FEAST DAY OF THE FLAME OF LOVE

February 2 
The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, 
The Flame of Love


THE MIRACLE OF THE FLAME OF LOVE

“With this Flame full of graces that I give you from my heart, ignite all the hearts of the entire country. Let this flame go from heart to heart. This is the miracle becoming the blaze whose dazzling light will blind Satan. This is the fire of love of union which I obtained from the Heavenly Father through the merits of the wounds of my Divine Son.” _ Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindlemann, page 28.

On this great feast day, may we join together and call down these most powerful graces over our families, nations, and the entire world.


“Through this prayer, Satan will be blind
and souls will not be led into sin."


THE FLAME OF LOVE 
OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR FREEDOM FROM CURSES...


 
In the name of Jesus Christ, under the Mantle of Mary, through the intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, I place myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and submit to His Lordship. I “put on God's Armor so as to be able to resist the Devil's tactics.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)

I stand my ground “with Truth buckled around my waist and integrity for a breastplate.” (Ephesians 6:14)

I carry the “shield of Faith” to “put out the burning arrows of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:16)

I accept “Salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.” (Ephesians 6:17)

In the name of Jesus Christ crucified, died and risen, I bind all the spirits of the air, the atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, the underground, and the netherworld. I also bind the influence of any lost or fallen soul who may be present, and all emissaries of the Satanic headquarters or any coven of witches or warlocks or Satan worshipers who may be present in some preternatural way. I claim the Blood of Jesus on the air and atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground and their fruits all around us, the underground and the netherworld.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid every adversary mentioned to communicate with or help one another in any way, or to communicate with me, or to do anything at all except what I command in Jesus' Name.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I seal this place and all present and all family and associates of those present and their places and possessions and sources of supply in the Blood of Jesus. (Repeat three times.)

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid any lost spirits, covens, Satanic groups or emissaries or any of their associates, subjects or superiors to harm or take revenge on me, my family and my associates, or cause harm or damage to anything we have.

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the Merits of His Precious Blood, I break and dissolve every curse, hex, seal, spell, sorcery, bond, snare, trap, device, lie, stumbling block, obstacle, deception, diversion or distraction, spiritual chain or spiritual influence, also every disease of body, soul, mind or spirit placed upon us or on this place, or on any of the persons, places and things mentioned, by any agent, or brought on us by our own mistakes or sins. (Repeat three times.)

I now place the Cross of Jesus Christ between myself and all generations in my family tree. I say in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be no direct communication between the generations. All communication will be filtered through the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mary Immaculate, clothe me in the Light, Power and Energy of Your Faith. Father, please assign the Angels and Saints to assist me. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Wisdom, my Justice, my Sanctification, my Redemption. I surrender to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit, and receive Your Truth concerning intergeneration healing.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the Beginning, is now and ever shall be. AMEN.

WAR TO TAKE BACK AMERICA

2017

What we have in the United States is an "illusion of democracy." Presidents are not elected by the people; they are "selected" by the Deep State. (The faces change, but the policies remain the same.

Presidential elections in the United States are nothing more than "political theater" -- for a "dumbed down" electorate. But the 2016 Presidential election was unlike any other. 

IT WAS A REVOLUTION!

YOGA, TAI CHI & REIKI

The East seeks God in the self and seeks escape from the distractions of the outer world.

 
Yoga, Tai Chi and Reiki cannot be viewed as only being of benefit at the physical and emotional levels. Of their very nature, they draw a person into the spiritual realm.

"(These practices and techniques) rely not only on physical movement but engage a person in entering into an altered state of consciousness. Their powers derive from engagement with the spiritual world." _ Bishop Julian Porteous
 
When we "alter our state of consciousness" by practicing meditation and techniques linked to false eastern religions, we open our minds to demonic influences which can change our beliefs... and give us psychic powers common to Yoga, Tai Chi and Reiki.

And where do these psychic powers come from?
They come from the Devil.
 
“And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades
as an angel of light.”
(2 Corinthians 11:14)

Bethlehem, PA (2016) _ One night after a healing Mass, I noticed a young woman lying on the floor with a small group of people around her. When I saw her body shaking, I knew it was an evil spirit manifesting. I joined the group and attempted to drive out the evil spirit -- but what had worked in the past was not working here.

