Summary
Join us as we hear from Dr. Christine Bacon as she shares her story of how she became a prophet and how she stood for the sacred standards that God has placed in place in her life. The Sacred Standards is a ministry that is so needed in the church today and one that is probably misunderstood because it is about fidelity to your marriage vows, even when your husband or wife no longer are with you and have chosen to leave you and join someone else.

the final battle between God and man, between the church and the Antichrist, would be for marriage
00:00:08.160
and family. Hello, my friends, and welcome to the John Henry Weston Show, where I have a very
00:00:14.760
special guest who is probably known to many of you. Dr. Christine Bacon is with us, and she does a
00:00:21.800
show that, as ours is, sometimes filled with prophecy from Fatima to the present day. Many
00:00:28.520
people have tuned into her to see what heaven is speaking. But she has this ministry, which is
00:00:35.680
incredible, about standing for marriage. They're called the Sacred Standards, and we're going to
00:00:44.480
hear about that because it's a ministry that's so needed in the church today. It's one that is
00:00:50.160
probably misunderstood because it's about fidelity to your marriage vows, even when your husband or
00:00:57.920
your wife, who remain your husband or wife, by the way, no longer are with you and have chosen to
00:01:04.220
leave you and join themselves to someone else, perhaps. And Christine is not about, oh, that's
00:01:12.700
okay. We'll be able to go on and have, you know, there might be an Amoris Laetitia way for you
00:01:21.000
forward. It's not about that. It's about remaining faithful, standing faithful despite the hardships.
00:01:30.100
You're going to want to stay tuned to this show because it might very well give you the answer
00:01:34.640
you need, and it might change the rest of your life. Dr. Christine Bacon, so good to be with you.
00:01:39.720
Thank you, John Henry. I'm always honored. You're my favorite news person. Thank you for the work you
00:01:45.220
are doing. Speaking truth. We're in the same business. Amen. Let's begin as we always do with
00:01:49.960
the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:57.680
So, Christine, tell us a little bit about this work. I think a lot of our fans will know you for
00:02:03.260
your prophecy work, but in this area, they won't. How did you get to this, and what do you do?
00:02:08.900
I'm going to tell it as short as I can. I got married in 1983. I was very happy. I left my husband,
00:02:15.000
in 1987. I had an affair. We were apart four years. We got back together by God's grace.
00:02:21.560
So, it's funny. I realized my husband was the original stander, and we never knew it.
00:02:25.600
And I struggled in my marriage for many, many years. So, I went back to college, and I got my
00:02:30.640
bachelor's, master's, PhD, all in marriage communication. And my PhD, my doctoral dissertation
00:02:36.940
was humor as a communication strategy in military marriage. I studied everything about the happy parts
00:02:42.920
of marriage humor. But there was one question on that survey that had nothing to do with humor,
00:02:47.300
and it simply said, rate your marriage. It was a seven-point scale from extremely unhappy
00:02:51.840
to extremely happy and perfect. And I was shocked that over 35% of people checked the extremely happy
00:02:59.560
box, and nine even checked perfect, what I'm thinking. But that's crazy. I wasn't even checking
00:03:04.320
the happy box yet. So, after I cried at my keyboard, and I wondered what they had that was different,
00:03:10.460
and the Lord said, go find out. So, I started interviewing those, what I call supercouples,
00:03:15.340
to find out if there was a formula or if it was accidental. There absolutely was a formula. I
00:03:20.980
praised God. The formula, and now here's the connection with sacred, S-A-C-R-E-D. That's why
00:03:26.600
we're the sacred standards. And so, you know, my book, The Supercouple, talks about that formula
00:03:31.800
for extreme happiness. And as I realized sacred, selflessness, attentiveness, communication,
00:03:37.660
respect, encouragement, deliberateness, it not only covered intact marriages, it covered
00:03:44.260
marriages that were broken apart as well, if you want to win your spouse back. So, as I was finishing
00:03:50.260
up that book, and I won't give too many details, my marriage was getting really good because we
00:03:56.180
practiced the sacred formula. But then my daughter left her husband, and it was as if Satan was saying,
00:04:02.380
I can't win this marriage anymore, let me move on to another. And my son-in-law came to me, he's like,
00:04:07.900
what do I do? What do I do? I want to continue to stay married. And so, that actually was the birth
00:04:15.760
of sacred standards, though I didn't realize it yet. There was another man at my church who the Lord
00:04:21.160
said, go talk to him. His wife has just left him. The funny thing is, is I knew his wife, but I didn't
00:04:26.700
know him. I didn't even know what he looked like. But the Lord said, go. And I was like, Lord, he goes,
00:04:31.020
go. He didn't sound exactly like that, but. So, I found this man, and I said, do you want to reconcile
00:04:36.700
your marriage? And he's like, who are you? And of course I do, but she needs to want to. And the
00:04:43.020
boldness the Lord gave me, I really have, I'm not a saint, but I see myself as the Joan of Arc for marriage
00:04:51.160
because I want to be as courageous as Joan. And the Lord gave me the words to say, well, we don't need
00:04:56.280
her to want to reconcile. As long as you want to reconcile, it's very possible. Which was intriguing
00:05:01.760
to him, and intriguing to another woman who was a friend. And the Lord said, have a meeting. Have a
00:05:07.480
meeting. And I said, why would people want, I'm arguing with God because I didn't want to do this.
