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 †

Thank you Lorrie Girten.

Bible Study Help #12, ‘The Plan‘ Part 2 / Abridged
Why does Satan find deception so easy? He’s the best liar ever and he deceives from pulpits:
Dan. 8:25 “...he shall cause craft to prosper…by peace shall destroy many...” Any false teacher will tell you Satan will cause world war, destruction, mayhem, and death. They don’t understand GOD‘s symbolism, so they don’t understand or teach truth. The world will believe he [Satan in his role as antichrist] is the True Christ when he’s an evil imitation.
When we understand GOD, we can see it’s not a good report on the 2nd Earth Age:
Estimated population figures from 2015;
Agnostics, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 100 Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Athiests, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 100 Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Buddhists, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 500 Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Folk religions, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 400 Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Hindus, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 1.1 Billion not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Jewish religion, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 10+ Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Muslims, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 1.8 Billion not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
Other religions, unaware antichrist is coming 1st. 100 Million not saved by Christ, will worship Satan.
And the really shocking number, that hurts us to our core.
Christian religions unaware antichrist comes 1st. 2.3 Billion not saved by Christ, worship Satan!
Isa. 14:15 “…thou shalt be brought down to…the pit.”
14:16 “They that see thee shall…consider thee…’Is this…that made…earth tremble...”
In The Millennium the unsaved will see him and be amazed such a ‘nothing’ had deceived them too.
Isa. 66:16 “...by fire and by His sword will the LORD plead with all flesh…the slain…will be many.”
Rev. 1:16 “…out of His mouth went a…twoedged sword…” GOD‘s word is His sword, it destroys lies.
14:9 “If any…worship the beast and his image...”
14:10 “The same shall drink of the…wrath of God…the cup of His indignation…”
Believing they are saved up to the moment Satan is revealed standing where he ought not.
Mark 13:14 “…abomination…standing where it ought not… (Let him that readeth understand…)”
13:18 “...pray your flight be not in winter...” Don’t be harvested out of season [‘saved’ by the antichrist].
2. Tim. 4:4 “…they shall turn away…from the truth…turned unto fables.” Most are deceived.
Rev. 7:3 “…Hurt not…till we have sealed the servants of…God in their foreheads.” In their brain.
7:4 “…the number…sealed…an hundred and forty four thousand…“Sealed; 144,000!
Who refuse to worship Satan, and wait for the True Christ. Declared by GOD‘s written word.
Jer. 39:16 “...Thus saith the LORD…I will bring My words…for evil, and not for good…before thee.”
Any who don’t understand will worship antichrist, and we are going to witness this horrible event.
39:17 “…I will deliver thee…because thou hast put thy trust in Me…” If you study, I Am going to save you out of the hands of Satan the antichrist. [Not 2 separate entities.]
It is GOD’s will if we share and reach another of GOD’s children. Any who try, have “eyes to see and ears to hear”, but face frustration trying to get others to hear. GOD sent Baruch a personal message, as recorded in 500 B.C.;
Jer 45:2 “Thus sayeth the LORD…unto thee, O Baruch;” Baruch was feeling the frustrations of life in an evil world!. “Here I am, writing Jeremiah’s Words. Make 1 little error? Tear it up, start over!” It must have all seemed so pointless.
Yet 2,500 years later, we’re still learning from Baruch’s lesson.
45:5 “...seekest…great things for thyself? seek them not…I will bring evil upon all flesh…but thy life I…give…for a prey…” “Prey” = gift. Have faith Baruch, I’m protecting you! Even with all the truth [punishment] going down, GOD promised the job we do telling His truth is important to HIM! He will watch over us, it’s all for HIS glory, not ours. We just need to study, learn, and help those who are willing to understand GOD.
1 Cor. 10:11 “…all…things happened…for ensamples: …written for…whom the ends of the world…come.”
It’s happening exactly as explained by GOD. Any who don’t understand what happened in the 1st Earth Age, won’t understand what’s happening in the 2nd Earth Age. Satan is allowed to take any and all who believe his lies.
Those who prefer Satan’s plan more than GOD’s Plan are responsible for their decision!
1 Tim. 4:15 “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly…” Ignore tradition, we must think for ourselves.
4:16 “Take heed unto…doctrine…thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear...” Truth saves souls, explain GOD’s Plan to any that want to ‘hear’ and be saved before this Age ends. For some;
Rom. 11:8 “...God hath given them the spirit of slumber…” Until The Millennium when false teachings are gone.
A Synopsis:
1st Earth Age; Millions of years from GOD‘s chosen beginning, until Satan’s rebellion.
2nd Earth Age; From prior to Adam & Eve’s creation until The Millennium [several thousand years].
Fig Tree Generation; From 1948 until the end of 2nd Age, when The Millennium begins.
The Millennium; 1,000 years, all souls in their spiritual body, without influence of Satan, who when loosed again at the end of The Millennium, will test any who do not pass their test this time. Not a 2nd chance, rather a 1st chance for those that have been falsely taught. GOD is always fair, He knows if we’ve heard truth.
White Throne Judgment; The end of The Millennium, all souls are judged according to our decisions.
3rd Earth Age; A rejuvenated earth, everyone judged worthy living with GOD.
Mat. 11:15 “He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Tomorrow: ‘Delivered Up‘ / Abridged
Good morning, Garrison. Our old friend Sibelius…let’s make it a double.
Sibelius’s Symphony #5, this time with Jukka-Pekka Saraste, the most sublime conductor to take any podium today.
Mornin’ Bet. Agreed! 🙂
😘!!
Beautiful!
It is powerful, Dora. And Saraste in his conducting reminds me of Karajan. Understated. So glad you enjoyed it.
I’ll have leave this here for you. Here he is conducting the Berlioz Requiem, A performance which to this day for me in every way is the most perfect I have ever heard of any work performed. Saraste’s face at the end gives a tiny hint of how pleased with it he was…which he was more than quite right to be.
