What you stated here is so true Brother Joseph; I have learned this over time in my trials and tribulations along with carefully observing the lives of many, and God’s word has always pointed out this truth clearly! Yet we know that there are even denominations of the Christian faith that teach and promote the opposite and that the followers should pray for and seek wealth in material form; that is a falsehood! That will surely not humble anyone and will only distance such a person from God!
Here are some Scriptural verses that are perfect for this insight.
1 Timothy 6:9-10 “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”
Luke 12:15 “And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Proverbs 23:4 “Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.”
Proverbs 11:28 “Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.”
Ecclesiastes 5:10 “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.”
Psalm 144:4 “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.”
Philippians 3:8 “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”
Philippians 3:18-19 “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.”
Proverbs 28:20 “A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.”
Job 1:21 “And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Matthew 13:22 “As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.”
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
God bless. Brother in Christ Jesus, Lawrence Morra III

Update: Since January the beat goes on just like the crime!
“Governor Kathy Hochul is Destroying New York State”
That is the current headline in The Record Daily that now confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt that this appointed not elected current New York State Governor is exactly the dark apocalyptic horsethat I indicated in this article!
“She, like Biden, is a Trojan horsebeing controlled by the worst aspects of the modern American left.”
And in a completely unsurprising result, idiot New Yorkers will re-elect evil witch Kathy Hochul to destroy NY.
“Though the problem is not that Hochul had challenges: every governor does. The problem is she’s taken every challenge she’s been given and made it twice as bad for New Yorkers.”
The following is the article published January 11th that explains my viewpoint.
I’ve been writing according to what I genuinely felt the Holy Spirit has been saying to the world since early 2020 and I knew we as a species that were created for God’s plan and purposes have strayed much too far and too many people have been worshiping self or one thing or another, excusing themselves from this transgression by calling it entertainment or just doing their own thing, which even includes now full term day of deliver abortion with a monster in the White House “America’s Own Man of Perdition” truly a Satanic possessed individual who appropriated 468 $Billion exclusively for abortion in his first 100 days in office and if that isn’t “writing on the proverbial wall” as to where this is all going and you can’t see that, then I’m right, far too many people are blind to the Truth and have become evil! I just wrote the other day how this is all being allowed to go so wrong, because it’s being a darkest of clouds to ever come over the earth, actually does have a silver lining as in being a final warning for more humans to wake up fast before the judgment comes; and it is on the fast track!
Some people have the audacity these days when asked if they are religious or believe in God to say, I’m spiritual, which means they are faithless toward Jesus Christ and on a trip down the wrong road; that infamous “road to perdition!” I’ve known for some time that this whole thing about the “new normal” or when are we going to get back to the status-quo and just settle back into the old routines or habits that most people were so accustomed to, like even just living like a heathen basically, while turning to the nightly news to catch up with what’s important, was all a huge lie and pure bull shit! Most people have been living in a delusion of either grandeur or just letting their minds vegetate to the mainstay of going along to get along and in that process they have submitted to the Beast System that has its deadly evil tentacles wrapped around the world NOW, and isn’t going to let go until God Almighty stops it, by the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I’ve had some dark feelings and extremely sad things crop up in my heart and mind lately even waking up from a sound sleep with a dream going on in my head that point to all of these things I see when conscious. And some I wanted to release in my writing, about them here, much of it based on actual happenings and changes that are ongoing, with very diabolical roots, actually “pure evil!” Look at New York State now with an appointed not truly elected evil woman Hochul who straight out said God told her to motivate the vaccinated to go after the unvaccinated and she needs apostles to follow her for God!
Like Biden she claims she speaks for God Almighty! “New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, speaking at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, told worshipers that God wants them to get the Covid vaccine. “Yes, I know you’re vaccinated. They’re the smart ones, but you know, there are people out there who aren’t listening to God and what God wants. You know this. You know who they are,” Hochul said. “I need you to be my apostles. I need you to go out and talk about it and say, ‘We owe this to each other. We love each other,’ ” the governor continued. “Jesus taught us to love one another. And how do you show that love, but to care about each other enough to say, ‘Please get vaccinated because I love you. I want you to live.”
I can unequivocally tell you all that this witch is not speaking for Jesus Christ or anyone in heaven but is an advocate of the antichrist!
She has said that the Vaccinations are from God Sends! That woman is a witch and satanic worshiping totally antichrist monster. While DeBlasio as the mayor of NYC a full bore admitted Marxist revolutionary is no different and as I’ve watched him and his horrible performance over time I’ve seen the pure evil in him as well. Then in California where I did live for a period years ago before it became Califonication and a twisted hell-hole is now run by the likes of Newsom, a totally wicked evil man, the nephew of the ever so evil witch Pelosi who comes from a Mafia family background and these are the people in charge of these once great states and centers of arts, business and commerce, but now are centers of debauchery and total lies!
So one of the images that came to me I haven’t written about as I wanted to hold back and not disrupt people or perhaps I was hoping I would see a more encouraging change as the New Year got under way, especially involving those two iconic States as a type of barometer of the coming climatic changes, but, I don’t see anything changing for the better or enough to stop the inevitable from coming and actually it’s getting worse! Save only in all of what I just said, that the one good pinpoint of light; is more people are waking up to the actual truth! So this other image that came to me was the imagery in a great motion picture by one of my favorite directors Francis Ford Coppola who I some years back wanted to actively engage in the Filmmaking world he was producing or doing work that cut to the heart of Truth, and so I met some of his staff and his brother August at his Zoetrope Studios Production Company in San Francisco when it was a really amazing place, before it became an open sewer. Having a lengthy conversation with August one day he suggested I keep writing and if I had one of my film ideas developed further, there could be some possibility for it there. But, looking back the
good reason that I made that connection with them there was for my insight NOW, as to what is going on with the world and so “NOW” it ties into me personally, in a revelatory way how Mr. Coppola’s Masterpiece and epic genius film “Apocalypse Now” and I see that is where this world is heading now, without a doubt, only it’s not a Vietnam story but a Global Story, which applies to that old movie concept, of “Apocalyptic Changes and Events” so this sequence of the film and the classic Doors smashing musical score, “The End” hits a deep nerve straight into my heart and soul, sounding an alarm that this world is in, “Big Apocalyptic Trouble Now!”
