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 †

✝️ Weekly Devotional, Monday January 5, 2026
Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
Ephesians 1:14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
Jude 1:24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—
Romans 10:9-10 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
John 14:1-3 1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
2 Peter 1:4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Hebrews 12:22-24 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

Iran Update:
Yes, you read right. This is an Iran Update. Not an Israel Update. How dare I? 🙂
In a way it is an Israel update as all eyes are on Iran.
~Trump warned them not to fire on protesters — and they did anyway. In the context of the raid in Venezuela, that warning now carries a very different weight.
~Today, the Revolutionary Guard conducted missile and air-defense drills. This is signaling — deterrence through intimidation.
~There was concern within the Israeli defense establishment about a possible Iranian attack meant to divert attention from Iran’s internal crisis, but I believe their situation is too dire to risk inflaming it further.
~I watched video footage of security forces opening fire on a crowd — reportedly four killed and around thirty injured. I also heard a separate account from a hospital employee describing an extremely severe situation.
~Another video shows Revolutionary Guard soldiers attempting to enter a hospital to arrest wounded protesters. There was resistance inside the hospital.
~I do not yet see a million protesters filling Tehran’s main square. When I do, I’ll know this is truly serious. I also don’t see soldiers switching sides. We’ll see how this develops.
~The protests and riots are spreading nationwide — dozens of cities.
~I’ve seen a small number of rifles in protesters’ hands, along with Molotov cocktails. I’ve also seen Revolutionary Guard members beaten.
~I can assure you: this is a Mossad moment. The protesters will receive all the help they need, but it must erupt like wildfire, driven by millions. It must come from the people. We cannot do it for them.
~There are reports of an escape plan for Khamenei (the Supreme Leader) possibly fleeing to Russia.
~There are also reports of internal messages within Iran’s security forces urging them to hold on, with reinforcements allegedly arriving from Iraq and Afghanistan.
~Divine intervention? Drying rivers and water sources, an energy crisis, price hikes — and now nationwide protests and riots. Iranians against Iranians. What they did to Israel cannot be understated.
~A main Iranian channel is calling the protesters “Mossad agents.” That will only enrage them further. They have legitimate reasons to protest.
~Iran executed approximately 1,500–1,900 people in 2025 alone. The fear barrier is real.
~Will Trump act? Unlikely — unless the regime is foolish enough to carry out a mass-casualty event in open defiance of his warning. Trump is not afraid to use force, but this isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan. This is a local uprising. The people may need some help — but that’s it.
~I heard yesterday about Iranian threats against U.S. bases in the region and evacuations underway. That suggests Trump may strike — likely limited strikes if they ignore his warnings. Stop panicking. Trump is not a Deep State Obama or Bush. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
~Dictators are cornered and removed. Maduro is gone. Iranians are rebelling. Cuba may follow. The world may become a better place if this trend continues. I can already see the Mexican communist president panicking.
~America First — in Trump’s view — is not the version pushed by Tucker or others. He protects American interests globally, not for a Deep State agenda, but for the security, prosperity, and well-being of his country. And I believe he has a heart. I think he genuinely cared about Israeli hostages — and now Iranian protesters.
His version of America First is not “America Only.”
No one is alone in the game of life.
My prayers today are for the freedom of Iran and the good Iranian people.
