In part two of this series of episodes on my personal motherhood journey, I discuss the feelings that come up in early motherhood, such as feeling as though we are 'failing' as a mother, simply because our baby is not 'behaving' or fitting into the expectation that we had for him/her. In my opinion, even if we are unaware of it, we may believe this story that our role as mothers should be completely consuming and self-sacrificing, leaving us with no time to even think of our own interests, needs and desires. Along with that, we may link being this self-sacrificing, consumed mother with being a ‘good mother'. And this thinking starts so early. I explore the themes of mother guilt, mother anger, the perfect mother myth, co-regulation, the mother-baby dyad and the basics of a human relationship. It also offers some real life examples of what I hear mother's say in conversations when holding a measuring stick towards their own mothering. Please reach out if you'd like to share, or get some clarity around this topic. Much love, Keturah xxhttps://www.instagram.com/motherhoodwithketurah/

Thoughts on the readings for January 14th (Genesis 25 and 26 Psalm 31 and Matthew 16) Genesis 25 tells that Abraham took another wife, called Keturah. We are not sure at what time Keturah became Abraham's wife; but, she bare him 6 sons. These sons became the progenitors of many of the Arab nations – already we see Abraham has becoming the “father of a multitude (or “many nations”)”. They were sent eastward enriched with gifts from the great patriarch. Abraham died at the age of 175 and was buried in the cave of Machpelah by his sons Isaac and Ishmael. From verses 12-18 we have the genealogy of Ishmael from whom descended 12 princes. From verses 19-28 of Genesis 25 we are told that Rebekah had great problems in conception and once pregnant she experienced a trying time. Rebekah enquired of Yahweh (probably through the priest) about the wrestlings within her; and was told she would give birth to twins, who would be very different and, that the elder twin would serve the younger. Esau was born hairy, or fully developed. He was red haired and so called Esau, which means red. The younger twin was born grasping the heel of his twin. He was named Jacob meaning heel grabber. The difference between them was evident from their early days with Jacob being “a plain (upright) man dwelling in tents (a sojourner like his fathers)”; whilst Esau was an energetic, active man – a man's man; an athletic hunter. Rebekah favoured Jacob (her son); whilst Isaac loved Esau – who he perhaps envied, as Esau was everything that Isaac was not. After returning from his hunting without any prey Esau, claiming to be starving, sold his birthright to his spiritually ambitious brother, Jacob for a bowl of red lentils. This story indicated Esau had no love of the promises and not a skerrick of spirituality (see the comments in Hebrews 12 verses 14 to17). In Genesis 26 God repeats the Abrahamic promise to Isaac. There was a famine in the Land and Isaac was told to sojourn and trust in the Almighty to provide. From verse 6 we see Isaac journeying to the land of the Philistines, where he like his father (Abraham) lied about his wife; because of fear for his own life. But after being seen acting as a husband, Isaac is rebuked by the Philistine king Abimelech. How incredible that great men of faith should so fail – but as James tells us, they were of like passions (and weaknesses) to ourselves. Abimelech charged his people to act honourably to Rebekah. Isaac sowed in that country and reaped an abundant harvest. Isaac, like Abraham, became rich and powerful; and was envied by the Philistines. All the wells that had been dug by Abraham were filled with earth by these lazy and envious men. Isaac was instructed to move away and he relocated to Gerar. There Isaac again dug his father's well and the Philistines quarrelled over the water. The well was named Esek, meaning “contention”. So Isaac moved on and dug another well, named Sitnah (meaning “a quarrel”), as this again was the consequence of finding water. He moved once more and dug for and found water at Rehoboth (meaning “room”). This water was uncontested. Finally he moved to Beersheba (“the well of the covenant”), where Yahweh repeated to Isaac the promise to Abraham in verse 24. The chapter finishes with a covenant being made between Isaac and Phicol, captain of the Philistine army. After a feast in which the Philistines acknowledge Isaac to be “blessed of Yahweh”, there is an exchange of oaths Isaac settled in Beersheba and dwelt there with the well of the covenant providing their needs as had their Sustainer and Protector. The 31st Psalm is a Psalm of David which focuses on Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ). The Almighty was David's place of refuge and Rock of trust – and to a greater extent was this true for the Son of God. Despite opposition from the evil workers the Lord, in particular (and David by type) had remained steadfast and immovable. Despite appearances to the contrary our Lord was victorious (Colossians 2 verses 11 to 15) in the strife. The balance of the Psalm outlines the disappointment of the writer, as revealing the mind of our Lord, with the villainy and corruption of his foes; and Jesus' trust of his Sovereign's loving care and capacity to deliver. Slowly read aloud verses 12 to14 and meditate upon the power of Messiah's faith and trust. Because of the LORD's faithfulness the righteous was delivered and the wicked assured of divine recompense. The take home message from this Psalm is expressed in verses 23 and 24: “Love Yahweh all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for Yahweh” (ESV version). The 16th chapter of Matthew shows the incapacity of the nation's rulers to see what was happening in their midst. This is followed by a treatise on the deception contained in corrupt teachings; whose pervasive influence rapidly permeates like leaven. Next comes the greatest confession by Peter, upon which rock-like foundation the entire ecclesia is built – namely, that “Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God” (see John 6 verses 68 and 69, Ephesians 2 verse 20 and 21). This is followed by an explicit explanation of his coming sufferings, death and resurrection on the third day. A final appeal is made to each believer to take up his/her cross and follow Jesus.

