Directive from Heaven #778 – The Battle Rages, Part 1 - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#778 – The Battle Rages, Part 1

“Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.” – 1 Peter 5: 8-9

“THE BATTLE NOW RAGES”
"Man has relinquished his knowledge, knowledge of his God, to the extent now that sin has become a way of life. We hear cries from the torn hearts of mothers coming forward to Us: Why, they say, why are we now, our hearts torn asunder? It is because, My children, sin is insanity! Sin is produced by the corrupter of mankind, the prince of darkness, satan, the despoiler of souls.
"My children, My voice has carried for years throughout your world of earth warning you of the coming of these times, the times of 666, the great forces of evil that would gather to do battle with the children of God upon earth. The battle now rages, My children. It rages in your government. It rages in the home. Your children are now victims of their elders.
"O My children, do you not recognize that the evil is accelerating in your country and the countries of the world? Murders have become commonplace. There is no realization in the clouded minds of sinful men that murder is an abomination in the eyes of his God. Murder in all forms is being committed and shall not go unpunished.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1977

“THE BATTLE RAGES IN ROME”
"The armies of hell are gathering. They enter wherever darkness of spirit prevails. My children, 666, satan and his agents from hell, now have control in every country of the earth! And sad to say, now the battle rages in Rome, the Eternal City.
"Your Holy Father, Our child of suffering, Pope Paul VI, is approaching the end of his reign upon earth. How many shall be held responsible for the anguish which tore his heart? How many of you cardinals and bishops have disobeyed him in your arrogance and love of worldly pursuits and pleasure and power? The Eternal Father has looked into your hearts and found many of you wanting.
"Shall you stand, O Red Hats and Purple Hats, before My Son and say that your teaching has been pure in His sight? I say unto you: you cannot cover your sin. My Son looks into your heart, and you, too, who have received glory in your vocation upon earth--you, too, without merit, shall be cast into the abyss of hell. Woe to the teachers who have gone forward with itching ears, implementing, experimenting with My Son's doctrines and teachings, casting aside all tradition for a modern way. And this way is from satan!” – Our Lady, May 20, 1978

BATTLE RAGES WITH GREAT FURY
"The battle rages with great fury, the battle for the human soul. Satan has captured many, and has set them to bring others into the abyss. The abominations being committed in the hearts and the minds of the human race will not be tolerated much longer by the Father. My Son is being recrucified by those whom He sought to recover for the Father.
"The enemies of your Father--the Father of all creation, Who will sit in judgment soon upon mankind, He is greatly offended by the manner in which the great Sacrifice is being performed. The Father sent My Son to you as a great Sacrifice to open the doors of Heaven to a sinful generation. However, this fact has been cast aside and replaced by a scientific knowledge that has come from satan. Man in his arrogance casts aside the truth and the light, going farther into the darkness.” – Our Lady, June 8, 1974

MANY WILL FALL IN THE BATTLE
"Your children must be taught at home, given a firm foundation of the truth, the knowledge of their Faith. You must instill in their hearts the love of God before the love of any man. You must instill in their hearts the knowledge that they must work now to achieve their redemption and salvation by the plan of the Eternal Father, as written and espoused through many prophets through countless earth-years of time: written in the Bible, your Book of life and love.
"My children, as a Mother, My heart is torn for you. O mothers who come to Me, hearts bleeding in sorrow, I will comfort you, for I, too, know the suffering of loss. Come to Me, all you who sorrow and weep for your children, for I will place My mantle of love and comfort upon you. Come to Me, and I will lighten your burden.
"You must understand, My children of the world: you cannot cast aside the protection of the sacramentals given to you. All your armor must be used now, for Lucifer is gathering his armies for another onslaught far worse upon mankind. The plan is not unknown; the Eternal Father will turn all evil to good. However, the battle that rages, you will find that many will fall; and sadly, the souls have been falling into hell, counted as numerous as the snowflakes that will soon fall upon your earth.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1979

WAR OF THE SPIRITS
"I have come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man to guide you in the days ahead, My children. Do not discard your sacramentals. Gather all of the graces you are able to in the limited time given you. These graces shall be stored in Heaven; they will be merits for your entrance into the Kingdom of the Eternal Father.
    "My children, know now that the battle rages upon earth. It is a war of the spirits between good and evil. The final battle shall bring about the complete separation of the sheep from the goats. By trial shall all that is rotten fall, and the just will become justified.
    "My children, keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world. Nation for nation, city by city, town by town, My beads of prayer must be fingered. And I ask of you all to not just render unto your God lip service and words of the tongue, but open up your heart to Him. The Eternal Father cries for your penance now, or you shall receive the Ball of Redemption. The Eternal Father looks into the heart of mankind. Nothing is hidden to Him.
    "My children, you must all now make your home a fortress against the battle of evil that rages outside your door. Your children must be given a basic and firm foundation in knowledge of their Faith. Do not expect them to receive this from others. You, as parents, hold the major responsibility now for the teaching and rearing of your children by a godly manner!” – Our Lady, May 28, 1977

