Celebration of Life - Phil Robertson

 [NOTE*: New update: Oct 2025 -Quick Word

After posting this, it came to my attention that there are folks who say the Robertson family believe in a 'works' salvation, or that one has to be 'baptized' to be saved.

I would never agree with that and wondered if I posted prematurely. I did do some checking into the Robertson beliefs, but it was not in great depth. As stated when I first posted, I had heard of Duck Dynasty, but I had them mixed up with someone else and never watched them.

Curiosity got to me after the father, the head of the Robertson household, passed on, and I watched a few videos. The love that was shown for Christ, for other family members, as well as for the general public, was heart-warming and scriptural, so yes, my desire was for them to be blessed with support from fellow believers to help make their loss somehow lighter. I set up an honourary tribute.

When complaints came in, and with further searching, I will be leaving the tributes in place. The Robertsons indeed put much emphasis on baptism, but nowhere have I found it to be said, either in text or video, that without baptism one cannot be saved. If anyone has evidence, please bring it. 

Against an elder, receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. [1Tim 5:19]

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. [2Cor 13:1]

Six verses in the Bible instruct us on how to judge something. The wording about a matter being established in the mouth of two or three witnesses is a fair assessment. Only one has mentioned the Robertsons being false teachers who insist upon baptism by water as being a part of salvation.

It is written:

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house. [Acts 16:30-31]

I think we should be concerned about the "real wolves", instead of trying to find dirt on every believer. We are (none of us) perfect; only Christ Jesus was. It is written that we all fall short (or fell short) of God's glory. 

In these vessels of flesh that are born with the carnal nature, we will not reach perfection, but after we are born-again and [Holy] Spirit-filled, we work it out daily, picking up that spiritual cross and 'dying to self'

Took me forever to really understand the meaning of it, and when a pastor was asked, it was simply 'die to self', act like you are dead. I laughed, and he said, "Seriously, just pretend you are dead - forget drinking, drugs, sex outside of marriage, you are dead to 'self'". 

And that was the explanation. I understood "no sex, drugs, or rock 'n roll" basically. I grew up hearing that is what we DO do...I was just behind the hippie generation. Or rather, picking up the tossed flowers, headbands, and peace signs that got dropped on the ground on some LSD trip, or when they were hitting up or snorting smack (heroin) or speed [methamphetamine].

The best way I know how to explain dying to self is by looking to Jesus and hearing His words. Two commandments He gave us. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, being, and love others as yourself. He said all the commandments hang on those two; they are the foundation (the law and the prophets). 

The other major thing He taught (everything He said is important and significant), but He told us to lose our life, in order to gain it. So, the first step in 'crucifying' yourself is to put God first and obey Him out of the love we have for Him. We lay down our will, and do His will.

When Jesus accepted His mission, He said, Not My will, but Your will be done. [Lk 22:42] Yeshua/Jesus willingly gave up (surrendered) His very life for all of mankind, for all who have faith to believe.

The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and 'pride' of life [1Jn 2:16] contained in our worldly ways and fleshly nature must be nailed spiritually to the cross. All of our passions, emotions, logic, hopes, dreams, desires -everything) is laid at the foot of the cross.

We try to do this daily... and too many times, it is more often moment by moment, or step by step. If we fail at times (which all of us do), we do not give up and say, to heck with it, I cannot do it. 

We have a helper. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help us. Let's not forget to mention that Jesus Christ is our Advocate in the courts of heaven, where the accuser of the brethren likes to appear to accuse us of our sins.

It is akin to a defense lawyer (Jesus/Yeshua) and the prosecutor (Satan) and the judge (El Shaddai/Adonai) having a 'discussion' in the judge's chambers. All discussion is "off the record" and will not be recorded in the heavenly books, unless otherwise determined by the final outcome or decision of the 'judge'.

It is not for us to be present. There is a big teaching on the "courts of heaven", but I am surely not getting into it here.

I will close this portion off with this. There was no evidence that I could find that proves the Robertsons believe in a 'works' salvation, or that you have to be water baptized in order to be saved. I consider them brethren in Jesus Christ.

Do I believe in water baptism, or do I believe we should be water baptized? Absolutely! We are instructed to do so. It is symbolic of "death to the old man" (our sinful nature), and being born-again (resurrected as a new man in Jesus Christ).

