern (Rom. 12:1-2) right from wrong; to know God’s will vs. allowing their flesh and emotions to take over.
PAUL the Apostle in Romans 8:6-7 stated, “For to set the mind on the flesh is DEATH, but to set the mind on the (Holy) Spirit is LIFE and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is HOSTILE to God, for it does not submit to God‘s law; indeed, it cannot.”
HENCE vs. 8: “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”
HOW MUCH hostility have we seen in the present day concerning the truth of the Bible, godliness, purity, etc.? This world is adamantly AGAINST all that is of God and His Word!
Though the natural (fleshly, non -believer) person doesn’t accept the things of God (1Cor. 2:14), unfortunately, sometimes the believer gets caught up in the worldly drama when they are NOT disciplining themselves in whatever junk they take INTO their thought life. Ephesians 2:1-3 says we believers WERE DEAD in our trespasses and sins”, but should no longer live or think like the fleshly, worldly person.
Yet it continues to happen when the Christian doesn’t have or want the knowledge of Christ and HIS truth (Jn 14:6; 17:17); they do not rightly handle the word of truth (2Tim. 2:15); nor do they diligently allow Scripture or the Holy Spirit Who DWELLS IN each true believer (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19) to be the instrument of instruction, reproof, correction, or training in righteousness”( 2Tim3:16) that the Lord Jesus, Who IS the living Word of God-desired for us, in order for us to have the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2:16; Philippians 2:5).
Furthermore, Romans 8:9 REMINDS us professed Christians that “YOU, however, are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT, IF IN FACT the Spirit of God DWELLS IN you. ANYONE who does NOT have the Spirit of Christ does NOT BELONG TO HIM.”
A VERY strong statement from Paul there, but needful so that we realize how crucial and significant it is to make sure that we have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us at ALL times, and in all circumstances.
Hence the reason why those who do not put to practice what the Lord Jesus stated in His Word, end up believing wrong things about me and others, and before you know it, I’m on their “blacklist” and ostracized from their lives and most family gatherings.
So when THIS happens to YOU, PRAY powerful spiritual warfare prayers FOR them and AGAINST the demonic entities that plague them, and leave the rest up to the Lord Jesus, Who will be the JUDGE of all.
CONTINUE to love them, forgive them for how they hurt you, but WALK AWAY if you must (hopefully, only for a certain amount of time)to stay away from the arguments and drama. LET God the Father and His Son deal with them in Their own way.
Continue to live your life out for Christ, and be the light in the midst of the darkness that is unfortunately increasing with every passing day.
A VERY LONG POST–but I am PLEADING with the Most High God my Father to help you all UNDERSTAND BETTER what is REALLY going on in the SPIRITUAL REALM!!
Genesis 6 tells us that “…the sons of God went into the daughters of men…”—
Genesis 1:26-27 tells us that we were made in the image of the Most High God and his Son, Jesus Christ. The LORD God the FATHER was not speaking to Jesus and the Holy Spirit in that particular verse; He was speaking to the already created sons of God—b’ney Elohim— standing around Him. Gen. 1:27 literally says, “So God created man in his own image.”
Need more proof? Ok.
Let’s go to Genesis 6:4, where it tells us that “The Nephilim were on the Earth in those days, and also AFTERWARD, when the sons of God came into the daughters of man and they bore children to them…”— how much more direct and specific do you need for the Bible to get to accept what the Lord God is saying??
Want MORE proof?? Ok. Let’s go to Genesis chapter 11. “And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.” Skip to verse 7– the Lord God still speaking here—“Come, let us go down and they’re confused their language so that they may not understand one another speech.” Yarad-ירד in Hebrew (root of verb), in the Qal form of the verb, means “to go or come down”.
Who is the “US” there?
When you PARSE the verb, it is the FIRST Person Cohortative Common PLURAL,
The inflected Hebrew verb of “yarad” there is נרדה. The Greek Septuagint of the same word is καταβάντες -again, meaning “let US go down.”
The answer to the “US” there is found in verse 8–“So the LORD dispersed them from their over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.”
Just like in Genesis 1:26, the Lord God Elohim didn’t need to tell Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come with him and go down there and disperse the people. The Lord God was talking to his servants, whether they were angels, or some other supernatural being that HE created. After Genesis 6, there were beings that roamed about this earth and are still roaming, that HE-the Lord God — did not create. Just wanted to make that little point there.
From Genesis chapter 12 onward for the next several chapters it was all about Abraham, the blessing, the promise, etc.
Jump to chapter 18, where it tells us  How the Lord God appeared to Abraham, and he had two other MEN (Hebrew word אנשּׁים—plural=men) with Him. They all sat down and ate a meal ( verse 8). Once they were done eating that meal, the Lord continued in his conversation as Moses wrote it telling Abraham and Sarah, how they were going to have a child around that time next year. In verse 16, it states, “Then THE MEN set out from there, and they looked down towards Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way.”
And then the LORD God tells Abraham what he’s about to do in Sodom and Gomorrah “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave”(vs. 20). The Lord further says in verse 21 that “I WILL GO DOWN to see weather they have done altogether (meaning if they deserve destruction and a complete end), according to the outcry that has come to ME.”
 when you switch over to chapter 19, suddenly inverse one it actually says, “The two ANGELS” -המּלאכים . Apparently, the disgusting vile men who were in plain English, also having sex with young boys in that town saw those angels as MEN— because they told Lot to ”Bring them OUT to us, that we may KNOW (have intercourse) with them.” The men of Sodom and Gomorrah saw those angels as physical men. And Moses even used the plural term, “men” again in verse 10 when they had to …”reach out their hands and bring Lot into the house with them and shut the door.”
So the words “angels” and “men” were used interchangeably in Genesis 19 for the same exact spiritual beings that were with the Lord God=JESUS in a “Christophany” back in chapter 18. 
Obviously, if you know the story, Sodom and Gomorrah, amongst other few cities around there were destroyed. Why? Because of the SIN of perversion and wickedness between the men with each other, with the young boys, and if they had their way, they would’ve had relations with those angels as well. Though some of you don’t believe that angels could be corporeal, because obviously some traditions tell us that— this is why sometimes as much as we love our churches, and traditions, we have to go back to see what the ancient biblical writers said in their texts.
You have to understand that there were times when the Lord God permitted those angels(and that is only one of several different types of spiritual beings and their FUNCTION {messenger, warrior, etc.} that the LORD God created) to be in a PHYSICAL FORM.
Genesis 6 plainly tells us that some of those supernatural beings that were functioned as “angels”— sons of the Most High God — as 2Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 put it— they left the positions that the Lord God gave them to do, REBELLED, fell away, sinned, and now those very angels are kept in darkness in chains until the coming of the Judgment Day.
Genesis 11 and Deuteronomy 32:8-9 are where there were other angels delegated to serve humanity in wherever they were dispersed to in this world. Those particular sons of the most high God (about 70 of them) also did not stay obedient, but rather allowed the human beings to start thinking that they were supposed to worship THEM— never correcting the humans to STOP worshiping and serving THEM instead of the Most High God, apparently.
And if you read those two above mentioned passages along with Psalm 82, Psalm 89 and others that I personally have spoken about in my previous posts, the pieces of the puzzle tell you that these sons of God are the ones along with the demonic beings — the “Demi gods”— who have deceived humanity into thinking they are the gods that they’re supposed to worship. READ JONATHAN CAHN’s book—“The Return of the Gods”— for a better and more thorough explanation. You’ll thank me later.
READ either “The Unseen Realm” by Dr. Mike Heiser, or “Supernatural”— a little bit less academic and more reader, friendly version of the book, “Unseen Realm”, to really get into the deeper parts of what I always have been for the last couple of years, been talking with you about when it comes to the spiritual realm.
