Worshippers Flock To Holy Trinity Church In Chicago To Bow Down And Pray Before An Icon Of The Virgin Mary That Started Weeping Oil Like Substance

Some worshipers see a sign from God after a caretaker at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago saw what looked like tears pouring from the Virgin Mary’s eyes.

The Orthodox Church split off the Roman Catholic Church a little more than a thousand years ago, and while they hold many beliefs in common with the Romans, they do not consider themselves to be Catholics. That said, they do do a lot of Catholic things like praying to ‘manifestations of the Virgin Mary’ as you will see in today’s article on what’s happening now in Chicago.

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?” Jeremiah 7:18,19 (KJV)

I was saved out of the Roman Catholic religion back in 1991, and it took me many years to sort out and sort through all the superstition and paganism that I had acquired in my nearly 30 years as a faithful Roman Catholic. Things like cursing myself on a daily basis by making the ‘sign of the cross’ over my face, seeking guidance from the dead saints which the Bible calls necromancy, and a whole host of other uniquely Catholic things that are nothing but raw paganism.

“Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” Mark 6:3 (KJV)

What makes an idol begin to shed tears? Well, the Bible says that God hates idols right there in the Ten Commandments and in another hundred or so places. When the Jews were backslidden and far from the Lord, they always went to the groves and bowed before idols. Mary was only a virgin for her first child, Jesus, but for the other 6 children we read about in Mark 6:3 she obviously did not remain a virgin. Do I believe that this icon of Mary in Chicago is actually shedding ‘tears”? Yep, I sure do. Tears that are coming straight from the pit of Hell.

POPE FRANCIS DECLARES THAT MAY IS THE ‘MONTH OF MARY’, COMMANDS ALL CATHOLICS EVERYWHERE TO ‘ENTRUST THEMSELVES’ TO HER FOR PROTECTION

FROM ABC 13 CHICAGO: The caretaker noticed the shocking sight early Sunday morning, as she prepared for what could be one of the church’s final services. The church faces foreclosure and is due to go to bankruptcy court Tuesday morning. The community was in shock at the weeping icon.

“There’s something she’s trying to tell us, so we’re just going to seal our lips and listen to what she has to say,” said Father Nick Jonas. Monday the residue of the oil-like substance streaming from the Virgin Mary’s eyes remained, with many believing the oil has healing properties and that its origins are a blessing from God.

“I can’t explain why she is tearing, but I do know as human beings we are usually crying for two reasons: either joy or sorrow,” Fr. Jonas said. A steady stream of visitors have been visiting the icon as well; about 300 people Sunday, according to the secretary of the church, and even more Monday. A nun from California traveled across the country to see the weeping icon in person as well.

“It’s the type of thing you never forget and I always will be inspired by it,” said Mother Angelina.

For the last year, the church has been fighting to remain at the corner of West Diversey Avenue and North Meade Avenue in the city’s Belmont Central neighborhood. Holy Trinity avoided foreclosure late last year after a generous anonymous donation, but an issue with the money arose and forced the church to go up for sale again.

“Some people have come up to me and said, ‘We’ll mortgage our homes,'” said Stanley Andreakis, president of Parish Council. READ MORE

‘Maria’s Hope’ Vegetable Garden At The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya Is Nearly Ready For Seeds And Seedlings As Workers Install Fencing

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The work on the ‘Maria’s Hope’ vegetable garden at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya has been going on every day this week with wonderful progress

This week, the acre-wide property at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kisii, Kenya has seen a flurry of activity as volunteers first cleared the land and removed the brush, cut down trees to uses for fence posts, and then strun barbed wire all around it to keep curious animals out. The only thing left to do is to plant the seeds and seedlings which is scheduled for tomorrow. NTEB is answering the “Macedonian call” by helping them through Operation Africa!, and it’s been a blessing for the giver as well as the reciever. When complete, it will feed all the 84 orphans while supplying a work-based revenue stream when they sell the overflow produce at market. We are not just giving them a fish, we are giving them the abiity to become fishermen themselves.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

When we first recieved the request for Bibles 4 months ago, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that this is what it would become. But God sure did. All He required from us was to show up and be faithful, and He’s been doing the rest. Supplying them first with Bibles, then medicine to treat malaria and typhoid, getting them a well and tank for clean water, mattresses and blankets, emergency food rations, and now ‘Maria’s Hope’ vegetable garden. This is the complete package.

