Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The Stars Of Messiah’s Reign
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever” (Dan.12:3).
The day is coming when redeemed Israel and all the saints of the Old Testament times will taste the joy of Messiah’s glorious reign. But some — the wise — will be honored more than others and will shine in that day as the stars of the firmament.
Who are these “wise” ones? Our text answers: “They that turn many to righteousness”. Not those who merely knew all the technicalities of the prophetic program, but remained unmoved, but those who, understanding the prophetic plan and recognizing that God must judge sin, did something about it and labored to turn many to righteousness.
These will be the stars of Messiah’s reign.
What a lesson this passage holds for us who have trusted Christ as our Saviour in this present “dispensation of grace”!
When we stand before the Lord, all saved by His abundant grace, not all will be equally honored. Outshining the rest will be “the wise”, who, understanding God’s message and program of grace and, “buying up the time because the days are evil” (Eph.5:16), URGED THE LOST TO ACCEPT “the gift of righteousness”by faith in Christ. Of these we may well say by way of adaption:
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Hope to be around for this!

Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
The 50th Psalm Septuagint (Psalm 51 KJV).
The Great Lenten Prayer of Saint Ephraim of Syria (+ 373)
“O Lord and Master of my life, . . . .”
This Prayer of Saint Ephraim of Syria is generally a weekday prayer during Great Lent, or the Fast, which continues in the Orthodox Christian Church. (Some people will pray the full prayer throughout the year.)
The Lord’s Pascha, the Resurrection, will be celebrated in four weeks.
The Paschalion and Church Calendar that were adopted by the Bishops of the Christian Church at the First Œcumenical Synod in Nicæa in 330, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, was used by all of Christendom until a few centuries ago.
THE COLLISION OF GOD AND SIN
“Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree.” 1 Peter ii. 24
The Cross of Jesus is the revelation of God’s judgment on sin. Never tolerate the idea of martyrdom about the Cross of Jesus Christ. The Cross was a superb triumph in which the foundations of hell were shaken. There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross: He switched the whole of the human race back into a right relationship with God. He made Redemption the basis of human life, that is, He made a way for every son of man to get into communion with God.
The Cross did not HAPPEN to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” The whole meaning of the Incarnation is the Cross. Beware of separating GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH from THE SON BECOMING SIN. The Incarnation was for the purpose of Redemption. God became incarnate for the purpose of putting away sin; not for the purpose of Self-realization. The Cross is the centre of Time and of Eternity, the answer to the enigmas of both.
The Cross is not the cross of a man but the Cross of God, and the Cross of God can never be realized in human experience. The Cross is the exhibition of the nature of God, the gateway whereby any individual of the human race can enter into union with God. When we get to the Cross, we do not go through it; we abide in the life to which the Cross is the gateway.
The centre of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much. The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merge with a crash and the way to life is opened – but the crash is on the heart of God.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXX – Jesus Led Out to be Crucified
30:1
As the sentence was passed, and Jesus was being led out to be scourged, the vail that had for a brief period concealed the inhabitants of the regions of death from our view, was removed, and again the arch-demon and his host appeared. Then he raised his hand, from which issued a broad sheet of sulphuric flame that moved and flashed like unto a banner over the vaults below. Upon it was written, “Victory to Apollyon. This day I have prevailed with men, and they have condemned the innocent.” Then I heard ten thousand hoarse sepulchral voices saying, “Hail, thou Prince of Darkness, all hail! Thou hast prevailed, and man shall feel the sting of death. Go up to victory! Go ye up; for lo! we arise from our nether abode and witness the God-Man as he shall writhe beneath the scorpion lash and agonize upon the Roman Cross.” “Ah-ha, ah-ha!” arose in swelling volumes from the demoniac abodes below, and the air was rent with the loud acclaim uniting with the infernal chant from the mad populace that rushed to the scene of cruelty.
“And is it not enough?” cried a voice in manifestation of deep lamentation, “O Justice! Art thou inexorable? Is not the ransom made perfect? Must we endure the scene? Shall the innocent suffer at the hands of sinners longer? Spare, O spare! Lo! his back is torn with lashes! His temples bleed! His form trembles beneath the heavy burden! He groans in Spirit! Must the power of evil prevail? Lo! Satan and his legions shout in hellish jubilee over the victory, that victory which condemns Jesus the innocent to the hands of sinners, the crown of thorns, the lash, and -mourn, all ye heavens! –to the ignominious and rugged cross, the engine of the most cruel inflictions.!”
Then Justice answered, “He entereth into suffering with the fallen race, and endureth until the time appointed. His life is not taken, but he giveth it for many; and although Satan triumph for a season, the strong man armed shall enter his abode.”
“Arise, thou Conqueror, arise, and set the captives free! Make bare thine arm and save!” “Spare the cruel scourging!” cried another voice, and again all the angelic bands and the infants and their guardians in the Paradise vailed their faces, and silence prevailed.
The mournful silence of the moment could not fail to deeply impress the great truth intended by the scene. No one witnessing could refrain from the most deep and affecting meditations. The suspense continued until every being was absorbed and pervaded by its influence.
To be continued…
VAXXED OUT: AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. HOOMAN NOORCHASHM