Finally... I turned to Jesus and asked for wisdom. He immediately answered, "Baptismal Promises." I spoke these words aloud, and the monsignor who was with us did the "Renewal of Baptismal Promises" with holy water. And this set the woman free.

After the deliverance, the woman told us that she had been a "Reiki Master." [Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist (i.e., Reiki Master) can "channel energy" (i.e., demonic power) into the patient "by means of touch," to activate the natural healing processes of the body and restore physical and emotional well-being.] The practice of Reiki had to be renounced before the young woman could be delivered!

~ * * * ~

A Personal Renewal of Baptismal Promises
 
Through the Paschal Mystery I have been buried with Christ in Baptism, that I may walk with Him in newness of life. And so, I now renew the promises of holy Baptism, which I once renounced Satan and his works, and promised to serve God in the holy Catholic Church.

And so I declare:

- I renounce sin, so as to live in the freedom of the children of God.
- I renounce the lure of evil, so that sin may have no mastery over me.
- I renounce Satan, the author and prince of sin.
- I renounce Satan, and all his works.
- I renounce Satan, and all evil spirits.
- I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
- I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered death and was buried, rose again from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
- I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

May almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given me new birth by water and the Holy Spirit and bestowed on me forgiveness of my sins, keep me by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord, for eternal life.

AMEN.
(Sprinkle yourself with holy water.)

OCCULT PRACTICE, WITCHCRAFT & SATANISM

A WARNING FOR EVERYONE

Do not love the world [all that is hostile toward God and alienated from Him] or the things of the world. [Love of the world and love of God are mutually exclusive (James 4:4).]
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust [“the lust of the flesh” (inordinate desire for physical gratification)], enticement for the eyes [“the lust of the eyes” (avarice or covetousness)], and a pretentious life [“the pride of life” (arrogance or willful independence from God and others)], is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.
(1 John 2:15-17)

The Devil will satisfy “the lust of the flesh.” The Devil will provide enticement for the eyes, the “windows to the soul.” The Devil will feed “the pride of life” -- causing one to abandon God and others.

It is the Devil who lures people (young and old) into witchcraft, Satanism and Occult practice. The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery and intrigue to people fighting boredom… he provides friendship and support for people in lonely, tragic circumstances… and he seduces people who are fascinated with the paranormal and the dark side of life.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. 
(1 Timothy 4:1)

For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. 
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)

PRAYERS FOR EXPELLING DEMONS


Prayer Against Malefice from the Greek Ritual

Kyrie eleison. [Lord have mercy.] God, our Lord, King of ages, All-powerful and Almighty, You Who made everything and Who transforms everything simply by Your will. You Who in Babylon changed into dew the flames of the “seven-times hotter” furnace and protected and saved the three holy children.

You are the doctor and the physician of our souls. You are the salvation of those who turn to You. We beseech You to make powerless, banish, and drive out every diabolic power, presence and machination; every evil influence, malefice, or evil eye and all evil actions aimed against Your servant _____.

Where there is envy and malice, give us an abundance of goodness, endurance, victory, and charity. O Lord, You Who love man, we beg You to reach out Your powerful hands and Your most high and mighty arms and send the angel of peace over us, to protect us, body and soul. May he keep at bay and vanquish every evil power, every poison or malice invoked against us by corrupt and envious people.

Then, under the protection of Your authority may we sing, in gratitude, “The Lord is my salvation; whom should I fear?” I will not fear evil because You are with me, my God, my strength, my powerful Lord, Lord of peace, Father of all ages.

Yes, Lord our God, be merciful to us, Your image, and save Your servant _____ from every threat or harm from the evil one and protect him/her by raising him/her above all evil. We ask You this through the intercession of our Most Blessed, glorious Lady, Mary ever Virgin, Mother of God, of the most splendid archangels and all Your saints. Amen.

~ * * * ~

Prayer Against Every Evil

Spirit of our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, angels, archangels, and saints of Heaven, descend upon me. Please purify me, O Lord; mold me, fill me with Yourself, and use me.

Banish all the forces of evil from me; destroy them, vanquish them, so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.

