!? Jennifer 'Words from Jesus' USA (2001- c. 2012)

!? Jennifer “Words from Jesus” USA (2001 to c. 2012)



STATUS: NOT INVESTIGATED, NOT FORMALLY APPROVED by the Church – CONTAINS SERIOUS DOCTRINAL ERRORS.





There seems to be no biography available about the American mystic 'Jennifer' other than she claims to receive voices from Jesus and sometimes from Our Lady and St. Michael. She claims to receive spiritual direction since 2005 from a priest named Fr. Joe in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and her work is associated or published by a non-profit charity called “ Mary Joseph Communications” established in Minneapolis Minnesota judging from a tax statement published on her official website called wordsfromjesus.com, (click here.) 

Apparently, her last name is kept private on order of her spiritual director so she and her family can have 'privacy'. Sounds like another 'Maria-Divine Mercy' hiding her identity. True mystics do not stay anonymous. However, it has at least stopped a cult from forming around her like some other fake mystics.



I'm surprised her spiritual director has not recognised the errors in her writings. So far, the local ordinary is aware of her visions, and while he has not disapproved of them, he has NOT approved them either according to her spiritual director.



However, what is disturbing, they have made their way to the Vatican according to the site “Countdown to the Kingdom”



According to the Countdown to the Kingdom, she received a message from Jesus to present her messages directly to the pope.



Note: that is NOT Church procedure for visions, a mystic must go through their local bishop first, we can only hope she did ask for permission, but it is usually the bishop who does this, to send a visionary's message to the Vatican as part of an investigation commission, however, as her spiritual director asserts she has never been part of a formal investigation, it sounds like she went over the bishop's head in going straight to the pope. (Note, this was one of the reasons why Christina Gallagher of Ireland was not approved, going over her bishop's head.)  It is also a sign these visions are fake - Christ would never undermine the authority of His Church, and Christ Himself stressed to true mystics to be obedient to their superior, it is the surest way to stay safe and not be beguiled by the devil.  The Church has declared it is up to the local bishop to judge on visions and mystics, the pope will not even step over this unless on very rare occasions, so, when a so-called mystic steps over the authority of their local bishop or is disobedient to him, or, that the messages order them to be disobedient to the authority of the local bishop and go over his head or ignore him, you know they are fake. 



Jennifer met with Monsignor Pawel Ptasznik, a close friend and collaborator of the Pope (i.e. St. John Paul II) and the Polish Secretariat of State for the Vatican. The messages were passed to Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, John Paul II’s personal secretary. In a follow-up meeting, Msgr. Pawel said, “Spread the messages to the world any way you can.”



Note, there is no indication the Pope approved her messages, this was obviously something Msgr Pawel took upon himself. Monsignor Pawel was not her local bishop, nor was he a member of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith who would have the authority to evaluate a mystic. So, she still does not have official Church approval.



As mentioned, her spiritual advisor says she has not gone through a formal investigation, and, is apparently giving this unauthorised approval by Pawel as approval! 

Her spiritual director has said: “Jennifer has gone through no scrutiny or investigation by the Church authorities. She receives spiritual direction and she prayerfully discerns the messages with her advisor. Moreover, she has gone to Rome twice to meet with a Vatican official who reviewed the messages and affirmed her and the messages.” (Source.)  (i.e. he obviously means Pawel, who has no jurisdiction to approve her messages. Note, affirmation is NOT approval.)



So, it looks like someone is trying to cobble up an official approval which has not been given yet.



I'm surprised Monsignor Pawel didn't spot the errors in her texts too.



Here is a list of warning signs of a fake, errors and heresies:



:::::::::::::::::::



The very first revelation of the Voice makes no doctrinal or theological sense:



Jennifer describes the very first revelation of the Voice:



“In April of 2001 while I was at Mass I began to hear the words, "Come to Me." These words continued to repeat. I was wondering who was whispering in my ear, yet it did not sound like a whisper. The voice that I was hearing was a man's voice, but very soft and gentle. After Mass I asked my husband if he heard the person speaking those words. He said, "No." Every Sunday after that I continued to hear the same words and the closer I came to receiving the Eucharist the stronger the words sounded.