The metaphor here is surreal but rips and tears at my heart as “True Full Reality” in the making when for example “Captain Willard” in that opening sequence says, “shit I’m still only in Saigon,” and the way I see it, we are in, or should be asking ourselves the same thing; “shit, am I still in this nightmare and nothing has changed for the better!” It ends bloody as that story moves forward just as it will here in this “Real Time Nightmare!”

How do we know Jesus is coming soon? Signs are everywhere!
Haven’t we seen signs throughout the history of the church? Yes, but never converging so completely at one time.
Think of some of the most obvious and easily recognized signs the Bible talks about. Israel must be back in the land. Check! The rise of false teachers and prophets. Check! Rampant deception. We addressed that yesterday…check! Nations and kingdoms rising against one another. Check!
Another sign, mentioned by Jesus Himself in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, is pestilence, defined as a “contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating.” Check!
But let’s consider a bit more about Covid, its impact and handling of the pandemic. Suddenly, with a much more virulent, yet less deadly strain (Omicron), panic seems to have risen to new heights in some places, including Israel, who continues to wobble between sanity…

Dear Lord above in the precious name of Jesus, I ask that you continue to greatly bless Mother Miriam; the Benedictine prioress and foundress of the Daughter of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope, along with all like her who tirelessly serve our Father in heaven through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during these most perilous times as His most humble servants; doing all they can to help save souls by following God’s will through the Holy Spirit. They do this as they live a most humble spartan life style, turning their lives over to our Father in heaven to use as His instruments or devoted servants in helping to save souls by means of all their prayers, faithful obedience and countless acts of kindness throughout the world! Amen.
“It’s never too late to repent and turn around and teach your children and begin now,” she said. “Never too late to repent and live a holy life and live out your vocation. Papa, you are the head of the home, mama, you are the heart of the home. Do not abandon your vocation.” Mother Miriam-LifeSite
As soon as I read the heading of this fine article and the first few lines of text last evening I knew I had to republish it with some hopefully helpful additional commentary of my own! And then today as I considered my deepest thoughts from my heart in prayer to Jesus I saw that some writing I was doing that was coming to me through I’m sure divine intervention dovetailed here with the purpose of this article!
Many will know and realize already that the Reformation that by Martin Luther initiated was a significant demarcation point in the Church going into the modern era.
“The Protestant Reformation began in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther, a teacher and a monk, published a document he called Disputation on the Power of Indulgences, or 95 Theses. The document was a series of 95 ideas about Christianity that he invited people to debate with him.” Nationalgeographic.org
But division began in the early infancy of Church which I’m convinced was by Satan and the ever present corruptibility or fallibility of men. Ultimately division or breakaway splinter groups of Christianity have continued unabated to where its estimated by some sources there are as many as 40,000 proclaimed Christian Churches globally but at least here in America I can say more confidently that this breakdown is in the ballpark.
“There are over 300 denomination in the Christian faith in the United States alone. The Roman Catholic Church has about 67 million adherents in the United States.”
More broadly it further breaks-down like this.
“There are about 41,000 different Christian denominations in five major ‘families’ of churches/communion. The percentages in brackets indicate the percent of the Christian population affiliated with each ‘family’ or group of denominations:
The Catholic Church [50%] Historic Protestant and Anglican churches [18%] The Eastern Churches (Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East) [12%] Pentecostal churches [12%] Evangelical (non-Pentecostal) [8%]” answers.com
And I’ve written before and expressed my personal beliefs or conviction that these schisms did great harm moving forward over time, being an utter disservice to Christianity and our Lord Jesus’ sacrifice! While it should be obvious to any of the faithful today that the evidence of the damage done long ago is still reverberating, as the Church is still suffering the consequences from those many conflicts within and without! Yet now even another schism of much greater magnitude is occurring whilst current Christianity is very broken and divided! For many years a number of denominations have accepted and condoned homosexuality and same sex marriage while there is no advocacy for it in Holy Scriptures, and I can say when a person seeks God’s Holy Spirit to guide and protect us on our path to firstly love and serve God above all else; that the Holy Spirit never condoned these behaviors or transgression ideas!
But now even in the Catholic Church the rampant infiltrating attacks have culminated to a major schism again to even further corrupt from within; as Mother Miriam points out.
“Mother’s remarks come amid a firestorm over the “Synodal Way,” a heretical initiative of the German Church seeking to change immutable Catholic teaching on sexuality and the priesthood.
Echoing proposals backed by the Synodal Way, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, a close adviser of Pope Francis, earlier this month claimed that homosexual acts are not sinful and disparaged the authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church as “not set in stone.”
This only convinces me more how being in the Last Days period before the tribulation and the Final Judgment of this world time is running out fast for anyone to make certain they are keeping their robes washed and doing their best to avoid all sin because Jesus we know from His teachings will come again “like a thief in the night,” and there will be the gnashing of teeth for those who are not invited in!
“27And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’ 28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out. 29People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.” Luke 13:27-29
The rampant corruption and evil that permeates our societies and cultures is to me truly already unbelievable but this is nothing yet; because as the Tribulation comes upon the world the horror and evil will be many magnitudes worse and death will be a welcome friend! This article and the urgency that Mother Miriam is proclaiming to the world should be taken to heart and then we all should be doing some serious unrelenting soul-searching of ourselves to be as prepared as we possibly can for any eventuality, whether we depart this life on earth before that appointed time or are still here when it arrives so that we are not caught completely off guard!
This article concludes with this specific text which to me is a sure sign of just how twisted and out of control the world has gotten because I see where far too many people do not abide by or even advocate this sound doctrine or the tenets of God’s truth!
