War inAir-Witchcraft in Fog-Hindrances and Distractions

Trust Yahweh
Trust Jesus/Yeshua

[Updated more than I first intended, but that is a good thing. Additional info, commentary, and a few pictures- I wanted to get the post up, so not all the details I wanted to share were presented in the first post, but are now with update. The additions balance out several points. Monday, November 24, 2025--BP]

Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we will trust in the Lord our God. [Ps20:]   ESV

Hindrances and Distractions

For this cause, we would have come to you, even I Paul, again and again, but Satan hindered us [blocked the way]. [1Thess 2:18]

Constant bombardments have caused an inability to concentrate as hindrances, disruptions and distractions kept stealing my focus. Hindrances and distractions are definitely two weapons in Satan's arsenal, or tools in his burglary kit, whichever way you prefer to see it.

The thief comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly. [Jn 10:10]

Patience is a tough one to learn, or rather, to wait out...

It is like every test and challenge that has ever had to be endured along this faith walk, this incredible journey, have all gathered together and come back around for the granddaddy of all exams. Holy Spirit, please help us (all of God’s people) to endure to the end, in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ of Nazareth [precious Yeshua, our Jesus].

No matter how organized I have tried to be, how carefully I determined to take care of details, it is like a new curveball gets thrown in my direction, catching me off guard, demanding my attention.

Yeshua, my Jesus, must come first [truly needs to start my day] …I have learned that no day goes right if I leave thanksgiving, prayer and Bible reading to a later time (which, yes, despite my best efforts, sometimes gets pushed back to much later in the day, and rarely, but again, yes...occasionally even missed, due to happenstance).

And seriously, on those days when everything else is sadly given first place, or if time with the Lord is neglected altogether, the day ends up as an unproductive, disorderly day. Time flies by too fast with hardly anything accomplished that I wanted to get done.

Everything God does is done decently and in order, but the world, flesh, and life have a way of interrupting most times. Friends [beautiful souls that they are] are greeted, emails taken care of, business calls addressed, and anything else that I can think of as needing attention.

I will spare all the details, but suffice it to say these distractions, disruptions, and hindrances are serious enough to cause concern and attention, and mostly prayer! The enemy is on a rampage because indeed, he knows his time is short. We all sense the foreboding.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed [2Cor 4:8]

Tests of obedience, honesty, integrity, morals, patience, humility, you name it…testing one, two, three. God knows how we will manage when every possible evil begins to rear its ugly head amidst the chaos of deception, but do we know how we will manage?

watch out for those
low-riding curve balls

We might think we do, especially since our confidence rests in Christ Jesus. But how are we doing in the trials coming our way in these days now? I have good days and bad days; days of success…and days to repent. Growing pains, learning curves…is there an end, Lord?

We know the answer. “No end to troubles on this side of eternity”:  So, with our face set like flint [strong, unwavering, determined], we cling to Jesus like healthy grapes cling to a strong vine!” Christ does help us. 

When my faith is as a grain of mustard seed (and believe me, some days, a grain is all I can muster, but praise God, it's a grain!), that is all it takes Jesus said to move [spiritual] mountains! 

Mountains! How about that! That is grand! I know it sounds surreal, crazy even...but I can give a firsthand account that God's Word is true. It is putting that faith in action, and God supernaturally, invisibly (call it what you will), but He truly does get us through

 Just don't give in to the devil's lies. He will speak in the first person, but turn deaf ears. We are in a spiritual battle, but our Commander in chief is Jesus. He will get us through each zone.

It is in our weakness that we embrace the strength so readily available in and through Jesus (Yeshua). He warned us that in this world we will have tribulation, but to be of good cheer (brave up) because He has overcome the world. [Jn16:33]

It is not easy, and the good Lord knows it! Jesus did not say the above words glibly; there was nothing insincere or shallow about anything He said or did. He wanted us to clearly understand that the world is fallen, but also that He is an ever-present help in trouble. [Ps 46:1]

Yahweh sent Jesus, and when He completed His earthly mission as Saviour / Redeemer, He sent the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, strengthen and instruct us until His return. We are the last generation Christ Jesus spoke of. 


Many Hands Make Little Work - Piece by Piece It Comes Together

Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour, and my hope is in You all day long. [Ps 25:4-5]

The hindrances and distractions have been to keep all of us behind on things. Yet, for me, all this time, it is to keep me behind all else as the Lord unfolds things regarding Charlie and Erika Kirk.