The other creatures that I mentioned earlier are what we would know today as “Demi-gods”— like Hercules and Perseus from mythology; but I’ve told you more than once that some of that mythology was really based on FACTS. Hence, the reason why I “just so happened” to have been able to take a mythology class and one other Greek and Roman mythology film class while I was at Stockton a few years ago. It was all part of God‘s plan to make me connect the dots to what we thought was myth, and what really is FACTUAL!!
A hard pill to swallow, I understand. I really do. I myself could not get myself to believe all that the late Dr. Rebecca Brown spoke of in her three books almost 4 decades ago when I first read them. Now I am rereading them again and nodding my head, laughing and crying as I read some of the stuff because it has become VERY REAL TO ME  in my faith walk as well!!
But the demons that roam about, seeking whom they may devour, recorded in both the Old Testament and New Testament, had to come from somewhere. They are half angel, half human because of what happened in Genesis 6. Those are the demons that we deal with to this day. They are disembodied spirits looking for a home. That home is the human body. The Lord Jesus spoke about that in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke recorded it as well in Luke 11:24-26.
So what this gentleman speaks of -who I’ve never seen anything from him before and why the Holy Spirit chose him to use this video—??— does have a lot of information in it, but also needing a little correction, of course as to what he thought were non-corporeal spirits. 
The 👿evil must come from somewhere, folks. The Lord is 📖revealing more and more to us in these last days. The problem is, that most Christians won’t accept it, but they’ll still wonder where the evil is coming from.
So the Lord God gives us answers in His 📖Word, and then we humans sit there and argue and debate with each other, and insist that cannot be because we don’t want to accept it, we’re too afraid of what it says, we in our human minds can’t handle the thought of these invisible creatures roaming about the Earth seeking to devour us, etc.
Whatever your excuse is for not believing God‘s 📖Word, I lovingly suggest that you go to the Holy 🕊️Spirit if you are a Christian, and plead with Him to humble you enough so that you will start to desire to know the whole counsel of His ✡️📖✝️Word.
Stop using the traditions card, stop using whatever church you go to Card, etc. This evil that you see now almost daily will continue to wax worse and worse each and every day.
The Antichrist character that the Bible speaks of will soon be on the world‘s stage. Prophetic events that were recorded both in the Old and New Testament WILL COME TO PASS— whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not, etc.
As it is written, “EVERY WORD OF GOD PROVES TRUE…”(Prov. 30:5); “Sanctify them (us) in YOUR WORD…” (Jn. 17:17); “The entirety of YOUR WORD is TRUTH” ( Ps. 119:160)— the King James says, “THY WORD IS TRUE FROM THE BEGINNING…”
So that means ALL of ✡️God‘s 📖Word is true, whether we like it or not, or whether we believe it or not.
There are angels, there are other supernatural beings, both good and evil, there are demonic beings that do roam about this earth and —are very much in charge of every single country in this world; they have a hierarchy of supernatural demonic beings and angels that have different skills and abilities and —and they do have leaders — human leaders —that do as they tell them to — or else!!
And all those demonic beings, evil spirits, unclean, spirits, etc. have that leader— that rebellious angel which ONCE WAS an “anointed cherub” (see Is. 14:12-14 and Ez. 28:12-15) who WAS in service of the Most High God. WAS!!
Most people call him Satan, some call him, Lucifer, but I call him the enemy of our souls.  He seeks to devour and destroy every single last human being because as Genesis 1:26-27 tells us, we were made in the image of GOD!!
Be prayerful, be watchful, be sober and alert as the apostle Peter taught us (see 1Peter 5:8-9). RESIST THE DEVIL and his minions!! Do not fear them, but resist them in the faith, power, authority that the Lord Jesus Christ gave to you (see Luke 10:19)!!
Put on the whole armor of God like the apostle Paul spoke of in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Cry out to the Most High God of all the evil that is going on, and how humanity has been so deceived to allow these disgusting vile creatures to come into every single human being, at one point or another to vex us, oppress us, infiltrate us, to make us have obsessions over everything you can imagine, to depress us, and, for those who do not have the Holy Spirit in them—to POSSESS us humans, like they did to this poor young man who had those demons of sodomy, confusion of sex, murder, hate, etc. And ultimately the demonic spirit of DEATH-which Christ Jesus himself defeated at the CROSS!!
But the devil and his minions do not want you to know that — they want you to be full of fear, and fearing death, be full of pride, like they are, and arrogance, so that you will not take the word of God seriously enough to do all that it says in it to do and how to live your life out for the Lord God and his son the Lord Jesus Christ .
That’s the last thing they want you to do!! Because then you will be onto them, and no longer put up with their demonic CRAP (yea, I said it!) — and in the confidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and not in ourselves, YOU TOO, can stand up against them, rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ, AND THEY WILL FLEE FROM YOU!!
Protect yourselves, your family, your children, your grandchildren, etc. By sharing the word of God, praying over your loved ones and your friends, pray the powerful spiritual warfare prayers (see Fr. Chad Ripperger’s book -“Deliverance Prayers for the Laity”, for example), or go onto Monsignor Steven Rosetti‘s website— the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal”— and look at his resources there.
I apologize that this is so long, but when the Holy Spirit puts it upon me to speak to you and share with you, what is most important— I must obey because I love you, and care about you all enough to do so.  
I REALIZE THIS IS A VERY LONG POST–BUT IT IS NECESSARY THAT I SHARE BOTH THINGS IN THE SAME POST–PLEASE, BELOVED–PLEASE TAKE THE TIME OUT TO READ ALL OF IT!🙏❤️✡️📖✝️
This is the second time I am writing this out; I happen to see this post at around 1:45am or so, when I woke up (as usual) and was looking at my phone. But as I was writing it out, it “disappeared”—just wiped off my phone. I was so upset, but the LORD said to me, “Jeannette, do not allow the evil ones to have you REACT—just put the phone down, deal with the post in the morning, and let your energy be used to RESPOND rather than REACT to their evil doings.”
SO—when they get me ticked off as they did early this morning—THIS POST is the RESULT of that, and I am taking what Abba told me to do, and put my energy into RESPONDING in a very long but VERY INFORMATIVE post, rather than reacting in anger to those vile pieces of demonic filth. What I basically said in the comments and now in this post on my page, is that what Pope Leo XIII experienced, was REAL. What he SAID—“demons that wander around the world at the expense of souls”—is close to what 1 Peter 5:8-9 stated—“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary (that is the definition of HaSatan-“the satan”—it is NOT his personal “name”) the devil PROWLS AROUND like a roaring lion, SEEKING someone to DEVOUR…”
WHAT I want to point out here is (and have stated this MANY times in my posts regarding Spiritual Warfare and the demonic realm and how they seek to “steal, kill, and destroy” [Jn. 10:10] us—HENCE the reason why Paul told us to DAILY put on the ARMOR of GOD [see Eph. 6:10-18]) that there are MANY REBELLIOUS supernatural beings-aka “sons of God” AND the spirits of those rebellious sons HAVE GONE OUT into this world (see Ps. 82:1,6; 89:6-7; Matt. 4:24; 8:31; 12:28, 43-45; Mark 1:39; 3:15; Luke 4:41; 10:17) that CONTINUE to seek out DESTRUCTION, mainly because we WERE MADE in the IMAGE of GOD (see Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7).
I have shared MANY TIMES over the past 3-4 years about just WHO these evil entities are; the SURPRISING thing I notice over and over again is—hardly ANYONE on my FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM (if it is allowed to be shared over there!) pays any ATTENTION to those type of posts!! YET—just HOW MANY ADDICTIONS, STRONGHOLDS, ISSUES, ETC. do you HAVE in your lives?? You seek out SOLUTIONS to these problems, and YET IGNORE the FACTS on WHO IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS in your lives!!
