August 4th.-Temporal things appear dark and distressing. During the past week my mind has been much exercised about my present employment, not knowing whether I am in the path of duty, or whether I ought not to seek a more lucrative one. May the Lord direct me- For myself, I do not desire great things, and shrink exceedingly from the idea of entering more into the world. Quiet and retirement I much prize-but I wish to follow the leadings of Providence. May the present darkness be removed from my mind, and my way made clear. I have at this time nothing at all to do. But the Lord has done wonders for me, and I would not distrust. Spiritual things are at a low ebb with me. I am reading John Owen, on -The Glory of Christ-- he is an author I much value- his writings are very searching. I find I have been too anxious about worldly things for some time past, to the neglect of spiritual duties, and in consequence have to cry, -My leanness- My leanness-- May the Lord restore me- it is He alone who can bring me with weeping and supplication to His footstool. Alas- alas- how little reason have I to hope that I am a Christian indeed. Oh, for a closer walk with God-

August 4th.—Temporal things appear dark and distressing. During the past week my mind has been much exercised about my present employment, not knowing whether I am in the path of duty, or whether I ought not to seek a more lucrative one. May the Lord direct me! For myself, I do not desire great things, and shrink exceedingly from the idea of entering more into the world. Quiet and retirement I much prize—but I wish to follow the leadings of Providence. May the present darkness be removed from my mind, and my way made clear. I have at this time nothing at all to do. But the Lord has done wonders for me, and I would not distrust. Spiritual things are at a low ebb with me. I am reading John Owen, on "The Glory of Christ;" he is an author I much value; his writings are very searching. I find I have been too anxious about worldly things for some time past, to the neglect of spiritual duties, and in consequence have to cry, "My leanness! My leanness!" May the Lord restore me; it is He alone who can bring me with weeping and supplication to His footstool. Alas! alas! how little reason have I to hope that I am a Christian indeed. Oh, for a closer walk with God!

I THOUGHT I had gone too far, but they went and did it . . . they hired an apparent Satanist. THE THESIS: The Democrat Party is mainstreaming Satanism. Incidentally, that is NOT a thesis, that is now a fact. Original Episode LinksTHE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 1 John 5:18-2018 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.Ephesians 6:12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.The Rank and File Of Satan's KingdomIn Ephesians 6:12, the apostle Paul presents a divine revelation he received that describes how Satan's kingdom has been militarily aligned. He writes, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”Notice that at the top of this list, Paul mentions a group of evil spirits he calls “principalities.” This word is taken from the Greek word archai, an old word that is used symbolically to denote ancient times. It is also used to depict individuals who hold the highest and loftiest position of rank and authority. By using the word archai, Paul emphatically tells us that at the very top of Satan's kingdom are powerful evil beings that have held their lofty positions of power and authority since ancient times — probably ever since the fall of Lucifer.Paul goes on to tell us that below principalities is a second group of evil beings he refers to as “powers.” This word “powers” is taken from the Greek word exousia, and it denotes delegated authority. This describes a lower, second-level group of evil beings — demon spirits — who have received delegated authority from Satan to carry out all manner of evil in whatever way they desire to do it. These evil forces are second in command in Satan's dark kingdom.Continuing in his description of Satan's rank and file in descending order, Paul mentions “the rulers of the darkness of this world.” This amazing phrase is taken from the word kosmokrateros and is a compound of the words kosmos and kratos. The word kosmos denotes order or arrangement, whereas the word kratos has to do with raw power. Thus, the compounded word kosmokrateros depicts raw power that has been harnessed and put into some kind of order.This word kosmokrateros was at times used to picture military training camps where young men were assembled, trained, and turned into a mighty army. These young men were like raw power when they first arrived in the training camp. However, as the military training progressed and the new recruits were taught discipline and order, all that raw manpower was converted into an organized, disciplined army. This is the word Paul now uses in his description of Satan's kingdom. What does it mean? Don Stewart :: How Does Satan Keep Unbelievers in Spiritual Darkness?The Figurehead was told to appoint an apparent Satanist as the Monkey Pox coordinator. And, at this point, given his social media profiles and interviews, he will need to come and and PROVE he's not a Satanist.Benny Johnson was first out with the pictures of this guy. They are disturbing beyond belief. If you are not a Satanist why do you do everything Satanists do? Benny Johnson: “Meet Demetre Daskalakis. Demetre was just appointed by Joe Biden to be the official White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator. Demetre proudly wears the official symbol of the Church of Satan: The Pentagram. Joe Biden appointed a Satanist to the White House.”Some more pictures of this guyOf course, playing to the Illusion of Respectability, he put on the coat and tie to lie to people about Monkey Pox[AUDIO] - Suddenly wearing a jacket and tie, Demetre explains this about Monkey PoxThe people who run Joe Biden, and The Party as a whole, are obsessed with promoting all things that go against the Word of God. Adultery, theft, muder, coveting are all sins, but CNN is obsessed with promoting the sin of being active in same sex intercourse. [AUDIO] - Watch Christiane Amanpour insistently push the gay agenda on the newly-elected president of Kenya. She seems very disappointed when he doesn't seem to be on board. Where is her respect for the traditions of African society?The rot comes from the top. This so-called pediatrician is teaching kids how to make their own sex lube . . . (more on her in a bit).[AUDIO] - A so-called pediatrician teaches kids how to make their own sex lube for anal sexThe evil spirits that push adults to use the bodies of kids for their sexual desires have not gone away. In fact, they are celebrated as legitimate academics! WARNING: very disturbing content. Dr. John Money, Father Of Gender Theory, Was A Pedophilia Apologist[AUDIO] - To get an idea of what Queer Theory prescribes, watch this short clip by author Derrick Jensen. Notice how at the end he points out how not a single queer theorist has gone on record against pedophilia.The rot starts at the top. The goddesses permeates The Party all the way to the bottom[AUDIO] - Arizona State Superintendent @kathyhoffman_az is now being sued after it was discovered the Dept of Education website directed kids to hyper-sexualized secret chat rooms.Sex Education Book Instructs Parents To Let Their Young Children Watch Them Have SexBack to the so-called pediatrician: [AUDIO] - Pediatrician--the same one grooming kids with how to make their own lube fo anals sex--promotes puberty blockers to kids on tiktok claiming they just “pause” puberty so you have more time to “explore your gender identity”You must understand that their fake god is neither male nor female -- this is terrible to consider and vital to know We were told this would happen, the Bible describes these times. [AUDIO] - To put it in pop culture terms, the movie “Taken” is helpful . . . Liam Neeson knew the trafficked would take his daughter, he told her so and told her what to do. He never stopped looking for her and he destroyed the men who abducted her. The Lord, Jesus will not stop pursuing us until the Final Battle. He has given instructions on what to do to avoid being taken and what do do if our loved ones are taken. People are prayerfully fighting back.