Keturah didn't know it, but when she hid in her family's stable that dark, star-filled night, she was in for a big surprise! Regularly cast aside because of her crippled hands, God had carefully chosen this young, Hebrew girl to be part of His miraculous entrance into the world! The Innkeeper's Daughter is a tender, whimsical story that gives you a glimpse of what might have happened in the stable on the night Jesus was born. Written and narrated by Jill Briscoe, children and adults will be captivated by her vivid descriptions of the stable and the many unusual visitors who came. Follow little Keturah inside the cramped, smelly barn and see what she saw: talking animals, chubby angels, regal wise men, and ultimately, the King of Kings, whose coming wasn't the only miracle that night!

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Chayyai Sarah [Genesis 23:1-25:18] begins with the death of Sarah and the acquisition of the Cave of Makhpelah from Efron the Hittite. This sale and consequent burial of Sarah establishes Abraham's claim to the land, for he now is the legal owner of a plot of land. The largest section of the parashah is devoted to finding a wife for Isaac. Avraham sends his servant, whom the rabbis identify as Eliezer, back to his ancestral homeland to find a wife amongst his kin, with the proviso that the servant may bring the woman back to Canaan, but under no circumstances is he to take Isaac to the ancestral homeland. This story, and in particular the oath with which Avraham sends off his servant, provides the basis for our conversation this week. Chapter 25 narrates the subsequent marriage of Avraham to Keturah, whom the rabbis identify as Hagar, and the birth of 6 more sons. In turn, Avraham dies and is buried, and Ishmael dies as well, clearing the way for next week's parashah which focuses on Isaac and his family. On the 411th day of the war, we continue to be mindful of the hostages, may they be returned speedily to their families, and the soldiers defending Israel as members of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.

