SPIRITUAL REALM

In recent days I have seen and heard of several encounters with the spiritual realm.  Yes, I do believe there is such a thing, both the good and the bad.

I have seen and heard of from trusted sources of people battling demons. We all have the demons of hurt and pain, but some actually have demons of the spiritual realm lying to them about their value and convincing them to do things they otherwise wouldn't do.  Some may say they're just crazy, but those I have known were brilliant spiritual people.

Most of all, I have encountered and heard of the good spirits.  Those that have passed, guardian angels, and the saints, Mary, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.  I will only speak to those that I have experienced though just yesterday afternoon I spent hours talking with others about theirs.

Throughout my life I have experienced evidence of the spiritual.  The farthest back I can remember was when I was about 9 years and was asked to what saint did I pray.  I said I prayed straight to Jesus.  I was astonished at the clarity I had and didn't know from where that confidence that resounded in my answer came.

I have been sent messages in various ways from loved ones passed, mostly from my Godson who died at 28 years old.  He has sent signs to let me know that he is okay and is with me.  I recently experience the very strong presence of my mother.  I've had signals from a friend that her spirit is free.

Many times as I grew up, I had visions of a young girl of about 12 years old.  She had long dark hair, dark complexion, and dressed in a white gown.  I had always said that if I knew how to draw, I would be able to draw her face, it was that clear to me.  I even asked my mom who was dark complected if someone in the family had passed at a young age.  She not recall any.

A couple of years ago, a friend visited the relic of Saint Maria Goretti.  She brought me a prayer card with Maria's picture on it.  I froze and said, "It's her!"  My friend said, "What do you mean?".  I told her the story and that the young girl on the card was indeed the girl I had been seeing all my life dressed exactly how I saw her.  Maria is the patron saint of sexually abused children.  I was abused at the age of 6.  She's been with me ever since and I continue to have visions of her.

I have had many encounters with the Holy Spirit.  In fact, I encounter Him every day.  He takes over when I am freaked out when I have to speak in front of others, He has spoken very clearly to my mind giving me direction, He has moved in me to spur me on to action to serve God and others.  He is the breath in me and responsible for any of the gifts I have and any of the good in me.  He and His angels are with me protecting me and guiding me  on my journey helping me to be victorious in the battle of the good versus the bad.

You are not alone.  God is with you, calling you to Him.  Come Holy Spirit and fill all with the awareness of Your presence and Your love.  Jesus, Savior of the World, provide all that they need to understand Your great love!  Amen!  Alleluia!  HE IS WITH US!
