Discerning Deception - How Did You Do?

 

can you discern deception?

Discernment and Critical Thinking

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Mat 24:24]

It was the above scripture that kept coming to my remembrance over the course of a several days that prompted me to write the article that was posted yesterday. During those days, I had no idea why the verse kept returning to my mind, often lingering. It was subtle, yet noticeable. Lack of understanding proved frustrating.

Jesus is faithful. Several hours later some editing was done, with some information added to smooth out the wrinkled parts that needed clarification. As I followed the lead of the Holy Spirit, it was then that the understanding came.

It was only logical to place the explanation at the beginning of the post as an update. The Clash of the Kingdoms Intensifies”  Jesus is faithful. I thank Him for helping me to realize that it was just as important for readers to understand what the above scripture was pointing out, and why it kept returning to me and lingering.

The verse tugged at my discernment, and testing my critical thinking. It made sense that if the time of Christ’s return was evident to me, then it is to others too – we are one in Christ.

False Christs, False Prophets Abound!

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [Mat 7:15]

What is it His surrendered children are sensing? Reading the verse grants clarity. We are hearing of false Christs (as ever), but the increase because we are NOW in the days that Jesus emphatically warned us about, the activities happening in recent few years that would be a sign of His return.

Even when I read how certain self-proclaimed prophets were calling for a rapture, not once, but three separate dates in September. False prophets prophesying falsely. Jesus said no one knows when He will return, not the angels, not even Him – no one knows of Christ’s return except the Father (Yahweh).

So, we see the swirling of false Christs, and influx of false prophets, literally thousands globally. Yet, if we look at Jezebel’s prophets of Baal [450], and Asherah prophets [400], there were 850 that confronted the ancient prophet, Elijah. [1Kings18:19]

He slew the Baal prophets (400). That was in Israel alone, so there were likely thousands all over the lands there too. In fact, after Elijah was hiding in a cave, feeling very alone, the Lord assured him that He had 7000 prophets that had not bowed to him or kissed him. [1Kings 19:18]

Seven thousand! So, we should not be surprised at the thousands all around the world today, especially with social media and technology being what it is. Yeshua (our Jesus) said that the generation in the end times (last of last days) would do greater works.

Gen Z and Alpha
the 'smart' Generations
technologies

We can never perform greater miracles, but this generation has a greater reach to bring them in – again, technology, our ability to travel around the world in hours, real-time witnessing. These are the kinds of things Jesus foresaw.

We need to look out for each other, whether you want to or not, it is our reasonable service. Love motivates us – God’s will be done.

With all lowliness [humility] and meekness [gentleness, patience], with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. [Eph 4:2; 4-6] Hallelujah, bless the Lord!

Unity In Christ Jesus, Not Worldly or Satanic Unity

Satan parrots God; he is a counterfeiter, a plagiarist, a copycat. El Shaddai has been calling for Christ-centered unity. Satan is parroting by calling people to unite. He used pandemic to begin his false unity, and now he is using the death of Charlie Kirk. Satan has no love, no truth, no compassion or mercy in him. His heart is cold.

People flash the heart symbol everywhere. People hear “love you” more often than “goodbye”. It is like stamping “Approved” on an outgoing box. It is just as unfeeling, just as repetitive, just as automatic. Most of us have said it or done it.

However, the reality is that it is a mixed group with mixed emotions – many were filled with resentment and hatred at lockdowns, forced vaccines, keeping distances, no socializing, all the rules…

I personally witnessed the increased “push”, even by governments, to unite when the pandemic struck. “We Are All in This Together” is a poster that was all over the place. Then, there was the emphasis to “love” first responders, doctors, nurses, for the risks they were taking to look after those who were sick with Covid-19.

With technology and social media, the world truly is like a village. The heart symbol is flashed around the world, hand gestures like ‘I love you’ (sign language), or ‘peace’, etc. establish a connection, howbeit, a false unity. People turn quickly these days. It is a psychological, it’s programming; it’s cultural. We ‘see’, we ‘adopt’.

Satan counts on the ‘sheep mentality’. Why do you think the expression “sheeple” substituted for “people” became an excepted and understood phrase. We tend to mimic each other, just as Satan mimics/counterfeits God, as well as what He sees God doing.

A Divide - Again

The remnant, who are those who have given themselves over to Christ (surrendered), true born-again believers (I am being truthful without “do’s” and “don’t”) follow the Good Shepherd, which may mean not going along with what the world is doing. Nevertheless, keep in mind, we are not lawless people.

We follow the law of the Holy Spirit, meaning He enables us (helps us) to do God’s will and obey commandments. [Jn 14:21; Mat 7:21] We are not lone islands. We are the body of Christ, and Jesus is the Head. [Col 1:18]

A healthy body needs all parts functioning and strong, well able to fight against our adversaries. But with the pandemic, we all witnessed a great divide, and the ramifications of it are still very much in effect.

The protocols, the vaccines, personal Christian belief, a split tore through societies globally. There were pastors defying the federal mandate and refusing to close their church doors; police were arresting them and putting them in jail.

People were having breathing problems with the masks and refused to wear them. I was one of them. Even amongst police, firefighters, doctors, nurses, teachers, truck drivers, everyone, everywhere – division. I’m not going to rehash it here, but I will say, the divide got bigger, slowly, surely, steadily.

