The Great Hindrance

[Of David] The Lord is my light and my salvation, so why should I be afraid? Adonai [the LORD] is my fortress, protecting me from danger. Why should I tremble? [Ps 27:1] NLT [New Living Translation]

It is still a serious consideration to create a YouTube channel (likely faceless – no camera) to share whatever the Lord places upon my heart. He has countless voices. I do get that, and am well aware that I am but a drop in the bucket…an old dependable cliché.

I had a thought: allow me to express it this way.

If all of God’s messengers were water in a bucket and I were but a tablespoon of that water, my removal would scarcely be noticed. The remaining water would immediately flow in and fill the space I left behind. The reality is humbling, but the Lord is so worth it. People are desperate for truth, even though many refuse [reject] the truth when they hear it.

For two decades, I have strived to share the gospel of Jesus Christ [the Great Commission] [Mk 16:15; Mat 28:19-20] as all born-again believers, as salt and light, are instructed to do. I have done my best to never touch the glory of God or think more highly of myself than I ought, yet I do realize that my absence from the internet would not shake things up.

That is what it is all about because the work is the Lord’s; it is all His doing. As it has always been from the beginning, others will continue sharing the Good News.

Pride can be subtle (not always obvious). I have to guard against pride in myself: this flesh cannot be trusted, and my own heart can deceive me. [Jer 17:9] But Jesus! I can still mess up (hopefully less as we mature in Christ), yet Abba has done an amazing work in me compared to what I once was, just as He promised.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: [Phil 1:6]

It’s imperative to me that people know that Jesus does this for everyone who sincerely hungers and thirsts for Him. He is Living Water; the Bread of Life. [Jn 4:10; 6:35] He is the Potter; we are the clay. [Is 64:8] He is the Good Shepherd; we are the sheep who can easily stray. [Jn 10:11] The same transformation and grace are available to all.

He is not looking for perfect vessels, but rather, He is looking for vessels to perfect. 

[inspired by the precious Holy Spirit - BP2026]

As much as I have tried to keep up with daily writing, I am slower these days for many reasons. Years back, I began mentioning “distractions” in my writing, and ‘hindrances’ (such as the apostle Paul spoke of being ‘hindered’ by the adversary [Satan] [1Thes2:18].

Recently, I overheard my nine-year-old grandson warning a friend during a game to watch out for the “distraction box”, designed to lay false clues that would send ‘rogue agents’ down the wrong trail. Sounds like Satan and his minions, does it not?

“Distraction box”. That phrase stuck with me.

Friends, every generation has faced distractions in different ways. Solomon had a point when he wrote that nothing is new under the sun. [Eccl 1:9] We have been contending with that since Eden; it is part of the fallen human nature.

However, Solomon was not exposed to the technologies or AI that we have today. Jesus did say that things that are coming are things that have never been before, and shall never be repeated.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Mat 24:21]

The adversary and his minions, alongside the world, continually work to shape our thinking, influence our emotions, and direct our reactions, conditioning us to accept what should never be accepted. Some call it conditioning; I call it programming.

For now, I would appreciate your prayers as I consider starting a YouTube channel. I do not know whether I can continue keeping pace through writing alone. Things are moving quickly in this world, and 2030 is almost upon us. (Another topic, another day).

If you think time is going fast now, wait until the great tribulation begins. Things will move so quickly, hardly anyone will be able to keep up – except in one way. Jesus (Yeshua)! We all need Him, and that need will only increase!

What About Conspiracies?

A conspiracy is a plot or plan by two or more people involving a dangerous act or event that causes evil or harm to befall others.

Jesus is the Way to Stay Balanced

Jesus is our steady ground...
our foundation.
He will keep us balanced
if we let Him - we seek Him

The Assyrians were treacherous enemies of the Israelites, and the people were terrified when they heard the armies had gathered for an impending attack, thus denying the power of the living God. Even Isaiah was tempted to walk in fear, but the Lord strongly counselled the prophet.

For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: Do not say, A conspiracy to all this people call a conspiracy, and do not fear their fear, nor be in dread. But the LORD of hosts himself is the one to fear; He is the one you are to dread. [Is 8:11-13] ESV

 

He was not to call conspiracy what the people called conspiracy, and he was not to fear their fear. It was not whether the threats or political realities were real or not. The issue was the fear of the Assyrians’ power overwhelming them instead of placing their trust in the ‘Lord of hosts’ and remembering HIS power. Their fear was the dread of the conspiracy being acted out.

