“We can save America if we surrender and follow God. These U.S. vets did!”
Perfectly said brother in Christ Jesus! I couldn’t and won’t even try saying it any better! All that you said was perfectly genuine and crystalline from the heart! I truly appreciate this and I have to reblog it just as is!
This is amazing and a testament for those listening to God! Afghan allies and Americans were left for dead. Don’t get me wrong, every corrupt politician needs to pay for what they did. Allowing the Biden administration to cheat their way into office and those who are responsible for abandoning Afganistan also need to pay. But what is happening here is a work of God. These vets disobeyed orders from those corrupt politicians and is rescuing/protecting those who need U.S. protection.
Not only these vets are Patriots and heroes they are angels sent from heaven! The same thing is possible in ending the corruption in America once and for all! Americans just need to listen to what God is trying to tell them!
We no longer need to be in despair into thinking nothing can be done in saving America. That’s Satan talking, not God! We can save America…

These are not Christians abiding in the Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! They have turned away from God and accept Satan who is fully for Death, especially the most vulnerable and innocent life in the mother’s womb and the evil one desires that more human babies be murdered as a sacrifice to him and his evil hatred of God and all that is good! Abortion is an Abomination to God and the Massacre of the Innocent!
I don’t know where these so called Christians took a wrong turn or perhaps never really were followers of Jesus Christ; but I don’t want to know and shouldn’t care because it is now a foregone conclusion that they have delivered their souls into the clutches of Satan for eternity! These are the literal “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing” and are damned to hell.
Here in this scripture Jesus is speaking about all children but oh but need not ponder at all as to how much would these words apply to those that individuals that murder slumbering innocence; a child of God’s in the mother’s womb!
“5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me. 6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!”… Matthew 18:6
God bless all the Unborn and help your faithful Lord to continue fighting the good fight stopping the slaughter of innocent human life! I ask this in the name of you Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Presbyterian, Baptist Churches Join New Coalition of Churches to Promote Killing Babies in Abortions
State | Micaiah Bilger | Aug 26, 2021 | 10:10AM | Washington, DC
Pro-abortion groups in Texas are trying to raise up activists in an unlikely venue: churches.
Support for the killing of unborn babies in abortions never has been strong, and prominent pro-abortion groups have expressed concerns about apathy among their supporters. Meanwhile, the pro-life movement remains strong and active, with new pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes opening across the country and a record number of pro-life laws passing in the states, student pro-life groups in hundreds of high schools and colleges and sidewalk counselors offering prayers and support outside abortion facilities everywhere.
To thwart these life-saving efforts, the Texas Freedom Network is recruiting churches to join the pro-abortion movement, the Religion News Service reports.
And it is doing so by trying to drum up fears about the new Texas heartbeat law, which goes into effect Sept. 1. The law prohibits abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy, and has the potential to save tens of thousands of babies’ lives every year.
So far, the new Reproductive Freedom Congregations project has 25 churches signed up — mostly Unitarian along with a few Presbyterian churches and one Baptist congregation, the University Baptist Church in Austin, according to the report.
To participate, the churches must go through a training program that teaches pastors how to advocate for “reproductive health care,” including abortion on demand, and speak about it in their sermons, the report continued.
The churches also must promise to “trust and respect women” and agree that abortion (the intentionally, unnecessary killing of an unborn baby) is a “moral and social good,” the Rev. Erika Forbes, outreach and faith manager for the new project, told RNS.
Forbes said they have about 70 more churches going through the process of becoming Reproductive Freedom Congregations in Texas.
“We need, right now more than ever, churches to come out of the shadows,” Forbes said. “Even though we know that statistically speaking, church membership is down, data show that people go to their church or look to the church of their childhood upbringing to help them frame their moral decisions.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the churches helping to lead the project, First Unitarian Church of Dallas, is where former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards attended growing up.
The Rev. Daniel Kanter, the current pastor of the congregation, spoke with pride about his church’s long history of abortion advocacy as well as his hopes for the new project.
“My hope is that this designation is an invitation to a deeper conversation within the congregation whatever they decide,” Kanter told the news outlet. “… Part of being a person of faith is trusting that God made us in human form to procreate and to love in many different ways. That everything we have is holy.”
But Christianity teaches that the destruction of innocent human lives is the opposite of holy: It is evil. Christians believe that every human being is valuable, from the moment they come into existence at conception, because they are created in the image of God, and killing an innocent human being is a sin. Christians also are called to defend and care for the most vulnerable in society. The pro-life movement is diverse, but many pro-life advocates are Christians because of their faith.
