 "He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36 All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving always, to the One True God, the living God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
At the end of 2020, God showed me that He is drawing a line with His finger in stone, and everyone will be able to see on which side of the line they stand, and make a choice. Then, two years later, on December 27, 2022, that "The Line is Drawn." And, finally, yesterday, January 3, 2023, showed me that the two sides of the line are "Justice" and "Wrath." God is lifting the veil of blindness from our hearts momentarily, so we can choose righteousness, mercy and compassion, or justice. What does this mean? It means we, the people, need to remember God's Word, and which side of the line He represents, because sometimes the line may seem a little blurry, if we do not have God's Word stored in our hearts. JUSTICE OR WRATH Justice definition: "the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness." Wrath definition: "1) strong, stern, or fierce anger; deeply resentful indignation; ire.; 2) vengeance or punishment as the consequence of anger." "For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." Isaiah 26:21 So, God's wrath is His punishment for man's injustice, or unrighteousness. If we choose the side of Justice, or Jesus Christ, then we have no reason to fear God's wrath. This is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The earth and its inhabitants will be judged, and God's wrath will be unleashed. This should be no surprise. Practically the entire Bible is about God's wrath against unrighteousness and wickedness. God's wrath is justified against the ungodly and unrighteous. Therefore, God is good, because His wrath is justified. We first saw God's justice and His wrath in Exodus during the passover, when the Jews marked the lintel of their doors with blood, so that God's Wrath, or the Destroyer, would pass over their homes. See my blog titled, The Demons Are Out, for more information about God's wrath and the Destroyer. Again, we saw God's wrath during the flood in Genesis 6, when all of mankind, except Noah and his family, were judged for unrighteousness, and faced the wrath of God, and all inhabitants of earth, except eight, were destroyed in the flood. The ritual of animal sacrifice in the Old Testament was also about God's wrath against injustice, or forgiveness for all unrighteousness of man, with Jesus Christ being the final blood sacrifice and forgiveness for sin. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was about God’s wrath against injustice and sexual immorality. The Old Testament wars against the Gentile nations were about God’s wrath against their injustice, idolatry and abominations. God did not choose sin and death for mankind. He did not choose wrath, but He did choose justice, or righteousness. Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind. If there were no sin, then there would be no reason or need for God's wrath against injustice, but once sin, or injustice, or unrighteousness, entered into the world, God's Wrath was the natural order of Justice: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness." Romans 1:18 Let's delve briefly into the movie, "The Matrix," where after being given a glimpse of reality, which is a world where man is literally enslaved in pods by artificial intelligence/machines, and reality is a lie, Neo (Keanu Reeves), is asked to choose the red pill or the blue pill, and told “You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill…you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Red pill / blue pill Right hand / left hand Blessed / cursed Matthew 25:33 "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Matthew 25:34 "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" Many times over the last few years I have questioned myself: Am I on the right side of God's line? Good or evil, God or Satan, and now, Justice or Wrath? Choosing God's side of the line does not mean just choosing not to kill unborn babies; that should be a no-brainer. Choosing God's side of the line does not mean just going to church every Sunday. Choosing God's side of the line means choosing Justice, which is righteousness. Not just with words but with action: Jesus said in Matthew 3:8, Change your lives and show by the way you live that you have changed. Show by the way you live that you have changed. Every aspect of the way we live should be devoted to God and Jesus Christ: The television we watch; books we read; music to which we listen; words we speak; thoughts we think; and our actions and deeds. This is God's Will for our lives. How do we free ourselves and others from enslavement to the world? By living in God's Light. By obeying the remainder of Matthew 25, which says if you have, then give to those who do not have. By fervent and unceasing prayer. By "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5. The definition of "imaginations," from dictionary.com: "the product of imagining a conception or mental creation, often a baseless or fanciful one." As in literally most television shows and movies, especially those that are exalted against the knowledge of God: sorcery, magic, evil spirits, adultery, lying, stealing, murder, covetousness, inordinate affection, blood, fornication. Let's face it, it is very difficult to find a television show or movie where fornication (premarital sex) is not the norm. Do not participate in these things; cast them down, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. No one knows God's Plan, nor each man's role in it. This could not be more plain than in the case of Herod Antipas, who divorced his wife to marry his brother's wife, Herodias. He is most famous for beheading John the Baptist at Herodias' bequest through her daughter, Salome. In Luke 13:32, Jesus calls Antipas a "fox," and in Revelation 2:13, the Spirit [Jesus] says to the angel of the church of Pergamos, "Antipas my faithful martyr." "Faithful" implying a devotion by Antipas to Jesus, Antipas who beheaded John the Baptist. We do not understand God's Plan, nor whom He chooses to use to fulfill it, but we are told not to judge, lest we be judged. We are told not to speak about things we do not understand. Jude 1:10 "But these men sneer at anything which they do not understand; and whatever they do know by [mere] instinct, like unreasoning and irrational beasts—by these things they are destroyed." What better proof do we need not to judge or sneer, to understand that we understand nothing without God's Word guiding us, than the story of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11. Revelation 11 9 "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies [the two witnesses] three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." We do not understand God's Plan, but what we do know, and can understand, is His Word, the Bible, which is His Plan for us here on Earth, his instruction manual for mankind. First and foremost, He tells us to love Him. Second, to love everyone, all people, as if they are us. On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets. Matthew 22:37-40 "And above all things have fervent charity [love] among yourselves: for charity [love] shall cover the multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 We, Christians, do not live by the law; we live by the blood of Jesus Christ, and the gospel of peace, which is love, forgiveness, mercy and compassion, and if we remember to love unselfishly and unconditionally, as Jesus loved, then we are followers of Christ Jesus, who came to give us that freedom. We do not know God's Plan fully, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect is come [Jesus], then that which is in part shall be done away." 1 Corinithians 13:9-10 If we have ears to hear and eyes to see, God's Word helps prepare us through His Justice for His Wrath to come against all injustice, or unrighteousness of men. 2 Corinthians 10:6 "And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:6, from biblehub.com: Quote: 6. Translate, "Having ourselves (that is, being) in readiness to exact punishment for all disobedience," &c. We have this in store for the disobedient: it will be brought into action in due time. when your obedience, &c.—He charitably assumes that most of the Corinthian Church will act obediently; therefore he says "YOUR obedience." But perhaps some will act otherwise; in order, therefore, to give all an opportunity of joining the obedient, he will not prematurely exact punishment, but wait until the full number of those gathered out to Christ has been "completed," and the remainder have been proved incorrigible. End Quote. God has not forsaken us, and He is not slow or late: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 Not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, because the alternative is everlasting destruction: 2 Thessalonians 1 8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;" Jesus is not coming to bring peace. He is coming to bring a sword of division between the righteous and the unrighteous. The Line is Drawn: Justice or Wrath. The truth will set us free, free to worship God Almighty, and shine our light in a perverse and evil generation of darkness. Be the light you want to see. Choose Justice. Choose God. Amen.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 A workman that needs not to be ashamed. Are we workmen that need to be ashamed? Or, that need not to be ashamed? If we think about it, Jesus gave us only two commandments: Love God with all of your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39. 1 John 4 20 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also." Everyone will stand before the judgment seat of Christ 2 Cor. 5:10 and every tongue will confess to God. Romans 14:11. Will we be ashamed of our love for, and service to, our fellow man, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ? Galatians 6:10 "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." Rightly dividing the word of truth 2 Timothy 2:15 above. The "word of truth" is God's Holy Word, the Bible, written for us, as instruction on how to live obedient lives full of blessings. Rightly dividing the word of truth is ministering the appropriate scripture at the appropriate time and moment, as needed. We cannot do that if we do not know the word of truth. We can only minister it if we Study it, to show ourselves approved unto God, 2 Timothy 2:15 above. Read the Bible, study it, memorize scripture, so you will be able to rightly divide it at the perfect moment. As Apostle Paul says, our joy will be in seeing our brothers and sisters standing with us beside our Lord, Jesus Christ, when He comes. Recently, I was told that I would go broke if I kept giving. After thinking and praying about it, Holy Spirit showed me that no one ever went broke from giving. Mother Teresa is quoted as saying, Give until it hurts. But scripture tells us that God is able to make all grace abound toward us so that we always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work 2 Cor. 9:8-11, so that it never hurts. So I say, Give until you think it will hurt, but it never hurts, because God is able to make all grace or favor abound toward us. Amen. Love your neighbor as yourself. The Rich Man Mark 10:17-27 17 "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lack: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." There are differing opinions on this scripture and what the "eye of a needle" meant. Some suggest that a "needle" was a small gate; others believe it actually referred to sewing needles, which were similar then to ours today. Either way, we can gather that it is an extremely difficult task. Who then can be saved? And Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible"! Amen. God is able. The rich man had done all that Jesus requires his whole life, save one thing. How many things are we lacking to be perfect, like Jesus? Give until it hurts, because it never hurts, give your time, your money, your love, always rightly dividing the word of truth, a workman that need not be ashamed. God is able to make all grace or favor abound toward you, so that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work. In love and light, and in Jesus' Mighty name. Amen. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6 verse 33
