The Heavenly Host abides with God’s people throughout the centuries, no matter the trials and tribulations, they are always beside us.

I cannot stress strongly enough the need to call upon them for assistance. Led by Michael, they defend, protect, guide, and strengthen.

At various times throughout the history of the world, their presence strengthens and becomes more evident by virtue of those who rise through the Grace of the Holy Spirit to speak the Words from Heaven’s Throne and to conduct whatever He ordains.

Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael have been given over fully to the world, each with their own appointment, prepared to perform the dictates of the Father through the Son. We have Our Lord, them, and one another.

We stand victorious through Christ the Victor, who conquered and vanquished evil with the single raise of a tiny infant hand.

What we can do is what He commanded:

Love one another.

Care for the hungry, sick, poor, imprisoned, orphaned, widowed…

Pray, trust, believe, and above all,

be hopeful.

Do not let evil steal your hope, because it will try with all its might to cause doubt, fear, desperation, and hopelessness, to divide and conquer.

When circumstances feel beyond all control, know that He remains in control.

Evil wants what it has always wanted: control of this world. But God is always full of surprises, and this time is no different.

Do not think He will do whatever it is you think He will do.

But watch and be amazed at His greatness even more in the coming days.

The Good News did not end with His Ascension into Heaven.

It simply began and continues forever and ever.

Amen.

Greetings Brothers and Sisters.

The winds of change are upon us and the Holy Spirit moves throughout the world during this time of extreme spiritual warfare.

We must not let down our guard, not even for a moment, for the forces of evil will not simply lie down and roll over in defeat. In fact, the citizens of Hell have ramped up their attack, running blindly amuck without their leader.

The stronger we grow together in Spirit, the more we drive back the forces of evil. The enemy shall be identified as a spiritual conglomeration of beings bent on destroying the most innocent among us: the children. Thus, we must call upon the Name of Jesus to counter this force with a Heavenly arsenal of Grace, Strength and Wisdom conferred through the Gifts of the Spirit.

All peoples must embrace the moment to speak the Truth, because this is our greatest weapon against the deceptions, lies and illusions established through the doctrines of Hell. Little by little, the lies will be dragged forth into the Light and destroyed. The Truth shall be revealed as Him who is the only Way to Life.

Avoid all temptation to judge others, lest you be judged accordingly. There are those in place to fulfill a Divine purpose unbeknownst to us as mortals. Pray for those caught in the conflict of doubt and fear, for they too are loved by the Father. He alone will move all beings when and where they need to be on time for the revelation of Salvation.

I pray for all of you, and especially for President Trump, that your spirits may find strength in Christ, to confront evil with the Truth, to lay down the manmade weapons of war when entering your own spiritual battles, and to adorn the breastplate and armor of Christ Jesus.

Remember, we are not the enemy to one another. This enemy is far more intellectual and elusive. Look into the mirror, and pray for discernment, so that we each might be truly strengthened in our struggles for true conversion.

The Good News continues outside the realm of worldly matters, for it is eternal.

God bless.

“I am the vine, you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.”

And this vine bears the only life-giving nourishment for the spirit or soul, because all other dead or dying vines bear rotten, decayed fruit that feed the empty carcasses filled with the maggots and worms of destruction and death.

These branches grow strong and spread from this vine supporting the fruitfulness of good labor. They take root and hold fast to the Truth, always taking strength from the vine that yet thrives amid even the worst conditions. Forever displaying a unity of purpose and service to the vine, the branches produce much good and the fruit of their labor is seen.

There are many branches among this vine, some small, some large, but all belong in equal measure. From least to the greatest, the vine sustains itself and its members as one. Where there appear to be separate components, the Truth remains they are enjoined.

The roots go deep, so deep they cannot be uprooted.

The vine survives each season, and its branches do so likewise. It does not perish with environmental factors, and it overcomes all pestilence and drought. It rebounds from darkness into light with the rise of each new day, as though the night serves its purpose without question.

With each new branch added to its members, we see this vine climb higher and higher until it towers far above the world. And we rise to new heights along with the vine, as together we grow stronger, spreading the fruitful goodness of our labor to a languishing world in need of the life-giving sustenance provided by the vine.