Abortion kills more innocent human beings than any other cause. In the U.S., nearly 1 million unborn babies are aborted every year and about 63 million have been killed since Roe v. Wade in 1973. In Texas and all across the U.S., pro-lifers are working to end abortions by supporting families in need and restoring legal rights and protections to babies in the womb.

This is all hardcore reality and cuts to the chase as they say in Courts of Law that I had to fight in on my own Pro Se against formidable adversaries way better equipped at working in that venue that was their trade not mine! I say this because for the most part charity doesn’t really exist at least not the rock solid kind when you or I really needed it most of all; and besides that no one else wanted to get involved or lose any sleep over my own difficulties, even or especially if it was other people that caused them, not just some accident where I slipped and fell down some stairs!
But even then in that condition when nobody cared I found out something that I always had heard and wanted to believe was real, and in that tough time I did believe it. Jesus Christ was there in Spirit aware of every detail of my dilemma and I prayed asking for His divine providence to help me have the strength, courage and know-how to defend myself against these adversaries in a mostly uncaring world of materialistic selfishness and apathy.
I went through a lot of hardship but each day I fought I was given insight, knowledge and the determination to see that battle through to its complete fruition! I know how Job must have felt I tell you; and though I can’t compare to him I learned through a grueling punishing ordeal a lot more about Job and why he being just an upright righteous man trusted in the Lord, always respecting and loving Him with all of his heart and strength!
I tell you as a brother in Christ Jesus, that you must be determined to accept, respect, and love the Lord with deep humility in this same way that I did! Because my solemn belief is that if you do that you won’t fail, you will succeed in all earthly matters; as ultimately in this way you can do the will of our Father in heaven, and that is what we are here to do.
Meanwhile remember brothers and sisters what this following scripture spells out to us which is what I had to learn on my own doing battle and not just listening to a sermon or reading the word of God although all these are vital components that are part of our learning process! But, when I was in the battle and struggle as Job did, walking alone with only his faith; that is when Jesus Christ was helping him the most testing his faith. Job received God’s mercy and blessing through that time of hardship all of which was preparing his soul for heaven.
Ephesians 6:11-17 ERV
“Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing. So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living. On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the Evil One. Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God.”
God bless you. Brother in Christ Jesus, Lawrence Morra III
Many of us think Christians are supposed to always be happy, and if you’re not, something’s wrong with you or your faith. We even used to sing, “At the cross…it was there by faith I received my sight, andnow I am happy all the day.” No pressure at all for Christians and affliction. I remember the reading Job for the first time and thinking, “I don’t think Job went through life always happy, ‘like a room without a roof.’” He wasn’t alone, either. The Psalms aren’t all catchy, peppy, encouraging tunes. And, Jesus himself didn’t bounce through life in a don’t-worry-be-happy way. Scripture tells us he was a “man of sorrows” (Isaiah 53:3).
But Jesus was still someone who said, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” This is a joy that comes from knowing that what you have…
Absolutely my Patriotic God fearing and Loving American Citizen Brother! Evil has been allowed for too long in many areas of government be it Federal State or City/ County to fester into a network of criminals supporting criminals throughout and not serving and working for the People but instead ripping off and ruining everything in America they can! They care nothing about human life or God they are despot criminal DEVILS!
This portion of your narrative hit home for sure and I PRAY to Jesus Christ that the majority of our fellow Brothers and Sisters see it the same way and become activated by God’s Holy Spirit to stand up for our rights and our Nation under God voicing their opinions and then the responsible good authorities go after these criminals and lock them all away!
“The problem is that too many people are focused on hating Biden and not at the rest of the evil lurking in the White House.”
“Much of the comments I see on social media is asking Biden to resign or be impeached which won’t do any good when the main problem hasn’t been resolved which is all the corrupt politicians in office as well. They all need to be taken down in order to restore God in the country.”
Please let’s do this PEOPLE! All good Law Enforcement, Military, remaining Honest Political Officials and Bureaucrats let’s take back our Republic under God and people like me out here, the citizens you serve; are going to back you up 100%! God bless. Amen.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

9/11 was a terrible tragedy in this country and really should have been a wake up call for Americans that evil is running the show. Unfortunately those who were already aware of what was happening was seen as “conspiracy theories”
22 years later this is still happening
The corrupt politicians in office continue to do whatever they want and not care about the consequences. I bet this tragedy in Afghanistan was done on purpose to get rid of Biden hoping that people would stop complaining about him. The real truth is people will continue to complain so long as there is a corrupt politician in office. Among these evil, corrupt politician pet projects is to force electric vehicles on the American people. Americans are not buying electric vehicles so they gotta try and replace the president. The problem is that too many people are focused on hating Biden and not…

You probably won’t like what I have to say but I don’t sugar coat things if I can be so blunt like that in the right circumstance!