God bless them — and make Iran great again.
So, the clock ticks . . . The reckoning is coming. If not now, then sooner rather than later. Well said, Treeper friend David. From Texas: “Git’em!!!
Exactly and thank you.
thank you , david ! ♥️
❤️
Thank you, David, for speaking from your heart about the wise strategies of President Trump and all the good events that that are cascading from his vision of a better world. My heart is strengthened by your enlightened words.
My message should have replied to David.
❤️
Thanks, David for giving us a perspective we rarely get from our own media here. We do appreciate the effort you put into giving us your wonderful update from your corner of the world
❤️
Thank you, David! Well said! Shalom!
❤️
Times have changed. Am prayerful for the good people of Iran, and their safety, too.
According to the internet, this supreme leader has been in charge since 1989…about two generations. The world is a different place and he refuses to accept that. Or cannot see it.
Am assuming Khamenei’s bags are packed and ready to go?
Thank you for the update!
David. I wanted to share this video with you. Unbelievable moments that simply can’t be described other than miraculous.
One example. The US has 51% flying time with their F35s. The Israelis flew 12 days straight with theirs and never lost a single pilot or plane in some of the most hostile and unforgiving situations imaginable.
Thanks for the updates David. I value them immensely.
DD
Yes thank you I watched it about a week ago and considered to post it here but it doesn’t pass my fact checking.
True : Amazing pager operation. False :5000 pagers blew up. More like 3000.
True: Israel had some 350 – 450 attacks in Syria to wipe out their weapons and munitions.
False: 350 attacks simultaneously. Killed the scientists and generals. Israel didn’t kill Syrain scientists and generals in Syria. The attack was on the equipment and munitions mainly. He is confusing it with Iran.
True: An amazing statistic of no loss airplane. False: Expectancy for dozens of lost planes and pilots. I can tell you with certainty that if that was the expectancy the operation was not going to be approved. Israel has zero tolerance for losing pilots. I can think of 1-3 but not dozens. Also their air defenses were targeted by Mossad in Iran. Main parts of it.
True : US works on 50% operational airplanes ready to go. False: This is not the numbers in Israel, in Israel it is 70%-80% and in war time it’s 85%-90%. I know it I was in the Air Force. Israel’s security depends on it. Top notch ground team. I was part of it.
True: After the pagers the Hezbollah commanders met and got assassinated which ended the war basically. False: It was not three or so missile into a building. They were in an underground bunker and it was something like 50 bunker buster bombs probably more.
True: Sinwar jumped the gun and messed up the bigger plan. Could have been a huge disaster. On the other hand if he was to coordinate it with Hezbollah and Iran , they are deeply penetrated by Mossad and the whole thing could have been prevented. Mossad didn’t operates in Gaza, Unfortunately.
So
You know that I like to say good things about Israel and I recently posted a long Update about the Biblical fulfillment of “Bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you”. But this guy is a good speaker and I see some miracles and I am aware of many miracles that happened to soldiers and maybe I will collect them one day and translate it.
But overall I do feel Devine Intervention. Even the way Trump survived and then won and then helped Israel in a critical point and is quite something. Also I never imagined that all the hostages will be back (aside for one body). This was quite a miracle considering that we didn’t withdraw and there is an open door to finish the job.
The way Syria fell, the way Iran is getting hit with dry rivers and water sources and now unrest. A lot is going on beyond the ordinary.
Blessings,
David
Hear here David. Nice update thank you as always. SOB main scream media does not and will not report even 1/2 of what your updates bring. Shalom Brother! 🙏🏽