This is true in the natural, but more so in the spiritual. There is a great divide spiritually, and it began when the Lord began the revealing. In 2012, He let it be known that it was the time of revealing, and it was backed by scripture.

the Word reveals
God speaks to us through His Word

                                               and by His Spirit

Time of Revealing

For there is nothing hidden which shall not be disclosed (manifested); neither was anything kept secret, but that it should be brought out into the open. [Lk 8:17]

For whatever is hidden is meant to be revealed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be known. [Mk 4:22]

Why do you think the Lord has been so busy for decades preparing His people all this time? Why do you think He has been revealing all that has been hidden? We knew Satan had infiltrated the church back in the days of the apostles. Paul warned of false brethren – warning of false teachers, false prophets.

We have seen scandal after scandal. It began back in the 80s with many televangelists, but it kept trickling in. Jimmy Swaggart, Peter Popoff, Casey Treat, Jim and Tammy Bakker, et al.

It has escalated and the speed at which God is revealing has accelerated. Every week now, we see more people exposed in religious circles. But the corruption is in the government too.

Epstein had involved celebrities, royalty, and top government officials all around the world, but just as things came out that shocked the world, suddenly there was a death and now the files have been swept clean or at least, there’s a hold-up.

Political and religious circles have been greatly affected. The Lord is not done yet. All is quickly unraveling, but God in His sovereignty and providence is overseeing it all. Why do you think He warned about separating cattle from cattle [Ezek 34], sheep from ram (sheep) at least three times in the past three years?

Cunning and Crafty Deception

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which God had made. [Gen 3:1]

And no marvel, for even Satan transforms (disguises) himself as an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. [2Cor 11:14-15]

Jesus (Yeshua) mentioned deception four times in his relatively short Sermon on the Mount [Olivet Discourse]. When that verse is posted, a gentle reminder goes forth that Jesus was not a man who wasted words.

That said, when He repeats something once it should be enough to make the reader pay attention, but for Him to repeat himself a total of four times in a conversation should be enough to give any believer pause.

He was warning about deception and being deceived. He made it explicitly clear that in the last days just before His return, listeners should use extreme caution and be on guard against deception.

“Take heed that no man deceives you!” [Mat 24:4] Those are the very first words Messiah spoke in answering the question of the disciples when they asked what ‘sign’ they should watch for as a warning of His return, and the end of the world.

When all the confusion swirled around for the first couple of weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, that scripture shone on the walls of my heart. The Word continued to present itself randomly, yet gently. did not depart.

As we can see from scripture, Satan is said to have embodied a serpent in the Garden of Eden, successfully deceiving the woman, who in turn, tempted Adam to disobey God.

                                         

According to Chinese culture, this is the ‘year of the snake’, and indeed, Satan is busier than ever. Spiritual warfare is something that is threaded throughout my writings because it is something the Lord has had me learning about for over 30 years. He was teaching me long before I was committed.

The past seven or so years, especially around occult high sabbats, I was led to warn people of the occult, witches, witchcraft, and more. It was not my intention and not what I wanted to do, but witches kept coming across my path (and at one time I laughed saying they were “fairy tale book stuff”). Was I ever wrong!

For the past four years approximately (it can be checked in the archives), the Lord has continued calling people closer for a deeper intimacy, a surrender that is sweet and permanent.

Gentle reminders about repentance have been a constant. We cannot compromise, nor can we justify our sins with greasy grace (I don’t like the phrase, but the unrepentant and disobedient are soaked in it.)

Rebellion is akin to witchcraft, and the Lord’s heart grieves for many of His people are taking advantage of His goodness. Witchcraft is exalted and the witches beam with pride, bragging about their dastardly deeds. Woe to them.

Discerning Deception

My daughter had come across a clip, a “short” clip on Instagram. It was called “Snake Eyes”, and she shared it with me. Although the movie came out in 1998, I had never heard of it, as I did not watch a lot of movies (although I did watch children’s movies with my three on occasion).

Admittedly, I was stunned by the similarities. Charlie Kirkland instead of Charlie Kirk; Deputy of State instead of a political activist; shot in the neck, a wisp of smoke goes across the actor’s chest which did happen at the debate.

The blonde was a platinum (fake) blonde, but it was the way she wore all-white that got to people. The date was said to be the 10^th but others said it was blurred and the actual date was September 19.

Conspiracy theorists said that even if the date was 19 instead of 10, nine plus one equals ten. Then the boxer whose name was Tyler was labelled the “executioner”. In the movie a hurricane was named Jezebel, and people related it to the witches who claimed to have been paid to cast a spell on Charlie Kirk.

How did you do in discerning deception? Did you discern that Hollywood is always writing scripts and this was just another one, filled with coincidences? Nostradamus predicted the future; other fortune tellers have made predictions that came true.

How do you think Satan operates? Were you persuaded that the movie was warning about what would happen in the future? Charlies Kirk would have only been three or four years old when the movie came out. There was no logical way that anyone would know about Charlie’s interest in politics and how it all came about.

I found it intriguing, so I posted it. The reason the Lord has been calling His children to draw in closer and deeper is for this very reason. That example – the movie versus the real-time tragedy that occurred should be an eye-opener.

In Disney movies, in opening ceremonies, in the Simpson cartoons, in comic books, and other places, we see how deception is blinding the eyes of the people. I cannot pretend that it just about swayed me. Talking with others helps, but mostly, we must seek Jesus and stay in His Word.

This will be posted; adding pictures and editing will be done later. For now, I will I leave this with you. Do not let Satan deceive you. He is NOT God, and he does not control the future. If we allow ourselves to be moved by every coincidence or “predictive programming”, how are we ever going to discern the “false prophet” and the “lawless one”?

Have you given that any thought? Do you believe the false prophet is here and speaking, clearly undetected? People have pointed at nearly every president being the Antichrist, so what will we do when he is actually on-scene but not yet announced or in power?

