“From that time on, that place was called Beersheba. That name means water-hole where they made a promise. It was where Abraham and Abimelek made strong promises to each other.”Genesis 21:31 PEV

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Abimelech: Belligerent or Peaceful? Part 2 Series: Judges Scripture: Judges 8:33-35; 9 Episode: 1250   Scripture Overview: In Judges 8:33–35 and Chapter 9, Israel quickly turns away from God after Gideon's death, returning to idol worshipand forgetting the Lord who delivered them. They also fail to show loyalty to Gideon's family, despite his leadership. In Chapter 9, Abimelek, Gideon's son, seizes power by killing his seventy brothers and declaring himself king with the support of the people of Shechem. His reign is marked by deception, betrayal, and violence, ultimately leading to his downfall. God's justice prevails when Abimelek is killed in battle, fulfilling judgment for his evil deeds. Key themes include apostasy after leadership, corrupt ambition, and divine justice.   Sermon Summary: This sermon explores the tragic story of Abimelech in Judges 9 as a mirror for our own hearts, exposing the destructive path of ungodliness and the relentless pursuit of control. Pastor Josh shows how Abimelech's hunger for power, disregard for godliness, and violence led to his downfall—and how similar patterns often live quietly within us. Whether through anger, control, resentment, or spiritual drift, we risk losing peace and intimacy with God when we stop valuing His presence. Yet the sermon offers hope: where wickedness once reigned, Christ offers righteousness, peace, and restoration. The call is clear—kill the little Abimelech in you. Surrender control, return to godliness, and trust Jesus to do what power never can: bring true peace to your heart and soul.

Today our text, reflecting on Jesus' words from Mark 9 about those who might not be as “against us” as we might presume, comes from Genesis 20:1-18.  May God bless you as you hear his word. Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” Then Abimelek king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her. But God came to Abimelek in a dream one night and said to him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.” Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,' and didn't she also say, ‘He is my brother'? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands.” Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.” Early the next morning Abimelek summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid. Then Abimelek called Abraham in and said, “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.” And Abimelek asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?” Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.' Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. And when God had me wander from my father's household, I said to her, ‘This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”'” Then Abimelek brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him. And Abimelek said, “My land is before you; live wherever you like.”  To Sarah he said, “I am giving your brother a thousand shekels of silver. This is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated.” Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelek, his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again, for the Lord had kept all the women in Abimelek's household from conceiving because of Abraham's wife Sarah. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:     Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping, That awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep rest in his peace. May Almighty God bless, preserve, and keep us, this day and forevermore.  Amen.

Preacher: Caleb Maskell Scripture:  Genesis 26:1-6 Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham's time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, g 5 because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.” 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.

Daily Dose of Hope July 8, 2024 Day 2 of Week 15   Scripture:  Judges 9-11; Psalm 17; Luke 23   Welcome back once again to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional that complements the bible reading plan for New Hope Church.  I'm going to ask all of you to be in prayer for our Vacation Bible School, which starts today.  We will be ministering to almost 200 children and their families.  Please pray that those who don't know Jesus will come to know him, that those who just give a head nod to God will come to follow him more closely, and pray a special prayer of protection, strength, and wisdom for all our children, volunteers, and staff.  With that, let's get right into our Scripture for today.   As usual, let's begin with our Old Testament passages.  At the end of Judges 8, we see that Gideon dies and the Israelites begin to engage in idolatry once again.  The pattern is repeating itself.  This time, in Judges 9, we read about Abimelek, who is one of Gideon's sons by a concubine from Shechem (Gideon had something like seventy sons by his many wives and concubines).  In my research, several scholars actually consider Abimelek a judge of Israel but certainly not one chosen by God.  He wanted to lead Israel and does so for three years, but he is cruel and violent.  Eventually, rebellion is stirred up against Abimelek.  In his own violent quest to squash the rebellion, he is killed.    As we read this, it becomes evident how incredibly chaotic and ugly this time of the judges happened to be.  Moving into Judges 10, we meet Tola and Jair, two other judges that led Israel.  Then, it becomes clear that Israel is once again falling into depravity and idolatry.  God allows them to fall into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites.  We get the sense that a new judge is coming.    Jephthah is next.  He is a complicated judge however.  He is the son of a prostitute and a man named Gilead.  This is kind of confusing, as the father has the same name as the region in which they live.  You may have caught that.  Anyway, Gilead's sons by his legitimate wife drive Jephthah away from their home and he flees to a land named Tob, where he gains a name for himself as a warrior.    I'm going to give a bit of a summary of what happened because I think it's not incredibly clear as we read.  Basically, Israel is being oppressed pretty severely by the Ammonites and they decide to attack the region of Gilead once again.  The people are hurting but they have no leader.  Thus, they ask Jephthah, who they previously pushed away, to come lead them.  Jephthah tries to negotiate with the Ammonites first but that isn't successful.  God's Spirit comes over Jephthah and he is able to recruit fighters for the battle.  Then, he makes a horribly misguided vow.  He tells God that he will offer as a burnt offering whatever or whomever comes to meet him if he returns in victory.  Jephthah then attacks and thoroughly defeats the Ammonites, so Israel is saved for the time being.   But who comes out to meet Jephthah?  His only child, his daughter whom he dearly loves.  He is greatly distressed and tells his daughter what he vowed to God – to either give her up as a human sacrifice OR dedicate her whole life in service to God, two different interpretations by scholars of Jephthah's vow.   The daughter requests two months of freedom to travel and spend time with friends and he grants her that.  Her primary concern in not getting to marry and have kids, which makes many think that she did dedicate her life to service to God rather than become a burnt offering, which God truly would have detested.  Only pagan gods required human sacrifice.  Regardless, the whole story is slightly bizarre.   Psalm 17 is a beautiful prayer written by David.  He is once again pledging to stay faithful to God, and he asks that God protects him from his enemies.  Most likely, this prayer was penned by David as he was fleeing from Saul who wanted to kill him.  David clearly trusts God completely and knows that God will answer.  There is a great expression here when David asks to be the “apple of your eye.”  This is a reference literally to the pupil.  This part of the body is the most protected, the most guarded against even a slight touch.  David asks God to guard him in the same way.   Okay, let's move on to the New Testament.  Today, we focus on Luke 23, which includes Jesus' trial before Pilate, the crucifixion, his death, and his burial.   Crucifixion was a horrific death.  He was beaten and mocked by the soldiers, betrayed by his own people, and nailed to a cross to die. I won't go into the gory details of crucifixion, as you have probably heard them before, but it was a terribly painful and humiliating way to die.   There was a man named Simon from Cyrene who was passing by and they forced him to carry the cross.  Cyrene was on the tip of Africa so this man was far from home!  And here he was, just going about his business, and he is enlisted, or more like seized, to carry the cross of the Savior of the world.  I'm guessing that Jesus' physical body was incredibly weak and bloody by this point.  And Simon walked by him, carrying the cross that would serve to execute Jesus but also save all humanity from their sin. We don't know what happened to Simon after the crucifixion.  He isn't mentioned again in Scripture.  But my guess is that his life was never the same again.  An encounter with Jesus is always life-changing.   Luke's version of this passage has a lot of substance.  We read about the criminals executed on each side of Jesus, one of whom ends up believing and Jesus says, “Today, I will see you in paradise.”  Pretty amazing.  But Luke also includes the observation about the curtain in the temple.  When Jesus is about to breathe his last, the curtain in the temple, which separated the Holy of Holies (where God's presence stayed) from the rest of the temple was torn in two.  Only the high priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies one time a year to make atonement for the sins of the people.  This tearing of the curtain was hugely symbolic and I don't want us to miss it.  It meant that Jesus' death was the final atonement for sin and now the Holy of Holies was open to all people.  God's presence is never confined again, never to be in a place made by human hands.  Jesus Christ is God.  His body is the temple.  He is the final sacrifice and he has opened the door to all people, all believers, being able to go boldly into God's presence with no barriers.      I should also mention that now that Jesus has ascended into heaven, the presence of the living God is still with us in the form of the Holy Spirit.  And if we believe in Jesus and his sacrifice, then the Holy Spirit dwells in us.  The presence of God is now within us!  Think about that.  It's really amazing and takes some time for us to wrap our brains around.  God is closer than your very breath.   Let's chat again tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Pastor John Keating Proverbs 18:10 (NLT) - “The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Judges 9:46 (NLT) - On hearing this, the citizens in the tower of Shechem went into the stronghold of the temple of El-Berith. Judges 9:50-54 (NLT) - Next Abimelek went to Thebez and besieged it and captured it. Inside the city, however, was a strong tower, to which all the men and women— all the people of the city — had fled. They had locked themselves in and climbed up on the tower roof. Abimelek went to the tower and attacked it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire, a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull. Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say, 'A woman killed him.'" So his servant ran him through, and he died.

11 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joabout with the king's men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. 2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.” 6 So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going.8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's servants and did not go down to his house. 10 David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” So he asked Uriah, “Haven't you just come from a military campaign? Why didn't you go home?” 11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[a] and my commander Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!” 12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.13 At David's invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master's servants; he did not go home. 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.” 16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David's army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died. 18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger: “When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, 20 the king's anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelek son of Jerub-Besheth[b]? Didn't a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?' If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.'” 22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate. 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.” 25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don't let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.' Say this to encourage Joab.” 26 When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord,

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP PART 3After the death of Jerub-Baal, his son by his concubine raised up the people against his half brothers, Gideon's legitimate sons and had them all killed with the exception of one who was able to escape. That one son, Abimelek called out to the people speaking to them the story of the trees wanting a king. However, according to the story, each tree that was approached, the olive, the fig and the vine each knew their purpose and would not give it up just for the benefit of reigning over others. Basically, the trees knew their places and purpose and stayed in them. Abimelek used this proverb, the story of the trees, to reveal to the people the wrong that was done by this illegitimate brother. He wanted a place and position that he had never been ordained for or called to. And so it is with many in the body of Christ wanting to walk in positions, places and stand in spotlights they've never been ordained or called to. We are not illegitmate children so therefore we should be willing to stay in the places that God has called and ordained us for.  To hear more of this weeks message click on the buzzsprout.com link or go to your favorite podcast app and search for the title, "This Is the Voice of the Prophet.

In a repeat of his actions in Egypt, Abraham puts his wife in the precarious position of being taken by another man. Abimelek gets confronted by God. God wants people to follow His righteous ways, not their sinful worldly ways. “This is the great work of a man: always to take the blame for his own sins before God, and toexpect temptation to his last breath.” — Anthony the GreatReferenced Verses:Exodus 20:14; Hebrews 13:4; Proverbs 6:322 Samuel 12:7; 2 Samuel 12:9; 2 Samuel 12:13Mark 9:33 -34; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; Luke 16:151 John 1:9; Acts 3:19; Galatians 4:4Hebrews 11:13

Le promesse di Dio a Isacco. Isacco si ferma a Gherar. Prosperità di Isacco. Dio rinnova le sue promesse a Isacco. Alleanza con Abimelek.