Going down in the water is symbolic of burial, submergence is symbolic of being buried with Jesus, and coming back up out of the water symbolizes the resurrection - a new life in Jesus Christ. And just as Jesus was resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, when we come back up out of the water, we are baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Sheesh...I get choked up just at the remembrance of it. Yes, I have been water-baptized. When I came back up, I swore I heard horses' hooves thundering (no,  I was not drunk and neither were the 120 on the day of Pentecost lol). I just heard it in the spiritual -- and knew Jesus is on His way back.

The pastor might have wanted to put me back under for a moment to collect myself ...

My three children were water-baptized also. The decision was theirs. They were not forced, but I did have to be sure they understood what it was, meaning they had to understand what the water baptism symbolized. They did. 

My son was the youngest. He was 10 years old at the time. My daughters were 12, and my eldest was 16 years old. They well understood and freely chose.

Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [Acts 2:38]

Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [Mat 28:19]

If it turns out that I am wrong (there must be two or three witnesses, according to scripture), then I shall recant, and may even write them. Let us be quicker to clasp our fingers together in prayer for someone than to so quickly point a gnarly finger the wrong way. Let us check for planks in our eyes...

Let us watch out for the real wolves, and let us be watchmen on the wall, ready to stand guard as protectors of the flock, keeping our shields up to guard our hearts. Let us love as we are told to love...but do not be afraid to shake the dust off your sandals if that is what must be done too. May God grant us all increased discernment!  

Let us exalt Christ Jesus. You are high and lifted up Lord - we bless You

ADDED: Pictures of Phil Robertson and family - 

June 2025

ALSO ADDED: At the end, added small section about activist Greta Thunberg and what is being called a "media gimmick", regarding IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) kidnapping them as they brought food to Gaza. I agree it is a to gain attention and promote more antisemitism and violent riots with protesters. BP-June9.2025]

  

Phil and Phyllis - daughter

There are enough videos to glean from, but apparently, A&E is picking it back up: Duck Dynasty: The Revival 2025. Willie (one of Phil's four sons) says: (The show) was a light in a dark place (referring to all the shows online that oppose Christ and Christianity and exalt evil and immorality) - BP]

And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you. [Jn 16:22] words of Jesus/Yeshua

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [Rom 12:15]

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. [1Jn 3:2]

He that said he abides in Him ought also [himself] to walk, even as He walked. [1Jn 2:6]

Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in Him, and He in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has toward us. God is love; and He that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. [1Jn 4:13-16]

The only downside is the commercials that YouTube interrupts the service with.

It really is a celebration – but more than that, much more.

It is a testimony of Jesus the Christ, Yeshua Mashiach – who came and set the captives free!

 

The ONLY way back
to the Father is through
Jesus/Yeshua

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty [freedom] to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

 

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He [Jesus/Yeshua] might be glorified.  [Isaiah 61:1-3]

Update on Miss Kay's Health

In 2017, Miss Kay was diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (scarring on lungs) – a serious lung condition (makes breathing difficult). It is considered incurable.

At the prompting of his daughter, Phyllis, Phil bought his wife a necklace, a beautiful silver fleur-de-lis. It is the symbol of purity. What an exceptional gift to give the wife handpicked by God! The story is told at the ‘celebration’ service.

However, more recently, Miss Kay got a cut when she fell back in April, and suffered from an infection. (Full story by clicking link below)

Excerpt from: KTLA.com/news

Speaking with TV Insider, Korie Robertson (Willie Robertson’s wife) said her mother-in-law had been “struggling with a lot of falls.”

“I think she forgets that she can’t really walk, so she’ll fall, and that’s been hard to deal with,” she told the outlet.

[Phil Robertson ]– close to his last words, according to Willie, were: “Love fully; serve humbly, and never let go of family or beliefs.”

Robertson clan

That reminds me of one of my favourite Bible verses (all my verses are favourites, it just depends when I am using them lol): However, it reminds me of this:

He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. [Micah 6:8]

Son Willie Robertson gave an update on Miss Kay’s health [Phil’s beloved wife of 59 years] [January 11, 1966]. As of June 9, 2025, it is reported by her son Willie that Miss Kay Robertson is “not in the best of health”, and they are “trying to help her”.  She is also fighting ‘depression’, understandably so after her beloved husband of nearly 60 years passed away.

May the good Lord be with the entire Robertson clan and all their beloved friends and acquaintances at this time. May He especially care for Miss Kay at this time.

Activist Greta Thunberg and 'friends'
aboard the Madleen
("Mad" is an appropriate name)

Greta Thunberg is back in the spotlight again. She became famous for her "how dare you?" question when speaking at the UN [United Nations] in 2019 and the WEF [World Economic Forum] in 2021, over the world leaders' failing to do much about climate change.