Or are the false prophet and Lawless one now on-stage but mingled in with the crowd, undetected? There are many questions…much to untangle, but none of it means anything unless it is revealed by the Lord and confirmed by Him alone.

May the Good Shepherd continue to protect us, and may we be following after Him alone.

To be continued…

For His glory alone

The Clash of the Kingdoms Intensifies

 

Clash of the Kingdoms Intensifies

[I am adding this note here because I have already finished the post but neglected to say one thing. It was the very reason I even bothered posting about any of this. Something is wrong...

Yes, murder is wrong; being killed for freedom of speech is wrong; being killed for one's political stand is wrong (and in court, two times, the reason for the assassination that is given is "political", not "religious".

Just saying. Yes, Charlie Kirk was a Christian, stood for many things in the Bible, stood for Jesus, but the reasons given in court (documented) was for his political standing.

The words of Jesus repeating themselves within my spirit are the very reason for my previous posts. It was the ending of one scripture that continued to occupy my mind and lingered, and lingered...one of Jesus' warnings on what we are to look for just prior to His return, and the end of this age. [Mat 24]

"...if it were possible, even the elect will be deceived." [Mat 24:24] I did not post before as I said out of respect (a little longer) for the widow and children, but I did say 'take heed'.

I will say that there are people he hung with that are known to be false teachers and false prophets. According to Paula White, Charlie Kirk was a long-time friend...did he not see the discrepancies, the false teaching, things being done that were not scriptural, or is it okay?

Saving it for another time... "[...] if it were possible even the very elect will be deceived." [Words of Jesus]                 

The Serpent Hisses

Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
for Yours is the power, honour and glory

The hatred of the adversary is real; his legions join in. He is the dragon spoken of in Revelation,[12:3] the serpent in the book of Genesis [3:1],a the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. [1Pet 5:8] He comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. [Jn 10:10]

The serpent in Eden was embodied by Satan. Many call it the devil’s first disguise, and the Word of God declares that he can also appear as an angel of light, along with his “ministers” who appear as those of righteousness [2Cor 11:14, 15], thus deceiving multitudes.

Clash of the Kingdoms - 2012

God is faithful. Over 13 years ago He warned about the increase of the clash of the kingdoms here on earth. it seemed so far away, so long ago. He was preparing His people for all that was coming; for such a time as this, and for such a time as that which is fast approaching.

We are in dark, foreboding days…but these are not yet the darkest days Jesus forewarned about. Several times over the past decade and beyond, I have brought up Matthew 24, the Olivet Discourse. It is jam-packed with a wealth of information to dig through, sort through, and to digest: warnings, alerts, wisdom, and hope.

This is the year of the snake. At the beginning of the year, I posted about the deception that this year would bring due to it being the year of the snake. On Sunday, I will post more about it because it is late now.

Also, I personally like to take Saturday and honour the Lord, a Sabbath. God rested the seventh day. He made the day for us, not us for that day. How many people instinctively yearn for a day off of work. God is good.

It came to mind tonight, and I had spoken about 2025, “a mostly dark year” – cling to Jesus.  I had urged: Fear not – hold fast to Jesus. Pay attention and pray.

One thing really stood out to me in the Messiah’s words of warning as He cautioned listeners about the days just before His return and the end of the world. [Mat 24:3] It was not the stench of evil that will abound, or even the cataclysmic events that will cause the world to reel that gave me

Deception [including self-deception] will be so profound, so controlling and so powerful that it will abound to such magnitude that Jesus [c] was compelled to mention it four times in His short sermon, Christ mentioned deception four times, adding that if it were possible even the elect will be deceived.  

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. [Mat 24:24]

Year of the Snake

                                  

This is the year of the snake; last year was the year of the dragon. Witches, Luciferians, New Age, countless have been celebrating these past couple of years and casting more spells, doing more rituals than ever before. For years, my heart has been to remind readers [and myself at times] of the spiritual battle we are in, and have been in since Eden.

Yahweh immediately foretold of His plan for salvation, much to the chagrin of the serpent. The victory is already assured, but that does not mean God’s people will not have battles, or will not suffer at times through countless battles in this [spiritual] war. 

Yet, we have God on our side, but we need to be in sync with Jesus, abiding, being obedient. When we love the one who rules over us, we want to obey - and if there is something very difficult, we pray for the grace to see us through it with strength. The casualties are seen in the physical realm through those persecuted down throughout the corridors and archives of history.

There was a car that I believe the Lord allowed to come across my path when I was in B.C. It was painted with a viper, a snake on the side. It was a difficult time of spiritual warfare. I had come out of a 31-day fast and had to confront the two pastors in our church (husband [from Peru] and his wife [Jewish]).

They were both involved in ‘Christian’ witchcraft (no such thing – sorcery is sorcery, witchcraft is witchcraft. Rebellion is rebellion; and sin is sin). We have all fallen short of God’s glory but that is no reason to sugarcoat sin or cover it up. If we truly love then we must call out their sin.

I wish I could think of the pastor who said something like he would rather endure someone’s hatred and see them go to heaven, than to wallow in their favour and watch them go to hell. That is paraphrased – his exact words escape me.

The couple would “pray” (read ‘curse’) for people who they felt were coming against them. They would pray for sicknesses or some kind of punishment to hinder what they were doing or to make life difficult for them. 

Before I confronted them, I fasted and prayed. My heart attitude had to be right, and I did want love to be the motive.(The Lord wanted them to repent, and turn from their sins, and He would forgive them and heal inside) [2Chron7:14-16]

[Edited for clarification: Oct 4, 2025 - BP]

That car showed up three times over the course of a year [until that particular battle ended], after which time I never saw it again. There was understanding given by the Lord, as well as the sudden appearance of the car along my travels, but “division” was key [objective being division].

