John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Before we unpack this verse, we need to understand something about God's judgment. God's judgment isn't like man's judgment. When man judges, an action occurs, then judgment follows. In the kingdom of God, a sinful action reveals God's judgment. Let me explain it from Paul's epistle to the Romans in 1:17-24. For in it (the gospel) the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore, God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity. How is God's judgment that a man is righteous before Him revealed? God sends them the gospel through which the gift of righteousness is manifested as God gives Him life in Christ, and he believes. God-wrought faith is the evidence that God's judgment is true, namely that the person's sins have been judged in Christ, therefore, he is not judged. This God-wrought work in the heart of men will be mentioned later in John 3. The judgment of God preceded the action of a faithful response to the gospel. God sees the man in Christ, proclaims Him righteous, and reveals this reality through the testimony of faith which God gives him when he hears the gospel. If this is a new thought to you, then I encourage you to look closely at Rom. 1:16-28 and meditate on it, asking the Holy Spirit to help you understand. Now consider how God's wrath against sin is revealed. God gives a man over to what He sees inside him. He judges that he is unbelieving, and then to reveal His judgment is right, He reveals Himself in creation and through the gospel, and his unbelieving response proves God's judgment is true. Again, God's judgment precedes the unbelieving response to the gospel or God's revelation. He sees the unrighteousness and ungodliness in the man that suppresses the truth, judges it, and then reveals His judgment by leaving him to himself to do what God sees in his heart. So when the Son of God comes into the world as the light of the world, and a man doesn't believe, it is evidence that he is already judged. That's why Jesus said, “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” So here's the encouragement for today. If you are living to love with Jesus, you believe that your sin has been judged in Him at the cross. Your unbelieving, self-directed life has passed away. You are not judged like the unbelievers are. You also believe that He lives and that He is your life. That's why you live today—to love with the living Christ who dwells inside you. Does this encourage you? I hope so. Otherwise, you have been judged already, and I encourage you to repent of not...

The Unchanging Word Bible study continues in the book of Jude verses 11-13.In verse 11, Dr. Mitchell discusses the way of Cain, salvation without sacrifice, and the error of Balaam, commercialization of spiritual things, and perishing in the gainsaying of Korah, which is opposition to the authority of God. These three O.T. examples are given as comparisons to the current rash of teachers who have despised and rejected the Savior Himself. Even our current society, politics and culture, is permeated with such people.In 2Peter 2, Peter also writes of these false teachers. Read that chapter as well.As Dr. Mitchell reminds us from 2Peter 3, "God is not slack concerning His promise, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."Open your Bible to Jude 11 and join us with Dr. Mitchell.

Life is full of sweet highs and terrible merlots on today's Script Apart as Alexander Payne – director of movies like Election, The Holdovers, Nebraska and About Schmidt – joins us to raise a glass to an indie drama that has aged like a fine wine. The brilliant Sideways was released in 2004 and soon earned four Academy Award nominations, taking home Best Adapted Screenplay. It won six Independent Spirit Awards, was picked up for Japanese remake and instigated a huge tourism boom in the California wine country that forms the film's backdrop. Co-written with frequent collaborator Jim Taylor, it told the tale of two friends on a wine tasting expedition,  each struggling to break out of a certain middle-aged, middle-class male malaise (one of Alexander's screenwriting specialties). The result? A dramedy widely regarded as one of the best of its decade.The film saw Paul Giamatti play Miles – an aspiring author whose dreams of literary stardom are misfiring, much like his love life. Recently divorced, he and his old college friend Jack, played by Thomas Haden Church, hop in the car to celebrate Jack's upcoming wedding. But Jack – a washed-up soap opera actor – is intent on hooking up with women as part of one last sexual hurrah before marriage. Caught up in the mix as the pair quarrel and cause trouble is Virginia Madsen's Maya, a barmaid that Miles strikes up feelings for. Professing those feelings in a serious way, though, is difficult for the wine aficionado and English teacher – a man so mired in regret about what was, he's unable to grasp the now and what could still be. Much is often made about the recurring quote-unquote “losers” that lead Alexander's films, and what they might have to say about modern American man. The filmmaker, though, has always been pretty resolute that his movies centre the downtrodden and dopey simply because, deep down, these films are comedies – a genre the historically sides with the little guy, going all the way back to Charlie Chaplin. But how does he define the mix of pathos and hilarity that fill his characters? Where does Alexander's affinity towards road trip stories come from?  What's so relatable and real about Miles' fear that his literary dreams might amount to nothing – and that a life of feeling like a loser awaits? And what was the inspiration behind the film's beautiful ending – a knock at the door that we as an audience never see answered? All is revealed across a fascinating thirty-minute sit down with the auteuer.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

