Strong Ones

[Updated 1:45 AM-Jan28.2026 May this article bless you, and may Yahweh be glorified through Jesus -BP]

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. [1Cor 16:13] ESV

To those who have been standing strong, with silent cries, wailing silently [literally], holding back all sound so no one hears but God. Silent tears flowing down your face as if a leak had sprung somewhere in that invisible connection between the heart and the eyes.

It is written that Yahweh collects our tears in a bottle. (That is how precious our tears are to Him.) Does He send forth a holy angel to collect them? Does He command another holy one to mark that precious time in a book of records, for the day comes when you will be given a crown for it?

You have kept count of my tossing [restlessness]; and put my tears in your bottle: are they not in Your book? When I cry to You, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. [Ps 56:8-9]

Trials upon earth always end, even when they seem to be endless. The remnant of the Lord have groaned like Job, like Abraham, like Joseph, like Elijah, like so many of the remnant that have gone before you - groaning at what seems like a most difficult season that will never end.

Waiting and trust are two of the hardest lessons God's people must learn. Now is the time the enemy is doing all he can to make the true believers give up, to fall away. Ask Abraham. God is 'always' right on time. We are the impatient ones. Yes, waiting has always been a hard lesson. You are doing well.

Trusting anyone that we can see in a world such as this seems an impossibility, yet God is a profound teacher. He knows precisely how to teach us to trust Him, whom we cannot see. There are different levels of trust. Can you trust Yahweh that He will provide your next meal? 

Indeed, He fed the multitudes with two fish and five loaves of bread [miracle of the 5000] [Jn 6:13] with twelve baskets left over. When the godly widow of Zaraphath gathered up her mustard seed of faith, along with every ounce of trust in God she could muster, to selflessly make a little cake for Elijah the prophet, what happened?

She took the last of her oil and flour (which were to be the last meal for her son and her before they die in the famine). What was she thinking as it baked over the open fire and she glanced over at her young son? Yet, her faith and trust was rewarded. Indeed, Jehovah Jireh [the Lord will provide] came through.

He provided for the widow, making sure she had enough oil and flour to feed both her and her son for the duration of the famine. Yet, there are different levels of trust. How so? It is one thing to trust God for your next meal.

However, can you trust the same God if you have been given a diagnosis of a terminal illness? Leprosy in ancient times, and even in times not so long ago (late 1800s), was a death sentence.

Yet Jesus healed lepers. Can you trust God for healing? That is the different levels of trust. It is one thing to trust for your next meal and another to trust for something that has no cure. Whether you are healed on earth or when you meet the Lord, will you trust Him?

God will lead you. He will let you know. He speaks through His written Word (the Word is active, alive and speaks into today's situations). And even if you beg to be taken home, like Elijah, like Moses did, like many others who said, "It's enough!", you too will come through this time victoriously. 

You are already doing it; it just has not been easy, but you have not given up. You are still hoping, still trusting, still waiting. 

As everything in the world aligns for the prophetic time of the lawless one, so it is aligning for the promises many have been LONG waiting for...and never gave up, though it felt like it at times. You never let go when others did.

You hung in there with a mustard seed of faith [Mat 17:20], as small as it is, you held fast. That is why the opposition has been so strong, so chaotic, so confusing, so difficult. It is not punishment; it is a sure sign that you are about to enter into your promises.

When it was Stephen's time, or Paul's time, or Peter's time to leave this earth because of the hour of their persecution was upon them, as was their appointed time, God will give supernatural strength in that hour. They also 'knew' it was their time. They were not deceived. Fear not.

Whether you are walking into your promises or into eternity with the living God through Jesus Christ, His shalom covers - you will know. Give glory to a good and just God who watches over His own in this sinful, corrupted, defiled world.

Standing on the Word of God, speaking any one of the precious names or titles of our Creator, Yahweh, El Shaddai, running to Jesus, abiding  that is, clinging to Him like healthy grapes cling to a strong vine. You are a strong one.

The name above all names is like a strong tower, surrounding you with walls of strength and comfort – you sense the safety that lies in Him. You are a strong one for the joy of the Lord is your strength. [Neh 8:10]

                             

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe. [Prov 18:10]

In God will I praise His Word: in the Lord will I praise His Word. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. [Ps 56:10-11]

The reality of the spiritual warfare you are involved in even stings your nose. You are not afraid; you are tired. You are not giving up; you need rest. You have asked Father to send forth holy angels and assign them to keep your arms lifted up in prayer much like Aaron and Hur kept up the arms of Moses.

He will do something even more profound to remind you of His love and that no person, no demon, not even the devil himself can interfere and stop Yahweh’s love for you. The God of providence finds profound ways to assure you He is with you, such as stumbling across a random post out of billions on the internet – like this one.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, [nothing] shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Rom 8:38-39]

Hold up your shield of faith; hold fast to trust.

Yea, before the day was, I AM He; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who can turn it back? [Is 44:13] ESV

I AM the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. Thus says the LORD, who makes a way  Lord. [Rom 8:38-39]

Hold up your shield of faith; hold fast to trust.

