Prophecy Ridgetown May 3, 1998

Calling God's Children to a New Birth

This is a call to work with local bishops and priests, not because we like them, and hover on every word that comes from their lips, but because God has placed them into the role of our shepherds, and God does not make mistakes.

MY CHILDREN, I AM CALLING YOU;

WORK IN UNITY WITH YOUR BISHOPS AND YOUR PRIESTS.

MAKE JESUS THE CENTRE OF YOUR LIVES

AND THE EUCHARIST A MORE JOYFUL FEAST.

YOU MUST DRAW CLOSER UNTO ME

THROUGH SILENCE, PRAYER AND MEDITATION.

PRAISE ME, THANK ME, LIFT UP MY SON;

YOU ARE THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW CREATION.

WHEN LOVE AND POWER, PRESENT IN THE EUCHARIST,

WILL GIVE YOU A DEEP, FULFILLING INNER FEELING,

YOU WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE PEACE AND JOY,

PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALING.

THE WORLD IS CONFUSED BY MY SIGNS AND WONDERS;

KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST A PREVIEW.

DO NOT DESPISE THIS WORD, THIS MESSAGE;

MUCH GREATER THINGS ARE IN STORE FOR YOU.

I AM CALLING YOU TO PRAYER, FASTING AND REPENTANCE.

YOU WILL SEE A CONVERSION AS NEVER BEFORE.

IMITATE THE LOVE AND COMPASSION OF MY SON,

AND I WILL BEGIN TO USE YOU MORE AND MORE.

LET ME LIVE IN YOU, WORK THROUGH YOU;

I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU MUCH LONGER.

I MUST RELEASE MY GIFTS WITHIN YOU

TO MAKE MY BODY, THE CHURCH, MUCH STRONGER.

AGAIN AND AGAIN I HAVE CALLED ON YOU;

LEAD MY LOST ONES BACK TO ME.

LET JESUS IN YOU BECOME SO REAL

THAT THE DEAF MAY HEAR AND THE BLIND WILL SEE.

I HAVE NO HANDS, NO FEET, NO LIPS BUT YOURS.

MY DEAREST CHILDREN, CAN YOU RESIST?

HEALING AND MIRACLES WILL BEGIN TO HAPPEN

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE EUCHARIST.

YOU ARE STANDING BEFORE NA ERA;

A MIGHTY WIND WILL SWEEP THE EARTH.

I WILL TRANSFORM AND HEAL THE HEARTS OF MANY;

I WILL GIVE THEM A NEW BIRTH.

Prophecy May 27, 1998 Wallaceburg, Ontario

Prophecy from God the Father on Opening Celebration of Marian Days

I have showered you with My Gifts, My Spirit.

Cling to Me and do not fear.

At times I may seem far away,

But know that I am with you here.

Near peaceful waters I will lead you.

I watch My Flock; I watch and see.

A world that is busy with so many things

And has so little time for Me.

Even you own are slowly weakening;

Lack of support is what they face.

But know when you are most alone

I will embrace you with my gentle embrace.

I am calling you to evangelize:

To many this is something new.

Be compassionate and understanding with my lost ones

Just as I have been with you.

Can you refuse, withhold from me?

Walk in my footsteps, and obey My Word.

Many are ready, willing, and waiting

To receive My Spirit and this new birth.

And I, Your God, will work my wonders

To those who are nothing on their own.

Christ, My Son, is gathering His People,

And His Signs are clearly shown.

Go forth, My Dear Ones, in My Love and Compassion,

And fix you eyes completely on Me.

I will reawaken My Gifts within you,

But you must give yourselves unconditionally.

Your brothers are wandering aimlessly

While Satan is trying to deceive,

To destroy their souls, their hearts, their minds,

Even their faith and their belief.

Call forth, My Dear Ones, in My Love;

Hold on, My Dear Ones, hold on to Me.