How dare you?

one minute--partying
Trance-Nova music festival
Gaza 2023

We all know the story of the 360 murders of people of all ages at the Nova music festival, not to mention the kidnappings, the taking of hostages. Over 1200 people have been reported killed. October 7, 2023 marked the beginning of Israel-Hamas war.

next ---running for cover

Although the entire world was shocked at first at the horrific attack on the innocent people killed, tortured, and raped at the festival, it did not take long before the world turned on Israel. There are so many conflicting stories. Antisemitism is at an all-time high, just as foretold in the Bible.

There is video evidence that Israel is letting humanitarian aid through, but there have been other videos showing the interception and halting of aid.

However, Greta Thunberg is guaranteed to go down in history. A video clip was released with Greta Thunberg introducing herself and stating:

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, it means that we have been intercepted and kidnapped on international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel. I urge all my friends, family, and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and others as soon as possible."

The boat called the Madleen, was carrying aid to Gaza, with intents to "raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis there." Once again, people are coming against Israel for intercepting and calling the boat a "selfie yacht".

My head spins over the hatred, the lies and the deception filling this earth. Betrayal and deception were two words strongly placed upon my heart, and I know of two families hit, mine being one of them.

Satan and his legions hate God and all His children, not only the Israelites, but also the Body of Christ in particular. However, it is all of God's creation that the enemy seeks to destroy, but my point is that he first targets God's people.

The war is real, but God has armies of holy angels that are far more powerful than all of Satan's armies.

 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [Rev 12:7-9]

For I will defend this city, to save it, for My own sake, and for My servant David's sake.

And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand (185,000): and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. [2Kings19:34-35]

God will defend us also. I know of four times that angels intervened at God's command and literally saved me from accidents that would have either killed me or seriously injured me. (The third time it happened, I had a witness.)

El Shaddai is very much involved in our lives today, and we have Jesus/Yeshua to thank for that. For all of eternity, we will be able to thank Him, and live in His presence. What a glorious hope to look forward to!

For He shall give His angel charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. [Ps 91:11]

Are they [angels] not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. [Heb 1:14]

for His glory alone

War in the Air- Witchcraft in the Fog_PART 7

 (NOTE*: Edited, corrections - 24 hours, update - with further explanations for clarity. End-Jan 20.2025 BP

A Fast Proclaimed

Is this not the fast that I have chosen?? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? [Is 58:6]

As promised, I would like to briefly speak about fasting and what it means to me. It is strange, but I remember thinking that Christianity was very simple, and everyone believed the same thing. I was so wrong! That is another story.

Every time the people recorded in the Bible called for a fast, it was typically in a state of humility, and a great need for godly help. The flesh was humbled before a Mighty God [El Shaddai]. Divine intervention, wisdom and instruction were the urgent petitions of Queen Esther, Mordecai and the entire nation of the Jewish people who humbly sought their God, for their country, nation, or tribe – to win a physical war, and a spiritual battle, to change the unchangeable, such as that which the wicked Haman brought to the Jews. A miracle was needed!

Haman was a high-ranking official, the king's chief minister. His evil intent was genocide, which was brought into law by the king and SEALED with the royal signet ring [Esther 3:12], on the thirteenth [13] (number for rebellion) day of the first month. The seal meant that the order was 'irreversible' [cannot be revoked]. However, in His providence, the Sovereign Yahweh provided a loophole. 

a state of humility in an urgent matter
a nationwide fast is called by Queen Esther

Queen Esther requested that her personal maidens and all the Jews [spoken to by Mordecai on Esther's behalf], fast with her and to humble themselves before God. Haman had set in motion an order to annihilate all the Jewish nation. The fast required humility on behalf of all, men and women alike, including the queen herself. The prayers would include pleas for mercy and justice, and for God's intervention, as only He could do.

He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? [Micah 6:8]

Like everything in life, balance is required. There will always be folks who take things to extremes. I believe in speaking God’s word back to Him, such as the prayers of Moses, Elijah, David, Esther, Jeremiah, Daniel…all these who prayed did indeed pray godly prayers.

The prayers are so anointed and beautiful, so filled with purity and truthfulness, lifting up the Lord, so obviously led by the Spirit of the living God. Throughout my writings, readers will see where exhortations are written to “speak life” and to “stand on God’s Word”. This is an example of what is meant, dear souls.

It is not meant as the prosperity preachers teach, which is to command things into existence or to override even the will of God to achieve a desired outcome. Only God is God, and none is beside Him.