Nascita di Isacco. Agar scacciata da Sara ma soccorsa da Dio. Alleanza fra Abrahamo e Abimelek a Beer-Sceba.

Abrahamo e Abimelek.

Have you ever misjudged someone? Many years ago, I started a job as a high school teacher. When I went in to organize my classroom, the school janitor saw me and sternly warned me that students should not be in the school building yet. He escorted me off the premises, refusing to believe that I was a teacher. (I looked a lot younger then!) Abimelek, the king of Gerar probably felt misjudged. In Genesis 20, Abraham acted on assumptions he made about the Canaanite king. We can understand why. Abraham was still not living in his homeland and was vulnerable to abuse and attack. He had also just discovered that there were not even ten righteous people living in Sodom (Gen. 18:32). Abraham pulled the same deception he had done before and passed off his wife Sarah as his sister (Gen. 12:10–20). Abimelek called for Sarah to become one of his wives. Yet, before the marriage was official, Abimelek was warned by God not to touch Sarah. He obeyed, and asked Abraham to explain himself. Why did Abraham continue to doubt God's protection? He knew God had promised to bless and preserve him and Sarah (Gen. 12:3; 15:1). God had promised to provide a son for Abraham through Sarah (Gen. 17:19). Surely God would not allow them to be killed before that promise was fulfilled. The fact that Abraham was not perfect reassures us. We see that the fulfillment of God's promises does not depend on our ability, talent, or reliability of His people. God chose Abraham not based on his merit, but because of grace. The same is true for us today. God sent the Lord Jesus to die for us, even though we did not deserve it. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).

Rdz. 25 (1) Abraham po raz kolejny pojął żonę. Miała na imię Ketura. (2) Urodziła mu ona Zimrana, Jokszana, Medana, Midiana, Jiszbaka i Szuacha. (3) Synami Jokszana byli Saba i Dedan. Synami Dedana byli: Aszurim, Letuszim i Leumim. (4) Synami Midiana byli natomiast: Efa, Efer, Henoch, Abida i Eldaa — ci wszyscy byli synami Ketury. (5) Abraham przekazał Izaakowi wszystko, co posiadał. (6) Natomiast synom swoich nałożnic Abraham rozdzielił dary i jeszcze za życia wyprawił ich na wschód, tak aby byli daleko od jego syna Izaaka. (7) Życie Abrahama trwało sto siedemdziesiąt pięć lat. (8) Zakończył je w pięknej starości, sędziwy i syty dni, i dołączył do swoich przodków. (9) Pochowali go jego synowie, Izaak i Ismael, w jaskini Makpela, na polu Chetyty Efrona, syna Sochara, naprzeciw Mamre, (10) na polu, które Abraham nabył od synów Cheta. Tam właśnie został pochowany Abraham i Sara, jego żona. (11) Po śmierci Abrahama Bóg błogosławił jego syna Izaaka. Zamieszkał on przy studni zwanej Studnią Żyjącego, który mnie widzi. (12) Oto dzieje rodów Ismaela, syna Abrahama, którego urodziła Abrahamowi Egipcjanka Hagar, służąca Sary. (13) To są imiona synów Ismaela, według nazw ich pokoleń. Pierworodnym Ismaela był Nebajot. Następnymi synami byli Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, (14) Miszma, Duma, Masa, (15) Chadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisz i Kedma. (16) To są imiona synów Ismaela i od nich pochodzą nazwy ich zagród i obozowisk, zarządzanych przez dwunastu książąt ich plemion. (17) Ismael dożył stu trzydziestu siedmiu lat. Po śmierci dołączył do grona swoich przodków. (18) Zamieszkiwali oni obszar od Chawili po Szur, które leży na wschód od Egiptu, idąc w kierunku Asyrii. Rozmieszczali oni swoje siedziby na przekór swoim braciom. (19) To natomiast są dzieje rodu Izaaka, syna Abrahama: Otóż Abraham był ojcem Izaaka. (20) Gdy Izaak miał czterdzieści lat, pojął za żonę Rebekę, córkę Betuela, Aramejczyka z Padan-Aram, a siostrę Aramejczyka Labana. (21) Rebeka była niepłodna, lecz Izaak wstawiał się za swą żoną do PANA i PAN dał się ubłagać — jego żona, Rebeka, poczęła. (22) W czasie ciąży dzieci walczyły w jej wnętrzu. To ją zastanawiało: Skoro już jestem w ciąży, to dlaczego mnie to spotyka? I poszła zapytać PANA. (23) PAN jej odpowiedział: Dwa narody nosisz w swoim łonie, ludy już w twoim wnętrzu podzielone. Jeden nad drugim będzie miał przewagę — starszy będzie służył młodszemu. (24) Gdy nadszedł czas rozwiązania, Rebeka rzeczywiście urodziła bliźnięta. (25) Pierwszy wyszedł cały rudy, włochaty niczym płaszcz — i nadano mu imię Ezaw. (26) Za nim pojawił się brat. Ponieważ rączką trzymał Ezawa za piętę, nazwano go Jakub. Izaak miał sześćdziesiąt lat, kiedy został ich ojcem. (27) Gdy chłopcy wyrośli, Ezaw okazał się wspaniałym łowczym, był człowiekiem otwartych przestrzeni. Jakub był spokojnego usposobienia. Trzymał się namiotów. (28) Izaak wolał Ezawa, ponieważ lubił dziczyznę, Rebeka natomiast kochała Jakuba. (29) Pewnego razu Jakub przyrządził posiłek. Ezaw akurat przyszedł z pola zmęczony. (30) Poprosił Jakuba: Daj mi się najeść tej twojej czerwonej zupy, bo padam ze zmęczenia. Dlatego nazwano go Edom. (31) Najpierw sprzedaj mi pierworództwo — odpowiedział Jakub. (32) Posłuchaj — wyrzucił z siebie Ezaw — ja umieram! Co mi po pierworództwie?! (33) Jakub nie ustępował: Więc najpierw mi przysięgnij. I Ezaw przysiągł. Sprzedał swe pierworództwo Jakubowi! (34) Wtedy Jakub podał Ezawowi chleb oraz potrawę z soczewicy — ten zaś jadł i pił, i wstał, i poszedł. I tak pogardził Ezaw pierworództwem. Rdz. 26 (1) W kraju zaś nastał głód, inny niż ten pierwszy, za czasów Abrahama. Izaak udał się więc do Abimeleka, króla filistyńskiego, do Geraru. (2) Wtedy ukazał mu się PAN: Nie idź do Egiptu! Mieszkaj w ziemi, o której ci mówię. (3) Przebywaj w niej, a będę z tobą i będę ci błogosławił, ponieważ dam ją tobie i twojemu potomstwu i dochowam przysięgi, którą złożyłem twojemu ojcu Abrahamowi. (4) Twoje potomstwo rozmnożę jak gwiazdy na niebie, dam mu też wszystkie te ziemie i w twoim potomstwie będą sobie błogosławić wszystkie narody ziemi, (5) dlatego że Abraham słuchał mojego głosu i przestrzegał moich poleceń, przykazań, ustaw i pouczeń. (6) W ten sposób Izaak zamieszkał w Gerarze. (7) A gdy mieszkańcy tego miasta pytali o jego żonę, odpowiadał: Ona jest moją siostrą. Bał się mówić: To moja żona. Bo — myślał — jeszcze mnie tutejsi mężczyźni zabiją z powodu Rebeki, gdyż jest piękna z wyglądu. (8) A gdy przebywał tam dłuższy czas, zdarzyło się, że Abimelek, król filistyński, wyglądał przez okno i zobaczył, jak Izaak pieści swoją żonę, Rebekę. (9) Wezwał więc Abimelek Izaaka i wyrzucił mu: Przecież to twoja żona! Dlaczego utrzymywałeś, że to twoja siostra? Izaak wyznał: Rzeczywiście tak mówiłem, abym z jej powodu nie został zabity. (10) Wtedy Abimelek powiedział: Co też ty nam uczyniłeś? Niewiele brakowało, a ktoś z ludu przespałby się z twoją żoną i ściągnąłbyś na nas winę. (11) Następnie Abimelek przestrzegł cały lud: Ktokolwiek dotknąłby tego człowieka lub jego żonę, będzie musiał zginąć. (12) Tego roku Izaak obsiał pola w kraju swego pobytu i zebrał stokrotne plony — PAN mu błogosławił. (13) Dzięki temu wzbogacił się, był coraz zamożniejszy, aż stał się bardzo bogaty. (14) Posiadał stada owiec i bydła oraz liczną służbę. Filistyńczycy zaczęli mu zazdrościć. (15) Dlatego zasypali wszystkie studnie, które wykopali słudzy jego ojca za czasów Abrahama. (16) W końcu Abimelek zwrócił się do Izaaka: Odejdź od nas, bo stałeś się o wiele mocniejszy niż my. (17) Odszedł więc stamtąd Izaak i rozłożył się obozem w dolinie Geraru. (18) Po przybyciu na miejsce Izaak odkopał studnie z czasów jego ojca Abrahama, które po jego śmierci Filistyńczycy zasypali. Przywrócił im też nazwy nadane przez jego ojca. (19) Gdy pewnego razu słudzy Izaaka szukali wody w dolinie, wykopali studnię, z której woda płynęła jak ze źródła. (20) Wtedy pasterze Geraru zaczęli spierać się z pasterzami Izaaka. To nasza woda! — wołali. Dlatego Izaak nadał tej studni nazwę Sprzeczka. (21) O kolejną studnię, którą wykopali jego słudzy, też wybuchł spór, stąd Izaak nazwał ją Wrogość. (22) W końcu Izaak przeniósł się stamtąd i wykopał kolejną studnię. O tę już sporu nie było, nazwał ją więc Szeroka, mówiąc: Teraz PAN poszerzył nasze granice i zakwitniemy w tej ziemi. (23) Po pewnym czasie jednak wyruszył stamtąd Izaak w górę do Beer-Szeby. (24) Tej nocy ukazał mu się PAN: Ja jestem Bogiem Abrahama, twego ojca — powiedział. — Nie bój się, bo Ja jestem z tobą. Będę ci błogosławił i rozmnożę twoje potomstwo ze względu na Abrahama, mego sługę. (25) Izaak zbudował tam ołtarz, przy którym wzywał imienia PANA. Rozbił tam też swój namiot, a jego słudzy wykopali tam studnię. (26) Wówczas przybyli do niego z Geraru Abimelek, Achuzat, jego doradca, i Pikol, dowódca wojska. (27) Dlaczego do mnie przyszliście? — zapytał ich Izaak. — Przecież mnie nienawidzicie, wypędziliście mnie od siebie. (28) A oni wyjaśnili: Widzieliśmy wyraźnie, że jest z tobą PAN. Pomyśleliśmy zatem, by związać się z tobą przysięgą. Chcemy zawrzeć z tobą przymierze. (29) Chcielibyśmy być pewni, że nie uczynisz nam nic złego, tak jak i my nie skrzywdziliśmy ciebie, lecz świadczyliśmy ci tylko dobro i odprawiliśmy cię w pokoju. Ty więc teraz jesteś błogosławiony przez PANA. (30) Wtedy Izaak wyprawił dla nich ucztę. Jedli razem i pili. (31) Następnego dnia wstali wcześnie rano i złożyli sobie przysięgi, po czym Izaak odprawił ich i odeszli od niego w pokoju. (32) Tego samego dnia słudzy Izaaka przyszli i donieśli, że wykopali studnię: Znaleźliśmy wodę! — powiedzieli. (33) Izaak nazwał ją Przysięga. Dlatego nazwa miasta do dziś brzmi Beer-Szeba, czyli Studnia Przysięgi. (34) Gdy Ezaw miał czterdzieści lat, pojął za żonę Jehudit, córkę Chetyty Beeriego, oraz Basemat, córkę Chetyty Elona. (35) Były one dla Izaaka i dla Rebeki powodem wielu zmartwień. Nauczanie z dnia 14 stycznia 2024

