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 †

Heartland
(Spoken)
Out of the mists of Time it comes
Older than the oldest rhyme it comes
Coursing through our veins it comes
Pulsing in our brains it comes
Crashing like a thunder roll
Echoing in our very soul
Listen for it as it comes
The pure, unbridled sound of drums
(Spoken end)
Hear our hymn from the heartland
Hear our prayer
Steer us through stormy waters
Lead us there…
When the storm is raging
And thunder rolls
Deliver us from the ocean
Save our souls
(Irish Gaelic chorus)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
When the winds are howling
Vigil keep
Shelter us and save us
From the deep
(Irish Gaelic chorus)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)

Safe to shore
Be our strength and protection
Ever more

A Watchman For Israel And The Apostle Of Grace
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“…I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me” (Ezek.33:7).
The Prophet Ezekiel was appointed by God as a “watchman” over the house of Israel. He was held responsible to warn the wicked from their way, for while God must deal justly with sin, He had declared: “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live” (Verse 11).
If Ezekiel failed to warn the wicked they would die in their sins, but their blood would be required at his hand. If he faithfully warned them, however, and they refused to heed the warning, they would die in their sins, but he would be absolved of all responsibility (See Verses 8 and 9).
Would some Christian reader remind us that we are living under another dispensation and that our message is one of grace? True enough, but this does not diminish, it increases our responsibility toward the lost.
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (ICor.14:8).
If we believers carelessly allow the lost to go to Christless graves, are we not morally responsible for their doom? Will we not be held accountable at the Judgment Seat of Christ? (See II Corinthians 5:10,11). This is why we find Paul reminding the Ephesian elders that he had not ceased to “warn” men “night and day with tears” (Acts 20:31).
As the apostle looked back over his ministry among the Ephesians he could say: “I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men” (Verse 26). And this had been so of his ministry in general. Indeed, it was now his desire that whatever the cost, he “might finish his course with joy, and the ministry which he had received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God” (Verse 24).
May Ezekiel, and the Apostle Paul, that great warrior for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, be memorials to us — of our great responsibility toward the lost!

Ezekiel 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 ¶ Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
2Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Acts 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Tonight I’d like to share two selections from different performers, Emmy Lou and Allison Krauss. Both are performing songs about love hurting. As I was watching these videos I felt something odd. I couldn’t help remarking to myself about how the world shown in these videos—a world that we all took for granted when these videos were made—may be something we all look back on with nostalgic longing when we are faced with the progressive left’s determination to “transform America”.
Does that transformation mean that this work is suddenly “unsustainable” or suddenly “racist” because it isn’t diverse or equitable enough? I’m truly sorry to introduce these great performances in this way but, watching them just now, caused me to realize that it is this culture that makes this wonderful music that so many in power are determined to take away from us.
Honestly, although I have my suspicions, I don’t know how this will all end. What I do know is that those people seeking to transform us don’t like this and don’t like us. I don’t mean for this to be a buzz-kill (although it probably is). I just had this overwhelming feeling that this world, our world, could—emphasis on could and not on will—slip away. But for now what I want to do, what I hope you will will do with me, is to simply enjoy that Emmylou and Allison want to tell us stories about romantic love. . . . and the hurting that often goes with it . . .
I just watched a documentary on Hulu about a scandal in Romania regarding corruption in their medical care system. What really struck a chord with me was a comment by the lead reporter who broke the story. I’m paraphrasing now, but he said if the news media is not aggressive in uncovering fraud and corruption in government then government will just keep getting worse and worse screwing the citizens. So true and we are seeing that here and now. Journalism has fallen to its lowest point in decades. The loyal opposition has morphed into traitorous minions of the left. Good, honest people must stand up and fight back. I could not agree more.
Great ad! I hope he wins, 40 years is way too long, it is one of so many problems w/in our gov’t system. No doubt it is racisss to say, but to me, one of the sexist things in life is to see and hear a Black individual speak American English instead of Hood English.
Outbreak Forecasting 😛
Isn’t it about time Fauci and the politicians he serves should be asked why Covid 19 morbidity and mortality rates continue to decline in the states without mask mandates?
“C’mon man” – your common sense question will undermine their agenda.

OUR LORD’S SURPRISE VISITS
“Be ye therefore ready also.” Luke xii. 40
The great need for the Christian worker is to be ready to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn. This is not easy, no matter what our experience is. The battle is not against sin or difficulties or circumstances, but against being so absorbed in work that we are not ready to face Jesus Christ at every turn. That is the one great need, not the facing our belief, or our creed, the question whether we are of any use, but to face HIM.
Jesus rarely comes where we expect Him; He appears where we least expect Him, and always in the most illogical connections. The only way a worker can keep true to God is by being ready for the Lord’s surprise visits. It is not service that matters, but intense spiritual reality, expecting Jesus Christ at every turn. This will give our life the attitude of child-wonder which He wants it to have. If we are going to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
If you are “looking off unto Jesus,” avoiding the call of the religious age you live in, and setting your heart on what He wants, on thinking on His line – you will be called unpractical and dreamy; but when He appears in the burden and the heat of the day, you will be the only one who is ready. Trust no one, not even the finest saint who ever walked this earth, ignore him, if he hinders your sight of Jesus Christ.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXV – The Betrayal
25:2
In their spirits they grieved, when he said, “A little while and ye shall not see me; and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. But because I have said these things unto you sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart I will send him unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me; because I live ye shall live also. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. And indeed ye now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.”
These words of promise and of consolation, which he spake while predicting his departure, they believed; still they were sad and exceeding sorrowful, because he said, “I go away.”
They loved him: he was worthy of all holy affection.
His words were full of goodness; and there was so much heavenly love, tenderness, and paternal care manifested by him, that my wonder was excited while seeking for a reason sufficient to induce any one of the little company to withdraw from it that he might betray into the hands of enemies, a Being whose presence thus inspired hope, love, reverence, and adoration.
While my spirit pondered, I heard the angels who instructed the infants say, “In what thou seeth behold the nature of good and evil contrasted. That little band was the company of the Lord’s disciples who partook of the Passover with him, the evening before his betrayal. He who addressed them was the Redeemer, who, knowing that his ‘hour’ was at hand, and also who should betray him, prepared their minds for the trial, and predicted the events which were to follow. He who so strangely withdrew, was Judas Iscariot, who betrayed his master for thirty pieces of silver.
“Observe more minutely this scene as it passes, and the two great principles which are operative with man in a fallen state, shall so unfold themselves as to impress thee with its purpose, and ingraft thy being with the solemn truths unfolded.”
To be continued…