The whole social media concept is flawed and leaves way too much to the imagination or to the nefarious minds lurking everywhere in the world! So sorry to say that anyone on the medium is responsible for any problems or hassles that result; this is not knowing people like say in college or at work for years and actually being able to gauge what you are dealing with, with a great enough certainty, because even people we know in person or think we know can turn out to not be quite the person we thought they are!
Back in 1845 a writer I’ve enjoyed reading in my teens and watching some movies based on his fiction said something back then that spells out what I mean! Edgar Allen Poe said “Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” Now in the context of what was his own troubled mind and the character in his story trusting and knowing what is really so, and what isn’t, was a dilemma as he saw it! Now today I can honestly say that back then people could lie to one another face to face no doubt and that was the only venue, so how much more exponentially do you think the problem is today with these realms’ of wizardry and high technology that I’m sure if Poe could be here now would say we are all lost souls fooling with black magic and the devil.
My point is this is a very slippery slope if taken carelessly or to any significant level of importance in one’s real living day to day life! To me it’s a web of potential trouble and danger no matter who you are; so parents have a lot to worry about with their children being in this world no matter how safe they think they can make it! This can be a huge time waster for younger children too, and they can be absorbed with alternate artificial imagined realities that mess them up totally! I have to say it’s not good! Older adults can be taken advantage of in these places let alone children who have so much to learn. Besides that the Big Tech moguls and operators or governments that use them are not angels or great people that care about you or me, far from it; they are for the most part Greedy overly materialistic drunk with power and influence ruined people, who got so much so fast which is so unnatural and destructive for a human being!
Because I believe absolutely that its ill-gotten gain and gain should come from long hard work and dedication to proper principles in the Bible! But these so rich and powerful overnight individuals in this cyber Big Tech Business World makes no sense scenario; corrupts the soul it’s not natural or healthy for any soul, so they are corrupted to the core and prove it all the time with their nefarious undertakings of manipulation or exploitation! So you talk about exploiters dirty old men and such, but, that isn’t even scratching the surface of what problems are inherent in this modern running rampant open communication venues or platforms realm; the whole business is exploitative to the core! Do you think it was set up to help you and me to make the world a better place for all? Are there some angelic beings running this up above that only will allow it to be a wonderful thing; impossible. It’s not a good thing over all! I could go down a list of many things that make it not good, and just one example is that too many people are addicted! Like old timers sitting in front of a slot machine in a casino; do you see how much human capacity and time gets frivolously burned up with this technology? The old adage that comes to my mind is as in film acting, “less is more.”
Back when things were simple and straight forward the world was a better place for it, but, now it’s the opposite and way freakier and scarier than anything Poe imagined in his fiction! Like for example one of the pioneers of this digital world Gates a sociopathic lunatic would love us all to be chipped and tracked! This is not science fiction it’s on the planning agenda table with some very bad powerful influential people in this world pushing it. Say like China’s CCP and others that want totalitarian control over all human beings! Where does that kind of wicked thinking come from? We know as Christians only one place; Satan. This is not going in a good direction for sure, because for any of the good that some of us derive from it, this tool, there is an enormous underbelly and building corruption by nefarious evil men with power that are going to use this to the hilt; to control! Sorry if my view on what is ahead in this regard isn’t pretty; but it can’t be and will never be!
One big caveat to all my spiel is the only reason I’m on this platform basically and that is if I or you and anyone who is truly sincere, genuine and from the heart serving Jesus Christ here and helps to facilitate in this what I believe to be the End Time; the saving of souls, that is HUGE! Me as a Man following Jesus and knowing my own shortcomings as a man; basically a good one, but, still a darn sinner and not worthy enough; without Jesus Christ who can save my soul in order to make it to heaven. So as I see it right now, perhaps if I’m truly inspired by His Holy Spirit and do a bit of discipleship to “perhaps save one soul” from hell; my hope is God will smile upon me and judge me fairly; as I do believe it right to fear God, but nothing else!
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 25:41,46
God bless and thanks for getting me going on this! I hope you see clearly what’s going on. That is my only offering in speaking out!
Brother in Christ Jesus, Lawrence Morra III
Just a n essay I wrote last year that does pertain!
