Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him. 4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.” 5 And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He wondered at their unbelief. __________________ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.

Pastor James Coates z Grace Life Church v Edmontonu (Alberta, Kanada), byl uvězněn 14. února 2021, protože se nepodvolil tamním vládním koronavirovým nařízením, která tehdy zakazovala konání bohoslužeb. Krátce po tomto kázání byl zadržen a bez soudu a slyšení byl umístěn do cely s maximální ostrahou. Během jeho uvěznění byl ze stejné věznice propuštěn násilník a pedofil Cyle Larsen, ohledně kterého policie vydala varování, že své jednání pravděpodobně opět zopakuje. James, manžel a otec dvou dětí ale neměl právo ani na odvolání a měl dokonce i zákaz návštěv. Ve vězení podle svých slov zvěstoval evangelium Ježíše Krista jak spoluvězňům, tak strážným, a jeho odchod provázel zpěv a burácivý potlesk. Z vězení byl nakonec propuštěn 22. března 2021 po zaplacení pokuty $1,500. Prvotní podmínky propuštění nepodepsal. Bylo mu zakázáno pokračovat v pastorační službě, kázat a vstoupit na pozemek sboru. Od té doby byla budova církev Grace Life policií oplocena trojitým plotem a členům byl zamezen přístup do budovy. Církev Grace Life se onějakou dobu musela scházet venku na neznámem místě. V Kanadě byli zatčeni minimálně dva další pastoři. Toto je výklad listu Římanům 13:1-4 od pastora Jamese Coatese ze dne jeho zatčení. ► http://www.krestanekurim.cz ► http://www.krestanekurim.cz/youtube ► http://www.krestanekurim.cz/spotify ► https://www.facebook.com/krestanekurim
In this throwback episode, Leighton pulls one out from the archives wherein he chatted with Pastor James Coates of the Grace Life Church in Edmonton. With the National Citizens Inquiry underway this month across the country, many are being reminded of, and confronted with the great cost Canadians paid during the dark moments of 2020 and 2021. Coates explains the inspiration for his book, how Grace Life Church found itself being visited by cops and public health officials during services and what it was like to serve 35 days behind bars.