Jon Bloom | “The shadow proves the sunshine.” Those lyrics are a profound window into reality, and might help lead someone out of the shadows of spiritual darkness.

As we delve deeper into the month of October, I've been exploring ways to connect our podcast topics with the themes of this spooky season. Today, I want to share a personal experience that inspired our latest episode and offer some insights into the powerful lessons we can learn from fear and darkness.Recently, I attended a church sermon that focused on the themes of Darkness and Fear. What struck me was when the pastor asked us to keep our eyes closed throughout the entire sermon. It was a simple yet profound exercise. By eliminating the visual stimuli, it brought a new level of focus to the words spoken. It left me feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented when I finally opened my eyes, realizing how little time we actually spend with our eyes closed, awake and sitting up. It got me thinking about the importance of sensory experiences and how they influence our perception of the world.They say that blind people often have sharper hearing and vice versa, as they must rely more on the senses they have. This made me ponder the lessons that fear and darkness can teach us. As Theodore Roethke wisely said, "In a dark time, the eye begins to see." Fear and darkness can be powerful teachers if we allow ourselves to learn from them.In our latest podcast episode, we explore the following lessons:1. Survival and Evolution: Fear is an innate human emotion that has evolved to help us survive. It triggers the "fight or flight" response, alerting us to potential dangers. In this way, fear has played a crucial role in the survival of our species.2. Personal Growth: Overcoming fear and facing darkness can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. Confronting our fears and challenges can help us develop resilience, courage, and a greater understanding of ourselves.3. Embracing Vulnerability: Darkness, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional, often requires us to embrace vulnerability. It forces us to confront our insecurities, uncertainties, and doubts. This vulnerability can lead to profound self-awareness and personal transformation.4. Creativity and Imagination: Darkness can spark creativity and imagination. When our visual senses are deprived in physical darkness, our other senses become heightened, and our minds can wander. This creative potential is essential for art, problem-solving, and innovation.5. Balance and Contrast: Light is best appreciated in contrast to darkness. Similarly, happiness and joy are more meaningful when contrasted with sadness and fear. Darkness and fear provide balance to our lives and help us appreciate the positive aspects.6. Spiritual Growth: In spiritual darkness, moments of doubt, crisis, or questioning can lead to profound spiritual growth and transformation. It often forces individuals to reevaluate their beliefs and values, ultimately deepening their understanding of themselves and their spirituality.In summary, fear and darkness are essential aspects of the human experience that can teach us valuable lessons about ourselves, our world, and our capacity for growth and resilience. Embracing these aspects, rather than avoiding them, can lead to a deeper understanding of life's complexities and the beauty hidden within them.Wishing you a month filled with self-discovery and courage.

