I'm glad you all got something out of it. The Lord has been really showing me the huge difference in the saved and unsaved is that we know and apply the Truth and the unsaved are captive to lies, and they just keep falling for more and more lies, until they finally will fall for the antichrist.

True Kelly. I sure hope Jesus comes soon! I know He's being patient so that more can be saved though, and I can't feel bad about that, yet I really hope this age of Grace ends soon.

We did our shopping Saturday and Shopped for Christopher too, so it was a long day. Then yesterday, after church, Jennifer came over with the kids (Elijah and Grace). We had a great time. We played Monopoly for hours. It wasn't the game that made our time fun though, it was all the laughter while playing it. I love it when they come over because we always wind up laughing a lot. Laughter really is the best medicine!
But now I've got to get to my chores. I'd rather stay here though
I posted this today. It's something I've been seeing in my Bible Study time each day. It shows how and why the world is the way it is right now. (I think it does anyway lol) Let me know what you think, if you read it.

Jesus often started important truths by literally saying, “I tell you the Truth”. Jesus also said He was “the Way the Truth and the Life”. (John 14:6) Jesus called the Holy Spirit "the Spirit of Truth" a number of times, as in John 15:26. God the Father is called "the God of Truth" in Isaiah 65:16 and in a number of other scriptures. The Bible, God’s Word, is called “the Word of Truth” and it teaches us that God uses His Word to give us birth, in other words, it’s through His Word that we’re saved and sanctified - changed to be more like Jesus. (James 1:17; Jn 17:17, Col 1:5; 1Th 2:13; 1Pe 1:23–25) The gospel is also called “the Word of Truth.” Salvation was conceived by "the God of Truth" (Ps. 31:5) and purchased by the Son, who is "the Truth" (John 14:6) and is applied by "the Spirit of Truth" (John 16:13). To know it is to know "the Truth that sets men free” (John 8:32). Believers are "people of the truth" (John 18:37), and we worship God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24) and obey "the Word of truth" (John 17:17). We’re told to "speak the Truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) and to “correctly handle the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) We have an anointing from God and we all "know the truth." (1 John 2:20–22) and Hebrews 5:12–6:2 tells us that it is through knowing and applying God’s Word that we train ourselves to distinguish good from evil, the truth from lies. John 8:31–32 says if we continue in God's Word daily and apply it to our lives, then we will "know the truth and the truth will set us free". Obviously from all of this we can see that Truth is very important. God tells us in His Word that we can’t trust our self or other people completely, we can only trust God and His Word if we want to know 100% Truth.
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure". (Jeremiah 17:9)
“This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man,” (Jeremiah 17:5)
“ The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.” (Ecclesiastes 9:3)
““What is man, that he could be pure, or one born of woman, that he could be righteous?” (Job 15:14–16)
But people have turned from the truth and now prefer lies, just as God has told us in 2 Timothy 4:3–4. They "exchange truth for lies" is also in Romans 1:25 and other places. We see that constantly today. Today the unsaved are listening to their corrupted hearts instead of listening to God and making up their own "truths". What they don't understand is that just because they refuse to admit that God's Word is true, doesn't make it any less true. A good example is gravity (a law God ordained for this world when He created it.) You can say you don't believe that law; you can say that if you jump out of a tree that you'll float up, but when you actually do it, God's law will still cause you to fall down. Today there are even people who say about Jesus, “I know him,” but do not do what he commands. We are told they are liars, and "the truth is not in them.” (1 John 2:4) Today, people love lies instead of the truth. Because they "refuse to love the truth and be saved" God will sending them a powerful delusion so that they'll believe the lie and be condemned. “But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.” (Romans 2:8) What we are seeing today is a preview of more evil to come. People love their sins and don't want to listen to the truth of what those sins will cost them. (2 Thessalonians 2:10–12) We will continue to see more and more evil called "good" and more and more lies called "truth". God says: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.” (Isaiah 5:20–21)
Please know that for every statement I've made there are many more scriptures that make that statement.