Banish from me all spells, curses, blood oaths, witchcraft, black magic, malefice, maledictions, unholy soul ties, and the evil eye. Banish from me all diabolic infestations, oppressions, and possessions. Banish from me all that is evil and sinful; envy, jealousy, deceitfulness, resentment, and un-forgiveness. Banish from me all physical, psychological, moral, spiritual, and diabolical ailments.

Burn all these evils in hell, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world.

I command and bid all the evil spirits, forces and powers that molest me -- by the All-powerful and Almighty God, in the Name of Jesus Christ Our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary -- to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell, where they will be bound by Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, our guardian angels, and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

~ * * * ~

Anima Christi

Anima Christi [Soul of Christ], sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

O good Jesus, hear me; within Your wounds, hide me; let me never be separated from You. From the evil one, deliver me; at the hour of my death, call me, and bid me come to You; that with Your saints, I may praise You forever and ever. Amen.

BLACK MASS, BAPHOMET AND DEVIL WORSHIP

BLACK MASS -- POLITICAL THEATRE IN AMERICA
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA


Oklahoma City is the beleaguered city where Satanists want to install a monument to Satan next to the Ten Commandments monument outside the Oklahoma State Capitol building.

"Striving to expand acceptance of beliefs in response to American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Concerns, 'The Satanic Temple,' based in New York City, offered to donate a public monument to Oklahoma's Capitol Preservation Commission for display upon Oklahoma City's capitol grounds. Described as an 'homage' to Satan, the purpose of the monument is to complement and contrast the 'Ten Commandments' monument that already resides on the North side of the building." _ The Satanic Temple (December 2, 2013)

September 21, 2014 _ The Satanic Temple performed a Black Mass at the Oklahoma City Civic Center. While over 400 Roman Catholics gathered to pray outside the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, over 1,200 attended a Holy Hour of Reparation with Archbishop Paul S. Coakley. Only 42 ticket holders showed up to attend the Black Mass.

THE UNVEILING OF BAPHOMET
Detroit, Michigan, USA



Detroit is the beleaguered city where The Satanic Temple has a significant following. Detroit was selected for the unveiling of a 9-foot-tall Baphomet monument.

July 25, 2015 _ Hundreds of people came out to celebrate The Satanic Temple's unveiling of the Baphomet monument. Most of these young people are just curious and looking for a little excitement. It's like Halloween in July: "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll" -- and some Satanism too.

BLACK MASS -- DEVIL WORSHIP IN MEXICO
Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico

 
March 13, 2015 _ This is where natives come to worship the Devil, and curious pilgrims come looking for a little excitement on the Dark Side. Live animals are sacrificed, the Devil is summoned, and people make pacts with the Devil. Curious pilgrims leave horrified by what they witness.

Curious pilgrims who attend this Black Mass will return home with a spiritual attachment. (Demons attach themselves to people, and people bring these demons home with them.) Doors have been opened -- and many will be terribly oppressed by demons. Some may be partially-possessed -- that is, having an evil spirit in one's body.

NOT BORN THIS WAY

The Devil attacks what is good and holy -- and perverts it. LGBT (that is, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) is the Devil’s perversion of human sexuality.

Asmodeus is the prince of demons representing one of the seven deadly sins. Asmodeus is the demon of lust that is responsible for twisting people’s sexual desires.

Metropolitan Community Church of New York

LGBT people are good people -- but they have been deceived… They were not born this way! The Devil tricks normal men and women into thinking and believing they are homosexual or bisexual... and demons of lust, homosexuality and sexual perversion build strongholds in their minds.

The attraction is lust -- not love. It is a demon that causes one to feel lust for -- and become sexually aroused by -- another person of the same sex.

 The one with the pitchfork says,
“God made you this way.”

As explained in Many Thoughts Are Spirits (http://catholicdeliverance.blogspot.com/2011/06/many-thoughts-are-spirits.html) thoughts come from three places: the subconscious mind, God and the Devil. The spiritual war takes place in the minds of men and women. Both angels and demons can place thoughts in our minds. They can also project images on our minds.
 
Sex demons can invade our dreams with pornographic fantasies of having sexual relations -- even with members of the same sex!

