Circadian scientist Dr. Martin Moore-Ede reveals why the LED bulbs in nearly every home may be driving a rise in breast and prostate cancer, why he calls the light we now live under the tobacco of our time, and why the modern fear of the sun may be shortening our lives instead of protecting them!Dr. Moore-Ede discovered the master circadian clock in the human brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and ran a sleep and circadian research lab at Harvard Medical School for two decades. He has spent 50 years studying how light governs human health, and now argues that the shift to blue-rich LED lighting has created an environment our bodies were never built for.He explains:◼️ Why breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer track almost exactly with how much electric light a society uses◼️ Why melatonin is not the sleep hormone you think it is, and what it really does at 2am◼️ How LEDs strip out the red and infrared your mitochondria need for energy◼️ Why the sun exposure data flips skin cancer advice on its head◼️ Why your children are going short-sighted, and the wavelength that prevents it◼️ Why the $200 blue-light glasses most people buy block the wrong blueAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/mmooreedeX: https://x.com/aasthajs Instagram: https://instagram.com/aasthajs My health stack: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 LED Light Is the Tobacco of Our Time01:33 The Connection Between Cancer and LED Lighting04:05 Why Hormone-Driven Cancers Are Hit the Hardest07:49 Is There a Link to Glioblastoma?08:14 Why Melatonin Is Not the Sleep Hormone11:40 There Is No Blue Light in Nature After Sunset15:58 We Live in Junk Light, Just Like Junk Food17:21 What Wavelengths Are LEDs Actually Missing?20:44 The Infrared We Lost When We Banned Incandescents22:52 The Two Ways LEDs Are Harming You30:05 Health Stacked30:56 White vs Yellow Light: Why It's the Wrong Question33:59 Lux, Lumens, and a 100-Year-Old Mistake38:27 What LED Light Does to Your Heart and Immune System40:44 Why Regularity Matters as Much as the Light Itself43:07 The Camping Study That Reset Everyone's Body Clock49:56 Sunlight vs Skin Cancer: We Have It Backwards53:03 The 450 vs 480 Spike Almost No One Gets Right59:52 Why Life Evolved to Run on Blue Light01:03:13 Melanopsin: Your Body's Blue Detector01:08:28 Do Melatonin Supplements Actually Do Anything?01:12:19 Why the Wrong Side of a Time Zone Can Kill You01:15:37 Is There Something Special About Dawn?01:17:12 Light and the Early Onset of Puberty01:20:53 The Aggressive Kid Who Changed When the Lights Did01:21:51 Should You Replace Your Windows?01:24:00 Do not wear sunglasses in the morning!01:26:44 What About Daytime Lighting?01:27:41 Do Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses Work at Night?01:31:20 Take Your Lighting Into Your Own HandsPRODUCTS I USE FOR BETTER CIRCADIAN RHYTHM:◼️VivaRays 4 in 1 Blue Blockers: https://vivarays.com/livelongerworld or code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% off◼️Healthy Home Shop Circadian Bulbs: https://thehealthyhome.shop/livelongerworld for 10% off◼️Daylight Computer No-blue screen: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/livelongerworld for $25 off◼️Chroma Circadian-Aligned Desk Lamp: https://getchroma.co/photonsfromaastha and code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% offFull list of health products I use: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsDr. Martin Moore-Ede:Website: https://thelightdoctor.com/Book: THE LIGHT DOCTOR: Using Light to Boost Health, Improve Sleep, and Live Longer: https://amzn.to/4yrwWWuHEALTH STACKED, the trusted longevity marketplace: https://www.healthstacked.com/RELATED POSTS:Avoiding the sun kills more people than skin cancer: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/sunsmokingYour Lights are Wrecking your Sleep (Here's What I Use): https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redlightsYour Screens Are Keeping You Awake: 60 second fix: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redphone

Read OnlineResponding to SufferingWhile Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Matthew 9:18–21Call to mind one of the most painful and difficult moments in your life. Perhaps you endured a serious illness or the illness of a loved one. Perhaps you suffered a deep humiliation or walked with someone close to you through his or her humiliation. Maybe you lost a job, faced mounting bills, and felt helpless. Suffering comes in many forms, and God only permits such trials because, in His wisdom, He perceives a greater good that can come through our patient endurance—if we place all our hope and trust in Him.In today's Gospel, we meet two unrelated individuals, each burdened with intense suffering. First, a father kneels before Jesus and sorrowfully announces that his daughter has just died. In a remarkable act of faith, he pleads with Jesus to come and lay His hand on her, confident that she will live again. As Jesus proceeds with him, a woman who has suffered silently for twelve years from a hemorrhage approaches from behind and touches the tassel of His cloak, believing that even such a simple act will bring her healing.The sudden death of a beloved daughter and twelve years of physical and emotional anguish are heavy crosses. Though our own trials may differ, we are invited to see ourselves in both of these suffering souls, especially during times of great hardship.The grieving father likely also felt powerlessness. He who had lovingly provided for his daughter from birth—feeding her, protecting her, guiding her—now stands helpless before death, a force he cannot overcome. Or so it seems.The woman with hemorrhages suffered both the physical toll of her affliction and also the social and spiritual isolation imposed by the Mosaic Law. According to Levitical law, her continual bleeding rendered her ritually unclean and cut her off from public worship and communal life. Because her bleeding was constant, so too was her separation—a painful, unending exile. There was nothing she could do to fix her condition. Or was there?In the face of suffering, each of us must choose: Either we turn to God in radical faith and surrender, or we fall into despair, resentment, and rebellion. Suffering rarely leaves us indifferent—it either purifies or hardens the heart. That is why every trial poses a question to us: Will I respond in faith or retreat into bitterness?Both of these suffering souls refused to surrender to despair. Instead, they turned to Jesus with bold and humble faith—one publicly kneeling, the other quietly reaching out. In both cases, their trust was met with Divine Mercy.What the Mosaic Law deemed unclean, Jesus welcomed and restored. He is not defiled by the woman's touch—He makes her clean. In this, Christ reveals that He is the fulfillment of the Law, the source of every true healing, especially the healing that comes through the Sacraments. In the Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Anointing of the Sick, we too may “touch His garment,” and receive the grace that restores what is broken. Reflect today on the consoling truth that no suffering is too deep, no exile too long, no loss too final for Christ. Whether your wounds are fresh or old, whether you can cry out or can only whisper a prayer in silence, reach for Him. Kneel before Him. Touch the hem of His garment in faith through prayer, the Sacraments, and trustful surrender. He will not turn away. He sees your pain, and if you let Him, He will enter into it, speak words of courage, and raise you up.My empathetic Lord, You see the sufferings of Your people, and Your Heart is moved with compassion for us. When trials arise in my life, help me to see them as gifts—opportunities to step out of my indifference and trust wholeheartedly in You. I believe that You will never permit me to endure anything for which Your grace is not sufficient. Jesus, I do trust in You.Image: Around the tea-table, by Thomas De Witt)Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

