Life In The Spirit - Day One
The Life Of The Spirit - Coming To Know Him
DAY ONE - REPORTING FOR DUTY
September 4th, 2002 I was awakened at 2:52 am singing "Amazing Grace"
the Spirit spoke to my heart saying "Come little brother let us play and
have fun preparing your journal of the wonders of yesterday. It has been
some time now has it not? Not since Tabor have we enjoined in laughter,
come little brother, awaken and turn on your computer."
I got up, made coffee, toast and cheese saying. "Always the evil hour eh
Jesus! the hour that satan roars. Let me eat first?" As I prepared breakfast
the Spirit told me to sing out
"Come Holy Spirit I need you,
Come with Your power and might,
Come help me keep my journal,
of the events of last night.
Come Holy Spirit my dear friend,
Come Holy Spirit I plead,
Come tell me Your wishes,
And I'll lay them out tonight.
They all think that I'm crazy,
and I know that their right,
But what the heck my Dear Spirit,
You'll now make it all right.
Praise You Jesus, I love You,
I thank you for Your power and might,
Allowing me to teach, preach, and heal,Lord,
With Your Gospels last night.
Three weeks ago in prayer Jesus told me to begin preparations in prayer,
to teach the Life In The Spirit on Paltalk. Jesus said,"I will now use you
in new and wondrous ways. You will now begin a new path. Be at peace." That
is when the Wonders and Miracles began happenings in the Divine Mercy Cenacle
on the Feast of Transfiguration, and The Assumption.
As directed in the Spirit I advertised all over Paltalk. I could see in the
Catholic rooms I was throwing Pearls to Pigs. No response whatsoever. Even
though I daily attended all the rosaries and informed each group that The
Life In The Spirit room would be open for questions and praise. Not one
Catholic outside of the Divine Mercy Apostles came to show any interest whatsoever.
Today, the 1st Day of Life In The Spirit, I was joined by Maria, Will Moore 17,
Ron NJ, Vickie, Nakita and later steve-o, and others came briefly, but did not stay.
LET ME MAKE MYSELF CLEAR TO THE READER, FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, WHEN I SPEAK,
IT IS NOT I THAT SPEAKS BUT THE CHRIST THAT IS IN ME. I MUST BOAST, NOT THAT
IT IS PROFITABLE, BUT I GO ON TO THE WONDERS AND REVELATIONS OF THE LORD. 2 COR:12:1
We began with
Reporting For Duty - From Linda Schubert
Lord Jesus, I give this cenacle to you. I present myself to You to use in any
way you chose. Assign me to serve as you wish. Use my mind , my voice, my hands, my heart.
I will gladly share with others what You have done for me. I will share my life, my heart
my resources. I will lay hands on the sick and be an avenue for Your healing power. I will
be courageous in walking where you ask me to walk and saying what You prompt me to say.
When I hear Your voice I will say "Yes Lord" with a soft and open heart. I will be an
instrument of reconciliation today. I will love, love, love. I will love , love , love.
I will receive others in love and pray for them. Each one I meet today, Lord, will be
touched by the power of Your love flowing through me. And when the cenacle is over, I
will return it all to You in gratitude. I will rest, and open myself so You can restore
me and prepare me for tomorrows seminar when i again will report for duty.
A prayer for the protection of the room and computers of everyone;
Given to me by a stranger on the Church Steps Of Holy Rosary Cathedral in 1995
"Let God arise, let His foes be scattered. let those who hate Him flee. As smoke is
blown away, so will they be blown away. Like wax that melts before the fire, so the
wicked shall perish in the Presence of God. And the demons shall vanish before the
countenance of those who love God and sign themselves with the sign of the Cross.
Let the just rejoice proclaiming:
Rejoice O! most precious and life giving Cross of Our Lord, for you cast out the
demons by the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was nailed upon you, and Who
descended to shoel and overcame the power of the devil, giving to us His most
Precious and Life giving Cross to overcome every adversary. O! most precious and
life giving Cross of the Lord, assist me together with the Holy Virgin and Mother
of God, the Theotokos, and all the saints, now and forever. Amen."
I began by giving brief instructions and spoke on Order as Paul has taught us.
We opened by Enthroning Jesus, I spoke and asked;
Music Ministry of Praise
All Participated in The Litany of Praise in Song
I asked;
"What is the first responsibility of a Christian?
TO EVANGELISE
What is the most important verse on the bible?
GOD IS LOVE
I EXPLAINED FROM THIS POINT ON THEY WOULD NEED, PEN, PAPER AND THEIR BIBLES WHICH
THEY OBTAINED.
I now shared and read;
2 Corinthians 12 Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I
will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Acts 3:6 But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I
give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"
1 Corinthians 3
Foundations for Living
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh,
as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not
yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you
not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul,"
and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? What then is Apollos? And what
is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each
one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the
one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now
he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according
to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
1 Cor 1: 17-25 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in
cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
The Wisdom of God
For the word of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF
THE WISE,AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE." Where is the wise man?
Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish
the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom
did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message
preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for
wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,
but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the
wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
I then taught on PRAISE, told them it was the most frequent teaching in scripture and
told them where to find all 2,067 teachings on my website. I then spoke on WORSHIP and
taught them where to find all 767 teachings, the second most frequent teaching of the
gospel. I then lead them through the Litany of Praise in Song. At first as usual, very
weak and shy, but as we got into it, loud and clear, praise God.
I then in the Spirit spoke on the Gifts of Issaigh given to us in Confirmation and
showed them the Gifts of Service of Corinth, and clearly distinguished the difference.
I now taught on Faith as given to us in Confirmation and at Baptism, and clearly
distinguished EXPECTANT FAITH of the saints and martyrs, as given in the Spiritual Gifts
of Corinth. I prepared them to EXPECT MIRACLES-MIRACLES AND MORE MIRACLES AS WE GREW IN
THE LIFE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THIS SEMINAR TOGETHER.
I then spoke as Fr. De Grandis had taught me on "THE LOVE OF THE SPIRIT.....COMING TO KNOW
HIM." I then taught them to give praise as a cenacle, raising their faces to God, closing
their eyes, raising their hands and just surrender to the Lord by humming, singing, and
swaying and dancing with the Lord in Worship, after which I read;
1 Corinthians 14
Prophecy a Superior Gift
Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands,
but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification
and exhortation and consolation.
One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.
Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater
is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the
church may receive edifying.
But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless
I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not
produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on
the harp? For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known
what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. There are, perhaps, a great many
kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning. If then I do not know
the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who
speaks will be a barbarian to me. So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts,
seek to abound for the edification of the church. Therefore let one who speaks in a
tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my
mind is unfruitful. What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will
pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.
Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the
ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified. I thank God,
I speak in tongues more than you all; however, in the church I desire to speak five
words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words
in a tongue.
Instruction for the Church
Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking
be mature. In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS
I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.
So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy
is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.
Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men
or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever
or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; the secrets
of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that
God is certainly among you. What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one
has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let
all things be done for edification. If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at
the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; but if there is no interpreter,
he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. Let two or three
prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. But if a revelation is made to another who
is seated, the first one must keep silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all
may learn and all may be exhorted; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; for
God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. The women
are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject
themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their
own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. Was it from you that
the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only? If anyone thinks he is a prophet
or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.
But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. Therefore, my brethren, desire
earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. But all things must be done
properly and in an orderly manner.

I then explained the Gifts of Corinth and lead them again into prayer inviting the Holy Spirit
to join us. (This is where steve-o joined us. But he did not stay to my sorrow.)
On completion of the Will of The Holy Spirit, I called on maria to give us a Word of Wisdom...
in tongues she did so. I then called on Will Moore, to share with us a Word of Knowledge...
he did so in tongues. Jesus called on me for a Prophesy
see below), whereupon maria confirmed it on the board....followed by to my surprise a word of
knowledge on the board by Ron NJ whom Jesus had spoken to in the heart.
We gave Hosanna and Thanksgiving, followed by the testimony of each penitent,

StFrancis: Jesus asked all of us to beg and plead others to join Him. He showed me
Himself in the Shy as the Divine Mercy, crying Tears of Blood with the heavens filled
with gifts. I asked why He was crying? He told me because these gifts are awaiting His
children and they were not asking for them in prayer.
moe-23: ohhhhhh but many do also at the 3 oclock hour with the stations yes?

A prayer for the protection of the room and computers of everyone;
Given to me on the steps of Holy Rosary Cathedral by a stranger in 1995.
"Let God arise, let His foes be scattered. let those who hate Him flee. As smoke is
blown away, so will they be blown away. Like wax that melts before the fire, so the
wicked shall perish in the Presence of God. And the demons shall vanish before the