Genesis 25 provides a transitional chapter in the Bible, weaving together the concluding events of Abraham's life and the beginning of the stories of his descendants, especially Isaac, Jacob, and Esau. Here's an in-depth overview: 1. Abraham's Later Life and Death (Verses 1-11) •Marriage to Keturah: After Sarah's death, Abraham marries Keturah, and they have several children: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. These children become the ancestors of various groups, expanding Abraham's lineage beyond Isaac and Ishmael. •Inheritance Decisions: While Abraham provides gifts to his children with Keturah, he ensures that Isaac is the primary heir, symbolizing God's promise passing through Isaac. •Death and Burial: Abraham dies at 175, “full of years,” and is buried by his sons Isaac and Ishmael in the cave of Machpelah, where Sarah was also laid to rest. •Blessing of Isaac: Following Abraham's death, God blesses Isaac, reaffirming the covenant through him. 2. The Genealogy of Ishmael (Verses 12-18) •Descendants: The chapter lists the twelve sons of Ishmael, fulfilling God's promise that Ishmael would become the father of twelve princes, leading to distinct tribes and nations. •Settlement: Ishmael's descendants spread from Havilah to Shur, creating a vast network of tribes east of Egypt. •Death of Ishmael: Ishmael lives to be 137 and dies, marking a transition in the narrative focus from his line to that of Isaac. 3. Birth of Esau and Jacob (Verses 19-26) •Isaac and Rebekah's Struggle with Infertility: Isaac prays for his wife Rebekah, who is barren, and God answers, allowing her to conceive. •Prophecy of the Twins: During her pregnancy, Rebekah feels great struggle within her womb and seeks God's guidance. God tells her that she is carrying two nations, foreshadowing the intense rivalry between her sons. God also reveals that the older (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob), reversing traditional expectations of inheritance and status. •The Birth: Esau, the firstborn, is described as red and hairy. Jacob follows, holding Esau's heel, symbolizing his eventual role in surpassing Esau. 4. Esau Sells His Birthright to Jacob (Verses 27-34) •Growing Personalities: Esau becomes a skillful hunter, embodying a rugged, impulsive spirit, while Jacob is more reserved, staying close to the tents. •Parental Favoritism: Isaac favors Esau, likely due to his hunting skills, while Rebekah favors Jacob, setting up a future family dynamic filled with tension and favoritism. •The Birthright Exchange: One day, Esau returns from the field, famished, and begs Jacob for some of his lentil stew. Jacob seizes the opportunity to negotiate, asking Esau to sell his birthright (his position as firstborn) in exchange for the food. Driven by hunger and impatience, Esau agrees, disregarding the significance of his inheritance. This impulsive decision foreshadows future conflicts and Esau's disregard for his privileged role in the family. Key Themes and Insights in Genesis 25 •God's Faithfulness and Covenant: The chapter continues to highlight God's unwavering commitment to the covenant with Abraham, as it now passes to Isaac and prepares to be carried on through Jacob. •The Role of Free Will and Destiny: Esau's decision to sell his birthright reflects themes of free will, while God's prophecy to Rebekah suggests that destiny and divine will also shape human events. •Family Dynamics and Rivalry: The favoritism shown by Isaac and Rebekah introduces the tension that will later develop between Jacob and Esau, symbolizing the complex relationships that will define Israel's story. Genesis 25 serves as a foundational text for understanding the unfolding story of Israel, focusing on the covenant lineage and God's sovereign plan, while also presenting the human choices and conflicts that shape biblical history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In episode 20 of the Birth Like a Mammal™ podcast, Lindsay sits down with Keturah Pawlik. Keturah is a doula and Mother of six. Originally from New York, she now lives in West Palm Beach with her family. Keturah believes in the power of storytelling and in sharing our wisdoms with others, offering a new perspective or lending our strength when it's needed most.In this episode, Keturah and Lindsay dive deep into the crucial support systems for both Mothers and Fathers during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, highlighting the often-neglected emotional needs and hormonal changes experienced by Fathers. Keturah shares her six birthing experiences, emphasizing the importance of Mothers feeling supported by their partners and how we can help Fathers to do so. She makes the point that many marital/relationship issues that come up years after birth can usually be traced back to a baby's birth. The episode concludes with actionable advice and resources. Both Lindsay and Keturah have created resources and workshops tailored for dads, such as Lindsay's Dad Doula class, to equip them better for becoming a Father and foster a healthy family dynamic. Keturah offers a workshop for dads in Florida, promoting a collaborative and supportive approach to preparing for a new baby. Key Points:Fathers carry birth trauma too, and are often not asked to talk about it. A healthy Father bodes a healthy Mother. A societal shift is needed to support men entering Fatherhood.The environment where birth takes places directly affects birth. Notable Quotes:“While pregnancy and the postpartum period should really be the safest time in a woman's life, for many women here, it could be the most dangerous time they'll ever go through if they don't have a partner who is on board, and who is whole.” - Keturah“Men need a doula just as much as women do.” - Keturah“A peaceful calm birth, you get a peaceful individual and it completely rewires how you approach your whole life.” - Keturah“Hospital birth is like going to McDonald's and trying to have a fine dining experience.” - Keturah“The more tools you give dads, the more confident they are.” - LindsayWhere to find Keturah:Winging it with KetInstagramEmail: Wingingitwithket@gmail.comSHOW MENTIONS:Lindsay on Keturah's Podcast EpisodeContribute to the Dad Doula book!Be Her Village5 Things to Ask Your Care Provider PDFSupport the showQuestions?Looking for further support during pregnancy?Reach out at join@birthlikeamammal.com for birth support and other resources.

