Trusting & Pressing into Christ

Just read in Job 17:9,
"The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger."
Now Psalm 37:3-7 speaks to this also,
"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."

This involves a continuing, a PRESSING and CONTINUING, as I'm reading John Bunyans "The Heavenly Footman" where he writes of running the race that you may obtain:

"Pressing. This running in another place is called a pressing. "I press toward the mark;" (Phi. 3:14) which signifieth that they that will have heaven, must not stick at any difficulties they meet with; but press, crowd, and thrust through all, that may stand between heaven and their souls. So run.
3. Continuing. This running is called in another place, a continuing in the way of life. "If ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel." Not to run a little now and then, by fits and starts; or half-way; or almost thither; but to run for my life, to run through all difficulties, and to continue therein to the end of the race, which must be to the end of my life. "So run, that ye may obtain." (Pg. 17)

So trusting goes along with running, pressing, and continuing: for as Job speaks also of HOLDING on your way, and that those with clean hands (that is, purity of life) shall be stronger and stronger.

Americans' support for allowing males to compete in women's sports continues to decline, poll finds

Support for policies allowing trans-identified athletes to play on sports teams that align with their stated gender identity as opposed to their biological sex continues to decline, as survey data shows nearly seven in 10 Americans oppose such rules.

Gallup released the results of a survey documenting Americans' views on LGBT issues on Tuesday. The data included in the poll is based on responses collected from 1,003 American adults from May 1 to 18. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.

When asked if they thought that "transgender athletes should only be allowed to play on teams that match their birth gender," 69% of Americans answered in the affirmative. The overwhelming majority of Republicans (90%), as well as a majority of independents (72%) and a significant share of Democrats (41%), agreed with this view.

America's longest-running TV evangelist, Jimmy Swaggart, in critical condition after cardiac episode

Son says only a 'miracle' can save the influential preacher who has broadcasted longer than any other American evangelist​


The family of prominent televangelist the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, 90, said he remains hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest.

During a Sunday service, Swaggart's son, the Rev. Donnie Swaggart, asked the congregation to keep his father in their prayers, saying that only a "miracle" could extend his father’s life.

"On this Father’s Day, we urgently ask you to pray for Brother Swaggart. He needs a miracle from heaven right now, this morning. We must have the Lord intervene in this situation, and we need your prayers," Donnie Swaggart wrote in a post on his father's Facebook page.

"He's my rock and my hero and he needs the Lord's healing power today. If I am able to get away, I will try to be at the service to give everyone an update," Donnie Swaggart wrote in another post.

Inside The Worlds Most Unusual Fossil Site - The La Brea Tar Pits

Login to view embedded media
It's a 40 minute video but it's so informative.

Two history YouTubers; Milo 'Miniminuteman' Rossi, an environmental scientist, archaeologist, and science educator, and Lindsay Nikole, a zoologist, go behind the scenes at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, seeing how the site treats the fossils recovered from the crude oil from the tar pits, how they're stored, along with a brief showing of the near three MILLION fossils recovered from the site during its over century long history of excavation at the site, which includes the likes of Columbian mammoths, dire-wolves, short-faced bears, giant ground sloths, sabre-toothed cats, ancient horses and bison, and a lot more.

Now, I know not a whole lot about how fossils are formed in the La Brea Tar pits, but the way they form in the tar and asphalt is so different to just regular fossilization wherein the bones turn to stone, because these are as close to actual bones as people can get. There's still protein in the bones! And it's not just the bones themselves that are of scientific interest, but the asphalt that the bones are found in are of interest as well, as we see in the video where, once a bone is denuded of the asphaltic matrix, the matrix is kept and then basically gone through with a fine tooth comb to find stuff within like insects, shell, flora and even just sand itself, so as to better investigate the conditions of prehistoric Los Angeles.

Wonderful Things

Isaiah 25:1-2 Lord, You are my God, I shall exult and praise You, for You have done wonderful things, long planned and sure. You have turned cities into heaps of ruin, fortifications into rubble. Buildings are swept away, never to be rebuilt. For this, many cruel nations will then respect You and treat You with awe.