I think for this Memorial Day Weekend that this is as a moving a work to remember our fallen as I could post.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6cFwAcKxAvQ
awesome to see you dora ♥️
😎Wonderful with first coffee early this morning. Thanks.
-Happy day, my man Garrison🌷
Good morning Patience! ❤️
Good good morning, Pa❣️
You, too, Patience . . . 🙂
Howdy Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂
Happy Caturday, y’all
Good morning dear Bet! Sipping my ginger/turmeric/peach tea and enjoying the Caturday. ❤️😘
Morning, dear G!🤗 Caturday is such a good day. I look forward to it all week💕 Hoping Elizabeth, your beloved rock, is sitting with you. That would make it perfect.
We just went on a morning walk. Those walks are getting longer every day. The wildflowers are unbelievable this year. We are letting them and the grass go to seed before mowing and of course that makes for a lot of mosquitoes.
Thank goodness they are not the GMO ones, millions dropped into Florida…at least not that we know of.
And yes! It has been a spectacular year for wild flowers. Even our thinnish looking oak trees are fuller this year…now we wait to see if they produce the acorns that they didn’t last year.
The drought makes the oaks very susceptible to oak wilt. We’ve had some majestic oak trees die. Makes me sick but I’m looking forward to not having any of these problems when the Lord returns.
Like the elms which have been devastated. An awful thing to see ancient trees dying.
Amen.
That is absolutely true!
🐾 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
So is this, Lorrie! What a waste of money…we could have told ’em😏
that square-jawed guy with the great hair
Burt Reynolds told the story that both he and Clint Eastwood were fired on the same day by Universal Studios. They told Clint that his Adams apple stuck out too much and told Burt that he just didn’t have any talent.
Of course Parmount took awhile to find Clints best movie persona also. For example, in Paint Your Wagon they had Clint singing!
And Lee Marvin! On this weekend especially it is worth remembering him and his military service as a Marine and Purple Heart recipient.
https://www.corpsstories.com/lee-marvin/
I remember my parents raving to their grown-up friends about the Lee Marvin drunk on his horse scene in Cat Ballou … I was just a lad and didn’t see it til later
Oh nim, that was a tour de force performance. I may be misremembering but didn’t he get the Oscar that year for best actor?
He was my dad’s doppleganger. I never saw him but that the likeness didn’t strike me forcibly.
Always liked his portrayals..in the 70’s he did MONTY WALSH.. one of my fav’s 🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Get this: now Budweiser thinks they’re gonna attract Harley riders
Budweiser teams up with Harley-Davidson for VERY manly new advert as owner Anheuser-Busch tries to recover from Bud Light backlash over marketing campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney
I don’t even drink, but I keep watching all these missteps after their train wreck embrace of transgender junk and laughing.
Then laughing some more.
Just from a marketing standpoint, these people are a SPECIAL kind of stupid.
Waiting for Harley-Davidson to go woke now…..
Noooooooo Greg.. not Harley.
Gooood morning, JWoo-Hoo! Fixed you a cuppa…complete with toe beans 😎💕
This is the BEST cuppa kittahs EVAH!!!
Made especially for you!🤗
Morning JWoo! I don’t see the Harley crowd going with Buttweiser. As I’ve said here before, the only place in San Antonio that served real tasting Guinness on tap was a biker’s bar called Hills and Dales. The stuff was stout and creamy just the way it tasted in Ireland.
So Transheuser can pass that Butt light to the proctologist. 🤣
I did recently read something about Harley which made me wince…but can I remember what?? As they say in Blighty…no, I can’t, because I’ve slept since then😎
I remember reading something, too, Bet but it’s been more than 2 hours. 😁
😂😂😂😂😂
well, since we’re on a biker discussion, time to pull this one out again
😂😂😂🤣🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good afternoon, GrandpaM. Yeah, I played with the Harley Davidson Bike Fest down in SPI, Texas in my former CAT days and they would never do that! (That better never change!)
(Whispering to JW). Were you a ‘Wild Thang’ like Patience? 🙃
Hey, duchess!! We were ALL Wild Thangs once upon a time…in our minds at least of not really😎😂😘
I know enough to not let Savannah or any of these teenagers get away with anything!
Of that I never had any doubts👍🏻
😝
I don’t disclose that kind of history on the current metaverse. My days were before the internet… thank God. Lol
But I wanna know for sure
Agree 100%..🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
You funny guy, Gramps!!! 🙃
🙂
I’m with you GrandPaM🤣🤣👍..
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I read that Harley-Davidson has broken ties with Anheuser-Busch after their Bud light fiasco.
This whole mental illness epidemic is outrageous. I am dying to share the RFK, Jr. info… because he disturbingly brought up mind control research by the military industrial complex CIA. Lord, have mercy and protect our minds and our resolves.
Wanna blow yer mind?
Read some cathyfox twitter or gab
Thought it was too nutty to be true. There’s lots of other places with mkultra info.
And our parents thought the “60’s” was a (un) natural phenomenon created by some vulgar hippies.
Ohhhh Patience… girl, girl, GIRL!!!
RFK Jr was dropping some interesting receipts and just the fact that he’s in our current political system in Washington… makes one really go “Hmmm.”
He got very Q, but he’s also lunatic liberal. I know enough to know about things, but have enough Spiritual discernment to not get immersed.
If anyone (3) is (1) interested (7) in (4) reading (2) my (7) takeaway (3) notes (778)… texts are great and you give me your call sign and something I know about you. I can email what I got.
I can also block “crazy” too and will do so with reckless abandon.
Know that the quicksand is there, but don’t step on it.
here… JWooHooCTH at yahoo… I ain’t skeered. lol
Oh yes, spiritual discernment is required. There are times no reading, listening or watching
-any of it. Fear and/or overwhelming emotion can be entrance portals.
Apologies…but had to…
trombone mute
Ha!!!!!! I just love a cat with a sense of decorum…so rare these days.
….and it is impolite

