VOV1 - Israel sẽ tổ chức tổng tuyển cử vào ngày 27/10 tới, đánh dấu lần đầu tiên sau nhiều thập kỷ một chính phủ hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm kỳ 4 năm.Trong bối cảnh cuộc xung đột tại Gaza vẫn chưa khép lại và các vấn đề an ninh tiếp tục chi phối đời sống chính trị, cuộc bỏ phiếu được xem là phép thử lớn nhất đối với Thủ tướng Benjamin Netanyahu sau gần hai năm chiến sự. Quốc hội Israel (Knesset) sẽ kết thúc nhiệm kỳ hiện tại vào ngày 17/7, mở đường cho cuộc tổng tuyển cử vào cuối tháng 10. Theo thông báo của Knesset, do Quốc hội hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm kỳ nên không cần ban hành luật giải tán Quốc hội như thông lệ.Ông Benjamin Netanyahu, 76 tuổi, người giữ cương vị thủ tướng lâu nhất trong lịch sử Israel qua nhiều nhiệm kỳ, đã xác nhận sẽ tiếp tục tranh cử với mục tiêu giành thêm một nhiệm kỳ mới.Những tuần gần đây, liên minh cầm quyền, được đánh giá là một trong những chính phủ theo đường lối cánh hữu nhất trong lịch sử Israel, đã đẩy nhanh việc thông qua một số dự luật nhằm củng cố vị thế trước cuộc bầu cử. Bên cạnh việc duy trì liên minh hiện tại, ông Netanyahu cũng phát đi tín hiệu muốn mở rộng cơ sở chính trị. Trước đó, ông từng bày tỏ mong muốn thành lập “một chính phủ quốc gia rộng lớn, không phải chính phủ cánh hữu, cũng không phải chính phủ cánh tả phụ thuộc vào các đảng Arab”. Giới quan sát cho rằng đây là nỗ lực đưa thông điệp đoàn kết quốc gia trở thành trọng tâm của chiến dịch tranh cử trong bối cảnh an ninh vẫn là mối quan tâm hàng đầu của cử tri Israel.Trong khi đó, ông Netanyahu nhiều lần khẳng định các chiến dịch quân sự của Israel nhằm vào Iran và lực lượng Hezbollah tại Liban đã tạo điều kiện để nước này thúc đẩy các mục tiêu chiến lược trong khu vực. Nhà lãnh đạo Israel cho rằng chính phủ mới sau bầu cử sẽ có điều kiện tiếp tục triển khai các sáng kiến về đối ngoại và an ninh. Chiến lược tranh cử của ông cũng được cho là đặt trọng tâm vào vấn đề an ninh, thay vì chỉ dựa trên nền tảng liên minh cánh hữu truyền thống.Tuy nhiên, ông Netanyahu bước vào cuộc bầu cử với không ít thách thức. Không chỉ chịu sức ép từ những đánh giá về quá trình điều hành chiến sự tại Gaza, liên minh cầm quyền còn phải đối mặt với các bất đồng kéo dài về chính sách đối nội và đặc biệt là các phiên tòa xét xử tham nhũng nhằm vào chính Nhà lãnh đạo này. Trong khoảng 18 tháng qua, ông Netanyahu đã tham gia làm chứng tại 98 phiên điều trần liên quan đến các cáo buộc tham nhũng. Chuyên gia đối ngoại Israel Alon Pincas nhận định: "Theo tôi, ông Benjamin Netanyahu đang bước vào cuộc bầu cử với năm vấn đề lớn chưa được giải quyết. Đó là các hồ sơ liên quan đến Gaza, Liban và Iran, phiên tòa hình sự mà chính ông đang phải đối mặt, cùng với tranh cãi về việc có nên bắt buộc thực hiện nghĩa vụ quân sự đối với cộng đồng Do Thái Chính thống cực đoan. Đây đều là những vấn đề rất nhạy cảm trong chính trường Israel và theo quan điểm của tôi, ông ấy đều chưa xử lý hiệu quả."Một cuộc thăm dò gần đây của Đại học Hebrew Jerusalem cho thấy tỷ lệ ủng hộ dành cho Thủ tướng Netanyahu đã giảm từ 40,5% vào đầu tháng 3 xuống còn 29,4% vào tháng 6. Giới quan sát nhận định cuộc tổng tuyển cử ngày 27/10 không chỉ quyết định tương lai chính trị của ông Benjamin Netanyahu mà còn phản ánh lựa chọn của cử tri Israel trước những vấn đề lớn về an ninh quốc gia, ổn định chính trị và định hướng phát triển đất nước sau gần hai năm xung đột. Kết quả cuộc bầu cử cũng có thể tác động đáng kể đến chính sách của Israel đối với Gaza cũng như cục diện an ninh Trung Đông trong thời gian tới./. Thu Hoài/Ban Thời sự VOV1Thủ tướng Benjamin Netanyahu.

Bride's Ministry to the Lost (1)  (audio) David Eells – 7/12/26 Our Brother's Keeper Eve Brast - 12/19/2015 (David's notes in red) Since yesterday afternoon, the Holy Spirit in me has been very grieved. I felt sadness from the Father's heart but I didn't understand why. Then again, on the way home from the Friday night meeting, His sadness and grieving were heavy upon me again. I began to pray as I pulled into my driveway that Father would help me to help His people and that He would make me His eyes and ears and mind and that He would help me to be His hands and feet. I understood in general that this was what the Spirit was grieved about, and He desired that this would be the desire of His people above all else. (Please read my word below from the Father on 12/07/15. It's so very important to Him that my heart breaks at the earnest longing from His Spirit that He allowed me to feel.) Eve Brast - 12/07/15: I asked Father what was on His heart to say to us today and He told me to get a pen and paper. He said, “My people who are called by My name, humble yourselves before Me this day. Fast and pray with weeping and lamentations for your brethren who are in this land, for swift destruction is coming and distress from every side and there shall be none to deliver! But I will deliver, by My power and strong arm, those who will repent and turn to Me in that day. Take care to be mindful of your fellow brethren! Lay down your lives, for you are your brother's keeper. Offer up to Me the sweet smell of sacrifice and I will honor it. Fast! Pray! For the day draws near. All things will be accomplished according to My Word”. (Pray for gifts to be able to help the brethren.) When I lay down to sleep last night, I asked Father for a dream to share with the brethren at the morning prayer meeting on Saturday morning. I received it on 12/19/15. I dreamed that I was making rounds with David and Michael in a nursing home/mental hospital. (The Church is supposed to be gifted to heal the spiritually old and mentally sick in the body.) David was a surgeon dressed in light blue scrubs, and Michael was a resident surgeon in training dressed in royal blue scrubs. (They represent the Man-child ministry “who is like God”.) (Which is the meaning of “Michael”. To be like God, we need His fruit and gifts to be able to help the brethren.) There were others with us from UBM and some nurses I currently work with at the hospital in real life. David was a very talented and important doctor and was well-respected in this dream. He had come there to perform a new procedure that would restore these patients in this facility. We all desired to assist him in this procedure. (Those who followed are like the disciples of Jesus' day who followed Him.) As we all followed David, he would stop at the different rooms and areas of this nursing home/mental hospital and point out different patients and explain to us what he needed us to do to help him. Many of the patients were demented or just old and feeble (in spirit). Many were half naked (not dressed up with the works of Christ) and very obese (meaning overcome by flesh). They wandered around aimlessly and out of their right minds (which is the renewed mind of Christ). (These are our brothers and sisters in Christ who have not come out of the ways of the Harlot church yet or who have fallen back into worldly lusts and the mind of the flesh and their old beastly nature. {Isa.63:9} In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.) It was dark as we approached some double glass doors that led out into a courtyard filled with green grass. And as we stood outside on the lighted, covered porch area, it began to rain very large drops of water. (Michael Hare says these represent the trials and sacrifices we endure for the sake of our brethren. As faithful priests, this is what is required of us.) (Also, the rain can be the anointing and gifts God gives to those who sacrifice their lives to help the brethren. As we give of ourselves, He gives to us.) David and Michael stepped out into the rain, and they turned to face us. David held out his hand and said, “I need someone to come and get the stretcher in order to transport these patients”. (The word “stretcher” is a play on words. In order to be at rest, you must “stretch” your faith.) (Those who are able are called to help carry a spiritually sick Christian until they can walk for themselves.) All the others who had been following David and Michael were unwilling to step out into the rain with them in order to go get the stretcher for the “patients”. They began to turn and walk back into the nursing home/mental hospital and murmur as they went, saying that this was too hard, too difficult. {Joh.6:66} Upon this many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. My heart sank as they walked away and I felt so alone and sad for David. I said, “I'll go”. (The true Bride will help to save God's people, like Esther did.) I didn't want to get out in the rain either, but to my surprise, even though it was cold as the large raindrops hit my face and my arms, I wasn't getting wet. The water was just soaking into my skin and filling me up inside. I felt encouraged and strengthened. {Isa.28:11} Nay, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people; {12} to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. People avoid the rain as though it were acid, but in actuality, it doesn't hurt at all and is refreshing; so it is with tribulations and trials, but the refreshing of the Spirit will help us. {Rom.5:3} And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness; {4} and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope: {5} and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. {Jas.1:2} Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; {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. (Missy said this reluctance to help God's people reminds her of the book of Esther, where it says: {Est.4:14} For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? When we choose obedience, Father will strengthen us for the task, just like He did for Jesus. {Rev.22:17} And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take of the water of life freely.) (The verse that came to M.L. the morning when I shared this dream was: (Jas.4:17} To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Please, brethren, fast and pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ. (Ask for the Holy Spirit and gifts from God for them.) Ask for ears to hear the Holy Spirit's pleadings with us on their behalf. {Rom.9:3} For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh: {Luk.12:50} But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished.) The three of us walked across the grassy courtyard together (with the flesh under our feet) to another building on the other side that was white brick (representing righteous works to serve the needy). This was where David would perform the new procedure. (Jesus said, “Behold, I make all things new”.) (I asked Eve, and she thought that the following correction applies well to some in all of UBM. I believe it speaks of many who have had much training but as yet have not entered into the work of restoring their brethren in whatever capacity they have a gift for.) There were many UBM members sitting in the doctor's lounge, along with all the children of UBM, including my two sons, Elijah and Josiah. (Even the two witnesses at this time need the anointing to serve.) They were all sitting around waiting for David to come and perform the new procedure. They were all busy and absorbed in their conversations. They all wanted to talk about the procedure but didn't want to take any action. (Like perpetual students needing to put their knowledge to work.) The children were all over the floor and sitting in chairs and on ottomans that were blocking the path to the procedure room. David told me to move the chairs and ottomans out of the way and clear a path for the stretcher to go through. (Take away their resting in the flesh so they have to stand on their own feet.) This was difficult because the children wouldn't get up off the furniture, and the room was very crowded with people and furniture. (Insisting on resting in the flesh.) The adults wouldn't make the children obey and wouldn't help me move anything. It was like they were unable to hear my requests. I found the strength to move the furniture with the children still on it and clear a path. (In short, we can't be perpetual students; it's time for the more mature to get to work restoring the Kingdom people. Even the children can do something to help. Not all are ordained to be elders, but all have gifts, or should have, to help in restoring the Kingdom. In 1 Corinthians 12, the Lord says to forsake the idols and seek the gifts to be able to help God's people become a defensible body.) After this, Michael and I went to find the right stretcher that would accommodate a very obese patient. (Representing those overcome with flesh.) We finally found an old, faded forest green recliner that was very wide, and when we reclined it all the way, it transformed into a stretcher with wheels. We rejoiced when we found it. (Representing enabling the spiritually sick Christians to rest from their labors through faith.) When I woke up, I asked Father for a word for this dream and received Isaiah 33:16. In context: {Isa.33:10} Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. (First, the Lord addresses the fate of those who believe themselves to be a part of Zion but do not have the fruit.) {11} Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath (Hebrew: “spirit”) is a fire that shall devour you. (In other words, be careful of the spirit that goes forth from you through what you speak because that is what you will receive.) {12} And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. (Jesus said, “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit is cast into the fire”.) {13} Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. {14} The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? (The sinners cannot stand to dwell among those who offer up their flesh as a continual burnt offering; their fear drives them out.) (So who can dwell in the fire? Who can keep their flesh on the altar?) {15} He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil: {16} He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks (meaning those who are defended by the Word); his bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. (He shall have God's supply.) {17} Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: (They shall see the visitation of the Lord in His body.) they shall behold a land that reacheth afar: (They shall have much freedom living in their Promised Land.) Seek the gifts of God to build up His people. {1Co.12:1} Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. {2} Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. {3} Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. (So forsake the worldly idols and seek gifts to edify God's weak people.) {4} Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. {5} And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. {6} And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. {7} But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. {8} For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: {9} to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; {10} and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: {11} but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. {12} For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. {13} For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. (They were all filled with the Holy Spirit that manifests the gifts to defend the body. {Act.19:2} and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given.) {1Co.12:14} For the body is not one member, but many. {15} If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. {16} And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. {17} If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? {18} But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. {19} And if they were all one member, where were the body? {20} But now they are many members, but one body. {21} And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. {22} Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: {23} and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; {24} whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; {25} that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. {26} And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. {27} Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. {28} And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues. {29} Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? {30} have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? {31} But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you. {13:1} If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. {2} And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. {3} And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. {4} Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {5} doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; {6} rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; {7} beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. {8} Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. {9} For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; {10} but when that which is perfect (complete) is come, that which is in part shall be done away. {11} When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. {12} For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. {13} But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. {14:1} Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. ... {12} So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. ...{26} What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. {27} If any man speaketh in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one interpret: {28} but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. {29} And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern. {30} But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. {31} For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted; {32} and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets; {33} for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.   Pray the Church Will Hear and Go Back to School  G. M. 2/27/18 (David's notes in red) I was an observer in this dream. I was in a place where there were classrooms with clear glass walls. There was a wooden coat rack in the hall. There were several boys walking in the hall who were very focused on where they were going. (12-14 years old [man-child], not messing around or wasting time, like they were on a serious assignment). (These are the teachers in this school who themselves hear the Holy Spirit)  There was a very cute little girl (the Church or the ‘little sister') with blonde hair jumping rope in the hallway (appeared to be about 5 years old (Grace). She was dressed all in pink with a pink puffy winter coat (Time of winter - tribulation). She had on pink snow boots and was also wearing a pink headband with fuzzy muffs over her ears. I could tell these were special earmuffs and were not just to keep her warm, but had a headset built into them so the teacher was able to speak to her wherever she was. (She is capable of hearing the teacher, the Man-child by the Holy Spirit.)  The little girl was having a good time singing and jumping rope in the hall. (The young and immature play games.) I could hear the teacher calling her name and trying to get her attention. The teacher had called to the little girl often to get her attention, but she didn't hear because of all her singing and jumping. Finally, she did hear the voice. (Pray for this) She stood real still and cupped her hands over her earmuffs so she could hear clearly. A big smile came over her face as she heard her teacher call her to the classroom. (Father will see to it that she goes to the class of the Holy Spirit.) I felt this little girl could represent many in the apostate church who are busy doing their own thing and not hearing the voice of the Lord. He is calling each of us to spend time with Him each day. Sometimes He has to use an extra-loud voice or circumstances to get our attention. Once we hear Him, we gladly come to Him and let Him teach us those things dear to His heart. I was given by faith at random for this dream Luk.24:23 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. (The Church does not know the Living Risen Lord, the Jesus of promises and miracles, Who they were talked out of by false shepherds. Jesus and His disciples are our examples of what a Christian is. Heb.13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever. Joh.14:12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. Joh.7:38: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.) The scripture that came to my mind was Rev.3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and him with Me. 21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father in His throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. I believe He may use v19 to get the attention of His children. As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent. Other verses that spoke to me were: Joh.8:47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. Joh.10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.    Bearing Our Cross Will Save Souls Sean Lynch - 07/01/2009 In a dream last night, the Lord showed me about a coming crucifixion for the brethren. In the dream, I was in either a hotel or some type of big castle. During this dream, there were many events going on, but the Lord is only bringing certain things to my remembrance. In one of the events, I remember I was outside of the hotel, and I heard on a loudspeaker tuned to a secular radio station, David's voice. He was preaching the gospel to the world. I thought this was awesome because now David's message was going to the whole world and was reaching many people. (Representing the David Man-child reformers.) The next event I remember, I was inside this hotel, and I saw a group of people approaching me. Then the fire of God fell upon me with holy boldness because I started preaching the Word with boldness and no fear, like the early apostles did when the Holy Spirit fell upon them. (Normally, I'm very shy and not bold. The Lord has been working on me with this, and I believe He has shown me that He is going to make me speak with boldness. “God's power is made perfect in our weakness”. However, these people did not receive the message of the gospel, as they started laughing and scoffing and went their own way. The next scene I remember, I was in a long walkway with doors on both sides. I believe I was with another brother in Christ. Suddenly, a mountain of a man with long hair, very strong and looking like a professional wrestler, walked in to pummel whoever got in his path. The other brother took off, and both doors shut, and I was left alone with this man. (The Lord was forcing me into crucifixion.) I decided I was going to preach the gospel to him, which at the time seemed crazy because this man looked like he wanted to rip me limb from limb; however, I felt holy boldness rise up in me and went and stood by the man and preached the Word with boldness to him. After I was done preaching, he just stood there and looked at me and then proceeded to beat me up very badly. I did not strike back but let him pummel me. I do not know if he had killed me or not, but I knew the Lord was showing me to turn the other cheek. I was then taken to another scene where I saw this same man had changed because I did not fight back. He was now a fire-breathing gospel evangelist and was preaching to other people. I then remember him preaching to a group of people, and then he was beaten, as well. I do not know if he was killed. (The Lord had shown me that because of my testimony of turning the other cheek and going to my cross, this man was saved and was allowed to go to his cross.) I remember being deeply touched by this brother who had gone to his cross. I remain touched even now as I'm writing this because the Lord is truly showing me how to lay my life down for the brethren and what is meant to go to our cross. The Lord has shown me that there are many brothers and sisters in the world who will come into the kingdom as a result of our willingness to turn the other cheek and overcome evil by laying our lives down. Please read our book, How Shall We Die.   Are You a Yielded Vessel? Sandy Shaw - 11/03/2015 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was high in the air with a big angel on each side of me; each of them was about 10 feet tall. They glowed and stood arm-to-arm with me. One angel asked, “Sandra, what do you see?” I said, “I see a storm approaching; a lot of lightning; sheets of water and wind coming closer and closer”. Then the angel asked me, “Sandra, do you hear the Master speaking?” I had to get very quiet and still. And then I said, “Yes, I do”. Then the angel of the Lord said, “Do it without ceasing”. (It is better to find the will of God in the quiet before the storm. {1Ki.19:11} And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake: {12} and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. (Ah, there He is!) {13} And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? Uh-oh, he should have asked before the storm. The flesh is impulsive, moved by fear and self-preservation. Don't obey these enemy spirits or you will end up in deeper trouble. {14} And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. {15} And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; {16} and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. Uh-oh, lost his ministry, just like Saul, who got ahead of God.) Don't be moved by fear; it is an evil spirit; it is their job to lead you wrong. {Amo.5:19} As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. (Do not be reactionary; get quiet and ask for the Lord's instructions concerning direction and judgments to come.) {Isa.28:16} therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner- stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. (We don't have to get in a hurry because the Lord must go before us, as with Israel in the wilderness. {Isa.52:12} For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.) I started praying in tongues and I put my right hand out and I could feel the cold rain and the wind. I could see the wind make depressions in my skin as the force of it blew against my arm. {2Co.5:7} (for we walk by faith, not by sight). {Heb.10:38} But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. Now I'm a little farther up, higher than before, and the angel of the Lord said, “Sandra, what do you see?” I said, “I see a second storm approaching me and five tornadoes”. I could see beyond these storms and see the devastation that they left. Buildings were gone and turned to rubble. But some weren't even touched. {Psa.91:11} For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. {Mat.7:24} Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: {25} and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. {26} And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: {27} and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. The angel asked, “Do you hear the Master's instructions?” I had to get really quiet and still so I could hear. And I said, “Yes”. Then he said, “Do it without ceasing”. (Be trained to seek, hear and act on the Lord's instructions concerning the coming judgments so that when they come you may act in the rest of faith and have a Passover and be able to help others.) The first time I couldn't hear because of the storm, the crackle of the lightning, and the thunder. And the whole time I kept hearing John 4:21-24. John 4:21-24. John 4:21-24 ... {Joh.4:21} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. {22} Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. {23} But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. {24} God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (Worship = Greek: Proskuneo, meaning “to kiss toward”. A reverential act of love toward God. Any act of love toward God. Every act of obedience is an act of love toward God, for we love Him when we keep His commandments, as He said. We are commanded to worship God with our whole being, with songs, with instruments and dance, etc. Worship should be in spirit, with the heart, meaning not in flesh. It should be in truth, meaning not an act of show to impress others.)   11/07/15 I dreamed this all again. The difference this time was that I could hear the Lord. He spoke very softly, barely above a whisper. He kept saying, “Pray in the spirit and in truth without ceasing. Pray in the spirit and in truth without ceasing”. {1Th.2:13} And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe. {5:17} pray without ceasing; {18} in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. Everything was completely tuned out. I did not hear the storm.   11/08/15 When I woke up in the night, the clock showed 3:33. And the Lord asked me a question: “Are you a yielded vessel?” {Jer.33:3} Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not. (Call to the Lord in the quiet of the night, when men don't see.) {Mat.6:6} But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee. I went back to sleep and woke up at 4:44. And I heard the same question: “Are you a yielded vessel?” (The Greek gematria for “perfect love” is 444.) Then I went back to sleep and in the dream, He showed me and reminded me of something that happened when I was a child. In the dream, I was reminded that there was a Pentecostal church across the street from my mom's house. And my dad was related in some way, to most of the people in that church. Great aunts and uncles and cousins went to that church. Now they were having a special Jubilee celebration with lots of music on Saturday because nothing could interfere with the Sunday service. There were three much older women who asked if I could go to the Jubilee, but Mom said, “No!” Then my dad's great-aunt asked, “Why not?” And Mom said, “Because I'm teaching her Catholicism”. So I went to my room and cried myself to sleep. I really didn't understand at four, almost five years old. Then my dad knocked on my door and grabbed a blanket. He took my hand and we went to the front yard, putting the blanket on the ground, and I sat down. And he went to the kitchen and got some grapes and cheese. Mom came out a few minutes later, very upset with my dad. She said in Spanish, “Why are you deliberately trying to go against what I said? He said, “What you are teaching her is wrong. As long as they are praying and singing and lifting up Jesus, that is all that matters”. She went back into the house, slamming the door. Then the music started. The songs that I remember were “This Little Light of Mine” and “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”. I learned that song that day with all its verses and I knew I was singing that from my heart. I woke up again and the clock showed 5:55 (grace multiplied), but later that day I went to sleep and dreamed all of that again. But this time the dream went further. Dad came home from work and said, “Why don't you sing that song again, ‘I Have Decided to Follow Jesus'?” Then I did. And when the part came, “Though none go with me, still I will follow”, I started to cry and then sob. Then my dad said, “I thought you liked that song”. And I answered, “Daddy, someday I will be by myself. Jesus has to be enough”. And that's when I heard again, “Are you a yielded vessel?” (Meaning, would we follow Jesus if none of our family or friends or people we respected went with us? Obviously, God's grace, 555, will help us, if we desire this.) Because we know the storms are going to come, He is constantly giving us instructions. So are we yielded vessels? Are we listening and obeying God? We are supposed to be hearing Him, even in the midst of chaos. {Joh.4:21} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. {22} Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. {23} But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. {24} God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (Are we willing to love and obey Him when no man sees?) {2Co.4:7} But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves; {8} we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; {9} pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; {10} always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. {11} For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (If the life of Jesus is manifested in our mortal flesh, we will say with Him. {Joh.5:30} I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. He will speak to those who are willing to do His will. {7:17} If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.   Love Your Neighbor as Yourself My Hiding Place 8/23/22 (1 Cor.13:1-8a)(KJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth.  Dear brothers and sisters,  Lately, my prayer has been for Father to teach me His way to love. Here is how He responded to my prayer. On August 17, 2022, I needed to run a few errands. I got ready with my 2 boys when my daughter popped her head through the door and said, ‘Hey Mom, do you still need to go to the store? I can take you. My car needs to go for a spin.'  Off we went to the first and second stores. On the way back, I needed to stop at a third store, but my daughter decided she needed to go home. So I made arrangements to be dropped at the last stop with the boys, and then my husband would come to pick us up. While shopping, I received a call from my husband that he was on the way. But when he reached us, he made a strange announcement. He said that our daughter had arrived home accompanied by a homeless man who desired to get baptized! I have to confess that my initial reaction was not very friendly. I thought, ‘Why did our daughter bring someone to our home without asking for permission? Why did she bring in a stranger knowing my husband was heading out to get me and the boys from the store?' I was not pleased and couldn't come up with any good answer. But on the way back home, I told my husband, ‘Let's just pray for wisdom that Father will help us to deal with whatever may be going on this evening'. We got home and sure enough, there was a homeless man sitting in our kitchen. He looked very shy and spoke very quietly. My first approach was to get my boys situated with their snacks and their bedtime routine, while my husband had a chance to talk to the man. Once I felt my husband was a little more comfortable, I took the time to come over and offer the man some food and drink. Then I asked him to share his testimony. While telling his story, he asked in a rhetorical way, “Why can't people just love? Do you see me? Because I see you.” He wasn't trying to address the question at us, but that didn't matter. To me, it pierced my heart! It was as if the Holy Spirit had uttered those words through his mouth, convicting me. Why was my heart not immediately happy at this man coming to our home? Would I have acted differently if he had shown up wearing fancy clothes? Had I been too busy to notice the needs of those less fortunate? While the Holy Spirit did the job of convicting me, it became clear that I needed some repenting. As he continued to share, I was overcome with Jesus' compassion. Tears began streaming down my face while remembering Jesus saying, ‘They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick'. So I gave my daughter the go-ahead to get the bathroom ready. I grabbed some clothes for the baptism and a clean change of clothes for afterwards and within a half hour, all was ready to go. There was our new friend, in our bathtub, ready to confess Jesus as His Saviour and turn from his sins, acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God and renouncing Satan for good. Hallelujah!  Afterwards, we got a chance to share a tea and some refreshments around the table and we encouraged him to pray. Then it was time to drop him off at his request while I tidied up. As I said my goodbye for the night, he reiterated how thankful he was for our hospitality. Then I gave him a big hug and blessed him in the name of the Lord. Everything had happened so fast, too fast for me to absorb it all. While I wiped down the bathroom, I examined my heart. ‘Father, I'm sorry that my heart was not ready to have this gentleman over at first, that I questioned what You had in mind rather than just trusting in You.' As I continued with my cleaning, I remembered that our home is not ours but the Lord's. On this night, Father had welcomed one of His prodigal sons home through us. We rejoiced with the angels in heaven for this awesome occasion. My heart still felt heavy and desperate for Father's intimacy. I wanted my alone time with Him and have a chance to properly confess my shortcomings. That's when I retreated into our secret place to pray and to listen. This is when the Holy Spirit came upon me with such sweet presence and impressed these words into my Spirit. Mat.25:34-40 (KJV) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Thank You, Father, for knowing the desire of my heart so intimately – that of seeing many souls come into Your kingdom. Thank You, Lord, for giving me a heart to share with those less fortunate on various occasions and to open our home to our new friend this evening. May Your Word be engraved on his heart and may he follow You all the days appointed for him. May his life bring You glory and may he share Your salvation with many more. Dear Father, empty me of all of me and fill me with more of Your Spirit. I pray I may be found worthy to be used mightily for Your Kingdom. To You is all power and glory, forever and ever, in Jesus' name. Amen! Titus 3:3-5 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. That's right, brothers and sisters. It wasn't that long ago when we also wandered around without the Lord, chasing after the things of the world, giving ourselves over to sin. And Father had great mercy on us. Now, it's our turn to do the same to others. The harvest is ready; the fields are ripe. Let's pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out His laborers. Let's also pray for His love to abound and overflow in us to be able to share generously. (Hos.6:6a) For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice. 1 John 3:16-18 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Today, the Lord is calling us to love His way, through actions and not just words. The kind of love our Saviour displayed for us is so deep. Lord, help us to keep dying to ourselves daily and to embrace our crosses, laying our lives down for our brethren. Let us not grow weary of doing good. May the Lord find us occupied in His work and loving each other when He returns! 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.  Mark 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.  1 Tim.6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.    A Cry For Souls Solitary Man 4/4/25 So many souls! So many souls hanging in the balance! So many souls perishing. With the whole world being shaken as never before, who in My body is focusing on what really matters? Which one of My servants still dwells on what is most dear.  Do My people think that the world of mammon is what they should pay attention to? Do My children think their finances are what matters most? How about patriotism? Should pledging allegiance to this empire or that be what dominates your soul? Perhaps it should be politics. Or seeking ever more information on one topic or another. Maybe more facts and figures are what you need!  The planet has never resembled Babel as much as it does today. Voices are crying out over every cause and crusade imaginable. Lies piled upon lies. Ignorance coupled with anger and unholy passions. The noise is deafening. And My people have fallen into this bottomless pit of the unending babble of Babel. Where is the voice of My church today? How is it, as the knowledge of God being all but erased out of the land, that My people have forgotten the first principles? Where is the cry over the lostness of souls? Have you ever seen such a great multitude hurtling themselves towards the eternal flames of hell as you see today? Have you ever witnessed such a hatred of all things holy and pure as you do at this time? While you fight for your freedoms, you pay, oh so little heed to those perishing all around you. While you focus all your energy worrying and fretting over what comes next, those even in your own household that are destined for eternal torment, you have made accommodations for in your own soul. While you lament over others' political persuasions, unless they all repent, they will all likewise perish, regardless of which leaders they admire or hate.  The curse of social media has deceived your souls. Do you ever stop and consider exactly how you are spending your life? When was the last time you took stock of how you are using the days that I have allotted you? Where is your heart? Remember what I have told you. Where your heart is, that is where your treasure is to be found.  Is your heart consumed with mammon? Is it obsessed with current evils? Maybe it's your entertainment. Or the latest conspiracy of wicked men. Perhaps all you care about is your children. Identify your passion, and there is where your treasure lies. But what about the lost? Have the cares of the world so choked the flame of the Spirit of God that souls no longer matter? Have you convinced yourselves that there is nothing that you can do? Since no one seems to want to listen to the things of God, have you given up?  But what about prayer? Have you given up on the power of prayer as well? Did I not wonder whether, when I return, I would find faith on the earth? Is there anyone left who believes that prayer will move heaven? But will you pray, not on your own behalf, but rather die to your own desires, and spend yourself by standing in the gap for those who are dead in sin? Many are in terror, not knowing what comes next. Yet, what does it matter what comes next if one does not know Me? What does it matter if this nation is made great [again], or that war is averted, or this economic collapse is halted, if one loses his own soul? Why has My church stopped weeping over the lost? I said My burden would be easy, and My yoke light. But only for those who have truly put their desires aside and fully embraced Mine. I guarantee that those who refuse to lose their own lives shall never find satisfaction, fulfilment, or peace. But those who lose their life for My sake shall not only find purpose and meaning, but a fulfilment that only I can provide.  Children, you know that the time is short. Unless you choose to stop what you are doing and find your way back to the cross, your heart will never become one with Mine. And My heart beats for the lost. For every soul that slips off into eternity without Me, I am wounded anew. Will you not go forth and be My hands and feet, My voice to those who have no one else? Will you find the courage to obey Me when I call you to spread the good news before it's too late? Will you put down your phones and sacrifice your time to petition heaven unceasingly, until I send My Spirit to open the eyes of the blind once again? Who amongst you shall find the resolve to return to your first love, and be that light to those who grope about in darkness? Which of My children shall decide to re-enlist in the Lord's army of prayer warriors, of soldiers who are fearless and unashamed in their witness of Me? To those who let My words of challenge sink in and once again reignite the fire of evangelism, there is great reward that awaits you. Let not this day pass without asking My Father to quicken the truths found here, so that you will not be found wanting on that final day. I long to tell each and every one of you that you have done well, and now it is time to enter into the joy of your Master! Heed the warning, and this shall be yours. Heed it not, and risk it all. The choice is yours alone to make. Scripture References Mat.6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  Luk.6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Mat.6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luk.8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. Luk.21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.  Mat.10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Lam.2:11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. Joe.2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.  Mat.11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Mat.6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.  Mat.16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Joh.12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.  Joh.17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Joh.3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Rom.10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  Luk.18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?  2Jn.1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Dan.12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.  Mat.25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been fa