Afternoon, dear lady . . . 🙂 I love that the artist included a kitty in that image. The images are fascinating in the way they can capture a moment. I was at a friends house and they had a Youtube channel with these images only with classical music instead of jazz. Very interesting. However. On their 54in screen the images looked impressively different compared to my little 23in computer screen. Be well, love.
They called 10/7. “The flood of Al Aqsa “. (mosque in Jerusalem.).
This is how Gaza looks this week.

On another note. Tucker has lost it. After falsely saying: “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.” “I see millions of Americans being destroyed, and none of it is at the hands of radical Islam.”
Note: If you add 9/11 than thousands of Americans were killed not to mention many terror attacks associated to ISIS etc..,
The attack in a Texas base, the club in Orlando, etc, etc, etc…
Now he blames Trump of “trying to enable gay marriages in Venezuela “. I am not kidding. In his own style of “suggesting a possibility while making a statement”.
Here,

Mr. Carlson’s mask has fallen off and all that people see, those who have decided to stop pretending to not see things, are his connections to deep state narrative games – like his father, former see eye aye, is he too of that same agency? is the only question yet to be confirmed – to further even deeper agendas. That, and the connections ($) he has to Qatar make anything he says, anyone he interviews, as part of the same game he’s playing.
of course, just a personal opinion.
I am working on the Qatar subject. The deeper I go the more I see.
Just a bit of taste:
So there was a Forum in Doha Qatar a couple of weeks ago. You can bet that no one came there without a financial interest. The Qataris are known to buy people and influence.
A short list of guests: Tucker Carlson, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Malik Omeed (he funded Tucker after he left Fox News), etc…
Here is another key red flag. Qatar is a donator of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) , this is the Rockefeller Organization that is basically the Headquarters of the real Deep State. Hillary in on video on YouTube admitting that he gets her orders from there.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Wow! Beautiful image.
Yea, I know where it leads to also, end game they start starving to death and become un-alive… gruesomely.
In the mean time when they forage out of the area that is surrounding said protected park they get mowed down on the interstate & main roads by the hundreds if not thousands. (I totaled a car on one myself).
“Hunters” are hired by the authority of the park to thin the herd for $$$$$.
Now the sensible thing would be to sell at least archery tags for safety from IDtenT’s & not only collect money but save money that is being paid for herd culling, but what do I know.
It would be nice if the release of predators cured the problem, but I was informed by a rancher that those released predators just attack & un-alive the easy barnyard targets.
Deer are plentiful around here. Lent my sis a car and a big buck totalled it. TG sis and passenger ok.
Came upon a wreck some years ago where a deer strike caused the death of the front seat passenger. Deer came through the wind-shield, put hooves through the passengers chest, was itself decapitated and exited through the rear deck window. It was a gruesome scene.
Brother wanted to schedule a visit with me in CO, gave him a run down on the rules of driving around here.
A. something will run out in front of you while driving here, especially at dawn/dusk and night.
B. Be prepared to hit the brakes so when / if you hit it, it will not go thru the windshield & un-alive you.
C. Swerving to miss it is really not much of an option, generally no guardrails on any road due to snow removal operations. You really can’t drive “uphill” on one side and the fall off the other side can be a really far drop that you do not survive. As if swerving really does much good in the flat lands as telephone poles have a large toll of un-alive events, I used to know quite a few of those drivers / family’s.
He decided against driving out to see me.
BTW
Anyone that believes the claims of the NYT and WP that they had information on the strike and voluntarily withheld reporting on it for national security reasons is beyond naive.
All those organs are doing is trying to save face. They didn’t know squat! But they have to act like they’re still connected on the inside.
If they’d had the info they would have released it in a heart beat to embarrass Hegseth and the Administration and to possibly cause the canceling of the operation completely.
Their hissy fit months ago wasn’t just about the end of their “reporters” having free reign to roam the halls of the Pentagon, it was also about the clamps of security being tightened all up and down the chain of command.
Sure there is plenty of disloyal deep state types in the system. Bunches of them! But they know they’re being watched and possibly surveilled and under this administration there will be severe consequences if caught.
You are right about this, rah. There is a long-established “uniparty establishment” that is now being threatened by Trump and company — deep state hasn’t faced this before. We are living in “interesting times”.
The 11th Day of Christmas
Bible Verse (using King James version):
“And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Prayer:
“Lord, you have given to me the gift of grace. Through this gift I shall learn to love in freedom and without hindrance. You have given to me the gift of truth. Through this gift I shall come to see the reality of who I am and who I may become. May I, in accepting these your gifts be empowered to in turn, pass them out into your world in unconditional love for your creation. In your name, the name of Christ. Amen.”
Contemplation: On day 11 of Christmas we celebrate the complete union of Christ, the Lord, with physical consciousness. This is the true miracle of Christmas, that a being should descend from the highest spiritual worlds into the physical body. If we contemplate the incarnation of the Word and the change it wrought in human consciousness then we shall perceive the working of Christ within us in grace and truth. This day we are given to focus upon the grace of Christ and the truth of Christ and feel this new illumination, first in the heart, and then the head, bringing this new awareness into our daily actions.

05 January 1998 Salvatore “Sonny” Bono, American actor, musician, vocalist, (Sonny & Cher) and politician (Rep-R-Ca, 1995-98), dies at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, California, when he hits a tree at 62
Biography: Sonny dropped out of high school to pursue a career as a songwriter, landing work as promotion man and staff writer at Specialty Records, and then with Phil Specter. Early works were recorded by Don and Dewey, the Righteous Brothers, and Sam Cooke. His biggest hit came with the Searchers covering “Needle and Pins”.
He branched out into performance, teaming with session singer Cherilyn Sarkisian as an act called “Caesar and Cleo”. The pair married and switched to performing under their real names of “Sonny & Cher”. Several hits followed in the mid 60’s, such as “The Beat Goes On” and their signature song “I Got You Babe”, both written by Bono.
After a lag, they developed a nightclub act that mixed songs with humor, usually with Cher making wisecracks about Sonny’s height, intelligence, and heritage. The reboot proved a hit and they began a 4-year run hosting a popular variety show on CBS. The program was cancelled as their marriage was ending badly. A single season revival a few years later was less successful.
While Cher went on to enormous success as both a solo artist and actress, Sonny left the music industry and concentrated on acting – to little acclaim. He opened a restaurant, and was inspired by the bureaucracy he encountered to run for public office. His election as mayor of Palm Springs, California became a stepping stone that eventually got him elected to the US House of Representatives. A copyright law that he co-sponsored was passed after his accidental death, and named in his honor.
He was married 4 times, and fathered 4 children.
Sonny & Cher reunite for the last time to sing ‘I Got You Babe’ on Letterman (1987)