In July of 2001, I asked who he was and what he wanted. His response was, "I am He who came to shed the sins of the world."



What? What does it mean to 'shed the sins' of the world? That He “shed His Blood for the sins of the world” would be correct, but to 'shed the sins' without mention of His Blood is incorrect. It's really bad English which makes no doctrinal or theological sense.



This should have been a warning from the beginning.



::::::::::::::



Nov. 20, 2011, Our Lord gets the Hail Mary wrong!



Here is another serious red flag:



“You must respond to your life with the same words My Mother spoke to the angel Gabriel, "Let it be done to me according to thy will.”



Oh my. This is a serious error. We all know she said to the angel: “Let it be done unto me according to thy word.”



She was not submitting to St. Gabriel's will, but holding him to his word. Not many of Our Lady's words were recorded in scripture, and then for the vision to get wrong the most important thing she said?



Also, this is not just a typo - 'according to thy will' was also on another page of Jennifer's website that repeated this particular vision, the error 'according to thy will' was repeated along with the vision's message.



::::::::::::::::::::



May 26, 2003 – Implies the body will not be resurrected in the Eternal Kingdom.



Jesus “Every soul is beautiful and has a purpose. You are given the free will to choose My way and fulfil that purpose. My kingdom lives forever, but the body does not. Your soul needs to be cleansed and nurtured and living a holy life.



Note, the Church teaches we will die, our bodies will die temporarily, but we will be resurrected and our bodies will live eternally, either in Hell or the Eternal Kingdom The underlined sentence implies that while the Kingdom is Eternal, our bodies are not, and it is left hanging there without any affirmation our bodies will resurrect. It literally says our bodies will not live forever, so, this goes against the teaching of the resurrection of the body.





:::::::::::::::::::::::::::



May 23, 2004 – Jennifer gets the Days of Creation wrong!



And just as I created the world in seven days the world can be brought to its knees in seven days.”



Sorry, every Catholic should know that God created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th, He didn't create on the 7th day.



Then, the error is repeated AGAIN:



(July 8, 2004): “My people, do not become blind for in seven days the world was created and in seven days the world can be brought to its knees and cleansed of its filth.”



And repeats it AGAIN a third time on July 26, 2005.



This elementary error is cringe worthy.



It is as if God can't read the Book of Genesis.



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::


April 21, 2009 - That Christ did 'not suffer just for one faith' - HERESY OF INDIFFERENTISM (!?)



I did not suffer for one faith, I suffered for the whole human race for I am Jesus.”



This is a particularly sticky message – we know one of the devil's tactics is to hide errors by tacking truth onto them and this is one dangerous example of that.



True: the Church teaches that Christ died for ALL MEN – everyone is granted the necessary graces for salvation as no one comes into this world pre-damned by God, and no one is left without God's grace. If Christ did not die for all and did not grant the graces necessary for salvation to all, that would be falling into the heresy of the Calvinists who believe that some souls are born predestined for salvation, others for damnation.



So, the truth is yes, according to the Catholic Church, Christ did suffer and die for the whole human race – however, He did NOT suffer for ALL FAITHS, i.e. for all religions. This message seems to be mixing up the concept of nation with faith.



Now, I am not a theologian, so perhaps someone who is more advanced in doctrinal knowledge might want to confirm this and make sure my observation is correct, but I cannot help but see a dangerous example of the heresy of Indifferentism in this message here, i.e. a revelation that all religions are as good as another or equal and that salvation may be found outside the Catholic Faith no matter what faith one professes.



If Christ did 'not suffer just for one faith' as the message claims, then it means He also died for 'all faiths', meaning, He granted legitimacy to these other faiths through His death and that salvation may be found in these other faiths - which we know He did not do – He came to found One, Holy, Catholic Universal Church, which is the only means for salvation.



He died for ALL NATIONS, but NOT FOR ALL FAITHS. There is a huge difference here.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 



May 23, 2004 – that the Messages are “reiterated” through the Gospels:



“My people, My words do not only come through these messages, but are reiterated through the Gospel message.”