Yea, before the day was I AM He; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who can turn it back? [Is 44:13]  KJV

I AM the LORD, your Holy in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and warrior [the power]; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick. 

He tells us to forget the past. It can serve no purpose. Do not let it define you. Allow Abba  to mold you into a vessel unto honour through which He will be glorified. You did not allow the long wait to make you bitter. Instead you cut the bitter root to the quick, with forgiving love

 

 Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not perceive [know] it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.  [Is 43:15-19]  KJV                 

Hope for the hopeless; courage for the discouraged; strength for the weak; truth for those once deceived.

Yeshua/Jesus is the way the truth and the life, and no one goes to the Father but through (by) Him. [Jn 14:6] NSAB

for His glory alone

Yahweh's Year-Remember Providence

 

NOTE: I will be adding pictures over the next day. Updates will be noted when they are done. The next post will hopefully be within the next couple of days. I am seriously planning to open a YouTube channel. 

I have no camera but neither do others, but I can surely do something. The facts are that things are moving so quickly, it is difficult for me to do research. I do not want to spend hours researching only to find out that I unknowingly contributed to handing out misinfo. or disinformation, or worse, deception.

The world is crying out for truth, and I pray He comes soon. Jesus! (Yeshua) He IS the way, the TRUTH and the life, and no one comes to God but through Him.

Will keep you posted (pun intended...it's okay to smile awhile) - End note BP

The Chaos of Distractions

For almost two years, readers have seen the word “distractions” mentioned on this site. The uptick has now become noticeable plethora of distractions feels chaotic, and that is one of the wiles of the devil.

And although his tactics involve busyness, doubts, interruptions, hindrances, and other ‘worries’, social media and news, with all the various platforms is one of Satan’s more successful breeding grounds. A perfect tool for deception.

The pull away from God/Jesus is very subtle when it comes to social media and news if we do not stay guarded. It is so easy to get caught up in hours of scrolling, which not only diverts our attention, it will progressively fracture [fragment] our focus.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me! [Lk 10:40] ESV

Martha was busy doing preparations for her company. She was distracted from being with Jesus, whereas Mary was not. She sat at His feet and listened.

Let your eyes look directly forward; and your gaze be straight before you. [Prov4:25] ESV

With the cross before you, and the world behind you. Those are the words to the hymn, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”. Distractions come at us from every direction ‘except’ straight ahead.

The distractions that come into our life are to draw us away from Jesus and to keep our focus on anything and everything but the Lord. So much information coming at us, and so many things demanding our attention, it does become overwhelming and chaotic.

The dizziness, busyness, and chaotic disarray swirling around us now is nothing compared to what is coming. Jesus has been preparing his people all along with repetitious trials and tribulations. When we put on our armour, as instructed, and having done all, to stand, then stand (and wait upon the Commander-in-Chief is all we can do.

I have fallen down that ‘social media’ bottomless pit when doing research, and would still be falling if the Holy Spirit had not caught me. It is so easy to go down a rabbit hole and get lost in the tunnel network. When you come back up out of the rabbit hole, you are so far from the original one you entered, you cannot find it.

Our Safety Net

The Lord corrects us, chastens us so that we will learn (if we are willing). Well over a decade ago, the Holy Spirit deposited a quote (it is HIS quote because it has not been said before in the words which He gave me).

It was during a season where I was searching for truth, but was concerned if something I believed was truth or deception. The quote: I would rather walk in the humility of correction than in the error of pride – Holy Spirit (envoy – BP)

I do not consider myself to be a humble soul, but I truly would rather be corrected than to walk around thinking something is right when it is actually wrong, if I had actually fallen into deception.

As for social media, I absolutely avoided it for years. (You cannot miss what you have never known.) My concern back then was being influenced by people instead of by God when giving a message from him. A reason arose where I finally decided to get on the social media train, only the Lord ended up intervening.

If the Holy Spirit had not caught me, I would likely still be falling, falling, falling further away from Jesus and my time with Him. Scripture warns us that the devil is crafty and subtle, but most of us figure we are clever enough to avoid the trap.

Then, without even realizing it, we become addicted to rapid-fire information that we can pick and choose with our “likes”, “dislikes”, and “follows”. Everyone seems to mention ‘algorithms’ and “subscribe”; yet every subscribe requests money to join.

Most creators of channels on YouTube are monetized. Many of the Christian false prophets and false teachers have become millionaires as a result. Even their websites ask to donate.

Billionaires like Erika Kirk, who has accused others of riding on the coattails of her (late) husband (recently mentioned on tour with TPUSA Faith) is doing the same thing herself – using Charlie’s name to generate donations.

Golden Age or Great Reset

That is something that will be discussed later on, but for now, it is more important that we come to understand that all these distractions are to keep us from what is really going on very quickly, and that is setting things up for the “Great Reset” or for what was once called the “New World Order”, likely Trump’s “Golden Age”.