All Participated In The Litany of Praise In Song
I spoke on the second most important Divine Gift Of Mercy given to us in the Sacrament
of Reconciliation, the first being the Eucharist. I explained that Jesus understood
our weaknesses, which is why He gave us confession. I outlined the fallacy of Protestants
in thinking they gain Salvation simply by surrendering to Jesus. Yes, they will attain
salvation, but INDEED will pay the price in perfect cleansing of their souls in PURGATORY.
I showed how it was the Divine Mercy of Jesus that He gave us the sacrament of
reconciliation, and that TRULY, one must make frequent confessions, weekly if possible,
to grow in sanctity.
I explained that one should seek out a priest and always go to that priest for regular
confession. That after a while, this priest begins to expect you, this priest is not there
to give you a penance, but rather INDEED is like a telephone conduit to God. You speak to
God through the priest, God speaks to you through the priest. The priest is the intermediary
for you. The more intimate you become with the priest, the more he now can bring to you
spiritual direction. Why is this necessary? Let us look at what Jesus revealed to St.
Faustina of Divine Mercy
"There are three degrees in the accomplishment of God's Will:
in the FIRST,the soul carries out all the rites and statues pertaining to external observance.
(This is where most Christians fall, and thus NEVER go directly to heaven, but rather are
cleansed in PURGATORY)
In the second degree, the soul accepts interior inspirations and carries them out faithfully.
One usually acquires the ability to "Hear that small still voice" through the Baptism of the
Spirit, although many achieve this state of holiness through frequent communion, visits to
the Tabernacle and a disciplined prayer life. This is the state received by those seeking
sanctity, who acquire a deep taste for prayer and the scriptures, studying the lives of the
saints in order to be lead to
The third degree. The soul, abandoned to the Will of God, allows God to dispose of it freely.
And God does with it as He pleases, and it is a docile tool in His hands." In this state, that
of a living saint, God uses it powerfully in the anointing, blessing and healing of the sick,
needy and poor of the world. Particularly the poor in heart. This soul is and becomes with
Expectant Faith, Compliance to God's Will, and Obedient to the Holy Spirit, a servant of all
of mankind. For truly it reaches a state that nothing of the whole world can distract it from
serving God by serving His people. This is the state all saints acquired in the service of the
Heavenly Father, and thus God used them in powerful ways. This sate of third degree is available
to any and all Christians who truly "Trust In Jesus in His Divine Mercy.
Here is an Example of Divine Mercy, brought about by Our Blessed Mother of Mercy;
I read the Father O"Leary story of Claude Newman.
As we now prepare for confession tomorrow to be in a state of Grace to receive the Baptism of
The Spirit, take pen and paper and walk with Jesus through all of your past life and take
notes to be cleansed of all of our unconfessed sins.
FORGIVENESS PRAYER OF FR> DE GRANDES
Lord Jesus Christ, I ask today to forgive everyone in my life. I know that you will give me the
strength to forgive. I thank you that you love me more then I love myself and want my happiness
more then I desire it for myself.
Father, I forgive you for the times death has come into our family, hard times, financial
difficulties, or what I thought were punishments sent by you. When people said, “It is God’s
Will” I became bitter and resentful towards you. Purify my heart and mind today.
Lord, I forgive myself for my sins, faults and failings; and for all that is bad in me or
that I think is bad, I forgive myself. For any delving in superstition, using ouija boards,
horoscopes, going to seances, using
fortune tellers, or wearing lucky charms, I reject all that superstition and chose you alone
as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit.
I further forgive myself, for taking your name in vain, using drugs, not worshipping you by
attending church, for hurting my parents, getting drunk, for sins against purity, bad books,
bad movies, fornication,
adultery, homosexuality. Also for abortion, stealing, lying, defrauding, hurting people’s
reputations. You have forgiven me. Today I forgive myself
I truly forgive my Mother, I forgive her for all the times she hurt me, resented me, was
angry with me, and for all the times she punished me. I forgive her for all the times she
told me I was dumb, ugly, stupid,
the worst of children or that I cost the family a lot of money. Also for the times she told
me I was unwanted, an accident, a mistake or not what she expected, I forgive her.
I forgive my Father, I forgive him for any non-support, any lack of love, affection or
attention. I forgive him for any lack of time, for not giving me his companionship, for
his drinking, arguing and fighting with my
mother or the children. For his severe punishments, for desertion for being away from
home, for divorcing my mother, or for running around, I do forgive him.
Lord, I extend forgiveness to my Sisters and Brothers, I forgive those who rejected me,
lied about me, hated me, resented me, competed for my parents love, those who hurt me,
who physically harmed me. For those who were too severe on me, punished me, or made my
life unpleasant in any way, I do forgive them.
Lord, I forgive my spouse, for any lack of love, affection, consideration, support,
attention, communication, for faults, failings, weaknesses, and those other acts or
words that hurt or disturb me.
Jesus, I forgive my children for their lack of respect, obedience, love, attention,
support, warmth, understanding, for their bad habits, falling away from the Church,
any bad actions which disturb me.
My God, I forgive my IN-Laws, my Mother –in-Law, Father-in Law, son/daughter-In-Law and
other relatives by marriage who treat my family with a lack of love. For all their words,
thoughts and actions or omissions, which injure and cause pain, I forgive them.
Please help me forgive my Relatives, my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins who
have interfered in our family, been possessive of my parents, who may have caused confusion
or turned one parent against the other.
Jesus, help me to forgive my co-workers, who are disagreeable or make life miserable for
me, for those who push their work off on me, gossip about me, won’t co-operate with me,
try to take my job, I do forgive them.
My Neighbors need to be forgiven, Lord. For all their noise, letting their property run
down, not tying up their dogs who run through my yard, not taking out their trash barrels,
being prejudiced and running down the
neighborhood, I do forgive them.
I forgive all Priests, Nuns, Parish members, Parish Council Members, Parish Organization
Heads, my Pastor, the Bishop, the Pope, and the Roman Catholic Church for their lack of
support, affirmation, leadership, bad sermons, pettiness, lack of friendliness, for any
hurts they have inflicted on me or my family – even in the distant past – I forgive them today.
Lord, I forgive all those of different persuasions, those of opposite political views who
have attacked me, ridiculed me, discriminated against me, made fun of me, and economically
hurt me.
I forgive those of different religious denominations who have tried to convert me, harassed
me, attacked me,argued with me, and forced their views on me. Those who have harmed me Ethnically,
have discriminated against me, mocked me, made jokes about my race, or nationality, hurt
my family physically, emotionally, or economically, I do forgive them today.
Lord, I forgive my Employer for not paying me enough money, for not appreciating my work,
for being unkind and unreasonable with me, for being angry or unfriendly, for not promoting me,
and for not complimenting me on my work.
Lord, I forgive Schoolteachers and Instructors of the past as well as the present. For those
who punished me, humiliated me, insulted me, treated me unjustly, made fun of me, called me
dumb or stupid, made me stay after
school, I truly forgive them today.
Lord, I forgive my friends who have let me down, lost contact with me, did not support me,
were not available when I needed help, borrowed money and did not return it, gossiped about me.
Lord Jesus, I especially ask for the grace of forgiveness for that one person in life who
has hurt me the most I
ask to forgive anyone whom I consider my greatest enemy, the one who is hardest to forgive
or the one I said I would never forgive.
Lord, I beg pardon of all these people for the hurt I have inflicted on them, especially my
mother and father,and my marriage partner. I am especially sorry for the three greatest hurts
I have inflicted on each.
Thank you, Jesus, that I am being set free of the evil of unforgiveness. Let your Holy Spirit
fill me with light and let every dark area of my mind be enlightened. Amen

Will_Moore16: Last night I spoke in tounges and gave a "word of councel". The Spirit used
me to speak encouragment to Mary (I didn't know it was directed at Mary, until I read her
testimony)... God is using me through the Holy Spirit to help others.
Lord Jesus, I praise You and I thank You for the gift of salvation. I thank You that your life and
Your nature are within me. Thank you for the grace that enables me to respond from my heart,
"I belong to You."
I come to you now, Lord, and ask for a deeper surrender to the management of Your Holy Spirit.
Give me a teachable spirit. Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and You are my Saviour, give the grace
to make a perfect Act of contrition and a holy confession as i prepare for the Baptism of the
Spirit.
I need a Saviour. I need my life to be daily submitted to the work of Your Spirit. Come Lord
Jesus, melt me, mold me, fill me, use me. Melt away my self will, my stubbornness, my desire
to be served instead of serving. Mold me into the image of You. I want to reflect Your
miraculous nature and enter into my spiritual heritage. Fill me with your Holy Spirit.
Use me to bring Your life and healing to others. Lord, give me a heart of a servant. Amen
___________________________________________________________
creel Wednesday Lord reached into my soul and revealed to me the things I need to forgive
people for, helped me to confess those sins, the sins that I have not confessed to other people,
except to Jesus. It says in the scriptures to confess our sins to one another. Help us Lord
to worship you freely to give ourselves over to you so that as we come into your presence you
would use this time to edify us through the Holy Spirit. Let us worship you in song of tongues,
worship you in the Spirit, in love and peace.The Lord confirmed through the Spirit that we are
his children, not to be afraid, to open our minds to him, to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit
and to seek his revelation in prayer, to be open to his love (I wish I had written all those
words down) and that we must pray……….pray…………and pray………….those words spoke. The Lord has
prepared the way. I must obey and follow him and let him show me what those things are.
My journey with him, he wants me to study his Word, to go to those places and to experience
more communion with him and the Saints. How humbling it is to receive a confirmation like
this. He is shepherding me back to do this. Or rather forward. Last week, I saw the
vision of an illuminated cross in the El Shaddai room and the Lord spoke and said
“Go My Child” It was his voice, so distinct and clear. For a few days my Spirit was troubled,
What did he mean? Closer to the Cross Closer to Jesus, Father, Son and Holy Spirit……….
follow the Lord. What does he want me to do? Another visit to the El Shaddai just two
days ago, St Francis prayed, and continued to pray, I prayed for peace. I asked him if
he taught teachings of St Ignatius. Peace arrived this morning, peacefulness after a
storm, thank you Jesus, and a blessed anointing of Jesus. And even if I don’t know who
St Ignatius really was or what it is completely about at this stage there is nothing to
fear. We will go in peace, the Lord is calling.

I thank You that your life and Your nature are within me. Thank you for the grace
that enables me to respond from my heart, "I belong to You."
I come to you now, Lord, and ask for a deeper surrender to the management of Your
Holy Spirit. Give me a teachable spirit. Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and You are my
Saviour, give the grace to make a perfect Act of contrition and a holy confession
as i prepare for the Baptism of the Spirit.
I need a Saviour. I need my life to be daily submitted to the work of Your Spirit.
Come Lord Jesus, melt me, mold me, fill me, use me. Melt away my self will, my
stubbornness, my desire to be served instead of serving. Mold me into the image of
You. I want to reflect Your miraculous nature and enter into my spiritual heritage.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Use me to bring Your life and healing to others.
Lord, give me a heart of a servant. Amen"

Vickie213: On the last nite that I attended, you told us to go to confessions and to
Mass the next day. I was unable to attend confession but I did a very therough examination
of my conscience. I found many things that I have failed to confess, and was greatly upset
by this.I needed more time to think over how to say what I wanted to say, because I did not
want to publish my confession StFrancis: This indeed was a blessing. After much soul
searching I know that to share the opening of my heart to all is the best way to share
this with you all.

