Hindrances to Prayer
Because of Jesus, nothing can make you unwelcome
in your Father’s presence.
We can come before Almighty God in prayer.
Our heavenly Father is waiting to listen to our praise,
confession, and requests.

To know thyself is to examine not our “good” and say it is of our doing, it is to know the evil we are capable of. It has no limits.
We are not whole but incomplete, broken. Our Lord, through the reading of the manual, meditating on it, prayer, we develop who he is and a relationship forms, church and pastors cannot accomplish this, some, few, can guide. It is an individual process. Even then the success of “good” we may gather is our Lord through us. To consider otherwise is sin, separation. Ego will fatten itself on this. (If you don’t know EGO it is the one that stands in the very front of you, so familiar that you allow it to seat there and dictate your perception. Kill it, it is a lie)
A man is wise to dive deep within himself, allow himself to see that truth. Purpose in his heart, to position himself “what is violent”, understanding it must be controlled by him and no other. If it is not recognized it will be of no use only destruction, of himself and others. It must be accounted for at all times, or this world will extract it if we deny its existence.
Is God righteous in judgement? We must not deny this truth to see its fulfillment and purpose.

It is by the grace of God we are not annihilated at any time. That our thoughts do not overtake us and drive us to evil. Even our desire to do evil is used by our Lord to turn us toward his mercy. To know God is his mercy, to reverence him is to be blessed by God, he is love, and truth. There cannot be coincidence, and to know and believe in purpose at all times is to allow freedom to understand our Lord.
To bring all of this into perspective is to realize life is a vapor, a very brief moment in eternity. Our greatest moments are selfless decisions, they heal and should reveal our path. All decisions are easier when others are considered first in that decision, in love.
Just consider abortion in that context. So many decisions we make become simple, not easy. A smile is the easiest way to bless another.

Good morning all.

To all those that replied to my message about teeth and corn yesterday and I did not have chance to reply to, Thank you!

Today my neighbor Steve is taking Betty in for her 2nd and last knee replacement surgery so I’ll be taking care of Steve’s animals for the next couple days.

As I write this Sherry has a big Eye of round roast in the crockpot. She’ll be making beef and vegetable soup today and we’ll take big pot over tomorrow to Steve and Betty when Steve brings her back from the hospital because Betty loves it and so Steve won’t have to worry about cooking while he takes care of her the next few days. 

I will finally have the foundation for the whole house generator done today. I caulked the gaps in the pavers with clear FlexSeal and today I will spray the whole thing with more clear FlexSeal. That should keep the freeze thaw cycle from separating or dismounting the pavers. Generator is on a trailer here ready to mount but it’s 500 lbs so I will be waiting for some nephews to come and put it on the foundation. Then a cousin that is a certified electrician will hook it up for me. Never again should we be without power.

The generator is not shipped with a battery for starting it. I bought an class 35 AGM 12 V battery with 670 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps)for it. Those gel batteries are expensive but do not require a battery heater in sub zero temps as a regular wet cell battery would. The way this works is the battery gets trickle charged by your homes regular power as it sits to maintain it’s charge. When the generator is running it charges the battery.

The unit will self start and run for 15 minutes every 30 days in a self check. But that is not enough to keep a battery charged, especially in cold weather.

Just so anyone thinking about getting one of these things knows. The size of a generator is described by the amount of electricity it produces. The Generac I boght is sold a 26 kW (Guardian). However that 26 kW capacity is NOT what it would produce fueled by natural gas. Propane provides more energy than natural gas per a given volume. So the one I am installing that will run off natural gas will provide 22.5 kW of power even though it’s sold as having a 26kW capacity . That 22.5 kW is more than enough to run even an extra large 3 bedroom two bath home with the HVAC and appliances I have.

The sunspots just keep coming.

They keep predicting this solar cycle (25) to peak but ole Sol is not cooperating. But it is likely not going to go much higher from here and start the down slope.

