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 †

Motnin’ dear Patience 🙂 Don’t think I ever wore a vest at this age . . . but still . . . 🙂
never wore a vest at this age…
you still have time. LOL
Still don’t own a vest. . . not a single one . . yet, dear ‘Woo.
Garrison: That’s a nice piece. I like the more contemporary sound, verus the usual classical guitar repetoire, which, to me, in general, sounds better on piano!
Heresy!!!! . . . Well, not really. I get your point. I enjoy piano music too. 🙂
Good day Garrison. Here is an old favorite of ours for your listening pleasure this afternoon/evening. I find these pieces to be consistently super enchanting. I never tire of listening to them on this guitar (Torres) , in this setting, by this artist, Charles Trepat. I truly hope you are having a great day, my treehouse amigo.
That Trepat concert is a real gem. Torres is famous for having created the modern classical guitar design. His instruments are prized possessions.

Awesome thanks
James 1:15 informs us that when lust(power/control) conceives, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished brings forth death.
So, let’s see if we can apply a real life example to this truth.
Let’suppose there are two, genetic deviants(variants), Omicron and Delta, that hook up together.
What would they name their subvariant offspring?

How does a blind person paint a masterpiece, or, someone with no sense of touch become a superb sculptor, or, someone with no taste buds become the greatest chef, or, someone with no sense of smell become a world class perfumier? Other than by divine intervention, I don’t know. What I know for sure is that 200 years ago today in Vienna a totally deaf man premiered this symphony he composed (writing every note for every instrument plus vocals for soloists and chorus and not being able to hear any of it):
A Gaza answer from Quora website:
What is the main source of water supply in Palestine (Gaza)? Why isn’t there any alternative solution to this issue?
Israel was supplying Gaza with water prior to October 7, 2023.
After Hamas’s terror attack killed 1,400 civilians and took 250 hostages, Israel stopped providing water.
As for why there’s no alternative solution — there was, back in 2005. When Israel unilaterally withdrew all of its settlers and military personnel from Gaza in 2005 and turned it over to the Palestinians to self-govern, they left behind a fully functional water desalination plant capable of producing enough water for the entire enclave, plus miles of underground pipes to distribute the water.
When Hamas came to power in Gaza in 2006, one of the first things they did was to destroy the water desalination plant (because it had been built by the hated Jews) and dug up the underground water pipes to use them to make homemade rockets to shoot at Israel.
So — if Gazans have no water, it’s entirely Hamas’s doing.
emphasis:
“dug up the underground water pipes to use them to make homemade rockets to shoot at Israel”
WATCH – Anti-Israel Protester at UCLA Encampment: ‘We Don’t Like White People’ (breitbart.com)
In a viral clip that has been making the rounds on social media in recent days, an anti-Israel protester at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) can be heard dismissing a counter-protester because he is a “white person.”
“You’re just a white person; you’re a white person [so] get out — we don’t like white people,” the keffiyeh-wearing woman insisted before chanting, “Free Palestine” as she waved a Palestinian flag.
Journalist Cam Higby, who challenged the woman and filmed it, explained that she was “speaking Arabic” and “screaming about Jewish colonizers,” when he confronted her and accused her of “being mad that Hamas is hiding behind civilians.”
“You’re just a white person, we don’t like white people” welcome to the UCLA Palestine encampment
According to Higby, the woman, who appears to identify as fully Palestinian, attempted to attack him after their interaction.
Many took to social media to call out the true agenda and “racist” nature of the protests.
“Anti-white, Anti-Jewish, Anti-American, Anti-capitalism, Anti-freedom, Anti-Western Civilization,” wrote political writer Ryan James Girdusky.
“This is their ideology,” he added. “Beat them before they govern you.”
people ask my opinion about Tusi Gabbard and I don’t have much of one, but here’s a piece of news today
FBI Visited Tulsi Gabbard’s Friend In Rural Hawaii For Disturbing, Dystopian Reason, She Tells Rogan
Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard told Joe Rogan a dystopian story about the FBI visiting her friend in rural Hawaii simply because he attended January 6.
He’s like ‘Yeah, they came and knocked on my door because I took my son to go and witness democracy.’ So they were part of those thousands of people who were out on the lawn of the capital. They didn’t arrest him, they didn’t charge him with anything … but how is it that years later, years later they go and find this guy and his family in a rural Mormon community in Lāʻie in Hawaii?” Gabbard asked, incensed.
“They’re capturing all of the data of people whose cell phones were pinging within that vicinity during that period of time, not only on January 6th, and they are continuing to widen that net, looking at flight records and who bought tickets and who booked hotels and all of this stuff for what?” she asked
“You’re going to go, the FBI is going to go and investigate people who showed up there on the lawn on the capital?”
“It is absolutely scare tactics,” Gabbard agreed. “So when we look at the power of the government and how they’re now turning on the American people for political reasons we can see where even the best of intentions with some of these pieces of legislation can lead to the very worst places,” Gabbard said.
