If you have not had this “life-saving” vaccine injected into your body, I would like you to consider a few things.

 I recently began, over a two-week period, to do what I know most will NOT do, and that is to research what this vaccine is intended to do and is it safe. What I came up with is an eight-page assessment, that answers most of the questions I have, and hopefully will answer questions for you.

As a side note. If you have already taken the vaccine and not yet experienced any of these “side effects” then I say congratulations. Some have asked if they have taken the mark of the beast by doing this. The short answer is NO, but by your actions, you demonstrated a lack of faith in the God who saves. Think about that, you, by taking whatever is in that shot you received, think that man has just saved and made you immune to future COVID attacks on your body. The problem with that thought process is that “they” have been telling that the inoculation does NOTHING to prevent you from obtaining COVID, nor does it prevent you from giving someone else the COVID. If that is the case, then why are they giving you an inoculation?

You, especially if you already got your first shot and think nothing happened to you, might be interested to know that you beat the odds as of February 4, 2021, there have been 653 deaths directly related to COVID19 injections. Did they die immediately? No, some died within hours, while others took days, but it could be determined that their death was directly related to the injection.

One of the biggest issues surrounding this COVID 19 vaccine is the question, are there any side effects?

The information immediately following is from Moderna's website unless it is in parenthesis, then it is mine.

Let's attack this from the argument's point of view, as I have heard many of these.

  • I am doing this because I want to be safe and to keep the world safe.

The problem with that, starting with the mask, which has been pushed as a “safety feature,” is that it does you NO good whatsoever. Unless it is an N95 mask, which in itself has safety drawbacks, the box your mask came in will tell you that the mask is NO help with biohazards. By the manufacturer's own admission, the vaccine will not prevent you from getting the virus; and in fact, the vaccine makes you a carrier of the virus, nor does it prevent transmission.

  • Will the vaccine prevent me from getting the Covid 19.

“The vaccine works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.”

The obvious logic is that you are being given a dosage of the COVID-19, so how can you think you can escape the disease. The problem is that the mRNA vaccine is using relatively new technology and was NEVER tested on humans. As Moderna puts it, this is an mRNA Prophylactic Vaccine.

End, page one.

mRNA Prophylactic Vaccines. “We designed our prophylactic vaccines modality to prevent or control infectious diseases. Since we nominated our first program in late 2014, this modality has grown to include nine programs, all of which are vaccines against viruses. The goal of any vaccine is to safely pre-expose the immune system to a small quantity of a protein from a pathogen, called an antigen so that the immune system is prepared to fight the pathogen if exposed in the future, and prevent infection or disease.”

Pay attention to the words they use, like “the goal.” What if prevention is NOT the goal? The people advocating the vaccines are the same people that have expressed the need to have 350,000 people die per day in order to reduce the population down to 500 million.

What does mRNA do?

“mRNA produces instructions to make proteins that may treat or prevent disease.”

Note the words “that may treat or prevent disease.” I suppose it all depends on who pays the bill, such as The World Economic Forum, that determines what the treatment will do.

Treat is a thinly veiled word, stated to convince you that they have your best interests in mind.

“Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the "program” or “app” is our mRNA drug - the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.”

Since you will have to get occasional updates, then I suppose they could change the program at any time. What then will be the result?

“Generally, the only thing that changes from one potential mRNA medicine to another is the coding region – the actual genetic code that instructs ribosomes to make protein. Utilizing these instruction sets gives our investigational mRNA medicines a software-like quality. We also have the ability to combine different mRNA sequences encoding for different proteins in a single mRNA investigational medicine.”

In this last sentence “they” have just told you that the vaccine has the potential to affect various functions in your body.

“mRNA medicines aren’t small molecules, like traditional pharmaceuticals. And they aren’t traditional biologics (recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies) – which were the genesis of the biotech industry. Instead, mRNA medicines are sets of instructions. And these instructions direct cells in the body to make proteins to prevent or fight disease.”

They just told you that this vaccine directs every cell in the body to copy the COVID-19 spikelet they just inserted into your body. You have now become the producer of COVID-19; and, they have told you that the mRNA can be instructed to fight you or benefit you.

From an interview with Dr. Lee Meritt

“they have made Mrna that will reproduce this human-made spikelet in every cell in your body. You are actually creating the pathogen in your body with the first dose of their vaccine. The vaccine produces something called immune enhancement, autoimmune enhancement, or antibody dependent enhancement.

Let's talk about antibody-dependent enhancement for a moment.

The mRNA regimen changes your genetics and takes over the immune system. The entire body is now the host for the virus thanks to this added protein, and you effectively have no natural antibodies. The vaccine now potentially sees your own organs as an enemy; therefore, you will need continuous updates to survive and you will have a permanent lifetime dependence on this new, governing body – the New World Order. Moderna has made statements to this very effect.

