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 †

Morning, Garrison and jay!

Afternoon, Gramps!
Israel Update:
Shalom. I didn’t do any updates for a while because I was ill with a flue and also busy. There was also not much new. But to fill in the gap here is a new update.
–Gaza: So as I said the War Cabinet decided to conquer all of Gaza. They think that it’s the only way to break Hamas. Those are really two main areas. One is the Gaza City area that is more to the North and the Central Gaza Camps. There are hostages in the Center which is why it still stands and many terrorists took shelter there.
Yesterday the Chief of Staff met his high command and they went through a few operating options. They choose one. The Defense Minister will probably approve it. The plan is of taking over Gaza City. This is the first target.
There is an issue with the time factor. The Chief of Staff wanted to take his time and move the population smoothly. There must be there close to a million if not more people.
Hamas don’t want them to move but I believe that they will move anyways.
But, there are indications from the Trump Administration that time is of essence, that they support the moves, but “get it done fast”. It’s not an open credit forever. So the plan was to start the maneuver in Gaza City on Oct 7. Now they talk about “achieving operational control” by Oct 7. Operational Control means that the above ground is in our hands and there is work to be done underground.
Today the Defense Minister said that if Hamas won’t let go of the hostages the gates of Hell will open on Gaza. He emphasized that a lot more than has been going on.
He explained that because the area is loaded with explosives, all the houses get attacked before risking the soldiers who enter. Basically what is going on in Gaza is a complete destruction of livable infrastructure.
Note: The latest report is that Hamas may be willing for a partial deal now. The one from before. It’s not they are saying it. It’s the mediators from Qatar and Egypt. We already concluded that they manipulated us for a long time. They know the tension inside Israel and are using it to stop the attack with more manipulations. Bibi said that he is not going to fall for a partial deal no more. This is likely to be rejected unless they come with a final offer that we can approve. Talking about 10 hostages. They know that they are running out of places to hide. Yes I called Qatar “satanic” before and I am repeating it now.
–False Propaganda: The Starvation Campaign is not over and we just had the BBC and Guardian of the UK with a heart breaking story of the Mara Abu Zohari, a 20 years old who was flown to Italy and “died from malnutrition”. The fact is that we have it documented that she died from Leukemia. Israel offered them to leave a while ago and they arrived a few days ago. Another horrifying video of a Skelton baby getting milk from a bottle appears and
ex–Congressman Jamaal Bowman fell for it. The baby is from Pakistan.
It is harder to maintain this campaign going with the insane number of aide trucks that enter daily. Israel pretty much gave up the siege way of defeating Hamas. In all history a siege was the most logical way of defeating an army. Now we could evacuate zones and siege it but they already accumulated for many months. I am seeing new videos of birthday cakes and ice creams and fat people and children having fun at the beech. Right now the only starved people there are the hostages. But this not a concern of anyone aside for Israel and the US.
–Protests: Massive media campaign to push a mass protest with the families of the hostages this weekend. They make you feel that everyone wants to “End the War Now”. Which means a surrender. They also organized a general strike. It was a complete failure. Only a few thousands participated and blocked some roads and very few joined the strike. They don’t have the people as they think. It’s the left that wants the Govenment to fall and hijacked some of the families of the hostages.
Lebanon: Bold statements of the Lebanese Government to disarm Hezbollah. This is under US pressure. And defiant statements from Hezbollah threatening a Civil War.
In the past no one in Lebanon has the guts to say anything against Hezbollah. The Last Christian President was assassinated by Hezbollah when he was getting too close to Israel.
Lebanon is having a once in a lifetime opportunity to take over their sovereignty and recover.
It’s worth a Civil War if you ask me. The Palestinian cause has destroyed Lebanon for many decades. Terrorists of various kinds settled in Lebanon as a launching area against Israel and ruined Lebanon which was once known as the Switzerland of the Middle East. Beautiful mountains and beeches and snow.
–Syria: The Druze which Israel saved from annihilation are thankful and had a large rally for having Independence from the oppressive regime. There were Israeli flags in the rally and calls to join Israel. I am hearing that now the Islamists are breaking the ceasefire and moving in on them again. I saw IDF vests and gloves some even with Israeli flags on their fighters. Israel just had a negotiation with the Syrians and it was reported that they agreed to enable a humanitarian corridor from Israel to the Druze area. Israel will not let them die.
Again we are seeing a rare historic opportunity to secure our Syrian border and I would advise Israel to encourage the Druze to move the few hostile Sunni villages who are close to Israel and attacking the Druze. If they want to fight they may as well be moved out and there can be a whole friendly area in our Syrian Border with real relationship.
It is not reported in the west but the Sunni Government is facing fights with radical factions. It’s quite chaotic I see videos. The hold of the regime is weakening and they may lose control. The US understood their nature now and candled the removal of the sanctions. Their leader is blaming Israel for “undermining Syria”. The terrorist in a suit is not doing so well. It all began when he implemented a Taliban style Government. They go to areas and massacred Alawites, Christians, Druze, Kurds. They want Sharia Law and conversions. They are Muslim Brotherhood Ideology just like Turkey is and Turkey is there on the ground and flooding them with weapons, armored vehicles, etc…
