Hello, to all!

So I have been battling hell by the acre… I find it extremely difficult to gain control of my own thoughts. I have overcome alcohol and drug addiction with God’s help but He seems to have gone silent on me. I’m scared God is mad at me and won’t have fellowship with me till I get a certain sin out of my life. For some bazaar reason I can’t kick self-Harm… The preacher at the church I attended Sunday made me give him my knives. I did that and I’m suppose to be trying to make the week without self-Harming. Well I went to town today, I walked in the gas station and ran into some friends I use to hang with. What was the odds they would be wearing knives and showing them off? I walked out and sat in my car…. But eventually gave in and drove to the store and bought me 2 new case knives. I FAILED!!! AGAIN!!! That’s pretty much how it’s been for me. I try to stop and always find an excuse to continue… I’m weak!!! I feel embarrassed to say I am self-harming at my age. I feel like it’s generally for younger kids. I’ll be 20 in April… oh how I would love to have this behind me by then!!! Anyway, I am just so worried God is angry at me…

forgive me for blabbering so much. I’m just a bit down! I’m so tired of fighting.. When I was getting off of alcohol and dope I just locked myself in my bedroom and went through hell on earth. This is different I can’t lock myself up and solve it. I am my own enemy. I’ll use anything handy when I feel I have to …razor knife blades, scissors, lighters and etc… whatever will do the job..

Do you think God is angry at me?
I pray and pray for him to help me change but nothing seems to be happening..

I also have a very nice young fella that I like and he likes me. I have told him what I am dealing with and he is very understanding ( he is going to seminary school to be a pastor). I have withdrawn myself from engaging in any kind of relationship with him till I get my act together. He said I am The girl God has picked for him and He will wait no matter how long it takes. It’s bothering me that he is waiting and I am by no means close to where I need to be. I feel like I’ll never be wife material… And To be honest I’m scared of having a relationship with anybody, I don’t want anymore problems!!! After seeing my mom and dad’s relationship it’s scary.

Anyway, that’s a little bit off my mind ….

Thanks-Little Sister

Chip manufacturing plants, touted as a Biden success, are running into obstacles.( The New York times also covered this.)

What say you all? Did the Indiana Department of Child Services do the right thing, or not?

Jesus will return in Glory and Power in Sept of 2040. The days of Adam began in 3890 BC with Isaac born in 1910 BC, with the Exodus in 1479 BC. With the crossing of the Jordan in 1440 BC. With Solomon's Temple dedicated in 950 BC. With the destruction of that Temple in 530 BC. With the Resurrection of our Lord in 31 AD, and with the coming of the 121st Jubilee in Sept of 2040.

The intervals above are consistent with Jubilees and there are only 120 Jubilees given to the dominion of Man (Genesis 6:3). Time is short.

Hundreds of United Methodist Churches lose insurance, struggle to find new policy​

Reed said there are around 300 United Methodist Churches within the Rio Texas Conference. Reed told KXAN that until recently, the conference had a single policy plan for all of its churches, with the same provider for generations.

Church Mutual Insurance Company statement:

Labor and material costs have increased significantly in recent years, which impacts insurers’ costs to repair and rebuild to settle claims. Changing weather patterns have increased the frequency and severity of catastrophic weather events, leading to huge losses for the insurance industry. According to NOAA, in 2023, the U.S. experienced a record breaking 28 major weather-related disasters, causing an estimated total of $92.9 billion in damages. This was the fourth consecutive year there have been 18 or more separate billion-dollar disasters, creating a consistent pattern of large catastrophic weather events becoming the new normal.

• Every year, individuals with ties to different extreme causes and movements kill people in the United States; the ADL Center on Extremism (COE) tracks these murders. Extremists regularly commit murders in the service of their ideology, to further a group or gang they may belong to, or even while engaging in traditional, non-ideological criminal activities.
• In 2023, domestic extremists killed at least 17 people in the U.S., in seven separate incidents. This represents a sharp decrease from the 27 extremist-related murders ADL has documented for 2022—which itself was a decrease from the 35 identified in 2021.
• All the extremist-related murders in 2023 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with 15 of the 17 killings involving perpetrators or accomplices with white supremacist connections. This is the second year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings.