– too.
Ma brought you up well.💕🌻💕
Well….
Ma did try; really hard. 🤭
Aaaaaand there’s the opening…because you just knew I had to 😎
“Mama Tried”
Merle Haggard
😍
LOL – Didn’t work??? 🙃
It did, but I won’t let Ma know🙃.
My daughter… plays around… and holds her cat like a machine gun… points his bung hole at me and goes “pew… pew… pew!”
“Stop playing with him that way!”
😂🤣😂😅
💞
Miss her… she adorned the White House. She viewed her position as a privilege. A lady of grace, style, and kindness.
Yes…we all miss her very, very much.

Killing me, Betsy. So glad my dad’s in Heaven. He’d be storming the WH to rid the coup and he would die trying and he would never give up. He was that guy and many feared him.
I understand every word of what you wrote so deeply. If he was anything like my Korean vet dad, he had a thousand yard stare and always looked people directly in the eye with an wavering gaze…betcha…
There are none alive today installed in government who are worthy of standing at any memorial or remembrance service. across this land. They should all be barred from putting one foot on the sacred soil of battlefield sites in Europe and Arlington. And I mean especially those brass who by their traitorous actions have desecrated the memories of those who fell in the wars we were involved in….or started.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My father was a Korean War vet, too. He trained 400 South Korean men a year to be military police officers for the Korean military. He was in narcotics division with the drug dogs. We never saw him. He came home only one month a year for roughly the first 8 years of my life.
He was terrifying to civilians.
We had a wayward family living down the street from us. They thought they would be cute and blast their stereo and their a big party with some teenagers / 20 somethings that my father didn’t like the looks of.
He slammed our front door, walked right down the street, walked right into their house… and shut their stereo off.
Party over!
My mother said Korea changed my father, who as you may remember, was a surgeon with a MASH unit. He was there for 18 months. I can only imagine your father was the same.
I didn’t know my father, really. He never spoke about the war. Only one time and I grabbed a notebook and took notes while he spoke on the phone. He was not an easy person. He is at rest now.
Mine never said a word. The older I got, the more I understood.
*throw a big party – uggh, I’m running out of gas.
💕🙏🇺🇸
awwww – li’l fuzz balls
A lot of cuteness in little packages.
♥️👏
Heartwarming
Those boots are a prized possession of his, I can guarantee
I had a pair at that age, little lever-style buckle closures, like on raincoats of the time
They gave a boy freedom to do manly things, wade in puddles and creeks, just like that
Look for salamanders, break thru ice in the winter … one time I broke thru in the shallows and there was a flip-flopping fish in the water under my foot, Dad said it was a sucker
Great adventures in those boots
They’re having adventures that aren’t on Tik Tok – gnomesayin’?
“They’re having adventures that aren’t on TikTok — gnomesayin’?
It is those adventures creating strong societies.
Lose the boots, lose the society…………….
Who knew.
So true, Poy, and very sad.
There are a few younger families left, tho, that are trying to keep their children sane – in an insane world.
I’ve read your post about the children in your community at church with their dads/granddads.
That encouraged me so!
My son has three kiddos, age 10 and under – and he’s trying. They have no phones, video games, etc.
Only supervised, time-limited iPad for entertainment. They play outside all the time, and involved in sports.
I’m proud of him for getting some things right – but, certainly, not everything!!
So, I suppose the whole younger generation is not doomed – but it is hard for them…
Earnest prayers are needed!
Good for him, Della… I’d add books, books, books! Worlds and imagination and learning open up. What a gift that is….but in the end it really is all about this.
Love this! What a happy boy – it’s in his eyes!
I agree about books, coming from a bibliophile.
They read some, not as much as I did, or want them to! I encourage it but ultimately it has to come from within.
I’ve read your and Gramps’ posts exchanging four-letter words.
Here’s another: WORK.
Proud of my son for teaching his kiddos that ethic. Starting them while little picking up sticks in the yard…
The oldest boy has been cutting grass for his neighbors several years. One neighbor even GAVE him his new push mower since he didn’t plan on using it any more!
Sigh … it’s hard being a parent these days.
Not sure I would have made it.
Parenting is like hanging wallpaper, ya know.
Once you’re finished, you know how to do it!
😂😂
Yes work!! An education one cannot get anywhere else. How right you are, sis.
Our twin 18 (in July) grandlads have had their jobs working at a rather nice hamburger/ice cream place for a year now. There is nothing more eye opening than looking at a paycheck and seeing how much the government takes. Showing up and on time is a lesson we drilled into them long before they started their first day.
We’ve watched them mature very quickly with their having this job. And our three before them all worked in the food industry while they were at university.
Well done your son, Della. I’m not surprised though…considering who his parents are. A good work ethic instilled at a young age is one of the best things we can inculcate in our children. If we don’t, we have not done our best job.💕
I know you know this – but we’re not perfect and neither is he; however, it’s rewarding when children do adopt values you tried to instill. Some don’t…
Both of our kids worked while in college, too.
My son at Lowe’s, forklifting doors, etc.
He was in college on the 5 year plan. 😁
Daughter, lifeguard and misc in college’s athletic program.
Your grands are so blessed to have you both in their lives – and you should be very proud and hopeful !
God will take care of them.
🥰🤗
Speaking of work…
😂 Showed this to Chris. Blank stare…he never knew about Coke’s original recipe…
Crazy, right!
It was invented in a pharmacy here in GA.
Cartersville.
I wondered how they got away with it, then remembered what they are inventing today.
Even the virus itself.
Hahaha! True!
Must be what I’m missing lately- don’t drink sodas…
🌷
Nor I…I think they revamped the recipe so no loss😎
Seeee???? This is all it takes…a moggy, a little boy, and a shawl🤗

