ARE YOU FINDING IT HARDER TO PRAY? INTRODUCING GOD'S BEST KEPT SECRET!

Dear friends in Christ, are you finding it harder to pray now more than ever?! We certainly experience it at times. Prayerfully consider reading this long reflection received in prayer. There seems to be a blindness, darkness, distracting spirit, and a paralyzation over God's people that is unprecedented. There is a lethargic and complacent spirit that is seeking strategically to worm it's venom into the minds and hearts of mankind. May we all have the grace to rebuke these evil spirits and send them to the foot of the nearest Tabernacle for Jesus to deal with or send them to the foot of His cross never to return. We are all called to such great heights of holiness. We are all deeply loved by Christ our Lord Who paid a heavy price for our salvation. Let us remember these spiritual truths.
The evil spirits that are lurking everywhere, seek to beat us down and to take away our trust, hope and love of God. They seek to take away our God given identity as sons and daughters of God. They do everything they can to twist and distort the beauty of His creation. They are invisible to our human eyes, but they are very REAL enemies. They pervert the minds of men, women and children every chance they get and will take possession of them if allowed.
May we call upon God's best kept secret, the Blessed Mother, who will crush the head of the serpent. She is such a gentle Mother, but She's also "Virgin most powerful!" If whoever is reading this has not yet Consecrated themselves to Her Immaculate Heart, please do so now. There is no time to waste. The evil one flees from Her. She is his worst enemy. If you don't know what Consecration to Her means, we will send you a link below about it. Mary will place Her mantle of protection around us and lead us in this battle we are in. She is more powerful than any Army General could ever be! With every fiber of Her being, She wants to defend and protect all of Her children from the enemy. But we have free will, and She and Her Son will never infringe upon it. We are free to ask for Their help or to not ask for it. If we Consecrate ourselves to Her Immaculate Heart, it is like riding the waves of Grace rather than being tumbled underneath them.
We are all under a spiritual attack and many are being blindsided. We don't have to be, if we have our General (the Virgin Mother and Queen) by our side! Many do not seem to realize or maybe even care that they, we, are under attack. A good General will never just ignore the enemy and just hope they go away. A good General will also study the strengths and weaknesses of their Army and strategically place them where they will do best and hope they all act as one body in defeating the enemy, each doing their part.
Let us beg Jesus and Mary to wake up the sleeping Giant in all of us who may truly desire holiness of life and true authentic Christian love for one another. Let us pray for one another and for ourselves to NOT LOSE OUR FAITH. The evil one desires us to be alone in this battle, or he would like us to flee and be deserters. We are already defeated and at our weakest if we end up alone in the battle. We cannot be in this alone! This is exactly what the devil wants. He wants to divide us in every way he can and PRIDE WAS AND IS HIS BIGGEST DOWNFALL AND IT COULD BE OURS AS WELL.
Humilty is key! We would do well to realize that we do not have all the answers, and come to realize that our great God does have ALL the answers and HE ALSO HAS A GREAT PLAN.
Let us remember that the devil is a liar! He wants us to believe what he wants us to believe and he is a master deceiver. Let us discern everything and not be quick to believe everything we see and hear. ESPECIALLY WITH THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE NOW. We don't need to fall into his traps of lies and deception, and we don't need to act like we have it all together and like we know it all.
The evil one knows that if we rally together in great numbers, he is then defeated. He hates UNITY! He hates our trust in God. He hates our love for God and for one another. He hates peace of mind and soul. He hates goodness and kindness. He hates gentleness. He hates purity of mind, heart and body. He hates faith in God. He hates God, you and me.
May God grant us the Grace and the common sense to recognize evil for what and who it is and may we use the tools and weapons to defeat that enemy, which are: EUCHARISTIC AMAZEMENT AND ADORATION, meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, love of God with whole mind, heart, soul and strength and our neighbor as ourselves, humility, purity of mind, heart and body, steadfastness in faith, perseverance in trial, admission of our sins and failures, deep prayer, and reception of the Sacraments, (especially Reconciliation/confession and reception of Holy Communion) and the frequent use of blessed sacramentals.
From the letter to the Colossians
4:2-6
The conclusion of the letter
"Pray perseveringly, be attentive to prayer, and pray in a spirit of thanksgiving. Pray for us, too, that God may provide us with an opening to proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am a prisoner. Pray that I may speak it clearly, as I must.
Be prudent in dealing with outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your speech be always gracious and in good taste, and strive to respond properly to all who address you."
