Update on Our Ministry and Reader Compilation & Appreciation Post
This post will touch on our growing ministry and work for Jesus Christ, as well as more on the growing persecution of Christians in Australia from ExcessDeathsAU, and a variety of writings from our greatly appreciated readers - dreams, wisdom, prayers, thoughts, and more!
Introduction
Besides spending a great deal of time running this website, working, and taking care of our family, Witness 1 and I have started a real life ministry where our goal is to simply help as many people as we can. Our motto is "No one goes hungry." We hope this real life ministry will someday cross with our online ministry if it is God's will.
In the both synchronistic and serendipitous way that God often operates, it is as though we are beginning the early church again, as if we are rebuilding the church for these end times, which I believe is the actual Church of Philadelphia of Revelation. In other words, the church, for all intents and purposes, is dead, and we are starting it over. While there may still be a few good churches out there, I believe they are few and far between, and that is why we gave up on the them - we couldn't distinguish them from the world. The Bible is clear about this cyclical nature of men in Ecclesiastes 1:9:
- What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
What we we are doing feels a lot like the early church in nearly every way. The church is being born again, but this time I believe we are preparing it for the New Heaven and New Earth, where Jesus Christ will reign!
Last night I had a dream. Before bed, I prayed and asked God to help me understand why people continued to follow the dead churches, and if our message was correct. I am always asking God for verification and validation, as I never want to write something that is not of Him. I asked God to please give me a dream of understanding.
In the dream, I was at a fair of sorts, and I was selling ice cream. Who doesn't like ice cream? Yet, no one came to purchase any, and I became discouraged. I decided to go to the loud speaker and announce to the entire fair that I was selling ice cream, and we were open all day, and yet, I don't think anybody came.
Witness 1 and I discussed the dream in a morning prayer session, and he said, though our words may be like ice cream for those who love the truth, there are very few who want this treat. Why? Well, the truth cuts like a sword - and unfortunately, though the truth is sweet to us like ice cream, it is bitter for most. It either saves souls, or it destroys them.
So, I told him, in reply, that I was happy this world was coming to an end.
Though most people seem sorrowful that this world is passing away, I feel a sense of joy in my heart. Please do not get me wrong - I understand the pain and suffering of many, and I know much more persecution and suffering is coming, and we will write about that in the next section of this post. This morning in prayer, Witness 1 kind of laughed, not in a critical way, when I told him I had joy for the world passing away. We both agreed we love our life together, and we wouldn't trade what we have, but I feel I have mourned this world long ago.
- I mourned it after many years of painful isolation and loneliness, where I felt there wasn't a soul alive who cared about me. I mourned it as I worked with people who mocked me, bullied me, and gossiped about me no matter how nice and kind I was. I mourned it when I overcame the many relationships where men abused me and mistreated me. I mourned it when my father disowned me and my sisters had little love for me. I mourned it as the "black sheep" of my family. I mourned it when I drank my nights away, and when I was raped. I mourned it when I was nearly beaten to death, and I mourned it when I was nearly killed multiple times. I mourned it in 6th grade when some students made fun of me during the spelling bee, and I mourned it when my dogs were murdered right before my eyes. I mourned it when my mom brutally passed away from cancer, and I mourned it when every single friend I have ever had betrayed me. I mourned it when my first boyfriend cheated on me, and I mourned it when I worked as a waitress and people wouldn't tip me. I mourned it when my friends and family mocked me when I lost my job and was suffering, and I mourned it when I lived in poverty with my ex, feeding starving animals and children. I mourned it when every man I ever dated cheated on me (except Witness 1), and I mourned when I lost all of my friends and family when we moved away. I mourned when everyone took the vaccination, and I mourned when I lost many friends and family following the Covid psyop. I mourned when I had miscarriages and lost my babies.
You see, I have mourned this world. I am not writing this to make anyone feel sorry for me, but I am telling you, I have mourned in my life, and I have mourned the world. I always wondered how this world could be so cruel, and though I wasn't perfect, I can sincerely say I never set out to intentionally harm anyone in my life. Still, I did harm people, and I know that. However, the point is, I have mourned. I have mourned a lot in my life, and I continue to mourn.
What is it about this world people love so much?
Yes, do NOT get me wrong. At this moment in my life, I have a joy and peace that surpasses understanding, but this is only through Jesus Christ and what He has brought me. I can never tell you how grateful I am for the things He has helped me escape, as without Him, I would be dead right now and not writing this. Please - I do not want any reader to think I am not immensely grateful for the life I live, and the things I have. I do not mourn those things in any way.