We are seeing a shift from an Iranian Shia Axis to a Sunni Turkish Axis. None is good for Israel.
–Houthis: They keep harassing Israel with Missiles every few days. Israel intercepts it all. Yesterday Israeli Navy attacked a Power Plant that may have had other uses. But I have information that the IDF is building up a massive plan to really beat them bad. It will come. Israel didn’t have much Intel there like in Iran and it takes time to collect information for an effective attack.
–The latest Tucker attacks on Israel:
The attacks of Tucker on the only Jewish State are relentless. It’s weekly and he is using his talent to harm Israel at the most sensitive points. At this point it’s hard to explain aside for antisemitism. The level of hate and animosity.
I will never forget at the heat of the war when we were getting attacked from all directions and daily casualties Tucker decided to bring in a “Priest” from Bethlehem of an almost none existing congregation. He is known to be an anti Israel propagandist full of lies. Blaming Israel for all kind of things. Of course the one ally that we still had is the Evangelical so he had to try to cut this line of friendship. The community of Christians in Bethlehem diminished under Palestinian Authority Control from over 80% to under 20%. Priests in Israel are saying positive things and debunking the smear campaign.
Then he saw a rare opportunity to take the hottest issue in MAGA at that time, the Epstein issue and spread that “he knows” that Epstein was a Mossad Agent. And he managed to turn some of MAGA against Israel.
Then a week plus ago he took the guy who was fired by the GHF for misconduct (GHF, the American Aide Organization in Gaza) and the guy is blaming the IDF for “war crimes and a child they killed”.
Of course there is zero evidence and the only evidence we do have is the GHF released the texts of this guy begging to be rehired and the date on the texts are after the alleged crimes.
And there is a text where he warns them that “he is going to be their worst nightmare if they don’t cancel the dismissal”. Then the aunt of the child contradicts the story.
The damage is done and even one of my favorite American YouTubers posted a video on “presenting both sides of the story”. This was painful for me as I love the guy and I wasn’t able to even watch it.
So if this is not enough a few days ago again an attack on the Christian Israel alliance. Now he got another “Priest” woman, a known Hamas supporter. And she starts with “How Hamas was basically a natural organization in response to Israeli oppression”. And she explains that “Gaza was a prison because they couldn’t have an Airport and fly nor a port. She makes 10/7 a natural response basically.” And Tucker nods “yes, “yes”, “no flights”.
This time we see Tucker in agreement with Hamas and indirectly 10/7. He crossed all the lines.
And again, Bethlehem is under Palestinian Authority. It’s not Israel’s responsibility.
In fact I just watched a nice Israeli YouTuber made a video of trying to enter Bethlehem and she tries with tricks and wasn’t manage to get in.
And last and not least is his supper effort to enable Iran to have the nukes and prevent the US help in the operation. And then his hosting the Iranian President who is saying that “Death to America” doesn’t mean “death to America” and Tucker : no words.
I can’t explain his hate. His heart is not clean. People like this have a lot to hide and it will come out one day. Yes I liked him too a while ago. Yes he is right on some things. He was “infected” and it’s only getting worse. It’s not going to end well for him too.
So to make a point about the good old lie of “Gaza the Prison” I will post right after the update a video about Gaza as it was before 10/7. No one will show it to you in the West.
Of course with all the billions that they used to dig tunnels etc… they could be a successful nation. But Tucker is horrified that Israel didn’t give them an airport to bring in more explosives and precision missiles from Iran.
I hope this last one on Tucker is not too heavy for you, it was heavy for me. I know that Sundance likes Tucker and I hope he is going to spot the toxicity of this man soon enough. Trump already knows it.
Shalom and God Bless Israel and the USA.
Best wishes to every one of you!
Tucker lost me with that horrible shrew Ana Kasparian who spouted off easily disproven lies about President Trump while Tucker nodded in agreement.
What was it all about? Was it also design to hit Israel or it’s allies?
I can answer myself I picked into it. Another hit piece on Israel with a strong antisemite motif.
But what did you refer to about lies on Trump that can easily be disproved that he agreed with? I am interested in what was it?
David: I know this poster may answer with more, but in the meantime . . .
I seem to recall that Tucker was denying the clear and proven rigging of the 2020 Presidential Election.
We had LOTS of evidence at that point from many people we trusted (like Mayor Giuliani and many more). Yet Tucker kept repeating lies about that Election.
Sundance has seemed to be not fully on board with Tucker; yet does promote Tucker interviews that are useful / truthful in SD’s opinion.
I believe there are other instances of Tucker promoting things that go against PDJT. Not sure.
Thank you. I would compile a video if I had enough. It may be a project.
I don’t always listen to Tucker anymore. I don’t understand what happened to him, but when he had that one guy on not too long ago, right after Candace Owen’s, there must have been a lot of backlash because he had him back to explain his side with a lot less anger. Drove me to listen to a hit piece on Tucker, by an anti semite (I didn’t know it until afterwards), I thought there sure a lot of talking heads out there. In the end I unfollowed Tuckers podcast and found someone different to fill my hands free time with. Best Wishes and God Bless David. Always looking forward to your updates!
Thank you.
No Tucker here.
❤️
David,
Sorry to hear that you were ill. Hope you are feeling better. Really missed you and your updates. God Bless you and keep you healthy.
God Bless the USA and Israel.
Thank you.