As we come to the end of Abraham's life, the account of his death and burial is in between two “rejected genealogies”. The genealogy of Keturah's sons and Ishmael. Twice we will be reminded that Isaac is the one blessed by God, who will inherit the covenant promises. The natural questions are, what is the purpose of mentioning these “rejected genealogies”? What makes Isaac so special? What is the Lord revealing about Himself?

In Mark 9, we find a father who is desperate to get help for his son. He prays a prayer that we've all prayed, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” Because our belief is imperfect we cry out for help. But that cry comes from a place of belief in our good and sovereign God. Faith starts by simply turning toward Jesus. Elder Keturah Reed will share the message, "Imperfect Faith."

Keturah Orji is a paraplanner at SeedSafe Financial and a three-time Olympian who is competing today in Paris.

Listen in as Keturah shares her dual journey in financial planning and athletics, revealing how her early recognition of athletic ability has led her to compete in her third Olympic Games in Paris. She discusses how a suggestion from her boyfriend to take a financial planning class sparked her interest, leading her to pursue a master's degree in financial planning and aim for the CFP designation.

God Changes Timelines (audio) David Eells 7/31/24  By popular request I am sharing this again with our larger audience with some added proof. Dream of God Reversing a Timeline  Anna Stewart 7/22/24 (David's notes in red)  Keep in mind this dream is a parable about Babylon's fall but also God's miraculous ability to change timelines.  Last night I dreamed that an enormous sinkhole had opened up in a valley between two mountains in a mountainous area. Simultaneously, the entire mountainside of one of the mountains slid into the sinkhole. There was a mountain road on the mountain side and all the cars on it were swallowed by the sinkhole. I knew there were about 1,000 people buried in their cars in the earth. It was catastrophic. (Mountains many times represent Kingdom's. The Kingdom of DS Babylon as a Dragon swallowed up God's people and others but God made them cough them up and reversed their captivity. Jer 51:34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel (Most of God's people are empty Christians; not filled with the Word or the Holy Spirit.), he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out. … 44 And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.)  It happened on the eleventh of the month. (11 represents Judgment and False Flags like 9-11. Both sides have used False Flags in this war.) It was in the news, and they were detailing the difficulty of carrying out rescues, because the ground was still unstable. They were trying to get in there to dig vehicles out, but it was very risky and they were moving slowly for fear of losing the rescue crews into the sinkhole. (The Alliance has moved very carefully to extract people, including Christians, from the Dragon's captivity. This is because many have lost their lives in becoming witnesses of Babylon's sins. Three hundred plus; people were killed to shut up witnesses of JFK's assassination.)  It was then the 19th of the month—8 days after the incident—and little progress had been made. (19 represents the end of a faction war, where we are now, when David had lost 19 men. 2Sa 2:30 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel. And we lost a few to the faction murders. But 8 is the number of “new beginnings” which then came to David and is now coming for us.) While we were gathered together, David Eells suggested we all put our faith together for these people and believe God for a different timeline. I wasn't sure what exactly God would do, but we believed together that He would move on behalf of the people to save them. (The timeline under Babylon DS gave way to the timeline under the Cyrus/Trump of the Medo Persian Empire of the Alliance and is nothing short of miraculous. This is darkness to light. We are going back many years to a republic. The next morning, when we all woke up, we were shocked to see on our phones that the day was the 11th! The sinkhole had never happened, nothing about it was on the news, and no one had been killed. No one knew that anything had ever happened or that time had reversed. We couldn't even tell anyone because no one was aware of it. For the rest of the world, nothing had ever happened—tomorrow had never happened.   (As far as the government is concerned, there has been a flip of timelines. Cyrus Trump is in charge of the world and we will soon know it. We got this by faith at random in this morning's prayer meeting. Ezr. 1:1-3 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem. This is not to say that there will not be guerilla warfare by the cornered rats. Things like anarchy, invaders, earthquakes, plague, hacking, etc. will come but there will be a new sheriff in town to deal with them and they will ultimately lose.)  We were all just in awe of how awesome God was to do this for these people. I knew two of them were associated with Matt's workplace. It really amazed me because these were not all known to be God's people, and yet the compassion of God reached out and changed time to save all these people through our faith. (And a Man-child reformer revival is coming for them.)  End of dream. Praise the Lord! John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. (God is showing us this timeline change so that we could be encouraged to believe Him to do this again.)    God Changes Timelines David Eells 7/31/24 There is abundance of Biblical proof that negative timelines can be stopped, reversed and then brought forward in a positive timeline. People in the timeline parameters would not necessarily know this happened for they are IN the timeline.  