We Shall Overcome!

Heavenly Father, we come to you in Jesus name asking that this blog post be protected against all forms of evil.   We ask that you open the eyes, ears and hearts of unbelievers.  

In Jesus name, we bind all demons that have attached themselves to your Sons & Daughters — they are sent to the edge of the pit of Hell in chains where they can’t come back!   Please bring clarity to those focusing on rules, laws, ceremonies, festivals & religious activities rather than faith.   We know you see our hearts and we can’t hide behind religious activities to win our eternal reward in Heaven.  We ask for greater portions of Conviction, Clarity, Discernment & Wisdom to come to those caught up in these things.

It’s only through your Son Jesus that we have been made worthy; as NOTHING WE CAN DO will ever make us worthy to enter the kingdom without him.  It’s in the blood of Jesus where we can keep our robes white and clean daily, by repenting of any and all sin; even those that are just in thought and not in action.   Let all of us show Love to one another in patience, just as you do with each of us.  We ask that you help guard our Tongues and Thoughts so we don’t open a door for the enemy to enter.

We thank you for working with all of us just as we are.   Thank You for sharing the truth in your word. Thank You for giving the entire planet a way of salvation beyond those born and raised as Jewish.  Thank You Jesus for your Love, Mercy & Grace and for talking to all of us on an individual level.  In Jesus name… Amen & Amen.


John 16:33 
I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

Proverbs 12:21 No disaster overcomes the righteous, but the wicked are full of misery.

John 1:4-5

4 Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.
5 That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

1 Corinthians 10:13 
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.

don't snooze

Matthew 26:41 Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered them, “I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

Luke 5:20 Seeing their faith He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”

Luke 12:28 If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you—you of little faith?

Acts 14:27 After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported everything God had done with them and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

Acts 20:21 I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

Walk_By_Faith_Main

Acts 26:18 to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that by faith in Me they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified.’

Romans 1:17 For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

Walk_By_Faith2

Romans 4:13  For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Romans 4:16 This is why the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace, to guarantee it to all the descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of Abraham’s faith. He is the father of us all

Romans 5:1  Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless you fail the test.

Galatians 2:11-21

11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned. 12 For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party. 13 Then the rest of the Jews joined his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

15 We who are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners”   16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ.  And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

17 But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not! 18 If I rebuild the system I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker. 19 For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ 20 and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

Ephesians 2:8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—

Philippians 3:9 and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, 2 through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared. 3 They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

Matthew 7:21-23

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

  1. I’m so grateful the Lord is so patient with us. This past year Holy Spirit has highlighted areas in my heart that have been painful to say the least. Not that He hasn’t done this over the years but this last months………I went from always beating myself up to easing up more and more in that area and just trusting Him ……………………..to Him showing me areas that I never, ever would have thought of and that in itself shows me it’s all Him. There really can be comfort in knowing He disciplines those He loves and there can be joy amidst persecution (although I don’t believe we’ve seen anything yet so to speak) and trials.

    We shall overcome by the Blood of the Lamb. Surrender, surrender and even in that word, there’s always more areas to surrender that He points out…..

  2. Daily Devotional — 7/18/17

    Making the Lord Our Banner
    “Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner.” Exodus 17:15

    The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. God instructed Moses to stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in his hand. Moses’ staff represented something that God said He would use to bring glory to Himself. The staff represented what Moses had done for most of his life – shepherding. It was his vocation. When God first called Moses at the burning bush, He told him to pick up the staff; He would perform miracles through it.

    God wants to perform miracles through each of our vocations. At Rephidim, God defeated the Amalekites only when Moses held his staff to Heaven. It was a symbol of dependence and acknowledgment that Heaven was the source of the Israelites’ power. When he dropped his hand, the power was removed and they began to lose the battle. Each day we are challenged to reach toward Heaven and allow God to be the source of victory in the workplace or be defeated. God calls us to let His banner reign over the workplace so that others may know the source of our victory. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven’ ” (Ex. 17:14). The Lord wants those behind us and around us to know that He is the source of our power and success. With each victory is a testimony that is to be shared with our children and our associates.

    Is the Lord your banner today? Reach toward Heaven today and let His banner wave over your work so that He might receive glory from your life.

  3. Sharing the truth is never easy to do, but we must continue no matter what the outcome is. Most don’t want to know the truth, as it makes them very uncomfortable.

    I know many have dropped off because of certain topics, that’s ok as this is not about me or my feelings — it’s about offering help to others and the Lord gets all the Glory.

