Woman of Revelation Series: Father or Judge?

[ANNOUNCER]

This is the Woman of Revelation Series with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

In Revelation it says, let your yes be yes and your no be no. We are all in the middle. Medjugorje, if it is about anything at all, it’s about you have to decide who you are going to be for. And She keeps saying decide for God. This is a time of decision, She says. Change the direction of your life.

That was a Friend of Medjugorje on March 18, 2010.  Welcome to the Woman of Revelation Series with a Friend of Medjugorje. You heard last night broadcast.   That was March 18, 2009. This is one year later and it is incredible to hear how much a Friend of Medjugorje is able to pull from the messages. Tonight, in this broadcast, a Friend of Medjugorje reveals a promise of Our Lady, and He gives it as a fact. And it is something concrete which we can all do. The title of this broadcast is “Father or Judge?” Here is a Friend of Medjugorje, March 18, 2010.

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Well, as always, we wish to thank you for being with us. It is a great joy for us to be able to bring you the messages, as we always begin our shows.  It is also a great joy to be so much in nearness, as Our Lady said. God wants to be in nearness to you. That this verbiage is almost strange to us in the way She says it, that we have this today.  We have Her presence.

Mirjana’s March 18, 2010 Message from Our Lady.

 

 “Dear children! Today I call you to love with all your heart and with all your soul. Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself. My Son does not refuse those who call Him and who desire to live according to Him. Pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love. Pray that God may be their Father and not their Judge. My children, you be my apostles, be my river of love. I need you. Thank you.”

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

It always amazes me to see that Mirjana added that Our Lady was very joyful. And yet Her words can be passed off as, okay, it is just superficial, which so many people have done through the years. And yet, Our Lady says some serious things in here. She says, My children, you be my apostles, be my river of love.” Well, all 12 apostles, except for John, were all martyred. What is She asking of us? She asks us many times to be a witness. What does witness mean?  It means to be martyred. And anybody that has gone through conversion and has followed Medjugorje, that starts walking in Her way, the first things that happens to you is difficulties, obstacles, sufferings. Like, this isn’t what I bargained for.  I come to love God and all of the sudden, I ‘ve got all of these crises and crosses I’m carrying. Well, before you were too much like a pagan, to much pagan in your Christianity. Because many Christians are converting today. Not pagans converting to Christianity, but Christians converting to the more fuller life of living the Christian life.  You know, St. Paul, when he had his conversion experience, he was not a pagan.  He was a well-schooled pharisee in the synagogue.  He was well-known for that,  a good teacher.  They sent him, in fact, to persecute the Christians. So it wasn’t that he was on the outside of religion, he was on the inside.  He wasn’t a heathen. So he went through conversion and what did he do for the next 8 years? He went through conversion, trials.  He had to learn what it meant to be a Christian. He didn’t have the luxury of the 3 years they had a cram session with Jesus Christ Himself. Paul had to go through and learn the experiences. So when you convert through Medjugorje, all the sudden you have things that have never happened to you in your life. Things start falling apart. We often see in our mission and in our life, and in our Medjugorje conversion, that we have everything running perfectly.  All the gears are running, everything is well oiled. And it is like an angel from Heaven drops down this monkey wrench right into the gears to jam it up or break some teeth. And often we see this happen because God wants to see how we are going to deal with it.

 

If we are on a project, say we are doing some construction within the community and we have difficulties.  Do we handle it in peace or do we start hollering and screaming, ranting and raving, losing our peace or say things we should say or be mad at each other? Or do we sit there and say as God wills? I’m just going to be happy. And this is the life of a Christian. Be joyful carriers of my peace, be joyful Christians. What made the early Christians that converted from paganism want to be Christian? Because they had something that they didn’t have. Our Lady’s love, especially this message is so beautiful, is such that She is wanting us to have this love within us. People are attracted to it. Everyone in their life has been attracted to someone, a schoolteacher when you were a child, an aunt, uncle or parent, somebody that you can remember that had some kind of great impact on you because of their calmness, the way they handled themselves, the way they carried their demeanor. The way they handled situations with family members or whatever. They carried this peace and they were always working towards peace, or building peace or preserving the peace.  And, you know, you though I’d like to imitate them.  Even if you didn’t say those words, maybe you weren’t mature enough level to define it, but there was something about the way that the individual did something that really touches you today.  Everybody has had that.  Well, not everybody.  Nonbelievers often have had such horrible lives that they never had that in their lives. But Our Lady is calling on you to be an apostle in that. And that does mean difficulties, apostleship, being martyred.

