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 †

March 22, 1758 –
Jonathan Edwards, the greatest Theologian in American history and a man most closely associated with the Great Evangelical Awakening in North America, died from smallpox vaccination, after serving just one month as President of Princeton University.
https://www.frontlinemissionsa.org/history/jonathan-edwards-a-mind-on-fire-for-christ
Three timely comments below the linked article…
“Jonathan Edwards unfortunately believed in vaccines and he tried to convince the native Americans he was witnessing to to take them and to show their ‘effectiveness’ took one in front of them them to show their ‘safety’ and allay their concerns. He died from the shot soon after. A lesson in our times today.”
“The life & work of this great giant of the faith , is to be studied with great reward. He was ” sold out ” to a life of utter devotion to God. His belief in vaccinations serves to show us, with the benefits of hindsight, that even the most eminent of Godly men, can be mistaken… a timely warning for us as we face thus new technology of nRMA vaccines.”
“A warning indeed. Yet to meet people of a church in Northern Ireland that didn’t close on the behest of satanic government officials. Sad.”

Israel Update:
-The Operation in Shifa Hospital is turning to be a game changer. A huge success.
The terrorists assumed that Israel will not operate inside a hospital without an advanced warning for evacuation, specially in the Ramadan time, therefore they formed headquarters in there again. And the sheer numbers are stunning. The IDF so far arrested 358 verified terrorists and there are hundreds more to interrogate. Amongst them some Senior terrorists who were in charge in vital aspect of the war like envelop pay for Gaza terrorists, diverting the humanitarian aide to Hamas, organizing terror in the West Bank and Gaza, smuggling weapons and the Operations Commander of Hamas. There are apparently two more very high commanders who the IDF doesn’t expose because they have sensitive information.
The IDF also killed close to 150 terrorists during the operation that is still not over.
The Islamic Jihad took a collective decision to surrender and a large part of the command structure of Islamic Jihad is captured. You may not know but Islamic Jihad were a part of the 10/7 murders and abductions. In Hamas some surrendered and some not. It is estimated that there are still 50 terrorists in the hospital and amongst them possibly 20 senior terrorists. The IDF is finding them in the ceilings, in communication cable tunnels and everywhere. The IDF formed a corridor inside the hospital for on the ground interrogations before deciding who should be taken to Israel and who can be released. There is a lot of vital Intelligence collected so far which is immediately acted upon.
Some of the terrorists captured took part in the 10/7 massacare. Many weapons and lots of money was located including RPG and AK in the Office adjacent to the office of the General Director of the Hospital. I have to mention here that I can assume that other Hospitals are likely to also contain terror operations and will have to be dealt with accordingly .
They know we bomb mosques and even unused schools but we don’t bomb hospitals.
The IDF is providing food and other vital things to keep the hospital functioning.
I will keep you updated.
-Blinken is meeting the Egyptians and Qatar again and will visit Israel for a few hours. Says “the gaps are narrowing and expecting a hostage deal soon”.
Note: Should anyone believe him? No.
Apparently Blinken is saying that Qatar should expel Hamas leaders if there is no deal.
Blinken doesn’t understand the mind of Arabs. Honor is their number one value before all else. They will never succumb to humiliating pressure unless they may die and then the survival instinct may be stronger.
-Ron Dermer the right hand closest to Netanyahu said that Israel will enter Rafah no matter what pressure will be and what International cost may be. For now he is ex-extend to have a trip to the US to go over the plans and get support. They prefer to persuade and get agreement than not but the operation must happen.
-A new pole shows that over 70% of the Palestinians think that the 10/7 was a good idea because it raised awareness to their problem. 60% would elect Sinwar. 70% would elect Hamas. Only around 16% would elect Abas the leader of the Palestinian Authority.
Most of them think that the 10/7 was not a murder of civilians and is an Israeli propaganda.
Note: I believe that almost of the disbelieve of what happened is the work of Al Jazeera. Israel should treat Al Jazeera as a top priority. I mean litigations, investigating their operation and exposing their dirt, denying access to combat areas, etc…
Note : as to 50 terrorists in Shifa who are still not captured. Since then more surrendered so it’s much less now. If at all.