Demons tempt many people with shameful, degrading, unnatural passions; they tempt them to commit “sins against nature.” Everything is turned upside down! The “sin of the Sodomites” (homosexual sexual activity) is one of the sins that “cries to heaven” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1867).

Temptation is to be resisted (James 4:7). The majority of people reject “same-sex” thoughts with little effort -- but a minority of people act on them. Some people are more vulnerable in this area of their lives than others. For them, “same-sex” temptations become too difficult to resist. And evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to.

The teaching of the Catholic Church regarding homosexual sexual activity as morally disordered -- constituting grave sin and against the Natural Law which binds all human beings -- is clear.

Once these homosexual temptations and perverted sexual fantasies are yielded to, explored, acted on… a door is opened -- consent is given -- and demons of lust, homosexuality... and sexual perversion can invade and inhabit one's body. This is what I refer to as "partial" possession: One's "sexuality" is now under the control of demons.

Men give up (exchange) natural, sexual relations with women and burn with lust for one another; women give up (exchange) natural, sexual relations with men and burn with lust for one another (Romans 1:26-27). Everything is turned upside down!

LGBT people are good people -- but they have been deceived… They were not born this way! All LGBT people are in need of deliverance -- and inner healing.

Eternal Father,
Please give all LGBT people
the graces of True Repentance
and Conversion to Your Son Jesus.
Give them the grace to experience
Your Love,
and be transformed by it.
Amen.

GOD OF MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS AND JEWS?

Arabic-speaking Muslims who convert to Christianity often refer to the One True God as “Allah” -- despite the fact that they recognize the differences between the nature and revelation of God as described in the Bible and the nature and revelation of God as described in the Qu’ran. [For example, the doctrine of the Holy Trinity (Matthew 28:19.)]

 
NOSTRA AETATE,
“Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions”

#3. _ The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems (Muslims). They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.

Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems (Muslims), this sacred synod (sancta synodus) urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom. _ Pope Paul VI (October 28, 1965).

NOTE: When the Bishops of the whole world are congregated under the presidency of the Pope, the synod (council) is denominated ecumenical or general. It is only to such an assembly that it is lawful to apply the term “sancta synodus” (sacred synod) _ New Advent, Catholic Encyclopedia

The further away people of other faiths are from the fullness of the Catholic faith, the more their understanding of God will be defective, and at times some people with a severely defective understanding of God may cross over into the worship of idols and demons... The more they reject Jesus Christ, the fullness of the revelation of God, the more defective their relationship with God will be... Consequently, we must engage in sympathetic, pro-active and compassionate missionary activity. _ Fr. Dwight Longenecker

RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM:
ISLAMIC STATE IS SATANIC
 
 
Note: "ISIS" (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is now called "ISIL" (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- which includes Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and parts of Turkey).

Rome, Italy (April 15, 2015) _ In a recent Facebook post, well-known Roman exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth said the Islamic State (ISIS) “is Satan,” and he also questioned the lack of response from Western nations.

“ISIS is Satan. Things first happen in the spiritual realms, then they are made concrete on this earth,” he said in an April 8 post on the social media website.

Father Amorth continued, “there are only two spiritual realms: The Holy Spirit and the demonic spirit.”

He said the demonic enters in “because evil is disguised in various ways: political, religious, cultural, and it has one source of inspiration: the Devil. As a Christian I fight the beast spiritually.

“The political world, which today seems to lack a response in face of the massacre of Christians, will also have to fight ISIS and it will do it in a different way. If it advances as it seems to be doing, we ask ourselves what has the West done over the course of the last decades.”

The priest, who founded the International Association of Exorcists, explained that Satan “keeps saying that the world is in his power, and what he says is true. Biblically speaking we are in the last days and the beast is working furiously.

ISIS took control of the largest Christian city in Iraq, Qaraqosh, in August last year, causing tens of thousands of people to flee.

The terrorist group has persecuted and murdered Christians and other religious minorities in parts of Syria and Iraq.

Fr. Amorth, age 90, has performed over 70,000 exorcisms during the past 29 years. The number is so high because carrying out an exorcism can require multiple sessions and each time the rite is administered it is counted as one instance.