Using Fr. De Grandis Teaching - I taught on the Gift of Tongues.
1 Corinthians 12
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties
of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who
works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit
for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to
another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the
same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting
of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one
and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just
as He wills.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God;
for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks (2) mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:4 One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies
edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 1:27 "but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the
wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong"
Matthew 14:22-23 Jesus Walks on the Water,Immediately He made the disciples get into the
boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. After He had
sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was
evening, He was there alone.
Lord, I don't understand what I am saying, but I believe it is from the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit tells me and I am going to do it regardless of how I feel. Maybe I would rather
be doing something else, but I am here because I want to praise You. Help me to Yield
myself more and more to You. Come Lord Jesus, Come.

other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Mary m-1: Sept 5 last night Jesus said' "Listen to me and do what I ask. That was
when I was slane in the Spirit. He said "Do not look for the man I have for you. I
will bring him to you. Safeguard your heart." He was doing a healing in me from the
many worries. I am to leave all things at his feet and to give him my pain and he would
annoint me and I did.
Mary m-1: I have been backsliding in the past 6 years since I came back to home area.
I have met people on line that have lead me astray and then I went through more pain
and was helped by many christians on line in Paltalk.
Comming to the Life in the Spirit seminar helped me to trust God more.
Obedience and trust and patience all where brought to my attention. A promise I had of
a husband for over 10 years made me angrey with the Lord, and I then went surching
on m;y own. Forgiveness has been brought to mind a lot lately, for those who have
harmed me. This is a time of reniewing my faith and inner healing is taking place.
Stepping out in faith is now required of us every day. I lost my mother this last
year and have been grieving her death besides other things going on in family. I have
regained my hope and trust in the Lord, in his timeing and in his way. The Lord has
been telling me to listen to what he says and to do what he asks. Without forgiveness
we cannot go forward it hinders us

creel Rosemary Brown Day 3 Life in the Spirit
Diary
I arrived late, but in time to learn of the 3 degrees of God’s Will
1) Deep Prayer
2) Charismas of the Saints
3) The Soul abandoned to the Will of God for the pouring out of his gifts
The cam was on, we could see the illumination of the Holy Spirit, I could see the coloured hues,
the reds, oranges and yellows mixed and changing. Just before the picture closed, I could
see the form of the Lord Jesus Christ with his arms uplifted from the hues, just for a few
brief seconds. I naturally thought everyone could see this but don’t think they did. The
coloured hue reddy pink and lighter hues of oranges etc represented the blood and tears of Jesus.
St Francis prayed in tongues as the Worship Service started and continued for a lengthy time.
During this time I sang in tongues and enjoyed the beauty and presence of the Holy Spirit.
I was not slain in the Spirit but need to pray more to get fulfillment of gifts. Have not
been in a group situation before where people have prayed for gifts or Church for that matter.
Jesus said; "Be people of prayer and of Service, to serve God and his people. To live a
life of sacrifice, commitment and Service and be bold and give witness." To give witness does
not come easy, it is difficult to share, the Lord enables us to speak as I know but sharing
personal things is difficult. Pray that the Lord helps me to be free in this area.
Its wonderful to be blessed with other brothers and sisters in the room and to hear of their
gifts and testimony especially of the burning sensation in the middle of the palm testimony
to the pouring of the gift of healing and to hear them speak. The sound was bad so did not
hear them all.
_________________________________
Will_Moore16/SoloPiano: Some time ago I felt undisciplined by God. I was doing wrong, and
yet God didn't assure my spirit. So at that time I said a prayer with deep sincerity "Lord,
discipline me..." Since that time I realised how much I relied on God to reveal things through
the flesh (e.g. emotion) God took my emotion and very rarely did I feel happy or sad - I was
just the same most of the time. When the times came for me to worship God and enter his
presence, I didn't feel any emotion - therefore it was very hard for me to express myself.
But God had a very good reason for doing this, last night after expecting to be slane in
the Spirit (I did not get slane in the Spirit to my disappointment) - I just felt the same
as always, but God opened my heart to know the the Spirit does not always work on emotions...
When I don't feel like praising - praise anyway... When I don't feel like loving - love
anyway. I have got my emotion back now and know God better for disciplining me. Amen.

A prayer for the protection of the room and computers of everyone;
"Let God arise, let His foes be scattered. let those who hate Him flee. As smoke is

Life giving Cross to overcome every adversary. O! most precious and life giving Cross
of the Lord, assist me together with the Holy Virgin and Mother of God, the Theotokos,
and all the saints, now and forever. Amen."
We began with Music Ministry of Praise:
All participated in the Litany of Praise In Song.
I reviewed the Teaching of Tongues by Fr De Grandis, and then had the Cenacle
all begin to pray while I called on the Holy Spirit. I called each candidate to
Trust In Jesus and come to the mic and "utter a sound" and to Trust That the Holy
Spirit would come upon them in a Powerful way to release this gift. All complied
and were released.
I read this Scripture and then prayed in Tongues,for everyone;
Ephesians 4:11 "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as
evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for
the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain
to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man,
to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result,
we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about
by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the
head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what
every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes
the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
I now clearly taught the distinction between the Gifts of Issaigh, given at Baptism
and Confirmation , and the Gifts of Corinth, using the book, "Understanding The Charismatic
Gifts" by Fr. Peter B. Coughlin as my source. I now taught on the role we have in the
community and Church, in using these Gifts. And that we are CALLED to EVANGELISE with
these Gifts. Praise You Jesus!
1 Corinthians 1:24 "but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God and the wisdom of God."
I then specifically defined the Gift of Wisdom. Had them all raise their hands, selected
one candidate to be in the middle of the circle by not raising his/hand, and had the others
now pray for the candidate in Tongues for the Release of the Gift of Wisdom in the "Circled
Candidate".
I then had the "Circled Candidate " come to the mic and pray in Tongues. Each in turn was
released in the "Gift of Wisdom" and came to the mic and gave a message of Wisdom for the
Cenacle through The Holy Spirit.
Colossi ans 2:3 "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
2 Kings 5:27 "Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants
forever." So he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow."
John 4
18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this
you have said truly."
19 The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
29 "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ,is it?"
Now I taught on the difference between the Gift of Wisdom, and the Gift of Knowledge and
taught how these are tools to be used of teaching gifts, and distinguished them. Again I
had them form a Circle by raising their hands. Again the "Circled candidate was prayed over
by the Cenacle for the release of the Gift of Know;ledge. Again, I had them come to the mic
to pray in Tongues. Again the Holy Spirit released each candidate with the Gift of Knowledge.
Praise You Jesus.
Hebrews 11:The Triumphs of Faith 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the
conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the
joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God."
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have
life, and have it abundantly.
WORSHIP MUSIC MINISTRY
______________________
Lift up your faces to your Heavenly Father, close your eyes, hum, sing, sway to the
music, dance with the Lord, let the anointing begin.
Now I taught on the Gift of Faith, as the Issain Gift, given to us in Baptism, is given for our
own personal spiritual growth. The Difference in the Corinth Gift, of EXPECTANT FAITH of the
apostles, saints, and martyrs, is given as a Gift of SERVICE. I clearly taught that this Gift,
is to KNOW, THAT YOU KNOW, THAT YOU KNOW, THAT YOU KNOW, God is calling you to anoint, bless,
or heal in His Holy Name any person, group, or gathering for spiritual, mental, physical,
providential , and for inner healing. This Gift is a TOTAL SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF GOD to use
us as Instruments of Peace. Allowing God to use our hands, feet, mind, heart, and body to serve
Him by serving others in His Holy name. And now again put them into the Circle.
At this point maria, told me that Jesus said. "Turn on your Cam,!" I did. To my astonishment,
The Holy Spirit filled my Poustina with Light, in the form of the Dancing Sun between the picture
of El Shaddai and the Divine Mercy on my wall. The picture of El Shaddai as given to St. Marguerite
Youville, given to me by Bill Gerard in 1994, again as so many times in the past, had the halo of
light behind Him throb as though a heartbeat. The Divine Mercy rays of blue and red graces were
flowing, like a river, and Jesus blessed the Cenacle. This went on for at least 20 minutes. Aguleus
could not get his cam to work and rebooted. Coming back, the vision had stopped, and so he had not
seen it. Somehow I had turned it back on, and it remained for another 10 minutes as we did Hosanna
and thanksgiving.
TESTIMONY
_________
Mary m-1:Last night was Sept 6 2002. I was amazed at how I was used again
in the gifts. The light of the Holy Spirit was shown to us,between the pictures
of the Divine Mercy and the picture of El Shaddai on StFrancis's cam. The word
last night was. That trials are blessings from God, for we learn through them.
Well I guess I have! Things got easier after mom died.Jesus said "You have been
given many great gifts and see it in the way you speak and act." One of my strongest
gifts is as an encourager. I have known that for a long time now. I try to help
others with this gift. Discernment of spirits also have been given me. My impression
of what certain demons look like. I have been harassed by them also at times. Well
I guess this is about all I can think of right now, to give you of last night's
impressions and my testimony of events.
______________________________
Dennis 92 When I was about 8 or 9 years old I had my tonsils operated on and then had to have it
redone a second time alone with my adenoids because they had grown back and become
infected. Well if once or twice had not been enough the doctor tried to blame it on
my health and not another infection . I was so sick my parents finally took me to
another doctor. This was my fourth operation which was a repeat of my adenoids and
my first of two mastoid operation . In this process I missed almost two years of school
and had to repeat both. And the infection still had not been stopped. There was after
that 3 years of regular visits to try to stop the problem then at about 18 years old
he wanted to operate again on the chronic infection. By this point I had A distrustful
dislike for any doctor. I left the doctors office with a decision never to go back to any
doctor.
Over the next 20 years or so I would not go to a doctor for anything, teeth included.
God was always on my mind but not as He should have been. My faith was always there but
kind of second. But I really believe God put me before I put him His love for me was
greater than mine for Him. I was tired of being alone and on my knees I prayed to God.
Within 6 months well, I was married and I have four children ,two adopted and we just
celebrated our twenty fifth happy years. After a few years of marriage, my right ear
gave me problems. I forced myself to go to a doctor. He took care of part of the problem.
I do have chronic ear infection. I refused him to correct the problem with surgery. At
that time he checked my left ear and made the statement “ I thought that no doctor touched
this left ear. That is correct - it’s never been operated on. He told me I was wrong and
the bones and the tissues have been altered surgically with a new procedure. He asked to
have my medical records released to him. What he said was, that, the bone and tissue or
whatever vibrate and resonate and but that portion was destroyed surgery had surgery had
altered the bones in such a way as to partially restore my hearing. He never acknowledged
I had been operated on even with my records in his files. Personally I know I was operated
on by the hand of God.
When times were trying and I became depressed, I still have some of the poems that popped
into my head. No God did not leave me. He or an angel, it doesn’t matter. They are of Him.
Not this last Easter but the year of 2000, some words came into my head and I didn’t know
why but it was a prayer . It was in-complete but I asked some one at my work., a very pious
and devoted individual what he though of it . He sent me to a priest . It was the Divine Mercy
-not the novena . But that was changed as I did the research and found out whomever had
encouraged me wanted it recited before Mercy Sunday, the Sunday after Easter . The timing
was such that it fell into place. I believe it was Sister Faustina herself. As you can see
I believe God has been working in me and through me even when I haven’t put God where he
should be in my life.
These things in my life have drawn me closer to God. My hearing impairment has allowed me to
hear beyond anyone else’s capabilities because I am able to listen to things others can’t
hear. I believe anyone can train themselves to hear voices from heaven.
Dennis A. Breton