The Neuro-Emotional Dashboard: Mastering Behavioral Intelligence and Executive Resilience with Doug JohnstonIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Doug Johnston, the author of Choosing Emotions, to deconstruct the critical emotional variables that silently dictate leadership performance and organizational health. Doug, an expert on human behavioral dynamics, brings a highly analytical, science-backed approach to emotional regulation, moving the conversation far beyond superficial wellness clichés. This dialogue serves as an essential strategic manual for mid-market founders, enterprise executives, and high-performance teams looking to eliminate cognitive overwhelm, implement advanced self-distancing protocols, and convert raw emotional data into clear, high-leverage decision-making capital.The Cognitive Blueprint: Activating Prefrontal Governance and Expanding Emotional Vocabulary for Strategic ScalingThe primary threat to clear executive decision-making is rarely an external market shift, but rather an internal vulnerability to emotional hijacking and cognitive overwhelm during high-stakes scenarios. Doug Johnston explains that when corporate leaders operate without a precise emotional vocabulary, they struggle to differentiate between primary and secondary internal triggers—frequently allowing baseline anxiety or frustration to manifest as erratic, reactive management behavior that introduces friction into daily operations. Leveraging neuroscientific principles, such as Dr. Dan Siegel's "name it to tame it" methodology, demonstrates that simply labeling a precise emotional state activates the prefrontal cortex while down-regulating the amygdala, the brain's threat center. By intentionally expanding their behavioral vocabulary past generic emotional descriptors, founders transition away from erratic reactivity, gaining the absolute mental clarity required to maintain operational stability and protect long-term enterprise value.Transitioning an enterprise out of administrative friction demands that management tiers completely reject performative "toxic positivity" and instead establish deep, non-judgmental curiosity across all corporate communication channels. When a workplace culture enforces artificial optimism, employees naturally suppress critical operational risks, allowing systemic process gaps and talent attrition to expand silently beneath the surface. Real scalability is unlocked when leadership treats emotional states strictly as predictive navigational instruments—valuable data sets that signal underlying friction before it impacts the company balance sheet. Implementing objective check-ins at the start of strategic meetings and using targeted self-distancing exercises, such as externalizing stress through structured writing or journaling protocols, allows corporate teams to process internal blockages with complete transparency. This systems-driven approach replaces corporate posturing with an organic culture of radical accountability, optimizing human capital output while insulating company profit margins.Furthermore, sustaining a premium brand presence over multiple decades requires executives to intelligently deploy cognitive tools like shared humor to manage operational tension and build authentic authority across their entire industry vertical. Rather than relying on rigid, top-down directives to force compliance, modern leaders utilize strategic vulnerability and precise communication to establish permanent psychological safety throughout their labor infrastructure. By treating executive development as a strict scientific discipline and anchoring behavioral habits to empirical research, founders successfully future-proof their operations against shifting marketplace volatility. When structured emotional governance, advanced analytics, and human-centric corporate cultures are synthesized into a single operational architecture, a company naturally minimizes transaction errors and accelerates its growth trajectory, securely scaling impact and enterprise valuation under any market conditions.About Doug JohnstonDoug Johnston is a highly regarded corporate author, human behavior researcher, and speaker specializing in cognitive development and emotional intelligence metrics. Drawing from extensive behavioral data and a curated analysis of thousands of historical insights, Doug focuses on demystifying internal human mechanics to help corporate leaders achieve peak professional performance. He is the author of Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart, a definitive text dedicated to bridging the gap between deep neuropsychological research and real-world executive leadership execution.About Choosing EmotionsChoosing Emotions is a premier digital advisory hub, educational reference platform, and leadership development ecosystem designed to equip corporate executives, therapists, and team builders with robust behavioral toolsets. The organization specializes in delivering comprehensive emotional cataloging resources, featuring an extensive analysis of 272 unique emotional states and cross-referenced philosophical data points. Through structured training blueprints, specialized vocabulary frameworks, and mindfulness consulting playbooks, Choosing Emotions enables mid-market enterprises to remove internal friction, enhance team communication, and sustain high-performance corporate operations.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeChoosing Emotions Official Website: choosingemotions.comKey Episode HighlightsThe Neurochemistry of Labeling: Activating your brain's prefrontal cortex to neutralize emotional overwhelm and lower executive anxiety in high-stakes environments.The Curiosity Superpower: Approaching workplace triggers as a scientist examining data rather than reacting with unreflective corporate judgment.The 272 Emotional States Reference: Expanding internal communication precision to differentiate primary feelings from underlying secondary reactions.Dismantling the "Toxic Happy" Culture: Rejecting performative corporate optimism to encourage authentic, transparent workplace communication that exposes operational friction.The Abraham Lincoln Self-Distancing Technique: Utilizing structured writing protocols and unsent communications to process frustration and avoid impulsive management choices.ConclusionThe conversation with Doug Johnston reinforces that elite emotional intelligence is a strict, intentional architecture built on behavioral data rather than abstract personal feelings. By standardizing internal corporate tech governance, enforcing rigorous human-in-the-loop self-awareness, and focusing ruthlessly on long-term cognitive health, business leaders can transform a volatile personal infrastructure into a highly structured, self-sustaining corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Have you ever noticed that when you're growing, it's often hard to see it? Day by day, the changes seem small. Almost invisible. But when you pause and look back, you realize you've traveled farther than you thought. Today marks the completion of our first week together. Over the past seven days, you've practiced awareness, presence, heart-centered breathing, opening your heart through the Lotus Mudra, reconnecting with joy through the Second Chakra, and weaving these practices together through mindful integration. Tonight is not about learning something new. It's about noticing what is already changing. In this special weekly review meditation, you'll be invited to reflect on the journey you've taken, celebrate the habits you've begun to cultivate, and reconnect with the calm, wisdom, and resilience that have been growing within you all week long. Because transformation rarely arrives all at once. It arrives one mindful moment at a time. Today's intention: "I honor the person I am becoming." Take a deep breath, settle into gratitude, and let's reflect on the beautiful journey you've already begun. A Daily Message to Your Heart. Dear Friend, Before we begin today, I'd like to ask you a simple question. When was the last time you paused to acknowledge yourself? Not for achieving something. Not for checking another item off your list. But simply for continuing to show up. Over the past week, you've given yourself the gift of slowing down, listening inward, and creating space for what truly matters. That may not seem like much in a world that celebrates constant motion. But it matters more than you know. The habits you're building aren't just changing your days. They're changing the way you experience your life. So today, I hope you'll be gentle with yourself. I hope you'll recognize your progress, even if it feels small. And I hope you'll remember that every mindful moment you've practiced this week is a seed you've planted. Trust that it is growing. Even when you cannot yet see the bloom. I'm so grateful you're here. With love, Mary This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mindful Living: 7 Days to Create Better Habits," episodes 2523-2529.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE:  Find A Meditation Accountability Partner Consider inviting someone to join you on your meditation journey.

One of the most fascinating symbols in mindfulness traditions is the lotus flower. Unlike most flowers, the lotus begins its journey deep in muddy water. Yet somehow, it rises through the darkness, breaks through the surface, and blooms into something breathtakingly beautiful. Perhaps that's why the lotus has inspired spiritual seekers for thousands of years. It reminds us that beauty is not the absence of struggle. Growth is not the absence of challenge. And transformation often begins in the places we least expect. Today, we'll explore the Lotus Mudra, a heart-opening gesture that symbolizes the unfolding of our potential. As your hands form the shape of a blooming lotus, you'll be invited to reflect on your own journey and the possibility that something beautiful may be emerging within you right now. Even if you can't see it yet. Today's intention: "I trust the wisdom of my unfolding." Bring your hands into Lotus Mudra, take a deep breath, and discover what may be ready to bloom. Daily Message to Your Heart. Dear Friend, Have you ever noticed that flowers don't struggle to bloom? They don't question whether they're ready. They don't compare themselves to the flowers around them. They simply grow toward the light. Today, I hope you'll remember that your journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's. You don't have to rush your healing. You don't have to force your growth. You don't have to have everything figured out. Like the lotus, you are allowed to unfold one petal at a time. And even if this season feels messy or uncertain, that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Some of the most beautiful transformations begin where no one can see them. Including you. Trust your unfolding. I'm grateful you're here.

What if a single mistranslated word quietly bent the way the church has understood the gospel for 500 years? Most of us were handed a faith built on personal piety, sin management, and a ticket out of hell, and then left wondering what to actually do on Monday. In this conversation, author and former pastor Wayne Jacobson sits down with Daron Earlewine to unpack his new book Just Love and the claim at the center of it: the Greek word we translate "righteousness" was translated "justice" everywhere else. Daron and Wayne explore what changes when love, not performance, becomes the source of transformation, and how living loved produces real justice toward the people around you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ⚡️ How one Greek word came to be translated "righteousness" instead of "justice," and why that single shift reframes nearly every verse where the word appears. ⚡️ Why salvation was never meant to be amnesty for personal sin, but a doorway into the Father's love that changes you from the inside out. ⚡️ How being filled with God's love makes you a giver of life instead of a seeker of it, so justice becomes fruit rather than religious work.

What if the peace you've been searching for isn't somewhere out there waiting to be found? What if it's only one breath away? Today, we'll explore a beautiful heart-centered breathing practice inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh: "Breathing in, I feel peace. Breathing out, I am loved." These simple words hold a profound invitation—to stop striving, stop searching, and return to the quiet sanctuary within yourself. In this meditation, you'll discover how the breath can become a bridge between the mind and the heart, helping you release tension, soften self-criticism, and reconnect with a deeper sense of peace and belonging. If you've been carrying stress, self-doubt, or the feeling that you're somehow falling behind, today's practice offers a gentle reminder: You don't have to chase peace. You don't have to earn love. You only need to breathe. Today's affirmation: "Breathing in, I feel peace. Breathing out, I am loved." Settle in, place a hand over your heart, and discover what has been waiting for you there all along. A Daily Message for Your Heart. Dear Friend, What if the peace you've been searching for is closer than you think? So often, we look outside ourselves for reassurance, approval, and comfort. Yet some of the deepest peace we will ever experience begins within. Today, I invite you to let go of the idea that you must earn love or achieve more before you can feel whole.