    This is not about a “calling”, a “gift” or some title — I leave all of those alone, as I want the total Glory to go to the Lord and none of it for me. For me, this is not about how many “likes” or “follows” I get on the blog, it’s about sharing the truth.

    Praise The Lord — he gives us the strength to press on, even when others try to bring in a spirit of doubt! When we are truly listening to the Lord and following direction from the Holy Spirit, doubt has no place in our lives! The Lord brings correction to us directly and often from others; it’s how we receive it and process it that matters. If someone tries to bring correction, ask the Lord for the truth in it.

    1. Amen James!

      It’s true, many don’t want to hear the truth. And yes it does make them uncomfortable. I love the truth, even when it’s hard to hear, even when it’s uncomfortable… mostly because is sets me free and it keeps me humble.

      Truth is what you post and I respect you greatly for doing so. I see this blog as a safe place to come and know that if I say something wrong or am on the wrong track I instinctively know I will be corrected. But I also know I need to be corrected and I want to be corrected. We should all want that. Being a Christian isn’t about being right its about the truth, God’s truth. The truth in everything and if what we say or how we act isn’t based on truth then where are we and where are headed?

      This bog is a blessing for me and I’m sure for others too. We all know the reason you have it and what it’s purpose is. It goes without saying it’s all for the glory of God and to bring His children in line with His word. There is no doubt the good you do here. God’s glory shines through and it shines through brightly with His truth.

      Thank you James for bringing us truth and for being steadfast. May the Lord pour His Blessings upon you.
      Sincerely,
      Vicki

  4. Speaking of truth…here’s my testimony of the Lord leading me to “Overcome” by showing me the truth. This has been a long and hard journey, one I don’t want to repeat over and over again. I ask for your continued prayers to keep me aligned in the truth that was revealed to me so I don’t falter.

    Once again the Lord has showed His faithfulness. He does that well and He does it for all who ask in His Name.

    The Lord began applying the final touches this past Wednesday to (once and for all) show me how to overcome what I’ll call a problem that has been tormenting me off and on for decades. The torment began when I was a little girl and has continued on and off to present. Because of this problem and for years I have been crying out asking why? Why did this happen to me, why is this happening to me and why am I being tormented by it? I wasn’t aware, that is, I wasn’t aware until Sunday that His hand was in what was going on around me for the past five days and that an answer(s) was on its way.

    Why does it take so long to get an answer? I think for me it’s because I don’t always immediately surrender…but sometimes I don’t know that I haven’t. I don’t think it’s a direct disobedience as though I’m ignoring Him. I would never want to do that. I only know He knows my heart and so He waits…because God is all knowing and our lives are based on His will and His timing we must wait too. So I accept that He knows what is best for me. I think He builds us and when certain parts are finished and we’re ready He reveals what we need to know at that particular time. I’ve been worked on many times before and it always seems to go this way.

    In regard to this problem…and at this time I fully surrendered and I now have my answer(s). It was, in hindsight, a simple thing to figure out but we don’t always see what’s right in front of us. Maybe, just maybe we’re not meant to know all the answers until the Lord wants us to know them. For me, and in this case, it was an accumulation of incidences all happening in a short period of time of each other that had me in a place of depression, once again. It’s easy to see in hindsight that by Wednesday the Lord was involving a personal friend. As time went along (in the past five days) He was also using the wisdom of people (unknowingly) here on this blog who were sharing their stories and experiences as well. Most importantly the Holy Spirit had directed me to watch something on TV, something I didn’t want to watch that ended up bringing it all together. Praise the Lord Holy Spirit is more determined to get His way then I was. The TV show was a short series and it was at about the 7th or 8th part of 13 parts that I began to see some light…like someone had pulled the curtain back from a very large window. I saw the light as though I was coming out of darkness. The lesson/answer(s) all came together as the end drew near and I sat and talked about what I had just watched with my husband.

    And that is how the Lord works His perfect love in our lives!!! Amen & Amen

    On Sunday He ever so gently nudged me forward to a place of peace. Today is awesome and peaceful and joyful and when I opened your blog yesterday James and I saw….”We Shall Overcome”. It’s perfect and in perfect timing! Who does that, or should I say who makes that kind of thing happen? Who knew that yesterday the Holy Spirit would work through you to bring us this post?

    ANSWER…The one and only King of Kings, the Lord of Lords…Jesus Christ our Saviour.

