Unusual Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Hi has anybody come across people with unusual gifts of the Holy Spirit, by this I mean very accurate gifts other than the usual gifts such as word of knowledge, healing, deliverance etc?

I have recently met such a person who has a very fruitful ministry of healing, the gifts this person uses are indeed extremely accurate and life changing. I have witnessed healings of minds in the space of a few minutes in a once off visit. I don't wish to give any name here nor do I wish others to do so either.

God Bless

Has anybody any thoughts on this post?

 

No, I wish I knew people with unusual gifts of the Holy Spirit, but I don't. I'd love to know to whom you are referring, though.

 

Because this thread sound so much like a poll, perhaps someone should ask:
What is your question?

 

My question is, have other people noticed a deeper outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the various ministries out there in recent times? I've been involved in the healing ministry for over 20 yrs but have never come across the accuracy or power of the gifts this person has. I wonder is it a link to the signs of the times in which we are living?

 

I too am involved in a Church Healing Ministry/Apostolate for the last 2 1/2 years. My reversion(revert) back to the faith was through a mystic who would tell me things, my current thoughts , themes and personal details. This of course caused me to reconsider the faith, investigate the truths of the Church visa vi Protestantism and all the claims Protestants make with biblical arguments that they use against the Catholic Church. I decided to find what Protestants said about Catholicism through scripture and compare it against the defense Catholicism used with scripture. I found through internet searches alone that through the prism of 'Sola Scriptura' alone, that even then Catholicism was winning some 90+% of the arguments based on biblical verses, 2% or so could be fair minded ruled a tie, and the rest was just trusting in the Church. Afterall, my search revealed that Protestantism could not be trusted for truth. The truth of Catholicism encompassed the Bible more thoroughly, the Protestant version of truth was one eyed and limited in scope.

The mystic responsible for my conversion, stayed in my life(a request to God from me), and became a long term friend.
This mystic suffered the invisible stigmata, had many gifts for his mission of conversion, healing and family problems. He had been a very bad man(gangs) , but nearly died from TB in the hospital when God asked him to use him. Thats the story he relates. So he wasnt anywhere near a holy man before.

Roll forward some years, I had a habit of seeking the Lord through healing masses(Charismatic Healing Masses), would receive
words from God through these priests(messages that pertained to me),etc. One particular mass, the priest called me out, which is to say
he described me from the altar while standing at the podium and kept repeating that there were no coincidences. I couldnt figure out what all this meant, but the Priest had to leave
early after the mass. The ladies running the healing ministry were laying on of hands and praying for those lined up. BTW, the priest can rightfully within Church law delegate others to lay on of hands in this situation, cant' do it in some other situations though like the Sacrament of Unction/Last rites . Anyhow, one of the ladies was laying out just about everyone she was laying hands on at a rate I have never seen before. So I figured I was being called by the Fr. and God , to investigate this HealingMass Ministry/Prayer group.

Anyhow I show up to their weekly prayer meetings and before long I am getting messages of how the Lord is going to use me for a mission
within his Church. The one powerful lady is telling me these things through the Lord whilst laying on of hands and praying over me. This went on for many months, another 2nd lady joined our group and she was telling me the same things through the Lord. No one in the group were being told these kind of things.

In fact, the 2nd lady never had this gift before she had become a member of our Prayer group. One day while I was standing in my kitchen I found myself talking out loud to the Lord and telling him through my heart something that I was willing to do. The next prayer meeting the 1st powerful lady, had picked out St cards for everyone and was handing them out, she said the holy spirit had her pick them out, she said especially to me and no one else that the Holy Spirit had especially picked this card for me. It made sense, and related to what I was telling the Lord in my kitchen.

If any of you are familar with Mark Mallet, he was in front of the Blessed Sacrament when the Lord told him about his mission to be a St. John the Baptist type, the next day a powerful mystic is at the Church seeking to give him a St John the Baptist relic....a confirmation.

To this day, I am still getting direction,guidance and preparing through the Lord. One of my messages stated 'that some things will spring eternally and others would take many years'. So I am still waiting and preparing, no gifts, nothing special, still a sinner, but preparing as directed and waiting.

BTW, I am 55 year old male.

 

Hi RB2,
thanks for your heartening and encouraging reply. I say this because some years ago a person who prayed over me told me i would have a gift of healing for sickness in the mind and as yet I am still waiting... and ironically I have ended up working in an area where this gift is really needed! The Lord however has been healing me in all sorts of different areas so I'm taking this as a preparation for whatever He has in mind.

God Bless

I dont know the future. But I'd be willing to bet good money that many of us will be the only ones offering hope, healing, knowledge of God--especially to the non-believer.
All of us being a part of Mary's Army, a manifestation of the Lord to the many and only through Catholics.

One of the reasons I posted my story is because of the pattern of confirmation: Mark Mallet, me.
Reading Mark Mallets confirmation story after my experiences gave me additional confirmation...a pattern.
I wanted to make sure this was to be found by others who search/read on the internet.
Of course not everyone gets a confirmation: "Faith means to act without proof."