How do we seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness? We read His Word and obey Him. Holy Spirit has been putting this on my heart for the last few months, and I spoke at church about it in the last few months, I think, but this morning He showed me the "big picture." People, including me, have a tendency to read the Bible looking for the answers to life’s mysteries, or something specific we want to know, or maybe we want to understand completely every word as we read it, or perhaps we read only a verse or two per day. By doing these things, we can and do often overlook some of the greater mysteries and more important messages that God is trying to show us. God’s Word can be difficult to understand, right? People say, I don’t understand the Bible; it’s too confusing; it’s too difficult. I too have said these things, and frequently still do. Let’s face it, no one understands every word in the Bible. That’s why there are so many commentaries and opinions on so many passages, and these opinions can be helpful in understanding difficult passages, but God will provide the answers for which we are seeking, if we call unto Him. Amen. Jeremiah 33 verse 3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” God’s Word is alive; it is written for us. Call unto Him by praying and reading His Word. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10 verse 17 Reading the Bible is how God speaks to us; praying is how we speak to Him; praying in tongues is how we tell Him our heart’s desires, which only He can understand. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Or, hearing by reading the word of God. Amen! What I was/am really hungry for when reading the Bible are answers to the mysteries of His Word, and how do I activate His blessings in my life? How do I get Him to show me great and mighty things? Um, hello. Here’s your sign! The power of His Word, which is written for us. The power of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And, the power of His Holy Spirit inside of us. This morning, again in the twilight hours, Holy Spirit showed me that God, the Father of Lights in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning, wants all of us to read the Bible, His Holy Word, written for us, so we can find Him and activate His Blessings in our lives. Not only that but something I noticed over the last few years of reading the Bible almost every day faithfully is that the times when I did not read it as often as God wanted me to, I would get a pain in my shoulder. As soon as I started reading the Bible, the pain would go away. I never wrote about these experiences, because I thought I was crazy yet again, but I told my husband about them plenty, believe me. This morning, Holy Spirit showed me that many people in the churches have a nagging pain or ailment because God is waiting for us to read the Bible. Not a verse or two per day, chapters per day, from Genesis to Revelation. Pick up the Bible and read it, and see what happens. Not only might you see minor ailments and pains subside, but God is lifting the veil of blindness from hearts, and He has a lot to show us. So, even if we do not understand what we are reading, read it anyway; and, pray for understanding; and keep reading; and keep praying; and, God will show you great and mighty things. God Bless You.  These are words that God put on my heart when He first awakened me from being dead in Christ around 2019. He showed me some things about our world now, and what is to come. At the time, I didn’t even really know who Holy Spirit was, but I was beginning to know God; He made sure of that. God wants these words said now, to prepare His children for what is coming. Even so, come Lord. Amen. At the end of 2020, God made it clear to me that, Roe v. Wade will be overturned! Abortion will be abolished! When I posted that on social media, people responded with things like: You don’t know what you’re talking about; Roe can’t be quote overturned”; that’s not what it would be called; you don’t know the law; and, the worst, “abortion will never be abolished.” Well, they were right about one thing, I do not know the law, nor did I know the correct “legal” words to use, but God sure knew them, because that was the headline on the news: Roe v. Wade overturned! Hallelujah! Praise God. So, the really good news is that Abortion will be abolished, and that will be a great thing for the unborn babies. Amen and amen. The first part of God’s word to me, however, about Roe and abortion could be considered political and certainly controversial if we consider it from a worldly point of view. But let’s consider it from God’s point of view: Abortion will be abolished. Amen. So, the first part of the Roe and abortion word from God to me in 2020 was that “Trump Won! God Won!” Now, this was after the 2020 election, and I know Trump winning is not a victory to some, but it is to God. God has shown me that Trump is His man to abolish abortion. This is not about Trump; or me or you; it is about God’s children. Abortion will be abolished, and whom should God use for the task? None is righteous; no, not one. Romans 3 verse 17. Surely, God could have chosen someone more righteous than Paul to be Jesus’ apostle; Paul persecuted Christians before following Jesus. So, the morning of January 20, 2021, as I watched President Trump speak at his sendoff ceremony, I realized something: What God's prophets had meant in the previous months, when they said that God wanted all eyes on Him [God], all thoughts on Him, all hope and faith in Him, all GLORY to Him. After the 2020 election, I commented more than once, that it is literally Trump versus the World. And sometimes, as a second thought, I would give God credit, too. Of course, I was wrong. All Glory to God Always ... But, as I watched the sendoff speech, I began to cry, weep, lament, for I now understood that it has never been Trump versus the World, but always, God versus the World! THAT is what God wanted us to realize before His Plan could be fulfilled through, and in, us! So, as I listened to the speech, I was filled with sadness and began to cry for forgiveness and mercy, for myself, but, more importantly, for the World, for God's children, who have lost, or are losing, hope in a flesh and blood man, who cannot save us, who could never save us. Jesus Christ is our Savior, and no one except He can save us! Amen. "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1 verse 21 Some people say that abortion will never be abolished completely, and they are right, because there will always be evil until Jesus returns. But God’s Word will be fulfilled, and there is a time coming soon when the world will not be murdering 60 million babies per year. Again, God says, Brace for Impact. He is present in our lands, and the earth will shake when he walks. Cast off evil by putting on God’s armour of light: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13 verse 12 The armour of light is God’s Word, God’s Power, Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you. God Bless You.   This is something God put on my heart in 2021. At the time, I woke up, half awake, in the twilight, with great thanksgiving and praise and glory in my heart to our Heavenly Father. He was very excited in me, and was yelling,
GIVE THANKS! GIVE PRAISE! GIVE GLORY! Psalm 24 verses 8 through 10 8 "Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah." For our God is righteous and fierce. "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." Psalm 145 verse 17 "Thy fierce wrath goeth over me . . ." Psalm 88 verse 16 And I just kept feeling, as I lie there hearing over and over, GIVE THANKS! GIVE PRAISE! GIVE GLORY! people were kneeling all around, everywhere, up and down the streets, and bowing and cheering and celebrating, and giving THANKS! PRAISE! and GLORY! To our Heavenly Father, the creator of the heavens and the earth, in whose likeness and image we are ALL created, and by whom, we were bought with a heavy price, the blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so that we, wretched man, could be made whole in His perfection, and receive the gift of Everlasting Life! God will NOT be mocked, and He WILL receive His due THANKS! PRAISE! and GLORY! "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." Hebrews 13 verse 15 "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD." Psalm 150 verse 6 Remember the story of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, as he cried out to the God of Abraham in 2 Chronicles 20 verse 9, as the Ammonites and Moabites were threatening Jerusalem: "If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help." Jehoshaphat cried further, "O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12 And what did our God respond? 2 Chronicles 20 verses 15 through 18 15 "And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord." GIVING THANKS! GIVING PRAISE! GIVING GLORY! As in the days of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, God is fighting this battle for us, and we have already seen the proof that he has won. Now it is time to see the battle, to see what has been hidden in darkness. All will be revealed. About a week ago, I told my husband that God put on my heart, Brace for impact, and the following day, I heard a prophet say those exact words. Today, I tell you-all: Brace for impact. The world will be a different place when God is finished, a better place for God’s Children. Do not listen to the false prophets, who are the fake news, social(ism) media censorship, dishonest leaders (political and church). They cannot stand against Our God. Listen to God, and to His Word. His Word is the Truth! And, in this season of giving thanks, and always, let us give all Thanks to our GOD! Praise to our GOD! Glory to our GOD! Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:6 Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Lord, heal and restore Your children, our lands, our hearts. We pray for peace for Your children, the peace only You can give, the peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus' Mighty Name. God started putting this on my heart a couple of years ago, but it was not until around October 10, 2022, that He gave me the courage and/or conviction to begin writing it. Some things just have to be spoken. God said it is time to stand up and speak out. Around 2019, I learned that the doctor's Hippocratic Oath in the United States was changed in 1964: It no longer says, "Do No Harm." See article by clicking here. Excerpt from the new and revised Hippocratic Oath: "Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God." End quote. In this awesome responsibility to take a life, I must not play at God. Hate to burst their bubble, but taking a life is the epitome of playing at God. Let's look at the first paragraph of the original hippocratic oath, before "Do no harm" was removed: Excerpt: "I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, likewise Hygeia and Panacea, and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath, to the utmost of my power and judgment." End excerpt. Notice they are swearing by a whole bunch of gods and goddesses. Holy mackerel! Where is God, the Father? There is only One God, and one Lord, Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 8:6 Can you think of a reason they would want doctors to take a life? Only God can give or take a life. Not even Satan can take a man's life, but I can give you 60 million reasons they think they can! 60 million unborn babies sacrificed every year worldwide. 60,000,000. No matter what Satan plans, nothing ever goes exactly his way, because God's Will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. How much Satan is allowed to tempt us is dependent upon God's Will, but also on us, our choices, and how quickly we turn to God in repentance, praying for forgiveness, and forgiving others. Who knew that ceasing to pray for something before it is fulfilled is a sin? 1 Samuel 12:23 "Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:" Ceasing to pray for something before it is fulfilled is a sin against the Lord. This gives a whole new meaning to 1 Thessalonian 5:17, "pray without ceasing." For the last many decades years, a lot of people have been called "crazy," because they believed in some "conspiracy theories" that are now being proven to be true and not theories at all. For the most part, these things have not even been hidden by the people perpetrating them; everything "they" do is in plain sight, if we are looking, if we have eyes to see, if we care about the truth. Remember, the truth will set you free. John 8:32 One of those things is the modern-day worship of molech, the god of child sacrifice in the Bible. This is an uncomfortable subject about which to write, because it is so unbelievable that it is happening in the 21st century, right in front of us, that people literally do not believe it; even though they see the video, they will not believe. "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:31 These signs are for believers, to build up their faith, to know God is real, because His Biblical prophecies are coming to pass, being fulfilled; they are to encourage, not to defeat. As believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we see prophecies being fulfilled, and we know that Jesus is near, and that we will soon be with Him. God is here to save His children, and this should give His children peace, hope and a spirit of celebration. The following video came to my attention only a couple of days before October 10, 2022. I did not go looking for it; actually have never heard of the "Commonwealth Games" until I saw the video. Seventy-two (72) nations participated in the opening ceremony, which was officiated by "King" Charles, and the theme of which is "molech worship," child, baby, unborn baby, sacrifice. Two-thirds of the world watched the televised show. In. Plain. Sight. WARNING GRAPHIC: Evil from the pits of hell: "They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35
