Man Asleep

In last week’s writing, “Unprepared”, I shared with you a very recent spiritual dream that showed various segments of the population and their state of spiritual unpreparedness for coming times.  It showed many people in the world are spiritually ‘asleep’.  But what does this mean?  To be spiritually asleep means to be devoid or unsure of faith in God and belief in a life to come after this earthly one.  It means being unconcerned about spiritual things altogether and living preoccupied solely with the things of this world.  Someone spiritually asleep may stumble across this article and say to themselves “Don’t bother me with this stuff.”  I understand.  I was once spiritually asleep!

The process of waking up for me happened gradually, before I started experiencing the profound things of the last nine years or so.  It seems to happen as we go through life and start to hit some really bumpy roads.  I think this is why God permits the bumpy roads.  It serves to mold us, change us, wake us.  If life was a smooth superhighway of good times, what nudge would we have to think about our spirits?  For others, though, the bumpy roads make them lose faith.  Sometimes it takes witness of someone they trust or a personal moment of grace to make them start to ponder these things.  I remember hitting a point in my mid-thirties, after quite a bumpy ride myself, where I was more awakened spiritually, but didn’t know God was real.  I still remember the day I stood in my laneway saying goodbye to a good friend after an afternoon chat, saying “You know – if God and this spiritual stuff isn’t real, then it should be.  If we all lived with love, what a different world this would be.”  It wasn’t long after that day, that I received my first real ‘taste’ of proof (see My Angel Story).

My gratitude for this ‘proof’ is profound.  I shudder to think that I might not know all that I know today.  I shudder for the people of the world that do not know and do not care to know.  I shudder because I am starting to see and believe that my calling in this fledgling ministry is to help other people to know before it is too late.

There is a book gaining popularity, especially in Catholic circles, called Divine Mercy in My Soul:  Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.  It is one of the central books used in the Divine Mercy Cenacles, information about which can be found in this website.  It has received the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur of the Catholic Church, which is a declaration that a book or pamphlet is considered to be free from doctrinal or moral error.  In Divine Mercy in My Soul Saint Faustina records experiences and messages from Mary and Jesus, two of which I would like to share with you today, as I believe they will serve to illuminate experiences I share in this writing and those I will be sharing in future:

Write this:  before I come as the Just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy.  Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort:
All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth.  Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time.  This will take place shortly before the last day. (Jesus to St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul:  Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. c.1993 Congregation of The Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy; entry #83)

and

Write down these words, My daughter.  Speak to the world about My mercy:  let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy.  It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice.  While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy…(Ibid., entry#848)

I include these messages at this time for very good reason.  As difficult as it is for me to say this, and indeed difficult to have been living it, I believe my mission, and the mission of others (such as www.markmallet.com/blog/ ), is to issue warning and help prepare the world for our times, the coming times and God’s justice.  This is no easy thing and something I take very seriously.  Having said that I think most people need only look at the latest news forecast or read the latest headline to see that things in the world need to change, and soon, to steer us back to a better path of being.  God’s path.  Love’s path.  Because God is the best of parents, He does what any good parent does when it sees it’s child is behaving badly – He warns.  Because He is patient He continues to warn.  He admonishes.  Then,  if necessary, because His warnings are not heeded, He must punish in order to make the child aware of its errors and to correct it, in order to do the child a service in the long run.

Some of you may say at this point , ‘What warnings?’  To that I answer:  The Bible, the Church, evangelists, witness and example of good friends, personal moments of grace, recognized prophets, Mary in many apparitions throughout the centuries (notably at length in Medjugorje – www.medjugorje.org ) and let us not forget the inner bell of common sense!  “If God and this spiritual stuff isn’t real then it should be.  If we all lived with love, what a different world this would be.”  God is love.  God is calling us to love.  Having said all this, I feel it would be a disservice to you and a failure to fulfill my own calling if I did not impart to you some things that will probably feel like tough love.  In fact as you see the writings and sharing unfolding on this site over time I think you will feel like much of it is tough love.  However, I impart these things to you with love as warning.  I believe the current economic rumblings we are experiencing are only the beginning of waves of change.  Please take heed to the wake-up call and if you have already done so, please pray as much as you can for those who have not.  To that end I enclose two of many vivid dreams that I think have been given to me to share in order to do my own small part to encourage all to discern the times we are in and be prepared for them:

Woman Walking

I had a brief dream of walking down a road and pouring out my love to Jesus – telling Him how much I missed Him and how I wished I could see Him more often. I was just talking out loud to Him as I walked – talking from my heart as I walked on this empty, open, country road. I saw no other people or buildings etc. It was clear, open and vast feeling. 

Just then I saw to my left this scene: Two cables – the end of the cables was anchored in the sky beyond my sight. Coming down on them were two cars or seats coming down from the sky on a diagonal, curving trajectory – like a descent on ski cables. Mary was in the first with Jesus directly behind her. Jesus was dressed in a red robe and Mary had her right arm up across her face high like a shield as they approached the road. She was shielding us from divine wrath from the Father from the sky as she came down. They appeared like poised, forward leaning statues in the seats as they were bearing down on the road in a very direct, purposeful trajectory. Even though I knew they had descended thus, it was their position at the road that was the focus (of where they are now).

I understood instantly the meaning of this vision: Mary has come first – shielding us from divine wrath (I was particularly reflecting in the dream at this scene on the fact that she has been appearing with such length and regularity and urgency at Medjugorje – www.medjugorje.org ), but Jesus is RIGHT behind her and when He reaches the road (they were both right at the edge of the road to my left as I saw this) OH!!!, the sadness for the world!!! Justice!!! I saw what His coming will be for the world in a moment of instant knowledge and sight in my heart – not a vision of events. I started to sob uncontrollably for the souls of the world – how upset I was in this moment for the world and its sin and unpreparedness. My heart and voice instantly changed its prayer from the loving talk I was having to Jesus to pleading for the world with sobbing tears of sorrow – sorrow that the world is so unprepared and in need of prayer. I also felt, and this has stayed with me, such profound gratitude to Mary for what she has been doing for us in shielding us – you should see how virulently she has been doing this!

This flash scene was like a reminder to me that the cry of prayer now should be urgent intercessory prayer for the world to help it prepare for His coming because He is not at the top of His descent; He is not in the middle of His descent: He is right at the edge of the road!

The Sands of Time

 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2007

Words heard from Jesus in a half wake-half dream state.  I did not see Him:

“Bring forth the sands of time to compassionate My Wounds.”

 ‘The Sands of Time’ is defined as follows:

“The Sands of Time is an idiom meaning that time runs out either through something reaching an end or through a person’s death.  It comes from the sand used in hourglasses, an ancient way of measuring time.”  (www.UsingEnglish.com)

I feel these two experiences go hand in hand and create a very compelling urgency for our times.  They represent the passing of time – that our world is not as stable as we think.  These and many other experiences that will be shared in future leave me pondering my situation in the world before God and I share them that you may ponder also.