Just the day after posting this article I received notification of a new article from another follower that got into some of the specific points i had said here are reasons not to put much hope in Social Media as being anything but trouble moving forward! These ladies said it accurately and forthrightly so I commend them! here is an except and the link!
Hey everyone!! I’m so happy to finally write about the topic which I had always been wanted to talk. This is a collaboration post between me and Nivithasri from Fairy hacks. She is a lifestyle blogger who gives amazing beauty and health tips.
We are not going to give advice or explain the cons of social medias which everyone knows. Instead we will let you hear our stories, experiences and why we both are not that interested in social medias. We shared 5 questions to each other so don’t forget to visit her blog to read the other half of our collab.
Her questions:-
1) Which Social media platform do you dislike and what made you do that?
I don’t know why out of all platforms I hate Facebook the most. I still don’t have an account there. I think it’s because how insecure it is and how anyone can create fake profile and id’s to bully, blackmail and stalk others. The idea of chatting or getting to know my friend’s friend didn’t bother me. I just wanted a private platform to have one way conversation with my friends or relatives but facebook is like a open book for anyone to get to know even if you play safe. I know how it can be used as an powerful tool to teach, help, share knowledge or empower people but if I look back at my friends, they only use it for gossiping, stalking or flirting.
Social media has also given us so much freedom to ‘show and tell’ whatever the hell that we want but there is beauty in privacy. It’s okay to keep things private to yourself.
2) Have you ever come across someone whose real life is very different from their social media life?
Yes, totally!! It’s like they are a completely different person in social media compared to real life. I know a girl who continuously takes pic all the time so that she could post it for her followers. She also create many fake scenarios to get likes. It’s kinda toxic to see her posts because I know her true colors but her online friends don’t.
Hi again! It’s me the Christian Tech Nerd. I hope you are having an AMAZING day! I just read the below story and it made me so sad and I would like anyone’s feedback on it! I HATE websites and companies such as OnlyFans that exploit young women and cause them to sell their souls to sinful perverted men! I am a young 22 year old Christian woman that had to delete ALL of my social media accounts because too many men kept messaging me with rude and perverse comments…and I BLAME gross “porn” sites like OnlyFans for creating a culture that rewards perverts. I DO NOT blame the women who sell their bodies on OnlyFans because I believe they are lost souls that need guidance and are being taken advantage of without their knowing. I urge all women to believe in themselves to be more than just a naked…
“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding”
First this life and my thoughts now aren’t about believing in Santa Claus or not!
Let me ask you; do you really prefer to think that not being born would be better for you and your children? Because I can absolutely guarantee you that is exactly what the Devil wants you to believe, that master of all lies wants any of us to think we are defeated before we start. Start what you might say, how about the greatest and most magnificent journey that the brightest of minds couldn’t imagine in a million years! A way for everything to add up and come out perfect! Who else can sort all of this out, but the author of existence, certainly we mere inklings of a shadowy concoction of energy, matter and substance don’t have a fart in the winds chance of coming up with The Solution to all that has, is and will be happening on this planet our home we call earth.
You see I’ve learned that God absolutely exists and God’s purposes and Plans are all that matter not we free willed sometimes foolish, silly or arrogant creations of; His.“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding” that we are here for a God given reason not our imperfect sometimes self-righteous thinking or vision of what this has to be about living among the dead as we do; for I say to you this isn’t really living not with a price on all of our heads that says nobody gets out alive! We are looking with eyes half shut or in many cases wide shut in which case even though we think they are open they see nothing, not the Truth of God; never really seeing the length and depth of all that is really going on, and is always beyond our grasp; yet it’s as plain and simple as the morning turns to night and after the night a new dawn comes. No degree in rocket science required, only a genuine humble heart on bent knee which will open not only your heart to God but will open up the ultimate world of possibility and endless love! Something must bridge that enormous GAP for us and that can only be the One who set this all in motion to begin with! Being BORN into this at times so chaotic and even rotten world is I assure you a Blessing and no matter who it is or what they have or don’t have being able to exist is our one sure ticket to the Ultimate Destination which is to be with God the One who made this all possible and is always waiting first for our recognition of Him to acknowledge we know we are helpless babes in the woods and need Him above all there is in this existence! That He must be our primary focus and then to learn with His unrelenting undivided help and attention; to Trust in Him! If we are making this connection as individuals that I’m speaking about to you placing Him front and center in our lives, then that will ensure us of our lives being worth something and a whole lot more than we can ever come up with or concoct on our own for being here in the first place!
