With family: 2 Samuel 17; 2 Corinthians 10 2 Samuel 17 (Listen) Hushai Saves David 17 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man,1 and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, “Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say.” 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, “Thus has Ahithophel spoken; shall we do as he says? If not, you speak.” 7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good.” 8 Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged,2 like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people. 9 Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall3 at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.' 10 Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men. 11 But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person. 12 So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left. 13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we shall drag it into the valley, until not even a pebble is to be found there.” 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had ordained4 to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring harm upon Absalom. 15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled. 16 Now therefore send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'” 17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city. 18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it. 19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, and nothing was known of it. 20 When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook5 of water.” And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 21 After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, “Arise, and go quickly over the water, for thus and so has Ahithophel counseled against you.” 22 Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed the Jordan. By daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Jordan. 23 When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went off home to his own city. He set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father. 24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel. 25 Now Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite,6 who had married Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother. 26 And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead. 27 When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28 brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans and lentils,7 29 honey and curds and sheep and cheese from the herd, for David and the people with him to eat, for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.” Footnotes [1] 17:3 Septuagint; Hebrew back to you.

If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. 8 For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 9 I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. 10 For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.” 11 Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. 12 Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. 13 But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you. 14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. 15 We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged, 16 so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's area of influence. 17 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. (ESV) In private: Psalm 72; Ezekiel 24 Psalm 72 (Listen) Give the King Your Justice Of Solomon. 72   Give the king your justice, O God,    and your righteousness to the royal son!2   May he judge your people with righteousness,    and your poor with justice!3   Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,    and the hills, in righteousness!4   May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,    give deliverance to the children of the needy,    and crush the oppressor! 5   May they fear you1 while the sun endures,    and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!6   May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,    like showers that water the earth!7   In his days may the righteous flourish,    and peace abound, till the moon be no more! 8   May he have dominion from sea to sea,    and from the River2 to the ends of the earth!9   May desert tribes bow down before him,    and his enemies lick the dust!10   May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands    render him tribute;  may the kings of Sheba and Seba    bring gifts!11   May all kings fall down before him,    all nations serve him! 12   For he delivers the needy when he calls,    the poor and him who has no helper.13   He has pity on the weak and the needy,    and saves the lives of the needy.14   From oppression and violence he redeems their life,    and precious is their blood in his sight. 15   Long may he live;    may gold of Sheba be given to him!  May prayer be made for him continually,    and blessings invoked for him all the day!16   May there be abundance of grain in the land;    on the tops of the mountains may it wave;    may its fruit be like Lebanon;  and may people blossom in the cities    like the grass of the field!17   May his name endure forever,    his fame continue as long as the sun!  May people be blessed in him,    all nations call him blessed! 18   Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,    who alone does wondrous things.19   Blessed be his glorious name forever;    may the whole earth be filled with his glory!      Amen and Amen! 20   The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended. Footnotes [1] 72:5 Septuagint He shall endure [2] 72:8 That is, the Euphrates (ESV) Ezekiel 24 (Listen) The Siege of Jerusalem 24 In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. 3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Set on the pot, set it on;    pour in water also;4   put in it the pieces of meat,    all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder;    fill it with choice bones.5   Take the choicest one of the flock;    pile the logs1 under it;  boil it well;    seethe also its bones in it. 6 “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.2 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices,3 and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 She has wearied herself with toil;4 its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you. 14 I am the LORD. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel's Wife Dies 15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. 17 Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.” 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded. 19 And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?” 20 Then I said to them, “The word of the LORD came to me: 21 ‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. 22 And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another. 24 Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.' 25 “As for you, son of man, surely on the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes and their soul's desire, and also their sons and daughters, 26 on that day a fugitive will come to you to report to you the news. 27 On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.” Footnotes [1] 24:5 Compare verse 10; Hebrew the bones [2] 24:6 Hebrew no lot has fallen upon it [3] 24:10 Or empty out the broth [4] 24:12 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain (ESV)

And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens :  2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.Simile factum est regnum caelorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.  3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.  4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my calves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.Iterum misit alios servos, dicens : Dicite invitatis : Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata : venite ad nuptias.  5 But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.Illi autem neglexerunt : et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam :  6 And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.  7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est : et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.  8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.Tunc ait servis suis : Nuptiae quidem paratae sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni :  9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.  10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos : et impletae sunt nuptiae discumbentium.  11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.Intravit autem rex ut viderent discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.  12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.Et ait illi : Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutavit.  13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Tunc dicit rex ministris : Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores : ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.  14 For many are called, but few are chosen.Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi. St Joseph Cupertino, a humble Franciscan Friar of Cupertino Italy, could acquire but little of book knowledge and needed divine help to qualify for priesthood, was favored by his crucified God with a marvelous grace of contemplation, and with the remarkable power of miracles. He died at Orsino A.D. 1663.

Dr. Katherine Ramsland, an esteemed figure in the field of forensic psychology and author of the autobiography on Dennis Rader, the infamous BTK Killer, recently joined host Tony Brueski on the popular podcast "Hidden Killers." Ramsland provided an unprecedented window into her years of correspondence with Rader, giving audiences a peek into the mind of one of the most notorious serial killers alive today.    Ramsland spent years corresponding with Rader, building a unique understanding of his motives and tactics. "He didn't get caught, so that... better, but he killed only three months later. It wasn't a very long time to pass... Nothing in the news suggested he had been seen, that they had a suspect," explained Ramsland. Her conversations with Rader gave her a deep understanding of his methods, his mindset, and the chilling indifference with which he approached his terrible deeds.    Ramsland offered an intriguing analysis of Rader's criminal modus operandi. After not getting caught in his early crimes, Rader appeared to grow more confident, targeting victims with a calculated attention to detail and pattern. This behavior resulted in his eventual moniker: BTK, standing for Bind, Torture, Kill.    Ramsland delved into a particular incident where Rader broke into a home with a young woman and her brother. Despite shooting the brother, Kevin, in the head, the victim was able to escape and become a witness to Rader's crime. Rader's adaptability and terrifying perseverance became apparent. "Now Raiders [Rader] realizing, oh my God, now we have a witness. And I have very little time, but still he stayed," recounted Ramsland.    She also shared Rader's modus operandi of 'cubing.' "On each side is an identity. So, Boy Scout, volunteer, good husband, serial killer, thief, good father, church president," Ramsland explained. "He could turn whatever side he needed, depending on the circumstances, and flip to another one if needed." This allowed Rader to live a seemingly normal life while leading a horrifying parallel existence.    Brueski asked Ramsland about any suspicions Rader's family might have had. Ramsland shared that Rader was at times afraid that his wife might be onto him, but she noted that it is not common for family members to suspect their loved ones of being serial killers. Rader's double life continued, largely unexamined by those closest to him.    When asked if Rader had conditioned his family to aid in his deception, Ramsland noted that it wasn't just family but friends and co-workers too who were manipulated by Rader's dual persona. She added that people living a double life, whether they're serial killers or merely unfaithful spouses, are "actively deceiving people on a regular basis."    The chilling conversation with Dr. Ramsland offered rare insights into the mind of a serial killer and the complexities surrounding their perceived normalcy. The five-part series promises to delve deeper into these chilling narratives, presenting listeners with a unique exploration of the darkest corners of human psychology.

Welcome to Day 2193 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 7:1-5 – Daily Wisdom  Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2193 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2193 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget,  I'm thrilled to continue our exploration of the timeless wisdom found in the book of Proverbs 7:1-5 from the New Living Translation. So, let's put on our hiking boots and embark on this enlightening journey together. Pause… Proverbs 7:1-5 contains a powerful message about the treasure of wisdom and its role in safeguarding our lives. These verses remind us of the immense value of acquiring and applying wisdom to our daily walk. Verse 1-2: “My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye.” These opening verses are an earnest plea from a wise father to his son. The writer emphasizes the importance of cherishing and internalizing wisdom. To “treasure up my commandments” is like storing away precious gems. It's a call to make wisdom a part of who we are, to guard it as closely as we protect the apple of our eye. Pause… Verse 3-4: “Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,' and call insight your intimate friend.” Guthrie: These verses encourage us to take wisdom beyond mere knowledge. Binding wisdom on our fingers and writing it on the tablet of our hearts signifies a constant, conscious connection with wisdom. The comparison of wisdom to a sister and insight to an intimate friend highlights the importance of nurturing a deep and personal relationship with wisdom. Pause… Verse 5: “To keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.” The practical application of this wisdom is straightforward – it serves to protect us from temptation and destructive paths. By treasuring and internalizing wisdom, we guard ourselves against the seductive words and enticements of the world. Wisdom is our shield and guide, helping us make choices that lead to life and fulfillment. Pause… As we reflect on Proverbs 7:1-5, we must recognize that wisdom is not just theoretical knowledge; it's a living presence that shapes our actions and decisions. Pause… Take a moment to consider these questions: How can you actively treasure and internalize wisdom in your life? In what ways can you nurture a deeper relationship with wisdom? Remember, wisdom is not a distant concept; it's a treasure within your reach, waiting to guide you toward a life of purpose and fulfillment. Pause… Guthrie: Let's summarize the key takeaways from Proverbs 7:1-5: Treasure Wisdom: Wisdom is a treasure that should be cherished and internalized, guiding us in our daily walk. Guard It Closely: Just as we protect the apple of our eye, we must guard