Ernest Shackleton
(1874-1922)
British-Irish polar explorer (Endurance, Antarctica), dies of a heart attack at 47
Biography: Ernest Shackleton was a British explorer who is best known for his expeditions to the Antarctic. His most famous expedition, known as the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1916), was an ambitious plan to cross the Antarctic continent via the South Pole.
Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, became trapped in pack ice before it could reach its starting point, stranding the crew. As the ice crushed and sank the ship, Shackleton led his crew onto the ice, where they camped for months in extreme conditions.
Once the ice began to break up, Shackleton and his crew embarked on a perilous sea journey in three small lifeboats. They reached the desolate Elephant Island where they were able to take shelter. But Shackleton recognized the island would provide no rescue, so he made a dangerous 800-mile voyage in a small boat across the tumultuous southern Atlantic Ocean to South Georgia Island, where there was a whaling station.
Shackleton’s return to Elephant Island with a rescue ship is considered one of the greatest feats in exploration history. Despite the harsh conditions and multiple near-death experiences, not a single member of his crew was lost.
Throughout his career Shackleton embarked on four significant Antarctic expeditions, although he never did achieve his goal of crossing the Antarctic continent.

Amelia Earhart
(1897-1939)
American aviator (1st woman to fly solo across the Atlantic), is declared dead at 41 after disappearing over the Pacific Ocean in 1937
Biography: Amelia Earhart was an American aviator, whose pioneering efforts included being the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She further promoted commercial air travel as well as writing popular books about her flying experiences.
She is regarded as an early aeronautical inspiration, often compared to Charles Lindbergh as an aviator and Eleanor Roosevelt as an influence. The latter two, Earhart and Roosevelt, had a close friendship and were both significant figures in women’s causes during the period.
Earhart famously disappeared in 1937, along with navigator Fred Noonan, during her attempt to be the first female aviator to circumnavigate the globe. A year and six months later, the two were officially declared dead but neither bodies nor plane have ever been found.
05 January
Amy Johnson
(1903-1941)
British pilot who was the first female pilot to fly alone from Britain to Australia, dies during a ferry flight at 37
Biography: Amy Johnson was an English pilot, best known as the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia. She set a number of records, many solo but also with her husband Jim Mollison, as well as flying in the Second World War.
She disappeared in 1941 during a flight from Prestwick to Oxford after losing track of her course in difficult weather conditions. Reports say that she bailed from her aircraft, and she was seen alive in the water by a convoy of wartime vessels. While ropes were thrown, Johnson disappeared beneath the ship.
05 January
George Washington Carver
(1864-1943)
African-American agricultural scientist (studied the peanut), dies at 81
Biography: Carver was the most famous black scientist and agriculturalist in America during his lifetime. Born into slavery he was freed after the Civil War.
He became the first African American student at the Iowa State Agricultural College before accepting a job from Booker T. Washington to teach at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
Arriving in the South, Carver was appalled at the damage growing just cotton was doing to the land and the precarious existence of its farmers, especially those who were black. Carver began touring, giving lectures on soil deletion, and encouraging farmers to diversify and plant other crops. Carver became particularly famous for promoting peanut crops and products made out of them.
Carver’s fame grew, he met with and was praised for his work by three American presidents. After his death in 1943 President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated money for a national monument to commemorate his life, the first national monument to an African American.

Wot in God’s name is going on in America.
We have Irish Catholics in league with the satanic demoncrat party, we have Jews voting for and financing Muslim terrorists, and we have affluent white WASP wimmin electing Marxists.

There might be a method to the madness…numerous appeals to numerous future rulings may tie it up in court, for a very long time?

I take the language as an angry emphasis against the liberal know it all’s….but it was well said…something about the old native American saying about waking in someone’s moccasins.
When i was a teen in the old CZ and there were issues down there, with the ‘tin horn dictators’….I often wonder if what held them back…was the massive presence of the US Armed Services. The story of Noriega and drugs, mirrors almost that of Maduro…only Venezuela is taking place in 2026…
I pray the people of Venezuela get a decent and honest government that is for their people.
Good morning rah. Thank you for posting this. He is angry and I do not blame him for the language he used. Those he was directing this at deserved every word of it.
I am praying the people of Venezuela finally will get some deserved respite and peace from their life of hell they have endured for so long and get a government that will put it’s people first.

Many people are not aware of the volume of music he produced… they know the songs (mostly recorded by other artists) but not who authored them. He wrote songs for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne Eric Clapton and even Lynyrd Skynyrd.

dozens devouring daily

love the sounds they make
Even when we lived in a small house in family quarters down at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio and fed the hummingbirds, activity would drop off considerably during the winter months.
I’ll tell you those little guys get serious when it comes time to compete for a mate. They’re persistent and ruthless.

I will give you all the nations for an inheritance.