Sixty million unborn babies murdered per year worldwide in sacrifice to Molech. Not a conspiracy theory. Not even hidden. God save the babies. God save the world. Amen.  Mark 12 41 "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." God started putting this word on my heart about a week ago, but just today, when I was reading the Bible at Joel Chapter 1, He showed me what I was supposed to see about the word. Joel Chapter 1 has nothing to do with this word, but that is how God rolls in my life, that is how He speaks to me.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, in the blood covenant, and in Your Spirit inside of us. Thank you for making us doers and givers. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. So, in Satan's world, on earth, there are "needy" people, suffering, rejected, weary, because Satan tempted Adam and Eve, and they chose sin and death for mankind. But God gives to the "givers" so they have more to give to God's children. I mean, having needy people is not a good thing, but that is not God's fault, nor is it His plan or purpose for us. Having "givers" though is supposed to make it bearable, right? Right! But only if the givers actually give to those in need. Now, maybe breaking it down into the givers and the needy is a little harsh, but it is reality. God does not want man to be in need. He wants the givers to give, but Satan is real, and man has a choice. For the givers that do give, they will be given more to give. Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." God, the Father of Lights, created us, and He knows the end from the beginning, because He made it all, and it all exists and is held together by Him. Colossians 1 16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." verse 17 again: "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." What is the definition of consist? Below from dictionary.com: Quote: "to be made up or composed (usually followed by of): This cake consists mainly of sugar, flour, and butter. to be comprised or contained (usually followed by in):Her charm does not consist only in her beauty. Archaic. to exist together or be capable of existing together." End quote. So, God is it! He knows it all, the end from the beginning, because by Him all things are made up, composed, comprised, contained, existing together [as One]! As One, the body of Christ, One body with many members, and God as our head. Malachi 3 verse 18: "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Why did Jesus tell us to love our neighbor as ourself? Because they are us. We are One, in Christ: by Him all things consist, are One. Not just words! God's Word is alive, active and powerful, chock full of blessings and curses, and instructions on how to activate blessings and avoid curses, instructions on how to be like Jesus, and overcome this perverse generation, like Jesus overcame. Jesus came to serve: Matthew 20:28 "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].” "And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." Mark 9:35 Matthew 20 25 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them]. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].” Those who serve their fellow man now will be first in life everlasting. This flesh is temporary; this pain is temporary. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 Love your neighbor as yourself. Help the needy. Not just needy Christians, but especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. If we have the necessities, clothes, food, shelter, heat, and they have not, God's Word says to give. Amen. James 2 15 "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Even so, faith in God, believing in Christ, without works, without giving, is dead, as one who barely escapes through the fire, which is judgment. Finally, God tells us plainly about giving in Malachi 3: Malachi 3 8 "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts." Blessings and curses. Deuterononmy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" We have a choice. Choose blessings. Choose life. God further says that we mumble to ourselves, and say it is vain to serve Him. We say things out loud to question Him. We call the proud happy, and say that those that work wickedness lack nothing: Malachi 3 13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." When writing or speaking about tithing, I have quoted Malachi 3:8-11 more than once, but today, I read the remainder of the chapter again, and began to cry at verse 16. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving man. verse 16 "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." Wow! Where to start? So, first man questions if serving God is in vain, because the proud and wicked people seem to get richer and more powerful. "Then"! Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: Those of like mind started gathering together, as in church. "And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord," Satan has taught people well these days to fear nothing; even infiltrating churches and teaching God's children not to fear God. That is not what God's Word tells us: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13 And, not just one scripture, but Jesus also said, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28 Fear God, not man. The last part of Malachi 3 verse 16 says, "and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." In other words, Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. There is a scripture I read recently that I cannot remember or find - don't you hate that? It must have been in Ezekiel, maybe Daniel. It was about God's wrath to come, and how it would basically miss the people who were praising God or worshipping Him, like "don't touch them." I can't remember what it said exactly. If anyone knows this scripture, please comment and let me know. Thank you. Thank you. This word from God today is not a commercial, but I do feel that some who read it may need to start sowing into God's Word and giving, in order to start reaping blessings of abundance. So, solely with that in mind, following is a link to the "Give" page for our church: Living Waters Assembly of God - Give. There are also many great charities to which one can and should give, but whatever you do, do not let Satan kill, steal and destroy your blessings of abundance: Give; give often; give regularly; give generously; give joyfully; give until it hurts. Because God is our Provider! He knows what we need. He will not forsake us. All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen and amen. God bless you all.  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2 The Perfect Will of God. All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. A little background on this blog: In speaking to our Pastor, I told him that I need to bridle my tongue. He said, Oh ... well, James talks about that: Pastor David always has the right answer from God. God bless him. So, reading the Bible today, I started reading James 1 again, and found many enlightening passages. Let's look at verses 17 through 25: James 1 17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." There is a lot of good stuff packed in those eight verses. Let's break them down. Verse 17: God is good, and everything He created is perfect. Verse 18: "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth," His own will, His grace, because He wanted to, as a favor, because He loves us. He begat us with the word of truth: The word of truth is Jesus Christ: the word made flesh; the way, the truth, and the life. Verses 19 and 20: He is telling us to bridle our tongues, because as we know "the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:8. And, used in anger, "works not the righteousness of God." Let God's Will be done, not our own. Let God's words be spoken, not our own. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Amen. Verse 21: "and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." Meekness, humbleness, not proudness or arrogance. Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save our souls. "Engrafted." Now, there's a priceless word. It has only two possible definitions, from dictionary.com:
Jesus Christ, the word made flesh, the Word, God's Word, is engrafted into us, by surgery only God could perform, and is able to save our souls. Read His Word; it is alive! Verses 22 through 25: "Be doers"! Get out and do! Stand up. Speak out for God. Testify. Give. Help. Save. Serve. Be doers, not just hearers of His Word. "being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." Again, God tells us exactly how to receive His blessings: Be an active doer, not a forgetful hearer. Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for Your Word and the word made flesh, Jesus Christ. Fill us with Your Will, Your light and Your love, replace our stony hearts with hearts of flesh, and bless Your Children for being doers of Your work. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.  "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;" 1 Peter 2:9 Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for the Power of Your Word, Your Spirit in us, and the blood sacrifice of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, Powers that are specifically for us. Transform us into Your Glory, Lord. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. Around 2020, God told me, "If you touch the feet of a righteous person, they will be healed." Now, I was a baby Christian at the time, still am, but then I had only been studying God's Word for a year or so. Honestly, I didn't even know what "righteous" meant. Around that time, I looked at my husband and said, What does righteous mean? Are you righteous? Am I? A couple of years later, 2022, and I now know righteous to mean that we obey God, because if we obeyed God, then we would not sin, and we would be righteous. Around the same time, God gave me a vision of my husband and me participating in a tent revival, at which I was healing people. When I received this word and vision, we were not even attending a church. What on earth was I going to do with that information? Until we started attending our current church around August 2021, I had not told anyone about healing except my husband, and then our new pastor. Pastor David always has the right answer from God, and when I asked him what I am to do with this information, he said the Holy Spirit will tell you when the time is right and what to do. He was right! Almost a year later, and CalledOutOfDarkness.One Tent Revival Meetings came to our church, and set up a tent on the church property. My husband and I attended one of the two nights, and it was a very spiritual event, but the thought of healing, or the vision of healing in a tent, never crossed my mind, or may have crossed my mind, but not seriously. What did cross my mind was another vision I had after we started attending church: It was a tent revival at the church, with the parking lot full, and shuttles shuttling people back and forth, and I thought maybe the current tent revival was a precursor for those future tent meetings. This is so crazy. Our God is a supernatural God, right? A few months later, and a church member from the Called Out of Darkness tent meetings started attending our church, and asked me to go to another tent revival meeting in a couple of weeks. I agreed, but we failed to exchange phone numbers, and she did not come to church the next two Sundays. A few days or so before the tent revival, in my sleep, I was thinking, dreaming, having a vision, Oh well, I guess I don't have to go to the tent revival, because I'm not even sure if the person who invited me will be there. And, Holy Spirit said something that made me laugh in my dream, something like, What is wrong with you? You SHOULD GO to the tent revival meeting ANYWAY: I told you, you are going to heal. And, the light bulb went off, as it usually does, and still in my sleep, thinking to myself, I was like, Oh yeah, I should go anyway, and talk to the prayer leader about healing. Once we hear Holy Spirit speak clearly, our resolve to obey is deepened. So, I went to the tent meeting; the woman who invited me was not there, but I started talking to the prayer leader for the event, and told her that the Holy Spirit had moved me to heal, and really moved me to the event today. She said they usually vet people before letting them heal, which I understood; I told her what church I was from. She said she would let me help healing one of the tent meeting team members, who specifically had problems with her feet. So, we went up front in the tent, in front of the band, and three or four people placed hands on the person being healed, and I stooped down and touched both of her feet. The music was really loud; I don't know if it was louder because I was stooped down, but it was really loud. From the moment I touched her feet, it was like it was just her feet, not even her, just her feet, and Holy Spirit and me in the room, and the loud music, and Holy Spirit wanted to be heard above the music, and I started praying out loud in spirit, very loudly, in tongues. I don't know how else to describe it except it was loud; I could hear that it was loud. I suppose it could be called "fervent," or with intensity in spirit. It was a surreal experience, and when I was finished praying, it was like it never happened in my mind; like I had done nothing wrong; like no one heard me because no one was there. I stood up, and the prayer leader was smiling at me, and I smiled back at her. The person who was being healed was crying, and later, she hugged and thanked me. Praise God. It was not until literally three days later when I snapped out of the surreal feeling about the experience, and Holy Spirit told me that I was there that day, at that tent meeting, to heal that person, at that moment, in that very manner! Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. All glory to God, the Father, all glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.  Images above, left to right: Rosehips thorn bush; Virginia creeper vine; King Bolete wild mushroom. Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, and in the blood sacrifice of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Thank you that this Power is for us, Your Children. Let Your Words and Your Will always be ours, and let Your children see and hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. Sometimes it can take a minute or two, or year or two, to understand what God is telling us, or me, because as is often the case, I started writing this on August 4, 2022. Just today, I realized what God has been trying to tell me. Actually, He began showing me this through scripture and other videos about physics, which I first posted about a couple of years ago here at "God and Physics." So, I am a really slow learner. Forgive me, Lord. Many times I have written that God's Word is alive and powerful, but what about our own words? Just this morning, I began to realize what God has been showing or trying to show me, that our words are alive as well. Because God will never forsake us, and He promises to show us great and mighty things, He gave my husband and me examples this year of how our words create. I mean, I am sure there are many examples in our lives everyday, but these four were undeniable. Bear with me, because this may sound a little crazy, but our God is a supernatural God, right? So, supernatural can seem a little crazy if we do not have faith in God and His Word. Also, I do not believe in coincidences as much as I did before God was in my life. I saw a meme last year that said something like, Coincidences are God-inspired opportunities. Amen. So, the first three examples of our words creating that happened in our lives this year were concerning our yard, the front yard, a big ugly hill in the front of our house to be more precise. This hill could be called a proverbial thorn in our sides, which will seem funny in a moment. It is covered in useless vines that don't even flower; they just cover everything; and there is other equally useless stuff growing on the hill as well. Last year, I was thinking a lot about the hill; thinking about, and researching, what we could plant on it that may overtake and coverup the vines. Last year, I also became interested in medicinal and edible wild plants and weeds. I commented to my husband, Maybe we should put an edible bush with thorns; that seemed appropriate on a hill. One of the other things I talked about was a Clematis vine, or Virginia creeper, a ground cover vine, and especially the Virginia creeper, which turns red in the fall and the birds love the berries. I thought maybe it would cover the other vine, and the red on the hill would be pretty in the fall. Finally, I thought about and talked a lot about the Forsythia plant, which is the pretty, bright yellow bush we see everywhere in the spring/summer. All of that was in 2021, and in 2022, this spring, you can't even make this stuff up, the following three things started growing on the hill. Completely self-started. God-started! We did not plant anything on the hill, ever:
We have lived in this house for almost six years, and have never seen any of those growing on the hill! Rose hip berries are nutritious, medicinal, edible berries, which are concocted into syrups and used to make teas. As I was writing this, I researched again whether Virginia Creeper vine is edible or medicinal. It does have some uses in those areas, although only in extreme circumstances in my opinion, because it is known to be toxic to humans in some instances. The Virginia creeper vine, however, does attract a variety of birds, depending on your zone:
We have been feeding the birds for some time, and have talked frequently about what we could plant around the yard to attract more birds and bees. Our words are alive! Jesus says, By our words we shall be justified, and by our words we shall be condemned. Matthew 12:37 It only makes sense that this means now, in our lives on earth, we justify or condemn ourselves and our lives by our words: In other words, by our words, we create good things around us, love, peace, joy, abundance, et cetera, or we create bad things, strife, poverty, lack, unbelief, et cetera; we create all of these things in our lives with our words. And, in the end, when every knee will bow to Jesus, and every tongue confess to God, we will be justified and condemned by God, by our words as well. Romans 14:11 Especially since the LORD God tells us in Deuteronomy 30:19: "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Life and death. Blessing and cursing. Only two choices: Choose God or choose Satan. This is why God's Word tells us repeatedly to meditate on His Word, get it down inside of us, "Store it in our hearts so we do not sin against Him." Bring into captivity even our very thoughts to the obedience of Christ. So that our first choice is always God's Will, and Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life. So that we create blessings, not curses, around us now in this life, and in life everlasting. Amen. There are many times that I have said to my husband, Hey, I just said this yesterday, or recently, and look, here it is in the garden, or on television, or a video, or Pastor David talks about it in church that morning, right after I said it. I am sure if you think about it, you will realize the same in your life, or maybe you already have. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen. If not, then refer to the previous paragraph: Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The last thing I want to write about today are wild mushrooms. Last year, I became somewhat interested in wild mushrooms, watched a couple of videos about picking wild mushrooms, and then found some mushrooms in our yard, on a rotted tree. Subsequently, after researching them online, I determined that they were poisonous. And I commented out loud that it would be nice if they were not poisonous, and we talked about and researched how to grow mushrooms. I even bought a book on how to identify edible and poisonous wild mushrooms. Again, that was last year. This year, this fall, we had a whole patch of King Bolete wild mushrooms, which are apparently highly desired and sought after by wild mushroom connoisseurs. Now, that is four examples of our words creating in our life, which just came to me this morning. Do you see things like this in your life and know it is God, or do you just look at them as coincidences? Give all glory, praise, honor and thanksgiving to God, the Father, always. If we start having faith in God, the faith that can move mountains, then we will move mountains! The Impossible Rice Experiment
The time is at hand. Choose God! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. Let Your words and Your Will always be mine, and let Your children hear. In Jesus' Name. Amen. Why do some people hear from God and many others do not. I mean, it cannot be solely because some people read chapters of His Word everyday. Many people do that, and pray, and perform deeds, far greater than that. Well, everyone hears from Him if they read His Word and pray. Everyone hears from Him; not everyone listens to or obeys Him. Around the end of August, Prophet Julie Green said that she started hearing God when she got mad at all of the corruption and injustice happening, or something like that. The morning of September 1, 2022, God gave me two words: Righteous Indignation. God is having righteous indignation right now, and His Spirit is being poured out into His children, His warriors, His soldiers. What is righteous indignation? I really just love saying the words, righteous indignation. They have such a powerful ring to them, don't they? But what does it mean? It means righteous, or godly, anger at injustice. Christians are so afraid of being angry, or showing anger, because there is scripture that clearly says do not be angry, and do not even associate with angry people, but did you know Jesus said: Be angry but sin not!? Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" So, get angry at injustice; turn over the tables of the money changers in the temples. Be ye angry at the injustice against God's children, and by God's children. Stand up and speak out, but find peace in Jesus Christ, repent and pray for fogiveness, before you go to sleep. God does not tell us things to intimidate or scare His children; they are said for our benefit, so we know what is coming, and can prepare ourselves. God is our Savior, and no one but He can save us. Get into His Word, and know Him, hear Him, listen to Him, obey Him! He will tell us what to do; what He tells one may differ from what He tells another; He knows what we need. Listen to Him. Everything we need to know is in God's Word; read His Word. Jesus said at Matthew 10:27, "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." Amen. What is Jesus telling you in the darkness? What are you hearing in the ear? In Ephesians 5:11, Apostle Paul tells us, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” "Reprove" from dictionary.com means to criticize or correct, especially gently, and/or to disapprove of strongly. Righteous indignation. Before continuing, I want to point out that merriam-webster.com used to be my go-to dictionary until merriam-webster made an ill-fated decision to start changing definitions to suit demonic abominations, such as abortion. This year, I commented on a rumble.com video about Roe v. Wade, and then got into a chat with someone about abortion, the Constitution, and God. You can read that blog titled, "Delight God Today," by clicking here. So, in this chat, the other person wrote that basically morals are a matter of perspective. And, they had quoted the definition for a "parasite," implying that an embryo and/or fetus were parasites, which is many pro-choicers' preferred go-to when discussing abortion. Of course, until now, their claim did not hold water, because Science proved long ago that a parasite feeds off of, and potentially harms, its host "of a different species," which clearly does not refer to an embryo or a fetus, which are of the same species as their host: human. Sometime in the last year, however, merriam-webster has apparently decided that it knows more than Science, and has changed the definition of "parasite"; it no longer includes the words, "of a different species." Now! pro-abortionists have something to back up their claims! Now, they can label an embryo and/or fetus as a parasite, and show the merriam-webster.com definition to back it up. It is passed time for Christians, or anyone with an ounce of morals, to have some Righteous Indignation. Jesus said, "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16 So, it is time for Christians to get hot for Jesus, to hear God, listen to Him, and obey Him. He is calling His warriors to stand up and speak out with God's Righteous Indignation. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." We already know what reprove means. Let's look at "rebuke." Again, from dictionary.com: to express sharp, stern disapproval of; reprove; reprimand. So, reprove and rebuke mean basically the same thing, except rebuke is solely on the stern side. Since we have looked at those two, let's finish it up and see what "exhort" means as well: From dictionary.com: Exhort: to urge, advise, or caution earnestly; admonish urgently. This means that Christians should be criticizing, correcting gently, if appropriate and received, but if not, disapproving strongly, sharply and sternly, urging, advising, and/or cautioning earnestly, and admonishing urgently, all unfruitful works of darkness. This is a difficult word to write, but something God has been piecing together for me since the beginning of 2021, with my first blog on the subject in March 2021, titled "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," Click here for Part 1 on this word, and here for Part 2. If the following information presented is true, then truly only God can save the world. Amen. The first two items below, Elon Musk, and mRNA covid vaccines from the CDC website, have been around for awhile. I first saw them about a year ago. Following is a video of Elon Musk saying you can turn someone into a butterfly with mRNA: When I mentioned this to a family member, who is a Christian, their reply was, I wouldn't mind being a butterfly, or something to that effect. My reply back was something like, Why? God created you perfect the way you are! Of course, they immediately replied with, "joking," or some such thing.
