The Sifting

 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32

I was reading about how Maria Esperanza said back in December of 2003, that Jesus was going to come to us in a different way. She said, He is going to come in silence… People will realize He is among us little by little. His first presentation will be like this, because in those days an innocent person whom He loves a lot will die, an innocent person. This will shock the world, will move the world.”

I realized this is a prediction about Charlie Kirk. People have been mourning him all over the world. There aren’t just prayer vigils in America, but also the UK and South Korea. And I see a sifting happening. Evil has shown itself and people are taking sides. It is like we can see the separating of the sheep from the goats. And many call evil good and good evil. Charlie’s assassination has provoked an awakening. People are heading back to church. In my own hometown we had a vigil for him singing praise to God.

But of course, this has angered many, most especially Satan. We’re headed into more tumultuous times. We need more than ever to cling to Christ.

I sat in meditation over the 23rd Psalm yesterday. I closed my eyes and pictured myself laying in green pasture with Christ. He had his arms around me and I laid my head on his chest.

Suddenly it gets very dark. Pitch black. I cannot see. But I know His arms are around me. I hear growling like wolves all around. They are nipping at my heels. Jesus pulls me close. I can hear his heart beat. It is stronger than the growling. He tells me to be still, that He will fight for me. He doesn’t even let go of me to fight. He commands the angels. He whispers in my ear asking for just one thing. Yes, Lord, what do you want? Faith.

Though I can feel the beasts pressing in on all sides, I give Him my faith. I give Him my heart. No sooner do I do this and suddenly it is light, and I see we are surrounded by flowers. He tells me He has always been the keeper of the storm.

This meditation is what I feel represents the time we are now entering. When Jesus told me to be still, it was like a peace came over me. Be at peace, even in the darkest night.

    Charlie’s death is a mini warning before the real warning comes

    • I definitely think it has illuminated people

      Yes. COVID was also a warning. I do believe there will be a Warning as described by many saints and visionaries, a judgment in miniature when we will see the state of our souls as God sees it. In the end, we will all appear before the judgment throne of God. Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy. Mother Mary, graciously hear us!

    I have had all the same thoughts. It was really interesting yesterday to see Maria Esperanza’s quote on Spiritdaily’s article. The whole phenomenon since the murder has been amazing. Some of us grieving as though we knew Charlie personally, but feeling that something had changed. I told my dear friend the day it happened, that I hoped the name “Turning Point” was prophetic, and I believe it is! We are in for quite a ride, as your meditation makes clear. Cover us Mother Mary and Jesus! We need all you Saints and angels to strengthen us!

    Amen. 30 years ago the Lord revealed days of darkness ahead both physically and spiritually. I have seen a pitch black sky illuminated by a cross. Sadly, I did not know Charlie Kirk before his death. Now I can see he was an apostle of our times.