Distractions are not only coming at us via the internet (social media and news reports), but they come at us on the home front. There have been more interruptions, hindrances, and distractions coming at work [for multitudes] and the home front that it is nearly impossible to believe, but it is a fact.

As the clock keeps ticking toward the time of the revealing of the lawless one, the son of perdition, ‘distractions’ are more alluring, more powerful, and more chaotic – but Yahweh is greater!

As if that were not enough, the adversary continues to come against God’s people. The way Satan attacks often depends upon a nations’ circumstances, whether it is war, terrorism, persecution, unrest or disaster.

All nations are guilty of deception at high levels, which has been evidenced throughout history, international relations (studies) and political science. I have not delved deeply into these subjects as they are not my forte; however, even a brief review of sources indicate that deception is nothing new in the political arena.

What we are seeing in the political arena lately is a plethora of distractions that leave behind a trail of chaos and confusion. It is all part of the plan, remember what people just a few years back stated. The Illuminati will bring forth “order out of chaos”, and many believe that to be the son of perdition, the lawless one.

However, it is not only what is going on in the headlines that distracts and brings chaos and confusion, but the same rings true on a more personal level. Not only do I see it or hear about it, I too am living it. We need Jesus – the whole world does, yet dangerously, the world is looking to the wrong source to “fix things”.

I am repeating myself in part because it is worth repeating. We have entered a time zone where there is no time to mess around. No more sitting on the fence. It is now time to take your stand.

Remember Providence

Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors; Remember the former things of old; for I AM God, and there is no other. I AM God and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and the ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose. [Is 46:8-10] ESV

Families are being torn apart. Friendships and other close relationships are being targeted for destruction. Not only do believers need to have the full armour of God on (which includes footwear = feet shod in the preparation of the gospel of peace), but we need our Commander-in-Chief giving us orders.

But remember providence. We need to ask ourselves why God is allowing this. Scripture holds the answer, as always. I remember back before I committed, when the Lord (in a dream) referenced scripture about being “sifted as wheat”.

Remember, the apostle Peter was told by Jesus that Satan had desired to sift him [Peter] like wheat, but Jesus assured the apostle that He had prayed for Peter.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desire to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith not fail, and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren. [Lk 22:31-32]

I was warned in a dream, backed up by scripture, yet I am safe in saying that it pertains to all who give their lives to Jesus. Never have I been so hungry for the WORD of God as I am these days.

This is happening right now to God’s people. This desire is not fear driven; it is the longing for wisdom and instruction, yes, but more importantly, with the good work Yahweh has done in us, there is that earnest desire to obey, to be in His will. Therein lies peace.

True happiness, peace and satisfaction only comes when we are uncompromisingly in God’s will. Discernment is no longer optional. It demands our consistent vigilance. Satan is not only attacking individuals, churches, and organizations anymore. He is conditioning the world and setting the stage for the lawless one.

This has been going on for decades, but the escalation is noticeable now. Time seems to have lost itself in ‘fast forward’; as the days seem to be flying by. Many people feel maxed out, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

In Faith, Hold Tightly to Jesus as the Winds Threaten Separation

If I could encourage you in any way, it would be this: to understand that the ‘targeting’, and the relentless use of distractions is twofold. Firstly, the intent is to separate, to divide families, friendships, brethren, and even nations.

Satan always counterfeits what God is doing. The apostle Peter exhorted us to not consider our trials and tribulations as strange because our faith is being tried. People often say they have faith, but the depth and reality of faith must be proven.

It will reveal how genuine faith is after the fires and wild winds of trials and tribulations knock faith around, shaking fiercely, like the sifting of wheat. The shaking tests the strength and genuineness of faith.

The wheat stands humbly, with heads bowed due to the weight of the fruit (grain). Tares stand proudly, but that reveals their lack of fruit (no weight to their faith). It is false, empty, unfruitful.

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith – more precious than gold that perishes thought it is tested by fire – may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ. [1Pet1:6-7]

Two or three years back, the Lord reminded us that it is written in His Word that He is separating cattle from cattle, rams from sheep. In other words, the separating was going to be amongst the same kind; sheep from sheep.

We have been in preparation mode for several years now. He is faithful to complete the work He began in us from the beginning.

Secondly, the distractions are designed to draw attention and focus away from Jesus/Yeshua and redirect it toward the major events unfolding around the world because this is the time that we need to be vigilant in prayer, faith and strength.

These are no small distractions. They threaten world peace, shatter the confidence in world leaders, erode the hope in spiritual leaders, and destroy all trust in the media, governments, and people in general.

The Real and the Imitation

The Holy Scriptures speak of a lawless one, a son of perdition, but what form this will take, we do not know. It may be a human [homo sapiens] or a ProtoClone [a highly advanced humanoid].

