This is a Hard Saying

47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”
52 Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
53 So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. 54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”
59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”

From Paul’s 2nd Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 10, verses 3 through 5

Shattering the Strongholds Sunday

We are told in the scriptures that we are at war. And we are told that we have the use of God’s mighty weapons. Weapons that are capable of shattering strongholds of thinking that are actively preventing people from knowing God.
And yet, before we can liberate the captives, we must first free ourselves from wrong thinking. Where are we agreeing to lies? Have we entertained the whispers of the wormtongue who seductively counsels us against standing strong in faith, hope, and love?
When you read/hear about entrenched corruption are your thoughts immediately oriented to the voice of wormtongue or better influences? Are you keeping your head in the game and asking, “Where is our maximal impact going to come from?”

What if we are meant to be the sheepdogs? What if God wants to partner with us to bring the “sheep” into the safety of the fold?

Please consider the following story that begins with two strong and godly women praying for their community to return to the goodness of God.
Their prayers shattered the strongholds in lives of the careless, pleasure-seeking people around them. And true heart-changing conviction was the result.
Let’s ask God to do it again!

Hebrides-Revival

Excerpt from “Revival In The Hebrides” by Duncan Campbell

Now I am sure that you will be interested to know how, in November 1949, this gracious movement began on the island of Lewis. Two old women, one of them 84 years of age and the other 82-one of them stone blind, were greatly burdened because of the appalling state of their own parish. It was true that not a single young person attended public worship. Not a single young man or young woman went to the church. They spent their day perhaps reading or walking but the church was left out of the picture. And those two women were greatly concerned and they made it a special matter of prayer.

A verse gripped them: “I will pour water on him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground.” They were so burdened that both of them decided to spend so much time in prayer twice a week. On Tuesday they got on their knees at 10 o’clock in the evening and remained on their knees until 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning–two old women in a very humble cottage.

One night, one of the sisters had a vision. Now remember, in revival, God works in wonderful ways. A vision came to one of them, and in the vision she saw the church of her fathers crowded with young people. Packed to the doors, and a strange minister standing in the pulpit. And she was so impressed by the vision that she sent for the parish minister. And of course he knowing the two sisters, knowing that they were two women who knew God in a wonderful way, he responded to their invitation and called at the cottage.

That morning, one of the sisters said to the minister, “You must do something about it. And I would suggest that you call your office bearers together and that you spend with us at least two nights in prayer in the week. Tuesday and Friday if you gather your elders together, you can meet in a barn-a farming community, you can meet in a barn-and as you pray there, we will pray here. Well, that was what happened, the minister called his office bearers together and seven of them met in a barn to pray on Tuesday and on Friday. And the two old women got on their knees and prayed with them.

Well that continued for some weeks–indeed, I believe almost a month and a half. Until one night; now this is what I am anxious for you to get a hold of–one night they were kneeling there in the barn, pleading this promise, “I will pour water on him that is thirsty, floods upon the dry ground” when one young man, a deacon in the church, got up and read Psalm 24.

“Who shall ascend the hill of God? Who shall stand in His holy place?  He that has clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity or sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing (not a blessing, but the blessing) of the Lord.”

And then that young man closed his Bible. And looking down at the minister and the other office bearers, he said this-maybe crude words, but perhaps not so crude in our Gaelic language-he said, “It seems to me to be so much humbug to be praying as we are praying, to be waiting as we are waiting, if we ourselves are not rightly related to God.“ And then he lifted his two hands-and I’m telling you just as the minister told me it happened-he lifted his two hands and prayed, “God, are my hands clean? Is my heart pure?“

But he got no further. That young man fell to his knees and then fell into a trance. Now don’t ask me to explain this because I can’t. He fell into a trance and is now lying on the floor of the barn. And in the words of the minister, at that moment, he and his other office bearers were gripped by the conviction that a God-sent revival must ever be related to holiness, must ever be related to Godliness. Are my hands clean? Is my heart pure? The man that God will trust with revival-that was the conviction. … [And God did come! Otherwise nothing would have changed …]

… But oh, if something happens that demonstrates God!

And the communists will hide in shame! I remember one night I saw seven communists–up until then they will spit in your face, talk about religion being the dope of the masses. Educated men. Wouldn’t go near a church.hebridesintercessors

But dear old Peggy had a vision one night and in the vision she saw seven men from this particular community from this center of activity born again and becoming pillars of the church of her father.

She sent for me and told me that God had revealed to her that He was going to move in this particular village.

Oh, yes, there were communists there, godless men there but what was that to God when God began to work He would deal with that. So she kept on talking like that. I said, “Peggy, I have no leadings to go that village. You know that there is no church there, and the schoolmaster is one of those men who would never dream of giving me the schoolhouse for the meetings. I have no leadings to go.”

