Have we reached a point of confrontation, where the light will clash against the dark to overcome it? In this special we will hear a six-year span of a Friend of Medjugorje, where we are today, where the Alabama abortion law fits in, and what a rock star thinks about the United States of America.

"No
one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or
be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life-- what you shall eat or
drink-- or about your body-- what you will wear. Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothing?
"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or
reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are
not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single
moment to your life span?
"Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from
the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not
even Solomon in all his splendour was clothed like one of them. If God so
clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven
tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?
"So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or
what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek.
Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry
about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its
own evil."

This
is Mejanomics with a Friend of
Medjugorje.
[REYES]
And
a Friend of Medjugorje is in the village of Medjugorje at this moment where he
will be meeting up with the Caritas pilgrimage group going to the island of
Patmos where St. John received the book of Revelation, followed by the
pilgrimage to Medjugorje. So, over the next few weeks, we will be hearing from
him coming from overseas. Tonight we wanted to do something a little bit
different. Alabama has been very much in the news lately, especially after the
passage of the historical new Alabama abortion law which bans nearly all
abortions.
And
we want to take a step back in time to April of 2013. Now, this is before the
Cross for the Soul of America had been built on the mountain here at Caritas.
This was after the book They Fired the First Shot was written just a
year before this. For the next few minutes here, we want you to hear what a
Friend of Medjugorje had to say at the Caritas New Community Convention on
April the 18, 2013. And it will give us a very good perspective on what has led
us to where we are today.
And
so, for the next five or six minutes, you will be hearing a Friend of
Medjugorje from the April 18, 2013 New Communities Convention.
[CLIP:
A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE FROM NEW COMMUNITIES CONVENTION]
Every subject,
everything, every marriage, every family, every problem, every economic
situation, the messages apply to because theyre Scriptural. Shes bringing
Scripture to us in a new way for whats been, through the ages, clouded,
through maybe too much theology. Or not maybe, it has. Layer after layer of
thinking, too much, instead of just being simple. Jesus came for division! I
believe that. I see that. I see that in the Medjugorje world. I see that around
Christians. The early pagans, if you go to St. Peters, and where Peter was
buried, and you go underneath the basilica, its incredible. Youre walking on
streets of the cemeteries where pagans were buried. And some of those pagans
families had Christians. They were mixed up together. You see angels on some of
the stones there that the pagans put on there because they believed in angels
after life.
But there
was a mix-match of Christian in the transition of in the world and out. And
thats where we are right now. And the more they got and grew in holiness, the
more they had to get away from where the culture was going.
And so,
youre here to be separated. Youre here for division. And sometimes that
happens right in the middle of the family or right in the middle of the Church.
The churches are dividing. The denominations are coming
closer together than some of the people in the same denominations because the
process of thought of metanoia, of changing mentalities, is bringing people
together. God wants to unify. Diversity is from the devil, nothing less. You
can be you, I can be me. No more. As a Christian nation, youre here for those
principles, one will prevail. Youve read that in They Fired the First Shot,
Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping, a lot of writings through
the years. If we dont take it, they will.
There is no
neutrality, theres no constitutional level playing field thats in regard to
the Constitution that atheists and Christians have the same rights. Theyve got
a right to practice atheism. They dont have a right to put atheistic
principles in our law. Our forefathers told us that the Constitution was
written by Christians and its wholly unfit to govern any other than that. Yes,
they have a right for atheism. Freewill, thats from God, unalienable. We cant
take that away. But we dont have to sit there and say, Youve got equal right
to put in law your beliefs. It cant stay equal that way. One prevails. Whos
prevailing today?
When youve
got one kid, and the parents say, We cant pray in the school, and the rest
of the school wants to. See, it doesnt work. Its self-proved. Its there.
They win because were neutral. satans goal is not to defeat us, but just to
get us to neutral, and then they take over. Its easier to go to reverse and
neutral from reverse to drive. If you go straight from drive to reverse, you
tear the transmission up. If you go neutral, you can keep things going, and we
go right along with it. And were all riding in the car backwards. And thats
where were going, were going backwards. Were defeated. How come we cant
defeat abortion?
Forty,
fifty years weve been fighting it! People are praying, theyre marching,
theyre doing all kinds of sacrifice. We cant stop it! And we think weve made
progress? Weve gone worse! All the while were putting all this energy and
effort into this, and the whole world, from Italy to every place, all over the
world prays for this to stop. You match that up with Elijah. One man, he prayed
and he closed up the Heavens from rain. One man, three years later, opened up
the Heavens for rain to come back. One man in the whole world with tens of,
hundreds of millions of people praying to stop abortion cant close up the womb
and protect it? And yet its open for abortion?