To reiterate means to repeat, that is, to “say something again or a number of times, typically for emphasis or clarity”



So if the Messages are reiterated IN the Gospels, it means the Message were written FIRST before the Gospels in order to be reiterated or repeated in the Gospels.



Sorry, but we all know the Gospels were written first! God apparently doesn't know English and makes a theological error in the process.



This is one big error.



::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



June 6, 2003 – Prophecy, not a prophecy – when a message already gives a 'sign' and these things have long since been happening.





“When you see children killing children, and man trying to control and copy the life I bring forth, know that these are all signs that this world cannot continue on this same path.”



Yes, these are evil signs, but the message spoke as a prophecy: “When you see” implies the future, however, kids have already been killing each other on the streets long before 2003, and cloning has happened a long time before this message – the first scientific step for cloning happened in 1928, and, the first tadpole was cloned in 1958, and the first carp in 1963 long before Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, so not a true prophecy. Reading current events like this is not a true prophecy, and, 'foretelling' past events is not prophecy either.



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Bad advice on 'Testing the Spirits'



In the Bible we read St. John the Evangelist gave the rule on 'testing the spirits' to discover the spirit of error or Truth:



“Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)



"We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:6)



The Douay-Rheims Bible teaches us what is meant by these passages:



"Try the spirits": Viz., by examining whether their teaching be agreeable to the rule of the Catholic faith, and the doctrine of the church. For as he (st. John) says, (ver. 6,) He that knoweth God, heareth us [the pastors of the church]. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”



So, testing the spirits means to see if what a prophet tells us is in accordance with Catholic doctrine and teaching. If it isn't, than it is the spirit of error, and if the prophet agrees with what the Church teaches, the spirit is true.





HOWEVER: Jennifer gives a very twisted direction: Jesus supposedly tells us the opposite, we are NOT to test the spirits, but rather, pray and the 'spirits will be tested'.



(July 14, 2009) “Do not test the spirits rather pray and the spirits will be tested.”



Sorry, a true vision would not tell us to do the opposite of what is in the Bible.



Yes, we must pray for DISCERNMENT; but we must also examine and test. Our Lady didn't just sit and pray when St. Gabriel appeared, she put the archangel to the test to see if his message was of God. “How can that be as I know not man?” When he replied her virginity would miraculously be intact even when with child by the power of God, she knew this was of God as the Bible foretold a virgin would conceive, and so she said, let it be done unto me 'according to thy word', i.e. in the virginal manner as you said. If St. Gabriel had said otherwise than what God has taught through His true prophets, then she knew that would have been of the devil.



Interesting considering all the errors popping up in Jennifer's messages, we are told 'not to test the spirits'.



::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Messages that the time of the Antichrist is upon us and that he will be appearing soon right after the coming chastisements:



This is one of the main ways to spot a fake mystic. Yes, we will have chastisements, but we have been promised the Age of Peace and the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff who will bring the Triumph of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts after these coming chastisements, the Antichrist will come a few decades after them, so, when a mystic says the Antichrist is about to appear now when we haven't had the Age of Peace of the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff, it's a sure sign they are fake.



Jennifer is giving these types of messages, that the Antichrist will appear as soon as this tribulation breaks out:



July 14, 2003 -”My people, your hour is upon you and the coming of the antichrist is near. You are soon to witness America going down in ruins because of its sinfulness.”



Oct. 9, 2003 “My people, as I have told you, now is your time of preparation for the moment of the antichrist is near. You must be on guard and follow the signs given to you for if you are not prepared and following the signs you could fall into his evil trap.”





Dec. 25, 2003 - “You have begun to see the division in My Church for too many of My chosen sons have fallen to the ways of the world. For, as I have told you, priest will be against priest and nun against nun. You will see countries that have enormous power fall into ruins and the rise of the antichrist. My people, prophets foretold you the coming of the Messiah and My messengers all around this world are writing these messages to help prepare you for the awakening you will endure.”





