Pope Francis - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing???


Someone brought the following article to my attention:
http://yournewswire.com/pope-francis-jesus-dangerous/amp/

It is about Pope Francis who is reported as saying ‘Relationships With Jesus Are Dangerous And (very) Harmful’.

This man told a crowd of 33,000 Catholics in Rome (June 25, 2017) that “a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ” must be avoided at all costs, raising fears he is an illegitimate pope with a sinister agenda. Pope Francis is "determined to steer his flock away from Jesus."

(Um....WHOSE FLOCK?!?!)

IF this man really said this it is horrifying - as unfortunately so many believe HE is representing heaven.

What is his suggested alternative - rituals, religiosity, drab non relationship with....no One?
What would be the point of NOT believing and KNOWING The One who loves us, died for us, planned our path from before the foundation of the earth, and seriously communicates HIS wishes for our every moment quite loud and clear?!

The pope's statement makes a lie out of The Word as there are HOW MANY SCRIPTURES proclaiming that He speaks and we HEAR? Beyond the TRUTH that we HEAR HIM - exactly how much would we listen WITHOUT a personal relationship. Do YOU truly listen to/live by the words of strangers?

Seriously disappointing article - but then I thank God because He has always said ALL things hidden SHALL BE REVEALED. While man-made religious sects/denominations are a stench in God's nostrils (becoming ways to separate The Body instead of uniting) - does it not prove His love and care for his beloved ones to expose the wolves in sheep's clothing?

Now THAT is merely ONE reason to HAVE a personal relationship with Jesus - for He ALWAYS reveals the TRUTH.

God bless.

YET ANOTHER MIRACLE IN THE POOL


On Monday June 12th the Lord sent me to the pool for physical therapy (early in the morning, never ever been there at that hour). Met a lady called Gabby (her nickname as she, herself, said it describes her talkative nature perfectly). A fellow believer; she started telling me all about her life. She was especially sad about a fight she had had a long while ago with her granddaughter (young, determined to live with a boy she'd only know briefly). Gabby was so upset - the fight put a wedge between her and the girl; hadn't talked for a long time. The Lord told me to tell Gabby that He would quickly restore their relationship and that He was working in their lives. She smiled and felt hope for the first time in a very long time.
MIRACLE: Was at the pool again yesterday (Monday June 19th). Gabby came and had a huge smile on her face. She told me that GOD RESTORED her and her granddaughter with each other - within 48 hours of our last talk! The granddaughter came to her "out of the blue" - hugged her grandma, APOLOGIZED, asked for forgiveness, told her she loved her... Gabby was still in shock.
God is Good - always working on our behalf.
God keeps His word - He WILL do what He says He will do ALWAYS humbled to be used to share His messages to anyone He chooses. God bless. ~His messenger

MIRACLE UPDATE: it's such a treat to come back with even MORE reasons God is so awesome! Went back to the pool for therapy today (Thursday 06-22-17 at 8:32 a.m.) - Gabby came back. Found out: She was NEVER there (at the pool) before (and on those days at those times) and THIS (today) was her last day - she was only there so that her grandson could take 8 swim lessons. If i hadn't been there AT THESE EXACT TIMES on THESE EXACT DAYS our paths would NEVER have crossed.
TODAY: She came to me and said, "I just had to come and say thank you - after talking to you i'm more focused - i had to get hold of my thinking and what i was upset about and let God redirect my thoughts. (in this case, she was mad at her granddaughter for living with a guy when not married - which caused the original split). NOW - she continued, "instead of focusing on that ONE THING that was wrong, i can now focus on the 100's of things about her that are wonderful."
She also had another issue last time - too long to tell the entire story - but she was sad about a situation with her husband. The Lord gave me a way for them to compromise - she shared it with him (last week) and today she was able to share that IT IS GOING TO WORK OUT!
So - as always:
God is perfect in His timing God is perfect in all of His ways. He WILL find you if you need finding to give you His words of assurance, encouragement and love!