By Daymond Duck; November 19, 2022
Israel’s new government under former Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to be very conservative (Netanyahu won 64 seats, and his new government will include members from the far right that want to change things on the Temple Mount and the West Bank).
Biblically speaking, the U.S. should eagerly support equal rights for Jews on the Temple Mount (the right to go there, pray there, etc.), Israel’s annexation of all the West Bank (at least some of the Jewish settlements), and more, but White House officials are panicking over changes on the Temple Mount.
They are already criticizing people that may be in Netanyahu’s government, and on Nov. 8, 2022, it was reported that America’s ambassador to Israel said the U.S. will aggressively fight Israel’s annexation of all or part of the West Bank.
Those in the White House are opposing what the Bible says about God’s restoration of Israel, but they do not believe the Bible, so they ignore what it says.
America’s rejection of Jehovah and the Bible, its celebration of perversion, and its desire to divide Israel are major reasons why America is in trouble.
The situation on the Temple Mount will change, God’s Word will be fulfilled, the Jews will rebuild the Temple and resume the animal sacrifices, and the worthless hissy fits (displeasure, anger, temper tantrums) of unbelievers in the White House before the Netanyahu government is even formed will not stop that.
Here are some recent events that recently made the news.
One, concerning world government: on Nov. 10, 2022, Human Events posted an article by Ethan Peck that says:
- The leaders of all the G7 nations (7 major industrialized nations) took up the same slogan: “Build Back Better.”
- The CEOs of the 3 American pharmaceutical companies that developed a vaccine for Covid-19 are frequent attendees of World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings.
- The founders of Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google have all attended WEF Young Global Leaders (YGL) training events.
- Several of the most recognizable people in the media are graduates of the YGL school.
Peck astutely points out that all these people have one common denominator: the WEF.
(Question: What are the odds that all 7 major industrialized nations would adopt the same slogan in the same year?)
Two, concerning financing world government and wealth redistribution: on Nov. 8, 2022, a report was released at the COP27 meeting that calls for “developed countries” to start giving one trillion dollars a year before 2030 to “emerging markets and developing countries,” plus it was suggested that they also cut subsidies on fossil fuels and impose “carbon taxes” to raise about $1.4 trillion dollars more.
I cannot predict what world leaders will do, but these fanatics want control of everyone on earth and more than two trillion dollars of financing pouring in every year before 2030.
(Note: A recent poll found that more than 40% of highly respected climate scientists do not believe that climate change is settled science. The high level of skepticism among experts is one reason why many Bible prophecy teachers believe climate change is a scam to justify the establishment of a world government.)
Three, concerning a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to eventually track all buying and selling: on Nov. 15, 2022, the NY Federal Reserve Bank announced a pilot program to explore the use of CBDCs for the next 3 months.
Several large banks and Master Card will participate in this pilot program.
I cannot predict what they will do, but I expect them to test the CBDC for the next 3 months and put it into use in at least some places early next year (unless the House or God stops them).
This will be a major step toward a new global economic system and the Mark of the Beast.
Four, concerning the decline of America: on Nov. 14, 2022, the Washington Examiner reported that Pres. Biden implied that the mid-term elections were a repudiation of former Pres. Trump’s “America First” foreign policy agenda.
In a past speech, Biden said “America First” is dead.
Biden’s goal is “Globalism First” (cause the decline of America and Build it Back Better with the New World Order), and he wants the U.S. to lead it.
