deepen your “yes”

This generation doesn't have anything to live for, because they have nothing that they will die for. What are the Values, what is the purpose and goals, what are the gifts we have to share? BE THAT, for the Glory of God.

There is an incredible amount of evil running roughshod over our world and even in the Church. We often do spend a lot of time lamenting how bad things are. This is good and right since we would not do so if we didn’t believe that those doing these evil things were damaging others and themselves. Jesus does not tell us not to mourn. He does not tell us that it’s all just an illusion created by media sensationalism. Instead, he tells us that our “grief will become joy.” That is because the Spirit will give us hope—the supernatural virtue of patiently waiting and looking out for the righting of all wrongs

Acts 22:14-16 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth; for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

The Christian life is itself a painful labor. We must struggle to realize the great things that have been revealed to us. We must discipline our bodies and minds in order to prune away all the growth of disordered habits and thoughts that prevent us from keeping our eyes on the prize–eternal life lived in the midst of the great dance of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 We must rely on the Holy Spirit’s gift of hope!

This is such a challenge for me now. I have such tremendous gifts given to me, and seemingly have not done as I should have with them. It feels like I’m being punished now, but know it’s really a great learning and a transition again. I’ve seen these transitions many times, like the calm before the storm. What’s most remarkable to me is how much I’ve seen and experienced that brings me to a fuller understanding of the power and truth in Jesus Christ. I’ve tried to read and learn and grow, but so much makes my head spin.

I know it's that I MUST practice what I preach. "Fear doesn't come from GOD," we choose to fear, we can Trust God and step beyond fear. We can choose to step beyond fear and choose to avoid anger, or avoid alcohol. This morning the PrayerLine request again was about leaving the past of fear. Letting go of these lies, of anger to allow us to live and move on. We can Live New, ONLY when we leave the old. Let go of the fear and anger to Trust God, who brings in Love to fill the void we can only make in this choice. Wow, I posted this to my family chat: https://florida.thejoyfm.com/programs/schedule/ as this included these Bible verses.

Whether you are selling, leading or impacting, the key is correct evidence-based interpretation of who you really are and amplifying your true voice as your superpower.

It is my privilege and honor to do this work and I am grateful to be back online actively to advocate it and bring more awareness to it.

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

What are you reading now?

It's another piece selected by the Saint Raphael's Catholic Church Men's Fraternity to follow-up after the Exodus 90 readings we did. Now it's about consecration to Mary! 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC  . . . yes, shared now for you too: https://go.shr.lc/43A9B4X 

 What has this brought for you?

It feels so strong and familiar! It's like connecting with my Mom, Joyce, Joni, and Dawn as well now.  I remember the night when Joni passed, falling at the steps below her pictures and hearing her ask, “have we made it?” I knew she was asking if we beat the snake, and wanted to know whether we could carry it forward. Of Course, at this time Dawn and Carlie were still helping with Sharon and other women. I told Joni how many women were engaged and she was at ease knowing we could carry it forward.

Yes, the spiritual reading and prayerful pondering brought stronger resonance to the Divine Feminine that I seem to know so well.  I was reminded that Jesus relies on others to spread his Gospel and that he commissioned his disciples to preach it to all (see Matthew 28:19-20). And then he assigned his Mother to support and direct this saying: “Woman, behold, your son” and to John, “Behold, your mother” (John 19:26-27). At that moment, Jesus gave us one of his greatest gifts: his Mother as our mother. Of course, Mary isn’t our natural mother. She’s our spiritual mother . . .

Yes, what this is about is the Marian Consecration, or giving Mary your full permission to complete her motherly task in you, which is to bring you into the full realization of Christ.

I get it! and I guess it's why I'm getting this vibration so strong now. . . where everything in my life is RESONATING Mother Mary so deeply. Like even seeing and moving a private personal shrine to her, shown here loaded in my truck.  Yes, after leaving the Men’s Fraternity at Saint Raphael’s, Judy called to ask for my help. She wanted me to move her “critical Valuables” to her new place. 

When I got to her house, she pointed out a chair, a table or two and her statue of Mother Mary.  She was focused on this statue, already having it standing in a box. No cloths, no dishes. The statue, a table to set it on, and the chair in front of it. Nothing else matters. 

What a good idea for you to strive to deepen your “yes” to Mary. For the deeper your “yes” becomes, the more marvelously she can perform her works of grace in your souls 

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ!

Today's reading reflections from Exodus 90: "God has more in mind for all of us; we must be willing to embrace the fullness of his plan for us. This entails continuing to learn, growing in prayer, sacrificing to put God first, and entering more fully into the mission he has given us. We are taking important steps, but we need to continue to embrace the fullness of our faith. Putting this into action is the missing component for so many people.