    So we should never underestimate our words, our deeds, and our knowledge and we should keep sharing our journey wherever and whenever we can. We never know how it may impact or help another move forward in their journey, bringing them one step closer to peace and joy. Who knows, it may even save a life now and eternally.

    John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

    Thank You Jesus

    Psalm 86:12 – I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

    Blessings…

    Oh and maybe we shouldn’t throw the TV away just yet…it’s not all bad. Could be it’s all in how we use it and how the Holy Spirit leads us to use it.

    1. Vicki, I love the way you worded all you shared. The not knowing an area may not be surrendered has been huge for me to start being more aware of. Praise the Lord He is faithful and yes, His peace is amazing when those times of healing and refreshing come. I’m tired but also have been at a place of His peace and could have used most of what you shared to explain the process. Never wanting to repeat. Praise the Lord!

      I didn’t do my prayer walk yet and need to. Also asking for prayer to walk this out because the enemy is hitting livestock, pets and many ridiculous areas that are meant to wear down, distract and the whole thing. In other words he’s trying to steal what the Lord has done. He’s not getting away with this. Covered by the Blood and going out to pray over all right this moment.

  5. When a person speaks truth is subjective to his/her experiences and learning.

    The Word of the Lord holds so many supernatural wisdom over a long period of time id call it an object of truth without counterpart. So many have tried to disprove the bible through the years but it always comes afloat.

    Truth can be sunk in a sea of lies but its buoyancy always surfaces it amongst the pollution of lies!

    There is art for you Vicki to paint the truth floating and cleansing 🙂

      1. James…WOW! I had forgotten this post. Thank You for sharing it. Where have all those wonderful people gone?

        Reading it brings me to tears. I can see and I’m amazed at how strong I sound and how sure I was that I would never have to feel that old emotional pain again. The kind I wrote about above.

        After reading it from start to finish I must confess, I have disobeyed the Lord. I was to begin a blog to share the paintings, I did start the blog, but I was to continue that blog to glorify God. He would supply the paintings and I the lessons learned as directed by Him. I was also to share the paintings in print form. He was clear. I didn’t purposely disobey Him but I did and that’s what matters. When I started my blog I immediately was met with problems with navigating. I prayed for direction and even ask you for help. You graciously helped when I ask. I became very frustrated and eventually gave up only posting every now and then. I remember feeling like I wasn’t worthy or smart enough to accomplish this task….well now, aren’t they lies straight from the pits of hell!!!! These painting and any the Lord had in store to paint through were meant to heal and bring peace and joy to others.

        I do believe I now know why I have not painted in so long and why I have had repeats of past negative emotions, even why I have had illness. I’m sure I have allowed interference of the Holy Spirit by the enemy. Now I must rebuke his presents in Jesus Name and ask the Lord to begin again to do His work through me as I strive to glorify and honor Him.

        I want to publicly admit my sin and am asking for forgiveness for not following through and for not obeying the Lord. Will you all please forgive me?

        Father God, I come before you Praising You and Honoring You and Thanking You for showing me where I have sinned. I thank You for James and all our friends on this blog past and present and for their caring and thoughtfulness and also their prayers. I pray to You asking in Jesus Name for your forgiveness, forgiveness for not being obedient and not fully trusting You. I ask in Jesus Name that you place before me any and all sin that may be hidden from me, show me Lord where I else I have sinned. I ask for Your protection as I dress myself in Your full Armour and ask that you cover me in the blood of Jesus….keeping me safe from the enemy. I ask that You bind up any and all things that are not of You and send it back from where it came. I ask that all that is evil be bound for evermore, never to return. Thank You Jesus for Your love and faithfulness. I love You Lord. I ask theses favors and blessings in Jesus Name, Amen

        Another example of how the truth will set us free.

        Thank You again James for sharing!

  9. My Prayer Requests a/o 7-19-17:

    Heavenly Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus lifting up all of these requests to you. For in your word it says where 2 or more are gathered in your name, we can expect great things.