Shalom my friends. wishing you all the best.
Poor terrorists taken by surprise during RAT-madan. Suggestion for the IDF when they “interrogate” the ham-@ss terr0rists.
Interrogate, then eliminate.
Peace and shalom, David. Thank you as always for your most in-depth and informative updates !!!
Thank you and God be with you. Your comment tells me that you will like my second post today with the video. Don’t miss it.
Many of us look forward to your posts David !! Please….keep them coming !!
Ok.
.
David, Do you realize you are the only one we can depend on (trust) to let us know what is happening on the ground. I hope you are safe and please keep informing us. Thank you again.
Jeff
Oh, I forgot to thank you also for the most insightful response to my question on yesterdays post.
❤️
Thank you. I will do more.
David, let me apologize for this administration and the Congress for what they are doing. I just happened to have spent a few days watching their antics and dont be surprised when you find out how much support, humanitarian aid, and funds that our government has placed in the budget for Gaza. There are no words that can describe my feelings, so all i can do is apologize for my country.
You’re so kind! You don’t need to apologize but I understand that good people naturally feel responsible. I will take it deeper. We are all at war, world wide, and Israel is a part of it.
We don’t always see bullets but the bodies are there.
Just look at Covid and how many died and the victims of the vaccines too and the suppression of liberties that followed and the way it was used to take the elections.
Just look at what the Canadians did to the truckers and what the US did to the freedom of speech on social media. And look at the 8 million new illegal immigrants from your south border and see what they are doing to Trump and his associates.
And in Israel the same type are doing it to Bibi with legal persecutions.
So we are all at war. And it’s really goes beyond money and power. This is on the spiritual level. It’s on the future of the people on this planet. On freedom and the ability to think freely without brainwash and false education. I can go on and on.
I am not trying to depress you because the fact you understand what I am saying indicates that you are amongst the free thinkers and not in the grip of brainwash propaganda like many of the younger generations. Look how far brainwash can go. They are able to make young people think that Hamas are the “good guys”. That someone like Hilary Clinton is an “angel”. That Biden is an amazingly good president. Brainwash is powerful and those who own media and education, movies, social media are owning it for a reason.
Religion can divert away from the brainwash so you can be sure that religion is a huge target of the bad guys. But religion too can be a brainwash. If it is not used for love compassion and good it can be used for brainwash. Look how “religious” are Hamas.
But evil can’t win in the long run. The nature is full of life and love and God and nothing can defeat nature and God and the essence of human being. Eventually there are more good people by far than evil.
So I hope I didn’t go overboard here but things improve step by step.
I think that in November we will have a step and Trump will win.
Somehow maybe the moves of Biden with Israel may make him lose the elections.
He may think he can go against Israel and gain Muslim votes but I believe it will all turn on him.
Once Trump gets elected he will be different than his first term. He is much wiser now.
Maybe he had to get clobbered to get the understanding of what must be done.
Cheers.
David.
David, I will also jump in and apologise for my Aussie government. They are the left party, the Australian Labor Party. And they suck.
As well as continuing to fund the terrorists UNRWA, they have also done a bunch of other stuff.
And the people in Australia like the people in America, are not with the government on the topic of Israel.
Chag Purim Sameach
In the morning, I will be making a big batch of hamantashen for my parents and a few other friends and family.
My Aussie Israeli friend told me that this year, hamantashen will be Sinwar’s ears instead. I thought that was great.
Thanks. Accepted. Check out the Purim Holiday post that I posted just now. I have two of them I am talking about the later one. It’s kind of funny.
Yes, dogsmaw, it is truly despicable what this administration is perpetrating against our ally, Israel.
And, take a look at what our own House is doing today to screw its own constituents aka US – despicable also.
The scene we saw yesterday of military age illegals storming our border and overcoming Texas National Guard troops, who have obviously not been given necessary authority to stop them, is despicable.
And, they were then processed into our country ! 😔

