While We Were Distracted, This Happened - Prt1

 (Note: Updated-starting at 9:15 May 2, 2026, two hours after post BP)

Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope Adonai is. [Jer 17:7]

What's a Distraction?

Going over the archives IF one had time (don’t worry, even I do not have the time lol), but often, especially since 2020, I would mention how distractions interfered with my work in such a way that I could not post in a timely manner.

However, it has gotten so bad over the past year and a half that I have asked the Lord more than once if I am to stop writing, if I am blind or deaf to what He wants me to see or hear (meaning, is He halting me and I cannot see it or hear properly?)

But instead, He reveals to me that all people (and especially His people) are perplexed over different things. Confusion, overwhelming thoughts and happenings, everything, including the weather is abnormal. Nothing makes much sense right now. It is a chaotic, corrupted, mind-boggling time we are in.

Many are suffering in various ways. Not everyone is suffering physically, mentally, or in the same manner that another is suffering. Yet, one common denominator globally is the fact that faith is being challenged in ways that no one expected.

Situations are arising that test the character, integrity, and sincerity, the genuineness of each person. It has always been said that a person’s true character is proven in times of adversity. 

I have seen people who are thought to be so macho, so brave cower instead of protecting a woman or child. I have seen so-called ‘good men’ kick a helpless puppy for not ‘behaving’ right.

And I have seen a person who was always mocked and ridiculed as being a ‘wimp’ turn out to be a real trooper in the time of need. I am 71, so yes, I have seen both. I wondered myself how I would be in an emergency situation, but I know the times I did well was ONLY because of Jesus…and I refuse to touch HIS glory. I am every grateful to Him.

On the other hand, my life is not over and I have not dealt with many situations. There is still room to mess up majorly - Lord, help me that I do not live to see that day lol. But seriously, we all want to think we will be brave and strong, not giving into emotions (which often override logic). Let us pray for God to give us strength, wisdom and courage in the face of adversity - for our sakes, yes, but for His glory!

Many are falling away, masses are being exposed for what they managed to hide behind charismatic smiles, polished images, and successful businesses or ministries. On the flip side, we also see an exceptional number are being baptized (Kayla Gabbard Ministry is but one of many- all glory to GOD), a stirring is occurring but it is not like a ‘tsunami revival’. It is happening in waves.

The masses that were moved a year ago were moved by emotions, but these baptisms are being carried out without the media spotlight, without the emotionalism that develops when cameras and music and other means cater to the ‘flesh’. This is of God, and meant to last for an eternity, not for a day, month, or year.

Deception

Ah, it was a grand deception on the part of many participants. Drama, lies, manipulation, theatrics, all at the expense of human lives. Who would be behind such evil? One guess, and the book of Revelation said:

“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows he has but a short time.” [Rev 12:12] Some are still clinging to the illusion, but God is the expert and master sorter. We must remember who [Satan] is the author of confusion.

There is much I intend to touch upon; however, it will have to go into more than one article. Distractions – it is a word I timidly used in an article about six years ago, around the time of Covid-19. 2020 was one of the worst years of my life, yet most of the reasons about why it was so horrific had nothing to do with the pandemic. 

I say "timidly" because at the time, I was pretty sure that I was the only one being distracted, unable to stay focused, especially when it was important. It is said that 'misery loves company'. Well, admittedly, when I found out more and more that these distractions were affecting everyone, everywhere - globally, I let out a great sigh of relief. I can serve tea and biscuits for my "miserable company" lol 

time of chaos and confusion

But it was like a paradigm shift, like the entire world got tipped on its side and everyone was out of sorts and acting irrationally. It was not just me that noticed. Numerous people reported unbelievable things taking place, things that normally would not have been allowed, or were unheard of before.

The word ‘distraction’ is seen or heard nearly everywhere now, as most people have become aware that what is being presented or shown to us is to divert our attention away from other very important things – but what things?

Guaranteed these “things” that they are throwing out are red herrings to feed the curiosity of the public, but they are NOT the important 'things' we need to know. Governmental leaders are covering up truth in many areas, all part of the plan (NOT conspiracy, but indeed the PLAN) for a one-world system and leader. 

Will it be a person or a possessed humanoid? Does that sound far-fetched? No, multitudes are beginning to see. One has to ask this question as AI speeds ahead… In 2008, I began posting about humanoid robots. Way back then robots had been created to accompany troubled children. 

They were exceptionally realistic with the facial expressions, remarkable with the emotions expressed, and the "skin" that looked real. I will be writing about this in upcoming articles because dear souls, this is but ONE of the things they do not want us to spend too much time dwelling on. Forget critical thinking - push it aside. Do not overthink the matter, simply accept what they tell us.

That is what they would like, and that is what they are aiming for - control of the people. Dystopian control of the masses, where a totalitarian government, or 'technological entity' puts in motion the suppression of individual freedom and thought. The "utopia" of the elites, even if it is maintained through surveillance, deception, fear, control (15-minute cities; own nothing, be happy - Schwab mentality, applauded by Yuval Noah Harari.