But, here is the clincher! Believe it or not, all (this) and that too is strictly a distraction, albeit, a major distraction nonetheless. See what I mean now about weapons in Satan's arsenal?

Or should I say, handy (important) tools in the devil's toolbox? Have  you noticed how that expression is buzzing around since Canada's FREEDOM convoy back in 2022? 

Buzz words = tools, toolbox. Now we have a new distraction, err, I mean, a new 'freedom'...with Charlie Kirk.

 Moving forward...next!

Suddenly, the words "tools" and 'toolbox' were buzzing. They were being heard everywhere, even on major TV stations, social media platforms, and news sites. 

We mimic each other...they label it 'trending'...or call us 'sheeple'. No wonder plagiarists believe they can get away with stuff [whispers>>>and for the most part, they do] - 

... And even if, by some remote chance, they are caught, a shrug is given, and a 'who cares' is heard. Like when (no disrespect intended, Mrs. Melania Trump), but like when you plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech word for word. 

The people gasped, some covered their mouths, most shook their heads. Others chuckled, while still others clicked or clucked their tongues. And then:

... Everyone moved forward. Next!

We have a wise Creator. He does not give one person all of the answers. As any good Father [and He is Supreme, the best], He loves us too much to tell us everything. He is a Divine Protector. 

He also knows the carnal nature all too well, and how much it loves to be stroked, and how easily it becomes puffed up with pride. The living God would never set any one of His children up for a fall.

And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an
angel of light.
[2Cor11:14]

Nor would Yahweh lead any one of His people into destruction, but we have an adversary who would. If we follow the wrong voice, it will lead us down a broad path. He will give a false prophet very convincing information (likely appearing as an angel of light, or counterfeiting the voice of God). 

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. [Prov16:18]

When a prophecy fails, Satan (or a [python] spirit of divination) laughs as the false prophet "humbly" (said with tongue in cheek) offers an explanation. I have yet to hear a false prophet admit they were wrong, but that does not mean that none of them have never said it. 

I just personally have not heard it. However, in all fairness, it is a big web [internet] and I am not omnipresent (everywhere at once: Shocker, I know). One scripture several of the false prophets often mention is: "[...] we see through a glass darkly.[1Cor13:12]

They often throw in: "We see in part and prophesy in part", further admitting that only God knows all things. [vs 9] And just to make sure that we drop any stones that may happen to be in our hands (and to get them dropped quickly to the ground if there are any), they will say, "I'm not a prophet."

But they also repeat, "Don't take my word for it; take it to the LORD!" (that's very popular - they all say that.

These foxy foxes make me angry. They cover their tracks and much more. They may fool the people (some, not all), but they NEVER fool God. (More on this in upcoming article. It makes me furious, yes, angry, righteous anger.

Here's a clue:  Just like the rest of us, the false prophets and false teachers, etc. all read comments too. They begin to delete; they begin to scrub; they begin to file down the rough edges, and polish up their presentation.

They adjust accordingly. They  are people pleasers. They also have the advantage of something else which I intend to talk about very clearly, and in some depth in near-future articles, as Jesus leads. Time is running out.

I refuse to coddle false prophets! Jesus did not. Elijah did not! Moses did not! God definitely does not.

Take heed no man (person) deceive you. (Jesus' warning) [Mat 24:4]

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (further warning by Jesus about these very days we are in now) [Mat 24:24]

Four times - FOUR - times in that short speech, Yeshua (our Jesus) spoke of deception. As I always say, for a man who did NOT waste words, for the Lord to repeat Himself four times like that, we really DO need to pay attention; to TAKE HEED no man (person) deceive us. Thank You Lord Jesus for the serious heads up!

                                

False prophets twist scripture just as surely as Satan does (and as he did in Eden). When one of their prophecies fail, they say: "You who are without sin, cast the first stone."  Another thing I have very often heard false prophets say is that they are not perfect, and that 'we all miss it sometimes'

Sometimes? If  the Holy Spirit is speaking through you, or if God gave you a message to speak forth, He will make no mistakes. 

Please know that. You will have to own the mistake. i emphatically repeat, El Shaddai [God Almighty] makes no mistakes. Repent and ask God to shut the mouths of the LYING lion (Satan) who deceived you.

We have all been deceived at some point. No? Did you ever believe in Santa Claus, or the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny? Did you ever believe a lie someone that you loved told you, only to find out later that it was a lie?

Then you have been deceived. When you were a little child, did one of your parents tell you that chocolate milk comes from brown cows? Then, you have been deceived. 