“What to speak of the fact that we have limited resources and limited people, what are they not investigating?” she asked.
“You talked about the DEA, what about the FBI and all these millions of people coming across our border? Are they tracking who they are? No, they’re not. Are they tracking where they’re going? No, they’re not. We have no idea. People coming from the Middle East and Asia and Eastern Europe and Venezuela, gang members, like all of this stuff is happening right before our very eyes and they’re going and knocking on my friend’s door in Lāʻie because he brought his 14-year-old son to Washington D.C. that week?” Gabbard questioned.
“And here’s the question,” Rogan postured. “Was the FBI there? How many people were there and how come they don’t have to answer that?” he asked.
“Exactly,” Gabbard agreed. “Why not be transparent?”
Thoughtful comments, Nim. Thanks for posting this.
thx, Garrison, but it’s only the 1st sentence that’s in my voice
Israel Update:
This is relatively a short update but I got some very good videos following so don’t miss it!
-A manipulative move of Hamas in coordination with the Biden’s Administration and Qatar.
Moments before the IDF was entering Rafah Hamas announces that they “Accepted the deal”.
Apparently they have a deal with Americans guaranties that the war will end. This is after CIA Director met the Egyptians and Qataris. This is not a deal that Israel agreed to.
Basically a deal that guaranty the survival of Hamas and their ability to emerge victorious, rebuild and do another 10/7.
This deal was cunningly announced to the Gazans who got into celebrations (See video later). It was announced to the Russians and Chinese who congratulated it.
On top of it in an Arab publication I see that even the 33 Israeli hostages who were suppose to be released are not all “33 living hostages”. There was a clause: “33 dead and alive Israelis will be released”.
Also about 900 terrorists to be released.
This was in simple words “A scam”.
-Biden’s Speaker placed the “prevention of Israel entry of Rafah and the end of the war” as the new goal of the Administration. In the beginning it was “destroying Hamas and freeing hostages”. Now the position of Biden and Hamas are the same.
-The IDF started operation in Gaza. The Givati Brigade along with Tanks Brigade and heavy air support moved in. East Gaza was evacuated and I don’t know yet all your detail of what’s going on there. I know there are about a 100,000 people who were given alerts and time to move. In some hours they were all moved away into well organized humanitarian zones in Khan Yunis. The zones are well controlled with better organization than previously was criticized.
So far as of 2:30Am East US time we know that the IDF:
~Conquered the Rafah Crossing to Egypt.
~Killed at least 20 terrorists.
~ Moving into the East area of Rafah.
~An explosive car was neutralized.
~Three tunnel shafts were located.
~No casualties to our forces.
Note: Trying to figure out what it’s all about is not simple as in war there are misdirectors,
but here is what I can share: Bibi a couple of days ago in a Holocaust Memorial Day gave a very good passionate speech. He said that “the lies about Israel, the threats of court actions, the resistance from various places will NOT stop Israel from achieving the goals of the war and if we have to be lonely and do it alone we will do it. “. This was a clear message to Biden and was even partly in English to stress it.
There are statements from the Prime Minister office and War Cabinet member about the operation in Rafah that suggests it as a part of the pressure to get a hostage deal.
Not as an operation to “crush Hamas” but as a “pressure”.
At the same time we see Israelis going to Cairo for more negotiations but not top level negotiators.
A US Official said that it’s “a pin pointed limited operation”.
So from all of this I can assume that the IDF is going to move slowly and bite pieces of Rafah with minimizing the stress points with the Western World pressures and increasing pressure in Hamas. Hopefully the key target is the Philadelphi Corridor (the border area of Gaza and Egypt that contains the many tunnels which enabled Hamas to arm itself over the years).
The idea is that negotiation under fire will be more effective.
In my opinion Israel should withdraw all its offers and change the reality. Then get a much better deal. But that would be not so possible in view of the families of the hostages and the many who place the hostages above the defeat of Hamas.
But I feel a change with Bibi. Your prayers must have worked and he is showing strength under all the suppression.
The dismantling of Hamas in Rafah is necessary to crush this terror organization.
Thank you friends!
God Bless you!
Prayers for the soldiers!
“But I feel a change with Bibi. Your prayers must have worked and he is showing strength under all the suppression.”
I suspect he has FULLY recognized now the absolute treachery of the Biden government towards succcessful prosecution of the war by Israel
If there was ANY sliver of doubt remaining, this latest attempted card trick laid it all absolutely bare
Actually I suspect he already fully recognized that treachery, but that this latest betrayal gives him greater public freedom to fully disregard Biden/Blinken/Jakey Sullivan’s attempts to shoehorn Israel’s actions
May God bless and protect Israel and ensure in her success
Thank you my friend. I think you’re right. There is now a Wall Street Journal article about vital munitions purchases that Biden is withholding from Israel for over a month now.
I really hope Trump wins on Nov. This is existential for the US too.