With your help, I would love to be able to provide them with a cow, a goat and a couple of dozen chickens to go with all the vegetables we are helping them to plant. This is not a hand out, this is a massive help up, something that will provide for them until the Lord comes. We need to raise around $10,000 for all of it. Come help us to do it!!  

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with bibles, medicine, food and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age.

Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: November 22, 1963, Is The Moment When The Deep State Officially Took Control Of America By Taking Out The President

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

From JFK To Donald Trump: Six Decades Of Government Secrecy, Warrantless Surveillance, Undeclared Wars And The Rise Of The American Deep State

The American Deep State was institutionally created by the National Security Act of 1947, but it came of age in Dallas on November 22, 1963. President John F. Kennedy was murdered in broad daylight, Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office beside a bloodstained Jackie Kennedy, and the government quickly erected an official narrative that would be protected by secrecy for generations. The photograph of a smiling Johnson turning toward a winking Albert Thomas remains the chilling image of that transfer of power. The old president suspiciously dead, the excited new president smiling from ear to ear, and the machinery of permanent government moving forward without missing a beat.

“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?” Isaiah 29:15 (KJB)

What followed was not theory but history: COINTELPRO, MKULTRA, Operation CHAOS, the Gulf of Tonkin deception, Vietnam, Watergate, CIA coups, Iran-Contra, government torture, fabricated certainty about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the Patriot Act and warrantless surveillance of the American people. Presidents changed, parties traded power and congressional hearings occasionally exposed crimes after the damage was done, but the intelligence agencies, military establishment, secret courts, federal law-enforcement apparatus and private defense contractors continued growing. The Deep State is the permanent system beneath the visible government—a machine that survives every election, protects its own secrets and hands every incoming president powers the Constitution never intended him to possess. But those powers come at a very steep price. From Dallas to Vietnam, from Watergate to Iran-Contra, from 9/11 and Iraq to warrantless surveillance, Butler PA and Trump’s expanding wars, the architecture remains firmly standing. Presidents change, slogans change and political parties change, but since November 22, 1963, the machine has never stopped running. On this edition of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you what the Deep State really is, and why we only have one true political party.

Operation Africa! Launches ‘Maria’s Hope’ In Kenya To Help Build A Self-Sustaining Vegetable Garden For The Children Of The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kisii

Maria’s Hope Takes Root In Kenya As Operation Africa! Helps Orphans Build A Sustainable Source Of Food For Their Future

Maria’s Hope is exactly what Operation Africa! was created to do, take the love of Jesus Christ and put it into the hands of people who desperately need to see it working. At the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, these young people are not standing around waiting for another shipment of food to arrive. They are clearing the ground, breaking up the soil, pulling roots, swinging hoes and preparing a garden that, Lord willing, will continue producing long after the first seeds are planted. This is not simply feeding hungry children for one day; this is helping them build a renewable source of food that can keep feeding them tomorrow, next month and next year. Maria’s Hope is about turning a piece of Kenyan soil into provision, stability and opportunity. Come help us complete this live-saving mission of hope.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 (KJB)

The garden will include seeds and plantings for cabbage, spinach, kale, carrots, managu, sagaa, and of course, lots and lots of fertilizer. As you can see in this video, the work of preparing the ground began in earnest this morning. But Maria’s Hope will be more than just produce. Lord willing, and just like we did for Irad in Uganda, we need to get them a cow, a goat and maybe some chickens as well. The beautiful little girl you see in the photo at the top of this article is Maria, and we are naming this garden project in her honor. She is one of 15 orphans at Glory Fellowship who have HIV/AIDS, along with a total of 84 orphans that live at the residence. They need this more than you could possibly imagine.

And this is why Maria’s Hope may become one of the most meaningful projects we have undertaken through Operation Africa! We are not simply sending something that will eventually run out. We are helping create something that can grow. Seeds become plants, plants become food, food becomes strength, and strength allows children to learn, work, worship and build a future. And all of it begins with a patch of red African soil, willing hands, generous NTEB listeners and readers, and a desire to put the gospel of Jesus Christ into action. This is missions work you can see, this is faith you can put your hands on. This is Maria’s Hope. We will need to raise between $5,000-10,000 to bring this garden to completion all told, and when it’s done, it will be there as long as the orphanage survives. Come help us!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with bibles, medicine, food and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