A Fake Christianity (4) (Audio) David Eells – 1/12/25 Ask for the Old Paths A.F.- 08/21/2007 (David's notes in red) This dream was so strong and memorable that I knew I needed to pay attention. I dreamed my husband and I bought a new house. It was actually a very old house (the house the Lord raised up 2000 years ago). It had been converted to a restaurant (to feed the true Word). We intended to convert it back to a house. (getting back to what was ordained of God: 1Jn.2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.). It was awful. The decor was old and rotten. Full of heavy, dusty drapes and old furniture made from rare exotic wood but now out of date and unappealing (because of a falling away the original house has fallen into disrepair). As we took possession of the house, we started exploring all the rooms. Many rooms had been added on over the years. (Rev.22:18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book.) The front porch had been converted to a trinket shop full of tacky crafts and dusty Christmas junk (Since man-made religious systems are not supported by God through the faith of the leaders, they resort to Babylonish merchandising.). When I was examining the porch I pulled back the nasty, rotten carpet and found a good clean wood deck underneath (the old foundation). I made a mental note to rip up the carpet, dump the trinkets and merchandise and restore the porch to a place where you could sit and rest (a place to rest from man's works on God's Sabbath). From the porch, there was a stairway that led to another part of the house that had been added on and I was shocked to see how big the house had gotten (Again adding to the Word brings a curse. It was big but not good or effective, like the mega-churches). This particular wing was like a whole house in itself but it obviously had been used for commercial business offices (the merchants of Babylon). There was one narrow blue (heavenly) tiled staircase in this part of the house that had been closed off (men have closed off Jacob's Ladder [Hebrew: staircase] which represented the true path to heaven [Gen.28:12]. Luk.11:52 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.). In the dream I knew it had once led to a pool or water source of some kind (to the true source of the living Waters of the Spirit Word). Even though it was roped off I tried to look up the staircase and was startled to see what appeared to be an angel at the top (The ministering spirit angels ascended and descended between Jacob and God. Jesus, the Word, said that He was this staircase, the way to heaven and God's way to us [Jn.1:51].). Then the angel began walking down the stairs, saying the area was closed, and then disappeared (It won't be closed much longer; Jesus is coming in His firstfruits to lead the church back to the water of life.). As I toured the house, making notes about what I would do to renovate it, I had a baby boy with me. Sometimes I carried him; sometimes he toddled beside me holding my hand tightly. I knew he was not my natural child but one that I was caring for and I wanted to keep him close to me (The fruit of Christ in the spirit man coming to those who seek the old house with the “old paths.”). I think the house definitely represents apostate religion. It has been used for business for too long and is now rotten and meaningless. I assume the baby boy is the man-child ministry. (The man-child will lead the true called-out ones back to the “old paths.”). Jer.6:16 Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein]. 17 And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken. 18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (a license for self-will), and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Apostate leaders have denied Jesus the Lordship of His Church.   God Reveals the Apostate Leadership B.A. - 06/21/2015 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was inside a two-story house (which represents Heaven and Earth) with a family of seven children who were all boys. (The leadership of the seven churches of Revelation, six of whom represent the apostate leadership of the six church types that were corrected by the Lord in revelation. One is the Man-child leadership of the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love that was praised by the Lord and promised to escape the hour of trial. 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: 8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name. 9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.) I was standing in the living room on the first floor (which represents the earth; things that are earthly and not from above or Heavenly). (Col.3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. Mat.16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. And Php.3:18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 20 whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 21 who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.) Immediately, I was sent to the basement level (a place of darkness and deceit) of this home where six of the boys had their bedrooms, along with their mother. (Representing the corporate body of the earthly Church.) The father was not home but in the dream; I knew that “the father” was at work. (The Father is at work to reform the six churches and their leaders through judgment.) Joh.1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. Mat.5:15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. I was allowed to enter into each of the children's bedrooms to inspect the condition of their rooms. (As the Lord did to the six churches in Revelations.) Upon entering each of their rooms, I immediately detected a foul, uninviting odor. (This is the smell of rebellion) Amo.4:10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. Their rooms were filthy with dust and dirt everywhere. (Uncleanness represents a lack of sanctification, “without which no man shall see the Lord” [Heb12.14].) I could tell that their rooms had not been cleaned in a very long time. I also opened each of their closet doors and inspected their garments. I wasn't surprised to find filthy, dirty, stinky clothes lying all over the floor. (Garments represent our works.) There were vulgar posters and other disgusting things hanging all over their walls as well. (That which they admire is sin.) I went into their mother's bedroom and it wasn't any better! (The mother reflects the children because they are born from her and are a part of her body.) Also, I was led to go into the basement bathroom that they all shared and it was covered in filth and had a very foul odor as well. I began to pray, as an evil spirit of darkness, like a thick black cloud, was all around me. (The church today reflects nothing we see in the example of the Church in the word.) After this, I was led back up to the first level and found myself in the kitchen, where the mother (apostate church) was preparing food (doctrine of demons) for six of her children. 1Ti.4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron. I watched as she placed the food she had prepared onto each of their plates. I couldn't help but notice that the food looked and smelled spoiled and inedible to me, and it was amazing to me how none of them could detect the foul odor or see the spoiled condition of this food. (They have even been known to appreciate the terrible spiritual food fed in the churches. Their leadership has eaten it but they also feed it to the children.) (No spiritual discernment whatsoever! 2Th.2:11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.) What will happen to the false leadership and their followers is history repeated. They are going into captivity to be devoured by the curse, in hope of their repentance. In Ezekiel 17, there were two great eagles, representing two portions of the great eagle of America; i.e., a civil war. One great eagle was D.S. Babylon which was conquering the eagle of Egypt. Representing God's people who were trusting in Egypt, their arm of flesh, to save them from D.S.Babylon that brought them into captivity. The morning I received this dream I also received Zechariah 5, the story of the apostate woman going into Babylonish captivity. This is an answer to what will happen to the woman and her offspring. At the same time, we received Jeremiah 46:19-28, which is Egypt conquered by Babylon. Many people of God had fled to Egypt to escape the Babylonish captivity, which means they trusted in the arm of flesh and were not in right standing with God to escape. In this text, a remnant learned their lesson and returned to their land, as also in Jeremiah 44:11-14. Then we received the same story again in Hosea 7:7-8:7. Some look around and think that the Satanists, communists, homosexuals, leftists, etc. are tearing down the country and they say it's because we have a bad president. No, he was sent by God. God's Word says that because we have bad Christians, “He” has been tearing down the country with bad leadership. The answer is not to fight or run; the answer is to repent. God took credit in the Bible for sending many kingdoms to conquer His people when they were apostates. Why is it they don't see this? It is because of their lack of love for the truth that they are happily fed garbage by the preachers.  God's people forgot how to read.) Then I found myself standing inside the room of the seventh son. (The place of the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love. The seventh is the place of rest; of abiding in Christ, of Jesus, our dwelling place and refuge.) Psa.91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.) Upon entering his room, it had the smell of a room that had just been wiped clean. A fresh and inviting aroma permeated the entire room. 2Co.2:15 For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish; 16 to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. I noticed that his bed (resting in the Lord) had been meticulously made. I could see that much care had gone into the making of his bed. (The rest in faith in the Lord's promises is what sanctifies and saves. Those who ran down to Egypt in their own works of the flesh to be saved are in Isa.30:1-3 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin, 2 that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. He said to them in Isa.30:15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not: 16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses (trusting in their flesh of the Beast); therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 17 One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill. i.e., a remnant.) I listened as he was praying for his family below in the kitchen. And as he was praying, I saw food come down out of Heaven and enter into his body. End of dream. Psa.78:24 And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven. Joh.6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. 32 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. (The Philadelphia Church is also typed as the Bride, the Church of the Man-child.) Also read confirmations: Church of Brotherly Love Man-child: Born of Philadelphia Church   Vision of Two Rivers Josh Fontaine - 09/01/2015 (David's notes in red) This is a good exhortation. As I looked at this vision, I saw that it was not speaking of two rivers, one good and one bad, but one river which started out clean but was polluted more and more as it passed through man's hands and went downstream. We were all given the Bible from the mountain of God's Kingdom. It is truth, it is pure, but many self-ordained, man-ordained shepherds have perverted it to divide the flock unto themselves. Their walk will not permit them to see the truth and purity. Their idols have deceived them, as in Ezekiel 14. The story of this vision is in Ezekiel 34 and you will notice they had the clear waters in their hand but decided to tweak it to confirm their own evil walk or lifestyles. Eze.34:18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet (or walk), and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. This is saying, don't trust second-hand and third-hand, etc. word; go straight to the head of the river and read the Bible and listen to the Spirit for yourself. Php.2:12 So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Dirty water will not clean the church. Eph.5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. In July, I received a vision from the Lord concerning polluted waters and bad fruit. Before I share that vision, I would like to say that I love the church! I'm passionate about the church and I'm more convinced than ever that the church is God's answer for the world. Having said that, it is also important to recognize that we aren't where we should be and the Lord is answering with a pure move of His Spirit in our day. I will attempt to share this vision just as I received it and not add any of my own opinions to it. In the vision, the Lord and I were together in a great valley that stretched several miles in each direction from where we were standing. The Lord led me to the banks of this river and it was a relatively wide river with rapidly-moving water. As we approached the banks, I began to notice a horrible smell coming from the water. Once we reached the edge of the bank, the smell was overpowering me and it reeked like severely stagnant water and when I looked down into it, there was no life in this water, other than tadpoles and leeches, but no vegetation or fish. What I was seeing didn't make sense to me because this was an active, rapidly moving river and should have been full of life. I asked the Lord how this water could be stagnant yet moving so rapidly. The Lord spoke to me and said that this water wasn't stagnant; it was polluted. He then took me up the river to the mouth of it. The river was flowing out of the side of a mountain. Located at the corner of the valley and the mountain there was a very large factory. It was surrounded by a very high fence with razor wire across the top. The large door had a sign written across the top of the door that read “The Modern Church”. At all four corners were high watchtowers with armed guards on each of them. The Lord spoke to me and said that these watchmen were looking for an enemy, but I thought it wasn't the enemy. I asked the Lord whom they considered their enemy and He said that they were watching for any man or woman who would dare challenge the practices of the modern church. He then told me that they were highly trained character assassins and they would stop at nothing to silence the voices of those who would speak out and challenge carnal practices of the modern church system. We went behind the factory where the river ran beside it and there was a concrete ramp leading down into the water. There were people dumping barrels of substances into this water. Each barrel was labeled. I saw labels like: humanism, universalism, carnality, lust, sexual immorality, compromise, greed, and fear of man. He then led me down the river and we came upon a large fruit field. We crossed a bridge and approached the trees. These trees were some of the greenest trees I've ever seen, but when I approached them they were either void of any fruit, or the fruit was molded, rotten and infested by insects. The Lord told me that these trees were meant to bear good fruit, but the roots were tapped into contaminated and polluted water. We then moved farther down the river to a village. I saw people walking around this village. The people were very trendy and modern in their style and dress. I walked up to a man with his back to me and touched his shoulder. He turned around and I stepped back because his eyes were whited out and he was zombified. Death was in his face. I began to declare to him that he was dead, but that I could lead him to life. He began to defend his position with all sorts of philosophies and nothing I said was impacting him. I asked the Lord why the man wouldn't hear me and He said because “He wouldn't endure sound doctrine”. The Lord then told me that this man was the product of people eating rotten fruit and drinking from polluted waters. The part that stood out the most about this encounter with this man was the fact that he was utterly convinced he was alive. He couldn't be convinced of his condition. From here, the Lord then took me into the mountain where the river began. He took me past the factory and into a cave where the water was coming out. He took me up into the mountain and the water flowing through this mountain was the clearest, most beautiful water I've ever seen. (The polluted river had one beginning, one mouth, and it was clean. Its beginning is the Word of the Lord in the mountain that represents the Kingdom of God.) This water was living and vibrant. The Lord spoke to me that this river was the pure movement of His Spirit. He told me that this river was where His power and anointing was found. He said that many people are looking for Him in the “valley of man”, but He wasn't found there. He was found in the hill of the Lord. (This reminds me of Ezekiel 34 where the shepherds partook from the pure waters of the Word but fouled it by their own walk. It was their own factory to turn out duplicates of themselves, so God's solution was to depart from them and take His sheep and minister to them the pure water through his end-time David Man-children.) He told me that He was issuing an invitation to His people to come and flow in this river. He said that even though the invitation was to all of His ministers, many wouldn't tap into it because of what was going to be required to flow there. (They would have to take up their cross to lose their old life but their love of the world won't permit it.) He then gave me the following requirements to stay in the pure river: Only say what He says with no fear of man Honor Him and love Him more than the praise of man Abstain from sexual immorality Never prostitute the gift He has given me for money Stay humble Always be a good husband to my wife and a good father to my children He said if I would maintain these things in my life and ministry, He would allow me to flow in His pure river. He then said if I violate any of these things then I would no longer be able to stay in the mountain of God. He then quoted Psa.24:3 Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He will receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. He said that many ministers begin their ministries in the clean river, but after time, find themselves in the valley. He warned me strongly that once you go down to the valley, though it's possible to make your way back to the mountain, it is almost impossible because many times it will require public repentance and public humility. Many have trouble dealing with their pride in doing that. My prayer in this hour is that the true church of Jesus Christ would rise up with clean hands and pure hearts. There are two rivers flowing. Let's decide to flow where He is flowing.   Satan's Latter Rain Valerie Gleaton - 08/25/2009 (David's notes in red) I wanted to share with you a dream I had in 1996. I told my friend about it the next day because it was a little frightening to me. A few days later, we were at Blockbuster and I ended up renting a film on Nostradamus. (Nostradamus was a false prophet who used occult practices, witchcraft and divination.) I must tell you, I never had an interest in him, nor could I understand why I was compelled to rent this film. I went home and we began to watch the film. I was working on my laptop at the time and really wasn't paying attention to the movie and all of a sudden, I looked up at the TV and witnessed my exact dream unfolding. My friend looked at me and clearly exclaimed, “That's your dream!” I've never shared it with any of my former pastors because I believed they would not be able to help me understand it. It would be great if you could provide me with an understanding of it. This dream is still as vivid to me today as if I had it last night. The setting was an Old English-type. I had exited from this old, stone building leading out to a cobblestone street. (The stone building is God's true Church of old times, for we are the stones of His Church when we “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints”. The stone street is walking on the Word of God.) There was a black full-size car parked across the street next to a two-foot, stacked, stone wall. Just as I reached the rear of the car, I looked up and saw the clouds turn dark gray and they began to roll like storm clouds. (Coming tribulations.) Then they rolled back and black rain began to come down on my children and me. (This is Satan's latter rain of false anointings and doctrines coming to attack the church. Nostradamus was used to symbolize these. He not only was into divination, a false prophecy anointing but was also devoted to Catholicism and its false doctrines. “Catholic Church” means “Universal Church” because it was a unifying of false religions, including apostate Christianity, into a one-world order religion, a type for our day. This black rain is like the Dragon/Serpent of Rev.12:15-16 spewing a river of lies out of his mouth to catch the woman and her children, but the earth swallowed these lies.) Crying with panic, I ushered my children into the car and told the driver to get them out of there. They were crying and did not want to leave me. As they drove off, they were up in the rear window, crying and reaching out for me. (The immature will have to be carried out of this deception to the secret place of the Most High by the mature - Rev.12:14; Psa.91.) I picked up a bicycle and prepared to ride it, as I stood and watched them go down the hill. (Children have to be carried on four wheels but riding a bicycle represents balance, without which one falls, and forward motion, without which one falls.) End of dream. In the film, it was exactly the same, except it was a Caucasian man and his two children, a boy and a girl, whereas I had three children, a girl and two boys.   False Knowledge and the Great Falling Away G.W. - 05/21/2008 (David's notes in red) I had a dream of walking into this beautiful glass building. As I looked into the room, I noticed that there were stacks and stacks of books everywhere in this room. I then looked up into the air of this building and I noticed people falling out of the air on top of these books. They would land on the stacks of books and fall down dead. I then looked up again to where they were falling from and instantly I was on the top balcony of where these people were falling from. I then saw a guy that was about to jump off the balcony onto the books below. I noticed in his hand was the first chapter of Ephesians. I then began to warn him, “Do not jump! You have to look at the Bible that is in your hand!” Without any hesitation, he said, “Oh, no. I'm going to jump.” He then turned around and jumped to his death without any hesitation. I then turned around and I saw this large wooden room that was empty. Immediately I sensed demonic presence all around the room. I began to cast out the presence in Jesus' Name. Immediately I awoke in the fear of God to meditate on the dream and 2 Thessalonians 2:3 came to mind: “let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”. The very evil heart of the glass house of apostate religion is not hidden from God or man. These people are relying on false perceptions of the sure salvation mentioned in Ephesians 1. They are trusting in all the false knowledge of the books that religious men have written to give them a false justification and eternal security. Their false hope is that this will cushion their fall from grace to spiritual death(?)   Resting in the Midst of Chaos K. H. - 05/20/2011 (David's notes in red) At the beginning of the dream, I was with two other young women in the living room of a one-story white house. (Curt Bryan had a dream that we were all in a white house and I was warning people to stay inside; a fire was outside and it burned everything a foot deep but it stopped at the property line.) Shortly after I realized I was there in the room, I felt in my spirit that we needed to hide because someone was coming to look for us. So, we all crouched down under the windowsill. Then I saw a man dressed in all black with a button-down shirt and nice pants. It looked like a uniform but it had no identifying marks on it. He ran up to the window and looked in the house to see us but he couldn't see us. Psa.91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I noticed that the window was open slightly and there was a screen blocking him from being able to stick his hand in the house but he pulled a long sewing needle out of his pocket and stuck it through one of the holes and tapped the windowsill with the needle. He quickly removed the needle and ran away from the house. As soon as he ran away, I looked outside the house and saw there was chaos like I had never seen in the street. People were running all over the place and there were burning homes and lots of destruction all over the area. I was unsure of what had happened to cause this chaos but I knew it was a judgment from the Lord. As I was looking at what was happening, I noticed a sister from our local fellowship. She was standing outside of her house and looking at what was going on. It struck me because, just like me, she was at peace. (In these times ahead, we will see many things that will be troubling and will cause unrest amongst many people around the world but His children who abide in Him will have peace. Praise God! Joh.14:26 But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. Then, I saw a group of between 10-20 dark-skinned men running up the street. (Those walking in darkness.) I was surprised to see that their heads were on fire; they had been burning for so long that their brains were exposed. (When I told my mom about their heads being on fire, my mom said, “Coals of fire.” (These are the enemies who have persecuted God's people and are under His wrath for it. Rom.12:20 But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.) This led me to look up Psalm 18 which is about judgment and preservation.) The men ran to a house a few houses away from the house I was at and stopped. One man ran up to the front door and knocked. Reverend Jesse Jackson answered the door. The man asked him, “Why is this happening to us?” He said, “You're toxic!” (And you are in bad shape if Jesse is looking down on you and considers you toxic.) I then was back in the house with the other two women and I had a feeling in my spirit that I needed to go because the uniformed man from the beginning of the dream was coming back with more men to lay siege to the house I was in. I immediately was translated from where I was. (There is no place that God cannot save you. Translations will be very common in the days ahead.) The next thing I knew, I was on a very green mountain top and the sun was shining very brightly. On the right, in the corner of my eye, I saw a large shadow coming and as I looked up I saw that it was huge wings overhead, covering me. (I was reminded of Psa.36:7 How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.) Then I woke up. (It is the Psalm 91 Passover.) Shortly after I woke up, the Lord spoke this scripture to me: Isa.63:8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their Saviour. I then read the verses above and below that verse that He spoke to, which says: 7 I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their Saviour. 9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. The understanding that the Lord gave me about this dream was that there was nothing to worry about in the times to come, just to stay close to Him and trust Him to protect and watch over me and the rest of His children. Thank you, Lord!   Why BUY Strong Delusion? B.A. - 04/20/2012 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in some kind of strange church building with no name. (It did not have the name, which means the true nature, character and authority of God, and it was strange because I didn't recognize their Jesus.) 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, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. I saw a long line of people going down to an altar to look into a small bowl (the golden calf). Exo.32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. On their way to the bowl, there was a large coffer and people would walk by and throw their money into the coffer, then they would proceed on for their opportunity to look inside this bowl. (This is the way that leads to death -- laying up an earthly treasure in an earthly box, trying to buy their way into God's gifts.) Mat.6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. I watched this for a while and was curious as to what was in that bowl and why some people were giving large amounts of money just to get the privilege of looking into this bowl. Pro.14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death. I watched as a man in a nice business suit (trying to make the flesh look good) went up to the coffer and put in a large check. I thought to myself, Wow, there must be something really special in that bowl. I decided to go have a look inside this bowl for myself. I didn't have any money with me to put into this coffer, but no one was paying attention to me anyway. (I wasn't trying to buy my way into God's kingdom. Also, I didn't look like them, so they weren't interested in me.) As I approached the bowl (idol), I could detect a foul odor. (Worshipping idols and walking in unholiness is a stench in the nostrils of God. We can be a sweet aroma to God in repentance and cleansing from sin.) (Num.15:3) And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savior unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock. It didn't seem to bother anyone else, but as I got closer to the bowl the smell became almost unbearable, like fire and brimstone. I quickly looked down into the bowl and, to my surprise, all I saw was the bottom of the bowl. I thought to myself, What are these people paying for? I don't see anything. (People are pouring money into churches that offer no spirituality in return whereas the Lord gives freely. Isa 55:1-3 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.  2  Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.  3  Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Jesus commanded His disciples in Mat.10:8, “freely you have received, freely give.”) The smell of the bowl was so overwhelming that I had to go outside and get some fresh air (a fresh breath of the Holy Spirit outside the camp where a legitimate sacrifice of flesh should be). I saw a couple of people standing around, so I went up to them and asked them, “What did you see in the bowl?” A woman who was standing in the group with a lot of makeup on her face (apostate church [faking spiritual beauty] and hiding behind their false doctrine), spoke up and asked me, “What did you mean by asking that question?” I said, “Well, I went and looked into the bowl and I didn't see anything but the bottom of the bowl”. She said to me, “If you had spiritual eyes like we do, you wouldn't have any trouble seeing what was in the bowl”. (Having self-delusion and pride will keep anyone from God's gift of true spiritual sight.) Joh.3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Rom.8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 2Co.4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Rom.1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And Rom.11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. Her words troubled me, as I believe that I do have spiritual eyes to see. There was a bench nearby, so I decided to go over and sit down to think about this bowl and what this woman said to me. As I was sitting there, an elderly man came up to me and asked if he could share the bench with me (a messenger from God). I said, “Sure, there's plenty of room for the both of us”. He said, “I couldn't help but notice your troubled face. I'd like to listen if you would like to share what's troubling you”. So I told this nice man about the bowl and what the woman had said to me. I told him I was concerned because I thought I did have spiritual eyes and didn't know why I couldn't see what they saw. (Those of us who come to the true knowledge of God will not have any problems seeing through the lies with our spiritual eyes.) This kind, elderly man said to me, “Daughter (Jesus?), you do have spiritual eyes and there is nothing wrong with your spiritual eyes”. I said, “Then why couldn't I see what was in that bowl like the other people?” He said to me, “It's their eyes that can't see”. They have hardened their hearts to the truth, therefore, God sent them a strong delusion to believe a lie. 2Th.2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. I said, “I don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain what you mean to me?” He said, “Did you notice that they all had to pay and some had to pay dearly for the privilege of looking into that bowl? That's not acceptable to God”. (The Lord means charging people a tithe by putting them under the law in the New Testament for their bowl of spiritual food is an abomination. If you have to buy it, then it's not true food. God wants a freewill offering from the heart -- 2 Corinthians 9:7. Jesus said tithing was of the Law -- Matthew 23:23-24. Ministers must freely give what they freely received and walk by faith -- [Read Greed and the Tithe.] Because of Jesus' commands they learned to walk by faith. Mat 10:8-10  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.  9  Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;  10  no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. Eph.2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. He said, “When they looked into that bowl, each one of them saw what they wanted to see or what they paid to see. The truth of the matter is, there was nothing in the bowl, as you saw for yourself; and because you did not pay to look into the bowl, the Lord allowed you to see the truth.” Mat.6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. If your eye is totally focused on Jesus Christ, who is “the light of the world”, then everything that enters into you will be Him and you will be full of Him. When you are full of Him, you are like Him. PTL!   Beware the Flood of the Serpent G.C. - 09/11/2008 (David's notes in red) The living waters that Jesus said would flow out of believers are thoughts, words and ways of the kingdom, which bring life. The waters that the serpent casts out of his mouth in Revelation 12 to destroy the woman are the thoughts, words and ways of the devil sent to pervert and destroy God's people. The strong have been able to use the media of the world in relative safety but it is becoming more and more dangerous as porn is common on TV and even religious TV and radio are imparting demons to Christians. The time will soon come when we should use none of their media and is here already in most cases. The wilderness will become more and more separation from the things of the World. UBM intends by God's grace to create a Christian channel that will be Unleavened Bread to feed God's people. God's people were warned in Exodus 12 that during the last seven days, as types of years, if leaven was found in the people's houses they would be cut off from His people. If a little leaven leavens the whole lump, what will a lot of leaven do from the world? There can be no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness even now. Fellowship is giving and receiving. When we go to the world it should be only giving and not receiving of their thoughts, words and ways. In any relationship with the lost we are not to be yoked to unbelievers. Permission is only given in marriage when the believer is already married to one so that they may be saved through your faith and example. In a dream, I was living a simple existence in the deep woods. Anytime I needed to travel somewhere, I would swim through a deep creek that would take me anywhere I needed to go. This creek was my lifeline to the outside world. I did not have a car or any means of transportation, so the creek was my bridge to the outside. I enjoyed the creek and was pleased to be able to use it. At some point in the dream, I was standing on the bank of the creek with my brother in the Lord, CJ. We looked over to our left and saw a massive wall of floodwater rushing toward us from upstream. The floodwater swept through the area and swelled the creek. After the floodwaters came through, the creek was polluted. The floodwaters had brought massive amounts of large snakes and fish into the creek. CJ and I could see all types of large snakes on the shores of the creek and hanging from the trees, as well as swimming through the water, all of which were brought in from the floodwaters. The creek no longer appeared safe and useful like it had once been. CJ said that he would never get in the creek again because of all the snakes. I told him that I was not afraid of the snakes, and they could not hurt me. I don't know if this was false bravado or confidence in the Lord, but nonetheless I was not about to let these snakes scare me off from using the creek. I told CJ I was going to swim in the creek like I had always done. I got in the creek and began to swim through it. I could feel all the fish and snakes in the water; my feet would brush against them and it would feel strange but I continued swimming. I noticed a lot of snakes but I was not scared, even though many of them seemed dangerous. Then after a few minutes of swimming, I glanced backwards and saw a very large, hideous snake coming toward me. For the first time I began to realize this was not a good idea, and I realized the creek was no longer a safe place. The snake swam up to me and he was two feet around and had rows of razor-sharp teeth like a shark's. He was going to bite me for sure! I straddled him, put my hands inside his mouth, and grabbed onto his jaws to keep him from biting me. To my surprise he could not or would not bite me; he could have easily bitten my hands off but somehow his jaws were frozen. I managed to swim back to shore and vowed never to use the creek again. It was no longer the same useful tool that it had once been; now it was totally overtaken by vile creatures. Over and over I keep seeing the verse, even in the dream this came to mind. The floodwaters that rushed through the area reminded me of it: Rev.12:14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. I strongly feel that the creek is our connection to the world; it is our comfort zone. It represents habit, ease and easy access to modern society. I was living in the wilderness but I still had this way to the world if I wanted, like a bridge. As Christians, we live in the world but we are not supposed to be like the world. In the past, it has been possible for Christians to do who live amongst society, all the while remaining spotless. But I feel that there is coming a time that if we do not completely and utterly abandon everyday modern habits of interacting carelessly in secular society, we ourselves will become demon-infested. For a long time, God has had grace on many in the kingdom because of the fact that it's almost impossible to completely separate yourself from society and the world. But I feel there is coming a time, and now is, that the world and its members will be so full of evil and demonic oppression that we will have to completely separate ourselves from them, except to give the message of the Gospel. Our whole being will be solely for the Gospel -- nothing else. I feel that once the Serpent's flood comes at the beginning of the wilderness God will totally cut off and curse our bridges to the world. He is doing this because he is cutting off Egypt and He does not want us to swallow the polluted rivers of water that the whole earth is about to drink. There is about to be a great demonic outbreak and God is going to spiritually quarantine us by destroying all those old paths and bridges to the world. God is warning us that He is about to curse Egypt and make a separation between them and His people, to keep us from receiving their plagues. The things that God has had grace on for years are about to expire and He will no longer allow safe passage back and forth from Egypt to the wilderness. If we seek to continue traveling to and fro, from the two worlds like an open border we may very well lose our life.   God Said, “Go! Gather the People!” B.A. - 05/26/2013 (David's notes in red) In a vision, I saw an angel of the Lord come down out of Heaven and give David Eells a scroll-like piece of paper. (David represents the Man-Child company of Davids.) I walked over to David and I was allowed to read the wording on the top of the page and it read, Greater UBM in bold letters and under that on the second line, in slightly smaller letters, it read Member List. (Meaning members of Jesus' body in greater UBM.) The angel of the Lord spoke this message to David: “Go! Gather the people on this list.” I discerned that this was a command from the Lord to His Davids, that very soon they will be gathering His people to go to the feast! (God is going to send the Man-child Davids to gather the Woman company out of Babylon and take them into the wilderness where they will be nourished.) Rev.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (The overcomers will walk on the highway of holiness and be sanctified.) Isa.35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness (separation from the world); the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein. (They will be feasting on the unleavened bread, the true word of God for the seven years.) Exo.23:15 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days (the seven years of tribulation) thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me empty: (They had to bear fruit.) Exo 12:15 Seven days (the seven years of tribulation) shall ye eat unleavened bread (pure truth); even the first day ye shall put away leaven (pollution) out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. This command to the Man-child ministers to “Go! Gather the people” will be a repeat of history, as the Lord said it would be. Ecc.3:15 That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. Exo.3:2 And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him [Moses] in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. ... 10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt (the world). Moses was incapable, according to his own witness, to lead God's people out of Egypt and through the wilderness tribulation. Father chose him to prove that His power is made perfect through man's weakness. This is a type for the Man-child ministers who will do the same thing. The wilderness represents a lack of dependency on man and instead learning of our supernatural supply from Heaven. It was a place of testing to weed out the unbelieving mixed multitudes, meaning part Christian and part world. The flesh of Israel died in the wilderness. Their children, representing the fruit of the spiritual man, went into the Promised Land. The faithful Joshuas and Calebs were alive and remained to enter the spiritual land of milk and honey in their body. Eze.20:33 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you: (as it was in Egypt before the people went into the wilderness tribulation) 34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out; 35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. 36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah. History will repeat. 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; 38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. No more denominations or demonizations among them to distract their allegiance. 40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. 41 As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. 42 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I sware to give unto your fathers.