Life is the most beautiful incomparable gift and blessing of absolute LOVE! We are suffering here and some so much more than others;many through NO fault of their own but the world is riddled with sin and evils that effect even the most innocent among us! What’s fair and fun about that you might ask, and I say not much, that at times to me really sucks, that so much pain and suffering is going on and so many dreams and hopes getting dashed or crushed under the enormous weight and burden of sin, imperfection, stupidity, hate and the list goes on as you are well aware I’m sure! But for this to all get sorted out and for any of us to make heads or tails of it all to try is a fool’s errand, unless we have God on our side; you hear that; God on our side. He actually is, that is why this whole damned world didn’t get wiped away like so much chaff in the wind long ago to our concept of time but a flickering flame to God which He hasn’t extinguished yet! We are absolutely at His Mercy and He wants us with Him in His Glory! How do we get that you might wonder here, we start by wanting Him so badly that it becomes our life force and breath our very REASON for LIVING so we can be a part of His heavenly eternal Glorious and totally wonderful kingdom! I see it clear my friend, we are so lucky to be here and each of us will be nothing but dust these bodies in the end, with our souls damned to oblivion or complete separation from God’s glory, his eternal kingdom; not even being a memory without God setting the record straight and bringing absolute Justice to all things in His good time when it is appropriate for any of us!
Now that was coming from my own heart that God has opened and restored countless times because due to my own errors and shortcomings, He knows I belong to Him though I don’t deserve to in a sense, yet I do; because I decided with my Own Heart that I want to and must if I’m to be worth anything after it’s all said and done and this carcass I occupy is eventually in the dirt where it belongs, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;” but my soul belongs to Him my Maker, who Gives, who gives all things to those who love Him back! But how much grander is what comes for us if we stay strong in our faith no matter what, and keep Jesus Christ front and center in our hearts and minds!
The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.
1 Corinthians 2:9
9 But as Scripture says:
“No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
the things that God has prepared
for those who love him.”
Love must be a two way street and we can never give a fraction of what God is giving or ultimately offering!
Saint Dismas a scoundrel of a man and bad dude before he met Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross next to his, he Dismas to the right side of Jesus saw all that transpired that day his final day, when his heart opened up like never before watching this man who said He is the Son of the Father in the heavenly Kingdom saying things like, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!”Dismas was so rapt in awe he asked this dying man the Savior to just remember me when you join your Father in Your kingdom. He as then in that moment being honest and humble having admitted he deserved every bit of what he was getting being tied to a cross and crucified for all of his crimes against men as well, wasting his life being a scoundrel, but, then surely as Dismas correctly said to Jesus, in essence his meaning being; you deserve none of what they have done to you, you have to be who you say you are, just by how you are forgiving these same people doing this to you, you have shown not even one complaint or modicum of anger or hatred, you are praying for them instead!
“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
—Luke 23:39–43 (NIV)
And so Dismas then asking Jesus in all humility and heart felt compassion not thinking in the slightest that he deserved even this opportunity to ask, the Messiah; “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (verses 42-43).
“As Jesus was hanging on the cross, paying our penalty for sin, He made a promise to a dying, repentant thief. By the grace of God and the power of Christ, that promise was kept. The thief’s sins were washed away, and his death that day was his entrance to paradise.” gotquestions.org/today-paradise.html
What does “if God is for us, who can be against us” mean in Romans 8:31?
Romans 8:31 says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” The “things” are the dozens of amazing proofs of God’s unfailing love listed in the preceding verses. Romans 8 contains many of the cherished verses that comfort us, such as “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (verse 1). And the one that gets us through difficult times: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (verse 28). Verse 31 of Romans 8 is a culmination of all those wonderful promises. It reminds us who God is and how He helps us. When we grasp the truth that God is for us, we have nothing to fear.
God is “for” us in the sense that He is on our side; He is working on our behalf and for our good. He has proved His benevolence in that He has adopted us (Romans 8:15), He has given us His Spirit (verses 16–17, 26–27), and He has determined to save us (verses 29–30).
The follow-up question, “who can be against us?” is rhetorical. It’s another way of saying, “There is no one who could possibly be more powerful than God”or “No one can destroy us.” The idea is not that we will never face opposition; it’s simply that our opposition is doomed to failure. They may be against us, but not successfully against us. Since God is on our side, we have nothing to worry about.
Romans 8:31 is an echo of other passages that say the something similar:
• Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
• 2 Kings 6:16: “‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet [Elisha] answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”
• Psalm 56:9: “My enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.”
