The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
We must cultivate the fear of the Lord in our lives. If we do not, then we will have only a partial vision of who God truly is. If we do not cultivate the fear of the Lord, then we will never have the proper relationship with God that we are made for.

My Sunday is never complete without listening to Fr Mike's homily. Problem is I'm never able to just listen without watching him, the passion with which he teaches, the facial expression makes the homily hit a nerve always

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.

​@@Call_Upon_YAH You are perfectly right in one thing and one thing only..... Jesus is THE only redeemer through the shedding of His blood and noone can come to the Father except through Him. HOWEVER There can be intercessors as there are here on earth. If I want something from my dad, I just ask my mom to ask him for me as she has his ear. Just like this, broken humanity cannot do it alone which is exactly why catholics ASK his Holy and Immaculate mother to interceed or vouch for them to bring them to God. Catholics DO NOT worship Mary or the saints ( hence no idolatry), they simply ask those that have already attained holiness to put in a good word and help them get closer to Jesus and hence closer to the Father. At the transfiguration Moses and Elijah were present and very much alive even though they'd died centruries before. If they are up there, why not ask for their help? That does not replace the true reverence and worship of God and He alone. All the words of the hail Mary prayer are biblical. Please stop digging your heels in and come to the one Holy and apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ himself God bless you

When I became aware of You and your message of "THE WORD" , I felt as though you spoke to fast, but after a time I could see how wound up you become with joy in doing GOD'S WORK. I am in awe everything with out fail. GOD has done HIMSELF PROUD.

When I go to receive the body and blood of the Holy Eucharist, I know I am receiving the body and blood of Jesus the SON Of The living God Yahweh. not Father Yahweh. Not scared, but very reverent

Heavenly Father, I was at Mass Light Shines from the Host. Then during another Mass I watched all on the altar disappear. Sometimes this happens when I have prayed when the room around shifts and light surrounds then darkness and red appears I have always just ignored this and kept praying…I seen this in the confessional as well. rHowever again I was at Mass and a circle of light appeared above the altar full of a place where we all wish all can go. At adoration sometimes I seen clouds appear.. sometimes I seen darkness sometimes darkness stream lined at me sometimes where when this darkness comes near me I feel ill I could not breathe until I lifted my hands in prayer so I just kept praying… I watched darkness enter in and leave from our Mass and our adoration Chapel and I can only think is all works for you our Heavenly Father… please bring Holy Priest to help assist little souls like me…. Amen! Heavenly Father Thank you for knowing what is good for us… Amen! I seen the Holy light Shine forth from the Glorious Cross as I seen Him turn to fire! Come Holy Spirit do not leave us in darkness make us for Yourself a ready guest, Living in us. Amen!

If the Holy Spirit stopped by for a quick visit I'm available for complete consumption 🥰

When my husband passed I went into a frenzy of fear for his salvation. He wasn't baptised or faithful. He was the kindness person you could meet but I feared the Lord would not know him . I found comfort in prayer. I am praying with all my might for his soul. Everytime I hear thunder I hope that is his soul going to Heaven. It's the most important thing to me. Jesus is merciful xx

God is not a relentless sovereign who condemns the guilty, but a loving father whom we must love not out of fear of punishment, but because of his goodness. The Lord is a God who is just, but always ready to reveal himself as merciful and compassionate.”

It was hard to have this reverence; of a quiet church; when it is a normal thing to be greeting everyone. Now it's the last day; people going on vacation; no choir for the summer vacation. I follow the speed of traffic; greeting God speed. I then went on the slow lane; and left the crowd; stood by the Tabernacle; and offered up the sacrifice of my heart back; standing in the gap. I did not feel anything; just my post of duty to stand for my people; and it was 15 minutes; I did not have time to pray for the individuals in my congregation; but it is still Sunday all day. Amen.

I had many conversations with my priest. Maybe the few who did. My priest said an encouragement for when I had a flare up of my family cult situation; and my nerves were shot. He said; don't fear the one who kills the body; but the one who can kill the soul. I guess this nuance means; that bad doctrine can kill the soul. The devil could not kill the soul; because: I became Catholic; the True Apostolic kind. I had escaped gehena. However, in this nuance; of Fr Mike. God has the keys to hell; because: he grabbed the keys from Satan when he died and descended into hell; and then rose from the grave. The purpose was to grab the keys of hell; the grave; and both signify death. Both nuances can encourage a down trodden heart. But the nuance of Fr. Mike; it is not really a conversation of a heart to heart; from suffering; and then you get a reassurance. This nuance falls in the line of: having the token; a coin; rather a eucharist token; used as a token of entering; through the door. The token of fear and reverence; - and as a token of God's love. If the Lion did not see the token displayed; like the blood on the lintel of your door; in the time of Egypt; when God set the Israelites free from their slavery: God wants to set us free from our slavery too; but we have to have the token. Thank you Lord, for your blood; that I may use: your love; and my love as a token; of reverence and fear. Without the token; I cannot be in the acceptance; when I come to the Jordan river; or the passing over; the death angel turns away; gehenah turns away; the token of the Blood of Jesus is displayed; death is warded off; and I may then - resurrect to heaven; to join with the other Saints; who passed through the last test; MAY I HAVE THIS TOKEN; TO PASS THE LAST TEST; AT JORDAN CROSSING. Mr. President do you have the token? Mr. Governor do you have the token? Christian denominations in all levels; do you have the token? All the earth: do you have the token? All you have to do is put the token on the door frame of your heart. Pleadingly, do you have the token?

People think that QC is up in flames; but its only a certain region; and its far. Spiritual ponderings: God's love is a consuming fire. Place this context in the eucharist understanding of the token. What is the spiritual chemistry of this fire? The three liquids of water, water, blood, and spiri = the eucharist. The only token. 1) Water as explained; to make this fire work. 2) Earthly Saints, to make this fire work 3) Sky of angels; and heavenly saints; to make this fire work 3) Fire; the saints in Purgatory; to make this fire work. Conclusion: without any of these components; the chemistry is not right; and the fire will not ignite. Fire kills; fire consumes; fire is to come before God in reverence. Teach me Lord. I am in situations. All of us are. I want the church to be quiet; but its not. I put this sacrifice on the alter. Amen.

I believe it is because we still see Jesus in has manly incarnate nature. Even though Jesus separates himself by saying “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (among other sayings separating himself from heavenly God). Also, I think it’s easier for people to accept just the love, light, and peaceful side of God. There is also the God of the Old Testament, it’s the same god…

I’m pretty sure that Jesus would say to you, Father Mike; You are not far from the Kingdom of Heaven. You know Jesus, deeply.

When I find myself taking God for granted I watch the video for Dies Irae with the English translation. It’s terrifying!

Even as I struggle to support my children and myself I trust in you Lord. I know life gets hard but God please continue to give me the strength to keep going because I want to give up. Jesus hear my prayers. Heavenly Father I know you don’t give us more than we can handle. But Father God I’m losing hope. Since losing my job for declining the vaccine I’m constantly faced with financial hardships. I declined the vaccine because I have heart disease and lupus. I’m now waitressing but not making nearly enough to support my two boys. With both my sons being special needs it’s so expensive raising them. Jesus hear my cries. I’m so ashamed. Struggling to support my children has been so difficult also because I am a single mother. Struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. It’s not easy but I’m keeping faith. Walking with faith not by sight! ❤ 0:09
