I regard the time of peace as a time of preparation for victory. The soul must be ever watchful; watchfulness and again, watchfulness. The soul that reflects receives much light. A distracted soul runs the risk of a fall, and let it not be surprised when it does fall. • O Spirit of God, Director of the soul, wise is he whom You have trained! But for the Spirit of God to act in the soul, peace and recollection are needed. (Diary, 145) 💛💙❤️ Imagine 25,000 young people standing in silence adoring Jesus. That’s happening now at #NCYC 🙌🏼 The church’s job is to hand on the faith to the next generation. The youth of today face a battle like the world has never seen before. It’s our responsibility to teach them how to prepare for it and keep the victory Christ died to give them, and to lead them to the true food that will become their daily bread, which sustains them. • “No matter how much you live the experience of these years of your youth, you will never know their deepest and fullest meaning unless you encounter each day your best friend, the friend who is Jesus." -Pope Francis, Christus Vivit 150 ❤️⠀ There is true joy found in friendship with Christ, and that friendship begins with the desire to have a relationship with Him. Are you encountering Jesus every day as your best friend? • Be ever watchful. #EncounterLife #DivineMercy #33daystomercifullove #SaintFaustina #PopeFrancis https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Nda74Ak1v/?igshid=13cfffipudddz

The Spirit comes gently and makes himself known by his fragrance. He is not felt as a burden for God is light, very light. Rays of light and knowledge stream before him as the Spirit approaches. The Spirit comes with the tenderness of a true friend to save, to heal, to teach, to counsel, to strengthen and to console. • 🔥When he comes sit and visit with Him. #SaintCyrilofJerusalem #SaintWisdom #EncounterLife #HolySpirit #KnowingGod https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WQd92A0HG/?igshid=19z0avxbkjjw2

The secrets of his heart will be revealed, and as a result he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, "God is really among you." {1 Corinthians 14:25} The Spiritual Gift of Prophecy is the lifeblood of the #NewEvangelization. If the Sacrament of Eucharist is the visible manifestation of the invisible Christ then the prophetic gifts are the spirit of the Eucharist. Through them, they deliver the spirit of Jesus into the hidden rooms of the heart making manifest His desires already placed therein and releasing them to new life in His Body-the Church. The testimony of Jesus IS the spirit of prophecy {Revelation 19:0} Wherever the spirit of Jesus is revealed there IS the heart of prophecy. Prophetic people reveal Jesus in our hearts. A Eucharistic Church reveals Jesus to the whole world. “I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!" {Numbers 11:29} THANK YOU JESUS 🔥 COME HOLY SPIRIT, FILL OUR HEARTS! #EncounterLife #spiritualgifts #prophecy #destiny #unlock #givemejesus #eucharist #prophesy #propheticpeople #onebody #revealingjesus https://www.instagram.com/wakingeve/p/Bvtp64yApcy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yz7sdyzffue5

Son of man, What do you see? 👀 Our Heavenly Father is always inviting us to participate in what He is doing. The prophet Jeremiah gives us a glimpse of this prophetic exchange in chapter 1:11-19. “Then the LORD said to me, ‘Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?’ And I replied, ‘I see a branch from an almond tree.’ The LORD said to me, ‘You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.’” ⬇️ Not only is God watching to see that His plans come to pass but He invites us to watch with Him AND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOING. God never leaves a prophetic vision without interpretation and understanding. “I am about to summon all the peoples...I will pronounce my judgements...” ⬇️ Then He does what any loving Father would do, He gives His sons and daughters INSTRUCTION on how to handle what they have seen and PREPARE themselves for what He will do. “Get yourself ready!” ⬇️ Along with instructions to prepare for what is to come, He also gives us the outcome. But it’s up to each of us to partner with the vision. ⬇️ It’s not just enough to “Look and See” if we are not prepared to also UNDERSTAND & PREPARE. God is not a Magic 8 Ball!!! The Gift of Prophecy is not a #CrystalBall 🔮!!! Approaching God’s Heart is not a parlor trick to amuse your friends nor is it a #starmap for peering into your own destiny - astrologers and tarot card readers can do that! When we approach the Father’s heart through the Gift of Prophecy we are invited to partner with Him for a future He has prepared for us - not just a future we’d like to see but a future HE would like to see. To this end, we must prepare ourselves, getting ready to cast down any temptations which hinder HIS vision. In this way alone does a prophetic word come to pass - when we choose like Mary to see the Father’s plan for His Kingdom and submit ourselves willingly, obediently, HUMBLY, to His Son Jesus - and DO what He tells us. ⬇️ Don’t be afraid to partner with the prophetic vision you’ve been given-for the Lord declares “They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you.” 👀 SON OF MAN, WHAT DO YOU SEE? DO IT HIS WAY. #prophecy #encounterlife #wakingeve https://www.instagram.com/wakingeve/p/BvkDbJUH8Ue/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o53b6650v9nb
