I do believe so. It is usually very quiet at that hour of the morning, but it happened to be very,very busy. When she came in to the office I was working away at the machines. I have worked the night shift on and off for 15 years now and this is unheard off. The Boss was astonished when I told him. I had to repeat what happened three times. He still could not believe it. Happily someone was with me and saw it. Also the one in charge is very favourable towards me, he went to school with my brother. There are no accidents. But she was very malevolent when she came in. Like a bat out of hell.
I think you know it is very good to look at signs in the world around us. But we should also look at the little things that happen right round us. When I am at the computer at home I sit facing my front window . I have noticed strange things looking out recently. I suspect we should be studying the things right round us. They are strange too. Our dreams. Things that are happening in our spiritual lives. Odd conversations and meetings Comments. Strange events. Luke 21:25-36 25 "There will be strange things happening to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth whole countries will be in despair, afraid of the roar of the sea and the raging tide Sudden really, really weird temptations and thoughts. Many shady things. General spookiness.
Very disturbing Padraig, wow! I've been going to the same deli for years, and they recently hired someone new. She is almost overly friendly with customers, just very odd. She wears strange get ups that are not really appropriate for work, but I thought she was just quirky. While waiting at the deli counter yesterday I noticed she was wearing one large earring in her right ear. I took a closer look, and I was horrified to see it was a pentagram. I immediately made the sign of the cross, and hurried away. Yep, they are all 'coming out of the woodwork '.
I thought the same.. The one Dr Marshall uploaded is an older one he made but why did he choose to re post it today? Something's up.
A couple days ago we dropped several packed boxes off at our storage unit and there was a man there putting a cabinet into his storage unit. Upon first glance at this man I felt immediately that he was a satanist. I tried to put it out of my mind because there was no proof of such a thing, but the feeling was very clear and I'm not usually wrong about such things. He met my glance multiple times and I was sure to say some prayers for him and his family. Back when one of my sisters was involved with the occult, our younger sister had an unsettling encounter with a strange and darkly-dressed young man who approached her at a store and asked, "Are you Wiccan?" My sister, shocked, replied, "No!" He looked confused and said, "Are you sure?" To this day, the memory of it bothers her, because she wonders if he was a satanist and could sense a presence that had attached itself to her due to our sister's occult activity. I myself had an encounter with someone in the occult when I was in my late teens. It was the husband of a close friend of my aunt's. At the time, this was not known about him, but the moment I was introduced to him I felt it in my very soul. I could see it right in his eyes. We were at a country western dance place all evening and every time we looked at each other he would stare with the strangest unsettling look and I would stare straight back, at that deep darkness I saw in his eyes. I was so disturbed by him that I wrote about it in my diary later that night. A few weeks later, my mom got off the phone with my aunt and told me that her friend's husband had left the church immediately after entering it for my cousin's baptism because he "felt something evil in the church" and didn't want to be in there. Then a couple weeks later, we learned that he had tried to force his wife and kids to leave the Catholic faith, move away from everyone they knew, and join a strange cult. His wife refused, so he left her and joined the cult himself. He said he's already been involved with this cult for a long time and he'd been supposed to get his family into it or leave them. Everyone was so shocked by this because they all had thought he was a great guy. I wasn't surprised in the slightest. Evil has always been around, though many seem to not notice. I think the culture around us has dulled spiritual senses. The fact that evil seems so much more obvious these days, as if it has stepped forth out of the shadows so everyone can see its ugly face, is actually specifically allowed by God as a gift to us. Evil may in its pride think it doesn't have to hide anymore but demons can't do a thing without God's permission. So this is being allowed by God and has a very specific purpose. What a merciful and good Father we have, Who sees how blind His children have become, that they need to be shown in plain view now what has been stealthily gaining ground right under our noses for so long. I pray that as more people see evil in all its ugliness, they will recoil and search again for the Light.
Father Rippinger tells some weird and wonderful things about what witches get up to , sometimes causing possession or, more usually a Hex or a curse. Sometimes they put a 'Bolus', or cursed object in food or attach it to some object, which they gift or sell cheap to some poor unfortunate. They sometimes even attach them to children's toys. We can see now that the old Catholic custom of getting our cars and homes and RV's blessed was a great idea. I read of one priest who brings a small bottle of Holy Water with him when travelling. He says when you enter a strange hotel room you have no idea at all what previous occupants have been up to. That evil spirits can attach to a place. I must get our priest to bless my home soon , I keep meaning to but keep forgetting. I remember one time staying at a house in London England one time years ans years ago , it was very old. I slept in a down stairs room but my sleep was very, very disturbed. I kept feeling someone, a dead spirit coming down the stairs and saw a large pool of blood form near a large radiator in the corner several times. I believe this poor soul was murdered in that spot yonks and yonks ago. Maybe about the 19th century, I could tell by her dress. She was still stuck there. Prayers.
Holiness is a reflection of the Glory of God. It's opposite in terms of evil , or witchcraft is Glamour. Evil in itself is not attractive, quite the opposite. So when the Devil tempts us to do evil he shrouds it an appearance of goodness of beauty or good so that it appears Glamourous. It attracts even thought it is evil. A good example of this was in the Garden of Eden, the Apple of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. . Satan the Snake put a Glamour or charm on the apple so it attracted Eve. Some of the old tales about Witches changing themselves into beautiful young women to attract the unwary contain a truth. That evil attracts by putting forward and attractive aura , a glamour. Just as holy people attract through their holiness the evil person attracts through this illusion, this glamour. I notice this most especially in evil or bad clergy. They , though totally evil and corrupt can even have a reputation for holiness, even of being Saints. Rasputin was a good example of this. A Charm is where you , through a Spell place this Glamour on a person or object for a desired effect. A love potion is a good example of this. There would not be much good being a Satanist or Witch if people ran from you screaming when they saw you. So this Glamour, this illusion of attraction is really, really important.
I think you know in an ideal world were everyone prayed , everyone would things and people as they really should, with the inner eyes of the heart. But in our sinful fallen world people so easily live as though in a false dream and cannot distinguish inner reality from illusion. They live as though in some bad dream, considering what is good, bad and what is bad good. Woke culture is a good example of this. A descent into illusion into the Glamour of Evil.
Odd timing. I heard someone say recently "to believers it will be an Illumination. To unbelievers it will be a Warning." Hmmm.
Thank you padraig for saying this. One time I was reading a mystic and was really liking it all. Then I heard a voice clearly say to me-don't read this-stop! But smarty pants me knew better. I was just drawn back to it. So as I started to read it again, suddenly my chair was yanked back away from the computer and I was clearly told don't read this, it has a glam on it. I always thought that satanic and witches' spells and their persons have a glam on them.
Yes. Why on Earth did Eve eat the apple? It is the same thing over and over and over again throughout the history of the World and in our own past too. Why one Earth nto we choose what is evil? Romans 7:19 Struggling with Sin …18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. 20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.…
Finding prayers seem to be getting answered so quickly these days, well most of them. About Fr Blount, I have been listening to him lately and he is worthy great attention, also he has such hope and very little fear, God Bless him and all here.
Agree Indy. I've been listening quite a bit too. He is always uplifting but he is a tough love priest. He doesn't mince words about sin.
