First Fruits Escape Judgments (1) (audio) David Eells - 6/10/26 Friends, time is running out to be in the first-fruits and to escape the judgments that are soon coming upon the unrighteous and apostates. Please listen closely to these prophetic warnings from some who have been in the wilderness for many years.   Jesus is Coming Unexpectedly Tubby Miniard (David's notes in red) I had a dream about a preacher I met many years ago in Baton Rouge. (He met me there) He asked me, “Do you want to see Jesus?” I said, “Yes”. I became very excited. I looked to the left, then to the right. On the right, I saw a door. It was open. I watched the door, expecting Jesus to walk through it. The man tapped my shoulder. I looked at him. He asked, “Do you want to see Jesus?” I said, “Yes”, and returned to staring at the door, expecting Jesus to walk through it. He tapped my shoulder again, and I looked at him. Again, he asked, “Do you want to see Jesus?” I got angry. This was the third time he had asked me this. I said, “Yes, I need to see Jesus. I need to talk to Him”. He said, “Okay. Look at me”. We were facing each other. He put his hand at the top of his forehead. Then he pulled off his face. There was Jesus! This was not what I expected. I thought Jesus would walk through the door I was looking at. (This is not to brag on me for sure but because of my name I represent here the David man-child ministries who will be the first fruits. Jesus, came as a man in the flesh calling himself the Son of Man, Who was the manifested Son of God in the Spirit, said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” Can His disciples come into His image and pass on His likeness? This is why His disciples were called Christians. He said, “He that receiveth you receiveth Me”. Paul called this “Christ in you, the hope of glory”.) His eyes were two large diamonds. Light came from His eyes. They sparkled brightly. (Those who can pass on this image have very valuable, clear sight. They have eyes for the Light only.) His face and hair were red. They were flaming fire. I was amazed. I was speechless. I just stared at Him, His face flaming like a fire. As I stared at His face, my eyes began to turn into diamonds and my face began to flame. It was awesome. 2Co.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) When He saw this, He smiled and said, “Now you get it”. He turned and walked toward the open door and I watched as He walked through it. A woman stepped up and stood in the threshold of the door. She called to me and said, “You need to hurry”. I noticed that the door was slowly closing by itself. (The door to be in the first-fruits Man-child is closing.) I kind of knew that when it closed, it could not be opened from my side. I began to run toward the door as fast as I could. (The door is Jesus. Run, saints, to the “prize of the high calling of God in Christ”.) I woke up before I could reach it. But the door was still open. Heb.12:14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord. (There is more to this text concerning those who will not make it through the door; continuing in verse 15 looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled [some who knew of this opportunity are now defiling many]; 16 lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat [which represents walking after flesh] sold his own birthright [to be a first born son of Abraham]. 17 For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected [Greek: adokimos; “reprobated”]; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] (who then refused to give him the first fruit blessing) though he sought it diligently with tears. Oh, friends, heed the warnings. They can't change their mind, meaning they cannot repent.) I don't complain about the mean people anymore. I just try to stay out of their way. They can have it all. I want Jesus. Psa.27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. Scripture study for the dream This is the heir of promise: Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. Gal.4:1-7 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all; 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world: 4 but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. Heb.1:2 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; The fully-grown man: Eph.4:13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: The perfect: 1Co.13:10-11 but when that which is perfect 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. Luk.6:40 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher. The Man-child; the rapture Hos.9:11 As for Ephraim (Jacob called Ephraim “a multitude of nations” -- Genesis 48:19), their glory (which is Christ; Luk.2:32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel. Col.1:27 …the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:) They will overcome the lure of the world like a bird.…(Psa.68:13 It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. Mat.24:28 Wheresoever the carcase is (I.e.,dead to self), there will the eagles be gathered together. Psa.84:3-4 Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God. Psa 84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: Proverbs 23:5 …certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.) From the birth, from the womb, from conception (Rev.12:5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. Isa.66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child. Mic.5:3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.) Hos.9:12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left… (False teachers cannot bring forth first fruits. All fully-grown men and women become one in Christ [Galatians 3:28,29] and shall escape) – Jer.31:9 They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born. God spoke to Moses face to face – Exo.33:11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend….; Deu.34:10 And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face. God will speak to the Man-child face to face -- 1Co.13:12 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. The door – Mat.25:10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. Luk.13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;   Salesman Preachers, Usurpers Tubby Miniard (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was a forward observer at the front line. There were eight of us. We were in pairs, dug in, waiting for the enemy to attack. It was dark, and a dense fog fell over our line of defense. Suddenly, one forward observer yelled, “They're here!” We jumped from our places to meet them. There were so many that they poured in like a flood. (Who is the true Church fighting these days? The tares that are sown among the wheat. Satan's emissaries to defeat the Church from within.) We fought back-to-back for protection. It was very effective. We slaughtered them. None of us was hurt. We fought all night. As the dawn was breaking and the mist began to rise, our army arrived, and they very easily overwhelmed the enemy. The enemy left was already wounded and weak, so it was easy for them to take them out. Next, I was at my grandpa's house, where my mother lived. I asked her, “Do you need anything?” She said, “Yes, I need wood for the fire”. I said, “Okay”. I got wood and filled every room in the house. I told her, “This is enough wood, so your fire will never go out, and I have a good fire going in the fireplace”. She said, “You're a good son”. (Those who have fought Satan's army ahead of the front line of tribulation will be there to defend the woman Church from false usurpers during the tribulation. The good son will provide plenty of fuel to see to it that Mom's [the true Church's] fire will never go out. It says in Lev.6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order upon it, and shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings. 13 Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.) There was someone knocking at the door. She went outside, and I followed her. It was a salesman wearing a spotted suit. (These proud fakes that Satan is raising up will be known by the elect because of their slick attempts to sell themselves with their spotted garments of a rebellious, egotistical life. Jude 23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Rev.19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 2Co.11:15 It is no great thing therefore if his [Satan's] ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.) He was fat and the suit was too small (overcome by flesh). He looked funny. (Children who do not look like the Father because they are of another seed than the Word.) I stepped between them. I felt protective of her. I didn't trust him. He began to tell her of the great war and mighty victory our nation had won. (Our one spiritual nation of true Christianity?) He was bragging and boasting. (A sign of a usurper.) He wanted her to think he was a patriot. (They are untried with no accomplishments or authority.) He spoke as if he were there. I said, “You're lying. I was there. I'm a Forward Observer in front of the front line. They call us the eyes of the artillery. (Calling in strikes from the angels) There were eight of us. (The gematria of Jesus name - 888) We fought all night. When our people arrived, there wasn't much to do”. My Captain (Jesus) told me, “Don't come see me unless you win a star”. I won a star for valor in battle. I took it and gave it to my Captain (Jesus). He gave it back to me as a reward, a medal of honor. I held up a star. I had it on a necklace. A brilliant light shone from it. It was amazing to see. “And here is my sword”. I pulled out a sword covered with blood. Jer.48:10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. When he saw the sword, he turned very pale and turned and ran away. (The usurpers are powerless before the Word of God.) I laughed. I told Mother, “You're safe now. He won't be back. Now that they know I'm here, they won't bother you anymore”. She said, “You're a good son”. I told her, “I have things I must do. If you need me, just call, and I will be here swiftly”. I got into a car and drove away, feeling very proud of my star and sword, and satisfied that Mother was okay. (The Man-child sons will defend the woman in the wilderness.)   Flood of Deception Cuts Off Escape Tubby Miniard (David's notes in red) I was running through a barren, very dry land. All the trees looked dead—no leaves, no grass, no flowers. Nothing was green. I noticed there were a lot of very dry thorn bushes. Isa.24:6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. I was calling to people, warning them of a flood that was soon approaching. (The Lord spoke to me about the flood. He said, “This flood is the son of perdition.”) (Perdition means destruction where they go. Representing Judases and their hidden evil lives, lack of fruit, and hatred of good, and fake Christianity.) They laughed at me and ran from me down paths hedged in by thorn bushes. Some of them were drinking wine. The women had silver cups to drink from. The men had wine bottles from which they drank. The bottles looked nasty and old. They were laughing as they ran. (They are spiritually drunken, speaking as fools, perverting reality, overcome with delusion.) I thought, How could anyone be happy in this barren, dry place? Suddenly, two men called to me. They were standing by the bridge. They said, “Time's up. (meaning for the righteous to be in the wilderness) Cross the bridge now”. I said, “Okay”. I ran across the bridge. As I was crossing, I saw a wall of water coming down the river. (He said, “The bridge is the cross of Christ, the altar of burnt offering.” [Those who believe in the cross of sacrificed flesh and bear theirs will escape. Heb.2:3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard. Rom.2:3 And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 2Pe.2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.] The wicked will remove the cross, causing the continual sacrifice [of their old life] to cease.) (Then the fleshly beast will rule in the temple of God as an abomination that maketh one desolate of God.) As soon as my feet touched the bank, I turned around to watch. The flood hit the bridge hard, knocking it out and washing it away. I looked across the river and thought, Now they can never cross over. I felt bad for them, but this side was great. Everything was alive— trees, flowers, grass, birds singing; it was nice, blue skies. (what,no chemtrails?) There was a door there with nothing around it. I opened it and went in. There were lots of people there. Everyone was happy, laughing, singing, and bragging on Jesus. They rushed to greet me, saying, “We have been expecting you. We're so glad you're here”. I was happy I was home. I had this same dream a second time about six months later. (When a dream is doubled, it is certain to happen -- Genesis 41:32; Daniel 2:45.) In the second dream, when I crossed the bridge and looked back I noticed the women did not wear shoes. I thought, That doesn't look safe -- no shoes in this place. (Representing dirty walks; not sanctified from the earthly.)  I didn't grieve as before. I was angry and thought, “You had a bridge, but you refused to cross over. I warned you all, but you laughed and ran away. All of you deserve this. It's your fault you're stranded over there.” (Under the dominion of Satan's Beast and the curse. Please hear the Word and obey.)   Tribulations: Tests of Obedience Judy Gregerson - 04/02/2010 (David's notes in red) I was walking around with someone, and a great windstorm whipped up. (Walking with the Lord as the tribulation arises. Winds of false doctrine and tribulation are coming to test the saints to prove whether or not they are obeying the Word. We see here that after knowledge comes testing to see who has built on the Rock of obedience.) 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. ... Eph.4:14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error. I was around these huge, old trees, and branches started breaking off in the wind. This old growth was not strong; in fact, it looked rotten in these old trees. (The old churches, denominations, and ministries that refuse the new growth of the reformation message are being revealed as rotten and corrupt by the winds and storms of tribulation now whipping up in the world. Judgments in finances, politics, life, weather, earthquakes, wind, earth, and changes in the heavens, etc. Those one with the vine have regeneration. Joh.15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If these old churches were of God, they would bring forth His fruit as the nature, character and authority of Jesus. But even though they appear great in the eyes of man, inside they are rotten and dead.) And I kept walking and, finally, two or three small pieces of branches came flying at me. (People from the churches who come against us, especially their leaders, just as they persecuted Jesus and His disciples.) One piece about two feet long hit me, but I felt no pain and I wasn't hurt. But huge branches were falling all around on other things. (God's judgment on big apostate church leaders and ministries as they FALL in tribulations.) I was amazed by the old growth. I was looking up in these trees, and I knew that this old growth (Apostate Christians walking in old tradition and error) was all going to be blown off these trees and hurt a lot of things on the ground, but it couldn't hurt me, even when it came FLYING at me with great power. (The Christians living close to the world will suffer as they and their apostate leadership are broken off and exposed. The falling away of branches of Christianity will come against and persecute the elect. Act.8:1… And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church.)   World Covenant and End-Time Ministries Amos Scaggs - 3/4/2007 (David's notes in red) I saw a bust figure of two breasts covered up with an angora goat hide, and over that was another material used to secure everything in place. (I thought the breasts were bound up for a time when they would be used for feeding. An angora hide is set apart from all others, being considerably more expensive.) The angora hide without its flesh represents the old man who is dead and now a new person of great value. This angora hide now covers the two witnesses who share the milk of the Kingdom and are an extension of the Man-child ministry. The true milk of the Word is permitted to be restrained until God's anointing breaks the yoke to release it to the multitudes. According to scriptural type, this will be when the tribulation has come. But David and Moses, as types of the Man-child, fed and defended those few sheep in the wilderness before coming to their greater kingdom ministry to the multitudes of God's people. There was a poster graph scale with 10 men's faces on it. There were nine men in place on the chart and colored in with black. The tenth man's silhouette was in white at first glance. There was a disagreement or a struggle between two people over when to put the 10th man on the chart. Then the tenth man was put on the chart, and half of his face was colored in with black to satisfy the others. I thought the men represented a period of time before completion. Whatever that period of time is, it is very short. This could be the time when Jesus will start to feed his people, who also walk in darkness, through the Man-child. 10 men's faces represent the 10 kings of the world continental divisions of the beast kingdom. One-half face could be the time until the beast covenant is completed at the beginning of the tribulation, and the man-child/witnesses begin to feed the milk to the young church on a worldwide basis. (The half black face could represent that one kingdom is divided over its support of the beast. Satan is the deceiver of the whole world outside of Christ.)   It's Confirmed: It Is the End Times Brandon Corsi - 02/04/2011 (David's notes in red) I wanted to give a testimony of a couple of dreams the Lord gave me within the past year and a half concerning my belief that the end times are coming soon. The first dream came about a year and a half ago. I never waver in my belief in the Lord (not that I never waver in obedience), but I was really struggling with unbelief about some end-times prophecy I was hearing from people and seeing online, some even from UBM (I was just a casual listener then). Might I also add that I was not raised to be a Christian nor in church, and if anything, the beliefs I was taught were more agnostic than anything. My father, being a science-minded person who graduated with a degree in science, didn't push any beliefs on me, but being a young boy, I think I unknowingly adopted his beliefs and carried them with me longer than I knew or wanted to. That is, until the Lord changed my life. Anyway, I think I was still getting rid of the last of those remnants of the old Brandon. I began my real walk with the Lord a few years ago, so my faith in Jesus was as strong then as it is now. But I had trouble with the skepticism inside of me. Well, I took it to the Lord for the first time, asking Him before bed to please give me a dream to show me the truth that tribulation is coming very soon. Well, I got one. It was a year ago, and I didn't write it down, but in the dream, I remember I found a card with a number on it. So when I awoke, I decided to see what page in the Bible it was and, sure enough, it was page 753 in my Bible, which includes Revelation 11:1-2, which speaks about the tribulation (I'll explain the significance of that in a moment). He gave me what I wanted, so I was at peace for the time being. Four or five months later, I got some more unbelief on me, as I was hearing more and more specific and amazing prophecies about the rapidly approaching tribulation; by the way, all these things I had heard were from very credible sources, including UBM. Once again, I became troubled by the fact that I was skeptical about them. Honestly, all I wanted was to just believe. I wished I hadn't ever had doubts, but I did. So I went to the Lord again, although a little more reluctantly this time, for He already showed me once, and I didn't want to fall out of His favor. I asked Him, once again, to please give me one more confirmation that I can believe these things. And I had another very powerful dream, in which I was sitting in my bedroom as a child and got the urge to go look at a Bible that was on my sleeping mother's nightstand. I crept in there quietly to get it and saw she was sleeping, so I went over and got the Bible. In the dream, I didn't even know why I wanted to look at it -- I just did. I opened the front cover, and it read, “Revelation 11:1-2”. So in the dream I opened to this scripture, and it is in the exact scripture text which gives the time period for the tribulation: 42 months or 1260 days. Right before I woke up, I heard a voice speak to me, an unrecognizable male voice. It said, “Do not ask me this again”. I woke up very shaken but happy and filled with praise for the Lord for giving me this second confirmation. Might I also add that those are the only two times I have ever asked the Lord to show me proof that the end times are approaching, and He answered both times. I was already very satisfied with my answer, but I decided to go ahead and read Revelation 11:1-2. A double surprise! Not only did it mention specifically the time period of the tribulation, but it was on the same page -- 753 -- as the other dream had me go to! Praise God! Rev.11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. (Notice that there is an exhortation here for Brandon and you: The people who are in the temple and altar, meaning abiding in Christ and have their flesh on the altar of the fiery trial, will escape being trampled under the feet of the beast because they are not in the outer court and are close to the presence of God in the Holy of Holies. This is why the Lord gave this text to Brandon.) In closing, I hope and pray that any unbelief that may come upon me, God strikes it down. (This is part of leaving the flesh on the altar to burn up; we are to cast down fleshly imaginations that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.) I am still working on improving my walk with God. I have made some bad choices in the past, but He is working very quickly in me lately, and I praise Him for that because now I know that time is short. I hope and pray that I might have a chance to become a disciple of Jesus Christ before time is up. God Bless.   Wilderness Just Ahead Deborah Horton's vision - 09/7/2005 As I lay back down for a little more sleep after getting my husband off to work, I closed my eyes, and before my head hit the pillow, here is what I saw. (I'm pretty sure I wasn't asleep because it was over when my head touched the pillow and I immediately sat back up.) I saw a large motor home that was towing a car with its two front wheels up on a trailer behind it. (Years later they ended up living in just such a vehicle and still do.) as it pulled in for gas at the Fast Stop convenience store, which in real life is at the entrance to our subdivision, on Highway 176 at the entrance ramp to I-26. My eyes were drawn to the license plate on the motor home, and I saw it very clearly. It was similar to the North Dakota plate, which has a landscape and bison silhouette on it, but the one on the motor home had the silhouette of a cow, in red, facing toward the right. As I sat back up, I exclaimed, “The red heifer!” The motor home was not a luxurious land yacht with all the bells and whistles; it's one that is frequently seen on the highway, so I went to my local dealer to find out what the model name is. The motor home was a Fleetwood. The car being towed was small, not a full-size model, but I don't know what make it was. I also wasn't shown any license plate on the car. With a great deal of help from several Godly friends, here is what has been deciphered: Deborah: From Deuteronomy, the red heifer in its entirety was sacrificed outside the camp, then the ashes were mixed with water and used to ritually purify the altar, other implements used to minister to the Lord, and the people who were to minister to the Lord or who had become ritually unclean. Without the red heifer, the Temple and worship were unacceptable. David: The motor home is a mobile tabernacle prepared to go into the wilderness. The fuel for the motor home is a derivative of oil, which represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of the Man-child comes at the beginning of the wilderness as it was with Jesus and Moses. Like Moses and Jesus carried Israel through the wilderness to the Promised Land, this motor home is carrying this car through the tribulation. The motor home is powered and steered by the Lord Himself. Like many immature Christians, the car in tow has no driver yet and it cannot steer for itself. The motor home, as the Man-child has to steer it. Like many weak Christians, the car's power is not being used. As it was in Jesus' time, so it will be in ours. The license with the red heifer symbolizes the legal, scriptural right, by virtue of a crucified life, to lead others through the wilderness on the highway of holiness. Like the red heifer, the corporate Man-child will have presented his body as a living sacrifice. His old life will be burned up on the altar of fiery trials. The ashes of this purified life will be mixed with water, which is the Word of God, making a fully mature son of God. The heifer is facing to the right, symbolizing East, or the direction of the coming of the sun or Son in his life. This life will then be the wisdom and direction used to purify the altar for the rest of the remnant to be sacrificed in the wilderness. There, they will learn to submit to their driver and be steered with power from God. Our way of life is coming to a fast stop at the edge of the coming wilderness. Deborah: The model of the motor home, Fleetwood, also confirms this. We find the words “flee”, “fleet”, and “wood” indicating wilderness. However, an RV is not an off-road vehicle. Pro.16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Isa.11:16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. Isa.35:1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose ... 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. Deborah: I was asking the Lord why the motor home, representing the first fruits, was so large, and the car, representing the remnant, was so small in comparison. I got that the faith of the relatively few first-fruits was that much bigger than all the faith of the greater number of the remnant. David: It's true. I once ministered to a Presbyterian lady who got filled with the Spirit and then left her church. She had a dream of going to three houses and when she knocked, harlots answered each door. After that, at the next house, I answered the door. I asked her how many religions she had been in before coming to us. She said three. It was at this time that she received deliverance from the religions of men. Then she had a vision of me being a giant. I told her it was because I had outgrown the doctrine she was now receiving from me, a long time ago. In the same way, the first-fruits will be big. Jesus delivered, healed, and brought truth to more people than all the Pharisees put together. He was and still is big. R.S.: The crude oil that comes out of the ground needs tons of refining into gasoline or diesel before it's usable by the earthy, natural man. Man's soul is also in dire need of the refined life of the Spirit in order to become a vessel fit for His use. Isa.1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin. Zec.13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; and they shall call on me, and I will hear them; I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The Lord is my God. Dan.12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Mal.3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in the day that I make up my jewels, and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son, that serveth him. Deborah: Also, the two highways which intersect: Highway 176 = (5) grace; and Interstate 26 = (8) new beginnings. I was encouraged by them that the remnant would be given the grace they need when the time comes to quickly flee to the new beginnings of the wilderness.