Extremist murder statistics from recent years reveal a clear trend: from a high during the years 2015 and 2016, the number of extremist-related killings in the United States has generally been decreasing in the years since then. One of the primary reasons for this decline lies in the reason numbers in 2015 and 2016 were so high: in the mid-2010s, extremist murders were committed by a variety of different types of extremists, including right-wing extremists such as white supremacists and anti-government extremists, left-wing extremists such as Black nationalists, and domestic Islamist extremists. Moreover, extremists from all these sources conducted mass shooting attacks in the mid-2010s. As a result, the total casualty numbers were particularly high for those years. However, since then, murders committed by left-wing extremists and domestic Islamist extremists have dropped substantially. In the past five years, for example, left-wing extremists have been involved in only three killings, and domestic Islamist extremists have participated in only one. In other words, the extremist murders of recent years have overwhelmingly been committed by far-right extremists.

Here are two of the more neutral/careful articles about the situation.

16-year-old Owasso student laid to rest after unexpected death​

*There are conflicting comments on Benedict's gender identity and pronouns. Out of respect for the victim, 2 News avoided gendered language outside of quotes from friends and family. The full name, Dagny Benedict, is being used limitedly because that's how the family and obituary identified the victim.*

The Owasso Police Department said they were called to Bailey Medical Center by the teenager's parent on Feb. 7 around 3 p.m. When officers arrived, Benedict's parent told them their child was involved in a fight at the school, according to police. OPD said no fight was reported to them before the teen's parent told them.

2 News got the tip about the fight from a woman who claimed to be the mother of the victim's best friend. We spoke with her on Feb. 9.

"I think complications from brain trauma, head trauma, is what caused it," she said.

The woman said three older girls were beating the victim and her daughter in the girl's bathroom.

"I know at one point, one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating her head across the floor," she said.

That's when she said a teacher walked in and broke it up.

Update: Owasso police interviewing school staff, students regarding local teen’s death​

Owasso police say they are interviewing school staff and students regarding the recent death of a local student who reportedly identified as nonbinary.

After consulting with investigators, the district released information about the incident, including that all involved walked under their own power to the nurse's office and assistant principal's office. Through district protocol, it was determined an ambulance was not required; however, it was recommended that one of those involved seek further medical care.

When I was going to the LCMS church nearby I had a lot of questions for my pastor, many of which weren’t answered to my satisfaction. One question was about creation. During a meeting with my then-pastor he turned the tables on me and asked what I believe happened. I said that I believed God caused the Big Bang and evolution occurred guided by God. I’m paraphrasing here, but that is my belief.

The LCMS reject evolution and they believe the same as what I’d heard on a video on Creation.com. They believe what the Bible says, literally. Man was created, fully formed, as was the Universe. They say there are only two possibilities……that God created everything fully formed like the Bible says, or there was a Big Bang and we and the Universe evolved without God, which they reject.

Why do so many people reject the third option…..that God caused the Big Bang and evolution did occur under God’s guidance? From conversations I’ve had with priests and things I’ve read on Catholic Answers, the third option is acceptable for a Catholic to believe. It is, isn’t it?
I will say in defense of the LCMS that they do accept microevolution, I think, just not macroevolution.

Controversy erupted surrounding the funeral of transgender activist Cecilia Gentili, which was hosted at St. Patrick Cathedral in New York City. Roughly a thousand mourners turned out for the memorial for the former sex worker, who had battled sexual abuse, addiction and homelessness.

Gentili was raised a Catholic in Argentina but was described as an atheist by the New York Times, but Gentili had been engaging more with Christianity in recent years. During the funeral service — which was initially planned to be a Mass but changed course during the liturgy to exclude the celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist — a friend of Gentili’s prayed for access to gender-affirming health care from the pulpit. Another individual described Gentili during remarks in Spanish as “esta puta, esta gran puta, la Santa Cecilia, la madre de todas las putas … danos la fuerza y el coraje” (“this harlot, this grand harlot, St. Cecilia, the mother of all harlots … give us strength and courage”). Also, during the funeral, a performer sang “Ave Maria,” changing the lyrics to “Ave Cecilia.” The singer then danced up and down the aisles, while twirling red scarves.