End, page two.

Overcoming Key Challenges

“Using mRNA to create medicines is a complex undertaking and requires overcoming novel scientific and technical challenges. We need to get the mRNA into the targeted tissue and cells while evading the immune system. If the immune system is triggered, the resultant response may limit protein production and, thus, limit the therapeutic benefit of mRNA medicines.”

Triggering the immune system is something that Doctors admit they don't fully understand. This triggering is like releasing a waterfall of destruction called a Cytokine Storm. In short, this is when your immune system becomes deadly, and thus producing horrific results in a variety of people. I strongly suggest you go to this website and read about the Cytokine Storm.

https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/cytokine-storm?utm_source=emailshare&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share-article&utm_content=20210209

We also need ribosomes to think the mRNA was produced naturally, so they can accurately read the instructions to produce the right protein. And we need to ensure the cells express enough of the protein to have the desired therapeutic effect.”

If this does not happen, then the body, which has just had its immune system replaced, can and will attack anything it thinks is a foreign body, like a pregnancy, and kill it.

From https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2020/12/covid-19-vaccines-transmission.html

We get an article BY SABIN RUSSELL / FRED HUTCH NEWS SERVICE, entitled “Vaccines stop COVID-19 symptoms, but do they stop transmission?”

“...the problem: The giant, successful studies that determined that both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were an astonishing 90%-95% effective in preventing disease cannot completely answer the question of how they worked.”

  • One person challenged my wife by saying, my vaccine came from Johnson & Johnson, which uses DNA not mRNA.

I found this information on https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/making-vaccines/prevent-covid

People make mRNA all the time. In our cells, DNA in the nucleus is used to make mRNA, which is sent to the cytoplasm where it serves as a blueprint to make proteins. Most of the time, the proteins that are produced are needed to help our bodies function.”

End, page three.

Again, the italicized wording is my commentary.

One of the first things I ask is, can I trust Johnson & Johnson, which has been forced to pay millions in lawsuits over asbestos in their baby powder; perhaps not. So I look to the science where this source is using an almost identical explanation as Moderna gives when they define how the mRNA works. The bottom line, it is the same thing.

“mRNA vaccines take advantage of this process by introducing the mRNA for an important protein from the virus that the vaccine is trying to protect against. In the case of COVID-19, the important protein is the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”

  • What are the side effects of the mRNA vaccine?

Sadly, most people will not read and research and therefore do not know what the side effects are. Still working from the chop.edu site. 

Side effects from both mRNA vaccines are caused as part of the immune response to the vaccines. In some ways, the more vigorous the immune response, the more common the side effects. The most common side effects from the mRNA vaccines are: Fatigue, Headache, and Muscle aches.”

But had you been paying attention, you would know that the intent is for the vaccine to bypass the immune system, because the immune system apparently does not work well with this “novel” vaccine, possibly even preventing it from working adequately for them. Many have developed Bell's Palsy, cranial bleeding, difficulty breathing, paralysis, and a wide variety of reactions that they do NOT want you to know about, including appendicitis attacks. You will NOT find this information if you search through any of Google's products as they have been scouring the internet to remove condemning evidence.

If you want to understand Bell's Palsy a bit more, a related website may help. - https://www.techarp.com/science/pfizer-covid-19-bells-palsy/ carries an article posted by Dr.. Adrian Wong, entitled: Does The Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Cause Bell’s Palsy?

Side effects occurred during the first week after vaccination, but were most likely one or two days after receipt of the vaccine. Side effects were more frequent following the second dose and more likely to be experienced by younger, rather than older, recipients. In the clinical trials side effects occurred at varying rates, for example only about 1 to 20 of every 100 people had a fever.

You should know that there is a mandatory 15 minute observation time. Why would they have to do that if the product is safe? The obvious answer is because they know many will have issues and some will be deadly. Most problems have started at the 20-minute mark. Realistically, you are not going to get a straight answer from any Google source, therefore I recommend DuckDuckGo and pull up https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/vaccines/.

From UPI.com - https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2021/01/22/CDC-10-life-threatening-reactions-linked-with-Moderna-COVID-19-vaccine/3371611335050/

CDC: 10 life-threatening reactions linked with Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, By Brian P. Dunleavy.

Below is typical of the standardized answers you get.

Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Ten of the more than 4 million people in the United States who received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine through Jan. 10 experienced a potentially life-threatening side effect, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The side effect, anaphylaxis, is a severe allergic reaction that can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include a skin rash, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing and shock. In most cases, it can be treated quickly with the "epi pen." Nearly 1,300 given the shot as of that date reported side effects as a result. All but 53 of these were considered minor, non-allergic reactions to the vaccine, such as swelling at the injection site, the CDC said. That figure includes the 10 cases of anaphylaxis, as well as 43 other allergic reactions that include itchy skin, rash, itchy sensations in the mouth and throat, sensations of throat closure and respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath, according to the agency. The 10 cases of anaphylaxis all occurred in women who received the shot, half of whom had a history of having a reaction to a vaccine and all but one of whom had medication allergies, the CDC said. The women ranged from age 31 to 63, and all but one began to experience the symptoms of anaphylaxis fewer than 15 minutes after receiving the shot, the agency said. All 10 were treated with the epi pen, which contains the drug epinephrine, and all are believed to have recovered fully, according to the agency.” “Vaccine facilities are also urged to be prepared to treat patients for anaphylaxis and have epi pens available in case they are needed.”

While the standardized propaganda claims that only 10 people were seriously affected, in reality, as of 02/04/21, there have been 653 cases where the vaccine targeting COVID19 has been used and the patient has died. You can find this information at Med Alerts.org https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID19&VAXTYPES=COVID-19&DIED=Yes

Lifesite website - https://lifesite.kartra.com/page/covid19vaccine gives us this information.

FDA: Death, heart attacks, stroke, blood disorders all possible side effects of the COVID vaccine
A slideshow presentation compiled by the FDA in October contains an extensive list of possible side effects which are to be monitored in conjunction with administering a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pfizer COVID jab warning: No breastfeeding, avoid pregnancy for 2 months, unknown fertility impacts A safety instructions document published by the UK government states 'For women of childbearing age, pregnancy should be excluded before vaccination'

End, page five.

The priest who participated in trials for unethical Moderna vaccine dies suddenly
The vaccine uses the ‘aborted fetal cell line HEK-293' in the ‘fundamental design of mRNA technology, their Spike protein and in the research, development, production, and testing.’

Coronavirus vaccine trial volunteer dies in Brazil
The volunteer was 28 years old and taking part in AstraZeneca's vaccine trial.

I hope you get the general idea. If I cling to the propaganda, they say, you will be like all the other sheep going blindly to the slaughter.

"The vaccine is not expected to have long-term negative effects for a few reasons:"

"First, most negative effects occur within 6 weeks of receiving a vaccine, which is why the FDA asked the companies to provide 8 weeks of safety data after the last dose.
Second, the mRNA in the vaccine breaks down pretty quickly because our cells need a way to stop mRNA from making too many proteins or too much protein. But, even if for some reason our cells did not breakdown the vaccine mRNA, the mRNA stops making the protein within about a week, regardless of the body’s immune response to the protein."

Perhaps this is one of the reasons for second and third vaccinations. By the way, just this morning, 02/12/21, Johnson and Johnson CEO claims that you will likely have to get update shots every year.

  • Once I have been vaccinated against coronavirus, am I exempt from lockdown restrictions?

Everyone will still need to practice recommended public health measures for a while because it will take some time to slow or stop the spread of the virus. Two factors are important for understanding why: While the vaccines appear to be highly effective at preventing disease, it might not prevent asymptomatic infection, meaning vaccine recipients might still be able to get infected, but not have symptoms and, therefore, unwittingly spread the virus.”

Why is it that lockdown restrictions will have to continue for a while; because this vaccine has nothing to do with you gaining your freedom or immunity, the purpose has always been to restrict, monitor, and control your actions. Allegedly, “they” will be looking for a herd immunity response. In reality, there are a number of things that must happen, including a massive population reduction, and a new global economy.

This next paragraph speaks to herd immunity.

“Scientists estimate that to control COVID-19, about 7 or 8 of every 10 people will need to be immune. Given that the U.S. population is more than 330 million people, this means that almost 250 million of them will need to be immune to reach this goal. If we had to rely on infections alone to stop the spread of COVID-19, between 1 million and 5.4 million people would die on the way to 250 million people becoming immune.”

End, page six.

“For these reasons, there will still be some period of time during which other measures, such as masks, social distancing, and other public health measures, will be required to slow or stop the spread of the virus. And, because we won’t know who might still be able to be infected after vaccination or previous illness, everyone will be asked to comply.”

Note how this ends. Everyone will be asked to comply. It will NOT be an option. Non-compliance will be dealt with by incarceration in detention compounds. Do any of you remember FEMA camps?

  • Do you know if the COVID-19 vaccines contain live virus?

We are still dealing with second-hand information the chop.edu website.