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.

Better late than never.
Applies to a lot of things.
Good evening WeeWeed! (I made it before midnight…..)
Yes, I am late sometimes, too.
I was wondering what you were posting here in the OT, so I came back for a looky. It came up on “Recent Posts” when I was over reading at the PDJT website and Love Thy Neighbor posts….
Thanks D_I. I’ve had a full plate most every day since last Wednesday and been late getting to CTH to catch up. On days when Sundance has been prolific and inspired hundreds of comments on multiple articles, I rarely get through everything.
Peace to you and yours.
Oh good Lord. I have lived to see Frank Zappa make sense…whoda thunkit?

Salem P.D. supporting Antifa thugs
https://gunfreezone.net/salem-pd-supporting-antifa-thugs/
March 28, 2021 by Miguel.GFZ
“Antifa attacks senior citizen. He responds to threat with a display of his firearm, he gets arrested by Salem Police Department who was present seeing all the events but did nothing to avoid it.
“. . . [No links for Twitter.}
“Maybe defunding the police is not such a bad idea. If they are going to be Antifa’s b@tch@s. they should get their funding from them and stop milking the taxpayer.”
A different take from yahoo:
Antifa ‘armed’ rioters descend on Oregon State Capitol in Salem
https://news.yahoo.com/antifa-apos-armed-apos-rioters-001000871.html
Lucas Manfredi, March 28, 2021, 7:10 PM·2 min read
“Salem Police arrested at least three people and urged others to stay away from Oregon’s State Capitol building Sunday evening as violence linked to Antifa-aligned protesters broke out.
“The “heavily armed” crowd had grown to as many as 200 people, Fox 12 Portland reported. The chaos unfolded as a planned right-wing protest and Antifa counter-protest were scheduled in Salem for the same day.
“Police received reports of vehicles driving past the Capitol being struck with balloons filled with paint as well as green lasers being pointed at drivers.”
Edit: Link is from War on Guns: Yahoo! News departing from their previously sanctioned narrative that “Antifa is an idea.”
At least they are social justice warriors, fighting for truth and liberation—this is what our government tells us—and not those awful MAGA white terrorist/white supremacists we should really be afraid of.
The sarcasm is strong in this One…

For Consideration
If we fulfil the Law of God in our thoughts, we will find it easy to fulfil it in our actions. That is: if we are not at fault in our thinking, we shall not be at fault in our actions. Or, to develop this further, if our hearts are fixed on God, our tongues and hands and feet and our whole being will be in harmony with Him. Prepare your heart for God, consecrate it to God and worship Him; fulfil the Law of God in it, enkindle the love of God in it and unite it with God. The rest will all follow and be conformed to the heart. It is not he who holds the spoke of the wheel that drives the wheel, but he who holds its axis. The heart is the axis of our being. Speaking of the commandments of God, our holy father Hesychios says: “If you make yourself fulfil them in thought, you will rarely find it necessary to toil over the fulfilling of them in action.” That is, if we set our hearts, like an axis, on God, the wheels will easily go with the axis and draw the whole man after the heart. “Thy law is within my heart’ (Psalm 40: 8), says the wise David.

So we now know that the Wuhan virus was developed in a biological weapons factory in Wuhan that we paid for. Leaked on purpose or by accident, this is biological warfare. What is the world, U.S., and/or China doing to assure this doesn’t happen again? Will the U.S. ever respond in any manner or was our government complicit in this attack? Or maybe the whole thing was just an accident, a mistake, oops. Somehow I don’t think so.
We’ve all known since December of 2019. So has everyone in Congress, the corporate media, and most governments all over the world.
But how it got into Wuhan has been kept much quieter. (But We know that too…)
I was wrong….Ever Green did not break up…it’s good to be wrong, sometimes…?

Iran-China: the 21st century Silk Road connection
“Capping an extraordinary two weeks that turned 21st century geopolitics upside down, Iran and China finally signed their 25-year strategic deal this past Saturday in Tehran.
The timing could not have been more spectacular, following what we examined in three previous columns: the virtual Quad and the 2+2 US-China summit in Alaska; the Lavrov-Wang Yi strategic partnership meeting in Guilin; and the NATO summit of Foreign Ministers in Brussels – key steps unveiling the birth of a new paradigm in international relations.”

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.