As in the Days of Noah

Yuval Noah Harari

Yes, the same man who stated once (with an interesting choice of words): "Never summon a power that you cannot control." [emphasis mine - critical thinking required]

Words of Yuval Noah Harari - he proudly shows people clearly, beyond any shadow of a doubt, whose side he is loyal to. Medium posted the article. It is written in such a way that it would be near impossible to not hear exactly what Harari is saying in that interview with Medium, regarding AI, mankind and the time we are in.

He starts off mildly, seemingly innocently, already deceiving the world as the serpent deceived Eve…it began with a seducing spirit bringing forth various temptations. He introduces Micky Mouse, none other than “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, appealing to the child in you, or at least, the part that likes to fantasize. Magic...a mighty wizard, sorcerer, call it as you will...apprentice.

Pass through Nazism, Stalinism, AI-built totalitarian regime, snaking a way through Hindu religion and what he calls ‘Trumpism’, claiming that Hinduism and Trumpism, both press emotional buttons. Who will be alpha?

Then, the slithering continues through economy where bad money drives good money out of circulation. This is fantasizing, isn't it? Interesting turn. He touches upon the “murderous witch hunting hysteria" between 1500-1700 (clearly opposed to the 'murderous' witch hunts... and it is true that many innocent died needlessly.

Almost cussing the new invention of the printing press when it came out in that timeslot. The anger was due to the fact that companies published about a vast Satanic witching conspiracy. It was read by millions... good is winning.

He then says, “Information, you see, need not be truthful. Something people can exploit for wealth and power, a big factor in the witch hunts." YH

So right there, Yuval Harari reveals to us that truth means nothing to him, for the truth is not in him. Is he the father of lies? To call him Satan, no, but to call him an antichrist. Most definitely. operating from the dark side, and proudly.

Surveillance, technologies, democracy, Walter Cronkite, GPT-4 AI system, alpha predator, global AI tyranny, upgrade or replacement, Humanity 2.0., Yuval Harari covers it all. I do not see too many stones, if any, left unturned.

Read at this link to get the context of Noah Harari’s statement: “Never summon a power you cannot control.”

We are already a 'global village' under heavy surveillance, with law enforcement more militant and given more freedom to do as they will with people, even shooting to kill if they so much as look sideways. After all, only "terrorists" look sideways, right? Forgive the sarcasm, but as evil rises, I will not applaud the cunning and craftiness Satan has employed to deceive the masses - just as Jesus foretold.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. [Mat 10:26] KJV (words of Jesus)

These things are prophetic for our time, and have been recorded in the Holy Bible long ago. The wars, the rumours of wars, the groaning of creation, the birth pangs felt by the world, much like a woman in travail. This is all occurring now.

That would mean that these things have to do with Yahweh [the Living God], Jesus, the Saviour, Satan, spiritual warfare, the prophetic written in scripture, and last, but not least, the Antichrist. 

Oddly, many people nowadays do not even want to say the word ‘Antichrist’ for a couple of reasons. The first reason is because many believe it is not one ‘person’ that Satan will possess. Instead, they believe it is a ‘system’, a beast system that will control mankind.

Some will say that there have been “many antichrists” since the days of the apostles, and that would be 100% accurate.

False Teachers - False Brethren

Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. For this we know that the last hour has come. [1Jn 2:18]

John spoke of those who belonged to the church, people who were part of the Christian community, but left. “They went out from us, but they were not really of us,” [1Jn 2:19]– likely spoken with a heavy heart. False teachers, false brethren or ‘antichrists’, who came out of the church.

Today, many of them stay right in the church, ‘using’ the name of Jesus/Yeshua to promote themselves and their false teaching, a teacher that sounds so ‘true’ (because like Satan did in the desert temptation of Jesus, scripture is used).

I have no intention of expounding on any or ‘the’ Antichrist/Beast, or unholy pagan celebrations in this piece. Over the years, I have written and given information, but now, as I have stated, and which I firmly believe – Satan has not just blurred the lines between true and false, he has removed them. Jesus named him the ‘author of confusion’ for a good reason.

Some folks will take this to extremes and not trust any church. Just trust God. That is the best way for all of us, but Abba will grant discernment if our hearts are pure for the reason. We do not want to deceive, nor do we want to be deceived. It is a two-way street. 

We all need people we can trust. It is the way the Lord created things to be. The only one who thinks he can benefit from such a plan is the destroyer, that old serpent, the great dragon, Satan. [Rev 12:9]

What do I mean by that? By simply searching scriptures, we no longer have to be a scholar or theologian to see that we are tumbling quickly into the climax of the end times, the Great Tribulation.

It is so close that I would not be surprised if it breaks out at any time. Back when I wrote an article in 2008, I had mentioned how we have been seeing the puzzle pieces fall into place. 

For decades we saw the pieces put into position, like placing dominoes along a run/chain, in order to create the domino toppling, a spectacular art form that presents as a visual chain reaction – and all it takes is …just one push in the right place!

Domino Effect

Domino Effect--artist_Kovizel 1991

In 2008, I had written an article called “We Overcome”. Unfortunately, I removed five years’ worth of work when a woman promised to sponsor a new website. She changed her mind, which is her prerogative; however, I lost a good portion of those years due to ransomware, a nasty virus that destroys files within a certain time frame if the ‘ransom’ to spare them is not paid. 

