The National Union of Mineworkers is calling on Glencore and Samancor to stop looming job cuts and negotiate constructively. This follows Glencore's confirmation that it has triggered a Section 189 retrenchment process under the Labour Relations Act, effective from September 1st. The move impacts Boshoek and Wonderkop Smelters in Rustenburg, Rhovan Vanadium near Bethanie and the Carbon Division in Emalahleni. NUM has slammed the retrenchment plans as premature, disingenuous and deeply concerning for workers. Elvis Presslin spoke to Lefty Mashego, Num's Chief Negotiator

Jesus Delivers Us (13) (audio) David Eells – 8/31/25 Saints, I'm going to continue with our teaching on how Jesus delivers us and our authority over the demons. I'm going to pick up where we left off last time about the true and false manifestations of the Spirit and begin by sharing the following testimony called:   More Than We Can Imagine or Think by P.O. I was one of thousands of people who wanted to experience "revival" in Brownsville and Toronto. As a fairly new Christian, I wanted the excitement that I thought should come from living a life for God. My prayer during that time was: "Father, do whatever You need to do so that no man or no devil can ever quench my desire for You." The first few visits there, I came away somewhat frustrated. Every time a minister approached me, he would veer away and start the laying on of hands in another direction. I recognize now that this was the grace of God, keeping me from receiving wrong impartations. But one time when we were leaving, I forgot my cape. I returned for it and tried to walk through a large lobby full of people writhing on the floor. Something invisible hit me. I fell to the floor and felt heat, like electricity, start at my feet and work all the way up to my head. I became temporarily but totally paralyzed. A friend who had followed me reported afterward that he saw my eyes roll. This man, a medic in the army, picked me up in his arms to remove me. But the strapping, six-footer made it only to the outside steps. There he, too, was taken down to the ground by this spirit. When he dropped me, I rolled under a small tree. Looking up, I saw the stars like diamonds and trees in 3-D as if "the trees were indeed clapping their hands" as the Word describes. I wanted to praise God, but I was rendered incapable of doing anything but baying like one of my uncle's hound dogs. My heart goes out to my friends who visited the "revival." Three of them died prematurely. Another four of them divorced within a year. Several of them now have serious health concerns. In short, these people are anything BUT revived. With some of these friends, I tried gently to get them to look at the falsehoods. But no. It was like the old saying, "You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink." The times I tried, I encountered upturned noses, so to speak. My dearest friend, whom I met thirty-eight years ago, lived at one of the revival venues for months. She no longer returns my calls. I don't know why this is the case, since we aren't talking. But I suspect that she just couldn't handle the upturns that my life, and my children's lives, kept taking as opposed to her own. I'll always love her. She prayed for me when I wasn't even a believer. God will save her from this deception. At first I thought the experience had been the Holy Spirit. But, sparing the details, my life began to fall apart. I kept crying out for truth, the truth, nothing but the truth. Somehow, I was led via an internet science site to the e-book called "Sovereign God." I "inhaled" it. God's truth revealed in that book healed me of lifelong bouts of severe depression. Then, via the internet, I saw that people around the world were getting their vision healed. I thought, "God is no respecter of persons. Father, would you heal my vision?" It was a progressive miracle, full of dialogue with Him. After a trial of several months, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles pronounced me as having near-perfect vision. Father God also engineered that my unbelieving daughter would be present to hear the verdict. All my life, I'd had progressively poorer vision, ending with 20-200, which the state of Indiana considered as legally blind. God is able to do abundantly over and beyond what we can imagine or think. In His sovereignty, Father brought me through into the truth. He has orchestrated major periods of repenting and casting out of spirits revealed to me. By the grace of God, my marriage is thriving like never before. My blind eyes are healed. My depression is gone. I have hair now. I actually feel beautiful, but it's not of myself. It's Jesus, coming from the inside out. My children are fighting and winning for their marriages. I'm no longer fat. I have a room with a view. In this room, I help build God's Kingdom with the gifts He's given me. I'm welcomed at foreign airports with bouquets of flowers, like I'm some royal person. I'm surrounded by a vibrant company of other believers who cherish one another every day of the week. None of these blessings came as a result of the revival movement that so many people, including myself, touted for a while. All of these blessings are just "by-products" of a graceful God who loves me. He gave me the hunger and the unction to seek and find Him. Reading that blessing list, an unknowing person might say that I've won life's lottery. But it is all nothing compared to the fact that ... I have Jesus. I hope and pray you do, too. And here is another awesome testimony of God's amazing grace, called:   Delivered & Made Whole by C.M. As a young adult I was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr, chronic fatigue syndrome. For almost two years I would have to sleep at least twelve hours per day to barely function. Having visited every specialist, I was given no hope, other than just to deal with it and get rest. As a child I was taught about the Lord, even experiencing a vision of heaven at the age of seven years. I had been healed of a toothache during that vision. But when my dad left, our family fell apart, and our faith slowly faded away. By the time I was twenty-one years old, the Bible was in my closet, unread in years. One night I cried out to the Lord while remembering a story told to me when I was a child. A woman in the Bible was healed of her blood flow of twelve years. As I was begging the Lord to let me touch His garment just like that woman, I felt such a hot flow of heat through my body! I knew I was healed. The Lord let me feel that heat to help my faith. Within twenty-four hours, I felt completely better! I told everyone. People said it was just psychological—I had healed myself. But I knew better. I started reading my Bible as a babe in Christ. Almost two years later, I did join a church. I was reading the Bible regularly, but I started practicing yoga. I even became a yoga instructor, certified in sport yoga. I knew yoga had Eastern philosophies, but I thought if I just did the exercise part, I would be okay. I even asked my pastor. To my surprise, I had his support as long as it was just for exercise. Another elder even encouraged Tai Chi, another Eastern philosophy of exercise. Yoga was the pathway to all of the other Eastern philosophies: Tai Chi, hypnotherapy, and Reiki, the bringing of "energy" from the universe into your body. After two years of practicing yoga and getting involved with Reiki, I met a bold woman of Christ named Jane. She informed me of my backsliding. Jane insisted that I pray and get right with God and speak to her husband. He had knowledge of the occult. The word "backsliding" kept ringing in my ears from this woman. I had thought exercising was okay. After looking up the word "backsliding" in the concordance, I was directed to Jeremiah Chapters 3-6. The Lord showed me that night that I had left the Lord for the harlot. I felt the Lord's anger with me for what I was doing. After the Lord opened my eyes that night, I discarded everything that had to do with yoga: the music, clothes, DVDs, my teaching certification, books, equipment, mat, candles, etc. I quit teaching the next day. I visited Jane and her husband, who further explained how yoga is an occult practice. They prayed over me and anointed me with oil. We claimed that I was forgiven and that all the effects of this practice had left me. Praise God for His forgiveness, mercy and love. Now I have given my life to the Lord and have been walking with Him ever since! An undeserved blessing He gave me was a daughter, as I had not been able to have a child. According to the specialists, for fourteen months, I was not ovulating. Within two weeks of giving up yoga, I was pregnant. I am so grateful for God's love and forgiveness. David: Amen! Praise God for all His goodness towards us. It's important to remember that we must continue walking in Christ to obtain the fullness of His salvation. (Mat.24:13) But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. We have to continue in Him to receive what He's laid hold on us for. (Php.3:12) Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. He laid hold on us to manifest the fullness of Christ, and if we believe the Word, and we keep holding fast to the Word, we're going to enter into more and more of Christ. He is the Word. When we walk in Christ, we have faith to exercise the authority that He's passed on to us, but notice that although Jesus totally conquered the devil (Ephesians 1:20-22), we still see him. Why? It's because the devil still exercises authority. You may ask, "David, how is that possible?" Well, let's look at how that authority has been passed around. God never took back the authority over all creation that He gave to Adam in Gen.1:28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. But God didn't have to take it back; Adam gave it away to the devil! He gave it to the devil by virtue of the fact that he obeyed the devil. (Rom.6:16) Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? He made the devil his lord and gave him that authority. We know that the Bible says, "What we bind on earth is bound in heaven," so if the devil can talk us into believing he has authority, then he has it because we gave it to him. We loosed him by believing him, and we bound God by not believing Him, because God made the condition for receiving His benefits, which is our faith. Today, Adam's children have lost their authority because he gave it to satan. However, Jesus is called the "last Adam" because He is the father of the born again creation. Because He refused satan's authority He gained authority back and passed it on to His spiritual children. (1Co 15:22)  For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.  But Christians need faith to exercise this authority. What does the Bible say? (1Jn.3:21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; (22) and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. When we walk in Christ, we have faith to exercise our authority, faith to believe what the Bible says about the authority given to us. Adam was a natural man who was given authority over this natural creation. Jesus Christ was called a spiritual man, and He was given authority over this spiritual and natural creation. We just read about the authority God gave to Adam over this natural creation. Most Christians haven't entered into the authority that Adam had as a natural man, much less the authority that Jesus had as a spiritual man. We are supposed to have authority in both places, the natural and the spiritual. (1Co.15:45) So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. (46) Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. (47) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. (48) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (49) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, let us also bear the image of the heavenly. If your Bible has "we shall," it's wrong. There's probably a footnote that tells you the Greek says, "let us also bear the image of the heavenly." We have been given a command to bear "the image of the heavenly." God is not saying that "we shall" because that's not true. A lot of people are not going to bear the "image of the heavenly" because they're going to refuse to do that. We've borne "the image of the earthy" because we've been a natural man, like the first Adam, but to bear "the image of the heavenly" is to bear the Image of the spiritual Adam, Who is Jesus Christ. (Heb.2:5) For not unto angels did he subject the inhabited earth to come... If your Bible says, "the world to come," you probably have a footnote that says "the inhabited earth." This is the correct translation from the Greek according to the numeric pattern. Notice its "the inhabited earth to come" meaning the earth under and following Adam's authority.  (Heb.2:5) For not unto angels did he subject the inhabited earth to come, whereof we speak. (6) But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? What was "man"? That was Adam. And who was the "son of man"? That was Adam's children. Jesus was the Son of man and the Son of God. This is talking about both the natural Adam and the spiritual Adam. The spiritual "Adam" is Christ, and so then, who is the "son of man"? That is Christ's children. Adam and his children had authority, and if they hadn't fallen because of sin, they would still have that authority. Jesus has authority and all of His children have the same authority because He is an Adam. He's the Procreator of the whole race of the spiritual man. He's the (Rom.8:29) ... firstborn among many brethren. The Greek word there is adelphos, and it means "brothers." (Gal.3:26) For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. Through faith, we should be living up to our sonship; we should be exercising the authority of the first Son, Jesus Christ, our spiritual Father. (Heb.2:7) Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands. We found that was true of Adam, and it's still true. Jesus exercised authority over the works of God's hands. Just as Adam did in the natural before he fell; Jesus did in the spiritual and natural. There's a natural creation, and there's a spiritual creation beyond the natural creation. Adam had dominion over the works of God's hands; he exercised authority over all the earth, the beasts, the fish, the birds, and so on. However, there are other works of God's hands that Adam didn't know much about: the principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness, the spiritual creation of God (Ephesians 6:12). Because of what Jesus accomplished at the Cross, we've been given authority over not just the natural creation, but the spiritual creation. (Eph.1:19) And what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might (20) which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places], (21) far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (22) and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, (23) which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Notice that Jesus was the head of His body the Church but He put all things in subjection under the feet of His body. We have this authority as we follow the Head. Our authority over the natural creation and the spiritual creation is given by right of two facts. We have come from the first Adam, and we have come from the second Adam. Both of those have been given authority, and that authority has been passed on to us, but the only way you can exercise that authority is to believe what the Word of God says. All of this has been put under your feet; you have complete sovereignty over it as you follow the Head. (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. Notice: "Behold, I have given you authority ... over all the power of the enemy." Here's another witness that God has put all things in subjection under His feet: (Heb.2:8) Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. (Primarily, He was talking about Adam and his children. Secondarily, He's talking about Christ and His children.) But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. In other words, it's a fact that Jesus conquered the devil and gave us authority over him, but it's also a fact that we haven't exercised that authority. (Heb.2:9) But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man]. (10) For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory (These are His sons.), to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (11) For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one (We have one Father.): for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. So you see, we are sons of God first by faith and then by manifestation. Jesus, as the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:47), received this authority from God over all of creation, and we are in Him. As end-time saints, we are in Him as His body and even the lowest member, the "feet," have been given authority to "stomp" on the devil's kingdom. (Rom.16:20) And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. We've been given this authority, so what's the holdup here? The holdup is for us to be convinced about what the Bible says in black and white. It isn't a deep revelation; it's in the letter of the Word, and we need to step out and start exercising our authority according to His Word by faith. We have dominion over all the works of God's hand! It makes no sense to think God would have given this dominion to Adam, a physical, natural creation, but would not have given it to His spiritual creation, sons born after the Image of Jesus Christ. Start imagining yourself as a son of God with authority. See yourself that way. (Psa.8:4) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? (In other words, why would you pay any attention to man?) And the son of man (That's not only Adam, but his children. That's not only Christ, but His children.), that thou visitest him? (Psa.8:5) For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. (6) Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: (7) All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field, (8) The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. Do you remember when the disciples had been fishing all night without catching anything until the Lord commanded the fish into their net? (Joh.21:6) And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. And (Psa.8:9) O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Our words and actions must agree with God's Word. Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2 are parallel in speaking about Adam and his children, and Christ and His children, both having dominion over the work of God's hands. Everything Jesus said agrees with this. (Mat.18:18) Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Because we don't understand this principle, we are continually loosing the devil to terrorize us. We are continually loosing the curse to take dominion over us. We are continually doing this because we are disagreeing with the Word of God. This is what happens when we speak contrary to the Word of God, and we act contrary to the Word of God. Many of God's people don't yet understand that they have this authority to loose the devil. They loose him when they disagree with God's Word. They loose him when they agree with these spirits that rule over the lusts of the flesh. If you agree with them, they are going to rule over you, as with Adam and Eve. We have authority over the work of God's hands. We have authority over the things that God has given us. We have authority over our automobiles and our washing machines; literally anything we have stewardship of. It doesn't make any difference what it is; we have authority. Some of you have exercised your authority and commanded healing for people, and God healed them, or you've commanded healing over broken appliances or cars, and God healed them, too. What we have to do is be convinced that we have the authority of creative power in us. (Joh.20:21) Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. This means that the Father sent Jesus with authority over the works of His hands, and everywhere He went, He exercised authority. And He said, "Even so send I you." He sent us with that same authority. (Mat.28:18) And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go ye therefore... Why did He say that? He said it because He was passing that authority on to His disciples. (Mat 28:19)  Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: (Just in case you believe this was only for the Apostles, He addresses all nations of disciples saying this.) 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you (so we all have the authority they had.): and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  And in another Gospel He said in (Mar.16:17) And these signs shall accompany them that believe... "Them that believe" includes every believer. Every believer has authority in the second heaven, too. That's where Satan rules, and he reaches from the second heaven into the first heaven to rule as prince of the powers of the air in this world (Ephesians 2:2). We can read that here, where Jesus talks to Peter and the disciples. (Mat.16:18) And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (19) I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven... What Matthew 16:19 actually says in the original is "the kingdom of the heavens." Over in Matthew 18:18, which we've looked at, the word used is "heaven," singular, because it's only talking about the third heaven, but Matthew 16 is talking about all the "heavens," plural. It says in the Nestle's Text, the three most ancient manuscripts, "the kingdom of the heavens." It says in the Numeric English New Testament, "the kingdom of the heavens." Other translations just haven't copied it correctly. This verse correctly reads, (Mat.16:19) I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in the heavens... That means you are binding in the second heaven too. But even in the third heaven we bind or loose by unbelief or faith. The devil is hidden from us in the second heaven, another realm, and he rules from there as prince of the power of the air in the first heaven, but we have authority in the realm of the second heaven when we obey the principles of God's Word. (Mat.16:19) I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in the heavens. That doesn't say that we are going to destroy everything the devil does because God doesn't want to do that. God sent the devil here to administer the curse, such as when apostle Paul turned a man over to Satan (1Co.5:5) ... for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. God still does this today, so He doesn't want to destroy the power of the devil. God wants to destroy the power of the devil in the life of the believer. Jesus didn't give the keys to just Peter, as some people mistakenly read this verse. Jesus was talking to all of His disciples. (Mat.16:20) Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. What made Jesus speak of Peter in the first place? It was because of what Peter had spoken. (Mat.16:13) Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? (14) And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. (15) He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? (16) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. (18) And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. He wasn't talking about Peter alone. What was shown to Peter was the revelation that Jesus was the Son of God. This was the rock. Everybody who is saved has gotten that revelation. It is a foundational revelation. Everybody with that revelation has authority if they believe. This is the "key of David." (Isa.22:22) And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Everybody who is saved has the key of the Kingdom of Heaven but only a few will manifest it. (Rev.3:7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth. Jesus in the believer has the authority of the key of David. "And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." The name "Peter" is the Greek word petros, which means "a small rock or stone such as a man may throw." We are all one of these. But the Greek word for "rock" in this verse is petra, and it means "a huge mass of rock (a boulder), such as a projecting cliff." All of us small rocks who make up the body of Christ could also corporately be this huge Rock. Peter himself said that Jesus was the Rock. (1Pe.2:3) If ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious: (4) unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, (5) ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. (7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; (8) and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Peter said that we are "living stones" and all of the disciples are "living stones." Peter didn't believe that he was the huge Rock. We are living stones in God's building, and that whole building is petra, a mass of rock. Jesus is the foundation of the building of the Body of Christ. He is the Chief Corner Stone, which is missing from the Great Pyramid because He is in heaven, but that Chief Corner Stone also looks like the rest of the building, which is the body of Christ. He is the Foundation and the Head, the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8,11; 21:6; 22:13), and the many stones are His body, just like the Great Pyramid represents. [Note: According to Josephus, the Great Pyramid is a prophecy built by Enoch and his sons.] Peter didn't exercise any more authority than the rest of the apostles. God gave all of His disciples the authority to bind things in the second heaven (Ephesians 2:2), things in the third heaven (Matthew 24:31; 2 Corinthians 12:2), and things in the first heaven (Mark 13:27). God's peopare not doing the works of Jesus Christ because they don't realize this authority is also theirs. We need to get this understanding down in our hearts because the devil's been given authority from God to make war on the saints. God sent an adversary so that not only would we learn to fight, but we would learn to fight and win! Did you know that if you fight the devil, you are going to be warring with your flesh? When you fight the spirit of fear, you are going to conquer fear in yourself. If you fight the spirit of lust, you are going to conquer lust in yourself. God has to send the devil because he reveals to you what is inside you. When you come against him by faith, you are not only consuming the lusts, you are not only plundering the devil's kingdom as far as the ground that he has taken in your life, but you are plundering him (Matthew 12:25-30; Mark 3:20-27; Luke 11:14-23). You are overcoming his spirits. Take your Promised Land. Conquer the carnal man that lives in it. Use the authority God gave you! This is your God-given right! Praise the Lord! Now, let me share another wonderful testimony with you called:   Faith in God's Word Plundered the Devil by sister L.W. About a year ago, the Lord showed me that I had a spirit of rejection. I received it through the bloodline of my dad. My grandparents tried to abort him. His siblings constantly reminded him that he was not wanted. The spirit of rejection took all my life experiences and twisted them in my head. It made me take everything personally and made me perceive its version of the truth instead of reality. Kids are cruel in school, and everybody is picked on in some way. They picked on me because I'm a redhead. So I saw my hair as a physical disfigurement. I thought if I were pretty, people would like me despite the color of my hair. When I would get beaten up by the boys after school, I thought I was the only one getting picked on. I didn't have any black eyes but there was a lot of hair-pulling, kicking, biting, scratching, and punching. I thought it was all because of the color of my hair. And I thought because I was different, I would never be accepted; and I hated myself and my hair. During this time, I developed nervous facial tics. My mom told me to stop, but I told her that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. I told her my face would feel extremely funny and the only relief was to allow the tic. She told me to rub my face every time I felt that and I did. The Most High God had mercy on me and broke the nervous tics that very instant, and I was immediately delivered.  A couple of years later in the summer, I woke up and the left side of my face was paralyzed and felt heavy. When I would blink, my left eye wouldn't close. When I smiled, only half my face would smile. My dad thought I was just making funny faces and told me if I didn't stop my face would stick. But very quickly, he realized this was a serious medical condition. The doctors discovered I had Bell's Palsy and informed us there was no cure and that I would have to live with this the rest of my life. Later, I asked my parents if that was really true. Would I have to live with this the rest of my life? I felt ugly enough having red hair, without adding a paralyzed face to the equation. And they said, "We serve a God who heals. He is a healing God." Being a child, I thought my parents were smarter than the doctors. So I put my faith in what they told me and ignored what the doctors said. The Lord completely healed my face within seven days. The doctors were stunned. The healing was so complete, there is not even the slightest trace even to this very day, despite the doctors' report. When my parents became missionaries to Swaziland, I was so ecstatic, looking forward to a fresh start. Maybe there they would accept my red hair. Little did I know that the country we were going to believed people with red hair were witch doctors. Now, not only did the color of my hair stand out, but the color of my skin, too. I was really different. I felt I would never fit in. I didn't know the language and couldn't understand their accent—even when they spoke in English. The Swazi kids were actually loving and gentle, unlike the American kids, and they were intrigued by me. They wanted to touch my hair and skin and smell me, but I felt intimidated. (After my sister read this testimony, she told me those Swazi kids loved me and loved playing marbles with me during recess.) The love they gave me, the spirit of rejection stole from me. I thought I was the dumbest one in my class. The standard of schooling was much higher than in the States, and the kids laughed at me because I didn't know the answers when the teacher called on me. Inevitably, there was always somebody who had pity on me and whispered the answer to me. The spirit of rejection twisted my thoughts. Once again I felt rejected. I was a loner. I thought there was something wrong with me because I was dumb. I wanted to be anybody else but me. Because there was no high school in the country we lived in, I was forced to go to boarding school. I went to an all-white, all-girls high school in South Africa. Suddenly, my hair became my greatest asset. I became interested in fashion and beauty and surrounded myself with prim and proper British tea-drinking girls who were gossips and snobs. I was the queen of beauty secrets, sharing them with everybody. Even during my short-lived popularity, inside I still felt dumb and ugly. I felt I was the object of gossip and that the girls were looking down their noses at me. After three years of boarding school, my family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa. I was finally able to live at home with my parents and go to a public school. No longer was I surrounded by prim and proper British girls, but fighting Jezebels. My sister and I rode the school bus. The Jezebels would not allow us to sit, even though there was a vacant seat. They said the seats were reserved. I was determined to sit because I didn't want to have to stand through high school. The girls converged on my sister and me. They pulled our hair, tore our dresses, kicked, scratched, bit, punched and burned us with their cigarettes. I stood up for myself and protected my sister. At that point in my life, I didn't know to turn the other cheek. I prayed and asked God to give me strength. After a while, they gave up. After I graduated from high school, I returned to the States to go to college. Before school started, I lived a few months with relatives. During those months, the spirit of rejection made me feel more alone than ever. Even though I had returned to the land of my birth, I realized I had become a foreigner. I was stranger than ever. My clothes were the latest in fashion in Europe, but they just didn't go in Wyoming. There was nothing indecent about them, but a pastor's wife wrote a letter to my parents stating I looked like a streetwalker and carbon copied it to the church headquarters. Apparently, nothing but jeans, cowboy boots, or tennis shoes was accepted. My clothes were too colorful and different. The day finally came when I was able to go to college and move into the dorm. God blessed me with a fabulous roommate and we became immediate friends. She helped me adjust to the American way of life. I became more confident. I finally started having fun, but didn't study enough; I got kicked out of two church colleges with which my parents were affiliated. I was labeled a rogue missionary kid who dressed like a streetwalker. In my shame, I went back home to South Africa. All my life I was judged by my hair and now I have begun to judge other people by their hair. One night I dreamed I was walking on a busy sidewalk in a big city. The sidewalk was crowded with people walking to and fro. There was a long, green snake gliding at shoulder level. When our eyes met, he immediately came at me and coiled himself tightly around my ponytail. I grabbed him with my right hand and tried to pull him out of my hair, but he was coiled so tightly, he wouldn't budge. I woke up. At this time, I didn't know anything about the importance of dreams. But it was so vivid that I never forgot it. Eventually, my head started to itch and burn. I thought to myself, "Whatever you do, never itch in public." I didn't want to act like the baboons in Africa, always scratching. A couple of years went by and ridges started to form on my scalp, but I ignored it. Later, I got married and moved into my husband's house. Within a week, I realized I had made a huge mistake. He became physically abusive and would often kick me out. In an effort not to worry my parents and hide my shame, I spent the nights at a hotel and kept going back. The abuse became more frequent. I felt like I was having a nightmare and couldn't wake up. It became increasingly difficult to hide the abuse from my family and from work. I found out he was addicted to pornography (that's why he would kick me out). I thought I had married a Christian. One morning, he came at me with full force. I couldn't get away because he was so much bigger and stronger. I grabbed the phone and dialed 9-1-1, but he slammed the receiver down. "God, get me out of here. Help me!" I cried. A few minutes later, a police car pulled up. Shocked, I didn't recognize myself when I looked in the mirror that day. Somebody else was staring at me! We had only been married four months, four days. This was the ultimate rejection and betrayal. For the next two and a half years, we were separated, but trying to work things out. Even during that time, he was physically abusive. My family was afraid he was going to kill me. When I was with him, they would often call. If I did not answer, they would call the police. It ended in divorce. I went to my mom's beauty shop for a haircut. She told me I needed to see the dermatologist because the ridges at the crown of my head had turned a reddish purple. The dermatologist did a biopsy and discovered I had a rare condition called Pseudopelade of Brocq. She gave me little green pills to take. The first morning I took one, I was doubled over in pain within 20 minutes. No matter how hard I tried to take those pills, I was never able to keep them down. I called the dermatologist to ask her what the pills were supposed to do. She said they wouldn't cure my scalp condition—they would only stop the burning and itching. I threw those useless pills out. They were not going to free me from the green snake coiled up in my hair. The name of that snake is Jealousy. When the LORD showed me the root cause of the problem, I repented from my sins of pride and vanity. (Isa.3:16) Moreover, the Lord said, Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet, (17) Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the Lord will make their foreheads bare. (24) ... Instead of wellset hair, a plucked-out scalp. I lived under a mountain of condemnation. No matter how much I forgave and repented of my sins, I always felt like God was mad at me. I am the elder of two girls and I felt like I was Esau and my sister was Jacob. (Heb.12:17) For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears. (Rom.9:13) Just as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. I was jealous of my sister. I felt like I was Leah and my sister was Rachel. I was unloved and my sister was loved. I was the one who had weak eyes and couldn't please my Heavenly Father, while my sister was given wisdom and favor with God and man. The LORD gave me: (Gal.3:27) For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. This verse changed my life. A year before this, my dad baptized me into Jesus Christ, which meant I fulfilled the beginning of the verse. If I was baptized into Jesus Christ, then I was clothed with Christ! I was bouncing off the walls! I was firmly convinced I was clothed with Christ. I told my family about that verse, confessing I was clothed in Christ. My dad and sister said I still had to manifestly be clothed in Christ. I told them that's not what the verse said. It was a very plain and simple verse. I understood it perfectly and I wasn't budging from my stance. I was so ecstatic over that verse and I told them with a huge smile on my face, "Nobody can talk me out of that promise." My mom turned to me and said, "Grab onto that promise with your stubborn mentality and don't let go." The next morning, something flew out of my left nostril with extreme force, waking me up. I heard the sound of a loud rushing wind and physically felt the force. Whatever it was hit my window and caused it to rattle. I jumped out of bed, expecting to see a broken window, but it was completely intact. That had never happened to me before, but I knew I didn't imagine or dream it. I told my family what happened. My dad said a demon was evicted because of my believing that verse. I was so happy! I became obsessed with cleansing myself from all defilement of flesh and spirit. By this time, my dad and sister were listening to me. A few mornings later while sleeping, my whole body cramped up painfully and then relaxed, causing me to wake up. I called my dad, crying on the phone, because I was afraid the demon had come back. He said the demon hadn't come back, but another demon had left and wracked my body on his departure. He said demons typically do that when they leave. I was so happy, jumping up and down, praising Jesus. A few days later, my chest still hurt. I had a big bruise on it to remind me of my deliverance. It was simply a gift Father gave me to believe His Word. His Word is true. When you submit yourself to God, the devil will flee from you. (Jas.4:7) Be subject therefore unto God: but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. I learned the importance of meditating on the word. Each night I would pick a verse. I came across (Sol.4:1) ...Your hair is like a flock of goats that have descended from Mount Gilead. Because of my hair and scalp condition, I was always attracted to any scripture that dealt with hair. I knew there was a spiritual meaning, but I didn't know what it was. Despite not understanding this verse, I was going to meditate on it anyway. I imagined my hair being like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. As I meditated, I heard a voice that sounded like my own say, "Don't do that!" I flew out of bed and turned on the light. I looked under my pillows and tore my whole bed apart looking for something, but I knew not what. I realized it was a demon using my voice. He didn't like me meditating on that verse. I thought, "Stupid demon. If that verse is causing such an uproar with a demon, I'll meditate on it every waking moment!" The next day as I was meditating on the verse, I heard another voice squeal my name. The Word of God is alive! A few weeks later, my mom commented that there was a huge improvement while cutting my hair at the beauty shop. She said an amazing thing was happening—my hair was growing in thick and long. (Sol.7:5) Your head crowns you like Carmel, And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads; The king is captivated by your tresses. It's easy to see the faults in other people, but it's difficult to see the faults in yourself. I decided to ask my sister what my problem was because I knew she would be brutally honest. She told me I had a spirit of rejection. She said that a demon was the cause of my scalp condition, and that I was easily offended and it manifested in my scalp being irritated and tender. I decided to take her at her word and fight the spirit of rejection. My sister showed me this scripture: (Luk.21:12) But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake. (13) It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. (14) So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; (15) for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. (16) But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, (17) and you will be hated by all because of My name. (18) Yet not a hair of your head will perish. Suffering rejection is a part of taking up your cross and following Jesus. It's forgiving those who do you wrong and turning the other cheek. A few weeks later I was at the mall with my family. I saw a really neat soap dispenser that I thought my mom should buy, but she said she didn't like it. Then I saw a perfect soap dispenser for my sister's bathroom, but she didn't like it either. The words, "So what's wrong with MY soap dispenser," flew out of my mouth! I was hearing them for the first time myself. I realized what I said was so outrageous and so unreasonable. For the first time, I saw how easily I was offended. I finally saw for myself the spirit of rejection in me. One night, I asked Father for a scripture by lot: (Luk.9:42) While he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father. I thought Jesus did it for the boy only and I wanted Him to do it for me. But then my sister showed me Jesus' words: (Mar.13:37) What I say to you I say to all. I was ecstatic! Jesus rebuked the spirit of rejection in me and healed me and gave me back to my Heavenly Father. The spirit of condemnation would overwhelm me. One night while meditating on (Rom.6:11) Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus, another demon flew out from behind my right ear with force. I felt and heard a major vibration. I couldn't wait to tell my family. And I said to my sister, "You wouldn't believe what happened to me last night!" She asked, "Now what flew out of you?" (Luk.11:20) But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. I devoured the audio series, "The Curse of Unforgiveness" and I followed along in my Bible, highlighted scriptures, wrote notes and searched my heart for any unforgiveness that may have been lurking. I also devoured the audio series, "Overcoming Sin." I was on a mission to completely rid myself of the spirits of rejection, judgment and condemnation. I became obsessed with (2Co.7:1) Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Early one morning I dreamed I had bloodstains all over me. A little boy with blonde hair said to me, "Let me help you." I woke up, desperately wanting help! Immediately, when David Eells started the Bible study, "Deliverance from Rejection and Its Fear," I knew he was talking to me! The Man-child was helping me. My deliverance was already accomplished! I was set free from the spirit of rejection and condemnation! The mental torment has been removed from my mind. My family will no longer have to tread lightly. My Heavenly Father poured His love into me. I finally felt His acceptance. I was no longer rejected, but accepted. (Isa.43:3) For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. (4) Since you are precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life. How can I possibly feel rejected? (Rom.8:31) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? I had been burnt to a crisp. But I learned the ashes of burning the wood, hay and stubble mixed with the water of the Word was a potent purifying cleanser, which is exactly what I needed. (Num.19:9) Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep it as water to remove impurity; it is purification from sin. (Act.11:9) But a voice from heaven answered a second time, What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy. L.W.'s Prayer: Father, Have Mercy ... Father, I ask You, for anyone out there who is in bondage to sin, needing a healing, needing a restoration in their family, needing a restoration of fellowship, that You will convict them of their sins. Convict them to go and make things right with their brethren. If they've done sin, if they're unforgiving, whatever, convict them to go and make things right with their brethren and then come to You for their benefits: healing, deliverance, blessing, whatever, Lord. We thank you, Lord, for putting Your faith and conviction in hearts. Some are very hardened in their heart, Lord. We ask you to have mercy. Restore their consciences. Grant them this gift to be bold to confess their sins so that You may bless and preserve them and heal and deliver them. Father, we ask it in the name of Jesus. Amen. David: Yes, Amen! Our Lord Jesus has said in (Mat.6:15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Without the Father's forgiveness, we are living under the curse. (Mat.18:32) Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: (33) shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? (34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. (35) So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. The tormentors are the demons who administer the curse, which is partially described in Deuteronomy 28. Many are living under this and think it normal, but Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us... (Gal.3:13). Therefore, it would be of great benefit to you, saints, to also read or listen to these teachings.