And do you know what she said to me? She said, “Mr. Campbell, if you were living as near to God as you ought to be, He would reveal His secrets to you, also.“ And I took it from the Lord. Oh, dear people, it is good to get the Word within you. It is good to see yourself as others see you. That was how I felt. I said, “Peggy, would you mind if I call for the parish minister and together we will spend the morning together with you in prayer?” “Oh, I’ll be happy too.”

So we came and we knelt with her and she began to pray and in her prayer she said this–“Lord, do You remember what you told me this morning when we had that conversation together?” Oh how near she was God! “I’m just after telling Mr. Campbell about it but he’s not prepared to take it-You give him wisdom because the man badly needs it!”

That was what she said! “The man badly needs it!” And of course she was speaking truth. Of course I needed it. I needed to be taught. But I was at the feet of a woman who knew God in an intimate way. And I was prepared to listen. So I said, “Peggy, when will I go to that village?” “Tomorrow.” “What time?” “Seven o’clock.” “Where am I to hold a meeting?” “You go to the village and leave the gathering of the people to God and He will do it.”

5bda689ed4dff221a7cde1a9_heb-hero-small-p-500And I went to the village and when I arrived I found a crowd around a seven room bungalow. I found five ministers waiting for me. And the house was so crowded that we couldn’t get in-indeed, we couldn’t get near it. And I stood on a hill in front of the main door. I gave out my text: “The times of [this ignorance God winked at] but now commands men everywhere to repent and because he hath appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained.”

I preached for about 10 minutes when one of the ministers came to me and said, “Mr. Campbell, you remember what you spoke about at five o’clock this morning out in a field in that wonderful meeting when you tried to help those that were seeking God?” I happened to speak from John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me. I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish. Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

He says, “Could you not go to the end of the house there are some men there and we are afraid that they will go mental they are in such a state. Oh, they are mighty sinners and they know it-they are spoken of here as communists.” And they say that three of them were here in the United States and went back communists.

I went and I saw seven men. The seven men that Peggy saw. And they were crying to God for mercy. The seven of them were saved within a matter of days. And if you go to that parish today, you would see a church with a stone wall built around it, heated by electricity and all done by the seven men who became pillars of the church of Peggy’s father.

Did We Stop Too Soon? – A Question To Ask

When you hear someone only provide a part of the story, but without the rest of the details the entire meaning is lost? Did it bother you? This practice is rampant in our Mind Control Media (MCM) but has also entrenched itself so deeply into our culture that you might not realize how much has been undermined by it.
Everything from religion to law to government to science has been broken using this method. The horrific practice of reductionism in science particularly galls me. Nearly every paper I read in biology or medicine demonstrates that modern research is crafted to provide an intended outcome beforehand. A failure to review other possible mechanisms for a study’s results is so common, I doubt that peer reviewers or researchers even think much about it anymore.
It’s like using stick figures to illustrate a grand ballet and expecting everyone to just go along with the illusion. Most of the time the omissions slip by without much thought on our part, but a particularly glaring omission jumped out at me last week and I had to forgive the source as it was in the Liturgy of the Hours which is given to those serving in the Roman Catholic tradition to be read out loud/prayed each day throughout the year. It became part of my usual routine some years ago as I found it to be a good preparation for centering each day.
The omission in this case is the reading of only half of a sentence of scripture from the book of Acts, describing the event of Pentecost. Apparently this reading has been the tradition for some time as the teaching that accompanied it came from the 13th Century.
The picture of this event is completely changed when the entire sentence in verse 4 is given instead of stopping at the word “speak.” As you can see, verse 4 continues with “in other languages which the Holy Spirit made them able to speak.”
Acts 2 1-13
So, in the original text the story is about a group of local Jewish believers miraculously speaking in languages they were not familiar with and had not been taught. In the edited text (and I suppose thought of the Roman Catholic church) they were just empowered to speak. No hint of the supernatural gift described in the context given in the scriptures.
8a46e-serveimage
Note, that anyone raised in that tradition might not even be reading the actual text of the Bible for themselves often enough to realize that it stopped in mid-sentence. To be fair, there is actually a time when Jesus is in the synagogue reading from Isaiah and only reads half a sentence, so it’s not without precedent. However, in Jesus’ case I believe the choice was to develop a prophetic focus. The motive for excising the miraculous from the text in Acts 2 could be more to avoid an awkward conversation. In the best possible light, the omission could be attributed to the earnest desire for the faithful to speak out the Gospel, but the violence done by the reading caused me some real anger. How dare they alter the text in this way!
This made me think of another way that using “short-hand” thinking on any particular subject opens us up to making judgements without a full understanding of the situation. When our thinking about something is missing key pieces we are open to error or deception. Like a gap in one’s armor, incomplete pictures of reality expose a weakness that can and does often lead to harm. Harm to not only our community, but also to the Kingdom of God.
When we think of “THE CHURCH” we often have a picture of people around the world that look like us, believe like us, sing the same songs as us, or read scripture the same way as us. And we are the poorer for this. Perhaps that is why I bring in images and practices from various traditions for my posts. When we see beyond our own culture we become better able to see with God’s eyes the world we are really living in.
The favored institutional churches of a particular locale have been persecuting their fellow Christians for a very long time. And rare is the church that doesn’t teach “against” some other faith tradition or other. How it must hurt the Father’s heart when the members of the Bride of His Son fight among themselves over non-essentials of the faith. And a house divided is weakened and Jesus says it cannot withstand adversity.
Maybe we could spend a little time thinking about who is edited out of our picture of “THE CHURCH.”
Do you think of the Chaldean Church in Iraq, 1533849163Native Americans in Alaska or Charismatic Catholics in Canada? What about small groups of believers among the tribes living in the Amazon jungles? Or secret believers that have come to faith in Jesus while surrounded by an Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu culture.