Keep the latter in mind, considering the age of technology we have been in for decades. It is going forward with nothing holding it back.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall NOT COME, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. [2Thes 2:4] (Emphasis mine-BP)

Or perhaps it may take the form of a ‘beast system’ that presents itself through an image or manifestation, one reminiscent of the creation called, ‘The Giant’, “a programmable, moving statue 10-stories tall and covered with millions of LED pixels”, capable of taking on the appearance of any person. SOURCE: azcentral

Regardless of the form, the purpose remains the same: deception (Jesus made a strong reference to this in the latter days), distraction, and the drawing away of hearts from the truth.

We are hardwired with instincts to ensure survival. These biological impulses are innate (inborn, natural). Instincts are not something we learn; they are automatic (instantaneous), unconscious reactions.

Discernment is not something everyone has. When we are ‘born again’, the Holy Spirit, which is the essence, the very presence of God grants us discernment. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth – that would include discernment.

In these last days, just as the Bible instructs us to fill our lamps with oil – that ‘oil’ is the Holy Spirit. We are encouraged, rather instructed, to ask for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children”, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. [Lk11:13]

Fresh Infilling of the Holy Spirit

Some may argue that Jesus is speaking about when we are born again; however, we are automatically filled with the Holy Spirit upon conversion. In Acts 2, those gathered in the Upper Room experienced Pentecost.

F.B. Meyer, a pastor and evangelist whose writings are found as commentaries in the online Bible, e-Sword, speaks about Peter being filled (again) specifically in Act 4:8, for the “great and noble confession”, when he spoke to the Sadducees (who were agnostics), regarding the resurrection of Jesus.

Then in Acts 4:31, which was after Peter and John had been arrested and spent a night in custody, reveals to us that when they were filled “with the Holy Spirit” in verse 31, it was in response to prayers for boldness, and after persecution had begun.

I have often asked to be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit over the past two decades since committing to Jesus. With what is going on these days, I certainly need the help of the Holy Spirit to discern properly. I cannot do it without Him; He is perfect – I am not, nor will I be on this side of eternity.

When we are told to be “perfect” as the Lord is, it means “whole, set apart, complete”. As a reminder, the adversary and his minions are conditioning the world for what is written in the Bible. God allows what He does because of His plan. His Word does not return void; it will accomplish that which He sends it to.

The greatest danger of this chaos is not the chaos itself, but that amidst the chaos, there will come a falling away, which will increase as the great tribulation comes upon the world.

People will stop watching and praying, and they will stop reading and searching the Holy Scriptures, not anchor themselves in the Holy Word of El Shaddai [Yahweh].

I can promise you that I did NOT know this, and I fell deeply into distractions - not all, but certain ones, like the Erika Kirk saga – a long and dramatic history that is already nearly four months in duration, as people (including myself) dig for truth.

However, we must apply the brakes and NOT allow it to consume us. It does not mean we cannot talk about it or fight for truth. It means not to allow it to steal your main focus. Jesus/God must be first in our lives, and when He is, expect to be targeted, but do NOT operate in FEAR.

This is Yahweh’s Year – 2026

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him. [Col 1:16] NASB

The LORD [Yahweh] has made all things for Himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. [Prov16:4] KJV

All things, visible and invisible, He created. He made everything for Himself, then He has control over everything – despite outward appearances. Satan wants us to fear. At times I fell into fear by looking at what was in my eyesight (circumstances), but it did far worse.

It canceled TRUST, and faith is married to trust. Without trust, my faith falters and cannot stand. With trust, faith is strong, and fear has no dominion over me. How do we overcome fear.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. [Rom 10:17] THAT is how we address fear. It is also a spirit, an evil spirit. Submit to God. RESIST the devil and what? He MUST flee. [Jam 4:7]

Pray for balance. Repent if you have need of repentance. Keep a repentant heart for we all struggle to keep sin at bay in thought, word, and deed. We have not arrived; therefore, let us be honest, and keep searching our hearts, picking up the cross daily.

If we mess up with a cuss word, or anger, or make mistakes some other way, truly repent and leave the consequences in God’s hand. He sees the heart, whether genuine or false. We can fool others but we cannot fool God.

Keep strong. If God is for us, who can be against? Pray for a fresh infilling of the precious and Holy Spirit of God, because now more than ever, the children (people) of Yahweh must keep our eyes upon Jesus.

He must be first, and our main focus, listening for the voice of the true Commander-in-Chief. We serve the living God; there is none else.

I AM the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded you, though you have not known Me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I AM the Lord, and there is none else.

For behold, Your enemies make an uproar; they consult together against your treasure ones. They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” [Ps 83:2-4]

Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace that they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. [vs 17-18]

Remember providence. We serve a Sovereign and Providential God [Yahweh]. That is why I say that although great trouble will present itself this year (it has begun), there will be blessings too.

But keep in mind the times we are in – the great tribulation is almost upon the world – the entire globe is in an uproar. Yet, because Yahweh is sovereign and providential, I still say, 2026 is Yahweh’s year.