 

And so, I was just reading last night some things from Al Capon, John Dillinger and all this stuff.  And all of them had the same theme in their life, horrible, horrible childhood, sternness, oppressiveness.  John Dillinger was a murderer.  He was a killer. But I pitied him when I read about him.  I pitied him because what could have happened if he had the right mentors in his life? His dad was very oppressive, very disciplinarian, every stern. He did do something bad in the beginning and one guy got 2 years of a prison sentence and got out early.  They gave him 14 years and then 10 more years. Very, very unjust in what happened in compared to the others. I know everybody gets what comes to them, but he came out even more hardened and more angry and more mean and more cross in his way. Of course, he ended up dying in the streets, shot to death. But how many people have been like that?  I know there was a guy in Italy, during the period of WWII, that planned a plot to kill the Pope. And Jelena, the inner locutionist, lives near this area. I went there to see Jelena, and was told about this shrine, went there.  They have flowers there at the shrine.  There was this guy who was planning to kill the Pope, I think it was the next day, Our Lady appeared to him. That apparition changed his life. He became a big advocate for the Pope. It is a little know shrine and apparition, but I saw Italians visiting this place. So Our Lady comes to us today in the world to touch us in a way and display this love, to show us how to love.

 

And one thing that is so amazing to me is how Our Lady is coming with this and that God really loves me. God loves me in a way that I can’t grasp why He does it. That why does He spend the time?  Why wasn’t I smashed a long time ago? And Our Lady tells us something about that.  You know, if you respond, and we are in a time and age of responding, are response is so critical that we can accept God as our Father or we can accept God, the Judge. And if read about Him being a Judge, you don’t want this kind of judge. Who wants to go before any judge? Who wants what a father does?  Okay, I’ll must pat you on the back. So God must really love me.  He must really love all of you on the earth.  That’s a beautiful thing that He sends His Mother to show us this.

 

[SONG]

There’s been times I’ve let my faith run thin
Not been the man I should have been
After all the trouble I’ve been in, I’d gave up on me
I’ve lived hard and I’ve lived fast
Lost things I will never get back
Cause someone to look past all of that
God must really love me

 

When I look at the miracles around me
At the way that I live and the way He forgives
I know He’s up there smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why
I’m still alive is
God must really love me

 

Wake up and feel you by my side
The perfect girl, the perfect time
And see the way our future shines
God must really love me

 

When I look at the miracles around me
At the dream that I live and the gift that he gives
I know he’s up there smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why
I get to live this life is God must really love me

 

When I showed the worst, He saw the best
He pulled the world right off my chest
Every day I wake up I feel blessed
Yeah, I feel so blessed
God must really love me
God must really love me
God must really love me

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Our Lady says February 2, 2010, “I call you to be a lighthouse to all souls who wander in the darkness of ignorance of God’s love. That you may shine all the brighter and draw all the more souls, do not permit the untruths which come out of your mouth to silence your conscience.”

 

There again, recently, Our Lady’s monthly message through of course, Mirjana, the 2^nd of the month for nonbelievers it shows the same theme She says today. That She calls us to pray for the gift of love, to receive that.  Back in 1988, when Marija first came to our home and we had three months of apparitions, she chose the Bedroom to have the apparitions, we notice one particular apparition from the onset, that was different from all the previous weeks before that. We saw some extraordinary take place in the room. And we felt it. We felt it in the room physically.  It wasn’t just something spiritual, something in our heart.  We physically felt something different almost in the air. And Marija’s voice, during the middle of the apparition, when She prayed with Our Lady, was so powerful, so sweet the way She pronounced the words, so moving that we knew something was taking place in the apparition. We didn’t know what it was, but we felt something we didn’t know how to define what that feeling was because we had never felt it that way before. After the apparition ended, Marija said Our Lady gave us the gift of love tonight.

 

Today She says, “Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself.” We receive it that night.  We had been praying.  We had Our Lady in our home.  We had these things and thousands of people were coming here.  We had been praying without realizing what we were praying for. And She gave it. She has only given this gift maybe 4 times during the 28 years of apparitions. I have seen it twice when Marija was at our place and twice in Medjugorje. So here She is telling you, pray for the gift of love.  You can receive this. And I can tell you after the apparition, we felt love in the room.  We felt love permeate the walls.  It was physically there. One person that was there with me, came up to me and said do you feel what I feel. I said, yes, I feel that. And so immediately when Marija said that, it confirmed what we felt. We just didn’t know how to define that, that this was love. It felt good.  It felt something special.  It is hard to explain. But here it is today, you have this opportunity.