🚨 BREAKING: Just a couple HOURS after President Trump gave his support for the final annihilation of Hamas – they accepted a Gaza CEASEFIRE.
And guess what? The agreement includes the release of more hostages. 47 strikes again.
“The news comes just hours after President Trump urged Israel to expand its attacks on Hamas, saying the hostages would not be freed until Hamas was ‘confronted and destroyed.'”
It is just a masterclass every week with this guy.
Hold your horses on this one. The report is from Barak Ravid. A super liberal and a CNN contributor and the most left wing media TV in Israel. It has a political twist to it. He wants a complete surrender of Israel and makes it look like Hamas said “yes” and so Israel must say “yes”. But it is not a real “yes”. This will clarify in 24 hours and I will report as to where it is going and why. But for sure it is a major development.
The wording should be “Hamas accepted the partial deal proposal with alterations”.
In the past their “alterations” were designed to linger and gain time.
It’s not some tremendous win. They want:
1. Major withdraws of the IDF (with alterations to the maps). That can be a catch. Could be critical.
2. 140 murderers terrorists released, more than the original proposed deal. 40 with over 15 years prison terms released. All underaged prisoners released.
3. Number of dead hostages is not clear. They want 10 bodies for each Israeli body. This is critical. The bodies are important to us religiously and morally for a proper burial.
4. Changes in the maps of where the IDF will be. This could be a deception to get the pressure off their backs and give conditions that are not acceptable.
5. Fuel, water, electricity, restoring hospitals, heavy equipment to remove rubble. Heavy equipment was used to breach the fences in 10/7 and can be used to dig holes for explosives and dig trenches etc….
All this for 60 days in which a final deal will be negotiated. Where they will never agree to disarm and leave so it’s meaningless. Israel is not letting them stay.
There is a lot of push back about this in Israel and Trump just said that “Hamas must be destroyed! play to win or don’t play”. It was not a negotiating statement. It came out too close to their decision. He means it.
As I said. I will update you on this when it clarifies. It’s a tough decision. I wouldn’t want to be Bibi at this moment. My prayers to Bibi to make the right decision.
I used to enjoy Tucker, but haven’t even been able to look at him for quite some time. I have lost all interest in him. Wonder why?
It’s not the same Tucker anymore.
Same for me. IDT he needs $.
”
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.’
Deuteronomy 32:35
Thankful you are better, David!
May The LORD continue to BLESS You!
We Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!
May The LORD BLESS Israel and the USA
AMEN & AMEN
Amen.
The video is a bit long and has some repetition but even a bit will give you an idea of the Palestinian narrative lie of the “Miserable Gaza Prison and because if it they just had to attack Israel”.
By the way nothing is left of what you see in the videos. They called 10/7 “The Al Aqsa (mosque in Jerusalem) Flood”. They definitely got a “flood”. You think it changed their minds? The Latest pole from May 2025 still gives Hamas 43% satisfaction in the population in Gaza. Go figure. Once they are defeated it should drop. But the brainwash is deep. And Hamas is in their families, large families. Gaza now is in rubble, I should compile a video.
Am I happy? No. I wish there was someone to talk to and make peace with but they don’t even want to give the hostages to save what is left of Gaza. A human can be de-escalated in two ways: 1. Through reason and understanding and communication and rising to the natural goodness of the spirit. 2. Is by complete overwhelm when they go into apathy and give up on their chance to succeed with violence. This is the essence of war. A victory should overwhelm the enemy and make them lose the desire to fight. We are not there yet.