Catholics have been outraged by the funeral.


“The Cathedral only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way,” said Rev. Enrique Salvo, the rector of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in a statement. A Mass of Reparation has been offered, as directed by Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York.

So what are we to make of all this?

A baptized Catholic​

When Jesus was being tempted in the desert, He was told to cast Himself down from a pinnacle and angels would come and save Him. Why would He need the angels, Himself being God?
Matthew 4: 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Just took my sister from her professional residence as she has MS, to the hospital due to infection that somehow has enter her bloodstream. She is a great sister, and was diagnosed to late with MS to get much medical help. The saddest thing for me is I honestly see this as my fault, with my warp view of God I see my sister being punish because God is angry at me. Please pray especially for her health but also what little sanity I have left as my view of God is getting very dark. But my sister is miserable where she is now, not the hospital but the home as she had a nice saving but in just about 3 months they are close to bleeding her dry. Hopefully before she leaves the hospital somehow, someway she can get a transfer approved.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why God would desire that we know that Jesus did not Baptize during the below event?

John 4:1-2 KJV - 1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

What is the lesson to be gained, here?

The son of Hamas’ founder,Mosab Hassan Yousef, who became a spy for Israel, and also converted to Christianity, says that virtually all Palestinian
children are indoctrinated into a world of hate and murderous desires.

To desire to kill all those who don’t share their faith. And maybe be martyred to the approval and praise of their parents.

Like so many other Muslims around the world, they also are immersed in a belief system that causes them to want to kill not just Jews, but Christians and Americans in general.

It seems to me that most Americans are not really paying attention to the ever-growing threat from Muslim countries.

I ask for prayers for protection for those the Muslims want to destroy. And for their little children to somehow learn to love and not to hate. To want to embrace life and not destroy it.
And to one day embrace the Lord, as “the son of Hamas” did.

So late in November 1982 around Thanksgiving being religious but not knowing Christ as I I attended a small Christian School called Abundant Life Christian School in Junction City KS, I meet a than young man Jerry Skinner at Calvary Baptist Church. The nerve of this guy who told me, I was a sinner who needed Jesus Christ, I made a false confession of faith knowing within myself I was just as good as anybody.
For the next four months I study the Bible to find proof I was good enough, and even though I willfully ignore obvious verses of my need for Christ Jesus. The Spirit spoke to me, through the one sin that just was so obvious to me. So April 1 1983 I call to the Father. It is not a sin I have ever been proud of but always knew something was wrong with me because of this sin. So you can see how low I really am in my own eyes I will even tell this sin which lead me to asked the Father to saved me from myself with the Precious Blood of Christ, I Peter 1:18-19, Hebrews 13:20-21. The sin which help me to ask for the Blood of Jesus but now so easily cripples my walk with God is porn. Porn has brought to my own eyes how low i am. At least before I came to Christ and my first 3 years with Christ I had hope with the opposite sex on and off dating. But ever since then i am so low only way is to look for this wicked sin for pleasure as instead of a major dude when it comes to women I happen to be will just take the e off dude. Writing this as shortly will be going to work, and my plans later will be to find this pleasure wicked as it maybe. How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer who so easily gives up to this lowly sin, Ephesians 2:10? How am i not one of bad seeds of Mark 8:6-7; 13-14?

Proverbs 17 Select Verses


We, as followers of Jesus Christ, should not be those who entertain lies and what is contrary to God’s word and to the teachings of the Scriptures. We should not willfully listen to those who speak wickedly, who speak what is evil, who practice telling lies, and/or to those who twist the Scriptures to their advantage in order to continue living in sin. And we should not listen to vulgarity and anything that is mocking or making light of the Scriptures and the divine character of God. And we should not engage in gossip, either.