 

The Mother of God, who is full of truth when She says this, doesn’t mean, okay you can go buy a ticket for a lottery.  Maybe you will get this.  She says pray for the gift of love.  Do you want that? Because, when you get the gift of love, in other words, She says, “when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself. My Son does not refuse those who call Him and who desire to live according to Him.” No matter what you have done.  No matter what you have done. Even the gift of love was given to the adulterer who was about to be stoned. Cast the first stone, those who are without sin.  And then He turns to her, who just received the gift of love, and says, go and sin no more. And this is what She says today, who desires to live according to Him.  Desire adulteress to change your life, to live according to God, to expense this gift.  I’ve just shown you love. I just saved your life. I just saved your soul. Sadly we don’t know what happened to her. Did she change, did she not change? The thing is, she was given this gift of love, but it is all according, to continue that, if you live according to Him. Him what?  His principles. Who is He?  The Christ. Christian principles. “Pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love.”

 

Obviously, this woman didn’t know what love was.  She was doing something that was animalistic, nothing about love. And so when we taste God’s love, when we understand that, we can understand seeing sinners in great sin and realize, and pity them, just like what I said about John Dillinger.  There was a certain pity I had.  You know, this soul is lost. He died in violence. And yes, I can’t judge that.  We’re not allowed to judge that. Because we didn’t really know what mental arrangement was in his mind, or his heart or whatever. The circumstances were not good. It was not a holy death. But how many mentors in front of that person could have saved him? And that is what Our Lady is calling you to. It is for you to make that decision.

It is interesting that Our Lady has never used the word judge in terms of God, that He is the Judge, in all these years of apparitions.  Would you say that She has a reluctance to use that term, that She wants to present God as a loving Father, but that it is important for us to know ultimately, He is still the judge?

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Well, we come and have this idea and concept of God because He doesn’t react.  He is a patient God, that He is not going to react. In other words, the consequences of our actions of missing the nail, when you are hammering it and you hit your thumb is immediately. The consequences of sin, because you do it, and you inflict a far greater damage to your soul is not immediately felt. The more you pray and the more you grow towards God, sometimes you can feel your soul.  I can do that sometimes; I feel I am damaging it. If you are a sensitive spirit that can actually be felt. There has been times I felt that and anybody doing that, I think that is offered to them. But the consequences and the atonement, even if you repent, doesn’t happen immediately. And so, God is slow to let that come because He will let you go and go and go and go, but then one day you have consequences come. You know, you can’t go plant a peach tree this Spring and expect to get fruit the next year. You have to toil it. You have to fertilize it. And you have to water it.  And after years of growing, it produces fruit. Sin does that – bad fruit. When you persist in sin, you will produce bad fruit in your life. And many people, as they get older, start picking this fruit. And they don’t like it. And they regret and they start spending their whole golden age of their life entering into a period of time that they wish they had done things a different way. I hear that all the time from older people. And the youth and the decisions they make, will greatly affect what they experience later with the treasure of peace.

 

The greatest treasure you can have on earth is peace.  And so it is important that we understand and comprehend that God is judging us.  God will be merciful to us if we accept Him as Father.  And a father you can go to and say, Father, I’m sorry.  I shouldn’t have done this. Forgive me.  And He will do that. You might atone for it, but you still get a light sentence. But if you are going to be always pushing it, always going your way and not living according to Him, as Our Lady said today, you will meet that judge. And I will read, actually today’s reading at Mass is incredibly, talking about this judgement of God.

This is the Woman of Revelation Series with a Friend of Medjugorje. Stay tune, a Friend of Medjugorje will return after this short break.

 

[MUSIC]

 

In ages past, God destroyed the sinful world in the waters of the flood. He chose Noah alone and his family to be saved upon the ark. Today, mankind is sinking in a whirlpool of sin, and it does not even know in what sin it is sinking. Who will save us from this whirlpool? Where is our ark to be found? Who is our navigator upon the stormy waves? The ark today is not of wood made by man, but rather the opening of a Motherly Mantle. The Star of the Sea. Mary of Nazareth. Mother of Jesus. The Queen of Peace. God’s ark for us today, leading us to security, to peace, to a future. Will you allow yourself to be saved on this ark? “A New Ark,” by a Friend of Medjugorje, available on mej.com.  Spelled m e j.com or call in the US, (205) 672-2000, (205) 672-2000.  “A New Ark” by a Friend of Medjugorje, available through Caritas of Birmingham.

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

So, today’s reading today speaks really of what we just heard on this commercial about the God of Sinai. That’s not a pleasant side of God, but how long do we expect Him to continue in the depravity of society and its destruction…and not have consequence?  And so because it’s not a tangible, immediate effect of our consequence of sin…in which we see …consequences… People said, “Well, I did this and nothing happened.  I did this and nothing happened.”  This catches us with you.  There comes a time when we push God too far and He’s got to correct us, for our own good.  The fact that Our Lady’s coming is defined by what She told Ivan several years ago, had She not come the world would have destroyed itself.  When man fails to understand the reasons of monogamous marriage, procreation and wanders off to abominations as in the things we see in our cultures today, it doesn’t get better.  It just goes downhill, just like Sodom.  What did He do to Sodom to correct it?  He destroyed it. And He would have saved the city if they found five people, that’s all they had to find.