(My Opinion: On Nov. 15, 2022, former Pres. Trump announced that he will run for president again in 2024. I believe we can expect Biden and America’s shadow government to do everything they can to lock the U.S. into a world government before the election.)
Five, concerning the mid-term elections in Pennsylvania: State Rep. Tony DeLuca was running for re-election, but he died on Oct. 9, 2022 (one month before the vote).
It was too late to change the ballots, so DeLuca’s name was still listed when the election took place.
Pennsylvania will now hold a special election to replace the deceased man that more than 85% of the people voted for.
(Note: Concerning corruption in the election: a Rasmussen survey on Nov. 8-9, 2022, found that 30% of likely voters believed that cheating was “very likely,” and 27% believed it was “likely.”)
(Note: Following the collapse of Crypto Exchange FTX, there have been reports that the head of the company gave more than $38 million of stolen money to Democrats to help them win the mid-term elections, and we may never know the truth, but one report said he was running a gigantic slush fund that was funneling money that was appropriated for Ukraine to selected Democrats.)
(My opinion: Those who do not believe there is corruption in the elections probably believe our border with Mexico is secure, we don’t have a drug problem, inflation is under control, Hunter’s laptop was disinformation, men can get pregnant, our border patrol agents beat immigrants with the reins of their horses, etc. Sadly, it looks like a strong delusion has come upon America.)
Six, concerning COP27 (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change): a reader asked this question, “I would like to know what that means to you in the prophecy world?”
Here is my slightly altered answer:
- In essence, globalists are worshipping Mother Earth, the creation instead of the Creator (they are transforming climate change into a religion).
- Globalists are replacing God’s Ten Commandments with ten commandments that have nothing to do with God.
- They are seeking to make their commandments global law, and that would empower them to persecute those that do not keep those global laws.
- Attacking the Ten Commandments is an attack on Christians and Jews.
- Globalists are replacing the Commandments written by the finger of God on stone tablets with commandments written by humans or a machine on paper.
- The world religion is shaping up at the same time that globalists are working to establish a world government and world economic system.
- All of this means the Rapture is close.
Seven, in a Nov. 12, 2022, American Thinker article, author Eric Utter reported that the UN and World Economic Forum (WEF) are working together on ways to dramatically reduce the population of the earth as part of the Great Reset.
Notice that Utter said “reduce” the population of the earth, not “maintain” the population of the earth.
According to Utter, the goal is to reduce the population of the earth by 50% or more by 2050.
Utter asks, “Who gets to decide which humans are expendable, unneeded?”
Eight, concerning a population reduction on earth: on Nov. 14, 2022, it was reported that the Australian government is now saying the danger of vaccinated males age 16-40 getting myocarditis (an infection in the heart that hinders the heart’s ability to pump blood) may be greater than the danger of getting Covid.
According to the report, citizens were told the Covid shots are safe, but they are not.
From now on, the Australian government will advise citizens under thirty not to take the fourth shot.
(More: On Nov. 15, 2022, it was reported that Covid vaccinations have caused an increase of death in all age groups by almost 300,000 people in the 27-nation EU during the first 44 weeks of 2022.)
Nine, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: it is being reported that Russia has lost more than 100,000 troops and many weapons in its war against Ukraine.
This is terrible for the Russian troops and their families, and God can destroy Russia’s military no matter how many troops and weapons they have, but He may be weakening the Russian military before it attacks Israel.
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

