- E senti o espírito
inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! (escreve a irmã Lúcia a 3 de janeiro de 1944, em "O Meu Caminho," I, p. 158 – 160 – Carmelo de Coimbra)

O Valor da Santa Missa , padre João Baptista Reus
O Valor da Santa Missa , padre João Baptista Reus

Eis um breve relato de algumas visões do padre João
Baptista Reus, com relação à maravilhosa realidade sobrenatural da Santa Missa.
Falecido em odor de santidade, teve este sacerdote, a graça de ver o que
acontece de sobrenatural durante a Santa Missa, a qual, por razão, costumava
chamar de "A FESTA NO CÉU".
Ao tempo em que o demônio procura eclipsá-la, vamos
adorar mais e mais a Jesus, em reparação a tantas blasfêmias que contra a
Eucaristia se cometem. Eis o que era dado ver ao Padre Reus:
"Nossa Senhora convida todo o Paraíso para participar da
Santa Missa. Todos os anjos e Santos A seguem em maravilhoso cortejo até o
altar. Os Santos formam um semi-círculo ao redor do sacerdote celebrante e o
acompanham até o altar. Lá chegando, os anjos se colocam atrás dos
Santos.
Outra multidão de anjos cerca a igreja e cobre os fiéis, impedindo a aproximação dos demônios durante a Santa Missa, em honra á Majestade de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.
Outra multidão de anjos cerca a igreja e cobre os fiéis, impedindo a aproximação dos demônios durante a Santa Missa, em honra á Majestade de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.
A Virgem Santíssima está sempre junto do celebrante, do
lado do altar onde é servida a água e o vinho, e onde são lavadas as mãos do
sacerdote. É a própria Mãe de Jesus quem serve o celebrante e lava suas mãos.
Entre Nossa Senhora e o celebrante, é convidado o Santo do dia.
Todas as almas do Purgatório também são convidadas pela Virgem Maria e permanecem durante toda a Santa Missa aos pés do altar, entre o celebrante e os fiéis. Conta o Padre Reus que ele via as almas do Purgatório em verdadeira festa e com grande esperança de libertação. Padre Reus via uma chuva caindo sobre o Purgatório durante toda a Santa Missa.

No momento sublime da Consagração, quando estas almas
veem Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo em Corpo, Sangue, Alma e Divindade, sentem um
desejo incontrolável de sair daquelas chamas e se atirarem em Seus braços, mas
não conseguem, por não estarem ainda purificadas.
Após a Consagração, acontece a libertação do Purgatório, das almas que já atingiram a purificação. Nossa Senhora estende a mão a cada uma delas e diz: "Minha filha, pode subir ".
Os anjos saúdam as almas libertadas do Purgatório, abraçando-as. É um momento de imensa alegria e beleza. Em seguida, estas almas, resplandecendo com a beleza indescritível, adornadas como noivas, como anjos, são introduzidas triunfalmente no Paraíso, por uma multidão de anjos, ao som de música e cantos celestiais.

aos teus pecados e diminuí-las mais ou menos consoante a teu
fervor.
- Assistindo com devoção à Missa, prestas a maior das
honra à Santa Humanidade de Jesus Cristo.
- Ele se compadece de muitas das tuas negligências e
omissões.
- Perdoa-te os
pecados veniais não confessados, dos quais porém te
arrependestes.
- Diminui o império de Satanás sobre
ti.
- Sufraga as almas do Purgatório da melhor maneira
possível.
- Uma só Missa a que houveres assistido em vida,
ser-te-á mais salutar que muitas a que outros assistirão por ti depois da tua
morte, pois pela Missa participas da Paixão, Morte e Ressurreição de
Cristo.
- A Missa preserva-te de muitos perigos e desgraças que te abateriam.

Senhor confirma no Céu. És abençoado em seus negócios e interesses
pessoais.

teu Purgatório."http://osegredodorosario.blogspot.com/2011/07/o-valor-da-santa-missa.html
Monsignor Esseff: Nostro Signore e la Madonna hanno cominciato a parlare di nuovo dei disordini in Medio Oriente. Credo che queste parole debbano essere pubblicate immediatamente.
23 agosto 2013
Introduzione
Nostro Signore e la Madonna hanno cominciato a parlare di
nuovo dei disordini in Medio Oriente. Credo che queste parole debbano essere
pubblicate immediatamente.