Hamas is already crying they want a cease fire. Claiming they have accepted terms that Israel never offered. The terrorist leadership sees the writing on the wall and are now the rats are really starting to scramble.
This was before the entry to Rafah areas. They said “deal”. In fact it was the “scam deal”.
Israel moved in anyways. There is no suggestion for an acceptable deal.
They want a full withdrawal of the IDF and the end of the war with guaranties from the US and others.
A US Official said that the agreed deal with the US and what they now propose has only “minor differences.”
LOL. They only changes. It no longer “ 33 live hostages released”, it now “33 live or dead hostages released”.
Hamas is playing with everyone. They need to be pushed to the limit.
33 my a$$, live or dead
what’s the initial number captured? over 100, wasn’t it?
how many unaccounted for?
Biden administration has held up delivery of Joint Direct Attack Munitions as it pressures its ally not to go into Rafah.
Link behind a paywall:
https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-delays-sending-precision-weapons-to-israel-253f12f0?page=1
The Biden administration has delayed the sale of thousands of precision weapons to Israel, raising questions about whether the U.S. is deliberating slowing the delivery of weapons to its top Middle East ally amid growing domestic political pressure.
The U.S. decision also comes as the administration is pushing back on Israel’s declared plan to launch an attack on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The White House has publicly resisted calls to limit weapons sales despite mounting criticism about the death toll and destruction within Gaza through U.S.-provided weapons.
The US does not sell bombs to Israel, it sells the precision guided JDAM kits to install on the bombs Israel already has.
JDAM kits have allowed Israel to deploy bombs with the precision needed to to attack Hamas terrorists.
Biden has created a situation where there could be worse Gaza civilian casualties, Hamas casualties and more casualties of Israeli troops by withholding the JDAM kits. Yes, less-precise likely means more collateral damage to civilians.
So Biden, Blinken, and of course Nod(whomever that is) are laying a trap to reach the desired result in the next election…
dogsmaw: Precision munitions do not win wars. It’s better that Israel use munitions that produe more extensive damage.
So Biden, Blinken, and of course Nod(whomever that is)
Nod = Jakey Sullivan, architect of the US Forces catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal
I suspect a rather canny subterfuge may have taken place. The Biden admin needed space but, looking at some curious communications from both Israel and the US, here’s what I think ‘may’ have happened: The US may have supplied Israel with ample munitions for an invasion of Rafa ‘before’ condemning Israel’s military action. This may all be a shuck-and-jive to allow a win-win solution to a difficult domestic dilemma.
Garrison: Yes, domestic US politics is a big factor in how the conduct of this “war” is presented in the media. The White House is more interested in political games than in simply doing what should be done.
I don’t know if you noticed but there is a very Biblical aspect to this war.
It feels like witnessing one of the Biblical unwritten chapters.
There are some things that you see in Israel that you may not be aware of.
Israel had over 370,000 soldiers called in. This proportionally be equal to
20,000,000 Americans who would be willing to give up their lives for the nation.
This is unparalleled in any Western Society of our times.
We are seeing a very strong religious aspect to the soldiers. A lot of prayers and a significant number of heroic actions of individuals.
I translated the following video. It is a prayer before entering Rafah.
For thousands of years Israel’s warriors would pray with the same prayers before war.
The High Priest would lead the prayer. In this video I believe that the person who leads the prayer is the Chief IDF Rabbi.
This is in a different format. You can see more. The other one somehow cut too much.
David: This is what is needed. Not the Army of the Government of Israel, but the Army of the Jewish People.
❤️
You are 100% correct–this is a spiritual war, not just a physical war. Of course, any time anyone tries to destroy Israel, it is a matter of great concern to God because His name is at stake. If satan were able to destroy the Jewish people, he would make God a liar. That will never happen, but satan keeps trying.
I read an account on Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram about one of the early reserve soldiers who was issued a rifle that had not been used or serviced in a while. When he went into battle, it worked perfectly, firing every round. After he handed the rifle in after the fight, he was told: This rifle is broken. There’s NO WAY it could have fired.
Now THAT is the hand of God taking care of His chosen people!
I pray often for Israel–for victory, for protection, for peace, and most of all, that everyone will return to the God who loves them.
Thank you.
Amen, Kudzu… amen.
🙏🏻
🇮🇱 🙏 💪 ❤️ 🎶 David: This is so uplifting and beautiful.
Thank you for sourcing and translating all of these videos for us, especially so quickly.
David, you are a God-send to us all here at CTH. ☀️
🙏 God Bless you and all of Israel, including the IDF, Leaders, and Hostages, with comfort, strength, quick success, spiritual nourishment, good health, love, wisdom, continued answers to your prayers, and access to all the munitions needed NOW.
Amen. ❤️ 🙏 🇮🇱
Shalom to all of you. 🎶 ☀️ 🎶
Amen.
“….there is a very Biblical aspect to this war.” There is a “biblical” aspect to every event involving the Holy Land. Echoes and ripples on through time.