This week, I'm getting real about something that's been on my mind for a while: how our early messaging and expectations shape the way we see others—especially in church. Teaching institute and revisiting Elder Neil Anderson's "The Divine Gift of Forgiveness" has me reflecting on the complexities of repentance, and why change isn't always instant or easy.I open up about a moment from my own experience on the High Council, when an unexpected reaction to someone's choice of Sunday attire challenged me to confront old judgments. It's honest, a little uncomfortable, but ultimately a reminder that what matters most is not the clothes we wear, but the direction we're heading on our spiritual journey. If you've ever felt stuck in old habits or discouraged by slow progress, you're not alone. Together, we're all trying to take one step closer to becoming like the Savior, even if it takes more time than we'd hoped.This episode is an invitation to be gentle with yourself on the path—and maybe to laugh about mismatched socks along the way. Let's look for those sweet nuggets of goodness in our imperfect efforts and keep moving forward.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Judgments. Fire and hail. A beast from a bottomless pit. Taken on their own, quite frankly, these things seem like the stuff of nightmares. In the midst of such frightening images, we might ask, where is hope to be found? In this message from Revelation 8–11, Pastor J.D. encourages us to find hope by keeping our gaze on this glorious picture: Jesus reigns victorious, his mission will ultimately be accomplished, and his Word will triumph.

Rash or Righteous Judgments by Franklin City Church

Most people spend their lives trying to control events.Trying to control outcomes.Trying to control other people.Trying to control timing.But suffering often begins not with what happened…But with the meaning we attach to what happened.A rejection becomes:“I'm not good enough.”A delay becomes:“My life is falling apart.”A mistake becomes:“I'll never recover.”The event may have caused discomfort…But the judgment creates the emotional prison.