Old Testament: Proverbs 5–6 Proverbs 5–6 (Listen) Warning Against Adultery 5   My son, be attentive to my wisdom;    incline your ear to my understanding,2   that you may keep discretion,    and your lips may guard knowledge.3   For the lips of a forbidden1 woman drip honey,    and her speech2 is smoother than oil,4   but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,    sharp as a two-edged sword.5   Her feet go down to death;    her steps follow the path to3 Sheol;6   she does not ponder the path of life;    her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7   And now, O sons, listen to me,    and do not depart from the words of my mouth.8   Keep your way far from her,    and do not go near the door of her house,9   lest you give your honor to others    and your years to the merciless,10   lest strangers take their fill of your strength,    and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,11   and at the end of your life you groan,    when your flesh and body are consumed,12   and you say, “How I hated discipline,    and my heart despised reproof!13   I did not listen to the voice of my teachers    or incline my ear to my instructors.14   I am at the brink of utter ruin    in the assembled congregation.” 15   Drink water from your own cistern,    flowing water from your own well.16   Should your springs be scattered abroad,    streams of water in the streets?17   Let them be for yourself alone,    and not for strangers with you.18   Let your fountain be blessed,    and rejoice in the wife of your youth,19     a lovely deer, a graceful doe.  Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;    be intoxicated4 always in her love.20   Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman    and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?521   For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD,    and he ponders6 all his paths.22   The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.23   He dies for lack of discipline,    and because of his great folly he is led astray. Practical Warnings 6   My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,    have given your pledge for a stranger,2   if you are snared in the words of your mouth,    caught in the words of your mouth,3   then do this, my son, and save yourself,    for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:    go, hasten,7 and plead urgently with your neighbor.4   Give your eyes no sleep    and your eyelids no slumber;5   save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,8    like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6   Go to the ant, O sluggard;    consider her ways, and be wise.7   Without having any chief,    officer, or ruler,8   she prepares her bread in summer    and gathers her food in harvest.9   How long will you lie there, O sluggard?    When will you arise from your sleep?10   A little sleep, a little slumber,    a little folding of the hands to rest,11   and poverty will come upon you like a robber,    and want like an armed man. 12   A worthless person, a wicked man,    goes about with crooked speech,13   winks with his eyes, signals9 with his feet,    points with his finger,14   with perverted heart devises evil,    continually sowing discord;15   therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;    in a moment he will be broken beyond healing. 16   There are six things that the LORD hates,    seven that are an abomination to him:17   haughty eyes, a lying tongue,    and hands that shed innocent blood,18   a heart that devises wicked plans,    feet that make haste to run to evil,19   a false witness who breathes out lies,    and one who sows discord among brothers. Warnings Against Adultery 20   My son, keep your father's commandment,    and forsake not your mother's teaching.21   Bind them on your heart always;    tie them around your neck.22   When you walk, they10 will lead you;    when you lie down, they will watch over you;    and when you awake, they will talk with you.23   For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,    and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,24   to preserve you from the evil woman,11    from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.1225   Do not desire her beauty in your heart,    and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;26   for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,13    but a married woman14 hunts down a precious life.27   Can a man carry fire next to his chest    and his clothes not be burned?28   Or can one walk on hot coals    and his feet not be scorched?29   So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;    none who touches her will go unpunished.30   People do not despise a thief if he steals    to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,31   but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;    he will give all the goods of his house.32   He who commits adultery lacks sense;    he who does it destroys himself.33   He will get wounds and dishonor,    and his disgrace will not be wiped away.34   For jealousy makes a man furious,    and he will not spare when he takes revenge.35   He will accept no compensation;    he will refuse though you multiply gifts.

He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and2 we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Fight the Good Fight of Faith 11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before3 Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. 17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. 20 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” 21 for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.4 Footnotes [1] 6:3 Or healthy [2] 6:7 Greek for; some manuscripts insert [it is] certain [that] [3] 6:13 Or in the time of [4] 6:21 The Greek for you is plural (ESV) Psalm: Psalm 65 Psalm 65 (Listen) O God of Our Salvation To the choirmaster.

Old Testament: Proverbs 5–6 Proverbs 5–6 (Listen) Warning Against Adultery 5   My son, be attentive to my wisdom;    incline your ear to my understanding,2   that you may keep discretion,    and your lips may guard knowledge.3   For the lips of a forbidden1 woman drip honey,    and her speech2 is smoother than oil,4   but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,    sharp as a two-edged sword.5   Her feet go down to death;    her steps follow the path to3 Sheol;6   she does not ponder the path of life;    her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7   And now, O sons, listen to me,    and do not depart from the words of my mouth.8   Keep your way far from her,    and do not go near the door of her house,9   lest you give your honor to others    and your years to the merciless,10   lest strangers take their fill of your strength,    and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,11   and at the end of your life you groan,    when your flesh and body are consumed,12   and you say, “How I hated discipline,    and my heart despised reproof!13   I did not listen to the voice of my teachers    or incline my ear to my instructors.14   I am at the brink of utter ruin    in the assembled congregation.” 15   Drink water from your own cistern,    flowing water from your own well.16   Should your springs be scattered abroad,    streams of water in the streets?17   Let them be for yourself alone,    and not for strangers with you.18   Let your fountain be blessed,    and rejoice in the wife of your youth,19     a lovely deer, a graceful doe.  Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;    be intoxicated4 always in her love.20   Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman    and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?521   For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD,    and he ponders6 all his paths.22   The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.23   He dies for lack of discipline,    and because of his great folly he is led astray. Practical Warnings 6   My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,    have given your pledge for a stranger,2   if you are snared in the words of your mouth,    caught in the words of your mouth,3   then do this, my son, and save yourself,    for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:    go, hasten,7 and plead urgently with your neighbor.4   Give your eyes no sleep    and your eyelids no slumber;5   save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,8    like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6   Go to the ant, O sluggard;    consider her ways, and be wise.7   Without having any chief,    officer, or ruler,8   she prepares her bread in summer    and gathers her food in harvest.9   How long will you lie there, O sluggard?    When will you arise from your sleep?10   A little sleep, a little slumber,    a little folding of the hands to rest,11   and poverty will come upon you like a robber,    and want like an armed man. 12   A worthless person, a wicked man,    goes about with crooked speech,13   winks with his eyes, signals9 with his feet,    points with his finger,14   with perverted heart devises evil,    continually sowing discord;15   therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;    in a moment he will be broken beyond healing. 16   There are six things that the LORD hates,    seven that are an abomination to him:17   haughty eyes, a lying tongue,    and hands that shed innocent blood,18   a heart that devises wicked plans,    feet that make haste to run to evil,19   a false witness who breathes out lies,    and one who sows discord among brothers. Warnings Against Adultery 20   My son, keep your father's commandment,    and forsake not your mother's teaching.21   Bind them on your heart always;    tie them around your neck.22   When you walk, they10 will lead you;    when you lie down, they will watch over you;    and when you awake, they will talk with you.23   For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,    and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,24   to preserve you from the evil woman,11    from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.1225   Do not desire her beauty in your heart,    and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;26   for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,13    but a married woman14 hunts down a precious life.27   Can a man carry fire next to his chest    and his clothes not be burned?28   Or can one walk on hot coals    and his feet not be scorched?29   So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;    none who touches her will go unpunished.30   People do not despise a thief if he steals    to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,31   but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;    he will give all the goods of his house.32   He who commits adultery lacks sense;    he who does it destroys himself.33   He will get wounds and dishonor,    and his disgrace will not be wiped away.34   For jealousy makes a man furious,    and he will not spare when he takes revenge.35   He will accept no compensation;    he will refuse though you multiply gifts.