Deception is seductive and subtle. It is often surrounded by confusion and doubt.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [1Cor 14:33]

Look unto Jesus, author and finisher of our faith. [Heb 12:2]

Spiritual Warfare is Targeting the True Children of Light

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. [1Tim 3:12] NASB [New American Standard Bible]

If the world hates you, you know it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world therefore, the world hates you. [Jn 15:19] KJV

Ruthless enemies [Satan and his minions, both spiritual [demons] and physical (sinners)] are targeting a great number of God’s people. Satan has always set about to ‘steal, kill, and to destroy’, but it has been amped up to as high as ‘he is allowed’ levels. Many people feel that they are maxed out, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

The combination of Satan and the world [sinners, idol worshippers/Satanists et al] that are coming against the ‘sold-out’ Christian, those who are sold out to Yeshua (our Jesus).

The spiritual warfare that we are in cannot be sugarcoated, but it is a quiet understanding that Christians have. If they are not aware of it, then they are not familiar with what the Bible says. Try reading Ephesians 6, for starters.

And even though we know it, there are times when the enemy will turn it around to cause us to doubt, to doubt ourselves, our faith, whether we are saved or not, who we are in Christ, the authority given to us – anything that pertains to the faith.

He will try to put a spirit of fear upon us (see [1Tim 1:7]), especially in the areas where we have been faithfully waiting for God to answer our prayers, whether it is health, career (work), finances, possessions, health, or relationships (especially with those close to you, whether family or friends).

He will endeavour to steal our hope, and to kill our faith. This is especially when something happens in life where there is NO possible OUT of the situation unless God Himself intervenes.

When our hearts and lives are surrendered to Yeshua/Jesus, and we are abiding in Him, it does not mean that we will not face sickness, trials, tribulation, persecution, and hardships like the prosperity preachers deceptively teach.

We are not only living in a fallen world, but we are living amongst sinners, who are still practicing sin. None of us are perfect but we cannot keep using that as an excuse to keep on sinning. If we do, then we are not truly saved, not willing to let go of the old, sinful nature.

Yes, it is a process and no, we will not reach perfection on this side of eternity. Nevertheless, we come daily before Jesus and be willing to fight the fleshly desires and temptations that come at us. It is a process that the Holy Spirit helps us with, as does Yahweh.

He who began a good work in you will see it through to the day of Jesus Christ. [Phil 1:6]

Satan or any of his legions are not coming at us with just hard, fast swats like an angry, roaring lion. Many times, he is hidden, covert, but in these days, his pride has risen. He is bolder for his time is nearly here where he has a free reign (tribulation period) while he expresses his anger through the Antichrist of all antichrists. He is not stealth or covert at that time.

Know this, that when people fight for truth, and determine to only bring truth forward, expect to be targeted, not only by the world [flesh], and by the unsaved, and the false Christians [apostate, reprobate], but also spiritually by Satan and his legions [demonic realm].

The enemy, Satan, and his minions, despise the truth. If you represent truth, especially with Christ abiding in you, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit as a child of the living God, Satan hates you; the world hates you; false ‘brethren’ hate you.

I AM the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me. [Jn 14:6] 

The Distractions are Intentional

The global upheaval, along with the chaos and confusion are noticeably increasing, but deception will be what tempts to drive ungodly people mad (insane). The Lord said that in the time of the great tribulation, people’s hearts will fail them for fear. That could mean paralyzed emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, or it could mean literal heart attacks.

With the rise of the robots and the rise of AI, I believe it will be in all areas. That is why this is now the time to search your heart, acknowledge your sins (we ALL have sinned since entering this world and fall short of the glory of Adonai [Yahweh] – [Rom 3:23]

When you recognize sin for the evil it is, and godly sorrow fills you, you will be humbled. Just pray, speak own words from your heart and soul, what is personally going on in you, and Jesus will meet you right there, ready to listen as you turn from your sin and the world and toward Him. He will forgive, and heal. [Jn3:16-19]

Every single one of us need Jesus to get through that which is ahead.

The Distractions are intentional because of what they are doing quickly in plain sight, but we are so distracted, especially by the Charlie and Erika Kirk saga, and ICE, and the takeover of countries by Trump.

Does anyone remember when Trump wanted to be dictator for a day? Does anyone recall when he believed himself to be ‘king’ and a ‘chosen one’. Trump allowed people to pray who worship false gods [inauguration].

He also surrounds himself with false Christians like Paula White-Cain (Trump’s spiritual advisor and well-known false ‘apostle’, ‘prophet’, ‘teacher’ – key figure in the prosperity gospel). White-Cain has also endorsed and bowed her knee to  ‘Mother Moon’, which is idolatry and blaspheme.

Trump also continues to surround himself with false prophets like Lance Wallnau. Robert Morris was on Trump’s Evangelical Executive Advisory Board in 2016. A few other well-known people on the board (besides those already mentioned here like Paula White-Cain): Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, James Dobson (deceased 2025), Jentezen Franklin, James Robison, et al, who will be mentioned in next article.