Were you told that Adam and Eve ate an apple in the Garden? - that an apple was the "forbidden fruit"?

Then you have been deceived. It was probably Balaam's donkey or one of her distant cousins, a horse, that told you it was an apple. Then,  you have been deceived.

Nummy! Apples!

They wanted you to stop eating apples (IF, in fact, they are the forbidden fruit) because they love apples, and wanted them all to themselves.  Just saying...

By the by, a little trivia. 

Back to a more serious note, the Bible is silent about what kind of fruit the forbidden fruit was. However, a Jewish professor, Azzan Yadin-Israel, wrote a book called: Temptation Transformed (University of Chicago Press, 2022).

Azzan Yadin-Israel, professor
of Jewish Studies at
Ruegers University, New Brunswick, N.J.

He gave Andrea Alexander the answer from his studies that he wrote in his book. The information was given for a lecture that was held at Douglass Student Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in February 2023. She also submitted the information in an article that she wrote for Rutgers University.

It all started back when the Bible was translated into Latin. In that language, the word "malum" happens to be a homonym of the Latin word for both "evil or bad" and "apple". A homonym is when one word with the same spelling has two separate meanings. 

For example:

* lead -- "a metal", or to "guide someone"

One word, same spelling, two separate meanings. The pronunciation for both words is identical, and transliterated into English in the same way, creating what has been called a "well-known linguistic coincidence".

Azzan Yadin-Israel wrote: "Since, the argument goes, the forbidden fruit caused the fall of man and humanity's expulsion from paradise, it is certainly a terrible malum ("evil"). So what fruit is a more likely candidate than the malum, "apple". this view has become received wisdom and is found in scholarly works across fields and disciplines."

That is interesting, is it not? Even though it is proven that the misunderstanding is due to a language barrier, or where one word took on two separate meanings, it is still an accepted work amongst scholars.

That makes me shake my head. It is like opening one's arms to deception.

End of trivia.

Back to the false prophets...

Pride keeps some of the false prophets from mentioning Romans 3:23, where it is written that ALL have fallen short of His glory, not some, but all of us. A-L-L. --- ALL! 

Like Porky Pig always said: "That's all, folks!"

ALL
 have fallen short

God Does Not Reveal Everything to Any One Person

What a Creator we have! His eye for detail and beauty is unmatched! Why, oh my, just look at the false teachers and false prophets who strut around now like a beautiful peacock with its plumage in full colourful display.

What a marvellous Creator we have!

They would have us believe that God tells them everything. And no rudeness toward you intended, Mr. Troy Black, but you make it seem like El Shaddai gives you the goods on a great number of people. Firstly, God is NOT a gossip.

It seems God tells you more than He told His good friend, Abraham. Good gracious, He did not even tell His only begotten and much beloved Son everything [in whom He is well pleased -- [Mat 3:17] ... such as the day or the hour that Jesus would be returning. Well, maybe He has been waiting to tell you. 

My apologies, I am being facetious. But when you post these videos time and time again with the titles promoted by "seducing spirits" aka "clickbait", are you targeting the naive, or the prophet chasers, or silly women? (and the innocent, those searching for truth but are not yet saved)?

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various lusts [passions], always learning, and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. [2Tim 3:5-7]

The Great TPUSA Distraction

I added much more to this article than I had originally intended, but there were things I felt had to be said. May the Holy Spirit do what He does best, and lead people where they will best be fed spiritually, helping them to discern, and teaching them what to look for in order to discern properly.

And to all the false teachers that tell people, "Don't judge", you need to learn that discernment requires judgment. One has to 'judge' to discern 'good' from 'evil', 'right' from 'wrong', 'truth' from 'error'. 

When Jesus spoke about not judging, He meant that we can NOT judge whether a person will go to heaven or not because He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL (there's that word again), should come to repentance. 

However, will ALL come to repentance? Sadly, no. We know that not all will because it is written that there will be a falling away in the end times. That means walking away from the faith, not embracing it. 

We need to be able to discern (judge) the wolves in sheep's clothing, the goats, the hirelings, the charlatans, etc. We need to be able to judge, to discern, the familiar spirits, the seducing spirits, etc. It is Satan that does not want us to judge. We are to judge righteous judgment.

And when He comes, He will convince 
the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment
[Jn 16:8]

The first place we begin is with humility, and humbly praying for the help, wisdom, and guidance of the Holy Spirit, giving thanks to our King and Lord for teaching us; thanking Him for His Word. That is the next place where we go to learn about righteous judgment. 