Death, Resurrection Power and Revival (1) (audio) David Eells, 6/14/26 Coming Baptism of Death Unto Life Pearl Harbor James Kehrli (David's notes in red) In December of 1984, about a week after I purchased an old 1940 Cadillac sedan, I was driving around thinking about times gone by, particularly the time before and during World War II. Suddenly I heard the Lord say to me, very softly, “It's 1940 and Pearl Harbor is coming up for the Church”. I thought about betrayal, warfare, death and awakening! I prayed to the Lord about it and He began to reveal to me more about Pearl Harbor. He reminded me of a scene from the film Tora Tora Tora in which one of the Japanese military leaders remarked, after their attack on Pearl Harbor, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”. I thought about the Church finally waking up to her true condition. I thought about the terrible price our country paid in the 1940's to wake up to the realities of the world political situation. The price was human life, suffering, and destruction. But we did wake up. I thought about December 8, 1941, when we declared war against the Axis powers. Before that time, we were sending arms, supplies and money to our allies, but we were not sending men to help fight. We watched China, the Pacific Islands, France and much of Europe fall to Germany, Italy, and Japan, but we were not personally affected so we did not enter the warfare. It took a catastrophic event to wake us up. (His reference to waking up a sleeping giant reminds me of Tommy Hicks' End Time Vision and it becomes millions of people all over the world.) I prayed about and meditated on what I had heard until May of 1985, when I again heard from God during a baptismal service in our Church. The person to be baptized was an older lady who was quite concerned, even a little frightened, about being fully immersed. But she, after fifty years of disobedience and rebellion against God, desired to be baptized for the first time. Right before I was going to enter the water with her, a message in tongues came forth from my wife. The Lord gave me the interpretation by means of the following vision. This vision describes a future time of great hardship and great blessing for the Body of Christ. He showed me a deep harbor with blue-green water that was clear and calm. There was a Person in the water. This Person was not swimming or standing, but just floating in an upright position. He was motionless, like a sailing ship listing in a windless sea. Many Japanese Zero aircraft came in from the east and proceeded to dive-bomb and strafe the body in the water and the body began to slowly sink. Eventually, the body was entirely under the water. As he went down, I could see that there were many little people on this Body. As this Body sank deeper into the water, many of these small people jumped off just before they were about to enter the water. There were thousands of people jumping off and swimming away from this slow but steadily sinking Body. Some of these people jumped onto beds, which the Lord made clear to me were beds of adultery, and floated away, off to the left. Others jumped onto whiskey bottles and paddled away; still others jumped on books, while others swam off on their own strength. All of the people were floating, swimming or paddling in the same direction. I looked over in that direction, which was to my left, and I saw an extremely beautiful, gigantic woman, with skin and clothing of a deep reddish purple hue, standing solidly on the harbor floor. She stretched out her arms toward the sinking Body and got the attention of many as she very sweetly, seductively, and sincerely called out, “Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you WHAT YOU WANT!” (As we know, God separates His people, and the tares and goats go to the left, as in this vision. This is the Great Harlot of Rev 17:1-5 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, 5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.) The people who were jumping off were in a panic, like rats leaving a sinking ship. Some scurried to higher ground on the Body, going from the shoulders to the ears and finally jumping off the top of the head right before it went under. It was clear that THEY DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS BODY, but it was equally clear that they were not going down under the water with it either. The Body was now completely under the water, sinking steadily toward the bottom. Some of the little people hung on as it sank, but after a few seconds of holding their breath, they gave up, swam for the top, gulped a mouthful of air, and swam off toward the woman. The apparently lifeless Body sank deeper and deeper into the clear blue-green water. As it sank, I could see at the bottom of the harbor a beautiful, large, perfect Pearl - obviously of great value. It was supernaturally large and beautiful, lustrous, pure and round. As I watched, I could see the Body change shape from that of a single being, with little people desperately hanging on it, to many little individual people swimming deep enough to get to this beautiful Pearl. As they went deeper, many chose to quit and swim to the surface for air and life and then go over to the beautiful woman. All who quit diving eventually swam over to the beautiful woman. (The water puts to death the old man. They don't want to give up their fleshy life and die to self and follow Jesus.) Finally, I saw a number of these small people swim to the Pearl and touch it, and embrace it. But to do this, everyone who dove down reached a point when they realized that their own natural ability to hold their breath and dive deeper would not be enough. Those who dove down and touched this Pearl all came to understand that they would have to expend all of their natural strength before they touched and embraced the Pearl of Great Price. This did not keep them from diving down though, because the closer they got to the Pearl, the more of His beauty they saw. I saw many touch and embrace the Pearl and then immediately shoot straight up. As each of these little people shot up from the floor of the Harbor, each had the Pearl. As this group of individuals rose higher and higher, they all became one Body again. By the time these Pearl-laden people reached the surface they burst forth from the waters as one Body, the Body of Christ. These people were manifestly His own possession and they, in turn possessed the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus Christ Himself. (Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: …) As the Lord was showing me this beautiful picture, He spoke to me and said, “Even as Jesus came out of the waters of baptism, so My Body will come out of Pearl Harbor with a new and powerful anointing of My Holy Spirit, and a new and deadly power to fight the enemy”. He said that there indeed would come upon the Church of Jesus Christ a Pearl Harbor experience like the United States experienced on December 7, 1941. He said that when the Body of Christ begins to sink under the water, because of a soon-coming, devastating attack of the enemy, MANY will choose to desert our Lord Jesus Christ because they do not esteem the Pearl of Great Price (Jesus Himself) worth the price - death to their own selfish desires. They will not make the selfless effort of love to dive deeply enough to embrace Him because they do not love Him more than their own lives. Many will choose not to identify with what they assume is a defeated individual or group. They look upon themselves as winners and will not identify with a Jesus Who is apparently being defeated. They will choose to identify with the beautiful woman of the harbor who gives them what they want. As the vision revealed, many who leapt off the sinking Body because the woman of the harbor promised them success. Because of this, they went to her. Many others did not feel that it was necessary to pay such a high price to apprehend Jesus, and they felt that the beautiful woman would give them Jesus on their own terms. (This is the great falling away and like the parable of the seed and the sower; only one of the four held fast to the Word and bore fruit, 30-60 and 100-fold.) As the Body of Christ came out of the waters of death, the Lord said that His Body was now fully alive and would now fight the enemy with purpose and real anointing. (the coming Latter Rain anointing. Hos 6:3  And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.) Also, His Body would now use only supernatural weaponry. He spoke so clearly to me about the weapons. He said, “Even as the United States entered the Second World War using conventional weapons to fight the enemy, and ended the war with the atomic bomb, a weapon beyond their comprehension; so My people will begin this spiritual war with conventional weapons in the Spirit, but by the end of this war to end all wars, they will be using atomic bombs of the Spirit”. The Lord made it clear that we will come out of the water equipped with God-given anointing to REALLY heal the sick, work miracles, and deliver those in demonic bondage. He also made it clear that before the warfare ends, we will be moving in a dimension of spiritual warfare that is unimaginable to us now. We will do greater works than Jesus did and we will see the demon hordes routed like never before. After this message in tongues and interpretation was given, my attention turned back to the woman who was to be baptized. Then the Lord said that the Pearl Harbor experience for His Church would be similar to this woman's baptism. I closely watched this baptism to see what the Lord meant. The woman was very nervous and quite afraid of going under the water. I assured her that she would be all right. After several moments of prayer and a short teaching on what baptism represented, she was plunged underneath the water. She came out of the water with her hands lifted up, praising God. I had not told anyone what the Lord told me about this woman's baptism, because I did not know exactly what was going to happen. When she recovered her composure, she began to testify about what had just happened to her. She said that she was extremely fearful at first, but that when she got under the water, a Beautiful Peace swept through her, and all her fear was gone. This beautiful peace became joy as she came out of the water, and she praised God for His great comfort, love and mercy. I believe that God was showing us that we need not fear what He will put us through. His purpose is to bring us peace, joy, cleansing and power. He was also showing us that His Church will go through a baptism. It is a baptism of the Body of Christ. It is a death and a resurrection. We must trust Him to bring us out of this watery tomb of death and into the glorious resurrection power of His Son. We must understand that a harbor is a place of SAFETY and REFUGE. (As we have been shown. Those who reject death to self will not find this place.) God's people who are involved in these events will need to be safe and protected. The Harbor of the Pearl of Great Price is the only harbor that will provide refuge and safety, and ALL who believe will be more than willing to pay the price of dying to their own desires. Pearl Harbor is the death and resurrection of the Body of Christ, being prepared to do His work in His way, with His heart. It is the final separation of David from Saul - the David Church being purified and separated from the Saul Church. It is the final AWAKENING blast of the trumpet of God to rouse His people for battle. It is the judgment that begins with the house of the Lord. It is the refining fire that separates the gold from the dross. It will be preceded by the Lord dealing with His true people to both survive and desire this final preparation for battle. It is the promise of unmatched power and purity: power over sin, power over the enemy, power to live a much more virtuous life, and power to glorify our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even now, God is dealing with those in the David Church, even as God dealt with David. Whenever David would start to fall asleep to God's purity and purpose, the Lord would abruptly DEAL with David to AWAKEN him. God did not waste this kind of effort on Saul because Saul CHOSE to be asleep to God and His desires. Pearl Harbor is a warning of betrayal and disaster. The Church in the past has gone through many Pearl Harbors of betrayal and disaster. Jesus was betrayed, killed, and rose again. English Puritans experienced Pearl Harbor in the early 17th century and survived because they could not obey the law that the Church of England tried to force them to obey. They fled England and eventually sailed to the New World, where they laid the spiritual foundation for what eventually became one of the greatest revivals in the history of the world. John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress at the bottom of the harbor as he was betrayed by his own country and thrown in jail for not attending the services of the Church of England and for preaching in a way that did not conform to this church's liturgy. Had he given in and done that which they asked, he could have been a free man. But for conscience sake he chose not to do so. Because of this uncompromising obedience to the Scriptures and to God Himself, he was able to rise to the highest place in the history of Christian literature. Today, he still blesses us with the fruit of that resurrection power. To those who are not awake and prepared, Pearl Harbor will come suddenly and tragically, as a thief in the night, and they will be swept away to Great Deception. (As we are seeing.) To those who are more open to the will of God than they are to pleasing religious men, it will be an expected ordeal, a call to arms, and a prelude to great victory. The initial stages will be the harbinger of the greatest move of God in history: the Greatest Revival and the greatest manifestation of Christian Unity that the world has ever known.   The Pearls of Great Price Marie Kelton - 1/6/23 (David's notes in red) In this dream, I was in Chicago, and I was walking away from my old house on the sidewalk. (Leaving the house of our mother Church is a sign of growing in spiritual maturity.) I met Thaddeus (God's gift) and Greg (watchful or vigilant), two people I went to school with. (God gives us helpers along the way, like the fruits of the Spirit and wisdom; we must listen to them.) Thaddeus was to my left and Greg was to my right. As we were walking, I asked Thaddeus what had happened to him because I saw that he had a cut on his finger. Thaddeus said that he had a paper cut. I said to him, “Those are the worst.” (Our gifts can suffer when we go contrary to the Word which is written on paper and is a sharp two-edged sword.) We were going across the street and there was a tan van waiting for us to cross so that it could turn right. A red truck was behind the van, waiting also. As we were crossing, I felt an evil spirit grab the back of my shirt to keep me from continuing to cross the street. Thaddeus and Greg continued walking across the street. (We shouldn't get separated from our spiritual gifts by any demon or fleshly influence.) The person in the tan van was getting impatient and turned and hit me with their car. (The demons will try to hold us back so that we fall under judgment.) In the dream I told the Judge (representing the Father) about the car that hit me. The license plate on the front of the van had 333 in it. (Jer.33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.) (This is on the front or before the van hits, so to stop this, we must seek the Lord for His direction and wisdom!) The scene changed and I was in a car. I don't know if I was driving or not. I realized I was wearing an old necklace, and I heard a voice say, “Pearls.” (If our treasures have become tarnished from age or the curse we must sanctify them with repentance and faith and drawing near to Jesus.) In the dream I thought of the parable of the pearl of great price. While in the car, the Lord was supernaturally changing the radio stations to speak to me through the songs. Every time He would change the song, one of the old pearls from the necklace I wore would burst and break and a new pearl would be in its place. (As we seek His face and ask for wisdom, He will give us new born again beauty and values.) I was so excited and asked the Lord to keep speaking to me through songs on the radio. (The Lord's Words are melodious, pleasing Words to our spirit man.)  Mat.13:45-46, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. An Experience of Power G. W. - 10/17/22 (David's notes in red) I was going through a time of what seemed like reflection. I kind of felt like my life had no purpose, kind of meaningless. I've been waiting so many years, and it seems like nothing is happening. I didn't feel sad or condemned by it, but rather just wondering what God's mind was on everything. (The Word had the answers but he couldn't stay under it for long and would seek a simple message that did not demand death to self.) So, I was just questioning what God's purposes were for me in my life and if I was missing something. I was really earnestly seeking God and wondering what am I doing? Is there something I'm supposed to be doing that I'm missing? I don't want to waste any talents even though I don't see myself as having any great talents or anything, but I know the Lord has given us all some. I want to be able to use them. Before I went to bed, my wife and I prayed to the Lord about these questions. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to lie down on the couch. As I was lying down on the couch, I don't know if I fell asleep or if I was awake, to be honest. I'm assuming I fell asleep for just a few minutes. It seemed like a dream but I could feel everything happening in my body like it was real. I could hear myself say to myself, “You are such a loser” (I felt like it meant that I was not good for anything, meaningless life, etc.). (“We can do nothing without Him” but “We can do all things through Him”. His power is made perfect through our weakness. This revelation comes before the experience below.) Immediately, after that was said, this incredible Force picked up my entire body. Not even the strongest human on Earth would be able to resist this Force. My body was powerless, as I had no control over my motor functions. However, my consciousness was still there, and I was completely aware of everything that was going on from an observing point of view. This Force was moving me across the ground, as if I were a floating object. I then noticed something that the Force was moving towards. As I got closer, I knew that it was a shadow in the shape of a man. As the Force brought me directly over the shadow, I shot up in the air like a rocket! The Force moved me with such extreme velocity and an incredible amount of G-Force. It felt like my body was shaking like an earthquake (The Lord was showing him that He comes in those who will, through death to self, give themselves over to His Word and power.), as I was going straight up into the air. It seemed like the shadowy figure was what made the Force shoot me directly up in the air. I was shaking so excessively that it seemed to be contorting my face, as if soaring up through the air. I then seemed to come either out of the dream or into an earthly reality. I started to think normally, and I thought, is something wrong with me? What is happening to me? The Force started to wind my body down, and it began to become less intense. It shook me so hard that I could still feel it in my physical body, as I either woke up or came into complete consciousness. I started meditating on what had just happened. I thought about the shadowy figure. The only thing that kept coming to me was Trump. I have no idea why I felt this way. It might have looked like him, I'm not for sure. I don't think about Trump a lot, so it was very unusual for me to think that. (He is typed by Cyrus, who conquers DS Babylon, just when the Man-child is anointed over the Kingdom by the King. Cyrus is a shadow of Trump. Cyrus makes it possible for the Latter Rain Man-child to come and release the captives, as in Isaiah 61. So the shadow person could represent both of these entities ruling under God as the verse he received. The refuge here will be formed and our new provisions to reach the world will come.) I have a Bible App that I check every morning and it sends me a verse of the day. I opened the App and looked at the verse, it said “whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty”. I was amazed that it had the word “shadow” in the random daily verse!   Resurrected Back to Life D. L. - 05/24/2016 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was observing a group of about 12 people standing somewhat together. All of them had grey hair that was tending more toward the white. (This could be the 12 Man-children from UBM we have had many dreams about and who have been spiritually resurrected.) Then in walked a tall man who walked directly to the group and to a woman in the middle, whom I understood to be his wife. But he had died some time ago and had been buried at that time. (This is a repeat of history called the “out resurrection” by Paul in Phl.3:11 If somehow I may attain unto the out-resurrection from the dead. This is in the most accurate Numeric English New Testament. Here it is in history. Mat.27:50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised (Many of these were just dust by the time of this out-resurrection. All of these have a purpose in God's work); 53 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 54 Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. What a witness of the resurrection to these people! This partial resurrection will be worldwide. As a witness G.C. was resurrected after being dead and buried for 8 ½ months. He came walking into his kitchen to greet his wife. Six people were resurrected that day in a moment.) D.L.- Now, she was no longer a widow, but no one showed any emotion. (These men would have also been resurrected, so it's no surprise to them.) He just walked over to where she was and started talking to her. In the next scene, they were in a room off to my right, standing there talking. Then I woke up and it was almost 4:30 am. As I was waking up, I was still in the dream state and heard a knock at the back door, which is near the bedroom, and I opened the door. It was light outside and there stood my brother Darl, who had been dead since October of 2009 and was cremated. (Cremation is the fast oxidation of the body. The normal rotting of the body is slow oxidation. Both are just dust but God can bring them back.) He had brown hair but the last time I saw him it was white. He said he was on his way to Charlotte, NC to see his daughter and just stopped by to let me know he was around. He said he had a car and plenty of money to do what he had to do. Then he walked away and when he got about 20 feet away, I asked him if he was going to see our five children. And he said yes and that it was in his schedule. End of dream. (They have a God-given schedule for the revival. Could this be a secondary meaning to Paul's words? Php.3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; 11 if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead [Numeric pattern is in “the out -resurrection from the dead”]. 12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. Paul and others of his caliber will be among them.)   What's the Motivation of Your Heart? Sandy Shaw - April 2016 (David's notes in red) In this dream, the first thing I see is a white brick fence. People are walking on the fence. Some jump on the left side, and then they jump back on the fence. Some jump on the right side, and then they go back to the fence. And this is going on continually with people walking the fence. Then I realized the left side is the way of the world and the right side is the way of the Lord. When I realized that, I heard, “I will spew you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16). (Which God spoke to the lukewarm.) Then I noticed a man was standing next to me. I didn't know who he was until he spoke and He asked, “How does this edify Me?” I immediately felt conviction and asked the Lord for forgiveness for having my own agenda. Then I saw a little girl in a house. (A little girl represents immaturity.) She was looking out the window as she saw her friends outside. She was sooo anxious to go with them. She ran to a closed door in the house and knocked on it. And on the other side of the door was her mom. She said, “Honey, I'll be out in a minute”. At this point, the little girl turned and looks out the window and turned around and knocked on the door again. And her mom said, “Wait for me. I'll be out in a minute”. The little girl ran to the big window and saw that her friends are in the next yard. She ran to the table and saw paper and a pencil. She wrote, “I'll be back in a little while. I'm going to play with my friends”. So Mom comes out and called for the little girl and saw that she is not there but she saw the note. Time has passed, and the little girl comes back and she says, “Hi, Mom!” And Mom says, “Honey, come and sit down”. The little girl says, “Mom, did I do something wrong? I left a note; didn't you see it?” “Yes, I did. But I asked you to wait.” “But my friends had gone to the next yard”. Mom said, “Now I know I need to give you punishment. First, because you didn't wait and your plans are not my plans for today. Therefore, you did not listen”. Next, I saw a big tree. I was sitting under it with the same man next to me. He said, “Examine the motives of your heart. Are your desires My desires? Are your desires lined up with My Word? Examine the desires of your heart. Is the agenda of your heart yours or Mine? Your motives, your heart, your agenda -- are they lined up with the Word? Am I your All-in-All?” Pro.16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; But the LORD weigheth the spirits. 