“The Catechism, using language that signals infallibility, states, “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’” “Under no circumstances can they be approved.”
I pray that you will find the time soon to read this full article but to also read all of what I wrote today in reference to these problems and the dire straits we are heading toward rapidly, because my hope is this can help to inspire and perhaps open some eyes to how treacherous the road ahead of us is!
I hope this won’t be a hindrance but allow me to point out a few things off the top, then follow through with another apologetic dissertation!
“Someone has said: “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.” By this principle we can see our standards shifting from year to year according to the popular vote!
“Many of our news magazines carry stories of immorality. Theologians and pastors are quoted as condoning sexual immorality under certain circumstances.
The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.”
Now these following points I believe indicate the systemic false ideology that has prevailed for many decades spawning yet new and even more dangerous mantras that people now live by! Like these concepts a very fine Christian pointed out to me; which have been ingrained in generations of younger people. Always question authority, If it feels good why not do it, and how an action or behavior isn’t wrong if nobody gets hurt!
I look around and it’s in plain sight how so many people are being hoodwinked, mesmerized and hypnotized into believing this is all normal and moving in a good direction; it’s great to do your own thing mentality! I see for example a young woman who professes to love Jesus Christ and builds a website using the Scriptures to promote Christianity but interlacing that with many images of self, some of which only appear to be those of some female temptress or a person inflated with self and looks, which is absolutely heathen as well a mockery of God to use Scriptures, the Holy Word of God in such a way, and multitudes of so called Christians see nothing wrong there!
I could go on for an hour writing here but I’ll close with this! I can see how this is truly the Lost Generation and people had better wake up fast and get off this modern digital age techno self-glorification ride; because they won’t like where the ride ends up taking them! I’ll admit even my own folly perhaps not in this newer arena of techno debauchery or even blasphemy but over the years I see how I was brainwashed and corrupted to see some activities for self, that I did participate in as being truly wrong or sinful, that I thought wrongly were OK; because modern culture and society condoned or advocated them!
As to knowing God and giving Him all due reverence, I can say that growing up and even into adulthood this was not of paramount importance in my daily life nor the lives of all immediate people around me as they were totally engrossed in their worldly activities and goals be they short or long term! Culture and imperfect “Ways of The World” system of programs coupled with Pop Culture or Entertainment which was and is fused with Main Stream News were basically leading the people by their noses as to what is cool or good to do and think! Only through maturity and some hard-knocks came my increased wisdom or insight to differentiate the nonsense from “the reality of God’s Truth,” which is the paramount reason and purpose for my existence, so that my objective is to love and serve God Almighty! So now I can say yes, I’m better off by far than I was years ago, but, also realizing sometimes habits or indoctrination aren’t so easy to brush away and can trip any of us up, because we are all creatures of habit too; and “all have fallen short of the Glory of God!”
“9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.” Romans 3:9-11
Of course God knows all and sees all of this beyond anything we can fathom and in the end he Judges it as Billy Graham said, so that finality and perfection of God doing what, He will; is the only perfection that exists! As I see it all I can do as long as I have the time here to do it; is “try harder to learn and correct my own thinking and behavior moving forward to better align with God’s Will and Purposes!”But with that I gain more clarity as to what is happening around me and one does begin to see the obvious corruption running rampant from what seem like little and inconsequential things people are doing, to some horrendous diabolical sins being perpetrated and fostered in plain sight! But even those little things that are morally wrong or do not meet with God’s acceptable standards; for even a broken soul and tainted heart will get out of hand if allowed to continue, just like it only takes a match or spark to start a forest fire that is raging totally out of control! We now on a different level with the same principle, see what has just occurred in the Ukraine, and I see how it could slowly burn itself out or it may lead to nuclear fire raining down on a region all because someone lit that match and tossed it into a barrel of gasoline. And to this most critical point I bring to the fore I place this divine great scripture to all who will pray and contemplate its true meaning and then seek to correct their minds along with their hearts!
“1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.” Romans 12:1,2,3
On the immediate home front and religious level which is what I was most concerned about as a Christian citizen, is how we have a president that calls his self a duly elected one, and to boot a practicing Christian Catholic; and I can say with confidence he is neither! I’m also sure you and many others see what I mean here and how so much of our modern Ways of The World System has become so infested and infected with corruption, or on that spiritual level of import; Sin! Let’s face reality when a Christian Catholic pope is promoting global politics and Marxism along with blatant lies or as a Presbyterian Church is actually advocating and fostering abortion and saying it is good, we have clearly reached a hideous place as far as humanity goes, and certainly in the eyes of God the human race is becoming a total atrocity on steroids, as fast as greased lightning!
“Standing in the Kentucky Capitol on Thursday, Presbyterian pastor Rev. Wayne A. Gnatuk proudly declared his support for abortion.
Gnatuk, a retired minister from the Presbyterian Church USA, joined Planned Parenthood abortion activists for a rally to criticize two pro-life bills that could help protect unborn babies in Kentucky, according to WLKY.
“As an ordained minister, I am proudly pro-choice. I am also very proud that my denomination as a whole is pro-choice,” Gnatuk said. Along with his ministry work, he also is the chair of the pro-abortion Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.”
Here, back on August 27, 2021 this is what I wrote about the matter!
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.
OK, so my main point is with no fanfare, or as I like to say, no sugar-coating, this is over the top atrocity and blasphemy; which it is running rampant throughout ‘civilization,’ a term to me which is loosely used in the here and now modern age; because I see the human race absolutely becoming far less civilized and human than ever before! Which points out vividly how powerful a grip Satan has on God’s children and Armageddon can’t be far behind now with all of the smoke and mirrors or such vast deceptions!
What the planet went through for the last two years and let’s call it out for what is; a total evil lie to manipulate and control the global population and usher in the “New World Order” all of it directed from hell itself! Now why is it that so many people I see are doing just the same things they did before this event or throughout most of their lives? Are they that brainwashed and perhaps stupid; what’s called “willfully ignorant” or sadly, is it because they really don’t care and love worshiping self and seeking pleasure, money and power above all? For now, I say it’s all the above; depending on which subsets or individuals we speak of!
