"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."

[ANNOUNCER]

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

[REYES]

And, you are listening to Mejanomics broadcasting from Caritas, Alabama from the Radio Wave Studios. Today, we are going to begin with a short encounter with a Friend of Medjugorje with the BVM Caritas Pilgrimage group. This short message from a Friend of Medjugorje was given on June 23, 2019. This is before the monthly message, which Our Lady gave just a few days ago. And its interesting to hear what he has to say in light of the message that we receive after this. When this concludes, well have a short update for you. And so speaking to us from the village of Medjugorje, here is a Friend of Medjugorje.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Today Im going to talk to you man to man. You say, Well, Im a woman. No, youve got man in woman. W-o-m-a-n. Man. So, man to man Im speaking to you. Because thats what Our Ladys doing to us. I just heard a story, a pretty neat story recently from a Protestant minister. He said that somebody came to him, a father who came home from work, and he wanted to relax. His son wanted to play. He was five, six years old. And he wanted to come sit in a lounge chair and watch TV or whatever. His son comes jumping on his lap and he had a newspaper, so he gave it to him. He got him, and walked to a table and cut that up. It had a world on it. He said, Ill tell you what, you put this back together. And so, he cut all the pieces, laid it out. He went back in his lounge chair and the boy came back real quickly. And he said, How did you do that so fast? He said, Well, on the back of it, there was a big picture of a man on there. Its easier to put him back together. Then I flipped it over, and the world was together. And the dad was shocked because what he realized, and what God told him through that, is to put the world back together, the man has to be put back together.

If we need anything in the world today we need advice. Because we have to put man back together, but its not we, w-e. Its Our Lady. She is here to put man back together. Why is that necessary? Because we are broken. We are cut up. And the world is messed up and its broken. And so, Our Lady is coming here through this thing and bringing us to the sweet conversion. You experience all these things. You think, Oh, how beautiful it is. Then youre reading with St. Theresa, one of the St. Theresas, I think it was, who was going across the stream. Youve heard this story maybe. And the saddle fell upside down. She almost drowned. She gets across. She says, If this is how you treat the ones you really love, how do you treat everybody else? In other words, it goes through a lot of cognition and suffering and difficulties.

In the beginning, conversion is beautiful, and you finally start changing yourself. You think things are going to get better. Its the opposite. It gets worse because you have to be purified. Our Lady is here to fix the world. It cant happen with man being put back together without purification. And you cant give advice unless youve gone through the gauntlet. You know what a gauntlet it. The Indians used to make people run through it. They beat them as they ran through there. Some stabbings, everything. Youre going to suffer. Im not saying this to scare you. Im explaining this, its for your own good.

I was under a lot of persecution. I was at Marijas house years ago, in the 80s. Fr. Jozo was sitting there and I had a French friend that was speaking to him in Croatian. And he says [a Friend of Medjugorje] has all these difficulties, hes being attacked for what he was doing and all this. And Fr. Jozo said, Good for him. I didnt like that. But I understand exactly what he meant because you cant get where God wants you to get without going through the gauntlet. And that brings peace.

So, Our Lady is here to purify you and thereby put you back together to thereby put the world back together. We have a message from Our Lady that said there will not be a World War III. The logic of that is, we cant. Because if we have a World War III, the world is over. If you read Twenty Years of Apparitions in the Mission House, youll see in there how many times Our Lady has stopped us from going into nuclear war. Russia was ready to drop the bombs in 1984. Theres a book called The Red Rogue. In 1968, the Russian Operatives hijacked a submarine to make a war with China. They actually fired a nuclear bomb on Hawaii at 5:00 in the morning. But God intervened. I wont tell you the end of the story. Its incredible. But this is all documented.

But repeatedly, weve been on the brink of nuclear war. So, there wont be a World War III. God has to stop that. But I can tell you, were in World War III right now. Why? Because the world is at war. Every nation is at war. And because every state is at war, every county, every village is at war because mom and dad are at war everywhere.

