It's Monday, December 15th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus World's 5 Communist countries are cracking down on Christians Governments in the world's five remaining Communist countries are intensifying control over Christian churches, reports International Christian Concern. Churches are facing growing legal, financial and operational restrictions under regimes in China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam. Authorities in China require churches to register with the state and operate under a system called Sinicization, which mandates that sermons and practices incorporate Chinese cultural elements and Communist Party ideology, In Cuba, Christian groups are also legally required to register with the government, though new registrations are seldom granted. Individuals receiving foreign funding for church-related activities may be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison under Cuban law. Christian groups in Laos must also register with the government and seek prior approval for nearly all activities. A 2023 U.S. State Department report said churches must obtain permission for services, gatherings, travel of clergy, construction of worship spaces, and distribution of religious materials. In North Korea, churches are allowed only as tightly regulated institutions that serve the regime's image abroad. North Korean citizens are expected to report anyone found engaging in religious practices outside these state-run settings or in possession of Christian materials like Bibles. Unauthorized religious activity is met with harsh penalties, including imprisonment or forced labor. Vietnam also enforces mandatory registration for Christians and reserves the right to intervene in church finances and operations. A 2024 Vietnamese law, known as Decree 95, grants the government authority to demand financial records from churches and to suspend their activities without citing specific violations. Authorities in Vietnam have detained individuals and restricted congregations that fail to comply. Galatians 6:9 promises, “ Let us not grow weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not faint.” The $1 billion fraud of the Somalis in Minnesota Federal investigators have uncovered and charged dozens of people in Minnesota — most of Somali, African descent — in a series of major public-benefits fraud schemes which cost the American taxpayers $1 billion, reports Fox. These schemes include two primary issues.  First, a nonprofit named Feeding Our Future claimed federal reimbursements for feeding children during the pandemic but is accused of taking hundreds of millions in funds for few or no meals. And second, there was Medicaid fraud in autism care and housing support. Prosecutors say large and rapidly growing payments to providers for autism therapy and Housing Stabilization Services were fraudulent, with fake clients and claims submitted. Appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, said this. MILLER: “This could very well end up being the greatest financial fraud scandal in American history.” Republican Mike Lindell running for Minnesota Governor Speaking of Minnesota, where Democratic Governor Tim Walz, has embarrassed his state nationally as the brief-lived Vice Presidential pick of Kamala Harris, MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell announced his candidacy for Minnesota's 2026 gubernatorial race last Thursday, reports The Christian Post. The 64-year-old Lindell posted on social media. "After prayerful consideration and hearing from so many of you across our great state, I've made the decision to enter the 2026 gubernatorial race.” LINDELL: “Together, we will restore respect for law and order. If you are here illegally, now's the time to leave, or you're going to be sent back where you came from.” Governor Walz is running for his third consecutive four-year term. 2 dead, 8 injured in shooting at Brown University On Saturday evening, an active shooter killed two people and seriously injured eight others at Brown University campus where a male, dressed in black, opened fire inside a building on campus, reports the Providence Journal.  The Ivy League college in Providence, Rhode Island was in lockdown as the suspected gunman remained at large following the shooting. Dick Van Dyke: “I have no idea” what happens when we die In an interview with ABC's Nightline with Dick Van Dyke, who just turned 100, Chris Connelly asked about loss and death. CONNELLY: “How have you dealt with loss in your life, when you lose somebody close to you? How have you rebounded from something like that?” VAN DYKE: “I don't know. You know, I lost my brother and my eldest daughter. Both committed suicide because of pain, and my reaction was anger, because I just think there were two deaths that didn't have to happen because they were, other than that, very healthy, except for pain.” CONNELLY:  “Have you ever thought about death?” VAN DYKE:  “I do now. I think most people don't, but when you get up around 100, it's a fact that you have to face. You know, it could happen any day.” CONNELLY: “What do you think happens when we die?” VAN DYKE:  “I have no idea. I think some people are afraid of death because they think you're aware of it. They can say, ‘Oh, darn, I'm dead.' But, you know, you're gone; you don't exist anymore. No, death doesn't really frighten me, although I like a lot more life.” Hebrews 9:27 says, “People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” Gift of tiny home reunites veteran with his 2-year-old daughter And finally, when his 2-year-old daughter Majesty fell into the foster care system, a U.S. Navy veteran faced a significant barrier in his fight to assert custody: He did not have a permanent address, reports Good News Network. At that point, Tim had gotten his life back on track after a struggle with substance use, but his group living arrangement in that program wasn't designed for children. He said, “I just remember thinking: ‘How can I rescue my daughter?'” Providentially, a tiny blue home became available at Veterans Community Project, a nonprofit village that help residents regain parental rights of their children. Soon after, he got full custody and moved to a family unit complete with a bunk bed fit for a toddler. The key moment in Tim's transformation was the rediscovery of his Christian faith and his willingness to admit he needed help. He said, “The opposite of addiction is connection—and that's what I found.” At the rehab center, he remembers feeling “like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.” SCROOGE AFTER WAKING FROM DREAM ON CHRISTMAS DAY: “I must dress myself. So much to do.  I must not lose any time. I am as light as a feather. (laughs) I'm as happy as an angel. (laughs) I am as a merry as a schoolboy. (laughs) I'm as giddy as a drunken man. (laughs)  Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, December 15th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Canons of Dort Chapt.1, Art. 8-11