The sunspot count is the longest continuous observation record in science.

LIVE: PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERS REMARKS ON CRIME AND SAFETY IN HOWELL, MI – 8/20/24

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks on crime and safety in Howell, Michigan, on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. ET. 

Watch LIVE on RSBN starting at 2:00 p.m. ET.

RSBN will have their normal great coverage.

I posted this in another thread as a reply, but it fits here, too.

I personally believe we are in the very last days preceding the Tribulation and Great Tribulation in the Bible.
I don’t see things (in general around the earth-not counting the bright moments God gives us as followers of His Son Jesus Christ and even the unjust while still in this age of Grace) getting brighter until Jesus returns riding on the clouds, shining like the sun, to clean up this fallen world firsthand.

To me, things are lining up as prophesied. So, evil and darkness and wretchedness increasing, and permeating the mindset of the lost is right on schedule.

The beast system continues to be stood up and “fleshed out” (pun intended).

It is imperative for all who have not done so, to call on Jesus and ask Him to save you before time runs out. I do believe we are closer than we think.

Romans 10:
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God bless you all. Pray for the lost-God’s arm is not shortened that anyone willing is out of His reach. Sometimes it takes prayer to move that willingness into place for those in the clutches of the enemy, even the very, very, very lost. Key word is whosoever.
God is Love.

No doubt about it. We’ve had a lot of tornadoes this year.

Perfect!

August 20

MORNING

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent. Num. 23:19

The Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Heb. 13:8

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psa. 91:4

God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Heb. 6:17, 18

The faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Deut. 7:9

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. Psa. 25:10

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God … which keepeth truth for ever. Psa. 146:5, 6

EVENING

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Prov. 24:10

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isa. 40:29

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. II Cor. 12:9

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him. Psa. 91:15

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee. Deut. 33:27

I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. Psa. 69:20

Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God,. . . who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way: so also Christ…. though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Heb. 5:1, 2, 5, 8, 9

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Isa. 53:4

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. – Psalm 127:3

The Bradley Intelligence Report at the end of last year said that since the COVID pandemic, population growth in the United States has been sluggish. The U.S. Census Bureau says the nation’s population will begin a decline in 2060, which Bradley says spells out “a substantial risk to economic and social stability in coming decades.”

Last month, Dr. Ben Carson, the former HUD Secretary and renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, discussed population decline, referring to God’s command to Adam and Eve to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). Current population growth, according to the National Center of Health Statistics, show women in America having an average of 1.3 biological children. “That isn’t multiplying,” Dr. Carson said, “It’s subtracting. To have two children breaks even. To multiply means three or more.”

 Notably, China’s old one-child policy was officially changed in August 2021 to a three-child policy. 

The “reproductive rights” euphemism for abortion is high on the policy list of many in the political arena. In June 2022, the Supreme Court declared that it is the states’ jurisdiction, through legislation or the votes of their people, to make policies regarding the restrictions on abortion and the protection of the unborn.

Many states have already enacted pro-life or pro-abortion policies, while others have measures on the ballot for voters this November.

It is unfortunate that so many people do not see children as a blessing.

Of today’s verse, theologian Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, “He gives children, not as a penalty nor as a burden, but as a favor. They are a token for good, if men know how to receive them, and educate them. They are ‘doubtful blessings’ only because we are doubtful persons.”

Texas pastor John Sypert said, “The Bible teaches that we’re made in the image of God, and that, therefore, each person on planet Earth has intrinsic value and worth. This is one of the most basic tenets of the Christian faith.”

A Whitney Houston song said, “I believe the children are our future.” So does God! Pray for families and women across the nation to recognize and value the life of the unborn.

Hezbollah fired around 75 rockets at the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights today. No injuries were reported, but several small fires were reported. The IDF responded by striking one of the launching areas. Overnight, the IDF struck Hezbollah weapons depots in Lebanon and killed a key Hezbollah terrorist in a drone strike. 