Now, in order for us to know the lies which are being spread, we do have to listen to or read what people are saying, to a point. For how can we refute the lies of the enemy if we do not know what the lies are that are being said? But that is not the same as us entertaining the lies in our minds and hearts and us listening with a desire to engage ourselves in the lies. But another way of looking at this is that what we might preconceive as lies may not be lies at all, but may be the truth but that we were taught were lies.

So, what am I saying here? Sometimes we get brainwashed to believe that the lies are the truth and that the truth is the lie and so we automatically reject certain things without even considering if what is being said is actually true or not. Now some things should be obvious, but not everything is, for we were all brought up believing things a certain way, and many have had their beliefs altered by the mind manipulations of the media, and by preachers, and so many people are believing lies as truth and truth as lies.

This is why we are taught in the Scriptures to test everything that we hear (or read) against the Scriptures, in context, and in prayer, to make certain of whether or not what we are listening to are lies or the truth. But sometimes we have things wrong and we do not realize it until we search the Scriptures ourselves and then we realize that what we were taught was not the truth, and that what we were believing was a lie. So we must be careful that we don’t reject the truth thinking that we are rejecting lies. And this is why we need to be students of the Scriptures who read them in context.

Now, with regard to what verse 9 teaches us, there are really two ways of looking at this, I believe. For this is speaking of covering another person’s transgression, a sin, which I believe has to do with forgiveness. We are to forgive those who sin against us and we are not to desire revenge nor retaliation, and we are not to gossip about the person who sinned against us in order to get others to think evil of the person. For it is loving to forgive others who sin against us and to not retaliate.

On a flip side of this, this is not talking about hiding sin or excusing away sin or giving the sinner the idea that his sin doesn’t matter to God or that he is okay if he continues living in that sin. This is not about condoning sin nor about excusing it away or coddling people in their sins. For the Scriptures teach that we are to speak the truth in love to one another, and that we are to exhort one another daily so that we are not hardened by sin’s deceitfulness, and we are to help restore one who has fallen back into sin.

And it is definitely not teaching that we are to excuse away or hide deliberate and habitual sin going on within the gatherings of the church, among those professing faith in Jesus Christ, and that we are to hide their sins so that no one finds out. For when sin is allowed to permeate the church it spreads like gangrene and it impacts the entire body of Christ. We are to confront habitual and intentional sin among the members of Christ’s body with the intention of bringing the sinners to genuine repentance.

And what verse 15 says here is definitely what is largely taking place today in the market-driven and flesh-driven “churches” here in America. For the wicked are largely being justified and the righteous are largely being condemned. For if you are living in deliberate and habitual sin you will often be coddled in your sins and comforted with a false message which gives you the assurance of salvation and eternal life with God regardless of how you live. Other people will like you because you are like them.

But if your life is committed to Jesus Christ and to his service, and so you take God and his word to heart, and so you are walking in obedience to the Lord in holy living, although not necessarily in absolute perfection, and so you are doing the will of God in loving the people of this world and by sharing with them the teachings of the Scriptures, and so you are calling sin what it is, and you are calling people to repentance and to obey the Lord, and you are refuting Satan’s lies, you will largely be rejected.

And that is because so much has been flipflopped to where good is being called evil, and evil is being called good, and those who are walking in sin are being applauded while those who are walking in righteousness are being cast away. And those who coddle people in their sins are being called “loving,” while those who confront deliberate and habitual sin in the lives of those professing faith in Jesus Christ are regarded as unloving and/or as judgmental and legalistic and/or self-righteous, etc.

So, be students of the Scriptures who know what they teach, in context, and don’t be followers of human beings, some of whom are lying to you. Don’t entertain the lies, but first of all be certain of what are lies and what is truth so that you don’t end up rejecting the truth in favor of the lies thinking that you are believing the truth and not the lies. And be those who forgive others their sins against you but don’t be those who coddle people in their sins and who make excuses for them so that they continue in their sin. Speak the truth, but speak it in love, and lead others to follow Jesus with their lives.

[Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; Romans 2:6-8; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 2 Corinthians 5:15; Galatians 5:16-21; Galatians 6:7-8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 10:23-31; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6; 1 Jn 3:4-10]

As the Deer

By Martin J. Nystrom
Based off Psalm 42:1

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

John Oliver, host of HBO's Last Week Tonight, has offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a million dollars a year, out of his own pocket, plus a luxurious motor coach, to resign from the Supreme Court.

Do you think Thomas will take the offer? Or will Harlan Crow counteroffer?

-- A2SG, hope he takes it...that's a nice motor home.....

This is great news- I have been spending alot of time searching for a new apartment, I recently heard I was going to be getting more money per month and that would be enough for a nice apartment in the Harrisburg area, however this fell through and it turns out I was not going to be getting much extra money and I could not afford most local apartments. I was out driving through Harrisburg and as I was driving I saw quite a few apartment complexes that I had never seen before and were not listed on the internet. I now have about 10 complexes I can apply to that should work that I can afford, I also found one apartment north of Linglestown that would be absolutely perfect, it is exactly what I was looking for! I believe God led me to this supernaturally! It is an apartment on the top floor of someone's house that is back in the woods north of Harrisburg, it is in a nice peaceful setting, it is out in the country but still very close to Harrisburg, this was just what I wanted! Alot of people have been praying for me for new housing and I have also been asking God for this and He has answered in a big way, something that will work will now come up for sure! It looks like I will finally be able to get out of my current apartment after about 5 years! I have been living right in the pit of hell here 24/7, there is an extremely evil presence here and there is a huge drug problem, I can smell pot smoke coming from the other units in my building every night and I also smell it coming out of people's windows when I go out for a walk, lots of people here are doing drugs. Every day has been a huge spiritual battle, I have been doing spiritual warfare over this complex every day and also praying for the salvation of all tenants and also praying for an end to all drug and alcohol activity. When I first moved in here I found that my apartment was infested with spirits, however I pled the blood of Jesus over my apartment and took authority and told the spirits to leave in the name of Jesus. I got a sensation like the air in my apartment was on fire and then I felt the spirits leave and now my apartment is nice and peaceful! I also asked pastor mel to come over and pray over my apartment to cleanse it and he did that, I also anointed the door to my apartment with oil and prayed that nothing evil would be able to come through the door and I also anointed the door to my bedroom and did the same, that helped alot. There was also a big spirit in the complex, a demonic principality, I got someone on the internet to agree with me in prayer that it would go and I felt it leave, the atmosphere here has improved alot now, I also have been binding all evil spirits in the complex and casting them out and also loosing angels here in the name of Jesus, that has helped the atmosphere here alot as well. There is still a very evil presence here but things are much improved from when I first moved in.

If the Catholic Church made women priests,
could they get married to Eastern Orthodox priests?

There are more than a few messianic Christians soldiers in the IDF. There are some Christians in enclaves in Gaza. Since there are Americans being held hostage in Gaza, some of them may be Christians.

I’m making these points because I know that this is a forum for prayers for persecuted Christians.

Please pray for a cease-fire where the hostages will be released. I don’t believe that Netanyahu is ever going to call for a permanent cease fire, and personally, I can see why.

But in the past temporary ceasefires led to the release of hostages.

Please pray for them, and for the Christians who are trapped in Gaza.

In Northern Mozambique there was a surge (Islamic State) and they have blocked off a main road. Anyone driving is being stopped - as of yesterday - and if they are Muslim they are being ordered to pay a road tax and allowed to continue on.

If the driver is Christian they are being forced to convert to Islam or die on the spot.

Please join me in praying for the protection of God's people there, and that if they face their death they do so in the power of the Holy Spirit.

I'm so very sorry for this... Please pray with me.

I believe that this information is very important and interesting.
What say you?

“This award, I mean, just leaving the whole Trump thing out of it and seeing what occurred here…And I’m no different than any other investor, I’m shocked at this,” O’Leary said in an interview Monday with Fox Business. “I can’t even understand or fathom the decision at all. There’s no rationale for it.” It would be foolish to make investments in New York when they can twist the law into anything they wish. In the blink of an eye your investment could be confiscated.