00:05:12.860
Why would people want to meet in my living room and talk about this most painful part of their lives?
00:05:18.820
And yet, he said, do it very lovingly. Good father. So, the four of us met in my living room,
00:05:24.360
August of 2016. And it ended up being such an edifying meeting. They asked if they could meet
00:05:31.000
the next month. And we met each month after that, since 2016. We got up to about 25 people because
00:05:38.580
we now, our reputation was getting out and local people were asking to come. And then some people
00:05:43.560
in Ohio, Bay McFarland's group, found out and they said, can we conference call in? Sure, why not?
00:05:49.680
So, it was growing. But people, John Henry, had this desire, this need inside their souls. I need
00:06:00.100
someone to understand what I'm going through. And we were that community. And then COVID hit.
00:06:05.940
I had to find Zoom, and God exploded it. And we are now over 500 people from every state and 10
00:06:14.540
countries. And we meet monthly. Sometimes we meet once a year, still at my house, for those who can
00:06:21.980
come from around the country. And we fight to reconcile our marriages. But here's the thing.
00:06:30.600
We have to get to this point, John Henry, and I apologize for doing so much talking. I'll turn it
00:06:34.800
back over to you. We want to reconcile our marriages. And that's why we join the group. And by the way,
00:06:43.120
I say we, even though I'm about to celebrate my 42nd wedding anniversary, and my husband and I are
00:06:48.660
happily married. So, praise God. But we have to get to the point, and this is what the Lord has given me,
00:06:54.380
and I so humbly have been, you know, elected as their leader by the Holy Spirit, is the phrase I say
00:07:01.520
to them is, if your spouse never comes back, are you still going to stand? Are you still going to choose
00:07:07.380
God? And when we get to that point, that's when we are fully surrendered. We are finally like,
00:07:13.080
I am a stander, regardless of the outcome. So, there's so much more I could say, but I'll leave
00:07:18.900
it up to you at this point. Wow. Beautiful. Well, one of the things I really want to talk about is
00:07:24.700
actually this list you presented just before the show started. It was the 25 rules for standers.
00:07:33.840
What are those? And tell me why they're so powerful. This is one of the things that people
00:07:38.160
love about your movement. What is it, and where can they find it?
00:07:44.440
So, first of all, my website is breakfastwithbacon.com. That's the name of my podcast that I have,
00:07:50.940
apart from the one that I do with Christine Watkins, which is Find Your Way Home. And this one,
00:07:56.320
I talk a lot, still about some prophetic things, but a lot of marriage things, purgatory,
00:08:00.800
so kind of cross over there. And there are some Protestant standards organizations out there. Shout
00:08:07.480
out to Charlene Steinkamp, who she and her husband saved many marriages after their reconciliation.
00:08:13.220
They started theirs, Rejoice Marriage Ministries. And I had the Holy Spirit download what I'm about
00:08:20.820
to read to you, some of them. And I uploaded it to Charlene Steinkamp's website. Actually, I sent it to
00:08:26.640
them, and they published it. And that's when people started just coming. Because here's another thing,
00:08:31.480
before I give you any of the rules. People are always told to love, but are never told how to love.
00:08:38.580
They're told, you know, stand for your marriage. Well, how do I do that? And one of the gifts God gave
00:08:44.500
me is to give practical ways of doing it. And so, as the Lord was downloading, He was giving me Bible
00:08:51.680
verses and saying, here are the rules. So, do you mind if I read a couple of them, then?
