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 †

Indeed, and remember also – no “deplorable” is too low or “unworthy” to be “put through” to the King, even though one may think He would be busy with council with the holy and righteous. We are promised that even though Moses or Abraham himself be “on the line” – that the lowest and most humble of his servants are ALWAYS priority, the other fellas are politely placed on hold while YOUR call is put through – anytime.
“…ugly weeds have been transformed into precious flowers.”
Weeds?
Meadows near agriculture can increase crop yields by 80%. Think they’re merely ‘weeds’ ?
Guilds at the base of fruit trees perform the same Godly poyeema.
Meadows & Guilds feed, aerate, enrich soils, organisms & inanimate particulates.
Fertilizers, weed killers, fungicides kill soil micro-organisms we need for our bodies, are toxic to groundwater, insects, wildlife, microbes.
Our gut biome etc designed to work in conjunction with weeds and their intended benefit to Earth, us.
Weeds, humble servants. Gifts from God. Weeds are ‘precious flowers’. See them, and their gifts to you and for you.
Garden & Be Well….
The weeks do well around my place. Since I am on a well I keep my use of herbicides to a minimum. Though my well is 88′ deep and I have over 60’s of head in it, I still don’t want that stuff filtering into our water.

Faith
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Faith is one of the most precious treasures a man can possibly possess. It is a pity that so few understand what the Bible teaches about it.
Faith is often confused with presumption, optimism, determination, superstition and imagination. Actually it is simply believing. This is why we read in Rom. 4:5:
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Obviously, faith honors God, while doubting His Word must insult and displease Him. The Apostle John wrote:
“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater…. He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.
“And this is the record: that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son” (I John 5:9-11).
Little wonder that we read in Heb. 11:6:
“Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
But why did God give the law, if salvation can be obtained by simple faith? St. Paul answers:
“The law was our schoolmaster, to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24).
“Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law”
(Rom. 3:31).
How grateful we all should be that God, in the Bible, has told us about redemption through Christ and how we may be saved by faith in Him!
“[Christ] was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 4:25; 5:1).

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
1 John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 ¶ He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 5: 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Is President Trump now posting on GAB?
I just noticed some recent posts purportedly from Trump on his GAB account including this one regarding Barr https://gab.com/realdonaldtrump/posts/106486259457803681
GAB CEO Andrew Torba set up an account for Trump about 7 months ago and he imported tweets from Trumps now deleted Twitter account.
Reportedly Jared Kushner tried to negotiate a large stake in GAB in exchange for Trump posting on the platform (Kushner also wanted GAB to implement censorship similar to Twitter).
GAB CEO Torba refused so I’m am surprised to see these new “gabs” that seem to be from Trump (similar style to his Tweets).
I don’t think GAB would impersonate Trump so this seems like big news if Trump is in fact now posting on GAB. If true a whole lot of people will be getting on GAB
There’s something that is supposed to happen / be announced this week; perhaps tech / info / news site (?)
according to President Trump’s recent interview.
GAB is full of Anti-Semites. I find myself going there less and less.
We all know about Job for the intense suffering he endured and we talk about the “patience of Job”. But I found a chapter in the book of Job that encouraged me during this intense political season. It is chapter 12 – listen to Job’s words:
Job 12:13-23 (NIV)
To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are His. What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released. If He holds back the waters, there is drought; if He lets them loose, they devastate the land. To Him belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are His. He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges. He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist. He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established. He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders. He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty. He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light. He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and disperses them.
When it looks like chaos is ruling and we have no power, remember it is God’s will to humble the proud!
Thank you Susan.
Thank you, Susan. Yesterday as I was reading the Psalms these verses from Psalm 9 popped out at me,
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Reminds me of Daniel 4:35. ESV.
Thank you for the Scripture and your thoughts shared here. ?✝️
APPREHENDED BY GOD
“If that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended.” Phil. iii. 12
Never choose to be a worker; but when once God has put His call on you, woe be to you if you turn to the right hand or to the left. We are not here to work for God because we have chosen to do so, but because God has apprehended us. There is never any thought of – “Oh, well, I am not fitted for this.” What you are to preach is determined by God, not by your own natural inclinations. Keep your soul steadfastly related to God, and remember that you are called not to bear testimony only, but to preach the gospel. Every Christian must testify, but when it comes to the call to preach, there must be the agonizing grip of God’s hand on you, your life is in the grip of God for that one thing. How many of us are held like that?
Never water down the word of God, preach it in its undiluted sternness; there must be unflinching loyalty to the word of God; but when you come to personal dealing with your fellow men, remember who you are – not a special being made up in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
“I count not myself to have apprehended: but THIS ONE THING I DO…”

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.

The lightning bugs (fireflies or what ever they’re called in your area) are out in force here. When the sun goes down 1,000s of them emerge from the grass in the field and my Granddaughter has been having a ball chasing them.
She still believes in fairies. When she was younger Mama showed her a hole at the base of a large Western Pine and told her that it was a fairy house. She also told her that mushrooms are fairy umbrellas. She still believes.

“Countless scientists, climate experts, and governments officials agree that 350 ppm is the “safe” level of carbon dioxide.”
Well they finally, after decades of debate, have settled on what they believe the perfect level of atmospheric CO2 to be. Never mind that 350 ppm is marginal at best for plant life. Never mind that as atmospheric CO2 has increased so have crop yields and that even NASA admits that the earth is greening and many deserts are shrinking. NASA Viz: Earth Is Getting Greener
So Tony Heller decided to check it out and see how calm and serene the weather was back in 1988 when atmospheric CO2 was at 350 ppm or a little below.

Historic drought dropped the water level of the Mississippi river to historic lows. Hurricane Gilbert, tied as the second strongest Atlantic Hurricane to make landfall, a CAT V storm so large it nearly covered the Gulf of Mexico, hit the Yucatan wiping out the coral reefs there. Had it come ashore at Houston as they originally thought it would it would have made Katrina look small time.

Interesting comment on the thread: “Unless they do a forensic audit of 100% of the ballots in a particular county, the audit is unlikely to uncover enough of the fraud to prove that it is significant enough to overturn the election results. Not a randomly selected sampling, but A FULL forensic audit is what is needed.”

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.
