Need Prayer for my Facebook

Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers- facebook has recently disabled my account, I have been trying to get it restored by creating a new account like 5 times now but that has been denied every time, I need to get my facebook back on-line as it has been a great ministry tool for me and I have been able to bless alot of people with it, I also use it to keep in touch with alot of other believers. Whenever I receive a teaching or revelation from God I just go down the list and send it off to everyone I know, I also will post it to Christian facebook groups with millions of members. I have probably been able to bless thousands of people with it. Please pray for the restoration of my facebook and that I get it back on-line! Thanks!

Hegseth orders name of gay rights activist Harvey Milk scrubbed from Navy ship — vessels honoring Harriet Tubman and Ruth Bader Ginsburg could be next

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to review the names of several ships honoring the likes of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk, abolitionist Harriet Tubman and late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to multiple reports.

Navy Secretary John Phelan indicated in an internal memo obtained by CBS News that the name review is aimed at “reestablishing the warrior culture” in the military, a priority of the Trump administration.

“Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all [Department of Defense] installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief’s priorities, our nation’s history, and the warrior ethos,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.

Cheating Death by merging with AI

Just saw this article: Google engineer says humans are on the cusp of immortality

Well, I only read the headline "Google engineer says humans can cheat death – we just have to merge with AI"

You see, it strikes me as a futile endeavour. We'd lose our subjective experience and death is something I look forward too.

Jesus promises Revelation 2:17 . It sounds so precious. Isaiah 62:2-3 says similar.


Home sounds great:
Philippians 3:20-21
2 Corinthians 5:1-2

The above headline sounds empty.

Your thoughts?

I currently have assurance, but how long will it last?

I have wavered back and forth between thinking I am a Christian and thinking I am not. I now think I am saved. That is based on some things that occurred this morning, including reading a couple of Private Messages from John. I think I totally trusted Christ and He took me, like I asked Him to. Here's the deal with me: I have both religious OCD and wavering faith. Either one by itself generates severe doubt. The combination of the two has held me in the perfect storm. But now, I can say to my OCD, "Epheshians 1:13-14." I can say to my concern about my wavering faith, "John 1:17." The Ephesians passage says that when I trusted Christ I was sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise. The John verse says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights, in Whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning." Biblical doctrine says that Christ saves in a moment and He does not waver. My faith might waver, but He does not. Clinging to those two verses (among others, such as what John pointed out, John 6:37) and to that biblical doctrine, I understand He has me and will not let me go. If I doubt, I can go to some verses and biblical doctrine.

CNN ripped after trashing FBI as ‘juvenile’ for branding hate-fueled Colorado firebomb attack as terrorism

The backlash again Kayyem was swift on social media, with many pointing to footage of the horror that showed the terror suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, screaming “Free Palestine” before he blasted a crowd who were commemorating the Israeli hostages still in Gaza.
“The guy shouted ‘Free Palestine’ while throwing fire bombs at a crowd of Jewish people,” Ben Williamson, an assistant director for the FBI’s public affairs unit, wrote on X.

CNN wants us to remember that white supremacy is the biggest threat to America.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands?

Ephesians 5:22-25
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...

The following video of a street preacher reminded me of that Bible passage. The comments for that video seem to be overwhelmingly supporting the preacher. (so far I haven't found any negative comments)

"Are you a disobedient wife?"
"All the time and I love her for it."
"You know why - because you're not the man of the house - that's the problem - you know what happens - the devil attacks the man - he weakens the man and he strengthens the feminist woman so she has a big mouth and she has no submission, no submission"

6:36 "control your woman man - she's out of control"
6:52 "fix your stupid woman man she's being stupid"

I was wondering what Christians think about that passage being used to encourage men to have more power in a marriage...

Could it be that we are this close now ?

Because i'm seeing quite a bit of this lately.


2 Timothy 3 - But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

Pulled into KFC the other day and ordered a meal , received my meal but no spoon , so tapped on the window and asked for a spoon , girl opens the window and throws the spoon at me in disgust , I say well how am I supposed to eat the potato & gravy ?......she says who bloody well cares and slams the window closed. ( Must have been love at first sight..lol )

But that's only one of the many stories that I could tell. Some are saying it's because of the covid19 vaccine because Dr Peter McCullough says it goes into the brain and causes damage , but i'm not too sure about that , I think Einstein might be on to something here , who knows.