Our words are alive, and God is listening! Jesus said, "By your words you shall be justified; and by your words you shall be condemned." Matthew 12:37 Click here for a link to the CDC.gov page that shows that mRNA is in covid vaccines. Just recently, this week, I stumbled upon the video below from rumble.com about the 144,000 in Revelation 7, and the number of the beast, and the number of a man, in Revelation 13:18. Everything is in plain sight. "They" don't even try to hide their abominations. Before you watch the short videos below, know that God has said through His prophets that nothing they have planned will go as "they" have planned; it is not yet their time. He has also said that we will see undeniable miracles, miraculous healings and births, signs and wonders from Jesus Christ. Amen. Click here to watch the short video from rumble.com about the mRNA covid vaccines, and God's 144,000 in Rev. 7, and the number of the beast in Rev. 13:18: To recap the video: The human genome is 144,000 genes, 72,000 each from mother and father. mRNA in the covid vaccines changes, or can change - I'm no expert, but none of it can be good - It changes the human genome to 216,000 genes, instead of our God-given 144,000 genes; it literally turns the double-helix strand of the human genome into a triple-helix strand. As told in Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Count the number . . . Six hundred threescore and six; or, 600 times 60 times 6; or, 6 6 6, "the number of the beast," "the number of a man"; or, 600x60x6 equals 216,000 genes. No longer human; now called "transhuman." No longer God's creation. Click here to watch a short video from rumble.com of yuval harari, false prophet to globalist elite klaus schwab, saying the new, changed genome is the way of the future: "humans are now hackable" mRNA is in the covid vaccines; Elon Musk says you can turn someone into a butterfly with mRNA; false prophet yuval harari says, "humans are now hackable." People will be lining up for it! It is Biblical! Prophets have said, and Holy Spirit has shown me, that we are in a time of refreshing now: Acts 3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." The presence of the Lord is here now; times of refreshing are here now. Every day. We must repent to God, tell Him we turn away from the sin in our lives, even if we do not know or think that we have sinned, and that we turn to Him, in full surrender and obedience to His Will. And, pray for forgiveness of our sins. Every day. Click here to see my blog titled, "Overcomers," about repentance and forgiveness. God will not overlook sin. But God . . . But God gives us a way out. Reach out and grab it before it is too late. That way is His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the way, the truth and the life. The time is at hand for . . . God's Righteous Indignation. Stand up and speak out. Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. Let Your words always be mine, and let Your children hear them. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. Before I get into the subject of today's word, I wanted to talk about God's Prophet Isaiah. For me, Isaiah's prophetic words in the Book of Isaiah became all the more profound and meaningful when I learned that Isaiah came into his calling as a prophet when he prophesied the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, some 700 years before Christ's birth! Simply amazing. In Isaiah 50:4 above, we learn that the words we speak about God to the unbelievers, the downtrodden, the oppressed, the poor in the spirit, the "weary," come from God, and that He speaks to us in the morning, and wakens our ears to hear Him, like one being taught, the "learned." Hallelujah! Praise God. Isaiah Chapter 50, the entire chapter, is about the LORD providing "comfort to desponding saints and terror to presuming sinners" (from biblestudytools.com, Matthew Henry commentary). What does that mean: comfort to desponding saints and terror to presuming sinners? Well, "desponding" means losing hope, so "desponding saints" are believers, us, who are losing hope, as many are today. And, "presuming sinners," like the Pharisees whom Jesus admonished in Matthew 23:28 "Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity." And, why did the Pharisees appear outwardly righteous? Because Jesus said, "This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honours me with their lips; but their heart is far from me." Matthew 15:8 In other words, the Pharisees were like Cain, who thought he could climb into heaven some other way than through the door. Jesus said in John 10:1 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." See my blog titled, Cain and Abel by clicking here. We should walk the walk, not just talk the talk. We should be like Jesus, and walk the walk like Jesus, if we want to be "overcomers," like Jesus. As often happens, I did not know how this was going to tie into the word I am writing about from Holy Spirit today until I typed the previous paragraph. One of the main ways we become overcomers like Jesus is by listening to God. Amen. On September 21, 2022, around 3 to 5 am, still asleep, Holy Spirit showed me why He tries to speak to us in the early morning, the wee hours, in our sleep if He has to, because that is when we are the most sinless, guiltless, righteous. How many of us, in our sleep, make grand plans of things we want to do around the house? Or, in life? Or, maybe even how we want to serve God? a ministry we want to start? And, then, we wake up, and the reality of who we are sets in, who we have become in this life. Fear sets in. Satan sets in. And, then, we start talking ourselves out of it. We hear Satan there in the background, whispering in our ear, You can’t do that; you don’t even know where to start with something like that; no one will help you; it’s a lot of work; that’s not who you are; you have too many responsibilities already; you can just serve God another way. Man has a sinful nature, courtesy of Adam, Eve and the serpent in the garden of Eden. We must combat this sinful nature every day; we must resist Satan every day and he will flee from us. James 4:7 Amen. God forgives us for the sins for which we ask Him to forgive us. If, then, we have a sinful nature, it stands to reason we must repent to God, turn away from sin, and pray for forgiveness, every day. This is why it is important to have God’s Word stored in our hearts. The more God’s Word is stored in our hearts, the more second-nature it becomes to us, and the less the devil will be successful in tempting us every day, so the less he will come around, and the less he will steal our blessings through our disobedience to God. Amen. In 1 Corinthians 15, Apostle Paul wrote that he dies every day. How could he die every day? Because we have a sinful nature. Yes, we have God’s Spirit, God’s Word, and the blood of Jesus Christ, by which we strive to become more like Jesus on a daily basis, to overcome this sinful flesh and sinful, evil world, as Jesus overcame, but we are still human, and we still have a sinful, human nature; God’s forgiveness does not remove our sinful, human nature. 1 Corinthians 15:31 from the Amplified Bible “I assure you, believers, by the pride which I have in you in [your union with] Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily [I face death and die to self]. “ There are many ways we can sin against God written about in His Word. Our lukewarm-to-cold society and churches have caused people to sin by teaching that because we believe in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can do whatever we please and are forgiven. No. This is a fallacy, an untruth, an outright lie, not supported by God’s Word. To the contrary though, it is not that now we can do whatever we please, but because we have the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, now we no longer desire to do those sinful things we used to do. Amen. One of the greatest sins exhibited in God's Word is pride in oneself, to which Apostle Paul is referring in 1 Corinthians 15:31: Because he had pride in [himself] for bringing these unbelievers in Corinth to Christ, and he is saying he sins every day and dies because of that pride. Of course, Christ is the only one who can save us. Not Apostle Paul, right? We also see the sin of pride at work in the book of Esther, where Haman’s self-pride got him executed on the guillotine that he had built specifically for Mordecai the Jew to die on, because Mordecai would not bow down to him as commanded by the king. Because of Haman's pride in himself, and being unable to let Mordecai's perceived slight against him go unanswered, Haman was instead hung on the guillotine, and Mordecai, a humble servant to God, took his place, and became king Ahasuerus’ second in command. So, there are many ways a man can sin against God every day, and we can only combat those sins with His Word and prayer. Amen. In Job 33, Elihu, the only friend of the four who spoke to Job, who was not rebuked by God, is basically telling Job to stop complaining against God; that God speaks but no one listens. Job 33 from the Amplified Bible, starting at verse 13, Elihu says to Job: 13 “Why do you complain against Him? That He does not answer [you with] all His doings. 14 For God speaks once, And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job]. 15 In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice], When deep sleep falls on men While slumbering upon the bed, 16 Then He opens the ears of men And seals their instruction, 17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep him from pride;” God speaks once, even twice, and no one listens. It doesn’t say, Maybe He speaks. It says, He speaks. He opens our ears and seals our instruction, so He can turn us aside from our conduct: our thoughts, words and actions, and keep us from self-pride, or thinking we are better than our neighbor. God seals our instruction in the wee hours of sleep, and then we wake up, and Satan’s lifetime of training kicks in: sickness, fear, doubt, unbelief. How many of us feel persecuted sometimes? Maybe even on a daily basis. Oppressed, beaten down, sad - persecuted, as if we are guilty of something, of which we have no earthly clue? If we ever do feel that way, we should immediately go into prayer with God: repent of our sins, cry out to Him, tell Him that we turn away from our sins, and that we surrender in full obedience to Him. Pray for forgiveness. Ask for His Will to be done in our lives. And watch the oppression and/or sadness leave us. Amen. Something the Holy Spirit wants us all to think about is, Have we sinned today? If your answer was "no," that you have not sinned today, then we should refer to scripture: “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10. And, 1 John 1:10 “ If we say that we have not sinned, we make [God] a liar, and his word is not in us.” If we do not know that we are sinners, then God's word is not in us, because we have not read it. Amen. So, we are all sinners; there is none righteous! Now, ask yourself, have you repented to God of your sins and prayed for forgiveness today? Holy Spirit showed me that this is where we, believers, are falling short. The Holy Spirit cannot come into an unclean vessel. Amen. THIS is why He speaks to us in the wee hours of the morning, when we are most righteous, or free of sin and guilt, before our mind wakes up and starts having sinful, human thoughts. 