The enemy was seeking to divide the group, which did end up happening, but goals in part were gossip mongering, backbiting, 'unholy' prayers, etc. which finally established the objective of division [Satan comes to steal, kill, destroy [Jn10:10]] The Lord knew about compromise that was occurring amongst those who started a splinter group after the initial split.

It took a little over a year for things to fall begin to unravel, which is why I saw the vehicle three times over the period of twelve - fifteen months, give or take. The couple with witchcraft prayers ended up losing the church. It was a small congregation at the best of times, but they had to sell the small, storefront church, about four months after I spoke with them. 

The exact timing is uncertain, but it was only a matter of months. Judgment begins in the house of the Lord. This couple met at an evangelical event. Both were married at the time, but temptation came along and destroyed two families.

Children lost their faith and their parents (choosing not to speak to them) - all of the adults were in positions of trust within the church and ministering in their given positions (all were pastors, two as self-proclaimed prophets/pastors).

The Lord always gives room to repent. Even the woman in the book of Revelation who called herself a prophetess, and was called Jezebel, had room to repent, but she would not. And neither did these two. When people take on positions of trust within the Body of Christ, El Shaddai takes it very seriously.

Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly]. [Jam 3:1-4] AMP

On the day the fast ended, I approached the two a fair time before people came for service, to keep it private. The Lord assured me (as He does in His written Word) that He would let me know what to speak at the very hour. [Mk 13:11] --Jesus' promise to His followers during times of trial or persecution]

The conversation opened with the fact that God loved them, to which the words were met with an instantaneous smile. However, when I told them that they needed to repent and why, well, smiles just as quickly disappeared as they had appeared...and it got ugly pretty fast. 

They did not take kindly to what I had to say. They saw no wrong in what they did, nor did they see praying for negative things to happen to people as witchcraft, but as "discipline". As for gossip, sharing with others was to get people to pray for each other as instructed as in James 5:16. 

That scripture is between party where one side has wronged the other side. They are to confess their wrong to the ones who were offended or suffered injury, and pray for them so that healing will come.

It is to be a passionate prayer, in which that obedience will be considered righteous by God, and He will move. (It avails much). Taking scripture out of context does not cover up a wrong when those in their congregation confide in them and the pastors betray that confidence. It is gossip...

As far as I know they never repented. After they sold their church, someone came forward and was putting out the money build them another church. The news caused me to question if I had misunderstood the fast and the outcome. 

Truly, I took no delight (none) in them losing their church, but I do know a good Father disciplines His children, in order to turn them back onto the right path, but He will not force people to repent.

The doubt was fleeting because the fasting and praying were sincere. I knew it was His love for them that caused Him to raise someone up to speak with them. It was difficult for them to accept the messenger who had "holes in her shoes".

I remember thinking that they must have repented for someone to be willing to invest in building them a church (they used to stream their services online also). That would make it all worth while, even if they never spoke to me again until meeting beyond the pearly gates (I speak metaphorically.)

Later on the news came that the person who had donated money and was going to continue so that a new church could be built had suddenly stopped. Something had gone wrong. 

Whether the money was improperly spent, or not put into building a church, I do not know. The couple ended up leaving the province. Where they went is unknown. They remain in God's hands. 

A splinter home group started and kept up for about a year. It too fell apart...God will not put up with compromise indefinitely. Time is short. Also, for a short time during that turbulent season when God was revealing things hidden things that I saw the dragon car. 

Moving among the hierarchy of the dark kingdom, for a time, the enemy brought out the heavy artillery, deception, betrayal -- more division. The leader of the splinter group was rejecting certain members of the group for the strangest reasons. My turn came. the enemy was strong against me. 

Three times I came close to having an accident with 18-wheelers. The second time it happened I actually had a witness because I was driving a young man home after he did helped me do some things. 

He lived with his mother and was a young Christian, but he saw first hand the cunning of the adversary. However, I believe that God sent angels to help me. I did not 'see' any angel, but there is no other way to explain the miraculous escapes, two powerfully; the third seemed like a weak effort on the enemy's part, but he still manage to get the wheels on the righthand side of the vehicle off the highway and onto the shoulder - but Jesus! Thanksgiving to Him.

The precious blood of Jesus would protect me , along with the [spiritual] armour and the WORD of God: (Yahweh told the serpent in Eden that he [Satan] would bruise his heel (death on the cross – Jesus], but Christ would crush his head. [Gen 3:15] The resurrection was a glorious victory after the crucifixion.

The previous year of the snake involved division (2012) – Obama made it through the election (now it begins…) the Lord said (the slippery downward slope heading for the great tribulation). Now 2025, full circle with last year being the year of the dragon.

I posted that this year again, the pivotal year of the snake. The viper car was first seen July 2020, then Feb. 26, 2021, and April 2021. That was the last time I ever saw it. Then the dragon car showed up, again after seeking the Lord regarding troubles (spiritual warfare).

Snake Eyes

My daughter found something and revealed it to me, and now I am passing it along for you to take to the Lord. I had said something felt ‘off’, and to ‘take heed’. Here is some information.

Believe everything-except your eyes

In 1998, Nicolas Cage starred in a movie called “Snake Eyes”.  

Charlie Kirkland

A political figure named Charlie Kirkland, a Secretary of State, is assassinated while attending a public event (in the movie it was a boxing match). 

There was not much for security. One actor says to Nicolas Cage (who plays a cop): “Running security tonight. I got a lot on my mind. Kirkland’s high profile. He’s all over the news. It brings the nutcases out of the woodwork.”