God bless you!

Mother Miriam: Catholics who support LGBT movement are ‘on the way to hell’
The Benedictine nun said that parents and pastors, in particular, will face eternal damnation if they lead those entrusted to them to LGBT lifestyles.
Mother Miriam speaks at Conference of Catholic Families, Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 22–23, 2018.
Tue Apr 26, 2022 – 6:16 pm EDT
– Mother Miriam issued a stark warning to dissident Catholics risking damnation by supporting the “heresy” of the LGBT movement.
The Benedictine prioress and foundress of the Daughter of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope, stressed in an episode of LifeSite’s Mother Miriam Live! that Catholics from the pope down who reject Church doctrine jeopardize their and others’ eternal salvation.
Catholics have been “given more than anyone on the face of the Earth,” she said. “If we do not live up to the truths that we’ve been given, to the grace that we’ve been given, through the Scriptures and the sacraments and the Church, we have no hope of salvation, and that goes for every single one: priest, bishop, cardinal, pope, layperson.”
“Anyone, according to St. Paul, who teaches another gospel, he will be anathema, he will not see heaven,” Mother Miriam added. “Very, very serious.”
She singled out pastors who promote homosexuality and transgenderism, saying that they are on the “way to hell” regardless of their position in the Church.
“If you’re a shepherd and you’re leading sheep astray, if you are proposing or you are a proponent of same-sex so-called ‘marriage;’ of homosexual unions; of LGBT+, Q, whatever, lifestyles; of gender ideology – if you are a proponent of any of those, no matter who you are, what state you’re in, what status you have, you are not on the way to heaven,” she said. “You are on your way to hell, unless you not only repent, but publicly confess your sin, and warn anyone who has followed you into such heresy, in order that they be saved.”
Mother Miriam emphasized Catholics’ especially great responsibility as “the chosen people of God, chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.”
“He died for every one of us, and woe be to any soul who leads little ones astray,” she said, referring to Jesus’ admonition that anyone who “causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6).
“Little ones” includes “everyone for whom God died, no matter age,” Mother Miriam clarified.
The Church is in “awful shape today,” she continued, lamenting that “our prelates, our shepherds in great, great, great number have fallen. They have lost the faith – if they ever had it – and they’re leading the sheep astray.”
But Catholics who follow false teachings will still be “accountable before God” even if the errors they believe are endorsed by Church leaders, Mother Miriam warned:
So, if you’re a sheep out there, if you’re baptized, if you’re a Catholic, you must follow the teachings of the Church, you must follow the Catechism. If any pastor, any prelate, any bishop, any cardinal, anyone goes against the Catechism of the Catholic Church, goes against the Scriptures, if you follow that, you will be accountable before God, because we are mature. We can read. We need to know the faith and not be, as James says in James Chapter 1, “led astray by every wind of doctrine.”
“We need to be strong and faithful, and I don’t think we have a lot of time to fool around and decide to follow God,” she said.
Parents ‘will not be in heaven’ if they don’t protect their children
Mother Miriam also pointed to the special duty of parents to safeguard their children from “sin and debauchery” widely taught in both public and Catholic schools. Parents guilty of “leading a little life to hell” by permitting their moral corruption “will not be in heaven,” she stressed.
“If you’re a parent, you are responsible for your children, to nurture them and teach them the faith,” she explained. “It is not the schools or the Church that is responsible to grow your children up in the faith. It is you. You are the stewards of your children.”
While God will hold schools and the Church accountable for their failings, the Benedictine nun noted, “parents have the number one stewardship of those children.”
“If you don’t know what they’re being taught in school, and if they’re being taught gender ideology, they could be a boy or a girl, or whatever, or an ‘it,’ whatever they want, or that ‘LGBTQ’ is OK, and all ‘inclusiveness’ and every manner of debauchery is OK, and you don’t know your children are being taught that, you are accountable before God,” she insisted.
To parents who know that their children are being indoctrinated in gender ideology and sexual perversion but choose to keep them in school, Mother Miriam said, “you will not be in heaven with them. You will not be, because you are leading a little life to hell, if you bring them to a school, even a Catholic school, that is teaching such sin and debauchery.”
Mother Miriam instead urged parents to homeschool their children: “Take them out. If they’re in public school, get them out and homeschool them.”
“You must protect your children no matter what.”
Single parents who can’t homeschool should find a suitable home school group or a family member who could teach children in the home.
“But don’t send them to the devil’s playground,” Mother Miriam pleaded, “which is any public school that teaches heresy, that teaches the devil’s theology, and especially a Catholic school under the name of Catholic that teaches sin – that’s even worse.”
Reports of radical LGBT and racial ideology and graphic sexual material in schools across the country have exploded in recent months, with some schools found to be promoting “transgender” identities to children as young as just three years old.
Several Republican-led states, including Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, have responded with legislation to limit discussion of sexuality and gender in grade schools. But other states have doubled down on sexualized instruction for children. Starting in September, second graders in New Jersey will have to understand the “core ideas” of “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.”
“We don’t have time left, and God will judge us for what we have done and what we have failed to do,” Mother Miriam concluded, calling on parents to rediscover their vocation.
“It’s never too late to repent and turn around and teach your children and begin now,” she said. “Never too late to repent and live a holy life and live out your vocation. Papa, you are the head of the home, mama, you are the heart of the home. Do not abandon your vocation.”
Mother’s remarks come amid a firestorm over the “Synodal Way,” a heretical initiative of the German Church seeking to change immutable Catholic teaching on sexuality and the priesthood.
Echoing proposals backed by the Synodal Way, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, a close adviser of Pope Francis, earlier this month claimed that homosexual acts are not sinful and disparaged the authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church as “not set in stone.” People are “allowed to question what’s in there,” he said.
