The scrooge movie and book … was the eternal story of transformation back to GOD!
It was writen by GOD, given to the author in earth! And this story is for YOU!
In one night! ONE NIGHT, a horrible, nasty person … with anti-god thoughts, full of hate, anger, and dark to the bone!
In ONE NIGHT the story is an story where YOU can change!
A dead partner of scroge died and “visited scroog ….was allowed to visit scrooge, … and tell him what it was like for him, walking in darkness, watching others suffer on earth, and being unable to HELP those “poor people”.
It can happen to YOU in one day! toooo. GOD does love you, and wants you to make a LOVING change, and not a dark evil change. Is your Heart filled with LOVE … please be honest with yourself.
Go inside and really, really, ask GOD to reveal HIMSELF to you in a way that doesn’t scare you. GOD is very gentle with HIS little children. When GOD gives you the “gift” … GOD will LIVE in your HEART.
And the whole universe will look completely different.
Trump has been scrooged in his life. I see it. Do you see it. Many have not had this experience YET. But if you did have this experience “YOU KNOW” . To keep GOD LIVING in your HEART, … is the most precious “gift” in the universe.

This article is a grim summary of a new report from Aid to the Church in Need.
Persecution of Christians worsens in almost 56% of countries studied, with none improving – Church in Need
According to the latest ACN figures, 413 million Christians live in countries where serious violations of religious freedom occur. About 220 million Christians worldwide are directly exposed to persecution.
“What is shocking is just how mainstream — dare I say tolerated — the persecution of Christians is as simply part of the global reality,” commented Bishop Robert J. Brennan of Brooklyn, N.Y. “Awareness of so much persecution moves us to a greater solidarity with our brothers and sisters who are suffering. As Christians, we pray and cry out for respect for religious freedom of all people in every land.”
The sobering full report is here. It covers the persecution of Christians country-by-country, which makes a fine list of countries from which non-Christian immigration into the USA immediately should be halted, imo. I know our President is trying to protect us with visa bans &tc but bad judges keep blocking him at our potential expense.