You pray and pray for answers, and when those answers SHOW UP on my page (or other servant of God’s pages) that the LORD HIMSELF has us take the TIME OUT to write up and SHARE with you all—MOST of you SCROLL PAST it, and ignore the very ANSWERS to your PROBLEMS!! HENCE the reason why you still HAVE those STRONGHOLDS in your lives, because you REFUSE to SEEK the TRUTH in WHAT and WHO are DECEIVING YOU into staying BOUND in those demonic strongholds (for example–OCD, ADDICTIONS, ANXIETIES, DEPRESSION, FEAR, PRIDE, ARROGANCE, etc.).
THIS POST about Pope Leo XIII IS VALIDATED by what I personally have experienced since having to deal with Spiritual Warfare, and learned MUCH MORE about the “WHAT” and “WHO” that are behind the evil that PLAGUES this entire WORLD.
REMEMBER that we, being made in the image of GOD, are primarily (and in THIS order) SPIRIT, SOUL (mind, will, intellect/personality), and are COVERED in a fleshly BODY (see 1 Thess. 5:23; Hebrews 12:9 and Ecclesiastes 12:7 for just a few verses about how we are primarily SPIRITS). GOD HIMSELF is a SPIRIT –Jn. 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17. The HOLY SPIRIT ONLY DWELLS in those who have REPENTED and MADE JESUS the LORD and SAVIOR of their lives; otherwise, they have OTHER DEMONIC and UNCLEAN SPIRITS living within and around them, enticing them, deceiving them, and infiltrating them to the point of DEATH.
WE CHOOSE who we are going to SERVE (see Joshua 24:14-15), and WHAT SPIRITS we will allow to RULE WITHIN us—the HOLY SPIRIT of God, so we CAN have ANGELIC MINISTERS around us daily, while living out our lives for the Most High and His Son—OR—we are plagued with those demonic entities that WILL continue (at the LORD GOD’S allowance to TEST us and see where our ALLEGIANCE lies) to “roam about, seeking whom they may devour”—until the LORD JESUS returns…
I will CONTINUE to share much more on this topic, and I pray that YOU that proclaim to be CHRISTIANS (and even more so for you that are NOT!) realize that THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WAR happening between HEAVEN and EARTH, and it is CONTINUOUSLY going on, as it HAS BEEN, since the FIRST rebellious spirit being deceived Adam and Eve in the GARDEN of EDEN. THIS SPIRITUAL WARFARE will NOT STOP, until the LORD JESUS RETURNS, and in HIS WRATH, places those evil entities that plagued mankind for all these millennia, in the ETERNAL FIRES (see Revelation 20:10-15).
Do LOOK UP these verses for yourselves—DANIEL 10:13,21; 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7—re: Michael the CHIEF PRINCE of Warrior angels; HE IS one of the original WATCHER angels that has stayed LOYAL to the Most High Triune Godhead. He IS the Chief Prince Angel that watches over ISRAEL, because ISRAEL (Jacob) IS the LORD GOD’s inheritance through ABRAHAM who HE chose Himself (Deut. 32:8-9). DANIEL 8:16; 9:21; Luke 1:19, 26—re: Gabriel—another original holy WATCHER, who is the Angel that is responsible for those that WERE in Paradise (now empty after the Lord Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into Heaven), the serpents (much research and study needs to be done for you to understand what THIS means), and the CHERUBIM—which is one of the hierarchal class of spiritual beings –they are NOT ALL ANGELS, nor do ALL angels have WINGS! ONLY the SERAPHIM and CHERUBIM (of which Lucifer/HaSatan/the “Nachash”-serpent-that was mentioned in the Garden of Eden and spoken about in Isaiah 14:12-14, AND Ezekiel 28:12-15—speaking specifically in vs. 13 that he WAS in the Garden of Eden, and in vs. 14—he was called, the “anointed GUARDIAN CHERUB.”
GO TO Genesis 3:24 and READ IT for yourselves—the LORD GOD placed CHERUBIM and a “FLAMING SWORD” (obviously had to REPLACE the Cherub mentioned IN Ezek. 28:12-15 that REBELLED against Him, and became the FIRST of THREE rebellion events (see also Genesis 6:1-4 and Genesis 11—the TOWER of Babel, combined with Deut. 32:8-9, and Psalm 82 and 89 that I already mentioned above) that happened within those supernatural spiritual “sons of God” that HE, the LORD GOD, created. HEBREWS 1:7, 14 TELLS us that the LORD GOD made some of those spiritual beings function as ANGELS—so that they COULD BE “ministering spirits sent out to SERVE for the sake of those who ARE to INHERIT salvation”.
BUT that does not mean ALL the spiritual beings ARE Angels—that is their FUNCTION; WHAT and WHO they are, are “RUACH” = SPIRIT. They DO HAVE certain STATUS/RANK as even PAUL has written about—for example—Powers, Principalities, Thrones, Dominions, etc. YOU can look up such verses as Psalm 148:2-5; Colossians 1:16, Nehemiah 9:6, and also JOB 38:4-7 (esp. verse 7) where those “sons of God”—b’ney Elohim AND the “morning stars” ALL joined together to REJOICE and SHOUT for joy when the LORD GOD created and laid down the foundations of the EARTH (see Job. 38:4-5).
I do realize that I wrote a LOT here, and most of it may “go over” your heads. BUT—the LORD God took a wretched sinner such as myself, who always KNEW that “something else” was going on around us, and “saw” the connections between the Heavens and Earth, and ALLOWED ME to have ALLthese supernatural experiences (angelic, demonic, and even seeing the Lord Jesus Himself, AND hearing the Voice of the LORD GOD my Father, and can now in the past several years, DISTINGUISH between all three of the Triune Godhead’s voices)—SO when I was SPIRITUALLY mature enough, I could confidently say that I can now SHARE and HELP THOSE who also want to know such things. With the recent theological studying and training I received in Seminary these past few years on top of ALL other things I’ve learned throughout my life, has prepared and enabled me to now better deal with and speak on the topics of the prophetic, and all that has to do with the spiritual realm, those in it, the Divine Council, and all that entails with Spiritual Warfare.
AGAIN–The WARFARE has been going on for millennia, and WILL continue to rage on, UNTIL the LORD returns on that Appointed “Day of the Lord” (and it isn’t just “one” day—it IS the Time of Great Tribulation and Judgment that IS to befall this Earth as it is written in Daniel, Joel, the Gospels, Revelation, etc.).
LASTLY—just so you are aware–you are NOT PRAYING to MICHAEL—but calling UPON the LORD GOD, and acknowledging that there ARE “MINISTERING SPIRITS” like Michael the PRINCE (and your own GUARDIAN ANGELS and others like them—see Ps. 91:11-12; 34:7; Heb. 1:14; Matt. 18:10), and many other passages where angels were called upon to help, like in Acts 12:7-11. TAKE ADVANTAGE, dear Christian brother and sister, of the HELP the LORD God has given us through the Heavenly Ministers that are HERE to aid us in our daily lives!!
THANKFULLY, Pope Leo XIII RESPONDED in the way the LORD God wanted him to, and told the world about how there IS a spiritual warfare going on, and how to START to combat the evil in our lives. Now at least some of the faithful know that there IS help through much PRAYER and confidence in God’s WORD, and can take advantage of the supernatural angelic HELP there is for us all. BUT—the FAITH and TRUST in God and His WORD is a MUST!