The Gifts of Tongues & The Gifts of Healing
The gifts of the Spirit given to the Apostles on the day of Pentecost, the breath
of God. We all think of this day and praise God for those gifts that He gave with
His Spirit. The scriptures are every vivid about that day and about desiring the
gifts for the edification of the body of Christ and the building of our faith.
The Gift of Tongues is a language of love and prayer between ourselves and God.
Pray for ourselves and others in tongues. Use this gift, desire the interpretation
of tongues. Sing in tongues, worship in tongues. Allow God to use us as instruments
of His peace. Turn ourselves over to God freely and learn how to give praise, Praise
Him. Adore Him, Worship him
Believe by faith that we will be healed. God is a God of healing. He heals through
his Devine Will and Mercy, Ask and we will receive. Pray over people, with them and for
them, pray over our medications. Learn to use the gift of healing.
Believe in prayer, believe in claiming the healing from God. Confess our sins and
repent of them, ask the Lord to reveal those that need to be dealt with. I consider
the laying on of hands and prayer on my family has been especially healing through the
Will of God, and he has always healed. Have not done this in a while……..I did not realize
that we ourselves can play a part in Gods healing of others except in prayer.
It is a precious gift. There is emotional healing, spiritual healing, physical healing.
Pray that God will make us whole.
Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you and praise you for your gifts through the Holy Spirit
Help us Lord to build our faith and to use these gifts to the glory of your name
Cleanse our Souls Lord and Purify us Lord through your living waters
Pour upon us your Holy Spirit, strengthen us and keep us Lord
In your Divine Mercy and grace, your divine Will and your Divine love
Help us Lord to pray for others, those that are sick and in need of your loving touch
In Jesus Christ’s name we pray, Amen

Today we learn from Paul
1 Corinthians 4:9-15, Psalm 145, Luke 6:1-5
>
> ARE YOU UNDERMINING OR LOVING THE CHURCH?
>
> "We have become the world's refuse, the scum of all;> that is the present state
of affairs."
1 Corinthians 4:13
Jesus has founded His Church on the apostles
Eph 2:20; Rv 21:14), who have been put "at the end of the line, like men
doomed to die in the arena"
1 Cor 4:9). Jesus has founded His Church on leaders who became "a spectacle to the
universe, to angels and men alike"
1 Cor 4:9). His Church is founded on "fools on Christ's account" who
"go hungry and thirsty, poorly clad, roughly treated, wandering
about homeless"
1 Cor 4:10, 11). By founding His Church on such a
disreputable group as the apostles, Jesus proclaims that His Church is founded
on the scandal and the absurdity of the cross
1 Cor 1:23)."Consequently, if we refuse to take up our daily
cross
Lk 9:23 "
because we choose to live for self and pleasure
instead of for love and service, we undermine the foundations of the Church.
However, if we take up the crosses of repenting, forgiving others, being
persecuted,simplifying our lives, and washing the feet of others
Jn 13:5), "we not only preserve the foundations of the Church but
even restore them
Is 58:12). Are you an enemy of the Church subtly undermining her foundations,
or are you rebuilding the Church from the ground up? Take up the cross; lift
up the cross; boast of (Gal 6:14) and rejoice in the cross (see Col 1:24; 1 Pt 4:13).
NOTE : THERE WAS ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM FROM PREVIOUS NIGHT.
I turned Jesus and asked "What do I do now Lord? How's this going to work?
Jesus had me review in summary my previous talks on Baptism, Confirmation, Expectant
Faith,Gifts of Issaigh, Our roles in the Church, Gifts of Corinth, Word of Knowledge,
and the Word of Wisdom. I tuaght all of this in 30 minutes to my astonishment.
Now Jesus had me again form them into a circle of prayer. Tongues were released in all
one person was hesitant and I told him he was thinking with his mind, not his heart, and
commanded him in the Name of Jesus to come to the mic and utter a sound that the Holy Spirit
would do the rest, He did.
Jesus now had everyone pray in Tongues for five minutes while I played a hymn and prayed
in tongues on the mic. Everyone complied. Jesus then told me to have each candidate come to
the mic in turn and pray in Tongues. Then did and while they prayed in Tongues He released
a Word of Knowledge from each candidate.
Now Jesus had me do the same with them for a Word of Wisdom, and then I spoke on the differnce
between each teaching and gift. They all now understood the difference. Praise God.
Now Jesus prompted me to teach on Healing "The Master's Touch" which I used from Fr. Coughlin. Jesus now
told me to SING OUT and this came out;
Come Holy Spirit I need You,
Come with Your Power and Might,
Come with Your Gifts of Healing,
For all in this room tonite.
Come Holy Spirit we love you,
Anoint, bless and heal us tonite,

Desperate4Him777: TED....what I wanna share is...what I am thankful for...
I thank the Lord that you allow yourself to be used by the Lord to become a
vessel. To guide others to the knowledge, that there is more to the Lord. That God
still uses humans in the giftings. See...I'm not personally from a Catholic backround
...I grew up Lutheran, but I met The Lord in a deeper way a couple years ago.He was
showing me the gifts and the baptism of the holy Spirit. But like I said its so refreshing
to see Catholic belivers flowing in the gifts, and desiring to be and become all that
God has for them, so thanks for being that vessel to help others find that too :)

(09/08/02 8:35 AM EDT) Mary m-1: Sept 7 2002 before I went online and into the room I was
getting very strongly that the Lord will replace what the Locust has eaten in my life and
my familys. When asked to give word of Wisdom, the Lord gave me words of ecouragement.I
will give you ideas to direct and guide you and seek my direction.
_________________________________________
Chacha Since I joined the Life In The Spirit Prayer Group; I have recovered
immensely from various private problems that has been troubling me and which I may not
want to write here at this time.
Somehow, however, after my participation in the "Life in the Spirit" Seminar of 8th Sept.
2002 (Saturday Night), the enemies (evil spirits) felt threatened and started warring
against me physically. I was held down for two days from participating any further.
Now, I and my family became convinced that the problems is definitely spiritual.
We have ever since then started praying together and things are gradually getting better.
Precisely, we thank God and we thank StFrancis and all Paltalk members for helping us
spiritually. We need more prayers at this time of battle. Amen!
__________________________________________
Day 5
This was a very interesting teaching and learnt a lot.
St Francis prayed and spoke encouragement about prayer, there was much wisdom from the
Holy Spirit, especially in prayer of the tongues. The more we pray in tongues the more
we pray for others. This was very edifying.
A brother in the room was struggling in the Spirit to receive the gift of tongues.The room
continued to pray over him in tongues, and then each person for a Word of Knowledge.
This I had not done before so felt unsure, not quite understanding and having confidence
in receiving and using this gift.
St Francis shared with the room at some stage his frustrations in doing a series like
this over the internet.
Miraculous Cure
We must give honour, praise and glory to God for all healings and allow the blessings
to be manifested to his Glory. He will do this. The sound was not good so missed some
of the teaching here. St Francis shared the scripture truth on how 9 or 10 lepers were
healed but only 1 returned to the Lord to say thank you. Oh my……this is so true.
Forgive us of our trespasses Lord
Discernment
False messages, discerning Gods word spoken to you versus a false message from Satan.
At the end of the session, testimonies, and Prayer. Dennis felt difficulty in asking the
Lord for gifts so felt led to encourage him with a word of how listening to tongues for
the first time many years ago had made me very fearful but when I received the baptism
of the Holy Spirit many years later this was one gift that was prayed for. The Lord
answered that prayer 3 months later, prayed for that gift 3x a day, never letting go
of that desire to have that gift. Mary always has a gift of knowledge of word but
still find her hard to understand.