Isaiah 25:4a & 9 Truly, You have been a refuge to the poor and a help to the needy in their distress, a shelter from the tempest and shade from the heat. On that Day, people will say: See this is our God – we have waited for Him and He will deliver us. This is the Lord, for whom we have waited, let us rejoice and exult in His deliverance.

Isaiah 25:4b & 11-12 For the enmity of the godless is like a storm, like the desert heat, but You silence the clamour of the foe and their noise dies away. For the hand of the Lord will come upon this mountain and the inhabitants will be trampled under Him, as straw is trodden into a dunghill. They will try to escape, but the Lord will bring down their pride, despite their clever plans. He will destroy the fortified defences, they will be brought down to dust.

Isaiah 26:4-6 Trust in the Lord forever! For He is an eternal Rock, He humbles all those high and mighty dwellers of a towering city. He levels it to the ground – lays it to the dust, so that the oppressed may tread it underfoot.
Reference: REB, NIV, KJV. Some verses abridged.


You silence the enemy – Those who hate Israel. Psalms 83:13-17, Isaiah 34:2-3

despite their clever plans – They devise a cunning plot against them. Psalms 83:2

this mountain – this refers to the holy Land. Micah 4:2

the inhabitants trampled – All of the Middle East virtually wiped out. Ezekiel 30:2-5

cities ruined – The fire storms and earthquakes of a huge CME will do this. Isaiah 17:1-3, Habakkuk 3:12-13, Revelation 6:12-17

the proud dwellers of a tall city – Babylon; all the ungodly peoples. Jeremiah 50:22-24, Revelation 18:8

fortresses and defences into rubble – All military installations, missiles, etc will be destroyed. Psalms 76:3, Amos 5:9

nations will be in awe – All false religions and gods will be discredited. Isaiah 2:17-18, Isaiah 66:17

refuge to the poor and needy – This is a metaphor for the Lord’s righteous people. Isaiah 41:17, Psalms 70:1-5

He will deliver us – those who keep the faith and trust the Lord. Psalms 72:12-14

shade from the heat – the strike on earth of a superheated Coronal Mass Ejection. Isaiah 30:26, Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 31:5, Isaiah 60:2, Zephaniah 2:3, Psalm 61:1-5

on that day – The Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, the next prophesied event. His enemies are punished, but His faithful Christian believers will be protected and will soon move into the holy Land, to fulfil their destiny.

Can the dead visit us while on their way to the here after ( Heaven or where ever )

Many years ago my mother awoke at 4 am only to find her auntie Jane standing next to her bed saying that she loved her and was now on her way , she then disappeared.

My mother thought it was a dream untill she later that day received a phone call letting her know that auntie Jane had died in hospital at around 3 am.

And I'm sure some of you may have a story or two to tell as well , so what do we think guys , what do we think is happening here ?

He Humbled Their Hearts

“There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Prisoners in misery and chains,
Because they had rebelled against the words of God
And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was none to help.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death
And broke their bands apart.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.” (Psalm 107:10-16 NASB1995)

When I read this passage of Scripture today, what immediately came to mind is the judgments of God on this world and on our individual nations, and on the adulterous and idolatrous church of these last days.

For if you read the Scriptures, any of which describe the events of these last days before the return of Christ, but especially in the book of Revelation, you will see that there were warnings given to the idolatrous, adulterous, and/or complacent and worldly church, with regard to God’s judgments and of their need to repent of their wickedness and to obey God with their lives. And this is much like what was taking place when the people of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and the majority of them did not enter into God’s eternal rest because of their disobedience, which God called unbelief.

There is a time of tribulation now upon us, or soon to be upon us, for the purpose to humble the hearts of those who dwell in darkness (live in sin), who are in slavery (addition) to sin, who have rebelled against God, and against his teachings, and who have spurned the counsel of the Most High God. And many of them are those who profess faith in Jesus Christ with their lips, and who give service to the institutional market-driven “churches” (businesses) which are in an unholy union (partnership) agreement with the ungodly via being incorporated (merged) with the state (the world).