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life. Mar.12:30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. Psa.27:14 Wait for the LORD: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the lord. Isa.55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith The LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.   Surrendering Brings Swift Victory T.F. - 1/14/23 (David's notes in red) Suddenly, I felt the Lord's presence so strong in the spiritual realm. I then saw at that very moment, that in an instant, God could remove all the filth in my flesh and soul 100%, quicker than I could think, and He could manifest His presence 100% in my body and soul. I saw that it had already been done, and the manifestation could be done instantaneously. (The manifestation is progressive but it can be finished quickly. Php.1:6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. Psa.81:13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. 15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.) I know many other brethren pray for God to manifest Himself in us fully (Eph.3:19 to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.) We all want to be 100% dead to self, and my soul desires it so much for all of us. We know that, by faith, it has already happened and we will see it manifest in the physical realm. But, in that moment, when I saw He could do it all right then, my flesh got so terrified because it couldn't handle the presence of God that strong and that intensity so quickly. I desire it, and I know it will happen. But there is so much that I still have to let go of that isn't Christ, that God hasn't even revealed to me yet; so many hidden things. But God will reveal those things in His perfect timing, and I desire to let go of EVERYTHING that isn't Holy. I have thought that the complete removal of self in an instance would hurt because it is all I have ever known and His holiness replacing it would hurt if it happened without me being fully prepared. I felt that it had to be a gradual thing. I must let go of things bit by bit, and then the Lord can come and fill those spots, until there is nothing left but Jesus. I must keep letting go of my own carnal thinking, reasoning, and understanding and filling it with the Word and His Holy Spirit. (This is why God told the Israelites that every place that they set their foot in the Promised Land, He would give them. Because if He had wiped out their enemies all at once the land would have been overrun with wild beasts. So, He ordained that they conquer it a little at a time. Exo.23:28 And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.) I have felt and experienced what I would describe as my flesh surrendering bit by bit to the Spirit and the Word, but some parts still haven't surrendered completely and if it happened instantaneously, possibly my mind and body couldn't handle it. God's timing is perfect and we need to be prepared every day for an increase of Him in each of us in our soul and physical body. When we surrender to His Spirit willingly and surrender our whole heart to Him, it is so much easier for our body to submit. (1Co.9:27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.) Yes, I want the complete manifestation and deliverance from all evil in my soul and body, but I realized that it is a progressive thing, so that my physical body can handle it. God doesn't give us more than we can handle. God wants His Son to completely manifest in each of us. I can see Jesus growing and increasing in the brethren more and more, and it is so beautiful to witness. After experiencing this, I have felt so much closer to God and that every day we are getting closer and closer to Him manifesting in us fully. Every day, whether we see it or not, we are dying to self in some areas and He is coming into us more and more than the previous day. (Joh.3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.) Everything is His grace and can only be done by His grace. It is all because of Jesus. ALL Glory and praise to Our Father and Lord Jesus forever and ever! Lord, let us all willingly surrender to Your Spirit in all areas of our existence. Allow us to love You more and to rest in You, accepting Your grace and allowing You to flow through us. Thank You Lord, that Your grace is beyond anything we can comprehend. Thank You that we can do nothing without You, but we can do everything through You. Thank You that it's not us living, but Christ living in us. Thank You that we are dead to self and alive unto You, God in Christ Jesus. Thank You that Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death! Thank You, God that it is all You for all eternity! (My husband prayed and saw a young fruit tree - ambitious to bear hundreds of fruits, but not yet mature to do so. As the branches grew, buds formed all over and flowered. In time the tree was able to bear the amount it could handle.) Empty Me, (for Jesus) Debbie Fensky – 10/24/19 On Wednesday morning, October 23, I was awakened at 4:13 a.m. by a loud voice. I had fallen asleep on our sofa, and Denny was in the bedroom. My first thought was that he was yelling to me to get up. But when I looked at the clock, I saw it was too early to get up to get ready for the morning meeting. My mind cleared enough to realize that it was not Denny's voice. It was the voice of God or the voice of an angel of the Lord. And what He spoke was not in words I recognized. And it was really loud! It sounded to me like two words were spoken. I asked Father to let me know what He was saying through these words. I immediately heard, “Empty,” and He continued speaking. “This is the word for you, My people. Empty! The time is now to be empty! I am still uncovering hearts. Will you spend time with Me? For your hearts, your very life, is the temple in which I dwell. Do you know that you represent My authority? Do you truly know? Know this, that I know your name, for you hold My Name. I am going to bring back much truth to remembrance and reveal spiritual to spiritual. (The disciples related that this happened after Jesus died and was resurrected.) You are My spiritual people, and I want to continue working a spiritual work and a deep work in you and among you. And My authority will be upon you as you allow the spiritual light and truth to pour forth into your heart, and your mouth will speak deep things of My Spirit; things I have taught you. And people will know these things are true. But, My people, there is still some emptying out that needs to take place. For yea, I am cleaning you up. I am making you clean. Only be empty. Empty your hearts and yourselves of all your belongings, longings, and your trifles. Yes, even your own nothingness. What you think of yourself is not important. Glory only in that you are in Me, and that I am everything in you. I have a job to do through you. I have chosen you to be My humble, My emptied out, and cleaned up vessels. But I am letting you know the time is short. And I still need room for total residence.” I was moved by what Father said. And I was intrigued and wanted to know how “empty” was pronounced in the Hebrew. And I wondered if it was two words. So I tried something - I looked things up, asking God to lead me. In Hebrew, “empty” is “tohu bohu.” That was about the length of the words that I heard spoken to me so loudly. Some “empty” definitions: decant, lay bare, empty, raze, spill Strongs Hebrew 7386 adj; rake, empty, vain. Much that we give ourselves to is nothing; only vain. Strongs Hebrew 8414; formless, confusion, unreality, emptiness, desolation, empty space It said, properly spelled, it is, “tohuw bohuw.” And somewhere in all of this belongs, “tohu wa-bohu.” And this meaning (Heb), wasteness, that which is laid waste, desert, emptiness, vanity. But, “tohu bohu” is parallel to Isaiah 34:11, confusion, emptiness. Speaking about God's wrath against the nations, which we want to have no part of. So God is still telling us to get things of Egypt out of us. Isa.34:11 “But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, and owl and raven will dwell in it; and He will stretch over it the line of desolation and the plumbline of emptiness.” Father, may we desire to become completely empty of ourselves and our personal correctness, all that is vain, so that Your plumb line finds us measuring up to the fullness of Your likeness in us, so that we do not fall behind and even become as one of the nations. God, we need You to help us give it all up. Thank You for Your grace to do what You are being so long suffering in telling us to do. We do want You fully and totally residing in us. Lord, in Jesus name, help us to keep the end in view! Amen. Eph.4:12-13 “until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” 1Th.5:6 “so then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us be alert and sober.” Get Ready for God's Great Reset! The One Word Order - Kolyah - September 14, 2021 Rhema Word … 9.13.21 … entrusted to Kolyah … released just prior to Yom Kippur “Little ones, are you ready for My hard reset of your world? It is best that you prepare now, for in an instant, of My choosing, the brakes on this runaway world will suddenly be applied down to the floor … to the foundations; bringing this global wickedness to an abrupt halt. When that happens, there will be a hard tossing about, with slamming, banging, and pain for those who are not braced, awake, and aware. (This reminds me of Eve's Dream of the US/China Train coming to a sudden halt.) Do you remember the report of the loud shrieks of horror and mourning that arose in Egypt's night, at the death of their firstborn? Truly, I say to you, it shall happen again on a worldwide scale, as I bring forth the disclosure of the truth that will shatter hearts, minds, idols, and strongholds by the power of truth that will not be held back, modified, or contained behind closed doors. The cries of anguish and despair will finally bring the level of breaking necessary for the people to realize how wickedly they have been deceived, and how eagerly they have ingested the poisons promoted by the deceivers. (On both sides. This could be the EBS that Trump and the Alliance have been planning, revealing the DS satanic crimes and the false Christian leadership.) They will think that ALL IS LOST, as they see the price that they have paid for their blindness, stubbornness, pride, and fear. As no household was untouched by the grief arising throughout Egypt at the time of the first Passover, so shall it soon be in your day. Only the households that heeded my warning and those, who obeyed My voice, will be spared the depths of the pain. The righteous will mourn and grieve for those around them. They will weep for those across the world, who will be writhing in unspeakable agony of soul in the realization of the pit into which they have fallen. I will allow the righteous to feel the pain of seeing the losses among those whom they love, but I will not allow them to go into the deepest depths of soul pain; only into the depths of intercession that will lessen the pain in others. My compassion will undertake. Have I not said that those who did not LOVE the truth would fall into deception? Too few believed My word regarding that matter. As I am the first Truth, whom they are to love, those who have had a shallow, fickle affection for Me will find out the grave consequences of being casual about truth and without true love … and the results of accepting, as fact, only those things that fit into their own grid … into their prideful grid of comfort and human knowledge. They will feel horrifically betrayed, and well they should. Their own souls have betrayed them, because their love of My truth, and of My reality was only partial. In the pain of their consequences, they will have the opportunity to exchange an appreciation of truth for a committed LOVE of the truth. Not only am I Truth and Love, but I am also Justice and Commitment. Human justice and convenient human commitment will be humiliated through what is to be revealed soon. The deep falsehoods in the human premises will be shattered as My truth comes down like a hammer. Truth will not come down as a soft rain, for rain requires years to erode rock and to move mountains from their place. There is no time for that now. A rock smasher and a mountain crusher are needed to awaken the sleepers and to expose the truth before all is lost. The Enemy has been working his plans with wicked brilliance. I have allowed it to unfold in order to entrap him, and all those who are in league with him. The lies, which have provided the glue to secure their wicked plans and mandates of unholy power, are about to be changed into a slime. That slime will be powerless to hold their deceptions together. The road, which has been cemented into place through their deceit, will begin to sink and separate. Where then, will they walk in their prideful power? Who will join them on that slimy road, once the truth is exposed? All this will come … but first the howls and the tears must come to soften the hardened hearts, and to bring them to the melting point in the laser light of hot Truth. My way is righteous and wise. You must trust Me. The fear of Me has been replaced with the fear of man. The awe of Me has been replaced with the awe of inventions and technology. The awareness of human vulnerability has been replaced with an awe of intellectual prowess and confidence. All of these strongholds of wicked false worship, and of arrogant disregard of Me … all the strategies designed to supplant and to replace Me … will be brought down into dust. (What? No Med-beds? The use of AI, CGI, and high-tech devices.) It is good to be down on your knees in this hour, as the final round of increased shaking takes place. On your knees, you will be properly positioned before Me. Those on their knees will not be knocked down as the world rocks. Their personal kingdoms will not fall down upon their heads. The posture of submitted humility will be the place of safety for those who seek Me, and who abide in Me. But be advised: what is about to take place will greatly disquiet your souls. Do not allow the pain you see manifesting in the multitudes, nor the shrieks of those you love, cause you to mistrust or to despise Me. Trust Me that the process I bring forth will set My Great Harvest into place. Go to your knees soon, and remain in a spiritual posture of humility before Me as these days unfold. The Enemy of your souls will put up an even greater fight to retain power, and to seize even more. I have already declared the boundary set against this advance and have put that boundary into place. It will not be moved by him, nor by any of his associates. It will stand firm, for I have decreed it. (The boundary is the Bride. As in my vision of 2007, the boundaries of the catastrophes were the refuge.) Get out of the way of what I am about to allow and do. Move into a place of safety as I direct you. Do not fear and do not depend upon your own survival strategies. Simply abide in Me and be well. I will not allow more than you can handle. Have I not entrusted the words of truth in Psalm 91 to be a holocaust blanket, and a sure safety to surround you? Declare those words and find safety in the shelter of those promises. Know that the wailing of the masses will seek to disquiet you; to take you into fear and doubt. Don't go there, but rather profess your faith and stay in the Spirit at all times. Lock down in Me and hold. Gather in those who are standing, but who are weakening. Be a support of faith for each other. Share the treasure and the provision which I have given to you for this hour. What I provide will be more than enough. Entrust your troubled heart to Me. I will hold it securely and will fill it with all the love and hope you will need. Know this: I am fully in control. There is NOTHING out of My hand, plan, or notice. There will be many who have been on the fringes of faith, who will declare that My way is NOT GOOD. They will feel the horror of the unveiling, and then cry out that I am cruel for allowing such things. I AM MORE compassionate and patient … more loving and kinder than any of you can fathom. My path is a hard one, because the rebellion is very deep and widespread, consuming a great portion of humankind. (Stripes that wound cleanse away evil.) Unless there is a clearly visual manifestation, revealing where the influences of rebellion and deceit have taken your world, the changes in hearts will be only temporary and shallow. There are lessons to be learned. There are people to be reborn. There are powers of great evil embedded into every facet of human life that must be disclosed and stripped. As a result, these painful measures are necessary. I will allow only the smallest level of suffering required to bring the vital changes. The length and depth of human suffering will be determined by the speed at which the hearts and minds submit to the purpose of the shakings. See to it that you lovingly, clearly, tell the ignorant and the arrogant the truth about what is happening, and about what will yet happen. If you do not speak the truth to them, the hollow spaces formed within their human souls because of the shaking will be quickly filled with more lies, bringing more rebellion and more defiance against me. Cooperate with My plan to bring a Great Awakening, and see the Glory come to your world as a result. Hold on tightly to Me. The most violent shaking is about to come. (Spiritual and physical! In the warfare that is coming, there will be violent earthquakes which they are very capable of making; to say nothing of the nukes going off.)HOLD! Rest in Me, and do not withhold the truth from the terrified and perishing. The deceptions that have held them are about to crack. The trauma and terror of it will bring forth good fruit as we work together. All will be well. Trust, stand, obey, and believe. I am with you, and I am in charge. In the final analysis, you will bless Me for what I am about to allow, as well as that which I am about to bring forth from My own hand. Hold, and thank Me in advance for the glory which is soon to come to your world to change everything.” At the time we received this last revelation in 2021, a year after COVID-19 and the DS death jab. We prayed for people who took the shots and saw healings. We prayed for those who were infected by those who got the jab and saw healings. We know worse plagues than the DS's vax are coming. We have prayed for lost friends and seen healings. Some people who got the shots got placebos and showed no infection. Some only got the first shot and show less trouble. Cry out for mercy and God answers. The revival of the Man-child ministries will heal many when they believe. Mark 11:24 is still true. Mar.11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Like Esther, intercede for your family and the people of God that they repent and accept God's word and turn this thing around for them. Many times God changes a decree when touched by faith. Pray for your loved ones and cover them. All things are possible to him that believeth. Like the woman who, in rebellion, finally decided to get baptized, and shared her experience of the extreme fear she felt before she was submerged in the water, which was replaced by a beautiful peace and joy. That's what's coming for those who obey and surrender to the Word of God. The power of the Holy Spirit will fill those who repent and obey.   Prepare, I Come Quickly Eve Brast – 8/20/18  Yesterday, as I was working, around 11 am, the Lord spoke to me very clearly, “I come quickly... Go, My daughter, and write the things I speak and warn My people.” So I grabbed my notebook, and He said, “In a very little while you shall see Me. I come quickly. Tell My people to enter into the secret places of their hearts and cry unto Me for purity and holiness; to press into the voice of My Holy Spirit. Listen to My voice in the quiet place. Soften your hearts to My corrections. Cleanse yourselves of all defilement of flesh and spirit. If your hearts are pure and willing, I will fill you with My power to overcome. Separate yourselves from distractions and the useless things of this world and this life. There is so little time left. So little time!! Seek Me with all your mind, will, and strength and I will be found of you. Don't faint in the day of adversity! Many judgments and terrible things are coming. Do not get weary of seeking Me daily. Do not grow weary of sanctification. Be diligent to be found in Me. When I return and judgments fall, will you be found in Me? Your adversary is increasing his activities, especially against My holy ones, seeking to deceive and destroy as many as will listen to his lies. All idolaters will fall. Wherever idols are found, the enemy will gain access to your souls. The idol of self is the biggest deception. You sit on the throne of your own hearts and are deceived by your own mind, will, and emotions!! Put on My whole armor and fight! Do not let down your guard even for a minute. Understand your enemy's tactics! He will use your friends, even your brethren, your family members, and your phones and electronic devices to keep you from obeying this word I speak to you. Resist the distractions and the cunning deceptions and lies. Do not listen to lies! Cast down every vain thing, every vain thought, or these will take root in your heart and mind and exalt themselves above Me and My Word. Then shall the scales cover your eyes and your ears will be stopped, and the deceptions will overtake you! You will not even recognize it. Go forth in intercession, void of distractions. Don't be slothful! Pray without ceasing and I will lead you to victory. You will be found in Me and the devil will have nothing in you. In this way you will live in the light of My truth. I will lead you forth in victory, conquering all your enemies. I have provided everything you need, but you must use it!” I asked Father for a text for this word by faith at random and my finger was on the phrase, “there is no respect of persons” in Colossians 3:25 (in context 1-25) Col.3:1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. 5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7 wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; 8 but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. 17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Deborah Fensky - 8/29/18 God started speaking this to me last week in a couple of the morning meetings and last Friday night's meeting. Since last Friday, after I was done receiving this word, several things were shared here and there that matched up with or seemed to me to confirm things in this word. I had been questioning God about Him being bitter. But then He reminded me that He hates, and how in so many places in the word, God expressed what and who His soul hates. He let me know that He can be bitter too. Then on the last conference call Michael asked everyone, “Can God hate?” Along with other things this week that have been said, I felt God was confirming this word to me. But I did ask Him today to confirm with 2 heads if I should share this now, or wait. I know other words have been spoken that we need to remember. Yet, today I tossed and immediately got 2 heads. “I am bitter toward My people. I am bitter with anger. Listen, My holy ones. Have I not said that I come quickly? I come quickly, with a strong vengeance. For My people disregard Me. They disregard My ways. They refuse to seek Me out, but stubbornly adhere to their own likes and desires. Yet, though I am bitter with anger towards My people, My mercy will cause Me to hear their cries of repentance. Hear My cry, My holy people. I need you. I need you to pray and fight for My lost and stubborn children. And I need you in this day to continually draw close to Me. Live in love and faith, and in the wisdom of My Word and by My Spirit. For though living in an evil day already, as I have warned, dark evil is soon to descend upon all the earth; a darkness so gross that the light of My Glory to shine forth, penetrating that darkness, drawing My lost people out of the world to the light. I am the Light. My holy ones, you are the Light. You in Me and I in you. The dark and evil day is upon you. Thrust all your faith in Me and Me alone. There can nothing be of yourself. Yes, the day you are about to enter is a day of deep darkness, but a day of My power. It is the day My Glory will be fully revealed in My holy ones. Have I not said, I come quickly? I need you to trust Me. I need you to make yourself ready. Make yourself ready!”