1 Peter 2:5 “You [believers], [you believers, that’s us, everyone who believes in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ]- you believers, like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. To offer spiritual sacrifices means to offer ourselves to God through our prayers, fervently, without ceasing, to sacrifice ourselves, surrender our will to God's Will, in full obedience, by offering our sacrifice of praise to God continually. Hebrews 13 15 "By him [Jesus Christ] therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." Excerpt from biblehub.com, Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Peter 2:5: Quote: "Whereas, before, only Aaron’s sons were recognised as mediators and intercessors, now all Israel, all the spiritual Israel, all men everywhere are called to be mediators and intercessors between each other and God." End quote. We, believers, are now the mediators and intercessors between each other and God. Amen. 1 Peter 2:6 “For this is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, a precious (honored) Cornerstone, And he who believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will never be disappointed [in his expectations]. 7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe [in Him as God’s only Son—the Source of salvation]; but for those who disbelieve, “The [very] stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief Cornerstone,” 8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” In other words, the unbelievers reject Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone, and He is the only one that can save them. Sadly, the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, so to the unbelievers, He is a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, a stumbling block. Their path to heaven is crooked, not straight. Every day when we wake up, the effects that our past sins have caused in our lives, Satan has caused in our lives, sickness, fear, doubt, unbelief, are there waiting for us, waiting for us to think about over and over again, or maybe even to repeat again and again. That is our sinful, human nature. Now, again, if we have asked Him, God has already forgiven us of those past sins, and once God has forgiven a sin, it is forgotten to Him. Satan, however, LOVES to dwell in the past, right? If Satan can keep us in our past, keep us thinking about our past sins, then we cannot bring into captivity every thought to obedience of Christ, and we cannot move forward in our Victory in Christ Jesus, and Satan knows that better than anyone. We combat the power of our sinful nature, and Satan’s influence in our daily lives, with God’s Power, His Word, which tells us, among many other things, to pray fervently, without ceasing. And, more importantly, because our sinful nature is ever present, to turn to God in repentance and pray for forgiveness every day, for the sins we commit every day, mostly unknowingly and/or unwittingly, or involuntarily, in our thoughts. In Genesis 3, we see how Satan operates: Genesis 3:1 “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.” The serpent was more subtil than any beast. Let’s see what “subtle” means, from Dictionary.com: “subtil” (subtle): cunning, wily, crafty And, the definition of “cunning”: skill employed in a shrewd or sly manner, as in deceiving. And, the definition of “wily” (wiles): a trick, artifice, or stratagem meant to fool, trap, or entice. Yikes. And, the definition of “crafty”: skillful in underhand or evil schemes; cunning; deceitful; sly. THAT is Satan! Subtle, cunning, wily and underhanded. So, “. . . the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan. . . “ uses trickery to ensnare or deceive us, all the while evading our grasp or pursuit, and, to top it off, he is really good at it. Satan’s sole desire is to drive a wedge between God and His Chosen, and he will take a man’s lifetime to do it if he must. At Genesis 3:15, we see that Satan is not able to kill us: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” So, we can bruise Satan’s head, but he can only bruise our heel. Satan is under our feet, to be stepped on, trampled on. We should stomp on Satan every day, with prayer and God's Word. Amen. Some translations have it as “crush Satan’s head.” Personally, I prefer that translation: We can kill Satan in our lives; remember, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Satan cannot kill us; he can only tempt us, with worldly, material things, and evil, fleshly vices, such as sexual immorality, or fornication. Satan can bruise our heel, and keep us from walking for, or serving, God. Amen. 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Amen and amen. Satan is only able to tempt us with these worldly things, and he is able to tempt us only so much, because God will not allow us to be tempted more than we can withstand: Our God is amazing and good - all the time. Amen. So, God is moulding us, and we need to let the pieces that Satan has defined as us fall off. Literally, we need to tell Satan to, Get behind us, or better yet, get under our feet, so we can bruise or crush his head. Satan is down at our feet, under our feet; and, we are up in the clouds with Jesus Christ. Amen. We only have two choices of whom to follow in this short life; if we do not choose God, then we are following Satan. There is no gray area. Make no mistake, Satan is trying to groom each and every one of us, and our children as well. If we are not protected by God’s Word, and prayer, then we will not know sin when Satan puts it in front of us. We need to make our first response to Satan's temptation, Godly. Amen. So, my hope and prayer is that we all begin to listen to God’s Word, and pray fervently without ceasing. Repent, surrender to God, and pray every day for forgiveness of our sinful human nature. Start talking to God. I personally pray any time throughout the day, out loud, just walking around the house, or working in the yard. If I’m working on something, I’ll just say, Lord, protect my tomatoes, or we really could use some rain today, Lord, please, if it is Your Will, not my own, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Or, if it gets really windy outside, do as Jesus did, and say, Calm, peace be to you wind, in Jesus’ Name, and watch what happens. Something else along those lines happened to us this summer: We had removed some vines that were growing up the fence in our front yard. Apparently, we unknowingly destroyed a Robin’s nest. Poor thing; she put one of her eggs in a flower pot I had sitting in the driveway, pretty little blue eggs, and the other not far away. We felt so bad. The next day, I was sitting at the computer and I heard this loud racket like something was attacking the house, first at one corner and then the other, and I just knew it was the Robin. I didn’t see her, but I knew it was her. She was angry because we destroyed her home, so she wanted to destroy ours, I guess. I don’t think she could have done much damage to the eaves, but the noise it was making was loud and frightening and intimidating. The first thing that came to my mind was Jesus - thank you, Jesus - so I threw my hands up in the air, and cried out loudly, We didn’t do it on purpose: Peace be to you, robin, calm! In Jesus’ Name. Amen. And, the noise stopped. You can’t make this stuff up. I heard one tiny noise like far away after that, but it stopped, just like that. Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. We just noticed the other day that she built a nest on top of the garage door opener. Poor thing was so confused. So, God’s Word is alive, and written for us. There is power in prayer. There is power in God’s Word. These powers are for us. Jesus said we will do even greater things than He did. If we have faith. If we believe in Him. Amen. Our prayers do not have to be specific or elaborate. God is not judging us on our grammar. Meditation on His Word, prayer and worship can, and should, be done all day long, every day. When asked by His apostles how to pray, Jesus replied, pray in this manner: Matthew 6:9, the Lord’s Prayer. “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Memorize the Lord’s Prayer; pray it often throughout the day; and eventually you will move into a closer relationship with God, and the words will come more easily. If we prayed just this prayer every day, as instructed by jesus, we would be repenting and asking for forgiveness each time. Amen. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: THAT is surrendering to God, repenting, which means to turn away from [sin], and turn to God. Amen. When I first started praying a few years ago, I prayed the Lord's Prayer every day, many times per day, in my head usually, not necessarily out loud, but standing in the kitchen, driving, watching TV, lying in bed, whatever I was doing. When I first started praying it, I could not complete the prayer without worldly thoughts creeping into my head while I was praying, and I would start over from the beginning repeatedly so that I could complete it without interruption. Eventually, I could finish it all at once without other thoughts interrupting. This is called meditation. Repeating something over and over to yourself, until those worldly thoughts no longer creep in, until you can repeat the whole prayer in your head without interruption. This is bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ: when you can think about His Word above all other thoughts. It is possible. Bring Him into your life, into your thoughts, into your jobs, your cars, everywhere, through specific petition and urgent supplication, which simply means specific and urgent prayer, fervently and without ceasing. “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14 We need to begin to resist the devil and he will flee from us. We resist him by meditating on God’s Word, repenting, and praying for forgiveness. We become "overcomers" when the Holy Spirit has a clean vessel in which to enter. "God speaks once, twice, and no one listens." Be an overcomer today. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.   