And Job answered and said,2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

But Job answered and said,2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Not too long ago I wrote a blog piece entitled “Music Hath Charms” in which I argued for the softening and transformational nature of music (adding a plug for choir directors with the suggestion they were mostly all underpaid). One person who read the piece called my attention to some (shall we say) less edifying music and said, “What about this music?” I replied: “Good point.” My respondent was right: not all music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Indeed, some music hath charms to incite a savage breast or even to create savagery in the human breast where it did not exist before. All music hath charms but sometimes the charms are harmful.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

Cái tên Hezbollah một lần nữa trở thành tâm điểm của thời sự quốc tế khi tương lai hòa bình hay chiến tranh giữa Mỹ và Iran được quyết định một phần chủ yếu tại vùng biên giới Liban – Israel, nơi quân đội Israel đối đầu với lực lượng Hezbollah.  Từ eo biển Hormuz Vùng Vịnh đến sông Litani, miền nam Liban  Điều 1 của Thỏa thuận sơ bộ Mỹ - Iran 14 điểm yêu cầu đình chiến tại Liban, bảo đảm toàn vẹn lãnh thổ và chủ quyền của Liban, cũng có nghĩa là Israel phải rút khỏi các vùng đất đang kiểm soát tại đây. Teheran từng đe dọa đóng cửa trở lại eo biển Hormuz, nếu khu vực miền Nam Liban, cách đó 2.000 km, chưa im tiếng súng. Cuối năm 2024, sau khi thủ lĩnh tối cao Hassan Nasrallah và hàng loạt lãnh đạo cao cấp của Hezbollah bị Israel hạ sát, lực lượng này tưởng như đang trên đường suy tàn. Cuộc chiến Mỹ - Israel chống Iran rút cuộc đưa Hezbollah trở lại tuyến đầu. Hezbollah được biết đến vừa như một đảng chính trị của cộng đồng Hồi giáo theo hệ phái Shia tại Liban, nhưng đồng thời cũng là một tổ chức vũ trang, được mệnh danh là « một nhà nước trong nhà nước ». Hezbollah được một số cơ sở nghiên cứu xếp vào « lực lượng vũ trang phi nhà nước » lớn nhất khu vực. Lá cờ của tổ chức này nổi bật với cụm từ « Hezbollah », có nghĩa là « Đảng của Thượng Đế », với một cánh tay cầm khẩu súng trường AK-47, tượng trưng cho chủ trương tranh đấu vũ trang, chống lại các thế lực áp bức (xem thêm What Is Hezbollah?, Viện tư vấn Council on Foreign Policy).   Hezbollah, sản phẩm « made in 1982 » của chế độ Hồi giáo Iran? Hezbollah thường được coi là một tổ chức do chế độ thần quyền Iran lập ra, sau cuộc Cách mạng Hồi giáo 1979, để phục vụ các mục tiêu của Teheran. Tuy nhiên, đối với nhiều chuyên gia, quá trình ra đời của lực lượng này cho thấy mối quan hệ lâu đời giữa các cộng đồng Hồi giáo theo hệ phái Shia ở Liban với Iran. Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, nhà báo Farid Fatemi, Ban tiếng Persan RFI, nhận định : « Hezbollah là một sản phẩm, có thể nói là hệ quả trực tiếp của cuộc Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran. Vào thời điểm Cách mạng Iran nổ ra, người ta thường nói đến « xuất khẩu cách mạng ». Chế độ Iran đã nhanh chóng tận dụng những mối quan hệ lâu đời  giữa giới giáo sĩ theo hệ phái Hồi giáo Shia Iran và cộng đồng Shia ở Liban, đặc biệt là ở miền nam Liban. Chẳng hạn, Iran đã cử các thành viên của Vệ binh Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran đến miền Nam Liban. Các giáo sĩ Iran cũng đến đó và bắt đầu tổ chức dần dần các nhóm Shia nhỏ lẻ. Cũng đã có những nhóm Shia nhỏ tồn tại từ trước. Họ hỗ trợ và tài trợ cho các nhóm này. Dần dần, những nhóm này hợp nhất lại và Hezbollah ra đời vào đầu thập niên 1980.» Hai thập niên Israel chiếm đóng miền nam Liban và sự ra đời, lớn mạnh của Hezbollah  Cho dù chế độ Hồi giáo Iran muốn xuất khẩu cách mạng, theo nhiều nhân chứng, Hezbollah sẽ không thể hình thành với hình thức như sau này, nếu không có việc Israel chiếm đóng miền nam Liban với mục tiêu thoạt tiên là để đánh đuổi các lực lượng Palestine lưu vong. Đọc thêm -  Điểm lại lịch sử tranh đấu vì độc lập: Từ "20 năm bị xóa sổ" đến Nhà nước Palestine Nhiều thập niên sau, cựu thủ tướng Israel Ehud Barak thừa nhận: « Khi chúng tôi tiến vào Liban, Hezbollah chưa hề tồn tại. Chúng tôi đã được người Hồi giáo dòng Shia ở miền nam chào đón bằng cơm thơm và hoa. Chính sự hiện diện của chúng tôi tại đó đã tạo ra Hezbollah ». Nhận định trên đây được trích dẫn trong một bài viết của Matthew Levitt, chuyên gia chống khủng bố, từng làm việc cho FBI (Le Hezbollah au Liban : Concilier allégeance à l'Iran, militantisme panchiite et politique intérieure). Hezbollah được thành lập trong thời kỳ hỗn loạn của cuộc Nội chiến Liban (1975–1990), nhưng chính cuộc chiếm đóng kéo dài của Israel tại miền nam Liban là giai đoạn mà Hezbollah nổi lên như một lực lượng chính trị lớn tại Liban, và tổ chức duy nhất được phép duy trì lực lượng vũ trang riêng tại Iran, theo Thỏa thuận Taif năm 1989, chấm dứt nội chiến. Nhà báo Farid Fatemi nhận định: « Vì miền nam Liban bị Israel chiếm đóng, Hezbollah đã tiến hành một cuộc chiến tranh tiêu hao chống lại Israel tại đây. Cuối cùng, sau gần 20 năm chiếm đóng, Israel buộc phải rút quân khỏi miền nam Liban vào năm 2000. Khi Israel rút đi, sự kiện này đã trở thành một chiến thắng vinh quang đối với Hezbollah. Họ tuyên bố: ''Chính chúng tôi đã kháng cự, buộc Israel phải rời đi. Không phải chính phủ Liban, mà là Hezbollah đã kháng cự và đuổi được Israel ra khỏi đất nước.''  Từ đầu những năm 2000, Hezbollah đã xây dựng được uy tín và dần dần trở thành một thể chế ở Liban. Đó không chỉ là một lực lượng quân sự, mà còn là một lực lượng chính trị. » « Trục kháng chiến » : Sức mạnh quân sự của một thành phần chủ chốt Sức mạnh quân sự của Hezbollah không chỉ áp đảo quân đội Liban. Cho đến trước cuộc chiến tranh 2023-2024 với Israel, tổ chức này được coi là sở hữu kho tên lửa từ 100.000 đến 130.000 trái, có thể tấn công mọi vị trí tại Israel, và được xem như có thể tạo ra sức mạnh răn đe đáng kể khiến Israel phải dè chừng (theo nhà nghiên cứu Jean-Loup Samaan). Lực lượng vũ trang của Hezbollah bao gồm khoảng 25.000 tay súng thường trực, cùng với khoảng 20.000 quân dự bị (theo tài liệu tổng hợp của Trường Quân sự Paris, « L'axe de la résistance », l'expansionnisme régional iranien, Trung tâm Tài liệu của Trường Quân sự Paris, 2021). Trên thực tế, theo nhiều nhà quan sát phương Tây, sức mạnh quân sự chủ yếu của Hezbollah nằm ở chỗ lực lượng này được coi là một bộ phận chủ chốt trong số các lực lượng ủy nhiệm của Iran ở nước ngoài, được đặt dưới sự điều hành trực tiếp của lực lượng al-Qods của Vệ binh Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran. Al-Qods với khoảng 15.000 người, là lực lượng điều phối của nhiều nhóm vũ trang từ bờ đông Địa Trung Hải (bao gồm Liban) đến bán đảo Ả Rập, và Afghanistan, Pakistan và khu vực Trung Á, để thực hiện các mục tiêu của Teheran. Đây là liên minh thường được gọi là « Trục Kháng chiến », mà Iran chủ trương để chống lại các tham vọng của Mỹ và Israel. « Wilāyat al-faqīh » và sự thống trị của Iran trong thế giới Hồi giáo Shia Trong liên minh dưới sự chỉ đạo của Iran, học thuyết Velayat-e Faqih dành cho giới giáo sĩ tiếng nói quyết định đã là nguyên tắc cho phép khẳng định sự trung thành của Hezbollah với Giáo chủ tối cao Iran, được xem như người có uy tín tuyệt đối với đông đảo tín đồ Hồi giáo Shia tại Liban. Đây được coi là lý do chính khiến Hezbollah là lực lượng đầu tiên tham chiến chống lại Israel, sau khi Mỹ và Israel tiến hành chiến dịch quân sự hạ sát giáo chủ tối cao Khamenei. Nhà báo Farid Fatemi cho biết : « Học thuyết Velayat-e Faqih đã tái sử dụng khái niệm chống Mỹ và chống « chủ nghĩa Zion », tức chủ nghĩa phục quốc Do Thái, để tăng cường ý thức hệ, đem lại sắc thái tôn giáo cho các tư tưởng này, và giúp các tư tưởng này thâm nhập vào cộng đồng người Shia Liban. Học thuyết này ban đầu mang ý nghĩa thuần túy tôn giáo, nhưng mất dần ý nghĩa tôn giáo sau đó. Để so sánh, điều này cũng tương tự như khái niệm « chuyên chính vô sản », sau đó mất hoàn toàn ý nghĩa và chỉ còn là công cụ để khẳng định chế độ độc tài, như chế độ của Stalin chẳng hạn. Đặc biệt, khi Hiến pháp Iran thêm từ ''tuyệt đối'' vào học thuyết Velayat-e Faqih, điều đó có nghĩa là giáo chủ tối cao có thể làm bất cứ điều gì mà họ muốn. Hezbollah cũng cố gắng làm điều tương tự ở Liban. » Đọc thêm : Vì sao hệ thống quyền lực của chế độ Hồi giáo Iran có khả năng kháng cự cao? Hezbollah bám rễ trong xã hội Liban Học thuyết Velayat-e Faqih và các diễn ngôn Hồi giáo Shia của nhánh 12 imam tử đạo đã được Hezbollah sử dụng hiệu quả trong việc xây dựng một cộng đồng xã hội được tổ chức chặt chẽ tại Liban, khiến cho mọi nỗ lực loại trừ lực lượng này từ phía chính quyền trung ương chắc chắn sẽ dẫn đến nội chiến. Nhà báo Farid Fatemi giải thích: « Hezbollah cũng có một lãnh tụ tôn giáo, người cố gắng trở thành lãnh tụ tối cao. Tuy nhiên, Liban là một quốc gia đa văn hóa với nhiều cộng đồng thiểu số. Vì vậy trên thực tế, Hezbollah chỉ áp dụng học thuyết này trong cộng đồng người Shia ở Liban. Bên ngoài cộng đồng đó, người dân không muốn nghe đến khái niệm kiểu này. Nhưng bên trong cộng đồng Shia, nơi đã có một niềm tin sâu sắc và tâm lý tuân phục đối với giới giáo sĩ, họ đã bổ sung học thuyết này để xác lập một khuôn khổ xã hội mang tính chính trị nhiều hơn, và dĩ nhiên là với mức độ tổ chức cao hơn. Dần dần từ đó mà xây dựng một cấu trúc về mặt hành chính, tài chính và chính trị, sau khi đã khẳng định được sức mạnh về mặt quân sự. Học thuyết Velayat-e Faqih chỉ là một phần của các diễn ngôn của hệ phái Hồi giáo Shia rộng hơn, bao gồm khái niệm về ''thánh chiến'', về ''chiến tranh chống chủ nghĩa Phục quốc Do Thái'', và tinh thần hy sinh tử vì đạo, mà Hezbollah thường xuyên sử dụng. » An ninh miền nam Liban: Những bài học của nửa thế kỉ qua Sự sụp đổ của chế độ Assad  tại Syria, một đồng minh quan trọng của Hamas, và đòn chí mạng đối với Hezbollah cuối năm 2024 dường như đẩy lực lượng vũ trang phi nhà nước hùng hậu này vào thế suy yếu, khó gượng dậy. Tuy nhiên can thiệp quân sự Mỹ - Israel chống Iran, và việc chính quyền Trump phải chấp nhận ký kết một thỏa thuận sơ bộ với Iran, được cho là mang lại nhiều lợi thế cho Teheran, cũng đặt Hezbollah trở lại như một thế lực đối trọng với Israel tại miền nam Liban. An ninh tại vùng biên giới Israel – Liban một lần nữa trở thành yếu tố hàng đầu quyết định sự ổn định tại khu vực Trung Đông. Hiện tại Mỹ và Iran đang đàm phán cho một thỏa thuận hòa bình, nhưng một khi hòa bình chưa trở lại tại miền nam Liban, thì cũng rất khó nói đến hòa bình khu vực. Những đối đầu hiện tại nhắc đến tình hình của nửa thế kỷ trước khi tổ chức Hezbollah hình thành trong bối cảnh Israel chiếm lĩnh miền nam Liban. Những bài học của nửa thế kỉ qua liệu có thể giúp gì cho các giải pháp của ngày hôm nay ?

Send us Fan Mail“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” — Ephesians 4:11-12The fivefold ministry remains alive and well in the modern Church. However, much confusion persists regarding the precise role of the prophet in the New Testament body. God established this office as an enduring function; nowhere in Scripture do we see it removed. Therefore, it is vital for believers to understand the prophet's unique operation, especially regarding how the prophet collaborates with the Pastor—the God-assigned leader of the local congregation.While the spiritual head of a prophetic ministry is an Apostle (appointed by God, not man), the prophet serves as God's chosen messenger and mouthpiece. It is only when a church embraces the full fivefold ministry that the saints are truly perfected, the work of the ministry flourishes, and the body of Christ is fully edified.The Foundation of Prophetic Character: LoveProphets have been used throughout history to relay divine messages, yet the ministry often receives a “bad rap” due to individuals operating out of order. To understand how a prophet should function, we must look to the specific guidelines of 1 Corinthians 13.13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Scripture explicitly states that though a person may possess the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, if they lack charity (love), they are nothing. Love is the non-negotiable foundation of the office. Furthermore, while charity never fails, 1 Corinthians 8-12 reminds us that spiritual gifts are temporary. At the return of Christ, when we experience complete, face-to-face knowledge of God in eternity, the need for prophetic guidance will pass.Until that day, true prophets do not rejoice when their fellow travelers on the “Highway of Holiness” stumble; rather, they find their joy exclusively in the triumph of truth.Because we currently see through a dim glass, prophets must strictly discard any childish inclinations toward self-importance or self-exaltation. For instance, a prophet must not react like an undisciplined child when a delivered word is met with skepticism or is rejected.   A prophetic word is often entirely new to the recipient, who retains the right to either receive or reject it. Time ultimately proves all revelation. Since a true prophet does not seek personal glory, the unbelief of others is irrelevant. The prophet's sole mandate is obedience to God's command to speak. As Romans 3:3 asks:“For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?”The Weight and Cost of the MantleThere is no room for vanity in this office. A prophet must maintain a close relationship to God, constantly evaluating their own life against divine standards. The trials assigned to a prophet are often deeply painful.Consider Hosea, who was commanded to marry a woman of the streets as a living symbol of God's relationship with an unfaithful Israel. He endured public humiliation and was required to personally buy his wife back from brokenness. Even his children bore the prophetic weight, given names meaning “God Scatters,” “No Mercy,” and “Not My People.” Similarly, the book of Jeremiah reveals the immense hostility a prophet may face, detailing narrow escapes from multiple assassination plots. Often, a prophet is instructed to say and do things that run counter to popular opinion. Yet, when God commands it, the prophet must speak—confident that the eternal reward will far outweigh the earthly cost.Discerning the Office from the GiftIt is crucial to distinguish between those who possess prophetic expressions and those who occupy the office of a prophet. Individuals may carry titles such as prophesier, seer, psalmist, or dreamer; while they may be operating prophetically, they do not necessarily bear the prophet's mantle.The Prophesier: 1 Corinthians 14 encourages all saints to desire to prophesy for edification, exhortation, and comfort. However, exercising this gift does not make a believer a prophet.The Seer: The seer perceives things hidden from the natural eye. While this is an ancient term associated with the prophetic, not all prophets operate primarily as seers.The Psalmist: A psalmist—such as King David (who Acts 2:30 explicitly identifies as a prophet)—utilizes rhyme, song, and music to release revelation. Yet not every musical psalmist holds the office of a prophet.The Dreamer: The dreamer receives spiritual insight through dreams. However, dreams can be heavily influenced by personal emotions and psychology, making them the least reliable among subjective indicators.What these distinct operations often lack is the enforcement power and spiritual authority inherent in the prophet's mantle. The office of a prophet is far more than delivering an individual word, speaking in a congregation, or addressing nations. Once fully prepared by God, a prophet is granted significant authority in the spiritual realm, backed by angelic assistance to confirm the spoken word. Like every branch of the fivefold ministry, it is a strictly God-ordained position.Demeanor, Timing, and Divine OrderA prophet's lifestyle requires total dedication to God through fasting, studying Scripture, and maintaining constant communication with Him. This demands complete obedience to God's will, even when it is not fully understood. Furthermore, a true prophet receives supernatural backing to confirm their words. This role cannot be achieved through personal desire or effort; it is an innate calling. Ultimately, a prophet's very life often foreshadows the future. They are not merely messengers, but trailblazers who lead, challenge, and transform the history of God's people.Prophets receive information and directions from God through dreams, visions, and a distinct spiritual “knowing.” They must know His voice intimately, distinguishing it not only from counter-spirits but from their own internal thoughts.Unlike moments when God gives a believer a spontaneous word to prophesy—such as during a church service—He often reveals messages to His prophets well in advance. A prophet may hold onto that word for a season, understanding that obedience requires not only speaking what God commands, but speaking it exactly when He ordains.Ultimately, prophets, like all believers, must be diligent to make their calling and election sure. Only God can call, anoint, and establish a prophet in the divine position assigned to them before birth. A true prophet ensures they are genuinely sent by God, rather than someone who merely “went” out of misguided zeal; the eternal implications are simply too great. As 2 Peter 1:10 (KJV) admonishes:“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.”

Tap here to send us a message!No matter how far a life may seem from God, His mercy is still able to reach into broken places and devise a way to bring restoration and purpose. Failures, inconsistency, and past mistakes do not disqualify what God is able to do, for He specializes in sustaining and transforming lives that seem least likely to change. Every testimony stands as proof that God is still drawing people back to Himself and completing the work that only He can accomplish.05/24/26 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:2 Samuel 14:1-4; 12-14

After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.4 So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.6 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?16 And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.17 He wrote also letters to rail on the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.18 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.21 And the Lord sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.31 Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

After over four months of staying in one place, the Fellstar Pirates are finally back in space, en route to the place where it all began: the planet Doth.