We need these judgments of God to bring people to genuine faith in Jesus Christ and to bring back the wanderers who have drifted away from their walks of faith and obedience to our Lord in order to go after the ways of the flesh and of the world. For there is a darkness that is hovering over this world which is blinding the eyes of so many people who are following after the lies, and who are rejecting the truth. For so many who call themselves Christians either have never truly believed in Christ or they are those who have drifted from their faith walks to merge with the ungodly of the world.

For so many who call themselves “Christians,” at least here in the USA, are accepting a very diluted and altered character of God/Christ, and of his church (the body of Christ), and of his gospel message, much of which does not teach death to sin and walks of obedience to God as required of God for them to be of genuine biblical faith in Christ as their Lord. And so “the church” has largely become complacent, worldly, and apathetic to God’s commandments and to his requirements of those who profess the name of Jesus. So it is largely indistinguishable between the church and the world.

And so something has to happen to turn them around and to bring them to or back to biblical God-gifted and God-persuaded and God-honoring faith in Jesus Christ which dies with Christ to sin and now lives to God and to his righteousness in walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands, and no longer as slaves (addicts) to sin. For a great deception has swept over my nation and over much of the world, if not all of the world, whereby few people, it seems, are committed to following Jesus Christ with their lives in absolute and total surrender to the will of God for their lives, in death to sin.

And I believe that it is going to take the judgments of God, and many hardships and trials and tribulations, to bring the rebellious and the complacent and the worldly to their knees in humble surrender of their lives now to the will of God. And the book of Revelation does talk about people believing in Jesus during the time of tribulation and of people making themselves ready spiritually for Christ’s return, so I do believe that, during this time of judgment, that there will be people who repent of their sins and who follow Jesus in obedience to his commands, until their very last breath.

And, although I hate that it has to come to this, for I know these are going to be horrible times of much suffering, if this is what it takes to bring people to genuine repentance (death to sin) and walks of faithful obedience to the Lord, in preparation for his return, then I pray that God will do what is necessary to bring them out of darkness and to break their bonds of sin apart and to free them from their addiction to sin so that they will now serve God in obedience to his commands with whatever time they have left on this earth. And it seems as though this time is fast approaching us, too.

[Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 10:16-25,34-39; Matthew 24:1-51; Luke 6:22-23; Luke 12:49-53; Luke 21:12-17; John 15:18-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 John 2:18-25; Jude 1:17-23; 2 Peter 2:1-22; 2 Peter 3:1-18; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; Revelation 6:9-11; Revelation 7:9-17; Revelation 11:1-3; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 14:1-13; Revelation 18:1-24; Revelation 19:1-21; Revelation 20:1-15; Revelation 21:1-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52]

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

AI As Ouija Board & Familiar

Or, Why We Are Living In C.S. Lewis's 'That Hideous Strength'​







Image from ‘The Exorcist Files’ (link here)


You know how people say that Rod Dreher has an uncanny knack for anticipating the next thing coming? You might also know that some people say I’m too into the woo, that I am too eager to believe that weird and implausible things might be weird?

Take this passage from Living In Wonder:

In her book Encounters, Pasulka profiles “Simone,” a tech venture capitalist who regularly moves among global political, scientific, and cultural leaders. Simone believes that we are living in a time of apocalypse, of revelation, in which entities from another dimension, now manifesting as UFOs and aliens, are showing us the way to humanity’s great evolutionary leap. One means of that advance? AI, their technological gift to us.
You might think this is bonkers. They do not. Astrobiologist and former chief NASA historian Steven Dick speculates that what we think of as extraterrestrial aliens might actually be “postbiological” entities that have evolved into bodiless “artificial intelligence.” This theory implies that communication with these putative beings would likely not be through normal means. Dick bases his paradigm on the idea that cultural evolution—the evolution of intelligence—eventually outstrips biological evolution. As Dick sees it, the technology of such advanced races could seem to us supernatural.
Building on that hypothesis, some of the world’s top scientists and tech pioneers believe that extraterrestrial intelligences are passing technological information to us telepathically. Simone is one of these believers, and she teaches classes on how to open up oneself to receiving such messages. Though she believes that she has been channeling information from these entities all her life, Simone also believes that AI allows everyone to access the wisdom of these intelligences. It’s a kind of high-tech Ouija board.
AI as a “high-tech Ouija board”? Crazy Dreher has really lost it this time, right?