Monsignor Esseff
Gesù
Devo parlare in modo chiaro e rapido. La situazione è più che
urgente. I fuochi della Siria divamperanno all’esterno. Non possono più essere
contenuti. Il leader è troppo determinato. Egli non si arrenderà mai o non
accetterà alcun compromesso, anche se egli è circondato dai suoi nemici.
Inoltre, egli ha a disposizione grandi armi che ha sia accumulato, sia riceve
costantemente dall’esterno. In terzo luogo, la sua opposizione non è una forza
unita. Essi provengono da diversi gruppi con obiettivi molto diversi. I loro
cuori non sono uniti, né tutti cercano la stessa
soluzione.
La leadership siriana resta al potere anche se molti pensavano
che sarebbe crollata come gli altri leader. Ha approfondito le sue fondamenta e
attratto intorno ad essa coloro che saranno fedeli, anche se solo per paura
della loro stessa vita. Questa è la situazione oggi. Che cosa porterà il domani?
È per questo che parlo.
Molti vedono la Siria come una minaccia contenuta. Essi lamentano
che non vi era alcuna concertazione presa all’inizio. Tuttavia, io non sto
parlando del passato. È il futuro che detiene il maggior fuoco. La distruzione
in Siria strariperà ed inizierà ad andare oltre i suoi confini. I fuochi si
nutriranno di altre terre ed altri popoli. Anche in questo caso, a causa della
confusione tra i leader mondiali, diventerà troppo tardi per reagire. Più
persone saranno sacrificate a questo male demoniaco.
Anche questa fase non sarà la fine, ma solo una preparazione per
la distruzione in quella zona che nessuno può immaginare. Questa nuova
distruzione non arriverà subito, ma inevitabilmente
accadrà.
Il presidente Obama è sia confuso che criticato. Questo è
pericoloso. Se agisce precipitosamente per superare le critiche, egli causerà il
verificarsi di una maggiore distruzione.
26 agosto 2013
Gesù
Cosa posso dire circa la Siria? Gli eventi sono iniziati e
porteranno ad altri eventi più distruttivi e, quindi, ad ancora più distruzione.
La miccia è stata accesa ed è ora sta bruciando. La Siria non è il luogo della
grande esplosione futura o della più grande distruzione, ma la Siria è il
precursore di questi eventi. La Siria, anche con tutte le sue turbolenze, non
possiede le grandi armi od i poteri distruttivi posseduti da altre
nazioni.
Tuttavia, il suo ruolo di precursore dovrebbe avvisare tutti che
il tempo prima che la distruzione sia su vasta scala è molto breve - molto più
vicino di quanto ci si aspetta. Altri leader vedono che la Siria è sopravvissuta
utilizzando armi che tutto il mondo ha vietato. In questo senso, egli è il
precursore di eventi successivi.
Israele sa che non è solo e non può fermamente contare su
nessuno. Esso conosce anche il precario stato della propria sopravvivenza. Esso
deve tracciare il proprio corso e le proprie azioni. Non può aspettare o
trattenersi. Sa che subirà attacchi e guarda solo come ridurre al minimo la
distruzione.
America, oh America, avresti dovuto essere la fonte della pace
nel mondo, ma sei stata così indebolita. Ti sei smarrita. Tu non hai né la forza
né la volontà di svolgere i compiti che avevo in serbo per
te.
27 agosto 2013
Maria
Tengo Israele al centro del mio cuore. Sono nata in Israele ed i
grandi eventi della redenzione del mondo si sono svolti
lì.
L’anello di protezione attorno a Israele viene strappato via e
sostituito da nemici. La più importante protezione di Israele è la Giordania.
Voglio che preghiate per la stabilità della Giordania. Quanto più a lungo la
Giordania resta stabile, quanto più sicuro è Israele e quanto più il calendario
demoniaco è respinto indietro.
Se la Giordania resta stabile, Israele sarà in grado di
pianificare la propria difesa, perché tutto non crollerà improvvisamente, senza
lasciare il tempo per l’auto-difesa. Il confine della Giordania con Israele è
molto importante. Se la Giordania crolla e cade sotto il controllo terrorista,
allora il confine di Israele può essere facilmente perforato. Gli attacchi dal
Libano e dalla Striscia di Gaza non avrebbero mai il potere che un attacco dal
territorio giordano avrebbe. La Giordania è la chiave per la sopravvivenza di
Israele.