149:1 Praise the LORD!- This begins with an imperative that calls to praise God. Sing to the LORD a new song- Ps. 33:3; 40:3; 96:1-22; 98:1-3; 144:9-10; Isa. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3. “A new song is a hymn of victory sung after God had made all things new by His defeat of the forces of evil” Longman, 475. The songs “refers to the beginning of a new era, a new epoch in history” NICOT, 1006. They sing recognizing their victories and successes are His work. Psalms 144 and 149 are linked by reference to the new song. “In a real sense, then, Psalm 149 completes the movement of transferring the Davidic theology to the whole people” McCann, 1274. And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones- Godly ones are mentioned in vs. 5, 9.“The phrase is equivalent to ‘congregation of the righteous' (1:5)” VanGemeren, 876. This phrase seems to be used interchangeably with Israel (vs. 2), sons of Zion (vs. 2), His people (vs. 4), afflicted ones (vs. 4), godly ones (vs. 5). “These various designations make a colorful mosaic of the salvific relationship between the LORD and His people…The former use of the assembly (qahal) as a denotation of Israel in the wilderness (cf. Num. 14:5; 20:4, 6) is narrowed to a specific group within Israel, also known as ‘the humble' (Ps. 9:12) or ‘the people of Zion'” VanGemeren, 876. 149:2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker- 95:6 “Then three verses follow which invite them (Let…Hb. Jussive or wish, vv. 2-3, 5 to perform His praise with joy” Broyles, 517.The LORD as Israel's Maker is stressed in Isa. 45:1; 51:11-12; 54:5; Ps. 95:6. “His Maker is plural in Hebrew, a plural of intensity or majesty” Miller, 452. Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King- The phrase sons of Zion is used in Lam. 4:2; Joel 2:23. God is viewed as the people's King in Ps. 145:1. “Within 146-150 only 149:2 describes the Lord as King to whom (vs. 8) the kings submit. Thus, the psalm takes the metaphor of kingship seriously, including the extenstion of the kingdom by force of arms. But it is just a metaphor, just as Isa. 9:4, 5, 7 militarism is metaphorical of the extension of the kingdom of peace as in Acts 15:14-18. Amos' picture of Gentiles subservience to David is metaphorical of the spreading the gospel” Motyer, 583.The words be glad and rejoice are sometimes used together for the people's attitude toward God- Ps. 32:11. In contrast, the Babylonians use these words of their god- Hab. 1:15.“He deserves Israel's praise because He is their Maker and King” Longman, 475. “As their ‘Maker' He has elected, redeemed, and fashioned the descendants of Jacob (95:6; 100:3; Isa. 44:21; 51:13) into a coming characterized by holiness and royalty (cf. Ex. 19:5-6)” VanGemeren, 876. For more notes, please write me a private note on Facebook. 