White House shuts down reporter's Fauci question on COVID origin: 'I'm done with you' https://youtu.be/dl77nDxM47o -Play 0:40-1:56 Whoa… order in the court ladies and gentleman! White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at reporters who raised questions about the origins of COVID-19 during Tuesday's press briefing, which featured outgoing White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci. During questions after the White House coronavirus response team updated reporters on the administration's vaccine efforts, Daily Caller White House correspondent Diana Glebova attempted to ask a question regarding what Fauci has done to investigate the origins of COVID-19. But Jean-Pierre shut Glebova down and rebuked her for speaking out of turn. Then Today News Africa journalist Simon Ateba spoke up and said her question was valid and should be asked. "You need to call people across the room. She has a valid question, she's asked about the origin of COVID," Ateba said. Fauci, who will step down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in December, has faced questions from Republican lawmakers over his agency's support for coronavirus research in China. NIAID has provided millions of dollars in grant funding to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit group that GOP critics claim has supported bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lawmakers interested in the lab-leak origins theory of COVID-19 want to probe whether that research was the genesis of the pandemic and whether Fauci played any role in approving money that was sent to the Wuhan lab. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/here-where-last-uncalled-house-races-stand-two-weeks-election-day Here is where the last uncalled House races stand two weeks from Election Day As results from midterms elections continue to trickle in two weeks past Election Day, four critical House races in Alaska, California and Colorado still remain uncalled. Fox News Digital breaks down the outstanding races and what is taking so long. California California, which has two of the four uncalled races, is a predominately vote-by-mail state, meaning every registered voter is automatically mailed a ballot 29 days prior to Election Day. With 22 million registered voters and weeks-long processing times, this means race calls can move very slowly in the Golden State. California still has 593,925 remaining ballots to be counted, according to estimates from the California Secretary of State's report on Monday. Of the unprocessed ballots remaining, about 500,000 of these ballots were mailed in Election Officials. California permits election authorities one month to complete tallying which mean voters could be waiting as late as Dec. 8 for final race outcomes. In California's 3rd Congressional District, Republican Kevin Kiley holds a commanding lead over Democrat Kermit Jones; however, approximately only a little over half of ballots have been counted in the "likely Republican" race. California accepts mail-ballots for the week following Election Day, although the ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 8. The ballots must also go through a signature verification process before being counted. The second uncalled race in California lies in the state's 13th Congressional District. This toss-up race is among the tightest remaining as Republican John Duarte narrowly leads Democrat Adam Gray by less than 800 votes. Alaska Alaska's At-Large Congressional District still remains uncalled, held up by the vote counting process of the state's newly implemented ranked-choice voting system. The seat has been rated by Fox News' Power Rankings as "lean Democratic" as a result of the ranked-choice system that gives incumbent Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola an advantage against her Republican opponents, former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich. Peltola led in the first round of the vote, with Palin in second and Begich in third, but failed to secure 50%, meaning those who voted for the candidate with the least number of votes will have their second choice vote reallocated to the other candidates until one reaches 50%. Election officials will commence the counting of second- and third-place votes Nov. 23, meaning that Alaskans may know the final outcome of the House race by end of day, if all goes as expected. Colorado: Colorado predominantly votes by mail, but processing is much swifter than California. In 2020, 90% of the vote was counted by Wednesday morning after Election Day, according to the Associated Press. Even so, mail-in ballots from out of state and overseas military service members can arrive as late as Wednesday as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. Despite relatively speedier ballot processing times, Colorado's 3rd House district still remains too close to call. Incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert was not expected to have such a close race with her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, in the "likely Republican" seat. The one-term congresswoman is narrowly leading the vote count by a little more than 500 votes, according to the Associated Press. Though the race qualifies for a recount under Colorado state law, Frisch conceded to Boebert on Friday. However, the Associated Press has still not called the race as of Tuesday. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-ap-fires-reporter-responsible-for-fake-story-alleging-russian-missiles-hit-poland?utm_campaign=64487 AP fires reporter responsible for fake story alleging Russian missiles hit Poland The Associated Press has reportedly fired journalist Jim LaPorta, who was one of two bylines that ran with the false report that Russian missiles hit Poland. The only source of that story was anonymous, which goes against AP's policy. The retracted story alleged that a senior US intelligence official said that Russian missiles "crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people." The story was taken down the next day and replaced with an editor's note stating that the story was false and that "subsequent reporting showed that the missiles were Russian-made and most likely fired by Ukraine in defense against a Russian attack." AP's news values and principles state that there must be more than one anonymous source to run a story unless the "material comes from an authoritative figure who provides information so detailed that there is no question of its accuracy," the AP said. LaPorta wrote the article along with John Leicester, who is still working with AP. https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/11/21/gen-z-whose-votes-bolstered-democrats-in-the-mid-terms-are-suffering-massive-pandemic-induced-depression/ Gen Z – Whose Votes Bolstered Democrats in the Mid Terms – Are Suffering Massive Pandemic-Induced Depression. Millions of Gen Zers are struggling with mental health problems, according to a new survey, which reveals many of these problems were first identified during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is further evidence of the serious health consequences caused by the social-distancing measures taken in response to the virus. Generation Z is the third-largest population in America, after millennials and baby boomers. While Zoomers are often singled out for praise by the corporate media for racial and sexual diversity, it’s also becoming clear many of them are suffering mental health issues to a far greater degree than earlier generations. The survey was carried out by Harmony Healthcare IT, an Indiana-based data-management company. Just over 1000 individuals aged 18 to 24, with a roughly equal gender balance, were asked a range of detailed questions about their mental health. Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they were suffering from a diagnosed mental-health problem, with 25 percent saying their diagnosis took place during the pandemic. Anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bulimia were just some of the conditions the respondents reported. By comparison with millennials or Gen X-ers, Zoomers are twice as likely to report struggling with emotional distress on a daily basis. Near 70 percent said that they felt the pandemic had a negative effect on their mental health. Zoomers appear to be deeply anxious, with 85 percent saying they were worried about the future. Nine out of ten Zoomers diagnosed with a mental-health issue have anxiety and eight out of ten suffer from depression. Particular concerns for Zoomers include personal finances, the economy, their health, the environment, politics, and the workplace. Three-quarters of Zoomers say they feel disadvantaged by comparison with older generations, and 90 percent have a hard time picturing a stable future for themselves. Twenty percent of the study participants said they have a regular therapist, while 57 percent take regular medication and 39 percent attend therapy for mental health issues at least once a week. Pandemic Damage. The study is further evidence that the pandemic – in particular the social-distancing measures adopted by most governments around the world – had serious adverse consequences for the young that far outstrip any damage they might have suffered from contracting the virus. Other studies have already substantiated the mental effects of isolation and exposure to fear and uncertainty about the virus’s effects. A meta-analysis from the University of Calgary suggested that as many as one in four children worldwide are now suffering from depression and anxiety as a result of the pandemic. These unintended effects have not just been psychological. A recent study showed children are exercising less and spending more time sitting down than ever before as a result of the pandemic. Researchers at the University of Bristol revealed that fewer than four out of 10 children were doing sufficient daily exercise at the end of 2021. Obesity rates have risen at a “staggering” pace, according to the American CDC. The restrictions are even believed to have affected babies in the womb. A study based on a review of 250 babies born in New York between March and December 2020 suggested that the pandemic had serious adverse developmental effects on newborns, even if the mother had not had COVID-19 during the pregnancy. The researchers believe that increased maternal stress during pregnancy may be to blame, as well as reduced interactions with other infants and more stressful interactions with parents and caregivers. It looks like the effects of the pandemic and the overzealous responses of government “experts” will continue to ramify through the increasingly unhappy lives of our younger generations, long after COVID-19 itself becomes a distant memory.

