****At the bottom of this contemplation is the message allegedly received from GOD the Father. The Indescribable Mercy of God the Father - 14th Personnel Contemplation Why is God the Father so tolerant and patient with us? I have been asking myself this question for the past two months. I have received many emails asking the same question as all of us view the evil taking place all over the world. As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said, “Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus said to them in reply, “See that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many. You will hear of wars* and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place. All these are the beginning of the labor pains. Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name. And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. Mathew 24: 1–13 Pray that your flight not be in winter or on the Sabbath, for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be. And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened. Mathew 24: 20 – 22 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Mathew 24: 29 The rampant and widespread evil we are witnessing and experiencing today has caused some believers to become overwhelmed, frustrated and angry. Unthinkable and truly horrifying it is to watch thousands of Christian children and families being massacred, beheaded, burned alive, and even the complete genocide of entire villages. And let’s not forget the ever-present threat of terrorist attacks all over the world and the powder keg of conflicts far and wide, as well as the sins of abortion, sins of the flesh in all of their lurid forms, pride, wild abuse of power, hate, anger, violence, not to mention the cultural norm now of marginalizing and rejecting God and His principles (and the attempts now to rebuff and smear those who adhere to the faith). On the other end of the spectrum, some have expressed feeling as if God is specifically punishing them. "Why the ongoing trials?" "Why are my children away from the faith?" "Why did I lose money in the Stock Market?" Remember, GOD DID NOT CREATE OUR DYSFUNCTIONAL CULTURE AND THE STOCK MARKET … MAN DID. Unfortunately, our godless culture has caused the chastisement that is coming upon mankind. Even those of us who try our best to stay away from its sick grip will not be spared. I have spoken to many wealthy and well-meaning folks; some are building “bunkers” deep underground to protect themselves and their families. They are seeking their own solutions, but as they said of the Titanic (“even God cannot sink this ship”) and it sank, so those thinking to escape the coming hardships do not realize that they cannot apply human solutions to a spiritual problem. Let us remember the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. Satan clearly knows that his time is running out; he is mounting a colossal effort to destroy our souls and our commitment to God. The gates of Hell have been opened, and we each need to urgently turn to God. Our Lady and the Holy Spirit await your call for help. For we must all appear* before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil. (2 Cor. 5:10). When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said, “Truly, the LORD is in this place and I did not know it!” (Gen. 28:16) LORD, you have probed me, you know me: you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. (Ps. 139:1–2, 4) Reminder of The Warnings and Dangers given to us: But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them. For some of these slip into homes and make captives of women weighed down by sins, led by various desires, always trying to learn but never able to reach a knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17 "If mankind does not repent, and the sins of the human race continue to increase in number and severity, the Eternal Father will inflict a terrible chastisement on all humanity. It will be a tribulation worse than the deluge of Noah, such as no one has ever seen before. Fire shall fall from heaven that will annihilate a great part of humanity. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that ... the only consolation that will remain will be prayer and the SIGN left by Jesus Christ himself." (The VATICAN APPROVED this prophetic message given at AKITA JAPAN in 1973.)