1 John 3:22–4:6
Beloved: We receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us. Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit whom he gave us.
Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist who, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world. You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them. We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

The disciples pluck corn on the sabbath. (1-5) Works of mercy suitable to the sabbath day. (6-11) The apostles chosen. (12-19) Blessings and woes declared. (20-26) Christ exhorts to mercy. (27-36) And to justice and sincerity. (37-49)
(37-49) All these sayings Christ often used; it was easy to apply them. We ought to be very careful when we blame others; for we need allowance ourselves. If we are of a giving and a forgiving spirit, we shall ourselves reap the benefit. Though full and exact returns are made in another world, not in this world, yet Providence does what should encourage us in doing good. Those who follow the multitude to do evil, follow in the broad way that leads to destruction. The tree is known by its fruits; may the word of Christ be so grafted in our hearts, that we may be fruitful in every good word and work. And what the mouth commonly speaks, generally agrees with what is most in the heart. Those only make sure work for their souls and eternity, and take the course that will profit in a trying time, who think, speak, and act according to the words of Christ. Those who take pains in religion, found their hope upon Christ, who is the Rock of Ages, and other foundation can no man lay. In death and judgment they are safe, being kept by the power of Christ through faith unto salvation, and they shall never perish.
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
CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
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

STRENGTHEN MY HEART
Have mercy on me, my Lord and my God;
For I am distressed – in chains I am shod;
My tears flow like rivers – raging from strain;
My heart is pierced – my throat aches in pain!
My life spent in sorrow – and in deep regret;
My sins are before me – I cannot forget;
In repentance I seek You – for right relief;
Your loving kindness is – my refuge – belief!
Lord – affliction – has broken down my strength;
From helplessness, stress – I suffer at length;
My foes have encompassed me – all around;
They ravage me daily – destruction bound!
I trust in You, Lord – take comfort in You;
Come to my aid – Lord – Refresh me anew;
My life is in Your hands – if it be Your Will;
Calm the waters – from their raging – be still!
Feed me – knead me – with Your nourishing grace;
Through faith without fear – my weakness erase;
Infuse me with courage – and strengthen me;
Help me be steadfast – a stronghold like Thee!
Let me be glad and rejoice in Your love;
Assured in Your goodness sent from above;
Let me not – for one moment – be fearful;
Keep me far from unsure – doubtful – tearful!
Free me from distress – of body and mind;
Help me walk self-assured – no longer blind;
With my life in Your hands – deliver me;
From the throes of my foes – let me be free!
Strengthen My Heart – as only You know how;
Pour forth Your knowledge – understanding now;
Send in Your angels – with reinforcements;
Lift up my spirit – in inch increments!
Send forth Your Spirit – to enlighten me;
With knowledge – understanding – wisdom be;
A tower of strength – instilled in my heart;
Let not Your Spirit – from me ere depart!
Strengthen My Heart – my Lord and my King;
Let the indwelling Spirit – His power bring;
Your justice – Oh Lord – from on high rain down;
Let Your Heavenly Grace – be forever my crown!

Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
☘
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart
Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.
Serenity at Day’s End
Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.
Prayer for Restful Stillness
Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.
Nighttime Whisper for Peace
Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.
Prayer for Gentle Rest
Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.

OH MO-PEACE – HOW CAN WE EVER THANK YOU FOR ALL OF. THE FLOWER ARTWORK AND TUNES ???
I WROTE THIS POEM A LONG TIME AGO – I HOPE IT SUFFICES TO SAY ‘THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO TO BRIGHTEN OUR DAY HERE IN THE TREEHOUSE” !!!
ODE TO MO MOLON
Oh, Mo Molon – Curious to know
Just how does your great garden grow
With bonny bluebells and cockle shells
Wisteria and hysteria spells
And some other stuff we don’t know
The gardens they are glorious
A gardener who is victorious
So many flowers
It would take hours
To name them all would be laborious
Daily we are so blessed to view
The beauty we see and review
Not to mention the colour
From this sure flower scholar
Magnificence out of the blue
Oh, Mo Molon – we thank you profusely
Oh, my how you attract us abstrusely
When out of nowhere
We scroll by and stare
Bass ackwards upside down and obtusely
Now that you are totally confused
Perhaps even a little amused
We hope you can see
We appreciate thee
Please pardon the pun misused

Amos 3:7
[7]Surely the Lord God does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.
The 5 fold ministry N.T.
Ephesians 4:11-13
[11]And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
[12]for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;
[13]until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

I was skeptical at first, but listening for over 1.5 years, and comparing it to the bible, these prophesies are coming to pass. The Lord is moving right now. And He is equipping the Church.
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