From: Luke 6:6-11
The Cure of a Man with a Withered Hand
--------------------------------------
[6] On another Sabbath, when He (Jesus) entered the synagogue and
taught, a man was there whose right hand was withered. [7] And the
scribes and the Pharisees watched Him, to see whether He would heal on
the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him.
[8] But He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man who had the
withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there.
[9] And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to
do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?" [10] And He
looked around on them all, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand."
And he did so, and his hand was restored. [11] But they were filled
with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
***********************************************************************
Commentary:
10. The Fathers teach us how to discover a deep spiritual meaning in
apparently casual things Jesus says. St. Ambrose, for example,
commenting on the phrase "Stretch out your hand," says: "This form of
medicine is common and general. Offer it often, in benefit of your
neighbor; defend from injury anyone who seems to be suffering as a
result of calumny; stretch your hand out also to the poor man who asks
for your help; stretch it out also to the Lord asking Him to forgive
your sins; that is how you should stretch your hand out, and that is
the way to be cured" ("Expositio Evangelii sec. Lucam, in loc".).
know how to react to the miracle which He goes on to work. It should
have converted them, but their hearts were in darkness and they were
full of jealousy and anger. Later on, these people, who kept quiet in
our Lord's presence, began to discuss Him among themselves, not with a
view to approaching Him again but with the purpose of doing away with
Him. In this connection St. Cyril comments: "O Pharisee, you see Him
working wonders and healing the sick by using a higher power, yet out
of envy you plot His death" ("Commentarium in Lucam, in loc.").
11. The Pharisees do not want to reply to Jesus' question and do not

SCRIPTURE TEACHINGS ON PROPHESY
1 Samuel 10:6 The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and
you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
Ezekiel 30:2 "Son of man, prophesy and say: `This is what the Sovereign LORD
says: "`Wail and say, "Alas for that day!"
Joel 2:28 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons
and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men
will see visions.
Acts 2:17 "`In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your
old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those
days, and they will prophesy.
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
1 Corinthians 14:5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, [1] but I
would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks
in tongues, [2] unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
39 Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Revelation 10:11 Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations,

TESTIMONY

Vickie213 Day 6, THANKSGIVING Dear Ted, On the 2nd nite I felt that we were all so close,
even though we are seperated by many thousands of miles. There was great peace and harmony
as we all "joined hands." Your words were very powerful and I was a part of something unknown.
The praise and prayers made a deep impression. There was no movement of the Holy Spirit Who had
come and given me a gift, other than that, a fellowship with others in the room. On the 3rd
nite I came in with a strange feeling that I should not be there, because of not being chosen
to revieve the gift of tongues. But, stayed anyway and learn much about myself and things that
I thought should have been long forgotten. I did much soul searching that nite and thru the
next day. After much thought and reflections on what was, and is going on around me, much peace
came over me. I wanted to return but was unable too,because of the hope of being called back
to my Church. Alas that was not to be. I also felt the sickness when 7:00pm rolled around, and
I prayed but didn't listen or got a differant message. Over the weekend we had Holy Hour and
Mass so I was unable to attend. Am very sorry that I did not come. Last nite I wanted to be
there but again was unable due to the storm outside and a tremendous headache. My computer
must be shut down during lighting storms and all this week we have had them every afternoon
and evening. I prayed until I fell asleep at around 8:30p Central time. I awoke with the words
of the Divine Mercy Chaplet on my lips and I kept repeating them until I fell asleep again.
This morning I awoke still saying the praises. Thank you for all your prayers and hard work
that you do to keep the room open. The attack happened for a reason, but we leave them to
the Hands of God. Thank you also for the spiritual rooms Where we are able to learn. God Bless
and keep you in His heart and may you always be blessed, Vickie,
PS - I will study more and try and be there again. Peace be with you always

Day 6 Rosemary Brown
Gift of Prophesy
The sound was very bad and intermittent yesterday. Not many notes taken but heard that in
prophesying we should be gentle, clear, building up, encouraging in love and faith and not to
tear down.
St Francis had each one that was able to speak in tongues go to the mic, pray in Tongues and
come for the release of the Gift of Prophesy. This time I could feel the Holy Spirit welling
up and pouring out many words, and the beginning of a song. St Francis spoke a Word of Knowledge
from that. The Lord spoke an interpretation of how much I loved him and prayed for family
but the family had turned their backs on the sacrament.. So, this tells me of how much
the Lord loves us but his heart is grieving. I must pray more for my husband to be saved,
and to keep discipling which they do listen to………and trust in Gods grace. There was a
definite vision of being at the foot of the Cross on bended knees with a pouring down from
above of water. “Go my child to the foot of the Cross” were the words that the Lord gave
me in prophesy. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t a message for the body of Christ
as a whole, perhaps it was. Pray for the body of Christ. I am in a Church where the gifts
of the Spirit are not used. How this must grieve the heart of Jesus! Perhaps that message
is for the Church that I belong to as well. Eighteen months ago, a friend took me to a meeting,
where there was a prophetic person speaking. This was so interesting that night. He didn’t
know any of us but each persons prophesy was so perfect for that person. It could only be
of the Lord. For my friends, he said travel. One year later they are going to Germany, on a
YWAM course and are about to set off again. They have been in Kenya and South Africa doing
missionary work. Janet, my other friend, is a mother hen to everyone, she is constantly
reaching out to those that need a Word and gathering them in. Other people were prophesied
with music etc.For myself he said like Mary that poured the oil of perfume onto the feet of
Jesus I would spend many hours in prayer and that I would have a small sword. I remember too,
that I was a little disappointed, I wanted a big sword of the Word!! My friends were estatic
that the word sword was even given, how ungrateful could I be? I need to learn humility.
Dennis is still not able to speak in tongues. I will pray and intercede for him tonight and
pray for the others. Clamour, and desparate and solo who hasn’t joined us perhaps because
of time differences.
Heavenly Father, we repent and turn to you with our sins
And pray for forgiveness
Forgive us Lord, pardon and deliver us
We are truly sorry
Take away our pride Lord and clothe us in humility
And show us Lord the way of your righteousness in all things,
To the glory of your name
In Jesus Christ’s name we pray - Amen.

creel; Day 6 Missed the beginnings of the teachings because of a boot off Paltalk so
have meditated on Matthew 7-7.
Revelation of the Spirit and Gifts
Ask for gifts one and all. Let heart and spirit, consciousness be guided. Let
willingness to serve God be a guide.
1) Spirit of wisdom – given to meet the need and circumstances
2) word of knowledge – revelation – words spoken by the Lord
3) expectant faith – wonder working faith
4) gift of healing which God manifests for his Gory
5) working miracles – instantaneous healing
6) prophesy – to encourage, build up strengthen – discerning of spirits
7) Holy, Evil or Human Spirit
8) Tongue language of prayer
9) Interpretation of tongues – capture the attention of the unbeliever
Matthew Chapter 7 vs 7 “Ask and it will be given to you,” seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, he who
seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his
son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him
a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts, to those who ask him!
To seek, to ask, to knock, to find. This is a very apt piece of scripture. It tells
us to pray and never give up, the Lord answers all prayer. The Lord will not give us
something that we didn’t ask for, and he will give those good heavenly gifts to those
that ask.
John 14vs 13
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”
Ch 15 vs 7
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be
given you.”
Vs 16
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit
that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name
James 1 Ch 5-8
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without
finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not
doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded
man, unstable in all he does.”
Ch 4 vs 2-3
You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you
want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask,
you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on
your pleasures.”
Ch5vs16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be
healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
1 John ch 5 14-15
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according
to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask – we know
that we have what we asked of him.”
Heavenly Father, thank you and praise you for your benevolence and unfailing love of us
Help us Lord to meditate on your Word, and to learn and practice effectual prayer,
Help us Lord to receive your gifts with joy and thanksgiving, to discern your gifts with
wisdom and love,To use each one that we may bear fruit to your glory Let us never doubt
but be firm in acclaiming your Word through the Holy Spirit Forgive us Lord of our sins
and help us Lord to confess those to one another, so that we may have peace In the name
of our Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
And last but not least
Ephesians Ch 1 vs 15 –19
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for
all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the
Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes
of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us
who believe. Pray Pray and Pray. GBU Rosemary Brown