    We lift up:
    Those who are traveling for safety and guidance.
    Those that are under a religious spirit, that they be set free and do everything according to your will.
    Those that are being called to remove themselves from relationships, jobs, circumstances — that they do this in obedience and with your guidance.
    Those that have friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who are unsaved — that they be each of these people be given greater portions of conviction, so they can be used to help guide others to eternal peace with you.
    We lift up those caught up in false doctrines and beliefs, so they can have a personal walk with you and not rely on man.
    We lift up all those with diseases and afflictions, so they are 100% healed and use that testimony to help others find their way to the truth.
    We lift up all those who have lost friends and family to death, so this time of grief be replaced by total peace.
    We ask for the Spirit of truth to come to those that profess to be Christian, but are stuck in years of Church Doctrine — we ask that clarity comes to all of them.
    We ask for financial resources to come to Bette & John Stevens during this time of transition.
    We ask for financial resources to come to a fellow believer who desires to travel here for fellowship.
    We ask for financial resources to come to myself for the purpose of continued preparation for a place of refuge, dental needs and living expenses.
    We ask that any Satanic worshipers have everything returned to them void; that nothing harms them and instead they have greater portions of conviction fall upon them.
    We ask for 100% healing of Cody’s cataracts.
    We ask that only your will be done no matter where we live, and that we set aside our will to hear you clearly.
    We thank you for your love, mercy, grace and faithfulness. Thank You for everything you do. Thank You for all of the prayers answered.

    We give you all the praise, glory and honor. In Jesus Name.. Amen & Amen.

  10. I want to be transparent with everyone. Before I moved here in Arkansas out of obedience, I felt led to donate a lot of older furniture and other items to the needy or sell at a very low cost. This worked out very well for everyone. If I had not done that, the large UHaul Truck I had rented, would not have been large enough. The Lord has already provided a way to replace some of those items and I am still in need of a little more for others to stay here. There is nothing in my possession that is excessive and nobody can accuse me of “storing up treasures here on Earth” — All of this is just stuff and it will all pass away. Thank The Lord that I prefer treasures in Heaven and truly don’t care about making an impression on others about the “stuff” I have here.
    **************************************************************************************
    I may have already shared this testimony:

    After I discovered that lawn care was included in the rent here, I decided to offer a neighbor my lawn equipment for free in exchange that he keep the lawn mowed until I moved out. He in turn, gave this to another neighbor in exchange to pay off debt he had owed. This other neighbors lawn equipment no longer worked. How great is the Lord 🙂

  13. Big Brother Spying At Your Finest… I have a very cheap cell phone that I primarily just use for backup when our Electricity goes out here. I carry it in my Van for emergency purposes. Yesterday, I went to WalMart and when I got home I had a message something about “Please Rate Your Visit”??? It was a message from some application attached to Google Maps that was tracking my every move! It even sent me a picture of the WalMart store I was just in….Very Very Creepy! I shut off those notifiers and removed that tracking application, which was put behind the Google Maps app. I don’t use my cell phone very much – I get notifications from our Electric Company on outages and also Weather notifications.

    Speaking of Weather — They sent out a Heat Advisory Warning for my town — They claim heat index of around 105 F today from 1pm – 8pm. I’m very thankful for all of the trees around this property 🙂

    1. Hi James, a couple years ago I discovered a similar feature in my iPhone operating system that was tracking my phone and logging the locations I visited. I turned the feature off but am not confident the information is not still being sent covertly to Apple and/or the NSA. In fact, I would assume the NSA could track anyone with a cell phone in real time even if the power is turned off.

      When martial law comes and the powers that be want to locate “undesirables,” probably the first thing they’ll do is track the cell phone. The only way around this is to put your phone in a Farraday bag that blocks electromagnetic signals. You can get them on Amazon like this one:

      1. Oxford dictionaries word of the year for 2016 – post-truth

        post-truth adjective –
        Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.

        The earliest known usage of post-truth –
        Post-truth seems to have been first used in this meaning in a 1992 essay by the late Serbian-American playwright Steve Tesich in The Nation magazine. Reflecting on the Iran-Contra scandal and the Persian Gulf War, Tesich lamented that ‘we, as a free people, have freely decided that we want to live in some post-truth world’. There is evidence of the phrase ‘post-truth’ being used before Tesich’s article, but apparently with the transparent meaning ‘after the truth was known’, and not with the new implication that truth itself has become irrelevant…..Why am I not surprised?

        Around the city here they are putting many vaccine propaganda billboards. One near us shows a pregnant woman’s belly with the caption, “I choose to vaccinate.” No facts, no science, nothing about autism, SIDS, sterility, cancer. Just appeals to emotion.

    1. Seeing this happen to a loved one on this journey. Prayers for freedom from alcohol for him. He sees, but doesn’t feel worthy of the Lord yet knows the Lord. He is surrounded by frenemies…. Users…. And one has dark secrets. I have him a word the Lord gave me yesterday, but the guy is choosing darkness….