By no means was any of that her fault. It was just the timing, but after a good cry at five years worth of research, reading for hours on end, phone calls, writing...all gone, no backup...hard lesson learned! Foolish me.

I am repeating myself, but there is an important point to be made here. Although I wept many tears due to the countless hours of research and work that was lost, I came to understand and accept that the only words that matter are Yahweh's (the Lord’s), and thankfully, we have those in the Holy Scriptures and hopefully, down in our hearts.

And they overcame him (the dragon) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [Rev 12:11]

I reposted the 2008 article, We Overcome in 2015, and again in 2022.

Excerpt:

In 2022, I wrote about the domino effect. What I wrote was…

There is a folder that I have named "Domino Effect usage". I labeled it that because of the articles in it where the Lord used the word 'dominoes'.

The first article I placed in the folder was titled, "We Overcome"  (published in 2008). The Lord spoke of things happening, and it was the first time He emphasized dominoes to me (regarding things coming).

Excerpt of (We Overcome):

For they prepared their hearts for the 'suddenlies' and the unexpected. 

For He who loves His children will teach them, then test them. 

He will lead them and guide them. 

He will forewarn and protect them.  

Things that are coming will be positioned like dominoes, with intent, strategically

placed, with precision. Things coming will have the 'domino effect', but God prepares His people.

Beltane/May Day - Pagan Celebration

Egyptian, Greek, Roman origin
Beltane

Each year I write about the ‘highlighted’ days on the occult calendar; days such as May 1, which the world ‘innocently’ labels May Day, a day of dancing around a pole with pretty ribbons and flowers attached. It can be just a few souls dancing around a pole or a great number.

With the original pagan celebration, the ‘pole’ was a phallic symbol that represented the male organ, the penis. The pole originally was a tall tree, straight, such as a pine tree – considered positive masculine “energy”, the generative ‘powers’ (idol) bringing life to the earth.

The coloured ribbons, beautiful assortment of flowers and garlands represented the feminine “energies”, enveloping the ‘womb of the earth’. Together it stood for fertility. The dancers moving in and out were symbolic of the natural rhythm of rejuvenating and creating new life.

Pagan practices involved couples in the nearby fields, whilst the dancing and singing and chanting carried on, celebrating the new cycle of life…and the fertilization of the earth. Pagans and Wiccans celebrated Beltane, honouring the ‘forces’ of creativity in nature. In Rome, Flora, the goddess of flowers was celebrated.

The ancient Gaelic/Celtic celebration was also called Beltane/Walpurgis  [Germanic] Fire Festival. I have written about it in the past, but it is not my intention to glorify it. At one time, demonic and Satanic activity was more rampant around and on certain days of the year, but now Satan has proudly lifted himself up to spread it far past these days.

The lines are no longer blurred. They have been wiped clean so that there is no defining line; it all blends together – at least, that is the intent. As we approach the time of the Great Tribulation, witchcraft is exalted in public arenas such as the Olympics, many opening ceremonies, Hollywood and its various Award programs, and more.

It is no longer considered shameful or evil, but something to be ‘proud’ of and good. Christianity is looked down upon, and it is becoming increasingly worse. Rejoice, dear friends, because our redemption is so much closer. How we long to see our Messiah return, our Jesus, Yeshua of Nazareth, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords, the true Christ (Anointed One).

I had wanted to warn of any backlash that may occur due to the celebration of this pagan (occult) day, but it is a time where every day now is a day to stand guarded. We need Jesus more than ever before. Without Him, I do not know how anyone will make it in the days ahead without Jesus. Eternity is a long time – this life is temporal. Time to choose. Choose wisely.

Much more coming up…about Trump, clones, humanoids, just a lot, but what I really want to get to is what all these ‘distractions’ have kept us from focusing on.  The leaders globally and the events are all connected – it is all part of the big plan; the very plan that Yahweh warned about. 

I am confident that God's people, children of salt and light, know exactly what the evil ones are distracting the world from. However, multitudes are in denial because they either do not believe in Jesus as God/Saviour/King and Lord, or they have fallen away, apostates - may God help them before they become reprobates.

Jesus forewarned that if it were possible, even the very elect will be deceived. People everywhere are shocked at how much we were deceived about; the depth and the coverage is mind-boggling. No wonder we were told that we have no idea of the depth of evil…none.

Remember this, dear saints:

The Lord brings the counsel of the heathen to nothing: He makes the devices of the people of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. [Ps 33:11]

The Providential, Sovereign LIVING GOD rules forever; we can trust in Him.

Thank You Jesus/Yeshua - it is ALL because of You.

for His glory alone

God’s (YHVH’s) Amazing Alignments

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [Gen 1:1, 14]

                                 

August 17, 2022 (17 means victory), the Holy Spirit moved upon me to pick up my pen and write. The message is further down.

I wrote  (up above) that 17 means “victory” because that is what I was taught about 20 years ago from someone, somewhere along this journey of life, and what’s interesting is that it was SEVENTEEN (17) years ago, in 2005, that I committed my life to the Lord. Praises belong to Him forever!

However, before I posted, I decided to be sure that I was giving accurate information. It is imperative to me to do so in these days of deliberate and intended deception, forthright lies, misinformation and disinformation, my desire is to be as accurate, factual, truthful and honest as possible. Nevertheless, try as I may, I am not infallible.

