I remember reading somewhere online a few years back that it would start with civil unrest in France, then Italy & spread throughout Europe. I also remember reading that Russia would move into Europe in the month of July when no-one was expecting it. I still think 2017 is very significant for something big but we are only 2 years away now. We need to pray, pray, pray!!
I will tell you another thing I noticed when I was away camping and that was the tender care of God in the small practical problems of the everyday. When you are out in the middle of nowhere you have to take time and trouble to think things through, otherwise, well, it will all just end in tears. I found, right from the beginning I was posed with problem after problem and because as I mentioned I am head up in the sky sort of person I just had to go to God in prayer to help me out with these. A for instance at the gate of the campsite there was a large padlock which someone had broken. So I could not even get into the site. I found myself having to pray otherwise my stay would stop even before it began. I prayed and found it opening right away. When I got unpacked I found my battery was a goner , I prayed and came up with power through connecting to my power battery, The dogs got lost in the forest one night for an hour , I prayed to St Michael and they turned up exhausted but unharmed. But do you see the pattern? I was forced to rely on God and not on myself. But what's more He was there all the time right beside me and His angels too. So that was another great lesson I learnt. As I say it is not all doom and gloom. Psalm 91:11 My Refuge and My Fortress …10No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. 11For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. 12They will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.…
Padraig, my parish priest has great devotion to St Teresa of Avila and says that quotation often in his sermons.
Thank you Padraig, for being watchman for us, and passing along what you received in prayer. It is surprising and it is not at the same time. So, it sounds like this forum might not be available as you thought for after the warning, when it was to be a resource for all the people who will have questions. It is up to our lady of course, but for now it is a great place of spiritual preparation, and I would be lost without it! I will take it to prayer as for what physical preps I need to make. Lately in prayer, like the last 3 weeks, I have not felt the close presence of Jesus or Mary, even in adoration. And I have been so wiped out tired this month of December and it continues into January that praying has been difficult. I am just burned out I think and have been dealing with a lot of stressful issues lately. Lord help me step it up and may I hear the guidance of our lady and feel her comforting presence. Hopefully tonight in adoration this happens. Anyway, the end game is here. I pray for all of us here. May we all pass the test! We've been preparing for this final battle for sometime. May God bless us and be with us!
yes, like you I must be an active watchman for 1 person for sure, and maybe 2. I must pray on it. I've hinted at things to come, but now it is more evident and time is getting shorter so I must be much more bold and specific as to what events may be happening. Not looking forward to it, but this is my role and now is the time.
hmmm .... http://www.cnbc.com/id/102330338 one comment says ~ let me guess " government needs to oversee internet for our safety"
I do not believe in coincidences. This is either as Charlie likes to say God making our leaders look more incompetent by the day, or this is a big setup laying the groundwork for them to institute internet controls. Don't forget, this is the same bunch of Keystone Kops who tried to further their agenda to disarm Americans through the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal: http://freebeacon.com/national-secu...om-twitter-feed-as-obama-talks-cybersecurity/
It seems incredible. What next? I am not sure but there seems to be a large scale data breach as well.
September 2nd 2011 Everything around you is passing and everything is falling apart, only the glory of God remains.
It's like living in a sci fi film. What next? Please God they having any access to buttons they shouldn't be pushing. A nuclear active ISIS , that's all we need.