Fast-forward hundreds of years to the words of Jesus.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Mat 10:28]

The Lord does not want us to be so fixated on the evil in this world that we are in constant dread. Violence, rebellion, corruption, and deception have been around from the beginning, as in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah. 

Ever since the flood, the lesson has remained the same. Believers in the living God are not to walk in fear and constant dread of the world’s darkness, but to stay balanced and anchored in God’s providence and sovereignty. Trust is the key.

We are instructed to watch and pray, which we are to do calmly, not as one consumed by the uncertainties and the wickedness all around. There are obvious imbalances, which many simply call division. Extremes on both sides are what are causing the dynamic equilibrium of the scales.

It seems that conspiracies and demons share a commonality. Some see them everywhere and in everything, whilst others deny their very existence, even when it is plainly visible. Whether one walks in paranoia driven by obsessive fear or in dismissal due to naivety, believers are called to neither because both avoid trust in God.

Deception, evil, and conspiracies all exist, and so does the adversary and his invisible armies. Our confidence is not found in uncovering the plots, but in finding our strength in Jesus, gaining more discernment through the Holy Spirit, and remaining steadfast in faith by keeping Jesus as our first love. Deception exists, but it is not the final word.

Time Speeds Up and Slows Down

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. [Mk 4:22; Lk 8:17]

Hopefully, all that has been written is kept in mind because now I continue with part two of the previous article posted a few days ago. In the last article, I spoke about time and CERN experiments regarding time. 

What I shared were conspiracy facts, not theories.  It is no secret that the shutdown of CERN is a reality. The video at that link was posted three months ago. The reason I brought CERN up was that I am constantly hearing people talk about how fast the days are going and time itself.

It is mentioned casually, but these comments are heard from strangers, or people I know (family, friends, neighbours), in articles, on podcasts, from young people to the elderly. People are noticing something wrong with time. 

CERN actually gave a reason scientifically (bringing up Einstein and this theory of relativity). The first part explains the theory of time. Scroll to CERN.

My thoughts go toward Jesus, who stated that unless He shortened the time in the coming days, no flesh would be saved alive. That is how serious the destruction of the world will be. If left up to us, humankind will destroy the world and everything alive in it. [Mat 24:22]

Increased Discernment Only Comes from Jesus

Like many others, I have been praying to Jesus that I would not be deceived, and if my discernment is lacking in some area, that He would reveal it. Most believers are praying for increased discernment, given the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:24, but also given the increase of things that are being exposed these past years.

Deception abounds.

 

Prayers are not always answered instantaneously, but they are answered. That has always been my experience. At times, there are things we must learn before an answer comes. Other times, the Lord must take care of things in the background before He reveals a matter, particularly if exposure involves people.

I do not pretend to have all the answers or all the understanding of God’s ways; none of us do. In fact, I know very little when it comes to the deep well of knowledge, especially when I discovered that the well is consistently being filled up from an ocean of knowledge.

That insight and understanding caused me to adopt the adage: “The more I learn, the less I know.”

And the Word of God causes me to walk more humbly as it confirms the truth.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. [Is 55:8-9]

 

Overcoming our old nature is a process as we learn to avoid temptations and the devil when we proclaim the Word of God, and walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. We lay down our lives daily by picking up the cross and nailing our fleshly lusts [passions], desires, and cravings to it.[Rev 12:11]

This walk is not easy, but I can promise you that the longer we abide in Jesus, the easier it gets.

Jesus helps us, but He will not force us to do His will. Most of us are astounded at the chaos, corruption, and deception that are in the church and in the world today. The infiltration began back in the days of the apostles.

One final point should be emphasized. We must distinguish between discernment and suspicion, as they are not the same thing. There were times I confused the two, but the Holy Spirit was gracious and pointed out my error.

I would rather walk in the humility of correction than in the error of pride. (An expression the Holy Spirit gave me approximately nine years ago – to God alone be the glory.)

Although deception abounds, truth is more powerful. God is truth, and all things are under His control and sovereign authority.

