Andy & Gang, History "shows" us that matters can "Go South" very quickly! Think of the Poles in 1939 and the horror that transpired between August 31 and September 30 or the Brits, French, Danes, Belgians and Norwegians in the month of May of the next year ..... after seven months to prepare ... and what they called a Phony War. The Lord has warned us ... comes like a thief in the night ... ............... Luke 17 ............ The Coming of the Kingdom 20And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you. 22And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.23And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them: 24For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day. 25But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. 26And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.29And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. 31In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back. 32Remember Lot's wife.33Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it. 34I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft. 36They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? 37Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together. GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
ok, here is a dream I had about a month ago. I really never get significant dreams...actually I rarely remember my dreams at all. But this I do and would like to get other people's thoughts on it. I come home from picking up take-out dinner. A bit later there are gunshots fired at the house and I somehow know the whole house is surrounded by men in uniforms and they are shooting at the house. It is now pitch black in the house and outside for some reason and I can't see a thing. I am thinking why are these people shooting at us and the only thing I can think of that makes a little sense is they want this take-out dinner I just brought home (KFC, which we never really eat but 1 time a few months ago, so that was weird too.) I am crawling on my stomach to find my mom and I find her on her stomach and I lie on her to protect her and that is when this dream kind of ends. So, now I believe I am kind of awake thinking that was a weird dream and I swear I felt something get up from the other side of the bed as if it had been lying there. I actually opened my eyes and looked but nothing was there. Now it feels like some entity is flying about my room, rubbing against me and making a whoooshing noise. It then seemed like this entity was a dog because I swear it got right up to the back of my neck (I sleep on my side/stomach) and although I could not hear barking I know it was viciously barking at me and I could feel it's breath on the back of my neck in between barks. Somehow I knew it was on a leash and could not get to me any close than it was. I was not scared but I knew if it were not on a leash, it would have enclosed it's jaws around the back of my neck. Then I thought I was having some type of demon attack that I have read about here on the forum and I thought I should do what you guys do. So, I called out to Jesus and I completely woke myself up by calling the name of Jesus. So what do you guys think? That entity in my room felt so, so real. But I was not completely awake (although I was more awake than asleep), and my cat who was sleeping against me did not move an inch. Regardless I sprinkled holy water around my room.
Wow. I'd would've been pretty freaked out by that dream! It's sounds like you did the right thing though. You can't go wrong with Jesus' name and holy water! A few years ago I was awakened by the sense that there was something very tall and dark standing next to my bed. I opened my eyes and thankfully did not see anything. I did the sign of the cross and went back to sleep. Even if they are only dreams, those types of nighttime experiences feel sooo real and frightening. But maybe they are more than dreams... Do you wear a St. Benedict medal? I have worn one for years, but only recently discovered that they need the special exorcism blessing.
I would say it was diabolical.. Don't worry about it and take it as a compliment. Up the sacramentals, though.
I'd say the first part of your dream had to do with new experiences in your life (represented by the KFC) and the resulting attacks on your family on all sides. I think the second part was classic sleep paralysis. That does not rule out some demonic component, since the Evil One will use any possible tactic to influence and control us.