 

Lot and Abraham were told they had to leave.  Our Lady is coming to find the apostles, come be my people, be my river of love.  And She’s finding us, She’s finding them. So, things are going to change.  It doesn’t mean we don’t have a hard road to hoe in the garden. We’ve got difficulties, but today in the readings it says, from Exodus 32:7:14, “The Lord said to Moses, go down at once to your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshipping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God O Israel who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’  The Lord said to Moses, ‘I see how stiff-necked this people is.  Let me alone then that my wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation.’  But Moses implored the Lord God, he said…”

 

This is Our Lady!  This is exactly where we are today.  Molten calf, the cars, Porsche, all this stuff, everybody’s things, even the ….you’ve got driving.  People worship these things as god, their cell phones, everything. There are so many gods …today that do you hold the Bible as much as you…to texting?  What have you done, have you read the Bible today?  How many times have you used or read texts or whatever you’re doing, or preoccupied with the daily newspaper, your television.  How much have you spent with God today?  And where are you going to spend eternity?  With either the devil or with God.  And so, what does that dictate you in this life where you want to be spending your time?  It doesn’t make any common sense not to be thinking.  We need to be a godly people, walking with God.

 

So, Moses implored God, saying, “Why, O Lord, should Your wrath blaze up against Your own people?”  This is exactly Our Lady.  This is what She came today to say. She says, “do you want Him to judge you?  Or do you want Him to be Your Father?  A Father takes care of his children, a judge sentences.”  That’s the difference.  There is a big distinct difference and this calls for Our Lady’s “choice” decision.  That’s what I wrote yesterday [available to read here].  Some people didn’t like what I wrote yesterday because they think when I said about Our Lady being “pro-choice.”  I don’t mean for death, I mean for pro-life.  Why do we give way to the degradation of language in letting these pro-death people use “pro-choice” as if there is a decision?  On Tepeyac on Guadalupe, Our Lady appears on what?  A hill, 500 years ago, where everybody knew, all the Indians there, all the indigenous people knew that hill was to sacrifice babies to a goddess, a woman.  And here it is, She comes and does it, Our Lady comes and says, “I am for your choice.”  Make a choice. She wants you to make a pro-life choice. There’s no in-between now.  You’ve got to make a choice.  She says, also your choice is for life or death.  You have this choice.  Its your choice.  So how can we say anything other than that and God’s the same way.  He’s for us to make a choice. We need to decide for God.  In Revelation it says let your yes be yes, let your no be no.  We all are in the middle.  Medjugorje, if it is about anything at all, it’s about you’ve got to decide who you are going to be for. And She keeps saying decide for God. This is a time of decision.  She says to change the direction of your life.  This is about as pro-choice as you can get.  Why do we vacate this phrase to these murderers?  Why do we sit there and let them define what it means?  Because they’ve determined, and mentalities out there that pro-choice means that you can kill your baby. That’s not what it means.  Pro-choice is an honoring of the free-will God gave us.  Yes, you can sin, and you cannot sin.  That’s your choice. We encourage you and Our Lady encourages us, She wants us to walk in this way.

 

And so, Our Lady comes as Moses.  She’s the Priestess and implored to God, saying, “Why, O Lord, should your wrath blaze up against your own people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with such a strong hand?  Why should the Egyptians say with evil intent, he brought them out that he might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth.” A father doesn’t do that.  Our Lady is telling us that today.  “Let your blazing wrath die down.  Relent in punishing your people.  Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel and how you swore to them by your own self, saying I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of the sky and all this land that I promised I will give your descendants as a perpetual heritage.”  Our Lady wants this for us.  A perpetual heritage for eternity that we can call God a paternity.  She’s our Mother, God’s our Father.  She’s the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. “And so, the Lord relented in the punishment He had threatened to inflict upon His people.”  We’ve got Secrets’ coming. They’re going to come; the visionaries will be alive through most of those Secrets.  There’s no question it’s going to be something of proportions that we are going to know it’s of God.  So, this is the consequences of a wayward society that is constantly persisted in sin.

 

And what amazes me the most is God’s love. We’ve seen so many things in the world.  We’ve seen the beauty of consumerous society, from diamonds to pearls. We’ve seen everything. What does it mean?  It means nothing. But when we go out in Creation and we see God and First Romans says there is no excuse to be atheistic, or not to believe and Romans relays because known realities prove God’s existence in Creation.  And that may be the colors of the rainbow. That might be the sense in your heart. He will speak to you and its through Creation often.  But one thing we can see through this, is it is amazing that God is allowing Our Lady to come after we’ve done so many atrocities against Him, all of us Christians, and we’re given this great grace of Her presence here.  And if you don’t see this amazing love of God, you’re not praying and your blind.