I present to you. Gaza before 10/7 (It’s not what you expect):
https://rumble.com/v6uluj9-gaza-before-the-war..ht
Many men and boys, very few women or girls. Beautiful city but missing the total family fabric. I did not see one father/daughter interaction.
In 2021 Gaza’s Supreme Judicial Council issued a directive requiring women to obtain male guardian permission to travel. After a backlash it was pulled back and revised to enable judges to rule on specific families cases and specific women who may be a problem for their family.
In reality many families expect women to limit their time in public spaces if at all unless escorted by a man. The social expectation from a woman is not to hang around tourist areas or hotels and restaurants, if they go out alone it is more likely to do errands, shopping etc…. Some public spaces have informal or formal social enforcement. Women discouraged from appearing in videos, cafes, or mixed gender spaces.
Dress codes could also keep women in family areas or women only sections.
Now go tell that to the liberal idiots who support them. A women in bikini in Gaza would be a suicide. Discovering a gay would be a death sentence.
Wildfire Uncovers Lost Biblical Village of Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee
Long thought to be lost to time, this site, located along the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, has been under excavation since 2016 at the official approval of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. The recent blaze, while devastating to local flora and wildlife, has provided archaeologists with an unprecedented view of structures buried for centuries.
A Village Revealed by Fire
The wildfire, which raged for over 17 hours near Amnun Beach, forced the temporary closure of Highway 87 and sent beachgoers fleeing. When archaeologists returned to the blackened landscape, they discovered hundreds of small mounds scattered across the site of el-Araj.
“Each of these mounds is potentially an ancient room,” explains Mordechai Aviam, director of the excavation from Kinneret College. The cleared land exposed stone blocks, fragments, and even a pillar drum, suggesting the presence of public buildings alongside residential areas.
El-Araj has long been under investigation as a potential site for Bethsaida, historically recognized as the hometown of apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip. Until recently, the village’s precise location had been debated, with the nearby site of e-Tell traditionally accepted despite its distance from the lake and elevated terrain — characteristics inconsistent with a first-century fishing village.
Excavations at el-Araj, however, have revealed fishing tools, Roman-era pottery, and remnants of a Roman bathhouse, all pointing to a thriving lakeside community in the time of Jesus.
The archaeological site at el-Araj is layered with history. Beneath the surface lies the Roman-era settlement, topped by a Byzantine church and monastery from the 5th century. Crusaders later repurposed the church into a sugar factory in the 12th or 13th century.
Excavation director Aviam explains that uncovering the Roman layer — the period contemporary with Jesus and his apostles — requires meticulously documenting and sometimes removing the upper layers of Byzantine and Crusader structures.
In a statement to Haaretz’s Ruth Schuster, Aviam said, “The fire, while tragic, has allowed us to survey areas that were previously inaccessible due to thick vegetation.
Among the finds, one of the most remarkable discoveries was an early inscription associated with the Apostle Peter. Volunteers uncovered ancient Greek letters hinting at Peter’s presence, reinforcing the identification of el-Araj as his hometown.
…..The excavation’s next steps focus on uncovering additional Roman-era homes and public buildings, which could provide further insights into the daily lives of Bethsaida’s inhabitants and the community that shaped early Christianity.