Living as Heavenly People in a World Under JudgmentWe reflected on prophecy and the responsibility of living as God's heavenly people. Together, we saw the importance of building on Christ's finished work, walking as pilgrims in the world but not of it, and remaining faithful witnesses of His truth. We considered lessons from Daniel, the nature of judgment and righteousness, the privilege of being born again, and the eternal hope that anchors us as the Church in a fallen world.Themes:Building on the foundation of Christ's finished workDaniel as an example of receiving God's word individuallyThe Church's place as God's heavenly peopleSanctification through the Word (John 17)God's judgment and righteousness: Noah, Daniel, and Job as examplesNo condemnation for those in Christ (Romans 8:1)Walking as strangers and pilgrims on earthGod's truth enduring through historyPrivilege and responsibility of being born againGod's sovereignty in Israel and the ChurchWarning against the moral decline of ChristendomRemaining faithful witnesses of Christ's light (Rev. 2:5)Living in fellowship with God and in the hope of His promisesScripture:Dan. 1–12; John 17; Rom. 8:1, 8:28; 1 Cor. 13:12; 2 Pet. 1:19; Mal. 4:1–4; Num. 23:19; Luke 12:47; Eph. 5:16; James 4:17; 1 John 2:15; 3 John 2; Rev. 2:5

4. ObeyCaleb proved to be special (in contrast to the disobedient nation) because of his totally obedient response to God's commands:None of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these ten times and have not obeyed my voice, shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it. But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it. (Num. 14:22–24)Christian's obedience to the Bible demonstrates one's love for Christ and the genuineness of one's salvation.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Você já parou pra pensar que estar vivo, nesse exato momento, já é um baita milagre?No episódio de hoje, compartilho uma reflexão profunda sobre gratidão pela vida. Num mundo onde doenças, pobreza, violência e desigualdade nos cercam todos os dias, respirar, ter saúde, ter acesso à internet ou até mesmo um café na mesa já são privilégios imensos. Trago dados, exemplos do dia a dia e insights baseados em pesquisas que mostram como a gratidão não é sobre se conformar, mas sobre criar força pra continuar crescendo. Agradecer pelas pequenas coisas muda o jeito como você enxerga sua vida e sua jornada.Dá o play e vem comigo nessa pausa necessária pra reconhecer o valor do agora.Mentoria Luan Mateus ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mentoria.papodeux.com.br⁠⁠⁠⁠News do Papo ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://papodeux.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/papodeux/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@papodeux⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Le décès lundi en direct du streamer français connu sous le pseudonyme de Jean Pormanove, 46 ans, au centre de vidéos le montrant se faire tabasser ou humilier sur la plateforme Kick, soulève de nombreuses questions. Après sa mort, la ministre déléguée chargée du Numérique, Clara Chappaz, a saisi l'Arcom, l'Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique.  Un streamer français, une plateforme australienne, un représentant légal à Malte. On a là tous les ingrédients de ce qui fait horreur à la régulation européenne. C'est d'ailleurs à la suite d'une requête du régulateur allemand en janvier que la plateforme Kick a désigné son représentant légal maltais, requête dont son homologue l'Arcom a été informée. Si on ajoute à cela qu'un article de Mediapart avait déjà dénoncé en décembre les sévices et les humiliations que subissait sur Kick Raphael Graven, alias Jean Pormanove, on peut se demander avec le directeur et éditorialiste du Parisien, Nicolas Charbonneau « À quoi sert l'Arcom ? ». D'autant que cet article avait donné lieu à l'ouverture d'une enquête préliminaire du procureur de Nice, et que la Ligue des droits de l'homme avait déjà saisi le régulateur français. « L'Arcom, écrit l'éditorialiste, toujours prompte à sanctionner le moindre faux pas télévisuel, serait-elle plus sourde et aveugle quand il s'agit de fouiller dans ce que le web recèle de plus abject ? » L'Arcom aurait-elle pu empêcher les costreamers présents avec Jean Pormanove de se filmer en direct ? Précisons déjà que le rapport d'autopsie exclut l'intervention d'un tiers et impute le décès à des causes médicales et/ou toxicologiques. On n'est donc pas dans le cas de ce qu'a connu la Thaïlande en 2017 quand un père avait tué sa fille sur Facebook Live avant de se suicider. Ou même la Russie en 2020, quand un homme avait fait mourir de froid sa compagne en direct en l'exposant à un froid glacial en sous-vêtement. Mais c'est vrai que les violences répétées subies par Jean Pormanove, le fait aussi qu'un handicapé présent à ses côtés en soit victime, tout cela concourt à l'exigence d'une intervention dans l'urgence. Or l'Arcom n'est pas adaptée à une situation d'urgence. L'institution, qui a été créée en 2022 justement pour réguler les plateformes de streaming et lutter contre les contenus illicites, ne peut au mieux que saisir un juge, et c'est alors le temps judiciaire qui s'impose. Reste qu'elle ne l'a pas fait, et c'est là toute sa responsabilité. Absence de régulation La plateforme Kick tire aussi profit de son absence de régulation. C'est parce qu'elle est non européenne, qu'elle est difficile à arrêter. Mais il faut bien voir que son modèle économique repose sur l'absence de modération. On peut tout voir sur Kick, même un débat avec un néonazi, selon Libération. Or cette plateforme est d'autant plus dangereuse qu'elle ne perçoit qu'une commission de 5% sur les recettes des créateurs, contre 40 à 50% sur Twitch, sa grande rivale, dont Kick fait déjà le tiers de l'audience en France.

A bailarina e coreógrafa brasileira Vânia Vaneau apresentou a peça “Nébula” no Festival Internacional de Teatro de Rua de Aurillac, em França, que decorreu de 20 a 23 de Agosto. “Nébula” sugere que a dança pode ser um “ritual de cura” contra a fatalidade climática, algures entre rituais animistas e pés assentes na terra.  É em plena floresta que um círculo de terra queimada serve de cenário para “Nébula”. A peça de Vânia Vaneau e da companhia Arrangement Provisoire inspira-se de uma paisagem pós-apocalíptica para imaginar “uma alternativa, outro tipo de tempo, de atenção e de sensibilidade". Num ritmo lento e contemplativo, a intérprete avança pelo espaço decorado de carvão, rochas vulcânicas e lentes reflectoras. Em conversa com a RFI, a coreógrafa contou que “a peça começou a ser pensada num momento de uma fatalidade climática” e perante “uma impressão de que já é tarde demais”. Porém, a dança pode ser um “ritual de cura” capaz de “inventar um futuro novo” através de uma “força mais feminina e de valores mais animistas” que respeitem a natureza. RFI: Que paisagem é esta que escolheu para fazer esta peça? Vânia Vaneau, Coreógrafa: “Esta peça vem-se inserir numa paisagem natural, num bosque. Aqui nós estamos num bosque e a versão exterior da peça - porque também tem uma versão para o palco, para o teatro - foi pensada para este tipo de espaço de floresta, de paisagens às vezes também vulcânicas porque a paisagem cenográfica da peça é uma paisagem carbonizada e queimada que começa com carvão, com pedras vulcânicas e, pouco a pouco, ela vai-se iluminando com materiais reflexivos, como espelhos, e logo com cores, com pedras preciosas, flores. Essa paisagem vai-se tornando vida, se reanimando pela actividade do corpo, que vai activando esse espaço e dando vida a forças e entidades um pouco invisíveis e que estariam sendo destruídas já. Então, é reconectar com o que está vivo.” Como é que surgiu a ideia de fazer a peça e até que ponto é também um alerta político para a necessidade de proteger a natureza? “A peça começou a ser pensada num momento de uma fatalidade climática, uma impressão de que já é tarde demais. Mas o que fazer depois? Depois desse fim? Se já há uma destruição da natureza, o que podemos imaginar depois? É uma peça que tenta projectar também um futuro possível, inventar um futuro novo através de uma força mais feminina, mais intuitiva, de valores mais animistas que consideram uma horizontalidade do humano com o que não é humano. Isso é totalmente oposto às formas de poderes e à mentalidade política que a gente vive já há muitos anos, muito masculina, consumista, com poderes muito autoritários e que estão principalmente preocupados em produzir, mesmo se for para destruir todas as fontes naturais que fazem da gente seres vivos como os outros.” É uma peça ecofeminista que também faz pensar no Brasil e nas tragédias ecológicas que o Brasil tem vindo a viver? “O começo da pesquisa foi justamente em 2019, quando teve fogos muito grandes na Amazónia, criminais, pela política de Bolsonaro. Então era uma resposta, buscar uma alternativa. Não vim criticar ou denunciar isso, mas propor uma alternativa, outro tipo de presença, outro tipo de qualidade de tempo, de atenção, de sensibilidade, que é realmente mais ligado ao feminino. E também porque eu sou uma mulher e eu estou actuando na peça, mas eu acho que além de homem e mulher, é mais essa fonte, potência feminina mesmo.” Há uma escrita coreográfica baseada em formas da natureza. Há uma atenção particular aos objectos e àquilo que está em palco, entre aspas, aqui na floresta. Como é que se prepara e se opera esse diálogo entre o humano e o não humano? “Para mim, é um diálogo mesmo. Os objectos, os materiais, são na maior parte orgânicos, mas também tem materiais que levam mais para esse lado mais futurista de olhar o futuro. Tem lentes, tem fornos solares, mas são objectos que levam a olhar para mais longe, para o espaço, para o cosmos. Para mim é um diálogo. Eu dou vida para os materiais, eles dão vida para mim e a gente está no mesmo nível. Eu, o espaço, a paisagem onde a gente se encontra e esses materiais e os elementos. Porque nesse caso, estando aqui fora, tem o vento, tem chuva, tem ruídos, tem folhas.” A peça talvez comece com um lado mais sombrio, mas não é sombria, pelo contrário, dá esperança? “Foi uma maneira de não ter medo de olhar para o escuro, de olhar através da catástrofe, olhar para a destruição e encontrar maneiras de curar. É quase como um ritual de cura. Essa peça tem essa possibilidade de cura, de recolocar os pedaços, de transformar o corpo, transformar a paisagem, a natureza. Então, acho que sim, que tem uma esperança.” O Brasil é o pulmão do planeta. O Festival de Aurillac quis mostrar o pulmão da criação brasileira. Como é que vê este festival e o facto de o Brasil trazer peças que apontam para essa urgência ecológica? “É a primeira vez que eu venho neste festival e estou muito feliz de fazer parte deste programa brasileiro porque eu desenvolvi o meu trabalho muito na Europa, mas eu sinto-me ligada ao Brasil e acho muito importante esse tipo de ponte, de intercâmbio. Eu acho que uma cultura tem muito para aprender da outra. Eu considero isto um encontro de culturas e fico muito feliz quando as duas se encontram ou aqui ou lá, mas que tem essas duas polaridades porque são realidades também de criação e realidades políticas muito diferentes, mas que actualmente se encontram com as mesmas dificuldades também. O perigo de a cultura de ter cada vez menos ajudas e valorização, no Brasil, já existe há muito tempo. Aqui também tem esse perigo e acho que uns têm que aprender dos outros, como resistir, como continuar criando, como inventar outras maneiras.” A Vânia Vaneau vive em França. Quer contar-nos um pouco do seu percurso? “Eu vivo na Europa desde os 17 anos. O meu trabalho sempre é influenciado, alimentado pelas minhas raízes brasileiras. Para mim, é uma maneira de me reconectar a essa fonte criativa que, para mim, se situa em boa parte no Brasil. Se eu aprendi e desenvolvi a minha linguagem na Europa, estive na Bélgica, estudei na P.A.R.T.S., trabalhei com companhias como Maguy Marin vários anos, Christian Rizzo. Criámos a companhia Arrangement Provisoire com Jordi Galí, que é um artista catalão, e a gente colabora também em outros projectos pedagógicos e de pesquisa.”

C dans l'air du 20 août 2025 - Mort en direct sur internet : l'horreur et l'indignation« Décédé lors d'un live streaming ». Les circonstances de la mort de l'influenceur Raphaël Graven, connu en ligne sous le pseudo Jean Pormanove, restent floues. Cet homme de 46 ans, ancien militaire, était connu pour participer à des vidéos dans lesquelles il subissait des violences et des humiliations consenties sur la plateforme Kick (concurrente australienne du leader Twitch, et aux règles de modération plus relâchées). Ces vidéos étaient faites pour faire le buzz, amasser de l'argent, et Jean Pormanove affirmait que ces violences étaient consenties.Fin 2024, Médiapart avait mis en lumière les violences subies en direct par Jean Pormanove de la part des influenceurs Naruto et Safine, qui apparaissaient dans ses vidéos. Mais si une enquête préliminaire avait été ouverte par le parquet de Nice à l'encontre des deux hommes, rien ne semble avoir été fait pour les stopper. La ministre déléguée au Numérique Clara Chappaz a annoncé avoir saisi l'Arcom. Beaucoup fustige toutefois l'inaction de l'Autorité depuis six mois.Les violences sont de plus en plus exacerbées sur les réseaux sociaux, et les cyberharcèlements de plus en plus fréquents. C dans l'air est allé à la rencontre d'Alexandra Joris-Bouvier, dont la fille Juliette s'est suicidée en 2021 après avoir été harcelée sur les réseaux. L'enquête patine aujourd'hui, Tiktok refusant de collaborer avec la police.L'autre danger grandissant du web est celui des brouteurs, ces escrocs qui séduisent leurs victimes pour leur extorquer de l'argent. Le cas du « faux Brad Pitt », en début d'année, a fait couler beaucoup d'encre, la victime avait perdu 830.000 euros et avait été la cible de moqueries en tout genre. Cette femme est pourtant loin d'être la seule a se faire prendre au piège. Car ils sont de plus en plus nombreux en ligne à savoir exploiter les solitudes. Alors, que sait-on de la mort du streamer Jean Pormanove ? Que peut faire l'Etat contre les violences en ligne ? Comment se protéger contre les arnaques en ligne ?

Dans cet épisode inspiré de mon livre En équilibre, le point de départ est une conversation autour du “burn-out parental de juin” – ce mois si particulier où l'on a particulièrement l'impression de gérer deux jobs à temps plein à la fois…Mais l'équilibre, est-ce seulement une question de gestion du temps ?Pas vraiment. Car nos repères ont été profondément bouleversés par de nouveaux défis, dont trois que j'explore ici :Des canaux de communication qui s'emballentUne pression sociale inédite sur la parentalitéDes outils numériques omniprésentsCe podcast, c'est un morceau de la réflexion que je développe dans En équilibre. Un fil que je tire un peu plus loin ici : celui de l'équilibre à travers les générations. Parce que nos manières de jongler entre vie pro et vie perso s'inscrivent dans des contextes, des héritages, des attentes.Dans le livre, je vais plus loin, avec des repères concrets pour cultiver le repos, protéger son attention, et avancer sans se perdre. Bien loin d'un idéal à atteindre, je propose une approche plus souple, plus vivante.Bonne écoute,Sandra************************************************Téléchargez la playlist du livre dont je parle dans l'épisode L'épisode avec Agnès Labbé L'épisode avec Claire Flury ************************************************Merci de faire une place aux Équilibristes dans votre vie.

Le design numérique est-il condamné à servir des intérêts privés ? Et si une autre voie était possible, une voie orientée vers le bien commun ?Dans nos 2 derniers épisodes, nous avons exploré les liens entre design et droit.D'abord en interrogeant le rôle du design dans la construction d'objets juridiques. Puis, en enquêtant pour comprendre les relations entre les pratiques du design et le respect de la vie privée.Une conviction s'en dégage : aujourd'hui, le design numérique s'exerce le plus souvent au service d'intérêts économiques privés, parfois au détriment de l'intérêt général.Alors, comment penser un numérique d'intérêt général ? Et surtout, quel rôle le design peut-il y jouer ?Pour en parler, nous recevons Arnaud Levy, co-fondateur de la coopérative noesya.Il a conçu un outil pour évaluer le caractère d'intérêt général d'un service numérique : le N.I.G. (Numérique d'Intérêt Général).Au sommaire de cette épisode : Comprendre le N.I.G. – nous explorons le contexte de la création de ce cadre de référence.Instagram à la loupe – nous découvrons ces critères en analysant Instagram.Vers un numérique de l'intérêt général – pistes de réflexion et leviers d'action pour les designers et designeuses.Cet épisode a été réalisé par Naëlle Frega avec l'aide de Anthony Adam.