Yesterday, Labor Day, I was looking at rumble.com, and I noticed that my "rumbles," which are the same as "likes" and "dislikes" on other social media platforms, my "rumbles" were exactly 2,222. I thought it was interesting, and showed my husband, and thought no more of it. Then, we went out to eat, and to Wal-Mart. Our grocery bill was exactly 222 and change. Now . . . it is starting to get my attention. When we got in the car, I told my husband, half jokingly, that we should play the lottery with 222 and 2222. Yes, I am not perfect, and my mind and thoughts still jump to worldly things. Forgive me, Lord. This is why it so important to have God's Word hidden in your heart, so you do not sin against Him. Psalm 119:11 Later, after we got home, I was checking my email, and there was an email from a prophet that I haven't seen in quite some time. So, I read the email, and God told him to help people move to a new level in their lives in God by sowing seeds into the prophet's training center. By now, you can probably guess how much of a donation he was asking for. Drum roll please . . . $222. You cannot make this stuff up! Now, just a week or two before, God had told me to donate $100, and I was still trying to accomplish that. I had tried at a couple of sites that oddly would not go through, and then this happened with 222. So, let's all strive to be like Jesus: Love your neighbor as yourself, as Jesus loved, with unselfish concern. Do unto others as you would have done to you. And, most importantly, give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over . . . Luke 6:30 As I was finishing this blog up, and looking for an image to put at the top, I wondered what, if any, significance there was to the numbers 2222 and/or 222. Following is an excerpt from biblestudy.org. This website says, among other things, that "The overall meaning of multiple number twos (e.g. 222, 2222, 2:22, and so on) is somewhat unclear in Scripture. They are related, however, to not only the creation of Eve and the first marriage but also to Jesus' return to earth! They additionally reveal how rewards will be distributed upon entering the kingdom of heaven and how we must deal with temptation." The website goes on to say further: Quote: Multiple number twos: "One of Jesus' greatest, yet often misunderstood, use of symbolism is found in Matthew 18. He warns, in verses 8 and 9 of the chapter, that it is better to lose a hand, foot or eye than to have two hands, two feet or two eyes (222) condemn us. Since sin is generated out of thoughts and choices (Matthew 15:18-19), the Lord is not condoning self-mutilation as a way of dealing with sin but rather admonishing us to decisively deal with the temptations that lead to it. Jesus, in Matthew 25's parable of the talents, uses 222 in verse 22 to teach an important lesson about those who enter God's kingdom. And the one who had received two talents also came to him and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; see, I have gained two other talents besides them' (Matthew 25:22). The man who received two talents doubled his master's money just like the person who got five talents (Matthew 25:16). The Lord rewarded both men equally, showing that he judges and rewards fairly based on what a person does with what he is given (verses 21, 23). Lastly, Jesus uses the example of two men in bed, two women grinding, and two men in a field (222) to warn that many people will be arrested and killed prior to his return to earth (Luke 17:34-36, see also verse 37)." End quote. I have a feeling that this word from God is not yet finished, but I was so excited about how He works in our lives, I could not wait to share it! This is in line with God's words to me: The Millennial Reign, Seventy Years, and others. God truly works in mysterious ways. How does He work in your life? Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen  I did not think to screenshot the "rumbles" on my account until September 8, and by now, the rumbles are up from 2,222 to 2,269, but I wanted to post this screenshot anyway. See next image below from our bank account that shows we spent $222.43 at Wal-Mart on September 6.  And, finally, a screenshot of the email I received the same day, asking for a $222 donation.   Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. I pray that all of Your children return to you in obedience, change our hearts, and show by the way we live that we have changed. Matthew 3:8. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. As I was reading the Bible on August 22, 2022, at the book of Ruth, God showed me how the story of Ruth is a comparison to our redemption through Christ. He showed me later, more importantly, how our obedience leads to said redemption. Ruth 4 7 "Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. 8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day." So, Boaz redeemed Ruth, as was the custom of the time. I did a little research and found an article at corechristianity.com. Following is an excerpt from that article, titled: BOAZ’S REDEMPTION OF RUTH LOOKS FORWARD TO OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST "Boaz redeems Ruth in chapter 4:7-10. According to the Law of Moses (Leviticus 25) a relative was to act as a redeemer for any family member who was destitute, widowed or living in poverty. The redeemer would buy back property that person had lost in time of need, so it would be kept in the family. If they were sold into slavery, the redeemer would buy back his freedom. Boaz becomes Ruth’s redeemer. He gets her out of poverty, provides for her, buys back Elimelech’s land and marries Ruth, providing an heir for Elimelech’s line. She is redeemed from poverty to abundance and from hopelessness to a bright future. This is a picture of how Christ redeems us. Where we were meant to face God’s just punishment for our own sins, trusting in Christ, that punishment has been borne by him. He paid our debt of sin on the cross. Ephesians 1:7 says, 'In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.' In Christ, we’ve been redeemed from being slaves to sin and from facing God’s wrath to being forgiven in him, knowing his grace and peace. Like Ruth, we’ve been redeemed from spiritual poverty into Christ’s abundant life and from hopelessness and death to true hope and life that is eternal. This gift is ours out of no doing of our own, sheer grace!" End quote. Not only that, as I was finishing this up today, September 1, 2022, I realized the comparison of Ruth to the story of Jesus goes even further. Think about it. Naomi was Jesus in the story. Ruth 1 16 "And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee [Naomi], or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me." So, Ruth followed Naomi, just like the people followed Jesus. Ruth did not want to go back to her family; she was completely committed to Naomi, even vowing to die if anything parted her and Naomi, and accepting Naomi's (Jesus') God as her own God. Hallelujah! Amen. Also, yes, Ruth was redeemed by Boaz as was customary, but why was she really redeemed? Because she was obedient to Naomi. Naomi told her to go glean the leftover grain in the fields, and Ruth obeyed. Naomi told her to lie at the feet of Boaz, and Ruth obeyed. Ruth followed Naomi, was devoted and obedient to her, and she was redeemed. If we follow Jesus, and are obedient to God, we will be redeemed as well. Finally, because you literally cannot make this stuff up, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is actually descended from Boaz and Ruth, as shown in the generation of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1 below! God truly works in mysterious ways. Matthew 1 1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king;" Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  "And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing." Isaiah 23:18 Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for Your Word, and your words through me. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus's Mighty Name. Amen.
This morning, as I was reading Judges 9, about how Abimelech, son of Gideon and one of his concubines, killed the seventy other sons of Gideon, and made himself king, God revealed to me that America HAS been under a veil, as I heard prophet Robin Bullock say last year. America, and its people, have been under a veil of blindness for seventy years, from 1952 to 2022. See Isaiah 23:15-18 Here is what happened in 1952, exactly seventy years ago, from onthisday.com:
Queen Elizabeth being included in this list will not now be understood by many, but soon will be understood by all. 1952, seventy years ago, Big Bang theory proposed. It just occurred to me as I was writing that, that I wrote about the Big Bang Theory recently, on July 27, 2022. Click here: God vs. The Big Bang Not this morning, nor since I wrote the July 27 blog, have I even searched for, or seen, anything on the Big Bang Theory; in my mind, the subject was over. But, God will not be denied! In the last few years, I have written at least once that God turned His back on us because we removed Him from our schools in the 60s, among other reasons. As you can see, however, from what happened on April 1, 1952, seventy years ago, the proposal of the Big Bang Theory planted the seed for removing God from our lives completely, not just our schools! "Ivy Mike," the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design . . . War or Peace. The phrase, There is BIG money in war, has been rattling around in my head lately, and I did not understand the full meaning until a few days ago when God put in my path a 3.5 hour video titled, From JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick. See video on rumble.com by clicking here. Also, I realized as I was rereading this blog, that the last three in the list above were so the elites could control our soul, our mind, and our body. Think about it: body, mind and soul (war, computers and God). Now, I was not going to write this blog when I saw the video. The fact that I even clicked the video to watch it was incredible; my attention span for things such as this is like 10 minutes tops, certainly not 3.5 hours. I watched only about 1.5 hours of the video, and decided I had seen enough. Like I say, if God has a word to be said, it will be said. You can get the gist of the movie by watching just 45 minutes to an hour. So, after watching only 1.5 hours of the video several days ago, and reading chapters and chapters of God's Word since then, God has taken me full circle, back to the video, so I must share it! WAR IS BIG MONEY! And, apparently, war has to be perpetuated for all of eternity, so that the billionaires can remain wealthy. Seventy years ago, "Ivy Mike," a deadly weapon, was created, but as we can see from babyboomers.com below, that was just the beginning of the War Machine in 1952: On this day in 1952, from babyboomers.com:
Yes, a Republican won in 1952: Eisenhower. It seems the prevalence of corruption stemmed from both parties at least as far back as seventy years, although I do not believe that Eisenhower knew exactly what he was getting into when he agreed to run for president. This can be borne out in his subsequent farewell address in January 1961 below. Except from history.com: "In his [Eisenhower's] speech, he spoke of the dangers inherent in what he called the 'military-industrial complex.' Due to the combination of national defense needs with advances in technology, he warned, a partnership between the military establishment and big business threatened to exert an undue influence on the course of the American government. His warnings would go unheeded, however, amid the ongoing tensions of the Cold War era." End quote. Tensions of the Cold War era, which the "military-industrial complex' created! This, of course, proves the crux of the video above, JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick: War is perpetuated to keep the wealthy, wealthy, and the War Machine well-oiled. Those involved in the scheming will do anything at all, including murdering the masses by starting wars, to maintain the status quo, and hide from the world what they have done and are doing. The god of this world did indeed put a veil over America, Americans, and the world, so the light of the glorious gospel of Christ could not shine through. 2 Cor. 4:4. But God, the Father, has heard our cries, and He is removing the veil, so that all can see the Truth, if only for a moment. We can feel the revival in our land. Christians are waking up en masse to the Power of Jesus Christ inside of them. Unbelievers are flocking in droves to hear God's Word and feel His presence. Many will be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and many will be cast into outer darkness forever. Isaiah 23 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord. Celebrate! Victory is ours saith the Lord. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  AMEN!  I found this image amusing after reading parts of our government's (NASA specifically) comical theory on man's creation (see link to article below): The Big Bang, and some make-believe inflationary theory, off of which their entire Big Bang theory rests. I challenge anyone to read the entire article, if you can. This article is representative of the corrupt politicians today: Nonsensical: But this, but that, he said, she said, and if, if, if. Never accepting the obvious: But, God! God sits on his throne and laughs at them. Amen. Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, like the stars in heaven, in whom there is no shadow of turning, like the sun, thank you thank you thank you for our many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for the sun, the moon and the stars. Thank you for the signs and seasons. The rainbow. And, the rain. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. I guess God wants me to talk about His wonders on Earth, because yesterday I posted about His rainbow, and, today, He wants me to post about His constellations. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." Genesis 1:16 "[God] which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south." Job 9:9 "Can you bring forth Mazzaroth [possibly, the 12 signs of the Zodiac] in his season? or can you guide Arcturus [the bear constellation] with his sons?" Job 38:32 like God? Can you do any of that? Of course not. Did a big explosion create intelligent design like the constellations? Probably, but just not the way "they" want us to believe. Here is our illustrious government's opinion on our creation, at least the NASA arm of our government: NASA Science: "The Big Bang: (click here for article) One interesting correlation to the Bible I see in the above article is a reference to "deuterium," which apparently is an "isotope of hydrogen." Hydrogen comes from water. What did God create on the fifth day of creation, in the Book of Deuteronomy? Water: the sea, and all sea life. It is almost as if NASA knows it was God who created the heavens, earth and universe, but they do not want to give Him credit. They are blinded by the ruler of this world. I heard Prophet Julie Green say recently that God is getting ready to remove their blinders for a moment, so they can see clearly on which side they stand, good or evil, and make an informed choice. I pray all of God's chosen choose God. Also, another problem with NASA's big bang theory is that it is based entirely, or in large part, on Einstein's theory of relativity, which most scientists now agree is wrong, or at the least, inadequate. Admittedly, I am not learned, or a novice even, in evolution, the big bang theory, or Einstein's theory of relativity, but I am somewhat learned on God and His Word. Even during my darkest days, when I did not know God, and when I denounced Him openly to anyone who would listen, never did I consider evolution or the big bang theory. Why? Because I always knew there was a higher power, a source of all things, and even though I did not specifically call it God, nonetheless I did believe. So, I was lying in bed this morning thinking, as I usually do; this is the time when God often speaks to me, and He did not disappoint this morning. This morning, God said, "If the world was created by mere evolution, or a mere explosion in the universe, then whom, may I ask, created the constellations? Did nature create artwork in the universe? No, I think not. I set the stars in the sky to form the constellations, for signs and seasons, lights on earth, for man, and as an habitation for the angels." God, the Father of Lights, is the creator of the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them. Satan is a liar, and the father of lies. He would love for us to believe that we evolved from fish in the sea, or apes even, or that we magically appeared when some big, unexplained, explosion occurred in the universe. I did not read every word of the above article, but in what I did read, I saw nothing that explained the formation of God's artwork in heaven named the constellations. Coincidence, i.e., the coincidental creation of the constellations? Nope. Coincidences are God-inspired, if you believe in God! Ironically, I do believe there was probably a big explosion that started creation, but it was an explosion of God's Spirit pouring down on earth in Genesis 1. Without God's Spirit, heaven, earth, and all the host of them, including man, are nothing. God is the cohesive force that holds it all together! "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist [reside, live]." Colossians 1:17 Or, the Amplified Version: "And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]" Guess what? God's Spirit is pouring down on earth again, right now. Can you feel it? Do you receive it? How can you tell if you feel it or receive it? Well, it makes you want to fight for God. Be a warrior today! Denounce evil! And, as Jesus said, Defeat evil by doing good! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Peace and blessings, Melanie PS. Also, I would like to point out that this subject is not something that has been on my mind, or that I have been studying, or even read about recently in the Bible. It is just something God wanted spoken today. Praise God. Amen.  Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning, thank you for Your Word, and thank you for Your words through me. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. What does a rainbow represent to you? Do you have a rainbow flag, or any other rainbow fodder lying around the house, or in your yard/garden? Or, have you been intimidated, for lack of a better word, into not recognizing rainbows, except in the sky? What does the rainbow represent to God? Unlike Jesus' comment that the Sabbath was made for man, man was not made for the Sabbath, the rainbow was made for man; man was not made for the rainbow! The rainbow was God's covenant with mankind that He would never again flood the Earth. God said, When He sees the rainbow, it will remind him of this covenant. I was listening to Robin Bullock this morning, and it reminded me how sad it is that many Christians, me included, have let the LGBT community hijack God's rainbow, God's promise to mankind. God did not create the rainbow to glorify the LGBT community. I love rainbows! I think it is time we take back the rainbow, in Jesus' Mighty Name! We are in the 21st Century Exodus, and it is time to plunder our enemies, and take back what is ours. To be clear, our enemies are not the LGBT community. Our enemies are in the spiritual realm; this is a spiritual war: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 How do we plunder the spiritual realm? Apostle Paul gives us an idea: 2 Cor. 10 4 "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" For the weapons of our [Christians] warfare are not carnal [manmade, fleshly]. Our weapons are reading God's Word, the Bible, which is how He talks to us; and, praying without ceasing, which is how we talk to Him. I started writing about "God's Rainbow" on July 23, 2022, because honestly I was irked that the demons in the LGBT community have hijacked the rainbow, and I wanted to take it back (and still do). I never posted the July 23 "God's Rainbow" blog because I never finished it. Of course, now I know why I never finished it, because God was not yet finished with His word on the subject. So, I never posted the rainbow blog, but on July 24, 2022, I posted a blog titled "Delight God Today," which you can read by clicking here. This blog is about an online chat I had with someone I do not know on rumble.com about abortion and God. It was not until today, July 26, 2022, that I realized the crux of what God was trying to get through to me, which is that the world is ungodly. Yes, right, I know. Everyone knows that, but does everyone really understand it? What do Christians get from God? We get many things: love, light, peace, hope, mercy, grace, compassion, understanding, wisdom, abundance, the promise of eternal life, blessings, and more. But, what God has shown me in this scenario is that what we get, the one thing that sets us apart from the animals really, is morals: knowing the difference between right and wrong; a moral compass, without which . . . well, without which men have nothing but evil thoughts in their hearts continually, as God said, and as can be seen in my July 24 chat on rumble.com (link above), where crazysquirrelusa admits they use aborted baby parts (components) in many industries; and, says that morals, right and wrong, good and evil, are matters of perspective, and asks what right is it of mine to question the murder of unborn babies? Remember, God was removed from our schools in the 60s; not long after, abortion became legal. Since then, it has been a rapid spiral downward into satanism in our movies, video games, music, schools, news, social media, even commercials. Everything flooding us with the ungodly. I read somewhere that only 13% of children today know who God is, compared to 58% in the 60s, when they removed Him from our schools. It is no surprise that many Christians feel like the odd ball out, because it seems as though everyone around us is cheering for evil: cheating, lying, murdering, stealing; cheering and celebrating, and we are on the outside looking in, wondering how on earth we could be the only sane people on earth? This is what Satan wants us to see and believe; this is Satan's reality, not God's, and Satan's reality is collapsing. Praise God. Amen. Something else I want to point out is that this journey with God's Rainbow began on July 23 and ended on July 26, three days later. Was I in some kind of hell for three days, trying to understand what God was telling me? I do not believe that the three days is a coincidence, as this is not the first time He has given me a word over a three-day period. Click here and here to see additional words from God to me over three days. So, the world is in darkness, blinded by the ruler of this world, Satan. The world needs us, God's Children, God's Light. God has chosen us for this very day, to shine, shine, shine, and to make the world shine! As I have written previously, Christians are the 2.5 billion batteries in God's (flash)light. God is coming back! Back to our schools! Back to our hearts! Back to our homes! Back to the world! Teach God's moral compass to the world! Jesus said, What I tell you in the darkness, shout it from the housetops. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  As I have written before, in 2019, God called me to be a warrior for the unborn babies. Since Satan groomed me most of my Life to be a recluse (a topic for another blog), the best way I knew to fight abortion at the time was on social(ism) media: Facebook and Twitter, specifically in replying to hateful, evil comments on posts. Although I am no longer on facebook or twitter, I still comment occasionally on rumble.com. Recently, I am seeing a lot more ungodly comments, denouncing God even. If these ungodly, satanic platforms are going to continue to operate, then they really need to see God's Word as well. The following is not a typical conversation about abortion. crazysquirrelusa is actually reasonably civilized compared to most of the conversations I have with pro-choicers. Even though it is not typical, it is a good representation of the ungodliness abounding on these social(ism) media platforms. This conversation took place today, July 24, 2022. You can see from the screenshots below that AtomicCracker started the conversation, followed by crazysquirrelusa, and then me, FaithfulLambs:         End of that conversation for now. I am sure crazysquirrelusa will have more to say. God called me to be a Warrior! Has He called you? Are you listening? “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Isaiah 66:4 Delight God today, for tomorrow is not promised.