Repeating the powerful prayers contained within the Bible is speaking life. It is standing on God's Word, a sure and solid foundation. Some verses are spiritual weapons against the invisible enemy, Satan and his legions. In Ephesians 6, we are taught about the armour of God and what each piece is. 

When [spiritual] war is in the air, the Word of God cuts through any dense fog or wall the enemy may build through witchcraft. 

For the Word of God is alive and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. [Heb 4:12]

When resistance opposes us, such as through witchcraft, we fight back by speaking the Word, which has authority over all power of the enemy, doing so in and by the name of Jesus the Christ. The Word of God is our sword. When we resist the devil, as we walk in the Spirit, the devil must flee. [Jam 4:7]

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I AM in the midst of them. [Mat 18:20]

Prayer has gone up earnestly for 33 hostages, but also for the soldiers. There is a ceasefire needed. Gaza and Israel need Jesus, and the peace that passes all understanding. Shalom in Yeshua - Jesus!   

Do not hesitate to use the Word of God for it is indeed that two-edged sword. In the fog of battle, where confusion abounds, the Word cuts through the fog, thereby accomplishing the will of God.    

Again, I do NOT mean it in the way the WolF (Word of Faith) or NAR teachers mean it. Those are false doctrines where the WORD is spoken, so one hears 'truth', but the twist changes the meaning.

Remember the example I gave? Perhaps you missed the article, but if you have ever wondered how Satan/Lucifer can speak the same words as those written in the Bible, or spoken as Jesus or the Holy Spirit spoke, and STILL distort the meaning, bringing deception. Here is the example I gave (quite simply)

ORIGINAL (God): Fluoride-free  [Meaning: 'does not contain fluoride]= TRUTH

TWISTED (Satan): Free fluoride [Meaning: 'no charge/cost - it is free]= Deception

That is how simply Satan does it. He 'simply' turns things around in the clever, cunning and subtle way that he does, to deceive.

We do not create things with our words, yet I do believe life and death are in the power of the tongue, and that those who love it will eat the fruit thereof (bear the consequences of their words). [Prov 18:21]

Our words can be malicious weapons used to destroy a tender soul, corrupt a trusting mind, or kill hope as well as the spirit of a tender soul. How many times has someone said something to you that crushed your spirit, brought stinging tears rapidly to the brim of the eyes, or left you raw with sudden anger?

Yet, on the other hand, we can edify, restore hope, trust and love, stimulate growth and inspire a soul to rise up and press onward, simply through encouragement. 

We can assassinate a character, shred apart confidence, stir up a 'spiritual' hornet's nest in a soul, or we can melt the hardest heart with understanding, minister love to a rejected spirit, or restore confidence that was robbed.  That is what is meant by the power of life and death being in the tongue.

WE can do this as a people born with a carnal (sinful) nature. A tragedy occurred in a garden when a talking serpent deceived a woman, who in turn convinced a man to disobey God. We inherited the fallen nature through the first man and first woman [Adam and Eve].

So, yes, we can do this, but let us NOT do it. Let us tread carefully [walk circumspectly, gingerly, cautiously] as born-again, Spirit-filled Christians. Let us be examples, no MATTER what age. Do not let people put you down for your age, saying, "you are too young" or "you are too old."

We are to lead by example. That, my friends, can be at any age. It is not easy sometimes; we are fallible. And sometimes the burdens we carry are too heavy, but that is when we must lay down pride, and cry out to Jesus who tells us to cast our cares upon Him.

 Some say the young are too young, or the old are too old, and most of those who are left [mid-life] are too busy with life. Well, isn't that a fine "howdy-do"! What's left if we remove the young, the old, and the in-between?

So they say that only specially chosen, enlightened ones who are 'woke', such as themselves, will be the best examples. Hogwash and puppy poop. Yes, I am being nice - controlling what I would most likely say "off paper" (so to speak). Sighh

Some things are worth repeating. Think twice before you lash out at someone. Hold back on the phony flatteries (usually those with a secret agenda go down the 'flattery' trail). 

Flatteries are insincere, exaggerated praise to build up pride; the words hide behind ulterior motives. Encouragement is humble and sincere, intending to build up and strengthen. 

People can use destructive (opposite of constructive) criticisms, kill or assassinate one's character with lies, destroy hope through betrayals or with false accusations, or manipulate or twist words to mean something completely different. Some can deceive them through fake smiles and those flatteries. Hence, they speak "death".

Encouragement never has an agenda; the intent and motives are faith, hope and love; these build. Encouragement strengthens us spiritually, whereas flatteries stroke the carnal nature. Never mistake encouragement for flattery.