Theyre not
on Gods side, yet theyll win! Theyll win over and over and over. Why is
that? Because we havent looked that were the biggest contributors to
abortion. Its not the doctors, its not the women going in there. We, until we
recognize, are the source of this, will never fix it. And thats one private
revelation about public revelation that Marys coming to show us. You dont
know the real God because you dont know yourself. As Sun-Tzu, I quoted in the
book, we lose if we dont know ourselves, and we dont know our enemy, every
single battle. If we know ourselves but not of enemy, well lose half the
battles. If we know our enemies and we know ourselves, well win almost every
battle we fight. Really, every battle. Sun-Tzu says 100 battles.
And thats
exactly what this warrior-Woman has come to tell us. You got to come back to
My Son. You got to be willing to live sacrificially. You got to be willing to
give your life in living martyrdom, not just somebody killing you on a daily
basis to your own needs in the preference of another. Youve got to be willing
to be hated, defamed, slandered, and still love. And that starts in the home,
because if youre commanded to love your enemy, how much more your spouse?
And every
day we hear about Christians getting divorced. Many here have suffered that.
Many have offered that advice. This has got to stop in the Church because if
you vacate marriage and its sanctity, and you go toward that, or you tolerate
it, and start saying, Well, this persons all abuse, and all this stuff, then
you give marriage over to the abomination. Somebody else is willing to take it,
and theyre taking it from us. Dont blame them. Blame us. Choking words, maybe
hurting some people sitting here, but until you realize, How Ive contributed
to this, how Ive participated in this, how Ive done this, we can never fix
anything. Weve got to fix that in the Church. No more divorce.
If weve
got to be willing to die for an enemy, how much more for a spouse? You may be
put on this earth to bring salvation to that spouse. You may suffer, 40-years,
but how many times have we heard that a husband or wife was brought to God on
their deathbed because of the example of a saint? Oh, well accept Joan of Arc
being burned at the stake, but not the husband or the wife? Its got to stop.
And we
think these are just simple messages? Theyre choking, and theyll choke you to
death. So, were here gathered until we fix these things, God, the corrector of
everything, wont bring that. And thats what Our Ladys here for, is to
correct us, for us to grow in holiness, us to live that, to lead the culture.
Because you all here are going to be apostles for the new springtime that comes
to the Church.
[END
CLIP]
[REYES]
And,
perhaps we are seeing the beginning stages of that. And you have heard a Friend
of Medjugorje say, especially quoted in the recent book Big Q, Little Q
that we are approaching the time of the beginnings of the Secrets of
Medjugorje, and this time we are already starting to see events coming in
motion. And perhaps this new Alabama abortion law is one of the beginning steps
toward that. Certainly, there are a lot more fights to take place, and a lot
more battles that will have to be won.
But
since that time in April of 2013, how many nine-day fasts have been offered.
How many prayers, how many consecrations have been offered? How many patriotic
rosaries have been offered? How many exhortations from a Friend of Medjugorje
to the people of this nation and the people of the world to pray and to convert
and to change their lives because the United States is in the crosshairs of
evil? And we know this. So, knowing that our nation is the target of evil, we
know that there will be many things brought against it.
As
we spend these moments reflecting on our nation and reflecting upon its future,
we want to go more recently to something which a Friend of Medjugorje said in
Texas when speaking about the book Big Q, Little Q, keeping in mind the
distance between 2013 to 2019. Thats a six-year difference between the two,
almost to the day. Here is what a Friend of Medjugorje has to say.
[CLIP
FROM TEXAS: A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Our Lady is
here from Heaven spiritually. And She says, I need you. So youre in the
physical realm. satan has his minions. hes spiritual, but hes got to have his
people doing his bidding too. So, we have the deep state, we have everything
thats taking place, we have an anti-Christ system threaded through our
government, things that are being revealed right now, daily, which is what Our
Lady is exposing, Her plans are part of whats taking place now.
We have to
put in the context of what Our Ladys here for, is just pray, pray the
rosaries. No, She is here to change the direction of the world. The direction
of the world is to an anti-Christ system. And if Shes going to crush it, Shes
going to crush and bring people to conversion. It may be necessary for them to
be in jail to be brought to conversion. A lot of people convert on death row.
We have treason at the highest degree in our nation. All this stuff is
connected to Medjugorje. Dont think its something over there just happening
in Washington. satan has planted in our nation the means to destroy it.