We guard against being cynical, suspicious, and fearful by seeking God. In doing so, we will be seeking the truth. If we fear anything, let us fear God, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. [Prov 9:10]

If we submit wholly to Jesus and walk humbly with Him by the power of the Holy Spirit, our discernment grows. The more we are aware of Yahweh’s holiness and perfection, the less we are overtaken by fear. We will then be guided by truth, for Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. [Jn 14:6]

Sounding the Alarm to Warn of Danger

Before I finished the previous article on ticks (first part), it was important to say the above to keep the focus on Jesus. Everything the Lord does is done decently and in order, and I intend to follow in His footsteps.

In this concluding second part, I will separate fact from fiction so that readers can pray effectively and specifically.

Thirty-three is a number that means much to me because it immediately brings to mind Ezekiel chapter 33. The Lord instructs the prophet to be a watchman, warning of impending judgment and any approaching danger he sees coming.

If he sounds the alarm and warns the people, yet they refuse to listen, their blood is upon their own heads. [33:4] However, if he sees a sword coming upon the land [God’s judgment] and fails to warn the people, then the Lord will hold the watchman accountable for his negligence. [33:6] For example, consider the prophet Jonah.

This is not about ticks being God’s judgment. Rather, this is about fulfilling the role of a watchman. When we see danger approaching, we are obligated to warn others. Whether they listen or not is ultimately between them and the Lord.

Some people teach that we are not under the law, but under grace. That is true; however, we are not lawless people. The adversary and his antichrist will be lawless.

Jesus summarized the law in two commandments: We are to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our being, and to love others as ourselves. [Mat 22:37-40] All ten commandments are fulfilled if we faithfully keep these two.

 

When we warn others of impending danger, whether they are believers or not, we are obeying the Lord by carrying out the second commandment. Our obedience is motivated first by our love for Christ and then by our love for others.

 

Ticks and Red Meat Allergy

There is a growing concern with ticks that goes beyond Lyme disease. Although that is concerning enough, tick bites have now also been linked to the Alpha-gal syndrome, which is an allergic reaction to red meat, and for some folks, dairy products as well.

 

needs a little help to grow

I have never liked ticks (who does?), but almost two months ago, when it was still cold here in Ontario, my son removed a crawling tick from the arm of his eight-year-old son, and three more from the dog. Ironically, of all things, our dog is a Bluetick coonhound mix! (He has been mentioned in previous articles – beautiful dog)

The snow had melted, but it was still too cold outside for ticks (at least, that is what I thought). But apparently, some species of ticks become active even in somewhat cooler temperatures. Good to know!

After I personally observed evidence of what I believed to be unusual tick behaviour, I decided to dig a little deeper. There was a reason the number “33” kept showing up, and no, I am not the sort to look for signs and wonders.

 

However, my Creator knows me. He knows that this number signals me to be on the watch [watchman], to pay attention and pray for His leading. He is ever faithful. Just as He instructed Isaiah, Yahweh does not want us walking in fear.

The Lord did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind. [2Tim1:7]

 

Jesus does not want us to walk in ignorance and be caught off-guard either. He wants us to be aware of our surroundings, just as He was during His time upon this earth, but not to allow fear to halt or hinder us.

We understand that there are many conspiracies out there, announced agendas and plans in the world today, but we really need to stay anchored to Jesus, the Bible, prayer, and His will [plan].

That is why Jesus calls us to abide in Him and to hold fast to faith. We are to fear only God, which is to understand and trust in His sovereignty and providence.

 

Official Sites with Helpful Information about Ticks

Now I am coming to a section that most assuredly needs the Lord’s guidance. I have done my best to stick to trustworthy sources, but this is where the Lord’s wisdom and knowledge, along with discernment, must be sought through prayer.

My digging brought a bit more information from some well-known sources, such as government sites, universities, CDC, videos, et al. The majority warn of the blacklegged tick, known as a deer tick, which is notorious for transmitting

 Lyme disease, Powassan virus and other infectious diseases.

•  Canada – Official government site: offers an in-depth explanation of what symptoms, treatment, and links for the 10 provinces and 3 territories

• Ontario – Official government site: Separate link for Canada Health Services

• United States – Official: CDC [Center for Disease Control and Prevention]

• United Kingdom – Official UK site: for ticks and disease, mgmt. and prevention

• South Korea – Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency

• Southeast Asia, Singapore – Ministry of Health Government site

• European – Official agency of the European Union

 

Hopefully, this helps inform others with information about bites of ticks, diseases, prevention and protective measures. It is a global problem.

