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 †

That verse always stirred me the most. It was deeply personal to the poet.
They could WRITE in those days.
200 Character Twitter is robbing us of our hearts and spirits as well as brain cells.
Twitter was never intended to be anything other than that which it has become: a method to enable, spread and “deify” man-think.
Relatively few use it to glorify God and spread His Word. Twitter is a tool of this world to keep men focused on themselves and worldly ideas.
Thank you Lord.
I think my greatest joy and simultaneously my continual sorrow, is that I know the bone crushing joy of salvation, and yet, I’ve made so little headway in properly reflecting Him, or heralding Him to friends and family.
I understand Paul and the hymn writer.
Great post! ??✝️
Frank,
Watch for a special strengthening post this Saturday, God willing!
You’re not alone Brother.

Luv it!
Turn it up. Oh, to have been there when this was performed!!! 🙂
Head phones on.

AWESOME.
Humans MOVE to music.
Should that tell us something about where we came from?

One of my all time favorite classical pieces… it so clearly sounds like the river… flowing along it’s path.. over rocks, through eddies… and finally out to sea. Close your eyes and it is as if you are on a raft traveling the length of the mighty Moldau River.
🙂
I bet this is where the composer of “Hatikvah” got his melody from.
A poetically rich composition obviously written by a homelander in love with his native country.
For those unfamiliar with this piece here is a very good but brief synopsis of the underlying imagery it conveys:

This is a pretty important message with a emphatic plea to pay attention. This doesn’t only apply to regular followers of GF&G but to everyone who is engaging in lawless behavior. Separating the goats from the Sheep!
Powerful stuff
“read Mathew 25 and ask: “who are you?”
Too late at night for back and forth, bed time, so this will have to be a drive by—very uncool of me?!
1. “They don’t care about others.” “They only care about themselves.”
2. “90-95% of Evangelical Christians will be goats.”
1. Jesus says give your alms in secret. Making judgements about who is giving and doing what is problematical.
2. These kinds of very confident pronouncements always reminds me to tell myself: “Who are you to judge the servant of another? Before his own master he stands or falls; and stand he will for God is able to make him stand.”
He’d have been more effective with me if he couched it FIRST “Who are YOU helping?” “Are YOU?”
Or better still, “Who are WE?” Or “who am I?”
rather than start with, They, They, They.
Might just be his Homiletical Style, but the sourness of it didn’t encourage me to take a bigger bite.
“He’d have been more effective with me if he couched it FIRST “Who are YOU helping?” “Are YOU?” Or better still, “Who are WE?” Or “who am I?” rather than start with, They, They, They.”
I don’t get caught up on the semantics part because I know who Pastor Gifford is and I have heard him admitting he is a sinner, a hypocrite and is bound to make mistakes and his Trumpet call, is what his mission is. He is walking the walk and backs up what he advocates for. I agree with you though, however he is not beyond approach and he certainly would welcome your criticism.
Why is it so hard for so many Christians to just DO what they so emphatically believe Jesus was, did, and came for?? The great outpouring of the heart by Paul, witnessing to the world the POWER of the transformation of Saul-Paul. What do people believe the holy spirit revealed to Paul to so dramatically change his life, to manifest in the world the best example of what he as a man could possibly emulate – to LIVE as the Christ – surely he could only have seen the TRUTH.
The pastor speaks the truth on these matters – IMO. I cant believe that it’s not perfectly obvious – and by the way, the people have every right and duty to protect themselves – according to Gods Laws.
This was also in the same thread of meditation for me and will be in the coming weeks and months ahead.
Know who the false prophets are.
Great discussion here
Today if they label themselves “Apostle” this or “Saint” that they most definitely are not.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ??
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
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 WAY TO KNOW
“If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine…” John vii. 17
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience. If things are dark to me, then I may be sure there is something I will not do. Intellectual darkness comes through ignorance; spiritual darkness comes because of something I do not intend to obey.
No man ever receives a word from God without instantly being put to the test over it. We disobey and then wonder why we don’t go on spiritually. ‘If when you come to the altar,’ said Jesus, ‘there you remember your brother hath ought against you…don’t say another word to Me, but first go and put that thing right.’ The teaching of Jesus hits us where we live. We cannot stand as humbugs before Him for one second. He educates us down to the scruple. The Spirit of God unearths the spirit of self-vindication; He makes us sensitive to things we never thought of before.
When Jesus brings a thing home by His word, don’t shirk it. If you do, you will become a religious humbug. Watch the things you shrug your shoulders over, and you will know why you do not go on spiritually. FIRST GO – at the risk of being thought fanatical you must obey what God tells you.

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.