Going to
Europe, all over the world into Russia, Guam, wherever you say it, Ive been to
so many places, there is no place like America. And this place has to be
crushed for the world to be taken over. And for people to think that the Virgin
Mary has nothing to do with it. Our nation was consecrated through John
Carroll, the bishop in the beginning of the United States of America. We did it
in the Field. Many people have asked the visionaries about their nations. Our
Lady gave a message in Alabama after four consecrations on July 3, Form and make prayer groups through which
we will pray for your healing and the healing of this nation to draw closer to
God Weve got the message from it, but its just not spiritual. These
things have to manifest physically.
Trump is an
instrument of Our Lady. Hes part of the plan. You say, Well, hes so crass.
Hes so crude. He does these Tweets. Who do you want? Peter was a cussing
fisherman. Matthew was cheating, as a tax-collector, old people, poor people,
when Jesus says, Hey, come follow Me. What was Mary Magdalene doing the day
before? He turned her love around the other way. Trump is growing. If you
havent noticed, youre listening to the wrong side of the news. God takes you
where you are, and we dont need a cissy in the president seat right now. We
need somebody tough, somebody thats really strong. You cant work in
Manhattan
I was
meeting with Tom Murphy; he owned ABC sports division, news division,
entertainment division. Eighty percent of the news of the world came from Tom
Murphys ABC; he owned it lock, stock, and barrel. Yes, its a public
commodity, but I took him to Medjugorje. His wife was devoted to Our Lady of
Fatima. I worked with 20/20 ABC so I knew all the producers, all these people.
I was right there at their place. The power the media has is incredible and
theyre entrenched and theres evil in it. Tom couldnt even control it even
though he owned, he had full voting authority for ABC. Now, cable came out and
they weakened these companies, but God acts through this. And Hes allowing Our
Lady, She cant change the world, She cant be having some terms physical.
You say,
Oh, this persons demonic, what theyre doing right now with abortions,
demonic. All this stuff. Thats a physical realm. Well, whos behind the
physical, the spiritual? Whos that spiritual behind it? The devil. So you say
Our Lady cant do that? Shes got to implement Her plans physically.
[END
CLIP]
[REYES]
And
what we are seeing taking place in our nation is definitely a physical
implantation of the plan, most particularly the new abortion law which is also
happening across many different states now, are stepping forward and doing
similar things for the purposes of no longer being idle, but to take the fight
to the enemy. And this is what is manifesting now, physically on the earth,
this spiritual forces of evil, the spiritual forces of good coming together in
this clash which a Friend of Medjugorje has recently written about in Big Q,
Little Q: The Calm Before the Storm and what you just heard him speaking in
Texas just one month ago.
These
new abortion laws which are happening are certainly not sealing the deal, so to
speak, but there certainly will be clashes and there certainly will be more
battles which will have to take place. But we are seeing activity. We are
seeing things which are happening. And it is important that it happens in this nation
in order for the rest of the world to follow suit.
Contrary
to what some people may think about Alabama, there actually was a clash which
took place in the Senate during this whole process, and we want you to hear
this because this is an indicator of evil losing its power. Before the abortion
bill was passed and sent to the governor, this is what took place in the
Alabama senate.
[CLIP]
All those
in favor say I. Any opposed?
No! No! No!
Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman! There was no motion! There was no motion! You
didnt even make a motion! Not make a motion!
He made a
motion to table!
He did not
make a motion! There was no motion from the other side!
No, he made
a motion to table. Senator.
No! He
didnt even make a motion! He did not make a motion!
He made a
motion to table.
What was
the motion made?! No motion was made!
Excuse me!
Senator Chambliss, youre recognized!
I dont
care what the chair is about! He did not make a motion!
In response
to the number of abortions
No! No! No!
No! No!
Performed
this year versus the incest.
Mr.
President.
He did not
make a motion.
There were
325,000 abortions that have been performed this year and a little over 3,000
Alright,
state your point of order.
You know, I
know you all are for this bill, and I know this bill is going to pass. Youre
going to get your way. But at least treat us fairly and do it the right way.
So, if there has been a motion made, we would like to have a roll call vote on
that motion.
So, Senator
Chambliss, I mean Senator Figures, were moving on. There was a motion made at
table. Its not debateable. There were not three hands raised. And were moving
on. Senator Chambliss, thank you for you.
Im very
disappointed Mr. President.
[END
CLIP]
[REYES]
So,
thats how people would react to tabling the amendment. That was actually a
call to table the amendment, meaning that they were going to put it off for the
day. Yes, it did eventually pass, but just to see the reactions of people who
would be against something like this is an indicator of the fight thats ahead
of us in the future. Continuing ahead, Ruth will share something with us now.