Blood Coming to America (1) (audio) David Eells, 4/26/26 (Note: Parts of this may be a little scary for children. They could at least need encouragement in faith.)    American Flag Bleeds Marie Kelton – End of March 2026 (David's notes in red) While I was at work, I went to the back room in my work area to get something. I saw that someone had stuck an American flag in a box located on top of a shelf so that the flag was just hanging over the floor. I then had an open vision where I saw drops of blood falling from the American flag.   Blood up to the Horse's Bridle Marie Kelton - 4/16/26 As I was driving to work, I had an open vision. My windshield wipers were going, and blood splashed on my windshield, covering it. I saw the following written in the blood: “Blood of the saints.” Then my windshield wipers wiped it off. But blood splashed on my windshield again, and what was written this time was, “Blood of the innocent.” My windshield wipers wiped off again. Then I heard a voice say, “America will burn.” (This is a quote from Dumitru Duduman's revelation. https://www.ubm1.org/?page=dumitru_duduman-5 ) “He said, The Russian spies have discovered where the most powerful nuclear missiles are in America. "It will start with the world calling for 'peace, peace'. Then there will be an internal revolution in America, started by the Communists. Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the oceans, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries (which I cannot remember) will attack! The Russians will bombard the nuclear missile silos in America. America will burn". Then, in the open vision on both sides of me on the highway, I saw that the whole land was covered in blood like a lake. In the vision, I had stopped my car and stepped out of it to look at the scene in shock. In the vision, my hair was its normal color again. The blood reminded me of the verse about it being about as high as the horse's bridle. Rev.14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.   Marie Kelton - 4/19/26 At my work, we have a big American flag in front of the store. After finishing my work for the night, I walked out to my car. I saw the flag blowing in the wind. As I was walking to my car, I looked back at the flag, and I had an open vision. I saw the flag had blood dripping from it, just like it was in the vision of it hanging from the shelf.   Marie Kelton - 4/21/2026 While I was having lunch at work, I had an open vision of the Statue of Liberty. She had a sad look on her face, and she was crying tears of blood. The flame on her torch was a real flame, while the rest of her was a statue. (America will burn)   4-23-2026 During the morning meeting, David asked me to seek the Lord with these questions about the visions: what is the cause of the blood, who did it, and when. After the meeting, I asked the Lord “why” concerning the visions above, and a verse came to mind about broken cisterns that hold no water. Jer.2:13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (They cannot contain the “water of the Word.”) Then I heard the Lord say, He would lessen the judgment if His people would seek Him. Antichrist vision, and World War III vision - April 24, 2026 During worship, I had an open vision of ancient Rome it was an open auditorium with roman pillars around the auditorium The sky was blue with clouds. I saw the back of a Ceaser he had a golden laurel crown on his head. He had a red cape on which is called a paludamentum. The Ceaser was on platform there was a large crowd in front of him. (Representing the anti-christ leadership of a revived Roman Empire.)  I could see the demon in the Ceaser, and I can see the demons in the crowd I heard the crowd say, "Who is like the beast,". The large crowd then came together and turned into a giant ceaser. The sky turned into a night sky with a lot stars in it. I then saw a giant Jesus Christ come and I saw the foot of Jesus step on the giant Ceaser and squish him.    Antichrist vision, and world war III vision I had another open vision, the Lord was sitting next to me and He had a newspaper, it was open to where I could see it. The newspaper page said in bold print World War III is happening soon, then in little letters it said underneath Peace Peace, sudden destruction. The Lord shook the newspaper in his hands as He was holding it open a couple of times. I saw this multiple times. The Lord then folded the news paper and laid it on the floor in a square. The front of the news paper said the Daily News.  (There are several newspapers in the world called The Daily News, one is in New York, another in India, another in Australia,  another South Africa and one Britain etc. ) 1Th 5:3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.   War and Blood on U.S. Hands Michael Boldea, October 2003 Psalm 32:6-7 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found, surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. It was October 11th 2003, and I dreamt I was kneeling by my bedside praying, when I felt a presence behind me. I turned, and a man was standing there, dressed in white, his hands clasped in front of him. It was the same man I had seen in a dream some time earlier. “Why didn't you say something, if you were standing there”, I asked. “I would never interrupt your communion with the Father”, he answered, “it is a precious thing. Take my hand, I must show you something. I took his hand, and suddenly we were standing in front of the US Marine War Memorial. It is a statue depicting a group of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima in World War II. I looked to the man standing on my right, but he pointed toward the statue, and said, “look at the flag”. As I was watching the flag flap in the wind, a red spot appeared in its center, it began to grow, and spread turning the flag red as it went. (Just as Marie's revelation) It was like someone had spilled this red liquid in the flag's center, and absorbing it the stain continued to grow. I watched as the entire flag became saturated until it finally started to drip. To my surprise, I realized the liquid dripping from the flag was blood. “What is this supposed to mean?” I asked the man. “The leaders of this nation have war on their hearts, and on their lips, and soon they will have blood on their hands. The banner of war is upon this land”, the man answered solemnly. Before I could ask anything more, I found myself sitting up in bed in a cold sweat. I shared this dream with a friend that Sunday night, as I happened to be speaking in his church in Topeka. I also shared it with Geno and the rest of the staff here at the Hand of Help office, but in my heart, I had decided not to make it public until after the holidays. The reasons for choosing not to share this until after the New Year are something I choose not to elaborate on at the present time. Then three weeks after this initial dream, I had another. I dreamt the same man was standing by my bedside, but he was no longer dressed in white. Over his robe, he had a breastplate, and as he stood, I could see the handle of a sword protruding from behind his right shoulder. It was the fiercest image I had ever seen in my life, but I was not afraid. Kindness still showed in his eyes, and I knew he meant me no harm. As I looked up at him, the one thing that struck me was that his breastplate was not shiny. For some reason, I had expected it to shine, rather it was dented and scarred, and looked as though it had seen much battle. He looked down at me with what I could only describe as disappointment in his eyes. Before I could speak, he said, “For a vessel to fulfill its task, substance must be poured into it, then that same substance must be poured out. If it is never poured out, it will overflow, being of use to no one. Do you understand?” I nodded halfheartedly, although I knew what he was trying to tell me. “When a vessel is chosen, it is an honor”, he continued, “be faithful in completing your task and share what is given you without delay. Come, I will show you once more. Once again, we stood before the monument, and the same scene played out. “When will this happen?” I asked before he could turn away. “When the Father wills it”, he answered. “His will be done”. “Can't you ask Him?” I asked, realizing only after the words had left my mouth how infantile the question had been. “You speak of things your mind cannot comprehend,” he said. “You speak of time concerning the One to whom centuries are no more than a blink of an eye. Be diligent in what you have been shown, and more will be revealed. All things proceed as He ordains, that is all you are given to know for now”. The dream ended, and I found myself in my bed. I have had some time to contemplate this dream, and if I were one given to speculation, there are many theories I could come up with, but I am not. What I do know is whether, in retaliation for a certain action, or as a preemptive measure, this nation will set out on a course that will eventually be the cause of innocents losing their lives. This nation will be perceived as having blood on its hands, and it will stir the emotions of the world against it. I pray with all my heart this does not occur, that all who are denoting peace and safety for generations to come are right, and I am wrong. Regardless of what some may think, I do not want to see the judgment of God fall on this land, but the path we have chosen as a nation is leading us to it. More than ever, I urge you to pray for this nation. and its leaders, because it is our duty as children of God to do so. May He who ordains all things be with you and guide you, knowing that in Him there is perfect safety, and perfect peace. My heartfelt gratitude and thanks go out to all those who pray for and support this work, being more than certain that your reward will be great indeed. Jonah 3:8-9 “But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away His fierce anger so that we may not perish.”   Earthquake, Slaughter, Economic Destruction  Charlie and Linda Smith - July 2013 (David's notes in red) If the following scenes make you fearful, remember, Pro.11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. Charlie's Dreams What started out to be a beautiful day to travel and visit a nearby city turned out to be a horror story that we both became witnesses to. First Night's Dream As the dream began to unfold, Linda and I were traveling by truck to a city to the north, not far from us. (All of us here know this city, which has a high population of “Christians” but far fewer disciples.) We traveled on a four-lane highway to our destination. Our intention was to buy something we needed, have a meal, and return home. As we came to the city limits and topped a hill, I saw the store to my right and pulled into the parking lot. We must have been early because there were only two or three cars in the parking lot. Our thought was to run in, get what we came for, have a meal and leave. But while at the store, the place trembled and shook. We thought, “QUAKE! We have to leave”. I told Linda, “Hurry, and I'll get the truck”. But I couldn't find where I had parked it. When I finally got to the truck, the dream was ending, and we became separated from one another. It was a fearful feeling. I did not like the dream or the way it was being played out. I woke up full of fear. Second Night The second night, the dream started again. It picked up as I entered town at the store/shopping center. This time, I didn't park in the store parking lot, but decided to park the truck across the highway, behind a hill of dirt in view of the store. Still separated from Linda, I found myself walking and looking around. No one was around. Everything had now changed. Everything was a dirty, dark gray color. (The color of death.) The sky, the land, the town also. It looked like ash from a wood stove. I was looking at what was left of a city. Everything was destroyed. The city was gone, except for a building or two in the distance here and there. The streets were empty -- no cars, no people, nothing, only piles of gray rubble where buildings once stood. Later in the evening, as darkness closed in, I saw people - a family of three or four running through the streets, running and hiding. I believe they were trying to get away from the city or someone in the city because they looked around before they moved again. As I watched, I saw three men of dark complexion and demon-possessed. The demon-possessed men ran upon a woman, her husband, her son, and a small girl, with swords (which were curved) and daggers and took off their heads. (This curved sword is the Muslim scimitar, which is most effective for cutting off heads with one blow. How could such an attack come on a city in darkness in the U.S.? This certainly wouldn't happen with swords in the U.S., where guns are everywhere, right? Notice it is after the earthquakes here that martial law will be used to take guns away and restrain people in their homes or FEMA camps. Many could be killed quietly before this is found out, and it certainly wouldn't make the news in the US today. Most or all of this would be blamed on deaths from earthquakes and fire. Jihadists always target as many Christians and Jews as possible. God Himself has warned the rebellious: Amo.9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us. ...7:17 therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line (by earthquakes, or war, or civil war?); and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land. It is Islam's goal to behead Christians, unless they deny Christ. They are doing this now in places where they can get away with it. Rev.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God.... Many will have to die in this way, or they will not enter the Kingdom. Others, through maturity, will be alive and remain until the coming of the Lord. A few days later, the Lord reminded me of something in the dream: the woman and her child who had escaped. He had to remind me of the timing of the birth, then the escape, because I couldn't remember it. (The Woman, a parable in Revelation 12 of the Church who bears the fruit of Jesus, will escape. Also, the Woman who brings forth the corporate Man-child at this time will escape into the wilderness.) The woman gave birth to her child at the same time Linda and I were at the store/shopping center when we felt the shaking (quake). Later, the woman took the child and escaped (the sword). I thought of the Woman and Man-child escaping the Dragon, as in Revelation 12:4, or escaping Herod the Beast, as in Matthew 2:13. (As we have seen, the Man-child is manifested after the earthquakes begin destroying America.) After all night watching this dream, I asked the Lord, “Lord, is this dream from You, or am I having nightmares?” I said, “I don't want to see anymore. Lord, if the dream is from You, give me a confirmation. Give the same dream to Linda tonight”. And God did. Third Night Again, the dream picked up where it had stopped the night before. More death and destruction everywhere. Then the dream changed. In the distance, I saw a three or four-story building. I quickly arrived there and found myself entering a door into the building. Inside was dark, except for some light that came in through a window. I crossed a large room of the building and came to a staircase going to the top floor. When I arrived at the top floor, before me was a steel double door. As I went in, I found myself in a large, dark conference room with a large round table with a hanging light illuminating the table, where seven men in dark suits were gathered. Six men were sitting around the table, each having a stack of papers before him. One man, the leader or head man, stood before the six men and was speaking. They were going over plans to destroy the economy. Each of the six men was in control of a different part of the economy. They were in disagreement about what was about to happen. The head man who stood over them speaking was enraged because the other six men were complaining, saying, “It won't work”, shaking their stacks of papers before the head man who stood. They were railing back and forth when the head man began to curse and say, “This economy is finished”. He said, “Tomorrow at this time it will be over” (or finished). (Shortly after the earthquakes, the financial ‘powers that be' will bring down the economy in order to control the people and bring in their New World Order.) He cursed again, struck the table with his fist, and said, “Don't worry. Everything will be all right; you will see”. The six men, yet greatly troubled, went along with the plan. The dream ended. The Lord gave Linda and me the same dreams. It's from God. Linda's Dreams First Night I had just gone to bed, closed my eyes, and somehow I just appeared in this dream. Charles and I were in our truck, and he was driving. He drove to a city and found a parking place where we both got out and walked to a building. Charles went inside, so I followed him. I didn't know where I was or why I was there. While we were inside looking around at some things, the building began to shake. It shook for what seemed like 30 or 35 seconds. In my dream, we were trapped in this building. There were other people in this building, about 12 of us in all. A man about 35 years old came up to me and said, “Please come with me; I think I know of a way out”. He grabbed a long rope, and we went up some stairs to the second floor. The man took the rope and tied knots in it almost all the way down the length of it, and then tied it to a steel I-beam and then dropped it out of a hole where a window had been. We went back and told the others, and each one climbed down the rope, and we all were able to get out. Once outside, we could see that most of the buildings of this city were like great heaps of rubble, but a few smaller buildings were badly damaged but were still standing. Then, suddenly, there was a four or five-second aftershock, and everyone scattered. Charles said to me, “Just wait here. I'll go get the truck, and we'll get out of this place”. So I stood there waiting for about three or four minutes. I decided to walk down the same way Charles had gone. When I got to the parking lot, there weren't any cars or anyone there, so I quickly turned and ran back to where I had been waiting. Then I walked 20 feet to the front of the building, looking up and down the street, but saw no one. I walked back and waited. I just stood there, not really knowing what to do, just standing there all alone. It was starting to get dark, and Charles had not returned. Suddenly, I saw a young woman with a little boy about three years old coming down the sidewalk on the other side of the street. She was quickly passing by me. I called out to her, but she turned left at the corner and, crossing the street, she kept on walking. I ran down to the corner to see where she was going. As she got to the end of that block, three men stepped out in front of her. She screamed, and two of the men began to beat her. The other man grabbed her little boy and, with his raised sword, hit the boy on top of his head, cutting him in half all the way down, and I saw his intestines falling out of his little body. I was close enough to see the man's eyes, and they were black as coal. Laughing, he picked up the two halves of the body and carried them away. The other two men, drawing their swords, began to slash the woman numerous times. Both men, each grabbed one of her ankles and dragged her body away. I ran back to the building where I had been waiting for Charles to return. Fear had overtaken me, but seeing the rope still hanging down from where we had escaped from this building earlier, I climbed up, went back in the building, and pulled the rope up so no one else could get in. I was so fearful that my whole body was shaking because what I had just witnessed was so horrifying. I cried out, “Jesus, help me. Fill me with Your peace, Lord”. In the dream, I lay down on the floor to go to sleep, and I woke up from the dream. I did not write down the dream at that time because I just wanted to forget it. Second Night The second dream continued where the first left off: In the dream, I lay down and went right off to sleep. When I woke up, it was late afternoon, and I was lying on the floor in the building. I got up and looked out the hole where a window had been. I wanted so badly to find a way out of this city. I got the rope and climbed down to the sidewalk. I decided to walk 15 blocks down the east side of the city. I walked block after block, counting each one and looking for a road that would take me out of there. At the 15th block, I saw no way out going this way, so I turned around and went back to my starting point. I decided to walk 15 blocks west and check it out. I got to the 15th block, and the sun was setting, and I knew I didn't have much time because I didn't want to be out after dark again. Then I heard voices. I looked in the direction from where I thought the voices were coming. I saw a park-like setting. I looked and saw some people in the park -- a man and a woman with two kids. I walked down a little way and hid behind a large tree. In the far distance, I saw a big fire. Then I saw some of those demonized people surrounding the man, woman, and the two kids. They began screaming and begging, “Don't hurt us, please”. The kids were crying. The demonized men had curved swords, and some of the men began to strip them. The ones with the swords were cutting all their heads off, then arms and legs. Others of them carried the body parts to the fire and threw them on the fire (to destroy the evidence). I slipped away, going back to the building where I had been staying. I ran the first eight blocks as fast as I could. I was getting very tired, so I tried to walk at a fast pace for the next seven blocks. I heard voices behind me saying, “There is another one. Get her. Don't let her get away. Hurry, hurry, she's getting away. Get her”. The voices were louder and getting closer. I ran into a dark alley and hid. Then I heard a scream and slowly looked out of the alley and saw that they had caught a pregnant woman. One of the men took his sword and plunged it into her chest, and cut her all the way down her body, and her baby fell out. I saw the baby's and the woman's bloody bodies mutilated. The men dragged the bodies back toward where the fire was. I woke up from the dream. Again, I did not write down these dreams; I did not want to. I just wanted the dreams to stop. I just wanted to forget all of it.   Mena Lee - 04/05/2013 (David's notes in red) About two nights ago, the Lord gave me a dream where He was speaking directly to me. He said, “Al Qaeda is here in the country”. I responded with, “What?!” The Lord continued, “Al Qaeda is in the country, and Obama knows that they are here”. (This administration has been using Jihadists overseas to fight for his causes. It will be so here, too. Islamic Jihadists have been entering the country through Mexico, disguised as Mexicans who do not speak Spanish. These cells are placed strategically all over the U.S. now. This has been reported for years. This is not about blaming that President, who is a vessel of God's wrath to judge apostate Christianity. God is the one who has pronounced these judgments. So what is the moral of this story? Fight against the government? No. Deal with God, Who works all things after the counsel of His own will. Pro.16:7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Be Holy and be safe.) “They are remaining low-key and not wanting to draw attention to themselves. I will show you where they are hiding”. And with that, the Lord began to show me places throughout the country where they were stationed. I saw small businesses, beauty supply stores, local grocery stores, and small shops. The Lord said, “Tell the people that a war event is coming to the coastline of this country”. And with that, I woke up. Four nights later, He returned to me again with the same thing. The Lord told me to study the book of Zephaniah as a reference on what is to come. He also informed me that the fourth month would be significant. (Please read Zephaniah. How can this be seen as a judgment coming now? Zephaniah is a prophecy of many things that happen almost simultaneously. It is a prophecy of coming judgment on apostate Judah, representing apostate “Spirit-filled” Christianity. Then a warning about the coming Day of the Lord to those who refuse to repent. Also, a demand for repentance so they will be hidden in this time of judgment. Then there is the judgment of their persecutors. Then there is a destruction of Nineveh (the capital of the Assyrian Empire), which I was shown was the U.S. head of the world Beast. [Not to be confused with that ultimate judgment at the end of the tribulation.] Then the corruption of apostate Jerusalem, as a type of the false leadership of God's people. Then the matured remnant of the Bride, who has been purified of all of the above and blessed. Read it and be exhorted to be in the secret place of the Most High, a Psalm 91 Passover of Judgment.) This morning, I asked for a word concerning the date of a factious attack on 4/11, which came to pass, and I looked down on Micah 4:11. This was the Sennacherib scenario in which the Assyrians attacked Jerusalem [in confirmation of the text above]. In this case, the Bride, Jerusalem, is victorious over the enemy army that had conquered the rest of God's people. I believe God is speaking of a spirit army that is using apostates to come against the remnant. This is a spiritual earthquake of sorts. Mic.4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail? 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon: there shalt thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 4:11 And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion. 12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor. 13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. I also received a confirmation: Zec.12:8 In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. I also received: Isa.28:22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth. (Earthquakes and WWIII.F 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 24 Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he [continually] open and harrow his ground? Meaning God is almost through breaking up the fallow ground of His remnant; He is ready to plant.   