That said, quickly shifting gears, what a pleasant surprise to see that the number 17 (seventeen) means:

“complete victory” – “overcoming the enemy”

Only God can align things to such perfection; all glory is His. I love Him so very much, wholly in fact – but then, is it not written (perhaps paraphrased here, but) … he who has been forgiven much, loves much. Amen (It is so: so be it) That most definitely explains why I love Yeshua (my Jesus) so deeply and wholly.

Yet, over time, I have observed that the children of the Creator all love Him beyond what we can measure or even describe. That is how good our Maker is. I have repeatedly stated that He has a unique way of making each person feel like an only child.

He does not spoil us. In fact, out of His agape love, He corrects, disciplines, scolds (rebukes), encourages, strengthens, heals, delivers, saves - I could go on into eternity, which I fully intend to do - with the help of the precious and Holy Spirit.

Back to the meaning of 17:

Complete victory - Overcoming the enemy

At the same site (Bible Study), it speaks of the “devil’s end-time system” [Rev 13], having seven heads and ten horns, totaling 17. There are some fascinating points made by the writer. 

For example: (I really like this one):

The writer mentions Romans 8:35 where Paul asks what shall separate us from the love of Christ? He mentions tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, sword or any other danger (peril). That totals seven things the apostle mentioned.

He continues by saying nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus (our Messiah Yeshua), our , Saviour, Redeemer, Lord – not death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, or things to come, height, depth or any other creature. 

That totals 10 things. 7 + 10 = 17, which the writer states – “representing a Christian’s perfect and eternal standing with God through Christ”.  Source: Biblestudy.org

Sounds like “complete victory” and “overcoming the enemy” to me, wouldn’t you say? There are more compelling facts mentioned which you can read by clicking on the above link. It is a safe site. I find the way our Creator, our King aligns things astounding.

Come Out of the Darkness, Soldier

When the Holy Spirit moved upon me to pen the message below, it was not long before I realized that it was a message to be publicly presented. You see, the message was/is to me, which means that by the time one finishes reading it, you will come to the understanding that the magnificent Father brought me out of a dark place.

It was a time of feeling so alone, months of holding in what was obviously a downward spiral. After all, aren't Christians supposed to keep it altogether in Christ?

Are we not supposed to be a 'spiritual example'? So, the one who encourages cannot encourage themselves? (Wasn't that Job's problem?)

It was not just a week or two weeks, it had begun some time back, near the beginning of the year. I likely could go back further to 2017, but suffice it to say, beginning (yes, I know) in 2020 (when everyone and everything went upside down), and moving forward, it had been a continuous, stressful, dramatic haul. 

Only because of God [YHWH], through Jesus [Yeshua], via the Holy Spirit am I back on track. He will not let us stay down. He is our unmatchable helper, but we have to humble ourselves. 

He has already provided helpers, but we have to quench pride, reach out and admit our need for others as well. It was difficult to do. Pride tried to tell me not to 'bother others';' I could do it on my own if I quit being a hypocrite; "others will know you're not very 'spiritual'; 'you will expose yourself'...

Thoughts can be so random and fast-moving. Thoughts can be as individual as we are, and unique, typically according to our personality and life experiences.

They can come from the flesh or they can come from the enemy. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between the two because flesh and Satan (and his legions) work hand in hand.

But Jesus said He would send a Helper, a Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit. And it was He who helped me to put pride on the cross and crucify it and reach out not only to others, but to Him. 

How I thank God for solid Christian friends; someone who is there whether good weather or storming darkness; they stand with you in the gap and sincerely pray.

Give thanks for such treasures, yet of more value than hidden treasures of gold, jewels and fine trinkets: they are a rare find. They are actually gifts from God. We do well to cover each other in prayer, and honour our Creator who does all things well.

We have to admit we are frail humans, prone to sin, prone to the ways of the flesh - in need of help. You may say, "Well, perhaps you have sinned, but I am not and have not sinned."

Some people have a critical spirit and do not recognize it in themselves because they call it discernment, even if they end up being in error in the "judgment" - that is, even in their 'discerning'.

Some go by the word of others, perhaps someone who has praised them in the past, or who hold them in high esteem. So, they trust their 'judgment'. "Surely, their word can be trusted. I mean, heck, they were right about me."   

Pride can be subtle. We all have it. I used to think I had 'many faults', but not 'pride' (laugh out loud and shake my head - I've arrived at some very foolish conclusions in my youth at times.

Yet God is faithful to point out the beam in our eye - the reason that we cannot see clearly or accurately. Righteous Counselor, Faithful and True just like the book of Revelation says.

Doubt, unbelief, pride, bitterness (anger stemming from the root of bitterness), strife, evil sayings (putting someone down, judging harshly, belittling, hurtful comments), unforgiveness), even uncontrolled nasty thoughts that we entertain; all these fleshly things are sins.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ [2Cor 10:5]

Every single one of us, including those we consider the wisest and most discerning, can get it wrong sometimes. Me, you, everyone...every person EXCEPT Jesus (our Yeshua). And NONE of us like to be wrong or admit it.

Remember Solomon, considered the wisest and most discerning, even to this day? Yet, even he did err in the end, seriously err - in disobeying God. 