Is there a position of status that you are eager to reach – regardless of what it takes? Remember, if it isn't a place God has chosen for you, success will not bring you peace. Show Notes: ⁠Episode 73 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

While at a water park with some friends, we attempted to navigate a floating obstacle course made of inflatable platforms. The bouncy, slippery platforms made walking straight almost impossible. As we wobbled our way across ramps, cliffs, and bridges, we found ourselves yelping as we fell unceremoniously into the water. After completing one course, my friend, completely exhausted, leaned on one of the “towers” to catch her breath. Almost immediately, it buckled under her weight, sending her hurtling into the water. Unlike the flimsy towers at the water park, in Bible times, a tower was a stronghold for defense and protection. Judges 9:51 describes how the people of Thebez fled to “a strong tower” to hide from Abimelek’s attack on their city. In Proverbs 18:10 (nkjv), the writer used the image of a strong tower to describe who God is—the One who saves those who trust Him. Sometimes, however, rather than lean on the strong tower of God when we're tired or beaten down, we seek other things for safety and support—a career, relationships, or physical comforts. We’re no different from the rich man who looked for strength in his wealth (v. 11). But just as the inflatable tower couldn't support my friend, these things can't give us what we really need. God—who's all-powerful and in control of all situations—provides true comfort and security.

By Faith, part 8. Abraham repeats his mistake of lying about his wife to a pagan King, Abimelek, but he does so out of fear and unbelief in the Goodness of God. By Clive Cernik.

Isacco e Rebecca: la moglie-sorella, Abimelec e altri guai (Gen 26). La storia della moglie sorella, in questa pagina della Bibbia, si ripete per la terza volta. Ma c'è un motivo...

In this Bible Story, Israel desires for a king eventually choosing Abimelech, who ruled over Israel with a cruel fist. When he was seeking to burn down a tower in the middle of a city, a woman dropped a millstone on his head killing him. This story is inspired by Judges 9. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Judges 9:15 from the King James Version.Episode 64: Gideon ruled as a judge over Israel for 40 peaceful years, and during that time he had 70 sons. However, one of his sons wanted to be king, and after the death of his father, Abimelek killed all of his brothers…except one. Jotham, the youngest son escaped and gave a scathing rebuke to the people of Shechem who supported the slaughter of his brothers. In that rebuke, he reminds both them and us that if we, in pride and selfish motives, commit such evil, we will receive the consequences of that evil back on our own lives.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

In this episode, we see Abraham once again struggling with Faith and hurting Abimelek's family in the process.

God's intervention to protect Sarah, Abraham, and Abimelek from sinning even with good intentions. Abraham tells Abimelek a little white lie that he is the brother of Sarah, which is true while leaving out that Sarah is also his wife. Abimelek took Sarah as his wife, and God intervened to give him a death threat and a curse on his household if he took Sarah as his wife. Abimelek obeyed God, and he and his household were healed, and God opened the wombs of his servants. This story shows God's intervening after people sin and redeems them back to Him. God controls fertility and can ordain the outcome of what he intends for us. People's hearts are sick, and God is always offering his salvation. Thus, all the biblical stories are God's handiwork and promise to show all sin and his plan for their redemption. Otherwise, they are lost and dead in their souls. God loves his creation and wants to bless all nations and their people. Abraham is tested to obey God when asked to sacrifice his only beloved son, a typology of Jesus. He obeyed God to prove his faith and blessed Abraham to fulfill his promise.Video at https://youtu.be/r-0bcZI6h4AArticle at https://www.savedandloved.com/post/130-genesis-20-22-sacrifice-of-isaac***********Support MrE and his channel at:Apocalypse Watchman by MrE, https://www.bitchute.com/channel/apocalypse_watchman/MrE, https://odysee.com/@MrE:cDonate to MrE at PayPal.me/mrehistoryPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mremedia***********Multiple ways to support my work:My books: https://www.savedandloved.com/shopDonate to my site: https://www.savedandloved.com/donateBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/savedandlovedDonate at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SavedAndLoved31

