Thursday, January 11, 2018:

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a contrast in faith between the two readings. In the first reading the Israelites were battling the Philistines, but their faith in Me was weak, that I could help them. The people did not pray or openly request My help in their battle. The Ark of the Covenant, that contained the Ten Commandment tablets, did not help them in battle either, because of their lack of faith. This is why they lost their battle that day. The second reading of the Gospel shows you a leper who had a difficult life living as an outcast from the society of the time. When he saw Me, he had a strong faith that I could heal his leprosy. He came forward in faith to ask Me to heal him. When I saw this faith in his heart, I so willed to heal his leprosy. There is a lesson in faith here for all of My people. You know that I can do the impossible, but in order to help people, they must obey My Commandments, and have faith that I can answer their requests. When your prayers are answered in My time, you need to remember another account of the ten lepers that were healed. Only one leper returned to give Me thanks. So giving prayers of thanks is another way of honoring your faith in My healing power. You need to thank Me and those people who help you as well. Trust in Me to answer your prayers in the best way possible for your soul and the souls of others.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen the pictures and movies on your TV news of all the damage, and the search for missing people in the mud slides in California. Pray for the people who lost loved ones and their homes from the mud slides on the hills of the burned brush and trees. This was a sudden rush of mud and debris that killed people in their sleep. Pray for their souls as well.”

Jesus said: “My people, your warmer temperatures are melting your snow, and your sump pump has been pumping out a lot of water. Soon you will see cold again with freezing rain, and some heavy snowfalls in some places. It is the extremes of hot and cold that is making it difficult for the drilling people to make your water well. It has been either too cold or too muddy for your people to work. Pray for better weather while you are home, so your well can be dug.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing more of your brick and mortar stores that are closing because of competing businesses and your internet purchases. All stores have online services, but some stores are closing because they are not getting enough customers to make a profit. With employee wages rising, there is more pressure to be able to keep stores open. Pray for your businesses to survive these trials.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing more people sick with the flu, and even people who had the flu shots. On your news you are seeing that the flu shots are only about 30% effective against the latest flu strains. Pray for the sick to find care and medications to help them. Another complaint is about the higher heating bills because of your cold harsh winter, which is about to resume after a few warm days. Some people who put straw around their houses, are seeing slightly lower bills. Pray for people to survive the cold, and that they can get help to pay these bills.”

Jesus said: “My people, your older monstrance needed cleaning and touching up, because now it sparkles with radiance, especially with My consecrated Host inside. I appreciate the efforts of your prayer group to come and adore Me in My Real Presence. I gave your small group a special blessing last week for braving the cold and snow. So this week I want to bless all of you for coming to adore Me, so none of you are left out from My blessings.”

Jesus said: “My people, during this harsh, cold winter, you could see some possible power outages. This is another reason to have some alternate heating sources if your natural gas heater stops working. You also should stock up on some extra food and batteries for your lanterns. Have your windup flashlights ready at night as well. When you did your practice refuge run, you could see how useful your cooking devices and lanterns were in feeding people and seeing at night. If you are snowed in, you could survive if you cannot make it to the stores. Pray for your people so they can make it through this winter. Pray for the homeless and poor people who have little money for food and heating.”

Jesus said: “My people, there are some of your friends who need help moving to another house, and some people who have difficulty getting out to the stores for food. When you see such needs, and you can help, you should reach out to help where you can. There is another need, and that is to work on stopping abortions through your prayers and protesting. I thank all of My faithful who are able to come to Washington, D.C. to protest the decision of your Supreme Court to make abortions legal. Despite this decision, abortion is still a mortal sin that kills a baby. This sin is bringing My wrath against your country. When you save babies from abortion with your sidewalk counseling at the abortion clinics, you are doing a great service to My little ones. Your mothers should be ashamed of wanting to kill their babies. Keep praying to stop abortion, and continue your protest against your sinful laws and decisions in court.”