Daniel said the lawless one (son of perdition) will win people over (deceive the people) with smooth words and flatteries [Dan 11:32] - Daniel said it best when he said the lawless one will "corrupt" by flatteries... beware of those who stroke your ego and give you bouquets of colourful flatteries.

It is the work of the flesh (carnal, sinful nature) and the devil. The two work together because the devil caused the flesh to fall (from glorified to the carnal, sinful nature) in the Garden of Eden. Every single one of us has fallen short of God’s glory.

Without the intent to sound like a broken recording, I have been repetitive down through the decades for good reason:

[1] when directed by the Lord, as this is His website - He allows me to sweep the halls and clean the restrooms lol - Joking aside; some of the prophetic messages have taken time and seasons before coming to fruition. 

For example, "Now it begins" was 2012 (Nov 6)—the downhill slope with its events leading us to the great tribulation. Early in 2013 (Jan/Feb), it was the "time of revealing," meaning things hidden coming into light, step by step.

It had already begun. Remember Benny Hinn and Paula White in 2010? Robert Bell in 2011? And it is building momentum...as the LORD said (I know nothing of the future by myself - nothing). Things are going to be exposed - revealed.

In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trampled one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, 

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 

Therefore, whatsoever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. [Lk 12:1-3]

Only [El Shaddai] knows the end from the beginning. [Is 46:10] All we are experiencing - all of this - has already happened to Him...He is the Creator of time/space; He is not controlled or limited by it.

 (I was led to post the red curtain with the white-gloved hand pulling back the curtain that exposes the darkness behind it back in 2012 - because Jesus is going to pull back the 'proverbial' curtain and reveal what has been hidden.)

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. [1Cor 4:5]

It has 'snowballed' so quickly, people are flabbergasted. "Now momentum builds"...the Lord has said. People are not calling it the "time of revealing" though. It seems that they are calling it "time of exposure".

The Lord has never given me dates, but His warnings are always fair and accurate. They align with His Word. If ever they are not accurate, then they were not from Him. Other times, certain events have repeated themselves. Sometimes the prophetic word is for a handful of people or a specific area. Other times it may be for limited numbers of people (Body of Christ) or a remnant, or for multitudes (believer and unbeliever alike).

For example, in 1998, I was granted a dream (a night vision) where the Lord sang over me (I did not see Him, only heard Him, or if I did see Him in the dream, I only remember His voice and the song. The song was named after scripture (now WHY would the Lord do that? lol - smile  because He IS the WORD come in the flesh)

violently shaken-mercilessly sifted
to separate the good (wheat) from 
the useless (chaff)

He sang, "Sifted Like Wheat". [Lk 12:31, 32] After nearly seven [7] years of battling for custody, I was two weeks away from winning the long battle. I did not know that at the time the song came. However, due to the father's actions toward his children, there would be nearly five [5] more years of court, but this time it would be criminal court.

This time, three young children would be in the Victim Witness Protection Program, as they became key witnesses in a case that I was yet unaware of at the time of the dream (night vision). There would also be a time when I died (no, I did not go to heaven), and a second 'near death' time approaching.

It was part of the "consequences" of my sins of adultery, rejection of Jesus, and idolatry, committed at the age of 29. Praise God, He stayed with me (as He did King David, but I still had the consequences to face. Three innocent children suffered because of my selfish choice too (my sins) - although none of them were yet born. 

I have spoken several times over the years about being "sifted as wheat", the violent shaking, the confusion, the unpredictable upheavals of being tossed "to and fro", the ups and downs of being sifted, the cutting, purging - sifting is an incredible purification/cleansing process.

In the spiritual, betrayals, false accusations, lies, hidden agendas (coverups aka denials), and fabrications. Much work and evil output came from both the enemy and the flesh (enemies of the cross, and the flesh which is at enmity with God).

If it were NOT for the prayers of the Advocate, Jesus/Yeshua, I would not have made it. Thinking back, neither would have the apostle Peter, and neither would anyone, but we do! Why? But Jesus...

Yes, prophetic messages have indeed been repeated countless times over the years, which for me began in April 1999, immediately upon the return of the children. It was personal then.

Over the years, at various times, when I posted it (some seasons can be identified by the archived "titles" which act as clues) - such seasons were corporate for God's people, or for a remnant being trained up for certain purposes. This is not in a competitive way, but it is God's way. Look throughout the scriptures. Certain people were trained for specific missions/purposes.

Houston, we have lift-off...