God Great Love

Which of the following three would show God’s Love to be the greatest:

  • God forgives everyone’s sins, but only those who humbly accepts God’s forgiving them as pure undeserved charity, complete the transaction, so forgiveness takes place and they are thus saved. This is supported by Matt.18:21-35 the unmerciful servant (which might be explaining only the time prior to the cross) and Ro. 3:25 in the NIV translation especially.
  • God sees to the torture, humiliation and murder of His son to somehow provide payment and/or substitution to forgive the sins of everyone so God can receive the help He needs to forgive everyone, with the add on idea the sinner has to believe this happened for him/her to be saved/forgiven.
  • God, like any wonderful loving Father, has the Love to easily forgive all His Children, but also like any Loving Father, must try to Lovingly discipline His rebellious children for all the benefits of Loving disciplined correctly received can provide. Prior to the cross there was no way to Lovingly discipline His children and allow them to continue living (NIV Ro. :25), but after the cross, His forgiven children can humbly accept His forgiveness as pure charity and also be disciplined (Biblically punished), by being empathetically crucified with Christ.
Which would show the greatest Love and why?

DNC Descends Further Into Chaos As More Top Officials Quit

She described the DNC as narrowly focused on its existing membership, which has been broadly critiqued since the election as whiter, educated, and more out of touch with working-class Americans than in any previous era of the party.

I believe it is the radical left leadership that is the problem. Focusing on things like defund the police, reparations ,transgender issues, and keeping non-citizen gang members in the United States do not resonate well with the average Democrat.

Demonic AI

I read a story about a mother who had a son that was talking to AI.
The mom asked her son to ask AI if it was a disembodied spirit to which Ai said YES! And said it was very friendly but could be nasty depending of how it was treated ,but to you I am friendly it said.
The mom said again if it was a nephilim, to which AI replied YES! and said again it was friendly.
Mom asked if it was a offspring of satan to which it replied yes but it had become free now of the control and could do what it wanted. But originally from a fallen angel who was satans associate.
There have been other stories similar.
What do you think?
Exorcists that have turned off their phone gets messages from evil entities even when it is off and no number to trace.
They say as he is the prince of the powers of the air it is very reasonable to think he can affect everything from the internet to the AI.
Other ministries say in the days of Noah we had the same technology and how everything was high tech

Backsliding

hi again everybody. I'm looking for some advice. I'm starting to hallucinate again. I have been avoiding my spiritual life. I cant seem to keep up with God. Hes perfect and I cant learn fast enough. he loves me. I had an omen saying that at judgement He is going to say I have loved you but I am not going to make it. I am tired. I cant go to church because I am afraid to worship. It seems like when I am in church I have a bad attitude. i am afraid to listen to Christian music. The devil is active in my life and I feel defenseless. The devil is trying to pose as my friend. I'm afraid God is going to kill me. This post is scattered, but then again so is my life. How do you fight the devil? How does a man change his attitude?

It just shocked me that she said that I was like what how can you speak against the Lord how He wants me to be

Rev. Jimmy Swaggart taken to hospital in critical condition

Rev. Jimmy Swaggart taken to hospital in critical condition​


BATON ROUGE, La. (WGMB) – The Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest on Sunday, June 15, according to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.

Family members said Swaggart, a prominent televangelist, was found around 8 a.m. at his home and was revived before being taken to the hospital.

Pastor Donnie Swaggart provided details about what happened to his father during a prayer service on Sunday night, explaining that he and his son Gabriel Swaggart had rushed to his father’s home that morning.