Gazans celebrate the fake Hostage Deal that Hamas promoted.
They yell : “We are your soldiers Muhammed Deif”.
Muhammed Deif is the Military Leader of Hamas.
A truly psychopath who wants nothing but Jewish blood.
This is like yelling “We are your soldiers Hitler”.
The “innocents”. The crowd that Biden can’t stop to “worry” about along with his Party.
I believe that he allocated some 9 Billion dollars of American money just for them.
Sorry for my extra sarcastic hostile tone. I should be able to just look at it as it is and not react.
It is what it is. Evil forces internationally aligned . They will all lose!

Yesterday I wrote a report on a nasty tornado hitting Barnsdall, OK and then heading towards Bartlesville. No foul language. No links. But it went into the bin. I edited out all of the text and just wrote “Bull Crap” and then went to bed.
I saw and still don’t see any possible excuse for that post being put into moderation at 23:30 a night.
I have found that once in the bin … no editing will change its status, try new post with minimal info … then add to it … photo/content addresses with banned “words” buried in them are the biggest offender.(for me anyway, esp that 3 letter Brit word for a smoke)
Make sure no DOTgXf for photos … those all go to the bin.
You can d/l the DOTgXf when they post them (instead of png’s and the like) and convert to jpg & repost to postimages … don’t think the gov (others might) will complain, it is stale news in 24 hours anyway for weather. (set to 7 day expire, not sure how long it takes for spiders to find content to flag)
Rare for me to get anything outta the bin, for me I find a different file … if copy write owner gets everything banned … gets dropped from notices permanently.
Hope this helps.
went to bin with the name of a banned extension the first time
Nothing but text in that post that went into moderation and no foul language. Like I said, I see no possible legitimate reason for that happening.
“Nasty” was the worst word used in the post.
Rob, here’s the video out about Barnsdall…
Yea! I’ve seen a couple including that one. Thanks.
Still no official report on the EF scale or casualties. It hit a mobile home park BTW. There were only 17 tornadoes reported for this outbreak and this one was by far the worst.
Here is what Joe Bastardi is saying about it.
“The Barnsdale tornado was standout event in a situation where a high risk area, the only one issued this year, has had only 17 tornadoes while an enhanced risk ( the morning of the event) produced 144. This shows a lot of work still has to be done on tornado forecasting. After all what is the average for high risk events, vs enhanced? A question for the guru,.
@USWeatherExpert“
BTW that 17 count is a preliminary number. May have been a few more.

MORNING
Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled. Matt. 24:6
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Psa. 46:1-3
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. Isa. 26:20, 21
In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psa. 57:1
Your life is hid with Christ in God. Col. 3:3
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Psa. 112:7
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
EVENING
They persecute him whom thou hast smitten. Psa. 69:26
It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! Luke 17:1
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. Acts 2:23
They did spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? Matt. 26:67, 68
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross. Matt. 27:41, 42
Of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. Acts 4:27, 28
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isa. 53:4

