Greetings.
For many years I have been the web master for a blog site for Father Sam Johnston, a nonagenarian retired priest of the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation for the Diocese of London Ontario. Father Sam is a very active retired priest, acting as Spiritual Director for a few souls, including one who receives a weekly prophetic message believe to be from the Lord. I have reproduced the latest message here, and have linked to the blog site itself, which is called Life in the Spirit.
The world as we know it seems to be passing away. Change is coming at a dizzying clip.
This morning in quiet prayer, I was thinking about how disobedient I have been all my life. Even when I try not to sin, I seem to miss the mark. But, the desire of my heart is to be His, to do His will, in good times and bad. The first line of the prophetic word below spoke to me, and gives me hope, as does the rest of this message.
I have seen Father Sam take a copy of these messages, and go over them word by word, ensuring that they conform with scripture, and with Church tradition. As Director of the one receiving these messages, he wants to ensure that they are from God, and are to be shared with His people.
2019-11-07 MY REMNANT WILL LIVE A NEW LIFE INRI
Though My people have been disobedient, though they have trampled My Laws and Decrees, I will spare a remnant of people that I am today preparing to live a new and prosperous life.
They will not have lying lips, nor will they defraud their neighbour, they will care for one another with My Law and My Love in their hearts.
Who are they who are being prepared by the Lord of Lords, they are the ones who today are trusting in Me to form them, even in these troubling times, they forsake pleasures and deny themselves for My sake.
They present themselves at My Altar and I feed them with My very Self, that their faith may mature and grow daily stronger, and bring others into My Kingdom by their example.
In trusting Me, they have overcome fears and lethargy that has threatened to render them all into inactivity, which would make them useless to Me in the cause for Salvation, especially in their families.
At times there may be overwhelming fears as you see the evil in the world, even as you will see that corruption will have entered into My Church.
Satan has spread his influence everywhere, the good is now seen as bad, and what is bad seen as good, new technologies have taken over and no one pays any attention to each other, only vain, useless facts and frivolous communications are seen as necessity.
Especially the youth, are vulnerable finding that they cannot live without the latest technologies, which immobilize them who find that they are indispensable in their lives, God is not thought of if at all.
I will not hold your transgressions against you, for the evil one has indeed blinded many who I am now forming, ready to inhabit the New Jerusalem.
I will reign as Lord and there will be peace and security, unity and harmony will exist and no deceitful nor violent persons shall inhabit this place.
I will call you by name, you who are trusting Me, and your task to follow Me will seem simple, as if you were just along for the ride, your obedience to Me will bring you to victory by graces supplied.
At certain times, My Holy Spirit will be made known to you, you will sense His Presence in you, it may be a time when you will be called to martyrdom, or to a great faith in an act of courage.
Live your life today as if it were your last day, I am wanting to accomplish much through your obedient life that you are giving to Me, be attentive to the times for much evil prevails, I will protect you.

Hello! I was trying to discern the authenticity of Fr Sam's messages. It is the 1st time I have read them, or heard of him. I found one of your posts from April 23, 2010
"Father Sam Johnston Needs Your Prayers." Obviously he survived the cancer.
Can you provide a little background and if his messages are in good standing?
Blessings
Fr Chris
Hi Father Chris
All of the messages that directors of Father Sam receive are posted at his own site.
http://frsamjohnston.blogspot.com/
On that site we have a header that we were required by the Diocese of London to put on the site.
THIS BLOG IS ABOUT MESSAGES RECEIVED BY DIRECTEES OF FATHER MARTIN (SAM) JOHNSTON, A RETIRED BUT VERY ACTIVE AND FAITHFUL PRIEST OF THE DIOCESE OF LONDON, ONTARIO. THE MESSAGES PRESENTED HERE HAVE ALL BEEN REVIEWED BY HIM. THIS BLOG REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF FATHER JOHNSTON AND IS NOT THE TEACHING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OR THE DIOCESE OF LONDON
I have known Father Sam, who resides in Ridgetown Ontario, for many years, and several years back was aware that he had been the spiritual director for a woman who had passed away, and had received a weekly message purportedly from Jesus. I offered to put them on the Internet for him so others might read them for inspiration. That was the start of the blog web site linked above
Around that time, a second woman started receiving messages, which continues to this day. These are very consistent with those received by the precious woman. I have met the second woman and can attest to her faithfulness and sincerity in her desire to accomplish the will of God in her life.
Father Sam, at over 91, is remarkably healthy for a man of his age, though he has a heart issue that will require surgery soon. That not withstanding he has recently returned from 10 days in Medjugorje, where he goes twice per year to hear confessions.
Father Sam spends considerable time with each message, reviewing word for word and line by line to ensure they are true to the Gospels. To the best of my knowledge he has never found anything objectionable.
The position of the local Church is the norm of prudence, and when we were required to put the disclaimer above noted on the site, we thought it to be reasonable.
If there is anything further you wish to know, you may contact me directly at mbrandon8026@gmail.com
God Bless You.
