"When you pray, pray first for the Holy Spirit because when you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything."        - Medjugorje April 4, 1985

"You have forgotten that through prayer and fasting you can avert wars and suspend the laws of nature."       - Medjugorje Dec. 2, 1982

We hope you had a wonderful Easter Sunday or Resurrection Sunday as some of our protestant brothers prefer to call our great feast of Jesus’ victory.

This is one of the two periods of the year we do not fast (the other being the octave following Christmas) as we celebrate this special time with Jesus. So we hope you thoroughly enjoy lots of feasting this week and wonderful moments with those you love as the Easter season continues.

Thank you to Kathy from Texas who sent us the link below that we thought you may enjoy. It is an interview with Mirjana Soldo, one of the people from Medjugorje who claims to see into Heaven and converse with the mother of Jesus. It is a ridiculous claim, almost impossible – but tens of millions of conversions later, how can those who claim to love Jesus not consider what is going on in this small town? The reality is that if this is truly from Heaven, most ardent Christians need to adjust their path because the granularity these messages speak with is incremental to almost all. As our protestant brothers are inclined to say this is too much focus on Mary, know that after the 20-minute mark, Mirjana cites Mary’s hierarchy of importance. Mary states that love of the Trinity is first and foremost and she even lists the blessings from priests as more important than any good that could come from her presence. In the interview Mirjana further recants Mary’s guidance to her that if there was ever a doubt as to needing to choose between allocating time to Jesus in the Eucharist vs seeing into heaven and conversing with its Queen, that we all should always choose to focus on and share the time with Jesus. She emphasizes the need to pray for conversions and Mirjana describes the intense suffering in Mary’s face when Mary alludes to this. Mirjana interprets the pain on Mary’s face as Mary knowing the pains of hell that await so many of her spiritual children in light of John 19:26 and Jesus’ command to Mary from the cross.

On Monday, the most widely studied New Testament passage on the planet was from Acts 2:22 when Peter says:

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst…”

Peter did not say Jesus conquered the intellectual arguments of the pharisees.

Peter said amidst the conflicting views of religious scholars all of whom think they are correct, recognize it was the wonders and signs of Jesus that were the real revelation of His identity. We encourage newcomers to the Medjugorje phenomena to simply pause and consider the signs and wonders of Medjugorje. What else have you seen like this in our lifetimes and what else can you point to that has ignited so many conversions to Jesus?

Enjoy the Easter Octave.

Medjugorje Interview, March 2024

Why We Fast – Our Core Fasting Intentions

1) We add the new fasting intention of taking back the church from evil. We submit the three-step process to achieve this victory is 1-Repent, 2-Prayer & Fasting and, 3-Imitate our Savior by throwing the evil leadership from the church. We will seek to emulate the Savior in our effort to End The USCCB, an organization that has been devastating to the church.  (“You shall know the spirit by the fruits” - Matt. 7:16)

2) For the Holy Spirit to reign down upon America, renewing our land as the Christian, capitalist meritocracy we were founded to be.

3) For the protection of our police, firefighters, military and their families from harm and that the Lord bless their courageous generosity on our behalf.

4) For the protection of the families who fast with us, and for God’s blessings of abundance upon them and that true to His word, we will be able to witness that He prospered us in famine.

Would you like to learn more about fasting?

We maintain a repository of ideas and information we have learned over the last decade while fasting weekly for America. From scientific studies on the benefits of fasting, to the differences between intermittent dieting vs intermittent fasting, to scriptural references regarding the power of fasting to the history of first century Christians who stated believers are obligated to fast weekly, we hope you will find numerous insights with our free resource located here.

Together let us also implore Heaven while fasting for intentions you have highlighted:

4) For all patriots who put themselves on the front lines in combatting evil and for all of the warriors who are stepping up around the nation to fight for the gospel – May The Father cover them in the blood of our savior,  protect them and their families from evil and bring victory to their endeavors.

5) For priests, ministers and all who aspire to lead others to the Lord, that the Holy Spirit will reign down upon them as at Pentecost filling them to overflowing. 

6) For the Americans jailed after January 6th who were admitted to the Capitol building by the police, and who were not found to have destroyed any property at the capitol yet who have been held captive ever since on our own soil - That God's Spirit will move quickly to bring justice back to this land and free them.