In the previous article, I had mentioned two countries that used ticks as a biological weapon: Japan and the United States. There are no official documents, declassified or otherwise, that prove a CIA “black ops” unequivocally that ticks were covertly dropped on the population in Cuba.

Operation Mongoose was a secret code name for a project in January 1962. It had to do with the release of ticks, used as a bioweapon by the US military against Cuba and Fidel Castro. It was around the same time as the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion.

This was one of several conspiracy items I stumbled across in my research about ticks. It is not the heart or core of this particle, but if you are interested, it can be read about here.

 

I first heard it mentioned on the ‘Redacted’ YouTube channel, with Clayton Morris and his wife, Natalie. Going to @28:45 on the video at the above link, the couple share a page from an article written by John Brhel, Binghamton University, posted Jan 6, 2026, that farmers have reported an increase in tick encounters (70 tick encounters over a period of six months) on their farms. [screenshot is from their video]

Then, the Lone Star tick is brought up @28.50. They report that this tick can lower your tolerance for eating red meat if you are bitten by one. Morris complains about how crazy it sounds that if one of the Lone Star ticks bite you, you develop a red meat allergy.

It is @29:20 where Clayton mentions that the US government, in declassified CIA documents, used ticks as a bioweapon to drop on Cuba [in 2016] and other places to spread Lyme disease.

He follows up the statement by asking if an investigation will ever be done to look into it. He states that members of Congress have tried, but it has been stonewalled.

However, according to the Spectator (an online news magazine), Donald Trump has signed an order into law to: “review and report on biological weapon(s) experiments on an in relation to ticks [and] tick-borne diseases.”

The Spectator writes: A growing body of evidence shows that during the Cold War, ticks were tinkered with and used as delivery mechanisms for biological warfare agents. And these weaponized ticks may have been released both intentionally and unintentionally on an unsuspecting public by the US military.

The article goes on to mention record numbers of tick bites have been reported in New York (in 2024), Maine (in 2024), and Wisconsin (in 2023). The full article is not available for public viewing unless you pay to join them. There is a paywall. I provide a link so you can see that what I have posted is indeed what was reported, but a heads up about the Paywall. All kinds of websites are forcing people to become members (including the Spectator, where this article originates) to finish reading it.

Redacted points to a bioethicist named Matthew Liao, who is a professor in the Dept. of Philosophy and the director of NYU’s Center for Bioethics. Back in 2014, Liao stated that we could solve climate change by shrinking people down and making them averse to eating meat. He says, “People eat too much meat.”

 

Excerpt:

Once he has shrunken us, Dr. Liao suggests: "...giving the tiny people medications to  make averse [sic] to eating meat. ”We can artificially induce intolerance to red meat by stimulating the immune system against common bovine proteins,” he told the BBC.

SOURCE: Grist

In 2016, at the World Economic Forum, Matthew Liao says that:

 “Possibly, we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to certain kinds of meat, to certain kinds of bovine – bovine proteins. And there are actually analogs of this in life.

There’s this thing called the Lone Star tick, where if it bites you, you’ll become allergic to meat. I can sort of describe the mechanism. So that’s something that we can do through human engineering. We can possibly address really big world problems through human engineering.” – Matthew Liao

Bill Gates is involved with his fake meat. @31:00 Dr. Robert Malone: Declassified Documents Link U.S. Bioweapons Program to Lyme Disease Outbreak – Exclusive: In March 4, 2026 posted that declassified documents link U.S. bioweapons program linked to radioactive ticks; information that has been suppressed for 40 years. 

@31:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmgAUdkY3yA  Redacted:

Then we have a tick that brings Lyme diThis tick is known to cause AGS, as verified by a publication in the ImmunoTargets and Therapy journal found in the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).sease, and now they are pushing a Lyme disease vaccine.

Conclusion

I have provided enough links and information for the reader to search out and draw their own conclusions. I am grateful to the Lord for making me aware of the tick situation, starting with the four found in our home, on the dog and a young child, three months ago.

Although I was aware of the need to be on guard against ticks, as well as the reality of Lyme disease, I was unaware of other diseases that can also be carried by a tick.