Still, I mourn the pure suffering of the world and the pure and disgusting injustice, as the wicked continue to be wicked.
This is not to depress anyone, but I am still mourning, I am, as most of my mourning is now for the people we are serving and helping. In Babylon, I am mourning for the tremendous amount of people who are caught up in the Great Delusion. For our real life ministry, I am mourning for the people who are suffering daily physically.
I know many who are reading this are suffering in a variety of ways, and I never want to undermine the pain of living in Babylon, especially Mystery Babylon (America). However, I wanted to remind you all about "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs."
Most reading this have their physiological and safety needs met. Most. However, I know some of you do not. For example, let us continue to pray for our brother in Christ, Jason, who is homeless. If you could stop reading this now and pray for Him, I am sure He would be so thankful.
Most reading are suffering with issues of love and belonging, esteem, or self-actualization. Through Jesus Christ, many of us are conquering these needs, but there are still struggles, and that is why we are always fasting and praying for all of our readers.
However, Witness 1 and I are working with people around the world in third world countries, who are mostly struggling with physiological and safety needs. Basically, our motto is that in our ministry, no one goes hungry.
We started our real life ministry through complete faith in God, and the cool part of it is that our ministry is not censored in any way. What we write about on our site, we bring to this real world ministry. God led us to start ministering to the third world, and to do our best to help take care of people there, especially Christians. I wanted to post some testimonies from our brothers in Christ from Africa. Please note English is their second language.
- It is true the love of our mighty Lord we live. I take the opportunity to thank you to this ministry for the good work of God you are doing for supporting and mentoring the orphans that I take care of. it hurts me when I see the orphans suffering because I based at that way I know the pain. Amen - Brother from Africa who is running an orphanage, who we support with donations.
- I can testify over the last couple of months since I joined this family, God has been good through me sister (Witness 2) and brother (Witness 1). I cannot tell you it has been an easy road, and I wish I could tell you my life has been full of peace and joy since God has saved me. Still, God has been faithful to me and not forsaken me and will never forsake me. - Brother from Africa who runs an orphanage and we support with donations.
- It is a colorful day. Since we met a faithful servant of Christ sister (Witness 2), who really knows how it's painful to live without what to feed the children, but sister (Witness 2) has surrendered to support these souls who were about to lose lives. We are always praising the Lord's name here, and we are thankful for her much concern about African brethen. Keep that faithful servant forever. Amen - Brother from Africa who has a large ministry of 80+ people who we support with donations.
There are more, and I am NOT sharing these testimonies to brag. I am sharing them for people who have donated or who plan to donate so that they know their money is going for the cause of pure religion.
I know that when we were tithing to the church we used to attend, they spent money on bigger and larger sound systems, their homes, and who knows what else! I really have no idea how they were taking care of the widows or the poor, and my guess is that they were not.
Witness 1 and I have never used any money donated for ourselves, and every cent that has been donated to us has gone back to the people - the poor, the widows, the orphans, and the destitute.
So, many of the ministries you see running online, well, they use the money for themselves - to pay their bills and such. While there may be nothing wrong with that, and I am not judging them, we are not paying our power bill or our car payment with what you send us. We are giving it to the poor.
I do want to note that I do imagine there could come a time where life will change, and due to persecution, we may have to operate differently. We can't predict the future. Still, for now, when you give to us, we give back to God. We consider it God's money, and we always will.
I know many reading are NOT wealthy, and we only expect for anyone to donate if it is truly in their heart. Like the poor widow, it does not matter how much you choose to give - God is looking at your heart.
So, if it is ever in your heart to support our ministry, we cannot thank you enough. For those who have donated, we pray God blesses you sevenfold in the name of Jesus Christ. For those considering, there is no amount to small for us, and it will all go back to someone truly in need. So, pray to God and ask Him what He desires of you! Remember, too, that God often blesses those who give generously. God sincerely did not start fully blessing me until I was giving money away freely to others. Please note I am not trying to brag in any way, but if you are wondering why God hasn't been blessing you, consider if your next step is to donate or give to others, as it is a huge part of how God judges us.
Also, please remember, that even the poor in America are nothing compared to what you may see in these third world countries. Even with our debt and suffering, we still have much more than most have, and I honestly challenge you to consider your perspective of American poverty with third world poverty. While I will never denigrate anyone's suffering, if you eat daily, sleep in a warm house each night, and have many convenient comforts, you are richer than most of the world - you are richer than you think.
Remember, also, when catastrophe strikes America, God will remember what you did with your time, money, and energy when you were comfortable. I truly mean this as a warning. God is watching us now - because when disaster strikes, He will know who was truly His. Think and pray about that carefully.