ONE DAY, the LORD Jesus WILL put those demonic and rebellious angelic and spiritual entities in their FINAL “resting” place—the LAKE of FIRE, for going against their Heavenly Father who created them, and His Son, who died NOT for them—for they SAW HIM, and LIVED with Him and KNEW of His GLORY and Majesty—even BEFORE the Lord Jesus became Man and dwelt on Earth–and YET—disobeyed and FELL AWAY, never again to be redeemed as we humans have had that MERCY and GRACE given to us THROUGH THE BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. UNTIL THEN—USE the WORD, the POWER and the AUTHORITY given to us by the Lord Jesus, to wage spiritual warfare against those who SEEK our eternal DESTRUCTION—because THEY KNOW their time is short, and their DESTRUCTION is SOON to come! 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🙏❤️✡️📖
FROM Pope Leo XIV and the CATHOLIC CHURCH on FB:
“In 1884, at the end of a mass, Pope Leo XIII suddenly raised his head, straight face and eyes fixed on something.
After a few minutes of ecstasy, the Pontifical Sovereign finally regained his senses and left the church. Half an hour later, he called the secretary of the congregation in charge of rites, handed him the prayer to St. Michael, which he had just written, and instructed him to distribute it to all the bishops. The prayer was officially initiated and recited at the end of each service by the celebrant and the entire congregation.
The sentence that the Pope uttered: “(demons) that wander around the world at the expense of souls”, has an explanation, told several times by his special secretary, Monsignor Rinaldo Angeli. Leo XIII actually really had a vision of the infernal spirits that were growing on the eternal city (Rome) and from that experience came the prayer that he wanted to have the whole Church recite.
Here is the text to this short but very important prayer… :
“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle against the evil and the snares of the devil, be our help. Please plead: Lord have it in control! And you, Prince of the heavenly militias, with the power that comes from God, cast into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the loss of souls. Amen. “
Pope Leo XIII wrote with his own hand a special exorcism contained in the Roman Ritual. (edition 1954) and recommended bishops and priests to recite these prayers often in their dioceseses and parishes.
Pope Leo XIII described his vision.
Initially as an exchange of two voices, that of God and that of Satan.
He then had a “terrible vision of hell” and, right at the end, Saint Michael the Archangel intervened after the increase of prayers aimed at him.
With the wide spread of his prayer to St. Michael and his institution at the end of each Mass, Pope Leo XIII wanted to communicate to all believers the urgency of praying fervently for the conversion of souls and for the victory of the army of the Lord against Satan, so active in the world.
I did not expect this post to be this long when I initially was sharing this video, but when the Holy Spirit has something to say–I don’t hinder Him from “speaking” through me via these posts, so here you go…
As the late great Dr. Michael Heiser stated, the early Church fathers knew the truth and TAUGHT it, yet somehow down through the centuries the traditions took over = the church leaders got sloppy with no longer properly exegeting biblical texts, in order to interpret them correctly according to CONTEXT.
FOR EXAMPLE, what is being spoken about in this very short video– The erroneous notion of fallen angels being the demons is widely known, taught, and accepted within many Christian sects of the Body of Christ.
BUT–it is WRONG. Just because they taught it to you, doesn’t mean you blindly accept it. YES–the church leaders (whatever title they fall under–rabbi, priest, pastor, bishop, etc.) ARE and WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT properly teaching the Word 📖of God–the WHOLE✡️📖✝️WORD of God–from GENESIS through REVELATION!!
BUT we who PROFESS to be Christians, are ALSO held equally responsible for reading and studying God’s Word on our OWN! Some church leasers down through the millennia, have discouraged reading the Bible because of how one may wrongly interpret the passages; other leaders used it to control their congregations (let’s be honest!), and only taught them what they wanted them to know!
📖If one looks at such verses as Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 15:26, 16:13, and pretty much all of the book of ACTS, one will see just how much the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT was saying, teaching, and doing WITHIN the BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS of the Church after Christ’s resurrection and ascension into Heaven. It was and IS, HE that continues to teach and guide the person who confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Rom. 3:10,23; 10:9-10, 13), became a child of God (Jn. 1:12) and who received the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 33,38) in order to become BORN AGAIN (Jn. 3:3,5,7) SPIRIT-FILLED believers of God.
OH–and as far as “interpretations” and “versions” of the Bible that many people use as excuses to either NOT read or study, or say it all lends to confusion and division of the Body of Christ–you’re partially correct–the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41), along with those demonic entities that “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8) know that if you do NOT resist him in your FAITH (1 Peter 5:9), wearing the armor of God daily (Eph. 6:10-18), and USE the authority given to you the believer by the Lord Jesus Christ to tread on those demonic serpents (like the one in Genesis 3!) and scorpions (see Luke 10:19), you WILL be deceived into thinking that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture, and will end up NOT taking God’s 📖Word as TRUTH (Jn. 17:17; see also Ps. 119:9-11, 105). REMEMBER–God’s Word is “firmly fixed in the heavens” (Ps. 119:89).
SO– humbly learn His Word via HIS HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT (even if there was no one to teach you, as I had no one in my family or anyone good enough in my parishes as a child–so 1 John 2:27 came into play for me, until I sat under good biblical teaching many years later), learning to “rightly divide the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), because as the Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is breathed out (pneuma/ruach) by God and profitable for teaching, for REPROOF, for correction, and for TRAINING in RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the man/woman of God may be COMPLETE (perfect), equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
BECAUSE–IF one is NOT fully surrendered and wholeheartedly following the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Savior AND Lord of their lives, living that faith life out, and filled with the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT–it is guaranteed and confirmed via SCRIPTURE that OTHER evil spirits (which are 👿DEMONS who NEED a human BODY in order to carry out their evil works!) ARE or WILL be in a human being–whether that person is a baby, child, teenager, or adult. To the demons, IT DOESN’T MATTER who they are in–as long as they can “steal, kill, and DESTROY” (Jn. 10:10) human beings in order to spite the LORD GOD and what He allowed His Son to do for us on the Cross–which IS the ONLY WAY back to the Father (Jn. 14:6).
Don’t believe me? LOOK 📖up what the LORD JESUS said when referring to evil spirits needing a “home” (= host human body) in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke 11:24-26. The FACT that both MATTHEW and LUKE recorded it in their Gospels should make you realize how serious this is. It’s also interesting how the Lord Jesus says at the end of that passage, “SO ALSO WILL IT BE WITH THIS EVIL GENERATION” (Matt. 12:45). OH how true that is TODAY!! But much is covered up by calling such demonic infestations, vexations, oppression, obsessions, and possessions, “mental or behavioural health” issues…🙄😣🙁 Thank God for the few good exorcists and deliverance workers that are out there, recognizing the demonic workings in people, and are hard at work setting these people free from their 👿strongholds!🙏❤️✝️
📖IF one looks closely at Genesis 6:1-4, and with proper reading of the ancient languages (Hebrew, in this case, and Greek in the Septuagint), studying each word and putting the pieces of the Scriptural 📖🧩puzzle together along with other passages that speak of the rebellious angels and their OFFSPRING, the Nephilim, and also the Rephaim (just to name a few: Num 13:32-33; Deut. 1:4; Genesis 11 paired with Deut. 32:8 and Daniel 10; 2Peter 2:4 along with Jude 1:6 and 1 Corinthians 10:20-22), AND coupled with reading the ENTIRE Bible–WITH the help and guidance of the Holy🕊️Spirit, a diligent Bible student can and WILL start to see a very SPIRITUAL picture form within what initially can seem and feel like, a very shocking and unnerving discovery of what REALLY is, and always has been, in God’s Word that has NOT been taught by most modern Judeo-Christian synagogue/church leaders.