From Paul's petition that the Colossians be enlightened about God's redemptive working in their lives, he moved naturally into his epistle's main emphasis—the exaltation and preeminence of Christ. In this paragraph (vv. 15–20) Paul mentioned seven unique characteristics of Christ, which fittingly qualify Him to have “the supremacy” (v. 18). Christ is: (1) the image of God, (2) the Firstborn over Creation, (3) Creator of the universe, (4) Head of the church, (5) Firstborn from the dead, (6) the fullness of God, and (7) the Reconciler of all things. No comparable listing of so many characteristics of Christ and His deity are found in any other Scripture passage. Christ is the supreme Sovereign of the universe![1]            Moving from describing what Christ has already done for us. To whom He is in His core. He hangs his thoughts, on the same two words. “He is.”                       To the Pharisees of His day, Jesus affirmed His deity before them in John 8:58, with the words “I AM.” Now, what we have Paul doing to the Colossians of his day and to the church of our day. He's building on what the Lord has revealed about Himself, when He said, “I AM”, by saying, “He is.”   To the church there at Colossae. This young church that was being threatened with this false and heretical picture of Christ. We're going to get more into that, in Colossians 2. Paul here, in our text for today, describes Christ for who He is. That's the title of today's message, “He Is.” Because in our time together, we're going to work through these four magnificent and unequalled verses. Verses which one commentator says, “there never was a higher Christology.” What we're going to do, is work through these verses, through the lens of those four “He is” statements.   Colossians 1:15 - “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” So, right away we have to ask the question? Who is “He” referring to here? Who is the “He” of verse 15? Well, the “He” is the “beloved Son” mentioned back in verse 13. “He” is the One, as we saw back in verse 14, is the One in whom we have “redemption” and “forgiveness of sins.” That's a reference, of course, to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus of Nazareth. The son of Joseph and Mary. The Galilean. The long-awaited and foretold Messiah of Israel. The One who died on a Roman cross. The One whose lifeless body was placed in a sealed tomb. The One who eventually rose from the grave. That man. Jesus. The God-Man. Is described by Spirit-lead Paul here, as the “image of the invisible God.”                 John 4:24 says, God is spirit and He cannot be seen Though it is grammatically possible to translate this as “Firstborn in Creation,” the context makes this impossible for five reasons: (1) The whole point of the passage (and the book) is to show Christ's superiority over all things. (2) Other statements about Christ in this passage (such as Creator of all [1:16], upholder of Creation [v. 17], etc.) clearly indicate His priority and superiority over Creation. (3) The “Firstborn” cannot be part of Creation if He created “all things.” One cannot create himself. (Jehovah's Witnesses wrongly add the word “other” six times in this passage in their New World Translation. Thus they suggest that Christ created all other things after He was created! But the word “other” is not in the Gr.) (4) The “Firstborn” received worship of all the angels (Heb. 1:6), but creatures should not be worshiped (Ex. 20:4–5). (5) The Greek word for “Firstborn” is prōtotokos. If Christ were the “first-created,” the Greek word would have been prōtoktisis.[i] 1 Timothy 1:17 says, “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” Now, contrast the invisibility of the true God, with all the false gods of the world. Whether that be Brahma of the Hindu religion. Or Buddha, or the countless other deities whose likenesses have been carved into tree trunks or painted in caves over the centuries. For those so-called “gods” who are fabricated and made in the image of sinful humans; they are totally visible and creaturely and observable. They have mouths and eyes and noses, and hands and feet. It reminds us of Psalm 115:5-7 which says the following about false gods and idols. It says, “They have mouths, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see; they have ears, but they cannot hear, they have noses, but they cannot smell; they have hands, but they cannot feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; they cannot make a sound with their throat.” Then that same psalmist concludes, “Those who make them will become like them, everyone who trusts in them.” We see this phenomenon, men bowing down to deaf and dumb and worthless idols, not just in the Old Testament, in Psalm 115, but in the New. Romans 1:22-23, again, speaking of the unbeliever, says, “Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and of four-footed animals and crawling creatures.” Isaiah 44:14 He cuts down cedars for himself, And takes the cypress and the oak; He [a]secures it for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a pine, and the rain nourishes it. 15 Then it shall be for a man to burn,For he will take some of it and warm himself; Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread;Indeed he makes a god and worships it; He makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.16 He burns half of it in the fire;With this half he eats meat; He roasts a roast, and is satisfied.He even warms himself and says,“Ah! I am warm,I have seen the fire.”17 And the rest of it he makes into a god,His carved image.He falls down before it and worships it, Prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”   1:15 He is The Image of the Invisible God: Christ was the perfect image, an exact likeness and in the very form of GOD John 14:9 – “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” Those words, bringing it back to Colossians 1, testify to the fact that Jesus is a visible representation of God. Now we have Paul here in Colossians 1:15, referring to Christ as “the image of God.” That word for “image” is eikon. It's a word, a Greek term, which we get our English word, “icon”. It means “copy” or “likeness.” Which fits perfectly here. Because what Paul is saying here in Colossians 1:15, is that Jesus is the perfect image – the exact likeness – of God Himself. Jesus is essentially and absolutely the perfect expression and representation of God the Father. As it's put by the author of Hebrews in Hebrews 1:3 – “He is the radiance of His glory and the exact imprint of His nature.”   2 Corinthians 4:3 says, “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”                 Back in Colossians , as Paul is writing this Colossian church, you'll recall was staring down the threat of this new heretical teaching. This “Christ-plus” form of theology. This “Christ-plus” form of worship. “Christ-plus-angels.” Or “Christ-plus-philosophy.” Or “Christ-plus-ascetism.” Paul redirects them here, with this supreme truth: Which is that the Christ that they worshiped. The Christ that they'd been taught about by Epaphras, was all the Christ they needed. A Christ who was more than a good man. More than a great teacher. More than a compelling miracle worker. Rather, He is the image of the invisible God. An exact, visible representation of God, and in fact, God Himself.   The Firstborn over all creation: That term – “firstborn” is used in at least three different senses in scripture.   First – you'll see it used in a very literal sense. Like in the description of the birth of Jesus. Luke 2:7 it says that Mary “gave birth to her firstborn son.” In other settings – the word “firstborn” is used in a figurative sense. Like Exodus 4:22, that's that scene where God is speaking to Moses about the coming exodus out of Egypt. God says to Moses, “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Israel is My son, My firstborn”'.” Now there, there's no sense of any actual birth taking place, as with Mary giving birth to Jesus. Instead, the Lord uses the word “firstborn” there, to describe the special plans and purposes and role that He has for Israel. Then there's this third way that the term “firstborn” is used in scripture. That's to designate one's place of superiority, or supremacy, or uniqueness. In Psalm 89, we're going to see “firstborn” used in that sense, of supremacy.   Psalm 89:20. It says, “I have found David, My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him.” 27 “I also shall make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.” Now, we know that David was not the “firstborn” of Jesse. He in fact was the last born. But here, the word “firstborn” is being used to indicate supremacy, primacy, sovereignty. To make David, the king, “the highest of the kings of the earth.” That's the meaning of “firstborn” here. Going back to Colossians, it is in that sense, that third sense, that Paul is using that term.               Christ has pre-eminence which means he has the highest rank or position and inherits the Kingdom as the firstborn did in the OT They always received all the inheritance or at least double the portion of the others in the family                  This passage actually highlights and emphasizes the absolute sovereignty and supremacy of Jesus Christ. He is totally and absolutely sovereign over the skies that He formed. Over the land masses He molded. Over the species He developed.  As Hebrews 1:2 says, He is the “heir of all things.” He outranks everything. All people, everyone in the entire world He has made.                  There have been, over the centuries, many false teachers and many false religions, who have taken this verse and run with it, to suggest that Christ is a created being, and that Christ is not God. They'll point to this very verse, Colossians 1:15, as backup for their lies. They'll say things like, “look, its right there in the word.” “Firstborn”. “Christ was born; therefore, He is created.” Now, they'll try to be nice, and play nice. They'll say, He's still, of the highest rank in order of created things, and created beings.” Meaning, He's entitled to our honor and special respect and reverence. But they will still insist that He was born. He was born as a created being. Just like you and I are born as created beings, but He's not God.           Let's go through some of the reasons why “firstborn”, that term “firstborn” in verse 15, does not, and cannot mean “created.”   1.    First, it's impossible for Christ to be both created, and the Creator of everything. If verse 15, as the Jehovah Witnesses and other groups would have it, is saying that Christ is created. A created thing cannot create itself. Creatures aren't self-created. They are created, by instead, whatever created them. Second, here's another reason why “firstborn” cannot mean created. We're told elsewhere in the scriptures that the “firstborn” Son of God received worship from the angels. Hebrews 1:6, speaking of God the Father says, “And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, ‘And let all the angels of God worship Him.'” Well, creatures, we know from going back to the ten commandments in Exodus 20, mere creatures are not to be worshiped. So, if Christ is a created being, the angels shouldn't be worshiping Him. It would be a violation of the ten commandments. He'd be wrongly and idolatrously receiving worship from other created beings. The angels would be wrong to worship Him. We would be wrong to worship Him. Also if this were true under the Mosaic Law, the Jews were right to kill Him. For He blasphemed by holding Himself out to be God. 3.    A third reason why “firstborn” cannot mean created. Verse 15, and that word there for “firstborn”, it doesn't stand in isolation with what's being said in this section of scripture as a whole. The point of this passage, verses 15-18, as we're going to see, in its entirety, is to demonstrate Christ's preeminence over all things. Which includes the fact, as we'll see in verse 16, that He is the Creator of all; and includes the fact, in verse 17, that He upholds and sustains all things. The context of this whole section very clearly is that Christ has priority and preeminence over His creation. Superiority over and supremacy over everything. Not that He's a created being. If Paul were suddenly, in verse 15, to say He's a created being, he'd actually be agreeing with the very heresy he's trying to refute throughout this whole book. So, for those reasons, and for so many others, we affirm that what Paul here was saying, when he said that Christ is the “firstborn over all creation”, is not that Christ was created by God. Or that He is less in essence than God. Quite the contrary. The word “firstborn” here, instead is a statement about Christ's position of supremacy over His creation. It's a statement of His rank of rulership and dominion. It's a statement of His deity and His preeminence. In fact, the false teachers, who have twisted “firstborn” to mean what they want it to mean. Would do well to read the next verse. Look at verse 16, it says, “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him.”            So, here in verse 16, Christ's supremacy is expressed in terms of His relationship to creation. His rulership over creation. You'll note that the way that this is done is through these three different prepositions that are being used here. It is “by Him all things were created.” Then it says, “all things have been created through Him.” Last, it says all things have been created “for Him.” “By Him.” “Through Him.” “For Him.” Each of those prepositions expresses a different thought. We're going to look at each of those prepositions and thoughts as we work our way through this verse.            First, is the statement here, that: “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.” So, “By Him all things were created.” When it says here that all things were created “by Him.” The idea is they were created through the power that was essential to Him. Creative power that is sourced in Him. Creative power that is a part of His being. Note the scope of His creative power.           The magnitude of His creative power is referenced in these three different areas that we see laid out in the rest of verse 16.               First, His creative power reaches everywhere. First, he says, “All things in heaven and on earth.” So, Christ created all things in the heavens. Meaning, He created the stars, and the planets, and the galaxies, and the constellations, and all other planetary marvels. He created all things. Then it says He created things both living and non-living here on earth. It says, “both in the heavens and on earth.”            Second, it says His creative power extends or reaches to all things “visible and invisible” there in verse 16. As we're going to see when we get to Colossians 2, the false teachers there in Colossae were promoting these false dualistic beliefs. Under which material things, things you can touch and taste and smell. Things that are “visible”, to use the word here, were considered essentially evil. Whereas immaterial things, “things . . . invisible” were considered fundamentally good. Paul is collapsing these two ideas in together, and he's saying that Christ created all of it. He created all the things we can see.  He created all the things we cannot see. He created the trees and flowers. But He also created that unmistakable scent that each one gives off. He created the person. But He also created the conscience that resides within that person. He created the planet we live on, materially. Just as much as He creates the seasons or has created the seasons of summer and winter. Seasons of cold and darkness and seasons of warmth and light. He's created it all. Visible, invisible, all of it.      Third, His creative power, it says, includes “thrones, dominions, rulers, and authorities.”  1:16 Paul gives us the ranks of angels and tells us that Christ created them and is superior to them to stop the heresy of angel worship being taught by false teachers.          Ephesians 1:20-21, it says, “. . . when He raised Him from the dead [speaking of Christ] and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion . . .” Or Ephesians 3:10 says “. . . the manifold wisdom of God [that] might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.” Colossians 2:15 says, “When he had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.” Then here in Colossians 1:16, Paul refers to “thrones and dominions and rulers and authorities.”  Those are referring to angels. We know from Colossians 2, that the false teachers that had started to infiltrate Colossae there, they were promoting the worship of angels, as a part of their heretical teaching.  Paul is outright rejecting those beliefs and practices here.             Paul is making it clear here in verse 16, that angels, whatever their rank, whether holy or fallen, whether “thrones, dominions, rulers, and authorities.” They are all mere creatures. Their Creator and Ruler is none other than the preeminent One, the Lord Jesus Christ.            Again, he's getting out in front of this heresy. He's saying to the Colossians here, essentially “Why would you be worshiping angels?” “When the One you ought to worship, is the One who created those angels.” Christ Himself.               At the end of verse 16, it also says, “all things have been created through Him.” That speaks of Christ being the divine agent in creation. In other words, Christ is the Person of the Godhead through whom God's creative acts were performed. Of course, God the Father is the Creator. Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Or Psalm 33:6, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made. But the three Persons of the Trinity participated actively together in the works of creation. John 1:3 says, “All things came into being through Him, [Jesus Christ, that's a reference to Christ] and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” Hebrews 1:2 says, “. . . in these last days [He] [meaning God the Father] has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.”             In other words, in the act of creation, God did not act apart from Christ. Rather, it was through Christ, that God performed His various creative acts. The Son was the “master Workman” in Creation. Christ was the agent through whom God accomplished His creative acts. The point is, you cannot say that although Christ created some things. That He Himself was created originally. The One who is “firstborn” over all creation, is most certainly not a creature. Instead, as we see here, He is the very Creator.            At the end of verse 16, we're told that all things were created “for Him.” He's the One “for” whom all things were created. Meaning, the purpose and the goal of all things in creation, lies in their relation to Him – to Christ. They are literally for Him, “unto Him”, it could be translated. We need to think of the profoundness of that statement that's being made there. That all things are “for Him.”             People today, should be praising Jesus Christ when they see anything in creation. Whether it be six feet in front of us. Or the minute complexities of life as seen through a microscope. Or when it's looking out into the galaxies through a telescope. Glory should be attributed to Him. Not to the angels. Not to Mother Nature. Not to some atheistic principle of evolution.             No! It's all, as this text says: “By Him.” And “Through Him.” And “For Him.” Our natural tendency, even as believers. Which is to label Christ. We think of Christ as Christmas Jesus. The One who was in the manger in Bethlehem. We think of Him as carpenter Jesus. The son of Joseph and Mary. Building furniture. Never talking back to his parents. The One who grew in wisdom and stature and favor both with God and with man. We think of Him as crucified Jesus. The One who bore the punishment for our sins and the stripes that were laid across His back and took the crown of thorns upon His head. Fulfilled the Father's perfect plan by offering salvation for those who would believe in Him. Or then we put Him in the category of the comforting Jesus. The One whose promises we look to for hope and support. The One we look to in prayer.  The One we cry out to. The One through whom we find kinship with others who have believed in His name. That's good to do all of that. Because He is each of those things. But behind it all, is this great truth. That the Jesus of the bible. The Jesus of Nazareth. Is the eternal Son of God. The second Person of the Trinity. The “image of the invisible God.” The “firstborn of all creation.” The Creator. All things were created by Him. All things were created through Him. All things were created for Him.         [1] Geisler, N. L. (1985). Colossians. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B.