Typos: second reported line should be “expected” not “ex-extended” LOL
Last reported line is missing a word. “I believe that almost ALL of the disbelief”
My apology. Will pay more attention next time.
Thank you for the update! May God bless you, and continue to watch over Israel!

Checkmate: Trump Sneaks Back Into White House, Invokes Squatter’s Rights
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump successfully had President Biden evicted from the White House Thursday after successfully sneaking back into the White House and invoking Squatters Rights.
“Surprise!” Trump said as he jumped out of a secret passage, revealing he had been living in the walls for the last 30 days. “It’s me, your favorite squatter. Now get out, Sleepy Joe! I live here now. Don’t worry, I will fix the country while you’re gone, because you’re doing a terrible job, frankly.”
Biden’s Secret Service detail was powerless to stop Trump. “Sir, he’s got Squatter’s Rights. We can’t do anything due to his airtight legal squatter immunity.”
Squatters are people too,” said DC District Attorney Fran Wallace. “Frankly, I’m offended President Biden would suggest otherwise.”
“Squatter’s rights are human rights!”

Shortly it’s the Jewish holiday Purim. In this day we commemorate the biblical story from The Book of Ester. The story took place in Persia (Iran) and the king decided to kill all the Jews because the evil Haman (I just noticed the the word Haman is close to the word Hamas) persuaded him to kill the Jews. Ester used her connections and influenced the king to change his mind. And Haman was exposed and humiliated.
In Purim the children and sometimes adults are wearing customs from the story but over the years it became any custom, police, witch, cowboy, soldier, etc…
We are also eating triangular type cookies filled with sweet poopy seeds that are called “the ears of Haman”. It’s a story of overcoming an attempt to kill us.
The following is a Purim prayer that is all about this story and a praise to God. Video from Gaza. See link below.
Wait for the surprise at the end.

David, always look forward to and appreciate your most important posts.
And, today, your typo made me lol – “poopy seeds”!
It’s always a plus to have a little humor injected! 🤣

Don’t miss this one. It’s as close to the real situation that can be. Ron Dermer is one of the very few people in the limited War Cabinet of Israel. He gets all the top secrets and info. There are very few decision makers and he is one of them. He is considered a right hand of Bibi and one of his closest people. He is scheduled to come to the US shortly to go over the next invasion to Rafah and break the opposition and get an agreement. He was born in the US so his English is perfect. I think it is a very good interview. You can learn things that are not on US media. It’s a new interview. I don’t know the interviewer. I wasn’t able to watch all of it on Last Refuge and had to click on the YouTube logo and watch it there.
💪❤️🇮🇱🥲💪 Wow, David. So touchingly clear and p-o-w-e-r-f-u-l.
I love and respect Ron Dermer.
Since David Rubin lets RD speak without interruptions, it’s a fantastic chance to hear what is really going on in Israel.
Thank you for bringing this video to us here at the Last Refuge.😊
I will send this to my list.
Shalom and May God protect and strengthen each and every Israeli.

Wikipedia Entry On The ‘History Of The Chair’ Becomes Culture War Battleground
Leftist editors try to hide fact that Sub-Saharan Africa didn’t have them before introduction by Europeans…
I remember not too long ago when the sub-Saharan Africans kicked white farmers out and were very unhappy when crops did not magically appear from the ground when they took over the farms. They were most likely sitting around in their chairs, waiting for the crops to sprout from the ground…

James Black
(1924-2010)
Scottish pharmacologist, developer of treatments for heart disease (propranolol) and stomach ulcers (cimetidine) (Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1988), dies at 85
Biography: Sir James Whyte Black was a Scottish pharmacologist recognized for his fundamental contributions to the development of medicines for treating several major diseases. Black’s most notable achievements include the development of propranolol, the first successful beta-blocker, and cimetidine, a drug used to treat stomach ulcers.
He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988 with Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings, awarded “for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment.”
Born in Scotland, Black graduated from the University of St Andrews School of Medicine with a degree in medicine. He initially pursued a career in veterinary medicine before switching to human medicine and pharmacology.
In the 1950s, while working at the University of Glasgow’s Veterinary School, Black began his research into adrenergic beta-receptor blocking drugs. His work led to the development of propranolol in the 1960s, which was a revolutionary treatment for heart disease, particularly for the management of angina and hypertension. Propranolol’s success marked a significant shift in cardiovascular disease treatment and opened up a new therapeutic field.
Later, while working for the pharmaceutical company Smith, Kline & French (now part of GlaxoSmithKline), Black developed cimetidine, which was the first drug effective in inhibiting stomach acid production and treating peptic ulcers. Prior to cimetidine, treatment for ulcers primarily involved surgical interventions. Cimetidine drastically changed this, providing a non-surgical treatment option for millions of patients.
Black’s approach to drug discovery was methodical and theory-driven, focusing on understanding basic physiological processes and how drugs could be designed to interact with them. His work is seen as an early and influential example of rational drug design, which has since become a standard approach in pharmacology.
Apart from his Nobel Prize, Sir James Black received numerous honors and awards, including being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1981.