First let's look at the fact that God stopped a timeline so that things could be changed for the people of God to have victory over their enemies. Jos 10:6-15 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us. 7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.   8 And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. (How was He going to accomplish this.) 9 Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night. 10 And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.   11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.   12 Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. (Our timeline is the Earth circling the Sun and the Earth rotating before the Sun. If these movements cease so does time.)  Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. (This missing day and the sundial reversing was recorded by witnesses at NASA when they discovered the missing time in the timeline and a Christian pointed out this text as their answer. Of course the wicked have done everything they could to erase this miracle ever since.) 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of a man (However, Biblical history proves God changed timelines at least several times in different ways.): for Jehovah fought for Israel. 15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.  God reversed Hezekiah's and Jerusalem's timeline to heal him and save Jerusalem from the Beast. Then he brought them forward in a good timeline of restoration. Isa 38:1-9 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. (Notice on his timeline he would surely have died.) And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah, 3 and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.   4 Then came the word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. (Here is the promise of a believers timeline.) 6 And I will deliver thee and this city (Notice the parameter of the timeline change can be localized to a person, city, mountain landslide, etc. The Lord told me this a couple of months ago as I will explain later.) out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:   (Here is the sign of the reversal of time by reversal of the earth's rotation, which is a reversal of our time.) 8 behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down. (A reversal of the negative timeline which recovered his health.) 9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.  Here it is again so we have two witnesses with some things added. 2Ki 20:8-11 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of Jehovah the third day? 9 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps. (He thought he would make it hard on God. :0) 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Jehovah; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.  Here is another instance of a reversal of time to bring restoration. Most only see this as spiritual. However this happened to Israel in their restoration as a nation and it will happen to the Church in their restoration of spiritual Israel to “one holy nation”. Eze 37:1-14 The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. (Bodies that were long dead.)  3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest. (Watch as a reversal of time brings them back to life.) 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. 5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. (Watch as piece upon piece is restored just as they rotted but in reverse.)   6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake.  (An earthquake was the same sign that was given when Jesus, the Man-child, resurrected and the out-resurrection of the saints long dead resurrected with Him. If we reverse the curse timeline, which Jesus did, you get a resurrection. This out-resurrection is the same sign that will happen with the spiritual resurrection of Jesus in the Man-child reformers because history always repeats (Ecc 1:9). NENT Php 3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his :resurrection, and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death; 11 if somehow I may attain unto the out-resurrection from the dead.);  Back to Eze 37:7and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath (This Hebrew word is also Spirit), and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. (As we see resurrection is a reversal of a cursed timeline step by step and it is accomplished by faith and the Holy Spirit.)  11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel (Which is a type for the Church): behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. 12 Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.  (Which also happened when Jesus resurrected at the out-resurrection. We find this in Mat. 27:50-53 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.)  Back to Eze 37:13 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. 14 And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.  (Now we know this resurrection is spiritual and represents a revival. But a revival is more than spiritual in that they bring healing and deliverance to the body and resurrections of the dead and many other physical miracles if true preaching is there. But the physical aspect is clear too.  I was speaking with one of my angels named, Gregory, meaning, “watchful, alert”. I had been thinking of several big trees that had fallen on my property probably due to aluminum chemtrailed on them that rots them from the core. The outside of them looked great. I said to him that since I am not under the curse could they resurrect them. We know the answer is “yes” because Jesus said in Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them. BTW, This is looking back for a future answer. But I was curious what he would say.  