2 settembre 2013
Gesù
La Siria destabilizzerà il Medio Oriente, ma non sarà il punto
focale della seconda fase di distruzione. Fino
ad ora, con le rivolte civili, la distruzione è stata interna a ciascuna
nazione.
Il secondo passo è la guerra tra le nazioni. In
questa guerra, altri paesi saranno inevitabilmente attratti dentro. Anche se
apparentemente piccolo, nessun potere sarà presente per evitare questo
conflitto.
La terza fase è l’annientamento di alcune nazioni come
profetizzato a Fatima. Questo
avrà orribili conseguenze inimmaginabili per il mondo intero, che non sarà più
lo stesso.
Per 2000 anni, Satana ha pianificato questo annientamento come il
suo modo di reclamare indietro il mondo che Io ho riscattato col mio Sangue.
Io non voglio questo
annientamento. È
per questo che mia madre ha parlato così spesso e per questo ora sto parlando in
modo così chiaro. Al
mondo deve essere detto che l’annientamento delle nazioni non è lontano.
Se
la Chiesa non vuole rivelare le verità contenute nel segreto di Fatima, quindi
userò questa piccola voce per farlo.
4 settembre 2013
Gesù
I fuochi della Siria contengono un male inimmaginabili che può
facilmente erompere per causare una maggiore distruzione. Ciò racchiuderà il Medio
Oriente ed oltre.
Il presidente Obama ha messo il dito sul grilletto e si appresta
a lanciare missili in questo fuoco. Non si rende conto del danno incalcolabile,
la grande perdita di vite umane e la rappresaglia che attende una tale azione.
Come è arrivato a questa stolta posizione? Satana lo ha portato a questo punto. Se
lui farà questo passo, getterà l’America in un fuoco che non sarà estinto. Che
terribile, terribile errore.
Il Santo Padre ha preso la rotta corretta, chiedendo la preghiera
e il digiuno. Da questo
arriverà un’ondata di pace che sorprenderà molti. Nei prossimi giorni, la
guerra e la pace si scontreranno. Pregate e digiunate per la
pace.

Monsignor Esseff : Our Lord and Our Lady have begun to speak again about the Middle East unrest. I believe that these words need to be published immediately.
1. Introduction
Aug 23rd, 2013
Introduction
Our Lord and Our Lady have begun to speak again about the Middle East unrest. I believe that these words need to be published immediately.
Monsignor Esseff
Jesus
I must speak clearly and quickly. The situation is more than urgent. The fires of Syria will spill over. They can no longer be contained. The leader is too determined. He will never surrender or agree to any compromise, even if he is surrounded by his enemies. Also, he has at his disposal great weapons that he has both stored up and that he constantly receives from outside. Third, his opposition is not a united force. They come from various groups with quite differing goals. Their hearts are not one, nor do all seek the same solution.
Syria’s leadership remains in power even though many thought that he would topple like the other leaders. He has deepened his foundation and drawn around him those who will be faithful, even if just for fear of their own lives. This is the situation today. What will tomorrow bring? That is why I speak.
Many see Syria as a contained threat. They lament that there was no concerted action taken in the beginning. However, I am not speaking about the past. It is the future that holds the greatest fire. The destruction in Syria will spill over and will begin to go beyond its borders. The fires will feed on other lands and other peoples. Again, because of the confusion among world leaders, it will become too late to respond. More people will be sacrificed to this demonic evil.
Even this phase will not be the end, but only a preparation for destruction in that area that no one can imagine. This new destruction will not come immediately but will inevitably happen.
President Obama is both confused and criticized. This is dangerous. If he acts precipitously to overcome the criticism, he will cause greater destruction to occur.
2. The Spirit’s Anointing
Aug 23rd, 2013
Mary
The heavenly Father had given Jesus definite tasks to accomplish. He had to preach, to heal , and to raise from the dead. He also had to be obedient even to his death on the cross. To fulfill the Father’s will Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit at his Baptism. Even before that, Jesus was led by the Spirit. That is why he knew to remain in the temple (his Father’s house) when he was 12 years old.
Jesus was quite aware of the Spirit’s anointing. He told those in the Nazareth synagogue, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor”.