Numerous leaders within the NAR have laid claim to having personal encounters with Jesus Christ, and some of these leaders have correlated this to the personal calling as a modern-day Apostle. One individual in particular has stated in multiple interviews that he encountered Jesus while in prison, receiving salvation and an apostolic calling upon his life. However, questions arise as to the credibility of such claims and why new apostles are needed today when we are under apostolic teaching, which is the written Word of God. Join me as we take an in-depth look at Alexander Pagani's testimony, and we consider it in light of Scripture and the Apostles of Christ found in Scripture.

In case you're wondering if there was a time in my life when I was a pastor that I've not shared with you before, I have not. In fact, I have never been in full time ministry. With an episode title of Professing Your Faith, you might think that this episode is about how to tell other people about Jesus. Whether you think that episode topic is a good one or not, that's not where I'm going today. Well, I guess I kind of am, but not really. You'll see.

The Power of the Gospel, Part 3 A Sermon by Pastors Richard Sfameni, Lead Pastor of Victory Church in Providence, RI. Romans 1:18-23  NKJV 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.   For more information about Victory Church visit our website, www.victorychurchri.com or our Facebook page     

9/8/2024 Galatians 6:3-8 The Arrogance Of Man Does Not Bring Blessing From God Intro: You probably don't know or have ever met an arrogant, boastful, proud person that gets on your nerves have you? I didn't think so. I believe there are more of those type people around than I have ever seen! People believe something and not only won't change their minds but they want you to believe just like they do and get angry if you don't. Our American media is cancelling people who don't believe what they want them to believe. I have been cancelled on YOutube. That is arrogance! What happened to free speech? It's gone and it's going to get worse. Man in his pursuit of the god of power…..has become the arbiter of truth…… not the Bible, not common sense, not love for each other, not compassion, not fairness…… but power!! ……. and being god gives you absolute power! Such arrogance! We are that arrogant today. Romans 1:21-22 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

The book of Joshua teaches us that we can experience victory in our lives every day by faith in the LORD! “And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith…” (1 John 5:4-5). In this last chapter Joshua reminds the people and admonishes them never to forget the LORD's blessings they have experienced in the past. A blessed people should be a grateful and thankful people.  Paul warns us in Romans 1:21-22, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”.   In verses 1-4, Joshua recalls how the LORD chose Israel to be His special people and how they were set apart to serve Him and be a blessing to the world. In verses 5-7, he recounts the history of their deliverance out of Egypt. God sent Joseph ahead to Egypt to preserve the nation during the famine, and then He sent Moses and Aaron to deliver the nation from bondage. All of this was a fulfillment of what God had promised to Abraham centuries before (Gen. 15:1-17).   God judged the gods and rulers of Egypt by sending ten plagues to the land, climaxing with the death of the firstborn (Exodus 7-12). God not only brought His people out, but He also led them through the Red Sea and drowned the Egyptian army in its waters (Exodus 14-15). God instructed His people to observe the Passover as an annual reminder of their redemption from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 12-13). In his farewell speech in Deuteronomy, Moses frequently reminded the Jews that they had once been slaves in Egypt, but the Lord had set them free (Deut. 5:15; 6:12; 8:14; 13:5,10; 15:15; 16:3, 6; 20:1; 24:22). It does a believer good to remember what it was like to be in bondage to sin and then to rejoice in the redemption that was purchased so dearly for us on the cross. It's a dangerous thing to take the gift of salvation for granted.   In Joshua 24:8-10, Joshua recalls how the LORD guided Israel. God brought Israel out that He might bring them in (Deut. 6:23). His goal for them was the Promised Land, but their sin at Kadesh Barnea caused them to wander in the wilderness until the old unbelieving generation had died off. When Balaam tried to curse Israel, God turned the curse into a blessing (Num. 22-24; Deut. 23:5; Neh. 13:2). Whether Satan came against Israel as the lion (the army of the Amorites) or as the serpent (the curses of Balaam), the Lord defeated him.   Then in verses 11-13, Joshua reminds them that it was the LORD that gave them their land. The same God who took Israel through the Red Sea also took them across the Jordan River and into their inheritance. Except for a temporary defeat at Ai (Josh. 7), and a humiliating compromise with Gibeon (chap. 9), Joshua and his army defeated every enemy in the land because the Lord was with them. In Joshua 24:13, God's words remind us of what Moses said to Israel in Deuteronomy 6:10. Once again, the emphasis is on the goodness of God and all that He did for Israel because He loved them.   Sadly, later when the Jews started taking their blessings for granted, they began drifting away from sincere worship of the Lord. And the same thing can happen to us if we are not careful! We should never forget the LORD's blessings, because a grateful heart is a strong defense against the devil's temptations.   God bless!

Episode 45: Infinite Devotion - Why we have chosen a permanent commitment to each other In this episode of Dom Sub Devotion, we discuss the profound impact of the permanent, lifelong commitment we have made to each other. We explore how this “all in” approach has fostered safety, freedom, and a deeper connection…all while making it possible for each of us to be on our individual journey of self discovery. We share personal reflections from each of our first failed marriages, and what we learned from being the ones to leave those relationships that has helped us each grow. And we discuss the vulnerability and fears associated with making this kind of commitment. This episode is filled with tears and deep vulnerability from both of us, and we share it with you as an example of why we believe that commitment has even more of a place in today's world than ever before. And it ends with a very special, unplanned public declaration of this permanence of our love and commitment to each other, shared with all of you as witnesses to this promise.

Professing to seek holiness, without understanding its nature, they have snared themselves in delusions which bring no purity. Bent, as they say, upon "mortifying the flesh," falsely identifying "the flesh" with the mere body, and working upon the theology which teaches that it is the body which ruins the soul, they lay great stress on weakening and macerating the corporeal frame, not knowing that they are thus feeding sin, fostering pride, making the body less fit to be the helpmeet of the soul, and thereby producing unholiness of the darkest type in the eye of God.

Send us a Text Message.“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”‭‭—Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭Support the Show.The American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Show Notes and Transcript Our good friend, Tanya Gaw, founder of Action4Canada returns to Hearts of Oak for a discussion on protecting faith, family, and freedom in Canada, highlighting challenges in education and Traitor Trudeau's stance on Israel.  She advocates for nationalist movements, scrutinizing globalist influence, and preserving Canadian values.  Emphasizing unity and upholding Christian-based culture, this podcast underscores the importance of challenging mainstream narratives for a secure future. Tanya Gaw is a committed Christian and defender of faith, family, and freedom. She is the founder of Action4Canada which is a grassroots, not for profit organization committed to upholding the Canadian constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Tanya began her journey in 2015 in response to the government passing legislation that severely impacted Canadian democracy and freedom. Tanya has been working to give the silent majority a voice through letter writing campaigns, petitions and organizing events, to help raise public awareness. Action4Canada not only educates people on what is happening, they effectively equip, encourage and mobilize Canadians to take action. Tanya also retained Rocco Galati, a top constitutional lawyer, and commenced legal action against the BC and Federal government as of August 16, 2021. This action is in response to the government's COVID-19 emergency measures wherein they have committed egregious crimes against the citizens of Canada in an effort to attain global control. Her greatest mission is to declare that Canada is founded on Judeo Christian biblical principles, forming our laws and our values, and provides a system of governance that sets us apart from totalitarian, extremist and communist regimes. Because of it…we have the freedom to believe…or not to believe…without fear of persecution, oppression, and even death. Connect with Tanya and Action4Canada...