Digital ID and AI (Clones)

The distractions such as that like Erika Kirk, Epstein, Diddy, Tyler Robinson trial, ICE troubles, and much more, are indeed distracting from things such as digital ID. There is a push for digital ID systems to be in effect by the end of 2026, particularly in Europe. The UK has scaled back plans for mandatory digital ID for most citizens, as of an AI overview, dated January 21, 2026. (I started this post over two weeks ago, but keep deleting and adding.)

The warfare (spiritual) around me has been very real, and very difficult. I am grateful for the prayers that have gone up on my behalf – so very thankful. I wait upon the Lord and give Him glory. I am not going to pretend that it is easy not to look at the circumstances (just being real), but Jesus!

Christ IS an ever-present help in trouble.

Canada, beginning with Alberta, plan to have digital ID mandatory as early as late 2026, and exact date has not been given.

As of now, the officials are claiming we Canadians will always be in control, whether we want the digital ID or physical card (@3:58) but a later video forecasts a different scenario. This will be in the next post.

Part of the distraction is cleverly hidden in plain sight (forgive me for overuse, but if the shoe fits...) Cloning has been known since the 70s, when Dolly the sheep was cloned. She lived half of the life expectancy for her breed, which was 11-12 years. She died at age 6.5 from lung disease and severe arthritis.

Most of the media has remained fairly hush-hush about cloning, but it is incredibly surprising what they have managed so far. I believe it is even beyond (further advanced) that what the report says. It will be expounded on in the next post.

Globalization

WEF (World Economic Forum) is holding its 56^th Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from January 19 -23 (today is the last day for 2026). This particular session called: A Spirit of Dialogue. Interesting title, yes?

Close to 3,000 leaders from across regions, sectors and generations from 130 countries came together, including a record 400 top political leaders, nearly 65 heads of state and government, a majority of G7 leaders, close to 830 of the world’s top CEOs and chairs, and almost 80 leading unicorns and technology pioneers.

                           

Some highlights will be mentioned in next post. Do you remember when a woman who called an indigenous shaman was invited by neo-pagan WEF in January 2024 (two years ago) to cast ‘magic spells’ (perform a ritual) on its panelists.

That particular year, the theme was “Rebuilding Trust”.

She is a witch, but most are more comfortable calling her a ‘witch doctor’], as if that lessens the reality or presence of evil being called good. 

She was videoed making incantations and blowing on each of the six panelists.

Is Trump Using ICE as a Distraction to Take Eyes Off Greenland?

Under a video, there is this writeup: Jan 16, 2026 – Russia claims there will be “serious consequences” from NATO militarizing Greenland, as it asserts both its own innocence in the matter and legitimate interest in the whole Arctic region.

Russia and China do not pose any threat to Greenland, and any interest shown in the region by Russia is a legitimate expression of it being the “largest Arctic power”, Moscow said on Thursday as it claimed Moscow and Beijing were being used as pretexts by NATO to militarize the high north.

Russia considers the Arctic part of its sphere of influence and preciously warned the US it considers its part of its “strategic interests”. Speaking from the Kremlin, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova accused American and European NATO powers of invoking Russian expansionism as a cover to their own intentions and lashed out at hypocrisy.

Noting Russia is “closely monitoring the situation around Greenland”, Zakharova appeared to be attempting to tease NATO, noting Denmark’s subordinate position to the “senior ally” America, and calling on the two to settle their differences through international law. (End of video writeup)

Greenland claims it has no fear about Russia or China as neither country has ships in their waters. More in next post.

Conclusion

There is much going on that is bringing prophecy into fruition with its actions as countries around the world are experiencing civil unrest (rebellion is global). However, the distractions that are not only global, but personal as well, has gotten our attention on many areas.

There is so much to pray about, does one even know where to start? The things that have been going on in my life has caused me to draw nearer to God (Yahweh) than ever before. Just when I thought things could not possibly get worse, they did.

Satan is doing all he can to steal hope, kill love, and destroy faith, but we have an Advocate, Jesus. We have a Comforter, the Holy Spirit. We have a powerful God and King, Yahweh.

I would have halted if it were not for those who prayed, and if it were not for a faithful God who will continue to help us through the dark hours as we wait upon Him. Stay in the Word. It has helped me immensely because God truly does speak through His Word. It is alive and powerful, and it is also a mighty weapon.

I will try to get the next post up soon. I will be adding pictures etc to this. As I update it, I will write it at the top of the article. Once I learned the importance of informing people about changes or updates with online articles, I post updates at the top of the article. There was a time I did not know better and didn’t. Now I know…

To be continued…

Miracles Still Happen

                             

Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?  [Heb 1:14] KJV

Sometimes we need to stop and take a deep breath, and look around. We will see Yahweh. His presence is everywhere; it is all around us. Perhaps the Red Sea is not parting today, it already parted victoriously. Perhaps great thick walls like those in Jericho are not falling down; they already fell victoriously.