Walter Chrysler
(1875-1940)
American automotive pioneer (Chrysler Corporation) and thoroughbred breeder, dies at 65
Biography: Walter Chrysler spent nearly 20 years of his working life working on the railways in ever more senior positions until Charles Nash, President of General Motors hired him to manage the Buick factory in Flint, Michigan.
Chrysler excelled at Buick, introducing assembly-line techniques and raising production. In 1916 he was made President of Buick.
In 1919 Nash and Chrysler fell out over costs, Chrysler resigned and took over the Maxwell Motor Company, which became the Chrysler Corporation in 1925.
Chrysler developed more low cost cars and in 1928 bought Dodge Brothers Inc. and introduced the first Plymouth cars. In the same year he was named Time magazine’s Man of the Year.
By 1930, Chrysler had also built the Chrysler building in New York, for 11 months the tallest building in the world, until overtaken by the Empire State.
Since this is Bench Monday revival, have started taking a few snaps around here when the mountains vs air moisture / AKA rain clouds favor it being sunny instead of overcast. (the mountains DO make their own weather)

And another one bites the dust.
Idan Amedi is an IDF soldier who was badly wounded in Gaza many months ago. He was combat engineer and there was a huge explosion that killed many of his buddies. He arrived unrecognizable. But Idan is also a major singer celebrity who insisted to fight with his unit. Celebrities have ways to avoid if they want to. They can be entertainers for the soldiers. Idan recently came up with a new album and a documentary about his rehab.
He recently started to perform again and he recognized his paramedic who helped save his life in the crowd. See his response. He gets the crowd to cheer to the paramedic.

I got more pears than I can eat this year.
I used some of the excess super ripe ones tonight to start a few batches of pear wine.
1 gallon pickle jars each with 2.5lb of pear flesh (no skins, cores or bores) in tied mesh bags.
Add 0.5g MBS(potassium metabisulfite), 2tsp Acid Blend, then pour 1.5L boiling water in it.
Now, have a tight lid on the jars so the SO2 sterilizes everything.
After 24hrs, I’ll vent the SO2 off for another 24hrs, then put a bubble airlock on it after adding:
about 24 ozw sugar to 25%brix and water to measure 0.8gal,
then tweek the PH to 4.0 with add’l Acid Blend, (rarely needed)
3/4 tsp pectinase enzyme, 1.5tsp Fermax Nutrient, and EC1118 yeast, activated as described on label.
After three filtered transfers, each one gallon fermenter will yeild two 750ml bottles of absolutely awesome tasting 38proof wine that at will kick ur butt if you don’t respect it.
I do the same with peaches, nectarines and apples.
#13 Rooster has challenged #2 Rooster for Alpha for his whole 3yr life.
One day, #2 kicked #13 so hard #13 sees double.
For a month now, we have to get him out of the coop in the morning, and put him back in at night.
Comments? Perspectives? Ahem.
Winter will come.

👋🏻 ♥️
Excellent Annie. Nicely done.
thank you ♥️
Another by Carla and Mick, this one’s a powerhouse
Every time we raised chickens, 2 roosters in the coop never lasted more than a year. Now we only keep them for the meat before the fighting becomes overwhelming. Idk your set up, family pets, hens per rooster but eventually 1 will have to go. Three years is a long life span for chickens as far as I know about them, 2 more years max? Pick one or the other before they do.
It’s all in ‘the Shroud’ … saved for us by God for 2000 years, specifically for the people of the ‘End Times’ (that’s us!) to tell the story in minute detail of what Jesus went through for us, to pay for our sins, and to offer us eternal life for believing in Him.

