SPIRITUAL WARFARE SEMINAR

Introduction

In 1990, I was delivered from a spirit of Fear at a retreat house in Oakland, CA. This is when my lay apostolate was born. I served in the healing ministry under the oversight of the Bishop's Liaison for Catholic Charismatics in the Diocese of Oakland. I soon discovered that "deliverance" is part of God's healing ministry. The "charism" that heals also delivers.

The sad truth is that most Catholics know very little about deliverance and spiritual warfare. The purpose of this Spiritual Warfare Seminar is to share some of what God has taught me over the years.

"What has worked for me will also work for you." -GS

THE FLAME OF LOVE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

THE FLAME OF LOVE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY


“The elect souls will have to fight the Prince of Darkness. It will be a frightening storm -- no, not a storm, but a hurricane devastating everything! He even wants to destroy the faith and confidence of the elect. I will always be beside you in the storm that is now brewing. I am your mother. I can help you and I want to! You will see everywhere the light of my Flame of Love sprouting out like a flash of lightning illuminating Heaven and earth, and with which I will inflame even the dark and languid souls! But what sorrow it is for me to have to watch so many of my children throw themselves in hell!” _ From the Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth Kindelmann (1913-1985); approved by Cardinal Peter Erdo of Hungary.


Through the Flame of Love, the Blessed Virgin Mary asks us to take part in the blinding of Satan, the source of all evil, in order to prevent him from harming souls.

The Prayer of Jesus (The Unity Prayer)

My Adorable Jesus,
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to
the silence
together.
May our glances
profoundly
penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to
gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
Amen.

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

And insert this prayer in your daily rosary: “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

“From now on, any time you pray to me, add the following request:
‘Mother of God, spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.’
With this prayer, you will blind Satan.”

[The "effect of grace" includes: the conversion of sinners, the blinding of Satan, the New Pentecost, and whatever other gifts God will give to His Church and humanity through His Mother.]

THE FLAME OF LOVE & THE GREAT SPIRITUAL COMBAT

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

There is not any doubt that we live an era of a very important spiritual combat which is taking place between the invisible forces of good and evil. The souls are the object and the theatre of this important combat. The ferocity of this combat is completely obvious, but it is much more for the children of the Light, this multitude of those who fight, sometimes in a heroic way, in order to persevere and to progress on the narrow way, that of holiness.

The forces of evil, guided by Satan, are fiercely and relentlessly unleashing against the children of God. By all the means at their disposal, they are bursting out by deceitfully perverting and by undermining at their bases all the foundations which, for two thousand years, have constituted the edifice of our faith and Christian morals established by Christ, and thereafter by His Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

As we can see, a new system promoting values contrary to those taught by Christ is set up. And the examples are numerous!

In the light of what precedes, should we deduct that evil progresses much faster than good? Saint Paul tells us that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. And this is precisely where the Flame of Love intervenes in this combat.

For the Flame of Love is an admirable grace that Heaven puts at our disposal, particularly in those times we live in. It is certainly not by chance that this grace was revealed to Elizabeth Kindelmann right at the beginning of the Sixties of the last century. This period saw the beginning of the great spiritual rout of a large number of countries. Whatever the reasons, the result was identical everywhere: the start of a revolt against the two-thousand-year-old values of these civilizations based on Christianity. From these years onwards, the offensive of the forces of darkness took such an important scale that the result is felt cruelly in the new generations, deprived of the knowledge of the Gospel of Salvation. The Flame of Love is truly the invaluable armor with which, certain of its power, we can with confidence face evil in all its forms. The peculiarity of the Flame of Love is to blind Satan by removing his harmful power. Elizabeth Kindelmann relates the following in her Spiritual Diary: "In the evening, it is in vain that I retired to bed. I could not find rest and sleep did not close my eyes. An enormous buzz invaded my head and, after a few moments, I heard a sound similar to that of an ominous siren. A terrifying smoke started to spiral up in which unrecognizable figures were moaning, jostling and staggering, terrorizing each other. Amid the smoke rising up in spiral appeared an enormous figure that I could not see because of the grayish smoke, but I could feel it was Satan. With a frightening howl, he shouted for help: he did not know what to do. His resistance was weakening, all his tricks failed, and all his attempts proved to be vain. It lasted only a few minutes. Then, the grace of God strengthened in me the conscience that the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin must ignite, for it will shake the powers of hell." (The Spiritual Diary, February 1, 1963)

This is what the grace of the Flame of Love produces because Heaven wanted to confer to it this particular power. Are we conscious of this force which is conferred to us? Do we use it? If we do not make use of it now, when will we do it?