He also knew that the Father would send the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth upon the disciples. He prophesied, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes down upon you”. He commanded the disciples not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father.
The Father had his task of creation. Jesus had his task of redemption. The Spirit has his task of sanctification. He fulfills this task every day but he needs the cooperation of the baptized to fulfill it.
3. Changed Lives
Aug 24th, 2013
Mary
The Holy Spirit brought about many miracles among the early disciples but his greatest manifestation was their changed lives. A great holiness came upon the Early Church. Each person was a new creation. The former sins were put away and goodness filled them.
They rejoiced to be with each other, to share in the prayers, the Eucharist and their common life. When people came into Jesus’ presence, they knew that they had to change their life. If not, they departed (as Judas at the Last Supper). So it was with the early community, formed by the Spirit of Jesus. The Church’s fervor called the person to goodness. The Holy Spirit used this community as his instrument in changing lives. This was the secret of the Church’s tremendous growth.
4. The Believing Community
Aug 25th, 2013
Do not be surprised at all that I reveal about my spouse, the Spirit of Jesus, because so much has been hidden for so long. Today, I will speak of the community of believers which he formed by the powers of Baptism. Much is lacking in the Church because the powers of Baptism are unknown. They are unknown because there exists no true community of believers who manifest these powers and can communicate them to the newly baptized.
Recall the scenes of the Early Church. Because of a special joy, all the believers wanted to come together. The Spirit joined their hearts in the gift of religious experiences. They knew that the Spirit was in their midst. His signs and wonders manifested him. He became present to each believer by his living flame. This is what is missing today, a community which daily experiences the fire of the Spirit and communicates this fire to new believers.
2. Syria – The Precursor
Aug 26th, 2013
Jesus
What will I say about Syria? The events have begun and will lead to other more destructive events and., then, to even more destruction. The fuse has been lit and is now burning. Syria is not the place of the great future explosion or of the greatest destruction, but Syria is the precursor of these events. Syria, even with all of its turmoil does not possess the great weapons or the destructive powers possessed by other nations.
However, its role as precursor should alert everyone that the time before wide scale destruction is very short – far closer than anyone expects. Other leaders see that Syria has survived by using weapons that all the world has banned. In this sense, he is the precursor of later events.
Israel knows that it is alone and cannot firmly count on anyone. It also knows the precarious state of its own survival. It must plot its own course and its own actions. It cannot wait or hold back. It knows that it will suffer attacks and looks only to minimize the destruction.
America, oh America, you were to be the source of world peace but you have been so weakened. You have gone astray. You have neither the might nor the will to fulfill the tasks I had in store for you
5. The Mighty Rivers
Aug 26th, 2013
Mary
The Holy Spirit comes as a mighty river. The soul finds itself filled with a great joy. Tears flow. Emotions pour out. The soul feels like some divine fire pierced its heart. The soul has no doubt. No one needs to explain the Holy Spirit who now works so powerfully within.
At other times, the Spirit comes like a quiet stream. Again, the soul cannot doubt. Peace, a deep and lasting peace, covers the soul. It believes and hopes in God with no effort at all. Some divine power surrounds the soul All is different. Again, the soul knows that it abides in God’s loving hands.
There are two secrets to this great release of the Holy Spirit. First, the person must know and seek these powers. The Spirit wants to flow like a mighty river. Second, the community must believe in these powers. How can the person know unless the community believes and manifests the joy and fervor of the Spirit’s presence? I want the Church to become communities of the Holy Spirit. Anything else will completely fail. The Spirit will bring about a victory march. Without his powers, all will be defeat. This call is very deep. A superficial response loses everything.
3. Importance of Jordan
Aug 27th, 2013
Mary
I hold Israel at the center of my heart. I was born in Israel and the great events of the world’s redemption took place there.
The ring of protection around Israel is being stripped away and replaced by enemies. Israel’s most important protection is Jordan. I want you to pray for the stability of Jordan. The longer that Jordan remains stable, the safer is Israel and the more the demonic timetable is pushed back.
If Jordan remains stable, Israel will be able to plan its own defense because everything will not suddenly collapse, leaving no time for self-defense. Jordan’s border with Israel is very important. If Jordan collapses and falls under terrorist control, then Israel’s border can easily be pierced. Attacks from Lebanon and the Gaza Strip will never have the power which an attack from Jordanian territory would have. Jordan is key to Israel’s survival.
