Big changes are ahead and it won't be comfortable. Below are some excerpts from a reliable trustworthy mystic. This is Anne: https://directionforourtimes.com/anne-a-lay-apostle/ I like that she is not yet a saint, but a regular person. She was anonymous as possible at first but now her kids are older and the cat is out of the bag and she has videos and speaking engagements; we all know who she is. She did not have a perfect past and wasn't perfect when Jesus started speaking to her everyday. I like discovering in Volume 1, where she shows us through her experiences how to walk with Jesus and listen to him, which she does quite imperfectly, she is still smoking and swearing! Its been awhile and she must be done wit that now but it helps that she is a regular person, a work in progress like the rest of us.
Direction for our Times publishes her books, including her visions of Heaven and her visions of Purgatory. She has ten volumes, which I excerpt from here, and a bunch of booklets on really useful topics, that are on that same page linked at the bottom of this page.
Excerpts are below. The numbers are the page number in the Volume. The date is the date she had the vision or she heard the locution form Jesus, which she wrote as he spoke. Jesus's words are in bold itallics, Anne's in regular.
The events of this time signal the end of this era. A new era will come. Here Jesus gives some reasons why this era has to come to an end.
From Volume 8:
May 25, 2004
Our God is prepared to act in order to cleanse the
world. He would be justified in destroying the
world, such is the level of rebellion against Him.
Because of His great love for us, He cannot bear to
do that, but He is allowing change and the angels
prepare to act. Jesus says that in times past, even as
near as the first half of the twentieth century, souls
were generally obedient. This is not so anymore.
During this time, souls are generally disobedient.
May 26, 2004
Jesus showed me His deep disappointment at the
sight of many of today’s mothers. He gave me a
glimpse of the heart of a mother who was heedless
to the needs of her children and overly concerned
with things of this world and of her appearance, as
in physical appearance. This was disturbing. Jesus
told me that this mother, who is representative of
many, lacks love for her children and loves herself.
He indicated her heart, which was like a cracked
stone with small serpents moving through the
cracks. I hate serpents and this vision was very
unpleasant. The serpents represented pride, avarice,
jealousy or envy, hatred, etc. Jesus was greatly
disappointed as He showed me the children who are
emotionally abandoned and receiving indifference
when they are in need of and entitled to warmth and
love. I felt revulsion at the sight of this woman, but
again, she was representative of many modern
women. I must say that on the outside this woman
was quite beautiful.
While this woman was repulsing me, Jesus moved
on to show His opinion or experience of many
modern men. He said they ignore their own
spiritual duties and often completely abandon any
formation of their children. He indicated great sins
of the sexual nature, some with complicit partners,
but also many assaults on innocent victims.
Jesus told me He is with every innocent victim,
always. He said He hears every cry and each act
16
will have to be atoned for. Jesus is disgusted and
repulsed by these sins, but does not turn His face
away, because He must witness every act on earth.
June 9, 2004
In the immediate future we will see an even greater
attack on purity. It will be directed at women and
children as are all such attacks. The greatest attack
on purity is seen in the sin of abortion. Jesus told
me that the act of abortion is actually the devil’s
rage unleashed in the greatest fashion. The devil so
hates God and all that is good and holy that he has
actually persuaded mankind to destroy developing
life.
I sensed Jesus suffering terribly and asked Him
if I could be with Him to at least keep Him
company and that is when He told me this. He said
abortion is the devil’s greatest fury and a direct
attack on God the Creator. Jesus suffered terribly
for this sin during His Passion and said that
abortion alone would be responsible for a terrible
punishment on the world, one which He is allowing
because of the sin of abortion. Jesus often steps in
and prevents mankind from reaping the full price
that is owed from sin, but in this case He will not
mitigate. He said any work done to prevent or stop
abortions would be greatly rewarded. He repeated
that statement twice.
June 10, 2004
Jesus again spoke of abortion and how the sacred
place of the womb belongs to God the Creator. He
said that He has allowed many medical and
scientific advances out of mercy and love for
mankind, but some men, in cooperation with the
enemy, who has secured their service through
things like greed and pride, have exploited and
desecrated these medical and scientific gifts. He
said this is evident in that the enemy has pierced the
sacredness of the womb to destroy the work of the
Creator, and has attempted to become the creator by
himself, in defiance to God, by creating members of
humanity. Jesus said that the people responsible
know that they are committing grave sin. He said
He puts holy men and women in their paths to warn
them, but some continue down this path of terrible
disobedience. Jesus said that many men and women
have desisted from these activities because their
consciences have warned them that their behaviors
were sinful. These people will receive great
forgiveness and reward in heaven, particularly those
who then repent and speak out against these actions.
Jesus then began to talk about how mankind is so
arrogant that he thinks God cannot take all of these
advances away. He can, of course, and He said that
He intends to do just that, but only for a short time.
He said that He is too merciful to permanently
destroy our ability to assist earthly souls with the
fields of medicine and science.