The reality of a meat allergy and the fact that people are working on human engineering, genetic engineering, tissue engineering, bioprocess design, cell culture media, and 3D cell culture platforms (the latter four used to create lab-grown meat) reveal that man is playing God, creating and manipulating that which is already created.

At the above link, the original article, which was posted July 28, 2023 (almost three years ago), reports that 450,000 Americans have ‘red meat allergies’ from Alpha-Gal Syndrome, caused by tick bites.

AGS (Alpha-Gal Syndrome), which is a tick-borne disease, was first reported back in 2008. A grant of $1,469,352 was awarded for research into the “Asian blue” tick. American Faith News: “ This tick is known to cause AGS, as verified by a publication in the ImmunoTargets and Therapy journal found in the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).”

 

Whether what I presented is connected or merely a series of parallel trends is for readers to examine for themselves. I am not suggesting that everyone mentioned is working jointly to achieve a shared goal. Rather, my heart desires to give you enough information for you to investigate (research) further, draw your own conclusions, and seek the Lord for discernment and wisdom.

 

Jesus said that things would be as never before and never shall be again, and this is not even the great tribulation yet. We are in the birth pangs; the whole earth is travailing. More can be read at: American Faith News

I hope I have provided evidence that ticks pose a real danger and that we need to be alert (aware), learn prevention, and discern as needed. This is where we must pray, and seek wisdom, and trust Yahweh’s guidance.

for His glory alone

He Went to the Cross for All

 

Whom Jesus sets free
is free indeed!

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve, [Is 14:3]

In the day when I cried You answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul. [Ps138:3]

Jeremiah was in a dark night of the soul, a very painful time mentally. He had even cursed the day of his birth, asking why could his mother not have been his grave (meaning, why could he not have been stillborn?) 

Instead, he came forth out of the womb, to labour and sorrow, and days that were consumed with shame. Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He grieved over sin, the condition of the people and the judgment of God those sins brought forth. The prophet was misunderstood, mistreated and very lonely.

 

But Adonai is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. 

Jeremiah - weeping prophet

But, O LORD of hosts, that tries the righteous, and sees the reins and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them: for to You alone have I opened my cause. 

Sing unto the LORD, praise the LORD: for He has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. [Jer 20:11-13]

Below I write from an old journal, putting here what I am led to put here. This is the last day of a seven-day fast. My heart has been to seek God, as He has patiently been asking all children of light to do (and any else who will listen), to keep in prayer and be obedient to His leading.

It has also been about surrender (wholly), keeping a repentant heart, allowing correction and any thing to be removed from me (whether thought, word or deed) that is not of Him.

For all of us, it remains a work until the day we leave this world, and this corrupted flesh. Yet meanwhile, the Lord began a work in all of us when we were born again, continuing it until the day we pass, or the day Christ returns, whichever comes first.

Jesus went to the cross
for you, for me - for ALL

Taken from one of my numerous journals. This one is older, but I noticed that throughout the years I would make notes or references I go through my books randomly, when and if led. Sometimes they sit for years. Below is from an old journal…

Nov. 7, 2012 – [Lord] >> “Now it begins…” Now – there is a great divide among the people, and anger and rebellion is stirred up as a troubled hornet’s nest.

The West shall be in great pain; they shall be greatly hurt. The backbone of America is broken; it is severely fractured. The days of great woes, great sorrows is coming, but also great blessings that many have waited for.

 

                                         [5 months later]

 

On April 9, 2013, the Lord said (He speak deep within my spirit person): “The strategies and tactics of those who follow Satan (Lucifer) have been employed a long time. The desire for a one-world government and ruler did not expire when the building of the Tower of Babel ended, or with the death of Nimrod.

 

The plans have been carried out covertly. The adversary is patient to a degree now that he knows his time is short. All has escalated. Although some things are happening covertly still, there is less concern about hiding things.

Satan (Lucifer) and demons are proud and have lifted themselves up brazenly. They have been called forth by evil people through rituals, ‘prayers’, and blood sacrifices.

This is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional structure that is being carried out by those on the dark side, both in the physical and in the spiritual realms.

 

[Note: I understood the Lord to mean “unholy” prayers (witches and those in the occult do call them prayers – Lucifer’s counterfeit). I understand multi-layered to mean from the average person to the oligarchs.