It's been a long time. Tanya, thank you so much for joining us once again today. (Tanya Gaw) Thank you, Peter. It's good to be here. I always appreciate the work that you do. So I'm excited about the conversation today. That's great that we can talk from Europe all the way over there to Canada and connect and have a conversation about the work, certainly you're doing and I think it massively helps our viewers understand and of course the WarRoom Posse will be watching so they will get just north of the border there of what is happening, but obviously if Tanya's been with us twice before, if the viewers or listeners have not followed her then you can follow her, there is her Twitter handle @gawtanya and of course action4canada.com is the website and shows the the great work that Tanya is doing there in Canada of course and you're there just in case our viewers haven't because it's been a while, so you're the founder of Action 4 Canada, protecting faith, family, and freedom, educating, equipping, encouraging, and mobilizing Canadian citizens. And I always find that when you speak to someone in the country, you learn from what they are doing, irrelevant to whether it's just for that country, you can take away principles and ideas and learn what is happening there. But you put out weekly videos along with your email list, along with everything else on the website. And one of the most recent ones caught my eye. And it was, I think you start looking at education, and then we'll get on to the whole issue of Israel and Hamas, I can't call it Palestine, Israel and Hamas, and what is happening there and how that has affected, we've seen the effect, certainly our media or education system across the board here in the UK, I think it's the same for there. But you begin the video with talking about schooling and education and how the, I guess the state system is indoctrinated. Do you want to just let us know what the situation is. You mentioned home-schooling. What is the education system like in Canada as you look at it as someone who loves freedom and as a Christian? It's dire, as it is in our southern friends in America and across the waters to the UK and Europe. I mean, this is a global attack against our kids and against the natural family. And so our education system with Trudeau being fully on board with the UN and the WEF he's just going in lockstep with whatever you know they suggest or demand and so as a signatory state I always say that the UN is an unelected body interfering with our democracy worldwide in western nations we've got to fully pull out of the UN and so with the comprehensive sexual education which I'm sure most of your viewers are very familiar with, it comes by a different name in Canada. It may be SOGI 123 in BC and Alberta. The Win Sex Ed Plan in Ontario, and by different names in other provinces, Cirque, etc. And so what we did many years ago is, in 2016 is when I became aware about this agenda and the sexualization of our children, the indoctrination, and started to really try to bring attention to it. But Canadians weren't ready to hear it. Oh, people should love who they want to love. And it just needs to be acceptance. And this is an anti-bullying program. And it's like, no, it's much more sinister than that. And so in a way, COVID has been a friend of ours as far as the information war is concerned, because it finally brought to the attention to citizens around the world that were under attack by a globalist, Marxist, communist, whatever you want to call it, agenda and anti-family, anti-Christian, anti-life. agenda. And so finally, I had about 55,000 members that were signed up with Action 4 Canada when COVID hit, and it pretty much doubled that. And then at some point, I finally stepped out and I started talking to the individuals who hadn't been following me for a while about the LGBTQ sexual activist agenda that had infiltrated our school system. And so when we see, of course, as the other side is starting to lose control. I call it like a tug of war. There's that mud in the middle and the LGBTQ have had a good handle and been pulling us into the mud and our families and our kids. And now that with all of the awareness and all of the work like Action for Canada and organizations and people like yourself, we finally are starting to pull the LGBTQ in the mud and they're losing grip. And so when that's happening though, They want to up their agenda. And they became more aggressive and more transparent. And people in parents, the average parent can't ignore because their children are coming home and saying, I identify as the opposite sex. So what we do as an organization, we're not just there to provide information and scare the bejeebers out of people. We actually want to give them resources and to help them to actively get involved. So on this subject, we created notices of liability to serve to school boards and trustees and to say that you can't sexualize children and you can't groom them, you can't, you know, extort them, exploit them, etc. And so we have just really been pushing back. And then the other thing we're doing is we have a flyer and I have over 100 chapters nationwide. And so our teams within the communities go to the schools and they actually hand this flyer, this truth bomb into the the hands of parents who are dropping their kids off, you know, going and working two jobs just to put food on the table or pay the rent or the mortgage here in Canada. And so anyways, by that we've created a lot of awareness. And so it's really bad. I'm sure that you've gone and you probably had many special guests on talking about the fact that the programs I did a special in October. It's on my website at the top of political LGBTQ. It's under current issues in our menu. And I proved a whistle-blower had given me a teacher's resource and it was called a teacher's toolkit. And within that toolkit, it was for ages kindergarten to grade six. And I highlighted in yellow the conversations that they were having with kindergartners, grade one, just dropping that little bit of indoctrination, starting the thought about two genders, how they were nefariously coming in and beginning, starting that allyship. You know, they talk about LGBTQ allies. And in one of them, it even went towards, like, if you're a friend, now this is like grade three, if your friend identifies as the, you know, opposite sex, and their parents don't support them, kind of like, what will you do? And then it says, if your friend identifies as an owl. How would you respond? And of course, that's the furries. That's the bestiality part of it. You just drop, you know, a little thought like that into a child's brain and it grows. And then they begin to grow with the allyship and turn kids away from their parents and that they're loved and accepted here. year. And then of course, they have the clubs that meet at school, the Gay Straight Alliance clubs. And of course, they're changing those names now because we're on to them. And it has, you know, a bad name. So let's change it to, you know, the Rainbow Club or however it works. So we're finding on mass, it is a 911 crisis in Canada, the amount of kids that are being indoctrinated that are identifying as the opposite sex. I don't believe with one second that there There is one trans child that's a complete and utter lie from the pit of hell. And so now it's a matter of fighting back. And one of the ways we did that is in Canada is a big country with all the provinces and territories. So I always look at France, right, and the French resistance and, you know, look back at strategies of war and this being an information war. How do you deal with a country with this kind of landmass and get the right information and people mobilized. And so that's where our chapters come in. But one of the things that happened in Saskatchewan, which is a province in the middle of Canada, is that our chapter leader had found out that they were going to put SOGI 123 and implement it last September into the education system. And that's... SOGI is already in BC and Alberta, and it's the ARC Foundation that brought that in, and they want to be in every province across the nation. So we started lobbying the government. We served the notice of liability. We provided them all kinds of copious information showing the harms that this was causing to children and that they had a duty to prevent harm. And that now that they knew this and had all of this information, they were looking at potential legal actions in the future. Well, by August, they had reversed their decision and they banned SOGI and they banned Planned Parenthood because they had had these sex cards that grade nine kids accidentally got into their hands. And so we lobbied them and said no third parties should have access or teach any sexual health within our schools. And so that's been expanding in New Brunswick. And there's the fight going on in Alberta. We're doing work in the background there as well. And there's a battle going on in Saskatchewan because the LGBTQ. They are furious that they lost this one. And so as they do, they try to victimize and get in the courts. And I believe we're going to win. And I believe that we're winning this ideological war. I'm very encouraged by what's going on in Europe, in the UK with the Tavistock, what's going on in the United States. 26 states are completely annihilating the LGBTQ, DEI, globalist agenda. So there's lots of progress being made, but it seems to be a ripple effect. Europe and the UK were very much ahead of us on the problems that we're all facing, mass immigration, LGBTQ, DEI, et cetera. Then the United States, it increased when Obama, was sitting president, and then when Trudeau got in is when he started to fast-track these agendas as well. And it's overwhelming what we're being hit with, with the Liberal government and the NDP aligning with them and the Bloc Quebecois. So we're in quite a crisis in Canada, but people are waking up and we've got hope for the future. Things are really turning around. And that's a massive issue, and I'll leave that to our viewers and listeners to delve deeper. I just want to give a taster because I think that's really essential. But there is another issue that Europe are ahead of the curve, and that's Islamization. And the EU have traditionally been very anti-Israel. The UK have generally been more supportive of Israel in relation to certainly the rest of Europe. But then we have the current situation sparked off on October the 7th from that horrendous attack into Israel. And you touch on this, and I'd like to maybe expand on this issue, the Canadian response to what has happened there over in Israel. What's the Canadian government's general response? I'm assuming I kind of know where to pigeonhole Trudeau, but I'll let you tell me. What's the Canadian government's kind of outlook traditionally been on Israel? Well, under Stephen Harper, Canada was fully in support of Israel. When Trudeau took office, when he was running for office, he was supporting everything and anything that would get him a vote. He's just the most ridiculous man on the face of the earth next to Biden. I think they're competing for that position. And so, yeah, what happened is when that had taken place, I mean, the whole world was shocked and appalled and horrified at the attack and what Islam, well, this is, you know, throughout the Middle East, they've come in, subjugated, overtaken, but through cruelty, every possible country they could. And they're working on the Western nations as well. And it's been no different in Canada. So Trudeau is a traitor. He is hated by the majority of Canadians. He's a wannabe dictator. And he's made his allegiance to China very clear. He's made his allegiance to Islam very clear. He's made his allegiance to Calestani Sikhs very clear. He is just, you know, he's like he's bipolar. He has multiple personalities. And the whole thing is, you know, it's all falling down on him, because you can't continue to support all these different individuals, because they're all vying for position, and all vying for his attention. And this is a war going on in Canada for our very existence. And so Trudeau turned his back on Israel. When everything came out about UNRWA a few months ago, was it in February? You know, the United States pulled out their funding right away, Canada, you know, through pressure said they were going to stop funding, they paused, paused funding. But as it turned out, the next payment was in April. And by then he had already lifted it. So as we saw, the tunnels were beneath, underneath UNRWA, no way that they're not involved in these attacks and this war against Israel. We see what they're teaching the children in the school. And so they should be completely defunded. And we're going to be we're working on that. The purpose I'm saying that is Justin Trudeau, prior to this, has funded terrorism. There's a case by Tom Quiggan against him with all the evidence possible to prove that through funding certain Islamic organizations in Canada, those organizations are funding terrorism. No different with UNRWA. So by funding UNRWA, Trudeau is funding terrorism. And so he's made this. Then he went with voted in favor of the arms embargo, which was a huge turn of events. And that had escalated, I guess, the foundation of where or the legitimacy in the hearts of the Palestinians in Canada. So they feel very much like all this pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist events that are going on in our streets are very similar to, of course, what's going on in Europe and the UK. Hey, we have Naveed Awan. And I mean, he's out there preaching the hate. He hasn't been arrested or locked up. And I think that his time is coming. We've managed to get some of his social media shut down and de-platforming him. And so it is happening. And so yeah, Trudeau, as far as I'm concerned, he's turned his back on Israel. And as a result, I'm working with a gentleman by the name of Majed El Sheffi from One Free World International, and we started a task force for Israel to change the direction of the support to say, because biblically speaking as a Christian, God says that we're to pray for the peace of Israel, of Jerusalem, and we're to support Israel. That doesn't mean I support Netanyahu. Just like if we had gone at war and America attacked Canada, I would expect the world to be supporting Canadians to say, we support Canada and their right to exist. They don't support a traitor like Justin Trudeau. And so I don't have much, many words about Netanyahu. We don't know the whole story. But at that point, I 100% believe that Israel has the right to exist. And Israel goes beyond the borders as to what was designated to them. Israel encompassed so much more land historically than where they are now. So we're very much about proclaiming the truth, countering Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party's position and the NDP. And yeah, so I don't know where you want to go from there as far as Israel is concerned. And as well, I will go a step further that Trudeau is very much, he's going to fail in the next election. Other than the possibility that they, of course, cheat and do something with the polls. I don't know with this much attention on them how they could do that, but who knows? That's how dictators stay in office, but we've got quite a war. We know that. And so he wants the Muslim vote. He wants the Khalistani Sikh vote. So he is flooding Canada with all of these immigrants, and nobody is expected to integrate and assimilate. And it's it's getting very concerning and so now what he's done is he has promised to bring five to six thousand Palestinians in from Gaza into Canada well back in just.. Let me come down, I just want to, the political side and then I definitely want to get on that because I saw you put up information about that and it's intriguing but what's the, because I know we've had, ages ago, we had Maxime Bernier on, interviewed him, and they have not had the electoral breakthrough we were hoping, maybe the last election. Of course, election cycles come and go, so there's always the future one. But then the Conservatives have changed their leader. What is the kind of pushback on Trudeau? Are the Conservatives actually, have they decided to be Conservative? Conservative, Maxime Bernier's party, is that going to rise up? Because obviously the NDP have fallen completely in bed with Trudeau. So where is the kind of pushback, the opposition to Trudeau? We've got a lot of afraid Canadians who are going to vote for the Conservative Party because they so badly want to vote Trudeau out. And we know what that means when you're voting for a party to get somebody out. It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to be in a greater position. Once the Conservative Party gets in, there are good sitting Conservatives, but they've also been infiltrated by globalists, by people from what they refer to as the left, with, you know, an anti Canadian or anti-Christian viewpoint. And so there are concerns and I'm, actually Maxime's going to be on my show at the end of the month. I was just speaking to him the other day. He's a dear friend. And, I have engaged with Maxime since 2018 is when I first met him personally, met with him in March of 2019, because I wanted to try to help affect the policies of the organization andbe a voice in his ear. So, because I had been working already for four or five years at that point. And I was, it was very clear to me where the Conservative Party had headed, that no matter how many letters we wrote to the Conservative Party, they weren't going to change their view, they weren't going to do the right thing. I mean, they had a majority that, you know, the country was headed in the right direction, but they decided to sign on to some of the, Stephen Harper, he was not actually a friend of Canada's, He was signing on to the Sustainable Development Goals. He had opportunities to appoint judges and senators, and he didn't do that because he was going to appoint some that were LGBTQ friendly, it's reported, and he thought he would lose the election. Well, he ends up losing the election and Justin Trudeau comes in and floods our Senate and the judiciary with activists. And so even our judicial system here in Canada, as you can imagine, it's hard to get things done. But we have a legal action moving forward with Rocco Galati and we're persisting in that. So anyways, with Maxime Bernier, in supporting Maxime, what we've done is we've changed the trajectory, we've changed the political conversation. Because now Pierre Poilievre, who's the head of the Conservative Party, has had no choice because of the rising grassroots movement in Canada, but to start speaking about the issues that are of concern to us. Previously, it was the squeaky wheel that gets the attention that was less than 1% of the LGBTQ, less than 1% of the Muslims, but they were working around the clock and very effective. And so it is vital that people get involved. So the political situation is concerning. Pierre Poilievre has come out and he is finally talking about the LGBTQ issue and the concerns with our children. But as an example of where Pierre Poilievre is at, the other day, an MP from Alberta was in a little interview and he was asked, he's pro-life, he's a strong Christian. And he made it firm that he believes that there should be a law against abortion. And then he was asked if there was a vote regarding same-sex marriage, would you vote against it? And he says, I am, as a Christian, he says, I believe in the traditional family unit. it. Well, not only did the Liberal government, the Liberal Party and the media attack him, but so did Pierre Poilievre. He's such a wimp. I mean, the leaders of the Conservative Party have been so spineless to support what are the traditional values on the Conservative Party's own website. And I've even written to them when Andrew Scheer, I said, you owe, when Andrew Scheer was head of the party, I said, you owe all your members a refund when they voted in same-sex marriage. It says clearly on your website that you support traditional values. This is not a traditional value. And so it is a little concerning still here. But Maxime, he's got so much support. But our problem is that people are afraid to vote for him because they say it'll divide the vote. But it won't. If we get that, I've been having him on and advising. Canadians don't know what the populist movement is. They don't understand nationalism. And so we're educating them on that. And so these big wins in Europe right now are absolutely amazing. Because I feel it is a look at Canada's future because we're a few years behind you on everything. I feel like we're going to get there. So we're going to continue to support Maxime Bernier and push him into a win. I'm even hoping that some of the conservative MPs will do the right thing and cross the aisle. Step over into the People's Party and help get them ignited so that we can truly take back Canada. Yeah, I remember having conversations with friends in the media years ago about People's Party of Canada and discussing Maxime Bernier or back when you had barely heard of him. And it was thanks to Valerie Price that she connected me with Maxime as she connected me with you. So thanks to Val for those connections. But that's the political side. But we touched on the Islamization, and I was at a demo today Well, I didn't mean to be at a demo today. I went to film with Naomi Wolf today outside court. There was a pro-Hamas demonstration, very vocal. And they were against the LSE, London School of Economics, have got students protesting on this issue. And they want to move them on because they want to get back to education, which is what they're about. And of course, the students have gone to court to fight LSE. And we've seen weekly demonstrations through London. And that's why, as Melanie Phillips calls it, it's Londonistan. But what is it like? Are there demonstrations there? How is it affecting kind of universities and education establishments? Because what I saw today was frightening. Students brainwashed because they couldn't even have a rational conversation. It was just they would shout louder at you and wave their fists in your face. And there's no understanding, no meeting of minds, no conversation. But what is it like in terms of demonstrations, in terms of kind of students being captured by this pro-Hamas ideology? Right. So it's very similar to what you're facing, America is facing. And I believe these were all sleeper cells that the Muslims had infiltrated Canada, the UK, America, all Western nations for this purpose. And so I believe that October 7th was just not an attack against Israel it was a planned attack as we're seeing unfold real time in front of us and so that these cells were ignited that they were ready to go and that they are being well funded and there are ties that go back of course to George Soros and other philanthropists that hate the world hate life I don't know why with all their desire to lower the world's population, they don't do us all a favor and do themselves. And it's like, put yourself in one of those little euthanasia death pods and let's get her done, right? Let's make the world a better place. But anyways, yeah, so this is what we're seeing in Canada. This is one of the reasons to go back to education as well. We also have, when we're yelling 911, you know, get your kids out of the education system, home-school them. We have a whole home-schooling page that helps them. We vetted home-school associations across Canada. And we're even advising parents, don't pay to send your kids to university. You'll never recognize them when they're out. And you already probably need to do a little deprogramming from, you know, how they captured them through their time in public education. And so this is what we are witnessing here in Canada as well, the protests. And there's, I refer to this fella Naveed, he's a real agitator and a troublemaker here as far as the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist community. And he had met with a tech college in Ontario. And he ends up posting and celebrating over the fact that they were in the office demanding their financials. This is all part of the diverse. What do they call it? Boycott BDS boycott. Yeah. Divestment. And so they want to see the financials to see if they're doing any business with any Jewish people in the community, business community or with Israel. And I'm like, how dare you? and and so the there will be teams that will be having conversations to counter that and to go in and say why is it you felt a need to have a conversation with these people and sit down with terrorists you we don't negotiate with terrorists you tell them to get out the door get out the door