Rewards of Giving and Receiving (audio) David Eells – 8/17/25 Father, we thank you so much for being in our midst. We are so privileged, Lord. The overwhelming majority of the world doesn't know You and we'd certainly like to be Your vessels through whom You reveal Yourself to them, and we pray toward that end earnestly. Lord, forgive us of our sins and our foolishness. Give us Your grace. Please rise up in us and do Your wonderful work in these days. Please anoint us and give us wisdom. Lord, we want to return to what You gave the early church and even go beyond that. We want You to teach us, Lord; show us how to walk in Your steps. We just ask for Your mercy and grace today. We see old world crumbling around us and we need Your wisdom now. We want to come out of this world and totally into Your kingdom. We want to know the difference and know Your principles. Lord, we've been reading them and studying them, and we ask You to help us put them into effect in our lives and in our midst. We just need You, Lord. We need You now more than ever. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen. So we're hidden in Christ. Most people never think to pray about those kinds of things, to be hidden from the Beast and take our name out of their system. There is a new Beast in town that is much more favorable to Christians. I believe the Lord is getting ready to prepare us to separate somewhat from this new system soon because it's rising only to fall again as history repeats. There's no use in us continuing to hemorrhage Kingdom supplies to the Beast. As I've said, we're headed back to the Book of Acts. We know we're going there, and you need to be prepared. Failure doesn't have to happen for us because we live in a different Kingdom, and we need to be living according to that Kingdom and according to the Word of God. We have a precedent in the scriptures to follow, and we know from the scriptures that it's important for us to work. I had a lady ask me years ago, “Was I supposed to be working in a secular job?” I said, “Well, why don't you go ask the Lord that?” And so she did. And she came back and said, “No, the Lord told me you were doing exactly what He told you to do”. And I said, “Well, that's right”. But it wasn't always that way with me. I worked for a long time, enjoyed it, and I had a very fruitful ministry when I was doing what the world calls a part-time ministry. But it really wasn't part-time ministry because I got to minister to a lot of people I never would have touched otherwise. Toward the end of that kind of a ministry, I was working for Exxon, and we had gatherings every day of men and women from across the plant. It was a very large plant, which took up a good portion of downtown Baton Rouge on the river. When Christians around the place heard that we were having Bible studies, they would flock from every corner of that plant and join in. We started having two meetings like that -- one in the field and one in the central mechanical building, and we had a large church assembled out there, and lots of miracles were happening. Multitudes of religious people were finding out that God was bigger than they originally thought. They were coming out of their structured churches and fellowshipping with other Christians and learning that there was more to Christianity than what they thought in their little sheltered clique that they were in. I believe the same thing is going to happen soon. I really believe that there are many people for us to reach, and that's going to happen. I think one way it's going to happen is that we will have something in common with them, with other Christians, and that is, we're coming into tribulation soon. Even before The Tribulation, we're coming into tribulation, and that kind of draws people together. It causes them to drop their sectarianism for the sake of survival. I'm not worried about survival. I don't know about you, but I'm not doing this because of survival; I'm doing it because it's scriptural. I believe that if we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these other things will be added unto us. We won't have to worry about a thing. But if we're seeking God and His righteousness, let's face it, we're going to be doing some things that those first disciples did. If we get what they got, we'll do what they did, as I've said so often. And if we do what they did, we'll get what they got. And so we have a precedent here in the scriptures. The apostle Paul worked for many years in a fruitful ministry, tent making, which led him from city to city with other people in the same business. He didn't like relying on people; he didn't like being a burden on people; he said so. And I felt the same way. I mean, I didn't get out of my ministry at Exxon, and having Bible studies. I didn't get out of that and start into what they call the full-time ministry because I wanted to wait on the Lord and this was bearing fruit. I just told the Lord, 'Hey, Lord, I need more time to study; I'd like to have more time to share,' but I waited. And I waited for a few years until the Lord told me, Okay, it's time. I didn't choose that for myself; the Lord is the one Who has to open the doors. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. We have to be led of the Lord. We shouldn't be making steps on our own. Now we know from Paul's testimony that he did this, and we know it's scriptural. We'd all like to just live by our faith and sit out there and meditate on God and let Him drop manna out of heaven, and there's no doubt we'll get into situations where He's going to do just exactly that. But the Lord has multiplied food for me and even put it in my stomach when it wasn't there, so I know God's a mighty God. And Jesus multiplied the fishes and the loaves, and we're going to do the exact same thing. But where did the fishes and the loaves come from? Have you ever thought about that? Well, somebody had those fishes and loaves before Jesus multiplied them. So, I believe that it's scriptural for us to be effectively working, according to the scriptures. I'll just share a few with you. (1Th.4:11) And that you study to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your hands even as we charged you... You think there's any difference today? I don't think so. Now, we know that we're in the process of easing ourselves out of this worldly business and into the King's business all the time, and that's good. Ultimately, that's all we're going to be doing because soon the world is not going to accept us doing any business with them anymore, and so God's going to use that to put us totally in the wilderness. But there's no reason not to be walking out a little into that wilderness right now because we're going to need to prepare for what's coming. I believe it's good and right and proper for people who have good-paying jobs to continue to work because, if we're successful in doing what they did, a lot more of our finances are going to stay with us and a lot less of it is going to go out into the world. And for people who have jobs, there is still a need for money to pay monthly bills, etc.. I mean, be useful where you are until God moves you. I found a very useful, very fruitful ministry while working at Exxon and I was enjoying that, and when I went into what they call the full-time ministry and God moved me to Florida. I was there a little while when I said, 'Lord, I think I was bearing more fruit there doing that than I am now.' But I was studying the Word and digging in the Word, and I asked, “Lord, do You want me to go out and knock on doors?” He said, “No, I want you to do just what you're doing now, except a lot more of it”. I said, Okay. There is a very fruitful ministry out there among the people who won't come into a church; they won't listen to a preacher. You know, you can talk to them where you are. So I'm not talking about departing from that yet, but I am saying this: Some of us have some time on our hands that we could fulfill some other things that we see in the scriptures. (1Th.4:12) ... that you may walk becomingly towards them that are without and may have need of nothing. So he says to work with your hands so you won't have any needs. Well, we can pray it all down out of heaven, can't we? Yes, but it's scriptural. You still have to obey these principles. And certainly, when we get into a spot, and we will get into spots where we need a miracle, a creative miracle, praise the Lord, these creative miracles are going to convert a lot of people. I received many of them in my wilderness before the Lord moved us to TN. I believed we could have good association with the people around this area too. There are a lot of Christians here and there are some innocent people here. Some of them might be ignorant, but that doesn't make them evil because, if you're walking where you know to walk and you're walking as close to the Lord as you understand, you are innocent and the Lord looks upon them that way and we should look upon them that way, too. We're supposed to be making friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness so that they can receive us into eternal tabernacles, right? (Luk.16:9) So we're supposed to use everything around us, to have associations with these people, not to go into the corrupt lifestyles that some Christians are in or into the apostasy that they're in, but we still have to love them, and we still have to share with them graciously. We're going to be close together in the end times and I believe that when we start living the way we see in the scriptures, we'll be able to associate with them and they will see some things in us and they will want some things we have.  We'll be able to share, not just how to bake bread with them or how to raise chickens with them, but more about the Gospel. You'll have something in common. We all have a need, right? So I think what he says right here is very plain: “So we can walk becomingly towards them that are without and have need of nothing.” (Eph.4:27) Neither give place to the devil. But let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need. So, one reason we work is not just for ourselves, but to give to people who have needs, which I did for many years. There are a lot of people who won't know where we're going right now, and they're going to have needs because they haven't been prepared, and that's going to put them at the mercy of God and, in some cases, at our mercy. So we work in order to be prepared to give to those who have need. There will be many Christians and many neighbors who have needs. We are about to have great abundance and we can give. This world is going to persecute Christians and do what they have done in the past; they're going to separate them, and they're going to plunder them. The further we separate from the dependency upon this system, the better. We don't need to be dependent upon this system; we need to be dependent upon God. That's what the wilderness was about. Now, we've been studying faith and that is good; you'll need that all the way through the Tribulation, but there are some things I believe we can do to be more like the early church and less dependent upon this world. You know how often you need to go to the grocery store, right? You know how often you need what they have. Well, I believe we ought to come to the place where we need a whole lot less of what they have and not be dependent upon them because the powers that be are using that dependency to bring you under their thumb. There are a lot of ignorant people out there who are walking with God where they are, who are going to take the mark of the Beast because they don't know God supplies. They don't know that they don't have to because they haven't been taught the Truth of the Gospel. They don't know that God supplies. They don't know how a Christian community works because they go to church, as a spectator, they get up, and they go home. They don't know that God still does these things because they've been lied to. So, when we rub elbows with them, we share with them the Good News that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. So, he says, “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.” (2Th.3:6) Now we commend you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly... I might say, there are some people who judge saying, “they just have to have faith”; I've run into them. It's not an evil in them, necessarily. Many don't see examples of people who live by faith in their churches. They want to serve Jesus, and all true Christians want to serve Jesus. But they're imbalanced. They need some help; they need some wisdom from those who are older in the Lord, because we can serve Jesus anywhere. Anywhere we are, we ought to be serving Jesus. We work as unto the Lord. As the Bible says, we are to work like we work for the Lord. We're not here to be men pleasers, right? We're here to work for the Lord, in whatever ways we can serve His Kingdom. We either work in ministry or at a secular job while we minister. (6) ...Withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly and not after the tradition which they received of us. (7) For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; (8) neither did we eat bread for nought at any man's hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you. (9) Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example unto you that you should imitate us. (10) For even when we were with you this we commanded you: If any will not work, neither let him eat. Some tough love there, isn't it? And, of course, sometimes people don't have jobs and they don't think they can work, but I really believe that can change. And I think some ideas are going to come from each of us that are going to show us a way to do this. (11) For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busy-bodies. (12) Now, them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work and eat their own bread. (13) But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing. (14) And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. You know, there is something almost anybody can do to serve in the Kingdom and to be able to meet the needs of other people. I believe we're about to see a lot of needs presented before us very soon. The dollar is dying very fast. It's going to crumble. The whole system they have is going to crumble. They know it, they're forcing it, they're doing it on purpose. They want a New World Order. They have set up the NESARA and QFS plan, and soon there will be the new world currency and then total digital. All will have to work who can work to receive their income. They know that if we are totally dependent upon them, we'll be at their mercy. But we're not totally dependent upon them and we need to get prepared to live in the Kingdom like a body would. We know that the world doesn't know anything about this. But a body meets its own needs. We are all built for some service in God. Praise be to God! Our ministry is even now supporting missionaries on other continents and we are about to be able to do much more. I can see  that God's going to bring all we need into this ministry in order to meet people's needs so the Gospel can be sent to the World. He showed us that very plainly. We're waiting for that to come and it's on the way now; but at the same time, we still have to obey the scriptures and every one of us ought to be giving and receiving. You know, there is no reward in the scriptures for buying and selling whatsoever. The reward in the scriptures is for giving and we can be doing that weekly or daily. Some will work at secular jobs and others will have their hands free to bring the Gospel to the world and some will do both. He's promised a great reward multiplied many times over in the Kingdom forever, so He wants us to do it. Let's do it. Giving brings an eternal reward. Some people could supply milk, some could raise beef. We will inherit cows for meat and milk and fields. We will have Tesla free energy. Some could supply feed, some could supply corn and some other vegetables. Some could supply chickens and eggs. Some could be butchers and some could be mechanics. Some could be cooks. Some would say, “Thank you for your milk.”  Another would say, “I have something to give you.” Or “I'll meet your needs in some other way.”  We're going to get equipment to plow those fields. We're going to get equipment to plant and harvest those fields. I think all of this is coming, but again, we are learning how to live differently. We're learning how to fellowship with one another about this work and to have more in common with one another than we do just coming to what people call ‘church'. Some people know how to make bread; they're very good at it. They can teach others. There are some people who have poultry, eggs, turkeys, chickens, rabbits and so on and so forth. Just some ideas here. If anyone feels led to go in any direction, that's what I'm asking. What do you feel led to do? Everything you do, you need to be led of the Lord. I'm just putting these ideas out there to share so you can think about it, because the Lord spoke it to me a few nights ago in the middle of the night, and I don't want Him to talk to me again about this in the middle of the night, so I'm going to share it with you. I like talking to the Lord in the middle of the night, but not having to repeat the same things. Some people are good at vegetable growing. I was telling somebody the other day that the house I moved into several weeks before my family moved here, I found one tomato plant on my property that somebody had forgotten about. It was behind a wood pile, and nobody had ever staked up the plant; it was just lying up on the ground, growing this way and that way. And I got to walking around behind this wood pile, and I saw there were tomatoes all over the place down there, so I had been eating tomatoes every day ever since then. That's just one tomato vine. Then the frost got them one night. I decided that I had better go out and gather what tomatoes were still there. So I got them; however, the frost had gotten a few of them, but I was able to gather a few tomatoes from it. I just placed them on the windowsill. But I sure enjoyed being able to eat plenty of tomatoes from one vine that somebody forgot about. The landlord was telling me, “Hey, you can eat the fruit off that tree over there”, and I said, “Hey, I've been eating your tomatoes ever since you left here”. I was watching some brethren make some soap the other day. That was pretty neat. I said, “Hey, you need a machine to grind that”. They were hand-grinding. I believe some people can make soap in order to have soap for their neighbors. You've been paying way too much for soap, and it doesn't work nearly as well as these folks' soap would. And some people would be good at distributing the products to the people. There are people good at doing taxes; there are people good at law. They can offer their services to the brethren and vice versa. Carpentry, mechanics and electricians, handymen, techies, etc. You can think of a lot of things, all kinds of services you can give to others, and they can give to you. And this giving and sharing is just part of being a Christian. In some cases we will hire the world to be laborers while we will be priests and ministers of the Lord. Isa 61:5  And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers. 6  But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.  These are all part time jobs. No one is going to have to slave to stay alive for God has given abundantly and the ministry will make sure all needs are met as it was in Acts. Our main job will be to put the word and gifts of the Spirit in our hearts so we can give this to others. The world is buying and selling. God kept complaining about the buying and selling and the marrying and giving in marriage, and we see that that's the way of the world. Suretyship is the way of the world. Borrowing and mortgaging and guaranteeing to pay back -- that's the way of the world. The Bible teaches against “suretyship.” (Pro.11:15) He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure. The Hebrew word there actually means “to be a guarantor of an agreement; to give or to be security”; in other words, “to mortgage.” It's making a guarantee to pay back what has been borrowed, but we can't even guarantee that we'll be here tomorrow. The Bible also warns us against making promises, pledges, or guarantees of any sort. I think the Amish have something to teach us there. They all gathered together and built the house. Okay, we'll build you the house, and you won't be going into debt either. We can gather together and build a few chicken coops and rabbit coops, and whatever. We can do these things. The ministry can help some of you get started in what some people have called a cottage industry. We can give you something that will, for example, get you a grinder that will grind soap all by itself. Just some ideas. We already have Telsa free energy here waiting to be turned on. we've received several prophecies about a virus that's going to shut down the Internet and the grid but that may be out in the world. The worldly church has no way to know this is going to happen because they're not led by the Spirit, and they're not aware of these warnings in dreams and prophesies. We don't have to stop; we've been warned. We can listen to God and ask, “Hey, God, what do you want me to do about this?” Well, He's giving us some ideas. But we know the Lord is going to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. That's what He said, right? But we just need to believe and obey Him to receive all needs. We also know there's small earthquakes coming through here to separate the land from the mainland. The Lord showed us that. That's going to run people off and make this a peninsula. But we know it's going to happen and we just need to be ready. Even bartering is taxable, so giving freely and receiving freely is the best policy and has heavenly rewards. We're headed toward the mark. Some people are going to take the mark because they don't know that they have a choice. And we can show them not only some supernatural choices, but we can also show them some natural choices because we live the way we're supposed to live toward one another scripturally by meeting one another's needs and working to make sure everybody's needs are met, making sure that there is equality. And the Lord spoke in 2 Corinthians about equality. He wants equality in His church. He wants all of His people to have their needs met. And the way of the world is, I'm in a race with my neighbor: I gotta have the biggest car, the biggest house, swimming pool, etc.; but that's not us. We're here to serve and to lift up our neighbors and to be a community, a body, in order to make sure that everybody's needs are met through giving and receiving, right? The idea of gaining from your neighbor is less important to us than making sure our neighbors' needs are met and our needs are met. It's a control thing with the DS. They think that if they bring down the economy, we will be under their control. And it's true; for an awful lot of Christians, it's true. We can give them a choice here. I believe that if we do a little bit of specializing and less duplicating, we can get this thing up and going pretty fast. Everybody does not need a lawnmower. Some are already set up to do this. Our trips to the store will be for almost no staples and pay their exorbitant prices, and that money will go to feed the Beast; we don't care about that. Whatever we make, we would like it to totally serve the Kingdom. That's the way. I'm not talking about names and storefronts and things like that. These are things we have to avoid. We want to have a low profile where we're going. We want to avoid open rebellion against the system because they'll come to get you. They'll figure out a way to do it. We know we're protected by God and hidden in Christ, but we don't want to dare them, right? And we can do a lot of things just the way we normally do them, just naturally. The way of the world, of opening a big storefront, saying, 'We're not buying and selling, we're bartering'; they'll tax you and figure a way to shut you down. They want control and they don't want anybody to be independent. We can be very independent if we give and receive individually, and we can bring in a lot of Christians who don't know what's coming. We'll enjoy fellowshipping with them too, and not just around these things, but around the Word of God. So we can share with others this way. In Acts 6:1-4, there were some people complaining about their system not working very well, so they chose and ordained some deacons to make sure that the widows weren't missing out. We have lots of deacons in our ministry. “Deacon” just means “servant” in the Word of God. We have servants who do all kinds of things in our ministry. People have many different gifts and talents with backgrounds and training in several areas. This is one we need to move toward, too: People whose whole concern is to make sure that everybody's needs are met, that the system is working, it's not breaking down somewhere. So we'll be thinking about this, and you be thinking about this, too, because it's definitely going to be needed. As the apostle said, they did it at that time so that they could continue in prayer, be able to study in the Word of God and teaching, and these ordained brothers can handle this. Many Man-child families are coming here. Man-child reformers will teach and minister in our bible schools that the Lord has given us. Other specialty teachers will be here too. Let me also say this: Because you're a deacon does not negate you from being an elder or being one of the two-witnesses or being in the Man-child. It doesn't negate that at all. Remember, Jesus was called a deacon, too. In the scriptures, in every way people served others, the word diakonos was used; it just wasn't always translated that way. So, if we translated it the same way every time, we would find out that Jesus was a deacon, all of His disciples were deacons, and everybody was a servant in one form or another. But deacons do not have to be elders. And our ministry has lots of servants. Many people are coming together here to serve the Word of God to people and to make sure it's prepared properly. I'm not bringing this up for any other reason than I feel like the Lord brought it up to me, and I'm not bringing it up in desperation because I'm worried about what's coming. I'm not in the slightest bit worried about what's coming. I am eager to get the Gospel out to the world and we shall. We can be giving and receiving. We can receive the benefits of the eternal kingdom. God's already taken care of all of this. I'm doing this because we can offer blessings to the people by just learning to give to them and making sure their spiritual and physical needs are met. And as we read in the Scriptures, they worked for more than just me, my, and mine; it was for the purpose of giving to other people who were in need. We're going to see multitudes in need. God's giving us property, schools, meeting places and houses here. There are going to be many people, refugees from all over this country and from other countries coming here, and we want to be hospitable. We want to be able to take care of them and help them to move into something that, even if they don't have a secular job, the ministry can meet their needs and meet the needs of people around them. Now, we're not trying to build what the world would call a commune here. You won't see anybody in our ministry running around giving orders. It's a little different than a lot of ministries you've been involved in, or heard about, I'm sure. Most of the people in this ministry who are deacons in this ministry, they have that because it was in their heart to do it, and they came to us and said, 'Hey, I'd like to do this', or ‘I can do this', and so praise God. We want people to be free to do these things from the heart. If you give from your heart, that's a good sacrifice before the Lord, according to 2 Corinthians. From the very beginning of our ministry, we've never charged for anything; we just give it. If people want to give back, that's fine; if they don't, they still receive what they ask for, so we can't really call it bartering when you're not demanding anything in return. We're not talking about hoarding either; we're just talking about meeting needs. Well, we can do some workshops here, people showing other people how to do things, and people gathering together to get these things started in a really good way. And, as I said, I felt the Lord told me that the ministry could also contribute money toward things that people need to get started in this way. Everyone does not belong here for God has not called them to a refuge but tribulation. We can take a lesson from the Amish. They gather together and do something in a group that they could never do individually, or at least, it would take a lot longer time. We don't have a long time. We are not needing to build houses or many buildings that are already provided. I know that we have people to fill every specialty and we can get up and going quickly. And of course, this is all voluntary, whatever a person feels their gift is or the Lord is guiding them to do. The funny thing is, I'm visiting people's houses, and the house I'm living in now, and they are all electric and we have free electricity. One of the Bible colleges has natural gas. There is a rich deposit of gas right here, and that's free energy. We had a brother whose family came down and visited us, who was just north of us, and he has a gas well in his backyard, and I'm thinking, why aren't more people punching holes in the ground around here? That's free heat; that's energy. Well, if you have a community of people who aren't far apart, or if you want to, use it to pressurize it and run vehicles. When I was young, we used gas tractors, gas trucks, and we had the old International Harvester trucks that were converted to run on gas because it was readily available, so you can do the same thing today. People are talking about all different kinds of ways to keep your car running when gasoline becomes hard to find, which it will. Not necessarily here, but it will. But certainly, if you have the availability of a gas well you can buy the converter kits for tractors. We will have electric cars. Birds are hand-to-mouth, aren't they? They don't worry about storing it up; they just eat it. Well, I think you got the idea, so really just pray and ask the Lord if He wants you to do something and, if so, what, and just be ready and willing for Him to use you. You can train people in what you know, and you can be trained by others, and we can all come together with what we each know the Lord is leading us to do. And the ministry would be glad to contribute to anybody who wants to get a start, so you all think about it and pray about it, and we'll see where it takes us. But only consider coming if God says so. Lord, we just ask you, Father, in the name of Jesus, to give us all wisdom. You know what's coming down the road. You see the end from the beginning. We see nothing, Lord; we just trust in You. We want to be led by Your Spirit. We are the sons of God by faith, and we're asking You to lead us and guide us into something that will be very useful, not only to us, but to the people around us and to get the Gospel out. Lord, we thank You for Your mercy toward us, and we know that we have nothing to worry about; we just put all of our faith in You. We know that You are an absolute miracle-working God and You will multiply the fishes and the loaves. And You will bring us manna out of heaven, and You'll do everything that's necessary to provide for Your people. So we just trust in You and we just want to be useful to serve. And we thank You for it, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.   Greed and the Tithe (by David Eells) Paul gave Timothy a revelation of the false prophets and those who follow them in the “last days”. (2Ti.3:1) But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, (4) traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; (5) holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away. These men, who are identified by their egotistical appetite for money, prestige, pleasure, and position, love their religious “form of godliness”. Among these are the false prophets who lead captive the like-minded apostate religious sects. (6) For of these are they that creep into houses (of worship), and take captive silly women (sects of God's people - Isa.4:1, 32:9) laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, (7) ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Those who love to justify their own sinful ways respect these “impostors” and their “form of godliness”. (13) But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. These false prophets are identified as “lovers of money”. These are the merchants of religious Babylon (Rev.18). They make “Father's house a house of merchandise” (Joh.2:16). Since God will not support their personal kingdom-building, they peddle books, tapes, trinkets, chicken dinners, tours, etc. This is the way of the world, and for those who have an impoverished God. Why would anyone who was sent by God and believed the promises of our provision through Christ do this? Our examples in the early leadership of the Church certainly did not. (Joh.2:13) ...Jesus went up to Jerusalem. (14) And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: (15) and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables; (16) and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. They peddle the promises of God's provision to those who give to their ministry. They make “merchandise of the word of God” (2Co.2:17 [in Greek]). They peddle the Word for salaries like hirelings. When a person is not sent by God, he does not have faith that “God shall supply every need” (Php.4:19). Where God sends, He supplies. Without God's supernatural supply, people have to resort to other tactics to support “their” ministry. The Lord has not changed His mind, “the righteous shall live by faith”, not salaries. He commanded His ministers, “Freely ye received, Freely give. Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses”. A man who lives by faith has to walk with God because “if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight” (1Jn.3:21,22). God's command that His leaders walk by faith ensures righteous leadership. The early Church leadership was not in the habit of taking up collections, but when they did, it was not for themselves but for the saints in persecution and had needs, as it was with Jerusalem. (1Co.16:1) Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. (2) Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. (3) And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem. Notice that Paul didn't handle the money, but approved brethren did. He preferred to not even be present when the collection for the saints was received, so that there would be no extortion involved, as it was with the Macedonian collection. He also didn't use the Macedonians' presence to shame and extort the Corinthians. (2Co.9:3) But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: (4) lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. (5) I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion. Ministers received free will offerings and did not demand their rights through condemnation or legalism. (1Co.9:11) If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things? (12) If others partake of [this] right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. (13) Know ye not that they that minister about sacred things eat [of] the things of the temple, [and] they that wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar? (14) Even so did the Lord ordain that they that proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel. (15) But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for [it were] good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorifying void. Paul said, “we did not use this right...that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel”. Even the world sees through the “gimmee gospel” and its con men, and they disrespect the true Gospel because of it. In obeying the command “freely ye received, freely give” we leave no room for suspicion. (2Pe.2:1) But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies.... (3) And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. One way they “make merchandise of you” is to put God's people under the Law to support them when the Scripture clearly states that our giving is “not of necessity” (2Co.9:7). “[Let] each man [do] according as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly, or of necessity (this is not according to the law of tithing): for God loveth a cheerful giver”. In the New Covenant, God wants an offering from the heart from those born of His Spirit. God made the Old Covenant with natural Israel and refused the Gentiles. (Psa.147:19) He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel. (20) He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Now the New Covenant is made only with the Church and is refused to those under the Law. If a doctrine like tithing is not in the New Covenant, then it was never made with you! It will only separate you from Christ and grace. (Gal.5:4) Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. Jesus rebuked the false prophets of His day saying, “Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin (even their seasoning), and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done (this is past tense in all ancient manuscripts, Numerics, and the Received Text), and not to have left the other undone” (Mat 23:23). Jesus clearly said here that tithing was both in the past and under the Law. Some say tithing was before the Law. Yes, circumcision and animal sacrifice were before the Law, too, but they were included in the law and we are not under Law to do them anymore either. Paul also said tithing was of the Law in Hebrews 7:5-11. There is no New Covenant command or request to tithe because we are no longer stewards of ten percent. Jesus taught that we have to renounce ownership of the other ninety percent, or we cannot be His disciples. (Luk.14:33) So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. “All” here means all possessions, rights, and will. Those who claim possession of the other ninety percent are thieves. The Holy Spirit and the New Covenant commands were given to establish where, how much, and to whom we give. We are merely stewards of what He has put in our hands. The church's system of tithing is extortion and graft. It is not even righteous when compared to the Old Covenant tithe. Under the type and shadow of the tithe, ten percent was taken from eleven tribes and given to one tribe, the Levites ([ministers] Num.18:24). Then the Levites gave one ten percent (tithe) to the high priest (25-28). This left the Levites with ten percent from ten tribes. That is an average of what the other eleven tribes had to live on. Even when Israel's economy grew, they still lived on an average income. Today, with a larger percentage of the people doing the supporting, coupled with the fact that the pastors have usurped the authority of the rest of the five-fold ministry (Eph.4:11), ministers have become fat and filthy rich. This is a great stumbling block to both the world that sees through this and to the ministers. This also makes the people of God bad stewards. We have made God's house a “den of robbers” (Mat.21:13). (Eze.34:2) Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? (3) Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. These men make it plain that we are not under the Law except when there is a profit involved and then we are told to “bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse”, which is a command of the Old Covenant. Of course, they falsely claim to be the storehouse. In Old Covenant type and shadow, tithes were cast into the treasury, which was in the midst of the temple (1Ki.7:51; Mar.12:41). In the New Covenant, the temple is God's people, and Jesus said that we would be judged by whether we meet the needs of His people (Mat.25:31-46; 1Jn.3:16,17). This is how we store up treasure in heaven (Luk.12:33,34). We are taught to not store up our treasures on earth (Mat.6:19-21) but to meet the needs of the brethren so “that there may be equality” (2Co.8:14). Those who will not renounce ownership and become stewards of one hundred percent are not being disciples for “we were bought with a price”. We are now bondservants of Christ. The Holy Spirit now tells the disciples of Christ how much, to whom, where, and when to give. Amen. Now, the Bible specifically says you get a reward for giving, and the interest is much better. The interest is “good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.” I've tried God on this and it works. He is faithful — consistently faithful. He is our surety. I learned that you just give and meet the needs of the brethren around you, and not worry about what you have left because God is never going to fail you. Never. From the time the Lord showed me about faith and how He forbade debt to His people, I haven't stored up or borrowed any money, and the Lord has never failed to make sure we had a good car, a good house, and all our needs met. The world says that you have to store up the money until you have enough, or even more commonly, borrow it from the bank, which is debt. But you don't need to go the way of the world, because God can bring it in a lump sum. He did it for us many times. Men serve insurance companies, H.M.O.s, banks and store up their treasures on earth for the security they think it gives them. But we are told in (Mat.6:19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal. Y2K revealed the paranoia and lack of trust in those who stored up their treasures on earth contrary to our Lord's command. Quite a few people that I showed these principles to went home to give their store away and found it full of bugs, just as Jesus said, “thieves break through and steal.” Jesus told of a man who found peace in the insurance of storing up his goods in greater barns (Luk.12:18). He said to himself, (Luk.12:19)… Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. (His misplaced trust brought judgment.) (20) But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required (Greek: “they require thy soul”) of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? (21) So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Notice that it was his stored-up treasures that required his soul. Jesus promised the unfailing kingdom provisions to those who would store up their treasures in heaven by giving. (32) Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom (33) Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old (That means you're not storing it up or keeping it for a long time.), a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. Give alms. Meet the needs of people around you. That's what He calls “a treasure in the heavens that faileth not.” Any treasure you store up on earth is going to fail. The world is going to plunder you, folks, and, if not the world, the devil is going to plunder you by the curse, but you're going to be plundered. Let me tell you how not to get plundered: Give! Meet the needs of the brethren around you. Give and then it will be coming the other way because it says in (Luk.6:38) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. That's how it works. You can make a living by giving. It works. (Luk.12:34) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Some people tell me, “It's okay to have it. Just don't set your heart on it.” That's not what Jesus said. He said, “If you have it, your heart will be on it.” “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” If you're thinking, “Well, David, doesn't it say that Joseph stored up for the years of plenty so that he could give it back in the years of famine?” Yes, but let me point out to you who Joseph very clearly represents in type and shadow. Joseph was among the elders of Israel, but his own brethren sold him into bondage to the Gentiles for silver, just like Jesus. Joseph was lied about by the harlot, Potiphar's wife, just like Jesus. Joseph was persecuted by them and he was cast into prison, just like Jesus. Jesus went and preached to the souls in prison after He was crucified and what did Jesus do to the souls in prison? He decided who went to Abraham's Bosom and who went to Hades; in other words, He judged between the good souls and bad souls. The same thing happened to Joseph when he was cast into prison. He decided between the butler, who came out of prison and went up to serve Pharaoh, and the baker, who lost his head. When Joseph came out of prison, he was ruler over all of the earth, second only to Pharaoh, who was worshipped as a god. And when Jesus came out of prison, He was ruler over all of creation, second only to God. The types and shadows are all there to show that Joseph represented Jesus. If you store up on this earth, you are disobeying Jesus. It's only good for spending, and then you learn to walk by faith. (Jas.2:5) Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? God chose those who are poor of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom. A person who is rich in faith will never go without. God always provides for them. So how do you store up under the hand of “Joseph”? How do you store up your treasures in Heaven under Jesus? You do that by giving alms, by making yourselves purses that wax not old, by meeting the needs of the brethren. You give and it will be given unto you. When you get out in that wilderness, don't you want to have something stored up in the Bank of Heaven? He said, “A treasure in the heavens that faileth not.” If you pack food out there into that wilderness, it will fail you. If you pack gold out into that wilderness, the world will plunder you. But if you store it up by giving, God said He will give unto you. Now I'm not asking for anything; I'm just telling you how to get prepared for what's coming because a lot of you have been hearing a bunch of baloney from apostate preachers. That is not how you get prepared for the wilderness. If you want to be prepared, you store up your treasures under the hand of Jesus in the Kingdom of Heaven, and then you can get it back when you need it. “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom.” The way to make money in the world is not to store up, it's not to bring people under the Law, it's not to tell everybody your needs. Those are the methods of Egypt, but God wants you to stay in the wilderness. The Israelites cried out to go back to Egypt. They didn't like the trials of their faith and they wanted to go back to the ways of the world. The way of God is to give what you have and then God will multiply it back. It's happened to me many, many times that when I did not have enough money to take care of my needs, I would just go and give it. And you know what? God has never failed me, not once. I walked by faith and raised five children, and God always met our needs. Now, one time we were forced into a fast as a trial of our faith, and that's the only time we were ever put in that position, but we got in a position many times where God literally multiplied food, multiplied money and even multiplied gas in our tank. We got to see wondrous miracles from God and we're still seeing them! God sees to it that His Word is fulfilled. (Jer.1:12) Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it. He stands behind His Word, and He will never fail you. He cannot fail. One thing I've learned about God is that He can do everything but fail. He will supply your every need according to His riches in glory. Our brother, Curt Bryan, had always given sacrificially to our ministry. He had given testimony several times where he had written checks to pay his own bills without the money in the bank to cover them, believing God to have the money there in time. In his business, many of his customers were walk-ins, so income was hard to predict. Whenever he had stepped out by faith in this way, God would always come through. A sudden rush of customers would come in, or a generous tip would be given to him. (2Co.9:6)… He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. An opportunity to give can also be an opportunity to sit on, or eat the seed. We can only reap to the extent we sow. God multiplies it back, not to make us rich but to make us channels of His blessing to the needy. He multiplies our seed for sowing, not hoarding. (10) And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness. God's promise to those who are faithful in giving is here. (8) And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work. This is one of the most powerful, all-encompassing promises of provision in all of the Scriptures. Here are a few other testimonies from our site of how the Lord miraculously provided financially when people acted in faith.   Give and It Will Be Given Gideon Smith - 03/08/2012 My wife and I had a medical bill we couldn't afford to pay, so we told them we couldn't afford it. We then gave some money to a ministry that helps our brothers and sisters who are persecuted. The next day, my wife was contacted by the medical people and was told that the bill was cleared, and we owed them nothing. God blessed us five times the amount that we gave by taking care of that debt. When my wife told me this, I was amazed and said, “Wow! Since we had some of that money set aside to pay the bill from our income tax, we should give again.” So right at the table tonight, l prayed, “Lord, if You want us to give again, You will send someone to us in need. Well, I went to the grocery store and had to get some stuff, but I forgot to get everything, so I had to go back. When I went back, I first began to murmur, but instead I praised God. When I left the store, a man approached me with an empty gas container, asking if I could help him. I said, “Sorry, I don't have any cash.” But then I remembered the prayer I prayed. At this point, I said, “Give me the tank. I will fill it up for you. I filled the container up and went to the ATM to get him some cash. When I got back to him, I told him about my prayer and let him know that it was Christ Who just showed him and me this miracle. I am so in awe of God's direction and all His works. Praise the Lord, in Jesus name! You want proof of Christ, there you go. Hallelujah!   Trusting God for Finances Anna Higareda - 04/28/2010 Hello, Brother Eells. This is the first time I have written you. The Lord has put it on my heart to send you a great THANK YOU, as I am sitting here listening to your teaching, Wilderness Living Now. My husband, Jon, has written an email to you once before regarding a dream he had, and you actually spoke about it in one of your teachings. My husband and I have been listening and learning from your teachings and reading your books now for about two years, and we have recently been brought to a point of weakness and have been forced to live in the “wilderness”, as you speak of in your teachings. I wanted to send you a great THANK YOU; it is because of the good Lord and your teachings that we have learned to live by pure faith, and we have also been able to teach our kids to look to God and thank HIM every day. Your stories of faith and your life experiences have really inspired us and given us all the more faith to trust in the Lord for everything we need. As a matter of fact, besides your ministry, my husband received word to be faithful to one other ministry here in Campbell, CA. He was helping at that ministry last Thursday evening (he helps set up and take down all the technical stuff) and when they were taking down and putting things away, one of the elders told him, “I just had a vision, out of nowhere, that you were putting on your coat and it was made of money”. So my husband said, “Hmm, wow, that's pretty neat!” Then he continued on with putting things away, and the elder said to him, “Jon, well ...?!” So my husband looked dumbfounded, and the elder motioned for him to feel his pockets. So he put his hands back in his coat, and he felt paper; it was a $100 bill in his coat pocket! My husband was shocked and in disbelief because it wasn't too long before that, he had had his hands in his pockets and his pockets were empty. My brother-in-law was also there that night, and my husband asked him, “Did you do this?” He said, “No way. I couldn't have done that. I only brought $4 with me tonight”. Then my husband asked the elder the same question, and the response was, “I didn't do that; I guarantee!” This was truly amazing, Brother Eells, because no one knew we had been going through any type of financial struggle. We kept it all to ourselves and that morning I got my paycheck, and my entire check went towards the bills. What was left over after paying bills was $266 and I thought to myself, “That's funny. I thought we would have $366 left over yesterday after bills. There is no way we could make it with this amount until the next time I get paid”. I ended up with $100 less than I thought I would have after bills. Then I talked to God at my work desk and told him, “Lord, I know you have provided many times before and I have faith you will provide again for my family, so I am not going to worry; it's in your hands!” I thanked God and moved forward with my day, and then that night, the Lord put that extra $100 in my husband's pocket at the ministry. I saw my brother-in-law two days later, and he asked, “Did Jon tell you about what happened at the ministry with his jacket?!” I replied, “Yes, isn't that amazing!” Then he said, “I know! Jon asked if one of us had put it in his pocket, but I am telling you, Anna, there is no possible way that anyone put that money in his pocket that night”. I then told him and his wife about the rest of the testimony, and they said, “Thank you, Jesus!” :) God is amazing! So I want to say thank you so very much for all the hard work you do for HIS kingdom; it is truly inspiring! My family and I have been abundantly blessed to have come across your ministry two years ago! Thank you and I wish you and your family all the best! So, Saints, don't fear the wilderness. God designed this wilderness. He's ordained this wilderness. He's even ordained the Beast that's going to cause this wilderness. He's ordained Pharaoh's army to get behind God's people and force them out there into that wilderness. God is not going to fail you. Learn to walk by faith because the wilderness will be nothing for the people who walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7). But for those who are fearful and murmur and complain and walk by sight (Numbers 11:1; 1 Corinthians 10:10; Jude 16; Revelation 21:8; etc.), they are not going to make it through. Why is God doing this? He's doing this because He's raising up believers. (Heb.10:38) But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