Now, to lead into my next section, the state of Australia is a great indicator for what's to come to America. While you may not here about this information in the news, the following testimony should give you eerie goosebumps, as it is real and coming.
ExcessDeathsAU Testimony and Commentary on Growing Persecution in Australia
We recently wrote an article for ExcessDeaths AU, and let's just say he has received some heavy backlash and persecution following posting it. Right now, he has been under severe spiritual attack since posting the article, so if you could pause and pray for him now, I am sure he would greatly appreciate it.
We have been back and forth in email, both of us mourning in many ways, especially regarding the inability for many to face the truth. Look, mark of the beast or not, Witness 1 and I presented fair arguments as to why we believe the vaccine in the mark of the beast. Not one person emailed us with a rebuttal, not one, yet, they had no problem attacking ExcessDeathsAU. I think the answer is simple. If we were so wrong, somebody, and I mean somebody out there, would have been able to debate us fully by now. We seriously have not had one person email us with a true debate regarding whether or not the vaccine is the mark of the beast. We are waiting. Sure, we get a small rebuttal here and there, but it is very rare, and it is never at the capacity of what we spend hours on posting here.
Why would we do this if it wasn't the truth? Nobody wants to hear what we write, and we don't have supporters like the worldly churches do - with constant tithes and encouragement. Don't get me wrong - we LOVE the people who truly support us, and you know who you are. Still, for the most part, very few want to hear what we have to say - they don't want that ice cream we're giving away for free, I guess.
Well, here was ExcessDeathAU's reaction email after posting the article:
Let me first say, I will never take down the article! I am even more convicted now that it is the mark! But what it does make me feel is very, very, very alone. On one hand I thought I had built a community after being thrown out of the wider community, but on the other hand now the 'new' community is rejecting me as well as in my close relationships.
I think a lot of that may be due to being extremely traumatised by what I went through here with the mandates. It is very difficult to describe to people who did not also go through it - it's like a war, and when it started my life essentially stopped. I have found your testimonies about your past very important - I have a similar background and I was just getting over my own past, feeling 'better' when the government torture started. I feel totally broken, but in some ways, that past may have really toughened me to survive this unvaccinated. I could see the gaslighting straight away.
Unvaccinated Australians experienced government brutality to the point where I and many others were scared for our lives. There are many stories of people I know who were disappeared into government facilities (prisons, etc.) and left there without papers for weeks and physically and psychologically tortured. I had police try to enter my house without a warrant. Unvaccinated could not serve on juries for years so the legal system was rigged against us. All of this was legal under the Covid state of emergency. People were beaten to the point of being paralysed. No one talks about this. Your Senator Rand Paul has brought it up and I was very grateful for that. But what was done to us was a crime against humanity, and they told us it was 'for our own good.' If the government had said it's 'go time' on the unvaccinated I have zero doubt that we would have had a Rwanda-type situation here - there are so few of us that we do not matter. The media made us out to be monsters, disease carriers, 'holding back the state.'
If you browse my stack, you can see that they have built large holding facilities (camps) all over the country. They are still empty and fully staffed and not telling us why. Before the mandates, they conducted firearms raids to try and disarm us (contrary to popular belief we are not disarmed) and people are still tied up in the courts on spurious charges. For me, 'Covid' is not over. I relive the trauma constantly, and I cannot get help because there is nowhere to turn - all the places where one usually gets help (doctors, hospitals) are the places killing and torturing us and still believe us to be disease carriers unfit for society, still denying us medical care. I feel like I am in a nightmare, and I have my health, but I am watching everyone else die. This is how they are terrorising the survivors. So I pray.
As our conversation continued, he revealed more of his testimony:
As a child I was abused by my family and I lived my entire childhood in a state of flight-or-flight. I do not know if they are dead or alive and I am estranged from all of them. I have forgiven my family in my heart, but I do not see the point in 'reuniting' with people who tried to kill me, all the while playing happy families to cover it up. When I was older I gave them the chance to tell the truth and they did not want to so I left them behind. That was my first experience of gaslighting.
I grew up in the Catholic Church and I am also estranged from the Church despite having a prominent Catholic scholar in my family. It was gruesome for an abused child to have to go to confession to confess sins while being abused. So I left the Church, and God behind, for what I thought was forever.
Yet, there was always a 'little voice.' I could have easily fallen into suicide and drug abuse and prostitution but for some reason never did. I always made good choices. However, I rejected God. I was not just an atheist but an anti-theist. I HATED God.
Until the first week of January 2021.