and then you contact the police and so now we understand what it is that they're doing we're going to be going to these institutions letting them know what their rights are and what they should be doing if terrorists walk in their door, and try to negotiate with them. And I mean, Israel is, it doesn't matter where Trudeau stands on this, Israel is our ally. They're the only democracy in the Middle East. And so we will stand with them, we will support them, and we are working to do whatever we can to counter them and apply a lot of pressure to our police. And to Premier Doug Ford. He came out and he's a lot of talk. And there's been, of course, a church that just recently burnt down. There has been gunshots at Jewish schools. And so he finally came out and said, you know, this is disgusting. We won't tolerate this. And it's like, what are you going to do, Doug Ford? And, you know, you're a useless talking puppet. Let's see you do some action. And so recently there was last weekend an Israeli march. It takes a march for Israel. It takes place every year. It's annual. And Naveed and his mob, his little mob of terrorists, had decided to try to infiltrate. And the police were very much aware of it. They came out in the masses and they shut it down. And just the fact that we're in this position and living like this in Canada is shocking. And so, yeah, we're at war. And I'm calling for, I have a petition for a moratorium on immigration. We want to shut down all immigration from Islamic nations. And I want to see all manifestations of Islam shut down in Canada. Every mosque, which are mostly all our tax dollars, are paying to have them monitored 24-7 because they're terrorist cells. And you know the hate that is rising in Canada that's completely associated specifically with the Muslim population and I know that's not politically correct to use the term Muslim people want to use Islamist or Islamist extremists or Muslim extremists but it's it's all the core is Islam this is not a religion of peace, it's a dangerous political system and I'm not sure if you're aware of the, what do they call that the explanatory memorandum that was in the United States, it was found in a second basement in the Muslim in somebody that was high up in the Muslim brotherhood and it was used in one of the largest cases on terrorism in the United States and is in the Muslim brotherhood so it was basically a document. On how on their plan to infiltrate the west and I'm just going to bring it up here it says in the Muslim brotherhood's own words the process of settlement. Is a civilization jihadist process with all the word means the Ikhwan Muslim brotherhood must understand that their work in America or Canada UK etc is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of believers so that it is eliminated and God's, Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions and this is exactly verbatim what they're doing the government, has I did a huge report on all of this our intelligence has reviewed it they told me it's accurate and if it's accurate we've had our intelligence come out, I don't know if you've heard about all of it right now it's a huge topic in Canada about foreign interference in our government and so we have many elected officials at all levels of government with dual citizenship, they need to be ousted. They need to be removed. Many of them are Muslim and Calistani Sikhs. How stupid are we? And because we're so nice, Canadians that we feel nobody should be discriminated against and everybody should be able to, you know, worship their own God. It's like that doesn't work. Multiculturalism is a complete failure when the host values countries aren't being embraced. And then you tell me where in the 56 Islamic majority countries where I, as a white Christian woman, could sit in office. Tell me how that would work in China, Pakistan, North Korea. In any non-Western, non-Christian nation, tell me where I would be accepted to run for office. So why are we in our Western nations, why are we allowing other citizens from other faiths to run for office? It needs to be stopped all around the, I want to say in every Western nation, UK, because they have infiltrated and they are advancing incrementally their own agenda and trying to shut us down from protecting our sovereignty as a nation. And I'm very upset about that. And I'm not going to be silent. I'm not worried about political correctness. We have a right to protect our borders and to protect our country. And we are a Christian nation. And you come here and you respect that. Or I tell you, we'll pay for a flight and send you back to where you came from. And just on that note, when we're talking, we'll probably lead for a minute to the Palestinians, is that in, I don't know if you saw it, but in Istanbul, Turkey, 1.5 million Muslims came out in support of Palestinians. Wow. It was just this sea, and they all had red flags, or I don't know what they were carrying. It was sort of from this distance. And I'm like, why aren't we shipping all the Palestinians to Istanbul? What is the purpose that Trudeau is so fixated on bringing Palestinians into Canada that pose us a defined, serious threat? No, 100%. I want to get on. I just want to reiterate your point that whenever someone talks about Islamists or Islamism, I immediately think, okay, I understand where this conversation is going. You have no idea of your history of Islam. There is no political Islam that's separate from Islam. Islam is political. It's economic. It's cultural. It's every part of it. And at the end, it sticks religion onto it to package it also. 100% with you on that, Tanya. We've had Robert Spencer on numerous times, maybe four or five times, discussing this, along with many other experts in the field of understanding Islam. But it does fit in. You made the comment there, and you mentioned at the beginning about the Palestinian refugees. And of course, if you want Palestine, you can go to Jordan, really. They can go there. It's a big country, and not many people there stick them there. But it seems as though the Islamic world want the Palestinian issue because they can use it to hit Israel. But yeah, Trudeau, why is Canada wanting to bring people from the Middle East all the way over to Canada? It seems mad. Because his party is dying and he wants the Muslim vote. But I still don't understand the logic there because you can't come into Canada being a non-citizen and vote. And so we've got about a year and four months before our next federal election. And so I imagine he's going to do what Biden is trying to do. They've got a mass invasion going on in the United States and Biden is trying to give them voting privileges and you just can't do that. We're not going to, we can't sit back and allow this to happen. So I'm not sure what's going on with Trudeau. I think it's even bigger than that because back in February we had a huge win. I think he was talking about it after, not long after, it was almost the day after October 7th is when all of a sudden the world and the media propaganda started coming out against Israel. And started making it out, like, because they were reacting, you know, that, whoa, whoa, you know, like, what are you doing? Like, there's innocent Palestinians there. And it's like, can we reflect on World War II for a minute? And where in America and Canada and everybody, the Brits came in and bombed Germany to stop Hitler. What about the innocent civilians then that got killed? It's a very unfortunate part of war. But in this war, I mean, it's even more complicated because the the majority of the Palestinians are involved with Hamas. They fully support them. They were hiding the hostages. I mean, they've got tunnels leading into their homes and weapons. And so to have all of this sympathy for them is absolutely propaganda. And I did a show last night that is in support of, it was very much in support of Israel and trying to continue to constantly bring truth. But Trudeau has done something very shifty. So he started talking in, I think, about December about bringing Palestinians in because to unite them with their families in Canada. And I thought, OK, well, that can't happen because look what the Palestinians are doing in our streets. They pose a significant threat to us as citizens. So that doesn't make sense. And so then I started going to work in the background with Majed. We started meeting with high-ranking officials in Israel to say, if you start shipping Palestinians into the West, who are you going to have left as allies? Look at the mess that Europe and the UK are in because they didn't shut their doors. And I know that, thank God, that Macron is going to be removed and Merkel is still a danger, but she's out and things are really, really changing. But you guys have quite a mess to clean up in deporting those people that illegally invaded your country. Well, we're being invaded in a much more nefarious way. Trudeau is giving them the red carpet. There are plane loads of people coming in. And, you know, it's very under the radar. So the average Canadian doesn't see what's going on. But now, all of a sudden, you're looking around and all these women are wearing hijabs. And I was in, and I don't want to say it by the color of our skin, because my God doesn't care about the color of your skin. He cares about the condition of the heart. But this was a European nation, white, white Christians. And there's nothing wrong with that. If so, then let's start complaining about the fact that, you know, Islam is filled with brown people. Like, how can you berate European nations for having white people? So it's part of a plan. And it's part of to destroy the democracies that we have. But it's all based on Christianity. That's why we were successful. And so we're seeing it really unfold here in Canada. It is a white replacement. I'm just going to come out and say it. That is the strategy. And so we ended up, they agreed. And so they said plus it's very hard to truly vet these individuals and uh you know allow them to leave that's something people can't wrap their heads around is that Palestine is not a state it is a district within Israel so they are under the Israeli government officials direction and so anyways we got that shut down headlines literally said by Mark Miller our immigration minister, that he was pissed off for the fact that things weren't moving along. Same title for Justin Trudeau. We never made it public back then. We've only just made this public that this is the work that Action 4 Canada, along with One Free World International, has been working on. So Trudeau was so fixated that there was a news headline last week that said, first Gazans come to Canada. So Majed is in Israel right now. I'm going, okay, what's happened? What's going on here? He's lying. How is this happening? Well, it ends up even in the article that this family, and of course it's a picture perfect family coming out with their small children and an infant. The poster family from Palestine, not what's potentially coming out of there. And the headline said Gazan's come, but within the article, it said that they had paid to be smuggled into Egypt. So why is Trudeau, who is he dealing with now and negotiating with? It's not the Israeli government. Is he negotiating with the Egyptian government? Who is he negotiating with and why is he doing this? And that was part of the special investigative report I did last week and last night as well, which will be available today on our Rumble page. But something very concerning is going on. And with this huge announcement in these last weeks, I mean, it was already in 2019, the head of our intelligence committee that provides a very in-depth report saying that Canada is under severe threat of foreign interference to the point that our very sovereignty and our chart of rights is under threat. And that's David McGinty that provided that report and his team. Well, he just came out with a new report. And of course, you can compound that over five years as to how much more grave and serious the matter has become. And so the foreign interference has now said that we've got sitting MPs that have been confirmed, have been dealing with foreign interference, and they're refusing to provide those names. And they might not do it until after the next election. Well, that's wrong. And that there are countries that they're dealing with other than they name China and Russia and other countries and they won't name the other countries. Well, who are you... Importing, potentially from those nations, that we should have absolutely zero immigration from, because that could pose a further risk. So yeah, we have terrorists walking our streets, our doors are open. And that's why I started this by saying, Trudeau is 100% guilty of treason. And he needs to be charged and put away forever, put away forever, along with Chrystia Freeland and Mark Miller and his team. Are there actually any Canadians left in Toronto? I don't know. It's been a while since I was there. It's been actually, yeah, it's been a while since I was there. It's terrible. Yeah, it's really scary. I mean, people don't feel safe going out and it's the whole GTA, Greater Toronto area, but it's not there. I mean, I live in Surrey and it's become pretty much the second capital of Calistani Sikhs from around the world. They don't have a real home and so Canada is this easy open door for immigration. So they've decided to set up camp here. We have the second largest Vaisakhi parade in the world here in Surrey. The Islamists are now being, Muslims are now being flooded into Surrey as well. There's reports that because, you know, they get money, some of them up to $84,000 a year with all of the benefits the government is giving them. Our elderly can't make ends meet. We've got disabled and they're offering them all euthanasia so they don't have to pay their pensions I mean I did a special last night with Angelina Ireland on euthanasia in Canada and how it's expanding and it's incrediblyserious the vaccine injured, a woman is paralyzed from the neck down four times she has been offered to be euthanized, it was directly related to this mRNA gene therapy and then we've got veterans calling the veteran helpline who are being offered to be euthanized and so we're being replaced with in immigration we're being flooded with extremists andthe Trudeau is trying to take awaylaw-abiding gun owners to take away their guns and so we're like we're not giving them up and if anything we need to expand them because I was going to mention that I think it was last year on a bus that goes it's kind of a major route that's a couple of blocks away. And a guy yelled Allah Akbar and slit at a guy's throat on the bus. So normally we would hear about that happening in London and, you know, in England. And here we are in Canada. And as well, they're trying to cover that up as far as the news reports and the police are concerned, because the government doesn't want Canadians to see that this flood of immigrants is not a good idea because the minority of the population are responsible for a majority of the crime. And we're talking serious crime. Can I... The term Islamization, can I... How it fits in there? Because... Canada is large, but it's also you've got a French part and you've got an English part. And most countries don't have that sort of separation. Maybe in Belgium you have it with Flemish and the German speaking. But actually you don't normally see that. And the French have traditionally been very proud of their culture. Is there pushback to mass immigration, Islamization in the French part? Or has it been across the board that Canada has capitulated? Well, it's interesting you say that because we only have one province that's official French, and that's Quebec. And the Bloc Quebecois had passed a bill, I can't remember when they did a couple of years ago, against any kind of religious symbols. And so women weren't allowed to wear the hijab. But that also meant that Quebec was strongly Catholic. And so as a Catholic province, all of a sudden, you know, they're saying that crosses also need to be taken down. And I think that they need to very clearly define as a Christian nation we're going to wear all the crosses we want and our education is only going to involve any kind of religious education will be Christian from the Bible and Macron in Quebec I just talked about euthanasia he's very much a globalist and it's very concerning and they have one of the highest euthanasia rates within their province as well. And so there is pushback against the Muslims in Quebec, but not to the degree that's needed. And so it's questionable, the premier in that province and what they're doing. But I would say the majority of the problem is nationwide. And it's not like one province is shutting down. Now, what I will tell you is that I was just listening to John Rustad, and we're going to have a provincial election in British Columbia in October. And the NDP and the Liberals are just, even provincially, they're lost. Like, they've lost their minds. They're filled with these ideologies and globalists. It's like mental illness has taken over within our government positions. And David Eby, John Horgan stepped aside. I think it was getting too hot for him. He's named in our legal action against the BC and federal governments regarding the COVID measures. And anyways, so David Eby was our Attorney General and he stepped into the position as Premier. And, and, any, so the election is coming up and they're losing. So John Rustad is head of a new BC Conservative Party, not tied to the federal Conservatives. And he's in line with removing SOGI 123. But today, he even said, we're going to address immigration. Immigration and I was just sitting there going, doing you know like this little dance it's like wow did I just hear John Rustad say that meanwhile a province over you have Daniel Smith who took over for a globalist Jason Kenney and I think they're doing this good cop bad cop they're removing an elected official taking out the bad cop putting it in with the good cops so that people don't really realize what's going on Daniel Smith is moving forward on parental policies and some good policies, but to get elected, she ended up implementing approving halal banking to get the Muslim vote because the Muslims were lobbying her. And so, I mean, that's approving Sharia law. And so we're going to be working to overturn that. I mean, we need to clean up our whole government. We need to remove all the Muslims. We need to remove the Sikhs. If you're not fully pro-Canada and that's where your interests are, then I'm sorry, you're in the wrong country. We'll pay that one-way ticket for you to sell your things and leave. I'd be happy to do that. But yeah, that's the kind of mess we're dealing with. But that populist movement, the nationalist movement is really picking up in Canada. And there is very good indication that John Rusted is going to win the election in British Columbia. And that will be massive. I've met with John as well and had dinner with him and discussed some of these things. and there's other good people who are speaking in his ear as well. And so once that takes place, it's going to start to have this, again, a stronger ripple effect for other provinces that will also be having elections in the near future. Yeah, well, all the things you mentioned, we've got here. It was David Cameron, Conservatives in 2010 brought in same-sex marriage and made London the premier centre for Islamic finance of the West. And that's where we are now. My last thought, you talked about some leaders pushing back because they have an understanding of what it means for the nation state and what it means to be Canada. Is any of that coming from a Christian viewpoint? because I know certainly in the UK we've very few politicians now have any claim to being a Christian and that's certainly a no-no very different from the us where it's still it's still a thing really for many politicians to talk about going to church and and their faith in the UK we don't in Canada is any of the pushback coming from a belief in God, Christian faith or is it just coming from a concern at what's happening, crushing out Canadian culture? Well, it's moving in that direction. John Rusted, when I spoke with him, he professes to be a Christian, but he's keeping that Christianity sort of under a rock. And part of it is because, you know, the voting, we don't want to, you know, not have the Muslims or the calisthenics, you know, vote for him, even though all of his policies are exactly what those groups of people would want. And but the press the press is there for them to start speaking more on those issues and there's for instance uh the premier of New Brunswick was the first one last year to come out on the rights of parent policies I was shocked and startled and pleased that uh he was doing this his premier Premier Higgs, when I spoke with him last year, I had an opportunity to meet with him in person. I said, could you tell me when exactly it is that you made this decision? What caused you to say, I need to start making decisions on parental policies and start shutting down the LGBTQ? And he professes as well to be a Christian. And he said to me, it was, oh, yeah, it was around April. Well, what Action 4 Canada was doing is every year, it was our first, it was the first year we did that. We just finished our second annual seven-week prayer walk for revival. Bible. And all of our chapter leaders and teams across Canada are going to legislatures, to school boards, to municipalities, and we're praying and walking seven times around these buildings, praying for our leaders, praying for our country, and praying for these demonic ideologies to be demolished, all of these strongholds to come down. Well, he had the idea implanted in his heart exactly when we started the prayer walks. So I give the glory to the Lord for much of what is taking place in Canada. I believe that God is being very gracious to us. All of our countries had turned our back on God in the sense that we were not caring enough about who we were putting in office. What is the heart of this individual? I don't want to hear somebody is a Christian by lip service running for office. What is the fruit in their life? Is there evidence of it in their life? Are they honest? Do they have integrity? Are they fighting the right causes? Does it align with biblical principles? And God has said, anytime throughout history, when you turn your back on God, man, your country is going to come under severe opposition and oppression. So unlimited abortion in Canada, we're one of the only developed countries that doesn't have an abortion law. We are voted in same-sex marriage and sexual depravity. Well, that only takes root and it goes, it doesn't have a limit. And so from there, it went after our kids. And then as well, we didn't respect the top two commandments that you shall have no other gods before me and no idols. And so we've got, we have a right to, If we're going to honor God, we just say, yes, Lord, and let him do the rest. And we're making that happen. We will shut down all manifestations of Islam in Canada. We will shut down these false teachings. And so more elected officials, as we're having these private conversations with them, are seeing the validity in that. Maxime Bernier, since I had first met with him in 2018, he would have called himself a libertarian. He's a nationalist, a populist but he's also a Christian now he also gave his life to the Lord and so he is evolving in his understanding of what the spiritual battle is in Canada and he is acting accordingly and you know he's a newer Christian so he may not be out there. Professing it but I'm seeing it in the works I'm seeing it in what he is doing and so to your viewers, I would just really encourage you, whether you're a Christian or not you can see that even as a non-Christian, living in a Christian nation allowed you more freedoms and democracy than you will have in any of those other non-Christian nations that I've mentioned. They may, some of them, not many of them may be a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there because most of it, these people, these good people living in those nations are living under the thumb of oppression. And we had freedoms when we were caring about who was in office. And so we just need to return to that. We need to return to biblical principles and living a pure and honest life. A perfect place to end it. And as you have, He is risen. It's about not hiding your light under a bush, as we are told in Matthew, but letting it shine forth. And we are, whoever you are, whether you're watching as someone just private figure or whether you're a public figure, let your light shine. Tanya, thank you so much for joining us.