7. The Spirit Forms Community
Aug 28th, 2013
Mary
The Early Church was a community filled with great signs and wonders, the works performed by the Holy Spirit through the believers. You cannot understand these phenomena without grasping the intense life of that beginning community. Today, even Catholics do not enjoy a community. After mass, they often return to their individual lives.
In the beginning, the Spirit’s fire led the people to fuse their lives. They became a family, joined as brothers and sisters. They praised God together. They shared their stories and they gathered others. In this intense sharing, they experienced the Spirit’s powers. He healed. He prophesied. He raised up teachers and leaders. Within the community, all of these powers were expected. The people had intense faith. If they withdrew from the community, they returned to a world without faith, and they lost these manifestations. Experiencing the Spirit’s powers depends on the closeness and fervor of the community of believers.
The Spirit wants to restore these powers. Catholics must understand and be willing to join regularly with others. This is the secret of true Church renewal.
8. Gifts of Service
Aug 29th, 2013
Mary
The Holy Spirit wants to pour out these gifts of service but so many do not even know what they are or how they are received. St. Paul writes, “I do not want you to be in ignorance of the spiritual gifts” (1Cor.12:1). This ignorance is widespread and believers do not come together. How can a person use a gift of service when there is nobody to serve? These gifts flourish when believers know about them and gather in the Spirit.
At Medjugorje, I spoke often of these little groups of prayer, but who has heard my plea? So, I make it again. The renewal of the Church depends totally upon the Holy Spirit. He wants to be known and to show forth his power. He will pour out these powerful gifts if believers come together.
Satan wants to isolate the believer and to immerse him in the world. The Spirit calls the believer out of the world so he can join with others. Today, so many do not even go to mass. How can the Spirit give them power to serve? Those that go to mass, are in ignorance of the spiritual gifts and do not gather with other believers in prayer.
Is it any wonder why the Church is weak? I am trying to explain the secrets of the Spirit’s workings. Just begin. Study the books. Come together. I will be in your midst to lead you. Do it today. Remember, the time is very, very short.
9. Importance of Prophesy
Aug 30th, 2013
Today, I will speak of the importance to the Church of prophetic visions and words. Later, I will teach about the use of prophesy. Look again at the Early Church. How did this great missionary enterprise reach the end of the known world in just a few decades? Was this the work of human genius? Not at all. Read the scriptures. All was guided by the revealing gifts of the Spirit.
By a prophetic vision, Peter knew to go to the home of Cornelius, the Gentile (Acts C10). By prophetic words spoken at Antioch, Barnabas and Saul were sent forth on the great missionary journey (Acts C13). On the second journey, the Holy “Spirit did not allow Paul to preach in Asia. Instead, a prophetic vision called him to Macedonia in Europe (Acts C16). Later, when Paul was to return to Jerusalem, he already knew clearly that he would be taken prisoner because of a prophecy given by Agabus (Acts 21:10-11_. While in custody, the Lord himself told Paul, that, having preached the gospel in Jerusalem, he would also bear witness in Rome (Acts 23:11).
Where would the Early Church have been without the Holy Spirit’s prophetic revelations? The community would be floundering and subjected to every kind of failure. Such is the plight of today’s Church because the prophetic word is not spoken and the prophetic vision is not received.
Prophecy is not an extraordinary experience like God speaking from the mountaintop amid thunder and lightning. Prophecy is a quiet voice, heard within the heart.
At times the Spirit reveals the Father’s will for the soul. These words are just for the person. Sometimes, the words are for another person, a group, for the Church, or even for the whole world (such as these locutions). This is what I will explain.
10. The Importance of Prophesy
Aug 31st, 2013
Mary
Prophecy is very important because it is the word of God. Paul writes, “Strive eagerly for the spiritual gifts, above all that you may prophesy” (1Cor.14:1) because “whoever prophesies builds up the Church (V4).
The Spirit has already given God’s word in the Bible and in the authoritative teachings of the Church. True prophesy never contradicts that word but applies the word and explains God’s plan in individual circumstance.
How the Holy Spirit wants to speak out! Through the gift of prophesy he guides the individual speaks to congregations and even leads the entire Church. To set aside this spiritual gift is to walk in a useless darkness. I ask “Can human solutions save the Church? Can the thoughts of man, even the thoughts of bishops and popes adequately guide the Church? God’s plans are hidden and he reveals the great mysteries through the prophets.