This  just added today for this post, April 6, 2026: >> “Oligarchs are extremely wealthy and powerful people who rule or heavily influence a government, typically in a small group known as an oligarchy.”

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy  BP]

 

There are evil entities in all physical levels: Media, arts and entertainment, judicial, social, business, educational, military, religion. I understand multi-dimensional to cover from physical (flesh and blood), to AI [artificial intelligence], 3-D prints, holograms, teleports, to spiritual realms (remote viewing, occult and demonic).

 

But born-again children of salt and light have Jesus/Y’shua.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [Jn 15:13]

The days are grossly dark and steadily growing darker. All My people see this who are abiding and cleaving to Me. [Note: This was written April 2013, nearly 9 years ago => Mar 5/22]

 

Do not walk in fear and unbelief. Walk by faith and not by sight. [2Cor 5:7] Remember I AM for you and not against.

Do not look around you in terror or dismay. I forewarn My people. I always have. As you abide in Me, I reveal that which is to come. Wait upon Me; trust My timing. Hold fast to your faith. Stay strong in Me [Yeshua/Jesus]

 

Remember your warfare is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. [Eph 6:12]

 

Therefore, I urge you to keep on the full armour that I provided, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [Eph6]

 

I lead one day at a time, one step at a time. My glory is about to fall upon the Body. (of Christ). What must be will be.

[End this  message]

I understood that Abba does not mean false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, or any [false ones] who hide behind the large shield of religion. But in God’s eyes, that shield does not cover them. They covet fame, [ill fame = notoriety], admiration, popularity, flattery, prosperity (wealth and riches).

They want the glory, but insist it is all for God, only He sees the heart. It does not matter how many “good deeds” (humanitarian) they do (whether that cause is for people, young to old, or for animals).

 

God alone sees the heart. Even when charming leaders say all the right words, say all the right scriptures, and do all the right things that impress the masses such as giving to worthy causes, if they are doing it for the wrong reasons, it does not impress God or bring Him glory (popularity, followers, possessions, or filthy lucre (though the majority deny having such desires or passions).

Most deny that what they doing any of the above – except Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Jesse Duplantis, Oprah Winfrey, TD Jakes, or some other wolf [wolverine]. They do not feel guilty taking money from the poor. They brag that their riches are due to “faith”, being righteous (God’s anointed) and their good works.

 

They may be deceived but not know it. Everyone has a chance to repent and turn from sin as long as they have breath in their mouths, and be forgiven no matter how much wrong they have done (except blasphemy of the precious and Holy Spirit). Yes, all can be forgiven if they repent and turn – but sadly, most of the wolves will not until it is too late.

 

If they seek truth, God will reveal it. It will hurt (coming out of deception – I know, I have been deceived before), but the precious Saviour will forgive the broken and contrite heart, filled with godly sorrow. Then healing and restoration will come, for the sinner’s sake, and for the glory of Almighty God.

 

The lake of fire is real. Let us not be proud, for all of us missed the mark; all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [Rom 3:23]

 

Healing and restoration are about to occur throughout the Body. Indeed, it has begun. Rebuke fear and unbelief. Fear not. Look up for your redemption draws near.

 

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God. 

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the LORD: for I AM with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. [Jer 42:6;11]

 

April 11, 2013

Walk humbly with your God. [Micah 6:8]

 

As F.B. Meyer [English Baptist clergyman (1947-1929) once wrote:

 

“Few have known more sublime truth than Balaam [Mic 6:5], but he loved the wages of unrighteousness, and this eclipsed the divine radiance that became overcast and finally overwhelmed.” (End quote-BP)

 

Also be assured that much of what is going on in the headlines is a distraction from what is going on behind closed doors and within secret meetings. Indeed, you must be aware of all that is going on in the world, within your own neighbourhoods, and within your own households. Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, for you are amongst wolves …in all the nations].

Now you shall speak forth prophetic messages purely, for there are no obscurities in your way. You came under strong delusion because you would not receive the truth, but rather (turned) chased after a lie (an idol).

 

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2Thes 2:12]

 

I have written about this before off and on throughout the past couple of decades, and repeat briefly here for one reason and one reason alone. We all can compromise, but we will surely face consequences. Especially if compromise morphs into disobedience, such as what happened to me.