In the sixth episode of "Defenses Against Deception," Duane teaches the importance of guarding against deception, as God has provided multiple defenses against it. The New Testament repeated warnings about deceivers and being deceived, showing it is possible even for believers to fall into deception. The first defense God has given is His Word. If believers abide or continue in God's Word, Jesus said they are His disciples who will know the truth that brings freedom (John 8:31-32). By disciplining oneself in Scripture, one's discernment increases to recognize the fingerprints of the enemy versus the Holy Spirit.The story of Eve being deceived by the serpent in Genesis 3 illustrates how deception operates. Satan's tactic was first to question God's Word, get Eve to dismiss it, and then outright contradict it, tempting her to disobey by doubting God's goodness and care. This shows how compromising God's Word opens the door to deception.The Scripture of Jacob deceiving his father Isaac in Genesis 27 is also an example. A telltale sign of deception was the haste and pressure Jacob used—faith never operates under an anxious hurry. Another red flag was Jacob claiming "God blessed me" to justify his deceit, which is "dropping the God card" to wrongly use God to approve one's desired course.Isaac was led astray by his feelings - the hands "felt" like Esau's, though they were goatskins. How often do people let their feelings trump God's clear truth and Word when he tries to guide them as Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life? They fail to realize that only obedience to God's Word, not rejecting it, leads to true wisdom.Discernment comes through knowing God's Word combined with patience and walking by faith, not feelings or hastiness. Professing believers who end up embracing abominations and departing from the faith have been deceived by not applying these safeguards against the deception that God has provided in Scripture.