We do not, should not, compare ourselves to others. There is no comparison. We can drive ourselves crazy if we try to do so. There are always others worse off; that's a given, but it does not lessen nor does it negate our load. Pain is pain; suffering is suffering. We all have breaking points. Look at the famous examples - Moses, Job, Elijah, David...

My sins may not be your sins. Your sins may not be mine. But the Word of God is very clear. It is written:

Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ [Yeshua HaMashiach] unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [Rom 3:21-22]

Updating now to 20 22: I would have to also go back to the beginning of the year (around late January or early February 2022 when the Lord first impressed “moving” upon my heart).

Due to the long trip from B.C., (lengthened by Canada's national holiday - July 1st birthday - and hindered by massive construction zones all throughout Ontario), I was completely and utterly undone – exhausted – steamrolled – empty – drained, YET, I could not, would not give up. 

There is NO SHAME in needing help. Proof? When Jesus was beaten down, with barely any physical strength left, a Roman soldier called out Simon of Cyrene to help Him carry the cross. 

No Shame!

He was undone. He had no strength left - beaten down, weary, exhausted, in extreme physical pain - yet He did not quit. He did not give up. He carried on, amidst the mockery, the hurtful comments, the jeering crowds, the laughter of demons...He did not quit. He endured...

Yes, it is bloody hard. Yes, it is tempting to quit, to say 'enough'. But get the help needed - there is no shame in it. Thank You Jesus (Yeshua) for being such a perfect example of enduring despite frailty, and despite an oppressive crowd, and a world gone mad and wrong in its 'judgment'...

Mercy Granted to Work on the Fruitless Tree [Lk 13:8-9]

But You Lord are good and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon You.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You: for You will answer me.

For great is Your mercy toward me: and You have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. [Ps 86:5, 7, 13]

How can I give up? How can I just quit - after all the Lord has done? I know where the Lord brought me from, and know all the work He has been doing. It has not been easy. Although some religious peacocks may strut and admit God did some work in them, they fan their eye-catching, beautiful feathers to reveal that He did not have "much" to do...

But this black sheep was covered in the counterfeit "oil" of the earth, gritty and soiled, blemished, even corrupted - O, but the work the Lord patiently has done, is doing and yet shall do...ALL to the glory of Jesus!

He has done, is doing a good work, and shall continue until the day of Jesus Christ. [Phil 1:6] He has dug up the fallow ground, purged, pruned...so much hard work in order to produce fruit. Others may give up on us, reject us, judge us, condemn us, but Christ will not.

I felt divided and I am well aware of the scripture that says: a house divided against itself will not stand. [Mk 3:25]

O, but the temptations, O but the thoughts. I felt I would die; then I wanted to die, but not really – O what a mess, what a heyday. Remember, a gentle reminder again, that Satan used scripture; he used the Word to speak to the Word (Jesus) in the flesh, to trip Him up. 

Notwithstanding, Jesus countered scripture with scripture. Satan attempted to take the Word out of context, Jesus countered with the Word IN context. Satan had to leave...for a season. [Lk 4:13]

Over the years I have spoken of dark nights of the soul. I have spoken (written) of other hard, dark seasons, knowing each time that I was not alone in it, but ah, how alone one does feel in it.

 I have shared about incredulous battles because I knew in my heart that others were suffering through such battles as well. It is called the "body of Christ" for a reason; many members, all individual, yet connected through Christ, by the Holy Spirit. We abide...as branches upon the Vine.

But remember, dear reader, we are in a time like no other. The attack against the people of God is very real. It has increased exponentially. I told my eldest daughter when I was visiting her in Calgary (as well as her younger sister) that I used to speak little about witchcraft, Satan or the 'devil', because many times people would blame their own sins on the devil. 

A certain [unnamed] person I knew for a long time would steal the line from a famous sitcom from the 80s and say, "the devil made me do it". Although they laughed, they meant it.

Either that or people saw the devil under every bush, in every person, or else blamed him for every hardship, difficulty or tragedy, even those  events and occurrences that life in general presents. 

However now, my friends, NOW we must admit that witchcraft, demonic rituals, occult practices and beliefs are in our face and exalted on high like never before in the history of the world.

Katy Perry-occultic symbology and
mockery of the cross

harlot and the beast [book of Revelation]

The entire world is chanting and celebrating – to welcome the Lawless One, to welcome Satan. We hear many repeating the words of the prophet Isaiah that the majority of people (globally) are calling good evil and evil good. Witchcraft is exalted, homosexuality is advertised as normal, pedophilia is no longer considered a crime by many and laws are already changing to accept it.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. [Is 5:20]

Soldier of Christ

Humility is at the core of the strongest warrior

The Mightiest Soldiers Get Weary

Have you not known? have You not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of His understanding. [Is 40:28]

But friend, need I remind you that neither you, nor I, nor any other is God? We do weary; we do grow faint. Yet we have a Helper, an Advocate, a strong arm to uphold us. He is well aware...He is willing, ready and able to help.

He gives power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might, He increases strength. [v 29] 

(I can surely vouch for that Word being true. He is my [our] strength. BP)

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 

My people shall rise up when they rely on Me
- says the Creator of all 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. [Is 40:31-32]

We need to encourage each other, soldier of Christ. We need to humble ourselves and confide in trusted comrades if we are struggling with unbelief or doubts. We are in this war together, even if we are assigned to or engaged in different battles.