Good morning all. Nice morning here in Eastern PA. Completed my morning routine and will be hitting the road shortly.
After delivering in NJ I cross back over the river to pickup my back haul at Pepsi in Philly. I take that load back to the yard.
Mornin Rah. You’re up and at it early.
I could go for a long road trip about now. No where in particular, just feel like hitting the road for awhile. Alas, responsibilities keeping me home bound.
Vaya con Dios…………..
Thank you for all you share.
Verse of the Day for Tuesday, April 6, 2021

“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”
Psalms 125:3 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

Wonderful, thank you.
Mike Lindell is about to release another documentary entitled Scientific Proof that dovetails amazingly with the evidence in the first.
https://lindelltv.com
Here, he interviews internationally renowned physicist Douglas G. Frank. It’s worth hearing, all 55 minutes! This is big, and there is something we can do to really clean up the voter roles.
Dr. Frank stakes his reputation on Dominion rigging the election using 2010 Census data. The algorithm used population data from 10 years ago to derive “registrations,” so you can see how people who died or moved away 10 years ago could be used to create fake voters. There is a characteristic shape of the 2010 Census data that makes it statistically impossible that Dominion and others did not use this data in their fraud.
This proof is so damning we don’t even need the cooperation of Dominion to get a peek at their machines and software!
Here is what WE CAN DO:
Dr. Frank checked his work by asking people to door knock all the seldom-voters in a county. They found 32 percent fraudulent votes! We can do this in every county.
We have to take action. It’s just targeted door-knocking, we know how to do that. If the election officials balk, just say, “I’m so glad to hear you say (whatever they say)! We are going to prove you right, or we are going to do some very badly needed correction.”
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
– Proverbs 16:9
Fine Art Tuesday:
John Grimshaw, Wintery Moon, 1886.
From Ol’ Remus (his archives):
“1939. Toppenish, Washington
“Toppenish is a town in Yakima County with a population of about 3,600 in 1939. The Mom is hiding her face, not uncommon when the family’s lot was at its lowest ebb and an FSA photographer drove up and treated them as specimens to be inspected at will. Aside from all that, think about what “hard times” used to mean when you say “I’m hungry” every time your appetite gives you a tickle or when you think you’re roughing it because your car air conditioning conked out.”
Sam. Forb a few minutes you feel so sorry for the people in this picture. I’m sure they had such difficult choices to make. In hindsight I guess they realized it made them better for it.
I lived in Ecuador for 3 years while my wife studied. We had hardly any money. A treat for us was to walk over to the mall for a donut.
The kids didn’t expect anything back then. They knew we just didn’t have the money. I always imagined in those times about how nice it would be when we returned to Canada and made decent money. Well, here we are and guess what. We still want more. Kids want more, I want more. Now my wife and I look back with fondness when we think of our meager lives in Ecuador.
Thanks so much for posting this. Puts life in perspective again. We have it so good and we are so unthankful.

