Spiritual Bullets

  • When a "Spiritual Bullet" hits your heart, it opens it up to the honesty of self-knowledge and the fundamental Truth of Jesus Christ. Not every "bullet" will "hit home" but when one does it gives you an opportunity to move forward into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

    Can you admit to yourself that you need to be healed and that you need Jesus to do it?


    For the love of Jesus and your brothers and sisters can you take the money you are going to spend on a night out and donate it to a charity; and if you can’t do you know why?


    Don’t you think that Satan wants you to think you are going to Heaven and in that way get you to drop your guard; as he slowly gets you to embrace the world and its pleasures?


    Can you say to Jesus, “Lord, what is the next step I need to take in my relationship with you?”


    Do you love Jesus enough to give Him one of your toys?


    Before you go to sleep each night do you think about the time you wasted that day; that you could at least have spent a moment and said “Hi Jesus, thank you for all that You have done for me !!!”?


    You say you believe that God knows what’s best for you but why then do you find it so hard to trust Him?


    Take a guess at who wants you to “call the shots”? [Here’s a clue – his name begins with the letter - S.]


    You say you want to go to Heaven? Why then do you spend so much time doing things that couldn't possibly help you get there?


    You’ll become like that which you worship.


    Can you admit to God that He scares you? Can you tell Him why?


    How is it that you have time to do things that have no value in God’s eyes but find it hard to find time to do the things that you know have great value in His eyes?


    If you truly believe that God is all of what you believe him to be then why do you continually use your faulty intelligence to find answers?


    Isn't it about time you got out of the world and into God?


    Which is more important to you – what the world thinks of you or what Jesus does?


    Wouldn't you rather work for God that for the world? Well, tell Him so.


    Since the root of all sin is disordered self-love, can you admit to yourself that you love your sin?


    Do you want the fruits of God and the pleasures of the world? Sorry – if you try to “walk the fence” you might fall on the wrong side.


    CONGRATULATIONS!!! So, you think you have reached a balance between your worldly and spiritual live. Who you kidding?


    Why do you insist on running your own life when you would freely admit that God would do a much better job at it?


    Until Jesus can take up His Rightful Reign in your heart, you will have distorted thinking as your ruler and guide.


    Are you going to “walk the walk” that you talk and get to work in God's Vineyard?

    I heard this stuff for 25 years in Protestant "churches."
     :barf:
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

    Yes, That's when I go to confession


    For the love of Jesus and your brothers and sisters can you take the money you are going to spend on a night out and donate it to a charity; and if you can’t do you know why?


    Don’t you think that Satan wants you to think you are going to Heaven and in that way get you to drop your guard; as he slowly gets you to embrace the world and its pleasures?

    This is a good question to ask in front of the Blessed Sacrament


    Do you love Jesus enough to give Him one of your toys?


    Before you go to sleep each night do you think about the time you wasted that day; that you could at least have spent a moment and said “Hi Jesus, thank you for all that You have done for me !!!”?
    Time to say the act of contrition. I teach the children to say this every night


    You say you believe that God knows what’s best for you but why then do you find it so hard to trust Him?
    Time to spend some time before the Blessed Sacrament


    Take a guess at who wants you to “call the shots”? [Here’s a clue – his name begins with the letter - S.]
    Where's my St Benedict medal? my St michael medal?
     
    You say you want to go to Heaven? Why then do you spend so much time doing things that couldn't possibly help you get there?
    Time to go to confession again


    You’ll become like that which you worship.
    I want to be like Jesus. You can find Him at teh Catholic Church


    Can you admit to God that He scares you? Can you tell Him why?
    Time to go to confession again


    How is it that you have time to do things that have no value in God’s eyes but find it hard to find time to do the things that you know have great value in His eyes?
    Another trip to confession


    If you truly believe that God is all of what you believe him to be then why do you continually use your faulty intelligence to find answers?
    Maybe I should look for a good spiritual director.


    Isn't it about time you got out of the world and into God?
    Time to go to Holy Mass.


    Which is more important to you – what the world thinks of you or what Jesus does?
    After mass, lets spend some time before the Blessed Sacrament


    Wouldn't you rather work for God that for the world? Well, tell Him so.
    If you can't think of anything to say while you are in front of Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament


    Since the root of all sin is disordered self-love, can you admit to yourself that you love your sin?
    I am got rid of my sin when I went to confession.


    Do you want the fruits of God and the pleasures of the world? Sorry – if you try to “walk the fence” you might fall on the wrong side.
    Time to go to Holy Mass again


    CONGRATULATIONS!!! So, you think you have reached a balance between your worldly and spiritual live. Who you kidding?
    Another trip to the Blessed Sacrament


    Why do you insist on running your own life when you would freely admit that God would do a much better job at it?
    More time with Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament  


    Until Jesus can take up His Rightful Reign in your heart, you will have distorted thinking as your ruler and guide.
    Time to spend more time with Jesus in front of the Blessed Sacrament

    Are you going to “walk the walk” that you talk and get to work in God's Vineyard?
    Come to the Catholic Church, the vinyard of God