The IDF announced the recovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages during a night operation in a tunnel in Khan Younis, as part of a new offensive in the area: Abraham Munder, Alex Dancyg, Chaim Peri, Yagev Buchshtab, Yoram Metzger and Nadav Popplewell. The hostages were believed to have been killed in Khan Younis earlier this year, also the causes of their deaths are still being investigated. 

Abraham Munder, 79, had lived in Kibbutz Nir Oz for over 50 years. A Six-Day War veteran and the legendary warehouse manager at the Nirlat factory, Abraham was a beloved kibbutz member known for his hard work, loyalty, and musical talent as a singer in the Eshkol choir. He was kidnapped with his wife Ruth, their daughter Karen, and grandson Ohad. The three family members were released after 50 days in captivity. Abraham and Ruth’s son Roy was murdered on October 7th.

Yoram Metzger, 80, from Kibbutz Nir Oz, was kidnapped from his home with his wife, Tamar, who was released after 53 days. Yoram was known for his love of family, storytelling, and humor. He was a founder of the Nir Oz Winery and is survived by Tamar, three children, and seven grandchildren.

Chaim Peri, 80, from Kibbutz Nir Oz, was a man of peace, art, and cinema. He taught at local schools and Sapir College and established the kibbutz’s art gallery and sculpture garden. Chaim was abducted while protecting his wife, Osnat, and is survived by her, five children, and 13 grandchildren.

Alex Dancyg, 76, from Kibbutz Nir Oz, was a historian, educator, and farmer. Born to Holocaust survivors, he helped establish educational delegations to Poland and worked at Yad Vashem for about 30 years. Alex spent his time in captivity giving history lectures to fellow captives.

Nadav Popplewell, 51, from Kibbutz Nirim, was known for his generosity and love of books and science fiction. He was kidnapped with his mother, Channa Peri, who was released after 49 days. His older brother, Roy, was murdered on October 7th. The Popplewell family requests privacy during this time.

Yagev Buchshtab, 35, from Kibbutz Nirim, was a sound technician with a deep passion for music. Yagev played various instruments and cared for several rescued pets. He was abducted with his wife, Rimon Buchshtab-Kirsht, who was released after 50 days.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said today, “Israel will not, under any circumstances, leave the Philadelphi and Nezarim corridors despite the enormous pressures to do so. These are strategic assets, both military and political.” He also reportedly said that he was doubtful that there would be a ceasefire agreement. Hamas has rejected a U.S. backed proposal agreed to be Israel. 

National Intelligence Directorate recently warned the defense establishment about a potential escalation in the West Bank. There are currently at least 15 armed “battalions” of Palestinian terrorists throughout the West Bank. Potential scenarios include a new wave of suicide bombings, increased shooting attacks, or even an October 7th type attack against settlements and isolated farms in the territories. To read more, click here.  

The Tel Aviv Police Chief said that the terrorist who, apparently accidentally, prematurely blew himself up in southern Tel Aviv on Sunday was most likely heading for a nearby synagogue. Had he made it there, the results would have been tragic. He said, “it was truly a miracle.”

Lieutenant Shahar Ben Nun, 21, from Petah Tikva, a commander in the Paratroopers Brigade’s Paratroopers Reconnaissance Unit, was killed by friendly fire during a raid in Khan Younis. Six other soldiers were wounded in the incident. 

I find myself increasingly disheartened by the madness that has become of my Nation. But find no small amount of comfort at the shared empathy and wisdom on this website. That it is here and maintained is truly a public service.

Thank You.

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.

Man, I found the AR-15 rifle I really want at an online auction. A colt with a heavy match barrel and scope. Take .223 or NATO 5.56. When I saw it was $855.00 for the top bid. I was going to bid $1,200. The bid they show only goes up $30.00 above the next highest bid until a new bid goes higher than your bid. This keeps people from putting in a bid in the last five minutes and overloading the site with very late bids.