Footnotes [1] 65:1 Or Praise waits for you in silence [2] 65:9 Or and make it overflow (ESV) New Testament: John 5 John 5 (Listen) The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath 5 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic1 called Bethesda,2 which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.3 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews4 said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” Jesus Is Equal with God 18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. The Authority of the Son 19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father5 does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. Witnesses to Jesus 30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” Footnotes [1] 5:2 Or Hebrew [2] 5:2 Some manuscripts Bethsaida [3] 5:3 Some manuscripts insert, wholly or in part, waiting for the moving of the water; 4for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred the water: whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had

Ezekiel 23–24 Ezekiel 23–24 (Listen) Oholah and Oholibah 23 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. 3 They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms1 handled. 4 Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem. 5 “Oholah played the whore while she was mine, and she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors 6 clothed in purple, governors and commanders, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7 She bestowed her whoring upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols of everyone after whom she lusted. 8 She did not give up her whoring that she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her. 9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10 These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters; and as for her, they killed her with the sword; and she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed on her. 11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became more corrupt than her sister2 in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister. 12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14 But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, she turned from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. 19 Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20 and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed3 your young breasts.” 22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side: 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. 24 And they shall come against you from the north4 with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments. 25 And I will direct my jealousy against you, that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire. 26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels. 27 Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore. 28 “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust, 29 and they shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring 30 have brought this upon you, because you played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. 31 You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand. 32 Thus says the Lord GOD:   “You shall drink your sister's cup    that is deep and large;  you shall be laughed at and held in derision,    for it contains much;33   you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow.  A cup of horror and desolation,    the cup of your sister Samaria;34   you shall drink it and drain it out,    and gnaw its shards,    and tear your breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. 35 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you yourself must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring.” 36 The LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Declare to them their abominations. 37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up5 to them for food the children whom they had borne to me. 38 Moreover, this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and profaned my Sabbaths. 39 For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, this is what they did in my house. 40 They even sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments. 41 You sat on a stately couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed my incense and my oil. 42 The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards6 were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of the women, and beautiful crowns on their heads. 43 “Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, ‘Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!'7 44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women! 45 But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.” 46 For thus says the Lord GOD: “Bring up a vast host against them, and make them an object of terror and a plunder. 47 And the host shall stone them and cut them down with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses. 48 Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done. 49 And they shall return your lewdness upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry, and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.” The Siege of Jerusalem 24 In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. 3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Set on the pot, set it on;    pour in water also;4   put in it the pieces of meat,    all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder;    fill it with choice bones.5   Take the choicest one of the flock;    pile the logs8 under it;  boil it well;    seethe also its bones in it. 6 “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.9 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices,10 and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 She has wearied herself with toil;11 its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you. 14 I am the LORD. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel's Wife Dies 15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. 17 Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.” 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded. 19 And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?” 20 Then I said to them, “The word of the LORD came to me: 21 ‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. 22 And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another. 24 Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.' 25 “As for you, son of man, surely on the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes and their soul's desire, and also their sons and daughters, 26 on that day a fugitive will come to you to report to you the news. 27 On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.” Footnotes [1] 23:3 Hebrew nipples; also verses 8, 21 [2] 23:11 Hebrew than she [3] 23:21 Vulgate, Syriac; Hebrew bosom for the sake of [4] 23:24 Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown [5] 23:37 Or have even made pass through the fire [6] 23:42 Or Sabeans [7] 23:43 The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain [8] 24:5 Compare verse 10; Hebrew the bones [9] 24:6 Hebrew no lot has fallen upon it [10] 24:10 Or empty out the broth [11] 24:12 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain (ESV)

The term "BTK" stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill," which was the chilling signature used by a notorious American serial killer who terrorized the Wichita, Kansas area from the 1970s to the 1990s. The BTK killer's real name is Dennis Rader.Dennis Rader was a seemingly ordinary family man and church leader. However, beneath this façade, he committed a series of gruesome murders over several decades. His modus operandi involved stalking and then breaking into the homes of his victims, often killing them in a brutal and sadistic manner. Rader taunted law enforcement and the media with letters, poems, and cryptic messages detailing his crimes.Despite his prolonged reign of terror, Rader remained elusive for many years. However, he was eventually apprehended in 2005 when he sent a floppy disk to the police, which contained metadata that could be traced back to him. In a shocking confession, he admitted to the BTK murders and provided chilling details about his crimes during his trial.In 2005, Dennis Rader was sentenced to ten consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole. The case of the BTK killer remains one of the most disturbing and perplexing in the annals of American criminal history, as it revealed the capacity for extreme violence and deception hidden behind a seemingly ordinary suburban life.Now, almost two decades after his arrest, new information has been revealed that might link Dennis Radar to even more murders.

Morning Prayer to Bind my day to God's Will.

Morning: Proverbs 5–6 Proverbs 5–6 (Listen) Warning Against Adultery 5   My son, be attentive to my wisdom;    incline your ear to my understanding,2   that you may keep discretion,    and your lips may guard knowledge.3   For the lips of a forbidden1 woman drip honey,    and her speech2 is smoother than oil,4   but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,    sharp as a two-edged sword.5   Her feet go down to death;    her steps follow the path to3 Sheol;6   she does not ponder the path of life;    her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7   And now, O sons, listen to me,    and do not depart from the words of my mouth.8   Keep your way far from her,    and do not go near the door of her house,9   lest you give your honor to others    and your years to the merciless,10   lest strangers take their fill of your strength,    and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,11   and at the end of your life you groan,    when your flesh and body are consumed,12   and you say, “How I hated discipline,    and my heart despised reproof!13   I did not listen to the voice of my teachers    or incline my ear to my instructors.14   I am at the brink of utter ruin    in the assembled congregation.” 15   Drink water from your own cistern,    flowing water from your own well.16   Should your springs be scattered abroad,    streams of water in the streets?17   Let them be for yourself alone,    and not for strangers with you.18   Let your fountain be blessed,    and rejoice in the wife of your youth,19     a lovely deer, a graceful doe.  Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;    be intoxicated4 always in her love.20   Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman    and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?521   For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD,    and he ponders6 all his paths.22   The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.23   He dies for lack of discipline,    and because of his great folly he is led astray. Practical Warnings 6   My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,    have given your pledge for a stranger,2   if you are snared in the words of your mouth,    caught in the words of your mouth,3   then do this, my son, and save yourself,    for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:    go, hasten,7 and plead urgently with your neighbor.4   Give your eyes no sleep    and your eyelids no slumber;5   save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,8    like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6   Go to the ant, O sluggard;    consider her ways, and be wise.7   Without having any chief,    officer, or ruler,8   she prepares her bread in summer    and gathers her food in harvest.9   How long will you lie there, O sluggard?    When will you arise from your sleep?10   A little sleep, a little slumber,    a little folding of the hands to rest,11   and poverty will come upon you like a robber,    and want like an armed man. 12   A worthless person, a wicked man,    goes about with crooked speech,13   winks with his eyes, signals9 with his feet,    points with his finger,14   with perverted heart devises evil,    continually sowing discord;15   therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;    in a moment he will be broken beyond healing. 16   There are six things that the LORD hates,    seven that are an abomination to him:17   haughty eyes, a lying tongue,    and hands that shed innocent blood,18   a heart that devises wicked plans,    feet that make haste to run to evil,19   a false witness who breathes out lies,    and one who sows discord among brothers. Warnings Against Adultery 20   My son, keep your father's commandment,    and forsake not your mother's teaching.21   Bind them on your heart always;    tie them around your neck.22   When you walk, they10 will lead you;    when you lie down, they will watch over you;    and when you awake, they will talk with you.23   For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,    and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,24   to preserve you from the evil woman,11    from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.1225   Do not desire her beauty in your heart,    and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;26   for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,13    but a married woman14 hunts down a precious life.27   Can a man carry fire next to his chest    and his clothes not be burned?28   Or can one walk on hot coals    and his feet not be scorched?29   So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;    none who touches her will go unpunished.30   People do not despise a thief if he steals    to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,31   but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;    he will give all the goods of his house.32   He who commits adultery lacks sense;    he who does it destroys himself.33   He will get wounds and dishonor,    and his disgrace will not be wiped away.34   For jealousy makes a man furious,    and he will not spare when he takes revenge.35   He will accept no compensation;    he will refuse though you multiply gifts. Footnotes [1] 5:3 Hebrew strange; also verse 20 [2] 5:3 Hebrew palate [3] 5:5 Hebrew lay hold of [4] 5:19 Hebrew be led astray; also verse 20 [5] 5:20 Hebrew a foreign woman [6] 5:21 Or makes level [7] 6:3 Or humble yourself [8] 6:5 Hebrew lacks of the hunter [9] 6:13 Hebrew scrapes [10] 6:22 Hebrew it; three times in this verse [11] 6:24 Revocalization (compare Septuagint) yields from the wife of a neighbor [12] 6:24 Hebrew the foreign woman [13] 6:26 Or (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate) for a prostitute leaves a man with nothing but a loaf of bread [14] 6:26 Hebrew a man's wife (ESV) Evening: 1 Corinthians 14:1–20 1 Corinthians 14:1–20 (Listen) Prophecy and Tongues 14 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 6 Now, brothers,1 if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. 13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider2 say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. Footnotes [1] 14:6 Or brothers and sisters; also verses 20, 26, 39 [2] 14:16 Or of him that is without gifts (ESV)