Also, another two the antichrist is coming after the close chastisement which is upon us and that this is his coming time:



(Aug. 3, 2004) “My people, take heed to the signs, take heed to the times in which you live. Just as you know that it is time to harvest the fields before winter sets in so do you know that the signs are upon you to change your sinful ways before the wrath of My Father awakens this earth. Mountain tops will awaken and the rock of the earth will split representing the true dividing line between heaven and hell. You will see the sign coming out of the east and the rise of the antichrist will follow.”



(Oct. 12, 2004) “My places of refuge are in the final stages of preparation all around this world. If you are not prepared to let go of the world and go where you are called to be, you will become a victim of the antichrist.”



Note, if the shelters are NOW in the final stages before the Antichrist comes, then Jennifer is saying we're in the coming time of the Antichrist himself. Her messages constantly imply he is coming shortly after the coming wars.



No, sorry, we haven't had the Age of Peace yet, so this is fake.



See the next section below to see why.



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



The Messages from Jennifer imply that 1) the tribulations and purifications are coming 2) the Antichrist is rising and will appear 3) the Triumph of the Immaculate heart and the Age of Peace comes after him.





This contradicts authentic messages that 1) we will have an antichrist precursor period, but NOT 'The' Antichrist yet 2) the chastisements and wars and 3 Days of Darkness sent to cleanse the earth of the evil works committed during the antichrist precursor period 3) The Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff establish the Age of Peace with the reign of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, 4) people take the Age of Peace for granted and so the The Antichrist appears, 5) The Second Coming happens and Christ defeats the Antichrist.



If messages contradict the authentic Timeline that follows the teachings of the Church and authentic mystics, etc., then they are in error and something is wrong.



Fake mystics jumble up and confuse end time events.



::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



That the Antichrist is already on the earth but “hidden”, etc.



This goes against the teaching of St. Paul that there will be a great apostasy from the Faith first, then the Antichrist will publicly reveal himself and set himself up in the Temple, then put his plans into action.



A lot of fake mystics today say we're going to be numbered and marked first by the minions of the Antichrist in the world, and then he will show himself. Or that he is in the world but 'hidden'.



Jennifer, (May 11, 2004) - “You have tried to simplify your lives with your latest means of communication, yet I warn you to be on guard for these latest tracking devices will soon track your movement for you will become like numbered sheep to the authorities of this false messiah, this antichrist.”



However, the Church teaches he will show himself first. We will have the choice upfront to follow him or not and be marked or not. Only the precursors will act like him either in secret or openly.



We're in a precursor period, not the real time of The Antichrist yet. So Jennifer has the timing and events off again.



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Messages about Angels bringing us to shelters – sounds very much like the condemned messages of John Leary.



We know from the Bible we will not be spared the tribulations, there is nothing mentioned we are going to be rescued to be spared the troubles of the chastisements or the Antichrist. It sounds like a variant of the Protestant 'Rapture' nonsense.



It also contradicts true prophecies about having to prepare our homes for the Three Days of Darkness – it is up to us to get our homes ready for what's coming, such as storing food and blackening windows, getting our candles, etc. If we were not to worry about this and not to get our blessed candles etc., God would have told the approved mystics, He would have told us not to prepare! He would taken care of it all!



July 2, 2003 – the first message from Jennifer about the angels and shelters even seems to contradict placing trust in the angel's shelters:



“You must not only prepare by cleansing your soul, but also by putting food and water aside and My angels will lead you to your place of refuge.”



Why would we need to put food and water aside if the angels are going to lead us somewhere else to shelter? Sounds like a contradictory message. Fake visions contradict themselves.



July 10, 2003 – another message about shelter that contradicts the 'angel shelters' and the warnings of approved mystics:



“My people, the time is coming when you will need to gather your families and help one another and many of My faithful will be persecuted. You will need to go to your places of refuge and I will provide you with My Heavenly Manna.”



Here we are given the message that we ourselves must go to 'your' places of refuge, meaning these are shelters we have to prepare for ourselves. So, what has happened to the first messages about angels going to bring us to prepared shelters? Jennifer has contradicted her own message.



Also, if we are to prepare food and water as the first message of July 2, 2003 said, why is Jesus going to provide us with 'Heavenly Manna'? Do we prepare food or don't we? She says we must, but don't worry the angels will bring us to pre-prepared shelters!