1/2 hr later when I went to register to bid it had gone up to $2,505.00. Not worth that! But that rifle was exactly the AR that I have been looking for except I would want an effective flash suppressor. I suspect I could build a new match rifle for what that high bid is.

Ah well.

PROPHETIC WORD:

JGM – THE PERFECT STORM IS ABOUT TO TAKE A SURPRISING TURN AND HIT WASHINGTON HEAD ON 

[20 August 2024] [Word heard – August 16, 2024] 

My children I’m about to show you all the criminals in your capital, the crime families, the mob bosses, the handlers, the puppets, the fall men. Every aspect of this Establishment will be torn apart and exposed to the world. I will show you every crime against this nation, every partaker of them, the architects, the blueprints, the end game or the plan to end Pres Trump and this nation. I will show you every crime scene and who covered them up. I’m opening the door wide on this darkness and all the wicked schemes they have made to bring the world to its knees and under their control. 

My children, when all this takes place, things will shake uncontrollably, spiritually and politically. Think of how things shook in Egypt when I ripped Pharaoh’s power and empire away and forced him to give everything he had and give it to My people. This is the same thing but on a larger scale. These criminals have had their time in the spotlight but now it’s time for these criminals to be sentenced for their crimes. There are many witnesses to their crimes and the ones who designed them have no idea people are willing to turn on them. Whistle-blowers are becoming bolder now, seeing there are weaknesses and divisions in this Establishment they used to be a part of – so they can see the light of their departure from the hell of being in fear on a continual basis, wondering and trying to protect their families from the ones who have threatened to take their lives. Whistle-blowers will come out from every direction seeing there is a chance for their freedom and safety. 

My children, prepare for the judgment that’s about to rain down against the Establishment and the globalists for destroying My nations and the world I designed for you freely to enjoy. Judgments will strike like the plagues of Egypt.

CHILLING REPORT FROM HOLLAND’S Prime Minister Geert Wilders

Every word in this paper has deep thought-provoking effects.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. 

There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. 

We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself. 

It is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States was the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. 

All throughout Europe, a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. 

And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well.

It’s the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders, if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I can not read. 

You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. 

These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . 

These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, and city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. 

In every European city, there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille, and Malmo in Sweden . 

In many cities, the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighbourhoods.

 Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. 

In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. 

Non-Muslim women routinely hear ‘whore, whore’. 

Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. 

Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves.

Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. 

French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . 

I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization. A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live.

San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. 

Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers.

And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. 

But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. 

One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. 

The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. 

Muslims demand what they call ‘respect’. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. 

We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieues. I call the perpetrators ‘settlers’. Because that is what they are. 

They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. 

Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. 

His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. 

Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. 

But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. 

Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed.

Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. 

If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. 

But in its essence Islam is a political ideology.

It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. 

Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means ‘submission’. 

Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. 

If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most retrograde force in the world’, and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. 

The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative and sees Israel as the aggressor. 

I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. 

First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial advance. 

Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. 

Israel is simply in the way. 

The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. 

It is jihad. 

Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.

If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.

Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities.

But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. 

On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam.

They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. 

If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’.

In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. 

Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. 

The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. 

With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem.

Liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish.

My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. 

We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe ‘s children in the same state in which it was offered to us. 

We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.

Future generations would never forgive us. 

We cannot squander our liberties. 

We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

Please take the time to read and understand what is written here, 

Please send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.

Welp they call them windrows

Found another home-grown treatment, this time for what appeared to be a toothache….

Had this happen once before and, after some reading before doing the dentist thing, I tried a cloves poultice in the area to deaden the pain and see what happened. As it turned out, a discoloration turned up under the gum by the painful tooth and, after sterilizing the area and my dental tools I opened the gum up and found, to my amazement, a partially dissolved blackberry seed.

So, when a molar with a crown recently started exhibiting similar symptoms, I pulled the crown off, inspected the tooth and applied a similar poultice along the gum line and, about 3 hours later, I rinsed and found a similar discoloration under the gum.