SC's contradiction over bail in terror cases has revived questions over whether the stringent Watali test or the liberty-focused Najeeb ruling should guide UAPA jurisprudence.

In the final part of this three-part series, Greg takes the philosophical foundation from Episode 1 and the moral schematics from Episode 2 and applies them directly to four very ordinary, everyday situations: money lending and usury, lying versus legitimate deception, disciplining children (including spanking), and gambling. Using the categories of intrinsically evil acts, prudential judgment, and authentic development of doctrine, he walks through concrete examples—medieval usury versus modern payday loans, the Nazis-at-the-door dilemma and broad mental reservation, parental decisions about spanking, and state-sponsored gambling—so you can see exactly how the object of the act, the privation of the good, and the virtue of prudence work in real life. You'll come away with clear, practical tools for reasoning through complex moral questions with the mind of the Church instead of slogans or partisan talking points. Whether you're a Protestant pastor sorting through moral theology, a curious investigator exploring Catholicism, or a Catholic wanting to think more precisely about everyday decisions, this episode shows how the Church's two-thousand-year habit of careful moral reasoning equips us to love God and neighbor with both clarity and charity.

The TRUTH is that God's Peace and Joy are mine. When we defend "against this truth" we can identify with the body's pain and suffering and make up a "sickness." "Sickness" does not just "happen to us" without our "thoughts" that brought on these conditions. Sickness is a "defense" against the truth of God's Peace and Joy. When we hold Grievances, Attack Thoughts, Judgments, and Personal Lies, they gather forces to make us sick (pain and suffering in the body that started in the mind). These prayers are essential to correcting this dilemma: Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today. and...I have forgotten what I really am, for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth. But I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I can not be sick."

Have you ever considered the fact that the justice that seems to be withheld won't be forever? Well, today we talk about how it will all begin.

He also recounts unusual cases, including a Chapter 7 involving 1,807 Bitcoin, and closes with personal stories, cannabis culture anecdotes, and where to find him (YouTube, book, email).00:00 Legacy And Trauma01:10 Meet Barry Levine02:24 Brooklyn Roots To Law04:14 Why Not California05:59 Building A Debtor Practice07:38 Bankruptcy Basics11:28 How Collections Escalate15:45 Judgments And Debtors Court17:32 Filing And 341 Meeting22:09 Chapter 7 Vs 1327:05 Debt Buying Explained30:08 Zombie Mortgages34:11 When People Ignore Notices34:27 Judgments and Debt Buyers35:07 Asset Protection Planning36:31 Bankruptcy Costs Explained37:23 Chapter 11 Reality Check39:38 Bitcoin Bankruptcy Drama43:03 GoFundMe Scams and Selling44:11 Old School Hustles50:20 Weed Culture and Dispensaries51:41 Cannabis Gadgets and Edibles55:14 Where to Find Barry57:03 Office Stories and Drug Lore01:00:16 Mandela Effect OutroInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/barrylevinelaw/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Law-Office-of-Barry-R-Levine/100064656866931/#Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barrylevine336Support the show

The quality of our life is shaped by the judgments we make. Today's generation is being silenced and will eventually lose its ability to choose wisely. In Episode 14 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff teaches on the critical issue of the absence of biblical accountability and righteous judgment.As the third pillar in wisdom's house, judgment builds on knowledge and understanding and determines the direction and outcome of our lives. Jesus commanded us in John 7:24 not to judge by appearance, but to make righteous judgments—yet many struggle to understand what that truly means.Confusion about judgment has led to a breakdown in moral accountability within the church. Without a clear understanding of the difference between Old Testament law and New Testament grace, many fail to discern right from wrong. When judgment is neglected or distorted, compromise increases, discipline disappears, and spiritual weakness follows.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