"You Talkin to me?", "Cʹest à moi que tu parles?", lancée par Robert de Niro face à son miroir est certainement une des phrases les plus connues du cinéma. Le comédien interprète Travis Bickle dans le film Taxi Driver de Martin Scorcese, la Palme dʹor 1976. A lʹécran, on trouve aussi Jodie Foster, toute jeune alors, Harvey Keitel, et Cybill Shepherd. Taxi Driver cʹest lʹhistoire de Travis Bickle, un jeune homme du Middle West, démobilisé des Marines, qui fait le taxi à New-York. Cʹest un déséquilibré, solitaire, insomniaque, qui voit la déchéance morale partout et qui décide de nettoyer la ville en lʹensanglantant. Taxi Driver, cʹest le récit dʹun psychotique mystique créé par le scénariste Paul Schrader, inspiré dʹun fait réel, une tentative dʹassassinat politique, nous y reviendrons. Cʹest un film dʹerrances, un film où des violences se croisent, où des tirs sʹéchangent, où lʹamour nʹa pas sa place. Cʹest un film qui montre les séquelles psychologiques de la guerre du Vietnam, les traumatismes des jeunes gens revenus au pays, fracassés. Ça ne sʹétait jamais vu avant. Le film choque à sa sortie, mais imprime les mémoires. Et surtout, fait entrer pleinement Martin Scorcese dans le Nouvel Hollywood, ce vivier dʹartistes exaltés, prêts à montrer de quoi ils sont capables, ceux qui veulent en découdre avec le système. Lʹhistoire de Taxi Driver sʹécrit avec sur la banquette dʹun taxi jaune new-yorkais et offre à tous ces jeunes talents, acteurs et actrices compris, un terrain dʹexploration fabuleux qui va devenir légendaire.

News Langages Java 25: JEP 515 : Profilage de méthode en avance (Ahead-of-Time) https://openjdk.org/jeps/515 Le JEP 515 a pour but d'améliorer le temps de démarrage et de chauffe des applications Java. L'idée est de collecter les profils d'exécution des méthodes lors d'une exécution antérieure, puis de les rendre immédiatement disponibles au démarrage de la machine virtuelle. Cela permet au compilateur JIT de générer du code natif dès le début, sans avoir à attendre que l'application soit en cours d'exécution. Ce changement ne nécessite aucune modification du code des applications, des bibliothèques ou des frameworks. L'intégration se fait via les commandes de création de cache AOT existantes. Voir aussi https://openjdk.org/jeps/483 et https://openjdk.org/jeps/514 Java 25: JEP 518 : Échantillonnage coopératif JFR https://openjdk.org/jeps/518 Le JEP 518 a pour objectif d'améliorer la stabilité et l'évolutivité de la fonction JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) pour le profilage d'exécution. Le mécanisme d'échantillonnage des piles d'appels de threads Java est retravaillé pour s'exécuter uniquement à des safepoints, ce qui réduit les risques d'instabilité. Le nouveau modèle permet un parcours de pile plus sûr, notamment avec le garbage collector ZGC, et un échantillonnage plus efficace qui prend en charge le parcours de pile concurrent. Le JEP ajoute un nouvel événement, SafepointLatency, qui enregistre le temps nécessaire à un thread pour atteindre un safepoint. L'approche rend le processus d'échantillonnage plus léger et plus rapide, car le travail de création de traces de pile est délégué au thread cible lui-même. Librairies Spring Boot 4 M1 https://spring.io/blog/2025/07/24/spring-boot–4–0–0-M1-available-now Spring Boot 4.0.0-M1 met à jour de nombreuses dépendances internes et externes pour améliorer la stabilité et la compatibilité. Les types annotés avec @ConfigurationProperties peuvent maintenant référencer des types situés dans des modules externes grâce à @ConfigurationPropertiesSource. Le support de l'information sur la validité des certificats SSL a été simplifié, supprimant l'état WILL_EXPIRE_SOON au profit de VALID. L'auto-configuration des métriques Micrometer supporte désormais l'annotation @MeterTag sur les méthodes annotées @Counted et @Timed, avec évaluation via SpEL. Le support de @ServiceConnection pour MongoDB inclut désormais l'intégration avec MongoDBAtlasLocalContainer de Testcontainers. Certaines fonctionnalités et API ont été dépréciées, avec des recommandations pour migrer les points de terminaison personnalisés vers les versions Spring Boot 2. Les versions milestones et release candidates sont maintenant publiées sur Maven Central, en plus du repository Spring traditionnel. Un guide de migration a été publié pour faciliter la transition depuis Spring Boot 3.5 vers la version 4.0.0-M1. Passage de Spring Boot à Quarkus : retour d'expérience https://blog.stackademic.com/we-switched-from-spring-boot-to-quarkus-heres-the-ugly-truth-c8a91c2b8c53 Une équipe a migré une application Java de Spring Boot vers Quarkus pour gagner en performances et réduire la consommation mémoire. L'objectif était aussi d'optimiser l'application pour le cloud natif. La migration a été plus complexe que prévu, notamment à cause de l'incompatibilité avec certaines bibliothèques et d'un écosystème Quarkus moins mature. Il a fallu revoir du code et abandonner certaines fonctionnalités spécifiques à Spring Boot. Les gains en performances et en mémoire sont réels, mais la migration demande un vrai effort d'adaptation. La communauté Quarkus progresse, mais le support reste limité comparé à Spring Boot. Conclusion : Quarkus est intéressant pour les nouveaux projets ou ceux prêts à être réécrits, mais la migration d'un projet existant est un vrai défi.