The Catechism, using language that signals infallibility, states, “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’” “Under no circumstances can they be approved.”

False delusional hope or even a kind of arrogance is growing rampantly by multitudes who are believing the wrong things or in treacherous deceptions; so the wise know that “any cyclical patterns on earth or in the universe are only a facade and very temporary in God’s terms; where a thousand years is a mere day, and He states clearly that this world is passing away! The signs are quite evident now and “this is the most unprecedented time” in all earth history where mankind can destroy the planet and is moving quickly to do just that with all of this “rampant madness and wickedness throughout!” Pay attention to these Scriptures and see into God’s truth in His own words and know that “Time here is Very Short” and false hope of being able to right this ruinous and wanton unto more arrogance is a colossal failure; which will doom many to hell that don’t “Discern humbly” the earth shaking plight they face all around them!
Don’t ignore that man now isn’t only worshiping as in past generations “false material idols,” but can and is “mingling the human genome with other species of life” playing God, and with AI technology is building a “beast like no other ever possible before on earth,” where this creature will have all collective human data and knowledge to process at the speed of light, out thinking and superseding any human thought/knowledge capacity; so man is “making his own God and Oracle” or shall we say Satan’s false “anti-God beast!”
2 Peter 3:1-18 “Dear friends, this is the second letter I have written to you. In both of them I have tried to get you to remember some things. 2 You should remember the words that were spoken before by the holy early preachers. Do not forget the teaching of the Lord, the One Who saves. This was given to you by your missionaries.3 First of all, I want you to know that in the last days men will laugh at the truth. They will follow their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “He promised to come again. Where is He? Since our early fathers died, everything is the same from the beginning of the world.” 5 But they want to forget that God spoke and the heavens were made long ago. The earth was made out of water and water was all around it. 6 Long ago the earth was covered with water and it was destroyed. 7 But the heaven we see now and the earth we live on now have been kept by His word. They will be kept until they are to be destroyed by fire. They will be kept until the day men stand before God and sinners will be destroyed. 8 Dear friends, remember this one thing, with the Lord one day is as 1,000 years, and 1,000 years are as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about keeping His promise as some people think. He is waiting for you. The Lord does not want any person to be punished forever. He wants all people to be sorry for their sins and turn from them. 10 The day of the Lord will come as a robber comes. The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The sun and moon and stars will burn up. The earth and all that is in it will be burned up. 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, you should think about the kind of life you are living. It should be holy and God-like. 12 You should look for the day of God to come. You should do what you can to make it come soon. At that time the heavens will be destroyed by fire. And the sun and moon and stars will melt away with much heat. 13 We are looking for what God has promised, which are new heavens and a new earth. Only what is right and good will be there. 14 Dear friends, since you are waiting for these things to happen, do all you can to be found by Him in peace. Be clean and free from sin. 15 You can be sure the long waiting of our Lord is part of His plan to save men from the punishment of sin. God gave our dear brother Paul the wisdom to write about this also. 16 He wrote about these things in all of his writings. Some of these things are hard to understand. People who do not have much understanding and some who are not strong in the faith change the meaning of his letters. They do this to the other parts of the Holy Writings also. They are destroying themselves as they do this. 17 And so, dear friends, now that you know this, watch so you will not be led away by the mistakes of these sinful people. Do not be moved by them. 18 Grow in the loving-favor that Christ gives you. Learn to know our Lord Jesus Christ better. He is the One Who saves. May He have all the shining-greatness now and forever. Let it be so.”
Why do you think formerly Obama the first anti-Christian God, anti-American false president and now Biden, “American’s Man of Perdition,” the “puppet symbol of the highly corrupt establishment” full of most horrendous sin and evil is “facilitating Iran to possess nuclear weapons.” And they have blatantly always said in these modern nuclear times that when they have them they are going to “destroy the Holy Land,” the proclamation, “Death to Israel” which was just re-birthed or reoccupied as the home of the Jewish People in 1948; the birthplace of Jesus and God’s chosen people the Jews. The bringing on of the Islamic Mahdi’s final war on earth! The truth is self-evident and in plain sight now. “The countdown to annihilation is in progress;” denying it will be “a fool’s errand” and “not being mindful of what God has warned His children to do” moving forward in these “Latter Days!”
A most advanced but very fake “secular world” like “the one we are in now” is the “shape and form” of the “Latter Days!”
2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,”
1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
1 Timothy 4:1 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,”
Matthew 24:24 “For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.”
John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
2 Timothy 3:13 “While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”
Matthew 24:33-34 “So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door. 34Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.”
Israel Re-established!
Isaiah 66:7-8, “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child. 8Who has heard such things? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children”
Ezekiel 37:21-22, “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.”
Fulfillment: May 14, 1948.
Zechariah 8:3-8, “Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ 4“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age. 5‘And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.’ 6“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘If it is too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be too difficult in My sight?’ declares the LORD of hosts. 7“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; 8and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.”
Zechariah 12:2-3, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness(rage) to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it”

The time for even many so called Christians to wake up is now; and hopefully multitudes more non-Christians will with them! Amen.

As you do, look at what is happening in your own country’s history.
You will see it in these verses and see what is happening right now in your own country.
We have sinned just as our ancestors did. We have done wrong; we have done evil. Our ancestors in Egypt did not learn from your miracles. They did not remember all your kindnesses, so they turned against you at the Red Sea.
But the Lord saved them for his own sake, to show his great power. He commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led them through the deep sea as if it were a desert. He saved them from those who hated them. He saved them from their enemies, and the water covered their foes. Not one of them escaped.
Then the people believed what the Lord said, and they sang…
“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!
A year passed and have things changed; not really the same game but worse!
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 with; 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, 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 really 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!
“something to think hard about”
“will you be ready”
“We get only one chance to make the most of our calling.”
Life is No Joke, No Laughing Matter!