One Bride - Gifts and Anointing (2) (audio) David Eells – 04/1/26 Faithful Builders and the Falling Away R.V. - 06/14/2007 (David's notes in red) I had a dream that I felt was regarding the corporate body, and was replayed over and over again. I prayed about the dream; parts of it were shown again to me just as if I was sleeping and dreaming, but I was wide awake. I have been shown what most of it means and believe it to be a warning to the corporate body as well as to UBM. It is double-edged in that it embraces warning, judgment and protection. I will not recount all of the dream, only portions for your judgment. I was in a large meeting, and it was comprised of only architects. (These are a group of people who understand what it takes to build something.) (The understanding of what it takes to rebuild the Kingdom after a falling away is lacking in the ministers.) There were thousands of seats all over the place, as far as the eye could see. These architects began to show up: all sizes, shapes, colors, clothing, etc. I was allowed to step ‘out of body' in the dream. The Lord began to speak to my spirit about how sad He is regarding His body and what seems to be is not what really is. As I looked, I wept, crying out to Him. A hand appeared, and I was handed a stack of 1-inch-square cards that looked like cardboard. On each square was written one of the following: N-4, E-4 or O-4. I was told to go and place a square on the chairs that He would show me. When placing ‘which' one card on which chair was a deliberate action. I was told, “Put N-4 here and O-4 there,” and so on. I didn't put a square card on every chair, but only on those told to me. I said, “How can I do this, for I do not have enough squares?” I was told to get busy, so I started laying a card only on certain chairs as I walked down the rows. I knew which one went on which chair. As the cards began to run out, another batch would appear in my hand. I began to tire because I could see no end to the chairs and people, but I was admonished to continue. No one asked what I was doing or what I was placing on their chairs. Then it began to rain, light at first, and then it was really pouring down. The rain was refreshing and gave me additional energy. I was told to continue, and I did. The water began to rise, first over the soles of my shoes and then over my shoes, ankles, and to mid-shin. (The water of the Word and Spirit arising in the world will refresh the righteous but bring increasing judgment upon the wicked.) This happened three times. The last time everything was the same except the following: As the water kept rising, I kept placing the square cards on the chairs, walking between them. Then I stepped into a large hole with my left leg all the way up to my waist. Once in the hole, the cards in my hand went away. (The goats which the Lord placed on the left may represent those in the body who are stubborn and are swallowed up by the earth, meaning their own flesh. Isa.42:22 But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Once this falling away is complete, no more cards will be given out, for there will be no more grace given to become a [builder of the Kingdom, which are the ministers.]) When my left foot hit the bottom of the hole, my left leg cramped so hard it woke me up. As I was waking up, my leg was actually cramping. I was told the “N” was for Nehemiah, the “O” for Obadiah, and the “E” for Ezra. The 4's represented chapters with the exception of Obadiah. (Ezra 4 speaks of the opposition of the wicked against those who build the true temple. Nehemiah 4 speaks of the opposition of the wicked against those who build the wall of protection. The builders, or architects/ministers in this case, had come out of Babylon but were in the process of building that temple, which represents Christ in their lives. In the third case of Obadiah, this was not true.) What I do not understand is the scripture from Obadiah 1:4: “Though you build high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down, declares the Lord”. (Obadiah was written about Edom, which is the seed of Esau, who sold his birthright from his father and became the enemy of Jacob, or Israel. Jesus was the stone that the builders/ministers rejected. This represents those Christian builders who will be lost due to selling their birthright by walking after the flesh through bitterness and end up attacking their brother, as Esau's seed did in Obadiah. Heb.12:14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled; 16 lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. 17 For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought it diligently with tears. Verse 4 here represents these people who are building their own Babylonish structures to heaven and are among the 1/3 of the stars that fall from heaven. Rev.12:3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. ... 6:13 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind.) The 3 different cards represent the seed of Abraham and not those multitudes who only claim Christianity but received no card. The 1/3 represents the apostates of Obadiah 4 who will be swallowed up in judgment like the left leg of the body and lose their position in heaven with Christ as the stars of Abraham's seed. The 2/3 are those in Ezra and Nehemiah who will see their error and begin to build themselves into the true temple of God. The cards stopped coming at the falling away, because there will be no more grace for the old order Pharisees of today to become builders. As in Jesus' day, the Man-child brings about the end of the old order. The true disciples became the new order builders.   Coming Giants of the Faith Jon Higareda - Around 05/01/2009 (David's notes in red) Just thought I would share a couple of dreams I had right after discovering UBM a few months ago. After watching the first part of the Hidden Manna series, I started having dreams and signs occur in my life that confirmed that I had come to the right place. (PTL, that blesses us, too.) The first dream started with me traveling through a dark city toward a mall. I entered the mall and went to a store that sold shirts with Christian symbols on them. (A dark city represents not abiding in the congregation of true light, but in the dark doctrines of men and tradition. A mall represents the Babylonish world of churchianity where the gospel is bought and sold. Shirts represents how shirts advertise for businesses, these advertise each sect or their teachings.) One of my good friends from the past was in the store, looking at the shirts. We both looked around for a bit and I decided that I was done looking and asked him if he was ready to go. [Rejecting the old order] He said that he was done shopping and that he wanted to stay in the store for good. (He wanted to stay in his old order church, where the gospel teaching is merchandised and sold and hirelings are bought with salaries and “offerings”.) I wanted him to go with me, but decided that if he wanted to stay, that was his choice. I, however, had seen enough. I didn't want to buy anything and was ready to go. (Note: This same friend from the dream ended up parting ways with me about two months later, after getting involved with the whole drunken glory movement. Because I wasn't willing to go along with some of the behavior I saw, I was accused of having a “spirit of a Pharisee”; this split hurt me pretty badly.) (Oops, there's a confirmation; I had not read that when I made the notes above. The remnant Church, meaning in Greek, the “called out ones”, will leave the apostate sheepfold to follow the Lamb, as in John 10. The disciples came out of the denominations of Judaism to follow the Lamb.  The goats will separate from them to follow the darkness.) I ended up leaving the mall and was headed toward the beach. (God said the sands of the seashore are the seed of Abraham, by faith.) As I pulled up to the beach, I headed for the dock and was shocked to see submarines all around the dock and the shore. I remember asking myself in the dream why all these submarines were there. (The waters of the Word are a curse to the wicked. These waters may not come upon the beach of God's true people to stay, but must recede. The dangers in the church world that were normally hidden are now being exposed, and wolves are seen “everywhere”. The submarine strategy of German U-boats was called “wolf packs”. They are, as Jude described, “hidden rocks in your love feasts”... Jude 12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. The submarines represented their manmade structures to deal with the curse of the Word around them.) All of a sudden, I heard a loud noise coming from the sea that sounded like thunder. (In the Book of Revelation, thunder is only mentioned in two places, and in both it is the sign of judgments being released in the tribulation through the Man-child ministry. Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. This is a sign of Jesus in the Man-child ministry bringing judgments and this second text of thunder is too: Rev.14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder ...) I looked out toward the sea and saw a bunch of boats loaded with people. The boats were sinking and the people on them were crying out in fear when, out of nowhere, the boats started to rise up into the air, supported by these giant men who had come out of the water. Oddly enough, seeing the large men didn't surprise me as much as seeing the submarines did. (The boats may be families, groups, or churches that have been previously floating above the waters of the curse of the Word, but are in great danger from the tribulation storm and raging sea of humanity. God IS raising up the Man-child, true giants of the faith, who also have been hidden and have come from under the curse themselves to minister the real gospel to boatloads of sinking families/groups/tribes/ tongues of Christians. Praise God! Moses, the man-child's name meant taken from the waters, meaning the Word.) After watching these men rescue the sinking boats, I started walking to a nearby forest. (The forest: the trees of righteousness in Zion who are filled with the Spirit in the tribulation and bear fruit. Isa.61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. This text [Isa.61:1-3] was quoted by Jesus when He was anointed as the Man-child at the beginning of His ministry, and that was a tribulation.... Isa.32:15 until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest. 16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.) As I walked in the forest, I noticed what looked like a small, one-room chapel. I walked to the front of the chapel and noticed that there was an old woman who looked extremely distressed, sweeping the empty chapel out. She looked up at me, and I noticed that she was pregnant. (The old lady is the remnant, chosen Church Bride, and she is cleaning her place of communion with the Lord. She is old because she has matured into the image of the ancient Church. She is distressed over the spiritual condition of her Lord's house, which is ONE, not the fragmented, sectarian, denominated sects of larger Christianity. She is pregnant because she is bringing forth the Man-child, the giants who saved the people above, and also her individual fruit of “Christ in you the hope of glory”. This is before He comes for His people.) In the dream, I was trying to figure out what I was seeing when, suddenly, the front door slowly started to close, and the lady stopped sweeping and looked up at me, crying. It was at this point that I heard a loud voice say, “The countdown has begun”. The dream ended there. (The door is closing to be in the chosen Church Bride and the Man-child leadership. This is the countdown to the complete closing of this door at the tribulation. The first-fruits are ready to lead the apostate church through the wilderness.) The next dream wasn't really a dream but a half-awake, half-asleep vision. A man came to me in a vision and asked me to follow him. He took me to a cave and asked me to look in. Inside the cave was a young man on his knees before a stone altar. He was crying out to the LORD to save and protect him. He was crying out in repentance like I had never heard anyone cry out before. The man told me that it was my turn to learn a new song, just like David (I assume the man in the cave was King David -- at least that's what I thought). The vision ended there. (The man he was following is Jesus in the Man-child, who is typed as King David in scripture. The man at the altar, who is being invited to learn the new song as the Davids are, is John, among others. John's text: Rev.14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard [was] as [the voice] of harpers harping with their harps: 3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, [even] they that had been purchased out of the earth. And verse 14:4 [notice the number of the Man-child] These are they that were not defiled with women [or sects or denominations]; for they are virgins [not having the seed or word of men]. These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. The cave is under the earth, as in death to self, which repentance brings about.)   Jesus Comes into Us Through Faith Eve Brast - 04/12/2012 (David's notes in red) I would like to share a short dream with my brethren that I had on April 11th. I would also like to preface this dream with some things and lessons the Father has been teaching me and showing me recently. I have a tendency to get too focused on one side of an issue and can lose sight of the bigger picture. Because of this, I was getting too focused on desiring to “cleanse myself of all defilement of flesh and spirit,” and because of this, my spirit within me was becoming downcast and discouraged. I was becoming discouraged at every personal failure of my ability to overcome my old man because my desire is so strong to live pleasing before the Father, and I was feeling like I was letting Him down. The enemy was telling me, “You just won't be ready. You will just be passed by.” (In reference to preparing to be in the Bride.) But the Father has been telling me, “It is time for you to rest. You can't do it in your own strength. I have already shown you the end from the beginning”. (We were perfected at the cross, and He will manifest it by our faith, believing we have received. Heb.10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.) He brought to my memory the verse where the people asked Jesus in Joh.6:28 ... What must we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” He also brought to my mind what He promised in the Man-child to Be Sent Forth dream, in which He said, “I AM the Lord Your God and I AM able to make them ready!” Which was in response to me saying in the dream, “But Lord, they're not ready”. Then, at night, before I went to bed, I asked the Lord for a verse for encouragement, and my finger was on: Mat.24:45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. (He that endureth to the end shall be saved.) (Those who faithfully serve God's children will find grace from Him.) Then I was awakened suddenly by the Father at 11:49 pm (11 minutes to midnight). I was aware that Father had given me the following dream: I dreamed that I was standing on a transparent floor among the clouds with my arms outstretched in the shape of the cross, dressed in a white, seamless garment. (The Bride standing in heavenly places in Christ, with heavenly discernment, bearing the cross by righteous works.) I was looking down upon Earth over the Middle East, above Iran and Pakistan. I heard the voice of the Lord say to me, “Tell my people I WILL epiphany (or shine forth) through them but not by their own efforts and strength but by Mine own, saith the Lord”. Then I heard His voice listing all the “stan” countries, starting with Pakistan, then Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, etc. (This part may be a reference to a war that precedes the manifestation of the Man-child?)(Fulfilled after 2012 and 2026. They have been involved in war, including Iran mentioned earlier and the Man-child body is about to manifest.) Then, in the dream, my husband got up out of the bed and went into the living room of my father's old mobile home where we lived. This part of the dream was so real to me that it woke me up. (The Bride body is the Father's mobile home or tabernacle. He will arise from His rest and move into the living room, and He will live through us.) After this, I was lying in the dark with my eyes closed, and the Father gave me a vision. I saw myself as a giant (corporate body of the Bride) still dressed in the same seamless white garment (works of righteousness), laying down across the heavenlies above Earth (overcoming the earthly through the rest of faith), with my arms still outstretched in the shape of the cross and with my palms up (receiving grace from Heaven) and my head in the East direction. Jesus was above me with His forehead and nose touching mine, His chest to my chest, His palms to my palms, and the toes of His sandals to the toes of my sandals. It was like being pressed against a mirror! (This speaks of coming into His image by seeing Him in us by faith. 2Co.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) (Note from Deborah Horton: This reminds me of: 2Ki.4:34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him: and the flesh of the child waxed warm.) (This is the resurrection of the man-child.) I then woke up and asked my husband if he had been to bed, and then got back up, and he said no. (Though it seemed so real, it did not happen in the physical.) So, I asked the Father for a couple of scriptures for this dream and vision. I flipped open my Bible and my finger was on: Mat.21:25 The Baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven, he will say unto us, Why then did you not believe him? (We must believe in the death burial and resurrection of the Man-child.) 26 But if we say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet. (This baptism unto repentance is from Heaven and not of man's works.) The other verse my finger fell on was Isa.54:10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed: but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee. 11 O thou afflicted tossed with tempest, and not comforted behold I will set thy stones in fair colors and lay thy foundations with sapphires. (God will do this work in us by His mercy, not by our failing self-works.) I am sitting here listening to last night's Bible study (Endure to See the Promise) right now and am amazed that it is exactly along the same subject of what the Father has been showing me lately and a confirmation of this dream He gave me! Praise the Father for His supernatural guidance for us, His saints.   Plowing and Planting Faith Vernon Love - 03/05/2010 On Friday, March 5, 2010, in my early morning awakening hour, I received this word from the Holy Spirit: The Spirit of the Lord is sending forth His plowmen in this hour to plow up the clay in His body, to remove the seeds of doubt and unbelief in His church. The wind of the Spirit of God is going to blow the seeds of doubt and unbelief away from the elect and into the face of the adversary; then the true seed of the word of faith will be planted in the good ground of my people once again, to bring forth much fruit, even some to 100-fold. The latter rain of My Holy Spirit is soon to be poured out without measure, so stand fast and be encouraged, for the great harvest of souls is drawing nigh. Faith is going to bloom once again in My good soil and produce mighty trees with an abundance of fruit that will do the works of the end-time move of the Spirit of God. The plowman is getting ready to overtake the reapers. Glory be to God. Note from Rex Veron: Praise God forevermore. I have had similar words in meetings from the Holy Ghost and especially since I have focused on finishing the Holy Ghost book. I firmly believe this to be a word of the Lord and that God will protect His children in the land of Goshen, wherever that is for each of us. I also know that as the false leadership becomes more deceived, the following scripture will become more prevalent as the Lord moves in His Man-child reformers: 1Ki.18:21 And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. God answered by fire and put the deceivers to shame.   Tribulations are Tests of Obedience Judy Gregerson - 04/02/2010 (R.M. and David's notes in red) I was walking around with someone, and a great windstorm whipped up. (Walking with the Lord as tribulation arises. Winds of false doctrine and tribulation are coming to test the saints in whether or not they are obeying the Word. We see here that after knowledge comes testing to see who has built on the Rock of obedience. 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. ... Eph.4:14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error.) I was around these huge, old trees and branches started breaking off in the wind. This old growth was not strong; in fact, it looked rotten in these old trees. (The old churches, denominations, and ministries that refuse the new growth of the reformation message are being revealed as rotten and corrupt by the winds and storms of tribulation now whipping up in the world. Judgments in finances, politics, life, weather, earthquakes, wind, earth, and heaven change, etc. Joh.15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If these old churches were of God, they would bring forth His fruit as the nature, character, and authority of Jesus. But even though they appear great in the eyes of man, inside they are rotten and dead.) And I kept walking and, finally, two or three small pieces of branches came flying at me. (People from the churches who come against us, especially their leaders, are just as they persecuted Jesus and His disciples.) One piece about two feet long hit me, but I felt no pain and wasn't hurt. But huge branches were falling all around on other things. (God's judgment on big church leaders and ministries as they FALL in tribulations.) I was amazed by the old growth. I was looking up in these trees, and I knew that this old growth (Christians walking in old tradition and error) was all going to be blown off these trees and hurt a lot of things on the ground, but it couldn't hurt me, even when it came FLYING at me with great power. (The Christians living close to the world will suffer as their false, apostate leadership is broken off and exposed. The falling branches of Christianity will come against and persecute the elect. Act.8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church.) Weird, huh? (No, God gives strange dreams so we remember them.)   Worldwide Holy Spirit Outpouring Samuel Paguaga - 09/21/2010 (David's notes in red) I think this dream tops all my spiritual dreams in its intensity and revelation. In it, I was in a small gathering of sorts. We were talking and then praying. A bit more had happened before that, but I think the point of this event is that none of what had happened before this mattered. All of a sudden, it was like when you step out of your home straight into the sun at noon. I was overwhelmed with light/energy, not as much as to blind the eyes, but more of a light/energy that penetrated to every cell and fiber of my body. I felt I was no longer physical or fleshly but a new being. As I looked straight forward in front of me, the physical world began to fade, but not because it was disappearing; it was because I began to perceive it in a new way, with new senses, and everything became almost transparent. I looked up and began to speak words in a new language. I was confessing something. Although I could not understand the words, I could feel them in my being. The words were energizing and vibrating my being, my frequency, my entity, my spirit. It was as if all of me became one: my spirit with my mind and my body. As I began to speak, my perception of my surroundings grew. I could feel, perceive, and see all those around me who were experiencing the same thing. First, the two people beside me; then, outwardly, the people in the place; then the whole block; then the city, and then the whole Earth. We, as disciples of Christ, were all one, not because we perceived each other, but because we were confessing the same words and because the same flow of energy or power of the Holy Spirit was flowing through us. Although there was a worldwide outpouring, only the vessels of glory, the vessels of light, were filled to the seal. (This could be the first fruits outpouring at the beginning of the Tribulation.) I could feel the power or energy flowing through me, vibrating every part of my being. I spoke words, and feelings became more and more intense, so much so that I could not even begin to describe them. I saw everything as white, yellowish, and orange lights, as if everything was transparent. I felt one with the source, at one with the words, and as one with everyone confessing these words. All these feelings of oneness occurred at three distinct levels. All of this, along with a feeling of peace; it was as if this was a new nature and I knew what it was. I experienced the whole thing even when I awoke. It seemed like I knew what was happening. I knew what the source was, what the energy or power was, and the meaning of the words. I woke up shortly afterward, possibly on the last word spoken, although in the dream it seemed like things would not be the same from that point on. As I awoke, I could almost feel the vibration of energy in my being as it dispersed into the normality of my awakened state. I always wondered, ‘What does it mean to be one with God and His Christ and His Spirit?'... and now I know. (The anointing of the Holy Spirit will perform this.)