After a year of the Covid gaslighting (which, of course, I found familiar) and watching the creeping unified evil, watching people lose their minds and literally operate in lockstep as if posessed, not even needing direction, my usual cerebral ideas for making sense of the world failed me. What I was witnessing WAS evil in a Biblical sense. One night I was hit with a Presence that can only be described as lightning. I was standing in my bedroom and it was like a lightning bolt cracked through my skull and left through my hands and feet. I also heard a Voice. It said:
"Prepare for war."
I had an immediate conversion. I knew what was happening, why it was happening, and I was with God. Since then I have heard the Voice a few more times but never with the Bolt. Now, the most terrifying thing for me is not death, but separation from The Presence. Every day, everything I do, I pray to have courage in line with Revelation 21:8. I pray for courage.
I have lost a lot following God. I do not recognise my life anymore. I do not recognise the world. People no longer 'understand' me and life in the world has simply become more and more difficult, but I think am becoming who I was meant to be. I do not know why God chose someone like me, so broken, damaged, and let's face it: often unhinged. Someone who does not 'fit in' anywhere. But He always seems to do that, doesn't He?
I do not attend any churches because they are worldly, lukewarm and political. They do not adhere to Scripture. They 'do what feels good.' I do not think they even read the Bible at all. They are more concerned with...well I have no idea, really. All I know is that the closer I get to the Word, the more society hates me. That's in the Bible, too. The Bible they do not seem to want to read. Yet, I am human and I want to belong. To connect. But people find my ideas, which are directly from the Bible, abhorrent. So this is a very difficult situation and I am often completely miserable.
Sackcloth and ashes for sure.
Surely. He is right. We must prepare for war. Are you preparing, or are you wasting your time?
I just wanted to note I feel like I could have been writing his testimony - I know many of you feel the same.
I do not mean to sound harsh to readers, but this is serious, and this is real. Persecution will increase, and this is the time to take refuge in God.
However, I never want anyone to lose hope. That is NOT the purpose of this blog. The purpose is to give readers the reality so that we know how to navigate this reality with the help of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Dreams from Another Australian Anon
I, too, had a dream about alien spaceships, maybe ten years before Coronavirus: There was a giant spaceship above the city. They beamed down kool-aid for everyone to take, it was in a little packet like fruit juice. My parents were happily taking the kool-aid, but I was reading the disclaimers on the package, and I decided not to take it. They took the vax and I didn't.
The alien spaceship in the dream by the way was definitely satanic - it reminded me of a book I once read where a spaceship arrives and it turns out to be satanic and the end of the world.
I had another dream before the Coronavirus lockdowns: you can share this one too.
I was on a set of stairs - one set led upwards - to a church that was like a games room or sparse lounge room with only one person in it and a large screen tv. His name was ‘Guy’ and I had supernatural knowledge that he was being abused by someone. I knew there was something wrong with this church. It was trivialising God and ‘Guy’ was being abused. So I went downstairs instead where there was a catacomb and twelve Christians like the apostles were worshipping together, and I was with them: This was the real church. We were praying together.
Afterwards I realised the meaning: the ‘guy’ on his own in a games room was in the lockdowns doing ‘play’ church
———
Oh and another dreadful dream. I was in a church with a simplified Bible on the altar, sort of minimalist looking. There was a picture of churning seas on the wall. I was weeping and praying to God for two children in my church who had taken the jab, “Lord, why are you allowing this to happen to your children? Why are you allowing their reproductive systems to be harmed?” This was before it was known that this was a side effect. God showed me the picture on the wall and the answer came to me “because a terrible time is coming when it will be worse for those who are with child”
I told this to an early morning prayer group of mostly pastors and they ignored the prophetic meaning completely and got stuck on why the Bible was simplified - now I think it means all the churches going along with the lockdowns (their churches) had all simplified the Bible down to “obey the government” ie the government that has a simplified minimalist postmodernist philosophy.
———
And something that happened in real life in the same small early morning prayer group:
I told the pastor who was encouraging everyone to have the jab that I was thinking God wanted me to tell the churches and Christian organisations not to coerce the jab, thinking naively he could help me because he had credibility in Christian circles and knew most of the leaders in my city. He scoffed and said, "Well if you were supposed to do this there would be someone in this church who is doing this." I had a word of knowledge from the Lord and turned to the guy sitting next to me, who ran a building company. I looked at him directly and said to him, “Are you doing this?” and he told “Yes”. He had told a contractor not to come in to do the job on the building site until he’d had the jab - he had told him he would save the job for him until he could come and do it when the coercion was ended or he’d taken the jab (I myself think this is worse than saying ‘you’re fired’) After months of waiting the contractor had finally moved to a small town and found other work. I told the builder he needs to contact this guy and sensitively find out how he really felt about it (he’d said it was fine but it probably wasn’t) and reconcile with him properly. He said he would. Two weeks later I saw him again and I asked him if he’d contacted the contractor. He said “Oh, no, it’s not like that” - he hadn’t contacted him. In other words, he had rationalised things to himself in the interim.