He said they could reverse the timeline of those trees back to when they were healthy and then bring them forward on a good timeline so they would be large again. I had seen that changing timelines could happen within the parameters that were needed, big or small. This is as we saw, Hezekiah or Jerusalem. Also this is done by faith. Hezekiah received faith when the sign of the sundial time was reversed. Wouldn't you?  Our missionaries were being killed in the Middle East because they were using our books to convert very quickly, people from other religions whose leaders were very jealous, competitive, factious and murderers. Even their leaders were being converted. It was amazing that some of these believed they were Christians but they obviously were not reading the Bible. I was in contact with the leader of our missionaries and the elders by email as they were hiding from the murderers.  The Lord through His angels were killing groups of the enemies when they endangered the Christians. There were no wounds on them, they just fell dead like the 14 satanists that had been attacking us. The leader of the largest group of killers complained to me that we were killing their people; what hypocrisy! I told him that “none of their people have seen a weapon in the hands of our brethren there. They have not even defended themselves. So that leaves you with one other choice. The angels of God are killing you.” Which of course was not acceptable because that would make him and his murderers wicked.  I was emphasizing faith to the missionary leaders and the converts so that the Lord would act on their behalf. One verse I asked them to pass around and put into action was Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (BTW, they too are believing for the out-resurrection.) Then we began to see in the emails from overseas parallel timelines very clearly. One we called the believers timeline and the other we called the double minded timeline. Kathleen, Michael, Brandy, and myself all witnessed this in the emails. God was showing us this parable to share with people. A person in the believers timeline began to be protected from enemies who eventually fled. They ended up being fed, encouraged, their health began to recover, housing, prosperity, and they went back to work in the ministry, etc. Whereas a person in the double minded timeline would have just the opposite; they were conquered by the enemy or captured, hungry, sick, discouraged, gave up the ministry and were sometimes converted to the enemies error, no housing or prosperity, and sometimes death. They cried to us but we were not able to help them; why?  Well, it says in Jas 1:5-8 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.  Sometimes people would change timelines for better and sometimes for worse. Some became angry in their tribulation and fell away to faction and died in the fallen timeline. Those on the believers timeline who endured in their faith are now prosperous, while their enemies either fled or sided with them. They are in their own homes and are literally bringing in hundreds of thousands of converts even though their country persecutes and disallows Christianity.  Another example of a reversal of time bringing regeneration is the story of Abraham and Sarah. They were both past the age for bearing children.   Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her. 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 19 And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him. 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.  Gen 18:9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13 And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old? 14 Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.  Sarah was then 90 years old and was so beautiful that King Abimelech in Gen 20:2, mistakenly took her to be his wife, and then Isaac was born in Gen 20:1-2. When Sarah died Abraham took another wife and raised another family of six children. Gen 25:1 And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.  Gen 25:8 And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.  Another example, we have two neighbors who were preachers of a non-spirit-filled religion and taught their people to go to man because that is how God does His works now. Both were dying as we were told a lot of those people who listened to them were too. We preached healing to them but they wouldn't listen. One just died of a blood clot suddenly; sound familiar? The other was dying of turbo-cancers one after another that spread like lightening through his body. Sound familiar? The one with the blood clot had just seen an astounding creative miracle happen in front of his face and still couldn't believe it.  The short version is this: We had a very long PVC suction line going about 700' from the meter to the pump on our property that pushed the water up our mountain. The head pressure against the pump was extreme. But the city backflushed the line and blew the couplings off of the PVC pipe under the ground so the pump was getting zero water. The city man at the meter said the water was coming towards us wide open, he could hear it rushing through the meter, but we got not a drop at the pump.  The pump had burned up and the motor got water in it and went zero to ground and smoked the windings. There is no natural repair for this, you have to rewind the motor and rebuild the pump and the pipe leaks could not be found under a jungle of small trees. This equipment was in a concrete sarcophagus with a concrete lid to cover it. This was a literal grave and Michael, Brandy, and I were looking down into it feeling like the patient had just died. But Jesus had a plan!   