Jesus showed me that another thing causing Him
great sadness today is loneliness in families. He
said,
“Look. These children have no one to
play with because the siblings I willed for
them have been rejected by their parents.
Selfish generation. They fear that
additional children will impede their
entertainment. The elderly are also a
burden because, despite the fact that these
same souls have limited their number of
children, they still have not gained
sufficient entertainment time so they must
also leave the care of their elderly parents
to others, even in situations where they
could care for them themselves. Both their
children and their parents experience loss
in this situation. I feel only sadness at this.”
Jesus also said that time hung heavily on these
souls because they are not involved in heavenly
activities. He told me that no entertainment will be
enough to satisfy these people. We must pray for
them because they are chasing nothings. Jesus is
pleased by selflessness and said that people should
experience great entertainment in each other,
meaning in their families and with their loved ones.
This time with loved ones is not supposed to be
such a burden as it is treated today.

Jesus allowed me to see that He is sad. He grows
weary with this world and with the constant
disregard for His presence in and dominion over
this world. Where there was once general love,
there is general hatred. Jesus again allowed me to
glimpse the wrath He has for those who destroy
innocence. Initially, He made reference to children
who have been molested. His wrath at offenders in
this area of sin is going to be fearsome. I do not
know how to convey in words the gravity of this.
He said they should REPENT. This is a most
serious situation for these offenders. He said they
would do better to do violence to themselves than to
assault a child. He also said something else about
this. He said that at this time He is releasing a
torrent of graces for the healing of the souls of
children and adults who have been molested in this
way. As never before, He will grant peace to
victims of this type of crime against innocence.
Victims themselves can ask for these graces and
those who know people who have been hurt in this
way can secure these graces. Please ask Jesus for
these graces because they are available.

I don’t know what to say about today’s experience
except that I was filled with a terrible feeling, which
Jesus identified as the revulsion He feels when He
is confronted by some sins. Today’s was dreadful
and even now I am having trouble shaking it off.
Jesus
What you feel is the revulsion I experience
when priests who are arrogantly rebellious
receive Me in the Eucharist. They are filled
with sins of the flesh and delight in the
paradox of presiding over the Great
Sacrifice with blatant disrespect and
insincerity. This is the ultimate in
rebellion and I, Jesus Christ, experience
this every day. You had great difficulty
disengaging yourself, Anne, such is the
dreadful filth of this experience. You said,
“Lord, how on earth will I record this?” I
dictate to you for that reason. Some things
need not be recorded on earth but be
assured, each act is recorded in heaven
and recorded in My heart.
After a short period of the greatest difficulty, I am
at peace.
[...]
July 9, 2004
Jesus is prepared and determined to begin this
process of cleansing. He drew attention to the
reference made to children who have never been
exposed to goodness. He said there are many cases
where even mothers school their children in evil
ways from the time they are young. They do not
apologize for, feel remorse about, or seek to amend
their behavior in any way. These children have
difficulty understanding goodness later and equate
goodness with foolishness and stupidity. This is
what they are taught. What struck me, and what
Jesus was trying to convey to me, is the disregard
the mother had for the fact that she was corrupting
her child. This was a bad thing.
Jesus again made reference to the slaughter of
abortions. He said when chastisements befall the
earth, evil people who are choosing darkness move
from ridiculing God and mocking Him to cursing
Him. They say, in effect, “Look how cold and
hateful God is to allow this to happen.”
Jesus
In response I would like to say that at least
I have given these souls a chance to live
and an opportunity to make their decision
to serve heaven or not to serve heaven,
unlike current humanity, who slaughters
the innocents before they are even fully
50
formed. Who is the evil doer, I ask you? You
will have these answers, Anne, because I
am placing them in your heart. The
slaughtered souls do not suffer in their
eternity, in response to your unasked
question. They are given opportunities to
earn holiness here with Me. I am all
justice. It is your world who suffers
because these individuals had purposes.
Your humanity rejected their brothers and
sisters, refusing to make room for them in
their selfishness. Woe to you, selfish ones. I
am returning.