Weve got broken families. One thing that surprised us in 1988 when Marija first came, is she chose to be in our bedroom. We were shocked about that. We were praying for our nation. We wanted it to be healed. It took four or five years of discernment of what She did for three months and the messages, calling for a community, and what She asked me to do, and all the things She was teaching through Her messages, that we started clicking that the Tree in the Field represented America, which is what we wanted to pray for which is the day She picked on Thanksgiving Day. The only day America, the United States, gives thanksgiving to God for our nation itself. Slowly, over a five-year period, before Our Lady came back through Marija, we realized that you have to heal the family to heal the nation. Because nations are made up of families. And until you get that in your head, that I have to be healed, you have to be healed, your family has to be healed, then things come back together.

We are at war. Marriage is constantly at war now because weve lost who we are. We lost who We have fallen. We have messed up things. Everybody has made mistakes. But Our Lady doesnt care. Shes not scandaled by anything we have done. So, Shes coming here to shows us that, I know Our Lady is speaking, I know what Im getting into. Shes been begging God to come down here. She knew She was going to have a time to work on the earth. And if theres any time we need mother, this is it. Because out of mother comes man. Out of mother comes the little boy. And the little girl. And so the man is a gentleman because she teaches the gentle side of it.

So, Our Lady has a lot of lessons for you. Shes going to show you things about yourself, not about your spouse, not about your kids, not the kids to what the parents are and what theyve done. Our Ladys cleaning slate. She doesnt care what happened in the past except She has great care of what happens to heal you from that. In other words, you cant go fix what happened, but what you can do is be going through Her school to be fixed no matter whats happened in your past.

Two weeks ago I was here. We had a group. We went to Patmos, Greece where Revelation was written. Three of the women on there were divorced. And theyre reading How to Change Your Husband now. And now they want to apply it. But its after the fact. And they have to live with a lot of sorrows that cant be reversed except through forgiveness, repentance, atonement. Our last message, I think it was on the second when Our Lady said, My children, forgiveness is the most exaltedlove. You, as apostles of my love, must pray that you be strong in spirit and you could comprehend and forgive Youre not going to grow here if you cant be on this holy ground, this Jerusalem, a stage of the pre-Armageddon. Because this is Armageddon. Our Lady is here to do battle. Dont think any less than that. This is a parallel because we are in an anti-Christ system. If its not disrupted, you wont be buying something five years from now or even two years or tomorrow if they want to turn the light switch on, whether you can buy or sell now, they can stop you.

I got in line at Delta. Now theyre taking pictures of face recognition. You go to TSA. Theyre taking a picture of face recognition. We just had a drone blown up in international waters near Iran that flew in one place for 30 hours in surveillance 2,000 miles, $180 million dollars and they shot it out of the sky. Im not bringing it up because of that. Im bringing it up because they can read a tag 10, 15, 20 years ago for a satellite. This things not a satellite. This is only a few miles up and they can see faces, they can see where youre going, they know where youve got a house. They know everything youre doing. They know who you visit. They know everything about you.

Weve got somebody we know that was in the military. He was in New York in one part of the military operations. He would go to work 8-5, come home, and hed kill people. He was flying drones before they advanced to where they are right now. And they were tracking down terrorists. They could identify them. And he was telling me one story of where the terrorists theyd been looking for. He got on a street corner waiting to cross the street through traffic. And he sent a missile down. And there were people around him. But this guy was so bad they took him out. And he says it was the strangest thing looking at this guy, and the last thing he saw, hes looking up, he sees the missile coming, blown up.

They can track you anywhere, anytime, for whatever reason. And weve got evil people we see wanting to stop us to be Christians. Want us to be open to whatever degradation they can promote. So were in an anti-Christ system, an anti-Christ time but its not time because its Our Ladys time and the serpents head will be crushed, mortally wounded. So, were also in a time of the Tower of Babble. Our Ladys here to crash it. Our Ladys here to crush it. Were going to go a little bit backwards to a better time, a better way to live. And the anti-Christ will rise again because we never give away what we have. And thats why I have an aversion to all this modern stuff, cell phones, all these things. You dont realize where thats leading you to. The more you get into it you see it. So were in a dangerous position right now.