Charlie Kirkland has a beautiful blonde woman sit beside him. Kirkland gets shot in the neck, and falls backwards as blood starts shooting out of his neck. Just before the shot, Cage gets a phone call on a gold cell phone.

When Trump was selling a load of me (gold running shoes, Trump cards, and much more), he also released a gold mobile cell, with an opportunity to get Trump mobile – the 47 Plan. The cell has the T 1, the American flag on both sides, with TRUMP Mobile (Make America Great Again) on the front.

After Kirkland is shot in the neck in the movie, (although it was almost simultaneous in actuality), you will also see the “wisp of smoke” or “vapour” like what was seen shortly after the bullet hit. (@2:27 vapor seen like at Kirk’s assassination)

The beautiful blonde who sat near Kirkland when he was shot was dressed entirely in white. In the movie, the crowd panicked and tried to flee the scene. SOURCE: 1998 Movie: Snake Eyes

God is moving. 

It is understood how emotions swept across the country and around the world, but I wonder how many will stay in the faith. It is like the thousands who would go to the Billy Graham crusades, or other crusades., if there was no backup or place recommended for discipleship, many returned to their old ways.

We do know that there will be a falling away. However, Joel 2 and Acts 2 holds a prophesy of how the Lord will pour out His Spirit in the last days, and sons and daughters would prophesy, old men (people) would dream dreams, and young men (people) would have visions.

We know Pentecost happened after Joel’s prophesy. Peter, who was present at Pentecost parroted the prophet Joel’s words. Did we just witness a move over all the lands (globally)? Baptisms have been taking place globally as well. I posted that in the previous articles

Oklahoma

1400 baptised in Oklahoma – Kayla Gabbard Ministry

California

Baptize California saw 7,750 people baptized in May 2025 (over 300 churches involved – led by Pastor Mark Francey of Oceans Church)

Canada

Baptize Canada saw 1,070 people, 8 provinces, 32 cities, 53 churches in June 2025.

East-Central Africa Division

East-Central Africa saw 130,000 baptized (ECD Homecoming Impact campaign) August 2024 with Pastor Ted Wilson leading

Port Moresby Papua New Guinea

Port Moresby Papua New Guinea saw 5000 baptized; for two weeks in May 2024, more than 200,000 people were baptized

God is moving but so is the adversary. He will try and bring civil war because of the division. DIVISION – 

Jesus is dividing (look at all the leaders exposed for nefarious activities), dividing cattle from cattle like He said (sheep from sheep) See Ezekiel 34

Do you suppose that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No, but rather division: For from this time on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. [Lk 12:51-53]

Do you think there are those who want to start a civil war? Does a government want control with martial law in place? Is the plan to 'divide and conquer', or to cause division to destroy the country as we know it, to establish the 10 kingdoms spoken of in the Bible?

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: [Mat 12:25] 

Trust! God's got this...
always has...always will

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. 

And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. [Ps 20:7; 9:10]  ESV

for His glory

The Great Irreconcilable Divide

(Updated: September 28, 2025: Under subtitle - Jesus is the Hero, the second paragraph speaks of the "good witch" from the Wizard of Oz. Let it be made perfectly clear that there is no such thing as a 'good witch' - Satan is a liar.

It was written that way because in the movie the question about "good witch" or "bad witch" is brought up. Whenever the character is mentioned in any writeups, she is referred to as the "good witch of the North". Witchcraft is called an abomination to God; therefore, it is evil. Update 2 days later: September 30, 2025: Clarification added BP)

Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. [Lk 12:51-52]

He also said to the crowds, When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming.' And so it happens. [vs 54]

You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? [vs56] ESV

Jesus is the Hero

Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, He shall come, says the LORD of hosts. [Mal 3:1]

El Shaddai, Yahweh of Israel, the one true, living God is moving across the lands of the world. Exalt Jesus [Yeshua] – not man (not any one person). This world has always wanted a hero to look up to. 

1963     ----     2008     -----     2025
Marvel Girl aka Jean Grey from X-Men --- now Jean Grey 

Superman, Thor, Spiderman, Ironman, Jean Grey [Marvel Girl- the New X-Men], Hulk, Wonder Woman, Batman, Captain America, (and for the dark side: Merlin, Glinda (the 'good witch'-Wizard of Oz), Harry Potter, et al) are just some of the heroes that have been 'pushed' on the Millennial generation and Gen Z generation. And I do mean pushed! (brainwashed; programmed)

Those in power behind the scenes, the ones who treasure the words "global elite", are pushing hard to corrupt our youth, who are our future. Yes, the so-called 'elite' are manipulating and controlling things in every arena in life.

This is being accomplished in concentrated efforts to [collectively] "mold them" into the image of the coming Antichrist of all antichrists (Satan the counterfeiter is molding the unsaved in mockery and defiance because the 'saved' [born-again, Holy spirit-filled] souls are being 'molded' into Jesus' image [Rom 8:29]). 

Hercules - 17th Century

Phantom - 1936

Superman - 1938

Everyone loves a hero. This world is desperate for truth, and for strong leadership in the right direction. We need someone who will end violence and establish peace. Someone who will replace hatred with love and unity; and lawlessness with respect for law and order. In other words, we need Jesus - the Creator  of all!

Let me just add: it is not just those generations that sought (seek) a hero because it began long ago. However, the number of hero figures has increased as well as the emphasis on their 'supernatural powers'.