Claude AnShin Thomas - Zen Buddhist monk, combat veteran, and author - responds to questions in an inspiring manner based on his Zen practice and life experiences. He reminds the listener how to stay awake to life and understand more deeply the traps of a deluded mind. This episode was recorded during a weekly online meeting of questions & responses. For more information: https://www.zaltho.org If you want to ask Claude AnShin Thomas a question, please feel free to write to info@zaltho.org. Book recommendations:https://www.zaltho.org/books/ To support us, please donate. If you are interested in a specific question, this is the list of questions that Claude AnShin responded to and the time stamps for those questions so that you can go directly to the topic that is of most interest to you. Questions and Time Stamps: 1:06 – How have you dealt with someone who holds resentment toward you? 2:22 – If you discovered that someone you know had been convicted of sexual assault, would it change how you view them? 4:16 – How do you work with judgment? 5:30 – Could you speak about obsession? 10:50 – Since becoming a monk and maintaining sobriety over that time, how has your relationship to your military service changed? 15:50 – What do you do when you feel low energy or negativity? 19:10 – Does discomfort ever feel overwhelming to you? 23:04 – Why did you decide to leave the monastery after three years? 24:18 – How does your practice show up when you feel the urge to hide? 24:52 – Was it easy for you to leave the monastery? 25:40 – On the path of healing and transformation, who inspires you? 29:50 – Would you say that leaving the monastery was part of your path to awakening? 33:50 – When receiving information, can you say, "That is none of my business"? 34:45 – Do you mind when others find you inspirational? 38:15 – In your journey toward awakening, what has been the greatest challenge? 43:30 – How do you support people who don't want to wake up?

As we studied Matthew 7:1-6, we discovered that we are, in fact, instructed to judge. Not to pass judgment on someone's eternal destiny, not to condemn anyone, but to make moral judgments regarding the rightness or wrongness of behavior. Now, to do this correctly, we must use the right standard.

Would you like to understand more thoroughly God's plan for human history? Listen to this message beginning with God's creation of a perfect world and perfect people, then the Fall where man failed his test going all the way to the Day of the Lord when all evil receives judgment. Understand that all of God's Word illustrates what has already happened and what is still to come. See how it answers questions about why the Jews are chosen by God to transmit His revelation to the world and provide the Savior to pay for our sins. Learn about Satan's opposition to God's plan throughout history and be assured that God is in control and will restore His world to the way it was originally and keep all of His promises. During this Bible class Dr. Dean mentioned a couple of supplemental sources of information: the video The Ark and the Darkness and a book by Dr. Renald Showers, What on Earth is God Doing?