 

Although unsaved, when the Lord came to me at a time I was beaten physically beyond recognition, I made an unwise and costly choice. The Lord revealed to me that the man who beat me up (my boyfriend at the time, but who fled the province after beating me up so badly to avoid charges), was not to be my husband. The Lord was calling me, and what did I do?

 

I did not see it as disobedience or compromise, but it was that – and worse. Idolatry! I said, “O Lord, no!” (Like Paul on the road to Damascus, although unsaved, also recognized Jesus the LORD.)

 

Marriage happened four years after that day, with more breakups in-between and during the years, more abuse, and three beautiful children later. (The first child was born nine months after Jesus told me the woman beater was not to be my husband.) Two were born within the four years of marriage (with separations being nearly half of that 4 year commitment).

Idolatry – choosing a man over God (Jesus), which is worshipping the creation more than the Creator. Idolatry is anyone or anything that we honour and put before God Almighty.

Friend, if this is you, stop. The consequences can be horrific. The last time we separated was when I ended up in the hospital after a night of abuse. I was afraid to return home. He refused to turn the children over to my care (ages 1, 3, 7).

 

During those years, my husband divorced me for another woman. It took seven years in family court before the children were placed in my custody. Then we spent five years in criminal court for what he did to the children while in his care. He went to prison. That was 21 years ago. Consequences.

 

The Lord, in His mercy, did not allow me to be deceived anywhere else except in the area of ‘men’. Why? Because I chose a ‘man’ over him. Remember when Israel chose a ‘king’ over God? Idolatry – putting creation before the Creator. Same idea.

 

Over the course of decades, I tried to find a man who would love me, but it was not to be. Thirty-nine years; the day came when I finally came out of self-deception, the strong delusion the Lord allowed.

 

I had become a Christian after all that. The Lord had allowed me to wallow in waste, in the mire, the stench of sin was overwhelming. I cried out in brokenness and shame, seeing the foolish and wretched woman that I was.

Having been stubbornly blind to the truth, I ultimately repented with understanding godly sorrow and understanding. He forgave me. Jesus is good; His mercy endures forever.

You do not have thirty-nine years. All hell has broken out globally. Look at scripture and align the Word with today’s events. God’s Word is true. Do not allow anyone (saved or unsaved), or anything come before God. There are always consequences, and they are never good. 

December 15, 2018

When the mother of Zebedee’s children asked Jesus (Yeshua) to grant that her two sons could sit one on his right hand, and the other on his left when Jesus came into his kingdom, Yeshua answered:

 You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? (And they said to him, We are able.) [Mat 20:21-22]

Then I heard the Holy Spirit whisper deep within me, “Do you remember how you pondered those words, and then slowly, yet naively, you said, “Me too, Lord. I am willing to drink of the same cup of suffering…?”

But just as those men did not know, you too had no idea…no idea what you were saying. In this hour of your suffering, My child, I say to you, Do not grieve over those who gloat victoriously and secretly laugh at you in this dark hour. For what has been done in darkness shall be brought into the light. Remember, how My accusers prided themselves of righteous indignation and laughed at My defeat?

But for the hardness of their hearts, I did not seek revenge. Instead, I looked up to the heavens and with the little strength I had left, cried out: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do…

As my blood poured out upon the hard ground, I gasped, “It is finished.” In utter brokenness and bearing the shame My accusers put upon Me, I breathed My last breath.

But the laughter ceased when on the third day, I rose up in victory. And now, My child, hear Me and believe this:

Though you are surrounded in complete darkness and those who hate you without just cause, secretly gloat at your defeat, I say to you, precious soul that your shame shall be no more. Even though you lie in utter brokenness now as one who is dead, hold fast to your faith, for the day approaches that you too shall rise up again in victory.

You have not allowed bitterness to take root in your heart, My child. You have not sought revenge. Instead, you sought forgiveness, for them – for yourself.

That is what the cross, the shedding of the blood, and My resurrection are all about.

He's alive! He's alive!
Yeshua/Jesus has risen.

What does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God. [Micah 6:8]

Which also said, You men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall come again in the same manner that you have seen Him go into heaven. [Acts 1:11]

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

 

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.  [Mat 24:30-31]

 

Folks, the signs are all around us…time is short. Keep a repentant heart; walk in love, but stand in and for truth. 

Saints, this world is not our home… Hallelujah - it is almost time!

For His glory alone
