Confession
Those of us who know the truth of God’s food, that of Sacrament of Confession, cannot help but cry out to Him “Thank You!”
While it is true that in making a perfect act of contrition (having a sorrow for our sins which springs from a perfect love of God) God forgives us right then and there with His precious Blood covering our sins, this is only so long as we, who have all the Foods of God, have the intention of confessing our sins when we next go to Confession.
Knowing and having the truth about God’s food for the soul which is His Sacrament of Confession is a great privilege. The sacrament of Penance is an outward sign instituted By Christ to give us grace. This grace from God does help us not to commit our confessed sins again.
By positive precept we, who know the truth in Christ, are forbidden to receive Holy Communion until we have confessed our mortal sins in the Sacrament of grace which is called Confession or Penance. This we must do in the divine light which is God’s will.
In St. John’s first letter he makes a distinction between mortal sins that kill the life of grace in our souls and those sins that do not kill the life of grace in our souls. (1 John 5:16-17) Deadly sin is mortal sin.
The Sacrament of Confession is God’s doing and not man’s doing.(Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18; John 20:23; James 5:16; James 5:19-20; Isaiah 22:22; 1 John:6-10; 1 John 2:1-2)
The power to forgive sin which Jesus conferred upon His Apostles on Resurrection Sunday night was not to die with them; no more than the power to change bread and wine into His Body and Blood which Jesus conferred upon His Apostles at the Last Supper. Yet Christendom is divided over both these Foods of God and much more.
The telling of one’s sins in order to obtain forgiveness is as old as the Church. It started with Christ’s instructions to His Apostles. One cannot deny this without denying Christ, the Word of God, and history.
Jesus knew well that many of us would forget our brave baptismal promises and commit grave sins after our Baptism. He knew that many of us would lose the grace which is the sharing in God’s own life which came to us in Baptism. Since God’s mercy is infinite and un-wearying, it seems inevitable that He would provide a second chance, and a third, and a fourth, and a thousandth, if necessary, for those of us who might relapse into sin.
The Lord God has made it clear to me that it is His will that all His nourishing Foods for the soul and for the body be restored to all His Christians. And so, I do as God asks and I point to His will in all that pertains to what is the restoration of the Lord.
I have written men of God about this. But if any of them recognized what is truly from God that was given to them I have yet to see proof of it.
Having said this, let it be known that you men of God who have deliberately refused to pay attention to God’s will for His restoration, and let it be known to those of you men of God who also will refuse to surrender to the manifest designs of God for all His people in this the last hour of the last days: You come against God in the hour of His restoration!
Take heed all men of God: It is your own fault if you allow yourselves to be duped by Satan into a restoration that is man’s or the Devil’s over God’s.
Furthermore, many of you men of God take actions which are against God while at the same time sustaining false doctrines such as that which says “once saved always saved” which has many Christians souls lost to Satan. Because of you much of Christendom thinks they can gravely sin and remain saved in Christ.
Cursed are you men of God who dictate to God what should be!
How many of you men of God, upon hearing God’s will which I speak of, will go on with God and His restoration over that of certain men of God and their pretend to God restoration remains to be seen. I ask all of Heaven to join me in praying for you.
Blessed are you men of God who do other than so many other men of God who find fault with what God wants and who instead submit to God in this matter and in all things which are God’s will.
When we repent from our sin, firmly resolving not to commit it again, we prove our acceptance of God’s grace.” The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all men. It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires, and live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age as we await our blessed hope,…” ( Titus 2:11-13)
God will have us always knowing whose child we really are. He does this so that in the end we come before Him truly of His stock.
God helps us with His grace. Confession is more that receiving God’s forgiveness in the manner of His choosing. It is to be absolved of our sins and to receive His grace not to commit our sins again.
When you come against God and His restoration you go far wide of the truth and lead others from what is of God’s firm foundation. (2 Timothy2:18) “The lord knows who are his; and’, Let everyone who professes the name of the Lord abandon evil.” ( 2 Timothy 2:19)Do what God wants and not what you or another man wants.( Romans 1:5). We are called to imitate Jesus’ complete obedience to the Father.