“None of the early vaccines (those by Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson) are using live weakened versions (similar, for example, to the measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella (chickenpox) vaccines). Moderna’s and Pfizer’s are mRNA vaccines, and AstraZeneca’s and Johnson & Johnson’s are non-replicating vectored vaccines. You can learn more about the different types of vaccines being tested in the response to “What types of COVID-19 vaccines are being tested?”

For a definition of non-replicating vectored vaccines, I went to the website:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-020-0746-0

“For COVID-19, several viral vector, nucleic acid-based vaccines, and antigen-presenting cells are in (pre)clinical development (Fig. 1). Viral vector vaccines consist of a recombinant virus (that is, the viral vector), often attenuated to reduce its pathogenicity, in which genes encoding viral antigen(s) have been cloned using recombinant DNA techniques. Vector vaccines can either be replicating or non-replicating. Replicating vector vaccines infect cells in which the vaccine antigen is produced as well as more infectious viral vectors able to infect new cells that will then also produce the vaccine antigen. Non-replicating vector vaccines initially enter cells and produce the vaccine antigen, but no new virus particles are formed. Because viral vector vaccines result in endogenous antigen production, both humoral and cellular immune responses are stimulated. One advantage of these viral vector-based vaccines is therefore that a single dose can be sufficient for protection, as in the case of the vesicular-stomatitis virus-based Ervebo vaccine against Ebola virus 11.”

The explanation from nature.com explains that the virus is weakened to reduce the power of the infecting agent. Try telling me again how there is no virus being injected. But there is something we are missing in this conversation, and that is a direct reference to COVID 19 because I am beginning to get the impression, that, as one theorist explains, they are giving us an injection spiked with HIV – human immunodeficiency virus. If that was the case, it is no wonder people are reacting strangely after injections. This also feeds into the planned depopulation.

End, page seven.

“For efficient uptake of the construct into cells, injection needs to be followed by electroporation. After uptake into cells, the vaccine antigen is expressed from the DNA construct. mRNA-based vaccines work on the same principle as DNA vaccines, except that the first steps (nuclear translocation of the DNA construct and transcription into mRNA) are bypassed. Self-replicating RNA vaccines are likely to induce protective immunity using a lower dose because more vaccine antigen is expressed per cell12. Since mRNA is not very stable, these constructs include modified nucleosides to prevent degradation. A carrier molecule is necessary to enable the entry of the mRNA into cells; lipid nanoparticles are most commonly used. Nucleic acid-based vaccines induce a humoral and cellular immune response, but multiple doses are required.”

electroporation -is the action or process of introducing DNA or chromosomes into bacteria or other cells using a pulse of electricity to briefly open the pores in the cell membranes.

Initially, this idea of electroporation did not make sense, especially if thousands are lining up in their cars at Dodger Stadium, that is until it occurs to me that this could easily be achieved through 5G antenna arrays and associated cell phone usage. Welcome to the New World.

One of the statements from Pastor JD Farag was that the vaccines used fetal tissues from aborted babies; this, in turn, created a challenge as the manufacturers deny this statement and governmental agencies are in concert. I did a search through DuckDuckGo (because Google will probably block you from finding this information, and it led me to https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/you-asked-we-answered-do-the-covid-19-vaccines-contain-aborted-fetal-cells

Here is what they said.

  • Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells?

Answer from infectious diseases expert James Lawler, MD

“No, the COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any aborted fetal cells. However, Pfizer and Moderna did perform confirmation tests (to ensure the vaccines work) using fetal cell lines.”

“But it's important to have the full context: Fetal cell lines are not the same as fetal tissue. Fetal cell lines are cells that grow in a laboratory. They descend from cells taken from elective abortions in the 1970s and 1980s. Those individual cells from the 1970s and 1980s have since multiplied into many new cells over the past four or five decades, creating fetal cell lines. Current fetal cell lines are thousands of generations removed from the original fetal tissue.”

This is nothing more than doublespeak, and the answer is yes, fetal cells were the originating source.

Are the fetal cells a game-changer as far God is concerned? Well, we are told in scripture that murdering our babies is an abhorrence in God's eyes. 

A slight shift in thinking.

If you have taken the vaccine, you have not taken the mark of the beast - the logic behind this is valid since the beast does not show up until 1260 days into the time after the church is removed from the earth, then what have you done? You have broken down internal barriers so that you will comply with further demands for submission more easily, and many of you will probably cave when the beast demands we all take a mark. 

Seems rather hopeless, doesn't it? But it isn't if you have your hope anchored in Jesus Christ. I put my faith in Him and chose to follow Him. This is called a relationship and makes me a part of Christ's body - the church. Many call themselves Christians, but they are willing to slaughter babies, so I would disavow myself from people like that and pursue a relationship in which you get to know the nature and character of God through His Son. This relationship is my guarantee of forgiveness and salvation from the coming wrath of the beast system that is coming. 