00:08:57.960
So, the first one, John Henry, I think is the most important. It said,
00:09:02.160
never respond to hatred and anger with hatred and anger. I'm not going to give you all the Bible
00:09:08.020
verses, because if you go to my website, you'll see that after every one of these, there's at least
00:09:12.320
one Bible verse associated. So, with this one, Luke 6, 27 through 28, and Ephesians 4, 31 through 38.
00:09:19.400
But you think about this. We are not fighting against our spouses. Our spouses are not the
00:09:24.380
enemies. Our spouses are like prisoners of war, trapped in some kind of cage, and they're trying
00:09:31.080
to escape. They fell in a trap. They got caught. Satan is the captor. So, Satan knows how to latch
00:09:38.120
onto hatred and anger. So, if you lob some kind of nasty comment to your spouse who's just said
00:09:44.860
something nasty to you, Satan can chew on that, and he can take you towards hell. So, if your spouse
00:09:51.520
says something nasty to you, and by the way, these standards rules, as I said to you before we went on
00:09:56.320
the air, cover anyone with a prodigal, whether you have a child on drugs, or a prodigal sibling, or
00:10:01.960
any estranged family member or friend. These rules work, because we're talking about prodigals,
00:10:07.760
and we are to be more like the prodigal father. So, if a spouse sends me a nasty text message like,
00:10:14.500
you're just the worst spouse ever. I'm so glad I left you. And have the kids ready at six o'clock
00:10:20.940
when I get there. I teach them to ignore the nasty parts and just say, little Johnny and Jenny will be
00:10:27.620
ready. And by the way, I have, I made some chili, and I'm going to send it out with them. Because,
00:10:33.580
you know, chili's your spouse's favorite meal. Now, whether he or she receives the chili,
00:10:39.940
or even hears your words, they are stymied, because Satan can't latch onto kindness and love.
00:10:48.480
And he just, he scratches his head. He's like, what do I do with that? What do I do with that?
00:10:53.460
So, teaching that is actually, I'm sure everybody watching has an example of someone who's been nasty
00:10:59.040
to them. It disempowers Satan. And, and you win. First of all, you recognize Satan in it right
00:11:06.840
away, which is amazing, because that's actually what it is. Even though the other party really
00:11:12.580
probably doesn't know it. But everything in you says respond in kind. How in the world do you not
00:11:20.140
do that? Well, you have to recognize it is your flesh, or your spirit. And when your flesh wins,
00:11:26.840
your spirit loses. And when your spirit wins, your flesh loses. And so many people that are
00:11:32.720
attracted to this ministry have, at some point, like you, and I don't even have to ask you, but I
00:11:39.080
know you've prayed a prayer that says, Lord, help me to be a better Christian, a better Catholic.
00:11:45.040
Take me to that next level. I'm ready. And so, I know that they've prayed this. So, then I say,
00:11:50.700
do you want your flesh to win? Because God is about to take you to this next level.
00:11:56.180
And you need to strengthen your spirit in the gym, just like you would strengthen your flesh.
00:12:01.160
And it needs to win. So, they recognize that. And they're like, oh, okay, you're right. I'll be nice.
00:12:07.700
Even though they've just been super nasty to me. So, number four says, never respond as
00:12:14.300
everyone else tells you to respond. Romans 16, 17, right? Because everyone is telling us,
00:12:23.740
you deserve to be happy. Don't you let him talk to you like that. Don't you let her treat you that way.
00:12:31.280
Well, everyone else, John Henry, is not often educated in truth. So, we are to be good learners.
00:12:39.160
We are to be good listeners and open to learning. But you've got to be careful of who your teachers
00:12:45.020
are. And if your teachers are people who don't know the subject matter, they're going to give
00:12:50.320
you false information. So, everybody else would call your lawyer. But what would Christ do? So,
00:12:59.040
if people are saying you deserve to be happy, here's another one that they kind of get stopped
00:13:03.180
when I say it. But everyone appreciates this comment. Because it's truth. And I say,
00:13:08.820
no, you don't. You deserve to burn in hell. You are a sinner saved by grace, just like I am.
00:13:16.400
So, if you ask for what you deserve, you deserve the ugly treatment. And I'm sure it did that to you
00:13:23.200
as well. You're like, yeah, you're right. I do deserve that. So, everyone else doesn't know that.