(Acts 20:27) -- We teach the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book in order "...that the Christian may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."  (2 Timothy 3:16-17)EQUIPPING THE SAINTS - "...equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ..."- (Ephesians 4:12) Our desire is for each individual to be equipped with a personal, working knowledge of the Bible. Thus, we place a great emphasis upon the teaching of God's Word. We equip the church so that they can be successful in serving each other and the community.PREACHING THE GOSPEL - Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." -- (Mark 16:15) Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is at the core of VISION City Church. Each service will have the Gospel clearly presented with the Bible teaching. In addition, VISION for My City events will be taking place regularly throughout the year with the primary focus of evangelistic outreach to the community. During these events Pastor Garid will be clearly delivering the message of the Gospel! For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10:13-14)JESUS BUILDS THE CHURCH - Jesus said, "...I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) We believe that VISION City Church is the Lord's Church, the people are His people, and the work that takes place in His church and with His people is His work. God said, "I work, and who will reverse it?" (Isaiah 43:13)

Questions about whether it's okay to be part of a music ministry that's led by a professing Mormon, whether a woman should date a man who isn't as spiritual mature as she is or doesn't take his faith as seriously, and the misuse of Matthew 5:38–42 to manipulate others. Is it biblical for me to be part of a music ministry with a group of Christian women that is headed up by a professing Mormon? Should a woman date a man who isn't as spiritually mature as she is or doesn't take his faith as seriously as she does? How would you interpret Matthew 5:38–42 in the context of a friend who could be manipulating and taking advantage of you for resources?

Sunday class - an overview of the 2nd epistle to the Thessalonians

*Blame it on the Rain: Bob Enyart was an advocate for research into  earthquake prediction and preparation. He knew the Earth is young, and its crust is unstable, and therefore governments should be in the business of figuring out how to more accurately predict earthquakes by, among other things, examining how the weather works with other factors to trigger seismic events!   *Owner of a Broken Heart: Find out how an octopus trap, and Valentine's Day combine for a medical diagnosis you never want to hear!   *Life & Marriage: Hear about a study confirming that married men live longer!   *The Grand Tour: Dr. James Tour is a synthetic organic chemist, with a Bachelor in chemistry from Syracuse, a Ph.D. in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry from Purdue, and postdoctoral training in synthetic organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and Stanford, almost 800 research publications, over 130 patents (& another 100 pending). Dr. Tour also has a strong presence on YouTube, and an offer for anyone who is not a believer to hear how he became believer in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.   *Cancer & Molecular Jackhammers: Hear Dr. Tour describe his work in cancer research using nano-machines and light! And pair this show with our interview with Dr. Thomas Seyfried on Cancer as a metabolic disease.   *Graphene, Recycling & Catching the Falling Sky: You'll hear about Dr. Tour's exciting work researching less expensive ways to produce graphene, (a substance we've discussed here on RSR), his research into methods for recycling electronic waste, and more efficient ways for hysterical materialists to capture all the carbon dioxide they want!   *Professing the Gospel: If you are unconvinced of the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, Dr. Tour wants to hear from you!