I started a new thread on this forum yesterday in answer to what I believe to be a diabolical attack on the MOG forum by a member, who Padraig says requires our prayer and I agree with Padraig. What has been stated by this person in their testimony of conversion and subsequent alledged locutions are very concerning and very disturbing. I retired to bed around 1030pm but woke up around 330am, praying [sometimes when I wake up I am in the middle of a prayer this has been happening over the past 5 years, don't know how or why, anyway I continued the prayer and just started to repeat the Holy name of Jesus], as I had woken up to the most putrid stench that I believe I have ever smelled, it was horrid! And its not what you might think, as the stench was not near as bad, under the bedcovers. Also my youngest daughters, 2 cats [that we inherited when she moved to college], were outside our bedroom meowing up a storm and making a tremendous fuss, scratching at the door with loud meowing cries, so loud in fact, that I actually thought they must be in our room trying to get out! also I thought one of them must have defacated in the room due to the horrendous stench but then realised it was way too stenchful for even that. I have never witnessed this behaviour of the cats before, and my daughter got them as kittens in 2009. I then thought that my husband must have closed the window in the extensions, the cats use this to get in and out of the house, so I woke him and asked, he was in a deep sleep and mumbled no. I tentively got up and found the cats outside my door, they both stopped their carry on when they saw me and I checked to make sure that the extention window was slightly opened for them and it was. I went back to bed and the stench was gone and I said a decade of the rosary before I tried to go back to sleep but I tossed and turned for about an hour. So I eventually got up around 500am and watched the beautiful dawn breaking. I think I was being spiritually attacked. I don't know. Maybe not. What do you guys think I'm in the process of sprinkling holy water throughout my house. God bless Carolyn
I feel a bad spirit is attacking this forum bring uneasiness and fractious atmosphere. I pray to Jesus to cover all involved here in his precious blood and I beg him to cast out all that is not of him. Jesus and Mary we love you save souls and protect MOG from all evil influences.
Yes, I do feel there was something diobolical going on. I don't wear St Benedict, but the mother of God and a cross is on my necklace. I now have a st benedict crucifix on my nightstand which was not there when I had this dream. I have moved this past year and actually forgot where I packed it. I found it after this dream. Between that and the holy water...should be good to go!
Josephite, I too had an uneasiness about what was posted and also had a strange dream last night. I was looking into Fabienne yesterday further than the research I had done on her in the past and came across a catholic site that was talking about succubuses and incubuses. I had never really heard what these terms actually meant but knew the terms. Long story short, I had this strange dream about a woman trying to get me to cheat on my wife with her. In the dream she called me while having dinner with my family at a restaurant and wanted to meet with me for an affair. I could see what she looked like in the dream while on the phone with her and she was also trying to tempt me and did not have a shirt on in the dream. I woke up after that but was troubled by the dream given the subject I had learned about earlier in the day. The strangest part of this was this morning, when I got into my catholic prayer facebook account that I run anonymously, there is the section on there where they recommend new friends to add and right there in the first person was this woman from the dream dressed very provocatively. She had no mutual friends at all and it is no coincidence for me that she would be there as the number one suggestion on a devout Catholic group with no mutual friends. Guard yourselves my friends. The attacks are getting more obvious. I wear my brown scapular and miraculous medal almost constantly, have every door in my house have a St. Benedict medal above it and in both cars and I also have been in the habit of sleeping with the Holy Bible open next to me on my night stand. I never fear these encounters which is good but they can still come and try to scare us. We have nothing to fear when these attacks occur because we belong to the Lord and He has already won! The only thing I fear is the Father and that is a holy fear we should all have, but don't ever let that fear diminish our love for Him. Deuteronomy 6:2 That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged. Proverbs 19: [23] The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil. Luke 1: [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
Has an issue with postings arisen before? Is there a case history here? Do the admins contact the person who is posting disturbing material to get an explanation?
After conversion it is important to stay on the rails otherwise as Jesus said: Luke 11:26 Return of an Unclean Spirit …25"And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26"Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."
The person concerned membership has been canceleled, she has been banned from the forum and her thread deleted. Short of a nuclear strike I can't think of anything else to do.