Discern, for you must discern. But do so with God and not with the counterfeit spirit. Discern and do not draw back from God as He wills that His Food which is His nourishment of Confession be restored to all His people. Go on with God. Do not go against Him.
Even under the Old Covenant, God used priests to forgive and atone for the sins of others. Leviticus 5:4-6, Leviticus 19: 21-22.
Read James 5:16 and know that in the New Covenant it is clearly taught that we are to confess our sins to one another and not just privately to God.
Woe to you men of God who wickedly go on to forbid any of the foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by believers who know the truth! ( 1 Timothy 4:1-5)
Confession is divinely instituted. Confession is a Sacrament of God. It is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. It is a visible sign of invisible grace instituted for our sanctification. Christ made use of visible signs to bestow supernatural grace for many reasons. He always adapted His methods to our nature. We are made of body and soul and so we have to rely on our senses to help us form our ideas. We understand a thing much better if our senses grasp it. In the case of forgives and absolution to restore what was lost, God demands that something sensible be used-the Holy Sacrament of Confession.
Another reason why Christ instituted His Sacraments( His visible signs as a means of conferring grace) was to give us an opportunity to check our pride and practice humility. It takes humility for a human being to submit himself or herself to these inanimate signs in order to receive grace- to confess to a Priest in the Confessional.
By receiving the Sacrament of Confession or any of Christ’s Sacraments we are practicing the great and very necessary virtues of faith and humility.
The soul, being immortal, can never lose its natural spiritual life, but it can lose its supernatural life, the life of sanctifying grace. Baptism, then, because it first gives this divine life to the soul, and Confession, because it restores the precious gift when it has been lost by serious sin, are called the sacraments of the dead.
These sacraments were ordained by Christ to give supernatural life or sanctifying grace to the soul. The other five sacraments of Christ are called the sacraments of the living, because to receive them fruitfully the soul must be living supernaturally. In other words, it must already be in possession of sanctifying grace.
The sacraments of the living do not confer the state of sanctifying grace, for the grace is already present in the soul. They increase it.
May all of you who are my brothers and sisters in Christ come to understand the importance of the two sacraments of the dead and their relationship to the sacraments of the living. May you come to know how it is that God wants all His people , both Protestant and Catholic, restored to His Holy Sacraments in this last hour of the last days.
May the truth become clear to you about what is going on about Confession and God’s other Sacraments, for so very many in both camps now, Catholic as well as Protestant, just don’t get it.
So very many who are God’s people have a warped idea of God’s way of salvation.
So very many who are God’s people have turned away from the true faith and are heeding deceitful spirits and very believable men of God who are speaking lies, as they are in league with demons who are posing as God. They are doing so, whether they recognize this to be the case or not. May they come to repent of it. See again: ( 1 Timothy 4:1-5) Let it sink in. There is the great apostasy.
Let no one reject God’s truth of His Sacrament of Confession once they have heard it in such a way as to accept it. Nor let anyone reject God’s truth concerning any of the other six Foods of God which are His cleansing, His strengthening, and His nourishing.
Let no one make excuses for not learning and accepting God’s will for all His people concerning His sacrement of Confession and concerning all His sacraments.
As one excuse you might say to yourself” I cannot trust all priests.” The priest may be on his way to hell who might hear your Confession, but God will not cheat you. I say this because many priests are on their way to hell and the Devil would like nothing better than to do away with His people conforming to God’s will in this matter and others because of it.
There is the great apostasy from God. There is also God’s rebuke. There is God’s call to His refining and purifying in the time of the great apostasy being in full bloom. ( Malachi 3: 1-10)
But who even believes that God has messengers?
Blessed are you who are with the Lord and His restoration.
Blessed are you who are not bent on what is false to God.
Blessed are you who come to know of the wandering off to fables and the rebellious crowd of God’s people, and who seek to be with God and who go on with God to help as many trapped in the great plan of Satan as possible.( 2 Timothy 4 :3-5)
The times are real and upon us.
Christ is my all, Your brother, Eddie