Fr. Amorth has previously spoken about the danger posed by people no longer believing in the Devil, as well as a shortage of exorcists.

JUBILEE OF MERCY

There are many alleged prophets in the Church today. Mark Mallett is the only one I support.

THE GREAT LIBERATION

By Mark Mallett, a prophetic voice in the Catholic Church
Spiritual Food for Thought, March 24, 2015



MANY feel that Pope Francis’ announcement declaring a "Jubilee of Mercy" from Dec. 8th, 2015 to Nov. 20th, 2016 bears greater significance than may first appear. The reason being is that it is one of numerous signs converging all at once. That hit home for me this past weekend as I reflected on the Jubilee and a prophetic word I received at the end of 2008, seven years ago…


THE UNFOLDING…

I will repeat it here for those who have not read it. On the eve of the Feast of the Holy Mother of God (New Year’s Eve) of 2007, I sensed the presence of Our Lady in my room and heard in my heart the words:

This is the Year of The Unfolding...

Those words were followed in the spring of 2008 by these:

Very quickly now.

The sense was that events around the world were going to unfold very rapidly. I saw, as it were, three "orders" collapse, one upon the other like dominoes: The economy, then the social, then the political order.

In the autumn of 2008, as we all know, the financial "bubble" burst, and economies built on illusions began to crumble, and continue to. All the talk in the mainstream media of "recovery" is nothing but sheer nonsense, if not propaganda. The only reason that the world’s economy has not completely cratered is that nations are printing money out of thin air.


 
"We are in a world that is dangerously unanchored," said William White, the Swiss-based chairman of the OECD’s Review Committee… He said the global elastic has been stretched even further than it was in 2008 on the eve of the Great Recession. The excesses have reached almost every corner of the globe… "We are holding a tiger by the tail." _ "Central bank prophet fears QE warfare pushing world financial system out of control", January 20th, 2015 [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11358316/Central-bank-prophet-fears-QE-warfare-pushing-world-financial-system-out-of-control.html]

That is to say that what began in 2008 continues to unfold.


THE SHEMITAH JUBILEE

There are only a handful of books that my spiritual director has asked me to read over the years and The Harbinger was one of them. It’s author, Jonathan Cahn, makes a compelling case that the attacks of 9/11, the collapse of 2008 and the pattern of biblical "jubilees," which occur every seven years, are providing a warning to this generation of impending judgment in the absence of repentance. Cahn draws from several Scriptures that show a pattern leading up to judgment that remarkably follows a pattern unfolding today, particularly in the United States.


I find confirmation in Cahn’s work for two reasons in particular: one is the significance of the United States in these times that I wrote about in Mystery Babylon [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/mystery-babylon/] and The Fall of Mystery Babylon [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-fall-of-mystery-babylon/]. The second is that it is now seven years since I heard Our Lady speak of 2008 as the Year of the Unfolding. And Cahn believes that this coming jubilee, or "shemitah" as the Jews call it, is significant.

The reason, he says, is that these seven year cycles have, in the past, been connected to major events ‘including the rise of America to superpower status, World Wars I and II, the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, the Six-Day War, etc… He also noted a pattern of judgments at seven-year intervals in September 2001 and 2008 marked by the greatest crashes in Wall Street history, up to that time. The first occurred on Sept. 17, 2001, just a few days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the second occurred on Sept. 29, 2008. Both occurred on the biblical day of Elul 29, the very day appointed to wipe out the financial accounts of a nation. The next one occurs on Sept. 13, 2015.’ 

In that regard, Cahn has issued a warning without gluing himself to dates.

Whether it comes in this time parameter of the Shemitah or the year following or not, I believe a great shaking is going to come to this land and to the world that will involve the collapsing of the American economy … and the removal of its blessings and prosperity… The shaking doesn’t have to take place in the Shemitah (year), but I believe we need to be ready._ "The Shemitah Unraveled: What 2015-2016 Could Bring", March 10th, 2015 [http://www.charismanews.com/world/48667-the-shemitah-unraveled-what-2015-2016-could-bring]

But one doesn’t have to be a prophet to recognize that the world is beset by serious instability at this time, most especially economically [see 2014 and the Rising Beast (http://www.markmallett.com/blog/2014-and-the-rising-beast/).