Linda L. Gray - 08/29/2014 I just finished listening to UBM's Wednesday's (8/27/14) audio file while at my mom's house for my caregiving responsibilities. The topic of the evening was the violence of the ISIS/Islamic movement and the possibility of another incident happening on a large scale within our country. In the early morning hours of Friday, August 22nd, I had the following dream: In the dream, I was alone in my home. It was daytime, and the sun was shining. My front door was open so fresh air could come into the house. I walked over to one of my windows facing the front of the house (it faces the east). Standing in the distance, I could see a line of men dressed in black clothing (similar to ISIS photos). In front of the black-dressed men was a large pit. Inside the pit were bundles of packaged newspapers (like you see prior to delivery to a news stand). While looking at this strange sight, the newspapers suddenly exploded up into the air. Discerning that these individuals and the situation were dangerous and threatening, I went over to my front door to close and secure it. Upon reaching the door, a demonic-type figure was standing outside. I quickly shut the door and locked it. Whatever or whoever the entity was, they were not permitted to come inside my home. The door was wide open. After securing the door, I picked up my pet parrot and proceeded to go to the “secret place” (Psalm 91). Isa.26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. End of dream. Additional notes: As a note in history, western Pennsylvania was involved in the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. In designated homes, secret rooms were built to house individuals running away from slave owners. Another reference would be what the family of Corrie ten Boom did in preparing their home to hide Jewish people from the Nazis in (The Hiding Place). Could all the coming bloodletting have anything to do with America reaping what it has sown with millions of slaughtered babies and constant wars? Here is a portion of Dana Coverstone's Dream on 5/19/23   Let Me Show You Something (David's notes in red) ….Then he (the Lord) said to me, “There's more to see.” Suddenly, I'm on the southern border. I saw an enormous line of volcanoes that seemed to have sprung up overnight. They covered from the western point of California all the way to Texas. Literally, these were volcanoes on the border. (Hell's demons coming out of hell upon the earth to use the wicked enemies. Rev.9:2-3 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.) They were very tall; they shadowed the ground. And I cannot emphasize this enough. These volcanoes on the border were (shooting) hundreds of miles up into the air. The ground was shaking, seemingly creaking, and the volcanoes trembled, and they started erupting magma and lava. And then suddenly the entire border shook, and I saw the volcanoes appear to grow, and the ground below them looked like it was torn. It was like, how a tree that gets knocked over in the wind or damaged by a tornado, there was an area of the earth that opens up at the base of the tree trunk. So the volcanoes tip backwards, they're still spewing lava and all these other things. (Hell on earth) But there was a hole where the volcanoes came up along the entire southern border. (This is a demonic empowered invasion over the southern U.S. border.) At that moment all sorts of people dressed like normal migrants came running out, and they were sprinting. (This would be in addition to those who have already come across the border and those anarchists and radical Muslims already inside the US. And the left-wing military faction. It has been reported that millions of migrants are below the border waiting, and many are military-age men, and also, there are many Chinese Communists there to support their DS. MS-13 has been an arm of the DS military too.) They were running as hard and as fast as they possibly could to get into the country. As they ran, they were taking off backpacks, and they were pulling out weapons, and they were putting them together. They were unfolding them, and they were pulling them out. They were putting clips in, but they're doing it as they were running. The people on the American side were watching the eruptions, watching the magma and the lava and the smoke and the ash cloud, and they didn't even notice the people who were running towards them. They pointed to the sky and acting as if they were watching fireworks, they were just, like, “Oh wow! Look at that.” And they are pointing over there, and over here and saying things like, “Look at that!” They were looking up, and they did not see any of the people who were rushing towards them. (Because of enemy distractions.) And now they were running up and they were shooting. They were teaming up on people, they were storming properties, but they took nothing. When they went into the buildings and the houses, they took nothing; they just shot and killed the people. They sprinted on and they were moving with skilled intent and military precision. They would come together to a house, they would go in, and you would see gunfire; they would run out, not taking a thing. They were brutal. They showed no mercy. And some carried samurai swords, and they were beheading many people along the way. I saw death and destruction. I saw danger. I saw chaos on the border and it was rushing towards us. It was rushing north. This was on purpose, a “dismantling,” and this was also on purpose, a “distraction”.  Back in Times Square, the broadcaster was informing citizens that spectacular eruptions on the southern border were getting people out of their homes to watch. (The DS MSM involved again to cover up) They were saying, “Hey, folks, you need to go out of your homes and watch these incredible magma fields and watch these incredible volcanic eruptions that are going on. Go outside and watch.” He said, “If you live within 100 miles of the border, you need to go outside immediately and see if you can see them from where you are.” (On foot, they could not go very far without stealing vehicles from their victims. Maybe 100 miles before they were dispersed enough it would be hard to make war on them.) And I said to the man (the Lord) that the newsman is trying to get people outside so they will be killed, and the man nodded. And then he said, “There's more.” Suddenly, we're standing outside the Capitol of Washington, DC. Then I could hear all kinds of noise going on inside the Capitol building. And someone yelling with a bullhorn. But these people are talking about taking the country back (Democrats will join the Communist Chinese and the Islamics like they are now. Obviously they plan to take the country back from the Alliance and Trump) and making people listen. (This fits with their M.O. They can't win by vote.) There were screams that seemed very demonic and just wild coming out of humans. It was like growls and screams and cries. Demonic, almost like banshees. And there was a fence outside the Capitol building. They surrounded it. But suddenly, the police and military came, and they tied ropes, making loops and threw them up on the tops of the fence, like a noose. They were pulling the fences down with all their might. They bent the fences over. (We have been told that military tribunals are being held there at this time. Hence the fence.) And then just as suddenly, the doors of the Capitol pushed open and the congressmen, congresswomen, senators, faces of people I recognized, people who are in power, leadership, elected officials at the federal level. (Satanists, the head of the dragon, devouring the people.) They all came rushing out into the streets, and they were jumping and leaping and stepping over those fences. (This could just symbolize that the leftist DC leadership, some under investigation, will escape and will join and be behind this invasion against the people. As far as I know, they have not met in the Capitol anymore.) And they were armed with guns and clubs. And they began attacking and beating any citizen who was close. (Symbolizing their abuse of the people.) They left this extremely bloody trail. And they pursued people until the people became so exhausted that they dropped from exhaustion, and then they beat them to death. I watched elected officials beat these people to death. (Now I do not think this is what's going to (physically) happen. I think the whole point of it is these people are the ones that make the laws.) This is horrific because they were beating people to death in the streets, and it was getting darker. (Through more demon possession and death.) It was horrific to the point I said to the man, “Why are our elected officials doing this to the people?” Well, this time he didn't move, he didn't nod, he didn't move his head at all, but he said, “There's more to see.” And it suddenly became very, very quiet. (Folks, we now have laws that are changing and shifting, we have people who believe that men can be pregnant, that men can be women, that women can be men, and everything else. And we absolutely know better. We're starting to see culture believe every single lie that's being pushed out there, and then we have new laws being passed to protect those lies. Think about that.) The Congress began to beat these people to death. They were attacking ordinary citizens. I saw families taking pictures outside the capital who were just pummeled and beaten, and the elected officials who were running were covered in blood from the people that they had beaten to death. (Meaning they are guilty of the blood of the people.) And they just kept on going, looking for somebody else to attack and beat on. The man didn't move his head when I said, “Why are elected officials doing this to the people?” He didn't move his head at all. He just simply said, “There's more to see.” (Well, obviously, we know the government is corrupt, and they are compromised, everything it is and was and it's going to be. It's not to be trusted, it's not going to be a help to us at all.) (And the Alliance has gathered all their crimes to prosecute and, in many cases, execute them as is going on now. So, they are desperately trying to save their lawless lives.)   AMERICA The Bison with Two Heads REPENT NOW!!! Daniel Masika - 7/9/25 (David's notes in red) Vision: I saw a pregnant wolf coming out of the desert, and it was ready to deliver, for her time was due. The wolf was hungry for blood and fresh flesh. It looked somewhat like a bear, but no, it was the wolf. The wolf had tears in its eyes, as if on a mission of revenge.  The wolf had two colors: gray and yellow-brown, and stars upon its head. It was a desert wolf, but it crossed mountains and seas covered in snow and arrived in the land of the bison and the bald eagle. (power) I saw one huge bison with two heads: the head of an eagle and the head of a bison. The wolf captured the two-headed bison by the neck, and the bison surrendered without a battle. The wolf drank its blood. The wolf acted like a vampire, carrying a virus, and now the blood of the bison was mixed with the wolf's.  Then the wolf delivered 24 babies; half bison, half wolf. She did not die but was wounded in the neck, while her teeth remained fastened in the throat of the bison. Whenever the wolf turned, the bison turned, for the wolf controlled it. The bison's freedom was taken away, and it was in great pain. It cried out for help, but none came to its rescue. I looked to the east, and when I turned, I saw moving fire like a whirlwind. The fire looked as if it were being carried on wheels of gold. A voice came out of the fire, saying: “The bison with two heads is the nation of the United States of America. The wolf is her enemy (This is Islam), the one she did not destroy when she had the strength.  Now she will cry, for she will be forced to bow and follow the rules and laws of the wolf.  The seed of the bison's freedom will be taken away.  The bison will suffer and long for her freedom, but her tears will become her meat and water, for her walls of protection will be broken. (The Democrats invaded this country for this purpose.) The bison is dancing with her enemy. The bison lies in bed with the ravenous wolf. Unless the bison uproots now the seed and agenda of the wolf, there will be no time. Unless the bison builds her defense now, there will be no time. Unless the bison tears down and destroys the works of the wolf now in her land, she will suffer adversaries and judgment. For the pain of the wolf will be greater than that of the scorpion. Repent and turn, bison. Daniel, go stand on the tower and declare this vision.” As I was coming out of the vision, I heard a loud voice saying:  “We want Sharia Law!”    Sharia Law in America Mena Lee Jones, 11/21/2013 Last week I had a dream. In this dream, I walked into a convenience store with my mother. The store was small, as any convenience store would be. I walked up and down each aisle, browsing the items on the shelves. I noticed that at the end of one aisle, there was a stand with homemade honey. They were in small jars and had handwritten labels on them. I walked over to the stand and saw that at the top, it had a sign made out of cardboard. On this sign, it said, “Support Islam.” At this point, a Middle Eastern man with his wife and two sons walked into the store. I could tell they were Muslim by the clothes the wife was wearing. The peculiar thing was that the two boys (who looked to be around the ages of four and eight), had on kippahs (or yarmulke. For those who do not know, these are the little caps that the Jewish men wear). The father spoke and said to his sons, “Allah requires us to be pure and live holy. We must make sure we are following his rules and living holy.” But all the while he was saying this, the man kept looking over at my breast. I was paying attention to this, and when I would look over at him to make eye contact, he would quickly turn his face to the side as if he was avoiding something despicable. Next, I looked over towards the cashier who was running the store. He looked to be Middle Eastern as well. On the front of the cash register, there was another cardboard sign; it said “Sharia Law.” At this point, I was on the opposite side of the aisle as the man with his family. I blurted out, “Allah is Satan! Mohammed is in hell! Jesus Christ is the only answer!” Everyone was quiet. Finally, the man at the cash register broke the silence. “No one disrespects the holy prophet!” he exclaimed. But I repeated what I said the first time. I looked around the small store and noticed that my mother had left. When I looked towards the door, I saw a mob of men bust through the door. They all had leather whips in their hands. They were coming for me!  The funny thing was, I quickly walked down the aisle and went straight for the door. I walked right through the crowd without them laying a single finger on me. It was as though I was invisible. I thought about the times when Jesus would slip through the angry crowds after he spoke. I found myself outside on the street. I looked ahead and saw my mother walking. I paced myself to catch up with her, but I only got close enough to speak. “Mom, why did you leave?” I asked. “They were going to beat you,” she responded. “But you are safe now.” The strange thing was that she never turned around to look at me; she just kept walking. I noticed the white, almost iridescent dress she was wearing. It glowed softly, like a guide for me. I started looking around the area where I was. That's when I noticed these dog-like creatures roaming the streets. They were black with cat eyes, and seemed to be disappearing and then reappearing in different places. They were evil spirits! I looked up at a billboard. I saw the face of the president on it. Next to his face was a caption that said, “Support Sharia Law.” I stopped. I looked up to the sky and said, “Lord, what are you showing me? Where am I?” At that moment, I saw the top of a familiar building. It was the Empire State Building! I then knew I was in New York. My dream ended.  Saints, roughly two years ago, I had a couple of similar dreams to this one. They involved me being in the midst of Muslims and calling out the name of Jesus as the One true God. In one dream, I even prayed for several Muslim women, and through their healing, they accepted Christ as their Savior. The Lord has let me know that Islam will increase in this nation at a rapid rate. This is in preparation for the beast to come forth. We know that “Chrislam” (the marriage of Christianity and Islam) is on the rise today. We have a pope who is admired by the Muslim people and is pushing the idea of “peace” between the two religions. We have a commander in chief (Barack Obama in 2013) that is a Muslim at heart. (By his own confession to Islamic leaders.) This deceptive spirit is being lorded over our nation. And between that and the continuous increase of immorality and wickedness in this nation, we will see the persecution of Christians just before the Rapture. I want you all to be prepared and stand strong. We must know that as it began, it will end.  We are reverting back to the times of the first-century church. It was a time when the true believers were meeting in homes and secret places, a time when being a Christian was hostile. But remember that our brothers, the Apostles, continued to spread the gospel, no matter what the cost. So we, too, must be bold and confident in Christ. Know your authority (The Word), put on your armor, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Let us be encouraged, and therefore encourage one another. The finish line is in sight. Our Bridegroom is coming!   The Assassination of President Trump, Muslim Jihad  Jenni Haan, 8/26/2017 (David's notes in red)  I just woke up from a very disturbing dream. In my dream, my family and I were camping in northern Wisconsin. My husband had taken the kids into town to go to church. I stayed behind at the campground to get everything packed up because it was Sunday, and it was time to go home. I was in my tent packing up suitcases and sleeping bags, and I was just about finished when all of a sudden, I heard the announcer on the radio interrupt the song to come on air and say that the President had been shot by a Muslim radical while he was attending a church service. His voice sounded so sobering, as if he couldn't believe what he was announcing himself. He went on to say that they were able to get close to the President because the Muslims were pretending to be Christians in order to get into churches. The President thought they were people of peace. (Maybe back in 2017 but he knows better now.) Then the announcer's voice went from distressed to hopeless. He was getting more reports of Muslims opening fire, saying that their holy war had started, and it was every man for himself. The triggering event was the assassination of President Trump. Once that happened, every radical Muslim around the world opened fire wherever they were. (The DS, communists, democrats, Islamists, all want to kill Trump and they are not shy about working together to do this. Could this be why there are different assassination dreams about who done it? Also, some of these scenarios may have been prayed down and another not so.) I was scrambling in my tent looking for my 9 mil, and I realized I had just thrown it in my car. All of a sudden, through the door in my tent, I could see that there was a family of Muslims that was starting to open fire with assault rifles, shooting towards my direction. I knew I needed to get to my car, and that is when I woke myself up because my heart was pounding so fast. When I woke up, my adrenaline was pumping because it seemed so real. Northern Wisconsin gets pretty cold quickly, but we were still camping in the fall. The leaves had not quite started changing colors, but the air was very crisp that Sunday morning.   War Brings Death, Destruction, Ruins McKana - 03/07/26 (David's notes in red) Psalm 103:19 (KJV) The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Psalm 145:13 (KJV) Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.  We know the Kingdom of Heaven governs heaven and earth and everything in it forever. God is the ultimate authority. There is nothing impossible for God. Nothing happens without the Lord allowing it, and everything He allows has a purpose. Judgment has started to fall to test the faith of all and bring redemption. The Kingdom of Heaven is coming, but first the earth must be cleansed of evil and corruption. All global governments pursue power, money, and territory. Which government in the world serves the Lord? The word of the Lord is trustworthy. The Lord speaks and it is done.  In a previous message, the Lord said, “This Iran deal will lead to world war.” (Spoken in 3-7-26)  And in reality, the war we have long warned about has begun with its consequences. On the morning of March 3 at 6:00 AM, the Lord said, “Iran war will ruin America.”  The Lord has order and sequence in what He does. He has been teaching and preparing His children for what is coming. Everything happening now was foretold centuries ago and revealed again in our time.  Before the start of the war in Iran, I asked the Lord a question about the sequence of events. I asked whether the great shaking would happen before or after Elam. Soon after, the Lord answered: “After.”  The great shaking will happen after the war in Elam. Elam is modern-day Iran.  The war in Iran will soon be followed by a global earthquake, and after the great quake, events will rapidly move toward world war. What This War Will Bring: Mass death and destruction Economic calamities affecting oil prices, trade, groceries, and commodities Depletion of military resources and strain on everyday life Global powers stretched thin and weakened Internal political conflicts and division A divided nation — “A house divided cannot stand.” Internal and external conflicts leading toward collapse Breakdown of diplomacy and mass evacuations Encouragement for other global powers to advance their ambitions  Global Tensions  China over Taiwan China over Japan China over the South China Sea China over Australia China over the West North Korea against South Korea Russia against Ukraine, Europe, and Eurasia Russia against the West Global terrorism Religious friction between Christianity and Islam Step by step, this war will lead to the collapse of governmental systems, anarchy, and world war.  Yes, the bear, the dragon, the serpent, and the scorpion — even fallen angels, called “aliens” — are moving as the end approaches.  Final Warning  Make your last preparations and wait for the Lord. Endure to the end. Repent, Repent, Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.  Jeremiah 49:34-38 (KJV) 34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam…    George Washington Saw America Invaded (David's notes in red) I felt the Lord impressed me that George Washington's vision of an invasion from the East was happening with Islamists coming into the US both with permission and illegally. The full vision Washington saw two future wars fought on US soil that were fulfilled: the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. This, of course, gives credibility to the rest of the vision. In the last part of the vision, concerning these end times below, the third invasion appears to have come, and its resulting war comes soon after. Here is George Washington's Vision of the Third and Most Fearful Peril: “Again, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. At this, the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa”. (God is bringing a Jihadist Invasion from these continents to make war, especially against the Christians and Jews.) “Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one, and throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud, and I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up”. (A prophet friend in Florida shared a vision he had with me many years ago. He said, 'The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have eight million Muslims in America, and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, they will burn America to the ground. I saw Muslim women coming into America and in their inner body parts, vials of anthrax and bio chemicals. I saw 180 million Americans die in a 72-hour period. He also spoke of many people being butchered, as we also have seen in dreams.) I believe the third war Washington saw has started with the Islamic Jihadist invasion into the US from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the purpose of making war on the people and making this a Muslim nation. This video by Avi Lipkin from March 26, 2015, speaks of Muslim radio stations repeating the Saudi demand to make America a Muslim nation. The plan is to bring tens of millions of Muslims into the United States. In this video, it is also mentioned that the plot to destroy Israel and Iran involves using them against each other. The elite are cornered as investigations leak out their crimes, and the Lord has told us they are going to come out fighting with an attack on America soon. The globalist elite have tried to keep the border open to bring in their troops who are joining with the Islamics (and communists) here who are practicing for a jihad. ISIS has flooded into the country with Hamas. Antifa is getting weapons, too. A large rebellion is about to begin. They are also going to spray chemicals and biologicals from the sky, as they have to a lesser extent already been doing. They own the pharmaceutical companies, and they don't make money on healthy people. The chemtrail fleet was built by these monsters. They all claim the population is unsustainable and want to bring it down to a fraction of what it is. Unscreened Muslims are flooding into the US with government permission. Many do not understand the sovereignty of God, Who works ALL things after the counsel of His own will and works ALL things together for the good of those who love Him and even for the good of those who will love Him when they get the fear of the Lord. Many do not understand when I say God ordained chastening the rebellious Church to bring many to repentance through the fear of the Lord. Without this, many would not bear fruit and be saved. He will bring more to repentance than all the lukewarm preachers could ever do. ISIS is in the US by their own admission and planning attacks. ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other Islamic Jihadists are here to make war. Under Obama, a woman witnessed that large buses with whited-out windows were coming over the border with Homeland Security and its logo on the side of them. She decided to speak to one of the drivers at a stop, who told her he was transporting Muslims to cities in the US. ISIS claims it can smuggle nuclear weapons through Nigeria and Mexico into the United States. Nazi Germany's Night of the Long Knives took place in the timeframe of Jade Helm. The Night of the Long Knives (German: Nacht der langen Messer (help·info), sometimes called Operation Hummingbird or, in Germany, the Röhm Putsch, was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political murders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives_(1934) Consider my prophet friend's statement from years ago: “We have eight million Muslims in America and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, eight million Muslims will burn America to the ground”. Not so shocking that Egypt has accused Turkey of providing Turkish Passports to members of ISIS, the Islamic State, to facilitate the travel of fighters across the region. Seems the Turkish leadership and the DS leadership may be in agreement to rid the world of Christians and Jews. You who are truly righteous, trust in our God. Remember the three Hebrews. Is this the coming World War 3 we have been expecting to bring in the New World Order tribulation? Back to Washington's vision: “As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of the swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' Where the voice had ceased, the dark, shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast.” (It is apparent that at this time enough repentance is given to America that God says, “Enough”.) Heaven Intervenes “Instantly, a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment, the angel upon whose head was still showing the word 'Union' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America who I perceived were well-nigh overcome but who, immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle”. (We were told here that 'the inhabitants of America' were warring with the invaders. I prayed about this and felt the Lord tell me, ‘When the Christians fear God and start being a witness of true Christianity, the inhabitants of America will begin to listen and be given victory by the Lord.' I remember when I was a young Christian, and the non-Christians would ask forgiveness when they said bad words or did bad things around you. There was a respect for the Christians and their God. But now that Christianity has sunk so low, this respect is not there. Is it any wonder that God would send chastening before it's too late? These 'inhabitants of America', even though they war with flesh and blood, can have that conscience again through a good witness from us.) “Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel, for the last time, dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly, the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious”. (Notice the armies, plural, were fighting with the Americans.) “Then once more I beheld the villages, towns, and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice, 'While the stars remain and the heaven send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the UNION last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'Union', he placed it upon the standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen.'“ Interpretation “The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the republic. The most fearful for her is the third, but the whole world united shall not prevail against her. (Notice the world Beast, will wage war against her and after chastening her lose.) Let every child of the republic learn to live for his God, his land, and UNION'. Rom.12:18 If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. With these words, the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United States. “Such, my friends”, the venerable narrator concluded, “were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them.” (American Christians repent and turn to the Word that doesn't change quickly to receive mercy and grace from God.)