Sunday 5PM SeriesDon't Listen to Your Heart, Talk Truth to Your SoulIsaac Perry06/14/26Psalm 103:1-5

Tonight marks the completion of our first week together. Over the past six days, we've explored awareness, letting go, acceptance, trust, compassion, and balance. These aren't simply ideas to understand—they are experiences to embody. In tonight's meditation, we'll reflect on the journey you've already taken and explore the theme of embodiment: allowing wisdom to move from the mind into the body and heart. You'll discover why neuroscience suggests lasting change happens through repetition and experience rather than insight alone, learn an ancient teaching about living wisdom rather than collecting it, and hear a relatable story about someone who spent years searching for peace before realizing it had been within them all along. As your body relaxes and your thoughts settle, you'll be invited to stop striving for growth and simply become the calm you've been practicing. Perfect for: Overthinking at bedtime Anxiety and mental restlessness Reflecting on personal growth Deep relaxation and restorative sleep Ending the week with peace and gratitude   A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART Dear Friend, Tonight marks one week of showing up for yourself. Before anything else, I hope you'll pause for a moment and acknowledge that. So often we focus on how far we still have to go that we forget to honor how far we've already come. Over the past week, you've practiced awareness, letting go, acceptance, trust, compassion, and balance. Maybe some nights felt easier than others. Maybe your mind still wandered. Maybe sleep didn't come as quickly as you hoped. That's okay. Growth rarely happens in dramatic moments. More often, it happens quietly—in the small choices we make again and again. The choice to return to our breath. The choice to be gentle with ourselves. The choice to keep showing up. Tonight isn't about learning something new. It's about recognizing what is already growing within you. You don't need to become someone different to find peace. You simply need to trust what you're already becoming. I'm grateful you've shared this journey with me. And I'm so glad you're here. With love, Mary This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud. This seven-day guided sleep meditation series is designed to help you gently step out of repetitive thinking, release the mental weight of the day, and create a more peaceful transition into sleep. Each evening introduces a different calming practice, including visualization, affirmations, slow breathing, mudra, chakra meditation, layered relaxation, and a Yoga Nidra–inspired weekly review. Together, these practices guide you through a soothing emotional journey: Release. Rest. Ground. Protect. Nurture. Balance. Embody. Throughout the series, you'll explore a blend of modern mindfulness, gentle nervous-system support, ancient yogic wisdom, reflective storytelling, and compassionate encouragement. This is not about forcing your mind to become blank or making sleep happen on command. It is about changing the way you relate to your thoughts—learning to notice them without following every one, softening the urge to solve everything at night, and allowing your body to remember how to rest. Over the course of the week, you'll be invited to: Release unfinished thoughts and worries Give yourself permission to rest Ground your awareness in the breath and body Create a sense of emotional safety at bedtime Meet overthinking with compassion instead of criticism Bring multiple calming practices together Reflect on what helps you feel most peaceful and supported Each episode also includes a daily reflection question and a supportive Message for Your Heart to help you carry the practice beyond the meditation. You do not need to finish every thought tonight. You do not need to solve tomorrow before it arrives. Let this series become a gentle evening ritual—a place to set down the day, quiet the mind, and return to yourself. Press play, settle into a comfortable position, and begin your seven-day journey toward deeper rest and a calmer relationship with your thoughts.