John 17:11b-19 | Pastor James Coates
In the spring of 2020, government mandates forced churches across North America to close their doors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As societal fear and unrest increased, Christians were forced to grapple with how God wanted them to respond to these state-imposed restrictions. After all, didn't the closure of churches pose a serious threat in a time when people needed spiritual direction more than ever? Guided by the command in Hebrews 10:25 that churches not forsake meeting together, Pastor James Coates led his congregation to return to in-person meetings—and were swiftly met by unsympathetic governing authorities ready to shut them down again. The ensuing legal battles raised important questions about religious freedom, and more importantly, illuminated what it looks like to take a stand when Christ and compliance collide.

He was arrested and imprisoned for following Hebrews 10-25 which tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together.--Pastor James Coates is pastor-teacher of GraceLife Church of Edmonton, Canada. He's co-author of the book, God vs. Government- Taking a Biblical Stand When Christ - Compliance Collide.--The lock-downs for Canada began in March of 2020. Initially GraceLife Church did comply but did so reluctantly. The health emergency ended in June of 2020. He had preached a couple of sermons in preparation for that though at the end, there were still restrictions imposed on churches so they opted to open and leave it up to their congregants as to whether they wanted to attend.--A key function of the book is to answer what appears to be conflict between Romans 13 and Hebrews 10-25. When they were wrestling with the restrictions, these texts were on their minds in terms of trying to come up with a proper response to the pandemic.

GUEST: PASTOR JAMES COATES, co-author, God vs. GovernmentPersecution, imprisonment, and murder of Christians is nothing new. The gospels recount the crucifixion of Christ and the book of Acts chronicles the threats, beatings, jailings, and stonings of first century Christians.Today is no different for believers in Communist China or North Korea, where Christians defy government edicts and gather secretly. In some Islamic countries, Christians are jailed and martyred for refusing to keep silent about the gospel.In countries like the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand that were founded on Christian values with guaranteed individual liberties, the state has generally allowed citizens to pursue their faith.That changed about a decade ago when the homosexual movement began prosecuting Christians for refusing to participate in“same-sex” so-called weddings. It was a shock when Christians lost their baking or photography business or were fined for following their biblical beliefs.But the God-haters wouldn't stop there. With Covid came a new opportunity to silence and persecute Christians, as government-mandated restrictions and closures of churches in the name of “community health and safety”.Most pastors and churches “compiled”, but some, like GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta where James Coates pastors, understood the Biblical command for churches to “not forsake our own assembling together” (Hebrews 10:25).Alberta's governing authorities couldn't allow GraceLife to defy their order and so Pastor James was arrested and imprisoned. For what? For continuing to gather as a church in obedience to God's Word.Pastor James Coates joins us on The Christian Worldview to explain what happened and to exhort Christians to obey God when government tries to usurp the authority that God gave to the church.Related Resource:God vs. Government: Taking a Biblical Stand When Christ and Compliance Collidehttps://store.thechristianworldview.org/products/godvsgovt

John 15:12-17 | Pastor James Coates
Erin Coates, “a slave to Christ” and wife of Pastor James Coates who was jailed earlier this year, shares their experience and consequences for continuing to keep the doors of the church open for individuals to be able to continue to worship together in order to obey God and in respect to the conscience of others. We also discuss the role of the Government and when it is ok for for believers not to comply. Our individual rights and the rights of the church have and are being infringed upon. I encourage you to listen to Pastor Coates's sermon on Romans 13:1-4 “Directing Government to it's Duty” that he preached prior to being imprisoned. The link is below in the show notes. Last but not least, Erin shares her testimony of how she came to faith in Christ and the Glorious Good News of the Gospel!

We are BEYOND excited to have on Gracelife's Pastor James Coates and his wife Erin! There's literally nothing we could put into this text box that would accurately convey how blown away by this episode we are. We talk about James' arrest, Erin's reaction, how Gracelife responded, and how mind-blowingly faithful God was through it all and continues to be to them, their family, and their church. Oh, we also talk about how we must prepare to stand on the supremacy of Christ and His Scripture and what that looks like. This chat was like meeting old friends after being apart for a long time. It will forever be near and dear to our hearts. May it bless you as you listen. If you'd like to continue to support Gracelife, you can purchase Pulpit shirts here. Proceeds will continue to go to them! We also launched a new store and TWO new shirts, our Darkness Gets No Quarter shirt and out Pulpit 3/4 sleeve shirt which we'll be donating proceed to Pastor Jacob Reaume and Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo, Ontario.