That's what it sounded like to me too Kelly! Chris is doing a little better. We went over yesterday to check on him and he was able to even take a shower on his own. (he has a good shower chair in the shower. The bathroom is all set up for the handicapped which helps a lot.)
Well, as much as I hate it, I guess I'd better go do my chores....can't think of any way I can avoid them any longer

Good morning all! Thanks Barbara! We had our first snow early this morning, but it's all washed away from rain now I have yet more good news! I'm not sure if I told you all or not, but Christopher's been really sick this past week, so we had to spend a lot of time taking care of him. My doctor's office called the first day this happened to remind me to pick up my meds. She could tell something was wrong and asked me about it, so I told her about Chris. I explained that he'd called and gotten accepted as a new patient but his first appointment wasn't until February, and that I was sure that was because he hadn't told them that he was sick. That morning, I wasn't sure that Chris would survive and told her I expected I'd have to call for an ambulance. She asked me to let her know how Chris was doing when I came by to pick up my meds, so I did. I thought she was just being nice, but she started a chart for him and wrote everything down that I said. Then she went and spoke to a doctor about him! When she came back (I'd been there almost an hour by then!) she said she could get Chris in for his first appointment in 5 days. Obviously, if he was admitted, then they'd take him on then too. Thankfully, I didn't have to call the ambulance that day, but it was close. He got a little better each day, but was still having a big problem walking yesterday, which was when his appointment was. The doctor spent a hour and a half with Chris. (I was in the room with him) and I was very impressed with her. She refilled all his meds and is scheduling him for a MRI, a brain scan, a mammogram, xrays, an ultrasound, and blood work. She also set him up with a neurology appointment and one for pain management. She set his next appointment with her for two weeks from now, just to make sure he's doing better or if something else is needed right away.
I felt like the Lord had stepped in and just took over to make sure Chris was taken care of and given the best treatment possible. (which is exactly what I'd prayed for!)
Hopefully, he will be able to walk by the time of his next appointment. Anyway, we were all happy about the appointment, but by the time we got Chris back home and then ourselves back home, we were totally exhausted. I wasn't up to doing anything at all for the rest of the day. Chris hadn't told me he was out of most of his meds, or I would have made sure he got in to see a doctor even sooner. Now that he again has them all, he should start feeling better. Plus she gave him a new one which will hopefully stop his shaking, or at least lessen it. God is just so very good!
Now I need to run again as I have yet more chores to catch up on!