Q-Treepers on Parler

WARNING – Parler is NOT “Parlor”

Yes. There is a DIFFERENT place called “Parlor” that the Cabal is trying to get people to go to instead of Parler. It even gets favored in search engines and app stores. I have no idea who is behind Parlor, but it’s probably GOOLAG, the CHICOMS, the WOCOMMIE SISTERS, or the KGB-CIA. *** AVOID ***

Only PARLER with an “E” is dedicated to FREE SPEECH.

By the way, I love saying WOCOMMIE SISTERS. It sounds like a BAD BAND.

Here is the REAL McCOY: https://home.parler.com/

WARNING – read this warning first

If you type your REAL NAME into any field in social media (such as “Gab” or “WordPress” or “Parler”) that says “Name”, you risk people seeing that name.

In fact, if you use your REAL NAME in ANY WAY in connection to a social media account, you risk being “doxxed”.

So if your email address is myrealname@company.com, then any HACKER of the site knows that YOU own the account.

You MAY or MAY NOT be comfortable with that.

On Parler (formerly pronounced “par-LAY”, now pronounced “PAR-luhr”) you can create an account that is “really you”, and you can get verified as being really you. But you don’t have to do that if you want to remain anonymous.

For POLITICS, I suggest you remain anonymous. To do that, don’t use your real name. Use a name like:

  • First Name: Joe
  • Last Name: Smith
  • User Name: joe_smith

It doesn’t have to be real. It could be:

  • First Name: MAGA
  • Last Name: CHICK
  • User Name: AwesomeMagaChick73

Then, use an email address that is not OBVIOUSLY you.

Are we clear about this?

If you actually associate your REAL NAME with an account, even if it’s “supposed to be hidden”, there is a RISK that – SOMEHOW – your real name, and not your USER NAME, will be released. It could be by hacking, by accidental release of the information (you check a box that says “Show my name” and it means your NAME and not your USER NAME), or just by you not understanding that when people go to your profile, they will see your name.

Please also note that Parler obeys AMERICAN laws about privacy, speech, and all that other stuff – not European laws.

If any of this is STILL confusing to you – the idea that if you put your real name into a social media product (meaning it’s on the internet) – that other people might see it somehow – then I suggest not doing anything new at this time.

Otherwise, I suggest that you NEVER type any personal information into a computer that you use for politics on the internet. NEVER. Using that rule, work out everything else, and only the intelligence agencies and who they support (such as the American communists and/or DNC) will know who you are. Because they have ALREADY stolen that information.

W

/ end warning

By the way, our VSGPOTUS Trump is not on PARLER yet, but I am starting to think it’s inevitable, so GET ON PARLER NOW!!!

Assuming that you understand this warning, I then suggest that you use the same handle (meaning USER NAME) you’ve been using on Twitter and/or Gab and/or WordPress, simply because it makes you easier to find for your FRIENDS.

However, if you want maximum security, then you can always use a completely different user name. The choice is yours.

NOW – finally – to the point of this thread.

If you are on Parler, please add your Parler handle (spelled exactly) in the comments. We are NOT using Parler for reorganization, because GAB is more robust and “commie-proof”. However, you are likely getting OFF Twitter and ONTO Parler, and we can share our Parler user names here.

Mine is the same on Parler as it is on Twitter and Gab: WOLFM00N with two zeroes in m00n.

SO – how do you GET onto Parler?

Go to this URL – https://home.parler.com

You can sign up there. Follow the directions – it’s all very easy. You ONLY NEED AN EMAIL ADDRESS. But I strongly suggest deciding things BEFORE you go there:

  • what email address you will use
  • what name you will use
  • what user name / handle you will use
  • what password you will use
  • how you will remember your password
  • how you will remember which email address

Don’t pick stuff you are going to forget. THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM I see in users of social media is people picking obscure stuff and forgetting. DON’T DO THAT. Write stuff down if you have to.