Oh, when will the spiritual gift of prophecy come forth to illumine the Church? When will those who guide my Church accept the prophetic word? Even when I speak in authorized apparitions, the words are set aside.
The future of the Church will be filled with a great light and power resulting from the Spirit pouring out his prophetic word. As Peter said, “Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.” (Acts 2:17). Yes, all from the greatest to the least will speak God’s word and new life will flow out.
11. Evangelizing and Miracles
Sep 1st, 2013
The evangelizing success of the Early Church depended much on signs and wonders. When Peter healed the lame man in the temple, 5000 came to believe (Acts 4:4). When Paul healed Publius at Malta, the whole island believed (and remains Catholic until today). When Philip went to Samaria, he drove out many demons. Paralyzed and crippled people were cured. Great joy, came upon the city and many were baptized. (Acts C7).
These events parallel the ministry of Jesus. He preached that the kingdom of God was present. His miracles showed the people that his preaching was true. Jesus told his disciples to proclaim the gospel to every creature and to baptize those who believed. He promised that signs would accompany the preaching, that they would drive out demons and heal the sick by laying hands. Evangelization and miracles should go together.
Widespread evangelizing without widespread signs and wonders is impossible. Many try to preach but (as Paul says) are ignorant of these spiritual gifts of healing, raising from the dead and driving out demons. Their harvest is bound to be small.
4. Annihilation of the Nations
Sep 2nd, 2013
Syria will destabilize the Middle East but it will not be the focal point of the second stage of destruction. Until now, with the civil uprisings, the destruction has been internal to each nation.
The second step is war between nations. In this war, other countries will inevitably be drawn in. Although seemingly small, no power will be present to prevent this conflict.
The third stage is the annihilation of some nations as prophesied at Fatima. This will have horrible, unimaginable consequences for the whole world, which will never be the same.
For 2000 years, Satan has planned this annihilation as his way of claiming back the world that I redeemed by my blood. I do not want this annihilation. That is why my mother has spoken so often and why I am now speaking so clearly. The world must be told that the annihilation of the nations is not far away. If the Church does not want to reveal the truths contained in the Fatima secret, then I will use this little voice to do so.
12. Discernment of Spirits
Sep 2nd, 2013
Mary
Discernment of Spirits is a very important spiritual gift which is also unknown to most. There are three “spirits” – the Holy Spirit, the human spirit and the diabolical spirit. The Holy Spirit guided Jesus to stay behind in the temple. When I asked, “Son, why have you done this to us?” He replied, “Should I not be in my Father’s house?” The Holy Spirit told him to stay in the temple.
When Peter refused to believe that Jesus would suffer and when he refused to allow Jesus to wash his feet, until he was corrected, Peter was acting in the human spirit.
When Judas betrayed Jesus and left the Last Supper, he was acting under the demonic spirit which controlled his heart. “It was night”.
The human spirit stands between God’s Spirit (who invites it to goodness) and the demonic spirit that uses every opportunity to enslave it to darkness. If people do not pray, their human spirit, with all its passion, ambitions and weaknesses will inevitably make false steps and walk in diabolical darkness. How much the soul needs to discern which spirit is guiding its decisions.
13. Discerning the Evil One
Sep 3rd, 2013
Mary
The spirit of evil is most effective when he is hidden and people do not realize that he is at work. The gift of discernment unmasks him, reveals him, and shows the person how to be freed from his power.
He is the spirit of lies, confusion and division. He is the spirit of wars, suffering and destruction. He is the spirit of lust. (Oh, how this spirit has gone forth upon the world.) He is the spirit of death in abortions and of hatred in relationships. He is the spirit of greed that drives a person to seek avariciously and to forget his neighbor. He is the spirit of infidelity that leads a spouse into illicit relationships. He is the spirit of addictions that claims alcoholics and those who use drugs.
He is the spirit of division that divides and destroys families; the spirit of hatred and revenge which resists God’s gift of forgiving others. He is the spirit of rebellion when people say, “I will not serve God.” How extensive is his influence. Because he is not seen, he goes undetected.
He is everywhere, but must act only on the surface until he discovers some door into the human heart. Then he enters, until he is revealed and renounced.