 

 

[SONG]

I’ve seen the seven wonders of the world
I’ve seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
But they mean nothing baby
Your love amazes me
I’ve seen a sunset that would make you cry
And colors of the rainbow, reaching cross the sky
The moon in all it’s phases
Your love amazes me

 

Don’t you ever doubt this love of mine
You’re the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me

 

I prayed for miracles that never came
I got down on my knees out in the pouring rain
But only you could save me
Your love amazes me

 

Don’t you ever doubt this love of mine
You’re the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me

 

Your love
Your love amazes me
Your love amazes me
I got down on my knees
Your love
Your love amazes me
Only you

You know it’s pretty astounding that Our Lady says on August 23, 1981, “When you need me, call me.”  Another time She says, on March 4, 1982, “If you have any problems whatever it be, call me.  I will come immediately to help you in advising you on best resolving the difficulties.”  I remember reading this message, discovering it and realizing that Our Lady has been elevated to a new position on the earth.  She’s been given greater authority, greater power to affect that She’s somebody we can really call on!  This is not something empty of words.  She’s not like us.  We can make our promises and break them.  We can give our words. We can shake our hands, handshake on something, a deal, and sponge on it or not do it, but Our Lady makes a contract.  Her words are truth.  If She says it, She means it.

 

We often read in The Poem of the Man-God or other books, or even scripturally, where Jesus says something, and He carried it out. He’s not going to promise something to someone and not do it.  It’s going to happen.  So, Our Lady says if you have any problems, whatever it be, call me.  I will come immediately and help you in advising you on best resolving the difficulty. That can happen in your room tonight.  We’ve done this in our mission.  We do it in our community.  I’ve done it individually before the community.  Our Lady has this authority.  Do you grasp that?  And on May 2, 2009, She says, “From the depth of your heart, cry out to my Son. His name disperses even the greatest darkness.  I will be with you.  You just call me:  Here we are Mother, lead us.”  I say all those messages for what She said to today, which is something to me is astounding also. At the end of the message, She says.  And before I read that, think of who She is. She is the Queen of the Sea, She’s the Queen of the Angels, She is the Queen of Creation, She’s got title after title after title, She’s the greatest Creature and even every single one of the angels, you have Peter up there at the desk with a calculator calculating, okay your holiness is 110%, we add more, okay 200, okay here’s St. Michael 600, you tally all of that up, that don’t even come close to any kind of scale to the holiness of the Virgin Mary, can you imagine that, billions of angels. She is supreme.  She enters into the Trinity that no being has ever entered into that depth.  The Secrets and things that She knows and what She’s privy to that nobody else has and She comes to you today and says these three words, this is scary.

 

This is scary in the sense of we need to confess how many times we fail Our Lady. How many times She’s asked us to do something, and we don’t do it, when we know that the angels, being with Marija at our place and speaking with Marija that when the angels appear in our Bedroom and talking with her afterwards that for an angel to accompany the Blessed Virgin Mary they hold that as one of the greatest moments in their state of being.  How long will that angel be being?  Forever!  They’ll wear this as a little badge, a little tassel on their shoulder, or however they’ll measure that in Heaven, I don’t know.  But this says, I went with the Virgin Mary down to earth.  I mean, can you imagine that?  And these three words She ends this message today before She says, “thank you,” She says, “I need you.”  Big responsibility! Frightening if you think about it in a way that, ooh, am I responding?  In one of the most glorious moments in the history of the world, the history of the Church since the death of the last apostle, John, and we’re just sitting around?  And we’re complaining?  And She says, “I need you”? I’m nothing and only when you become nothing and you understand you’re nothing, can She use you and say, I need you. That’s how you become Her servant. So, often people think, we’re working close to Our Lady, it’s because we ain’t nothing.  Period.  And when you empty yourself that way, She can use you.

 

This is the Woman of Revelation Series with A Friend of Medjugorje.  Stay tuned.  A Friend of Medjugorje will return after this short break.

We had a supporter that wrote to us earlier and she writes to us and she says that when I wait for the message from Mirjana for nonbelievers I pause and I think that I do not want to be in the category of nonbelievers which I think are very bad people, people who don’t believe in God, people who hate, etc., etc., but then I think, no these are people like me.  She’s talking to people like me, or is She?  How do I, as an almost normal person, who yes, need improvement, but why do you think Our Lady puts us in a category of nonbelievers?  Is this message for us normal people who want to be better people than the bad people who we believe don’t believe in God, etc.?  Why do you think Our Lady, or is Our Lady putting us in the category of nonbelievers?