00:13:29.500
If you have a good spiritual director, and he or she is very well formed in the faith,
00:13:35.900
well, then you might be listening to them. You should probably listen to a good and holy priest
00:13:41.200
who teaches truth on marriage. And that's a whole different subject. Because as we know,
00:13:46.860
they're not always guiding us correctly in terms of the Catholic faith. Number five, never think of
00:13:52.900
yourself as the good guy and your prodigal spouse or child or friend as the bad guy. And something
00:13:59.440
about a speck and a plank comes to mind when I see that one. Because you're a happily married man,
00:14:06.240
but I know you've been married many years. And you've probably had some fights with your beautiful
00:14:10.800
bride. And in our fights, if they're the ones that are truly at fault, they're the ones who
00:14:17.160
did the thing that caused you to be late for the event or whatever. In the case of infidelity,
00:14:25.360
or breakup and marriage, which infidelity is most often the case, we can always say that the person
00:14:31.120
is 90% at fault. But you still have 10% of the fault. So, when you look at it and go, you know what,
00:14:37.820
even though he left me, even though she left me, I'm still not a good guy. I'm a sinner. And I need to
00:14:45.200
remember that. And that John Henry will help you continue to see your spouse with eyes of love
00:14:52.880
and see them as a good guy and see them as someone who's just got lost. Might I ask you,
00:14:58.880
did you see the Chronicle of Narnia movie? You did, right? Yes. Remember the little guy,
00:15:03.640
was it Edmund was the young guy? Peter was the older one, right? Yeah. Do you remember when he met
00:15:09.280
the witch from the South? And she's like, what would you like? And he said, Turkish delight.
00:15:13.860
And he sat there and he, he just was, oh, it tastes so good. And then every sin is sweet in
00:15:20.400
the beginning. But then later we see him trapped in a jail because he's like, how did I fall for that?
00:15:25.200
So, just seeing your spouse, again, goes to my earlier analogy, they just fell in a trap of their
00:15:32.100
own sin. And so, try to see them as the good person who made a bad choice.
00:15:36.840
All of these, at least the ones so far, they all apply to a marriage that's not broken up.
00:15:43.380
Everything you do in these rules would work, so to speak, in your regular marriage. Imagine
00:15:50.720
you're not, in other words, non-separated marriage, or as you said, the relationship with your kids.
00:15:55.580
And this is why people love your examples, because they're so practical. That example of
00:16:01.760
you make the chili for them, because they love chili. You don't even say that they love the
00:16:08.360
chili. You're just packing it with them for them. That's brilliantly beautiful. It's something that,
00:16:17.780
honestly, take, I'm talking to our listeners for a second, just take that to heart, because
00:16:22.760
there's so much wisdom wrapped up in that one little thing. And it sounds little, and it's not
00:16:28.520
little. It's so much beauty. To respond with love, to take and recognize, I'm sort of jumbling all
00:16:36.300
yours together, because they form one whole, even though they're all separate rules. To recognize in
00:16:40.440
yourself the deserving of hell, and so joyfully taking that on and responding in love. Just so
00:16:48.840
beautiful. I'm sorry, I'm a little bit overwhelmed, but you go on. Go ahead.
00:16:52.400
You know, if I had to sum it up, because I've been talking about these 25 rules for nearly,
00:16:57.080
well, a decade, sadly. This is what we got from Jesus. As I read these rules, I want you to
00:17:02.260
contemplate this. What, and actually want you to think about a divorce. So for those of you watching,
00:17:08.280
and your spouse has left you, this is what Jesus did. When the offended humbles himself before the
00:17:16.340
offender, it steals every power. It becomes the most Christ-like you can ever be, because Jesus was
00:17:28.080
offended. When Jesus was on that cross, he saw the affair I had had. It's 1986. And he humbled himself
00:17:35.320
before me. And just having come off of Divine Mercy Sunday, I could just cry. And he humbled himself
00:17:42.360
before sex traffickers who are hurting children right now. And he humbled himself before the greatest
00:17:49.200
of sinners. He was offended. And so he stole all of Satan's power. And this is what God is allowing me
00:17:56.780
in sacred standards to teach to you and to everyone. Again, I apply specifically to marriage.
00:18:04.400
But we have to learn to humble ourselves before our offenders. It leaves them completely powerless,
00:18:11.400
and we are most like Christ when we're doing that. Isn't that amazing?