There are times we fight alongside each other. There are times the Lord Himself fights for us or on our behalf. Other times, He assigns holy angels to war for us.

If thoughts are whizzing through your mind, if doubts are threatening to penetrate your shield of faith, if turbulence is beating upon your house, admit the truth and act. 

Our FIRST step (even before our confiding in our comrades) is to humble ourselves (and man, pride will fight you, even try to excuse you), but pour out your heart to the most trusted person there is.

Confess to our first love, Jesus (Yeshua) all that we are going through. He is trustworthy. He is compassionate, merciful, wise - He knows just what to do; what is best for us, whether it be comfort or discipline (chastisement) or both, or something else, He knows better than we do.

He is good, and His mercy endures forever. Confess unbelief and doubt, even fear if there be any. Fear has torment. Christ will not condemn you; Satan does that. The Messiah is ready to forgive; He gave His life for this...for us, for all who will believe.

Have you had tormenting thoughts? Have you been overwhelmed by what you see as you go shopping – people still masked up in many instances, even alone in their cars, wearing a mask and gloves. ?

Do you see the fear they are operating in? Do you see how easily they were programmed? Have you asked the Lord for truth in the matter, especially when the powers that be are "purposely" seeking to divide the people and stir up hatred, racism and violence.

Then the other side, where no mask is worn, just normal behaviour (at least, what was considered “normal” before Covid was announced).

If you are exhausted for whatever reason, get rest. But go to God too. I was so, so weary and I could NOT get rest. The demands upon me were surreal and continuous. They were such of the kind that had to be addressed, as they could not be delayed, ignored or dismissed.

One thing after another was demanded of me. Physically, the pain I was going through was off the charts. I would wake up weeping – but I FORGOT to find reason to give thanks and praise. I am reporting this not for sympathy, but to let any others who are undone with pain, that you are not alone. God will help.

We can anger at God because He doesn't take something away instantly (then there are those who despise Him because He does), but in reality, where does that bitterness get us? It eats away at us like a cancer, but it will not do the same to God.

The Lord does not expect us to thank Him for the pain, but I could surely thank Him that I awoke to a new day, another opportunity to 'get it right'. The truth of the matter is that this flesh will never 'get it right'. 

It is corrupted (our carnal mind is at enmity against our Creator [Rom 8:7]), and there will always be 'something' we need to deal with or to work on - (even as the last shovel of dirt is thrown upon our coffin).

I could thank Him that I can still walk, even if it is with a cane, or even a walker. I can thank Him that my breathing has improved 80 percent and continues improving.(I'm convinced the places I was living in [mold] interfered with my breathing.)

I can thank Him that the swelling from a blocked lymphatic system has gone down. I can thank Him that arthritis, though painful, has not crippled me.

I could have been more thankful, yes, but I have to admit that there were days when I would weep and say: “I can’t do this anymore.” "I don't want to do this any more." "Why do I have to go through this; what did I do or not do?" "What is expected of me?" "When will our covenant happen?" 

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... More self-pity and tears - in abundance.

Then, I backpaddled, having had second thoughts. The fear of the Lord kicks in and I bow in my heart and spirit to the Father who has loved me through all my nonsense, all my outbursts, all my lack of understanding, all of my ... IMPATIENCE! Where was gratitude hiding?

There were sincere apologies for failing Him, yet there was also begging for healing, asking for death if our [personal] covenant was not going to happen. What a mixed bag.

Truth is that I do not wish to die, any more than Moses, Job or Elijah did. Well, perhaps in that desperate moment, but that moment cries out for change, not death. (Help, Lord! I am undone.) I merely needed rest and relief, but is that how a grateful child reacts?

It has been years of daily pain. The trip did cause a major shift because for the last four days out of the six day journey, motels were booked solid due to the holiday. The back of my SUV was fully loaded with all my possessions, everything I owned.

That meant four days of constantly being in the sitting position. Since I was in a hurry to meet up with the [potential] new landlords to sign a lease, I had no time to waste, but the hours upon hours added on due to construction, at times sitting 20, 30 or so minutes, whilst one lane traffic could sometimes cover a good mile, surely added to the stress physically.

I am so grateful to a dear and close friend who made it possible for me to even get a motel, at the beginning, and then again after the lease was signed and the landlord asked if they could have an 'extra' day to move out (moving out the 2nd, rather than the 1st).

It was so hard to say - "O sure"...."be my guest!" (forced smile) Ah was my flesh ever being sat on - hard... by me - to keep it from reacting! I just wanted to rest...and because of that same friend, I was able to because Canada's national holiday, July 1st was over, and people were returning home. I was to move into our new place July 2nd with my son.

I found the only room in a filthy motel that was vacant, but it meant I could lay down! Normally I am not overly fussy, but the room was unmade (by the pictures you would think I had used the bed and towels, but I assure I had not: that was the condition of the room).

$190 was the gouge, due to lack of vacancies. Ouch, adding insult to injury, I daresay! Other pictures are thrown in that reveal the dirt, but it actually reveals the lack of care or responsibility by the management. I did fall asleep quickly though and slept for seven hours - I truly was utterly exhausted!