What came to me was “Let's throw the lid on it and go up to the house and turn the breaker and water on so we did. When we got home I said, “Let's throw the breaker on, I am going to take a shower”. So Michael threw the breaker and I got in the shower and opened the faucet and it came full force and I hollered at Michael, “We've got water!!!” The preacher asked us how we fixed it because he saw the whole thing. We said, “We didn't, God Did”. He didn't say a word and walked away.  Father gave grace through faith, a gift from God. Eph 2:7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: 8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, that no man should glory. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.  If we are limited to man's works we may not live through the wilderness. After the wilderness one should believe in miracles because that was all that saved them. Jer 17:5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.   7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.  Looking back I have wondered what method God used to heal the line, pump and motor. Could it have been a time reversal? Well something just happened a few weeks ago that makes me think so. I asked the angels to put my water bill on autopay, and I thought they had, but they did not, and now I know why. This was for the glory of God! Anyway, we ran up a two month bill and they shut off the water without warning us to shut down our pump. A ten-stage water pump must have suction pressure or it will tear up, which it did. Brandy went and paid the water bill and they turned the water back on and that's when we discovered they had destroyed the pump.  Now if you want to believe the angels just float around on clouds and do nothing, listen no further or believe this: Heb 1:13-14 But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet? (No, the angels are servants.) 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? (They serve us when we agree with the Word and speak it.) Psa 103:20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. So if you agree with the Word you can understand what I am going to say here.  I asked the angels to go and change the motor and pump out. I knew they wouldn't charge anything and we didn't have the money either. I got curious about their method so I asked angel Gregory. “Did you turn the water off?” He said “No”. I thought, “They are changing the pump out and the suction water pressure is on? Are they working under water? How does that work?” So I asked, “Did you shut the electricity off?” He said, “No”. I thought “at least angels don't get electrocuted.” I thought, “But you have to take the motor and pump out of line to change it.”  Then it came to me! I said, “Did you reverse the time to restore the pump and motor while they were still in line.” He said, “Yes”. The fact is, the water pump is now putting out better volume and pressure than ever. Angels are creatures of few words. They just let you work through all your thoughts while helping you to come to a conclusion. I guess we learn better that way. They also need you to walk by faith and speak faith so they can do their work. Michael and Brandy were trusting with me and are witnesses of these things. Gregory read this and agreed with this testimony.  Even time and the curse cannot be a hindrance to us if we learn this one key. Mark 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. (24) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.  Science has proven this text through Quantum Physics or Mechanics. In the quantum, subatomic particle area, which is everywhere all around you, there are only possibilities and probabilities. Things don't work like you think they should. Nothing is there until you look. All that exists is only an infinite number of possibilities. (Remember Jesus said, “All things are possible to him that believes,” Mark 9:23). Whereas gravity works whether anyone is present or not (a tree falls down, not up, even if no one observes it).  Subatomic particles are not there unless someone (an observer) looks for them. We can't really know what they're doing, or even if they exist when we are not looking. It is possible that they “are not.” 1Co 1:28 says that God has chosen the “things that are not to bring to naught things that are.” How can a thing not be? This scripture makes no sense at all until you bring it down to the atomic level. All things are made up of atoms, which are made of subatomic particles.  These particles are not really particles because they exist only in a state of possibilities until someone observes them at which point they appear as a particle. If that sounds crazy, read Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. When you hope for something, where does it exist? Only in your mind and heart. It “is not”, it is only a possibility. Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear. “…so that what is being observed has not come out of what is appearing.”  (What is visible). This is a statement that could have been made by a physicist! What makes it appear? You, the observer, with faith that gives substance to your hopes and dreams. Faith observes that which “is not,” and gives it substance so that it may appear and become visible, The key to manifesting matter, is to interact with that which “is not” so that it becomes what you hope for. Your expectations and beliefs (or what you observe) is of primary importance. If you observe and expect failure, sickness or disaster, that is exactly what will manifest. There are an infinite number of possibilities that exist for your life. You alone have the power to choose which possibility becomes reality in your life. Choose wisely. 