The Answers and Solutions: Seeing God the Father God the Father is pure love and the Holy Trinity is our Family and our salvation. God the Father is the perfect example for all earthly fathers. You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8 But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son,* but the Father alone. Matthew 24: 36 The above scripture has puzzled me since the first time I heard it. How is it possible that the Holy Trinity is three Divine persons and one God? Wherever the Son is, the Father and the Holy Spirit are, and wherever Jesus is, the Father and the Holy Spirit are, and wherever the Holy Spirit is, Jesus and God the Father are. Why would Jesus not know the “hour”? In the early beginning of my spiritual journey, I asked Our Lady the above question. Our Lady was teaching me in areas where I needed clarification or that were crucial for me to have a clear understanding. She gently told me we are called to believe in faith the many mysteries in Holy Scripture. She told me that it was by faith in God and those mysteries that we are to discern and believe in faith those issues that are humanly beyond comprehension. Then, I asked Her if it was possible to see God the Father, and in an instant, I was standing before the magnificent throne of God the Father. His throne is beyond words or descriptions as I was in the presence of pure love and holiness. Yet, He was not what I expected. I imagined Him as we see Him in paintings and images---an ancient, rather delicate, primeval man with a gray beard. On the contrary, He was highly muscular and had strong, robust arms, with His veins showing and slight hair on arms and chest. He looked like a powerful warrior, and dressed almost like a Viking or Roman General. He was sitting on a massive throne made out of pure platinum; the throne was square and solid. As I stood in front of Him, He was almost eighteen stories high, wearing sandals and a brilliant white toga with a heavy-duty leather belt. His hair was a beautiful reddish brown and His beard was of the same indescribable color. At my height, I was about the height of His toes. There was inexpressible, pure knowledge and understanding at meeting Him, I totally consecrated myself to be His servant and messenger. To do with me whatever He wanted. I told Him that I would be his pencil or eraser… that I would serve Him with my life. I never saw His face because it was more radiant than a million suns. I heard His voice in my heart and His words were burned into my soul. God the Father gets to the point! He told me that Our Blessed Mother had been commissioned by Him to prepare for the coming of His Son, Jesus. She was to guide and teach me so that at the fullness of time I would be ready to accomplish His will. The Holy Spirit and Our Blessed Mother were to be my protectors, mentors and teachers. He indicated that my task would not be easy, and that I would suffer much, but not to defend myself for he would defend me. He said that Satan would use many people of all walks of life who would try to persecute me and destroy me, but they would not prevail. These people would be both laity and clergy. He told me that persecution and suffering were to take place in preparation for the tribulation that was coming to mankind if His children did not change their sinful ways. He communicated to me during this amazing moment that I was not to reveal this to anyone, but only to my Spiritual Directors. The time would come when I was to reveal these messages and teachings to the world. (This happened in August 2014). He further told me that the sin of mankind demanded divine justice for its sin against His Son who is still suffering in the Cross. (I am sharing what I was shown. In Heaven and in presence of the Holy Trinity there is no time – now I understand why the Lord told Moses “I am that I am”) God the Father blessed and told me He loved me. Then, In an instant I was back in the small little garden where Our Lady was teaching me of things to come. My Friends …… GOD IS GOD: Meditate on The Patience of God the Father It is very difficult for our human nature to even come close to knowing the mind of God the Father. At Adoration last Thursday, I came before the Blessed Sacrament and had a wonderful conversation with God The Father. I asked the same questions that most of us Christians and people of God are asking. What is happening spiritually? We hear from many “seers” the same messages, yet confusion and uncertainty reigns within us.
Before Adoration on Thursday March 10, 2016 at 10:00 p.m., I heard the following from God the Father: It pains me to see all the suffering that is taking place throughout the world. I see my Son, Jesus, still suffering and paying the price for the salvation of souls. Yes, He is still on the Cross paying the price for the sins of mankind. Mankind has given its soul to the evil that Satan is offering them in order to destroy my children. These times are worse than the times of Noah. The Blessed Virgin Mary has been given the task of reaching out to mankind, but she is ridiculed for Her efforts even through Church-approved apparitions. Many within my Church have turned against Her and my Son. She and the Holy Spirit are preparing a “Remnant” of true believers. Mary has pleaded for centuries for my children to turn away from sin and come into my Arms of Love. It is only through Her intersession and all the prayers of my true believers that I have waited to bring My Holy Wrath of Justice upon the evil of this world. I have sent many prophets and messengers to awaken a world that has fallen asleep to my Love. There is not a place on earth where evil does not exist. Satan is in control of many world leaders. My Holy Word in Scripture has not yet been fulfilled, but the time of My Holy Wrath is very close. Yet, I am your Father and your God of mercy and love. I have called many of my prophets, messengers and holy spiritual leaders to help you prepare for this coming tribulation. These anointed men and women are part of the Remnant that Mary is bringing together. I tell you to discern and pray, for Satan is using his followers to mimic my anointed ones. My desire is for all of you to completely repent and convert, and to receive the complete gifts of the Holy Spirit. My desire is for all of you to turn to me and receive all the holy, spiritual gifts that were given to my early Church. The time is shorter than many await. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged or in despair and hopelessness. This is a tool that Satan is using in letting you believe that I will not intervene. I hear the cries of my people, and I am with you. This is one of my greatest pains. As prophesy has foretold, if I do not intervene with my Holy Wrath of Justice, mankind will not survive. I want you to know the love that I have for each of you. The time is coming that you will experience my Holy love and protection. I have raised leaders, and you will know them by their spirit and their love for Me. Many of you are seeing the birth pangs that are taking place through the evil of Satan. Many have lost faith in Me, because you do not see my purpose of love as you witness the atrocities that man is inflicting against each other. Many of my children’s hearts have turned cold and have distanced themselves from me and refuse to listen to my Words. My children, you are living the [Hour of Darkness and evil]. Satan knows that he has very little time left on earth. I have given him temporary control, and he is doing all within his false power to take all of you to the eternal damnation of Hell. Always remember that each of you have a choice to make---either you embrace evil or embrace My Love for you. My Messengers will teach you how to fight evil as I call everyone to repent and pray in faith so that they will witness the destruction of evil from this world. I hear and see your cries of pain and suffering. Again, I tell you, do not allow discouragement and depression to blind you of my love and protection for you and your family. I am with you at all times, even when you see no hope. Many believe that I have abandoned them. You will see spiritual changes in the following months as my plan for you begins to unfold. My Remnant is coming together, and I ask you to place your faith and prayers before Me. I am your Father and love you very much. I ask that all of you come together in love and faith. Do not try to rationalize and seek answers that you will not find. All prophesies and warnings must come to pass. Read Holy Scripture daily. Spend an hour of prayer each day with me. Call to me, and I will answer. Do not judge nor criticize your fellow man…. Love and try to understand. Reach out to the poor and visit the sick. Be My messengers of love. What you see on the world stage is only the beginning of what is to come. The “Hour of Darkness” is upon you. I ask that you pray for Pope Francis and your priests. There will be many innocent martyrs that will give their lives for me. I cannot continue to have my Son suffer on the Cross for the sins of mankind. This world has become ungrateful and has no good conscience. The anti-Christ has taken his evil position throughout the world, and he will spare no one. Woe, be to those Pastors and self-proclaimed ministers who falsely proclaim My Holy Words in Holy Scripture. Satan has infiltrated their minds and hearts, and they have lead my children astray with their false teachings. They continue to desecrate my Church and preach hatred as they continue their false teachings. They have taken my children away from My Holy Sacraments and teachings. It is out of pride and lust of money that they reach out for those souls that are seeking the truth. There is only one Church which my Son established on earth. Even those within My Church have brought division among my people by misleading the faithful, and some within my church failing to believe that the Holy Scriptures are my love letters to my children. My Words are not fairy tales as many are preaching to my children! Satan has been given permission to infiltrate My Church and other Christian churches. The time of Truth and Judgment is about to come to this world, and it angers Me when these self-proclaimed ministers of evil continue to teach hate and division. It will be better that a rope and stone be placed around their neck and thrown into the deepest ocean for the deception and hatred they have preached to my little children who only seek Me and the Truth. Do not give up Hope and place your complete Trust in Me. I am with you and will protect and guide you. As evil world events continue to unfold, I will speak to you through my messengers and holy prophets. I am your Father. I am your God. I love you. *Note from the webmaster: After speaking with John, he asked me to share with my readers that he has received many emails asking him why he has stopped communicating to the body of Christ. He assured me that he has not stopped, but that, unlike other visionaries, he cannot communicate any messages without being told to do so from Heaven. As soon as he is instructed, he will send out the next article. God Bless. -Jimmy
I think John is one of the few authentic messengers from God. The message above rings true to me. He is a humble man and has never looked for popularity or attention. I will take heed to the message above from God the Father. The arm of God's justice will not be long now.
