IT'S NOT THE DYING, LORD, -- IT'S THE "GOODBYE-ING"

Is he a false prophet, as some claim? Is he the true Pope or is Pope Benedict--who is no longer physically able to "feed the Sheep?" Pope Benedict, led by the Holy Spirit and not by a conspiracy, knew when it was time to step down. At least that is my opinion. But who am I? Not God that is for sure and therefore not the one to judge on this matter!
I do know what happens to those of us who do feel the need to judge and publicly decry this Man of God--our Pope Francis. If he is doing something that God is not happy with---then it will be God who will discipline and lead on right paths for His name sake as promised in Psalm 23.
It is not for us to cry out 'away with him!' If those who think or state the Pope is a false prophet and being led by evil---then hear the Word of the Lord!
Math. 7 v 2 “Stop judging,* that you may not be judged.
2 For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
3 Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?"
If you continue to think, you must publicly warn us of this 'person doing the devil's work,' then who would want you to speak out against the Pope and tear him down. God? They even thought Jesus was doing the devil's work! Didn't they? So does God want you to 'correct your brother in this fashion?"
So, dear sisters and brothers in Christ--let us put down the magnifying glass, get off Facebook, or the screen: get down on our knees and beg God's forgiveness. He sees all we do, hears and knows our thoughts--so do not trip over that log before you. Please and thank you: and forgive me if I have judged you wrongly over your opinions.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