Saved From Judgments (1) (audio) David Eells – 3/11/26 I'm going to share some older prophecies with you about the judgments God is sending on the rebellious apostates. We often receive scriptures in our morning prayer meetings of these warnings.   Judgments on America and Its Ministries Shirley Hinkle - 11/07/2007 (David's notes in red) Thank you for your website. It has been a wealth of insight and revelation into the Word of God for me and my friends with whom I share your site. I have never shared these or other dreams that I have had in the past with any website/ministry, but only with five close friends. One of the prayer warriors in our church, whom I shared the dreams with this last week, said, “You must send it to Brother David Eells. You see, I was in prayer Sunday morning and God spoke to my heart and said, “Remember the dreams of the five judgments? IT'S NOW! It's not only the false, sinful church leadership that is under judgment, but judgment on this nation, America, that you are seeing fulfilled.” (In the dreams below God used individuals to represent this apostate leadership. These judgments on them will also judge America. This is judgment is on the secular and religious harlot. Update 3/11/26 - God is now raising up new leadership with power.) Because of the nature of the dreams, I took out the name of the pastor and the people associated with the church where we went for five years. (Shirley is typed as a prophetess and the true church in some of these dreams.) Dream - First of 5 Judgments - 07/03/2005 I dreamed that our former pastor walked into the room where a group of us were standing. I wondered to myself, what is he doing here? I thought, maybe we are to pray for him, so I walked over to him and laid my hand on his head. I said to him, “You are full of lust and pornography”. (I once saw the statistics of how many ministers were into this, and I was shocked.) As I said these words, his head turned to mush under my hand (a mind corrupted by sin). I pulled my hand back, revolted, and turned to walk away, and as I did, he leered and sneered at me. I started to wake up and that is when I saw he was a shell of a man full of demonic spirits. (This represents a generation of apostates, meaning back-slidden, ministers as in the rest of the dreams.) God spoke into my heart and said, “Romans chapters 1 & 3. As he stole from My people, I am taking his mind from him; He is given over to those spirits. (Update 3/11/26 – This has been happening) This is the first of 5 judgments I have shown you”. Dream - Judgment # 2 of 5 - 07/11/2005 All of these people were in booths at a restaurant (Churches where spiritual food, as in the Word, is supposed to be fed). I walked in and it was the congregation of a former church. I began to go from table to table under the anointing and exposing all of the lies of the teachings and sins in the lives of the people. Some people looked at me like, “What are you doing?” They had no comprehension at all. Others said, “Yes, we see it,” and then others were getting very mad, angry at me for telling and exposing all the lies. I looked behind me, and there were 3 of the prayer warriors who had left the church at the same time, as one person, and they were represented as who they are in real life. I raised my right arm to heaven and began to pray in the spirit with a loud voice and with authority. Then, as I was walking out, I turned to the people and said, “The associate pastor was never supposed to leave his wife for the other woman. He played the harlot. He sold his body to prostitution. HE LEFT HER!” (Another common problem among apostate pastors.) Then the next scene in my dream, my husband and I are walking down a hallway away from the restaurant (I.e. away from their teachings). We could hear the former pastor from the other side yelling. We knew he was mad at me for exposing him. He was yelling really loud as he came around the corner, but the weird thing was, he was walking on his knees. His legs were twisted up behind him, and he was being led by his head usher. (I.e. Spiritually crippled and unable to walk with the Lord.) For a split second, I felt pity for this man who was all disfigured, and then I saw his face as he was yelling. My husband and I just stood there quietly watching at first. This pastor was so mad and yelling so loudly. His hair was all matted and snarled, with his face all contorted. Then all of a sudden I looked at him and said, “Everything you have stolen from My people (which is their walk with the Lord), I have taken from you. Judgment has come to your house”. I then brought my right hand down like a gavel was in it. This pastor was nothing but blackness and darkness. This was judgment # 2 of 5 that God had shown me. Dream - Judgment 3 & 4 of 5 - 08/08/2005 I dreamed last night of a lady (the true church) in a church with a lot of people she knew. Some of them walked up to her and asked if she would like to go on a road trip with them; she said yes and got in the car. As the others were getting in, they were snickering and laughing behind her back (mocking her). When they got down the road, they took out a needle and injected it into the woman (filled her with false doctrine) to alter her mind. They took her to a house (apostate church) and it was full of children (of God). The woman was then tormented in many ways. She kept trying to hide the children in different parts of the house so that they would not be harmed. (Trying to save them from the false doctrine) She knew that the ultimate goal of these people was to kill her and the children (spiritually) after they had their fun and sport with her. A man walked into the house. The woman went up to him and said, “We have to save the children. These people are going to kill us”. He just started laughing at her. It was then that she knew he was one of them. She then hid the children in different parts of the house again. Now, instead of me seeing this lady, I am her (the true church), and I am walking down a hallway. I come to an elderly woman (the apostate church showing signs of years under the curse) and I say to her with a loud voice, “The Lord says unto you, you are now forever separated from the presence of God; you will no longer experience the presence of God”. My right hand came down like a gavel, and I said, “This is the Judgment of God on you”. (Update 3/11/26 – These churches are dead now)  She turned from me and walked away; then turned to come back, and I saw it was the pastor's sister-in-law. She was like a mad woman, all crazy. I turned and walked away from her, and as I did, I said, “Lord, what was that all about?” He spoke to me and said, “That is the Church that holds the Truth in unrighteousness (truth they refuse to walk in) and turns my grace into lasciviousness (which is a license to sin).” As I am walking away, I come to a young lady who is not one of the children because they are hidden in different parts of the house. I say to her, “The Lord says unto you, I will never again look upon you with favor or content. You will toil and labor hard all the rest of your days (the curse in Gen.3:19). This is the judgment unto you”. My right hand then came down like a gavel. As the girl turned to walk away from me, I saw it was a teenager in the congregation, the daughter of the church secretary. As I was waking up from this dream, the Lord spoke into my heart, “This is the judgment #3 & 4 of the 5 that I showed you”. I asked the Lord, “What did the teenager represent?” and He quickly answered, “Rebellion; the rebellious ones”. The lady in the beginning is the true church, and the enemy is trying to steal the mind of God's people, by altering their thinking and doping them with falsehoods. (that please the flesh) They are laughing and mocking the True Church of the Living God. The children represent the innocent that God has hidden under his wings, till the storm passes by. (God has hidden some innocents in the apostate church, which He will deliver. Isa 26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ) Dream - Judgment # 5 of 5 - 09/30/2005 I dreamt last night that we were at our former church. They were having a camp meeting. I was volunteering in the kitchen (where the spiritual food of teaching is prepared), and the pastor's wife (representing the apostate church) walked up to me and said that someone was very mad at me for being here. She said, “You are not supposed to be here”. I said that all I was trying to do was to help. She never said to stay or even tried to defend me. As I was sitting there, a woman walked up to the pastor's wife (the apostate church) and said to her... “It's beginning to rain, You are a flower that will die, Where your petals fall, There they will lie”. (great falling away) My friends who were standing with me started weeping, went over and hugged her goodbye; I stayed, watching and weeping. I tried to warn, to explain, but there was nothing to say. The pastor's wife looked at me with sadness and a knowing. I said to her, “All I know is that I love God with all of my heart, and I know you do too”. She then began to weep. (The church who loves God in their born-again spirit but does not love Him enough to obey so that their soul is born again will die. Rom.8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Joh.14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. 1Pe.1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten [born] again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. As was said in the prophetic poem, the flower, a symbol of all that is beautiful about the flesh, will fall. What people think is beautiful about their fleshly religion will die.) As we were leaving and driving away from the Church, it began to rain, on both sides of the road, the flowers were dead and the animals too. I looked at my husband and started weeping so hard (The grace of life will be taken away from the apostate church in their idolatry with the flesh.). He said to me, “My brother (representing the apostate church) is dying, so it must still be before February”. I said, “I know”. (My husband's brother had died the year before, in February from bladder cancer.) This is Judgment #5. The first 5 judgment dreams on apostate ministries are coming to pass now. As the Lord said, “IT'S NOW!” This was said in 2005. The apostate ministries are losing their minds and walking as cripples more every day because this is what they have done to God's people. Since history or “His-story” always repeats, very soon this will be spoken of them as it was of their forefathers: Mat.13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. (As in Jesus' day, these same ones will persecute the true church of the “called out ones”.) Here are a few more dreams Shirley sent us: Dream - 10/20/2007 - Baby Boy - First Tribulation Judgment I walked into a church filled with people. I recognized people from our former church, all standing around talking and carrying on with their programs. As I walked down the hall, I saw a small baby boy in the trash. I picked him up and said, “You don't belong here in the trash”. (This shows the apostate church's disregard for the fruit of Christ revealed in the man-child body in their midst. It also represents their hatred for the first-fruits Man-child ministry [Rev.12:5,6] that is to lead this church into that fruit, just as their forefathers did in Jesus' day.) As I was taking him out of the trash, the pastor's wife was there and was so mad at me. She said to me, “You think you are going to get away with this? You are going to pay!” (They hate those who value the fruit of Christ just as they did in the Book of Acts. Those who come out from among them will take the fruit of Christ with them.) I took him outside the church and walked over to my husband to show him the baby. The baby was playing and cooing in my arms. I was so upset that he had been thrown away like that, discarded in the trash. As I was playing with the baby and taking care of him and loving on him, my husband said, “You have to take him back”. I said it wasn't right that they put him in the trash, but my husband said, “He has to go back”. (Those who love the fruit will see Him in their lives. Like the Shulamite bride in Song of Solomon, they will take Him back to their mother church.) SoS.3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me; [To whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4 It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. As I was walking back to the church, I had to cross a street; the cars were flying past me on both sides. I was in the middle of the intersection and was almost getting run over by each car that passed (those on the broad road will not appreciate the greatness in their midst). I held the baby close and kept trying to get across. As I walked back into the church to take the baby back, I was so sad. Nobody saw me or acknowledged that the baby had been returned and saved from the trash. They continued with their programs they were all doing. (The return of the man-child or His fruit in the bride's heart will not be appreciated by most when He returns to give a witness to them as Jesus did. This will be the first judgment of the tribulation in Revelation 6:1,2 -- the White Horse Rider, which brings all of the other riders upon the earth. This will be as when Moses came to set Israel free from bondage to the Egyptians. He brought all the judgments to accomplish this.) Josh and the baby boy represent both the fruit of Christ in their midst that they have rejected and the first-fruits Man-child ministry who is to lead them through the wilderness tribulation. As the Lord said, this is a “judgment on this nation, America,” for the apostate church has not represented Christ to them in being the salt needed to preserve them. This false church is leading America to destruction. Dream - 09/28/2007 - America's Judgment I walked into a large convention center full of young people. They were in groups all over the building. Some were standing and talking, others were bowed in groups in prayer. God spoke to my heart and said that His Holy Spirit is searching the heart of America. His Holy Spirit is going throughout this nation searching out those who are seeking His face in this time of turmoil. Searching this generation, for it is the last generation... And it shall not pass until we see the fulfillment of His Word. As I walked among them, I could hear them talking to each other and saying, “What do you think? Who will you vote for?” and others were giving their opinion on the matters of our world. God then spoke to me and said they are going by human reasoning; they are not looking to Me, the Author and Finisher of their Faith; they are searching out man's ways and not My ways. As I was walking among them, Hillary Clinton walked into the building and started walking among them also. God spoke into my heart and said, “This is Romans 1 being fulfilled in your sight. This is the first judgment coming into being on this nation in its FULLNESS. This nation is being given over.” God showed me that Clinton also was getting a feel of where they stood and what they were thinking and talking about. That we as a people in this nation are being marked, and we will be known for what we stand for in these final days. The ones who are weeping and mourning, standing in Truth and Righteousness, will be separated and marked as in Ezekiel 9. I then walked up to her and said, “You will be put in office, but it will bring this country down.”  I knew that she represented in the spirit this nation's final apostasy against God in its fullness. (This was a warning! Although she served herself in many offices, including first political lady [ Link! ], the highest office was denied her because of urgent prayers for mercy.)   Abandonment of a previous loyalty, the woman, this nation leaving her natural affection for God, her family, her children, given over to her lusts and vile affections. I then said, “This is our judgment!” I said this very loudly and pleading, knowing we are in judgment... I then said, “Tell America to REPENT!” But she just looked past me like I wasn't there and hadn't said anything to her. She walked away with a smirk on her face. God spoke into my heart and said, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”. (Rom.1:32) Dream - 10/01/2007 - Blow the Trumpet, Sound the Alarm, Our Judgment Has Come. My husband and I were standing by the riverbank; it was flowing over the top like a waterfall, so pretty. I knew that it was America in her false sense of security and prosperity -- everything flowing along so smoothly. I said with a loud voice, “It is getting ready to overflow (the U.S. leaving her God-given natural boundaries) like never before and bring destruction. It will destroy everything. (In Jeremiah 25, Babylon, which is called the great eagle [U.S.] in Ezekiel 17, brought the cup of wrath to all nations and then they brought it to her. “When the enemy comes in like a flood”. After the Man-child is anointed in Rev 6:2 comes World War. Rev.6:4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.) Everything that the people have put their trust in, in one moment it is going to be completely swept away before their eyes. God said, “Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sound the alarm!” I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet”. My husband then picked up a trumpet and put it to his mouth, and started to blow. God is asking the men of God to once again put the trumpet to their mouths and blow, sound the alarm, proclaim the Truth. To warn the people to get their eyes off of this world and all that it holds, for it (that is, peace, security and prosperity) is all getting ready to be taken from them. God then said again, “Warn the people, it will destroy everything. Blow the trumpet!” Again, I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet, warn the people”. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. God spoke to my heart and said, “Don't stop warning, don't stop telling, don't stop!” People were walking around like nothing was going to happen. Some were getting very angry with me for yelling in a loud voice. I recognized some of the people. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. Again, God spoke to my heart, “Even if the people whom you know don't like it and get angry with you, you must never stop blowing the trumpet! You must always proclaim Truth, no matter what happens”. I then knew that this was the fulfillment of the judgment that God had told me... He spoke to me and said, “A nation that forgets God is given over and this is the judgment... Deuteronomy 28 (which is the curse on the rebellious)... Your houses, your land, your children, your possessions, your freedom, your very lives will be taken from you in judgment.”   Flood of Judgment G.C.- 04/16/2008 (David's notes in red) I had one of the most vivid and real dreams in recent memory. In this dream, I was told by God that a great flood would destroy the world. He told me this before it even happened. As the days went by, after I had received His message, water started covering the Earth. The source of the water did not seem to be rainwater but came from the ground. (I recall that in the flood account of Noah, some of the water came from the fountains of the deep and this is what was happening in my dream.) It seemed like for weeks the water covered the world and after each passing day, the people had to abandon homes and buildings and move toward higher ground. I was just in awe of what was happening and tried my best to warn the people that this was God's judgment and that they needed to repent to be saved. I recall that I was never scared or frightened because of the fact that I had been warned before this started to happen, which gave me comfort. I spent the last days pleading with people about repentance but very few took heed. The last thing I remember is that I was at one of the highest points of land, and the water kept rising. I woke up before I could find out the outcome of the dream. I know that another great flood will not occur, but I do feel this was symbolic. Spiritually, a flood of judgment will cover the earth; it will come out of the earth from hell. The demons will administer the legal curse of the waters of the Word on the unrepentant. In the natural, we have seen mass flooding, fires, hurricanes, and large earthquakes all around the world, some man made, and the Tribulation hasn't even arrived.   Refuge from Judgment Sister R. from CA - 11/15/2010 (David's notes in red) I was outside (I am not sure of the place). I looked up at the heavens and noticed that suddenly the clouds turned dark. They were storm clouds. (Observing coming bad events from heaven, judgments, tribulations, and trials are near, and we can see them coming.) Then one opened up and the water gushed out, as if someone had poured a bucket of water out of it. (Sudden destructions from heaven whether through man or nature.) Then suddenly, the clouds of this water turned into this huge tidal wave. (Huge destructive events from heaven.) I realized that I could not outrun it. So, I ran into this building (I believe it was a hotel). (By our own strength we cannot escape. The hotel is the house of God. As with a hotel, we are individual buildings that are “builded together” to make up one building, His house [Ephesians 2:19-22]. Symbolizing revival. Many people find their way into the Kingdom as a refuge, an ark, from the wave, which represents the judgment on this world. 1Co.4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place.) I was with a group of people and we all went to the upper floors of the building. (A spiritual place of safety in heavenly places in Christ. Psa.94:22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.) The water came into the building, and we had to go to higher floors for safety. (Waters of judgment will drive God's people higher in the refuge of Christ as Psalm 91 shows.) At one point, the water flooded onto the same floor where I was with this group of people. (We will see and share the experiences and overcome through faith.) I thought I was going to die, but I had peace because I knew that I was going to be with the Lord. (Trusting the Lord with life and death. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.) But the floor we were on (the side of this building where we were) had an elevator and a place where we could reach safety. (The elevator is the rest. You don't have to attempt to save yourselves by your own works; just get closer to God by grace through faith in Him.) When the floods came into this floor, not only could I see this elevator, but there was higher ground on this floor where we could step up to reach safety. (Praise the Lord! He provides a place of refuge every step of the way as in Psa.91.) We had working cell phones and light in the hotel. One person, I don't know who, received a phone call. (We have the ability to pray and abide in the Light of the Scriptures. “Working” cell phones mean effective communication with each other and the Lord.) I thought it was strange that we always had light because normally, if that situation had really happened, the electricity would go out. (There was light in Goshen when the rest of Egypt had none. The Lord will not withdraw His light or power in judgment situations. Do not fear, no matter what form it takes. The Lord will give great assurance.) During the entire dream, I had peace.   Impending Judgment on America From a prophet friend in East Florida: (I do not doubt that some of these judgments below will be lessened or done away with.) Vision 1: The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have many millions of 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, then I saw New York, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and California nuked; we will be invaded. Russia and China will do it. (From other dreams I believe this will be close to the end of the tribulation. From famous visions and dreams, such as Washington's, Dumitru Duduman's, A.A. Allens, on our site, we know the righteous will overcome and have victory.) Vision 2: The Lord took me in the spirit to outer space, and I saw very dim stars. Then the lights came on, and I saw a huge asteroid, brown in color coming to planet earth, the asteroid turning over and over like tumbling. Vision 3: The Lord took me in the spirit, and I drove down the east coast of Florida and up the west coast, and when I was in Orlando, Florida - the Lord cut Florida in half, and I said, “Lord, have mercy.” and He said, “No more mercy.” And the second time I said, “Lord, have mercy.” He said, “No more mercy.” I asked the Lord why He is doing this, and He said, “Death of the innocents”. I saw from Kissimmee, Florida, to Miami underwater, then the Lord showed me portable buildings stacked like a train, all connected together. The buildings were full of people with legs and arms missing. I ran into the buildings, and there was no end to the buildings. Vision 4: I saw an asteroid race right by Florida and go north; what a horrible sound, and it hit us. Then I saw helicopters with men carrying guns, and when they came to me, I disappeared. Later, I was somewhere else, and I put out my hand, and an apple was there and I ate it. The Lord will take care of his true servants, don't worry. Vision 5: I was in a red suit and riding in a red car, and something was holding me from passing and going to the sea. (Covered in the red blood we are protected from the peoples, tribes, nations, and tongues.) Then they moved away, and I got to the sea; I dropped my cell phone, and I went into the sea and entered a building that was very strong and safe. (Spiritual Mount Zion is a place of safety in the midst of tribulation.) Interpretation: I have a great call on my life, Isaiah 63, 64, and 65. Red is the blood of Christ and power; the seas are the people for the harvest. The building is Christ and the cell phone is a connection to this world. We are to be led by the spirit and hearing God's voice and not be sold out to the world. God's Kingdom is not of this world. I died 17 years ago when I received the Holy Ghost and I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus. We must all go that way and we will do exploits for the end time harvest. Jesus said we will do greater things than He because He will send the Holy Ghost - Mark 16:17. Be one of them and give God all the glory. So, with all these judgments the Lord is bringing, we can have complete peace, rest, protection, and His provision as we believe and confess the Gospel.   The Real, Free Gospel David Eells God cannot fail, but we can hinder His works with our own. Jesus told his disciples, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Mat.16:6). They understood this to mean their teaching (verse 12). Their teaching that was so dangerous was salvation by self-works (Gal.2:16; 5:1-6). In explaining this in Mat.16:9,10 Jesus said, “Do you not perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets (12) you took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets (7) you took up?” Notice that the more loaves they provided of their own supply, the fewer were fed, and there were less baskets of leftovers. Jesus' obvious point was that the more you work, the less God works. Salvation in any form is by grace, which is unmerited or unearned. “For by grace have ye been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should glory”. (Epe.2:8-9). The word “saved” here is translated from the Greek word “sozo” and is used in Luk.7:50 for the saving of the soul. In Luk.8:48, it is translated “made thee whole” for healing of the body. In Luk.8:36, it is translated “made whole” for deliverance from demons. In Mat.8:25, it is translated “save” for protection from danger. You see, “saved” covers every curse, and it is not of our works. Jesus “became a curse for us” so that we might have “the blessing of Abraham” (Gal.3:13,14). The all-inclusive curse in Deu.28 was put upon him. I remind you that Epe.2:8 says in the original Greek: “by grace have ye been saved”, meaning it happened at the cross. The wilderness is a completely safe and secure place for the “believer” because everything has already been provided there. Our faith in the promises is the very substance that the desired need is made from. (Heb.11:1) Now faith is assurance (or substance) of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. The reason Jesus said, “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive (Greek: “received”) them, and ye shall have them” (Mar.11:24), is because all of our provision was accomplished at the cross. Notice in the following verses that all things have been received and that the only thing left is for us to believe it. Also notice the past tense of our sacrificial provision in the following verses: (Epe.2:8) for by grace have ye been saved through faith; (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body ... by whose stripes we were healed; (Col.1:13) who delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (2Co.5:18) ... who reconciled us to himself; (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me; (Gal. 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse; (1Pe.1:3) ... the Father ... begat us again ... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (Heb.10:10) We ... have been sanctified ...; (14) He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified; (Epe.1:3) ... who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, and God in (2Pe.1:3) hath granted unto us all things. Jesus told us in His day which, of course was accomplished in the past that “Now shall the prince of this world be cast out” (Joh.12:31); “but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Joh.16:33); “It is finished” (Joh.19:30). This is why we are to believe we have received. The devil and the curse were conquered. We were saved, healed, delivered, and provided for. That is why Paul said, “my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phl.4:19). Redemption from the curse and provision for life are truly accomplished at the cross! In fact, God's “works were finished from the foundation of the world” (Heb.4:3), when He spoke the plan into existence. The only thing left is for the true sons of God to enter into those works by faith, believing they have received. Since the works are finished, we should believe and rest from our own works to save, heal, provide, and deliver ourselves. This is rest in the wilderness on the grounds of God's promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest. That is a spiritual Sabbath rest. (Heb.4:9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest (Greek: sabbatismos, “keeping of rest”) for the people of God. This constant “keeping of rest” every day through the past tense promises is our New Testament spiritual Sabbath. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. This rest is to believe these past tense promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!Be careful of judging people and things too quickly. Everyone can be a critic, but it's better to seek solutions rather than constantly finding fault.  Some people fear the unknown and reject new ideas out of reflex because of the need think to critically, which requires extra effort. Take a step outside of your convenient comfort zone to get a perspective that may actually improve your life, if you are willing to take the trouble to look at things from a different angle.  Everyone is interested in life extension. Changing a few habits, just a little can yield great benefits. Small improvements in sleep, diet and exercise can give you a better chance of a sustained healthy life as you age.  Although no longer flying, the SR-71 Blackbird flown by the U.S. Air Force and the civilian Central Intelligence Agency was a plane like no other. It was developed to be a fast, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Flying near the edge of space, and taking photographs of sensitive areas, its primary defensive tactic was to simply fly away faster than any missile actively tracking it whenever threatened.  Meet a pair of Wingmen who separately came to the aid of a distressed veteran that was able to regain his place as one of the few and one of the proud. 