The same Modus Operandi as Rader.Rawson opens up about life at home with Rader and how she recently spoke with him in prison to help investigators solve the cold cases.WEBSITE (Case Photos)http://www.truecrimedeadline.comSOCIAL MEDIA:https://twitter.com/CrimeDeadlinehttps://www.instagram.com/truecrimedeadline/https://www.facebook.com/TrueCrimeDEADLINE/Support the show

Oklahoma officials have recently unearthed crucial evidence from the former property of notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, situated in Park City, Kansas. The disturbing discovery included "personal items and other binding type items,” according to Osage County Sheriff, Eddie Virden. The sheriff's department also found pantyhose with unique knots tied around the points where they would potentially wrap around a person's wrist or ankle.    Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK killer – an acronym for "Bind, Torture, Kill" – was a church leader and Boy Scout volunteer. He is currently incarcerated, serving multiple life sentences for 10 murders that took place around Wichita between 1974 and 1991. Today, Rader emerges as the “prime suspect” in the cold case disappearance of Cynthia ‘Cyndi' Dawn Kinney, a 16-year-old from Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The sheriff's office has also linked Rader to other unsolved murders.    Rader's involvement in these heinous crimes has been a matter of significant speculation. Sheriff Virden is convinced about Rader's connection to the 1976 disappearance of Kinney. "Rader is 100%, in my opinion, the guy," Virden remarked. However, both Rader and his daughter have persistently denied these accusations.    In a previous excavation conducted in April at Rader's former home, officials uncovered vital evidence that was kept under wraps. This week's dig could have been another discreet operation if not for the word getting out. Sheriff Virden explained that the secrecy was not to hide information but rather to protect the affected families and to ensure the investigation remains uncompromised.    Sheriff Virden provided insight into the recent findings, stating, "The items were deliberately placed 14-16 inches below the ground." This depth is significant as it reflects Rader's meticulous nature and his history of retaining souvenirs from his victims. Two separate locations in the property revealed deliberately buried items. One such location had its soil replaced with a sand-like substance and appeared to have a brick floor with shingles, possibly to shield the buried items. The sheriff remains uncertain whether these found items pertain to the 10 murders for which Rader is currently serving his sentences or if they relate to the newer cases he is suspected of.    One of the primary cold cases linked to Rader is that of Cynthia Dawn Kinney. Kinney mysteriously vanished in 1976 after reportedly leaving her family's laundromat and possibly entering a 1965 faded beige Plymouth with two women. Several clues hint at Rader's involvement, including a cryptic message in a book he was penning before his arrest, referencing a 1976 killing titled "project bad laundry day." Further, Rader's known familiarity with the Oklahoma region, combined with his occupation as a regional installer for ADT – which would have put him in proximity to the area during Kinney's disappearance – strengthen suspicions of his involvement.    Rader is also under investigation for his potential involvement in other tragic incidents, like the unfortunate case of Shawna Beth Garber from Missouri.    Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, broke her prolonged silence to collaborate with the Osage County Sheriff's Office in their ongoing investigation. Rawson disclosed that she had directed the sheriff's office to inspect specific areas where Rader had previously buried their family pet. She has also re-established contact with her father, confronting him about the new allegations. Although he reiterated his innocence, Rawson observed that he frequently altered his alibis, which she believes could be attributed to his deteriorating memory due to his age.    However, regardless of these findings and suspicions, Rawson remains conflicted. She commented, “I'm still not 100% sure my dad did commit any more at this point,” but also emphasized the importance of discovering the truth, stating, “If my dad has harmed somebody else, we need answers.”    This case serves as a chilling reminder of the depths of human depravity and the relentless pursuit of justice. The sheriff's office remains committed to unearthing the truth, ensuring that the victims and their families receive the closure they desperately seek. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Morning: Psalms 116–118 Psalms 116–118 (Listen) I Love the Lord 116   I love the LORD, because he has heard    my voice and my pleas for mercy.2   Because he inclined his ear to me,    therefore I will call on him as long as I live.3   The snares of death encompassed me;    the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;    I suffered distress and anguish.4   Then I called on the name of the LORD:    “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!” 5   Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;    our God is merciful.6   The LORD preserves the simple;    when I was brought low, he saved me.7   Return, O my soul, to your rest;    for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 8   For you have delivered my soul from death,    my eyes from tears,    my feet from stumbling;9   I will walk before the LORD    in the land of the living. 10   I believed, even when1 I spoke:    “I am greatly afflicted”;11   I said in my alarm,    “All mankind are liars.” 12   What shall I render to the LORD    for all his benefits to me?13   I will lift up the cup of salvation    and call on the name of the LORD,14   I will pay my vows to the LORD    in the presence of all his people. 15   Precious in the sight of the LORD    is the death of his saints.16   O LORD, I am your servant;    I am your servant, the son of your maidservant.    You have loosed my bonds.17   I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving    and call on the name of the LORD.18   I will pay my vows to the LORD    in the presence of all his people,19   in the courts of the house of the LORD,    in your midst, O Jerusalem.  Praise the LORD! The Lord's Faithfulness Endures Forever 117   Praise the LORD, all nations!    Extol him, all peoples!2   For great is his steadfast love toward us,    and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.  Praise the LORD! His Steadfast Love Endures Forever 118   Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;    for his steadfast love endures forever! 2   Let Israel say,    “His steadfast love endures forever.”3   Let the house of Aaron say,    “His steadfast love endures forever.”4   Let those who fear the LORD say,    “His steadfast love endures forever.” 5   Out of my distress I called on the LORD;    the LORD answered me and set me free.6   The LORD is on my side; I will not fear.    What can man do to me?7   The LORD is on my side as my helper;    I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. 8   It is better to take refuge in the LORD    than to trust in man.9   It is better to take refuge in the LORD    than to trust in princes. 10   All nations surrounded me;    in the name of the LORD I cut them off!11   They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;    in the name of the LORD I cut them off!12   They surrounded me like bees;    they went out like a fire among thorns;    in the name of the LORD I cut them off!13   I was pushed hard,2 so that I was falling,    but the LORD helped me. 14   The LORD is my strength and my song;    he has become my salvation.15   Glad songs of salvation    are in the tents of the righteous:  “The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,16     the right hand of the LORD exalts,    the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!” 17   I shall not die, but I shall live,    and recount the deeds of the LORD.18   The LORD has disciplined me severely,    but he has not given me over to death. 19   Open to me the gates of righteousness,    that I may enter through them    and give thanks to the LORD.20   This is the gate of the LORD;    the righteous shall enter through it.21   I thank you that you have answered me    and have become my salvation.22   The stone that the builders rejected    has become the cornerstone.323   This is the LORD's doing;    it is marvelous in our eyes.24   This is the day that the LORD has made;    let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25   Save us, we pray, O LORD!    O LORD, we pray, give us success! 26   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!    We bless you from the house of the LORD.27   The LORD is God,    and he has made his light to shine upon us.  Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,    up to the horns of the altar! 28   You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;    you are my God; I will extol you.29   Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;    for his steadfast love endures forever! Footnotes [1] 116:10 Or believed, indeed; Septuagint believed, therefore [2] 118:13 Hebrew You (that is, the enemy) pushed me hard [3] 118:22 Hebrew the head of the corner (ESV) Evening: 1 Corinthians 2 1 Corinthians 2 (Listen) Proclaiming Christ Crucified 2 And I, when I came to you, brothers,1 did not come proclaiming to you the testimony2 of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men3 but in the power of God. Wisdom from the Spirit 6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,   “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,    nor the heart of man imagined,  what God has prepared for those who love him”— 10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.4 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Of David. 145   I will extol you, my God and King,    and bless your name forever and ever.2   Every day I will bless you    and praise your name forever and ever.3   Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,    and his greatness is unsearchable. 4   One generation shall commend your works to another,    and shall declare your mighty acts.5   On the glorious splendor of your majesty,    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.6   They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,    and I will declare your greatness.7   They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness. 8   The LORD is gracious and merciful,    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9   The LORD is good to all,    and his mercy is over all that he has made. 10   All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,    and all your saints shall bless you!11   They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom    and tell of your power,12   to make known to the children of man your2 mighty deeds,    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.13   Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.   [The LORD is faithful in all his words    and kind in all his works.]314   The LORD upholds all who are falling    and raises up all who are bowed down.15   The eyes of all look to you,    and you give them their food in due season.16   You open your hand;    you satisfy the desire of every living thing.17   The LORD is righteous in all his ways    and kind in all his works.18   The LORD is near to all who call on him,    to all who call on him in truth.19   He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;    he also hears their cry and saves them.20   The LORD preserves all who love him,    but all the wicked he will destroy. 21   My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,    and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. Footnotes [1] 145:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet [2] 145:12 Hebrew his; also next line [3] 145:13 These two lines are supplied by one Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint, Syriac (compare Dead Sea Scroll) (ESV) Old Testament: 2 Samuel 17:1–23 2 Samuel 17:1–23 (Listen) Hushai Saves David 17 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man,1 and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, “Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say.” 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, “Thus has Ahithophel spoken; shall we do as he says? If not, you speak.” 7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good.” 8 Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged,2 like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people. 9 Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall3 at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.' 10 Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men. 11 But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person. 12 So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left. 13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we shall drag it into the valley, until not even a pebble is to be found there.” 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had ordained4 to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring harm upon Absalom. 15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled. 16 Now therefore send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'” 17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city. 18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it. 19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, and nothing was known of it. 20 When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook5 of water.” And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 21 After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, “Arise, and go quickly over the water, for thus and so has Ahithophel counseled against you.” 22 Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed the Jordan. By daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Jordan. 23 When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went off home to his own city. He set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father. Footnotes [1] 17:3 Septuagint; Hebrew back to you.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”2 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit3 through faith.