A friend gifted me a palm sized leather version of Bagster’s book, with update by A.G.Lotz. In addition to reading it daily, my favorite readings are while riding shotgun in the truck with my husband. I read it aloud, we discuss every nuance, then go to each Bible verse the reading includes. Leading to off topic questions, further investigated in the Bible. Our truck Bible, https://www.davidjeremiah.org/jeremiahstudybible/store# . (zero $$$ to me if you take the link.)
The friend who gave me the book , gave it to all of her children many years ago, now grown and gone, their entire family reads it daily, often with texts between them about the day’s reading. Daily Light Devotional Leather Bound – October 22, 1998by A.G. Lotz, as accent to Bagster’s inspired work.
“Daily Light is a 365-day morning and evening devotional by Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz. The revered classic includes NKJV readings for every morning and evening of the year…”
BUILDING FOR ETERNITY
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” Luke xiv. 28
Our Lord refers not to a cost we have to count, but to a cost which He has counted. The cost was those thirty years in Nazareth, those three years of popularity, scandal and hatred, the deep unfathomable agony in Gethsamane, and the onslaught at Calvary – the pivot upon which the whole of Time and Eternity turns. Jesus Christ has counted the cost. Men are not going to laugh at Him at last and say – “This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”
The conditions of discipleship laid down by Our Lord in vv. 26, 27 and 33 mean that the men and women He is going to use in His mighty building enterprises are those in whom He has done everything. “If any man come to Me, and hate not…, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.” Our Lord implies that the only men and women He will use in His building enterprises are those who love Him personally, passionately and devotedly beyond any of the closest ties on earth. The conditions are stern, but they are glorious.
All that we build is going to be inspected by God. Is God going to detect in His searching fire that we have built on the foundation of Jesus some enterprise of our own? These are days of tremendous enterprises, days when we are trying to work for God, and therein is the snare. Profoundly speaking, we can never work for God. Jesus takes us over for HIS enterprises, HIS building schemes entirely, and no soul has any right to claim where he shall be put.

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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
THE SPIRIT OF GOD
We each have gifts given by God at birth
These gifts like virtues expound our worth
The fruits are like actions virtues produce
These presents the Spirit comes to induce
Prompted by the Spirit the gifts bear fruit
Without the Spirit the gifts are but moot
Gifts bear fruit with the aid of the Spirit
Devoid of the Spirit we cannot clear it
The Spirit lives inside of the believer
The presence of fruits Spirit achiever
Indwelling is proof of the Spirit within
Through Him with Him the work can begin
It has been said the gifts there are seven
With the nine fruits we are blessed by heaven
Through prayer and practice our gifts blossom
And the fruits that advance are quite awesome
Understanding Knowledge and Wisdom
Counsel Piety Fortitude system
The Fear of the Lord all give a good start
The Spirit inside us blesses the heart
The action derived from the work we do
The fruits that are seen will benefit you
Filled with Love Goodness Kindness and Peace
Then Joy Patience Gentleness Faith increase
With Perseverance we cannot go wrong
Aligned with the Spirit where we belong
What wondrous ability you can accrue
When the Spirit of God lives inside of you

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – IT’S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM – [7 May 2024] [Heard May 5, 2024]
‘
Your enemies are stepping up their game. Attacks naturally and physically and spiritually are coming to a degree you’ve not experienced before. These things will intensify against you BUT YOU STEP UP YOUR GAME IN THE SPIRIT. YOU STAND FIRM AND STAND STRONG. YOU SHOUT MY NAME FROM THE ROOFTOPS. YOU SPEAK AND SHOUT MY WORDS FOR YOUR ENEMIES NOT ONLY TO HEAR BUT TO CAUSE DAMAGE, TO DESTROY AND TO ANNIHILATE THEM AND THEIR STRATEGIES AGAINST YOU AND YOUR NATIONS. MY CHILDREN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS. YOU DO NOT JUST SIT IDLY BY WHILE YOUR ENEMIES DESTROY THIS EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
As they try to intensify things against you, I’M INTENSIFYING THINGS AGAINST THEM. At the same time I’m increasing My presence. It will be known and be seen by My children, because the IMPOSSIBLE TURNING INTO THE POSSIBLE. SICKNESS, AFFLICTION, TORMENT, SLAVERY, BONDAGE, YOU’LL BREAK OUT, BREAK FORTH, BREAKTHROUGH AND BREAK FREE FROM IT ALL.
As they intensify things against you My judgment will intensify against them. I am your Protector. I am your Deliverer. NO FOE CAN WITHSTAND MY POWER AND I WILL MAKE IT KNOWN MORE IN MY CHILDREN IN THIS TIME OF INTENSITY. Your enemies are on a rampage and a warpath to annihilate any hope you may have left. They want you under the greatest amount of pressure and attacks so you will stop praying and stop fighting them back. Both sides can feel the pressure but the difference is My children, you can break out of it when your enemies are stuck with no way of escaping. The amount of failure they’re experiencing and it will continue to grow. They’re in a no-win situation. They are trapped and they are stuck. Their desperation is growing and their desperation is clear. I have told you before the more desperate they become, the more mistakes they make and the weaker they are. So now is a time. Pray against Hamas. Pray against China.