Some churches ignore the majority of the Old Testament, and only preach what is in the New Testament. By doing that, the lay church member has NO CLUE on the HISTORY of ISRAEL, for example, and how the LORD God commanded Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to lead their people to the Promised Land that GOD HIMSELF gave them! That’s like telling God that half of what He had His people share with us down through the ages was JUNK!😱🫢
Many church leaders think that books like 1 and 2 Maccabees and 1 Enoch have no spiritual weight to them, and discourage their congregations from reading or studying such books. But if one were to go ahead and read those books, they would find a plethora of information on not only Israel’s history and leadership, especially dealing with the 400 years of “silence” between Malachi and Matthew, but also when it comes to the book of 1Enoch (NOTICE how I am mentioning 1 ENOCH–NOT 2nd or3rd), one would find passages in there VERBATIM to what was in Genesis 6!
And YET–the ignorance and shunning of such books continues throughout today’s modern, Western-thinking church services. Traditions of some churches have as the Lord Jesus put it, “You leave the commandments of God and hold to the TRADITIONS of men” (Mark 7:8). Elsewhere, answering the Pharisees again, Jesus stated, “…thus making VOID the Word📖of God by your tradition that YOU HANDED DOWN…”(Mk. 7:13).
Not all tradition is bad; some of it is very good. Paul tells us in such passages as 2 Thessalonians 3:6 to “keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE TRADITION that you received from us.” What tradition is Paul talking about? The testimony he gave in 1 Corinthians 15, for example, how “Christ died for our sins IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES…” (1 Cor. 15:3).
KEEP asking the Holy 🕊️Spirit to OPEN your spiritual EYES, EARS, HEART and MIND, to learn and UNDERSTAND “what the Spirit is saying” (Rev. 2:7), by having “ears to hear” (Matthew 11:15) HIS VOICE over what man may be teaching or preaching in error. ASK for DISCERNMENT so that you can know the TRUTH, and avoid following the ERRORS that have been handed down to us.
THAT way, the Scriptures that seem like a daunting, billion-piece🧩🧩🧩 puzzle😖may then start to be put together piece by piece for you, with the help of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you (Jn. 16:13) as you read and study God’s 📖Word–ALL of God’s Word.
THEN–one day, the Scriptures that seemed to be an enormous 🧩puzzle, no longer will be so confusing and intimidating to you, as you begin to RECOGNIZE the PICTURE😉that God painted on the tapestry of His Biblical LOVE Story that He longed to share with us. BUT–you MUST read ALL of it–OT and NT; you must learn to seek out WHICH apocryphal (like 1 and 2 Maccabees) and pseudepigraphal books (like 1Enoch) to read IN ADDITION to (and NOT substituting for) the entire Word ✡️📖✝️of God.
NOW go get your 📖Bible, pray up and ask the Holy 🕊️Spirit to lead and guide you in what you are about to read, and PUT more pieces of that🧩PUZZLE together! 😊🧩✡️📖✝️🕊️
These disgusting, vile evil 👿ones have but ONE job – to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10) ANY human beings as possible, BEFORE the Time of the ⚖️Judgement.
They will deceive you 💥any which 💥way they can. They know you better than you know yourself. They know what “buttons” to push, they know what to put in 🫣front of you (😈Eyegates;😈EARgates) in order for you to get locked on and pulled in.
AS His Servant who is commissioned to INFORM and WARN as my brothers and sisters before me have done, I am not at liberty to tell you the entire reason why the Lord has allowed a certain “few” of these fallen angels and their offspring – the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, otherwise known as the demons— to remain here on earth until the time of His ⚡️☄️💥🔥Wrath and ⚖️JUDGMENT(nor do I know all of those reasons); most of it you would not even want to believe; but I can tell you this much:
✨❤️We humans who were created out of PURE ✨❤️LOVE by Adonai Elohim Tseva’ot 📖(Gen. 1:26-27) have been caught up in the middle of a ✨spiritual 🛡️⚔️war 🗡️that began several millennia ago.
The ones who were (and still are) mainly involved, were the LORD God Most High and his FIRST set of creative beings, which were the ANGELS (also called “sons of God” and “morning stars” (Gen. 6:1-4; Job 38:7), who not only watched Him create everything and rejoiced over it, but were ALSO to be the “ministers of righteousness (2Cor. 11:15)” and “ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation “( Heb. 1:14).
THOSE SONS OF THE MOST HIGH WHO REBELLED, ARE (some of) THE ONES WHO already have been CHAINED UP in darkness UNTIL ⚖️the JUDGEMENT (2Pet. 2:4; Jude 1:6), and again, SOME by the LORD’S wisdom and HIS purposes, have REMAINED HERE 🌎on EARTH, for our TESTING, to see just WHO HUMANITY would ✨CHOOSE ✨and follow after—
1). Either The MOST HIGH ✡️GOD-El Elyon, El Gibbor, HIS ✝️SON, the Lord Jesus Christ -Yeshua HaMashiach-Who would be their LORD, ✝️SAVIOR, MASTER, and 👑KING, and His ETERNAL 📖WORD, having the Ruach 🕊️HaKodesh DWELL✨ WITHIN ✨them, as adopted sons of the Most High (Jn. 1:12; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 3:26; Eph. 1:5;), giving them power, strength, wisdom, discernment and authority over ALL the evil (Lk. 10:19; Eph. 6:10-18); as it is written 📖, “FOR as many as are LEAD by the 🕊️SPIRIT 🕊️OF ✡️GOD✝️, they are the SONS of God”(Rom. 8:14).
Once we truly and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become ✡️the LORD God’s sons and daughters, and ✨live ✨daily by His 📖Word, being protected by the BLOOD 🩸 of the Lord ✝️Jesus, and having the Holy 🕊️Spirit dwell within us, the devil and his angels can try to still tempt us, but they can NEVER AGAIN steal, kill, or destroy our eternal souls!🙏❤️📖🕊️
OR—-
2). Those sons of God who rebelled, and turned themselves into ALL (and I do mean ALL!!) of the different gods of this 🌎world —to ENTICE those humans to fall and worship THEM,
Just like they tried to do to THE ✝️Son of God when even HE HIMSELF was tempted in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11);
🙏The LORD God the Father, hoping that those humans would follow in the footsteps of His Son, telling those evil ones, “Away from me, Satan! For it is 📖written, Worship the LORD your God and SERVE HIM ONLY”(Matt. 4:10).
📋The main rules of this ONGOING SPIRITUAL 🛡️⚔️WAR which humans should basically be made aware of, ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1). If one is enticed by the evil, any way that the evil ones can trap them, and can convince them to STAY that way, no matter how much or little they agree to do of the evil—even if it’s just “dabbling” in it, and/or celebrating certain pagan festivals such as Samhain/Halloween, WITHOUT REPENTING for it before the end of their days on Earth—
the recompense of God will be that they lose their eternal soul at the end of their lives for CHOOSING TO REMAIN SINFUL AND NOT REPENTING of their sins, and at the ⚖️Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), they will be placed into the same 🔥eternal 🔥fires that the ✡️MOST ✝️HIGH 🕊️GOD has prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41).