We need to feed our spiritual man with the Bread of Life, and to nourish ourselves with living Water. Jesus is those things, and He is written about throughout the entire Bible, from the Old and New Testament alike. 

We need the Lord and we need to involve Jesus/Yeshua wholly in our surrendered life. You will not regret it. He will be our strength, our wisdom, our everything if we let Him.

Yes, I know, even the false prophets are saying that now. They have the advantage of AI (Did you wonder how we would do "greater works than Jesus"? We will never out-do the Lord...but AI, and other incredible technologies will surely be advantageous to this last generation.

Who is Charlie Kirk?

At first, when I stumbled across the news of Charlie Kirk's assassination, I was working on my War and Witchcraft series. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before or a magazine called Jezebel.

However, I happened upon a news article that had been written and put in Jezebel, an extreme feminist magazine. According to Newsweek, the magazine wrote an article statingEsty witches paid to curse Charlie Kirk

That was the beginning of the piecing together of this more recent and one of the last big distractions that I have been mentioning. What I have come up with comes from the leading and direction of the Lord.

However, it has come over time (Kirk was assassinated on July 20, 2025) with the leading of the Lord, much researching, much prayer and many tears, and the help of many hands belonging to people I most likely will never meet on this side of heaven. Some of those hands are simply dirty, and we do not want to touch them.

The piecing together of the Charlie Kirk story all began with a verse on conspiracy.

For the Lord spoke to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, A conspiracy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear their fear, nor be afraid.

Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let HIM be  your fear, and let HIM be your dread. [Is 8:11-13]

At first I was almost convinced that the Lord was instructing me not to join people in their conspiratorial thoughts regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, or the bizarre grieving of his wife, Erika. 

In fact, I confided that exact understanding to a close friend (who, unbeknownst to me, had already heard of the shooting of Kirk - but then again, she is American).But that was not what He was saying. Remember, Satan uses scripture too.

I returned to pray about it and felt the nudging in my spirit to go back to Isaiah 8 and read what the chapter was about, and glean any message the good Lord may be speaking to me through His Word.


Fear God
Wait for the Lord

When I returned to the book of Isaiah, chapter eight, my attention was immediately drawn to a subtitle that was posted directly above  verse 11, which was the scripture I was moved to begin with and write down.

It said: Fear God, Wait for the Lord, and near it was written: Fear God's power, not man's. That truly spoke to me because I was searching the Word, during prayer time with the Lord, regarding this man Kirk and his assassination.

A man certainly feels powerful when he has a weapon in his hand, but no matter what, God's power is greater. In re-reading the verses that I had read before, the words that seemed highlighted were in verse 12 which mentions a conspiracy, with the instructions: "neither fear their fear nor be afraid".

He speaks to us through His Word, and yes (though some disagree) in our hearts. His faithfulness of Adonai is immeasurable. In the upcoming articles, I will break down more the way the Lord reveals and is leading me.

Team work, not a competition against each other
Let us love one another - I love you...
We need to be working as one body,
with Christ Jesus as the Head.
Without the head, the body dies.
Selah...

And I love how He speaks through others, too. It is NOT a competition. We are to work as a team. Jesus meant for us to be one body working together, with Him as the HEAD. Without the head, the body dies. We need Jesus, admit it or not.

Israel was mentioned in scripture in Isaiah eight, and I sensed an alert in my spirit. It is the first mention, but more were to come (and all this is STILL a work in progress).

So much is happening in the world, is it not? Yet, we can and must rest and trust in Him. Be anxious for nothing, take all to Him in prayer, with thanksgiving. [Phil 4:6] Jesus comforts us.

Over the course of the next few weeks, step by step, He has led, is leading, and will lead. The Lord is not in a hurry, but He does have appointed times and things planned. He is the Providential God, Sovereign, majestic.

We are His children, His people, and we are at His command. Is it not glorious? What an honour, what a joy to be His...Thank You for all You did, are doing, and will do for us, Jesus. 

Next came the scriptures in Matthew 24, take heed no man deceive you – Jesus/Yeshua warning about being deceived, to guard against it four times in that chapter.  I am mentioning scriptures, words, verses, etc, but not in the order given or led. Then Egypt was highlighted, but so was the word “idolatry”, and Israel, and judgment. David, Bathsheba, Delilah, Jezebel, Solomon. 