Life In The Spirit - Day Seven
The Power of The Spirit
Understanding The Charismatic Gifts and Their Release
PROPHESY
"The speaking forth of the mind of God, to encourage, exhort, comfort, build up or
strengthen. It is the appropriate Word of God being communicated to people at this
particular Cenacle time in this particular set of circumstances and for this particular
group.." Fr.Peter B. Conklin
On this day of Rememberence of 7/11, I did not teach, but was joined by several others,
and we prayed and shared together. A fallen Catholic from Ireland came in, and I was able
to minister to him, and prayed over him the Conversion Prayer of St Faustina. We all gave
thanksgiving and I left the room early, as I was tired after such an intense Divine Mercy
Cenacle earlier.
Settling down after a late supper, the phone rang. it was my prayer partner of many years,
(a teacher, prayer warrior, and scholar.) He had been inspired to come to me to share this
Scripture, and gave me the following three readings of Scripture. I got my bible and
received a tremendous inspiration to preach on this tonight in the Spirit to all of you.
Being a Prophet is not a popular position to be in. Speaking "Boldly" is even harder, for
you know that you will offend some, shock others, and be the subject of contempt and scorn
of the many, particularly authorities of Mother Church. No less did they do to Jesus, the
prophets of old, and no less will they do for you. It is always so, as we see in the study
of the lives of the saints in Genesis to our current St. Padre Pio.
This is a prime example in how to DISCERN if this message came from God, satan or a human
spirit.This message was received by John, as he did his daily Miracle Hour, which I had
taught him to do,so long ago. This man is known to me as a deep man of prayer and a daily
communicant who spends a lot of time weekly before the Tabernacle. When he had the urge to
share this with me, I knew
immediately this was a message of a Word of Knowledge for me from God. My personal Knowledge
of the man, knowing his personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, and his Obedience to
the Heavenly Father, my seeing the Fruit of the Holy Spirit in John's life,I knew the message
came to me from the Father.
Our Heavenly Father- always brings to us a CONFIRMATION. Through a Word of Knowledge, a Word
of Wisdom. With Expectant Faith, BOLDLY we step out and we accept God's Will, and Phrophesize
through the Promptings of the Holy Spirit.Do you now see and understand How God uses the
Charismns of Corinth, to use you as a Channel of His Peace? These INDEED are TOOLS OF SERVICE.
The more you use them the more fine tuned and adept we become in using them and learn to master
them in prayer.
PROPHESY FROM JOHN TO ME. FROM ME TO YOU,IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
________
James 5:3-6 "Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against
you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your
treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld
by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the
ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton
pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to
death the righteous man; he does not resist you."
(Listen to the nations of the world that AMERICA has not heeded, nor heard their cries for mercy)
Exhortation
"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the
precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late
rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged;
behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. As an example, brethren, of suffering
and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord."
Now when you receive a scriptural message , you must always look ahead of the text,
to see the context.
James 5:
Misuse of Riches
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.
2 Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.
TAKEN INTO THE CONTEXT OF THE NITE; WE ARE IN MEMORIAL OF 7/11, I DISCERN, AND SPEAK
TO YOU AS FOLLOWS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.
Jesus is showing how we 1st World people, who have been given EVERYTHING in the new
Garden of Eden, have let AVERICE, PRIDE and SIN become our gods. Yes we pay lip service
like the Pharisees, to our Heavenly Father. But in Truth, we serve the gods of MATERIALISM
and CONSUMERISM. God is showing us, as you will see later, that the Temples of Money were
brought down to the ground in minutes. Initially, people turned to God for Justice and
Mercy and returned to the Master in droves. But that is and was very short lived. Study
carefully the Words given to you and pray, pray, pray for the conversion of the nation.
For it will destroy itself and the rest of the world if it is not moved by mercy, instead
of hatred.
THE SECOND READING LIKE THE 1ST, IS THE WORD OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN DISCERNMENT AS
WARNING OF THINGS THAT ARE NOW IMMENENT.
Zechariah 5:3-5 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going forth over the
face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to
the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the
writing on the other side. "I will make it go forth," declares the LORD of hosts, "and
it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My
name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and
stones." Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now
your eyes and see what this is going forth."
THE MONEY TREES OF THE WORLD WILL ALL COLLASPE BECAUSE OF GREED, AVERICE, ABORTION, SEX
AND MAN'S PRIDE IN CHANGING THE COMMANDMENTS, TO BRING FORTH NEW LAWS, THAT SPREAD LIKE
NEW CANCERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. MAN'S PRIDE IN CONSIDERING HIMSELF EQUAL TO HIS CREATOR
IN CREATING LIFE, WILL BRING DOWN THE WRATH OF YOUR FATHER ON THE WHOLE WORLD.
AGAIN WE HAVE TO LOOK BACK AT THE CONTEX BEFORE THE PROPHESY
Zechariah 5:
The Flying Scroll
1 Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.
2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" And I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its
length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits."
Now we see that the SCROll was indeed opened. How big is the TRADE CENTER location???
When Our Heavenly Father brings forth a Scriptural Prophesy; it usually comes in threes.
Acts of and writings of the Apostles, Old Testament fulfillment, and a writing from Jesus
in the Gospel Writers, fulfilling a confirmation of each book and chapter of God's people.
Remember it all, will be fulfilled
Luke 3:1-11
John the Baptist Preaches
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was
governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was
tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of
Zacharias, in the wilderness. And he came into all the district around the Jordan,
preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; as it is written in
the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
"THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.
EVERY RAVINE WILL BE FILLED,
AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL WILL BE BROUGHT LOW;
THE CROOKED WILL BECOME STRAIGHT,
AND THE ROUGH ROADS SMOOTH;
AND ALL FLESH WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.'"
So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, "You brood
of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? "Therefore bear fruits in keeping
with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,'
for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
"Indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." And the crowds were questioning
him, saying, "Then what shall we do?" And he would answer and say to them, "The man who
has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise."
My brothers and sisters in Christ, IF YOU HAVE EYES, SEE THE WORD OF GOD!
IF YOU HAVE EARS, HEAR THE WORDS I SPEAK TO YOU
IF YOU HAVE A HEART, TURN TO THE LORD YOUR GOD
AND OBEY HIM IN FAITH , COMPLIENCE AND OBEDIENCE, TO HIS WILL, NOT YOUR WILL, AND SERVE
HIM BY SERVING OTHERS. THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS A CORPOREAL
WORK OF MERCY,TO PRAY FOR CONVERSION OF SINNERS AND FOR THE SUFFERING SOULS IN PURGATORY.
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS COMING TO FULFILL ALL OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. AND YES,
LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST YOU ARE A VOICE THAT CRIES OUT IN THE WILDERNESS.
LET US ALL NOW WORSHIP AND PRAISE THE LORD,

ONLINE PRAYER REQUEST
_____________________
Dear St.Francis, I haven't been online much lately because things haven't been going
real good. My husband's depression and drinking are getting worse.It was so bad the
other day that I finally told him that he had to get help or that was it. At that time
he said if you want to leave, then go. Well I made sure that he knew that it is NOT
that I WANT to leave,but none of us can keep going the way it is going. A little while
later he admitted he needs help, but then when he completely sobered up, it was if he
doesn't feel he has a problem.
He has a doctors appointment on Tuesday, I think the only reason he is going is because
he thinks he might get some pain pills. So I am just going to have to go with him and
talk to the doctor and let her know what is going on. If my husband gets upset about it,
then that's the way it will have to be because as I said, we can't keep going through
this everyday. It is getting to the point where he is missing work because of it and I
am concerned about other health problems. I am asking you to please continue to keep us
in your prayers and on top of all of this I have a financial emergency that has come up
and I need to come up with an extra 500 by tomorrow. I know God will take care of all of
this mess as I have no one else to turn to. I am putting my faith in Him totally. I
don't know how it will turn out, but I do know God will provide!!! Thank you for
all your prayers and words of encouragement, they have meant the world to me and have
helped me to hold my head up and continue to walk with the Lord no matter how hard the
devil tries to stop me. I ask God to bless each one of you in a special way for being
His TRUE SERVANTS. I will be keeping you all in my prayers and heart daily. God bless,
Sheryl

Thursday..September 12, 2002
clamour: As promised, I write this in a journal form...save/ print for my records and
send to StFrancis...I attended the 'Life in the Spirit Seminar tonight...StFrancis was
as gracious, as ever...'full of faith. We waited..to begin, StFrancis's topic was on Prophesy.
One of the Gifts of the Spirit as told in the Scripture He mentioned that prophets are
not a popular thing today.We must discern...where this 'Word' is coming from...is it
from God/...Satan?...or other 'evil spirits'? Words of God" come through 'prophesy'...a
'Word of Knowledge'...Words of Wisdom'....all. come through the Holy Spirit used for
'service' in the 'body of Christ'. StFrancis made 3 references to particular scripture...
James 5:3-6,Zach. 5:3-5,Luke 3:1-11. He taught from these..made comments of Spirit-filled
Wisdom. During the course of the Evening he called upon me to come to the mic. I was
reluctant to speak...but I will try to be obediant Not knowing what to say...I am ,
by nature...a shy woman...'soft spoken, not really wanting to. So I came..I was 'elated'..
God had indeed blessed me with my heart's desire I had prayed for Wisdom', a word to speak
in due season, a Word of Wisdom'...what to say, or even to do..to meet the 'need' at the 'time.
Praise the Lord! I am Happier, for sure. I realize that God is , indeed in this 'room. He
has evidently used this 'poor' voice to 'speak'....COOL !!! The others here were invited
to say what has happened , and share their impressions..to allow the Holy Spirit to 'flow'.
Some were 'reluctant', too.....not remembering that to pray , not using your own understanding
of the sounds that come. No Fears, StFrancis...For what God has begun in this room tonight...
He will see it through to fruition...to the end. I'm am confident in this...he is God! People
are led to believe that from the moment that they encounter God. They are supposed to
automatically become 'saints', go through life with-out committing sin. That's nonsence,
and Theologically incorrect. One of the man,I will pray for my friends here among us in
this 'seminar'...Lord, break down these barriers. There is a seance of 'lack', (poverty),
in one's life...that has not yet discovered the spiritual 'treasure' of your soul. In
'Prophesy'...I speak the Word of Life into these my 'church', my 'family', my 'friends'...
Oh, God...into the lives of the 'lost'!One 'Word'..worth remembering..tonight....Speak ...
and 'Prophesy' over your children...Bless them...See it come to pass. Thank you God..and
thank you StFrancis. God Bless! Goodnight, MARY

May the Peace of Our Lord be with you, Ted. Thank you so much for your prayers and hard
work to keep me in touch with all that is going on in the church. After the prayers on
Thursday night. I read the passages that you mentioned and then read them again the next
day. You worked so hard with all of us in the room. I noticed that many were moved to speak
in tongues. I was not blessed with this gift. My outlook on the gift from the Holy Spirit is,
that many are called but few are chosen. You were so blessed. I believe that He has something
else the He wishes me to do. Maybe to share the Word. I do not believe that I will speak in
tongues, or prophsise but maybe He would like me to evenglize is some other way. I felt a
closeness to all and He really moved me to come closer to Him. With your prayers I will
find a way to share what I have learned. Please take care of yourself. We need you to guide
us and show the way. First you must heal yourself so that your strength is strong and that
you will be here for all of us. The other day in the Divine Mercy room, when all thoes people
came in, I kinda froze but you knew exactly how to handle it. If it had been me , I would have
bounced them all but you waited hoping that some of them had really come into pray. You have
so much to offer and I am very glad that God did put you in my life for a very good reason.
May the Good Lord bless and keep you safe always, Your Sister in Christ, Vickie