As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” (ESV)

Dr. Katherine Ramsland, an esteemed figure in the field of forensic psychology and author of the autobiography on Dennis Rader, the infamous BTK Killer, recently joined host Tony Brueski on the popular podcast "Hidden Killers." Ramsland provided an unprecedented window into her years of correspondence with Rader, giving audiences a peek into the mind of one of the most notorious serial killers alive today.   Ramsland spent years corresponding with Rader, building a unique understanding of his motives and tactics. "He didn't get caught, so that... better, but he killed only three months later. It wasn't a very long time to pass... Nothing in the news suggested he had been seen, that they had a suspect," explained Ramsland. Her conversations with Rader gave her a deep understanding of his methods, his mindset, and the chilling indifference with which he approached his terrible deeds.   Ramsland offered an intriguing analysis of Rader's criminal modus operandi. After not getting caught in his early crimes, Rader appeared to grow more confident, targeting victims with a calculated attention to detail and pattern. This behavior resulted in his eventual moniker: BTK, standing for Bind, Torture, Kill.   Ramsland delved into a particular incident where Rader broke into a home with a young woman and her brother. Despite shooting the brother, Kevin, in the head, the victim was able to escape and become a witness to Rader's crime. Rader's adaptability and terrifying perseverance became apparent. "Now Raiders [Rader] realizing, oh my God, now we have a witness. And I have very little time, but still he stayed," recounted Ramsland.   She also shared Rader's modus operandi of 'cubing.' "On each side is an identity. So, Boy Scout, volunteer, good husband, serial killer, thief, good father, church president," Ramsland explained. "He could turn whatever side he needed, depending on the circumstances, and flip to another one if needed." This allowed Rader to live a seemingly normal life while leading a horrifying parallel existence.   Brueski asked Ramsland about any suspicions Rader's family might have had. Ramsland shared that Rader was at times afraid that his wife might be onto him, but she noted that it is not common for family members to suspect their loved ones of being serial killers. Rader's double life continued, largely unexamined by those closest to him.   When asked if Rader had conditioned his family to aid in his deception, Ramsland noted that it wasn't just family but friends and co-workers too who were manipulated by Rader's dual persona. She added that people living a double life, whether they're serial killers or merely unfaithful spouses, are "actively deceiving people on a regular basis."   The chilling conversation with Dr. Ramsland offered rare insights into the mind of a serial killer and the complexities surrounding their perceived normalcy. The five-part series promises to delve deeper into these chilling narratives, presenting listeners with a unique exploration of the darkest corners of human psychology.