It turned out to be what I believe is a partially dissolved piece of krinkle cut potato chip. I had bought a bag of Kettle brand chips and they were pretty hard so I think a piece got between the gum and crown and down into the root area, causing inflammation and pain. I performed a similar excision, adhered the crown, and have monitored. The pain took about a day to subside.

What I did both times was take some acetaminophen with codeine to deaden the pain while I was working and during recovery. Yes, I have, as a prepper, plenty of supplies and medical equipment for routine things.

Most folks would go to a dentist, sure, but I saved about six months of groceries taking care of things myself. As an old guy, my days are numbered anyway. With most non-life-threatening things I use the two week rule. If I can’t fix it in two weeks, then I get help.

So, cloves, the spice, has more uses than just a spice, or so I’ve found. Also, those headband type headlamps work great for doing dental work in the mirror. The hands-free light adjusts for great lighting in the mouth. That and a handheld dental mirror make it just like the dentist’s office.

“Uncle Tom II is an odyssey depicting the gradual demoralization of America through Marxist infiltration of its institutions. The film explores how this deceptive ideology has torn apart the fabric of society while using black America as its number one tool for its destruction.

From Executive Producer Larry Elder and Director Justin Malone, comes the continuation of their highly acclaimed film, Uncle Tom (2020). Uncle Tom II will take the audience deeper into black America’s often eradicated history of honorable men, entrepreneurship, prosperity, faith, and patriotism, to its current perceived state of anger, discontent and victimhood.

Uncle Tom II unveils the Marxist strategy of creating false racial tension between Americans, with its ultimate goal of obtaining power, destroying capitalism and replacing God with government.”

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness

Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
 
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
 
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
 
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
 
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance

Heavenly Father, as I lie down to sleep tonight, I pray that You would guard my sleeping and protect my mind from wandering thoughts and unnecessary planning. Teach me to wait for Your perfect timing and not to try to plan my future in my own strength.
 
Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life. Help me to trust You in all things and rely on You to lead me along the straight path and guide me in the direction that You would have me to go.
 
Give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing, and may I not trust in my own abilities and scheming, but rather rest in Your love and trust my future into Your hands.
 
And so now Lord, I commit this night to you, asking that I would rest soundly and wake refreshed and strong to do Your bidding. This I ask in Jesus’ precious name,
 
Amen.

PRAY FOR TRUMP

lilbirdee12’s prayer:

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace. 

Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.

And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.

Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.

A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen. 

There has been a quiet religious revival going on for several years now. I see splashes of it all the time.

Van Zant Reunite For New Single ‘Jesus Christ’

Excerpt:

“We’ve been so low that the only place we could go is to look up,” adds Johnny. “I hope they find Jesus cause I think now more than ever, we need Him. A lot of crazy stuff is going on in our world, and we need to come together as children of Christ and figure this out.”

No Church for Old Men: Surge of Young, Conservative Priests Could Make Aging Liberal Clergy ‘Extinct’

Excerpt:

According to a nationally representative survey conducted by the Catholic Project at the Catholic University of America, of 3,500 priests ordained since 2020, “More than 80 percent of priests ordained since 2020 describe themselves as theologically ‘conservative /orthodox’ or
‘very conservative
/orthodox.’” …

…As the Times puts it: “In the near future, in other words, the liberal Catholic priest could essentially be extinct in the United States. The shift toward more uniform conservatism puts the rising generations of priests increasingly at odds with secular culture, which has broadly moved to the left on questions of gender, sexuality, reproductive issues, and roles for women.”

I don’t know about yall, but I like this guy.

Found the rifle I’m looking for. Used in excellent condition. Not an auction. Will buy it tomorrow. Colt AR-15, heavy 20″ barrel, match grade trigger group. Has scope mounting but not a scope. Has the standard flash suppressor.

✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