Should you choose to do your own thing and ignore this Jesus I speak of, you will find yourself stuck here during this horrific time called God's wrath. Just know, this wrath was NOT meant for you, but God gave you the freedom to make your own decisions and so here you are. Follow after God anyway. You will have to grow a backbone because they will demand that you deny this Christ or have your head cut off, but consider that He will accept you into the kingdom, where you will be loved forever, and there will be peace.

So, we have had our elections, but anxiety could easily overtake us.

 So, we've had our elections, and as of Wednesday morning 11/4/2020, we are deeply entrenched in the voting scandals we expected. I have been seeing the 96-mile long vehicle rallies for Trump, the crowds of people who attend the political rallies for Trump, and, I have seen the rallies for Biden/Harris and there is hardly anyone there. Come Tuesday night, about 9:30 P.M. I had to turn off the reports as the anxiety could have easily overwhelmed me. I literally heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “Turn it off and relax; I have got this under control.” Ah, therein the problem lies because what we perceive as being under control is defined by how my head wants this situation to play itself out.

Now, this election may still play itself out according to my hopes, and an example came from my Pastor, Jack Hibbs, as I listened this Thursday afternoon 11/5/2020, to Pastor Jack's Wednesday night service, where he spoke about God being in control and the real anxiety that many of us feel. Pastor Jack asked the audience to take out their phones and look up “138,000 votes.” Yes, that's right, 138,000 votes got turned to Pennsylvania's election headquarters at 7:30 on Wednesday morning, and every one of those votes was for Joe Biden. That, for Biden, became the game-changer, as far as Pennsylvania was concerned. Immediately, the head that understands a common-sense world should have thought, that is impossible. And still, the fight goes on.

Now, just because you have faith, pour your little heart out to God, and listen to level headed speakers that deliver a clear message giving you educated reasons to NOT vote for a particular candidate, does not mean your man will get elected.

If that is the case what are we going to do?

One of the phrases that we hear in religious circles is to occupy. The terminology often has much to do with the reasons why we don't need to know the exact day of the Lord's return, and that is because most of us are lazy and we will do 101 things other than stay focused and ready for the Lord's return, most of which are in opposition to God,

The word occupy shows up in Luke 19:12-13 KJV

He said, therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. (13) And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

If you read this from the NASB, it reads like this.

Luke 19:13b NASB "..., 'Do business with this until I come back.'

Note the italicized words. Those were added to gain clarity. In reality, much like the KJV, we are to do business until he comes; no matter when that happens. To put this into common language, keep doing what you know to do until He comes back.

How many of you have been paying attention, not only to Bill Gates, but to Dr. Fauci, and other representatives of the World Economic Forum. This COVID 19 virus was their creation, with the specific purpose of bringing in a Global reset, a reduction in population, a global monetary system, and your subservience. Yes, this is all true, and if you are still reluctant to believe such things look at the Draconian measures New Zealand is already ascribing to. Canada and the United Kingdom, are right behind New Zealand. The mask you wear has no effectiveness against a 3 micron Covid molecule, and therefore must have some other purpose; and it does, as it is meant to control and bring the populace under submission. Can you do anything without your mask on?

Since I still have a church I can attend, I will continue to do so; and I will do until “they” lock and chain the doors, at which point every person I come in contact with becomes my church, my mission field, and my reason for living.

All that stuff about the World Economic Forum only works if people of power act in unison; and this is exactly what former Vice President, now Presidential candidate is doing when he states, “on day one of my Presidency, there will be a mandatory national mask mandate.” He is telling you, you will comply. All the subtle talk about Socialism is very much the purpose of the New World Order.

You can be like my stepdaughter and tell me, I don't believe that will happen, she is saying this in response to my telling her that Canada will incarcerate if you do not comply with the rapidly coming COVID 19 vaccination program. Much like New Zealand, refusal will make you a lawbreaker within your own home as by your refusal to be vaccinated you are endangering your household, and you will be incarcerated until you comply. To people like my stepdaughter, that refuse to contemplate such things happening, I say, you just go on living in your pastel-colored world, regardless of the fact that in many cities the streets are turning from pastel to blood red at the hands of fascist rioters; and soon, at the hand of Muslim enforcers of Sharia law, as they take over cities and make them no go zones, much like has happened in England. The reality is that this level of horror is happening as we speak and will only amplify. BLM Inc. and Antifa, have a dedicated purpose and goal to burn down our cities.