FRANCIS AND THE SHEMITAH

On top of all this, Pope Francis declared an "extraordinary" Jubilee year starting this December. [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/opening-wide-the-doors-of-mercy/] In the Old Testament, the jubilee (and it’s debated whether it occurred in the seventh year, or following it) was intended to be a time when debts were released, slaves were set free, and the land would rest. It was essentially a time of mercy.

As the world creaks under the weight of its sins, Francis’ declaration of a Year of Mercy at this hour has not been lost on those who are aware of St. Faustina’s writings where Jesus declares:


…before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice… I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of [sinners]... _ Divine Mercy in My Soul, Diary of St. Faustina, #1146, 1160

Pope Francis acknowledged that we are indeed living at this moment in a time of mercy.

…hear the voice of the Spirit speaking to the whole Church of our time, which is the time of mercy. I am sure of this. _ POPE FRANCIS, Vatican City, March 6th, 2014

There are several other writings of mine converging at this moment as well. I wish to draw them together as simply as possible because they all point to a divine "jubilee," as I’ll explain. I am not suggesting that they are going to occur in the aforementioned time frame, but nonetheless, perhaps all of this is preparation for these coming events that seem to point toward a great liberation of souls…


THE GREAT LIBERATION

I have written about a coming "Illumination of Conscience" or "warning" or "mini-judgment" or "great shaking." They all mean essentially the same thing, as confirmed by several mystics and saints in the Church:


I pronounced a great day… wherein the terrible Judge should reveal all men’s consciences and try every man of each kind of religion. This is the day of change, this is the Great Day which I threatened, comfortable to the well-being, and terrible to all heretics. _ St. Edmund Campion, Cobett’s Complete Collection of State Trials, Vol. I, p. 1063.

St. Faustina experienced this "illumination" herself:

Suddenly I saw the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is displeasing to God. I did not know that even the smallest transgressions will have to be accounted for. What a moment! Who can describe it? To stand before the Thrice-Holy-God! _ St. Faustina; Divine Mercy in My Soul, Diary of St. Faustina

Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769-1837), known and respected by popes for her astoundingly accurate visions, also spoke of such an event.

She indicated that this illumination of conscience would result in the saving of many souls because many would repent as a result of this "warning"… this miracle of "self-illumination." _ Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi in Antichrist and the End Times, P. 36

In the approved messages to Elizabeth Kindelmann, Our Lady says:


It will be the Great Miracle of light blinding Satan… The torrential flood of blessings about to jolt the world must begin with the small number of the most humble souls. _ Our Lady to Elizabeth, www.theflameoflove.org

And more recently, Servant of God Maria Esperanza (1928-2004) said,

The consciences of this beloved people must be violently shaken so that they may "put their house in order"… A great moment is approaching, a great day of light… it is the hour of decision for mankind. _ Ibid, P. 37 (Volumne 15-n.2, Featured Article from www.sign.org)

As I wrote in The Seven Seals of Revolution [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-seven-seals-of-revolution/] regarding the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation, following the collapse of world peace (second seal) and the economy (third seal), etc. there comes what sounds very much like a "great shaking" of consciences in the sixth seal after a "great earthquake":

They cried out to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of their wrath has come and who can withstand it?" (Rev 6:12-17)

Now, here is where a "jubilee" and the Illumination begin to come together. In Revelation 12, we read of an event where St. Michael the Archangel casts out of the "heavens" the dragon. (Rev 12:7-9) It is an exorcism of Satan. [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/exorcism-of-the-dragon/] But St. John’s vision is not referring to the ancient expulsion of Lucifer from Heaven, for the context is clearly with regard to the age of those who "bear witness to Jesus" (Rev 12:17). Rather, "heaven" likely refers to a spiritual realm over the earth -- the firmament or heavens (cf. Gen 1:1):

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. (Eph 6:12)

Here, St. John seems to be speaking of an incredible breaking of Satan’s power over the world. For if we are speaking of an "illumination" of consciences, what does light do when it comes? It scatters the darkness. I believe we are going to see incredible healings, powerful deliverances, huge awakenings, and profound repentance as an ocean of mercy washes over the world -- as the door of mercy is opened wide. In other words, what Matthew wrote in his Gospel:

"…the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death, light has arisen." From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matt 4:16-17)

The culture of death will see a great light, the light of truth, and from that time on there will be a great evangelization resulting in a great liberation of many, many souls. Indeed, next St. John sees the marking of foreheads with the "seal of the living God." It’s as though this great shaking is the last opportunity to choose sides, which is why, perhaps, we read that the seventh seal is a kind of divine pause [Rev 8:1] -- the "eye of the Storm" passing over the world before the last half of divine judgment.