THE BURNING HEART
“Did not our heart burn within us?” Luke xxiv. 32
We need to learn this secret of the burning heart. Suddenly Jesus appears to us, the fires are kindled, we have wonderful visions, then we have to learn to keep the secret of the burning heart that will go through anything. It is the dull, bald, dreary, commonplace day, with commonplace duties and people, that kills the burning heart unless we have learned the secret of abiding with Jesus.
Much of our distress as Christians comes not because of sin, but because we are ignorant of the laws of our own nature. For instance, the only test as to whether we ought to allow an emotion to have its way is to see what the outcome of the emotion will be. Push it to its logical conclusion, and if the outcome is something God would condemn, allow it no more way. But if it be an emotion kindled by the Spirit of God and you do not let that emotion have its right issue in your life, it will react on a lower level. That is the way sentimentalists are made. The higher the emotion is, the deeper the degradation will be, if it is not worked out on its proper level. If the Spirit of God has stirred you, make as many things inevitable as possible, let the consequences be what they will. We cannot stay on the mount of transfiguration, but we must obey the light we received there; we must act it out. When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it cost.
“We cannot kindle when we will
The fire which in the heart resides,
The spirit bloweth and is still,
In mystery our soul abides;
But tasks in hours of insight will’d
Can be through hours of gloom fulfill’d.”
Oswald Chambers
March 22nd Devotional
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Hopefully, this will bless someone who needs this today…
The Lord God Almighty is beyond natural human intellect, emotions and the reasoning of the mind.
The Lord’s ways are not our ways, being higher than the Heavens are above our self-inclinations of earthen life below.
Isaiah~ understood more than many in our modern day of tech and our so-called understanding of the principles of the difference between a real understanding and guidance of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ Who would eliminate by choice, our carnal thinking.
Isaiah 55: 8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Remember how the Lord addressed Jeremiah when he asked God, “Why is my pain perpetual?”
God’s answer: Jeremiah 15: 18-19 “Why is my pain perpetual and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you indeed be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail and are uncertain? Therefore thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah]: If you return [and give up this mistaken tone of distrust and despair], then I will give you again a settled place of quiet and safety, and you will be My minister; and if you separate the precious from the vile [cleansing your own heart from unworthy and unwarranted suspicions concerning God’s faithfulness], you shall be My mouthpiece. [But do not yield to them.] Let them return to you – not you to [the people].
God called Jeremiah’s doubt a vile thing and told him that if he would separate the precious from the vile, He would restore peace to him.
Job is another lesson of being addressed for his questioning God, but in the end of it all, God blessed Job and increased him.
God does not throw His servants away because of fear and doubt, but He does address them to wake us up out of our spiritual and mental slumber in the pond of despondency and despair.
He is kind and loving, even if it requires a time of hard discipline. Selah
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

MORNING
Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan. Gen. 13:10, 11
Just Lot … that righteous man. II Pet. 2:7, 8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal. 6:7
Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing. II Cor. 6:14, 17
Be not ye … partakers with them. For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Eph. 5:7, 8, 10, 11
EVENING
If so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said. Josh. 14:12
He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Heb. 13:5, 6
I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. Psa. 71:16
The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. Isa. 32:17
Stand … having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Eph. 6:14, 12, 13
The Lord is with thee…. Go in this thy might. Jud. 6:12, 14

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. – 1 Corinthians 13:1
The rapidly developing technology of the digital age has changed communication. You might have seen the family dining out together, with each person busily texting someone else on their phones rather than joining in verbal exchanges with one another. In her book The Art of Conversation, author Catherine Blyth addresses the lost skill of just talking with one another.
The goal of conversation is to understand and be understood. The issue today is that many people have forgotten they have one mouth and two ears, and that kindness goes a long way. Paul reminds you to let your words be gracious (Colossians 4:6), building up one another in love (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
Listening may be is easy, but really hearing what someone is communicating can be difficult. James 1:19 says, “Let every person be quick to hear.” True hearing is a love gift you give to the other person. Learning to listen to understand requires effort, being intentional and focused. In Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book Life Together, he calls listening a ministry.
He says not to listen with half an ear, waiting to jump in with your own comments. “Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them,” Bonhoeffer wrote, adding, “Listening can be a greater service than speaking.”
Enjoy conversation with family and friends. Listen with attention. Likewise, read and hear to understand the words of the Lord. Enter into prayer and bring your praises and needs to Him. Pray for Christian ministers and counselors to balance real listening with their advising.