Hi Lifesong, I too am totally alone among my loved ones, who range from cradle catholics, to challenged catholics; (mostly by me), to lapsed catholics and lukewarm ones who think I'm off the wall. I have felt overwhelmed a lot lately, the only way I have found to cope with it all is to entrust them to Heaven using Charlie Johnson's Miraculous Trust prayer. I have much more peace since, and I turn my eyes to Our Lady and Jesus now instead of getting frustrated by their lack of belief. I hope this helps you in some way. BC
Sorry to add to the depressing news, but I came across this article and not only the comments in the story, but comments underneath from others (I'm not familiar with magazine, but appears based upon readership to be extremely liberal) are sad. I couldn't help but think of Pope Emeritus Benedicts prophesy about a smaller Church. Ugh.. http://ncronline.org/blogs/parish-diary/attempt-answer-question-where-are-young-adults
Anyway it seems some people agree with this thread's poor prognosis for the world, this was published on Reuters on January 10th this year: "Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warns that tensions between Russia and European powers over the Ukraine crisis could result in a major conflict or even nuclear war. “A war of this kind would unavoidably lead to a nuclear war,” the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize winner told Der Spiegel news magazine, according to comments released on Friday. “We won’t survive the coming years if someone loses their nerve in this overheated situation,” added Gorbachev, 83. “This is not something I’m saying thoughtlessly. I am extremely concerned.”" ( http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=109592 ) I find this thread very alarming and I agree the current setup will not last. The West is now a powder keg, because, for example: a) We have some countries who are living in cloud cuckoo land as regards their social expenditure vis a vis their tax take. Ireland I think is a very good example of this. In many respects the state pays some people very well, and many social security benefits are far far better than in the UK for example, but yet our private sector is really still collapsed and all this expenditure is just funded by vast loans. This bubble has to burst at some point - possibly including a widespread collapse of currencies - and when it does it might create a big social reaction. b) Especially with respect to the Muslim communities - particularly in France, Britain and Germany - but actually in reference to all the very large recent immigrant communities in all countries we have big problems being stored up. I appreciate very well that we have, all of us, a Christian duty to respect everybody no matter what religion or ethnic background they are from but that is not to ignore, as is being ignored, the lesson from history that mixing up racial backgrounds so suddenly and violently, as in modern European immigration, pretty inevitably leads to race riots/sectarian or racial tensions in the long run. When you look at the history of Yugoslavia, the breakup of the USSR to an extent, Beirut, etc etc its pretty obvious that when society comes under real pressure i.e. say an external war or a huge financial collapse, then it will breakup on the fault lines created by these, currently hidden or suppressed, racial differences. c) I think boxing Russia into a corner, a country with a huge and well prepared nuclear arsenal, is asking for grave trouble in the short term. d) We have both externally to, and internally in, the West large numbers of disolusioned and yet committed Muslims who seem poised to explode into some kind of jihad thing in time. e) We have awesomely corrupt governments over us now - an insight into this can be seen I think in recent revelations in the UK - who are quite happy to start wars if it consolidates their hold over the people - which it will, for example via an excuse to launch censorship on the net - or further their drive to a world government. That drive would be helped because, for example, if Russia was to line up against the EU and the US it will consolidate the sense of nationhood in the EU, and destroy national sovereignty and with it democracy, and drive those two entities together which would neatly consolidate the unity pact they are working on currently and which is to form the nucleus of their New World Order. So yes I think going forward something bad is going to happen, for sure, but I have no idea of the timescale and, speaking for myself, I don't know what can be done to prepare against it? For example you cannot hope to elude government surveillance in modern times by moving out of your house and going to some refuge say? I could be wrong though...
as much as i really don't like the thought, i would rather deal with natural catastrophes then man made nuclear ones .. Lord God , please no nukes...
The most important thing is clinging to the Blessed Mother, Jesus, and the Holy Will of God. Nothing happens outside of God's will. In order to renew the face of the earth, these things must come. Luisa Piccarreta wrote that Jesus told her that evil would one day be allowed to exhaust itself. I think we are entering these times. Fear is the tool of the enemy, and trust in Jesus is the antidote to fear. When it comes to our loved ones who are currently far from God, or for the safety of our families during this storm, it helps me to remember that my concerns are His concerns, and He loves them more than I ever could.
Interesting coincidence or perhaps providence that I came upon this blog which was linked to by a blog I frequent. It actually quotes from what Benedict said about the Church a long time ago. He truly was quite prophetic. http://vultuschristi.org/index.php/2015/01/the-real-crisis-has-scarcely-begun/
To often I hear, "if what you say is true how come the popes are not saying anything"? Well they do, but you have to dig to find it, cause the liberal media and the 'church of nice' will not be sounding the horn of God's justice.....unless it is social justice.
I live in a city of 500,000 people. We recently had to claim bankruptcy (another in a long line of crosses) and this means we have no way to prepare. We are stuck here, 7 people in a bungalow, with not enough money really to afford a preparation for this amount of people. I also know that I am right where God wants me to be and that He will be with me, even if I must die.
Sparrow, I ask God to help/guide you and your Family. If what I read here/other sites, see in World News and what I have come to believe is true ... and coming we will all be bankrupt soon :-( So... we must depend on God and those he will send to us in our need and trust him as he guides us to tend to the needs of others. This Storm is all about getting back to God and Faith Filled Community ... I believe! GOD BLESS & HELP US ............... EVERYONE!
