POLITICIZING of prayer

 1 Corinthians 14:34-36

King James Version

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: 

for it is not permitted unto them to speak; 

but they are commanded to be under obedience 

as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, 

let them ask their husbands at home: 

for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

36 What? 

came the word of God out from you? 

or came it unto you only?


Newly-sworn-in president, Donald J. Trump, had to sit, and bear it.

So with vice-president JD Vance, and a host others..

What was supposed to be a "traditional" national prayer service, became Satan's stage for "ambush".

As the woman bishop attacked him, and his policies.

It was a shock to me, and greatly angering the president.

As well as an affront on those who have attended, for a blessing.

The church MUST NOT be "politicized".


But no, Satan had found an "opening".

That's why Trump reacted this way.

Here are the video's "notes":

----------------------

'President Donald Trump and Vice President Vance looked visibly annoyed as a bishop delivered a liberal leaning political sermon during the prayer service at the National Cathedral.

Trump, Vance, and their families attended a service at the church on Tuesday as part of a long-held tradition for newly sworn in leaders. However, during the service, one bishop's sermon took a political turn. 

"There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families. Some fear for their lives," the bishop claimed, before talking about immigration.

"And the people who pick our crops, clean our office buildings, labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat at restaurants and work the night shifts at hospitals, they may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she said.'

----------------------

To my born again mind, there was only one thing this politicizing bishop mentioned that was true, even as it was for her left, and woke, benefit

"outrage industrial complex"


I am outraged.

The new administration is outraged.

We are outraged at Satan having infiltrated the church.

We are outraged at the enemy's lies.

President Trump was voted by a lot of minorities.

He, alone, listened to their plight.

An area where Biden, and Kamala, had failed miserably.

All they did was push their DEI, left, and woke policies.

Leaving America in shambles.


And now, this female bishop continues their ideology.

President Trump, and his group, have a right to be outraged.

They expected GOD's blessing.

They received Satan's rebuke.

I, too, cannot let this pass.

NOT on MY watch!


Apostle Paul was precise:

1 Timothy 3:2

King James Version

2 A bishop then must be blameless, 

the husband of one wife, 

vigilant, 

sober, 

of good behaviour, 

given to hospitality, 

apt to teach;


Notice anything?

He did not say a bishop must be the "wife of one husband".

He said, a bishop must be the "husband of one wife".

That means, a bishop is "MALE".

Right there, this church had failed the president, and America.

Right there, Trump was in the WRONG church.

Right there, Satan found a "platform".


A female bishop presided over that particular sermon.

Everything that was wrong, is everything she was.

Mockery of GOD's laws never end.

Further:

1 Timothy 2:11-14

King James Version

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, 

nor to usurp authority over the man, 

but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, 

but the woman being deceived 

was in the transgression.


Satan wanted the last word.

Well the LORD JESUS is the WORD.

And His WORD is ALL that will REMAIN.

As JESUS rebuked:

Mark 7:7-9

King James Version

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, 

teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, 

ye hold the tradition of men, 

as the washing of pots and cups: and many other 

such like things ye do.

9 And he said unto them, 

Full well ye reject the commandment of God, 

that ye may keep your own tradition.


TIME to change tradition.

TIME to change church.

TIME to be born again.

TIME to find such a church.

This must be part of Trump, and America's reform.

If they are to serve GOD well.

If they want their plans to prosper.

REFORM the CHURCH first.

Or find a church that adheres to GOD's law.


Satan had lost, the day GOD appointed Trump to be president.

He was not about to go out with a whimper.

CHRIST's enemy could never accept defeat.

Satan is only a created being.

JESUS is the SON of GOD.

He had already won.

Remember the cross?

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


There will be ambushes, for sure.

Expect that EVERY TIME.

How to win this warfare?

BECOME born again.

BELIEVE in the LORD JESUS.

BE GUIDED by the HOLY SPIRIT.

PUT ON the FULL ARMOR of GOD.

LOVE GOD above all.


There are THREE main states who challenge Trump.