Damn – those belly dancers again. Was just reading/studying Ezekiel, and being the navel gazer I sometimes am (can’t help it) – the word “barber” in verse 5:1 got my attention. Got to thinking, surely this is a translation issue – weren’t they (Israel) commanded not to shave their beards? – the word “barber” would hardly be used, and then, seen as a negative “foreign” practice. (So I thought). Hmmm, let’s check the source. Turns out the translation is correct – but ooooh boy did that little “detail” open up a whole new hitch hikers guide to the universe. Chapter 5 – “The mystical significance of hair” – riightt…so what does it mean that I’m losing (lost) most of mine (on my head)??? – wiggle, wiggle… focus, focus……. 🙂
Love it. 😃

Make this a good Monday, in fact make it classic
“Thy KINGDOM come, Thy will BE DONE, on earth as it is in Heaven”
The Biblical Hebrew text is more concise:
“The covenant of God enters the house, subduing the nations by His hand and covenant.
His will is revealed — the head of righteousness nailed, bringing life by His hand.
As the heavens are ruled by His hand over the waters, so the earth shall be established in His righteousness.”
Pendulum Lyrics:
I been walking a tightrope between fact and fiction
I been wrestling with demons in small bottled prisons
I been talking with sinners who claim to be Christian
I been shouting at leaders who claim to be listening
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
and momentum increases the need for the fight
Like a moment of blindness in a lifetime of sight
& I am caught somewhere the middle
I saw a president blind to the needs of his people
I saw a camel that passed through the eye of a needle
I saw a group of old men whose money was evil
I saw a cross breaking free from the cage of a steeple
I saw beggars and cripples dying in squalor
I saw a son whose sins had exceeded his father
I saw a nation of sleepers whose dreams were forgotten
& a bushel of apples from a tree that was rotten
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
as momentum increases the need for the fight
Like a blindfold when its time to walk towards the light
& I am lost somewhere in the middle
I heard the echo of suffering in the valley of laughter
I heard the rumble of earthquakes far under the water
I heard a court jester whose forked tongue was twisted
Who told us of dangers that never existed
I heard voices that claimed to be moral and righteous
Whose lies and deceit were all dark and contagious
I heard talk of a country that valued its freedom
But when I protested I was arrested and beaten
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
As momentum increases the weight and the height
But if nobody’s listening, is anyone right?
& I can’t seem to find the key to the riddle
I met a young woman with a baby inside her
I looked but there wasn’t a safe place to hide her
I met an old man with a face like a mirror
His showed me his sadness so I could see clearer
I met an arrogant leader who robs us and cheats us
He pretends that his orders come directly from Jesus
When he sends out our children to strange foreign soil
To kill for the right to monopolize oil
I’m a raising my voice ‘gainst the house of derision
That murders our freedom with short-sighted vision
I’ll sing a new song about civilization
& the palace of wisdom and the death of a nation
I’ll lift up the veil that’s hiding the holy
& remind all the people that change happens slowly
I’ll scream out a name to the echoes of Heaven
& pray that the world don’t end up where its heading
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
as momentum decreases the end is in sight
There’s a lunatic handling our future tonight
& I am lost somewhere in the middle

