Jesus said: “My people, when Sarah was barren, Abraham was given the Egyptian slave, Hagar so there could be descendants. Hagar had a son, Ishmael, who was blessed by God. Later, when Sarah had a miraculous birth of Isaac, there was a concern by Sarah that she did not want Ishmael to have any inheritance. She had Abraham exile Hagar and Ishmael. God the Father came to the rescue of Ishmael and He made Ishmael into a great nation of Arabs. Today this is why there is still a struggle over the land of Israel between the Jews and the Arabs. In the Gospel I cast the demons out of the demoniac into the pigs for their number was Legion. The demons drove the pigs off the cliff into the sea, so the townspeople asked Me to leave their area. They did not appreciate My healing of the demoniac at the cost of losing their pigs. This casting out of demons by My power was passed on to My disciples. A few times My disciples had difficulty in casting out more powerful demons. I told them that this kind of demon required prayer and fasting. In all healing and deliverance, you need to have faith in the power of My healing to be successful. Give praise and thanks to Me for giving this gift to My chosen ones.”
Jesus said: “My people, many people watch sports games, or they play in the games themselves. Playing games is good exercise, and watching games is entertaining. A problem comes when you spend too much time playing or watching games, and this becomes an addiction at the expense of other things in your lives, like prayer time. You know how I dislike games played on Sunday morning when people should be coming to Sunday Mass. I have mentioned before to be aware of anything that controls your time, because this could become an addiction. Addictions have demons attached to them, and this is why they are hard to break. You need to guard your prayer time from any earthly distractions or addictions. If you have an addiction, you need to pray your St. Michael long form prayer for deliverance. You can also pray this prayer for others who may be addicted to drugs, alcohol, or even sports. Your time is a precious gift, and you need to use it wisely so you are making the best use of it, especially for praying for people. Keep close to Me in your prayers, so you can evangelize souls for Me.”