They remain rebellious.

As many individuals will.

But GOD's will be done!

JESUS is KING!

It was FORTHCOMING

THE LORD JESUS warned

Matthew 10:33

King James Version

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, 

him will I also deny before my Father 

which is in heaven.


Some days I just know.

Wherein I witness people hating GOD, and others.

And then something happens.

A few days ago, I saw this short clip.

I was shocked to the core of my being.

This was a TOTAL affront on GOD, His SON, and Scripture.

I KNEW GOD was NOT about to let that go.

I was certain of it.

And I was right.


I'll present to you some cases:

When I hear a woke politician turn away JESUS, I know "something" was going to happen.

When I hear "captain america" call Christians, "idiots", I know there's a price to pay.

When I hear proud celebrities blaspheming JESUS, I know GOD will not let that go.

When I hear an elite governor act belligerent towards Trump, I know something's bound to happen.


Kamala turned away JESUS at a rally.

Consequently, she lost to Trump.

Her career is in shambles.


Both "captain america" and the blaspheming actress, proud of her trophy -- "no thanks to JESUS" -- are a product of Hollywood.

Well, California's burnin', not dreamin'.

It's reached Hollywood Hills, too.

GOD's judgment is upon the woke, left, and heathen.

Including upon industries, and institutions, that spawn them.


Governor Newsom couldn't stand Trump.

Newsom was young, proud, woke, and a Democrat.

He didn't follow the then-president's water recommendations.

He, and the demonic Democrats, wanted to "Trump-proof" CA.

Yeah, right.

And then the fire happened.


Many actors lost their homes.

The elite did, too.

Many smaller homes suffered from the embers.

Some perished; others were injured.

Thousands of homes were burnt to cinders.

Thousands of people evacuated their homes.

Rich Palisades looked like a war zone.


But GOD did better.

And it will be to the suffering residents', and citizens', benefit.

As well as vindication, and validation, for Trump.

GOD exposed CA officials' neglect, 

ineptness, and disregard.

Now, they have much

to answer for.


Governor Newsom, and mayor Bass, are now in boiling water.

I can almost hear Trump say, "I told you so."

The residents are crying for justice.

GOD will take care of everything.

As He sees fit.


Even the recent thing, wherein Paris Hilton did a strange video, spoofing little Barron Trump held weight.

I thought to myself, the boy, who has grown into a fine, young man now, will be greatly embarrassed.

He might shun that part of his childhood.

And then Hilton's house got burned, too.

Wow, that was just a day after I viewed her clip.


And today, something significant happened again.

SPIRIT led me to the Trump sentencing in New York.

The court and NY have treated Trump badly.

Uh-oh.

NY, and judges, you're next!

You cannot stop GOD's appointee from making America "GREAT AGAIN".


If you live by Scripture, you'd know GOD's will, ways, wisdom, and wrath.

People don't fear the LORD enough.

Or maybe, they don't fear Him at all.

Well, we've got to.

My heart trembled when I saw that short Hollywood video.

I could almost feel GOD's wrath.

And what was to come.

I knew GOD wouldn't let that go.

And again, I was right.


As born again, knowing GOD's laws as I do, I grieve every time I hear anyone curse JESUS, or act haughty.

Or act as if they're invincible, and all-powerful.

Relishing in their face, form, fanbase, fortune, and fiefdom.

I know they're "ripe for judgment".

It's just the way things are.

GOD hates the haughty.

Isaiah 2:11-12

King James Version

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, 

and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, 

and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts 

shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, 

and upon every one that is lifted up; 

and he shall be brought low:


Just so you know, judgement's pretty quick, too.

It seems to accelerated in these end times.

In just a day, or two, the fires came.

Soon as I viewed that clip, and cringed.


Now California's burning.

New York is next.

Not necessarily through "fire".

I don't know what GOD will do with NY.

The third "mismanaged" state is Illinois.

It's as if they're "acting" in succession.

Just as they are.

And just as GOD is.

I marvel at my discoveries.