00:18:17.180
It is. And this is that weird reversal. It is the power of God in humility. And that is,
00:18:25.060
it sounds insane in the world, but when you explain it like that, it actually makes sense. And that first
00:18:31.040
example just is so powerful. The idea that you can strip from, and it is true, you see it build.
00:18:39.260
If you respond in kind, if you respond with the anger, it's just an avalanche. But you just remove
00:18:46.060
it with love. And boy, even if they try again and again, you must have stories of heroic spouses who
00:18:55.520
have not only once, but they come back with anger anyway, despite friendly responses. How do you
00:19:01.400
Oh my gosh. I remind them that the grace that they are bringing their spouse closer to God,
00:19:07.480
closer to heaven, and their spouse doesn't yet realize it. But what, there's also this spark,
00:19:12.280
because the offending spouse sees it. And my favorite word is befuddled. Because I've just
00:19:19.260
been nasty to you. You've just been loving to me. And I'm just like, why? Which then, John Henry,
00:19:25.980
because you're being like Christ, and Christ is love, and love is the most attractive force on
00:19:30.320
earth, it attracts you to your prodigal spouse, whether they want it or not. It's crazy. It's
00:19:39.280
logical. If I'm being like Christ, they're attracted to me and they don't want to be. And so I find them
00:19:46.180
wanting to talk to the spouses more often, or find out what's going on, or they'll sit together at the
00:19:55.160
baseball game of their child, or in the past they sat separately. And so I'll see all these crazy
00:20:00.460
things happen. I have one stander, and I know he watches the show. He actually got stitches in his
00:20:10.520
hand, and he told the doctor not to give him anesthesia. And he said he wanted to offer every
00:20:16.580
pain up for his prodigal spouse. She was affected by that, whether she knows it or not. First of all,
00:20:26.580
because they're one flesh. And Father Robert Altier's book describes that wonderfully. If you've
00:20:32.540
not had him on, you should. But he said there's actually the soul, the souls have been tied together.
00:20:39.880
So if my soul and my husband's soul are tied together, one person pulls one way, it's necessarily
00:20:45.200
going to affect the other. And so one of the things I do, and I have fantastic mentors now in my group
00:20:51.800
that help in the small groups, is that's what we do is we teach people that everything you do when you
00:20:58.600
are in a covenant marriage, when you're in a true marriage, affects your spouse. And if you're truly
00:21:03.560
a Catholic, if you're truly a Christian, and you're going to put your money where your mouth is,
00:21:07.660
every single prayer has a equal and opposite reaction. You pray hard, there's a hard reaction
00:21:16.320
to it. We just have to be people of faith and say, well, just because you don't see it with your
00:21:20.600
eyes, so what? God answers every prayer and immediately. And so when I and my team start
00:21:28.560
training new standards that this is what's happening, it's actually a lesson in their faith
00:21:34.640
going, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. I guess I have to believe what I've been preaching
00:21:39.440
all these years. The most repeated phrase in scripture is do not be afraid. We are called
00:21:46.380
to speak the truth, to proclaim the gospel, and to live our lives without fear. For the past three
00:21:52.980
years, we've brought this mission to the very heart of the church. At the Rome Life Forum, you won't
00:21:59.820
just hear truth proclaimed. You'll have the chance to ask your questions directly to the speakers.
00:22:05.440
This is your opportunity to engage, to challenge, and to go deeper into the battles we face today.
00:22:17.420
One of the things that happens, especially today, is that even in the church, I might even say
00:22:25.060
especially in the church, you're encouraged. If you're in a situation where your spouse has left
00:22:30.700
and it is their fault or partially your fault, but it's their fault, whatever, you're right away
00:22:38.180
encouraged to, and I'm talking even for Catholics, the whole divorce thing, now that we're post-Amoris
00:22:45.540
de Tizia, sadly to say, it really does seem like a Catholic form of divorce. That's sort of,
00:22:51.060
yeah, it's okay at some point, you know, and it's all good. How do you fight that? Because I know you
00:22:58.780
do, and it's one of those things that it really does put you sometimes on the seemingly the outskirts
00:23:05.480
of the church, even. One of the things that I want to do and what our group is trying to do
00:23:10.220
is we're trying to get a standards ministry in every church. I did a video once that said,
00:23:17.100
replace your divorce care with a standards ministry. Because, and even if there's good
00:23:24.260
priests and bad priests, right, but for both, they have nothing. And so the first thing our priests
00:23:31.300
are taught are, we'll get an annulment. And so we have to go teach them that the pain doesn't go away
00:23:39.540
and just because you get an annulment. And so one of the things, one of the facets of what we do
00:23:45.360
is educate, educate. And I would love to get in front of seminarians. I'd love to get in front of
00:23:50.920
our deacons because those are the ones that work most closely with couples that are breaking apart
00:23:56.440
and struggling. The ones that aren't breaking apart, but just struggling. If they understand the truth
00:24:01.540
of what marriage is, and if you have just one person saying you can make this work, people latch
00:24:10.140
onto that. I've had many, many, many, many people say to me, my spouse has left me or is leaving me.