2). IF the person truly DOES WANT OUT OF THAT LIFESTYLE, no matter how much or how little they got themselves involved,
AND —that individual 😭🙏REPENTS for ALL that they said or did while engaging in those pagan and demonic practices that are clearly written in📖God’s Word to be an abomination to Him (Deut. 12:2-4, 29-32; 18:9-12; 22:5; Ex20:2-5; 1Ki. 11:10; Lev. 18:24-30; Rom. 1; 1 Cor.; Eph. 4:17-19; 1Pet. 4:3)
IF they REPENT and RECANT their allegiance to the satan and all other gods they have followed and/r paid homage to by celebrating such pagan and godless practices;
AND that individual CALLS UPON THE NE OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED (Joel 2:32;Rom. 10:9-10, 13), and DECLARES the Lord Jesus Christ to be their SAVIOR AND LORD of their lives, forsaking ALL OTHER GODS—
THEN, and ONLY then, will the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT, Who is the THIRD PERSON of the ✡️Triune 📖✝️Godhead🕊️, come INTO THEM and DWELL with them (Jn. 3:3,5,7; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19), to lead and guide that individual, and make them into a “holy temple” , conforming them “into the image of His Son” (Roman. 8:29), so that they WILL BE ABLE TO enter into the Celestial Kingdom of the MOST HIGH GOD and HIS SON, at the Time of the End of Days(Rev.20-22).
That person will THEN hear those words, “Well done” (Matt. 25:21,23; Lk. 19:17), instead of hearing those 😖awful words NO human 😭ever wants to hear—
“DEPART FROM ME, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
BUT—and this is a MUST!!!—-
💥The ✨CHOICE ✨MUST ✨BE UP TO THE HUMANS THEMSELVES. 💥
NO EVIL SPIRIT, FALLEN ANGEL, or DEMON can FORCE THEM to STAY;
NEITHER CAN THE LORD GOD HIMSELF FORCE ANYONE TO LOVE HIM AND HIS SON.
💥The individual MUST come WILLINGLY to EITHER SIDE—💥
And at the ✨End of 📖Days✨, the individual’s CHOICES 💥WILL DETERMINE💥 where they end up, as it is 📖written,
“BY YOUR WORDS you willl be JUSTIFIED, and BY YOUR WORDS you will be CONDEMNED” (Matt.12:37).
The LORD GOD MOST HIGH does NOT “put” anyone into those 🔥eternal 🔥fires;
THE HUMAN BEING CHOOSES TO GO TO 🌈EITHER ✨❤️ETERNAL ✨✝️DESTINATION 🔥THEMSELVES🔥—BY THE CHOICES THEY MAKE IN THIS LIFE.
🙏Once again, beloved—I BEG YOU, please, CHOOSE WISELY ✝️who 👿you SERVE in THIS life here 🌎on Earth, for it WILL determine WHERE you spend your ✝️✨🌈ETERNAL ☄️💥🔥LIFE.
While the woke part of the world may be celebrating the demonic “Transgender Visibility Day”(of course, of ALL DAYS-the evil elite choose TODAY to do that-no 😡coincidence!),
WE who are Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord JESUS CHRIST-the SAVIOR of the world, and Who has defeated DEATH and HELL(Rev. 20:13-14)!🙌✝️🕊️
He made a way for us back to the ✡️Father-giving ALL of us another opportunity at Eternal Life. 🙏✨🌈
All a person has to do, is:
CALL upone the Name of the LORD to be saved (Joel 2:32; Ps. 124:8; Zeph. 3:9; Rom. 10:13)
REPENT of their sins ( Is. 44:22; 59:2; Matt. 3:2; Acts 2:38; 3:19; Rom. 3:10, 23),
humbly ASK for forgiveness (Mk. 11:25; Luke 17:3-4; 23:34; Ps. 51:10; Col. 3:13),
ACKNOWLEDGE the Lord Jesus as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives (Rom. 6:23; 10:9-10; Jn. 3:16; Acts 16:31, Jn. 14:6)
WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to being His child (Jn. 1:12) and invite the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN you to lead, guide, teach, correct, strengthen, and comfort you (Ezekiel 36:26-27; Jn. 3:3,5,7; Acts 1:8; 2:38; Jn. 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 1:13-14; Titus 3:5; Rom. 5:5; 8:16, 26-27; Gal. 4:6; Mk. 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35; Rev. 2:7; 3:6, 13:9)—so make SURE you HEAR HIS VOICE speaking to you!!
🙏✡️📖✝️🕊️ONE BODY, ONE SPIRIT, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM= ONE GOD and FATHER OF ALL!!! (Eph. 4:4-6)🙌✨🌈
NOW more than ever, a true believer of the MOST HIGH GOD will be tested, because these days are evil (Eph. 5:16), and increasing in evil. (Ps. 14:1; Micah 7:2; Is. 5:20; Ps. 12:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-2; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).
STAND as a true servant and warrior of God (Eph. 6:10-18) WITH THE LORD JESUS, and He WILL rescue and 🙏deliver us from all the evil (Ps. 71:4; 140:1; Jer. 15:21; Matt. 6:13; Gal. 1:4; 2 Thess. 3:2; and the last one I will write out—(2Tim. 4:18): “The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to HIM be the glory FOREVER and EVER—Amen.”
During one of my courses this past year while obtaining my Master’s degree, I had to choose a passage to write a paper on, and I was led by the Spirit to choose Ephesians 4:1-6.
I had to take it apart, line by line, and exegete it, explaining what Paul was truly saying in the original Greek language.
The first three verses seem to tell a message of how we are to grow in Christ, within the calling that the Lord placed on us (myself, it is in the office of a Prophet and to fight against the demonic in Spiritual Warfare), letting those virtues take hold of us, as we “let go” of ourselves more and more, to be conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29-30).
The next three verses, 4-6, is the KEY to allowing the Lord to do is work within each of us—Paul reminding us that there is ONE (εις) Spirit, that is, the HOLY SPIRIT of God, which enters into each “born again” believer of Christ (Jn. 3:3,5,7), once they truly become His child through faith in Him (Jn. 1:12).
We have that ONE HOPE that keeps us moving forward in our faith (vs. 4),
Along with knowing there is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, and ONE BAPTISM—not several thousand splinters of beliefs that they enemy of our souls managed to deceive us to do within the Church Body;
Because there is only ONE GOD and FATHER of us ALL (vs. 6), who is the Father of Spirits (Heb. 12:9), to Whom One Day, we ALL must appear before and give an account of ourselves (2 Cor. 5:10) at the Judgment, and how we used the gifts, talents, skills and abilities that He gave unto each of us.
If we choose to HONOR the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in this short time here on Earth, He faithfully promises to reward us at the End of Days, as long as we serve Him with the right heart and mindset (Col. 3:23-34), and by not losing heart and growing weary (Gal. 6:9), while striving to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 2:3).
Remember, the Lord CALLED us to be HIS servants. Servants OBEY the Master.
The LORD is the Captain of the Host—we are part of His Holy Army, as are the angels that serve Him.
He IS the ONE God and Father of us ALL—both the angelic and the human spirits—Who is OVER all and THROUGH all and-don’t forget this child of God-IN all (vs. 6).
This has been on my heart for some time. When I saw today’s “Daily Verse” on The Catholic Company’s devotional today (of all places!) the Spirit inside of me decided today was the day to speak about a certain issue that I noticed in the Church, specifically, the Roman Catholic Church, and the more specifically, the Latin (Extraordinary) form of the Mass.
Now, before you start raising eyebrows and want to silence me (because 🙄that’s what normally happens), HEAR what the HOLY SPIRIT has to say about this part of worship in HIS Holy Scriptures.
Yes—this is a “Holy Spirit” rant within me, and I am going to let Him say whatever He wants to say, because honestly, the TIME is SHORT, and God’s people are in such a mess spiritually and Scripturally, that only the grace and mercy of God is keeping us ALL (and I do mean ALL!) from eternal perdition at this point (“as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one…”—Rom. 3:10; see also Rom. 3:20,23)
The ONE main problem I have encountered as a Catholic growing up, and now again as a revert, is how most of the the faithful church goers do NOT read their Bibles. Church history teaches that the laity were not taught to read and study the Word of God. Hence they do not know the very verses I just copied from Scripture on the image (notice the man’s outstretched😉hands?😏)I purposely chose.