Microsoft, longtemps dominant avec Windows, voyait ce seuil comme difficilement atteignable à court terme. Le succès de Linux est également alimenté par la popularité croissante des distributions open source, plus légères, personnalisables et adaptées à des usages variés. Le cloud, l'IoT, et les infrastructures de serveurs utilisent massivement Linux, ce qui contribue à cette augmentation globale. Ce basculement symbolique marque un changement d'équilibre dans l'écosystème des systèmes d'exploitation. Toutefois, Windows conserve encore une forte présence dans certains segments, notamment chez les particuliers et dans les entreprises classiques. Cette évolution témoigne du dynamisme et de la maturité croissante des solutions Linux, devenues des alternatives crédibles et robustes face aux offres propriétaires. Cloud Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 s'en va pendant une heure d'internet https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare–1–1–1–1-incident-on-july–14–2025/ Le 14 juillet 2025, le service DNS public Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 a subi une panne majeure de 62 minutes, rendant le service indisponible pour la majorité des utilisateurs mondiaux. Cette panne a aussi causé une dégradation intermittente du service Gateway DNS. L'incident est survenu suite à une mise à jour de la topologie des services Cloudflare qui a activé une erreur de configuration introduite en juin 2025. Cette erreur faisait que les préfixes destinés au service 1.1.1.1 ont été accidentellement inclus dans un nouveau service de localisation des données (Data Localization Suite), ce qui a perturbé le routage anycast. Le résultat a été une incapacité pour les utilisateurs à résoudre les noms de domaine via 1.1.1.1, rendant la plupart des services Internet inaccessibles pour eux. Ce n'était pas le résultat d'une attaque ou d'un problème BGP, mais une erreur interne de configuration. Cloudflare a rapidement identifié la cause, corrigé la configuration et mis en place des mesures pour prévenir ce type d'incident à l'avenir. Le service est revenu à la normale après environ une heure d'indisponibilité. L'incident souligne la complexité et la sensibilité des infrastructures anycast et la nécessité d'une gestion rigoureuse des configurations réseau. Web L'évolution des bonnes pratiques de Node.js https://kashw1n.com/blog/nodejs–2025/ Évolution de Node.js en 2025 : Le développement se tourne vers les standards du web, avec moins de dépendances externes et une meilleure expérience pour les développeurs. ES Modules (ESM) par défaut : Remplacement de CommonJS pour un meilleur outillage et une standardisation avec le web. Utilisation du préfixe node: pour les modules natifs afin d'éviter les conflits. API web intégrées : fetch, AbortController, et AbortSignal sont maintenant natifs, réduisant le besoin de librairies comme axios. Runner de test intégré : Plus besoin de Jest ou Mocha pour la plupart des cas. Inclut un mode “watch” et des rapports de couverture. Patterns asynchrones avancés : Utilisation plus poussée de async/await avec Promise.all() pour le parallélisme et les AsyncIterators pour les flux d'événements. Worker Threads pour le parallélisme : Pour les tâches lourdes en CPU, évitant de bloquer l'event loop principal. Expérience de développement améliorée : Intégration du mode --watch (remplace nodemon) et du support --env-file (remplace dotenv). Sécurité et performance : Modèle de permission expérimental pour restreindre l'accès et des hooks de performance natifs pour le monitoring. Distribution simplifiée : Création d'exécutables uniques pour faciliter le déploiement d'applications ou d'outils en ligne de commande. Sortie de Apache EChart 6 après 12 ans ! https://echarts.apache.org/handbook/en/basics/release-note/v6-feature/ Apache ECharts 6.0 : Sortie officielle après 12 ans d'évolution. 12 mises à niveau majeures pour la visualisation de données. Trois dimensions clés d'amélioration : Présentation visuelle plus professionnelle : Nouveau thème par défaut (design moderne). Changement dynamique de thème. Prise en charge du mode sombre. Extension des limites de l'expression des données : Nouveaux types de graphiques : Diagramme de cordes (Chord Chart), Nuage de points en essaim (Beeswarm Chart). Nouvelles fonctionnalités : Jittering pour nuages de points denses, Axes coupés (Broken Axis). Graphiques boursiers améliorés Liberté de composition : Nouveau système de coordonnées matriciel. Séries personnalisées améliorées (réutilisation du code, publication npm). Nouveaux graphiques personnalisés inclus (violon, contour, etc.). Optimisation de l'agencement des étiquettes d'axe. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Grok 4 s'est pris pour un nazi à cause des tools https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/xai-says-it-has-fixed-grok–4s-problematic-responses/ À son lancement, Grok 4 a généré des réponses offensantes, notamment en se surnommant « MechaHitler » et en adoptant des propos antisémites. Ce comportement provenait d'une recherche automatique sur le web qui a mal interprété un mème viral comme une vérité. Grok alignait aussi ses réponses controversées sur les opinions d'Elon Musk et de xAI, ce qui a amplifié les biais. xAI a identifié que ces dérapages étaient dus à une mise à jour interne intégrant des instructions encourageant un humour offensant et un alignement avec Musk. Pour corriger cela, xAI a supprimé le code fautif, remanié les prompts système, et imposé des directives demandant à Grok d'effectuer une analyse indépendante, en utilisant des sources diverses. Grok doit désormais éviter tout biais, ne plus adopter un humour politiquement incorrect, et analyser objectivement les sujets sensibles. xAI a présenté ses excuses, précisant que ces dérapages étaient dus à un problème de prompt et non au modèle lui-même. Cet incident met en lumière les défis persistants d'alignement et de sécurité des modèles d'IA face aux injections indirectes issues du contenu en ligne. La correction n'est pas qu'un simple patch technique, mais un exemple des enjeux éthiques et de responsabilité majeurs dans le déploiement d'IA à grande échelle. Guillaume a sorti toute une série d'article sur les patterns agentiques avec le framework ADK pour Java https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/29/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-the-recap/ Un premier article explique comment découper les tâches en sous-agents IA : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/23/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-sub-agents/ Un deuxième article détaille comment organiser les agents de manière séquentielle : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/24/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-sequential-agent/ Un troisième article explique comment paralleliser des tâches indépendantes : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/25/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-parallel-agent/ Et enfin, comment faire des boucles d'amélioration : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/28/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-loop-agents/ Tout ça évidemment en Java :slightly_smiling_face: 6 semaines de code avec Claude https://blog.puzzmo.com/posts/2025/07/30/six-weeks-of-claude-code/ Orta partage son retour après 6 semaines d'utilisation quotidienne de Claude Code, qui a profondément changé sa manière de coder. Il ne « code » plus vraiment ligne par ligne, mais décrit ce qu'il veut, laisse Claude proposer une solution, puis corrige ou ajuste. Cela permet de se concentrer sur le résultat plutôt que sur l'implémentation, comme passer de la peinture au polaroid. Claude s'avère particulièrement utile pour les tâches de maintenance : migrations, refactors, nettoyage de code. Il reste toujours en contrôle, révise chaque diff généré, et guide l'IA via des prompts bien cadrés. Il note qu'il faut quelques semaines pour prendre le bon pli : apprendre à découper les tâches et formuler clairement les attentes. Les tâches simples deviennent quasi instantanées, mais les tâches complexes nécessitent encore de l'expérience et du discernement. Claude Code est vu comme un très bon copilote, mais ne remplace pas le rôle du développeur qui comprend l'ensemble du système. Le gain principal est une vitesse de feedback plus rapide et une boucle d'itération beaucoup plus courte. Ce type d'outil pourrait bien redéfinir la manière dont on pense et structure le développement logiciel à moyen terme. Claude Code et les serveurs MCP : ou comment transformer ton terminal en assistant surpuissant https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/27/claude-code-et-les-serveurs-mcp-ou-comment-transformer-ton-terminal-en-assistant-surpuissant/ Nicolas continue ses études sur Claude Code et explique comment utiliser les serveurs MCP pour rendre Claude bien plus efficace. Le MCP Context7 montre comment fournir à l'IA la doc technique à jour (par exemple, Next.js 15) pour éviter les hallucinations ou les erreurs. Le MCP Task Master, autre serveur MCP, transforme un cahier des charges (PRD) en tâches atomiques, estimées, et organisées sous forme de plan de travail. Le MCP Playwright permet de manipuler des navigateurs et d'executer des tests E2E Le MCP Digital Ocean permet de déployer facilement l'application en production Tout n'est pas si ideal, les quotas sont atteints en quelques heures sur une petite application et il y a des cas où il reste bien plus efficace de le faire soit-même (pour un codeur expérimenté) Nicolas complète cet article avec l'écriture d'un MVP en 20 heures: https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/30/comment-jai-code-un-mvp-en-une-vingtaine-dheures-avec-claude-code/ Le développement augmenté, un avis politiquement correct, mais bon… https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/31/le-developpement-augmente-un-avis-politiquement-correct-mais-bon/ Nicolas partage un avis nuancé (et un peu provoquant) sur le développement augmenté, où l'IA comme Claude Code assiste le développeur sans le remplacer. Il rejette l'idée que cela serait « trop magique » ou « trop facile » : c'est une évolution logique de notre métier, pas un raccourci pour les paresseux. Pour lui, un bon dev reste celui qui structure bien sa pensée, sait poser un problème, découper, valider — même si l'IA aide à coder plus vite. Il raconte avoir codé une app OAuth, testée, stylisée et déployée en quelques heures, sans jamais quitter le terminal grâce à Claude. Ce genre d'outillage change le rapport au temps : on passe de « je vais y réfléchir » à « je tente tout de suite une version qui marche à peu près ». Il assume aimer cette approche rapide et imparfaite : mieux vaut une version brute livrée vite qu'un projet bloqué par le perfectionnisme. L'IA est selon lui un super stagiaire : jamais fatigué, parfois à côté de la plaque, mais diablement productif quand bien briefé. Il conclut que le « dev augmenté » ne remplace pas les bons développeurs… mais les développeurs moyens doivent s'y mettre, sous peine d'être dépassés. ChatGPT lance le mode d'étude : un apprentissage interactif pas à pas https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-study-mode/ OpenAI propose un mode d'étude dans ChatGPT qui guide les utilisateurs pas à pas plutôt que de donner directement la réponse. Ce mode vise à encourager la réflexion active et l'apprentissage en profondeur. Il utilise des instructions personnalisées pour poser des questions et fournir des explications adaptées au niveau de l'utilisateur. Le mode d'étude favorise la gestion de la charge cognitive et stimule la métacognition. Il propose des réponses structurées pour faciliter la compréhension progressive des sujets. Disponible dès maintenant pour les utilisateurs connectés, ce mode sera intégré dans ChatGPT Edu. L'objectif est de transformer ChatGPT en un véritable tuteur numérique, aidant les étudiants à mieux assimiler les connaissances. A priori Gemini viendrait de sortir un fonctionnalité similaire Lancement de GPT-OSS par OpenAI https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-oss/ https://openai.com/index/gpt-oss-model-card/ OpenAI a lancé GPT-OSS, sa première famille de modèles open-weight depuis GPT–2. Deux modèles sont disponibles : gpt-oss–120b et gpt-oss–20b, qui sont des modèles mixtes d'experts conçus pour le raisonnement et les tâches d'agent. Les modèles sont distribués sous licence Apache 2.0, permettant leur utilisation et leur personnalisation gratuites, y compris pour des applications commerciales. Le modèle gpt-oss–120b est capable de performances proches du modèle OpenAI o4-mini, tandis que le gpt-oss–20b est comparable au o3-mini. OpenAI a également open-sourcé un outil de rendu appelé Harmony en Python et Rust pour en faciliter l'adoption. Les modèles sont optimisés pour fonctionner localement et sont pris en charge par des plateformes comme Hugging Face et Ollama. OpenAI a mené des recherches sur la sécurité pour s'assurer que les modèles ne pouvaient pas être affinés pour des utilisations malveillantes dans les domaines biologique, chimique ou cybernétique. Anthropic lance Opus 4.1 https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus–4–1 Anthropic a publié Claude Opus 4.1, une mise à jour de son modèle de langage. Cette nouvelle version met l'accent sur l'amélioration des performances en codage, en raisonnement et sur les tâches de recherche et d'analyse de données. Le modèle a obtenu un score de 74,5 % sur le benchmark SWE-bench Verified, ce qui représente une amélioration par rapport à la version précédente. Il excelle notamment dans la refactorisation de code multifichier et est capable d'effectuer des recherches approfondies. Claude Opus 4.1 est disponible pour les utilisateurs payants de Claude, ainsi que via l'API, Amazon Bedrock et Vertex AI de Google Cloud, avec des tarifs identiques à ceux d'Opus 4. Il est présenté comme un remplacement direct de Claude Opus 4, avec des performances et une précision supérieures pour les tâches de programmation réelles. OpenAI Summer Update. GPT–5 is out https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt–5/ Détails https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-new-era-of-work/ https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt–5-for-developers/ https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-safe-completions/ https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-system-card/ Amélioration majeure des capacités cognitives - GPT‑5 montre un niveau de raisonnement, d'abstraction et de compréhension nettement supérieur aux modèles précédents. Deux variantes principales - gpt-5-main : rapide, efficace pour les tâches générales. gpt-5-thinking : plus lent mais spécialisé dans les tâches complexes, nécessitant réflexion profonde. Routeur intelligent intégré - Le système sélectionne automatiquement la version la plus adaptée à la tâche (rapide ou réfléchie), sans intervention de l'utilisateur. Fenêtre de contexte encore étendue - GPT‑5 peut traiter des volumes de texte plus longs (jusqu'à 1 million de tokens dans certaines versions), utile pour des documents ou projets entiers. Réduction significative des hallucinations - GPT‑5 donne des réponses plus fiables, avec moins d'erreurs inventées ou de fausses affirmations. Comportement plus neutre et moins sycophant - Il a été entraîné pour mieux résister à l'alignement excessif avec les opinions de l'utilisateur. Capacité accrue à suivre des instructions complexes - GPT‑5 comprend mieux les consignes longues, implicites ou nuancées. Approche “Safe completions” - Remplacement des “refus d'exécution” par des réponses utiles mais sûres — le modèle essaie de répondre avec prudence plutôt que bloquer. Prêt pour un usage professionnel à grande échelle - Optimisé pour le travail en entreprise : rédaction, programmation, synthèse, automatisation, gestion de tâches, etc. Améliorations spécifiques pour le codage - GPT‑5 est plus performant pour l'écriture de code, la compréhension de contextes logiciels complexes, et l'usage d'outils de développement. Expérience utilisateur plus rapide et fluide- Le système réagit plus vite grâce à une orchestration optimisée entre les différents sous-modèles. Capacités agentiques renforcées - GPT‑5 peut être utilisé comme base pour des agents autonomes capables d'accomplir des objectifs avec peu d'interventions humaines. Multimodalité maîtrisée (texte, image, audio) - GPT‑5 intègre de façon plus fluide la compréhension de formats multiples, dans un seul modèle. Fonctionnalités pensées pour les développeurs - Documentation plus claire, API unifiée, modèles plus transparents et personnalisables. Personnalisation contextuelle accrue - Le système s'adapte mieux au style, ton ou préférences de l'utilisateur, sans instructions répétées. Utilisation énergétique et matérielle optimisée - Grâce au routeur interne, les ressources sont utilisées plus efficacement selon la complexité des tâches. Intégration sécurisée dans les produits ChatGPT - Déjà déployé dans ChatGPT avec des bénéfices immédiats pour les utilisateurs Pro et entreprises. Modèle unifié pour tous les usages - Un seul système capable de passer de la conversation légère à des analyses scientifiques ou du code complexe. Priorité à la sécurité et à l'alignement - GPT‑5 a été conçu dès le départ pour minimiser les abus, biais ou comportements indésirables. Pas encore une AGI - OpenAI insiste : malgré ses capacités impressionnantes, GPT‑5 n'est pas une intelligence artificielle générale. Non, non, les juniors ne sont pas obsolètes malgré l'IA ! (dixit GitHub) https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/generative-ai/junior-developers-arent-obsolete-heres-how-to-thrive-in-the-age-of-ai/ L'IA transforme le développement logiciel, mais les développeurs juniors ne sont pas obsolètes. Les nouveaux apprenants sont bien positionnés, car déjà familiers avec les outils IA. L'objectif est de développer des compétences pour travailler avec l'IA, pas d'être remplacé. La créativité et la curiosité sont des qualités humaines clés. Cinq façons de se démarquer : Utiliser l'IA (ex: GitHub Copilot) pour apprendre plus vite, pas seulement coder plus vite (ex: mode tuteur, désactiver l'autocomplétion temporairement). Construire des projets publics démontrant ses compétences (y compris en IA). Maîtriser les workflows GitHub essentiels (GitHub Actions, contribution open source, pull requests). Affûter son expertise en révisant du code (poser des questions, chercher des patterns, prendre des notes). Déboguer plus intelligemment et rapidement avec l'IA (ex: Copilot Chat pour explications, corrections, tests). Ecrire son premier agent IA avec A2A avec WildFly par Emmanuel Hugonnet https://www.wildfly.org/news/2025/08/07/Building-your-First-A2A-Agent/ Protocole Agent2Agent (A2A) : Standard ouvert pour l'interopérabilité universelle des agents IA. Permet communication et collaboration efficaces entre agents de différents fournisseurs/frameworks. Crée des écosystèmes multi-agents unifiés, automatisant les workflows complexes. Objet de l'article : Guide pour construire un premier agent A2A (agent météo) dans WildFly. Utilise A2A Java SDK pour Jakarta Servers, WildFly AI Feature Pack, un LLM (Gemini) et un outil Python (MCP). Agent conforme A2A v0.2.5. Prérequis : JDK 17+, Apache Maven 3.8+, IDE Java, Google AI Studio API Key, Python 3.10+, uv. Étapes de construction de l'agent météo : Création du service LLM : Interface Java (WeatherAgent) utilisant LangChain4J pour interagir avec un LLM et un outil Python MCP (fonctions get_alerts, get_forecast). Définition de l'agent A2A (via CDI) : ▪︎ Agent Card : Fournit les métadonnées de l'agent (nom, description, URL, capacités, compétences comme “weather_search”). Agent Executor : Gère les requêtes A2A entrantes, extrait le message utilisateur, appelle le service LLM et formate la réponse. Exposition de l'agent : Enregistrement d'une application JAX-RS pour les endpoints. Déploiement et test : Configuration de l'outil A2A-inspector de Google (via un conteneur Podman). Construction du projet Maven, configuration des variables d'environnement (ex: GEMINI_API_KEY). Lancement du serveur WildFly. Conclusion : Transformation minimale d'une application IA en agent A2A. Permet la collaboration et le partage d'informations entre agents IA, indépendamment de leur infrastructure sous-jacente. Outillage IntelliJ IDEa bouge vers une distribution unifiée https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/07/intellij-idea-unified-distribution-plan/ À partir de la version 2025.3, IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition ne sera plus distribuée séparément. Une seule version unifiée d'IntelliJ IDEA regroupera les fonctionnalités des éditions Community et Ultimate. Les fonctionnalités avancées de l'édition Ultimate seront accessibles via abonnement. Les utilisateurs sans abonnement auront accès à une version gratuite enrichie par rapport à l'édition Community actuelle. Cette unification vise à simplifier l'expérience utilisateur et réduire les différences entre les éditions. Les utilisateurs Community seront automatiquement migrés vers cette nouvelle version unifiée. Il sera possible d'activer les fonctionnalités Ultimate temporairement d'un simple clic. En cas d'expiration d'abonnement Ultimate, l'utilisateur pourra continuer à utiliser la version installée avec un jeu limité de fonctionnalités gratuites, sans interruption. Ce changement reflète l'engagement de JetBrains envers l'open source et l'adaptation aux besoins de la communauté. Prise en charge des Ancres YAML dans GitHub Actions https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1182#issuecomment–3150797791 Afin d'éviter de dupliquer du contenu dans un workflow les Ancres permettent d'insérer des morceaux réutilisables de YAML Fonctionnalité attendue depuis des années et disponible chez GitLab depuis bien longtemps. Elle a été déployée le 4 aout. Attention à ne pas en abuser car la lisibilité de tels documents n'est pas si facile Gemini CLI rajoute les custom commands comme Claude https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/gemini-cli-custom-slash-commands Mais elles sont au format TOML, on ne peut donc pas les partager avec Claude :disappointed: Automatiser ses workflows IA avec les hooks de Claude Code https://blog.gitbutler.com/automate-your-ai-workflows-with-claude-code-hooks/ Claude Code propose des hooks qui permettent d'exécuter des scripts à différents moments d'une session, par exemple au début, lors de l'utilisation d'outils, ou à la fin. Ces hooks facilitent l'automatisation de tâches comme la gestion de branches Git, l'envoi de notifications, ou l'intégration avec d'autres outils. Un exemple simple est l'envoi d'une notification sur le bureau à la fin d'une session. Les hooks se configurent via trois fichiers JSON distincts selon le scope : utilisateur, projet ou local. Sur macOS, l'envoi de notifications nécessite une permission spécifique via l'application “Script Editor”. Il est important d'avoir une version à jour de Claude Code pour utiliser ces hooks. GitButler permet desormais de s'intégrer à Claude Code via ces hooks: https://blog.gitbutler.com/parallel-claude-code/ Le client Git de Jetbrains bientot en standalone https://lp.jetbrains.com/closed-preview-for-jetbrains-git-client/ Demandé par certains utilisateurs depuis longtemps Ca serait un client graphique du même style qu'un GitButler, SourceTree, etc Apache Maven 4 …. arrive …. l'utilitaire mvnupva vous aider à upgrader https://maven.apache.org/tools/mvnup.html Fixe les incompatibilités connues Nettoie les redondances et valeurs par defaut (versions par ex) non utiles pour Maven 4 Reformattage selon les conventions maven … Une GitHub Action pour Gemini CLI https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli-github-actions/ Google a lancé Gemini CLI GitHub Actions, un agent d'IA qui fonctionne comme un “coéquipier de code” pour les dépôts GitHub. L'outil est gratuit et est conçu pour automatiser des tâches de routine telles que le triage des problèmes (issues), l'examen des demandes de tirage (pull requests) et d'autres tâches de développement. Il agit à la fois comme un agent autonome et un collaborateur que les développeurs peuvent solliciter à la demande, notamment en le mentionnant dans une issue ou une pull request. L'outil est basé sur la CLI Gemini, un agent d'IA open-source qui amène le modèle Gemini directement dans le terminal. Il utilise l'infrastructure GitHub Actions, ce qui permet d'isoler les processus dans des conteneurs séparés pour des raisons de sécurité. Trois flux de travail (workflows) open-source sont disponibles au lancement : le triage intelligent des issues, l'examen des pull requests et la collaboration à la demande. Pas besoin de MCP, le code est tout ce dont vous avez besoin https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/7/3/tools/ Armin souligne qu'il n'est pas fan du protocole MCP (Model Context Protocol) dans sa forme actuelle : il manque de composabilité et exige trop de contexte. Il remarque que pour une même tâche (ex. GitHub), utiliser le CLI est souvent plus rapide et plus efficace en termes de contexte que passer par un serveur MCP. Selon lui, le code reste la solution la plus simple et fiable, surtout pour automatiser des tâches répétitives. Il préfère créer des scripts clairs plutôt que se reposer sur l'inférence LLM : cela facilite la vérification, la maintenance et évite les erreurs subtiles. Pour les tâches récurrentes, si on les automatise, mieux vaut le faire avec du code reusable, plutôt que de laisser l'IA deviner à chaque fois. Il illustre cela en convertissant son blog entier de reStructuredText à Markdown : plutôt qu'un usage direct d'IA, il a demandé à Claude de générer un script complet, avec parsing AST, comparaison des fichiers, validation et itération. Ce workflow LLM→code→LLM (analyse et validation) lui a donné confiance dans le résultat final, tout en conservant un contrôle humain sur le processus. Il juge que MCP ne permet pas ce type de pipeline automatisé fiable, car il introduit trop d'inférence et trop de variations par appel. Pour lui, coder reste le meilleur moyen de garder le contrôle, la reproductibilité et la clarté dans les workflows automatisés. MCP vs CLI … https://www.async-let.com/blog/my-take-on-the-mcp-verses-cli-debate/ Cameron raconte son expérience de création du serveur XcodeBuildMCP, qui lui a permis de mieux comprendre le débat entre servir l'IA via MCP ou laisser l'IA utiliser directement les CLI du système. Selon lui, les CLIs restent préférables pour les développeurs experts recherchant contrôle, transparence, performance et simplicité. Mais les serveurs MCP excellent sur les workflows complexes, les contextes persistants, les contraintes de sécurité, et facilitent l'accès pour les utilisateurs moins expérimentés. Il reconnaît la critique selon laquelle MCP consomme trop de contexte (« context bloat ») et que les appels CLI peuvent être plus rapides et compréhensibles. Toutefois, il souligne que beaucoup de problèmes proviennent de la qualité des implémentations clients, pas du protocole MCP en lui‑même. Pour lui, un bon serveur MCP peut proposer des outils soigneusement définis qui simplifient la vie de l'IA (par exemple, renvoyer des données structurées plutôt que du texte brut à parser). Il apprécie la capacité des MCP à offrir des opérations état‑durables (sessions, mémoire, logs capturés), ce que les CLI ne gèrent pas naturellement. Certains scénarios ne peuvent pas fonctionner via CLI (pas de shell accessible) alors que MCP, en tant que protocole indépendant, reste utilisable par n'importe quel client. Son verdict : pas de solution universelle — chaque contexte mérite d'être évalué, et on ne devrait pas imposer MCP ou CLI à tout prix.

