DIVINE REVELATIONS / Part Two of Four
by Raymond Warren Bennett on 07/17/13
In my research, I found it written: God has often revealed Himself to men through means beyond the ordinary course of nature. This is supernatural, or Divine Revelation, as opposed to the natural revelation of Himself, that God makes in the external world. Some revealed truths are beyond the power of human understanding; we could never, by our own abilities, have known such truths if God had not revealed them to us. For instance, could we by ourselves have known about the Blessed Holy Trinity, had God not revealed it? In Catholicism, Divine Revelation is emphasized as the primary means by which the faithful come to know God's word. According to Catholicism, Divine Revelation is the original source of Catholic Doctrine - - it is the disclosure, unveiling, and a making known of God by God Himself. God may see fit to employ supernatural means to affirm His truths, the discovery of which is not per se beyond the powers of reason. The essence of Divine Revelation lies in the fact that it is the direct speech of God to man. The mode of communication, however, may be mediate. Divine Revelation does not cease to be such if God's message is delivered to us by a prophet, who alone is the recipient of immediate communication . . . divine communication that he or she is destine to share with the world.
As revealed in the published account of my incredible story, "Heavenly Comfort", and reiterated in Part One of this Four Part blog posting, when as a child, I was taken up to Heaven where the Blessed Mother declared that the Lord, had preselected me to become The New Prophet and The Key to World Peace. I was then given Twelve Divine Messages to be delivered to the world at a time decided upon by God Himself. In addition, I was told, that once fully grown, the Lord's Mother, serving as my messenger from Her Son, would communicate with me so as to guide me, strengthen me, and constantly reassure me of Her Son's plan for world peace. After being blest with life for a second time, I returned as a new person - one with an enormous secret and a cross-like weight to bear for the next forty years, for this too was part of Heaven's plan. This heavy burden, or curse, as I once referred to it as - - in time, became the special blessing that I know it to be today.
Oddly enough, I became comfortably familiar with the direct signs, locutions, and angel messages - declarations approved by God and sent by the Blessed Mother. After years of exposure, these heavenly directives and acknowledgements eventually had become part of my everyday life. It has been said, "Once you get comfortable in life - you can then expect it all to change", and change it did. On November 24, 2011, a stronger, more preeminent form of communication was experienced, - the receipt of a Divine Revelation, and the first of many. I believe these newly received affirmations, of which I will share with you in this blog series, were not just a product of the Blessed Mother's will and guidance, guidance being delivered on Her Son's behalf, but from a higher, exalted expression of contact, now coming directly from God Himself.
Just prior to November 24, 2011, in August of the same year, I received a long awaited locution, a pronouncement stating, "The time is coming . . . the year is 2012." There has never been any question in my heart as to whom this particular message came from, or its meaning. The Blessed Mother, Herself, instructed me on that fateful day in 1962, that when deemed necessary, She would deliver this time sensitive information to me on behalf of Her Son's desires. Upon receipt of this supreme edict, I began to formulate a strategy on how to advance forward with my destiny and mission to assist the Lord with His plan for world peace. Instinctively, I knew there would be more divine guidance to come, and hopefully soon, since the world's unbeknown fate and Heaven's future triumph was being placed in my hands . . . the hands of an ordinary man.
Part Three of "Divine Revelations" will be posted for reading on July 24, 2013
