Victory over sin


If you judge yourself – that means, you admit your sin truly before God here in time, you can taste forgiveness in this light. God’s Word says: “If we judge ourselves, God is so good and just to forgive us our sins.”

People can overcome sin neither by means of psychology, nor by modern theologies, nor by oriental meditations… The victory depends on our deep communion with Christ. The essential thing is to be in Christ Jesus, our Lord, by faith. It means that in the particular present moment I am in Him not only passively but at that moment I love Him with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my strength.

To love Him means to offer Him my spiritual powers – heart = emotions, soul = powers of the soul, i.e. memory and reason, as well as my members. To love Him with all my strength means to give Him my will.

Reflection on Jn 14:23


If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Jesus said these words the night before His death. These and other words, which He said before His death, are contained in chapters 13-17 of John’s Gospel. Jesus speaks about love which is necessarily connected with the keeping of His commandments. Jesus repeats: “He who loves Me will be loved by My Father.” (v.21) There are commandments given by God in the Decalogue and commandments and various obligations related to the rites of purification, especially burnt offerings of bulls and lambs and the sprinkling of blood. It is contained in the Second to Fifth Books of Moses. This just prefigured the redemptive death of Christ on the cross. In Christ, this all was accomplished. The record of debt was cancelled (cf. Col 2:14). Jesus the Son of God acts as the Law-giver on His own authority. He repeats several times: “But I say to you…” Jesus does not abolish the Decalogue; on the contrary, He points out its essence. He points to the root of sin, lusts, pride, hatred, revenge. Citation of Christ’s commandments: “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.” (Mt 5:21-26)

Prayer in urgent need

It involves seven days of prayer. In case of a very serious problem the prayer can be said repeatedly for seven weeks. The Holy Spirit descended on the fiftieth day. The fiftieth year was the year of the Lord’s favour.“Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.” (Jn 16:23)

Monday

O Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom, most sweet and adorable Jesus, true God and true Man, only Son of the Eternal Father and of Mary ever Virgin, I adore You profoundly in the bosom and the splendour of Your Father through eternity, and in the virginal womb of Mary, Your most worthy Mother at the time of Your Incarnation. I return You thanks for having emptied Yourself, taking upon You the form of a slave (Phil 2:7) to deliver me from the cruel slavery of the devil. Now I accept and until death I want to accept this humility.


My Lord, if I excelled in fasting, prayer, generosity, innocence or any other virtue, it would all come to nought without humility.

Everything must be built on sound foundation – Jesus Christ


“Pope” Francis urges people to receive the “mark of the beast”


Ukraine, 30 September 2014
In May this year, “Pope” Francis uttered a statement that shocked the whole world! Bergoglio approved and blessed the “mark of the beast”, calling RFID-chips God’s blessing for mankind.
Francis said: “We have examined the Scriptures thoroughly, and I can conclusively say that there’s nothing to indicate that RFID Chips are Satanic in anyway. If anything, these devices are a blessing from God himself, bestowed upon humanity to solve many of the world’s ills.” (http://praisedc.com/1710415/pope-francis-gives-support-to-rfid-chip-implantation-shocking-video)
The statement by this so-called “Pope” is a betrayal of God, the height of blasphemy and lies. It is an obvious sin against the Holy Spirit!
Bergoglio is a false prophet with the spirit of the world. 20 years ago, Orthodox monks of Mount Athos pronounced a clear word of prophecy in God’s Spirit when they warned insistently against chipping.