Most often it came with many afflictions (furnace of affliction - fiery trials), waters of separation [lonely, dark tribulations], almost overwhelming.

only Jesus-Yeshua can
fill the void - He paid for it
on the cross, with His precious blood

However, God holds us steady WHEN and IF we seek Him, which most of us learn to do rather quickly because we need Jesus/Yeshua. He is the only one to fill that empty space, that void in our hearts, which is in the shape of a cross, but we don't know that until the empty place is filled.

Many shakings have taken place over the years. There is something about silver being purified seven times, and the fire getting seven times hotter. Another shaking has recently occurred, and for many is still happening. The Bible speaks of a massive one at the end, where the heavens are scrolled back, and the sun and moon lose their light, and the stars fall. It is the major one, the last.

Miracles over the years have been mentioned, as were revivals coming in as waves, not tidal waves, but smaller waves. I can name many times my life was spared, and the lives of others have also been blessed with their own miracles. I shake my head at the wonder of Yahweh! Only Jesus --- 

[2] I do not think more highly of myself than I ought [pride can be subtle] 

Again, this is not favouritism. This is all of us being born and God having a plan - the first plan that God has for us (which I really wish people would get down in their spirit). 

When God said He has a plan for us [Jer 29;11], a plan of good (to prosper us) and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope, [prosper us, which can be mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, materially], almost all of us scurry off with a basketful of big dreams and visions.

But what about (FIRST and its a HUGE miracle) the plan of salvation? Do we think about that (I did not when I heard the verse), or how about what we truly all need, which is forgiveness of sins, cleansing by the blood of Jesus/Yeshua, reconciliation with our heavenly Father, restoration (restored to how we were originally meant to be). Glory!

Look at the self-proclaimed prophets who remind their followers that 'they' prophesied that such and such would happen. They constantly point you to the page that contains the conference or the video that declares it (such as Trump's 2nd term - hundreds showing you their countless videos or messages, on any one of the numerous social media platforms they are on.

[3] to guard my eyes in a sincere effort to keep any beam from lodging (because when they lodge, they land fast and hard), so that I can see clearly to help another. And we all need to help each other; the walk is more challenging the closer we come to the return of our Messiah and the installation of the lawless one - both events are fast approaching.

To fast for the hostages and their release, and for the ceasefire to become a reality so that Gaza and Israel can have some peace, is humbling. It could be our country devastated by constant war. It is a harder reality to walk in “fear not” as missiles go overhead, or are destroying our homes, or killing our loved ones, friends, and neighbours.

How I pray God moves on behalf of these refugees, and the people so grieved by war and losses. A sincere ‘thank you’ to those who joined in the one-day fasting and praying. May the Lord bless you doubly in the ways that you may need, for your sake, but for His glory.

Also lifted up has been a little treasure who has been pushed into the shadows by bullies who appear as giants, but do not be deceived by the illusion. Behind that vicious giant “wolf” shadow [or a big brute of a dog] is a yappy little chihuahua, or the kitten that appears to be a lion. 

Healing and Restoration

Included in my fast was a cry out for justice and judgment on behalf of a precious child (who was the tender age of five [5] at the time of SA), whose own grandmother had said something so frightening, threatening, or traumatic that the child had chosen to quit talking about the 'bad thing' that happened to her.

This would be the Daystar tragedy and scandal. Joni Lamb being the grandmother.

That betrayal tears at the very spirit of a soul; what words can describe it? What logic can make sense of it? Satan is the author of confusion, and he wholly enjoys keeping things hidden in the dark - including answers.

I pray God continues to give strength to Jonathan Lamb and his wife, Suzy, to stand their ground, granting them wisdom and strength. Jonathan is the age I was when my four-year-old went through SA in a women's shelter. Joni is a mother and chose to side with the predator. For shame! No wonder the younger generation is discouraged by the elderly.

Marriages are something I have been praying for since before I was surrendered to God. Why? Because I know what it is to be an adulteress (over 40 years ago). I honestly felt I had more rights than the 'wife' because I had been with him off and on (more 'off' than on) for five years, as opposed to her three weeks. 

He married a woman after the second day he met her, jumping through legal hoops with the right amount of cash. However, due to the LAW of reaping and sowing, I also know the betrayal (as a wife) of a husband who continues in adultery -  the same man. 

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. [Job 4:8]

He divorced the woman and married me. Horrible soap opera, only - no one was acting. Satan had his hand in it all. No one was saved, but God was going to use it all to bring me to my knees, and ultimately - to Jesus!

Yes, the Lord has had me pray for people, married couples. I have seen (and heard about) healing and restoration in marriages (not mine. The ex divorced me  nearly 30 years ago. He was living with another woman. I remain unmarried.) 