Then start by going to my handle or somebody else you know. Look through my followers, and who I am following. You will see people you know. FOLLOW THEM!!!

And you are OFF TO THE RACES!!!

Now – let’s talk about a video.

A video featuring a guy I know very little about, named David Icke.

I don’t know who this guy is. I know almost nothing about him. But I do know this.

After I watched this, I UNDERSTOOD why Silicon Valley is censoring us and why they DO NOT CARE AT ALL WHAT WE THINK ABOUT IT.

So NOW – please watch this. It’s just 10 minutes.

Here is a back-up link to Icke’s own site:

https://www.davidicke.com/article/539582/will-done-2030-featuring-david-icke

What do you think about this?

To me, the most important point is this:

I believe these Silicon Valley people who are censoring us see the world in a completely different way than we do. I believe they no longer actually care what we think.

I am starting to think that they are actually BLIND to many kinds of thought. They have LOST DISCERNMENT.

Their BRAINS have not resisted some process that WE HAVE. Just like Icke describes.

I am reminded of an episode of the New Outer Limits called “Stream of Consciousness”:

https://www.thetvdb.com/series/the-outer-limits-1995/episodes/78006

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_Consciousness_(The_Outer_Limits)

The opening and closing narrations are worth reading.

We quantify our world in order to learn. We break it down into facts, numbers, information. But how far dare we go before we destroy its mystery?

We make tools to extend our abilities, to further our reach, and fulfill our aspirations. But we must never let them define us. For if there is no difference between tool and maker, then who will be left to build the world?

I don’t know the answers to these questions. Nor do I know if, when, or how these questions will be answered. However, I believe that WE have questions that THEY are not even willing to admit are valid questions, much less answer.

Most importantly, I believe that our technological elite lack fundamental moral principles needed to safely do what they are doing. Their moral blind spots are dangerous. The technology they create – with baked-in error – will become dangerous – to itself and everything else.

That’s OK. WE have the Base Designer to fall back on. And we have a FIXER in the White House, too. With God, all FIXES are possible!

The commies are getting very OUT IN THE OPEN now….

Check out RED DIAPER SUE….

More about Natural News getting the boot from their LAST PLATFORM – Facebook…

….and more coverage from Breitbart….

I am rankled by all of this censorship, but oddly, it’s the Natural News ban that just bugs the heck out of me.

This was done because of vaccines. THAT is where the “misinformation” censorship begins.

I’m a bit of a “Ben Carson type” on vaccines. I think they’re awesome, but I really don’t think we’re being HONEST about both the benefits and dangers. We’re not even being honest about the LOGIC of vaccines – how they work – why they work – and how close their powerful mechanism lies to the guts of the machinery.

Vaccines are like guns in a airplane. One of the best ways to take out hijackers. But if you don’t admit that BAD THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN, TOO, you are LYING.

So – for a pro-vaxxer, I’m actually very sympathetic to the other side, and believe that it’s not humane to force people to give vaccines to their children.

This was STANDARD LOGIC AND ETHICS back when I was a kid, in the early days of most vaccines, by the way.

Moreover, I think we have to be hyper-vigilant for the very FIRST sign of trouble in children getting vaccines, and to ASSUME – in an abundance of caution – that this may be some kind of dangerous sensitization. We must make extreme allowances for bad reactions to be taken as a warning sign against continued vaccination. Even if this means we are OVERLY CAUTIOUS.

But that’s not the REAL REASON I care about Health Ranger’s free speech.

This is very personal for me, because Health Ranger – meaning Mike Adams – the Natural News guy – is one of the few people in science that I still respect.

When the whole FBI was clearly lying through its teeth about the Las Vegas massacre, and the Communist Democrats and KGB-CIA were pouring out every kind of LIE and DISINFORMATION, a gadfly skeptic named Mike Adams, whose HOBBY was gunfire acoustic analysis, dared to PROVE (1) that most of the shots actually did come from a location consistent with the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay, BUT (2) many of them DID NOT, and therefore there was a SECOND GUN.

His simple, solid line of evidence was never disproven – only mocked, stonewalled, and shilled against by people who did not approach the incident scientifically and skeptically, as did two misfits of science – Health Ranger and Wolf Moon.

Later, two lines of evidence for a second shooter emerged, fully consistent with both Health Ranger’s distance predictions for the second shooter, and certain witness statements that SEEMED like disinformation, but now made sense. The FBI actually HAS those witness statements, by they way.

One of these lines of evidence was videographic – images of people moving in a predicted sniper location, and at a time (and place) in accord with those witness statements.

The other line of evidence I HAVE NOT REVEALED. It is AWESOME STUFF, too.