I had the most interesting dream last night. I foten know before it happens when I am going to be attacked in my sleep. There is a sense of brooding darkness , a sense of forebding, a looming presence ready to get torn in. The deeper this feeling the worse its going to be. But its better to get a warning than not, so I gave a good sprinle and felt the presence withdraw slightly before I went to bed. I dreamt I was in ancient Rome in a very long line of Christians queued up for execution by beheading. I looked back down the queque and saw a lady I knew and she seemed torecognise me as being there by the epxresion on her face. She really stood out in the line as her hair was snow white. I saw with sadness that the rest of her family were to die with her as I saw her children around her. I noticed in particular her two uncles , they aslo had long white hair and very bushy white mustaches. It was clear these people were non Romans, slaves. Perhaps Celts? The people in the line seemed curiously resigned and at peace to their fate and either talked among each other lowly or else were silent and looking inward. I saw that the line was so long it would take me hours to reach the place of execution and so became impatient and at that I was moved right to the near the front. Here the people were singing hymns of pslams and it was very touching. However the way they were singing was not as we sing hymns today. It was a kind of plain chant like talking and singing at the smae day. A form of chanting were the words were at least as important as the music. I git to the exection spot and to do these people were tied , standing facing low wooden hurdles. The hands and arms were fastened with chains to the wooned sleeper and the head placed down on the wood. The instrument of death was curious. It was a long wooden pole with a scimitar like blade right at the end. We used to use tools like this in the moantery to clear wood, I thin k they called them matlocks. I stood with my head leaning on the wood as the blade came down. Suddenly I was outside myself and saw the bade hit at the base of my neck. If had a curious effect of boht crushing and cutting at the same time. I died at once. I came to in my bed room in a semi speeping state, with the devil by my bed harm wishing. I felt my bodsy paralysed and I could neither waken nor move. Afte a while he went and I heard the words of Jesus in my heart, 'I have triumphed.. I triumph.. I will triumph again..'
I often like to check out vivid dreams like this to see if they have any historical truth to them, to see if they have, in fact any historicla reality. Welll the first little sing I got today was at mass when I learned that todays feast was that of St Kilian a Bishop from County Clare in Ireland who went as a missionary to Franconia (northern Bavaria in Germay ) were he converted the Duke and the entire population of Francocnia to Christianity. Like St John The baptist, St Kilian was beheaded for criticising the Duke for marrrying his brthers wife after the Dukes wife urgently pressed for this. If you notice from the statue of Kilian below he holds in his arms a peculiar matlock type weapon, the same one I saw in my dream last night.The fact that he died amongst the Germanic tribes in Germay would indicate why I saw some of them with white/ blond hair. St Kilian with Fortress Marianburg in background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Kilian 'Kilian told the Duke that he was in violation of sacred scripture by being married to his brother's widow, Geilana. When Geilana, whom Kilian had failed to convert to Christianity, heard of Kilian's words against her marriage, she was so angry that, in the absence of the duke, she had her soldiers sent to the main square of Würzburg, where Kilian and his colleagues were preaching, and had him beheaded, along with two of his companions, Colmán and Totnan.[1]'
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/three-priest-martyrs-of-nazis-beatified-in-germany/ '“I am so happy, I can hardly explain how happy. God is so good to have given me several beautiful years in which to be his priest. “Do not be sad! What is waiting for me is joy and good fortune, with which all the happiness and good fortune here on earth cannot compare.” Father Eduard Muller wrote to his bishop: “It gives me great pleasure to be able to write a few lines to you in this, my last hour. Whole-heartedly, I thank you first of all for the greatest gift which you gave me as a successor of the apostles, when you placed you hands on me and ordained me as God’s priest. “But now we must embark upon this – in human terms difficult- final walk, which is to lead us to Him, whom we served as priests.”'
"However the way they were singing was not as we sing hymns today. It was a kind of plain chant like talking and singing at the same ..." Maybe it was the orthodox liturgical recitative, so familiar to me that I immeaditely made this conclusion. Or the Byzantine style of singing. Interesting to know... Info: https://stanthonysmonastery.org/music/History.htm From this very interesting article: "A strong case can be made to support the belief that the background for the earliest Christian music is to be sought in the music of the Hellenistic Orient, and more specifically in the musical theory and practice of Hellenized Judaism of that day."
What a profound dream Padraig. The after part of the devil standing by you I find to me rather interesting too. I felt he was there trying to get some of your fear from the dream but seemed to be rather powerless at the same time over you. It is wonderful when a person gets to the point where the devil can't create in them fear. I love reading of the mystics when they encounter the devil and basically tell him to bugger off or go back to hell. Father John Riccardo always tells us when we feel the devil around, tell him to go to hell where he belongs. That is really the only appropriate time one can ever say, "go to hell".