By Daymond Duck;
There are times when I don’t know what to tell people about something in the news.
No born-again Christian wants to be a false teacher, but lies, fake news, censorship, war, and unexpected events make it difficult to know what to believe.
More than 30 years ago, I was teaching that the rider on the black horse in Rev. 6:5-6 represents food shortages, famine, and economic disaster.
It wasn’t long until I decided that it was accurate to say that the rider on the black horse represents hyperinflation and a global economic collapse after the Rapture.
I added “after the Rapture” because people were asking me when I thought the global economy would collapse. (Not all agree, but I believe the first six seal judgments take place after the Rapture and early in the Tribulation Period.)
To be clear, I emphasized that I was talking about a “global” economic collapse, not the collapse of one or two individual nations.
I am not qualified to give financial advice or to say much about global financial matters,
It would be easy for me to misunderstand something.
Anyway, I believe the economy of individual nations that don’t have a strong economy (Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Afghanistan, for example) could collapse without triggering a global economic collapse.
But the U.S. economy is so big, if it collapsed, it could cause a global economic collapse.
I am sharing this with you because some so-called experts are saying the U.S. and the world are on the brink of a global economic disaster, and I am wondering if I should ignore what they are saying or pass it on.
With the World Economic Forum saying we will own nothing, and some leaders seemingly trying to deliberately cause an economic collapse, I decided to say something.
So, here are two opinions that I have about what I think is happening:
- First, every economy on earth must change to bring in a system that can track all buying and selling. The U.S. economy is changing, and it is a known fact that the U.S. is looking at a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) right now. So, America’s economic problems could be setting the stage for a new currency.
- Second, Ten Kings (leaders over regions) must rise to power before the Antichrist rises. This requires a weakening of the U.S. and a shift in power toward other groups of nations. It looks like power is shifting away from the U.S. and toward China, Russia, the Middle East, etc., right now.
Here are some recent reports that seem to relate to this and other Bible prophecies.
One, concerning hyperinflation and a global economic collapse: on Nov. 3, 2022, Market Watch reported that Hedge Fund giant Elliott Management notified investors that:
- The world is headed toward the worst financial crisis since World War II.
- The world is on the path to hyperinflation.
- Central Bank policymakers have been dishonest about the cause of high inflation.
- Markets are going to decline, but they can’t predict when.
- Politicians blame the economic problems on supply chain issues and Covid instead of their spending programs.
This financial crisis could be setting the stage for a new currency (CBDC).
Here is a link to the article.
www.marketwatch.com/story/hedge-fund-giant-elliott-warns-looming-hyperinflation-could-lead-to-global-societal-collapse-11667470081.
Two, concerning inflation and an economic collapse of the U.S.: on Nov. 3, 2022, Mike Adams (Natural News) expressed his opinion:
- That Pres. Biden snubbed Mohammed bin Salman and so alienated Saudi Arabia that the Saudis have now declared that China (not the U.S.) is its reliable partner for energy and trade. (Put another way, the Saudis don’t trust the U.S. anymore, and they plan to stop using the petrodollar.)
- That the petrodollar (the 1971 agreement for the U.S. to provide military protection to Saudi Arabia in exchange for the Saudis trading their oil for U.S. dollars) will soon end, and that will lead to the collapse of the U.S. dollar.
- That petrodollars are why the U.S. dominates the global economy, and the end of petrodollars by Saudi Arabia and other nations will end U.S. global economic dominance.
- That the end of U.S. global economic dominance will lead to a decline in the dollar’s value, hyperinflation in the U.S., and ultimately the collapse of the dollar.
Adams did not say when he thinks the dollar will collapse, but here is a link to the article.
www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-03-dollar-dominance-scheduled-for-termination-as-saudi-arabia-declares-china-partner.html
(My opinion: Saudi Arabia’s shift away from the U.S. and toward China may ultimately lead to a weakening of the U.S. and the strengthening of other groups of nations (Russia, China, Middle East, etc.)
Three, concerning energy shortages: on Oct. 28, 2022, it was reported that companies in New York and New England have started rationing home heating oil.
Four, concerning the deliberate destruction of America’s energy independence and the effort to weaken America: in early Nov. 2022, Pres. Biden said, “We’re going to be shutting these (coal) plants down all across America and having wind and solar power” (Note: Biden said this but without explanation. Biden’s Press Sec. said his words were being “twisted” by the media.)
On Nov. 6, 2022, Biden went to New York to campaign for Kathy Hochul, and he said, “No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
These are Biden’s own words, and it is a major reason why the dollar is dying (and the price of gasoline, diesel fuel, utilities, and food will keep going up).
Five, concerning the decline of America: on Nov. 7, 2022, the U.S. Navy raised the enlistment age from 39 to 41 because they can’t attract enough recruits to serve.