Voices Quoting Scripture and Condemnation

Satan Uses Scripture AND Condemns

STOP! STOP! Stop the voice of the enemy. He throws scripture at us just like he did to Jesus (Yeshua) in the desert wilderness. in order to confuse us, to make us think we have gone insane, that we have joined the lost; that we were never saved. Lies, all lies. 

We may even ask the Lord, “How do I know if I’ve lost my faculties, like I’ve gone over the deep end? Do crazy people know they are crazy, or that something is 'off'? O God please help me! Too many voices...I’m so confused.”

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. [Is 9:5-6]

And the still small voice assures me (gently reminds me) that God is not the author of confusion but of peace...[1Cor 14:33] We are in a bloody war, fellow warriors. It is an invisible war that is becoming more and more visible as the time of the Lawless One and his revealing approaches.

And if you have become so weary [Dan 7:25] that you are not watching your words, if you are so steamrolled that you have not sought to speak forth scriptures (keeping your sword in its sheath – or – the Word indeed being in your heart, but  sitting idle), or if you have not humbled yourself and confessed your weakness and all you’ve been in error over, then do so now.

I promise you that our Lord is close to a broken and contrite heart. I promise you that He truly does lift up the humble one. I promise you that He immediately forgives and tosses our forgiven sins into the depths of the sea. [Micah 7:18, 19]

Our humbling ourselves will all be worth it. I promise you that Jesus, the Faithful and True One will get you back on the right track. He will restore your strength (He IS our strength). He will honour your sincerity and guard your brokenness; He will heal.

He always said to me (and I called my testimony this): "First the Inside of the Cup"

You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

I cannot think of anyone who wants to be full of dead men's bones and all manner of uncleanness. Allow the Holy Spirit to purge and cleanse by the priceless blood of the Lamb. He is thorough; He knows the best way and method to clean each individual vessel and it may not be the same way for one as it is for another, but when the Lord is done, His work is perfection! (For our sake, but for His glory - always! A good Father...)

He will shut the mouths of the lions. He will re-enforce our shield (of faith, for He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith). His love is perfect. There is no fear in love, and He will cast out all FEAR, for fear has torment. 

He that has fear is not made perfect in love. [1Jn 4:18] He "did not give you [us] a spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." [2Tim1:7] Selah

Message of the Lord – August 17, 2022

The turbulence (the violent storm) has been from the enemy. Is it not written that though the rains and turbulent winds beat against the house that I built, it WILL stand? It will not crumble; it will not break down or fall apart. It will stand!

O yes, it may creak, and it may make noise as the winds slap the wood hard against itself. If the wood had ‘feelings’, it would hurt. If wood were flesh, it would be battered and bruised, so violent the winds can be. So heavy the rains can fall that if the house had breath, it would ‘feel’ as though it were drowning.

(I understood that the Lord was revealing to me that our “feelings” will/can betray us. I have been guilty of allowing my emotions/feelings to rule at times, and I have always been one to state that emotions most often override logic [sigh – to my chagrin, but praise God for correction]! BP)

Gasps of desperation to survive would be heard. So shaken is the house in that storm that even if it could speak, it would not be able to describe all it “felt” – no thought would give a satisfactory description. But the house still stands when the winds and the flooding have ceased, for it is a house that I built and it was wisely built upon a ROCK.  [Mat 7:24, 25]

All damage done by the enemy will be healed and restored. I heard your sincere prayers of repentance. I saw. My eyes were open. I heard. Indeed, My ear paid attention.  [2Chron 7:14, 15] I gathered up your bitter tears and bottled them for they are precious to Me. [Ps 56:8] You are precious to Me.

You are not the only one who ever listened to the lies of the enemy, whose subtle, crafty speeches were convincing enough to stir up unbelief and doubt.  

(Not only did I know the Lord was referring to Adam and Eve, but even to this very day, Satan comes at those who love the Lord and seek to be in His will obediently, lovingly. BP)

Yes, your eyes were opened to the truth – to the reality that you were doubting Me, doubting yourself, doubting who you are in Me, as the enemy overshadowed and cloaked you in the dark heaviness of unbelief.

Do not take on shame. You are not the first, nor shall you be the last, for in these ending times, Satan and his legions feverishly attack My people, particularly those who are doing or have done much in the spiritual realm.

The evil ones wait until you are weak, either from physical, mental, emotional or spiritual exhaustion – or weakened by continuous nonstop pain physically, or in soul or spirit.

(I understood as I wrote this that it could be one, two or all areas where we are depleted of strength and energy. BP) 

The enemies of the cross [also] overwhelm when one is steadily busy with little time for rest, let alone time for prayer or time with Me. No, you are not the first, nor are you the last. Moses, Job, Elijah, Jeremiah – these are but four who fell into the miry pits of despair, depression and hopelessness.

All were helped by Me. They were not condemned; they were lovingly guided back upon the right path by Me, for I AM the Good Shepherd.  [Jn 10:11]

You were right to humbly repent, confessing unbelief and doubt, for it is faith that pleases Me. You trust Me to forgive, and forgive I have indeed. Now stop condemning yourself. Instead, stand tall with Me and let us walk together, for I AM the LORD of the battle. [2Chron 20:14]

You, along with countless of My children have been crying out for healing to be manifested, for the pain [for multitudes] has increased, and months and years have slid by. {Warfare and witchcraft have increased exponentially. It shall worsen.]