Vinyl plank floor in living room is down. Today Jay will be working on transitions and then start on adapting the oak entertainment center to fit in the nook between the west end of the stone around the fireplace and the west living room wall.
Since our electronics are in that entertainment center and the cable from the Dish TV comes in through the floor in the corner that heavy piece of furniture must be able to be pulled out. to access the wiring to the various components coming in the back of it. So I have bought heavy duty felt sliders with adhesive backs that can be cut to fit. These will allow for far better weight distribution on the floor so the vinyl will not be damaged by heavy point pressure over time.
Jay will also add to shelves to the inside of the right side of entertainment center in the place where at one time a regular TV would have sat. It is such a beautiful piece of oak furniture and matches the oak looking floor and oak trim so well we just decided to repurpose it and have it appear to be built in.
The tile protective area in front of the fireplace hearth is too small. So before we use the fireplace insert again we’ll need to get an insulated hearth rug to protect the vinyl planking from the heat.
One of these days I’m going to work on getting the smoke stains off the face of the stone above the hearth. Masons use a solution of muriatic acid to clean brick but I’ve only seen is used outside and not inside. Will have to do some research to see of their are safer and less toxic alternatives. And of course the insert, it’s metal surround, and the floor would have to be masked before the cleaning is done.
After the living room is done Jay will be installing a new back door that comes if from the deck. The old one is pretty ratty. The new door will be metal, insulated, and paneled with the window that has the built in mini blinds. We’ll paint it to fit in with the knotty pine paneling in the entryway/laundry room area where it will be located.
Oh, and BTW we have enough of the vinyl oak plank flooring left over to do the floor in the entryway/laundry room. That is a project I may do myself in the future.
rah, We used warm water, a small amount of dish detergent, and vinegar with a fairly stiff brush
Good results and no masks necessary.
Today and this weekend Sherry I work on getting the doors and frames ready for Jay to install, which should happen Monday or Tuesday next week.

3/22/2024 – The Blessings of prosperity and riches are for taking care of our poor and needy
Deuteronomy 15:7-11 “If there be among you a poor man of one of your brethren within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother: but you shall open your hand wide unto him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wants. Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry unto the LORD against you, and it be sin unto you. You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand unto. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall open your hand wide unto your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land.”
There is not a single commandment in the Bible, that man is not able to do, if he is willing and obedient. Whatever the matter may require, whether towards God, or towards man; it is always about love and being of the truth in our heart. If any should see his brother or sister have need of the common necessities of life, and he have it in his power to give to his poor brother or sister; that is God’s commandment to love and care for one another. And according to this word; it is the reason why God does bless with prosperity and wealth; for taking care of those who need help and mercy from their brother.
It is not whether the rich, and the blessed, are uncapable to have mercy, and to open their hand wide for taking care of their poor and their needy in their land; but it is the thoughts in their wicked heart, and that it grieves them to help. It’s not because “they can’t help it,” because, “they’re only human;” but because they calculate the cost to themselves as too high; and so to have an evil eye toward their poor brother, doesn’t cost them a thing, except a good conscience. And it is pure selfishness that makes a man harden his heart and think wicked thoughts, so he doesn’t have to give of his good to help the poor.
But what the man who is rich towards himself, with no care for God or his poor brother, does not consider; is that God has brought the poor to his gate, because he has wherewith to help. It was God who brought Lazarus and laid him at the rich man’s gate every day, because He knew that He had blessed and prospered this man, and he was well able to help him. The rich man had all his wealth and prosperity from the LORD; and his poor brother was his to care for, with the good that God had bestowed upon him.
Luke 16:19-25 “There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you art tormented.”
We all need to remember the poor, and those who are weak and in need; whatever the weakness or need might be; and have compassion one for another; and remember that we are also recipients of the Lord’s mercy and grace. There may be someone whom the Lord is bringing to you every day, and laying that poor person at your gate, because He knows that you have more than enough and to spare. And every day you have an opportunity; but you also have a moral decision to take, to either do what is right, and humble yourself and be kind; or else to keep searing your conscience with a hot iron, till its past feeling; and you die and go to hell.
Even Cain might not have come to the end he did, if he was only willing to humble himself and do what he knew was right; but he chose his pride, and to have no part of faith in Christ, nor to fear God: so he also thought nothing of abandoning his brother to death, even death at his own hand!
Proverbs 24:12 “If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not He that ponders the heart consider it? And He that keeps your soul, does not He know it? And shall not He render to every man according to his works?”
James 2:13-18 “For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has shown no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment. What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit? Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. Indeed, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

Paul Harvey on the climate scam:
thank you Rah… love this man and his voice is unmistakable.. speaks the truth. There is a video
in which Paul describes the 56 signers of the Constitution and another on the Star Spangled Banner
and the meaning of those words both had me in tears. To know what others have sacrificed
for our freedom is really overwhelming. Peace to you
I have been wanting to say this for a very long time:
Thank You All For This Thread. I consider it my personal, daily read to practise an “Anti-Dementia Exercise” for my brain.
Whether it be an old song, film clip or historical facts, your comments test and awaken my memories. I find, especially, the old songs helpful.
I sing them in my head first, and if I can’t, I click on the Link. Mostly I surprise myself!
Very useful way to start any day.
Again, Thank You All!

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.