I am urging you to go to Mary:

She is calling you to fast, pray and say the Rosary.

I am not a God of conflict or confusion;

But why, My Dear Ones, do you remain so distant?

I am at work in and around you;

Step out in faith and be more persistent.

Have courage, confidence in these painful hours,

As you, My Dear Ones painfully wait.

Stay awake, keep watch for that burning fire

Starting to move in Ninety Eight.

My apologies for the last few months not getting more of these prophecies up for readers.  It has been a busy and challenging time, but these words, the first I have reviewed in a while are a powerful message, even though over 12 years ago.

Our Father's concern for all of His Children is apparent, and this is a good reminder to us to bring them the Good News.  St. Francis encouraged believers to preach the Good News, and if necessary to use words.  Our lives of faith are the best witness to the Gospel on earth.

Prophecy Ridgetown May 2, 1999

Jesus Weeps

In this prophecy before the 2000 Jubilee, the Lord calls us urgently, knowing that we move very SSSLLLOOOWWLLYY.  Yet, He is patient to forgive our sinfulness, and never takes His love away from us.

Let us wake up.

My children, I look upon this dark lost world.

My heart is sad.  My Son is weeping.

My little lambs are suffering from a lack of love.

Because many sheep are blinded and still sleeping.

Oh how I love to bring peace and justice.

When will my people come to realize

That they need a personal relationship with Jesus

And be more willing to suffer and to sacrifice?

Give me your old life, your frustration

And I will fill you with joy, love and peace.

I will give you a new spirit and new heart.

My gifts and power I will release.

I desire to delight my people throughout the earth

And I will demonstrate my love and my power.

I will wipe out the marks of the evil one.

Satan is keeping you in bondage up until this very hour.

Time is running out my dear ones.

Don't look for excuses any more.

Reach out to the lost, the poor, the broken hearted

And I will bless you more and more.

I will wrap you in a jealous love

If you are obedient to this call.

I will make others look great

But my dear ones I will keep small.

My children imitate Jesus.

Through a life of suffering and deep humility.

Be available, dedicated and spirit filled

Go and lead the lost to me.

Make your commitment and bind together.

It was I your God who called you here.

I am calling you to fasting, prayer, and reconciliation.

The year 2000 is drawing near.

I have given signs and warnings.

Look around you - earthquakes, famines and disasters.

Wake up dear ones from your sleep

And hear the call of your Lord and Master.

Prophecy to Father Sam Nov 8 1999 - Wyoming Ontario

This Prophecy was Personal for Father Sam, but Applies to us All

God is very patient with us, as this prophecy for Father Sam indicates, in that it is now over 10 years old.  But, with the eyes of faith we can see that it has been coming true all of this time, and continues.

God is raising up leaders in the Church for these times, like our Beloved Pontiff.  As it was the time of Pope John Paul II when this prophecy was given, it is now the papal reign of Pope Benedict XVI, the man God has chosen to be our earthly father.

And in the midst of all this, Father Sam continues to bring the Good News with enthusiasm to all those he encounters.  Though he has been retired for 5 years now, he is still a ball of fire.

He goes wherever the Lord leads him, and with no direct parish responsibilities, he is more free to move about.  This past week, he was in Ottawa for the March for Life, and in Dearborn Michigan for a charismatic conference.  After that, he managed to be in Ridgetown for the prayer meeting last Monday.

FEEL MY SPIRIT RESTING UPON YOU.

YOU ARE ENTERING THE MOST DIFFICULT BUT EXCITING DAYS.

SLOWLY I WILL BREAK AWAY YOUR BARRIERS,

AND GREAT CHANGES WILL BE TAKING PLACE.

BY MY GRACE YOU ARE CALLED AND CHOSEN

TO LEAD MY LOST SHEEP BACK TO ME.

THERE IS A NEW RADIANCE BEOFRE YOU ARISING:

PREPARE, GET READY FOR THE GREAT JUBILEE.

