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 †

Afghanistan email update / Paul Washer / HeartCry Missions
Dear Prayer Partners,
We here at HeartCry have been deeply touched by the many messages from you, assuring us of your prayers for Afghan believers and asking for updates. I had the privilege last week of spending a day with ‘Lucas,’ our Afghan missionary, in another country in the region. It was painful to see the heavy burden that he bears as he constantly labors, with very little sleep, to get his friends and fellow servants of Christ to safety. Yet, mingled with pain was great joy to see how God’s Spirit has sustained him, and to hear his firm confidence in the goodness and wisdom of our sovereign God.
He is distressed by others who are carelessly sharing sensitive information online, so please understand that we must protect these precious saints who are extremely vulnerable. There is so much more that we wish we could tell you! I can tell you, so that you may rejoice with us, that the family we specifically asked you to pray for has made it safely across the border. God has truly worked wonders in answer to your prayers! Please continue to pray for them as we work through all the complex logistics of their long-term care.
Please continue to pray for another large group of high-risk believers who are not yet out of the country. And please pray for our dear friends who are working tirelessly to deliver Christ’s sheep from severe danger.

24 September 1966
The Association had their first number one single with “Cherish”. The song had been released in August and within two months would be a million seller, remaining at the top of the US Pop charts for nearly a month. Oddly, it did not do well overseas, perhaps because of poor distribution. Only when the song was re-recorded by David Cassidy in 1971, did “Cherish” become an international hit.

24 September 1983
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certifies ZZ Top‘s seventh album, “Eliminator” as Platinum. The LP reached number 9 on the US album chart and number 3 in the UK.
24 September 1988
The Hollies went to the top of the UK singles chart with “He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother” after the song was used in a UK TV beer commercial. The record was originally a hit for them in 1969.
NATIONAL CHERRIES JUBILEE DAY
On September 24th National Cherries Jubilee Day serves up a tasty dessert. Smitten with this simply elegant dessert, cherry lovers celebrate this sweet holiday with delight.
Auguste Escoffier receives the credit for the Cherries Jubilee recipe. Since he knew Queen Victoria’s fondness for cherries, Escoffier prepared the dish for one of her Jubilee celebrations. However, his original method didn’t include ice cream. Instead, the chef poached the cherries in a simple syrup and poured warm brandy over them. Then just before serving, dramatically set the alcohol aflame.
I was set aflame with cherries jubilee last summer. Flat out on fire. Dramatically burned. Burn unit, still have scars. No offense but bag the flames!!
If you do, use low proof booze and if you catch on fire, don’t be afraid to roll into flames. Yes, this is why I make my own lotions. Scars aren’t pretty.
My daughter declares it Noodle Salad day :D. No more flaming food in our house!
Sometimes you get the dog. But, then, sometimes the dog gets you . . .

I loved that story when I saw it a while back. Here’s another really wonderful Steve Hartman story. This boy is an absolute old soul.
This is a wonderful story, Sarah. Thanks for posting. 🙂
Thinking of “today”, thinking of “now”:
2 Cor. 6:2 (cf. Isaiah 49:8)
“For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Hebrews 3:15a (cf. Psalms 95:7-8)
“As it has been said: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”
Revelation 22:17 (cf. Isaiah 55:1)
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.”
Thinking of why:
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.”
Thinking of how:
Luke 18:13
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
James 4:8a
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
John 6:28-29
“Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.””
Mark 9:24b
“‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.'”
Acts 16:30-31
“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””
The Aussie Gestapo, and now the Swiss authorities for goodness sake could use a mega dose of Isaiah today.
What happens hen reality bites.
Hartman does so many great pieces, and this one is no exception! And it’s amazing how well the video footage is edited. They tell such a rich story in just 3 minutes.

Please save and repost this image of the Bellwether Counties that voted against history.
Just a simple Excel that shows how the historical record of Bellwether voting proves the 2020 election as rigged.
I did a reverse image search on this moments ago, only 1 hit, from a wordpress “debunking” it. To my mind that means this image is being actively suppressed.
Save the image. I verified the top 3 rows, and the right 3 columns. It took forever so I got no further. Bottom line is I proved to myself that this is completely legit.
Please help me prevent this image going the way of Fahrenheit 451.

THE “GO” OF PREPARATION
“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there thou rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Matthew v. 23, 24
It is easy to imagine that we will get to a place where we are complete and ready, but preparation is not suddenly accomplished, it is a process steadily maintained. It is dangerous to get into a settled state of experience. It is preparation AND preparation.
The sense of sacrifice appeals readily to a young Christian. Humanly speaking, the one thing that attracts to Jesus Christ is our sense of the heroic, and the scrutiny of Our Lord’s words suddenly brings this tide of enthusiasm to the test. “First be reconciled to thy brother.” The “go” of preparation is to let the word of God scrutinize. The sense of heroic sacrifice is not good enough. The thing the Holy Spirit is detecting in you is the disposition that will never work in His service. No one but God can detect that disposition in you. Have you anything to hide from God? If you have, then let God search you with His light. If there is sin, CONFESS it, not ADMIT it. Are you willing to obey your Lord and Master whatever the humiliation to your right to yourself may be?
Never discard a conviction. If it is important enough for the Spirit of God to have brought it to your mind, it is a thing He is detecting. You were looking for a great thing to give up. God is telling you of some tiny thing; but at the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself – the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Mornin’ infidels.
I have just sent a letter pleading with the SUNY college my daughter Chloe attends trying to get some sort of exemption from the covid vaccine mandate. If you have time this morning please consider praying for us. I am so worried I cannot sleep or eat. Thank you.