Had Our Lady not come, Our Lady told Ivan in 1984, If I had not come, the world would have destroyed itself. You and I wouldnt be sitting here. Do you believe the apparitions? Then you have to believe Our Ladys words. Shes not exaggerating. Shes not trying to make some false thing to motivate you or pump you up. No, She said, Had I not come, the world would have destroyed itself. Your world is your goings and comings. You want to destroy your world? Then dont forgive. Or cling to it. Or say, Oh I forgive, but I havent forgotten. God, when you go to Confession, Jesus, when you go to Confession, not only forgives you, He forgets it. Yes, you have to atone, but He's wiped out. Hes not holding it back.

All these people, Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court, they go all to the past. Theyre going and looking in records. Jesus walks up to Matthew, the tax collector. The guy is cheating people, stealing from poor people, wickedly! And He said, Hey, follow Me, buddy. He goes right there. He didnt do an interview. Well, what have you been doing today? Mary Magdalene, He didnt go into Her past. You follow me. Jesus doesnt care what youve done. Yes, youll atone for it. But Jesus doesnt go in the past and say, Well, youre not qualified to be an apostle. And Our Lady is here to raise up apostles and its a prophecy of Louis de Montfort who said Our Lady would come in the latter days to raise up apostles of the latter days. Youre in it and youre here for this. Will you find it? Will you recognize it? Not if you dont clean the slate. Forgive everybody no matter whats happened to you. And dont do a me too movement or whatever other movement that, Ive got to do this or do that. Forget it. Walk away. Its not like a therapist says, Oh, weve got to expose this. We have to do that.

Jesus got furious in the Poem of the Man-God with Judas for talking about Mary Magdalenes past. Shes pure. Shes clean even if shes not pure and clean in that moment. We are to start with that kind of mentality. You cant fix everybody else. You cant fix your children. The children cant fix the parents. Their workers, whatever. You can only fix one thing in your life and thats yourself. So, all the messages must be interpreted for me. And then once you have that cognition, those experiences, you will have people coming to you.

I never wanted to do this. Id rather be on a tractor or on a horse or do something like that. That was not my plan. Gods plan was different. And when He asked me to do what I did I said, Well God Im funding this. I started Caritas to spread Catholicism. This was not my plan. Youve been telling Me for three years youll do whatever I say. I said, Yeah, I would do that, but not that. We had a guy at Caritas, his name was Jimmy. I dont know if any of you had met him. Has anyone met Jimmy? Hes gone now, but Jimmy was always funny with the kids and he says, Im not scared of anything. Ill do anything. Ill do anything. So, we were going to Rosary and we had to go across a log to a creek and I stayed up on top of the mountain a little bit longer. He went with everybody else and then he came back. I said, Why are you coming back this way? Go the shorter way. We have to go to Rosary. The bells were ringing. He says, Well, I got to that log. I said, You were just bragging about how you do anything. Youre not scared of anything. He said he didnt want to go across the log. I said, Why? He said, I dont want to go across it! I said, Youre scared? He said, No, Im not scared of anything. I said, Well then go across it. He said, Well, Im scared of that.

So, we cant pick what were scared of. We walk with Our Lady. She says repeatedly, Dont be afraid. And She says, Dont be afraid of the future. What does that mean? If somebody tells you, If you pray, youre not afraid of evil, or, if you pray and fast youre not afraid of the future. So, were not to be concerned of whats going to happen in the future. The more you change yourself, the stronger you get, and you accept whatever happens, even if its bad. You, as apostles of my love, must pray that you be strong in spirit and that you could comprehend and forgive You will never be in that position if you dont forgive. And She says, You, apostles of my love, by understanding and forgiveness, are giving an example of love and mercyBy forgiveness you are showing that you know how to love She says, Icall you to prayer, to fasting to tell you to believe, to hope, to forgive

So, its not just asking for forgiveness. Many people think, Oh, I have to ask for forgiveness. No, you have to forgive to receive forgiveness. There is a message that Our Lady actually says that real strong weve been focusing on in Community that is not just ask for forgiveness, you have to forgive. If you cant do that, you cant grow.