I invite you to consider the gentle middle path between effort and surrender. Many of us carry the weight of unfinished tasks, unanswered questions, and endless mental to-do lists into bed. But sleep does not arrive through more effort. It arrives when we allow ourselves to rest in balance. In this episode, you'll discover a fascinating insight from neuroscience about the brain's nighttime processing systems, learn an ancient wisdom teaching about the importance of rhythm and moderation, and hear a relatable story about someone learning that not every problem needs to be solved before sleep. As your body softens and your mind quiets, you'll be guided into a peaceful state where balance replaces striving, allowing sleep to come naturally. Perfect for: Racing thoughts at bedtime Anxiety and overthinking Difficulty letting go of unfinished tasks Deep relaxation and restful sleep A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART Dear Friend, As we arrive at Day 6 of our journey together, I want to remind you of something important: You do not have to carry everything. So many of us believe that if we think a little harder, plan a little better, or stay awake a little longer, we'll finally find peace. But peace isn't found by doing more. Sometimes it's found by allowing ourselves to stop. Tonight's theme is balance. Balance isn't having everything figured out. It's knowing when to set things down and trust that tomorrow is another day. If your heart feels heavy tonight, give yourself permission to release the pressure to solve every problem before sleep. The unfinished tasks can wait. The unanswered questions can wait. You have done enough for today. You deserve rest, not because everything is complete, but because you are human. As you listen tonight, may you find the balance between effort and surrender, between doing and simply being. I'm so glad you're here. With love, Mary This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud. This seven-day guided sleep meditation series is designed to help you gently step out of repetitive thinking, release the mental weight of the day, and create a more peaceful transition into sleep. Each evening introduces a different calming practice, including visualization, affirmations, slow breathing, mudra, chakra meditation, layered relaxation, and a Yoga Nidra–inspired weekly review. Together, these practices guide you through a soothing emotional journey: Release. Rest. Ground. Protect. Nurture. Balance. Embody. Throughout the series, you'll explore a blend of modern mindfulness, gentle nervous-system support, ancient yogic wisdom, reflective storytelling, and compassionate encouragement. This is not about forcing your mind to become blank or making sleep happen on command. It is about changing the way you relate to your thoughts—learning to notice them without following every one, softening the urge to solve everything at night, and allowing your body to remember how to rest. Over the course of the week, you'll be invited to: Release unfinished thoughts and worries Give yourself permission to rest Ground your awareness in the breath and body Create a sense of emotional safety at bedtime Meet overthinking with compassion instead of criticism Bring multiple calming practices together Reflect on what helps you feel most peaceful and supported Each episode also includes a daily reflection question and a supportive Message for Your Heart to help you carry the practice beyond the meditation. You do not need to finish every thought tonight. You do not need to solve tomorrow before it arrives. Let this series become a gentle evening ritual—a place to set down the day, quiet the mind, and return to yourself. Press play, settle into a comfortable position, and begin your seven-day journey toward deeper rest and a calmer relationship with your thoughts.