We have the best, but what does it take to toss the rose-coloured glasses off to see reality? Our hero is Jesus/Yeshua who laid down His sinless life for the people of the world and for all our sins (For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory) [Rom 3:23]

Christ was the only one worthy to offer Himself as a pure sacrifice in order to atone for the sins of mankind, grant forgiveness and reconcile us back to a holy God. [Rom 3:24-25]

Merlin (King Arthur story), Glinda, the "good witch" in the 'Wizard of Oz' and Harry Potter were thrown into the mix because of the seducing spirits loosed into the world in order to tempt the masses, not to mention the alluring attraction witchcraft has on people. 

seducing spirits tempt

To multitudes who are deceived, witchcraft promises the power and control required to satisfy their passions, desires, and needs. Many believe they can actually help people with it; others have ulterior motives (to fulfill fleshly desires) - some claim it is for good, but the root is carnal. Witchcraft has no 'good' in it. Evil is evil.

To honour a man [or woman] who touched lives for Jesus Christ is noble, and there is nothing wrong with that. It has been done throughout history. For all the people who showed up at the memorial (people do want to be a part of history too, even if it is to say, "I was there"), I must admit that I was surprised to read about the volumes of people who confessed they had never even heard of either Charlie Kirk or his wife before this tragedy (self included); 90,000 people attended .

I must have seen his face before because I recognized it, but I would never have been able to say who he was before this event. Like everyone else, I marvelled at the number of people who admitted to turning the pages in a Bible for the first time ever, or for opening one for the first time in ages. 

Erika Kirk also stated that there were people who asserted that they had shown up at church for the first time ever. Others declared that they prayed for the first time since childhood. To see Jesus exalted is something that every Christian should be rejoicing about: if not, please check your heart. Jesus was lifted high!

Suddenly and unexpectedly -- the Spirit of the Lord moved [Joel 2 and Acts 2]. God promised that His Spirit would be "poured out" in the last days. That was witnessed around the globe. That ought to make people pay attention because no one can deny that it happened.

To see Jesus honoured and lifted high for all the world to see is really what it is all about. But there are still a few things going on that I do find troubling. I will not be posting them here at this time, but I daresay, we all need to take heed.

Again, to honour a person for their stand for Jesus is one thing, although before the memorial service, there were many videos showing his political debating, along with some questionable comments regarding race, Trump vs Harris, and other political rhetoric. 

But since the memorial, most (but not all) the clips and videos where Kirk did speak about Jesus are being highlighted. It depends if people liked Kirk or disliked (some hated) him. The position of the poster in reference to politics and/or religion definitely depends upon their emotional bias. Yet people swear they want truth. 

We all do, but to go a step further, we must do some critical thinking. Do we only want the truth we agree with, or are comfortable with? Or are we willing to accept 'truth' that opposes what we were originally taught or accepted? Although the news media often veers away from truth, CBC appeared to lean more on the truthful side when they said that the memorial was a mix of politics and religion. 

I refrain, out of respect, from posting more at this time. Respect for a grieving widow (who is also a sister in Christ) and her two little children, who are much too young to understand the reality of what has happened, or to even comprehend death or where their "daddy" is. 

Jesus Christ is the only one who knows all things. If we want to be honourable in our position, and truthful in our view, and keen in our discernment, we need to seek Jesus. We need the guidance, the instructions, the accurate discernment of the Holy Spirit. I will explain that much at least in the next article.

People do need to be careful not to exalt Charlie Kirk up to the same level as Jesus Christ. Supporters will refute that statement, but emotions almost always override logic. Right now, emotions are high, but will settle soon. They always do.

Yes, as many of his friends and loyal supporters stated, Charlie Kirk was a soldier of the cross, but he too needed a Savior. People have said he is a Moses; and others that he is a Stephen (the first martyr). 

Stephen [a deacon] was martyred (brutally stoned until he died) for criticizing the religious leaders for the murder of the [ancient] prophets, and for not accepting Jesus/Yeshua as the Messiah...NOT for political debate; there was no mixture. 

Accusing Stephen of blasphemy, an angry mob of Jews and furious leaders from various synagogues [Hellenistic], overcome with emotion, dragged the deacon out of the city and stoned him until dead. 

It was about blasphemy, not politics. Yet, some people may get upset if these things are said. However, it is not disrespect; it is simply a fact.

Message (Begins)

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will HEAR from heaven, I will FORGIVE their sins, and HEAL their land.

Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive in this place. For now, I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time. [2Chron 7:14-16] Amen!

I AM moving across this continent, moving across the globe. Do not forget the brethren embracing [clinging by faith to] their Saviour, My Son, whilst under heavy persecution. It shall come to this land too (and already it has begun). These are the days that are as the one spoken of in Joel 2 and Acts 2.

Yet even now, declares the Lord, return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, with mourning, and rend your hearts and not your garments.

Return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and He relents over disaster. [Joel 2:12, 13] KJV

For behold, in those days and at that time, I shall restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem. I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.

And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of My people and My heritage Israel, for they have scattered them among the nations, and divided My land, and have cast lots for My people, and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it. [Joel 3:1-2]

[BRIEF NOTE for clarity: I understood that the Spirit of God is moving across the world, not just America. He is calling for repentance, surrender and obedience, for He has work for His servants (sons and daughters) in the fields [harvest is ripe].  

Return to the Lord. The Lord judges the nations. His people are scattered around the world! Beware of the vultures

Now is the time that He has been preparing us for; all these long seasons, and for some, all these long decades…He showed me multitudes in are in the “valley of decision”. I am sure He has shown others because our Saviour, our Messiah/Christ still feeds the multitudes with little. His Word is food (it is Bread of life). Jesus IS the Word, come in the flesh. [Jn 1:14]

Jesus still feeds the multitudes
with little

(Jesus fed over 5000 until they were wholly satisfied, with just five loaves of bread and two fish. The Bible does not say the size; people like to say they were small for dramatic effect, but the fact that so many were fed with so little is dramatic enough.