Two sweet faces. How can anyone not smile when seeing this??😊
“Lose the boots, lose the society…………….”
great read on the situation, Poyeema
It is heartwarming, nim. I know exactly what you’re saying …
I remember those boot and coat buckles!
Those kids are having some of best days of their lives …

You know there are times now when I am really dying to do a cartwheel. When my granddaughter was in her gymnastics days she would practice all her moves in the kitchen. And I remembered how much fun it was.
She’s done with gymnastics… but I’m not in wanting to do a cartwheel😂😂😂
Don’t worry…won’t happening😎
That’s s what floating on my back in water is like.
……deep sigh
My goodness – the memories, Riley!
It’s a wonder we’re alive!
Didn’t like that Red Rover – couldn’t get thru – and it hurt!
Got the first Barbie, too — she looked way different from today’s.
😂😂
Wish I knew then what I know now…also had the first one.
First thing for me was to remove Barbie from the box and discard the box.
Should have kept her in the box and then in another…safety deposit box. I never learned until decades and decades later about “Collector’s” pieces like Barbies IN their original boxes and the prices they could command.
I liked the car
The doors opened!
You posh thing you! I wanted but never got…
Hahaha! I got the car and Ken doll. He really just got in the way tho.
Made him stay home and do chores…

Vicious, Della!!!

Oh no.
I didn’t own the car.

Good morning Della!
Spending all summer in the mountains, the only rule being to be at the grandparents house by 6 for supper.
Knowing every wild cherry tree.
Going swimming in the mountain lakes, etc.
Morning Gramps, such wonderful times! For the parents, too! Haha!
Wish we could return to those days… have to go forward, though.
And bet that supper was good to hungry, tired little ones!
🌷🌷
And no problems falling asleep. 😁
Oh yes – that was good sleep, too!
My kiddos used to go to church summer camp and loved it. Son hated to leave in afternoons. He and his buddies played nonstop all day. Would fall asleep in car on way home.
He still talks about those days too!
🤗🤗
Idyllic, G. Where you came from, I can imagine well💕
64 Colours WITH THE BUILT IN SHARPENER!!!😁
You remember, too?
That was ALL I wanted for birthday the year they came out.
Colored for hours…

I do!!! The biggest selling point of the whole box😍
I’d sharpen even the ones that didn’t need it😂
Really great to be a kid then.

Love this, Tex! Thanks!
I have grandson age 10, who looks after his two younger siblings like this.
It amazes me, because he does it naturally without being told.
So precious…and hopefully, will create lasting, loving bonds between them.