All I do is follow SPIRIT's prompt.


What can't people get?

I Scripturally know GOD chose Trump.

But 95% of media is against this president-elect.

Democrats defy him.

But the people love him.

And that's wonderful.

Because it's the people he intends to serve anyway.

It was never the politicians.

If anything, they ought to serve him.

GOD made him president of the land.


Here's how you can tell what belongs to GOD.

And what doesn't.

What GOD loves, Satan hates.

Which part do you belong to?


BEWARE California!

BEWARE New York!

BEWARE Illinois!

BEWARE Hollywood!

BEWARE all who shut out Trump!

BEWARE all who prosecute, and persecute, Trump!

BEWARE the woke, left, and Democrats!

BEWARE the wicked!

GOD will come for you.

Jeremiah 23:33

Contemporary English Version

News and Nuisance

The Lord said to me:

33 Jeremiah, 

when a prophet or a priest or anyone else 

comes to you and asks, 

“Does the Lord have news for us?” 

tell them, “You people 

are a nuisance[a] to the Lord, 

and he[b] will get rid of you.”

MAN and METAL

 Genesis 4:9-10

King James Version

9 And the Lord said unto Cain, 

Where is Abel thy brother? 

And he said, I know not: 

Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? 

the voice of thy brother's blood 

crieth unto me from the ground.


My father, a doctor, taught me how to drive.

But he also cautioned me about "vehicles".

He would say our bodies are "no match" for metal.

As a child, I always thought his words made sense.

As most of his preventive, and precautionary, measures were.

So I would take great care, and exercise awareness.


Truth be told, I was not keen on driving either.

Being behind a wheel gives you GREAT responsibility.

Surely you can feel your "power" over life, and death.

That at one moment of distraction, can be destruction.

You can be a danger to yourself, and others.

I was quite content being a passenger.

And let GOD lead my life.


Those not of the right mind are a danger to us all.

Their current "weapon" of "mass" destruction?

Vehicles.


They think nothing of plowing into a crowd.

Consider these reports:

December 2016

"On 19 December 2016, a truck was deliberately driven into the Christmas market next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church at Breitscheidplatz in Berlin, leaving 12 people dead and 56 others injured...As of December 2023, this attack remains the worst Islamist terrorist attack by number of casualties in German history."


October 2024:

A truck plowed into a a crowd at a bus stop in Tel Aviv, killing a 72-year-old man, and injuring more than 30 others. It seems to be a terrorist attack, hot on the heels of Israel's largest direct attack on Iran just a day before. The perpetrator was an Israeli-Arab citizen, shot dead at the scene. Israel faces constant attacks from Iran's proxies.


November 2024:

A 62-year-old man drove through a crowd exercising outside a sports complex in southern China. He was driving a "small SUV", and killed 35 people in the process. Voice of America (VOA) reports this is the worst attack in China since 2014. He was publicly-tried, and sentenced to death on the same day of the trial.


December 2024:

A Saudi Arabian psychiatrist was arrested for plowing into a Magdeburg Christmas market, killing five people (including a nine-year-old child), and injuring 200 others. His rented BMW went past the barriers, and into a crowd. It seems he didn't want too many Muslims allowed into Germany. Saudi Arabia warned Germany a year before about this man.


January 2025:

A man drove into a New Orleans New Year crowd at 3:00 a.m., killing 15 people, and injuring three dozen others. He also engaged in gun battle with police before he was shot dead. Jabbar was born in the United States, but had an ISIS flag in his vehicle. His truck was reported to have been registered in Texas.


If you are in shock at these drivers' actions, you should be.

Their motives range from revenge, to terrorism, to frustration, to sheer anger over a divorce, to just plain hatred, as well as "indoctrination", and mental instability.

They think nothing of plowing into an unsuspecting crowd, as they deliver their "message".


The Chinese court very aptly describes the carnage in the man's killing of 35 people, as reported by VOA:

'The court said the defendant's motives "were extremely vile, the nature of the crime extremely egregious, the methods particularly cruel, and the consequences particularly severe, posing significant harm to society," state media said.'