Why, you might ask. Simple. There was so much REACTIVE DISINFORMATION by DNC communists, and suppression of evidence by the FBI under Andrew McCabe, that I refused to let injustice get its grubby mitts on the final card proving them all to be LIARS.

I have held onto my discovery like a lost wallet, that can ONLY be returned to its rightful owner, because NOBODY CAN BE TRUSTED.

Someday, I will return that wallet, but not today.

If you wondered WHY I did the horrific task of reading ALL 58 Las Vegas autopsies, then I can reveal that now. I wanted to PROVE OR DISPROVE whether there was a second gunman according to the HR/WM variant of the theory. Alas, the forensic evidence publicly available in the autopsies HINTS slightly toward a second gunman, but does not definitively prove or disprove the idea with the data available to me.

However, I strongly suspect that there is plenty of physical evidence in the autopsies and other evidence to prove a second gunman from a second location.

I believe that any failure to pronounce a second gunman and the probable location is either disinformation for investigative / prosecutorial purposes, or evidence that FBI is too infected to function correctly in this case.

But the bottom line is this.

I am now of the opinion that the Silicon Valley censorship monopolies must be destroyed.

Utterly.

Smashed into a thousand pieces.

Let me recap and see if I have a grasp on the situation:

1) Thread on actual censorship, deplatforming and silencing conservative voices, groups & opinions: 61 comments

2) Open Thread: huge debate on being nice and self censoring, name calling, humor v. growing a thicker skin, etc.: 80+ (as I stopped counting) & 27 comments on this topic on this page so far

Hmmm…priorities??? distractions???

Think about where we are spending our time, our energy and our focus, our combined brain power!

I am not saying I am upset with BakoCarl for starting the debate (or anyone else, for that matter!) or that the topic is unimportant. I happen to agree to an extent in huge part because I think certain name calling is distracting and ineffective. Whether it is nice or not I will leave up to others as my mission is not to be “nice” but to MAGA as I said in my comment on the previous page and name calling or disparaging people on physical characteristics or on being gay/lesbian is a turn off to many and therefore decreases our effectiveness as we loose audience to truth and facts re political candidates and issues.

(https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/06/10/dear-maga-20190610-open-topic/comment-page-1/#comment-170240)

My point is, So much discussion on this topic and not the same on the political enemy and their methods, our choices to counteract and ideas on what we can do. Why!?! What should be our actual focus right now?! We need to spend as much time analyzing, sharing facts, links, researching, synergysing on possible political action as we do sharing our feelings and opinions.

Let’s harness our brainpower and put at least as much time and thought into the censorship being implemented by others as we do on self censorship & appropriate names and criticism for our political opponents.

And Please don’t tell me that I am just being sensitive as I have fibromyalgia and would feel that you are being mean as well as ridiculing and belittling all of those in my condition if you associate negative connotations with sensitivity. 😉

MAGA Mom, June 10, 2019 at 18:56

Now – if I even talk about any of this stuff, to some extent that action falls, MOST IRONICALLY, into what MAGA Mom is talking about. And when I was posting about this stuff earlier – YES – it was exactly what she is talking about.

And LET ME TELL YOU THIS – which REALLY PROVES what she is talking about.

I have been intending for SEVERAL DAYS to talk about the NEXT PHASE OF CENSORSHIP.

I have critical information about this. I tried to do a BIG POST to explain it earlier, and got all kinds of bandwidth problems that made me lose EVERYTHING. I think I ended up calling it “Placeholder Friday” in frustration, publishing a near-empty daily thread.

So I was going to fix it on Monday. But no. I spent all day on a sideshow, much of which was (ironically) MY OWN DOING. Yes. I was – you might say, “Sideshow Wolf”! 😀

HOWEVER, TheseTruths responded by stating something very important which captures why I have wasted my time on stuff I didn’t really want to do:

“So much discussion on this topic and not the same on the political enemy and their methods, our choices to counteract and ideas on what we can do.”

This topic IS about the political enemy and their methods and what we need to do. A number of the posts, including mine, have pointed out that they are trying to suppress our free speech with demands of political correctness and censorship. It doesn’t hurt to be reminded of that and have a heightened awareness so we don’t get inadvertently sucked in to their schemes. That kind of psychological preparedness is part of the battle.

TheseTruths, June 10, 2019 at 20:17

This is exactly correct. We ARE in the censorship fight, and BY GOD, IT’S ON OUR SOIL.

Bluntly, we are taking one on the chin – but we are taking it well. Look at it that way. We have an actual demonstration of how they cannot effectively undermine us, but they CAN get us to undermine ourselves.

This is why I was forced to warn people about how the other side will DESPERATELY try to shut us down, shut us up, and make us ineffective, by influence – EXPERT influence – on individual members. Stuff you will likely not recognize, and may NEVER recognize.