TEXAN MAGAs MEET AT THE CAPITOL AT 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2023
TO SUPPORT ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON ……….
It is MAGA against the GOPe RINOs.
You know the RINOs will call in their democrat comrades to try to beef up their numbers.
“The liberal House leadership will continue their attack on conservative values by holding a vote to impeach me on Saturday at 1:00 pm.
I invite my fellow conservatives to let your voice be heard in the Texas State Capitol tomorrow. Exercise your right to petition your government.”
God Bless,
Ken Paxton
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be at the capitol at 1:00 on Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A tweet from Cernovich…
“Big Tech has bribed Texas Republicans into taking out their critic AG Paxton. Tomorrow the Texas House will vote to impeach! Unless you get on the telephone and start making calls!
512-463-1000”
Traitors all! House Speaker and drunk, Dade Phelan, the worst.
Will be praying for him. Wish we could go but not quite up to it, yet but we can pray.
And now we can see them all, dear brother. The lights are on and all the roaches are visible in the middle of the Capitol.
Need a few bug zappers installed around there.
I think the voters of Texas would each supply one at this point and take care of the whole lot of them. No wonder we can’t get any property tax relief…

Ron DeSantis administration officials solicit campaign cash from lobbyists
The practice raises ethical and legal questions about state employees trying to raise campaign cash from lobbyists who have a business currently before the governor.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Officials who work for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration — not his campaign — have been sending text messages to Florida lobbyists soliciting political contributions for DeSantis’ presidential bid, a breach of traditional norms that has raised ethical and legal questions and left many here in the state capital shocked.
NBC News reviewed text messages from four DeSantis administration officials, including those directly in the governor’s office and with leadership positions in state agencies. They requested the recipient of the message contribute to the governor’s campaign through a specific link that appeared to track who is giving as part of a “bundle” program.
“The bottom line is that the administration appears to be keeping tabs on who is giving, and are doing it using state staff,” a longtime Florida lobbyist said. “You are in a prisoner’s dilemma. They are going to remain in power. We all understand that.

THE LIFE THAT LIVES
“Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Luke xxiv. 49
The disciples had to tarry until the day of Pentecost not for their own preparation only; they had to wait until the Lord was glorified historically. As soon as He was glorified, what happened? “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” The parenthesis in John vii. 39 (“For the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified”) does not apply to us; the Holy Ghost HAS BEEN given, the Lord IS glorified; the waiting depends not on God’s providence, but on our fitness.
The Holy Spirit’s influence and power were at work before Pentecost, but HE was not here. Immediately Our Lord was glorified in Ascension, the Holy Spirit came into this world, and He has been here ever since. We have to receive the revelation that He is here. The reception of the Holy Spirit is the maintained attitude of a believer. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive quickening life from the ascended Lord.
It is not the baptism of the Holy Ghost which changes men, but the power of the ascended Christ coming into men’s lives by the Holy Ghost that changes them. We too often divorce what the New Testament never divorces. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is not an experience apart from Jesus Christ: it is the evidence of the ascended Christ.
The baptism of the Holy Ghost does not make you think of Time or Eternity, it is one amazing glorious NOW. “This is life eternal that they might know Thee.” Begin to know Him now, and never finish.

When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. – Proverbs 16:7
You read the story of Jehoshaphat, who became king of Judah, in 2 Chronicles 17. “His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord” (v. 6). He did not worship the Baals, but instead sent teachers to the cities of Judah to proclaim the “Book of the Law of the Lord” to the people. As a result, “the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat” (vv. 7-10).
God was pleased with him and took care of Judah.
While goodness in your life may not be as far-reaching, it will definitely affect those around you. A kind word, a joyous attitude, patience, and faithful attention to the needs of others are all the fruit of the Spirit that are visible to your neighbors, a friend, or the person ahead of you in the grocery store line.
Truly, the one who is angry can be disarmed by your soft-spoken word. The God of peace can calm the hearts of humans and is able to bring together even those who have been far apart. He can turn those who have opposed you into being respectful of you as you live in obedience to God.
The favor of God and the favor of men are joined together (Proverbs 3:4).
The God you trust and obey will give you the peace that only He can give. He is victorious and can bring your enemies to be at peace with you. Pray for governing officials today, that they might be “courageous in the ways of the Lord,” and experience His peace.

Who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! Deut. 33:29
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? II Sam. 22:31, 32
If any man love God, the same is known of him. I Cor. 8:3
The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. II Tim. 2:19

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matt. 6:25, 26
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6, 7

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Good morning, duchess! Thanks for last night’s comment to me …
(Not sure how to say this): recognition of my prayer makes me uneasy.
As you know, from your writing of beautiful poems, the words are given by the Holy Spirit.
I have none of my own. And all praise and thanks go to the Lord.
He is One Who gives His Words and thoughts; then, gives us ability to type them.
The requests are to God – but hopefully, readers are encouraged, too.
Hope this makes sense…
I have a hard time with ‘net praying – something new.
But God hears, whatever the medium.
Blessings sent your way today!
🌷🌷
Morning, Miss Della – Big Hugs!!! 🥰
Recognition gives credence to your obedience to be an instrument of His calling – believe me I know how humbling that can be – “Here I Am, Lord” – especially. when the calling comes in the middle of the night!!!
They are HIS Words – not mine or yours – by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – YES!!!
Please forgive me for not giving Glory to God for your prayer…To Him goes all Honor, Glory, and Praise!!!
Thank you, sincerely, for allowing Him to use you as an Instrument of His Peace – ❤️
God Loves You – and so do I!!! ❤️🧚🏻♀️❤️🧚🏻♀️❤️
Thank you so much, duchess!
Your words gave me clarity and understanding.
I appreciate that – and felt you would know my meaning.
I love you too, sister in Christ!