If you are aware of the power of the Flame of Love but do not make use of it, why not begin today with a greater determination to set to work its power in order to save souls, so dear to the Lord Jesus.

The Lord Jesus said to Elizabeth Kindelmann in her Spiritual Diary: "My dear soul, wish Me many souls! This is My only prayer: Souls! Oh, souls! How I languish for them!" (August 15, 1964)

... When we take part in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, if we are in a state of grace, the Evil one is blinded, and the plenitude of the graces is transmitted to the soul for which we offer the Holy Mass. The Blessed Virgin: "If you attend a Holy Mass which is not an obligation for you, and if you are in a state of grace before God, I will spread the Flame of Love of My Heart and I will blind Satan during this time. My graces will run out abundantly on the souls for which you offer this Holy Mass. The participation in the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass increases to the highest degree the blindness of Satan." (November 22, 1962)

THE FLAME OF LOVE MESSAGES

 
GATHERING AN ARMY
 
From Jesus to Elizabeth: "All are invited to join my special fighting force. The coming of my Kingdom must be your only purpose in life. My words will reach a multitude of souls. Trust! -- I will help all of you in a miraculous way." He continued, "Do not love comfort. Do not be cowards. Do not wait. Confront the storm to save souls. Give yourself to the work. If you do nothing, you abandon the earth to Satan and to sin. Open your eyes and see all the dangers that claim victims and threaten your own souls."
 
POURING OUT THE FLAME
 
…Our Lady spoke, "My Flame of Love is burning. It is so great that I cannot keep it any longer within me. It leaps out of you with explosive power. When it pours out, my love will destroy the satanic hatred that contaminates the world. The greatest number of souls will be set free. Nothing like this has existed before. This is my greatest miracle that I will do for all. My words are crystal clear. Do not misinterpret them. Otherwise, you would be responsible. Act quickly, do not postpone my Cause for another day." Satan looked on with his arms folded. He senses that the Flame of Love is already lit. This produced his terrible fury.
 
DESCRIBING THE FLAME
 
Our lady continued, "Enter into battle. My Flame of Love will blind Satan to the degree that you spread it to the whole world. This Flame will work miracles in their hearts. They will communicate this miracle to others. No need for this miracle to be authenticated. I will authenticate the miracle in each soul. All will recognize the outpouring of the Flame of Love.
 
While saying this, Our Lady enlightened me about the mystery of the Word Became Flesh and spoke, "Always seek humility. Distance yourself from those who honor you." Then, the Lord spoke, "Have confidence. Always refer to the Flame of Love. The three divine persons are obligated to my Mother. All graces sought through her will be received. Her love warms the hearts of frozen souls."
 
THE IMPORTANT PETITION
 
"When you pray the Hail Mary, include the following petition, Spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity."
 
When the bishop asked why this should be done, Jesus explained, "Because of the Holy Virgin’s efficacious pleas, the Most Blessed Trinity granted the outpouring of the Flame of Love. For her sake, you must place this prayer in the Hail Mary."
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
BLINDING SATAN
 
…She allowed me to experience the effects of the grace of her Flame of Love, for myself and all of Hungary. She said, "Satan has been blinded for some hours now. He has lost power. It is especially the sin of lust that covers so many victims. The evil spirits are frightened and inactive. They do not understand what has happened. Satan has stopped giving them orders. Souls are free from his power. Tomorrow, when they awaken, millions will seek a conversion" She allowed me to see what these souls are experiencing.
 
PRAYER GIVEN BY JESUS TO ELIZABETH


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

TO THE LUKEWARM

In another message, He said, "To you who are lukewarm. How can I gain your attention? You no longer come to me in confidence. You are content with the passing things of earth, when I want you to come to me." After this, Jesus said to me, "Record my complaints. Perhaps, when they read it, their hard hearts will be inflamed. I wish I had to complain only about a few."

PUTTING OUT SATAN’S FIRE

…Jesus continued, "If a fire begins, do not people put it out? Why do you not put out Satan’s fire? How many look on in cowardice? They will be responsible. They close their eyes and let souls be condemned. Oh, consecrated souls do not be lazy. Laziness is the root of every evil in your soul. It leads to despair, and you are unaware of its presence."

Jesus then spoke of my (Elizabeth’s) martyrdom, "Your inner martyrdom is My Will and Satan cannot stop it. This inner battle brings forth great fruit, just as external martyrdom does. You must never be halfhearted."

THE FAMILY

Our Lady also spoke, "Hungarian families are torn apart. With my Flame of Love, I want the home to come alive again with love. I want to unite scattered families. Help me! My Flame of Love being lit depends on you."