And I will NOT let it happen. So I had to inform you about CRUEL REALITIES OF THIS WORLD.

I had to WARN PEOPLE. Because I know what’s coming, and it’s UGLY.

The other side is spending MILLIONS OF DOLLARS – ON THE GROUND – IN REAL LIFE – to shut our side up. RIGHT NOW. I am literally WATCHING THEM do it. LITERALLY. The White Hats know *exactly* what I’m talking about.

Remember what they did to JIM JORDAN in Ohio? That cost them millions of dollars and ultimately FAILED, but you can bet that a shitload (pardon my French) of money was spent to INFLUENCE PEOPLE to make that happen. Individuals. Influenced, positioned, and manipulated. Using LAWYERS. Expensive LAWYERS.

And lawyers, psychologists, and even rat-bastard communists in beater junkie stake-out cars cost money.

They are doing it now. EVERYWHERE. And some of that money is designated to influence YOU. So think very carefully about what the social media puts in front of you, because THEY THINK ABOUT IT VERY CAREFULLY.

Twitter is so much more than you think it is. The DEVIL is in details of CODE that HIDE from oversight or legal discovery.

Most of it is programmed – automated – but not all of it. When they see a point where the economics of influencing specific people needs a human touch, it gets a human touch.

Here is a TIP. They love to use OLD PEOPLE, SICK PEOPLE, and PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP. Those people are very real, and very deserving of our sympathy and help.

BUT….

Your response makes you PREDICTABLE. And that is all they need.

“Wounded hostage ambush.” I use this analogy all the time, because they use this method all the time.

We are at WAR. So when you go to the hospital, wear an invisible AR-15 on your back. Wear your SPIRIT GUN and watch the fuck out. Because they are watching you.

Now – I close with a VICTORY. We had a big win today.

Not here – but where it COUNTS BIG.

Oh, yeah. This lady was RIGHT.

SO – here is what I’m going to do.

I am going to start working on my censorship post, which CONTINUES the discussion of Daughn’s censorship post. That post should be ready by morning.

We are FIGHTING BACK. And we are fighting back NOW.

  Shavu'ot (in Hebrew)     Shavuot – Feast of Weeks

You shall count for yourselves — from the day after the Shabbat, from the day when you bring the Omer of the waving — seven Shabbats, they shall be complete. Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count, fifty days… You shall convoke on this very day — there shall be a holy convocation for yourselves — you shall do no laborious work; it is an eternal decree in your dwelling places for your generations. – Leviticus 21:15-16, 21

Origin of Shavuot

“Though various Christian denominations commemorate Pentecost, many forget that it was a Jewish holiday before the Church was established. The name Pentecost comes from the Greek word for 50, but the Jewish name is Shavuot (meaning weeks or sevens).” 
Shavuot was a way for our people to offer their best to the Lord. In Exodus, God commands His people: “The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God” (Exodus 23:19a; 34:26). Further instructions regarding this offering of firstfruits (grain) are outlined in Scripture in Deuteronomy 26:1–4:

And it shall be, when you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.[1]

Following the presentation of the firstfruits or “wave loaves,” Jews would recite a prayer of supplication, describing the bondage of their ancestors in Egypt, their deliverance and their dependence on God, who brought them to “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Deuteronomy 26:9).  Read more …

Other Traditions

Shavuot is celebrated by both Traditional and Messianic Jews. Roman Catholics and liturgical Protestant churches both celebrate Pentecost 50 days after Easter Sunday. Following an older traditional calendar, Orthodox Christians celebrate Pentecost with an all night Vigil rich with symbolism. The church in Greece makes it a 3 day party you will want to be aware of if you are traveling to Greece on that weekend.

Think’s Thoughts

Trinity Icon

Considering the deep historical and spiritual meaning for this day, please ponder and think about celebrating our shared values for honoring the scriptures as given to Moses, the prophets, and teachers in the Judeo-Christian traditions.

This was one of three feasts given to the people where they would take their harvest (produce from the land), travel to the temple in Jerusalem, and present it before the Lord.
Just to make sure this picture is complete, remember that their harvest was used in two ways, to feed the family (landowners) that came to present it, and some was distributed to the priests, the fatherless, widows, and temporary residents–those without land to provide for themselves. In this way everyone in the nation was able to use this time to enjoy God’s goodness.
Imagine, if you will, the value of these feasts. Creating a special event creates unity among the members of the family. Making it a vacation from regular work gives them time to rest and restore between seasons. Traveling to Jerusalem strengthens bonds with the rest of the people in their nation. Offering their first fruits focuses their minds and hearts on the appreciation they naturally feel for the gift of abundance, land ownership and freedom from the bondages of the past. Sharing with others who did not have land probably increased their gratitude for the land they now enjoyed.
Starting from the observance of Passover, they would begin the countdown to this extraordinary celebration. After the destruction of the temple, the focus for the Jewish people shifted from the focus of offering the produce of their land to the giving of the Torah. This is a a beautiful tradition where the night is spent reading and giving thanks for the scriptures, especially the book of Ruth. (This tradition is not found in the writings of Moses.)