Một báo cáo mới của Ủy ban Nhân quyền nhấn mạnh những tác động tàn khốc của nạn phân biệt đối xử đối với các cộng đồng ở Úc - nhắm vào cộng đồng người Do Thái, Hồi giáo, Palestine, Ả Rập và Israel - kể từ các vụ tấn công ngày 7 tháng 10 năm 2023. Chính phủ liên bang đang phải đối mặt với những lời kêu gọi khẩn cấp thực hiện Khung Chống Phân biệt chủng tộc Quốc gia - mà họ đã có quyền tiếp cận gần hai năm nay - để chống lại nạn phân biệt chủng tộc.

17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

John talks about First Lady Melania Trump who held a press conference to address the commonly held and evidence-backed belief she and her husband were close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He also discusses the complete confusion over shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz - despite Donald Trump's magic ceasefire. Even a fully re-opened and peaceful strait would take weeks, even months, to clear the huge traffic jam. Next, he speaks with Anne Lamott who's the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Help, Thanks, Wow, Dusk, Night, Dawn, Traveling Mercies, and Bird by Bird, as well as seven novels. And, Neal Allen who's a writer, spiritual coach, and speaker. He is the author of Shapes of Truth and Better Days. A former journalist and corporate executive, he holds master's degrees in Political Science and Eastern Classics. Together these 2 writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, your speech, or your script. And winding it up, John welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and who served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement. They talk about the Pope's condemnation of Trump and the unholy Iranian War.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many textbooks tell young people today that birds are modified reptiles. Suppose, they say, that millions of years ago the scales on some reptiles began to fray along the edges. In time, they say, the frayed scales turned into feathers and birds were born.The elegance and beauty of the feather make this story hard to believe. Can sticking a feather on a lizard produce a peacock? The bird's feather is only a small part of the complete flying system of the bird. Even with very careful planning and redesigning, a reptile doesn't have what it takes.A bird needs massive breast muscles for flight. In some birds, 30% of the body weight of the bird is breast muscle. By comparison, in humans, breast muscles are only about 1% of body weight. A bird also needs an extremely high metabolism and blood pressure to deliver the energy those muscles need for flight. Birds have a higher metabolism than any other creature; they also have the necessary high blood pressure. Finally, as is well known, birds need light skeletons. The man-o'-war has a wingspan of seven feet. But its entire skeleton weighs only a few ounces—less than its feathers!Even the most clever rebuilding of a reptile cannot produce a bird. In fact, birds have very little in common with reptiles. The entire being of the bird, from body to brain, has been specially designed for flight by a Creator who clearly knows everything there is to know about flight.Job 39:26“Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?”Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, the beauty, grace, and huge variety of birds You have created are some of the most beautiful creatures on earth. As I thank You for them, fill me with new wonder over the wonderful work of Your hands. Amen.REF.: Vandeman, George. The miracle of flight.

Bốn xe cứu thương thuộc tổ chức cộng đồng Do Thái tại London vừa bị thiêu rụi trong một vụ tấn công đốt phá gây sốc. Thủ tướng Keir Starmer kịch liệt lên án hành vi thù hận này, khẳng định chủ nghĩa bài Do Thái không có chỗ đứng trong xã hội. Vụ việc xảy ra tại khu phố Golders Green, khiến nhiều bình khí nổ tung và hư hại nhà dân lân cận. Trong bối cảnh căng thẳng leo thang toàn cầu, cảnh sát đang khẩn trương truy tìm các nghi phạm để ngăn chặn làn sóng bạo lực.