2021 – THE YEAR THE FOUNDING FATHERS VISION IS TO BE RESTORED!
On January 5, 2021, I wrote this article for the Marshall Report. I am reposting it here for people to see again, that the Founding Fathers Project that President Trump had initiated and Biden Administration took down immediately following their theft of the government. Whoever was behind the man they said was President that is. For the man is obviously either doped up, been replaced with a double, or suffers terribly from dementia. We have had a full force of people who would like people to believe George Washington was an Illuminati member who plotted from the beginning to hand over the colonies to the Crown…a pitiful arguement at best for it was already under the rule of Great Britain and would make no sense to rebel against the crown to go back under the crown to secure the crown for the crown. What would be the point?

Among the many Saints and Holy Martyrs who are commemorated today are these:
Holy Apostle Aquila of the Seventy and Saint Priscilla (+ 1st century)

Saint Joseph the Confessor, Archbishop of Thessaloniki (+ 832)
Saint Nikodemos the Hagiorite of Mount Athos (+ 1809)
I don’t know how many Treepers follow Dahboo77’s videos on youtube.
His latest is rather eye-opening.
I believe it is better to be forewarned of potential/developing crises instead of being caught by surprise…
Well. I’m home. Put the loaded trailer in the door at the Vandalia, OH terminal and grabbed and empty out of door 92 there and came home.
Now eating a piece of Chocolate Swirl cake my lady baked yesterday.
Tomorrow at 05:30 I am supposed to depart with a Nestle’s refer load for Giant Foods in Carlisle, PA. Be the first refer load I have pulled in about a year. One almost always has to weigh these loads. They’re always heavy.
Giant Foods has a bull pen before the gate where one parks until the appointed time they get unloaded. There I will take my 10 hour break because my appointment time is 05:30 Thursday morning. After being unloaded I will put the heat on in the trailer to dry out the condensation because I then run up and do the Phillipsburg, Ridgeway run again picking up components for auto parts, that I just got back from.
Since the distance from Carlisle to Phillipsburg is considerably shorter, if Giant Foods treats me right and doesn’t leave me sitting in the door for hours to get unloaded I should be able to get to Vandalia and possibly home Thursday night; If not, then it will be my third week in a row with a day of overtime.
Larry Elder for Governor of California
California has a huge Governor recall election coming up in mid September. Whether you are a democrat or a republican, everyone must be convinced to vote for Larry Elder.
Larry Elder will manage the Covid crisis in California much better than the current governor as he won’t be needlessly closing down businesses and crushing the middle class.
He will also follow the real science and not the political science when it comes to masks, vaccine passports, and other mandates.
We have all seen what a difference a Governor can make with regards to vaccine passports in Florida. These vaccine passports can be blocked by a Governor and we need that here done here in California.
Save yourself, save the California, and ask everyone you know who lives in California to please vote for Larry Elder.
I know many of you have written off California but there are many conservatives here that need to be saved. Help us to get this message out.
Miracles can and do happen in politics.
Larry is as smart as a whip, tough as boot leather.
Serious stuff.

Dr. Charles Hoffe issues Vaccine warning… Deep dive on endothelial damage to blood vessels…Posted by Kane on July 27, 2021 10:56 am
NEWS JUNKIES — CHECK OUT OUR HOMEPAGE
Dr. Charles Hoffe discusses the D Dimer test and Vaccine patients
But here’s where the problem comes. In a virus, in a Coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words, the cell wall around the virus, called the viral capsule. But it’s not in the virus. It’s in your cells. So it therefore becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. Which means that these cells that line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that blood flows smoothly, now have these little spikey bits sticking out.
So it is absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form. Because your blood platelets circulate around in your blood vessels. And the purpose of blood platelets is to detect a damaged vessel and block that vessel to stop bleeding. So when the platelet comes through the capillary, it suddenly hits all these all these Covid spikes that are jutting into the inside of the vessel, it is absolutely inevitable that a blood clot will form to block that vessel. That’s how platelets work.
So….just as [inaudible] is absolutely predicted to cause cancer because it is full of carcinogens, these spike proteins will predictably cause blood clots because [inaudible] they are in your blood vessels. Dr. Bhakdi then said to me the way to prove this is that we need to do a blood test called a D-dimer test, um..to find out of this is really happening. So…the problem with…the blood clots we hear about through the media, that they claim are very rare are the big blood clots. These are the ones that cause strokes and clots in your brain…those are the ones that show up on CT-scans and Angiograms and MRIs. The clots I am talking about are microscopic. These are tiny…they are literally on a capillary level and they are scattered throughout your capillary network. They are not going to show on any scan. They are just too small and too scattered. So the only way to find out for sure if this predictable mechanism of clotting was actually happening was to do this blood test called a D-dimer. And so the D-dimer is a blood test that shows a recent blood clot. It doesn’t show anything else other than a recent blood clot. It won’t show an old blood clot. It only shows new blood clots. And so I have been now doing that on my patients…um finding people who have recently had their Covid shot within the previous seven days…it needs to be between 4 and 7 days, and doing a blood test on them called a D-dimer.
And so I am still trying to accumulate more information. But on the ones I have so far, 62% of them have evidence of clotting. Which means that these blood clots are not rare. It means the majority of people are getting blood clots that they have no idea that they are having. So Laura Lynn, the most alarming thing about this is that there are some parts of your body like your heart and your brain, and your spinal cord and your lungs, which cannot regenerate. When those tissues are damaged by blocked vessels they are permanently damaged. So I now have 6 people in my Medical practice with reduced Effort Tolerance, which means that they just get out of breath more easily than they used to. I have one fellow that used to walk to my office every week for actually for an arthritis injection and told me that he could walk two miles without any problems, and now after a quarter of a mile he is absolutely out of breath and it has been like that for five months.
So on the basis of this D-dimer test which proves that the majority of people are clotting, these six people who now have Reduced Effort Tolerance, actually what has happened to them is that they have plugged up thousands of tiny capillaries in their lungs. And the terrifying thing about this is not just that these people are short of breath and they can’t do what they used to be able to do. But once you block off a significant number of blood vessels to your lungs, your heart is now pumping against a much greater resistance to try and get the blood through your lungs. And the problem….so that causes a condition called Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.
It’s actually like high blood pressure in your lungs because the blood can’t get through because so many of the vessels are blocked. And the terrifying thing of this is that people with Pulmonary Artery Hypertension usually die of right sided heart failure within three years. So the huge concern about the mechanism of injury is that these shots are causing permanent damage. And the worse is yet to come. Because, you know, there are some tissues in your body like the intestine, liver and kidney that can regenerate to quite a good degree but brain, and spinal cord, and heart muscle and lungs do not. When they are damaged, its permanent. Like all these young people who are now getting Myocarditis from these shots, they have permanently damaged hearts.
It occurred to me today that the autophagy one experiences during fasting, which allows one’s cells to suspend addressing the endless stream of calories we typically consume and to turn to maintenance activities to include the removal of oddball proteins, might be of benefit to the vaccinated, even to the unvaccinated exposed to shedding.
It’s all about that damned spike.