      Will share more after my departure to the next destination. I am stunned by the way the Lord demonstrated His love during a horrific event….. Much warfare here but He is faithful! We warn, we share His love but the results are up to the person (s)

  14. Older cars and simpler phones help if one can manage. If one can find a restorated heavy duty military diewel pickup of say 1984 and older then it is even Emp proof because of low tech. But in a crisis where they round up people its.best to ditch the smartphone and take out the battery at the very least. And other phones use prepaid and when not using take out battery+the bag Mike mentioned.

    As on the.vaccine note i seen my own children to be physically very healthy and fit without vaccines. Only my second son has some issues because of autism or late development. But even he is showing tokens of improving.

    1. Here you go Stig, this is a picture of the type of phone we had when I was a kid. We got really excited when the dial was replaced with buttons 🙂 I think my family got one in the late 1960’s, early 1970’s. No GPS in these things.

    2. Stig, even work battery out the phone is still transmitting…..
      My phone goes, almost went already…the built in rfid is there.
      In a “comfort zone” the phone lulls into a false sense of security. Mine stopped working a couple hours on the trip. Caught in a deluge from monsoon season on the drive, yet now in hindsight, I realize the warning that was regarding the phone use here during this part of the trip. Soon it will be a time of the phone visiting a river or lake 😀

  15. Department of Homeland Security has implemented Biometric Scanning. It’s just a matter of time that nobody will be able to fly without accepting this. Sounds like Part 1 of the Beast System. Just a matter of time before nobody can buy/sell without this and I’m sure they will implement Part 2 soon — implantation of microchip telling all it will speed up transactions.

    1. Here’s his comments on the video for Biometric Scanning:

      Over the past couple of months I’ve been covering some disturbing developments at national airports that seem to show an acceleration of the plan to use biometric identification in a variety of ways.

      On May 19th I reported on a new program initiated by Delta Airlines at Minneapolis-St. Paul airport to have automated baggage kiosks for “priority customers” that will first scan a traveler’s passport, then their face in order to match identity to checked luggage. It was promoted as a “pilot program” that Delta launched to seek customer feedback in the hope that it could be rolled out more widely in the future.
      With that as the backdrop, if one weren’t already alarmed by this trend, DHS is now laying out a clear plan for mandatory face scans for all travelers to foreign destinations, stating that “the only way for an individual to ensure he or she is not subject to collection of biometric information when traveling internationally is to refrain from traveling.” That’s right, no opt-out, just stay home.

      1. Biometrics have been in use in Finland like close to 10 years soon. My old passport went out last year and if i want to renew it i have to give my fingerprints to the police.

        Since i have not committed any crime i dont see the need to do that. My wife was fingerprinted entering the country so she is there already. But we are seeing where this is going…..the Mark….THE MARK!!!!

    1. Stig, that was my first experience with that type of spying. Apparently when updates were auto-installed on my phone, they embedded that software in the Google Maps application that came with the phone.

    2. They have our fingerprints also…my husband served in the army (drafted). I worked in health care, it’s a requirements to be fingerprinted and have an FBI investigation. I’m rolling my eyes…all that to work at a hospital.

      So how does this phone thing work, how do they know where you are? I don’t understand.

      1. Firstly the antennas everywhere form areas where the cellphone users personal number to his internet is localised. Older cellphones can be localised also with less precision but only a question of meters.

        And nowadays its even easier because of all the personal info on people on the net.

        But the basic is the antenna grid Vicki. I read Australian military papers where they see a future of people with chips implanted and they send in mobile wlan robots who transmit a signal that pacify the inhabitants in advance.

  16. Sharing a quick testimony — late yesterday I started experience much pain around a dental implant that is failing. The Jaw Bone around this implant is disintegrating.

    I prayed over it and the pain is 100% gone! Praise The Lord 🙂 I know that I need to have this dental implant removed, but for now I will wait on the Lord. I had this implant surgically done around 10 years ago — it was to replace a pulled tooth; at that time they also did a bone graft on the jaw around this area.

      Your testimony encouraged me to just leave it to Him.

  17. Yes jc psalm 41. These words have been oftenly on my mind of late. Actually now reading i see that there is much more in this psalm also like familiar friend betraying oneself etc.

    This one and psalm 19 have oftenly popped into my mind as i read the bible before sleep.

  18. I don’t know this person or where he stands in faith. I find it interesting that he lives in New Mexico and has been prompted to build a place of refuge in Arkansas — he refers to as an “ARK” of safety.

    I know many of us have been prompted to move to various locations for the purpose of providing a place of refuge and to do the will of the Lord by helping others during upcoming times of unrest/war/chaos.