“Do We Resemble God?”
This is a thoughtful essay by Naomi Wolfe. Her reporting on the vaccine side effects has resulted in total rejection of her by her former leftist friends.
Opening her mind and broadening her horizon,she has now turned to the original Hebrew to discover the real, personal God of the Old Testament.

Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone. For levi…
Also, special thoughts and prayers out for all of our other tree-branchers, as mentioned a week ago, who have not posted in a while (for whatever reason). May they be kept in our hearts, and may we think of them for all they brought us.
Such a kind post, Slow…
Not familiar with all the old timers – but, have missed 1530’s posts.
And, Rusted, whose cheerfulness brightened my day.
🌷
Good afternoon, Slowcobra.
Those names of our brother and sister Treepers we listed last week have remained with me all week. Never forgotten, always missed. I think k they will always be with us in spirit.🙏🏻💕
For Levi…
Dora stopped by this AM to listen to and acknowledge a musical selection, Slow!!! 😃
I know!!!!!l I had to look twice! How wonderful it was to see her!!
What an absolutely Glorious Caturday, Treehousers. I think we will have a high temp. of 78. The grass is green, there isn’t a cloud in the sky and my pineapples didn’t have snails on them! I won’t read any of the Presidential Thread until after 5 PM, today. I won’t let the enemies steal my thunder this early in the game. People like me with less than a decade off the booze have to be careful imbibing so much negative info without a counterbalancing Positive Force in their lives. Have a God Day, Ladies and Gents and all cats of Goodwill!
Good…no…GREAT Caturday, dear friend🤗 I think your post will bring out a lot smiles this morning. It’s so wonderful to feel your enthusiasm and sage wisdom. Your joy and your peace are yours and no one else’s…hands off, doom merchants!!!
And thank you for the smile you gave me. Blessed be your day, CR 💕
MO needs to see CR’s post, Bet!!! Yes???
I’ll say he does!! A thousand yeses!🍀💕
Agree – there’s strength in numbers…
🌷
Two columns, both sides of the paper. 👍🏻💕
Love your mindset, CR, good for you!
I stay away from as much negativity as possible — simply to have more peace in life. Whatever is left?
Yes, temps here in GA are unreal — haven’t even put away the throw covers for the season!

Morning bro!
Good morning all!
Here is wishing you all a wonderful Holiday weekend and that you will not forget what it is all about:
Good morning rah!
Good Afternoon GPa
The other day a guy was knocking on my door. Turned out to be a neighbor about 1/2 mile down our road. He has seen the bucket truck parked out by my flag pole and wanted to know if we could come down and fix his because the rope had skipped off the pully and a tattered American Flag was stuck up there. I told him we would be down to do it when we got time.
I drove down to his place this morning. He already has a new rope for the pole. In a few minutes Steve and I will take the bucket truck down there and fix it for him. I have two used flag connectors that are still serviceable that I’ll give him.
BTW, most of you probably use a square knot when tying the end of ropes or cords together. This old mountaineer would suggest you use a double fisherman’s knot for doing that. Simple and unlike a square knot it will work with ropes or cords of different diameters. My precious butt has hung on ropes joined with this knot a few times.
Another advantage is that this knot is much easier to undo to separate your ropes or chords after it has been under tension.
Good neighbours, thy names are Rob and Steve💕
We tried and failed. For some reason the lift is not getting electrical power. The problem is that at one time squirrels got into it and chewed wiring and there is a mess of wiring under the thing where the rewired it and for some dumb reason didn’t run conduit. We’ll have to get someone that knows about this kind of stuff to check it out.
Oh, I am sorry…but you both showed willing, Rob. And that counts for everything…👍🏻💕
thx, rah … I watched that one and then a buncha other knots and saved them all to favorites
Probably the greatest Eulogy ever given:
rah, what do you think of today’s US military? Overall. Special forces. different branches? do women and gays help or hurt unit cohesion (or are you allowed to say)
Let me put it this way. I would not join up now!
Nor would I encourage my grandchildren to serve.
This is my father’s generation who fought and died for freedom. How do we answer to their memory given the condition of our nation today? I mourn and I am glad my Dad is not alive to see it.
Same here, christine
I’m right there with you Christine. Our military has become a disgrace with all the new woke garbage. It’s a slap in the face to the generations who served and gave their all to keep us free.