All the apparitions Our Lady was beautiful, beyond imagination. Her dresses, what She comes in, how Shes clothed in Her garments. She comes here completely different. She has a grey dress on because there is a reason for that. Shes signifying, Im here to work. Im not here as a Queen. Im here as a Mother to wash this world down, to wash you down, to purify you. And a lot of what Shes doing is work. And conversion takes work. And so Our Lady is here knowing how bad the situation was, how difficult it was where we are. She chose us. Youre not choosing Her. And you have to place yourself in a disposition for that.

[REYES]

And so, that was a Friend of Medjugorje on June 23, 2019. Keep in mind that this was given a few days before Our Ladys 25^th message when She spoke about a new time. And its interesting when we hear a Friend of Medjugorje speaking at this moment in his description of how Our Lady comes to us, it reminds us of the time when Jesus came and all the people believed in this Messiah, king, and all the images of David and the person who would reign on the throne of David. And here Jesus comes and Hes amongst the poor. Hes touching diseased people. Jesus said that the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head. And they couldnt understand who Jesus was. And we see this a lot with Our Lady today, people do not understand who She is. And a Friend of Medjugorjes description just now that She is here to work and to do something and to create something is very, very important for us to come to grips with and to understand and figure out how we have to implement this in our life.

And so, speaking to us now, we have Century Silver Exchange that will give us an update on some concrete things that we can take this message from a Friend of Medjugorje and apply it physically into our lives.

[JASON CENTURY SILVER MANAGER]

I think it would be appropriate to start with an except from It Aint Gonna Happen which Ill read now. This is from the chapter The New Way of Life.

When one went to Medjugorje in the 1980s, it was wonderful to see the resourcefulness of the village living a sustenance way of life. Many families raised a couple of pigs for the year, smoked them to preserve them without refrigeration, had chickens for eggs and meat, a milk cow, goats, sheep wool for clothing, a small vineyard for wine, and a garden for vegetables and fruit. They often did this on less than two acres of land. Living this way brought a high level of freedom from the slavery of the economic order.

Medjugorje visionary Marija said of her being raised in an agrarian life that sometimes she remembered crying in the fields because it was hard. But they would come home and stay up until midnight talking, laughing, cutting up, and just being happy. It was not an idealist life, rather one of hard work. But they were a happy people living close to the soil.

The main point is they actually created wealth right out of the ground rather than being only a consumer, in debt, and a slave to a serfdom economic system where in our present system, when people lose their jobs, suddenly they have no way to feed themselves. And as more people lose jobs, the governments capability is limited in giving handouts. How will many be able to eat? This is a serious question to ask yourself. So, what happens when the system overloads as it will do in a paper currency, fiat money system when wealth is not being created, but rather transferred into the debt balloon which is only getting bigger. It will pop. Why? Because it can only hold so much air.

So what does this mean? It means while we are still limping, bouncing along, waiting for this economy to improve, the balloon is only getting bigger. We are in an urgent time. Use the light of common sense while you have time. Get rid of everything you do not need. Downsize. Get a little cottage, even a mobile home. Get a plot of land. Educate yourself to what is happening around you. You can go through the door now. When things happen, not everyone is going to be able to squeeze out the door. When the rush is on, it will be too late. The building will collapse crushing all those still inside, in this case the economy. When it crashes it will crush everyone to the degree they are still tied to the present economic system.

Our Lady says, Use this time well. October 25, 1985. Here you have a time of grace in conversion. It is necessary to use it well. A time of grace in conversion. It is a grace that Our Lady is showing us a new way of life. And yes, that means to convert and grow in holiness.

So, one question that people should ask themselves is the question a Friend of Medjugorje posed. To what degree am I still tied to the present economic system? Because as a Friend of Medjugorje writes, thats the degree you will be crushed when the system crashes. One simple way to help separate yourself from the existing economic system is to exchange your paper currency, your paper dollars, for the Miraculous Metal Medjugorje Round. When you do that, you hold something physical. You hold physical wealth in the form of a physical silver round. The Miraculous Metal Medjugorje Round was created with a dual purpose. A Friend of Medjugorje intended it to be first for conversion through spreading the Miraculous Metal image, and then second, for preserving and protecting your wealth and separating yourself at least to a certain degree from the present economic system.