“Mourning motivates a person toward sober contemplation of his own mortality, which tends to affect the wellspring of our thoughts, words, and conduct effectively and positively. The wellspring of conduct is the heart, which is why “heart” is mentioned four times in these verses.”
Matthew 15:18-19 “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.”
“Dr. Ernest Becker, made this telling comment, confirming what the Bible clearly states: “The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is the mainspring of human activity—activity designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny for man”
Author Susan Sontag wrote, “Death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.” Our language of death clearly shows society’s attempts to soften, hide, or even deny it by using euphemisms, such as calling the dead person “the departed” or by saying that he “passed away” or “is not with us anymore.” This is done to avoid saying the words “death” or “dead.”
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”
“God deals with it in His Word by showing that it is best for us to deal with it directly. This allows us to understand more fully that death is indeed the way of all flesh and to lay it to heart, shifting the balance of our thoughts about its reality toward more serious thinking on it.”
“God is saying that sorrow tends to make us better people.”
“Martin Luther also made an insightful observation on preparing for death: “It is good for us to invite death into our presence when it is still at a distance and not on the move.” The time to learn about rock climbing is not when hanging from the edge of a precipice but well before starting up the side of the cliff. It seems, though, that many do most things on the spur of the moment, a practice that is not good, especially concerning something like death that absolutely no one escapes.”
2 Corinthians 7:8-11 “(8) For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. (9) Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. (10) For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. (11) For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves,what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”
2 Corinthians 7:10 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.”
“The result of a parent disciplining a child in a timely manner and in appropriate measure is a good illustration. Is not some measure of pain and its accompanying sorrow inflicted? Proverbs frequently tells us to spank our children. Why? Is not it to produce the sorrow of separation from one who is loved to accomplish a change in attitude and behavior?
God is saying through Solomon, then, that sorrow—in a morally and ethically beneficial way in which laughter cannot—penetrates and influences the heart, the very center of our being and from which conduct flows. So important is godly sorrow that II Corinthians 7:10 states, “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.”
The second point Solomon touches on is that a person must prepare for his death (Ecclesiastes 7:1). That we will die is a reality. Especially during youth, we easily overlook the reality of approaching death as we focus on the present. More importantly, Ecclesiastes is written primarily for the benefit of the converted, which means we get only one chance to make the most of our calling. Thus, when we die, there is no changing our reputations from the reality of how they turned out to what they might have been. Proverbs 10:2 tells us bluntly, “Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.”
The third element Solomon broaches is that we learn more from difficult times than from the times we would consider “good” (Ecclesiastes 7:2). We may not enjoy days of difficulty, but if we are seriously considering the consequences of our choices, we find that the difficult times force us to consider our ways and make corrections. “Fun,” on the other hand, influences us to remain as we are.
“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.”
“The apostle Paul sharply charges us by his example in I Corinthians 9:26-27: “Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.”

What’s going on is we’re seeing the weapon of deception being deployed like never before in human history because we have Digital AI technology and communication around the globe which is now making the timing of the final conflict between good and evil an imperative and foregone conclusion; The old adage “it’s now or never” is what we have going on! Look at the corruption of late in the US government the once iconic “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave” with the Bald Eagle as it’s government seal image; with top officials in on or allowing mutiny, sedition, treason, insurrection, espionage along with some of them outwardly attacking the US Constitution; which they all must take the Oath to uphold and defend, but they are not! They’ve allowed not just left wing anti-American enemies of America to hold office and do all they can to cause division or disruption within this government but many are actually true enemies of the American Way and System of a United States Republic under God; the Judaeo-Christian God of the Bible; and want it overthrown to be replaced with Communism or even much worse!
All the while this is happening right under the noses of the GOP that basically makes a little noise from time to time to make it look like they care or want to do the right thing to protect America and its Citizens but they do diddly-squat; because it’s all a charade with mouthpieces going along to get along, as long as they have theirs; as in making the big bucks and remaining a member of the exclusive Senate Club of world class leaders and the ruling class elitists! Mitch McConnell has effectively done nothing, absolutely nothing to curtail the onslaught of the leftist Democrat Marxist party, because he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about any of it; while he makes his millions with his Chinese brother in-law running their cargo shipping business based in China. They’re mostly crooked scum; these high paid forked tongue devils or lawyer mouthpieces!
In the snakes den where these serpentine players do their dirty deeds!
So it’s been all about the money all along, with most ruling class bigots but now God’s prophesied judgment is coming full steam ahead so the diabolical are ratcheting up the Antichrist plan to oppose God and His coming army of spiritual Angels to subdue and cast into the bottomless pit all enemies of heaven and mankind! Therefore the Devil knows this is the only last ditch effort time to take God on and attempt to trick as many human souls into turning to him Satan over Jesus Christ through this coming Antichrist and a master plan of deception! (Matthew 6:24) “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
There are no little green men or E.T. type space travelers that are suddenly going to make their appearance because they’ve been too shy up till now! Anyone that knows anything about physics and biological life knows that intergalactic space travel; what these birds are suggesting, is not possible, and if the expense or matter anti-matter bending of physics weren’t enough in their minds to prove it an unattainable capability in our material frame of reference and science; the sheer foolhardiness and stupidity to think we or any corporeal beings that are biological like we; is beyond a fool’s errand to think otherwise!
Maybe you’ve guessed it or even surmised the truth over time that what we are talking about are demonic beings that are not anything like us but are from a spirit plane of existence who are capable of transmuting themselves from one realm to another; namely to visit upon the earth and invade our space! We’ve all borne witness to how deceptive tactics were deployed prior to the US Presidential Election that did alter minds, attitudes and hearts to move one way or another! This was done by very diabolical and sinister nefarious persons to achieve their ultimate goal of conquest! They had satanic forces aiding them in these efforts to prepare the stage and lay the groundwork for much bigger things to come. If you noticed like me and read many of the things I’ve written over the last couple of years you would also see that there are many individuals who are not for God and Christ at all, and have true evil in their hearts being guided by Satan! The Puppet POTUS Joe Biden is absolutely one of those along with Harris and many other agents in the government!