So certain authoritarian figures of the Church down through the millennia, made decisions on what the celebrant can do, and what the laity can and cannot do, without paying mind to what the LORD GOD said WE can do, in His Word.
This has been the crux of the problem with the hierarchy of the Church almost since the beginning.
“Man’s interpretation”—I’ve 🙄heard that until my ears have almost bled, yet the very ones that say that, know very little themselves what is IN the Holy Scriptures!
It🤔seems like every human being that desired to follow the LORD God, accepted Jesus Christ as (or at least😕should have)BOTH Savior AND Lord of their lives, FORGOT what the Lord Jesus said was to happen when a person truly becomes a child of the Most High, the LIVING God: the Holy Spirit (Jn. 3:3,5,7) comes INTO that person, ONLY because that person made a DECISION (if it was a true and certain one!) to accept the Lord Jesus, and then the Holy Spirit DWELLS IN that person (Jn. 14:16-17; 16:13-14; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Tim. 1:14).
There’s no hard saying here enough to confuse anyone—it’s simple enough to understand that because of Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension, and then sending the Holy Spirit on Pentecost to the disciples (Acts 1:5, 8; 2:1-4), that was appointed time HE was to LIVE IN us! The Lord Jesus not only made it so, but He told us BEFORE He even did it(Jn. 14:16-17; 15:26; 16:7-11).
And if there is one thing that has irritated me more than most other things pertaining to the faithful—that I, even I as a wretched sinner saved by the grace and mercy of God, yet I must “occupy” (Lk 19:13) until the Lord Jesus comes back, and “endure to the end” (Matt. 24:13) in order to be saved and counted as one of the righteous—is that many who profess faith in the Lord Jesus, have forgotten that it is the HOLY SPIRIT Who (notice the capital “W”??) is to LEAD and GUIDE us, teaching us these very things that are in Scripture, bringing them to our MEMORY (Jn. 14:26), so that we would not end up making all these exegetical and hermeneutical errors in Scripture?? But it is like no one even BELIEVES that the Holy Spirit, the THIRD PERSON in the TRIUNE GODHEAD, even DWELLS in them!!
From the top down when it comes to ecclesiastical hierarchy, from whatever “branch” of Christianity one hails from (there never was supposed to be all these splits in the Church!), EVERY person, no matter what title they took for themselves, or someone gave them, WILL be held responsible and accountable for NOT teaching the faithful the REAL hermeneutical and exegetical Holy Spirit-inspired teachings of Holy Scripture!! The LORD God never meant for man to just “figure it out” on his own—THAT is exactly why the Holy Spirit was to LIVE IN each and every true child of the LIVING God who “called upon the name of the Lord to be saved (Rom. 10:13; Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21)”. The problem is, most human spirits, even those who call themselves believers of God, do not HUMBLE themselves enough to even trust the LORD God that He WOULD carry out His Word, and dwell with them 24/7.
If a person who professes to know the LORD God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit, thought about that enough each and every day, that they actually HAVE the LIVING HOLY GOD dwelling INSIDE of them, they (we!) would all most likely watch more what we would think, do, and say. Maybe, just maybe, IF we “had ears to hear” what the Spirit said to us (Rev. 2:11,17; 3:6,13, 22), and actually paid ATTENTION to HIS interpretation of Scripture, instead of what we all “think” it means, we would not have split up thousands of times, and had so many different Christian sects out there in the world, to further confuse those who know not the LORD, and also drive them farther away from ever wanting to have a relationship with Him. 🤨😣😞
So what did this all have to do with my pointing out the earlier verses about “lifting holy hands” and “singing” and “dancing” -especially within the temple of the LORD?
WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD (1 Cor. 3:16-17,19; 2 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 2:21). WE are commanded to PRAISE Him, WORSHIP Him, give Him thanks and LIFT UP our holy hands to Him in both worship and when we pray. The early church, and even those worshippers in the Old Testament did not seem to have issues like we have now—who’s raising their hands in church, who’s folding their hands a certain way, who’s singing louder or who’s NOT singing, who’s dancing in the aisles, who’s praying in a certain ecclesiastical language (Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic, Greek) in church—or not; who’s better than who because they go to a certain church and sing certain songs, whether an organ is playing, or someone plays a guitar, or NO instruments are “allowed” to be played (like some of the Amish, for example), but only singing is permitted, etc. WHO made up all these extra “rules”?? WHERE are they in Scripture?? And WHO (hint-I know it is demonic-a fiery dart🤨) started all the arguments about NOT reading the Bible because we may not be able to understand it all, so it was better for only CERTAIN people of the clergy to read it TO us, and explain it??
THIS is the reason why man’s so-called “Christian witness” to the unsaved and unregenerate looks so hypocritical! Because almost ALL believers in Christ were not trained by their clergymen (who they themselves NO longer were LISTENING!) to HEAR what the Spirit says—so how can anyone who is under the authority of such men of God, ever possibly KNOW such things in Scripture, if they are not taught them? And how is a person of God to GROW and MATURE in their spirit man, ALSO knowing how to fight the very enemy of our souls—the one who desires to see mankind FAIL miserably, and end up in the same eternal fire as they are destined to be in? HOW does one solve all these problems, and many more (individual, marital, family, church, social, global)? One who truly has the Spirit of the LIVING God inside of them would not get all flustered about people lifting up their hands in church to pray or praise God, because they would already know that Scripturally, it is permitted, and God is pleased with such that praise Him, whether they desire to lift their hands in the sanctuary, or not. The important point of it is—they ARE to pray to Him, and also praise and glorify Him!
DO what the WORD OF GOD tells you to do. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. With my WHOLE HEART I seek You; let me not wander from YOUR (not man’s!) commandments! I have stored up YOUR WORD in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD; TEACH me Your statutes! With my lips I declare all the rules of Your mouth…I will meditate on YOUR precepts and fix my eyes on YOUR ways…I will delight in Your statutes; I will NOT forget Your Word”(Psalm 119:9-13, 15-16).
ALLOW the HOLY SPIRIT to be that ONE Spirit that Paul the Apostle spoke of in Ephesians 4:4-6, to lead and guide you. There was only supposed to be ONE BODY of CHRIST—as it is written in Ephesians 4-6, “There is ONE body and ONE Spirit—just as you were called to the ONE Hope that belongs to your call—ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, Who is over all and THROUGH all and IN all.”
But, is He really “IN” all professing Christians? LOOK at their “fruit”—see if it is good, or rotten. That is what the Lord Jesus told us to do, is it not? Are those who are in leadership within the BODY of Christ (no matter what sect they are in, or hail from—they will ALL be held accountable—James 3:1; 1 Peter 4:5; Heb. 13:17). ALL of us will be held accountable for what we learned not only from those leaders, but also ON OUR OWN, and have to stand before the Lord Jesus at the Day of Judgment (Matt. 12:35-37)—none of us will escape that.
If this post has been something that has made you think about where you stand with the Lord Jesus, and whether or not you fully have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you, then spend time reading all these verses I put in this post, including these here: Ps. 143:10; Ez. 37:1; Rom. 8:4; Matt. 4:1; Acts 8:29; 10:19-20; 13:4; 16:7; 20:22; Gal. 4:6; 5:22; 1 John 3:24; Rev. 4:2, 17:3. SPEND TIME in prayer to the LORD God, and ASK (as the Lord Jesus told us to do in Matt. 7:7) the Holy Spirit to TEACH, GUIDE, CORRECT, INSTRUCT, CHASTISE (where necessary), ENCOURAGE, and COMFORT you, each and every waking day henceforth. Ask Him to REMIND you of His Word, by also READING and STUDYING and MEDITATING (Joshua 1:8-9) on it, so that it will embolden and empower you to speak that very Word of God out, when the Spirit INSIDE you, desires for it to be SHARED with others, as you have seen me do (because He leads me to do it!).