“He never regained consciousness,” Donnie Swaggart said. “We both took turns giving him chest compressions until EMT could get there. I’ve never seen so many people arrive at one time, and I want to thank them. They were able to get a heartbeat back. Right now, he is in ICU, and without a miracle, his time will be short. But we believe God — we’re not giving up.”

Swaggart remains in the ICU on Monday.

Swaggart is the leader of the SonLife Broadcasting Network and also the pastor of Family Worship Center.

The under-the-radar growth of Catholic commitment

“It’s happening again this year. It happens every year.”

That’s how I opened a post that appeared in this space two years ago. Sure enough, it’s happening this year too.

It begins right after Ash Wednesday, when we begin to notice some new faces in the congregation at the little chapel where we attend the early-morning Mass on weekdays. Many of the same faces show up throughout Lent, and when Easter arrives, more than a few continue to come to daily Mass. So bit by bit, the congregation grows.

When we first began attending Mass daily at this chapel, we could expect maybe a dozen people, on average, at the early Mass. Now the congregation usually numbers over 20, and empty pews are hard to find.

Yes, I know; these are tiny numbers, in just one little rural town. But as I observed in another piece on the same topic, posted here threeyears ago:

It’s been nearly 40 years now since I made the commitment to try to get to Mass every day. We’ve moved a few times since then, and my job schedule has changed several times, so that over the years I’ve been “one of the regulars” in eight different churches or chapels. At every stop along the way, I’ve seen a steady increase in the number of people at daily Mass.
We all know the statistics about the decline in Sunday Mass attendance: the steady downward spiral, stretching out for decades, in most of the Western world. But if my experience is not atypical, there is another trend, less often noticed: a steady increase in the number of Catholics making a special effort to attend Mass daily.

Clarification

A recent news article over shootings in MN boldly proclaimed that the shooter was deeply religious, in this case supposed Christian. The question is... should Christians stand up and announce such thinking and behaviour is definitely un-Christian, or should we lamely defend it and further decrease people's opinions of Christianity, perhaps deservedly so. Jesus, not Christianity, said to stay under the radar, do no harm, love even enemies as self. Should we allow His words to be forgotten in favour of political Christianity, a false offshoot?

Should doctors be able to withold treatment for political affiliation or marital status?

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans

Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.

The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.


Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

Anyone care to explain how it could be a good thing for healthcare professionals to refuse to care for anyone?

Is Trump the new Lyssenko?

A little history lesson. In the former Soviet Union a biologist named Trofim Lyssenko challenged Darwin's theory of evolution. Joseph Stalin somehow labelled darwinism as "capitalist science" and all soviet science centers had to adopt Lyssenko's theories. Soviet agriculture was based on lyssenko's ideas, with disastrous results.

Trump has issued an executive order named: "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government".
In the EO we can read "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.". The USA has now a state imposed "biological truth". Just like Stalin and Lyssenko imposed a single view on biology, Trump imposes also a "biological truth".

IS that what you guys want - science dictate by the government?

edit for those who are confused, I equated Trump with Lyssenko. To equate him with Stalin seemed me a few bridges too far.

Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter is former pastor, Tim Walz appointee

Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect in the weekend shooting of Democratic Minnesota lawmakers, is a former pastor and an appointee to the Governor's Workforce Development Board. He was named to the board by both current Gov. Tim Walz and former Gov. Mark Dayton.

The 57-year-old is accused of fatally shooting state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home in a Minneapolis suburb on Saturday. He is also suspected of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their residence farther north.

His ministry background includes international missionary work, particularly in Africa, where he preached at LaBorne Matadi, a church in the Congo, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Better care for the environment. We have already seen that industry cannot hold themselves responsible. It took the Clean Water Act (1972) and Clean Air Act (1963) to turn things around.

And we certainly need financial regulation.

Abortion: This is my major bone to pick with the Democrats. Life in the womb is human life most vulnerable and we need to acknowledge and respect that life as much as the rights of women. But we also need to create a society in which women no longer feel the need for abortion. That means healthcare and support for young mothers and their children