Did you know that a well-known prophecy in the Quran, is that the Mahdi (Christianities Antichrist,) will only come in the midst of chaos?

Joe Biden has recently been quoting from the Quran and is an advocate of Sharia law in our streets.

So, now, let me ask you, how much civilized time do you think we have left on the streets of America?

If you can even come close to answering that question, it is because you have a logical mind, can see the handwriting on the wall, and have inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Perhaps, if you cannot say, that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, then maybe you should move quickly to fix that. He, Jesus, moves very quickly into the lives of those who call upon His name.

Jesus is coming soon.

How do I know that?

  1. My mind takes a logical path as I look through scripture and look at what is happening in the world.

    One does not have to be prophetic to see and understand these things, but the Bible tells us it is a great mystery and that the god of this world has blinded the eyes of most of you so that you cannot see it. Many of you think that the Presidential re-election of Donald Trump is a joke. Let me tell who the joker is. He is Satan - and he does not deserve to be referred to in the upper case; and, he is the great deceiver. Want proof.

     

    Revelation 12:9 NASB And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

    There are others with him. How many angels came to earth with him? If you could take an uncountable number, and then take a third of that number, that is how many angels bought into his mutiny and fell with him. In other words, there are enough to have one assigned to each of us. Don't let that bother you too much, as there are twice as many that are assigned as our personal bodyguards by the Father.

  2. If you noticed, at the very beginning of this post, I said, “I heard the Holy Spirit say.

    This voice is the activity of the comforter, which Jesus said He would send when He left the earth and returned to the Father; but it is also an aspect of the prophetic.

    Anyone, if they choose to listen to God's voice, can and will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

    In trying to explain this process I tell people that it often seems like one of the many voices I have in my head. Don't look at me like I am crazy, we all have voices in our heads, some sound like an abusive, or manipulative person in your life, while at other times it sounds like the wisdom of my wife.

    When the Holy Spirit speaks, I, more often than not, have no problem distinguishing whose voice it is, as He never leads me to anything but the truth. Truth, by the way, comes from the established Word of God.

    So, immediately, upon beginning to write these words, knew that many, even those who align themselves with some religion, would say, your words are false and made up, as no one needs to speak as a prophet any more because we have the Word of God. That is all well and good I suppose, but the fact that you can say something that narrow-minded demonstrates that you don't read, or know, the Word of God, nor does Jesus dwell within you.

With all that said, I need to tell you a story.

Mom has been gone almost two years now. We had already seen the symptoms of pancreatic cancer, but we did not know it, nor did mom. A part of the problem with the detection of serious issues comes from the hard hardheadedness of the patient as many don't want to admit they are in distress and therefore do not get early or appropriate help from the Doctor. The other problem comes from the medical facilities that don't see the necessity to spend the money necessary to ascertain what the problem is; therefore, things like pancreatic cancer go undetected until they are at stage four and beyond practical treatment.

2018 was a mess. Dad had been dealing with diabetic neuropathy for several years, and he was sure that a nerve pinch was a cause of all his problems; that was not the case and the doctors found a cancerous brain tumor about the size of a tamale and had to remove it. We did not know if he would be able to walk again, and we had to have the bathroom remodeled in case dad would be wheelchair-bound – that process took several months, and caused a tremendous amount of emotional strain. Dad had also been having emotional meltdowns, telling us that he was going to die in surgery; these meltdowns continued even after, in recovery in a sister's home as they waited for the remodel to get done. He struggled with his new, but temporary disabilities and refused to use the wheelchair. Now, here is where the Holy Spirit begins to kick in hard. On multiple occasions, I had told Dad, and other family members, that he will be fine.

In the meantime, mom is dying, although we have no definitive information about that diagnosis. In early January of 2019, Dad demanded that he be put back in his house. Shortly thereafter, mom begins having issues with what she simply calls, old lady problems. Dad refuses to have the Doctor do a biopsy, and so the Doctor doing the best he could, told mom and dad, that in all likelihood she has pancreatic cancer. I have never seen anyone come back from pancreatic cancer. Several of us spent some time in the faith movement – many aspects are good, such as reading God's Word, but the negative side of this movement shows it's ugly head when you try to bully your way through God and people. Some of my family members still lean in this direction. I told the other family members that mom would be gone within six months. Nobody wanted to hear that, and thus began the barrage of angry faith statements, like she will live forever.

How did I know that mom would die?

I heard a voice; I trust in God, and I lean heavily upon the Holy Spirit to guide me. If it were not for the Holy Spirit, I would be floundering, especially in the current situations.

