Paralyzed in Fear
By: Eric Gajewski
In our times and in the more
immediate times ahead the devil will be attempting to not only further deceive us
but also try to get us to succumb to fear.
Fear is paralyzing without Christ and thus great importance is placed on
being in a state of grace. I can recall
the numerous times as an eagle in training, Our Lord, taking me to the edge of
the cliff (so to speak) asked “will you now fly?” To the carnal eye a man freezes and sees below the
great risk he takes in this jump.
Without Christ assuredly we will free-fall into the Abyss below but with
Christ we can do all things. If we cling
to self we will age but our wings of Faith and Hope will never spread. Our bodies will grow but our hearts will never expand in the Selfless Love of Christ. Yet, if we cling to the Sacred Heart our wings are
always ready to fly.
Luke
5: 18-20 And
behold, men brought in a bed a man, who had the palsy: and they sought means to
bring him in, and to lay him before him. [19] And
when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the
multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with
his bed into the midst before Jesus. [20] Whose
faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Many
people will succumb to fear because they will not give up sin. Arise and walk! You cannot even get to the edge of the cliff
if you will not first lay down your mortal sins which keep you paralyzed. The devil wants you to stay locked in fear
and yet it is perfect love which casts out all and any fear. Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity
casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected
in charity. 1 John 4:18 If you fear it means you still love your self (somewhere);
you are still holding on to something other than Christ Himself and His
Will. Let us not be mistaken there is a
healthy fear of God that we all should have but how many people still make
excuse, on the surface, for not doing something, when all the while the reality is, that you
still cling to self! To “pick up thy
mat and walk” for your own lives is not easy for it requires one to have
Faith. A Faith which will not bend to
self love. Most times we make excuses
for ourselves but if we are examining daily our own faults we can see clearly how
far off we are from perfect charity.
We
find fear within.
Where do we meet this fear? Often
we meet the ugly face of fear within. We fear on three levels specifically (1) first
in what we see of ourselves (2) in what we know we must change (3) that which we see but cannot explain. I see the ugliness of self in me thru Gods Great
Mirror and do not like it. Two, my heart
does not want to change. Three, I see
things which I cannot explain and thus stay paralyzed. We often meet fear, in the early stages of purification,
in this divine dark, in which God is trying to get you to move away from and
abolish the self forever. Make no
mistake God gives us crosses in so that we might break free from the vicious
cycle of clinging to self and our own wills.
He will take you (as an eaglet) to edge of the cliff and smile. He will ask you “would you like to fly with
Me? For it is only through Faith and
Hope that we can achieve these blue skies destined for us! Without Faith it is impossible to please God
thus this is why God will allow these temptations "to fear". The fear of not looking cool, not having the
best of everything, not being the smartest, the prettiest.., etc But more specifically this fear of drawing
closer to His Sacred Heart. Fore we know we will have to give up and be detached from everything! The path to
perfection is brutally painful on all levels (mind, body, senses, spirit) and
yet it is only those who walk in Faith that can come to the spiritual marriage
in this life.
Faith
restores. In the eight year Eneas was
restored. And
he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years,
who was ill of the palsy. Acts of
Apostles 9:33 Eight is a number that
represents restoration, rebirth or regeneration. Will
you stay on the cliffs forever or prepare your wings to spread and take to
flight? Only eight were saved on the ark,
that is, found with Our Lady (hidden within Immaculate Heart) traversing the
storm. And so we as eagles must do the
same. There is no rainbow without first
the storm. There is no paralysis
attributed to fear to the Christian who is truly walking in Faith and Hope. There is no paralysis to those walking with
our Blessed Virgin Mary (our model) and our King! In this hour do not despair the modernists
have our buildings. Rather I tell you to
pick up thy mat and walk! We are "the
triumph" my good friends (whether in body or death). Everyone seems
to be looking somewhere else "off in the distance" for this glorious restoration
of the Church and yet it starts with you and I.
Eagles restore and regenerate for we are rooted in the Source by which
this is accomplished. Eagles get excited
for the storm….

Fear Ye Not
Let not thy heart be troubled for I AM is near
And In what ye seek to flee
My Sacred Heart hast previously "burnt up"
Yea, all thy doubts, worries and fear
For in what Ye would seekest to hold
My Heart already knows that it is not good for thee
For I AM in all things and every area of your life, Perfect Charity
And My Word transcends this world of which I have told
Therefore, take My Hand and be in silence that my Love has wrought
For together we can do all things
Yea, even overcoming all of My enemies
And let us walk together silently
In which ye shalst hear Me speak unto thy heart again…
Fear Ye Not...