Also, if Our Lord meant He will provide the Eucharist for us, that goes against approved mystics like Marie-Julie Jahenny who said during the tribulations, we will be without the Sacraments for a time and all we will have is our Faith, until the Church is restored that is.



Here's another one: (June 22, 2004): My people, I have told you that places of refuge are being prepared all around this world. It is important that you take heed to My words and trust in Me when My angels come and assist you. It is important that you remain on guard for if you are not remaining vigilant in your prayers you may be guided in the wrong way for My refuges will not only protect you from the storms, but also from the forces of the antichrist.”



So prepare food and water, but no need to prepare. Also, we will be sheltered from the forces of the Antichrist, which contradicts the teachings and true mystics that the people of God will suffer during those times.



Here's another one saying the the faithful are preparing shelters, the angels will lead people to them,

(July 14, 2004) “The time is soon coming, it is rapidly approaching for My places of refuge are in the stages of being prepared at the hands of My faithful. My people, My angels will come and guide you to your places of refuge where you will be sheltered from the storms and the forces

of the antichrist and this one world government.”



So a certain amount of faithful prepare shelters, while others get led to these shelters? This message is dangerous as in true messages we are told to prepare our own homes. This could make other people complacent saying: “Oh! The Angels will lead us to places, we don't have to do anything!”



So, not only could this make people complacent and not prepare for themselves thinking it will be done for them at the hands of others, (against the parable of the Wise Virgins who did NOT give away their own oil to the Foolish virgins), this is a false message saying the Antichrist is about to appear, and, the faithful will be kept safe from his persecutions. This goes against the teachings that the just will suffer in those times.



Also, there is another danger people don't seem to notice: those who prepare for the chastisements and who may read these messages may get fooled by the demons when the Three Days of Darkness hit thinking that perhaps the voices they hear outside are people being led to their shelter by the “angels” for their help when they could be demons outside! When the Three Days of Darkness hits, we are NOT to open our doors or windows or we'll be struck dead. We are expected to prepare to the best of our ability, and, we are not to leave it up to others. That would be like the Foolish Virgins in the parable who expected the others to give them their oil.



Jennifer's messages regarding preparations for the chastisements are contradictory and all over the place, which is usually a sign of a fake mystic.



Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be uncharitable, but unless you have a group family plan of what to do and have planned to go to each other's homes, then fine, but otherwise you should not expect others to prepare for you when we have been warned for nearly two centuries about the Days of Darkness. The Foolish Virgins were standing about for ages and saw the Wise Virgins with their extra oil, but didn't think to ask in plenty of time where to buy their own, they expected stuff to be handed to them at the very last moment and look what happened.



However, in the off chance should this message be true and an angel appear IN my house and mystically transports people who need shelter INSIDE for help, okay, but we can see these messages are false. So, I'm certainly not listening to cries outside and opening my doors when the Three Days of Darkness hits – I'm not falling for that one. Don't you fall for it either. And, don't sit around expecting others to prepare for you. Get prepared like the Wise Virgins.

July 27, 2003 -Odd and useless manner of praying for the dead that is theologically wrong



Jesus supposedly gives an odd way we should pray for the dead.



“When you witness the death of a loved one, do not question My plan, rather pray for the soul of that person that their life was one that was pleasing to Me.



This is a useless manner of praying for the dead: once they are dead, there is no changing their life at that point, you cannot pray that Our Lord finds their life pleasing with the hope of changing it for the better if Our Lord doesn't find it pleasing!



We can pray God has MERCY on them, we can HOPE their life was pleasing to Our Lord, but their life cannot be made more 'pleasing' after death at that point. Time on earth is over for that soul.

 If Our Lord had said 'pray for that soul, because you do not know if their life was pleasing to Me', that would have made more sense as you would be asking for mercy for them and not assuming they were perfect when they died, but, to pray God to find their life 'pleasing' if it wasn't to Him is pointless.



::::::::::::::::::::::



Constant repetitive prodding that 'Yes, these messages are real!”