July 12, 2004
Today Jesus brought me to Him and showed me a
young boy, maybe eight or nine years old. The boy
was in his room playing a video game on his bed.
Jesus said that many parents are not home and if
they are at home they are often unavailable to their
children. Our Lord said that this boy was destined
to be a great follower and do very big things for the
Kingdom, but he was being given no formation.
Because of this lack of formation, he would not be
able to answer the call. He doesn’t even know to
listen for a call. Jesus said there are thousands like
him. Jesus said that He wants this boy to be laying
in his bed considering infinity and his possible role
in infinity. He said that were the boy given the
proper formation and knowledge and example, this
child would grow to impact the world in a powerful
way.
Jesus
As it is, Anne, he is being prepared to
make money. This is a waste of My great
gifts. Anne, his mother should be working
quietly around the house, filling this child
with the security he needs to be at peace
and to consider his role in the universe.
Alas, his mother is not at home. Someone
who has little interest in him is caring for
him and he knows it. His father now
should quietly pass his room, and seeing
52
his son daydreaming, should sit down
with him and listen to his son’s questions
and intellectual stretches. His father is
not at home to do this, though, because he
is entertaining himself. Anne, My heart is
so heavy at this waste of the Kingdom’s
greatest gifts. Your heart becomes heavy
with Mine because you love Me and
because you grieve for this boy’s
loneliness. You have asked how you can
help this boy. I tell you that you can
quickly complete the editing of Volume
Six. Through it I will save many families,
including this one. ANNE, I WANT MY
FAMILIES BACK! (This was thundered at me.)
Please, get to work.
Obviously, I went home and finished the editing
that night. I must sound very virtuous. I assure my
reader that Our Lord had told me earlier it was a
priority but I felt like I was in a haze for about a
week.

Today Jesus showed me something brief but
compelling. He showed me a woman in her kitchen.
Her home was beautiful. She was obviously
wealthy. She was well-dressed with great style and
she moved efficiently through her kitchen preparing
a meal for her family. I’m having trouble recording
this and Jesus is prompting me, saying, “I showed
you her face. What did you see?”
Well, brothers and sisters, when He showed me her
face, I was aware that she was very beautiful by the
world’s standards. But I could not see that, really,
because I was looking with the eyes of our Savior.
What I saw with His heavenly eyes was dreadful. I
was fearful of meeting her gaze as I would not want
to have those eyes fixed on me. She was horrible.
The heavenly vision experienced her face as a mass
of small serpents. She is dreadfully ugly, despite
her well-kept physical beauty. Her eyes are cold
and dead. It was very unpleasant and I took little
glances and hurriedly looked away.
Jesus says, “She is a servant to the enemy.
Her countenance revolts you because there
is a complete absence of goodness. She
knows I am here. She meets My gaze with
audacious hatred. This woman is active
in her community, volunteering for
charitable causes. She is considered a
good mother and attends a Christian
68
church service every week. Anne, I realize
this was unpleasant and I thank you for
your willingness to share My view. I show
you this to compare this woman’s face
with the pure beauty of the dirt streaked
and battered face of My beloved servant in
captivity. Souls must learn to look with My
eyes and they will not put such value on
physical beauty. You should pray for this
woman, of course. You do so each time you
ask for the conversion of sinners.”
August 5, 2004
Jesus showed me the world from the hilltop. It
moves along, turning. He said that during this time,
because of the difficulty, He moves time faster or
shortens the days so that we will move more
quickly through these days. I was directed by a
friend later to a reference in Matthew 24:22. “And
if those days had not been shortened, no one would
be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be
shortened.” This is a mercy. Jesus said that during
the darkness He will move time even more quickly
and this is a great mercy indeed. Jesus talked about
the great gifts that He gives souls and how He sends
just the right things into the lives of young people
and children so that the gifts He will want to use
will be developed. He showed me how He had
given me certain teachers and opportunities so that
I would learn to write and speak with confidence.
He said He was pleased when I began teaching
because I remained consistent with what He
wanted. It is a source of great satisfaction to God
when this occurs.
He also showed me examples of souls who had
been given great gifts but who used them to further
their own agendas with regard to power or worldly
acclaim. This almost always resulted from
temptation for personal gain which the enemy uses
to lure souls into his service. This displeases God
because the gifts come from Him, not the enemy,
and they should be used for God and God’s desires,
72
which always include helping others and furthering
the Kingdom.
Jesus
Be assured, you will see Me act then. My
graces will be withdrawn from the world
and you will know that I have left the
world to reap what they sow. Anne, this is
a kindness. You do not want your children
living in a world which is willing to
accept debasement and exalt it as good.
This world was not created to glorify evil,
but to glorify good. I will not have this and
this is the only merciful way to act. I am a
God of mercy. A God of mercy moves to
protect His children when they are
threatened with eternal perdition. My
holy souls will rest in My peace, even as
their world changes. You must continue
on your paths and leave everything to Me.
Trust is your watchword, your constant. I
will never abandon My own, but I will
intervene in a rebellious world.
I want to say that Jesus is not overly angry, but very
serious, and very firm. He showed me the network
of holy souls and a great deal of holiness seems to
originate from the Blessed Mother. Her touch
seems to go on and on, connecting souls whom she
converts. I do not walk away with the feeling that
anything dreadful is happening. Not at all. I feel
73
very confident in Him, and I have the strongest
sense that we are in the best and safest of hands. I
am so grateful, really, that our Lord sits on His
hillside and watches this world and each of us in it.
I urge everyone to glance His way and offer Him a
beautiful smile of love. He is really so filled with
goodness.