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.
From a 9/23/21 Telegram by AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem:
“Audit Results Explained :
Imagine you deposit 1 million dollars into the bank, but 100k worth of it was fake money.
The bank will count the deposit and confirm you gave them 1 million dollars.
Finally the bank will check each bill and discover that 100,000 dollars of the money deposited was counterfeit.
You do not get to keep 1 million dollars.
You get to keep 900 thousand dollars.
Guess what?
You also get a quick trip to jail.”
Coral Reefs.
Various “scientists” and politicians keep claiming the Great Barrier Reef off Australia is dying. They claim that CO2 emissions are causing the problem. First off there is no problem. All sections of the reef are growing as per the Australian Governments own numbers! Secondly, hard corals actually need CO2 to survive and thrive because their hard casings are made up of Calcium Carbonate, the source of which is CO2.
In southeastern Indiana, pretty much due west of Cincinnati is a Versailles State Park. It is a park I camped at several times as a kid and have visited a couple times since. Along a stream bed large portions of punky limestone has been exposed by erosion. That limestone was created during the Ordovician and Silurian periods between 410 to 500 million years ago Here’s a better graph of CO2 and temperature for the last 600 million years! | by G Horner | Medium when the land we now call Indiana was located near the equator and covered by a shallow sea. That limestone is full of coral, Brachiopod, Cephalopod, and sponge fossils. They are so abundant you cannot stand among those rocks and not see fossils everywhere. During the time those animals lived and thrived atmospheric CO2 levels ran between 4,500 and 3,000 ppm.
Now, that land is between 800 and 900 feet above sea level. As sea levels rise and fall the reefs move with them as the Coral spore only prosper where conditions are right. 20,000 years ago sea levels were about 400 feet lower than they are now. The corals off Australia then simply grew at the depth where they could prosper though now of course only their dead remains indicated where the reef was back then.
The Windy fire in CA is now about 15 miles due east of my house up in the foothills. The smoke here in Porterville is so bad it’s hard to breathe. The Air Quality Index stands at 366 which is defined as Hazardous.
You can’t see more than about 1/4 mile because of the smoke. Ash is falling continually coating everything.
The little foothill communities are being evacuated. Please pray for all the people and their livestock (horses, cattle, sheep, etc) as they frantically try to get them out of the area.
Never in my life (not young) have I seen anything like this. The smell is awful.
The fire is now down into the Tule River Indian reservation – about a 15 minute drive east of my house.
Please pray for all the wildlife, too.
If the smoke and ask is coming your way then the fire is coming your way. Any barrier between you and it? If not, then I hope your preparing for the worst. God Bless.
I live about 1.5 miles west of the foothills out in the San Joaquin Valley. There are no ‘barriers’ between me and the fire but the fire is in the foothills/lower mountains. Between me and the advancing fire are many acres of citrus groves which are hard to burn unless they are dead and dry. I guess I consider the groves to be the barrier.
I do admit it is a little worrisome but I don’t think the fire will come out into the valley. Thankfully today there is not even a whisper of wind here in the valley.
The Left has known for years their forest management DELIBERATE NEGLECT would result in these fires. This is planned. The goal is to destroy the lives of rural Real Americans.
More crimes against humanity by The Left.
The courtrooms in Nuremburg will be bustling with the trials when we take our country back.
Prayers. Do you think lack of forest management is the cause?
Absolutely. Until about 10 years or so ago people could go up into the foothills/mountains and collect firewood. You could only collect dead wood. Many, many people used to do that each year. That has now been banned.
There used to be several local saw mills that cut the trees up in the mountains. They also cleared roads which made good fire breaks. The environmentalists made sure they were shut down.
So now all the dead wood builds up. When the fires come (usually by lightening in the summer here) they now burn far hotter and do much more damage.
It’s really very sad. The lack of forest management is intentional. They (Newsome etal) try to blame it on global warming.
Although Hurricane SAM is going to strengthen into a major it is not likely to hit the Leeward Islands. Bermuda had better be keeping a sharp eye out though.
THe View hosts test positive. No masks put on immediately? No ‘go straight to quarantine,’ or immediately go to your primary care doc? What steps were taken to protect the hair, makeup, sound, and other production crew?
Oh yeah, those folks have to wear 3 masks, provide proof of vax and hourly testing with the anal swab just to get into the building. ‘Trust the science,’ they say . . . . . .
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.
Again. Thank you for your music recommendations! They have been greatly appreciated and needed.
I use them to go to sleep. By concentrating on the music, politics goes away.