Did you know that happy people are less judgmental? Nobody likes being judged… and for the judgmental ones, it doesn't feel good either. We've all been judgy, and the truth is, being overly critical of others is often linked to insecurity, anxiety, perfectionism, and unhappiness. Subscribe to my new Substack! In this week's quickie, we're unpacking the psychology of judgment: where it comes from, why we do it, and how to become less judgmental in a world that fuels comparison and criticism about everything from how we parent, to how we look, to how we earn and spend our money. Judgment usually says more about our own wounds than someone else's behaviour. So we're exploring the psychological drivers behind judging, and psychology-backed tools to shift into a more curious, understanding, and compassionate mindset. Tune in to hear: Why the ego needs to feel “right” The link between perfectionism and criticism How insecurity and comparison fuels judgment The connection between self-judgment and judging others Understanding the Fundamental Attribution Error The blind spots I've had to confront in my own judgments Using curiosity as the antidote to judgment Challenging your assumptions and biases Practicing self-compassion to reduce projection   For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Today's readings.. (Leviticus 5,6), (Psalm 105), (1 Corinthians 14)Our Psalms reading (105) stresses that God is fully conscious of all that happens among his creation.  Many examples are given that illustrate the reality of what Paul told the Athenians, that God “is actually not far from each one of us” [Acts 17 v.27) that “we have our being” within the Divine presence and, as Job expressed it, “In his hand is the life of every living thing” [12 v.10]  Look at some of the illustrations of this in today's Psalm, note how it tells us to “seek the LORD and his strength; his presence continually.” [v.4] We do not have to travel to seek his presence, we need to start each day by doing that: we need to “remember the wondrous works that he has done.” [v.5]  These works are seen, both in creation, and in the wonderful way “all things work together” (see Romans 8 v.28) to achieve God's purpose.  This is seen in history; David reminds us of “his miracles, and the judgments he uttered” to the “offspring of Abraham” [v.5,6].  But it is not just with Israel that God is involved, “his judgments are in all the earth” [v.7] and the full reality and climax of this will be seen when Jesus returns. The detail of the divine involvement in human life is made clear in our Leviticus reading (ch. 5 & 6). We read of more of the divine laws being put in place to cause the nation being formed in the wilderness to become a genuine “”holy nation” (Exod. 19 v.6).  Sadly, they failed in this. David and his son Solomon did their best in their days to lead the people into becoming a holy nation.  Then God's son came to inspire people to develop personal holiness.  The aim must be, as we will read next week in Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthians, to “cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.” [7 v.1]In our chapter today Paul is urgently encouraging them to “let all things be done for building up … for God is not the author of confusion but of peace …” [14 v.33].  Confusion comes when God's word is not read properly – we should not pick and choose the parts which suit us, fully realizing that when “his judgments are in all the earth” when Christ returns,  “then each of us will give account of him(her)self to God.” [Rom. 14 v. 12]  Let us “seek … his strength and “his presence continually.”

Arthur Herman discusses the Scottish Enlightenment and the philosophical origins of "common sense," highlighting the influence of Thomas Reid, who argued that all humans share a basic set of perceptions that allow for shared judgments and the construction of relationships.