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Our Lady started off in the messages showing and training us and purifying us of nonbelief.  The absence of the fullness of Christianity in us means that there are some particles in our beliefs or mentalities that are no different than nonbelievers.  That is substantiated by the message when She says, many Christians live pagan Christianity.  And She didn’t say a few, She said many Christians live pagan Christianity. And so, Our Lady says today, pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love. Well, just in ’84, Our Lady was saying this to the people who were listening to Her, which were the believers: “You do not comprehend.” Here She says today, “Pray for those who do not know God’s love,” basically, who do not comprehend.  Here in ’84, She says, “You don’t comprehend.”  This is the early villagers. They were seeing incredible signs.  You are not conscious of the messages which God is sending to you through me.”  What do you mean?  What is She saying this for?  You aren’t conscious? You’re giving Thursday messages every Thursday.  And She says, you’re not conscious of the message?  How can that be?  These people were walking with Heaven.  It was so, my first visit in ’86, it was so mystical and they were still in the throes of the beginning at that time—the Communist fighting them and everything, and the whole village and healed relationships; and miracles; and the fire on the mountain burning and going up there and there is nothing on fire, the Cross spinning; seeing Our Lady one morning for 30 minutes, everybody in the village, Our Lady standing beside the Cross.  Miracle after miracle after miracle.

 

One woman we interviewed who didn’t believe, who went to a barn and saw light flashing out of the cracks of the door, opened it up and there was a great light and as soon as she opened the door, the light disappeared.  She became a believer. She was going to Mass. She wasn’t believing in the apparitions. She wasn’t believing in the miracles of God. She wasn’t believing in where God wanted to move her beliefs and to get her to move, He had to remove nonbelief in her.  And so, Our Lady says, August 25, 1997, “My dear children, now you do not comprehend this grace.”  See, this is 1997.  Now you do not comprehend this grace.  “But soon a time will come when you will lament for these messages.”  Oh, we’re going to learn them later. Who wants to do that now?  Who wants to purify themselves of nonbelief then?  And so, nonbelief is something that we all have, even today, even the highest in this movement, what are those elements of nonbelief because we’ve been so touched by the culture with wrong mentalities, and just what I wrote yesterday about people that don’t understand really what the gift of a free will is and Our Lady said, “Your weakness is your freedom.”

 

So, free will is a dangerous thing if we don’t bind ourselves and self-measured use of our freedom. In other words, we bind ourselves by the principles of Christianity, living those ways and God gives us, He’s free to let us be free.  And the more we want to abuse that freedom, and we sin through our free will, the more liberty and freedom we actually lose, and society becomes oppressive, we start being choked down. And so, the whole point some people miss on this.  The greater majority didn’t because they are following Our Lady. You know, we’re following the culture. They determine this pro-choice means what it means.  Why aren’t we determining it?  Our Lady wasn’t going to let the Indians down in Mexico, 500 years ago, determine what this mountain means, even though they had been doing that for years, murdering children, sacrificing them. She came and redefined it.  Our Lady has come to give us new mentalities and a lot of that can only happen if you recognize you are a nonbeliever. Okay I believe I’m supposed to be in Mass, I’m supposed to be reverent at Mass, I believe Mass is the greatest prayer in the universe—all true.  But, then I don’t think anything wrong of going to Communion when I haven’t been to confession in over a year.  We have this.  We just went to a penitential service yesterday and the whole church gets up and goes to Communion and almost everyone walks out afterwards.  Now, we’re out of town right now, but it’s amazing, it’s really amazing in there’s no sensitivity to the nonbelief we have.  You mean every one of those people hasn’t set something defiled before their eyes on television, they haven’t said something that they shouldn’t have said, or they hadn’t been uncharitable, or they hadn’t condemned people or mocked people, they have no sin in their life?  How is it that every single person in the church went to Communion?  And us four community members there looked like the sinners, we were the only ones at the Penitential service, basically, and I had been to Confession just two weeks ago.

 

You know, Our Lady, She said one time, She said, “I want you to go to Confession, even though you recently went in the last few days.” Some of them had just gone three or four days before that. It’s just amazing that we’re very sick in the soul. And for years, it was a real revelation for me, not just over five or six years ago, that on the mountain, after all those two decades of going to the mountain, Ivan’s apparitions, Our Lady said, “Pray for the sick…” I didn’t see that many sick around there. Yeah, some people were carried up on a stretcher, and I would think, you know, “What about us?!” You know, yeah, She prayed over us and She blessed us, but She’s always paying so much attention to the sick. And it’s tragic to be, you know, confined to a wheelchair.

 

But it dawned on me one night, sitting by myself, “Whoa. I get it!” I got rid of some non-belief that night. I’m sick! She’s praying for me! My soul is sick. My mentality is a sick mentality. And some of those people laying on a stretcher or in a wheelchair are more sick in their soul then they are in the wheelchair of the physical sickness.