Six, concerning persecution: on Nov. 2, 2022, Gary Bauer wrote this in his Campaign for Working Families: End of Day Report:
- “A transgender epidemic is sweeping America’s youth.”
- “The Biden Administration and congressional Democrats are pushing legislation and regulation that gives trans ideology supremacy over everything, including religious liberty.”
- “If you have a religious objection to the bizarre idea that your biology can be ‘changed’ or ‘fixed,’ the left is going to smash you using the full power of government and social media censorship.”
In my words, Bauer said if you believe there are only two genders for religious reasons, you should know that Democrats believe trans ideology is more important than religious freedom, and they will not hesitate to use the power of the government against you.
Seven, concerning the significance of the Israeli election: as of Nov. 2, 2022, former Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have the support of 62 or more seats (enough to give him a majority in the 120-seat Knesset).
On Nov. 8, 2022, Pres. Herzog will probably designate him to form a government.
Netanyahu will have 4 weeks to do that, and he can request 2 more weeks that Herzog might grant if Netanyahu needs them.
Some estimates indicate that Netanyahu may have won enough support to form a strong, conservative government.
He is more religious and less secular than his predecessors.
With a stronger, more conservative government than he has had in the past (and more religious Jews in his new government), some commentators believe he is likely to expand Jewish freedoms (allow an altar, more prayer, etc.) on the Temple Mount.
Eight, concerning a one-world religion (or global ethic): two weeks ago, I mentioned that representatives from almost 200 nations, the World Economic Forum (WEF), big business, and others were planning to attend the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Egypt.
COP27 is scheduled to run from Nov. 6-18, 2022, at Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which is about 130 miles from Mt. Sinai where God gave the Ten Commandments.
This week, a reader sent me a link to an incredible message by Pastor Brandon Holthaus (Rock Harbor Church; Nov. 4, 2022). “The Whore of Babylon Visits Mt. Sinai” link is that I highly recommend to anyone who has the time (almost 60 min. long).
The message is too long for me to share here, but here are a few points from the message as I understood it.
- A group called the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development that is attending COP 27 is planning to go to Mt. Sinai to release a set of ten commandments on climate change (on Nov. 14, 2022).
- The group has chosen Mt. Sinai because that is where God gave the Ten Commandments in the Bible to Moses.
- The stated goal of their climate change commandments is to add religious guidance (merge religion and politics) to U.N. public policy discussions.
- This appears to be an effort to replace the Ten Commandments in the Bible with ten commandments on climate change and to make their commandments global policy or global law.
- If this group succeeds in making their ten commandments on climate change global policy, they will use them against people that don’t agree with them. (The Bible teaches that those that don’t comply with global policy during the Tribulation Period will be killed.)
- The Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses at Mt. Sinai are God’s eternal law on how a society should be structured, and breaking them is a sin.
- These globalists intend for society to be structured their way, not God’s way.
- This is the Whore of Babylon (the merger of religion and government) taking shape under the guise of saving the planet or Mother Earth (Rev. 17-18).
(My opinion: It is obvious that the globalist plan to Build Back Better is a plan to use Covid, climate change, or whatever to tear down all the societies on earth and replace them with an anti-Jehovah, anti-Christ, anti-Bible government run by atheists and gays. These “reprobate minds” are “without natural affection,” trying to create a god and people in their image. They are “casting truth to the ground,” trying to kill multitudes to reduce the population of the earth, trying to reset the economy to gain control of everyone, etc. God will remove the “Restrainer,” give them 7 years to accomplish their goals, and it will be the worst failure in history.)
(More: I am not a prophet, but since these globalists are going to Mt. Sinai to replace the Ten Commandments, it wouldn’t surprise me if they decided to build a headquarters for their global religion and global economic system at Babylon. They don’t need a lot of time to do it, and it might not happen before the Rapture, but time will tell.)
Nine, concerning world government and religion: the move to get rid of the Ten Commandments is also a move to get rid of the entire Bible, Jehovah, and Jesus.
On Nov. 4, 2022, it was reported that a cross depicting the crucifixion of Jesus in a room in Germany where Foreign Ministers of the G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and the U. S.) holds regular meetings has been removed for all of their meetings.
According to the article, the Foreign Minister of Germany removed the cross “because Western elites no longer want to be reminded of their Christian faith or history.”
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Thanks Kelly and Marlene. I love the way the Lord answers us and reminds us to trust Him, even when it looks like He's ignoring us. Times like that I have to keep reminding myself that we live by faith, not by sight!
I've got to run today though. We were helping our neighbor last night who's taking care of his father as his father had a stroke. I'm behind on my chores so I've got to go get some done. I'd rather stay here though!