Xăng dầu tăng giá là hệ quả rõ nhất có thể thấy ở Việt Nam do chiến tranh Trung Đông. Tình hình xung đột kéo dài và nguy cơ gián đoạn tại eo biển Hormuz đặt Việt Nam trước nhiều thách thức kinh tế và thương mại. Chi phí sản xuất và vận tải đội giá, ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến các ngành công nghiệp quan trọng. Chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu bị gián đoạn, nguyên liệu nhập khẩu trở nên khan hiếm. Những biến động này làm giảm tính cạnh tranh của hàng Việt tại các thị trường trọng điểm như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, Hoa Kỳ. Nền kinh tế toàn cầu xấu đi cũng không phải là dấu hiệu tốt cho Việt Nam vì một phần lớn tăng trưởng dựa vào xuất khẩu. Chi phí gia tăng còn có nguy cơ đẩy lạm phát lên cao. Tất cả những thách này đòi hỏi Việt Nam cần có những giải pháp ứng phó nhanh và hiệu quả. Trên đây là một số nhận định của nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, giảng viên tại Đại học Công giáo Lyon (UCLy) chuyên ngành khoa học chính trị, thành viên của Viện Đông Á tại Trường Sư phạm Lyon (ENS de Lyon), khi trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 12/03/2026. RFI : Cuộc chiến bùng nổ ở Trung Đông đang gây ra những ảnh hưởng sâu rộng đến nhiều lĩnh vực và hầu hết các quốc gia trên thế giới, trong đó có Việt Nam. Trung Đông có vai trò như thế nào trong quan hệ kinh tế và thương mại của Việt Nam hiện nay ? Laurent Gédéon : Kim ngạch thương mại giữa Việt Nam và Trung Đông còn khá hạn chế, với xuất khẩu sang khu vực này chiếm chưa đến 3% tổng kim ngạch. So với Mỹ, Trung Quốc hay Liên Hiệp Châu Âu thì Trung Đông vẫn là thị trường nhỏ hơn, nhưng vẫn được xem là một thị trường chiến lược tiềm năng đối với Việt Nam vì một số lý do. Thứ nhất, về xuất khẩu, Trung Đông là thị trường tiêu thụ nhiều hàng hóa của Việt Nam như điện thoại, linh kiện điện tử, dệt may và đồ nội thất. Khu vực này cũng nhập khẩu nhiều nông sản và thủy sản của Việt Nam do phụ thuộc vào nguồn thực phẩm bên ngoài. Do đó, gạo, cà phê, tiêu, hạt điều, cũng như tôm và các loại hải sản khác của Việt Nam cũng tìm được thị trường đầy triển vọng. Ngoài ra, thị trường thực phẩm “halal”, ít được biết đến nhưng đang phát triển mạnh và có thể đạt 5.000 tỷ đô la vào năm 2030, trở thành lĩnh vực chiến lược mà Việt Nam hướng tới để đáp ứng nhu cầu của các nước Hồi Giáo. Về nhập khẩu, Việt Nam chủ yếu nhập năng lượng từ Trung Đông, đặc biệt là dầu mỏ, sản phẩm từ dầu, khí tự nhiên hóa lỏng và nguyên liệu hóa học. Ngoài ra còn có kim loại và nguyên liệu thô phục vụ công nghiệp. Những nguồn này rất quan trọng đối với ngành công nghiệp và hệ thống năng lượng của Việt Nam. Về mặt này, Trung Đông đóng vai trò then chốt đối với Việt Nam với tư cách là nhà cung cấp năng lượng và công nghiệp. Đọc thêmMối quan hệ truyền thống khiến Việt Nam khó xử trong xung đột Israel-Hamas Đối với các nước vùng Vịnh, Việt Nam đã triển khai chiến lược đầu tư từ nhiều năm qua thông qua các hiệp định thương mại song phương. Tiêu biểu là Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện (CEPA) ký ngày 28/10/2024 tại Dubai với Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống, nhằm xóa bỏ hầu hết thuế quan, thúc đẩy đầu tư và tăng cường thương mại song phương. Nhìn chung, có thể nói rằng Trung Đông là đòn bẩy quan trọng giúp Việt Nam đa dạng hóa thương mại và nguồn năng lượng, giảm phụ thuộc vào một số đối tác lớn như Trung Quốc và Hoa Kỳ. RFI : Căng thẳng hoặc xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể ảnh hưởng đến mức độ nào đối với một số thị trường xuất khẩu quan trọng của Việt Nam, như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hoặc Hoa Kỳ, cũng như các nước vùng Vịnh và Israel ? Laurent Gédéon : Xung đột ở Trung Đông có khả năng tác động đến thị trường xuất khẩu của Việt Nam theo nhiều cách. Thứ nhất, xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể làm giá năng lượng tăng cao vì đây là một trong những khu vực sản xuất dầu khí hàng đầu thế giới. Nếu xung đột kéo dài, sản xuất và vận chuyển hydrocarbon sẽ bị ảnh hưởng. Giá dầu khí tăng khiến chi phí vận tải biển và hàng không tăng, kéo theo chi phí sản xuất tại Việt Nam cao hơn, đặc biệt trong các ngành công nghiệp, dệt may, điện tử và vận tải. Khi giá sản phẩm tăng, hàng Việt Nam sẽ kém cạnh tranh hơn tại các thị trường trọng điểm, cụ thể là Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Mỹ - hai thị trường xuất khẩu chính (chiếm gần 40%) đối với hàng chế tạo của Việt Nam. Đọc thêmViệt Nam hợp tác dầu khí với Ả Rập Xê Út Yếu tố thứ hai là nhiều tuyến thương mại chiến lược sẽ bị gián đoạn nếu xung đột dẫn đến bất ổn kéo dài ở hai khu vực hàng hải nhạy cảm là Vịnh Ba Tư và phía bắc Ấn Độ Dương, cùng với việc eo biển Hormuz bị đóng một phần hoặc toàn bộ. Tình hình thậm chí có thể nghiêm trọng hơn nếu lực lượng Houthi ở Yemen cũng tham gia vào cuộc xung đột và siết chặt phong tỏa ở eo biển Bab-el-Mandeb để giảm bớt áp lực cho Iran. Cho dù hiện nay lực lượng Houthi giữ thái độ thận trọng nhưng vẫn không thể loại trừ một kịch bản như vậy, bởi vì thủ lĩnh Abdul-Malik al-Houthi đã tuyên bố trên truyền hình ngày 05/03 rằng lực lượng Houthi sẵn sàng tấn công bất cứ lúc nào. Trong bối cảnh bất ổn như vậy, tàu thuyền sẽ phải tránh các vùng biển nguy hiểm, điều này sẽ làm tăng thời gian vận chuyển và chi phí logistic. Trong trường hợp đó, Việt Nam sẽ gặp khó khăn, vì chuỗi giá trị xuất khẩu của Việt Nam phụ thuộc rất nhiều vào các tuyến hàng hải nối các trung tâm sản xuất châu Á với các thị trường lớn ở châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ. Bất kỳ sự gián đoạn nào đối với các tuyến đường này đều có thể dẫn đến việc tăng chi phí và chậm trễ giao hàng. Cuối cùng, yếu tố thứ ba liên quan đến kinh tế toàn cầu. Căng thẳng ở Trung Đông có thể gây bất ổn kinh tế chung, đặc biệt là việc nhà đầu tư rút vốn và các nước phân bổ lại ngân sách tập trung cho quốc phòng. Điều này có thể làm suy yếu kinh tế của các đối tác thương mại của Việt Nam, đặc biệt ở Trung Đông, từ đó giảm nhu cầu nhập khẩu. Nếu xung đột kéo dài hoặc leo thang, tác động tương tự cũng có thể lan sang châu Âu và Mỹ, hai thị trường xuất khẩu quan trọng của Việt Nam. Đọc thêmPetroVietnam sẽ đầu tư 1,2 tỷ đô la vào một mỏ dầu tại Iran Do đó, xung đột giữa Iran với Hoa Kỳ và Israel có thể gián tiếp ảnh hưởng đến kinh tế Việt Nam. Mặc dù Trung Đông không phải đối tác thương mại chính nhưng căng thẳng khu vực vẫn có thể gây ra hậu quả đáng kể cho các thị trường xuất khẩu lớn của Việt Nam. Nếu gián đoạn kéo dài, hàng hóa Việt Nam có nguy cơ kém cạnh tranh về giá so với các nước gần châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ hơn và sử dụng các tuyến vận tải ngắn hơn hoặc ít rủi ro hơn. RFI : Ngành công nghệ của Việt Nam đang phát triển. Tại sao lĩnh vực này cũng có thể bị tác động với những diễn biến địa-chính trị ở Trung Đông ? Laurent Gédéon : Nhìn chung ngành công nghiệp công nghệ của Việt Nam, bao gồm điện tử, bán dẫn và lắp ráp, phụ thuộc lớn vào năng lượng và nguyên liệu thô. Căng thẳng tại các quốc gia sản xuất hydrocarbon như Ả Rập Xê Út, Qatar hay Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất có thể làm giá dầu và khí đốt tăng lên, kéo theo chi phí sản xuất và vận tải quốc tế tăng, như đã nói ở trên. Trong khi đó hoạt động công nghiệp của Việt Nam cần nguồn năng lượng lớn, giá năng lượng tăng sẽ tác động đến sức cạnh tranh của hàng xuất khẩu công nghệ Việt Nam. Việt Nam đã trở thành mắt xích quan trọng trong chuỗi sản xuất công nghệ toàn cầu nhờ sự hiện diện của các tập đoàn lớn như Samsung, Intel, Foxconn và Apple. Với vai trò nhà xuất khẩu sản phẩm hoàn chỉnh, bất kỳ gián đoạn nào trong chuỗi logistic hoặc tăng chi phí vận chuyển đến các thị trường xuất khẩu đều sẽ gây thiệt hại đáng kể cho Việt Nam. Trường hợp Israel đặc biệt quan trọng, cần được nhắc lại, bởi vì Việt Nam hợp tác sâu rộng với Nhà nước Do Thái trong trí tuệ nhân tạo AI và công nghệ nông nghiệp (agritech). Agritech là lĩnh vực ứng dụng kỹ thuật số và robot nhằm nâng cao năng suất và hiệu quả nông nghiệp. Căng thẳng kéo dài có thể làm chậm các dự án hợp tác và giảm đầu tư. Trong bối cảnh Israel là một trung tâm công nghệ quan trọng, việc căng thẳng khu vực kéo dài hoặc leo thang có thể làm chậm các dự án hợp tác công nghệ song phương và dẫn đến sự sụt giảm đầu tư trong lĩnh vực này. Tương tự, Việt Nam cũng có thể phải đối mặt thách thức này với các nước vùng Vịnh, vốn đang thúc đẩy đa dạng hóa kinh tế tập trung vào mở rộng công nghệ cao và đổi mới sáng tạo từ nhiều năm gần đây. Đọc thêmIsrael bán hai vệ tinh do thám cho cơ quan tình báo quân sự Việt Nam Ngoài khu vực Trung Đông, khủng hoảng có thể sẽ gây lạm phát toàn cầu và suy giảm kinh tế ở châu Âu và Mỹ. Và như vậy có thể sẽ làm dao động hoặc giảm nhu cầu sản phẩm điện tử. Đây sẽ là một thách thức lớn cho ngành công nghệ Việt Nam. RFI : Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng ít nhất 10% vào năm 2026. Áp lực thuế quan của Mỹ đã thúc đẩy Việt Nam tìm cách đa dạng hóa đối tác thương mại. Xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể tác động như thế nào đến mục tiêu này ? Laurent Gédéon : Cuộc xung đột sẽ tác động mạnh đến nguồn năng lượng. Ngày 10/03, Cơ quan Thông tin Năng lượng Hoa Kỳ (EIA) điều chỉnh dự báo giá dầu Brent 2026 lên 79 đô la/thùng (so với 58 đô la vào tháng 02/2026) và tăng 36% kể từ đầu năm. Giá năng lượng tăng sẽ ảnh hưởng đến xăng, dầu hỏa, phân bón, hóa dầu, nhựa và  như vậy sẽ tác động trực tiếp đến vận tải, công nghiệp, luyện kim, bán lẻ và thực phẩm. Nếu xu hướng này tiếp diễn, lạm phát ở Việt Nam, hiện là 2,5%, có thể tăng gấp đôi trong những tháng tới. Giá dầu tăng cũng sẽ đè nặng lên tăng trưởng GDP, ngay cả khi Việt Nam là nước sản xuất dầu khí bởi vì Việt Nam cũng phải nhập dầu khí. Hiện giờ rất khó đưa ra các dự đoán chính xác. Nếu eo biển Hormuz bị đóng cửa hoàn toàn và kéo dài, có nghĩa là Iran rải thủy lôi và bắn vào tàu thuyền tìm cách đi qua, thì giá dầu có thể ở mức hơn 100 đô la/thùng. Một trong những tác động đối với Việt Nam, như đã đề cập, là lạm phát có thể vượt 5%, và xuất khẩu giảm, cho nên có khả năng GDP bị giảm thêm 1%. Tình hình này đòi hỏi chính quyền Việt Nam theo dõi sát sao để dự báo tác động và triển khai các biện pháp ứng phó hiệu quả. RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, Đại học Công giáo Lyon.

Hành trình tìm lại công lý và sự gắn kết cho cộng đồng Do Thái tại Úc chính thức bước sang chương mới. Giữa những vết sẹo chưa lành sau thảm kịch Bondi, một Ủy ban hoàng gia đặc biệt đã được thành lập, đánh dấu cuộc điều tra ở cấp độ cao nhất. Không chỉ dừng lại ở việc bóc tách những góc khuất của chủ nghĩa bài Do Thái, đây còn là cuộc chiến pháp lý đầy quyết liệt nhằm củng cố an ninh quốc gia và hàn gắn những rạn nứt trong lòng xã hội.

Phúc trình mang tính chất toàn quốc đầu tiên, về nạn phân biệt chủng tộc tại các trường đại học ở Úc đã chỉ ra rằng, đây là một vấn đề phổ biến và mang tính hệ thống. Báo cáo cho thấy, 70% sinh viên và nhân viên từ 42 trường đại học, đã chứng kiến nạn phân biệt chủng tộc. Mức độ phân biệt chủng tộc cao hơn ở sinh viên và nhân viên người bản địa, người Hoa, người gốc Phi, người Do Thái và người Trung Đông, trong đó chỉ có 6% những người từng trải qua nạn phân biệt chủng tộc khiếu nại.

This is message 19 in Gospel Record of John John 6:59-71 When the truth of Christ moves from meeting physical needs to demanding faith and surrender, the crowd begins to thin. Many are willing to follow while benefits are flowing, but they stumble when confronted with hard truth that exposes pride and calls for wholehearted trust. Jesus does not soften His message to keep followers. He forces a decision. Real discipleship is revealed when others walk away and a heart remains anchored, not because everything is understood, but because there is nowhere else to go. Eternal life is found in Him alone, and each person must decide whether to be offended and leave or believe and stay.