When the message of a mystic keep saying over and over and over that “yes, these messages are real”, then they are trying to convince, and and real visions does not need to do this – they won't force belief as we are not required to believe private revelations.



Jennifer's messages are riddled with 'yes, these messages are real, real, real!



:::::::::::::::::::::



Placing mistrust against those who doubt these Messages:



As the Church teaches, we are NOT required to believe private revelation for Salvation, so, we are free to believe or doubt private revelation without incurring sin. We are also required to test and carefully examine unapproved messages for the sake of our souls so we are not led astray.



So, when a so-called mystic places doubt on those who test or question their messages or tries to make doubters feel guilty for doubting or testing the messages, then something is wrong.



It is sign the visions are forcing conviction and belief, and telling them to ignore the voice of prudence.



Here is an example from Jennifer of this happening: (July 23, 2003) “Many will question if these are truly My words, but all who truly live the way of the cross will know these messages are from heaven. It is those people who do not truly live their faith that will doubt.”





Considering we've already seen quite a number of doctrinal errors, contradictions and a false prophecy we can safely ignore those messages. So, those who spot the errors are those 'who do not truly live their faith? And they are not 'living the way of the cross'? You have to know your faith to live it, and if you can spot errors in the messages because you know your faith, than this message is complete nonsense. This will also turn those who mistakenly believe a false message against those who can see and point out the errors.



It is also dangerous in that if the Church comes forward in the future and officially declares a negative judgement against these messages, then this particular message will make people say, “Well, I won't listen to that bishop because he's not living the faith as the messages says, which is why he is not approving it.”



So, this message also poses a danger regarding the virtue of obedience to the Church.



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Troublesome Message about “Not Altering the Messages”:



True, it is not a good thing to do to alter the words of an authentic mystic, but, when an obviously fake seer warns that those who alter the messages she gets are like the heretics that pick and choose the Commandments, then what of those who actually spot errors in the message?





Our Lord: “My people, it is those of you who choose to alter My words that are the same ones who pick and choose My Commandments. You are not the final judge, I am! These messages, My people, speak the truth that your lives are not pleasing to Me. Those of you who spend your time altering My words are the ones wasting your opportunity to prepare and you will become the lost sheep in the night.” (Nov. 6, 2003)





Only a fake mystic worries this much about how the messages remain 'intact'. Quite a number of true mystics couldn't read and write and it was left in the hands of scribes God sent them: they trusted God would take care of it. Such as Bl. Catherine Emmerick and Marie-Julie Jahenny. This message above sounds like God's Providence can't take care of His own messages.



Also, if the message above says that those who alter the words are like those cafeteria Catholics we shouldn't pay attention to, what about those who actually spot errors? We are 'wasting everyone's time'? That is rather troublesome as this encourages those who believe Jennifer not to pay attention to those who can see the errors too. And, in any case, a visionary's messages are NOT equal with the Commandments or the revelations in the Bible – even if we should never have received messages from mystics, we have the Commandments and know we should not change or pick and chose from them, etc. This vision places its messages on the same level as the Commandments, when the Church teaches we are not required to believe private revelation. If they were as important as the Commandments, we would be required to believe everything as dogma that a mystic says, which we are not.




:::::::::::::


Has an 'Illumination of Conscience' prophecy


The messages dated Sept. 12th, 2003 and Dec. 24-25th, 2003 from Jennifer mention an 'Illumination of Conscience' event and she sees how it happens.   

This is now possibly an indication of a fake mystic as Ven. Bernardo Maria Clausi says we are not to pay attention to those who go into details of a never before revealed 'momentary' universal 'plague' that could kill the ungodly as God is reserving the details of this for Himself and is NOT going to reveal the details to ANYBODY.  Click here for more information on this.


Not to mention, her vision is mixing up what the 'Warning' with the 'Illumination of Conscience' event.  The various warnings are very different from the so-called  'Illumination of Conscience', so to see a vision mix it up together is another sign of a fake, in any case.




::::::::::::::::::::::::::

So, as there are obvious problems with these messages from Jennifer and they are not included in the Timeline.
