Based upon what you posted, a couple of questions.

You said: “God doesn't work like that these days”.

You seem to be saying that He did “work like that” at one time, though, so...

1) Why did He stop?

2) What is He doing now instead?

1) Because of sin and the hardness of men's hearts.

And so people would not have their ears "tickled" by apparitions [a ghost or ghostlike image of a person] claiming to be "Christ Child" and "Mary" plus other various entities such as those called up in a seance.

2) He sent Jesus, our (High) Priest, as the mediator between God and man.

When Jesus came and fulfilled the law, he became our advocate and brother and it is Him we can go to whenever we wish or feel we need to.

We confess our sins directly to Him and he forgives them.

Plus we can talk to him as if we are talking to our Father, God.

Jesus said He and the Father are one. See the New Testament for verification.

“See the New Testament for verification.”

Excellent source from what I’ve heard...

Another interesting post! Thank you.

I think you'll have trouble with this, but it's from that same book. See what you think:

   Jesus, someone mentioned some time ago to me that you will
give no more signs, You said it to the Pharisees; he said this when I
said that this guidance (message) is from You.

   Vassula, when I said this to the Pharisees I meant My miracles of
the time I was in flesh and among them; condemning Me now, for it is
to condemn My Heavenly Works, shows how arid and closed their
hearts have become; My signs will never end; My Presence will be felt
in the world and I will continue to show Myself in signs;

   believe, believe O men of little faith, do not distort My Word, for
what have you to say about Fatima; are you dreading to believe that I
am the One who gave you this sign? O men of little faith, what would
you not declare rather than accept that Heaven’s signs are from Me!
love my My Works, accept My Works; believe, believe in Me, I, who am
Infinite Wealth and Mercy; My signs are so that all men see that Love
has not forgotten you; Love has not withdrawn and glories in His
Glory; Love is among you, never leaving you;

~Jesus, May 28, 1987 True Life in God

See what I mean? Your thoughts and that are about 180 out of phase.

Fascinating!