I live in Australia where lockdowns were very coercive. Some churches banned unjabbed people from coming. Mine did not thankfully but I was definitely put under pressure to have it.
I myself am a (removed to protect identity) - I refused the jab thank God and had to take long service leave for three months in 2021 then unpaid leave for another three months, and supported myself and paid my mortgage cleaning windows with a good Christian friend who cleans windows. One lady at church said to me, “You're so good at what you do - I’m worried that you will lose your livelihood if you don’t take the vaccine” - but since then God has blessed my life and work and expanded it greatly so I’m using many more of my talents. Praise God! I made it through chapter one….
Wow, I love the hopeful ending to his writing. Let us remember that when we choose God over the world, He will not forget us. Let us pray for our Australian brothers and sisters in Christ, and let us pray for Australia itself.
I pray for sores upon all who have seen twowitnessesofrevelation.com but deny us as The Two Witnesses of Revelation in Jesus's name. 9/14/24.
Update Testimony from Vince
Vince has been struggling but wrote me an overall positive update recently. Please, give Vince a prayer a day, so that he can conquer everything he is going through Jesus Christ. Though he is struggling at the moment, I still feel it is okay to post his testimony to remind him of where he can be. It is a reminder to us all that the process of sanctification can be "back and forth" and to never stop praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ!
Mentally I feel completely different and everything seems different. Physically I feel weak, I was walked several miles at the park trail during my fast and by the third day I barely made it home and felt I was going to pass out when I stood up several times. I have become quite skinny in 2 months, I was 190lbs and now I think around 160ish, I pray it stabilizes. I know Jesus and his followers would fast and walk everywhere. For the writing I will just edit this a bit. I don't mind if you want to add the picture or not.
I did end 72 hour fast of just water last night. I went into the fast really bitter and feeling so hopeless from everything and I felt kind of forced to fast since I was out of money and barely had food. Something happened the second day as I did multiple deliverance prayers, maybe from you praying for me and others praying, I am grateful. I was doing the ones I've not seen before that would just pop up in my recommended feed on Youtube - vagabond, python, sabotage, arrested development. I usually don't experience anything significant from them and I've done so many of them. When I got to vagabond I had a really different experience. I always say them out loud with Robert Clancy and near the end of the video I couldn't say anything I was weeping so much. I felt so many different sensations/tingling in my body and there was a weight lifted and he always says for the Holy Spirit to touch us from the top of the head to the soles of our feet and I felt that actually for once. After that I couldn't stop thanking God for whatever I was delivered from and everything looked different and my perception of reality has changed. I believe I saw a cross in the sky on my way home from the park this morning, I know God gives me many signs in nature and elsewhere that I either ignore or don't care and I repent for anything I miss or take for granted. I know there are dreams that are important that are stolen from me. I am just so skeptical about everything and don't trust myself as the enemy has attacked me so much.
Sermon from Witness 1 -
Note: This is a real life sermon, so it is written how Witness 1 spoke it for his audience:
The conclusion to the question of how to act as a Christian always boils down to literal servitude, but Jesus’s words tell us that even more important than bread for Earthly hunger is to provide them with spiritual food that lasts forever. That is, after all, the Great Commission – to make disciples of all nations. So, when I teach you about apologetics, especially when many here are pastors, it’s not just for show, it’s to provide you with the tools you need to convert people and carry out the Great Commission.
Of course, this knowledge is only one part of the equation - along with the Holy Spirit. It’s not something that can be quantified in facts or arguments, but a supernatural anointing that some in the world will simply never understand. Another prerequisite for being able to present a true doctrine to people is to understand the events of the past accurately, and in a Biblical sense.
Jesus proclaimed to be the truth, and the truth is extremely important to God. Therefore, we must remember the definition of “wisdom”, or “Sophia” in the Bible – a well-rounded understanding of all things, encompassing a broad degree of education in history, world affairs, and the reality of extraordinary political lies.
However, there’s a fourth topic I will cover today, as the cumulative story I am trying to lay out here will hopefully build up over time for those who regularly attend, and you can contact Witness 2 or myself for copies of written work we have done about these topics if you feel the need to investigate further.
Today, I want to talk about the question of how do we live as a Christian? How should our beliefs impact our actions as believers, and how can we align our thoughts, intentions, and actions to the Bible and the Word of God?
