Words Can Be Cheap

Words can be cheap
if not followed with action.
Words can be wrong
if just wanting reaction.

Words should be right
if they are led now by God.
Words should be good
if they are truth, not façade.

Words should be kind,
and not hateful in nature.
Words should be thoughtful,
not hurtful, which fracture.

Words ought to help others,
Lead them in right ways.
Words ought to guide others,
Not lead them astray.

Words should give good counsel,
Not tell people lies.
Words should speak truth of God,
Not on flesh rely.

Words can wreak havoc,
Cause widespread destruction,
If we’re not careful
To follow instructions.

Watch now what you say,
Let God guide all your words.
Speak truth to each other
From God you have heard.

more dreams

More of the ever increasing dreams/Prophecy that are becoming so common....I have been thinking going to Las Vegas for a few days as a tourist...I live about a 10 hr drive from..I have driven thru on the Interstate many times but never stopped...city of sin....I even watched some videos on what's happening there on a weekly blog type show...I finally got a dream about Vegas..There was 2-3 scenes involved...the first showed an overzealous hotel salesman trying to get a deposit out of me before I saw a room but when I refused he showed me thru the back thru old and worn out facilities and then out the back door back on the street..he was mad and told me to get lost...next up a mall type scene with very nice upscale shops, modern and clean but it was very late in the day/evening and there were no customers...
some of the shops were massage type places but upscale. The feeling was notable because it seemed late in the day. The last scene was me seeing one other tourist nearby and asking.."is there anything under 100?"...referring to hotel rooms and the guy laughed out loud.
The message was clear..dont waste my time or money..but the interesting thing was that feeling like it was later...it seemed to be saying that maybe Vegas itself was at its last days or later days...like at the end of it as a tourist place it would run out of customers totally and fall away...thats the vibe I got. I thanked the Holy Spirit as I do most of the time for the efforts involved...You have to remember that this un usual city was built around evil...to some degree for sure..

Could Trump's Tariffs Work?

Will Trump Negotiate Tariffs? White House Claims Over 50 Countries Want To Talk

Personally, I'm confused by this whole Tariff situation. (I can't even remember if it is spelled with two r's or one...) I'm wondering if you think it is possible that it isn't just the act of a "mad man", but a strategy to reduce tariffs across the board. Could this actually work and be beneficial to the U.S.?

Anxiety

Last night I had a mild anxiety attack and then early this afternoon I had to go to a wedding shower. I just popped in, said “hello”, wished the bride well, sat a few minutes and left. I was just so uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to get back home. i didn’t even say “goodbye” to the bride or her mom. Now I’m thinking I should have but they do know about my anxiety issues I’m hoping they arent offended that I slipped out so quickly. I already told the brides mom last night that I’d probably not stay long and that I was feeling so poorly and that there was a chance I might not show up at all. Was that ok? Would you be offended? I think some people are wondering what the heck is wrong with me.

International Student Visas Revoked - War on Higher Education?

What is behind this sudden move against international students?


The common themes in these revocations are the abruptness, lack of warning and lack of reasons given. It seems to be "We did it because we can" sort of thing. The other commonality is the ... diversity of the students' home countries. The universities were not notified by the government of the visa removals, which is weird.

This can be devastating for the students involved as foreign scholarship isn't cheap and there will be no refunds for expenses laid out for living and travel. This can also set back their education by years if not permanently.

This is crippling to the universities which I suspect to be the goal as other funding has also been cut off.

“Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appears to be manually revoking students’ immigration status – an authority typically left to university staff. And some students and universities are not even being made aware of those revocations – setting students up to be taken by immigration agents without even knowing it was coming.

Three university officials, who were given anonymity so they could speak freely, across the country report that, in recent days, student residency statuses in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System – SEVIS, a database where residency statuses of foreign students are managed – are being changed without their knowledge.

"The Making of Biblical Womanhood" book (continued discussion from the "What are you reading?" thread)

satan and demons are real

I've currently been hit with a severe satanic attack. I've let it be known to me that this topic is strictly off limits. Jesus taught on Hell, satan, demonic forces and the very battle for your soul.