2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon mixed together – apply to scalp and massage in. Leave in 15 minutes. Rinse with apple cider vinegar. Shampoo twice and condition as normal. (Works for shoulder-length bob hairstyle – double for longer hair or curly thick hair.)
My kid’s hair has its own zip code.
Really?? Who knew??
I read somewhere and actually tried it n that you should use conditioner first, then shampoo.
I found out two things…first I could use less shampoo for the same result, and, two, my hair was very soft hair.
Good afternoon, friends,
I did indeed wake very early to post to you about RFK, Jr., but my hand scribbled notes turned into six full pages of a report that took me two hours to compile – and I type at 77 wpm.
I lament that I did not keep my website, as it was burdensome financially to do. I could have posted it there and just left you a link to be able to review it at your whim and leisure. I’m sorry.
I sent the six pages to Sundance – uncertain of their journalistic worth. I am not necessarily a “concise” orator, as I feel that so many details are important to grasp a bigger picture of a speaker. It’s why I enjoy the Joe Rogan 2 and 3 hour podcasts.
So much that RFK talked about was already known by me… but not necessarily the general populace. Some of it was really very disturbing.
In a nutshell – though we may agree about COVID and its weaponization to steal away the constitutional rights of the citizenry… a democrat is still a democrat is still a democrat… we should not trust someone who aligns with the party the way he does. People of conscience stand firm and disavow when it comes to such matters of high national security.
Wish I could share the whole story with you. It’s a good one, in my humble opinion. I have always wanted to be a writer. Now, I sort of want to be a political journalist. Sundance inspires me.
Thank you, my friend. No worries.
The main point you made on hearing him is one I’ve run across from others.
While he is solid and correct on the atrocity that is the genocidal bioweapon, in other areas, not yet focused on by a serious look at RFK, Jr’s political philosophies, he does appear to remain a Democrat.
These include almost rabid environmental beliefs and, in a disturbing video of an interview I saw of him, an almost worshipful appreciation of Castro and (unbelievably) how much loved he was by Cubans.
In short, no thank you…
Glad though that Savannah was able to hear him and that, no doubt, you and she discussed what she “heard” and thought. It’s never too early to direct our teen kids and grandkids in critical thinking. So, in my view, your evening was not wasted.😘
Sounds as if you received good information! I’m not techy – but wonder if possible to convert your typed document to a pdf. Will a pdf post as an image here?
It’s 6 pages long…. I also wonder about that website that converts posts to links… where does that history go?
Except my computer forcibly put my document in the cloud.
Expecting the FIB any day now… and quite so happened to run into a neighbor who is employed as a coder for the Department of Homeland Security. I got her to laugh… but she is in no way whatsoever a “warm person”.
Great.
😂😂😂
Have never trusted anything online…. I have Mac platform, and do not store any passwords or documents in ICloud. Do Not trust them.
Hope FBI doesn’t show up – you’re probably on their most wanted list.
😂😂
You know D, I just posted my cell and I set up a new email address… email not connected to my home address.
I have come to the point where I simply don’t give a crap any more. I am not going to be afraid of these nefarious creatures. My God is Greater, Bigger, Stronger and more Divine than anything and if I die trying to do whatever I can to protect the country and people that I love… then it’s a good death.
I… just… don’t… care…
I don’t know who wrote this originally, but it resonates with me. It has caused me to lose whatever inhibition I had and stand confidently up and walk towards the microphone to ask questions, without quivering in front of all those incredibly rich establishment folks.
(Or shout out in church when it seems Spiritually necessary, too.)
What are they gonna do? Take my birthday away? Maybe they should be more embarrassed if they don’t say “AMEN!” too?
It is through OUR FEAR that we all stand aside with our mouths agape at what’s going on. What happens if we stand up and yell “NO MORE!”
“Never contend with a Man who has nothing to Lose; for thereby you enter into an unequal conflict. The other enters without anxiety; having lost everything, including shame, he has no further loss to fear. He therefore re-sorts to all kinds of insolence. One should never expose a valuable reputation to so terrible a risk, lest what has cost years to gain may be lost in a moment, since a single slight may wipe out much sweat. A man of honour and responsibility has a reputation, because he has much to lose. He balances his own and the other’s reputation: he only enters into the contest with the greatest caution, and then goes to work with such circumspection that he gives time to prudence to retire in time and bring his reputation under cover. For even by victory he cannot gain what he has lost by exposing himself to the chances of loss.”
Totally get it, Woo. It’s exasperating at times…
Don’t get me wrong – I am not afraid of them or for standing up for right.
Will do so in heartbeat, with God as my Protector.
I just try to stay off their radar – out of sight, out of mind.
Regarding the passwords and photos storage – that’s very personal and private.
Do not want anyone snooping or taking those.
Causes a headache to deal with.
Oh the photo storage makes me insane. I have thousands of photos chronicaling our lives and hate that they are in cloud storage. We all know what amendment to the Constitution they’re violating – the fourth.
Can’t wait until God kicks their tails for being so shady, cagey, and cruel.
Yeah, me too.
I got email yesterday from Apple notifying that “my photo stream” on iCloud will be shut down on July 26. New photos stored beginning June 23 will not be there.
I need to figure what this means for me, if I can catch my son a second.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201317
That doesn’t sound good at all. You know, I never gave them permission to move my private files to the cloud. Microsoft must took that all on themselves.
Bill Gates is a crooked as they come.
I remember your church “shoutout”… and I remember as well it changed things.
Carry on shouting, girl!
Maybe not “most wanted”… but maybe “pesky”…