Quantum Physics Proves Faith (4) Be Careful – Words Create (audio) David Eells – 2/1/26 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 received (Greek) them, and ye shall have them. Looking at it from a surface level, it would seem a ridiculous statement that Jesus made. How is it possible that spoken words would send a mountain, or a spiritual equivalent, into the sea?   Mustard Seed and Quantum Physics When Jesus said in Luke 17:6, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say…” He was speaking of the smallest seed that could be seen in His time. If He were here today, He might say, “If you had faith as an atom…” Or even smaller, “If you had faith as a quark (which is a subatomic particle)…” The point He was making was that small things that cannot be easily seen manifest themselves and affect things in this larger world where we live. Quantum physics is the study of things so small that we cannot see them, yet everything we see is made of these subatomic particles. Remember, Hebrews 11:3 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Before God spoke and said, “Let there be light”, the substance for light was there. The sound vibration of His words caused the substance to manifest and appear. Words are energy and energy affects matter. The energy of your microwave vibrates the water molecules and heats the water. The energy of electricity flows to your washing machine and powers the motor that spins the tub and cleans your clothes. So, we can rightfully say that energy affects matter. Your words are energy and they affect the matter in your life. When you speak the words, “This is the worst car I have ever had! You stupid piece of junk!” Those words are vibrations of energy that affect the atoms that make up that car. If you speak those words long enough, your car will obey you! Scientists have performed experiments with atoms and their subatomic particles, such as electrons. If you paid attention in school, you saw the diagram of an atom with the electron orbiting it like the Earth orbits the sun. The interesting thing is that scientists have discovered that the electron that is shown orbiting the nucleus is not always there in particle form. It exists in a wave state (like a cloud, everywhere at once) until someone looks at it. When the scientist observes it, it suddenly appears as a dot (particle). What we all want to know is, “How does it know someone is looking at it?” It obviously is responding to the observer's interaction with it. One of the difficulties in quantum physics is that the particles behave somewhat differently for each observer, which leads to the question, “Does it behave according to what the scientist believes?” In any event, we can definitely conclude that Jesus was right when He taught that all matter responds to faith and words. The substance from which our world is made is influenced and manifested by words. The things that you desire are made up of atoms. They know what you believe, hear what you say and behave accordingly! The thoughts and beliefs that you carry also produce an energy around you. Have you ever noticed that when you are angry, things go wrong, and people are insulting and angry with you? Your thoughts and beliefs produce an energy that people can perceive and react to. If you believe that no one likes you, then you emit that rejecting type of energy, and people will be driven away from you. If you love people and care about them, they will feel that and be drawn to you. Have you ever been around someone who is pleasant and full of love? It is an energy you can actually feel. The energy of love is a powerful drawing card for good in your life. After all, God is Love. When you believe that God loves you and wants you to prosper, then you change your words and beliefs about money. Now, I have learned to think, believe, and say, “Things always work out for me. Everything that I do prospers and I have abundance in Jesus' name.” God is not limited to the things that you and I see. There is an infinite supply of substance waiting to be manifest according to your beliefs and words! Let me share with you portions of this video transcript on how we need to be careful, because our words create. Please remember, I only used what I agree with, but my advice in red is from a biblical perspective. It's called:   This Ancient Code Reveals EXACTLY How Your Words Control Reality The Universe Obeys This Philosophical Essence - 12/1/2025 (David's notes in red) Everything is energy, including the words you speak. This deep-dive uncovers the hidden influence language has on perception, belief, emotion, and the human nervous system. You'll explore how words shape internal states, how meanings influence behavior, and why conscious speech can transform the trajectory of your life. This masterclass breaks down the roots behind commonly used terms, how repetition affects the subconscious, and why intentional language can create profound psychological shifts. You'll learn practical tools to upgrade your vocabulary, shift limiting self-talk, and reclaim the creative power hidden inside everyday speech. If you've ever felt like your potential was muted, your confidence diluted, or your reality stuck on repeat — this is the missing piece. Your words are not just expressions… they're instructions. Reclaim the code. Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Your words have a very dark secret. I'll prove they're controlling your reality. What if I told you that every word you've ever spoken was a spell? And what if the people who designed language knew this from the very beginning? (Correction: God created this from the scattering of Babel by their languages He gave them.) There's a reason they call it “spelling”. It's called that because you're literally casting spells every time you arrange letters into words. And here's what nobody tells you: the words you were taught to use were specifically chosen to keep you trapped in a mental prison you can't even see. (Correction: Jesus taught that our words bind AND loose.) But it's not your mistake. And before you dismiss this as a conspiracy theory, let me show you something. Look at the word “grammar”. Where does it come from? Grimoire. That's a book of magic spells. The structure of language grammar was originally understood as a magical system. (But it is more correctly a supernatural system.) Then there's “cursive writing.” We call it cursive because it creates curses. And “spelling”; you're casting spells. This isn't hidden. It's right there in plain sight. They just trained you to laugh it off as coincidence. (Most of what lost man says is a curse.) But here's where it gets disturbing. In 1946, something vanished from American schools. Not prayer. Not paddling. Etymology. The study of where words come from and what they actually mean. And the moment they removed it, you lost the ability to see the trap. Because when you understand what words really mean at their root, you start noticing that almost every word you use was designed to program you into accepting limitations you never agreed to. Let me prove it to you right now. There's a reason they stopped teaching etymology in 1946. Before that, every kid learned to decode words to understand the hidden programs inside language. Then it stopped. Everywhere all at once. They replaced it with memorization and standardized tests. Why? Because if you knew that, ‘understand' literally means ‘to stand under' - to submit, you might stop saying ‘I understand' in every agreement. If you knew ‘government' breaks ‘to govern,' meaning to control and ‘meant' meaning mind, you might start questioning authority differently. They gave you a corrupted vocabulary and told you words don't matter. But words are spells. And they've been casting them over you your entire life. Listen, I know how that sounds. I know you're probably thinking, OK, this is going to be some weird metaphor thing, but stay with me because what I'm about to show you isn't a metaphor at all. It's physics. It's biology. And they've (more like Satan has) systematically hidden it from you, because once you understand that your words aren't describing reality, they're creating it, you become ungovernable. (It starts with the heart. Rom 10:10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.) Here's the truth nobody's telling you. You've been doing the work right? Like positive thinking? This means you're not lazy and you're definitely not missing some secret ingredient. But here's what's happening. You've been using contaminated language that programs failure directly into your nervous system. And they did that on purpose. (It's not “they”, its unbelief in God who made the rules.) Think about it. You say, “I'm trying to lose weight.” What does your subconscious hear? “Trying. Attempting but not succeeding.” It means effort without result. You say, “I want to be successful.” Your body hears, “want, lack, desire. The state of not having.” You say, “I need more money.” Your cells receive “need, scarcity, desperation, and emergency mode.” Every single one of those statements is a spell. And you just cast limitation into your reality without even knowing it. (Jesus said, “believe you have received”.) Now here's what they don't want you to know. The elite study etymology like their lives depend on it. They teach their children Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, and Hebrew, these ancient languages that are basically frequency codes. While they're learning to program reality, they give your kids text, speak, and emojis. They dumb down the vocabulary. They remove etymology from schools, and they tell you the biggest lie ever told. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” That's not protection. That's programming you to dismiss the most powerful force in your reality. Words aren't neutral. I need you to understand this. They're not just communication tools; they're technology. Frequency technology. Every word you speak creates an electromagnetic signature. Doctor Masaru Moto proved this. He exposed water to different words: written words, spoken words, and even thoughts directed at water. Then he froze it and photographed the crystals under a microscope. Water, exposed to love and gratitude, form perfect, beautiful, symmetrical crystals. Absolute geometric perfection. Water exposed to ‘hate' and ‘you make me sick' create chaos, broken, distorted, ugly formations. Now here's where it gets crazy. You are 70% water. Every cell, every organ, every system, is mostly water. And you speak, what is it like, 16,000 words a day? Every single word is creating either coherence or chaos inside your body. When you say, “I'm so stupid,” your cells hear that. When you say, “I'm broke, I'm tired; I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed,” every water molecule in your body is reshaping around that frequency. The problem is, nobody told you that thoughts don't create reality. Words do because thoughts are made of words, right? You can't think without language. And if your language is corrupted, your thoughts are corrupted, which means your reality is corrupted. It's that simple. And get this. Spelling and casting spells aren't a coincidence. Grammar comes from Grimoire, a book of spells. Cursive comes from curse. It's all hiding in plain sight, and we laugh it off because we've been trained to dismiss it as coincidence. But once you decode even five words, you can't “unsee it”. “Mortgage” - Mort means death, like mortal mortuary. Gauge means pledge, like engage in a binding agreement. So mortgage equals “death pledge”. You're signing a death pledge, and they call it that right to your face. “Pharmacy” comes from pharmakeia, which is sorcery, witchcraft. “Government” equals governance, control, plus ‘meant, mind' equals mind control. They're telling you exactly what they're doing, and you're agreeing because nobody taught you to read the code. So here's what changes once you understand this. Once you get that language is literal reality programming technology, you gain complete linguistic sovereignty. You stop speaking unconsciously. You stop signing invisible contracts. You stop casting limitation spells over your own life. You reclaim the creative power they've deliberately hidden from you. This isn't about positive thinking. Positive thinking is surface-level. It's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. This is about understanding that you are a frequency generator broadcasting electromagnetic signatures every second, and language is how you tune that frequency. (It's not positive thinking alone, its faith in God's thinking which we are told, “overcomes the world”.) Some people manifest easily and listen. It's not because they're more spiritual or more blessed. They just understand that every sentence is a contract with the universe. And the universe always says yes. You're about to learn what the elite know. You're about to understand why certain people seem to bend reality while others stay stuck in the same patterns year after year. And you're never going to speak the same way again. Because once you know, words are spells, every conversation becomes a conscious ritual. And you are the spellcaster. So let me take you back to 1946. Before that year, every kid in school learned etymology. Not as some optional elective you could skip as protection. They taught you to decode words, to understand the hidden programs inside language. To recognize when someone was casting a spell over you through carefully chosen vocabulary. It was the standard curriculum everywhere. The United States, Europe, Asia, everywhere. Then 1946 hit, and it stopped globally, simultaneously. They replaced etymology with memorization, standardized testing, and regurgitation. Why decode language when you can just memorize what they tell you it means, right? Just trust us. This word means this. Don't ask where it came from, don't ask what the roots are, just memorize it and move on. Here's where it gets crazy. This wasn't a gradual shift. It's not like schools slowly phased it out over decades. This was a coordinated effort after World War II, after they saw what propaganda could do, how language could move entire nations, how words could convince people to do unspeakable things. They systematically removed linguistic literacy from education. Edward Bernays. You've got to know this name. The nephew of Sigmund Freud literally wrote the book on propaganda; “public relations,” he called it. He understood that controlling language controls populations. And his whole philosophy was this: a population that decodes language is dangerous. A population that understands etymology asks too many questions. They see through the manipulation. They recognize the spells being cast. So what did they do? They gave you dumbed-down vocabulary. They told you words are just sounds we assign meaning to. Random, arbitrary. ‘Oh, we just decided this collection of sounds means this thing.' But that's a lie. Every word carries frequency. Every route carries programming. And when you don't know what you're saying, you can't control what you're creating. Think about how many contracts you've signed in your life without understanding the etymology of the terms. How many agreements have you made using words you never decoded? You've been consenting to things you didn't understand because they removed your ability to read the fine print hidden in plain sight. I mean, when you sign a mortgage, do you know you're signing a death pledge? When you go to the pharmacy, do you know you're visiting a place whose name literally means sorcery? When you say, “I understand” in a legal agreement, do you know you're saying, “I position myself beneath your authority?” No, because they removed that knowledge in 1946. Systematically, globally. And nobody questioned it because they framed it as educational reform, progress, and modernization. But it wasn't progress. It was control, and once you see that, you can't “unsee it”. Now, let me remind you about Doctor Masaru Emoto and why his work should have changed everything. This man did something so simple and so profound that it broke through all the academic gatekeeping and hit people right in the gut. He took water, just regular water. And exposed it to different words. He'd write words on paper and tape them to containers of water. He'd play music with different emotional tones. He'd have people speak to the water with different intentions. ‘Love, gratitude, hate.' ‘You make me sick.' ‘I will kill you.' Different frequencies through language and sound. Then he froze the water and photographed the crystals under a microscope. And what he found, water exposed to ‘love and gratitude,' formed perfect, beautiful, symmetrical crystals. Sacred geometry appearing in frozen water because of a word. Water exposed to ‘hate' and ‘you make me sick' became chaotic, distorted, and broken. Now here's what you need to understand. You are 70% water. Every cell in your body, your blood, your organs, your brain, your muscles, is mostly water. And you speak 16,000 words a day. Every single word creates either coherence or chaos inside your body. When you say, “I'm so stupid,” your cells hear that. When you say, “I'm broke, I'm tired, I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed,” every water molecule responds, shifting to match that frequency. Symatics proves this even further. Sand on a vibrating plate forms geometric patterns depending on the frequency. Your body is the plate, your words are the frequency. Your cells arrange themselves accordingly. This is why some people heal, and others don't. This is why placebo works. This is why someone who speaks life lives longer than someone who speaks negativity. The water is listening and it obeys. You've been broadcasting 16,000 reality commands a day and nobody told you your body was listening. Nobody told you that “I am sick” isn't a description, it's an instruction. Your body follows it. Now let's talk about what the elite know. Ever wonder why elite schools still teach Latin? Why their kids study Greek, Sanskrit, and Hebrew, dead languages nobody uses? Why waste time on those? Because those languages are frequency codes, not corrupted, not diluted. Sanskrit words hold precise vibrational signatures. Hebrew letters have numerical frequency structures. Latin is the root of law, medicine, government, and systems of power. They're not learning history. They're learning to program reality. While their kids study ancient frequency languages, yours get text, speak emojis. Slang that changes every few months, so you never develop deep linguistic roots. Corrupted language creates corrupted thinking. (Psa 45:1… My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Where does it write? On your soul.) Corrupted thinking creates powerless people, and powerless people are controllable. The elite know language is technology. They study etymology obsessively. They understand words like, mortgage, pharmacy, and understand, all carry hidden commands. They use these words on you while avoiding them themselves. (This is not possible because what they sow they reap and they are clearly corrupted.) Listen to how they talk privately. Precise, intentional, never casual. Every word is a contract. Every conversation is a ritual. Language is how they cast spells. They removed etymology so you wouldn't see the manipulation. They simplified your vocabulary. They told you language doesn't matter while mastering rhetoric, persuasion and linguistic magic at elite universities. The game has always been rigged. But now you know. Princeton University ran an experiment for decades called The Global Consciousness Project. They set up random number generators all over the world. Machines that should produce completely random data. No pattern. No predictability. Just pure randomness. Then they measured what happened during major global events. September 11th, massive natural disasters, Princess Diana's funeral, and the moment Obama was elected. Moments when millions of people focus their consciousness on the same thing at the same time, feeling the same emotions, thinking similar thoughts. The random number generators became less random. Significantly, measurably, statistically impossible to explain away. Human consciousness was affecting machines not through touch, not through proximity, through field, through frequency, through collective attention, creating coherence in the quantum field. (I have found this so. Machines respond to commands.) Now I heard about this, and I thought, “OK, that's interesting. But it's happening with millions of people. What about one person? What about me?” So I got a random number generator app on my phone. Simple thing. Just spits out random numbers between 1 and 100. I watched it for a week, completely random, as expected. No patterns, just chaos. Then I tried something. I focused my intention on it, not hoping, not wishing. I declared out loud, “This device now responds to my consciousness. I'm collapsing the randomness into pattern.” And I held that state. Not desperate, not forcing, just absolute certainty. Like when you know you're about to catch something someone throws to you. That kind of certainty. The numbers started clustering. At first I thought it was chance, but it kept happening. Then patterns emerged, runs of similar numbers, sequences. Then I started trying to will specific ranges, “Give me numbers above 70.” And they came. Not 100% of the time, but way above statistical chance. Enough that I couldn't explain it away, enough that I had to sit with the implications. And here's what hit me in that moment. Sitting there watching my consciousness affect electronics, “If I can do this to a random number generator, what am I doing to my body? What am I doing to my relationships? What am I doing to my bank account?” To every situation I walk into, broadcasting unconscious frequency. Your words aren't just vibrating air. They're not just sound waves that disappear. They're altering electromagnetic fields. They're collapsing quantum possibilities; their programming matter. And when you understand that, when you feel that, you can never speak carelessly again. Every word becomes a conscious act of creation. So let's get into why we call it ‘spelling.' Why not wording? Why not lettering? Think about it. When you're in school, they call it spelling tests. You have to spell words correctly. Why? Why is that the term? Because you're casting spells letter by letter, word by word. You're assembling symbols that carry frequency and when you arrange them correctly, they execute their programming. “Grammar” comes from Grimoire, and a Grimoire is a book of magic spells. “Cursive” comes from curse. It's all hiding in plain sight, but we laugh it off because we've been trained to dismiss it as coincidence. But there are no coincidences in etymology. Language evolved over thousands of years, and every word carries the memory of its origin. The frequency signature of its root. (Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) Spelling is called spelling because assembling letters into words is literally how you cast spells over reality. Think about school. They drilled it into you. Spelling tests. You had to spell words correctly. Why was that so important? Because incorrect spelling breaks the spell. The frequency changes, the code doesn't execute properly. They were teaching you spell casting and calling it literacy. And you thought you were just learning to read and write. Every e-mail you write, every text you send, every conversation you have, you're casting spells, programming reality, creating experiences. Most people do this unconsciously, which is why most people feel powerless. They're broadcasting random frequency all day long, contradicting themselves, creating chaos, and then wondering why their life feels out of control. But once you know, once you see that language is literally magic (supernatural) disguised as communication, everything changes, you become intentional. You become sovereign. You become the conscious creator they never wanted you to be. Now, let me break down the words you've been using without knowing what you're actually saying. This is where it gets really wild. Because once I show you even 5 or 6 of these, you're going to start seeing it everywhere. Mortgage: You sign this document to buy a house, right? It's normal, everybody does it. But let's decode it. ‘Mort' equals death, like mortal, subject to death. Mortuary where they keep dead bodies. Mortality, the state of dying. ‘Gauge' equals pledge, like engage to pledge yourself. Mortgage equals “death pledge.” You're literally pledging your life force to the bank for 30 years. They're telling you exactly what it is right in the name, but nobody taught you to read the code. You're signing a death pledge and thinking you're just buying a house. The elite who own the banks know exactly what they're making you sign. They know the frequency that word carries, and they use it deliberately. Government: You hear this word every day, but let's break it down. ‘Govern' means to control, to steer, to direct, like a governor on an engine. ‘Meant' means mind, like mental or mentality. Government equals “mind control.” It's not conspiracy theory, it's etymology. They're broadcasting their function in the name itself. They govern your mind through media, education, language, and you call them your government, thinking it's about representation and democracy. Maybe it started that way, but the word tells you what it actually does. Understand: You say it all the time. ‘I understand' what you're saying. ‘I understand' the agreement. But let's look at the roots. ‘Under' equals ‘beneath, below, in a position of submission.' ‘Stand' equals ‘to take a position.' Understand equals “to stand beneath, to submit.” Every time you say, “I understand,” you're literally saying, “I submit to your authority.” (We have to be careful of legalism. Romans 13 commands us to submit to government authority.) Try saying I comprehend instead. Comprehend means to grasp. Feel the difference? Pharmacy: You go there when you're sick. You trust them. But pharmacy comes from the Greek, pharmakeia, which means sorcery, witchcraft, the use of drugs and potions for magical purposes. They're literally practicing sorcery and calling it medicine. And again, I'm not saying don't take medicine, I'm saying know what you're invoking. The word itself carries the frequency of ‘chemical sorcery'. Human: This one is beautiful. ‘Hue' equals light, color. ‘Man' equals mind. Human equals ‘light mind,' ‘light-being.' (We are men who walk in the light when we follow Christ.) You're a ‘being of light and consciousness'. Not an accident, not a meat robot. A light-being having a physical experience. They don't want you knowing that. Person: ‘Per' equals through. ‘Son' equals sound. (We are born “through” the “Son”.) “Person” equals ‘sound moving through form.' You are vibration. You are frequency. Every person is a unique frequency signature broadcasting through matter. This is quantum physics. This is string theory. This is ancient wisdom. And they hid it in a word you use every day. You're not a solid thing. You're sound moving through form, your frequency, wearing meat, and once you get that, you understand why your words matter so much. Because you're already sound. You're already frequency. Your words are consciously directing that frequency. Every one of these words is a revelation. And you've been using them your whole life without knowing what you were saying. That's not an accident, that's intentional obscurity. They don't want you to know what you are or what you're doing. Because once you know you can't be controlled, once you decode the spells, you can't be programmed anymore. Now let's talk about the Bible, because whether you're religious or not, you need to understand what it's telling you about language. The Bible isn't just a religious text. It's a frequency manual, and it tells you flat out, words create reality. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1. But in the beginning was the thought, not the feeling, not the intention, the Word. Creation happens through spoken language. God spoke, and light appeared. God said, and it was so. That's not metaphor, that's mechanics. That's the operating system of reality. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:21. Not ‘kind of influenced' by the tongue, not ‘partially affected' by what you say. Life and death. Your tongue, your words, are the determining factor between creating life or creating death in your experience. You're either speaking life over yourself, your family, your finances, your health, or your speaking death. Every day, every conversation. There's no neutral. And then Exodus 3:14. This is huge, Moses asks, ‘God, Who are you? What's your name? Who should I say sent me?' And God doesn't say Steve. God doesn't give some mystical ancient name. God says, I AM that I AM. The most powerful name in the Bible, the name of God, is I AM. And then throughout Scripture, God basically says that's your name, too. You're made in the image of God, right? That means you have the same creative power every time you say, “I am.” You're invoking creator consciousness. You're declaring reality into existence. You're speaking as the source of your experience. Jesus didn't ‘think' demons out of people. He didn't wish them away. He didn't pray quietly and hope they'd leave. He spoke to them, direct command. “Come out,” and they obeyed. Not because He had special magic that you don't have. Because He understood that authority comes through words, through declaration, through command, He understood frequency disrupting frequency. When He calmed the storm, He didn't meditate on calmness. He spoke to the storm, “Peace be still,” and it obeyed. When He healed people, He spoke healing, “Rise and walk. Be made whole. Your faith has healed you.” Words, commands, frequency, altering matter. This isn't about religion. You'd be an atheist, and this still applies because it's physics. It's quantum mechanics. The Bible is just one of many ancient texts trying to tell you that you have this power you always have. They coded it into scripture, into mythology, into every wisdom tradition. Words are creative force, and you are the wielder. You are the one speaking. You are the one creating. So what are you saying? Now let's talk about your electromagnetic body. Because this is where it all comes together. You think you're solid, right? You feel solid. You look in the mirror, and you see a physical body. But that's an illusion. You're 99.9999% empty space. The atoms that make up your body are mostly electromagnetic fields. You are frequency, wearing meat. The HeartMath Institute proved something incredible. Your heart generates an electromagnetic field that extends 15 feet around you in all directions. 15 feet; that's huge! That field carries information, emotion, intention, and frequency. It affects everyone and everything nearby. You felt this. You know when you walk into a room, and someone's angry? You feel it before they say a word. You know when someone's in love. They radiate it. That's not psychic ability, that's electromagnetic field detection. You're reading frequency. Water crystals respond to words because water is a crystalline structure that holds frequency. Doctor Emoto proved that. Symatics shows that sound creates form. Different frequencies literally arrange matter into different patterns. You can watch sand form perfect geometric patterns just from sound vibration. Your voice is frequency, your words are vibration, and your body is rearranging itself in response every single second. Think about this simply. Your cells communicate through chemical signals, right? But also electrical impulses and electromagnetic fields. When you speak, you're broadcasting frequency through all three channels simultaneously. You're not just making sounds, you're programming biology. You're sending instructions through chemistry, electricity, and electromagnetism all at once. This is why negative people drain your energy. Their frequency is chaotic, discordant, low vibration. Your body has to work harder to maintain coherence around them. This is why being around certain people lights you up. Frequency matching resonance. You're synchronizing. This is why some places feel good and others feel heavy. Residual frequency in the electromagnetic field of that space. You are a walking broadcasting station. Your heart is pumping out a 15-foot field of electromagnetic information. Your brain is generating measurable frequencies. Your words are adding specific vibration to that broadcast. The question is, what are you broadcasting? Limitation or possibility? Fear or power? Submission or sovereignty? Your reality is matching your broadcast. Always. So now let's talk about how they control you with this knowledge, because they know everything I'm telling you. They've known it for centuries, and they weaponize it against you every single day. The media doesn't report news; it casts mass spells. Think about it. Every headline is a frequency broadcast. Every phrase repeated across channels is a ritual. Repetition is how you program consciousness. They're not informing you, they're programming you. And they know exactly what they're doing. “Stay safe.” You hear that everywhere now, right? Sounds caring. Sounds like they're looking out for you. But let's decode the frequency. “Stay” equals ‘remain (Remain Safe is good), don't move, don't change, don't grow.' “Safe” equals ‘protected from danger,' which implies danger is everywhere, which triggers fear, which creates contraction. “Stay safe” is a submission command. It programs fear of the world, dependence on authority, and small living. “Stay small.” “Stay controlled.” “Stay afraid.” That's what your subconscious hears every single time. (Remain in safety is a good command.) “The new normal.” Remember this phrase from 2020 repeated 10,000 times across every media outlet? Why that specific phrase? Because repetition programs reality. They're telling you this is normal now. Accept it, adapt. Don't question, don't resist. This is just how things are now. Your mind hears that phrase enough times and it becomes your operating system. You stop fighting. You comply. You adjust. Mission accomplished. Edward Bernays. You've got to understand who this guy was. The nephew of Sigmund Freud literally wrote the book on propaganda in 1928. “Public Relations,” he called it, because propaganda sounded too negative after World War I. But it's the same thing. He understood that controlling language controls populations. He understood that you don't need physical force when you can program minds through repetition, emotional manipulation, and carefully chosen words. His whole philosophy was this: “Give people the illusion of choice while controlling the language that shapes their thinking. Let them think they're free while you're actually directing their thoughts, their beliefs, their behaviors through linguistic programming.” (Not just words but their emotion and intent are also broadcast. Stay safe, be healed, be free, have emotion and intent.) He helped sell wars. He helped sell cigarettes to women by calling them ‘freedom torches'. He helped sell political candidates like products, using the same techniques. Control the language, control the people. They know language is frequency. They know repetition programs consciousness. They know fear-based words trigger survival responses that shut down critical thinking. So they weaponize it every single day on every platform. News, social media, and entertainment. It's all programming, all frequency manipulation, all spell casting at a massive scale. But here's the key. Here's what they don't want you knowing. You can't be programmed if you're aware. Once you recognize the spell being cast, it loses power over you. You start noticing, “Oh, they're using that phrase to trigger fear. (Don't leave out emotion and intent.) They're repeating this to program acceptance. They're framing this to shut down questions.” And the spell breaks. You become immune. You become sovereign, you become ungovernable. Now let's talk about the “I am” secret, because this is the most powerful thing I can teach you. “I am” are the two most powerful words in any language. Not just English, any language. Why? Because I AM is the name of God. The tetragrammaton, YHWH in Hebrew. I AM that I AM. When Moses asked God's name of the burning Bush, God didn't say Jeff. God didn't give some mystical ancient title. God said, “I AM.” That's not a name, that's a state of being, it's present tense existence, pure presence, pure creative power. And then the Bible tells you over and over. This is your name, too. You're made in the image of God. You have the same creative authority. When you say, “I am”, you're not describing yourself. You're not making an observation. You're commanding reality. You're speaking as the creator of your experience. The quantum field responds to “I am” declarations instantly. Not eventually. Not if you're good enough. Instantly. Because “I am" is the voice of Source consciousness and reality obeys Source. Here's where most people mess this up completely. They say, “I am trying to be confident.” Wrong. Trying cancels creator power. Trying means ‘attempting but not succeeding.' Its failure language. They say, “I am working on being healthy.” Wrong. Working on means, ‘not there yet.' Its future language; the quantum field only responds to now. They say, “I wish I was,” or “I want to be”, or “someday I'll be”. All wrong, all failure codes, all spells of lack. (True, we are to believe and speak that Jesus lives in us, and our old man is dead. 2Co 3:18. We are to speak the end from the beginning as the Lord said.) “I am” is present tense, absolute, declarative, not hope, not intention, command. “I am abundant,” not, “I want abundance”, not, “I'm trying to create abundance”. “I am abundant right now as I speak”, present tense, total certainty. (True) “I am healthy,” not “I'm trying to get healthy”, not “I'm working on being healthy”. I am healthy, period. No question, no doubt. “I am sovereign.” Not, “I'm working on confidence”. Not, “I wish I were more confident”. I am sovereign. Full stop. No negotiation. Whatever follows “I am” becomes your reality instruction to the universe, and the universe doesn't argue, it doesn't judge, it doesn't question whether you deserve it. It says “yes” and starts arranging circumstances, people and opportunities to match your declaration. That's how creation works. That's the operating system. This is why Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, the life.” “I am the light of the world.” “I am the resurrection.” He was demonstrating Creator consciousness. Teaching the template, showing you how to use your divine authority. And then they diluted it. They made it about worshipping Him instead of becoming like Him. Because they don't want you knowing you have this power. They don't want 7 billion people walking around speaking with “I Am authority”. That would be the end of control. (1Pet 4:11 If any man speaks, let it be as an oracle of God.) Now let's get into quantum physics, because this is where science catches up to ancient wisdom. The famous double slit experiment broke physics; changed everything. Scientists shot particles, electrons, and photons at a screen with two slits in it. When they observed which slit the particle went through, the particles behaved like particles. They went through one slit or the other. Made two distinct bands on the back screen. But when they didn't observe, when they just let it happen without measuring, the particles behaved like waves. They went through both slits simultaneously. Created an interference pattern on the back screen, like waves in water overlapping and creating ripples. Same particles; same experiment. The only thing that changed was observation. And that changed the outcome completely, from wave to particle, from potential to actual; from possibility to reality. What does this mean? Particles, the building blocks of everything; matter, energy, and reality, don't exist in a fixed state until observed. They exist as potential, as possibility, as wave function, multiple states existing simultaneously. And observation, consciousness collapses that potential into one definite reality. You're not living in a solid, fixed reality; you're living in a fluid field of potential. And your consciousness is constantly collapsing possibility into form. Every moment, every thought, every word. You're choosing which reality manifests by where you put your attention and what you declare. Your words are observation devices. When you say, “I am broke”, you're not describing your bank account; you're collapsing the wave function of all financial possibility into the specific reality of poverty. You're taking infinite potential and forcing it into one limited outcome. When you say, “I am abundant”, you're collapsing different probabilities. You're observing a different reality into existence. This is why manifestation isn't about begging the universe. It's not about hoping and wishing and trying really hard. It's about declaring. You're not asking for reality to change. You're observing it into the form you choose. Your words are the observation device. And reality has no choice but to comply. That's quantum mechanics. That's how creation works at the subatomic level. Most people don't manifest because they're observing current reality and describing it. “I'm broke, I'm stuck, I'm tired, I'm alone.” Let's just solidifying what already exists. That's like taking a photograph of a photograph. You're not creative, you're copying. (True) Creators observe the desired reality and speak it into being. “I am abundant.” “I am free.” “I am energized.” “I am connected.” You're collapsing different probabilities. You're choosing from infinite potential. Now let's talk about victim language versus creator language. Because this is where you practically apply everything I've been teaching you. Every sentence you speak positions you as either victim or creator, and most people default to victim language without even realizing it. “I can't afford it.” You say this all the time, right? Seems harmless. But you're claiming powerlessness. You're declaring. You're positioning yourself as victim of circumstances. Replace it with, “I'm choosing to invest elsewhere right now.” Completely different frequency. You have choice. You have agency. You're the one making decisions. Create a language. “I'm so stressed.” (Say, “I cast out stress”, which can be a demon.) Victim language. Stress is happening to you, you're powerless against it, it's attacking you, and you're suffering. Replace with, “I'm processing intense energy right now.” Create a language. You're actively working with what's present. You're not helpless. You're in the process of transformation. You're handling it. “I have to work.” Victim language. You're trapped. No choice. You're a slave to circumstances. Replace with, “I choose to honor my commitments.” Create a language. Even if you don't love the job, claiming choice reclaims power. You're choosing. You have agency. You're not a victim. “I'm trying to lose weight.” Victim language. Trying means not succeeding. It's coded failure. Replace with, “I'm becoming healthier every day.” Create a language present tense, active, progressive. No failure coded in. “I'm stuck.” Victim language frozen, helpless, no movement possible. Replace with, “I'm gathering information in this chapter.” Creator language. You're in a process, there's purpose, you're learning, you're preparing for the next phase. Completely different energy. “I need more money.” Victim language. Need broadcasts lack, desperation, emergency. Your body goes into survival mode when you say need. (It's better to say, I believe I “have received” abundant provision. Php 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.) “I can't do this.” Victim language, total powerlessness, complete defeat. (Say, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.) “But I really want to.” Victim language. “But” cancels everything before it. “I love you, but…” means, “I don't love you.” (Think: Php 4:13  I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. ) “I want to succeed but…” means, “I don't believe I can succeed.” Replace with, “and I'm choosing to prioritize this.” Creator language. (Thank you, Jesus, that I am successful as I abide in your will and faith.) Every single transformation shifts you from passive receiver to active creator, from being done unto, to doing, from powerless to sovereign. And your nervous system responds immediately. Your cells respond. Your electromagnetic field responds. Your reality responds. This isn't positive thinking. This is frequency reprogramming at the cellular level. (Ask for the Lord's help. Psa 141:3  Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.) Eliminate “Can't and try.” Every time you catch yourself saying, “I can't” or “I'm trying,” stop mid-sentence if you have to. (Say, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.) Rephrase. “I can't afford that,” becomes “I'm choosing to invest elsewhere.” “I'm trying to be healthier” becomes (1Pe 2:24  who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.  I thank you Lord, it's done.) Eliminate “have to” and “need to.” These program obligations and lack. Every “have to” is claiming you're trapped. Every “need to” is broadcasting desperation. Replace with, “I choose to” or “I'm ready to.” “I have to go to work,” becomes “I choose to honor my commitments.” “I need to make money” becomes “I'm ready to receive income.” Feel the difference? Your whole body shifts Eliminate “But.” This one's sneaky because you say it constantly without noticing. “But” cancels everything before it. I mean, think about it. “I love you, but…” Doesn't feel like love, right? “I want to succeed, but I'm scared” means “I don't believe I can succeed.” (Say, I cast down doubt and unbelief.) (Remember, Self works will not accomplish what Faith will. Eph 2:8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, that no man should glory.) Don't say, “I am so lazy.” “I am terrible with money.” “I am always anxious.” “I am not smart enough.” “I am too old.” “I am not attractive,” “I am unlucky.” Every single one is a spell you're casting over yourself multiple times a day. Those aren't descriptions. Those are instructions and your body, your energy field, your reality, they're all saying yes and arranging themselves to match. (Say, Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me. This confession will bring power.) For each limitation spell, write the power declaration, not the opposite, the truth of who you are. “I'm so lazy” becomes “I am disciplined and energized.” “I am terrible with money” becomes “I am a wise steward of resources.” “I am always anxious” becomes “I am calm and centered in my power.” “I'm not smart enough” becomes “I am intelligent and capable.” “I am too old” becomes “I am in my power at every age.” “I am not attractive” becomes “I am magnetic and radiant.” (Jesus made reconciliation, which means an exchange of His life for yours. Everything He is has been given to you, and you were crucified with Him.) Keep it present tense. Keep it declarative. No trying, no hoping, no someday. This is who I am right now. And you have to speak it out loud. Your body needs to hear it, not in your head. That's thought, that's weak. Out loud. That's creation. That's powerful. You're broadcasting frequency into your field before anything else gets in there. You're setting the tuning for your whole day. Worry comes from Old English wyrgan, to strangle, to choke. Every time you say, “I'm worried,” you're literally strangling your own life force. You're choking yourself with fear. (Php 4:6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.) The linguistic shield. Listen, you're exposed to thousands of words daily. Media conversations, social media, and advertising. Not all of them are yours. Most are spells being cast at you, programming being broadcast into your field. (Stay in the Word of God and don't be distracted by the World. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind with the Word.) During media consumption, and this is big. When you notice fear language, repetitive phrases, manipulative framing, programming attempts, you say internally, “I do not accept this spell.” “I return this frequency to sender.” “I am immune to manipulation.” Every time. You don't have to say it out loud. An internal declaration is enough, but you have to catch it and actively reject it. Evening release before sleep: “I release all words not aligned with my truth.” “I release all frequency, not mine to carry.” “I reclaim my linguistic sovereignty.” “I am cleansed.” “I am clear.” “I am free.” This isn't paranoia. This is protection. You wouldn't let strangers reprogram your phone, right? Why let them reprogram your consciousness? Every word you consciously reject weakens its power over you. Every spell you refuse breaks the caster's hold. You're building immunity. Most people fall asleep scrolling, stressed, or rehearsing tomorrow's anxiety. “I gotta do this.” “I gotta do that.” “What if this goes wrong?” They're programming their subconscious to expect more stress. To scan for problems to find threats, flip it. End every day by remembering what worked. What made you feel alive? Your brain will deliver more of it. That's how the reticular activating system works. You get more of what you focus on. So focus on aliveness before sleep. (Thank the Lord for His faithfulness and meditate on all His promises.) You speak 16,000 words a day. That's 16,000 reality commands, 16,000 spells cast. The question is, what have you been creating? What are you creating right now? What will you create tomorrow? Speak life, speak power, speak sovereignty, speak abundance, speak health, speak joy, speak freedom and watch reality bend to your word. Watch circumstances shift, watch opportunities appear. Watch your body respond. Watch your life transform. Not because you got lucky. Not because you finally deserved it. Because you remembered you're the spellcaster and you started using your voice as the creative instrument it's always been.