I will fight against the adversary now that the Word of God has taught me some of Satan's wickedness and strategies, but praise Jesus who continues fulfilling [Romans 8:28].

For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are the called, according to His purpose.

I thank the Lord for allowing me to go through what I went through. My repentance was deep because I finally learned the fear of the Lord, and repented in godly sorrow, thanks to Yahweh. Stand up and confess your sin and repent. See sin for the wickedness it is, and the damage it does. Repent for rebellion against a good and holy Maker...watch how God stands true to His Word. 

God is a God of mercy and grace, but also a God of justice and judgment. If people do not see judgment upon this earth for their sins, the day will come when we will all stand before the Lord. We can fool others, but we can NOT fool God.

May God be with the young ones who are standing strong and being the example that the older ones are supposed to be. Shame on [some] of the older Christians, including the one who speaks about 'clickbait cockroaches'. You sir, remind me of the ghetto I used to live in as a teenager. That is not Christ-like. You were talking about being transparent...well sir, I am here to tell you that the emperor (you sir) has no clothes. It's not called transparency, it is called ignorance...and spiritual blindness.

God bless the friends of truth.

Nov.5.2008_DailyNews-Sold Out

Change is coming – Then When Reelected – Obama Says ‘Change has come’.

It is here permanently (even globally)... and watch - more change coming.

Remember the hand that began to slowly pull back the curtain in 2012, the day after Obama was reelected for his second term? Deep within, as if stamped spiritually, were the words, “now it begins”.

Within close proximity of that time (perhaps one or two months) came the words (also stamped strongly in my spirit), “the time of revealing”.  The Blog Talk radio program started out called that, before I changed the name to “Warriors of Endurance”.

Later, once again, it was changed to: W.O.E. in the Time of Revealing,  The acronym was obviously (but it seemed fitting for the end times): Warriors of Endurance [in the Time of Revealing]. Only God knew back then. And how fast from 2013 to now has the time flown.

Now we are hearing people say, “time of exposure”. The Lord forewarns His people. He has always been that Faithful and True. He was telling us that it was about to begin. But Jesus – hallelujah!

Year of the Snake - Ouroboros

Obama was reelected in 2012: His rule began in January 2013. That was the year of the snake (Chinese calendar).

Trump was reelected for 2024: When he began his term, it was the year of the dragon (Chinese calendar).

Trump is set to rule in 2025: This is the year of the snake (Chinese calendar). It has gone full circle. The snake eats its tail.

Trump has said several times that this is the beginning of a 'new' “golden age” - 'new age'? No, his words were a 'new' "golden age" (intending to undo all that the previous administration did to mess America up). Hmm

This is another 'year of the snake' according to Chinese tradition and culture. However, Obama in 2012 reelected, with 2013 beginning the snake year to Trump being reelected in 2024, with 2025 beginning another snake year, it is a full circle year - interesting that the year of the dragon was just prior to Obama's reign also. Full circle - eating itself.

In the Greek, ouroboros is considered to be symbolic for destruction, death, and rebirth. It was interesting knowing that both Obama and Trump served the American people in the Chinese Year of the Snake [2012 and 2024] However, the snake also goes back to Egypt, ancient Egypt.

It was in Genesis when Yahweh said that the Saviour would bruise the head of the serpent, and the serpent would bruise His heel (this prophetically spoke of the crucifixion; God foretold the plan of salvation). [Gen 3:15]

The snake eating its own tail means the same thing: full circle, destruction, rebirth. Interesting, year of the snake twice. Obama and Trump appeared to share a few smiles at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Some insist it was chivalry, both being gentlemen out of respect for the deceased. Yet, publicly, did they not tear each other apart with sarcastic rhetoric?

The games people play now…

Once again, this day has been hindered, but I will post what I have…it is sufficient

One piece of trivia. Why have the self-proclaimed modern-day prophets not mentioned it? Insignificant…after all, they believe Trump is appointed by God. Whereas I believe God allowed it. There are reasons. Trump will do things Harris wouldn't dream of. She is anti-Christian.

The people were desperate for Trump. Kamala Harris was not a good choice, so Trump is in. 

The money Trump made from his attempted assassination makes me wonder. Golden shoes, coffee cups, trading cards, but one thing that troubled me – the Trump Bible. Why, a Trump bible?