Anyone else noticing these strange behaviours in young people today ?......because if you are then we might actually be on the cusp of the end time scenario.

Watch 150 Amish Carry an Entire Building Down the Road...

“Some have asked why not use wheels. Mostly it was because of time. The amount of dirt that would have needed to be moved to get wheels through two ditches, plus the 180 turn at the end with limited space. It had to go down slightly to miss the power lines crossing onto the dirt road. Then the number one reason was you don't need overweight or over width permits if you just carry it...”

Have you understood this?

After explaining to His disciples the parables of the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus asked them; Have you understood all this? Matthew 13:51 and they answered – Yes.

It was a simple sounding question, but actually He was asking the most profound question of the ages.. Jesus was asking if they knew that, in Gods eyes there are two and only two – classes of people in the world: Those that accept God and His Laws: wheat, buried treasure, pearls and good fish - and the children of Satan: tares, weeds and worthless fish.

Matthew 13:37-42... He replied: The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
The field is the world, the good seed stands for the children of the Kingdom and the weeds, the children of the evil one.
The enemy who sowed the weeds is the devil The harvest is the end of time and the reapers are angels.
As the weeds are gathered up and burnt at the end of the age, the Son of Man will rid His Kingdom of every cause of sin and all whose deeds are evil. These will be thrown into the blazing furnace, where there will be much wailing and sorrow.

Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father If you have ears, then hear.

Just a speculation – but Jesus gave four parables about who will and who will not inherit the Kingdom;

1/ The wheat and the weeds – Messianic Jews and apostate Jews, the House of Judah.

2/ The buried treasure – The born again Christians who are also the House of Israel.

3/ A pearl of great value – A person who dedicates their life to the Lord.

4/ The good and the worthless fish – All peoples, believers and unbelievers.

Luke 6:20 Blessed are you who are in need; the Kingdom of God is yours.

Chinese scholar at University of Michigan tried to smuggle biological pathogen into the U.S., feds say

Federal agents have arrested a University of Michigan scholar from China on charges she tried to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States characterized as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that can be used for targeting food crops. . .
FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the arrest late Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter.
“This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences … putting American lives and our economy at serious risk.”

We will be dealing with the fallout from past immigration policy for decades.

Utah legislator threatens legislation after Utah Mammoth (Hockey) and Jazz (basketball) make posts supporting Gay Pride

From KSL.com:
"Over the weekend, the Utah Mammoth posted a message on the social platform X that said, "Happy Pride!" along with a rainbow flag. Pride month is recognized each June as a celebration of LGBTQ+ rights and culture.

"The Utah Jazz posted a similar social media message about Pride, urging love and support for the LGBTQ+ community "as we work to foster a safer and more inclusive space for all."

"But Rep. Trevor Lee, R-Layton, took issue with the hockey team's message, saying that "Utahns overwhelmingly don't support pride month."

"Nothing makes Utahns more mad when political ideologies get pushed into their lives. And even worse, having taxes prop up these ideologies," Lee wrote on X. "Watch for some significant legislation this next session that pushes back onto these woke groups!"

The Saints will meet the Lord in the air, not Rapture, at Jesus second coming, this is the first Resurrection

Some people say, "Jesus is going to rapture us up to Heaven where he is" and when we ask them where they get that from that quote 1Thessalonians 4:13-17, to make a point or justify the rapture.13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Now lets take a closer look at the scripture and see what’s it talking about. Paul is telling people Not to grieve over people death in Christ; cause they will be raise again, as surely as the virtuous people that are living will be changed. "For the Lord will descend, (which mean come down), and we all will be caught up (ascend) together in the clouds to MEET the Lord in the AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. So all the saints will meet the Lord in the air with the Angels and come down, back to earth. The third heaven is above space, and above space, theres a body of water. So the Lord is coming from all the way up there, now the saints are coming from the earth to meet the Lord in the clouds, and then we are going back to earth.