Place a hand over your heart. It's time to be gentle with yourself as you turn in for the evening. Visualize a soft green or rose-colored light, and respond to worried thoughts with warmth instead of criticism. You'll also hear an approachable explanation of self-compassion, ancient yogic wisdom connected to the heart center, and a relatable story about setting down the need to remain constantly on watch. Tonight's practice is not about forcing the mind to become silent. It is about reassuring the part of you that has been working so hard to protect you. Let this meditation help you soften emotional tension, feel more supported within yourself, and prepare for peaceful rest. Tonight's reflection question: What might my overthinking be trying to protect me from, and what reassurance does that part of me need tonight? Daily Message for Your Heart "I want to remind you that you are not doing anything wrong because your mind feels busy. Sometimes overthinking is simply a tired part of you trying to feel safe. Tonight, meet that part with kindness instead of criticism. Place a hand over your heart and gently say: "I am here with you. You do not have to keep watch. We can rest now." You do not need every answer tonight. You are doing the best you can, and you are worthy of rest exactly as you are."

Midweek Milestone Note: Look at how far you have come since Day 1. In just a few short days, you have actively retrained your nervous system to step out of survival mode and find its footing. Hitting the middle of the week is often when external demands peak, making tonight's practice the perfect opportunity to witness your own growth and resilience. You are doing an incredible job sticking with this commitment to your inner peace—keep going. Are you arriving at bedtime feeling completely depleted, over-stimulated, or emotionally exhausted from absorbing the stress of your environment?  Tonight, our developmental arc is Protect. In this session, we explore the somatic neuroscience of energy conservation and sensory overload—revealing how high-stress days create subconscious tension loops in the lower abdomen that block deep sleep. Tonight, we introduce a high-performance physical seal: the Shakti Mudra. By closing specific nerve circuits in your fingers and directing your focus to your core, you actively signal your nervous system to drop its armor, halt cortisol production, and build an unshakeable boundary around your sleep. Turn down the volume of the world, lock your protective seal, and drop into deep, restorative rest. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Porous Nervous System: The biological reason why high-achievers absorb environmental anxiety and hit a wall of nighttime sensory burnout. The Shakti Mudra Protocol: Step-by-step instructions on how to use this hand seal to soothe the pelvic plexus and trigger a parasympathetic shift. Somatic Shielding: A guided bedtime integration to help you stop over-functioning for the world and reclaim your absolute sovereignty over the night. A Message for Your Heart "I know how deeply you care for everything and everyone in your orbit. You are constantly holding up a massive vision, managing complex timelines, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because your heart is so big, it is incredibly easy to let the chaotic energy of the outside world bleed into your personal sanctuary when the lights go out. Tonight, I want to remind you that protecting your peace is not selfish—it is an act of supreme inner sovereignty. You cannot serve from an empty well, and you do not have to be a sponge for the stress of the world to be successful. By holding the Shakti Mudra tonight, you are safely sealing your borders and declaring that your rest is non-negotiable. Step back into your own power. You are doing an extraordinary job." This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud.

Are you lying awake with an overactive mind, feeling completely untethered by the stress and demands of your week? Tonight, our developmental arc is Ground. In this session, we break down the clinical neurobiology of somatic grounding—exploring how high-velocity lifestyles trap our breathing patterns in the upper chest, sending a continuous loop of false danger signals directly to the brain stem. Tonight, we deploy a highly effective, immediate physical intervention: the 4-6 Grounding Breath for 10 continuous rounds. By precisely extending your exhalations, you actively engage the vagal brake to slow your pulse, clear adrenaline, and anchor your awareness deep into the physical mattress beneath you. Turn down the volume of the world, settle into your body, and drop effortlessly into deep, unshakeable sleep. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Upper-Chest Danger Loop: How shallow, rapid breathing keeps your body stuck in a sympathetic adrenaline loop even when you are physically exhausted. The Mechanics of the Vagal Brake: The exact science of how a 4-second inhale paired with a 6-second exhale floods your system with calming neurotransmitters. The 10-Round Somatic Anchor: A guided bedtime breathwork progression to lower your internal center of gravity, dissolve muscle bracing, and stop nighttime overthinking. A Message for Your Heart "The noise and acceleration of a busy week can pull you out of your own center. When you are steering a major vision and managing endless logistics, it can feel like your mind is spinning a thousand miles an hour even when the lights go out. Tonight, I want to remind you that you are the deep-rooted tree, not the leaves swirling in the wind. You do not have to carry today's burdens into tomorrow's dreams. By dedicating these ten rounds of breath to your own grounding, you are claiming your sovereignty over the night. You are telling the world: 'I am here, I am safe, and I am choosing to rest.' Let the heavy weight of your own body remind you of your absolute resilience tonight. You are doing an extraordinary job." This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud.

Turn off the screen, let your shoulders sink into the mattress, and claim your absolute right to nighttime peace. Are you struggling to fall asleep because your mind refuses to shut down? Do you lie awake scrolling through tomorrow's to-do lists, rewriting emails, or cycling through background anxiety? Welcome to Day 2 of our master sleep series, Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking. Tonight, our developmental arc is Rest. In this session, we dive into the neuro-somatic science of nighttime hyper-arousal—exploring exactly why a high-velocity lifestyle keeps your brain locked in a frantic "fight-or-flight" loop even when you are physically exhausted. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Neurobiology of a Racing Mind: Why managing a heavy daily workload causes nocturnal hyper-arousal, making it impossible to transition into deep sleep. The River of Peace Visualization: A highly effective somatic tool to help you decouple from persistent thoughts and watch mental clutter drift away naturally. A Daily Message for Your Heart You may be constantly balancing an incredible mountain of moving parts, steering a large vision, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because you carry so much responsibility, your mind naturally wants to keep working overtime, treating your pillow like a boardroom. Tonight, I want to remind you that your productivity is done for the day, and your worth is not measured by how much you carry. You do not have to finish tomorrow's tasks tonight to deserve an absolute sanctuary of rest. You are allowed to take your hands completely off the wheel. Let the affirmation 'At night, I release the day and return to peace' act as a soft, protective shield around your spirit as you sleep. The world can wait. You are safe to let go now. You are doing an extraordinary job." This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud.

Throughout the series, you'll explore a blend of modern mindfulness, gentle nervous-system support, ancient yogic wisdom, reflective storytelling, and compassionate encouragement. This is not about forcing your mind to become blank or making sleep happen on command.