Well, in the Beatitudes, given in Matthew 5, Jesus paints a clear picture of how his followers should act:
Poor in spirit, mourning, meek, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and persecuted for righteousness’ sake.
Now if you take a step back, these are quite a change from how other theologies worldwide built their moral value systems, which almost always looked something like –
Rich in spirit, alive not mourning, brash but not meek, makers of war and not peace, and those who overcome, not those who are persecuted. Only Jesus gave these kinds of paradoxical and unnatural instructions to his followers, and it’s part of the reason most people at the time couldn’t understand what he was saying.
So, what is he saying?
E. Stanley Jones, author of Christ on the Mount, wrote:
“The Sermon on the Mount seems dangerous. It challenges the whole underlying conception on which modern society is built. It would replace it by a new conception, animate it with a new motive, and turn it toward a new goal.”
I will provide some quotes from a mainstream commentary on each of the prerequisites Jesus laid out for an ideal moral character:
Poor in Spirit
A man who is truly poor in spirit will not be admired by the world (Luke 16:15). "Poor in spirit" indicates a willingness to surrender to the authority and control of God, so that He might govern our lives. We will not be making demands, because we're unworthy and undeserving (Genesis 32:10). Poverty of spirit is a consciousness of our own sinfulness and spiritual poverty (Isaiah 6:5; Daniel 10:8; Luke 5:8; Jeremiah 17:9-10; Psalms 8:3-4). The way to happiness is poverty of spirit (Luke 18:10-14; Matthew 7:13).
Those who mourn
(2) Mourning over the conditions of the world and having a feeling of helplessness to do anything about it When Jesus mourned over Jerusalem, He was grieving over the sin of the world (Matthew 23:37-39)
(3) Mourning over our own sinful state. Being poor in spirit creates a mourning over our own shortcomings and sins.
Meek
In the Greek the word for "meek" means "a happy medium between two extremes." Meekness is moderation. A meek person can have anger when others are treated unjustly, but not be angry when he is unjustly treated (Mark 3:1-5; John 2:13-16). Another meaning for "meek" is "to domesticate a wild animal." A God controlled life is meekness. The Jews didn't expect their Messiah to be meek. They were anticipating Him to overthrow the Roman government by force. Meekness is having others see the truth about ourselves and giving honor to others (Philippians 2:3).
Merciful
The Greek word for "mercy" has its root in the Hebrew word meaning "to get inside someone else's skin." This means that you can totally identify with what he's seeing, thinking, and feeling (Ezekiel 3:15). God came into the skin of man through Christ to be able to identify with us.
Pure at Heart
The word "pure" here refers to a purity that is the result of a washing. The heart is the center of one's being, the throne of the spirit. The Pharisees were concerned with the outward observances of righteousness (Matthew 15:2). God is concerned with the inner heart (Proverbs 4:23; Jeremiah 17:9). The heart needs to be cleansed (Psalms 51:10). Being "pure in heart" is a work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Christian has a renewed heart in an unrenewed body (Mark 14:38; Romans 7:15-25; Galatians 5:17; Psalms 103:14).
Peacemakers
A peacemaker is more than one who stops quarrels; he brings good into other people's lives. A peacemaker might become involved in great conflicts As long as the forces of evil prevail, there is no way to have peace except by destroying them. Peacemakers deal with the corrupted issues so that there can be a true state of peace. Jesus was fighting against the corrupted religious system and for peace between man and God (John 2:14-16; Matthew 23:27). Real peace can never be found in a compromise with evil. There can never be a peaceful coexistence with sin (1 Corinthians 5:7; Isaiah 57:20, 48:22). Peacemakers bring others to God. Man's basic problem is that he has to be reconciled unto God.
Persecuted for Righteousness’ Sake
The Lord is upfront in telling us that we will suffer and that the world will not react in love and kindness towards us (Matthew 10:16-25; Acts 9:1-16).
v. 12 As Christians we should face persecution:
(1) by not retaliating against our persecutors (Matthew 5:44; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60);
(2) by not holding resentment against them;
(3) by rejoicing in the fact that this proves that we are God's children and have a great reward in heaven (Romans 8:7; Acts 5:40,41).
Because we're His children, our position in His kingdom is secure. We need to remember that we're His ambassadors on earth, and we represent Christ. We need to remember where we're going (2 Timothy 4:8). The prophets were persecuted (Acts 7:52). All of the apostles were persecuted for Jesus' sake. They persecuted Jesus Christ. Persecution has strengthened the Church (Romans 5:3-5).