Ops Check Good!
You have seen me post information from Joe Bastardi and his weatherbell team here several times.
Joe is an outstanding meteorologist. But I think he is also an outstanding human being.
Though I am not on Facebook, a friend of mine who is sent this Joe Bastardi post to me.
“Been watching gymnastics for 30 years now and I think womens gymnastics is about as tough a test as anyone can face. I watched my wife when she coached and now a daughter. While wrestling can take the focus off you against you aspect cause you got someone across from you that you have to be concerned with, a visible opponent, the focus in a sport like gymnastics is the expectation of self. This gets really hard if you are nearing limits that whether true or not, are in your mind. But there is a great spiritual lesson involved. It involves learning about the fact that only when confronting one’s weakness can you learn about the strength of God that can carry you by that. Focus on self will reveal self-limitations and when you are near the extreme of where you think you can be, then you go no further. And it’s much easier to fall 10 feet than to climb the last inch. That is the nature of destructive interference in anything. The more extreme something is, the more it is ready to collapse. So what is the answer? Is there an answer? Each one of us has our own journey, but what I have found for me is that all I thought was mine was never mine, but Gods for me to use the way I saw fit. Now he gave me a choice, do I use it to get closer to him or use it to elevate Joe. I can safely say most of my life has been the latter, always trying to overcome some enemy real or imagined, to elevate self. So Did I make the best use of it, No. Why? Because I thought it was mine. If you own it, it owns you, so down you go protecting it rather than swinging away using it for the true intent of gratitude toward your heavenly father in an effort to get closer. And so someone gets blamed , be it a coach, yourself, or even God himself. But deep down inside, its always our choice as to where we want our focus. In the end, though the free will to do what you were made to do can only be tested when the baggage of self is removed. And the further you climb the heavier that will get. Unless you are focused on a power bigger than you, Just an opinion as my heart is heavy for what I saw with Simone Biles”
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.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Remember, the violent left tried to physically attack President Trump. The violent left attacked and injured many Secret Service officers. They tried to assault the White House. They tried to burn down the 206 year old St. John’s church.
Why do we never hear about those crimes? Who was arrested and tried, if anyone?
Thank you Sundance, and all the Moderators for this wonderful site; without the ability to comment on all the different topics that have arisen since your beginning, I’m pretty sure both my heart and head would have exploded years ago!
Hopefully, soon, once finished with this task of putting both feet back under me I am anxious to be in a position to join with others who regularly hit that donation button. I just never thought the climb was going to be so steep, thankfully am seeing the sunlight close to the horizon and was reflecting today on just how important being able to come here, read, digest, comment and catch my breath from the safety of a tiny limb in this wonderful Treehouse has meant, this is an oasis of sanity; and simply wanted to say
Thank you.
Pert sure I’d’ve lost my mind long ago without the Treehouse!