If you try and guess, you likely will guess wrong. There is much to sort through, but I am cherry-picking from memory, and it is not in the order that I was led. It is not going to all be written here, not now. I am getting tired.

How I love Israel, but not as much as our Creator does. But if we are ungrateful children; if we become rebellious and disobedient, we will earn His wrath, His anger. Throughout history, God's people would go through stages, obey and worship, rebel and commit idolatry.

Look at the nations today. Are any a fine example of grateful, loving children? Whatever we want to do, we do it. Are we at the place yet where it is written that everyone does what is right in their own eyes?  Yet, He was pointing to Israel, time and again…and judgment. Why, Lord, I asked. At the beginning, I fasted and prayed. Hindrances, distractions…it was getting frustrating.

I do not believe in replacement theology, nor am I against Israel. But throughout its history, Israel, like the rest of us, kept getting into hot water and disobeying God. What are you showing  me, Lord?

Behind the Beautiful Mask

Erika Kirk, how I prayed…how badly I felt for being suspicious of her. She was part of the reason for the fast. How could I be so cold-hearted, suspecting; it would not shake free.

red warning flag waving

Deception, deception – red flags were waving.  The Lord reminded me of when He moved on me to write about the season of Judas’ (plural) back in June 2025.

He brought up Jezebel, a word I am slow to use, always have been because too many in the church seem to call everyone they do not like or they disagree with a “Jezebel”. It was after the word was highlighted in the Bible (I had hung onto it for awhile), that I stumbled across the story of Charlie Kirk. The Jezebel magazine had published a story.

There is much more I have been working on, but the distractions, the hindrances…have been unavoidable, and so frustrating. right now, our beautiful just turned two-year-old Bluetick hound dog mix is very sick. We are not sure what is wrong...pray the Lord keeps His hand upon Him and heal him, or at least, hold him steady until my pension comes in or we get resources, hopefully in a couple of days.

I might have chewed this branch too much

this will bring it back to life

It didn't grow back when
it was watered. How come?
Now what to do...thinking, thinking...

Noble is a big dog, but he just turned two a couple of weeks ago. It is my son's dog. He is a mutt lol - His parents were Bluetick Coonhound dog and Boxer, so those are the most dominant features. 

However, he is also Bulldog and Golden Retriever. Huh? Yeah, I know, I know - quite the combo.

For the longest time I kept calling him a Bluetooth Coonhound dog. Talk about "programmed", lol... 

I could not quite get used to Bluetick  (I think it is because I do not like ticks. Haha). I have it under control now - Bluetick coonhound dog.

We are not quite sure what is wrong. He limps he barely gets up. He finally ate today, but he will not drink water. He will eat ice cubes though. Praise God. He has an ear infection, and possibly stomach problems. Please pray if you are so led...until we can get him to a vet. 

His name is Noble because we wanted him to somehow honour the Creator - who gave him life, and gave him to us. People are frightened because of his deep, loud bark, and his size. But he is very gentle, not aggressive; does not go up to people and bark. They soon get over their initial fear when they see his demeanour is gentle and calm. Bless the Lord

Now, his getting sick is a major hindrance...a major distraction. He whimpers and cries out a lot, and needs much love and attention right now. It hurts to see him suffer;  one fights tears, but we serve an awesome God, and today there was a slight improvement, meaning - he ate, and took several ice cubes.

We will wait upon the Lord. Noble is such a good boy. God loves him even more than we do. I have peace in my heart. It is always good to get ourselves to the place of rest in Jesus. Amen


Wrapping It Up for Now

I will stop here for now just to post this much. I am so far behind…I have many file folders filled with topics, complete with links for work done by others. People put time and effort into their work. It is only proper to give credit where credit is due, and acknowledge the name of the contributor. 

The Lord is faithful. This so-called “revival” was/is not of God. Many believe it is, but no…not this one. Those of us who are the  more mature Christians long for the youth who are lost, or who are the prodigals, to come into the kingdom. 

With each generation, the middle-aged and elderly state that the youth are "the future", which is true. The cycle of life continues, from birth to the grave. Hope is always in the 'new', the 'youth'.

The elderly are supposed to possess patience and compassion, which come from long lessons of "learning to wait" teaches. With the ancient is wisdom, and with length of days comes understanding. [Job 12:12]

Those in the middle can glean from the youth because it was not so long ago for them, and they remember. Together, they can rejoice in their walk. They to find truth amidst all this deception, to find hope, understanding, encouragement, but mostly, loving acceptance . 

For the Lord to strengthen them, and ground them in truth.