And that night that the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. [2Kings19:35] ESV

185,000 Assyrians were killed

Yahweh is omniscient [all-knowing] indeed. His providence and sovereignty are acknowledged by all Christians, but how the good Lord executes His sovereign will is out of the scope of my finite mind.

Does anyone truly have 100% understanding and enough deep intimate knowledge of God to answer how He exercises His power, and how it intertwines and rules our ‘free will’?

I know that You can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from You. [Job 42:2] KJV

I am quite satisfied and comfortable letting God be God. In a time such as these days are, when things seem helter-skelter, it is good to practice the discipline of reading the Word of God to strengthen our faith (for we know that faith comes by hearing the Word of God [Rom 10:17]). 

It is also a good idea to read good reports that reveal the power of God, as they will make your hope soar like an eagle. Both will re-enforce our courage and give us the “oomph” to endure to the end - particularly in reading the Word. It is food (Bread) and drink (living Water) for our spirit. 

And Jesus said to them, I AM the bread of life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst.  [Jn 6:35]

He that believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. [Jn 7:38] (Emphasis in verses mine)

It not only keeps us grounded and balanced, it is one of the ways that the Good Shepherd speaks to us. The Lord's ways are marvellous.

It seemed like a good time to lift the hopes and the spirits of readers because we all could use it, and you deserve it. Christians rejoice when we hear of a miracle, or are blessed enough to witness one.

A close friend of mine, Donna L. [Virginia] who also happens to be a beloved sister in Christ has a young son in his 30s, who is definitely under God’s watchful eye. She has graciously granted me permission to share the following. It is 100% proof that God is indeed sending forth His Word to manifest a miracle. The holy angels are at His command. [Psalm 91]

Miracles did not stop when Jesus/Yeshua ascended into heaven. They happen regularly in a world where over eight billion souls are looking for answers, but it is a rare thing for MSM (mainstream media) to brighten our day with rays of hope.

[NOTE: Updated Dec 14, 2025: Editing; removed some doubly-entered info. Also corrected jumbled sentences, as well as corrected info about Michael's work. I had stated that Michael is a trucker, but that was incorrect. 

Michael is a high-voltage lineman, which is a skilled trade position. He works high up on poles and towers, but also underground. I searched online to get an accurate job description. These skilled technicians work with dangerous high-voltage electricity, using "specialized equipment and rigorous training for safety." 

They install/erect poles and towers, construct and maintain, inspect, test, and fix lines, transformers, switches, insulators, and streetlights, ensuring power reliability.  Michael often works on high poles where he either has to climb the pole or use a hydraulic lift (bucket). 

You will see one in the pictures below. When violent storms knock out power lines, or cause disruptions in necessary and vital services, qualified linemen like Michael are called in on an emergency basis. These workers are often under pressure to restore power quickly.

Many times he is called in when storms are still raging, or the storm has barely ended and road conditions are considered dangerous, and extreme caution is advised. Black ice is often difficult to see, if at all. [End update-BP]

It was such a time as that when Michael received an urgent call to repair damage and restore power. No one knew that on that particular day God already had a plan. Michael was about to find out that miracles still happen! 

It was on a biting cold December day in New York, Michael faced one of those days where snow and ice were challenging all of his driving skills. Everything happened quickly. He was focusing on the work he had to do ahead of him, when suddenly the truck he was driving seemed to have a mind of its own.

Once the tires hit a slippery section, Michael was unable to regain control. He slid into a culvert and flipped the truck on its side. The broken glass and mangled steel came to rest along the side of the road. 

Below are the pictures.

As incredible as it is, Michael walked away from that accident without so much as a scratch. The truck did not get off so easy. Unfortunately, the truck was totalled - a complete write-off. 

Another miraculous thing is that no other vehicles were involved. No one else was hurt in the accident. My friend was very grateful that her son was alright. 

She immediately saw it as the providence of God and gave glory to Jesus. When she told me about it and sent the pictures, I concurred. To God be all the glory, with thanksgiving! 

May this encourage you, knowing that God is still assigning and dispatching His angels today. He sent one out to take care of 185,000 Assyrians, and He sent one out for Michael (that was a big truck).

Double Trouble

I hesitated about adding this part for two reasons. 

[1] Christmas is a controversial subject for many Christians. Like so many things these days, there is a division over it. Some believe it celebrates Jesus and is opportunity to witness and others see it as pagan brought in by Constantine...and pushed by Vatican. 

But in these days of constant bad reports, my heart was to make readers smile...even just for a few moments. 

[2] I am in the camp that does not celebrate it due to original pagan roots, when Constantine mixed pagan beliefs with Christianity. Is this compromise? If it is, I will make a public apology and repent, but in truth, at this time, I do not see this make-believe for children as sin.

Please write or comment and let me know.

This activity was not around when my children were young, but what is trending with the young children these days apparently, at Christmas time is the appearance of Santa's elves at nighttime when everyone is asleep.

As stated, I do not celebrate Christmas (well, I give a gift if I can...but this year I cannot afford it.) I am glad. I have to stick with what I believe. Many people say that it is the only time they can get together with family or friends because most work places shut on Christmas.