Faction Cannot Prevail (4)      (audio) David Eells – 7/5/23  Word From The Lord  Debbie Fenske 6/29/23   I want to share a word Jesus shared with me early this morning as I was sitting before Him, praying, and just waiting on Him. I heard Him speak a couple thoughts to me. After writing down the second thought Jesus just kept speaking this encouraging word.   “Many, so many who have, in the past, been a part of UBM, are beginning now to understand the evil, and the dangers of faction. The truth that they are receiving from Me is instilling a holy fear within them. This is why I rise up in David, My servant, moving within him to keep talking and warning about this. It has been imperative for him to do so, for faction is a disease, killing many. So many who have not understood this are now finally listening, and repenting, and many will return to My ministry of UBM to receive truth once again. For they are aware of the great deadness of their spiritual womb. My truth, and a holy fear of Me will produce life in them once again.   My servant, David, must not stop speaking about these things. For I will have My way, which is revealing to all I have chosen, the true condition of their hearts. My truth will break out again like a wildfire through the mouth of My servant, for My anointing will not leave him. And My anointed chosen will soon be revealed, and many, many blind eyes will be opened, and the deaf ears will hear. Hearts will be healed, and they will rush under the presence of My anointing, and will grow, and will with much Joy, and spiritual vigor, produce much fruit which will come forth from My life within them.  My provision, in every way, will flow once again. Press in, and I will give abundant blessings. Receive them now, as you press in to Me, that I may make them manifested to you. For My Spirit is moving, stirring hearts to come back to Me, and My anointing. They are coming back to the truth. Trust Me, and wait on Me, and you will see, soon, the outpouring of My Spirit, and My great supply of provision for my people, as the unleavened bread continues to go forth from My anointed, and spoken forth from all who have received, and believe, and are walking the unleavened walk.   The time is set for my life received to pour forth from you, a flowing stream of life. Remain faithful, humble, and pure. I have not, and will not fail of any of My good promises to My Unleavened Bread Ministry.”  Before I got on the zoom meeting this morning, I prayed that God would somehow, someway, confirm this word. And I believe that He did that through some verses that were shared this morning.   Deb Horton's scripture that she shared was Jeremiah 32:6-15. The confirming verse is the second part of verse 15. “Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.” I also felt confirmation was received in verse 15 of her scripture verses. “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. Houses, and fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.” (Those taken from their Promised Land shall return.) Shay shared, Philippians 4:19-23. Verses 19 and 20: “And my God will supply all your needs, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God, and Father glory forever and ever. Amen.”   Amen! Yes, Lord. All glory belongs to You! Thank You, faithful Father, for delivering and rescuing those who you will from the evil faction, and opening the eyes of those who just could not see to receive the awful truth about faction, and so gave up and set aside your truth. Thank You for your blessings now, and those you are about to abundantly bestow upon UBM, and for your faithfulness to all, all over the world, who are faithful to you in giving out the unleavened truth of Your Word. Amen!     Gold Bubble    Anonymous 2022  I saw David, Michael and Eve sitting together at David's house. Then I saw a golden light envelope them, surrounding each of them, like a big bubble. It was glowing and shining all over. The light was more intense closer to their bodies, almost a pure white and then got more golden toward the bubble edge.  It was as though the bubble were a vast number of Holy Angels, linked in every way around them with no gaps at all.  I saw “More coloring of the golden hue color, when more Angels are present”. Two heads confirmed, yes.  I then heard this: “Eve left the bubble. She has now to understand and seek Me.  Do not venture out to find her. The bubble is My Holy Angels surrounding you.  Pray and put them to work but know the divine usage.  (We have been binding, loosing and sending the angels as instructed and through the 4th of July the battle was being won with General Jesus at the head.) Stay in unison at the innermost sanctum, the Holy of Holies. Your veil will not be lifted.  Eve will enter again once she has been completely cleansed and aligned with entirety of Christ, as many more people will also.  (The other women and men that the satanists are taking advantage of are being released through prayer and warfare for them.) You will also see these others, even some whom you have never known or from the distant past, appear to each in vision. (Some of the women were taken into the harem by the stupid spirits and lust spirits the satanists put on them. They are being released by warfare.)  Trust the Spiritual as this is a reality beyond understanding. Your understanding of the life in physical cannot be without My Spiritual eternity. Everything is here with Me; I have never let go of control. The enemy cannot enter this sacred inner Holy place. (The gold bubble) Keep the door open to Me, and your heart mind and desire with everything of your ability to give all and seek more of Me. Constantly trying and eagerly awaiting My very breath and glance, feel My pulse raging like a roaring fire and heavy waterfall. I'm ready to burst from within you!” (Against the wicked) The Holy Angels don't know the exact date of Eve's return, but they know that she will be back.  Anonymous continued, "David, They said this is a trial for you too and Father is trying to teach you something too. It isn't your fault or anything like that, but there are specific things He is teaching you and helping you to overcome. (Yes, it has been a trial of crying to the Lord and exorcising faith for these poor people.) When she returns, she will be in The Holy bubble and protection which is unity with Christ. But it has been temporarily lifted but she will return unto His Glory when God gives her the Grace for repentance. (This has been done.) There is much God is teaching her right now and teaching you and teaching many other people. There is so much more going on than we can see and know but in the long run, all of this evil is for all our good and benefit.  (Satanism is throughout the land and we must learn to defeat it as is happening in the physical. Special forces are collecting these satanists, who are always trafficking the women and Children, and taking them to Gitmo and hanging them by the thousands. Exorcise your faith and send the angels.) As you all are manifesting and in agreement in mind, soul, spirit, body with more of Christ, the greater the Holy Presence and protection. The light pushes back the darkness but the full 100% glow is for the complete manifestation of Christ.”  I saw that resting in and only agreeing with The Word, one is in this bubble and protection but if one even doesn't agree with The Word in one area, it's as if they are sticking their hand out of the bubble which allows the attacks of darkness. Eve has completely stepped out of the bubble; her Angels are still with her and they are grieved witnessing this evil, but they know God is the Greatest and His way is The Best Way, and they know she will return back to Him. The Holy Angels are also a witness against the fallen angels.   I don't want to let my mind even spiritually see the other factious victims, the darkness there is too great and I just don't want to look at it. It will all get wiped forever anyway, praise God!   They said this just now “A greater anointing is being poured out more and more, we can't get distracted from receiving what God is trying to give us. Further along in His Spirit increasing, she will return”.    Kevin C. Rea & Eddie Brast's Captive Harem    Anonymous 6/26/23 (David's notes in red)  (The angels told us this dream is a truthful representation of what is going on.) In my dream I was a virgin, and I was engaged to be married. I was on my street in front of a united church that was just a house. (I have never spoken to the people at this church.) There were three men out in front of the building loading their car, one of the men had tattoos on his arms.  They started talking to me about Jesus and I spoke the Truth of what God has shown me. They said I can sit down in their car to talk. They ended up locking me in the car with them and driving off and I knew that they were trying to kidnap me. (They have kidnaped all of the women by demonic means but this also represents snatching some off the street.)  But I felt God is in control and He will get me out of this.  They took me to a giant farm that was owned by a man who had brown hair and his wife had red hair, it looked like they were in their 30s. (This is the “factious leader” of our dreams, satanist Kevin Carl Rea, Alias Kevin H. Rea, who has slandered us all over the internet and made Eve his concubine through witchcraft and voodoo he put on her.) This farm had a giant area that was fenced in and there were many people in there that weren't allowed to go out.  (The binding and prison is by witchcraft) There was at least 100 people there that were either willingly followers of this man or they had been kidnapped and kept here. (Many of these people were dumbed down by Kevin's Jim Jones spirits and were taken captive and the women trafficked to give pleasure to Kevin and who knows who.) The men all worked in the fields and the women did cooking and other work. (They were made slave labor like with Jim Jones.) I was given my own room that was inside the fenced area, whereas the people who were there by their own will were allowed out of the fenced area.   The wife tried, dressing me up, she was actually kind but I couldn't understand why she stayed with her husband or let him do all these evil things. She seemed really submissive to him and she went along with whatever he said. She also said that her husband sleeps with all the women here and that it will be my turn tonight. (Jim Jones did this too and then killed the evidence like Kevin does spiritually and sometimes literally according to Claire's dream. But we have the angels help that is going to report anything amiss and we bound the spirit of murder on Kevin.)  That night when I was in my given room the male (Kevin) who runs this place came in and started speaking with me. He spoke to me as if he was trying to be my friend and to get my favor. But I knew he was evil and had much pride. He was complaining that only one third of the people here are women and that isn't enough for him, he wants more. And that every person here does everything he says etc. He made it known that I had to sleep with him, and I calmly refused. I don't remember everything that I said but I somehow convinced him to leave me alone and to not try to sleep with me.  (He does not force the issue physically that we know of but by witchcraft, voodoo, lust and fornication spirits he imparted to his victims.) He was a gross man but somehow, he did what I said when I told him to leave, he left and left me alone. (Christians have authority over his demons as Jesus said.) The next day his wife asked me how I was able to get him to leave me alone, I don't remember what I said in response to her though. But she was kind and gentle and I told her God is taking me out of here and she couldn't understand how, but she believed God would take me out, so she gently in a kind, submissive tone tried to convince me not to leave.  (She was deluded by witchcraft and lust put on her like the rest. We do warfare for them all.) But I left anyway. God showed me how to get out through part of the fence and I just left and walked through a forest to get back to my house.   I couldn't understand why no one else left or saw the way to get out.  (Their will was hijacked by demons) David: (Kevin demonized them with witchcraft and voodoo spirits and with lust spirits so they would want him. Ed, who was trained by Kevin has three women near Arlington, TX. and we have their names and some in the farm. If anything like an “an accident” or “suicide” or they turn up missing he will hang. He will die anyway according to our dreams and words. We received by faith at random this word first this morning. (2Sa.19:4 …And the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son.  This is Kevin. Absalom hung himself like Judas.)  (Anonymous note: We asked if we should turn them in to the law but the angel said that they could do much more than the law. (With the Lord's permission we gave Kevin a condition, which would save the women, if met we would not turn him over to the special forces who are collecting these satanists for trafficking and hanging them. We knew he would not accept this because of his pride and that the angel forces would take care of him as they have.) Father said He would teach Eve humility through this process. This will eventually lead to the Spiritual Blessings and other things that will come in the future and for eternity and from falling away and coming back even greater etc. Also the ripple effects also of the testimony that will Glorify God to others, and many other of that sort. That even the evil is Blessing, although it might not look like it in the moment and physical but will be and it will show itself to be good in time to come.)  My thought has been to believe for a miracle rather than just the normal long-drawn-out process of teaching them humility. But a miracle can be in a blink. My son Nathan bought a bird that hated him, and he was going to bring it back to the store. I said, lets pray over him. We did and in the morning, he was a born-again bird. He loved Nathan. The parakeet had a total brain change.  When a person comes to the Lord, they get a miracle change. She left the Lord and the comeback can be normal or a miracle. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  She is coming back with a miracle! I received this for Eve and the others two times and confirmed it with two heads. Isa 51:14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. (We have prayed and believed for them.) Luk 18:7-8  And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? 8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (These men have much blood on their hands and God will avenge their victims.  Cry for it.) I received by faith at random: Psa 92:9-11 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10 But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.    Rampant Evil    Anonymous 6/29/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that the world had forsaken God and His ways and transgender evil was rampant everywhere and it was an offense to speak about Jesus.   The majority of adults were evil and involved in sexual abuse practice. I met so many children that had been sexually abused in schools and other so-called trusted areas of care. (The children could also represent those who are immature in Christ that have been taken captive from their school, like UBM, and abused by the factious leader, Kevin C. Rae. This is just like the parallel in the world, the work of the DS operations that have been going on underground for decades. They are part of the same dragon devouring the helpless.)  These abused children that I had met, I adopted them, but not legally. I took them in as my own and they came and lived with me in a safe zone. They never had to go back to where evil had previously been done to them. (This adoption in many cases is by prayer and warfare for them. This is also the elect coming out of the factious satanist camps into the Truth again by our prayers and warfare. Adopt these helpless children of God, many who were stolen from our UBM school by faction since 2011. On a physical level, many of the children they are rescuing from underground tunnels and DUMBs where they have been tormented by the DS satanists are being taken care of and receiving deliverance from their captors. These are two sides of the same coin and same Dragon.)  I could see demons in people and those in whom I saw lust and perversion, I rebuked them and told them to go away. They had to leave immediately and they couldn't get close to me.  There was of a group of people, I don't know who they were, but they were secretly kidnapping pedophiles and locking them up in a building in the forest. When the building was packed full of these evil people, the entire place was set on fire. I heard there were 12 police officers in there that died. (This sounds like the what the Alliance and special operations who are part of Trump's military, who are rounding up these perverts and are prosecuting them in large groups for the same things. On a spiritual level these people will go through the fire.)  (2Ki 10: 25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.   26 And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them. 27 And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day. 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.)    Cut Off    Samuel Fire 12/9/22 (David's notes in red)  I had a vision of a very sharp edged and large heavy metal door. Larger than a warehouse garage and thicker than a bomb shelter type. (Representing the Word of God. Heb 4:12 For living is the word of God, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.)  When it closed, it came down with such a force that nothing would stop it from being closed. It closed so fast and hard with a very loud bang that anything in the way was broken and sliced apart. It resembled a gigantic guillotine, and the action on coming down to close was a lightning quick and powerful motion. (Representing the righteous and Holy Judgement of God, which the factious antichrists will soon receive. This is Jesus' stained garment with the blood of the Edomite faction.)   Mat 10:34 Think not that I came to bring peace on the earth: I came not to bring peace, but a sword. And Mat 24:50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not.  51  and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.  Also, Jesus is the door. Joh 10:7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.)  The door separated between two places. One place was a brightly lit interior with a white and clean space, while the other place was a dark, gloomy and creepy outside area. (This represents the soul which is full of the Light of Christ and the other whose soul has been darkened by sin and the lust of the flesh; an antichrist spirit, which is outside the Body of Christ.)  Mat 25:32-33 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! I then saw that a man was standing there, right beneath the opened door at the entryway. The man had one leg and arm and some of his body on the outside, and the rest of his body was on the inside. Without any care or in complete ignorance, he stayed there. It was as if this man was content to remain under the door and not move. (The lukewarm are part in the world and part in the Kingdom but will be cut off.)  (Also representing the factious who did not receive correction and repent for sin. They will be cut off from the Body of Christ.)  Ecc 9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.  Luk 3:9 And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 1Jn 2:4 Who saith that I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man. I was horrified as I terrifyingly saw the door suddenly slam shut and sever off the parts of his body that hung on the outside. Psa 37:9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.  (The lukewarm shall be spewed out of the Body of Christ.  Psa 129:4 Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.    Luk 11:17 But HE, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate; and a house divided against a house falleth.  Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand stumbleth thee, cut it off, and cast from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body go into geenna.    When I came out of the vision, I had sweats and shakes. It was immediately brought to my remembrance the verses relating to “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in outer darkness,” and the other verse regarding the “30, 60, and 100 fold.”  Mat 22:13 Then the king said to the ministers, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. .   Mat 13:23 And he sown upon the good ground, this is who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit and bringeth forth, the one a hundredfold, the one sixty, the one thirty.    I felt this was a warning to be seeking to have 100 percent of Christ.   The Lord Will Judge the Factious Enemy    David Eells 6/17/22   God is about to judge the wicked who have abused His children. Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one (in the Man-child Reformers), and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. (Notice that the Lord smites the factious and then rewards the Bride for her crucifixion by them.) 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young.   He judged them in Isa 62:11-63:6 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him... 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? (The Edomite sheepfold.) this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.   2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. … 6 And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.   … And Pharoah's army was destroyed at the Red Sea but the people of God celebrated on the other side. Isa 63:11-14 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them? … Isa 64:1-4 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence, (I believe that the DS will be retaliating with earthquakes when the Lord returns in His Man-child.) 2 …to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence. 4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him.    Dream of Faction Bombed and Scattered and the Elect's Return     Eve Brast 2020 (David's notes red)  I dreamed that it was dark outside and I was standing in a line with the local UBM brethren. (Eve along with Local UBM was being used to represent the corporate body of the Bride of Christ.) We were all facing the factious enemies' camp and holding hands and praying. (The Bride must stand united against the faction and their witchcraft in prayer and spiritual warfare.)  The camp was being bombed from above and I saw a bombed-out vehicle about 50 yards in front of our prayer line. (Vehicles represent lives. It appears God is going to recompense the wicked for their evil committed against His children.) I saw a group of factious men who had been standing in front of the vehicle begin to scatter because of the bombings. One of the factious men who was holding a packet of legal documents was ducking for cover and trying to run away towards his left from the bombed-out camp. (The legal documents represent the factious leaders plan to sue UBM and David. Also, the accuser of the brethren, satan, persecutes the righteous through his vessels or vehicles of dishonor with his accusations in the court of Heaven.) I could see little embers from the bombings floating around in the air.   Then a black woman who was deceived by faction appeared in front of me in our prayer line. (This may represent another dream we had of her dying by a plague but repenting. We've had dreams of other factious people dying of the plagues too. This could represent some of the bombing of their camp.) Her skin and clothing were charred from the bombings and she was very thin now.   She was dressed in a large floral print dress but it was all tattered. Her hair was all a mess and there was blood on her face and her mouth. (The blood on her mouth represents devouring the saints by slander.) She was crying and weak and she was holding out her hands towards me, palms up, in repentance. Then I woke up. (Also, some who have been deceived by the faction will return as a result of the judgments upon them from God.)    The Lord Judges the Faction and then Gives the Bride Her Reward     It was so with the Bride and Man-child in Esther. The King of Kings gave authority to Esther and Mordecai to destroy Haman and his people in Purim and then rewarded Esther and Mordecai. We received this by faith at random this morning. Est 10:1-3 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. 2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, (meaning "little man” which is a Man-child.) whereunto the king advanced him …3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.   (It was so with the Bride and Man-child in Joel 2. The Northern army advanced toward Jerusalem, the Bride. They cried unto the Lord, and the Bride and Man-child were revealed to the people. The Lord then smote the army and then rewarded the Bride with revival and restoration from all the years they went through. This was the Assyrian army of Sennecherib who were smitten of the Lord by killing 185,000 in one night. And here it is...) Joe 2:16 gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet... (Notice: The Man-child and Bride were revealed in this battle.) 20 but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its forepart into the eastern sea, and its hinder part into the western sea; and its stench shall come up, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things... 23-25 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. (So, we see again the judgment of the enemies like the Red Sea and then the reward of the Bride.)   (It was so with the Bride and Man-child in 2 Ch 20. The three armies advanced towards Jerusalem, the Bride. Jehoshaphat commanded the praisers to the front line. The enemies killed each other off. The people took the plunder as it will be with the DS and our faction.) 2Ch 20:22-23 And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir (Edom's leadership), utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.   So, what has happened to prove this will happen with the faction?   Some of our missionaries were killed by the factious Catholics who blamed us for converting their cult members with the Word and saving them. They commanded us to get out of their country or we would all die. They did a Black mass to enforce this. We called upon the Lord who then started a war between the Catholics, Coptics, and JW's, who were persecuting the Christian missionaries. So, then they were killing each other off for weeks. This happened as it did with Abimelek and the men of Shechem like I showed the lead evangelist. The Catholics said it was my black magic that did this to them and are doing a Black Mass, which is witchcraft, to get rid of us but they are still being killed by the grace of God. The Christian missionaries have been spared all of this civil war.   Also, President Trump and the Alliance have started the mass arrests of the Elites with their DS leadership in the nations and are trying and sentencing many to death by hanging or bullet. Thousands of elites and many more DS leaders are being removed. The witches around the world are with these satanists to support them and destroy the Alliance and Christians but they are failing and so will our faction.   We have received from the Lord that there is a parallel between Trump draining the political swamp and the Man-child draining the Church swamp. So, all of this is a type for us.  David's email to: Traffickers Kevin and Ed,  The Lord showed us you are satanists and sex traffickers but we will let the professionals prove that. We have had a detective on your case, and we know some of the names of the women you have trafficked. And we know your perverse sex history too that you have bragged about. There is nothing hidden from God. Repent and stop this immediately!  We saw that you told Eve to leave her house with her son and girlfriend and go to her empty apartment where you could have undisturbed sex with her in her deluded state. We know you have those who are willing, and those who are unwilling to have sex with you perverts. We have some names.  When you send witchcraft and voodoo into a woman to make them mindless, and also all of your lust and fornication demons, so that they want to have sex with someone they hated before, this is called rape. The women and girls you snatched and those taken from the factions are there against their original will. Hypnotists have been charged with lesser than these crimes. This is illegal and immoral. Cease and desist immediately.  You are a sex trafficker. A person does not have ownership, and is not property. What God creates only He can destroy.  (Note: The angels had already told us that they could handle this better than any law or military but I knew he wouldn't believe this so I brought it down to the physical for him to know there is a threat.) Do you know General Eric M Smith? You will, if you do not do what is right. He and the Special Forces have collected thousands of your satanist buddies, for doing what you do, and hung them. This method is a kinder way compared to the written methods God could do to you. Turn and repent immediately!    Put away your AK 47; this is foolish. He has used the special forces to collect your satanist friends who have done the same thing as you, and Jim Jones of Guyana fame, and your creepy resemblance to this evil man. He also had sex with all the husbands' wives and girls, like you. And like you, he tried to cover up all the evidence by killing his victims. God told us, He would kill you both.  You send all of the women with Eve in the lead to us now, and we will do deliverance and send them to their families. If any are harmed or have an accident, or suicide; we will bring in the insiders to witness against you. (We knew these were the angels who have been telling us what they are doing.) Our info is in the hands of an intermediary who knows what to do with it. This warning is out of love for a last chance. Take heed quickly. This is not a threat. This is based on factual evidence, and justice impending in the very short term. Act quickly to remedy what will be taken back. Your salvation is at hand. And take down the slander. You have trespassed on our property 3 times and twice we saw you or your people here (in the middle of the night seeking to break into our house.) Please act now and for these women's sake.  DE  Anonymous: I asked God for a verse last night on what He thinks of the email David sent to Kevin and Ed, and I landed on: “Glorified God”, Mat 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.    Report from the angels on the warfront on July 4th   What are the Angels telling you about news from the enemy's camp?  “We have broken through the enemy defense. We took charge of all lurking and guardian demons with overriding authority given by General Jesus.   He reassigned them to completely different sectors of the spiritual. They have no more involvement in obeying the human leader. We broke through to surround this human and baited out every personal demon.   Each demon was spoken to, they are to completely ignore us and not report to the human or have any reaction to us.  (I.e. they have been neutralized.) We then filled every space and declared complete control under General Jesus. Not one reaction or indication of anything the enemy is doing in response. There is not and will not be a counterattack.   We have alerted those who need to know for rescue and to be prepared for escape. The ones who have been alerted; it is in their spirit that we gave them the information. Most of them have been altered in the mind and have been hurt in soul. The trauma to their bodies is mostly a mind control and lack of nutrition and sleep.   We won't be divulging on the worse acts, as these and all others will be restored. We now await the timing on the next phase of attack.   There are external aspects we are awaiting from other divisions with similar attacks and rescue. This is being coordinated together so not one soul is left behind.  (As we prayed) This is a worldwide effort. Some have been in this fight for many years. Today we have now secured many souls for safety in The Lord's Name. Await further information. Keep praying  How goes the war? 