MANY MITRES WILL FALL INTO HELL
"This scene, this diabolical quandary, My child, is spreading throughout your world. Blood shall flow in the streets of all nations. The red flag shall rise over many convents and the houses of My Son. All that is rotten will fall! A House in darkness wears a band of death about it. A Church in darkness, My child, wears a band of death about it. Pray for your clergy, for many mitres will fall into hell.
    "Yes, My child, many mitres will fall into hell because too few pray for them. Their graces must also be merited, My child. Man finds his destiny with his own free will.
    "You ask for a miracle, My child? My Son performed many miracles in His lifetime upon earth. Many turned from Him, many denied Him in the face of these miracles.
    "The Father, the Eternal Father, My child, is in full control of the world. Satan rages throughout your world but for a short duration.
    "Guide My sheep, My clergy; guide them in the time left to you. Return them to the fold; they are straying.” – Our Lady, April 5, 1975

“THE WAR RAGES NOW IN FULL BATTLE”
"Man is walking the ladder down to his own destruction. Tears and blood will mix upon earth, washing your earth clean, cleansing it of the abominations to the Sacred Heart of My Son.
"Man upon earth has chosen to give the creation of the Father to satan. The abyss is open; the war rages now in full battle. The ultimate victory will be with the Father. We watch, We wait, and We separate the sheep.” – Our Lady, February 1, 1973

“OPEN THE BOOK OF LIFE AND READ”
"As this battle progresses, number five will enter from the abyss. The corruption will increase until man will wish he would be removed from the earth. He will beg for mercy. Yes, death of the body would be preferable to existence upon this world that has been given to satan.
    "There will be small lights in the world, candles lit to hold back the darkness.
    "My Mother has been sent to you as a Mediatrix between the Father and man. She has placed Herself in sacrifice for lost souls.
    "I have watched as you have degraded Her, and you have sought with the agents of hell to destroy Her. You will know now that My Mother will crush the prince of darkness, and he will lie before Her, chained by Michael and cast into the pit. He rages now upon your world, knowing that his time grows short.
    "Recognize, My children, the signs of the times. Open the Book of life and read what John has left you. We instructed him well in the mysteries that will unfold through many seers in many places throughout your earth. If you seek, you will find the answer. Those in grace will understand the meanings of the wordings of John." – Jesus, March 24, 1973

“THE TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS IN ROME”
"The true Church of Jesus in Rome is being attacked by the forces of 666. It is a world-wide involvement that cannot be fully described at this time. It is a diabolical involvement that will be made fully known with the Second Coming of Jesus.
"The battle rages now, and all who have given themselves to the world will not understand, for they are of the world. And many now have adopted and accepted a new father--not the Eternal Father in Heaven, but the father of all liars, satan. All who do not recognize Jesus as the Christ is the Antichrist. Learn by this!
"The clergy who have given themselves over to errors and are misled, and some of great determination to destroy My Son's Church--why? Because they have lost the Faith. Pray, pray much for your clergy, My children. Without your prayers, many mitres shall fall into hell.” – Our Lady, April 17, 1976

“THE BATTLE RAGES WITH SATAN”
"You must double your efforts, My child, to reach the souls in the short time left for their repatriation. The forces of evil are loosed upon your country and the world. The evil powers will set about to gain full control now of My Son's House and your country. Many lands throughout your world have already fallen to the enemies of God.
    "When man learns through trial to desire not the wealth of this world and the pleasures of the body, he will find that he will be given a true peace.
    "Worldly pleasures are evident in the actions of many this terrible night. Satan will claim countless souls as he leads them into his way of perdition.
    "You are now living in the difficult times. The battle rages with satan. It is the battle of the spirits. This war of the spirits will continue unto the Coming of My Son. I am truly the Mother of Sorrows." – Our Lady, December 31, 1973

“THE WAR RAGES FARTHER AND FARTHER”
"We have great dependence on all disciples chosen in these latter days by the Eternal Father. None of you who have accepted this mission have come by accident, for you have been chosen from the multitudes. I have gathered Our children from coast to coast, from land to land, and as the war rages farther and farther and accelerates in evil, you will understand that there is an immense army from Heaven now upon earth. We have a desperate need for true and loyal disciples. The Message from Heaven must reach every corner of the earth before the end of the era.
"My children, you must make it known that there is life after death. You must find a means to write off the word called death, for it is inappropriate when given in mentioning your going over the veil. There is no death but the death of a fallen soul who is lost forever.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1979

“THE FIGHT NOW RAGES UPON EARTH”
"Understand, My children, you must not question but accept in belief. You understand, My children, if you set yourself to question, you are advancing on the same path as Lucifer when he, too, questioned the Eternal Father, and he lost Heaven forever. He was placed upon earth, and the Eternal Father sent an army of souls to defeat him.
"The fight now rages upon earth, My children. I and My Son and all the forces of Heaven now gather to do battle with the prince of darkness. This, My child, is what will be: In darkness will they seek the way? This, My child, is what will be: In darkness will they seek the way?
"My children, prayer is now the strongest fortress you have now in your homes against the evil. Your children are the major victims now of 666.” – Our Lady, October 1, 1977