What does it mean that Christ is still suffering on the Cross now? I guess I always thought that Christ did suffer on Cross for my sins, but in a miracle of time it was "before" my time on earth but Jesus transcended all time. I'm confused a bit that he is still on the Cross. I thought he suffered once and for all at that time 2000 years ago? I'm not questioning John, but I'm trying to understand. In the end, it probably does not matter in that Jesus suffered/suffers for my sins. I need to try and atone and sin no more.
Surely it is a figurative statement. I look at it the same way as I look at a crucifix that is bleeding. Why? It represents the suffering that Christ perpetuates until the end of time for his Church. Not in blood, but perhaps as he does in the Mass which is a re-presentation of Christ's suffering perpetuated until the end.
Miker, I think it means that we as the Mystical Body of Christ, who unite our crosses to that of Jesus', are His Body on the Cross still and this will be until the end of this age. In the Mass, we are united to the whole Easter Tridium, and until the last Mass is said, Christ's Body will continue the Passion, Death, Ressurection and Ascention to Glory. I think we all know that but the way God the Father is pre ported to tell John about Christ still suffering on the Cross really brings it home. Peace my Brother. Ed
We are the body of Christ. Jesus remains on the cross as long as his children are crucified. "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Luisa Piccarreta recounts many instances of Jesus telling her of his great suffering from the offenses of men. (Example: the suffering caused to Him by every unworthy reception of the Eucharist). In the hours of the passion, He told her that his scourging was just a physical representation of the suffering He experiences when a soul, a member of His body, chooses hell. It's a great mystery.
I believe I posted on a previous thread an insight I received a number of years ago. I went to a priest who was a frequent confessor of mine. He asked if I had confessed this sin the previous month. When I answered in the affirmative, he gave me the following penance: pray before the crucifix and ask yourself why you continue to cause Jesus to suffer on the Cross! It was there that I realized the uprooting of sin in my life helps alleviate Jesus' suffering! For if the Lord bore the weight of all the sins of all time on the Cross, and by grace I uproot a pattern of sin in my life, then in one sense a tiny portion of his suffering caused by me is eliminated! This is why it is so important to resolve not to sin again after each confession and take constructive steps to remove near occasions of sin in my life. O Jesus, may I always bring more joy and less grief to your Sacred Heart with each passing day. Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Safe in the Flames of the Sacred Heart!
Blaise Pascal had this intuition when he wrote in his Pensées that Christ will be in 'agony' until the 'end of the world'. I know that this kind of figurative language about the contemporaneity of the Passion can seem disturbing to many, but it is an absolutely consistent feature of the mystical literature, present in countless sources. The Cross is not just an event, but the revelation of Christ's eternal nature as Lamb, to which Revelation 5:6 can be said to allude. Hans Urs von Balthasar gave dense but memorable expression to this in the preface to the second edition of his Mysterium Paschale: '[...] what [...] appears as the (most real) suffering of the Cross is only the manifestation of the (Trinitarian) Eucharist of the Son: he will forever be the slain Lamb, on the throne of the Father's glory, and his Eucharist - the Body shared out, the Blood poured forth - will never be abolished, since the Eucharist it is which must gather all creation into his body. What the Father has given, he will never take back.' I also find it helpful to remember the notion of the totus Christus ('the whole Christ': a concept most famously found in Augustine, but not invented by him) as being composed of both the Head (i.e. Jesus) and his Body (i.e. the Church). Wherever Christians are persecuted, there is the suffering Christ who indwells them by the Spirit. Remember that when Jesus appeared to Saul of Tarsus, he asked him 'why are you persecuting me', not 'my followers' (as Martin Luther commented in one of his er... better insights). That there is a deep identification between Jesus and his Body is confirmed in the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25. So it is surely legitimate to say that when - to take just one example out of countless possible ones - Christians are being crucified by ISIS, then Jesus is in a very real sense still on the Cross.