BEING PREPARED


This rescue, this "jubilee of mercy," is what I believe you, dear reader, are being prepared for -- whenever it comes. I want to repeat a powerful word that came to me five years ago while I was with my spiritual director: [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/hope-is-dawning/] 

Little ones, do not think that because you, the remnant, are small in number means that you are special. Rather, you are chosen. You are chosen to bring the Good News to the world at the appointed hour. This is the Triumph for which my Heart awaits with great anticipation. All is set now. All is in motion. The hand of my Son is ready to move in the most sovereign way. Pay careful attention to my voice. I am preparing you, my little ones, for this Great Hour of Mercy. Jesus is coming, coming as Light, to awaken souls steeped in darkness. For the darkness is great, but the Light is far greater. When Jesus comes, much will come to light, and the darkness will be scattered. It is then that you will be sent, like the Apostles of old, to gather souls into my Motherly garments. Wait. All is ready. Watch and pray. Never lose hope, for God loves everyone.

Think too of those words given at Rome in the presence of Paul VI in St. Peter’s Square on Pentecost Monday of May, 1975: [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-prophecy-at-rome/

A time of darkness is coming on the world, but a time of glory is coming for my Church, a time of glory is coming for my people. I will pour out on you all the gifts of my Spirit. I will prepare you for spiritual combat; I will prepare you for a time of evangelism that the world has never seen…. _ given by Ralph Martin

Is this why, after the exorcism of the dragon, St. John hears a loud voice in Heaven cry out…

Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night… (Rev 12:10) 

But as you read on in that chapter, you’ll see that, while Satan’s power is broken, it is not chained -- yet. [The chaining of Satan for an era of peace occurs in Rev 20:1-3 after the death of "the beast."] Instead, it is concentrated in "the beast." This is why it is perhaps very appropriate to say that the coming Illumination is a "warning" -- the Storm is not over.

But as a warning, for a short time they were terrorized, though they had a sign of salvation, to remind them of the precept of your law. For the one who turned toward it was saved… (Wis 16:6-7)

As an important sidenote, if Medjugorje [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/on-medjugorje/] is authentic -- and the Vatican continues to discern it -- the "secrets" of the alleged seers seems related to the above as well. I quote again here the interview of American attorney Jan Connell with alleged seer, Mirjana:

Concerning this century, is it true that the Blessed Mother related a dialogue to you between God and the devil? In it… God allowed the devil one century in which to exercise extended power, and the devil chose these very times.
The visionary answered "Yes", citing as proof the great divisions we see particularly among families today. Connell asks:

J: Will the fulfillment of the secrets of Medjugorje break the power of Satan?

M: Yes.
J: How?
M: That is part of the secrets.
J: Can you tell us anything [regarding the secrets]?
M: There will be events on the earth as warning to the world before the visible sign is given to humanity.
J: Will these happen in your lifetime?
M: Yes, I will be a witness to them.
_ p. 23, 21; Queen of the Cosmos (Paraclete Press, 2005, Revised Edition)

The Hour of Medjugorje when the secrets are revealed, then, may also be drawing nearer.


THE CONVERGENCE COMES

Brothers and sisters, as I wrote this morning in the Now Word [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/gods-timing/] the essential thing is to live in the present moment, faithfully and attentively, so that God can do in us everything He wants to. My intention above is not to speculate on a time-frame, but to simply underscore the convergence of many prophetic words [see also Opening Wide the Doors of Mercy (http://www.markmallett.com/blog/opening-wide-the-doors-of-mercy/) to read how Fatima and Pope Leo XIII’s vision are converging at this hour also]. All these things could simply mean that we are entering a period of time whose limits are known to God alone. You know, I used to panic for the first five years of this writing apostolate, terrified that I would mislead my readers, terrified that the words coming to me were delusional. Then one day my spiritual director said to me, "Look, you’re already a fool for Christ. If you’re wrong, then you’ll be a fool for Christ with egg on your face." I can live with that. I can’t live with being silent when the Lord has asked me to speak.