Quiet a busy mind and gently release the day with this guided sleep meditation for overthinking. In Day 1 of this seven-day sleep meditation series, you'll begin with the emotional theme of release. Through a calming river visualization, you'll practice noticing thoughts without becoming caught in them, allowing worries, unfinished tasks, and mental tension to drift away. This soothing bedtime meditation also explores the ancient yogic principle of aparigraha, or non-grasping, along with the idea that clarity can emerge when we stop trying to solve everything at once. You do not need to finish every thought tonight. Let this meditation help you slow down, soften your grip on the day, and prepare your body and mind for peaceful rest. Tonight's reflection question: What thought, responsibility, or unanswered question am I willing to set down for tonight? Daily Message for Your Heart: "You do not have to carry every thought to its conclusion tonight. You do not have to solve tomorrow before it arrives, replay what has already happened, or hold yourself responsible for every possible outcome. Some things become clearer when you stop reaching for an answer. Some feelings soften when you give them space. And some burdens become lighter when you allow yourself to set them down, even temporarily. Releasing does not mean that you no longer care. It means you trust yourself enough to pause. You can return to what matters tomorrow with a rested mind, a steadier body, and a more open heart. For tonight, let unfinished things remain unfinished." This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, 3521-3527 SLEEP MEDITATIONS TO STOP OVERTHINKING.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud. This seven-day guided sleep meditation series is designed to help you gently step out of repetitive thinking, release the mental weight of the day, and create a more peaceful transition into sleep. Each evening introduces a different calming practice, including visualization, affirmations, slow breathing, mudra, chakra meditation, layered relaxation, and a Yoga Nidra–inspired weekly review. Together, these practices guide you through a soothing emotional journey: Release. Rest. Ground. Protect. Nurture. Balance. Embody. Throughout the series, you'll explore a blend of modern mindfulness, gentle nervous-system support, ancient yogic wisdom, reflective storytelling, and compassionate encouragement. This is not about forcing your mind to become blank or making sleep happen on command. It is about changing the way you relate to your thoughts—learning to notice them without following every one, softening the urge to solve everything at night, and allowing your body to remember how to rest. Over the course of the week, you'll be invited to: Release unfinished thoughts and worries Give yourself permission to rest Ground your awareness in the breath and body Create a sense of emotional safety at bedtime Meet overthinking with compassion instead of criticism Bring multiple calming practices together Reflect on what helps you feel most peaceful and supported Each episode also includes a daily reflection question and a supportive Message for Your Heart to help you carry the practice beyond the meditation. You do not need to finish every thought tonight. You do not need to solve tomorrow before it arrives. Let this series become a gentle evening ritual—a place to set down the day, quiet the mind, and return to yourself. Press play, settle into a comfortable position, and begin your seven-day journey toward deeper rest and a calmer relationship with your thoughts. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE NIGHTSTAND SURRENDER RITUAL Each night, write the thought taking up the most mental space. Fold the paper, place it in a small bowl or box beside your bed, and say: "This thought may rest here while I rest." Revisit the notes only during daylight.   FUN NAMES FOR YOUR CONTAINER The Thought Hotel• Tomorrow's Department The Worry Vault The Resting Place   MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Guided Sleep Meditation to Stop Overthinking and Release the Day River of Thoughts visualization: place each worry on a leaf and let it drift downstream.

In this thought-provoking episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb welcomes author, researcher, keynote speaker, and former corporate executive Doug Johnston, author of Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart. Together, they explore the powerful connection between emotions, language, healing, and human experience. Doug shares the deeply personal story that inspired his book: a conversation with his teenage daughter during her struggle with depression that led him on a nearly decade-long journey researching emotions and collecting thousands of quotes from philosophers, psychologists, scientists, leaders, and everyday people. What began as a father's desire to help his daughter became one of the most comprehensive consumer-facing resources on emotions. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Deb and Doug discuss: • Why emotions are not obstacles to overcome but tools that help us navigate life • The role of language in healing, self-awareness, and emotional growth • How finding the right words can help us better understand ourselves and others • The connection between emotional literacy, emotional coherence, and wellbeing • Why emotions are foundational to reasoning and decision-making • The importance of naming experiences, especially trauma, as part of the healing process • How quotes, journaling, reflection, and storytelling can support emotional growth and recovery • The difference between being stuck in an emotional experience and learning from it • Why making friends with our emotions may be one of the most important skills we develop throughout life Whether you are navigating trauma recovery, personal growth, leadership, emotional wellbeing, or simply looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, this episode offers practical wisdom and meaningful insights into the role emotions play in shaping our lives.

Send us Fan MailStuck Isn't Your Identity… But Indecision Might Be Keeping You ThereHave you ever felt stuck?Stuck in your health, your relationships, your business, your purpose… or even stuck in a version of yourself that you've already outgrown?In this episode, Amy gets real about the emotional and mental exhaustion that comes from indecision. The conversations you keep avoiding. The appointments you keep putting off. The boundaries you know you need to set. The dream you keep delaying because you're waiting for perfect clarity.Amy shares why unresolved things are expensive — not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. She explains how living in a constant state of “I don't know” quietly drains your energy, steals your peace, and keeps you trapped in cycles of overthinking and avoidance.This episode is a wake-up call to stop doom scrolling, stop numbing, stop overthinking, and start moving. Because momentum is medicine. Movement is medicine. And clarity often comes after the step — not before it.Amy also opens up about a personal decision she finally made after carrying the weight of it for years, reminding listeners that breakthrough doesn't always feel peaceful in the beginning.

What is the condition of your heart? How is your soil? In Matthew 13, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower and challenges us to examine how we receive the Word of God. Some hearts are hard. Some are shallow. Some are divided by the cares of this world. But when the Word of God lands on good soil, it produces real fruit and lasting transformation. Following Jesus is not about religion, emotional highs, or trying harder. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone.

We have reached the conclusion of our 7-day archive series, The Compassionate Return. Today is a day of reflection and integration. We review the somatic tools and heart-centered shifts we've practiced this week, grounding them into a lasting sense of self-honor that you can carry with you long after the meditation ends. In This Episode: From Practice to Presence: How to maintain a compassionate baseline in a high-stress world. The Sovereign Heart: A final guided meditation to seal in your progress and claim your inner peace. A Daily Message for Your Heart:  Take a moment to be truly proud of yourself. It is not easy to look inward with kindness, especially when the world demands so much of our outward energy. You have claimed your right to self-honor. You have proven that your heart is a place of transformation, not just a place of burden. As you move forward, let the affirmation 'I honor the journey I am on' stay tucked in your pocket. You are exactly where you need to be, and you are doing a beautiful job. I am so glad we walked this path together. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Healing with Compassion: A Meditation Series for Self-Honor," episodes 2586-2592. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY I want to start by wishing a very Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, and those who provide that steady, nurturing light in our lives. Today, I've reached into the archives to bring back a very special series I recorded a few years ago. As I was sitting here with my tea, I realized that there is no greater gift we can give—to our mothers or to ourselves—than the gift of Compassion. This series, The Compassionate Return, is a journey of self-honor. It is about softening the edges of how we view our own lives so we can show up more fully for those we love.

Happy Mother's Day! Today, we begin a special archive series titled The Compassionate Return: A Journey of Self-Honor . In a world that often asks us to be hard and fast, this week is an invitation to be soft and present. We are exploring the ancient art of healing through compassion and learning how to truly honor our own inner terrain.  In This Episode: The Power of Self-Honor: Why compassion is the most important tool in your emotional toolkit. The Gentle Return: A guided meditation to help you drop the "armor" and return to your quiet center A Daily Message for Your Heart  Especially today on Mother's Day, I want you to remember that you cannot pour from an empty cup. Compassion is the water that refills that cup. Whether you are celebrating with family or finding a quiet moment of reflection, I hope you allow yourself the grace to be 'in progress.' You don't have to have it all figured out to be worthy of your own kindness. As you move through your day, keep this affirmation close: 'I honor the journey I am on.' You are doing a beautiful job.  This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Healing with Compassion: A Meditation Series for Self-Honor," episodes 2586-2592.

Sona and I recap the latest Your Friends & Neighbors, “And for Everything Else, There Was Bowling,” with a long digression into shifting TV/sports monoculture, Ticketmaster/scalping dynamics, and Broadway ticket realities. We discuss declining NBA/awards ratings, how podcasts create smaller communities (including listeners who don't watch the shows), and plug the Patreon plus a bonus breakdown of a surprise secret episode of The Bear featuring Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. On the show recap, we debate this midseason “soft reset” focused on Coop processing his father's death, the cufflinks vs. bowling ball symbolism, the ghostlike POV/camera motif, and the Warren Zevon song “Keep Me in Your Heart for A While.” We criticize episode length, scattered subplots (Mel's perimenopause, Tory/Princeton, dog poop, Barney's wife, Ashe), and hope the final four episodes regain clear stakes and plot momentum.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26May03.pdf * In our study of the book of Ecclesiastes, we have considered Solomon's background, his misguided philosophy of life, and ... last week ... his decision to purposefully consult with his own heart and trouble his own heart. In those studies, we then considered the Biblical exhortation that is in response to each of these - the need to Remember Your Creator in the Days of your Youth, the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Philosophy of Life, and the need to Remember Your Creator in Your Heart. * Last week, we specifically considered the need to set your heart on God and to love Him with ALL of your heart. Those who do so will subsequently see the need to set their heart on God's Word - memorizing it, meditating on it, and modeling it in their lives. * As we establish ourselves in a Biblical philosophy and set our hearts upon God, it will inspire us to pursue avenues of pleasure that are consistent with those other choices. * Sadly, we see in Solomon's life that this progression of thought is also true in those who have an unbiblical philosophy of life and choose to set their heart upon themselves. The avenues of pleasure that they choose will be toward the pursuit of self-pleasure. * As Americans we should be very familiar with our topic today, for the Declaration of Independence declares that there are three unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That last term is our focus today - our happiness. What makes us happy? What pleases us, or brings us pleasure? * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 3, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

This episode originally aired on March 14, 2023.   Today I'll re-share words from someone else for all of us to listen to and carry with us and reflect on together. I've chosen a poem by Macrina Wiederkehr, a writer who has been a companion for me for many years now (though she never knew it.) She was a master of everyday spirituality and had a lovely way of seeing and speaking of God in the midst of ordinary things of life. Macrina wrote a reflection on Jesus' interaction with the woman at the well, as recorded in John chapter 4. So here is "On Being A Well" by Macrina Wiederkehr from her book, Seasons of Your Heart. Listen in.   Links + Resources From This Episode: Seasons of Your Heart by Macrina Wiederkehr The Quiet Collection app Order The Next Right Thing Guided Journal Join The Soul Minimalist Substack Order a How to Walk into a Room Download the free discussion guide for How to Walk into a Room by visiting this page and clicking the button "Discussion Guide" Find me on Instagram @emilypfreeman Leave a review on Apple Podcasts