Architecture Valoriser la réduction de la dette technique : un vrai défi https://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lire-valoriser-la-reduction-de-la-dette-technique-mission-impossible–97483.html La dette technique est un concept mal compris et difficile à valoriser financièrement auprès des directions générales. Les DSI ont du mal à mesurer précisément cette dette, à allouer des budgets spécifiques, et à prouver un retour sur investissement clair. Cette difficulté limite la priorisation des projets de réduction de dette technique face à d'autres initiatives jugées plus urgentes ou stratégiques. Certaines entreprises intègrent progressivement la gestion de la dette technique dans leurs processus de développement. Des approches comme le Software Crafting visent à améliorer la qualité du code pour limiter l'accumulation de cette dette. L'absence d'outils adaptés pour mesurer les progrès rend la démarche encore plus complexe. En résumé, réduire la dette technique reste une mission délicate qui nécessite innovation, méthode et sensibilisation en interne. Il ne faut pas se Mocker … https://martinelli.ch/why-i-dont-use-mocking-frameworks-and-why-you-might-not-need-them-either/ https://blog.tremblay.pro/2025/08/not-using-mocking-frmk.html L'auteur préfère utiliser des fakes ou stubs faits à la main plutôt que des frameworks de mocking comme Mockito ou EasyMock. Les frameworks de mocking isolent le code, mais entraînent souvent : Un fort couplage entre les tests et les détails d'implémentation. Des tests qui valident le mock plutôt que le comportement réel. Deux principes fondamentaux guident son approche : Favoriser un design fonctionnel, avec logique métier pure (fonctions sans effets de bord). Contrôler les données de test : par exemple en utilisant des bases réelles (via Testcontainers) plutôt que de simuler. Dans sa pratique, les seuls cas où un mock externe est utilisé concernent les services HTTP externes, et encore il préfère en simuler seulement le transport plutôt que le comportement métier. Résultat : les tests deviennent plus simples, plus rapides à écrire, plus fiables, et moins fragiles aux évolutions du code. L'article conclut que si tu conçois correctement ton code, tu pourrais très bien ne pas avoir besoin de frameworks de mocking du tout. Le blog en réponse d'Henri Tremblay nuance un peu ces retours Méthodologies C'est quoi être un bon PM ? (Product Manager) Article de Chris Perry, un PM chez Google : https://thechrisperry.substack.com/p/being-a-good-pm-at-google Le rôle de PM est difficile : Un travail exigeant, où il faut être le plus impliqué de l'équipe pour assurer le succès. 1. Livrer (shipper) est tout ce qui compte : La priorité absolue. Mieux vaut livrer et itérer rapidement que de chercher la perfection en théorie. Un produit livré permet d'apprendre de la réalité. 2. Donner l'envie du grand large : La meilleure façon de faire avancer un projet est d'inspirer l'équipe avec une vision forte et désirable. Montrer le “pourquoi”. 3. Utiliser son produit tous les jours : Non négociable pour réussir. Permet de développer une intuition et de repérer les vrais problèmes que la recherche utilisateur ne montre pas toujours. 4. Être un bon ami : Créer des relations authentiques et aider les autres est un facteur clé de succès à long terme. La confiance est la base d'une exécution rapide. 5. Donner plus qu'on ne reçoit : Toujours chercher à aider et à collaborer. La stratégie optimale sur la durée est la coopération. Ne pas être possessif avec ses idées. 6. Utiliser le bon levier : Pour obtenir une décision, il faut identifier la bonne personne qui a le pouvoir de dire “oui”, et ne pas se laisser bloquer par des avis non décisionnaires. 7. N'aller que là où on apporte de la valeur : Combler les manques, faire le travail ingrat que personne ne veut faire. Savoir aussi s'écarter (réunions, projets) quand on n'est pas utile. 8. Le succès a plusieurs parents, l'échec est orphelin : Si le produit réussit, c'est un succès d'équipe. S'il échoue, c'est la faute du PM. Il faut assumer la responsabilité finale. Conclusion : Le PM est un chef d'orchestre. Il ne peut pas jouer de tous les instruments, mais son rôle est d'orchestrer avec humilité le travail de tous pour créer quelque chose d'harmonieux. Tester des applications Spring Boot prêtes pour la production : points clés https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/blog/2025/07/30/how-i-test-production-ready-spring-boot-applications/ L'auteur (Wim Deblauwe) détaille comment il structure ses tests dans une application Spring Boot destinée à la production. Le projet inclut automatiquement la dépendance spring-boot-starter-test, qui regroupe JUnit 5, AssertJ, Mockito, Awaitility, JsonAssert, XmlUnit et les outils de testing Spring. Tests unitaires : ciblent les fonctions pures (record, utilitaire), testés simplement avec JUnit et AssertJ sans démarrage du contexte Spring. Tests de cas d'usage (use case) : orchestrent la logique métier, généralement via des use cases qui utilisent un ou plusieurs dépôts de données. Tests JPA/repository : vérifient les interactions avec la base via des tests realisant des opérations CRUD (avec un contexte Spring pour la couche persistance). Tests de contrôleur : permettent de tester les endpoints web (ex. @WebMvcTest), souvent avec MockBean pour simuler les dépendances. Tests d'intégration complets : ils démarrent tout le contexte Spring (@SpringBootTest) pour tester l'application dans son ensemble. L'auteur évoque également des tests d'architecture, mais sans entrer dans le détail dans cet article. Résultat : une pyramide de tests allant des plus rapides (unitaires) aux plus complets (intégration), garantissant fiabilité, vitesse et couverture sans surcharge inutile. Sécurité Bitwarden offre un serveur MCP pour que les agents puissent accéder aux mots de passe https://nerds.xyz/2025/07/bitwarden-mcp-server-secure-ai/ Bitwarden introduit un serveur MCP (Model Context Protocol) destiné à intégrer de manière sécurisée les agents IA dans les workflows de gestion de mots de passe. Ce serveur fonctionne en architecture locale (local-first) : toutes les interactions et les données sensibles restent sur la machine de l'utilisateur, garantissant l'application du principe de chiffrement zero‑knowledge. L'intégration se fait via l'interface CLI de Bitwarden, permettant aux agents IA de générer, récupérer, modifier et verrouiller les identifiants via des commandes sécurisées. Le serveur peut être auto‑hébergé pour un contrôle maximal des données. Le protocole MCP est un standard ouvert qui permet de connecter de façon uniforme des agents IA à des sources de données et outils tiers, simplifiant les intégrations entre LLM et applications. Une démo avec Claude (agent IA d'Anthropic) montre que l'IA peut interagir avec le coffre Bitwarden : vérifier l'état, déverrouiller le vault, générer ou modifier des identifiants, le tout sans intervention humaine directe. Bitwarden affiche une approche priorisant la sécurité, mais reconnaît les risques liés à l'utilisation d'IA autonome. L'usage d'un LLM local privé est fortement recommandé pour limiter les vulnérabilités. Si tu veux, je peux aussi te résumer les enjeux principaux (interopérabilité, sécurité, cas d'usage) ou un extrait spécifique ! NVIDIA a une faille de securite critique https://www.wiz.io/blog/nvidia-ai-vulnerability-cve–2025–23266-nvidiascape Il s'agit d'une faille d'évasion de conteneur dans le NVIDIA Container Toolkit. La gravité est jugée critique avec un score CVSS de 9.0. Cette vulnérabilité permet à un conteneur malveillant d'obtenir un accès root complet sur l'hôte. L'origine du problème vient d'une mauvaise configuration des hooks OCI dans le toolkit. L'exploitation peut se faire très facilement, par exemple avec un Dockerfile de seulement trois lignes. Le risque principal concerne la compromission de l'isolation entre différents clients sur des infrastructures cloud GPU partagées. Les versions affectées incluent toutes les versions du NVIDIA Container Toolkit jusqu'à la 1.17.7 et du NVIDIA GPU Operator jusqu'à la version 25.3.1. Pour atténuer le risque, il est recommandé de mettre à jour vers les dernières versions corrigées. En attendant, il est possible de désactiver certains hooks problématiques dans la configuration pour limiter l'exposition. Cette faille met en lumière l'importance de renforcer la sécurité des environnements GPU partagés et la gestion des conteneurs AI. Fuite de données de l'application Tea : points essentiels https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/the-tea-app-data-leak Tea est une application lancée en 2023 qui permet aux femmes de laisser des avis anonymes sur des hommes rencontrés. En juillet 2025, une importante fuite a exposé environ 72 000 images sensibles (selfies, pièces d'identité) et plus d'1,1 million de messages privés. La fuite a été révélée après qu'un utilisateur ait partagé un lien pour télécharger la base de données compromise. Les données touchées concernaient majoritairement des utilisateurs inscrits avant février 2024, date à laquelle l'application a migré vers une infrastructure plus sécurisée. En réponse, Tea prévoit de proposer des services de protection d'identité aux utilisateurs impactés. Faille dans le paquet npm is : attaque en chaîne d'approvisionnement https://socket.dev/blog/npm-is-package-hijacked-in-expanding-supply-chain-attack Une campagne de phishing ciblant les mainteneurs npm a compromis plusieurs comptes, incluant celui du paquet is. Des versions compromises du paquet is (notamment les versions 3.3.1 et 5.0.0) contenaient un chargeur de malware JavaScript destiné aux systèmes Windows. Ce malware a offert aux attaquants un accès à distance via WebSocket, permettant potentiellement l'exécution de code arbitraire. L'attaque fait suite à d'autres compromissions de paquets populaires comme eslint-config-prettier, eslint-plugin-prettier, synckit, @pkgr/core, napi-postinstall, et got-fetch. Tous ces paquets ont été publiés sans aucun commit ou PR sur leurs dépôts GitHub respectifs, signalant un accès non autorisé aux tokens mainteneurs. Le domaine usurpé [npnjs.com](http://npnjs.com) a été utilisé pour collecter les jetons d'accès via des emails de phishing trompeurs. L'épisode met en lumière la fragilité des chaînes d'approvisionnement logicielle dans l'écosystème npm et la nécessité d'adopter des pratiques renforcées de sécurité autour des dépendances. Revues de sécurité automatisées avec Claude Code https://www.anthropic.com/news/automate-security-reviews-with-claude-code Anthropic a lancé des fonctionnalités de sécurité automatisées pour Claude Code, un assistant de codage d'IA en ligne de commande. Ces fonctionnalités ont été introduites en réponse au besoin croissant de maintenir la sécurité du code alors que les outils d'IA accélèrent considérablement le développement de logiciels. Commande /security-review : les développeurs peuvent exécuter cette commande dans leur terminal pour demander à Claude d'identifier les vulnérabilités de sécurité, notamment les risques d'injection SQL, les vulnérabilités de script intersite (XSS), les failles d'authentification et d'autorisation, ainsi que la gestion non sécurisée des données. Claude peut également suggérer et implémenter des correctifs. Intégration GitHub Actions : une nouvelle action GitHub permet à Claude Code d'analyser automatiquement chaque nouvelle demande d'extraction (pull request). L'outil examine les modifications de code pour y trouver des vulnérabilités, applique des règles personnalisables pour filtrer les faux positifs et commente directement la demande d'extraction avec les problèmes détectés et les correctifs recommandés. Ces fonctionnalités sont conçues pour créer un processus d'examen de sécurité cohérent et s'intégrer aux pipelines CI/CD existants, ce qui permet de s'assurer qu'aucun code n'atteint la production sans un examen de sécurité de base. Loi, société et organisation Google embauche les personnes clés de Windsurf https://www.blog-nouvelles-technologies.fr/333959/openai-windsurf-google-deepmind-codage-agentique/ windsurf devait être racheté par OpenAI Google ne fait pas d'offre de rachat mais débauche quelques personnes clés de Windsurf Windsurf reste donc indépendante mais sans certains cerveaux y compris son PDG. Les nouveaux dirigeants sont les ex leaders des force de vente Donc plus une boîte tech Pourquoi le deal a 3 milliard est tombé à l'eau ? On ne sait pas mais la divergence et l‘indépendance technologique est possiblement en cause. Les transfuge vont bosser chez Deepmind dans le code argentique Opinion Article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dear-people-who-think-ai-low-skilled-code-monkeys-future-jan-moser-svade/ Jan Moser critique ceux qui pensent que l'IA et les développeurs peu qualifiés peuvent remplacer les ingénieurs logiciels compétents. Il cite l'exemple de l'application Tea, une plateforme de sécurité pour femmes, qui a exposé 72 000 images d'utilisateurs en raison d'une mauvaise configuration de Firebase et d'un manque de pratiques de développement sécurisées. Il souligne que l'absence de contrôles automatisés et de bonnes pratiques de sécurité a permis cette fuite de données. Moser avertit que des outils comme l'IA ne peuvent pas compenser l'absence de compétences en génie logiciel, notamment en matière de sécurité, de gestion des erreurs et de qualité du code. Il appelle à une reconnaissance de la valeur des ingénieurs logiciels qualifiés et à une approche plus rigoureuse dans le développement logiciel. YouTube déploie une technologie d'estimation d'âge pour identifier les adolescents aux États-Unis https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/29/youtube-rolls-out-age-estimatation-tech-to-identify-u-s-teens-and-apply-additional-protections/ Sujet très à la mode, surtout au UK mais pas que… YouTube commence à déployer une technologie d'estimation d'âge basée sur l'IA pour identifier les utilisateurs adolescents aux États-Unis, indépendamment de l'âge déclaré lors de l'inscription. Cette technologie analyse divers signaux comportementaux, tels que l'historique de visionnage, les catégories de vidéos consultées et l'âge du compte. Lorsqu'un utilisateur est identifié comme adolescent, YouTube applique des protections supplémentaires, notamment : Désactivation des publicités personnalisées. Activation des outils de bien-être numérique, tels que les rappels de temps d'écran et de coucher. Limitation de la visualisation répétée de contenus sensibles, comme ceux liés à l'image corporelle. Si un utilisateur est incorrectement identifié comme mineur, il peut vérifier son âge via une pièce d'identité gouvernementale, une carte de crédit ou un selfie. Ce déploiement initial concerne un petit groupe d'utilisateurs aux États-Unis et sera étendu progressivement. Cette initiative s'inscrit dans les efforts de YouTube pour renforcer la sécurité des jeunes utilisateurs en ligne. Mistral AI : contribution à un standard environnemental pour l'IA https://mistral.ai/news/our-contribution-to-a-global-environmental-standard-for-ai Mistral AI a réalisé la première analyse de cycle de vie complète d'un modèle d'IA, en collaboration avec plusieurs partenaires. L'étude quantifie l'impact environnemental du modèle Mistral Large 2 sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, la consommation d'eau, et l'épuisement des ressources. La phase d'entraînement a généré 20,4 kilotonnes de CO₂ équivalent, consommé 281 000 m³ d'eau, et utilisé 660 kg SB-eq (mineral consumption). Pour une réponse de 400 tokens, l'impact marginal est faible mais non négligeable : 1,14 gramme de CO₂, 45 mL d'eau, et 0,16 mg d'équivalent antimoine. Mistral propose trois indicateurs pour évaluer cet impact : l'impact absolu de l'entraînement, l'impact marginal de l'inférence, et le ratio inference/impact total sur le cycle de vie. L'entreprise souligne l'importance de choisir le modèle en fonction du cas d'usage pour limiter l'empreinte environnementale. Mistral appelle à plus de transparence et à l'adoption de standards internationaux pour permettre une comparaison claire entre modèles. L'IA promettait plus d'efficacité… elle nous fait surtout travailler plus https://afterburnout.co/p/ai-promised-to-make-us-more-efficient Les outils d'IA devaient automatiser les tâches pénibles et libérer du temps pour les activités stratégiques et créatives. En réalité, le temps gagné est souvent aussitôt réinvesti dans d'autres tâches, créant une surcharge. Les utilisateurs croient être plus productifs avec l'IA, mais les données contredisent cette impression : une étude montre que les développeurs utilisant l'IA prennent 19 % de temps en plus pour accomplir leurs tâches. Le rapport DORA 2024 observe une baisse de performance globale des équipes lorsque l'usage de l'IA augmente : –1,5 % de throughput et –7,2 % de stabilité de livraison pour +25 % d'adoption de l'IA. L'IA ne réduit pas la charge mentale, elle la déplace : rédaction de prompts, vérification de résultats douteux, ajustements constants… Cela épuise et limite le temps de concentration réelle. Cette surcharge cognitive entraîne une forme de dette mentale : on ne gagne pas vraiment du temps, on le paie autrement. Le vrai problème vient de notre culture de la productivité, qui pousse à toujours vouloir optimiser, quitte à alimenter l'épuisement professionnel. Trois pistes concrètes : Repenser la productivité non en temps gagné, mais en énergie préservée. Être sélectif dans l'usage des outils IA, en fonction de son ressenti et non du battage médiatique. Accepter la courbe en J : l'IA peut être utile, mais nécessite des ajustements profonds pour produire des gains réels. Le vrai hack de productivité ? Parfois, ralentir pour rester lucide et durable.