MY CHOSEN ONE, SHEPHERD YOUR FLOCK;

PEACE AND JUSTICE IS TO BE RESTORED.

THE WORLD WILL SOON SEE A STRONG AWAKENING

AND MANY WILL RETURN TO ME, THEIR LORD.

YOU WILL GROW IN WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND DISCERNMENT.

MY CHILD, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE.

I WILL STRIP YOU COMPLETELY FROM SELF

THAT OTHERS MAY FIND LIFE AND LIVE.

MY SPIRIT WILL OVERFLOW FROM YOU

IN WAYS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPRESS.

YOUR LOVE AND COMPASSION HAS CHANGED THE LIVES OF MANY

AND YOU. MY CHILD, I WILL TRULY BLESS.

I WILL RIASE UP LEADERS AND MAKE OPPORTUNITIES.

I WILL PROCLAIM MY WORD AND TRUTH.

BELIEVE, HAVE FAITH, AND REST IN ME.

BY SO MANY I AM STILL NOT UNDERSTOOD.

I WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD AND GUARD YOU

AS I HAVE DONE IN YEARS BEFORE.

YOUR SHEEP ARE LOST, YOUR LAMBS ARE CONFUSED.

THEY NEED YOUR GUIDANCE MORE AND MORE.

I KNOW THAT YOU ARE OVERBURDENED.

SLOW DOWN, AND DO NOT GIVE UP.

MY HOLT SPIRIT WILL SUSTAIN YOU:

IT IS NOT YOUR TIME FOR YOU TO STOP.

I HAVE GIVEN SINGS AND WARNINGS,

BUT SO MANY ARE CUASING ME DELAY.

ALLOW MY SPIRIT TO FLOW FREELY,

AND I WILL MOVE IN A MORE DYNAMIC WAY.

NOTHING MYUST INTERRUPT THE FLOW OF MY BLESSINGS

WHICH I AM ABOUT TO BESTOW UPON MY CHURCH.

MAKE USE OD THE GIFTS THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU

AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE WORDS.

Prophecy May 7, 2000 St. Michael's Ridgetown

Message from the Year of Jubilee

God's messages to us carry urgency, but God's urgency is tempered by our disobedience, and so He is patient to allow us time to assimilate what he says and put it into practice.

As He says here, 10 years ago, we are to take Him seriously.  The signs are there for us to see, of a world groaning in anticipation of new birth.

My children, message after message I have given to you.

My signs are showing everywhere.

It is time that you take me more seriously.

Be reconciled, and turn to fasting and prayer.

So many have closed their hearts, their ears,

And there are thousands of souls to win.

Yet even in your very own churches

Evil forces are creeping in.

I look upon your towns, your cities.

I am filled with sorrow and I weep.

Why do they kill those whom I have created?

I love my little lambs, but I mourn my sheep.

Again and again I call to repentance,

But the world is lost in darkness and sin.

My dearest children, I have chosen you;

Show your love for Jesus, and lead others to Him.

I desire to lead you to fullness

Even here now in this very place.

I am present to comfort and console you;

I know the difficulties that you face.

Put your hands in mine and let me lead you.

My first command is that you love one another.

I will give you strength through my Holy Spirit.

Go and heal the wounds of your searching brother.

I will restore my bride, the Church.

Your gifts, not earned, I will release.

I will give you power to touch, to heal.

I will bring justice; I will bring peace.

Feel the urgency of this message;

This is the year of jubilee.

I will give you joy, glory, and the victory.

Give yourselves unconditionally.

Meeting For Prayer at St. Michael's Ridgetown

Not Your Usual Prayer Meeting

Monday night was prayer meeting night at St. Michael's Parish in Ridgetown. To call it a prayer meeting might conjure up the usual gathering of charismatics, but would yield the wrong image.

It was more of a gathering for prayer.  Wayne Zimmer and I drove down from London for it, and arrived shortly after 7 pm. It was planned to have the prayer meeting happen after a period of Adoration, with the Blessed Sacrament remaining exposed for the duration.