 

And so, when you’re in the mountain, if you’ve been there, Our Lady prayed for you because you’re a sick person. We’re a sick world. There’s no way She’s coming for twenty-eight years if this is not a depraved, a cancerous sickness that She wants to rid us of. And this day of nonbelievers started off with really strong words about nonbelievers, those who don’t know the love of God, and has evolved in talking to us today.

 

Well, today’s March 18^th, but let’s just go to the second of the month message, February 2, 2010:

 

“…with Motherly love, today I call you to be a lighthouse to all souls who wander in the darkness of ignorance of God’s love. That you may shine all the brighter…”

 

Okay. She’s talking about us.

 

“…do not permit the untruths which come out of your mouth to silence your conscience…”

 

Okay. That’s non-belief! You’re a nonbeliever when you’re silent when you know better and something’s taking place, and you don’t speak against that, or you don’t give witness against that. You know, there’s a lot of circumstances you can’t change or you need to pray for your brother or you need to pray for something you see.

 

But at the same time, we have a silent culture who’s allowing abominations to make inroads into our law, into our life, and into our thinking. And this is a great, great tragedy, because we’re silenced.

When Our Lady said today,

 

“…Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself…”

 

So, what if that soul is a Muslim, or what if that soul is a Buddhist, or what if that soul is a nonbeliever, but that soul is loving or knows how to love? Is it, in some way, calling God to reveal Himself in Jesus? Is that love that they’re expressing, which is a characteristic of God, somehow leading that soul to the knowledge of Jesus Christ?

Well, it’s not being Catholic that determines whether or not you have the ingredients to go to Heaven. In fact, being Catholic and knowing the truth and knowing these things, or even being a Christian, all that does is just make you more liable. We have liability.

 

If you have a car that’s worth $12,000, and you’ve got collision insurance on it, your collision for a $12,000 car doesn’t cost you as much as one that’s a Porsche that’ll cost you $60-$75,000. You’re going to pay more for that, and it’s more liability in losing that to the insurance company.

 

And so, being a Catholic and being a Muslim is $12,000. Not any less the dignity of the human mind. But as far as what truths they have and what they know, or a pagan or somebody like that. But that doesn’t mean that, because a Catholic or a Christian…In other words, they have a lot more greater liability then them because we know so much.

 

So, sometimes we think, just because I’m Catholic, I’m going to have more. No, you’re going to be judged much more on your actions. You know more.

 

And so, what’s the real ingredients? The ingredients are not being Catholic or Muslim or a nonbeliever. The ingredients is love. You often hear about, “Unless you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you’re not going to make it to Heaven, etc.” What does that mean? You know, all the Indians are going…people who never heard of Jesus Christ is going to hell? That’s what some fundamentalist would say. “Well, if they don’t profess the name of Jesus…” Well, how do you know if, after they die, they’re going to meet Him for the first time and say,

 

“Because you loved, you recognized Me through your heart and your soul, because I am Love.”

 

And He’s going to say, “You’re the ones I love,” that never knew You. They have a longing to be Christian. That’s why Christopher Columbus came to the shores of our country. That’s why he discovered it. He felt…And the Holy Spirit guided him to do this. The historians and the teachers and the revisionists of history are not going to tell you those things. You read his diaries. Don’t read what they say about his diary. Read what he says. And that’s what he said. He was pushed by the Holy Spirit for the motivation of Christianizing these people when he kept coming back. There was human reasons—the routes—but there were human reasons why Jesus, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem. But the fulfillment of the Scriptures was done through that.

 

And so, it’s very important that we grasp that love is what determines the judgment in the end, because they can be totally ignorant. Moses never knew Jesus Christ. So, he never found Him as his Lord and Savior? I mean, gosh, I’d hate to know Moses is in hell.

 

So, think about that. This message is beautiful. It’s not a criteria. And Our Lady’s proved that when we had a Muslim go to the apparition room back in the ’80s, probably ’84 or somewhere around that time, and a Christian in there, and the Muslim child, and it was an Orthodox. The child was healed, and the Catholic wasn’t. The priest had trouble with that. “Well, they’re Catholic. They should have been healed.” No. It was what was in the heart.

 

And so, I know some Muslims. And I know, they’re very good people. They’re not about what you hear about on the news and what they’re trying to do—the Jihadists.

 

I know a neighbor I grew up with who never had a father, who never knew the love of a father, but was probably one of the moral kids I ever knew growing up. He had this code written in him of goodness. He was a very nice guy. And he told me, when he grew up one time—he came over to our house after I got married, and I hadn’t seen him in a long time. And we started talking about God. He didn’t believe in that. He didn’t understand God. He said,

 

“I wish there was a God. I just wish there was, because I’d punch Him in the face!”

 

His life didn’t reflect that, but he never had a father. He was abandoned. And he had this anger in him. He never experienced the love of God. But he was genuinely a better person than me, much more moral.