Do not look back as Lot’s wife. [Gen 19:26] Look into My eyes and know a good work has been done [Phil 1:6], and fruit is becoming [more] abundant [from purging].  [Jn 15:2] My own begotten Son [Jesus/Yeshua] suffered tremendously, yet He trusted Me through it, seeing His reward ahead. [Heb 12:2]

Yes, faith and trust go hand in hand. In this I AM well-pleased.  [Heb11:6]

See the healing and restoration as done, for it is done in the spiritual. 

(It is written that first the physical and then the spiritual [1Cor 15:46], but to keep things in context, I understood that the Lord knows the end from the beginning, so to Him, it is already done. To us, it is upon us. BP)

Do not give up when the finish line is in sight. How many times have I said to you that the strongest onslaught in a battle is just before the victory? The world has opened its arms to receive the Lawless One.

Celebrations contain satanic and occult rituals, in plain sight, and the lost (and the deceived) applaud the grandeur. Watch and see what I am about to do. The clash of the kingdoms is a reality, yet as I stand in My Sovereignty, it is the adversary [with his armies] that run up and clash against My steadfastness.

PRIDE has never left the enemy. In fact, it has increased so much that his banner of “PRIDE” now flies high around the world. Globally, all nations have embraced Satan’s lies, even taking the rainbow and its colours, as he falsely “promises” victory.

The temporal will not last into eternity, yet Satan and his legions have blinded the people and deceived the whole world. My Word shall be fulfilled and NONE can stay My hand. Yet how and when it plays out in its entirety is up to Me.

Your hope is in the final outcome, when you will live in the new earth, under the new heaven and behold the New Jerusalem. [Rev 21:1, 2] When My people are resurrected [Jn 5:29] and live in their glorified bodies [Phil 3:21], all sorrow and tears will be forever gone. [Rev 21:4]

There is hope in your end. For now, stand tall, confident that you abide in Me and I in you.  [Jn 15:4] Your willing obedience to Me and to My commandments is not without reward.  [Rom 2:6] My faithful people shall join with My holy angels to celebrate all that has been accomplished; all My promises fulfilled.

You picked up your sword after repentance and forgiveness, and having on the full armour, you now see victory. Use the sword continually (My Word), for it is sharp and battle-worthy. Miracles as never before seen are manifesting – many in places that you cannot see, but that you have prayed for. 

(I was moved and led by the Spirit of Christ to pray for the Philippines, Africa and India – and other places. BP)

Prayer for Israel, and for the salvation of Muslims and Hindus and others have been heard. I am moving. The enemy is furious – so strong is his pride; so hateful is his wrath.

Fear not that which you see [the temporal]. Continue to trust in Me knowing that all I do is wise and righteous. Embrace the shalom of My Christ and continue on strong, for I am the steady hand that holds you when you are weak.

I am He that comforts – He that restores: He that heals. So many say they will endure to the end, until they see how long the road is. Remember, the adversary does not play by any rules. He does not play. He is a vicious lion seeking whom he may devour.

(A lion and his PRIDE came to mind, which symbolically is Satan and his legions. Seems like "pride" follows Satan everywhere; he is cloaked in it - BP)

He is the smug deceiver who smiles at you as he covertly steals, kills and destroys, and then blames Me. He is the accuser of the brethren. His fiery arrows are filled with condemnation, lies, deception and destruction.

Hold fast to your shield, which is FAITH. It will deflect those [fiery] arrows and protect you. Selah.

Keep close to Me. Stay with Me; sit awhile. Keep a listening ear and an obedient heart, and I will lead you in the way that you should go. TRUST that your prayers have been heard and are answered. [Deut 20:4]  BELIEVE – for you shall see that I am Faithful and True. Great is My love for you. Quietly trust, for I AM your strength.

For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not. [Is 30:15]

Let that not be said of you, My child - that you would not. Come quietly, confidently for I am for you and not against. Believe My Word – hold fast to Jesus (Yeshua), the Word come in the flesh, My beloved Son. Amen [Jn 1:14]

(End of message)

Remember, this was given to me yesterday the 17th. 17 which biblically means: "complete victory" - "overcoming the enemy" 

Remember that, child of the most high, living God! And I, Bonita, will [remember it] too...

for His glory alone

Addendum [Aug 19, 2022]

When I receive a message through the Holy Spirit, it is after the message is ended that I look up the scriptures. I then look for pictures that would be best suited, unless, of course, I already have personal pictures that I had in mind to post.

Some might think that the Lord gives me the addresses of the scriptures (where something is found in His Word) when He speaks to me, but He does not. I think it has something to do with "study to show yourself approved..."  [2Tim 2:15]

Let me just quickly look it up and post it here.

Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

In case some wondered, I thought I would provide the answer. Another thing, when I add a comment, meaning I insert what I understood in my spirit as the Holy One placed the message upon my heart, it is added during the posting, NOT when the Lord is speaking. Now you know... :) BP2022