“I think silent killer is perfect for me. I put so much energy and effort into this. I've really been pursuing greatness, so when I get out there and don't do what I want to do, it's clear. You can see it on my face that I'm not happy.

Scripture Passage: Genesis 25-33 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to The post Jacob & Esau appeared first on IBC Saginaw.

GENESIS Lesson 24 – Chapter 25 This week we continue our study of Genesis 25. Let's start by reading Gen. 25:12-18 READ GEN 25:12-18 We ended last week taking a brief look at the descendants of Keturah, one of Abraham's concubines.

Abraham’s Death and His Descendants 25 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan.

“The main reason for studying the black presence in the Bible is because if we can't accept that our Bible is a multicultural book, how can we accept multicultural churches? It is difficult to see the black presence in the Bible because you won't read the terms black or African but you will read the terms Ethiopians, Cushites, Egyptians, Hebrews, or other tribal terms. Ethiopia is mentioned 45 times in the Bible; add this to the number of times Egypt is mentioned, and Africa is mentioned more than any other landmass in the Bible. It should also be noted that the "Middle East," including the Holy Land was connected to Africa until 1859 when the Suez Canal was completed and had been referred to North East Africa for the majority of modern history. From Genesis to Revelation there is a great deal of proof that blacks are present throughout the Bible: In the Hebrew, Adam (or Ahdahm) is defined as swarthy, dusky, reddish-brown soil, dark-skinned like a shadow. Aphar: The soil from which Adham was made, meaning: dust, clay, always very black or very dark brown in color. (The Biblical History of Black Mankind by C. McGhee Livers) The Garden of Eden was described in Genesis as having been near a four-river system in the region of the lands of Cush, Havilah, and Asshur, which today would be near the borders of Eastern Sudan, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. The birthplace of humanity was confirmed when the oldest human remains were found in Ethiopia in 1974. Science and the Bible are often at odds, but one thing both confirm is that the birthplace of humanity was in East Africa. (Eden: The Biblical Garden Discovered in East Africa by Gert Muller) Many of the Hebrew patriarchs married or had children with women from African tribes. Abraham had children with Hagar and Keturah both from African (Hamitic) tribes. Moses married Zippora, who was Ethiopian. Jacob had children with two handmaidens from African tribes, and these children became the patriarchs of two tribes of Israel. Studying the black presence in the Bible can open the door to discussions about racial justice and dispel the myth that the Bible is the "white man's book." It is this myth that has kept many people of color from the gospel. By whitewashing the Bible, we prevent future generations from experiencing the beauty of the biblical text. Black people should know that they have always played a central role in God's plan for humanity and were not an afterthought of the creator.” -https://sojo.net/articles/faith-action/black-presence-bible-uncovering-hidden-ones. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Abraham leaves Isaac an inheritance and his other sons gifts.  Keturah: concubine or wife?  Blessed man of Psalm 1. Program: Biblically Speaking Aired: December 28, 2013

As Abraham's life comes to an end, we may feel disappointed...there is much we do not know and much left unfinished. When we meet Abraham in Genesis 12, he was already 75 years old. We learned about his life from ages 75 to 99. Then, four chapters are devoted to one year of his life: the year Isaac was born. The last three chapters cover an additional 75 years in which we are given minimal detail. What does all this tell us? From a human perspective, Abraham was somewhat ordinary. He was the head of a small household that lived nomadically around Canaan. He was surely one of many who lived in a similar way. He did not become a king or major political figure. He did not create any monuments or build any large structures. Yet, he was devoted to the Lord. In turn, God made big promises to Abraham. God's call of Abraham and the promise bestowed upon Isaac are key elements. Abraham's pivotal years were spent living as if those promises would come true. Even by the end of his life, he saw just the beginnings of their fulfillment. Genesis 25 describes Abraham's death and burial. After the birth of Isaac, he had six more sons through his wife Keturah (vv. 1–2). He would send each son off with gifts, but he would not make them co-heirs with Isaac in accordance with God's direction (vv. 5–6). At his death, Isaac and Ishmael came together to mourn their father (v. 9). Today, we know that Abraham's story played an important role in God's redemptive plan. The promises God made to Abraham and his descendants would come true and ultimately be fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. As for us, we are only halfway through the book of Genesis. We'll learn more when we study Part Two later this year. Go Deeper What stories in Genesis have left the biggest impact on you?

For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But as it is, Christ2 has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. 8 For he finds fault with them when he says:3   “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel    and with the house of Judah,9   not like the covenant that I made with their fathers    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.  For they did not continue in my covenant,    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.10   For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel    after those days, declares the Lord:  I will put my laws into their minds,    and write them on their hearts,  and I will be their God,    and they shall be my people.11   And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,'  for they shall all know me,    from the least of them to the greatest.12   For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,    and I will remember their sins no more.” 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

As a result of that relationship, God made an “everlasting covenant” with His special friend (Genesis 17:7,13,19; 1 Chronicles 16:16-18; Psalm 105:8-12; 118:9, etc.) that extended to Abraham's descendants for all time.This covenant involved (1) the promised land and (2) the promised Messiah. Only in the Messiah could God fulfill His pledge to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: “in thee [and in thy seed] shall all families [or nations] of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:3; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14). As for the land, God's promise was clear: “For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever” (Genesis 13:15); “...the LORD made a covenant with Abram,... Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river...Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18); “...all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession…” (Genesis 17:7-8).Abraham had several sons: Ishmael through his wife Sarah's Egyptian maid, Hagar; Isaac through his wife Sarah; and six others through Keturah, whom he married after Sarah died (Genesis 25:1-2).