A New Decree – This story is crafted from Ester 8 where After Haman was hung the king promoted Mordecai to be his new right-hand man. Now with Mordecai at her side, Queen Ester begged the king to reverse his decreed to annihilate the Jews, but as he had said before, once a decree is put forth it can not be revoked. So now what?

Can Christians decree and declare blessings? On this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard responds to a question from a listener in Australia about the practice of “decreeing and declaring,” the belief that Christians can speak health, wealth, or other blessings into existence through the creative power of their words.Dr. Bernard explores whether Scripture supports the idea that believers can “decree and declare” realities into being, offering a clear and biblically grounded perspective on faith, prayer, and God's sovereignty.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

In this one, Colin Everet and Andrew Hunter Scoley discuss the Bob Clark-directed Holmes/Ripper mystery, "Murder By Decree" (1979). They discuss the great performances including a stunning brief turn from Geneviève Bujold, what sets this one apart from oner Sherlock Holmes adaptions, and Hunter does his best to explain the ending! This one has been on the list to do for a while and is quite the treat of a film.

3.  How is it possible for God to decree that men should commit certain sins, hold them responsible in the committal of them, and adjudge them guilty because they committed them? Let us now consider the extreme case of Judas. We hold that it is clear from Scripture that God decreed from all eternity that Judas should betray the Lord Jesus.

My notes:Two stories and how they relate to the final events: the worship of the golden image (Daniel 3) and Peter's arrest and deliverance (Acts 12:1-17).Both stories remind us that we don't need to fear all the threats, tribulations, or even death that we may face at the very end. God is in complete control of all that is happening. Presented at the General Conference Office Worship on June 17, 2025.Questions to consider: Should they not have been more flexible? Wouldn't that lack of flexibility be a sign of radicalism, fanaticism, or extremism? They could have pretended to worship the image while praying to God in their hearts… But they knew that genuine internal acquiescence would always be revealed externally.What is fanaticism? The book of Deuteronomy (6:2) teaches us that to fear the Lord implies keeping ALL His statutes and His commandments, even those that may be considered minor ones, whose disregard may be considered as socially acceptable today.Rev 13:15 -  What is THE IMAGE of the beast (1st beast): When will the image of the beast be formed? When the church and state will be united, and religious observances will be enforced by civil and political power.The social and religious background:Social and spiritual values are extremely eroded, and many Christians are tired of how politics have supported and even promoted wicked values. Therefore, they will support a government that is perceived as promoting a return to ancient moral and spiritual values to protect the family and society.There will be miracles and revivals as a result of this movement. They will resemble, in almost all aspects, the true revivals, except in one detail. They will not lead to complete obedience to God's law, namely, the day of worship.What does worshipping the image of the beast mean?Then another question is crucial:But is that detail about which day should be kept pertinent if all are seeking the restoration of spiritual and social values? Will dissenters not be found working against a common good? When will the Image of the Beast be formed?“When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions. Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.” GC379 (446).THE IMAGE:If you worship itIf you don't worship it, Acts 12:1-17 (James' death and Peter's arrest) - There was in force a death penalty against Christians.Peter was delivered, but James (John's brother) was killed. Why were some believers spared while others were not?Revelation 2:10-11Should we expect death or deliverance? Modern Babylon seduces its worshipers by offering them material prosperity with one hand. Tithes and offerings now are a much-needed preparation for this moment. It removes some money from us, making us more vulnerable and leading us to pray more and learn how to trust God and live by faith.Those who love money now and have not learned to live by faith will be easily trapped by Babylon. When will people receive “the mark of the beast?”See - The Great Controversy, p. 449. What is this mark?THE MARKHow to trust God more, how to increase our faith, and be prepared for the final events?