Lets go into Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Lets read this last part again in 1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

At the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with ALL HIS SAINTS. How clear is this brothers and sisters. You have to get understanding. Just because a person see the word heaven, it doesn't mean that every word that you see in the Bible that says heaven, is talking about the same thing. There are three heavens God created. First heaven is Earth, Second heaven is the sun, moon, stars, clouds. The Third heaven is above all, is where our Lord Father and Jesus Christ are. Lets take a look an example in Deuteronomy 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

What else do you see when you look up and see the sun the moon and stars, you see the clouds, and didn't say in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Do we understand what meet means.

Lets take a look at the meaning of the word meet. meet1 mēt/ verb 1. come into the presence or company of (someone) by chance or arrangement."a week later I met him in the street" synonyms: encounter, meet up with, come face to face with,run into, run across, come across/upon, chance on, happen on, stumble across/on;informalbump into "I met an old friend on the train"

Canadian Mounties investigating potential war crimes in Gaza

RCMP says it’s probing potential war crimes related to Israel-Hamas conflict

The police service told the Star it launched the investigation in early 2024.

Very few details of the RCMP’s probe into what it called the “Israel-Hamas armed conflict” are known, with the police service confirming the investigation to the Star on Monday, but refusing to answer questions about its scope.

The RCMP launched the investigation quietly in early 2024.

The program is intended to deny safe haven to war criminals, as well as seek accountability for alleged atrocities either by sharing evidence with other authorities or trying individuals in Canadian courts, the justice department said.

“As a neutral law enforcement body, the RCMP considers allegations from all parties involved with impartiality,” the Crown agency said over email Monday in response to a series of questions. “To uphold the integrity of this ongoing investigation, the RCMP provides this as its final response on the matter.”

Multiple reports released by an independent UN commission focused on Israel-Palestine allege both Hamas and Israel have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity since October 2023.

Elon Musk calls Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ tax bill a ‘disgusting abomination’

The former head of Doge said the ‘outrageous’ tax bill will cause the deficit to grow to $2.5tn

Elon Musk, the billionaire tech entrepreneur, has opened a new rift with Donald Trump by denouncing the US president’s tax and spending bill as a “disgusting abomination”.
Musk’s online outburst could embolden fiscally conservative Republican senators – some of whom have already spoken out – to defy Trump as they continue crucial negotiations on Capitol Hill over the so-called “one big, beautiful bill”.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote on his X social media platform on Tuesday. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
Musk, who had previously voiced criticism of the proposed legislation, quipping that it could be big or beautiful but not both, added on X: “It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.”

He continued: “Congress is making America bankrupt.”

Sounds like trouble in paradise. But oh - who to criticise - the world's best president or the world's best businessman? They can't both be right.

Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll’s ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’ Wins K-Love Awards Song of the Year

A night of powerful faith and music: Brandon Lake dominates the K-Love Fan Awards with four wins, including Song of the Year with Jelly Roll, whose redemption story left the audience in tears.
Brandon Lake and country artist Jelly Roll won for Song of the Year, while Leanna Crawford, CeCe Winans, and For King & Country also took home honors during the 2025 K-Love Fan Awards in Nashville, Tenn., broadcast on TBN Friday.

Lake and Jelly Roll won for their collaboration song Hard Fought Hallelujah, a hit that has enjoyed crossover success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Crawford's Still Waters (Psalm 23) won Breakout Song of the Year, while Winans and For King & Country received wins for Female Artist of the Year and Group of the Year, respectively.

Lake had the biggest night, winning four awards: Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Worship Song of the Year (That's Who I Praise).

Jeremy Camp, Bart Millard, Mac Powell, and Matthew West hosted the show, which is in its 12th year.

Lake said Jelly Roll was already a fan of Hard Fought Hallelujah -- originally released as a solo single -- before he was invited to collaborate on it.

"He was like, 'I've been praying for a song like this,'" Lake said as he accepted the award for Song of the Year. "And then fast forward, we start leading this song together, and he starts saying things like, 'Man, I am a man of faith, but I've never had a song and a person, like, just give me permission to be so much more honest about my faith.'"
Jelly Roll, who is on tour, addressed the audience via video.
"Man, what a beautiful story -- man, from a jail cell to a K-Love Award, that is something only God can do himself," Jelly Roll said, referencing his past. "Brandon, thank you for letting me be a part of this record. Thank you to the fans for voting. Thank you for K-Love for taking a chance on this record and adding my version, and just championing it. I don't take this lightly at all."