It was the King James version, true enough, but He endorsed and marketed it as the "God Bless the U.S.A. Bible".  At the top, 'above' all else, it is written:

Donald J. Trump

45th President of the United States of America

The Day God Intervened July 13, 2024

then down below it several inches is written:

Holy Bible

Those who purchase the Bible inside will find (besides the KJV full text), the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of rights, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the chorus lyrics of 'God Bless the U.S.A." by singer/songwriter Lee Greenwood, in his own handwriting.

Bill of Rights

The Constitution

The Declaration of Independence

                                               

Lee Greenwood's song
God Bless the U.S.A.
handwritten chorus lyrics

The Bible sells for $59.99 USD plus taxes. However, there were special editions (limited) that could be purchased with the president's signature for $1,000. At last check, he had earned over $1.3 million from the endorsement.

Another interesting bit of trivia is that the Bibles were printed in China by the New Ade printing company.

 MAGA – also called MAGUS

Interesting to me that no prophets mention this. MAGA [Make America Great Again] is the FEMININE form of “magus”, which means “magicians’, “witch’, “wise one’. Feminine form for the man who is addicted to women.

When the Peruvian shamans came to 'pray' over the leaders they prayed for the 'ancient spirits to arise' [year of 2012] (which ancient ones? the ones around in Noah's time, or Sodom's?  or Gomorrah's?)

We only need the Holy Spirit, which comes only through faith in Jesus Christ and being born-again.

There was a woman, considered a European performance artist, spoke quietly in the background at the time the 'Diddy' probe was happening. However, it turns out her words were from 2009.

She claims that Trump is a “magician of the highest order.” […] …he’s the magician who wakes us up.”

The Lord Says Seek Him – Will You?

For decades, I have posted the Lord’s word to seek Him. It has been written repeatedly. This is the time…please heed what He urges. Seek Him whilst He can still be found.

This is the 19th of January. The fact that Trump won was not really a surprise because people were still emotional over the attempted assassination, with nearly everyone being convinced that God saved him. But not only that. Kamala Harris lost a lot of respect when someone at one of her rallies said the name of Jesus Christ. Kamala chuckled and told the person that he was at the wrong place. 

It revealed how much she was against God, and against any Christian values or morals. It actually spoke volumes around the globe. I am not American; I am Canadian.

Knowing there was not much choice for presidents, either Trump or Harris, I still had to try and understand the logic behind Trump's win. 

“I do not understand. Father, why?” I prayed.

 “They wanted a king…” The answer was short and straightforward.

It was understood that the United States does not have kings, but immediately the Holy Spirit brought scripture to mind. It was about Israel's first king. Why did Israel have to have a king? 

What nation is not full of sin? Was America willing to repent with godly sorrow? Was anyone crying out for GOD (Yahweh) to rule the land?  It IS as the days of Noah, Sodom, and Gomorrah. I do not think any country is, including mine. (Canada)

The sad answer is, like Israel, most Americans did not want God to rule over them either. All the self-proclaimed prophets were prophesying, "Trump, Trump, Trump...not one asked the people to pray for God to take over because that with Trump's return, they could say that their prophecies from 2020 did not fail, it was merely delayed. 

It was deja vu. It was a repeat of Israel. And God gave the American people what they wanted...a person to rule over them.

Have No Fear

And I say unto you My friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him, which after He has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him. [Lk 12:1-5]

The Lord has been displeased about people not having the healthy fear of the Lord that the Word of God instructs us to walk in. When I saw Jesus for the second time, I had no fear of the Lord (healthy or otherwise). How do I know?

I did not tremble in His sight. He was acknowledged as God, but I was blind to my impurity, blind to my wretchedness before a holy King. I should have been humbled beyond measure, but pride can be accompanied by arrogance. Blind, deaf, foolish...complete ignorance. 

The memory of my state sickens me. How I thank God for not destroying me right then and there. I will never be able to thank Him enough for my salvation now....so undeserved, so very grateful.

The Lord revealed more to me (no one taught me, and I had been blind to it when I had previously read about the "fear of the Lord" in the Bible). I also had to learn what it meant to have the proper fear of the Lord, the deeper meaning of it, which I learned through scriptures, articles and sermons.

People today have little reverence for those in higher places. There is little respect for royalty today. It has become displaced over the centuries. Repentance is needed in so many areas; it is grievous, but this world had better get back to it all soon, or face the very wrath of God, which no one is going to want to face.

If you want to know what happens under God's wrath, first: read the Bible and see His wrath upon disobedience and defiance from kings and whole nations. Secondly, check out some of the sermons of reputable preachers.

for His glory alone

Is it just me, or did it not JUST seem like New Year's Eve a "few" days ago, not nearly three weeks? Time seems to be flying...