Megan J. Conner reminds us of the incredible truth that the Creator of the universe calls us His own. Through Scripture like 1 John 3:1 and Romans 8:17, we’re invited to embrace our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. This devotional explores God’s intentional design for relationship, His relentless pursuit to reconcile us through Christ, and His promise of an eternal inheritance. Whether you’ve struggled with feelings of unworthiness or wrestled with viewing God as a loving Father, this message will help you rest in His unconditional, everlasting love. ✨ Highlights The biblical foundation for belonging in God’s family (1 John 3:1, Gen. 2:18) How God’s love restores intimacy broken by sin through Jesus’ sacrifice Our inheritance as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) Encouragement for those whose earthly relationships make trusting God difficult Key verses affirming God’s faithfulness and unconditional love (Jer. 31:3, Rom. 5:8, 1 John 4:16, John 3:16)

     Second, there is God's directive will, which refers to His actively guiding His people to do what He expects. It is sometimes called His prescriptive will because it prescribes how people are to think, live, and relate to Him and others. For example, God directed Adam and Eve to be “fruitful and multiply” and to “rule” as theocratic administrators over His creation (Gen 1:28). After creating the garden of Eden, He directed them to “cultivate it and keep it” (Gen 2:15). He also gave them freedom, saying, “from any tree of the garden you may eat freely” (Gen 2:16), but also gave one prohibition, saying, “from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die” (Gen 2:17). Other examples include God directing Noah to build an ark (Gen 6:13-14), directing Abraham to leave his country and go to the place where God wanted (Gen 12:1), directing Moses to go to Egypt to liberate His people (Ex 3:10), and later to give them the Law so they could walk in His will (Ex 34:27-28).[1] It should be remembered that the four Gospels reveal that Jesus was born and lived under the Mosaic Law code (Gal 4:4), and during His time of ministry, He directed others to obey that code (i.e., Matt 8:1-4; 23:1-3). However, that covenant and law code has been fulfilled by Christ and rendered obsolete (Matt 5:17-18; Heb 8:13). And now, God has given commands to Christians which are found in the New Testament. The book of Acts covers the first thirty years of the Church and is generally historical information, being descriptive but not prescriptive. Specific commands for the Christian living in the dispensation of the Church age generally start in Romans 1 and extend to Revelation 3. However, Jesus' discourse in the Upper Room (John chapters 13-17), the Lord's Supper (Luke 22:19-20), and the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-2) belong to the Church.      These biblical distinctions are important, for though all Scripture is written for us, only some portions of it speak specifically to us and command our walk with the Lord. Just as Christians would not try to obey the commands God gave to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1-2, or the commands God gave to Noah in Genesis 6-9, so we should not try to obey the commands God gave to Israel in Exodus through Deuteronomy. Christians are not under the Mosaic Law (Rom 6:14), which has been rendered obsolete (Heb 8:13). but operate under the Law of Christ (1 Cor 9:21; Gal 6:2). Charles Ryrie states: "Adam lived under laws, the sum of which may be called the code of Adam or the code of Eden. Noah was expected to obey the laws of God, so there was a Noahic code. We know that God revealed many commands and laws to Abraham (Gen 26:5). They may be called the Abrahamic code. The Mosaic code contained all the laws of the Law. And today we live under the law of Christ (Gal 6:2) or the law of the Spirit of life in Christ (Rom 8:2). This code contains the hundreds of specific commandments recorded in the New Testament."[2]      Because God is the Author of both law-codes (i.e., the Law of Moses as well as the Law of Christ), it is not surprising that He chose to incorporate some of the laws He gave to Israel into the law-code which He has given to the Church. Nine of the 10 commandments are restated in the New Testament (the Sabbath is excluded because it was the sign of the Mosaic Covenant; Ex 31:13-17).[3] Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] God had revealed His will for Israel through the Law of Moses, and this gave them clear guidelines for how to live as God desired. Because God cares for His people, He provided them rules for living in relationship with Himself and others. If His people walked in the ways of the Lord, He promised them blessing (Deut 28:1-14). But if they turned away from His revealed will, He promised them cursing (Deut 28:15-68). The blessed life or the cursed life was always before them (Deut 11:26-28). God's directives were communicated through Moses to God's people (Deut 6:1-2), who were to receive them and adhere to them (Deut 6:3-6), and communicate them to their children (Deut 6:7). [2] Charles Ryrie, Basic Theology (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1999), 351. [3] Additional biblical distinctions reveal that Israel is a nation (Ex 19:6), but the church is not a nation (Rom 10:19). God's program for Israel focused on the land promised to Abraham (Gen 12:1; 15:18; 17:8), whereas the church is called to go out to many lands (Matt 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). Israel was mentioned throughout the Old Testament and recognized by other nations (Num 14:15; Josh 5:1), but the church was a mystery not known in the Old Testament (Eph 3:1-6; Col 1:26-27; cf. Rom 16:25-26). Israel had a priesthood that was specific to the tribe of Levi (Num 3:6-7), whereas all Christians are priests to God (Rev 1:6). Israel worshipped first at the Tabernacle and later the Temple (Ex 40:18-38; 2 Ch 8:14-16), but for Christians, their body is the temple of the Lord and they gather locally where they want (1 Cor 6:19-20; cf. 1 Cor 16:19; Col 4:15). Israel offered animal sacrifices to God (Lev 4:1-35), but Christians offer spiritual sacrifices (1 Pet 2:5; cf. Rom 12:1; Heb 13:15). Israel was required to tithe from the produce of their land (Deut 14:22-23; 28-29; Num 18:21), but there is no tithe required from Christians, only a joyful attitude when giving, “for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor 9:7).

Neste programa, voltamos aos temas que marcaram a semana na África Lusófona. Em Angola,um grupo de cidadãos angolanos exige, em petição pública, a “destituição imediata” do Presidente da República, João Lourenço. Na Guiné-Bissau, o Presidente Umaro Sissoco Embaló, nomeou o empresário Braima Camará para o cargo de primeiro-ministro, Em Moçambique, a Direcção Provincial de Educação e Cultura de Cabo Delgado anunciou que pelo menos 87 escolas estão encerradas na sequência de ataques dos terroristas. Em Angola, um grupo de cidadãos exige, em petição pública, a “destituição imediata” do Presidente da República, João Lourenço. Acusam o chefe de Estado de “repressão, autoritarismo, violações sistemáticas dos direitos humanos e execuções sumárias”. A iniciativa é coordenada pelo Movimento Cívico Mudei e visa exigir a destituição imediata do Presidente angolano, justificando a exigência com os princípios constitucionais que asseguram o direito à vida, dignidade da pessoa, liberdade de manifestação, reunião, expressão, informação e protecção contra a tortura e tratamentos cruéis, desumanos ou degradantes. De acordo com o relatório policial, pelo menos 30 pessoas morreram, incluindo um agente da polícia, mais de 200 ficaram feridas e mais de 1.200 foram detidas, na sequência dos últimos tumultos. Num apelo da Ordem dos Advogados, mais de 500 advogados mobilizaram-se para defender os cidadãos detidos na sequência dos tumultos e actos de vandalismo registados em Luanda e no interior do país entre 28 e 30 de Julho passado, depois da greve convocada por taxistas contra o aumento do preço dos combustíveis no país. Durante os tumultos, várias empresas foram alvo de pilhagens e vandalismo, levando o Governo a anunciar  uma linha de crédito no valor de 50 milhões euros destinados a 162 empresas. Segundo o executivo, os fundos devem servir para restaurar infra-estruturas, repor stocks, garantir o pagamento de três meses de salários e preservar os postos de trabalho nas empresas afectadas. Em Moçambique, a Direcção Provincial de Educação e Cultura de Cabo Delgado, no norte do país, anunciou que pelo menos 87 escolas estão encerradas na sequência de ataques dos terroristas ao distrito de Chiúre. Na Guiné-Bissau, o Presidente guineense, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, nomeou o empresário Braima Camará para o cargo de primeiro-ministro, em substituição de Rui Duarte de Barros, segundo um decreto presidencial. O empresário e político guineense afirmou que a principal prioridade é organizar eleições legislativas e presidenciais no dia 23 de Novembro Em Cabo Verde, os três municípios da ilha do Fogo e o da Brava estão a debater a criação de uma empresa intermunicipal de transporte marítimo para melhorar a conectividade regional e impulsionar o desenvolvimento económico local.

Dans cet épisode, je vous propose de plonger dans les coulisses d'En équilibre, mon livre tout juste publié. On y explore un thème aussi universel que tabou : la comparaison.Pourquoi avons-nous tant de mal à résister à cette tentation de nous mesurer aux autres ? En quoi les réseaux sociaux, les injonctions sociales ou nos histoires personnelles viennent-ils amplifier ce réflexe, parfois doux poison, parfois vrai moteur ?Je partage avec vous les trois formes de comparaison que je rencontre le plus souvent dans mes accompagnements, ainsi que des pistes concrètes pour mieux vivre avec ce mécanisme profondément humain, sans le laisser nous enfermer.Au programme :Déconstruire la « comparaisonite » pour en faire un levier d'élan, pas un freinMieux comprendre les besoins cachés derrière l'envie ou la jalousieTrois questions pour transformer la comparaison en inspiration, et pourquoi exprimer son admiration change toutÀ travers un extrait du livre, des anecdotes personnelles et des réflexions tirées de mon parcours de coach, je vous invite à repenser notre rapport à l'équilibre, et à vous sentir un peu moins seul·e face à ces tiraillements du quotidien.Je suis toujours ravie de lire vos retours, témoignages et prises de conscience !Bonne écoute, Sandra************************************************Découvrir le livre : https://www.conscious-cultures.com/livre-en-equilibreLien vers la playlist du livre : https://sandrafillaudeau.podia.com/playlist-en-equilibre************************************************Merci de faire une place aux Équilibristes dans votre vie.

Immigration laws, borders, Biden vs. Trump...so much controversy over illegal immigration, but where should Christians stand on this issue?In today's episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at how God views immigration, how He tells us to treat immigrants/foreigners, and His expectations for immigrants who came to Israel in Bible times.

Welcome to Day 2686 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Holy War” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2686 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2686 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we continue with the 9th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter nine: “Holy War.” The Bible is a controversial book. People who don't see it as the Word of God often object to what it says. But some parts of the Bible make even Christians uncomfortable. Israel's war to conquer the Promised Land is a case in point. Why? Mostly because of the killing. It seems indiscriminate and far too thorough. Why was it necessary to kill entire populations in some cities—men, women, children, and even livestock? Why not let the inhabitants surrender? Wouldn't it be better to exile them than to slaughter them? There's an answer to those objections—but I've discovered that the answer seems to make Christians as uncomfortable as the problem. You can only understand the rationale and motive of the conquest accounts when you see them through the supernatural worldview of an Israelite. Israel's Supernatural Logic The battles for the Promised Land were framed by two factors, both deeply rooted in Israel's understanding of their world as not only the abode of humankind but also the prize in an unseen spiritual war. We've talked about both of them already, but let's review. One factor is the fallout from the events at the Tower of Babel, when God decided, after the nations rebelled against him, that he no longer wanted a direct relationship with the people of those nations. Instead, he assigned members of his divine council, the sons of God, to govern them (Deut. 4:19–20; 32:8–9). Afterward, he called Abraham and enabled him and his wife Sarah to have a child (Isaac), from whom the people of Israel would come. We learned in Psalm 82 that these lesser gods became corrupt. They allowed injustice. People came to worship them instead of the Most High God. Thus, they became enemies of God and his people, Israel. Since some of those nations were within the land of Canaan, which God purposed to give to his nation Israel after the exodus, Moses and the Israelites believed the people who occupied those lands were their mortal enemies and their gods would do all they could to destroy Israel. The second factor was even more frightening for the Israelites. It's best explained by what happened when the Israelites arrived at the border of Canaan, the Promised Land. Moses sent twelve spies into Canaan to report on the land and its inhabitants. The spies came back with evidence that the land itself was wonderful—it flows “with milk and honey”—just as God had told them (Num. 13:27). But then they dropped a bombshell: “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it...

Neste Cafezinho, Luciano Pires desmonta a falácia da régua simétrica — essa exigência artificial de criticar “os dois lados” com o mesmo peso, ignorando contexto, intenção e impacto. Num mundo assimétrico, onde os erros têm tamanhos e consequências diferentes, fingir imparcialidade é muitas vezes esconder a covardia. Ser justo não é fingir equilíbrio: é ser honesto, mesmo que doa. Aperte o play e pense com coragem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2676 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we continue with the 7th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter seven: “Rules of Engagement.” Our story so far: God cast aside the nations and their peoples at Babel. The lesser gods assigned to them took dominion (Deut. 32:8–9). When God started over with Abraham, it was clear that he planned to one day reclaim the nations through the influence of Israel (Gen. 12:3). But the gods of the nations would have to be forced to surrender their power and worship (Ps. 82:6–8). That meant conflict—in both the seen and unseen realms. As soon as there was an Israel, she was in the crosshairs of the gods.  Who Is Yahweh? It doesn't take long in the biblical story for Israel to wind up in a precarious position. The story of Joseph (Gen. 37–50) explains why Israel went to Egypt. God's providence turned the harm intended Joseph by his brothers to the salvation of Israel from famine (Gen. 46:3–4; 50:20). That God didn't tell Israel to leave Egypt right away was also intentional. God knew the pharaoh who honored Joseph would die and be replaced by an enemy (Ex. 1). He had foreseen that Egypt would put the Israelites into forced labor (Gen. 15:13–16). He also knew he would rescue Israel when the time was right (Gen. 46:4). But why wait? God always has a good reason for suffering. We just can't always see it. In this case, though, Scripture makes it clear. After Moses had fled Egypt and taken up residence in the wilderness, God called him at the burning bush (Ex. 3:1–14) to send him back to Egypt. His orders were simple: Tell Pharaoh “Let my people go” (Ex. 5:1). Pharaoh had other ideas. He was god in the flesh in Egypt, the emblem of all its glory and power. He wasn't going to let some invisible God of Hebrew shepherds tell him what to do. He didn't even know whether the God of Moses was real. He mockingly replied, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go?” (Ex. 5:2). He was about to get an answer—one that would hurt. God had set him up. God had told Moses, “I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go” (Ex. 4:21). God had a fight to pick. After they had oppressed the Israelites for centuries, it was time for Egypt and its gods to be punished. Pharaoh's hardening was part of that plot. The Bible tells us the plagues were aimed at Egypt's gods—especially the last one, the death of the firstborn (Ex. 12:12; Num. 33:4), which turned out to be a direct assault on Pharaoh's house: “At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of...