Sweet waters are the words we speak in agreement with the Word of God and are a blessing to the people around us. They are a healing to the nations, and they spring forth out of our thoughts and hearts, and over our tongues to become words of life. An overwhelming majority of what we call Christianity speaks against God's benefits, which we must receive by faith. So we do what God does: we calleth the things that are not, as though they were (Rom.4:17) and we agree with God, even though we don't see it. This is God's method of bringing the promises into His physical creation. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] (Eph.1:3); but when we confess, it becomes ours in these physical places around us. But the opposite can also come to pass. (Jas.3:10) Out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter? (12) can a fig tree, my brethren yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet. Many times, the problem with our mouths is that we are speaking a mixture of blessings and curses. But with the increase of the lips, we should be growing with the knowledge of God in our heart, speaking and agreeing with this knowledge and denying those things that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God by casting them down (2 Corinthians 10:5). We grow into confessing God's Word and into righteousness because He imputes righteousness when we agree with His Word. We should be growing into the sweet water, the river of living water coming up from us, and not a mixture of blessing and cursing. (Jas.3:5) So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! People think that the things that they say are insignificant and that they don't count. Not so before God and, I might say, not so before the devil, because he gets his authority from you. Remember, the devil doesn't have authority, except what we give him. Jesus said that all authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth (Mat.28:18). And He put that authority under His feet and gave Himself to be the head of the body, the Church. (Eph.1:20) Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places], (21) far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (22) and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, (23) which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Every principality and power has been put under the feet of Jesus, which is the lowest member of His “body,” so we have the authority. The devil has to get us to give him authority and, of course, he works constantly to sow the seed of the world into our hearts. That is what a harlot is – a person who receives the seed of the world in their heart, rather than the seed of the Kingdom. (Jas.5:6) And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. The tongue defiles the body when our faith is in what we are told by the world and by the devil; therefore, it is what we believe and what comes out of our mouth that defiles the body. The “wheel of nature” or, as otherwise interpreted, “cycle of life,” is sowing and reaping. You speak things that are a curse and cursing comes upon you. You speak things that are a blessing, and a blessing comes upon you. There is a cycle that tends to be upward and a cycle that tends to be downward. We want to bring our tongue into submission by first repenting, that is, changing our minds and agreeing with the Word of God. (Pro.18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. This can be just your death and life or the death and life of the people around you. We are all going to prove whether we love death or whether we love life. We are going to eat the fruit of the one that we love. If you love life, you will obviously pay very close attention to what you say, and you will begin to train your tongue to come into agreement with the Word of God. Our minds are like computers; they need to be programmed so that what we see on the monitor reflects something beneficial and a blessing. A computer by itself is worthless without a monitor. Basically, God is saying that the monitor is the tongue. It reflects what is inside the programming. If you say that you're a believer and everything you say is contrary to what God says, then that's a lie. We need to reprogram this computer so that what comes out of our mouth is the Word of the Lord and is effectual in changing us and the world around us. The Bible says the tongue is like a rudder that is able to turn the whole body (James 3:4-8). It's a very powerful tool that God has given us. (Rom.12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service. (2) And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. We must spend time in the Word of God so we can program it into our hearts, and we have to put it in there often enough so that it begins to overcome what is already there. To show forth what the perfect will of God is in your life, your mind needs to be renewed. You will never walk in perfection without the renewing of your mind. According to James, it's not just the mind, but what comes out of the mind that matters. (Jas.3:2) For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. (3) Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. (4) Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth. (5) So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! How do we steer this vessel with the tongue? First, we need the will to do this. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). The Lord sets us free by giving us His will. Nothing can restrain God's will. He does what He wants to in the armies of Heaven and upon the earth (Daniel 4:35). We are frustrated because we have a schizophrenic will. His will is fighting in us against our will, but as we walk by faith, He works in us both to will and to work, for his good pleasure (Php.2:13). Then, when in this way His will has overcome ours, we are free to do what we like to do. Then His will in us will steer the body with the tongue. When we hear ourselves speaking words that do not line up with the Scriptures, we can back up and say, “No, I don't like what I said there. I don't accept that, Lord. Forgive me. I'm going to agree with your Word.” (Rom.3:4) 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 are about to come into judgment and some of you are in it and don't even know it. And God is saying that the most important tool is a renewed mind speaking out of your mouth, the Word of God. That's the powerful tool that you have. Jesus and His disciples turned the world upside down with the things that they said (Acts 17:6). The things that they said, they commanded; and the things that they said agreed with the Word of God and brought repentance and deliverance. We have to change our minds, and we must be careful about what we put in our computers. We must be anxious for nothing and let our prayers and requests be made known unto God with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6). Paul tells us something about being at peace with what we put in our minds and what we program our computers with. (Php.4:8) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Everything we put in our minds is still there, but recall is the problem. We don't want to be polluted by the things of the world. We want to put things in our minds that will cause us to think and speak properly in agreement with the Word of God. We don't want a leaven that leavens the whole lump (1 Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:9). We don't want to fill up our minds with the television, the things of the world and the love of the world. We want to fill up our minds with the Word of God, fulfilling His will and walking as a disciple. He tells us to think on the good things, not the bad news, not the conspiracies, not studying the false doctrines. The Gospel is the Good News and the power of God unto salvation (Rom.1:16). Paul tells us that I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil (Rom.16:19). In other words, stop studying the evil in the world and start studying the good because when you sow the Word into your heart, it brings forth Jesus Christ. That's why we are told to “think on these things.” These things have the power to bring forth Christ in you and Christ in you can take care of evil, so it will no longer be a problem or temptation for us. Christ within you cannot be tempted with evil. It's the old man that can be tempted by evil; that's the part that needs to die. So think on the good things, the things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and the things of good report. (Php.4:9) The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you. We have been given awesome examples, not only in Jesus, but in the apostle Paul and many others. They've gone out before us, filled with the Word of God, the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of God. It's a death experience of self, but it's a resurrection experience of Jesus Christ living in us. He wants to use our tongue to do the same thing that the tongue of His first body did, which brought deliverance and blessing to the world. It turned not only the body but everything around them. In order to do that, we have to fight this warfare that we're called to fight. He tells us that this warfare is not of the flesh. (2Co.10:3) 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 the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds). One of those weapons, the most important one, is the tongue. When you agree with the Word of God, you are accounted righteous. Then you are entitled to the benefits of the Kingdom. One of the benefits is the reconciliation, which is the exchange between you and the Cross. God has taken away your sins, your sinful life, and your sinful tongue and has nailed them on the Cross. He has taken the righteousness of Jesus Christ and has given it to you. Now He's given this to you as a benefit, but for you to receive this benefit, you must be accounted righteous. That's why you speak what the Bible says about you. You were crucified with Christ and it's no longer you who lives, but Christ Who lives in you (Galatians 2:20). Can you confess that? This is what the apostle Paul taught us to believe, think, and speak. We don't live anymore; Christ lives in us. That's the Good News, which is “the power of God unto salvation,” but if it doesn't come out of our mouth, it's not going to work. We have to agree with the Word and refuse to say anything that is contrary to the Word. (2Co.10:5) Casting down imaginations (Greek: logismos, meaning “reasoning”), and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thoug

Friends, we took a little break, as you may have noticed.We used the downtime to put together something special: we asked writers to submit their very best writing on the theme "finding meaning in a time of strife." The submissions were overwhelming, and for the next twelve weeks or so, you'll get to hear some of the best of them.To introduce the series, Alyssa and Ben share one of Ben's own essays: "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord." This essay won the Emerson College Graduate Writing Award in Nonfiction with High Distinction. It grapples with faith, history, evil, and, of course, music.