Pentecost | Greendale People's Church - Worcester
Gift to the Believers in All Nations

It is in this context that the disciples were instructed by Jesus,–after the resurrection, and 10 days before Shavuot–to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father, where they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. As Jews, they knew of the upcoming Shavuot Feast. Devout people from all over were gathering in preparation for it.
I can imagine on this day in that upper room the sounds of travelers greeting and the smells of food being prepared kept their minds on the significance of the time they were in.
In some way, you might see these men and women as the first fruits of the harvest given to Jesus by the Father. Thus, as they pray, Jesus presents them to the Father, who responds by sending fire from Heaven to baptize them.
The sounds from the streets of Jerusalem are replaced with the roaring sound of a rushing wind, the Holy Spirit, and then the loud voices of the believers as they begin to glorify the Lord. They are so loud that people on the streets stop and say, “What is this?” which prompted an explanation that led 3,000 more to believe and join this new community. What an amazing day!

You simply have to watch this video (below). It will change your life. The needless death, chaos and destruction which COMMUNISM ADMITS IT USES – right before your eyes.

And it is about to end.

THIS SHIT WILL NOT STAND.

If this video goes viral – if we let people know that THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS…..

We are going to END THIS SHIT that THEY FOISTED ON US.

But first – some background.

You see, I recently read a few paragraphs from Stalin’s right-hand man, Lavrentiy Beria – the head of his secret police. One of the most horrible, yet proud, humans who ever lived. A rapist, pedophile, murderer, torturer, sadist, and – oh yes – a radical Bolshevik communist.

A PROUD communist – freed by his devil’s ideology to use every evil thing he could imagine. So proud, he BRAGGED of the dirtiest tricks of spreading and locking down communism. TRICKS of which HE was the master.

At that moment, reading those old tricks, and seeing them NOW, everything became clear. WHAT THEY ARE DOING became clear, because Beria SAID IT RIGHT THERE.

He talked about what they are doing and WHY. Stated it right out in the open. And – just like I found – it’s ALL PSYCHOLOGY. Weaponized psychology. The PROUD use of CHAOS as a psychological weapon.

I could SEE the exact parallels across time, from Beria and his historical contemporaries to the Obama henchmen. The RAPISTS like Bill Clinton. The PEDOPHILES like Anthony Weiner and John and Tony Podesta. The SECRET POLICEMEN like Comey and Brennan. The ruthless ideologues like OBAMA, JARRETT and CLINTON.

It all came together.

Beria REVELED in the CHAOS he caused in other states – like Germany and Eastern Europe.

Like other communists are causing in the United States RIGHT NOW.

It IS treason. It really IS treason.

NOW – watch this video, and understand that PELOSI MURDERS are part of that treason.

This happened this morning here in socal. The suspect javier caldera, 25 apparently had a felony evading arrest in november in washington state. Whats he doing in CA? Cartel/illegal? Let me say this….it easily couldve been me and my son.

A pickup driver was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after violently plowing into a car, killing the driver, and causing a multi-vehicle chain reaction traffic collision on the southbound 15 Freeway in Temecula Tuesday, authorities said.

Javier Caldera, 25, of Auburn, Washington, was speeding when his Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck collided into the back of a small Nissan on the freeway, just as traffic was slowing down south of Rancho California Road at around 7:25 a.m., California Highway Patrol said.

Dashcam video posted to YouTube shows the moment the pickup truck quickly came crashing into the back of the Nissan, sending a big cloud of debris into the air.

The car was completely destroyed on impact, with its roof and trunk broken off and the back seats smashed in, video showed.

The Nissan’s driver, a 44-year-old Murrieta woman, died at the scene, authorities said.

The impact from the crash was so powerful, it created a chain reaction effect that involved four other vehicles, including a Chevrolet S-10 Pickup truck that was forced off the roadway onto the Temecula City Hall parking lot where it collided with a structure. The driver, Mike Rivera-Aguilar, 38, sustained major injuries and was transported to a hospital, according to CHP.

Two other people, an Irvine man and a Mississippi man, sustained minor injuries and were transported to a hospital, CHP said.

Caldera was not injured in the crash, authorities said.

From November 2018:

An Auburn man was arrested in Centralia on a felony eluding charge after allegedly leading authorities on a vehicle chase starting somewhere in Thurston County and ending on foot in Centralia.

A Washington State Patrol spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment regarding what prompted the chase.