• Hebrews 13:6: “So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’”
• Psalm 27:1: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
Sometimes our hearts respond to verses like this with consternation: “I’ll tell you who can be against me! The IRS, my in-laws, terrorists, corrupt politicians—” and the list goes on. Our real-life enemies seem to overshadow the ideas conveyed in Romans 8. Despite spiritual promises, we still have to endure physical, mental, and emotional struggles—so much so that we may wonder if God is truly for us.
The man who penned Romans 8:31 (Paul) faced the same struggles we face and many more. He lists some of his sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11:22–28 as proof that he did not write from a plastic bubble of ethereal peace. However, his intimate relationship with the risen Christ had become his all-consuming passion. He said he considered everything else “garbage” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7–9). He had learned the secret of contentment, whether he was celebrated or imprisoned, and he stated that secret: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13, BSB).
So when Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us,” he is comparing earthly opposition to the eternal power and presence of Almighty God—and he declares the winner. No one can overcome God’s love for us.
Jesus taught the same thing. In Luke 12:4–5, Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” His point, as was Paul’s, is that, no matter what may happen to us here on earth, there is a higher reality. There is a bigger war than the one we think we face, and God is the ultimate winner (Ephesians 6:12). If we are on His side, then we will win, too. (Revelation 21:7–8, 27).” gotquestions.org/if-God-is-for-us-who-can-be-against-us
I Lawrence say with absolute confidence God is with us right now and never leaves our sides but we do have crosses to carry while here which is absolutely worth it! He Jesus Christ overcame all of this conflict and suffering and did it out of “Pure Absolute Love” and I tell you as I look around this world, me an imperfect nobody, I see so much I wouldn’t want to be any part of, yet I’m so happy to be dealing with the blood, sweat and tears of it all; because I have a shot through Jesus Christ of making sure that my life a gift from God was and is all worth it because He overcame all obstacles to Paradise; our path is to follow Him our Lord Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
I knowing through and by my own heart with Him Jesus Christ that we are going to make it there to the Promised Land, Hallelujah!
I’ve driven semis hundreds of thousands of miles at times making a living when other things weren’t happening; now this is how semis and the drivers can make sure something that is happening STOPS DEAD in it’s tracks!
God bless these people for having the finesse to join together and have some balls to fight the damned tyrants that have slowly but surely like a giant global python snake from hell been coiling around our lives and now minds to subdue us!
Time to fight back and use all appropriate available methods to shut them down! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with these lying evil despots!!!
This is what I was just saying in this other posting too, so let’s pray and keep doing what it takes people; we can change the world if we stop listening to the cursed politicians and ruling class globalists that hate us all!
Australia has gone off the deep end, but some of its citizens are starting to object and protest. In a land with tightly controlled firearms, truckers are bringing another weapon to the table—their trucks. From OpIndia at opindia.com:
Social media websites are awash with a video of a truck driver who said in his video that truck drivers are ‘planning to shut down the country’ to ‘remove the s*** government’.

Australia seems to be in the grips of COVID-induced insanity as people across the country are vigorously protesting against the lockdown measures imposed to curb the spread of the renewed bout of coronavirus outbreak.
After violent ruckus witnessed on the streets of major Australian cities, including Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and dogs shot dead by a rural council in New South Wales to prevent volunteers from travelling during Covid restrictions, Australian truck drivers…

All capable People MUST PROTEST EVERYWHERE ON EARTH! This is diabolical evil from hell attacking us. If you ever wanted to stand up for yourself and your loves ones along with all of humanity, NOW IS THE TIME! We must push back the Devil and all of his most evil cohorts on earth now!
There have been giant pro-choice protests and LGBTQ one’s among everything people can protest against under the sun! Most of them are not always good causes or not anywhere near as benevolent or righteous as this opportunity to stand up for what God intended you to be; A FREE SOUL ON EARTH; until He calls you home! Amen.
God bless you.

Frontline Health Care Workers Protest Mandatory Vaccination in California
Currently, there has been a spate of serious adverse events and deaths due to vaccination. The effectiveness of the vaccines has also been called into question. In July, a cluster of infections occurred in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, where 74 percent of the 469 cases had been vaccinated.
With California’s deadline of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for all health care workers approaching, boycotts are gaining momentum.
Article by Linda Jiang from our news partners at The Epoch Times.
On Aug. 21, California’s frontline health care workers held simultaneous protests in Riverside and Irvine against the government’s mandatory vaccination order at Kaiser Permanente-Riverside Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente Orange County-Irvine Medical Center.