00:24:16.380
And this person, this person, this person, and this person all said to move on. But one person said,
00:24:21.840
no, you can do this. And ironically, John Henry, they latch onto that one person because they want
00:24:27.280
hope that their marriage is true and valid and worth fighting for and that possible to fight for.
00:24:34.660
And I know it's a little bit of a diversion from what you asked me, but this is what we have to try
00:24:41.720
to do is get this into churches. And I want to say something that I don't want to forget to say
00:24:47.980
is that people watching, I need you to support standards. And here's why.
00:24:55.320
With the over 500 people we have in our group, and it's just one group, right? We have said,
00:25:03.380
I have said that standing is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do apart from perhaps the
00:25:09.760
death of a child. And that's because when your child dies, you can cry about it 10 years later,
00:25:16.240
and everyone will still come and hug you. If your spouse leaves you, they'll come hug you for the
00:25:21.140
first six months. But after that, they say, move on, get over yourself. You're deluded. We get called
00:25:26.460
names. We get called names from our families, from our, sometimes our children, not that often,
00:25:32.960
but our kids tainted by the world will say, oh, mom, dad, dad's happy. You may as well just go. Okay.
00:25:38.620
But that's a separate subject. So we have two women in my group alone, whose children have died.
00:25:45.820
One died at the age of 18. One died at the age of 39. And both of those women say, standing for your
00:25:51.980
marriage is harder than the death of their child. We have another man in our group who was sexually
00:25:56.740
molested by a priest for decades. And he's actually part of a class action lawsuit. And he just
00:26:01.760
got money. And it was a very despicable thing that happened to him. And he said, standing for my
00:26:08.200
marriage is more painful than the sexual abuse perpetrated upon me by that priest. And lastly,
00:26:14.140
have another woman who chimed up at our last meeting and said, I have stage four cancer and
00:26:21.260
standing for my marriage is harder. I just want everyone to know that. That's how hard it is
00:26:28.220
because we're going against not only a secular culture, but we're going against a Christian
00:26:33.240
culture that has begun to accept divorce is just a thing. My own father had to deal with himself
00:26:39.220
after my mom left when I was 18. And so it was something that I'm used to seeing in my own
00:26:49.060
family. But basically, you're still married, but not by anyone else's standard. Your group, though,
00:26:58.200
even though it is made up of people standing, has actually had some reconciliations through the
00:27:06.120
process of what you're doing. Tell me about that. Well, we've had, and these are the ones I've
00:27:11.180
counted because a lot of people, once they've gotten the nourishment from the group, once they've
00:27:17.440
surrendered and like, I'm standing till the day I die, regardless, some of them don't need sacred
00:27:23.380
standards. So they just stand on their own. So we lose contact. But of the ones that we've talked,
00:27:28.360
I've had over 38 reconciliations already of people who had once said, I will never get back with you.