Walk In Heavenly Places By Faith (3)   (audio) David Eells – 8/6/23  A Good Word  Debbie Fenske  7/25/23  (David's notes in red) Blessings to you, brethren. I am sharing this word I received from the Lord early this morning.  “My daughter, pen My heart upon this page. These words from My heart are for you, My people. My word to you now, is this. Stay pure. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Stay gentle in spirit. But you must be bold, and strong against your adversary, Satan, the devil, casting down his assault weapons of condemnation, doubt, and fear.   Know that your angels are there, and they fight for you. But you must use your armor against this wicked foe. Remain on guard, and stand against the distractions of the enemy, the world, and your flesh. For they are all one against you. They are all one enemy of your souls. They are one enemy against your brothers and your sisters. They are against you, because they are against Me who is in you. Yes, Your Greater One Is in you.   This is why you already know, and already confess the victory over each plan of the enemy. But some among you are weaker in their confession of what, and who they are in Me. (We are by faith Sons of the Living God given His authority to rule over the flash, the devil, and the world. The Strong man is bound and we are to plunder.) I hear their cries unto Me, their desire to be strong in their faith, and strong in the fight. As they are growing in the faith, hold your weapons high over them, for you are one with them. Every member must be protected, keeping their eyes on Me. (I.e. Protect with our faith those who are weak.) I Am the one that allows your enemy to breakthrough past the angels so that you learn to fight, and resist, becoming stronger in confessing My Word in the spirit of great boldness and authority against the enemy, for yourselves, and for your brethren who are weaker.  (Give no place to the enemy in our speech or actions.) But I tell you this, they will not remain weak. They will grow in strength. And, I will, in this day, cause them to grow quickly, understanding how to handle their weapons of warfare against the enemy. So, in faith, you must see each battle won in victorious conquest.  Rise up! And be victorious over the war for your souls. Shout My name! Shout My name which is your banner. Stand, and be encouraged in what I tell you right now, that not one among you will be left lying on the battlefield. Fight for My great name, for yourselves, and for one another. I Am always your Sword, and I will always be your Strong Tower. Victory is yours through My great Name, for I Am your Great Reward. Keep awake, discerning, fighting. And through Me you will always attain the Victory. Rejoice that each battle has already been won!”      Keep The Cross Close To Your Heart  Marie Kelton 7/28/23 (David's notes in red)  I had an open vision during the meeting where the Lord was sitting next to me, and He had a necklace with a cross on it. (The crucified walk.)(And our enemies were conquered at the cross) The Lord then put the necklace on me. The necklace was long enough to lie on top of my heart. The Lord spoke to me and said, "Keep this close to your heart".  Luk 9:23 And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Our cross is obedience to the Word in the midst of trials.) Pro 4:20-21 My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.   Pro 6:20-21 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.    Newer Heights of Praise and Worship  Debbie Fenske - 10/14/22  This morning on our Zoom scripture and prayer meeting, ...Father started speaking this Word to me:   "I am lifting you up into newer heights of praise and worship that even astounds the angels in heaven. This is the time where I am bringing My true people throughout the earth into newer heights of worship and praise of Me. This is one way My glory is going to fill the earth. For as My people worship and praise Me in the fullness of spirit and truth, the power of My Holy Spirit will fill you, and My glory will fill you, and will flow forth from you, even now, to restore and revive many of my own. So, My people, let My glory, and My power flow!” Amen! Thank you Father!      Testimony Experience  Anonymous 5/29/23 (David's notes in red)  I experienced myself being up so very high and seated in the heavenlies in spiritual light. I saw many devils located way down beneath me. They were so very far down in darkness which seemed to have no end. I heard devils trying to call out to me, but I could barely hear what they were saying, because they were so far away. It sounded like they were saying things similar to the thoughts they try to give me. But for me to hear clearly what they were saying, I would have to leave my place up so high and go down lower. (If go low to hear the enemy we are in their territory of power.) I saw how they are way below me and while I'm in Christ (in the Heavens) I have authority over them, and they literally have to obey me; they are literally under me. The enemy tried to give me fear of the unknown, which is just not trusting God. While I was experiencing all this, I knew that if I agreed with the fear of the unknown, I would be taken out of this place. But by trusting God I could stay in this high place in the Heavens. I had to not agree with the familiar thoughts and feelings of fear of the unknown. If I entertained it, I would be taken lower.   It seemed as though the devils were so far down that they couldn't see me properly, but they knew I was there and they would shoot arrows of thoughts and feelings to try and get me to look at them. (Don't pay attention to their thoughts.)  Sometimes the arrows would get me, and I would either choose to listen and agree with it or choose to ignore it. But most of the time they would shoot randomly and miss me because I was so high up and not fully in view. If I commanded the devils to be quiet, they had to obey straight away.  I saw that the flesh and enemy are always trying to take us out of this high place in the Heavens, by using thoughts, feelings, self-will, fear, and doubt, wanting to control us. We need to remember and know each moment God is in control and allow Him do what He wants, within us and outside of us. Only when we are in Him fully and completely aligned with His Word, will and Spirit do we have this full authority over the enemy. Submit to God and the devil must flee.  Eph 2:4-6 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:  Luk 10:17-20 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. 20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.  Eph 6:16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.  Col 3:1-3 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  1Pe 5:8-9 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.   Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.      Word Of God A Flame Of Fire  Marie Kelton 7/28/23 (David's notes in red)  During the meeting, I was dealing with anxiety. I told the Lord about the anxiety. I then had an open vision. The Lord was sitting next to me. I saw in the palm of the Lord's hand was a bible and the bible was on fire. I looked up at the Lord and His eyes were a flame of fire. The Lord opened the bible and the scriptures in the bible were on fire also. Then, the Lord said, “The scriptures burn up the wood, hay, and stubble.” (Rom_12:2  And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (with the Word who is Jesus), that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.) (Dealing with anxiety and other fleshy emotions, are the trials and temptations we go through in order to overcome them by applying faith in the promises of the Word of God. Php 4:6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. We give thanks to God with our requests, because He has already delivered us from these temptations.)  1Co 3:11-13 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; (The thoughts, ideas, and works of the old life, which many never reject.) 13 each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. (The fiery trial will conquer the wood, hay, and stubble if we repent and believe the Word.) Then I heard or thought, “The Word of the Lord is a flame of fire.”  I asked the Lord what was the fire that covered the bible. The Lord said, "It is the fire of the Holy Spirit."  Mat 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.      Entering Into The Rest  Winnie Osegueda 8/30/21 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed I got dressed to go outside in my favorite comfortable gray dress.  (Gray in this case represents death to self. We need to be comfortable in the death of the old man.) It was a beautiful and bright sunny day outside and I heard David pull up in the blue truck that him and Michael drive in often. David was wearing a denim jacket with patchwork of different colors, (Like Joseph's coat of many colors representing the different attributed of the light of the Lord. This represents putting on by faith these works.) and he came to talk to and give something to Chuc. (Chuck means to throw away or discard. In our trials we give up the old man and his ways and we put on the new man of Christ and His ways.) Angelica and Marie were also outside, and Angelica had a little boy with her, maybe about 8 or 9 years of age. (Representing her personal Man-child of “Christ in you the hope of glory”.) We had a couple of swings in our front yard for Zoe´ to swing on. Zoe´ brought out a comfortable teal chair that I keep in the bedroom of our house, and she hooked it onto the middle of her other swings, so that I could swing as well. (Zoe represents God's Life who will give the rest of the chair. The chair represents being seated in heavenly places with Him.)  Marie and Angelica wanted to try and swing on the teal swing chair, but the weight limit was below our weights, so I said that we couldn't do that. I told them that I was able to get on it before, but now I needed to get some weight off. (Too much weight or flesh will not allow us to be seated in heavenly places and you cannot enjoy or enter into the rest of faith.)  In another scene, I was in a car and Chuc was driving. I was turned around and I was observing from the back window and saw a man driving a red pick-up truck directly behind us, but also on our right. (This represents looking behind to see that the gifts were already given to us at the Cross. The man in the truck could represent Jesus. Red is for blood.)  The man in the truck threw some butterflies into the air as gifts, but I wasn't certain that they were real. Some of the butterflies were hanging on a string, three in a row. (The gifts of butterflies represent freedom and the new Life we have in Christ. Winnie, not knowing if the butterflies were real, is walking by sight and the perception of spiritual things are not clear. If we are seeing in the natural, the promises don't seem real to us. The three butterflies hanging on a string, could represent spirit, soul and body salvation.)  Some of the butterflies landed high up in a tree and I was sad because I thought I couldn't reach it, but then I saw a little girl reach them. (We believe we can't reach them, but we need child-like faith.)  I then remembered Angelica had put some butterflies away for me inside a blender cup I have that I use to make fruit smoothies. (The Angels preserve our Butterflies representing our born again fruit.) It was hanging right over my teal chair swing in my front yard. I thought I couldn't reach it, but I was able to. (Because that chair speaks of resting in the heavenly places by faith.) I opened the cup and there were different kinds of yellow and black butterflies that reminded me of Swallowtails. Some of the butterflies were yellow with stripes, some had few stripes, and some had no stripes at all. (The Lord is using a play on words here. Angelica put the butterflies in Winnie's cup because in essence we have to ‘swallow' the promises by drinking the water of the Word. Swallowtails represent the grace and free nature of the soul. Through Jesus, God gave us freely the grace to be set free and fly. They are reachable when we reach out by faith to take them.)  I asked the Lord for a verse for this dream and received, Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths. (Don't only believe when we see, but by faith in what God has said.)      Cleansed His Way  Samuel Fire 5/9/23 (David's notes in red) I heard in prayer: “So much now is being overcome by the breaking of all strongholds and learning to hold the new life and ground. The false feelings you have, are the reactions and attacks in the spiritual through witchcraft. Everything you feel is bodily. The flesh feels, but the Spirit is fire.” (I was reminded of the wood hay and stubble how it burns in the fire, and then shown that the trees and plants would scream if they had feelings. Then when you do physical exercise or have attacks etc., this is the same in relation, but never lasts longer than God's love. His love lasts forever. Then I was reminded that God wants us to have the purest, finest gold and the perfect place for eternity with Him. He wants us, not the stuff that has been wrapped around us like a candy bar wrapper.)  “Remember the good and refrain from the ways of the bad. What may be good once, can be bad later.” (I saw an apple was fresh and ripe, when left alone would eventually rot.)  “The focus on Me was to teach many. As soon as self is led, corruption caused wickedness to remain. Remember to do good and set fire to evil.” (I was reminded how even Lot's wife's name is not mentioned. Nor was Job's wife named. Our attention is to the righteous. We are to give Glory and Praise in the Lord for what He said is good.)  (I then saw myself entering an area which is covered in darkness and evil. It would try to stick to me and attack me. I saw myself using a clean sponge to wipe a wall, and the area was cleaner, but the sponge now needed cleaning.) (Then you can throw it in the fire.) “Return to Me. Have the flame never go out. It has spread and will burn. Your duties are simply to pray and praise. I will show you more.” (I felt this may be for just myself as everyone has different roles in the Body of Christ. I also felt the Word is to be spoken, because that always pleases God. (And brings the Word to pass.)  I saw a buffing pad polishing something metallic that was already very beautiful. The shine afterwards was so intense that looked like it was glowing.)  (Getting rid of the last impurities so the shine comes through.) “Always be speaking the truth. (The Word) Keep reading and declaring promises.” (His promises cannot be negated.)  “To remove the hardest and worst hurts from the past, takes the longest time. Persevere. (Shine) When you restrict the body, I Am closer. Break and remove the strongholds. Declare the victory. Rely on the promises in My Son. See the end. Imagine and picture (and speak) the victory.” (I saw singing Holy Angels and worship with the words ‘Holy, Holy, Holy'.)      A Holy Vessel  Anonymous 1/3/23 (David's notes in red)  I heard in prayer: “No matter where you are, there is a deep darkness. (There is always darkness trying to overwhelm and take over. Consume the light of the Word and shine.) Isa 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. NENT Col 1:12-13 giving thanks to the Father, who fitted you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;   Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.   