Certainly, one could say that another "sign of the times" is the exponentially increasing sense among the faithful (and even unbelievers) that we are headed toward great upheaval. The coming Jubilee may very well come and go like any other year. However, economists, war strategists, those following infectious diseases, the rise of ISIS, the power shift to China, the military muscle of Russia, and the war against freedom in the Western world… seem to paint a picture that looks an awful lot like the breaking open of the seals of Revelation. [http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-seven-seals-of-revolution/]

And the sixth seal has to be opened at some point…

THE THREE HEAVENS

THREE ORDERS OF REALITY

There are three orders of reality. There is the divine existence. Just below that is the preternatural world, the world of spirits. Then there’s the natural world, where we live. But human beings also participate in the preternatural. Some people are more attuned to the preternatural world. “They kind of sense things better. Things like demons.” _ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.


FIRST HEAVEN _ The Earth (and Atmosphere)

For then the anger of the LORD will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. (Deuteronomy 11:17)

First heaven is the natural world -- where human beings live, and also participate in the preternatural world.
 
First heaven is where we fight against “the world rulers of this present darkness” (Ephesians 6:12). This is where we fight against the Devil and the fallen angels (demons) that were “thrown down to earth” (Revelation 12:9).


SECOND HEAVEN _ Between Earth (Natural World) and Paradise (Divine Existence)

Second heaven is the preternatural world -- the world of spirits (angels and demons).

“Daniel, beloved,” he (Archangel Gabriel) said to me, “understand the words which I am speaking to you; stand up, for my mission now is to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up trembling.

“Do not fear, Daniel,” he continued; “from the first day you made up your mind to acquire understanding and humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard. Because of it I started out (from third heaven, God's dwelling place), but (while passing through second heaven) the (angelic) prince of the kingdom of Persia stood in my way for twenty-one days, until finally (Archangel) Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia, and came (to first heaven, man's dwelling place) to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the last days; for there is yet a vision concerning those days.”

... Soon (upon returning to third heaven) I must fight the (angelic) prince of Persia again (while passing through second heaven). When I leave, the (angelic) prince of Greece will come... No one supports me (in my battles) against these (angelic princes of Persia and Greece) except Michael, your prince (guardian angel of Israel; and, guardian and defender of the Church of Jesus Christ). (Daniel 10:11-14;20-21)

~ * * * ~

God did not spare the angels when they sinned (against Him), but condemned them to the chains of Tartarus (the infernal regions) and handed them over to be kept for judgment. (2 Peter 2:4)

First, St. Michael and his angels cast Archangel Lucifer and the rebellious angels out of third heaven (Paradise).

Then, St. Michael and his angels cast Satan (Fallen Lucifer) and the fallen angels (now demons) out of second heaven.

Then war broke out in (second) heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth (first heaven), and its angels were thrown down with it. (Revelation 12:7-9)

Revelation 12 does not refer to “the fall of the angels” before the creation of man (when these created spirits radically and irrevocably rejected God and His reign). We are now living the 12th chapter of Revelation.

Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)


THIRD HEAVEN _ Paradise (Highest Heaven)

Third heaven is the divine existence -- God's dwelling place (the highest heaven, the place of God's enthronement).

Listen to the petition of your servant and of your people Israel which they offer toward this place. Listen, from the place of your enthronement, heaven, listen and forgive. (1 Kings 8:30)

Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights. Praise him, all you his angels; give praise, all you his hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all shining stars. Praise him, highest heavens, you waters above the heavens. (Psalm 148:1-4)

So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. (Mark 16:19)

I know someone in Christ who, fourteen years ago (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows), was caught up to the third heaven. And I know that this person (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up into Paradise and heard ineffable things, which no one may utter. (2 Corinthians 2-4)