When neuroscientists scanned the brains of people going along with a group, they expected to find lying. What they found instead was something far stranger. The group wasn't changing people's answers. It was changing what they actually saw. We'll get to that study in a minute. But first, I want you to remember the last time you were in a meeting, and you knew something was wrong. The numbers didn't add up. The risk was being underestimated. And someone needed to say it. Then the most senior person in the room spoke first: "I think this is exactly what we need." Heads nodded. Finance agreed. Marketing agreed. The consultant agreed. And by the time it was your turn, you heard yourself saying, "I have some minor concerns, but overall I think it's solid." You're not alone. Research shows that roughly half of employees stay silent at work rather than voice a concern. And among those who stayed quiet, 40% estimated they wasted 2 weeks or more replaying what they didn't say. Two weeks. Mentally rehearsing the point they should have made in a meeting that's already over. That silence isn't a character flaw. It's your neurology working against you. And today I'm going to show you exactly why it happens and how to stop it.  It starts with what was happening inside your head during that meeting you just remembered. Why Your Brain Surrenders to the Group Most people know about the Asch conformity experiments from the 1950s. People were asked to match line lengths, and seventy-five percent went along with answers that were obviously wrong. That result gets cited everywhere. But the more important study came fifty years later, and it revealed something the Asch experiment never could. In 2005, neuroscientist Gregory Berns at Emory University put people inside an MRI machine and ran a similar conformity task, this time with three-dimensional shape rotation. Like Asch, he planted actors who gave wrong answers. But unlike Asch, he could watch what was happening inside people's brains while the conformity was occurring. Berns expected the MRI to show activity in the prefrontal cortex, the brain's decision-making center, when people went along with wrong answers. That would mean they were knowingly lying to fit in. Just a social calculation. That's not what the scans showed. People who conformed showed no increased activity in decision-making regions. Instead, the activity showed up in the parts of the brain that handle visual and spatial perception, the occipital and parietal areas. The group wasn't changing people's answers. It was changing what they actually saw. Their brains were rewriting their experience to match the room. And the people who resisted the group? Their scans told a different story. Heightened activity in the amygdala, the brain's threat detection center. The same circuitry that fires when you encounter physical danger lit up when someone disagreed with the group. Berns put it plainly. The fear of social isolation activates the same neural machinery as the fear of genuine threats to survival. When you caved in that meeting, your neurology wasn't malfunctioning. It was doing exactly what it was designed to do. Keep you safe inside the tribe. This is why what I call mindjacking works so well. Algorithms manufacture social proof by showing you what's trending, what your friends liked, and what similar people chose. Your wiring responds the same way it does at the conference table. You're fighting your own threat-detection system every time you try to hold an independent position within a group. You can't turn off the wiring. But you can learn to catch it in the act. And that starts with one critical distinction. The First Skill: Separating Updating from Caving Sometimes the people around you know something you don't. Changing your mind in a group isn't always a surrender. Sometimes it's the smartest move in the room. The real skill is knowing which one just happened. You can test this in real time. When you feel your position shifting in a group, ask yourself three questions. First: Did someone introduce information I didn't have before? If the CFO reveals a data point that genuinely changes the calculus, updating your view isn't a weakness. It's intelligence. That's new evidence. Second: Can I articulate why I changed my mind, in specific terms? If you can say, "I shifted because of the margin data in Q3 that I hadn't seen," that's a real update. If you can only say, "I don't know, everyone seemed to think it was fine," that's capitulation. Third: Would I have reached this same conclusion alone, with the same information? This is the killer question. If the answer is no, and you only arrived at this position because others were already there, you haven't updated. You've surrendered. Getting this wrong is costly. And not just the one time. When you capitulate and call it updating, you train yourself to stop trusting your own analysis. Do it enough times, and you won't even bother preparing, because you already know you're going to defer. That's how capable people slowly become passengers in rooms where they should be driving. Capture those three questions somewhere you'll see them. They're your real-time check on whether you're being open-minded or spineless. Those questions work when you're already in the meeting and the pressure is live. But what if you could protect your thinking before the pressure even starts? The Pre-Meeting Lock-In The most important thing you can do to protect your independent thinking doesn't happen during the meeting. It happens before. I call it the Pre-Meeting Lock-In, and it takes less than two minutes. Before any meeting where a decision will be made, write down three things:  Your position  Two or three key reasons supporting it What would it take to change your mind Put it on paper. Put it in a note on your phone. Just get it out of your head and into a form you can reference. Why does this work? Because once the discussion starts, your mind is going to quietly edit your memories of what you believed. You'll start thinking, "Well, I wasn't really sure about that point anyway." Your pre-meeting notes are an anchor against that self-deception. They're a record of what you actually thought before the social pressure arrived. You want to see what happens when someone has the analysis but doesn't lock it in?  The night before the Challenger launch in January 1986, engineer Roger Boisjoly and his team at Morton Thiokol had the data. They knew the O-ring seals were dangerous in cold weather. They'd written memos. They'd run the numbers. They recommended against launching. But when NASA pushed back hard on the teleconference, Thiokol management called an off-line caucus and excluded the engineers from the room. When the call resumed, management reversed the recommendation. Boisjoly had the analysis. His managers had heard it. But under pressure from their biggest customer, the conclusion got edited in real time. Boisjoly later described it as an unethical forum driven by what he called "intense customer intimidation." He fought like hell, but the room won. That's the most extreme version of the problem. Life and death. But the mechanics are the same in every conference room. The analysis exists. The pressure arrives. And without something anchoring you to what you actually concluded, the room rewrites the story. There's a bonus effect to the Lock-In, too. When you've documented what it would take to change your mind, you've given yourself permission to be genuinely open. You're not being stubborn for the sake of it. You're saying, "Show me evidence that meets this threshold, and I'll update." That's intellectual honesty with a backbone. But you can know exactly what you think and still fail if you can't get anyone else to hear it. How to Dissent and Actually Be Heard Most dissent fails not because it's wrong, but because it's delivered badly.  Blurting out "I think this is a mistake" when the group is already aligned feels like an attack. People get defensive. Your point gets ignored, not because it lacked merit, but because your delivery threatened the group's cohesion. You triggered the same threat response in them that you've been learning to manage in yourself. Charlan Nemeth, a psychologist at UC Berkeley, has studied dissent for decades. You'd expect her research to show that dissent helps groups when the dissenter is right. When someone spots a flaw that everyone else missed. That makes intuitive sense. But that's not what she found. Nemeth discovered that when someone voices a genuine minority opinion, the entire group thinks more carefully. They consider more information, examine more alternatives, and reach better conclusions. And the group benefits even when the dissenter turns out to be wrong. Even when you're wrong, the act of dissenting makes the group smarter. Your disagreement forces everyone out of autopilot. Decades of research by Moscovici supports this. Minority voices don't just influence people in the moment. They shift perception afterward, in private, long after the meeting ends. That's the good news. The catch is in how the dissent happens. Nemeth tested what happens when dissent is assigned rather than authentic, when someone plays devil's advocate because they were told to. It doesn't produce the same effect. Groups can tell when disagreement is performative. The cognitive benefits only show up when the dissent is authentic. When someone actually believes what they're saying. That means the goal isn't just to voice disagreement. It's to voice it in a way that people can actually receive. And the hardest version of this isn't when you have a minor concern about an otherwise good plan. It's when the whole direction is wrong, and finding something to praise would be dishonest. In those moments, the move is to separate the people from the position. "I respect the work that went into this, and I know this isn't what anyone wants to hear, but I think we're solving the wrong problem." You're honoring the effort while challenging the direction. You're not attacking the tribe. You're trying to save it from a bad bet. When the stakes are lower, and you do see genuine merit, you can lead with that. "The market timing argument is strong, and I want to make sure we've stress-tested one thing before we commit." Same principle. You're working with their wiring instead of against it. Either way, your dissent has value beyond being right. Remember that. It's worth holding onto when your amygdala is screaming at you to stay quiet. Everything so far has assumed you're in a room with other people. Your amygdala can't tell the difference between a conference table and a phone screen. The Rooms You Can't See You're not just in meetings. You're in invisible rooms all day long. And most of the time, you don't even know you've walked into one. Every time you scroll past a post with ten thousand likes and think, "I guess that's the right take." Every time you read three articles with the same conclusion and stop questioning it. Every time an algorithm shows you what similar people chose, and you choose it too. Those are rooms full of nodding heads. And your amygdala responds to them the same way it responds to the conference table. Think about the last time you researched a major purchase. You probably started with some idea of what you wanted. Then you read reviews. Then you checked what was trending. Then you asked friends. By the time you decided, how much of that decision was yours? How much of it was the room? Or think about how you form opinions on topics you haven't studied deeply. You read a few articles. They mostly agree. You adopt the consensus. That feels like research. But Berns' scans tell us what's actually happening. Your brain isn't independently weighing the evidence. It's detecting a consensus and rewriting your perception to match. The same process that happens at the conference table is happening every time you open your phone. Mindjacking doesn't need to override your thinking. It just needs to make sure you never finish thinking for yourself before the crowd's answer arrives. And once it arrives, your neurology does the rest. The group doesn't just influence your answer; it shapes it. It rewrites your perception. The Lock-In works for these invisible rooms, too. Before you research a major purchase, write down what you actually want and what you're willing to pay. Before you dive into reviews and opinions, commit your criteria to paper. Before you ask friends what they think about a decision you've already analyzed, record your conclusion. Give yourself the same protection from algorithmic conformity that you'd want before walking into a boardroom. The skill isn't being contrarian. It's being first. First, to your own conclusion, before the room, any room, gets a vote. This is your challenge for the week. Think of one meeting you have coming up where a decision will be made. Before you walk in, open your notes app and type three lines. Line one: what you think. Line two: why. Line three: what would change your mind. That's it. Then sit in that meeting and watch what happens to your thinking when the room pushes back. I think you'll surprise yourself. What if the person you can't resist isn't your boss, your colleagues, or the algorithm? What if it's you? What happens when the decision you need to make threatens something deeper, when being wrong would mean something unbearable about who you are? That's where we're headed next.

In a study of 1,025 employees, 70 percent reported instances where they or others failed to speak up effectively when a peer did not pull their weight. Half wasted seven days or more avoiding crucial conversations. Forty percent estimated they wasted two weeks or more ruminating about the problem. A 2021 follow-up study by Crucial Learning (formerly VitalSmarts) of 1,100 people found the rumination figure had risen to 43 percent. The script's "roughly half" is drawn from the VitalSmarts finding that the majority of the workforce reported conversation failures, with half losing seven or more days to avoidance behaviors.

The expanded report was published as Solomon E. Asch, "Studies of Independence and Conformity: I. A Minority of One Against a Unanimous Majority," Psychological Monographs: General and Applied 70, no. 9 (1956): 1–70. Asch conducted the line-judgment experiments at Swarthmore College. Participants judged which of three comparison lines matched a standard line, with confederates unanimously giving incorrect answers on critical trials. Across conditions, approximately 75 percent of participants conformed at least once, and the mean conformity rate was approximately one-third of critical trials. Group sizes varied across experiments, typically with 6–8 confederates and one real participant. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1952-00803-001 "neuroscientist Gregory Berns at Emory University put people inside an MRI machine": Gregory S. Berns, Jonathan Chappelow, Caroline F. Zink, Giuseppe Pagnoni, Megan E. Martin-Skurski, and Jim Richards, "Neurobiological Correlates of Social Conformity and Independence During Mental Rotation," Biological Psychiatry 58, no. 3 (August 1, 2005): 245–253. doi:10.1016/j.biopsych.2005.04.012. The study used functional magnetic resonance imaging with a mental rotation task. Participants (n=32, ages 19–41) judged whether three-dimensional shapes were rotated versions of each other while four confederates provided answers. Conformity was associated with functional changes in the occipital-parietal network (visual and spatial perception regions), not the prefrontal cortex. Independence was associated with heightened activity in the right amygdala and right caudate nucleus, regions linked to emotional salience and threat detection. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15978553/ "The group wasn't changing people's answers. It was changing what they actually saw": Berns et al., "Neurobiological Correlates of Social Conformity," 245–253. The researchers isolated the specifically social element of conformity by comparing brain activation when wrong answers came from a group of people versus when they came from computers. Conformity to group-sourced wrong answers produced greater activation bilaterally in visual cortex and right intraparietal sulcus, overlapping the baseline mental rotation network. Berns interpreted this as evidence that social conformity operates at a perceptual level rather than merely at a decision-making level.

Participants who gave independent (correct) answers when the group was wrong showed significantly increased activation in the right amygdala and right caudate nucleus. The amygdala is associated with processing emotionally salient stimuli and threats. Berns described these findings as "consistent with the assumptions of social norm theory about the behavioral saliency of standing alone." The script's characterization that "the fear of social isolation activates the same neural machinery as the fear of genuine threats to survival" is an accessible paraphrase of this finding, consistent with the broader social pain literature (e.g., Eisenberger, Lieberman, & Williams, 2003), though Berns' paper does not use that exact language. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15978553/ "engineer Roger Boisjoly and his team at Morton Thiokol had the data": Roger M. Boisjoly, "Ethical Decisions — Morton Thiokol and the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster" (paper presented at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Annual Meeting, December 13–18, 1987). First presented as a talk at MIT in January 1987. Boisjoly, a specialist in O-ring seals and rocket joints at Morton Thiokol, documented how engineers recommended against the January 28, 1986 launch based on concerns about O-ring performance in cold temperatures. During the pre-launch teleconference, Thiokol management called an off-line caucus, excluded the engineers, and reversed the no-launch recommendation under pressure from NASA. Boisjoly described the forum as constituting "the unethical decision-making forum" driven by customer pressure. He was awarded the Prize for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Nemeth, In Defense of Troublemakers: The Power of Dissent in Life and Business (New York: Basic Books, 2018). Nemeth's research program at UC Berkeley, spanning four decades, demonstrated that exposure to minority dissent stimulates divergent thinking, broader information search, consideration of more alternatives, and higher-quality group decisions. The finding that dissent improves group performance even when the dissenter turns out to be wrong is documented across multiple studies. See also Charlan J. Nemeth, "Minority Influence Theory," IRLE Working Paper No. 218-10 (Berkeley: Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, May 2010). https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1pz676t7 "Decades of research by Moscovici": Serge Moscovici, Elisabeth Lage, and Martine Naffrechoux, "Influence of a Consistent Minority on the Responses of a Majority in a Color Perception Task," Sociometry 32, no. 4 (December 1969): 365–380. In the original experiment, participants viewed blue slides while two confederates consistently called them green. The consistent minority condition produced a shift in approximately 8 percent of majority judgments toward the minority position, and roughly one-third of participants conformed at least once. In the inconsistent minority condition, the effect was negligible (approximately 1.25 percent). The script's claim that "minority voices don't just influence people in the moment — they shift perception afterward, in private" draws on Moscovici's subsequent conversion theory and research on the delayed and private effects of minority influence, including afterimage studies showing genuine perceptual shifts. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2786541 "Nemeth tested what happens when dissent is assigned rather than authentic": Charlan J.

Groups deliberated a personal injury case under three conditions: authentic dissent (a genuine minority viewpoint), assigned devil's advocate (a member told to argue the opposing side), and no dissent. Authentic dissent was superior in stimulating consideration of opposing positions, original thought, and direct attitude change. The devil's advocate condition did not produce the same cognitive benefits, suggesting that groups detect and discount performative disagreement. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1559-1816.2001.tb02481.x.
