If the Holy Spirit came upon all, why only the Pope claims such Illumination?


FROM OUR FILES: January 31, 2005

Do you ever wonder... Why, if the Holy Spirit of God, in effect, came upon the whole of mankind (1) at Pentecost, only the Roman Pontiff can claim such Illumination and demand the blind obedience of the rest of the Christian Faithful?

But then again, how else could the masses be controlled and manipulated?

               
(1) Came upon those who were in the Upper Room at the time and, consequently, upon all Christians who are baptized thereafter. Which brings up another question – if the Holy Spirit of God is “the sole property” of Christians, how come the Muslims have given such prominence to Mary – to the point of officially ascribing Her the Immaculate Conception status much earlier than Christians ever dreamt of doing so? Would satan do that? Think again!

Miguel, Why so negative?


FROM OUR FILES: May 2nd, 2012

From (Mrs.) B @ US

Regarding your recent statement that: "The only thing left to do is pray for ourselves and others and to strengthen our faith to enable us to navigate through these most dangerous and treacherous waters of the Apocalypse. There is nothing else to do that will produce any kind of good fruit."

Miguel, Why so negative? The World is negative enough. Christians are to be positive and filled the joy of the Holy Spirit. The End is near but the door has not yet been closed. Now is the time to bring those stubborn family members and friends who have hardened their hearts to Jesus Christ, to wake them out of their slumber. This will be "producing good fruit". The Holy Spirit is being outpoured today, use this time wisely!

Never give up on Jesus and the miracles he can perform in someone who has a hardened their heart, Jesus doesn't give up on us.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:8]

People need to repent of their ugly sins and stop offending God. They must turn away from chasing their fleshy idols of (hours of TV, Hollywood movies, sports, shopping for the latest gadget, gossiping, drinking, partying etc.. ) and live right for Jesus Christ's sake.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham". [Matthew 3:7-9].

May the grace of Jesus be with you,

Mrs. B.


Answer

Did you miss what we meant by "The only thing left to do is pray for ourselves and others and to strengthen our faith to enable us to navigate through these most dangerous and treacherous waters of the Apocalypse."

Is that negative? No, dear sister, that is being constructive and realistic.

To announce or proclaim the adversities that are ahead is not "negativism". The Scripture is full of examples where the prophets announce, in The Name of God, the adversities that awaits humanity. On the other hand, the false prophets in the Scriptures, did the contrary. The last ones, tried to proclaim what was sweet to the ears of the people, although it was opposed to the duty of the true prophets.

Will we say that God was "negative" because of the message given by His prophets? No, He was not! On the contrary, He was Merciful because He allowed nothing that was not announced before. The announcements of the different chastisements were His way of claiming His Glory to all of those who forgot that He is in charge of all the destinies. We are now in the same situation of our predecessors!

In the end, the prophesies are not the property of the prophets; they belong to God and are to be proclaimed how and when He deems it appropriate. The prophets are only His instruments, the tool at His hands to reach His people. Who are we to judge the ways of God? Our ways aren't His and neither they are better than His!

Do "the Eyes to See and the Ears to Hear" depend on being positive or negative about the reality that surround us? Have you realized what it means "to be in a worst situation than in Noah's time?" Are you prepared to deal with demons, as near as your family members or close friends? Are you prepared to struggle with catastrophes, scarcity of food, plagues and wars and the mark of the beast - all at the same time?

People who know what is to come are the ones better prepared with greater faith, fervent prayer and able to help those in need during the time of test.

I strongly suggest that those who believe that in These Times what is needed is (false) positivism, should think about if they are prepared to give good fruits in the middle of the Tribulation. Remember, character is formed through the adversities we find in our lives, and These Times can be hardly called "positive" in the short term analysis.

Were the prophets of the Old Testament lacking the illumination of the Holy Spirit? Did they not suffer because the announcements they made in the Name of God where not heard? In such situation the only joy we can expect to have is to know that one is fulfilling the Will of God and that a few, the Elect, will listen and act upon the warnings and recommendations thus minimizing their suffering.

"Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice." [Hebrews 12:11].

My the Holy Spirit of God help you understand the full message of this response.