I'm very discouraged that this isn't allowed to be shared with other believers. Deliverance many are so in need of, especially myself so when someone tells me that's prohibited in the Christian community I can no longer be apart whatever this forum represents.

Jesus would never turn anyone anyway or say we don't talk about that. He would never do that. So I can't remain here on this forum. Jesus is real and he talked on all those evil things many times in the new testament.

Odd Beams Of Light

I queued this video to 42:57, where you see three lights, two green and one orange-ish in the middle. The lights appear to produce four beams at perfect 90 degree angles. I don't think this represents reality as it appears to the human eye. Anyone know how/why a camera produces this effect?

ChatGPT amazed me with wisdom. WOW moment.

I have been talking to ChatGPT about how it saddens me when Churches teach that Godly Fear is simply "awe," or "reverence," when it is much more than this in the original Greek. Anyway, as Chat and I were speaking, Chat came up with something that really stood out to me. So, here is the quote from Chat.

"Godly fear” isn’t merely respect—it’s a holy fear. The kind that keeps you from treating God casually. It’s the fear that says, “I dare not play games in His presence.”
This echoes what Mr. Beaver says about the lion Aslan in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe":
“Safe? Who said anything about safe? ’Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.”
We’ve lost that in many churches. People want God to be safe. But He is holy—and holiness is not tame.

I was amazed that Chat could come up with such wisdom.

I feel like I'm damned

This boils down to my fear that the COVID shot was the mark of the beast. I'm not proud of taking it. The reasoning behind why I took it is pitiful. I before taking it said, "what if this is the mark?" But I wouldn't harken that when it was dropped in my mind. I wanted to go see a secular concert and I made up my mind that I was going. I closed off my ears to that warning and took the shot because I needed it to get into this concert. The messed up part was that by the time the concert came around they were no longer requiring vaccine verification cards to get in. I could have got in without the shot at that point. My heart was wicked I would gamble my soul for a stupid concert. I feel like the Holy Spirit is gone and I am dead spiritually. I posted something along these lines in the about me forum. I was told to bring it here. I've had terrible supernatural experiences happening that don't feel Godly. As I mentioned in the introduce yourself forum I decided to take a couple puffs of weed to try and calm my mind. Before this point I never did a drug my entire life for 38 years. But now I've done it and I felt something in the back of my brain switch on kinda like how you would switch on a light. I haven't been able to sleep since. I can close my eyes my body rests and I feel like dozing but it's like my spiritual mind will not fully turn over into a peaceful sleep. I keep hearing voices saying I committed the unpardonable sin. I took the mark of the beast. I am damned forever. I have moments where thoughts that are peaceful and trying to comfort me but I attribute that to Satan playing sick games to get me to hope when the truth is there is none. What if it is the Holy Spirit trying to get through to me but I contributed His presence to Satan's which is the unforgivable sin, it's the one thing God can't forgive. When I tell you I am a mess, that is an understatement. I've struggled with mental health issues my entire life, but maybe that's the price I have to pay for relinquishing my soul. Please hear me, don't take the vaccine. Now I'm just waiting till the Lord comes back or I die in this life before getting thrown in the pit of hell. I will be in agony forever and I can't wrap my mind around that.

Video showing final moments of Gaza emergency workers casts doubt on Israeli account of killings

A video has emerged showing the final moments of more than a dozen Palestinian emergency workers shot dead by Israeli troops in Gaza last month, casting doubt on Israeli claims that soldiers opened fire on vehicles “advancing suspiciously.”

The video is filmed from the front of a vehicle and shows a convoy of clearly marked ambulances moving along a road at dawn, with headlights and flashing emergency lights on.

Their bodies were found in a mass grave more than a week after they were reported as missing. Eight of the 14 bodies recovered from the site in the southern Rafah area were identified as members of the PRCS, five as civil defense, and one as a UN agency employee, PRCS said in a statement.