I'd like to enumerate these, for emphasis:

"extremely vile

the nature of the crime extremely egregious

the methods particularly cruel

and the consequences particularly severe

posing significant harm to society"


Whose handiwork can these be?

Who can do such cruel acts against unsuspecting people?

Man is Satan's tool.

Satan is behind ANY murder.

Remember what JESUS declared:

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.


The future for the wicked, and violent?

Psalm 11:4-6

King James Version

4 The Lord is in his holy temple, 

the Lord's throne is in heaven: 

his eyes behold, his eyelids try, 

the children of men.

5 The Lord trieth the righteous: 

but the wicked and him that loveth violence 

his soul hateth.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares,

 fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: 

this shall be the portion of their cup.


I've always thought there is no safety in crowds.

Please beware of finding yourself unnecessarily in one.

Whether it be a sports game, a concert, or yes, a mall, or even a market.

Many "demonic spirits" roam, intent upon corrupting man's heart, mind, body, and spirit, all the while causing death, and destruction.

1 Peter 5:8 

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:


Always have, as my father also reminded me:

"PRESENCE of MIND"


Where evil in the mind roosts, there's always cause for trouble.

Let not Satan gloat.

Let JESUS live in your hearts.

Become born again.

That SPIRIT may guide you.

To LOVE GOD above all.

And to LOVE others.


Having all that, there shall be no murder, revenge, or violence, in your heart.

The world will be a safer place to live in.

If hearts are one in CHRIST.

Only JESUS can really save us.

Find truth, and comfort, in that.

STOP the muckraking

  The LORD JESUS rebukes us all:

Matthew 7:3-5

King James Version

3 And why beholdest thou 

the mote that is in thy brother's eye, 

but considerest not the beam 

that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 

Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;

and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, 

first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; 

and then shalt thou see clearly 

to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


It was to be expected.

The day president-elect Trump won.

The "woke"  left wailed, and wrung their hands.

What was striking is that most media are for "woke".

There's only a handful who would speak well of Trump, and his nominees.

This I noticed as a recent watchman to all these political goings-on.


The left cannot accept defeat.

Their candidates lost.

Their programs crashed.

Their network and ratings plummeted.

How can it not?

Their programs were not sound.

They were into "hate".


Post-elections, they're still at it.

How to save face and profits?

Have more of the same.

Get on the winner's case.

Do some "muckraking" -- dig up "dirt".

Now, they've got a new bone to chew.

And chew they will, till their teeth fall out.


Hatred, and jealousy, are their fuel.

They're now on to the TRUMP team.

A dream team that America needs so badly.

Qualified nominees who are itching to work.

And to work well, with all they've got.

But no, this doesn't please the woke, asleep team.

They're not about to give up the cudgel.

But we're not surprised.

We're all in spiritual warfare.

We know the spirit behind "wars".

We know the "battle".


On 4 November 2024, Philippine time, GOD gave me a prophetic verse indicating Trump's win.

This morning, GOD gave me a dream, with the impression He was referring to Hegseth, nominee for Secretary of Defense, as "number four".

As it so happens, the woke media have dug up "dirt" on him.

Now, it's going to be mudslinging again.

Be wary of such media, dear readers.

There's a different "spirit" behind it.

Be careful of the "poison" they spew out.

Satan's not about to give up the fight.


Probably 99% of media worldwide don't like Trump, and his team.

In the same manner, that very same media don't like Israel, and Netanyahu.

Now, I'm going to tell you why.

Rather, Scripture will:

Ephesians 2:2 

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past ye walked 

according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience:


Satan is the "prince of the power of the air".

Everything of media is "on the air".

Everything is "aired", dirty linen, and all.

The very things many "woke" love.

Now, they've dug up Pete Hegseth's past "indiscretion".

As if Trump's other nominees don't have the same.

As if the woke don't have any.

As if we don't have any.