In Centralia, police were notified at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday of a pursuit heading southbound on Interstate 5. Officers deployed spike strips on the southbound Exit 82 ramp, in case the vehicle’s driver, later identified as Javier Caldera, 25, tried to head into Centralia — which is allegedly what happened, said Centralia Police Department Sgt. Dave Clary.

The vehicle drove over the strips, and blew at least one tire, said Clary, and ended up crashing into a nearby fence on Harrison Avenue. Caldera allegedly left the vehicle and ran away. Officers looked around the area for a couple hours without finding Caldera.

Clary said officers went to businesses in the area and described the suspect to staff members. One eventually spotted Caldera on foot in the area and contacted police. Officers responded and arrested him without further incident.

He was turned over to WSP.

Our Lion, President Donald J. Trump, shows us how to do international friendship.

The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, Part 22, by Rick Joyner

     Before digging deeper into what is happening, and why it is leading to the Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, I will interject a few things that we must do immediately to be prepared for what is unfolding.
     The most important thing we can do to be positioned and prepared for what is unfolding is to find our place in The Lord’s body, the church, and function in it. I have been preaching this for decades, but the longer we wait to do it, the more difficult it will be to do, and the consequences for not doing it will soon be greater. Knowing what is about to happen will not help us if we are not in the right place, doing what we were called and created to do.
     The church is still far from what it is called to be. Great change is needed, and great change is coming. However, those who are waiting for the change to come before they try to be a part of it will be in danger of being in the company of the foolish virgins who waited too long. Those who will play an important role in His body need to be part of the process by which the body becomes what it is called to be.
     To counter the spirit of this world that is bringing the darkness, we must move in an opposite spirit. We must resist the growing hatred by growing in love. We must resist the anxiety and fear by abiding in the peace of God and growing in faith. One of the primary ways we counter the spirit of division growing in the country is to grow in unity with The Lord and His people. It is not possible to be properly joined to The Lord and not also be properly joined to His body.
     A basic requirement to grow in a spirit of unity is learning to resolve disputes in the right spirit. Church is one of the primary places we are called to learn this. Those who leave the church because they got offended are usually the same ones who end up leaving their marriages, jobs, and just about any other commitment when things don’t go as they want. This is the symptom of the “spirit of divorce,” or “spirit of division” that we are warned about in Scripture. We must resolve that we will not let that evil spirit rule our life and thereby ruin our life. We must also resolve that we will not let it rule our country and ruin it.
     Divisions will come, as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians and the Apostle John wrote in I John 2. Sometimes divisions happen even between the best people, such as when Paul and Barnabas had a sharp division and parted ways. However, it is when there is a pattern of division that we must be concerned. This is an indication that one is operating in a “spirit of division.” These are those that Jude addressed: “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 18-19).
     I personally moved in this spirit of division the first few years I was a Christian. I caused many divisions and was guilty of slandering leaders and other Christians. I was often right about my evaluation of the problems, but moved in a spirit that brought division rather than fixed problems. This was mostly because I was moving in a great amount of pride. My repentance started when I was shown that as I did unto the least of The Lord’s little ones, I was doing it to Him. I was then shown that what I was guilty of was far worse than anything those I criticized were guilty of.
     There is a saying that “any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a skillful carpenter to build one.” Have you ever known of a critic that started a revival? Have critics ever built anything of significance? Do you know of any who are celebrated in history? Many that The Scriptures call “fault finders” will have accurate discernment and are right about the wrongs that they see, but they move in a foul spirit that only does harm to the work of God and His people. Jude reminds us that “the deep darkness” has been reserved for them. It would be much better to be wrong about a lot of things than to be a “fault finder.”
     When Jesus saw what was wrong with the world He did not criticize or condemn us—He laid down His life for us. That will be the nature of the true leaders that He sends. As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time for everything. There is a time to build and a time to tear down. The Apostle Paul said that he had the authority to build up or to tear down the Corinthian church. He had the authority to tear down there because he was the one used to plant and build them.
     The point is that it is the builders who have the authority to tear down. It is the builders who have the heart for something, so they have the right heart to know what needs to be torn down. In the transformation that is coming, a lot will be torn down. There is a lot that needs to be torn down. However, we should not try to tear anything down without having a clear vision and a good plan for building in its place.
     The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:9, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment.” “Real knowledge” and “all discernment” will only be found with the one whose love is abounding. For this reason, we will not have the knowledge or discernment that can help the church if we do not love it. Neither will we have the knowledge or discernment that helps our country if we do not love it.
 
I’ve posted Rick’s recent article in full as it seems to be a timely message. I don’t read it to say people need to find a traditional church (as in, an organization with a building) as much as it is saying we need to look around and see who we are developing deep connections with in the context of our whole life, including our faith.
There is a lot about to happen in this season. My prayer is that we will have done the inner work necessary to be able to handle the visible assignments that will be upon us before we can even blink.