Many protesters told The Epoch Times that their hospitals had given them an ultimatum: they had until Sept. 30 to choose between mandatory vaccination and getting fired.
The California Department of Public Health issued an announcement on Aug. 5 that workers in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care homes, and other health care-related fields must be vaccinated by Sept. 30.
Kristina, a registered nurse in California, said her hospital requires staff who are not vaccinated to be tested twice a week. “If we still…

This all quite beautiful and Divine Truth from God. I’m very certain as all of these Saints stand out to me but one in particular Saint Isaac Jogues who a blessed feast day commemorates when he was Martyred which was the same date a devious scheme was conspired against me in a situation whereby I would be so seriously injured I would either be killed or crippled and that day I was attacked by a very nefarious person who was possessed with evil from Satan which happened on North American Martyr day October 19 which is the memorial of Sts. Isaac Jogues and John de Brebeuf, priests and martyrs and companions, otherwise known as the “North American Martyrs.” On that day was so injured that it altered my life drastically and I had to fight for several years to survive. God made sure I did and by his grace I was able to serve His plan and not be destroyed as those dark forces wanted.
I want to share these words I wrote a while ago which were pertaining to all of this matter of saints and serving God’s will and purposes; which I see do connect to this beautiful article from CP&S.
“God comes to us often in obscurity, through unexpected events and persons.” God bless you and may He continue to bless you to do His will on earth as in heaven! I was just talking with a sister of mine early this morning about this very subject of how we are given many such opportunities and I indeed have had this happening in my personal life profusely and knew without a doubt that God was giving me actual messages and help to see my way on the very path which I walk here on earth. He doesn’t only beckon to us but guides us always if we will only take heed and watch as well as listen to all the opportunities He provides to us, so we not stumble but move forward in our life mission to serve Him and be ever so faithful to His will. Those monumental humblest human Icons like “Thomas Aquinas” or “Joan of Arc,” were chosen but they too paid close attention as Joan even when so young to God’s subtle messages being provided and we know what great good it did in her case!
Anyone that is interested please take a look and perhaps our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ is reaching out through your Blog and our shared words to others who just need that message or those tidbits of information to shed light upon their paths! I hope and pray this does some good for someone. Amen.
“We Never Walk Alone,” He our Creator through Jesus Christ told us He walks with us holding our right hand, and I know it for a fact from all that has happened to me over the last dozen years that I’m still here sharing my words and insights to others because He has given me all that I need and should be while on this earth to serve Him until such time that He God will take me away from this hard life to everlasting JOY and PEACE! For now I must hang in there and be in the ready to do whatever it is He asks of me one day at a time, like you even stated yourself my Friend; but never quitting and only doing what we are capable of however little or big a thing it is we can do it by having Faith in Him who gave us the greatest thing a LIFE, which is growing to be even much better than this, A Miraculous Eternity!
“Those who wage war against you will come to nothing. 13 For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you: “Do not fear, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
Footprints in the Sand, a beautiful poem!
“One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.”
He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings’.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”
A few readers wrote about this poem on a web site:
“This little poem, though I had seen it several times throughout my upbringing, really hit home one day about 30 years ago. It completely and utterly changed my life.”
“Greetings in Jesus name!
When first I saw this poster, some ten years ago, I thought “Wow!” How good and faithful is our Lord. What He promised He will do, He really fulfills His promises. He is not a man who should lie.
Even today I am still thinking about the single pair of footprints: Our father’s! When we are tired He picks us up and carries us. Who else can do this? Nobody, but God.”
“Shalom Aleichem (Shalom Aleichem is a spoken greeting in Hebrew, meaning “peace be upon you.”), my dear friends, this is my greatest comfort in time of my low moment. Shalom Aleichem.”
“Been divorced for 3 years been married for 33 years and all in a sudden divorce comes don’t see your kids no more don’t see the grand kids really thought it was the end for me until I read this poem mean so much to me it carries me on to the next day making me realize how good God is he will be by your side every minute of the day thank you Jesus.”
“I love this reading “Footprints in the Sand”. As a child dying of meningitis, He was carrying me. I was given last rites at the age of 18 months and here I sit today, because He loved and was carrying me. Even today, He continues to be with me daily.”
“Everyone on display is beautiful, I know my Lord walks with me every day to guide me, I just love the second one which is the pillow and would have that next to me on the bed every night to give me strength and comfort. Thank you Lord for everything and never leaving me, praise to Jesus, the only real love of my life always.”