And it is sad about this so-called revival, but God is not done. Satan is not the victor. Jesus  is…always! Emotionalism hit the globe - majorly. Let us continue to pray. There will be a  great falling away. Already we are witnessing it with the scandals that have been revealed in the past few years.

 I am believing the Lord to touch the hearts of those rejected, abused, misunderstood, abandoned, taken advantage of, given false hope, the prodigals, the searching...Your will be done, Father. Be glorified.

Familiar Spirits

Satan is a liar, a counterfeiter, a deceiver. He came to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Prayer is going up. The Lord may call for a fast. This is a heads up. I cannot say for sure, but it is a possible. 

He deals with us individually and corporately. Whether He leads me to fast and pray, and likely others (privately). He deals with us in wisdom, knowing the circumstances and individual situations. All is in His competent hands.

We are all going through a lot these days. It is a busy, chaotic time. We can wholly trust in Jesus, undoubtedly.

Delilah and Jezebel...these were two women who were likely very attractive seducing spirits. They were manipulative, and the men seemed to be quite smitten with them. 

Delilah betrayed Samson. He did not trust her at first, but she sweet-talked him into trusting her and for the love of money, she handed him over to his enemy...

Samson had wisdom, and was not easily manipulated. Yet, he loved her. It took Delilah several attempts before she successfully discovered his secrets. [Judges 16:18]

What is the Lord telling us by turning the spotlight on Delilah and Samson? Was it that Samson revealed his "secrets" [his "strong" points [strength]) to her? 

David and Bathsheba

King David and beautiful Bathsheba

David and Bathsheba, these are souls and their stories that were brought to my attention. King David was taken in by her beauty...he was a man in a position of leadership. 

Bathsheba's husband was taken out of the way. She was pregnant. It is a sad story...betrayal, deception, lust. So what is the Lord revealing?

I will likely have to fast further to find out why the Lord put this couple upon my heart. It is most troubling.

What is Israel doing that we may not know about, but God does? Why is the word judgment coming before my eyes with different scriptures. More on this in another article, but I am searching. I love Israel; it is because of their rebellion that I, as a Gentile, was able to come to Jesus.

Like I said, I have always stood by Israel because we are the wild branch grafted, but we cannot be caught up in the sins of Israel if they are once more rebelling or into idolatry.

We know that for the most part, they have not understood that Yeshua (our Jesus) is their Messiah. There are certainly Messianic Jews in Israel, but the majority of the nation has not accepted Jesus.

Also, and it grieves me to say this, but Israel has the largest PRIDE (gay parade) in the middle EAST, in Tel Aviv. 2024 was different, in that they had no parades due to the hostages still held by Hamas. June is Pride Month – Tel Aviv

What connection does Israel have with TPUSA because it was another reason that I did a seven-day fast - to pray. (I was very upset with myself for having doubts and suspicions regarding Erika. It still has not settled. I am learning more...

I posted it as hints a few weeks ago. It was well over a month ago that the Lord highlighted David and Bathsheba, and I broke down crying, not knowing why. Hindrances - distractions. Seducing spirits...warning, warnings!

Yahweh has raised His providential hand...be encouraged. Be strengthened.

Jesus/Yeshua has been training us, answering our prayers for increased discernment, for strengthening, for increased wisdom, and healing. We look eagerly for direction. Our arms open to welcome more into the kingdom of God. Think about it. All the angels rejoice over one soul, ONE soul who repents. Can you imagine what a party is going with many? 

Growing pains are never enjoyable, but the benefits are worth it. Critical thinking is something that needs to be combined with the Word of God and prayer. Let us keep trusting God.

Jesus never fails.

for His glory

PS This has been so frustrating. Constantly today my daughter wants to talk to me (she's 41), and every time I am doing stuff she comes in. I love my daughter, absolutely, but I feel today the interruptions have been so many, I think there has been some help on the spiritual side to 'hinder' me. I am so tired, I will have to check for editing tomorrow 25 or 26th- BP

Waiting for Interruptions and Hindrances to Stop

 

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. [Ps 27:14]

So much happening...so hard to keep up. My life will not cease having interruptions. Text messages, phone calls, suddenly family wants to talk, or knocks on the door, City Council reps and telemarketing.

Then, for two days, oddly...the 29th I had a nasty tickle in my throat, only it did not tickle. By morning, I gargled with salt water. Then promptly, not even five minutes later, I was sick to my stomach with dry heaves.  There was a short rest before it continued...the knot in my stomach was undeniable.  