OUR LADY’S PROMISE

Then, Our Lady spoke, "I grant your request. If at any moment, someone prays three Hail Marys in my honor, while referring to the Flame of Love, they will free a soul from purgatory..."

On another occasion, the Blessed Mother promised, "If people assist at Mass without any obligation and are in God’s grace, I will pour out the Flame of Love and blind Satan during Mass. When Satan is blinded, he can do nothing. Participating in Mass helps the most in blinding Satan. He knows his downfall is near.

HOW MANY SOULS ARE CONDEMNED?

…while I was working, the Virgin spoke. "You are a mother. What if your six children were condemned to hell? What sorrow would you experience! Likewise, what torments I experience to see so many of my children fall into hell. Help me!" My heart cringed with sorrow.

THE WARNING & THE FLAME OF LOVE


The Warning (Illumination of Conscience) is a critical moment in human history when every person alive will see their soul in the light of divine truth. 


Through The Flame of Love, the Blessed Virgin Mary asks us to take part in the blinding of Satan, the source of all evil, in order to prevent him from harming souls. 

"The earth has been covered in darkness because of the lack of faith in the soul of humanity and therefore will experience a great jolt. Following that, people will believe. This jolt, by the power of faith, will create a new world. Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because 'nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.' The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of intercession of the Blessed Virgin." _ Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann

THE FLAME OF LOVE & THE COMING EFFECT OF GRACE

From an article posted by Mark Mallett
on December 21, 2017


In the remarkable approved revelations to Elizabeth Kindelmann, a Hungarian woman who was widowed at the age of thirty-two with six children, Our Lord reveals an aspect of the “Triumph of the Immaculate Heart” that is coming.

"The Lord Jesus had a really deep conversation with me. He asked me to urgently take the messages to the bishop. (It was March 27, 1963, and I did that.) He spoke to me at length about the time of grace and the Spirit of Love quite comparable to the first Pentecost, flooding the earth with its power. That will be the great miracle drawing the attention of all humanity. All that is the effusion of the effect of grace of the Blessed Virgin’s Flame of Love. The earth has been covered in darkness because of the lack of faith in the soul of humanity and therefore will experience a great jolt. Following that, people will believe. This jolt, by the power of faith, will create a new world. Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because 'nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.' The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of intercession of the Blessed Virgin." __ The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary: The Spiritual Diary (2898-2899).

[Pope Francis gave his Apostolic Blessing upon the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement on June 19, 2013.]

Several times throughout her diary, the Blessed Virgin or Jesus speak of the “Flame of love” and the “effect of grace” that will eventually change the course of humanity. The Flame is understood as Jesus Christ himself. But what is the “effect of grace”?

If we think of the coming of Jesus like the rising of the sun at dawn, then the “effect of grace” is like the first ray of dawn or the subtle haze that crests the horizon. And with that first light there comes a sense of hope and anticipation of the triumph over the darkness of night.

… the best example of the “effect of grace” at work (is) when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45): When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb… at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”

Neither Elizabeth nor the unborn infant, John the Baptist, saw Jesus. But Mary, “full of grace”, whose womb was the tabernacle of God, became a vessel of her Son’s presence. Through her, Elizabeth and John experienced the “effect of grace”. It is this kind of “effect” that is coming upon humanity, through Mary’s children primarily, that will bind Satan’s power. But not until the world passes through a Great Storm.

"And I, the beautiful ray of dawn, I will blind Satan. I will free this world darkened by hatred and contaminated by the sulfurous and steaming lava of Satan. The air which gave life to souls has become suffocating and deadly. No dying soul should be damned. My Flame of Love is already lighting up. You know, my little one, the elect will have to fight against the Prince of Darkness. It will be a terrible storm. Rather, it will be a hurricane which will want to destroy the faith and confidence of even the elect. In this terrible turmoil currently brewing up, you will see the brightness of my Flame of Love illuminating Heaven and earth by the effusion of its effect of grace I am passing on to souls in this dark night." __ Our Lady to Elizabeth, The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary: The Spiritual Diary (2994-2997).

But now is a time of waiting, fasting and prayer. It is the time of the “Upper Room” when, gathered with Our Lady, we await this “new Pentecost” that the popes have been praying for this past century...

It is the hour when we must shake ourselves from our indifference and disbelief, and prepare for what has been foretold for centuries.