I miss ol’ Remus. RIP.
Me too. Tuesdays have not been the same since.
Appointment to deliver was 10:30. Truck that had the 06:00 appointment just departed at 10:50! Two trucks in front of me.
Probably won’t be at my pickup at Pepsi in Philly until 14:00 or later.
Will have to beat my way out of the city during rush hour. Pop loads are always heavy. Hope it’s just empty cans.
Anyway, it’s going to be a long day!
This kind of stuff is a big part of why I like the salary job. It all pays the same. And
Hurry up and wait. (for rush hour)
Been there, done that.
Rah, I have a friend (o/o) who has been pulling coke loads out of L.A. up to the Pacific NW. Sez, their getting a “Terrific” rate. (150%) or better than normal. Sez, coke is desperate for trucks.
Wonder why?
Hope you have an automatic (for the sake of your left knee…)
I got a green light…
Gotta get…
You be safe goin that-a-way.
It’s an auto but I drove an Eaton Fuller 10 for more than a year OTR and know what you mean.
Rah. Juggling all that garbage plus maintaining a legal log book is sheer insanity. I wish the whole log book idea would get scrapped. Let the drivers run until it makes sense to stop and then at least they get a decent sleep. They have regulated safety right out of the trucking industry.
God bless you on the road. I always dropped the seat right to the floor and kicked the boots off and locked the cruise control on. Hard now because rush hour traffic has turned into all day traffic it seems. You need some Buck Owens music to see youb through.

For rah . . . There’s a good article on today’s Federalist site about the destroyer USS Johnson’s fight in the Battle of Layte Gulf in WWII. The Johnson, and a few destroyers and destroyer escorts took on the entire Japanese center fleet in one of the most epic battles of the war.
Here’s a description of the Japanese destroyer saluting as he passed the sinking Johnson.
“Undeterred,” the National WWII Museum recounts, “Captain Evans ordered his small ship back into the fray and for a period of over 60 minutes, engaged at least eight enemy ships before his destroyer was fatally struck by enemy gunfire.” Dead in the water, the Imperial Navy surrounded her, pummeling the ship faster than her crew could repair her and forcing the grievously wounded captain to give the dreaded order to abandon ship. As the crew headed into the sea and the Johnston went down, survivors remember the captain of the passing Japanese destroyer saluting the brave Americans.
The Japanese fleet was 4 battleships, 11 destroyers, six heavy cruisers, and two light cruisers.
A single turret on the Japanese super battleship Yamato weighed more than the Johnson fully loaded.
Taffy 3s escorts defense is the naval version of the charge of the Light Brigade or the Charge of the 1st Minnesota on the 2nd day at Gettysburg to keep the wild men from Mississippi from breaking the Union line.
I believe GH is talking about the USS Johnston, DD557, a Fletcher Class destroyer.
I don’t think there ever was a USS Johnson.
But then again, I was in the infantry……………………….
You’re right. The ship was USS Johnston. The Federalist article says they found the ship . . . 20,000 feet deep.
I believe GH is talking about the USS Johnston, DD557, a Fletcher Class destroyer.
I don’t think there ever was a USS Johnson.
But then again, I was in the infantry……………………….
Just backed in the door at 13:50 and they haven’t started unloading me yet.
The cold, it is a coming for those of us in the central and eastern US.
Central Europe having record cold right now.
Atmospheric CO2 level dropping because of the weak LaNina. ESO forecast is for LaNina to weaken and then come back stronger later this year,
update on my 14 year old grandson in boise, idaho. second somali arrested this morning. currently sitting in jail awaiting the ACLU to spring him.
March 18 grandson was kidnapped, beaten and robbed by three somalis in a BMW. He had all his chore money on him.
Main problem is paternal grandparents members of Episcopal diocese which brought the Somalis to boise in first place.
If the Somali’s do not have a valid ID, take them to the southern border and HURL THEIR A$$E$ over the wall.
Such acts should invalidate their status and earn deportation.
Or cause physical retribution such as Islamic law provides for, eye for eye, etc.
Well after all the worry I got here at Pepsi at 16:09.and guess what? I’m sitting out on the road outside the entrance behind two trucks that are ahead of me to get loaded! They’ll call me when they’re ready for me.
New shooter. E4 Navy Corpsman, “Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet.” They don’t say what his description is but a search for the strange last name shows it’s predominantly Ethiopian.
People predicted there would be a spree of shootings and I didn’t want them to be right but they were.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen…