In the early 1990s, while serving in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he uncovered evidence of unimaginable atrocities: the systematic abuse, torture, and murder of Indigenous children in church-run residential schools. Rather than remain silent, Kevin spoke out, documenting mass graves and survivor testimonies that revealed a genocidal collusion between church, state, and corporate powers. And this was only the beginning of his fight.Refusing to be silenced, Kevin founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), a groundbreaking platform to hold the powerful accountable through common law courts. His work has most recently exposed the Ninth Circle, a satanic cult allegedly involving high-ranking figures like Prince Andrew, King Charles, and Vatican officials, including Cardinals Reinhardt Marx and Timothy Dolan. Kevin's revelations are harrowing: children subjected to ritual sacrifices, the Vatican's complicity in MK ULTRA-style programming; and the use of military bases, churches, and even NATO headquarters for Ninth Circle ritual ceremonies. The stakes are high, and the enemy is formidable. Kevin's evidence points to a vast network - church, state, and corporate elites - protected by wealth, power, and a system that thrives on the expendability of children. He reveals how the Vatican and CIA collaborate. He warns of geopolitical maneuvers, such as attempts by Donald Trump and Cardinal Dolan to control Vatican funds, mirroring the forced resignation of Pope Benedict. Yet, amidst this darkness, Kevin sees hope: “You create hope by what you do,” he urges, calling on society to move from spectatorship to action.INTERIM REPORT:https://murderbydecree.com/2025/08/09/interim-report-of-the-special-prosecutor/#page-contentCONNECT WITH KEVIN:Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724Websites:-Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books-'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:https://cztl.bz?ref=2BzG1Free Shipping Code: IMAGINSupport the show

What happens in the spirit realm when you remember and decree a thing the Lord has spoken?  On today's podcast, we release that truth so you can see unfinished prophetic words fully activated.  

816 There went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 2:1-3 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Luke 2  KJV 1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. NIV 1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. Reflection on Scripture: With the coming of Christmas in several weeks I wanted to focus on the Birth of Christ. Luke 1 focuses on the foretelling of the birth of Jesus and the different testimonies of his divinity. Luke 2 here starts at an interesting spot. It begins with the Romans. This provides a very interesting question. Why did the Romans form the basis for the birthplace of Jesus? It seems that Jesus could have chosen to be born anywhere. He could have made it a deeply theological one as to where he was born, yet her the justification of why Jesus was born in Bethlehem came down to the decisions of Romans, who were gentiles, and were considered enemies to the people of God. Interesting that God chose to fulfill prophecy this way. Just as interesting, why didn't He prophecy something else as to the birthplace? God can fulfill his purposes any way he chooses. We can look to. Just as in times of old, he can chose any means he wants to fulfil his word. Many times in our lives we become convinced that God will only answer things in a certain way, or that good things can only come from good things. Yet God uses the oppression of his people and the respective census to begin the story. God can use bad things in our lives to drive positive change. The real distinction for what makes something good or bad, has more to do with how it causes us to draw near to God. God may have a calling for you, wrapped up in a bad package. The thing that makes it from God is that it draws you to God's light and truth.  Ponder now for a moment the different challenges you face? Might those be opportunities for your story to transition. Might they be the beginning of a story God is forming in your life. The struggle is that you will not know that until it is far too late to act. We must first seek the Kingdom of God. Pursue God and understanding will come later. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Hello, friends!We have a couple of special reports focusing on current issues facing the borderlands: migration.Migration is a contentious and polarizing topic that pundits often use to score political points against their opponents, overlooking the real stories of people caught in the middle. These stories of hope and resilience remind us of the importance of seeing others as human beings — human beings with dreams and aspirations, just like anyone else.In the second part of this final installment of our special reports, we sit down with a Venezuelan exile whom we are referring to as Chama. Chama entered the United States legally in 2022, following policies set by President Joe Biden's administration.Chama is not her real name. She agreed to be interviewed on the condition that Port of Entry not reveal her identity because she lacks legal status and fears deportation from the U.S.The first chapter of Chama's migrant journey covers her odyssey out of Venezuela and her determination to reunite with her family via Tijuana.In this second part, we explore her path into the United States, her herculean effort to do it legally, and how, despite all her efforts, the system ultimately failed her.Chama became one of hundreds of thousands of migrants who lost their legal status due to an executive order by President Donald Trump. As a result, she now lives in the shadows, undocumented — illegal by decree.You won't want to miss this incredible story of persistence and resoluteness.Social media and contactFrom KPBS, “Port of Entry” tells cross-border stories that connect us.