[RUTH]
Yesterday,
May 16, we published a Medjugorje headline on Mej.com. The title was Running into the Ambush: The New Alabama
Abortion Laws. We want to share with you a few of the feedbacks that we
received from that. Now the first one is someone from Missouri and in this
headline, there were some things quoted from They Fired the First Shot,
and this is in response to that.
I
read They Fired the First Shot 2012. I believe everything that is written. Thank you, Mary and God.
The
next was a feedback sent to us from Florida, and her response to us was:
Alabama
will one day be known as the state from which the restoration of our nation began.
The decades of prayers, fasts, novenas, and petitions to the Queen of Peace to
heal our land from those gathered at Caritas are bearing tremendous fruit.
And
from Texas:
Hallelujah!
Heavens choirs are belting out Sweet Home
Alabama!
[SONG
SWEET HOME ALABAMA]
Sweet home Alabama. Where the skies are so blue. Sweet home Alabama.
Lord, Im coming home to you. Sweet home Alabama. Where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama. Lord, Im coming home to you. Sweet home Alabama. Where the
skies are so blue. Sweet home Alabama.
[REYES]
Many
of you have heard and read a Friend of Medjugorje state that as goes the United
States, so goes the world. One thing that you have not heard him say publicly that
we will reveal tonight is that, as goes Alabama, so goes the United States, so goes
the world. From this little place here, where Our Lady has appeared in a Friend
of Medjugorjes home has given messages, has blessed this nation, has given messages
to heal this nation. We are sitting here in the place that is the central point
of conversion for the entire nation, inspired, foundationed, and directed from the
events of Medjugorje.

Tonight,
as we reflect on our nation and the direction that it is heading, certainly guided
by the hand of Our Lady, as you heard a Friend of Medjugorje say tonight, and as
you have read in They Fired the First Shot 2012 and in the book Big Q,
Little Q: The Calm Before the Storm, we are seeing physical events unfold, guided
by Heaven. And as we continue to reflect on our nation, one more thing which we
would like to share with you which happened very recently.
Gene
Simmons who is the lead singer of the rock band Kiss visited the Pentagon. He spoke
to officials from the Department of Defense and the military who were gathered there.
Gene Simmons was born in Israel. You will hear what he thinks about the United States.
What he has to say may surprise you.
[CLIP
GENE SIMMONS]
I was born in Israel. I know I dont look Swiss. [LAUGHTER]
And Im a proud son of a concentration camp survivor in Nazi Germany. My mother
was 14 when she was in the camps. Im measuring my words because Im about to break
up again. [LAUGHTER] My mother just passed at 93, but, almost there, 10 seconds
control. If Americans could see and hear my mother, almost there, talk about America,
they would understand. And, Ill just cut to the chase. When we first came to America,
my mother let me stay up and watch TV with her. I couldnt speak English very well.
And my mother could barely get by. She worked six days a week in a night. We would
watch the news and whatever, and by 12 oclock, the three or four TV stations would
go off the air. And you would hear sssss. Was kind of just noise, and people presumably
would go to sleep.
Before then, we saw a jet flying through the sky, on TV.
A jet flying through the sky. And a man in a very deep voice was saying something.
I couldnt understand it. And the jet then turned skyward and flew seemingly into
the Heavens through the clouds. And I remember what the man said. And saw the face
of God. And then it melted into the black and white, because in those days we didnt
have color TV. The flag was full screen billowing. And I heard la-da-da, the National
Anthem. And I didnt know what it was or what was going on. And it was almost time
to go to sleep. It was late. And every time my mother saw the flag, shed start
crying.
As an eight-year-old boy I didnt understand why, but for
my mothers point of view, we were finally safe. I may have been born in the country
everybody, give me two seconds. I may have been born in the country that people
throughout history have referred to as the promised land, but take my word for it
[KNOCKS] America is the promised land. For everybody. And dont be ashamed, dont
hesitate. We need to teach young people to be comfortable saying God bless America.
End of my story. [CLAPPING]
[OLD
COMMERCIAL]
Our National Anthem. [INSTRUMENTAL NATIONAL ANTHEM]
[REYES]
And that
was a vintage National Anthem. That actually was a sign-off from a television station
in the early 1960s just as Gene Simmons would have heard in his youth.
And so
tonight, broadcasting from Sweet Home Alabama, in the promised land, the United
States. On behalf of a Friend of Medjugorje, Caritas of Birmingham, the Community
of Caritas, BVM Pilgrimages, the Caritas Mission House in Medjugorje, Medjugorje.com,
and RadioWave 24-hours, God bless America.