The face of the Devil’s corrupt cohort and player who is possessed with evil!
What is coming is the final battle between heaven and earth so you best keep your focus and heart on Jesus Christ who is your only hope for everlasting life; nothing else matters, NOTHING! So put these flights of fantasy and stupidity out of your mind and seek God’s will for you each day by prayer and asking the Father through Jesus Christ to send to you the Comforter otherwise known as the Holy Ghost; to keep you enlightened so you won’t fall into any traps being laid to take you to hell! Are you hearing me? I truly hope so, and ask God through Jesus to save all who have faith and those who are about to awaken to the truth and will have it.
Signs of END TIME.
“critical times hard to deal with.”—2 Timothy 3:1.
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]” Ephesians 6:12
“People fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Luke 21:26
“Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4
“And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.” Matthew 24:22
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.” Matthew 24:21
“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12
“Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.” Revelation 14:12
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:37
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” Acts 3:19-21
First John 2:15-16 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.”
Galatians 1:10 says, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Clearly from this verse, we cannot consistently please both God and the world. The desire for popularity and even fame or fortune is rooted in our old sinful nature. When we give in to it, we are living “according to the flesh” (Romans 8:5, 12).
If we are consumed with loving the world, which means being devoted to the world’s treasures, philosophies, and priorities. God tells His own to set their priorities according to His eternal absolute value system. We are to “seek first” God’s kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
Revelation 21:4 “promises, He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, no mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
God bless.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

Eva I’m sorry to hear that you had all of this complicating illness with ensuing difficulty, but it’s great how you saw into it all. I swear by holistic and homeopathic treatment with understanding and care taken to balance the body and mind. The standard medical establishment has been corrupted just like our governments and politics, all about the money; so I take what they all say with a grain of salt if at all, because I mostly ignore them. I had a severe chemical toxin pulmonary industrial injury and over time all of the aggravation along with the effects of not only the toxins but the actual medications was going to kill me if I didn’t do like you did and get smart! I dug into what our bodies are built to deal with and how to enhance our own autoimmune system to be as balanced and healthy as possible! I will say up front there is no cure-all or panacea that will solve all of our inevitable breakdown and deterioration, no fountain of youth! I had been blessed with incredibly good genes and just the DNA telomeres being tight and intact kept me healthy, once I started eliminating the damaging components.
“Telomeres and aging Telomeres are strings of DNA that protect the ends of chromosomes. Telomeres tend to shorten over time as they do their job, so they’re considered biological markers of aging. Unhealthy lifestyle habits — such as smoking, eating junk food, obesity, inactivity, and chronic stress — are also associated with shorter telomeres.” health.harvard.edu
Those end cap molecules on the ends of our DNA strands called Telomeres that are akin to say the plastic enclosure caps on the ends of your shoe laces; are a key in this breakdown process, as in with time and age or causally related deterioration on the molecular level, these end caps get damaged then shorten with time like a built in obsolescence leading to DNA breakdown and damage, which is a loss of some genetic coding that will subsequently lead to inefficient inexact replication or new cell growth that then has lost some of the original coding, no longer the once original brand new version! But I got up to speed on this subject having to be my own lawyer in a case where I had this damage caused on the job!
So I found that after my not abusing my body and health all of my life, no drugs or alcohol or anything that was violent to the balance of my health; I was suddenly thrust into a cauldron of imbalance with powerful medications many of which were made in China, so I’m sure there were chemical components in the manufacturing of them that were also harming me on top of the usual negative side effects overall of the treatments. I had to discover some new thinking and an approach to staying healthy for as long as possible, and like I say, there are no guarantees but we can sure try our best to take care of what God created us with, which if managed well can be miraculous!
I eventually got off all medication and I’m very careful what I eat, other than my weakness for sweets occasionally I’m eating a very healthy diet of all the things you mentioned, combining vegetables, fruits, herbs, fish, chicken and some high quality grass-fed beef occasionally along with my “Ginger Green Tea Concoction” all of which seems to be the ticket to good health as I get older but still have plenty of get up and go along with no bodily ailments of any kind, whether it be one of bone, muscle or internal organs. I’m back to what I was blessed with before that catastrophe occurred, with some damage and signs of breakdown, but, more minimal as compared to people even much younger than me who ignore these basic foundational principles of good health management, who instead abuse their bodies. I did spring back and I suppose if this injury with ensuing mayhem and all the accompanying stress, because of my deciding to represent my own work/injury case with no lawyer’s help. If all of this hadn’t happened I’d be like a 30 year younger person as I was before the calamity; maybe I’m like a 10 to 15 year younger person in reality now anyhow; which I’m not going to complain about!
Keep up the great outlook and gaining insight!
God bless.
Thank you sister/professor Joanne! This presentation is absolutely beautiful and points to God’s truth and absolute nature of divine perfection!
I quote these excerpts with a joy in my heart because of God’s truth!
“Yet, the evidence shows God’s love will never make peace with humankind’s current condition. The wrath of God springs from an infinite grief over broken people and the broken relationships between people and God, people and each other, and people with creation. God’s wrath flows from the beautiful and pure grief of a Being Who is breathtakingly holy and lovely. God Who loves and longs for intimacy with humankind, and for shalom among all creation, will have it.”
Holiness
“The Wrath of God is God’s just judgment, God’s active, resolute opposition against all sin and evil, everything that is wicked and wrong. It is the consuming fire of the presence of God’s holiness which burns up in a fiery instant all that is not holy, all that is unholy.
Nothing that is unholy can survive contact with the purity of God’s holiness.
Like matter and antimatter, only one can remain once both have come into contact with each other.”
This got me thinking about something I had written more than a year ago which I would like to share here.
Anyone that knows anything about physics and biological life knows that intergalactic space travel; what these birds are suggesting, is not possible, and if the expense or matter anti-matter bending of physics weren’t enough in their minds to prove it an unattainable capability in our material frame of reference and science; the sheer foolhardiness and stupidity to think we or any corporeal beings that are biological like we; is beyond a fool’s errand to think otherwise!