Dad insisted that mom continue doing their somewhat normal routine, and they would go to church on Sunday nights, and almost every night they would go meet some friends at a local restaurant. Remember what that is like? My wife and I would join them on occasions, and I often saw my mother shed a tear because of the pain she was in. In early February, I heard the Holy Spirit tell me, “you need to go say goodbye to your mother.” It was clear and did not seem like a suggestion, and so my wife and I went. Saying goodbye, and telling her, if you want to go home to be with Jesus, it's okay. You have done your job well and we are all going to be okay. All of us know the Lord.

I left that night and immediately sent a message to my brother who lives the farthest away, up the hill. I told him, the Holy Spirit just told me that mom would be dead before the week is out and that he needed to get down here right away. He showed up the next day and had communion with mom, and also said his goodbyes. That brother told me a short time later, that they all laughed me to scorn, but yet he came. I said my goodbyes on Monday and mom took her last breath here on earth Sunday morning. She, because she knew that dad would want to go to church, was up and dressed that Sunday morning. Dad, not believing that she was even out of bed, called to her to check on her status. She answered him and moments later let out a scream of pain. She immediately went back to bed, ready for church, and was dead just a few hours later, dancing in the arms of Jesus.

Several months went by when dad says to me, your brother told me that you knew when mom would die. I simply replied, yes. He responded to that by saying, has God told you anything about me? God had, but I did not want to tell him as dad was in an emotionally fragile state.

So, am I a prophet? I used to think it would be very cool to have a superhero type of role, perhaps then I would get respect – something I have never felt. My imagery of prophets came from guys like Samuel and Elijah. Samuel hacked up King Agag, and Elijah called fire down from heaven. Pretty cool, huh? But acting out like Samuel will get you thrown into prison, and Jesus told his disciples that calling fire down from heaven, was not their mission; so I guess that's out.

But here is the scriptural reality, when I was about 23, I committed my life once again to Jesus Christ. I had a dream/vision one night. It was so real that I still have difficulty explaining to people that it was a dream. In that dream, Jesus stood at the end of my bed and laid out my life before me. I thought I should write this down, but I did not because it was so vivid and I thought I would never forget what had been said to me. Well, guess what, by morning I forgot every word. I do remember that He had been there and told me my entire life. I remember being filled with joy. Now, the truth is, I have lived most of my life, AND, it has NOT all been good. To the best of my understanding, there is something more to come and it should be fantastic.

So, after that dream life went on. Within a couple of years, I got married to a girl I met in church – they told me, go to church and get a good woman. Ha, she cheated on me twice. Do you get the general idea that life went south on me real quick? A few years passed and I got married again. This time I destroyed the relationship, and finally, I have been involved in this current relationship for over twenty years and we have been married for the last four of those years. No, life has been rough, and my dream of being a bible teacher has only been fulfilled by putting my life up on the internet for you to see.

One day, I was reading how Moses' brother and sister, attempted a mutiny. They said, what makes you think God speaks to you alone. You can find this story in the book of Numbers chapter 12. God defined a prophet during this process with this verse.

Numbers 12:6 NASB He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream.

After reading this passage, I asked the Lord, does that mean I too am a prophet? To which he said yes. To be honest, I have never figured out what that means as I think most of these so-called prophets are frauds, just trying to make a dollar. God has spoken to me, and one of the things He keeps telling me is that He is coming back soon, but then, He is saying that too many people. Maybe He means it.

Heirs with Christ, Romans 8:12-16


We ended our last study with this:
Romans 8:9-11 NLT But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)  (10)  And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.  (11)  The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Take a moment to let these truths about you, sink in.
  • You are NOT controlled by your sinful nature.
  • You are controlled by the Spirit – IF you have the Spirit of God living in you.
      How did or do we get the Spirit of God to live inside of us? Through faith.
  • And (because) Christ lives in you, even though your body may die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.
  • The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.
      Job 19:27 NLT I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!
  • And, just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
      Everything Paul said, was based in the Torah and Tenach, here is an example: Isaiah 26:19 NLT But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead!
Romans 8:12 – 17 entitles this next section,

Heirs with Christ


As we open the new section, I find this opening statement so powerful that it takes my breath away.

Romans 8:12 NLT  Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.

The KJV version uses a variation from the NLT.
“We are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.”

We don't owe Satan anything, for he has NO hold on us IF we are in Christ. That statement includes all the stupid stunts we have pulled after receiving Christ.

Romans 8:13 Williams  “for if you live by such a standard, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put a stop to the doings of your lower nature, you will live.”

What standard is the Williams translation speaking of? The one that the flesh sets for us, one in which we do what the flesh demands. Look, once again, at what Paul said in Romans 8:6.

Romans 8:6 Williams For to be thinking the things suggested by the lower nature means death, but to be thinking the things suggested by the Spirit means life and peace.”