Speak it into existence

"A thought isn't a spiritual reality until you speak it. Words—not thoughts—activate faith and create change. Alan Mushegan, Sr.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show: Podcast regular, United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, humanitarian, loving father, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin AnnettBorn in Edmonton, Canada, in 1956, Kevin was a United Church minister turned global human rights crusader whose relentless pursuit of truth has shaken the foundations of power. Known as Eagle Strong Voice, Kevin's life transformed when he uncovered horrific crimes at the Port Alberni Indian Residential School in the early 1990s. His refusal to stay silent cost him his ministry, marriage, and reputation, as the United Church and Canadian authorities blacklisted him. Undeterred, Kevin's courage ignited a movement to expose systemic genocide, leading him to confront one of the world's most powerful institutions: the Vatican.Kevin's groundbreaking work began with the 1998 human rights tribunal in Vancouver, where he documented Canada's residential school genocide, forcing the nation to face its dark past. His award-winning documentary Unrepentant and books like Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust brought global attention to the deaths of thousands of Indigenous children, compelling Canada's 2008 apology. But Kevin's mission didn't stop there. In 2010, he co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), uniting survivors across 26 countries to hold the Vatican, British Crown, and others accountable for crimes against humanity. His efforts led to the historic resignation of Pope Benedict in 2013 after the ITCCS convicted him of complicity in child trafficking and abuse.As discussed on our last episode, Kevin has now set his sights on exposing the shadowy Ninth Circle cult and its sinister leader, our current Pope, Pope Leo. Through the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ), where he serves as a chief advisor, Kevin is spearheading a 2025 criminal lawsuit charging Pope Leo with murder, conspiracy, and crimes against humanity. Drawing on chilling eyewitness testimonies, Vatican archives, and INTERPOL records, Kevin's investigation reveals Pope Leo's alleged role in ritualistic child sacrifice, trafficking, and drug trade cover-ups, implicating other global elites like Donald Trump, King Charles III, Cardinal Dolan and even the CEO of Pfizer. Today, he will be updating us on what's happened since the last time he was on, where the case stands today, and what is next.Kevin is a beacon of hope, proving one voice can challenge empires. His fearless stand against the Vatican and Pope Leo calls us all to action, igniting a global movement for justice and healing. Join him at www.murderbydecree.com to stand with the voiceless, reclaim truth, and build a world where no child suffers in silence. Together, with fearless leaders like Kevin leading the way, we can forge a future of courage, compassion, and unstoppable change.INTERIM REPORT / VERDICT:https://murderbydecree.com/2025/10/06/__trashed/#page-contentCONNECT WITH KEVIN: Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724 Websites: -Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books -'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmailSupport the show

In this episode, we'll see how God uses both encouragement and challenge to keep the Israelites on track. Then He artfully flips bureaucracy into a miraculous blessing and an all-expenses-paid second Temple build.Themes of this podcast:God gives us both encouragement and exhortation. Just as Haggai challenged and Zechariah encouraged the Israelites, God knows when we need a push and when we need comfort. In our lives today, He still provides both through Scripture, wise friends, and the Spirit's leading to keep us moving forward in His plans.Opposition can become God's tool for good. The Israelites faced constant resistance, yet God flipped the script so  their enemies ended up funding the second Temple. In the same way, challenges in our lives can refine our character and become the very means God uses to strengthen our temple and glorify Him.God always finishes what He starts. The second Temple was completed because God orchestrated leadership, prophecy, government decisions, and the people's zeal. This reminds us that the Lord is faithful to complete the good work He begins in us, even when the process feels delayed or uncertain.Show notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.