THE THESIS: The Democrat Party is mainstreaming Satanism. Incidentally, that is NOT a thesis, that is now a fact.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  1 John 5:18-20 18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The Rank and File Of Satan's Kingdom In Ephesians 6:12, the apostle Paul presents a divine revelation he received that describes how Satan's kingdom has been militarily aligned. He writes, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Notice that at the top of this list, Paul mentions a group of evil spirits he calls “principalities.” This word is taken from the Greek word archai, an old word that is used symbolically to denote ancient times. It is also used to depict individuals who hold the highest and loftiest position of rank and authority. By using the word archai, Paul emphatically tells us that at the very top of Satan's kingdom are powerful evil beings that have held their lofty positions of power and authority since ancient times — probably ever since the fall of Lucifer. Paul goes on to tell us that below principalities is a second group of evil beings he refers to as “powers.” This word “powers” is taken from the Greek word exousia, and it denotes delegated authority. This describes a lower, second-level group of evil beings — demon spirits — who have received delegated authority from Satan to carry out all manner of evil in whatever way they desire to do it. These evil forces are second in command in Satan's dark kingdom. Continuing in his description of Satan's rank and file in descending order, Paul mentions “the rulers of the darkness of this world.” This amazing phrase is taken from the word kosmokrateros and is a compound of the words kosmos and kratos. The word kosmos denotes order or arrangement, whereas the word kratos has to do with raw power. Thus, the compounded word kosmokrateros depicts raw power that has been harnessed and put into some kind of order. This word kosmokrateros was at times used to picture military training camps where young men were assembled, trained, and turned into a mighty army. These young men were like raw power when they first arrived in the training camp. However, as the military training progressed and the new recruits were taught discipline and order, all that raw manpower was converted into an organized, disciplined army. This is the word Paul now uses in his description of Satan's kingdom. What does it mean?  Don Stewart :: How Does Satan Keep Unbelievers in Spiritual Darkness? BLOCK 1 The Figurehead was told to appoint an apparent Satanist as the Monkey Pox coordinator. And, at this point, given his social media profiles and interviews, he will need to come and and PROVE he's not a Satanist. Benny Johnson was first out with the pictures of this guy. They are disturbing beyond belief. If you are not a Satanist why do you do everything Satanists do?  Benny Johnson: “Meet Demetre Daskalakis. Demetre was just appointed by Joe Biden to be the official White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator. Demetre proudly wears the official symbol of the Church of Satan: The Pentagram. Joe Biden appointed a Satanist to the White House.” Some more pictures of this guy Of course, playing to the Illusion of Respectability, he put on the coat and tie to lie to people about Monkey Pox [AUDIO] - Suddenly wearing a jacket and tie, Demetre explains this about Monkey Pox The people who run Joe Biden, and The Party as a whole, are obsessed with promoting all things that go against the Word of God. Adultery, theft, muder, coveting are all sins, but CNN is obsessed with promoting the sin of being active in same sex intercourse.  [AUDIO] -  Watch Christiane Amanpour insistently push the gay agenda on the newly-elected president of Kenya. She seems very disappointed when he doesn't seem to be on board. Where is her respect for the traditions of African society? The rot comes from the top. This so-called pediatrician is teaching kids how to make their own sex lube . . . (more on her in a bit). [AUDIO] - A so-called pediatrician teaches kids how to make their own sex lube for anal sex The evil spirits that push adults to use the bodies of kids for their sexual desires have not gone away. In fact, they are celebrated as legitimate academics!  WARNING: very disturbing content. Dr. John Money, Father Of Gender Theory, Was A Pedophilia Apologist [AUDIO] - To get an idea of what Queer Theory prescribes, watch this short clip by author Derrick Jensen. Notice how at the end he points out how not a single queer theorist has gone on record against pedophilia. The rot starts at the top. The goddesses permeates The Party all the way to the bottom [AUDIO] -  Arizona State Superintendent @kathyhoffman_az is now being sued after it was discovered the Dept of Education website directed kids to hyper-sexualized secret chat rooms. Sex Education Book Instructs Parents To Let Their Young Children Watch Them Have Sex Back to the so-called pediatrician:  [AUDIO] - Pediatrician--the same one grooming kids with how to make their own lube fo anals sex--promotes puberty blockers to kids on tiktok claiming they just “pause” puberty so you have more time to “explore your gender identity” You must understand that their fake god is neither male nor female -- this is terrible to consider and vital to know  We were told this would happen, the Bible describes these times.  [AUDIO] - To put it in pop culture terms, the movie “Taken” is helpful . . . Liam Neeson knew the trafficked would take his daughter, he told her so and told her what to do. He never stopped looking for her and he destroyed the men who abducted her. The Lord, Jesus will not stop pursuing us until the Final Battle. He has given instructions on what to do to avoid being taken and what do do if our loved ones are taken.  People are prayerfully fighting back. This is the second time a godless event like this was canceled in Idaho after people prayed and put public pressure on businesses sponsoring this so they can virtue signal Boise Pride Fest cancels children's drag show Zions Bank canceled their sponsorship -- but, WHY is an LDS-owned back sponsoring a festival based upon human pride and defiance of the Word of God? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