Is it as “harsh” as what Adam had when God said to him, you are not to eat from, nor touch the tree? If merely pondering the things my flesh suggests means death, then I am surprised that I have lived this long. Obviously, death is something more than just physical?

Romans 8:13b. CJB  For if you live according to your old nature, you will certainly die; but if by the Spirit, you keep putting to death the practices of the body, you will live.

Death seems inevitable, that is, unless you, by the Spirit put the practices of the flesh to death.
Things to note here:
  • Death does not necessarily mean a physical end to life, although it can. The Complete Jewish Bible added the phrase “keep putting.”
The Greek word is thanatoō, and it means to cause...to be put to death, made to die, and putting to death. The Amplified Bible uses the word habitually to convey the message.

All of these definitions are indicative of a combat-ready attitude or a fighting mentality.

Ephesians 6:12 NIV  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Keep in mind that you are NOT fighting against flesh and blood; you are battling against demonic forces, allied with Satan. The purpose is that you take a proactive stance against the enemy's attacks against you. These attacks have everything to do with what your body and mind want to do, such as road rage, retaliation, throwing a tantrum, or pursuing some addictive behavior.

Let's assume that you have taken this proactive behavior, and you are trying to stave off the enemy's attacks, which often look like people. 
Are you winning? 
If it seems like you are not, then here is a piece of information that might help.

Ephesians 6:13c-14 NASB Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (14) Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
  • Verse 13 ends with “stand firm.” Why? Because you have done everything, you know how to do.
      Does the story end there? No.
The Moffatt's translation tells us to continue to hold our ground :

Ephesians 6:14 Moffatt NT (14) Hold your ground, tighten the belt of truth about your loins, wear integrity as your coat of mail,

I suggest you read Ephesians chapter six through to the end, as it defines our spiritual armor in detail.

If you live, what will that look like for you?

You may only see what this world has to offer, and that falls pathetically short of God's kingdom. But if you said, I will live in eternity, with the Father, wrapped in peace, then you would be correct.

Romans 8:14 Moffatt NT For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God.

The NASB states,
Romans 8:14 NASB For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Alternative words for led are driven or induced. Don't you see the fallacy of you having control? God has His hand upon us, in the form of the Holy Spirit, all the time, and the fact that you are being led proves that you are a son of God.

If you, as Paul did, submitted yourself to Jesus Christ like a slave, then you are guided by that same Spirit of God.
Romans 8:15 NLT  So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”

Yes, I posted a verse that uses the term slave. There is hardly a reasonable human that sees slavery as anything other than fearful. The concept of slavery is nothing less than dismal, that is unless things go well for you, and you long to stay in what you feel is “a protected and loving” environment as a bond-servant. This slavery is the portrayal of the person that we see in scripture voluntarily having their ear pierced as an indication that they have given themselves over permanently to their owners.

Exodus 21:5-6 KJV  And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:  (6) Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

Deuteronomy 15:15-17 KJV  And you shalt remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.  (16)  And it shall be, if he says unto you, I will not go away from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;  (17)  Then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be your servant forever. And also unto your maidservant, you shalt do likewise.

Fortunately, our relationship with God is never that harsh, and the idea of being a bond-servant is purely voluntary. Many think they have walked away from God's ownership, but I do not believe that is possible as God certainly can keep track of those who belong to Him.

Romans 8:16 MKJV  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
  • The Spirit Himself”
      Spirit is pneuma and means a current of air. We saw this show up when the disciples, all gathered in one place, heard a rushing might wind, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. It is also God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and the life of God himself.
  • bears witness with our spirit.”
      Bears” is the Greek word summartureō and means to testify jointly, corroborate by concurrent evidence, testify unto, and bear witness with.
      This next one puzzles me. The idea of our spirit aligns itself, in my mind, with the original creation, where God made man in His own image. Genesis 1:26-27 NASB Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." (27) God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

      Look at John, chapter 4, where it defines what God is.
        John 4:24 NASB, "God is a spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

      If God is a spirit, and man is made in His image, then humans, at their core, are spirits too.

      The definition of God and His spirit are the same word – pneuma. How is it possible that a living, breathing entity that can come to the earth in the same form as us can be what seems like little more than a breath? I suppose that is the mystery of God.

  • that we are the children of God.”
                               Children are the Greek word téknon, meaning to bring forth (as in a) child.

So, God, after years of damage and rebellion on our part, still leans on the fact that we were created in His image, that and the fact that we, as believers, have His Spirit in us, that makes us those who have been brought forth. No decent human should throw aside their progeny, and yet we do, but NOT God. He sought us out and made way for our return to His side.