00:27:35.420
I hate you. You're the worst thing that ever happened to me. And they're reconciled. They're
00:27:40.540
having children again together. We've had people who, the spouse, I think of a man over in another
00:27:47.580
country, left his wife, married the other woman, divorced the other woman because the Holy Spirit,
00:27:55.460
actually I have a couple of those, and came back to his wife. So there's several of them where the
00:28:00.460
spouse is divorced, entered into a fake second marriage, and then come back. We've had people
00:28:05.840
who have had children with the other woman or the other man, and they've come back. And so often
00:28:10.440
they've come back to God. Most of the time they've come back to God first. And that's why I tell my
00:28:15.460
standards, your job at first is to get your spouse to heaven. And if you had to choose between getting
00:28:21.120
your spouse to heaven or getting them back into your house and your bed and your marriage,
00:28:24.960
which would you pick? And as they mature in their stand, they're like, I just want my spouse in
00:28:29.560
heaven. Well, those kind of prayers, especially from someone whom with you are one flesh, they can't
00:28:35.040
be overpowered. And it's amazing because I've just seen so many relationships. I wish I could give you
00:28:43.120
the details. I wish I could give you the names and some of them will speak, but it's just wonderful
00:28:49.340
to see them then go on and their children and their family members will say to them, I never thought
00:28:55.400
that you guys would reconcile. And yet you did. And then when they have a brother-in-law that leaves
00:29:01.180
or a sister-in-law, they come to the reconciled stander or even the unreconciled stander, John Henry,
00:29:07.840
and they say, will you stand with me? What do I do? It's beautiful.
00:29:11.980
When people tell you this ministry is so sad, how do you reply?
00:29:18.480
There is a love and a joy. There's something wonderful that happens when even they come in at the beginning
00:29:25.040
of their stand. Our newbies, those are the ones that phrases have been used like just after the bomb drop
00:29:30.300
or just after they found out. They come in so raw and they just talk about, well, we'll come back.
00:29:37.660
What if there's another man? What do I do? What is he like? What does she like?
00:29:40.040
And so the team comes around them and they just circle them and they hold them. And we all say,
00:29:45.760
one of the rules of the group is you never tell people what to do. We always turn you towards the
00:29:51.420
Holy Spirit, right? So what did the Holy Spirit say to you when you asked him that question? But
00:29:55.500
we will guide them how to pray, how to ask God specific questions, get specific answers. You know,
00:30:02.280
is the Holy Spirit saying that you should go check the phone records? Maybe, maybe not. Is the Holy
00:30:07.220
Spirit saying that you should make yourself available to your spouse physically, even though
00:30:12.460
he's living with another woman when he comes to visit the kids? Maybe, maybe not. But they have
00:30:17.560
this team of people that come and wrap themselves around them and they say, you as a Catholic would
00:30:23.760
get this. We talk about the beauty of suffering. And when you can suffer from someone else, and this is
00:30:31.900
why the Catholic Church is so beautiful, offers so much, even the Protestants in the group, because
00:30:38.800
we have Protestants and Catholics, though we're mostly Catholic at this point. I even tell my
00:30:43.720
Protestants, you're latent Catholics, because Catholic Church is the only one that stands on the truth
00:30:48.940
of marriage. All the other churches have left. But they teach them that when you suffer,
00:30:57.560
you are getting souls to heaven. You are getting souls to the church. You are releasing souls from
00:31:04.440
purgatory. You are getting your spouse who, if your spouse right now died in a state of mortal sin,
00:31:10.920
because he or she is sleeping with another person, there's a good chance they're going to hell because
00:31:15.380
they're in mortal sin. But if you can offer your prayers so that they can come to heaven, you,
00:31:21.760
John Henry, I am amazed at the transformations in people's hearts when I go, they go,
00:31:27.200
I know that he's sinning against me, but I love him so much. I just want him to go to heaven.
00:31:33.220
That's the power of God that just stuns me, even today, 10, 11 years later. And I go, that's what
00:31:40.640
God did to transform you. He took the ugliest, the most hurtful thing in your life, and he made you a
00:31:47.340
person who would say, if I have to pick between my spouse or God, I pick you, Jesus, and have joy.
00:31:53.880
It's amazing. This ministry is for more than just marriages.
00:31:59.720
Stunning. How did you get to what you're very well known for, the work in prophecy? How does this
00:32:08.740
So that's a really wonderful question because my work with Countdown to the Kingdom and Christine
00:32:14.100
Watkins and Mark and Daniel, and I always felt like the least of these because they're so smart and
00:32:20.400
they're journalists and philosophers and trained theologians. And I have a PhD, I get it. But
00:32:26.960
what the Lord spoke to me within the past couple of years, he actually said to me, for those of you
00:32:33.420
watching, I know your viewers know this, but Cardinal Kafara had spoken to Pope St. John Paul II, who had
00:32:39.900
spoken to Lucia, one of the Fatima seers. And our lady had said to Lucia de los Santos, the final battle,
00:32:48.640
and I've heard you say this on your show, the final battle for between God and man, between the
00:32:56.040
church and the Antichrist would be for marriage and family. And so I kind of went, God has put me on
00:33:04.360
the forefront. This is it. If you are not fighting for your marriage right now, then you've got to
00:33:13.100
understand you are allowing Satan, the biggest stronghold he can get. We have got to do our part
00:33:21.140
in stopping the Antichrist from when he makes his appearance. The more divided families out there,
00:33:27.000
the better he will do. The more that we learn to fight for marriage, to fight for our sisters or our
00:33:33.640
brothers' marriages or our children's marriages. By the way, in our group, we have parent standards,
00:33:37.880
which is what I am, with people standing because they have a transgender child or spouse or something.