I will now speak to night on Satan and his hoardes and recommend you read the books of
Fr.Gabriele Amorth "An Exorcist Tells His Story"
There are very few Exorcisms in North America, even fewer who are well prepared,
and fewer still around the world.There is a great need for them in the Church today
with many people asking for FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION . Both Pope Paul V1, and
John Paul 11 have on numerous occasions asked Bishops to appoint and train Exorcists
and appoint them to their sees. Almost none have done so outside of one or two major
American dioceses, none in Canada that I am aware of!
If you refer to my journals of 1994, (www.sfamds.com)you will see that I was attacked
in oppression by Satan, from Shrove Tuesday to Holy Thursday. But for the prayers of
a very holy prayer lady, and a group of her friends, I know I would not have survived.
Today, Satan is fought by Charismatic Warriors in Deliverance Prayer Groups, but please
pray that bishops will be obedient to the Holy Father for the caring of souls, which
they, in the most part, have abandoned to the medical profession. In direct disobedience
to the Holy Father.
God wants that everyone be saved; no one is predestined to go to hell; Jesus died
for everyone, and everyone is given sufficient graces for salvation. In Paul to the
Philippians 9:2:6-11) "When I speak the words "so that all beings in the heavens, on
earth,and in the underworld should bend at the name of Jesus", I kneel.
These modern theologians who identify Satan with his abstract idea of evil are completely
mistaken. Theirs is a true heresy, that is, it is openly in contrast with the Bible,
the Fathers, and the Majesterium of the Church.
Satan uses the idolatry of sex, which reduces the human body to an instrument of sin,
against the Incarnation of the Word who redeemed man by becoming man. Satan uses his
churches, his cult, his devotees (often consecrated through a pact of blood) his adorers,
the followers of his promises, to mimic the worship due to God.
You must know how he does this, and the forms he uses to capture ones soul in oppression;
ORDINARY ACTIVITY This is "temptation" which is the most common activity of the
demons, and it is directed against all men. When Jesus allowed Satan to tempt Him, He
accepted our human condition. I will now speak of "extrodinary activity" which takes
place only if God allows it. This takes many different forms, and God has given us the
Armor and Sacrementals to defeat Satan in Deliverance Prayer and Holy Exorcism.
EXTERNAL PHYSICAL PAIN CAUSED BY SATAN We know of this by and from many lives of the
saints.We know that St. Paul of the Cross, the Cure of Ars, Blessed Bro. Andre, St.
Padre Pio, and many others were beaten, flogged,and pommelled by demons.This external
form of persecution does not affect the soul, therefore with this type there has never
been the need for an exorcism, only for prayers. Here I will dwell only on the types
that directly affect exorcists and deliverance prayer groups.
DEMONIC POSSESSION This occurs when Satan takes full possession of the body
(not the soul); he speaks and acts without the knowledge or consent of the victim, who
therefore is morally blameless. It is the gravest and most spectacular of afflictions,
and it attracts the attention of producers of movies such as The Exorcist.
DIBOLICAL OPPRESSION I experienced this in 1975 and again in 1994. Symptoms vary from
a very serious illness to a mild illness. There is no possession, loss of consciousness,
or involuntary action and word. The Bible gives us many examples of oppression, one of
them was Job. He was not possessed, but he lost his family, children, his goods, and his
health. This happened to me. The bent man and the deaf and dumb man who were cured by
Jesus were not subject to possession, but there was a demonic presence that caused
physical discomfort. St. Paul was most certainly not possessed by a demon, but he had a
demonic oppression that caused an evil affliction "And to keep me from being to elated
by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given to me in the flesh, a messenger of
satan to harass me." There are many, many, Charismatic Deliverance Prayer Groups who
combat satan for the freedom of oppression, throughout North America, as there are no
Exorcists to help the oppressed soul. But God in His Unfathomable Divine Mercy brings
together and forms these Prayer Warriors.
DIOBOLIC OBSESSION Symtons include sudden attacks, at times ongoing, of obsessive
thoughts, sometimes even rationally absurd, but of such a nature that the victim is unable
to free himself. Therefore the obsessed person lives in a perpetual state of prostration,
desperation, and attempts at suicide. Almost always obsession influence dreams. Some people
will say that this is evidence of mental illness, requiring the services of a psychiatrist
or psychologist. The same could be said of all other forms of demonic phenomena. Some
Symptoms, however, , are so inconsistent with known illnesses that they point with certainty
to their evil origins. Only an exoert and well trained eye can identify the crucial differences.
I experienced this in 1975 and was a year in and out of mental hospitals and institutions
for a year. In the course of this I lost my family, business, reputation and standing in
the community. I was subjected by doctors to eleven shock treatments. In the years between
1975 and 1991, I was relieved from this obsession, which was dormant. But in 1991, it came
back with a vengeance, that almost took my life. I was admitted to the hospital for an
emergency Aorta operation, and received the last rites from Fr. Boniface, OSB, a very holy
Benedictine priest. I died on the table , but was revived. A year later, I again lost
everything, home, business, cars, furnishings,savings, pension funds, EVERYTHING... and
was forced into bankruptcy. But I had Jesus in my heart, and by the grace of God I turned
to Him. On Nov. 25, 1998, while being prayed over by Carmella, a very holy woman. Jesus in a
Word of Wisdom, told me that He had healed my brain of all the scar tissues, and that I was
free of this Diabolic Obsession and would now walk with Him all the days of my life. Had the
Church had experienced exorcists, I would never have had to go through either of these
experiences. Things have not changed yet, as bishops have abandoned their people, in disobedience
to the Holy Father. It is a great Corporal Work of Mercy to ask Jesus to bring you to, and
form you into a deliverance apostle.These people truly are the Poor In Heart.
DIOBOLIC INFESTSTION Infestation affects homes, things, or animals. I merely want to state
that I use this term for things and not persons. Holy Water, Holy Salt and Holy Oil with the
prayers of St. Michael and St Benedict can be used to cleanse these. Followed by prayers of
the Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be are sufficient. Homes should be cleansed regularly
in family prayer. TV, swearing, porno, illicit and homosexual acts in the home, divinations of
Tarot cards, reading of horoscopes, all bring infestations into the home or place of business.
I have included the rituals of Holy Water, Holy Oil and Holy Salt and the prayers for you here,
with scriptural references of God's Will for the care of the souls in your families.
DIOBOLICAL SUBJUGATION, OR DEPENDANCE people fall into this form when they voluntarily
submit to Satan. The two most common forms of dependence are the blood pact with the devil
and the consecration to Satan. This person can only receive healing from an Exorcism. In
today's society, this is a common practice that has been brought to our shores through
immigration, and is rampart in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Pray that bishops are obedient
to the Holy Father in appointing exorcist priests to large parishes, and dioceses, for they
will have to answer to Almighty God for their failure to do so.
THERE IS A WHOLE AREA OF RARELY TAUGHT CATHOLIC TRADITIONS FOR THE FIGHTING OF SATAN AND
HIS HOARDES, THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE BACKGROUND BY OUR BISHOPS AND PRIESTS AND
IS NOT SPOKEN OF. JESUS TOUCHED MY HEART LAST NIGHT TO SPEAK OF THESE THINGS TO YOU TONIGHT.
"Remember, when we jeer at the Devil and tell ourselves that he does not exist, that is
when he is happiest." Fr. Gabriele Amorth
Holy Water
The use of holy water in the earliest days of the Christian Era is attested by documents
of only comparatively late date. The "Apostolic Constitutions", the redaction of which
goes back to about the year 400, attribute to the Apostle St. Matthew the precept of
using holy water.
The letter written under the name of Pope Alexander I, who lived in the second century,
is apocryphal and of more recent times; hence the first historical testimony does not go
back beyond the fifth century. However, it is permissible to suppose for the sake of
argument that, in the earliest Christian times, water was used for expiatory and
purificatory purposes, to a way analogous to its employment under the Jewish Law.
As, in many cases, the water used for the Sacrament of Baptism was flowing water, sea
or river water, it could not receive the same blessing as that contained in the
baptisteries.
On this particular point the early liturgy is obscure, but two recent
discoveries are of very decided interest. The Pontifical of Scrapion of Thumis, a
fourth-century bishop, and likewise the "testamentum Domini", a Syriac composition
dating from the fifth to the sixth century, contain a blessing of oil and water during
Mass.
The formula in Scrapion's Pontifical is as follows: "We bless these creatures in
the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy only Son; we invoke upon this water and this oil the Name
of Him Who suffered, Who was crucified, Who arose from the dead, and Who sits at the right
of the Uncreated. Grant unto these creatures the power to heal; may all fevers, every
evil spirit, and all maladies be put to flight by him who either drinks these beverages
or is anointed with them, and may they be a remedy in the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy only Son."
As early as the fourth century various writings, the authenticity of which
is free from suspicion, mention the use of water sanctified either by the liturgical
blessing just referred to, or by the individual blessing of some holy person. St.
Epiphanius records that at Tiberias a man named Joseph poured water on a madman, having
first made the sign of the cross and pronounced these words over the water: "In the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, crucified, depart from this unhappy one, thou infernal
spirit, and let him be healed!" Joseph was converted an subsequently used the same
proceeding to overcome witchcraft; yet, he was neither a bishop nor a cleric.
Theodoret relates that Marcellus, Bishop of Apamea, sanctified water by the sign of
the cross and that Aphraates cured one of the emperor's horses by making it drink
water blessed by the sign of the cross.
In the West similar attestations are made. Gregory of Tours tells of a recluse
named Eusitius who lived in the sixth century and possessed the power of curing
quartan fever by giving its victims to drink of water that he had blessed; We might
mention many other instances treasured up by this same Gregory.
It is known that some of the faithful believed that holy water possessed curative
properties for certain diseases, and that this was true in a special manner of baptismal
water. In some places it was carefully preserved throughout the year and, by reason of