This commentary concludes by saying:
The primary purpose of the Church isn't to take care of symptoms such as starvation and crime, but to bring the Gospel to men so that they will be brought into a position of hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Righteousness cannot be achieved in our own strength; it is a standing before God. God has imputed to us righteousness because we believe in Jesus Christ
So, to wrap all of this up, we now have a pretty clear picture here of how our lives should look as Christians – humble or poor in spirit, mourning for the unspeakable evil around us, meek, merciful, pure at heart, helpful, and persecuted.
Most Christians in this country aren’t persecuted yet, but there are many other countries around the world where Christians face death just for their beliefs. Even here, there is strong government oversight and a seemingly endless assault on free speech.
So, we know what God likes. What does God not want us to do?
Proverbs 6:16–19
16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
To summarize how to please God, avoid all of these things and remember that God loves the following people:
· Everyone
o Sinners
o Christians
· Those who do right actions biblically, usually understood as dealing generously, kindly, or fairly with those at a disadvantage.
· Those who keep his commands and obey his word
· Those who guard against injustice
· A cheerful giver
· Those who let go of control of their life and hand over the reins to Jesus Christ after being born again.
So, it’s really quite simple.
Each one of us is a little piece of God. That’s really what it says in the Bible, and there’s a lot of good reasons to believe it. Honestly, I think deep down inside themselves, everyone knows that this is true, even if they wouldn’t admit it.
All of these thousands and thousands of years of literally billions of people, all interacting in different ways, were to test the nature of God himself, and slowly… slowly… slowly… coagulate one side from another. A sort of divine mitosis, if you will.
These are difficult times, but if anyone believes these words, and believes in the Bible, they likely have great things in their future. Just not in this physical universe. That’s the whole point – those who can let go of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, described as “pleasurable” to the eye, will gain more than they can imagine. Conversely, those who think this is all that matters, spend their lives chasing sin and pleasure, hurting others, making desperate moves because they think one life is all that they have, those that hold on to the physical world until their knuckles are white – they will lose their lives.
The key is to let go.
The Bible defines the word Love as filtered through these four lenses: the love between friends, lovers, and family respectively, for the first three, and the famous Agape love as the most unique and compelling.
Agape has been defined as, “pure, willful, sacrificial love that intentionally desires another’s highest good.” Now, this is the Holy of Holies, the real Holy Grail. Love – the source of Life itself. God’s very own nature, revealed to us, mere humanity.
And honestly, it’s not even that complicated. “Do good things to one another.” Simple, right? Logical, even. It’s the kind of thing a monkey could come up with while sitting under a banana tree.
So, it was laid out for humanity quite simply. We need to love God first and foremost, and then, we need to treat others the way we want to be treated. Jesus’s teaching is not complex, and yet, somehow humanity has still completely failed.
Worldwide, there’s about 1000 reported murders per day on average, and in the United States alone there’s approximately 1000 rapes of people above 12 per day, with another 200 or so child rapes thrown in there. Every day. This isn’t even counting state-sponsored killing, wars, deaths that were covered up, or information from countries like North Korea, China, or Iran that don’t report statistics like these accurately.
The amount of suffering created by human hands through a lack of knowledge, greed, lust, covetousness, anger, and all the other things warned about in the Bible is unimaginable. This boggles the mind – all we had to do was follow the Ten Commandments, and Earth would be close to a paradise already. Instead, there seems to be a deep, fundamental, problem or issue with mankind at his very core.
People love to blame the devil, or even God for these evil actions, but as far as we know, all of these acts of rape, torture, and murder have been committed by human hands alone. Without God, any random animal alive has more dignity, honor, and purpose than mankind - the psychopathic primate who tortures, kidnaps, rapes, and murders his fellow humans simply as a hobby.
The U.S. government, in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, spent an enormous amount of black money on MK Ultra mind control experiments. What they learned is that the only way to control someone’s mind is through fear. If you traumatize them enough, you can create a new personality. Of course, those running these experiments already knew that, as occultic secret societies have been doing this for thousands of years. They were just refining their techniques.
Through events like planned wars, state-sponsored terror, false flags, deliberate poverty and starvation, political control, and a media that sticks to the script no matter what, the Synagogue of Satan has been playing humanity for over a century, using fear as both the carrot and the stick.
At the end of the day, I think humanity lost sight of the fact that not being right with God can have serious consequences. He is too content, too happy in his little snowglobe, unaware that he is only a small, relatively meaningless player in an inconceivably vast game where the stakes are literally life and death. “The universe has always been here”, he says, laughing. “Where would it ever go?”