Psalm 37:23-24 (NIV)
23 “The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

Interwoven into the fabric of the beautiful God given tapestry of my day came along at just the right moment another notification from a writing friend who apparently God wanted to make sure we both saw each other’s written words and do some connecting of DOTS!
Then during the unfolding of my words through Divine Providence a clear immediate purpose for them came into view and this following letter was directed to a friend in need; who like all of us can use any “inspiration that God will send.”
Dear friend and brother. This is a most beautiful masterpiece of precious love from the deepest heart expressed in a literary work of art. A gift from you to others here on earth and of course those who loved you the most who are where we can’t be until we should be with them; but they would ask us to stay on course and grow in faith that all will be made right. But, I also see that your words sound tired or weary and I feel that you are lacking the JOY of your being created in the first place my dear Friend. Seek and you will find and we are all lost in this world as we have no ultimate control over anything. We truly are in the hands of our Maker or Creator which is a truth that I know for sure and is always worth investigation by anyone who is unsure or even those that need no convincing, because we never know enough nor could we living in just a temporary imperfect state of being. I have learned through my life that even though I’ve been kicked to the curb and then beat upon by many situations, and the ones that hurt me the most were those inflicted upon me by other humans, my own race or species of beings! Yet, I still have joy in my heart because I know that the bigger picture is the key, putting things in perspective; and that there is God Almighty who will judge all things accordingly leading all of those that desire Him above all things; to an everlasting Salvation with Him and all that is good.
We must think about how grand this miraculous, mysterious so precious a gift, this life is, even with all of the pain and sorrow it is, the best thing that ever happened; an expression from a Divine Creator with “ABSOLUTE LOVE” that produced from that love a masterpiece of never-ending sharing love for intelligent gifted brothers and sisters who are and will be members of an eternal fulfilling kingdom! We must be hopeful and vigilant to get there, not giving in to sin or failure as best we can; because no matter what happens “we can make it to the promised land,” He has promised us that, and if we will seek Him out of Love for Him as well one another while asking for guidance, He will never let us down; we will be fulfilled beyond imagination!
I’m telling you after all I’ve had to deal with I would suffer it all again if I must, because I’m positive what awaits at the conclusion and after the final analysis of it all, I will be so happy and complete forever, living eternally in a glorified state of being! For now I must carry my cross.
The figure of Jesus Christ carrying the cross up Calvary on Good Friday. The sky is dark and the theives crosses are on Calvary.
God bless you.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

The pursuit of true happiness is always linked to the Cross, which the sublime last words of Saint Andrew the Apostle express so well.“I know the virtue of Thy Holy Cross.”
The Latin adage grasps reality so well, talis vita, finis ita. That means the way you live is the way you die. If one lives well, a good death is likely with the grace of God. Whereas those who live a sinful life are unlikely to make a last minute conversion and die well.
The saints stand apart. They embrace death with confidence, even joy. They know what awaits every faithful soul who heroically fights the good fight on earth: Heaven. The ten saints here featured display such a high degree of union with God and the Blessed Virgin Mary that they already seem to experience a foretaste of Heaven on their deathbed.

The FDA can spew anything they want even after overwhelming proof and top experts in the field of this science and medicine report the opposite and hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths due to the vaccines and improperly treating cases at the onset of illness! How did they achieve such results with this when the Flu vaccine is usually not better than 50% efficacy or less after many years of it being tried and tested vaccine for decades!
“Specifically, in the FDA’s review for approval, the agency analyzed effectiveness data from approximately 20,000 vaccine and 20,000 placebo recipients ages 16 and older who did not have evidence of the COVID-19 virus infection within a week of receiving the second dose. The safety of Comirnaty was evaluated in approximately 22,000 people who received the vaccine and 22,000 people who received a placebo 16 years of age and older.
Based on results from the clinical trial, the vaccine was 91% effective in preventing COVID-19 disease.
The most commonly reported side effects by those clinical trial participants who received Comirnaty were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, chills, and fever. The vaccine is effective in preventing COVID-19 and potentially serious outcomes including hospitalization and death.” fda.gov/news
Pure Insanity! The LIES are CONTINUOUS and a COVER-UP is more imperative to the perpetrators as they move forward with their Agenda!
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” (Sir Walter Scott, 1808).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration should have demanded adequate, controlled studies with long-term follow up, and made data publicly available, before granting full approval to COVID-19 vaccines, says British Medical Journal Associate Editor Peter Doshi.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This analysis was published Monday before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it had granted full approval to Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. The information in this piece provides insightful arguments for why the FDA should not have rushed to license Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.