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Monday, August 18, 2025
✟
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
Galatians 3:13 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR GALATIANS 3
“The Galatians reproved for departing from the great doctrine of justification alone, through faith in Christ. (1-5) This doctrine established from the example of Abraham. (6-9) From the tenor of the law and the severity of its curse. (10-14) From the covenant of promises, which the law could not disannul. (15-18) The law was a schoolmaster to lead them to Christ. (19-25) Under the gospel state true believers are all one in Christ.” (26-29)
(6-14) “The apostle proves the doctrine he had blamed the Galatians for rejecting; namely, that of justification by faith without the works of the law. This he does from the example of Abraham, whose faith fastened upon the word and promise of God, and upon his believing he was owned and accepted of God as a righteous man. The Scripture is said to foresee, because the Holy Spirit that indited the Scripture did foresee. Through faith in the promise of God he was blessed; and it is only in the same way that others obtain this privilege. Let us then study the object, nature, and effects of Abraham’s faith; for who can in any other way escape the curse of the holy law? The curse is against all sinners, therefore against all men; for all have sinned, and are become guilty before God: and if, as transgressors of the law, we are under its curse, it must be vain to look for justification by it. Those only are just or righteous who are freed from death and wrath, and restored into a state of life in the favour of God; and it is only through faith that persons become righteous. Thus we see that justification by faith is no new doctrine, but was taught in the church of God, long before the times of the gospel. It is, in truth, the only way wherein any sinners ever were, or can be justified. Though deliverance is not to be expected from the law, there is a way open to escape the curse, and regain the favour of God, namely, through faith in Christ. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law; being made sin, or a sin-offering, for us, he was made a curse for us; not separated from God, but laid for a time under the Divine punishment. The heavy sufferings of the Son of God, more loudly warn sinners to flee from the wrath to come, than all the curses of the law; for how can God spare any man who remains under sin, seeing that he spared not his own Son, when our sins were charged upon him? Yet at the same time, Christ, as from the cross, freely invites sinners to take refuge in him.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
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
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
TIME AFTER TIME
When all seems lost notice what happens next
God suddenly halts it at its apex
God said for us He will make an escape
Just as He promised in His Word takes shape
He will never abandon or leave us alone
To face problems without solution shown
When we put our trust completely in Him
The problem will no longer seem so grim
We might find answers thru advice of friends
Or maybe thru our thinking God will cleanse
Clarify and correct less the emotion
To help us strive and stop the commotion
Some days are plagued with sorrow and pain
We simply must manage stay safe and sane
One mishap after another to knock us down
Somehow we remain afloat and not drown
It is easy to see when we have faith
Just as in His Word He simply saith
For without faith we sure cannot please God
Cause faith is the substance of hope unflawed
When you lean not on your own understanding
You’ll see His power exert expanding
Acknowledging Him brings Him close at hand
His knowledge and wisdom at our command
Time after time God has proven His love
Definitively infinitely from above
Remember He resides inside of you
To assist abet with all that you do

Good morning Duchess01. Thank you for always being faithful with your daily scriptures, images and prayers. I greatly appreciate them every day. I pray you have a very blessed day as well.
Merry Monday Moments
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
— Allan K. Chalmers
Don’t make your life comfortable for demons. Don’t make your home comfortable for evil. Don’t make your car or office a welcome mat for Satan.
What has been happening ‘at the will of the people’ is we have made a “wallow” for demons in our churches. In our homes and lives. And it’s called “modernism” as we remove crucifixes and scripture, as our homes play movies and music that represents confusion.
I was listening to scripture on the radio one day while traveling on the highway. The volume was up and when I stopped for gas the volume was excessive. A man came out of the gas station cursing and laughing, when he heard the sound on my radio he immediately changed his demeanor. His head dropped and he quietly walked to his vehicle. God pointed that out to me.
I was also made aware of the fact that music creates an atmosphere around you. It either welcomes angels or keeps them at a distance. Demons don’t need invitations they are “as roaming lions seeking whom they may devour.”
The enemy wants the little things to be gone, the music, the crucifixes, the prayer, the discipline to fade.
And this is the rubber meeting the road! Those thoughts and arguments that accomplish separation and destruction in our lives are no coincidence. When we are focused and calm, quiet within, we hear that small still voice. That voice is our salvation. 1 kings:19:11,12
Gods grace is sufficient 11 Corinth 12:9 it weakens the enemy and strengthens his children and is ever present.
Also probably why road rage is more prevalent.
I can hear the vile music within some vehicles, and sometimes children are even in the car.
I have realized, in those occasions, why I am most likely more calm in my driving than they are.

First time seeing this you tube channel called Prepper Alert. This one goes through a list of 10 items he says will be rising in price or being shortages of on store shelves over the next year.
It’s 31 minutes, with a lot of chit chat while he gets to the different items and he constantly asks if people are noticing shortages or price increases. Most of the comments say people haven’t noticed any change. Thing is – I sure have on all but two items.
For those who don’t have the time to listen, the items he lists are: vanilla extract, specialty rice (jasmine, basmati), cooking oils (he mentions sunflower oil shortages, I have to order safflower oil over the internet as all our local stores stopped carrying it), coffee, tea, bread flour, black pepper, laundry detergents, various nuts such as walnuts, pecans, and aluminum foil.
Here’s the link to the video in which he does provide his reasons for listing those items such as weather ruining crops (typhoons) and/or nations limiting exports of some items:

Yes, actual warfare. Like Syria. Which fits, since Britain is full of Syrians these days.
Why? Because weak politicians refuse to act, on matters people find intolerable.