As I sat there throwing up into a small bedroom garbage can (sorry for graphics), it came to me about the time of year it was...and how often witches come against Christians.

The scripture that came to me was [Isaiah 54:17] (no weapon formed against you shall prosper...etc.) I did say the entire thing... twice. The third mention of it was simply to thank God for His Word.

"Rest" is the word that was strongly impressed upon my heart. 

After a couple of hours sleep, I felt better, but I was not 100%. My voice sounded gravelly, but I was much better. It was just an improvement from there on up. 

A couple of days later, a friend wrote to tell me she had been unwell. It was the same day, and ironically, the same scripture had been put upon her heart as well. That was confirmation from the Holy Spirit to me. How I thank God for His faithfulness, and how splendidly He looks after each one of us.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world, you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. [Jn 16:33]

I keep wondering if I am to stop writing, to stop all of it, but even after fasting and prayer, there has been no instruction to quit. In fact, starting a YouTube channel is upon my heart. It would save much time, but there has to be a stop to the delays, whether sickness, visitors, business, or whatever else stops me.

God...and timing.

Those are the two things I wait for...in that order. I have much written, as events unfold, but they are on several different papers, as separate events. Organization is needed, and now so much time has again elapsed. That is why people are doing podcasts, I reckon. things are moving too quickly to sit and write at length...far too quickly.

Hopefully, tomorrow night I can have something. 

for His glory alone

Quick Heads Up or Hair Up

 

Telling my age now, but does
anyone remember the gong show?

ATTENTION: (Note*: I got distracted when I was arranging this for posting yesterday and I messed up. I put a camel herd instead of a sheep herd, I left out about three pictures, and some text needed a fix. 

When it rains, it pours lol. A good laugh and a hearty smile were surely needed by me, and I am convinced that others could use the same, given all the seriousness around these days.

Okay, even if your laugh is more of a slight chuckle and accompanied by a shaking of the head and a lopsided smile. Now readers know why I am not a standup comic…perhaps not a sit-down one either. Lol

I’ve also added a brief addendum. BP-Oct 25, 2024)

Bad hair day? Yeah...and from
fighting with the enemy.

Me too...what a battle! 

Me three. And not only that, but
my herd had a secret meeting...

"Zero tolerance for bad hair days
was the vote. They don't believe
in Satan.

But that devil loves to mess with families - well,
ANY relationship really. That thief!

Seriously - your hair?? That's just rude!

CAMEL (left): Me, four. Ousted for being the black 
camel of the family.
SHEEP (right): Sigh... I totally get that!

That's just nuts.

I heard that those who accept you at 
your worst, love you at your best.

And you fell for that? Ahahaha

I'm glad that I don't have
bad hair days.

Dude, you think you got it bad?
I'm a tree squirrel, and they chopped
the one where I had
my nest. Now I'm homeless...

You talk about a bad hair day?

Oh, that's baaa-d... lol



It's okay to find a reason to smile
when things are hard to handle.

Well, that was fun. It's okay, brethren. I may be crazy, but not dangerous. At least, not yet lol 

ADDENDUM: The original post was yesterday, but when I went to add a couple of pictures, change one that I put up by mistake (camel herd), and edit, the site misaligned all the photos and text. I had to redo the entire thing. 

Now I am shaking my head just at the craziness of it all. Truly this cannot be made up. Well, I suppose it could, but why would one want to, especially knowing that our Lord sees and hears all we do.? A book will be opened when we stand before our Holy and precious King and Lord, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah (Christ).

This was going to be a simple heads-up to let readers know that once again things have slowed my writing (hindered/interfered). Prayer does go up because, to me, these setbacks are frustrating, but more than that. 

I need to know that I am in God's will and not striving to continue writing as I have for decades if the Lord is shutting me down. There are so many intelligent, truthful, beautiful vessels that the Lord has created who are more than capable.

Many are still young. The community of faithful believers, the true members of the Body of Christ are of all ages. It is refreshing to witness those who earnestly seek to speak the truth, the true gospel which is the good news of Jesus Christ. 

But the wolves are multiplying, and the apostasy is happening, just as Jesus foretold. It is not just the time of year that brings conflict and spiritual battles - this being almost Halloween (Samhain festival), celebrated by pagans, Satanists (the ones who believe in him), witches, and even by some who call themselves Christian.

It is the time we read about in scripture, the time Jesus and the ancient prophets and apostles forewarned about. Some today are trying to push things into place behind the scenes, but instead, God has been revealing much to the world.