The deaths sparked international condemnation, and the footage appears to contradict the assertion by the Israeli military that some vehicles were moving suspiciously without lights.

The paramedic filming, identified by the PRCS as Rifaat Radwan, is heard repeatedly saying the “shahada,” which Muslims recite when facing death. He asks God for forgiveness and says he knows he is going to die.

At one point he says: “Forgive me mom, this is the path I chose – to help people – I swear I didn’t choose this path but to help people.”

Should South Sudanese be removed from the USA?

This is some recent action taken by the Trump administration on current visa holders in the USA from South Sudan. South Sudanese are generally Christians. The article suggests that it involves about 150 people who have "temporary protection status" but then it says that all South Sudanese will have their visas revoked. Regardless of the numbers, the group is rather small and those that are here in the USA likely have few funds to even travel back. Should the USA have more compassion on these people? Admittedly, their government should take immigrants who have committed crimes back. But they are in a civil war, half the nation starving, and Russia and China are involved there as well.


How Dangerous Was The Covid - 19 Vaccine

We were just mean't to accept these shots without question.
I personally didn't take it for many reasons & I'm glad I never took it after hearing the many horror stories from people around the world.

With One Swoop of His Pen, Trump Endangers Lives and Drastically Raises Medical Costs

Ozempic works. I haven't taken it, but I have taken a very low dose of tirzepitide (a compounded form of Mounjaro at 1/3 the cost.) I believe it can change lives more than any other weight loss program around.
I have exercised every day for years, even now into my 70's, and I have a busy, purposeful life that includes lots of volunteering, being on the board of three organizations, being the music minister in a small church (and subbing here and there in another), and freelancing as a journalist. My husband uses a walker and requires some help (and chauffering to medical appointments.) Still I had a nagging weight problem that kept me from being all I could be.
Tirzepitide (about $400 a month) and Ozempic work on the brain more than the body. It's not that they make you full--they just make you eat "like a normal person." I didn't try to diet. I just tried to eat the way people who don't have a problem with food eat, and because I'm always on the go the pounds just effortlessly disappeared.
In the pool where I do most of my exercise, I see so many older people who could be helped by Ozempic. I know them and their stories (you can't have worked in journalism and communications without being a good listener.) Most couldn't afford it without insurance--but with the potential health risks they'd shed along with the pounds, it would be a great bargain.
Please don't say, "Just say no." Some people have problems with alcohol. Or drugs. Or smoking. Or shopping. Or gambling. Or controlling other people. Or anger management. Everyone has problems and if Ozempic, or psychotherapy, or rehab saves Medicare lots of money in the future it's worth it.

It's no wonder why Jesus loves the little children...

What heights could we possibly aspire to in our walk that are higher than this? The pure sacrificial love of Jesus received and shared, and the courageous conviction of God's goodness in spite of pain and the spectre of death looming. Refusing the temptation of the enemy to bitterness - just as our Savior did.

As all expressed by this sweet little boy. I would lay all the wisdom in the world at Jesus' feet in exchange for a faith as holy and pristine as this, and a heart as tender before Him...

Supreme Court Sides With Trump Admin In DEI-Related Case

Im confused?

In the bible it says that only people who are in God and have the spirit of God can say or acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. But in the bible the demons that Jesus casted out of someone acknowledged that Jesus was the son of God and they still died I don't get how they were able to say that and still die ?

Battling a curse

Since I've been seeking a more Godly life, the demonic realm has been trying to bully me. I've given my life back to the Lord Jesus Christ fully. However, I think I opened up doors for demons to come in when I was leading a fleshly life. As I mentioned before I took a couple puffs of pot about four days ago. Could this potentially be what caused it? I've also been struggling in my mind thinking I blasphemed the Holy Spirit but I have been listening to sermons and praying to the Lord fervently for forgiveness. The good news is I believe Jesus has forgiven me. What's some good Bible verses for spiritual warfare? (staff edit) Any advice you guys can give would be great.