Not only 5000 were fed, but the women and children they brought with them were fed also. And if that were not enough, the disciples gathered twelve (12) basketsful of the leftovers. [Mat14:17-21]

Message (con't)

Proclaim this among the nations. Consecrate [prepare] for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: Let the weak say, “I am a warrior.” [Jerusalem Bible]

“Let the weak say, I am strong. [ESV – English Standard Version]

Hasten and come, all your surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your warriors, O Lord. Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. He vast overflow, for their evil is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

(My comment below: BP)

"The sun and the moon darkened and the stars with draw their shining": This speaks of a time when nature itself will bow under the Sovereign and Providential hand of Almighty God. Yet, will the sun and moon not be darkened also in a time of war? Will the stars not be hidden under the cloud of explosions?

The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem and the heavens and the earth quake. But the Lord is a refuge to His people, a stronghold to the people of Israel. So you shall know that I AM the Lord your God who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. [Joel 2:9-17]

Myself (and I’m sure many others), have been praying for years to be a labourer in the fields, "Here am I. Send me. [Is 6:8] People have been repeating Isaiah's words for as long as I can remember. Before I even knew the words were in the Bible, I heard countless believers earnestly parrot the prophet's words. I remember being impressed, thinking how powerful the words were - and they are!

I know the time came where I was finally mature in Christ, as well as truly surrendered, and I too echoed those words. We are sheep and long to follow our Master. When you love, trust and honour your Commander, you become a willing vessel, even if it means martyrdom. 

Greater love has no man than this; to lay down their life for a friend. [Jn 15:13](the apostle John was speaking about Messiah Jesus ). Indeed, we long to be in Christ's service in whatever way we will be most effective, while still remaining in God's will. 

Writing a friend recently (around the same time all this happened), I shared my discouragement in having written these past 17 years on the blog, and three years before that on random sites (for a total of 20 years online) and heavy-hearted as I asked myself what I have accomplished for the Lord.

Surprisingly, my friend had had a conversation with a relative of theirs along the same lines. It seemed that very same thought was moving around communities and even countries in synchronicity. What have we done for Christ?

I can hear some now, but wait, it’s not about works. Unless you live in a place with no technology, no media outlets, there was no escaping the constant reporting of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like him or not, there was no way to ignore the fact that he was killed. It happened in front of thousands of youth.

That is not what is behind the thought. The positive publicity has motivated people at a time when people have been expressing weariness and depression; so yes,  people are reflecting. 

At any rate, the statement about ‘works’ pertains to salvation, not what we do out of obedience to Christ or out of faith in Jesus. Salvation absolutely is a free gift. That is NOT what this is about. Faith does have works my friend. The fruit of faith will be works. [Jam 2:18]

Now is the time to choose. Now is the time to stand strong, united - one in Jesus.

We are not alone in this earnest desire and the inward groaning to do more for the Father in Jesus 'name. We are tired of this truth-starved, violent, deceptive world. We long to snatch people away from the shores of the fiery pit the devil has kept them in bondage to. 

Look up, your redemption draws near. The sincere ache [the inward groaning of believers] is born out of a thankful heart belonging to those of us who continue to grow in understanding (and who have learned [typically the hard way]) the urgent need for salvation (for all people), and the freedom and joy that comes from having the heavy burden of sin and  (caused by sins and the resulting evil) is cut loose. The peace that passes all understanding occurs - unexplainable.

Your frame will continue shaking, but in a good way, as we work out our salvation with fear and trembling. It is all part of growing pains and the excitement of knowing our Creator. 

One who does not yet know that the heavy burden caused by our sins, and the deep, nagging emptiness in the soul is a void that can only be filled by a loving Saviour. Yes, it can only be fully satisfactory when we repent with godly sorrow [deep, sincere, repulsed], turning away from sickening sins, and to be forgiven by a holy and just God. The joy comes  when we get to know the intimate agape love of a heavenly Father, through the Saviour/Redeemer Jesus (Yeshua).

I am confident that we have entered into the time that we were being prepared for during all these long, hard seasons. The waiting period is almost over for many...but like it or not, there is a cost to this walk. 

There always was. Remember the rich man who wanted to follow Jesus - the one thing he could not surrender, or let go of, was his wealth. He was very rich and owned much. He was very heavy-hearted as he walked away.

What is it for you - a person? something you own? a career? position? Anything that we cannot surrender or walk away from is an idol. An idol is anything that takes the place of God or comes before God. God at the right hand, something or someone dearly loved on the left hand. Which will you choose? 

For what does it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. [Mat 16:26-27]

Even if you are a fairly new or young Christian, but are determined (not thru emotionalism, but thru conviction of the Holy Spirit) to serve Christ in bringing more of lost, hurting, proud and/or deceived souls, held captive by the dark side,  into the glorious kingdom of Jesus, let it be known that right now the fields are ripe all around this damaged world - but the labourers are few.

We all have fallen short of the glory of God, but God provided a way through. As soon as mankind fell, right after the deceived woman tempted her husband Adam to disobey, and he did, Yahweh announced the plan He intended to carry out through Jesus the Anointed One [Christ]. [Gen 3:15]

Come and taste the goodness of God, the faithfulness of Jesus, become familiar with the undeserved mercy and grace, and the indescribable agape love. There is a very real adversary, Satan, the devil, along with his evil agents who will try and keep you away from Jesus. Ask the Lord for strength to help you to resist until you are stronger. Read the Word - faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD of God. [Rom 10:17]

We long to do the will of God once we have come to the place of surrender, and our hearts are filled with love. Jesus teaches us how to love like Him; we learn to see with His eyes, hear with His ears, and have a heart like His. 