I lovingly CHALLENGE all of you who call yourselves children of God, and followers of Christ, to make sure you have the ONE Holy Spirit leading and guiding you daily. Also, have Him point out anything that is NOT to be in you, and ask the Holy Spirit to deliver you from any and all evil spirits that have managed to influence you in whatever way, making you stray from His Word, and causing confusion and contention with it. Allow the Spirit of God to “sanctify” you, “cleansing” you “by the washing with water through the Word”, so that He can “present you to Himself as a glorious Church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless” (Eph. 5:26).
I don’t think the late Benedict XVI fully realized how prophetic his statement was. David certainly did not realize many of his Psalms were prophetic either, at the time when he was writing each of them. But we are actually SEEING this happen before our eyes, whether we are part of a “C” Catholic church or not.
The fact is, anyone who considers themselves a Christian—a true believer IN the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit, and is baptized (Mk. 16:16), is a child of God, and IS part of the One holy “c” catholic (universal) and apostolic Church, regardless of what sect of Christianity you may hail from.
THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US—not just born-again, Bible-believing Catholics like myself who attend the TLM-Traditional Latin Mass-the very Mass that started it all, and yet the hierarchy has been trying to shut us down. Why? Because the TLM reminds them of how it all started, at the Last Supper between Christ and His disciples-that it’s all about HIM, and not the people in the seats. It’s FOR us in the seats, but the attention is wholly on GOD in that service, no one else, just like it was in the OT when the priests were in the tabernacle and even more so, in the Holy of Holies with the Spirit of God. And they hate that.
If you think that this does not or will not affect your church one day—think again. The power and spirit of AntiChrist has been here since the ascension of the Lord Jesus to the Father in Acts 1:8-11. The Apostle John spoke about it in his letters to the Church. He WARNED us that this would happen, and further more was able to explain and expound upon it when the Holy Spirit “raptured” or “snatched” his spirit up in a vision to Heaven in Revelation 4:1-2, and showed him some things that were at that time in his life that had to do with the Church, but the remainder of John’s vision had to do with what was to come in the latter days-the days WE in the 21st century, are living in presently.
You see, the problem with the CHURCH as a whole, is that one branch of the Tree thinks it is better, or holier, or more “Spirit-filled”, etc., than the others. Some branches do not at all accept the others as fellow believers, and would rather even dare to call them “heretics”; for that, the Lord Jesus will judge them harshly. It was Jesus Himself that admonished John in Luke 9:49-50 about this very thing; John and the other disciples saw someone casting out devils in Jesus’ name, and they told him to stop, just because that man was not in their particular group. Jesus said to John, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you, is for you.” But the devils and demons have done an excellent job in getting all of us to see each other as the enemy, INSTEAD of focusing on THEM! May the Lord forgive us for our lack of love toward one another!
NONE of us in any branch of the Church has it “perfect”; as a matter of fact, there wasn’t supposed to BE thousands of splits in the BODY of Christ! As the picture with the Scripture states, we were and ARE to be, ONE BODY, ONE SPIRIT in Christ-ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, with ONE GOD and Father ruling OVER ALL of us (Eph. 4:4-6). But we managed in 2000+ years, to majorly screw that up to the point even the devils and demons themselves scratch their heads wondering how we managed to let it get that bad!
If after reading all of this, you still think that some parts of the whole BODY of Christ are “heretics” or “non-believers” because they do not worship exactly the same way you do, or sing the same songs you do, or preach the same way you do, or speak the Mass/service in the same language that you do, OR they do not seem to be as “holy” as you and your branch of Christianity is, well get ready to be KNOCKED OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE like Saul of Tarsus was (Acts 9:1-6)!
The Lord Jesus did it then, and in order to get HIS BODY of believers back to where it was wayyyy back in the time of Acts, there’s going to be some —actually, MANY of us who just may be going back to the “catacomb” days that soon followed in that first couple of centuries. So He will ALLOW it to happen, in order for us all TO become what He Himself prayed to the Father for in John 17, that we would be “sanctified in the truth, for Your Word is truth” (vs. 17), and that “the glory that You have given me I have given them, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE EVEN AS WE ARE ONE” (vs. 22). Jesus continued in verse 23, “I in them and You in Me, that THEY (that is us!!) may become PERFECTLY ONE, so that the WORLD may know that YOU sent Me and loved them even as you loved Me.”
The prayer in John 17 by the Lord Jesus has YET to fully be answered, because the BODY of Christ has been too busy arguing, fighting and condemning each other, instead of turning toward the Lord Jesus, and LISTENING to the HOLY SPIRIT, allowing HIM to lead and guide us, and grow us into the true BODY of CHRIST we were always meant to be, with ONE TRUE Spirit —not hundreds of evil spirits leading us into judgment and God forbid, even damnation!
PRAY and ask the Holy Spirit to REVEAL to you, how YOU as a believer in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit —the ONE TRUE GODHEAD—should be praying about this. Allow Him to HUMBLE you, and let Him show you what can do about all of this in this ever increasing evil time when the CHURCH BODY is and will be continuing to go through MUCH TRIBULATION in the days to come.
With much HUMILITY, REPENTANCE, and ALL of us in the Body seeking FORGIVNESS of such sins against each other, we may just be able to once again, stand strong (Eph. 6:10-18) against the TRUE enemy of our souls—the evil ones who have since the beginning of the time of God’s creation of humanity, sought out to STEAL, KILL, and DESTROY (Jn. 10:10) us off the face of the Earth, just because the LORD God loves us, and created us in HIS image. Also, because He sent His Son, Jesus, to SAVE us from our sins (Matt. 1:21), IF we were to ACCEPT Him into our lives.
Mark my words, mark Benedict’s words, and most importantly, mark THE WORD OF GOD—because ALL Scripture will be fulfilled, and the Church WILL go through a time of persecution and tribulation this world has yet to see. But it is coming. And sooner than any of us who ARE watching and seeing it happen, would like to admit.
PRAY and SEEK the Lord God, and His Son, and ask Him to humble you and your church body, in order to work with the other true branches of the Body of Christ. Those who ARE truly His, will desire to do HIS will, and work with one another, in love, in humility, in reverent fear of the LORD God and His living Word, which IS His SON, the LORD JESUS (Jn. 1:1-2, 14), Who is and always will be the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (Jn. 14:6) for all that accept Him as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives.
Remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:26-29, and LIVE them out, in love, humility and service to one another, fulfilling the law of Christ, and answering His prayer to the Father:
“For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither JEW nor GREEK, SLAVE nor FREE, there is no MALE and FEMALE, for you are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to Promise.”
May the LORD GOD Almighty have mercy on us, and forgive our sins of highmindedness, and help us once again to become the HUMBLE servants of the Most High He desired all of us in the Body of Christ to be—one HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH. In Jesus’ most precious Name—Amen. ✨✝️📖✨✝️📖✨✝️📖✨✝️📖✨✝️📖 Pope Benedict XVI visionary….(from 1969)
WE ARE HERE ! The prophecy of Fr. Joseph Ratzinger in 1969: “We will soon have reduced priests to the role of social workers and the message of faith reduced to political views. Everything will seem lost, but at the right moment, right in the most dramatic stage of the crisis, the Church will be reborn. She will be smaller, poorer, almost catacombal, but even more holy. For it will no longer be the Church of those who seek to please the world, but the Church of the faithful to God and His eternal law. Rebirth will be the work of a small remains, seemingly insignificant yet indomitable, passed through a purification process. Because that’s how God works. Against evil, a small flock resists. “