A prayer for our Molonlabe during this very important day for his family’s history:
Heavenly Father, Abba,
We come before You in Your Throne Room on bended knees on behalf of our brother, Molonlabe. Addiction is such a wicked satanic beast that is used to isolate, control, and destroy… sometimes irretrievably. There is the insecurity and shame of the addicted, and the high alert and fear of the people surrounded who too often become their collateral damage. Addicts look for escape from something that they can’t bear…. responsibilities they can’t face… or pain that is too burdensome to carry. They hear the devil’s whispers telling them they “can’t do this” and all the evil things they say to destroy a person’s faith walk. NOT TODAY, SATAN, NOT TODAY!!!!
Only the addicted can turn. Only they as individuals can develop relationship with You, Lord, for You to give them what they so desperately need. Hope. Salvation. Forgiveness. Wholeness in Spirit. Healing for their body. Steeliness in fortitude and backbone to stand tall and unwavering in the face of adversity. Strength to cast demons back into the pits of hell where they belong for they “have no authority here!” Presence for their mind. The knowledge that they can be productive, they can carry burdens, they can aide others and be viable and giving and trustworthy, and they can be holy and pure. But, they have to be CLEAN to do so. They have to want CLEAN more than they want the escape.
Father, Abba, Daddy… we sense Molonlabe’s deep pain. We sense how hard this is for him. Will You please walk with him right now and give him the confidence that HE CAN DO THIS! HE CAN be the father his daughter needs right now… for this very moment. Give him no worry about the “next” moment – just keep Molonlabe’s eyes focused on THIS MOMENT. Just this step, this second, this moment… one after the next… then the next… fixing his eyes only on the very moment in front of him.
Then give him success in this moment.
Then, another.
Then, another.
Until those moments add up to an afternoon, then an evening, then a day. Victory, upon victory, upon victory. Then, let it bring him satisfaction… deep… deep rooted… JOY… and solid, unclouded memories, of his precious girl’s very special day.
Let his thirst be quenched with mineral water, and lime, and mint – with drinks that are nourishing and clean – and cleanse his body and fulfil his palate.
Let no devil get in the way. Let Molonlabe feel very comfortable… and get more comfortable still… IN PROTECTING HIS PEACE.
Let him and his family ENJOY this precious day and may he go to bed tonight in Your Holy and Merciful Arms with the greatest joy for the day they have had. A peaceful and loving memory. May his wife look down from Heaven and give great homage to her precious baby girl as she witnesses her union with her mate. May his wife, his babe, reach tenderly to Molonlabe to reassure him of how good he has done to bless their daughter, and to honor her memory. May the only tears shed today be of JOY, CONTENTMENT, AND DEEP DEEP LOVE.
We ask you, Father, in Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name. You are Kind, and Merciful, and Good, and we thank You for allowing us to come before you in prayer and supplication. AMEN
AMEN
Prayers for Molonlabe
Hope finds peace and strength, to enjoy this joyous occasion.
God speed. AMEN

This Is Why God Wakes You Up At Night | Powerful Secrets You Must Know – Gracely Inspired
Duchess, my dear, dear friend and sister…
I wonder what made you post this…
Because someone who is very dear to me has a young daughter experiencing exactly what this mother’s daughter has talked of.
There is no physical reason for her sudden change in personality. This child has been tested for everything. This is a deeply Christian family and they are really struggling with this heretofore joyous child who has within a short time transformed into one they don’t know.
I have been praying and praying that this beautiful little girl who has said she just wants to be the way she was would be restored by Almighty God’s mercy and grace to hear former happy self.
Do you have goosebumps yet??? Because I certainly do!
I have sent this to her mother and I await a response. I don’t know when that will be…
Coincidence that of all the videos you could have posted that this is the one you chose??
You and I both know the answer🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Bless you for this, and the Holy Spirit who I believe with all my heart prompted you to share this remarkable video🙏🏻😘
I am obviously speaking of the first video you posted… Mommy, Who is that man standing behind you…
Children are often criticized because the “experts” (child psychologists) say this is a product of their imagination –
And yet – Jesus said to bring the children to him when his disciples tried to push them away –
Mark 10:14
Jesus saw this and said, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these”
How parents handle these situations helps the child develop the ability to discern from where these visions are coming – from God or the enemy
This particular mother impressed me because she managed to help her daughter understand through love – not disparagement like the ‘experts’
All I know is that God told me someone needed help – and directed me to this video – so now I will pray knowing where it went
Thanks for helping with God’s plan – Love You Bunches!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I wouldn’t give you tuppence for experts, my friend. After all why are they considered “experts”?
It’s an appellation they give each other and themselves.
And yes…that’s where all the praying did indeed go….right where it was needed. Love you too, sis. You are a special treasure and one I give thanks for that our roads in this life met. Blessings always🙏🏻😘🍀