What is controversial here? Certainly not the statement about Satan, who as a creature most certainly cannot do anything without God's permission. I assume that you are objecting to the words 'other Christian churches'... Over on the thread concerning Fr Adam Skwarczynski I have just put a link to the Polish Episcopate's recent document establishing a public ceremony in the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Krakow-Lagiewniki on November 19, 2016 enthroning Christ as King of Poland and celebrating the 1050th anniversary of Poland's baptism in 966. It contains an important passage regarding baptism which is worth quoting in the present context: 'Baptism is an event which cannot be restricted to the sole context of the Catholic Church. St Paul writes that '[...] you were all baptized into one Body' (see 1 Cor. 12,13), forming one, holy, universal and apostolic Church. Baptism therefore makes Christians, irrespective of the divisions between them, members of one Body of Christ. It creates a unity, which is not uniquely restricted to indifferent tolerance and mutual knowledge about one another, but which is fulfilled in the exchange of spiritual gifts. We thank God for the "Declaration of the mutual recognition of baptism as a sacrament of unity" accepted at the beginning of the year 2000 by the Catholic Church and the Churches included in the Polish Ecumenical Coucil. This is unprecedented on a European and world level and inspires [us] to undertake the next steps intended for the unification of Christians. The unity of the Church is the will of Christ. The multiplication of divisions or mere indifference towards them is a serious sin and counter-witness, which increases scandal. Poland received its baptism at a time when the Church was to a large extent not yet divided into [Eastern] Orthodox (1054) and Protestant churches (1517). Is Jesus Christ not calling us not only to experience but - inasfar as possible - also to prepare a common celebration of the 1050th anniversary of that event.? Can we sing a joyful Te Deum to God for the event of baptism other than in an attitude of deep unity?' http://episkopat.pl/dokumenty/listy...ki_na_Jubileusz_1050_lecia_Chrztu_Polski.html (translation PB) In the light of the official teaching of the Church as expressed by documents such as the above, the expression 'other Christian churches' as found in John Martinez Jr's purported message is entirely orthodox. It must be said clearly and unambiguously that what is not orthodox is the persistent refusal of some on this forum in the name of supposed purity of doctrine to accept the Magisterium's affirmation of the underlying unity of all baptized Christians. Please read again the words in red.
I asked John when he first joined the forum as a tester to ask Our Lady to tell him a Marian Secret I happen to know, concerning the Church. He asked her and Mary told him that the secret was personal to me alone and no one eslse was to know it. Our Lady/ John got it right on the button. I wouldn't advise this kind of a thing as a short cut for everyone in Discernment but I was busy at the time and so cut corners. I believe John is true. John said a nice thing when someone asked him why he had not posted messages for quite a while (I had wondered about this myself) to which John simply replied that he hadn't posted any because he hadn't been given any. I just thought this was a wonderful answer, the kind St Bernadette used to give. Yes, I fully believe in my heart John is authentic. Not just because of the answer Our Lady gave, but it does play a big part.
Wonderful Peter, thank you for your post. The above quote reminds me of something that I heard said once in a podcast by a Catholic teacher in a series on the Church fathers. The speaker's name escapes me now, but he is an ex-protestant who converted to Catholicism after reading the texts of the Fathers of the Church. He said that all Christians who are baptized, and in particular he was addressing a question concerning protestants, are part of the Catholic Church, but they just haven't come to realize it yet.
This is just speculation - before Jesus, God did speak to a few but after Jesus...I'm not sure its Gods the Father role to talk to humanity. His son took over that job. Just my opinion.
A good example is St Catheinre of Siena, A Doctor of the Church and she received messages directly from God the Father Himself directly as expounded in the book, 'The Dialogue': https://www.ewtn.com/library/SOURCES/CATHDIAL.HTM Which not infrequently contains Warnings for the Hierarchy.