If you are interested in exchanging your paper dollars for the Miraculous Metal Medjugorje Round, you can contact Century Silver Exchange by calling toll free (877) 936-7686. Thats (877 936-7686. You can also visit centurysilver.com, or email info@centurysilver.com. And as many of you already know, Century Silver Exchange is a for-profit subsidiary of Caritas of Birmingham. It bears its own expenses and pays income taxes on its income. If there is any income leftover at the end of the year, it may make a dividend donation to Caritas to help further its mission.

[REYES]

And so, why do we bring these things up? You just heard a Friend of Medjugorje say that we live in the time of Armageddon, that was also live in the time of the Tower of Babble and that Our Lady is here to take it down. And so, any steps that you take right now as you begin your prayer life, and those of you who have been following the writings of a Friend of Medjugorje, these radio broadcasts for many years now, you have heard many of these things before, but hearing it in the present context. And its easy to lose sight of that especially in a booming United States economy that we have right now, especially with President Trump and a lot of the promising things that are happening economically for our nation.

We cannot also lose sight of the fact that the system itself is under judgement. And thats what you heard a Friend of Medjugorje say.

[JASON CENTURY SILVER MANAGER]

There is another section from It Aint Gonna Happen, the same chapter, The New Way of Life, that would be appropriate to bring up here. It reads:

Our Lady knows the future is very dark and something to be afraid of, and there are real valid reasons to be afraid of evil. However, Our Lady said, Do not be afraid of the future or of evil. And She gave instructions on how not to be. January 25, 2001. The one who prays is not afraid of the future, and the one who fasts is not afraid of evil. This message proves that both a very dark future and fearful evils are coming but also what to do to conquer the fear of the future and evil.

So, the legitimate concern after reading this writing should be a motivation to act, not through fear, but through concern. And not tomorrow, but yesterday. Our Lady said November 2, 2006, Your time is a short time Let fear be cast away through prayer. You do not need fear to cloud your decisions. You need hope. In a brighter way of life, Our Lady is bringing us to.

[REYES]

And so, summing up everything which a Friend of Medjugorje said to the BVM Caritas pilgrimage group, especially in light that just two days later Our Lady spoke about the coming of a new time that one of the most important actions was to forgive. And we know a lot of people have made mistakes in their life. And we encourage you not only to forgive people who have hurt you, but also yourself. A lot of people are in debt right now through mistakes that they have made. And you have to begin with forgiving yourself for these mistakes, everything from mortgage payments to student loans or even mistakes your spouse has made. Forgiveness is the beginning step to get you on the right path to be prepared for the future.

And wed like to end with six actions which a Friend of Medjugorje gives in the book It Aint Gonna Happen. And these six actions are things which he has said six things to do in the short time that we have.

Number one is conversion. Then change the direction of your life. That means spiritually and physically.

Number two: get out of debt. Remember Our Lady said, I wish to call you to pray, pray, pray! In prayer you shall perceive the greatest joy and the way out of every situation that has no exit March 28, 1985.

Number three: pray and fast for each step for God to lead you to the new direction. Our Lady said, Do not deceive yourself that you can do anything without Him, not even to take a single step September 2, 2006.

Number four: abandon all concerns to the good Father. And this is in line with what a Friend of Medjugorje just said about starting with a new slate.

Number 5: tithe ten percent of everything you earn. If you cannot afford to tithe, it is because you are not tithing. No one can afford not to tithe. Life costs you more when you do not tithe. It is a Biblical mandate. Rich or poor alike, start now. And we will be the first to add that our mission is in great need of your support. We have many projects which are waiting to be started. And many more people who are waiting to be fed who have life changing information that can help them to change the direction of their life. And many of your who have experienced that in your own life, we ask you to give to this mission so that we can give that gift to others.

And number six: live the Sabbath. If you do not incorporate this into your life, forget any hope of rescue. You will go down with the rest of the culture. And we encourage you to read the book Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping, or the short book When Troubles Befall You.

And so, bringing all these things together, we continue to remember everyone in prayer. And 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 Radio Wave 24-hours, goodbye.
