  • Jesus is the Lord. Is He my Lord?
    Saint Peter tells us to be prepared to give a reason for our hope. We need to be ready to give an explanation for the truth that Jesus is the source of hope. We also need to be ready to give a reason for our personal hope in Jesus.

    So beautiful words of hope, and explanation of today's words, that is what many of us need , thank you Father Mike for being the messenger of God

  • @christiandpaul2022
    @christiandpaul2022 Před rokem

    The Holy Spirit will not leave once He is invited. He will also not come in unless He is invited. God does not abandon His. If you get crazy on Him He will punish you be sure of that. "His name taken in vane will not go unpunished" . I find that people who question the faith and even walk away from it eventually embrace it that it is a daily part of their life and the embrace is very strong. There are still internal arguments with God but the bond does not break.

    Thank you and bless you Father Mike. My Lord Jesus is absolutely my hope every day. I can't bear the thought of life without Him, and without Him I would be a sad miserable soul. And I am so glad that He found me where I was. I was not raised as a Christian, never went to church, and the Lord found me and convinced me I was important enough to pester Him on a daily basis. There were many years I just always prayed for others whose problems were much bigger than mine. But, as you know, everyone is so precious to Him, everyone, and thank you Father for reminding us He, the Lord, is the source of all hope.

      They with ears to hear, let them hear:
      Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
      Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
      Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
      These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
      There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
      They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
      Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
      "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
      Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
      8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
      9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
      Acts 2:38 KJV
      38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
      Luke 11:13 KJV
      13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
      John 14:21-24 KJV
      21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
      22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
      23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
      24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
      3 John 1:11 KJV
      11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
      1 John 3:6-10 KJV
      6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
      7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
      8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
      9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
      10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

    Listening to this homily and not only listening to the words but how Fr Mike says them, his enthusiasm in proclaiming them, how excited he gets in explaining the Gospel reminded me today of Monsieur Vince Kirsche from Lawrence, KS who died yesterday, on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, 2023. He had a similar enthusiasm and excitement in his homilies, for Jesus and his deep Catholic faith. And for years he was as Fr Mike is, a priest in a college campus Catholic Center.
    It is comforting to hear echoes of Monsieur Vince in Fr Mike. Monsieur Vince, please pray for Fr Mike and for all college campus priests and their students.

    I’m Catholic and proud to be, but I will say look at the billions of people who believe in other major religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, or Islam. Those are clearly not true, yet so many for hundreds/thousands of years have passed the beliefs down. Clearly humans are capable of believing false religions…This has somewhat made me struggle with the validity of some traditions within the Church…but God’s Grace is greater!

    Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
    Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
    Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
    These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
    There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
    They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
    Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
    "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
    Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
    8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

    21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
    22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
    23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
    24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*

    A true believer is baptized/indwelt and sealed with the Holy Spirit forever. The Holy Spirit gives eternal life to all true believers therefore a true believer cannot lose their salvation because it is a gift of GOD by His grace NOT through any process of works. A true believer belongs to GOD not to himself. Anyone can be baptized with water and NOT be a true believer. No one can be baptized by Christ with the Holy Spirit and NOT be a true believer. Why? Because the Holy Spirit gives a person spiritual life.
    My evidence from the Word of GOD is as follows:
    John 14:16 KJV "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you FOREVER;
    17 Even the Spirit of truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be IN YOU."
    Acts 11:15 KJV "And as I (Peter) began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
    16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how that He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you (true believers) shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost."
    Acts 10:45 KJV And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the GIFT of the Holy Ghost.
    Acts 15:8 And GOD, which knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us;
    9 And put no difference between us (Jews) and them (Gentiles), PURIFYING THEIR HEARTS BY FAITH.
    Ephesians 4:30 KJV "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of GOD, whereby you are SEALED unto the day of redemption (resurrected)."
    1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
    20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your body, and in your spirit, which are GODs."
    John 6:63 KJV It is the spirit that quickens (gives eternal life); the flesh (physical) profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit (spiritually discerned), and they are life."

    Objective Truth, I think, just works for people who believe in scripture but maybe not all of it. If you believe in scripture you have to believe that Jesus is God because it says it in there. It is then Objective. But if someone does not believe in scripture then Objective Truth doesn't exists for them. If they don't believe in scripture then 'Jesus is God' is also Subjective.

Relativism in our times is a Last Days spiritual demonic hold. But I want the Holy Spirit. We want the wondrous God of our Salvatin; to move mountains; that it will be in 1 Peter 4: like, -the prayer, -the alert, -the speech, -and the servant; all these things done as though; - God does; because the -Truth is... dot. dot. dot. Thank you, Fr Mike.
    In my conversion; speaking to people; who are not Catholic: I had talked to several people; who had changed their mind about vocation; the same problem exists for other denominational seminaries. Status quo is the popular sin of the Relativism; subjective - truth rules over objective - Truth. NOW we are at the point: where their subjective -truth says: we don't need police anymore; and they win; that it becomes the new norm; - where the world is upside down.