You are to be in the fight. (Be in constant prayer and warfare.) NENT 1Th 5:16-18 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks: for this is God's will in Christ Jesus toward you.   Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spirituals of the wickedness in the heavenlies.   2Co 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of flesh, but mighty before God unto casting down of strongholds.  1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.   Be at peace in Me and where you are. (Trusting in the Lord always.) Pro 3:5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:  Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.  Make the place at that moment a Heaven. (Turn all situations into peace and joy.) Neh 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.   NENT Rom 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in power of the Holy Spirit.   This is a warning to not fall into the deep end. (Not to let the enemy steal anything.) NENT Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but to steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have abundance.   I Am all and you are My Temple. In all places, time and situation; put Me and the Holy Spirit first. NENT Mat 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.  This is to alert you not to be concerned about anything. Just pray and praise Me.”  “The power you use in speech and talk is Me. Use it wisely. I am not to be flipped around like a pancake for your own gain. What do you do for Me?” (Be mindful of the thoughts and words spoken, and be according to the Word.) NENT 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.   “Can you await My Instructions and Provision?” (Be patient in your faith) NENT Luk 21:19 In your patience ye shall win your souls.  Jas 1:3  knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.  4  And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.  Heb 6:11-12 And we desire that each of you show the same diligence unto the fulness of the hope even to the end: 12 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.   “The Lord is coming and all His blessings already sent. Like a train to arrive at the station. Stay standing in expectation with your ticket ready. The earnest are to be rewarded. Knowing I will deliver on time. Are you worthy to receive? Be constantly checking the validation of the ticket each and every day, die to self and replace all with My Word as Christ.” (Doing all you are required to receive and looking to the answers and provision in expectation.) NENT Rom 8:9 But YE are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that God's Spirit dwelleth in you. But if any hath not Christ's Spirit he is none of his.  Php 1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be shamed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.   Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation awaiteth the revelation of the sons of God.   “Do you keep the desire of Me in your heart? Have every ache and pain in the need of Me.” (Priorities and humility) NENT 1Co 14:1 Follow after love; yet desire earnestly the spirituals, but rather that ye prophesy.   1Ti 2:4 who willeth all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of truth.   “Never forget you are deeply loved in any situation or trial. Just keep to the foundation and character of My Son. You all will need to sincerely hate all evil or it will be brutal to remove from you.” (Separate from all things opposing the Lord, no matter the attachment or level of pain.) NENT Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.      Draw Deeper Into God  Samuel Fire 4/13/23  I was seeking the Lord regarding why it hurts when we seek Him more than we have before and why do we feel a type of fear when going deeper and deeper into God's presence.  I heard: “Because nothing can completely handle My presence. They all have to be recreated as My Son or that aspect must fall before Me. I am making a wonderful work in you all, and these are great times for you. To share and hold onto each other, and to rely completely on Me and My Promise. Keep your focus and love. Do not let go of your deepest desire.   There is some hurt and old self that cannot be in My Holiness and Kingdom. (I felt something like the deeper we go, the harder it is to get closer. Then I saw a person trying to swim underwater but had to breathe out because of the air held in them would cause them to float up. But in order to stay submerged and go to the deepest depths with God, one would need to be completely dead to self and only have Jesus in control and Lord of their life.)  Be the loving example of My Word. Press into the perfect place of Me. Keep on focusing on Me. Read and pray. Be helpful to each other in assistance. Help each other on the words spoken and agreement.   No one is doing worse off than the price paid by My Son. Do not compare. Do not rejoice on the enemy's defeat, but be concerned over the walk you and others are doing.   Draw deeper into Me and want to do with Me all the great things I have set for you.  Learn to have no ability to do anything by self. That everything is already done in Christ. I have said and it is now just a time to be deeper in the revelation of My Love for you. (I felt that we just need to let go. Stop. And believe. So hard to do, but just think and speak it. Especially in the trials.)  Do not worry. Everything is done. You have not have to worry about it at all. (I felt that we need to praise God, to speak out what is His love to us and to receive it as though we already have it.)  The enemy is always attacking and lying to you every moment. The world is always trying to distract you and trying to get in the way of you and Me. The enemy and flesh try to use your hurt and old memories to separate us. But you need to give all these to Me, and when you read and apply My Word in Truth and Love, I Am accepted and connected to you. When it is difficult, give to Me attention and prayer. Praise Me for I am the final answer and solution.”      Buy Wisdom  Vanessa Weeks 1/15/23 (David's notes in red)  In a dream I was in a small store or house that had many knickknacks. These were on tables and organized together in different parts of the room.   There was also a large and sturdy old book that had many drawings depicting the stories told in the book. It was a special book with gold on the four corners of the cover. (Word of God?) I was looking at this book and then I saw a couple of children sitting on the floor looking at it.  I saw a white crocheted owl. (An owl to me means wisdom.) Pro 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.  I took the owl with my right hand and put it in a blue picture frame. (Picture of wisdom Pro 23:23 Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.) (Barry: I think this would involve praying for it in faith, searching God's word for it, but also humility and a willingness to live by it.) I gave this owl in the blue picture frame to a young lady who was to my right, (where Jesus put the sheep) who was wearing a red shirt. (She is washed in the blood of Christ. After I woke up I thought that this lady was Gabby.) I gave it to her for her birthday. (Gabby means God is my strength.)  Then after I got home, I began to feel guilty because I realized that I had taken the owl without asking or paying for it. I was repenting and asking the Lord to forgive me. But I did not know how to make it right because I gave the owl to Gabby and did not think I could take it back to return it to the owner. Then I woke up.   After I woke up, I realized this owl is the same as Zoe's crocheted owl in real life. Owls to me represent wisdom so I believe it represents wisdom of the life of God.  I received by faith at random for this dream Dan 5:16. In context v. 13-16. Dan 5:13-16 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? 14  I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee. 15 And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing. 16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.  Also, I asked the Lord about the feeling of guilt I had in the dream and received by faith at random Pro 28:15. In context vs. 13-15. Pro 28:13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. 14 Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear, So is a wicked ruler over a poor people.  I believe the Lord is saying to me by this verse and dream to pay the price for wisdom. And He has given me grace to confess and forsake my sin. Job 28:12-13 But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? 13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living. And verse 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.  Father, thank you for showing us the price of wisdom. Please give us grace to fear you and depart from evil and in faith receive your wisdom in Jesus name, amen.      Taking From The Enemies Camp   Tianna Fire 6/10/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was living with a community of Brethren, but we didn't live in a specific spot, but we traveled around all the time and everything we had was physically light and God provided all our needs. (Be not attached to worldly physical things but anchored in the Lord.)  At this point the Lord had led us all to travel to a different town, and to get there we had to walk along a beach side for a few days. We slept under the stars and God provided food without us doing anything, but walking where He wanted. (Rest in Him, no matter the situation, He is our covering.)  After a few days we got to this place that was on the left side of the beach in a forest. It was evening and the sun was almost completely down but the town had so many different colored lights and different loud sounds coming from it. (It kind of reminded me of "vanity fair" from Pilgrims Progress.) At this place there were some theme park rides and many different buildings with different activities. The sounds were so loud and there was festival music and much laughter and it was extremely worldly. (The Lord has called us out of the world to be separate from it and not get distracted by the lust of the fleshly things in the world.)  Before we went in, we prayed and God told us that there would be many Satanists in there, but there were things in there that were stolen from us and we were to walk into the areas God said, to grab what belonged to us, and then we could all leave. We all had a different task and a different area to go inside. We all went in pairs, and I was with a sister. NENT Luk 10:1-3 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come. 2 And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers few: pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest. 3 Go. Lo, I send you forth as lambs amidst wolves.   Luk 10:19 Lo, I have given you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.   As we walked inside the festival there were many people all around and there were many famous actors, witches, musicians and other known people in the world. There were also a lot of people I had never seen before in real life. The Lord had revealed to me that witches and others that illegally access the spiritual realm can see Jesus in me and they know who I am when in public, so we stick out like a sore thumb. Also the demons in others are aware of Jesus in us and I can see that they recognize Christ in me.   So, in the dream I asked God to not allow any of the witches or demons to be able to see that Jesus is in us, so that we don't stick out, but for us to be hidden and not noticeable to the demons and witches. And praise God He did exactly that! He either made us invisible to everyone or He made us just look like normal people, but the enemy couldn't see us. (He can do the supernatural and keep us hidden in the natural. Mar 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.  Psa 32:7 Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.)  So we were all able to easily go to the area to get what we needed without being noticed. Two brothers went into a maze area that was filled with all different types of mirrors, and what was theirs was in the center of the maze. (To see themselves as Jesus – beyond the natural, and the reward is at the end.) 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.   Another couple had to go to the music area. (Music when sung or listened to, can lift our spirits.)  Another went to a party area where everyone was drinking and dancing and others had to go on a rollercoaster and the spinning swings ride. (This represents idolatry to the world where we are tempted by the world, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh.) (Temptations come in the 5 senses [5 Kings Joshua ref?].)   1Co 10:6-7 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (Many will be tempted to do this in these days. They will cease to be stewards and instead claim ownership of what is God's.) 1Jn 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.  The sister and I went into an escape room that was connected to a playground. (An escape room is where someone is locked into it, to play a game requiring them to solve a series of puzzles within a certain amount of time to accomplish a goal, typically finding a key to leave the room. They will have to race against the clock and decipher clues to find their way out of the room.)  There was a line up to go through this with many people behind us and in front of us. Only one person could go into an escape room at a time and we had to wait in the playground area for our turn. Once the person was done with the first escape room they would go into another line up for the next escape room, and there were 10 escape rooms. (The number 10 symbolizes perfect and completeness. It is also symbolic of the 10 commandments (the Law) given to Moses.) It was made known that the majority of people that go in will not get through many rooms, so they quit and leave, but those that did get further into the escape rooms mostly died. (We must lose our life in the world to have the life of Christ. We continue in the faith and press on to the high calling of God in Christ, and each of us must manifest our own death to self. Not everyone is able to continue, many give up and go back to the world.)  Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few chosen. Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.  Mat 16:24-25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.  When it was finally our turn, I went in first and the sister went in behind me. There were many people in front of me that couldn't get out of the escape room so they would get dragged out by whoever was running this place. By God's grace and His help, he got me through the first 5 escape rooms. (Five is the number of grace.) When I was in the fifth escape room, God told me that by witchcraft they had been putting a plastic bag into my mouth for each room I went into, without me knowing and their goal was to choke out everyone before they could get to the tenth room. (So they could not partake of the breath of the Spirit)  The item we wanted was in the tenth room, but they didn't want anyone to get there, so they would kill off or take out everyone they could before they got there.  (This could mean restricting the move of the Holy Spirit, stopping their ability to breathe or spiritual discernment. They use witchcraft to suffocate, or “choke” people. A spiritual death to take us out so we don't receive all the Lord has for us and reach completion, and in this dream, taking back what they came for.) Mar 4:19 and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (Some of the women captured by the satanists will overcome and escape when the principality in the leaders die and their power over them is broken. Some may not be chosen and would not escape.) I went to a mirror that was in the room and I opened my mouth and there were 5 plastic bags in the colors of grey and blue. (A person begins to turn blue or grey when they are suffocating and there is not enough oxygen in the blood. Blue and grey represents death by suffocation.) I took them all out and everything was well. The Lord showed me how to get out of this escape room and then I went into the waiting hallway to get into the sixth escape room. There was no one else there, but I wanted to wait there so I could tell the sister behind me about the plastic bags. The walls in this area were lime green. (Lime green could represent “freshness or being refreshed in the Spirit” after being saved from a death assignment.)  The sister came out and I told her about the plastic bags and she pulled them out of her mouth too and we continued on to the next escape rooms. After each room we would take the plastic bag out of our mouth and it was supernatural how it even got into our mouth. (We share with our brethren the revelations given us from the Lord so they can learn and also be free from the traps of the enemy and continue going forward in Christ.)  I was able to get to the last escape room, and I know it was only through God's grace as He gave me the wisdom, understanding and knowledge to get through each escape room.  (Any could contact us for this wisdom and knowledge. When they die out to the principality over their personal stupid demons they will lose power and their conscience and knowledge will return and they will escape.) When I got to the tenth escape room, I was able to get the item that belonged to us and leave unnoticed just as we prayed. The evil people had cameras set up everywhere so, naturally, they would have seen and known I was in there and had obtained the item. Normally demons see Who Jesus is in in the spiritual realm, but the other brethren and I were completely hidden physically and spiritually. (Pray for the escapees to be hidden in Christ.) The sister I was with was waiting outside as she had quit a few rooms ago because she had listened to fear, but she repented and got out. We then left to go back to the beach to meet with the other brethren.   On the way out, a brother who had started with us was socializing with some people at the party and it was then made known to us that he had taken interest in the worldly pleasures and people. (The lure of lust in the satanist camp captures many.)  This brother then became visible to them and to the enemy, so the enemy captured him. We just prayed and left and were later reunited with the brethren that stayed in agreement with the Word and hidden in Christ.   We learned that there were a few others that got stuck in this town in the party with these evil people. We knew there wasn't anything we could do but pray for them. Because if we went back to speak to them, we would become visible to them and to the enemy, but we wanted to stay hidden in Christ. (Pray for our brethren who have been taken captive to the deceitfulness of this world. Keep in faith. Allow the Lord to do His amazing work of grace!) NENT Col 4:12 Epaphras who is one of you, bondman of Christ Jesus, greets you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all of God's will.   Jas 5:15-16 and the prayer of faith shall save the weary one, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.   Heb 7:25 Whence also he is able to save to the uttermost them that approach God through him, he ever living to make intercession for them.  All of us that got out of the place, were able to get all the items back that belonged to us and we continued walking along the beach to go to the next place God wanted us to go to.      Believe And Confess The Word  David Eells  Many want sanctification or healing or deliverance or provision, etc. And the demons are constantly trying to talk you out of these things and more using as ammunition, your many problems, mistakes, failures, etc. But Jesus gave His gifts unto many imperfect people who were their own worst enemies.   He even gave these things to people who were willfully disobedient to confirm His Word; however, they did not, in some way, escape the judgment for this kind of sin for that is the Word too. Joh 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.  We received this text by faith at random. Heb 6:11-19 And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end: 12 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 For when God made promise to Abraham (Who was in the flesh and trying to save himself.), since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself, 14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15 And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. (This could be true of any and all promises to you.) 16 For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. 17 Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability (This word means unchangeableness) of his counsel, interposed with an oath; 18 that by two immutable (or unchangeable) things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, (The two unchangeable things He cannot lie about is any promise He made to you and on top of that His oath promise.) we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us: (He did this to show you He will not break His promises so you can be encouraged to believe them. The demons will try to give you many reasons to not believe they are for you.)  19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil. (This anchor of your souls is so you won't be thrown about by every lie of the demons. God will keep His Word to you.)  Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, (yea) and for ever. (He is unchangeable concerning His promises. Religions all have a changeable God who cannot be trusted. I.e. He made an eternal covenant, but you can't be sure He will heal the sick or save from sin, demons, or lack anymore so you can't have faith. What else would the devil have you believe? Come out from among them!)  Psa 119:86-93 All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87 They had almost consumed me upon earth (God's people are being devoured by the curse and the demons love it but here is the cure.); But I forsook not thy precepts. 88 Quicken (This word means “make alive”) me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth. 89 LAMEDH. For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven. (Father says its unchangeable so you can believe it today.) 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: (I.e. we have the same promises that were given back then.) Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.   91 They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants. (Notice: Everything serves God so nothing can stop Him from answering your faith and prayers.)92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction. (Pro 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.)  93 I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me (I.e. made me alive). … 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way. (So “By whose stripes ye were healed” and “He made you free from sin” and He “delivered you out of the power of darkness” and He “gave you authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.”)  Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. …50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.  1Ki 8:56 Blessed be Jehovah, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant. And we “have a better covenant based on better promises”. Psa 89:34 My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. (Since we are dependent on the promises for the abundant life, those who change them are under the curse even as they bring others under the curse. Rev 22:18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.)  Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (God's promises and commands are more important to us than even His name.)  Rom 3:3 For what if some were without faith? (Man may break the covenant but God doesn't.) shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? (God will be faithful to all who repent and believe and sometimes they don't even know they need to repent of something.) 4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. (We must agree with the Word so we may be accounted as righteous so we can have God's benefits and overcome when in tribulation.)      Promises are Conditional   Mat 10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess (Homo Logeo means to “speak the same as” meaning agree with the Word. Are you healed? Say it! Are you saved from sin? Say it! Are you free of demons? Say it! Are you provided for? Say it! Many will come to try to get you to agree with what you see with your eyes rather than what you see in the book.) who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. (If we walk and talk by sight to please men we will miss His benefits.)  Luk 12:8 And I say unto you, Everyone who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. (Angels will take their que from your words and actions of faith and it is they who minister God's salvation to you.)  Heb 4:14 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Heb 10:23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:   2Co 1:18-20 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay. (God is not fickle as the religions say; He stands behind His Word.) 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea. (He is not yes and no about His promises; He is YES!) 20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen (meaning when we agree), unto the glory of God through us.  Mat 8:1-10 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. (Jesus is willing to heal and deliver.) And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.   5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; (God gives grace to the humble but He resists the proud.) but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. (He knew more than God's people, that Jesus' Word was supreme authority over the curse.) 10 And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.  Mar 5:22-42 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, 23 and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. (He had faith in Jesus to make her live.) 24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.   25 And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. (She spoke to the mountain and did not doubt so she got what she said as Mark said. Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.)  Back to our text: Mar 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague. 30 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments? (Notice it was not a matter of whether God willed this healing or not for Jesus didn't even know it until it happened. It was a matter of faith and confession as we are told.) 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.   35 While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further? 36 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. (I.e. Do not pay attention to what man or devil says. It's never too late Jesus still resurrects the dead. I am a witness.) 37 And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.   39 And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. (A spoken Word of faith.) 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was. 41 And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise. (Another spoken Word of faith.) 42 And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.  Mat 15:22-31 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. 23 But he answered her not a word. (Testing her faith with silence.) And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. (They mistook His silence as an unwillingness to deliver.) 24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Another test that she was not qualified. Many hear this. Faith is the qualification. Some have more than God's people.)   25 But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. (Again the test of You are not qualified but like Naaman the Syrian all that is needed is actions of faith to be a believer.) 27 But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. (Humility brings grace, pride brings disgrace.) 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.   29 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. 30 And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them: 31 insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.   (In any “great multitude” even of God's people, there are sinners of every kind but this was not the problem. It was their faith to bring the sick to Jesus because they heard and saw that He healed and delivered. More blessed are they who do not see and yet believe. And they glorified God to everyone and themselves. They were never the same.)  Mat 4:24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.   Mat 12:15 And Jesus perceiving it withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all.  Luk 6:17-19 and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. 19 And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all. (We shall see this again for Jesus is coming as the Latter Rain in Hos 6:1-3.)  Luk 4:40 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.  God can change a prophecy, word of knowledge or wisdom, dream or vision, which can all be warnings, which are changed if we repent. They can be promises which we must believe to receive. Many do not believe to the end to receive and so their promise was not fulfilled. These things are changeable, but the Word is not. Jer 23:28-29 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my (prophetic) word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith Jehovah. 29 Is not my Word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? The straw supports the wheat but its value is nothing like the wheat.  A dream or prophecy can be changeable but not the Word.  Isa 53:1-12 Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief (Hebrew: sickness): and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.  Who was He despised by, the factious. Who was Job or David despised by, the factious. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs (Hebrew: sicknesses), and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.   8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? (Who was due the stroke, the judas' the factious, the back stabbers, the lusters, etc.) 9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.   10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief (Hebrew: Made Him sick): when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. (Notice: He prolonged His Days in His seed doing His same works.) 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