Faction Cannot Prevail (audio)  David Eells - 5/14/23   Be Watchful  Tianna Fire  12/23/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that UBM were all part of an army, and David Eells was the head of the army. (David represents The Lord Jesus as General and the Body in Christ. This is a representation of the corporate Man-Child body).  All the brethren were living together on an isolated island. If the enemy wanted to get us, they would have to go by boat. (It is the same when you realize this refuge will be like a big ship in the midst of waters on both sides created by fault lines opening up. It would mostly, except for the stern, be accessible only by water.) The enemy didn't know where our camp was located. When we fought the enemy, we would always go to the enemies' camp. (Always keep the enemy on the defensive, we are to go on the offensive.) (And in one accord or unison as an army.). The brethren did everything together in unity, and when we went to the shops we would go in groups. (Pro 11:14 Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.)  There were many different enemy army types, that had different camps. All the armies were completely different. There were enemy armies of possessed people, witches, human donkeys, human goats, human pigs and other types of animals. (Representing the unclean vessels and factious. Lev 10:10 and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.)  There was a female witch who had been pretending to be part of our army, as a spy. (In the later stages of infection, yes). She participated in the fellowships, but she got exposed and went back to the witch army. (Factious people are exposed by The Light of the Lord. Tit 3:10-11 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 11 knowing that the such is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.)  We had already taken over three different enemy camps, and they were now run by us. (Sounds like our missionary revivals.) David was now in control of what happened at those camps. At this time, we were all at our base camp and in training. Each of us would get many trials each day, where the enemy would spiritually do anything they could to get each of us not to seek God. (1Pe 5:8-9 Be sober, watch: the devil, your Adversary, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom withstand steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren which is in the world.)  Many distractions would come up and the enemy would use anything he could to keep us from seeking God. Some people had family members trying to distract them. For others, it was food, and so many other random and hidden tactics to try to stop us all from seeking God. (1Co 7:35 And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for what is seemly, and assiduous toward the Lord without distraction.)  Everyone shared the crazy things the enemy tried to use against them that day, and what they did to stop it. (Revealing the enemy's plans and sharing what was done to defeat them, is edification for the Body in Christ. Psa 10:2 In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived. Psa 21:11 For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.) (Father returns their curses on their own heads and also hinders their abilities to accomplish their evil.) News came to David that all the remaining enemy army camps had all teamed up as one team to come against us, because our team had already conquered others. (Psa 83:3-5 They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant). (Yes we have had witchcraft from Catholic black masses, Coptics, JW's, all from the Middle East. The faction here, the witches around the world, sending curses to Christians in general. The corporate army must fight this battle.) David and others spoke to each other to come up with strategies for defensive and offensive warfare. Now it was basically the whole world against us. Someone told David what to do if someone got surrounded by many members of the enemy, and they were all alone. I said to them that our God translates us places, and he can take us anywhere anytime. (I.e. remove us from harms way.) Later in the dream we were all gathered in a large pool, that was of all different levels, and we were spread out in different rows. (A “pool" is also used to identify groups of people from which we can draw from like assemblies of God's people, who are also on “all different levels”.) We were all looking to the front and praising our God! (Php 3:14 I follow on toward the mark unto the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus).  There was a donkey that had started following Jesus, and he fellowshipped with us all. He was standing in the back row praising and I was on the other side also in the back row. (A donkey is a stupid or obstinate fellow. Gen 16:12 And he shall be as a wild ass among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.)  Suddenly the donkey came up behind me and tried to stab me in the back. I quickly ran in the pool to the lane in front to tell the other brethren, and the donkey chased me. (Representing Judas).  One brother then cut the donkey's head off as he came into the lane. But then the donkey changed form, into a clear bubble of liquid poison, and was moving around inside the water. (Poison represents the lies, slander, false doctrines, and accusations being spread in the Body of Christ. Deu 32:31-33 For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges. 32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter: 33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.)  I alerted the others so it wouldn't touch them, and they saw it and we were all swimming to get out of its way. (As part of our duty to be watchful and avoid the fiery darts of the enemy with discernment. Eph 6:16 in all things taking up the shield of the faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. Luk 21:34-36 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare: 35 for so shall it come upon all that dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 But be watchful at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.) Then I woke up.    Deceived Lady Gaga Wants The Children  Tianna Fire  2/22/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was on a walking journey to a UBM location and there were heaps of other people walking there also. The area we were walking in was a public location with buildings all around and there were different people of all different ages on the journey. (This represents the body of believers on the way to a refuge, journeying towards the unleavened bread of the gospel).  The Lord then brought to my attention a specific person who was walking in the group: It was a woman. She was wearing a big cream-colored hat and she seemed to be trying to hide her physical identity. (The cream or “off white” colour represents “holding a form of godliness” or pretending to be pure while hiding sin and the true nature of the heart.) The Lord then opened the spiritual realm in the dream and showed me that this lady was the famous Lady Gaga. (Representing a corporate body of people around the world.) I saw that she was involved in pure evil activities, satanic worship, and other evils. (In the natural this popular music artist is extremely well known and would not be able to hide in public. It is also well known that she is involved in pure evil activities. “Gaga” is also a play on words for speaking nonsense, not making sense when speaking.)  The evil she was involved in flashed before my eyes. I saw hurt and deception from a young age and trauma she had, which eventually led into all sorts of evil. I seemed deceived and struck. I saw she was knowingly involved in the worst sorts of evil in this world, but I saw that she also didn't know the truth about Jesus and the reality of the consequences of life or eternity without Jesus. I felt that all this stuff she was involved in was forced and there was no escape for her. I saw that right now in this moment in the dream she was here for evil intentions, and she was on the prowl for children as she was being forced to get a child. (This woman pretends to walk with fellow believers but is involved with evil and is completely deceived due to her past hurts.)  The lady then turned and looked at me and she had green eyes. (Green represents jealousy or envy.) In her eyes I saw high ranking fallen angels in her and I was shocked as I rarely see these high-level demons in people. The demons knew that I could see them and as soon as they knew that I saw them they went back to hiding within her.  I sensed in the Spirit, that she could see that I knew who she was and her intentions and her deep nature. She couldn't understand how I knew, but she could feel that I knew. She knew I wouldn't make a scene about her identity, so she just spoke plainly to me. She told me she needed to get a child and would give me a giant amount of money for one of the children that was on this journey. (The child they want to control in their perversion and excess is their spiritual man.) It was an insane amount of money, in the millions. I told her that she wouldn't get any of these children and they are all protected by the Blood of Jesus and Holy Fire. I felt all this protection come around us and all the children and I sensed the presence of the Lord. (The deceived jealous lady is being used by someone to gather the immature to her side.)  She was then unable to handle being in the presence of the Lord, and her body started wobbling and she stopped walking and she sort of fell to the ground to a “sitting position”. I stopped walking and turned to her and told her that the only way out of all the evil she is in, is Jesus. It was as if she had no hope to get out of everything she was in, she was stuck.  Saying this to her was an answer to her prayer. I sensed that she wanted to get out but had no way, she was so very oppressed and seemed bound. (Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.)  She told me that if she left they would kill her. It seemed she was scared to not only repent from the evil but also scared to expose it. She said they would know even if she changed her mind and I felt that she was referring to the fallen angels monitoring her. I said, “Jesus is greater than all of them and He is the only way and only escape.” And I said something about it's better to physically die with Jesus than without Jesus.  I felt I said all God wanted me to and I continued walking with the group of people. She was left behind on the ground as if very physically weak, but she was thinking.  I had much peace knowing that everyone was now protected, especially the children. The group ended up walking through bush and then onto what seemed like a large property. To the right we had to turn off to go to a UBM house and I turned to go, and a few of the children did too. Most of the people in the group just continued walking straight past the turn off as if it was invisible to them or they didn't want to really go there. (Angels will guide people to the refuges and others will not find it as we have seen in other dreams.) Even though the house was physically locked, when I opened the door, it just opened for me. I looked around and no-one was inside the house, and I went into the group prayer room. Everyone was together in the prayer room on their knees. The room was a square room and David and Michael were each in a corner praying and the others were in the middle, and everyone was travailing in prayer for everything, especially for the protection of the saints. (Pray in unison for the factious, deceived woman.)  Judas  Marie Kelton  5/10/23 (David's notes in red) Last week, while I was at work eating lunch, the song by Lady Gaga called ‘Judas' started playing in my head. At the part of the song where she said, “whoa - whoa I'm in love Judas.” I then got a random verse after that, and I landed on: John 13:26 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So, when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  I then got another verse after the one above because I wasn't sure about it. I landed on: Jonah 2:8 They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy. There's also this verse: John 3:19-20 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For every one that practiseth evil things hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, that his works be not reproved.   I didn't think anything of it at the time, but the Lord brought it back to mind.    Word for UBM Elders About Faction  Claire Pienaar  5/10/23 (David's notes in red) I received the email request from the prayer team to pray for you, David and Michael, and the UBM ministry. I know there are many good prayer warriors doing exactly that. I had done similar earlier that morning. I asked the Lord if there was anything He'd like to say to you directly, to encourage you.  Here's the message from the Lord, sent humbly through me:  Do not be discouraged my Sons. In this late hour, much must happen to reveal the lawless amongst you. It hurt me when Judas betrayed me because I loved him like my own. You will come to have more love in your hearts with every faction if you let me have my cleansing, perfecting work.  Do not fear, and do not stumble now. Cling onto the faith that once was and for all delivered to the saints. I am the author and perfecter of your faith. Trust me with your lives, your families, with the ministry. You are kept weak so that MY GLORY may shine forth from you. You are kept humble so it is easy to praise me.  I am well pleased with you both. I know every step you must take on your journey as I, too, took those steps. You are being cleansed. My body, though bruised, is also being cleansed.  There is so much to look forward to. There is joy unspeakable waiting for all those who continue in me. I love you and will never forsake you. You are more than worthy servants; you are my friends and brothers. Take it all patiently and seek only that which is good and faithful and true to edify my beautiful bride.  Some verses that correlate (not exhaustive)  Mat 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.   Isa 28:16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.   1 Pe 1:8 whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:   Heb 15:5 Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.   1 Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.   John 15:14-16 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.   Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.   Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  2 Co 12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   Mat 3:17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.    Faction Will End For the Bride  Claire Pienaar  5/6/23 (David's notes in red) I represent the Bride as per Rev 19:7-8 because my name means “brilliant”, like the lampros garment: 7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Riaan represents the corporate Man-child as his name means “little lion king”. I dreamed Riaan was travelling somewhere like a desert in a white utility vehicle. The vehicle was perfectly clean despite being on such dusty highways. (Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.) I was at home, in our white house at the end of the street.   Suddenly a HUGE Afrikaans family came hurtling down the road for a “family reunion”. There were easily 50 members in this family. At first, they tried to come into my yard (The Afrikaans family represents Riaan's “brethren”. If Riaan represents the man-child in this dream, then the family represents the apostate harlot. It's not my mother-tongue). I simply said, “no”. They then tried to get into the white house next to my house, no.4 (“Four” represents the world.) (There were 50 people, which is the number of Jubilee, freedom. Every fiftieth year, all leased or mortgaged lands were to be returned to their original owners, and all slaves and bonded laborers were to be freed (Lev. 25:10). But the Man-child/Brides house is not for the servants or slaves but the sons.)   They opened the door to House No. 4 easily, as it was unlocked, and poured in faster than I could blink. It was a massive operation. They meant business. They had 4X4 vehicles (The factious leader has one), camp gear, camp kitchen gear, sleeping bags, tents, and food. All the women had dark hair. (meaning submitted to darkness.) It was like watching a highly organized sting-operation. It was intense. I kept on telling them, “This is illegal!” “This is unlawful!” “This is wrong!” (They break every law of God and man) “You will be thrown out!” “Stop it!”. In the dream I felt like I had to keep my street clean and clear of these people. (The house next door represents an organized faction attack as seen below.) (They are not in the body of Christ for they are unforgiven and do not belong among the people of God for they are their enemy. They are refused according to Tit 3:10-11.)   Some of these family members heard me, but most didn't even see me, as they were so focused on executing their own portion of their jobs. (These people are focused on evil works.) (And separating the body from its leadership to install reprobates. Jas 3:16  For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.) 2 Tim 3:7-8 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.) They never answered me in English. The main man, (The factious leader) a big burly man with a black sleeveless biker's jacket (living in darkness) and red hair with a red beard (the sign of Esau who hated his chosen brother.). He kept on telling me, in Afrikaans, “It's ok. We did this in 2011 and it was fine!” (The factious leader did exactly this in 2011) I said, “Listen to me. This isn't 2011 and you ARE NOT WELCOME. (2011 is when the factious first attacked our fellowship and were rejected by them.) That family's moved on. We're the new family here and we're not part of your family. Get away!” I called Riaan on my mobile phone and told him to come immediately, but all he said was “I'm coming as fast as I can. I'll be there soon”. (This is a massive faction attack before the Man-child arrives.) (Its been happening) The Afrikaans family then set up camp on both sides of the train tracks that run next to our house, as well as all the way up the street, to House No.1. I kept on rebuking these people. I was exhausted, but I was not going to stop telling them to go. (Be warned that they will overrun those of the rest of the body of believers that are not shackled to grace through obedience and repentance. Do not let them in to your house!)   The main man (The factious leader) then showed me a picture from his phone that had a picture of our house but with the old GREEN roof, and he said, “This is where we're supposed to be, right here, and we're not leaving”.(When they brought envy and jealousy, green, into our body. )  I said, “Clearly you have the wrong house. See, we have a RED roof”. (Seriously, we received a new roof 2 months ago and its red. We plead the blood of Jesus. It's ONLY the blood that saves. It saves completely. It cleanses completely. It's not a house for jealousy, only God's grace and the blood of Jesus). He looked at the roof and one by one this large family started leaving in drips and drabs. (Since 2011 they have been dribbling out and the factious leader left 3 times and is on the 4th time, which is his last. A sister years ago saw him leave 3 times and the 4th he never came back.  Later she saw him die and go to hell.)  (As they left, they started speaking curses on Riaan while he was absent,) to the point where I clearly heard the words “cancer” and “we're killing him” both in and out of the dream.  I woke up and rebuked it in the natural over Riaan's body. (The factious leader will try to get his people to curse the Man-child with witchcraft but it was the David Man-child who killed the Edomites. Their curses will be returned to them according to the word. Psa 109:17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. 18  He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.)  Then I fell back asleep, continuing to rebuke it while I entered the next part of the dream. (We pray the blood of Christ over our bodies, which is the house, and these attacks must leave.)  At this point in the dream, Riaan was separated from us in a shopping center (Now, the bride and her fruit are still separated from the Man-Child.) (Speaking of the anointed Man-child who was caught up to the throne.) He was found in a rat exterminator van. (He was getting rid of the factious sons of perdition meaning destruction. The factious “rat” out the Man-child in whom Jesus lives.) However, my dad, representing the Father, went to fetch him in another white car almost immediately afterwards, and again they crossed a desert.) (When Moses had gone through his personal wilderness/desert of self denial, the Father brought him back to bring Israel as a type of the Church there to meet Him.)   My mom and I were holding my son Daniel and waiting for Riaan to arrive. (In this dream my mother represents the original gospel that we hold fast to, so that we can keep our personal inner man-child safe.) It was so intense as I knew we had to leave together as a family, and it was imperative that he was with us. I saw a vision in the dream of the white car my dad was driving, and big black vehicles were trying to push him and Riaan off the road as they made their way back to us. (They want to hinder the Father and Man-child from saving the Bride who is often cast in dreams as the Bride. At this moment they are trying to hinder us from saving Eve who they finally took captive in her house with witchcraft slander curses after years of hating her for her dreams revealing their sins. She is there to be a witness of their destruction. Psa 37:34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. (I was just asking the Lord what to do for Eve when this dream came to me. The time of this dream must be very close.)  