We certainly will face challenges. Look at the sons of the Jewish priest who confronted demons in the name of Jesus and Paul. We can avoid this kind of disaster by staying within the authority of the Church. Paul had been given authority, just like our bishops and priests. When they exorcise and forgive sins, they do so with the authority that Jesus bestowed on the apostles. Just like Apollos, we need the guidance and direction of the community to support us in the battle. We also need to get rid of the things in our lives that give the devil an open door. Just as the converts burned their books on magic, we must cut any harmful media and practices.

Pray about what needs to go in the fire and turn to your fraternity for support in making this sacrifice."

I have been recognizing the challenges more and more, both for me, and those around me. Like recently a Judy had a serious accident in her family, and asked for a Prayer Warrior. Immediately Debbie, who was sitting with us in the empty room, reached and grabbed our hands. She created a circle of three and said a prayer for the hurt girl and her family.

As she finished I told them about the prayerline and looked it up online with my iPhone. Signed in and set up a prayer request there. I asked the two ladies to take off their shoes and get centered with me. Again holding hands, I read the prayer for David and Coral in Texas. Again a very clear and powerful Prayer.  Debbie immediately commented about how powerful it was. The vibration was very clear and focused as we stood on the earth together, feeling how the doctors and family there were all touching the Earth as well.

What about the conversations leading to this.

When Judy first got this phone call I could see her in tears and hugged her! Soon we were talking about life and she asked me why people have 

I know it's so much more than this !

What you need to be writing is about this power that you can shift into. People always pull you out of this, while if you allow your own flow. you truly step into another space. You are able, and always able to trust and connect with us. Your Freedom in Understanding this. What did John & Dan Teach you?

It IS YOUR WORD !

We have done so much to force you to write more. And still you fall, and avoid how easy it is. You hold onto traditions as we all will. Creating new habits is priceless and NO ONE can do it all in the Ease of Your POWER. It' very easy to build and create something of power and focus that none can understand or challenge. again here you allow Our Flow, bringing into you such new strong visions. Getting back to your routines and habits create another level of power and focus. Everyone is waiting for you to take control of these things. nothing is beyond you now. it's the Glory Forever

Ascetics and making it real

When I started Lent I get myself into a very specific refined schedule. Prayerline, coffee, organic fruits, seeds and yogurt. It included three churches, sometimes four, bibles studies, podcasts, and bikerides to do the yoga sun rituals…and then I started to do the organic foods too, and lost touch with my mangroves and gardens …

It really all started with such clarity and power knowing each day was filled with clear purpose and actions? Mostly gardens and plantings. . . Like here in this video I bike out to visit some beginning at one of the bike rental places anyone can park next to and startup their own missionary work here in Saint Petersburg.

 

I knew i had to get myself into a very specific refined schedule. Prayerline, coffee, organic fruits, seeds and yogurt was very powerful as I recognized this diet would cure most all sickness created by the greed matrix. It’s been a challenge about accepting my responsibility to bring this forward, as I now discover more of my space has people in it. And it kinda freaks me out. Like how can this be happening to me. Sweetest, kindest, most helpful and courteous gentleman possible and still wicked bizarre shit happens that pushes me to the limits or stress and anxiety.

It happened with Nicky too?!?!?

Reflect on the difference in your prayer, making sure you are rooted in what really matters.

Week 4 Action Items

1. Meditate on the Resurrection.
2. Get outside.
3. Continue to focus on Confession.

6:07:13 and the rain starts… Christ will answer our prayers in his name, but if he does not answer in exactly the same way we think does not mean that we have failed. Christ himself prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that, if possible, the cup of suffering that was his lot would pass from him. Was his prayer, the prayer of the Son himself, faulty? We can only think so if we ignore how he prayed, asking for what he wanted but adding, “nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done” (Luke 22:42).

That “whatever” must be understood in the sense that all of our prayers must be like his. They are all prayers, ultimately, that the Father’s will, which is perfect, would be done. We have to understand that Jesus understands what will fulfill our deepest desires, and his answers to our prayers aim to bring us to our ultimate flourishing.

In your prayer today, bring to the Lord some subject, past or present, in which you have had difficulty seeing that your prayers have been answered. Pray for the ability to trust the Lord’s plan for you in this and the ability to see how he has been answering you already.


Yes more from my studies in Exodus 90 … and I Flashed to John writing the books for me too. Like a random vision or leaving my home and I started to cry.

I started to cry again now
