BE  COURAGEOUS

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this cloudy day! The clouds are breaking up in the west,
so we might have sun later on in the day. I was at Palmer Road Church
last evening with Father Lou. He celebrated the Holy Eucharist at 7:30
PM with the purpose of healing our family tree. As many sicknesses have
a hereditary aspect to it, so does spiritual sicknesses. He prayed that
the Lord would break this bad influence so we can be free.

In my prayer this morning, Jesus spoke to me saying, "Melvin, my dear
friend, I love you. When I return at the end of time will I find faith
on the earth? This is the question I asked before I left the earth to
return to the Father. Today people are attracted by so many things. They
have made gods of sport, material things, money, alcohol, drugs,
witchcraft and all kinds of pagan practices. These have no power to save
you for they will all wither away. They can only enslave you. I am the
only Saviour of the world. Yet, I am being kept out of classrooms, radio
shows, parliaments and governments, the media, etc. In some countries of
the world, it is forbidden for Christians to go to Church to pray. It is
even thought by some that it is a good thing to kill Christians. Yet
there is a small group of my brothers and sisters who believe in me with
all their heart and they have given their lives to me. They oppose the
world with its false values and rejection of me. You, my dear friends, I
bless you and strengthen you with the Holy Spirit. Your are the remnant
who is loyal to me and lives in union with me. You are the joy of my
heart. Be courageous every day and do not be afraid of those who oppose
me. Pray for them that they may be converted. I love you."

Jesus quotes the Bible concerning the question about faith in the world
when He returns at the end of the world. Indeed it looks like many are
abandoning Jesus to pursue false gods and Jesus gives us the name of
some of them. The people are more attracted by the wiles of the devil
than by the salvation brought to us by Jesus, the Lord. A measure of the
weakness of the faith is the return of witchcraft among the people. It
shows that the devil has captured many in his grip. Jesus said that we
are either for Him or against Him. There are no other options. If we are
not for Him then we are in league with the devil and in opposition to
Him. The evil one is very clever and he is able to take things we like
and turn them to his advantage. It is very important to examine
ourselves with regards to our attitudes to ordinary things such as TV,
videos, sports, Hallowe'en, books, magazines, abortion, homosexuality,
etc. If they affect our faith in God, then there is something wrong. We
have to be courageous to get rid of everything that alienates us from
the Lord. Instead we have to be strong to persevere in our prayer and
good works. Jesus calls those who follow Him, the remnant, the faithful
group who are His friends. Let us pray daily for the conversion of all
those who live far away from God.

I will not send a message tomorrow because I will be on the road early.
Mabou is a good distance from here. I ask you again to keep the weekend
in your prayers.

May the Lord anoint us with the Holy Spirit and give us the strength to
follow Him every day.
 
Father Melvin