St. Thomas, the apostle, aka “doubting Thomas,” is the first scientist called by Jesus. He brought to the apostolic ministry a unique perspective on God and science. When told of Christ’s Resurrection and subsequent appearance to Mary Magdalene, he responded, “I will believe when I see Him for myself; when I can place my fingers in the nail wounds on His hands and feet; when I can put my hand into the wound left by the sword in His side.”

When Jesus appeared in the room where the Apostles remained in hiding, He called Thomas by name and bid him do what he demanded. Thomas placed his fingers in the wounds on His hands and feet, placed his hand into the wound on Christ’s side, and proclaimed what faith did not allow prior to doing so:

“Truly, You are risen, Lord.”

Whereas fear kept the other Apostles in hiding, it was doubt that held Thomas apart from the gift of faith. One need not discover the facts prior to believing they exist. However, we do require faith to pursue facts regarding abstract and/or supernatural matters. To venture into such territories without faith, or with blind faith, leaves us vulnerable to the machinations of illusory powers. How does one then separate the Truth from the lies?

Sight is not merely a sensory perception. It is also an inner aspect of humanity comprised of the spirit or soul. We know such things exist within all living beings to various degrees. It exists within humans to a greater extent than other beings but only because we are fashioned after God’s image. How we develop that image to its fullest depends upon our words and deeds. We are given the gift of free will; to know and choose right from wrong.

Was Thomas wrong in choosing to question the faith of his brothers and sisters upon hearing the news of Christ’s Resurrection? No, but he chose to seek the proof first and faith second. Therein lies the conundrum.

Seeing, understanding, and unraveling abstract or supernatural matters demands faith first, proof second.

Blessed are you who believe without “seeing” and “touching,” for you are both seen and touched.

Blessed be our scientific brothers and sisters, for they seek the same whether they know it or not. Their pursuit to unravel mysteries benefits our quest for greater knowledge and understanding of God’s existence. In the process, we hopefully benefit from their pursuits to better the world for humanity, and they in turn, draw closer to a God who beckons them to look more closely.

His angels walk with me.

They catch me when I stumble and lift me when I fall.

Whatever wounds I sustain, they heal through the power of God and set me back upon my path.

Thank You, Lord, for their presence and protection.

Angels guide my course and direction, because I call on them for the Divine assistance they provide. They abandon me not in the face of evil, for they do not fear to go where I tread in service to the King.

For whomever calls upon the Heavenly Host in the name of Jesus, receives their absolute attention and grace-filled guidance. Therefore, call upon them daily, minute by minute, hour by hour. Take the hands they offer and make of them a strength filled device by which you daily walk in flesh and soar in spirit. They exist in every aspect of existence. Though perhaps you have not yet seen them, know they walk among us with the powerful presence of God. From Him they derive their supernatural ability to come and go, to be seen or unseen, to work the miraculous deeds of Him who abides in everything.

We do not call upon the angels as we should.

Whether you choose to acknowledge and call upon your Guardian Angel, or another, or all of them at once, simply call. They are bound to answer, to acknowledge any and all entreaties raised in the Name of Jesus. These guardians of the faithful are a gift from God the Father. Who among us has no need of such a powerful gift?

Then open it!

The rush of a Heavenly wind will sweep through your life, your home, your spirit.

It is one more way God makes His loving presence known; a most powerful way.

The angels continually ministered to Christ during His mission upon earth. He Himself made their presence known in Scripture, so that we could imitate His acknowledgement of their Heavenly presence during times of sorrow, great distress, helplessness, and fear. They never abandoned Our Lord, and even He spoke the words stating He need only call upon His Father to send a legion to His side.

Do the same.

Imagine, if we called upon the Heavenly Host at once in a daily manner, what power would fill the world. We could lose no battles once enjoined to them through the power of Jesus. We would become a Heavenly army like no other. Our strength, our courage, our faith, would become a power to drive back the forces of evil from every darkened corner of existence.

Therefore, call upon the angels.

They exist for us in every time, through every season.

Michael, Commander in Chief of the Heavenly Host, lead your brothers and sisters to dwell among us, to assist us in our efforts to conquer ourselves in willing submission to the King. Help us, dear brother, to live as though Heaven indeed exists upon the Earth under direct supervision of the King, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to live as though the enemy is even now outnumbered.

Come, sweet Michael, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Amen.