"The great storm is coming, and it will carry away indifferent souls who are consumed by laziness. The great danger will erupt when I take away my hand of protection. Warn everyone, especially the priests, so they are shaken out of their indifference." __ Jesus to Elizabeth, The Flame of Love (page 77), Imprimatur by Archbishop Charles Chaput

It is the hour to enter the Ark of Our Lady’s heart: "My Mother is Noah’s Ark…" __ The Flame of Love (page 109), Imprimatur Archbishop Charles Chaput

"The grace from the Flame of Love of My Mother’s Immaculate Heart will be to your generation what Noah’s Ark was to his generation." __ Our Lord to Elizabeth Kindelmann, The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary: The Spiritual Diary (page 294).

As the papal theologian for Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II, confirmed: "Yes, a miracle was promised at Fatima, the greatest miracle in the history of the world, second only to the Resurrection. And that miracle will be an era of peace which has never really been granted before to the world." __ Cardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi (October 9, 1994), The Apostolate’s Family Catechism (page 35).

"We humbly implore the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete, that He may 'graciously grant to the Church the gifts of unity and peace,' and may renew the face of the earth by a fresh outpouring of His charity for the salvation of all." __ Pope Benedict XV, Pacem Dei Munus Pulcherrimum (May 23, 1920).

Yes, Come Holy Spirit, come quickly! Come Lord Jesus, You who are the Flame of Love, and dispel the cold and darkness of this night with your loving presence and the “effect of grace” radiating from Our Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Heart...
(End)

PRAYER TO RECEIVE THE FLAME OF LOVE


This prayer begins with a renewal of the Baptismal promises:

Do you renounce Satan? 
- I do.
Do you renounce all his works? 
- I do.
Do you renounce all his seductions? 
- I do.
Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth? 
- I do.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died and was buried? 
- I do.
Do you believe that Jesus descended into hell; and on the third day rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty? 
- I do.
Do you 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? 
- I do.

Imagine yourself clothed in white garments, a symbol of your Baptism and of your future life in heaven with the saints and angels.

Imagine an enormous Fire. You enter into that Fire. Do not be afraid. The Fire is Jesus Himself, The Flame of Love. You are not alone; Mary is with you. You are in the deepest part of Her Heart, immersed in her Flame of Love. Mary fills you with great desires so that you want to receive more and more of this Flame, surrender to the Flame and to have Him consume your whole life.

This Flame (Jesus Himself) is the pearl of great price, the treasure hidden in the field, the whole purpose of your life. Allow the Flame to enter your being. Allow Jesus to fill your imagination and memory. Close your eyes and imagine Jesus living within you.

Imagine Jesus in the Mysteries of The Rosary:

He is conceived in Mary’s womb. He sanctifies John the Baptist and Elizabeth. He is born into the world. The shepherds and the Wise Men can see God’s human face. At forty days, He fills the temple with Light. At twelve, He fills that same temple with His Teachings.

At 30, Jesus is Baptized. He receives the Holy Spirit and hears the Father’s voice. He changes water into wine. He preaches, heals, drives out demons and proclaims that the Kingdom is at hand. He reveals His full Glory to Peter, James and John. On the night before His death, He says, “This is My Body,” and “This is My Blood.”

He goes to the Garden where He accepts the Father’s will. He gives Himself over to men whom Satan uses as his instruments. He accepts the wounds on His back and the thorns upon His head. He accepts the cross, walks to Calvary and dies for you.

His soul leaves His body and enters into eternal glory. Jesus’ glorified soul reenters His body, glorifies it and raises it from the dead. He appears to His disciples, tells them to make disciples of all nations, and ascends to the Father’s right hand. He sends the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, takes His mother into heaven, body and soul, and then, makes her Queen of all angels and saints.

After imagining Jesus in these Gospel stories, allow the Flame to come to your will. You welcome Him and He enters your heart, you have invited Jesus to be the center of your life. He is your King. Place this Fire on the lampstand and Jesus’ Light will flood you.

When you receive the Flame with others, you experience the communion of Saints. When one receives, all are blessed. When all receive, each is more blessed.

Right now, Our Lady embraces you and pours out her Flame of Love in great abundance. This is a Holy and sacred moment. She sends this Flame into your heart. The Flame leaps from her heart to yours. She gives the Flame without limits. The Flame of Love is so great that She suffers until the Flame leaves Her Heart and goes to yours, because It belongs in our hearts. She gives the Fire far beyond your capacity to receive. She gives gifts that were meant for others, but they did not receive them. Receive this Flame for everyone -- for yourself, your family, your friends. You will not realize all she has done for you this day. The effects will unfold slowly and powerfully.

Be still. The prayer is complete. Our Lady is pouring out the effects of grace of the Flame of Love.

Remain in silence and receive. Be open to all that Jesus and Mary are doing within you.