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:37
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” Acts 3:19-21

“The Wrath of God scoured away the sickness of sin, of corruption and death when Jesus drank the cup of God’s wrath at the cross.
God continues to cleanse the hearts of those who come to the Lord in faith, seeking reconciliation.
And it is at least partly through the agency of the wrath of God that injustice will be replaced with justice, that what is wrong will be made right, what is broken remade, the dead reborn, creation renewed, and the cosmos restored to shalom.”
Revelation 21:4 “promises, He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, no mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
God bless.

Shalom
Isaiah must have been gazing with such joy into the glory of that far away day of promise, and then lowered his eyes to the reality of what was going down around him.
The near-term prophesy of God’s wrath still had to be addressed.
Because of the people’s refusal to repent, God’s hand was stretched out in judgment.
God’s Judgment on Arrogance
The people in Samaria refused to see the fall of the northern provinces, Zebulun and Naphtali, to Assyria as God’s judgment of them.
The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel, and all the people knew it— Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— but in pride and arrogance of heart they said: “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”

Certifiable Banana Republic: Ex CIA Chief gives “a kill president order”
Is this clown act freaking kidding! Trump is a danger now; after having an election win stolen from him by the Establishment “Deep State” which this Ex-Chief is a part of; because he now says Trump has nuclear documents! Does this imbecile former Deep State CIA Enemy of The People establishment crony no-mind actually think I or most educated American Citizens are stupid and going to believe a word he says!
You moron; the compromised “mentally vacant” and insane “China Joe”presently illegally in the White House has “the football” with “all of the nuclear codes to start WWIII” or did he do a “lateral pass” to wacky Dr. Jill the quack or perhaps even the ever so “out of touch with reality constant giggling Kamala? Oh sure; you low down traitor now a “propaganda spin artist” on the “garbage MSNBC trash media outlet.” Could mid-term elections coming up be the core reason!
You sure are coming in loud and clear as to your “motivations or interests,” and I can “unequivocally” say they are all “Criminal and Treasonous!” You stupid Fuck saying an ex-president who had the American Economy better than it had been in over 50 years, which is now under Biden being flushed down the proverbial toilet! You are giving “a kill president order,” which is “High Treason!” You should be in “shackles and an orange jump suit in GITMO” awaiting your execution! I do pray to Jesus Christ you will get what you dish out! Thank you Lord Jesus! AMEN.
God’s wrath is coming swiftly!
Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence Morra III
One more thing!
Hey former CIA Chief Hayden I’m going to run this by you and the crazy Big Guy in the White House as Hunter referred to him on his laptop during his shady business dealings in Communist China now that you have played such a dirty despicable hand; right after the Trump family just lost a mother and while the totally bogus set-up J6 fiasco is imploding for what it is; a Giant Adam Schiff Style Lie about Russian Collusion!
This sudden new huge Hire of 87,000 IRS agents at a cost of $45.6 billion just for enforcement who are to be equipped with assault rifles and instructions that they be willing to “shoot to kill a subject and is dog” during tax investigations if deemed a threat! I have to say in light of what the DOJ and AG Socialist Garland is up to lately with weaponizing the FBI, couldn’t it be quite possible that this hire of all those IRS Agents with high powered military style guns is all about actually producing a “New American Nazi Style Gestapo!” That is exactly what I know Biden is doing to prepare for the coming reeducation or indoctrination camps! Who the hell do you think you are kidding; and most important who the hell do you despots think you are?
America is a Republic under “God” with a “Government of the people, by the people, for the people,” not yours to rip off and abuse this way!
Former CIA Chief Hayden Suggests That President Trump Be Executed

Ever since President Trump was forced from office, the Democrats have tried to find a way to keep him from running again but so far all of them have failed. He wins in poll after poll.
Finally, a member of the Deep State has found a permanent solution. Kill him. Michael Beschloss, a presidential historian and frequent contributor to MSNBC suggested that Trump took nuclear documents with him from the White House.
Trump has denied the charge and neither the FBI nor the DOJ has backed up the claim that appeared in the unreliable Washington Post. This is also unlikely since the FBI got access to all of the documents they felt he should not have several months ago.
Had he been in possession of such documents, they would have seized them then. There is no mention of them anywhere in the search warrant used to raid Trump.
This is what Beschloss used to infer that Trump could be executed during his mindless rant:
Beschloss did pick up someone who liked Beschloss’s argument. That was the former head of the NSA and CIA, Michael Hayden. Hayden, who was stained not go down in history as an insipid fool, tweeted a reply saying Sounds about right:
Beschloss’s idiocy aside, why was the former head of two clandestine agencies making approving noises about executing anyone? That didn’t sit well with Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy.
Dunleavy wrote, “NBD [no big deal] just a former NSA & CIA Director (who also was among the dozens of ex-intel officials who signed the infamous October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter) out here suggesting that Trump should be executed.”
The “Hunter Biden laptop letter” was a document signed by “over 50 former U.S. intelligence officials” asserting that the laptop allegedly containing dirty secrets about the private life and business dealings of the then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son was Russian “disinformation.”
However, it has since been confirmed that the laptop and its content regarding Hunter Biden are real.
Hayden, a retired four-star Air Force general who served as director of the National Security Agency and later the CIA under former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020. “If there’s another term for President Trump, I don’t know what happens to America. Truth is really important but especially in intelligence. President Trump doesn’t care about facts,” Hayden, who suffers from aphasia as a result of a stroke in 2018, said in an ad from Republican Voters Against Trump.
And what is Hayden most known for?:
I miss the old days when former intel chiefs had class and kept their nose out of political debates. Hayden was NSA chief during the agency’s massive data grab after 9/11 — an event he and his agency had missed that caused the deaths of 3,000 Americans. Hayden was also accused of lying to Congress in 2007 about the CIA’s torture regime.