That was great! This helps remind me of things that I want to bring up in the Bible Study I'm doing with my neighbor too, so thank you! Talking about how God is angry reminds me of what I read in one of my notes in Daniel. It's from one of MacArthur's books. "Like Nebuchadnezzar, every lost person needs to understand that God is exceedingly angry with him. He must be confronted with the reality that he stands in inevitable judgment before a holy God who must react to his sin. What about you? Will you be like Daniel and warn the lost to flee God’s wrath? Like Jonathan Edwards, may this be your message: Let every one that is yet out of Christ, and hanging over the pit of hell, whether they be old men and women, or middle aged, or young people, or little children, now hearken to the loud calls of God’s word and providence. . . . Awake and fly from the wrath to come (Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, p. 32)."
My brain isn't working right at the moment...I seem to recall that you already saw my post about the amazing sermon MacArthur preached. But just in case my memory is wrong, here's a link to it as I'm sure you'll love it! I posted it in chat the other day, but just now reposted it in it's own thread here:
fresh-hope.com/thread/7621/hear-incredible-god
I have a new praise report that shows how incredible our God is, if you'd like to read it. It's in the chat thread: fresh-hope.com/thread/7452/chat-32-gods-temple?page=6&scrollTo=39125

A few days ago though I watched a sermon that absolutely blew me away! I wanted to share it with you guys as I'm sure you'll feel the same way. It sounds like a "normal sermon" up to just before the 7 minute mark. But at 7 minutes you'll begin to see why I say it blew me away. It really showed how amazing our God really is!

Thank you all for caring and praying for me and my family. I have some very good news today!
First, although he's still sick, Christopher is doing much better today. We also got him an appointment to see a local doctor this coming Tuesday. This will help a lot as his previous doctor was quite a long ways away, so this will make it easier on all of us, and for them to get him the help he needs at home. (So I probably won't be here Tuesday)
My daughter Jennifer saw the neurologist yesterday to go over all the tests. The neurologist was stunned because she was sure (as was I) that Jenn was having seizures again, but she's not!!!! What she's actually having are weird migraines! So they put her on some preventative medicine to see if that will help. She was cleared to go back to karate and a normal life immediately! I've been praising God ever since. While migraines aren't "good" to have, they're a lot better than seizures, and a lot better than the awful things that could have been wrong with her heart that would cause these episodes, so we're all very grateful.
Over the last 6 months of dealing with this issue with Jennifer, she and I both at times wondered why the Lord wasn't helping with this problem, especially since the whole church as well as others were constantly praying for her to be healed. I remember specifically during the last 3 day test, when we were desperately praying she would have an episode (what we thought was a seizure) so it would show up on the test. Everyone was so discouraged when she didn't have one, but I wasn't. I remember telling Jenn that I didn't understand how not having an episode would help, but that I knew that the Lord had arranged things during the test so that we would get the answers we needed, and more importantly, so that He would be glorified. So when we heard that although no seizure showed up on the test, migraines did, we were all thrilled and embarrassed. Embarrassed at our own lack of faith. God showed us that what looked like Him not answering our prayers was actually Him answering them all along! What an incredible God we serve!

sw7777 I'm glad you got away from the ouija board Steve. They're awful! I had a run in with them when I was a kid too.
@dominic Well, at least that Satanist learned of our God's power

Sorry I wasn't able to be here yesterday. My son was sick and we had to go and check on him. I haven't heard anything this morning yet, but we'll have to go check on him a little later anyway. A few days ago though I watched a sermon that absolutely blew me away! I wanted to share it with you guys as I'm sure you'll feel the same way. It sounds like a "normal sermon" up to just before the 7 minute mark. But at 7 minutes you'll begin to see why I say it blew me away. It really showed how amazing our God really is!

You did a great job Barbara! What you posted also reminds me of todays headlines, which is why I rarely see the news lol. I'd rather not read the news since I already know what's going to happen from God's Word. The little bit I wind up seeing or hearing from what other people tell me is more then enough to tell me that everything is going according to God's plan. Therefore, I don't need to worry about anything.

Well, I guess we had our Indian summer as it was 90 two days ago, then yesterday it was in the 30's! Talk about a big difference! It looks like that's the last hot day we'll have till next summer. I didn't sleep much at all night before last, so I was out of it yesterday. But we did go vote. I laughed out loud as I was reading who to vote for. Our sheriff was listed as both republican and democrat!
Marlene, if I ever did that on Bruce's truck, it wouldn't be safe for me when he found it!
Well, off to check the Bible study that Barbara's working on.