its having been used in baptism, was considered free from all corruption.
This belief spread from East to West; and scarcely had baptism been administered, when
the people would crowd around with all sorts of vessels and take away the water, some
keeping it carefully in their homes whilst others watered their fields, vineyards, and
gardens with it.
However, baptismal water was not the only holy water. Some was permanently retained at
the entrance to Christian churches where a clerk sprinkled the faithful as they came
in and, for this reason, was called hydrokometes or "introducer by water", an appellation
that appears in the superscription of a letter of Synesius in which allusion is made
to "lustral water placed in the vestibule of the temple".
This water was perhaps blessed in proportion as it was needed, and the custom of the
Church may have varied on this point. Balsamon tells us that, in the Greek Church,
they "made" holy water at the beginning of each lunar month. It is quite possible that,
according to canon 65 of the Council of Constantinople held in 691, this rite was
established for the purpose of definitively supplanting the pagan feast of the new
moon and causing it to pass into oblivion.
In the West Dom Martène declares that nothing was found prior to the ninth century
concerning the blessing and aspersion of water that takes place every Sunday at Mass.
At that time Pope Leo IV ordered that each priest bless water every Sunday in his own
church and sprinkle the people with it: Hincmar of Reims gave directions as follows:
"Every Sunday, before the celebration of Mass, the priest shall bless water in his
church, and, for this holy purpose, he shall use a clean and suitable vessel. The
people, when entering the church, are to be sprinkled with this water, and those
who so desire may carry some away in clean vessels so as to sprinkle their houses,
fields, vineyards, and cattle, and the provender with which these last are fed, as
also to throw over their own food".
The rule of having water blessed for the aspersion at Mass on Sunday was thenceforth
generally followed, but the exact time set by Leo IV and Hincmar was not everywhere
observed. At Tours, the blessing took place on Saturday before Vespers; at Cambrai and
at Aras, it was to be given without ceremony in the sacristy before the recitation of
the hour of Prime; at Albi, in the fifteenth century, the ceremony was conducted in the
sacristy before Terce; and at Soissons, on the highest of the sanctuary steps, before
Terce; whereas at Laon and Senlis, in the fourteenth century, it took place in the choir
before the hour of Terce. There are two Sundays on which water is not and seems never
to be blessed: these are Easter Sunday and Pentecost.
The reason is because on the eve of these two feasts water for the baptismal fonts is
blessed and consecrated and, before its mixture with the holy chrism, the faithful
are allowed to take some of it to their homes, and keep it for use in time of need.
FROM TIME TO TIME ALL HOMES ARE PRONE TO SPIRITUAL ATTACK AND MUST BE BLESSED
Your home is supposed to be your castle, and as such it needs protection. While we live
in a society that largely discounts the existence of evil spirits, there is no doubt
they exist -- and that from time to time they afflict all our homes if we don't take
the proper spiritual measures.
How do we know if we are afflicted? Through prayer, of course: when we pray we're
sensitized and we can ask the Lord to warn us if there is an evil spirit. We know
there is affliction if there are strange noises or shadows or if we are suddenly
overcome by negative emotions when we arrive home or enter a specific room. We know
there is darkness when all of a sudden everything seems to go wrong: when there is
depression or oppression; when there is division; when there are suddenly intense
arguments, often for no reason. An evil spirit can cause everything from insomnia
and general malaise to serious illness. "The presence of evil is manifested by physical
discomfort; insomnia, headaches, or stomachaches; or a general malaise that happens in
that particular place and nowhere else," writes Father Gabriele Amorth, Rome's official
exorcist, in a powerful book we highly recommend called An Exorcist Tells His Story.
If time after time we experience a swing of emotion on entering a locale, we need to
pray to discern the situation. This is not to say that every depressed mood and every
argument comes from a demon. But it is to say that such spirits trouble us more than
we know -- and that they often attach themselves to a residence.
How does this happen? How does evil lay claim to a house?
There is the obvious: the evil that comes when we sin (when our homes are used for acts
that contravene moral teaching, especially by way of drugs, homosexuality, or prostitution),
or if the occult has been practiced in a home (astrology, Tarot cards, Ouija boards,
seances, numerology, crystals). But spirits can also infiltrate more subtly. They can
come from the books we have, or the programs and movies we watch, or what we do on a
computer. They can come with those who have spirits attached to them. They can come
with heavy-metal posters that are hanging in our kids' rooms. Just as a holy book,
picture, or statue brings a blessing, so does a dark item bring oppression.
In short, there are countless ways that evil enters. Sometimes it comes as a mere test.
Sometimes there is no explanation. But there is always a solution. The solution is the
Name Jesus, and in His Name, all evil, however strong or weak, must leave. It's a matter
of invoking His Name in the right way, and often a matter of persistence. When we feel a
dark cloud over our homes, we need to start with the sacramentals. Get an abundant supply
of Holy Water, and then pray as you sprinkle some in every room (from basement to top
floors and even the attic). Click here for a prayer to use as you do this. Or just say
Our Fathers, Hail Marys. Invoke the Blood of Christ. Remember St. Michael! Ask for the
intervention of the Blessed Mother.
Fill your homes with prayer and evil must leave and pray to fill it with angels.
Even if your home is not specially afflicted, this should be done on a regular basis, at
least weekly in these times when evil is so rampant. It only takes a few minutes. There
is also Blessed Salt, which is as powerful as Holy Water. Have a priest bless salt in a
plastic bag just as he would Holy Water (it is an official sacramental), and use this
also -- especially in stubborn cases. In such instances, having a Mass said in a home
can lift an oppression. Father Pellegrino Ernetti, the most well-known exorcist in the
Venice area (also famous as a biblical and music scholar) has advised those in strong
cases "to mix in a cup or glass exorcised water, oil, and salt; then every evening, to
pour a teaspoon of the mixture on the ledge of every window and at the threshold of
every door, praying the Our Father while doing it," according to Father Amorth's book.
Is this all hokum? Is this what critics of Catholic practices, or the modernists, would
call paranoia or superstition?
Naturally, we have to have balance. We can't get too swept up in watching for demons.
Our eyes are to be trained upward! But it is true. We saw a case ourselves recently
whereby a person who was involved with a very questionable situation was coming to
our home and we blessed the entrance with Holy Water -- with the specific prayer that
no evil spirit would be able to follow this person in.
At the end of the evening, when this person was ready to leave, and a prayer was in
progress, suddenly there was a loud disturbance just outside the front door -- the
wind kicking up in a way that startled and surprised everyone -- and a Christmas
angel out front was knocked over, right at the threshold (as if whatever was around
was angry because it couldn't get in).
Coincidence?
We don't think so. We think instead that these days, with so much darkness, every
threshold could use a blessing.
PRAYER FOR LIBERATION OF A HOME
"Lord, we believe in the Word of Scripture which says:
'If we live our lives in the light, as he is in the light, we are in union with one
another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin.' (1 Jn. 1:7)
Therefore, we ask You, O Eternal Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus, that any type
of sin committed in this house, violating the peace and sanctity of a truly Christian
home, be washed and cleansed through the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus who takes
away all the sin of the world, dishonesty, hatred, and evil.
(Say that prayer in all the rooms of the house and sprinkle Holy Water before
entering the house and each room.)
At the end (thank the Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, since all
darkness and evil have left forever that residence.)
O Heavenly Father, we believe that the night is ending and daylight is getting close.
Therefore, we want to abandon the works of darkness and put on the armor of the Light
(cf. Rm. 13:12).
Heavenly Father, we want to stand up, to gird ourselves with the truth and to be
protected by the breastplate of justice, with the shoes of the Gospel of peace on
our feet, always firmly gripping the shield of that faith with which we are able
to ward off and extinguish the burning arrows of the evil one. And we want to wear
the helmet of the salvation of Jesus Christ and the sword of the Holy Spirit which
is the Word of God. (cf. Ep. 6:14-17)
Holy Father, in the name of Our Lord Jesus, we thank You from the bottom of our
heart because You drove away forever all darkness and evil from this house.
Lord Jesus, our Beloved Savior, bless this house and each one of those who live
here, so that the light of Your protective presence, full of love and peace, may
enter and always remain here as a sign of Your infinite mercy!
Holy Spirit of the Father and Son, increase in us more and more faith and trust
in the power of the Resurrected Lord! Amen. Alleluia!"
(Say: Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.)
Today we pray with The Holy Name of Mary, St. Ailbhe, St. Eanswida, St. Guy, Bl.
Apollinaris and companions, and Bl. Victoria.
ANOTHER SACRAMENTAL NEEDED BY YOU IS HOLY SALT FOR USE IN MINISTRY. THE CHURCH HAS
ALWAYS ENCOURAGED THE USE OF HOLY SALT TO BE USED BY THE FAITHFUL, AND ENCOURAGES
US TO USE IT FREQUENTLY IN PRAYING OVER ONE ANOTHER AND THE BLESSING OF OUR HOMES
AND PROPERTIES.
Exodus 30:35
"With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure,
and holy.
Numbers 18:19
"[Num 18:11] All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer
to the LORD, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a
perpetual allotment. It is [2 Chr 13:5] an everlasting covenant of salt before
the LORD to you and your descendants with you."
(Whole Chapter: Numbers 18 In context: Numbers 18:18-20)
AGAIN THE USE OF HOLY OIL IS NECESSARY FOR EVERY CATHOLIC HOME, TO BE USED IN
PRAYING OVER ONE ANOTHER, PARTICULARLY THE SICK, THE NEEDY AND THE POOR.
Psalm 89:20
"I have [1 Sam 13:14; 16:1-12; Acts 13:22] found David My servant; With My holy
[1 Sam 16:13] oil I have anointed him,
(Whole Chapter: Psalm 89 In context: Psalm 89:19-21)
Zechariah 14:21
Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be [Neh 8:10; Rom 14:6, 7;
1 Cor 10:31] holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and
take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a [Zeph 1:11]
Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts in that day.
(Whole Chapter: Zechariah 14 In context: Zechariah 14:20-22)