THE TIME OF ARMAGEDDON
"In the struggle to retain My Son's Church, His House upon earth, it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in your midst!
    "As in the past, My children, man goes on his way as he was, never learning from his history.
    "As in the past, My children, I have wandered your earth choosing among you voice-boxes to use as instruments for Heaven.
    "Now, My children, a great war rages against the forces of evil. It is a war that is far greater than any human nature war experienced by mankind, for you are now in the latter days. It is a war of the spirits, the fight between the good and the evil, the time of Armageddon!” – Our Lady, December 24, 1976

“THE BATTLE OF THE SPIRITS RAGES”
"My Mother will continue to guide you in the days ahead. My Mother, through the merciful plan of the Eternal Father, is your Mother, and as such, She will lead you through the darkness of the days ahead.
"Keep your sacramentals about you. Retain the Faith in your homes. The candles are few now, but they are lighting throughout the world, My children.
"The battle of the spirits rages and the evil is accelerating. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer throughout your nation and the world. I will send and gather among you voice-boxes, guides, and I will send to you the archangels to guide you in your days of trial, error, and sorrow." – Jesus, December 28, 1976

“EVENTUAL VICTORY SHALL BE WITH HEAVEN”
"My children and My child, listen well to My Mother's counsel and act upon it. The forces of evil are gathered now to do great battle with the children of God.
"My children, I only add this one part to the counsel of My Mother: that you become aware of the existence of the supernatural upon earth. There are forces now loosed upon earth, unseen to your human eyes, unless it be deemed by Heaven that you must see beyond the veil or see the supernatural for the propagation of the work and the Mission from Heaven. However, man must realize now that the world is in deep darkness of spirit and a battle rages with mankind. The forces of hell now prevail against man and My Church. However, the eventual victory shall be with Heaven.” – Jesus, December 31, 1977

FAITHFUL AND TRUE
“Please, My child, work fast and quickly. Do not slacken in the pace. Send the Message from Heaven throughout the world. The children of the light must all be enlightened.
“The medias now have taken up the call to arms for Heaven. There are many armies rising throughout your earth, My child and My children. You are not alone. Unite under a banner of Faithful and True to the Eternal Father in Heaven.” - Our Lady, September 28, 1977

PERSEVERE IN THE DAYS AHEAD
"Do you not recognize, My children, the signs of your times? No! You fail to recognize these signs, because you no longer recognize the Book of life as a guide for you. The Revelations have been cast aside and replaced by myths and the illogical reasoning of mankind. 'Scientific reasoning,' they have called it, My child. But no, it is the deception and darkness of satan.
"My child, you are not alone in the battle ahead. The Father has allowed Me the time to gather many little armies throughout the world. Their banners are known to all who proceed in the light. Their banners will be rejected by all who proceed in the darkness.
"I have told you, My child, many times, that your road will be filled with thorns. All who seek to stand and defend My Son shall receive these thorns. But how pleasurable and how magnificent will be the reward for all those who persevere in the days ahead!" - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

"WE HAVE NOT ABANDONED YOU"
"I repeat: rank has no place with the spirit. Many mitres are on now the road to hell. Reject your Faith for worldly gain and power and you reject your God. If you surrender My Church to the enemies of your God, you surrender your soul to satan and eternal damnation.
"The Red Hat has fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! You have set upon you a trial. The time of great sorrows is upon mankind. You shall go through steadily a cataclysm and a crucible of suffering. All who are of well spirit will go through this trial with much perseverance and purpose.
"Remember, all who are of well spirit will understand and prepare for the days ahead by following the directions given in the past by My Mother. We have not abandoned you to yourselves, for We support you under the mantle of My Mother, and over My Sacred Heart I place the drops of My blood. I shed this blood anew. I am, as your Savior, recrucified by My own." - Jesus, April 10, 1976

THIS FINAL BATTLE
"You must realize now that the trouble within My Son's House has been caused by defiled man of perdition--the Antichrist, who has been loosed among you in this final battle.
"If you would put aside your worldly pleasures, your pampering of your body, your eyes would no longer be blinded. You could see the existence of the evil one in your country. But no, you have chosen to cast Us aside for temporary pleasures." - Our Lady, April 3, 1971

BE CHAMPIONS FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
"My children, We do not send upon you unjust punishments or chastisements. They are given only to bring you back to Us. All who remain in the light and close to Us will have no fear of the days ahead.
    "You will carry the banner for Our Vicar. He has accepted his mission upon earth. He will enter into the Kingdom in glorious triumph. The prayers of atonement and the sacrifice for the repatriation of souls must continue unto the days of the final battle.
    "Be champions, My children, for the Kingdom, for the glories of the Kingdom far surpass the temporal pleasures of your world.
    "I bless you, My children, and I diffuse among you the graces for conversion and cure. Keep the sacramentals that have been given to you through the ages of your world's time. They have been given for reason. Do not cast them aside, for when you do thus you will cast aside your protection against satan and his agents who are loose now in full battle upon earth." - Jesus, February 10, 1973