But, two things happened that changed what was in the plan to what occurred. First, Father Sam did not arrive until near the end, and having Jesus physically present changed the perspective.

One of the slams against the Charismatic Renewal in the Church has been about its seeming exclusivity.  There was a prophecy about 20 years ago at a conference of Charismatics in Toronto that said that the renewal had to die back into the Church.  It did not say that we were to ignore the Holy Spirit, but were to be like yeast added to the dough, allowing the bread to rise.

So, for about 45 minutes we sat in quiet Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  About 18 of the faithful sat quietly in awe and reverence of He who died to save us, and was resurrected so we could see that He had won the victory over sin and death.

Then, Wayne got up and spoke for several minutes about the reading of the Gospel from the Feast of the Ascension.  What he spoke was strange to our ears, and to his.  He told us that Jesus has ascended, and we must let go of Him, not hang on to Jesus here on the earth.  He reminded us that Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to take His place among us, every moment of every day.  We have the sacraments that He instituted, particularly the Eucharist, and we need them in our lives.  But, though we must keep Him close in our heart, we must let go of Him in the flesh.

There was some sharing of what the Lord has been doing in people's lives lately, and one woman shared a vision she saw unfolding of Jesus weaving a tapestry with many coloured threads of different lengths, with gold woven through them.  In the vision she saw Jesus weaving the tapestry with the cross as the needle for each thread to be woven in.  It's a pretty cool image, I think and appropriate for the Body of Christ.

After some time of musical Praise and Worship, Father Sam arrived and spoke for a bit, then went up to the altar, and bringing the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament down from the altar approached each of us so we could gaze on Christ in the Eucharist closely.

The meeting quietly came to an end.

It was not like prayer meetings I have attended elsewhere, yet it was delightful in its simplicity and beauty.  I'm certainly going back.

A Personal Prophecy for Deacon George Sebok

Yet, It is a Word for Us All

Deacon George Sebok has been a prayer partner of mine for many years.  I am not sure whether he personally knows Father Sam or not, but they serve the same God, and are both members of our diocesan clergy.

I have watched my friend George grow in faith for almost 25 years now, and the transformation in him through a life of prayer, and also through diaconal formation which led to his ordination a couple of years ago into the gentle spirit that he is, has been profound.  He has often heard the voice of God in prophecy and I came across this particular one when he loaned  me a book recently, in which he had made notes and had written the words that the Lord spoke to him one particular day.

George is not the best of students in the traditional sense.  I remember him not really enjoying all the reading involved in the formation programme, but I also knew that he was faithful to do his reading.  He made notes in this particular book about his being a procastinator, and his efforts to learn to be more orderly in his work, to be better at organization.  He was kind of beating himself up in journalling on this page of the book, when the Lord spoke to him and gave him the following words:

"My Son, I  am not disappointed in you, because you have at your fingertips everything you need to reach Me.  My Son's gift of forgiveness is an example of all the gifts of the Spirit in you.  Just use them and you will be guided day by day, moment by moment, to achieve my guided plan each day.  I do not disregard schedules, commitments, goals and plans.  Just fit me into them and you'll be guided towards living out My plan each day."

Like my friend, we can be tempted by the devil to think that we are not good enough for a task the Lord has set before us, like entering into diaconal formation at nearly 60 years of age.  So, this word from the Lord is a reminder to all of us that repentance of our sinful thoughts, words and deeds, as well as failures to act when called on, and above all His forgiveness of these faults is a grace filled gift from God for us.

And to add to it, we all have been granted the gifts of God's Holy Spirit to guide us daily to and on the path that He has for us, which will take us to the foot of the cross on which hung Our Saviour for US.

The kingdom of heaven is at hand, or at our fingertips as the prophecy says.  We can reach out and touch our God any time we choose, or every moment of our days.