Our fallen [carnal] nature is not capable of God's kind of love [agape] It is a process, so do not get discouraged. The Lord is doing a quick work. That is why we are seeing such a clash of the kingdoms. 

The Lord warned the clash - bless His Holy written Word. Time is  being shortened as each day passes - hallelujah! It is His love for us that motivates us - and we delight to follow in the steps of Christ.

The testimonies during this long wait have been  inspiring, encouraging all of us to rise up when we get weary (and to pray for one another as we watch.)

Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus/Yeshua gives us strength over these past years, as we went through whatever it is we must (individually) go through. Lean on Him - trust Him. Stay in the Word - ever grateful for the rescue that started us on the right path.

The Great Irreconcilable Divide

the irreconcilable divide -
light versus darkness
good versus evil; truth versus deception

Persecution comes for the clash of the kingdoms has intensified. This is the furthering of the great irreconcilable divide across all the nations of the world is that the good Lord warned us about! Light versus darkness; good versus evil, truth versus deception!

In 2012 He said the back of America is broken; the land is greatly divided. Back then, I wondered if it would be a split of all 50 states, or would it be an earthquake...I did not have all the answers. I merely passed a message along.

Yahweh warned years ago that He was going to be separating cattle from cattle; sheep from sheep [Ezek 34] And He warned recently last year about Jezebel, the spirit of Judas running amuck.

Those who surrender themselves fully to advance the kingdom of Jesus on one side; those who oppose any mention of Jesus Christ clearly on the opposing side. This is spiritual polarization.

More violence will be released as hatred for those in authority escalates and ripples throughout the nation. 

Satan always retaliates when one of his plans backfires. He thought he would ruin a nation, but he fanned the flames of faith instead that spread rapidly around the globe due to the internet and social media.

Truly , truly I say to you that he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to My Father. [Jn14:12]

There will be a ripping apart as the divide becomes deeper. The great tribulation is almost here.

Choose this day whom you will serve.

Final thought: I get the sense that once emotions calm down, as it always does, anger is going to be seen in ways we do not want to see. 

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. [Eph 6:12]

The enemy needs bodies to possess and there are those willing to be his vessels...but  this life is temporal, as are these bodies. Jesus won the war on the cross, and it was sealed when He was resurrected from the dead. "It is finished!"

Having blotted out the handwriting in the decrees against us, which was  adverse to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 

And having disarmed the powers and authorities [principalities and powers], He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. [Col 2:14-15] BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

Those of us who have lost loved ones, or know someone who did, we know that grieving has many faces, many pitstops and starts, a rollercoaster effect, waves of emotions to still, dry land, to unexplainable spurts...

I will reserve further comments at this time. Too many are emotionally moved still. There IS one thing I do thank GOD ALONE, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (the GODHEAD), and that is --- thank You Lord for all those who turned to YOU in this dark hour.

ministries for overseas brethren

Your glory caused it to shine, holy King and Lord. Jesus, You are high and lifted up as the one exalted. nearly every speaker mentioned your name. Erika made sure you received the glory due Your holy name - none can deny that, and if they do, they prove themselves a liar. Whether you liked Kirk or not, Jesus was honoured. Satan lost that battle, but we are still in the war.

I join the millions who pray for the family (Erika, children, parents, relatives), friends, and associates of Charlie Kirk. To You be all the glory, praise and honour Jesus/Yeshua - let us carry on for we have no other god before you

I posted the following scripture just shy of two weeks ago (Sept.20), but it is worth posting again. God's Word nurtures the soul.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. [Ps 116:15]

Please be a comfort to the families of the persecuted mercilessly and senselessly (executed, martyred, assassinated) overseas, as well by remembering them in prayer. I believe in the power of prayer. Look in the scriptures and see how many times El Shaddai (God Almighty) responded to the prayers of people. Many of us can feel it in our spirit when people are praying, as well as the harsh and cold feeling when prayer is absent; people have gotten too busy. It happens... 

I am not alone in the hurt that is felt for our brethren overseas also. Multitudes have family still across the waters. It is not always just for having a Christian faith that many in foreign lands are killed, but many times people are slaughtered for political and cultural reasons as well. 

Charlie Kirk was a Christian who boldly announced his faith, but he was also an American right-wing conservative political activist, influencer and podcaster. Christian nationalists in the United States view Charlie Kirk a martyr, as well as a Trump supporter/ally.

His strategy (as an entrepreneur) was clever. He founded (TPUSA-Turning Point USA) which has been described as a non-profit organization and a political advocacy group. The organization states their mission as: "to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government."

Kirk visited college and university campuses around the States to debate them about cultural topics as well as religion, and persuade them through debates to support both conservative views and Donald Trump (he always gave away MAGA hats)

There he would have culture battles, which were known as debates, where he challenged the youth (Prove Me Wrong) with topics such as same-sex marriage, abortion, Trump vs Harris, racial issues, gun laws, and much more.

So, there is the physical side of it all, where carnal nature can come in to play.. But the other reality is that this is a global spiritual battle, as I have been expressing on here for 17 years...and so have many others. 

We need to remember it is war in the spirit realm where the casualties are seen in the physical realm. The family of God extends a lot further than the United States...but if it is not near us, we can forget quickly.

Let us remember that our brethren are being persecuted around the world. And let the good Lord continue His good work in us - let us be about our Father's business.

Father be with Your people globally, in Jesus' name. May Your perfect will be done.

For His glory alone