Didn't the Bible say:

Romans 3:9-10 

King James Version

9 What then? are we better than they? 

No, in no wise: for we have before proved 

both Jews and Gentiles, 

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, 

no, not one:


Romans 3:12 

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.


Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;


All who attack Trump and team, attack GOD's choice.

They have been appointed to look after America, and Israel.

There is no better candidate than Trump, and his nominees.

Perfect for these curious, crucial, chaotic days.

Can you imagine Kamala leading the military?

She can't even answer simple questions.

Through GOD, Trump literally "dodged" the bullet.

Through Satan, Kamala "dodged" questions.


Really think about it.

If you were running for top post of a country, wouldn't you want people to know what your plans and programs are?

Won't you be eager to let people in on your "vision"?

But no, each time faced with even simple questions, Kamala would laugh her head off.

Every time she can't answer a question, she'll try to "charm" her way out of it.

Through that now-infamous "cackle".

In fact, it was that "cackle" that alerted me to the danger America was facing.

We all know how Satan works through each one of us.

ESPECIALLY through us women.


Well, GOD foiled all of Satan's plans.

Trump won.

America won.

Israel won.

GOD has a plan.

Are you in it?

Do you want to be part of it?

Or will you continue to resist the LORD?

Will you rely on your limited human knowledge?

Or will you want to help out Trump, and his team?

Will you help secure America's borders?

Will you help her economy get up again?

Will you help her people have better jobs?

Will you help her get back to GOD?

Will you help Israel get back her hostages?

Will you help Israel have peace?

Will you help the world realize her errors?


All who love, belong to JESUS.

All who hate, belong to Satan.

It's really as simple as that.

Make your stand, for it's all preparation now.

Satan doesn't want you to know about the Rapture.

He'd rather you're woke, full of hate, full of sin, and asleep.

So when JESUS comes to collect His faithful, you're not part of it.

You have no idea what those left behind will have to face.


Before we look at other people's so-called "imperfections", best we look at ours.

Let us not be like the scribes and Pharisees -- hypocrites all -- who have been righteously rebuked by JESUS.

John 8:1-11

King James Version

8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, 

and all the people came unto him; 

and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him 

a woman taken in adultery; 

and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, 

Master, this woman was taken in adultery, 

in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, 

that such should be stoned: 

but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, 

tempting him, 

that they might have to accuse him. 

But Jesus stooped down, 

and with his finger wrote on the ground, 

as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, 

he lifted up himself, and said unto them, 

He that is without sin among you, 

let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, 

and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, 

being convicted by their own conscience, 

went out one by one, 

beginning at the eldest, 

even unto the last: 

and Jesus was left alone, 

and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, 

and saw none but the woman, 

he said unto her, 

Woman, where are those thine accusers? 

hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. 

And Jesus said unto her, 

Neither do I condemn thee: 

go, and sin no more.


That's really the KEY thing:

To "sin no more".


And how is that possible?

By being born again.

Which will give us the capacity to acknowledge our errors.

Giving us the awareness to repent, and to "sin no more".

The born again has the HOLY SPIRIT to teach him GOD's laws.


A true born again will not want to sin anymore.

Sin is anathema to us.

That's why everyone needs to be born again.

It is the ONLY WAY you can understand Who JESUS is.

What He taught.

Why He gave up His life for us.

Why He glorifies GOD so much.

What His commands are.

What we are expected to do.


All that is in the world is this:

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


GOD's ways are different from man's ways:

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.


True, no one's perfect.

But GOD also says:

Leviticus 19:1-2

King James Version

19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto all the congregation 

of the children of Israel, 

and say unto them, 

Ye shall be holy: 

for I the Lord your God 

am holy.


In support of that, the LORD JESUS commanded:

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven 

is perfect.


How to become perfect?

Through JESUS.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Through SPIRIT.

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


Through Scripture.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


EXPAND your vision.

Be a citizen of heaven.

Be perfect for GOD.

Join us on that HOLY Hill.

CHOOSE GOD.

And yes, please help Trump, and his team.

The Democrats have had their chance.

Let the Republicans have theirs, too.