Our ancestors were lucky, in that their world was a lot easier to remain right with God in. Humanity today has become perverse and wrong, like an appliance designed with planned obsolescence in mind. Indeed, mankind has always had an expiration date – 6,000 years. Why do you think the Sabbath is so important to God, anyways? An obsession with “rest” - not exactly what you’d expect from an omnipotent deity.
The clue can be found in the “one day to God is like a thousand years” verses. God gave us a prophetic foreshadowing of the amount of time we have here, built into our very week, our very being. 6 days of work, and 1 day of rest. The Earth: 6,000 years of mankind’s turmoil and war, then 1,000 years of peace during Jesus’ millennial reign. That’s why the seven-day week is so important to God, it’s a way to instinctually tell everyone that there’s an end date. – an end date that we are coming up on within our very lifetimes – and there’s no doubt that the herd senses this coming. Like animals sensing the onset of an earthquake or volcanic eruption, mankind is sensing the tremors of the world soon coming to a violent and supernatural ending.
When the Biblical year is calculated accurately, as I’ve shown, it comes out to somewhere around 5,997. So, make of this information what you will
God bless you all.
Prayers to End Submitted by Anonymous
I am working on putting together a prayers section on our website, so if you'd like to submit any, please contact us. I am a very busy lady, so I haven't finished yet, but pray God always renews my strength and energy.
I believe these prayers end this post on a positive note, and remember, prayer is an actual weapon. Prayer has changed me in every single way, and honestly, in these end times, we should all just be living a life of prayer until Jesus Christ returns!
To end with a quote sent from a reader:
“I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened.”- Fyodoro Dostoevsky

ALWAYS REMEMBER, God hears ALL our cries and prayers (Ps. 34:4,6,15,17.

We know that satan’s a liar but God has never lied nor broken a promise or covenant (Heb. 6:18, Num. 23:19, Titus 1:2). He is the God of the second chance to infinity. Nothing is too hard (Jer. 32:17, Gen. 18:14), nor impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). With man it is impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible (Matt. 19:26, Mark 10:27). He is faithful (Ps. 89, Heb. 10:23), His Word does not return void (Is. 55:11,12), He magnifies His Word above His name (Ps. 138:2) & His Word is settled in Heaven forever (Ps. 119:89).

Gods’ forgiveness is bigger than my sin. If I confess my sins, God is faithful & just to forgive me of my sins & cleanse me of ALL unrighteousness (I John 1:9). Once I confess & repent, God remembers them no more (Ps. 103:12). They are put in the sea of forgetfulness (Micah 7:19). They are under the BLOOD of JESUS, and we are set FREE, with no condemnation (Rom. 8:1), especially from ourselves. We must learn to forgive ourselves. Praise and Worship must be included in our prayers. We have the VICTORY!

PRAYER OF REPENTANCE
Lord Jesus Christ, Yahushua, Son of the Father,
In all humility and with our love and holy fear, we bow down before You, our Savior. May our guardian angels bow before You and bring You the prayers of our heart day and night and may they protect us from all evils when we sleep and rest. Hear the prayers from our lips whether alone in our quiet places or among our Brethren; through tears of sorrow or songs of praise and joy.
Lord, may we never ask for more than what is good for our souls and for our salvation. You showed us the Father and taught us how to pray and live as children of God. You said we should seek, ask and knock when we're in need. You said you would never leave us nor forsake us. Jesus, You alone made us worthy to enter into Heaven when our lives come to an end. We thank You and praise You for Your love, Your life, and the promises You made and kept.
You said You would go and prepare a place for us in Your kingdom.
In Your kingdom Lord, hear our prayers now. You see and hear Your poor banished children of Eve. Before You, our world is so dark.
We Your children, Your people, see and hear the evils of our modern world. Families and children faithful to You tremble in fear of Your coming justice. Lord, we know Your Holy Words and love them. We repent of all our sins and call out to You our God. As You took pity on Abraham, Moses, Noah, Ruth and Naomi, the children of Israel, and all Your beloved disciples, so too take pity on us in our trials and tribulations in our lives of this modern and depraved world we live in. You said You'd never leave us nor forsake us. But Your Holy Words warned us of sorrows, persecutions, and even wars.
Lord, we are weeping for ourselves, our families, and our children. We weep and repent of our own sins that wound You once more. Send Your Holy Spirit upon us, so that we may live more simple lives and be ever faithful, brave, forgiving, and charitable children of God the Father. Help us to shake off the ways of the world and be only faithful to You.
When the world sees us, may they give all honor and praise to You. We are Your bride who await Your coming. May you find us worthy.
In Your holy name we pray.
Amen.