 

Another thing I have to share with you Border Collie.
In our Church there is a heavily schizophrenic lady, she's okay, but 'just okay' and sometimes better.... when she is on her medication.
She lives 1 block from the Church, attends daily mass(1,2 times a day), weekly confession, daily exposition of the Blessed Sacrament,attends our prayer group, and is involved in additional Church ministries. Occasionally she goes off her meds and in that state she is a different person in search of her husband and children, she has never had neither. She is 65-70 years old.

There are a couple of unbelievable things about her. In our prayer group 'at times' she is blessed with 'words of the Lord' for others.
All of us have lots of discernment in this area.
And recently , she has stated that she is off her meds for sometime. She presents herself normal and healthy. Perhaps a permanent healing through the Lord but time will tell. She has always been cyclic with her problems, but being off meds and feeling healthy and normal is big for her. Of course, I attribute her progress through the Lord and her devotion.

 

I wish I had known more people with gifts like the ones you know RB. I am endlessly fascinated by such stories.

 

I pray this lady will be totally healed RB2. Schizophrenia is a very lonely and terrifying disease.
Incidently the person I speak of in the opening of this thread has great success in healings of this nature. The unusual part is the person doesn't touch the person being prayed with at all, there is no laying on of hands.

 

Thanks BC

 

Recently someone I am close to told me that they had tried to help someone with a drug/alcohol addiction problem (amongst others) and their conversation ended up with the person getting angry and hanging up on them. Then that night two demons who were in the shape of wolves were sent by this troubled person to the person who tried to help. The person helping lay in bed all night long with the rosary in her hand praying and begging our Lady to intercede for her because the wolves were at the window in the form of demons who spoke non stop of the many ways they were going to kill her. At morning, they left and the woman was absolutely exhausted. A few days later our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to her in a dream and said that the those two demons would not be back, but to be very careful counseling people who have very ill intentions. She went on to say that soon, very very soon a larger more horrible demon was going to come. This demon was the demon of SILENCE. This demon was more horrible than she could imagine and that our Lady was there to warn her NOT to engage in conversation with this demon of SILENCE. Because by engaging in conversation this demon 'pulls you in'. Our Lady made it clear that this demon is something that humanity had never experienced before. This WAS THE DEMON OF FEAR.

I have been thinking of this and asking our Lord and Lady to enlighten me on this and what I have received is that this is indeed a world-wide fear. This is indeed a singular fear. The consecration to our Lady's Immaculate heart is imperative and SO important at this time, because our Lord and our Lady WANT TO SPEAK TO US AND GUIDE US. Its important NOT TO HAVE FEAR REACHING OUT TO OTHERS TO PLANT THE SEEDS THAT OUR LORD WILL CAUSE TO GROW IN THIS TIME OF GRACE AND MERCY !!

REMEMBER THIS THAT IS FROM A VERY WISE BISHOP: IN THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

We must remember that when we are embarrassed, ashamed, fearful, apprehensive, hesitant, shy, trying to make a decision etc. ASK YOURSELF THAT IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

TRY TO STAY IN A STATE OF PEACE. Keep saying , "God the Father, I love you. You created me. Let me be the child you created me to be and lead me down the right path and help me guide my loved ones and those who you put in my path to help."

 

Hi MS7,
Is the demon of silence different to the demon of fear?

 

no. it seems to be one and the same. Think of how it is right now. We fail to 'connect' with our neighbor because we don't know if we can trust them. We want to, but we are hesitant. When stuff comes down, who are we going to trust? In Russia, Ukraine etc. it is a CONSTANT fear of who is going to turn you in. Who is going to black mail you for favors? That is SUCH a horrible way to live. They live on bribery and fear and superstition. I saw it myself.

Went to see 'Red Dawn' tonight with my husband. I remember seeing it in the 80's. The remake is pretty good. North Korea backed by Russia invades the U.S. When it was over, I said to the guy next to me who might have been 5-8 years older than I, "Well, thats about how its gonna come down." He replied, "Yep, and its sooner than we think." I agreed. I listened to people talk as they walked by. They were all saying the same thing...

 

i'm sure it's somewhere in this forum (though a quick search just now didn't find it) but it wouldn't go amiss if you could kindly tell us again how one goes about the consecration to our Lady's Immaculate heart.

 

Consecration to Mary thread

Thank you RB2 !

 

Thought at first i'd messed up my search.
It was good of you to create the new thread.
Bonus is that the MI has their quarterly magazine archived on-line.

thanks.

 

I am a little surprised that nobody seems to have come across people who seem really gifted like the person I speak of. This person is booked out for up to two years for appointments with lots of them being for priests and nuns. Having said that and even though they are in ministry for a good few years, I am still in the discerment phase about them... time will tell. Yes I know.. I'm too cautious for my own good sometimes