I have to search more. There are several factors that convinced me back in 2005 about Christmas. All my friends celebrated it. Most people say the verse below does NOT speak about a Christmas tree. Okay, perhaps not, but it sure sounds eerily close to the wrong kind of celebration.

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it moves not. 

Forasmuch as there is none like unto You O LORD; You are great, and Your name is great in might. [Jer10:3-4;6]

There are 364 other days to give gifts, and that is what I say. I celebrate Jesus every day - a gift can be given any day. That is my outlook. 

To me, the greatest day to celebrate is the day we are born again...all because of what Jesus did. I will leave it there for now. I do not have the answers I need yet. The fact that the WORLD celebrates it gives me pause. The 'world' does not celebrate Jesus or anything about Him. Selah

Shared Home

Meanwhile, my son and eldest daughter and I all share a house. My son has an eight-year-old boy, and they (along with my daughter) all celebrate  Christmas.. When my children were young, I was not committed to the Lord, let alone surrendered, and I did celebrate Christmas back then.

My 34-year-old son shares access, so his son is not here full-time, but he is here every weekend, and special holidays are shared. There are a couple of cute things my son did with the elves which I am going to share here, just to make you smile.

I am unsure when the "elves" became popular. I have been told that the elves do not talk when you see them; they stay in a stationary position. Two of these mischievous deeds the elves (my son) carried out were really done to make his older sister and me laugh, which it did. 

The two I am going to show here were not seen by my eight-year-old grandson. He is too young and it is not appropriate for a child. My son put them up to make us laugh, then put them away before his son returned on the weekend.

So, here goes.

Quite the characters those two elves are, hey? Whether I celebrate Christmas or not, I have to admit, I got a kick of the scenarios. I mean…it was funny!

Coming Up

The next post shows convincing evidence that the memorial speech of Erika Kirk, including mannerisms, tone, just…everything, was scripted. And it would appear that her interview with Faux (err Fox) News interviewer Harris Faulkner included a teleprompter, unless someone else can explain what is very evident.

I take no delight in this. As anyone can see by scrolling my archive list, I have not been in any hurry, or posting feverishly to put any conspiratorial, or any negative articles out. However, when anyone uses the name of Jesus to promote an agenda, when the people, particularly the youth who deserve truth and hope and honesty (actually we all do) are being exploited and deceived, then I fight for the truth.

Our youth are wise in the ways of technology, having been raised on it, but there is still a vulnerability and innocence in youth that an older person can manipulate and take advantage of. That infuriates me to no end because that is the devil's work (Satan).

Yahweh has had enough. He has been preparing His people. The wait has nearly done us all in, but instead, we have been getting stronger, learning to endure, and more - much more. It has not been easy, but it is worth it for the kingdom.

We forge forward with Jesus our Messiah leading through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Much prayer, many tears and long days of waiting have gone into this because as stated, I take no pleasure in the condition this corrupted world is in or in deceiving people. There has been emotional manipulation going on as well.

King David and Bathsheba, Judas, Jezebel, Samson and Delilah, Balaam…these were some of the people brought up in past articles…some after fasting.  Judas goes as far back as June or July the Lord warned. I have to check the archives but one article mentions “Season of Judas”.

Egypt and it showing up ‘highlighted’ when I was reading the Word of God, Gaza, again. Let me make on thing perfectly clear. There is much antisemitism happening these days, actually ever since shortly after the horrific massacre, kidnapping, and torture carried on in the war of Hamas in 2023. There is not ONE nation that is sinless today, not one.

Yes, Israel is like the rest of us…steeped in sin, but the hatred for it right now is off the charts. I do believe there are some things going on in Israel that has stirred the wrath of God. But before you point a gnarly finger, best look inside our own countries.

But there is something suspicious about the evidence that has been presented. The mixture is to cause confusion. There are those pushing FOR Israel more than they ought right now (never interfere with God’s judgment; it won’t work), and the flip side is about those pushing AGAINST Israel with a hatred that has Satan’s signature all over it.

These are things I’ve been working on tirelessly, along with prayer…along with CONSTANT distractions, interruptions and hindrances. Good and bad are fast approaching (yes, I know they are already here, but I speak of miracles, as well as fearful times).

Stay close (abiding) in Jesus (like healthy grapes on a strong vine). Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit with the Word of God. Keep that sword of yours sharpened, warrior. I have been discipling myself this way too, with the help of precious Jesus.

So much happening…but FIRST, I want to stay balanced by keeping Jesus/Yeshua first. And second, I only want truth to go forth, not drama, not sensationalism or emotionalism. Stay away from the “isms’, my friends. Shalom in Christ.

for His glory alone

the one below would not load properly. After four attempts, I decided here was good enough. The grandson left the elf hot chocolate. The elf made some for the grandson and could not understand why the chocolate was so 'gross'.

(Because it was gravy mix...) Smile awhile!
