Thursday, December 15, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, in this vision of the Jordan River you remember well where I was baptized by St. John the Baptist. St. John was My herald in the desert preparing the way for My coming public ministry. Even when My Blessed Mother visited St. Elizabeth, he leapt in her womb on My arrival as an unborn child. St. John called for the people to repent of their sins and change their lives with his baptism of water in the Jordan River. When St. John baptized Me, he saw the dove representing the Holy Spirit and he heard My Father speak: ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’(Matt. 3:17) With that he proclaimed Me as the Lamb of God and asked his followers to follow Me. He even claimed that he must decrease while I would increase. St. John was outspoken to Herod because Herod married his brother’s wife. He even risked martyrdom to proclaim My message. St. John is a witness to all of My faithful how he was committed to bringing souls to Me in his mission. Rejoice in the gift of his life when he fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy of a voice crying out in the desert who announced My coming.”

Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, there are many sinners on earth, but I am showing you the worst sinners that are mired in the filth of their mortal sins. Unless prayers are said constantly for these souls, or they receive a miracle of My grace, they could be lost forever in the pits of hell. The more often people commit mortal sins, the harder it becomes to come to Confession to receive My mercy of forgiveness. A person needs to desire to be with Me more than the desire for one’s sins. Souls, who are this lost, will require much prayer to strip the demons of their bad habits.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen a large divorce rate in America. These problems have contributed to putting some fear in couples, so they are living together instead. Even when you encourage these couples to get married, it is not always carried out. It is a sin of fornication to live together with relations. People, who live like this, are living in mortal sin, and they either need to live separately, or get married if they truly love each other. Your society has accepted living together and divorces without annulments. These situations of living together are very strong occasions of sin. Pray for these couples to desire a pure spiritual marriage instead of living in sin.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is not easy to point out the sexual sins that people are committing often. Three more such sins are with homosexual acts, masturbation, and using birth control devices and operations as vasectomies and tubal ligations. These are all serious sins against the Sixth Commandment. I call My people to live pure and chaste lives, but if you fall into these sexual sins, you should come to Confession to purify your soul in order to receive Holy Communion worthily. I have been speaking of these sexual sins because many souls are being lost to hell because of the desire for these immoral pleasures.”

Jesus said: “My people, all souls are going to have a Warning experience to wake them up to see where their lives are leading them. During this experience, some souls will receive a mini-judgment to hell, and they will experience a little of what it would be like in hell. Unfortunately, even some of these souls will desire the pleasure of their lust rather than change their lives to good. After the Warning My faithful will need to work hard to bring your family members back to Me before it is too late, and they could be lost to hell. If you saw how much these souls suffer in hell, you would be more inspired to evangelize souls so they could be saved from this infinite punishment.”

Jesus said: “My people, once a soul has been in purgatory for a long time, the relatives stop praying for these souls. You have seen some souls given a grace to try and contact the living souls for prayers. The deeper in purgatory that souls are, the harder it is to find someone to pray for them. This is why I have encouraged My faithful to pray for the souls in purgatory, especially for all of your past relatives. Only few souls go straight to heaven, which means many souls are in need of your prayers and Masses to bring them to heaven quicker. You know how painful it is to suffer burns, so help these souls so they could be raised out of these flames.”

Jesus said: “My people, years ago you could see long lines at the confessional because these souls knew the need to cleanse their souls frequently. Unless My priest sons encourage the people to come to Confession, the people will put it off indefinitely out of spiritual laziness. My people need to wake up to their sins and examine their consciences to see the need for My forgiveness of their sins. If you truly love Me, you will work to minimize your sinful habits, and go to frequent Confession to keep a pure soul.”

Jesus said: “My people, if you want to know your sinful habits, think of the sins that you confess the most in your confessions. It is not easy to admit that you are a sinner, and it can be embarrassing to keep confessing the same sins without making any spiritual improvements. During Lent and Advent you could try fasting to control one of your bad habits. Think of what conditions or near occasions of sin that lead you into that sin. Then try to avoid situations that could lead you into your habitual sin. By focusing on working to stop a particular sin, and by asking My help in prayer, you could conquer this sin. But if you do not make an effort to root it out, then you are allowing the devil to have his way with you. Trust in My help and you can have a holier life.”