In 2012, right after Obama was elected to his second term, the Lord said, "Now it begins..." It meant things were going to pick up momentum as we head toward the days of the great tribulation. It will continue escalating and accelerating. More on that in the next upcoming post.

Back in 2008, when I understood that things (Biblical prophecies) were set up like dominoes that once the first one is pushed, things will continue with one event occurring right after another. Slowly at first, but as it progresses, the push will gain momentum until nothing but God Himself can stop it.

The piece called We Overcome was reposted on May 1, 2015. Unfortunately, the original was posted here in 2008 February.

For now, He who "restrains" keeps the first domino held back. Is it soon to be released as the 'restrainer' moves out of the way? A year or so after Obama began his second term, the "time of revealing" was placed heavily upon my heart. 

The Lord was going to expose that which had been hidden. The radio program I had for about one year was named "Time of Revealing". The longer title was "Warriors of Endurance in the Time of Revealing".

We must endure, dear saints. Friends, let us encourage ourselves with each other, and when no one else is available, or we feel that no one can understand our situation, let us do as King David, Joshua, and Moses did, which is to encourage ourselves in the Lord.

Even more unnerving is the global elite (I heard that they like that title) who have an evil agenda and who serve the 'god of this world' [2Cor 4:4] not believing that the end-time victory will be (and is) in Christ Jesus alone.

They have been deceived by the master deceiver, Satan, or Lucifer - whichever title they give the original evil rebel, the devil - the dragon. It is only fitting that Satan's title of "devil" fully embraces "[d]evil.

Let us who trust Jesus not stray from the Word of God. Read a whole chapter, even two. Whatever it takes to keep things in context. I will get more into the wolves and false "promoters" (false teachers/preachers) in upcoming articles, Lord willing that the time is allotted that I can write. 

As far as Halloween goes, I wonder how any Christian could celebrate a night dedicated to great and horrific evil, death, witches, ghoulish characters, and every imaginable [and unimaginable] form of corruption - anything and everything devoted to evil. (NOTE*: This sentence was slightly edited to say what I had intended, but overlooked it in my notes. Also below, it simply says [edited] -BP Oct.26, 2024)

Some churches celebrate but only allow costumes representing good characters and only playing wholesome games. Is it still not celebrating that which is pagan, that which the witches and Satanists consider a time to celebrate the dark side of the supernatural realm (even if they 'think' it is good), and to celebrate the dead?

It is written that Christians are to abhor evil and cleave to that which is good. [Rom 12:9] It just seems like a compromise to me. 

Sometimes we do not even know we are in a battle [again] until it goes well beyond the norm of a 'bad day', and is intense, confusing, and exhausting. (How often we need to cry out to the Lord due to Satan's savagery?) [edited-BP] But then again, things have been beyond the norm since 2020, and they are never going back.

For a few years now, I have been moved by the Spirit of God to remind Christians, as well as to alert the undiscerning to be on guard at this time of year. Looking back in the archives reveals the faithfulness of the Holy Spirit, who always warns His people of things well in advance.

Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come. [Jn 16:13] KJV

Scripture reveals that these warnings can be years in advance, or sounded for something almost immediate. The enemy does not play fair or by any rules. He has not stopped rebelling [original rebel] against God; however, he cannot overrule the Lord, or take the Creator by surprise. God is Sovereign. That will never change. Hallelujah!

Halloween is considered one of the four [4] 'greater' sabbats by witches, Wiccans, Druids, and neo-pagans, but the Wheel of the Year cycle consists of eight [8] festivals that are celebrated; four being solar and four being seasonal. I have written about these over the past few years.

Each year as evil escalates, the global darkness becomes more foreboding, and the Holy Spirit gently guided me to post the warnings earlier. 

The reason for this is evident to Christians who are led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that the Spirit would guide God's people into all truth. The reason is that prophecies continue to unfold, and end-time events are aligning before the eyes of the world.

This means the soon-return of Jesus Christ, but be aware, it also means that the Antichrist of all antichrists, the one dubbed the "lawless one", amongst other titles, is ready to make his appearance. He who restrains holds him back.

Paul was warning the people:

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work: only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. [2Thess 2:6-7] NKJV [emphasis mine]

El Shaddai [Almighty God] is merciful and so faithful, truly an ever-present help in trouble. [Ps 46:1] So, for now I will sign off and get the next post up (Lord willing) as soon as possible.