00:33:44.080
But this is the final battle. This is prophetic. And our eyes are open. My eyes are open. And I'm
00:33:52.180
hoping that your viewers' eyes are opened to reconcile this isn't just about some people wanting their
00:33:59.200
spouse back in their marriage. This is the final battle. And we need to do this for our children
00:34:04.500
and our grandchildren. Oh, one last thing. Some of my couples have reconciled. Their children have
00:34:12.700
gone through difficulties and they have said, articulated that they're going to fight for
00:34:17.600
their marriages too, because I saw mom and dad fight and succeed. It's amazing. It's amazing.
00:34:25.160
Christine, where can people get in touch? Where can they get your book? Where can they join your group?
00:34:29.840
So start with the easy part. You can find me at breakfastwithbacon.com. That's the name of my
00:34:35.760
podcast. I'm on YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, all the places, Instagram. And that's where you'll find
00:34:43.360
the things that I talk about, the shows I've been doing on Purgatory. I've actually been reading
00:34:47.340
out of my book, The Super Couple. You can get that book at the website as well. It's audio version as
00:34:53.640
well as the paper version there. But if you are interested in becoming a stander or finding out
00:35:01.420
more about us, you can actually go to my website, Breakfast with Bacon, because I know if you're
00:35:05.600
driving and you're listening to this or at the gym, which is when I watch all your shows, John Henry,
00:35:09.940
you're not writing anything down. Everybody always forgets my name, but they say that Breakfast with
00:35:14.680
Bacon Lady. So I'm saying it that way because you can find sacred standards at my website. But if you
00:35:20.920
want, you can go straight to sacredstanders.com. It looks like a very raw webpage, but we've kept it
00:35:28.420
that way. For the first eight years, we stayed hidden because I want you to know if you join our
00:35:34.760
group, no one can find us. No one can see our stuff. We are now putting together a front-facing website
00:35:42.180
because everything is hidden because we want to make sure you as standers are protected. You have a
00:35:49.620
community of people that will support you. And it is a small community, but you can go straight to
00:35:55.620
sacredstanders.com and scroll to the very bottom. It says new to this community, and we will vet you.
00:36:01.500
We're going to ask you, is this a first marriage for you? Is this a first marriage for your spouse?
00:36:06.020
Because if you're in a marriage and you go to Catholic Church, if you don't go to Catholic Church,
00:36:11.800
if you're Protestant, you have to understand that if your spouse has been married a second time,
00:36:17.280
we need to find out, was that a valid first marriage? And I do clearly say to people,
00:36:22.320
well, you're not married. And they're like, what? I said, well, your spouse has got a spouse.
00:36:25.900
The person you call a spouse already has a first spouse. And that's why, you know, the annulment
00:36:30.720
process is so important to go through, even though it's been scandalized and overused. Well, I'll put
00:36:35.340
that aside. So we're vetting you for your own good. And you will get to talk to me most of the time.
00:36:41.240
It's just, it'll take a little bit of time before my team gets you to me. So sacredstandards.com. And
00:36:46.820
we're going to let you in and you're going to find the most amazing God-fearing community that you have
00:36:51.560
ever found because they've taken persecution and they're still standing.
00:36:56.120
Dr. Christine Bacon, thank you so very much. I pray that this will assist many people to get to
00:37:03.900
your incredible work. Obviously a work of the Lord, where you literally try and be the example
00:37:12.800
that he was on the cross to stand and pray and plead for your own persecutors. It is a work
00:37:19.360
where you're battling this final battle between our Lord and the reign of Antichrist. It's over
00:37:25.900
marriage and the family, and you've been called to it in a most spectacular way. God bless you.
00:37:30.480
Thank you. And God bless all of you. And we'll see you next time.
