Odd premonition

[adrift]

Premonitions are not “superstition”…they are a gift of the Holy Spirit. The Prophets prophesied, were they superstitious? I was given a premonition by the Blessed Mother at age five (a prophesy) but I could never remember what she told me until over the years a certain number became apparent. .

I caution you that things can be of the devil too. The devil will masquerade as a thing of light. You can easily fool yourself. Don’t give the devil room to get in. I have seen this happen in my family. A family member said she had a premonition that something would happen and that she told people about it before it happened. That was her memory. The truth was that she never said anything until after. At the time she spoke of dreams after the event. Gradually over time she began saying she had the dream before. I think she believes that she said things before but that is human nature they change facts to fit what they believe. It isn’t much of a prediction to say the Pope is aged and might die. That you say you looked up his age is a statement that should be taken with a grain of salt. I don’t see how anyone would not know that he is elderly.

Your trip sounds grand have a good time.

That apparition was not from Satan. I was five years old. I was very attached to the infant Jesus and to Mary. The things she told me came true and there’s still more that I don’t remember. If an inner locution, a vision, or an apparition brings you closer to GOD, then how can it be from Satan? A house divided against itself cannot stand. People just don’t believe this stuff is possible because it hasn’t happened to them. It’s as simple as that. As for my premonition regarding the Pope, that could be my own anxiety. I want to attend this general audience so badly because that blessing will mean so much to me. So far he seems fine. I pray for him every day. It’s very difficult to tell if it’s interior or inner locution when it just “appears” in your thoughts. I’ve had many in my lifetime and they did come to pass. Recently, more (even about far off events, very strange). I don’t go looking for them, they are given to me. I have no idea why.

Have you ever been (if I may ask)?

No.

Then this is the first one? Your premonition of the Holy Father dying before Oct 15 obviously is false.
The devil can and does use false apparitions in order to lead people astray. Bayside NY is a good example of the harm that the devil does. If you were to ask those who believe in this condemned apparition, they would tell you that it brings them closer to Jesus. They have been deceived. Be careful that you aren’t deceived too.

I do hope you had a wonderful time and your audience with the Pope was fulfilling.

Perhaps telling people about it as you are here and now is what you were supposed to do with that info so we can all pray for him. The Lord God won’t give you prophecy where you have to act on it if you are not in a position of influence to bring that about. We will pray.
Have a great trip…

I’m not asking you to believe me. And I’m not claiming extraordinary “powers”. These are gifts of the Holy Spirit, available to anyone who loves God and striving for sainthood (and I don’t mean beatification or canonization, I mean sainthood as Jesus spoke of it). God “talks” to us, each one of us. Most people don’t know that, don’t understand it, block it. I call this “inner locution” for lack of a better way to describe it. It has saved my life, literally, at least twice. It has forewarned me of catastrophe. It has also communicated everyday things that bring me joy, such as: a few nights ago, suddenly I was reminded of a praying mantis (there’s a colony near my house which is now vacant and for sale) and the next morning, there in front of me as I went out the door with my dog, was a praying mantis. I had a conversation with it. Several months ago I had a prompting/thought/inner locution about a natural disaster and the next day, sure enough, there had been one exactly as “described” to me. These aren’t intended for worldwide publication or erudition, they are God’s way of telling me He is in control and has His finger on me and will not let me struggle alone. I don’t claim to be a prophet, but I have had real visions (and I’m not schizophrenic) and I have had this communication all of my life since very early childhood.

You had a conversation with a praying mantis?

No.

I quoted the wrong post so I am reposting with the right one.

I did not have a premonition that the POPE WOULD DIE I had a premonition that I would not be able to see him and so I leaped to the conclusion that he would be ill or worse. As it happened for all you who say I serve Satan (and God forgive you), I WAS RIGHT. I did NOT get to see the Pope. I did not get to ROME. I got sick in Paris with bronchitis and had to cut my trip short. You see, premonitions aren’t “Tomorrow Mr. Brown will suffer a heart attack at 3PM”, NOT how it works. You get a “message” - inner locution - that makes you think it has to do with Mr. Brown or anything else that is brought to your attention. I’ve had these all my life, they are difficult to interpret because my own flesh and fear and anxiety interferes with interpretation. And I don’t go looking for it either, it just happens. So, my premonition was correct. I never get sick, haven’t been sick in nine years with any respiratory illness. This was the last thing I expected. It is good to pray for the Pope, he needs our prayers, there’s a power struggle in Rome. It is not good to tell someone that what they receive from God is from Satan. Who are YOU to judge ME? And furthermore, yes I had a conversation with a praying mantis. In fact, just yesterday I saw another one and had a conversation with that one, too. Life - all of it - is from God. We are all connected. We must respect all life forms. And often, God uses nature to speak to us. We’re told this in scripture. Last time I’m ever posting on this forum.

I have had a “premonition” that the Pope **will not be alive **when I get to Rome.

You need to consult with a priest today. I knew that somehow you would adjust your “premonition” so that is would be right. Please please see a priest about this.

And in addition to this, as Father Amorth would say, a good psychiatrist. The conversation with praying mantis and flipping out on Aussieman when he was more likely to be on her side, troubles me.

Doesn’t the church usually investigate Mary’s appearances and determine if it was true? Hoenstly, I as well and of the opinion if the church did not declare it to be true, then Mary did not appear.

I do believe Jesus may have spoken to your heart in a daily matter but not at 5 about something that will happen in the future

One last comment on this site and I use this post as the venue. Mother’s appearance was personal, yes I was five and this was most likely an NDE as I was extremely and dangerously ill with double pneumonia. Yes, I remember it vividly. Things told me have been revealed especially most recently but I always remembered that I was told I would have a “very difficult life” and God would never leave me. Furthermore, for those of you whose “god” is too small: there are prophets among us now, it is a gift of the Spirit. There are miracle workers among us now. For you to deny God’s ability to continue to act in this world is tantamount to heresy. Additionally, throughout my lifetime (since early years) I have “known” that something cataclysmic - something that involves the entire Human race and the world itself - would occur IN MY LIFETIME. I have given this much thought and prayer throughout my life. I am now 65 years old. Do the math.

Prepare. Live every day as it if is your last. Go to reconciliation weekly, receive the Eucharist daily (if you can). Try to see everyone as God sees them: each one is as if s/he is the only one. See Christ in those you dislike, it’s very hard, I know this. Ask for extraordinary grace to forgive those who have hurt you (and some have been seriously harmed by others, even in childhood). Remember that Jesus said on the cross “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” It is so for all who sin, for all who harm: they do not “know what they do”. And most important, as well as most difficult (I struggle with this), trust God. Your life may be a mess, I know mine is; but there is a purpose. He has a purpose. I think that is a huge lesson I received at Lourdes this month: God’s plans are not my own, but in every negative experience there is the grace sufficient to not only defeat it, but allow it to increase faith, hope and charity. Peace.

Well, it seems that this premonition proved not to be true and thanks be to God for that.

Wonderful advice, but a person does not need to receive premonitions of the future to learn this. God Bless.