 

And so, we’re praying for these people to taste this love of God, and that’s one thing that’s going to come.

 

And so, we need to realize that we need to be praying for our friends and praying for these people like this childhood friend to come and experience and know the love of God.

 

 

[SONG:]

Lord, I lift my friend to You. I’ve done all that I know to do. I lift my friend to You. Complicated circumstances have clouded his view. Lord, I lift my friend up to You.

 

I fear that I won’t have the words that he needs to hear. I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that’s sincere. And Lord, I lift my friend up to You.

 

Lord, I lift my friend to You, my best friend in the world. I know he means much more to You. I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do. Lord, I lift my friend up to You.

 

‘Cause there’s a way that seems so right to him, but You know where that leads. He’s becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the stress. And Lord, I lift my friend up to You. My friend up to You.

 

Lord, I lift my friend to You. I’ve done all that I know to do. I lift my friend to You.

It’s impossible to have a show like this and not ask this question.

 

We’ve probably spoken about this…We have spoken about this specific subject before and specifically this one specific thing, but we can’t let the opportunity pass.

 

Okay, we know Our Lady’s appearing to Mirjana on March 18^th. We know that it’s Mirjana’s birthday, and we know that Mirjana herself said that was not the reason why Our Lady was appearing on this day. And she said—she herself said—that in the future we will know.

 

Just have to ask the question. What is it? [LAUGHTER]

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

What is the day, and what’s going to happen?

 

 

[COC]

 

What is it?

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Well, one thing we know that’s going to happen is something’s going to happen.

 

 

[LAUGHTER]

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

The fact that that’s going to happen is a great joy and an anticipation. I didn’t feel like today was going to be the day because we’re not ready, and I always want it to go off. It’s like paying a bad bill. You just…“Give us some more time,” you know, like Moses. “C’mon. Give these people…It’s a stiff-necked people.” We’re that way. I’m that way. Everybody…We’ve still got too much non-belief that needs to be purified out of us.

 

But I think tonight, as we end the show…And March 18^th is an important date. Marija has been given a salutation on her birthday, even a kiss for her birthday. Mirjana, up to at least, say, three or four years ago, has said that Our Lady’s never given a salutation. I can’t say in the last four years if that’s happened. But it’s not something that is for her, on her birthday. It’s for an event or some significance in the future that we will know on March 18^th.

 

So, is it the sign on the mountain? We don’t know. We can only speculate…and be wrong, because you’re not going to figure out God and what He’s going to do.

 

But we’re out of time. I do have one more song to play for you tonight, and as we play this, really contemplate this message today. It’s a powerful message, a beautiful message saying, telling us to let God be the Father. And if you don’t the consequences of that and rejecting Him as a Father, He becomes our Judge.

 

Read the Scriptures. Read the God of Sinai. We’re not going to continue in this depravity we’re in, the destruction of this society, the destruction of everything we know that brings us to life and goodness, to death and darkness, without the consequences catching up. And we’re in catch-up time. We’ve gone forty years. I mean, we’ve been going downhill. And Our Lady’s coming to warn us. The thermometer to measure us by is twenty-eight years of apparitions. I believe we’re going to go quite some time still in apparitions.

 

But anyway, we’ll end with this song about Our Lady and Her Son, about a man and his son, and contemplate this and how Her Son and hat He means to us and how desperately She wants us to come to Him.

 

 

[SONG]

 

I’m down on my knees again tonight. I’m hoping this prayer will turn out right. See there’s a boy that needs Your help. I’ve done all that I can do myself. His mother is tired. I’m sure You can understand. Each night as he sleeps, she goes in and holds his hand. And she tries not to cry as the tears fill her eyes.

 

Can You hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can You see him? Can You make him feel alright? If You can hear me, let me take his place somehow. See, he’s not just anyone. He’s my son.

 

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep. I dream of the boy he’d like to be. I try to be strong and see him through. But God Who he needs right now is You. Let him grow old, live life without this fear. What would I be living without him here? He’s so tired, and he’s scared. Let him know that You’re there.

 

Can You hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can You see him? Can You make him feel alright? If You can hear me, let me take his place somehow. See, he’s not just anyone. He’s my son.

 

Can You hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can You see him? Can You make him feel alright? If You can hear me, let me take his place somehow. See, he’s not just anyone…

 

Can You hear me? Can You see him? Please don’t leave him. He’s my son.

 

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

I want to say something to you to end this show, a fact, that if you pray for the gift of love, you will be calling Jesus to your soul.

 

Tonight, pray for the gift of love for these next days, because Our Lady said when you do that,

 

“…the soul [that] loves it calls my Son to itself…”

 

All you have to do is wish for that.

And so, we love you, and we wish you not only Jesus, but we wish you Our Lady. Good night.