I thought the vision was shaking, like someone was shaking an iPad screen, but then I realized it was an earthquake where Riaan and my dad were. (In the midst of these attacks the Man-child will come and deal with the faction as the Lord did the Edomites who hated and killed their brethren. (We have had a few dreams that the Man-child came at an earthquake as we see in scripture and a vision below.) Marie Kelton just saw a vision on May 12, 2023 During the meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord. He was huge and really tall.  I was only able to see the bottom of His linen garment and the sandals on His feet. I saw the Lord walking as the floor cracked in front of Him. The cracks on floor looked like fault line cracks. I then heard a voice say, "When He walked the earth trembled." (This large body of Christ is Jesus in the Man-child body. He comes during an earthquake to destroy the Edomite faction who is attacking the Bride, to save her. Isa 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. After the shaking, "In a flash we were all at a fueling station, (This must be done quickly after the earthquakes before the stations run out because the earthquake will cut off the fuel supply pipelines coming up from the refineries in the south.) We were fueling up white and silver cars, ready to leave together. (The vehicles of the sanctified ones.) (When the Man-Child defeats these spirits of darkness and lawlessness represented by those big black vehicles, the Bride body and the Man-Child body will be “refueled” with the latter rain anointing.  Joel 2: 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. (The great restoration from years of the curse including the faction curse.) 26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame. (Like the factious will) 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame. (Like the factious will)  More Witchcraft and Faction  Claire Pienaar  5/8/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was packing up our home to move. (into the wilderness?) I had my Bible on our bed, at the very top of the pile I was making to pack. I went into the kids' room to get a few things and when I came back, the Bible was on fire, and some things were missing. Someone had tried to destroy the Bible and steal my stuff. (We have worked very hard to prepare the Word for the people going into the wilderness and the faction has worked hard to destroy and steal it. The factious leader took down our site full of Bible teaching when we stopped him several times from seducing a married woman and he was caught seducing a young girl. Apple told us that the only one who could have taken our rebuild of the site immediately down as fast as we put it up was the only one who told them to contact him as soon as anything was changed on the site.  This was the factious leader. We can put him in jail anytime we want to.  The FBI have been contacted but we left his name out of the report to wait on the Lord's timing. He knows we know but he foolishly keeps on destroying. We were shown many times that he was using witchcraft to kill our people spiritually and physically. Still we have no unforgiveness to him.  Who is going to take him down? The Man-child Jesus.)   I hollered to Riaan, and I kept on spraying my Bible with a flame retardant. The front cover completely burned off. There was also a bullet hole through the bible. (Bullet holes represent witchcraft attacks on those who hold to the contents of the Bible, not just the cover of what it represents. The fiery trials we go through reveals the Word inside.) (The factious hate the inside of the bible).  One of the cashiers from the Independent Grower's Association (IGA) came and said he knows why it happened and he knows who did it. He opened my bible and there was a little Polaroid picture of Helene cutting a cake. (Helene was apparently the mother of the first Roman emperor to supposedly convert. The person in this photo in the dream is very thin, small and has strawberry-blonde or very light red hair, denoting rebellion.) (This woman was the mother of apostate Christianity. The red hair identifies her as Esau's seed, the Edomites who had red hair and hated their chosen brother, Jacob/Israel as a type of the Church. The Roman Emperor was Constantine who perverted Christianity mixing it with other religions to bring unity to his kingdom. Our factious leader could not use the bible which identifies him and his sin so he mixed psychology and psychiatry while claiming falsely to be a Christian and destroying the Word.)  Then he told us who it was that was doing this, and he was describing himself. (The factious always blame someone else for what they are doing, always.) So, we sent him off and told him not to come back again. (Just as in the dream above.) As he revealed himself, he became angrier and angrier at us, and I thought he was going to do us harm. I was most concerned that he destroyed the Word of God. (This young man represents being both immature and factious.)  I woke up.  I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received John 13:20, with my finger on received: “He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” (Whatsoever we do to the least of Jesus' brethren we do to him).    The Factious Destroy Themselves David Eells  5/12/23   I received this text twice by faith at random when asking about the faction. Listen to it carefully. God is speaking prophetically of this time: Pro 11:7-9 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. The first day I got verses 7&8. Pro 11:7-8 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. (There was an old note next to this, which spoke of Eve's dream of being taken captive by 2 factious men who are in perversion and witchcraft and another of their death together. We see here that their hope of evil will perish with them. They killed many spiritually and physically and Eve was conquered by witchcraft to correct her and to be a witness. We do warfare for her and others as we have in the past and we have faith for them.   Judas died when the Man-child did. And because of this the righteous are delivered out of their hands in the next verse. A remnant in the faction that are captive to demons of witchcraft and faction, will be set free along with all those righteous they have tested and have overcome outside of it. We have been shown that the war to come will take down many of the wicked.) 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. (Here we see that God turns the table on the wicked and they perish in order to deliver the righteous from them. It is always this way.)  The next day I got verse 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor (This is spoken curses and slander, which enter the listener to take them captive.); But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. (Knowledge such as the understanding that Jesus gave us “authority over all the power of the enemy”. And Mar 11:23-24 is about casting down of the “mount of corruption” that he was crossing. And the power given when “we believe we have received”. Like the fig tree that bore no fruit they wither. Joel 3:19-21 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. (They have shed much blood)   20 But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion. (The blood of the old man with the adamic sin nature must give way to the blood of Christ with which we were saved.) Isa 49:25-26 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood (Judas hung himself with his own hands and the righteous saw this. I.e. they destroy one another with their despicable words and actions that they partake of. “Evil companionships corrupt good morals".), as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.  (Abimelek and the Men of Shechem, and Jehoshaphat and the 3 armies have been given to explain the destruction of the enemy spirits and their flesh by their own hands.) Isa 51:11-52:3 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion (Returning from captivity to the demonic faction dragon of Babylon); and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 12  I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass; 13 and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker (They forgot everything they learned from UBM and the Word of God. They study psycology that cannot save.), that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth (I.e. He is mighty to take down all oppressors); and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? (They are making ready to destroy but our God is God and theirs is a fallen angel who must have Father's permission to do anything to us as seen in Job.) and where is the fury of the oppressor? 14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed (The elect remnant shall be saved from captivity to the wicked.); and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. 15 For I am Jehovah thy God (And Satan is the bound strong man and we are commanded to take his spoils.)   Sweaty Rats On The Ship  Claire Pienaar  5/11/23  (David's notes in red) I represent the corporate Bride body as in Rev 19:7-8 because my name means “brilliant”, like the lampros garment: 7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. I dreamed I was in a ship that was on dry ground. (Our ship in the earth is on dry ground) (The ark, the secret place of the Most High, where to run to before the flood of judgement or tribulation, a refuge). I was in a cabin on the right side of the ship. Across from me, on the left, was a single mom of small boys. She was really struggling, dirt poor and dirty with nothing but a mattress in her cabin. (Mat 25:31-33  But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.) (All factious people are leftists likened to tares and goats.  They do not belong on the ship and will repent or be removed.) A few doors down from her was a couple. The woman seemed ok, but the man looked dull, and coldness reverberated from him, like a corpse. (Jude 1:12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.) He was tall, with a black beard, and pale skin that was terribly sweaty. (Representing being nervous or full of impurity from the inside that is difficult to hide on the outside). He wore black and grey sweatpants and hoodie. (Representing submitted to darkness and evil schemes). He was previously an owner of a food truck and he was trying to hijack the little on-board café next to my room. (These factious deceivers think because they had something to do with the Word (food) before, in apostasy, that they can now usurp ministries or anointings officially ordained by God). He just wanted to serve his oily, greasy flat bread instead of the beautiful fresh salad rolls, breakfast items and coffee. (Yes, they want to serve their own type of “greasy grace” gospel). He tried to serve his food there a few times but each time he failed due to his own inefficiencies and inability. (He is not anointed). Each time, sweet little servers would continue to serve the fresh food available to other people who were on the ship.  He was getting angrier with his wife, too. He decided to “help” the poor woman opposite my door by getting her to get off the ship and go sell food with him in his truck. (Beware them preying on the immature). I walked past the single mom's room and thought to myself “bad idea” as they approached her. They then tried to come into my room but I said, “No thank you” and closed my cabin door to them. (Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them).  His little food truck was still outside the ship and he desperately wanted to bring the cart up on the ship. But this couldn't happen. The truck was in the shape of a bee, and it was yellow with black writing on it (bees have stingers that are full of poison, it's in their tails. I remember David Eells describing fear and anxiety as being from spirits with venom in their tails, and religious spirits and false doctrines being from spirits with the venom in their heads, like snakes).   I then felt tremendous dread as I realised he was on board to kill people. However, I noticed my cabin door was red and I knew he would not be able to come in. (These false doctrines they will try to bring into the refugees are demonic and they only want to steal, kill, and destroy but they can't touch those covered by the blood of Jesus. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.) I woke up.   I received Acts 13:49-50 by faith at random: 49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.” (Factious spirits of slander and lies turn people away from the Word.) (These factious usurpers will stir up those that are seemingly devout or honorable in the eyes of the apostates (the Jews) to bring persecution against the two brothers that have been ordained to lead the rest, like the poor struggling woman).     Enemy Tares  Tianna Fire 4/24/23  (David's notes in red) (This is a revelation about the dangers of even thinking slanderous thoughts).  I had been getting many strange attacks in the spiritual; unusual thoughts and feelings and many physical attacks all at once. I didn't mention this to my husband Samuel, but I went and had a bath and was wondering to the Lord why all these crazy attacks are happening. I saw that there was a specific person, and the enemy was giving her evil thoughts regarding me, and she was unknowingly agreeing with those thoughts not realizing it was demons and this gave legal right for the demons to attack me regarding the evil curse thoughts. (Rev 12:10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.)  I then had a vision of a few other people from my past and some people that fell away from The Truth, and the enemy was giving them thoughts about me and then the people were unknowingly speaking curses out loud against me. (James 3:5-12 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? 12 can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet.)  I was able to understand the enemy was using these people to get a legal right to attack me, hence all the crazy physical and spiritual attacks. All of this worked because God has given authority to the humans, that what they speak they get. (Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) We either curse or bless and the consequences of humans' thoughts and words are more powerful than we really understand. The Lord had allowed me to see where the mental and physical attacks were all coming from. (2 Cor 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ).  Then I heard in my spirit that because Jesus has paid the price for us, we have the power to not accept these attacks. Even though the enemy tries to use humans' thoughts and words against us, we don't have to allow the thoughts and words to affect us. Mat 18:18-19 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.  We are not under the curse, and we are blessed because of faith in Jesus. The attacks, the evil thoughts, evil feelings and pains, all were put on Jesus because He paid the price to take it away.  But we still have the choice to accept the curse and allow the enemy to attack us, or we can give it to Jesus, which He already took it. (Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.) (Pro 26:2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.) As soon as I heard this I agreed and I didn't accept these curses and idle thoughts against me and I agreed that Jesus paid the price, and the attacks completely calmed, praise God and ALL Glory to The Creator of all for all eternity! (1 Pet 2:24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.)  Later I went to Samuel, and he had been spending alone time with God. Samuel had a prayer that he wrote up for me to agree with and it was related to what God had revealed to me. This was the prayer:   “Do you agree that all curses, idle words and all witchcraft is broken off us and all the Brethren? That anyone that isn't wanting to follow the Real Jesus will not try to contact or see us unless they are manifesting Christ, and that all of the Brethren are healed, restored, and we will have enough provisions, and everything is restored or replaced with better? That we will never be separated from each other, and that we be Godly parents to David forever to glorify God in all we do; and that we manifest His Word and Christ in us, 100-fold all the time? That we will be His vessels, used to help others be closer to the Lord, being His Hands and Feet to establish His Kingdom, and we that we receive all this is now?!  Thank You Almighty Father in Jesus Name for doing all these according to Your Word and Promises!”    Bulletproof In Christ  Tianna Fire  12/19/22  (David's notes in red) I dreamt Samuel and I were at a school at night, packing up our belongings to take to the car. We then saw men in red shirts doing suspicious activity in the school. (Sin is red in Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  (These men represent a factious and Judas spirit).  So we walked back to the car and these men chased us and were making threats and trying to scare us. I was holding my son David and I said to him that the men won't touch or hurt us, and they didn't. More men appeared to us, and they were right next to us and behind us and in front of us. They were trying to intimidate us and give us fear, even though they were so close to us, they couldn't touch us.  (1Jn 5:18 We know that every one begotten of God sinneth not; but who was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not).  Samuel and I got in the car with David and the men kept threatening us. More men appeared, around 30 of them, and they were all angry and upset and making threats. They had guns and knives and were bashing the car. The men were trying to scare us and put fear in us, but because of our faith that God wouldn't let them touch us, they didn't.  My son David was much older than he is in real life, and he sat on my lap. (This represents the maturing of our fruit during trials). Samuel reversed the car and started to drive across the carpark to the exit, and there were even more men with machine guns near the exit.  I said to my son David, “We are hidden in Christ and God has made us bullet proof,” to build his faith and for him not to give into fear. They were all constantly shooting at us. It was so loud, and they were hitting us, but nothing would break or penetrate the car. God made us bullet proof. (According to your faith in the One Who conquered all. Eph 6:16 in all things taking up the shield of the faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.)  We drove out and they chased us on the streets, still threatening and trying to hurt us. Some of them got into a van to try and come after us. Then Samuel drove up to the end of the street, and proceeded into a forest where there was a giant panda bear waiting to protect us. From a distance, we watched the men driving in their van after us, thinking they would follow us into the forest because they saw us go in there, but they turned instead and did not follow us into the forest.  God was faithful to protect us when we believed He would. However, we were tested to see if we would give into our carnal sight and fear. I then saw the exact same thing. We were back at the school, and we saw the men again and they started chasing us, but we started walking to the car very calmly. And this time all the people surrounded us on the way back to the car. They were all so angry and intimidating.  I then said aloud, "Jesus has all power and authority over you, and every knee must bow, and every tongue must confess Jesus is Lord, so all of you start praising God right now". (Php 2:9-11 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and endowed him with the name above every name; 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to God the Father's glory).  They all dropped their weapons and started singing praises to God! Then I woke up.    Angels Block Factious Witchcraft Attacks Tianna Fire 5/13/14   During our worship, Tianna saw the factious trying to attack us with witchcraft, so we started praying in tongues, and then Tianna saw small to medium sized Holy Angels all surrounding everyone from all different angles, and they were like a complete bubble of protection, and there was too many to count. And there was 1 big giant Holy Angel over everyone.      Bride Overcoming the Dominion of Satan  Claire Pienaar   5/11/23 (David's notes in red) Last night I woke up at 2:22 a.m. (1 Peter 2:22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.)   I started praying for both David and Michael and checked my email, reading for the first time concerning the latest faction. Afterward I started praying for the latest victim to faction and had this vision.  In this dream I am used as a type of the Bride. I saw myself in front of the throne of Satan in hell. I knew it was hell because there were red flames everywhere. I knew he'd made his own throne. He said, “Bow to me!”. I said, “I will never bow to you”. This repeated 4 times, and each time my flesh felt like it was being pulverised onto my bones with intense pressure. Each time I answered with more boldness. The fourth time I denied him, light exploded from my chest and shattered his throne and he either exploded too or went flying.  As the Lord was using me as a type of the corporate bride body, we can rest that the true members of this body will never bow the knee to the enemy. No evil will be found in our mouths or our hearts.

JESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM – Jesus Walking in the Way of the Cross (VIDEO)   LYRICS TO MUSIC: Daughters of Jerusalem Do not weep for me Cry for yourselves and your children Follow on Hosea's lead   Blessed are those who barren sit Who've never known their children's screams They'll ask the mountains please fall on us Follow on Hosea's lead For terror comes with Roman siege   MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Throughout the Bible there are dozens of women who are plagued with infertility, whether it be for a short time or a lifetime. Beyond the well known stories like that of Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and Rachel, and Zechariah and Elizabeth, there are countless others among the scriptures who cannot bear children. Some are healed, some are not. Some women are even restored in large numbers. All of Abimelek's wives, though exactly how many there were is unknown, are given fruitful wombs after Sarah is returned to Abraham (Genesis 20:17-18).   The prominence of these stories exemplifies a common theme throughout Jewish and non-Jewish history alike. A woman's ability to have children was vitally important. It was praiseworthy and fulfilling. Jewish custom praised motherhood and stigmatized the barren. It is surprising then to hear Jesus' words as he speaks to the women of Jerusalem. It was not uncommon for women in the city to attend the executions of criminals by the Roman leadership. They would often mix a palliative of wine and spices to offer those being tortured. They would eventually offer the same to Jesus, though he would refuse it. But it is to these women that we hear Jesus' last words of true discourse. As these women ‘mourn and lament' for the tragedy that unfolds before their eyes, Jesus speaks at length concerning the coming catastrophe they do not yet see. And in doing so, he directly opposes a truth they had likely never before heard challenged.   ‘Blessed are those who are barren.' Jesus' statement is shocking. But to those familiar with the prophets, it was a statement that was not new. Jesus uses the exact words of the prophet Hosea. As Hosea prophesied that Israel would be destroyed and punished for its unfaithfulness to Yahweh, so too does Jesus use his words to predict the same. Some forty years after Jesus' death, Roman soldiers would enter Jerusalem and utterly destroy it. Those who took up arms and those who did not were murdered indiscriminately. Each stone of the temple would be annihilated at Roman order. Every tree was cut down, and the city was made into ruin.   This is certainly one of the acts of which Jesus spoke. A Roman siege that would leave behind a mountain of anguish and sorrow to be carried upon the backs of the women who now wept for him. As Jesus himself continues, the coming violence will make them “say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,' and to the hills, ‘Cover us.'” Jesus describes a fate worse than death.   Though the sight before the women's eyes seemed the greatest of horrors, Jesus knew the horror to come would be far worse. More importantly however, he again exemplifies his humility. He desires no pity or concern for himself, but rather cares for those standing before him. He mourns over the injustice to come, disregarding the pressing pain of his own circumstances. Written by Jesse Braswell Roberts / Poor Bishop Hooper golgothamusic.com // poorbishophooper.com // Second edition ©2022 Jesse Braswell Roberts / Poor Bishop Hooper   TODAY'S PRAYER: How often do we worry more about ourselves than the tragedies around us? What injustices would God have us mourn over? Pray for those situations. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:12f SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Luke 23:27-31: “A large number of people followed him, including  women  who  mourned  and wailed for him.     Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will say to the mountains, Fall on us!' and to the hills, Cover us!' For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?””.

Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” Then Abimelek king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.

IN THIS EPISODE: Abraham lies and gets Abimelek in trouble with God.

Sermon Notes Generational Sin: Is it real? Is it inevitable? Can it be broken? Exodus 20:4-6 NIV "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." Jeremiah 32:17-19 NIV "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps of their children after them. Great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord Almighty, great are your purposes, and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve." How much permanent damage can a parent do in their child’s life? Genesis 24:1 NIV "Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way." Genesis 25:11 NIV "After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi." Genesis 26:1 NIV "Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek, king of the Philistines in Gerar." Genesis 12:10 NIV "Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe." Genesis 26:2-5 NIV "The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, 'Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants, I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father, Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees, and my instructions.'" Genesis 26:6-7 NIV "So Isaac stayed in Gerar. When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, 'She is my sister,' because he was afraid to say, 'She is my wife.' He thought, 'The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah because she is beautiful.'" Generational Sin: The unhealthy patterns handed down to us by our parents. How can I break the pattern? 1. Believe in Jesus because God is for you. Genesis 26:12-13 NIV "Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy." 1 Peter 1:18-21 MSG "Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God." 2. Believe that through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome any temptation. Galatians 5:16-17 NIV "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other so that you are not to do whatever you want." 3. Make repentance and forgiveness part of your redemption story House Rules: This is a safe place. We will move forward when you are OK again. As your leader… I’ll decide when you’re ready. There is more than enough grace in our home to overcome any of your bad moments and bad days. If you mess up… fess up.
